After leaving Firefly City, we visited the Magic Academy, Central Cooling Tower, and Slime Mold Center, spent the night in New Pettus, held a meeting, and returned to the Royal Court.
Now let’s process the squeezed official documents and sort out the various reports we got from this round.
It takes a lot of meetings to go around, because many detailed things are not reported to his level. This is also a sign that the public service system is gradually maturing. Holding a round of meetings this time is equivalent to re-understanding the dynamics at the grassroots level.
After sorting out the information, a comprehensive score was given based on prospects, processing difficulty, and time consumption. In the end, the evolution of the slime mold got the highest score.
Slime mold people are mainly cultivated through the slime mold center next to the central cooling tower. Only Wang Qi can do the core work, so there is no consideration in terms of manpower loss and engineering difficulty, it just depends on whether it can be realized.
Then, by improving the practicality of the slime mold people, a group of hundreds of thousands of people can be quickly formed. If the right environment is used, it is possible to expand the small kingdom to millions of people within a few years, which can be called a shortcut to the development of civilization. .
The cost is low and the benefits are huge, so there is no reason not to pay attention to it.
The main contradiction that exists now is still memory and lifespan.
There is currently no particularly good way to improve the lifespan of slime molds. The ecological niche gap between humans and slime molds is too great, and it is difficult to continue to reduce the loss of simulated cell differentiation. Even if several versions continue to be optimized, the basic lifespan of 33 to 35 days may reach its limit.
In terms of longevity, it is best to use external cooling devices to advance.
For example, clothing with a liquid cooling system made of antifreeze has something similar to an air conditioner on the back, so that the surface temperature of the whole body can be close to freezing point or even lower.
Wang Qi still has to work on his memory.
There are three ways to go.
The first one is to ask Solaris for help, redesign the underlying system of the slime mold collection, and directly enter Qin language as the initial language of the slime mold people.
The second one is to start from the spiritual body level and rely on in-depth research and transformation of spiritual bodies to install a language system on them.
Article 3: Wang Qi relies on himself and the strength of the research system to slowly adjust the memory storage mechanism of the slime mold to achieve 100% inheritance of some brain functions or to add a language backup system.
The first of the three lines seems to be the easiest, but Wang Qi doesn't really want to use it.
Solaris once said that even if the local will of the world is aware of her, it is difficult to understand her form of existence.
From a superficial explanation, it can be said that because the local will is not mature enough, cognitive things rely heavily on instinct rather than thinking.
But there is another situation - the magnitude of the host material that Solaris released locally is not enough, and she cannot exert enough power to make the local will recognize it.
This point can be circumstantially proven by the scene passing by Solaris' home stadium when she moved from Elena's hometown to the exile.
For the real Solaris, the transformation of the entire world into a floating island will never be completed in years. It will probably be completed in a few days. Even if the material she uses is herself, the quality of that material is definitely not a place of exile. The difference between slime molds is at least ten or twenty zeros.
In the previous big collision, Solaris only responded as an afterthought and did not cast the magic to protect the Royal Tree on the spot.
Taken together, these clues probably indicate that the total amount of power that Solaris can use locally is relatively limited, and there is no major matter of life and death. It is better to have less trouble at this stage.
Perhaps by cultivating the total amount of slime mold and magic slime mold people, the total energy level of Solaris can be increased. However, Wang Qi believed that he knew too little about Solaris and did not want to be too reckless. If other routes failed, it would not be too late to find them.
In the end, I decided to push the last two together.
For the spirit line, the institute has too many tasks and the professional counterpart situation is not good. It is better to transfer it to the magic academy. If it is not possible to open a spirit system or even an undead system, or simply call it the slime mold system, it will be more popular.
Academic support for slime mold modification is more difficult to come by.
But it's not a big problem.
We have already learned in Firefly City that spirits who were magicians during their lifetime are better than ordinary spirits in all aspects.
Let’s try it first to see if we can directly inject mysterious attributes into the spirit body.
After sending a letter to Yinghuo, a batch of five crystal balls with spirit bodies sealed were delivered to the palace within a few days.
Wang Qi asked Li Xiang to make statistics on the magic learning status of all members of the inner court, and to make sure that they could cope with various emergencies, he directly released them in the Blessing Hall where the Solaris statue was located.
The ghosts cannot sense the outside world inside the crystal. When they are released, they are confused about the situation and float around.
Seeing that two of them were about to go through the wall, Wang Qi quickly activated the special effect spell: "Come in front of me."
The spell he used was called [Spiritual Chain], a three-ring spell and the first three-ring spell he learned. It is a highly versatile enchantment and conjuration spell.
Commonly used scenarios for mental chain are when facing unknown threats or illusion-based risks. It is used among team members. It has two effects: shared mental damage and a certain degree of thinking synchronization. The former can greatly reduce mental spell trauma and being controlled by illusion. The latter depends on the team's tacit understanding and personality similarity. The effects of different teams vary widely. It is said that the best teams can achieve absolute mental synchronization.
What Wang Qi needs now is the third effect of the spiritual chain, spiritual communication.
Ghosts are not real objects. They rely solely on themselves and cannot make sounds or hear. Only spirits that can cast spells can interfere with the physical world. They are generally called evil spirits and resentful spirits.
The ghost itself is a ball of energy composed of magic and spiritual power. The cost of casting magic is too high for them, just like humans bleeding to perform skills. If it is not necessary, even magic is of little use.
Therefore, it is necessary to cast a spell on them that can receive information so that they can communicate.
The information exchange method provided by the spirit chain is bottom-level information, which is not affected by language and is a step further than language general knowledge. However, the type of information that can be output is relatively small, but it is also suitable for the relatively simple form of the spirit body.
The ghost heard him speak and stopped walking through the wall, but it didn't stop floating around either.
These spirits are all ex-mage spirits that have changed bodies in the past few days. Unfortunately, they still don't have particularly identifiable faces, and Wang Qi can't figure out whether they are facing him head-on or backwards.
Wang Qi secretly whispered to Li wanted to be next to him, and then repeated to the spirits: "Come in front of me."
Li wanted to cooperate with him and cast a special effect trick [Psychic Fragment] in front of him. She learned this trick because she wanted to add the special effect of scattered pearls to herself when fighting, but none of the enemies could withstand her blow. Haven't found a chance to use it yet.
Psionic fragments were not developed as special-effect spells. They were originally basic spells of the undead system. They were used to feed the undead and were also the main bait for capturing spirits.
The undead can absorb psychic fragments when they touch them, but it is obvious that the small light spots produced as a "trick" cannot actually enhance them, but only make them feel "comfortable", and it is only a mental feeling.
The effect was good. All the spirits in the blessing hall came to the light spot area, as if they really understood.
Wang Qi first fished a handful with his hands, but to no avail.
Then use [Mage's Hand]. This second-level creation spell is very practical. It can not only lift weights and block, it is almost a compulsory spell for all types of mages. There are many versions. The one Wang Qi learned is one that can touch the spirit body. This version can be used as a physical or magic double protective shield, but the defensive effect is not as good as a professional shield.
This time I pinched a lump and the panel actually popped out!
There's drama!
