Lord of Arcane

As for the highest level 4, Xia Duo did not mention it, because this level will 100% reveal the secret. When in the time-related magic research laboratory, occasionally there will be researchers who use this level in pursuit of the ultimate computing power blessing or in some necessary situations. level.

In other cases, almost no one uses it.

If a public computing resource pool is established in the future, the connector's Level 4 perception depth will certainly need to exist, but the risk of privacy exposure will be notified in advance.

But if it is only the first three levels, the vast majority of access users do not need to worry about privacy exposure. Even people like Xia Duo who can analyze subconscious information will find it difficult to directly obtain an access with only the first three levels of connections. deep privacy.

Some brief information must be obtained through repeated "ask-response" mechanisms, most of which are based on judgment.

Although Shado had tried his best to explain the restraint of Lingsi Network on the privacy of those who access it, Osmantus did not stop there, but continued to ask:
“Can Consultant Xia Duo’s statement about meta-thinking be verified?”

"Of course you can, but if you can't analyze the subconscious information, even if I lay out the experimental process here, you may not be able to understand or believe it. Maybe you can ask a psychic mage to help. The power of idealism is just right here."

In fact, meta-thinking research can be understood even if the subconscious information cannot be analyzed, but Xia Duo does not want to reveal his research results easily, so it would be much easier to ask the psychic mage to help verify it.

As for whether the psionic mage has such an ability, as an arcanist who has analyzed the consciousness of a psionic master, Shado can say with absolute certainty that the psionic mage 100% has such an ability.

In fact, he has no doubt that some of the psionic mages can analyze subconscious information. Psychic power is determined by the mind, and can always produce some abilities that are beyond the cognition of reality.

Osturmans was not very satisfied with Chateau's answer, so he asked again: "What about the security of the Lingsi network itself?"

This is also an unavoidable issue. Just as privacy issues are a concern for most spell casters, the security of the Lingsi network itself also deserves the attention of most spell casters.

Because all accessors are on the same network, an accident of any accessor may affect all other accessors.

The Main Plane Lingsi Network has not been in the public eye for a long time. There is no such thing as a "Spirit Network Hacker" yet. However, in the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, this profession actually exists.

In fact, Lingsi Network has only developed in the Northland Alliance for less than 20 years. This has led to the emergence of targeted professions. If the Northland Alliance on the main plane builds a public computing power resource pool, it must be for a long-term operation. The purpose is gone, then the emergence of "spiritual network hackers" is inevitable!
Even before the establishment of the public computing resource pool, the alliance's senior management had thought of the security risks at this level. However, compared to privacy issues, Xia Duo was more confident in the security issues of Lingsi Network.

Because before he entered the projection plane of the Red Heart Alliance, he had already started to study the security protection of Lingsi Network. Later, in the Red Heart Alliance, Lingsi Network should have been in the Red Heart Alliance for nearly 20 years, and its own security protection had also developed little by little.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo provided two plans for the reference of representatives from various countries——

"Regarding the security protection of Lingsi network, first of all, at the level of Lingsi network itself, multiple gateways can be used to divide a large network into several small networks. The damage caused by an individual accessor will only affect the network where he is located. small network and cannot spread to large networks.

"The so-called gateway can be understood as a checkpoint between small networks. It is essentially a specially designed magic item used to check and block abnormal flow of consciousness information.

"Secondly, prevention can be done at the access level. As long as the access user uses consciousness projection to connect to the Lingsi network, even if the large network is completely compromised, there is no need to worry about threatening one's true consciousness." This layer of protection can also be implemented through specialized Design magic items to achieve this, or redesign a connector that can connect to the Linsi network using projected consciousness.

"But it needs to be pointed out in advance that these two layers of protection require the use of spiritual materials, which are relatively expensive."

In fact, Xia Duo obtained cheap mass-produced ectoplasm-like materials from Imasca, but that ectoplasm-like material was still far from the real ectoplasm.

And that kind of ectoplasm material, like most of the materials produced by Imasca's creation magic, is almost all composite materials, because this composite method produces various special properties.

Although composite materials can be mass-produced, they also have their drawbacks, that is, when used for energy-guiding components, their service life is far less than that of pure materials commonly used in the West.

Because the elements of the energy-conducting component flow, transmutation reactions of elements occur all the time. However, composite materials contain different substances, and the transmutation reactions of elements occur at different rates, which in turn leads to changes in the composite method, which no longer has the properties of the initial state of the material. .

As for pure materials, whether they are various gemstones, spiritual matter, or energy-conducting metals such as mithril and gold, because they are pure materials, they only contain one kind of substance.

It also utilizes the properties of the substance itself. Even if the reaction elements transmute, the purity will at most be reduced and the performance will be reduced. It will not cause the properties of the material to mutate, leaving enough time for the user to perform maintenance.

But when it comes to using creative materials, once the composite method of obtaining a certain characteristic changes, the magic items made with this creative material will immediately become invalid.

Of course, this does not mean that the creation material is completely useless, it is just that its relative lifespan is not as good as that of conventional materials. Its biggest advantage is that it is cheap!
In addition, for manufacturers, using this material is more beneficial for planned obsolescence.

After all, this material was born from the magic of creation, and the most suitable materials for it to manufacture are secret weapons based on the magic of creation, rather than magic weapons of the arcane magic system.

The plan proposed by Xia Duo includes ectoplasm, which is an indispensable material. Normal ectoplasm materials are valuable. Take the ectoplasm material of the twisted phantom core as an example, one piece costs [-] gold coins.

This is also an essential material for creating tower spirits.

But if ectoplasm-like materials are mass-produced by creation magic, the cost is actually about the same as gold and silver. Compared with real ectoplasm materials, it is not even a fraction.

The use of this material will not bring much increase in the cost of the gateway magic weapon, and at most it will not increase the cost by more than one hundred gold coins.

This is the feasibility basis for Xia Duo's proposal of these two plans, and of course it is also a stable source of income for the Tower of Time in the future. Currently, he is the only one in the Western Continent who can provide this kind of material.

Since it is an exclusive material, wouldn't it be logical to also take over the production of gateway magic weapons and special connectors?
