Chapter 1698: Information Synchronization and Suggestion

To bypass the restriction that non-creators cannot input information, predecessors devised a scheme that, in Xia Duo's view, was quite ingenious.

That is to set up a "cache area"—of course, this is Xia Duo's term; in a Mage Tower, these areas are generally called "Ziliaoku."

For instance, when Xia Duo first joined the Tower of Time, his voice, image, and some internal documents, such as the material records from the Material Department, were recorded during the registration process.

These data are all saved in the "Ziliaoku," which can be divided into multiple specific locations or saved uniformly in one place, as long as these places are set as "Ziliaoku" in the Tower Spirit's settings.

And these Ziliaoku are equipped with Detection Arrays; although the Tower Spirit has no self and detection can only obtain temporary information, having it is enough.

The key to bypassing the non-creator input restriction lies in this—the creator must set a unique interaction logic for the Tower Spirit!

Whenever the Ziliaoku is updated, the Detection Array will immediately activate, and the temporary information obtained will first be fed back into the creator's consciousness.

Because the creator is essentially connected to the Tower Spirit, this feedback is almost real-time, and while the Tower Spirit provides feedback, the creator simultaneously synchronizes this information into the Tower Spirit in the form of commands.

In this way, other non-creators can query this updated information within the Tower Spirit.

It is actually just a simple information relay.

But realizing it is not easy; the most critical point is how to make the creator automatically synchronize information to the Tower Spirit.

Humans are not machines; the Ziliaoku may update at any time, but how could a person, especially the creator, be on standby at all times, waiting to synchronize information?

Normally, this is very unrealistic, but this world possesses Magic, and Magic or technology can often turn the impossible into the possible.

Through research into the Inheritance Ritual of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo discovered that the true key to this step, when laid bare, is actually very simple: it lies in a 【Suggestion】.

This mental Spell can influence the Subconscious to a certain extent, especially when the Spellcaster casts it on themselves; it is almost certain to succeed.

One only needs to set certain characteristics for the Tower Spirit's feedback in advance, and then cast 【Suggestion】 on oneself; as long as feedback containing a certain characteristic is received, execute certain commands.

It is similar to suddenly performing a small action subconsciously, perhaps without even noticing it oneself.

This, of course, can also include the subconscious activity of synchronizing information to the Tower Spirit.

The Inheritance Ritual of the Tower of Time contained components of Suggestion related to synchronizing information; the inheritor completed the relevant settings without knowing it, or rather, inherited the settings of the previous generation.

Xia Duo had nothing to inherit and had to find a way himself, but in doing so, his utilization of the Tower Spirit became even more thorough.

……

Besides the basic Tower Spirit settings, Xia Duo also designed a digitized panel for the No. 1 Spire, which could also be fed back into his consciousness through the Tower Spirit.

It could even be fed back in the form of continuous visual information!

Or to put it another way, the "data panels" from some fantasy novels Xia Duo had read before transmigrating could now truly be realized!

Others cannot see it; only he can see the virtual panel suspended in the void.

Of course, compared to the panels in novels, the only function of Xia Duo's panel is to display information; other things like "adding points" or "deduction" are completely absent.

"Adding points" might truly be impossible, but "deduction" can still be realized; it can be achieved through the Mind Link of a large number of Spellcasters as a form of proxy deduction.

Xia Duo had already verified the prototype in past Mind Link experiences; it is feasible, but for the time being, he might be the only one who can use this method.

If others want to use it, they must be able to parse Subconscious Information; otherwise, if someone else analyzes it but you cannot understand it, it is as good as nothing.

……

In the past, Xia Duo had attempted digitization in the Tower of Time, but because he was always separated from the Tower Spirit by a layer, the effect of the digitization was not ideal; at most, the information the Tower Spirit gathered was more detailed.

It was equivalent to optimizing the statistical algorithm of the Tower of Time's Tower Spirit, but in actual experience, it did not make people feel a significant difference.

But in the No. 1 Spire, it is different.

The data panel is by no means just displaying the relevant data of the Mage Tower before one's eyes; what it brings is actually the dawn of data visualization and more efficient big data analysis in the future.

Xia Duo had previously used the Communication Artifact Spirit to modify a 【Consciousness-version Big Data Analysis Chip】, but that kind of analysis was actually very crude.

Its only advantage was that it was close to the human thinking mode.

If multiple 【Consciousness Chips】 could be connected in parallel, taking advantage of their high speed, with the highly intelligent Tower Spirit as the hub, and supplemented by 【Suggestion】 as the data interaction medium, this would be a practical big data analysis tool that balances efficiency and speed.

No, it is actually more than that.

If it could really be realized, it could even assist Xia Duo in Magic research; the purely theoretical parts could almost be completely handed over to such a tool.

"A consciousness-version brain chip?"

Xia Duo had read N-many novels about transmigrating with a brain or a chip, and after learning that Magic existed in the new world he was in at the beginning of his transmigration, he had also fantasized that he might possess a similar Golden Finger.

But unfortunately, his fantasy fell through.

Now, the brain chip has returned to his side in another form, and Xia Duo truly has an indescribable, complex feeling in his heart.

"There are still three Twisted Phantom Cores; perhaps I can give it a try?"

The more Xia Duo thought about it, the more feasible it seemed; the design of the subsequent systems for the Floating City was not yet finished, and if he had to design it all by himself, including the Mythallar, he feared it might not be completed in a year or two.

That is the time required if he abandoned all other research and focused solely on this; if he were delayed by anything else, it might take even longer.

If he could create a brain, it would certainly be able to greatly increase his research efficiency; perhaps with just one command issued, the brain would automatically complete it!

This is not impossible.

Setting aside the Mythallar for now, the most complex and time-consuming part of the design for the Floating City's subsequent systems is the engineering design, not the Spell design; it is more about the Application of existing technology rather than innovation.

In fact, even if it were innovation, a brain could handle it.

A brain is essentially "Tower Spirit plus"; it just lacks a self, not Wisdom. With Xia Duo's thinking mode, integrating existing Knowledge is actually a form of innovation.

And if it were the kind of innovation that goes "from nothing to something," Xia Duo himself might not be able to do it, so why demand that a brain be able to?

The more Xia Duo thought, the more heated his heart became; if it weren't already late at night, he would be dying to start trying right now.

The only problem now is whether there are enough Twisted Phantom Cores.

The Tower Spirit of the No. 1 Spire and the previous Communication Artifact Spirit are actually not essentially different, even if the former used four Twisted Phantom Cores while the latter only used one.

Xia Duo now has three Twisted Phantom Cores left, which can make three "Artifact Spirits"; adding the previous two, that makes five in total.

"A five-core chip?"

Xia Duo shook his head, then silently took out his Communication Magic Tool and began to contact Bulundesi to discuss purchasing more Spirit Quality.
