Chapter 913: The foundation of the logistics industry
In one of the Moyi Sect's secret vaults, Ye Zan discovered a miniature version of a teleportation circle. Although to him, the teleportation circle is not an unusual thing. However, this teleportation circle, which was only the size of a basin, was enough to arouse his curiosity.
You must know that although the teleportation circle is magical, the size of the objects to be teleported will still be affected by the size of the array. To put it bluntly, the entire array can't hold you, so how can it be possible to wrap you in the formation for teleportation.
So far, the teleportation circles that Ye Zan has seen can be said to be conventional teleportation arrays, and they can basically enter the teleportation with several people. A giant object like Yezan's War Fortress would not be able to use these regular teleportation circles at all. Unless the conventional teleportation circle is enlarged by tens of thousands of times, the war fortress is completely accommodated. But in that case, not to mention the cost of construction, the amount of spirit stones consumed by the teleportation method alone would definitely be an astronomical amount.
And now, the teleportation circle in front of Ye Zan can be counted as a teleportation circle. The teleportation circle was only the size of a basin, and the sixteen pillars had been reduced to four, and they were all like rolling pins. Such a teleportation circle, let alone a normal adult, cannot be used normally even by a child.
Therefore, this small teleportation circle is more like a miniature model of a teleportation circle than a teleportation circle.
However, Ye Zan didn't believe that this miniature version of the teleportation circle would be an ordinary model. If it's just a model, no matter how lifelike it is, it doesn't make sense for a cultivator. Even if this vault is used to store "useless things", it will not put models in it.
In the face of Ye Zan's inquiry, Elder Yu's expression also proved Ye Zan's speculation, and he said helplessly in his tone: "Don't hide it, Daoist friends don't look at this teleportation array, but in fact, it is also a genuine teleportation array. This is a senior I taught, according to the inheritance of the teleportation circle, he explored and refined it by himself, and it is specially used to teleport items. ”
"It's really a teleportation circle, and it can also teleport items!" When Ye Zan heard this, his interest in this small teleportation circle suddenly increased a few points.
You know, in the world of technology, although the transmission of information is very advanced, there has been little change in freight logistics. The so-called real-time transmission of items through the network combined with 3D printing technology is actually just selling dog meat with a sheep's head. Moreover, in the transportation of large quantities of goods, 3D printing does not play a practical role.
It is precisely because of this that large quantities of cargo require interstellar transportation that so many interstellar pirate groups are "fed". It is also because of this that Ye Zan's other-dimensional space storage technology will be called an "epoch-making invention".
Using the storage technology of different dimensional space, you only need to store the goods in the different dimensional space, and then send the "key" to the destination, and then you can take out the goods at the destination. This mode of transportation can be said to reduce the risk of long-distance transportation to the extent that it is infinitely close to zero. After all, the "key" only needs to be carried by one person, and one person is much smaller than the goal of a cargo ship.
However, this mode of transportation can only be regarded as hiding the goods, which is completely different from long-distance instant transmission.
In this world, although the transmission of information is backward, the transmission of people and objects has already existed. It's just that after the collapse of heaven and earth, some inheritances were more or less lost, which led to the almost loss of teleportation technology. This is also the reason why, when Ye Zan first arrived in this world, he almost never heard much about the transmission of the magic circle.
Of course, the conventional teleportation circle can also be used to teleport items in addition to living creatures such as people. It's just that the conventional teleportation circle is difficult to move once it is put down, and the teleported items are at most a "courier self-pickup point". In addition, the "cost" of the conventional teleportation circle is very expensive, and it is almost impossible to say who owns it alone.
If nothing else, even if you have a teleportation circle alone, the spirit stones that you have to consume for each teleportation will probably be a great burden.
In addition, it is also due to the "cost" problem of the conventional teleportation circle, even in the ancient period before the collapse of heaven and earth, the distribution of the teleportation circle was not very dense. After all, for cultivators, the teleportation circle is more of a tool for "long-distance transportation". If the distance you need to walk is not very far, instead of consuming spirit stones to teleport, it is better to fly over directly.
Ye Zan once thought about whether there was any way to move the teleportation circle, or even carry the teleportation circle with him. However, he didn't know much about teleportation circles, and he still relied on tricks to win those teleportation circles. It wasn't until he got the inheritance of the Moyi Sect on the teleportation circle from Ye Ping An that he had the capital to realize his ideas.
It's just that Ye Zan didn't have time to study the inheritance of the teleportation circle, and he actually encountered such a shrunken teleportation circle here. That senior of the Moyi Sect probably had similar thoughts to him, so he researched and refined such a teleportation circle.
Ye Zan picked up the pocket-sized version of the teleportation circle, and while looking at it carefully, he exclaimed: "Being able to do it so small shows that the senior of your sect has a deep understanding of the inheritance of the teleportation circle." ”
You know, a lot of things, it's not that if you reduce it by the same ratio, it can still retain the original function. In particular, many things in this world do not rely on machinery to operate, either enlarged or large, or zoomed in to make small watches. The things of this world, such as this teleportation array, in addition to involving the formation, also use the power of the Great Dao to achieve long-distance teleportation.
Therefore, those who can refine this pocket version of the teleportation circle will not only have a understanding of the teleportation circle limited to "form", but have really penetrated into the realm of "meaning". It can be said that the other party's refining of this pocket version of the teleportation circle, although it is a reference to the principle of the genuine teleportation array, must also have a lot of its own innovations in it.
However, hearing Ye Zan's admiration, the helpless look on Elder Yu's face was obviously a little deeper, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, although this teleportation circle can transmit items, you still don't have too much expectations for the effect of actual use. If it weren't for that, how could I have left it here. ”
Indeed, as mentioned earlier, the secret vault that Ye Zan was brought with was actually the place where the Moyi Sect stored its "useless things". Although the things here are not really garbage, the actual use value is by no means very high.
