Chapter 468 [0463] Magic Changes the World

Although Lux had long been accustomed to "listening to Kalya's words", she still instinctively felt disbelief after realizing the scope of the artificial lake planned by Kalya.

Lux didn't know much about engineering construction. If she had to say it, she had only dug mines in Zaun for a few days, presided over the renovation of Zaun's urban area, and supervised the construction of Zaun's new port.

Coupled with her understanding of the history of the canal being dug by the Zaun people, Lux knew that project construction was something that required a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even with magic, the progress of the project can be accelerated to a certain extent, but to dig out an artificial lake as large as Kalya planned, it still requires less than a thousand mages and only takes one winter. It's a bit unbelievable.

"Vazuan's technology has its merits." Seemingly understanding Lux's doubts, Kalya cheerfully explained, "They did a good job of involving civilians in the project. This was something Shuri once did. What Madu didn’t do, but when it comes to the construction speed of the project, they are completely inadequate.”

Lux and Ino both blinked.

"Take these drawings as an example." Kalya continued, "Ino, when you were in Zaun, you also participated in front-line coordination. Just take the matter of drawing as an example. Draw the project according to Zaun's method. How to make a picture?”

"Survey, measure, calculate, check, and draw." Ino nodded and subconsciously answered, "Finally, the drawing team makes the drawing."

"Well said." Karya agreed, "But do you know how I drew these drawings?"

Ino shook his head.

"Look carefully at the lines on the picture and use your magic to feel it." Kalya reminded, "Although Shyvana is responsible for this picture, it should actually be regarded as my work."

Following Kalya's method, both Lux and Ino expanded their elemental vision, and then they were surprised to find that in the drawings provided by Kalja, most of the lines and symbols representing terrain and engineering requirements exuded... There is even a burning aura of fire element that is unique to Shyvana.

"Is this picture drawn with magic? Are these lines materialized magic?" Lux suddenly said, "Wait, let me take a closer look...the traces of mixed elements, and an aura similar to simulation training! "

"The perception is quite sharp." Kalya chuckled, "I have done some research on space magic. When drawing these lines, I only need to let Shyvana take me to fly quickly, and at the same time shrink and record the path on the paper. Just come down - to be honest, I asked Ino to take me to find the dragon, not only to train the air force, but also to facilitate construction. If you don't have the ability to fly and just rely on walking, even if you have this method, drawing will be very troublesome. ”

Hearing what Kalya said, Lux was simply stunned.

There is no doubt that Kalya's "drawing method" has exceeded her imagination.

In Runeterra, a place where "measurement, calculation and verification" have not really formed standards, Kalya's drawing method is already at the modeling level.

Through Shyvana's high mobility, Kalya can record his own action path through space magic, and then record the key terrain information of the engineering operation area in extremely detailed way and build a model.

Then, he ran the "simulated artificial lake" again and drew the engineering information, finally forming this stack of drawings.

It is true that the person who drew these drawings is Shyvana, but to be precise, Shyvana is more like a pen or a scanner. She does not understand drawing at all, but she accurately draws the drawings according to the actual terrain. All the information was “copied”!

After figuring out the joints, even though Lux and Ino thought they knew Kalya very well, they still felt a bit amazed in their hearts.

Before this, they had never thought that besides using earth element magic to move sand, magic had such applications!

After smacking their lips, the two little girls quickly looked at each other, almost simultaneously thinking of Kalya's small world and the sand dunes there.

Was that world copied by Kalya from a certain place?

"Although the scale of this project is not small, the construction difficulty is actually not that big." Kalya didn't know that they were thinking about the world of simulation training, and was very satisfied with their shocked attitude. There are few people, although the melted water from the snowy mountains will rumble over in the form of glaciers, But the actual runoff is not that high, and the construction of this artificial lake is not that difficult - and the mages are all highly qualified mages. Very few people can master my spatial mapping skills. But among the Dharma Protectors, there is a guy who has a unique perception of space..."

It seemed that he was a little excited when talking about the project. Kalya rarely talked about many things in the past, and during his narration, Lux finally understood how rare it is to be a spellcaster with unique talents.

According to Kalya, when there is sufficient magic power, excavation of earth could not be easier for the caster - whether it is using explosives or digging, the caster can always do it in a way that is difficult for ordinary people. In an accessible way, rapid engineering construction can be carried out.

In contrast, many seemingly mundane tasks are particularly troublesome to do.

For example, the reinforcement of the lake shore, the control of the slope of the lake bottom, the structural solidification of frozen soil, and the quality assurance of projects under huge temperature differences, etc., are the major issues.

If it's just digging a hole, it's too easy to rely on these spellcasters!

……………………

After spending a whole morning, Lux and Ino finally had a concrete concept of "using magic to dig an artificial lake".

For them, this is a brand new field, and most of the engineering experience accumulated in Zaun has to be torn down and started over again.

