Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 487 Magicians' Technology

There are magicians in the empire, which is something that Perfectcot has always known, and the magicians are quite active in the empire. In addition to maintaining the constant temperature barrier of the palace, the court magicians are also responsible for the security of Langton City and the palace, and are specifically responsible for handling some matters that cannot be handled by conventional security means.

If it were two hundred years ago, the imperial court magicians would undoubtedly be very powerful and noble, because they did have the power to repel an army alone.

But with the decline of mystery, the whole world has gradually become a low-magic or even no-magic environment. The popularity of alchemy and the development of science and technology have made magicians antiques eliminated by the times.

The royal magicians still maintain their ancient duties, and the best among them still hold the honorable title of court magician, but that's all.

Magic has not been popularized in all aspects of the empire like alchemy, nor has it been combined with modern technology.

In addition, learning magic is much more difficult than alchemy, and the decline of magicians can be imagined due to the difficulty of inheritance.

But these magicians obviously will not admit this. They have been trying hard to maintain their mystery and dignity, making magic an image that is unattainable for ordinary people.

However, in reality, magic has become dispensable to the empire.

Alchemy can do most of what magic can do. Even if there are some things that cannot be achieved, they belong to the category of very advanced or powerful magic.

As for this part of magic, not to mention replacing it with alchemy, even the magician himself can hardly cast it.

Under such circumstances, magicians seem more and more like a group of old-timers who are conservative, trapped in their own small circle, entertaining themselves, and looking down on themselves.

This also resulted in the fact that Perfectcot actually had very little contact with magicians, and it could be said that there was almost no intersection between them.

After all, she is the most famous alchemist in the empire. The relationship between magicians and alchemists cannot be said to be a dead end, but it can only be regarded as meeting each other without knowing each other.

Under such circumstances, although the Imperial Center had invited these magicians to join the plan to deal with the doomsday crisis, the magicians did not join for various reasons.

There was absolutely no such thing as the magicians trying to gain control of the plan, or spending huge resources to build large magic towers to accommodate a small population and abandoning the vast majority of the empire's citizens. There was also no such thing as the magicians being excluded by the imperial center and the aristocracy.

All in all, after learning from their mistakes, the magicians finally approached the church with humiliated faces after the church was invited by Perfectot to join her plan, saying that they could also provide some help.

It is not that the church is very averse to magicians. Although the church has carried out a witch-hunt for a while in the past, it was not initiated by the church itself, but was organized and executed by the secular world.

Although the church later used the witch hunt movement to investigate cults, witches and other shady things, magicians were rarely involved.

So in general, the relationship between the church and the magicians is pretty good. After the magicians expressed their willingness to cooperate, the church asked them to try it out on a newly renovated church in Langton. There is nothing much to say about the church itself. It is just an ordinary community church. After hollowing out the underground, reinforcing the church itself, and building an energy tower, the church has become a small shelter that accommodates about 3,000 residents from the surrounding community.

The magicians sent by the Magic Association did not interfere in other matters. After figuring out the operating mechanism of the energy tower, they tried to use the energy released by the energy tower to drive the magic circle and the barrier, thus constructing a constant temperature barrier that could cover a certain range.

This can be considered one of the major research achievements of the Magic Association in recent years, and it was even a research project led by the previous president of the Magic Association, Endymion.

However, as the four of them suffered backlash that year, President Endymion also disappeared like the other three. The Magic Association fell into a slump and this research was shelved for many years.

Until the past few years, when the magicians learned about the coming of the doomsday, they pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, but in fact they had been secretly searching through the association's archives and libraries, trying to find ways to deal with the coming of the doomsday.

Spending a lot of resources to build a wizard tower is a bad idea that they came up with, but one thing has to be admitted that the wizard tower can indeed resist the impact of the doomsday winter, but this thing really consumes too many resources.

As for how expensive it is? Just look at the fact that there is no Mage Tower in the capital of the Victoria Empire, and you will understand how much resources this thing consumes.

Simply put, even if there was no doomsday winter, with the economic strength of the Victoria Empire at its peak, anyone who wanted to build a wizard tower empire would go bankrupt.

Therefore, many ideas of the magicians were rejected. Finally, they dug out the research of the previous president from the pile of old papers. After some sorting and research, they finally perfected this technology and could use non-magical energy sources to support the operation of magic circles and barriers.

But the only problem is that they can't find a large sustainable energy source that can support the operation of magic circles and barriers.

It was not until the magicians cooperated with the church that they saw the energy tower erected in the church.

The magicians cast various magic runes on the energy tower to construct a magic circle with a constant temperature barrier, and used their technology to make the energy tower the energy source of the magic circle.

Therefore, after a small energy tower is activated, part of the heat it emits will be converted into the magic circle, thereby opening a constant temperature barrier with a radius of 500 meters, so that the temperature inside the barrier can always be kept above zero degrees.

The constant temperature barrier is like a barrier that isolates heat exchange, so that the heat emitted by the energy tower is always contained within a radius of 500 meters and will not dissipate.

This technology undoubtedly aroused Perfect's interest, because if this technology can be rolled out, shelters can be built on the ground in addition to underground.

It also reduces the heat dissipation of the energy tower, which is also very helpful for saving energy.

Of course the most important thing is that the constant temperature barrier can be handled in this way, but what about other magic circles and barriers?
