Studying Science in the Alternate World

Snap.

His fingers hit the Enter key on the keyboard, and suddenly, the screen of the optical computer showed a picture of dialing up and connecting to the Internet.

After a while, the optical brain on Duke's desk successfully connected to the federal intranet.

"Arcanist mages are full of talents." Duke looked at the optical computer that was connected to the intranet, and while visiting the "Alfa Tower Cloud Library" website, he sighed, "After N years of development, the software on earth can Smooth Internet access, here, it has become so silky smooth in a short time.”

He shook his head and laughed to himself: "But it's normal. The ring structure is the most magical coding here. Arcane mages are exposed to coding every day. It's just software coding, which is really not worth mentioning."

He himself is also an accomplished coding expert.

Moreover, with the help of Xiaoyi, he can code almost any software he wants in a very short time.

For example, the "Aufata Cloud Library" website he is visiting at the moment was designed and written by him and Xiaoyi personally. Arcane mages in the federal "civil service" system can access the software only with the help of the magic spirit card information. .

However, magic spirit cards with different status levels have different access rights.

As a star, a prophet, and one of the six Speakers of the Federation, he has full access to the top leadership of the Federation.

But ordinary arcanists can only access some popular content.

certainly.

Although the current "Offata Cloud Library" website has complete categories, the information under each category is quite sparse, and even many materials only have one name.

"It's still an empty shell. It will probably take several years to build the database of the cloud library." Duke lamented.

The Tower of Offa records a large amount of spiritual and arcane knowledge. Since the invention of film and television technology, this knowledge has been stored on phantom cards and CDs, but it has not been completely sorted out so far. It is really too rich in knowledge.

Now we have to move this knowledge to the network for storage, which cannot be accomplished overnight.

After casually browsing the still-empty "Offata Cloud Library", Duke closed the web page and visited several new web pages.

But similar to the web pages in the cloud library, most of the web pages are empty shells.

As for some design software in the optical brain, at present, it is also a rough version. The optical brain R\u0026D team has only built the framework of the software system. The main technical research targets in the early stage are the hardware system and the iteration of the optical core.

"The software system will be built by thousands of arcane mages once optical computers are popularized." Duke thought.

Then he clicked on a software icon on the optical computer screen.

"Ding Ding" is the name of this software. As for the icon style, it is a Q version of the image of a ray giant. This software was designed and written by Duke himself. It is the first instant messaging and chat software in the entire Wilderness Continent.

What he learned from was QQ on Earth. Originally, he wanted to learn from WeChat, but on the optical computer, QQ is more convenient to operate.

Because Duke wrote the DingDing software himself, he knew all the functions clearly.

After proficiently entering the account password, he opened his own Ding Ding. The nine-digit number 000000001 was Duke's Ding Ding number.

As for others, they need to use a magic spirit card to register an account.

"Ibuprofen."

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Inform the heads of each laboratory to register your Dingding account as soon as possible, and I will bring everyone into the group chat." Duke said.

"Okay." Ibuprofen was executed immediately.

The Duke Sage Mage Tower and the six affiliated towers have established a complete local area network, and are allowed to access the federal intranet, so every person in charge with an optical brain can apply to register a Dingding account and start chatting.

Soon, one after another, laboratory directors began to register their own Dingding accounts, and were then dragged into the group chat by Duke.

"Oak Tooth One" was the name Duke gave to the group chat.

Unlike everyone on Earth who wears a mask on the Internet, Duke allowed Faling Tower to intervene in the Internet from the very beginning and implement real-name access to the Internet. Therefore, everyone’s Dingding account cannot have some cool or interesting names, it can only display their own name.

certainly.

On some popular forums, Duke may allow anonymous chat to give everyone some privacy.

"Hello everyone, I am Shanfeisi, the director of Cuihai City Hospital. I am very happy to chat with you all in this way." Shanfeisi was the first to speak in the group chat. Because Dingding is still very simple, there is no The avatar has no special effects or expressions, just a simple text mode.

Someone typed and asked: "Dean Shanfeisi, are you at Cuihai City Hospital?"

"The hospital has just applied to purchase an optical brain, but it hasn't arrived yet, and the external appointment service has been scheduled for a month. It's difficult." Shanfeisi typed slowly, "I'm online at the Medical Research Center of Duke Sage Master Tower. .”

