Chapter 2649: Theory and Practice Combined, Blue Snow Bead

To create an Adamantine Semi-Plane, one needs to integrate the Adamantine solution of the Element-Matter Equation into the Plane Root of the semi-plane and form a lasting, stable pattern.

In reality, it is a semi-plane rooted in the Adamantine solution of the Element-Matter Equation, which is equivalent to a more complex and precise customized Plane Creation.

At first, Xia Duo was full of confidence, attempting to integrate the Element-Matter Equation during the Plane Root design stage, but he clearly overestimated himself and underestimated the uncertainty of Plane Evolution.

During the first experiment, Xia Duo used the Equation Spell as the core and added an instance of semi-plane root element transformation that had previously been successful, but as expected, something unexpected happened—

The Equation Spell and the successful Plane Root scheme were like oil and water; they could not fuse at all, or rather, once they fused, they lost their original properties.

After repeating this many times, Xia Duo generally understood that if he wanted to design a Plane Root for an Adamantine Semi-Plane, he would likely need a brand-new design approach different from the past.

One way is to consider it from the very beginning of the Plane Root design, continuously perfecting its Plane Root attributes while maintaining the characteristics of the Equation Spell.

The other way is to start with a conventional Plane Root, but intervene during the process of Plane Evolution to make it evolve in the direction of the Adamantine Equation.

These two approaches each have their advantages and limitations.

The former is more theoretical and requires a sufficiently deep understanding of the Plane Root to make such a design; it is a good research project, but once designed, it still requires consideration of the uncertainties during the process of Plane Evolution.

The latter, however, focuses more on experimentation, summarizing the laws of Plane Evolution intervention during the continuous experimental process to find the true solution; such a solution is not limited to Adamantine Semi-Planes, but can also be semi-planes with various other properties.

This approach seems very operable, but the experiment itself is more like looking for a needle in a haystack; ultimately, it may require a massive amount of experimentation to summarize laws that might not even be applicable to actually guiding the formation of an Adamantine Semi-Plane.

Furthermore, the experiment has one greatest limitation, which is the experimental cycle; even using the World Incubator, the time required to create a semi-plane with a mature scheme is calculated in days.

The time required for actual experimentation is even longer; although efficiency can be improved by controlling multiple experiments simultaneously, the cycle of a single experiment is very difficult to reduce.

Controlling multiple experiments simultaneously also requires more auxiliary personnel; for Xia Duo to control two or three experiments at the same time alone is considered an extraordinary performance, and even then, he must bring his avatar back.

After comprehensive consideration, Xia Duo decided to have theory and practice run in parallel; purely statistical summaries are not enough, and theoretical guidance is necessary. Combining the two is just right, as they can leverage each other.

It is just that, in this way, he alone is far from enough to support such a large project.

In fact, researching Magic until now, Xia Duo has increasingly felt the limitations of individual ability; for a single person, no matter how strong their talent is, many necessary processes cannot be omitted.

The current Adamantine Semi-Plane project is a most typical example; even if this project actually contains no difficulties beyond his cognition, the huge workload makes him feel a bit daunted.

"I still need more people!"

While sighing, Xia Duo decided to temporarily adjust his plan. Of course, the Adamantine Semi-Plane project still has to be done, and not just the Adamantine Semi-Plane, but also other Resource Demiplanes or semi-planes with more special properties.

But this project involves too many elements, and he definitely cannot handle it alone. He decided to first set up a framework and then fill it in slowly later.

As for now, he decided to change his approach; he would not pursue the essence of the semi-plane being Adamantine, nor would he pursue the natural evolution of Adamantine matter during the process of Plane Evolution.

He is now only prepared to make a small toy that can produce Adamantine steadily, and he does not limit whether the physical properties of this Adamantine are stable or whether it requires time to accumulate.

Reality is just like this; as long as the conditions are relaxed, many problems are no longer problems.

……

Soon, Xia Duo took out a sealed Void Semi-Plane from the warehouse, which is the kind of pure space used for a Void Warehouse that has almost no matter inside and even negligible gravity.

The structure of this kind of semi-plane is too simple, almost to the point of being kicked out of the "Plane" ranks, but it is still much more stable than a general Dimension Space.

Xia Duo used this kind of semi-plane as the main material, and the rest was to embed the Element-Matter Equation into it; in reality, it is the method of making ordinary Magic Items, just with a more special choice of main material.

And the Equation Spell itself is similar to a Mythallar, or a kind of microscopic Mythallar; the Evocation Equation he discovered himself earliest could exist continuously in the normal environment of the Main Plane.

The Element-Matter Equation can certainly do so as well.

It is just that maintaining existence and maintaining a solution in a specific direction are different; the latter requires the consumption of energy, and if the energy is insufficient, the Spell will also disintegrate.

Therefore, Xia Duo chose a low-power state for the constant Adamantine solution of the Element-Matter Equation, linking it with the elemental circulation of the Void Semi-Plane, occupying almost all the energy quota that the sparse Magic Net of this Void Semi-Plane draws from the Elemental Plane.

This approach made the lifespan of this Void Semi-Plane, which was already considered premature among semi-planes, even shorter by a large margin!

……

In the Laboratory, Xia Duo carefully examined the egg-sized Void Semi-Plane in his hand; inside, it looked like light blue snowflakes were drifting, and those were the Adamantine powder produced by the Element-Matter Equation.

"I wonder how long this state can last?"

Xia Duo silently estimated the lifespan of this little toy in his heart, but even if he estimated it high, the total Adamantine that could be produced was very limited; after all, the output per unit of time was really too low.

And this still requires sacrificing a semi-plane, so it can only be a toy, not anything truly useful.

Casually putting away this little toy that had been named Blue Snow Bead, Xia Duo continued to make the next one; the one just now had not been encrypted, and it was the first one, so it was better for his own collection.

If he wanted to give it to someone, he would still need to make some adjustments, such as encryption measures, decorations, and even more convenient ways to use it.

In the end, Xia Duo used up the four Void Semi-Planes in the warehouse and made three finished products; among them, one semi-plane was not very stable itself and had already disintegrated during the production process.

The current Blue Snow Bead still looks like a transparent glass bead, but it has an extra wooden base, and inside, blue stars and dots are drifting every moment, just like it is snowing.

But strangely, no matter how long this blue Adamantine snow falls, there is no accumulation at the bottom; instead, it increases the density of the Adamantine snow.

If one feels that enough has accumulated, one only needs to recite the preset command to take it out.

Xia Duo tried it a few times himself; the Adamantine powder accumulated in this short time was not even enough to cover his fingertip. If he wanted to save up enough for a weapon, he would probably have to wait a long time.

It really is just a rather novel toy.
