Login with GoogleChapter 113 The sky of the die-hards has collapsed
Roger is watching the demonstration of the alchemists.
The iron box didn't have any magical fluctuations, but it actually recorded the sound, and then played it back.
Frankenstein opened the iron box and took out the core components, "This is a recording disc made of a variety of materials, which will produce specific depressions under the physical impact, and then use a pointer to scratch the depression to restore the vibration amplitude of the sound. Continuous playback records the sound."
Roger looked at the black recording disc, it was not big, the track recorded was denser, and it was rewritable...
Isn't this a gramophone that can read disks?
It's just that they use alchemy materials with higher strength and properties in the Evernight world than on Earth, but the basic principles should be similar.
Roger is not sure.
After all, he's just a game-up master, not a tech nerd, and he hasn't started to study it, which is an invention of the last century.
He did catch up with the Walkman, and he played with tapes.
"What is the driving force of this device?" Roger asked curiously.
"It's the interaction of the two-element pools, which produces electricity spells, and then drives these structures. After using the magic to charge, it can work continuously for ten hours." Frankenstein admired the blurred brilliance in his eyes.
Roger personally started to operate this iron box, which is not very subtle, recording and playback, very simple functions.
There are no other bells and whistles, but it's enough to make him amazed by the magician's creativity.
It's only been a week since "New Arcane" was published, and the genius alchemist has already broken through electricity and created a phonograph.
There must be an advantage of learning from knowing magic and understanding the rules of the origin of the world, and it doesn't involve those delicate integrated circuits.
A technological device with a simple structure should be as simple as eating and drinking for an alchemist who can engrave countless magic circles on a small amulet.
To make a gramophone, perhaps it should be said that the basics.
But seeing this iron box also lifted Roger's spirits, feeling that he might need to re-evaluate the potential of magical civilization.
It seems that they only need to open a window for these magicians, and their genius and research spirit can directly knock down the entire wall.
The magical civilization in this world has accumulated for tens of thousands of years, and it has reached an extremely subtle and profound level.
The power it has accumulated is as strong as a volcano, and it has long been able to cause catastrophic changes.
It was only because he was suppressed by the gods and bound by the world that he didn't take the step of changing the world and producing a super civilization like the Arcane Empire.
The unity and prosperity of the Eternal Night Empire built this foundation.
"New Arcane" liberates the magicians from the shackles of thinking, and they take the road of industrialization from a high place. In the early stage, they should be able to burst out more terrifying energy than the two industrial revolutions on the earth.
Roger imagined a bright future, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that all the magicians in the dharma meeting were staring at him, with vague expectations in their eyes, like children waiting to be praised.
It was only then that he realized that, as the chief proponent of magic industrialization, although his strength was terrible, he already had a certain appeal among some magician groups.
Because of the ideas he put forward, to a certain extent, have also become the spiritual leader of the Arcane School, one of the authority and power.
So his suggestion is also an important affirmation for these alchemists?
Thinking of this, Roger cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Although there are differences in structure, functionally, it can be called the tape recorder I described."
"Thank you Sir Charles for your verification. It seems that you predicted that using non-magical power to interfere with reality is a feasible way!"
Frankenstein's eyes shone brightly.
The magicians headed by her bowed to Roger with undisguised respect and admiration in their eyes.
As a master alchemist, she admires this little device.
It doesn't have the function of destroying the world, but by using various means that don't involve magic, it has achieved things that were thought of only by magic in the past.
Such a device, Roger "prophesied" in "New Arcane", he boldly said that many of the work of magicians can now be done by making suitable tools and replacing them with ordinary people.
A true magician should free himself from war and manufacturing, and devote his energy to constantly exploring more unknown areas.
Frankenstein is skeptical of such claims, but she likes the future Roger describes.
Because isn't making those "suitable tools" not the full-time job of an alchemist?
If so, then one day the status of alchemists will be greatly improved.
It's just that, like other magicians, because of the convenience of magic, she is accustomed to magic as the only solution to achieve extraordinariness. She is not sure whether ordinary people can complete the work of magicians.
Now, this recording device has successfully revealed the possibility of this road.
Roger was a little ashamed. What kind of prophecy is that? It's just the technological road that humans on Earth have already realized.
