Because the two most important cosmological constants, the speed of light and the gravitational constant, correspond exactly to each other, this should not be just a coincidence.
"Since the Moon Goddess Diana also ruled this continent, why couldn't we collect any information about her before?" Raphael said thoughtfully. Even if Diana's divine empire disappeared, there would always be a large number of ruins.
"I think it's because Ella won the war of faith and ruled the continent, and then she consciously erased the evidence of the other party's existence," Harof responded.
So they also need to do the same thing, which is to eradicate the church’s faith foundation in the empire!
This might be the key to killing the opponent, or at least weakening his power!
During the discussion among several people, Lin En also came back to his senses. Now is not the time to think about whether there is alien civilization.
Although the cause of death of the fallen Moon God is unknown, this Eternal Star has not been threatened from the starry sky during the hundreds of years of the Church's rule, so the possibility of them rashly encountering an attack should be low.
The biggest threat now is Ella who escaped to the other side of the space-time gate.
Thinking of this, Lin En took out the plan he had prepared long ago, which contained his plan to mass-produce wizards...
Chapter 500: The magic network system, creating a magical civilization with one wizard per capita!
What is a wizard?
So far, the parliament has not been able to come up with an accurate definition of it, but generally speaking, people who have the talent to control magic, master the rules through learning and apply them are called wizards.
It is not an easy task to train a formal wizard. The talent alone can eliminate a large number of people, and the average training time is more than ten years!
Such great restrictions coupled with a long period of time make it difficult to increase the number of wizards.
The entire parliament and the wizards in the empire together have less than 20,000 people.
Lynn's plan to mass-produce wizards is to develop a new system for promoting wizards, breaking through the limitations of talent so that all poor people can get the opportunity to become wizards simply by learning and accumulating knowledge.
"Let poor people with no magical talent become wizards? How is that possible?" After listening to Lin En's plan to mass-produce wizards, all the congressmen felt a little unbelievable.
"Why not?" Lynn asked back.
"How can they cast magic without magic power? Relying solely on the shallow mental strength of a poor man, I'm afraid he can't even condense the most basic zero-ring spell." A tall and thin wizard questioned.
"Then why not just give them magic power and help these people condense spell slots?!" Lin En responded casually.
"Nonsense!" The tall and thin wizard was so angry that he almost fainted.
Give them magic power? How? This thing is not like bread that can be digested after eating.
Not to mention such outrageous things as helping others condense spell slots.
Although this magic star always had some amazing ideas in the past, at least they were somewhat logical. This time it can no longer be described as "amazing", it is simply whimsical. According to this, doesn't everyone can become a wizard?
Even great wizards like Raphael and Arad, who were familiar with Lin En, frowned after hearing this.
Lin En was quite helpless, he had written down the specific plans in the planning document, but people rushed to give suggestions without even reading them all, so he could only shake his head.
"It's certainly possible. In fact, my initial experiments have been successful!"
Seeing that Lin En was very confident and even said that there were initial results, the originally noisy conference room immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at the magic star with doubt.
"Are you talking about Lydia?" Aurora's mind moved, and she quickly guessed who Lin En was referring to.
Of course, the congressmen present also knew who Lydia was.
He is the only halfling wizard in the entire magic kingdom!
He is also the disciple of Lin En, the Magic Star, the creator of new weapons, airships and fighter jets, and is quite famous throughout the parliament!
As we all know, halflings have no talent for magic, but Lydia passed the school's assessment and was able to cast magic successfully.
Raphael and others had previously thought that this was an exception. After all, it was not impossible for a race to have one or two geniuses.
It was not until now that Speaker Aurora mentioned it that everyone realized that Lydia was able to become a wizard probably because of the experiment that Lin En mentioned!
After realizing this, more and more wizards began to pay attention to and look through the plans in their hands, and Lin En also began to explain.
"I think many of you must have read the [Analysis and Research Report on Divine Energy]. The magic network system I created was based on the divine system of that false god..."
The clergy of the church are different from wizards. They do not need to learn knowledge. Even the magic power in their bodies is bestowed by [Ella]. What they need to do every day is to train their spirits through specific prayer rituals and increase their piety to the Lord.
