Chapter 279: There is a clear understanding
of the general votes. In this year's additional prophet work, no candidate directly received half of the recommendation votes.
There is not even a candidate who gets one-third of the recommendation votes and starts the strong recommendation mode.
So it's a direct vote flow.
"Are you losing votes? It's not bad. At least there are no new prophets." Duke was quite able to accept this result.
He was not selected because his qualifications and capabilities were too low, not because his achievements were insufficient.
But if someone else is selected and he fails, it will appear that the branding ring he invented is not shocking enough. Otherwise, relying on the achievement of the Ring of Brand, this additional prophet position would not be able to surpass him in any case.
"Sir, is this a notice to supplement the prophet?" Mulali asked in a low voice while twisting the water snake's waist.
"Yes, the vote was lost. There is no new prophet this time." Duke threw the document back on the table casually, and he was indeed a little disappointed. After all, he had had hope before.
But the result was determined, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't need to be distracted by trying to add to the prophetic things. On the contrary, his whole state became more focused.
You can focus more on the matters at hand at the moment.
Thanks to the talent policy he formulated, Cuihai City's population has exceeded 800,000 in just over a year.
An increase of about three hundred thousand.
Most of them were ordinary people who migrated from other cities. Because Duke promised to pay for round-trip tickets, food and accommodation, these ordinary people dared to take a chance and join the newly established city of Cuihai City to make a fortune.
Of course, Duke's own signature is also a very important attraction.
Nowadays, no one in the Seven Towers Federation knows the name of Duke. Duke serves as the chief executive of the Union Tower in Cuihai City. Ordinary people are willing to believe that under his leadership, Cuihai City can achieve great development.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to take the risk of displacement and travel thousands of miles to live in an unfamiliar area.
"Public security must continue to be strengthened in an effort to further curb the crime rate, especially murder cases. I will give you a new internal rule, which is - murder cases must be solved." Duke emphasized at the internal meeting of the Union Tower.
The social security of the Seven Towers Federation is already very good.
Except for the bloody mercenary groups, most urban areas and market towns are relatively safe, with few murders or major crimes occurring.
In particular, the Seven Towers Federation has strict controls on human experimentation, which further restricts the space for arcane mages to kill people. Without this policy, it is estimated that arcane mages would not be able to treat ordinary people as human beings in order to study human experiments.
Soul experiments and human experiments are all taboos in the Seven Towers Federation.
This was inspired by the dream of the stars, accepted by the Arcane Supreme Tower, and formulated into the law of the Seven Towers Federation.
"I will obey your orders," the Union Tower quickly responded to the internal supervisor, a 2nd-level arcane mage.
After holding a meeting and emphasizing policies, Duke had nothing to do in the Union Tower, because most of the specific chores could be left to the staff.
The arcane mage who serves as the chief of the five towers has enough strength to ensure that there is no need for too much intrigue and internal friction, so the program execution is simpler and more efficient.
With Duke's order, the entire Cuihai City will move quickly, and no one will act against it.
Even if you encounter obstacles, you can still hold an academic exchange, where several arcane mages can exchange academic knowledge and even conduct practical exercises.
To determine who has the final right to interpret something.
After leaving the Union Tower, Duke went to his own Duke Sage Mage Tower. He did not immediately invest in the experiment, but patrolled the Mage Tower.
Mainly inspecting laboratories on all floors.
The sixteenth to thirty-fifth floors are open laboratory floors. Many companies have already set up experimental teams. Using the platform of Duke Sage Mage Tower, they contribute resources and manpower to design and develop products for their own companies.
Among them, the company with the largest number of experimental teams is the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company, which occupies four floors and has more than a dozen experimental teams.
"Sir, this is our newly developed car headlight. Based on the strong light technology, it has been upgraded with a new energy supply system and light-concentrating materials..." The person in charge of the laboratory introduced respectfully next to Duke. with experimental products.
Giant of Light produces more and more types of spiritual instruments. Of course, its main business is still lamps, ranging from household lighting, to road lighting, to vehicle lighting.
After a round of inspection, Duke went to another laboratory.
