Chapter 279 Conversation

  Flow votes, in this year’s Supplementary Prophet Work, no candidate directly received half of the recommendation votes.

   There is not even a candidate, and one-third of the recommended votes are received, and the forced push mode is turned on.

  So it is a direct flow ticket.

   "It's okay if there are no votes, at least there are no new prophets." Duke is quite acceptable to this result.

  He was not selected because his qualifications and strength were too shallow, not because of insufficient achievements.

  But if someone else is selected, but he loses, it will appear that the branded ring he invented is not shocking enough. Otherwise, relying on the achievement of the Ring of Branding, it is impossible for this supplementary prophet to surpass him no matter what.

   "Sir, are you supplementing the Prophet's notice?" Mu Lali asked in a low voice, twisting the water snake's waist.

   "Yes, the votes have passed. There are no new prophets added this year." Duke casually threw the documents back on the table, disappointed indeed, because after all, he had hoped before.

  But the result has been decided, but he was relieved, and he didn't need to be distracted to add to the prophet, but the whole person's state became more concentrated.

  You can focus more on the current affairs at hand.

  Thanks to his talent policy, the population of Cuihai City has exceeded 800,000 in just over a year.

   An increase of about three hundred thousand.

  Most of them are ordinary people who migrated from other cities. Because Duke promised to pay round-trip tickets, board and lodging, 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 is the chief executive of the United Towers of 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 being displaced and travel thousands of miles to live in an unfamiliar area.

   "Public security must continue to be strengthened to further curb the crime rate, especially homicides. I will set a new internal rule for you, that is-homicides 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 **** mercenary regiment, most urban areas and market towns are relatively safe, and there are very few murders and major cases.

  In particular, the Seven Towers Federation has strict control over human experiments, which further curbs the space for arcanists to kill people. If there is no such policy, it is estimated that arcanists would not be able to treat ordinary people as human beings in order to study human experiments.

  Soul experiments and human experiments are taboos in the Seven Towers Federation.

   This is the inspiration obtained from the dreams of the stars, accepted by the High Tower of Arcana, and formulated as the law of the Seven Towers Federation.

   "Follow your lord's order." The internal director of the United Tower, a 2-ring arcane mage, quickly responded.

   Hold a meeting and emphasize the policy, and Duke will have nothing to do in the Union Tower, because most of the specific trivial matters can be handed over to the staff.

  The arcanist, who is the chief of the five towers, has enough strength in himself to ensure that there is no need for too much intrigue and internal friction, so the program is executed more concisely and efficiently.

  Duke's order will cause the entire Cuihai City to run quickly, and no one will obey the yin and yang.

  Even if you encounter obstacles, you can hold an academic exchange, where several arcane mages exchange academic knowledge and even conduct actual combat exercises.

   To determine who owns the final interpretation of something.

  After leaving the Union Tower, Duke went to his own Duke Sage Mage Tower. Instead of immediately putting himself into the experiment, he went around the Mage Tower.

   Mainly inspect the laboratories on each floor.

  The sixteenth to thirty-fifth floors are the open laboratory floors. Many companies have already settled in the experimental team. With the help of the Duke Sage Mage Tower, they contribute resources and manpower to design and develop products for their own companies.

  Among them, the Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company has the most experimental teams. It occupies four floors and has more than a dozen experimental teams.

"My lord, this is our newly developed car headlight. On the basis of strong light technology, we have upgraded a new energy supply system and light-concentrating materials..." The head of the laboratory, beside Duke, respectfully introduced Experimental product.

  Giant of Light produces more and more types of spiritual tools. Of course, the main business is still lamps, from household lighting, to road lighting, to vehicle lighting, everything.

   After looking around, Duke went to another laboratory.

  The experimental teams of several companies stayed here, and one of them was called "Wan Ling Medical Devices Company", which was invested and established by Sanfis.

  Specialize in the production of various medical devices, as well as medical spiritual instruments.

