Chapter 481 5 meters
Chapter 481 Five Thousand Meters
As the research on the return tower enters a new stage, the distribution range of the small towers will be further expanded, and the area occupied will become increasingly larger.
In the independent area, things are as busy as ever.
After another twenty days, the initial expansion of the new return tower was completed.
It’s no wonder that Ivan and his team expanded so quickly. They expanded according to the original framework and previous experience. The fundamental logic involved is the same, and only the content was expanded.
Follow the same method and make minor adjustments.
"Boss, do you want me to be the first to take the test?" Locke asked tentatively, his face clearly filled with stupidity and desire.
"Get out of the way. I'll call you if I need you." Ivan glared at him.
"Okay, I'll take Morris with me right away." Locke smiled awkwardly and left quickly.
When the transmission distance reached four kilometers, he was the first one to test it, and in the end he only suffered minor injuries. Ivan knew what was going on at that time.
Five thousand meters is different, but Ivan also knows it in his mind. He can feel the unusualness hidden in the formation. Not to mention other things, the space network alone has become more active than before.
This is a sign of chaos to come.
"Master, let me send someone up, please?" It was Nelson who spoke.
"Okay, thank you for your help." Ivan chose to agree this time.
"You're very polite." Nelson replied quickly.
He was not complimenting Ivan, but as an experienced old wizard, he understood that many times it was necessary to distinguish between superiors and subordinates, even if it was just a trivial matter, in order to express his attitude on this occasion.
This point is more important.
Then he sent out a strange-looking bird.
The multi-headed bird has two pairs of wings and two heads. Each head has three pairs of eyes. Its body is covered with a layer of blue chip-like feathers. However, its body is not big, only slightly larger than a normal adult.
A wizard stepped forward and stuffed a return-to-city token into the mouth of a bird floating in the air.
"on!"
A crystal ball was floating in front of Nelson, and the image inside the crystal ball was clearly visible. What the image reflected was exactly what the two-headed bird saw and the situation around it.
There is no doubt that this is an experimental subject specially bred by Nelson in response to the request to return to the city for research, and it is named "Multi-Headed Split Bird".
Hearing Nelson's order, the multi-headed birds activated the return tokens in their mouths and were immediately wrapped in a protective shield.
The protective shield rose a short distance and disappeared in the air ripples in an instant. It seemed to have disappeared, but in fact it had escaped into a temporary space channel and then turned into a fixed main transmission trunk road.
In just a moment, the picture in the crystal ball was dyed red with blood. The problem was between the temporary passage and the main road.
The test did not stop, and the blood color in the crystal ball quickly became thicker until it became nothing.
"The transmission was not even halfway done and many of the split birds were already reduced to dust." Nelson said with regret.
"The situation at 5,000 meters is indeed different, and there are quite a few problems." Ivan agreed in a deep voice.
In the test just now, he saw the situation very clearly. Problems occurred at the channel intersection, 5,000 meters, 4,000 meters, and 3,000 meters. They were big and small, all demonstrating the diversity of space changes.
That is to say, the multi-headed splitting birds can quickly fission after being injured and have strong survivability. Otherwise, they would not be able to last for a thousand meters, let alone half of the distance.
"Again?"
"Come a few more times, record the problems, and sort them out together after summarizing them."
Whether it was Ivan, Nelson, or other wizards, they all expected this scene.
When problems arise, we naturally have to find ways to solve them. The first step is to find all the problems, trace their root causes, and then improve the return tower step by step until the problems disappear.
No one in the group found it troublesome.
As time went by, it took more and more time to improve it. It took a full month, which exceeded the time for the expansion of the return tower. God will not let down those who work hard, and many problems have been solved one by one.
"Locke, it's your turn."
"okay."
Hearing Ivan's call, Locke's expression suddenly brightened up. It was finally his turn to take the stage.
He did not forget to greet Morris who was standing next to him. "Morris."
"what?"
"You wait here, don't worry, I will be back after I finish my important work."
Hearing this, Morris's face darkened. He knew that he was being despised by someone.
But he had no choice. To be honest, his role in this research was indeed not very big. Locke was Ivan's clone, and no one could replace him. Locke was destined to play a role at the critical moment, and his contribution could not be ignored.
Without waiting for his reply, Locke took a few steps and approached the city tower.
Locke grabbed the return token, flashed to the designated location, and started the test directly.
Ivan stood quietly by and watched Locke disappear into the air.
In an instant, the expression on Ivan's face changed slightly.
"has a problem?"
"Not small."
Ivan answered the person nearby casually and hurried towards the central tower. When he entered the central tower, he saw Locke, whose face was abnormally pale.
Locke was obviously badly injured.
Locke was his clone, and as soon as the two got close, he immediately knew what Locke had just experienced.
"Boss, I did a good job, didn't I?"
"You are quite courageous."
Seeing Locke's smiling face, Ivan didn't know whether to praise him or scold him. In the end, he just glared at this audacious guy.
There is actually no problem with the transmission process.
But Locke, relying on his keen sense of space, sensed that there were hidden dangers inside, and he simply exposed them, which led to the crisis and injured himself.
He was an elemental creature, that's why he didn't end up covered in blood.
Seeing that the wizard who followed was confused, Ivan quickly asked Locke to go down to heal his wounds, and he briefly described the situation inside. At present, the return tower seems to have been improved, but in fact it contains some unsolved problems.
Whether a hidden problem will break out is a matter of probability.
Once it breaks out, it will be a matter of life and death.
What's more, the distance now is only five kilometers, and there are still six kilometers and seven kilometers to go. If the problem at five kilometers is not solved, it may become a big problem at six kilometers, and even worse at seven kilometers.
They have to be careful.
"Once Locke has finished repairing, we will have to conduct a series of tests."
"I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Locke."
No one else had any objection to Ivan's arrangement.
Whether or not one can detect the existence of hidden dangers requires sufficient spatial sensitivity, which involves the spatial affinity possessed by the living being itself, which other experimental subjects do not have.
Over the next few days, the test was repeated again and again.
They discovered that there were more hidden dangers than they had imagined, and each time they were different, in different locations, sizes, and methods, and they could hurt Locke every time.
But Locke never tires of it.
"I'm done."
Looking at this scene, Morris, who had originally been somewhat critical of him, is now completely convinced.
It is because Locke's contribution is so great that no one can replace his role.
With Locke's full assistance, Ivan quickly realized the problem and decided to tear down this part of the expansion content and start over.
He will try to establish a new small framework under the overall framework to break the 5,000-meter barrier and provide the necessary template for future changes in difficulty.
