Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Alice has already provided the data: the upper limit of the Thunder General's output will not be much higher than the upper limit they can reach. It mainly relies on the characteristics of elemental energy and the control of authority to achieve extraordinary destructive power. Secondly, its ability to sustain combat is much stronger.

With all these factors combined, it seems... it's not as terrifying as they imagined?

"Just as you concluded before, the foundation for all of the above is authority + energy. Energy is the foundation, and authority is control. To put it bluntly, the energy output of General Thunder, when converted, is equivalent to 3000-5000 million tons of TNT."

"I lost because I lacked authority, while you did, two of them, plus the Heart of God, a high-throughput conversion device. As for energy, a nuclear fusion reactor, plus energy storage, should be enough. Most importantly, the laws of nature will not allow this outcome to change."

Chapter 205 Insolvency, Start Opening Up

Jiang Ming felt that something was wrong.

This argument seems to be self-contradictory.

"If that's the case, why doesn't Tianli just do it himself? If I remember correctly, he built the thrones of the Seven Gods. The power of the Seven Gods isn't that strong in front of him. Lei Yingdong still firmly believes that Tianli is invincible. Or he could just talk his way out of it. I don't think Ying would dare to object."

"If he can't do anything, how can he guarantee that he won't fail?"

Alice laughed again upon hearing this: "He knew you would ask that."

"However, he didn't tell me the specifics. He only said that if he were to do it, his plan would fail. As for how he can guarantee that your operation won't fail, objectively speaking, he doesn't have that ability now, but you do."

"?"

Jiang Ming didn't quite get it right for a moment.

How can Tianli use the uncertain power in his hands to guarantee certainty?

"This is just my personal guess. The same knife will have different effects in the hands of different people, but the knife must be forged by you and you must be the ones to wield it at least the first time, so that it won't affect the other people's actions."

Alice's tone was equally uncertain.

"In short, he still controls the World Tree and the Heavenly Principles System, as well as those powers. The future is just a possibility of history. This kind of information is far beyond our reach. Perhaps he knows something, but he must have also made his own mistakes."

Who is this?

He assigned tasks to a bunch of people, but failed to explain anything clearly, leaving them to guess.

Teyvats are all riddle-makers, and their emotions are all learned from the laws of nature, right?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Lisa's fate has been changed. As long as she does something for you, the hourglass won't run out. Should I go and invite her for you?"

Is there such a good thing?

He really wanted to see the most outstanding genius the Academy had produced in hundreds of years.

However, first they sent people and technology, and now they are calling in helpers, which has directly changed the fate of countless people, including key figures like Lisa.

"Tenri has made so many arrangements, done so much, and provided so much aid. Judging from what you've said, it must have taken a toll on Tenri as well. So, what was the price?"

For once, Alice, who was usually very talkative, fell silent.

"As far as I know, the Eye of God is also a contract, a contract in which the parties involved do not have the right to know. Using the power of the Eye of God also comes at a corresponding price. And everything I have gained has far exceeded the Eye of God, so what price must I pay?"

He truly couldn't understand what he had that warranted such a huge investment.

Even if you cut off all the parts of his body, he wouldn't be worth this much.

Surely it's not that God is being kind and merciful, is it?

Alice hesitated, her expression shifting several times before finally saying, "I don't know."

"Perhaps you are just part of his plan, just an incidental thing that he doesn't care about, or perhaps there is some other price to pay."

“You know, I can freely enter and exit the borders of Teyvat to travel to other worlds. This is a deal I made with the Sustainer, and it came at a price.”

"At that time, I had just discovered that the boundaries of Teyvat were incredibly fragile. When I tried to force my way through the fragile boundaries to the other world, the Maintainer came. She made a deal with me, giving me the right to come and go freely. But at the same time, I also had to help her gather information and data about the other world, and help her with things when necessary, like now."

“I longed for the scenery beyond this world, but I learned from the Sustainer that forcibly passing through would damage the border and endanger Teyvat. Besides, I was no match for the Sustainer. So, this deal was struck.”

To Jiang Ming, Alice's words, though seemingly unsure, implied that there would indeed be a price to pay, and perhaps a significant one at that.

Perhaps she simply doesn't know what she has to give up, or she can't say it.

Riddlers, it's an old Teyvat tradition.

"I understand."

Jiang Ming replied to Alice.

Since he's already insolvent, he might as well just start operating!

Now that his business has grown so large, millions of people in Inazuma are counting on Umijima Island to make a living, and millions more are looking forward to a better life. Who cares about debt? Since he's already in debt, he might as well hurry up and do more things.

With greater power comes greater responsibility.

He still remembers the workers' past, his conversations with them, and their expectations when the infrastructure construction was in full swing.

Back then, only the best-performing workers got to eat a few bites of fish. They said they wanted to eat more meat in the future, while the workers who didn't get any said they wanted to eat too.

