Chapter 2761: The Exploration of Truth is Endless

After many attempts, Xia Duo gradually figured out the main structure of the Taiweimansa Mythallar, and even made a breakthrough regarding the framework of the Yierlan Unified Mythallar.

The former was actually not that important to him; he had too many traditional Mythallar plans, and only the framework of the Unified Mythallar was worth him spending so much effort on.

Based on what he currently understood, he speculated that the Yierlan Unified Mythallar might not have been built starting from the macroscopic structure level of the Magic Net, but rather from the microscopic level, building the foundation bit by bit using individual Magic Net Strings.

Then, it leaped upward to form an orderly macroscopic structure; this was undoubtedly a massive project.

It was also at this moment that Xia Duo understood why the progress of the Yierlan Unified Mythallar was so slow; the establishment of the Unified Mythallar itself was so cumbersome, and the subsequent integration of other Mythallars would still require starting from the microscopic level!

Furthermore, based on existing investigation data, he speculated that Yierlan would not be able to complete the integration work of all domestic Mythallars within at least ten years.

Of course, this was a speculation based on the current development of the Unified Mythallar; if Yierlan was determined to complete the unification and continuously invested Mage power.

Then it might be possible to complete it ahead of schedule, but it was certainly impossible within four or five years; just sorting out the communication rules for Mythallars in various places was a huge project, let alone integrating them.

……

Inside the Netheril Embassy residence.

If I want to establish a Unified Mythallar in the shortest possible time, that Yierlan hurdle is definitely unavoidable, but if I don't have overly harsh requirements for the establishment time of the Unified Mythallar, this can completely be done slowly.

For Xia Duo, a world with such a high threshold for longevity was simply wonderful; it was not only that individuals could easily obtain enough time to look toward the future, but also that the foundation for exploring the future would be constantly growing.

This was the difficulty for the pioneer, while the followers behind did not need to have such worries; they just needed to follow the person leading in front and catch up, whether fast or slow.

Xia Duo would certainly set up his own Unified Mythallar research project at the Tower of Time, but at the same time, he would not give up on the Yierlan side; to say nothing else, at the very least, it could accelerate the research.

It could be said that with Equation Spells, the perspective of intelligent beings on this world would reach another level.

At this time, if someone entered this room and observed the scene inside through Magic Vision, they would definitely be shocked by the dazzling Magic Aura before their eyes.

To date, the point Xia Duo was most proud of was not participating in the research and development of the Mythallar, or achieving the rank of Great Arcanist, or establishing a Floating City; the point he was most proud of was actually discovering Equation Spells.

To give a simplest example—the Maikesuoweifangcheng and classical mechanics; these two were different systems, and the biggest disagreement between them lay in the different understanding of the speed of light.

And such exploration was almost endless.

Perhaps it was such almost endless truth that was fascinating; otherwise, how much would a world that could be seen to the end at a glance be worth investing in?

From classical mechanics to relativity, these were major breakthroughs in human cognition of the world and exploration of the Universe.

And this was merely a preliminary energy link established by Xia Duo to investigate the Yierlan Unified Mythallar; just this alone took him a great deal of effort. If he were to also build a relatively perfect Unified Mythallar, then he did not know how much time it would take.

Perhaps in other worlds, there were also excellent researchers who discovered Equation Spells, but in the Main Plane, at least in Xia Duo's cognition, no predecessor had ever made such a discovery.

After all, he could not determine which development route was the most correct right now, so he could only do both.

Anyone with the slightest ambition to transcend needed to be prepared to act as a pioneer; Xia Duo was never satisfied with just spinning within the framework of his predecessors, and long ago he had the consciousness to become a pioneer.

If Xia Duo was determined to rest on his laurels, then he could just lie flat now; the title of discoverer of Equation Spells could completely allow him to rest on his laurels for a lifetime.

For a considerable amount of time in the past, Xia Duo had played the role of a chaser, at least in the field of Magic research, but he could not chase others forever.

So this destined that exploration could not stop, because you simply did not know whether the thing you were currently researching was something outside the existing known law system.

It could be said that the discovery of any new law outside the existing system was a major breakthrough in the process of exploring the truth of the Universe.

It could be said that if there were no Maikesuoweifangcheng, there might not be relativity later; even if there were, the discoverer might not necessarily be Einstein.

To say nothing more, at the very least, the number of individual Spells would no longer be a restriction, because substituting different parameters into an Equation Spell would result in different similar Spells.

Just like on Earth, most researchers knew that the Universe was limited, but exploration was unlimited, because a law system composed of determined limited laws could not deduce laws outside the system.

The former believed that the speed of light was constant, while the latter believed that the speed of light was variable.

Based on Equation Spells, Arcane Magic ushered in a qualitative change.

In layman's terms, it meant there did not exist a law system that could explain everything, which could deduce all the laws of the entire Universe all the way through.

In fact, as far as the current exploration of Magic by Netheril and the Red Heart Alliance was concerned, Xia Duo did not think that they had approached the end of Magic.

This was the true pioneering work that truly surpassed past Magic.

In other words, in this small embassy guest room, he had almost replicated the Spellcasting volume required for a normal Mythallar; from this, one could see the delicacy of the design and the massive scale of the Yierlan Unified Mythallar framework.

But this was obviously not what he truly wanted; he still wanted to see higher and further scenery, and this also reminded him not to be limited to past achievements, but to continue moving forward.

Centered on the Mythallar credential left by Feilifa, layers upon layers of Magic Net Strings were gathered, but judging from the Spellcasting elements involved, it was not much less than any Mythallar Xia Duo was familiar with.

The Earth Universe was like this, and whether the Magic world was also like this—although Xia Duo had not strictly proven it, based on current discoveries, it was very likely to be so.

Multiple different rule systems existed in one Universe simultaneously; one could not deduce other systems through one of them, and one must combine new discoveries to possibly make a breakthrough, which required researchers to continuously explore.

In fact, he would not only start the Unified Mythallar research project, but also start the Mythallar hot-update project; he did not want to give up on either of the two development routes.

It could be said that Equation Spells revealed the deeper essence of Magic in this world.

But fortunately, after investigation and research, Xia Duo discovered that establishing a Unified Mythallar was more of a conceptual problem; there were technical difficulties, but as long as there was a concept, it was just a matter of fast or slow development.

Although the Magic Net seemed to have an end, Magic was endless.
