Sword of Dawn

Gawain quickly understood how Kamel participated in Hetty's experiment by accident, and how they cooperated to break through the difficulty of precise control of the crystal, all of which made Gawain feel uncomfortable. No exclamation: Bringing Kamel out of the Fortress of Disobedience was definitely one of the smartest decisions he'd ever made in his life.

"I used the rune design ideas from the Gondor period—of course, these magic circles have undergone great changes. Thanks to Miss Jenny and Rebecca for their help. Without them, the traditional way of thinking It is an unimaginably large project to rearrange these runes," Kamel pointed to the runes and notches on the metal structure of the magic device, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I also have to thank my mutated body , allowing me to interfere with the flow of magic power in a way I never thought of before. The device in front of you is already a mature sample. After my preliminary test, it can completely perform long-term magic under stable and controllable conditions. operation."

Gao Wen didn't talk nonsense: "Let's demonstrate."

"Very happy." Kamel said, and then he floated to the side of the magic device and injected his magic power into the base of the magic device—because this device is not currently connected to the magic net of the Lord's Mansion, Kamel acted as the energy source himself.

After the magic power was injected, Gawain saw an unforgettable scene in his life——

The magic device hummed slightly, and the crystal structure of its main body was quickly lit up. A large number of blue light patterns emerged on the surface of the crystal, and began to flicker as if breathing. The metal base and top cover of the device It also began to tremble slightly at the same time, and with a light "click", the fixing buckles around the device automatically popped open, and then the top cover above it and the Home crystal as the main body broke away from the base under the action of magic, Start to float up slowly!

The entire device that was originally connected together has finally become three independent parts. The base is firmly fixed on the ground, while the main body crystal and the upper top cover are floating in mid-air, emitting breathtaking sounds as the magic power surges. Intoxicated light blue light comes.

The stable and continuous magic force field is centered on this device and quickly spreads into the surrounding space.

Before Gawain could give an order, Hetty had already picked up another device from the table: the device was a metal tray with a simple structure, a Holm crystal the size of a thumb was fixed in the center of the tray, and a card next to the tray On the slot, a depleted magic storage crystal is fixed.

As the Holm crystal on the tray and the magic device in the center of the study glowed synchronously, Gawain saw that the surface of the magic storage crystal also shone with a light blue halo, and the entire crystal was visible to the naked eye. Speed ​​brightened up.

It's a receiving device, and it's powering the crystal!

Gawain suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and quickly asked, "What is its effective range?"

"This experimental device can cover the entire block with a magic field—in fact, its magic field coverage will be even larger, but after a distance of more than 300 meters, the strength of the magic field will rapidly decline. In this range It is almost impossible to provide effective magic power output."

"What about the carrying capacity? For example, if there are a large number of magical machines running at the same time in this range, can this crystal hold up? If it can't hold it, what safety measures does it have to prevent accidents?"

"I have considered this problem. This experimental crystal can theoretically support hundreds of the largest current magic engines to run at the same time. After the process is improved in the later stage, this value will definitely be higher, but if the magic power consumption speed within the range If it really exceeds the crystal's tolerance limit, then the limiter floating on the top will play a role in the flow-its floating effect is maintained by a suspended magic circle carved on the black stone substrate, once there is too much in the range With a strong surge of magic power, the fragile black stone will break immediately, and the limiter will fall on the crystal. After the two touch, a circuit like a rune trigger will be formed, changing the connection of these runes on the crystal surface, making its output power Forced lowering - if this still does not relieve the pressure on the crystal, then the second limiter on the base will self-melt later, allowing the crystal to fall back into the base, while completely cutting off the external output. But this way the base It is completely scrapped, and it must be replaced as a whole before it can be used again...but it is better than losing the main body of the crystal or having a waste energy explosion."

Gawain stared at the small metal structure floating above the crystal: "So this is the first-level limiter... You used black stones in the limiter? Is this the idea of ​​'insurance medium' in the magic net?"

"Yes, I refer to the 'safety' device you designed in the magic net," Kamel admitted with a little embarrassment, and then sighed, "This is really an idea worth thinking about and learning - poor quality materials It also has its uses, as long as it is used properly, its fragility itself is a kind of value..."

"As far as I know, the safety devices that people set up in magic facilities during the Gondor period usually set a saturated charging crystal on the breakpoint, and use it to blow up the out-of-control magic circle unit... The idea of ​​'fusing' It’s the same, but the cost can be very different.”

