It was already the next day when they returned from the ceremony. After the ceremony for the completion of the great formation was over and all the reporters from other countries had been seen off, another project was also underway at the edge of the great formation, not far from where the ceremony was held, about several tens of kilometers away.
The grand formation has been completed, but its defensive effectiveness is still unclear. What they need to do is to test it using their existing firepower on top of the completed formation.
The large formation only reached the coast, so they loaded all the test firepower onto warships, pulled them out to sea, and quietly waited for the signal to begin the exercise, facing the direction of the large formation.
Not long after the completion ceremony of the grand formation was held, they received the order to begin testing its firepower.
The warships anchored at sea quickly began to move, pulling themselves to a distance of more than ten nautical miles from the shore. After aiming for a few seconds, the rockets on board rained down on the direction of the large formation.
Dozens of rockets flew toward the ground along their predetermined trajectories. When they were still some distance from the array, the array seemed to detect something. The light above the array began to condense, and the surrounding energy, like bands of light, converged toward the condensing point.
Before the rockets even got close, a fairly large magical light barrier condensed on the array, blocking the trajectory of the incoming rockets.
It sounds complicated, but the formation actually condenses very quickly. Before ordinary people can react, all the incoming rockets crash into the formation and explode in the air, creating a series of colorful explosions.
The array of weapons was indeed effective in intercepting rockets, and soon, the other weapons carried on the warships were also tested in turn.
Naval guns, missiles, and even poison gas bombs that simulate similar gases can be effectively intercepted.
The warship's testing lasted a long time, and basically all existing weapons, except for nuclear bombs, were tested. It could withstand almost all of them, except for some laser weapons and infrasound weapons. Although these weapons were weakened when passing through the array, their power could still affect the interior of the array.
Of course, these weapons are not very mature at this stage. They are fine for close-range attacks, but it would be difficult to strike targets across most of the Earth Star like missiles.
Overall, the defensive effect of this formation perfectly meets the needs of Divine Land, and the results of this test are also very satisfactory; it is more than sufficient to withstand attacks.
While the grand formation was undergoing further testing, Li Xingkong had returned home and begun studying spatial theories.
He didn't intend to thoroughly understand all the spatial theories before creating his own Space Bag; that would be a complete waste of time. Firstly, spatial knowledge is extremely complex, and anything slightly advanced is beyond his current capabilities. Secondly, learning and digesting the relevant theories also requires a significant amount of time; delving deeper into them would be comparable to going into seclusion.
With a general goal in mind, Li Xingkong's study of space became more targeted, and soon he obtained basic reading materials for space learning from the system.
Although it's called basic, this book contains so much theoretical material that it's arguably the most Li Xingkong has ever seen.
Even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation techniques pale in comparison to it.
Fortunately, although there was a lot of stuff, Li Xingkong didn't need to read it all; he only needed to read the parts related to the Space Bag.
The very beginning of this book is very interesting regarding space.
It raises the question: how should the scale of change in civilizations be?
When practicing the Sun and Moon Qi Refining Method, have you ever considered that since your body is covered with Magic Power structures, the amount of sunlight you can absorb is limited? Could you create a large array to absorb light energy over a wide area and convert it into your own Magic Power?
Similarly, as a country develops its strength and continuously builds in all aspects, its land will eventually be exhausted and its energy resources will become insufficient. At this point, if the country wants to continue to develop, it needs to expand outwards. As the expansion grows larger, the scale of its civilization also grows larger.
Before encountering knowledge about space, for a civilization to develop, it could only do so by maximizing its scale, expanding its territory, building more logistics, and maintaining a larger army. Only in this way could a civilization ensure its orderly development.
But everything changed after they came into contact with the realm of space.
No matter how vast a territory is, only a few places are truly valuable. Large swaths of undeveloped land have very limited significance for a civilization, and occupying such places only consumes a great deal of human and material resources to maintain its stability.
Therefore, after mastering spatial knowledge, the scale of civilizations tends to shrink.
Normal civilization development generally follows this path: first a planet, then a galaxy, and finally several galaxies, or even a range spanning several light-years, all claiming their own name, and then expanding with a large fleet to maintain stability within their territory, resembling an StarCraft empire.
Only after coming into contact with space do we realize that none of this is really necessary. In the endless starry sky, all that is needed is to control a few planets. The emptiness of outer space is not really worth conquering.
The opening up of vast spaces gave them a new direction for development, and this direction was much more convenient, allowing them to acquire almost endless territory without leaving their homes.
However, considering Li Xingkong's current stage of cultivation, it's still too early to discuss these issues, as he hasn't encountered such problems yet.
Having read the prologue, Li Xingkong quickly jumped to the section on the preparation of the Space Bag.
Li Xingkong soon discovered that there were three methods for preparing the Space Bag.
One type is simple and easy to learn; the second type is more difficult, which Li Xingkong cannot do yet; and the third type involves the conceptual level, which is even more beyond Li Xingkong's current control.
The first type of Space Bag is relatively simple to Dharma Aspect. It doesn't require Li Xingkong to learn how to create his own space; instead, it directly utilizes existing space. The Space Bag simply acts as a portal.
It's like he found a remote, secluded place, like the moon, and manually built a warehouse there, then set up relevant Spatial Beacon within it, connecting these beacons to the refined Space Bag.
Each time he uses the Space Bag, he is actually teleporting himself to his own warehouse to retrieve items.
The method is indeed a shortcut, simple and quick, but the only problem is that if the warehouse is left unattended, it's not impossible for it to be stolen someday.
Furthermore, if someone knows your Spatial Beacon or the location of your warehouse, they can teleport directly to your warehouse.
Regardless, as the simplest version of Space Bag, it does indeed have storage functionality. Furthermore, it has an advantage: its size depends on how large a warehouse you can acquire. If you're powerful enough, using an entire planet as your storage point isn't a problem.