Cuihai City Hospital has a laboratory stationed in it and a medical research center established in cooperation with Duke Sage Master Tower.

"It's really interesting. It's much more interesting than just talking via video conference. Although I can't see you, I can still communicate through typing."

"Click on the name and you can have a private chat with the other person. It's interesting."

"Lord Duke, are you there?"

"exist."

Then a flurry of text came from the computer screen. Duke narrowed his eyes and coldly stopped typing to reply.

Let the heads of each laboratory discuss it enthusiastically in the group chat.

Then he clicked on another group chat called "Star Network Meeting Room", which was also established by him.

The chat inside was extremely heated.

"Leona, you old witch, how dare you gesticulate with me in front of me!" The spokesperson was Purcell Steel Lizard, the guardian of the Lake Light Realm and the prophet of the Life Realm.

Leona immediately replied: "I'm afraid you won't succeed. It's up to you to choose between the Lake Light Domain or the Cross-cutting Domain. If you want to fight in person, whoever doesn't come will be cowardly!"

She is the guardian of the Transverse Domain and a prophet in the pharmacy domain.

"Don't make trouble, it's just a little disagreement. As for a real fight, this is treating the federal laws as nothing!" Tom Xi, the chief director of the Element Tower, typed, "If you really want to fight, you can fight overseas, I am I'll be your referee."

"Chief Tom, I think you are just watching the fun and don't take it too seriously." Joseph, the dean of the Institute of Evil, followed closely behind.

Purcell Steel Lizard: "Hengduan Mountain in the Hengduan Domain. I will arrive on time on a battleship in seven days. Leona, please remember this."

"You guys are really fighting, then I'll hurry up and watch." Meisweis, the guardian of the Huguang Domain and the prophet of the Gu Domain, typed. She is also a female star.

Leona: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Tomsey: "Didn't you see what I typed? If you want to have a real fight, you have to go overseas. I will be the referee for you."

Purcell Steel Lizard: "Go somewhere outside the country and fight quickly. I can beat her husband with only one hand."

Leona: "Fuck you, who are you? I can't kill you!"

Duke figured out what the stars were arguing about, and immediately started typing: "Are you sure? +1 for watching."

The stars are very capable of understanding, and soon some stars played "Onlookers + 2", followed by the mighty "Onlookers + 3 + 4 + 5" and so on.

However, this onlooker trip obviously did not take place.

After Speaker Sirsus joined the group chat, he directly typed and reprimanded: "Purcell Steel Lizard and Leona are not allowed to fight in person, otherwise the Judgment Committee will deprive you two of your responsibilities as stars!"

"Sir, Speaker, you don't have to be so serious, right?" Some stars tried to intercede so that they could continue to watch the fun.

But there was no response from Selsus.

Perhaps they had communicated in private, and soon both Purcell Steel Lizard and Leona typed in the group chat to indicate that they would no longer engage in real fights.

"Hey, bored," Duke typed.

“Boring +1”

“Boring +2”

"Boring +3..."

Then Duke's ding rang out with the coughing sound of a private chat, which was a message from Selsus: "As the six major speakers, don't take the lead in making noises."

"Okay." Duke responded.

"I have carefully considered the establishment of the Internet. There are advantages and disadvantages. In view of its disadvantages, it is necessary to formulate a set of standardized Internet standards. What do you think about this?"

"The Speaker has made his decision, I don't have any ideas." Duke has never been very interested in general affairs and the like.

Everyone has a side that they are good at. He is only good at promoting spiritual arcana. As for managing personnel and governing society, it makes him quite irritable. Therefore, this kind of general affairs should be left to other people, and he concentrated on studying spiritual arcana.

"Then you should pay more attention to the iteration of optical cores and the development of superintelligence."

"good."

After a brief chat, Selsus said with emotion: "This Ding Ding is better than the communication effect of just talking and video."

"Each one has his or her own strengths. Light-talk video has the benefits of light-talk video. Avatar's arrival also has the benefits of avatar's arrival. As for the benefits of Ding-ding, they haven't been fully explored yet... When Ding-ding is updated for a few more generations, I'll let people use the light-talk video If you integrate it, the effect will be even better.”

