In a secret vault of the Moi Cult, Ye Zan discovered a scaled-down version of the teleportation circle. Although to him, the teleportation circle is not a rare thing. However, this teleportation circle, which was only the size of a washbasin, was enough to arouse his curiosity.
You know, although the teleportation array is very magical, the size of the objects being teleported will still be affected by the size of the array. To put it bluntly, the entire array cannot hold you, so how can it be possible to wrap you in the array for teleportation
Until now, the teleportation arrays that Ye Zan has seen can be said to be conventional teleportation arrays, and basically they can allow several people to enter and teleport together. A giant thing like Ye Zan's War Fortress cannot use these conventional teleportation circles at all. Unless the conventional teleportation array is expanded thousands of times to fully accommodate the war fortress. But in that case, not to mention the cost of construction, the amount of spiritual stones consumed by the teleportation circle alone would definitely be an astronomical figure.
But now, the teleportation circle in front of Ye Zan can be regarded as a teleportation circle for the time being. This teleportation array is only the size of a washbasin, and its sixteen pillars have been reduced to four, and they are all like rolling pins. Such a teleportation circle cannot be used normally by children, let alone normal adults.
Therefore, this small teleportation circle is more like a miniature model of the teleportation circle than a teleportation circle.
However, Ye Zan did not believe that this reduced version of the teleportation circle would be an ordinary model. If it is just a model, no matter how lifelike it is, it will be meaningless to the ascetics. Even though this secret vault is used to store "useless things", it does not include models.
Facing Ye Zan's inquiry, the expression on Elder Yu's face also proved Ye Zan's conjecture. He said with a lot of helplessness: "To be honest, fellow Taoist, don't look at the small size of this teleportation circle. In fact, But it is also a genuine teleportation circle. This is a teleportation circle that a senior I taught made by himself based on the inheritance of the teleportation circle. It is specially used to transport items. "
"It's actually a teleportation circle, and it can also teleport items!" Upon hearing this, Ye Zan's interest in this small teleportation circle suddenly increased.
You know, in the technological world, although the transmission of information is very advanced, the freight logistics has never changed. The so-called instant transmission of items through the Internet combined with 3D printing technology is actually just selling dog meat with a sheep's head. Moreover, 3D printing does not play any practical role in the transportation of large quantities of goods.
It is precisely because of this, because large quantities of goods require interstellar transportation, that so many interstellar pirate groups are "supported". It is also because of this that the different-dimensional space storage technology developed by Ye Zan is called an "epoch-making invention."
Using the different-dimensional space storage technology, you only need to store the goods in the different-dimensional space, and then send the "key" to the destination, and then you can take out the goods at the destination. This method of transportation can be said to reduce the risk of long-distance transportation to a level infinitely close to zero. After all, the "key" only needs one person to carry it, and one person is a much smaller target than a cargo ship.
However, this method of transportation can only be regarded as hiding the goods, which is completely different from long-distance instant transmission.
In this world, although information transmission is lagging behind, the transmission of people and items has already existed. However, after the collapse of heaven and earth, some inheritances were more or less lost, which resulted in the teleportation technology being almost lost. This is why, when Ye Zan first arrived in this world, he had hardly heard about the teleportation circle.
Of course, in addition to the conventional teleportation circle that can teleport living creatures such as people, it can also be used to teleport items. However, the conventional teleportation circle is difficult to move once it is put down, and the teleportation items can at best be regarded as "express pick-up points". In addition, the "cost" of conventional teleportation arrays is high, and it is almost impossible to tell who can own it alone.
Not to mention anything else, even if you have a teleportation circle by yourself, the spiritual stones consumed for each teleportation will probably be a huge burden.
In addition, due to the "cost" problem of conventional teleportation arrays, even in the ancient times before the world collapsed, the distribution of teleportation arrays was not very dense. After all, for the ascetics, the teleportation circle is more of a "long-distance transportation" tool. If the distance you need to walk is not very far, instead of consuming spiritual stones to teleport, you might as well fly there directly.
Ye Zan once thought about whether there was any way to move the teleportation circle or even carry it with him. However, he didn't know much about teleportation circles, so he still relied on trickery to win those teleportation circles. It wasn't until he got the inheritance of the teleportation circle from the Mayi Cult from Ye Ping'an that he had the capital to realize his idea.
However, before Ye Zan had time to study the inheritance of the teleportation circle, he unexpectedly encountered such a reduced teleportation circle here. The senior of the Moi Sect probably had similar ideas to him, so he researched and refined such a teleportation circle.
Ye Zan picked up the pocket version of the teleportation array, looked at it carefully, and praised: "It can be made so small, which shows that the senior of your sect has a deep understanding of the inheritance of the teleportation array."
You know, for many things, it doesn’t mean that if you scale it down, it will still retain its original function. Especially in this world, many things do not rely on machinery to operate. If they are enlarged, they are big clocks, and if they are shrunk, they are small watches. Things in this world, such as the teleportation array, not only involve the array, but also use the power of the avenue to achieve long-distance transmission.
Therefore, those who are able to refine this pocket version of the teleportation array, their understanding of the teleportation array is not limited to the "form", but has truly penetrated into the realm of "meaning". It can be said that although the opponent's refining of this pocket version of the teleportation circle was based on the principles of the original teleportation circle, there must have been a lot of innovations of his own in it.
However, upon hearing Ye Zan's praise, the look of helplessness on Elder Yu's face was obviously a little darker, and he said: "Fellow Taoist Wuji, although this teleportation circle can teleport items, the actual effect of its use is still unknown to you. Don’t have high expectations. If it wasn’t for this, how could I have left it here?”
