According to Xia Duo's vision, most of the users of the public computing power pool are spell casters below elite mages, or ordinary mages.

For these mages, the rewards for accessing the public computing resource pool are based on their own level. If their level is low, the expenditure of the Northland Alliance will be correspondingly lower.

Although elite mages and above need to be paid higher remuneration, their number is far less than ordinary mages, and the actual remuneration required is very limited.

But on the other hand, the higher the level of the mage, the greater the benefits from using the public computing resource pool. It is precisely that the public computing resource pool charges based on time.

A high-level mage and a mage apprentice charge the same amount for one hour each, but the benefits are completely different. Obviously, the more high-level mage uses it, the more advantageous it is.

This can attract more elite and above spellcasters to invest in it.

Of course, it is also because there are many elite and above spellcasters connected to the computing power pool, which ensures a certain level of high-end attributes of the computing power pool, which can also become a point that attracts higher-level mages to use it.

As long as you use it, the prerequisite is that you have connected to the computing power pool, and you have already started to provide computing power to others, and you can get corresponding rewards, but you still have to pay extra for your own use.

Remuneration and payment are not conflated but are calculated independently.

As long as the proportion of accessors at each level is known in advance, you can easily calculate a remuneration and charging standard that can net income for the computing power pool.

This standard can be adjusted regularly, or it can be dynamically adjusted in real time. No matter what, if it is operated properly, it will be a good business with huge profits.

Of course, considering that it is officially operated by the Northland Alliance, the profit attribute can be slightly weaker, but maintaining its own operation is not a problem at all.

After listening to Xia Duo's story, Septalis secretly communicated with several other representatives and felt that this plan was feasible, but the last and most critical issue was whether to build this public computing resource pool. a question.

…

The final question was asked by Erlan on behalf of Osmantus, "Consultant Shado, just now you said that the essence of the Lingsi Network is that the accessor builds a virtual thinking model by sharing part of the subconscious, so I still have two concerns -

"One is whether the accesser's shared subconscious will expose his or her privacy, and the other is that with so many spellcasters accessing the same Lingsi network, will all accessors in the entire network be harmed because of a single accessor?"

The previous problems are actually just appetizers. If it is not technically feasible, we can increase investment and continue research. It is not the point that the income and expenditure cannot be balanced. The significance of this project is far beyond what can be measured by money.

Its true meaning is to integrate the spellcasters of the North and create a powerful tool that can improve the efficiency of magic research. Even if it operates at a loss, it is completely worth it.

but--

The two concerns raised by Representative Ye Erlan at this moment have become the real threshold for whether this project can finally be implemented. Xia Duo has long thought about this, but he is not 100% sure that he can convince the alliance's top brass.

In other words, it is essentially to persuade the five major countries to support it.

The current Northland Alliance does need some big moves to distract the attention of the demons, but it does not require a public computing resource pool. It is information warfare anyway, and it can be achieved with fictional projects.

Therefore, Xia Duo knew that his next answer would most likely lead to completely different results. At this moment, he could not help but feel a little nervous. The public computing power pool was of great significance to the Northland Alliance and the countries in the Northland, and it was the same for him.

The name "public" is reflected in this.

“Everyone, I don’t deny that what Representative Osmantus is worried about may indeed happen!”

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo spoke slowly. He did not deny Representative Ye Erlan's concerns, because this was an objective reality, and reality was the most difficult evidence to deny. Even if he got through it temporarily, he would definitely suffer backlash in the future.

Moreover, the security issues of a large-scale Lingsi network that exists as an extensive public computing resource pool are not a trivial matter, and are serious enough to potentially affect the safety of the entire Northland.

If he cannot give an answer that satisfies all parties on this issue, I am afraid that this project will not be able to actually move forward.

However, Xia Duo is not ignorant of the security issues of Lingsi Network, but he is not sure whether his answer can satisfy the countries in the North.

"Let's talk about the first concern of Representative Osmantus - the privacy of the access users. I think before raising the question, it is best to define the problem first. What do you think is privacy?"

Without waiting for several representatives to answer, Xia Duo directly gave his own definition, "In a broad sense, personal information that is inconvenient to be disclosed to the outside world is privacy, regardless of whether the value of this information is large or small.

“But with an epoch-making product like the public computing resource pool, I think spellcasters in the North can be more open and don’t need to be so sensitive to privacy issues.

"Of course, I am not saying that privacy is not important, but I think it is not difficult to accept that some privacy that has little impact is exchanged for an epoch-making product such as a public computing power pool."

Speaking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but think of his hometown. In such a modern society, people have long been accustomed to trading privacy for convenience. Of course, it is best if there is a choice.

Spellcasters in the magical world definitely have choices. If they don't want to expose their privacy, they can choose not to use the Lingsi network, or choose a low-perception depth access method. No one and no one can force them to use it.

…

At this time, Osturmans followed up on what Sha Duo said and asked another question: "Then, Consultant Sha Duo, to what extent does Lingsi Network expose private information? Is there a clear standard?"

"Regarding this issue, I already explained it when I submitted the mind link spell used to build the Lingsi network. Here I will say it again. The degree of privacy exposure is related to the depth of perception of the Lingsi network connector selected by the accesser."

Xia Duo casually took out a Lingsi network connector and explained while showing it: "For example, this standard connector of the Tower of Time has the lowest depth of perception at level 1, and the proportion of shared subconscious can only reach the level of meta-thinking. This kind of The level of sharing will not expose any privacy except the meta-thinking itself.

“After Level 2 and Level 3, the depth of perception gradually increases. The plural meta-thinking shared by Level 2 can aggregate a low-intelligence state, but the degree of exposure to personal privacy is similar to Level 1, limited to the meta-thinking itself.

"Level 3 depth of perception is an order of magnitude higher than the amount of meta-thinking shared at Level 2. This level of sharing inevitably involves one's own knowledge. The specific amount of sharing depends on the user's own psychological protection. The minimum is only public degree of knowledge.

"This level of learning information cannot even be called privacy, but is information that the accessor himself thinks is generally known to the public. And if the accessor does not care about the exposure of his own knowledge at all, the level 3 depth of perception can completely share all Knowledge, of course, this extreme situation is completely impossible to happen. "
