Chapter 423 People's War, Mobilizing the Masses and Human Computers

Aurora stepped out of the portal and entered the teleportation hall of Rose's Great Temple.

She patted her chest to calm down the surging anger, the anger towards Teresia.

The good friend who was originally regarded as a sister is now a villain who can't wait to slap her in the face.In the communication room of Alpha Castle just now, Teresia spit on the book of trade winds as soon as her image disappeared.

Teresia is still unwilling to mobilize the three legions placed on the border of Hadron Kingdom. The [-]th and [-]th legions have no way to withdraw from the north and south wing forts to guard the teleportation that is spreading across a large area. fortress.

Thinking of Timmy's secretive statement that there are not many waste materials that can be sent to God's Fall Plateau, Hathaway not only closed the portal connecting Beta City and Shadow City, but also promulgated the magic materials by the queen. Due to the regulatory laws, many transactions were canceled, and Aurora's chest heaved even more violently.

She saw a clear line separating the Godfall Plateau from the Alliance of Order.

"Teresia and Hathaway are teaming up to block us! We must intensify our penetration into the Kester Kingdom and open new exits in the north! We will not hesitate to use force when necessary!"

Aurora set a new topic for the temporary central daily work meeting, and hurried to the portal leading to Beta City.If you remember anything, stop quickly.

She came to the miraculous stake in the center of the hall, and bowed solemnly to a wall of the hall.

There are more than 100 portraits hung on the wall. Unlike the portraits of other victims, the portraits have a red circle besides the outermost black circle. The first two portraits are Minsi and Otto.

This is the scarlet warrior who is continuing to fight as the scarlet undead in the realm of the dead.

A group of people were sorting out the portraits under the wall, and when they saw that one portrait had been hung up again without the red circle on it, Aurora sighed slightly.Those are the crimson undead whose remnants have dissipated. They sacrificed again for the revolution.

Thinking that Li Qi was leading the scarlet undead to fight against the purgatory undead, a hot current rushed into Aurora's nose and eye sockets.

Li Qi, don't let anything happen to you, I absolutely don't want to see your portrait here...

Aurora sniffled, bowed to the stake again, put her hand on the stake and cast a banner spell, and handed over today's rations.

"Ding, student card..."

The goddess sensed it, and echoed in her mind, it seems that the goddess is in a good mood today.

………………

In the office building in the core area of ​​Beta City, there is a circular workbench in Li Qi's office. Although Li Qi is not there, everyone is still used to holding temporary meetings with him.

A three-dimensional map is displayed above the workbench, with red dots distributed within a radius of [-] kilometers centered on Beta City.In the southwest is a mass of ferocious mist locked by three red dots.

Hammer, the chief chairman of the Infrastructure Committee of the PKP, pointed to the bright red dot and said: "The Engineering Corps has just completed the construction of the flax fortress, and the portal has joined the transmission network."

He squeezed his chin, and said with emotion: "Huma? Could it be the dwarf who died first? Damn, I told him that he is not a war material, how good it is to be honest with me..."

All teleportation fortresses are named after the red undead, such as Minsi Fortress and Otto Fortress.

The predecessor of these teleportation fortresses was the teleportation anchor points established in the anti-crime and evil operations. Fei Gong built fixed teleportation gates on the anchor points, and then protected them with full-defense fortresses, so that personnel and materials could be mobilized in a very short time. , to extinguish the wave of undead that erupted nearby.

"He's still fighting down there," Aurora said with a straight face: "And what's wrong with being a dwarf? Dwarves have privileges? Tell me about the overall situation."

Chang Hammer scratched his beard embarrassingly: "That's not what I meant... Yes, it's because I have a problem with my thinking, I will review it."

He coughed twice to clear his throat, and began to explain the entire teleportation network composed of teleportation fortresses.

With the completion of teleportation fortresses one after another, the vast area with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers centered on Beta City is gradually being completely controlled.The distance between any two fortresses does not exceed one hundred kilometers, and if there is any movement of the undead, troops of the size of a legion can arrive at the scene within an hour.

However, the area of ​​the Shenyun Plateau is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of this area. If the Giant King finds a breakthrough elsewhere, the consequences will still be disastrous.

