The Rift Valley's workshop area has grown sixfold in size compared to its original size, with a large number of dwarves filling the vacancies in artisans, and for the first time there is a shortage of raw materials brought in from the Savages.

With the help of the Myrcanon Core and the High Creation Circle, the Rift of the Heim Territory has surpassed the entire steel production capacity of the New World in the past, including the production of Mora's Peak. Gold, silver, lead, tin, copper, and other materials were also produced, and if all of them were made into currency, they would be large enough to directly destroy the economy of any kingdom.

Fortunately, Siegel has long understood the true meaning of wealth, and he values the use value of things more than the exchange value. The gold and silver that Heim had led to was not used to make gold coins, and almost nothing was leaked out, but all went into the underground warehouses of Myr City.

"There must be tens of millions of gold coins in stock, which is still a very conservative estimate. The well-intentioned people in the workshop area came to this conclusion after statistics: "If you add precious stones and other rare minerals, the treasury of Lord Marquis Siegel is worth at least 100 million gold coins. ”

Siegel relied on his transportation and smelting skills to gain a great deal of wealth, and his treasury became a dream for thieves from all over the world. For a time, Mir City became a gathering place for "treasure adventurers", who tried to find a place to store the hundreds of millions of gold coins. But all the thieves knew that the enemy they were facing was an archmage, and one of the strongest in the world who had mastered the Mir Core. Reckless actions can only be taken out by spell traps and guards, and only the most elaborate plans are likely to succeed.

Someone did succeed. With the help of some magic scrolls and props, a halfling wanderer named Phoba finds Siegel's vault. He thought there would be endless treasures here, but all he saw was an empty room and a portal that shimmered with rainbow light.

Siegel spent almost all of his gold and silver treasures. Used to buy materials for the creation of magic ships. No party in the Thunder Wall World could provide him with such a large amount of various precious materials. Connecting to the Outlands (Outer Planes) is only possible through the Atlas Gate. He uses astral projections to safely reach the center of the Outlands, the Gate City. Negotiate with the merchants here. Precious metals such as gold and silver are less valuable in the outer realm than in the main material plane, but they are still popular commodities that can be exchanged for some scarce resources that cannot be obtained by the Federation.

The ultimate goal of trading with the Outlands is not yet resources, but high-level spell scrolls. Since each crystal wall has its own characteristics, there is a lot of variation in the composition of spells, but it is much better than guessing without scrolls. Siegel sent a commission through merchants in the outer realms, hoping to find a world that was also dominated by the four elements of "earth, water, wind, and fire", and asked the mages of this world to purchase high-level spell scrolls. These spells may be able to give impetus to the study of spells in the world of the Thunder Wall. Dramatically reduce the risk of research.

When the halfling found the treasury, Siegel was in the Outlands, so the Otherworldly Gate was opened. Although Fuba was cautious, he was still sucked in by the Otherworldly Gate and thrown into the Gate City. His adventures are another story, and Siegel returned without noticing that there had been an uninvited guest, and he simply closed the door to the Otherworld.

Beneath the empty treasury, fifty meters deep, is a huge cavern where the lucky Soth is under construction. Aside from digging through the dirt, only precisely positioned teleportation can reach this place. Siegel arranged for four oversized earth elementals to patrol around the cave. On the one hand, it prevents creatures with burrowing speed from accidentally approaching, and on the other hand, it also prevents vibrations caused by construction.

The cavern is still within range of the Myron Core. So both the Maker Golem and the Lamp God will work. Every night, Siegel sends parts and materials to the cavern with teleportation spells, and the builders assemble them according to the drawings of the Golem maker.

The whole ship is complete, and now all that remains is for it to awaken to its self-awareness. Siegel arrives on the Lucky Soth with a number of smart magic items purchased from the Outlands, using them all as spellcasting materials. The Fire Soul Crystal is also one of the necessary items, and many of the Fire Soul Crystals have fallen into the hands of adventurers, so its price is on a downward trend, otherwise it would be really difficult for Siegel to get this kind of thing.

Siegel created a blank lamp god, a lamp god soul without any magical skills, and had only two requirements for it: obey the orders of the maker and perceive and manipulate itself. Siegel then began to combine the spirit of the lamp god with the magic ship. He needed to travel to every corner of the ship, causing all the elements to vibrate at a special frequency and permeate every inch of the material. The control network of the elemental aggregates and the energy delivery network of the plasma are constantly operating in this process, which means that Siegel repeats the process three or four times.

It's the most complex magical device Siegel has ever made, and even the Myr Core is only a part of it. Unlike the original plan, a large and a small core are installed on the spacecraft, and the small core will only be used as a supplement at special moments. The ship's main armament is the electromagnetic cannon, which is installed in all directions of the ship, with the exception of the main cannon on the front deck that can withstand the effects of space-time shocks.

The spaceship itself is a miniature magic tower, but the owner of the magic tower is not Siegel, but the god of lights who is about to wake up. The Lamp God itself has no spell powers, only Siegel can cast spells on it, and then the Lamp God is transferring the magic beyond the hull of the ship. This is a very inefficient transformation process, but in order to be able to make the whole ship a soul and not an object, the only way to do this is to give ownership of all the parts to the god of lights.

The construction of the entire ship was completely secret, and even the Federation did not know the composition of the ship. Without the help of the Federation Mage, Siegel would not have been able to build a mana pool by himself. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, using variable modular magic array plates to simulate different spell effects. This allows the ship to unleash Illumination, Repair, Mage's Hand, Teleportation, Magic Missile, Electroclaw, Shield, Elemental Damage Resistance, and Secondary Invisibility even in Siegel's absence.

