Chapter 2901: Spirit Thought Network Security Solution

As for the highest Level 4, Xia Duo did not mention it, because this level would 100% expose secrets; when in the Time-Related Magic Research Laboratory, researchers would occasionally use this level in pursuit of extreme computing power support or in certain necessary situations.

In other circumstances, almost no one uses it.

If a Public Computing Resource Pool is established in the future, the Level 4 perception depth of the Connector will of course need to exist, only that the risk of privacy exposure will be notified in advance.

But if it is only the first three levels, the vast majority of users have no need to worry about privacy exposure; even for someone like Xia Duo who can parse Subconscious Information, it is difficult to directly obtain a user's deep privacy with only the first three levels of connection.

One must go through a repeated "inquiry-response" mechanism to obtain some brief information, most of which is based on judgment.

Although Xia Duo had explained the restraint of the Spirit Thought Network regarding user privacy as much as possible, Aostumans did not stop there, but continued to ask:

"Can Consultant Xia Duo's description of Meta-Thinking be verified?"

"Of course it can, but if one cannot parse Subconscious Information, even if I lay out the experimental process here, you may not necessarily understand or believe it; perhaps you could ask a Lingneng Dashi for help, as the power of idealism is just right for this."

In fact, it is possible to understand Meta-Thinking research without being able to parse Subconscious Information, but Xia Duo did not want to easily reveal his research results, so having a Lingneng Dashi help verify it would save a lot of trouble.

As for whether a Lingneng Dashi possesses such ability, as an Arcanist who has parsed the consciousness of a Lingneng Dashi, Xia Duo can say very clearly that a Lingneng Dashi 100% possesses such ability.

Because the energy-conducting components have elemental flow, elemental transmutation reactions are constantly occurring, but composite materials contain different substances, and the rate of elemental transmutation reactions is not the same, which in turn leads to changes in the composite method, and it no longer possesses the properties of the material's initial state.

The plan proposed by Xia Duo involves Spirit Quality, which is an indispensable material; normal Spirit Quality material is very expensive, taking the Spirit Quality material of the Twisted Phantom Core as an example, one piece costs 100,000 Gold Coins.

Although composite materials can be mass-produced, they also have their drawbacks, which is that when used for energy-conducting components, their service life is far inferior to the pure materials commonly used in Xilu.

And pure materials, whether they are various Gemstones, or Spirit Quality, or energy-conducting metals like Mithril and gold, because they are pure substances, only contain one type of substance.

Since it is an exclusive material, wouldn't it be a logical step to also take on the production of the Gateway Magic Tool and the Special Connector?

Besides this, for manufacturers, using this type of material is more conducive to planned obsolescence.

This is also an unavoidable problem; just as the privacy issue is a concern for the vast majority of Spellcasters, the security of the Spirit Thought Network itself is also worth the attention of the vast majority of Spellcasters.

After all, this type of material was born from Creation Magic, and what it is most suitable for manufacturing are Magic Artifacts based on Creation Magic, not Magic Artifacts of the Arcane Magic System.

It also utilizes the properties of the substance itself; even if an elemental transmutation reaction occurs, at most the purity drops and performance decreases slightly, but it will not cause the material's properties to mutate, which can leave enough time for the user to perform maintenance.

"This layer of protection can also be realized through specially designed Magic Items, or rather, by redesigning a type of Connector that can use projected consciousness to connect to the Spirit Thought Network."

Thinking of this, Xia Duo provided two plans for the representatives of various countries to refer to—

Actually, Xia Duo did obtain cheap, mass-produced Spirit Quality-like materials from Imaska, but that type of Spirit Quality-like material still has a significant gap compared to true Spirit Quality.

In fact, the Spirit Thought Network has only been developed in the Northland Alliance for less than fifty years, and targeted professions have already appeared; if the Northland Alliance of the Main Plane is to build a Public Computing Resource Pool, it must be aimed at long-term operation, so the emergence of "Spirit Network Hackers" is an inevitable event!

But if Spirit Quality-like materials mass-produced by Creation Magic are used, the cost is actually about the same as gold and silver, and compared to true Spirit Quality materials, it doesn't even count as a fraction.

"Secondly, it is to take precautions at the user level; as long as the user uses consciousness projection to connect to the Spirit Thought Network, even if the large network is completely compromised, there is no need to worry about threatening one's true consciousness."

But if Creation materials are used, once the composite method that produces a certain characteristic changes, the Magic Items made with this type of Creation material will immediately become ineffective.

Because all users are in the same network, any user's accident may affect all other users.

This is the feasibility basis for the two plans Xia Duo proposed, and of course, it is also a stable source of income for the Tower of Time in the future; currently, only he can provide this material in Xilu.

Using this material will not increase the cost of the Gateway Magic Tool by much; at most, it will not bring about a cost increase of more than one hundred Gold Coins.

"The so-called Gateway can be understood as a checkpoint between small networks; in essence, it is a specially designed Magic Item used to check and block abnormal consciousness information flows."

Regarding Xia Duo's answer, Aostumans was not very satisfied, so he asked again: "Then what about the security of the Spirit Thought Network itself?"

Furthermore, he is not at all surprised that some Lingneng Dashi can parse Subconscious Information; Lingneng is determined by idealism and can always produce some abilities that exceed reality and cognition.

Moreover, that type of Spirit Quality-like material, like most materials produced by Imaska Creation Magic, is almost all composite material, because it is this composite method that produces various special properties.

"Regarding the security protection of the Spirit Thought Network, first of all, at the level of the Spirit Thought Network itself, multiple Gateways can be used to divide the large network into several small networks; the damage caused by an individual user can at most only affect the small network they are in, and cannot spread to the large network."

Because before he entered the Red Heart Alliance Projection Plane, he had already started researching the security protection of the Spirit Thought Network; later in the Red Heart Alliance, the Spirit Thought Network had existed for nearly fifty years, and the security protection regarding it itself had developed bit by bit.

In fact, before the Public Computing Resource Pool was established, the Alliance leadership had already thought of this security risk, but compared to the privacy issue, Xia Duo had more confidence in the security issue of the Spirit Thought Network.

"But it needs to be pointed out in advance that both layers of protection require the use of Spirit Quality materials, and the cost is relatively high."

The Spirit Thought Network of the Main Plane has not appeared in the public eye for long, and for the time being, there is no such thing as a "Spirit Network Hacker," but in the Red Heart Alliance Projection Plane, this profession is a real existence.

Of course, it is not to say that Creation materials are completely useless; it is just that their relative lifespan is not as good as conventional materials, but their biggest advantage is that they are cheap!

This is also an indispensable material for creating a Tower Spirit.
