Lord of Arcane

Chapter 484 Communication Array
After arranging the production increase plan at the Tower of Time, Xia Duo returned to the study and continued to study communication spells.With the ready-made spells of the projection plane Arcane Empire in hand, there is not much he really needs to do.

Since his return from Sevington to the present, what he has done has focused more on integration and extension rather than original creation from scratch, but even so, the progress of the project has been very slow in the past half month.

Because what Xia Duo wants to send is not a single spell, but a whole new communication plan.

The Projection Plane Arcane Empire specially set up a communication department to be in charge of communication throughout the territory. Using a spell called [Background Communication], the various communication departments in the territory were linked like a network, forming a communication array covering the entire territory and beyond.

The so-called [background communication] actually uses the background fluctuation of the magic net to transmit information, which is similar to the principles of [echo perception] and [moment of the magic net] known by Xia Duo on the main plane.

What is used is the background fluctuation of the magic net. The difference is that [background communication] uses the background fluctuation of the magic net to transmit information, while [moment of the magic net] uses the background fluctuation of the magic net to time.

As for [Echo Perception], it is just a small spell, which is simply used to perceive the background fluctuations of the magic net. Even without this spell, it can also be vaguely sensed through intuition.

When it comes to the depth of theory and technology, of course, the Arcane Empire has a deeper research on the background fluctuation of the magic net. The most intuitive thing is that [Background Communication] is a 5-level spell, while [Magic Moment] is only a 3-level spell. As for [Echo Perception], only 1 ring.

In terms of theory, Netheril is only in the preliminary application stage of the background fluctuation of the magic net, while the arcane empire of the projected plane is already exploring the deep principles behind the background fluctuation of the magic net.

Why are there magic net fluctuations?Why is there such a fluctuation?What else can it be used for besides timing and communication?
some type of.

The arcanist of the Arcane Empire put forward a hypothesis, saying that the background fluctuation of the magic net originated from the overlap and resonance between the magic net and the plane. As for why there is such a fluctuation, it may be related to the elemental origin of the plane.

Theoretically, from the perspective of the plane, the background fluctuation of the magic net will not change for a long time.

Once the background fluctuation of the magic net changes, it must be a great change in the plane.

It's just that this conclusion has not been verified. One is that the Arcane Empire cannot find a way to change the plane, and the other is that it is impossible to spare huge manpower and material resources to study this in the current war.

It is enough to find a hypothesis and be able to develop a [background communication] based on it.

However, Xia Duo has actually verified a part of this aspect, proving that the background fluctuation of the magic net is indeed related to the plane, and the background fluctuation of the magic net on the [Azurite plane] is completely different from the main plane.

……

The communication array built by [Background Communication] is indeed very convenient and covers a large area. Any spellcaster with relevant authority can use the communication array to contact people far away.

However, there is a problem here, who should control this communication array?
Is it the Austrian Law Federation?Or Sewington Council?Or a certain Grand Arcanist?

The Arcane Empire is an empire with a high degree of unified power. Even the Grand Arcanists submit to the leadership of the Grand Sages, but Netheril is different.

The Arcane Union was originally a product of contradictions and compromises. All the great arcanists failed to reach a unified opinion, so how could they tolerate a unified communication array?
Except for a few great arcanists, the local lords probably would not be willing to use such a communication array that is not under their control. After all, those who master the communication array can "see" all communication information.

Without changing this, no one will accept such a communication array.

And the method Xia Duo thought of is also very simple, just two points——

Do not build a complete communication array, and encryption!
The biggest advantage of the communication array is that it is similar to a magic net, and anyone with authority can communicate with it, but aside from this, [Background Communication] is still a very powerful communication spell.

The distance is super long!

If it is not for the convenience of more people, there is no need to build a communication array at all, and a single spell can also be used, but its casting threshold is as high as level 5.

In order to adapt to the actual situation of Netheril, Xia Duo's communication plan weakened the ability of this spell to a certain extent, specifically, it was to create a communication magic weapon.

After Xia Duo's simplification, [Background Communication] no longer transmits images and sounds, but only transmits short text messages, only at the level of 2 rings, which has reached the minimal level that Xia Duo can achieve.

If there is no magic net string on the second layer of the magic net, it is difficult to load information on the magic net background fluctuation, and then spread it with the help of the magic net background fluctuation.

At this point, it is actually enough. Xia Duo reckons that the new communication spell of Lord Doleson may not have such a low threshold.

However, since it is an entire communication solution, it cannot be so simple. In addition to encryption measures, Xia Duo also needs to design a specific communication tool to facilitate more people to use.

In addition to the princess's reward, using the permanent magic technology that Tilak is researching can reduce the cost of manufacturing magical artifacts, and selling communication magical artifacts can also make a lot of money.

Now Xia Duo is stuck on encryption measures and communication instruments.

The arcane empire on the projected plane also has encryption, but their encryption is provided by the communication array, and the information directly transmitted by the spell is not encrypted. If it is encrypted at the stage of the spell, it will inevitably increase the level of the spell. In fact, It is to raise the threshold of use.

Perhaps the [Background Communication in short text version] of the 2nd ring may become the [Encrypted Short Text Version Background Communication] of the 3rd, 4th ring or even higher.

In addition, there is another problem. It doesn't matter if the spell itself is encrypted enough, it's just a matter of several transformations, but if [encryption of information] is added to the spell design level, it is not what Xia Duo is good at.

It's not like typing code on the earth, you just need to call the relevant function.

In spell design, the analogy of typing code is to write out the specific operation process of a certain function.If it is simple, it is easy for others to crack; if it is complicated, it is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of casting spells and raising the threshold for use.

How to design an encryption system that is relatively simple in form but difficult to crack is indeed a problem.

It took more than ten days for Xia Duo to simplify [Background Communication], and it took only three days to consider the encryption problem. However, it is different from the previous simplification. Although the simplification took a long time, there is progress every day. But now, three days There is no idea.

"Sorrow, worry!"
