After handing me the instructions for the spell of extracting energy, Suzaku began her explanation again. "The material you're seeing now is black, so you can all see it clearly, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Suzaku continued, "Okay. Now I've dragged up a fire spell, and the orbs float here, and as soon as I let go of the control, they'll be disintegrated and absorbed. With that, she let go of her grip on the spell, and the dots of red bright spots began to drift towards the material below. Suzaku said: "Now it is starting to absorb energy, but this guy's size is very large, and this small fireball is not enough to make it completely invisible, so I am now starting to continuously replenish energy into it." "With the continuous output of Suzaku, the fireball has not disappeared although it has been continuously absorbed.
The material was constantly absorbing energy, and it began to gradually become invisible, and when it became completely invisible, the little Suzaku crushed the fireball. "Okay, now you're looking at the material that has gone into an invisible state. It's now on the ground, and underneath it is dirt. Do you see the ground through it? ā
Everyone shook their heads together at this time. It's not actually completely invisible now, its color has changed to a faint white, and there seems to be some blue mixed in with it, how I look at it and think it's like the color of the sky. I finally realized that this thing was not transparent but had become the color of the sky. The ruins of Isengh are here by the sea, and there is no contrast near us, and when it is connected to the sky and the sea in the background, it is completely invisible. In fact, it is not transparent, and it is even easy to spot as long as there is a contrast.
Walmart suddenly asked Suzaku, "What is this material called?" ā
"Nuwa didn't name this thing at the beginning, they were just waste scum."
Walmart immediately said, "It's okay for us to come up with a name, right?" ā
"Of course." Suzaku said politely: "Anyway, it's for you, I don't care how you like it." ā
Walmart looked at me, "President." The properties of this material are simply too suitable for Issinger's flight plans in the future. Shall we just call it the Sky Stone? ā
"It doesn't matter the name, it's the purpose. What do you mean by being fit for flying technology? ā
Walmart immediately explained excitedly: "Esinger can be lifted into the air, and this material can be lightly integrated with the sky, if there is a city with the same color of the sky flying through the sky, who can see it?" If there's a way to extract energy, we can even drain it out at night and turn it black. Unless Isinger lands, absolutely no one will be able to discover it. ā
"Yes, that's a great attribute." An invisible moving castle, I guess that must be interesting.
Little Suzaku said: "In addition to being invisible in the sky, this Sky Stone you named is also a good anti-magic barrier. I've just explained to you how it absorbs magic, and as long as it goes beyond a 20-meter radius or under continuous control, it won't be affected. So, your defensive operations need some tweaks as well. The first is that mages must slow down the use of magic. ā
"Didn't that affect our combat effectiveness?" A mage asked.
Little Suzaku shook his head: "This will indeed affect your combat effectiveness. But you have to consider that the enemy is worse than you. Letting you slow down the speed of your spell release is a powerful force that requires you to control your spell, and in any case, wait for it to leave the range of 20 meters before releasing the control and letting it fly on its own. Otherwise, all spells that are played will be sucked back. You should all be able to control your spells at a distance of more than 20 meters, after all, this distance is not very long. I know that most people are used to letting go of the spell after the spell has flown 5 meters, but if you want to use the spell in the city built in the Sky City, you must learn to control the distance at which the spell is released. Know that your enemies are more difficult than you, you just have to throw the spell 20 meters away, and they don't expect the spell to be effective unless they can keep the spell on target. In fact, except for us god-level beings, it is impossible for ordinary mages to control spells to a distance of 100 meters. In other words, almost no one has the ability to put spells on your walls. Besides, you won't have any problems as long as you take care of your avoidance. The arithmetic was launched into the city walls. As soon as it comes into contact with the Sky Stone, it will be immediately sucked dry like water encountering a sponge, causing no damage at all. ā
A warrior player asked, "How hard is this thing?" It's good not to be afraid of magic, but what about physical defense? ā
"I can only say that it is harder than the average substance, but it is so strong that I have not tested it."
A German female player shouted, "Just take a few pieces of real yĆ n." ā
Suzaku hurriedly said: "Anyway, the thing is given to you, I don't care how you want to use it, but make it clear to you in advance, there are only so many things, it is not enough to build your city, and it can only be mixed with other materials." If you consume too much in other areas, I can't replenish it for you. ā
"Then let's not be real." Another player was distressed.
