Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1756 Psionic conjecture begins

Next, whether Xia Duo wants to verify his guess or cut out more spiritual core basic forms, he needs to continue cutting down.

Of course, he will not cut them on a large scale until he passes the actual test and passes the core basic forms of these ectoplasm to become qualified intellectual brain components.

The smallest ectoplasmic core picked out before was not even used up half, so Xia Duo started testing with it, and after cutting out a regular tetrahedron ectoplasmic core, he took out a prepared first-generation communication magic weapon.

——【Enlighten Wisdom Technique】!
The weapon spirit was formed smoothly. Although there is only one basic form of spiritual matter core, it must be known that something as big as the mage tower only needs three complete spiritual matter cores, and there should be a surplus.

It is not difficult to understand something as small as a communication instrument, as long as it has a little spiritual core.

What surprised Xia Duo was that even the basic form of the spiritual core could carry a copy of his consciousness.

He thought before that the psychic core would not be able to carry the copy of consciousness if the ectoplasmic core was divided to such an extent, but he didn't expect this thing to be much stronger than he expected.

It can be seen from this that the consciousness of those distorted phantoms is so powerful that they even have natural psychic powers, but it is a pity that the structure of consciousness is single. Once they break through the psychic defense line, they are completely undefended.

Humans do not have such a strong innate consciousness, but human consciousness is divided into superficial consciousness and subconsciousness. Even without any protection, subconsciousness is a natural protection.

Psychic spells can generally only break through the superficial consciousness, and it is usually necessary to control the superficial consciousness before it can further affect the subconscious.

Is it necessary to have powerful psychic powers, or to "install" the psychic protection of each individual.

Xia Duo is not easy to answer this question. Now that he is no longer a weak individual, he naturally hopes to obtain psychic powers, but if he is still in a weak state, then of course he needs natural spiritual protection.

Or, the current him is also very weak compared to those truly powerful beings. In this way, it may be a mistake to seek a state of consciousness similar to a distorted phantom in a human body to obtain psychic powers.

Xia Duo guessed that the so-called psychic enlightenment may be the transformation of consciousness into something similar to a distorted phantom, thereby giving birth to psychic powers, which are then strengthened or magnified by some special means, perhaps it is psychic magic.

Of course, this is just Xia Duo's guess. As for the details, it still needs to find a real psionic mage to cooperate with him to do a few experiments.

……

After confirming that the basic shape of the regular polyhedron ectoplasmic core can be combined with a generation of communication instruments to form intellectual brain components, Xia Duo began to continuously divide the large ectoplasmic core.

Soon, the eight cut ectoplasmic cores were completely decomposed, except for the two that were cut off before, there were still 12 ectoplasmic cores in the basic form of regular polyhedrons.

And those eight are actually derived from two complete twisted phantom cores, that is to say, a complete twisted phantom core can be broken down into about seven basic forms.

Because of the many cuts, Xia Duo also found a problem, which may affect the previous guess about the basic form of the core of the spiritual matter——

He didn't find the spiritual core of the icosahedron, at most there was only one dodecahedron, and it was "broken" by him.

Xia Duo wasn't sure if it was true that the icosahedron's ectoplasmic core basic form didn't exist, or he hadn't cut enough.

So, without a doubt, he picked up the [Blade of Spiritual Closure] again, and directly cut six complete spiritual cores, "exploding" a total of 50 basic forms.

Compared with the estimate just now - a complete spiritual core can decompose about 1 basic forms, which is still improved.

8 ectoplasmic cores ==> 62 basic forms, plus the two destroyed ones, it is a full eight times. If there is no [Spiritual Closure Blade], then so many complete ectoplasmic cores are needed.

Regardless of the price, this thing is rich, even if people are willing to sell it, they may not be able to buy it, it depends on the harvest situation at the Seven Towers or the Ether Advance Base.

Xia Duo subconsciously squeezed the jade knife in his hand, sighing in his heart, technology is indeed the primary productive force.

……

Next, Xia Duo did not continue to divide the complete spiritual core. With 62 basic spiritual cores, it was enough for him to start the intellectual brain project.

Later, when necessary, it will be divided and added. There is no need to cut them all. If one day needs to complete the spiritual core, then it will be blind.

But today, it may be too late for Xia Duo to build an intelligent brain, so he can only cooperate with these basic spiritual cores to create a new generation of communication instruments.

For him now, this is almost purely physical work.

Until dusk, when Niya returned from the blue crystal plane, he hadn't finished all of it, but he was very satisfied with the steady progress of the project.

At least it started.

When he returns from Sevington tomorrow, Xia Duo will continue. As long as he can build a brain prototype that meets expectations, it will also be a huge boost to the next floating city fan lock project.

This is equivalent to having more than N people researching together. In addition to being lacking in inspiration, other aspects such as theoretical derivation and calculation arrangement will far exceed his own body.

……

That night, perhaps stimulated by the previous events, Nya's enthusiasm exceeded Xia Duo's imagination, so much so that he didn't want to leave Nya's side the next day.

But Severton can postpone it for him once. If it is delayed again, even Horn will think that he is playing with other people.

With a gentle kiss on Niya's forehead, Xia Duo stood up resolutely. Normally, with his big movements, Niya might have woken up, but she was too tired last night, and Niya was still breathing steadily, not pretending to be asleep.

I went to Linshui Village to find something to eat briefly, and brought one for Niya by the way, and then Xia Duo embarked on the teleportation circle to Severton.

……

Austrian Federation.

It was still the unfamiliar high-domed circular hall.

In the center of the hall is a huge round table, surrounded by nineteen seats evenly, corresponding to the nineteen great arcanists that Netheril has disclosed today, and it also heralds the equality of all.

In the center of the round table is a swimming blue glow, in which some mysterious symbols emerge from time to time, which can be used not only as a decoration, but also for projection display.

Before Xia Duo came, he met with Iolum and got the official agenda of the meeting to come. As the convener of this meeting, Xia Duo was naturally the first one to come.

He waited patiently while checking the meeting agenda.

After almost an hour, Iolum appeared at the venue for the second time, and after that, the audiences entered one by one.

In addition to the directors of the federation like Brundes and Auron, there are also senior arcanists who have the authority to come and listen in on their own, or anyone who is brought over.

In theory, even ordinary people could bring it in, but it would be silly to do so.

Although Xia Duo couldn't tell the specific levels of these mages present, he could roughly judge from their clothes, demeanor, and accessories, at least they all started from high levels.

These people were all sitting on the chairs near the wall on the periphery of the circular hall. As the seats on the periphery of the hall gradually filled up, the rest of the great arcanists also began to appear one after another.
