Chapter 878: 274. Continuous linkage_2
“Sir, are you feeling unwell?” Nolin asked with concern. noveldrama
“No, Nolin. I’m just overwhelmed with a lot of thoughts all at once. My head feels a bit swollen, that’s all.”
Noland Lee took a slight breath and asked:
“How difficult is it to implement this scheme, which uses thunder and lightning energy as the data carrier to build a computer? What are the key challenges we must overcome?”
“At present, there are no known difficulties, Sir. I can only rate the difficulty of implementing the scheme as easy for now,” Nolin responded.
Noland Lee was stunned:
...
“Easy to implement? Doesn’t that mean there are no difficulties? How can it be so simple?”
“Yes, Sir. Let me explain it to you. In fact, when I came up with this scheme, I too was surprised by its simplicity. I must praise the convenience of magic. With magic, everything becomes much simpler and faster.”
Nolin manipulated the Magic Pen to draw lines and patterns on the blank document, at the same time saying:
“Before the Metal Creation Group initiated the interstellar navigation era, a computer consisted of five parts: the controller, the arithmetic unit, the memory, and the input and output devices.
“‘Thought Array Technology’ unified the controller, arithmetic unit, and memory of a computer into what is called a ‘Mind Array.’ The Metal Creation Group thus broke through the processing power limitations of the old era and achieved a major scientific breakthrough, entering the era of interstellar navigation.”
On the document that Nolin was drawing, a tree-like mind map appeared, with the key technology called ‘Thought Array Technology’ at the center.
Numerous lines connected it to diverse fields such as “Education,” “Scientific Research,” “Medical,” “Aerospace Engineering,” “Atomic Energy,” and more.
With the help of ‘Thought Array Technology,’ all fields experienced a massive surge in productivity. The social total output at least doubled overnight, and cutting-edge aerospace materials made breakthrough advancements numerous times within a short span of time.
As the pioneer for the Metal Creation Group in entering the era of interstellar navigation, ‘Thought Array Technology’ consisted of only three parts.
One is the mental array main controller, which integrates the functions of computation, storage, and control.
The other two parts are the input and output devices.
The mental array main controller is composed of ‘Thought Crystal Transistors.’
If one wished to create Thought Crystal Transistors in the World of Wizards, the rare materials for manufacturing the crystal must first be obtained.
This kind of material, however, has only been found on a highly confidential resource planet by the Metal Creation Group.
Constrained by materials, processes, and production equipment, it would be impossible for Nolin to manufacture a Thought Crystal Transistor for Noland Lee.
But!
Magic can bypass almost all restrictions and directly create a magical creation similar to a Thought Crystal Transistor.
One reason is:
Magic is not constrained by the physical limitations of transistor materials and can perfectly circumvent the short-channel effects and quantum tunneling challenges on the technological side.
A second reason:
Provided the wizard can continuously obtain magic energy, the magic side’s Thought Crystal Transistor is equivalent to having an infinite production capacity. There is no loss of production capacity due to exhaustion of the main materials, nor is there a need to worry about finding replacement materials.
A third reason:
The magic side’s Mind Array controller does not require optimization of volume. Simply by placing the finished product in a Magic Pouch or Magic Subplane, one can easily accommodate a Mind Array Controller of the magic side that covers an area of more than a thousand square meters.
According to Nolin’s estimation, the only thing that might limit the performance of the magic side’s Mind Array controller would be the amount of magic energy invested.
The higher the magic energy investment, the higher the computational power output level of the magic side’s Mind Array controller.
The Mind Array Controller integrates the function of storing data.
In the Metal Creation Group, the unit of measurement for data size is “Crystal Lattice.”
Each Crystal Lattice’s data capacity is equivalent to the amount of characters filled on an A4 paper.
The two of them talked from late night past midnight, and from midnight until the early hours of the morning.
Using 18 Magic Pens, Nolin wrote a manufacturing guide over a meter thick.
Noland Lee not only understood the principles of the Mind Array Controller and its transistors but also acquired a deconstruction result that could open up a new era.
This was a predictive scheme that interacted with magical knowledge.
Noland Lee named the product of this scheme ‘Magic Guide Crystal Tube,’ abbreviated to ‘Magic Guide Crystal.’
…
[Name]Magic Guide Crystal Tube
[Type]Type of Magic Product related to technology
[Uses]
Transmit, store, and process data carried by magic energy.
[Energy Molding Scheme]
Shaping material: 10 million points of Rock and Soil Energy, 100 million points of Thunder and Lightning Energy
Energy consumed: 11 million Points of Energy
Success rate of molding: 42%, which is equivalent to your level in “Plastic Power Magic Academy”
Molding product: A cylindrical Magic Guide Crystal Tube, 10 centimeters in length and 1 centimeter in diameter.
System prediction, this Magic Guide Crystal Tube’s computational power output level is 10,000 points per second, with a data storage capacity of 10 million Crystal Lattices.
Increasing energy and Energy Points investment can produce Magic Guide Crystal Tubes with greater computational power output levels and data storage capacities.
…
To create one Magic Guide Crystal Tube with just 10 million Rock and Soil Energy and 100 million Thunder and Lightning Energy?
Noland Lee read through the Energy Molding scheme provided by the system, feeling a bit surprised.
He had thought that such an awe-inspiring device would require tens or hundreds of billions of energy to create.
Noland Lee pondered for a moment, then spoke to Nolin and picked up the Elemental Energy Reactor before stepping into the partition.
