Chapter 880: 275. Magical Advantage
After breakfast, Noland Lee had Denise Green cast a “Strong Energy Abundance” spell on him and then plunged back into intensive work.
The main material required for the magic crystal tube was Thunder and Lightning Energy, each consuming 100 million points.
Noland spent half a day’s ti, crafting 15 magic crystal tubes.
Combined with the one he had made during the trial, he now had 16 in total, corresponding to an added computing power of 160,000 per second.
The magic access ter was a bit troubleso to construct.
Before starting on the magic crystal tubes, Noland wrote a letter to Silent Witch Jasmine Morgan who was in Union City, entrusting her to purchase the Alchemy Materials necessary for the magic access ter.
...
This deal was a profitable one for Comini.
Noland would give her gold coins, and she would use Union Coins to buy the Alchemy Materials.
Considering the extre imbalance in exchange rates between Union Coins and Ulnas Gold Coins, Comini spent only a fraction of the actual cost to obtain the materials Noland needed, netting tens of thousands of gold coins in profit.
Noland was aware of this, yet he still chose to proceed without hesitation.
The reason was nothing other than to establish a good relationship with Comini under the guise of trade.
Comini was rely a Seven-ring Battle Witch; by maintaining a distance and employing ntal Magic, Noland could easily defeat her.
So why did Noland value Comini so highly?
The main reason was:
Noland did not consider Comini as an opponent or enemy.
To be precise, he regarded the entire “Silent Maiden” faction as his allies.
Comini, Erica, and even Jenny whom he had only t a few tis, were all his partners now or in the future.
Noland provided them with gold coins to help strengthen their combat abilities, enhancing his own external aid power.
What he spent now was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but when the ti ca to ask for help, they could well turn into committed external assistance.
Spend small money, accumulate goodwill, handle big affairs, this was the approach Noland took in dealing with “Silent Maiden”.
After completing the 15 magic crystal tubes, Comini sent over the Alchemy Materials.
Noland called Selena Williams to assist him, with Nolin observing by the side.
In cooperation with Selena, it took Noland five hours to construct the first magic access ter.
The finished product looked similar to the alchemical access device.
The difference lay within its alchemy array, which used Thunder and Lightning Energy instead of Four Elents energy.
A tal cylinder about thirty centiters in diater served as the base of the magic access ter, its grey appearance wrapped in a layer of unadorned tal skin.
Above the base was a glass sphere floating in mid-air, roughly the size of a human head.
The base was akin to a personal computer’s case, while the glass sphere was equivalent to a computer peripheral that combined a display, mouse, and keyboard into one.
Upon placing the magic crystal tube into the base and activating the access ter, the glass sphere projected the operating interface onto the wall.
Because it utilized the “Alchemical Access Instrunt Interaction Array,” the interface now displayed on the wall was identical to what Noland had seen in the Alchemy Academy.
“I’m increasingly convinced that the Golden Federation is no simple entity.”
Noland fiddled with the glass ball for a while, carefully observing the operating interface.
When he previously went to the Alchemy Academy to gather information, his focus was on data related to the Fissure Corridor, without delving deeper into the alchemical access device.
Now upon inspection, Noland detected many unusual aspects.
The operating interface was constructed using the Federation’s language, lines, rectangles, and other simple geotric shapes, appearing quite rudintary but fully functional.
Its functions included inputting characters, composing Alchemy Formulas, establishing databases, and calculating alchemy outcos among others.
The genuine alchemical access device used Four Elents Power, while this magic access ter used Thunder and Lightning Energy supplied by the magic crystal tubes.
There was no functional difference between the two for the ti being.
This indicated that the alchemical access device had great energy adaptability.
Nolin tested the magic access ter and ca to a preliminary conclusion:
“Sir, the remarkable device that you and Miss Selena Williams have crafted performs on par with the personal computers from the tal Creation Group 300 years ago in terms of performance and convenience.
“The 16 magic crystal tubes provide computing power of 160,000 points per second, of which the Alchemy Access Instrunt Interaction Array occupies about 120,000 points. The remaining computing power amounts to 40,000 points per second.
“The 16 magic crystal tubes provide a storage capacity of 160 million Crystal Lattice points. Similarly, the Interaction Array also occupies so of the lattice. The number of lattices currently available for our disposal is 40 million points.”
Nolin pointed at the Magic Pen on the Craftsman Table:
“Perhaps, it would be easier to understand this device if I used the language of magic to asure it.
“When I write a docunt with nine Magic Pens simultaneously, the computing power output is approximately 45,000 points, and the number of characters and images written per second would fill about 4.5 sheets of Draft Paper.
“The data volu of 4.5 sheets of Draft Paper would occupy 4.5 Crystal Lattices.
“The computing power output level of this magic access ter is similar to that of nine Magic Pens. Its data storage space is equivalent to 45 million sheets of Draft Paper.”
Noland Lee said:
“I understand now. With this rudintary magic access ter, we now have nine automatically operating Magic Pens and 45 million blank sheets of Draft Paper. Do you have a way to fully utilize its performance? Operating this set of magic access ters will also consu so of your own computing power, won’t it?”
“Yes, sir.” Nolin pondered for a mont:
