Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

"The Holy Grail's driving force is the beautiful wishes of the person in the 'Pinocchoni' dream and their desire for those wishes to be fulfilled."

"Changes to the ritual cannot extend the duration of the Holy Grail ritual; in other words, the Heroic Spirits' existence time remains two weeks."

"Stephen and I collaborated on modifications to the 'Holy Grail Ritual,' leaning more towards expansion than energy conservation or ending its return."

"Let more ambitious and aspiring people enter 'Pinocone' and immerse themselves in the dream world, providing more power sources for the 'Holy Grail'."

"It may be possible to extend the Holy Grail War rituals for a period of time."

Lin Yi nodded, indicating that he understood. In that case, it made sense that "Pinocchio" couldn't be cleared; not only could it not be cleared, but people would have to be added.

Lin Yi: "Companies have plenty of people like that. Just ask the company for them. Zhu Xing and Dongfang Qiqing can handle the pickup and other miscellaneous arrangements..."

Lin Yi suddenly realized: "I understand, the company wants us to reveal some information? It seems they haven't disclosed anything about that gold dust."

Screw Gum: "Exactly, the company knows nothing about why we've gathered here."

"Our big moves have made the company somewhat uneasy."

Lin Yi: "It's understandable."

Screw Gumm: "So, should we reveal some information to 'Interstellar Peace Corporation'?"

It is understood that Mr. Dongfang Qixing, a lifetime honorary director of "Interstellar Peace Company," had a cooperative relationship with the "Silent Lord."

"Even if Mr. Dongfang Qixing does not disclose it, this may still increase the risk of the experiment."

Unexpectedly, it seems that the gold mine did not disclose anything to the company, leaving the company completely unaware.

Or perhaps he gave Diamond some information, but Diamond didn't disclose it to the board of directors in order to protect the placer gold?

However, that was not important. Sand Gold did not know what they were researching, only that they were studying the heroic spirits summoned by the "Holy Grail War" concocted by Old Emperor.

Currently, the "Asidena Starfield" is shrouded by a barrier erected by the main star, "Shenxiao Space City", and "Black Tower City".

Polkaokamu theoretically has no way of knowing what happened inside.

All she knew was that a large group of them had gathered together.

The question now is whether or not to disclose some information to the company?

How much should I reveal?

And most importantly, should we further strengthen our contingency plans to deal with Polka Oka's disruptive behavior?

Lin Yi: "We can reveal a little bit to the company to put their minds at ease. As for the reasons for the research... just make them up."

"For example, a method was discovered to bring back to life those who have accomplished great feats and left their names in history through heroic spirits."

"Then we're trying to revive some genius or something, which is reasonable and within the bounds of the law, so we can get by for now."

"Then promise the company some technical support or something, and that should be about right."

"In other words, time was tight, we couldn't figure out Kakamo's attitude, and we didn't have time to figure it out, plus we didn't have time to play with Kakamo slowly..."

Chapter 400 Since ancient times, spearmen have always been lucky (E).

If Kakamo only wants to join after finding out, that's fine; it's just one more person sharing the profits.

But if she's a die-hard... the strategic goals of both sides are not aligned, and it would be too easy for her to sabotage the experiment.

Three days later, a large number of passionate, ambitious employees who had not yet had their passion worn down by the corporate culture and performance appraisals and had become resigned to their fate entered the dream of "Pinocconi".

Their sincere and intense desire for promotion and salary increases, for vacations, and for earning countless credits truly provided a continuous source of energy for the "Holy Grail."

Unfortunately, while this can indeed infuse the Holy Grail with miracles, it cannot prolong the duration of the Holy Grail ritual.

Screw Gum: "I bring you regrettable news. A large number of company employees have entered the dream, and their wishes and desires for success have been incorporated into the 'Holy Grail Ritual,' bringing a continuous flow of wish power to the Holy Grail."

"This greatly raised the ceiling for the Holy Grail miracles. However, it failed to delay the end of the Holy Grail War rituals."

"Speculation: A war similar to the Holy Grail War exists in another world, influenced by some unknown force that is currently unobservable."

