Chapter 1904 People-oriented, the highest achievement
Xia Duo did not participate, but smiled and watched the various performances of the elders trying to use the mystery lock. He was actually a little proud in his heart.
During the design process of Everesca Mystery Lock, he added many programming ideas on earth, including perfect permission settings, as well as "UI design" and "system log" with the most obvious experience perception.
Of course, the traditional Elf Lock has no UI design, almost no system logs, and the permission settings are sometimes confusing.
This makes it difficult for the successors of traditional Mysteries to have a clear understanding of the Mysteries, whether it is functions or permissions, after the original creator dies.
The former doesn't matter. As long as you inherit it long enough and are willing to spend time exploring, you can always figure out what functions it has. But once you don't understand the permissions, it will be a big problem.
At the most minor level, the heirs may not know who has the authority to use the secret lock, and they cannot cancel what should be cancelled. This means that their own property rights have been violated;
Speaking more broadly, if someone takes advantage of a loophole, it will be a matter of wealth and life.
Therefore, in the elven world, the inheritance of myth locks often involves an extremely complicated process, the most critical of which is of course the secret scroll that records various details of the myth lock. If this is lost, you can basically consider rebuilding a new myth lock.
However, for the Everesca Mystery Lock with Shaduo's participation, the system log assumes the responsibility of inheritance. Of course, its real role is to record any information related to the Mystery Lock, including the operation records of those with authority.
If there is a successor, you can know if anyone with illegal permissions is secretly using the secret lock by checking the system log.
If the successor is better at myth locks, it may be possible to update and adjust the myth locks based on the system logs.
The UI design, or the interaction design between the spellcaster and the mystery lock, focuses on ease of use.
Of course, this may be unnecessary for elves such as high mages who have more or less studied the mythos themselves.
But for elves who have never studied or even come into contact with the Myth Lock, this is simply the most perfect design, which allows them to quickly understand everything about the Myth Lock, of course within their authority.
In earth terms, the traditional Elf Mystery Lock is just a bunch of source code. High mages as creators or researchers are like programmers. They can understand it and know how to operate it, but for non-researchers, then
It's simply a nightmare.
Maybe it can be used simply and passively, but that's about it.
Xia Duo definitely can't do this. He agrees with the saying on Earth - "Technology is people-centered." In the magical world, magic applications must also be people-centered.
In fact, this is also an important sign of the standardization of magic, and Sha Duo attaches great importance to it, but for high-ranking mages, they may not really feel much.
Until Sekis announced the end of the trial experience, most of the eleven high mages of the Council of Elders only felt that it was more convenient than before, but they didn't feel much about the significance of such a design.
On the other hand, senior mages like Diptatus obviously have different experiences, but their right to speak is too small. As long as there is nothing wrong with the Mystic Lock itself, they will naturally not say much.
…
After the trial experience, the comprehensive test is of course not over. There is also the last process, which is to substitute the actual geographical data of Evereska to check whether there are any abnormalities.
In other words, the mystery lock being tested now is closer to a universal mystery lock and can be placed anywhere. However, the mystery lock still needs to be combined with the actual environment and geographical factors in order to be integrated with the magic network as much as possible. Reduce vulnerabilities as much as possible.
Similar to the formations in immortality novels, some formations in the novels require the consumption of spiritual stones, while others are formed by borrowing the power of heaven and earth and do not require additional energy.
To a certain extent, Mysuo is an artificial formation that fits the world and strives to pursue a natural and traceless formation.
The highest state is that there are no material nodes, and it seems to be completely integrated with the magic network environment. It will only appear when needed, and when it is not needed, it will be as if it does not exist at all.
At present, there is still one material node in the Everesca Mystery Lock, and there is really no way to reduce it. If possible, Shado would of course also hope to complete the highest achievement of the Mystery Lock, but the fact is that it cannot be completed.
If it weren't for the fact that there was conclusive evidence in the elven world, and that Sha Duo had personally witnessed the construction of a materialless node mystery, he would have been more willing to believe that the materialless node was a paradox.
No matter how much the Mystery Chain fits the world, its essence is a distortion of the Magic Network. If you want the appearance to look similar or even identical to the normal Magic Network, there must be some nodes inside it, which concentrate most of the twisted essence. This is also similar to the vacuum tail of a thermos bottle, which is difficult to eliminate.
A node is already the second highest achievement in design. Xia Duo has nothing to be dissatisfied about, just a little regretful.
…
There were no surprises in the last process of the test. Of course, regardless of whether there were any surprises, the test is considered passed. It is nothing more than the degree of compatibility with the local environment.
Fortunately, Chateau and Sergis completed the survey of Everesca's geography at the beginning of the design and took it into consideration during the design.
The final result did not surprise him.
"Athos, thank you so much. I know that without you, I would not be able to have this Mysterious Lock!"
It was Sekis who spoke, and as a researcher, he was the only one who best understood the huge role Shado played in the New Mystery Lock project.
Sergis not only thanked himself, he also asked other members of the Council of Elders to give due respect and gratitude to Shado for his efforts.
"Andre, Sian, you should all thank Athos. Without him, it would have taken me who knows how many years to complete the design of the Mystery Lock!"
In fact, it is not just the design and research, including the overall arrangement of the project, and even the previous discovery of the devil that allowed Evereska to obtain independent qualifications in advance, it is largely thanks to Shado.
It's just that Xia Duo has always been relatively indifferent to honor and other things. He values actual benefits more, so he said jokingly:
"Xian, if you really want to thank me, quickly find those tea tree seeds I mentioned before."
Although Xia Duo's tone seemed to be joking, he was extremely serious in his heart, and he was somewhat urging.
Now we are ready to return to the main plane. The tea seeds that Sai'an was asked to find before have not been found yet, let alone the fine tea seeds from Uvellon, which are completely gone.
"Don't worry, Athos, I will go to Uvelun in person tomorrow, and I won't come back until I get the tea seeds you want!"
Sai'an was certainly joking when he said this, but there was a sense of seriousness in the joke, which showed that he was going to make collecting tea seeds the next most important task.
Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction and drank tea with the elders while chatting about Evereska's development plan after independence.
