Chapter 2413: Project Completion and Two Pieces of Good News

After learning the true cause of the earthquake and the news that the Evereska Alliance had ultimately failed to repair the Dragon Madness Mythallar, Xia Duo felt much more at ease.

Sluwen's instigation of border conflicts was perhaps a cover for the repair experiments in the far north; now that the repair had failed, it was highly probable that Sluwen would not continue to escalate the conflict.

Subsequent developments were much as Xia Duo had anticipated: first, Jielunsita and Sluwen ceased mobilization, and soon after, things quieted down at the border.

……

Five days later, the Negative Energy Research Institute inspected the experimental environment in all aspects, confirming there were no issues before resuming work.

Meanwhile, the Negative Energy Encryption Project finally reached the application experiment stage that Xia Duo had long been looking forward to; reaching this point could essentially be considered the edge of success.

This stage mainly involved incorporating the recently breakthrough-achieved Negative Energy Directed Expression into the Negative Energy Encryption Scheme that had been proposed long ago, then testing and improving it.

This stage was also the one where the Spirit Thought Network could be most effective, and Xia Duo played a key role in it; by this time, he had surpassed Lu Ai Tong to become the true person in charge of the project team's Spirit Thought Network.

Such a status was undoubtedly very convenient for him, as he wanted to obtain the Negative Energy Encryption Technology as soon as possible. From the moment this stage of experiments began, he almost fully utilized his ability to parse conscious information, doing his best to bring together the clever ideas and inspirations of the project team members.

His actions did not arouse suspicion from other members of the project team, generally Lu Ai Tong, as Xia Duo had been in the project team for over ten years and had long since gained the trust of all members; no one would suspect he had ulterior motives.

Otherwise, he was actually very interested in Mentor Tuto's research; although he did not understand it very well, he knew that once Mentor Tuto's research made a breakthrough, it could make Mythallar updates extremely simple.

There was no need to notify the Negative Energy Research Institute; it was estimated that news was already flying everywhere in the institute. After sending a Sending to Lei Wen, Xia Duo sent a group message to his Primary School classmates.

After all, during his time at the Red Heart Primary School, Ling Si had gotten along with him quite well; even if he didn't see her as a daughter, there was no problem treating her as a friend.

【Xiaoxiang App search "Spring Gift" for new users to receive 500 book coins, old users receive 200 book coins】 Subsequently, excited voices kept ringing out in the Laboratory, and in the Anna Network, the feeling of excitement instantly overwhelmed all other information, becoming the largest traffic in the Anna Network.

Afterward, he contacted his Primary School mentor, Tuto, and shared this good news with him. Previously, Tuto had invited Xia Duo to join his personal laboratory, but Xia Duo considered that joining Tuto's laboratory would be equivalent to leaving the Research Sequence.

Not long ago, the Evereska Alliance attempted to repair the Dragon Madness Mythallar and failed, but the Red Heart Alliance, which had also been paying long-term attention to the Dragon Madness Mythallar, gained something from the other side's failure.

Xia Duo told Mentor Tuto the good news from his project team, not expecting to receive a piece of good news in return from Mentor Tuto—

Currently, the Alliance's most advanced technology could perform phased real-time updates for Small Mythallars, but Large Mythallars were too complex, and often a single move would affect the whole body, making it very difficult to change the Mythallar itself.

Currently, several top teams in the Red Heart Alliance were attempting real-time update experiments for Large Mythallars, with inspiration drawn from the Dragon Madness Mythallar. Of course, this included Xia Duo; he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, whether for himself or for the Red Heart Alliance.

Information streams flowed back and forth in the Anna Network, and the Mythallar data center was also updating at every moment. Not knowing how much time had passed, an incomparably excited voice suddenly rang out in the air of the Laboratory:

Mentor Lei Wen finished saying this while suppressing his excitement and quickly left the Laboratory; as the person in charge of the project team, he had more important things to do at this moment.

Plus, the information coordination of the Anna Network relied heavily on the coordinator's intuition, and it was a recognized fact that Xia Duo's Perception ability was extraordinary; now that he was performing slightly better, it was absolutely not a problem.

"Mentor Lei Wen, the data perfectly matches expectations; we have finally completed the breakthrough of this technology!"

One month later, Negative Energy Encryption Laboratory.

As for other friends, as Xia Duo himself, his friends here were mostly just classmates and mentors from his Primary School days, as well as these colleagues from the Negative Energy Research Institute.

Besides, a truly practical scheme was by no means just a presentation of possibility; it must possess a certain practical value.

The current stage of Mythallar updates was more similar to rebuilding a new Mythallar in terms of operation, while the new technology Mentor Tuto was researching allowed for real-time updates—updating whatever was needed, similar to software hot-patching on Earth.

Originally in the past, once a Mythallar was built, there would be no more changes; afterwards, it usually only required maintenance and rarely had updates. But with the development of Magic in the Red Heart Alliance to this day, Mythallar updates were no longer a rare occurrence.

And such research was actually far from being conducted by Mentor Tuto alone; there were many other teams also making efforts in this area, but unfortunately, Xia Duo had not yet heard of any team achieving a qualitative breakthrough.

"Ka Er, you go prepare the thesis! As for the rest, you can share this good news with your family and friends."

Mythallar updates could be said to be the most vulnerable moments for a Mythallar; every time the Red Heart Alliance updated a Mythallar, the various preparations made were like preparing for an all-out war, and in fact, that was indeed the case.

In layman's terms, it meant—it could not just be feasible in a laboratory environment; it must also be workable in a practical environment.

Although this project only had integration and optimization work left at the end, it was not smooth sailing in practice. The previous Negative Energy Encryption Scheme was merely a theoretically feasible scheme.

From this, one could see how profound the significance of Mentor Tuto's research was.

In fact, his ulterior motives completely transcended this space-time and did not conflict with the project team's goals and beliefs at all.

Now the project team was just integrating and optimizing the previous results; at this stage, no one would suspect that the project progress was too fast; on the contrary, they would complain it was too slow, unable to catch up with this year's Red Heart Magic Technology Progress Award!

Additionally, there was another point that was the reason Xia Duo dared to express himself so boldly: the Negative Energy Encryption Project had already reached its end, and the most difficult obstacles had already been overcome (Negative Energy Randomness Directed Expression + Negative Energy Encryption Scheme; the latter was already basically completed before Xia Duo joined the project team).

……

Xia Duo only came to this era over ten years ago, and he did not want to get too involved with Maruente's original social connections, but after hesitating for a moment, he still sent a message to Maruente's daughter, Ling Si.

Whether it could actually work, and whether the directed expression of negative energy toward the Water Element in extreme environments could adapt, these were all things that needed to be answered through a large number of experiments.

In order to catch up with this year's grand award, the project team only verified the feasibility of Mythallar encryption; other domains were still waiting for further verification.
