"The day after tomorrow?!"

Hearing such a moment, Nia's voice couldn't help but raise a pitch, and the new test paper that Xia Duo took out was almost half of the test paper.

But now that she has experience, she still has a good idea of how much content a test paper has and how long it takes to make a test paper.

At this time, almost all the time outside of sleep is jammed!

"Shado-" Nia looked at Shado pitifully, "can you add some more time?" I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

"No way!"

Xia Duo decisively rejected Nia, "If you want to complete the studies that ordinary people can't complete in a short time, you naturally need to work harder than ordinary people." ”

After saying that, Xia Duo felt that he was too strict with Niya when he said this, and then his tone softened a lot, "I will always be with you during this time, except when you are doing the test papers, you can ask me any questions." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Nia knows that if she wants to get something, she has to give something, and she doesn't really resist Xia Duo's teaching style, but she hasn't adapted to this high-intensity learning state yet.

But if you have Xia Duo by your side, it's not so unbearable.

……

Next, Xia Duo replaced the image of the projection window with a blue sky, and Nia began to revise the exam paper in front of the bright window.

During this period, Niya would ask Xia Duo any incomprehensible questions, and Xia Duo did not have any impatience, one studied seriously, the other explained seriously, and time passed quickly in such a fulfilling process.

Of course, in addition to studying with Niya, Xia Duo's main focus is still on the follow-up design of the floating city, and now he has only completed the design of the flight control system and the repair and maintenance system.

There are more functional systems in the future, and the spell design needs to be completed by him little by little, which is difficult to fake others, so he can only do it slowly.

It's not that Xia Duo is unwilling to fake others, but there is really no one to use.

But fortunately, as long as he completes the design of the main system of this experimental floating city, it will be much easier to hand over the follow-up improvement work to others.

Two years later, perhaps the first batch of high-level mages under the new system has been born, and this group of people may also be the first batch of full-time researchers in the Floating City.

"It's not bad to be a founder!" Xia Duo thought to himself.

……

And on the other side, the Horst Research Room.

A group of people huddled together in a not-so-spacious spell lab, with a set of Mithril artifacts designed to verify the problem in the center.

At this moment, this complex Mithril component, which is roughly in the form of a hollowed-out sphere, is radiating a brilliant glow, which looks quite extraordinary.

However, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers did not seem to be satisfied, especially the leader of the research room, Master Horst, whose face was even darker.

After observing for a moment, Horst paused the flow of energy from the Mithril component, turned to look at one of the onlookers, and asked:

"How's it going? Are Sectors 14 and 16 still as heavily interfered as they used to be? ”

"It's worse than before! After accurate measurements, the energy fluctuations after the interference of these two regions have exceeded the mission limit by at least 5 times, and the previous energy fluctuation was only 3 times. ”

"The Ancient God Emperor"

The respondent glanced at the other person, and seeing that the other party did not respond, he continued: "In addition to the energy interference in areas 14 and 16, at least sixteen areas such as 25, 25, 42, and 41 have energy resonance between circuits, which directly leads to the loss of function in this area. ”

As he spoke, the answerer pointed to a place in the hollowed-out sphere in the middle of the laboratory, and his expression became serious, "This improvement, I don't know if it didn't solve the problems found last time, but added a lot of new problems." ”

Horst's face was a little ugly when he heard this, but it was not very frustrated, after all, such a task that he had never been exposed to before was really difficult for them to come.

After thinking about it, he asked the crowd again: "Then do you think there is something wrong with our current thinking?" ”

Everyone was silent, but Horst was not angry, but squeezed out a smile, "Don't be silent!" No matter what, you have to keep doing this task, think of a way, and talk about your thoughts! ”

"Then I'll be blunt!"

This is another person who stood up, "I don't think there is anything wrong with the current thinking, I believe you can also see that although the tasks given above are separated, if nothing else, it should be within the same system, and there is nothing wrong with our overall simulation theory, and now there are so many problems that cannot be bridged, either these problems are really beyond our ability, or——"

"Say no more!"

Horst immediately interrupted the other party, "Since such a task is given above, what we can do is to try our best to complete it, not find other reasons. ”

Horst's words caused the laboratory to fall silent again, and it was a long time before someone made a new suggestion:

"Then can we do it one task at a time like before, anyway, that's how the tasks are issued!"

"No way!" Horst objected again, "The previous proposals submitted separately by the mission have been called back, and now they are still like this, don't you want the next quarter's funding!" ”

"Uh-"

"Forget it, think about it again, I'll go find Mark and get to the bottom of it."

With that, Horst left the laboratory.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but sigh in unison, the task that none of their research laboratories could complete, and the other two independent research laboratories probably couldn't please much.

"Don't be discouraged, I have a new idea, Mickey and Paige, you can help me process the Mithril components, and the others will go and rest for a while! Jonathan, you'll sort it out here and wait for the next test. ”

It was a middle-level mage in the Horst Research Laboratory who spoke, who was usually prestigious, but at this time, the others who stood up were also convinced and took action one after another.

……

Mark's Research Room.

Horst came here at his first stop, and in addition to Mark, he also met Steele, the head of another production design laboratory.

"Horst, you're here, and we're going to look for you! I didn't expect you to come to us first! Steele said with a look of surprise.

Compared to Horst, who was already a mid-level mage under the old system of the Tower of Time, Steele and Mark are both mid-level mages born from the low-level mage class under the new system.

Although the two of them thought that they were not inferior to "old" middle-level mages like Horst in all aspects, after all, they were older than them in terms of seniority and age, and at this time, if there was an old senior with or in front of them, it would make them feel more at ease.

Steele and Horst said that they were going to find each other, but it was not entirely polite, just now he did propose to Mark to test Horst, but he didn't expect Horst to be more impatient than them.

On the other hand, when he saw that Steele and Mark were both there, Horst knew that the other party might also have encountered a problem, so he didn't want to say some tentative words in the clouds, and went straight to the point:

"Don't talk about it, I must have guessed my intention, about this series of tasks, I want to cooperate with you and complete it together!"