Only cardinals and higher-ranking officials need to possess psychic talents. Ordinary priests and bishops are ordinary people with devout faith who can take on this role.
Lynn's magic network system is certainly not measured by faith, but by knowledge!
In his vision, the citizens of the empire could enter the Civilian Academy to study the most basic courses such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and spell configuration. Those who successfully passed the assessment would be eligible to be included in the magic network. With the help of the internal computing power and the knowledge mastered in the academy, they could condense spell positions in the sea of consciousness and become a glorious wizard apprentice.
Then he will need to continue to enter the advanced wizard academy to study more advanced courses. After graduation, the magic network will open up higher computing power permissions for him, and he will be able to use some low-level spells like a formal wizard.
This is the limit. Just like the divine magic system, an ordinary person without any talent can only reach this limit after a lifetime of hard work. It is difficult for him to reach the level of a great wizard or a cardinal.
Of course, the possibilities in the magical world are endless. If someone can continue to improve and enhance the efficiency of meditation, there may be the possibility of further improvement.
As for those students who cannot pass the assessment, they naturally have to give up. If they cannot even master the basic knowledge, it means they are not suitable to become wizards. They can transform themselves into skilled workers or something. Anyway, there is a shortage of people everywhere now.
Lynn’s explanation was very detailed, and with Ella’s divine system in mind, it was easy to understand.
If the church concentrates the computing power of all believers on Ella and exploits her, then the magic network is a platform for mutual assistance, where everyone shares a part of the computing power and supplies it to the terminal, so that people who originally could not cast spells can now cast spells.
Obviously, the key thing inside is the magic network that serves as a terminal to gather computing power.
This was the only information that Lin En concealed, and no one objected to it.
Because the new magic tricks that are researched belong to the wizard's personal wealth. Unless the other party is willing to publish the principles themselves, no one has the right to ask him to share them.
"Will this really work?" Harof couldn't help but frown. In Ella's divine magic system, believers can only be providers of computing power. Although priests and bishops can also release divine magic through their connection with God, they are few in number after all, so the strategy is to use the majority to support the minority.
Lin En wants everyone connected to the magic network to become a spellcaster. If everyone uses computing power to cast spells, wouldn’t that be chaos?
"The magic network itself possesses enormous computing power. It is the result of my research on consciousness with my colleagues in the [Arcane Society]. In addition, we can formulate corresponding rules and regulations, such as limiting the number of spells cast per day..." Lin En explained calmly. Of course, he had also considered this issue.
On weekdays, the magic network assists these "wizards" in casting spells. When necessary, he can call on the computing power of these people to increase his own power, so that each can get what he needs...
"Won't there be a problem with the poison of faith?" Raphael asked hesitantly.
"They don't need to believe in anyone, so where does the poison of faith come from?" Arad retorted before Lin En could speak.
Lin En smiled but did not reply. To be honest, there was no trouble with faith, but with the computing power of so many people combined, even a legendary wizard might not be able to bear the complicated thoughts and distractions. This was the significance of the intelligent brain.
"Since this is an imitation of the divine magic system, is it possible to directly impart magic through some means like the priests of the church?" Tik suddenly thought of this.
The congressmen present also looked at Lin En expectantly.
Constructing spell slots is not an easy task. If this is possible, it means that they can learn any magic easily.
"Of course you can, but what we need is not a group of cannon fodder who cast low-level magic." Lin En shrugged. What he really wanted to train were magic researchers and senior workers in cutting-edge fields!
Constructing spell slots is an excellent way to train your mental strength, and it is also a test of the correctness of your own knowledge and theories. It is an irreplaceable step.
The congressmen's questions were raised one after another. The magic network system proposed by Lin En completely overturned everyone's cognition, making many people feel somewhat unacceptable.
The voices of opposition and support each accounted for half.
Some people think this is a good way to enhance the overall strength of the parliament and increase the number of wizards, while others question its dangers. Aggregating the computing power of so many people will lead to some unpredictable risks...
There are also people who are totally opposed to it and veto the implementation of the magic network. They believe that people who rely on external forces to cast spells are not wizards at all, and are a blasphemy against magic!
There were many more voices of opposition than Lin En had imagined. He naturally knew the reason. Such a promotion system infringed on the interests of existing wizards.
