To solve that miraculous encryption spell in the void, Jia Xiu still had much work to do.
He needed to create a spell that sampled identical mana fluctuations, then, based on the spell's principles, adapt it into an algorithmic program that could run directly on a Magic-Energy Computer.
This step was relatively simple. The sampling portion was quite clear in the spell copied within the Little Black Room. Given some time, it could be replicated properly.
The latter part was more troublesome.
Namely, how to verify whether the generated data was correct.
There were currently two methods.
The first was to make contact with more "fragments" of the encryption spell and gradually move them into the Little Black Room until the algorithm used for the intermediate conversion could be analyzed.
In Jia Xiu's judgment, it was an algorithm modeled after hash transformations—one that could be derived forward but could not be traced backward.
Once they grasped the transformation method, every stage could be transferred to the computer.
The program would control the process, simulating according to the rules the data segments that could be sampled from different spell fluctuations, then transforming them into the final information used for verification. That information would then be handed to the verification-spell component for validation, trying until they got a result.
The second method was to directly open a portal, connect the Magic-Energy Computer to mana-string generation and fusion equipment, aim the output at the passage, fuse a fluctuation based on the data and fire one out for every generated fluctuation, until they found the one that could pass through the barrier.
This method was more brute-force. It would simply consume far more mana, though that was not much of a problem. They did not lack mana.
It would also be slower than a
