Chapter 1561: Domain Normalization and Adapter Component Testing
Two hours later, Xia Duo finished his repeated design verifications, and at the same time, Niya also seemed to have finished the re-inspection of the base.
Seeing Niya return to his side full of confidence, Xia Duo already had a rough conclusion in his mind; if nothing went wrong, it was likely due to the Negative Energy in this domain that hadn't been fully purified in time.
"I have no problems on my end."
"My design has no problems either!"
Niya and Xia Duo said one after another, then the two looked at each other, as if sulking or perhaps suspicious, until finally, Xia Duo couldn't hold back and told Niya:
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I know where the problem lies. It should be the Negative Energy in the environment; because it was too thin, you didn't notice it when the last group left, and you left without waiting for the Negative Energy in the domain to be completely purified."
"Is that so?" Niya remained half-doubting.
But verifying it was actually quite simple; counting from the time the last group of construction Mages left until now, the Positive Energy Domain had been activated for over ten hours.
Even if this vacuum area had been filled with Negative Energy, whatever was within the domain range should have been purified long ago.
Without waiting for Xia Duo to act, Niya flew to the edge of the domain herself and projected several beams of bright light, either intersecting or parallel, with each beam aligning with the previously reset detection beads.
A dozen or so beams outlined the overall structure of the domain, and to their delight, not a single detection bead shifted its position this time.
This indicated that the domain itself was quite stable; at least during the two hours the two had been waiting, the Levitation Field had not shown any perceptible or detectable abnormal fluctuations.
Although there was still a gap from the "twelve hours of stable, no-anomaly" acceptance criteria Xia Duo had proposed, one could see the big picture from small details, and it could basically be judged that there was no major problem with the base.
Xia Duo acknowledged this as well.
Next, he prepared to test the adapter component for the 【Mythallar】 device, which was that cubic frame also made of David String.
Xia Duo released the cubic adapter component in the center of the domain, then flew back and forth within the million-cubic-meter range of the domain, guiding thin Mithril threads from thousands of open interfaces and gathering them together.
It was at approximately the center of the cube, which was, of course, also the center of the domain.
Here, Xia Duo took a 【Fate Trajectory】 out of his Personal Space and beckoned to Niya, "Niya, come help!"
"Coming!" Niya replied immediately.
She had been waiting for this moment; although she still didn't quite understand what Xia Duo was doing, she could roughly guess it was definitely some kind of very special Psionic Creation.
She quickly flew to Xia Duo's side, and while examining the 【Fate Trajectory】 floating between the two, she asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple!"
Xia Duo divided the thousands of thin Mithril threads into nearly three hundred small groups according to the adapter component interfaces they represented, rendered them in different colors, and then told Niya:
"Listen for my signal, connect a group of Mithril threads to the 【Fate Trajectory】, and then record the status of the 【Fate Trajectory】."
"What is the Fate Trajectory?"
"A type of Scrying equipment that Teacher Iolum gave me," Xia Duo replied, then asked, "No problem, right?"
"Let me try it first, you see if there are any issues?"
"Good."
Under Xia Duo's gaze, Niya first chose a group of Mithril threads whose ends were rendered blue, but when linking them to the 【Fate Trajectory】, she hesitated: "Which one should I connect first?"
"It doesn't matter which one you connect first or last, as long as they are all connected."
The Fate Trajectory was not like conventional measuring tools on Earth that required specific operating steps; it was actually an auxiliary device used for casting Scrying spells, and using it for precise testing was merely Xia Duo's own method.
In reality, it did not have an exact reading; it merely displayed the Scrying results for that group through the special trajectory of the filament-like Mithril Component.
Therefore, no matter which one was connected first, the result was the same; the reason for grouping them was merely for the convenience of testing and statistics.
After confirming that Niya had no problems on her end, Xia Duo left the center of the cube and came to the actual body of the adapter component, which was the twelve edges.
"First group test, prepare!" Xia Duo issued the command first.
"Preparation complete!"
Upon receiving Niya's signal, Xia Duo immediately triggered the Element Units on the twelve edges related to the first group of open interfaces.
It was not a complete Spell, merely an Element-level energy flow test; the duration was only one circuit, but fortunately, the results of the 【Fate Trajectory】 could be preserved for a period of time before slowly recovering.
It was similar to the lingering aura after Spellcasting.
And what Niya needed to record was the result shown at the moment the Fate Trajectory changed the most; if Xia Duo were alone, although recording wouldn't be a problem, changing the test groups would be much more troublesome.
One group test finished, Niya pulled the notebook floating beside her in front of her, wrote down a long string of Arcane Geometry Diagrams representing the various states of the Fate Trajectory, and then signaled to Xia Duo:
"Recording complete!"
"Second group test, prepare!" Xia Duo issued the command again.
This time Niya did not answer immediately, but had to first find the Mithril threads for the second group and connect them to the 【Fate Trajectory】 before she could reply.
Just like that, the husband and wife worked together; the testing that would have taken Xia Duo at least three or four days alone was completed in just one day with Niya's help.
Of course, during this period, Xia Duo also checked the Levitation Field detection beads multiple times; for a whole day, he did not find any perceptible or detectable shifting phenomena.
This also meant that this base perfectly met the acceptance standards, and afterwards, it could be shut down for inspection about once a month; there shouldn't be any problems.
Besides checking the base, shutdown inspections also required checking the 【Mythallar】 device itself; after all, back in Seventon, in order to catch up on progress, it was impossible to verify it with months of continuous operation.
Although theoretically this prototype could already operate for a long time, no one could say for sure how long it could operate stably.
Regular shutdown inspections and maintenance should be considered basic operations.
In any case, Xia Duo never thought this device could run forever without any maintenance.
After resting for a day, Xia Duo and Niya returned to the Blue Crystal Plane, to the back of Murloc Island.
During the rest time, Xia Duo had already completed the analysis of the test data for the 【Mythallar】 device's Blue Crystal Plane adapter component, and only after confirming there were no problems was he eager to choose the second day to begin installing the 【Mythallar】.
"Niya, haven't you been curious about what I've been doing all these days? Next, you will see a true miracle!"
"What is it?"
Niya had been so teased by curiosity these days that she had no heart to do anything else; she now knew that the cube in the domain at this moment was some kind of adapter device, but she couldn't figure out what it was adapting to.
She could only guess it must be some kind of very powerful Magic Creation.
