After returning to Isenger, I began to instruct everyone to prepare all kinds of infrastructure for the treasures that were about to arrive, and the three erring beasts did not dare to object to the loss of their treasures because they were afraid that they would be punished, and they obediently handed them over, and I soon waited for all kinds of treasures.

After the things arrived, I began to instruct everyone to put the things aside and install them one by one. The first to install was the Divine Arrow, and this was the first to prepare its base because I brought it back directly. Issinger has the most sophisticated large hydraulic chassis, and the super missile of the Divine Arrow is the most suitable for this chassis, and four turret-like buildings are prepared for them to hide them in. The position of the launcher is installed on the top of the command layer at the highest point, and the missile launcher is placed at the four corners, so that the launch angle is relatively wider, and the high position is conducive to the positioning of the missile.

The four boundary towers are installed on the platform at the top of the base level, and when the middle level and the base level are connected, the four towers are just on the four corners of the middle level.

Although the Ruyi Altar is not small, it is much lighter than those towers. We put it in the central garden on the middle level, anyway, this thing can make any wish come true, anyone who wants to try it, and it is more convenient for everyone to make a wish in a spacious place. In terms of installation, this thing doesn't need to be moved at all, just use some clips to fix it on the ground and don't run around.

The Shenwu wind chimes are the easiest, and you can hang them in the four top corners inside the base layer, of course, the protective measures still have to be done, but those are small things.

After reading the book of military arts, the locals in our guild said that it was actually a magic circle, and the structure was very simple. But it has to be enough to cover the entire city. I asked them to paint this circle on the ground of the city with gold paint mixed with crystal powder, and the huge circle covered the entire city, and it would automatically activate in case of important war. In addition to Isengah, other cities also have to brush such magic circles. However, those cities should not be painted directly on the ground, but should be covered with a layer of floor tiles so that others cannot see them.

In addition to these things that she got back from Heavenly Court, Vena was also super enthusiastic to help this time. She naturally understands the importance of my status when she has a real body, and she used to just take care of me, but now it has become a complete help, of course, she can't do too much due to the system restrictions, but some small favors are not a problem. For example, the city of Isengh is now full of strange symbols drawn by her, which she says are ancient spells. It can make the city stronger.

Our city was still putting the finishing touches on it, and Ashford suddenly came running. This guy was dumbfounded as soon as he came out of the transnational teleportation array. Isinger, too, has been here several times. He knew exactly what Issinger was like before, but he was completely dumbfounded by what he looked like now.

Asford had been in the city for a long time before he met me outside the city, and when he saw me, he immediately asked in amazement, "Is this the rebuilt land of Isengard?" ”

I nodded. "How does it feel?"

Ashuford stretched out a finger and pointed up and down, left and right for a long time, "En......!" How to say it! The first impression is that it is more practical than before, and the area of a single floor seems to have increased a lot, but according to this arrangement, it seems that the total area is not as good as before. ”

"Yes. The area of the new city is 21.7% larger than before, but the actual area of the interior is only 87.1% of the original area. A lot of them are mechanical areas, and the areas that are really frequented are actually less than 40% of what they used to be. ”

"Why is it so much smaller?"

I thought for a moment and said, "The most direct reason is that there are fewer levels. The original Issinger had a total of 16 floors above ground and underground, but now there are only 10 floors in Isenger, and if there are 6 floors less, of course, the area is not as large as before. As for the use area, because the whole city is now using mechanized transformation, machines and pipes take up too much space, so there is less space for people to use. In fact, we deliberately reduced the use area. It turned out that Isengh was so big, many places were empty, and it was sparsely populated. Now make things a little more compact so that everyone can concentrate their lives. As for the vacated space, it all became space for weapons systems. It's no exaggeration to say that this Issinger is a mobile fortress now, with more firepower than a large fleet, and we have an air force. The combat effectiveness is definitely more than 3 times stronger than before. ”

Asford glanced at the city and said, "It feels a little taller than before!" ”

"Do you see that, too?"