He secretly glanced at the Eternal Night Queen, who kept smiling and watching, as if she was not dissatisfied with Roger's rising status in the hearts of the magicians, but was rather pleased.
Is this the look of the old mother who wants her son to become a dragon?
However, Roger has realized that as an advocate of "New Arcane", he must also show enough self-confidence to lead more magicians to observe his ideas.
After all, the road ahead will be difficult, complicated, and long-term. The phonograph is just a device with a simple principle. To reproduce the productivity of scientific and technological civilization, the equipment that needs to be manufactured and the gaps that need to be filled in all aspects are as many as stars.
This is not a job that can be completed by an individual, or by any organization. This can only be accomplished by gathering the strength of a country and mobilizing collective strength together.
So in the end, although he felt a little uneasy, Roger calmly accepted the admiration of Frankenstein and others, and learned from the leaders on TV to show a gratifying smile, "The prophecy only provides a possibility. We must thank the Secret Law Society for its efforts to make the idea land and become the reality that changed the Empire."
Hearing this sentence, Frankenstein's expression became strange, and she looked at the Queen of Eternal Night behind him.
The Queen of Eternal Night smiled lightly, "First, there is nothing to hide from Roger, and he will have first-level authority in the chapter of imbalance in the future."
"Recorded." A mechanically cold blue light flashed in Frankenstein's eyes.
Roger suddenly felt a little terrified. This woman's transformation of her body was probably more extreme than outsiders imagined.
Many organs in that beautiful head are probably not original, right?
He couldn't help thinking too much, Frankenstein had already introduced, "The prototype of this tape recorder is not the work of the Secret Law Society, but completed by Dean Hall."
Roger was greatly surprised, "But doesn't he believe in the sacredness and irreplaceability of magic, the leader of the die-hards school? Why did he suddenly make a tape recorder..."
Frankenstein didn't say anything. Dean Hall was a senior, so she couldn't make any casual comments.
The Queen of Eternal Night had a playful smile on her mouth, "The teacher lost a quarrel with someone in the message area. He will use experiments to prove that magic is irreplaceable. theories in "New Arcane" are all nonsense. Then he will send someone to get this tape recorder."
"Then Dean, is he... emotionally stable now?"
"He was in retreat and doubting his life."
The Queen of Eternal Night frowned, trying her best to hold back her laughter.
Hall is a stubborn old man. After teaching and educating people for a long time, he inevitably has a bit of craftsmanship. He must convince people with reason.
He was so angry at the messed up discussion on the message board, after being so eloquent, someone finally left the sentence "You are right, after all, there is magic before heaven", and he felt like vomiting blood when he punched into the air.
He won the quarrel, but he didn't win completely, so he felt very uncomfortable...
So Hall was so angry that he wanted to use experiments to prove that the sanctity of magic was irreplaceable.
In the end, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, but instead, a tape recorder was created, which was considered to have dug up his theoretical foundation with his own hands.
"This... is a very sympathetic encounter." Roger could understand Dean Hall's choice to retreat, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling that fate is a magical thing.
Before the Arcane Sect could exert its strength, the sky of the die-hards Sect collapsed on its own.
Dean Hall broke the defense of Dean Hall, where are you going to reason?
The Queen of Eternal Night didn't continue to struggle with this topic, but asked, "Now, do you think this little thing has any practical use other than proving the feasibility of magic industrialization?"
With the current living standards of Ivy League citizens, ordinary people cannot afford the entertainment means of even things such as tape recorders, while nobles can afford to take pictures with magic.
So this thing seems rather tasteless?
Roger thought about it for a while and found that there was no prosperous music market in this world, and developing the entertainment industry was not their top priority, so it seems that the actual recorder is not big.
No!
Roger said earnestly, "If this recorder can be refitted to be miniaturized, simplified, and even add a radio communication module, maybe it can make outstanding achievements in intelligence work."
The Queen of Eternal Night can also be called a military genius. She knew it right away. She immediately reacted and smiled with great interest, "It's dark under the lights? This is indeed a direction that can be tried."
You must know that "New Arcane" is the most advanced theory at present, and non-magical means achieve the effect of magic. This is a controversial view that even the most cutting-edge magicians cannot accept.
