Chapter 2567: Magic Computer get!

Inside the Laboratory.

Xia Duo quickly re-wove the core calculation component of the Double-string 5th-ring Calculator using Mithril; it was still the same double-layered mesh structure as before, only under normal vision, all that could be seen was the natural color of Mithril, rather than the faint blue glow of Arcane Strings.

Subsequently, Xia Duo attempted to connect it to the Magic Net. This time, when connecting to the Magic Net, the situation where it was assimilated by the Magic Net as before did not occur, but surprises still existed.

Right now, this Mithril-material calculation component was not an Energy-Conducting Material capable of reflecting the operational rules of Magic Net energy; it could conduct energy, but it could not form a normal Magic Effect circuit.

In other words, a calculation component in this state could not be directly connected to the Magic Net; even if Magic Net Strings were wrapped around it, they would still spontaneously dissipate.

This was determined by the inherent characteristics of the Magic Net itself.

"So that's how it is!"

A look of realization flashed in Xia Duo's eyes. Although this new thing could theoretically be realized, when it came down to engineering implementation and actual manufacturing, it was still constrained by various factors stemming from the material itself and the environment.

However, this did not stump him; it was nothing more than adding an extra connection device. This connection device belonged to the category of conventional Magic Items, and accordingly, the core Energy-Conducting Material of this device could use Arcane Strings.

Its main function was to connect the Magic Net Strings to the core calculation component, realizing the normal input and output of energy, but this energy input was not for consumption, but rather similar to collecting samples to detect the state.

Although the essence of the two might be consistent, with Xia Shao's current abilities, he could still only choose one to study. Relatively speaking, studying the Magic Net was more complex; it was almost not a natural set of rules.

Before that, Xia Shao also made an output device for displaying calculation results, similarly connecting it to the core calculation component. Thus, a calculator with basically complete functions was considered finished.

Therefore, Xia Shao hoped more to explore feasible methods for reconciling the Magic Effects produced by calculations with high costs in practice.

But the problem was, the current calculation was an instantaneous process. In other words, once the calculation was finished, the result disappeared; the calculator could not save the result or display the result for a long time.

That is like a calculator on Earth; the result only displays for a moment after calculation. Can such a calculator be used? Of course it can be used! But is it easy to use? It is certainly not easy to use.

Other places aside, the core calculation component alone cannot operate independently without the Magic Net.

If it were a complete Magic Computer, I am afraid the extra support devices required would be even more numerous!

Previously, through energy output, the state was transmitted to the Magic Net, and the Magic Net made corresponding changes based on its own nature, and then this result was continuously fed back to other parts of the calculation component, cycling in this way.

……

Such a large project, it is better to wait until there are more high-level Mages in the Tower of Time. As for how many, this project would need at least a hundred people, and that is considering other projects.

Moreover, the more extra support devices there are, the more complex this entire computer system will become, and the problems that need to be considered will grow exponentially.

Very quickly, Xia Shao finished all the connection devices. In order to manufacture them quickly, he still used Mithril material for these connection devices. These were all conventional Magic Items, and using Arcane Strings was also possible, unlike the core calculation component.

……

An output device is unnecessary; right now, the energy flow at the lowest level of this calculator is visible to Xia Shao's eyes!

It can be seen that a good product is not just the realization of its main functions; the convenience of use should also be considered as a priority.

However, Xia Shao discovered another problem; it really is true that one doesn't discover things until practicing! For a Spellcaster, the Double-string 5th-ring Calculator that Xia Shao made at present indeed does not need any output device to read the results directly.

In the case where the volume of the core calculation component is relatively small, these are actually predictable, but in the future, a Magic Computer will certainly not have such a small volume (dozens of elements).

After that, it is continuous testing. Of course, the testing at this stage is mainly not to verify the accuracy of the calculation; after all, the Principles are right there, and as long as the calculator is not broken, it is basically impossible to make a mistake.

And in the future, if a new Magic Computer is designed based on the nature of energy, perhaps it can be called an 【Energy Computer】.

As for the appearance, although it is not the most important thing, it is also related to the user's psychological state. A good product should also possess an appearance that conforms to the user's aesthetics.

After that, it is the open interface used for input. The original plan was indeed like that, but under normal circumstances, Magic Net Strings cannot be connected to the calculation component.

After working back and forth, Xia Shao found that many of his original assumptions had been overturned. Originally, he wanted to make an integrated Magic Computer or calculator, but now, this calculator alone requires multiple extra support devices.

What Xia Shao wanted to test was the Magic Effect when performing different calculations. This part is actually not just predictable, but frequent calculations of various Magic Effects evolving with each other would lead to various unexpected effects.

At the same time, Xia Shao also saw the calculation results. This kind of double-string calculation problem is just like addition and subtraction within one hundred in mathematics; it completely does not need extra verification, and one can almost see the result at a glance.

Almost without much effort, the input device was made. In the process of connecting it to the core calculation component, Xia Shao could not help but feel a little excited.

Xia Shao controlled the input device and entered a simple double-string calculation problem. Almost synchronized with his input, the calculation component immediately emitted a faint glow, accompanied by a slight Element Release.

Even building just one test machine to verify feasibility is probably unrealistic. With this, he has completely put down the idea of carrying out the breakthrough at the current stage.

I am afraid it will be when the number of high-level Mages in the Tower of Time reaches several hundred that the Magic Computer project can be restarted.

Once the volume is large, the evolution of Magic Effects is difficult to predict. This is somewhat similar to the chaotic systems on Earth; the input parameters are extremely numerous, let alone long-term prediction, even short-term prediction is very difficult.

From this perspective, a Magic Computer designed based on the nature of the Magic Net might also be called a 【Weave Computer】.

Although it is only a Double-string 5th-ring Calculator, this can also be considered the prototype of a Magic Computer. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; as long as he thinks of the huge Application prospects of the Magic Computer, how could he not be excited!

If one wants it to operate independently, I am afraid one needs to find a brand-new design concept. Perhaps one can only consider it from the nature of energy itself, but as far as the present is concerned, the existing design concept for this kind of computer is actually more focused on the Magic Net.

"Sure enough, wanting to build a usable Magic Computer in a short time is not very realistic!" Xia Shao could not help but sigh.

Such a large number of experiments is indispensable. Thus, this requires making a separate input device.

If one is not careful and does not pay attention to the result, one has to recalculate. This was originally a tool used to reduce workload, but in the end, it requires the user to pay extra attention.

It does not need an extra startup method, because the core calculation component is not a normal Magic Item; it is just a special device that connects to the Magic Net and utilizes the nature of the Magic Net.

Starting the connection device, the Magic Net Strings in the Laboratory that were originally indifferent to the double-layered mesh structure of the calculation component, as if they had drunk a love potion, gathered one by one rapidly around the calculation component and quickly completed the corresponding link.

Without a doubt, the calculator answered correctly!
