"The infinite expansion structure of the Magic Network?" Hearing this series of words suddenly popped up by Rebecca, even Gawain was a little confused, "Have you mentioned this to me before?"
"I didn't mention it to you, you mentioned it to me! Have you forgotten?" Rebecca waved her arms (to be honest, Gawain was really worried that if her hand slipped, she would hit him with the iron staff) head), "Didn't you tell me before that you want to make the Magic Network something more open, more expandable, and easier to lay out and add or remove units? Then I have been thinking about this, But after thinking about it for a long time, there was no result, until a while ago-"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to Jenny who was panting next to her: "Didn't Jenny come here a while ago? After bringing the early research materials of Wild Mage, I finally completed the system. Ancestor, did you know that Wild Mage's notebook can only be regarded as part of the results, and the magic network above is only the conclusion of the second half, but Without the derivation process and construction principles in the first half, we can only use a very stupid method to 'simulate' the magic network, but the data in Jenny's hands is the complete set of logic used by the wild mage when he first constructed those basic runes..."
Rebecca is usually silly and dumb, but once she talks about things in these professional fields, she immediately becomes bashful. Gawain knows at a glance that this girl has to talk until the end. After dinner, he quickly interrupted her: "I understand what you mean, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, I understand what you mean, that is to say, you have finally put together the theory, so you have finally mastered the laws of the magic network from a principle level, instead of just copying the gourd, right?" ——I understand these, show me the infinite expansion structure you mentioned."
"Let's go inside and take a look, there are many pictures!" Rebecca grabbed Gawain's arm and walked toward the tent. Go, turning around and greeting Jenny loudly as he walked, "You come too, you come too, you have done most of the calculations!"
In Gawain's camp, Rebecca took a group of With an excited expression on his face, he unfolded the rolls of paper that Jenny brought one by one, covering the entire table in order, and finally unfolded the large drawing in his hand and placed it in the center of all the drawings.
It is a piece of paper filled with calculation formulas, geometric figures, and logical induction processes. They use rigorous and incredible logic to repeatedly optimize and combine the basic runes. You can see densely packed numbers on every piece of paper. Even though Gawain had a lot of knowledge in magic, he only felt dizzy at first glance. However, on the piece of paper that Rebecca finally spread out, all the complicated calculations and connections All have been simplified.
There is only one most basic unit graphic on it - it is a hexagonal symmetrical structure composed of eight rune knots, six forming the border and two inside. The simplicity and beauty of it reached an incredible level. After just one glance, Gawain's eyes were deeply attracted by it.
"This is..."
"The most basic unit in the Magic Network," Rebecca's eyes sparkled, "after completing all possible optimizations andAfter simplification, I found that the magic network only needs these eight rune knots to perform the most basic charging and output operations, and there is only one interference knot inside it, so each such 'unit' is far less powerful than interference. threshold, the more such units are connected, the lower the interference will be. You see, it is symmetrical and the opposite sides are complementary, so..."
Gawain could no longer hear Rebecca's next words. A shocking scene from the future was emerging before his eyes. Scene——
This hexagonal basic unit is expanding and extending. Through its basic symmetrical structure, countless hexagons are connected into a honeycomb-like shape, which is spread on any possible Places are covered with factories, cities, and human activities. This great energy device finally got rid of the restrictions of the "magic circle". After Rebecca and Jenny optimized it day and night, it became the smallest The basic unit has thus become the greatest magic wonder.
The Magic Network can finally become a magic "network".
"This structure is the same as the 'Magic Network No. 1'. How to solve the connection problem? "Gawain immediately asked a very practical question.
Magic Network No. 1 and the same type of Magic Network No. 2 are currently playing a role in steel plants and brick kilns. There are also several small "prototypes" "Magic Network" provides power for magic energy engines in mines and other places. Although these old models of Magic Network are called "old", in fact the oldest ones have only been running for a few months. Now Rebecca has toiled out a more advanced model. "Hive Magic Network", but it is not cost-effective to directly dismantle several old magic networks and replace them with new ones. The loss of manpower and material resources is a big waste for today's territory.
"You. Don't worry, I've already thought about it." Rebecca was obviously not worried about this. "Although the hexagonal structure you see looks completely different from the previous magic network, it is actually derived from the old magic network. The inside is cut and deformed, and the two can be connected directly. You only need to slightly modify the pattern of the runes at the connection. Jenny is a fourth-level rune master, and she is the best at this. "
Gawain nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, from now on, all the magic nets in the territory will be built based on the new 'Hive Magic Net'... But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed. How safe is it? ”
At this time, what popped into Gawain’s mind was the extremely serious hidden danger of “Magic Network Collapse”.
Although Rebecca found a way to simplify the Magic Network and transform it into a The way to infinitely expand the network is to connect all the magic networks, making it extremely expandable. However, this undoubtedly has a huge hidden danger: when all the magic networks are connected together, it means that its The risk of overload is also connected. Huge magic power will surge in this infinitely expanded structure. Once something goes wrong - the rampant magic power is likely to escape along the magic network and destroy all the magic energy equipment connected to it. !
