The intelligence previously provided by the frontline troops had always said that the restriction over there produced a howling sandstorm, so Zhou Xu had inevitably formed a preconceived notion.
Under that premise, it was perfectly normal for a restriction to possess the effects of absorbing and converting energy.
If it didn't absorb and convert energy, how could you make a restriction operate there semi-permanently?
So he hadn't thought in that direction at all back then. What was more, the other party had clearly modified that restriction, which amounted to private, illegal alterations.
To put it plainly, his priority at the time had been breaking the restriction, while also completing a copy-and-paste of it.
By replicating the exact same procedures, he could reproduce the restriction, but that didn't mean he had a deep understanding of it.
For matters involving details like these, unless one conducted testing over a long period, it was difficult for an outsider to see through everything at once.
Only after obtaining the restriction of the 'Place of Rest' and conducting comparative research did he finally realize it.
At the same time, this matter served as a reminder to him.
Now that the Undead's 'provisions' problem had been solved, couldn't he simply station Undead troops in the desert? That way, they wouldn't be restricted by the locations of oases and could deploy anywhere in the desert.
Compared to other troops, the Undead troops didn't need granary supplies in the desert. They could even be said to need nothing at all once the 'Place of Rest' had been deployed for them. Their operating cost would be lower, too.
[I'll arrange that later. Before then, I should get the internal 'Place of Rest' situation settled first.]
Originally, he could have handed this matter to Balem and Gege Wu. It wasn't