"Looking forward to it." With a polite word, Selsus logged off.

Duke did not continue to toss on the Internet. After all, the current Internet and optical computers are very crude and rudimentary, and there is not much of the feeling of surfing the Internet on earth in the past.

Turn off the optical brain, Duke still has a lot to do.

According to the itinerary, the advent clone met with the leader of the mission in Endless City, the 7th Ring Morning Star Arcane Mentor, Ocean Minister Matt Carey.

"President Duke, Matt Carey says hello."

"Hello, Sir Matt Carey."

"I take the liberty of visiting you to ask for something." After being polite, Matt Carey got down to business, "Our Endless City is located in the Atlantic Ocean and has more than 500 islands, more than 200 of which have been settled by humans. ."

"Well."

"We are very much looking forward to the optical fiber ring, but it is difficult to lay a cross-sea optical cable, so it is difficult to establish an optical fiber ring between islands. As a result, our main city is endless and it takes a lot of manpower to maintain a cross-sea optical cable."

If Endless City wants to connect to the optical ring of the mainland, it can only do so through this cross-sea optical cable. It is too difficult to ensure the safety of this cross-sea optical cable.

There are more spiritual beasts in the ocean than on land, and they are more ferocious.

From time to time, cross-ocean optical cables are bitten by marine beasts.

"It is not easy to maintain such a cross-ocean optical cable. Our country is really unable to build more cross-ocean optical cables." Matt Carey complained, "But if the island residents cannot connect to the optical fiber ring, they will be spiritually destroyed." The arcane law is left far away, what can I do for it, what can I do for it!"

After a pause, he looked at Duke with hopeful eyes: "Chairman Duke, you are the greatest sage in the world. You invented six rings, which benefited all humans in the Wilderness Continent... Can you develop a different kind of ring?" Do you need communication methods using optical cables?”

"Wireless..." Duke didn't expect that Matt Carey was looking for him because of wireless communication.

He could only shake his head and replied: "To be honest, I have been studying wireless communications for a long time, but until now I have not found a suitable communication method."

"Ah, can't you?"

"It's not impossible, it's just that I haven't succeeded yet, but I won't give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Duke said solemnly, "In Endless City, you should first think of your own ways to see how to solve this problem. Or you can consult other prophets. Help you build safer cross-ocean optical cables.”

"That can only be so." Matt Carey returned disappointed.

After Duke sent Matt Carey away, he also leaned on the sofa chair and pondered for a moment.

Speaking of which, the Ring of Light is certainly a great achievement that is unprecedented in the past, but Duke himself is not satisfied with it in his heart. He still hopes to establish a set of wireless communication technology in addition to wired communication to connect everything.

After all, mobile communications are the foundation of the Internet of Everything.

The constraints of wired communication are too great.

For example, if a warship flies in the sky, it will be separated from the ring of light and faith and cannot be connected to the ring of light and faith. Or a group of mercenaries went deep into the forest. They were also out of the ring of light and could no longer understand the situation.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of rules make electricity lose its transformation into magnetism, and make electromagnetic waves disappear."

Electromagnetic waves cannot be found, nor can spiritual magnetic waves be found.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy are obviously not in the latitude of reality, but are similar to arcane projections, ripples on the real spiritual sea that is invisible and untouchable.

"The true spiritual sea..." Duke murmured softly, "If I can understand the true spiritual sea, and even infer the true spiritual sea... and maintain a normalized arcane projection, can I let the true spiritual sea serve me?"

Thinking about it this way, Duke felt like he had some skills.

"Xiaoyi."

"Master, I'm here."

"Tell me, how can we maintain the normalization of arcane projection?"

"You can use arcane projection technology and spiritual projection technology to locate the position with special arcane weapons, and then maintain the normal expansion of the projection..." Xiaoyi said, explaining a lot, involving all aspects, even the super-forbidden ring structure .

Duke listened carefully.

Then decisively refine the key points: "In other words, if I build a machine that keeps the projection ring unfolding at all times, I can perform normal positioning and maintain the continuous operation of the projection!"

"Theoretically it's possible."

"Then I use this machine and the continuously maintained projection to exchange information. Isn't this wireless communication!"

"Theoretically it's possible."

