Sword of Daybreaker

A brand-new tower-shaped building stands vigorously on the highland on the west side of the Winter Castle. The perpetual snow mountain peaks in the north border form a undulating curtain, which becomes the background of this high tower.

The tall tower is made of steel and cement, with a hexagonal base and simple and straight lines. The streamer flows between the rune lines and the demon metal at the bottom of the tower, as if it has a surging vitality, and A large-scale support structure with a mechanical structure and a crystal array formed by a plurality of crystals are fixed on the top of the tower. In the cold wind of this extreme north, a layer of translucent magic shield shields the wind and frost Erosion, the crystal array on the top of the tower is constantly fine-tuning its structure and angle within the shield.

It hasn't started yet, at this moment the crystal array is further adapting to the magical environment near the Winter Castle.

In a blizzard, Victoria and several high-level mages slowly landed from the air and came to this high ground that was closely protected by several military outposts and a wall of barriers. She looked up and saw that the tower was at Glittering in the sight, piercing the sky like a sword, a smile appeared in the eyes.

This is probably the most beautiful one among all the main hubs of the magic net in the whole Empire. The white color and simple and powerful lines may seem simple, but they perfectly reflect the surrounding environment. When designing this tower, Victoria She even personally participated in some steps to make the style of the north border main hub have a certain degree of synchronization with the same white winter castle next to it. Now, she is very satisfied with the posture of the tower.

And the connection between this tower and Fort Winter is more than that.

Below this highland next to the main building of the castle, in a series of magic net relays extending along the mountain, surging magic flows around the clock-this main hub, and the magic of the Winter Castle Are connected together.

The Wilder family of Northland has been the country ’s most outstanding magic family for hundreds of years. The Winter Castle has accumulated the family ’s heritage for centuries. Victoria has not wasted the ready-made and excellent magic foundation here. After the knowledge of rune logic and magic guide technology, she and the technical consultants from the imperial capital jointly designed a huge system. This system uses the magic net as the "base", covering the magic structure of the Winter Castle and the castle. The entire urban area around it also solves the problems of urban energy supply, magic network hub energy supply, strengthening the stability of the magic network and the upgrading of the castle's own facilities.

And now, this system is already running. It gathers surging and stable energy and injects it into the tall tower in front of Victoria. Soon, it will be further stabilized and adjusted through the crystal array on the top of the tower. The energy is broadcast to the entire area and establishes a stable connection with the magic network hub in other nearby towns.

"After completing the last stage of the stress test, I sent the message to the Imperial City," the Duchess converged with an inadvertent expression, and said to the people beside him, "You can start preparing for the final grid connection."

The mage beside him immediately ordered to leave, and Victoria looked at the tower quietly for a moment, then lowered his head and chanted softly: "Mirmina, the goddess of magic ... May you watch this ..."

In fact, she rarely prays to the goddess of magic. In recent years, she has learned many truths about the gods, and even witnessed the two "divine disasters" in person, she has reduced the number of times the name "Mirmina" is mentioned. But in the final analysis, she is still a mage, and some things that are rooted in her habits are not so easy to change. Even if it is just out of pure spiritual sustenance, she also maintains the legendary "source of all methods" and "magic" Domination "respect.

Prayers did not get any reply, but they could feel the faint attention and psychological response-as expected and reasonable.

...

Along with the slight buzzing sound and the clicking sound of the mechanical device, a document was slowly spit out from the printing device beside the desk. Gao Wen took the document and glanced at it with a smile on his face.

“Byron ’s contact with the gray elves and dwarf representatives in Baiyu Port was very smooth. The initial flight of Curiosity was more than expected,” he smiled at Hetty who was standing aside and had just finished his work. The author said, "It seems that the dwarves living in the extreme west of the mainland are very interested in Cecil's foreign trade machinery, and they are also very interested in magic technology-they may pay a very high price."

"Really? Ah ... I've been waiting for this good news for several days," Hetty blinked, and his tone became very happy. "The dwarves have always lacked gold and silver and magic materials, but the dwarf kingdom's bow toward the inland The Zongshan Mountains have been affecting their trade with mainland countries for a long time. If they can open the sea trade route from Beigang to Forge City, although the distance seems farther away, the cost is definitely countless times more expensive than land transportation. "

"I have heard of the rich minerals in the Dwarf Kingdom. To be honest, more than half of the reasons for restarting the northern continental route are to open up business roads with the dwarves-across the border of the Dwarf Kingdom and the tribe of Ogure. It ’s too difficult to build a trade line in the mountains, ”Gao Wen said with a smile, his face unabashedly happy and relaxed.“ That ’s fine ... although the Curiosity ’s only opened Beigang to Baiyu Port this time. Route, but this is at least a good start, indicating that our entire plan is feasible. "

As he said, he outlined the coastline map of the northwest part of the continent in his mind, and corresponded the navigation data returned by the Curiosity to the details on the map.

He can clearly "see" the location of Beigang and Baiyu Ports, and can also see the arched mountains of the Dwarf Kingdom and several natural ports facing the sea-frankly, for the land trade routes that have been opened, and the geographical location For the gray elves adjacent to the Cecil Empire, the line from Baiyu Port to Beigang is not very significant, but as long as the route continues to be extended, and the merchant ship connects Baiyu Port to the Forge City, then the gray elf merchants immediately You can get huge benefits from it-that very short sea trade road is definitely easier than crossing the arched mountains.

This point, I believe that the sharp-eyed Ms. Wenna Bai Zhi can also see it, otherwise she will not be so proactive in cooperating with the Cecil Empire route resumption plan, and agreed to open the only port of Moss Woods to the sea Used by ships in Beigang.

