"This brat! He can already arrange both Heater and cooler array formation with his mind as the core. Looks like Aura Sight is convenient for gaining insight into nature's soul pathways and arrangements. Maybe I should teach him… let's wait and see how far he can go by himself." Deep inside the military base, at the array formation core region, Lorenzo mumbled to himself, watching Wyatt arrange both Heater and cooler array formation with his mind as the core.

…

Heater and cooler array formations are low-level temporary array formations. Many have thought about combining these two array formations, but the resulting array formations cannot be categorized as a temporary array but as a stationary array. Because the method they came up with to combine these two arrays requires modification of the core to facilitate the combination of the array formations. Which is straight up the alley of the stationary array formation.

Temporary array formation and stationary array formations have their differences and advantages. But I wanted to arrange an array formation with the combination of the heater and cooler array formation as a temporary array formation. To achieve this, one has to understand the principle behind the soul pathway of temperature.

The temperature soul pathway works on the principle of expansion and contraction. If the temperature soul pathway is bulky, the surrounding temperature is high. If it is narrow, then the surrounding temperature is low.

To set up a heater array formation, we isolate the temperature soul pathway, empower its soul power and modify it using mental strength to increase the temperature in the room.

Here what we are doing is we use our mental strength to instruct the temperature soul pathway to expand using the soul power we empowered it with. As the temperature soul pathway expands, it gets bulkier, increasing the surrounding temperature.

To set up a cooler array formation, we isolate the temperature soul pathway, empower its soul power and modify it using mental strength to decrease the temperature in the room.

Here what we are doing is we use our mental strength to instruct the temperature soul pathway to contract using the soul power we empowered it with. As the temperature soul pathway contracts, it gets narrower, decreasing the surrounding temperature.

This is the actual principle behind the working of heater and cooler array formations. But the other array masters do not know this as they cannot see the temperature soul pathway expand and contract with temperature change like I do because they do not have soul pupils, which allows me to see all soul pathways.

There is no need to combine the heater and cooler array formation to gain the merits of both the array. All they needed to do was to reverse either of the array formations to get the opposite effect. But this also is not as simple as said. The room temperature is the central temperature, increasing the room temperature is the application of the heater array, and decreasing the room temperature is the function of the cooler array.

When trying to reverse either of these functions, you have to know when and how to switch between using soul energy to increase or decrease the temperature, that is, expansion or contraction of the temperature soul pathways.

Let's take the example of the heater array with a room temperature of 20-degrees celsius.

To increase the temperature, we need to expand the temperature soul pathway, for which we need a certain amount of soul energy.

Let's say increasing the room temperature by 1-degree Celsius requires 1-unit of soul energy.

Accordingly, to maintain a constant supply of 22 degrees Celsius temperature, you need a continuous supply of 2-units of soul energy. For 23 degrees Celsius, we need a continuous supply of 3-units of soul energy.

Let's say I have to decrease the warmth in the heater array from 23 degrees to 22 degrees Celsius. Then all I have to do is reduce the soul energy supply from 3-units to 2-units. If I were to cut off the supply of soul energy, then the temperature would return to room temperature.

This is how you control the heat in the heater array. Similarly, in the cooler array, to handle the cold, we regulate the supply of soul power.

This regulation of soul power causes complications when an average array master tries to use a heater or cooler array in reverse.

Regular array masters only know that if they add soul energy to the heater or cooler array, the temperature increases or decreases. They don't know that what they are actually doing is expanding or contracting the temperature soul pathway. Therefore, they cannot properly regulate the soul energy to reverse the heater or cooler array.

But I knew the principles behind both the heater and cooler array, so I knew how and when to regulate the soul energy to reverse the heater and cooler array formations.

Now that I had sorted the principle and calculations behind reversing the heater and cooler array formation, I decided to experiment with it.

First, I isolated the temperature soul pathway and then set a boundary limit of the array within the cabin. And then, I introduced the soul energy to expand the temperature soul pathway. As the temperature soul pathway expanded the surroundings got warmer. And then, I cut off the soul energy supply for expansion of the temperature soul pathway and introduced the soul energy to contract the temperature soul pathway. With that, the temperature soul pathway grew narrower, and the cabin started to feel chilly.

I repeated this process a few more times until I got the hang of it. Soon I no longer needed to regulate the soul energy supply to expand and contract the temperature soul pathway separately because I was able to switch the supply of soul energy between expansion and contraction at my will, just like a thermostat back on earth.

Since the experiment was a huge success, I had my slave consciousness create a paper on this using the techniques and methods to arrange array formation it learned from Lorenzo's books.
