Mage Adam

Chapter 337 Into The Information Age (3)

“Just bring my avatars from the Fifth Tower lab; I don’t need anything else for now,” Adam said.

All the knowledge was in Adam's mind. The Original Flames were in his portable space, and the server was right in front of him—everything was ready.

As soon as his "assistants" arrived, he could start working.

Ayesha nodded. Wendy sent Adam a personal permission request through the Mage Network. Once he approved it, she vanished from view.

Adam then followed Ayesha to a large, empty area outside the Crystal Sphere.

In less than an hour, Wendy arrived with the avatars. Adam immediately began his work, while the two eighth-level mages observed him closely.

Adam knew Laura had sent them not just to help, but also to keep an eye on him. He didn’t mind; that was normal. He had no bad intentions anyway.

First, he needed to write a program into this blank Origin so it could function as a central processor. Simply put, he wanted to turn it into a big processor.

A good processor needs arithmetic logic units, register units, and control units.

The arithmetic logic unit can perform fixed-point or floating-point operations, shift operations, and logical operations. It also handles address calculations and conversions.

The register unit includes general-purpose registers and control registers. General-purpose registers store temporary data during instruction execution and hold intermediate or final results.

The control unit decodes instructions and sends control signals for each operation needed to carry out those instructions.

Thanks to the Origin, Adam didn’t need to make physical components; he just needed to input algorithm models and logic modules.

With the task defined, hundreds of Adams started working at once. Code written in the M Programming Language flowed continuously into the Origin. As the code filled up, the Origin began to change in ways Ayesha and Wendy had never expected.

Once the basic framework was built, Adam started inputting processing techniques.

Meanwhile, the two women felt completely lost. They recognized that the M Programming Language was a version of runic language, but they had no idea how it worked.

“Hey, what is Adam doing? Do you know?” Wendy quietly asked.

Ayesha widened her eyes, trying to understand the code. She noticed many repeating characters, but they didn’t make sense to her.

“I can’t figure it out.”

Wendy blinked. “But the Origin is definitely changing. It looks lifeless now. It shouldn’t be able to become the core of a plane anymore; Adam has broken it.”

Ayesha looked away, feeling that if she kept watching, she'd start to doubt herself. As a mage at level-eight, it frustrated her not to understand the knowledge right in front of her.

“Let him be. This kind of loss is allowed by the Mage Council. If it breaks, it’s fine. Whatever he’s doing doesn’t matter; he’ll submit a full report once he’s done.”

Adam was absorbed in his work, unaware of the observers around him.

The reshaping of the Origin was very effective. During the transformation, it offered no resistance, making Adam's job much easier.

Three days later, the initial server was set up. Adam took out the completed personal chip and handed it to the avatars, starting the first internal test.

Wendy asked curiously, “Is this the personal chip? What do we do now?”

Adam nodded. “All the functions are programmed in. You can operate it freely.”

In the next moment, hundreds of operations occurred at once as the personal chips connected to the server.

Adam stood by the display, watching streams of random data flow into the server. After processing through special algorithms, the data became organized and stored systematically.

With that, the first step was done: the personal chip had completed the data collection task correctly.

While Wendy excitedly tested various functions, Adam closed the permissions and took back the chip. Before she could express her disappointment, Adam made a second request.

“I need the core knowledge for the Mage Network's power transmission function.”

This knowledge was crucial. Understanding and modifying it was essential for the chip’s most critical function—uploading idle computing power, mental energy, and magical power, and then downloading as needed.

Upon hearing this, Wendy quietly stepped aside. Ayesha gave Adam a serious look and handed him a data box, saying, “I don’t need to remind you how important this knowledge is. You can only view it in this space; you cannot take it out or destroy it. You must return it when you're done and sign a contract promising not to reveal anything.”

After fulfilling all the requirements, Adam finally got a look at this remarkable technology.

In brief, the core point was the contract that mages signed with the Origin when they advanced.

This contract allowed magical power to be transmitted across distances through the connection between the Origin and the mage's soul.

The magical power didn’t come from the mages; it was granted directly by the Origin.

After reviewing it, Adam returned the data box to Ayesha and moved to another spot to think.

For an entire day and night, he considered various ways to bypass the Origin to achieve his goals but found it impossible. Aside from computing power, he didn’t grasp the essence of mental or magical power, nor could he find a substitute for the transmission channel.

Relying on the Origin and the Mage Network wasn’t necessarily bad, but given how much the Great Archmages valued both, the functions of the personal chip would face certain limitations. For one, apprentices wouldn’t benefit from this function, and even real mages would need sufficient permissions to fully utilize the chip.

Adam pushed aside distractions and continued his work. He had already made good progress; any reform couldn’t happen overnight. They all needed time to validate results and improve.

Mages enjoyed more freedom in some areas, but being restricted in others wasn’t entirely bad.

Power could only have a positive effect when it was restrained; otherwise, it could lead to great disaster.

Pretty sure the last two sentences were just fillers. Huh.