Each elemental side brain is equivalent to a spell casting node, and there are a total of one hundred and eight such nodes scattered throughout the ship. The ship's caster level is very low, and a node can only fire three magic missiles. But if the whole ship attacks with all its might. Theoretically, it is capable of firing 324 missiles at a time. It's just because of the perspective. It's not possible for all magic missiles to attack the same target.

Siegel manipulated the elemental shocks. Constantly wandering around the cabin. He stroked the ship as if he were his second child. The cabin is structured in an "otherworldly" style, with text and drawings created by Siegel using a set of cultural backgrounds known as "Zenith". The number system is in decimal and represents the equation with a mixture of numbers and symbols. This is what the "writer" learned from the process of using mathematics to explain the text, and once the mathematical structure is changed, the logical structure is completely modified, and such a language is the most difficult to decipher. Siegel designed the language to be learned unless it was all learned. Otherwise, it is impossible to push back the structure, thus enhancing the secrecy effect of the magic ship.

Even Siegel himself had a hard time using this set, let alone anyone else. Fortunately, the knowledge of the Lamp God Control Center was instilled in Siegel, and there would be no problem in communicating between the two. Siegel slowly teaches the lamp god the various organs on his "body" at its core, teaches him how to manipulate his two hearts, and slowly learns how to resist gravity.

It's an uninterrupted process, and it's a full five days of sleepless work before the final spell can be successfully cast. Siegel sees this process as childbirth, and he already has a son, Isaac, so he directs the newborn lamp god in the direction of his daughter. Especially since the ship was shot as a battleship. Maybe the feminine personality can make it less aggressive?

Among the art decorations of the whole ship's "Zenith Star", only one room is in the style of the Thunder Wall Continent. Siegel blended two of his most affectionate locations, the sailor's cabin of the Soth and the main fort of Myr. The main body of the Lantern God's core is placed in this place called the "Mir Cabin".

The apparent command module was another room, still a place to confuse and cast tricks. The real core is in the "Mir Cabin", and only if you have been here can you accurately locate it, and only by precise teleportation can you reach this place. It was here that Siegel taught the Lord of Lights the core knowledge and examined the operation of every ship's components.

With the Mir Energy Core running at full capacity, the Lamp God Core gradually replaced Siegel's consciousness and took over the entire ship. The anti-gravity circle caused it to break away from the dock and float in the middle of the cavern.

All the electromagnetic cannons can be turned, and the whole ship is fully armed. The Circle of Creation powered by the Myrnon Core can provide unlimited ammunition, and as long as it is not trapped in the Void, the ship's endurance is unlimited. The only raw material that needs to be replenished frequently is iron, a common metal used for the ship's maintenance circles to avoid wear and tear. Siegel has loaded the hold with enough iron to run for a hundred years, even in the event of a big war. After all, the spaceship mainly appears in the form of a stellar projection, and its body is basically not worn.

"Master, I want to change my name. The god of lights suddenly spoke, "You said that the lucky Soth sank in a shipwreck, so the name is not lucky. ”

Siegel wasn't surprised at all, this state was a manifestation of the ship's self-awareness. "What's the name you come up with?"

"Xingsuo," said the Lantern God, "I was born to lock in the development of a planet, and this name could not be more appropriate." ”

The name is still influenced to a certain extent by the "Lucky Soth", and the core of the god of lights is still based on the will of Siegel. Siegel ordered the Starrope to smash the dock's bracket with a magic missile, clearing a clearing, and then landed safely in the clearing. After finding a comfortable position to "lie on the stomach", the two of them will have the most important test.

Siegel pressed one hand to the core of the god of lights as he chanted aloud the Astral Projection incantation. The power of the elemental tremor is transmitted from Siegel to the core of the god of lights, and is then accepted by the god of lights. This step went very smoothly, and the Lantern God Core was considered to be a participant in a spell, possessing self-awareness and the ability to manifest in the astral plane.

The energy of the spell spread, expanding a hundred feet before it stopped. Siegel's own strength is at its limit, and he can only maintain this range. However, the power of the Myrnon Core was added to help Siegel continue to expand the coverage of the astral projection. Although the spell took twice as long as usual, that is, a full thirty minutes of chanting, the Starrope finally managed to bring Siegel to the astral plane.

Siegel needs to rest, and so does the nucleus. The Star began to conduct a self-inspection to see if there were any missing functions and parts.

In the end, it was found that only the iron ingots and other goods in the cargo hold were not brought over, most likely due to the limitation of the mass of the objects carried by the astral projection. After firing hundreds of rounds of electromagnetic cannons at the Star Boundary, Siegel ordered the Star Rope to return along the Silver Line.

It took a full thirty seconds for such a large object to leave the astral plane, much slower than Siegel's instantaneous return. In this way, if you face enemies that can damage the Astral Silverline, you will be very passive. But then again, the probability that a combat ship and an archmage won't be able to stop the enemy from cutting the silver thread is too low.

"The experiment was successful, congratulations on your zero birthday, Xingsuo!" Siegel patted the core of the lamp god: "Continue to familiarize yourself with your body, the day of our sailing together is not far off!" (To be continued.) )

PS: I don't know how many people know the meme of decimal 11 and weird math formulas. Hint: it's a nice sci-fi book with the plot.