The experimental teams of several companies have stayed here, one of which is called "Wanling Medical Equipment Company", which is a company invested and established by Shanfeisi.
Specializing in the production of various medical devices and medical artifacts.
At this time, Shanfisi is here, discussing and researching a certain new type of medical equipment with the experimental team - he is also an assistant professor at the Duke Sage Mage Tower. Basically, the hospital and the Mage Tower are two points and one line, and you can often see them.
"Sir, you are here." Shanfisi was not surprised at all that Duke came to inspect.
"How about it? The ultrasonic diagnostic and treatment equipment hasn't been finalized yet?" Duke knew the experimental research here very well.
The reason is simple. It was him who provided the idea for the Wanling Medical Equipment Company founded by Shanfeisi.
"We have thoroughly understood the technical principles, and have entrusted the Giant of Light to help us customize several sets of prototype equipment, and are currently adjusting the parameters." Shanfeisi is much calmer than before, "When everything is adjusted, we will Officially finalized production."
"It's right to be cautious about medical equipment." Duke nodded.
After chatting casually with Shanfeis about the application of ultrasound, he left the laboratory under the watch of Shanfeis.
He then continued to inspect the new laboratories and felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched these experimental teams, large and small, developing various technologies and equipment.
There is no other reason.
These technologies are basically provided by him. He has a professional experimental team in the Mage Tower, which is responsible for studying the various inspirations he provides and transforming them into feasible technologies.
After the technology is patented, we will support some small companies through technology investment to focus on the research and development of a technology.
What kind of ultrasonic technology, what kind of washing machine technology, what kind of vacuum cleaner technology, what kind of motorcycle technology... the list goes on.
Whatever Duke wants to acquire but feels does not have much value—too much value means that it can be compared with film and television technology—Duke will do a little research on these technologies, register a patent, and promote them to the market.
"Duke's Sage Mage Tower is a technology incubation center." Looking at the busy researchers in the laboratory, Duke was very excited.
He wants to move this world from the era of grand arcane magic to the era of subtle spirituality.
A scientific and technological revolution belonging to the spiritual arcana began from this newly built mage tower and flourished together with this new city.
"Chief Consul!"
While Duke was daydreaming, a voice brought him back to reality. It was a middle-aged 2nd level arcane mage, Bolette Wind Snake.
He is a member of the Boyton Wind Snake clan. He moved to Cuihai City with the Wind Snake family. He currently works in the Erudite Tower. He also accepted the recruitment of the Duke Sage Mage Tower and was hired as an associate professor, mainly studying the field of puppets.
Duke nodded calmly: "Sir Bolette."
"My clan uncle, Chief Director Boyton Wind Snake, would like to visit you to discuss some private matters." "
Okay, let him make an appointment."
The appointment was scheduled for the next day. Boyton Wind Snake came to Duke's Sage Mage Tower, visited Duke, and brought Bolette Wind Snake with him.
"That's right, Lord Duke." Boyton Wind Snake said with a smile, "Some time ago, you entrusted your entourage to register a motorcycle technology patent. Our Wind Snake family is very interested in this technology and would like to discuss it with you. Let's talk about cooperation."
"Does the Wind Snake family also like motorcycle technology?" Duke was not surprised by this, but said, "The Black Jade family also contacted me before and wanted to buy motorcycle technology."
Seven The Tower Federation already has cars, and even shuttles, as well as large transportation vehicles such as black beetles and black centipedes.
And there is also a simple means of transportation such as bicycles.
But only motorcycles have not yet appeared, nor have tricycles. For these two technologies, Duke has asked the experimental team to develop them and register patents.
"The Black Jade Family is also interested in motorcycle technology?" Boyton nodded and then said, "I am going to communicate with Bernoulli in person. If possible, the Wind Snake Family hopes to purchase motorcycle technology. Maybe the Black Jade Family You can choose tricycle technology."
"You two families will discuss this matter first." Duke was noncommittal.
Although he looked down on Bernoulli, the Black Jade family had already taken root in Cuihai City, and as the chief executive of the Union Tower, he still had a tolerant heart.
It's all little things.