Kamel sighed: "After all, magic power was not worth much in those days, and there were a lot of charging crystals."

Gao Wen also sighed in his heart, but besides sighing, he was more pleased to look at the crystal device that was still in operation. Since Kamel did not stop supplying energy to it, the device was still floating stably in mid-air , continuously releasing energy to the outside world.

A problem that the magic net has been facing for a long time has finally been solved.

That is the energy transmission, or "wiring" problem.

Magic power is a very special kind of energy. Although it is becoming the foundation of Cecil's industrialization, it has a completely different nature from the "electricity" that serves as the foundation of industry on Earth: this energy cannot be transmitted with "wires".

Magic power can only be transmitted through runes, through rune arrays that are connected together one by one. The traditional so-called "magic guide material" is actually just a unit in the magic circle, so that it can transmit magic power That's all, there is no way to shape the magic material into filaments to transmit the magic power to a long distance - before Hetty and Kamel's device appeared, the only way to transmit magic power to a long distance It is to spread the magic net unit honestly all the way.

what does that mean?It means that if you want to transmit the magic power to every corner of a certain place, every corner must be covered with magic nets!At least, it is necessary to ensure that there is at least "one column" of magic net units in the place where the magic power is transmitted.

No matter how low the cost of each "honeycomb unit" is, it still requires an astonishing amount of resources. Arranging rune substrates piece by piece is much more expensive than pulling the same metal into thin wires to make wires.

What's more, after more and more high-rise buildings appear on the territory, the supply of magic power will encounter the problem of height difference. It is even more unrealistic to simply lay the magic net to transmit the magic power - not only the magic circle must be used to lay the ground , and had to use a magic circle to paste the wall, even if Gao Wen turned his head and dug up the grave of Charles I, it would not be able to afford it!

Gawain did tell Rebecca that he would spread the magic net all over the world, but he didn't intend to spread it like this...

Of course, due to the dissipation of magic power, even without direct physical contact, the magic net unit can provide energy to items within a certain range, but this distance is actually pitifully small: a single magic net unit can only radiate magic power for a few minutes. centimeters, and even if it is a factory-level magic net, the distance between the "wiping nets" around it is only a few meters... It has no practical significance at all.

But with this device in front of him, the bottleneck of magic power transmission has finally been broken through.

A cheap, convenient technology that can transmit magic power without laying the magic net all the way across is right in front of Gao Wen.

After a long time, he looked away and looked at Hetty and Kamel standing beside him: "What's the name of this device?"

"I haven't named it yet," Hetty shook her head slightly. "This experimental device was also made by Kamel just now——I didn't know the news until I returned to the laboratory, so I brought the device directly to you."

Having said that, she lowered her head in embarrassment: "I know this is not rigorous... This kind of thing should be tested more, and I will report to you after I have more detailed data, but I can't help but want to put This is good news for you, and I want to show you off..."

"It's okay, I understand your excitement," Gawain smiled and waved his hands. Hetty seemed to be a mature and stable person, but in front of Gawain, she would show such a childish side from time to time, which is also considered Personal characteristics, "Since it doesn't have a name yet, let's call it...the obelisk of magic energy, the obelisk that transmits magic energy, simple and easy to understand, how about it?"

"Ah, it's a good name," Kamel admired the name, and the brightness of the whole person increased a little, and then he gradually stopped injecting energy into the magic obelisk, allowing the various components of the device to land again, Combined together, "I will complete the remaining test items on it as soon as possible after I go back, and hand over the data to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, and let Mr. Egg arrange the production."

"Very good," Gawain nodded approvingly. He was very happy to see that Kamel had adapted to the rules of the territory in such a short period of time, and his relationship with Nicholas Egg seemed to be pretty good. Then he took a deep breath Take a breath, and then exhale slowly, "But while soaking in joy, let's not forget to think about some problems."

Hetty was a little puzzled: "Think about some questions?"

"Ask me a few more questions about why," Gawain said unhurriedly, looking at the obelisk of magical energy that had stopped functioning, "Have you ever thought about why magic power can be used remotely without rune contact?" Why can’t it escape from the magic net? Why is there magic power everywhere in the natural environment, but only the magic power that is extracted through the magic net and released through the magic energy obelisk can be absorbed? Utilization? Extending from these questions, what is the nature of magic power? How does magic power in nature change after it enters the magic net? These are all questions.”

