Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 348 The Ring of Wisdom Changes the World

 The Highest Tower of Arcane, the "ring of the sky" just built above the clouds, is slowly rotating, flying along with the clouds and mist.

 Since the release of the Ring of Light, the live broadcast of the Light Vision Station has become the best stage to showcase spiritual arcana.

To this end, the stars have stipulated that only academic conferences are allowed to be broadcast live, and other concerts, phantom film premieres, and song and dance parties are not allowed to be broadcast live to prevent the arcane mages from lowering their qualifications.

 Similarly, in order to have a supreme and authoritative place for live broadcast of press conferences in the future, it was finally decided to build an academic conference venue on the Supreme Tower of Offa.

The plan to build the "Offata Academic Conference Hall", which cost countless resources and was built just for show, was unanimously approved by the Stars Conference, and construction started a year ago - roughly after Selsus learned about the optical brain project. And begin.

Furthermore, the initiator of this Offa Tower academic conference venue was none other than Selsus.

 After completion, the first academic conference to be held will be the Ring of Wisdom.

"Friends in the audience, what we are seeing now is the Academic Conference Hall of the Tower of Offa." The location host of the Seven Towers Optical Observation Station was broadcasting live on a shuttle. "The dome hall on the top of the tower is used as the venue. The center, surrounded by eighteen small floating cities, constitutes the entire academic conference venue."

As the camera swept across, the panoramic view of the Offata Academic Conference Hall was spread to thousands of households along the ring of light and information.

Let everyone who has never been to the Holy City of Offa be able to see the majestic wonders of the tallest building in mankind - the Tower of Offa.

Half of the tower is completely above the clouds, and the thick clouds are like a vast sea of ​​clouds. The Aofa Tower and the other six highest towers rise from the sea of ​​clouds, forming the posture of stars over the moon, surrounding the central Aofa Supreme Tower.

 The top of the Offa Tower forms a large circular platform like a torch, which is the Dome Hall, an open-air square.

 At the center is a large multi-faceted terrace.

At the top of the terrace is the press station for academic conferences, where the arcanist who conducts academic conferences will give a speech.

Every side around the terrace is a huge screen, which broadcasts every move on the news station in real time. The screen is also enlarged so that the surrounding audience can clearly see the speaker and admire every trace of the great Arcana Master's grace during his speech.

Around the dome hall, eighteen small floating cities are clustered like satellites, and each small floating city is an audience platform.

 Each auditorium can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

In other words, this academic release site can accommodate a total of 200,000 viewers to watch the academic release at the same time.

 The auditorium is connected in a circle and rotates around the dome hall, as if a ring appears in the sky.

"So, this Offa Tower academic conference venue is also known as the Ring of the Sky." The location host continued to warm up, "Now we can see that the audience is entering the venue in an orderly manner on shuttles. Although the audience The station is far away from the news station, but you don’t have to worry.”

The location host signaled the shuttle to approach the dome hall and get close to the large terrace: "We can now see that there are giant screens on every side of the large terrace... The masters on site are debugging, wow, the giant screen has started."

 The giant screen lit up, a screen larger than a football field, turning the staff on the news station into giants in an instant.

"Please see, these giant screens are very clear, allowing viewers thousands of meters away to clearly see the situation on the news station. When the time comes, our Chairman Duke will explain it to everyone on the news station. The latest scholarship on spiritual arcana.”

 Because the live broadcast footage requires optical cables to transmit signals, the shuttle cannot fly to the audience stage, so the location host can only live broadcast around the dome hall.

While waiting for the press conference to begin, I explained the glorious history of the Supreme Tower of Arcana.

  Time flies by.

 In the light viewing platform screen, the exterior scene continues to play.

Seersas sat on the sofa, filled with emotion: "Even if I have seen it countless times, I will still admire the Ring of Light. Duke, I think the Ring of Light is the first to change the world. It has changed the world." Truly connected.”

Duke smiled and did not answer, but said: "Sir, are you sure you don't want to stand on the news stage in person and announce the Ring of Wisdom?"

 “No.”

“You proposed the Ring of Sky, so you really don’t want to go up there and show your face?”

