The temporary meeting next to the Holy City lasted for several hours before it was declared over. Before the meeting ended, Harov announced another important news. Three months later, the parliament would convene wizards from the entire empire to hold the most grand academic seminar in the capital! Lin En was also very interested in this. During the more than one year of attacking the empire, he did not have much time to pay attention to the development of magic science, but from the advent of the first generation of cameras, it can be seen that the development and innovation of basic magic theory has never stopped, and even has an explosive growth.

If nothing unexpected happens, this academic seminar will surely be very lively and will also promote exchanges.

The development of magic science cannot be achieved by simply searching for ideas behind closed doors; every result must be a theory that can withstand experiments and public scrutiny.

This series of shocking news did not stop the discussion among the congressmen even after the meeting. The most mentioned topic was naturally Lynn's plan to mass-produce wizards.

It has to be said that this magic star always comes up with some amazing ideas. If they succeed, this continent will have hundreds of thousands more wizards in just a few years! "Speaker Lin, I wonder how much of the construction and research of the magic network has been completed? Do we need more manpower? When can it be used?" Tik asked enthusiastically after walking out of the meeting room.

The temptation to break through the current level and become a great wizard is too great. He is not the only one who cares about the construction of the magic network. Many congressmen left their seats and came forward impatiently to get close to Lin En, the magic star.

Although according to Lin En, after the magic network is built, every wizard can join in and use its power to experience a higher level of realm.

But anyone with a little bit of common sense can realize that the computing power of the magic network must be insufficient, otherwise Lin En would not have said anything about limiting the number of spells that new-school wizards can cast every day.

There are at least five thousand three-ring wizards waiting for promotion in the empire. Everyone wants to mobilize more computing power and comprehend the power of the great wizard, which inevitably leads to a first-come-first-served issue.

No one wants to be the one waiting, and they don’t know how long they will have to wait in line.

Therefore, it is particularly important to please Lin En, the creator of the magic network. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of a word from the other party to transfer computing power to help oneself get promoted! Amid the enthusiastic crowd and flattery, Lin En was also exhausted. He never liked such hypocritical interactions.

If it were a debate on magic, he could talk to these hundreds of congressmen for three days and three nights without stopping.

"The general model of the spell has been completed. Recently, I am developing a magic that can allow every wizard to connect to the magic network anytime and anywhere. It should be able to produce results within three days..."

Lin En responded to everyone's questions concisely. In fact, he could connect to the magic network directly through the secret ring, but it was too obvious and would easily arouse suspicion, so he combined magic projection with the application of consciousness transmission to develop a small magic specifically for connecting to the magic network.

It was like a magic version of the Internet, with magic being the transmitter, except that it was not computers that were connected, but the brains of wizards! "As for the order in which the computing power was used to comprehend the realm..." Lin En hesitated. Just as Tik and the others had thought, the computing power of the magic network could not be supplied to so many people at the same time.

It is not easy to allow a three-ring wizard to briefly reach the realm of a great wizard. At the beginning, the intelligent computer drained the computing power of nine three-ring wizards to allow Lin En to briefly experience the level of a great wizard.

After the war, these nine people either died on the spot or became vegetables.

According to Lin En's estimation, without affecting daily life, it would require the computing power of at least thirty wizards of the same level.

It would be good if ten three-ring wizards could sense the realm of great wizard for one minute every day. After all, all the computing power cannot be wasted here.

Lin En did not intend to abuse his power or engage in corruption in the allocation of these quotas. He had just become Speaker, and doing so would inevitably leave a bad impression on people.

Lin En quickly came up with a relatively fair and motivating method. "Why not just evaluate based on contribution? Whether it's military exploits, research on magic theory, or the development of new magic, they can all be converted into corresponding GPA points, and the GPA points can be used to purchase the right to use the magic network!"

"How many credits are needed to use it once? How are the military merits converted?" a congressman asked with a frown.

"This is something you should consider." Lin En shrugged. The detailed rules and regulations must of course be discussed and drafted by the parliament. He did not have the leisure to waste time on this.

He is only responsible for saying yes, or sending it back for revision! Providing computing power is only one of the many functions of the magic network, and the rest are still under development. Lin En hopes that one day, the magic network can cover all aspects and be truly worthy of its name!

After giving the request for permission to use the magic network, Lynn acted impartially and rejected many invitations to banquets that were intended to curry favor with people.

The situation is so critical now, and Ella who ran away may come back at any time. How can you still have the leisure to hold a singing and dancing party? Have you finished your meditation today? Have you learned all the existing magic theories? How much calculus and electromagnetic equations have you mastered? Under Lin En's three consecutive questions, the congressmen gathered around him had no choice but to disperse. They knew that it was unlikely to rely on tricks to gain some advantages from this magic star.

Lin En also took this opportunity to reveal a little bit that he was trying to persuade the top executives of the [Society of Mysticism] to see if they could connect the magic net with the microcosm to achieve mutual communication and assistance, which could be regarded as a precautionary measure for everyone.

…

The news about Lynn's plan to mass-produce wizards and the academic seminar to be held in three months spread throughout the empire like the wind with the publicity of the Magic Daily.

The wizards who had been a little slack because the war was progressing smoothly immediately perked up, each of them as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Especially those three-ring wizards who are about to reach the limit of their lifespan have seen new hope. Once they are promoted to great wizards, not only can their lifespan be extended, but they can also smoothly enter the parliament and become members of parliament who hold power and can participate in major decision-making.

Even great wizards like Arad are not idle. Although they do not need to comprehend the realm, when they are promoted to legend in the future, they may need to mobilize the magic network as a help.

The magic power and energy consumed by the legendary promotion ceremony is also an astronomical figure. The parliament will not provide these for free. You have to show real achievements in exchange.

