Mage? Spell Engineer!.

Chapter 509 The target of public criticism
Not only Rorschach was researching how to target the Empire's anti-magic devices, but many wizards who were unwilling to bargain with the Imperial Parliament also began to take action. For a time, research on anti-magic and anti-anti-magic became a hot topic.

Not only the magicians of Valois, but also the unorganized spellcasters in the empire, upon hearing the rumor that the city was going to build a magic-proof device, tried to launch an attack with all their breath held.

The task of breaking through the anti-magic device became the target of public criticism.

As a hidden protest, the Senate of the Mage will open the key texts in the hands of the guild to all mages. In the past, the manuscripts of the mysterious "Baron Leipzig", the founder of the theory of forbidden magic, were disclosed by both the Empire and the Guild. Originally, these fragments were collected by the Empire, the Tower of Mysticism, and the Tower of Stars, but now both parties have made the texts in their hands public.

The Alchemy Department, which had fought against the airship more than once, naturally also considered the survival of the "Giant Mechanical Breaker" in the field.

At first, all models were designed for "temporary magic failure", which the brothers called barrier time. Since the magic ban time is limited, the problem they have to overcome is to ensure that the body can be self-sustaining without relying on magic for a short period of time, and to activate all functions in time after the magic is restored.

The final result is called the "Black Coffin System", which places an oscillating quartz as a fuse inside the power furnace. Once the fluctuation of the ambient magic reaches the alarm value, the quartz will be triggered and amplify the signal. The power furnace will be closed.

The "black coffin" is made up of layers of black stone, and there are circulating magic circuits on it. As long as it is not in the center of the "magic tsunami", it can absorb some of the impact.

To keep the internal power reactor running, the magic power will be stored. Once the impact is over, the "Black Coffin" will release the magic power in an attempt to restore full mobility and combat functions as soon as possible.

Then the supply chain took action, and the Empire's device changed from a one-shot hit to a long-lasting one! And the giant machines were still "seconds away" in front of the device...

Even the new model of giant machine equipped with the "Black Coffin System" can only rely on steam engines and hydraulics to perform simple activities for a short period of time when there is no magic power. At this time, it loses contact with the operator and can only follow the preset actions:

Either you set it to kneel on one knee and wait, or you keep running, holding the power reactor as a mobile bomb and saying "md and you explode".

So when the "Wall of Sighs" was launched, the guys whose hairlines were about to break through the highest point of the human body "thanked" the initiator Rorschach for his "great kindness" while trying to find ways to improve the "Black Coffin System".

Perhaps feeling the cordial "greetings" from his old buddies thousands of miles away, Rorschach presented a big gift after the manuscript of "The Baron of Leipzig" was made public.

He submitted his first article since being promoted to Grand Master to the Magic Guild, titled "A Preliminary Study on the Three Effects of the Forbidden Magic Field". The first was the polarized distribution of magic frequency, the second was the super-ground state that actually existed in the material world in the Forbidden Magic Field, and the third was the "magic string" based on the polarization effect and the new way of casting spells.

Theoretically, it should be split into three parts, but Rorschach didn't have time to work out the details, and in fact the other wizards were also very anxious.

"Teacher, why can't I understand it at all?" Andre was now very frightened. He was forced to be listed as the third author of this article, but when he pieced together all the words in the article, he could not understand more than ten sentences.

If people from the Senate and the arbitration tribunal come to my house, will I be charged with academic fraud?
"I don't understand it either." Rorschach's words were earth-shattering, but he remained calm: "All theories are based on my unique perspective. To be honest, I practice first, and then try to explain why my actions are valid and feasible."

To him, the wonderful changes of that day were natural and beautiful, but when it came to expressing them in words, Rorschach felt that he was lacking and powerless, not only in terms of language, but also in terms of mathematics. Therefore, he mostly just described the phenomenon, leaving the more detailed and complete theoretical construction to future generations.

As for if anyone raises doubts, Rorschach can just reproduce it himself. Andre made a very unusual request: "Can you remove my name from the author of the article?"

"No, no, no. What I hate most is burying an individual's contribution. You are responsible for preparing the equipment and proofreading the articles. Thank you for your hard work. You deserve this title." Rorschach seriously rejected his apprentice's request.

"What about Martin? He's the one in charge of the switchgear. He's more suitable for the third work than me."

"He is an insulator against magic! If he is exposed to the guild, there will be only one outcome: he will be kidnapped and secretly dissected." Rorschach comforted him, "Don't worry, if there is any problem, I will take care of it. Looking across the continent, there is no spellcaster that I can't handle."

Andre is suffocated by forced love: "If several great wizards come together"

"Master, I can..." He wanted to say that at most he could take his apprentice and run away, but his teleportation skills were so poor. "Master can buy you and Teacher Caroline some time to escape."

Well, Caroline is the second author, but she has made real contributions. Caroline tried to explain the probability distribution of magic power and material entities in the field in terms of time and space.

After the article was published, most mages did not understand it. A small number of mages analyzed part of it and obtained some results. However, in the eyes of the members of the Arcane Senate, they valued the last item more, the "magic string" and the corresponding new casting method. If Rorschach did not lie, then it would be a change with greater impact than the spell string.

Although the guild adopted a soft confrontation with the Empire by promoting research on cracking, the new emperor and the Imperial Parliament remained united and passed the "Imperial Supernatural Security Control Act", striving to install long-term anti-magic devices in settlements with a population of more than 10,000 people in the Empire within ten years.

In any case, the disputes surrounding spellcasters reached a temporary stalemate in late autumn. For the majority of wizards, it was impossible for them to master the ability to cast spells in the forbidden magic field as quickly as Rorschach, and the empire also did not have the spare energy to implement the new law, unless the imperial capital really began to set up more equipment.

The battle ended in early autumn. For the Empire, the front-line troops bought time for the completion of the "Helmuth" Line and harvested the food in the occupied areas, leaving the already financially strapped people in the liberated areas hungry for food.

As for the Republic, their new weapons were already in place, and the energized National Guard needed to press on.

In late autumn, the two major powers on the mainland were gearing up to launch a new round of offensive.

On the Western Front, Paul received new equipment and new orders at the border between the Republic and the Low Countries.

"Magic Weaver?"

"It will be installed in the black coffin system of the 'Dawn Player', allowing it to gain the ability to operate in the forbidden magic device, but it is only a test product, and during operation, the operator can no longer control it remotely, and must enter the black coffin to operate the giant machine." The elder brother from the Alchemy Department told his former junior brother.

"Got it. Let's look forward to its performance." Paul looked at the outline of the huge fortress of the Lowland Principality in the distance. It was the western end of the "Helmut Line". If it was pried open, the route closest to the imperial capital would be open to the National Guard.
