Chapter 2948: Pseudo-Mythallar, Magic Industry

————Still about 40 minutes left~~

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

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

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

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

Of course, in this regard, the Elf had a lot of experience to draw upon, but there was no need for Xia Duo to say these things; he feared that if he said any more, others would begin 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 the trouble of 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 problem had already tangibly affected this place.

……

Mentioning the progress of the Communication Mythallar, Xia Duo suddenly became interested, so he hurriedly asked, "What kind of array is it? How much does it affect stability? If we have to abandon the distributed design for this, it would be completely not worth it."

The reason the Communication Mythallar could exist with so many nodes, and even mobile nodes (Communication Magic Tools), was in large part due to its initial distributed design.

"There is no need for your help for the time being; the Elf side has ready-made plans. We can take them and modify them for direct use. You should focus on the Mythallar Node updates for now. The current total number of Communication Mythallar nodes is only a few hundred thousand. Only when it breaks through the million-level mark will you dare to worry about promoting it in the Elf World; otherwise, if it triggers the Elf to imitate it, that would be too troublesome."

I am also very curious to know where Niya will take the Communication Mythallar that I laid the foundation for!

"I am relieved to hear you say that!"

Before the meeting, Xia Duo mentioned the results of this meeting to Niya. Niya did not have much interest in those, only asking if Xia Duo needed her help.

Regarding this, Xia Duo could not help but feel regretful, and also a bit remorseful—why hadn't he thought of designing one for himself at the time!

Even if the upper limit of the number of nodes was higher, what could it do?

"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 over 100 million nodes. Adding new functions will reduce this upper limit, but these are all my current judgments; how it will actually work requires further research to reach more reliable conclusions."

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.

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

"Quick, tell me about your design ideas?"

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?"

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

Regarding the Thought Robe he personally designed and manufactured, Xia Duo was still very at ease. 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.

"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."

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

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

Niya also agreed with this point, so recently she never actively asked about things happening in the outside world, focusing entirely on the Mythallar project. Regarding Niya's state, Xia Duo felt both some joy and some worry.

Xia Duo had to consider this point seriously, and Niya also understood Xia Duo's meaning and immediately explained: "The array I mentioned does not refer to the node level, but to the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net mapped by the nodes."

It is just a pity that the foundation of Magic Industry in the Main Plane is too weak; I am afraid that for a considerable period of time, it will be impossible to reproduce such an industrial miracle!

Regarding such an answer, Niya herself felt a bit dissatisfied, 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.

Using the 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 huge, hard-to-ignore impacts on the entire Mythallar.

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, and cannot continue to maintain this Mythallar that looks like a Communication Mythallar but is actually just a special node-displaying Mythallar.

Just like mobile phone 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.

"It will not 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."

"Is that so?"

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

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

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

In other words, even if all the nodes outside were destroyed, it would not affect the existence of the Communication Mythallar. It is just that the things outside acting as nodes are individual Communication Magic Tools; if they are all destroyed, it is equivalent to no one using it, and there is no great significance in the Mythallar continuing to exist.

"It is like this, the discovery of the Array Design originated from an experimental accident. At that time, I—"

"In addition, the infinite increase in the upper limit of the number of nodes I mentioned is only theoretical. In reality, it may be impossible to reach. It is expected that when the total number of nodes reaches a certain level, the Mythallar will be unable to load new functions, and even the entire Mythallar will essentially serve the existence of these nodes. To use the words of your hometown, it feels like the guest usurping the host's role."

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