Chapter 261 The First Signal

Communication technique.

The advantage is that as a trick, it is the easiest to replicate and consumes the least energy.

The disadvantage is that there are too many restrictions. It is not even qualified as a short-distance communication method for street fighting. A distance of one hundred and twenty feet is indeed an extremely short distance similar to street fighting, but a little bit of wall, wood, stone and metal can hinder the implementation of the spell.

Short messaging.

The advantage is that it overcomes all the shortcomings of teleportation, shines in terms of distance and barrier obstacles, and even has the possibility of transmitting information across dimensions.

But the disadvantage is that it is a three-level spell. If you want to replicate it using rune technology, the technical difficulty is extremely high and the energy consumption is also huge.

However, its powerful penetrating ability is just a waste that cannot be used at present.

As for the other method, magic props, due to the lack of technology, it was directly ruled out by Kronos who needed to carry out mass production.

Finally, under the demonstration of Hyoanagi, Kronos recalled a technology that existed in the royal capital, the wizard tower, and among the wizards.

The soap bubble that delivers the message.

Although it seems to be flying slowly, that is because Kronos and Hyoanagi are in the same room.

"If once there's some distance between us, like this - look!"

After moving a little distance, the bubble that was originally floating lightly suddenly teleported.

There is almost no delay from birth to rupture.

As Kronos and Hiiragi continued to speak, their voices connected naturally, like a natural conversation.

The mages sent abroad can transmit information at such an extraordinary speed.

There is no need to consume your precious third-level spell slots, and there is no length limit of only a few dozen words.

If used properly, the small kingdom of Wommza with its wizard tower should be absolutely invincible in a world where feudal dynasties are prevalent.

But unfortunately, old Winston, who got the relevant information, was himself a traitor, so poor King Robert the Younger did not know what was really happening in the country until his death.

"I heard you talk about this before you joined us. You once used this to pass on the message that Lord Abes had eliminated a Lizardman supply point."

"At that time, you still thought that Lord Abes was an adventurer hired by General Paidi."

"So…what's the name of this spell?"

Kronos asked, and Hyoanagi patiently gave the answer.

"It doesn't have a specific name. It's a ritual spell, or mages who go out will simply use [the public communication pool] to call it."

Ritual spells do not require the consumption of magic rings, but instead require strict material, time, and ritual requirements.

However, some problems also arise.

"I can communicate with you in this way because, as one of the several great wizards in the Wizard Tower, I have retained some of the effects of the ritual."

"And if you want to use this method to contact Master Abes, you must first bring Master Abes back to perform the ritual."

"Secondly, before you can hold the ceremony, you must gather all the ritual materials that will serve as the terminal."

The magic pool in the wizard's tower, along with the entire floating island, had been cut off by Lord Abes.

The terminal ritual materials have disappeared, and the remaining mages and apprentices can no longer use this convenient and fast message pool to communicate.

As for this matter, Hirayama believed that the destruction of the information pool also eliminated the possibility that the mages and apprentices would gather together to discuss bad things with ulterior motives, which was a good thing, so she never advised Abes to rebuild the capital.

It was not until now, when Lord Abes was away and the corresponding communication technology needed to be developed as soon as possible, that Hyo Nagi demonstrated this technology again in front of others.

However, the message pool has been destroyed, and the reason why Hibiki can communicate with Anivia now is purely because she is a great wizard and still retains some of the effects of the ritual.

At the same time, she used herself as the terminal to receive, process and send messages.

However, if they want to achieve Lord Abes's request, now that he can receive the news outside, and any one of them in the royal capital can receive it at any time, then this ritual spell cannot be used directly.

“It needs some improvements.”

This was the conclusion Kronos came to after much thought.

----------

How to solve a difficult problem?

There are many ways.

Split, convert, replace equal amounts, summarize rules...

And obviously, rune technology is used to do this.

"First, calculate the spell into a rune combination, then clearly mark the function of the rune combination. Next, these functional parts can be split into modules and combined. Although this does not mean that I can create new spells, the result I have shown is that I can use some parts of spell A to combine some parts of spell B, and finally get the C effect I want."

After setting up her ideal three-step plan, the silver-haired girl looked at the rune set in front of her in a daze.

“It’s hard to understand…”

The difficulty of replicating the Teleportation Spell as a trick is similar to that of the Fire Arrow Spell.

Soon, she also determined the principle of the sending and receiving part.

Particles - if Abes were here, she would tell her directly that they were radiation particles.

In summary, high-energy radiation particles will excite a certain part of the brain of an intelligent creature, causing it to enter an excited state so that it can receive messages.

When the excited state falls back to the ground state, the same radiation particles will also be fed back.

So, this is why communication spells usually come with a reply function, and only a one-time reply function.

It's like Newton's cradle. How high the left side is initially pulled will determine how high the right side will fly.

But at the same time, its particle nature means it cannot bypass barriers and is easily blocked by thicker objects.

However, the more complicated three-ring text messaging technique, under Kronos's analysis, could not reveal the full picture, but could only obtain part of the answer like drawing a blind box.

But even so, Kronos got the part he wanted.

"That's it... Why is the range of the Short Message spell infinite?"

The secret lies in the transmission of text messages.

After carving out the rune group corresponding to the function of this part, Kronos was surprised to find through calculations that it had the same function as the communication part, with an additional part for transmitting imaginary numbers.

Kronos, who had long since linked various types of calculations with the use of spells, also understood the principles of short messaging at the first opportunity.

Imaginary numbers correspond to non-material planes; equality corresponds to entanglement synchronization.

Although it still started with high-energy particles, later on, these particles directly entered other planes outside the material plane.

Without the interference of the material plane, there would naturally be no situation where it would be blocked by various thick objects.