After he nodded, he handed over the matter to a professional team to discuss patent fees, follow-up technical guidance and other issues.
As for himself, he went to the Keyston Wizard Tower.
Christian Fury celebrated his 195th birthday and entertained many guests, but the small garden on the top floor only entertained a few Grand Arcana mages.
"It's not a good thing that the new prophet this time ended up with a loss of votes." Christiansen ate longevity noodles and comforted Duke, "You are too young after all. It would be safer to lie dormant for a few years to lay a solid foundation." A route."
"Lord Christian, don't worry about me, I haven't been affected in any way." Duke smiled.
Williams said: "It is certain that Duke Sage will become a prophet. It is not a big deal if it is delayed ten or twenty years." "
Yes, the development momentum of the Brand Ring is too fierce. This time, the time is too short. Only one year is too much, and the adults in the Holy City find it difficult to accept it. Wait until ten years from now, and no one will be able to stop Sage Duke." Stephen Yihu agreed.
After the birthday party was over, Duke took Kiliya to the observatory to watch the stars.
First they counted the stars, and then they counted the moles on their bodies. After counting, they were panting and sweating profusely, and then they hugged each other and whispered.
"Are you feeling better?" Kilia asked with a rosy face, blinking her big eyes.
"What do you mean?" Duke didn't react for a moment.
"I see a gloomy look in your eyes. Is it because of the recruitment of the chief sage of Offata?"
Duke smiled and said, "How could it be possible? You guessed wrong."
"Why is that?"
"It's because I encountered some difficulties in the ring replication material. I have roughly cracked the cast of the projection ring, but there is still a key point that cannot be broken." Duke said briefly, "If If you can't figure this out, the whole research will be in vain." "
Actually, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. The research of spiritual arcana does not happen overnight, and you are already better than many arcane teachers in the exploration of spiritual arcana. I performed even better."
"I know it too, so I'm not impatient. I'm just stuck on a problem, and there's always some entanglement." "
I thought of a good way to solve it." Kiriya raised her head and looked up. Duke's face, "Can you guess what it is?"
Duke thought for a while: "Looking at a phantom?"
"Correct!" Kilia smiled brightly, "You can guess whatever I think, this is called What's that, you told me before?"
"It makes sense." Duke replied casually.
The next moment, the whole person paused, as if he thought of something, and was in a daze.
Kylia in her arms also seemed to understand that Duke had encountered an epiphany, so she lay quietly in his arms without making a sound, just quietly admiring the lines on Duke's face.
Duke's face has not changed much from the first time we met six years ago. He still has a face between a boy and a young man.
The lines on the face are neither too strong nor too soft, giving the first impression of elegance.
After that, the more I use it, the more handsome I feel. Especially the lip line is particularly beautiful, the curvature is just right, and the thickness is just right.
The most profound thing is a pair of eyes, which are like the finishing touch, instantly sublimating the entire handsome face to a noble and elegant temperament.
No matter how many times I have seen it, I will never find this face greasy.
For a moment, Kiria wished that the whole world would stop and only she and Duke would remain quietly unchanged.
But soon, Duke came back to his senses from his trance, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and he said in an encouraging tone: "It makes sense, Kilia, you helped me a lot, I finally know how to solve it" It's time to open it!"
Then he stood up impatiently and said, "I'll take you back first. I have to rush back to the laboratory immediately. If I don't untie it, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
He sent Kilia away who was feeling lost. Returning to Master Keystone Tower, Duke took his Phantom airship directly and rushed back to Lingya Mountain overnight.
Go straight to the laboratory.
"Xiao Yi, have you completed the verification?" Before others arrived at the laboratory, the theoretical analysis had already been handed over to Xiao Yi to perform.
"The verification progress is 86% and is about to be completed. Please wait a moment, Master." "
I'm not in a hurry. I've been waiting for so long, why can't I wait a few minutes?" Duke poured himself a glass of water. When he was doing the experiment, He likes people to disturb him, even Mulali and Mulashan are rarely allowed in.
He took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
Duke began to play with the instruments on the test bench. The largest instrument in this exclusive laboratory was a highly restored replica ring.
