Diptatus was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that his focus was only on the mystery lock itself, and did not take into account the construction period. What Everesca needs most at the moment is a usable new mystery lock solution, rather than a theoretically better solution.
A new mystery lock that is perfect but may actually be delayed for a long time.
In the case where the adaptive framework has shown great advantages, it is a safer solution to prioritize the completion of a new mystery lock based on the adaptive framework.
It’s not like the Mystery Lock can’t be changed once it’s built. It can still be updated in the future. Thinking of this, Diptatus couldn’t help but doubt his own thoughts.
"I'm not sure. I didn't think carefully."
"No, your proposal is very good, but it may not be suitable for our current situation. But you also reminded me, maybe we can do it at the same time!"
Shado did not completely reject Diptatus's proposal. Currently, the biggest influence on the progress of the New Mystery Lock project is, to a large extent, the number of high mages participating in the project.
Some experiments must be presided over by a high-ranking mage. This is a hard condition, and now there are only Shado and Sergis in the project team. This is the so-called lack of skills.
If the other high mages in the Council of Elders can be brought into the project, although it may not necessarily significantly improve the project's research and development progress, it will have a huge impact on the speed of the experiment.
Now that Everriska's independence is a foregone conclusion, the elders should be able to take time to cooperate to complete the biggest overall situation of Everriska——
That is, the mystery lock.
"Simultaneously?"
As the elf who had spent the most time with Shado during this period, Sergis immediately understood Shado's intention, "Athos, do you want Ogus and the others to come over and help?"
"Yes, that's what I thought!"
"I think it's feasible. Even if you're not good at designing mythical locks, it would be good to just use it as a senior mage! I'll go find them!"
Sergis immediately became energetic, exchanged a few words with Diptatus, and left in a hurry.
…
Savage Valley Experimental Base.
Sergis is temporarily absent. Considering that basic research experiments on new myth locks based on the adaptive framework may be simultaneously conducted in the future, Shado now decisively directs the mage team headed by Diptatus to start the second phase of the previously planned experiment.
.
This stage is mainly to test the adaptability of various functions of the new lock. If the test results are not satisfactory, immediate adjustments are required.
The reason why the design was so fast before was largely because various functional designs could be borrowed from other puzzle cases and then applied to the adaptive framework puzzle.
This is like a video game on Earth being ported from one platform to another, such as Android to iOS.
Although the game can run normally on the previous, more mature platform, switching to the new platform requires further testing and improvements.
The so-called adaptive framework is such a new platform; the so-called basic research is actually writing a development manual for the new platform, so that future generations can continue to develop it based on it.
What Shado and the Diptatus team are doing now is to transplant an application from another platform without a development manual, relying solely on the experience and guidance of the platform creator.
Of course, the prospects of basic research are very broad, but this kind of research does not "make money". If you want to "make money", you still have to produce specific things.
…
The first thing Sha Duo tested was the function [Mystery Lock - Reshaping the Magic Network]. It can be said that the core of any Mystery Lock is to reshape the Magic Network in an area.
There may not be an adaptive framework, there may not be complex permission settings, and there may not be a preset spell pool, but without the Reshape Magic Network, the Mystery Lock cannot be called a "Mystery Lock".
The so-called reshaping of the Magic Network, in short, is to change the macroscopic state of the Magic Network strings in an area, making it a highly ordered independent individual.
But at the micro level, it is necessary to keep the magic network as it is as much as possible.
In other words, for people who cannot grasp the macro perspective of Mysuo, Mysuo seems to not exist at all in their eyes, but in fact it does exist, which creates an effect similar to a dimensionality reduction attack.
The adaptive framework created by Shado actually already has some functions of reshaping the magic network. Of course, in addition, the adaptive framework also comes with its own protection. This is why the Elders Council of Evereska was so easily convinced by him.
one of the reasons.
The advantages of the adaptive framework are so obvious and there are so many advantages. If we continue to build old-style cryptic locks, Everesca will have almost no advantage in the cryptic lock field compared with other countries.
But if a new Mystic Lock based on an adaptive frame is built, Everesca may have a chance to overtake in corners!
This cannot be said to be Shado's inducement to them, this is actually a win-win situation between him and Everriska.
…
The test experiment on reshaping the Magic Network function was conducted on the adaptive framework left over from the previous stage of adaptive framework demonstration experiment.
This time, Shado personally led the key steps of the spell, and other mages cooperated with him in casting the spell. However, he was not able to complete the shaping of the spell until Sergis arrived with Ogos, Eye of Terror and other elders.
The large number of spellcasting elements is one of the main features that distinguishes mythos from ordinary spells. Generally speaking, few elf mages will choose to create mythos alone. Instead, they will find others to cooperate, or let followers or subordinates act as spellcasting tools.
The same is true for today's test experiments. Although it is not a complete mystery, it is still extremely complicated. Due to the particularity of elf magic, the probability of the experiment participants making a mistake is actually very low.
The main reason is that the cost of experimental failure is too high, such as the current test experiment of reshaping the Magic Network function. Once it fails, even the adaptive framework must be re-created.
Not to mention that the magic network may be shaken or even damaged during the period, which will take time to smooth or repair.
This is actually the pain point of doing research. Outsiders don't know and often focus on the most conspicuous tremor, but they don't know that the effort before and after the experiment is much more than the experimental process itself!
As the spell was completed, the magic network in the experimental base shook rapidly, strange and crazy. Seeing this scene, Xia Duo could already foresee the imminent failure without waiting for the results to appear.
"Sergis! Help!"
At the same time that Shado spoke, Sekis had released his power and transformed into a saint form, and began to calm down the rioting magic network. As for the other elders, although they did not transform into a saint form, they were trying their best to eliminate experiments in the current state.
The impact of failure.
If basic research on a new type of mystery lock based on the adaptive framework is to be carried out simultaneously, the experimental design can be handled by Shado and Sergis, but the experimental process requires the participation of at least two high-ranking mages.
One presides over ritual spells, and the other does what Sekis did just now, as a last resort.
And if there are insufficient senior mages and elite mages in the basic research project team, additional senior mages will need to be substituted.
Fortunately, there are a total of eleven high mages in the Council of Elders, and the applied research project team currently led by Shado and Sergis can also be handed over to them.
In this way, he and Sergis can focus more on experimental design, analyzing results, and improving experiments.
