Chapter 415 The technical problems behind the communicator
A cheap, convenient, stable and reliable remote communication method, the role it can have in the process of social development is beyond doubt, especially at the moment when Gao Wen destroyed the old aristocratic forces in the southern border and began to integrate and build the new southern border, its significance is even as important as those guns that can destroy the old aristocratic.
There are many factors that restrict social development. For Cecil, whose territory has rapidly expanded and its population has increased rapidly, the two biggest challenges in maintaining the dominance of the southern border at this stage are transportation and communications, the territorial material transportation capacity, construction capacity, information circulation capacity, response speed and response effectiveness of the entire ruling structure... These are almost all depend on the development of transportation and communication technology.
Excellent transportation can enable the rapid flow of materials and personnel within the territory, production and construction will be guaranteed, commerce will be developed, and the connections between regions will become closer and not loose. In an emergency, it is also a prerequisite for ensuring that the army can quickly rush to the war zone. Excellent communications allow the Department of Government Affairs to understand the situation in the entire region, ensure that the information in various regions is timely and smooth, and allow the Department of Government Affairs to respond to various emergencies as quickly as possible. To achieve these two points, it is necessary to rely on the development of technology and productivity.
Ansu's aristocratic feudal system was a manifestation of backwardness in Gao Wen's view, but it was an inevitable result of limited transportation and communication technology. The rulers could not control the situation outside the territory in time, nor could they send troops outside this limit area in the shortest time. At the same time, the materials of a city were difficult to transport to other cities, which also destined to have aristocratic feudal division and separatist rule, and the city was the state. In fact, until Ansu 557, the nobles and scholars still followed the following famous sayings:
The area where a lord can effectively rule is the farthest end his knight can reach within three days and nights, and the area where he can achieve absolute rule is the farthest distance his mage adviser can see with Hawkeye.
This ancient saying was popular in Ansu for hundreds of years, and it did not change until the summer of 557: a noble mage of the Holy Spirit Plain named "Delta" invented a crystal device that could amplify Hawkeye's Technique and installed it on the top of his mage tower, thus expanding the lord's "absolute rule area".
In the following decade, at the suggestion of this visionary aristocratic wizard, the Ansu royal family started construction in 567 to build the "Kingdom Avenue" with the city of Saint Sunil as the center point, with the cross between the east, west, south and north through the entire Holy Spirit Plain and extending to varying degrees to the four realms, which greatly strengthened the royal family's control over the country. The upper nobles from all over the country followed suit and built a series of roads within their respective territories. In addition, the successful cultivation of the new "white-feathered" griffon at the same time and the emergence of the messenger pass bill, the transportation and communication situation in Ansu's country developed greatly, and the nobles' ability to rule over the territory and the royal family took a big step forward.
However, in these developments, the aristocratic feudal system that lasted for hundreds of years reflected its powerful inertia. Except for the Kingdom Avenue, almost all the road construction of Ansu was still cut by the sealed territories one by one. Whether it was road standards or carriages and horses, there was almost no continuity between different noble territories. Griffon messengers were also regarded as a symbol of noble glory, and the cost was indeed not reduced. They never developed to the stage of popularization. The feudal aristocrats continued their pride, reserve, self-esteem and self-enclosure. On the one hand, they enjoyed the benefits brought by the strengthening of dominance in the territory, but on the other hand, they instinctively refused to continue to develop and influence their absolute authority over their fiefdoms.
Originally, if there was enough time, the day of breaking the deadlock would appear sooner or later. The old nobles could not have stopped society from moving forward forever, but unfortunately, before the Kingdom Avenue could be built to the border, Ansu ushered in the fog moon internal turmoil.
Therefore, today's Ansu still had to rely on the way the king enthroned vassals and vassals to maintain order. Even due to the huge loss of Ansu's national strength by the fog-month internal strife, the remaining nobles in various places were almost unable to maintain the roads. The number of "white feathered" griffins also dropped sharply in the war, and Ansu's traffic and communication situation almost deteriorated to the state before 557.
Even worse situations are still to come: the nobles who experienced the Fog Moon Civil War and the royal family of the Second Dynasty still remember the terrifying scene of the coalition forces in various places hitting the Holy Spirit Plain through the Kingdom Avenue. In the late period of the war, the power of the nobles in various places declined, and the roads to the castle in the territory became a hidden danger for the lords to sleep and eat. Moreover, the nobles after the war had to retreat and protect themselves due to the decline in population and the chaotic situation. This negative and degraded attitude has even continued to this day.
It was not until Ansu 735 that an ancestor who had lifted his coffin jumped out, with the authority of the founding ancestors, the experience of the two of them for millions of years, and the disdain for the traditional aristocratic system, and began to build his new situation in Cecil in the most unreasonable way.
