First came the design of the mine shaft.
This large-scale mine shaft had to open up the mountain range and connect the mountain body, while at the same time constructing an Array Technique system with a rigorous structure and complete functions.
Which mountains to open, and how to connect them.
Which Array Techniques to construct, and how to lay them out.
All of these had to be considered.
Mo Hua first referred to the Topographical Maps of the Mine Mountains through the generations and studied the structures of several Mine Mountains, large and small, outside Nanyue City.
After that, he sought the opinions of several Elders from aristocratic families and sects.
Within these Elders' clans, or within their sects, there were also Mine Mountain businesses.
They had run related cultivation enterprises, guarded Mine Mountains, or participated in the construction of Mine Mountains.
When Mo Hua asked them, none of them kept anything back.
Partly, they wanted to seek some welfare for these impoverished Mine Cultivators; at the same time, they were also grateful to Mo Hua for the life-saving grace of suppressing the Corpse King and calming the corpse disaster.
After Mo Hua familiarized himself with the Mine Mountain structures, he spent several days drawing up a large-scale Array Technique draft.
Inside a mine shaft, there was no need for a Grand Array, nor was there any way to use one.
A Grand Array was vast and unified.
But the Array Techniques inside a mine shaft were fragmentary.
They needed to satisfy all kinds of functions, and had to be as simple, sturdy, and durable as possible. Even if they were damaged, they had to be easy to repair.
If they made a Grand Array, once it broke, after Mo Hua left, almost no one would be able to repair