The replica is Duke's own ring, which is made using arcane weapon refining techniques. It can be said that it is a true replica ring.
It's just that Duke can't locate its existence, so he can't use the ring of projection to condense the clones like the Great Ao Mage.
"There is a clear connection between the two minds!"
Duke walked to the replica ring and stroked this quasi-arcane weapon, which had strong spiritual power emanating from it.
The biggest difference between arcane weapons and spiritual weapons is that arcane weapons can transform from reality to illusion driven by spiritual energy. If an instrument has only a partial structure or partial effect that can transform from real to illusory, then it is a quasi-arcane weapon.
In the testing room of the Magical Spirit Tower, the instrument that can map the situation of the spiritual sea is a quasi-arcane instrument.
The arcane projection rooms in each tower are instruments that can condense temporary projection clones for the arcane mage. They are also quasi-arcane weapons.
The replica ring in front of me can also be called a quasi-arcane weapon.
"Originally, I never knew how to overcome the fog of spiritual arcana and directly locate the copy ring. I only thought of this after I received an unexpected reminder from Kiriya today... It made sense. I can't locate the copy ring. Because of one-way positioning!"
While waiting for Xiaoyi to verify the theory, he thought carefully in his mind: "This is like two people meeting, both blindfolded, and they will definitely not be able to find each other. The fog of spiritual arcana cannot be cleared away, This blindfold cannot be removed."
However, the eyes cannot be seen, as well as the ears and mouth.
The two of them called each other together, and following the sound, they could naturally locate each other's location, and then ran in both directions.
As long as you think about each other, you can always find a solution. Even if you are blind, you still have your mouth and ears, and you can even touch each other while holding on to the wall. This is the inspiration of the connection between hearts.
"If the theoretical verification is passed, I only need to add something to the replication ring... what should I add?" Duke stroked his replication ring and already thought of what to add, "Contract, add a little contract to it, and it will be the best." Good solution!"
Society can develop steadily and arcane mages can live in harmony. Of course, there are institutional reasons for the Seven Towers Federation, but another big reason is the contract.
The contract constrains the behavioral rules of the public and avoids various contradictions caused by the imbalance of power.
Under the conclusion of the contract, it cooperates with the system of the Seven Towers Federation.
Even arcane mages cannot kill people at will, and it is even more difficult for them to attack each other, thus ensuring that the power of spiritual arcana will not lose its restraint.
The power of the contract is probably the most miraculous spiritual power. No matter they are hundreds of millions of miles apart, the power of the contract will act on both parties at the same time. The connection between the two parties cannot be broken until the contract is completed.
"So, by adding a contract ring to the copy ring, you can become an ordinary arcane mage, and you can also have a tact with the copy ring!" Duke touched his chin again: "This is the spiritual arcana, in
all fields They are not independent, but involved with each other. You have me, and I have you."
Just as he was thinking.
Xiao Yi's voice rang out: "Master, we have successfully verified the theory of 'telepathy and communication' proposed by you. By adding active positioning to the copy ring, it can produce substantial echoes with the rings of ordinary arcane mage, thus performing Ring of projection."
"Beautiful!" Duke snapped his fingers.
If the theory is feasible, then the next step is to transform the theory into reality.
With Xiaoyi's assistance, Duke immediately formulated a complete set of experimental procedures. Suktala had already led the team and conducted many related material experiments, which could be integrated together.
After formulating the experimental procedures, it was almost early in the morning.
Duke did not rush to wake up Suktara. Instead, he went back to rest first and regain his energy before going to see Suktara the next morning.
"Teacher, I need your help."
"There's no need to be polite to the teacher. If you need anything from the teacher, just tell me." Suktara said gently.
Then he comforted softly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter whether you fail or not, just try your best to copy the materials. You are still so young and have already received the recommendation vote of the prophet candidate. The teacher believes that you will become a prophet sooner or later. Great prophet."
"I have no pressure." Duke showed a bright smile, "In fact, I had inspiration yesterday and have solved the biggest obstacle to replicating materials." "What?"
Suktara was stunned, " What did you say?"