"Of course." Ashuford said confidently: "The visual height should be more than a hundred meters higher than before!" But it turns out that the Gathering Spirit Pagoda can't be counted, I'm talking about the main body of the city. ”

I excitedly said to Asford, "Do you want to know why Issinger is taller than before?" ”

"That's right!" Ashuford asked curiously, "Isn't it because there are more levels?" The original city was symmetrical, with 8 of the 16 floors underground, but now the 10 floors are all above ground, and of course the higher part is. ”

"Hahahaha! It's not that simple. I smiled and said, "Actually, I've lowered the height of each floor, and the city should be a lot shorter than before, but now it's taller, and the real reason is on the bottom floor." We had some new equipment in it, so the city got a lot taller. ”

"New equipment? What is it? Is there any practical value? What are you doing? Asford was excited as soon as he heard about the new equipment.

I deliberately hung his appetite. "Actually, this thing doesn't have much technical content, it's just a basic transformation. It's still your equipment. ”

"My device?"

I was just about to answer him, when suddenly Walmart came running up and said, "President, the city is all finished, do you need to do it?" ”

I said to Ashuford, "Just let you take a look." Walmart, you tell everyone that Isinger will immediately conduct a functional test, and ask all personnel to prepare immediately. ”

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the city was ready to go, and the new Issinger was about to be resurrected.

It's afternoon. The Sky Stone had absorbed the sunlight, and the black city had turned sky blue, and I stood outside the city with Ashford and the main members of the guild watching Issinger do the functional test. To Asford's astonished gaze, the huge jack at the bottom of Issinger began to unfold slowly, and the city shook for a moment and then began to slowly rise.

"Purple Sun. What is this? "Ashford was completely frightened by this giant jack.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to get excited, the good stuff is still to come!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a click, and some of the armor plates at the bottom of the city began to open outward. The modular armor unfolded outward, revealing a huge cavity, and almost as the armor was fully deployed, some huge machinery painted yellow and black stripes stretched out. When the things were halfway out, Asford shouted, "Tracks? Is that a track? ”

I nodded: "It's a track, we have a custom track for Isinger." ”

It was only at this time that Asford came to his senses. "Are those huge metal parts you ordered from our guild some time ago for it? No wonder my people say those things don't connect at all! ”

Rose, who was standing next to me, laughed: "Our own production line was also destroyed, and we couldn't produce so much equipment at the same time after it was just repaired, so I ordered some of it from you." Of course. We still have to protect trade secrets, so we make our own connected devices. The only thing that was given to you was a large keel for support, and we also ordered other parts from other forces, and you were only responsible for one part, so even if you wanted to copy it, you couldn't figure out what we were making. What do you think? Our secrecy is passable, right? ”

"You're smart enough to come up with a way to separate the parts and then ship them together and assemble them. Actually, even if you sue me, I won't make this kind of thing. Our guild doesn't have that much money to build such a big mobile city, no, not just that big, even if it's smaller. Even if it's only a tenth of this, the money to be used is not something we can afford to bear. ”

Rose smiled and said: "Actually, we can't afford it, but this time someone paid for me, and more than half of the money I made in Indonesia some time ago was thrown in." ”

Ashuford shouted unconvinced: "What is that money, even if you throw all the money from the auction in Indonesia, it will be a profit of 10,000 percent!" You're basically buying a real city with the money you used to buy a city model. ”

I immediately said, "I know we are making a lot of money, but this is the compensation of the original city, and it can't be considered a complete profit." In the past, Isenger also had to count the money, but I admit that he did take advantage of it. ”

As we spoke, the huge tracks were fully extended, and 400 tracks landed at the same time. Then there was the sound of a creaking metal part being weighed down. Although we use lightweight materials and we have eliminated a lot of unnecessary equipment, Eichinger is a city after all. This weight is still not light. The ground contact area of 400 tracks is already very large, but the ground still cannot fully withstand such a large pressure, and all the tracks have sunk down more than two meters before it can be implemented, but this depth is not enough for the huge tracks to be any problem. Proportionally, the subsidence at this depth is a little smaller than the proportion of the subsidence of a regular tank track on the ground.

