Chapter 487 Magicians’ Technology
There are magicians in the empire. Purficott has always known this, and magicians are still active in the empire. In addition to maintaining the constant temperature barrier of the palace, court magicians In addition, it will also undertake the security work of Langton City and the Royal Palace at the same time, specifically responsible for handling some matters that cannot be handled by conventional security methods.
If it were placed two hundred years ago, the palace magicians of the empire would undoubtedly be very powerful and noble beings, because they did have the strength to repel an army by one person.
But with the decline of mystery, the entire world has gradually become an environment with low magic or even no magic. The popularity of alchemy and the development of science and technology have made magicians obsolete by the times. Old antique.
The royal magicians still maintain their ancient duties, and the best among them still hold the distinguished title of court magician, but that's all.
Magic has not spread to all aspects of the empire like alchemy, nor has it been integrated with modern technology.
Coupled with the fact that learning magic is far more difficult than alchemy, the decline of magicians can be imagined due to the difficulty of inheritance.
But this group of magicians obviously will not admit this. They have been desperately trying to maintain their mystery and dignity, creating an image of magic that is unattainable to ordinary people.
However, in fact, magic has become dispensable to the empire.
Alchemy can do most of the things that magic can do. Even if there are some things that cannot be achieved, they belong to the category of very advanced or powerful magic.
As for this part of magic, let alone replacing it with alchemy, even the magician himself can hardly release it.
Under such circumstances, the magicians look more and more like a group of old-fashioned relics who are stuck in their own small circle to entertain themselves and have high self-esteem.
This also leads to the fact that Purficott has very little contact with magicians, and it can almost be said that there is no intersection.
After all, she is the most famous alchemist in the empire. The relationship between magicians and alchemists cannot be said to be that they never know each other, but it can only be regarded as that they don't know each other when they meet.
Under such circumstances, although the empire center once issued an invitation to these magicians, inviting them to join the plan to deal with the doomsday crisis, the magicians did not join due to various reasons.
There was absolutely no such thing as the magicians trying to gain control of the plan, the magicians trying to spend huge resources to build large magic towers to accommodate a small population and abandoning most of the empire's people, and there were no magicians being forced by the empire. The center and the aristocracy were squeezed out.
In short, the magicians who had learned from the painful experiences finally came to the church with shameful eyes after the church was invited by Perfectcott to join her plan, saying that they could also provide some help. .
The church is not very disgusted with magicians. Although the church has engaged in witch hunting campaigns for a while in the past, it was not initiated by the church itself, but was organized and executed by the secular world.
Although later the church was also really using the witch hunting movement to track down cults, witches and other shady things, magicians were rarely involved.
So generally speaking, the relationship between the church and the magicians is pretty good, so after the magicians expressed their willingness to cooperate, the church asked them to try to repair a newly renovated building in Langton. Church tries. There is nothing much to say about the church itself. It is just an ordinary community church. After digging out the underground, strengthening the church itself, and building an energy tower, the church has become a small shelter, accommodating about three thousand people from the surrounding community. Residents around here live here.
The magicians sent by the Magic Association did not interfere with other matters. After they figured out the operating mechanism of the energy tower, they tried to use the energy released by the energy tower to drive the magic circle and barrier. This creates a constant temperature barrier that can cover a certain range.
This can be considered one of the major research results of the Magic Association over the years, and it was even a research project led by Endymion, the previous president of the Magic Association.
However, as the four of them suffered backlash, President Endymion's whereabouts were unknown like the other three. The Magic Association subsequently collapsed, and this research was shelved for many years.
In the past few years, after learning about the coming apocalypse, the magicians acted calmly on the surface, but in fact, secretly, they had almost destroyed the association’s archives and library. Digging through the trash, trying to find a way to cope with the coming apocalypse.
Spending a lot of resources to build a mage tower is a bad idea that they came up with, but they have to admit that the mage tower can indeed resist the effects of the doomsday winter, but this thing is too resource-intensive.
As for how expensive it is? You only need to look at the fact that the capital of the Victoria Empire does not have a mage tower until now, and you can understand how much resources this thing requires.
To put it simply, even if there is no such thing as the Doomsday Winter, with the economic strength of the Victoria Empire at its peak, if you want to build a Mage Tower Empire, you will have to go bankrupt.
So many of the magicians’ ideas were rejected. Finally, they dug out the research of the previous president from the pile of old papers. After some sorting and research, they finally perfected this technology. Non-magic energy sources can be used to support the operation of magic circles and barriers.
But the only problem is that they cannot find such a large sustainable energy source that can support the operation of the magic circle and barrier.
Until the magicians cooperated with the church and saw the energy tower built in the church.
The magicians applied various magic runes on the energy tower to construct a magic array with a constant temperature barrier, and used their technology to use the energy tower as the energy source of the magic array.
So after a small energy tower is activated, part of the heat emitted by it will be converted into the magic array, thus opening a constant temperature barrier with a radius of 500 meters, increasing the temperature within the barrier Can always stay above zero.
The constant temperature barrier is like a barrier that blocks heat exchange, so that the heat emitted by the energy tower is always enveloped within a radius of 500 meters and will not escape.
This technology undoubtedly aroused Purficott's interest, because if this technology can be rolled out, in addition to building shelters underground, buildings can also be built on the ground.
It also reduces the heat dissipation of the energy tower, which is also very helpful for saving energy.
Of course the most important thing is that the constant temperature barrier can be treated in this way, but what about other magic circles and barriers?
