Chapter 3019: An Unusual Elemental Plane
Having established some principled terms regarding the ownership, development rights, and development outcomes of new planes, Xia Duo first shared the coordinates of those small planes recently discovered by the Tower of Time, using this as support for the new resolution.
Because of its special nature, Xia Duo did not make the Blue Crystal Plane public, and at the same time, he was also looking for a way to hide planes under the new technology.
For the time being, he could only expend a large amount of resources to slowly pull the Blue Crystal Plane to move irregularly within the Ether Interlayer; although it is called a small plane, its volume is still far, far larger than a man-made Demiplane!
Moreover, at the scale of a small plane, its space-time state within the Ether Interlayer has already reached a state of equilibrium between repulsion and attraction with the Main Plane.
It is not so easy to change, and one can only nudge it slightly along its equilibrium trajectory.
If the Main Plane side can determine the equilibrium trajectory between a small plane and the Main Plane, then such pulling-style concealment is completely ineffective.
It is best to find a way to make the plane's phantom disappear from the Ether Boundary; Xia Duo believes that the Holy Golden Dragon Empire likely has similar technology, and while he is not sure about the specific effect, it is at least a line of thought.
Now it just depends on whether Pulitatisi knows about this technology and whether he is willing to share it.
……
After Xia Duo, several others successively disclosed some new plane coordinates, especially Xisilai; although he was very dissatisfied with the selfishness of the local councilors recently, he did not leave the Plane Exploration Center in Xin Saiwendun.
The reason for waiting for a breakthrough in plane concealment technology before going is mainly because Xia Shao has a bottom line in his heart; actually, I would just go there now and trade using some planes not yet shared with other councilors, but if those planes certainly do not have suitable concealment means, they will sooner or later be discovered by the new observation points on the Ether Advance Base side.
Realizing this point, Xia Shao decided to go to Calimshan after there is a breakthrough in plane concealment means, taking advantage of the time before the number of normal planes explodes, to seize the time to exchange for some Elemental Planes there.
Making the latter usable as a pure consumable, that is the biggest difference.
The revenue sharing should be determined!
Elemental creatures with Wisdom also exist, and most Element Elders have already developed Wisdom, but who would be willing to use Element Elders to produce Elemental Essence?
Finally, the new planes shared by each councilor were summarized; the number was truly not small, and after removing duplicates, there were actually more than one hundred!
After the meeting, Xia Shao returned to the Tower of Time and handed all the new plane coordinates shared from others to Saville, to be used for analyzing the state of the Ether Interlayer corresponding to the new planes, and subsequently improving Ether Interlayer detection technology.
However, Xia Shao still has one expectation, and that is the exploration technology based on the Ether Interlayer route; this has nothing to do with Pulitatisi and is entirely the Tower of Time's self-developed technology.
At present, the Elemental Planes that Netheril can discover are essentially Material Planes, but because their attributes are very extreme and almost only exist with a single Element Affinity, they are considered Elemental Planes.
Elemental Planes, such planes with extreme attributes, can grow normally, which must contain some unimaginable Principles of creation; if they can be obtained, it would be worth it even if traded for ten thousand normal planes.
But no matter what, Elemental Planes under the new technology are still very precious!
Once there is such technology and ability, intelligent life can truly completely get rid of the limitations brought by the natural environment.
……
If one only looks at the elements themselves, elements are everywhere, and even the essence of everything connected to the interior of the Material Plane is elements.
Although Xia Shao can already Create Demiplane now, that is only the crudest imitation of the Main Plane, and the process even requires the Plane Root to evolve on its own.
Of course, speaking utilitarianly, Calimshan also holds the coordinates of Elemental Planes used for trading; if they are dissatisfied with the trade, it is inevitable that they will choose to disclose the coordinates, and everyone will part ways.
Regardless of the perspective of respecting intelligent beings or Sustainable Development, it is impossible to treat Element Elders as consumables.
The Elemental Essence produced by the Element Ranch can be used for true automated production, without being limited by the number and quality of Magic Technicians.
This time, he simply disclosed all the new planes discovered here during this period.
As for the application of Elemental Planes, for now, what is visible to the naked eye is of course their existence as Element Ranches; Calimshan has already applied them for who knows how long, and Xia Shao's Kuangfeng Weimian Element Ranch has also long been built.
Some Demiplane with specific attributes, he simply cannot create, let alone a normal plane that can grow.
Fortunately, Xia Shao is located in Nan Jing, and the more than ten new planes he shared did not overlap with others, but the new planes discovered by the observation points in the Inner Land had too many overlaps.
If there is a breakthrough in this, the efficiency might be higher than the exploration technology of the Ether Boundary route!
Now it seems that Elemental Planes seem to be hidden in deeper space-time, closer to the so-called world origin; of course, this is from the perspective of "existence-nonexistence".
This actually does not need to be asked; the finances of the Psionic Network Research Center are almost transparent to the Alliance, and the reason for specifically asking is nothing more than to remind Xia Shao—
……
If one can create a normal Habitable Plane that can grow, that is truly being fearless anywhere in the world; this is somewhat similar to the planet transformation technology that only exists in theory in Xia Shao's hometown.
Although it looks like changing from hiring human Mages to driving Elemental Essence, there is no change in essence, but Mages possess Wisdom, while Elemental Essence only has biological instincts and does not possess Wisdom.
However, today he did not start work immediately, because the representatives of various countries at the Northland Alliance Headquarters finally could not help but ask about the revenue situation of the Public Computing Power Pool.
Xia Shao will also participate in part of the work, but what he does most should still be the analysis of Ether Interlayer detection data and the design and optimization of related algorithms.
And for Elemental Planes, besides being able to build ranches to produce Elemental Essence, Xia Shao believes their existence itself is also very valuable; one can explore the mysteries of creation by studying the existence of Elemental Planes.
Although in the process of automated production, the higher the grade of the consumed Elemental Essence, the higher the cost, Element Elders are still the key to the sustainable operation of the Element Ranch.
Doing this is somewhat unauthentic.
In addition, sorting through the attributes of these one hundred-plus new planes, there is not a single Elemental Plane!
By then, there will be no need to share those newly discovered planes with others.
It is just that it is not yet the production cycle, so there is no harvest for the time being.
And as more and more new planes are discovered in the future, if Elemental Planes are still as rare as they are today, then the most precious thing by then might be Elemental Planes.
From this perspective, Calimshan in the south has great potential to be tapped; in the future, perhaps one can use normal planes to exchange for Elemental Planes with them; when it comes to discovering Elemental Planes, they might be more professional.
