Lord of Arcane

The most popular decoration in Northland right now is the ear clip-style computing power pool connector. Since it was released to the public in May, it has been selected as the annual new wave representative by many fashion magazines in Northland in just ten days.

Of course, the sponsorship of Lingsi Network Research Center is inevitable, but there is also tap water. After all, the computing power pool has effectively changed the Northland mage ecology.

Nowadays, almost all Northland mages who have used the computing power pool say good things about it. Those who have not tried it yet are considered stubborn.

Of course, this is more in the elven countries.

On the dwarf side, the computing power pool has not caused such a wave. This is mainly because the dwarves are now playing on the LAN, and Shado is not yet able to make a translation device for dwarf magic and elf magic.

As for humans, or on the Netheril side, the computing power pool has not caused much response.

On the one hand, the total population of Netheril is far less than that of the elven countries. On the other hand, Netheril mages still have some misunderstandings about the computing power pool.

But it is foreseeable that as long as low-cost mages fully enjoy the benefits brought by the computing power pool, they will naturally become fans of the computing power pool. When they grow up, they will be living role models.

As for those die-hards, if everyone else uses them but you don’t, wouldn’t you be falling far behind others?

Even if the computing power pool is really a bad thing, as long as the effect is real, a lot of people will bite the bullet and use it. This is like a topic that once circulated on the Internet in Xia Duo's hometown——

What would happen in the end if Lin Pingzhi made countless copies of the "Evil Sword Manual" and distributed them to the world?

Under the premise that the evil-proofing sword manual is a powerful martial art that can be achieved quickly, there are bound to be people who try to use it. Some may be forced to do so, and some may be born different from others.

Once you try this too often, there may be a situation where as long as you are in the world, you must practice the evil sword technique, so that you create a world of eunuchs.

Of course, it is also possible that the sword manual has been spread too widely and a large number of targeted methods have been developed, but that is only a possibility.

……

Of course, public computing power pools will not have the same hidden dangers as the evil sword manual, but public operations are bound to encounter some mysterious challenges. Just like in Xia Duo's hometown, he himself encountered similar things——

It is obviously a free public welfare project that is beneficial to everyone, but it has been subject to a large number of malicious attacks, so that the server has been shut down for a moment, and it cannot be sustained in the end.

The computing power pool is not a free project, it is very profitable, which may be even more hateful in the eyes of some people, so from the first day of official operation, Xia Duo was worried about being attacked.

Since the connector is distributed for free, but the privacy policy is very high, others can easily obtain the attack vector, and it is difficult for the alliance to trace the other side.

Until the computing power pool achieved the June revenue target ahead of schedule, Xia Duo's hanging heart was slightly relieved. The weakest moment of the computing power pool has been passed, and the next step is just to take advantage of it. It's not like one person is fighting alone.

The income from the computing power pool needs to be shared with various countries. Attacking the computing power pool is equivalent to attacking the countries in the North. Thinking about the main plane, I am afraid that no force would dare to do this.

Even among the four southern countries, a single country is indeed more powerful than any country in the north. However, the countries in the north have already formed an alliance, while the four southern countries have their own disputes.

Under such circumstances, the four southern countries should not act irrationally. Of course, this is public, but what happens in private is another matter.

As for Imasca, she has wrapped her territory in a huge barrier, and even the magic network in it has been modified. In Xia Duo's view, it is a conservative type, not an open type.

There are so many alien planes, and Imasca is not lacking in the ability to explore alien planes, so it should not cause trouble in the main plane.

For the time being, there are only two targets listed by Xia Duo that may attack the computing power pool——

One is the Illuminati. With the continuous advancement of comprehensive testing and the resolution of the alliance, this time the countries have indeed not killed all the demons. However, the Illuminati is determined to subvert the timeline and will always find ways to cause trouble. The computing power pool is an exposed weakness of the alliance, and it is difficult for Xia Duo not to suspect that the Illuminati may take advantage of it.

Another object of suspicion is Plitatis, an explorer of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire from a foreign land, who traveled thousands of miles to come to the main plane. Is he really noble, pure, and unselfish, specifically to help the development of the main plane? of?

The establishment of a computing power pool can completely change the ecology of Northland mages and greatly promote the development of Northland magic. Under such circumstances, can Pritatis, a foreign visitor, really be able to sit still?

It's like, Sophon flew thousands of miles from Centaur to the Earth, and saw an accelerator that could promote the development of Earth's science and technology. Could he still resist causing destruction?

Compared to the Illuminati, Shado is more afraid of Pritatis.

After all, the Illuminati and the Northland Alliance are old rivals. Their most core time-related rituals have fallen into the hands of the alliance. This alone is enough to minimize the threat from the Illuminati.

On the contrary, no one can predict the hidden methods of Plitatis from a more powerful foreign land. After all, even Savile, who has personally visited the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, has a very limited understanding of it.

But even from those limited understandings, one can see how powerful the other party is.

Such a potential opponent cannot be overemphasized.

……

While public computing pools spark a new wave of competing discussions in the Northlands, discussions about ownership of new planes in Netheril continue.

During this period, Plitatis seemed not to want to get involved in the internal affairs of Netheril at all. He refused several invitations to discuss the matter from the Sevington Council and was only busy preparing for the construction of the Plane Exploration Center.

In this situation, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It seemed like everyone would be able to reach an agreement in the next moment, but problems of one kind or another would arise in every meeting, resulting in the inability to reach an agreement in the end.

By mid-June, at a meeting, Xia Duo finally couldn't help it and gave a deadline, "If we can't reach an agreement this month, then the previous cross-domain transmission link project should be renegotiated. , at worst, everyone will do their own thing!"

Cross-domain transmission links consume a lot of resources and manpower, and it cannot be built by just a few companies. It is very simple logic. This thing will not see any benefits for a long time, only endless investment.

Only when everyone contributes money and effort can the project continue. Otherwise, if only a few companies invest, it will only slow down their own development speed.

Anyway, now everyone has mastered the method of discovering new dimensions through the etheric boundary. Xia Duo said that if everyone does it, there will always be people who are interested, and there will definitely be people who are not happy.

Doing so might really lead things in a direction that Sha Duo didn't want to see, but he still did it. The reality is this. If you want to open the window, you must be determined to lift the roof first.

If Xia Duo announced that he wanted to break up, this meeting would naturally not be able to proceed normally. After the meeting was hastily dismissed, Xia Duo immediately received a summons from Badigal.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was asking why he ignored the overall situation. Xia Duo responded directly by not replying, and publicly left Sevington on the same day.

You know, Xia Duo came to Sevington in the first place to watch the snow melting competition, but now it was already mid-June. The issue of ownership of the new dimension had been discussed for nearly a month, but there was still no result. He really couldn't wait any longer. .

It’s time to put some pressure on me.

In addition, Savile from the Tower of Time also sent a message to him to go back, saying that he had made a new discovery. In addition, the core gateway magic weapon test also needed to be carried out on his own territory. Various factors were added together, and Sha Duo left directly. (End of chapter)
