Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1675 Cracking the Scroll Learning Machine

Of course, testing again will definitely not be that simple.

Xia Duo waited patiently after ordering the spirit of the communication magic weapon to complete the communication. During this period, he also tried to test it by himself, but it may be because the spirit of the magic weapon is connected to him in essence, and he did not find any abnormalities after testing many times.

"Sure enough, we still need an outsider!"

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo suspended the self-test, and was going to wait for Kent to come over.

Within a few minutes, Kent, who had just left not long ago, returned to this laboratory. Seeing this, Xia Duo nodded secretly, but this alone does not prove that the spirit of the weapon is unharmed.

Before Kent could speak first, Xia Duo took the initiative to ask: "Kent, you just received my summons, right?"

"Yes, President."

"Very well, I have a task for you now."

"President, please speak."

"Have you seen the crystal ball on the test bench? I want you to communicate with it, determine the identity of the person behind it, and evaluate its status."

"This—" Kent stared blankly. What kind of mission is this? He is not a special agent, and if he wants to inquire, will the other party tell the truth?How should he judge this?

"What? Is it difficult?" Xia Duo asked.

"No, President, I'm worried that if I can't do well, it will delay your business, President."

"Don't worry about this, just do it with confidence. If you feel unsure by yourself, you can take the crystal ball back and ask your friends to complete it together. I will reward everyone with points according to the completion status."

After Xia Duo said this, Kent agreed, but then asked a new question: "But how do we judge whether he is lying?"

"He won't lie, but he needs to consider whether he has concealed key information. You can test these slowly after you go back, and give me the results in two days."

After speaking, Xia Duo asked Kent to go back.

In fact, what he wants Kent to complete is a Turing-like test. As long as he intends to control it, it is of course impossible for Qi Ling to lie. In fact, this thing has no concept of lying at all, not even a self, so how can it lie?

Giving different answers can only be because he has set up a response mechanism in advance.

Just like the tower spirit of the Tower of Time, when Xia Duo was an apprentice, he still needed a special activation keyword to ask about the tower spirit, and he couldn't even ask some abstract questions.

Later he learned that Taling is actually intelligent and can understand abstract problems, but he didn't understand the nature of Taling until now.

It is not an artificial intelligence in the true sense, but part of the original caster's essence projection, which is solidified with ectoplasm.

In other words, Taling can actually be used as a teacher!
Perhaps its intelligence cannot support teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but it is more than enough to answer questions mechanically!

Moreover, the tower spirits created by smarter or knowledgeable people are definitely smarter and more knowledgeable than those created by ordinary people!

Of course, the Taling here mainly refers to the unedited original Taling.

If it has been specially edited and tuned, it may be even better, and of course it is not impossible to get worse.

……

After Kent left, Xia Duo silently formulated a few simple rules for the spirit of the communication magic weapon, and then took out the enlightenment scroll again.

It's just that this time he is not going to create a new weapon spirit, but is going to crack the scroll.

Blunders sent a total of ten Enlightenment scrolls, he just used up two, and now it is quite difficult to complete the deciphering within eight copies.

Deciphering a magic scroll is similar to deciphering a magic item, except that the magic scroll directly writes all the encrypted details of the spell on paper, which makes it easier to decipher.

But that's all. In fact, it is better to grind one element at a time.

Fortunately, Xia Duo also has a lot of understanding of psychic spells. Combined with the observation of the essence of the spirit of the weapon just now, he can probably guess the design direction and some details of this spell before encryption.

This is equivalent to giving him a key to crack. Although it doesn't exactly match the lock, the outline has already come out, and the next step is to fill in the details.

Of course, Xia Duo is also ready to continue buying enlightenment scrolls.

……

In the next few days, Xia Duo almost never left the laboratory except for eating and sleeping. Of course, the construction of the [Mythra] device on the Azurite Plane also temporarily stopped.

However, Niya's work did not stop. Every day after lunch, she went to the Blue Crystal Plane to print the Mithril circuit for the flight control system.

During this period, Xia Duo did not forget to give Kent the spirit of the communication magic weapon for testing. He had a hunch that he might not be able to get the tower spirit editing technology from the Seven Towers, and there would not even be any hints about the relevant theories. .

In other words, if he doesn't research it by himself, any "artifact spirit" he uses in the future will be in its original state.

Not to mention all kinds of private information, it is easy to leave the back door of the Seven Towers.

On this day, Xia Duo once again recovered a bunch of mithril components for simulation tests, and he felt a little irritated after repeated attempts to no avail.

Although only two of the remaining eight Enlightenment Scrolls were used, if the cracking speed is still the same as now, I am afraid that after these are used up, I will have to buy ten or eight more copies!

"Ugh--"

Xia Duo sighed in his heart that it is not easy to crack, but this is the result of Seven Towers' deliberate indulgence, if he does not want people to crack it, he can set up more and more perfect encryption and insurance measures.

After two laps in the laboratory, Xia Duo couldn't think of any new ideas for a while, so he decided to put it here for a while to see the test situation of Kent and the others.

Of course, since the spirit of the communication instrument is already connected to his essence, Xia Duo does not need to go there in person, and can obtain relevant information only in his consciousness.

--What's your name?
- No. 1.

--Where are you from?

--(no answer)

—Are you human?

--Yes
……

Some of the previous ones were generally normal, but the interesting part came later. When Kent knew that the test subject was a mage and he couldn’t lie, he immediately threw out all the difficult questions he had accumulated.

Afterwards, other members of the Advancement Society who were invited to participate in the test also followed suit, directly treating the test subject as a teaching machine that would not resist, realizing the freedom of learning in advance!

"These boys!"

Xia Duo was not angry, but felt very relieved. He was gratified for the enthusiasm of these members of the Advancement Society for seeking knowledge, and this could be regarded as an early verification of the feasibility of the "learning machine" or "answering machine".

Judging from the current status of the Tower of Time, there will definitely not be enough teachers in the future. It is almost an inevitable trend to implement answering machines or learning among some lower grade students.

It's a good thing to be eager to learn, but these little guys may have completely forgotten their tasks and business, which is a bit bad.