"Haha, don't think that I am so shallow." Selsus snorted, "I have never experienced anything in my life. Now that I am about to reach four hundred years old, I have long given up my desire to be in the limelight. It's up to you young people to do it. Let’s be lively.”

“Since the boss is not willing, I won’t force it.”

“Then again, the big stage I have set up by you is countless times more popular than the simple live broadcast in the Duke Sage and Mage Tower?”

"The grandeur of a tower does not lie in the tower itself, but in the people in the tower." Duke smiled confidently, "Even if it is broadcast live in my mage tower, the light of the ring of wisdom will not be damaged at all... Of course, the sky The ring is really impressive.”

“Hehe, you are the best at bragging. I know you are very happy, so I must be secretly grateful to you for setting the stage for you.”

  “So be it.”

"What does it mean? If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not!" Thelsus said angrily.

Duke thought for a while and replied: "That's right."

 Then he almost got beaten.

Two people, an old man and a young man, had known each other for a long time. They joked with each other for a while in the Duke Sage Mage Tower. When they saw the light camera screen, the live broadcast scene was ready.

Seersus said: "Okay, it's time for you to go live. I'm going over too."

 After saying that, the figure scattered into dots of fluorescent light.

Duke did not hesitate, closed his eyes, and instantly activated the ocean replica ring that had been moved to the dome hall. This quasi-arcane device integrated with super forbidden ring technology buzzed and turned, and instantly condensed a virtual clone that was exactly the same as Duke. film.

 Ocean clone, five-ring level.

 Compared to Duke's real body, this clone is much weaker.

There is neither the sixth ring orbit nor the ninth ring orbit, nor the fourth ring sand eagle. There are only all the arcane wonders and arcane weapons on the first to fifth orbits. The combat effectiveness has dropped greatly, but it is not inferior to the ocean clones of other arcane mages.

On the contrary, the duration and the psychic power that can be called upon are stronger than other ocean clones.

"Mr. Duke." The chief director of the scene, seeing Duke appear, immediately trotted over, "There are five minutes left before the live broadcast starts. Do you want to review the script with the host? Or we can go through the cutscenes to help you familiarize yourself with the machine. Bit?"

 “No need.” Duke refused.

 In fact, all the structures of the entire Aufata Academic Conference Hall are stored in Xiaoyi's database. He has already simulated the position many times in the spiritual sea.

 You know which angle you should walk at to show your most handsome side.

The on-site chief director had no choice but to resign and direct others to work.

However, the host came over and said: "Mr. Duke."

The visitor is Alyssa Yue Falcon, Duke's exclusive host and the leading actress of the Seven Towers Optical Television Station. Although Alyssa Moon Falcon is not very outstanding in terms of arcane mage talent, she has been promoted to a second-level arcane mage after years of hard work.

In the future, Duke will try his best to help Alyssa Yue Falcon be promoted to a 3rd level arcane mage. At best, he can sneak in and become a 4th level arcane mage.

 “Are you not nervous?” Duke asked.

“Although the Offata Academic Conference is very large, the basic procedures are the same, so there is nothing to be nervous about.”

"That's good."

People were coming and going, and the two of them were embarrassed to reminisce about the past, so they chatted briefly.

Five minutes passed by in a flash, and Alyssa Yue Falcon, wearing a new set of arcane robes that showed off her curvy figure, stepped onto the news desk with high heels ticking.

"Friends in the audience in front of the optical machine, friends in the audience at the scene." Alyssa Yue Falcon smiled brightly at the camera in front of her, "What you are watching now is the Seven Towers Optical Station bringing you Come, Lord Duke, Councilor of the Stars, Chief Sage of Offa Tower, and Chairman of the Supreme Committee of Erudite Tower, the latest academic conference will be broadcast live."

 Every large screen on the large terrace plays the picture of Alyssa Moon Falcon in the form of a giant screen, and the surround sound effect fills the entire sky ring.

Everyone can hear Alyssa Moon Falcon's voice clearly, but it doesn't feel noisy, noisy, or deafening at all.

“Today is January 1, 4432 in the Storm Calendar. On the occasion of the renewal of all things, first of all, on behalf of the Seven Towers Observatory, I wish everyone in the world a healthy new year!”

