Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2613 Essence automation route

After leaving the government affairs hall, Xia Duo didn't hang around on the ground anymore, but returned directly to the floating city, and then sent a message to Niya to ask about the production status of the communication magic weapon and Epps' physical condition.

When he entered the detection laboratory, Niya's reply came just in time, so he checked Nya's reply while preparing for the prophecy ceremony.

The communication magic weapon is related to the grand strategy of the Tower of Time in the next stage. Both Xia Duo and Niya are very concerned about it, especially Niya. This should be her first career as an adult, so naturally she has invested enough energy.

After these days of preparation, the Tower of Time has completed the first mass production of the new communication instrument, and it will be put on the market just waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In reply to Xia Duo, in addition to introducing the preparation of the communication magic weapon, Niya also asked another very important matter, which is the question of two-thirds of the nodes.

The communication fan lock adopts a distributed node design, and the permissions are also scattered among a large number of nodes. Currently, the communication fan lock of version 1.0 supports up to 42 nodes.

In other words, if you want to fully control this mythlock, you need to control at least two-thirds of it, which is 28 nodes.

With the sale of new communication artifacts, the secrets of communication fan locks will inevitably be exposed. Although it is possible to keep two for every communication artifact sold, others may not copy it in large numbers.

Once more than two-thirds of the current number of nodes, the communication fan lock will change hands.

Therefore, the safest way is to control two-thirds of all nodes in advance before the official release.

This is the problem with Niya, because it is unrealistic to produce 28 incomplete communication artifacts or node artifacts with only node functions in a short period of time.

However, even for Xia Duo himself, the time required for this matter may be calculated in months. After all, the 29-node magic weapon, no matter how few individual elements, add up to at least a million.

The amount of work is about the same as building an [Spherical Center Radiation Configuration Independent Austrian Fire Device], which is the version that Xia Duo and Iolum previously researched.

Limited to materials, design tricks must be adopted, which greatly increases the total amount of elements involved.

Of course, Mythra's builder needs to be at least a senior arcanist or archmage, and if it's the latter, it needs to consume a lot of arcane energy crystals.

Therefore, it is not cost-effective to ask Xia Duo to manufacture the 28-node magic weapon, because with the same amount of work, his cost must be much higher than that of ordinary magicians.

But if the magic technicians of the Tower of Time make it, the time needed to complete the 28-node magic weapon may take years, right?

This is unacceptable to Xia Duo, and of course Niya also cannot accept it, so she came to ask Xia Duo.

"You really think I'm a Tinker Bell who knows everything!" Xia Duo complained in his heart, but he didn't completely give up his idea of ​​making a move.

It's just that he doesn't intend to personally manufacture those 28 node artifacts one by one, or a cluster artifact containing 28 node elements, the amount of work is really too big.

Moreover, this is the first version of the communication fan lock, which only supports 42 nodes. In the future, the number of nodes supported by the upgrade of the fan lock will increase. Will he still have to do it himself at that time?

This is very unrealistic, because in the next upgrade, the number of nodes supported by Misuo is likely to go directly to millions or tens of millions. If he is asked to manufacture one by one, then he will not do other things in the future, just Just do this.

So Xia Duo decided to hang up. Before that, he obtained a [Spirit Amulet] from Calinshan in the south that can resist the illusion attack of the mind world. The amulet itself is not the key, the key is the way to make this amulet——

Through a special design, the element spirit can be automatically manufactured!
If this manufacturing method can be applied to the production of other magic items, it will be truly fully automatic production, unlike the current Tower of Time magic mechanic. Although there is also an assembly line design, in the actual production process, After all, there is still no way to leave the caster.

As long as this is done, future industrial upgrading is at least a way of thinking.

The only regret is that this manufacturing method is essentially similar to enslaving other spellcasters for manufacturing, and the elemental essence will inevitably be consumed in the process.

Elemental spirits do not necessarily have wisdom, Xia Duo does not have to worry about any moral burden, but it is not easy to obtain this special resource!
Once he chooses this technical route, he can almost imagine that in the future, the Great Xia or Netheril will inevitably import a large number of elemental essences from Calimshan in the south, provided they are willing to sell them.

It is not so easy to master the core technology. After Xia Duo created the Soul Amulet, he had such a guess——

Calinshan gave away the method of making the spirit talisman so easily, so it may not be that there is no idea of ​​exporting the spirit of the element in the future to make a fortune!

Of course, there is no need to think about such a long-term right now, and using it for the time being will not have much impact. In fact, the more he understands the essence of spellcasting, Xia Duo gradually discovered that the automation of the pure arcane path he had longed for may not be so easy accomplish.

Maybe if you want to automate in the future, there is only one way to go. Familiarize yourself in advance now, which can be regarded as laying a foundation for the future.

Therefore, Xia Duo replied to Niya that he would find a way. As for the physical condition of Epps mentioned in Niya's communication, Xia Duo did not comment too much. It is enough to make sure that the other party has no problems for the time being.

Let's talk about the future, as long as the other party doesn't intend to seek death, no matter what happens, he should be able to cover it.

……

After replying to Niya, Xia Duo has already prepared everything needed for the prophecy ceremony in the laboratory, and the next step is the ceremony.

This kind of ceremony Xia Duo has performed many times, and there is no problem with the ceremony itself, but more hidden dangers that may exist outside the ceremony, such as falling into obsession with a certain future, and so on.

Skillfully anchoring the present world, and then projecting perception to the astral world, he did not directly choose the devil as the entry point for this prophecy, but chose the Kingdom of Elam.

After all, the Northern Alliance has to prophesy about the demons almost every day, whether it is pure magic prophecy, or prophecy with the help of divine power, the prophecy will be rotten, and Xia Duo doesn't want to be mixed into the mud.

If it is just the prophecy of the demons, it is estimated that they will never be able to find clues, or they will find them under the guise of the Illuminati.

The Elam Kingdom is different. Among the non-demons on the main plane, he is probably the only one who knows that the name Elan is related to the demons. This is a great prophetic advantage, and of course he must use it up!