"Wonderful!" Duke couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. The doubts that had troubled him for many years were quietly disintegrating at this moment.

However, he quickly calmed down: "It seems that the principle is very simple, but to achieve this, it is by no means simple and easy. I need to conduct in-depth research on the Ring of Projection and the Ring of Consonance, and then continue to experiment with projection positioning and information exchange!"

Heavy workload.

But Duke was very motivated: "Xiao Yi, please squeeze out all the current processes and free up at least 30% of my efficiency for special research..."

He planned to give his research a code name.

If this research is successful, wireless communication will become a reality, so he plans to name it after the Wireless Ring. But I feel that the wireless ring is not clear enough. It seems that the wireless communication ring is more appropriate, but the abbreviation is not sure.

Suddenly.

He had a flash of inspiration: "I have already invented the ring of light faith, which is wired communication, realized with the help of light; now I want to invent wireless communication technology, with the help of the dark and unpredictable sea of ​​true spirituality, let's just call it the ring of dark faith."

The code name is drawn up and the power is vacated.

Duke will focus on the Ring of Secret Trust project in the next period of time.

For this reason, he transported his intermediate copying ring and high-level copying ring back to Cuihai City for research on Lingxi projection. He also sent the Ring of the Earth to the Holy City of Arcane to maintain his work needs of stars, prophets, and the Supreme Committee.

In this way, while being immersed in the spiritual arcana, time flies by again.

The Ring of Wisdom was released in a global live broadcast at the academic conference venue with great momentum. However, after the live broadcast, the momentum not only did not weaken, but intensified.

After brief negotiations, seventeen countries signed technical extradition contracts with the Seven Towers Federation.

Optical computers roll off the assembly line from Giant of Light's factories all over the country, as well as from the factories of various authorized factories abroad. And quickly merged into the Ring of Light and Letter, establishing large and small local area networks, and finally merged together to form the Manghuang Continent Internet.

The arcane mages who came into contact with the optical brain were quickly fascinated by the optical brain and began to continuously learn how to code software on the optical brain.

Subsequently, more and more websites were established and more and more software was released.

The Internet is becoming more and more prosperous.

But what follows is that the requirements for optical brain hardware are getting higher and higher, the requirements for data storage are getting higher and higher, and the requirements for network operation speed are getting higher and higher.

At the end of Storm Calendar 4434, the Offata Academic Conference Hall, which had already hosted many academic conferences, welcomed a new academic conference.

However, this time it was a joint academic conference, with multiple experimental teams and organizations gathering to release their results.

"Optical Core II is officially released."

"The Galaxy super photon computer, the first generation super brain, has been officially built. Its infinite computing power brings qualitative changes to the spiritual arcana!"

"Dingding Communications fully releases the third generation, with access to video chat technology, emoticon functions, and file transfer functions..."

"The Cloud Library of the Offa Tower has opened its first-level library to the entire continent, and access to the underlying knowledge of spiritual arcana will be free of charge."

"United Tower and Erudite Tower jointly announced that the Seven Towers Federation has officially completed the first phase of construction of the Ring of Light and Information in the market town, and officially started the second phase of construction of the Ring of Light and Information in the market town, striving to achieve the Ring of Light and Information throughout every habitat in the federation as soon as possible!"

"The Giant of Light announced that it will invest heavily in the research and development of a mobile optical computer - a notebook!"

Every achievement is an improvement to the Ring of Wisdom. In the following two or three years, the achievements in spiritual arcana are basically related to the Ring of Wisdom. Some are the development of the Ring of Wisdom itself, and some are research results with the help of the Ring of Wisdom.

The world is developing, and optical cores have been iterating, from the size of a fist to the size of a tea cup lid.

Optical computers have also changed accordingly, from clumsy desktop computers to large-screen all-in-one computers, until the chassis is completely integrated with the screen.

With the help of various super-performance materials produced in the field of alchemy, optical brains do not need to install power supplies, graphics cards, fans, water cooling, hard drives and other hardware like computers on earth. A motherboard integrated card can handle everything.

It can be said that at this point, the optical brain has surpassed the computers on the earth.

"Sir, this is the third generation of optical core that has not yet been announced."

In the Ring of Wisdom Mage Tower, a cooperative laboratory of the Giant of Light Group, the person in charge of the optical core project, a 4-ring Occult mage, was introducing the laboratory's products to Duke.