On Earth, there are various circuit breakers, voltage regulators and other safety equipment to ensure the safety of the power grid, so Gawain immediately thought that the Magic Network might also be needed.Similar security measures will do.
Rebecca was stunned when she heard Gawain's words. She reacted with her mouth open for a long time before saying, "Ah... I really haven't thought about it..."
Then she looked admiring: "Ancestor, you are so awesome! Why do you think of so many practical problems every time you draw a drawing of this new thing as if you have been watching it operate for decades?"
"Ahem...the experience of the elderly, the experience of the elderly," Gawain coughed awkwardly and brought the topic back on track, "Now think about it, how to solve this network Safety issue. All magic power flows freely in the honeycomb structure, and it completely relies on the self-balancing and energy-discharging mechanism of the magic network itself to ensure the stability of magic power. However, once the self-balance of some 'units' is out of control, the excessive magic power will exceed When the unit is approaching its endurance limit, it is likely that all adjacent units will be burned instantly, and then a vicious cycle will follow..."
Rebecca's eyes widened, as if she was frightened by what might happen. Jenny, who was next to her, frowned and thought hard: "Then let's... don't make the magic net too big and divide it into areas."
"Then we will lose this hive. "The value of the structure," Gawain shook his head, "This honeycomb structure is to allow the magic network to be infinitely expanded and connected."
Rebecca looked at Gawain curiously: "What do you mean, ancestors?" ?"
Gao Wen looked down at the magic network hive unit on the table and suddenly asked: "How are two such hive units connected together?"
"Directly? "Connect," Rebecca nodded matter-of-factly, "Put two rune knots together, so the transmission efficiency is the highest."
"Make the connection between them fragile," the knowledge in this world. There seems to be no suitable solution here, so Gawain can only resort to the ideas from his previous life, "You can add a partition... Connectors made of cheap black stone are good. Black stone is a magic-guiding material, but its tolerance is very poor. If the magic power fluctuates violently, it will directly shatter."
"You mean, each hive unit is separated from other units by a 'buffer material' made of black stone?" Rebecca? Scratching his hair, "But the efficiency of black stone's magic guide is not high. This will probably reduce the efficiency of the entire magic network by more than a quarter..."
"But in exchange for safety, even if If a few units are out of control, they will only leave the main network on their own without endangering other things," Gao Wen explained. "As for the reduction in efficiency, these basic units will make up for the lack of efficiency after they are connected in large numbers. . And this is just a preliminary solution. I will definitely find a better way in the future." As he spoke, Gawain laughed: "The current magic network is still very primitive. In addition, this honeycomb structure is also very primitive. It draws energy directly from the environment, and then the magic energy equipment receives energy directly from the magic network. There is no safe buffering process, no steady flow, no metering, and even no 'conduit' - —Energy consuming equipmentIf you are ready, just attach yourself directly to the magic net. Don’t you think this connection method is worthy of improvement? ”
Rebecca nodded thoughtfully, while Jenny was not yet used to this completely equal way of communicating and expressing one’s own opinions, and seemed a bit reserved, but the flashing eyes were enough to explain She was thinking about what Gawain said.
"This is a new thing, and it still has a long way to go." Gawain didn't let the two girls deal with this on the spot, which might take a long time to resolve. The question is to understand, “Take your time, don’t rush. You have made great achievements this time. Do you want any reward? ”
“I want to get a new crystal for my staff! "Rebecca and Grandpa Taizu were not polite, and immediately waved their iron staff happily, "Look, the crystal on the staff is very old! ”
Gawain took a look and immediately saw that the crystal inlaid on the top of the iron staff was indeed old. Not only was the luster dim, but several small corners were missing, including the claws used to fix the crystal. There is also an obvious deformation...
Isn't it possible for this person to be a war hammer user?
Gowen's eyebrows jumped, and he wanted to persuade his granddaughter not to change the crystal at all. It would be better to go to the Machinery Manufacturing Institute to get a spiked triangular stick from Nicholas Egg and weld it on, but after all, this girl has made a great contribution, and the last bit of mage temperament in her body is supported by that piece of crystal. , he sighed in his heart and said: "There is a fire element core over there in the treasure house. It was brought out from the Gondor Empire. You can take it and let the rune craftsman process it for you and install it on the staff. . "
Then he looked at Jenny: "What about you? What reward do you want? "
Jenny suddenly shrank her neck: "I... I just did what I had to do... I didn't dare to ask for a reward..."
"You're not used to this place yet? Gawain laughed, "Here, all contributions will be valued and rewarded, regardless of your origin and status." I just heard Rebecca say that the main calculation process was completed by you. "
"I..." Jenny hesitated and finally said, "I hope you can add Mr. Ravencase's name to the list of contributors to the Honeycomb Magic Network...because in the end, Several important formulas were summarized by him. ”
“Of course. ”
