Next, whether Xia Duo wants to verify his guess or cut out more basic forms of spiritual core, he needs to continue cutting.
Of course, he will not cut it on a large scale until these spiritual core basic forms can become qualified intelligent brain components through actual testing.
Not even half of the smallest ectoplasm core picked out before was consumed, so Xia Duo used it to start testing. After continuing to cut out a tetrahedron ectoplasm core, he took out a prepared first-generation communication weapon.
——[Intelligence Enlightenment Technique]!
The weapon spirit was successfully formed. Although there was only one basic form of ectoplasm core, you should know that something as big as the mage tower only requires three complete ectoplasm cores, and there should be plenty.
It is not difficult to understand something as small as a communication magic weapon, which only needs a little bit of spiritual core.
But what surprised Xia Duo was that even the basic form of the spiritual core could carry a copy of his consciousness.
He had previously thought that if the ectoplasm core was divided to this extent, it would not be able to carry a copy of consciousness. Unexpectedly, this thing was much stronger than he expected.
It can be seen from this that the consciousness of those twisted phantoms is so powerful that they even have innate psychic abilities. However, unfortunately, the structure of consciousness is single. Once the psychic defense line is broken, it is as if they are completely defenseless.
Human beings do not have such a strong innate consciousness, but human consciousness is divided into the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Even if there is no protection, the subconscious mind is a natural protection.
Psychic spells can generally only break through the surface consciousness, and usually need to control the surface consciousness first before they can further affect the subconscious mind.
Is it necessary to have powerful psychic powers, or is it necessary to "implement" psychic protection for each individual?
This question is not easy for Xia Duo to answer. Now that he is no longer a weak individual, he naturally hopes to obtain psychic powers. But if he is still in a weak state, then of course he needs natural psychic protection.
Or, perhaps, he is now very weak compared to those truly powerful beings. In this case, it may be a mistake to seek a state of consciousness similar to a distorted phantom as a human being to obtain psychic powers.
Xia Duo speculated that the so-called spiritual enlightenment may be the transformation of consciousness into something like a twisted phantom, thereby giving birth to psychic powers, which can then be strengthened or amplified through some special means, which may be psychic magic.
Of course, this is just Xia Duo's guess. To be specific, we still need to find a real psychic mage to cooperate in conducting several experiments.
…
After determining that the basic form of the regular polyhedral ectoplasm core could be combined with a first-generation communication instrument to become an intelligent brain component, Shado began to continuously divide the large ectoplasm core.
Soon, the eight cut ectoplasmic cores were completely decomposed. Except for the two that had been cut off before, there were still 12 ectoplasmic cores in the basic form of regular polyhedrons.
And those eight are actually derived from two complete twisted phantom cores. In other words, a complete twisted phantom core can be broken down into about 7 basic forms.
Because there were too many cuts, Xia Duo also discovered a problem that might affect his previous speculation on the basic form of the core of spiritual matter——
He did not discover the spiritual core of the icosahedron. At most, there was only one dodecahedron, and it was "collapsed" by him.
Xia Duo was not sure whether it was true that there was no basic form of spiritual core of the icosahedron, or that he had not cut enough yet.
So, without any doubt, he picked up the [Spiritual Closure Blade] again and directly cut six complete spiritual cores, "exploding" a total of 50 basic forms.
Compared with what was just expected - one complete spiritual core can decompose about 7 basic forms, which is still improved.
8 ectoplasmic cores ==> 62 basic forms, plus the two destroyed ones, it is a full eight times. If there is no [Spiritual Closure Blade], so many complete ectoplasmic cores are needed.
Regardless of the price, this thing is rich. Even if someone is willing to sell it, they may not be able to buy it. It also depends on the harvest situation at the Seven Towers or the Ether Advance Base.
Gu Qing
Xia Duo subconsciously squeezed the jade knife in his hand and sighed in his heart, as expected, technology is the primary productive force.
…
Next, Xia Duo did not continue to divide the complete ectoplasm core. There were 62 ectoplasm cores in basic form, which was enough for him to start the Intelligent Brain project.
Later, you can divide and add them when necessary. There is no need to cut them all. If you need the complete ectoplasmic core one day, you will be blind.
However, today, Xia Duo may not have time to build a smart brain, so he can only use these basic forms of ectoplasm core to create a weapon spirit for a generation of communication magic weapon.
For him now, this is almost purely physical work.
Until dusk, when Niya returned from the blue crystal plane, he had not completed everything, but the steady progress of the project still made him very satisfied.
At least it's a start.
After returning from Severington tomorrow, Shado will continue. As long as he can build a prototype of the intelligent brain that meets expectations, it will also be a huge boost for the subsequent Floating City Mystery Lock project.
This is equivalent to having N more than one self researching together. In addition to being deficient in inspiration, other aspects such as theoretical derivation and calculation and arrangement will far exceed his own body.
…
That night, perhaps stimulated by what happened before, Niya's enthusiasm was beyond Sha Duo's imagination, so much so that he didn't want to leave Niya the next day.
But Severington can delay it once for him. If he delays it again, even Horn will think that he is playing tricks on others.
With a gentle kiss on Niya's forehead, Xia Duo stood up resolutely. Normally, Niya might have woken up if he made such a big move, but she was too tired last night. Niya was still breathing steadily, not pretending to sleep.
After going to Linshui Village to simply find some food, and bringing one to Niya, Sha Duo then set foot on the teleportation circle heading to Severnton.
…
Austrian-French Federation.
It was still the unfamiliar high-domed circular hall.
In the center of the hall is a huge round table, evenly surrounded by nineteen seats, which corresponds to the nineteen great arcanists in Netheril today, and also indicates that everyone is equal.
In the center of the round table is a moving blue glow, with some mysterious symbols emerging from time to time, which can be used both as a decoration and for projection display.
Before Sha Duo came, he met with Iolum and got the official agenda for the meeting to be held later. As the convener of this meeting, Sha Duo was naturally the first to come.
He checked the meeting agenda and waited patiently.
Almost an hour later, Iolum appeared at the venue for the second time, and after that, the spectators filed in one by one.
In addition to Federation directors such as Brundes and Auron, there are also senior arcanists who have the authority to come and observe on their own, or anyone brought here.
Theoretically, even ordinary people can be brought in, but it would be silly to actually do so.
Although Xia Duo could not tell the specific levels of the mages present, he could roughly judge from their clothes, demeanor, and accessories that they were all at least starting from a high level.
These people were sitting on the chairs near the wall on the outside of the circular hall. As the seats on the outside of the hall gradually filled up, other great arcanists began to appear one after another.