When all the tracks are successfully grounded, Walmart uses the leaves of the new City Tree to give instructions to the new City Tree. "Put away the center support."

With a click, the big jack in the middle of the city began to rise slowly. Since the jack is underneath the smooth Sky Stone, it doesn't bring much dirt with it when it's put away. It took two minutes and twenty-seven seconds for the big jack to be retracted, and the big machine was really sluggish!

Walmart picked up the leaf again. "City Tree, send power to the thrusters, don't be too big at first, just a little bit."

With a creak, 400 huge tracks roared at the same time. There was a sound of metal twisting, and the city actually began to move. This time is different from when there was only a frame, and now the city is very heavy, and this is the real situation. It must be able to operate normally under such conditions to be considered qualified.

Isinger finally started to move, and the initial appearance was not bad. I also picked up the leaves of the City Tree and asked it to speed up while using its own roots to check the pressure withering of each part, and to stop testing it as soon as it was in danger. With a gradual increase in speed. Those of us standing next to us could clearly feel the shaking of the earthquake beneath our feet. As soon as this behemoth moved, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and it is estimated that if you want to sneak close to the enemy in the future, unless you pass through the sky, the enemy will be able to feel the vibration dozens of kilometers away.

As the speed gradually increases, the city tree calculates the safe speed, because the city is too heavy, the burden on the support system is very large, and the maximum combat speed of the city in full combat configuration can at most reach the speed of ordinary people jogging. Although the maximum safe speed can reach the speed of a human trot, considering international practice, the equipment is generally set aside for a safe range, so we limit the normal cruising speed in urban areas to the normal walking speed of ordinary humans, unless there is an emergency. Otherwise, it must not enter the maximum combat speed.

After testing his ground speed, Asford was surprised to stop talking, but what happened next surprised him even more. Isenger stopped first. Then it began to rise. When the city hovered after 50 meters of ascent, the tracks began to retract into the city, the armor plates returned to position to close the hole, and the city completely returned to what it was when it was on the ground.

Asford asked, "It's a pity that the city can move on the ground and fly, but unfortunately it can't fly in the air!" ”

I laughed a little and said, "I'll let you see the miracle right away." ”

"Miracles? What do you say? Asford asked me.

I pointed at Issinger, and Ashford looked over quickly. Inside Issinger. The gravity defying device in the track splint that had been dragged up the city was still working, but the tram-like equipment on the track ring in the center of the city suddenly all lit up. The things made a slight vibrational sound and gradually lit up, while the gravity defying devices underneath the tracks gradually reduced their power and eventually shut down.

At this time, Issinger was completely dragged and stopped in the air by the device under the orbital ring, but the people outside could not see the change. The devices under the track rings suddenly started to work, the steel idlers began to rotate, and the friction caused the track to move in the opposite direction. Under Asford's astonished gaze, Issinger actually spun. After the city slowly turned 135 degrees, the wheels on the devices stopped pulling at the same time, and the city continued to rotate by inertia, and when the angle of rotation reached 165 degrees, some strange clips clicked and jammed the wheels. These are actually brake pads. It's just a different shape. The wheels are affected by the brake pads and begin to gradually slow down and transfer the force to the rail ring, which in turn transmits the force to the entire city. After rotating 180 degrees, Issinger finally stopped accurately, and the brakes of the City Tree Control were indeed very accurate.

It wasn't until the city came to a complete stop that Ashford remembered to grab me and yelled, "What's that?" Could it be that you've figured out a solution to the gravity defiance device's space locking problem? Say goodbye to me. How does that thing move? I'm willing to pay for it, you can buy whatever you want. ”

"Calm down, calm down." I held Asford down and said, "Don't rush yet, wait until the presentation is over and talk, okay?" ”

"Is there anything else you can show?" Asford asked curiously.

"Even if you don't, at least you'll let me finish the test!"

"Okay!" Asford quickly calmed down.

Energy brushes popped out of Issinger's track supports, and these brushes came into contact with the energy probes of the gravity resistance device extending outside the track splint, so the gravity resistance device was quickly activated. When the gravity defying devices under these tracks are activated, those under the track rings quickly turn off the power. The City Tree controlled the power pipes and began to send energy to the engines of the track thrusters, and the huge tracks began to spin, and the city naturally followed suit.

Asford watched with his mouth open as Isengh panned across the sky, then turned around and asked, "How fast can this thing go?" ”

"Don't worry! This is also our first time testing, and the results will be back in a moment. ”

Issinger's momentum is actually very large, and the speed at which it can move is not limited because the drag is greater than the momentum. Rather, we are worried that the city is too fast, and the huge kinetic energy will scatter the supporting structure. On the ground, the terrain is affected, and the support structures are under a lot of pressure, so no matter what we do, we can't increase the speed, but it's different in the air. There are no obstacles here. So the speed can be slightly faster. However, the air is not a smooth river, and the change of air flow has a great impact on the city. The size of the Esinger makes it very susceptible to air currents, especially those wells, which are like potholes in the ground. It is easy for a car to break the suspension system when it rushes through a large crater in the ground at high speed, and it is easy for an airplane to break its wings when it encounters a large gas well in the air. Issinger moves like a car on the ground and is like an airplane when liftoff, both of which are dangerous.

After our testing, we concluded that although the gas well was also dangerous, it was much better than the uneven ground. On the premise of safety, Issinger can reach a maximum air speed of 30 kilometers per hour. It's still slow. But at least it's much better than on the ground. However, there is a precondition that Issinger cannot stop instantly at this speed. The safe ground speed in Isengh is 5 kilometers per hour, which allows the city to stop within 100 meters. Not in the air. A speed of 30 kilometers per hour is dangerous for Issinger, who must start decelerating 10 minutes before he stops, during which time he will have to go more than 1,000 meters before he can stop completely.

After the air and ground tests, we moved on to the final ground and water tests. The three basic levels of Isenger are covered, and all entrances have waterproof partitions made by Atlantis, meaning that Isenger is completely impervious to water. Because most of the materials used throughout the city are light, and the interior is very spacious, Esinger's will not completely sink in the water at all.

In this test, we plan to go to the city to get a feel for it. As soon as everyone entered the city, Isenger began to move towards the sea. Because the city is relatively large. The depth of the sea is certainly not suitable, and we must fly to the deep sea. It took more than two hours to reach a deep enough area, and after Eichinger began to descend slowly, such a big guy can't get into the water too quickly, or it will turn into a tsunami.

The fog created by the Divine Fog Wind Chimes obscured a large area around it, and the nearby fleets avoided it far away when they saw the fog, and no one would be stupid enough to rush into the fog. After the city hits the water, we slowly reduce the power of the gravity resistance device, and the city begins to slowly decline because it does not have enough support force. When the gravity defying devices were completely turned off, Isenger was finally able to truly float on the surface of the sea. Due to the weight, the entire base layer has been completely launched, and the middle layer and command level are like islands on the water. Because the gravity defying devices have all been turned off. The city began to shake like a boat, but only slightly. Such a big guy wave can't affect it too much. The mechanical layer at the bottom of the Esinger is simply the best ballast, and the city floats steadily on the sea.

Ashuford said excitedly: "It's okay now." You have a super sea fortress, and I'm afraid the fleet will be out of the way in the future. ”

I smiled and said, "It's impossible for Isinger to replace the fleet, it's indeed much more powerful than the fleet in terms of combat effectiveness, but this guy is too slow." Most of the ships should be safe to dodge it if they wanted to! ”

"That's it." Aschoford also understood that speed was Issinger's only flaw. "Alright Ziri, you're lucky enough. Although the Isenger is not fast enough, it is not a battleship, and its target should be the enemy's city. Other people's cities don't run, so it doesn't matter how slow you are. ”

"That's it."

