"Play? That won't be necessary, will it? I was hoping for something more sustainable..." Ronan wasn't used to the Martial Emperor's choice of words.
The Martial Emperor laughed again. "Did you really think I didn't know the cost of a Space-Time Silhouette? Whether it's a Space-Time Silhouette or the Logic Boundary, when all is said and done, the real resource consumption lies in the early-stage collection and calibration of all kinds of physical parameters. And you should be the one least in need of that sort of upfront expenditure.
"If it isn't meant to be maintained for long periods, then with your techniques in Space-Time Configuration, you could do it entirely on your own, setting it up whenever you needed it. Didn't you do a beautiful job with that one two days ago? I heard Qianju couldn't stop praising it either."
An investor who understood the field was just too troublesome.
Even as Ronan grumbled inwardly, he had to put on an innocent face. "The problem is that I really do need it maintained long-term right now. Otherwise, it won't be convenient for President Ouyang and the others to conduct in-depth research. And in that case, the requirements for the hosting equipment become extremely high... Also, I really am still in the stage of collecting and calibrating the initial physical parameters.
"Your Majesty knows this. The preliminary Space-Time Silhouette for the Inner Universe should reveal the whole jungle through a glimpse of one leaf. A simple node slice is nothing, of course, but I still have the larger background afterward to develop. The physical parameters could change at any time. Once they do, updating the front end will be a major hassle. If something goes wrong and it overloads or something, that's another expense.
"Besides, we can't just ignore the
