Chapter 463

Currently, the magic power level of wizards is not much different from the future.

But lacking the Magic Net—this magic compiler and responder—wizards not only have to expend more magic power to cast spells, but they also have to rely on their own imagination and knowledge systems to form the effects of the magic, resulting in extremely low efficiency.

If a Magic Net were established and followed by training, although the wizards' abilities would still not be enough to contend with enemies at the level of demigods and archangels, reaching the standard of future Aurors to deal with those superficial angel legions would not be much of a problem.

However, Murphy's establishment of the Magic Net is not just to benefit wizards.

Like the Rhine Gold, the Magic Net is a key link in his subsequent "God-Locking" plan.

The demigods were skeptical that the Magic Net could enhance the strength of wizards, but after Murphy added that with some adjustments, the Magic Net could also significantly enhance the power of demigods and even deities, the demigods finally became interested and took the initiative to ask about the method of building the Magic Net.

"The Magic Net can be seen as a magic power amplifier," Murphy said. "Its construction consists mainly of three parts. First, magic power of various different attributes—the more powerful and extreme in nature, the better. Second, materials to carry the magic power—magic metals like mithril and orichalcum are among them. Third, a ritual to combine these materials and magic power into a specific structure."

This is actually the "artificial Magic Net" technology that Haldane, Jim Stik, and others reverse-engineered from the Magic Net in the future timeline.

But at this moment, Murphy is preparing to use it to build the real Magic Net.

In fact, to this day, he is basically convinced that the "Magic Net" they discovered in the future was most likely created by himself.

Otherwise, he really cannot imagine who else, besides him, would build such a massive magic engineering project.

And he does indeed need the Magic Net to complete his plan.

Murphy then roughly explained the specific plan for building the Magic Net.

First, it is necessary to produce high-quality magic metal to carry and separate magic power of various special attributes.

The Magic Net has extremely high requirements for magic metal, and the magic power crafting technology of the wizards in the camp clearly cannot meet them.

However, it doesn't matter. The wizards' technology was stolen from the goblins, and the essence of goblin alchemy, apart from a portion that is racial heritage, actually comes from a certain trickster and god of lies in Northern Europe who cannot be named—they learned many advanced enchanting and smelting techniques from the artifacts Loki crafted for the Aesir gods.

But now, with Murphy, the grandmaster of goblin metallurgy, present, there is naturally no need to worry about the crafting of magic metal.

After producing qualified magic metal, it is necessary to collect magic power of various attributes. In this regard, the magic power of the demigods themselves is quite suitable; their magic power is derived from their respective father deities, and because those deities' magic power is transformed from divine offices and divinity, it has been "conceptualized" and appears very extreme in its attributes.

For example, the magic power of the offspring of the god of love carries strong charm abilities, while the magic power of the offspring of the god of the sea possesses water attributes, and so on.

But letting the demigods participate now is not conducive to Murphy's control, so Murphy merely chose to screen from the magic power of the wizards themselves.

In fact, he is not at all short of magic power of various attributes. After Ragnarök, the various extreme magic powers Murphy collected from the Norse gods were completely sufficient for him to build several Magic Net nodes. But he is not building the Magic Net just for the sake of the Magic Net itself; he also has to use this to drag the demigods, and the deities behind them, into the water, so he naturally has to leave room for the gods to get involved.

In the future, after these two steps are completed, the Magic Net node is actually built on a physical level. One only needs to adjust its resonance frequency to be consistent with the real Magic Net to merge it into the Magic Net.

This Magic Net node is like a computer with only the most primitive paper tape input/output mode. Even now, when the Magic Net does not exist, Murphy can use some means to communicate with this magic node and complete some operations similar to those that can only be done through the Magic Net.

But this requires an extremely profound understanding of the essence of the Magic Net, as well as a very high level of magic power manipulation technology.

Traversing the past and future, besides Murphy, it is almost impossible for a second person to replicate this method of manipulation.

Therefore, if he wants to make this Magic Net node a tool that all wizards can use—thereby becoming a trap to lure the demigods and deities into jumping in—Murphy must complete the final step: build a set of operating rules for this magic network that only has hardware, which is to load a set of self-running software for it.

This set of operating rules needs to meet the following requirements:

1. Simple interaction methods, so that wizards can precisely guide magic effects with just short spells or gestures.

2. Cheap magic power consumption, so that the wizards' meager magic power levels can still cast spells persistently.

3. Powerful expansion capabilities to satisfy the endless creativity of wizards, ensuring it can always be used to better achieve the wizards' intentions rather than restricting them.

For this, Murphy is preparing to equip the Magic Net with a brain-like neural network and perform a certain degree of pre-training on it.

This is not difficult; he already has memristor-based brain-like chips, and large neural network models are readily available. At the same time, he also has a large number of mature magic and spell paradigms on hand. Building a program that can adapt to the vast majority of magic scenarios based on them is just a matter of engineering workload; there are no technical bottlenecks.

The entire plan for the Magic Net construction had long since taken shape in Murphy's mind, so he spoke eloquently, but the demigods were left dizzy by his explanation.

With their meager level of knowledge and shallow understanding of magic power, they could not understand the many complex magic manipulation techniques in Murphy's words at all.

One by one, they listened as if to a heavenly book, complaining incessantly. When they heard that Murphy intended to hand over the construction work of the Magic Net to the wizards who were more familiar with magic technology, they all felt as if they had been granted amnesty, fearing they might be involved.

Murphy cursed this group of guys for only wanting to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, while inwardly sneering.

Don't blame me for not giving you a chance; it's that I gave you a chance and you couldn't use it.

They only thought about handing such complex and difficult work to the hardworking wizard community and enjoying the results themselves, without thinking that in this way, the Magic Net would become a technical black box for them.

Murphy will leave them the most convenient and fast user interface, but naturally, he will also leave the most hidden and efficient backdoor for himself at the underlying level.

This is a trap, but it is also an open conspiracy.

For users of magic, the Magic Net is like an electronic computer after the appearance of the Windows system; its improvement in efficiency is a bait that gods cannot refuse.

But before they possess sufficient knowledge of the essence of magic power and magic technology, their permissions within the Magic Net will forever be under Murphy's control.

However, the idealistic nature of gods determines that they cannot obtain such in-depth knowledge.

This is an unbreakable trap that exploits the inherent flaws of gods.

This is the cage Murphy has prepared for the gods.
