Chapter 1290 Worth Millions, Real Problems

There is no need to look at the final results of the experiment. Judging from the preliminary preparations for this experiment, Sha Duo gave up the idea of ​​returning to the main plane to continue making spell chips.

At least he wasn't going to do it until large-scale cheap high-quality mithril appeared.

Let’s not talk about success or failure. In the early stage, we didn’t even have a few million gold coins as a base, and we couldn’t even get the materials needed for the experiment.

Even if the materials are gathered together, it is easy to say that the experiment is successful. If it fails, it will only make a noise.

On the projection plane, the institute paid for the experiments, but when he returned to the main plane, Xia Duo really didn't have that much spare money to conduct such experiments.

The spell chip was placed very low in Sha Duo's plan. When he was in the main plane, he only occasionally thought of it and sighed.

It was in this projection plane that he had such good conditions to complete a primary chip with a very single function.

When he returns to the main plane, as long as Mithril has money and he has the [Element Extraction] refining technology, he can always get the high-grade Mithril he wants, but high-precision alchemical formations are hard to come by.

In this regard, Xia Duo also has an alternative plan, but in the end it is just a conjecture, and he does not have some prerequisites for that plan yet, and there is no way to verify it.

…

After playing with the million-dollar fine gold ball in his hand for a while, Xia Duo finally remembered that the spell chip was not really completed yet.

Only the last step is left to connect to the magic network.

The "smallness" of the spell chip is not its main feature. One of its most important features is the integration of a large number of spells, similar to multi-casting or superposition of effects.

Xia Duo's [Force Field Shield] chip integrates 28 1-ring [Force Field Shield] spells in a fine gold ball with a diameter only the size of a human pupil.

The theoretical protection strength at the time of design is similar to the level of the core element unit of level 1 [force field shield] rising to level 5 or 6.

In other words, this spell chip can actually be replaced by a simpler 5-level spell, or a higher 5-level spell.

What is the actual significance of its existence?

This means that even if the magic network collapses, this spell chip can still play its normal protective role. It will lose its effect unless the magic network disappears completely.

At the same time, the threshold for making this chip is actually not high. As long as the conditions are right, a low-level mage can complete it.

In other words, as long as the conditions are right, its cost can be as low as just the material cost.

The material cost is actually a false proposition. It may be very expensive at the beginning, but when the technology breaks through a certain limit, it will become extremely cheap.

In addition, due to the integrated effect of the spell chip, Xia Duo can now make 28-in-1, so it is not impossible to make 280-in-1 in the future.

Just like Moore's Law of chips in his hometown, as long as people continue to join in the research, it will actually develop very fast. Xia Duo is very confident in this.

…

There were no glitches in the process of connecting to the Magic Network. It went smoothly beyond Xia Duo's expectations. The connection was done step by step according to the planned linking sequence, and there was no glitch in the whole process.

It wasn't until the link was completed and the fine gold ball emitted a dim but rich magical aura in the magic vision that he realized that the chip trial production was probably stable.

If there is a problem with the subsequent stimulation, it has nothing to do with the design, but rather the purity of the mithril may have been affected during the production process.

Looking carefully at the completed version of the [Force Field Shield] chip, Sha Duo seemed to see a future scenario in which various spell chips appeared in large numbers.

Immediately afterwards, he brought this currently unique spell chip to the calm field of the laboratory.

After driving away all other irrelevant people, he uneasily cast a range of evasion detection magic, which activated the chip.

…

As soon as the chip was activated, a large number of palm-sized diamond-shaped force fields emerged from the cube around Xia Duo's body. They were densely packed, layered, and continuously derived outwards.

Force field protection is very effective against physical attacks, but not so effective against energy attacks. Of course, the protective effect is also there, at least it is better than the light plate.

And now this 28-in-1 force field protection spell has a protection strength exceeding 5 levels.

Although this is not very practical for Xia Duo now, it has great potential for future development. At this moment, seeing the magic chip successfully activated, Xia Duo nodded excitedly.

"Finally we've come this far!"

At this moment, Xia Duo wanted to share the joy in his heart with more people, but in order to continue to stay in this projection plane, he still suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

As his mood gradually calmed down, Xia Duo also began to think about a more realistic problem. Even with the good conditions of the Imperial Survivors Research Institute, it was not easy for this chip to be born.

If it is placed on the main plane, how long will it take for it to reappear?

In addition, this is just a 28-in-1 chip with simple functions. If he needs to implement more complex functions, or if he wants to create the computer he has always wanted to do, how complicated the manufacturing process will be?

In addition to manufacturing, there are also big problems with design.

Xia Duo had been thinking about the design of this chip since he was in the main plane, but it was just because he had no conditions to realize it that he kept it on the shelf. Other chips needed to be redesigned.

It can even be said that even with the [Force Field Shield] chip, 28-in-1 and 29-in-1 are not the same concept at all!

Xia Duo has not yet figured out the rules here. To efficiently design various types of chips, more research is needed, or more specifically, more time, personnel, and resources are needed.

Thinking about the complexity of the electronic chip industry in my hometown, the magic chip may have fewer requirements than the electronic chip due to the strong productivity of the spell caster, but it will not be much less.

Just thinking about it, Xia Duo can come up with a lot of questions.

"The popularization of education must continue! The population of the territory must also continue to increase!"

In the magical world, individual strength may be extremely strong, but the collective still has an overwhelming advantage. Can two strong people combined be weaker than one strong person?

Furthermore, even a strong person may not be wiser than a weak person.

It is usually said that the mage is the embodiment of wisdom, but in fact, the mage can only be said to be the embodiment of intelligence or the embodiment of knowledge.

Following the path of the predecessors, as long as you are willing to work hard and follow the instructions, it is not difficult to become a mage, or even a great arcanist.

Wisdom, however, is a higher form of intelligence. It is an advanced creative thinking ability based on physiological and psychological organs that life has. It includes all abilities such as perception, memory, understanding, analysis, judgment, and sublimation of nature and humanity.

Having intelligence is not the same as having wisdom.

For example - inspiration should belong to the category of wisdom, not intelligence.

Inspiration may be accumulated and paved in the early stage, or it may appear without warning. Even a strong person cannot guarantee that he will be able to generate inspiration when needed.

If this is the case, wouldn’t it be an omniscient model created out of nothing?

Individual wisdom cannot be omniscient, but collective wisdom may not be close to omniscience. As long as there are enough individuals, all situations can be enumerated.

This is also the principle of civilization that Xia Duo has always believed in!
