Chapter 344 A Hundred Explanations of the Dao of Arrays
……

With the warm and thoughtful service of Manager Zhou, Wu Wen successfully left Baibao Trading Company.

At this moment, he urgently needed to find a place to stay.

So Wu Wen went to a brokerage firm. With the help of the brokerage clerk, he finally chose a quiet and elegant courtyard in a secluded part of the city and rented it as his temporary residence.

"Sir, are you satisfied with this place?" the broker asked with a beaming smile.

"Good, this is it." Wu Wen nodded in satisfaction.

Wu Wen readily paid five low-level crystals as a year's rent. With the contract in effect, the courtyard officially became Wu Wen's place of residence.

Afterwards, the brokers took their leave.

At this moment, Wu Wen was all alone in the huge courtyard.

Originally, the brokers intended to give Wu Wen some servants and maids as gifts, but he politely declined them all.

Walking alone into the room, Wu Wen slowly took out a palm-sized embroidered pouch from his sleeve.

Looking at the embroidered pouch in his palm, Wu Wen's eyes were full of anticipation and enthusiasm.

It turns out that this seemingly small bag is actually a "storage bag"!
It is no bigger than the palm of your hand on the outside, but it can store items that are almost the size of a room inside.

This "storage bag" was an extra gift given to Wu Wen by Baibao Trading Company.

This item was not for sale. Manager Zhou used his authority to give it away for free because he valued Wu Wen as a distinguished guest, just like a benefit for exclusive members.

When Wu Wen first saw this "storage bag", he was first surprised, followed by a great deal of curiosity.

He was very puzzled as to what principle this "storage bag" was made of.
However, since the time and place were not suitable, Wu Wen did not immediately begin his investigation.

Now, Wu Wen could finally explore the secrets of this "storage bag".

Wu Wen gently opened the storage bag, his mind stirred, and at the same time he formed a hand seal and gave the command. Several items appeared directly in front of him.

The use of the storage bag requires specific incantations and hand seals. There are corresponding incantations and hand seals for receiving items and for retrieving items.

This is similar to entering a password or instructions; once you have the "key" to open the door, you can use this storage bag freely.

Wu Wen began to conduct repeated storage experiments, trying to uncover the secrets of the storage bag in the process.

After some deduction and analysis, Wu Wen discovered that, in a simple sense, the functional principle of this storage bag is actually not complicated.

It can compress objects and then store them.

Just like a compressed sponge, it can expel the air from the sponge, making its volume extremely small, and when it is removed, the sponge will automatically return to its original size.

However, this seemingly simple process contains extremely complex principles.

First, from a microscopic perspective, there are indeed gaps between the particles that make up an object, but conventional compression techniques, such as gas compression, only change the spacing between particles and do not actually "compress space".

Therefore, this requires further techniques involving the manipulation of quantum fields and spacetime structures, just like the amazing wormhole theory!
In response, Wu Wen discovered through repeated experiments and simulations that the storage bag employs a phased compression strategy when collecting items.

First, it makes an assessment of the size of the items to be collected. This step is actually a scanning at the molecular level, recording the structure of the object layer by layer.

Then, hierarchical encoding is performed, decomposing the complex structure into recursive geometric and physical rules, such as using fractal algorithms, to reduce the amount of data.

Finally, compress the items and store them in the storage bag.

However, when trying to retrieve the item, another problem arises—the problem of information entropy and restoration.

Compression and decompression are essentially information processing problems.

When an object is compressed, it is necessary to record the state of the particles, such as position, momentum, and quantum state, which is similar to building a "data model".

Retrieving the item is like performing a reverse engineering process to restore it.

The storage bag manufacturing system comes with a built-in intelligent decompression protocol that can automatically restore the model, thereby allowing the item's structure to be reconstructed.

This is similar to restoring a photo that has been compressed to high resolution.

...As Wu Wen's research into storage bags deepened, he became increasingly aware that the technology required to make them was far more profound than he had imagined.

At this moment, he was as if he were disassembling and studying a highly precise smartphone.

When he opened the phone's casing, he found that besides various accessories, the most important thing inside was the various circuits on the motherboard.

The processor, storage devices, and other components on the motherboard are even more complex and difficult to understand.

Besides the hardware, the phone's system software is equally mysterious.

Therefore, regarding the "storage bag" in his hand, although Wu Wen has figured out some of the principles, he is still far from truly mastering it and even being able to make one himself.

This is not only because the manufacturing process of storage bags is extremely complex, but also because Wu Wen's own knowledge reserves have become somewhat outdated.

Because the knowledge and technology involved are beyond the scope of Wu Wen's current knowledge.

Wu Wen did not choose to fight to the death.

Instead, they decided to learn some basic knowledge first to enrich their knowledge.

He found his direction for learning from the "Hundred Explanations of the Array Dao" jade slip he obtained from the Baibao Trading Company.

The hidden content in this jade slip is actually a three-dimensional secret pattern composed of dots, lines, and square pieces.

This seemingly uninformative pattern is actually similar to a QR code.

Once you master its decoding method, you can read the hidden information within it.

This decoding method is the same as the method using jade slips.

Wu Wen successfully read the information from the jade slip using the "decoding formula" he obtained from Baibao Trading Company.

The so-called "Hundred Explanations of Formation Techniques" is actually a classic text that provides a detailed explanation of basic formations.

In essence, formations are a way of utilizing energy.

Energy is mainly divided into seven basic forms: mechanical energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, light energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, and internal energy.

These seven basic forms of energy can be transformed into one another.

Thus, the formation was born.

Among them, Wu Wen is most familiar with electricity.

During the transmission of electrical energy, an electromagnetic field is generated.

Electromagnetic fields are actually the simplest level one array!
By further understanding and mastering electromagnetic fields, one can improve the level of the formation.

The "Hundred Explanations of Formation Techniques" only records two first-level formations.

These two level-one formations correspond exactly to electrical energy and thermal energy!

Level 1: Micro-electric initial field array.

The array is composed of runes, with a circular rune at the center that emits a faint blue light. It is surrounded by two layers of sparse, spirally distributed fine rune threads, with two miniature "electric" characters embedded in each layer of threads.

Level 1: Slightly heated initial vortex array.

The array is composed of runes, with a small circular rune at the center that emits a faint glow, representing the origin of the heat source. Surrounding it are three layers of simple and sparse spiral patterns, with only three tiny flame-shaped runes distributed on each spiral pattern.

Although these were the simplest and most basic formations, Wu Wen did not slack off in the slightest.

He wanted to start from the most basic knowledge and learn step by step through deduction.

Because, as mentioned in the final explanation of "One Hundred Explanations of Array Formations", once an array reaches level nine, it can interfere with the operation of planets.
