Chapter 540 Epoch-making Progress (Part 2)
Wanwei is actually a knowledge retrieval service, the Ethernet version of [Heart of the North]. How to use it:
A key owner concentrates and sends a connection request packet to the Ethernet spider network through the key.
The information packet contains:
The physical address of the key itself and the spiritual coordinates (IP address) of [Heart of the North] in the Ethernet.
The Ether Spider transmits the information packet to [Heart of the North].
[Heart of the North] receives the information and verifies whether the physical address is in its permitted access list and the specific permissions.
After passing the verification, [Heart of the North] securely shakes hands with the key.
Subsequently, the user of the key constructs a query statement in his mind, such as querying the growth habits, magical properties and common recipes of Starlight Grass.
The key packs the query information into a query information packet and sends it through the Ether Spider's spiritual fiber network.
[Heart of the North] receives the query information packet, starts its own function, starts searching in the knowledge base, and associates relevant knowledge and information.
After finding the corresponding answers and results, [Heart of the North] will package the information and feed it back to the Spirit Vein Fiber Network, which will then be processed by the Ether Spider and send back the source address of the key through the Spirit Vein Fiber Network.
The key is received and the information package is presented to the mage's consciousness.
At this point, a world-wide service is completed.
The whole process for the user is like opening an encyclopedia in the consciousness that can be retrieved in real time.
There is no need to go near [Heart of the North] or carry heavy paper books, you can get the knowledge you need anytime and anywhere.
As for Lingxin, it is actually the communication software that inspired Gaode. It is a tool that solves long-distance communication problems. The whole principle is also very simple. Use [Heart of the North] as an information server to establish a point-to-point spiritual fiber connection.
Once the connection is established, most of the information flow is transmitted directly between the communicating parties, but this requires adding the other party's "friends" first, that is, exchanging and verifying key identifiers in advance.
Similar to the previous life, the entire communication software provides two services, one is non-real-time online chat, that is, the message service.
The user of key A conceives a message, and then the key A encrypts and packages the message, attaches the spiritual world coordinates of key B, and sends it to the [Heart of the North] through the spiritual fiber.
【Heart of the North】First verify whether the user of key A is in the friend list of the user of key B.
After the verification is passed, the message is routed to the user of key B. B's key receives the message, stores it in the temporary storage area, and then returns a "send successfully" prompt to the user of key A.
When the user of key B logs into the Ethernet next time, he will be able to view the corresponding message.
This form is actually similar to a certain letter or a certain Q.
Another service is a near-real-time voice call, which is equivalent to a phone call.
The user of key A initiates a call with the user of key B in the Ethernet. The request is transmitted through the Ether Spider and [Heart of the North] parses and verifies the friend relationship, and then sends a strong "resonance request" to B's key.
Once the user of key B accepts the request, the Ether Spider will establish a temporary,
dedicated spiritual fiber channel between A and B and [Heart of the North]. The thoughts and words of A and B are directly transmitted through this dedicated spiritual fiber.
If either party interrupts the connection, the session will be closed.
In addition, the application layer can also provide some additional small extension functions.
For example, with global broadcast, the administrator of [Heart of the North] can write an announcement and then send the announcement to all key users in the Ethernet at the same time.
For example, information uploading, users with high-level permissions can upload information to a public or private area in [Heart of the North].
The information in the public area can be queried by all users, while the information in the private area is only visible to you or authorized persons.
This will not only enrich the knowledge base of [Heart of the North], but also encourage people in the North to share knowledge and even earn money through knowledge payment to form a virtuous cycle.
There are also some functions that should be realized in Gaode's expectation, but there is no rush now. We will first implement and operate the "Wanwei" and "Lingxin" functions.
After Gothe explained the logic of the maintenance and operation of the entire Northern Ethernet, as well as what the Ether Spider has to do during the entire process, this time [Whispers from the Spirit World] is about to be forcibly ended.
"I will come again in a while. I promise you, as long as you maintain the Ethernet as we agreed, you will be able to get a steady stream of fresh information."
In the end, Gothe solemnly promised the Ether Spider.
"Verification...if it is true...it must be executed...don't worry." Ether Spider replied.
