Arcane Lord

"the day after tomorrow?!"

Hearing this time, Niya's voice couldn't help but raise a higher pitch. The new test paper that Xia Duo took out was almost half of the test paper.

But having already had experience, she is still very familiar with how much content is included in a test paper and the time required to complete a test paper.

At this time, almost all the time other than sleeping is filled up!

"Xia Duo—" Niya looked at Xia Duo pitifully, "Can you give me more time? I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

"no!"

Xia Duo decisively rejected Niya, "If you want to complete studies that ordinary people cannot complete in a short period of time, you naturally need to work harder than ordinary people."

After saying that, Xia Duo felt that he was too harsh on Niya by saying this, and his tone softened a lot, "I will always be with you during this period. Except when you are doing the test papers, do you have any questions?" You can ask me about it.”

"Oh well."

Niya knew that if she wanted to gain something, she had to give something. She didn't really resist Sha Duo's teaching method, but she just hadn't adapted to this high-intensity learning state.

But if Xia Duo was with him, it wouldn't be so unbearable.

…

Next, Xia Duo changed the image of the projection window to a blue sky, and Niya began to correct the test paper in front of this bright window.

During this period, Niya would ask Xia Duo any difficult-to-understand questions, and Xia Duo was not impatient at all. One of them studied hard and the other explained seriously. Time passed quickly in such a fulfilling process.

Of course, in addition to studying with Niya, Sha Duo's main focus is still on the follow-up design of the floating city. Now he has only completed the design of the flight control system and the repair and maintenance system.

There will be more spell designs for functional systems in the future that he needs to complete bit by bit. It is difficult to do this for others, so he can only do it slowly by himself.

It's not that Xia Duo doesn't want to help others, but that there is really no one available.

But fortunately, as long as he completes the design of the main systems of this experimental floating city, it will be much more convenient to leave the subsequent improvement work to others.

Two years later, the first batch of high-level mages under the new system may have been born, and this group of people may also be the first batch of full-time researchers in the floating city.

"It's not bad to just be the founder!" Xia Duo thought quite proudly.

…

On the other side, Horst Research Laboratory.

A group of people crowded into the not-so-spacious magic laboratory. In the center was a set of mithril components specially designed to verify related issues.

At this time, this complex set of mithril components, which is roughly a hollow sphere structure, is emitting a glowing light and looks quite extraordinary.

But the expressions on the faces of the onlookers seemed to be dissatisfied, especially the leader of the research room, Master Horst, whose face was even darker.

After observing for a moment, Horst paused the energy flow of the mithril components, turned to look at one of the onlookers, and asked:

"How is the situation? Is the interference in areas 14 and 16 still as serious as before?"

"It's more serious than before! After accurate measurement, the energy fluctuations after the interference in these two areas have exceeded the mission limit by at least 5 times, compared with only 3 times before."

The respondent glanced at the other person and saw that the other person had no response, so he continued: "In addition to the energy interference in areas 14 and 16, energy resonance between circuits has occurred in at least sixteen areas such as 25, 25, 42, and 41, directly This has led to the loss of functionality in this large area.”

As he spoke, the respondent pointed to somewhere in the hollow sphere in the center of the laboratory, and his expression became serious. "I don't know that this improvement failed to solve the problems discovered last time. Instead, it added many new problems."

When Horst heard this, his face was a little ugly, but he was not too depressed. After all, it was really difficult for them to face such a task that they had never encountered before.

After thinking for a while, he asked everyone: "Then do you think there is something wrong with our current thinking?"

Everyone was silent, but Horst was not angry. Instead, he forced out a smile and said, "Don't be silent! No matter what, we must continue to do this task. Please think of a way and express your thoughts!"

"Then I'll tell the truth!"

Another person stood up and said, "I think there is nothing wrong with the current thinking. I believe everyone can see that although the tasks given above are separate, if nothing else, they should be in the same system. Let's proceed There is nothing wrong with overall simulation in theory. There are so many unsolvable problems now. Either these problems are indeed beyond our capabilities, or-"

"say no more!"

Horst immediately interrupted the other party, "Since the above has given us such a task, all we can do is try our best to complete it instead of looking for other reasons."

Horst's words caused silence in the laboratory again, and it took a long time for someone to come up with a new suggestion:

"Then can we do it one task at a time like we did before? That's how the higher ups issue tasks anyway!"

"No!" Horst expressed his objection again. "The plans submitted individually for the previous mission have all been rejected. Now it's still like this. Don't you want the funds for the next quarter?"

"Well--"

"Forget it, think about it again, I'll go find Mark and the others to find out."

After saying that, Horst left the laboratory.

The others couldn't help but sigh in unison when they saw this. For a task that their research room couldn't complete, the other two independent research rooms probably couldn't get any benefits either.

"Don't be downcast. I have a new idea. Mickey and Peppa Pig will help me process the mithril components. The others can rest for a while! Jonathan, tidy up this place and wait for the next test."

The speaker was a mid-level mage from Horst's laboratory, who was usually very prestigious. Now that he stood up, others were convinced and started to take action.

…

Mark Research Laboratory.

Horst came here as his first stop. Unexpectedly, in addition to Mark, he also met Steele, the head of another mass production design and research laboratory.

"Horst, you're here, and we were just about to find you! I didn't expect you to come to us first!" Steele said with a look of surprise.

Compared to Horst, who was already an intermediate mage under the old system of the Tower of Time, Steele and Mark were both mid-level mages born from the low-level mage training class under the new system.

Although the two of them thought that they were not inferior to "veteran" mid-level mages like Horst in all aspects, after all, they were older than them in terms of qualifications and age. At this time, the problem was facing, if there was an old senior with or in Holding it in front can make them feel more at ease.

What Steele and Horst said about going to find each other was not entirely polite. He and Mark had just proposed to test Horst, but they didn't expect Horst to be more impatient than them.

On the other side, when he saw Steele and Mark both there, Horst knew that the other party might also have encountered a problem, so he didn't want to say any more vague probing words and went straight to the point:

"No more gossip, you must have guessed the reason why I'm here. Regarding this series of tasks, I want to cooperate with you and complete them together!"
