The cost of repairing a mithril component of the Nese magic system is no less than building a new one.

Only those that are inconvenient to build will be replaced by maintenance. These are usually large-scale magic facilities, such as mage towers or some important magic circles.

The Mystery Lock has no other entities except nodes, and the nodes themselves are either super stable substances such as gold and fine gold, or gems, which are almost non-perishable.

The vast majority of MyLock nodes will experience almost no loss during the existence of MyLock. In many cases, MyLock maintenance is not about maintaining the node itself, but rather maintaining the node's protection mechanism.

If there is no node mystery lock, maintenance will be more about checking the usage of permissions rather than the mystery lock itself being broken.

It can be said that if the Communication Mystery Lock of the Tower of Time does not integrate the communication function into the Mystery Lock itself, it will almost certainly go bankrupt. No subsidiary system can withstand such frequent free use.

Similar to the free server in Xia Duo's hometown, it may be free for a short period of time when new users are added, but it will be free for a long time, and even the richest man cannot afford it.

…

At present, Niya has only completed multi-person communication in terms of new functions of the communication mystery. The so-called multi-person communication is actually the online version of the remote conference provided to the Severnton Council by the Tower of Time.

Although the previous remote conferences also borrowed the link of the Mystery Lock, they were essentially independent remote conference instruments, a physical object that looked like a desk lamp.

Once the multi-person communication function of My Lock is updated, additional remote conferencing instruments will no longer be needed. Instead, this new My Lock function can be used directly on the communication instrument.

In addition, the group function supporting multi-person communication has also been completed. In other words, the bottom layer of the group function is multi-person communication, and the group is just a display.

But Niya considers that the emergence of multi-person communication function may make the lords and councilors who have previously purchased remote conferencing magic tools feel that they have been robbed of money. Therefore, even if Mylock updates this function this time, will it be available to ordinary users? The use still needs to be further studied.

If it is not used by ordinary users for the time being, other new functions will be needed.

"Online address book? Or is it compatible with traditional communication methods?" Niya thought seriously.

The second-generation communication instruments currently sold by the Tower of Time and the new communication instruments based on the communication mystery lock have the address book function, which is realized through the [Twin Mark] spell, but can only save the contact information of ten people.

The preservation here refers to "strictly encrypted point-to-point communication". If such strict encryption is not required, one-way encrypted communication can also be used, which does not require twin marks.

In layman's terms, you can send a message to whomever you want, but the security is only the encryption on the sending party's side. If someone knows the encryption method of the sending party, it will not only be able to crack a certain message.

Even every communication can be intercepted. The only fortunate thing is that due to the characteristics of the background communication of the Magic Network, any communication can only be received by one party.

If the target does not receive it, it must have been intercepted by a third party. Knowing this, you can stop the loss in time to a certain extent.

But the safest method of communication is for both parties to use the Tower of Time's communication weapon, so that even the Tower of Time cannot intercept or crack it.

As long as the principles are explained clearly, the vast majority of Nese mages are willing to accept this method of communication, which is why the second-generation communication tools of the Tower of Time are still being shipped to this day.

Because new mages are born all the time, and the communication tools of the Tower of Time are not particularly expensive. Even if you can't afford them temporarily, you can borrow them from the mage tower organization you belong to.

Nether mages care much more about their privacy than elves, which is the main reason why Void Warehouse is difficult to promote in Netheril.

If it were free, some people might be willing to try it. After all, if you don't worry about privacy or precious items, you can put debris there, but such a result is obviously not acceptable to the Tower of Time.

…

After thinking about it, Niya decided that the online address book has more development potential. This is different from the void warehouse, although they are all stored "online".

But the address book saves encrypted contact information, which is the so-called twin mark. The spell of twin mark has long been authorized to all Mage Tower organizations for free, and anyone can use it and study it.

The principle is there. If the twin mark is not secure enough, what encryption method is worth trusting?

As for compatibility with traditional communication methods, it’s not that they are incompatible, but compared to Magic Network background communication, traditional communication methods have too many shortcomings, such as short distance, weak anti-interference ability, easy to be intercepted, etc.

It is generally used for short-distance communication, or to whisper less confidential messages in private, which is closer to silent speech than a mainstream communication method that can support a large number of users in a country.

The Tower of Time's second-generation communication magic weapon and communication mystery lock are all designed based on the magic network background communication. This communication principle and spell are not impossible to be compatible with traditional communication methods, but they are somewhat indistinguishable.

Niya gave up the idea after just thinking about it for a moment, so what other new features could there be?

"By the way, there is also information!"

Niya quickly found new functions that could be implemented right now from her and Shado's visions for the future development of communication instruments, and the information function she understood was not just the group messages sent by the Tower of Time to all users.

It is something like a signboard. The Tower of Time can publish it, and other organizations and even individuals can do it, just by paying. Not only that, this information can also be used as the entrance to an online store based on the Void Warehouse in the future.

If you think about it this way, information is not just information.

Niya was a little undecided, and finally decided to ask Xia Duo for her opinion. Anyway, asking for opinions would not affect her from making the specific puzzle design.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see how Sha Duo and Aibo got along.

…

Niya's current laboratory is also in the Floating City, which is very close to Sha Duo's laboratory, only a few steps away. In fact, all the third-level laboratories in the Floating City are now in this area.

Because the ones that are used the most are Chateau and Niya, it is more convenient to keep them nearby.

This also meant that when Sha Duo received the news that Niya was coming, Niya was already at the door, so he skillfully replaced the action of replying to the message with opening the door.

"Why did you think of coming to me?" Xia Duo asked doubtfully.

Niya put her hands behind her back~www.readwn.com~ and looked at Xia Duo with a smile, "Let's see you!"

"Didn't we just break up? You miss me so soon?" Xia Duo joked.

"Yes, I miss you."

But just as Niya finished speaking, there was a heavy coughing sound in the laboratory, followed by Ai Burke's familiar voice, "You two, pay attention, I'm still here!"

"Well-"

A flash of panic flashed in Niya's eyes, and the tips of her ears were a little red. She shrank her head and looked at Xia Duo, and whispered: "I almost forgot that Uncle Aibo was here."

"It's okay, he's just here, we old couple are still afraid of what he will say."

In fact, Xia Duo asked someone to introduce a partner to Ai Burke a long time ago, but Ai Burke never agreed, and now Xia Duo started to think about this idea again.

No matter from which point of view, building a complete home for Aibo has only advantages and no disadvantages.