In the continuous communication, the fragmented information it outputs becomes more and more complete.
The meaning is also obvious. As long as the large amount of fresh information flow guaranteed by Amap is real, it will do what Amap tells us.
It may not understand the meaning of "commitment", but it has the concept of equivalent exchange engraved in its instinct.
At this time, Gothe's consciousness shook violently.
The scene in the spiritual world began to become blurry, and the soul fire light pattern on the trunk of Yuga Tshila was quickly dimming.
The next moment, the scene in front of Gothe's eyes began to collapse, and the originally clear spiritual vein fiber network gradually blurred in his field of vision.
When he came back to his senses, what he saw was already the scene of the mage plane.
This time [Whispers from the Spiritual World] is over, but Gao De’s excited heart has not yet calmed down.
No matter how perfect the structure of the Northern Ethernet is, it is ultimately a plan that remains at the level of consciousness.
Only actual testing can verify whether it is really feasible and whether it can realize the two functions of "Wandimensional" and "Lingxin".
Before leaving, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at the [Heart of the North] that had been fixed on the pole of the Yugathila tree.
This is the new location of [Heart of the North]. Moving [Heart of the North] from Phoenix here is Gothe's decision after careful consideration:
On the one hand, there is Yugath Shira here to connect to the spiritual world, and the plane barrier is relatively weak, which is most convenient for the Ether Spider to send its specially customized extremely thick spiritual fiber.
On the other hand, this should be one of the safest places in the north, and it is also convenient for safekeeping.
After all, [Heart of the North] is the only core of the entire Ethernet, and it must not be lost.
Gaode quickly left the core area of Flora Forest and came to the small office building of the Forestry Office. The office room on the second floor was empty, with only an oak table placed by the window. There was a fist-sized golden light ball floating on the table. Gaode took a deep breath, pressed his palm up, and concentrated.
The next moment, the scene in front of him changed instantly.
The original office room disappeared and was replaced by an endless gray-white space.
Yes, that ball of light is a key—the shape of the key is not fixed and is generated based on preference.
The space is vast, except for a huge banner floating in the center of the field of vision. The frame of the banner is a light blue spiritual vein light pattern, which is flickering slightly.
The box has a clean gray-white background, and there is a line of gray words at the bottom, which says in common language "Enter the question you want to query, and Wanwei will present it to you."
In the lower right corner of the banner, a blue scaled-down version of the banner is embedded, with the words "Wanwei Click" written on the surface.
This banner is actually very familiar to Gothe.
It is an enlarged version of the search box.
This is Wanwei Service.
Gaode calmed down, began to concentrate his thoughts, and tried to ask questions.
Considering that the authority of this key is not high, he chose a simple question.
As soon as the thought fell, the gray-white background in the search box suddenly rippled, and the black general characters appeared automatically like water, forming a clear line of text: "What is the spell formula for the first-level spell [Language Mastery]?"
The light dust on the surface of the button exploded instantly, turning into a stream of light blue light and pouring into the search box. There was no sound in the space, only the light pattern under the search box began to flow slowly. After a moment of waiting like a network delay, the specific spell formula about [Language Comprehension] poured into Gothe's consciousness, and he could see it at a glance.
"There is no problem in realizing the multi-dimensional function!" Gaode couldn't help but clench his fists.
Although he can't see the scene in the spiritual world now, he can be sure that this "Wan Dimension" is actually a communication between himself and [Heart of the North]. The information generated is extremely fresh, and it is definitely what the Ether Spider needs most.
This is enough to firmly sustain Ethernet.
Hand-dimensional test is completed, but everything is not over yet.
The next step is to test the "Lingxin" function.
Gaode calmed down and turned his attention to the right side of the search box.
There is an inconspicuous triangular-pointed button suspended there, the whole body composed of light gray light patterns.
Gaode consciousness taps the button, and the triangular-pointed button unfolds like petals. A translucent list slides out from the button and floats in the gray-white space.
It is the "Friends List".
At the top of the list is a light gray banner that says friend list. There is a small "+" button on the right side, which is shaped like a handshake outlined with light patterns, and is used to add new friends.