After Kalya finally finished talking about all the construction ideas, Lux digested the information while asking a question in confusion: "If spellcasters can do things that ordinary people can't do so easily, why do you still insist on the industrialization of magic? Just to make more people become spellcasters?"

"No, this is a very complicated matter." When asked about this topic, Kalya's tone finally stopped being excited, "How do you say it... In your opinion, what was the model of the former Shurima Empire? The kind that relied on ascenders to do large projects."

"Although I have only been to a part of the area, I think it's very good." Lux blinked Blinking, he told the truth, "You have cultivated many animals and plants suitable for various places, and built amazing projects, many of which are still preserved today. Except for the source of power being a little biased, it is almost perfect."

"I thought so at first." Kalya smacked his lips, "But later, Shurima was divided - even if I asked for equal education, the whole Shurima was still in an extremely divided state... If Shurima could be as united as it was in the early days of its founding, a hundred battles of Icathia would not cause it to fall apart."

Lux's eyes were dull. Obviously, this part of the content was a bit beyond the scope, and she could not understand it for the time being.

"Everything has a price. The Ascendants created all the glory, so when the contradictions cannot be reconciled, the empire will fall apart, and those ordinary people who share this glory because of the Ascendants are helpless in this change." Kalya sighed softly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. There are always all kinds of strange problems in the thousand-year-old empire. All I can do is to make the foundation as solid as possible when I start again. Let's not talk about this-that, Shivana, go and call Sona, her schedule should be almost out."

Sona's schedule has indeed come out.

Although there are more than 80 groups of people who need to take classes, the actual arrangement of the courses is not complicated-because the talents of the Archons were taken into consideration when the groups were formed, so the content of the courses that need to be taught to people in the same group is similar.

In other words, for lectures, a group of people can be regarded as "one person".

The course of more than 80 people is actually not difficult, and Lux, Ino and Sona are responsible for it. At least in this winter, they can handle it completely.

Compared to the course, the actual work is more difficult to schedule.

Even if Karya can give each group a construction plan, there is a serious shortage of people responsible for determining the construction supervision.

After all, these mages are real rookies. No matter how detailed the construction plan given by Karya is, they may not be able to fully understand the requirements and purposes.

At present, only Karya knows how to do the entire artificial lake project. In addition to Karya, even Lux and Ino have only a vague understanding of it, let alone the magician who has never had this kind of "magic engineering experience"!

The chief engineer and chief designer are top-notch, but from the chief engineer, all the personnel are rookies who know nothing!

This is the biggest difficulty of this project in Karya's eyes.

Unfortunately, this problem cannot be rushed. Even Karya can only standardize the construction goals of each group as much as possible, and then start with simple work, and let the team leaders of each group supervise on behalf of them.

Fortunately, the work enthusiasm of the Guardians is very high. Even though the temperature in Fosbyro is very low in winter, after receiving the plan and arriving at the scheduled construction site, the Guardians are still enthusiastic and the whole construction site is in full swing.

……………………

The snow has cleared and the sun has risen. Bunoklin and the members of the 77th team were taken to the scheduled location according to Karya's request.

Unlike the group that was densely packed together not far away and was ready to start digging and mortaring, most of the talents in Bunoklin's group are related to magic.

So, according to the plan distributed before, their work content is to plant trees.

Specifically, they plant trees along the edge of the lakeshore planned by Karya.

To be honest, Bunoklin and his team members were very confused when they received the plan-didn't we say we were going to dig an artificial lake, why did we come to plant trees?

And for this, Ino, who was responsible for distributing the task book at the time, also gave an explanation.

"The permafrost in Fosbyro is not stable. In order to stabilize the lakeshore, in addition to rock reinforcement, a forest must be planted ten yards away from the lakeshore."

This statement made Brunoclin and the members of the 77th team feel very novel and interesting - although in winter, the permafrost is as hard as stone, but in the autumn before, the land here was soft. Although they don't know what seasonal permafrost is, they think that even if a lake is dug, this kind of land will slowly collapse and fill up sooner or later.

And using a combination of tree planting and rock reinforcement to maintain the lakeshore sounds like a really good way!

Ordinary people may not know this, but Group 77 has been dealing with plants for many years, so they naturally know the importance of plant roots in strengthening the soil!

This arrangement has made all members of Group 77, who were worried that they could not help much, very motivated.

They really don't know how to dig and make ash, but they are very good at planting trees!

Bunoclin can speed up the growth of trees, and the acceleration effect is directly related to the magic power he provides.

As long as the sapling is planted in the soil, in one afternoon, Bunoclin can make it grow into a big tree that needs to be embraced with both hands!

However... before starting to plant trees, according to the requirements of the plan, they must first choose a tree species that can grow on frozen soil and is easy to plant.

There are many types of trees near Fosbyro, but most of them are low shrubs-it is difficult for ordinary trees to grow on this seasonal frozen soil.

