Arcane Lord

After arranging the production increase plan at the Tower of Time, Sha Duo returned to the study and continued to study communication spells. With the ready-made spells from the Arcane Empire of the Projection Plane in hand, there wasn't much he really needed to do.

In the period since returning to Severington, what he has done has been more focused 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 Sha Duo wanted to send was not a single spell, but a whole new communication solution.

The Arcane Empire of the Projection Plane has specially set up a communications department to be responsible for communications throughout the territory. It uses a spell called [Background Communications] to link various communications departments within the territory like a network, forming a communications array that covers the entire territory and even beyond.

The so-called [Background Communication] actually uses the background fluctuations of the Magic Network to transmit information, which is similar to the principles of [Echo Perception] and [Magic Network Moment] that Sha Duo knew in the main plane.

What is used is the background fluctuation of the Magic Network. The difference is that [Background Communication] uses the background fluctuation of the Magic Network to transmit information, while [Magic Network Time] uses the background fluctuation of the Magic Network for timing.

As for [Echo Perception], it is just a small spell, simply used to sense the background fluctuations of the magic network. You don't even need this spell, you can also perform fuzzy perception through intuition.

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

In terms of theory, Netheril is only at the preliminary application stage of the background fluctuations of the Magic Network, while the Arcane Empire in the projection plane is already exploring the deep principles behind the background fluctuations of the Magic Network.

Why does the Magic Network fluctuate? Why is there such a fluctuation? Besides timing and communication, what else can it be used for?

some type of.

The arcanists of the Arcane Empire have put forward a hypothesis, saying that the background fluctuation of the magic network is caused by the overlap and resonance between the magic network and the plane. As for why there is such a fluctuation, it may be related to the elemental roots of the plane.

Theoretically, based on the perspective of the plane, the background fluctuations of the magic network will not change for a long time.

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

However, 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 with the current war, it is impossible to spare huge manpower and material resources to study this.

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

However, Xia Duo has actually verified part of this aspect, proving that the background fluctuation of the magic network is indeed related to the plane. The background fluctuation of the magic network in the [Blue Crystal Plane] is completely different from the main plane.

…

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

However, there is a question here, who should control this communication array?

Is it the Austrian-French Federation? Or Severington Council? Or maybe some great arcanist?

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

The Arcane Federation is a product of contradictions and compromises. All the great arcanists have failed to reach a unified opinion. How can they tolerate a unified communication array?

Except for a few great arcanists, the lords from all over the world are unlikely to be willing to use such a communication array that is not under their control. After all, those who control the communication array can "see" all communication information.

If this is not changed, no one will accept such a communication array.

And the method that Xia Duo came up with 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 the magic network, and anyone with authority can communicate with it, but aside from this, [Background Communication] is still a very powerful communication spell.

The distance is too long!

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

In order to adapt to the actual situation in Netheril, Shado's communication plan weakened the ability of this spell to a certain extent, specifically, the creation of communication instruments.

After Xia Duo's simplification, [Background Communication] no longer transmits images and sounds, but only transmits brief text messages. It only has a two-ring level. This has reached the minimalist level that Xia Duo can achieve.

Without the Magic Network String on the second layer of the Magic Network, it would be difficult to load information onto the Magic Network background fluctuations and then spread it with the help of the Magic Network background fluctuations.

At this point, it is actually enough. Xia Duo estimates that Lord Doraisen's new communication spell may not have such a low threshold.

However, since it is a complete communication solution, it cannot be that simple. In addition to encryption measures, Xia Duo also needs to design specific communication tools to facilitate the use of more people.

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

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

The Arcane Empire in the projection plane also has encryption, but their encryption is provided by the communication array. The information directly transmitted by the spell is not encrypted. If it is encrypted at this stage of the spell, it will inevitably increase the level of the spell. In fact, That is to say, the threshold for use has been raised.

Maybe the Level 2 [Short Text Version Background Communication] may turn into a Level 3, Level 4 or even higher [Encrypted·Short Text Version Background Communication].

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

This is not like typing code on earth, where you only need to call the relevant functions.

In spell design, coding by analogy means writing out the specific operation process of a certain function. If it is simple, it will be easy for others to crack; if it is complex, 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.

Xia Duo spent more than ten days simplifying [Background Communication], and only considered the encryption issue for three days. But it was different from the previous simplification. Although the simplification took a long time, there was progress every day. But now, in three days, No ideas at all.

"Sad, sad!"
