Chapter 62 Difficulties
"There are two types of investigative witchcraft: one is the blessing type, and the other is the detection type..."
The blessing type does not require special research. After all, repeated blessing does not increase the effect. Just buy a few more corresponding magical weapons.
The emphasis is on detective sorcery.
"Most conventional detection-type reconnaissance sorcery uses a radar-like detection method, returning a result each time it's used. While the cost is minimal, it does create gaps in detection."
Although there are witchcrafts that can continuously release feedback results, compared with the detection-type reconnaissance witchcraft of the same level, the effective range of this type of witchcraft is much smaller than that of the detection-type reconnaissance witchcraft that releases feedback results once.
"That problem is solvable for me, but I can't deal with another, more important problem."
In addition to the issue of mental energy consumption, the most important thing about detection-type reconnaissance witchcraft is the wizard's information processing ability.
His talismanic magic weapon was made based on the high-intensity absorption of external energy by the immortal cultivation system. It only needs to be activated and has extremely low consumption.
If the detection ability is solidified in the talisman magic weapon, it is entirely possible to release the detection magic continuously without worrying about consumption.
But even if he could really create a talismanic magical device using this method, the effect of Benjamin's use would not be much different from that of an ordinary wizard casting a spell, because his information processing ability could not keep up.
Too much information can affect thinking and even clog it.
If he used talismanic magic tools to release reconnaissance magic too frequently, then the enemy wouldn't even need to do anything, Benjamin would be able to destroy himself.
This is why most detection-type reconnaissance spells are designed to be effective once, rather than as continuous buffs.
With the research capabilities of wizards, it is quite easy to develop a detection-type reconnaissance sorcery with the same range as a one-time detection-type reconnaissance sorcery of the same level and that can be used continuously, but it is meaningless.
The wizard's information processing ability is limited. Although the wizard's computing power will increase rapidly as the level increases, the effective range of different levels of detection-type reconnaissance witchcraft is also increasing exponentially, and the amount of information fed back is increasing terrifyingly.
If you want to turn a detection-type reconnaissance spell into a continuous release effect, you must narrow the detection range to reduce the amount of real-time feedback information.
In previous lives, people used computers to assist in radar detection, but most wizards in this world can only rely on their own brains and souls to process information.
"...Huh? So, what if we could create a computer-like auxiliary device to help process information?"
Jieming had a flash of inspiration and turned on the magic net to search on it.
And the results of the search...how to put it?
Rather subtle.
Wizarding civilizations do have similar things, and they are all very high-level.
Whether it is an artificial soul, a rune artificial intelligence, or a living spirit that combines the advantages of both, they all have the ability to assist in calculations.
The downside is... these things are too high-end!
There are two main issues.
One is the difficulty of production.
Needless to say, artificial souls are the most advanced technology in alchemy. You can't get in touch with this thing unless you are at level six.
The difficulty of the Living Spirit and Rune AI is a little lower, but only a little.
The difficulty of making rune artificial intelligence is not much different from that of making intelligent AI in the previous life, and may even be higher.
From algorithm logic, to response mechanism, to rune program compilation, each one is enough to get you from entry level to mastery.
As we all know, some things are possible or not.
The wizards' training only improves their "hardware" levels such as computing power and thinking speed, and their "software" such as thinking logic will not be affected at all.
No matter how powerful a supercomputer is, only humans can solve difficult mathematical problems.
As for the "Living Spirit" technology, to put it nicely, this technology combines the advantages of rune artificial intelligence and artificial soul.
But the problem is that the difficulty of making this thing also combines the difficulties of both.
"It's almost impossible to create a support with my current strength..."
Even if you directly purchase the complete set of production methods, the time it takes to fully understand and manufacture them is unimaginable.
If he has that much time, Benjamin might as well just improve his hard power.
Only when his strength reaches a certain bottleneck and needs enough time to settle will it be possible for him to go back and study these things.
"The trade-off between increasing strength and knowledge? A world with extraordinary powers is prone to such troubles..."
Another issue is adaptability.
The same problem as the space ring, most of these man-made products can only be used in one or several specific planes. Once they arrive in a new plane, they are likely to become ineffective due to differences in rules or certain constants.
The solution is the same as for the space ring, "just" find a level 6 wizard to help fix the rules.
"After going around in circles, the problem comes back again."
Benjamin scratched his head, thought about it, and sank his consciousness into the depths of his soul to see if his golden finger could provide any solution.
After a moment, Benjamin frowned and opened his eyes:
"This matter is more troublesome than I thought..."
The Dao Book Pavilion also provides many solutions, such as driving souls or creating formation spirits.
But the problem is similar to that in the wizarding world - the strength is too low to do it.
For example, in the simplest case of controlling the soul, if the soul is to assist in calculations, it cannot be as rough as refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but the soul must be preserved as completely as possible.
For cultivators with too low a level of cultivation, simply preserving their souls intact is a difficult task.
"There is a solution, but I can't implement it with my current strength. It seems... I need to improve my cultivation."
Although the idea of strengthening detection-type reconnaissance magic cannot be achieved for the time being, we can first make a reconnaissance talisman magic weapon.
In the following period, Jemin used the magic network to purchase knowledge on runes, alchemy, materials science, plane science, perception witchcraft, etc., and absorbed them eagerly.
However, even the research on simple reconnaissance-type talismanic magical devices is not smooth sailing.
Detection runes are much more elaborate and complex than attack or movement runes.
How to make a talismanic magical device able to "see" things instead of simply releasing energy?
How can we make it possible to transmit back the information it “sees”?
How can we prevent it from emitting energy fluctuations that can be easily detected by the enemy while it is working?
Jemin tried to design various rune combinations, but he soon discovered that the core mechanism of many detection runes in the wizard system was still based on the extension of the caster's mental power.
If this mechanism is directly solidified in an external magical weapon, the effect is often greatly reduced, or the consumption is still huge.
Therefore, the effects of many reconnaissance magic weapons are only similar to enhanced vision, life vision and other types of blessing-type reconnaissance magic, or they use alternative methods to project light and shadow on the target area, rather than directly releasing reconnaissance magic.
