Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1676 Stimulating Interest Test Report
What's more, these little guys who are not even middle-level mages actually asked about the details of the 8th-level spells. Of course, Xia Duo didn't set any restrictions on this aspect.

After all, even if you tell them, they won't be able to try it. It's right to broaden their horizons and increase their motivation to learn.

It's just that, not long after the creation of this tool spirit, Xia Duo deleted it in the underlying database. Of course, there were spell details, but at the 8th ring level, most of them must have been deleted.

So Qi Ling couldn't answer.

But these little guys are not stupid. If they can’t ask the details, they just ask some general theoretical knowledge. Although they don’t need it now, it is a rare experience to know it in advance.

It's like the theory of relativity in the high school textbooks in Xia Duo's hometown. Is it really expected that a group of high school students can understand it so deeply?

It is nothing more than to broaden their horizons and stimulate their interest in physics.

Of course, it is also possible that some people gave up physics in advance because of early contact, and Xia Duo didn't think it was a pity.

On the contrary, this should also be regarded as a kind of humanization.

In high school, my thoughts are gradually becoming mature, and I should have a certain ability to plan my life. If you are interested, you may not be able to learn physics well, but if you are not interested, you will definitely not be able to develop in the field of physics in the long run.

Most of Kent and others are eighteen or nineteen years old now, which is just a group of high school students on earth. In fact, these Naithers will only mature more precociously.

Whether it was giving up early or improving motivation, Xia Duo respected their choices.

……

However, Kent and others are planning to expand the number of testers of the "learning machine", Xia Duo thinks it is necessary to remind him not to forget the business.

As soon as this idea came up, in a certain workshop on the public floor of the Tower of Time, the communication artifact that was surrounded by Kent and others immediately responded and sent a message to Kent.

Kent, who was thinking about what question to ask next, received the news, and his face changed suddenly. He quickly separated from the crowd, squeezed to the side of the communication magic weapon, grabbed the communication magic weapon, and said to everyone:

"The president just sent me a message, asking us to complete the task first."

"Ah, how could this be, this is just my turn!"

But this guy just said a word, but was suppressed by other people's words, "The president's task is more important. Asking questions and so on, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

"Yes, let's complete the president's mission first!"

Regardless of whether it was from the heart or not, everyone's opinions were highly unified at this moment. Kent took the communication magic weapon and loudly assigned tasks to everyone:
"Ron, your group analyzes the social background; Harry, your group analyzes the academic background; others have different opinions at any time. Dolan, we continue to test the blind spots."

"Yes!"

……

Watching Kent and others quickly enter the state, Xia Duo waved away the real-time projection provided by the Tower of Time. After this adjustment, Xia Duo also regained his enthusiasm and continued to decipher the enlightenment scroll.

The next day, Kent submitted a detailed test report.

After Xia Duo received the report, he immediately opened it to check. The front was full of the testing process. Xia Duo roughly flipped through it, omitting some questions about spell details.

Xia Duo could understand this, after all, it was already off topic, and writing it into the report would not be asking for trouble for himself.

Turning directly to the back, seeing the conclusions given by Kent and others, Xia Duo suddenly laughed, and saw that the last page of the report clearly read in black and white——

"The test subject's thinking is rigid, but his logic is strict and he has quite advanced knowledge of magic. He is initially judged to be an archmage or arcanist controlled by mind spells."

This conclusion is somewhat different from what Xia Duo expected, but it is already very qualified, and it can even be said to be quite excellent.

Turning forward, there is also a specific analysis process, such as rigid thinking. The reason given by Kent is that the test subjects can only answer questions mechanically. Once they are asked questions that require subjective judgment, they cannot answer.

In addition, when asked about content related to emotions, preferences, and thoughts, there will be obvious lags.

And to some of the same questions even separated by many other questions, the test subjects gave almost no difference in their responses at all.

Normal people definitely can't do this.

As for the strict logic, it is very simple, just ask some coherent questions, such as asking what the previous question of the target was.

This seems simple, but actually involves the consistency of logic, so that there will be no inconsistencies. If you want to focus on verification, you need to design more problems with more complex relationships.

Kent has indeed done this. Although he has not studied "logic" systematically, magic is an objective existence, and mage is a rational profession, and logic runs through it all the time, which is self-evident.

On the contrary, it is the last item - the target has advanced magic knowledge, this kind of judgment is commendable.

You must know that Kent and others are not even intermediate mages, so how to judge that certain knowledge is advanced knowledge?Just some general theory?

But ordinary people can also know these general things!
This is not some advanced magic knowledge!
You must know that Xia Duo has deleted most of the details of spells. Qi Ling will not answer these questions. According to the simple judgment of ordinary people, if you don’t answer, you don’t know, and if you don’t know, you don’t have this knowledge.

But Kent and others still made a correct judgment, which is not easy, beyond the simple judgment of ordinary people, but with sufficient basis.

With this alone, Xia Duo can conclude that there must be more than one arcanist among the people in Kent. Of course, this is based on the training system of the old era.

But now, with the advent of a new era, according to Xia Duo's plan, as long as they complete the prescribed learning process, those in Kent will most likely be able to become arcanists, and those who cannot become arcanists are considered rare species.

……

After closing the report, Xia Duo pondered for a moment, and decided to continue to delete the underlying database of Qi Ling. Of course, the test must continue until he finds a mental model that is simplified to the extreme.

In other words, Xia Duo wants to study the composition of consciousness.

The technology of Tower Ling is very important. The Floating Void City has a complex system, which is different from ordinary magic items. It is impossible to control and use its various functions manually by relevant personnel.

This is similar to that on the earth. The various functions of the early fighter jets were all mechanical and manual control, but later it was electronicized, and many previous operations could be completed with one button.

In addition, before the appearance of the magic version of the computer, Xia Duo felt that it might be possible to replace the computer with a tower spirit, and this period may last for a long time!
