Chapter 2219: Debugging, Admiration
After simply checking the purity of the Mithril stored in the hall and confirming there were no issues, Xia Duo put them all away at once, then released a Suspension Base.
Before starting, he confirmed with Kelifu again: "Are you sure you want to install the Mythallar in this hall? Once it is set down, it will be very difficult to move easily!"
"Let's just place it here for now. The Great Temple cannot be built in a short time, and before then, I still need to study it. If it really becomes inconvenient later, I will have to ask Lord Xia Duo for another favor."
"That works too."
Xia Duo nodded, then activated the Suspension Base under Kelifu's curious gaze. In truth, it wasn't just the Mythallar itself; even the Suspension Base was quite inconvenient to relocate.
One factor was the size—a square prism with sides over a hundred meters long. Although its height was limited, it could still be called a behemoth.
The other factor was the environmental configuration. Even within the same Plane, the original gravitational environment differed, which would affect the Suspension Base itself and require additional calibration, similar to relocating a machine tool.
Just like what Xia Duo was doing now, it was mainly checking the overall stability of the Levitation Field and whether there were any local distortions, etc. These all related to the subsequent stability of the Mythallar device.
If there were problems with the Levitation Field, the Mythallar device might malfunction the moment it was placed on it, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to be scrapped directly.
In short, the relocation and calibration of these large-scale pieces of equipment were full of pitfalls. It was only because Xia Duo had a Personal Space without gravity that he could ignore most of the intermediate processes.
If it were anyone else, they would need to set up a Levitation Field within a transfer space first, and then require a zero-gravity environment when moving it out. The more intermediate steps there were, the higher the cost, and the greater the probability of accidents.
This was actually the biggest drawback of the Daiwei String material at present; in a normal environment, even if one didn't touch it, it would disintegrate on its own under the influence of gravity.
And once the Daiwei String disintegrated, it, being an energy creation, would immediately release a massive amount of energy. With the scale of a Mythallar, the power would likely be no less than a medium-to-high-level 【Annihilation Light】.
Of course, one could encapsulate the Daiwei String to increase its stability, but in doing so, the Magic Items and devices using Daiwei String as a core material would become disposable.
The lifespan would not be determined by its most stable part, but by the part with the most severe wear. Once a problem occurred, it would mean replacing the whole thing.
The Permanent Teleportation Portal that Xia Duo had made previously was like this.
Although it could be used for a long time, there would always be a day when its lifespan ended, unlike the Mythallar, which had an open structure that could be maintained at any time, equivalent to a Ship of Theseus that never disappeared.
Whether disposable items were cheaper or regular maintenance cost less—this was a question that neither Xia Duo nor Yinaole could determine in the short term; they simply chose the plan that was more convenient for them.
Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to make a disposable one when selling to the outside world.
……
Before long, the Suspension Base calibration was complete. After checking and confirming that there were no problems with the Levitation Field, Xia Duo notified Kelifu: "I am ready to take out the Mythallar body. Please temporarily turn off the perception and reaction of the Guanghui Zhi Ta in this area."
For a high-energy device like a Mythallar, if a Mage Tower didn't have the slightest reaction, it wouldn't be a qualified Mage Tower. If everything else went well during the installation process, only to fail because of the Mage Tower's Protection System, that would be somewhat inexcusable.
At Xia Duo's request, Kelifu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and hurriedly said: "It has been set up. Please feel free, Lord Xia Duo."
"Mm."
Lord Xia Duo responded, then completely overlapped the space in his Personal Space corresponding to the Mythallar with the space where the Levitation Field was located in the hall.
Afterward, the Personal Space retracted, and a massive hollow sphere formed by deep blue threads appeared in the hall, radiating an intense Magic Aura.
"This—"
If he had been curious before, he was now completely shocked. Kelifu had thought about the existence form of an Independent Arcane Fire device, but he hadn't expected it to look like this.
Whether in normal vision or under Magic Vision, it was nearly the same as the Arcane Fire body itself, yet it was hundreds of times more complex than a true Arcane Fire body. And the materials constituting the device were almost no different from Magic Net Strings.
"This, this is simply incredible!"
A hazy light appeared in Kelifu's eyes. Although he was a Priest by background, his love for Magic was no less than that of any Great Arcanist. Furthermore, because he had embarked on the Arcane Path out of an understanding of Faith, his love for Magic was relatively purer than others.
Seeing such a rigorous, tranquil, and magnificent creation at this moment, Kelifu felt as if he were seeing a Divine Miracle of the Lord of Radiance, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"My Lord above, to think I have been allowed to glimpse such a miraculous creation!"
"Ahem—"
Xia Duo, who was waiting on the side for the acceptance, heard this and reminded him in a low voice, "The Mythallar has already been certified by the Lady of Mysteries. Some things are better said with caution."
"Oh! I apologize, I was too excited!"
After Xia Duo's reminder, Kelifu noticed that the connection point between the Mythallar and the deep layers of the Magic Net revealed the divine aura of the Lady of Mysteries. For a Priest like him, this should have been something he discovered at the very first moment.
That portion of the aura had no effect on the operation of the Mythallar itself; it merely conveyed a sense of being God-Favored and cherished. Come to think of it, if even such a pure and exquisite Magic Creation could not receive the favor of the Lady of Mysteries, then what could?
"It has been a long time since I encountered a scene that made my emotions nearly spiral out of control. Lord Xia Duo, this Mythallar device truly exceeds my expectations!"
"As long as you are satisfied, Your Excellency, otherwise those 30,000 pounds of Mithril would have been spent in vain!"
Xia Duo made a small joke, then handed over the production manual for the Mythallar and the Suspension Base, reminding the other party to perform a final check.
As for the other Suspension Base, Xia Duo did not intend to calibrate it personally; he would leave it to Kelifu, which would also give him something to do later.
"If there are no problems, then this transaction is considered complete."
"Mm, mm."
Kelifu nodded repeatedly while greedily flipping through the production manual provided by Xia Duo, which was a full foot thick. Seeing this, the corners of Xia Duo's mouth twitched subconsciously; he had long anticipated this situation, but Kelifu was even more eager than he had imagined.
Before long, Kelifu seemed to have discovered some doubt; he quickly flipped the manual to the end with a rustle, and only then asked with a puzzled expression:
"The production process is very detailed, but why is there no mention of the material for the Mythallar body?"
"The Mythallar body is a material called 【Daiwei String】. The preparation method for this material will not be obtained by anyone, including the Seven Towers, in the short term. If Your Excellency has a need for the material itself, I can provide it for free."
"Free? That wouldn't be right, would it?"
