Chapter 2052 Creating the First Farm on the Demiplane
That's why Xia Duo handed over the design task of the communication fan lock to Niya.

In addition to the fact that Niya had already selected the background fluctuation of the magic net as the research direction of the advanced arcanist, the communication fan lock happened to be a problem, and Xia Duo also intended to cultivate it, the more direct reason was that Xia Duo had limited personal time and energy. Unable to undertake all tasks.

……

After briefly communicating with Niya on the issue of the communication fan lock, Xia Duo quickly left the meeting room, more precisely, he left the Tower of Time.

Now that the floating city is connected to the territory, the citizens can go to the planting area to reclaim and plant at any time to solve the problem of food self-sufficiency in the territory.

But before that, there is still a very urgent problem that Xia Duo needs to solve, that is, the planting area is still a bare slab-literally, the surface is the azure rock mass of the main body of the floating city, which is smooth.

Now there are two roads before Xia Duo, one is to create directly with magic or cut the soil from the ground, spread it directly in the planting area and then hand it over to the people.

The other is to bring one or more demiplanes to the planting area to create an effect similar to the "Heaven and Earth in the Pot" of the Tower of Time Arcane Garden.

The advantage of the former is that it can be put into use soon, but the disadvantage is that the Floating Void City is quite large. Without additional space to expand such a large planting area, it will be difficult to support the million-level population that the Floating Void City will reserve in the future.

Even the 10,000+ people in the current territory is estimated to be enough. After all, the area of ​​the sphere is easy to calculate. In an ideal state, there is only so much land area at most. With a little bit of field ridges and roads, the actual planting area will shrink a lot.

But these problems will not be a problem if the demiplane is used. Basically, the size of the heart can grow as big as the planting area. The only problem is that the demiplane is not easy to make.

Xia Duo actually struggled with these issues for a long time, and finally decided to open up the layout and create several demiplanes.

……

On the etheric plane, the Tower of Time projects the nameless forest to the south.

After nearly a year, when he came here again, Xia Duo found that compared with the last time, this strangely shaped forest could not be said to have changed its appearance, it had simply become another forest.

Apart from the changes in the forest itself, what surprised him the most was that the area near the projection of the Tower of Time began to show traces of the development of the Great Xia Territory.

Among them, the traces of the Linshui River are the most obvious, followed by some old wooden houses near the Wolfburg River.

Xia Duo walked into those old wooden houses, and he saw some specious traces of life inside. Such a change is actually not too unusual for the whole of Netheril, but it is the first time that Daxia led the change. He was surprised.

It should be said that this is just a certain characteristic of the etheric plane, which will either actively or passively converge with the terrain and architecture of the main plane, but the details are specious.

Of course, if the difference is very large, it is not unacceptable, because the ether plane is a fickle plane.

……

Arriving at the casting position of the plane of creation last time, it is now completely occupied by strange knotted plants, Xia Duo can't see the appearance of last time here at all.

After a brief cleaning, Xia Duo summoned the Floating Void City to lower its vigilance around. Although it was a cross-plane effect, it was more reliable than Xia Duo's own spellcasting.

Not only that, the half-plane he wants to create this time is no longer the aborted half-plane with a lifespan of just one day like last time.

When No. 1 Spire was under construction, Shadow asked Savile to ask Iolum for two half-planes to build the Arcane Garden. As a result, Iolum directly asked Savile to bring back the creation blueprint of the half-plane .

In other words, now he has been able to create a relatively stable, complete, and practical demiplane!

only--

Xia Duo recalled the details of the creation blueprint in the Iolum magic book, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking that his imperfect half-plane had spent three or four hours in casting time alone.

This is because the spell is cast on the etheric plane. If it is on the material plane, the time must be doubled at least, and additional assistance from the [plane limiter] is required.

And Iolum's creation blueprint is rich in details, it is not comparable to Xia Duo's simple spells at all, it is completely an order of magnitude gap.

And this also means that if Xia Duo completely followed Iolum's creation blueprint to create the demiplane, the time needed would increase by an order of magnitude, at least several times faster than his own!
Creating a demiplane can be said to be a no-cost business, the only cost is the caster himself, which is the main reason why Xia Duo is struggling to create a demiplane.

I really don't want to do this kind of hard work!
Of course, if Xia Duo asked Iolum for a demiplane knowing the details of the creation blueprint's spellcasting, he wouldn't be able to do such a heartless thing.

In the end, after tangling and tangling, he still had to do it himself to get enough food and clothing.

However, Xia Duo is also considering whether it is possible to design a magic item, or equipment, specially used to create demiplanes.

Considering the complexity of the creation blueprint and the flux of elements involved in spells, it may be necessary to use Mythra's same David string to make the core functional parts of the main body of the device.

If you can succeed, making money is secondary, at least you don't have to tire yourself so much anymore.

"Ugh--"

Xia Duo let out a long sigh, putting away his distracting thoughts and getting ready to start. Regardless of whether a creation machine will be born in the future, at least for now he cannot avoid this extremely difficult and long-term spellcasting.

——【Root Shaping】!
Similar to Xia Duo's process of creating the demiplane, Iolum's plan is to shape the source of the demiplane first, and then fill in the elements to make it finally take shape.

Or Xia Duo’s idea of ​​creating a demiplane came from Iolum and Congeenio. When he saw Iolum’s creation blueprint for the first time, he lamented that Iolum was shaping the plane. In addition to the attainments at the root, I actually feel a kind of power from inheritance.

And the source of the plane he is shaping now, although it comes from Iolum, has a very similar creation concept to the one he researched at the beginning——

The elements are balanced and quite satisfactory.

The root of the plane is essentially the design blueprint of the plane, but it is also a specific element, just because as the seed of the birth of the plane, there is no requirement for the size of the element.

What it requires are the various characteristics of the flow of elements.

Iolum's plan is more complicated than Xia Duo's own. The above is more complicated. The four elements designed by Xia Duo and the positive and negative energy transformation cycle are relatively simple. There are only two basic positive transformations, and more depends on the compositional position The torrent of elements at the root of the surface evolves on its own.

And this is also the main reason why the demiplane created by Xia Duo cannot last long.

Using the example on the earth to describe it, it is similar to spelling bases to create creatures. Only the first dozen pairs are made up, and the remaining billions are all up to chance. If you want to create a normal creature in this way, it is basically a dream .

Or, using natural selection to describe the process of the natural birth of planes, the planes that Xia Duo sees now are all successful, and he has not seen most of the failed ones. In fact, the failed ones account for the vast majority.

Naturally born demiplanes are considered the best of failures, those that barely succeed are those normal planes, and the most successful ones are of course large livable planes.

And even a naturally born demiplane is much more successful (perfect) than an artificially created demiplane!
The only advantage of the man-made demiplane is probably that it can actively choose the element phase of the plane, but unfortunately, the element phase is almost the least important attribute for a plane.

Although Iolum's creation blueprint is complicated, Xia Duo knows that it is still countless times simpler than those failed planes born naturally.

But even so, this kind of creation blueprint that is simpler than nature requires Xia Duo to spend countless energy to complete!
