Chapter 2389: The Million Great Arcanist

Of course, if Xia Duo were not present in the Spirit Thought Network, the participants' subconsciouses would still be able to interact to a certain degree and influence the expression of the subconscious, though the efficiency would not be very high.

Previously, when Xia Duo participated in the Technical Review Committee's Inspiration Headband rectification working group meetings, those experts in the field of the mind spent their days researching how to maintain a high level of interaction efficiency while keeping subconscious sharing at a relatively low level.

Xia Duo benefited greatly every time he attended a discussion meeting, but unfortunately, due to the Maze Defense Competition recently, he was notified that he did not need to go and that it would not be too late to go after the competition ended; the discussion meetings there would be archived for him to review.

……

Inside the practice base of Class 6, Batch 1493.

The drills of Class 6 quickly progressed from single-function Protective Maze Locks to multi-function Composite Maze Locks, and this entire drill process opened Xia Duo's eyes.

If he had still held some doubts about the strength of the upperclassmen at Chixin University before, he now had none at all; they were stronger than him, and not just by a little bit!

This trip to the Projection Plane could truly be called the most valuable and meaningful projection trip he had taken since he transmigrated!

And a situation like the Chixin Tribe here is likely very difficult to encounter again; first, one must hold a high position, and the tribe must face a major crisis, while at the same time having no interference from vested interests—it was almost a blank slate.

The only choice was to follow the development path provided by Xia Duo: a new magic system and a new guiding ideology.

After Xia Duo left the smuggling time, there had to be powerful external pressure or threats during that period to keep the tribe from deviating from the development route Xia Duo had preset; with all these conditions superimposed, this resulted in the 1,500-year-long, single-minded Red Heart Alliance.

……

Soon, the offensive and defensive drills for the Traditional Mythallar were completed, and Instructor Antike arranged for Luna and E'er's groups to continue with the Modern Mythallar—a new type of Mythallar also based on the Adaptive Mythallar and Netheril Magic.

The Modern Mythallar of the Red Heart Alliance developed very quickly, having long since surpassed the Adaptive Mythallar that Xia Duo had left behind; even the extraordinary upgrade he performed using his Saint Form before leaving now belonged to outdated technology.

However, since it was a drill, it started from the most basic Adaptive Mythallar.

Xia Duo was very familiar with this, as the initial Adaptive Mythallar was researched by him, although it was also thanks to the help of the Evereska Mages in 【Projection Plane: Evereska Independent】.

But the general ideas and design Principles were provided by him, and he participated in the design of the specific details throughout the entire process, so it was not inappropriate to say it was his own research.

Moreover, for such a new type of Mythallar that differed from the Traditional Elven Myth, Xia Duo could not help but feel some pride and self-satisfaction.

Since this plane was projected again, he had also checked a lot of information about the Adaptive Mythallar in the Chixin University Library, and almost every researcher had evaluations like "pioneering" or "epoch-making" for the Adaptive Mythallar.

Of course, from the perspective of the current Projection Plane today, the Adaptive Mythallar still had many flaws; for example, regarding the ability to alleviate the extreme Mythallar environment outside, Xia Duo had only designed a Level 1 Pressure Gradient previously.

In layman's terms, once the external Mythallar environment became too extreme, the entire Adaptive Mythallar would collapse.

But now, the Adaptive Mythallar had long since developed multi-level Pressure Gradients; the outermost layer would automatically connect with the external Magic Web environment, making it almost the same as the external environment, and then gradually moderate the differences inward until the innermost layer was consistent with the Northland Magic Web environment.

The most brilliant part was that in recent years, some researchers had pointed out that the Magic Web environment in the Northland and even the entire Main Plane had long since ceased to be in its original state due to various reasons (Ancient Super-Large Maze Locks, Private Domain Transformation, wars, etc.).

Even the manifestation of the Magic Web itself in the Main Plane was affected by the nature of the Main Plane itself; if one could find the original state in the conceptual sense of the Magic Web, that would be the most suitable for the innermost layer of the Adaptive Mythallar!

Under this grand prospect, Magic Web Background Fluctuation was also a research field deeply concerned by relevant researchers, and some researchers asserted that the original Magic Web state must be sought within Magic Web Background Fluctuation.

Now, for many of the Red Heart Alliance's researches, Xia Duo could only understand a rough direction and significance; he could no longer understand many of the specific details.

Just like when he was in his hometown, he might have been able to speak eloquently about many cutting-edge researches when talking to others, but when it came to his own research, he might not even be able to understand the relevant papers.

It can only be said that the current research on Magic by Netheril in the Main Plane was still too superficial, far less profound than that of the Red Heart Alliance; to describe it in one sentence:

Netheril in the Main Plane had only touched the surface of Magic, while the Red Heart Alliance had already recognized the essence of Magic and was still progressing rapidly.

If one looked only at the number of individual Great Arcanists, the contrast between the two was even more obvious, although there was no such term as "Great Arcanist" here in the Red Heart Alliance.

But if one used Netheril's evaluation criteria, every college student in the Red Heart Alliance was a Great Arcanist after graduation; counting by the Mythallar Design Class 4 of the 1503 batch where Xia Duo was currently, a class had at least 20 people, and at most 30 or 40.

A single class had more than all the Great Arcanists on the surface of Netheril in the Main Plane combined; even if the Seven Towers were hiding some, there could not be many.

They absolutely could not compare to the batch cultivation of the mature education system here in the Red Heart Alliance.

The total population of the current Red Heart Alliance (including the original Demon Descendant Chixin Tribe and Illefarn) was around 50 million.

Even if the proportion of college students among them was only one percent, combined with such a relatively large (compared to Netheril) total population, there were at least 500,000 of them.

If this were placed in the Main Plane, it would be absolutely unimaginable.

Netheril and the Red Heart Alliance, whether in terms of population size or the number of high-quality Spellcasters, were not on the same order of magnitude.

Even in terms of population growth rate, the Elves, who gave birth freely, were more rapid than humans; of course, the Chixin Tribe only perfectly matched the birth encouragement policy formulated by Xia Duo during the early stages of development.

Later, it was gradually adjusted to the current age of 20 for marriage and childbearing, but most would choose to marry and have children after graduating from university or college at the age of 50.

Like Maruente, who married Beth and had a daughter, Anna, while working after graduating from college, and only went to serve afterward; if following Maruente's original plan, he was prepared to have another child after returning to his hometown when his service period ended.

Afterward, if he had the idea, he could have more; generally speaking, every Elf in the Red Heart Alliance would have at least two children, and many had far more—it was not rare to have one every dozen years or so.

Otherwise, it would not have taken only 1,500 years to develop the total population to over 50 million.

It can be said that the current Red Heart Alliance was already a modern society with extremely complex social division of labor, and the development of the Red Heart Alliance had also led to significant progress for the Evereska Alliance.

Although it still could not compare to the Red Heart Alliance, it was far stronger than their counterparts in the Main Plane.

It is foreseeable that once Xia Duo's Daxia Territory was fully developed in the Main Plane, it would inevitably drive other countries and organizations in the Main Plane to accelerate their development.
