Chapter 1741: Eight Thousand Times, Energy Warehouse

Under Xia Duo's encouragement, Niya quickly activated the Mythallar device; her proficiency made even Xia Duo marvel, as she must have secretly practiced it many times!

"Still saying you can't? You're even more proficient than me now!" Xia Duo teased.

Niya did not answer, only staring blankly at the Mythallar, which had already transformed into a dazzling star, her small hand clenching into a fist before her chest.

"Is it a success?"

"Of course!"

Xia Duo casually extracted an Arcane Crystal from the Arcane Energy Field generated by the Mythallar device and waved it in front of Niya.

Niya only then came back to her senses, excitedly grabbing Xia Duo's hand, "From now on, we'll have double the production speed of Arcane Crystals!"

"Uh—that's not necessarily true!"

Xia Duo glanced at the Mythallar device in front of him; although the device had just been activated, the range of the Arcane Energy Field it produced had not shrunk in the slightest, only its intensity had not yet reached its peak.

Unlike the one on the back of Murloc Island, the Arcane Energy Field produced after this Mythallar device is fully activated will spread to the entire Floating City, including the peripheral auxiliary Floating Platforms that have not yet been built.

If one understands the Arcane Energy Field as a super-sized Arcane "capacitor," then the arcane capacity of this Mythallar device once the Arcane Energy Field intensity reaches its limit will be at least eight thousand times that of the one on the back of Murloc Island.

When the limit intensity of the Arcane Energy Field is the same, the capacity is basically proportional to the coverage area (volume).

That is to say, under the condition that the output power of the two Mythallar devices is equivalent, for the Arcane Energy Field here at the Floating City to reach its limit, it will take at least eight thousand times longer than the one at Murloc Island.

And since it takes about 1 hour for the Arcane Energy Field there to reach its (preset) limit, it will take at least eight thousand hours for it to reach the limit here.

In other words, it will take about a year or so for the Mythallar device here to produce additional Arcane Crystals.

Of course, it is not that Arcane Crystals cannot be extracted before the Arcane Energy Field reaches its limit, but in Xia Duo's plan, priority is definitely given to filling the Arcane Energy Field.

Many internal facilities of the Floating City are designed not to use fixed physical lines to connect to energy, but to obtain energy directly from the Arcane Energy Field.

This requires maintaining the intensity of the Arcane Energy Field within a certain range; at least until the field intensity reaches a certain lower limit, Xia Duo will not extract Arcane Crystals from it.

Of course, all of this assumes that the Floating City only has this one Mythallar device; if a few more are built, the charging speed of the Arcane Energy Field will increase rapidly.

If the other four backup Energy Centers are all completed, the charging speed will directly increase by 8 times, and it will only take about a month or so for the Arcane Energy Field to reach the preset limit intensity.

After that, it will all be profit.

However, Xia Duo has no intention of taking the Floating City out in the short term, so misappropriating a few Arcane Crystals is not a big deal.

"Niya, follow me!"

Xia Duo called out, then turned and flew out of the Main Energy Center; seeing this, Niya hurriedly followed.

As the most core layer of the Floating City, the Main Energy Center certainly does not only contain what is in the middle.

On the periphery are individual Observation Rooms, Control Rooms, Research Labs, and of course, the Energy Warehouse for when there is an arcane surplus.

After the Floating City Mythallar is built in the future, Xia Duo will disable the Spell Elements related to extracting Arcane Crystals, and the surplus Arcane Energy produced by the Mythallar device will appear directly in the Energy Warehouse on the periphery of the Main Energy Center in the form of Arcane Crystals.

At the same time, these Energy Warehouses can also be used as Arcane Furnaces to continue providing energy for the Floating City when all four Mythallar devices, including the backup devices, stop working.

Of course, the probability of this happening is extremely small, and Xia Duo does not think it will actually exist in Reality, but having such a Redundant System is never a bad thing.

Xia Duo first went to the Control Room to connect the Mythallar device of the Main Energy Center to the Control Room; there are ten Control Rooms in total, each connected to different control interfaces.

During actual operation, cross-verification is also required to avoid a situation where a single traitor could easily trigger a shutdown accident.

Afterward, he went to the Observation Room, or rather the monitoring room, whose main function is to monitor the operating status of the Mythallar device; this also needs to be connected to the corresponding monitoring interface of the device.

Unlike the Control Rooms which have different divisions of labor, the Observation Rooms are all the same, which is also to avoid a situation where a single traitor could easily deceive those above and below.

The Floating City has many functions and complex controls; Xia Duo certainly cannot handle such a massive object alone, and even if he created a "Spirit of the Floating City," much of the work would still need to be handed over to others.

Next, Xia Duo skipped the Research Lab, which would also be connected to some test interfaces of the Mythallar, but compared to the Control Rooms and Observation Rooms, the Permission Level here would be higher, and more could be done.

For the time being, Xia Duo has not thought about whether to open it up; he just built a framework first, and many functions have not been implemented. If there is a real need in the future, it will not be too late to install them.

In fact, he is more inclined to build an independent Mythallar research institution, and not have too many messy things here in the Floating City.

Finally, there is the Energy Warehouse; when Xia Duo was connecting the Mythallar in the Control Room just now, he had already changed some original settings.

When he and Niya arrived at Energy Warehouse No. 001, the first Arcane Crystal had already appeared in the storage slot. Xia Duo took this Arcane Crystal out, placed it in Niya's hand, and then told Niya:

"For now, there is only this one; if you want more, you can come here to get them."

After speaking, Xia Duo seemed to have thought of something, slapped his head in annoyance, took an Arcane Crystal Extractor designed by Niya from his Personal Space, and threw it directly outside the Energy Warehouse.

"Almost forgot, the Mythallar hasn't been built yet, so you can get Arcane Crystals anywhere."

"Hee hee!"

Niya covered her mouth and giggled twice, then also threw down an Arcane Crystal Extractor. This kind of quasi-Magic Item is simple to make, and even an ordinary person can make it after training.

As for the disadvantage, there is only one: it can only be used within the coverage area of the Arcane Energy Field. Once it exceeds the coverage area of the Arcane Energy Field, let alone working normally, even the Magic Aura will disappear completely.

"Are we going to completely finish the Flight Control System next?"

"Yes, but this is in an Other Plane after all, so we have to shut it down after starting it for a test; we can only keep it on after the Mythallar is built."

Although a fully off-net Redundant System has been set up, it is ultimately not very convenient without the Magic Net, and it will also accelerate the "aging" speed of the relevant Mithril Circuit.

Under the current circumstances, blindly turning on the Flight Control System is really not worth the loss.
