At first glance, it seed unknown, but after digging deeper, he was shocked.
Following this trend, if Dadui's first super large Spirit Transformation Array could be built, there wouldn't be an issue, at most just so ti delay.
However, for the second one in the later plans, by then, the overall cost would at least increase tenfold.
With Dadui's current national strength, if the treasury were to cover all these costs, eighty percent of it would end up with a, "Your Majesty, this spectacle will ruin the nation."
Yu Ziqing calculated the expenditures slightly, and he felt his heart skip a beat.
If by that ti, Dali also got envious and wanted to build a super large Spirit Transformation Array, calculating it based on the costs of Dazhen's super large Spirit Transformation Array, they wouldn't hesitate much before deciding.
But once construction truly began, these ever-rising costs would eighty percent leave Dali stranded on a tiger, unable to dismount.
Giving up would leave a high sunk cost; if they didn't give up, under the circumstances of rising costs and the need to replace materials, who knows how much more would need to be invested — it's all an unknown.
Yu Ziqing, based on his current knowledge and understanding of super large Spirit Transformation Arrays,
perford a slight deduction, and his eyelids twitched slightly.
Fortunately, Dazhen was the first. If Dazhen were later in the order, according to Yu Ziqing's calculations, these costs would bankrupt Dazhen's finances.
By that ti, Dazhen already struggling, large internal turmoil is inevitable, coupled with the exhaustion of resources elsewhere, leaving no resources to cultivate powerful individuals.
This series of chain reactions might truly lead Dazhen to collapse.
Yu Ziqing opened his eyes and softly exhaled a breath.
So couldn't stop the appearance of the Spirit Transformation Array, so they switched directions to prevent the ergence of the super large Spirit Transformation Array.
After all, ordinary Spirit Transformation Arrays, large Spirit Transformation Arrays, and super large Spirit Transformation Arrays are not just about expanding the range; there's a qualitative change.
The opponent not only wants to prevent the ergence of the super large Spirit Transformation Array but also intends to use this thing for sustained consumption, continuous bleeding.
With such ongoing consumption, hundreds of years later, maintaining Dazhen's first super large Spirit Transformation Array would likely lack suitable materials, causing power loss and deterioration, which is inevitable.
Furthermore, to be clear, it's not that Yu Ziqing looks down on Dazhen.
In their situation, no matter how they expand and accumulate wealth over several hundred years, they absolutely cannot afford the cost required to construct another after the cost surge.
By that ti, the super large Spirit Transformation Array would officially beco history.
Even if ordinary Spirit Transformation Arrays still exist, a thousand ordinary ones wouldn't bring the qualitative change of a single super large one.
Yu Ziqing pondered a bit, revisited the data given by the Deceitful Ghost, Riddler, and others.
Then he got up and quietly left Dadui, heading straight to Dazhen.
He quietly arrived at the eastern side of the Hengduan Mountains in Dazhen, near the Southern Border of Dazhen.
He had been here before; one of the basic raw materials needed for the super large Spirit Transformation Array cos from here.
He concealed his aura and figure, observing from the workshop and eventually reached the mineral vein.
Just a slight sensing of the internal pathways of the mine, Yu Ziqing suddenly felt a ripping sensation.
He closed his eyes and quietly retreated.
Continuing to personally investigate and gather all sorts of information, days later, he returned to one of the mines, took a glance, and turned to leave.
Flying back dozens of miles away, Yu Ziqing closed his eyes, confirming his previous hypothesis.
History has been altered by soone.
He clearly rembered, the materials here, he had personally ntioned before.
This place could be considered a starting point in his collaboration with Dazhen on material supply.
He rembered clearly that when prospecting this mineral vein, based on past experiences, it was within a depth range of 100 to 1,000 zhang, spreading to the sides.
The reserves were essentially within this range.
However, at that ti, they accidentally broke through into a subterranean void, where a body cultivation miner, influenced by the mineral vein's power, got disoriented, dug 500 zhang deeper, but didn't escape, only to discover a rich mineral.
The range from 100 to 1,000 zhang, anwhile, had low reserves.
But now, after Yu Ziqing personally ca, he discovered that the miners here were only extracting in the 100 to 1,000 zhang depth range.
As a result, the production of this mineral vein decreased over ti, with ore quality deteriorating and impurities increasing.
However, in all records, whether from the Deceitful Ghost's channels or the Riddler's, everything seed normal.
Yu Ziqing went to ask the local Riddler spy and found that indeed, a miner had accidentally dug into an underground space and fell, but he clawed his way through the earth and escaped from below.
This ti, he didn't get lost and dug in the wrong direction.
This was where the first change occurred.
rely this change, the subsequent developnts all followed a reasonable and normal course.
Ultimately, it impacted the progress of Dadui's super large Spirit Transformation Array.
Yu Ziqing, having thoroughly understood, knew that others hadn't discovered anything abnormal.
No one even rembered any record that this was actually a rich mineral vein.
But he rembered, because he had personally been here before.
This ans that history has been altered. Others might be altered, but what he rembers wouldn't be.
However, if he didn't rember sothing from the beginning, and the information he got was already altered, there's an eighty percent chance he wouldn't detect it.
This point could be temporarily confird.
The next day, Yu Ziqing went back to that mine again and, upon seeing it, felt a sense of dissonance, as if he completely clashed with the place.
That psychological sense of incompatibility.
He entered the mine, and when he reached 800 zhang underground, he found the large subterranean space there.
He jumped into the underground space, landed at the deepest point, extended his hands, turned into an excavator, and rapidly dug downward through the earth.
He continuously shuttled underground, and below an additional 500 zhang, the ore indeed beca scarcer, extrely ager, with no exploitation value.
But after another 500 zhang down, the ore beca more plentiful, at least two orders of magnitude greater than the reserves being mined at 100 to 1,000 zhang.
Days later, Yu Ziqing returned to the surface.
Silently, he etched a second note in his mind.
Such mineral veins, ford through years of evolution and belonging to the natural world, cannot be altered.
Extending this further, objectively existing things might also be unchangeable.
