Chapter 3000: Ether Plane Experiment, Creating Boundaries

Badijiaer did not quite understand Xia Duo's request, but he still agreed to convene a council meeting specifically for this purpose and propose it in the name of the Seven Towers.

Re-signing a more stringent Confidentiality Agreement regarding the Mythallar also aligned with the interests of the Seven Towers; after all, they were now vested interests as well.

As for Iolum, he had actually realized it by this moment and had already sent a Sending privately to ask, "Is Pulitatisi related to the Holy Golden Dragon Empire that Saville once visited?"

Xia Duo only replied with a "Yes," and Iolum knew what he should do, though Xia Duo also reminded him again, "Do not reveal the existence of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire; for Netheril at present, maintaining a certain information advantage is very important."

"I understand, wait for my news."

Subsequently, Xia Duo interrupted the communication and met the inquisitive gaze of Saville opposite him, explaining, "The Mythallar plays an extraordinary role in this method of exploring new Planes through the Ether Boundary. I reminded the teacher and the Seven Towers to convene everyone to re-sign a stricter Confidentiality Agreement."

"Only when you say it like that do I realize it; it should be this way. If the Holy Golden Dragon Empire obtained the Mythallar, then I am afraid we would have no choice but to join them!"

As for what the threshold is, Xia Duo roughly knows there are these two aspects—

Not to mention building a Cross-Domain Teleportation Link with the Public Domain!

Xia Duo saw that Saville's mood was a bit off and immediately reminded him, "The Plane Exploration method we chose before indeed differs from the method of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, but that can only be said to be a difference in technical routes, not the superiority or inferiority of the technology itself. Speaking of which, I am even more inclined to believe that our technical route is more sophisticated and closer to the essence of the Plane!"

"Then what do you think of this Ether Boundary theory?" Xia Duo asked.

"Do not easily negate yourself!"

Thus, in the process of rushing over, the aliens tried every possible way to obstruct Earth's technological progress, and in the end, the two sides only reached a brief peace through the threat of destruction.

But the opportunity for the Main Plane to develop independently would also no longer exist!

If there are no surprises, the other side should be paying attention to the magic development of the Main Plane. Once they discover that the Main Plane has the possibility of surpassing the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, then what would the other side do?

This made Xia Duo think of a science fiction story from his hometown: aliens need hundreds of years to reach Earth, but if they really rushed over so foolishly, they might not find a backward Earth, but an Earth that had undergone several major technological explosions.

"Let's not talk about those. I have finished reading all the materials you brought back. To be honest, I stayed in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for more than seven years, yet I never came into contact with these materials. I really don't know if they suddenly emerged in these few years, or if the upper echelons at that time hid them deeply."

Perception precision is easy to improve, but analysis methods are not easy to advance. Taking the detection data collected by the Tower of Time as an example, the data dimension is as high as over one thousand, used to finely describe the space-time state of the Ether Interlayer.

From this perspective, the so-called Cross-Domain Teleportation Link project might just be a smokescreen to paralyze the Main Plane, wasting a large amount of manpower and material resources on such a huge project, while other areas would inevitably have deficiencies.

Although this is just a story, it can also bring inspiration to Xia Duo, and that is the Sa Wei Er Ti Si currently stranded on the Main Plane.

When saying these things, Saville himself had actually already obtained the answer. Even if he returned to the Main Plane a few years earlier than the arrival of Sa Wei Er Ti Si, a mere few years would likely not be enough for the Holy Golden Dragon Empire to develop such perfect technology.

The former is active, the latter is passive.

Or rather, would the other side try to obstruct the magic development of the Main Plane in advance?

As a witness who returned from a foreign domain, Saville is more inclined to believe the former is the truth.

If one wants to study it in depth, I am afraid it will be difficult beyond measure.

Xia Duo knows of the existence of the Ether Boundary, so naturally, it is not impossible to penetrate the essence of the Ether Boundary and even develop further Spell applications based on this.

In the early stage, Active Detection might indeed have better results, but passive data analysis, once it crosses a certain threshold, will be endless thereafter, far exceeding the effects of Active Detection.

Therefore, Netheril's new Plane Exploration route is closer to basic research, while the Holy Golden Dragon Empire's new Plane Exploration route is closer to the in-depth development of some ready-made technology.

But still the same saying, the emergence of new fields and new technologies itself implies the existence of new theories, just as if Sa Wei Er Ti Si only knew of the existence of the Mythallar, it would be possible to develop a Mythallar similar to Dragon Magic on its own.

Either there is a huge difference in the flow of time between two domains with different space-time states, or the upper echelons of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire hide information related to cross-domain matters very deeply.

Whenever the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is mentioned, Saville's tone always carries a complex emotion mixed with awe, yearning, and a trace of resistance.

Even if the Teleportation Link construction were truly completed and connected to the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, that is indeed a retreat path for when the Main Plane faces a world-ending crisis, even if the Holy Golden Dragon Empire were truly willing to accept the creatures of the Main Plane—

One is the perception precision of the Perception Field projected into the Ether Interlayer, and the other is the analysis method for the detection data.

And now, while the Cross-Domain Teleportation Link has not yet been built, time is temporarily on the side of the Main Plane; this is the opportunity for the Main Plane to overtake on a bend.

"Our current technical route is just lacking a bit of development time. Once we cross a certain threshold, our efficiency and accuracy in discovering new Planes will definitely far exceed that of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire."

The most pathetic thing is that most countries on the Main Plane are still in the classical period and have not formed a clear collective consciousness; being accepted and assimilated by an advanced civilization might instead be what they desperately hope for!

Of course, these thousand-plus dimensions are mostly defined by Xia Duo manually; it is not to say that one must use over a thousand states to define the Ether Interlayer. This is mainly because Xia Duo's understanding of the Ether Interlayer is still very shallow and can only be done in this way.

"It should be true, but it still needs to be verified. If it is confirmed to be true, then so much work we did before to explore new Planes would all be in vain!"

Using an example from Earth to describe it, the Ether Boundary route of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is a bit like detecting targets in the outside world through sonar; the higher the sonar power, the wider the detection range.

But through dimensionality reduction analysis of those data, it is possible to discover the essence of the Ether Interlayer. As for new Planes, they might just be a little harvest picked up casually during the process of exploring the essence of the Ether Interlayer.

But the traditional Ether Interlayer route of Netheril is like spreading antenna arrays widely on Earth, receiving electromagnetic signals from outer space, and determining the location and attributes of planets through analyzing the signals.

Of course, it is also possible that Sa Wei Er Ti Si has reservations and did not provide the relevant Principles regarding the Ether Boundary, having only a technical manual that can only teach the Netherese to use this means to discover new Planes.
