Chapter 2481: Small Mythallar, Waiting for All Things to be Done

For a Mythallar with material nodes, the Mythallar body and the material nodes achieve each other; although the New Floating City Mythallar that Xia Duo just completed can exist independently, it is only considered a complete entity once the material nodes are added.

And the material nodes Xia Duo prepared are not just those twelve massive Adamantine spheres; those are merely the twelve main nodes, and there are many more sub-nodes besides.

Because Xia Duo adopted a distributed material node design, theoretically, the more nodes there are, the more stable it is, but with a larger number of nodes, one must also consider security issues beyond stability, such as the increased risk of intrusion.

Therefore, some trade-offs are still necessary; Xia Duo uses the twelve Adamantine spheres as main nodes more as "traction" anchors for the Mythallar, while the sub-nodes focus more on functional supplementation.

Similar to the node selection for Chang'an City, the sub-nodes Xia Duo chose for the New Floating City are also Mythallar; the reason he did not use Mythallar for the main nodes is that Adamantine has higher stability, and if he had had this much Adamantine when building Chang'an City, he would have prioritized Adamantine as well.

Gold is also possible, but the elemental composition of gold has not yet been decrypted, making it impossible to obtain in large quantities; furthermore, gold has a soft texture, and once it loses its Magic protection, even an ordinary person could destroy it.

At the moment, after showing the Adamantine spheres to everyone, Xia Duo cast the Suspension spell on those twelve Adamantine spheres, which weighed up to ten thousand tons; although gravity in the Blue Crystal Plane is negligible, inertia still exists.

Suspension (a series of Transmutation spells including Mage Hand and Flight) can reconstruct the gravity and inertia of matter, and Xia Duo pushed them into the coverage area of the New City Mythallar with almost no effort.

Next, he operated the Mythallar to automatically lock onto those twelve Adamantine spheres, and as those twelve dark blue spheres gradually submerged into the water body, the nodes were stably linked.

After that, Xia Duo did not need to do it himself; it was more akin to the synchronization process of a Magic Item, where the Mythallar would gradually transform its form, becoming a Mythallar with material nodes in the process.

As for the sub-nodes, Xia Duo had long been prepared, but he only prepared four football-sized small spheres glowing with dazzling Magic Aura; these are miniaturized Mythallar, and they could be made even smaller, but the craftsmanship would be even more complex.

Considering the time, Xia Duo only produced these.

This is technology from the Red Heart Alliance, but this does not mean that the Mythallar of the Main Plane is useless; the two sides have taken two completely different paths.

The Main Plane, limited by the stability of Daiwei String materials, uses multiple Arcane Fire Components to cycle "ignition" in sequence to achieve an experience approximating the continuous output of a complete Arcane Fire.

As for the Red Heart Alliance, they took the path of improving material properties; by the era when Xia Duo entered for the second time, Daiwei String materials had long been able to meet the requirements for continuous output from a single Arcane Fire Component.

The power of a single Arcane Fire Component is limited, roughly equivalent to the maximum power of a Great Arcanist's Arcane Fire; the Main Plane's 【Spherical Radial Configuration】 Mythallar, with the support of more advanced Daiwei String materials, can achieve 256 times the power output of a single Arcane Fire Component.

If switched to a single Arcane Fire Component, one might be able to obtain the same output power by stacking quantity, but after all, it was not designed for such coordinated output from the beginning, so the 【Spherical Radial Configuration】 Mythallar still has its uses.

As for Xia Duo now, a Mythallar using a single Arcane Fire Component is already enough, not to mention that he also has Mythallar Arcane Fire Components constructed from true Magic Net Strings; he will not have higher energy demands for quite some time.

The four single Arcane Fire Mythallar were taken out in front of everyone from the Tower of Time, only this time Xia Duo did not demonstrate or introduce anything, but directly pushed them into the coverage area of the Mythallar.

Afterward, they were automatically locked by the Mythallar as four of its foundations; if there is a need later, more Mythallar sub-nodes can be added.

It is just that Xia Duo feels that, given the current development speed of Daxia Territory, they probably won't need that much energy for a very long time.

Or rather, given the current development status of the Tower of Time, using such a high-spec Floating City is truly a bit too advanced.

But if one clearly has the conditions to use it, yet chooses not to, that would be too foolish; Xia Duo wishes he could immediately apply all the new technologies and new theories brought back from the Red Heart Alliance to the Territory and the Tower of Time.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the problem of taking steps too large and tearing one's crotch; the development speed of the Tower of Time is already fast enough compared to other Mage Tower organizations in Netheril, and in his plan, he still needs to start with education.

First, popularize the primary and junior high school education of the Red Heart Alliance in the Territory, and in this process, related industries can also be introduced bit by bit according to the actual development status of the Territory.

There is no obvious difference in the Wisdom of humans and Elves; what Elves can learn, humans can also learn, not to mention that it is under the same system, so there is no problem with introducing it.

The Red Heart Alliance has three years of primary school, three years of junior high school, and three years of high school; if one does not get stuck on the one-year term and does not conduct streaming, almost everyone is an Arcanist Seed upon graduating from high school.

This progress is already very close to the current Tower of Time, except that the current Tower of Time only has relatively complete three-year Apprentice education, similar to the Red Heart Alliance's primary school + junior high school.

For new Mages after their Apprenticeship, because the number is still small, there are only study classes outside of work for the time being, and no systematic education that is completely off-the-job.

Xia Duo had previously been having a headache over this problem; now with the experience of the Red Heart Alliance, he can directly take the junior and high school courses from there to use.

Of course, at the current time of high-speed development of the Tower of Time, full-time study is still unnecessary; when the population is larger and the development level is higher in the future, full-time study for new Mages who have graduated from the Apprentice period will also be an inevitability.

This is somewhat similar to the early development of Xia Duo's hometown, where one could be employed directly after graduating from primary school, and later it gradually changed to graduating from junior high school, high school, and even university.

This is gradually formed according to the degree of social development and the level of education of the citizens; of course, there is also the consideration of alleviating the employment pressure of the educated.

Currently, the Tower of Time can almost be called "waiting for all things to be done," and the demand for Spellcasters who have received systematic education is almost endless; there is no need to consider the problem of talent surplus for the time being.

……

Three days later, there was still no news from Seventon, and Xia Duo again followed the plan and brought the Spellcaster team to the Blue Crystal Plane.

This time, the second phase of the new city construction is being carried out, mainly the construction of the main body of the Floating City; the Spellcasting difficulty of this step is far less than the first phase of the project, and Xia Duo could do it alone without any problems.

The reason he still called people is, on one hand, that calling people can indeed reduce Xia Duo's own workload, and on the other hand, it is for the care and cultivation of the members of the Tower of Time.

Not only in terms of Coordinated Casting, but also on the psychological level of the members, participating in the construction of the Floating City can greatly enhance the members' identification with what they have learned and their sense of belonging to the Tower of Time.
