Chapter 1883: Dual-Tasking and Porting

"This—"

Diputatus paused, clearly focusing only on the Mythallar itself without considering the construction timeline; what Evereska needed most right now was a usable new Mythallar plan, not one that was theoretically more perfect but might actually be delayed for a long time.

Given that the adaptive framework had already demonstrated huge advantages, prioritizing the completion of a usable new Mythallar based on the adaptive framework was a relatively safe plan.

A Mythallar wasn't something that couldn't be changed after construction; it could continue to be updated later. Thinking of this, Diputatus couldn't help but doubt his own thoughts.

"I'm not sure, it was my lack of consideration."

"No, your proposal is very good, it just might not be suitable for our current situation. However, you have also reminded me; perhaps we can proceed simultaneously!"

Xia Duo did not completely reject Diputatus's proposal. The factor that currently had the greatest impact on the progress speed of the new Mythallar project was, to a large extent, the number of High Mages participating in the project.

Some experiments must be presided over by High Mages; this was a hard requirement. Currently, there were only Xia Duo and Saijisi in the project team, and the so-called lack of time and energy referred to this situation.

If the remaining High Mages from the Council of Elders could be drawn into the project, although it might not necessarily lead to a qualitative improvement in the project's research and development progress, the impact on the experimental speed would be very significant.

Now that Evereska Independent had become a foregone conclusion, the Elders should be able to spare time to cooperate in completing the current greatest overall situation for Evereska—

That is, the Mythallar.

"Proceed simultaneously?"

As the Elf who had spent the most time with Xia Duo during this period, Saijisi immediately grasped Xia Duo's intention, "Asuosi, are you thinking of having Ougesi and the others come over to help?"

"Yes, that is my idea!"

"I think it's feasible. Even if they aren't skilled in Myth Lock Design, using them purely as senior Mages would be good! I'll go find them!"

Saijisi immediately got excited, and after giving a few instructions to Diputatus, he hurried away.

……

Savage Valley Experimental Base.

With Saijisi temporarily absent, and considering that they might later simultaneously conduct basic research experiments for a new type of Mythallar based on the adaptive framework, Xia Duo now decisively directed the Mage team led by Diputatus to begin the second phase of the previously planned experiments.

This phase mainly involved testing the adaptation of various functions of the new Mythallar; if the test results were not ideal, then real-time adjustments would be needed.

The reason the design was so fast before was largely because various functional designs could be borrowed from other Mythallar cases and then applied to the adaptive framework Mythallar.

This was like electronic games on Earth, porting from one platform to another, such as from Android to iOS.

Although the game could run normally on the previous, more mature platform, after switching to a new platform, it still needed to be tested and improved.

The so-called adaptive framework was such a new platform; the so-called basic research was actually writing a development manual for the new platform to facilitate later people to continue development on this basis.

And what Xia Duo and the Diputatus team were doing now, without a development manual, was relying entirely on the platform creator's experience and guidance to port applications from another platform.

The prospects for basic research were certainly very broad, but this kind of research didn't "make money." To "make money," one still had to produce concrete things.

……

The first thing Xia Duo tested was the 【Mythallar - Reshape Magic Net】 function; it could be said that for any Mythallar, the core of the core was reshaping the Magic Net of an area.

One could do without an adaptive framework, without complex Permission Level settings, and without a preset Spell Pool, but without reshaping the Magic Net, a Mythallar could not be called a "Mythallar."

The so-called reshaping of the Magic Net, in short, was to change the macroscopic state of the Magic Net Strings in an area, making it a highly ordered independent individual.

But at the microscopic level, one had to keep the Magic Net as it was as much as possible.

That is to say, for those who could not grasp the macroscopic perspective of the Mythallar, the Mythallar seemed to not exist at all in their eyes, but it actually existed; this created an effect similar to a dimensionality reduction strike.

The adaptive framework created by Xia Duo already had some functions of reshaping the Magic Net. Of course, besides this, the adaptive framework also came with Protection, which was one of the reasons why the Evereska Council of Elders could be so easily persuaded by him.

The advantages of the adaptive framework were simply too obvious and there were too many of them. If they continued to build old-style Mythallars, Evereska would have almost no advantage in the field of Mythallars compared to other countries.

But if they built a new Mythallar based on the adaptive framework, Evereska would have a chance to overtake on a curve!

This could not be said to be Xia Duo inducing them; this was actually a win-win for him and Evereska.

……

The test experiment regarding the function of reshaping the Magic Net was conducted on the adaptive framework left over from the previous phase of the adaptive framework demonstration experiment.

This time, Xia Duo personally presided over the key steps of the Spellcasting, while other Mages assisted him in casting spells. However, until Saijisi arrived with Ougesi, the Fear Eye, and other Elders, he had not yet been able to complete the shaping of the Spell.

Having many Spellcasting elements was also one of the main characteristics that distinguished a Mythallar from ordinary Spells. Generally speaking, few Elven Mages would choose to create a Mythallar alone; instead, they would find people to cooperate with, or let followers or subordinates act as Spellcasting tools.

The current test experiment was the same; although it was not a complete Mythallar, it was unusually cumbersome. Due to the particularity of Elven Magic, the probability of errors by experiment participants was actually not high.

It was mainly because the cost of experimental failure was too great. For example, in the current test experiment for the Magic Net reshaping function, once it failed, even the adaptive framework would have to be recreated.

Not to mention the Magic Net tremors or even damage that might occur during the process, all of which would require time to soothe or repair.

This was actually the pain point of doing research. Outsiders were unaware and often focused on the most conspicuous moment, not knowing that the efforts put in before and after the experiment were far more than the experimental process itself!

As the Spell was completed, the Magic Net within the experimental base vibrated violently, eerie and frantic. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo didn't even need to wait for the results to appear; he could already foresee the impending failure.

"Saijisi! Help!"

Just as Xia Duo spoke, Saijisi had already unleashed his power and transformed into his Saint Form, beginning to soothe the rioting Magic Net. As for the other Elders, although they did not transform into Saint Forms, they also did their best to eliminate the impact of the experimental failure in their current state.

If they were to simultaneously conduct basic research experiments for a new type of Mythallar based on the adaptive framework, the experimental design could be handled by Xia Duo and Saijisi, but the experimental process would require at least two High Mages to participate.

One to preside over the Ritual Spell, and the other to do something like what Saijisi just did—the final Insurance.

And if there were insufficient senior Mages and Elite Mages in the basic research project team, then additional High Mages would be needed to replace them.

Fortunately, there were eleven High Mages in the Council of Elders in total, and the application research project team that Xia Duo and Saijisi were currently leading could also be handed over to them.

In this way, he and Saijisi could put more energy into experimental design, analyzing results, and improving experiments.

Similar to a project Supervisor.