Ashuford said: "Actually, I think it's very easy for you to even attack the city, as long as you fly to the top of people's heads and then land. No city can withstand the weight of your city, it will definitely be flattened. ”

"Don't have bad ideas! Isenger's defense is indeed high enough, but if you use your own weight to press, the bottom of the city will definitely break, and it is not cost-effective to exchange Issinger for someone else's small city. ”

"Your stuff is precious!"

"What can I do! Cheap is not good, good is not cheap. The HKSE strategic bombers of the Americans know, right? The take-off weight is about to catch up with the airship, the speed is not much slower than that of a fighter, and it is also anti-radar and anti-infrared, but one plane costs 15 billion, and as long as one plane is dropped, a large number of people will have to be replaced in the US ** political circles. Everyone said that Na Zhao was more expensive than the president. It's the same in my city, although it's the best in terms of attack and defense, but the cost is definitely the best. This time, if the big boss helps me pay, I simply do it in one step, and I can only use it carefully. I also repaired the peripheral equipment when it was broken. If I damage an entire layer of equipment, I'll go bankrupt. ”

"It's a little expensive, but it's worth the money!" Ashford suddenly screamed. "That's right. Gravity resistance devices don't only go up, what happens if you increase the pressure and go down? ”

"You mean turning Isenger into a submarine? We've thought about it for a long time, and it's possible, but unfortunately it's hard to imagine how slow it will be after the dive. ”

"Why?" Ashuford couldn't understand what I was saying. "Why are you slowing down when you have enough motivation?"

Walmart explains: "It's not about power, it's about shape. ”

"What's wrong with Eikata?"

"Isenger is not a submarine, it doesn't have a perfect fluid shape, it can only move slowly if it is fully launched, and if it is fast, the resistance of the superstructure will cause the city to tilt backwards, if we use gravity resistance to force the ground. Cities will break, and if they don't press, they will simply fall over. So if you dive, you can't speed up at all. However, we know a way to move quickly on the surface. ”

"Water?"

"Yes. As long as you find the corresponding current and run along the current, you should be able to reach the speed of an ordinary warship, at least faster than on land and in the sky. The city is relatively large, and it can accept the thrust of the water very well, and it is definitely the most suitable for rafting. ”

"I think it's better to forget it!" "Most of the world's ocean currents cannot be exploited because they are turbulent. There are only a few routes to the Rush Current that are far away from you and are not available to you. ”

I nodded. "Actually, we didn't plan to run in the sea. The reason for going into the water is to save energy. The gravity defying device was designed by your guild. You should know this better than I do. The way Isinger propels it determines that it will consume a lot of energy when using gravity defy devices, but energy is the most precious thing, and we really can't do anything about it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made so much effort to get the city running on the ground. Flying with a gravity defy device is truly spectacular, and the safety and speed are better than on the ground, but those gravitational defy devices you designed are simply burning money! ”

Ashford actually patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "Haha, you finally know that my land is in pain, right?" Why do you think I sold you the gravity defy device in the first place? Don't I know how to use such a precious strategic material? It's not all because of the terrifying consumption rate of the gravity defence device, I think it's a chicken rib technology that doesn't have much use value at all, so it's so cheap to sell to you. ”

"It turns out that this guy of yours planned it like this, no wonder it was sold so cheaply in the first place!"

I was about to hit Ashford, but he suddenly blocked my fist and said, "Don't just talk about me! You're not a good person yourself. Those high-grade steel are so expensive for me, if it weren't for the fact that the quality is really good, and I wouldn't have spent so much money to buy it if I didn't sell it elsewhere! ”

I smiled awkwardly: "Tacit and untactful!" Hahahaha! ”

Xingyue, who was standing next to her, touched her arm and shuddered: "Two profiteers!" ”

Rose smiled and said, "It's because they're all profiteers that they've been working together for so long." An auxiliary utopia without a foundation is always just a dream. ”

Ah Xiufu laughed with me for a long time and suddenly asked, "By the way, you tell me the truth, how did you solve the method of designing the space lock of the gravity resistance device, tell me quickly." ”