In order to find a tree that can grow on frozen soil under artificial catalysis, Bunoclin and his team members began to experimentally catalyze various trees.

This is a rather boring task.

Lux collected a lot of Fosbyro tree species through Fosbyro's Chamber of Commerce. After these seeds were handed over to Team 77, they were catalyzed and preliminarily screened on the frozen soil by Bunoklin and three other team members who could directly promote plant growth.

Through magic acceleration, confirm whether these seeds can germinate on the frozen soil.

Because there are many tree species, it takes more magic power and time to fully catalyze them into big trees, so this screening only targets germination and stops until they grow into seedlings.

Then, among the seedlings that successfully passed the initial screening, they continued to perform secondary and tertiary catalysis.

After spending half a month, Bunoklin finally succeeded in finding a tree that can grow normally on frozen soil: Dragon Ridge Larch.

This coniferous tree native to the foothills of the Dragon Ridge Mountains can adapt well to the frozen soil environment and can germinate and grow directly in the frozen soil environment.

In order to confirm its reliability, after initially determining the tree species, Fuquelin quickly followed up and began to simulate the prosperity and decline of the Dragon Ridge Larch.

Fukui Lin, who is only sixteen years old this year, is the youngest member of Group 77. She is the girl who can catalyze plant growth and quickly complete the life cycle of plants.

A larch seedling spawned by Bunoklin was randomly selected, and Fukui Lin suddenly accelerated its life cycle.

The Longji larch, which germinated and matured in the winter frozen soil environment, grew rapidly and soon became an adult pine tree.

At the same time, the three members of Group 32 (jokingly called the temperature control group) cooperated with Fukui Lin's catalysis to heat the frozen soil and the surrounding air back and forth, and began to simulate the changes of the four seasons year after year.

Time seemed to be accelerated. Whether it was the growth rate of the Longji larch or the change rate of the surrounding temperature, every hour was a season.

Three days later, the larch seemed to have grown for eighteen years-it was already a towering tree!

During these three days, the three people in Group 32 could work in a cycle, but Fukulin couldn't let go at all in order to maintain the magic effect, specifically sense the changes in the life of the Dragon Ridge Larch, and prevent the tree from withering in advance!

On the morning of the first day, Fukulin only held the sapling with one hand.

At noon, she needed to hug the sapling with one hand.

At night, the tree bloomed for the first time. Fukulin hugged the pine tree with both hands, smelled the smell of oil, and was fed a meal.

On the second day, she couldn't hold the tree anymore and could only climb up the branch.

Fukulin was young and her magic control ability was not good enough. She couldn't maintain a stable magic supply when she was sleeping. In this case, she could only force herself not to sleep and survived these 72 hours.

When Bunoklin announced the success of the experiment and confirmed that the Dragon Ridge Larch could be catalyzed and planted in frozen soil, and the work of Group 77 entered the next stage, the long-accumulated fatigue finally completely overwhelmed Fukulin's consciousness.

She fell headfirst from the tree, feeling so light.

Brunoclin and the others caught her immediately—but even so, Fuquelin didn't wake up. When Brunoclin sent her back to the camp, she was still snoring loudly.

In the temporary camp and construction site, there were eighty-five working groups working as hard as Group 77.

……………………

The wind and snow once again drifted over Fosbiero.

In this snowstorm, eighty-six working groups and more than nine hundred magicians took turns to study and work.

These magicians, who were all geniuses but had never received true genius treatment and were used to self-deprecation, showed the earth-shaking power of magic for the first time under Karya's planning.

They used their own methods and their own strength to turn the obscure construction drawings into reality bit by bit.

They had no experience, so in order to meet the work requirements, they awkwardly controlled their magic power and simulated everything with magic.

In this process, they ignored the overdraft of magic power and the wind and snow.

In their hands, magic is no longer a disaster, but a tool to change the world.

While changing the world, they are also quietly changing themselves - perhaps in Noxus, powerful magic means strong combat power and a high social status.

But here, in Fosbyro, a group of geniuses that all Noxus warbands are vying for, the first lesson of magic practice is to use this power to create a new life for themselves.

In the wind and snow, those who dig the soil are still digging the soil, those who plant trees are still planting trees, Lux and Ino are giving advanced classes to several elemental magic groups and energy magic groups respectively.

And Karya, who was supposed to help Lux prepare for the class, returned to his own small world as if he was slacking off.

In the small world, yellow sand blew and fluttered.

It seemed as if it was snowing heavily outside.

Karya's small class·Plant Catalytic Magic:

Although they both seem to accelerate plant growth, there is an essential difference between Bunoklin's magic and Fuquelin's magic - the former consumes his own magic power to accelerate the growth of plants; the latter uses his own magic power to accelerate the life cycle of plants.

The former is regarded as converting magic power into plant growth, while the latter is closer to time magic, which accelerates the entire plant.
