Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 194: What language should be used for spell programming
After a long time, Zhuo Ge returned to his old job and wrote planning proposals.

It is a plan about how to design an advanced magic language.

His idea goes one step further than Xiao Mo's. Runes are still not easy enough for ordinary people to understand.

This is not to say that there is a huge gap in intelligence between ordinary people and mages, but rather the difficulties caused by the inability to perceive magic power.

Most of the inscriptions, as well as the basic runes composed of inscription sequences, are not as clear and easy to understand as the lighting runes or elemental inscriptions.

The largest proportion is various extremely abstract effects, such as causing the phase shift of Mars' magic vibration. Mars is the mage who discovered this inscription.

To understand what this magic shock is like, you need to learn a lot of prerequisite knowledge.

Because the mage can sense magic power, he can observe the vibrations intuitively.

For people without magical talent to understand, it is like asking a color-blind person to paint colors. It is not impossible to memorize the functions of different colors in expression and the mixing ratios, but there is still a big difference.

Therefore, we need to go a step further and create a dedicated high-level spell language composed of words that ordinary people can understand and read, without requiring magical talent.

Spells composed in this language will be compiled into executable inscription sequence spell models through a compiler.

Compared with directly constructing with inscriptions, the operating efficiency is reduced, but it can produce a large number of mages who "can write but cannot use".

Give the possibility of creating magic to all ordinary people who are willing to learn.

However, the bright future of everyone being able to write spells may still be a bit far away. Even if this language is developed, it will take a long educational cycle to train ordinary people to use it.

The most immediate benefit is that it can improve the work efficiency of the group's mages.

Using inscriptions to develop games is too slow. Now a 2D clearing game requires at least 20 mages.

If the research on advanced spell language goes smoothly, the two mages should be able to handle the same tasks as before.

Hey, so that means we can recruit those 18 extra mages later.

Reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Two people do the work of 20 people, and the rest can provide talents to the society!
I won’t act anymore. I, Drogo, am the most evil capitalist!
When you come into this world, from head to toe, every scale is covered in blood and filth!

But having said that, compared to the current feudal system, he is a real progressive.

Firing someone is just talk, a lively little imitation of the former boss.

It's impossible to really open it. We recruited these people with great difficulty. As productivity increases, we will naturally make larger games.

Make online games, 3A, even VR and somatosensory interaction.

A world game with magic in it would certainly be able to reach a higher ceiling.

Create a virtual world covering hundreds of millions of users.

Greater cultural influence and higher value are the true meaning of efficiency improvement.

Of course, the prerequisite is to achieve a technological breakthrough first.

The current plan on hand can hardly be considered a standard and detailed plan.

Because Drogo had no particularly clear idea of ​​how the language would eventually develop into.

Unlike previous games, movies, or other things, which were all copied exactly and only made some minor adjustments at most.

Drogo could only use programming language as a reference to roughly describe the desired effect.

In addition, a lot of space is used to introduce the significance of this research, as well as future promotion and popular education plans, and the prospects for a bright future after successful development.

So rather than being a plan, it is more like a pie in the sky for the mages, but the description of the pie is quite detailed.

What the mages are most interested in now is the function of predicting inscriptions.

All the elders of the Round Table of the Mages Guild, except for the one who was in seclusion in Loman, had gathered in the City of Twin Towers.

I plan to study the inscriptions of the school of illusion after I have finished predicting the inscriptions of the school they specialize in.

In contrast, a feature that encodes special characters into inscriptions is less attractive to them.

After all, it is not difficult for these great wizards to use inscriptions directly.

We need to focus their attention on this.

The elders of the Round Table are Drogo's ideal candidates for the development of advanced spell languages. Each of them is a top wizard, with a complete range of schools, and they also maintain a strong curiosity in exploring spells.

Even if you think you are participating in a great cause, you don't even need any money.

Is there a better developer out there?

The first "guinea pig" to feel the power of the pie in the sky was naturally the chief illusionist of the Drogo Group.

"Are you looking for me?" Fulin came to Drogo's office. She hadn't seen Drogo much in the past few days.

