"She really can figure it out!"
Regardless of whether the central carrier used the additive method or the linear multiplication method, the fact that she could get the answer in an instant showed that her calculation ability was far superior to that of an ordinary person. Even if she could only answer yes or no, it would still be of great help to the Arithmetic Academy. At least she could use it to verify the result and reduce the error rate of large-scale complex calculations.
Roland squatted down happily and patted the main tentacle. "You're amazing."
The red light went out.
"Your Majesty, she can't communicate with you," Pasha reminded him.
"She can understand what I say and answer yes or no. This is already a kind of communication." The essence of communication was receiving and giving back. At most, she could only say that she was limited by the output and could not talk like a normal person. Roland waved his hand carelessly. Maybe it was time to try to see if she could really only give a yes or no expression.
"Think of one glowing tentacle as one, two as two, and so on. Can you use the red light to represent three?" Roland thought for a while and asked.
This question was much simpler than the multiplication of five-digit numbers, but the meaning behind it was very different. If she answered yes, it meant that she could use more complex expressions to expand the feedback content. With her super calculation ability, she might even be able to display the result directly.
However, the central carrier did not give an immediate answer like before. After a few seconds, one of the tentacles glowed red, another glowed faintly, and the last one remained silent.
According to Celine, one glowing, one weak, and one extinguished meant that the answer was 30% correct.
Unfortunately, the answer did not last long.
The glimmering one was quickly extinguished, and even the tentacle that glowed red at first also dimmed after a while.
Now, the answer was no.
"This is..."
"Your question is beyond her ability," Celine sighed. "If she answers yes, it means that she needs to give an answer beyond yes or no, which will aggravate the confusion in her mind." She paused and then continued, "In fact, we've tried to let the central carrier express simple meanings or even short sentences. But once it exceeds a simple judgment of right or wrong, her response speed will be greatly reduced, and she will easily fall into confusion like now." "
In other words, is there a logical obstacle? " Roland frowned and said, "Is it okay … for her to be like this?"
"She'll recover after some rest." Celine waved her tentacles. "At that time, I asked her some contradictory questions. As a result, she ignored us for half a month. "
It seemed that the biological computer was not that easy to learn, he thought to himself. Since the central carrier could determine the result of the calculation, it meant that she knew the answer. The key was how to display the answer in its original form. Perhaps he had to find a way to answer with yes and no, but also to express it in a complex way. Only then would he be able to achieve this.
However, this idea was beyond the scope of his knowledge. Coding and engineering were hostile to each other, and there was almost no overlap in their professional content. After thinking about it for a while, Roland gave up on the idea of doing research on his own.
"By the way, I remember you said that the carrier needs soil and heat to maintain its vitality. Is there magma here too?"
[Fran hasn't dug that deep yet, but we've found a boiling river. There should be a lava zone nearby. "In addition, there is a smell of sulfur in the river, and it feels good to soak in it. If you want to ask about the central carrier, we draw a lot of hot water to give her a bath every few days, so you don't have to worry about this. "
In other words, magma was not a necessity, and hot water could make do with it. This was undoubtedly good news. If he wanted to lure her to the Computation Academy, he only needed to provide a boiler to boil water to meet her daily needs.
Of course, it was far from the time to mention this matter. The Taquila witches had just moved and had not officially joined the United Front. At this time, it would undoubtedly be difficult to ask for her. Moreover, when those astrologers saw such a huge tentacle monster, they might not be able to maintain their sage demeanor in the past.
Everything had to wait until the exploration of the snow mountain was completed and both sides had established basic trust.
After leaving the secret chamber, the tour of the "Third Border City" came to an end. At present, the outline of this underground city had been excavated, and at best, it was just an underground residence. When all the passages connecting the Impassable Mountain Peaks were opened, it would be like a real hidden stronghold, connected with the turrets and camps on the ground as a whole, becoming a part of the Impassable Mountain Defense Line.
When Roland returned to the castle, he immediately summoned the directors of the major departments in the City hall to the reception hall. Then, as everyone gasped, a purple light curtain slowly opened and enveloped the entire hall.
Even though they had been warned in advance, when this unimaginable illusion really appeared in front of everyone, all the managers' expressions changed drastically. The younger Minister of Agriculture, Sirius Daly, even accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. Barov kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, while Kyle Sichi and Astrologer of Dispersion Star widened their eyes. If it were not for the fact that His Majesty was still sitting in the main seat, they would have fled.
The only one who could still be considered calm was Edith. Although this woman from an aristocratic family in the Northern Region had also shrunk back, her eyes were still mixed with excitement and curiosity. Moreover, Roland unexpectedly noticed that there was a trace of reverence in her eyes when she looked at him.
Well, he had to admit that women's thoughts were really hard to understand.
Except for Edith, the reactions of the others were basically within Roland's expectations.
However, since they wanted to form a united front against the demons, it was impossible to keep the existence of the Taquila survivors a secret forever. They would show up on the stage sooner or later. Rather than asking the City hall about the strange phenomenon at the foot of the mountain in the north of the Border Area, it would be better for him to introduce the ancient witches to everyone first.
After more than two years of training, this group of people should have seen a lot of things, and their ability to accept new things had also greatly improved.
However, after Roland finished explaining the origin and purpose of the tentacle sarcoma, as well as the cooperation plan to explore the snow mountain, most of the managers showed considerable resistance. If it were not for the fact that the ancient witches had some relations with the Witch Union, they would probably have regarded them as alien creatures like the demons.
Director Barov said that the Finance Department had now entered the year-end final settlement stage, so it was not convenient to make new logistical plans. Moreover, the Months of Demons had not yet ended, and a team had already been sent to the Southernmost Region. If they sent more troops to the snow mountain, it might lead to a shortage of defense forces in the Border Area.
Chief Knight Carter frankly said that the joint operation was not safe, and that the danger might come from within. His distrust was obvious.
Sirius, the Minister of Agriculture, stammered that the food reserves might be tight because of the troop deployment plan, and if the news spread, it would easily cause panic among the residents.
Carr, the Minister of Construction, was worried that if the ancient witches were allowed to hollow out the mountain, it would cause instability in the upper mining area and lead to collapse.
In short, there were all kinds of strange reasons, but the main idea was basically the same: "Your Majesty, please think twice! "
The discussion reached an impasse for a while.
If this was a parliamentary discussion, it was obvious that it would be difficult to carry out the cooperation plan.
However, Roland did not forget that he was the final arbiter, the Lord of Neverwinter, and also the King of Graycastle.
At this time, it was time for him to forcefully implement the plan.
