Lord of Arcane

After many attempts, Xia Duo figured out the main structure of the Taivi Mansa Mystery Lock bit by bit, and even made a breakthrough in the framework of the Yerlan Unified Mystery Lock.

The former is actually not that important to him. He has too many traditional myth lock plans. Only the framework of unified mystery locks is worth his efforts.

Based on what he has learned so far, he speculates that the construction of the Erlan Unified Mystery Lock may not start from the macro-structural level of the Magic Network, but from the micro level, using the strings of the Magic Network to build the foundation bit by bit.

Then it jumps upward to form an orderly macrostructure. This is undoubtedly a huge project.

It was also at this time that Xia Duo understood why Ye Erlan's unification of the Mystery Lock was progressing so slowly. The establishment of the Unification Mystery Lock itself was so cumbersome, and subsequent integration of other Mystery Locks still required a microscopic approach!

In fact, based on the existing investigation data, he speculated that Ye Erlan would not be able to complete the integration of all the Mysterious Locks in the country within at least ten years.

Of course, this is inferred based on the current development of the Unification Mystery Lock. If Yeerlan is determined to complete the unification, and continues to invest the power of mages.

It is possible to complete it in advance, but it will definitely not be possible within four or five years. Just sorting out the communication rules of various places is a big project, let alone unifying it.

……

Inside the residence of the Nese embassy.

Centered on the myth lock certificate left by Philipar, there are layers of magic network strings, but from the perspective of the spellcasting elements involved, it is not much less than any myth lock that Shado is familiar with.

In other words, in this small embassy guest room, he almost reproduced the amount of spells required for a normal mystery lock. This shows the exquisite design and large size of Ye Erlan's unified mystery lock frame.

If someone enters this room at this time and observes the scene in the room through magic vision, he will definitely be shocked by the dazzling magic light in front of him.

And this is just a preliminary security link established by Xia Duo in order to investigate the Unification Mystery Lock of Yeerlan. This alone cost him a lot of effort. If he was allowed to build a relatively complete Unification Mystery Lock, then Don't know how long it will take.

But fortunately, after inspection and research, Xia Duo found that establishing a unified secret lock is more of a problem of ideas. There are also technical difficulties, but as long as there is an idea, it is just a matter of development speed.

If he wanted to establish the Unified Mystery Lock in the shortest possible time, Ye Erlan would definitely not be able to bypass this hurdle. However, if he did not have too strict requirements on the time required to establish the Unified Mystery Lock, he could take his time.

Sha Duo will definitely set up his own unified mystery lock research project in the Tower of Time, but at the same time, Ye Erlan will not give up. If nothing else, he can at least speed up the research.

In fact, he will not only start a research project on unified myth locks, but also a project on hot update of myth locks. He does not want to give up either of the two development routes.

After all, now he can't decide which development path is the most correct, so he can only do both.

This is the difficulty for the pioneer. The followers behind do not need to have such troubles. They only need to follow the leader in front to catch up quickly or slowly.

Shado has played the role of a pursuer for a considerable amount of time in the past, at least in the field of magic research, but he cannot chase others forever.

Anyone who has a little bit of ambition to transcend needs to be prepared to be a pioneer. Xia Duo has never been satisfied with just spinning within the framework of his predecessors. He had the consciousness to become a pioneer a long time ago.

So far, the thing that Shado is most proud of is not his participation in the research and development of Mythra, or his achievement as a Grand Arcanist and the establishment of the floating city. The thing that he is most proud of is actually the discovery of the Equation Spell.

This is a truly pioneering work that transcends the magic of the past.

Perhaps in other worlds, there are outstanding researchers who have discovered the equation spell, but in the main plane, at least to Sha Duo's knowledge, no one before has made such a discovery.

Based on equation spells, arcane magic has ushered in a qualitative change.Not to mention more, at least the number of individual spells will no longer be a limit, because the equation spells will be different spells of the same type when different parameters are substituted.

It can be said that equation magic reveals the deeper nature of magic in this world.

It can be said that with the equation spell, the perspective of intelligent creatures understanding the world will reach a new level.

If Xia Duo is determined to rest on his laurels, then he can rest easy now. The title of discoverer of the equation spell will allow him to rest on his laurels for the rest of his life.

But this is obviously not what he really wants. He also wants to see higher and farther scenery, and this also reminds him not to be limited to past achievements and to move forward.

In fact, as far as the current exploration of Netheril and the Heart Alliance in the field of magic is concerned, Shado does not think that the end of magic is approaching.

Although the ley line seems to be endless, the magic is endless.

Just like on earth, most researchers know that the universe is limited, but exploration is infinite, because the system of laws composed of determined finite laws cannot deduce laws outside the system.

In layman's terms, there is no all-encompassing system of laws that can deduce all the laws of the entire universe.

So this means that exploration cannot stop, because you don’t know whether the thing you are studying now is outside the existing system of known laws.

It can be said that the discovery of any new laws outside the existing system is a major breakthrough in the process of exploring the truth of the universe.

Take the simplest example - Maxwell's equations and classical mechanics. These two are different systems. The biggest difference lies in the different understanding of the speed of light.

The former believes that the speed of light is constant, while the latter believes that the speed of light is variable.

It can be said that if there were no Maxwell equations, there might not be a theory of relativity in the future. Even if there were, the discoverer might not be Einstein.

From classical mechanics to the theory of relativity, it is a major breakthrough for mankind to understand the world and explore the universe.

This is the case in the earth's universe, and whether it is also the case in the magical world. Although Shado has not strictly proved it, based on the current discoveries, it is very likely that it is.

There are many different rule systems in a universe at the same time. It is impossible to deduce other systems through one of them. Only by combining new discoveries can breakthroughs be made, which requires researchers to continue to explore.

And this exploration is almost endless.

Perhaps it is this almost never-ending truth that fascinates people. Otherwise, in a world where you can see the end at a glance, how much is worth investing in?

For Xia Duo, a world with such a low threshold for immortality is simply wonderful, not only because individuals can easily get enough time to look into the future, but also because the foundation for exploring the future will continue to grow.

It can be said that it is basically impossible to discover a grand unified theory that unifies the four fundamental forces, or even if it is discovered, it cannot be a simple formula, like e equals m·c squared.

My personal guess is that an important theory is probably missing, which requires inspiration from new physical phenomena, or even direct provision of some data. But now, almost everything humans can do has been done. In other words, physics (basics) may really has stagnated. Of course, it is far from reaching the limit in terms of application. The limit is that everything that is theoretically feasible has been done without any progress. This is obviously impossible.

Although progress in application or engineering cannot directly improve the foundation, it can provide strong support for the progress of the foundation. Therefore, even if physics stagnates, it will take at least hundreds or thousands of years to develop to the limit. During this period, any new discoveries are possible. It will also promote basic progress and bring greater limits. The future is quite bright, and our generation won’t be able to see it anyway~~