I first ordered the City Tree to fight against the land before I said to Ashford: "Actually, this design does not solve the problem of the spatial locking of the gravity resistance device, we just avoid the problem, but after all, it is to avoid the past, at least the gravity resistance device has practical value." Are you trying to do it for the sake of our invention? ”

"It's dark!" Ashford thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay! But you're just avoiding it, not solving, and the price can't be too high, right? ”

"I don't have high requirements, in the future, when your guild's technological achievements are resold land, we must give priority to our guild, and we can't sell others if we don't want you. And your guild's warships, unless you build them yourself, you must order them from us, and the price is 95% or 7% of the market price. Is it okay to mention yì? ”

"You're too dark, aren't you?" Ashford exclaimed, "Looks like you don't want anything. In fact, these two contracts were blocked in all the external channels of my guild at once. I know you want to unify Asia, but you don't have to tie me to your chariot, right? ”

"Isn't it a popular league these days? I'll have at least one less enemy to tie you up outside my chariot! If you feel that you have suffered a loss, you can add another one, after the scientific and technological achievements of our guild come out, you can have the right of first refusal, and the price is not preferential, how about it? So you don't have to lose, right? Our guild's scientific and technological research and development strength is no worse than yours! ”

"Okay, okay!" Ashuford is also a smart person, and when he saw that the benefits were almost there, he immediately nodded: "Science and technology resource sharing, I agreed." ”

After signing the agreement, Ashoford and I went to the lower mechanical floor, where the huge tracks were still running. Asford didn't know that there was a gravity defy device in the mezzanine of the tracks, and the tracks had been retracted as our city moved through the air, so he didn't see it. After seeing the operation of this operating system, Asford was completely dumbfounded. "That's how you avoid?"

"What's wrong? Any questions? Asford said, "This is too ...... Too...... Too easy, right? ”

"Technology is sometimes not as complex as people think. A simple adjustment avoids the heavy dà defect, which is also a form of the technique. ”

"What about turns?" Asford asked, "How do you turn?" These tracks don't seem to be able to turn the city, do they? ”

"This is complicated by another device." We took Asford to the bottom of the orbital ring and pointed it out to him. "See that thing? When the city is completely still, we activate the gravity defy devices in those pods. Then turn off the gravity resistance device under the track. The pods can move around the track, but it's the track itself that moves when the gravity defy device is activated. ”

"You're going to use this thing to turn?"

"Isn't it great?" I asked, looking at Asford.

Ashford exclaimed, "Ah! I was scammed! You big liar! ”

"What did I lie to you?"

Asford shouted, "I was going to buy this method back to build an air battleship, but you can't turn around if you don't stop, how can you let me build an air battleship?" ”

Walmart suddenly said, "Who said it can't be done?" ”

"Okay?"

"Of course." Walmart swore and said, "Give me 13 days, and I promise to give you a combat flying machine." ”

I looked at Walmart in surprise: "What did you say?" Can you really build an air battleship? "I myself was surprised, because I always thought that such a gravity resistance device, which could not be steered, would not be able to produce an air warship.

Ashuford also asked excitedly, "Is it really possible?" ”

Walmart said: "Battleships can't build ground. We all wilted when we heard this, but Walmart quickly continued, "But we can build small flying machines." ”

"How small?"

Walmart thought for a moment and said, "A single or double flying machine, if you can find good materials, you may be able to make a three-person flying machine larger." Probably it will be a problem! I just have a preliminary idea, and the specific things will not be determined until they are made. ”

I immediately said excitedly, "Then do it!" Why didn't you talk about such a useful thing earlier? ”

"I also just came up with the idea of a design solution. Actually, this new land idea is also a way to circumvent the space-locking properties of the gravity resistance device, but my idea is even more exaggerated, and it is not impossible to build a large warship based on it in the future if it is thoroughly improved. ”

"Big ...... Type...... War...... Warship? "Ashford and I looked and spoke exactly the same, with a green glint in our eyes.

Hongyue shook her head again beside her: "Sure enough, like gathers like things!" ”
