In the Magic Institute near Santa Quentin.

It's underground, but the research environment is no longer the harsh conditions it was when it first started.

Even underground, it was pleasantly built, and a special area was opened up for the researchers to live in.

Theoretically, if you're here to eat instead of working, you can stay in the living area and order a lot of food, some of which are even from unheard of heterotopes, until you don't want to eat anymore, and then you can find a room to sleep in.

There's more to enjoy in the living area, but your other personal requirements will also be met as much as possible.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as sexual desire, it's not that the institute can't provide it, but that it will violate some of the rules of the institute, and it's not something that can be entered casually, so there are only two ways to do this need, one is to go outside to solve it when you don't work and take a vacation, and the other is that you have the ability to hook up internally, or the unspoken rules of those waitresses.

The waitresses of the underground research institute are all selected magic apprentices, and their knowledge level is not enough to enter here, but in order to improve the environment here, the researchers also need someone to serve, so the selected magic apprentices can enter and work here.

However, these magic apprentices who are fortunate enough to come in, whether male or female, are more for the reason not to be generously paid, but for the opportunity, to be close to the frontier of magic, and to have the opportunity to officially enter the research project.

When there are many magic research projects or more manpower needs to be added in the research process, some key places definitely need high-level mages, or even legendary mages, but some tedious work in the process also requires many middle and low-level mages, and even magic apprentices can be competent after guidance.

These willing waiters saw such an opportunity. When the time comes, it will definitely be easier to be admitted if you are in the base.

In addition to their daily performance, female waitresses have one more way to do it than male waiters, which is to use their bodies to get on top.

But despite this environment, there are no researchers in the living quarters who sit and eat like pigs, and then drag a waitress to sleep.

Because if there is such a researcher, then he is either a genius. With a little use of his brain, he can find a new direction of development and guide it, thus omitting countless experiments and deductions; either he is here to eat, not to mention how he got in, even if there is such a person, he will not stay long.

More often than not, there are very few people drinking afternoon tea in the living quarters, and the normal meal time is like a war, and people always run around like the wind to sit down, and then gobble up and go back to their place of work.

Today. It's the same place as usual.

But if there's one thing that's different, it's that there seem to be people cheering, and a lot of people cheering.

The waiters stopped what they were doing, and looked enviously at the heavily guarded portals, each of which represented a studio or laboratory, where research was going on on the frontier of magic, and where they wanted to join.

Cheers are often a sign of success or significant progress on a project, but many projects like today are cheering. This is rare.

What makes the waiters even more curious is, what kind of research can make so many people cheer at the same time?

In the No. 23 Research Room of the First Research Institute of the Magic Research Institute. It was almost full of people, many of them magicians or mechanical engineers belonging to other research groups, including dwarven engineers, and several dwarves were not tall enough, and they lifted them up like arhats, and the top one told the bottom what they saw.

It is rare for so many researchers from different directions to pay attention to the research in this laboratory at the same time. It's because the Skynet experiment has just been successfully carried out here.

In the center of the research room is a huge magic array, and in the center of the magic circle is a spar model in the shape of a Rubik's cube, constantly rotating.

"It did. Someone sighed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can also select a few more to try out to verify the existence of this miniature Skynet. Fernandez, the controller, couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Me. I. "A few voices sign up.

Solomon smiled as he watched the magicians who volunteered.

The lucky chosen experimenter once again stepped forward, perceiving the existence of Skynet like the first experimenter before, and then mentally agreed, and then unhindered a dance light technique, with his body as the center of the four flame-like lighting.

His face was excited, as if he had returned to the time when he had just learned magic.

"It's a great initiative that will change the times. The researcher's face was excited, behind them, at the door of the room, there were more researchers trying to squeeze in, and farther away, the waiters who served the researcher were eager to know the details, but they didn't dare to come.

The reason why Solomon rushed back from the fortress of Mochizuki Castle was that Fernandez believed that the Skynet theory was mature and decided to start trying to build a miniature Skynet.

After the continuous improvement of the theory of Skynet, its basis is to use part of the principle in the elven magic chess plus magic technology, to establish a spiritual force that can automatically accommodate the overflow of collected creatures as the source force to start and generate the telekinesis frequency, and then by erecting multiple nodes similar to the same telekinesis frequency, within a certain distance, you can use direct magic pattern conduction or radiation transmission based on the same telekinesis frequency, and turn multiple spiritual seas into a connected larger spiritual sea.

But this is only an enhanced version of Skynet's foundation based on the Elven Chess, and Solomon relies on the knowledge of the Traveler to conceive much more than that, but is ambitious to build a combination of the web and the Internet that he saw in his previous life when reading novels.

Therefore, the further theory that Skynet does not have on the basis of the elven magic chess is to greatly enhance the energy that automatically accommodates and collects the spiritual thoughts of the living body, and then creates the possibility that the magician fits the frequency of entering this spiritual mind, and reversely obtains the possibility of casting spells from it.

As long as a life form exists, even if it is the lowest level of life form, there will be spiritual thought waves, but more often than not, the frequency of the spillover of these weak spiritual powers is different, and some are so weak that you can't perceive them. For example, you may be able to feel an Ant-Man's thoughts, but can you feel the presence of an ant's thoughts? But in fact, there is, and the legendary mages may be aware of it if they perceive it with their hearts, but they certainly don't put in the effort. (Perceiving that a creature has overflowing thoughts when it thinks, but does not mean that it can know its contents, are two concepts.) If you know it's a brain demon's ability or a voyeurism. ）

Skynet is like a scavenger, it can automatically collect these spillover waves of ordinary creatures, of course, if you want to do this, you must also configure a special magic array for it, and this is Fernandez's strength.