In the past, those who could become official wizards were all chosen by heaven, and even apprentices were considered superior to others. Talent determined everything. But now, even ordinary people without magical talent have the possibility of becoming wizards after serious study. It is inevitable that they feel a little unbalanced.
Lin En naturally had a solution, and he immediately laughed. "In fact, this magic network system is not only beneficial to ordinary poor people, but also has a great effect on wizards."
"Senator Gordon, if I remember correctly, you have been stuck in the third-ring wizard realm for more than ten years, right?" Lin En looked at the most vehemently opposed congressman and said playfully. "In my opinion, the possibility of you breaking through to the great wizard in this lifetime is very small."
Hearing this, the wizard named Gordon's face suddenly darkened, but he was unable to refute it because he himself was very clear about this fact.
Three years ago, he had exhausted all his financial resources in the ceremony to become a great wizard, but failed. He barely managed to escape with half his life, and he still suffers from psychological trauma.
Lin En didn't just say this to mock him, he quickly explained another function of the magic net.
People like Gordon who have reached the limit of a three-ring wizard can, with the help of the magic network, temporarily break through the current level of mental power and feel a higher level of power in advance, thereby greatly increasing the possibility of promotion.
The reason why he upgraded so quickly was definitely due to the computing power of the intelligent brain!
"Are you sure, Speaker Lin?" Tik stood up from his seat excitedly.
There were countless congressmen who were as shocked as Tick. Even Gordon, who had just been ridiculed, didn't care about the little conflict at this moment. He stared at Lin En with red eyes. There were too many wizards who were trapped in the realm of great wizards and could not be promoted!
If becoming a formal wizard is one hurdle, then becoming a great wizard is another. Now the number of wizards in the parliament has exceeded 20,000, but there are not even a hundred great wizards!
"I'm sure." Lin En nodded, and then poured cold water on everyone. "But the magic net can only allow people to experience the realm of a fourth-ring wizard to a limited extent, and it can't help you directly advance."
"That's enough!" Tik said firmly.
The other congressmen were also extremely excited. They were very sure that they were only a small step away from becoming great wizards, and the magic network could make up for the gap for them!
Lin En just smiled at this idea. It was just like winning the lottery. After he increased the probability of winning, everyone thought that they would definitely be the lucky one!
The redemption of interests is obviously more effective than any words!
After Lin En explained another use of the magic network, the attitudes of the congressmen who had originally opposed the mass production of wizards immediately changed 180 degrees.
The three speakers did not participate in the previous discussion, but read Lynn's plan very carefully.
This plan is beneficial to wizards of almost every level. Apprentices can directly become official wizards with the help of the computing power of the magic network, and three-ring wizards can use it to increase the probability of being promoted to great wizards.
And the great wizards rely on the computing power of the magic network, which will make it easier for them to be promoted to legends and shape their bodies of energy and magic in the future.
"Apart from the unknown risks, I can't think of any reason to reject it." Harof was the first to express his opinion. Although this method was a replica of the divine magic system, it was much gentler to implement.
"I personally agree with this plan. If the magic power and the Moon God really come from the other side of the space-time gate, it will definitely be a huge threat." Aurora said worriedly.
Just as Lin En said, they must have the ability to produce wizards in large quantities and continuously in order to cope with the increasingly complex situation that will follow.
"I think we can conduct some preliminary trials, and if there are no problems, we can consider large-scale implementation." Vittorio was relatively cautious, but still agreed.
With the statements made by the three speakers and the strong support of nearly 95% of the members, the plan to promote the magic network was passed without any surprise.
The corner of Lynn's mouth curled up into a smile.
You have to know that the empire has a population of 20 million. Assuming that one twentieth of them are of appropriate age and pass the assessment to join the system, that would be one million users of the Magic Network!
Such a huge computing power may be able to take his mental power to a whole new level.
Of course, this is a plan for the next three to five years. The construction of magic base stations and the popularization of knowledge will take a lot of time.
What can be achieved in the short term is to integrate the computing power of 20,000 wizards within the empire.
By then, Ella will possess godhood, and he will control the intelligent brain and the magic network, so a battle may be possible!
