377. Haltham Comes
With Rena leading the way, Sean and Dante quickly left the Lord's Mansion and walked towards what appeared to be a warehouse-like building.
But on the way, Dante had already noticed that the number of guards on the streets around the warehouse was obviously abnormal, and the closer he got to the street of the warehouse, the more heavily guarded he became, and there were even checkpoints at the two intersections near the warehouse.
"This place is very important at the moment and it is the key to turning the tide of the battle." As if to see the confusion in Dante's eyes, Sean explained, "Of course, this is actually an experiment. β¦β¦ However, anything that can be called an epoch-making product must be accompanied by countless experiments, and we are the guinea pigs of the historical evolution of this world. β
"Mice?" Dante was a little confused.
"Oh, it's the creature that magicians often use in their experiments." Sean forgot that there were no experimental creatures like mice in this world, so he casually rebent.
"Then this creature must be very powerful and terrifying." Dante said with some sighs, although he didn't know what a mouse was, but as long as it involved the magician's magic experiment of living creatures, none of his experimental subjects were docile, and they were usually all kinds of terrible magical beasts.
"Pretty much." Sean said with some embarrassment.
"Lord Sean is really knowledgeable." Looking at Sean's expression, Dante thought that Sean was being modest, so he praised it very sincerely.
In the young knight, the eight spirits of the knight are simply vividly deduced.
In this way, it made Sean even more embarrassed, even if what he said was indeed not wrong, but the word "knowledgeable" is really difficult to have anything to do with him, of course, outsiders will not understand.
So in a very delicate atmosphere. Dante, Sean, and Rena soon crossed the line of defense and arrived in front of the warehouse.
Standing outside the door of the warehouse, you can hear bursts of extremely subtle sounds coming out continuously, but the sources of these sounds are very mixed, and it is obvious that they are not coming from a fixed sound source, but from a variety of completely different sound sources.
Rena knocked softly on the door.
Soon, the side door of the warehouse gate was opened, and a roaring explosion came from the warehouse in an instant, and the deafening noise made the two high-ranking gold peak powerhouses except Sean frown in an instant. It is clear that this noise interference has been able to affect the hearing of these two people in essence. On the contrary, Sean, who is not as strong as these two, has not been affected much.
Sean leads the way into the warehouse, followed by Dante and Rena.
When the side door of the warehouse was closed, the entire interior of the warehouse immediately lit up with a golden yellow light. These golden rays of light enveloped the interior walls, domes, and floors of the entire warehouse, intricately intertwining with each other, making it look like a large and sophisticated magic array. As for what the function of this magic array is for, the people present don't even need to think about it. Just look at it and you can see it at a glance.
A large silent magic array!
And it was this large magic array. Only then did they completely isolate the inside and outside of the warehouse into two completely different worlds.
The interior of the warehouse, apparently remodeled and reorganized, has been emptied of all the shelves that should have been lined up, and here is a group of sturdy workers with naked upper bodies. Workers like this are usually common in harbor cities, but they can also be found in cities where trade is more frequent, and in cities like Void City, where trade has ceased completely. It's really not easy to find such a porter, and it's a shame that Sean can still find nearly a hundred.
As the workers stacked the metal components that had already been made on the ground, they would be surrounded by Templars of Wisdom in white scholar's robes holding the blueprints and making minor adjustments to the designs, and once they saw their nods. A magician would come forward to magically link and connect the components, and once this work was done, the more complete parts of the metal components that had been joined together would glow with a pale golden glow.
Dante even saw a huge strange machine in operation: it was constantly cutting through some metal and then cutting it into pieces of different shapes. Whenever a piece of structure is cut out, the pieces are immediately removed, and the mages who have been waiting for a long time come forward to induce the magic, and then hand them over to some dwarves who look like they should be blacksmiths to carry out the final grinding and polishing processes.
This is where the loud noise that everyone heard before came from.
This warehouse looks like a secret arsenal, and it is no wonder that such a loud noise needs a large silent magic array as shelter, otherwise it can be heard even if you stand outside the Void City.
"It's ......," Dante said, looking surprised.
"Teleportation Array Type 1." A middle-aged man in a silver-patterned white robe walked towards Sean and the others with a calm face, and after hearing Dante's words, he replied with a smile, "This is still the name given by His Excellency Sean." β
"Isn't my name supposed to be the first machine?" Sean asked rhetorically.
"The first machine of the teleportation array, no matter how you hear it, I feel very awkward, so I changed the name to Type 1." The middle-aged man with silver hair smiled, "But the name of the teleportation array is indeed the name you gave it." I have to say, it's a lot smoother than the name we old guys came up with. β
Sean smiled.
Coming from the future, he naturally knew very well that the official name of the teleportation array in the game was very long, so long that all players didn't bother to remember it, so he naturally called it the teleportation array in private.
A fitting and catchy name.
As for the current "first type", Sean thought with his toes and knew that this was probably the second-generation magic technology product developed from the prototype.
