In a secret storehouse of the Moyi religion, Ye Zan discovered a reduced version of the teleportation circle. Although to him, teleportation circle is not a rare thing. However, this teleportation circle, which is only the size of a washbasin, is enough to arouse his curiosity.

You must know that although the teleportation array is magical, the size of the object to be transferred will still be affected by the size of the array. To put it bluntly, the entire array can't hold you, so how can it be possible to wrap you with an array for teleportation.

So far, the teleportation circles that Ye Zan has seen can be said to be conventional teleportation circles, and basically several people can enter the teleportation circle together. Giants like Ye Zan's war fortress cannot use these conventional teleportation circles at all. Unless the conventional teleportation circle is expanded thousands of times to fully accommodate the war fortress. But in that case, not to mention the construction cost, the amount of spirit stones consumed by the teleportation method alone would definitely be an astronomical figure.

But now, the teleportation circle in front of Ye Zan can be regarded as a teleportation circle. This teleportation array is only the size of a washbasin, and the sixteen columns have been reduced to four, and they are all like rolling pins. Such a teleportation circle, let alone a normal adult, cannot be used normally even by a child.

Therefore, this small teleportation circle is not so much a teleportation circle as it is more like a miniature model of a teleportation circle.

However, Ye Zan did not believe that this reduced version of the teleportation circle would be an ordinary model. If it is just a model, no matter how lifelike it is made, it is meaningless to ascetics. Even though this secret library is used to store "useless things", it is not enough to put models in it.

In the face of Ye Zan's question, Elder Yu's expression also proved Ye Zan's conjecture, and he said helplessly in his tone: "To tell you the truth, fellow daoists, don't think this teleportation circle is small. But it is also a genuine teleportation circle. This is a teleportation circle specially used for transporting items that a senior I taught, based on the inheritance of the teleportation circle, made it by himself.

"It's really a teleportation circle, and it can also teleport items!" Ye Zan's interest in this small teleportation circle suddenly increased a bit after hearing this.

You know, in the technological world, although the transmission of information is very advanced, the logistics of freight has never changed. The so-called instant transmission of items through the network combined with 3D printing technology is actually just a trick. Moreover, in the transportation of large quantities of goods, 3D printing will not play any practical role.

It is precisely because of this that so many interstellar pirate groups are "supported" because of the large quantities of goods that require interstellar transportation. It is also because of this that Ye Zan's extra-dimensional space storage technology is called an "epoch-making invention".

Using the extra-dimensional space storage technology, you only need to store the goods in the extra-dimensional space, and then send the "key" to the destination, and you can take out the goods at the destination. This mode of transportation can be said to reduce the risk of long-distance transportation to an infinitely close to zero level. After all, the "key" only needs to be carried by one person, and a person is much smaller than the goal of a cargo ship.

However, this method of transportation can only be regarded as hiding the goods, which is completely different from long-distance instant transmission.

In this world, although information transmission is backward, the transmission of people and objects already exists. However, after the collapse of the world, some inheritances were more or less lost, which led to the almost loss of transmission technology. This is why, when Ye Zan first came to this world, he had hardly heard of the news of the teleportation circle.

Of course, the conventional teleportation circle can also be used to teleport items in addition to people and other living creatures. However, the conventional teleportation circle is difficult to move once it is put down, and the teleportation items can be regarded as "express self-pickup points" at best. In addition, the "cost" of conventional teleportation circles is high,

It is almost impossible to say who owns it alone.

Not to mention anything else, even if you own a teleportation circle by yourself, the spirit stones consumed for each teleportation will probably be a huge burden.

In addition, due to the "cost" of conventional teleportation circles, even in the ancient times before the collapse of heaven and earth, the distribution of teleportation circles was not very dense. After all, for ascetics, the teleportation circle is more of a "long-distance transportation" tool. If the distance to travel is not very far, instead of consuming spirit stones to teleport, it is better to fly directly there.

Ye Zan once thought about whether there is any way to move the teleportation circle, or even carry the teleportation circle with him. However, he didn't know much about the teleportation circles himself, and he still relied on tricks to win those teleportation circles. It wasn't until he got the Moyi religion's inheritance of the teleportation circle from Ye Ping'an that he had the capital to realize his idea.

However, before Ye Zan had time to study the inheritance of the teleportation circle, he encountered such a reduced teleportation circle here. The senior of the Moyi religion probably had a similar idea to him, so he researched and refined such a teleportation circle.

Ye Zan picked up the pocket version of the teleportation circle, looked at it carefully, and praised: "It can be made so compact, it can be seen that the senior of your teaching has a deep understanding of the inheritance of the teleportation circle."

You know, many things don't mean that if you scale it down, it can still retain its original function. In particular, many things in this world are not operated by machinery. If they are enlarged, they will be big clocks, or if they are zoomed out, they will be small watches. Things in this world, such as the teleportation array, besides involving the array, also use the power of the Dao to achieve long-distance teleportation.

Therefore, those who can refine this pocket version of the teleportation circle, their understanding of the teleportation circle is not limited to "shape", but has really penetrated into the realm of "meaning". It can be said that although the other side refined the pocket version of the teleportation circle, although it referred to the principle of the genuine teleportation circle, there must be a lot of innovations of its own in it.

However, upon hearing Ye Zan's admiration, the helpless look on Elder Yu's face obviously deepened, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Wuji, although this teleportation circle can teleport items, the actual effect of using it is still up to you. Don't expect too much. If it weren't for this, how could my teacher leave it here."

