The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 620

Chapter 620

How long have you been together, but Paktong’s chronic disease, habitual flushing syndrome, has not yet been cured.

So that’s a good thing though.

The place where the red-faced Harriet dragged me was Harriet’s laboratory in Razak.

Every time I see this place, I honestly couldn’t hide my regret.

The enormous research facility in the basement of the Temple of Magic College naturally came to mind.

That amount of equipment and scale could be used for just one project.

Harriet’s dedicated laboratory was not equipped with great equipment at first glance. At least, Harriet made it herself whenever she needed it, or the ones she didn’t know were made together with advice from the Lord Vampires in the Senate.

What could Harriet have done if there were those enormous temple magic university research facilities? I know it’s funny to assume, but I couldn’t help but feel sorry every time I saw it.

You don’t even have to go to the Temple College of Magic.

Razak’s magic research facilities honestly can’t keep up with the magic research club’s facilities during the Temple days. In the first place, it was also a laboratory for professor-level wizards.

our mess.

It feels like seeing the daughter of a family whose nose is pierced by a stern man wearing patched socks.

Actually, she is a princess.

Seeing how far away he tries to do something just by being there, I wonder if our paktong is actually a person with strong vitality.

I met a man who had the best talent in history and couldn’t support him, so I couldn’t even show my talent properly.

what to do

It’s the biggest stumbling block in my life.

Other kids make titans and armies called immortals.

My kid, who has nothing better than them, and who has even more talent than him, met the wrong guy and is whimpering in a lab like this attic!

“sorry.”

“… … suddenly? what?”

“I’m just sorry about everything.”

“What are you saying all of a sudden?”

Suddenly, Harriet pursed her lips, telling her to stop talking nonsense.

I don’t have any complaints, so it’s more salty and I’m sorry.

“Anyway, so what is it?”

I now admit that it is my nature to think but to speak at random.

“Look at this.”

What Harriet was pointing at was a flat metal plate.

It has a lot of patterns on it, and to be precise, it looks like a pedestal of something. If you look at the slightly convex protrusion, it looks like some kind of machine.

And not one.

It was a pair of iron plates.

“Terrible. I’m not a genius like you, so I can’t tell what it is when I see it. I have to explain.”

“If you’re a paktong, you’re a paktong, if you’re a genius, you’re a genius.”

I’m not a genius like you.

Is that so? This sounded a bit odd.

“Oh, it hurts.”

“… … really!”

-Fuck!

“Just one!”

“Noisy!”

I did as I was told, but why did you hit me!

anyway.

There is no end to arguing.

It’s so much fun I can’t stop.

Harriet knows that too, and if I keep saying shit, there are times when I just say what I have to say.

Harriet placed the pair of metal plates at either end of the desk.

“Now, like this… … . hmm.”

As Harriet begins to tinker with it, the thin iron plate begins to move and take shape.

A few metal plates protruded from what was supposed to be a pedestal and turned into something like a cradle.

Should I say it looks like a three-legged table turned upside down?

Harriet did the same thing this time with a different plate.

Something that looks like a pair of cradles.

Harriet brought something like a metal rod out of the random things in the lab.

It was the same with the template.

We don’t really clean up our mess.

He says he knows where everything is and doesn’t have to clean it up.

“look.”

– Chijijijik! Chijik!

Soon, blue sparks began to fly from the pair of iron plates.

“… … Isn’t it dangerous?”

“It’s not dangerous. It’s my first time actually doing it.”

“How do you know if it’s dangerous or not before you actually try it!”

“My theory couldn’t have been wrong.”

ah.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s like math, right?

Since the formula is correct, there is no way that different results will come out even if it is implemented in reality.

I’ve done all the intra-brain simulations.

I’m not, but I’m going to be pissed off.

“Then it wouldn’t be dangerous.”

“… … I don’t know whether you believe me or not.”

– Pajik! Dismissed! Chijijijiji!

Soon, sparks began to fly from the edges of the pair of steel plates, and soon began to glow blue.

The blue light gradually begins to take on the shape of a sphere.

A pair of blue spheres.

The inside of the blue sphere was stained black.

this.

I hope this

“ruler.”

Harriet inserted what looked like an iron rod into the left one of the spheres.

and.

-The

iron bar protrudes from the sphere on the right and lands on the desk. I rolled over and fell helplessly to the floor.

don’t know what this is

“hey… … . this… … .”

“huh.”

Harriet laughs.

“It’s a warp gate. A new warp gate on a path unrelated to the gate incident.”

my child

in this poor and crude environment.

Another major accident occurred.

“this… … . makes sense… … ?”

“I did it because it worked, stupid.”

“you… … . you… … !”

– Wow!

“Aww! it hurts!”

“You really are the best prankster!”

“What are you really saying!”

* * *

What is logistics and distribution?

To be honest, I still don’t know the details.

I just know that it is very important.

And I know that the golden age of the empire did not come from the conquest of the demon realm, but from the warp gate.

The Golden Age of Mankind and the Golden Age of Empires.

It was not because people could come and go through the warp gate, but because logistics could come and go beyond people.

The development of transportation and logistics brings rapid advancement of society.

