The magician in the city

Chapter 128 Crystals

Chapter 120 Seven

Mahjong carefully completed the last calculation and setting. On the rosewood table in front of him, a small crystal floated in the air and rotated quietly.The golden characters in the ear stud continued to flow out, Mahjong closed his eyes and softly sang the secret words he had woven, and those secret words full of magical power were interwoven into complex orders.The calculation crystal was activated immediately, and began to process the data in the ear bone stud. The golden data continued to flow, like silk threads turning into pieces of cloth.

There was the sound of walking at the door, and Mahjong raised his head. In order to prevent the bulldozing Roach from being too noisy, he opened a study room in the wing room in the front yard, and spent half a day dusting it and clearing away the piled up old things.

Mahjong leaned back in the armchair relaxedly, watching Guan Xinyue walk in lightly.Her dressing style is somewhat similar to Roach's, but she is really from the same generation.Facing Mahjong's eyes, she showed a childish smile, waved her overlong sleeves, and her sneakers stepped on the carpet he had just created with magic, and he tried not to grin his teeth.

"Roach passed the exam," she said, running to the chair next to Mahjong and sitting down, feet on another ancient chair, stretching her slender calves wrapped in jeans.

Mahjong withdrew his attention from the Qing Dynasty furniture, "Passed? By his thoughts? Not by his hardworking hands?"

Guan Xinyue laughed and understood what he meant, she said, "Brother Du is looking at him, he can't cheat. It's not filling the soil with a shovel, it's really done with ideas, tired and sweaty , his face turned red. If he hadn't succeeded in the end, he would be a charlatan practicing qigong in the old photos."

"How many times have you succeeded?" Mahjong asked again.

"I don't remember that. At one point, it was like a sandstorm was blowing up in the yard, but later he controlled the soil bit by bit, as if someone lifted the soil into a pit by handfuls." Guan Xinyue sighed sympathetically Tone, "That's why I've been working until now. Ah, by the way, Du Ge asked me to ask you what to eat tonight? All the barbecue utensils I bought online yesterday have arrived. If you have no objection..."

"Okay, I have no problem with BBQ." Mahjong said relaxedly, "Anyway, my work here is only left with the automatic calculation steps."

Guan Xinyue turned her head to look at the slightly rotating diamond-shaped crystals on the mahjong desk. She has become used to the mage's gadgets these days. "I've always been curious about why a stone can calculate and decrypt."

Mahjong also looked at Crystal, and explained casually, "I have analyzed the structure of the puzzle left by your grandfather, and selected a suitable calculation model for calculation. Look at this."

He made a dragging motion with his fingers, and the set of strange golden symbols split into several information clouds, "After analyzing the past few days, I got these simplified results based on the approximate correlation, and the rest is cloud one by one. Calculate. But if I made a mistake in the process of simplification at the beginning, and the calculation result is unreasonable, then I have to go back, recheck the calculation model, and redo the simplification process. But..."

Mahjong clasped his hands in front of his forehead and muttered, "But please don't!" He put down his hands and pushed his glasses nervously, "In the end, this should be the work of a group of calculators, and each calculator follows a Each possibility is independently modeled, and everyone completes a simplified model and calculates synchronously. Unfortunately, it is only me now, and the parallel calculation has become a linear calculation, which is too stressful."

He shook his head and waved a thin golden cloud casually, "This is your collection of personal information. Your information is the key to these calculations, the key to the puzzle. If you can't get the result from these calculations, girl, I I have to keep digging you."

"I don't have any privacy at all anymore." Guan Xinyue made a grimace, "If you want to know more about me, for example, I can't remember when I didn't pee my pants. But what I am curious about is not these, I can't understand so many words you said, what I am curious about is why this fast crystal can calculate?"

"Because it is a computing crystal, I spent a lot of credits to buy it." Mahjong looked at the crystal lovingly, as if it was a pet he had kept for many years, "Special crystals have special purposes, such as It is said that the crystals in the Pendragon orbit are used to start fixed point-to-point space travel, some hallucinogenic crystals can produce hypnotic effects, and some sandbox crystals can create a new space-you have seen it the last time you went out with Du Zhengyi Oh, oh, that thing is so expensive and so rare that few people can afford it except Du Zhengyi... So, what's so strange about the Yikuai computing crystal being used to perform computing functions?"

Guan Xinyue's face was full of confusion, "Yes, speaking of it, I've always been curious about this, aren't hypnotic crystals and sandbox crystals the same?"

"That's different." Mahjong smiled. "In fact, the difference is very simple. The world created by hallucinogenic crystals is unreal, but the space created by sandbox crystals is real. For example, you saw that bookstore, that bookstore It really exists, but the sandbox is often nested with hypnotic hallucinations. However, the meaning of the sandbox is mainly the enchantment, and mages can overturn the sky in the sandbox, but they will not affect the outside world."

"Is the folded space contained in the sandbox?" Guan Xinyue asked ponderingly, "But who created this space? The person who made the crystal? Or the person who used the crystal? Is there a sandbox theme park? For example, Jurassic sandbox, Star Wars sandbox, Gongdou sandbox?"

Mahjong's face was wonderful, "Gongdou Sandbox? You dare to think about it. Du Zhengyi has completed the seventh grade in this area. You can discuss it with him. If he is interested, you can build an entertainment empire."

"Haven't you guys thought about it that way?" Guan Xinyue asked, "Could it be that only human beings know how to entertain?"

Mahjong hesitated, "It is not recommended to pursue happiness in the world of mages, but as far as I know, there are indeed some underground entertainment venues and some similar projects, but no one can be sure that they really use sandbox technology. Anyway I have never been to it, nor have I studied it. As for the sandbox... Du Zhengyi once mentioned it to me once. He said that he thinks the sandbox is more like a borrowed space, but how to understand his words specifically, I don’t know. I don’t know. If Du Zhengyi didn’t have to run around and fight with people, he might be a scholar in this field. As for me, I’m a doctor. I only know that doctors can’t understand sandboxes. The sandbox is too complicated, can it be explained clearly in a few words."

"Oh," Guan Xinyue said disappointedly, "It's just like our physics. Doctors can't understand it, and art students can't understand it. Forget it! The credits earned by your mages are used to buy these things? "

"It's mainly for these things." Mahjong said, "After all, you have seen it too. With Roach's three-legged cat skills, he is now enough to steal rice from human homes. If it is really for basic survival, how can credit points be used?"

"What if it happens to be a special Buddhist mage? I don't want these crystals, so I just work as a bus driver in human society and just want to survive like this?" Guan Xinyue asked casually.

Mahjong glanced at her and said in a low voice, "If you have the ability, this kind of life is impossible."

"why?"

"Because Qionglin doesn't allow it." Mahjong said. "Compulsory service based on ability is the basic obligation of mages stipulated by Qionglin."
