Lord of Arcane

Outside the barracks, Chateau and Leiden communicated for a long time, and once again imparted his ideas and concepts on the construction of new towns in the territory to Leiden.

The current Leiden may not be qualified as a pioneer of a new model and a new path, but as an executor, he is absolutely competent!
In fact, at this early stage of development, Xia Duo doesn't need a consul with too many ideas of his own, it is enough to be able to carry out his orders without compromise.

……

Returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo continued to compile the middle school textbooks for the new mages, and at the same time, he did not forget to improve the automation equipment of the soul. The recent trip to Evereska allowed him to see more business possibilities in the elf society.

So he decided to speed up the layout of the communication fan lock, and in order to achieve this, the first thing is to increase the production capacity of the node magic weapon, and make the 1.0 version of the communication fan lock available to the public as quickly as possible.

In order to increase the production of node artifacts, there is no doubt that it is necessary to improve the automatic production equipment of the soul. No matter how many generations of communication fan locks are upgraded in the future, at least two-thirds of the nodes need to be in their own hands.

The more potential users it faces, the more node artifacts need to be prepared in advance. Correspondingly, the soul automation equipment used to produce those node artifacts needs to be more efficient.

At present, the spirit automation equipment that Xia Duo uses to produce node instruments is of the quadruple spirit level, which is equivalent to the collaborative production of four high-level mages.

In almost half a year, 28 node artifacts can be produced.

But half a year is still a bit unacceptable for Xia Duo. Now there are only 28 pieces and it takes half a year. In the future, the communication fan lock will be upgraded once, and the number of users that can be supported, that is, the number of nodes must be increased to at least one million.

In this case, 28 nodes are not enough to ensure that the Tower of Time can fully control this communication fan lock for the public. Therefore, before the upgrade, it is necessary to prepare two-thirds of the nodes in advance.

If Jingpo automation equipment is not improved, how long will it take to wait?
Xia Duo's goal is to let everyone in Netheril and even the Northland Alliance have the communication magic weapon of the Tower of Time, that is, become the user of the Tower of Time communication fanlock.

Netheril alone now has a population of nearly 2000 million (originally 1000 million on the main plane, and later returned to 700 million on the alien plane), that is 2000 million nodes.

To control a mytho of this size, you need at least twice as many node artifacts, or a magic cluster carrier containing 4000 million node elements.

If the current quadruple essence automation equipment is still used for production, it will take nearly a hundred years!

This is obviously not a good choice.

Either improve the automation equipment of the soul to increase production efficiency; or improve the design of the mythos so that the tower of time can control the mythos through fewer nodes.

But for the latter, the overall structure of Mysuo needs to be redesigned, and doing so also leaves greater loopholes for the enemy. In contrast, Xia Duo is more inclined to improve production equipment.

In this way, the only flaw of the communication fanlock is the number of nodes, but the number of nodes released by the Tower of Time is always only one-third, and the enemy will never want to seize control of the communication fanlock.

However, there is also a downside to doing so, that is, as the number of nodes increases geometrically, the difficulty of upgrading fanlocks also increases geometrically.

Xia Duo estimates that the version with 6000 million nodes may not be able to be upgraded at all. Although the complexity of Misuo itself is not directly related to the number of nodes, at the level of 6000 million nodes, an update may take several hours. moon.

In other words, he needs to prepare enough spellcasters to continue to relay and work continuously for a month without making mistakes, so that it is possible to complete such an update.

Once you make a mistake in the middle, you have to start over, and the difficulty is no less than repairing the dragon mad lock.

However, it is considered that in the future, a method of updating the mythos in real time may be developed, which can be "hot repaired online" instead of being completely remade and then launched.

Although the Red Heart Alliance has not researched such a method, it can be determined whether there is such a method. It is nothing more than investing more resources and time in research.

The lack of research by the Red Heart Alliance is not because of insufficient investment, nor is it because the research strength of the Red Heart Alliance is insufficient, but because research in this field has just emerged and belongs to the forefront of the frontier.

Only a few laboratories are engaged in research in this area.

When the Mysuo update problem becomes serious, the Chixin Alliance will definitely invest more resources in research, but unfortunately, the timing of Xia Duo's second entry is still a bit early, and if it is later, he may be able to directly obtain relevant theories and technologies.

But at that time, he thought that if it was too late and the projected plane disappeared directly, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss, so he tried not to waste any time.

But even so, there is still a time difference of more than 1000 years from the plane he entered for the first time. If he hesitates for a while, he may not be able to wait for the projection plane.

……

In fact, for now, Xia Duo does not have a strong demand for real-time updates of Misuo. After all, it is impossible for the Tower of Time Communication Misuo to reach the level of 2000 million users for a period of time. He has enough time to Prepare for it all.

But 2000 million is not enough. The million level is still not difficult to achieve, especially in Xia Duo's own territory. He will try his best to let everyone have a communication mystery lock, which is 50 people.

If you do it elsewhere, a million users is really not an unattainable goal. If the node magic weapon can keep up, it may only be a year or two.

In this case, it is even more necessary to improve the Jingpo automation equipment.

……

There are actually two aspects to improving the spirit automation equipment, one is of course the equipment itself, and the other is the elemental spirit that exists as a consumable.

At present, the elemental spirits of the Tower of Time are all from Calinshan in the south. Very few are "dropped" by Xia Duo himself in the North Pole, but these are all produced automatically. Some elemental spirits can't keep up with consumption.

Therefore, a larger and more stable supply of elemental essences is bound to be needed.

What Shado is most worried about right now is that Calimshan will increase the price or not sell to him. In the long run, he is worried that the entire output of Calimshan will not be able to meet his consumption.

However, can he use the potential demand to demand that Karinshan continue to increase production?

If there are other suppliers of spirits, that might be possible, but now Calishan is almost the only place on the main plane that can provide stable supply of spirits of elements.

Exclusive business is the best thing to do, of course it is for Calisan, but for Xia Duo, this is not good news.

Therefore, Xia Duo needs his own elemental ranch, or even if he doesn't own it, he must at least master the relevant technology. Otherwise, once he is choked by Kalinshan, the prospects for magical industrial automation that are just beginning to dawn will be marked with a big question mark.

It is important to know that soul automation can not only be used to produce node instruments, but also any other magic items that are well designed for mass production can be produced with it.

The reason why Xia Duo does not use it now is mainly due to two considerations, one is the accumulation of technology, and the other is the current development status of the Tower of Time.

The number of new mages is constantly increasing. If automated equipment is taken out at this time, how will those new mages deal with it?Continuing further studies, going on a trip, or just lying down in an instant?
Neither is quite right.

But it is not used now, but it must be used in the future. In this case, elemental biological breeding is absolutely indispensable! (end of this chapter)
