"Eh?"
Ronan froze for a moment. On one hand, he was operating the projection display and was somewhat distracted; on the other—and more importantly—he did not understand why Ouyang Chen was asking that question. Besides, Ouyang Chen bringing him to the Thirteenth Floor today had felt strange from the start.
Questions coiled in Ronan's mind. Before one could fade, another piled on top of it.
Since he did not understand, he could only address the matter itself: purely in terms of evaluating the Spirit Wave Network's design...
"Of course it's incredibly beautiful."
Ronan had just switched the interface to the Database, which displayed basic information on every node established since the Spirit Wave Network first appeared: the dates, locations, supporting Power Stations, and so on.
His gaze settled on a point near the end of 88 Year, then drifted away, skimming over lines of data like fleeting light.
He sighed unconsciously.
The monotonous, dull data was merely a work record. It was far from enough to demonstrate the value of this grand and wondrous project.
The more Ronan's knowledge and experience grew, the more keenly he sensed how breathtaking the design philosophy of this network of Extraordinary Power, built over Xia City and hovering between the tangible and intangible, truly was—and how exquisite, reliable, and efficient its actual engineering was...
Well, of course, the attribute of "reliability" was sometimes open to debate. The "self-protection" triggered by overloads was a little too frequent.
But for now, the Spirit Wave Network was becoming more sensitive. Spirit waves stimulated at nodes throughout Xia City traveled back and forth through the air.
Most of the time, they were simply ordinary electromagnetic waves. Yet when needed, after conversion through only one or two intermediate nodes, they interacted with the unconsciously gathered Mental Ocean, forming a
