"Then let’s go, Lord Roland!"
Compared to the dispirited Ethan, Laila was much more composed. The young girl held a small handful of Ash Soil and flashed her fangs at Lin Lan.
"See you next time!" Lin Lan, with no airs, took the initiative to wave his hand, the smile on the young man’s face always friendly.
The figures of the children disappeared in a blink.
"I can see that you truly care for the people on this land."
Ed’s expression relaxed a lot at this moment, and he sighed, "These children will definitely grow into the most outstanding talents in the future."
"The young ones are the hope of the Ark’s future."
Lin Lan smiled, looking at Ed, and said calmly, "Release the Ash Soil from your hand, Ed, our purpose today is not actually in mining."
Ed froze for a moment.
"You’ve noticed it too, haven’t you?"
At this moment, the gray-haired young man’s eyes were somewhat deep, "As long as people recite specific texts within my territory, their consciousness will be transmitted to this ’fixed’ location."
"Your territory..."
Ed instantly realized something, the man stood frozen in place, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"You mean, we don’t need to rely on ’any’ communication devices, just master the pronunciation of Sun Praise Script, and everyone can achieve seamless face-to-face communication across hundreds of kilometers?"
Ed’s voice was a bit shaky, "You’re not joking, are you?"
"You should know, those two children just now are not physically with us in reality."
Lin Lan spread his hands and smiled, "Isn’t this the best example?"
In fact, he had thought of this a long time ago, the Divine Kingdom left to him by the Eternal Fierce Sun was not just a simple resource field.
Anyone can access the realm of the God with his permission, which clearly means—
The Sun Divine Kingdom is a super large-scale mental intranet that can be maintained indefinitely without any cost!
Under the influence of the God’s promise, within his domain, the efficiency of information transmission in each region was maxed out.
As it stands, the ’large-scale soul network’ unique to mortals is the first technological singularity Lin Lan demonstrated to this world!
Even in the glorious era of the Giants, entering the Divine Kingdom of the Eternal Fierce Sun was not something just anyone could do.
However, Lin Lan still wasn’t satisfied with this.
Looking at the whole world, the territory of the Apocalypse Ark is indeed too small, people can currently only communicate within the small circle of the Lion Heart’s Southern Territory.
In memory, the Giant Squad established base stations in the Divine Kingdom, even if the Ouroboros blurred the concept of space and distance, they could still successfully transmit signals to the Ark headquarters.
Regrettably, the technology of establishing base stations in the Giant Civilization was but a fleeting moment of brilliance.
Lin Lan also tried to use the Character Atlas Card to summon the Giant Squad in the Divine Kingdom, attempting to replicate this feat, but the four mighty giants currently summoned were merely indistinct phantoms without intellect.
The system showed that their souls were still dormant deep in the card collection and that only by upgrading the cards could the giants’ souls be fully liberated.
This is quite awkward indeed...
Lin Lan has yet to figure out how to upgrade the Illustration Card...
"In summary, the communication methods of the Apocalypse Ark still have significant limitations."
Lin Lan truthfully told the dumbfounded man, "This ’Collective Consciousness Network’ is just a ’prototype’ restricted within the territory, its uses are yet to be developed."
Collective Consciousness Network? Yet to be developed?
Such an incredible communication skill is merely a prototype?
At this moment, Ed felt as if the common knowledge in his mind was disintegrating, rumbling.
"You’re being too modest, my lord."
Ed shook his head, trying to calm his turbulent mind, with a wry smile he said, "Although I was just an insignificant Legion Centurion, I have seen a thing or two..."
He said in a low voice, "Even the Alliance’s top official Alchemy Team cannot realize the ’network prototype’ you have built..."
The Alliance indeed had means of long-distance communication.
But this technology was tightly controlled by the Governor, only allowing the Grey-clothed Secret Guard and some high officials to use it, and the Bright Gold Coins consumed to support alchemical communication was astronomical.
Ordinary Alliance citizens had no access to communication technology, even now, they still use ’mailing letters’, spending considerable Gold Coins to contact distant acquaintances.
Because the sea always watches over everything, ’long-distance communication’ is inherently an extremely dangerous act!
You never know if the guy you’re talking to is a normal ’person’.
The Empire goes without saying, everyone is aware the mechanical Nightmare of the Land of the Far North eternally curses that vast frosty territory, any information propagated through mechanical treasures will be distorted into a source of pollution.
If those lunatics had mature communication methods, the three Governors of the Alliance wouldn’t be worried about fighting against the New Empire, they’d just surrender with hands up...
Lin Lan listened attentively to the former officer of the Alliance’s narration, lost in thought.
It must be said, this world is indeed too abstract.
Fortunately, the brilliance of the sun is enough to dispel all pollution lurking in the shadows, the network built by the Ark was established from the beginning on the safest foundation!
"Let’s get back to the main topic, Ed, the Ark need not worry about others, next we need to cultivate intelligence officers within the legion specially for transmitting information."
Lin Lan gathered his thoughts, and said seriously, "In your view, how long will it take for our warriors to capture the farm at the Eastern Border?"
Talking about warfare, Ed’s expression quickly became serious, he pondered for a while, and soon made his judgment.
"The time is almost ripe, my lord."
Coincidentally, before the man’s voice had fallen, a young warrior wearing Sun Armor appeared before the two, panting heavily, his armor stained with patches of blood.
The newcomer was none other than Decurion Glen, dispatched by Ed to the Eastern Border!
"Lord Roland! Officer Ed!"
Glen naturally noticed Lin Lan and Ed, he instinctively stood up straight and exclaimed in disbelief, "It’s really you!"
"Calm down, Glen, there’s nothing to make a fuss about."
Ed instantly masked his shock, he cleared his throat, reverting to his usual cool, indifferent persona, spoke expressionlessly, "As legion soldiers, you must remain calm in any situation, just like I do."
Lin Lan: ...
The personality of this iron-faced officer is actually quite interesting...
Ed crossed his arms, coldly inquired, "Why did only you show up at the Sun Mine? Where is your commanding officer Jay?"
"Because only I have mastered the Sun Praise Script proficiently, my lord!"
Facing the highest-ranking officer appointed by the lord, Glen looked straight ahead and reported truthfully, "Officer Jay is busy tallying the battle spoils collected by the legion! Not letting up for a moment!"
"Very well, I’m proud of you, Glen, from today on, you’ll be on par with Colin as a Centurion."
Ed unhesitatingly promoted the young man before him, and said indifferently, "Quickly report the situation on the front lines."
"Yes, my lord!"
Glen’s eyes flickered with joy as he loudly reported, "Just now, we successfully occupied the territory of Lord William, completely taking over the Lulin Farm at the Eastern Border!"
"What about the lord himself and his guards?"
"As per Lord Roland’s orders, we didn’t spare a single one."
Glen fell silent for a moment, the suppression of intense anger in his words, "We discovered the dungeon of Lord William, where many underage children were held captive..."
The young man clenched his teeth, "I don’t know how to describe it... my lord, those Lion Heart nobles are all inhuman beasts!"
Ed nodded slightly.
"Next, your task is to guard the farm, and protect the logistics personnel Lord Roland sends over."
The man’s gaze was cold as ice, "Additionally, inform Jay and the other Decurions under his command that they must learn the Sun Praise Script within three days, or they’ll be kicked out of the legion!"
"Yes, officer!"
