Chapter 2947: New Breakthrough in Communication Mythallar

After Xia Duo finished speaking, all the councilors entered a state of contemplation, though regarding some details of the comprehensive detection, Xia Duo actually still had some reservations.

For instance, in the current Classical Era, could the various lords of Netheril truly manage to detect everyone within their own territories?

This question clearly required a big question mark; the most intuitive point was that the various lords generally only possessed high control within the main towns of their territories, and outside of the towns, it was very difficult to maintain control.

Even in Daxia Territory, with a relatively complete household registration system, it was difficult to say that every person at the grassroots level was fully under control.

Of course, in this regard, the Elves had a lot of experience to draw from, but there was no need for Xia Duo to say these things; he feared that if he said any more, others would start to suspect his intentions.

Xia Duo could see that many councilors had no concept of Demon Descendant detection; once these people took the initiative to learn about it themselves, it would save him from wasting his breath.

He believed that after this meeting, the vast majority of councilors would take the initiative to learn about it; after all, the current Netheril could no longer remain a bystander, as the Demon Descendant issue had already tangibly affected this place.

……

After the meeting, Xia Duo mentioned the results of the meeting to Niya; Niya did not have much interest in these, only asking if Xia Duo needed her help.

"I don't need your help for the time being. The Elves have a ready-made plan; we can take it, modify it, and use it directly. You should focus on the Mythallar Node updates for now. The current total number of Communication Mythallar Nodes is only in the hundreds of thousands. Only when it breaks the million-level mark will you dare to worry about promoting it in the Elf World; if it causes the Elves to imitate it, that would be too troublesome."

Niya finally said a sentence in Chinese. Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, then reacted and continued to ask: "Then what is the upper limit of nodes you estimate can actually be reached?"

"Why don't you tell me about your design ideas?"

Even if the upper limit of the number of nodes is higher, what can it do?

"I'm relieved to hear you say that!"

"Additionally, the unlimited increase in the upper limit of the number of nodes I mentioned is only theoretical; in reality, it may not be achievable. It is expected that once the total number of nodes reaches a certain level, the Mythallar will be unable to load new functions, and the entire Mythallar might even end up serving the existence of those nodes. To use your hometown's words, it would feel like the guest usurping the host's role."

In the study, Niya introduced without reservation the development process of the original array design, as well as the latest design details after her many subsequent improvements.

The reason the Communication Mythallar could have so many nodes, and also mobile nodes (Communication Magic Tools), was to a large extent due to its initial distributed design.

"Hmm, I have always been careful. Basically, I wear the Thought Robe for every important experiment. If the robe is with you, I won't consider doing important experiments."

Xia Duo had to consider this point seriously, and Niya also understood Xia Duo's meaning, immediately explaining: "When I say array, I don't mean the node level, but the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net mapped by the nodes."

For the current Communication Mythallar, it can be said to be extremely applicable. Of course, from a long-term perspective, it still needs to be replaced with a more general design, rather than continuing to maintain a Mythallar that looks like a Communication Mythallar but is actually a special node-displaying Mythallar.

"If the Communication Mythallar is not prepared to add new functions in the future, then in its current state, it can support a total of nearly one hundred million nodes. Adding new functions will reduce this upper limit, but these are all my current judgments; specifically how it will go requires further research to reach more reliable conclusions."

Niya also agreed with this point, so she had never actively asked about things happening in the outside world recently, throwing herself entirely into the Mythallar project. Regarding Niya's state, Xia Duo felt both a little happy and a little worried.

Just like mobile communication on Earth, no matter how many mobile phone users there are, once the immobile base stations are destroyed, a large number of users will inevitably be affected.

But that is only a situation that exists in theory; in reality, such a thing is impossible to happen.

Xia Duo could not help but feel regretful about this, and also a bit remorseful—why didn't he think to design one for himself at the time!

"It's like this, the discovery of the array design originated from an experimental accident. At that time, I—"

Mentioning the progress of the Communication Mythallar, Xia Duo suddenly became interested, so he hurriedly asked, "What kind of array? How much impact does it have on stability? If we abandon the distributed design for this, it wouldn't be worth it at all."

"Is that so?"

"Don't worry, I recently discovered a brand-new node design idea that adopts an array design. The stability is slightly lower than before, but the upper limit can be increased almost infinitely."

The biggest advantage of the distributed node design is that as long as the number of nodes is not destroyed by two-thirds, the Mythallar will basically not be affected at all, and in fact, the nodes Xia Duo put out only account for one-third of the total.

Xia Duo listened patiently to the end. He did not immediately evaluate how the array design was, but reminded Niya, "Although your current Labyrinth Laboratory has a very high level of protection, you still need to pay attention to experimental safety; personal protection is also indispensable."

In other words, even if all the external nodes were destroyed, it would not affect the existence of the Communication Mythallar; it's just that the things acting as nodes outside are individual Communication Magic Tools, and if they were all destroyed, it would be equivalent to no one using it, and the Mythallar's continued existence would have little significance.

It is a pity that the foundation of Magic Industry on the Main Plane is too weak; I am afraid that it will be impossible to reproduce such an industrial miracle for quite some time!

There is nothing more reassuring than carrying a fully functional War Spell Platform with you!

Xia Duo was still very confident in the Thought Robe he personally designed and manufactured. Not to mention Niya, even he himself would borrow it from Niya to carry with him when conducting important experiments or important actions, so as to avoid accidents.

Although Xia Duo did not fear competition, he felt it was very worthwhile to exchange a little patience in the early stage for a rapid rise in the middle stage.

Actually, there was a design, but the resources I had at the time were limited, so I could only make one.

"It won't affect the distributed foundation; it will only affect the Mythallar itself. The specific manifestation might be a decrease in loadable functions and an increase in the proportion of nodes required to fully control the Mythallar."

Niya herself felt a bit dissatisfied with such an answer, but Xia Duo felt it couldn't be more satisfactory after hearing it. Although it sacrificed the upper limit of Mythallar function expansion, it brought about a rapid climb in the total number of nodes.

Although Xia Duo handed over the responsibility of the Communication Mythallar to Niya, everyone has a heart of curiosity, not to mention him, the original designer of this Communication Mythallar!

Using an array design essentially turns them into fixed nodes, losing the super-strong adaptability of the distributed system. Once key nodes are destroyed, it is very likely to cause a huge, hard-to-ignore impact on the entire Mythallar.

He also really wanted to know where Niya would take the Communication Mythallar he founded!
