January 21, 837.
If we talk about the southern part of the new Moldavia City, we have to say that there are huge factories on the edge of the city, prosperous commercial and trade areas, and the campus of the warrior Department of lindongbao college, "champion College".
Because Moldavia officially owns a complete set of industrial systems, such as [mineral production], [material processing], [light and heavy industry production chain], its production cost is extremely low. A large number of goods produced in magic power factory are directly transported to the business district of Nancheng, which are produced at a very low price, In the hands of enthusiastic businessmen, it can be sold at a sky high price which is more than ten times of its cost.
Even so, for those cities that don't have magic power factories, these products are absolutely inexpensive.
However, if you ask any passer-by about the best places to visit in Nancheng District, no matter who you are, you will not recommend the business district and factories. These local people or foreign businessmen will tell you with one voice that if you don't go to champion college to visit Moldavia, then the journey is absolutely incomplete.
Cities that prosper because of the legendary strongman will naturally develop in the direction that the legendary strongman likes. In addition to factories and magic equipment everywhere, the most popular one is lindongbao college, which is rumored to have been taught by count Radcliffe himself. As a branch of lindongbao college, the champion college is just like this, It has become one of the local landmarks next only to the statue of the giant Lord.
Champion college is the largest building complex in Nancheng District, covering an area of 110000 square meters, and even has a huge underground part. Behind the towering college castle, the training ground and student dormitory are arranged in an orderly way, which are mixed with gardens, fountains and simple self-service medical center, so that every student injured due to competition and training can be treated quickly, And in this luxury college, there are more than 1800 highly trained combat personnel receiving intensive training.
Today, in this well-known college with the aura of legendary and powerful people, countless young people with nervous and expectant faces are welcomed. They are accompanied by their parents, accompanied by their female partners, or alone. However, we can see that these people are more or less aggressive and have some extraordinary power.
This is the first large-scale external enrollment of champion college in 837. The enrollment conditions are very relaxed. As long as the students are younger than 25 years old, pass the political review, or have the recommendation of a specific local person in Moldavia, they will have the possibility to pass the test. Naturally, this has attracted countless young people who are eager to learn under the legend.
And prest is one of them.
Today is the time when Prester took part in the test of lindongbao. This young man, with a rough face and a slightly fierce look, looks very nervous. He stands alone in the crowd, his hands and knees are shaking uncontrollably. This situation is not until he breathes deeply for several times, and then looks at the picture of the girl in the necklace on his chest, It's just getting better.
This is not to blame prest, because he has added too much burden to himself... In order to let his sister Britney Spears live a better life, to live up to the expectations of the factory owner, to reverse his fate as an ordinary person - most importantly, in order to open up his own future, this man will never allow himself to make any mistakes.
"I will succeed."
Despite the strange look in the eyes of the people around him, Prester clenched his fists. He closed his eyes and whispered to himself, "it's nothing difficult. Compared with the beginning, it's just a small scene."
Don't worry, prest. You've fought with dragons, crossed pestilence and death. It's just an ordinary college test. You don't have any reason to lose to these guys who haven't even seen life or death.
When he opens his eyes again, Prester looks at the bustling crowd in front of him. At this time, he has completely calmed down, and he is full of self-confidence again - not only because of the hard work in the past, but also because of Prester's recent efforts. You know, the factory owner, Runde the dwarf, specially gave him a seven day holiday to refresh his energy at home, Exercise and review lessons every day.
Yes, review your lessons. Different from the professional colleges in other places, in lindongbao college, whether it's the Department of casters, the Department of warlords, or the Department of additional clergy, you have to learn a lot of extra knowledge. Literacy is only the foundation. It's said that anyone who can graduate from the college can easily write a thesis of more than 6000 words, even if their combat power is not mentioned, It's more than enough to be a clergyman to some great nobleman.
And it's all because of what Joshua van Radcliffe, the legendary strongman and Lord of Moldavia, said in his new year's speech in 837.
