Chapter 1222: Inspiration Amplification, Mithril Model

Seventon.

Walking out of Giles Tower and hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, the heart that Xia Duo had been keeping in his throat finally settled; no matter how confident he was, being on someone else's turf always brought some worry.

Afterwards, Xia Duo did not walk back to the Arcane Union, but chose to teleport instead; teleportation was prohibited near Giles Tower, but the restriction did not apply to a Senior Arcanist like him.

Taking one last look at the towering and profound Giles Tower in the night, Xia Duo sighed slightly in his heart, then immediately activated a Teleportation Spell.

……

Returning to the Arcane Union, Xia Duo ate a little something and returned to his residence; having already been busy for a day, plus those few days in the Astral Plane, he should have been mentally exhausted.

But he felt no sleepiness at all now; his inner state was actually not as calm as he had just appeared before those Great Arcanists at the Seven Towers.

No one could guarantee what consequences the death of a Great Arcanist would trigger.

"Sigh! Why did I have to encounter such a thing!" Xia Duo sighed again.

Following that, he contacted Niya, briefly explained the situation on his end, and then began to occupy his brain with work.

Taking out paper and pen, and using Memory Retrospection to perceive the moment he visited the Mithril Mine in Leisen Territory a few days ago (Main Plane time is today), Xia Duo recorded the characteristics of the mithril vein fed back by the previous Infrasonic Detection one by one in the form of text and diagrams.

After this task was finished, time had unknowingly reached late at night, but Xia Duo still had no intention of resting, instead continuing to organize these data.

He first divided the data into several groups based on the mithril content of the mine provided by Stern, the son of the Lord of Leisen, and then analyzed the patterns hidden in each group of data one by one.

This was a fairly massive project, but for Xia Duo, his extraordinary memory ability allowed him to "load" a large amount of information into his consciousness at once and perform a "quantum calculation"-like direct output of results.

This was actually the effect of amplifying inspiration; if it were someone else, provided they also had such a huge "conscious memory" like his, that person could also perform similar operations.

It is just like comparing the similarities, differences, or even patterns of two 2D data sets; ordinary people or even Primary School students can see it at a glance, but if it were 100 sets of 100D data, ordinary people would not be able to see it directly.

They might not even be able to get an overview of a single number, let alone compare the similarities and differences of 100 data sets.

Under such circumstances, one generally needs to use algorithms, computers, and other tools to perform dimensionality reduction analysis; Xia Duo often did this kind of work as a Programmer before he transmigrated.

Of course, in theory, any big data analysis is based on the capabilities possessed by ordinary people, which is to say, no matter how much data or how complex the data is, as long as enough time and manpower are given, it can certainly be calculated "manually."

In some calculation processes, the unique non-linear thinking of humans can even improve efficiency.

On Earth, the development of computers has far exceeded the limits of ordinary humans, and the amount of data is also astonishingly large; in such a situation, professional human analysts have instead become entities that tune computer programs.

And in this Magic world, Xia Duo has not yet encountered anything like a computer, and according to existing theories, the hardware requirements for a computer in the Magic world are extremely harsh.

To reach the level of the mobile phone Xia Duo had before he transmigrated, the difficulty is almost no less than shrinking an Independent Arcane Fire Device to the size of a fingernail.

Under such circumstances, the "large memory" of thinking brought about by "Memory Retrospection" appears even more precious.

Being able to load a large amount of information at once and perform global non-linear thinking has the external manifestation of inputting a large amount of information and then directly reaching a conclusion.

It looks more like a manifestation of some extreme intelligence or infinite inspiration.

Of course, this is still limited to situations with a small amount of data; if there is too much data to be loaded at once, this data analysis method becomes ineffective.

Such a situation is not uncommon on Earth; the so-called Law of Large Numbers is a conclusion that can only be reached with a sufficient number of sample data.

It is conceivable that such patterns will certainly not be scarce in the Magic world.

Fortunately, these echo feedback data were still within Xia Duo's processing range; the only consequence of having few samples was that the accuracy of the final mithril vein echo feedback model was insufficient.

But this did not matter.

Xia Duo was not preparing to find a model that was 100% applicable and absolutely free of misjudgment all at once; technology itself is constantly developing, and perhaps the model he derived today would be overturned by a better one tomorrow!

Moreover, he was doing this only to conduct a preliminary investigation into the potential mithril mines in his Territory, looking only to see if they existed, without analyzing the specific abundance of the mineral deposits.

If a mithril mine were discovered, the subsequent refinement of the model could be completely handed over to the Mages of the Tower of Time to do.

If it could not be discovered, then there was a high probability that there was no mine, or the model itself had huge flaws, and one could wait for future technological improvements.

……

Devoting himself entirely to work made Xia Duo forget all his worries, and it was not until the Magic Moment he had cast on himself reminded him that he realized he had unknowingly pulled an all-nighter.

As for the results of the all-nighter, they were quite gratifying.

He derived more than ten echo feedback models related to the mithril content in the vein; subsequently, he needed to find more universal mithril characteristics among them, so as to establish a more precise model and provide stable assistance for the mineral survey of the Territory.

And this was difficult to make any qualitative breakthrough from the data aspect alone; it required studying the characteristics of the mithril vein itself.

Xia Duo had also brought back some raw mithril ore from Leisen Territory; if it were for the purpose of refining mithril, this bit of ore would be completely insignificant, but if it were for correcting the model, every little bit had its effect.

It was just that now was not the best time to do these things; he had not forgotten why he was still staying in Seventon!

At the thought of this, Xia Duo's mood suddenly became a bit low again, and at the same time, the accumulated fatigue, as well as the long hours of continuous thinking tonight, made the nerves on his forehead twitch.

"Must rest!"

Recording some necessary data convenient for others to study onto paper, and then saving these papers in a corner of his Personal Space, only after doing all this did Xia Duo lie on the bed and cast a Sleep Spell on himself.

"Mind Magic is indeed an excellent weapon for dealing with insomnia!"

……

In fact, Mind Magic is not only an excellent weapon for dealing with insomnia, but also the best choice for an alternative form of Longevity!

After just three or four hours, Xia Duo woke up from his deep sleep; with a slight perception, his abundant mental state made him unhesitatingly give the Sleep Spell he had created a big 99 points in his heart.

As for why it wasn't a perfect score, it was only because he had higher expectations for the Sleep Spell.
