Chapter 1446: New Applications, New Nation

After leaving the Government Hall of the Territory, Xia Duo took the time to return to the Tower of Time. Aside from catching up with Niya, his main purpose was to prepare for the upcoming great migration.

In the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo and Niya watched the scene of the Grey Eagle Tribe Patriarch touring the Daxia Territory on the projection window while chatting about the plans ahead.

"I brought a batch of Arcane Crystals back this time. Don't stop the increased production mode in the Arcane Garden; we must ensure the new residents have a warm and well-fed winter. As for the maintenance issues, I'll have to trouble Uncle Aiboke."

As soon as Xia Duo said this, Niya covered her mouth and giggled, "Just a few days ago, Uncle Aiboke was complaining to me, saying that you are always ordering him around, leaving him without a shred of personal time."

"Sigh, there's no helping it. There are simply too few Arcanists in the Tower of Time right now; the capable must do more!" Xia Duo said with a smile.

Niya did not particularly object to this, as she was closer to Xia Duo now. "By the way, not long ago, Depake applied to me to borrow the Advanced Laboratory. Do you think I should agree?"

"Depake wants to attempt an advancement so soon?"

"Yes, that's why I'm a bit hesitant, worried about wasting the Advanced Laboratory," Niya said, looking troubled.

Xia Duo remembered that it hadn't been long since Depake achieved Advanced Rank. Most importantly, the Tower of Time was severely lacking in personnel, and Depake, who could almost be called the only Advanced Rank worker, had the heaviest workload. (Xia Duo and Niya are shareholders, Aiboke counts as a relative of a shareholder, and of course, three new Advanced Technicians have been recruited.)

Could he still find time to complete the preparations for advancement under these conditions?

Xia Duo couldn't help but feel some doubt, but this wasn't a major issue. Even if just to reward Depake for his extra efforts in the production of the Demon-Slaying Amulet, there was no need to reject his application.

In any case, the Tower of Time had Arcanists now, so it wouldn't cause a shortage in the Advanced Laboratory, though it might trouble Aiboke to repair it afterward.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh, "Just agree to it. Consider it a reward for his hard work during this period. We can just let Uncle Aiboke work a little harder afterward."

Xia Duo was very willing to support Depake's advancement to Advanced Arcanist, but his support alone was useless; it still depended on Depake's own ability.

On this point, Xia Duo was not optimistic about Depake, at least not about the current him.

……

After a small interlude, Xia Duo and Niya left the study one after another. Niya had her own things to do, while Xia Duo began experiments on special items using Daiwei String components as the main energy circuit.

As a special material that could replace Mithril and act as a near-superconductor for energy, it was certain first of all that Daiwei String could be used to make Magic Items.

However, its properties were not stable and it disintegrated easily. If used for (military) Magic Items that might face attacks or other extreme situations, it was highly unqualified.

But if used for general civilian Magic Items that had no special requirements for safety, then there was no major problem.

The only potential shortcoming might be that there was still a large difference between Daiwei String and the true Magic Net Strings that could be bundled at will, so the final finished product might not be as compact as one made with Mithril.

But what Xia Duo intended to build was a Fixed Teleportation Portal. Unlike Communication Magic Tools or Amulets, which had very strict requirements for size, the larger the volume of a Fixed Teleportation Portal, the better the effect.

Perhaps Daiwei String was naturally best suited for some large or even super-large Magic Facilities, and the Independent Arcane Fire Device was one of them.

……

Because the internal space of the Spell Laboratory in the Tower of Time was limited, Xia Duo could not conduct complete experiments there and could only decompose the designed Fixed Teleportation Portal into several functional modules to perform local simulated energy tests.

Compared to the Independent Arcane Fire Device, which involved nearly a million spell elements, the elements for the portal didn't even amount to a fraction of a fraction of that. It was just a regular Magic Item, only using different energy conduction materials.

Even the design plan didn't need special adjustments and could be used directly.

Regarding the energy flow in the spell design elements of the Fixed Teleportation Portal, Xia Duo not only had very precise theoretical calculations but also possessed a very complete ability to control it.

This was the simplicity of small-scale spell element Magic Items. If it were the Independent Arcane Fire Device, with its million-level element count, even the theoretical calculations would be extremely complex, let alone fully controlling the energy flow within it; one could only rely on the laboratory's restrictions and protection measures as a fallback.

Xia Duo's current experiment could be said to be just going through the motions. It was only because he knew too little about the properties of Daiwei String at the moment. Once he understood it fully in the future, he could start production directly, just like using Mithril.

Even if it was an experiment, it was only aimed at the immature spell design plan, not the production process.

……

With knowledge of the details of energy flow between elements, the simulated energy test was, for Xia Duo, mostly just repeatedly casting spells.

Create the Daiwei String, then imbue it with specific energy, observe its subsequent state, and compare it with the theory.

After a round of testing, Xia Duo did not find any problems.

In fact, Daiwei String could be used for energy conduction in the Independent Arcane Fire Device; although there were still some shortcomings, a mere Fixed Teleportation Portal would not put any pressure on it at all.

Code Plaza.

Arriving here again, the sky had already darkened. Before coming, Xia Duo knew that the Grey Eagle Patriarch was currently being taken to dine in the Canteen by Jibu, and he would likely stay here tonight.

If he hurried to finish the work, perhaps he could even let him go back using the newly built Fixed Teleportation Portal!

Of course, more importantly, Xia Duo was not sure when the personnel from Seventon would all arrive, so he could only deal with the matters that needed to be handled upon his return as quickly as possible.

Besides building the portal, he also needed to step in and resolve the situation on the Langas Plain, where several large tribes were hunting the Grey Eagle Tribe, at least to secure enough migration time for the Grey Eagle Tribe.

Going a step further, he could also spread the Daxia Territory's attitude toward the Langasi and the recruitment plan, which would facilitate future actions.

For a few large tribes, the appeal of the Daxia Territory might not be enough, but for the vast majority of the Langasi, being able to be warm and well-fed for a lifetime was already a great luxury.

As long as he could gain their trust, there would be no problems recruiting people in the future.

At that time, perhaps he could let people from the Grey Eagle Tribe go out to recruit everywhere, and send out a batch of recruitment Envoys for every new tribe that joined the Territory.

But then the headache would be how to introduce more Netherese to keep the two in balance, so as to more thoroughly transform them into "Daxia People".

Xia Duo himself did not quite identify with the Netherese or the Netherese people; he hoped more to personally create a brand-new nation that met all his expectations and adapted to the future development trends of civilization.