Therefore, since this pocket teleportation circle will be left here by the Moyi Sect, it will definitely not be as perfect as Ye Zan thought.
"Oh, I don't know much about the teleportation circle, but I don't see anything wrong with it. If Elder Yu doesn't mind, I don't know if he can explain his doubts for Zaixia?" Ye Zan held the teleportation circle and asked Elder Yu for advice very curiously.
Elder Yu stretched out his hand to take the teleportation array, held it in his palm and looked at it, and said, "Don't hide it, this teleportation array, the intention of that senior to refine it at the beginning, is actually to make it easier to transport things. After all, in order to send something, it is indeed a troublesome thing to let people run hundreds of millions of miles. It's just a pity that this teleportation circle may have some flaws in the design, one is that the teleported items are easy to lose, and the other is that it can only be used a limited number of times. ”
Elder Yu didn't sell it, and told Ye Zan clearly about the problem of this teleportation circle in a few words. After all, their Moyi Sect is about to form an alliance with the Yuqing Sect, so they can't pretend not to know about it and use defective products to trap people. What's more, there are a lot of things in this secret vault, and it is not necessary to use this thing to return Ye Zan's gift.
And when Ye Zan heard this explanation, he also frowned slightly, and said: "Things are easy to lose, and there is a limit to the number of times, this is indeed a problem." ”
Since it is specially used to teleport items, losing things is a serious problem. If you only give away something worthless, then you may lose it and care too much. But the problem is that since they have all used teleportation circles to send things, the value of that thing will definitely not be much worse. It's like, nine yuan and nine free shipping things, there is definitely no need to use SF Express for you, the value of that thing is not enough for the courier fee.
Then, in addition to being easy to lose, there is also a limit to the number of times this teleportation circle can be used. That is, you have used it to send something a few times, and maybe half of it has been lost. As a result, before you can settle accounts with it, it has already refused to serve you. Damn, such a domineering courier, no wonder it was thrown in the "garbage heap".
However, despite the fact that this thing is not a small problem, Ye Zan has not diminished his interest in it.
You must know that Ye Zan has already received the inheritance of the teleportation circle from Ye Ping'an. Therefore, when he has studied those things thoroughly, he may be able to fix the flaws of this teleportation circle. If this pocket teleportation circle is really perfected, he may be able to use it as a basis to create another logistics industry in this world.
Of course, the Moyi Sect has the inheritance of the teleportation circle, and it has not been able to perfect this thing, which means that this is not an easy task. However, in Yezan's view, the greater reason why the Moyi sect did not do it was that they did not really pay attention to its usefulness.
This is actually not surprising, after all, from the perspective of the Moyi sect, this kind of thing that is specially used to teleport items is indeed not very useful. Anyway, before there was no such thing, everyone personally or entrusted someone to transport things, and the days would just come by.
It's like, before Qianli Transmission, no one felt that they had to change the way of communication. In fact, many of the applications that are used in communication networks today were born after the existence of communication networks. It's not that people were so hungry and thirsty before, but with the communication network, they were released all of a sudden.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the communication network actually makes people dependent, rather than solving people's original needs.
For example, in the past, communication was inconvenient, and everyone used letters to communicate, and it took a long time to go back and forth. But at that time, people often wrote everything they had been doing for so long in a letter.
And with the general network, people split a letter that may have written half a year of experience into every day or even every minute and every second. So, everyone was chatting in real time, talking about what was happening all the time, as if it was primitive to write letters before.
And there is another problem, that is, when I used to write letters, many inconsequential things were not mentioned. After all, the capacity of stationery is also limited, and people are not likely to be so experienced. However, after the establishment of the communication network, people began to talk about everything, trivial things for a long time.
It's the same with item teleportation, when there is no item teleportation, maybe people don't have that much to send. Only when the teleportation of items becomes widespread and truly becomes a part of people's lives, may people feel as if they can't do without it. There is something that can be sent or not, but it is sent directly because of convenience, and it doesn't take much anyway.
On the Moyi sect's side, although some people have researched this kind of pocket teleportation circle, it has not been widely popularized due to various problems. This makes the people of the Moyi Sect still maintain their original habits, so naturally they don't pay much attention to this thing. Maybe in their opinion, there are not so many things, so they have to be delivered to others without delay, and if they really need to send them, they should send them in person.
However, unlike the people of the Moyi Sect, Ye Zan is not from this world, and is still used to being influenced by the technological world. Although there is no item teleportation technology in the technological world, the express delivery on the planet is already very convenient. Although Ye Zan himself does not rely much on express delivery, because he has had that experience, he knows how much impact this thing has on people's lives.
Ye Zan thought for a moment and said to Elder Yu, "Well, since that's the case, then I'll choose this thing." ”
Elder Yu, on his side, told Ye Zan about the teleportation circle, thinking that Ye Zan was not interested in this thing, and was about to put the teleportation circle back in its place. Hearing Ye Zan suddenly say this, he thought that something was wrong with his ears, and suddenly asked puzzledly, "What did Daoyou say?"
"I mean, if you don't mind, I'll pick this thing first. Ye Zan repeated the words again, but in order to determine the other party's attitude, he still added one more temptation.
After all, this thing is also a teleportation circle, and it will involve the inheritance of the teleportation circle mastered by the Moyi Sect. In case, if the other party is worried that the inheritance will be taken, he may be reluctant to give this thing to Ye Zan.
However, Ye Zan was worried in vain, and when Elder Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "I naturally don't mind. 2k reading network