"What controls the direction of the ring's copying of materials is not the material itself, but the casting conditions of the projection ring. The progress of materials cannot cover up the lack of casting conditions, and now I have basically made up for the missing casting conditions. The conditions are just waiting for the materials to be in place."
"Is this... is this true?" Even though Suktala had been used to seeing strong winds and waves in her life, she was so excited that she started to stutter.
It wasn't that she didn't believe what Duke said, but she couldn't believe that a problem that had troubled her for half her life was actually solved.
Duke's tone was firm and his smile was confident: "The theory can't be wrong, it just needs to be practiced."
"Phew!"
Suktara took a long breath and clenched his fists to steady himself: "We Let's go to the laboratory first."
"Teacher, please." Duke took Suktara to the exclusive laboratory.
Pointing to his own copy ring, he elaborated on his theory: "Based on the existing materials, integrating a contract ring inside the copy ring is the core of this new technology. At the same time, in our spiritual sea In order to ensure the success of the spell, a contract ring must also be added to lock each other with the contract rings."
"Add a contract ring?" Suktara thought quickly.
She is a veteran level 3 arcane mage. Although she only has the title of alchemist, she does not have certain attainments in the contract field.
As people live longer, the things they study become more complicated.
Soon, she nodded solemnly and said: "It is indeed feasible. The ring of contract is a spiritual power between reality and reality. Using arcane weapons, a contract is made to form a contract between the replica ring and the caster. With a contract, you can span the physical and spiritual seas!"
"Yes." Duke said, "Since the teacher agrees, let's start the experiment and try to refine a contract that can match the replication ring as soon as possible." "Okay,
you Come take the lead, and the teacher will help you." Suktara rolled up her sleeves, swept away her previous lazy attitude, and returned to her previous vigorous and resolute attitude.
The teacher and student were busy working in the exclusive laboratory for nearly half a month.
After all, theory is just theory. If you want to turn theory into reality, there are many problems that need to be solved. But as long as the theory is correct, all problems can be solved in the end.
"There must be a solution to the spiritual arcana!"
Duke stood in front of the finished copy ring, his heart was surging and he was full of ambition, thinking about the failure to add prophets half a month ago.
Among the reasons given by the prophets of the Tower of Offa, the most important one is that he is not a great arcane mage and cannot cast the Ring of Projection.
If you can't get away from meetings, you can't get away to promote the development of spiritual arcana.
And now.
The 3-ring arcane mage will soon be able to go to a clone thousands of miles away for a meeting.
"It's winter before you know it." Suktala glanced out the window. The cold wind from the south was blowing, and everything was already depressed.
"Yes, it's winter." Duke responded.
Suktara glanced at his most proud student, then at the replica ring on the experimental table, and couldn't help but said: "Let's experiment, Duke, it's time to verify the results of our research. If it succeeds, the teacher will die in peace." ”
"Teacher, you are talking nonsense again." Duke said with a smile, "During this period, I can feel that teacher, you have already pried into the fog of spiritual arcana." "It's just a little peek. Thanks to
this After a period of research, I have slightly increased my understanding of spiritual arcana, but I am still far from clearing the fog of spiritual arcana." Suktara shook his head, and his self-awareness was very clear.
Duke said: "Not necessarily. When this technology is announced, teacher, you will receive a lot of spiritual feedback to help you break through the fog of spiritual arcana!" "I have only done a little work on this technology
. "
No, teacher, what you did is not just a little bit. Although I have studied the key points thoroughly, in the end, I completed it based on your work." Duke sighed, "Spirituality will guide everything, and it will judge you, teacher." How much spiritual feedback should there be?"
Suktara smiled slightly and stopped talking about the topic. He just urged: "Verify it, kid."
"Okay!"
Duke looked at the copy ring in front of him and began to cast it without hesitation. Ring of Projection - The Ring of Projection is just a technique, similar to releasing the arcane. The real key is the response of the copying ring.
Suktara glanced at Duke.
Then he stared at the replicating ring on the test stand, holding his breath, not daring to take a big breath for fear of disturbing Duke.
destroyed the experimental results.