With further support from the gray elves, his route restart plan will undoubtedly become smoother ...

At this moment, the hum of the machine and the click of the printing device suddenly sounded again, interrupting Gao Wen's thinking.

He looked at the printing device connected to the magic net terminal a bit unexpectedly, and saw another document slowly spit out from the paper exit-on the half-page of paper that had been exposed, you could see the representative of the Wild family Snowflake insignia.

The paper fell into the tray, and Gao Wen reached out and picked it up, while Hetty on the side cast his eyes curiously: "Where is the report?"

The documents that can be directly transferred to this study are usually very unusual, and it is rare that two reports will be sent in such a short period of time.

At this time, Gao Wen had scanned the main part of the document at a glance. The short words did not have much space, but the content was full of big news.

"The North Hub main hub is ready, one day earlier than expected!" He said with great pleasure, even more happy than when he received the good news from Byron, "The report from Victoria-the hub has completed all The acceptance process and the final stress test can now be incorporated into the backbone network at any time-just wait for the emperor's order. "

Herty suddenly opened her eyes. She also waited a long time for this news, especially recently, as the expected acceptance date was approaching, her expectations were also increasing. As one of the people who watched the development of magic technology, she was particularly aware of the empire. What does it mean to be connected to the magic net in the whole world-after staying for less than a second, she showed an extremely happy expression: "Great! We finally wait until this day!"

"How is the preparation?" Gao Wen asked quickly.

"The preparation work for all departments was completed the day before yesterday, and most of the staff are now on standby. We have been waiting for the news from the north," Hetty said immediately. "If you enter the grid preparation process from now on, it will be about four hours later. The first main hub can be officially launched-starting from the hub of Shilin City. "

"Then go," Gao Wen nodded to Hetty. "The next few hours will be a major event."

This is definitely a big event, and he is very sure of it in his heart-just like the start of the first magic net prototype, like the civil war of Ansu, just like the establishment of the empire, what will happen in the next few hours will Enough to leave a mark on the times, he can now foresee that this matter will be printed on the textbooks and test papers of the students in the future, history, politics, and even magic. The kind of technology class you have to learn.

Liberal arts must be taught, and science must be compulsory.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, showing a strange expression.

The ancestor suddenly showed a strange smile, and the prince of the empire was a little confused, but soon Hetty put the doubt in his mind behind him-such a happy moment, the ancestor must have been ups and downs and the smile was more complicated. It is also reasonable.

She explained to herself in this way, and turned to leave Gao Wen's study. She came to the corridor, looked at the neat magic crystal lamps on both sides of the corridor, exhaled gently, then lowered her head and put her hands on her chest to start a short prayer that had not been done for a long time: "Goddess of Magic Milmina ... Would you like to witness everything ... "

Prayers did not get any reply, but they could feel the faint attention and psychological response-as expected and reasonable.

...

Imperial College, a brand new classroom, senior students of the Magic Department are sitting neatly behind the desk, listening to the new "Neural Network Concept Course" this semester.

Elivine, wearing a magical uniform, was looking at the direction of the podium intently, and beside him, a big boy with short brown hair and a few freckles on his face was writing down his head.

"Stoom," Elivine couldn't help but gently touch his newly-acquainted classmate, reminding in a low voice, "Don't just take notes--the teacher is talking about key theoretical knowledge."

The big boy named Strom seemed startled, and the nib left a crooked ink mark on the paper. He looked up and quickly looked at Eleven, and his face appeared a bit nervous and timid: "I ... Okay, okay ... "

Seeing the other party ’s reaction, Eleven wanted to say a few words, but the next second a thunderous version of the sound suddenly came from the direction of the podium: "No conversation in the classroom! Mr. Eleven Franklin!"

This big voice rolled through the classroom like a storm, and all the students were shocked at the moment, and Eleven Franklin was sweating out: even if he was the son of the Duke, he was facing this big voice It can also be extremely tense. In fact, even in the entire Imperial College, no student is not afraid of this loud voice.

He straightened up immediately, made a gesture that had recognized the error, and carefully glanced at the figure on the podium.

A middle-aged man with short stature and erected hair burst standing there. He floated in the air, with a set of magic net projection crystals at the corresponding position under his feet, making a very slight buzzing sound.

After training the students, Magnum shook his head, turned to look at the schematic diagram he had just outlined in mid-air, and prepared to continue with the next lesson: "Okay, everyone is up and we continue to the next part, How to ensure that multiple brainwave signals will not interfere with each other after being passed into a node at the same time. You all listen carefully, because the pioneers who summarized this part of the knowledge spent ten years to solve this problem, and your lucky guys are now It takes less than half a class! First of all ... "

Magnum's voice was halfway through, and suddenly stopped.

In the short silence, the students inevitably had a little commotion, and Eleven heard someone whispering behind him:

"Why did Mr. Magnum suddenly stop talking?"

"Will Ms. Selena turn off the speaker again ..."

"Hush-Ms. Selena might just watch it in the classroom."

"Quiet !!" Suddenly, Magnan's loud voice burst again, he glared at the class, and then waved his hand. "Okay, today's class seems to end early, there is a task over the neural network, I ’m going to turn my attention to other work, and I ’ll leave the rest of this lesson for the next time. ”

Then he added in a loud voice: "But don't you think about being lazy-I have prepared the test papers for the previous part of the course! A teaching assistant will be sent here in a moment, and the remaining half of the class and I will stay here for the next self-study course! "

As soon as the words fell, Magnum's figure disappeared on the podium, leaving only a bunch of formula symbols and schematics floating in the air, and only a group of students looked at each other in the classroom.
