Chapter 176: The Palace

"It looks like the First World Figure War is about to start. Zhou Zhongmou muttered to himself, holding the statistics of shipments in his hand, "The entire continent has purchased a total of three hundred and two magic machine soldiers, and all of them have gritted their teeth and spent money on next-generation modifications." "Actually, these people have a very dark heart, and they did not cancel the original magic crystal cannon on both wrists after installing live-ammunition type firearms under the guidance of the dragon technician sent by Zhou Zhongmou. Moreover, Zhou Zhongmou could see that these countries were each researching the magic machine - this can be seen from the artificial muscles and artificial brains they imported, as well as the most important magic conversion engine. They imported far more than they needed for normal maintenance - like artificial brains and mana conversion engines, two magical creations that barely needed maintenance unless they were broken in battle.

This is indeed true, as a country like the Duchy of Belken will never give up its efforts to build its own magic machine. Although they admit that they have no way to do anything about the magic conversion engine, they have made considerable progress in their research on artificial brains and artificial muscles - in fact, they can create artificial muscles that are no less advanced or more powerful, and artificial brains are not difficult to make. But they can't get the raw material Remilet Island is unique in this regard, the brain stem of the large insects needed to make the artificial brain is okay, and some mutated large insects can indeed be found on the mainland, but there is really no way to make the special fungus needed for artificial muscles - without the magic power and Misha's catalysis on Remiret Island, the tendons obtained by hunting large insects alone cannot make artificial muscles.

Although it is a pity, it seems that the ambitious countries of the mainland still have to be constrained by objective conditions. However, the emphasis on imports is other than those rare materials and odachite produced on the island of Remiret. That is, the semi-finished product of the magic conversion engine and artificial muscles. Zhou Zhongmou didn't have the idea of getting stuck at all. As far as the mainland countries pay the right price, then the magic conversion engine and artificial muscles are open for sale. "Just let me add some fuel to the situation. ”

At this time, the Duchy of Belken was trying hard to lick the wounds of the Belken war, and this monster was not only rejuvenated in a short period of time, but also stronger than before - at least the hundreds of thousands of soldiers with war experience were a big gain. Now the floating warship has completely replaced the status of the land warship, the land warship due to the terrain and speed limitations, can not be compared with the floating warship, all the countries with a little strength have let the land warship gradually withdraw from the most important point of national equipment. But the Army still needs these land warships, anyway. At the very least, these big guys can carry enough infantry and provisions, and at the same time provide fire support and cover for the infantry, and they are also good at assaulting the ground defense line.

However, as we all know, land warships are quite powerless in the face of floating warships, and it is a big engineering problem to equip them with heavy artillery that can raise the firing angle to a high angle to attack floating warships. In the face of the guns of floating battleships and the large bombs dropped, land battleships can only use bursting small-caliber guns to fight. Therefore, the magic armor that can fly has also become a lifesaver for the army, and in any case, if the land battleship can carry the magic armor, then you can still resist against the bastards who shit and pee on them in the sky. This is very marketable among many old-school military personnel who are reluctant to let the land warships gradually disappear.

But in any case, the state budget has its limits, so land warships are gradually disappearing from the production line. As for Zhou Zhongmou, he can also buy a fairly new land warship at a relatively cheap price. But the problem with Yan zhòng is that even if he buys it, he can't ship it. Damn the ocean, those sea kings have wiped out all ocean-going heavy loads. For this reason, Zhou Zhongmou also transformed into a black beast, trying to see if he could attack those sea kings from the sky. His attempt failed, and Zhou Zhongmou's transformation in the water did not have much combat power to speak of. He couldn't defeat these large octopuses, sharks, squid, and so on in the water, and in the end he had to give up trying to buy land warships from the mainland.

But fortunately, there are new games to do - now Zhou Zhongmou can finally play the large airship. Known as the palace in the sky, the airship was designed for Misha from the very beginning. Designed in the style of shape and decoration according to her own hobbies, this airship is like a rugby ball on earth, unlike the general design of floating airbags at the top and the loading compartment at the bottom, due to the large magic conversion engine as the power source, the main structure of the airship with more floating ability is above the airbags. The airship was originally designed to be unable to drive enough anti-gravity circles due to lack of power, so as to use lighter gases such as hot air to provide enough buoyancy. The current mana conversion engine is enough to power the anti-gravity circles engraved on the exterior and interior of the hard airbags, and this is actually a different kind of floating battleship.

But in order to save energy and provide greater buoyancy, the hard airbags of this sky palace are still filled with the product of magic alchemy - a very light but non-flammable gas, which is divided into multiple separate airbags that can be overhauled and reinflated at any time. This is something that Zhou Zhongmou specially made for Misha, which is actually a small palace flying in the sky.

The 300-meter-long airbag has a flat top, an oval 120 meters wide, and an area of more than 28,000 square meters to build a two-story palace made of light and strong carapace and wooden materials, as well as a garden - as for the plants inside, it happens to be Misha's specialty. The palace has thick vines for structural strengthening, and these vines are also the core of the entire airship's power - Misha's connection pipe to the magic conversion engine, with these vines, no matter where Misha is in the palace, she can constantly input her magic power to power the conversion engine. On the outside of the airbag, there is an elaborate and graceful skeleton elevator leading to the bottom, and there is a lower cabin integrated with the hard airbag, where a considerable part of the supply and a luxurious suite of hotels and observation decks are located. The Sky Palace is the largest airship ever built, but without a metal structure, it's lighter than all floating warships. In terms of its own weight, it is only more than 2,000 tons, and there is no firepower for self-defense, but the magic conversion engine and the amplified propulsion system of the matching magic machine make this thing extremely defensive - the magic shield brought by Misha's magic power and will is more powerful than any magic machine soldier.

Misha was very satisfied with the palace in the sky that Zhou Zhongmou had built for her, for which she did everything she did with Zhou Zhongmou in any kind of shameful posture, and this palace won the attention and envy of all those present on the first day of its construction, and the luxury of the royal family of Remilet soon spread. It's a pity that the mainland countries can't learn it, they don't have a magic value like Misha that can be called terrifying among humans - since Misha has also changed, her magic value has changed from 3 to 10 for ordinary humans to more than 4,000, which is almost the Cheng dù of a big monster bird or a poisonous monster bird.