He said he was planning for a great cause and turned on the do not disturb mode.

Although she was very unhappy, she still expressed her understanding.

Because she sometimes does this, for example, when she is creating large-format art, she will become quite introverted during that period and get angry at anything that disturbs her.

"Yes, come and see my grand plan to completely change the landscape of magic," Drogo said excitedly.

"Haven't you changed? The recent papers in the Spellcaster Journal are almost monopolized by the Syndicate, and they are all spells based on the new inscriptions."

There have never been so many high-level wizards in the Twin Towers City. They are all here to join in the magic "gold rush".

For a wizard, creating a new spell can not only make him famous, but the Wizard Guild will also give him corresponding rewards.

And when a new inscription appears, the simple spells derived from it are almost given away for free.

In the past, after an inscription wizard comprehended an inscription, he would design his own basic spells related to the inscription.

But Xiao Mo's team is too lazy to do this job. They are now too busy to even verify the new inscriptions.

A new inscription will be released every one or two days. There are always many mages waiting in the release hall. When they come across something new, they will immediately send it back to the laboratory to start experiments.

Who can develop a new spell first no longer depends on who has a higher level, but on who is faster and can stay up longer.

There have been many mage duels recently, most of which occurred in front of the Mage Guild's branches.

They were all people who had developed the same spell, and they bumped into each other on the way to register with the guild, and the ownership was decided directly.

Due to the high destructive power of the mages, the frequent duels brought a lot of trouble to the city, and the garrison suffered terribly.

In the end, Sauron stood up and assumed the social responsibility as a legendary wizard.

He announced that anyone who developed the same spell at the same time in the Twin Towers City would share ownership, and if they were dissatisfied, they could go to Solent Tower to challenge him.

The occasional magical battles in the city finally stopped.

"No, no, no, the new inscriptions are only a change for the mage group."

"Then who else can the spell pattern change? People who have no talent for spellcasting?" Fulin said with a smile.

"Yes, it's people without talent. I want people who can't feel magic to be able to design spells."

Drogo said as he handed over the plan.

"Advanced spell language?"

Fulin read Drogo's plan carefully. It was not very long, but it took her nearly an hour.

With her knowledge, she could understand most of the magic-related content with just a glance. However, Drogo's writing was an exception. His ideas were usually not profound, but they definitely contained a lot of new concepts that needed to be understood.

"So, this is what you said, the reason why the system allows everyone to master spells? Through the language corresponding to the spell structure, and then converted into inscriptions by this system."

Fulin thought about it and felt that theoretically this method would work, but it was not quite the same as the "mastery" she had imagined.

"It cannot be said that you have mastered magic if you only understand its general principles but do not learn its true nature."

She understood that this should improve the efficiency of developing new spells, but she felt that it would not be a qualitative leap.

Moreover, it is impossible to let people without magical powers learn the principles of magic.

Changing the landscape of magic was just another of Drogo's exaggerations.

She was very familiar with Drogo's rhetoric. As long as something was slightly outstanding, he would praise it as rare in the world.

For example, every few weeks a game will appear claiming to "give players an unprecedented experience", but when it is finally released, it is discovered that it is just a lot of reskins with a little bit of innovation.

At this time, Drogo would say stubbornly, "Just ask if it's unprecedented? Has anyone played it before?"

"For ordinary people, having the opportunity to learn and create spells is considered mastery," Drogo replied.

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of ordinary people. Today's steam technology was built by ordinary people. Magic is just a part of the natural world and is no different from science."

Fulin had to admit that as a powerful dragon and a legendary wizard, she used to look down on ordinary creatures.

In the past hundred years, this prejudice has been gradually eliminated, and she has witnessed with her own eyes many miraculous projects created by them.

Maybe magic isn't that special after all.

"So people trained in this way can also be considered mages?"

"Of course it is."

"But none of them have the ability to cast spells."

"No one stipulates that a wizard must be able to cast spells, right?"

Drogo's question confused Flynn, who couldn't understand it.

"You should remember that in the past, when the divisions between schools were not yet obvious, only those who mastered all schools could be called mages, otherwise they could only be called apprentices."

