"The infinitely expanding structure of the Weave?" Hearing Rebecca's words, even Gwen was a little confused. "Did you mention this to me before?"
"I didn't mention it to you. You mentioned it to me! Have you forgotten? " "Didn't you tell me before that you want to make the Magic Net more open, more expansive, and easier to lay out, add, and remove units?" Rebecca waved her arms. Gawain was really worried that she would hit his head with the iron staff if her hand slipped. "Didn't you tell me before that you want to make the Magic Net more open, more expansive, and easier to lay out, add, and remove units? I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I couldn't come up with anything. Until a while ago — "
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at Jenny, who was gasping for breath. "Didn't Jenny come a while ago? She even brought the early research materials of the wild sorcerer. That was how I finally completed the system. Ancestor, do you know? The wild sorcerer's notebook can only be considered a part of the results. The Weave in it is only the second half of the conclusion, but without the first half of the derivation process and construction principles, we can only use a very stupid method to 'simulate' the Weave. But the materials in Jenny's hands are the complete set of logic when the wild sorcerer first built the basic runes … "
Rebecca was usually a little silly, but when it came to matters of the field of expertise, she couldn't stop talking. Gwen knew at a glance that this girl would talk until the next meal, so he hurriedly interrupted her. "Stop, stop, stop. I understand what you mean. You've finally gathered all the theories, so you've finally grasped the laws of the Weave from a theoretical level, and you're no longer copying it. I understand this. Show me the infinitely expanding structure you mentioned."
"Let's go inside and take a look. There are so many of them!" Rebecca grabbed Gwen's arm and pulled him towards the tent. As she walked, she turned back and called out to Jenny. "You come too. You're the one who did most of the calculations!"
In Gwen's tent, Rebecca had an excited look on her face as she spread out the papers that Jenny had brought over one by one. They filled the entire table in an orderly manner. Finally, she unfolded the large blueprint in her hand and placed it in the middle of all the papers.
The papers were filled with formulas, geometric figures, and logical induction processes. They used rigorous and unbelievable logic to repeatedly optimize and combine the basic runes. Every piece of paper was densely packed with lines and patterns. Even though Gwen had a lot of knowledge in magic, he only felt dizzy at first glance. But on the last piece of paper that Rebecca spread out, all the complicated calculations and connections had been simplified.
There was only one basic unit diagram on it. It was a hexagonal symmetrical structure composed of eight rune knots. Six of them formed the border and two of them were inside. Its simplicity and elegance were unimaginable. Gawain was deeply attracted to it with just one glance.
"This is …"
"The most basic unit of the magic net." Rebecca's eyes sparkled. "After completing all the possible optimizations and simplifications, I found that the magic net only needs these eight runic knots to perform the most basic charging and output operations. There is only one interference knot inside, so each of these 'units' is far below the interference threshold. The more units are connected, the lower the interference. You see, it's symmetrical and complementary, so … "
Gwen could no longer hear what Rebecca said next. A shocking scene of the future appeared before his eyes.
The hexagonal basic unit was expanding and extending. Through its basic symmetrical structure, countless hexagons were connected into a beehive-like shape. It was spread everywhere, covering factories, cities, and places where humans lived. This great energy device had finally gotten rid of the restriction of the 'magic circle'. After Rebecca and Jenny optimized it day and night, it became the smallest basic unit and thus the biggest magical wonder.
The magic net could finally become a magic 'net'.
"How do we connect this structure with the 'Magic Net No.1'?" Gwen immediately asked a very practical question.
The first and second Magic Net No.1 were currently working in the steel factory and brick kiln factory. There were also a few small 'prototype magic nets' in the mines and other places to provide power for the magic engine. Although these old models of magic nets were 'old', in fact, the oldest one had only been running for a few months. Now, Rebecca had created a more advanced 'beehive magic net', but it was not cost-effective to tear down the old models and replace them with new ones. The manpower and material resources would be a great waste to the territory.
"Don't worry, I've thought about it." Rebecca was obviously not worried about this. "The hexagonal structure you see is completely different from the previous magic net, but in fact, it was cut out and transformed from the old model. The two can be directly connected. We just need to slightly modify the runic pattern at the connection point. Jenny is a level four runemaster. She's the best at this. "
Gwen nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. From now on, all the magic nets in the territory will be built with the new 'beehive magic net' as the foundation. But there's one thing to confirm. How safe is it?"
At this time, Gwen's mind was a very serious hidden danger of the 'collapse of the magic net'.
Although Rebecca had found a way to simplify the magic net and form an infinitely expanding network, there was no doubt that there was a huge hidden danger. When all the magic nets were connected, it meant that the risk of overload was also connected together. A huge amount of magic power would surge in this infinitely expanding structure. Once there was a problem, the rampaging magic power would likely dissipate along the magic net and destroy all the magic equipment connected to it.
