Old Wim was under the thatched pavilion, preparing to go up.
As a result, Simon was lying in his retirement position, which startled old Wim and quickly retracted, preparing to disappear through the tall grass.
"Old Wim, you want to come here and be lazy again."
Simon said as he opened one eye.
Old Wim was shocked all over, turned around, slapped his old waist with his hand, came over and said, "Oh, my waist is old and I can't bear it..."
"How's your progress today?"
"Well, I feel good. If I give it a few more days, I will be able to understand the magic pattern language of the teleportation array." Old Wim stretched out three fingers and said confidently.
While talking, Old Wim was familiar with the road and sat down against the pillar of the pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze.
Simon didn't say anything, just asked, then closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Old Wim also felt relieved.
After Simon came back, his aura was different. He was a man who had seen the world.
Seeing Simon asking about the progress, Old Wim subconsciously felt guilty.
Fortunately, Simon is not a sweatshop owner with a zero-to-seven working day. He has no intention of forcing Old Wim to go back to work, he is just interfering with the progress.
It's equivalent to giving it a beating to see if you can get by.
After Old Wim calmed down, he also began to review in his mind the reasons for the failure in carving the lines of the teleportation array today.
Maybe it's because the environment is too comfortable, or maybe it's because I've been thinking about it for several days, and a bunch of ideas have accumulated in my mind that need to be verified.
After Lao Wim summed up his experience and straightened out his thoughts, he went back to work.
When I woke up from the dream the next day, the teleportation formation next door suddenly lit up, with blue light and fluctuations in the space system.
"It's done! Haha! I'm a genius!" Old Wim danced and shouted excitedly, like an old naughty boy.
When the short-distance teleportation array was successful, Simon woke up.
He sensed the illusion of spatial dislocation, and the dream lands seemed to be connected together.
When he passed by, he saw that the people on the teleportation array disappeared and moved to the other side.
After a while, Old Wim and others teleported back and expressed their joy of success to Simon.
"Simon, we can also build a teleportation array in reality. It will definitely be of great use!" Old Wim said exaggeratedly.
"Old Wim, please stop for a moment. Have you ever calculated how much material you spent on your dream?" Simon waved his hand.
"ah?"
Old Wim paused.
He is not a fool.
After being reminded by Simon, he immediately discovered that the cost of building a short-distance teleportation array was very high.
It was previously estimated to cost 50 million.
Now he estimates that he can save some unnecessary expenses and reduce the cost to 40 million.
This is almost the limit. The rest are hard costs and cannot be reduced any further.
Moreover, this has to be the cost of a successful project, otherwise the total cost will definitely soar to 50 million, which is not even enough.
"In our team..." Old Wim finished his sentence and stopped talking.
After all, he is a good person and knows what to say and what not to say.
The cost of tens of millions is not decided by him, but by Simon.
Therefore, Old Wim stopped talking about it and did not plan to build it in reality.
The great alchemist's dream is not bad to have fun in the dream, and you don't have to be obsessed with reality to come true.
When Old Wim was thinking this, he suddenly remembered something.
"The proficiency of my third skill 'Upgrade' has been fully upgraded and is stuck at LV3 99%... That four-star alchemist must have been promoted through the large teleportation array, there is no mistake. "Old Wim said.
Simon couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
A four-star alchemist.
If I accumulate resources to cultivate it.
It will be much easier to refine advanced alchemy potion formulas in the future.
Later, Simon thought about his undeveloped sixth-level territory of Earth Dragon. Those resources were the team property of the Snow Mountain Adventure Group and contained a large amount of renewable resource wealth.
So in theory, Simon has the financial ability to train Old Wim to spend money to build a teleportation array.
So the question is, is it worth the money?
Who would dare to spend so much money without signing a lifetime employment contract?
Simon is not in a hurry just yet.
It still takes a long time, and a small teleportation array may not be able to be promoted. Maybe a large teleportation array must be built.
Simon stepped into the teleportation array and experienced the wonderful feeling of a short-distance teleportation array. In an instant, the space seemed to freeze, time passed very slowly, but the surrounding scenery was blurred and turned into broken bubbles.
In the blink of an eye, the bubble faded away, and the person was already standing at the exit of another teleportation array, carrying out a short-distance teleportation of several thousand meters.
"According to this theory, if we build a large teleportation array, how many meters can it be transmitted?" Simon asked.
"This, no matter what, it can be transmitted to a distance of 20,000 meters. This is the minimum estimate between the two large teleportation arrays. The pile of materials can be transmitted further."
"Is this the formation in the dungeon?"
"The one in the underground city is a little more complicated. It has ten short-distance teleportation arrays as the core, forming an overall teleportation system, plus some distance increases in space. Anyway, I don't know."
Old Wim shook his head.
He had maintained the teleportation array in the Great Adventure Group, and the content he was responsible for was nothing more than that. It did not involve the overall study of the entire system, and only learned part of it.
Old Wim can figure out a short-distance teleportation array on his own, which is already very powerful.
In reality, it was the result of a group of people joining forces, not the efforts of one person.
Old Wim just stood on the shoulders of giants, so he was able to set the direction in his dream and find the correct manufacturing method through constant trial and error.
In reality, I would hardly dare to think about it.
Just the first few failed money-burning experiments can cause the entire project to close down, and there will be nothing more to come.
"By the way, why are you asking about the big teleportation array?"
"I'm not thinking that if you successfully cross the snow-capped mountains, you can build a teleportation array on the back of the snow-capped mountains and connect it to the mother array where we are stationed. Wouldn't it connect the two places and break the geographical isolation?" Simon thought.
"this……"
Old Wim was shocked.
Simon, I didn’t expect you to have such thoughts.
It's really...so great.
If this great project succeeds, won't it benefit all the people in Haizhen?
Even the neighboring towns next door can benefit from this.
But the starting capital for this project and the money that needs to be burned are not things that Old Wim should think about.
He kept his mouth shut and did not comment on the matter.
Simon did not continue to explore the possibilities in depth. He also knew that the funds required for this project were too exaggerated and not feasible.
Unless the snow mountain team really has the ability to cross the snow mountain.
When the time comes when he successfully climbs the mountain and comes back to take the lead in the project, the level of difficulty is no longer the same.
People will gather spontaneously and bring their own dry food to follow him. Everyone will work together on this big project to connect the two places.
When Simon thought of this, his DNA moved, and an indescribable sense of mission arose spontaneously.
In fact, he knew that he was not such a pure person.
His ultimate goal is to go to the mythical dungeon and find his way home.
Opening up communication between the two places was just something he did casually.
If he really can't do it, then he will give up rationally and continue on the road.