Drogo continued.

"Later, the schools were divided, and it became almost impossible to master all the schools. Now there is a trend of further differentiation within the schools. Perhaps if it continues like this, mages in different directions will not be able to understand each other's research.

"The division of labor is becoming more and more refined, which is the inevitable result of development. Then it wouldn't be so abrupt to have another kind of magician who only designs but doesn't cast spells. If you can't accept it, why not call them spell programmers?"

Drogo had always suspected that it was the ability to cast spells that limited the creativity of wizards.

Since I can cast spells, I prefer spells with combat capabilities. My idea is that if my neighbor stores food, I will store guns. As long as I win, I will have everything.

As a result, the number of combat spells in the existing spells is far higher than that of life spells.

It is obvious that magic has a wider range of uses in daily life.

And people who can't cast spells are unlikely to have this tendency.

"Programmer?" Fulin had never heard of this term.

"Yes, think about how much they can contribute to the game and the various functions in the God's Skeleton Network." Drogo said excitedly.

He couldn't wait to enter the magical information age.

Fulin nodded, acknowledging the prospects of the so-called advanced spell language.

“But who will develop it?” she asked.

Normally, this kind of work should fall to her as the chief illusionist, but she feels that her ability is not enough to complete the development, and Xiao Mo's team is not up to the standard.

"Do you think that the argument just now, plus the plan, can convince the round table elders of the Mage Guild?"

Drogo spoke of his ideal developer.

"Maybe not enough," Fulin thought for a moment and replied. She had dealt with those wizards much more than Drogo. "If we want them to participate, we still have to demonstrate it from a practical perspective."

From a practical perspective, Drogo held his claws and thought for a while, "Hey! I got it. Let's just do a language program demonstration of a spell..."

A few days later, the elders of the Round Table in the Twin Towers gathered at the Drogo Group.

Except for the Mage Guild conference, it is rare to see so many top mages appearing at the same time.

President Saint-El has made a lot of efforts to get me to Drogo Group.

He has a very positive attitude towards Drogo's ideas.

But the president could not force orders on other elders, so he could only call them together, hoping that Drogo could facilitate this rare collaboration among wizards in history.

"I have finished my introduction. Do you have any questions about the conception of this spell language?"

Drogo crossed his paws, ready to answer tricky questions.

However, there was no doubt about it. The elders held a plan in their hands and remained silent.

"Then let's talk about cooperation..."

Before he finished speaking, someone spoke.

"Although I really want to participate in this project, my apprentices have been studying various applications of the new inscriptions recently, and I, as a mentor, need to guide them."

"Me too. Traces of a large bone dragon were found in the Angoril Forest. There may be a necromancer planning something. I need to go take a look."

The elders found all sorts of reasons to refuse.

Sauron didn't say a word, but just stared at Drogo, who looked a little serious.

I feel like the atmosphere is a little off. This old dragon won't be hard to change his nature. Seeing everyone's refusal, will he just resort to violence?
At this moment, Drogo suddenly unfolded a scroll of dragon language, and almost instantly, thunderclouds gathered above the room, and lightning rolled endlessly.

Dragon language magic, storm summoning.

The protective shield that Soran had been holding was directly deployed, and he was ready to activate the escape route.

However, I soon noticed something was wrong.

The lightning did not strike for a long time, and casting magic was not Drogo's style.

He had no intention of taking action, but instead showed the scroll.

There were only a few short lines of spells on it, without any complicated inscriptions, and the number of inscriptions on it did not match the expected number for Storm Summoning.

"This is?"

"This is the purpose of advanced spell language. It greatly simplifies the spell construction process and saves spell materials. Casting high-level magic at will is no longer a problem."

Drogo acted like a salesman.

"I'll join." While everyone else was stunned, Old Al expressed his opinion first.

Then Soran and Master Owlbear raised their hands as well.

The others always had a feeling that something was wrong, but they couldn't figure it out for a moment. Drogo's demonstration did make them curious, so they all expressed their willingness to join in.

Since then, the most luxurious magician team in the history of Feilin Continent has been officially established.
