Arcane Lord

Next, while Sha Duo was conducting testing experiments in the laboratory, he searched for the Dragon Kuang Mystic Lock Control Center in the North Pole, which is where the fortress mentioned in the Dragon Kuang Secret Scroll is located.

As time passed, the various tests on the calculator went well, but the edge of the Arctic continent was more than halfway searched, and there was still no trace of the ancient elf fortress.

It was almost mid-month when Niya came to Mythra Lab to find Sha Duo and asked Sha Duo to help her take a look at the remote conference system she had made.

"I have conducted a small-scale test in the Tower of Time, and the effect is pretty good. Can you help me see what else needs improvement?"

As she said that, Niya took out a device that looked like a desk lamp from her dimensional bag. Below it was a wooden base with a connecting rod on it. At the top of the connecting rod was a half-open flower bag, which was originally supposed to be part of the flower core. Very familiar.

It’s a crystal magic lamp mass-produced by the Tower of Time!

"Is this a magic lamp? No, you actually built the remote conferencing function into a magic lamp!" Xia Duo was really surprised. He himself had only thought about making a magic item specifically for remote conferencing.

It would be a good idea to integrate it into a magic lamp, or to be more precise, add a magic lamp function to the remote conferencing instrument, and the shape is also made into a desk lamp style, which is actually an indoor decoration style.

This way it won't look out of place when placed indoors.

It's just that the style of the ornament that Niya is taking out now is a bit ordinary. It is a popular model of the territory's magic table lamp. If it is submitted to the parliament like this, the magic lamp from the territory will be spread to the mainland in the future, and it will be criticized for it.

However, the styling is secondary. There are still a few days until the parliamentary meeting. Niya has enough time to create a more refined style that is more in line with the aesthetics of the upper class.

"Let me give it a try."

With that said, Xia Duo fumbled to start the desk lamp, and the light bulb came on. Niya covered her mouth and snickered, and then told Xia Duo, "It's the switch next to it!"

All right! Magic items that use activators have this disadvantage. If the manufacturer does not proactively inform them, the user will have to figure out how to use them for a long time.

Unlike traditional magic items, anyone with basic magic knowledge can know how to use them. If you go one step further, even the encrypted core functional components can be deciphered.

This is probably the price of lowering the threshold for use!

Just like at the beginning of the development of computers on earth, the threshold for use was very high. Most of those who could use it understood the principles and were even able to design. However, as the threshold for use was lowered later, all principles were hidden in more convenient human-computer interaction interfaces. Down.

Many people who have used computers all their lives may not know what the principle of a computer is, or even what components it is composed of.

However, this is also an inevitable trend in the development of things. People make tools for convenience. Unless there are special needs, development will definitely develop in the direction of convenience. (not the only direction)

As for Xia Duo, although he can learn more details through traditional magic items, for personal use, he would rather use magic items with starters.

Without him, it is really convenient.

When using traditional magic items, you must enter a state of concentration to operate the corresponding open magic network string, while magic items with starters only require a manual switch.

From the perspective of energy consumption, the former is at least ten times that of the latter, not to mention that mental fatigue is far more difficult to recover from than physical fatigue.

So naturally it’s not difficult to make a choice.

…

As Xia Duo activated the remote conference function, the magic desk lamp immediately erupted with a magical aura that far exceeded that of a normal desk lamp. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Xia Duo to understand the general details of this spell.

Of course, this is also because Niya did not encrypt the experimental product. If it had been encrypted, she would have had to obtain enough details through continuous activation and then try to crack it.

"Don't forget to encrypt your message to the Parliament!"

Sha Duo warned, but before Niya could reply, the surrounding scene had changed as if it had faded and dyed. It was no longer the original laboratory environment, but turned into a grand hall.

At this moment, he is in the outer area of ​​the hall, and each seat is independent. In the center of the hall is a standard conference table. The seats of the members stand around the conference table, and the distance between any two is small. Totally consistent.

If you only look at the middle, even the position of the speaker is not special at all. But if you add the environment of the entire hall, it is not difficult to see that the speaker is below the parliament emblem.

Moreover, Xia Duo tried to move the leader's seat. He could move it at will within a certain range, except that he could not go behind the speaker, as if there was a wall of air occupying the place.

At this moment, Niya's voice suddenly sounded from far to near, "What you are experiencing now is a remote meeting scene with the authority of the lord. You can move anywhere from ten meters to three meters away from the central round table. Only the speaker is behind you." Areas around 60 degrees are not accessible.”

While Niya was speaking, Niya's figure also entered the illusion from hazy to clear. Seeing this scene, Sha Duo couldn't help but ask:

"If this is a meeting, can others see you?"

"Of course not. Even what you say will not be collected by the remote conference system before the Speaker gives permission. In addition, if the Speaker agrees to your speech, your location will be highlighted so that others can confirm that it is you who is speaking. "

"I see, that's fine too!"

The role of the Speaker is to preside over the meeting, so he should have such authority. If he speaks without order, even if he speaks with substance, it may not have much effect.

In this way, I am afraid that the Speaker will be more inclined to remote meetings. After all, offline meetings meet in person, and members will not care about the Speaker's presence if they want to make a noise.

Obviously, the cost of banning people online is less than banning them offline. If that doesn't work, there is an offline way out. If the reality is that there is a stalemate, it will not be easy to ease.

…

Next, Xia Duo experienced the parliamentary authority again. This is also the authority that he will mainly use in the future. The lord authority is still too little. Apart from voting when the speaker initiates a vote and speaking when the speaker asks him to speak, he can do almost nothing else. Do.

Even moving seats is prohibited after the meeting begins.

It can be said that if a lord does not submit a motion together with the other nine lords or obtain the support of the MPs before the meeting, then the entire meeting will be almost in a state of soy sauce.

Of course, compared to the past, this was already a huge improvement, and at least the system guaranteed the lords' right to participate in political affairs.

In fact, Xia Duo really wanted to see how the members would behave if a motion was voted in vain by the members and then implemented or rejected by the lords.

This is the best way to verify the current operation of the new system. Only after passing such verification can we say that the new system has been truly established.