Suzaku said: "Actually, it's not that you can't be real, but you have to be careful not to damage it too strictly." This material is self-healing. If a crack is punched or a piece is missing, it will automatically repair the damage as long as energy flows in, but only if the damage does not exceed 75% of the total volume."
"Then don't worry." I laughed and said, "We're not that violent yet." ā
The sturdiness of a material is divided into many parts, the first of which is to test the ability to resist hits. In order to make a comparison, we played some solid steel billets, which are exactly the same as the Sky Stone, so it is more convenient to compare.
First we erected the Sky Stone and the steel billet, and then the puppet smashed it with a hammer. The puppet has a lot of strength. The power is even greater when using a large warhammer. First of all, the puppet picked up the sledgehammer and spun sideways like a chain ball and smashed the steel blank.
When there was a loud bang, our ears were all shaken and ringing for a long time. The tapping was a bit of a surprise, and we thought it would just sink a little. Who knew that the puppet actually broke the hammer. The head of the giant war hammer was embedded in the steel billet, and all that was left of the puppet's hand was a bare stick.
Erlang God touched the hammer head in the steel embryo and said, "Purple sun! Is your puppet much stronger than mine? ā
I smiled wryly and said, "They've lost their strength!" ā
Because the hammer was damaged, we had to replace it with an identical hammer the second time. Command the puppet to use the same force to knock on the Sky Stone, and then everyone plugs their ears and waits for a loud bang to happen. The puppet was still in the same position, spinning and smashing its hammer into the surface of the Sky Stone.
Rumble! "Oops!"
I don't know if it's because the puppet's strength is too big or if there is a problem with the quality of our hammer, but this time we knocked the hammer head off again. The metal handle in the puppet's hand had been bent into the shape of the letter Z, and the Sky Stone had not been damaged in the slightest, but we had noticed a strange change. The Sky Stone we used to make the real yĆ n was drained of energy and is now black, but the area near where it was hit has become the color of the sky. The Sky Stone only changes color when it absorbs energy, so can it even absorb the mechanical energy when it hits?
I'm thinking. Suddenly, a player said, "Strange, where is the hammer head?" ā
As soon as he said that, everyone started looking for the hammer head. As a result, everyone found two unlucky guys at the same time. The first guy was unlucky seven or eight meters behind us, he rolled on the ground, and his left leg was all gone below the knee. Another person was now lying on all fours more than 40 meters behind us, and there were two people under him.
Just now, the puppet broke the hammer handle when it hit the Sky Stone, and because the hardness of the Sky Stone is quite exaggerated, the hammer head did not sink into it like the steel billet just now, but bounced out. The ejected hammer first broke the first guy's leg, then hit the ground and bounced off again, hitting the stomach of the guy behind him. The guy was sent flying out, knocking down two people along the way. I saw the miserable appearance of those people and touched the Sky Stone again. "It's hard enough! I just don't know if there is the same effect after freezing! "Generally speaking, many hard objects become quite fragile when frozen, such as steel, which becomes as fragile as glass once the temperature drops to a certain extent.
With the help of the Ice Queen I summoned, we cooled the Sky Stone to a very low temperature along with a new steel billet, and we were a little delayed because we couldn't freeze it directly. When the cooling was complete we tried again to hit the real yĆ n, at which temperature the steel was brittle like glass. The puppet knocked off a large chunk of the steel billet with a hammer, but the Sky Stone remained unresponsive.
The low temperature was ineffective, and we realized the high temperature again, but the real yĆ n could not be carried out. When the temperature exceeds 120 degrees, the Sky Stone no longer heats up, but directly converts the temperature into energy and absorbs it. Continuing to heat up is tantamount to replenishing the Sky Stone, and there is no point at all.
In the next wear-resistant process, we use large grinders, but the wear effect is very poor. After using up an entire grinding stone, we only left a one-foot-deep pit on the surface of the Sky Stone, which under normal circumstances should be able to make a two-meter-deep hole in the steel plate. But now it's only a foot deep. Although this real yĆ n proves that the Sky Stone is not indestructible, at least it can be polished and cut, but its hardness is no longer in doubt.