"- we must not despise wisdom or combat. The two complement each other and are the essence of human progress."The dignified man stood on the high platform of the inner city square, with a ferocious black dragon lying on his side. The soldier said to all his people in a calm and low voice that could be clearly heard everywhere: "the country that distinguishes scholars from soldiers only has coward soul and stupid struggle."
Jingle, jingle, just as Prester was still thinking about the scene that made the whole city silent, the bell at the top of the college Castle rang, and a group of tall knights in gray magic armor opened the castle door and began to check the review documents and recommendation letters of each scholar one by one, Prester knew that, The test, which he has been waiting for for for a long time, has officially begun.
"Name, age, occupation, place of birth."
"Priestly omnini, 21, factory worker, empire's southern frontier province."
After quite a long time in line, Prester finally came to the audit office, headed by a scarred gray knight. After a simple question and answer, he took the letter of introduction and read it carefully.
"It's Rand's recommendation... Go in."
After confirming the identity of the factory worker, the gray knight in charge of the inspection showed a slight smile. He patted each other on the shoulder with his heavy steel armor: "come on, I hope you can contribute to the prosperity of Moldavia!"
"Of course!"
Prester clenched the necklace on his chest, which seemed to give him endless motivation. The next moment, he walked to the examination room inside the castle.
——Half a day later.
The tired Prester walked out of the castle gate with a little confused expression.
Success or failure? What I have just experienced, is it fantasy or reality?
Priestley doesn't know about all this, but he has done the best he can.
This test is very new for most of the participants. At the beginning, it is a two-hour written test. In the first half, participants need to answer questions about the basic history and geography of the continent, as well as some simple questions about Warcraft. In this part, Prester, who has reviewed it in detail, writes quickly.
However, the next question is somewhat beyond the outline. It requires the participants to write down their own ideals, and say why they want to join lindongbao college and what their purpose is. In the last paragraph, the participants were asked how they would use the power if they became transcendent, and what was the essence of their understanding of the power.
There is no doubt that there are many people who are not prepared for this, and prest is the same. But unlike other people who don't know where to start, he just thinks for a moment and then goes on writing smoothly.
A man is not stupid. Of course, he knows the purpose of these questions. The first part is to check the basic knowledge and common sense of the participants, which is not up to standard. He can only be said to be a fool. The second part is to observe the character and purpose of the participants. Those with abnormalities will be eliminated. The last part is to observe the psychological condition of the participants from the other side, Therefore, Prester did not write much flowery words, but wrote his ideal in plain and light language, which was refined from his past experience.
"Be a strong person who can protect your family and lead a better life with them. Extraordinary power is my tool. It's no different from the equipment I use to produce goods and the knowledge in my mind. There's no need for special treatment. "
After all, it was the war vocational college, so after the written test, Prester entered the dreamland and conducted a six hour continuous combat test. During this period, he used all kinds of fog provided by the dreamland to fight with all kinds of demons in swamps, dense forests, deserts, coastal areas, islands in the lake, It's just a piece of cake for prest, who once fought with the green dragon on the southern border of the Empire. After the fight, he was a little tired in spirit, and even had a little more in his body.
But the test is over.
After the test, Prester went home to celebrate the time with his friends who were waiting for the end of the test. Then, prest went on with his ordinary life, working in the factory in the morning and picking up his sister Britney Spears, who went to universal school to study in the evening. He just waited for the notice of the college test to come.
"Prest, come here quickly!"
Time flies. A week later, when Prester was working in the factory, he suddenly heard Lande, the owner of the factory, calling his name excitedly. He temporarily stopped his work, and then followed the voice to the gate of the factory. Then, the man in the overalls looked at the tall gray magic armor Knight in amazement, And the package in his hand.
"Congratulations, Mr. Omni. You have passed the test of lindongbao champion college with excellent results. Here is your package. Please open it now. I will teach you how to use it."——I passed the test?!
Immersed in the surprise of passing the test, Prester subconsciously obeys the instructions of the gray knight and opens the package delivered by the other side. What appears in his palm is a blue crystal, like a pure sapphire crystal. The crystal is roughly rhombic, and the surface is extremely complex cutting surface. You can see that there is a fluorescent flash in the center of the crystal, It's as if there's a mobius ring like Rune array spinning rapidly to release light.
