1307 Can I Merge Them?
“If I followed the same pattern, then the fine gold grade bones would cover up an area of one hundred mile radius, and would keep running for around ten days up to two weeks. As for the dark gold bones, they’d cover up a few hundred miles and last for almost two weeks to one month.”
If I thought about using my black, red, or even diamond grade bones, then I could just expect much more results than these. But I’d never waste my precious high end bones for just protecting these places.
Such bones would be left to use at crucial moments, when the fate of the entire war would be decided.
[Thanks man, I truly appreciate all this help] I honestly said. Even if he kept trying to persuade me to focus only on one place, he still gave me valuable intel.
If not, then by the hard way I’d end up learning about the scary nature of these enemies. At the same time, I’d still be powerless against them.
It’d never cross my mind to use my bones to compete with them. And under no circumstances I’d never have thought about that way which he sent over to me next.
The way was simple in fact, but it was still quite hard to come up with. It used five different arrays that overlapped over each other and ended up augmenting their effects using my bones.
The five arrays took the shape of stars, overlapping over each other, while my bones would be buried under the ground in the spots of these star heads.
These arrays expanded over an area of a hundred metre in radius, and they had to use the blood of the one who was going to control these arrays.
The blood would be left over the bones before getting buried. And that meant there must be someone standing in the middle of such arrays, not moving an inch, and controlling this array.
I couldn’t tell what other benefits these arrays had. And I planned to start experimenting over these and get to know more about their usages.
Silverlining said that these arrays just augment the defences against the Silence race attacks and weaken the Silence race in return.
But when I looked up at the data he sent, I noticed that the higher the grade of the bones used, the more the boost of the defences became. Also the weakening effect would also increase.
The highest was the silver grade bones, as these would augment the defences for fifty percent against the attacks of the Silence race. They also weakened them by fifty percent.
That meant if I used the higher grade bones, like the dark gold for example, the defensive boost would increase up to eighty percent and so the weakening effect.
“I need to test this out before deciding anything,” I knew this might look awesome, but I doubted that by using silver grade bones things would look good.
The only regret is that I lacked any of these Silence races around, or else I’d test the effects of using different types of bones before deciding which type of bones I should use.
I started first by examining my bone reserves. I got tons of bones up to fine gold grade. As for the dark gold grade, I got a few tens of millions of them.
That figure would decrease drastically the higher the grade of the bone became. So trying to use any bone higher than the dark gold grade was going to be quite difficult.
“Hmm… I got twenty zones, and each spanned for one million miles… If I used the dark gold grade bones, and they remained for one month, and they covered up to three hundred miles, then I’d use around four million pieces of bones to cover up the entire area.”
So if I wanted to cover up the entire twenty zones with my bones, then I’d need around eighty million of the dark gold bones.
pA n,dan(-)0ve1.c0m I might swap this easily with fine gold, or even silver grade bones. But in return, the effects other lower bones yielded would be much lower than the dark gold bones.
When I looked again at my inventory, I doubted I had enough to cover up my needs. At most I’d have around fifty up to sixty million dark gold bones inside.
“Hmm… If I can merge two arrays together and make their effects overlap and merge, then by spending double the silver grade bones, I can weaken the strength of that race by almost one hundred percent…”
I kept thinking of my options here. I knew Silverlining told me most, if not all, of what he already knew.
But I also knew the Toranks, and any other race who was fortunate enough to get my bones, didn’t have the ability to experiment a lot using my bones.
Such actions would be considered extravagant in their eyes. Yet to me it was nothing.
If I didn’t make use of my endless bone supply of such lower tiered bones, then I’d be considered a fool.
In theory, such a thing would work. The method itself used overlapping arrays that augmented each one’s power.
I didn’t know why the one who devised such a genius idea didn’t try to increase the number of bones used, or add more stars over the five ones he planned in this method.
I might try and experiment on this too. But for a reason, I felt this wasn’t going to work.
If there was such a possibility, then the inventor of such theory would have thought about this. Using the fixed number of one hundred bones each time even with the increase in the bone grade meant there was some sort of balance that had to be reached using that number.
My only option that held a high percentage of success was the attempt to use two arrays combined to cover up the same region.
Even if merging the two arrays together failed, I could try to use different anchor points for the two arrays and try to make them overlap slightly at parts of their regions.