Originally, we were going to do the pulling and torsion, but considering the size of the Sky Stone on time, we didn't have that big machine. All of them show that the Sky Stone has extraordinary properties and is fully capable of building cities.
After examining the hardness, we began to calculate the use of materials, and Suzaku had already made it clear that materials were not enough, and of course we could not start building cities directly, and the first task was to count and calculate the actual amount of materials used, so that we could arrange them reasonably.
The calculation results are just like what Suzaku said, the materials are not enough. In order to make reasonable use of it, I had to plan again where to use the Sky Stone and where to use the alternatives. First of all, the outermost layer of the city must be made of Sky Stone. After deducting this amount, the rest will be calculated.
It wasn't until the afternoon that we roughly planned the use plan, and Jirogami, who had been impatient for a long time, began to direct the puppet to work. The first place we want to build is the bottom armor layer of the city. It was planned that the city would use a modular design, and the armor would of course always use a detachable structure according to the modular standard. According to the design, the bottom of the city is a square with a side of a kilometer. It will be protected by 1910244 armor plates.
Each armor plate is actually a cube 1,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 100 meters thick. The bottom 30 meters of this cube are made entirely of Sky Stones, which act as magical resistance and invisibility on the outside, and the Sky Stones do not stick to anything on the smooth, and even if they take off from the ground, they will not lose their invisibility due to a large amount of dirt. On top of the Sky Stone, a multicolored stone about 70 meters thick will be placed. Although the Colorful Divine Stone is not as good as the Sky Stone in terms of structural strength and magic resistance, this thing is in open supply, so you don't have to worry about the quantity!
Actually, I originally wanted to place a steel plate on the armor layer, although it is not as strong as the Sky Stone, at least it is stronger than the Colorful Divine Stone. But in the end, we gave up on the idea because of the weight. Sky Stone is very dense, I feel like it's almost as dense as Styrofoam. If you throw it into the water, it won't sink at all, and even the wind above level 6 can blow it up. The density of the multicolored stone is also smaller than that of seawater. It can float like wood in the water. Both of these materials are not very dense and are very suitable for the construction of Esinger. Our gravity defying device is very powerful, but who wouldn't want to save a little? At least the cost of magic crystals can be saved a little. In the unlikely event that Issinger loses power at sea in the future, the city built of such light materials may not sink, and it can at least be used as a ship when the time comes.
The production of armor plates is carried out separately, and it will be assembled until the last time anyway, so now it is manufactured in large quantities according to the standard. Except for the bottom armor. The city wall also needs to be protected, so there are not only 1,024 pieces that need to be built, but also a lot of city walls. Fortunately, there are a large number of dolls of Jiro God, so it is relatively quick to get them.
The puppets first moved the Sky Stone and threw it into a square of one square kilometer, and then piled it up to a thickness of 30 meters. After completing this layer, use the same method to pile up the five-colored god stones, and after all the completion of the small Suzaku and Erlang God will personally take the fusion charm and paste it, and then the structure of these stone bricks will become a whole, not only the sky stone is connected, but even the sky stone and the five-color god stone are connected without any fault. It's like they're growing together completely. If our guild had this kind of talisman, we wouldn't have to bother welding the hull with a welding machine, but unfortunately Erlang God wouldn't give me this kind of talisman at all.
While making the armor, some other players are directing the guild's puppets to carry the Sky Stones, and they have the puppets pile them into pre-made metal shells. These metal shells are all steel columns. The length varies, the longest being 30 kilometers long, and judging by the horrific weld marks, it took a lot of work to get these things in the first place. The steel columns vary in diameter, but they are all empty inside. When the Sky Stones are placed inside, they form the shape of a stone pillar, and when you use the fusion charm, the Sky Stones piled up into them become a real stone pillar. After pouring the stone pillars out of the metal shell, the players began to reload them with Sky Stone, which were actually molds for fast and accurate girders.
A huge city needs support, and the strength of its base in such a large city is unimaginable once it flies. In the past, the bottom of the city was a single piece of rock, which had enough strength to support these weights, but now the city is modular, and the armor part not only does not bear the support force, but also consumes the power of the support system, for which we need to build a strong enough support structure.
