Throne of Magical Arcana

Looking at Heidi's hopeful eyes, Lucien smiled slightly and said, "It is indeed a very crude and impractical artificial intelligence..."

ah? After hearing what the teacher said, Heidi's expression immediately collapsed, and the magicians who participated in the production, such as Cherry, Ophelia, Lowe, and Black, also showed frustrated expressions.

Sprint was happy to hit Heidi, who was usually carefree at this time: "Look, the teacher also thinks this is basically a toy, and it is too bulky and too big for ordinary people to use."

In his opinion, this artificial intelligence is very poor in other aspects. The only thing worthy of praise is that it does not need a magician to operate, and it completely relies on electric energy to start and run. Therefore, it only needs an ordinary person who can understand the operation manual to complete it. It has been calculated, but the problem is that it is too big, too heavy, too precise and too expensive, and it is not suitable for promotion at all.

"My auxiliary calculation circle is only at the level of an intermediate magician. If you replace it with the advanced calculation circle in the laboratory or the teacher's legendary level auxiliary circle, it can blow up your artificial intelligence in shame. Hehe, the teacher's mental arithmetic ability can defeat it perfectly..." Splinter said unreasonably.

He is not hostile to Heidi. On the contrary, he thinks that Annick and Heidi are his few true friends. However, he thinks that the more he hits Heidi at this time, the more motivated Heidi will be to improve artificial intelligence. You will definitely be motivated to fight and will not admit defeat!

He has always had this kind of character, but the feeling of rebelliousness is much less.

Heidi gave him a hard look, and secretly vowed that she must create a perfect artificial intelligence, which would completely defeat Splinter's auxiliary calculation circle, so that his mouth could not be closed when he opened it, and his mouth could not be closed. Jaws dropped to the floor!

Elestine and Nordaniel wanted to comfort Heidi, but they couldn't find the right words because they didn't understand the field of artificial intelligence. Katrina and Leilia gave a thumbs up encouragingly, indicating that Heidi should go to the next step. It's amazing to be able to do this in one go!

A playful smile appeared on Natasha's face next to her. According to her understanding of Lucien, straightforward criticism is often a precursor to praise, while words of praise at the beginning are often connected with rebuttals and tactful accusations. To describe it in his own words, this is called "subtlety".

"...Although this artificial intelligence has many shortcomings, the spirit and direction it embodies are enough to match the Arcane Award." Lucien continued as expected.

ah?

What?

Heidi rubbed her ears subconsciously, suspecting that she had auditory hallucinations. The simple and impractical artificial intelligence contains the value equivalent to the Evans Arcane Award? This is not a joke, is it?

Lucien laughed and said: "There is no doubt that it is simple and impractical, but in the most ancient era of magic, the first spells constructed by our ancestors obtained patterns from magical creatures were also simple and impractical. In our eyes, they may be so ridiculous and sad that they must use the spiritual power of the fourth and fifth rings to cast a spell that has been simplified to the apprentice level, but can we deny their contribution because of this?"

"No..." Lazar answered tacitly.

Splinter, Annick and others also nodded lightly. Without the ridiculous and impractical efforts of the magicians at the beginning, there would be no magic civilization today!

"So, the achievements of arcane and magic are developed step by step. Heidi, Cherry, Lowe, Blake, and Ophelia started from the design concept of artificial intelligence blank, and they have also come to today's world step by step. The first finished product is not easy, although it is still crude, bulky and heavy, but the thought and direction it contains are extremely valuable." Lucien said with a solemn expression.

Heidi finally confirmed that the teacher was praising herself, and immediately raised her chin triumphantly, and then blushed slightly embarrassedly: "Teacher, the design concept is thanks to your guidance."

"My guidance is very limited, it's just a concept, and the specific content is basically completed by you." Lucien glanced around Heidi, Cherry and the others, "If you don't consider the volume, weight and energy supply , how many times can you increase the computing speed of this artificial intelligence?"

"...About four or five times. If there is another breakthrough in crystal research, maybe the calculation speed will be increased by tens or hundreds of times, and the volume and weight will not increase." Speaking of himself in artificial intelligence Heidi's eyes were slightly blurred when she was looking forward to the dream, "At that time, it will be comparable to the mental arithmetic of high-level magicians and the auxiliary magic circle of middle-level magicians!"

Sprint is a little surprised, there is so much room for performance improvement?

Lucien nodded slightly, and said to Natasha, Lazar, Katrina and others who were puzzled: "According to the artificial intelligence concept they designed, the bottleneck lies only in materials and devices, and the development of materials and devices has Extremely dependent on arcane research."

"This is an era in which various fields rely on each other and promote each other. For example, without a good auxiliary magic circle, experiments in many microscopic fields cannot be completed, and development will become slow."

