Chapter 3279 New Progress in Mysterious Locks: Lifespan for Achievements
Outside of Netheril, Shado uses computing power pool subsidies to encourage countries to relax restrictions on new mages. For every new mage, the host country can get more shares.
If you directly train the new mage yourself, you can choose to deduct all the subsidies from the computing power pool to the new mage. Although it requires some early investment, it does not need to train the new mage to a high level, as long as it can be trained to the level where the computing power can be used
It is enough to get subsidies from the pool.
Comparing the time it takes the elf to become a new mage and the time the elf can receive subsidies after becoming a new mage, this deal is really a good deal.
Once this kind of thing gets started, it will be difficult to stop. On the one hand, the high subsidies of the computing power pool make it difficult to give up, and on the other hand, of course, the spread of basic magic knowledge.
Xia Duo does not expect that all levels of knowledge will be popularized in the elf world to the bottom class who make up the absolute majority at once. It can be spread bit by bit.
For example, within ten years, basic magic knowledge including the advancement of new mages should be popularized, and within a hundred years, it should be popularized to the level of elite mages. At this level, it is no longer up to the above to have the final say.
Unless there is a massacre, it will be difficult to interrupt the process of popularization of magic, because one of the hallmarks of elite mages (high-level mages in the Nese magic system) is that they can carry out research independently.
In this case, even if the upper elves completely cut off the spread of all advanced knowledge, they can still develop from scratch just by relying on a large number of elite mages.
And the most important thing is that elite mages have reached the threshold of operating war weapons. Even if the upper elf wants to cause a massacre, it will not be that easy.
In this case, as long as foreign countries or countries provide a little assistance, it will be enough to change the color of the country's flag.
As for whether the emergence of a large number of elite mages will make the North Land and even the entire main plane more chaotic, Xia Duo thinks not. Both humans and elves are essentially social animals, and most individuals yearn for order.
of.
The key is whether there is such an order that can include so many elite mages. If it is possible, then no matter how many elite mages there are, there is no need to worry that they will cause the main plane to become more chaotic.
As for such an order, Xia Duo has already had a vision, and is transforming and realizing it bit by bit. He believes that such an order will definitely become popular.
…
Tower of Time, Nia Laboratory.
The transfer of citizens did not affect Niya's daily work. Even because she knew the truth in advance, Niya worked harder and almost never let go of any spare time.
This time, Xia Duo was suddenly called to the laboratory because Niya had just completed the design of a communication mystery lock with a million-level node count. Xia Duo was extremely excited after learning the news, and immediately put down what he was doing and rushed.
Came over.
As soon as he arrived at the laboratory and found Niya, he couldn't wait to ask: "How many nodes are there specifically? What are the test results? And weren't you studying the node mapping magic network array route before? Why did you return to the original one?
Route?"
"I was indeed studying the mapping magic network array before, but didn't you say that there will soon be an opportunity to promote the communication mystery lock to the elven world? The number of nodes of the current communication magic weapon should not be enough to support its expansion to the elven world, so
——”
Niya didn't say the next words, but how could Sha Duo not understand that it wasn't because he mentioned the expansion opportunity of Communication Mystery Lock in front of Niya before and showed too much expectation that Niya stopped temporarily.
It is truly suitable for future mapping magic network array research, but a solution that is destined to be eliminated was chosen just to cope with the subsequent expansion of the communication mystery.
Suddenly, Xia Duo seemed to have thought of something, stared into Niya's eyes tightly, and said in a serious tone: "Did you go to the time acceleration circle?"
He told Niya that the opportunity to expand the communication mystery lock was not long ago. This time is far from enough for Niya to complete the million-level node design plan, and the only way that Niya can complete this design is the time acceleration method.
Arranged.
"It's only two or three years, don't be so nervous." Niya held Xia Duo's hand and acted coquettishly.
Normally Niya rarely behaves like this. After all, they are both mages and an old married couple. But Niya's behavior now makes Xia Duo even more worried.
"Tell me the truth, how long have you been in there?"
"It's really only two or three years. There's no way to conduct high-energy experiments there. I've been in and out many times. I can't remember exactly how long I stayed there, but it certainly won't be more than three years. You wouldn't think of this idea.
Will it take me more than three years to design the determined backward plan?"
"That's not what I meant!" Of course Shado would not underestimate Niya, but he was really worried that Niya would consume too much life in the time acceleration circle.
Niya does not have any special bloodline. Without the application of life-extending spells, her lifespan is probably the normal lifespan of an ordinary human being. As bloodline technology has not yet achieved a breakthrough, Shado naturally does not want her to waste her lifespan too much.
Life extension spells are not omnipotent, and cannot extend a person's lifespan indefinitely. There are very few people in Netheril who have lived nearly three hundred years like Iolum, and the vast majority of Netherese mages can't live more than two years.
100 years old.
And Xia Duo, after many bloodline awakenings, even after experiencing the consumption of many journeys to the projection plane, the current perceived life span still exceeds a thousand years.
It's not that he only has a lifespan of a thousand years, but that it is difficult to perceive a thousand years later. In other words, without using any life extension spells, he can live for at least a thousand years.
Maybe after a thousand years it will be perceived that there are still thousands of years of life left.
In this case, of course he will be particularly concerned about Niya's abnormal consumption of life. He hopes that Niya can accompany him forever. Maybe in hundreds of thousands of years, the relationship between the two will naturally fade away, but at least not yet
.
Xia Duo told Niya very seriously: "Don't go there again!"
He is even considering whether to transfer all the time acceleration circles in the Tower of Time to the Floating City. Niya has the first authority in the Tower of Time. If she really wants to hide something from him, he will never find out.
As for the floating city, Xia Duo has the first authority. As long as the time acceleration circle is included in the control list, as long as Niya activates it, he will know it immediately and be able to stop it, instead of having to be late as he is now.
"I see."
Xia Duo said it seriously, and Niya naturally knew why Xia Duo was so serious. Although she felt that she might still use the time acceleration circle in the future, at least for now, she still agreed well.
"Stop talking about that, don't you want to know the number of new Mystery Lock nodes I designed? Let me tell you that there are a total of 1.2 million available nodes this time!"
"120 available nodes? Doesn't that mean a total of 3.6 million nodes?"
Xia Duo's eyes widened immediately, knowing that Niya might have underestimated her time in the time acceleration circle. You must know that the total number of nodes of the communication mystery lock currently in use is only 420,000.
There are only 140,000 actual available nodes! (Two-thirds of the nodes are left in the Tower of Time to ensure the Tower of Time’s absolute control over the Mystery Lock)
Nearly ten times the expansion was completed in one go. Xia Duo also specialized in the design of mythical locks at a university in the Heart Alliance. He was very aware of the difficulty span of the design.
This is not a matter of underestimating Niya, but with the number of nodes of this magnitude, testing alone may take two or three years, let alone design. Niya has definitely not told the truth before.
But at the moment, he doesn't want to pursue anything anymore, but he has made up his mind to transfer the time acceleration circle in the Tower of Time to the Floating City, so that Niya can no longer be exposed to such dangerous things.
It's really not worth exchanging one's lifespan for research results, at least Xia Duo doesn't want to exchange Niya's lifespan for anything.
Of course, if one day there is a breakthrough in bloodline technology that can make people live forever or even live forever, then he will not say anything if Niya uses such methods again, but not now!
