In the process of using data energy to make equipment, Xi Tong also gradually understood the greatest use of data energy.
The reason why data energy is different from matter is that it can be tampered with and even copied.
For example, if a weapon is forged in the real world, if you want to forge an identical one again, it will be very difficult, almost impossible.
But in the main god space, you only need to make a copy, which is absolutely the same.
Just like genes.
The digitized items have a unique existence. The content of data energy, the amount of data energy, the structure of data energy, the order of arrangement, the running speed, the propagation rate, etc. are all fixed.
As long as enough energy is invested, it can be copied infinitely.
Xi Tong purchases items from heaven in order to obtain ready-made "genes", and on this basis, he can optimize, improve, and mutate them.
Items and lives formed from data energy can enter the real world, but after these items are damaged or their lives end, the data energy collapses and quickly dissipates invisible.
Therefore, things formed by data energy can interact with the real world, but they cannot truly be integrated.
The light lingers in Xi Tong's hand, like thousands of threads, circling and intertwining to outline the appearance of Zhongya's hourglass.
Data energy flows in it, gradually improving the appearance, connotation, and function of the hourglass, as well as confining the power of time.
This is a delicate balance, and at the same time it is a fragile balance.
Once the hourglass is broken and the power of time dissipates, it will completely disappear without leaving a trace.
In the final analysis, data energy is transformed by the power of faith.
The characteristic of the creation of the power of faith is that if you believe it, there will be something; if you don’t believe it, there will be nothing.
From creating gods to making wooden sticks in the main god's space, they are all functions of the power of faith.
Taking wooden sticks as an example, after digitizing the wood in the real world, it can be reorganized using the converted data energy, which is quite similar to 3D printing.
The same is true for Zhongya's hourglass. Glass, metal, sand and other materials can only form its shape. What really functions is the power of faith.
The power of faith is like glue and filler, turning the impossible into possible and condensing wishes into reality.
Seeing the finished product in his hands, Xi Tong was very satisfied.
Although the control over the power of time is very limited, just a tiny bit.
However, just this little bit has attracted countless strong people to pursue him.
It will break when receiving fatal damage, and a trace of the power of time sealed in it will be released, returning time to one second ago.
This is a one-time item and will be destroyed as soon as it takes effect.
For a novice, this thing is not as useful as a pan. At least the pan can hit people, and the hourglass will break when smashed.
But for experts, this second is enough to change many established things and make destiny start again.
As the saying goes, a slight difference is a thousand miles wrong.
In the long river of destiny, a difference of one second can change a person's life or death, or a big change can change the fate of the world.
Later, Xi Tong began to edit the mall of Lord God Space.
Zhonya's hourglass, priced at 100,000 merit (maximum holding 1).
Merit is linked to the number of kills. The lowest level zombies, goblins, and slimes are all worth 1 merit, and the value increases as their strength increases.
If the barbarian side is completely wiped out, all meritorious deeds generated in this battle will be forfeited.
Then, Xi Tong put on the shelves numerous equipment, weapons, potions, props, bloodlines, pets, skills, and attribute points to lure the barbarians to work hard.
But after thinking about it, Xi Tong took Zhongya Hourglass off the shelves again.
The power of time is so special that even heaven does not have equipment and skills that contain the power of time.
There are two possibilities for this.
One is that there is heaven, but it is hidden in the snow.
Second, there really is no heaven.
No matter what the possibility is, once they know the existence of Zhongya's hourglass, they will kill it at all costs and take it for themselves.
It's better to be careful.
Xi Tong then continued to make equipment.
For example, the magic weapon of the world of gods.
Magic weapons are equipment, but they are not equipment in the ordinary sense.
The most important characteristic of a magic weapon is that it is in harmony with its owner's soul and body and spirit. Some natal magic weapons can also achieve the effect of damaging both.
Magical weapons focus on sacrificial refining. The higher the level of sacrificial refining, the easier and more powerful it will be when used.
In addition, the magic weapon can be made larger or smaller at will.
Not to mention the Golden Cudgel, Fantian Seal, etc. In "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" we often see little monsters opening their mouths and spitting out a handful of weapons. The weapons grow when exposed to the wind.
description of.
This is the same reason that barbarians expand in size after being injected with data energy.
In Xi Tong’s view, the magic weapon is digital equipment.
Although it is not called that, the two are essentially the same.
Magic weapons have a common feature, that is, they are made from heavenly materials and earthly treasures, especially those items that are old and full of aura.
Ordinary copper and iron are the lower choices. If it is fire-refined red copper, ice and dark iron, etc., it is the best choice.
Furthermore, there are some places full of spiritual energy, where stones, trees, etc., have remained intact despite thousands of years of wind, sun, rain, and even lightning strikes.
In Xi Tong's view, these materials are integrated with energy over a long period of time, and undergo qualitative changes step by step, eventually possessing the characteristics of both matter and energy.
To put it more bluntly, these materials have approached energy and are "data-based substances".
The longer it is tempered by energy, the more it contains, and the deeper the degree of digitization.
There is a shortage of materials, and some materials are unique, which results in the fact that many powerful magic weapons with names in the world of Fengshen are the only ones that exist.
But if it is digital equipment, as long as there is one, it means there are countless.
The top weapon refining masters in the world of Conferred Gods are Taishang Laojun of Renjiao and Taoist Duobao of Jiejiao.
Taishang Laojun didn't know anything about it, but Xi Tong observed that Taoist Duobao was refining the weapons, and without exception, there were steps for extracting materials.
In addition, the talisman is imprinted in the material and the formation is carved, so that the spiritual energy can flow in the magic weapon and produce special effects.
Comparing the two, Xi Tong became more and more certain that as the art of weapon refining develops upward, it will definitely become closer and closer to the digitalization of matter.
In comparison, the art of weapon refining is more like low-level material digitization.
However, the method of refining weapons also has its merits.
The first is the cost issue.
The digitization of matter cannot be accomplished by one person or one country, nor by one world or even several worlds.
Just like everyone knows that high-speed rail is good, but there are only a handful of people who have the ability to build it, the resources to build it, and the ability to afford it after building it.
The art of refining weapons can be learned, mastered, and made by individuals.
Furthermore, the quality of magic weapons varies greatly. Low-end magic weapons can even scare the blood of black dogs, while top-end magic weapons can even open up the world.
In this way, it may not be inferior to digital equipment.
Therefore, Xi Tong asked people to buy magic weapons on a large scale, and the goods in the shops of Taoist Duobao and Taishang Laojun were all wiped out.
