The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 409
Chapter 409
“Did you just finish this?”
At Lotwin’s words, Harriet nodded calmly.
“ah… … . yes.”
“Princess, it’s not a matter to talk about so simply. The Grand Duchess has now changed the history of the warp gate, and through it, has changed the history of the continent.”
“ah… … . is that so?”
Lothar Dewin made a fuss, but Harriet didn’t really realize it.
“The Grand Duchess has solved a conundrum that many warp gate theorists have given up on. You can rejoice a little more!”
Entering the quiet reading room, Dewin’s voice resounded. It was a reaction so intense that it felt a bit different from his usual calm tension, but Harriet didn’t really feel it.
It was by no means an easy problem, so I studied it in my spare time, but I managed to solve it. That was just about it.
“It’s not like the Grand Duchess doesn’t know what success she has had, right?”
“yes? ah… … . If the imaginary dimension map is reestablished as it is, instead of going through the warp gate several times to reach the destination, you can move from the small gate at the northern end of the continent to the small gate at the southern end of the continent at once… … . Isn’t that how it works?”
“You know it well, so why aren’t you surprised?”
“… … .”
Harriet was about to say something, but kept her mouth shut.
It’s not because I’m not great, it’s because I was almost told that I had been operating the warp gate too stupidly up to now.
Harriet couldn’t bear to say that, as it would be disrespectful to all the wizards in history who have built this system.
And I couldn’t say why I couldn’t do this until now for the same reason.
As with almost all technological advances, Harriet conceived from discomfort.
The warp gate system guarantees enormous convenience, but in the end, there are also inconveniences.
It is easy to understand if you think that small warp gates have a range of 1, medium warp gates have a range of 2, large warp gates have a range of 3, and super large warp gates have a range of 4.
Warp gates are connected to all warp gates within range, so a super-large warp gate is bound to be connected to a very large number of warp gates.
So, the super-large warp gate was basically connecting all continents by building another super-large warp gate at the end of the range.
However, there is a chronic problem with this method, which is that you have to go in and out of the gate several times to travel a very long distance. Since all places on the continent are not connected like the intersection of super-large warp gates, sometimes you have to pass through small and medium-sized gates in succession.
To move from the ecliptic Gradium to a base town at the southern end of Kernstadt, go to the ecliptic extra-large warp gate → Kernstadt extra-large warp gate → regional large warp gate → from there, another base medium-sized warp gate → destination small warp gate.
It has to move in this way. This is a very extreme case, but it is not necessarily non-existent.
That’s why in large warp gates where people inevitably gather, bottlenecks were bound to occur as they do now, and it was the same that there were queues at large warp gates at bases.
The fact that Reinhardt and Ellen’s imperial coat of arms is a warp gate free pass brings huge time benefits because of the warp gate system’s transit point structure.
However, Harriet ran into a fundamental question that she couldn’t understand why the warp gates, which were connected like a spider’s web, had to be lowered and re-entered in the middle.
Rather than arriving at the warp gate transit point and getting off, isn’t it possible to directly use the connected dimensional gateway and go directly to the destination without going through transfers?
Harriet pointed out why the warp gates weren’t operated that way, and Lotwin’s answer was simple.
It’s because you’ve been doing it until now.
Of course, this involves a number of problems that are difficult to express with words alone.
The warp gate did not suddenly fall from the sky and connect all the continents, but it went through test runs in turn and was completed little by little until it became its current form. In other words, the basic system was created without any intention of connecting all continents from the beginning, but somehow all continents were connected.
The map of the imaginary dimension used for the direct connection of the warp gate was also slowly completed in that way, so the complex structure was a lump of system built by countless wizards over hundreds of years.
It was a problem that inevitably occurred as it was a system in which many people participated.
When it comes to road construction, someone builds a route with a straight line, someone with a curve, someone with an elliptical structure, and someone with a spiral rotation structure. Each of them built it in their own way.
Each wizard drew a map in their own way, and it was used as it is, and later, it was impossible to fix it, and if you touched it carelessly, the warp gate system was all broken.
After maintenance after maintenance, rule-of-thumb magic theories and magic formulas were added, and the imaginary dimension map and warp gate-based system was like a huge pile of shit. Maintenance was possible, but improvement was impossible, so there was no choice but to maintain the current form and use method.
That’s why many warp gate engineers couldn’t make improvements because Harriet didn’t have an idea. I have to do crazy things like understanding all the structures of the imaginary dimension that have been built up for over a hundred years, redrawing the map of the imaginary dimension of the warp gate that connects all continents from scratch, and revamping the basic operation of the warp gate.
But Harriet did it.
Even when she was shocked by the news that Reinhardt was getting engaged, she whimpered alone, saying that it was difficult because she couldn’t concentrate.
To put it simply.
Harriet made a tiny warp gate, which was no different from a junk in a provincial town, function like a giant warp gate in front of the Templar Knights or the imperial palace.
no more than that
Super-large warp gates have a range, but if you actually apply the map of the imaginary dimension envisioned by Harriot, you can move directly to all warp gates belonging to the common range where the warp gate system is built.
In other words, it means that you can move anywhere on the continent even if you can’t go to the Edina Archipelago, where the local independent small-scale warp gate system has been built.
“You can be a bit more happy, Grand Duchess!”
“Even if you say so… … .”
Did you say that sadness is the driving force for growth?
This magical genius changed history while scribbling in his notebook while whimpering in his room because it didn’t work out with the girl he liked.
In conclusion, as long as Heriot’s new warp gate-based system and the imaginary dimension map were properly operated, the warp gate operation problems that had existed so far were to be solved at once. Of course, since it cannot be applied immediately, the stability must be verified in the hands of experts through trial and error, such as verification and pilot operation.
