Chapter 1577: Big Data Teaching Method and Prospects of Tower Spirit Training

Xia Duo told Niya that the information was extremely important and that she must study it diligently; as for the research on the Communication Mythallar, there was no need to rush it for the moment.

Even the first generation of Communication Magic Tools had not yet been popularized! Not to mention that there would be updates and replacements later on, so there was even less need to rush the Mythallar.

"You should know about the Blue Crystal Plane, right? I am working on a major project. If everything goes as expected, I will also build a Mythallar. If you learn quickly enough here, perhaps you can catch up with my project."

"You mean that—"

Niya happily crawled out from under the covers, about to say the word, but worried about causing some bad consequences, she quickly covered her mouth, staring at Xia Duo with her bright, large eyes in anticipation.

"Yes, it is the Floating City project I mentioned to you earlier in the Blue Crystal Plane."

Before receiving confirmation from Iolum, the word 【Mythallar】 was not convenient to speak aloud, but there was nothing taboo about a Floating City, especially not now.

It was even fine to discuss 【Mythallar】 casually; after all, it had already received the Goddess's recognition and endorsement.

"I will definitely study hard. Then, what kind of Mythallar are you planning to build?"

"It is mainly for energy management and dynamic Magic Net reconstruction. You don't need to worry about this right now; finish studying the *Promotion Compendium* first."

"Then when will you start?" Niya pushed Xia Duo with some worry, "What if I can't catch up?"

"That depends on your learning efficiency!"

Xia Duo laughed, not telling Niya the timetable for building the Floating City Mythallar; in reality, this timeline was very flexible.

The current Floating City had only completed the first stage of the main design, and the main body hadn't even been built yet. Even if the main body were built, there would still be many engineering problems to solve, such as the wiring for the energy transmission lines of various Redundant Systems.

Building the Mythallar could be considered the final stage of engineering! The only things that would come after the Mythallar would probably be creating a Tower Spirit and moving the Floating City to the Main Plane.

However, it was good to give Niya a little pressure appropriately. Besides this, Xia Duo also planned to participate deeply in Niya's study plan.

He believed that Niya had the ability to learn on her own, but wouldn't it be better if there were a teacher who had a comprehensive understanding of the entire learning goal to guide her?

Moreover, Xia Duo was also preparing to explore a new teaching method. It would not just be fixed courses, but rather customized courses best suited for each Apprentice based on their own mastery and Application of knowledge points.

Currently, Xia Duo could only maintain a very small number of such special teachings by himself, but in the future, if a Magic Computer capable of big data analysis appeared, perhaps this teaching method could be promoted to all Apprentices.

In fact, in the magic world, big data analysis did not have to rely solely on computers; certain individuals with powerful consciousness could also do it, such as Xia Duo.

Although the efficiency might be lower, having it at all was already a great breakthrough.

It was a pity that the threshold for manufacturing a computer in the magic world was not small at all. If one did not want to build a behemoth larger than a Floating City, one had to overcome the high-cost threshold of Spell Chips.

Xia Duo had once tried a thousand-Element-level Spell Chip in a Projection Plane, which was a 28-layer Force Shield. The effect was very good, but if it were placed in the Main Plane, the cost of that single chip would exceed one million Gold Coins.

This was also the main reason why Xia Duo had not conducted relevant experiments since then; there was no other reason, he simply couldn't afford to play with it.

The most fatal thing was that a computer did not just require chip technology. Xia Duo still remembered the *Principles of Computer* he studied back then; the content involved, when laid out, was no simpler than the current Netheril Magic System.

If computers on Earth were like this, magic-version computers would not be any simpler. It was basically impossible for him to do it alone, unless he spent an incredibly long time grinding away at it, and even then, it might not succeed! He might just get stuck on some key problem.

Currently, Xia Duo was still paying more attention to Tower Spirits, but Tower Spirits were closer to metaphysics, and it was difficult to form a unified input-output standard.

Even for a single Tower Spirit, it was actually closer to human natural Wisdom and natural logic, just without distinguishing between subconscious and Conscious Mind.

Communicating with a Tower Spirit was more similar to communicating with a person, but the depth of thought was far inferior to that of a human. Therefore, training a Tower Spirit to perform big data analysis was almost as difficult as teaching a fool to learn advanced mathematics.

As for how to train a Tower Spirit, because Xia Duo had never truly owned one, he actually did not know how to train it, but he speculated that it should be possible to directly import some kind of thought pattern.

Otherwise, how were the many response mechanisms of the Tower of Time's Tower Spirit set up? It could even achieve the setting of "settings"—this was something Xia Duo had personally practiced.

Xia Duo did not believe that all the settings were completed during the process of Spellcasting. When the Seven Towers sold the Tower Spirit creation Spell, they must also provide the subsequent adjustment methods, or rather, training methods, for the Tower Spirit.

He had already asked Iolum to pass on the word that he wanted to build a new Mage Tower. By rights, the Seven Towers should have sent someone to the Tower of Time long ago to discuss the sale of the Tower Spirit creation Spell and the Tower Spirit carrier core.

But up to now, Xia Duo had not received any relevant information.

"Perhaps it is influenced by the Magic Restriction Treaty; the Seven Towers do not want some people to oppose the Seven Towers' distribution plan because they have an extra Mage Tower before the specific distribution plan is implemented."

The Seven Towers' division of shares for large-scale magic activities within Netheril was mainly based on Senior Arcanists and Great Arcanists, and basically did not involve Mage Towers.

And when this matter was discussed in the Arcane Union, many people proposed to refer to the past distribution methods of the Arcane Union for various benefits, allocating them by Mage Tower.

There were even more outrageous ones, requesting to allocate by Archmage.

Xia Duo guessed that perhaps the Seven Towers were worried that after he had another Mage Tower, he would turn to support the distribution based on Mage Towers. (He already had the Tower of Time and the Watchtower)

After all, for forces outside the Seven Towers, even if they had Senior Arcanists and Great Arcanists, it was difficult to maintain them forever, so it was safer to allocate by Mage Tower.

Even if the allocated share was smaller, it was much better than not getting any share at all if they lost their Senior Arcanists and Great Arcanists one day in the future.

"I intended to illuminate the bright moon with my heart, but the bright moon shines upon the ditch instead!"

In fact, Xia Duo highly agreed with the Seven Towers' distribution method; shares for large-scale magic activities should not fall into the hands of people or forces that had no use for them at all.

Or, as he had suggested to Iolum before, take out a portion of the shares and put them into the Arcane Union. Whoever was not satisfied before, and later met the conditions, could just apply for them; it was better than wasting them.