"The main body of the Holy Grail War in another world resonated with the Holy Grail of Ortega."

"Could this fourteen-day maximum Holy Grail War cycle be due to some kind of tradition? Therefore, after the traditional period is exceeded, the Heroic Spirits will be forcibly recalled because their resonance is no longer present?"

"The above are all speculations. We can only correct the Holy Grail here, but we have no power to interfere with the other side—the affiliation of Heroic Spirits."

Lin Yi understood what Sluggum meant. After all that trouble, they had raised the upper limit of the Holy Grail. Now the Holy Grail could indeed be used to make some not-too-outrageous wishes.

However, it does not benefit the prolongation of the "Holy Grail War" process itself.

But Lin Yi and his group don't need the Holy Grail to make a wish!

Screw Gum: "There's also good news. During the alteration of the 'Holy Grail War' ritual, we successfully replaced the original Holy Grail with Lady Mana's ritual Holy Grail."

"Relying on the unique nature of the ritual Grail, and supplemented by some technologies derived from the 'Garden of Radiant Memories,' we are able to generate incantations in bulk, gaining absolute 'dominance' over research on Heroic Spirits."

The special feature of the ritual chalice is simple: it has been marinated by Manas for a long time and has acquired some of Manas's roguish characteristics.

The so-called production incantation is simply a mimicry of the form the incantation took when it was not used, after a single incantation has been applied.

It's like an unlimited water tank with a limited flow rate (maximum of three taps at the same time).

Screw Gum: "The unlimited use of Command Seals has greatly accelerated Ms. Ruan Mei's experimental progress."

"At the same time, the Holy Grail that was replaced also helped Ms. Ruan Mei's experiment to some extent."

Lin Yi: "It seems that Ruan Mei's progress is also quite promising, which is good news~"

Stephen is currently helping Nguyen Mai solve the light cone problem.

Screw Gumme was there to help Black Tower and Chadwick refine the imaginary number model used in this research.

Three more days passed, during which the information barrier surrounding "Ascena" was interfered with and invaded once by an unknown source, but was blocked by Screwgoom.

The intruder then stopped making any further moves, as if it had just been testing the waters.

Lin Yi and Abis discussed how to blow it up and put it into practice.

Peel off the entire Pinocchio, leaving only a small portion intact, and fry it piece by piece.

As long as the isolation is clear, just cover it with a filter membrane that filters out spatial turbulence.

Lin Yi usually conducts precise space research, especially when he was tinkering with "Phase Walker" in the past, and inevitably some "minor accidents" will happen.

When you fry too much food, a membrane that filters out spatial turbulence naturally comes into being.

This filter membrane is essentially a special spatial structure composed of a high-energy jet and an artificial large gravitational field.

Lin Yi's first target was the "Asdna Grand Theatre," where the Holy Grail was located at the start of the Holy Grail War.

But the most likely place is actually fine.

After Lin Yi and Abyss finished blowing up the structures, the dream builders of "Pinocchio" rushed to repair them. Then Lin Yi and Abyss went to blow up other places, and the dream builders continued to repair them after that.

It's okay if we can't fix it all, we have outside help.

Lin Yi made a trip to "Liuguang Yiting" and borrowed some memories.

Still can't fix it? No problem, just make do with something passable, as long as you can stand in it.

Consider this a limited-time trial of the battle-damaged theme; we'll plan and rebuild gradually later.

Finally, six subtle anomalies were identified.

A quick comparison revealed that they were all locations where the Master summoned the Servant.

Then it's easy to deduce that there's a seventh one.

So, Pam and Misha, who had been catching up for an unusually long time, were asked to leave temporarily.

Then Lin Yi blew up a section of the "Starry Sky Train" to confirm that there was indeed a seventh abnormal node there.

The price was that Pam's goodwill was completely wiped out, and Pam almost picked up a broom and fought Lin Yi to the death.

Another day passed, the seventh day. Ruan Mei successfully deciphered the light cone about another universe that Lin Yi urgently needed from Lancer.

The constant use of incantations greatly accelerated this process.

Of course, there was a price to pay.

Lancer was unlucky and encountered an experimental accident with an extremely low probability.

