"Where's my poop?"
"Where's that giant pile of poop?"
Tang Li suddenly realized that all the excrement, domestic waste, and impurities like sweat and dust that she had previously placed at the edge of her space had vanished!
"Does the space shrink and consume the things within the shrinking portion?"
Tang Li had thought more than once about how great it would be if she could remove excrement, domestic waste, and impurities from her space.
But before, Tang Li had never considered how to remove things from her space.
After all, the space was currently ample, so there was no need to research how to remove things from it.
However, suddenly, Tang Li realized that she might have found a way to remove substances from her space!
"But removing things from the space by shrinking it feels too passive. Can it be removed actively?"
This led to the second question Tang Li was exploring today – can things within the space be removed actively? And can they be restored after removal?
Coincidentally, Tang Li had previously stored her home sofa, bed, and old clothes in her space.
While these items were useful, they weren't absolutely essential.
So, Tang Li moved the sofa in her space towards the edge and kept sending it out.
Tang Li discovered that when items in the space touched the edge, they encountered a slight resistance, but were not completely blocked. Instead, they could be sent out.
While sending the sofa outwards, Tang Li also felt that the speed at which the space was expanding was accelerating!
Tang Li immediately realized that by bringing some useless items from the outside into the space and sending them to the edge, she could speed up the space's expansion!
She had already learned that empty space was equivalent to supplies, and when a certain type of supply was replicated in large quantities, it consumed this empty space.
And now, with the space's expansion speed being able to accelerate, more empty space could be generated, allowing for the replication of more supplies in large quantities!
This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for Tang Li.
With this ability, she could collect all sorts of unusable items from others, such as scrap metal, leftover or spoiled food (swill), corpses, and excrement…
By taking these items into her space, using them to expand the space, and then using the expanded space to replicate useful supplies in large quantities, she could turn waste into treasure!
Tang Li also discovered that the quantity, quality, and energy of the materials removed from the space's edge affected the speed at which the space expanded.
Furthermore, when the space stopped expanding due to mass replication of supplies, removing items from the space could shorten the recovery time.
If a significant amount was removed, it could even directly cause the space to resume expansion.
These naturally were related to the quantity, quality, and energy of the replicated supplies, as well as the quantity, quality, and energy of the removed items. She wouldn't elaborate further.
During her experiments, Tang Li found that if an item was removed halfway and then pulled back, the removed portion would not recover, and the break was smooth and clean.
This ability would allow Tang Li to open unopenable safes in the future by simply placing them in her space and removing a portion.
Upon learning that items in her space could be actively removed and that this could also accelerate the space's expansion, Tang Li proceeded to experiment whether removed items could be restored.
Coincidentally, the sofa she was currently sitting on was the one she had replicated from her space and had just removed from it.
Tang Li stood up and put the sofa back into her space.
The sofa reappeared in her space.
Although it couldn't be restored to its original state, it hadn't disappeared either.
Tang Li was satisfied and wanted to replicate the sofa again.
As a result, this time, after the sofa exited the space, the sofa within the space vanished.
"So, items replicated by the space can no longer be replicated?"
After multiple experiments, Tang Li finally confirmed that items replicated by the space, once placed back into the space, could only be stored there and could no longer be replicated.
However, items replicated from the space, after being removed, could also speed up the space's expansion.
This might be because the space consumed its expansion speed when replicating items.
If the original item was still in the space, the replica would disappear upon being stored back, and the space's expansion speed would be replenished.
If the original item was gone, then the replica would not immediately disappear upon being stored back, nor would it replenish the space's expansion speed. However, after being actively removed, it could still replenish the space's expansion speed.
With this knowledge, Tang Li could be considered to have mastered the advanced usage of her space.
At the same time, she was contemplating whether to collaborate with the authorities using this ability.
