Chapter 484: Communication array

After arranging the production increase plan for the Tower of Time, Xia Duo returned to the study and continued to study communication spells. With the ready-made spells of the Arcane Empire on the projection plane, there is not much he really needs to do.
From the time Seventon returned to the present, what he has done has focused more on integration and extension rather than original creation from scratch, but even so, the progress of the project has been very slow in the past two months.
Because what Xia Duo wanted to send was not a single spell, but a whole new communication plan.
The Arcane Empire of the projection plane set up a communications department to be responsible for communications across the territory, using a spell called [Background Communications] to link various communications agencies in the territory like a network, forming a communications array covering the entire territory and beyond.
The so-called [Background Communication] actually uses the background fluctuations of the magic net to transmit information, which is similar to the principle of [Echo Perception] and [Magic Net Moment] known by Xia Duo on the main plane.
All used are Monet background fluctuations. The difference is that [Background Communication] uses Monet background fluctuations to transmit information, while [Monet Moment] uses Monet background fluctuations for timing.
As for the [Echo Perception], it is just a small spell, purely used to perceive the background fluctuations of the magic web, even without this spell, it can also be used for fuzzy perception through intuition.
When it comes to the depth of theory and technology, of course, Arcane Empire has a deeper research on the background fluctuations of the magic net. The most intuitive thing is that [Background Communication] is a 5-level spell, while [Magic Net Moment] only has 3 rings, as for the [Echo Perception], only 1 ring.
In terms of theory, Netheril is only at the preliminary application stage for the background fluctuation of the magic net, and the arcane empire of the projection plane is already exploring the deep principles behind the background fluctuation of the magic net.
Why does the magic net fluctuate? Why is there such a fluctuation? What else can be used for other than timing and communication?
some type of.
The arcanist of the Arcane Empire put forward a hypothesis that the background fluctuation of the magic net originated from the overlap and resonance of the magic net and the plane. As for the reason for such fluctuations, it may be related to the elemental origin of the plane.
Theoretically, timing from the perspective of the plane will not change the background fluctuations of the magic net for a long time.
Once the background fluctuation of the magic net changes, it must be a huge change in the plane.
It's just that this conclusion has not been verified. One is that the Arcane Empire cannot find a way to change the plane, and the other is that it is impossible to free up huge manpower and material resources to study this at the moment.
It is enough to find a hypothesis and develop a [background communication] based on it.
However, Xia Duo has actually verified a part of this, proving that the background fluctuation of the magic net is indeed related to the plane, and the background fluctuation of the magic net of [Aquamarine Plane] is completely different from the main plane.
...
The communication array constructed by [Background Communication] is indeed very convenient and has a large coverage area. Any spellcaster with relevant permissions can use the communication array to contact people from far away.
However, there is a question, who should control this communication array?
Is it the Austrian French Federation? Or the Sevinton Parliament? Or some great arcanist?
The Arcane Empire is a highly unified empire. Even the Great Arcanist succumbed to the leadership of the Great Sage, but Netheril was different.
The Austrian Law Federation is a product of contradictions and compromises. The great arcanists have failed to reach a unified opinion, so how can they tolerate a unified communication array?
Except for a few Great Arcanists, local lords would probably not be willing to use such a communication array that is not under their control. After all, those who master the communication array can "see" all communication information.
Without changing this, no one will accept such a communication array.
And the method that Xia Duo thought of is also very simple, just two points-
Do not build a complete communication array, and encryption!
The biggest advantage of the communication array is that it is similar to the magic net, anyone with the authority can communicate with it, but aside from this, [Background Communication] is still a very powerful communication spell.
Long distance!
If it's not for the convenience of more people, or even no need to build a communication array, a single spell can also be used, but its casting threshold is as high as 5 levels.
In order to adapt to the actual situation of Netheril, Chardonnay's communication plan weakened the ability of this spell to a certain extent. Specifically, it was to create communication magical equipment.
After Xia Duo's simplification, [Background Communication] no longer transmits images and sounds, only short text messages, and only two levels. This has reached the minimal level that Xia Duo can do.
If there is no magic net string on the second layer of the magic net, it is difficult to load information on the magic net background fluctuations, and then use the magic net background fluctuations to spread.
At this point, it’s already possible. Chateau estimated that Lord Dolayson’s new communication spells do not necessarily have such a low threshold~EbookFREE.me~ However, since it is a whole communication plan, it can’t be that simple. In addition to encryption measures, Xia Duo also needs to design specific communication instruments to facilitate more people's use.
In addition to the rewards of the princess, using the eternal magic technology that Tilak is studying can reduce the manufacturing cost of magical artifacts and make a fortune by selling communication magical artifacts.
Now Chardonnay is stuck on encryption measures and communication devices.
The arcane empires of the projection plane also have encryption, but their encryption is provided by the communication array. The information directly transmitted by the spell is not encrypted. If it is encrypted at this stage of the spell, it will inevitably increase the level of the spell. In fact, Is the use of barriers to increase.
It is possible that the 2nd ring [short text version background communication] may become the 3rd ring, 4 ring or even higher [encrypted short text version background communication].
In addition, there is another problem. If it is to encrypt the spell itself, it does not matter. It is just a matter of several changes. However, if you add [Encryption of Information] at the level of spell design, Xia Duo is not good at it.
This is not like typing code on the earth, you only need to call related functions.
In spell design, analog coding is to write out the specific operation process of a certain function. Simple, easy for others to crack; complicated, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of casting spells and raising the threshold of use.
How to design an encryption system that is relatively simple but difficult to crack is indeed a problem.
Xia Duo’s simplification [Background Communication] took more than ten days, and only three days were considered when considering the encryption problem, but it was different from the previous simplifications. Although the simplification took a long time, there is progress every day, but now, three days There is no idea.
"Sorrowful!"
