Chapter 10: Monet
As early as in the second video, when the goose-yellow mist filled the entire space on the first floor, and only the silhouettes of people could be vaguely seen, Lin explained that he would have to wait for a long time before seeing the scene of the knife attack. When the picture was displayed, the five inspectors restrained their preparations for attack, and only kept some defensive means.
Even when Lin asked, "Do you want to check the identity of the deceased in the film?" Most of the inspectors just curled their lips, not interested. In any case, the lost world is a hierarchical world, and the status of magicians and ordinary people is high or low. Even if the world does not allow arbitrary killing, the power of life and death in the magic tower is the bottom line common to all magicians, even if they do not have the identity of the tower master.
As long as people died in the tower, no magician would hold the tower owner accountable no matter how innocent those ordinary people were and how wronged they were. As the inspectors who maintain the order of magicians in the Lost World, they faithfully support such principles. If the dead person has relatives of a certain magician, please avenge yourself, the association and the inspectors will not get involved in the personal enmity.
Compared with the right and wrong between the two parties, the inspectors were more interested in what Lin showed. They gathered in front of the console and behind Lin. The leader, the muscular great mage Grinwen, who was more like a berserker than a mage, stared straight at the mirror of the energy pool with bright eyes, and asked, "Is this time regression magic?"
In the Lost World, there is magic that can show distant scenes, but it is a real-time picture, and they can even communicate with each other. From Lin's point of view, it is the realization of a video conversation.
But to see the past or future, it involves divination and time spells. And those who can show certain results in these two types of magic are worthy of the admiration of others. In other words, ignore the future that has not yet happened; for the past that has happened, this world cannot yet perform the functions of video recording and playback.
…What a technological process that is bullshit. It really isn't scientific at all.
After a few words of slander, Lin still had to respect the great magician who asked the question, and politely explained: "This is not going back in time. It is by monitoring the magic circle—" pointing to the corner ceiling of the core room, a protruding and flattened White crystal, the base is a small magic circle glowing with light blue light. "──Save everything that happened as an image file. Then, when you need it later, just play it back."
As he spoke, Lin cut the screen into the actual monitoring screen. In the part of the core room, it was the backs of everyone gathered in front of the console.
In order to show everything, Lin deliberately walked to the monitoring crystal and waved his hand. As actually presented on the monitor screen.
Then go back to the console, call up the picture of waving just now, and show it to the inspectors.
Before becoming law enforcement officers, they were also magicians who sought out all the knowledge in the world. So I couldn't help being curious about the novelty that Lin showed. What followed was a barrage of questions.
Being continuously questioned, things that belong to common sense on the earth, and some even exist like breathing air, such things that are taken for granted without knowing why, Lin felt powerless for a while, but he had to patiently explain. After all, the other party is a supervisor, so it is so easy for them to find something to make themselves uncomfortable. So it's better not to make the guests unhappy.
However, a sudden problem still troubled Lin.
"Can you provide us with the video, bring it back, submit it to your superiors, and keep it as a record."
It sounds like a request, but it is actually an order. The duties of the inspectors, while completing their tasks, leave reports and relevant evidence as they should. And these evidences are also things that must be re-examined when there are doubts in the future. The problem is that these image files are saved with the energy pool as the core and the entire magic tower as the hardware.
There are no chips, processors, memory, let alone hard drives. Of course, there is no way to know the processor frequency, how much storage space is available and so on. I have thought about using magic stones as a medium to store and use, but to save video files, I have already exploded several high-quality magic stones in Lin.
He was reluctant to use his wealth to conduct experiments to measure the upper limit of the storage of magic stones of each quality. Because as long as it exceeds, it will explode, and there is not even a word indicating insufficient space.
After explaining the predicament he was facing, Lin Duozui asked, "Do you have any purple magic stones to try?" Looking at the five people whose faces collapsed, Lin also knew what the answer would be.
There are seven kinds of magic stones, from low to high, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. But it does not mean that there are only seven types of magic stones, but it refers to the magic aura contained in it. Its spectral wavelength is in the visible light range, transitioning from red to purple, and then roughly divided into seven intervals.
A medium-sized magic stone vein can excavate purple-grade magic stones. After cutting into standard-sized hexagonal cylinders, there are only a few pieces. So one can imagine its preciousness and high price. Lin usually only used Hongyao-level magic stones, and the few exploded belonged to the top-grade orange ingot-level magic stones, which were close to the magic stones of yellow aura. Just thinking about it made the corners of Lin's mouth twitch.
I understand that others can't easily take out that kind of high-end product; moreover, even if I really take out a purple-level magic stone, the video file will be successfully transferred to the magic stone, and it will still be useless to take it elsewhere. On Earth, who can buy a DVD movie and see the movie just by looking at it, it must rely on a player or computer. So Lin just asked casually.