Now that the war against the Empire is almost over, there are not so many opportunities to gain military merit, so the upcoming academic seminar becomes particularly important. If you can obtain a few academic medals of honor, you will definitely be able to apply for priority access to the magic network.

Thanks to the development of optics, electromagnetism, mechanics, gravity and Olympiad mathematics in recent years, there are innumerable areas that can be tackled. Improvement in any one branch is enough to get a Morning Star Medal. If there is a breakthrough, the Silver Moon Medal will be a sure thing!

Some wizards also placed their hopes on finding dozens of new elements that were missing on the periodic table. On the contrary, the Kingdom Musketeers, which had been winning battles in succession in recent times, have been ignored.

The absolute technological suppression, coupled with the collapse of the church's divine system, meant that even the great nobles of the entire empire were extremely united and could not stop the army's successive defeats.

In just one month since the Magic Kingdom switched from defense to offense, there have been seven cases of soldiers mutiniing on the battlefield - faced with a flood of armor that could not be cut by swords or penetrated by bows and arrows, and a sea of ​​airships that blocked out the sky, the Imperial Army, without the blessing of divine magic, could only be described as collapsing at the first touch.

In order to change this unfavorable war situation, the imperial family and nobles of the empire also came up with many tactics.

For example, they sent a trusted guard to pretend to surrender, and then exploded from the inside to stir up chaos, so as to attack from the outside and defeat the strong with the weak! As a result, these guards who were sent to pretend to surrender simply surrendered after staying in the city under the jurisdiction of the kingdom for a while, and sold them out completely.

There's no way around it, the treatment there is so good. Even being a prisoner is much better than being a soldier in the Empire. I heard that the prisoners who were sent to mine and build roads can not only have enough food, but also have two days of vacation every month.

If you are willing to accept reform, there will be a day when you will be released and start a new life.

Under such circumstances, no soldier would want to fight a war that he had no chance of winning.

At the same time, in the City of Kerosene, on the shores of the nearly dried-up Lake Earls, the Thunder Wizards, who had used up all their magic power to extract several thousand grams of tritium and deuterium elements, spent the rest of their energy on academic research.

Compared with their colleagues who participated in the war against the Empire, although they stayed in the rear area to avoid the risk of death, they also had fewer channels to gain military merit.

As for hard work, of course there is hard work. The smooth operation of the fusion reactor is inseparable from their tireless efforts. This Lake Earls, which is almost completely ionized, is the best proof of this!

However, when the credit is shared among so many people, the amount that reaches each individual becomes less. It is not easy to stand out from them and successfully get the opportunity to be promoted to a great wizard or a legendary wizard.

Fortunately, being in a safe zone is not without its benefits. It also means having plenty of time and resources to engage in academic research.

As they have mastered the art of thunder, they have a natural advantage in the study of electric and magnetic fields. However, Jeffrey, who is also proficient in thunder magic, did not choose to spend his energy on electromagnetism because there are too many people specializing in it and he had to find another way.

And he was more interested in studying optics! What is light? According to the wizards' previous understanding, light may be an extremely tiny element that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

It is said that this hypothesis originated from a great wizard who studied optics. One day when he was taking a shower, light shone in through the window. Through the thick fog, he "saw" granular light! But Jeffrey did not think that this was just a natural phenomenon formed by light shining on the floating dust. The cloud chamber built by Speaker Lynn could explain this phenomenon very well.

There is another point that makes him more certain of his guess, that is, the diffusion phenomenon of light is completely inconsistent with the so-called element theory! This must be wrong! Jeffrey felt that he had touched the door to the truth, and his ambition also expanded rapidly.

You know, optics is a very critical field. Lynn, the Magic Star, has promised that whoever can understand the essence of light will be nominated for a Corona Medal!

With this achievement, he will be the first person under the Speakers to be promoted to Legend! "Teacher, the 35th experiment has been set up!"

Just as Jeffrey was fantasizing, several wizard apprentices spoke cautiously. Seven experimental devices had been set up in front of them.

Each experimental device is installed with a laser transmitter that can emit seven different colors of light, including red, green, blue, orange, and purple.

There are several baffles behind the launcher, and holes of different sizes are drilled in the middle of the baffles.

Jeffrey walked to the experimental table and observed very carefully the scattering phenomenon of light after passing through the holes in the partitions. After watching for a few minutes, his brows were furrowed, and he was puzzled.

When a beam of light passes through a hole with a wider diameter, the path of the light will present a very standard cone shape, which is consistent with the common sense that light travels along parallel paths.

However, when passing through a very narrow gap, the situation is completely different. The scattering range of light increases significantly. Not only does a cone with a larger diameter than the original light beam appear behind the baffle, but faint ring-shaped apertures also appear in the shadows around it.

Jeffrey pondered for a long time, holding a white paper in his hand, which was filled with the rules summarized from previous experiments. Three places were circled and could be confirmed.

First, monochromatic light cannot be divided. Second, the same medium refracts different colors of light to different degrees. Third, all colors of light have a diffusion phenomenon and will not disappear due to the reduction of their intensity.

Now is the time to explore the fourth key point, which is also the most critical, and to conduct in-depth research on the phenomenon of light diffusion.

Jeffrey's hand tightly grasped an ink-dipped quill, but he was unable to move for a long time.

"Teacher, do you want to give it a try by adding a few more holes on the baffle?" a wizard said on a whim.

They had been experimenting with single-hole baffles before. What if they changed it to double or even triple holes?

"We can also change the round hole into other shapes, such as triangle, rectangle, etc., maybe we will have new discoveries..." another apprentice also suggested.

Jeffrey's eyes suddenly brightened up. He had not had the time to try these two points.

"Then give it a try."