However, since we have to take the path of other dimensions and take a long detour, if we want to go faster, we can only use entanglement synchronization.

By utilizing the transmission properties of the magic net, if magic power is injected from one point, it will inevitably be transmitted from another point.

Although the two are not the same particle, they are identical in all properties, from wave motion to speed to the various attributes they carry.

However, when things got to this point, Kronos did not solve the problem.

If one directly combines the generation part of teleportation with the transmission part of short message, then the energy requirement of using the non-material plane to take a long detour will still exist.

If they were combined directly like this, all Kronos would get would be a three-ring communication technique that consumes energy.

----------

The key to breaking the deadlock lies in the understanding of the ritual spell.

Using Iron Heart to replicate the magic fluctuations when Hyoanagi shouted out bubbles, Kronos did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue from replicating two spells in a row. Instead, he immediately transcribed the baseline runes and basic runes that Iron Heart had used to replicate this fluctuation onto paper.

And the results are surprising.

"Entangled synchronization? But how?"

If the same set of runes represents the same function, then the most core part of the entire ritual spell seems to be the module in the short message spell that represents entanglement and synchronization.

However, the reason why the entanglement and synchronization operation of the short message spell requires an imaginary number operation in front of it is because the magic network on the material plane is really not peaceful, and countless spellcasters are "parasitic" on it.

Throwing a signal into such a turbulent magic net doesn't mean that the entanglement synchronization principle of the magic net will become invalid. It just means that it will be difficult for your spell to capture the synchronization signal that is fed back.

Therefore, spells used in the material plane often do not directly use operations such as fetching.

How exactly does ritual magic solve the indexing problem?

Kronos felt that he had hit a dead end and was frustrated and wanted to give up.

She hadn't rested for a day and a night, and she felt like she was sinking and spinning out of control.

But in the end, she was about to fall down but was helped up by Bing Nagi.

"You, how can you finish a research in one day? Don't push yourself too hard."

"Look, you didn't get enough rest, so you made such a simple mistake..."

The frost wise man turned the iron heart in front of Kronos's table.

The two base runes were actually activated at the same time.

"Remember to do the opposite."

The magic web not only covers the world, the plane, and the planes that cross each other, but also includes the magic circuits in living organisms. However, generally speaking, when we mention the magic web, we are referring specifically to the magic web outside the human body.

Many people do not realize that the parts of intelligent creatures called magic circuits, which are linked to their so-called bloodlines and talents, are actually a kind of magic network and one of the gifts of the Goddess of Magic.

"Reverse the external magic network... Meaning, this entanglement and synchronization operation must be performed inside the body of the caster and the target?"

Yes, that’s it!

Although the external magic network was turbulent, the magic circuits in the caster's body remained calm.

If there are occasional disturbances, they are the caster's own actions.

In this environment, it is very easy to identify which fluctuation is the message being transmitted.

----------

Finally, after combining the three spell-related rune groups according to Kronos' needs, it is necessary to add parts that allow the three key functions to be connected to each other based on actual conditions.

What the silver-haired girl ended up with was a slightly bloated creation.

It has the particle generation part of teleportation, the receiving part of short message, and the part of ritual spell that uses entanglement synchronization for rapid transmission.

The combination of the most exquisite parts of these three spells actually occupies a larger area than the rune group analyzed from any three-ring or even four-ring spell.

It’s as big as half a table!

The previous grenades and magic bombs could all be stuffed into such a small inner wall.

This volume is purely the functional part of the rune group. It is not like the magic blast furnace which is so huge because it needs to provide enough space for heat isolation, the input of iron ore and reducing agent, and the outflow of molten iron.

In other words, if the functional part of the prototype, which is the size of a table in front of us, is really put into mass production in the future, it will at least occupy an area as large as three or four tables.

Not too big, but definitely not too small either.

In other words, it can exist in any room, even in a temporary command post on the battlefield.

It can also be carried on the shoulders or backs of one or two soldiers during the march.

However, it was impossible to equip every soldier as Abes imagined.

All the soldiers can do is to have a little chance of feedback when the particle signal emitted by the other side changes them from an excited state to a ground state.

In other words, one cannot proactively provide feedback and can only wait for the opportunity to mention it when asked by the superiors.

Although this is already a huge improvement, it is enough for Kronos to build an army that surpasses the North.

Even in cases where the lower levels are unable to proactively provide feedback, the problem can be resolved by simply asking the higher levels to make regular inquiries.

However, Kronos just felt a little dissatisfied.

In this regard, it was Bing Nagi who stopped the girl who had not rested for a day and a night.

"Go and rest, you have done a good job."

"By the way, although it's a prototype, from your description, it can already send and receive. So do you want to try to talk to Master Abes right now?"

"Hey!" The silver-haired girl suddenly woke up, "Isn't it a bit too fast?"

"No, testing is also an important part of research. Who else could be more suitable than Lord Abes to be the target of this ultra-long-distance communication?"

Hirayama placed on the table the information about the receiving device that Abes had asked her to install on the armor when she left.

Soon, Kronos also understood how to use this thing to accurately lock on Abes and not anyone else.

The silver-haired girl pressed her finger on the activation button of the rune set.

Short long, long short short, long short long long, short short, short short short. (Morse code for the English word abyss)

呲——

A feeling of magic power being drawn out from the magic circuits in his body and then extending outward appeared in Kronos' mind.

Then, after a click, the sound in my head turned into a gentle breathing sound.

Convey——"Lord Abes?"

Send and receive——"?! Yeah, I knew you could do it."

It was Lord Abes's surprised voice, as if those golden eyes were right in front of him.

That was the first signal heard throughout the world.
