Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1290 Worth millions of practical problems
There is no need to look at the final results of the experiment. Judging from the preliminary preparations for this experiment, Xia Duo gave up the idea of ​​returning to the main plane to continue making spell chips.

At least until the appearance of large-scale cheap high-quality Mithril, he is not prepared to do it.

Not to mention success or failure, there were not several million gold coins in the early stage, and even the materials needed for the experiment were not available.

Even if the materials are gathered, it's good to say that the experiment is successful, and if it fails, it can only be heard.

On the projection plane, the research institute pays for the experimental consumption, but when he returns to the main plane, Xia Duo really doesn't have that much spare money to do this kind of experiment.

The spell chip was arranged very late in Xia Duo's plan. When he was on the main plane, he only occasionally remembered it and sighed.

It is on this plane of projection that he has such good conditions to complete a primary chip with a very single function.

When he returned to the main plane, as long as Mithril had money and he had [Element Extraction] refining technology, he could always get the high-quality Mithril he wanted, but high-precision alchemy circles were hard to come by.

In this regard, Xia Duo also has an alternative plan, but it is only a guess after all, and he does not yet have some prerequisites for that plan, and there is no way to verify it.

……

After playing with the million-dollar fine gold ball in his hand for a while, Xia Duo finally remembered that the spell chip hadn't really been completed yet.

It was only the last step to connect to the magic net.

"Smallness" is not the main feature of the spell chip. One of its most important features is the integration of a large number of spells, similar to multiple spellcasting, or superposition of effects.

Xia Duo's [Force Field Shield] chip integrates 28 1-ring [Force Field Shield] spells in a fine gold ball with a diameter only the size of a human pupil.

The theoretical protection strength at the time of design is similar to the degree that the core element unit of the 1st ring [force field shield] can be upgraded to the 5th ring and 6th ring.

In other words, this spell chip can actually be replaced by a simpler 5-level spell, or a higher level 5-level spell.

Where is the practical significance of its existence?
This means that even if the magic net collapses, this spell chip can still exert its normal protective effect, and it will lose its effect unless the magic net completely disappears.

At the same time, the threshold for making this chip is actually not high. As long as the conditions are right, a low-level mage can complete it.

In other words, as long as the conditions are right, its cost can be as low as the cost of materials.

The material cost is actually a false proposition. It may be expensive at the beginning, but when the technology breaks through a certain limit, it will become extremely cheap.

In addition, since the spell chip is an integrated effect, now Xia Duo can make 28 in 1, so it is not impossible to make 280 in 1 in the future.

It's like Moore's Law for chips in his hometown. As long as people continue to join in the research, it will actually develop very fast. Xia Duo is very confident in this.

……

There was nothing wrong with the process of linking to the magic net, and it went smoothly beyond Xia Duo's expectations. The link was connected step by step according to the planned link sequence, and there was no mistake in the whole process.

It wasn't until the connection was completed, and in the magic vision, that the fine gold ball emitted a dim but thick magic aura, that he realized that the trial production of the chip was probably stable.

If there is a problem with the subsequent excitation, it has nothing to do with the design, but the production process, and the purity of Mithril may be affected.

Looking carefully at this completed version of the [Force Field Shield] chip, Xia Duo seemed to have a future scene in which various spell chips appeared in large numbers.

Immediately afterwards, he brought this unique spell chip to the calming field of the laboratory.

After driving away all the other irrelevant people, he applied a range of evasion and detection magic with worry, which activated the chip.

……

As soon as the chip was activated, a large number of palm-sized diamond-shaped force fields emerged from Xia Duo's body, densely packed, layered on top of each other, and continuously extended outward.

Force field protection is very effective against physical attacks, but not so effective against energy attacks. Of course, the protection effect is also there, at least stronger than bare boards.

And now this 28-in-5 force field protection spell has a protection strength of more than [-] rings.

Although this is not very practical for Xia Duo now, it has great potential for future development. Seeing the successful activation of the spell chip at this moment, Xia Duo nodded excitedly.

"It's finally here!"

At this moment, Xia Duo really wanted to share the joy in his heart with more people, but in order to stay in this projection plane, he still suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

As the mood gradually calmed down, Xia Duo also began to think about a more realistic problem. Even if this chip has such good conditions as the Imperial Remains Research Institute, it is not easy to be born.

If it is placed on the main plane, how long will it take for it to reappear?

In addition, this is just a 28-in-[-] chip with simple functions. If it is necessary to realize more complex functions, or to make the computer he has been thinking about, how complicated is the manufacturing process?

In addition to manufacturing, there are also big problems with design.

Xia Duo had been thinking about the design of this chip as early as in the main plane, but it was put on the shelf because there were no conditions to realize it, and other chips needed to be redesigned.

It can even be said that even with the [Force Field Shield] chip, 28-in-29 and [-]-in-[-] are not the same concept at all!
Xia Duo hasn't figured out the rules here. To efficiently design various chips, more research is needed, or to be more specific, more time, personnel, and resources are needed.

Thinking about the complexity of the electronic chip industry in my hometown, magic chips may have fewer requirements than electronic chips due to the strong productivity of the spellcasters themselves, but it will not be much less.

Just thinking about it casually, Xia Duo can come up with a lot of questions.

"Education popularization must persist! The population of the territory must also continue to increase!"

In the magical world, individual power may be infinitely strong, but the collective still has an overwhelming advantage. Can the sum of two strong men be weaker than one strong man?

Furthermore, even the strong may not necessarily surpass the weak in wisdom.

It is usually said that a mage is the embodiment of wisdom, but in fact, a mage can only be said to be the embodiment of intelligence or knowledge.

Following the path of the predecessors, as long as one is willing to work hard and learn from the gourd, it is not difficult to become a mage, or even a grand arcanist.

Wisdom, however, is a higher form of intelligence. It is an advanced creative thinking ability based on physiological and psychological organs that life possesses, including all abilities such as perception, memory, understanding, analysis, judgment, and sublimation of nature and humanities.

Having intelligence is not the same as having wisdom.

For example—inspiration should belong to the category of wisdom, not intelligence.

Inspiration may be accumulated and foreshadowed in the early stage, or it may appear without warning. Even the strong cannot guarantee that they will be able to generate inspiration when they need it.

If this is the case, isn't it an omniscient mode created out of nothing!

Individual wisdom cannot be omniscient, but collective wisdom is not necessarily incapable of being close to omniscience. As long as there are enough individuals, all situations can be enumerated exhaustively.

This is also the principle of civilization that Xia Duo has always believed in!