  Sanfis is here at this time, discussing and researching with the experimental team, a new type of medical equipment - he is also an assistant professor at the Duke Sage's Mage Tower, basically the hospital and the Mage Tower are two points and one line, and you can often see it.

   "My lord, you are here." Sanfis was not surprised that Duke came to inspect.

   "How is it? Ultrasonic diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, hasn't it been finalized yet?" Duke knows the experimental research here very well.

  The reason is very simple. The Wanling Medical Devices Company founded by Shan Feisi was the idea provided by him.

"We have a thorough understanding of the technical principles, and also entrusted the Giant of Light to help us customize several sets of prototype equipment, and are currently adjusting the parameters." Sanfis is much more calm than before, "When everything is adjusted, then Official finalized production."

   "Medical equipment, it is right to be cautious." Duke nodded.

   He chatted casually with Sanfiz about the application of ultrasound, and then he left the laboratory under the watchful eye of Sanfiz.

   Then he continued to inspect the new laboratory. Seeing these large and small experimental teams developing various technologies and equipment, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

   There is no other reason.

  These technologies are basically provided by him. He has a professional experimental team in the mage tower, responsible for studying the various inspirations he provided and transforming them into feasible technologies.

After    and other technologies are registered as patents, they will support some small companies in the form of technology investment and focus on the research and development of a technology.

  What ultrasonic technology, what washing machine technology, what vacuum cleaner technology, what motorcycle technology...the list goes on.

  Anything Duke wants, but doesn’t think it has too much value—this 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 then promote them to the market.

   "Duke 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 forward from the grand arcane age to the subtle spiritual age.

  A scientific and technological revolution belonging to spiritual arcana started from this newly built mage tower and flourished together with this new city.

   "The Chief Executive!"

  While Duke was daydreaming, a voice pulled him back to reality. It was a middle-aged 2-ring arcanist, Brat Wind Snake.

  He is a member of the Boyton Wind Snake family. He migrated to Cuihai City with the Wind Snake family. He is currently working in the Bo Xue Pagoda. At the same time, he also accepted the recruitment of the Duke Sage Mage Tower and was hired as an associate professor. He mainly studies the field of puppets.

  Duke nodded indifferently: "Your Excellency Brat."

   "My uncle, the chief director of Boyton Wind Snake, wants to visit you and discuss some personal matters."

   "Okay, let him make an appointment."

  About the next day, Boyton Wind Snake came to Duke Sage Mage Tower, visited Duke, and brought Brat Wind Snake with him.

"That's right, Lord Duke." Boyton Wind Snake said with a smile, "You entrusted your entourage some time ago and registered a motorcycle technology patent. Our Wind Snake family is very interested in this technology and would like to talk to you about it. Talk about cooperation."

   "Did the Wind Snake family also take a fancy to motorcycle technology?" Duke was not surprised by this, but said, "The Black Jade family also contacted me before, wanting to buy motorcycle technology."

  The Seven Towers Federation already has cars, and even has shuttles, as well as large vehicles such as black beetle cars and black centipede cars.

   And there is also a simple means of transportation such as a bicycle.

  But only motorcycles and tricycles have not yet appeared. These two technologies have been developed by Duke's experimental team and registered as 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 wants to buy motorcycle technology. Maybe the Black Jade Family There is an option for tricycle technology.”

   "You two families discuss this first." Duke was noncommittal.

  Although he doesn't like Bernoulli, the Black Jade family has already taken root in Cuihai City, and as the chief executive of the United Tower, there is still some tolerance.

   are small things.

  After he nodded, he handed over the matter to a professional team to discuss patent fees and follow-up technical guidance.

   As for himself, went to Keystone Mage Tower.

  Kiston Raging Wave celebrated his 195th birthday and hosted many guests, but the small garden on the top floor only entertained a few great Arcane mages.

"It's not a bad thing to add a prophet this time, but it ended in a failed vote." Kiston ate his birthday noodles and comforted Duke, "After all, you are too young. It is safer to lay a solid foundation for a few years a route."

