"Is there any benefit to this?" Rommel asked with a slight frown.

"The benefits are clear. Richard explained, "As you said before, now all the nodes are connected to the energy core, and the energy core has to deal with all the energy changes at all times, and the load is too large, and once there is a problem, it will affect a large number of nodes.

After using the 'tree structure' I said, you can transfer the load of the core to the next level of nodes for processing, and the next level of nodes can transfer the load to the next level of nodes for processing, so that the load can be distributed. If there is a problem in one part, it will only affect the area to which it belongs.

In addition, you can also modify the energy core. I haven't seen the exact structure of the core, but I'm guessing it's a separate machine. In fact, we can divide it into two and make it one main and one standby. Normally, two machines are powered at the same time, and there is not much loss in efficiency, but once one of the machines is damaged, the remaining machine may be less efficient, but it can meet the minimum demand. ”

Listening to Richard's words, Rommel thought seriously. After thinking for a while, he said, "The method you said does have some advantages compared to now. But when the load is dispersed, the risk is not dispersed, right? If each node becomes a small energy core, then the probability of failure increases dramatically.

In the event of a failure, it will not affect all of them, but it will affect all subordinate structures to which they belong. If it was a Tier 1 node that failed, it wouldn't be much better than it is now. To put it simply, it's just turning a big fault into a lot of small faults. Unless...... Each node has a standby, but then the cost will go up significantly......"

Richard showed a slightly amazed expression, somewhat admiring Rommel for being able to see the key in such a short time.

The "tree" topology he proposed has advantages over the "star" topology, but it also increases the complexity and has the disadvantages that Rommel said.

However, he did not defend himself, and said calmly: "Director, what you said is right, after using the structure I said, the failure rate will be improved." However, the increase in the failure rate does not necessarily completely affect the operation of the node. The transformation I am talking about is only the first stage, and if it is acceptable, it can also enter the second stage. ”

"What is the second stage?" Rommel asked.

Richard replied seriously: "In the second stage, we can connect more nodes, such as nodes of the same level and nodes of different levels in different regions. The ultimate goal is for each node to have multiple lines leading to the energy core. In this way, what will come out of the energy core will no longer be a 'tree', but a 'web', a cobweb.

Normally, the energy of each node is transmitted in the shortest path to maximize efficiency. Once an accident occurs at a node, the circuit can be adjusted to bypass the faulty node and continue to transfer energy to the rest of the nodes. In this way, the efficiency of a few nodes may be reduced by a fraction, but it can ensure that except for the faulty node, the rest of the nodes can run normally. ”

After listening to Richard's words, Rommel's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he said: "Interesting, such a suggestion really makes me unable to refuse." In addition to the increased complexity and the increase in energy channels, there are almost no disadvantages and the advantages are very prominent. ”

After a pause, Rommel looked at Richard, raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Wizard Richard, do you know, I now have the illusion that you seem to have experienced this kind of thing before, and have studied it deeply. Therefore, they will have an excellent understanding of this situation and can easily put forward suggestions and corrections. ”

Actually, it's pretty much the same. This problem of energy transmission is essentially the same as the network topology on Earth. The only difference is that one transmits energy and the other transmits information...... Richard thought calmly, not speaking.

"Of course, delusions are just illusions. "I'm pretty sure there's only one Pompey in the whole world, and everything that happens here has never existed." So, Wizard Richard, you are really smart and knowledgeable, and it was the right choice to recruit you as a core member of the organization. Later, I'll let them try to transform it, and if it works, you'll be considered to have made a significant contribution to the organization, and maybe you'll be favored. ”

"God......'s favor," Richard opened his mouth, "Actually, I have a question I want to ask more than God's favor." ”

"What?"

"Director Rommel, I don't deny that everything about Pompey is amazing, but I wonder why I did it. Whether it's an energy core or something else, although it is useful but not necessary, it will not be meaningful in a short period of time. The organization can use its energy and material resources for the rest of the place, so why use it here?"

Rommel showed a serious expression and said slowly: "Because this involves the truth of the world. ”

"The truth of the world?" Richard grimaced.

"You know, Wizard Richard, this world is going to end. Rommel said astonishingly, "And what destroys the world is the transcendent power of which we are proud." ”

"How?"

"I don't know if you've noticed, but in fact, the source of our extraordinary power comes from the starry sky above us, or the stars above us to be exact. They transmit supernatural powers, giving us incredible means of magic.

In a sense, our supernatural powers are not the result of our own efforts, but more like a gift from heaven. And this gift is not without a price, in fact, the price is still very large.

As we continue to indulge in it, to believe in it, to make it a matter of course, to become a part of this world, disaster will happen. It will use irresistible forces to directly destroy the entire world. Only then will you discover that the so-called supernatural powers are not a gift, but a decoy. ”

When Richard heard this, his breath stagnated slightly.

Rommel also paused, and remained silent for a few seconds, as if to make Richard feel the shock, before adding: "The great true God saw this result with wisdom, and founded our organization to prevent the catastrophe from happening."

The world needs to change, and it must change. The ground beneath our feet is safer than the endless starry sky above us. In order to prevent catastrophe from happening, we must gradually learn another way to have an incredible means for us, which does not come from the cold starry sky, but from the scorching depths of the earth. ”
