Chapter 2637: Trial Experience, Spatial Positioning
Arrived at the Labyrinth Laboratory.
Niya and her team were already waiting there. Seeing Xia Duo approach, Niya immediately handed him a bracelet-shaped Magic Item. Xia Duo glanced at it and found nothing unusual; it was just a standard sterling silver casing.
"Is this the Void Warehouse Connector you all made?"
"Mm, try it out and see what still needs improvement."
Niya looked at Xia Duo with some trepidation and did not offer further introduction. The others looked expectant; although the initial idea for this project came from Xia Duo, they had actually built it and naturally hoped for recognition.
Thus, Xia Duo checked the Spell design of this Connector while attuning it to himself. In terms of usage, the intuitive feeling was not much different from a Dimensional Bag.
In reality, the key to the Void Warehouse, which distinguishes it from a traditional Dimensional Bag, lies not in the Connector, but in the design and management of the Semi-plane Warehouse itself.
What the Void Warehouse sells is actually storage and transshipment services, not a storage space in the traditional sense. If Niya's team had not grasped this distinction, then this Void Warehouse would be unqualified.
With a hint of anticipation, Xia Duo began his first trial. The attunement process just now had been very smooth; next was the storage of items, which was the most basic function, and he assumed there would be no problems.
So, he took a bag of flour from his Personal Space and transferred it to the Void Warehouse. The entire experience remained very smooth, almost no different from using a Dimensional Bag.
In fact, the Personal Space uses that same method of access, only the Personal Space exists within Xia Duo's consciousness. Plane Overlap does not need to be realized through external Spells; it can be achieved directly with a movement of consciousness, which is the most convenient.
"The user-level concept is correct, but as the operators of the Void Warehouse, you all shouldn't have it be so complicated. I'll just ask one thing: how is the stuff in the warehouse handled after a user upgrades? Have you thought of a contingency plan?"
"Change to a Connector corresponding to a larger space?" Niya suddenly became somewhat unconfident.
The gravitational environment is also close to a Standard Suspension Field, which is to say, a zero-gravity environment.
Specifically regarding the Void Warehouse side, it also involves the connection of corresponding spaces and the partitioning of large spaces. This kind of partitioning is not a "cutting" of the actual space, but a partitioning at the connection level.
Now, experiencing this Void Warehouse, it has reached the point where it is almost exactly the same as a traditional Dimensional Bag, and perhaps even more convenient.
During this process, he also actually measured just how large the warehouse connected to this bracelet was—just as the name suggests, it is a large-scale warehouse, with at least several hundred cubic meters.
"This here is the main body of the Void Warehouse. The direction we have mainly been focusing on during this period is Spatial Positioning within the Plane, which is necessary for multiple Connectors to correspond to a single Semi-plane. Fortunately, the Tower of Time originally had relevant technology, otherwise I would have been helpless."
"Mm."
Compared to a regular Semi-plane, although one might only be able to create one a day, or even take several days to create one, the success rate might not be much higher. One might busy oneself for several days only to end up failing.
Under Niya's guidance, Xia Duo came to this Semi-plane used for the Void Warehouse. Inside this Plane, there was no land, only thin atmosphere and hazy dim light.
Niya's answer made Xia Duo feel very surprised, but he still continued to ask based on the previous question, "Then if I want to expand the space now, what should be done?"
"Is your current Void Warehouse designed like that?"
At this moment, on one edge of this Semi-plane, the various items Xia Duo had just stored during his trial were quietly floating there.
Although it is more "dilapidated" than a regular Semi-plane, the Plane formation is more stable because it does not require too much evolutionary process. A regular Semi-plane is already a premature birth compared to a stable Plane.
Having such a process naturally makes it more troublesome.
"Upgrade by having them temporarily take out the things they stored before, and then store them back in after we give them a larger space?"
Or to put it more accurately, one must determine the boundaries for every Void Warehouse. Otherwise, if the boundaries are unclear, in the event that something is stored in someone else's warehouse, that would be a major accident.
Because, for the convenience of ordinary people or High Mages with insufficient magical knowledge, the Dimensional Bag is designed for physical opening—that is, by directly opening the bag with one's hands, one can place items into the Dimension Space.
And this Semi-plane, compared to a regular Semi-plane, is a premature birth among premature births.
"This is the minimum capacity!"
The lifespan of this Semi-plane is far lower than other Semi-planes, though compared to humans, it is still incomparably long. This was specially designed by Xia Duo for the Void Warehouse.
However, this also has one advantage: the production cycle is short. Currently, one can adopt a pulse-like form to manufacture in large quantities. Although the success rate is low, by manufacturing ten or twenty times a day, one will always succeed once.
"Just one."
With no outsiders present, Niya spoke much more relaxed, and what she was saying now, Xia Duo had actually sensed during his trial just a moment ago.
Niya's voice was small, and Xia Duo almost didn't hear it, but he did finally know that the Void Warehouse Niya designed was actually the same as a regular Dimensional Bag, only it mapped multiple Connectors to a larger space.
And in other parts of this Semi-plane, there were also some scattered items floating; these must have been stored by Niya and the others during their previous experiments.
Of course, it is not as convenient as a Personal Space. Xia Duo usually doesn't really use Dimensional Bags and doesn't even carry them often; he usually leaves the Dimensional Bag in his Personal Space and only takes it out when needed.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask Niya, "What is the minimum capacity for a single user's Void Warehouse?"
Next, Xia Duo tried storing and retrieving different types of items, from ordinary items to Magic Items, from small items to large items, without any obstruction.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo asked another question: "How many Semi-planes did you use for this Void Warehouse?"
……
Other fixed-form Storage Props, such as rings and bracelets, use the method of Plane Overlap for storage and retrieval; it is actually more convenient, just not suitable for operation by ordinary people.
"Mm."
It was just that he hadn't thought it through at the time. Now that Niya introduced it, he realized the difficulty involved. Niya mentioned Spatial Positioning within the Plane; the Tower of Time indeed has relevant technology, but it is only related to positioning.
……
"Then let's go inside the Semi-plane to take a look."
This is obviously not very appropriate.
At the very least, this kind of capacity warehouse is not suitable for basic Void storage services; there should be at least a dozen tiers between it and the basic model!