 Finish the opening sentence.

  Alyssa Yue Falcon had no ink marks and said directly: "Okay, the live broadcast of the academic conference has officially begun! Next, let us invite the publisher of this academic conference, Mr. Duke!"

  Crash.

 The whole audience burst into unanimous applause, the sound was so loud that the entire Sky Ring shook.

Amid such strong applause, in the center of the terrace of the Dome Hall, Duke's figure slowly rose from the backstage on an elevator, and was finally level with the news desk.

　　哐哐哐!

The headlights that had been prepared for a long time were immediately lit, emitting a bright beam of light, shining on Duke, making Duke appear in the live broadcast camera in a brighter manner, and transmitted along the optical cable to all corners of the Wilderness Continent. Let everyone enjoy it together.

Facing the light and stepping down from the elevator, Duke came to Alyssa Yue Falcon and said hello calmly: "Hello everyone, I'm Duke."

　　Not as sharp as he used to be at press conferences, Duke now has a restrained and gentle temperament.

However, his aura as a star, a prophet, and the number one sage in the world, this invisible quality can appear in the light camera screen through the ring of light and faith, so that every audience can feel it secretly. Got some pressure.

That is the reverence one should have when facing authority, facing truth, and facing sages.

"Mr. Duke, your style is still the same." When Alyssa Yue Falcon smiled, her eyes almost narrowed into crescent moons. "In my memory, you have been busy with official duties and had many things to do in the past few years. You have not held an academic release for several years. Do you understand?"

Duke responded calmly: "Yes, the last time I held an academic conference was seven years ago when I released the Qi Refining Ring together with Franny Sanduck and Alston Lanhe."

“Time flies so fast, seven years have passed in a flash.”

"yes."

“So Duke, what are the academic results you are about to release today about?” Alyssa Yue Falcon got to the point.

 “The ring of wisdom.”

 “The Ring of Wisdom?” Alyssa Yue Falcon exclaimed, and then praised, “You have brought us another great achievement at the ring level!”

 Duke smiled slightly.

 Alyssa Yue Falcon faced the camera and said: "Then, let's give the time to Mr. Duke to witness the ring of wisdom that Mr. Duke has brought to us!"

 The rest of the crowd left.

 On the large terrace of the Dome Hall, Duke was alone.

There are more than a dozen aircrafts around, and red indicator lights are constantly flashing, indicating which aircraft are working and which ones are resting. Duke has rehearsed many times in the spiritual sea, and now he just needs to follow the steps.

"Twenty years ago, when I first embarked on the journey of spiritual arcana..." Duke spoke softly of his opening remarks, and then showed a knowing smile, "You know, I was just an ignorant person. I was an orphan in the countryside, and Little Sam Shouka Shop was my first stop into society.”

As soon as these words came out.

 Suddenly, there was a lot of laughter in the Sky Ring.

  Duke’s experience as an orphan is an inevitable opening line in almost every speech or press conference he makes. So much so that the whole world knew that he grew up in an orphanage in Snake Head Town, and then thought about everything in the little Sam Shouka shop.

“Haha, Sheshou Town is now Sheshou County.”

“I went to pay my respects to Little Sam’s card repair shop. Well, they still help people repair cards there. I also visited Duke’s former residence.”

“Little Sam Shouka’s is the real holy place. There are at least four of Lord Duke’s five rings. I started thinking about it from there.”

"I know the story, old Sam, Clinda, and Duke's prophet who just became an arcanist."

 “Continuous slurry supply technology, haha, this is Lord Duke’s first invention.”

 “What is the Ring of Wisdom?”

　　Not only did the Sky Ring hear gentle laughter, there were also many people smiling in front of the light cameras in thousands of households.

 In the twenty years since Duke entered the spiritual arcana, his story has penetrated into the hearts of everyone in the Wilderness Continent. Not only does the Seven Towers Federation present his story to all people in detail, but the same goes for foreign countries.

Even in the most distant Endless City, the people there have read the newspapers and learned about Duke’s life trajectory in detail from the newspapers.

 Sheshou Town, Little Sam Shouka Shop…

This is the starting point of the life path of the world's first sage, and it is also widely considered to be the birthplace of the spiritual age.