   "Lord Keyston doesn't have to worry about me, I haven't been affected in any way." Duke laughed.

  Williams said: "It is certain that Duke's sage will become a prophet, and it is not a big deal if he is ten or twenty years late."

"Yeah, the development momentum of the Ring of Branding is too fierce. This time, the time is too short, only one year is too much, and the adults in the holy city can't accept it. Wait until ten years later, no one will be able to stop the sage Duke Already." Stephen Maverick echoed.

  After the birthday banquet was over, Duke took Kylia to the observatory to watch the stars.

  First counting the stars, and then counting the number of moles on the body after counting, they were panting and sweating profusely, and then hugged and whispered.

   "Are you better?" Kylia asked with a ruddy face, blinking her big eyes.

   "What do you mean?" Duke didn't react for a while.

   "I saw the gloomy look in your eyes, is it because of the addition of the chief sage of Offata this time?"

  Duke smiled and said, "Why, you guessed wrong."

"why?"

"It's because I encountered a little problem with the copying material of the ring. I have roughly cracked the casting of the ring of projection, but there is still a critical point that can't be broken." Duke said simply, "If If this point cannot be solved, the whole research is wasted.”

   "Actually, you don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. The study of spiritual mysteries does not happen overnight, and you have performed better than many masters of spiritual mysteries in the exploration of spiritual mysteries."

   "I know it too, so I'm not in a hurry. I'm just stuck with a problem, and there will always be some entanglements."

   "I thought of a good solution." Kylia looked up at Duke's face, "Can you guess what it is?"

  Duke thought for a while: "Watching a phantom?"

   "Correct answer!" Kylia smiled brightly, "You can guess everything I think, what is it called, you told me before?"

   "It's a good idea." Duke replied casually.

  The next moment, the whole person stopped, as if thinking of something, and was in a daze.

  Kilia in his 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 of Duke's face.

  Duke's face hasn't changed much from when he first met six years ago. It's still a face between a teenager and a young man.

  The lines of the face are neither too hard nor too soft, and the first impression is delicate.

  After that, the more you taste, the more handsome you feel, especially the lip line is very beautiful, the curvature is just right, and the thickness is just right.

  The deepest thing is a pair of eyes, like the finishing touch, which instantly sublimates the whole handsome face into a noble and elegant temperament.

   No matter how many times I have seen it, I will not feel that this face is greasy.

  In an instant, Kylia wished the whole world would stop, leaving only her and Duke, quietly remaining the same.

But soon, Duke came back from the trance, his eyes seemed to be shining, and he said in an uplifting tone: "I have a clear understanding, Kiria, you have helped me a lot, and I finally know how to solve it." Open that spot!"

   Immediately got 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!"

   Sending Kylia, who was lost, back to the Master Tower of Keyston, Duke directly boarded his airship Phantom and rushed back to Lingya Mountain overnight.

   Go straight to the laboratory.

   "Xiao Yi, have you completed the verification?" Before others arrived in the laboratory, the theoretical analysis that should have been carried out by Xiao Yi had already been carried out.

   "The verification progress is 86%, and it is about to be completed. Please wait a moment, master."

"I'm not in a hurry. After waiting for so long, can't I wait for these few minutes?" Duke poured himself a glass of water. When he was doing experiments, he didn't like to be disturbed by others, even Mu Lali and Mu Lashan. are rarely allowed in.

   took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

  Duke began to fiddle with the instruments on the test bench. In this exclusive laboratory, the largest piece of equipment is a highly restored replica ring.

   What was duplicated was Duke's own ring, and it was forged with the refining method of arcane weapons. It can be said that it is a real duplicated ring.

   It's just that Duke can't locate its existence, so he can't use the ring of projection to condense the clone like the great arcane mage.

"Minds think alike!"

  Duke walked up to the replica ring, and stroked this quasi-arcane weapon, with strong spiritual power radiating from it.

