Chapter 62

"Scouting-type wizardry is divided into two types, one is the blessing type, one is the detection type..."

The blessing type doesn't need much special research; after all, repeated blessing doesn't have amplification, just buy a few corresponding wizarding tools.

The focus is on detection-type scouting wizardry.

"Most conventional detection-type scouting wizardry has a detection method similar to radar, returning a result once used; although the consumption is very small, it does indeed produce scouting gaps."

Although there are also wizardry spells that can continuously release feedback results, compared at the same level, the effective range of this type of wizardry and that kind of one-time release feedback result detection-type scouting wizardry is much smaller.

"For me, this problem can be solved, but another more important trouble can't be handled."

Besides the mental power consumption problem, the most important thing for detection-type scouting wizardry is the wizard's information processing ability.

His seal wizarding tools were made on the basis of the cultivation system's high-intensity extraction of external energy, and only needed to be activated, with extremely low consumption.

If the detection ability is solidified into the seal wizarding tool, it can be released continuously without worrying about consumption.

But even if a seal wizarding tool is really made using this method, Jie Ming's usage effect is not much different from an ordinary wizard releasing wizardry, because his information processing ability can't keep up.

Too much information will affect thinking, and even block thinking.

If the seal wizarding tool is used to release scouting-type wizardry too frequently, Jie Ming himself could play himself to collapse before the enemy even makes a move.

The reason why most detection-type scouting wizardry is designed to be one-time effective rather than continuous blessing is precisely because of this.

With the research ability of wizards, wanting to research a detection-type scouting wizardry that has the same range as the same-level one-time detection-type scouting wizardry and can be used continuously is quite easy, but it has no meaning.

A wizard's information processing ability is limited; although with the increase in level, a wizard's computing power and thinking speed will increase rapidly, the effective range of different levels of detection-type scouting wizardry is also increasing exponentially, and the amount of feedback information is growing terrifyingly.

Wanting to turn detection-type scouting wizardry into a continuous release effect, one must inevitably reduce the scouting range to reduce the amount of real-time feedback information.

People in the previous life used radar detection with computer assistance, but most wizards in this world can only rely on their own brains and souls to process information.

"... Eh? Come to think of it, what if I make an auxiliary device similar to a computer to help process information?"

Jie Ming's inspiration flashed, and he opened the Magic Net to search on it.

And the result of the search... how to put it?

Somewhat subtle.

The wizard civilization does indeed have similar things, and the levels are all very high.

Whether it's artificial souls, runic artificial intelligence, or living spirits that combine the advantages of both, they all have the ability to assist in calculation.

The disadvantage is... these things are too high-end!

There are two main problems.

One is the difficulty of production.

Artificial souls don't need to be mentioned; this is the top-tier technology of Alchemy; don't even think about touching this stuff before Level 6.

The difficulty of living spirits and runic artificial intelligence is a bit lower, but it's only "a bit."

The difficulty of making runic artificial intelligence is not much different from making the intelligent AI of the previous life, and it might even be higher.

From algorithm logic, to response mechanism, to rune program compilation, each one is enough to make people go from entry to burial.

As everyone knows, some things you know, you know; if you don't know, you don't know.

A wizard's cultivation only improves "hardware" levels similar to computing power and thinking speed; "software" like thinking logic is not affected at all.

Just like no matter how strong the computing power of a supercomputer is, the one who can solve mathematical problems can only be a human.

As for the technology of "living spirits," to put it nicely, this technology combines the advantages of runic artificial intelligence and artificial souls.

But the problem is, the difficulty of making this thing also combines the difficulties of both.

"Wanting to rely on my current strength to manually rub an auxiliary device is almost impossible..."

Even if I directly buy the full set of manufacturing methods, the time spent to fully understand and completely manufacture it is unimaginable.

With that time, Jie Ming might as well directly improve his hard strength.

Only when his strength reaches a certain bottleneck and needs enough time for precipitation will it be possible to look back and study these things.

"The trade-off between strength improvement and knowledge growth? A world with supernatural power is prone to such trouble..."

And another problem is adaptability.

The same problem as space rings, most of these man-made products can only be used in one or a few specific planes; once they reach a new plane, they are very likely to fail due to rules or differences in certain constants.

The solution is the same as space rings; "just" find a Level 6 wizard to help fix the rules.

"Round and round, the problem is back again."

Jie Ming scratched his head, thought for a moment, and sank his consciousness into the depths of his soul to see if his golden finger had any solutions.

After a while, Jie Ming frowned and opened his eyes:

"This matter is more troublesome than I imagined..."

The Great Dao Library also gave quite a few solutions, similar to driving souls, or creating array spirits, etc.

But the problems are also similar to the wizard world—strength is too low to do it.

Like the simplest driving souls, to let souls assist in calculation, one cannot be as rough as refining a Ten Thousand Soul Sail, but must preserve the soul as completely as possible.

For cultivators with too low a level, just preserving the soul completely is a problem.

"There is a solution, but with my current strength, I can't implement it; it seems... I need to increase my level."

Although the idea of strengthening detection-type scouting wizardry can't be done for the time being, one can start by making scouting seal wizarding tools.

For the next period of time, Jie Ming used the Magic Net to buy knowledge of runes, Alchemy, material science, plane science, perception wizardry, etc., absorbing it thirstily.

However, even the research on scouting-type seal wizarding tools was not smooth sailing.

Detection runes are much more refined and complex than attack or movement runes.

How to make a seal wizarding tool "see" things, instead of simply releasing energy?

How to make the information it "sees" be transmitted back?

How to make it not emit energy fluctuations that are easily detected by enemies while working?

Jie Ming tried to design various rune combinations, but he soon discovered that many detection runes in the wizard system had their core mechanisms built on the basis of the caster's mental power extension.

Solidifying this mechanism directly into an external wizarding tool often results in a greatly reduced effect, or the consumption remains huge.

So the effects of many scouting wizarding tools are only similar to strengthening vision, life vision, this kind of blessing-type scouting wizardry, or taking a different path to project light and shadow onto the target area, rather than directly releasing scouting wizardry.