Therefore, in addition to covering the core area of ​​Beta City, the teleportation network will also extend to other places on the Godfall Plateau.Of course, it is impossible to engage in carpet-style pulling nets in those places, and can only set up points.

The priority areas to set up are undead lairs that adventurers have identified, including various underground tombs, underground caves, depression cemeteries, etc., which are potential breakthroughs, and a teleportation fortress must be set up near the exit.

"The farthest place now is the Dragon's Back Valley, which is [-] kilometers to the south. Captain Elon's floating ship transported an engineering team. First, complete the survey and map, determine the space anchor, and then build a temporary portal to send the engineering army to build a fortress. .According to the schedule, it will be completed in four days at the latest."

"West and south is Yongli dense forest. According to the previous resolution, we will no longer extend it. Of course, I am not at ease."

"The most troublesome problem now is the garrison. The reserve army has been established, but each fort requires at least one small team to garrison, which adds up to a lot of people. Moreover, the soldiers of the reserve army are not trained enough, which is really worrying."

"Oh, there is also the matter of the communication module. Now it is just testing, and I have encountered problems in energy..."

When Chang Hammer said this, the robot that looked like a dead object suddenly moved beside him.

"Let me tell you this." Youzan shot a silvery-white light from the telescopic lens of the hemispherical head, and the image on the workbench suddenly changed into a cross-sectional three-dimensional model of the teleportation fortress cut by the vertical axis.

"The energy issue is a crucial issue. We can only use small magic power wells to support the portal. The defense of the teleportation fortress itself has to rely on divine power to convert magic circles, use divine crystals and even guard its own divine power, so it must be so Many people."

"The small-scale magic well technology obtained from the Storm Islands is already quite old. In the Godfall Plateau, the magic field is greatly disturbed and its efficiency is much lower. Such energy cannot support the entire transmission network, let alone protect it. Now it is just It's just a temporary transition."

Following the guidance of Youzan's "magic light pen", the cylindrical space under the stone tower in the center of the teleportation fortress, which was tightly protected by copper plates and black iron plates, was still empty.

"When we designed the teleportation fortress, we had already reserved space for the new energy system. The future teleportation fortress will integrate functions such as teleportation and communication, and can also support the protective barrier, making the fortress the core hub of the village. "

Standing in the office were Talens, Tees, Sardar, Stan, Asuna and others, all looking at Youzan with longing faces, waiting for its next sentence, unexpectedly there was only one sentence behind it: "New energy The system is under development, and the progress is gratifying!"

Nicole pulled her ponytail and sighed: "Our warehouse is almost empty, and the divine crystals and magic spar are flowing out like a fountain, but there is not much income. On the side of the Xia'andia mine, the mine veins are already full of magic guides. Metal."

"I could have hoped to sell a lot of magical metals, but the sales to the outside world are not ideal. Timmy and Zold's sales are not much, and other channels can't sell at all. I suspect that the Supreme Council secretly gave magic The division issued an order not to allow them to purchase our magic metal."

Chang Hammer said dissatisfied: "Since the fundamental problem has not been solved, the problem of manpower cannot be solved either."

Sardar complained about the long hammer: "Also talking about manpower, your infrastructure construction committee is still taking people from the reserve army! The engineering army is supposed to help you with your work, and now you want to expand another brigade and there is no way to fill it up."

"I don't think girls have the privilege of not being on the front line," Asuna yelled dissatisfiedly: "But many girls clearly have the potential to grow into priests who specialize in healing, and you give them to her because of her divine power." The magic gun kicked her into the legion, this is an irresponsible behavior!"

An old cough sounded, and Tarrence, who had been only in charge of teaching, was finally about to express his opinion.

"Don't forget our belief, everyone is for one, and I'm for everyone! And don't forget what the Chief Cardinal said before he left, the issue of development should also be considered in this war!"

The old man said very seriously: "We have done a good job in military affairs, technology, publicity and organization. We have also established a youth regiment in accordance with the instructions of the goddess, and we have closely united more people with potential. We also forgot one thing, that is to mobilize the people!"

"What have we done on this? We just want to let the masses eat and wear well? Keep them from causing trouble? Then choose active people to join the war, is that enough?"

