After tidying up the stove, Carl hung the wrung rag on the hook, washed his hands, and loosened his bound long hair. Before he left, he gently pressed the switch and the kitchen returned to darkness.
Every weekend, Carl would discuss with his wife and invite Alyssa and Sayre to their house. They would sit at the dining table and have a gathering. It was warm, harmonious, and happy.
As soon as he returned to the living room, he placed his hand on his forehead and smiled helplessly. Linda was on the sofa again, ruffling Sayre's hair.
Alina couldn't be bothered with her daughter. Ever since she entered the elementary academy, although Linda was still mischievous at home, she was much more sensible than she used to be.
Even Sail felt that his sister was becoming more mature. If it was in the past, she would definitely take care of her ears and face so that her unimportant hair would not suffer.
" Linda," Eliza couldn't bear it and planned to divert her niece's attention." What has the academy been teaching recently?"”
Hearing the auntie's question, Linda put down her little paws for the time being and stopped fiddling with her brother's long hair. She sat on the sofa and recalled what her mentor had said recently.
" Hmm..." Linda counted with her fingers." Arithmetic, some magic knowledge, boring writing and reading." She thought of something and poked her brother." Oh right, there are also historical stories that are told every day, hmm?”
"Hmm?" Saier scratched his head, not understanding why his sister was poking his face again." What?”
Retracting her arm, Linda rolled her eyes." You... What classes are there in the middle school now?”
" It's the same," Sail replied without hesitation." But there's more Truth and Magic."”
"Oh?" Linda leaned out and blinked. She didn't believe what her brother said." No? Don't you have to keep learning the Weave…"
Glancing at her daughter and then at her husband, Alina took the empty fruit basket and walked toward the kitchen.
" In the latter half of the intermediate academy," Karl explained to his daughter with a smile, knowing the meaning in his wife's eyes," most of the content related to the Weave is handled by the history teacher.”
Feeling that Carl wasn't accurate enough, Eliza added in a low voice,"Which is the inspector."
Inspector…Thinking of the inspector, Sayre glanced at his uncle from the corner of his eyes. Actually, in private, Mufa and Karl were quite similar…How should I put it? She was virtuous and gentle on the inside?
"Hello? Hey!" Linda straightened her arms and waved her hands in front of her brother." History... no, inspector, what kind of knowledge do they teach about the Weave?”
With his sister blocking his view, Sail quickly came back to his senses."The magic net…the function of the magic net, the function of the magic net, and…the meaning of the magic net.”
" Sigh." Leaning back lazily, Linda laid on the sofa." Our instructor only talked about the communication of the magic net... Please, who doesn't know how to send messages? Is there a need to emphasize it?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Carl raised his finger and shook it gently.""That's not right. It's very important to understand the rules of magic net communication.”
Alyssa also reminded her niece,"Linda, what do you teachers talk about?”
" Nothing..." Linda waved her hand," It's just the communication distance, coverage, and monitoring..."
Reaching out his hand, Saier gently pointed at his sister."It's the supervisor."
" It's the same." Linda couldn't help but pinch her brother's face." It just warned us to read the basic rules of the magic net and not to do evil.”
Alina, who had just returned from the kitchen with a full bowl of fruit, could only sigh helplessly when she heard her daughter's misconception.
"Surveillance and surveillance are two different things.”After placing the fruit basket on the coffee table and pushing it toward the two children, Alina pulled off a small bunch of grapes and sat down next to her husband.
Carl and Eliza both nodded in agreement.
However, Sail felt that what his sister said made sense. If there was no monitoring function, there would be no way to monitor the Weave.
After all, the inspector and Esther either explicitly or hinted: The foundation of the monitoring system of the Weave was to monitor all aspects.
Picking a grape, Linda peeled it and carefully brought it to her brother's mouth."Now, open your mouth, ah-good, good!”
The fresh sweetness entered his taste buds and spread in Sayre's mouth. It was cold and refreshing, strange and familiar, making him want to eat another one.
Thinking of some problems, Saier lowered his head and gently pressed his temples, not reaching for the fruits that Alina had just washed.
"What's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong, Eliza called out softly to her son to bring him back to his senses.
"Oh…Oh!" Saier immediately sat up straight and looked up at his mother." It's nothing... It's just some problems..."
"Questions?" After spitting the grape seed into the tissue in his hand, Carl imitated his daughter and leaned back on the sofa." Tell me about it.”
After quietly eating the grape, Alina used the water to slow down the sweetness before feeding the winter jujube to her mouth. She wanted to hear what strange things were going on in her nephew's little head.
" Magic Net…" Being stared at by his family, Sail was a little embarrassed." Magic Net…What is it?"”
"Huh?" Linda tilted her head.
She found it strange. What was wrong with her brother's head? Dumb? Not bright anymore?
" This..." Carl was stunned and looked at his nephew in confusion." You shouldn't know?" The Weave-"
" The crystallization of the consciousness of all the people of the Republic," Saier shook his head and gave the correct answer before his uncle could finish." This, everyone has talked about it, I know... but..."
"How did the Weave come about…and where did it come from?”There was a hint of confusion in Saier's eyes." The instructor never mentioned it... The superintendent didn't mention it either..."
Understanding Saier's doubts, the adults remained silent and organized their words in their hearts, ready to explain.
" Gwelland, Magic Academy." As she had not graduated for long, Eliza still remembered the curriculum of the intermediate academy quite clearly." You should have taught it before?”
Saier didn't comment on his mother's words. From the origin, it was indeed the case…
The history textbooks of China would definitely record similar content: When Gwelland was under strict surveillance to investigate the Mage Association, Zu Zhongliang took the prototype of the magic net and left the magic academy to return to Daliang.