Seeing Kamel and Hetty's confused expressions, Gao Wen paused, and continued: "In addition to these questions that require long-term thinking, we can also think about it—this kind of magical power that can be transmitted remotely. , besides being used to transmit energy, what else can it be used for?"

Chapter 0262 Leading to the Truth

Gao Wen asked one after another, and after dropping down several "why" in a row, Hetty felt that the excitement and joy just now had been cooled down quite a bit - not long ago, she thought that she She came into contact with a field in the magical world that no one had ever set foot in before, and mastered new knowledge that she had never imagined in the past. However, after Gao Wen asked "why", she realized that what she didn't understand was even more complicated. too much.

Instead of revealing the truth of the world, he became more deeply aware of his ignorance of the truth.

Even though this was not the first time that Gawain threw out a series of "why", Hetty still felt full of pressure.

But there was no look of disappointment on the face of Kamel next to him—because he had no expression at all—the ancient magister fell into deep thought after hearing Gawain’s questions. Echoing in his mind, he suddenly felt a kind of enthusiasm that had been absent for hundreds of years was overflowing from his heart.He thought of a long time ago, when he was still a magic apprentice, and when he first learned that there are so many mysteries in this world, his mentor once said:

Human beings always go from the unknown to the known, and then from the known to another unknown. As long as you can still have new confusion about the world in your mind, your progress will never stop.

Kamel did not expect that it was such a knight lord who gave him a new impetus in the magical world, and he sincerely sighed: "Lord, your desire to seek the truth is admirable, it even exceeds A lot of old-fashioned magic researchers."

"I'm just very curious, and I can't help but think about a lot of things." Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, looking at the magic obelisk in the middle of the room, "I had doubts about this a long time ago. ——What is the "magic power" that spreads all over the world? Why are only a small number of human beings able to sense magic power naturally? How does magic power affect all things? I once wanted to find the answer from ancient classics and historical books, but Nothing... People seem to be obsessed with the unilateral use of magic power, but few people consider its essence..."

Kamel let out a long sigh: "I believe that in the long history, there have always been people who have raised this issue, but unfortunately... our civilization has still not been able to take a crucial step in this essential field."

Gawain thought about it. The appearance of the Obelisk of Mana Energy actually gave him some associations, and this association cleverly coincided with some of his conjectures about magic power a long time ago:

Is magic a "wave"?Or something similar in nature to "waves"?Or is the phenomenon of "magic" itself a kind of fluctuation?

But in this world of weird physical properties, do the ubiquitous "waves" still fully follow the laws that Gao Wen knew?Picking up a stone and throwing it into the water, the water ripples seem to be no problem, but in the invisible magic field, will everything still work like the material world?

Even the legendary knight's magic power perception ability can only perceive the vague and chaotic magic power environment in nature. At this stage, there is no technology that can accurately observe and test magic power... But maybe Kamel can?

Thinking of this, he looked at Kamel and Heidi, trying to inspire their inspiration: "Have you ever thought about what is the magic power used to spread when the magic obelisk is running?"

"'By means of' what?" Hetty frowned, showing a thoughtful look, "The transmission of magic power requires a medium...but how does it spread without a medium..."

Kamel was also lost in thought: "The ancient communication spells were the first to break through this bottleneck. The information is carried by magic power and can reach distant places in an instant, but its appearance is just a product of coincidence. The ancient magicians just I discovered it by accident and thought it was very useful, but until today, no one has figured out what the principle of this spell is...Those ancient rune combinations have not been improved for thousands of years."

Gawain's heart seemed to be lit up. He seemed to see a glimmer of hope to unravel the mystery of magic power in the ancient communication spell and the current obelisk of magic power, and also saw some kind of dawn to solve the communication problem: "Although The actual effects are different, but they all involve the spreading of magic 'out of thin air', and I think there is something in common."

Hetty looked down at the "receiving device" in her hand. The small Holm crystal inlaid in the center of the receiving device had dimmed as the "transmitting end" went out, but her thinking was more active than before.

What kind of mystery is hidden in this small device...?

"Actually, I have a conjecture," Gawain cautiously put forward his opinion seeing that Kamel and Hetty were in a state of thinking, "Do you know the ripples in the water?"

"Ripples in the water?" Hetty couldn't think of it immediately, "What is the relationship between the ripples in the water and magic power?"

