Chapter 2526: The First Plenary Session of the Seventon Council

————Will make up for it tomorrow~~

However, Xia Duo had long since had experience operating Daiwei Strings; the difficulty of operating Arcane Strings was no higher than that. The difference was merely that the former required avoiding the disintegration of the Daiwei String during operation, while the latter required more focus on preventing the Arcane String from being assimilated by the Magic Net.

As long as one did not act recklessly and followed normal design concepts and operational standards, it would not be easy to make an Arcane String disintegrate even if one wanted to. The reason for being cautious was more a continuation of the habits formed from previously operating Daiwei Strings.

Very quickly, Xia Duo constructed a most basic Curved Element within the Constraint Field in the Laboratory. The faint blue glow originally emitted by the Arcane String body suddenly gained some different colors, as if covered by a soft-focus filter.

By comparison, the latter was the true Magic Aura that could only be seen with Magic Vision, while the former was merely the natural color of the Daiwei String visible to the naked eye.

A single element, of course, could not yet be called calculation. Xia Duo continued to add Arcane Strings, and soon they formed an Element Unit. Although it could not produce a significant interference with the real world, it did indeed have practical magical significance.

It could be roughly considered a Trick that only emitted a faint Magic Aura.

But from the perspective of a Magic Computer, this was actually a basic Element Conversion Unit, and conversion, of course, was calculation.

At this step, Xia Duo should have continued to create all the basic Element Conversion Units, and then, on that basis, continue to create Element Units that could truly be called "Basic Calculation Units."

Proposals needed to be submitted to the Speaker after the meeting. Proposals from Archmages were treated with great caution, while those from lords required joint submission, what was known as seconding. Even before completing the mid-term goals, he would not completely ignore it; he would still continue to research it, though of course, it was impossible for it to remain the primary focus of his efforts as it was now.

The only negative attribute of the Magic Computer that Xia Shao could accept was Elemental Energy radiation, because the damage it caused to the computer body itself was small, and it required long-term operation to produce damage sufficient to affect the computer's operation.

But the larger the scale of the computer, the stronger the Elemental Energy radiation it produced, and its impact on the real world was difficult to ignore.

……

Of course, letting the Magic Computer only produce Elemental Energy radiation had another advantage: it could produce a more universal solution, rather than a separate solution for every type of Magic Effect produced during operation.

After thinking it over, Xia Shao could not think of any good solution.

"This is the meeting agenda sent by the First Tower. There is a copy for you, too. It's on the table. Take a look to see if there is anything that needs to be added. It must be submitted to Badijiaer before the meeting; otherwise, it will not be discussed at the meeting."

Thus, gathering numerous elements to form a Magic Computer, one could imagine that the impact on the real world could not possibly be completely ignored.

In other words, in the future, if one wanted to use a Magic Computer, it would highly likely be necessary to add some extra auxiliary devices to eliminate the impact of Elemental Energy radiation on reality.

This created a contradiction: the Magic Computer needed to distort A, but the result produced by distorting A was to turn itself into distortion B. Under such circumstances, whether the Magic Computer could be realized was a question.

"Sigh! Why must you make it so difficult for me!"

But he realized a problem: if this problem could not be solved, even if a Magic Computer could be built, it might not be able to operate for a long time.

And the distortion of Magic Net Strings and the production of Magic Effects were actually two sides of the same coin. To suppress the appearance of Magic Effects, it was almost inevitable that one would need to intervene in the Magic Net Strings, which was also distortion.

"The fixed process is fine. Let me first see what topics will actually be discussed at this meeting."

Xia Shao buried himself in the Laboratory for two full days, not even attending the Sleep Ceremony on the evening of the Midsummer Festival. It was not until Niya notified him that Badijiaer had convened the first Seventon Council under the New Covenant that he walked out of the Laboratory, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

If he could, he would love to soak in the Laboratory all day and night to get the Basic Calculation Unit done as soon as possible, and now he had even changed his previous thoughts.

To avoid the Magic Effects produced during the operation of the Magic Computer from interfering with the computer itself, one must either strengthen the computer body to ignore those Magic Effects, or find a way to transfer or avoid those Magic Effects.

These two methods could be carried out simultaneously, or even by excluding those elements that might cause damage during operation at the design stage, or if they truly could not be excluded, converting them into elements with lower damage, such as Element Release.

A motion, of course, was a topic proposing the need to achieve a certain goal. Motions proposed by Archmages could go directly into the statement and debate stage, while those proposed by lords required a certain number of seconds or the support of one Archmage to enter the main topic.

"Still thought about it too simply! It seems the design difficulty of the Magic Computer does not lie in the calculation unit itself, but in how to avoid the Magic Effects produced during the operation of the Magic Computer from interfering with the computer itself!"

This did align with Xia Shao's initial judgment. Using Mithril to make some Basic Calculation Units might be feasible, but to really use it to make chips for a computer, no one could likely afford such high costs.

Arriving at the Study, Xia Shao noticed Niya was engrossed in reading a document. She only reacted when he walked close, then explained:

The reason for this lay in the essence of magic. The most intuitive essence of magic was the distortion of Magic Net Strings. Even if only a single Magic Net String was distorted, unable to cause any impact on the real world, it could still be considered a Single Element Spell!

Or perhaps place the computer in an environment where one did not care about it being destroyed, allowing the user to use it remotely, the so-called "out of sight, out of mind."

If it were only Magic Effects like Element Release (the impact of a spell on reality), that would be easy to solve. If it were a Magic Effect sufficient to destroy the Magic Computer body, wouldn't that mean one would have to rebuild a new one after every use?

Xia Shao sat down next to Niya and picked up another document on the tea table beside them. The content was not much; the beginning reiterated the meeting principles of the plenary session, which were mostly motion, seconding, statement of topics, debate, voting, and announcement of results.

If it were converted into a Mythallar Component and made with real Magic Net Strings, then the impact of Elemental Energy radiation on the computer body could be completely ignored.

The Magic Computer was simply too fun. This was a brand-new Domain, and it almost made him find the curiosity and longing he had when he first learned magic.

In this way, Xia Shao could almost imagine the scene of the Magic Computer operating in the future: it would be a super radiation source constantly radiating Elemental Energy outward!

Under such circumstances, if one still used Energy-Conducting Materials like Mithril, not only would one need to consider the Elemental Transmutation reaction caused by long-term operation, but the Elemental Energy radiated by the material itself would also cause the service life of the material itself to drop again.
