12. Improvement and Reinforcement (I)
Because the source power of the current location is very strong and active, Wende only used three complete meditation cycles, that is, about twelve hours, to restore the source power pool that was originally close to drying up by eighty or ninety.
This made Wende feel a lot better, and there were a lot of things to do on the "base area" side, so he was not busy recovering the source power.
He hastily ate some "nutritious meals"—made by the food maker left behind by his mentor—which was quite nutritious enough to meet the needs of the human body, but unfortunately the taste was too light, and the paste-like paste did not taste good.
Then I went into a meditative state and began to work.
After scrutinizing the "road" for the first time, Wende immediately noticed a number of problems.
Many of these can be avoided if you could have been more cautious before your first trip.
His impulse to return to his homeland forced the path to be put into use before it was complete, resulting in a number of dark wounds, and now weak, not enough to support Winde's further trip to that plane.
If he wants to travel to a foreign land again, Wende must first repair the road. Repair the wounds and reinforce the road so that it can support frequent travel without suddenly breaking down.
These tasks require a lot of source power, and they cannot be accomplished overnight, and it takes some water grinding to complete.
Winder wasn't in a hurry, he had something else to do besides reinforcing the road—deepening his connection to that plane in a foreign land.
There aren't many benefits to this, but it's important to Winder.
The deepening of the connection between a plane and the traveler is generally divided into two situations:
The first is that the traveler's actions in this plane have taken a firm step towards the pursuit of his own purpose, expanding his influence in this plane, so that to the feedback of the root of the plane, his own source power pool will be expanded and his strength will be enhanced.
The second is that the traveler actively approaches a plane, and the distance between them is shortened, which will improve the "quality" of the traveler's influence on this plane.
This improvement does not reduce the distance required to achieve the goal, and even the distance will require a lot of effort from the traveler.
But the expense may be worth it.
Because of the increase in the quality of the influence, the only meaning for the traveler is that it can change the temporal flow rate of this plane compared to other planes!
As mentioned earlier, time in a plane is like a long river, and once a traveler enters it, he will become a part of it. Even if you leave, the impact will be there, and the traveler will be positioned like coordinates, so that the traveler can no longer change his position in the long river.
And this influence and positioning also have a similar effect to the traveler's doppelganger, even if the traveler withdraws from this plane, the long river will still be wrapped in the doppelganger and continue to flow downward.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for a traveler to enter and exit one world and enter and one world, and the time between two times in the plane is ten or eight years; A difference of 100 years, that is also normal.
Most travelers don't care about this, because time really doesn't mean much to travelers who are close to immortality.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as a bits of meaning to the traveler.
Travelers will no longer sit idly by and watch the flow of the river of time, but instead use their influence in that plane to build a dam on the river of time in that plane to slow down, or even stagnate, the flow of time!
That's what Winder wants to do right now.
But he still has some uncertainty about how far he can do it.
Because of this content, there is not much in the textbooks left by the tutor, and how to achieve it depends on Wende's own exploration.
At the moment, Winder only has a vague idea:
In the base area where he is now, time follows his hometown; The other side is a parallel world of a different dimension from the hometown, and there is no difference in time calculation.
In addition, his influence on a foreign land and his sense of existence are very weak, and the ratio of flow velocity in different dimensions on both sides is infinitely close to 1:1.
It may be a little slower in a foreign land, but the difference will definitely not exceed 1 second/month.
And Winder's temporary goal is to make the flow rate of time on the foreign plane and the base area, or his own "core time", reach about 1:10 when he is not on the foreign plane, that is, he spends ten days in the other plane, and only one day passes on the foreign plane.
This is an ideal situation, and if it really doesn't work, a minimum of 1:5 is barely acceptable.
Winder has roughly calculated.
A foreign land means a lot to him, but it is also important to empower the traveler.
Therefore, even if you don't talk about whether your ability is enough, you can't stay in a foreign land all the time, and you have to travel to other planes from time to time.
This was planned a long time ago, and the key given by the mentor by accident was just a little earlier in this time.
Under these premises, Wende also wants to maintain a relationship with his former friends, and have the opportunity to take care of and help, and the interval between each time should not be too long.
Otherwise, not to mention that there is a real accident, it is likely that it will not be too late to react, and each time we meet will be a month apart (a month is a more common travel cycle) upwards, and even maintaining a closer relationship will become so easy.
…………
After injecting the source power into the silk threads of the road, allowing it to slowly absorb and repair the dark wounds, Wende began to try to deepen his connection with the foreign land.
At first, he felt a little at a loss, but the door in his perception consciousness was actually just a projection of a foreign plane, so how to deepen the connection?
He tried to send the source force there, but the image of the door did not respond, and the source power did not feel like it was landing or attaching to the object.
Obviously, this is not going to work.
In the meditation process, try to close the distance to the door.
Still no, he realized that no matter what means he used, as long as he did not use the road, the distance between him and the door would always be the same; And if you take advantage of the road, it is no longer a deepening connection, but a direct entry instead......
Of course, with the current state of the road, it is more likely that the road will be damaged than entering a foreign land, and the contact with the foreign plane will be completely lost.
Wait a minute!
Winder suddenly realized that when he was not in a foreign land, the road was his most direct and conspicuous connection to the foreign plane.
So, if you don't think of the road as a road, but as a "rope", can you use the road to get closer to you?
Winder said he would do it, and there was no better idea for the time being.
But he didn't expect that when he really put it into action, he really felt the "feedback of force", and a heavy and laborious feeling arose.
After a while, it was not certain whether the wooden door had approached Wende, but his source power was almost consumed because of this move!
Wende had to withdraw from meditation, a little speechless.
The tutor once mentioned in the textbook that the traveler's fireworks are very idealistic, and in the long past, the traveler's fireworks often have a lot to do with his perception of the world.
Winder probably understands this sentence now, and at the same time has some regrets.
His education was mainly materialistic and objective, and it had a deep influence, and he was never able to completely ignore cause and effect and logic, which led to his fireworks, even if he was idealistic, he still had to talk about the Basic Law......
…………
Although the source power was not much left, the spirit and body were not tired, and Winder was reluctant to waste time on deep meditation right away.
He felt that there was something else to do, such as practicing marksmanship.
Winder will soon be traveling to another plane, and it may not be as safe as a foreign land, and a certain amount of self-preservation is necessary.
In this regard, Wende has some ability, but he does not dare to say enough.
Wende had studied sanda for a few years, but he was not a master; Today's physical fitness is very good, almost comparable to the world's best athletes, but it is far from being the top in the world; There are a lot of textbooks and a few images of cold weapons in the database, such as "Spear Technique", "Miao Dao", "Deshuang", "Japanese Sword", "Heavy Fencing" and the like, but it is still unknown what they do and how much they can improve Wende.
So after some comparison, the firearm is the strongest conventional attack method that Winder can get his hands on now.
That's having to practice.
Wende quickly used his [Creation] ability to craft each of the three firearms in the database.
Compared to this, it takes a little more effort to practice on the field.
At present, there is no suitable site in the base area, so it will have to be expanded.
Wende chose a "sports area" with a swimming pool and some fitness equipment, pressed his hand against the wall on one side of the exterior wall, and secretly meditated on the required floor area: 50X100X3 in meters, and at the same time input the source force, and when the touch in his hand changed from cold to warm, he pushed forward sharply.
The wall that your hand touched had disappeared and turned into an entrance, and inside was the space that Wender had just expanded!
