Exploration Quest Activated? (@Michelle of the Western Dome Mountains-Great God Certified)
[Nameless Blade Lord] was puzzled, but still fell into deep thought, wondering if he hadn't worked hard enough.
It seems that he has been playing in [Dream Princess]'s [Dream World] for too long and has become corrupted, with even the most basic self-improvement becoming an obstacle for him.
Su Luo then glanced at her own Talent.
The Essence why it is difficult to have both is that the higher the level that a strong person reaches, the more explosively the knowledge branches and theoretical difficulties they need to master will increase.
The allocation of time and energy cannot keep up with the exponential growth.
The Master of Confusion has been exploring for thousands of years, but in this world he is merely one of the theoretical representatives of one of the seven schools of [Enchantment]. His own strength improvement is a mess, and even the basic research on Silk Mana has taken up a lot of time.
Why?
Because the amount and difficulty of the knowledge have truly reached a terrifying level.
If you take a scrap of a random Tenth Ring Spell and unfold it completely, the Spell model it contains is something an ordinary person could never remember in a lifetime; the amount of information exceeds the physiological limit.
It's good that the strong can simplify and learn to apply it, and some even have enough talent to Optimization and innovate, which is even more powerful. Basic scientific research is a completely different matter.
You can't expect every researcher to use their research findings to intimidate others; research results and combat effectiveness are two different things.
Su Luo's [Learning Gains] enabled him to do it, and do it even better, creating new knowledge.
But can simply increasing knowledge and research speed through Learning Gains make one a strong individual?
Can one become a true powerhouse?
Can someone who only knows how to study, or who only relies on their Talent for a profession, be called a "Scholar"?
"[Source Theory] Ah..."
After a long while, Su Luo sighed softly, and the number of people lost in thought in this place increased from two to three.
Finally, it was Contemplative Pivot Scholar broke the silence.
"Your Majesty, if I may inquire, you possess data on Primordial Mana, which means you have been in contact with Primordial Mana for a long time. Why then do you not use Primordial Mana? The potential Origin Primordial Mana far surpasses that of Silk Mana. If it were utilized, both combat strength and scientific research would be further enhanced."
Just as Su Luo was about to say that she wanted to use it too, she suddenly turned her head and looked into the depths of the [Soren Xingjia].
There, an inconspicuous stone was slowly cracking, with dark fissures Spread outwards.
[Mao Stone]!
The unknown emerges from the unknown in the unknown way.
Darkness surged in the shadows, and something that would devour souls emerged from the [Mao Stone].
The Contemplative Pivot Scholar and the Nameless Blade Lord looked over and immediately sensed a terrifying sense of decay spreading through an unknown means.
Su Luo was no exception, but then the system's notification surprised him even more:
[Exploration Quest activated]
[Mission Objective: Direction indicated, explore for possible remnants of ancient structures]
Explore, Exploration Quest?
Exploration Quests to obtain Purple Skills? Within Large Dungeons?
Su Luo is about to start learning the next level of skills, so why are there still Exploration Quests?
"Contemplative Pivot Scholar, I think our conversation needs to come to an end. I need to take care of something."
The endless Fire Domain closed in, repelling the two from the [Soren Xingjia] without a word.
Contemplative Pivot Scholar was somewhat surprised, but didn't say much, while Nameless Blade Lord frowned.
He also came here on another mission: to discuss the relationship between extraterrestrials and this world.
Recently, countless extraterrestrial visitors have descended upon the world out of nowhere, bringing with them a massive amount of complex and often misleading information from beyond our borders, disrupting the power structure of various factions.
As one of the entities behind the [Seven-Nation Federation], the Nameless Blade Lord believes that the [Scholar], who is currently the strongest and most influential person among the extraterrestrials, has the ability to speak for himself within the extraterrestrial community. He has come here to discuss this matter one last time.
After all, extraterrestrials can quickly reach the Twelfth Ring in this world, and some powerful individuals even suspect that they can eventually reach the Thirteenth Ring or more. Moreover, they act erratically and strangely, completely disrupting the world Order.
Without restraint and control, the extraordinary resources and extraterrestrial technologies originating from the new extraterrestrial civilization will ultimately become a deadly Bomb that detonates across the entire continent.
Some extraterrestrials even said that this world wouldn't last more than ten days.
That's just the talk of a eunuch—utter nonsense.
Having observed that there was no imported Dark Domain, the Nameless Blade Lord naturally wouldn't attempt to use the Spatial Leap technology provided by the [Scholar] to jump to the [Scholar's ] hometown, so he waited.
Fortunately, less than half an hour later, a Xiao Xiao Luo and invited the Contemplative Pivot Scholar to visit the soon-to-be-built [Particle Collider]. The Nameless Blade Lord, as the nominal guard, was also allowed to take a look.
"A concentric ring-shaped acceleration track runs through the entire megastructure, and its overall size is more than a thousand times larger than the largest existing Floating City. How could such a precise and complex mega-project be completed in just three days?" The Nameless Blade Lord couldn't help but be shocked.
Contemplative Pivot Scholar's gaze was firmly Lock-On the core ring at the very center of the megastructure—even though it was the smallest core component in the entire megastructure, its size and precision surpassed all the Floating Cities on the continent, and he was completely shocked.
He had no doubt whatsoever that this Particle Collider alone was enough to completely shatter all the current constraints of the silk Mana system and lead the entire continent's Mana research into a new era.
The Nameless Blade Lord inquired about the amount of Radiant Crystals currently being consumed by this colossal structure, and was somewhat taken aback.
The Laboratory that Contemplative Pivot Scholar didn't build back then only consumed less than one billion Radiant Crystals.
After thinking for a while, the Nameless Blade Lord decided to pick up the Laboratory project that the Quiet Contemplative Pivot Scholar had abandoned.
If the second set of fundamental academic hypotheses previously released by the Scholars are all true, then this Particle Collider has truly ushered in a new era of microscopic Mana.
Therefore, the study of the microscopic nature of Mana will inevitably become the mainstream of scientific research for the Future ten thousand years. Those who are the first to master the relevant experimental technologies will be able to further advance their own cultivation and the development of their power.
Looking across the world, there is no project that fits this development path better than the abandoned project of Contemplative Pivot Scholar.
"I remember that you spent a total of 800 million Radiant Crystals and nearly a thousand years building the Laboratory. Now I am personally allocating 80 billion Radiant Crystals to you in one go, with the rare materials and craftsmen fully covered by the Seven-Nation Federation. Can you shorten the construction period and complete the reconstruction within ten years?" The Nameless Blade Lord looked at the Contemplative Pivot Scholar beside him and asked seriously.
This sum of money is a significant financial blow to a powerful figure like him who treats the world's wealth as his private property; it's not something he can come up with overnight and requires the assistance of the national treasury.
Contemplative Pivot Scholar smiled and slowly turned his head:
"Ten people could give you a good 'grass mud horse' and you'd be born in a month."