"The ripples will spread outward!" The arcane brilliance on Kamel's body brightened for a moment, but then he fell into hesitation and confusion, "Is it such a simple explanation? The magic power... set off ripples, so something Does it spread along the ripples? Is it information...or energy? What is the 'medium' that carries the ripples? The water surface makes waves because of the water, but what is in the empty space... the magic power itself is Is it the medium?"

"Maybe you don't need a medium?" Gao Wen tentatively said, but then he stopped talking, "I just said it casually, don't be affected by my words."

"We are all just guessing, and don't take all the assumptions made during the guessing stage seriously," Kamel said seriously, "Lord, every word of yours is very informative—if you have any guesses, just say it Well, I can see that you've thought a lot on this subject, and I'm afraid there's something based on assumptions to come up with."

Gawain didn't expect Kamel to be so perceptive, he hesitated for a moment - not that he didn't want to say it, but he knew that the rules of this world were very different from the earth he knew, and he was worried that what he proposed based on the experience of the earth A nearly complete set of theories will mislead the thinking of local researchers and lead them astray, but Kamel's words made him make up his mind: a real researcher must be able to make bold assumptions and carefully verify .

As long as he emphasizes that everything he said is speculation and does not interfere with Hetty or Kamel's research ideas, then there is nothing to worry about.

So he roughly stated the concepts of fluctuations and fields—he deliberately made his descriptions simple and straightforward. On the one hand, this is for ease of understanding, and on the other hand, it is to make the knowledge more like he has figured it out by himself. , which will appear more realistic.

"To be honest, these are all my guesses based on my daily experience and my superficial understanding of magical phenomena," Gao Wen emphasized, "But I think that's the case when searching for knowledge and truth, especially in the In areas that we cannot observe intuitively, all we can do is to assume the unknown based on the known, boldly assume—and then seek confirmation or falsification.”

"Suppose...and then verify it..." Kamel pondered, "We did the same in those days."

Gao Wen smiled slightly, and his heart twitched slightly: This B didn't pretend to be successful...

But Kamel went on to say: "But there are not many people who can understand it as deeply as you, especially you are a knight lord who was born as a warrior, and you can also have this kind of awareness on the road to explore the truth. This has surpassed many mediocre so-called 'scholars'."

Just as Gawain was about to speak, Hetty reminded Kamel with a serious face next to him: "Master Kamel, a knight is better than a mage..."

Gawain broke out in a cold sweat as soon as Hetty uttered the first few words, and before the other party finished speaking, he coughed vigorously: "Ahem! Curiosity is a human instinct, as long as the motivation to explore is stimulated, the knight It's no different from a mage."

Kamel was actually quite curious about what Hetty wanted to say, but the low air pressure escaping from Gawain made him immediately choose to ignore this question, and nodded seriously: "I definitely disagreed with this sentence before, But now I have to agree with you."

Gao Wen didn't continue to extend the topic - he had already mentioned enough points, I believe that with Kamel's intelligence, he only needs to find one or two breakthrough points, coupled with his own "natural ability", he will definitely be able to Forging a way in the essence of magic, and continuing to instill knowledge can only restrain or influence the thinking of this ancient scholar.

Kamel left with the transmitter and receiver of the obelisk of magic energy. The ancient master couldn't wait to devote himself to a new round of research. He has found his way forward in this strange new era. direction, but before that, he must first hand over the relevant technical information to Mr. Nicholas Egg of the Machinery Research Institute, so that the achievements at the current stage can be converted into practical technologies available in the territory as soon as possible.

There are indeed too few talents in the territory. If there are a few apprentices as assistants, he can send the apprentices to run errands, and he can save all his time in the laboratory——Kamel took the "prototype" with his evocation hand Machine" drifting all the way rapidly, while thinking about how to increase the number of magicians in this land.

Hetty stayed in Gawain's office. This elegant lady stood quietly beside Gawain's desk, and said softly, "Ancestor, I think your ancestral teachings are quite..."

Elegant is false, thinking gradually Rebecca is true.

"Don't keep spreading nonsense after drinking high." Gao Wen felt dizzy when he heard this, and felt that he had to find some time to correct the three views of his two granddaughters, "I asked you to investigate clearly. Is it?"

"I've found out, it's exactly as you expected—a considerable number of the refugees who arrived in the territory after the first snow fell had doubts about their identities, and these people with doubtful identities came from almost the entire southern border except Leslie Territory. , and various places outside the Kant Territory.”