"Hello, I'm Jelles. Cassain. The silver-haired middle-aged old man said his name with a smile, and he didn't say anything else, but his relaxed freehand that can talk and laugh freely even in front of the top golden peak powerhouse is already the best self-expression.
"Hello, I'm ......"
"I know you." Yelais smiled, "Silverflame Falcon Knight. Dante. I've heard before that you're a loner. β
"Yes, before Master Florence saved me."
Jeles wasn't really interested in Dante's past or anything else, all he was interested in was the teleportation array that was being assembled right now. So after hearing Dante's words, Yeles turned his head to look at Sean again, and said, "Pache is ready, as soon as our side is assembled, we can start teleporting immediately, but are you sure you want to participate in person?" β
Sean knew that experiments like this would definitely come with a certain amount of sacrifice. Originally, the popularity of the teleportation array should be in a later era, at least not what it should be now, but it was only because of his appearance that the evolution of magic technology was advanced, which naturally led to the early appearance of the teleportation array. However, although this epoch-making technological product appeared in advance, any technology or magic was born in the magical world. It is bound to be accompanied by a certain degree of "sacrifice", and only truly safe and feasible operations. will be officially popularized on the mainland.
Now. The teleportation array is just an epoch-making magical technology product led by Haythami, and the number of experiments is very small, at least as far as Sean knows, no live tests have been carried out so far. Therefore, it can be said that this teleportation actually has a very high risk of death, and this is the reason why William tried his best to oppose it before.
Sean didn't know that the real test of the Dao Teleportation Array was successful in the first few experiments, but he didn't have time to wait. So he can only gamble.
Bet on his luck as always, and bet on the lucky necklace he got in the Wild Lands to really bring him good luck.
Because only if this operation is successful, he can completely end the war in the southern theater in a short time, otherwise this war will drag on for a very long time. Even if the final victory will still be his. But he didn't dare to guarantee that Asuna would be able to hold out in the southeast theater for that long.
"Yes, I'm sure." Sean nodded, "There are two reasons, the first is that I really don't have a choice, and I have to fight this war quickly." The second is that the development of history must be accompanied by a sacrifice, and if I could, I would be happy to be this victim. β
Seeing Sean's attitude so resolute, Yeles also nodded and said no more.
After all, he is a scientific researcher at the Haytham Institute, so he is very indifferent to this attitude of choosing to sacrifice for the sake of experiments, so when Sean has a firm belief, of course he will not dissuade him again. It's just that if Sean really had an accident this time, then of course he would feel sorry afterwards, after all, Sean is very valuable in his eyes and his mentor Bony.
It is precisely because of this that Bony will try to give Sean a little support for his decision against public opinion.
Even if this support will evolve into a ...... in the current war
Cheating.
Because many important and delicate teleportation array components had been made before arriving here, it didn't take long for Sean and the others to hear the news that the teleportation array had been built and could be activated at any time after arriving here.
"I have to tell you some of the principles of the teleportation array." Seeing that Sean and the others had already made preparations, Yeles spoke again, "At present, although our decipherment of that design is quite smooth, there are many places that are actually quite vague, at least in the current situation, we can only teleport living people, and other things cannot be teleported. β
"What about metal?"
"Strictly speaking, only creatures with the characteristics of a living body can teleport." Yeles spoke, "Anything else will eventually disappear if it is teleported. I've discussed this with Pache and the others in charge of the project, and there are two theories, the first is that these items can't be accurately located and transmitted through the guidance of magic, so they are all lost in the void; The other is...... was broken down. β
"Either of these two answers is really hard to like." Sean's brow furrowed slightly.
Because if according to Yeles, then Rena's luxurious equipment would not be able to be brought over, and the same Dante would not be able to use his demonized spear, which would be a discount on the combat effectiveness of both of them who belonged to the knights.
Although Sean had long known that the current teleportation array was completely different from the one in the game he rememberedβat least the teleportation array in the game was not as big as the one in front of him, and he never lost the player's equipment when teleporting. If there's one thing that's the only thing it's the same, it's that the teleportation fee is also very expensive.
"At present, our teleportation technology is not very mature, but the only advantage is that it is relatively stable."
"Compare ......?"
"Yes." With the expression of an academic researcher on his face, Yeles said very seriously, "Compared to when we first teleported, the teleported creatures often lost some of their bodies inexplicably, the current technique is indeed much more mature. The specific method is to cut an area of the void, and then use magic power to maintain the stability of this void, prevent the interference and destruction of the void turbulence, and finally release it against the known coordinates. β
"Okay." Sean sighed helplessly, "So are you sure that we won't lose a certain part of our body after we put it in the past now?" β
"With the current technique, we can already maintain the spatial area within a range of two meters high and a radius of three meters, so it's no problem to teleport four or five people." Yeles thought for a moment, and then spoke.
Of course, if he hadn't added the last sentence, then Sean would still be happier.
Because, the last thing he added was-
"Probably ......" (To be continued......