Our guild has the internal support technology from the turtle family, and with the excellent properties of the super material Sky Stone, we can easily complete this support system. In fact, we have already calculated that although the new Issinger will be a full circle larger than the original in terms of size, the total weight will not even be one-sixth of the original, of course. This is all due to the excellent properties of the new material.
The largest supporting beam is 40 kilometers long, and the base surface is a square with a side length of 300 meters. Even though the density of such a large beam is about the same as that of styrofoam, it still weighs 100 tons, and it would be really troublesome if we didn't have a lot of lifting equipment in our line!
Due to the large number of people. Coupled with the sound design, our construction progress was surprisingly fast. In the middle of the night, Isinger's bottom frame has been completed, but now it is only a keel, and nothing has been installed except for the support frame, but as long as this is completed, the speed of attaching various equipment will be much faster.
In the darkness of the night, some huge secret equipment was transported to Isengard, all from Steel City. These days we're building Issinger, and the restoration on the steel city side is complete. The new steel city has not only expanded, but also increased equipment. In the past, the city was chaotic because it was mining and construction, but this time it happened to be planned through reconstruction. Now Steel City is basically like a factory. It's not like a garbage heap as it used to be. These new equipment are the first set of products after the completion of the steel city.
After the equipment from the Steel City was transported, another supply came from the sea, this time from Atlantis. After the merger of the White Shark Clan and the Merfolk Clan, the technology of the two clans combined to complete the new equipment we secretly ordered. The idea for these things came from a member of the Guild Design Bureau, but one has to admire his ingenuity. In fact, the reason why Isinger's design has been adjusted so much this time is because of his novelty, because his design will allow Isinger to have the ability to move, so we went to such great lengths to convert the city into a mobile fortress. Of course, another reason is that someone pays for us, and we don't have to worry about the renovation fee at all.
The construction of the city continued, but the technicians of our guild gathered together and began assembling the super equipment transported from Atlantis and Steel City. The technicians started by erecting some huge roulette wheels. These things are made from a mixture of black steel and a special alloy from Atlantis, and their strength is probably the highest in any equipment we have made so far, even if it is not much worse than the Sky Stone, and these huge discs alone have used up almost 5,000,000 crystal coins.
The disc was erected and then assembled with the disc of another model. When they form a complete part, everyone can see that it is actually a giant wheel. The wheels made of this super metal are 50 meters in diameter and almost as tall as a building of twenty stories. What stands out more than the height of these wheels is the width, which reaches 5,020 meters wide and looks like a roller.
These huge wheels are weird to most of our members because they don't know what this thing is for. What's even more terrifying is that there is more than one. After the first one was completed, the technician began to instruct the puppet to assemble the second and third ones, and it seemed that there was a lot more to it.
At dawn, 320,020 of these wheels were piled on the ground to scare those who didn't know what to do, what the hell are so many giant metal wheels for? Almost everyone is speculating on this issue.
After these wheels were finished, our technicians fiddled with new gadgets. This time it's a huge machine. As long as there is no one in our guild who does not know this thing. This is the most common gravity defying device. However, this time the equipment is a little different. The gravity defy devices are much smaller than normal, and each device seems to have a few extra parts, but it's unclear what the new parts are for.
The technician had the puppet make the stone of the sky into some slats. The strips are all exactly the same size, about 500 meters long, slightly wider than those wheels, about 50 meters wide, and all 8 meters thick. The slats were wrapped by the technicians with some of the metal objects they had shipped, and it seems that the dimensions were planned in the first place, as the metal cladding was just the right size to hold the Skystone's longboards. The wrapped slabs were pendulum in two, and the researchers placed gravity-defying devices on these special slabs, which were also designed for their size. Protrusions on the metal fixtures fit right into the holes in the gravity-defying devices. After placing the gravitational device on the board and fixing it, the researchers used another plate to attach it to the device, so that the gravitational device was sandwiched between two layers of plates.
The slate is relatively long, but the resistance device is very short. A revolt was placed on one side of a board, and the void in the middle was filled with some Sky Stones. After the structure was completed, the outside was wrapped in a pre-made metal shell, and this time there were some strange devices on the outer shell, which looked like probes sticking out.