Chapter 0263 Spy, Excellent Spy

Hearing Hetty's words, Gawain was not at all surprised, because he had expected everything.

Suddenly resurrected from the dead, suddenly returned to the southern border, suddenly established a pioneering territory, and suddenly began to export cheap "secondary alchemy potions" and magic machinery... The name Gawain Cecil itself is an eye-catching signboard, and then Coupled with this series of events, it is impossible for the nobles in the southern region not to be curious about this rapidly changing land.

The contemporary Ansu nobles are dull and slow. When Gao Wen just started to open up and build, most of the southern nobles didn’t realize it at all. Probably in their concept, 800 people ran to the foot of the dark mountains to develop and survive. Lu, even if he survives, it may take several years to become self-sufficient, and before that, the entire pioneering territory may need to be supported by the royal family, so they didn't put too much energy into it at the beginning——

No one can imagine how these 800 people gained a firm foothold under the leadership of Gawain Cecil, and no one can imagine that this piece of land has exploded to the top in less than a year. With a population of over [-], cities and towns have been built, with a stable food base, and even began to export products and grab profits. The dull nobles of the southern border probably only realized it when the caravans from Cecil Territory poured into their territory. The situation changed. As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw that merchants in the name of the Cecil Chamber of Commerce had spread all over the southern region. Only then did they take action slowly.

Well, compared to the current aristocratic system, the aristocrats in various places have actually responded quite quickly, but in Gao Wen's view, they are still slow enough.

Gao Wen listened carefully to Hetty's report, and the latter couldn't help asking curiously after he finished speaking: "Ancestor, how did you know in advance that a large number of refugees who came to seek refuge in winter would be spies sent by nobles from all over the world?" ?”

Gao Wen said indifferently: "It's very simple. They can walk to Cecil's territory alive. This is the most suspicious thing."

Hetty froze for a moment, and suddenly understood what Gawain meant.

It is winter in Ansu now, and the southern border is the most desolate place in Ansu. The wilderness here is far more dangerous and vast than in the central region. Especially for Cecil, who is at the foot of the dark mountains, the surrounding traffic conditions are even worse. is bad.

Under such circumstances, how did the refugees who lacked food, lacked warm clothes, were weak, and had no means of transportation get to Cecil Territory?

Although it sounds cruel, the fact is: the real refugees will either not migrate to Cecil Territory, or they will die on the way of migration.

Thinking of this, Hetty could only sigh and shake her head slightly, while Gao Wen asked her casually: "Didn't there be much commotion during the investigation?"

The territory will be seriously short of population for a long time in the future, and attracting foreign population will be a long-term policy, so even though he knows that there will be some "not simple" guys among the refugees, Gao Wen does not want this kind of investigation work to be too troublesome Well, once people panic, not only the outsiders will be afraid, even those new immigrants who have recently joined the territory will become unstable, which is not what he wants to see.

Heidi couldn't help laughing when she heard this question, she shook her head: "Nothing happened, in fact, it's too easy to find those guys. The population registration system and resident district management system you implemented are very difficult for those guys. It's a new thing, they probably never thought that everyone on this land would have their own identity, name and registration information, and they would have been exposed without even going through the detailed investigation by the government affairs department. In addition, according to your instructions from the beginning Except for those who were caught on the spot when passing on information or trying to sneak through the checkpoint, we haven't alarmed the rest of the locked-up spies, but just monitored them."

Cecil has an unprecedented population management system in the aristocratic territory of this era. Whether it is entry-exit registration, resident registration, or community management, it is beyond anyone's imagination. They pretended to be migrant workers and mixed into the construction team that returned from outside the city every day. They were dumbfounded when the workers lined up to hand in their work cards and receive their meal tickets. The team members took them away directly, and most of them pretended to be refugees and tried to get through at the docks, city gates and other gates... They probably never thought in their life that there would be any nobleman who would specially register the name, age, origin and origin of each "untouchable" Moreover, the "untouchables" had to receive observation education in isolation camps before entering the city. Almost [-]% of the spies were exposed during this process.

