Chapter 2551: Fractal Scheme

Upgrading the new Magic Artifact poses no problem for Xia Duo; the only thing to consider is the limited area that can be projected above the Territory, or rather, the limited perspective of the fleeting glimpse provided by the Prophecy spell.

The information display must be made into a state similar to a hologram, meaning any local area contains the complete information Xia Duo wishes to convey.

Under these circumstances, the size of the encrypted text itself is actually meaningless, as it does not affect the final solution.

To achieve such an effect, Xia Duo has roughly two schemes. One is a hologram, but this requires detailed analysis of the projected part during the prophecy, which obviously contradicts the fleeting nature of the prophecy.

Perhaps he could create a holographic projection, but using it here would not serve much of a positive purpose.

The other scheme is similar to a fractal, using the graphic itself to express all the information; there are solutions for the large and solutions for the small, and no matter what level is seen in a fleeting glimpse, it does not affect the final information solution.

In other words, Xia Duo's new Magic Artifact does not need to convert the Cloud Pattern encryption method, but rather directly convert the Netherese text information into a Fractal Diagram, and it must be possible to reverse-engineer all necessary information from the Fractal Diagram.

This is by no means an easy task.

The first step is already stuck: how to convert specific text information into fractal features. Xia Duo can say with certainty that his understanding of mathematics exceeds that of the vast majority of people on the Main Plane, but this level of understanding does not allow him to complete the current work smoothly.

His knowledge of fractals is more like hearsay and fragmented information; he has never specifically studied or researched the relevant field. He only knows that it is theoretically feasible, but how to do it specifically has stumped him.

"Sigh—"

Of course, this fractal scheme is just the best scheme I can think of, not the only one. It is nothing more than increasing the capacity of the public information projection; the clever have clever ways, and the clumsy have clumsy ways.

It is truly a vast white expanse; even with the Cloud Pattern Duke projected by the spell, it appears exceptionally incomplete, with most of the information obscured by wind and snow.

If you want to see further, take care of the next few years first, and then conduct Prophecy Rituals regularly. The bug of infinite Prophecy spell looping does not work, but regular looping is definitely no problem.

Once the requirements are lowered, upgrading the public projection Magic Artifact, which already has a formed template, is a piece of cake. Xia Duo quickly made a new one, handed it to Jieyin, and took back the original one.

It just cannot achieve infinite stacking. (Prophesying the information that one's future self will prophesy, an infinite loop, until prophesying an infinitely distant future.)

When checking the Cloud Pattern Duke, Niya lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Uncle Cloud Pattern Duke, I have really troubled you lately."

As long as the size and density of the projected Cloud Pattern are adjusted slightly, and restrictions are added—information cannot be erased, only added to—it is fine, as what he wants to see are just the major events of the coming year.

Moreover, conducting Prophecy Rituals regularly will also form new constraints on the future, meaning the future in which the public projection system is prophesied also involves him regularly prophesying the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo thought of the fractal scheme again, but unfortunately, it is not that the scheme is impossible, but that he, Xia, lacks the ability to complete this scheme.

Even if it cannot be excluded, at worst, it can all be treated as normal information; since it was obtained through prophecy, it will always need to be verified against reality a few more times.

But the few pieces of information that remain, even if still incomplete, are not difficult to distinguish.

Xia Duo has gone through this set of procedures many times and is quite familiar with it. Now, he can skillfully skip the future scenes unrelated to the Territory and the public projection system, focusing on what he wants to see.

Thus, Xia Duo returned to the Detection Laboratory in the Floating City Research Zone to conduct the next prophecy.

Had he known this, it would have been better to project Netherese text directly. Now, having to solve incomplete encrypted text—is this not making things difficult for me, Xia?

Suddenly mentioning Aipusi, Niya's expression could not help but become somewhat dazed. She did not know since when she had become accustomed to days without her father.

There was only a scene filled with wind and snow; if not for the projected Cloud Pattern Duke, Xia Duo would not even have recognized it as his own Territory.

Floating City, Labyrinth Laboratory.

Now, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Cloud Pattern encryption rules were designed by Xia Duo himself. Now it is nothing more than having a few more solutions; by excluding some obviously impossible ones, the original information can mostly be solved.

The preparation work was much the same as the last time, only with an extra step of checking the status of the Time Anchoring altar, as he had already used it for several Prophecy Rituals before this.

Now that she has become a Great Arcanist, even if she still cannot lift the curse, she should at least go to see him. Niya summoned the auxiliary spellcasting team from when Xia Duo built the New Floating City and checked their practice progress one by one.

However, at this moment, she also understood why Aibike suddenly mentioned her father; after all, her father was not truly dead, but forced to hide in a Stasis Chamber because the curse was difficult to resolve.

Because this scheme was improved by Xia Duo based on the one she designed, Niya had just finished the Communication Mythallar project, and her relevant understanding was at its peak; it was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot and study the improved scheme Xia Duo had brought out.

As long as his future self also "updates" the major events prophesied into the public projection system and passes them back to the him who is prophesying in the present, it can be considered stacked prophecy to a certain extent.

Now, she finally fully understood Xia Duo's scheme. She would study the rest slowly in the future. The most important thing right now is to complete the Mythallar construction, then send the remote meeting scheme to the Seven Cities Council, and subsequently launch the sale of the new communication Magic Artifact.

As his consciousness returned to the Main Plane, Xia Duo frowned deeply. Because the Cloud Pattern Duke was incomplete, it actually created a significant obstacle to the solution.

While Xia Duo was non-stop solving the future Cloud Pattern Duke, Niya also began to preside over the construction of the Communication Mythallar. This was originally a ready-made scheme; the reason it was delayed until now was mainly because she wanted to study the new Communication Mythallar.

"Sigh!" Aiboke let out a long sigh, "You and Xia Duo are truly a match made in heaven; one is better at ordering me around than the other. Who told me to promise Aipusi that I would take care of you!"

Anchoring the present world, projecting perception, then locking onto possibilities related to the Territory; the exploration of time surged like a spring, leaving behind only scenes of fleeting future visions.

After racking his brains, Xia Duo sighed again that he was indeed of mediocre talent. Forget about the best scheme; he would use a crude method to increase the information capacity to complete the experiment first.

If nothing unexpected happens, this altar will need maintenance after another two or three Prophecy Rituals. As for this time, it will of course be used normally.