"I know, I know. It was the dim night in the orphanage that inspired the prophet Duke to invent the bright light technology, so we have the bright light bulbs we use now." An eight or nine-year-old child sat in his grandfather's arms Shouted, "Our teacher told us!"

This is an arcane mage family in the Sea Soul Empire. After the Ring of Light was introduced, one of the few families that can afford to install a light vision machine.

Grandpa hugged his eldest grandson and said with a smile: "Yes, this is an experience in the growth of Prophet Duke. It was because of this experience that he invented the strong light technology in the future."

“Grandpa, I will also invent...invent...invent many, many more!”

 “Good! You are ambitious and worthy of being my grandson!”

Grandpa and grandson continued to watch the light-emitting diode, and a familiar story was being teased by Duke in a relaxed and humorous way.

  After all, this is a story that everyone knows, and there is really no need to elaborate on it.

"When I was an apprentice at Little Sam's card repair shop, the fierce Best was always complaining loudly about the endless repair of spiritual cards... It was at that time that I thought, why can't I design a tool that can Machines replace manual labor to repair cards?”

On the optical machine, Duke talked eloquently: "You still know what happened next. I invented the Ring of Branding, realized the large-scale production of spirit cards, and drove down the price of spirit cards."

Looking at the picture, although the camera has been following Duke, you can still hear the background sounds and the knowing laughter from the Sky Ring audience.

"But what you don't know is that I never thought about using the Ring of Imprint to achieve all of this. I have a stronger ambition. I hope to have a tool that can replace the human brain and operate those complex instruments. .”

As soon as this statement came out, no one laughed anymore.

The Ring of Sky became quiet, with only Duke’s voice spreading in all directions, and the audience in front of the optical machine also sat upright.

The eldest grandson was still chirping, but grandpa shushed: "Be quiet for a while and listen to Prophet Duke."

"oh."

 The living room became quiet, with only the light machine buzzing.

"After twenty years of exploration, I have still been unable to complete such an idea, because the human brain is too complex and its wisdom is irreplaceable." Duke pointed to his brain, "But, why should I A one-to-one replica of the brain?”

 He ​​snapped his fingers, and a huge projection screen suddenly appeared behind him. On the screen was a huge "0" and a huge "1".

 This is a simple use of the illusion arcana.

 Duke stands between "0" and "1".

He glanced left and right, quietly walked towards Camera No. 3, where the live broadcast was being broadcast, looked at the camera, and said solemnly: "The complex calculations of the human brain, the complex calculations of the entire world, in fact, if you continue to simplify it, eventually, it will turn into The simplest multiple-choice question—yes or no.”

Turn around.

Pointing to "0" and "1", Duke said: "So I invented binary calculation, 0 represents no, 1 represents yes... Photons can pass through, which represents 1, photons cannot pass, which represents 0... Then we can use photons The connection and short circuit realize binary calculation..."

 The picture projected behind him gradually became more complicated.

  You can see an arithmetic rule, 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+1=10…0×0=0, 0×1=0, 1×1=1…

"You may not understand it well now, but you will have enough time to understand it in the future." Duke introduced the binary system, and with a wave of his hand, the screen projected behind him disappeared, "In short, I use the simplest and most stable binary calculation to The first step towards replacing the human brain."

 Then he waved his hand again.

 On the entire large terrace, countless green luminous symbols were instantly projected, all composed of dense "0"s and "1"s.

 Duke looked very small among them.

"With these 0s and 1s, I can use them to build a complex... virtual world..." Duke's gesture compressed all the 0s and 1s into an optical brain, "Then I put it into In a box."

 Waiting for the light and shadow of the illusion and arcana to dissipate, a real optical brain has appeared on the large terrace with the help of an elevator.

 It is boxy, somewhat similar to early home desktop computers on Earth.

However, this optical computer has two screens, one screen is used by Duke, and the other screen is pointed at the live broadcast camera for the audience to enjoy.

"This box is the symbol of the ring of wisdom - the optical brain, whose full name is photon computer." Duke tapped the keyboard, and the optical brain screen lit up instantly. "0 and 1 are the language of the optical brain. We need to make the optical brain operate. , then you need to press countless 0s and 1s, which will be a huge project..."