"Maybe in the future we will be able to apply the quantum superposition state to the field of artificial intelligence, so that its calculation speed can be increased to a level beyond that of any magician, including Your Excellency the Speaker and me." Lucien described the prospect of artificial intelligence, and at the same time Silently added, without quantum computers, when the integrated circuit is fully mature, a large-scale artificial intelligence can surpass the computing power of myself and your Excellency the Speaker.

However, in the world of magic, there may be some steps in the middle that can be skipped directly!

"Exceeding the computing power of a legendary magician..." Heidi said in a daze. She never thought that artificial intelligence could reach this level!

In their hearts, even without the help of the auxiliary calculation circle, the legendary magician's mental arithmetic ability is enough to be called terrifying, which belongs to the "inhuman" level!

Elestine listened quietly, repeating two nouns in her mind: "Quantum superposition state...artificial intelligence..."

Natasha looked curiously at the constantly flashing red and green lights: "This artificial intelligence seems to be manipulated by ordinary people... How can its size, weight and cost be simplified? How many years will it take to achieve promotion and popularization?" request?"

She has lived with Lucien for a long time, and she has also suffered from the problem of popularization. After all, seeing her kingdom continue to undergo good changes and her subjects enjoy an increasingly simple and civilized life, she will feel proud and happy. pride.

"When there is a transistor, it should be only the size of a steel golem, and it can be used by a noble family, but if you want to shrink it, it depends on the development of alchemy materials." Heidi roughly predicted, "Although this artificial The alchemy devices and magic patterns in the smart phone are relatively simple, and ordinary magicians can complete them, but they need a lot of devices and patterns. If they cannot be mass-produced and assembled, the cost is about the same as a fifth-level high-level magic thing."

"It seems that it will take many years, but artificial intelligence based on computing power is probably not needed by ordinary nobles and commoners." Natasha is not disappointed.

Lucien smiled at the side. He originally wanted to give examples of the "possible" applications of computers in civilian life, but so far there have been no corresponding prototypes—such as televisions, so it is inconvenient to mention them directly, so we can only briefly describe them. With an imaginative feeling, he said: "After the computing power is improved, many things can be done, and the world will become more colorful!"

kindness? Natasha looked at Lucien curiously, as did Heidi and Cherie, hoping to get inspiration for the development of artificial intelligence from the teacher.

"For example, we can use artificial intelligence to draw three-dimensional magic patterns, which will be more accurate and stable than ours, because it is completely composed of numbers." Lucien deliberately said a topic that would arouse the interest of magicians, "Then, we Artificial intelligence can use these patterns to directly construct a spell model!"

"And then? Can artificial intelligence cast spells by itself?" Heidi was really interested.

Lucien said with a smile: "The spell model needs the infusion of energy to become a spell. We use the consumption of mental power to replace it, while the artificial intelligence can use electrical energy, but the problem is that its spell model and our soul Like the spell model, there is no entity, and it must rely on the disturbance of the outside world by the mental power, and this special electromagnetic wave, we have not mastered it yet, and it is impossible for artificial intelligence to have mental power."

"There is no entity..." Annick seemed to think of something. All the current simplified alchemy items have entities, so they can be directly driven by electric energy to make them activate corresponding magic.

"Well, so we can rub the spell model built by artificial intelligence and use the corresponding materials or scrolls to rub it. If the functional modules in this area are designed, this process will accurately and perfectly rub the alchemy items or magic scrolls , and then directly use spiritual power to stimulate it." Lucien integrated a little concept of 3D printing into the direction of artificial intelligence manufacturing of magic scrolls and alchemy items.

When talking about this, a few bizarre pictures appeared in Lucien's mind. Maybe the magicians of the future just need to turn on the computer, search for the desired spell model and download it, or use auxiliary software to draw the required spell model. The spell model can be used to create magic scrolls through artificial intelligence "3D printing", without being as troublesome and complicated as it is now.

Casting spells is not difficult at all... This may be the advertisement for artificial intelligence in the future. Of course, the front-end technology required for 3D printing is not that simple.

Heidi, Elestine and the others were stunned when they heard the scene Lucien described. What kind of future is that! Can the magician stop it? Wait, it seems that such things are not limited to magicians, as long as creatures with the ability to activate scrolls and items can cast magic through artificial intelligence! Doesn't this seem like a good thing for magicians?

Regardless of whether this kind of development is good or bad for magicians, anyway, Heidi, Cherie and others are more enthusiastic about the field of artificial intelligence, and they and others are doing a remarkable thing!

Leilia, Splinter, Rock and others all had similar ideas. If it weren't for the tight arrangement of arcane research and magic learning, they would all want to join Heidi's research team.

Natasha looked at Lucien with interest as well. Such a world seems very interesting, and magic is so interesting!