Indeed, as I said earlier, the secret library that Ye Zan was brought to was actually the place where the Moyi Cult stored "useless things". Although the things here can't be regarded as real garbage, the actual use value is by no means high.

Therefore, since this pocket teleportation circle will be left here by the Moyi Sect, it will definitely not be as perfect as Ye Zan thought.

"Oh, I don't know much about the teleportation circle, but I don't see any problem with it. If Elder Yu doesn't mind, can I explain it to you?" Ye Zan held the teleportation circle and asked Yu very curiously. The elder asked for advice.

Elder Yu reached out to take the teleportation circle, held it in his palm to look at it, and said, "To tell you the truth, this teleportation circle, the intention of that senior to refine it in the first place was actually to make it easier to transport things. After all, it is indeed a troublesome thing to send people to travel hundreds of millions of miles in order to deliver something. It's just a pity that this teleportation circle may have some flaws in its design. One is that the teleported items are easy to lose, and the other One is that it can only be used a limited number of times."

Elder Yu didn't hold back, and told Ye Zan clearly about the teleportation circle in a few words. After all, their Moyi religion is about to form an alliance with Yu Qingzong, so they can't pretend to be ignorant and use defective products to deceive people. What's more, there are many things in this secret vault, and it is not necessary to use these things to repay Ye Zan's gift.

When Ye Zan heard this explanation, he frowned slightly, and said, "Things are easy to lose, and there is a limit on the number of times. This is indeed a problem."

Since it is specially used to transfer items, losing things is a very serious problem. If you only send some worthless things, then you may not care too much if you lose them. But the problem is, since they all use the teleportation circle to send things, the value of the things will definitely not be much worse. It's like, there is absolutely no need to use SF Express for nine yuan and nine free shipping, because the value of that item is not enough for the express fee.

Then, in addition to being easy to lose things, this teleportation circle also has a limit on the number of times it can be used. That said, the few times you send something with it, maybe half of it gets lost. As a result, before you can find it to settle accounts, it has already refused to serve you. Damn, it's no wonder that such an overbearing courier will be thrown into the "garbage dump".

However, despite the serious problems with this thing, Ye Zan's interest in it has not diminished.

You know, Ye Zan has already obtained the inheritance of the teleportation circle from Ye Ping'an. Therefore, when he studies those things thoroughly, it may be possible to repair the defects of the teleportation circle. If he really perfected this pocket teleportation circle, he might be able to use it as a basis to start a logistics industry in this world.

Of course, the Moyi religion has the inheritance of the teleportation circle, and it has not been able to perfect this thing, which shows that this is not an easy task. However, in Ye Zan's view, the Moyi religion did not do it. In fact, the bigger reason is that it did not really pay attention to its usefulness.

This is actually not surprising, after all, from the point of view of the Moyi religion, this kind of thing specially used to transfer items is really not very useful. Anyway, before this thing, everyone delivered things in person or entrusted others, and the days passed like this.

It's like, before Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission, no one felt that it was necessary to change the communication method. In fact, many of today's applications on communication networks were born after the existence of communication networks. It's not that people were so hungry and thirsty before, and they were released all of a sudden with the communication network.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the communication network actually makes people rely on it, rather than solving people's original needs.

For example, communication was inconvenient in the past. Everyone communicated by letter, and it took a long time to go back and forth. But at that time, people often wrote everything about themselves for such a long time in one letter.

With the Tongxi network, people split a letter that may have been written for half a year into every day or even every minute and every second. So, everyone is chatting in real time, talking about things that happen every moment, as if writing letters was so primitive before.

And there is another problem, that is, when I wrote letters before, many irrelevant things were not mentioned. After all, the capacity of letter paper is also limited, and it is impossible for people to have so much experience. However, after having a communication network, people began to chat about everything, trivial things can be chatted for a long time.

The same is true for item transmission. When there is no item transmission, people may not have so many things to send. Only when item transmission becomes popular and becomes a part of people's life, people may feel that they cannot do without it. I had something that I could have sent or not, but because it was convenient, I sent it directly, and it didn't take much anyway.

On the side of the Moyi religion, although some people have developed this pocket-sized teleportation circle, due to various problems, it has not been widely popularized. This makes the people of the Moyi religion still maintain their original habits, and naturally they don't pay much attention to this thing. Maybe in their view, there are not so many things, and they must be delivered to others without delay. If they really need to be delivered, they can deliver them in person.

However, unlike the people of the Moyi religion, Ye Zan is not from this world, and is still influenced by the world of technology as a habit. Although there is no item delivery technology in the technological world, express delivery on the planet is already very convenient. Although Ye Zan himself didn't rely much on express delivery, but because of that experience, he knows how much this thing affects people's lives.

Ye Zan thought for a while, and said to Elder Yu: "Well, since that's the case, then I will choose this thing."

Elder Yu told Ye Zan about the teleportation circle, thinking that Ye Zan was not interested in this thing anymore, and was about to put the teleportation circle back to its original place. Hearing Ye Zan's sudden utterance, he thought there was something wrong with his ears, and immediately asked in puzzlement, "What did fellow Daoist say?"

"I mean, if your teacher doesn't mind, I'll choose this one first." Ye Zan repeated the words, but in order to confirm the other party's attitude, he still added a test.

After all, this thing is also a teleportation circle, which will involve the inheritance of the teleportation circle mastered by the Moyi Sect. In case, if the other party is worried that the inheritance will be lost, they may not be willing to give this thing to Ye Zan.

However, Ye Zan was worried in vain. After hearing this, Elder Yu immediately shook his head and said, "Of course I don't mind."
