BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
'What?' Kyle thought as Black looked at his Communicator, which was currently telling him that he only had a week left to complete the first task.
'I completely lost track of time!' Kyle thought. 'I've been trying to understand this weird Formation Array for just a moment, but almost an entire year has passed!'
Black looked at the Formation Array with furrowed brows.
'I'm not done looking at it, but I guess I have to go do the next task.'
Kyle activated his Communicator and told it that he was ready for his evaluation. Moments later, the Communicator said that the evaluation was in progress.
DING!
'Task one complete,' Kyle read. 'Guess they don't need to come here personally to check out the Formation Array.'
The Communicator unlocked the file for the second task and gave Kyle access to the next Space Ring. However, he decided to look at the Formation Array for some more time.
'I'm pretty sure that this way of creating Formation Arrays doesn't originate from this Cosmos. Most likely, this technique comes from that other Cosmos. The way this Formation Array is designed is so unnatural that it couldn't have originated from here. In a way, this Formation Array feels more like it's a product of evolution than engineering. It's like it naturally grew to this state instead of being designed.'
'In just a couple of hours, I already found like 1,500 parts that can be improved to make the Formation Array more efficient since there are many unnecessary parts in its design. However, I need to infuse it with Laws to make it work. The earlier design doesn't need any Laws. I guess if you don't have access to Laws, this is the only way to create powerful Formation Arrays.'
'I'm pretty sure that the normal Formation Arrays are strictly better than these weird Formation Arrays, but that doesn't mean that they're useless. As long as you manage to get it working once, you can analyze the result and make changes. It's like breeding an animal to fulfill a certain purpose and then looking at the animal before recreating it as an efficient machine or just adding mechanical parts to it.'
'If I can learn how to make these designs, I could find new Formation Arrays just by trial and error. Might help with research, but I think that's about it. These Formation Arrays don't need Laws, but I have Laws. Their one strength is irrelevant to me while their weaknesses remain.'
'Anyway, let's get to the second task,' Kyle thought as his Avatars looked at the requirements of the second task.
'Oh! That's not too hard,' Kyle thought after reading through the requirements.
The requirements were to create a small part of a complicated set of Formation Arrays that would create an advanced artificial Law Well for Immortal Fire.
Natural Law Wells were essentially just self-sustaining transformation cycles of Energy that revolved around a Law. For example, an Immortal Fire Law Well created several tiny flames that mimicked life, which combined into greater flames to create something like a multi-celled organism but with fire. The fires had such a high Energy Density that they pulled in enough Energy to refill the Energy they were using to stay alive.
Simple Artificial Law Wells created these same effects with the help of Formation Arrays and Energy Sources.
Complex Artificial Law Wells were much harder to create and maintain. These Law Wells showed different aspects of the Law separately. These Law Wells had individual displays, allowing Seekers to look at specific parts of the Law without having to filter out unnecessary background noise.
