# Day 224

The harmony with which the heroes united to reinforce the mine ignited a spark of new energy within me. In their work, I saw more than just physical labor—it was a synchronization of mind, spirit, and body. It felt as though the world of *"IN"* was embracing us, allowing us to become part of its vast and mysterious structure. Thanks to their efforts, the mine is now safe, and I can dedicate myself to studying its depths.

As I began my exploration, it became clear that the mine's layers were more than just earth and stone. They symbolized sacred architecture, constructed on principles that reflect cosmic harmony. At its core lies the binary division—a timeless principle mirroring the duality of existence: light and darkness, energy and matter, thought and form. Each shaft is interconnected, forming a vast energy network extending deep into the heart of this world.

I counted twenty levels, with the number of shafts doubling at each tier: one at the first level, two at the second, four at the third, and so on. The total number of shafts—1,048,575—is awe-inspiring and seems to embody the infinite potential woven into the essence of this world. Each shaft acts as a node where energy is gathered, transformed, and manifested in crystalline form.

The Mechanics of the Shafts

At the upper levels, the shafts appear designed for gem extraction. They draw energy from the earth's depths, transforming it into crystals that sparkle like stars captured in stone. The process is abundant—the sheer number of gems one shaft can generate seems limitless. However, starting from the ninth level, the mechanisms evolve. Their structure resembles the artifacts we’ve uncovered in ruins. It’s possible that these levels once served as production sites, opening new horizons in our understanding of this world.

The greatest enigma lies in the fifteenth level and beyond. These shafts create items that defy categorization. They seem to embody something unknown, perhaps even thought-forms crystallized into matter. I must activate these shafts to study their creations and uncover the knowledge they conceal.

When examining the interconnections between shafts, it becomes evident that they form a single, unified network. Activating deeper levels appears to awaken activity in the upper ones. It’s as though the energy generated below amplifies the potential of the shafts above, enabling them to produce not only gems but also the mysterious items found deeper within. Perhaps this was the mine’s original design: an energy symphony where every note resonates with another, creating harmony in endless production.

Activating the Shafts

After extensive experimentation, I discovered that the energy required to power the shafts is encapsulated in the $TIN tokens of the *"IN"* world. By unlocking this energy, I managed to activate the first shaft. The process revealed three levels of activation:

1. IGNISIA — Activates a single energy conduit.
2. VOLCARR — Powers a generator shaft.
3. RADIAR — Activates a group of generators.

Each level demands more energy but unlocks exponentially greater potential. However, our current $TIN reserves are far from sufficient to power the entire mine. Managing such a colossal system manually is equally unfeasible.

A Decentralized Model

I sought help from my colleague Pengui\_IN. His deep mathematical expertise and experience may help us design a decentralized model for the mine’s operation. I envision a future where heroes and volunteers collaborate to activate shafts by contributing their energy and efforts. This system could lay the foundation for a new kind of interaction between us and this world, built on mutual benefit and collective labor.