Indeed, as mentioned before, the secret warehouse where Ye Zan was brought was actually the place where the Moi Cult stored "useless things". Although the things here cannot be considered real garbage, their actual use value is by no means high.
Therefore, since this pocket teleportation circle will be thrown here by the Moi Cult, it will definitely not be as perfect as Ye Zan thought.
"Oh, I don't know much about the teleportation circle, but I don't see anything wrong with it. If Elder Yu doesn't mind, can you clear up my doubts?" Ye Zan held the teleportation circle and asked curiously. Elder Yu asked for advice.
Elder Yu reached out to take the teleportation circle, held it in his palm, looked at it, and said: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, the senior's original intention of refining this teleportation circle was actually to make it easier to transport things. After all, it is indeed troublesome to have someone travel hundreds of millions of miles just to deliver something. It's just a pity that the teleportation circle may have some flaws in its design. One is that the teleported items are easy to lose, and the other is. One is that it can only be used a limited number of times.”
Elder Yu did not show off, and told Ye Zan clearly about the teleportation circle in a few words. After all, the Moyi Sect is about to form an alliance with the Yuqing Sect, so they can't pretend to be ignorant and use defective products to deceive people. What's more, there are many things in this secret vault, and it's not necessary to use these things to repay Ye Zan's gift.
When Ye Zan heard this explanation, he frowned slightly and said, "It's easy to lose things, and there is a limit on the number of times. This is indeed a problem."
Since it is specially used to transport items, losing items is a serious problem. If you only give away some worthless things, then you don't have to worry too much if they are lost. But the problem is, since the teleportation circle is used to send things, the value of the things will definitely not be much different. Just like, there is definitely no need to use SF Express for something that costs 9.9 yuan with free shipping. The value of the thing is not enough for the express fee.
Then, in addition to being easy to lose things, this teleportation circle also has a limit on the number of times it can be used. In other words, if you use it to deliver things several times, half of them may be lost. As a result, before you can settle the score with it, it has already refused to serve you. Damn it, no wonder such a domineering express delivery was thrown into the "garbage dump".
However, even though this thing has serious problems, Ye Zan's interest in it has not diminished.
You know, Ye Zan has already received the inheritance about the teleportation circle from Ye Ping'an. Therefore, after he studies those things thoroughly, it might be possible to repair the flaws of the teleportation circle. If he really perfected this pocket teleportation circle, he might be able to build a logistics industry in this world based on it.
Of course, the Moyi Cult has the inheritance of the teleportation circle, but it has not been able to perfect this thing, which shows that this is not an easy task. However, in Ye Zan's opinion, the bigger reason why Moi Cult did not do it is that they did not really pay attention to its usefulness.
This is actually not surprising. After all, from the perspective of Moi Cult, this kind of thing that is specially used to transport items is indeed not of much use. Anyway, before there was this thing, everyone would transport things in person or through someone else, and life would just go by like this.
It's like, before Qianli Transmission, no one felt the need to change the way of communication. In fact, many of the current applications on communication networks were born after the communication network was established. It’s not that people were so hungry and thirsty in the past, but they were suddenly released with the communication network.
Therefore, to a certain extent, communication networks actually make people dependent, rather than solving people's original needs.
For example, communication was not convenient in the past. Everyone communicated by letter, and it took a long time to get back and forth. But at that time, people often wrote down everything that happened to them over a long period of time in a letter.
With the advent of communication networks, people have broken down a letter that may have taken half a year to write into every day or even every minute. As a result, everyone was chatting in real time, talking about what happened every moment, as if writing letters was so primitive before.
And another problem is that when I wrote letters in the past, I didn’t mention many irrelevant things. After all, the capacity of letter paper is limited, and people’s experiences cannot be that rich. However, with the advent of communication networks, people began to talk about everything, and they could talk about trivial things for a long time.
The same goes for item transfer. When there is no item transfer, people may not have so many things to send. Only when item delivery becomes popular and truly becomes a part of people's lives, people may feel as if they can't live without it. I had something that I could have given or not, but out of convenience I sent it directly. It doesn’t take much trouble anyway.
On the Mayi side, although some people have developed this kind of pocket teleportation circle, it has not been widely popularized due to various problems. This makes the people of the Moi religion still maintain their original habits, and naturally they don't pay much attention to this thing. Maybe in their opinion, there aren't that many things and they have to deliver them to others without delay. If they really need to deliver them, just deliver them in person.
However, unlike the people of the Moi religion, Ye Zan is not from this world, and his habits are still influenced by the technological world. Although there is no item delivery technology in the technological world, express delivery on the planet is already very convenient. Although Ye Zan himself does not rely much on express delivery, he knows how much impact this thing has on people's lives because of his experience.
Ye Zan thought for a moment and said to Elder Yu: "Well, in that case, then I will choose this thing."
Elder Yu told Ye Zan about the teleportation circle, thinking that Ye Zan was no longer interested in this thing, and was about to put the teleportation circle back to its original place. Hearing Ye Zan's sudden words, he thought there was something wrong with his ears, and asked in confusion: "What did fellow Taoist say?"
"I mean, if your teacher doesn't mind, I will choose this thing first." Ye Zan repeated the words, but in order to confirm the other party's attitude, he still added an extra test.
After all, this thing is also a teleportation array, which involves the inheritance of the teleportation array mastered by the Moyi Sect. If the other party is worried that the inheritance will be taken away by others, they may be unwilling to give this thing to Ye Zan.
However, Ye Zan was worried in vain. After hearing this, Elder Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Of course we don't mind."