Then what is needed is to make Skynet have the ability to reverse engrave the spell model, anyone who comes into contact with the telekinesis frequency in Skynet, theoretically as long as the magic qualification reaches the level of being able to perceive mental power, the person who comes into contact with Skynet's frequency. You can access the Skynet reverse engraving spell model.

What does this mean?

This means that casting spells will become very easy, in the past, you need to build a spell model with your own mental power and maintain the existence of the model, and then when you cast a spell, your own mental power will be fused with the spell model, just like building a ditch first, and then pouring water into it, the water will naturally flow out of the ditch, but you have to have a ditch first.

And relying on Skynet to cast spells, Skynet automatically helps you build a spell model. Even to provide most of the water, you only need to pay the power to open and close the gutter.

That's why the experimenters were shocked.

Fernandez kept order in his students and assistants. Others were allowed to experiment with the use of thirty bells, and he and Solomon entered the soundproof zone to talk.

"The radiation range of this miniature skynet is only about thirty meters above the ground and below the surface of this base, and the strata may have an impact, and we need to find a way to improve the collection situation in the presence of obstacles, and to be honest, we are intercepting the flow under the nose of the laws of the plane. These forces were supposed to return to nature. ”

"But we'll use it better. Solomon said.

"Yes, hehe, I think so too, so I'm very interested in your proposal. Fernandez said. "I would say, so it's very limited in collection and feedback. As it stands, I haven't put a limit on it, but I don't think the number of times this miniature Skynet can collect the telekinesis and convert them into a model for the source force to engrave spells is not enough for everyone to cast as many spells as they want. ”

Solomon nodded and said, "I understand, but how are you going to solve it?"

"I don't think there's a way to get to the point where you can offer it without limits. Fernández said: "It's impossible. According to your previous thoughts and some of my ideas, we can improve the efficiency of use and find ways to increase the source of source power, but it is impossible to reach the point of on-demand distribution, which is completely impossible. The first is to increase the source of source power, we must open more such nodes, each Skynet node is both a collection point and a feedback point, and each additional node means that the source of power increases; If this transformation problem can be solved, the source power that Skynet can feed back to the creature will no longer rely only on the mindwave of the living form itself. ”

Fernandez continued: "But even if we can solve this problem, there is still a need for restrictions, and this restriction is very natural, we can't let a child dance a sledgehammer, he may not be able to dance and hurt himself, or he may dance and hurt others, or even if we can make him dance, but helping a child to dance a sledgehammer is completely different from helping someone who has enough strength to lighten the load, and the price or resources spent may be unfair to other people." Duke Solomon, I originally hoped that the establishment of Skynet would make it easier for more people to access the power of magic and study magic, so I wanted to be fair to everyone. But now I find that it is unfair to pursue absolute fairness too much, as I said earlier, to use an analogy, if we insist that an apprentice can use high-level spells, then it may cost a hundred times more Skynet resources than it normally would, which is unfair to others, so I am now inclined to limit it. ”

Solomon looked at him, "If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to grade?"

"Yes, that's what it means. Fernandez admitted, "I remember when you first came up with the Skynet project, you seemed to have that idea in mind, and to be honest I didn't think it was right at the time, but now I think you're right." Even if the problem of converting external sources into resources and providing them to Skynet is broken, Skynet's resources are still not unlimited, and children should not play with sledgehammers, and the path of magic has always been gradual. We must rank the power of using Skynet, and only those who meet the criteria for each level can use the power of Skynet at different levels. ”

Fernandez let out a long breath and said, "Only in this way can the use of Skynet be orderly, otherwise I think it will even collapse due to overuse." But in this case, the use of Skynet requires a huge amount of calculation, which is definitely not something that any mage, including legendary mages, can accomplish, because if such a core is established, it is necessary to be able to receive and feedback from the caster at any time like a god. ”

He couldn't help but cry out, "No, this is God, isn't God like this, it's just that they are connecting believers, and what Skynet needs to connect and feedback is every creature who is qualified to use Skynet." ”

Solomon couldn't help but scratch his head, wondering how did the magic net in Western novels in his previous life do it?

Then he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, after all, it was a novel, and the novel said that it already existed, but now he really wants to build such a thing.

"I completely agree with what you just thought, these are very necessary. He nodded.

Fernandez suddenly looked at him with reverence, and saw that Solomon was a little confused, this look was like a little girl looking at the uncle she admired when she first fell in love, but looking at her in front of her was an old mage.

"The mode and Skynet operation model that I can come up with now is to make restrictions on each level first, and only need the mental power to reach the corresponding standard, and you can have the qualification to use Skynet at the corresponding level without judging the spell casting skills, and then preset the corresponding standard spell model for each level. However, even this still requires a lot of calculations, and I finally understand why you proposed the Demon Brain Project with the Skynet Project in the first place, and insisted that the Demon Brain is one of the foundations of the Skynet Project. Fernández said respectfully.

"It's nothing, I'm the one who came up with the plan, of course thinking a little bit bigger. "Solomon's humble word.

However, his modesty was soon interrupted, and one of the guards told him that the kingdom wanted him to hurry back to the fortress of Mochizuki Castle as soon as possible, where a military meeting was taking place and might be related to the kingdom's next move. (To be continued.) )