An unexpected ripple disrupted Ruan Mei's experiment.

As a result, Lancer was unable to recover his Heroic Spirit form and returned prematurely without the Battle Continue effect taking effect.

One of the three precious samples was lost.

But it was precisely Lancer's return that allowed Lin Yi's tracing process to leap forward significantly. Following Lancer's return, the corresponding algorithm was initially completed.

At the same time, Lancer regression affects imaginary numbers.

We helped Chadwick complete a "temporary imaginary model" that could be used for this tracing.

As for why it's temporary...

This is, of course, because a truly complete imaginary number model cannot be derived.

Chadwick was indeed an expert on imaginary numbers, but he was a genius, not a polymath.

The original imaginary number model was developed by Zandal, the "Genius Club" #1.

Later, #2 Hanard Ponch rejected and revised Zandal's imaginary number model.

Later, there were continuous revisions, until the imaginary number model was greatly modified during the reign of Lilta in #22.

Then came the constant negation and revision.

Until #57 Elijah Salas completely refuted and disproved the hypothesis of a single "tree of imaginary numbers".

Later on, there was no further progress in the imaginary number model, only occasional speculations about the sea that seemed to come from nowhere.

Chapter 401 An Expert in the Realm of Imaginary Numbers

Compared to tangible, imaginary numbers, the sea is far more ethereal and intangible.

The ethereal ocean, in the grand scheme of things, is less believable than a fool's joke.

Black Tower: "These are all past studies on the imaginary number model. People in the past focused too much on imaginary numbers and knew nothing about the invisible sea."

Elijah Salaz was the first to observe and utilize the effects of the sea.

"This was just speculation before, but it was only after we triggered the arrangements left by that old man during the gathering in the 'Banquet Dimension' and took over his legacy there that we became certain."

Black Tower: "Nothing important happened after that...until I—the great Lady Black Tower—unraveled the mystery of the overflow of imaginary numbers."

"The phenomenon of imaginary number overflow is also caused by the effect of the sea."

"This has determined the size of the sea to some extent."

"Then Lin Yi suddenly appeared, standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, with a broad vision, and used his imaginative and leaping ideas to put forward the binary opposition between trees and the sea."

Chadwick: "It seems that Ms. Black Tower has a very high opinion of Mr. Lin Yi."

Black Tower: "He's a genius without the flaws that geniuses usually have...you know what I mean..."

Chadwick: "The Boundaries of the Learned One—"

Black Tower remained silent, which was tantamount to admitting that sooner or later it would destroy the giant machine head of Boshizun.

Black Tower: "Getting back to the point, Lin Yi once wanted to ask me to do in-depth research and deduction together with him, using the Tree Sea system as an example."

"I took a look! Hey~ Isn't this just a modified version of the simple manuscript I used to solve the mystery of imaginary number overflow? The modification is incredibly audacious; how come I didn't think of it back then—"

"I did become interested and wanted to try with him to see if we could prove its authenticity and stamp this hypothesis of the Tree Sea system with the mark of 'universal truth.'"

"But if I may be frank, that model of the sea of ​​trees is already quite complete and bold. If you say it's right, you can't find any evidence to support it; if you say it's wrong, you can't find any points to refute it."

"My research with Lin Yi has never been able to get to the heart of the matter, and there has been no fundamental breakthrough. We can only add some details to the hypothesis of the sea of ​​trees that anyone can add, which is insignificant."

"The most fundamental question remains unresolved—why can't we observe a sea whose volume is equivalent to the tree of imaginary numbers?"

"If the sea really exists, this is extremely illogical!"

"Lin Yi has put forward two guesses: either we are at the top of the tree, too far from the sea, and the dense 'branches and leaves' (the world and imaginary numbers) block our ability to observe."

"Hmm, if we add the blockade imposed by the Venerable Master Boshi, it would be almost enough."

Hei Ta continued with the second conjecture: "Either we are actually in the root system of a tree, and our so-called destiny is that root system that draws from the sea. Just as fish cannot perceive water because they are in water, we... are also drowning in the sea."

"But compared to rootless, drifting leaves, the root system is quite different?"
