A Qi had not been researching the communication magic circle recently, so Liszt left A Qi's lab to ask the Mage Tower if the mages from the Guild of Magic had come up with a solution.
But before he could ask, Kris had already arrived at Thorn Castle.
"Kris, you're here so early today?"
Usually, Kris would come to Thorn Castle in the afternoon to be A Qi's assistant in magic experiments and ask about magic. She now considered herself as A Qi's student and was about to become A Qi's lackey. Of course, any mage would be happy to become a Magic Shooter's lackey.
"Your Highness, there's some progress in the Guild of Magic's experimental project. I'm about to report it to His Excellency Liszt." Facing Liszt, Kris was equally respectful.
She was willing to be a Magic Shooter's lackey, but she was also willing to be a Dragon Knight's lackey. Anyway, in the Fire Territory, Magic Shooters and Dragon Knight were one family, so there was no need to distinguish who was the lackey.
"Oh, what's the progress?"
"There's some progress in the communication magic circle proposed by Your Highness. We've successfully drawn a magic circle that can trigger Mana Retroaction from a distance, but we're still far from the communication stage."
Just as he was about to look for it, the solution came knocking on his door.
Liszt was overjoyed. "Tell me more … Let's go to A Qi's lab first. Let's go!"
Returning to the lab, Kris carefully explained the results of their experiment. Generally speaking, some kind of magic circle could trigger Mana Retroaction. For example, releasing fire magic into a magic circle would trigger the activation of fire magic, but the activation was irregular.
They could not use magic to form Serpentines to transmit information.
The magic circle here formed a word with runes, but the magic circle on the other side would still be agitated and would not form the same word.
The mages from the Guild of Magic could not solve this problem, so they were ready to report it to A Qi.
However, Liszt's eyes lit up. "Kris, does this magic circle only correspond to the same type of magic? For example, fire magic can only correspond to fire magic, and water magic can only correspond to water magic?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"If that's the case, it's very easy to solve!"
"Ah, Your Highness, is there any way to solve this problem?" Kris was very surprised. Although she knew that Liszt was very knowledgeable in magic theory, there was a big difference between theory and practice, especially when it came to magic arrays.
A Qi also looked at Liszt curiously, but she wasn't surprised.
In her heart, Liszt was the most erudite scholar in the world, full of vast wisdom. Most of her knowledge was imparted to her by Liszt, and it was also thanks to Liszt's teachings that she could come into contact with the Weave and become a Magic Shooter. If Liszt were to become a mage, he would become a Magic Shooter sooner or later.
Liszt smiled.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "It's actually very simple. There are eight types of magic power: water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice, and darkness. Since each type of magic power can only interact with magic power of the same type, we can create an octal coding program based on the eight types of magic power."
"Octal coding program?"
"Let's use fire magic power to represent 0, water magic power to represent 1, and so on. Let's use dark magic power to represent 7. This way, every octal can be converted to 1, and our language can be converted into eight numeric expressions from 0 to 7 according to this octal code."
"Can it be expressed like this?" A Qi and Kris were a little confused.
Humans naturally used decimal systems because a pair of hands had ten fingers, and counting to ten would increase one digit. However, there were only eight types of magic power, so there was no way to use decimal systems and could only be converted to octal systems.
Of course.
Liszt suggested again, "In fact, octal systems are still too cumbersome. After all, the four types of magic power are very rare, and many ordinary mages will not practice these attributes. I personally think it's more practical to use binary coding."
The two continued to be confused. "Binary?"
"Fire magic power represents 0, water magic power represents 1, and binary can be expressed smoothly … For example, 1 in binary is one streak of water magic power, 2 is one streak of water magic power and one streak of fire magic power, 3 is two streaks of water magic power, 4 is one streak of water magic power, 2 streaks of fire magic power …"
After listening to Liszt's tongue-twister-like narration, Kris continued to be confused and confused.
But A Qi listened in fascination and quickly understood. "So as long as there is a constant combination of 0 and 1, any information can be expressed?"
"Yes."
"Brother, A Qi seems to have understood that as long as the runes of the magic array are used to control it, the Mana Retroaction can be quickly transmitted. This way, there is no need to achieve the same magic activity on both sides of the magic array, as long as the order of the feedback attributes is correct."
"Yes, that's it … I have already told you the specific coding method. Next, A Qi, you will take the lead and make binary coding Serpentines … First, make simple, commonly used text coding, as long as it can be used. I plan to put it on the expedition fleet. Then let the mages of the Guild of Magic slowly code it. "
…
While A Qi led the mages of the Guild of Magic to digest octal and binary coding, Liszt himself was also deep in thought.
He had a sudden inspiration.
If the magic array could be expressed in binary, and if it was a little more complicated, could it be transformed into a calculator, or even evolved into a computer? Perhaps due to the limitations of materials, it could not be popularized into a home magic computer, but it was not impossible to make it into a supercomputer.
"Is there such a possibility?"
Maybe not, or maybe there is.
But even if a computer could be made, the difficulty would be immense. There were too many theories involved, especially the logic of some hardware, which could not be figured out in a short period of time. Even if mages were smart people, they would still be confused when they were suddenly exposed to a whole new system.
"If there is time, I can talk to A Qi about this idea. The rest depends on whether the mages are willing to study it or not. Anyway, I don't have time to make a computer."
Having tasted the thrill of riding a dragon, Liszt had long been immersed in power and could not extricate himself. He no longer cared so much about the industrial revolution or the scientific and technological revolution. Living in such a fantasy world and exploring the secrets of the entire world was far more interesting than developing science and technology.
The smoke mission during the New Year's Day was a good expression of his wishes.
"The world is big, and there are still many wonderful things that have not been experienced. Whether it is the sea or the continent, they are all waiting for you to explore."
…
After the New Year's Day.
After sending off Marquis Merlin's family, and then Marquis Oxtail's family.
Even Madam Penélope and Lvera left Thorn Castle. They had not returned to their castle for a long time, and there were too many accumulated things waiting to be dealt with.
The noisy and lively atmosphere of Thorn Castle suddenly became cold and cheerless.
However, Liszt did not reveal any "all good things must come to an end" melancholy, because he had more important things to deal with.
Mary Dawn Daybreak had returned from the Eagle Kingdom and brought news of the Fire Mountain Wyvern Phoenix.
There was indeed a Fire Mountain in a wilderness of the Eagle Kingdom, and there were indeed local residents who had heard of the Wyvern Phoenix. They had also seen a great noble lord leading Orders of Chivalry to the Fire Mountain to capture the Wyvern Phoenix, but in the end, more than half of the Orders of Chivalry returned without success. Not only did they not find the Phoenix, but they were also almost wiped out by World of Warcraft in the forest.
"A Qi, make a coded communication magic circle as soon as possible. We will test the limit of the communication magic circle and the strength of the long-distance transmission signal on the way."