Priests who have been brainwashed by gods are more conservative than magicians and naturally even more unwilling to accept that humans can one day steal the authority of gods.
The undercover agent trained by the gods went to a place to confirm that there were no eavesdropping and peeping methods. They were all detecting magical auras and using various skills to counter prophetic spells.
They would never have thought of a tape recorder, even if they heard of it, they couldn't believe it.
Put it directly on the cabinet to record and eavesdrop, and the spy of the enemy country will not know that he has been exposed.
They subconsciously think that this room has no magical fluctuations, so it is safe.
Or when the two armies fought and the enemy took away an artwork, there was no magic fluctuation on the beautiful statue, and the enemy general kept him in his tent, but he didn't know there was a recording device inside...
Or a small gift from the nightingale, the exquisite jewelry has a wonderful function.
In the past, the Secret Law Society also helped the intelligence department of the empire to create some special equipment and tried every means to reduce the fluctuation of magic and shield the detection magic.
But the investment is huge and the results are very small...
If it is this kind of magical device that can work without using magic at all...
Wonderful!
Spy equipment without magical fluctuations is wonderful!
This is the blind spot of thinking. As long as you follow this road and continue to create recorders, cameras, wireless transmitters, etc., and use them properly, the empire's intelligence work in the future can rely on technological advantages to achieve breakthrough results!
The Queen of Eternal Night just got a new toy, so she restrained Roger's eyes-opening expression, and said solemnly, "Furth, erase the memory of all the people who know about the recorder and set up the fourteenth secret research and development, Roger will serve as a consultant and is in charge of the research and development of this matter."
The queen suddenly burst with her full aura, showing a decisive power beyond the world, suppressing the audience.
Even Roger felt the pressure of being short of breath, so he gave into the pressure and said, "Follow the decree."
The Queen stood up, "I'm going to talk to Dean Hall about confidentiality."
She opened the portal, turned around suddenly, and smiled sweetly, "By the way, Roger, remember to find the souvenir that Furth wants to visit for the first time."
Looking at that pretty face, Roger's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
MD, this scumbag queen is wise and martial one second, and the next she charms all beings, this old man really can't stand it!
The hardest thing in this world is how many faces a beautiful woman can have at the same time.
…
…
About an hour later, Roger and Frankenstein secretly exchanged the zero-magic device he thought might be used for intelligence work, suggested the first version update of the magician's camp, and left the imbalance with his "souvenir".
After Frankenstein's introduction and mastering the usage, Roger knew very well that this was a well-prepared legendary prop, and it was by no means a souvenir for everyone.
On the surface, it looks very inconspicuous. It is a big-headed doll made of gray shadows. It can be hung around the waist. It needs magic power above a low-level magician to drive.
The effect is that the summon is a shadow puppet.
【Shadow puppet: A consciousness carrier compiled by the power of shadow, which can simulate any appearance and inherit certain spellcasting abilities of the main body. It is immune to most anti-magic detections and can resist fatal damage on behalf of the body. 】
To experience this shadow puppet and put your consciousness into it, it feels like an incarnation outside the body.
The shadow puppet has five senses that are almost indistinguishable from the main body. It looks no different from a normal person to the naked eye. At the same time, it can simulate various appearances and shapes. Even with magic, it is difficult to determine that it is not a real person.
And with Roger's mental power, he can concentrate on both, and control the body and the shadow puppet to move at the same time.
Quite embarrassingly, because of its characteristics, the shadow puppet communicates with the shadow plane and has the strength of a high-level wanderer.
Combined with a few fighting talents, it seems to be a bit higher than Roger's actual combat power...
Normally such a shadow puppet will be near-legendary magic, exploring some dangerous areas instead of a magician.
Now the Queen of Eternal Night has ordered the secret magic to solidify it into a prop, and even Roger, who is only a junior magician, can use it. It was specially made for him.
"The real purpose is to let me work for her as Roger and Dior at the same time, right? This is too capitalist!"
Roger suddenly felt that a certain queen was becoming more and more disdainful.
But it doesn't prevent him from thinking that this tool is really useful. As the number of things to be handled increases, it can solve the problem of his lack of skills.
He returned to the ice room as a shadow puppet to continue to preside over the work, while his body came to the military headquarters.
Today there is a "special ceremony" to bid farewell to Tasika.