It was as if Harriet had already achieved a feat that no archmage could achieve.
Harriet knew this was a very important research achievement, but it wasn’t that difficult for him, so he couldn’t understand the excitement of Lothar Dewin.
So, a natural conclusion.
‘I’m a genius… … .’
Harriet suddenly realized.
“It would have been fun if I had known the Grand Duchess sooner.”
“?”
Lothar Dewynn’s words, as expected, gave Harriet a strange sense of incongruity.
This person is somehow strange today, different from usual.
Harriet felt a strange strange feeling, but did not yet know what it was.
“Looking at the wisdom that the Grand Duchess has, you’re on the verge of becoming shabby. Now, the next research material is here.”
When Harriet seemed flustered, he turned away.
“Ah yes… … . thank you.”
“No, genius is fun just to watch.”
genius.
It’s a word she’s heard all the time, and she admits it herself, but Harriet wondered what it meant.
Isn’t the word that he is the greatest genius in the history of magic just a word of praise? Harriet still lacks a lot and knows the motives and seniors who are far ahead of her, although they are in different fields.
He cannot become the hope of mankind. can’t stand side by side
He developed an innovative way to use warp gates, but that has nothing to do with power.
Inferiority felt by geniuses.
What can I do with this research?
Harriet had nothing to gain from this study, just looking into it because she needed a place to focus her mind.
In the end, he came up with a plan to improve the warp gate system, but this is not the real purpose.
It’s not like Reinhardt will look after you if you figure out how to make a portal to another world.
What would be different if you made it?
Like last time, they might try to hide it, saying that it is too dangerous magic.
The officer was looking at Harriet with a pleased gaze.
He calls himself a genius, but the person in front of him cannot be a genius either. The person managing the Imperial Magic Ministry’s research archive at a young age could not be a genius.
In the perception of the world, wizards are geniuses, and among wizards, this young wizard who is in charge of the Ministry of Magic at a young age must be a genius among wizards, but to hear that person say he is a genius is quite a big deal.
There was nothing that greatness could give to Harriet.
“Anyway, I didn’t ask this question until now because it was rude. May I ask you a question?”
“yes? ah… … . yes.”
“The Grand Duchess wouldn’t be a warp gate technician, so why are you studying the warp gate system?”
It was a valid question.
It is true that wizards related to warp gates are composed only of high-ranking wizards, but in the end, it was too practical magic for the Grand Duchess of Saint-Ouan to study.
Harriet traces the reason for starting this research.
A dimensional door leading to another world, dimensional magic, and dimensional magic, a warp gate.
It was simple causality. But it wasn’t just his curiosity.
How would the other person react if I said, “I want to know how to go to another world?”
Harriet laughed weakly.
“I was wondering if there was a way to go to another world.”
“… … yes?”
The other person, of course, was taken aback, as if this was an unexpected answer.
It was funny even after saying it, so Harriet scratched her cheek.
“There’s no such thing as well, right?”
It ended up like this after matching with Reinhardt’s pointless curiosity. Since he was thinking of moving away from Reinhardt, wouldn’t it be better to stop hanging out with him for this job he asked for?
Harriet thinks so.
“Yeah… … . I don’t know if this world exists or not… … . It would be more appropriate to say that it is unknown territory rather than nonexistent… … .”
The wizard in front of me muttered with a bewildered expression, then tilted his head.
“Maybe we have a similar wish.”
Another unknown sound.
Does this person also want to open a dimensional door to another world?
However, Harriet couldn’t find any confidence in the smile, which was not as soft as usual, but rather dubious.
“I think you’ve been saying strange things since before.”
Harriet didn’t hold back this time and asked again, but Lothar Dewyn scratched his head casually.
“Haha, is it because I’m a little excited? You keep running out of words.”
What do you mean by excited?
“By the way, Grand Duchess, what about that idea?”
“What idea?”
“The idea that it would be easier to create another world than to create a portal to another world.”
What else is this incomprehensible? Is it better to create another world than a dimensional gate leading to another world?
“Of course, this would be impossible for a clumsy wizard like me. However, wouldn’t it be possible for the Grand Duchess, who has an intelligence close to the extreme as a magician, to be able to do it alone? If it’s the Grand Duchess, it’s definitely possible to become a god of the new world… … .”
“What are you talking about?”
Harriet cut off Dewyn’s words halfway through.
Harriet was strongly convinced that this man seemed to be telling stories that only he knew, and therefore only existed in his head.
Harriet felt an unexplained displeasure growing at the bottom of her heart.
I didn’t know this person was like this, but I felt very bad.
Not the usual lithe attitude, but a slightly sloppy feeling.
Harriet instinctively felt that she had to leave.
Something is dangerous about this guy.
Harriet didn’t want to talk any more.
“I’ll go and see. It’s late… … .”
“It’s a pity, Grand Duchess.”
Lothar Dewynn smiled at Harriet, who got up from her seat with a slight glance.
“I wanted to talk to you a little more today. How about a little more… … .”
“… … We can talk later. It’s too late today.”
“ah… … . Is that so.”
That’s what he said, but his expression wasn’t at all convincing.
That was the decisive blow.
If you don’t want to talk about it, are you trying to force it? Harriet felt as though her blood was drying up at the sudden change of heart and soul.
A slightly fishy smile appeared on Dewin’s lips as he stood up with a slight shiver.
“Then goodbye.”
He just bowed his head deeply toward Harriet.
Harriet ran out of the reading room as if running away.
An unknown sense of crisis swept through Harriet’s body.
