Chapter 1282: Luo Zi, Teleportation Management Spell Proposal
Judgment Division survival base, Research Institute.
Yilisi left after sending Xia Duo to the Research Institute. Afterward, the person who took over Xia Duo's onboarding procedures was an Assistant Researcher named "Luo Zi"; naturally, he was also an Advanced Rank Mage.
After completing the onboarding procedures, Luo Zi took Xia Duo to collect some necessary supplies and finally arranged a place for Xia Duo to stay. Before leaving, he also reminded him:
"In three days, Vice Dean Samuel will review your improvement proposal. If you can satisfy him, your rank will be set to Level 1 Researcher, and you will have your own Independent Research Lab."
Luo Zi's words revealed a sense of envy. Xia Duo did not get carried away by this; he politely sent Luo Zi off before returning to his room to open the task book he had just received.
"Positioning technology based on Magic Web Background Fluctuation is widely applied in the fields of communication and teleportation?"
The information in the task book was quite substantial. In addition to specific details about this positioning technology, it also provided various application scenario examples for Xia Duo to reference.
And in terms of advancement, this technology actually already exceeded the applications in the Communication Spell and Teleportation Spell that "Maikade" had previously mastered.
Xia Duo flipped through the task book back and forth no fewer than three times. Combined with his previous understanding of Magic Net Background Communication, this technology no longer posed any difficulty for him.
The so-called "positioning based on Magic Web Background Fluctuation" is actually not a one-sided active positioning, but a real-time positioning that requires the target to cooperate and respond.
When one party sends a signal, if the target does not respond, the communication or teleportation is similar to a probability cloud state spreading in all directions. Only when the target responds does the consumption of the communication or teleportation instantly transform into a concrete event.
Before the target responds, almost anyone could potentially crack and access such a signal, and simultaneously access the teleportation or communication.
But once the target responds, people other than the target will lose the vast majority of opportunities to crack it.
As long as both parties agree on a key in advance, the security of the teleportation or communication will be greatly improved, and most importantly—
Because this technology is essentially the positioning of a key possessing certain characteristics, it does not leak the actual geographic coordinates of the teleportation or communication target.
This plays a crucial role in the concealment of the various bases of the Empire Remnants.
Corresponding to this is the fact that "Maikade" had almost no concept of positioning technologies that point to actual geographic coordinates, such as Six-dimensional Coordinate, and even less of a concept of detecting the actual coordinates of a location.
This was definitely the result of someone artificially erasing the traces of relevant spells and technologies.
Xia Duo had experienced the Arcane Empire era. At that time, there was no such positioning technology based on Magic Web Background Fluctuation; perhaps it existed, but it did not become mainstream, or it was something he could not come into contact with at the time.
……
"How should this be improved?"
After reading the task book, Xia Duo thought almost immediately of the Communication Management Spell developed by Giles Tower on the Main Plane.
This spell was released in the Arcane Federation Monthly along with 【Magic Net Background Communication】 at the time. Its function was similar to a mobile phone's answering interface, allowing one to choose to answer or reject.
Of course, even if one chose to answer, it was only to receive spell information like voice or video, not real-time communication like a telephone.
If this spell did not exist, Magic Net Background Communication could completely be used as spam text messages.
As long as the communication positioning is not based on key positioning, but only on simple constraint conditions, or even without constraining acceptance conditions, it would truly become a "spatial broadcast."
Ordinary people, and even Mages who had not mastered the spell to reject Magic Net Background Communication, could all be submerged in endless junk messages.
Giles Tower perhaps foresaw such a scene, so they included the Communication Management Spell with the communication spell.
Now, what Xia Duo thought of was not using this spell to block junk messages; after all, the Empire Remnants here mostly use key positioning, which can be understood as real-name authentication, so there wouldn't be many junk messages.
But because communication and teleportation both require the target to respond, this would waste a large amount of the responder's time in practice.
……
Take the Yilisi branch as an example. As a branch Supervisor and Senior Arcanist, Yilisi also needed to serve as a Teleportation Mage.
Otherwise, those working in the field would neither be able to contact the base nor teleport back once they were outside; they would truly become savages.
It was only because the Yilisi branch had not been established for long and only had two task groups that this was the case; other branches would have full-time Teleportation Mages.
Including this time, when Xia Duo and Yilisi returned to the Judgment Division Headquarters survival base, it was also guided by a Teleportation Mage.
Otherwise, even a Senior Arcanist like Yilisi might not necessarily be able to return to Headquarters.
A Teleportation Mage is undoubtedly a huge waste of important manpower, staying in the Teleportation Room day after day waiting for teleportation signals, unable to do anything else.
Otherwise, if important information or a critical teleportation opportunity were delayed, it would be inevitable to suffer a round of punishment.
If a 【Teleportation Management Spell】 similar to the Communication Management Spell were introduced, allowing the Teleportation Mage to automatically respond to teleportation and communication signals, then as long as they were in the base and in the Teleportation Room, it would not delay their normal activities.
One only needs to remember to maintain the 【Management Spell】 on oneself at all times.
……
Besides the 【Teleportation and Communication Management Spell】, another improvement point Xia Duo could think of in the short term was the Communication Mythallar, or even the Teleportation Mythos.
The latter was actually content that Niya was researching. Starting from Magic Web Background Fluctuation and combining it with the Mythallar data provided by Xia Duo, she wanted to research a Communication Mythallar with an extremely wide coverage that everyone could use.
If a teleportation function were added, it would simply be a case of divine soldiers descending from heaven.
It was just that such an improvement was not something a novice like "Maikade," who had just entered the Research Institute and wasn't even an Arcanist, could make.
Even for Xia Duo, he was temporarily powerless. Niya had researched for such a long time and only had minor progress; for him to want to produce a proposal within three days was simply unrealistic.
However, the relevant ideas could still be proposed, which could more or less allow the higher-ups to raise their evaluation of "Maikade."
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, just after Xia Duo had finished lunch, Luo Zi came looking for him, "Mage Maikade, are you ready? Vice Dean Samuel will see you in Laboratory 003 on the second basement level!"
"Understood."
Xia Duo responded and brought the prepared "Several Application Scenarios of the 【Teleportation and Communication Management Spell】 in the Fields of Teleportation and Communication" as well as "Some Ideas Regarding the Establishment of a 【Teleportation and Communication Mythallar】," and went out with Luo Zi.
……
This base of the Vengeance Tribunal Headquarters, as far as Xia Duo knew now, had four levels in total, with the lowest level housing a large number of Commoners, including academy students, young children, and so on.
Maikade lived there before becoming an Advanced Rank Mage. Above the bottom level was where the Research Institute was located, occupying an entire level.
Before today, Xia Duo had thought the Research Institute only had one level; he didn't expect there to be a second basement level. Of course, that was the level where the higher-ups were located.
As for the last level he knew of, it was the transit level; incoming teleportations or teleportations to the outside world all had to be conducted there.
Under normal circumstances, the vast majority of people in this base would never come into contact with that place in their entire lives.