"Shouldn't it be to let the masses deeply understand the significance of this war, realize that this is not only related to everyone's life and death, but also a great opportunity to temper themselves and control their own destiny? I haven't seen much action on this."

The old man called out his name directly: "Stan, this should be the direction you are most concerned about, but you are like a nanny running around all day long for the immigrants' food, drink, and mess. It's not that you shouldn't care about the masses, but is the direction of concern right? We can't take the masses As children who open their mouths and stretch out their hands when they eat, we must let the masses understand their rights and obligations, and know how to fight for themselves."

He glanced at the robot again, but the guy was turning his head innocently and failed to meet his eyes, so he coughed dryly and continued: "Whether it's material, manpower or technical issues, the first thing that comes to mind is mobilizing the masses. Do not isolate them from this war!"

The old man sighed: "A few days ago when I was lecturing to the Conrad orphans in the preparatory academy, the children were very eager to ask to go to the front line. Even if they couldn't go to the front line, they had to do some work within their ability. They said they wanted to defend their hometown. , to defend the Red Revolution, they are not yet ten years old!"

"After the lecture, I took a walk in the immigration area of ​​Beta City, and found that although the immigrants who moved in were happy, they still complained about this and that. Many people complained that the bed was too hard, the windows were too big and so on. Some people disliked free food It’s not up to your taste, why don’t you give out free ingredients and cook for yourself. Some people think that everyone wears the same clothes, why don’t you open a tailor shop to make clothes that you are satisfied with for free.”

"Most people don't feel that the war that is going on has anything to do with them. The only way to prove that they care about the war is to pray to Lady Night or other gods, and bless the undead from coming in and making them have a bad life."

"Comparing Conrad's orphans and immigrants, don't you understand the difference?"

"The one-month immigrant study class only allowed them to understand some rules and common sense of life, but it has not yet educated them into real people. They have not yet realized their connection with this land, and they do not know that they enjoy What does the treatment mean, it is only a reward from us or the gods."

It was rare for the old man to be long-winded at the meeting, but everyone didn't feel bored, and Stan lowered his head guiltily.

"Tarrence's words have inspired me a lot," Youzan first echoed: "Some issues really need to mobilize the masses and draw on the wisdom of the masses."

Aurora also said: "I did miss the promotion work in this area, Stan, Asuna, we need to do this work together from the aspects of immigration management and civil affairs protection, in terms of manpower..."

"Conrad's orphans can't go to the battlefield, they just can help." She looked at Tarrence, and the old man nodded in agreement.

Aurora proudly puffed up her chest: "Let Teresia and Hathaway see how powerful we can unleash with only less than 20 soldiers and civilians! Let them keep their eyes open, Take a good look!"

Everyone nodded at the same time, the heat of battle surging in their hearts.

………………

Beta City, the eastern part of the city next to the core area, has just been developed, and several stone buildings are hidden in the jungle and hills, which are extremely inconspicuous.

"The future of the Supercomputing Institute is great, you are at the right place." The deputy director in charge of personnel affairs, an old man with a white beard, moved a strange object to the middle of the table, and placed it in the center of sight of Catamon and Rezlin.

"This is a manual calculation board, also called an abacus. If you can learn to use this to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within a day, you will be qualified."

And the qualification test...

The two of them didn't think it was weird, it was really weird if they didn't test it, but this calculation board... no, abacus, why is it so weird?

There is only a wooden frame, which is divided into upper and lower grids. There are more than a dozen thin bars vertically on the hollowed out part, and how many beads can slide on each thin bar. Can this be calculated?

Rezlin said proudly: "We don't need this to..."

Then he obediently followed Catamon in the direction pointed by the old man with white beard.

Following the instructions, they entered a room, and a magician who looked like a mentor received them, and said in a familiar tone that he did not know how many times: "Do you know the abacus? Do you think you can do mental calculations, and you don't need tools?"

The two nodded at the same time...

"Okay, let's test it then." The instructor handed them a note: "Calculate the result of multiplying these two tens digits, and start now."

The two of them straightened their faces, and their eyeballs rolled up at the same time.

The instructor was not surprised by the result: "15 seconds and 17 seconds... yes, you guys used to specialize in teleportation?"