This is because when logistics develops rapidly, specialization is basically possible.

Prior to the development of logistics, many cities had to be self-sufficient centered on base cities.

Including food commercial manufacturing.

To a certain extent, you have to be self-sufficient.

However, if logistics distribution is extremely developed, cities that specialize in commerce or manufacturing do not have to produce food at all. Of course it’s a matter of import. And that can be done in a city or country with an environment specialized for agriculture.

For example, let’s say there is a mine with a large amount of magic stones buried in a city with a cold climate.

If distribution is unstable, the city must have a system that can be self-sufficient to some extent even in a cold climate, and it is difficult for people to live in the end. So it will inevitably be difficult to develop.

But what if you only have warp gates?

Food is imported from somewhere, so it will be a mining city where you can mine magic stones in large quantities.

Ecliptic Gradium, where logistics were enormously concentrated, was able to become the empire’s largest city because it had the most warp gates.

People are driven, goods are driven, and goods are driven.

So, of course, Gradium had no choice but to become the largest city.

The food problem in the imperial city of Gradium is also a problem that arises because the imperial capital was not an agricultural city in the first place.

Distribution was blocked and the city, which was not self-sufficient, had to self-sufficient food.

That’s why the empire is somehow forced to farm for food self-sufficiency, forcibly clearing the land, and producing and supplying food on land that secures safety in other areas.

However, since there is no overwhelming distribution convenience facility that can be moved at all times called a warp gate, all tasks must be solved with the mass teleportation of the archmages.

So, first of all, not only is the production itself insufficient, but if the production was done in a place other than the ecliptic, only super-sophisticated manpower called the archmage would have to be spent moving the goods.

After the Gate Crisis, warp gates became a completely worthless technology.

The reason is simple.

This is because the virtual dimension called the imaginary dimension became real and the monsters at the gate took over.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t make warp gates.

You can make it.

Monsters just pour out of it.

“So you made a second imaginary dimension?”

“huh.”

“I don’t know, but the reason people haven’t done it until now is because they can’t think of it, right?”

“Maybe?”

It’s the first time I’ve really thought of something like this.

It makes me feel like I want to hug Paktong tightly and kiss her hundreds of times.

“So it was possible because you were so great?”

The kids who fart and sniff did what they couldn’t do even with the best facilities, while heading to the ground, right?

At my words, Harriet’s face goes red and she wiggles her fingers.

“… … I don’t want to say that.”

“Right no. Just tell me.”

“Yes… … . that’s right… … .”

I know you know what a great job you’ve done.

To see him twisting his body in shame even after a major accident.

They look tens of millions of times cuter and more amazing than usual.

“Let’s hug each other.”

“I hate poetry!”

“why not!”

“I hate this! It’s like praising a dog!”

“No, who said dog?”

In the end, it was the same that we ended up arguing as well as not as well as not as good as we did.

What would it be like to create a new imaginary dimension?

I don’t know, but the warp gate wasn’t an invention created by a wizard in the first place.

According to what I heard from the Archduke of Saint-Ouan, it was a project pushed forward by the emperor a long time ago, almost risking the fate of the empire.

The best wizards of the time would have stuck together, and it would have been the result of the best wizards of the time gathering together for a very long time.

The warp gate is the result of research and experiments accumulated over a very long time.

What wasn’t the achievement of only one person, Harriet did it alone. Even here, there are no proper facilities or equipment.

In the first place, Harriet had gone through research materials related to warp gates in order to study dimensional magic at a time when I had no idea about the cause of the gate crisis.

The accumulated knowledge is already in Harriet’s head, so it won’t be exactly the same as before developing the warp gate.

But in the end, it doesn’t change that Harriet did what no one else could.

Anyway, unlike the original story, Harriot fights, but that’s not the purpose. Because they don’t always stay on the battlefield.

So in the end, even if it’s crude, did you find your own way to revive the warp gate technology because you had time to think about it?

Of course, it seems clear that the fact that Harriet did research on warp gates because of me, which he shouldn’t have known about originally, played a big part.

In the end, the truth is right in front of your eyes.

Harriot succeeded in devising a new warp gate system.

“How far is the distance?”

“I did it to see if it would work or not, so the distance would naturally increase if I made it bigger. At this point, it is difficult to use it for any purpose.”

“What if you have the capacity to make it large?”

“There is not much difference from the existing warp gate. Did you know that warp gates are interlocked with all warp gates within reach of the gate?”

“know.”

“And remember the construction of the gate passage that allows me to reach the target point at once without going in and out separately by forming a network of warp gates?”

“any.”

The existing warp gate system, so to put it simply, the subway lines were built randomly, so there were too many transfer stations. It feels like spaghetti code.

For example, it feels similar to the subway station where the first subway was built and is very outdated. Although the deterioration is not visible to the naked eye.

However, this was designed by Harriet from scratch.

You don’t have to get off at the stopover at the gate to make a super-long trip like before, get on and off again, and get on again.

“In the end, it seems like there must be a waypoint in the middle to travel a very long distance. Connecting gates to gates… … . So maybe we should build a Nexus?”