The second generation optical core has just been released on the market.

But Duke adheres to the concept of "equip one generation, develop one generation, and pre-research one generation" and has made regulations for its laboratories.

Until the third generation of optical cores is developed, the second generation of optical cores will never be put on the market. At the same time, there must be a complete research and development plan for the fourth generation of optical cores.

Therefore, the third generation of optical core is already a finished product.

This is a chip that is not much bigger than a fingernail. Duke holds it in his hand and can sense the space inside the chip and the fine tissue structure.

"Isn't this higher-end than the 7nm chips on Earth?"

Duke felt a burst of pride in his heart. He combined the technologies of the two worlds and finally hatched a wonderful result. The theoretical upper limit of technology on earth is high, but it is limited by materials and manufacturing processes and cannot release the maximum power.

The Manghuang Continent has extraordinary power, and the chips made through alchemy methods have surpassed the chips on the earth.

After watching the third generation of optical cores, Duke then went to another laboratory.

The "Mecha Core Laboratory" belongs to the same Circle of Wisdom Mage Tower, but is not on the same floor. The person in charge of this laboratory is Kailic Gray Deer, who has obtained the title of Erudite Sage and been promoted to the fourth level Earth Arcane Mage.

This foreign arcane mage who was the first to defect to the Duke Sage Mage Tower has been addicted to the exploration of spiritual arcana over the years. Even after being promoted to the fourth level earth arcane mage, he still did not choose to go back.

Instead, he planned to stay in Oak Tooth Mountain and continue his struggle.

"Sir, you are here." Kailic Gray Deer came to greet him personally.

"The third generation optical core is used in the core of mechas. Is it capable of processor performance?" Duke asked as he walked into the laboratory.

There are many semi-finished machines in the laboratory, and many researchers are busy around these semi-finished machines.

On the experimental bench, there are optical computers with complex parameters displayed on the screen.

"A single optical core of the third generation still cannot meet the operation needs of the mecha core. However, we are currently using a stacking method to barely make the mecha core operate. But for the mecha core to really perform well, we have to wait for the fourth generation of optical core."

Kelic Gray Deer made the introduction.

He turned on an optical computer, and a large robot-like device appeared on the screen, with a comparison picture of the driver next to it.

Compared to the driver, the robot is at least five meters tall and has a six-ring lightsaber device installed on its back. The arms are arcane launchers, which can launch arcane spells of levels 1 to 3. At the same time, after activating the embedded arcane spells, higher-level arcane spells can be released.

Here is the project Duke led the research and development of - Mecha in his spare time while studying the Ring of Secret Message.

Using alchemy technology to cast a quasi-arcane mecha and using an optical brain to drive it, once such a mecha is developed, it will become a standing combat device for mankind.

Compared to a battleship, it is countless times lighter.

At the same time, it can amplify the strength of the knight. Even if a level 1 knight drives a mecha, he can still fight at least as well as a level 4 dragon knight.

Compared with hard training, mechas can reach the sky in one step.

In fact, there are various complex puppets in the puppet field, but there are relatively few combat-type puppets, and the operating procedures are too simple to exert much strength. Most puppets on the market can be regarded as advanced engineering equipment, used in construction, mining and other fields.

For example, the six-legged spirit puppet Jar that Duke obtained from the cabin in the woods in his early years is already a top-notch combat puppet.

It just hasn't come in handy.

Duke now wants to combine the optical brain with the puppet to make the puppet truly "alive" and become a powerful combat weapon.

The most important thing is that with the optical brain, arcane hands similar to those cast by Duke can be transplanted onto the mecha, thus turning the mecha into a true arcane turret. There is no need to waste the energy of alchemists to solidify the arcana for the mecha.

Curing a high-level arcane spell consumes more energy than producing a high-level spiritual card, and cannot be produced at all.

"Stack the Optical Core No. 3 first, and try to polish the mecha core, and then put on the mecha prototype." After the visit, Duke ordered Kailic Gray Deer.

Kailic Gray Deer nodded hurriedly and said in an excited tone: "Sir, I am already looking forward to the day when the mecha comes!"

This must be a major weapon to change the pattern of the Wilderness Continent.
