Connor's Hogwarts

In the past, when two parties wanted to "add friends" on Facebook, they had to exchange small lenses face-to-face and keep each other's "phone numbers".

But this new version of Facebook removes this slightly cumbersome step and replaces it with a new kind of magic called "LAN."

In the past, the things Connor invented could roughly understand the principles of magic, but few people have figured out what kind of magic this "Magic Internet" is.

According to Connor, the president of the fraternity, "this is a small step in the wizarding Internet era", and the young wizards at this time don't really understand what this "small step" means...

------

Arturia thought that after she didn't need to produce the Philosopher's Stone, she could finally have a leisurely time to think about life...

But what she never expected was that her overtime life...was not over. Following the production of the Philosopher's Stone, Connor pulled a new "project" waiting for her to host.

"Saber, how do you feel at this speed?"

Hogwarts competition hall, ghost factory, underground laboratory, Connor was doing experiments seriously as usual.

In order to conform to his identity, he put on a white coat and a pair of glasses frames, trying to make himself look like a "Doctor of Magic" and look serious.

"There is no abnormality in all data indicators, the transmission is stable, and everything is normal."

Dr. Connor's magic assistant, Ms. Artoria, also dutifully carried out the reporting work as usual, but there was a little tiredness in her tone.

Connor and Arturia are not talking face to face at this time, Connor is standing holding the folder, and Artoria...she is in the painting.

They are communicating through the picture frame.

What is amazing is the "picture" in this picture frame. The background of the picture seems to be incompatible with this magical world.

Arturia is standing in the center of the painting, but the surroundings are not the background of oil paintings in the general sense, there are no landscapes or gardens at all.

Instead, there is a "screen wall" with a strong sense of science fiction - a combination of small screens separated by two like squares but neatly arranged into a giant screen, just like the background board of the main monitoring room in a science fiction film .

On that densely packed small screen, all kinds of "data" are constantly jumping and refreshing, and the amount of information that has appeared in just a few minutes is an inestimable number.

This is what Connor saw standing in front of the "window" of this strange room.

This is the core of the "Magic Local Area Network" recently built by the Brotherhood, which Connor calls the [Saber Server].

We know that Connor wants to create an Internet for the wizarding world. This great plan has finally come to the real "closed beta" after going through multiple generations of Facebook tests, teaching massive divination magic experiments and soul magic painting experiments. This step is over.

The "Magic Local Area Network" this time is a test version of the Magic Network researched and developed based on the experience of various experiments in the past.

In the past, Facebook was a communication magic realized through the combination of two-way mirror magic and drawing magic.

This kind of magic, which is limited to the interaction between two pairs, has brought a lot of impact to the magic world and brought a lot of convenience.

But in the eyes of Connor, who has experienced the Internet age, this method of interaction is still too inefficient.

Although Connor later made a series of transformations and upgrades to Facebook, the effect was still unsatisfactory.

Now, after incorporating divination magic, Connor was finally able to initially realize the "networking" of communication.

The principle is not complicated to say.

In this "magic local area network", the above-mentioned magic is still used, but the usage is a little different.

The magic of the double-sided mirror is the foundation of Facebook. This magic is essentially the information exchange between the two mirrors a and b. This new version of Facebook is actually "two mirrors". That magic painting is mirror a, and all the rest of the facebooks that are left, are mirror b.

The mirror a where Altria is located is the data processing core of this set of "magic local area network". All the information interaction of mirror b must be summarized in mirror a. After the information is processed by this "central processor", Then return to the different purpose mirror b to achieve the function of information interaction.

This "central processor", which is the wizard version of the computer, incorporates various complex magics including divination. Connor dared to call it the most "advanced" super magic in the wizarding world.

"If it's just a fool's operation, this level is enough. With saber as the [medium], information interaction at the level of chat records can be completed in an instant. This kind of function and efficiency has completely surpassed the previous ones. version of Facebook..."

Connor pushed the decorative glasses, nodded and recorded the experimental data.

"But it's not enough to achieve more functions, and just this level of information can't be handled by Saber, and there is still a lot of distance from the effect we want..."

Angel also pushed Connor's glasses frame of the same style, carefully helping Connor analyze the problem.

"...I'm not helping to process the data at all..." (Artoria's weak voice came out)

"Indeed, it's not enough to just meet the chat function. Before we can fully control all the data, we don't even dare to implement the people-finding and navigation function. We still have a long way to go."

"Then let's continue to experiment! Dad, maybe we can set up a magic to filter information to improve efficiency."

"That's right, it shouldn't be difficult to do this step. As long as the divination conditions are set, we should be able to filter out relevant information in an instant. It's just a matter of reaction time..."

"...When can I get off work..." (Artoria's weak voice came out)

But Connor and Angel were discussing excitedly while singing together, completely ignoring Artoria's opinion.

Artoria could only continue to be in a daze in the painting, doing nothing.

Artoria, as the core component of this "Mirror A", the soul of the magic painting, is the most important part of this magic local area network, but in fact, she herself only plays the role of a "divination trigger".

What does that mean?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

What does that mean?

It means that Artoria, as a "divination trigger", does not require her to do any work, she just needs to stay in the painting.

For example, on the fraternity LAN—that is, on the new version of Facebook, there is currently only one chat function that uses the network.

This chat function is different from the two-way mirror in the past, but it is actually realized through divination.

For example, Connor wrote a sentence in the chat box with classmate A on Facebook. This sentence will actually only appear in the magic painting of the "central processor" where Artoria is, and will not Appeared on classmate a's Facebook.

But this piece of information will still be preserved, because as long as the traces that have appeared in the world will not disappear, and can be known through divination, divination is such a magic to detect information.

The specific magic principle is a bit complicated, so I won’t go into details. In short, Connor can accurately transmit information between different Facebooks by setting up complex divination in the new version of Facebook, and the information can be permanently saved. , with divination, data is almost never lost.

And Arturia is the magic trigger core that guarantees the normal operation of this chat divination. As long as she stays in the magic painting, this local area network can work normally.

As for chat divination—that is, the process of information interaction is actually a "magic program" written by Connor, and it can operate on its own without Arturia's own manipulation.

Of course, as the core of the spell, Artoria has absolute control over all interactive information, but she cannot completely monitor all information.

Just the communication between dozens of members of the fraternity is a huge amount of information. Although Artoria can "see" all the information, it is a bit overwhelming for her to remember to distinguish and process the information. It is difficult to force the painting."

Although Arturia is a magical painting, her thinking ability is actually not much different from that of ordinary people, so at present she can only serve as a "trigger".

But that's enough, and the divination that Connor has prepared for this magical local area network... is not limited to the chat function...
