Chapter 2598: Personal Mage Residence in a Semi-plane, Breakthrough in a Secret Land
Jieyin's method is to place half of an eccentric wheel into a specially designed arc-shaped gravity field; when in use, one only needs to turn it by hand to obtain a continuous source of power.
The subsequent transmission of force is a matter of mechanical engineering; for this loom, the eccentric wheel is coaxial with one of the loom's shafts, requiring no additional mechanical mechanisms.
The energy utilization efficiency of this power conversion method is not high, but at least it has already shown signs of a universal standard, and based on this, it can be rapidly iterated.
"Does the Steam Engine Group know about this invention of yours?"
"Since this machine has not yet reached my ideal expectations, currently only you, Teacher, know about it."
"Hmm. Then there is no rush to make it public; refine it well, especially the power conversion aspect—it has great potential, so you can continue to research it in depth!"
Xia Duo offered a bit of advice, then added, "I have been quite busy lately; if you have any questions, you can go to the Tower of Time to ask first. I believe others will be very happy to provide you with answers."
"Once I am done with this busy period, I will give you a gift as a reward for your hard work during this time!"
"Teacher, I—"
"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse; don't you want to know what gift I am going to give you?"
"Ah?"
Since that is the case, it is even more necessary to develop toward the low-end market to establish an industry benchmark, thereby shaking off potential imitators.
Furthermore, it is not impossible to build a Mage Tower within a Semi-plane. Now that the 【World Incubator】 created by Xia Duo produces Semi-planes that are large enough, it is not only sufficient to build a fully functional Personal Mage Residence, but there is also plenty of space left for decoration.
One careless move and I have pioneered a blue ocean market with broad prospects!
If this concept were proposed before mass production in Semi-planes was possible, even I would not think much about it. But today, when Semi-planes can be mass-produced, this kind of portable building is no longer just a dream, but a practical and feasible plan that can be brought into reality.
Xia Duo still remembers why he wanted a portable villa in the first place; it was because he was in the middle of an Orc Tide at the time, and as an Apprentice, he was also conscripted to fight. Although it was only some mopping-up work, the danger was truly not small.
"Hmm, I was wrong before; such a high-end product probably cannot be made for everyone to have one!"
So, how much would such a Personal Mage Residence, essential for home and travel, sell for?
However, regarding this kind of portable building, Xia Duo only has a rough idea for now, and it is not that easy to truly realize it. But as long as he finishes this busy period, he will have plenty of time to consider it.
It is just that it is already at the tail end of August. That day, Xia Duo was exploring the Secret Land Mythallar as usual, but a message from Niya forced him to temporarily stop his work.
It is just that, in this way, Xia Duo has to doubt the other party's sincerity regarding further cooperation.
"Is that so?"
Moreover, the Semi-plane is controlled by the user, which can make high-end users feel more at ease using it.
Two days later, Xia Duo finally made a major breakthrough in his exploration of the Secret Land Mythallar. He successfully seized a portion of the Permission Level belonging to a Manager, or more accurately, he forcibly constructed a Manager through a clever method!
"I welcome Controller Huo En to the Nan Jing." Of course, one could also overlap the entire Semi-plane with a portion of the Main Plane, which would create a feeling of having a hidden world within, as if a larger space had been forcibly stuffed into a small corner.
But this time, he used an avatar for the exploration; whether he could retreat unscathed was not of great significance. The most critical thing was to control this Secret Land, determine its relationship with the Dragon Madness Mythallar, and then attempt to stop or delay the trend of the Dragon Madness Mythallar's collapse.
For example, building a private garden or something similar.
And a laboratory is almost a standard configuration for every Spellcaster, whether it is a General Laboratory for production and manufacturing, or a Spell Laboratory for spell practice and spell testing.
"A personal laboratory that can be carried around!"
Hearing Xia Duo say this, Jieyin, who originally wanted to refuse, could not help but become interested. Even if he didn't want the gift, he was indeed very interested in the content of the gift, so he asked subconsciously:
Xia Duo had originally thought that the Tower would not send a Controller over, but he did not expect that Huo En would still come. There might be factors of negotiating cooperation in this, but it also somewhat showed the sincerity of the Tower.
As long as it does not involve the Core Area, even if a Maintainer were to be resurrected, there would be nothing he could do.
And don't complain about the price; this is the price of an ordinary Mage Tower, but can an ordinary Mage Tower be carried around like this Semi-plane residence?
This is much safer than camping in the wild.
For a time, he was full of interest in this magical existence; even if it weren't a laboratory, a portable residence would be extremely good.
When in the wild, he had sighed more than once about how good it would be to have a portable villa. It wouldn't necessarily have to be summoned to the Main Plane; his true body could also move in.
Thus, Xia Duo cut off almost all contact with the outside world and devoted himself entirely to the exploration—or rather, the invasion—of the Secret Land Mythallar.
Tower of Time, Reception Room.
Thinking this, Xia Duo had already left the Jieyin Laboratory and returned to his own laboratory in the Floating City.
Considering that Jieyin wanted to be closer to his family, Xia Duo thought of a dream he had during his time as an Apprentice—a villa that could be carried around and summoned at any time.
Hearing that it was a laboratory, and one that could be carried around, even though Jieyin had made many estimates, he had never imagined that his teacher's gift could actually be such an existence.
And he had a premonition that this thing would probably sell much better than a Semi-plane. If a Semi-plane is viewed as a raw material, this kind of portable building is deep processing, which will inevitably bring more added value.
"What gift?"
Seeming to perceive Xia Duo's suspicion, Bulundesi immediately stated his position, "Two days from now, Lord Huo En will personally visit the Nan Jing to discuss matters of our subsequent cooperation."
But just having the Manager's Permission Level was not enough; he had failed to reach the core. At the very least, he could not bypass the higher Permission Level to enter the Core Area. It could only be said that he had temporarily gained a foothold within the Folded Space where the Secret Land was located.
If he couldn't do these things, what would it matter even if he could retreat unscathed?
It would have to start at a million at the very least!
Perhaps in the future, this thing will be a standard item that everyone has!
However, the laboratory Xia Duo wanted to give—Jieyin's current laboratory had conditions that were truly too poor in every aspect, so poor that he couldn't bear to look at it.
As long as the laboratory or villa is built within a Semi-plane, when in use, one just needs to find an open space and overlap the area where the building is located within the Semi-plane with the Main Plane, which can create a phenomenon similar to summoning.
Of course, the premise is that the Secret Land Mythallar remains in its current state. If the Mythallar were repaired, then Xia Duo could only guarantee that he could retreat unscathed.
However, all dissatisfaction quietly dissipated when Bulundesi produced the Bloodline Sequencing progress that Jilan High Tower had been keeping hidden all along.
Seeing Bulundesi again, Xia Duo was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart; dissatisfied that the other party had interrupted his exploration plan, and dissatisfied that the Tower had not sent a Controller to come in person.
According to the original transaction process, it would have required Xia Duo to first send people to Jilan High Tower to participate in subsequent research before it could be gradually shared. He did not expect Jilan High Tower to be so generous as to give it out directly.
If the Void Warehouse is a Personal Storage Space solution that Xia Duo opened up for the general public, then a portable building should be a high-end upgraded version of a Personal Storage Space.
Even for a Private Library or a Private Warehouse, for a Spellcaster, is there any existence more ideal than a portable space?
