Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2219 Time Conjecture
"Tell me now!"

Xia Duo is a person who is happy when he hears it, and he will not fail to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates. Hearing that Gardner has indeed made improvements in the construction process, he feels very happy.

And Ganal also expressed the experience of the magic technicians at this time: "That's right, President, we found the tools you provided to be inconvenient to use."

"not very convenient?"

Xia Duo thought about it carefully, and couldn't help being a little confused. The tools themselves were designed to simplify labor, and he had personally used every tool, but since Gardner said so, there must be practical inconveniences.

So he continued to ask: "Why is it inconvenient? Is it inconvenient for all tools, or is it inconvenient for a particular tool?"

"There are only a few tools, among which the Mithril printing machine is the most inconvenient! It is mainly reflected in the fact that it cannot be effectively coordinated with the measuring tool when using it, and additional spellcasting confirmation is required. If the two can be integrated into one tool, it will definitely improve the quality of the tool. Less efficient."

"Is there any more? Say it all at once!"

"What's more, all the tools now need to be controlled by magic technicians. This also requires the assistance of spellcasting. Otherwise, the human factor will become the biggest factor affecting the quality of the project. It would be better if the degree of automation can be improved."

"are these all?"

"That's all. Apart from these two points, the tools you provided, President, are quite easy to use. We have never thought that we can design and manufacture special tools to assist or even lead the construction process!"

Even though he was offering an opinion, Gardner made no secret of his praise for the tools provided by Xia Duo.

Of course, Xiaduo also agrees with this very much. As for the two improvement suggestions proposed by Gardner, the former was negligent. He didn't think so much at the time and isolated each tool.

In fact, some tools need to be combined to be more efficient, such as the Mithril printing press and measuring tools mentioned by Gardner, and they can even be linked with other tools to form a closer "Internet of Things" that can exchange information. ", that is the ultimate form of all tools.

As for the other point mentioned by Gardner, that is, the one that provides the degree of automation, this is also achievable, and its ultimate form may be the "operating system" of the "Internet of Things".

Relevant authorized persons can use a certain controller to control specific tools in the Internet of Things within the authorization at close range or remotely, and complete the entire process from surveying and mapping to modeling, from design to construction.

Of course, all of this is still difficult to achieve at present, mainly because the information exchange between various tools is difficult to achieve, which requires a unified communication protocol and a sufficiently intelligent "central processing unit".

This is the field of magic computers. Xia Duoke has not forgotten the cost of his magic chip experiment on the projection plane. Only one experiment needs to consume high-purity mithril that costs about one million gold coins on the current main plane.

That is just a brainless superimposed spell chip. If a certain computing power is required, the complexity of the chip will far exceed that of the spell chip.

Of course, of course, the fact that it is currently difficult to achieve does not mean that it cannot be achieved.

The smart brain or tool spirit is the biggest cheat, but considering that the essence of the smart brain or tool spirit is a copy of the caster's consciousness, this is actually similar to the practice of "Li Da Flying Bricks", not a real realization magic calculation.

It is equivalent to Xia Duo copying N multiples to interconnect and work together.

If in the future, magic civilization has developed to a certain extent, but magic calculation has not yet been realized, then Xia Duo might consider this solution.

But now, he is more worried about the employment of new mages after the popularization of education. If this is fully automated, wouldn't most people be unemployed?

Unemployment is not terrible. In fact, mages in the wizarding world will never lose the profession of mage. At most, it will be the same as in the past, but what is really scary is——

Those new unemployed mages may therefore lose faith in the future world he describes.

So in the early stage of civilization development, no matter what, even if you are playing him, you need to show a completely different way of life from the past.

……

Xia Duo did not directly agree to the two improvement suggestions proposed by Xia Duo. The latter was because of employment issues, and the former was out of the idea of ​​cultivating the backbone of magic mechanics.

Xia Duo handed over the improvement task to the magic technicians, letting them try to improve themselves in practice, and even if they have other ideas, they can try them one by one, training the team regardless of success or failure.

In Xia Duo's plan, magic technicians did not exist as tool people before automation, but were trained as engineers.

The various study classes and advanced classes in the Tower of Time are open to them. Except for two hours a day working in the magic mechanic, the rest of the time is at their own disposal.

If you really treat them as cheap tools, then you can work for more than two hours. Even mages, unlike ordinary manual labor, can still squeeze out a few more hours after squeezing them.

Xia Duo didn't want to be an evil capitalist who tried his best to squeeze the surplus value of workers. What he wanted to do was to create a future civilization where all people could be fully developed.

Only such a goal will not be in vain for him to go through a journey!
Then, Xia Duo told Ganal:

"You wait to inform me what I said. While ensuring the normal progress, they can modify as they wish. However, the rules of the Tower of Time must not be forgotten. The project declaration and approval process must not be missing. I will personally Keep an eye on this piece, don't try to get away with it, the resources of the Tower of Time are not blown by the wind, so cherish it and use it!"

"Yes, I will definitely notify you in place!"

Ganal's expression at this moment can be said to be grinning to the ears. Although the necessary procedures cannot be avoided, if Xia Duo personally intervenes in this matter, it is equivalent to opening up a new approval channel for the Magic Mechanic Department, and it is a big deal. Chances are it's still expedited.

He has a lot of ideas himself, but because of the huge consumption of resources, the material department always fails. Now he has already figured out how to package his project into a construction tool transformation project!

Based on his understanding of Xia Duo, this time it should be a benefit for the Magic Mechanic Department. As long as there is a plausible reason, it should not be difficult to pass. Such a rare opportunity should not be let go!
……

Seeing Ganal smirking and seeming to be caught in the fantasy of a certain scene, Xia Duo secretly shook his head in his heart, what Ganal was thinking, he could guess almost exactly.

But he didn't care. With the 3 pounds of Mithril he got from Cliff, while satisfying the infrastructure construction of the Floating Void City, it was time to invest more in the personnel training and project research of the Tower of Time.