"Relax your mind, concentrate your will, touch it, and make your own mark."
The gray Knight slowly guided prest, and his eyes were a little envious, but soon returned to normal. The knight said: "this is the latest universal magic instrument developed by lindongbao college. You can call it the beta version of information terminal 0.9. The formal version has not been tested yet, but the basic network has been set up inside the college."
"Praise your Lord, and feel honored. You and others who have joined the college are the first users of this terminal."
……
"Joshua! What are you doing? The server is going to crash. Go to reinforce it quickly
"Tut, Nostradamus! What do you tell me about this? Aren't you and William responsible for maintaining the stability of the mental network? And where's Barnier? Why hasn't his Rune program been written yet? "
"Yesterday, he said that he found a program error and worked overtime all night to revise it. It seems that he hasn't finished it yet!"
"I said that it's unreliable for you to manufacture a batch of information terminals in such a hurry. Can't you wait until the experiment has made more progress?"
Northern Empire, Moldavia, ninieshan winterfort college.
In a huge steel laboratory at the top of the snow mountain, the nervous voices of several legendary strongmen ring back and forth.
At this time, Joshua strode to a huge Rune crystal core which was 25 meters long and full of cyan blue. There was No. 3's rickety magic projection floating on his side. The soldier frowned and asked in a low voice, "No. 3, look where the server is overloaded. I'll reform it."
"Here it is."
3 No. 1 looked up at the rune crystal which was quite similar to her body, and then pointed to a place where the light gathered: "this place is seriously entangled with runes and has a heavy load."
Hearing the words, Joshua did not have any nonsense, so he put some steel force into the place No. 3 pointed to, fine tuned the material structure. Soon, he could hear the voice of Nostradamus with a sigh of relief: "OK, the link between the mental network and the magic network is stable, waiting for banier to finish writing the program."
"You guys..."
Feeling that he had become a skilled repairman, Joshua said angrily, but then he sighed: "blame me, too much at once... No wonder these legendary mages are so excited about the integration of knowledge between the two worlds."
It started more than a month ago.
On December 15, 836, the legend of freedom, Rune master Barnier and the three legendary heroes of the northern Empire, Israel, Nostradamus and Joshua, contributed an extremely important message, that is, the existence of "magic net" in the sky on the continent of mirov.
This is an extremely old network that has existed for thousands of years. It is rooted in the energy cycle of the whole world. If it wasn't for Barnier and others to go back through the giant soldier's link, even the legendary strongman would hardly be able to find it. This may be the perfect preservation of the glorious era heritage network, which itself is a huge database, There are a lot of Secrets stored in it, but with the research of the legendary giants, there is no way to dig out these secrets.
However, Qiao Xiuya said that even if he could not find out the secret, the network itself had countless possibilities. The soldiers used the spiritual network of Xinghai world, atrium people and mother tree as examples, and even used the development of Internet in his previous life to deduce. He showed the future he knew to the four legendary strong men present: the development of network, It means the sharing of information, which will undoubtedly bring an era of information explosion, and the most basic benefit of information explosion is the popularization of knowledge.
On the Internet, there may be many false things, maybe many lies and boasting, among them, there are many worthless junk information, but as long as you have the heart, anyone can draw extremely rich knowledge from it.
This immediately attracted the interest of Israel and Nostradamus, who wanted to popularize the extraordinary power. Barnier and William, who always like to search for all kinds of ancient books and secret information, were also very impressed. They even quickly found other ways to use the Internet, that is, real-time contact between different places. Under the magic effect of transmitting information at the speed of light, they can communicate with each other in real time, There is almost no delay in the communication within the mcrov mainland, which plays a great role in the command of the army, the communication and sharing between the adventure teams, the help seeking and rescue.In addition, there are many advantages of the Internet. Joshua didn't describe them one by one, but just gave a general outline. Maybe when he opened a martial arts school in the past, he made the mistake of being a teacher again. Soldiers carelessly talked too much about it, and even put forward a new concept: now that we don't have enough materials to use magic net on a large scale, Then we can build a large server in Moldavia as a signal relay on the basis of creeping forest, and use the power of magic net in a small range.