Even a naughty little brat like Linda knew about these things, let alone adults who had received complete education.
Thinking that his nephew's silence was acceptance and enlightenment, Carl smiled and told the story."When the new party was formed, they relied on the magic net to secretly operate on the southeast coast.”
" I remember, back in the academy, the old lightbulb…" Halfway through her sentence, Alyssa hurriedly changed her words." Our history teacher also said that at that time, the new party only thought that the magic net was a new communication technique from the upper continent.”
With his sister playing with his hair, Sail could only nod helplessly. His mother was right. The New Party only used the Mana Net as a secret simplified communication method.
According to the inspector, the magic net at that time only had a simple text messaging function. Although it was not as far as the real communication technique, it was silent and did not rely on magic crystals.
And after that? When would the Weave have a monitoring function?
Saier, who was immersed in his thoughts, was suddenly pulled back to reality by his uncle's voice.
" In fact, the communication range of the magic net is affected by the number of implanted people." Alyssa's words evoked the relevant memories in Karl's mind." In the beginning, the new party could only use the magic net to communicate within a village or a city.”
" By the time the entire Southeast is under control," Karl speculated, even though he had some doubts." The new party will be able to travel thousands of miles and contact the spies in Liangdu.”
" Evolution." After listening to her husband's speech, Alina wrote down the finishing touch." The more people implanted, the stronger their mental abilities, and the communication ability of the magic net will evolve.”
He hit the nail on the head.
Sail was a little annoyed that the inspector and the old man had both mentioned " the evolution of the Weave " in class, but he had actually forgotten this important point.
Why would the Weave evolve? Because the Weave was the product of the people's consciousness, the crystallization of the people's spirit.
The stronger the average spiritual ability of the Republic was, the more functions the Weave would have to discover, and the wider the coverage would be.
From short-distance messages to long-distance messages; From long-distance messaging to long-distance messaging…As the Republic grew, the Magic Web also evolved.
"When did the Mana Net become widespread?" Carl couldn't remember the exact time, so he asked his wife.
Alina shook her head. It had been a long time since she left the academy, so she didn't really remember such things.
" I know." Linda was very pleased with herself when she noticed her parents 'conversation." It was only after we recovered Sheng' an and unified Xia Zhou that we forcefully promoted the Magic Web as a communication tool.”
"Yes, that's right!" Knowing that her niece was right, Eliza snapped her fingers and patted her head to praise her." It seems like you're paying attention in class!”
His sister was right. He combed his messy hair and recalled what he had learned in class and read outside the classroom. After the unification of the Summer Continent, the Chinese government began to promote the magic net.
From then on, the magic net's transmission range expanded rapidly, covering all the regions within the country.
No matter where they went, as long as they stayed within the borders of the country, the implant could connect to the magic net and communicate with others.
Seer remembered that the book had also mentioned that if the wearer left the country for too long, the Weave in the wearer's body would gradually dissipate, which would cause a lot of trouble for the citizens who were doing business across continents and staying abroad for a long time.
"Surveillance? When is it?" Carl couldn't remember the time. He stroked his forehead and looked helpless." Am I old…"
" Before the war," Alyssa nibbled on a red fruit, her voice muffled." About…twenty to thirty years.”
" 2258," Bass read out the distant year, and Seer's thoughts returned to a year ago." The surveillance function appeared for the first time, causing a huge uproar in the Republic.”
Last year, the superintendent had explained the Weave monitoring system thoroughly-when it had originated, how it had been established, and how it had been implemented.
At first, the people in the judicial system were extremely opposed to this system. Even though the people proposed to amend the relevant laws to ensure that no one could obtain surveillance information, it still attracted strong protests.
In the end, the Ministry of Public Security took the lead and the New Party began to implement the " magic net surveillance " among all the administrative personnel of the Republic. After great results were achieved, this surveillance method was officially popularized throughout the country.
However, the process was not peaceful. Some agreed, some disagreed, some supported, and some opposed.
After several rounds of suppression, the stubborn opponents, the unpredictable guilty ones, and the cunning sinners were all purged. Only then did the 'magic net monitoring system' truly take effect in the entire Republic.
" I have a feeling that after the war, the Weave has gone astray." Alina recalled Morning Star's phone call and casually spread out her hands to complain." The enhancement of communication capabilities is limited, and we can't even send voice messages.”
"The Ministry of Communication has announced that a new communication function will be available next year." Carl quickly reminded his wife.
" We still have to wait for a year." After dinner and eating some fruits, Eliza felt more and more tired. She couldn't help but yawn." Voice communication... Picture... Actually, just the TV screen will do?”
" It's not the same..." Carl didn't know whether to laugh or cry." We can't let them carry the radio and talk to the screen..."
Seeing her sister's drowsiness, Alina stood up and went behind the sofa. She picked up Linda and held her under her arms, allowing her to struggle as she went up the stairs to the second floor.
"Time's up! Reading books! Sleep!"
"I won't! I won't! I won't!"
As a father, Carl could only smile awkwardly when he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter. He sent Eliza and Sail out the door.
It was indeed very late. Even the stars in the sky were reflecting this point with their dazzling light.
After returning home, he washed up and turned off the bedroom lights. Thinking of what the auntie said, the four of them also found something strange.
The Mana Net had indeed evolved with the Chinese, but why had the development of communication functions been so slow after the World War?
Could it be…because of the surveillance? Saier guessed.
Think about it, monitoring…the many visuals, words, and voices were like a video camera, consuming a lot of storage.
As expected, there were losses with gains-the development of communication would be delayed if the focus was placed on monitoring.
With the sleepiness from his meal, Seer fell asleep and stopped thinking about unnecessary questions.
However, Seer had forgotten that he had not found the answer today.
He only knew where he came from, but he did not know where he was born.
