Chapter 577 The Secret Between the Earth and the Stars

According to the original plan, the starship built by Byrne would be built on the original layer observation platform.

The Tower of Stars seems to have encountered some difficulties in the development of the platform. The preliminary experimental data sent by the Cavendish team deviates from the records in ancient books.

Rorschach could see the original layer whenever he wanted, so he was naturally indifferent to it. It was better to say that it was just right that he couldn't catch the train there, so he could use other payloads in this mission.

For example, the laminar tearing device he envisioned.

Compared to the ladder ring steps which are completely designed and manufactured by others, the tearing device will be developed by him personally.

The place for research is not the workshop, but the border.

There is a lot of information about the Transmutation Dust Layer in the memories of ancient sages, so the tower spirit who inherited the memories can serve as an advisor to Rorschach and assist him in his design.

"If I trigger a transmutation dust explosion, let it release energy, and then guide this energy to collide with other dust, can I create a gap?"

"Yes, according to the knowledge I have, your idea is feasible. But I need to remind you that there is also a risk: this energy will cause a chain reaction, and the exploding transmutation dust will ignite the dust around it, and the chain will continue almost infinitely until other accidents or disturbances occur.

"During the transition period between the old and new empires, there were months when almost half of the sky seemed to be burning, and the people of the north were shrouded in a constantly changing but always bright sky.

"This is a suspected chain reaction event, the cause and end of which are unknown. I urge you not to become the first known perpetrator of a large chain outbreak."

It's not impossible, just watch me burn it all in one go. Forget it, it's such a pity. Rorschach was only tempted for a moment. This behavior of blowing up a toilet is similar to lighting an oil well, and it's a shame to waste energy.

Then let's continue with the existing idea and change the direction of the transmutation dust.

The old man had another opinion: "No matter how much we strengthen the current vortex, we can only weaken its thickness. It is impossible to poke a hole in it."

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you say we should do?"

The old man raised his gray eyebrows and said, "I'm just a tower spirit, how would I know?"

"Believe it or not, I will initialize you."

"My questions and answers are all based on the memories of ancient sages. Even if you initialize me, the answers you get and my attitude, tone, and demeanor will not change."

“.” God is annoying!
Rorschach reconsidered plan one: "Laminar flow, laminar flow. If I adopt plan one but don't let the energy spill out, can't I avoid the risk of a chain reaction?"

"Yes, you can." Ta Ling nodded: "Of course, this is just a guess based on existing experience and intelligence. This Ta Ling will not be responsible for any consequences you cause.
"It's worth noting that you have to consume a huge amount of transmutation dust, and you also have to find a way to properly absorb and process the energy they release, which is almost impossible."

Rorschach, too lazy to pay attention to it, started to think about it himself. Here he didn't need to draw any blueprints, but could instead create a three-dimensional model.

The border was already filled with mutated dust, which began to swirl in his hands and then dissipated into the model. Find a high-energy magic array? Or find a place to store them?
After thinking for a long time, Rorschach still had no clue.

He was in a spirit state now, and he didn't feel any physical fatigue, but his mood still changed. Feeling irritated, he disbanded the model and started walking.

Nothing has changed here, except that the Tree of Law is still growing.

As the tree trunk grew thicker and thicker, Rorschach held on to it with great satisfaction.

Ok?
Rorschach looked around, re-examining the border. This place and the things contained in this space were both real and illusory symbols, somewhere in between. For example, the soul.

There are only two things that can remain in their original form here: energy and information. "Can this place absorb the energy released by the transmutation dust?"

"If you want, the Tree of Law can absorb magic and divine power like ordinary trees absorb water. But this is meaningless. It is already powerful enough. There are a certain number of spellcasters pulling it and contributing to it every moment."

"No, no, no, it's not a question of whether it's necessary or not. It's settled."

The wise-looking tower spirit hesitated and said, "Your decision may lead to some consequences. We still know very little about the great Tree of Truth, just like the truth itself."

"Will it be dangerous? Do you know the consequences?"

"Probably not. If there is really something wrong with this tree, injecting new energy will only expose it in advance. As for the specific consequences, I don't have the relevant memories to retrieve."

Rorschach didn't care: "That's fine. If you don't try, how can you know the result? Isn't truth something that is discovered through exploration?"

He had thought about analyzing the Tree of Law, but the virtual analyzer and tower spirit based on it could not analyze it itself; and Rorschach also found it difficult to conduct research - he could not destroy it at the border, nor could he make it leave here and enter reality, just like the other one that could only stay high up in the original layer.

If new changes can be caused, perhaps more useful information can be obtained. For a black box system, inputting new variables, studying the results, and establishing the relationship between the variables and the dependent variables is also a means of analysis.

"Watering and fertilizing" is an interesting new variable. After hearing what Talling said, Rorschach really wanted to see whether the Tree of Law would "bloom" or "bear fruit."

Next he would experiment to see what would happen if he continued to input energy into the boundary area.

In fact, as the Tree of Law gradually matured and flourished, this space was also changing, from the earliest vesicle with gray nothingness inside to the current "other world". The dome and the canopy became higher and the area became larger. Rorschach was basically certain that it was absorbing the fragments of the Kingdom of God to strengthen itself.

Actually, he picked it up because he thought no one wanted it. He thought it was similar to the secondary plane, which was a vesicle torn from the main plane, or a naturally generated space.

From what we see now, its origin may be as special as the Tree of Dharma.

"What would happen if the transmutation dust outside the boundary of the junction disappeared, leaving it directly exposed to the edge of the Astral Plane and the Prime Material Plane?" Rorschach murmured.

The tower spirit immediately replied: "I suggest you don't do this. At present, it must have the refraction of transmutation dust to communicate with the real world, otherwise it will regress to the symbolic world.

"If regression does occur, all users of your spell cloud will be disconnected. In short, the consequences will be catastrophic."

"Is that so?" Rorschach nodded slowly, and suddenly walked towards the concrete "library". As he walked, he looked at the shadows of the tower spirit and the old man who were accompanying him: "How did you know?"

".Generated based on the memory and knowledge retrieved"

"Did the ancient sages know about this place?" Rorschach had already walked into the "library". The spells and spell strings stored here now filled the bookcases in the main hall, but his target was not these, but the storage room deep inside that belonged to the memories of the ancient sages.

The tower spirit was silent for a long time, which showed that there was an answer to Rorschach's question, but it couldn't say it.

There are many prohibitions in the memories of ancient sages, and the materialized books also appear to be blocked.

When Rorschach picked up a sealed memory book, Talling finally responded with difficulty: "You will know, but not now. You need my permission."

"He's dead, and his shadow has disappeared. Where do I need permission to go?"

Taring paused for a few minutes and said slowly: "Life and existence have limited meaning to him."