When the metal parts were connected to the slabs of the Sky Stone, they became strangely shaped long objects. But people still don't see what this is for. By the afternoon the technicians had finally started using the strips, and it wasn't until this time that everyone suddenly understood what they were, and even the function of the wheels.
The bars are horizontally linked one by one, and then the connections on the metal casings are just right to lock each other. After a busy afternoon for the designers, 400 tracks were completed. These things are exactly the same as the tracks of tanks, except for the relatively large size, there is almost no difference, and everyone recognizes them as tracks at a glance. However, everyone is still curious, why put gravity resistance devices in these tracks?
Another sleepless night, and the construction of Isenger is still in full swing. The fleet at sea brought in new cargo, and the technicians commanded the puppets to carry a large amount of equipment ashore. These devices are huge and scary to look at. Some parts are like quay gantry cranes, but the size is much larger. The supplies that had been unloaded overnight were quickly put to use.
First, the technician lays a track flat on the ground. Then they played 81 big wheels and went up. I commanded Lucky and Plague to help connect some of the oddly shaped devices. When completed, these devices look like the kind of large diesel engines used on luxury yachts, but they are exceptionally large in size. These engine-looking devices are actually engines, but instead of diesel fuel, they're powered by magic crystals.
The researchers instructed the puppet to connect eight metal braces with the letter y upside down, and then we connected the power equipment as well. The eight inverted Y-shaped brackets are just on the bearings of the eight wheels, and then the propeller shafts on the power equipment are linked to the support frames. This inverted Y-shaped support is not only a support, it is also a transmission equipment. When this was done, the institute threaded the track through the wheels and snapped it up.
Now, if anyone can't see what it is, then it can't be said. This thing is completely a track propulsion device, the only special thing is that the track cleats have gravity resistance devices.
The researchers assembled the rest of the parts in this way, and when all 400 tracked propulsion units were completed, they were spectacular, and the huge tracks and the brackets were literally mobile buildings.
And that's not all. The third phi has finally arrived. This time, the number of things transported is small, but the volume is larger. What we're looking at is a jack-like device, but of course, much larger. There are a total of 401 such jack-like devices, of which 400 are exactly the same, and only one is particularly large.
The researchers commanded the totemic dragons in the guild to turn over the 100-meter-tall super jacks one by one. Thanks to the fact that the totem dragon is the same as the guardian beast, it is a guild guardian and does not disappear because Ai Shenge destroyed it, otherwise we really don't know how to assemble these super huge parts!
These large, jack-like devices were turned upside down and attached to the tracked thrusters. The thick metal support columns that protrude from the "jacks" are just enough to fit into the retainers on those support frames. The function of these jack devices is simple, they can elongate or shorten the metal support column, they can also rotate, and that's just that.
When the devices were installed, they became more aware of what they were for, and the researchers finally came back and started installing them. But instead of moving the tracked thrusters, they played the biggest jack first.
The largest "jack" has a strange shape, as it looks like two jacks connecting the central support columns, which means it looks like two head-to-head jacks.
The researcher had the dragon get it to the center of the city. Originally, those who directed the construction did not understand why the construction of the urban framework had to be erected with Sky Stones, but now they finally understand why. This super jack is 800 meters high, and it would not have been possible to get in unless the frame had been erected beforehand.
The jack was placed in the center of the city, and then some people climbed up to manually operate the jack to extend, until the upper jack was pressed against the beam. The construction crew began to fix the jack above, and using the parts that were shipped with the jack, everyone quickly connected it to the urban frame.
The researcher first made a shrink jack, because the top was connected to the frame, and the bottom naturally left the ground. After making sure it would not loosen, the researchers extended it out again, lifted the city frame, and ordered the temporary supports to be removed. When all the temporary supports were removed, the city was completely supported by jacks.
We stretched and contracted the jack again, and the urban frame moved up and down. After making sure that there was no problem with telescoping, we started to rotate the jack, which could be rotated left and right at will, but not too fast. The lower half of the jack supports the ground, and the upper half of the frame rotates with the jack. This is the steering equipment we designed, how convenient!