  The biggest difference between an arcane weapon and a spiritual weapon is that an arcane weapon can transform from reality to illusion under the drive of psionic energy. If a piece of equipment has only part of its structure or part of its effect, and can transform from reality to illusion, then it is a quasi-arcane weapon.

  In the testing room of Faling Pagoda, the instrument that can map the situation of Linghai is a quasi-arcane weapon.

  The arcane projection room in each tower is an instrument that can condense temporary projection clones for great arcane mages, and it is also a quasi-arcane weapon.

  The replica ring in front of you can also be called a quasi-arcane weapon.

"Originally, I didn't know how to get past the fog of spiritual mysteries and locate directly with the replication ring. Today, I got an unexpected reminder from Kylia, and I thought of this... I have a good understanding. I can't locate the replication ring because One-way positioning!"

While waiting for Xiaoyi to verify the theory, he thought about it carefully: "It's like two people meeting each other. Both of them are blindfolded. They will definitely not be able to find each other. The fog of spiritual mysteries cannot be cleared away, and this blindfold cannot Uncover."

  However, the eyes cannot see, and there are ears and mouths.

  The two call each other together, follow the sound, and then they can locate each other's position naturally, and then run in both directions.

  As long as you think about each other, you can always find a solution. If you are blind, you still have your mouth and ears, and you can touch each other even while leaning on the wall.

"If the theoretical verification is passed, I just need to add something to the replication ring... What to add?" Duke stroked his replication ring, already thinking of what to add, "Contract, add a little contract to it, it's the best solution!"

  Society can develop steadily, and arcanists can live in harmony among themselves. Of course, there are institutional reasons for the Seven Towers Federation, but there is also a big reason for the contract.

  The contract constrains the behavior rules of the public, so as to avoid various contradictions due to the imbalance of power.

  Under the conclusion of the contract, cooperate with the system of the Seven Towers Federation.

   Even arcane mages cannot kill at will, and it is even more difficult to attack and kill each other, so as to ensure that the power of spiritual arcane magic will not lose its restraint.

  The power of the contract is probably the most magical kind of spiritual power. No matter how far away hundreds of millions of miles are, the power of the contract will act on both parties at the same time. The connection of the power of the contract cannot be broken until the contract is completed.

   "So, in the copying ring, add a contract ring, you can become an ordinary arcane mage, and you can also have a tacit understanding with the copying ring!"

  Duke touched his chin again: "This is the spiritual mystery. The various fields are not independent, but intertwined. There is me in you, and you in me."

   Just as he was thinking.

Xiaoyi's voice sounded: "Master, you have successfully verified the theory of 'Mind Consonance Yitong' proposed by you. By adding active positioning to the copy ring, it can produce a substantial echo with the ring of ordinary arcanists, thus displaying Ring of projection."

   "Pretty!" Duke snapped his fingers.

  The theory is practical, so the next step is to transform the theory into reality.

   With the assistance of Xiaoyi, Duke immediately formulated a whole set of experimental procedures. Before that, Suktara had led a team to do a lot of related material tests, which could be integrated together.

   The experimental procedure has been formulated, and the time is approaching the early morning.

  Duke was not in a hurry to wake up Suktara, but went back to rest first, and after recovering enough energy, he went to see Suktara the next morning.

   "Teacher, I need your help."

   "Why are you being polite to the teacher? If there is anything that needs to be done by the teacher, just ask." Suktara said gently.

Then he softly comforted: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whether you fail or not, try your best to copy the materials. You are still so young, and you have already received a recommendation ticket for a prophet candidate. The teacher believes that you will become a prophet sooner or later. great prophet."

   "I'm not under pressure." Duke showed a bright smile, "I actually had an inspiration yesterday, and I have already solved the biggest obstacle in ring copying materials."

   "What?" Suktara was stunned, "What did you say?"

"It is not the material itself that restricts the ring to copy the material, but the casting conditions of the ring of projection. The improvement of materials cannot cover up the lack of casting conditions, and now I have basically made up for the missing casting conditions, just waiting for the materials Take your place."

