Looking around, except for a few floating islands in the distance, there is no observable tangible material. This is indeed a typical wind elemental plane.
It essentially belongs to the material plane, but the nature of the elements is so extreme that Xia Duo even suspected that those floating islands were not products of this plane at all, but were brought in from outside.
Because this plane is the same as the [Azure Crystal Plane] he owns, with very little gravity. In addition, the entire plane is filled with strong winds, making it almost impossible to gather the free fine matter into a floating island.
"Lord Xia Duo, please come this way."
Just when Sha Duo was speculating on the reason for the existence of the floating island in this plane, Tara Fu was already reminding him to go deeper. And he seemed to notice Sha Duo's gaze. Tara Fu also explained in time:
"Those floating islands are the breeding base for wind elements. The newborn wind elements are too weak and they need to be allowed to grow for a while before being released into the natural environment."
After saying that, Tarafu took the lead and flew towards the floating island.
Sha Duo followed Talaf, flying while carefully sensing the magic network in this plane. It was slightly different from the main plane, but with his spell casting proficiency, this level of difference would not affect his normal spell casting.
, only a slight adjustment is needed.
During the flight, they would occasionally encounter some wind elemental creatures that broke into their route. At this time, Tarafu was responsible for driving these wind elements away, and at the same time explained to Xia Duo:
"There are too many wind elements raised in this pasture. The elders of the wind elements may not be able to take care of every one of them. It doesn't matter if some escape from the restraint occasionally. When it is time to feed, they will all go back."
"Are these wind elements content with being in captivity and not resisting the harvest?" This is something Sha Duo is very curious about.
"How can this be in captivity? This entire plane is their range of activities. If this is all in captivity, then who of us is in captivity in the main plane?"
Tarafu asked a very philosophical question. Xia Duo was slightly silent after hearing the words, but the other party continued to explain: "The wind element naturally loves freedom, and only plane-level elemental pastures can support their normal activities.
"As for resistance, any creature will have a survival instinct, and of course they will resist, but this kind of special creature, as long as it does not become an elemental elder, cannot have real wisdom, and their resistance is meaningless in our opinion.
"And once you become an elemental elder and possess wisdom, you will naturally be able to avoid being harvested, and you can also become the manager of a new elemental pasture."
After hearing this explanation, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh that even the capitalists were not so capable, but there was nothing to blame. As Tarafu said, these ordinary elemental creatures did not possess real wisdom.
Moreover, the shape is too different from flesh-and-blood creatures like humans. Humans even breed chickens and ducks, which are also flesh-and-blood creatures, and they are not inferior to elemental creatures.
And the most important thing is that Xia Duo's trip is to sign a contract with the Mairead family to introduce the technology related to element ranching. There is no point in criticizing, but to praise for a job well done and a perfect idea!
This is like humans raising traditional livestock, and then selecting the best from the livestock as managers to continue to open new farms. This is simply an unimagined path.
…
Soon, the two came to the nearest floating island. This floating island looked very small from a distance, but after getting closer, Xia Duo discovered that this island was actually no smaller than the Murloc Island in the [Azurite Plane].
How many.
The diameter is about six or seven miles.
There are few buildings on the island, only things that look like crystal cubes, neatly and densely arranged in the center of one side of the floating island. If you get closer, you can find that there are smiling whirlpools inside these crystal cubes.
"This is the wind element incubator?"
On the way, Tarafu had already introduced the function of these crystal cubes to Sha Duo. At this time, when he heard Sha Duo's inquiry, he once again gave an affirmative answer:
"Yes, Lord Xia Duo can observe at will. After the agreement is signed, we will hand over all the technology, which naturally includes the technology for making this kind of incubator."
Xia Duo did not expect the technology to be handed over before the agreement was signed, but allowing him to observe at will showed that the Mairead family was indeed sincere.
After all, the magical world is different from the earth. Some technologies may just be an idea. Once you understand the idea by looking at it, even if you don't use the original design, you can still use other designs to implement it.
So, Xia Duo got closer and observed the crystal cube carefully. It was said to be an incubation box but in fact it was not a hollow box, but a solid whole with a side length of about half a meter.
Although it looks like a transparent crystal, its surface and interior faintly reveal complex and tight magic lines. It does not look like a magic item made by the constant method, but rather a product of mithril construction and crystal encapsulation.
Of course, this is just a "resemblance", and it is more likely to be Calimshan's unique production process.
You can use any production method. After all, the essence of magic is unique. The system difference between Calimshan blood magic and Nese magic is actually much smaller than the difference between Nese magic and Elf magic.
Shado wasn't worried that it wouldn't be possible to make it using Nese magic's craftsmanship.
What he is mainly observing now is not the manufacturing process of this crystal cube, but the core function of this crystal cube.
After observation, he initially judged that this crystal cube should at least have the functions of energy gathering, creation, and restraint.
The so-called energy gathering and creation are, of course, the gathering of wind elements to give birth to elemental creatures. This is the core function, while the binding is to temporarily bind the wind elements into this crystal and continue to cultivate them.
They will not be released until certain standards are reached.
There are nearly a million breeding boxes on this floating island, and the cultivation progress of these breeding boxes cannot be controlled so well. They all gather energy, create and release together.
According to Tarafu's explanation, the process of the birth of elemental creatures is very ingenious. It does not necessarily mean that elemental creatures will be born when the elements are gathered together. It also requires some special catalysis, and this catalysis is the core technology mastered by the Mairead family.
But even so, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate within a fixed cultivation period.
The success rate of the negotiation between Xia Duo and the Mairead family is at least 30%, and the Mairead family may be higher. However, this will at most affect the cultivation cycle of some elemental creatures, and it will not have a big impact on the entire elemental breeding process.
Therefore, the cultivation progress of these nearly one million breeding boxes is almost never exactly the same. It is conceivable that when Xia Duo and Tarafu went to the island, they must have seen the scene of the wind element being released.
Those released wind elements will be summoned by the distant wind element elders and go to the element elders from the fast wind field channel above the breeding box to receive further cultivation.