“nexus… … ?”

“You need a connection point to amplify the warp gate signal. Among the functions of the warp gate, it only serves as a transit point, and people do not actually come in and out.”

“Did you develop that too? the bird?”

“… … No way. Just make half a warp gate and it becomes a nexus.”

“… … huh?”

“You don’t understand?”

“of course.”

I don’t understand what the teacher is talking about.

Harriet paints the picture.

1 – 2 – 3

“Let’s say it’s a straight path.”

“Your brother.”

“… … What is he saying now?”

“No, explain.”

“So originally, after all the warp gates, 1 2 3 points are connected to each other, right?”

“yes.”

“But now that most of the city has been destroyed, there is no need to build warp gates at every point. yes? Point 2 in 1 2 3 doesn’t even have a city. But we want to connect 1 and 3. But points 1 and 3 are too far apart. Let’s assume it is.”

“uh.”

“Then, point 2 doesn’t have to completely complete the warp gate, and only makes half of it to serve as a transit point. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Is it like a stepping stone?”

“okay.”

I understand now what it means.

“With warp gate technology so far, warp gates had to be made at two points as well. But then, in reality, useless resources are being invested in making warp gates at two points that will only be used as transit points. Since there is no real reason for people to come in and out at point 2 to shorten that process, it means that there is only a structure that can perform certain functions of the warp gate. Nexus is a name given for convenience, and if you literally make a little warp gate, it can act as a nexus. What if you think you need to build a warp gate at point 2 later? Just build the nexus and complete it with a warp gate. It’s basically the same structure.”

hmm.

I still don’t quite understand, but I get what you’re talking about.

It is a story that you can install a simple station and make it only connect once, and then complete it properly as a station if necessary.

and.

It is a story that the cost of connecting all continents with a warp gate can be astronomically reduced. Now that the inefficient technology that has been passed down since the beginning of development has been completely eliminated, it is now possible to operate with complete efficiency.

Even though Harriet is worried, she smiles as she sees me who understands half of it in the end.

“Do you know why I told you this long story?”

“How can I praise you?”

“… … How the hell are you looking at me?”

Harriet widens her eyes, saying that she didn’t say this to get praise.

“It’s not impossible to connect the Continent and Edina and beyond, the Empire and Edina with a warp gate. I can do it for a lot less money than I used to.”

At those words, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

Connect the Empire and Edina with a warp gate.

It’s bloody dangerous.

The Empire still doesn’t know where we are. So we can be safe.

But Harriet never said this because she wanted to destroy Edina.

“The anti-imperial forces in the ecliptic can bring them straight to Edina. Then no one will have to see blood.”

“… … .”

“You were thinking that if something happened, you would have to lead all those people out of the ecliptic, right? You know that’s impossible.”

The seeds of division have already been planted, have germinated and are growing.

The moment it becomes visible someday, a huge number of people are bound to die.

You have the option of destroying the empire.

and other options.

There was an endless road going south toward Edina, leaving the imperial capital with those who followed me.

Is it a war or a campaign?

Both were clear that huge numbers of people would be sacrificed.

It is foolish to drive people to the abyss of death in order to avoid war.

But just because that’s foolish, is it wise to start a civil war in Gradium the moment this division becomes visible?

I didn’t choose what to do.

I was just thinking maybe I should do it.

Connecting the Empire and Edina with a warp gate is obviously very dangerous.

But if it could tear tens of millions of people apart without a fight.

At least it will be better than the blacksmithing.

“It doesn’t mean you have to.”

“… … .”

“But you just need to know that we have a new possibility, and a means to rebuild the world, if not necessarily this way.”

Depending on how you use the warp gate, it can be a technology for war or a technology for prosperity and reconstruction.

“And first of all, I am thinking of connecting the archipelago as the main focus. If the travel requirements between the islands are shortened, not only solidarity but also the control of the central administration will increase. You know there was a reason why the imperial power was absolute after the development of the warp gate, right?”

Primarily connect the Edina Archipelago back to the warp gate.

The next thing is the next thing.

To think that such a technology that could change the world came from a cute little head.

“I will grant you one wish. What.”

I can do anything if I feel like this right now!

Even if you tell them to bite their tongue and die, they can die!

What do you want!

I’ll do everything!

“Because I’m so serious… … . That’s right… … .”

“No, not one. I’ll do anything in the future. just talk! Anything! just! membrane! uh! I’ll just do it!”

“It’s embarrassing!”

Harriet sighed after pondering for a long time, perhaps not knowing that I would react like this.

“All right, do the cat.”

no.

hey.

suddenly?

“Why did you do that again! You did it the other day… … !”

Is he, like Ellen, suffering from Severe Cat Syndrome?

I’ll do it whenever I have a chance!

And is that all?

“no?”

He looked at me as if he would do anything, and then asked if he could do that.

uh.

If the cost of creating a new warp gate is like that… … .

I don’t think it’s too cheap, but… … .

“Are you doing it?”

“… … of course.”

that night after all.

I had to fall asleep with Paktong holding me in the form of a cat.

Honestly, it’s not a loss, it’s just good for me… … ?

I also want to