   "Is this... is this true?" Rao Suktara was used to seeing strong winds and waves all his life, and at this moment he was also a little excited and stammered.

  It wasn't that she didn't believe what Duke said, but she couldn't believe that a problem that had plagued her for half her life was actually solved.

  Duke's tone is firm, with a confident smile: "The theory is never wrong, the only thing left is practice."

   "Huh!"

  Suktara let out a long breath, squeezed his fist hard, and then stabilized his mind: "Let's go to the laboratory first."

   "Teacher, please." Duke took Suktara to the exclusive laboratory.

Pointing to his copying ring, he elaborated on his theory: "Based on the existing materials, it is the core of this new technology to integrate a ring of contract inside the copying ring. At the same time, in our spiritual sea In order to ensure the success of the spellcasting, a ring of contract is also added, and the ring of contract is locked to each other."

   "Add the ring of contract?" Suktara thought quickly.

  She is an old-fashioned third-ring arcane mage. Although she only has the title of alchemist, she does not have certain attainments in the field of contracts.

   People live for a long time, and the things they study are very complicated.

Soon, she nodded solemnly and said: "It is indeed feasible. The ring of contract is a spiritual force between reality and reality. Using the means of arcane weapons, a contract is made to make the copy ring and the caster conclude a contract." The contract can straddle the physical and spiritual seas!"

   "Not bad." Duke said, "Since the teacher agrees, let's start the experiment and try to refine the contract that can match the replication ring as soon as possible."

   "Okay, you take the lead, and the teacher will help you." Suktara rolled up his sleeves, swept away the previous lazy posture, and returned to the previous vigorous and vigorous.

  The teacher and the student were busy in the exclusive laboratory for nearly half a month.

  Theory is just theory after all, and there are many problems that need to be solved in order to turn theory into reality, but as long as the theory is correct, all problems can be solved in the end.

   "Spiritual mysteries must have a solution!"

  Duke stood in front of the completed replica ring, full of excitement and ambition, thinking of the failure of adding the Prophet half a month ago.

  The prophets of Offata, among the reasons given, the most important point is that he is not a great arcane mage and cannot cast the ring of projection.

  If you can't get away from the meeting, you will naturally be unable to get out to promote the development of spiritual mysteries.

   And now.

  3 Arcane Mage, will be able to go to the clone meeting thousands of miles away soon.

   "Before you know it, it's winter." Suktara glanced out the window, the cold wind blowing from the south, everything was already depressed.

   "Yes, it's winter." Duke replied.

Suktara glanced at his most proud student, then at the replication ring on the experimental table, and couldn't help but say, "Let's experiment, Duke, it's time to verify the results of our research. If it succeeds, the teacher will die in peace." gone."

   "Teacher, you are talking nonsense again." Duke said with a smile, "During this period of time, I can feel that Teacher, you have already peeked into the fog of spiritual mysteries."

"It's just a glimpse. Thanks to the research during this period, I have slightly increased my understanding of spiritual mysteries, but it is still far from clearing the fog of spiritual mysteries." Suktara shook his head , Self-awareness is very clear.

  Duke said: "Not necessarily, when this technology is announced, you will receive a lot of spiritual feedback, teacher, to help you break through the fog of spiritual mystery!"

   "I've only worked a little bit on this technology."

"No, teacher, you didn't do a little bit. Although I have studied the key points thoroughly, I finally completed it on the basis of your work." Duke sighed, "Spirituality will guide everything, and it will judge what you should do, teacher. How much spiritual feedback there is."

  Suktara smiled slightly, and stopped talking about this topic, but urged: "Verify it, child."

"good!"

  Duke looked at the copying ring in front of him, and without hesitation began to cast the ring of projection—the ring of projection is just a technique, similar to releasing arcane spells. The real key is the response of the copying ring.

   Suktara glanced at Duke.

  So he fixed his eyes on the replica ring on the test bench, held his breath, and didn't dare to take a big breath, for fear of disturbing Duke.

   destroys the experimental results.

   Looking for tickets~
