Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

In particular, 'imaginary internal energy', as a clean energy source, is not only far more efficient than ordinary energy sources, but also incredibly versatile, and its safety is also well guaranteed.

However, because only he and the "Doctor" are currently researching 'imaginary internal energy', this energy is not currently available on the market until winter.

Although a slight mishap occurred on the "Doctor's" side, based on the "Doctor's" assurance and his ability to generate "imaginary internal energy," he still firmly believed that "imaginary internal energy" was a very safe and useful energy source.

So after thinking for a moment, Pantalone, having obtained his answer, pondered for a while and then looked at Sandone and asked.

Have you ever tried... using 'imaginary internal energy'?

Upon hearing the term, Sandonne frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"'Imaginary internal energy'?"

Sandone, who buried herself in research and never did anything frivolous, and preferred to be a recluse, was unaware that after she and Pantalone secretly conspired together last time...

The other party then went to the "doctor" and came up with a new energy source called "imaginary internal energy".

Especially since she hadn't attended the last executive meeting where the "Fragmenters" impeached Pantalone, she was even more clueless about what Pantalone had done this time.

Ultimately, the last meeting of executives regarding Pantalone was not made public.

In other words, unless someone deliberately asks what was discussed at that meeting, other people basically have no idea what was said at that meeting.

Naturally, no one knew what new thing Pantalone had done after that executive meeting.

Seeing the puzzled look on Sandone's face, Pantalone cleared his throat and explained.

"The so-called 'imaginary internal energy' is actually a new energy source that I discovered by chance while preparing another plan. This energy is not only highly efficient, but its efficiency far exceeds all the energy we can obtain through conventional means."

"The utilization rate and efficiency of this energy are unimaginable for any other type of energy, and it has a strong compatibility with everything, allowing it to accommodate and use more efficient energy sources."

"So I submitted the proposed 'Imaginary Energy Storage Plan' to the Chief, as an energy reserve to store for future wars during Her Majesty's great cause of fighting against the laws of nature, and to be preserved until that time."

"Theoretically, if we switch to this kind of energy, we can obtain an almost inexhaustible source of energy for the winter, and this energy is extremely versatile."

All the descriptions and introductions above regarding 'imaginary energy' come from Dr. Dottore, the foremost expert on 'imaginary energy' in Teyvat, the first scholar of Winterfell, and the most insane genius of the former Sumeru Cult, and the executor of the Fools.

Whether others believe it or not, Pantalone certainly does.

"I have tried using this energy. In the process of using and researching this new energy source, I have discovered that this energy has a variety of incredible properties. It can be expressed in almost any form without being limited to any particular form."

"This gives me good reason to believe that this energy can be applied to almost any situation, but mechanical engineering is not an area I am familiar with. As for the specifics, I intend to ask for your opinion."

After Pantalone finished speaking, he threw the question back to Sandone.

After hearing Pantalone's explanation, Sandonne frowned slightly as he pondered.

"Frankly speaking, assuming this energy really has the characteristics you described, then this energy might indeed be able to solve the current problem. However, if so, it might increase the pressure on human resources."

"I have already thought of everything about this. If the products of the 'Intelligent Sequence Autonomous Mechanism Project' can be perfected, then the acquired energy can be used to power mechanical creations."

"By using these creations themselves to replace human labor in complex operations, this process can be perfectly recycled and reused, thereby saving a lot of human resources."

After a moment's thought, Pantalone gave his answer.

But even with this answer, the elegant girl's delicate face still held a lingering doubt, and she gently shook her head and said...

"Have you forgotten? The 'Intelligent Sequence Self-Discipline Agency Plan' was rejected from the very beginning. This plan cannot be carried out openly."

Sandonne's answer made Pantalone ponder.

As Sandonne said, there are some things about this idea that cannot be bypassed.

Unless he can completely deny the possibility of his impeachment plan, in other words, he must provide sufficient evidence to convince others that the plan is entirely within control.

So, is there any way to both apply intelligent mechanical creations and improve efficiency while solving this current problem?

Pantalone fell into deep thought until he saw the Void Terminal replica that Dotore had given him in his hand, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

This allowed him to quickly grasp the inspiration, and a certain idea naturally arose in his mind.

So he looked at the elegant and dignified girl in front of him and slowly asked.

"What if this self-regulating mechanism is not automatic, but controlled by humans?"

"What do you mean?"

Sandoni raised an eyebrow slightly.

Pantalone took out another copy of the Void Terminal from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Sandone.

Then he placed his hands on the table, interlocked his fingers, and gently exhaled.

“In fact, before I came here, Dotore and I organized a plan to try to create a replica of the Sumeru ‘Void System’, which led to the creation of this Void Terminal replica in front of us.”

"Compared to the original Void Terminal, this replica cannot connect to Sumeru's 'Void System,' but that's not the point."

"The key point is that through this replica of the void terminal, we were able to possess our own 'void system.' We successfully achieved this through 'imaginary internal energy' and obtained the product before us."

"Through the replica's void terminal, we are able to interfere with the realm of 'dreams,' in which memories and consciousness can be materialized. Or perhaps we could call this 'dream' that imitates the 'void system' the 'void dream system'?"

"If we use this void terminal as a replica as a medium, then consciousness will no longer be bound by space and the physical body, thus enabling us to do more things that flesh and blood cannot do."

Upon hearing this, Sandone's expression changed slightly. Looking at Pantalone as she explained her thoughts, she took a deep breath and then gazed into Pantalone's eyes, asking a question.