"But it doesn't matter. I led the team and went through countless explorations to compile 0 and 1 into a set of Tawen characters... and finally realized a high-level language, which I named 'Light Language'."

 From language to coding to software to operating systems, Duke did not say much. These contents are not only mysterious but also boring.

 There is no need to spend a long time at the press conference.

After just a brief introduction, Duke focused on the optical brain: "Shanghai Speaker Sirsas and I started cooperating as early as last year to explore the development of the optical brain... In the end we presented it and integrated the entire technology Named the Circle of Wisdom.”

 The audience at Sky Circle stared closely at the giant screen surrounding the large terrace.

 Many people are still ignorant about optical brains, but this does not prevent them from listening to Duke's explanation and realizing the possibility of optical brains.

As for the audience in front of the optical machine, most of them may not understand what an optical brain is.

 This is a brand new thing and a brand new understanding.

"Grandpa, what is a light brain? It looks like a lot of fun." The eldest grandson of Master Huao's family in the Sea Soul Empire asked confused.

Grandpa was just an old level 1 arcane mage, and he was also unclear about this, but he said calmly: "Look slowly, Guang Nao, this is the ring of wisdom... When your parents come back, let me They will explain it to you carefully.”

he thinks.

 My son and daughter-in-law are both arcane mages, and they both work in government-sponsored research institutions. They should be able to understand what an optical brain is at the first time.

Moreover, the Seven Towers Federation rarely blocks technology on spiritual arcana. As long as you can afford it, all technologies can be purchased. You can even pay for arcane mages from the Seven Towers Federation to travel thousands of miles to teach them relevant techniques. technology.

For example, in the Ring of Light, the Sea Soul Empire spent an astronomical amount of wealth to invite a star from the Seven Towers Federation to go to their country to preside over the construction.

This is how optical cameras are available that can watch many programs.

“Grandpa, is Prophet Duke really a giant of light?” The eldest grandson suddenly raised a question, “The teacher said that Prophet Duke is a giant of light.”

 “Ah, that’s true.” Grandpa thought for a while and nodded affirmatively.

Light vision machines, lightsabers, light brains, rings of light, optical disks, strong light technology...these lights are undoubtedly giants of light.

“But the teacher also said that Prophet Duke is a spiritual incarnation.”

"There is no conflict. Prophet Duke is both a spiritual incarnation and a giant of light."

 “Then is he still a sage?”

“Yes, he is the leading sage in the history of spiritual arcana!” Grandpa answered without any hesitation this time.

“Wow, how can he be so powerful? A sage, a spiritual incarnation, a giant of light... He wants to be a sage too, and I want to be a sage too!”

Looking at the innocent expression of his eldest grandson, the grandfather shook his head: "Stop talking, just look at the light."

 In the optical machine, the live broadcast of the press conference continues.

"Many people may not realize what the Ring of Wisdom is, or in other words, what can this small optical brain bring and change?" Duke tapped on the keyboard, and the optical brain screen A battleship design drawing appeared on the screen.

 It is not that sophisticated, just a simple simulation design software.

 Duke operates the design tool to modify various parameters of the battleship, and then the battleship continues to change its appearance as the parameters change.

The live broadcast lens is aimed at the optical screen, presenting the battleship design process to every audience.

"With the optical brain, we no longer need to design complicated drawings by hand." Duke said calmly while designing the shape of the battleship. "The most boring R&D and design process in mankind has become a line of work with the arrival of the optical brain. Simple code.”

 Finished.

He smiled and sublimated the line: "This is just a small design and R&D capability, but behind it, it represents countless worlds under your control..."

With another snap of the fingers, the arcane magic of the illusion was cast, and the projections of countless optical computers appeared on the large terrace. On every optical computer, there is a scrolling screen, or it is playing a phantom video, or it is playing a video chat, or it is playing this live broadcast conference...

Duke stood up, walked to the live broadcast camera, and said calmly: "The ring of wisdom will give everyone an independent world. Here, you can dig and explore to your heart's content, from light to brain Start from the middle of the world and change the world!"