He has now satisfied at least part of their needs.

Having chosen this path and taken this step, he must be responsible to the end and not let those people down.

The invisible hand of history and the wishes of the people are both propelling him forward.

Alice had no idea what Jiang Ming was thinking.

She was only wondering what Jiang Ming had actually figured out.

So, you're a riddle teller too?

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should return to Mondstadt next, then go to the mine in the snowy mountains, and then return to Hera Island. It should take about three days. Please make the necessary arrangements."

Alice had previously said that she would go back to Haizhi Island with him.

The Heart of God, along with a vast amount of equipment needed to mobilize its authority, is all deployed on the Isle of the Sea; the facilities here in Mondstadt have not yet been built.

If we're talking about the place with the best research and development equipment and the most outstanding conditions, then Haizhi Island is undoubtedly the place to be.

Alice had no objection to the arrangement.

I'll spend the next three days with Keli.

Alice handed Jiang Ming a list of required supplies.

A portion of it is Mondstadt's main product, so I'll take this opportunity to talk to Jean.

A few days later, Jiang Ming thought they would return to Haiqi Island by boat, but to his surprise, Alice teleported him back directly.

"Miniature jump engine, kid~"

Alice looked at Jiang Ming, who was lying on the side, dizzy and disoriented, with an amused expression.

This feeling is really unpleasant, like being thrown into a washing machine and spun around for ages.

I felt like I was twisted into a pretzel.

"Is space jumping really that uncomfortable? Those Fools' soldiers seem completely unaffected."

"Teyvat's existing space teleportation technology is based on ley lines, which is much smoother. Moreover, Teyvat's space is actually in a sealed state, so things like jump engines can't be used without permission."

Is this also a masterpiece of divine justice?

Why leave only the teleportation technology based on ley lines?

Chapter 206 A Solution

With Alice joining them, their research progress in related fields accelerated dramatically.

The speed of an explosion on the spot.

Originally, they were limited by their theoretical level and had no clue about it. But after Alice came in, the complete set of theories and designs were laid out on the table. There was also Alice as a teacher who could ask questions at any time, and there were even samples for practical learning.

Furthermore, while Alice is skilled at and enjoys explosions, it doesn't mean that Alice only knows how to create explosions or develop bombs.

She is also a very outstanding all-round researcher, the kind who "knows a thing or two" about everything.

A long lifespan provides the material basis for doing all this.

Moreover, Alice didn't just come alone this time; she brought her own investment and a database with her.

This also includes several super artificial intelligences that were collected from who-knows-where.

Because MOSO had already learned from humans in the loop, the performance of these super AIs was not advanced, and their safety could not be guaranteed. So in the end, they all became food for MOSO.

According to the researchers, MOSO is theoretically more powerful than they envisioned in its full form, especially after Alice replaced it with a quantum computer.

MOSO played a significant role in the research process of Alice and a group of researchers, with the vast majority of experimental data being calculated and simulated using MOSO.

Jiang Ming suddenly felt that Alice was quite similar to the protagonists in those infinite flow novels.

Traveling between different worlds, carrying out missions to gather information, collect usable items, and become either a junk collector or a fun-loving person, and there are also maintainers who can be regarded as a system.

I wonder if, when the truth comes out someday, someone will use Alice as a model to write a novel about countless worlds.

Besides Alice's team, Xavier's team also successfully used the Heart of the Wind God during this period.

With the Heart of the Geo Archon as a precedent, using the Heart of the Anemo Archon is much simpler.

At least in terms of how to invoke these kinds of things, they are experienced and can even follow the example.

The applications they developed for the Heart of the Wind God, besides controlling various gaseous substances, include doubling the power of jet engines and successfully overcoming the wind resistance of hypersonic weapons, among others.

By harnessing the power of the wind, they can create a vacuum around the projectile, allowing it to travel in a vacuum, or make the airflow around it completely uniform, in short, unaffected by wind resistance.

As for things like wind barriers, they already used the Heart of the Geo to create a Geo elemental shield when they used it.

They have made the rock element shield generator as small as a wristwatch and have widely applied it to various military units.

Now, even an ordinary soldier is protected by a rock element shield.

In comparison, the shield made of wind element is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

While Alice and her team were busy tackling technical challenges, Jiang Ming wasn't idle either.

Jiang Ming and Xin Hai were not involved in the research and development work, but they made many extra preparations in order to ultimately achieve this goal.

For example, after Jiang Ming's repeated persuasion, Xin Hai opened the entrance to Yuanxia Palace.

Xin Hai had to put in a lot of effort to properly handle the conflicts between different factions among the priestesses.

After the Abyss Palace was opened, they purged all the demons within it and disposed of some ancient books and related materials that could not be leaked. After that, they started the "three-pronged construction": the large-scale development of the Abyss Palace.
