Chapter 2240: Revisiting the Trip to the East

————Will make up for it tomorrow~~

After cutting the communication, Xia Duo slapped his forehead. His train of thought had just been disrupted by the news mentioned by Elder Laruian. In fact, when combined with the timeline, wasn't the other party talking about Poson's encounter in the nameless valley of Yierlan?

Xia Duo had originally thought that they had truly encountered an attack by the Northland Alliance there, and then Poson had narrowly escaped death, eventually becoming enlightened and turning into a staunch resister and revolutionary. But looking at it now, the Alliance's operation there had actually failed?!

Then, what was the purpose of Poson's encounter? Clearly having the certainty to counter the Alliance's attack, yet deliberately putting on a facade of sacrifice—could it just be to recruit Poson?

Xia Duo could not figure this question out for the moment. However, considering the Illuminati's Prophecy, perhaps the other party had already seen the influence he had exerted on Poson? Or perhaps Poson himself was a special individual, shouldering a special destiny and mission?

In any case, no matter what, Xia Duo decided to increase his attention on Poson. Regardless of what the Illuminati was planning, targeting his "meat puppet" was underestimating him too much!

……

After pondering for a while, Xia Duo continued to visit various construction sites of the Floating City to check the work progress of the Magic Technician Office, and afterwards, he came to the Laboratory again to continue the previously unfinished construction of the Mythallar.

Although he had long had a new plan, the current one was still the most mature 【Spherical Radial Configuration Independent Arcane Fire Device 1.0】 plan. Of course, speaking of its position in the entire research system, it should actually be version 2.3.15.

Among them, "2" refers to the 【Spherical Radial Configuration】 proposed by Xia Duo, "3" refers to having undergone three major improvements, and 15 is the minor adjustment after the third major improvement.

Starting from version 2.3, it was a version that could be put into practical use. After more than ten minor version updates, the final mature plan was achieved, which is the so-called 【1.0】 plan.

Xia Duo's new plan now did not break through the scope of the 【Spherical Radial Configuration】 either; it was just a major improvement on the current mature plan, which could perhaps be called version 【2.4.2】.

Currently, these were still only on paper. Although there were no problems in theory, they still needed to be verified through real experiments. After finishing this recent busy period, Xia Duo would set about preparing for the relevant experiments.

As for now, Xia Duo, just like yesterday, started the hundred-meter-diameter ring-shaped Daiwei String Component Preparation Machine, and amidst a flicker of spiritual light, mechanically linked the newly created Daiwei String Components to the Magic Net.

This kind of work was very boring, but it had to be done; this was responsibility.

Of course, this was also because of the backwardness of technology; productivity was still far from reaching the level of fully liberating the individual. For this, Xia Duo would continue to work hard.

……

In the process of making the Mythallar, Xia Duo did not need to concentrate all his attention. He still kept a considerable portion of his attention inside his consciousness, constantly reviewing what he had learned and organizing it.

Perhaps the accumulation was enough today, or perhaps he was inspired by the conscious communication in the Spirit Thought Network, he suddenly thought: isn't the Mental Image World a virtual Plane Blueprint?

Or rather, the 【Plane Blueprint】 used to Create Demiplane is, in essence, the Mental Image World on paper. What needs to be done now is to turn it into an illusion, and this process can even be used as a necessary step for Creating Demiplane.

Xia Duo could already think of the benefits of doing this: he could perform targeted simulations before actually Creating Demiplane. If the simulation results were not ideal, he would not need to actually create it.

But there was still a problem here, and that was the basic rules of reality. He did not fully understand them. To make the simulation have actual effects, he at least needed to find a "Black Box" that excluded known rules but still contained a large number of unknown variables.

To establish a virtual Reality Engine with this.

This might be difficult to do on Earth because rules cannot be manifested and can only be revealed by phenomena, while phenomena require various conditions to be realized.

Therefore, wanting to establish a Black Box based on reality on Earth is no different from recreating a Universe. The so-called virtual engine only contains known rules and does not contain rules that exist in reality but have not yet been discovered.

But in the world of Magic, it can be said that the Magic Net is the manifestation of rules. By operating the Magic Net, one can change reality. This is also the origin of Magic, and it does not require the complex and harsh material conditions as on Earth.

Recreating a Universe is achievable, and Creating Demiplane can actually be seen as the first step in creating a Universe.

Thus, this made it convenient for Xia Duo. At this moment, he had already thought that he could strip away the known rules of reality (referring to the Main Plane) through Plane experiments, and then encapsulate the remainder to serve as an object for invocation (Black Box Function) when subsequently constructing the Mental Image World.

With this inspiration, Xia Duo wished he could immediately transfer to the Plane Laboratory to conduct relevant experiments. However, he was a bit too hasty; he still had to complete the production tasks formulated previously. Experiments might not necessarily have results, but the Mythallar would definitely bring benefits. Even if he didn't do it today, he would have to do it tomorrow; the promised auction date could not be delayed.

But in the process of continuing to make the Mythallar, Xia Duo constantly perfected this concept. When today's tasks were completed, he immediately teleported back to the Plane Laboratory to start using his rest time to conduct experiments.

……

Three days later, Xia Duo's wild, completely unmasked laughter came from the Laboratory: "Hahaha, so that's it! I should have thought of this earlier!"

There is an old saying from his hometown that "all paths of the Dao lead to the same destination." While seeking the reality Black Box that strips away known rules, Xia Duo accidentally discovered that if this process were reversed, it would actually be entirely possible to artificially create a Demiplane similar to the Main Plane (or any known Plane), and perhaps even a true Plane!

Because the process of Creating Demiplane is not entirely controllable, or the process of Creating Demiplane is simply inputting a few preset values according to the 【Plane Blueprint】, and the vast majority of the rest relies on the automatic evolution of elements. This is essentially also utilizing a Black Box.

Now, it is just a matter of providing more precise preset parameters and a specially optimized Black Box; creating a Plane similar to the Main Plane is entirely possible.

However, there is also a problem here, and that is that the process of creating a Plane requires human intervention to provide energy to accelerate the reaction; otherwise, relying solely on natural reactions, it is equivalent to the birth of a real Plane, and who knows how long one would have to wait!

And the closer it is to the process of the birth of a real Plane, the actual acceleration is also a part of the change, and the closer the details are to reality, the longer the time required.

In layman's terms, Xia Duo might be able to create a Habitable Plane similar to the Main Plane, but he might have to wait a long time for it.

But regardless, this is good news. At the very least, the Tower of Time has not yet discovered a Habitable Plane. While exploring and discovering, starting a creation program first means that even if a Habitable Plane is not discovered in the future, he can use one he manufactured himself.

Of course, this is still just a concept. Specific implementation is definitely not as simple as Creating Demiplane, such as stable energy supply, automated maintenance facilities, etc. After all, Xia Duo cannot tie himself to this matter.