There were dozens of people sitting in the room, all with their heads buried in the crackling beads on the abacus.

The instructor called one and said to them: "You can give any two tens digits and let him do the calculation."

Catamon and Rezlin each wrote a ten-digit number on a piece of paper and handed it to the guy who should be an apprentice. Then the guy looked at the note, his fingers moved quickly on the abacus like tentacles of an octopus, and dialed The beads are flying up and down, which contains a strange sense of beauty.

As soon as the two had this feeling, their fingers stopped, and the result came out.

The instructor said, "Seven seconds."

The result was correct, and the two were dumbfounded.

In addition to being shocked by the magical function of the abacus, I also felt that something was wrong.

Rezlin came to his senses first: "He seems to be a commoner. Since commoners can use this abacus and do such quick calculations, why would they need a magician?"

"Civilians can't use abacus to do more complex calculations, so it's different for magicians." The instructor said, "Our holy lady has already created abacus, and the magic net has also recognized it."

"As long as you are so familiar with the abacus that you can use a virtual abacus to calculate in your mind without using the real thing, it is possible to master this spell. Once you master this spell, the spell can be automatically calculated."

The two took a breath first, and then looked at each other excitedly. This is really a powerful spell!
The instructor continued: "After mastering this spell, you must work in our supercomputing institute for at least three years."

The two nodded in succession, the price was very small.But any magician who is good at space, prophecy or even transformation spells knows that calculation plays a vital role in magic.Those evocation magicians who can only throw fireballs, why can't they cross departments, is because their clumsy brains are not good at calculations.

Just take the teleportation spell as an example, if the position of the anchor is not calculated, teleportation is extremely dangerous.The more powerful the computing power, the more precise the teleportation range and the less risk.

Now there is actually abacus to do calculations. You only need to understand the principles and do some training to perform extremely complicated calculations. Such spells are simply super magic skills!

Three years was so worth it!
The instructor said: "But you have to learn to use the abacus first, and you can only be eligible to sign this agreement if you learn it within today."

Learn to learn!
It's a pity that I didn't have any plans. The instructor sent an apprentice to take them to the warehouse to get them.

"Abacus is not the most powerful", the apprentices bragged to them on the way: "Our supercomputing institute is still studying ethereal calculation. I heard from the instructor that it is developed from the simplest and most core light and dark double code system in the magic language. It’s coming, and the speed is more than ten million times faster than abacus!”

Catamon and Razlin laughed out loud, the abacus is frighteningly fast, can it be a million times faster?Isn't that a god?

"Don't laugh, our director, Her Royal Highness Vicky, also said that it is not something that mortals can bear, so it must be carried by Void Spirit."

The two only listened to it as a joke, but they were very interested in what the apprentice said about Her Royal Highness.

Walking along the corridor to another stone building, a group of magicians who should be formal researchers can be seen busy from the window.

Some of them shook their heads, some nodded their heads, and some drooped their heads, with different postures.But people who can see have one characteristic, that is, their eyes are straight and their mouths are muttering.

The apprentice said: "The research institute has just sent out a subject, and everyone is asked to try to calculate the result..."

The two were very curious, what subject?
"It is said that there will be a total of fifty teleportation fortresses around Beta City in the future. If the teleportation gate fails, let the floating ship deliver lunch to the guards of all fifty fortresses, and then return to Beta City. How many routes will there be? The route takes the shortest time."

The question of the apprentice made the two of them laugh, what's so difficult about it...

As soon as the laughter started, I saw a magician in the room yelled, and fell down with his head up, two long lines of scarlet blood sprayed out of his nostrils.

"Damn it! Stop it!"

"Another one! Who's going to knock him out!?"

"He's about to explode—!"

There was chaos in the room, and it was unknown who shot the ice arrow at the guy's head, making the situation even more chaotic.

The apprentice sighed: "Abacus is also very dangerous. If the calculation is too complicated, it will happen if you don't stop in time."

Catamon and Raizlin looked at each other again, both of them were swallowing their saliva, and suddenly felt that their footsteps became extremely heavy, and they even wanted to turn around and run away.

Three years...

If you often have such subjects, can you get through it?
In addition to being afraid, I am still very puzzled. Is it really that difficult to give away boxed lunches?
