Chapter 2548: Bulletin Board System
Linshui Village.
Xia Duo returned after leaving; this time, he did not go to see or summon anyone in the Territory, but instead focused on inspecting the locations for the bulletin boards, as putting them all over the streets was definitely not an option.
For a possibility that was not yet certain, he really could not go all-in; he had to verify it a few times first. In this situation, the choice of bulletin board locations still prioritized the actual needs of the Territory.
Currently, the Territory does have bulletin boards; there is one in front of the Government Hall, mainly for posting official notices, such as the field allocation plan, road maintenance notices for certain areas, important lists of rewards and punishments, and so on.
Besides the one in front of the Government Hall, there is also a bulletin board next to the Zhengqiche Zhantai north of the Code Plaza. The information is basically synchronized with the Government Hall, mainly to make it convenient for people traveling between the north and south to understand the Territory's developments.
As for the bulletin boards in the Savile Territory, although the integration process between the two places has begun, the bulletin information from the south has not been fully synchronized; it is still mostly information within the scope of the Savile Territory.
At present, there are only three bulletin boards, which is clearly not enough. Xia Duo has no confidence that he will happen to predict those three bulletin boards when performing Prophecy, so more need to be built!
"Each village can build one. The Altar Square is right next to the Government Hall, so that can be saved, but one can be built at the Code Plaza, and every tavern has people coming and going, so one needs to be built at the entrance as well."
Xia Duo shuttled through the Territory while calculating in his heart where the first batch of new bulletin boards could be built. At the same time, he flew into the air to adjust the angles, wanting the bulletin boards to appear as much as possible in any prophetic vision involving the Territory.
After planning everything, Xia Shao sent instructions to Laidun and Kaide respectively. The latter is the Territory's Administrator; the matter of building new bulletin boards could not bypass him, while the former is the Chief Official of the Territory's Logistics Department and belongs to the person who directly operates this matter.
Xia Shao approved of Laidun's idea and did not mention the copier again. It would not be too late to configure office equipment such as copiers for them after a stable training and elimination mechanism for the civil service team is formed in the future.
The Gonggao Toufang Magic Artifact has a built-in search link function for that Xianshi Spell, which can achieve real-time modification of displayed information within a specific range.
Next is to have a good rest and then verify the prophecy results. Furthermore, to make it convenient for the announcers to use, Xia Shao thoughtfully built a function into the Gonggao Toufang Magic Artifact to convert Netheril text into encrypted text; the announcer only needs to input Netheril text, and it can be automatically converted into encrypted text that looks like meaningless symbols.
At the very least, it needs to be able to display specified information visible to the naked eye.
……
But there is one point to note: one must ensure that the announcers post new messages regularly, so that the infinite possibilities of the future can be constrained to the time line where "the bulletin board exists."
Of course, Xia Shao was not prepared to bring the Tower of Time's copier to the Territory for use for the time being. He had once had this idea, but it was rejected by Laidun.
After constanting the bulletin Magic on all seventy or so newly built bulletin boards, Xia Shao felt he was almost exhausted, but he still insisted on coming to Jieyin's studio in the Territory to hand the Gonggao Toufang Magic Artifact to his first student.
After sighing slightly about the difficulty of the Territory's development, Xia Shao began to constant Magic for the bulletin boards; as long as there are no accidents in the Territory, these Spells should last long enough.
For the current Territory Logistics Department, just a few bulletin boards do not even count as a task at all. The bulletin boards Xia Shao saw when he came over even had some exquisite decorative patterns carved on the frames and pillars.
……
……
There is some difficulty in this. To make it convenient, Xia Shao planned to design a Magic Item that could quickly cast specified information onto the bulletin boards, and in order to reduce his own interference with the prophecy, he also planned to find someone to entrust this Magic Artifact to.
In addition, the multiple bulletin boards within the Territory will form a Spell-linked network, sharing Protection capabilities while also projecting encrypted text over the Territory.
At the very beginning of the experiment, there is no need to transmit information that only he understands; he can completely start by using conventional information to verify feasibility. As for what kind of conventional information, he can let the announcer holding the Magic Artifact decide for themselves.
As for now, Xia Shao is prepared to first predict the near-future situation of the Territory to verify the feasibility of the bulletin board system, and only then will he attempt to "bug" the prophecy.
……
Of course, as long as the bulletin board system can appear in the prophetic vision, in a sense, it can be considered a successful "bug," just with varying degrees of severity.
……
If there is a need in the future, a more stable bulletin system can be redesigned.
After making the main body of the Gonggao Toufang Magic Artifact in the Laboratory, Xia Shao came to the Territory again. At this time, a full day had passed since he instructed Laidun and Kaide to build the new bulletin boards.
Inside the Laboratory, Xia Shao quickly drew an Arcane Geometry Diagram of a Protective Spell used in the past to protect books from pests and fire on paper, as the foundation for the bulletin board system.
Laidun's reason for refusal was also very simple: copying official documents is a kind of training. With the Territory developing rapidly, the administrative staff team is constantly expanding, and they need this kind of training.
And those various notices that were on the bulletin board in front of the Government Hall also exist on the newly built bulletin boards. In the Government Hall where there is no copier, this might consume more time.
This counts as artificially interfering with the future time line. It sounds high-end at first glance, but the essence of the infinite possibilities of the future is various different choices. As long as it is determined that a certain choice can be stable and continuous, it is actually constraining a certain possibility.
Generally speaking, Protective Spells tend to be invisible unless necessary, but the bulletin board system is for the convenience of Prophecy to obtain information, so it needs to add more layers of information display effects.
Most of these encrypted texts were drawn by Xia Shao casually. To a certain extent, they can be said to conform to Nature, with elegant strokes. Projected in the air, they merge with the drifting clouds like Cloud Pattern and do not appear incongruous.
"Let's design it based on Protective Spells; it just so happens that it can also form protection for the bulletin boards."
After finishing these, Xia Shao returned to the Floating City. Next, he wants to design a bulletin board system. The physical bulletin boards are mainly for the Territory's own use, and this Magic bulletin board system based on the bulletin board entities is the main body for leaving messages to the past.
And those encrypted texts will be displayed in real-time on the Protective Spell of the bulletin board. The specific manifestation is the visible, shimmering light on the surface of the bulletin board.
Of course, what Xia Shao used here is not the protection capability of that Spell, but the information display capability derived from it; it is actually being used as a display screen.
These lights will form encrypted texts that constantly flow on the surface of the bulletin board. Anyone who sees the bulletin board will not ignore these flowing light texts.
After about a day, Xia Shao completed the design of the bulletin board system. The main body of this system is a Gonggao Toufang Magic Artifact, and in addition, there is a Protective Spell cast on the physical bulletin boards.
