For the time being, Xia Duo’s original plan will not change, and he will still mass-produce magic items to harvest external resources, thereby turning them into internal development momentum.
In addition to population and resources, the most important thing to consider is the external environment.
Like now, suddenly coming up with a magic-restriction treaty would be a headache. Xia Duo didn't have many requirements for the external environment, as long as it was stable and didn't disturb him.
The most taboo thing about farming is a lot of troubles coming to your doorstep. As long as you give him enough time for stable development, Xia Duo is confident that he can spread the land to the north and even wider areas.
After carefully considering many factors, Xia Duo decided to focus his development on the secondary plane.
The main plane has too many restrictions and can easily attract prying eyes. Instead, it is better to find a blank plane where no one is watching and explain that no matter what kind of social experiment you want to conduct, you can proceed with confidence and boldness.
It's just that sub-planes are difficult to find, and livable planes that can accommodate a large population are even harder to find. For the time being, Xia Duo only has a normal material plane, the blue crystal plane.
Even though I am a little sick and the environment is not suitable, I can still be saved and can be reformed.
As long as it is managed properly, there is no problem in accommodating hundreds of millions of people. The only difference is time and population.
To a certain extent, Xia Duo's decision to bet his future on the realm of planes a long time ago was completely foresighted!
But he still wants to continue working hard in the future. In addition to actively exploring and discovering new sub-dimensions, Xia Duo is also looking forward to transforming portable space into a portable livable plane.
As for the territory on the main plane, of course there is no need to give it up. It is good to use it as a window for external display.
…
In addition to the objective real environment, the external environment also includes various allies, partners, and even cooperation partners.
At this stage, Shado's closest ally is probably Iolum, but this closeness is more based on personal relationships. Even with the [Mythra] device at the level, it's actually not that much.
close.
Putting aside personal factors, his relationship with Iolum is probably not as close as his relationship with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce!
The Mingshui Chamber of Commerce acts as an agent for the Tower of Time to produce various mass-produced magic items. The Tower of Time purchases a large amount of magic raw materials through the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, there is recognition and promotion of new coins, which can be regarded as a collaborator on the road to becoming a god.
As for Iolum, Shado has not heard of him yet, let alone seen any plans for his ascension to the gods. It seems that he is planning to remain the president of the Austrian Law Federation until his death.
In that position, no matter how good his personal relationship was, it would be difficult for Iolum to provide much support beyond what ordinary people could get.
Sha Duo's most important ally now is the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the actual collusion of interests, Sha Duo once saved Said, which is also a plus.
Besides the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, there is Lord Collins.
Shado and he were running the smuggling business together, and of course the Ellan elf Hildalanna, who has now revealed her identity, would be in trouble for all three parties if Cormanso discovered this.
Putting aside the elves, Chateau and Lord Collins are relatively firm partners in interests.
After that, there were either individual spellcasters who had few contacts, or they were brought together by a common enemy.
For example, Lord Rodney, originally the two sides were supposed to be on the same side, but Lord Rodney was also forced by "thieves" at first, and the princess made peace with him. Later, Lord Rodney even changed his mind in one fell swoop.
After that, the two sides were able to talk to each other. Regardless of other aspects, at least when facing Vader's Grand Arcanist, both sides were on the same front.
As for the enemies, Shado has always been kind to everyone, except for Lord Hawke, or the current Grand Arcanist of Hawke, and the Grand Arcanist of Vader, who has made peace with others and temporarily put aside their previous grudges.
These two are considered the most likely enemies.
As for potential enemies, there are many.
As the source of change and the standard-bearer of the new era, Xia Duo will always have countless people hostile to him whether he accepts it or not. Even his current allies and partners may become enemies in the future.
In this regard, the only person Shado could be sure of was not an enemy, but Iolum, his nominal teacher who had no interest entanglements with him.
Iolum also changed outward and agreed with education for all, but it was just a step further that Chateau was not sure about.
In fact, the only thing he truly believes in is the new generation that grew up under the new system of the Tower of Time, and everything in the old era can be left to them.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly lost all interest in the so-called external operating environment. He really didn't want to engage in intrigues and deceit, so he still wanted to crush them in an upright way.
"Come to the academy! Come to the academy! I hope you won't disappoint me!"
After thinking carefully, Xia Duo decided not to think about those troublesome things for the time being. The future was changeable and it was useless to think about it. At least before the floating city appeared, he could still control everything.
As for the emergence of the floating city, it will be even simpler. Maybe he won't have to work hard to deal with the outside world, but the outside world will have to adapt to him!
…
I don't know how much time has passed.
More than ten wind element plane passages in the vacuum collapsed, disappeared and reopened, always maintaining more than ten.
Gradually, Xia Duo felt a slight breeze appear around him, and the violent wind and turbulence pouring out of the plane channel was no longer diluted by the vacuum environment as soon as it appeared, but became persistent.
The howling wind is now able to blow out of the plane channel for nearly a hundred meters. It is not that the air flow in the plane channel has increased, but that the vacuum is gradually being filled.
Xia Duo did a simple test and found that although the air in this space is still very thin, it can already allow an ordinary person to breathe.
Based on experience on Earth, the current density of air in this space is approximately one-quarter of that in the normal environment.
In other words, if these more than ten plane passages are opened for four times longer, ordinary people will be able to breathe normally in this space.
Of course, this is just a simple calculation, and the actual situation may be more complicated, but it is enough as a reference.
According to the current time, Xia Duo opened nearly a hundred dimensional passages in deep space in one breath. It's not that there can't be more, but it's enough for the time being.
Even if this place is turned into a normal air environment at once, the consumption of the element conversion process is still unavoidable. Anyway, there is no rush to immigrate in a short time. It is convenient to add a little each time, and it is also convenient to calculate the speed of air consumption.
Once the air factory is built, livable air will be automatically replenished based on the consumption rate.
…
Back on the island, Niya is still making arcane crystal extractors. Except for the first few that are still a little out of shape, most of the rest are consistent with the blueprint.
But this time, Niya kept the few ones that were a little out of shape, maybe to warn herself.
