700 Goodbye (2/2)
At any instant, it could support 40,000 formal musicians who were using movements simultaneously. If the number was exceeded, confusion would occur.
But the statistic only took into account the limit it could withstand on its own.
Actually, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to rely upon on it to withstand all the pressure, or rather, he did not even consider its own bearing capability, and only planned to use it for emergencies.
What would bear the pressure actually would be the instruments of harmonious melody connected to it.
With the addition of each large-scale instrument of harmonious melody, room for 120 more formal musicians could be added to the system. At the same time, the pressure would be shifted downwards all the way to the lowest level, and all users could share the burden together.
The pressure on each person was almost insignificant.
But for every thousand of users added, one more person could be granted master-level permission for the usage of the Net of Aether. If strict control over its usage was implemented, the number could even be doubled.
The operation of the Net of Aether was not something that one could do on one's own, even for one of the three kings.
Meanwhile, what Ye Qingxuan needed to do was to drag more and more people into the same boat as him...
...
Newton was Newton, after all, and one must admit that every detail of the product he produced was perfect, and all of Ye Qingxuan's ideas were realized perfectly. He even went beyond Ye Qingxuan's expectations, and he could identify no problem with it.
Finally, Ye Qingxuan nodded and asked the last question. ”Anything else?”
”Mhmm?” Lola replied questioningly.
”Is there anything else?” asked Ye Qingxuan.
”Do you think that it has any other problems?” Lola smiled.
But Ye Qingxuan didn't smile. He looked at Lola. ”You haven't told me everything, Lola, I can see that — Whenever you put on the airs of a professor, it means that you are preparing to deceive someone. ”
Lola was silent, and her expression became complicated.
After a long time, she said, ”The investigation you requested some time ago has yielded results.
”Your friend, Victor, has died.”
”Mhmm.” Ye Qingxuan kept his head low and said, ”Continue.”
Lola said, ”Our investigators found the ship that he stowed away on. The captain signed a contract with a gold mine in the first colony of Burgundy and sent the stowaways there.
”The people in the mine said that Victor was infected with a lung disease on board the ship and died shortly after arriving.”
Lola placed a paper bag on the table. ”He left this behind.”
”Noted.”
Ye Qingxuan didn't go through the bag. He nodded slightly. ”If there's nothing else, you can go back first, I still have something to continue working on here.”
Lola looked at him, her gaze complicated. After a long time, she got up and left.
The door closed.
In the long silence, the afternoon sunlight passed through the curtains and fell on the table in a slanted manner, shining on the little paper bag.
The paper bag contained a coat of arms.
It was the most valuable thing on Victor. He was always telling others that it was what his father left him, but everyone thought that he stole it from God knew where.
Once, Victor took it in his hand and said to Ye Qingxuan that he would come to success in the future, no longer bow to anyone, and become as dignified as a noble.
Back then, the town of Lute was not big, but it was big enough to contain the childhood of two boys, giving them a place to stay.
But at the moment, the town of Lute was gone.
The post-disaster census team of the ministry of land informed him that the town of Lute had become ruins. It was probably razed to the ground by a Beast Tide when the abyss was broken.
When Ye Qingxuan left the town by ship, he vaguely understood in his heart that it would no longer be a place for him to return to, but he only just discovered that the farewell came too fast.
It was so fast that he was caught off guard.
He closed his eyes tiredly.
”Goodbye, Victor,” he murmured.