On Earth, there were various circuit breakers, voltage regulators, and other safety equipment to ensure the safety of the power grid. So Gwen's first thought was that the magic net might need similar safety measures.
Rebecca was stunned when she heard Gwen's words. Her mouth was agape for a long time before she said, "Ah … I really didn't think about it …"
Then, her face was full of admiration. "Ancestor, you're amazing! Why is it that every time a new thing is drawn, you're able to think of so many practical problems as if you've been watching it for decades? "
"Ahem … the experience of an old man, an old man." Gwen coughed awkwardly and brought the topic back on track. "Now think about how to solve the security problem of the network. All the magic power in the honeycomb structure flows freely, completely relying on the self-balancing and energy dissipation mechanism of the magic net itself to ensure the stability of the magic power. But once the self-balancing of a part of the 'units' goes out of control, the excessive magic power will exceed the limit of the neighboring units. It is likely to burn all the neighboring units in an instant, and then it will be a vicious cycle … "
Rebecca's eyes widened as if she was frightened by the possible scenario. Beside her, Jenny frowned and thought hard. "Then we … don't make the magic net too big. Let's divide it into regions."
"Then the value of this honeycomb structure will be lost." Gwen shook his head. "This honeycomb structure is to allow the magic net to expand infinitely and connect."
Rebecca looked at Gwen curiously. "Ancestor, what do you mean?"
Gwen looked down at the honeycomb unit on the table and suddenly asked, "How do two honeycomb units like this connect together?"
"Direct connection." Rebecca nodded matter-of-factly. "The two rune knots are placed together, so the transmission efficiency is the highest."
"Make the connection between them weak." There seemed to be no suitable solution in the knowledge of this world, so Gwen could only turn to the ideas of his previous life. "You can add a partition … cheap black stone connectors are good. Black stone is a magic conductor material, but it has poor resistance. It will shatter directly when the magic power fluctuates violently."
"You mean, each honeycomb unit is separated from the other units by a little, and add a 'buffer material' made of black stone in the middle?" Rebecca scratched her head. "But the magic conduction efficiency of black stone is not high. I am afraid that the efficiency of the entire magic net will be reduced by more than a quarter …"
"But in exchange, it is safe. Even if a few units go out of control, they will only leave the main network on their own and will not endanger other things," Gwen explained. "As for the reduction in efficiency, these basic units will make up for the lack of efficiency after a large number of them are connected. And this is just a preliminary solution. I will definitely find a better one in the future. "
As he spoke, Gwen laughed. "The magic net is still very primitive now. Even with the honeycomb structure, it is still very primitive. It directly draws energy from the environment, and then the magical equipment directly receives energy from the magic net. There is no safety buffer process, no steady flow, no measurement, and even no 'conduit'. The energy-consuming equipment directly attaches itself to the magic net. Don't you think this connection method is worth improving? "
Rebecca nodded thoughtfully. Jenny, on the other hand, was still not used to this completely equal way of communicating. She seemed a little reserved, but the flickering look in her eyes was enough to show that she was thinking about what Gawain said.
"This is a new thing. It still has a long way to go." Gwen did not let the two girls figure out the problems that might take a long time to solve on the spot. "Take it slow. There is no rush. This time you have made a great contribution. Do you want any reward? "
"I want to get a new crystal for my staff!" Rebecca was not going to be polite with her great-grandfather. She immediately waved her iron staff happily. "Look, the crystal on the staff is very old!"
Gwen took a look and saw that the crystal on the top of the iron staff was indeed old. Not only was its luster dim, but it was also missing a few small corners. The claw that held the crystal in place was also clearly deformed …
Only a warhammer user could do this, right?!
Gwen's eyebrows twitched. He wanted to persuade his granddaughter not to change the crystal. It would be better to get a prickly triangular stick and weld it on. But then he thought that the girl had made a great contribution, and the last bit of her mage aura was supported by the crystal. He sighed and said, "There is a fire elemental core in the treasury. It was brought out from the Kingdom of Gondor. Take it and let the rune craftsmen process it and install it on your staff."
Then he looked at Jenny. "What about you? What reward do you want? "
Jenny immediately shrunk her neck. "I … I just did what I should do … I dare not ask for a reward …"
"Still not used to this place?" Gwen laughed. "Here, all contributions are valued and rewarded. It does not care about your background and status. I just heard from Rebecca that the main calculation process was done by you. "
"I …" Jenny hesitated and finally said, "I hope you can add Mr. Ravenketh's name to the list of contributors to the beehive-type magic network. He was the one who came up with the most important formulas."
