As Charlie began to speculate that the ring Maria gave him might have originally belonged to this place, he suddenly remembered the ring’s function.

We don’t know yet if there are any other features.

However, this object has one definite function: after recognizing its owner, it will transport its owner back to the person they miss most when the owner is in mortal danger.

In other words, this device is meant to save lives. Even if someone suffers a very serious injury, it at least allows them to return and visit their closest relatives.

Based on my previous speculation, if at that time it was indeed necessary to send out a large number of cultivators, such as worker ants, to search for cultivation resources throughout the world, then equipping everyone with such a ring would be absolutely necessary.

After all, going out to search for such valuable resources is inherently risky, as it could attract the attention of other cultivators who might harbor malicious intentions. With this ring, even if one cannot win the fight, one can at least escape, providing a safety net for everyone.

Therefore, when the ring is out in the open, there is no visible marking; the serial number will only appear when the ring returns to base.

The fact that this item has a serial number likely indicates that the ring isn’t private property at all, but rather communal property. Furthermore, such an asset isn’t for everyone; it’s like a weapon issued only to soldiers. Anyone in this position has the opportunity to use it. Once returned, the serial number will automatically appear, further facilitating centralized management.

This ring is numbered 2804. Perhaps at that time, there were thousands of monks serving as worker ants, each wearing the same ring, traveling to various parts of the world to carry out dangerous missions.

If this conjecture is correct, then there is another problem that Charlie has not been able to solve.

Take this square pagoda, for example. The wood used in it is of the highest quality, hard-to-find, even at high prices on the market. One of its beams, over ten meters long, was carved from a single piece of golden nanmu wood.

How did those cultivators transport them here through the teleportation array?

Could it be that they brought a piece or two of high-quality wood with them every time they teleported through the teleportation array?

This place was only about a hundred square meters in size. If nine people from the teleportation array arrived at the same time, each carrying two logs ten or even tens of meters long, this place wouldn’t be able to accommodate them all!

Additionally, transporting several logs at once by hand seems less efficient.

Thinking of this, Charlie couldn’t help but stare at the ring in his hand and muttered to himself, “The teleportation array is like an efficient means of transportation for cultivators who act like worker ants, and the ring is like an efficient means of survival for them. In this case, they should be lacking an efficient means of transportation. It doesn’t seem to fit their strong cultivation foundation for a group of skilled cultivators to carry wood and stones to teleport.”

“Furthermore, the cultivators of that era were so powerful that they even surpassed modern technology. Since they had the ability to construct teleportation arrays, it meant they had broken through the limitations of three-dimensional space. The theoretical basis of teleportation arrays is that the shortest distance between two points is no longer a straight line, but rather the shortest distance between the two points overlapping. They used teleportation arrays to create a four-dimensional channel between two points in three-dimensional space, by superimposing the two points in three-dimensional space from a higher dimension. In this way, they could achieve instantaneous movement between the two teleportation arrays.”

“Since they were able to create a four-dimensional space, they should also be able to create a four-dimensional space specifically for storage, right? In that era, they had to transport a huge amount of supplies, especially large materials like stone and wood. Without storage space, it would be incredibly inconvenient! Only by having a portable four-dimensional space could they efficiently and quickly collect all kinds of supplies and transport them to the underground city in Antarctica!”

Thinking of this, Charlie examined the ring with the number 2804 on it and muttered softly, “If I were the one designing this ring, since I’ve already integrated a teleportation array into it, I would definitely integrate a four-dimensional space into it as well. I would add a four-dimensional space array to this ring to store various resources. This way, everyone sent out to gather resources wouldn’t be alone, but would be part of a transport team. They could transport a large amount of resources back to headquarters through the teleportation array. Whether it’s tens of meters of wood, thousands of tons of stone, or precious spiritual stones containing Qi, they could all be easily transported through the storage space.”

He rubbed the engraved number 2804 on the ring, muttering to himself, “I wonder if the experts of the past had the same thoughts as me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm sensation suddenly emerged from the ring on his finger, and then a mental cultivation mantra appeared in his mind in an instant.

Charlie didn’t know what the purpose of this Mental Cultivation Technique was, but based on his trust in this place, he immediately recited the Mental Cultivation Technique in his mind without hesitation.

In the next instant, his consciousness suddenly found itself in a strange space. This space was so strange that it resembled a three-dimensional model built on 3D design software. Although the model’s size was fixed, the software’s space could theoretically expand infinitely. You could scale it down so that the space completely filled the screen, or you could desperately enlarge it so that the screen space would shrink infinitely until only a single pixel remained, invisible to the naked eye.

Or perhaps, this is a chaotic universe, the size of which is unknown to anyone, with only one area that has been explored before us, surrounded by darkness and emptiness.

This space existed in darkness and emptiness, with no clear boundaries, no doors or windows, no floor or ceiling. All it possessed was light coming from who knows where, evenly and perfectly distributed, like a shadowless lamp on an operating table, making this explored space clearly visible, without any shadows.

How big is this room actually?

Charlie couldn’t measure it with his own consciousness, but he saw a large amount of inventory in this room.

Among them, more than sixty Hainan rosewood logs, with their roots and branches removed, were neatly stacked. Their thickness was barely distinguishable, and their lengths were deliberately cut to the same specifications. Charlie estimated from the creases in the bark and the proportion of the knots that these Hainan rosewood logs were at least forty meters long and over one meter, almost two meters wide.

Nowadays, where can you find a Hainan Huanghuali tree that grows over 25 meters tall? Even 20 meters is considered rare. This Hainan Huanghuali tree, with its top and bottom pruned, has a mature trunk that reaches 40 meters in length.

Moreover, their number is more than sixty!

If you randomly pick one of these, Hainan rosewood collectors from all over the world will probably be very enthusiastic.

These Hainan rosewood trees occupy only a small portion of the room’s volume. The room is at least twice as long as the Hainan rosewood trees, six or seven times as wide as the triangular pile of wood they are arranged in, and at least twice as tall.