This is really no wrong idea. The only wrong thing for Joshua is that he mistakenly estimated the leisure degree and action ability of other people on the scene. His majesty, the old mage and the legendary mage have been flustered recently, and their action ability is far beyond ordinary people. Joshua proposed the possibility, and they planned to do it directly at that time, And Joshua has just built the Empire's production line of virtual warships, and was once again pulled to build the super server of magic net.
"I'm really troubling you this time, number three."
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help looking at the girl with high quality of artificial intelligence on her side, and said softly, "I've been working with you all the time."
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Is there any work like this? I'll have more! No. 3 shakes his head with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
This time, the magic net server was set up thanks to the blessing of No. 3. As an artificial intelligence, No. 3's own Rune crystal body is actually a large information management center. As long as a little improvement is made and some devices are loaded to detect the magic net signal, an information processing matrix can be successfully built, So if Joshua wants to change the rune crystal server, he needs to pull up No. 3 to check.
It's just that the workload of this "little" improvement is beyond the imagination of many legendary strongmen. It's just an internal network for students of lindongbao, which exhausts Barnier, who is responsible for writing Rune programs. He doesn't seem to be so tired when competing with black fog for control of fog, And a day at least hundreds of times to fine tune the system of the server, although the spirit of Joshua still seems normal, but in fact has been impatient to find someone to compare.
"It's actually OK now."
On one side, William, who is observing the spiritual network situation of students in winter fort and magic net in real time, seems to want to comfort the public. He comforted: "think about the situation that the whole northern Empire officials, even all human beings, elves and dwarves will join this network in the future, the server load at that time... Right? We're quite relaxed now. "
"Shut up."“ Please shut up
Although he scolds William like this, in fact, Joshua is looking forward to the future growth of this network. Now is the beginning of its creation, so it's natural for these legendary giants to sense and link the magic network and set up servers on the first line. But in the future, more mages and technicians will replace them, and even do more than they expected.
Just like now, in version 0.9 of the information terminal, there are only the internal task board and forum of lindongbao college. Among them, the task board is designed by himself through some information of the system, which is used to replace the credit task system of lindongbao college. Now college students do not need to go to the central hall of each college to receive tasks, You just need to click on the task board, and you don't need many tutors to calculate the credits in turn. Barnier's Rune program will automatically accumulate.
The forum plate is an information exchange center proposed by the soldiers. The specific usage is to send posts to provide many students with information exchange. Although it has only been open for more than ten days, the number of various posts has reached an amazing number.
Although most of them are ordinary commemorative posts, there are many detailed descriptions of how they completed the task. The characteristics and key points of the monsters are clearly written out, which is the original intention of the soldier to establish this forum. Knowledge is only a matter of value that only diffuses, and only exchanges with each other. Civilization can develop rapidly.
——In the foreseeable future, the Western psychics will be able to communicate directly with the mage Association in the East. The old psychics will have new blood, and the new magic will be supplemented by the old knowledge, and some of the fighting spirit and combat skills that have gradually fallen behind will be rejuvenated after being supplemented by other knowledge, It will be a feast for everyone in the world. As long as everyone is willing to share, then everyone can get everything he wants.
Perhaps, Israel and Barnier do not know what changes their actions will bring to the world, but Joshua is different. He knows the value of his network.
"I'm really looking forward to it. It's totally different from the previous life. It's the future of the brand new world of mirov."
At the same time.In the boundless heaven, the stars of the multiverse world begin to twinkle in the dark void here, and the brilliance of the great devil tide becomes increasingly heavy. At this time, it finally penetrates into the semi independent plane hanging above the world of mirov.
"The time is coming, and the light of the magic tide has begun to shake the foundation of the plane."
A long sigh with echo appears in the middle of the world.
"Gear is returning, heritage is recovering,... Although hundreds of years later, the glory of the glorious era finally shines on the era of falling stars."
"Tell Igel that the gods are coming."
"We are coming back soon."
