Chapter 1770: Unexpected Harvest, New Direction

Back then, it took Niya an entire day to calculate the Ascending Ring process, including double-checking and confirmation, yet now, just by asking a casual question while holding a Communication Magic Tool, she had an answer immediately?

Niya knew the answer to the question she chose herself, and it was precisely because she knew the answer that she felt astonished by this Spirit Cluster device that Xia Duo called "Wisdom."

It was actually correct!

And it was so fast!

If there could be a few more sets of such devices, then at least half the time could be saved in future Magic research!

If this had existed in the past, her achievements now would certainly be far more than this!

Although Niya was very willing to trust Xia Duo, upon encountering such an unprecedented and novel thing, she still couldn't help but feel suspicious, "Xia Duo, you knew the answer beforehand, right?"

The spell she just mentioned originally came from Xia Duo; if Xia Duo had also attempted Ascending Ring calculations on it, then telling her the answer now would naturally be this fast!

Regarding Niya's suspicion, Xia Duo did not answer directly, but instead asked her to try again, "Ask a question I don't know."

"A question you don't know?"

Niya tugged at the hair by her ear in some distress; she suddenly discovered that finding a question Xia Duo didn't know wasn't all that easy.

"Right, there is one question you definitely won't know!"

As if thinking of something, Niya took a pile of books out of her Dimensional Bag, found one of them, flipped through a few pages, and then read:

"Broad-spectrum oscillation 1-ΞwΔΣyΣΣ, 2-ΨΛxΞΔiΠ, 3-wΠΛxΞΔxΞΣyΨ, convergence type is Hadsen Xing, question: what is the location of the original oscillation point?"

She could guarantee that Xia Duo had absolutely never come into contact with this question before, and it was extremely complex; even if calculated on the spot, it was not something that could be solved in a short time.

"I don't know," Xia Duo said directly.

Standing here, his first reaction was indeed that he did not know the solution to this question, but he did know where the books Niya had taken out came from, and he also knew how this question should be solved.

It was just that this time he controlled himself and did not obtain information from the Wisdom instruction node information feedback; not only did he not know it at first reaction, but after pondering for a while, he still hadn't solved it.

"Did the instruction node tell you the answer?" Xia Duo asked.

"It did," Niya nodded.

"What is the answer, and did it answer correctly?" Xia Duo asked again.

"The answer is a certain point above the Dongxia Hai; it answered incorrectly."

"Answered incorrectly?"

Xia Duo immediately accessed the information feedback and learned a set of coordinates; a simple judgment revealed that it was not only unrelated to the Narrow Sea, but even unrelated to Netheril and the Northland, being instead a coordinate in the extreme south.

"That's not right; this question doesn't require induction or summarization, it's clearly a question with a definite answer, how could it be solved incorrectly?"

But Xia Duo also knew Niya wouldn't play such a joke on him; seeing that he was unwilling to believe it, Niya even spread the book open and placed it in front of him.

This page was a record from Giles Tower regarding an abnormal oscillation of the Northland Magic Web; it was a specific existing location, and the oscillation data came afterward.

Niya had simply reversed this process, telling Wisdom the oscillation data to deduce the location backward; theoretically, it could be calculated.

But in reality, perhaps because some key data was missing, the calculated result did not match the facts.

Xia Duo continued to query Wisdom's calculation process and found that it was indeed so; the oscillation data recorded by Giles Tower was incomplete, making it impossible to deduce the location solely through the data.

He even speculated that perhaps there were flaws in Giles Tower's monitoring methods, and perhaps he could even invent a new monitoring Spell based on Wisdom's calculation process!

Xia Duo told Niya his speculation; when Niya first heard that her question had problems, she was still a bit dismissive, but after she and Xia Duo analyzed Wisdom's calculation process together, she immediately understood where the problem lay.

She also thought of a new design idea for a monitoring Spell.

At this moment, even if this Spirit Cluster device named "Wisdom" had no other use, Niya felt that Xia Duo had made something remarkable!

"I'll change to another question! Let me think carefully."

Subsequently, Niya searched back and forth again in the pile of books she had just taken out; as she flipped through them, she suddenly had a new idea, so she opened several books at once, read out several different Magic Web oscillation records, and then asked Wisdom:

"Based on these Magic Web oscillation records, can the cause of the oscillation be found? What exactly is it?"

This question actually already involved true intelligent thinking; if it were the artificial intelligence from Xia Duo's hometown, it would first have to record a large amount of relevant data, then design specialized analysis algorithms, and only then could it make some inferential analysis on new records.

But the Wisdom that Xia Duo had put together now was different; it was more akin to a disassembled, strengthened self-consciousness, and even without a large number of pre-recorded cases, it could analyze specific problems based on the initial Ziliaoku.

So this time, how did Wisdom perform?

Xia Duo observed the expression on Niya's face and found that Niya seemed happy, yet also seemed a bit disappointed; could it be that the result was not ideal?

So he asked Niya, "How is it? Did it answer correctly this time?"

"Unfortunately, it didn't answer correctly this time either!"

Niya shook her head, handed another open book to Xia Duo, and explained: "The few Magic Web oscillation records I just mentioned were all records made by Giles Tower for different cycles of the same oscillation, and they even determined the cause based on these records and predicted the subsequent oscillations."

Niya's meaning was very clear; the previous one was a reverse deduction from a single incomplete record, which might not match the facts, but this time it was multiple records; although individual ones might not be complete, combined, they could yield a relatively clear result and could even be used to predict subsequent oscillations.

Xia Duo flipped through the book Niya handed over and found that she was indeed correct; this was actually the process by which Giles Tower discovered the Magic Web Background Fluctuation.

The cause of the oscillation was not a single-point oscillation, but an overall oscillation of the entire Magic Web; perhaps it could be said to be the inherent oscillation frequency of the Main Plane's Magic Web.

Looking back at Wisdom's thinking process, Xia Duo quickly discovered the fallacy; Wisdom's calculations only had seven basic thinking modes, and when facing some problems that required summarization and induction, it was very easy to "get stuck in a dead end."

The so-called "fixed mindset" referred to exactly this.

Xia Duo had always insisted on developing civilization, and initially, it was also because of this; individual wisdom is always limited, how could it compare to an entire civilization.

"No need to test for now; I have already found the direction for the next improvement."

There wasn't much of a problem with the architecture design of Wisdom itself; the key lay in the need to find more basic thinking modes so that Wisdom could possess wisdom closer to a person (Xia Duo) while maintaining speed.

Only by possessing human wisdom could it help him in the subsequent Myth Lock Design!