"I have other methods, so that everyone can bring back the film for business." After Lin finished speaking, he whistled and called his little apprentice. "Halomi." He pointed to his ear. The understanding blond girl immediately took off the earring pendant and quickly handed it to her teacher, but her expression was extremely reluctant.
Looking at his apprentice's expression, Lin couldn't help feeling amused, and comforted him: "Don't think too much, this one is just for testing. I'll make a formal one for you later."
The girl who got the promise immediately changed her mood, and happily returned to her original position and stood up. Lin then took off the pendant of the earring, which was a small red Yao-level magic stone that had been divided and polished.
Hold the redstone in your hand. The secret spell that was activated was very simple: "Forum." Immediately, two water mirrors condensed in front of him, one upright and the other level, which are the functions of the screen and keyboard. Lin waved his palm, controlled the water mirror on the screen to zoom in and faced everyone, followed the same steps to log in to the forum page and said: "Using the magic stone as a carrier, you can browse the forum page."
At the same time, enter the partition of the "Tower of the Great Sage". There are already several discussion threads in it, the titles are: 'Beginners of Magic', 'Explanation of the First Circle of Magic', 'Explanation of the Second Circle of Magic', 'Explanation of the Third Circle of Magic' and a 'Kaya, there are so cute Small dog'. What is this?
Looking at the final title, Lin himself felt baffled. Curiously, I went in and took a look, and it turned out to be a litter of puppies that two young apprentices met in the wild. One said it was so cute and wanted to take it back and raise it. The other responded noncommittally, asking questions like where and how to raise them from time to time.
After a cursory look, Lin withdrew from the discussion thread with some powerlessness, turned to his two apprentices and said, "I didn't tell you, the information you need to learn is on it. It's for you to read at any time in your spare time." .Not for chatting."
The two girls are obsequious. Looking at that expression, Lin also knew in his heart that the two of them didn't listen at all. It's just that the guests are still there, so I can only put the two disobedient girls aside. Re-click on the discussion thread of "Beginners of Magic", and a large amount of text content is exactly the same as the book of the same name provided by the Magician's Association.
This is an introductory book provided by the association for magicians to teach apprentices, and it is also an introductory book that every apprentice must learn.
Lin touched the water mirror on the screen lightly with his finger, slid slightly, and browsed the second, third, and even later content. Said: "The magic stone carrier can browse a large amount of plain text content, so that the energy will not be exhausted in an instant. According to the characteristic that the magic stone will automatically recover a little energy when it is left standing, the Hongyao grade magic stone is enough as a carrier and does not need to be used as a carrier. How much will it consume. If you want to browse pictures, the energy consumption will be greater than the automatic recovery. As for the video file, you can’t open it. If you open it, it will run out of energy and the magic stone will be scrapped. Unless the level of the magic stone is high enough and the energy is sufficient. But you must How high, I don't know yet."
Then, Lin put the magic stone in his hand on the left side of the console, on the special octagon and eight-pointed star magic circle, and continued: "If you adults want to watch movies after returning to the association, the best way is to use The energy pool of the association." As he spoke, he pushed the water mirror on the screen towards the mirror energy pool, and the forum page covered the original monitoring screen. Then click on the video link to open and watch it smoothly.
After all, what is stored in the magic stone is a program similar to an operating system. In the Lost World, there is no so-called wireless or wired connection problem, as long as it is not in the forbidden area, it can be connected to the Internet. The internet speed of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is also not considered, only the download traffic will be limited by the energy contained in the magic stone itself. When the energy of the magic stone is exhausted, things become useless. And using it with the magic tower energy pool, basically Lin hasn't tested where the limit is.
Such a display is undoubtedly shocking to people with medieval culture. The most important thing is that among the known magics—including lost but recorded ones, and excluding some undisclosed secrets—there is no real-time long-distance communication, and magic with low cost and almost no consumption.
Although the Lost World can achieve an effect similar to that of a video call, it doesn't matter how many restrictions there are, and it must rely on the huge energy of the energy pool to achieve a similar effect. Now after asking about the communication distance, although Lin did not actually measure it, the system itself was developed based on the original function of using the magic tower mark to achieve long-distance message. So where there is magic, this system can be used, which is a reasonable inference.
In addition, the forum can store the content of books, pictures, and videos. In this world where there is no printing technology and knowledge is basically transmitted by dictation and handwriting, how much impact can such a tool bring. When they thought about all this clearly, the inspectors opened their mouths wide open one by one, and stared at all this with staring eyes.
When Lin signaled to allow the guests to operate freely, the five high-ranking magicians almost got into a ball.
Perhaps it was the difference in their seniority and combat power that made a fight end before it even started. The two magicians with lower seniority touched their noses and stepped aside first. After the three great magicians were gesturing which one had bigger biceps, the other two had no choice but to back out.
However, they didn't watch other people's operations eagerly. Instead, they surrounded Lin and bombarded him with questions. Asking someone is a little bit broken.
