Earlier, while he was in the air, Lin Yuan had noticed that the height of this platform inside the inner wall seemed wrong.
Viewed from outside, the inner wall stood at least thirty meters tall.
But viewed from inside the platform, the inner wall was only about fifteen meters tall.
Clearly, beneath the platform was not sand, but a fifteen-meter gap above the sand.

"Also, the empty space underneath is just right for planting Secondary Trees of Life. That way, we don't have to worry about the grove of Trees of Life being left outside the fortress's protection, getting easily destroyed, and costing us our source of building materials."
"Finally, our fortress currently lacks sufficiently powerful antiair defenses. We made special modifications to the platform beneath the Fire Seed so it can retract beneath the main platform when necessary. That should ease some of the pressure on our air defenses."
"But once the Fire Seed is planted, not only can it not move horizontally, its vertical movement is also limited, so we didn't make this platform any higher."