Looking at the communication device in front of him that was still in the verification stage, not only the communication device appeared in his mind, but also an orderly road connecting all parts of the southern border and even the Ansu.
Transportation and communication, the former has cement and various magical machinery that are rapidly developing, and the latter has finally seen the achievements made by Carmier and Rebecca's efforts so far. These two problems that plague all rulers seem to have solutions.
"At present, this communication device uses a hybrid rune marshal. Most of the rune groups come from the technology of Eternal Sleeper, but the traditional communication spells are used in the occurrence and control of magic shocks," Kamier floated next to the communication device and explained some technical details of the device to Gao Wen. "Unfortunately, we still haven't figured out how the Eternal Sleeper network transmits signals in the primitive magic field in nature, so this device can only operate within the coverage of the standard magic field."
Gao Wen is quite interested in these technical details: "Standard Magic Field...within the scope of the Magic Obelisk?"
"Yes, the standard magic field produced by the magic obelisk is like the lake you described for it. The ripples generated by the communicator spread in the magic field, from one magic obelisk to another. Therefore, we can call this communication method Magic Network communication," Kamaier explained. "I have found a solution to continuously transmit signals using the magic obelisk as a relay, and have achieved success in a small range, but the specific effect after the transmission distance is increased remains to be verified..."
"How do these communication devices pair or identify them?" Gao Wen asked again, "If I have a hundred such devices distributed everywhere, how can I use one of them to accurately connect to another specific device?"
This is also a question that Gao Wen is curious about. The communicator made by Kamier is very different from the traditional communication spell or the magnificent wall of elves. It is a combination of communication technology and the Eternal Sleeper technology. Moreover, its communication medium is the "standard magic field" produced by the magic obelisk of currently high-end technology. From the working principle, it is more like an unselected "broadcast" device. By broadcasting its own signals in the magic field, all similar devices can answer. If there is no matching or recognition method that matches it, all signals will be publicly transmitted without encryption, and the entire magic field becomes an extremely chaotic pot of porridge. This is difficult to realize the "communication network" function required by Gao Wen.
"We refer to the technology from the ancient Gondor era," Carmier seemed to have expected Gao Wen to have questions about this. He immediately gave an answer, and he was quite proud in his tone. "You are also an imperialist, and you should know that the Imperial Information Network was already operating as early as the Spark era."
Gao Wen nodded and said the knowledge he had just extracted from his memory: "Oh, I know this. When I was a knight apprentice, I often listened to operas broadcasted by the imperial capital at my mentor's house. I remember that the device not only could receive radio, but also talk to people far away in the imperial capital. At that time, only nobles or merchants had a deep blue terminal at home, but compared to this era, it was already an extraordinary popularity."
Before Carmier could speak, she heard Rebecca's voice coming from the communicator. She had not hung up and was still grimacing while Gao Wen and Carmier were chatting: "Wow! So is this kind of communication device so popular back then?"
"Compare the number of communication techniques and communication devices now... the communication technology of the Gondor people back then was indeed a miracle," Kamier sighed softly, and then continued, "I added a resonance structure to this device. Only signals that meet the resonance conditions can be transmitted between devices. In order to achieve this resonance, I used the four basic runes of the wind system and four basic runes without attributes, and then disrupted these eight runes and arranged them randomly on a substrate with three times three empty slots. They did not form any rune knots and had no magic effect. However, according to the principle of mana resonance, when another rune group arranged in the same regular pattern participates in the magic oscillation, this resonance substrate will produce the same reaction..."
Speaking of this, Carmel paused, as if giving Gao Wen and Hetty some time to calculate and think, and then continued: "Eight kinds of runes have a lot of arrangement and combination methods on the three-by-three substrate. When calling another device with one device, you only need to use a rune trigger set similar to the color palette of the experiment bench to easily combine the rune structure of the call target. I just used my magic to control this process directly. If ordinary people use it, the rune trigger set is here, and on the side of the device..."
“拨号,这个过程我们可以将其称作拨号,”高文感觉卡迈尔用大量古刚铎名词和现代魔法名词来解释这个简单的过程实在过于复杂,干脆地出声说道,“另外,八种符文我们可以给它们从零到七以数字编上号,这样每个通讯装置就有一串特定的数字来标识它,而使用通讯装置的人也能更轻松地进行拨号了.毕竟,记忆数字总比记忆符文容易一些,而且数字也比符文更适合登记在表格里.”
Whether it was Carmier, Hetty, or Rebecca opposite the communicator, everyone seemed to be accustomed to Gao Wen's performance of "as long as something new appears, he will immediately be as experienced as if he has been using it for many years", and everyone accepted this suggestion calmly.
To be honest, Gao Wen is quite unaccustomed to it...
