Chapter 936: Climbing

Climbing the levels of the Tianxia Capital was quite an odd experience. Each of the floors felt like a gigantic city, and after passing through the first ten they started to become far more varied. Some had huge open wilderness areas with immense nature preserves and wild animals roaming freely. Others were rolling farmlands on gentle hills, filled with crops and quaint little villages. There was even one with mountainous peaks, with sharp cliff-faces and fertile valleys. These themes seemed to also extend to the inner walls of the tower as well as the long ramps leading up to the next level. It was quite unusual to feel like being in the outside world, yet also knowing you were inside a gigantic structure. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Each level of the Tianxia Capital had a bright light source on the ceiling that moved across the sky every day, simulating the sun, as well as a dimmer one that could take different shapes to be the moon. From the crops that were grown, these light sources were very good at simulating the sun, and it made Sage quite curious how they created such a thing. It wasnt just that it could grow plants, but could also help grow Spirit Plants. Such a thing was definitely not normal.

Sage climbed ten levels a day, only experiencing each of the floors from afar as he ascended the ramps through them. It was only on every tenth floor that he took some time at the beginning and end of every day to do some business and gather some information. Due to being worried about Guan Zhenyans demands he soon had more Spirit Stones in his possession than ever before, even with the consumption of a thousand Spirit Stones every day. Zhenyan was strangely quiet until one day after more than a year had passed. On the four thousandth, six hundred and twentieth floor, Zhenyan told him to leave the Quick Ramp. Surprised, Sage almost didnt get off the ramp in time.

After this far, he no longer wasted money renting a carriage from others. He also wasnt rich enough to pay for an indoor flight permit as it made the level access cost ten times more. Instead, he used his own vehicle, one of the most modern devices developed on the Inner World. It was the closest thing to an Earth car that he could find, but it was still quite different in many ways. The Steam Engines hed created using Formation Arrays had nowhere near the power of a combustion engine of a similar size, but they could make up for it by using more expensive materials instead. The thing that had set the combustion engine apart from the steam engine in history was the change from large and heavy volumes of water and fuel in comparison to the far more energy packed fossil fuels.

Using arrays, the steam engines they built didnt need to carry around large water reserves or fuel reserves. Instead they could use Spirit Stones to generate water and heat it without any other input. With more expensive materials they could create tougher pressure chambers in larger and larger volumes to generate immense amounts of power without exceedingly heavy parts. So, the vehicle he drove could reach very high speeds, especially as they found more and more substitutes for the materials that Sage was used to from Earth. In order for a car to go as fast as they did they needed special materials to act as bearings with high strength and low wear, materials that were strong and springy to be suspension, heat resistant for braking, and of huge importance the tires and road. Since a road couldnt be counted on they had to focus more on off-road style tires and suspension systems.

Dont worry, I understand. Its been quite some time.

Thank you, Sir. Alright, come with me, Ill take you to what you need.

Sage we led out of the room and out into a large yard where immense stones were piled up into a large hill.

Here you are, Sir. These stones contain precious minerals for the Dream Dealer.

Sage waved his hand and the mountain of boulders disappeared into thin air, to the shock of the manor owner. Then he nodded and turned around, walking away with a final parting phrase, I hope you didnt leave anything out, or my next visit wont be so kind.
