Chapter 2966 The computing power pool is more suitable for the competition
————It will be later~~

The next day, the first project of the snow melting competition officially began.
Arcane Puzzle was originally a chess game played in Shado's hometown. Later, he added some magic duel elements and recommended it to her teacher Princess Shia through Niya, who was the chief talker of the Seven Towers at the time.
Since then, every snow melting competition has included the Arcane Puzzle project, which is why this project has been widely spread in the North.
Over the past few years, many outstanding chess players have emerged among the elves.
Today, Shado and Niya came to Severton to watch the competition. Naturally, they would not miss this new project brought by Shado. Similarly, like yesterday, most of the contestants in Netheril today were from Gustav High School.
tower.
In other words, possessing elven blood!
This is actually a continuation of yesterday's silent protest. Not only yesterday, but today, according to the council's pre-discussed decision, every game after that will give priority to people with elven blood.
For this reason, even if you lose some games, you won’t hesitate!
In the audience, Shado and Niya were chatting and watching the game. The two sides currently fighting on the field were from Netheril and Erlan. What a clever combination.
"Who do you think can win between the two of them?" Niya asked.
"From the perspective of chess power alone, the elves are slightly better, but the arcane puzzle is not just chess, it also involves a spell duel. In this regard, humans have a slight upper hand, and the final result is really hard to say."
Xia Duo did not show any preference just because the players on the field were humans. In terms of pure chess prowess, the elves were indeed better. Even Xia Duo himself was inferior without the help of his brain.
But as he said, the arcane puzzle is essentially a spell showdown with chess pieces inside. If one party has absolutely overwhelming experience and skills in spell showdowns, even if they don't understand the rules of chess at all, they may not be unable to win.
The chess pieces in the arcane puzzle have a huge advantage in attacking each other. Under the same spell duel level, the first player will often win, but the one who is killed is not completely without the ability to resist.
It is also possible to counterattack by manipulating chess pieces through various techniques. If the counterattack is successful, the opponent's operation will be invalid, and instead the chess game idea will be exposed.
But no matter what, chess power still has a very strong bonus for winning duels. Otherwise, it would be better to cancel this project and go directly to spell duels.
Soon, a key turning point appeared in the game. After many difficult attempts to capture pieces, the elf players exposed their game ideas. In the end, the human players seized the opportunity to complete a fatal move and won the victory.
Although it was only a single game, it still won unanimous cheers and congratulations from the audience. At this moment, he was not a mixed-race human with a sensitive identity in the elf world, but a puzzle player who surpassed the elves with perseverance and wisdom.
This is the charm of competition. It makes people involuntarily ignore the player's identity, gender, appearance, race and many other external factors, and only appreciate the player's competitive level.
If you play well and win the game, even the most demanding audience will not hesitate to give you the most enthusiastic cheers.
But after cheering, one still couldn't help but think of the opponent's identity as a mixed-race human, which caused an inexplicable thought to continue to breed and ferment among the elves until it could no longer be hidden, completely shattering worldly prejudices.
…
In the following games, Xia Duo did not miss almost every game, but he had too many things to do. The main body seemed to be rushing to catch up, traveling between the territory, the Tower of Time, and Seventon.
turn around.
There are snow melting competitions and territories here in Sevington, and there are also motorcycle design competitions and internal arcane competitions over there in the Tower of Time. Shado can't help but say some words of hope and encouragement in front of the territorial residents and members of the Tower of Time.
Of course, the main body stayed in Severington to watch the competition with Niya most of the time. The Snow Melting Competition was of high standard, and the level of the players was of course increasing year by year almost visibly to the naked eye.
Many games, even from Xia Duo's perspective, are very pleasing to the eye.
…
In Everesca, while the main body was leisurely watching the game, the avatar could not rest. Affected by the snowmelt competition, the number of mages connected to the computing power pool dropped off a cliff at this time.
There have been no problems with the sub-networks in the countries that have been launched, but there is a big trouble on the main network -
The mainnet load has reached a very dangerous state and may not be supported at any time!
The reason is that most of the people who access the main network are local mages in Evereska, but now most of the local mages are busy watching the games. These elves don’t even need to go to Sevington, they can go directly to Everesca.
You can watch the live broadcast.
Compared with watching live and only relying on your own perception to obtain game information, in the broadcast, you can directly see the deeper information obtained by higher-level spellcasters through specialized detection spells.
There are two main advantages of the venue. One is that there are many spectators and the atmosphere is great, and the other is that you can watch whatever you want.
Although it is possible to see deeper information during the game during the broadcast, considering the efficiency of real-time broadcasting, the viewing angle is relatively limited, and it is not possible for the audience to watch whatever they want. What the audience can see depends entirely on the perspective of the broadcaster.
Some elves like to watch it live, while others like to watch the broadcast, or even check more detailed related records afterwards, but in any case, this has resulted in the local mages of Evereska greatly supporting the computing power pool Lingsi Network.
reduce.
On the third day of the Snow Melting Competition, in the gateway control hall of the Lingsi Network Research Center at the alliance headquarters, a group of mages who had been left to work overtime were already in a state of confusion.
"Consultant Xia Duo, what should we do now? Temporarily shut down the computing power pool? Or find a way to borrow resources from other countries?" a mage asked.
But this problem is also a headache for Xia Duo. It is obviously his responsibility as an operator to shut down the computing power pool. And borrowing resources from other countries is actually to temporarily transfer the users who are originally only in the sub-networks of various countries to
Come to the mainnet.
This will immediately solve the problem of insufficient number of mainnet users, but——
In this way, the biggest weakness of the main network is exposed. Even if it is lucky enough to survive this time, in the future, as more and more mages from various countries access the computing power pool and divide the network, this weakness of the main network will inevitably be affected.
They deliberately manipulated it.
For example, when Everesca has real-life activities, the number of accessors decreases, and the load capacity decreases, countries instead increase the number of accessors in their countries to impact the main network load.
In this way, Lingsi Network Center can compromise on certain issues, such as increasing the dividend ratio of each country.
If the future public computing power pool really evolves into this situation, then the so-called "mainnet" will be completely reduced to a dispensable decoration. Countries can use it if they need it, and completely ignore it if they don't need it.
