Chapter 2563 Magic calculator get!

inside the laboratory.

Xia Duo quickly used mithril to re-weave the core computing components of the double-string 5-ring calculator, which is still the same double-layer mesh structure as before, but what can be seen under normal vision is only the true color of mithril, while It's not the faint blue light of the arcane strings.

Later, Xia Duo tried to connect it to the magic net. This time, when he connected to the magic net, he was not assimilated by the magic net as before, but the accident still existed.

Right now, the computing component made of mithril is not an energy-guiding component that can reflect the rules of the magic net's energy operation. It can guide energy, but it can't form a normal magic circuit.

In other words, the computing components in this state cannot be directly connected to the magic net, even if the strings of the magic net are wound around, they will still be disbanded spontaneously.

This is determined by the characteristics of the magic net itself.

"I see!"

A clear look flashed in Xia Duo's eyes. Although this new thing can be realized in theory, when it comes to engineering realization, it is still limited by various factors from the material itself and the environment when it is actually manufactured.

But it doesn't bother him, it's nothing more than adding an additional connecting device, and this connecting device is a conventional magic item. Correspondingly, the core energy-conducting material of this device can use arcan energy strings.

The main function is to connect the string of the magic web with the core computing components to realize the normal input and output of energy, but this energy input is not for consumption, but similar to collecting samples to detect the state.

Afterwards, the state is transmitted to the magic net through the energy output, and the magic net makes corresponding changes according to its own properties, and then continues to feed back this result to other parts of the computing component, and so on.

Leaving aside other places, the core computing components alone cannot run independently from the magic net.

If you want to run independently, you may need to find a new design idea. Maybe you can consider the nature of energy itself, but for now, the existing computer design idea is actually more focused on the magic net.

Although the essence of the two may be the same, with Xia Duo's current ability, he can only choose one to study. Relatively speaking, it is relatively simple to study the magic net, which is almost a natural set of rules.

From this point of view, the magic computer designed based on the nature of the magic net may also be called [the magic net computer].

In the future, if a new magical computer is designed based on the nature of energy, it may be called an [energy computer].

……

Soon, Xia Duo finished all the connection devices. In order to complete the production quickly, he still used Mithril materials for these connection devices. These are all regular magic items. It is also possible to use arcane strings, which are different from core computing components.

After activating the connection device, the magic net strings in the laboratory, which originally ignored the computing components of the double-layer network structure, quickly gathered around the computing components one by one as if drinking ecstasy soup, and quickly completed the corresponding links.

Then there is the open interface for input, which was the original plan, but the magic strings cannot be connected to the computing components under normal circumstances.

This then again requires making a separate input device.

After doing this, Xia Duo found that many of his original ideas had been overturned. Originally, he wanted to build an all-in-one magic computer or calculator, but now, this calculator alone requires multiple additional supporting devices.

If it is a complete magic computer, I am afraid that even more additional supporting devices will be needed!

And the more additional support devices there are, the more complex the entire computer system will become, and the problems to be considered will increase exponentially.

"Sure enough, it's not realistic to build a usable magic computer in a short period of time!" Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.

Even if it is only a test machine to verify the feasibility, it is probably unrealistic. Now he has completely let go of the idea of ​​​​researching at this stage.

For such a big project, let’s wait until there are more high-level mages in the Tower of Time. As for how much more, this project needs a hundred or ten people, and then consider other projects.

I am afraid that the magic computer project can only be restarted when the number of high-ranking wizards in the Tower of Time is several hundred.

……

It took almost no effort to complete the input device, and Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little excited in the process of connecting it with the core computing components.

Although it was just a calculator with two strings and 5 rings, it was still the prototype of a magic computer. A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. As long as he thought of the huge application prospects of the magic computer, how could he not be excited!

There is no need for an output device, and Xia Duo is watching the energy flow at the bottom of the calculator right now!
There is no need for an additional activation method, because the core computing component is not a normal magic item, but a special device connected to the magic net and utilizing the properties of the magic net.

Xia Duo controlled the input device and input a simple two-string calculation problem, which was almost synchronized with his input, and the calculation component immediately emitted a faint light, accompanied by the release of some elements.

At the same time, Xia Duo also saw the calculation results. This kind of double-string calculation problem is just like the addition and subtraction within a hundred in mathematics. There is no need for additional checking at all, and the result can be obtained almost at a glance.

Without a doubt, the calculator answered correctly!

However, Xia Duo discovered another problem, and he really didn't discover it without practicing it!For spellcasters, the double-string 5-ring calculator Xia Duo made can directly read the results without any output device.

But the problem is that the current calculation is an instant process, in other words, after the calculation is completed, the result will disappear, and the calculator cannot save the result, or display the result for a long time.

This is like a calculator on the earth. After the calculation, the result is only displayed for a moment. Can such a calculator be used?Of course it works!But is it easy to use?Definitely not very useful.

If you don't pay attention to the result, you will have to recalculate. This is a tool used to reduce the workload, but the result requires extra attention from the user.

It can be seen that a good product is not only the realization of its main functions, but also the convenience of use.

As for the appearance, although it is not the most important, it is also related to the user's psychological state. A good product should also have an appearance that meets the user's aesthetics.

Later, Xia Duo made an output device for displaying calculation results, and also connected it to the core computing components, so that a calculator with basically complete functions was completed.

After that, we continued to test. Of course, the test at this stage is not mainly to verify the accuracy of the calculation. After all, the principle is there. As long as the calculator is not broken, it is basically impossible to make mistakes.

What Xia Duo wants to test is the magical effects of different calculations. This part is actually predictable, but frequent calculations of various magical effects evolve with each other, and various unexpected effects will appear.

These are actually predictable when the core computing components are small in size, but it is certainly impossible for the magic computer in the future to have such a small size (dozens of elements).

Once the volume is large, the evolution of the magic effect is difficult to predict. This is a bit similar to the chaotic system on the earth. There are so many input parameters, let alone long-term prediction, even short-term prediction is difficult.

Therefore, Xia Duo hopes to find out a feasible method of magic effects produced by harmonic calculations at a lower cost in practice.

Such a large number of experiments is necessary.
