Arcane Lord

Two days later, the college approved Xia Duo's new project application. However, there was no movement from the Alliance Technical Committee, but Xia Duo didn't take it too seriously.

Support from the alliance is of course the best. If not, it will not affect the advancement of his current project.

But there is a saying that goes like this - "Each time comes and heaven and earth work together." Less than a week had passed since the college approved Xia Duo's new project application, and a notice came from the Alliance Technical Committee -

Provide three levels of support.

This is the third level of the alliance's official support for important private projects. After that, there is only verbal encouragement, and the third level of support does not involve many physical objects.

Of course, that is relative to the alliance. For Xia Duo, this part of the support is no less than the independent project fund of the college, and what he values ​​​​more is actually the non-material benefits——

Such as remote access rights to the libraries of major universities in the alliance, and application channels for special technologies, etc.

These cannot be exchanged for money or resources. It is easy to say that library access rights can be obtained as long as you are willing to take the time to pass the exam for each school, or obtain it through cooperation with the school.

However, the application channels for special technologies are only available to the technical committee. In other words, no matter where the channels are obtained, they still need to be approved by the technical committee.

For example, if the latest version of the Mystery Lock Arcane component that Sha Duo wanted so much was just the Mystery Lock component, he was 80 to 90 percent sure that he would be able to apply for it.

As for the technical details, the latest version may not be available, but one that is a few versions behind may be able to apply.

It can be said that being recognized by the technical committee is the dream of every Red Heart Alliance researcher. This is not only honor and prestige, but also has practical benefits that researchers cannot refuse.

…

Chixin University, library.

As soon as Xia Duo received the notice from the technical committee, he rushed here immediately. The remote access permission of the library is not available everywhere, but needs to be verified by a specific mystery lock component in a specific place.

Generally speaking, library permissions need to be verified in the library, including Chixin University. After he graduates, he has only two options if he wants to check the collection of books in the Chixin University library.

One is to go to the school to check it in person, and the other is to obtain remote access permissions, and then find a library within the alliance and complete the identity verification before remote access.

Of course, this does not mean that major universities will upload their libraries to the Mystery Lock. The current Mystery Lock of the Red Heart Alliance can indeed upload information, but what it can store is extremely limited.

It seems to be a lack of storage media or storage methods. This is actually a problem that troubles Xia Duo. For the time being, he can't find a good solution.

However, he at least understands what the problem is. It seems that the Red Heart Alliance has not thought about this problem now. This may also be a characteristic of the magical world. There are too many spells or media that can store text, sounds and even images.

And these storages actually preserve text, sounds and even images intact. Only in all major planes can there be a folk saying that "image retention" cannot be tampered with (projection spells can be used to create new images).

In Xia Duo's view, this actually means that there is no unified encoding method for information, which makes the information storage in the magical world very diverse, which to a certain extent reduces the enthusiasm of researchers.

But problems are always problems. Without a unified information processing method, all kinds of information cannot be integrated into the same system and managed uniformly.

What's more serious is that this also greatly affects the storage efficiency of information.

Xia Duo speculated that there was no online library, maybe because of this, or because the alliance was worried that the online library would be unsafe, but in any case, Xia Duo himself hoped for such a thing.

When he returns to the main plane, he will also try to build a more complete online information database.

As for now, he can only come to the library reading room obediently, verify his identity and then go to other university libraries in the form of projection.

The first place he tried was the Erintal University where Professor Via was located. Although this university and the Red Heart University both belonged to the Red Heart Alliance, strictly speaking, one belonged to Yin Erfalang and the other belonged to the Red Heart Tribe. There were still some differences.

It's just that the Red Heart Alliance is gradually moving toward integration, otherwise it would be impossible for Sha Duo to visit a university library in another country while sitting at home.

Soon, the projection creation was completed, but it was different from what he expected. He originally thought that he might create a projection himself and project it over. The reality is that the alliance is more rigorous in this regard than he imagined.

The projection was provided by Elinthal University. What he projected was only perception. If you wanted to find books, you couldn't do it yourself. You had to operate the projection. There was such an intermediate layer out of thin air.

If he wants to do something bad, he can't do it at all. This is a bit similar to Xia Duo's hometown, watching the surveillance and directing the waiters on the other side to do things. Once the request is unreasonable, it is impossible for others to carry it out.

Of course, the projections provided by Elinthal are not waiters with autonomous consciousness. As long as Shado does not engage in risk control operations, Elintal University may not even know what information he is looking for.

…

Facing an entire library that was almost the same as Chixin University, the first thing Sha Duo looked for was Professor Via's writings. It wasn't that he couldn't trust Tutu, but that Tutu also heard about it from his friends.

As for Tutu Tuto's friend at Erintal University, he doesn't necessarily know Professor Via very well. After several intervals, the information transmission may have been distorted.

So Xia Duo decided to do a personal search. As expected, this search led him to find something different. Professor Via's latest book three years ago——

"Research on the Formation and Evolution Mechanism of Mysterious Nodes in the Ocean of Magic Network Strings"

Whether it is a modern mystery lock, a traditional mystery lock, or a primitive mystery lock, they all have nodes. The only difference is whether there are nodes anchored on the material level.

According to Professor Via's research, the Mystery Node is not static, but will undergo some unknown changes over time.

In fact, this is not a very new problem. Many researchers and even ancient mages have discovered it in the past, but what can be discovered about the same phenomenon that is different is a reflection of the researcher's ability.

There is no doubt that Professor Via is not an ordinary researcher. Although he has not been able to study the complete evolution mechanism of the formation and evolution of the myth locks, he has also summarized some rules based on the existing known myth locks.

It's a pity that Professor Via didn't seem to pursue further research.

Shado quickly flipped through the book and couldn't help but sigh, maybe Professor Via just wanted to inspire other researchers in the alliance, or maybe——

This book was published three years ago. Perhaps Professor Via is still researching this field now!

The formation and evolution mechanism of mystery nodes may seem to have nothing to do with Sha Duo's current project, but in fact it is more closely related. From the shape evolution mechanism of mystery nodes, a general law of transformation of mystery nodes may be found.

The so-called "universal myth lock transformation law" is actually to transform a mystery lock without material nodes into a mystery lock with material nodes, or vice versa.

As long as the mystery nodes are involved, basic research on the formation and evolution mechanism of the mystery nodes like Professor Via's is of course of great use.

Even if it turns out to be useless in the end, it can save Xia Duo a lot of useless work, because he also has ideas in this area and will conduct research in this area. If it doesn't work, he can think of other ways.