Each friend entry is a translucent rectangular card with a name written on it.
However, there are only seven friend entries on it:
The King, the War Mother, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Public Security Bureau, the Office, and the Ministry of Construction.
These are the core nodes pre-entered by AutoNavi and are the initial contact network of the Phoenix government system.
At the top of the list, the code name of the key here is also displayed, "Flora's Forest".
Gothe's eyes swept across the list, finally stopping on the "War Mother" card.
His consciousness gently clicked on the card of "War Mother".
The card instantly lit up with a light blue light, and the light patterns spread outward like water waves. At the same time, in the background of the gray-white space, a soft spiritual pulse sound sounded, like a "dial tone."
A rotating halo of light appeared in the center of the card, and a line of small words popped up next to it: "Connecting to the War Mother..."
At the same time, in Phoenix, City Hall, Sunaifa's office.
Sunaifa sat in front of the long table, fingertips unconsciously rubbing the edge of the table.
At this moment, her thoughts were not on the table at all, and her eyes frequently drifted to the ball of light suspended in the center of the table. This golden ball of light, the same style as the one in the forestry office, was extremely eye-catching.
In the room, Aisha, who is the head of the office, is also there.
As the person in charge of the office, she naturally received a simple description of "Ethernet" from Gaode, but she was still doubtful about the functions that Gaode said Ethernet could achieve.
"War Mother, how long do we have to wait?" Aisha couldn't help but ask.
"It should be soon." Sunaifa said softly.
The moment she finished speaking, there was an extremely slight buzzing sound, and the light ball suddenly burst into light.
"Here it comes!" Sunaifa's heart moved and he immediately placed his palm on the ball of light.
Soon, her consciousness also entered the empty space where the search box was suspended.
But what caught Sunaifa's attention more at this moment was a translucent interface that popped up on the right side of the search box.
The top of the interface is a light gray light-patterned title bar, with "Spirit Letter Request" displayed in light blue universal ancient characters in the center, and a line of smaller light-patterned characters dances below the font: "The Forest of Flora is calling..."
At the bottom of the interface are two side-by-side circular patterns, or buttons, one red and one green.
Similarly, both patterns have words written on them.
The green one says connect, the red one says hang up.
When Sunaifa's consciousness touches the green pattern, the halo around the circle will expand slightly, as if responding to her perception.
The edge of the red button is glowing with a steady red light without any dynamic effects. It is in sharp contrast with the green button to avoid accidental touches.
"War Mother, how are you? Can you connect?" Aisha's voice sounded at the edge of Sunaifa's consciousness, "Okay." Sunaifa responded softly first, and then touched the green button with his consciousness.
The green halo exploded suddenly, turning into a stream of light green light that poured into the card.
The words "Flora's Forest is Calling" immediately changed to "Connected".
The words "Flora's Forest" in the center of the card began to vibrate slightly, as if synchronizing the fluctuations of the other party's consciousness.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me? This is Flora's Forest." The next moment, Gothe's voice entered Sunaifa's consciousness very clearly, as if Gothe was standing opposite and talking to her.
"I am Sunaifa, you hear me, this is the Phoenix City Hall." Sunaifa's tone was quite calm, but there was a light of surprise in his eyes unconsciously.
"Okay, okay!" Gothe's undisguised joy came from the other end.
"My king, you are very happy."
"Of course," Gothe's voice was still extremely excited, "Do you know what determines the upper limit of an empire's territory?"
"It is the quality and quantity of mages." Sunaifa replied calmly.
"It's not...throat, you're right..." Sunaifa could clearly feel that the other end of the spiritual letter was a bit "eating".
However, the other party quickly adjusted his mood and continued to speak high-spirited: "Except for mages, the upper limit of an empire's territory is determined by two links. "Two links?" Sunaifa asked curiously at the right time.
"Transportation and communications," Gothe said: "Now, we have solved half of the problem!"
"What a remarkable progress." Sunaifa said truly.
Although his tone was too calm, it seemed somewhat lacking in emotion.
"By the way, I also sent you a message through Lingxin, please check it." Gaode then verified the "message" function of Lingxin.
