Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1582
"the day after tomorrow?!"

Hearing such a time, Nya's voice couldn't help but raise a pitch, and the new test paper that Xia Duo took out was almost half of the preliminary test paper.

But having already had experience, she still has a good idea of ​​how much content there is in a test paper and the time it takes to make a test paper.

At this time, almost all the time other than sleeping is full!

"Xia Duo—" Niya looked at Xia Duo pitifully, "Can you add more time? I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

"no!"

Xia Duo resolutely rejected Niya, "If you want to complete the studies that ordinary people cannot complete in a short period of time, you will naturally need to work harder than ordinary people."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo felt that he was being too harsh on Niya by saying this, and his tone softened a lot, "I will always be with you during this time, except when you are doing the test papers, what questions do you have? You can ask me any of them."

"OK then."

Niya knows that if she wants to get something, she must give something. She doesn't really resist Xia Duo's teaching method, but she has not yet adapted to this high-intensity learning state.

But if Xia Duo was with him, it wouldn't be so unbearable.

……

Next, Xia Duo replaced the image of the projection window with a blue sky, and Niya began to correct the test paper in front of this bright window.

During this period, Niya would ask Xia Duo any incomprehensible questions, and Xia Duo was not impatient at all. She studied carefully and explained carefully, and the time passed quickly in such a fulfilling process.

Of course, in addition to studying with Niya, Xia Duo's main energy is still on the follow-up design of the floating city. Now he has only completed the design of the flight control system and the repair and maintenance system.

In the future, there will be more spell designs for functional systems that he needs to complete bit by bit. This is difficult to do by others, so he can only do it slowly by himself.

It's not that Xia Duo is unwilling to pretend to be someone else, but that there is really no one available.

But fortunately, as long as he completes the design of the main system of this experimental floating city, it will be much more convenient for him to hand over the follow-up improvement work to others.

Two years later, the first batch of high-level mages under the new system may have been born, and this group of people may also be the first batch of full-time researchers in the floating city.

"It's not bad to be just a founder!" Xia Duo thought quite complacently.

……

On the other side, Horst's laboratory.

A group of people crowded in the not-so-spacious spell laboratory, and in the center was a set of Mithril components specially designed to verify related issues.

At this time, this set of complex mithril components roughly in the shape of a hollowed-out sphere is emitting a glowing glow, which looks quite extraordinary.

But the expressions on the faces of the onlookers seemed dissatisfied, especially Master Horst, the leader of the research room, whose face was even darker.

After observing for a while, Horst paused the energy flow of the mithril components, turned his head to look at one of the onlookers, and asked:
"How is the situation? Is the interference in Area 14 and Area 16 still as serious as before?"

"It's more serious than before! After accurate measurement, the energy fluctuation after the interference of these two areas has exceeded the mission limit by at least 5 times, and it was only 3 times before."

The respondent glanced at the other person, saw that the other person did not respond, and continued: "In addition to the energy interference in areas 14 and 16, at least sixteen areas such as 25, 25, 42, and 41 have energy resonance between circuits. Leading to the loss of function of this large area."

As he said that, the respondent pointed to a place in the hollowed-out sphere in the center of the laboratory, and his expression became serious, "This improvement, I don't know, it failed to solve the problems discovered last time, but added a lot of new problems."

Horst heard that, although his face was a bit ugly, he was not too depressed. After all, it was really difficult for them to face such a task that they had never touched before.

After thinking for a while, he asked everyone: "Then do you think there is something wrong with our current thinking?"

Everyone was silent, and Horst was not angry, but squeezed out a smile, "Don't say anything! No matter what, this task must continue. Think of a way and talk about your own ideas!"

"Then I'll just say it!"

This is when another person stood up, "I think there is nothing wrong with the current thinking. I believe everyone can see that although the tasks given above are separate, if there is no accident, they should be in the same system. There is nothing wrong with the overall simulation theory, and there are so many irremediable problems that are either really beyond our capabilities, or—”

"say no more!"

Horst immediately interrupted the other party, "Since the above has given such a task, what we can do is to try our best to complete it, instead of looking for other reasons."

Horst's words made the laboratory fall into silence again, and it took a long time before someone made a new suggestion:

"Then can we do one task at a time like before? Anyway, that's how the higher ups issue tasks!"

"No!" Horst once again expressed his objection, "The previous proposals that were submitted separately for the task have all been sent back, and it's still like this now, don't you want the funds for the next quarter?"

"Uh--"

"Forget it, think about it again, I'll go find Mark and the others to find out."

After speaking, Horst left the laboratory.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but let out a long sigh in unison. It is estimated that the other two independent research laboratories will not be able to do anything for the tasks that their research laboratories cannot complete.

"Don't be dejected, I have a new idea, Mickey, Page, you can help me process the Mithril components, and everyone else should go and rest for a while! Jonathan, tidy up here and wait for the next test."

The speaker was a middle-level mage from Horst's research office, who was usually well-known, but at this moment, the others were also convinced and took action one after another.

……

Mark's lab.

Horst came here at the first stop. He didn't expect that besides Mark, he also met Steele, the head of another mass production design and research room.

"Horst, you're here, and we're going to find you too! I didn't expect you to come to us first!" Steele said with a look of surprise.

Compared to Horst, who was already an intermediate mage under the old system of the Tower of Time, Steele and Mark are both intermediate mages born from the low-level mage class under the new system.

Although the two think that they are not inferior to "veteran" middle-level mages like Horst in all aspects, after all, they are older than them in terms of qualifications and age. The front is on the top, which can make them feel more at ease.

What Steele and Horst said about going to find each other was not entirely polite. Just now he and Mark suggested to test Horst, but they didn’t expect Horst to be more impatient than them.

On the other side, when seeing Steele and Mark both present, Horst knew that the other party might also have encountered a problem, so he didn't want to say any more vague and tentative words, and went straight to the point:
"I won't gossip, you must have guessed my reason for coming. Regarding this series of missions, I want to cooperate with you and complete them together!"