Of course, there are also many lucky and smart guys who have passed the tests. No matter what method they use, they have successfully sneaked into the city, but they imagined their actions after entering the city. The master is concerned, most of them will be kicked into the gutter to fend for themselves, and then they will move around to collect information while no one is in charge, and develop their influence among the local gangsters by the way", but the actual development is that they are registered After collecting a lot of information, he became a glorious Cecil construction worker. He had a badge to work and a job number to go in and out. He lived in a dormitory and ate in a collective cafeteria. By the time they remembered that they were actually spies, they had already moved on the construction site. Bricks for days...

Gawain listened to Hetty's report and found various situations during the investigation, and even felt a little sympathy for those spies.

Hetty was even more smiling throughout the whole process, and after the report, she couldn't help sighing: "Ancestor, these personnel management methods you designed are really genius - although some manpower is required to operate and maintain them, as long as there are these systems , there is no guy with ulterior motives who can sneak into the territory!"

Gao Wen raised his eyelids and glanced at his eldest granddaughter: "Then you still complained to me every day?"

Hetty's face was a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head slightly: "At the beginning, I really thought I would be exhausted—but now it's all right, the government affairs department has been put into operation, and the newly recruited clerks and second-level managers have taken over most of the work. With work, I can relax a little bit."

Gawain nodded with a smile. Hetty is a person who never shows fatigue or other imperfections in front of others, but in front of herself, the "grandfather who unraveled the coffin", this lady has become more and more used to letting go. To blame herself, it is probably because she has to bear too much pressure on weekdays, but because of her own identity, she can only bear it by herself - now that there is finally an elder who can act like a baby and complain, she must gradually adapt to this way of getting along.

But no matter what, he still wanted to remind Heidi to prevent the other party from being too slack and careless: "The system is not completely perfect, and someone will always find a loophole. Don't pin everything on your opponent being always so stupid."

"Yes, I know." Hetty nodded immediately, and then asked, "Ancestor, how do you plan to deal with those families with evil intentions? They have already started sending spies to Cecil..."

Gao Wenhun waved his hand indifferently: "There is no need for additional response."

"what?"

"The Cecil Chamber of Commerce has already started operation. This network will penetrate the entire southern part of the kingdom, and even the entire kingdom. Its development comes first. Now we just need to slowly build and build this intelligence and Economic Network, there is no need for any more actions,” Gao Wen leaned back on the backrest, looked at the surprised Hetty and said slowly, “Those who are ‘curious’ about Cecil will not die Absolutely, as long as we are still developing, there will always be more eyes staring at this place, and with the promotion of magical machines and magic nets, they will only pay more attention to this place—under the current situation, we Instead of sending troops to wipe out all the nobles in the southern border, it is better to let them rest at ease and wait for Cecil's economic and intelligence network to penetrate into every corner of their territory."

The noose is slowly being tightened, and at this time the knife is on, and the prey in the noose will be scared away.

"But those spies who have already entered the territory...will they be executed?"

"Execution? Why execution?" Gao Wen smiled slightly, "They have already been exposed, and with their common sense and 'professional level', no matter how they jump, it is impossible for them to jump out of Cecil's management system. At this time, mass execution These spies from various aristocratic collars in the southern border will not do us any good. On the contrary, they will stimulate the fragile nerves of the aristocrats everywhere. They may not take any action on the surface, but the expansion of our chamber of commerce will definitely be affected. After all, in terms of face We still have to maintain the friendly situation."

Hetty frowned: "Then you mean..."

"Send all the spies who were directly captured to the north bank to open up wasteland, and those spies who have been locked but have not been alarmed...haven't they become glorious Cecil construction workers? Organize them into a new construction team, specializing in construction Various new districts—now the new industrial district is being built in the west of the territory, and there is a shortage of a large number of manpower, so it should be regarded as their new work tasks. Remember, this is a normal job transfer, don’t let them doubt this.”

Gao Wen paused, and then said: "The new construction team will be named 'No. From now on, if new spies are discovered, first check their capabilities, and those who are stupid will be sent to land reclamation or mining, and those who are smarter and good at disguising will be sent to the 20th brigade."

Hetty didn't turn the corner for a while, and asked in a daze: "Then don't these people realize that something is wrong? If their actions and communication are restricted, they should immediately realize that they have been exposed..."

Gao Wen smiled slightly: "No, you just need to tell them this - 'Don't ask about the situation, you are carrying out the Duke's secret plan', and they will figure out the rest."

Hetty was dumbfounded: "..."

After being stunned for a moment, Hetty held back another question: "But if they look at the people around them, won't they still realize the essence of the 25th Brigade... Ah, no, they won't realize it!"
