Tianshi Pillar

Tianshi Pillars are columnar Xiranite devices designed to contain Blight Tides, representing one of the primary research achievements from Hongshan Academy of Sciences (HAS) at the Wuling Scientific Developmental District.

The Tianshi Pillars emerged from HAS's comprehensive management project in the Wuling District. While Xiranite's development brought renewed hope, the Tianshi understood this new material required an efficient delivery mechanism. Following the North Wuling Exclusion Zone disaster, they shifted from attempting to forcibly close the Very Large Rift through Xiranite concentration to targeted Blight Tide containment, the foundational concept behind the pillars. HAS Tianshi successfully integrated Originium technology with Feranmut studies once again, deploying Wuling's first experimental pillar, designated "Marker Stone", in Talosian Calendar, Year 143.

During normal operations, the Tianshi Pillar array continuously disperses Xiranite particles into the atmosphere and water systems, preventing the Very Large Rift from transforming additional water into liquid Blight. When Blight Tides strike, the environmental Xiranite particles activate, forming a barrier that disrupts the tide's momentum and reverses liquid Blight phenomena. After a decade of expansion and upgrades, the pillar network surrounding Wuling City has successfully brought Blight disasters under control. Nowadays, except during quarterly tidal surges, Blight Tides no longer pose significant threats to daily life and production within the city.
