Arcane Lord

As the miracle faded away, the signing ceremony of the new covenant added to the Holy Day celebration came to an end. Although the miracle was a little unexpected, the relevant procedures had been determined long ago.

Next was the carnival, but that had nothing to do with Xia Duo. He was in a bad mood at the moment and insisted on leaving despite the persuasion of Badiga and others.

Niya did not stay either. The celebration process had come to this point and they had nothing to do all day. Xia Duo originally planned to go back in the afternoon, but now it was just a moment earlier.

…

After returning to the South Territory, Xia Duo and Niya showed up at the central square of Savile Town, which was considered not to miss the celebration activities of their own territory.

The interior of the renovated central square is more than twice as large as normal. Of course, this is just the size shown now. If it is not for maintaining the festive atmosphere, it can actually be larger.

And there are mages from the Tower of Time on site to control it. Whenever there are special performances that require venues or midsummer new activities that are integrated into the celebration process, additional venues will be added to cooperate with these activities.

When Xia Duo and Nia arrived, they saw a brand new venue being "released" from the crowd. Then, under the auspices of the emcee, the eager adult citizens came to the center of the new venue and began to accept the new admission assessment.

Like the new admission in the first half of the year, the adults who passed the new admission in Zhongxia were also granted "admission letters" that did not allow them to enter the Tower of Time immediately.

At this stage, Xia Duo is still preparing to start training with children. If there were no sudden incident in the Tianshui Trinity, perhaps adults would be selectively accepted for admission next year.

But now there are more new citizens from the Tianshui Trinity, and they must first accept the children of the right age among these people, and before they are accepted, they need to undergo naturalization assessments.

When everything is done, it will be almost the year after next, but by then, even if there are new citizens joining, Xia Duo will consider recruiting adults.

After all, in another year, the number of new mages in the Tower of Time will definitely be exaggerated, and the apprentices of the previous three-year period have grown up one after another.

In the future, although from a long-term and overall perspective, the territory and the Tower of Time are still in a state of development, in terms of the training of new mages, it is now in a state where continuous harvests can be made.

The policy of expanding the enrollment of apprentices after the reform of the Tower of Time has lasted for several years, and it can be said that a preliminary mature education system has been established.

When the people who come out of the normal teaching system of the Tower of Time reach the level of high-level mages (actually arcane masters), this education system will be truly mature.

After that, professional education will be a matter of course.

…

After watching a midsummer new recruit trial, Xia Duocai and Niya returned to the Tower of Time. The celebration outside was still going on, but neither of them cared about this break time, but quickly devoted themselves to their respective work.

Niya is currently familiarizing herself with the details of the new version of the communication maze, and she can start building it after the midsummer festival, while Xia Duo is starting a new phase of research projects.

After returning from "studying abroad" in the Red Heart Alliance, he now has too many projects to do, but he still prefers the plane, an area that the Red Heart Alliance has less research on.

Before studying the plane field, Xia Duo planned to make a magic computer first. After all, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The magic computer can be used not only in the plane field research, but also in other fields that involve calculation.

Here, "calculation" is not limited to digital calculation, but also includes the combination calculation of spell elements.

This is based on the lowest element characteristics of the magic computer, which is very different from the classical computer on Earth, and is more like a quantum computer that uses quantum characteristics.

Although Xia Duo has not yet had any specific plan for a magic computer, he has been thinking about the relevant ideas for a long time, but he has not been able to do further research due to the lack of experimental environment.

Now most of the conditions are in place, and it is time to start the magic computer project.

Speaking of which, when he was in the Red Heart Alliance, Xia Duo also submitted the design ideas related to the magic computer to the technical committee, but the response he received was that it was not of high value, which made him depressed for a long time.

The technical committee's reply that it was not of high value means that he can only study it on his own, and cannot get official support from the alliance, whether it is personnel, funds, or experimental environment.

Unless he could come up with a mature design and prove its application potential, a little idea alone would not be enough to attract the attention of the Technical Committee.

You should know that the Red Heart Alliance has entered a modern society where magic is developing. From the perspective of the main plane, the number of great arcanists alone is conservatively estimated to be millions, and there are even more spellcasters under them.

It can be said that almost every moment, there are alliance members who submit research ideas for new fields and new directions to the Technical Committee. Some ideas are very feasible and have great application prospects, but some may just be a thought of an elf, and he himself is not sure!

If every idea is supported, then the alliance will not develop, and only engage in these fantasy projects.

Generally speaking, certain results need to be achieved before the alliance will support it, just like the Lingsi Network submitted by Xia Duo at the beginning, which has been verified by the competition. The most important thing is that Xia Duo registered it in the form of a patent at that time, instead of just applying for support.

Later, the patent was approved and support came down, which confirmed the advantages of the technology.

Of course, the Red Heart Alliance does not require any new ideas to have results before supporting them, but the technical committee is facing the public and has to make such restrictions.

Professional research institutions do not need to do this. As long as they submit a research application in a certain field or direction, it is easier than private individuals to obtain official support from the alliance.

Moreover, the main job of many research institutions is to receive official funding from the alliance to conduct various basic or purely exploratory research. These studies often do dozens or even hundreds without any breakthrough results, but they are still done.

It's a pity that Xia Duo's weight in the Heart Alliance was not important enough at that time. Although he had achieved achievements beyond most of his peers, he was still far inferior to the real masters. Otherwise, it would have been possible to make up a random project and get official support. of.

In addition to the lack of preliminary results, another reason why Xia Duo's design ideas were not recognized was more realistic - at that time, the Red Heart Alliance did not have much demand for computing power.

If there is no use for something, no one will be willing to invest real money to study it, even if it is hyped up to the sky.

If the design idea proposed by Xia Duo at that time was about an automatic experimental machine, then it would be possible to get official support.

Because at the time of the Red Heart Alliance, the shortcoming of the development of magic was that experimental verification could not keep up with theoretical progress. If there was something that could automatically conduct experimental verification, the Red Heart Alliance would be willing to create it even if it was a rip-off.

Unfortunately not.
