Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1113 Improving Scaling Land Thawing
On the side of the square well, Xia Duo looked down at the Statue sculpture that was silenced by the water body below the well, and silently cast a spell to float the sculpture from the well, and finally landed beside him.

Although Xia Duo had already estimated the size of the Codex sculpture, when the finished sculpture was placed in front of him, he could still feel a strong visual impact.

The base of the lower part of the sculpture is about a 6*6*6 cube. Standing next to it is like facing a tall wall with a very oppressive look.

On the top of the base is a huge half-open book. Of course, you want to see the upper part of the sculpture, but you can't see it if you get close. You have to step back a few steps to see the magnificent sculpture. Great Xia Law Code.

After turning around the sculpture twice and confirming that there are no quality problems, Xia Duo showed a satisfied smile.

Of course, the absence of quality problems does not mean that there are no other problems. In fact, there are still many problems!
The most notable of these is the incongruity of the scaled-up details of the miniature Codex sculptures.

In fact, there is no problem with the miniature Codex sculpture itself, but due to its small size, Xia Duo considered looking down and looking up more during the production process, while the enlarged official version only has to look up.

The change of perspective will cause the sculpture to look a little inconsistent. Fortunately, the elements of the sculpture are relatively simple, such as books and cubes, and the sense of incongruity is not too obvious.

If it is a portrait, the sense of violation may be stronger.

Another problem is also related to magnification, which is-

There is no decorative pattern or texture on the base of the small sculpture, and it doesn’t feel like a thing, but when it is enlarged, if there is still no decorative pattern or texture, it will look too monotonous, and there will be large blank spaces.

Therefore, subsequent versions also need to add some decorative lines or patterns.

Finally, there is the issue of the precision of miniature sculptures, of course, it is also related to magnification.

When making miniature Codex sculptures, although Xia Duo polished them in every possible way, he focused more on the design and did not give much consideration to the precision.

At least there is no special measurement spell to control the accuracy, just "hand rubbing" based on feeling.

Although it is not obvious when it is small, when it is scaled up countless times, the inaccuracy is also magnified countless times, and it is much more obvious.

For example, as the base of the lower part of the sculpture, the four sides should be a very smooth plane. Although it is smooth now, it is not a plane.

The light in the Arcane Garden is very sufficient, and Xia Duo can easily see the unevenness on the four sides around the base through the reflection of light.

This also needs to be corrected later.

Of course, subsequent versions will also add the text of the code on the four sides of the sculpture base, which was not present on the previous miniature version.

This involves typesetting and the enlarged effect, which needs to be continuously tested by Xia Duo.

However, for the next test, Xia Duo does not need to make a physical sculpture every time. This time the physical sculpture is only made to verify whether the [Large Stone Modeling Technique] is feasible.

It turns out it works.

Next, he only needs to observe the enlarged projection of the miniature sculptures to make targeted adjustments to the miniature sculptures.

When all the problems related to accuracy, magnification, and typesetting of the text of the Codex are resolved, then [Code Sculpture·Constant Substrate·Official Version] will come out.

The so-called "constant matrix" is an item that can be used for constant magic in layman's terms. After the [Code Sculpture Constant Matrix] is completed, Xia Duo will use it for constant magic, making it a practical magic item with more functions. And not just a sculpture.

Even if this sculpture actually has the text of the code.

……

In addition to the problems related to the construction of the Codex sculpture, Xia Duo also discovered a problem related to the [Large Stone Modeling Technique].

That is the boundary problem of the open field.

This time, because it reversed petrification, it didn't have any impact on the area outside the 6*6*10 square well, but what if the effect of [Sculpting] was not to reverse petrification, but to erase it?
In fact, erasure is more universal, no matter what stone or even other materials can be used.

And if it is an open erasure field, wouldn't even the caster himself be within the erasure range, which would be too stupid.

Therefore, this modeling spell still needs to converge its outwardly diverging field in the end, turning it into a limited convergent alien field.

However, Xia Duo didn't have much interest in solving this problem. His research on plastic arts was to build large sculptures. If he was making other small items, the alchemy circle would be a better choice.

In fact, he is going to use the alchemy circle to improve the next miniature code sculpture.

In addition to continuing to build large-scale code sculptures in the future, Xia Duo estimates that he will not have many opportunities to use the [Large Stone Modeling Technique], so naturally he has no motivation to improve.

There is still time to improve it when necessary, and the most important thing is to make the code sculpture as soon as possible.

Of course, there is also the magic net environment outside the Tower of Time, which needs to be repaired as soon as possible.

In this way, Xia Duo once again started the one-hour two-headed running mode.

Of course, strictly speaking, his main job is actually to repair the magic net, and the work related to the sculpture of the Codex is to take a break when he is tired of repairing the magic net.

……

When Xia Duo, the lord, was working hard, the Great Xia Territory was no exception. Since receiving Xia Duo's instructions, Leiden went to the east of the Elemental Fountain to check the thawing of the land every day. (The chaotic area of ​​the magic net is shrinking, and some areas have stopped, allowing ordinary people to start working first, and then wait for the follow-up to return to normal)

At noon that day, he came to the east of the Elemental Fountain as usual, first saluted the lord who was still working from a distance, and then squatted down to check the thawing of the ground under his feet.

The judging criterion is to insert the shovel into the ground forcefully. If it can be inserted, it means that the work can be started. Otherwise, you need to wait another day.

Without the blessing of the holy power, Layton's strength is not much greater than that of ordinary people. As long as he can move, others must be able to.

It's nothing more than a little less efficient, as long as it can start working, everything is easy to say.

If it wasn't for the lord's intention to not allow the fire to be burned, Layton would have preferred to pull the wood piled up everywhere in the territory to burn it here.

However, when the shovel went down today, seeing that the shovel was stably and deeply inserted into the ground, Layton knew that there was no need to start a fire, and he did not need to think of other ways.

The ground has begun to thaw!

　It is impossible to be stuck at 8 o'clock, it may be earlier or later, today is a little earlier~~
