Chapter 168: Breakthrough
Sleep Town.
Adventurer's Guild, President's Office.
Ian got quite a bit of goodies from an adventurous attempted dungeon.
The most basic requirements, the profane stones used to construct the artificial canopy, amounted to a staggering 890 blocks.
Not all of them came from golems, and in the final 7 minutes of the countdown, Ian demolished all the traps and buildings made of desecrated stones.
The dismantling uses the ability of the MC.
The Phantasmal Star Breaker Pickaxe is in the hands of the construction team, and Ian is using an upgraded Alloy Pickaxe made of spaceship alloy.
The alloy pickaxe power to collect blasphemous stones can be described as simple, and after the pieces are removed, Ian's weight will explode directly.
He slays monsters in the dungeon and obtains a dagger called the Crystal Impaler.
The dungeon has a special setting, as long as you complete the hidden mission, you can upgrade the crystallized weapon to a higher quality.
The Silver Crystal Impiercer has been upgraded to Gold quality, though it is still very different from real gold.
Once crafted, it is a gold-quality piece of equipment, such as the Hourglass of Time, which has the ability to manipulate time.
This is something that crystalline piercers can't match.
Its ability to unleash a crystallized debuff for abilities has been enhanced along with the quality boost to the Gold sequence.
The original crystal, each skill damage, can be stacked with 5% of the progress of the crystal anomaly bar.
Now, Ian can stack 15% at a time, and after a few times, the effect of playing the light of alienation is simple.
The skill in the player's hand is different from the skill released by the monster.
Crystalline monsters already possess alienated light, and the effects of their skills are very dangerous.
After the player learns, the power is reduced by 45%, and it takes three casts to deduct the full mana of a target and crystallize the opponent.
"President, the research on living crystals has reached the first stage."
Arya reports to Ian.
The so-called first stage refers to the ability to be put into use and ensure that there is a ability to resolve anomalies in the event of an exception.
It can be regarded as the current level of science and technology of Bluestar, for example, if the successfully developed car encounters a car accident, Bluestar has the corresponding means to deal with it.
"What kind of benefits will it bring us?"
Ian asked with interest.
The analysis of ancient knowledge by the current civilization has been greatly improved in the current civilization technology.
It is quite normal for the progress of resolving live crystals to be quite fast.
Arya handed a document to Ian.
There are some patterns of magic machines drawn on the materials.
Roughly similar to what Ian envisioned, if the mystical side civilization wants to go further, it will have to move closer to magic technology.
With the help of the technology side, Magic Technology is not a completely unfamiliar field.
The researcher on the technology side of the moon base, and the mage on the mysterious side got together to talk, which looked really like a cross-server chat, but it was unexpectedly understandably weird.
Eventually, a modern underground sewer management system, with a magic circuit system, came into play.
γName:Hetero-light live crystal greenhouseγ
[Source: Magic Technology]
[Effect: Use controllable different light as a catalyst to crystallize a certain amount of magic power and convert it into living crystals.] γ
[Efficiency: 1000 Mana/1 Living Crystal]
[Description: A symmetrical greenhouse with a length of 200 meters and a width of 41 meters, emitting a level of unstable light of 0.2 per minute to a nearby half meter.] γ
Through the study of alienated light, a greenhouse for the mass production of living crystals was created.
This kind of technology was originally an unattainable field in modern civilization, but with Ian's help, it was not only successfully researched, but even put into use.
There are several more living crystal greenhouses in Changmian Town, which can be made into living crystals every day with the current excess magic power.
Scourge: Alien Light Crystal, its infectious power does not come from Crystallization, but from Alien Light.
However, the ownership of the alien light is related to the camp that releases the alien light, and the player understands the skill alienation light, and can alienate the enemy into the crystallization of their own safety.
This is also known as controlled salient light.
Another technology unlocked by studying the blueprint is the effect of the Living Crystal itself.
"We've discovered that living crystals can be used to reflect magic."
Arya's simple narrative.
After realizing that Ian didn't understand the role of the machine too much, she explained in more depth:
"The mages first created a refractive mirror and cast their magic on it."
"The mirror has been calculated to be able to withstand a volume/10 units of magic power, and no more than this level, the mirror can fully reflect magic."
"Borrowing the principle of reflection, we only need to install refracting mirrors in various places and then adjust their orientation ......"
"Magic that originally had a short range will be reflected again and again to a terrifying range."
Well?
Ian understands a little, but he didn't expect that every time the refractor reflects the magic, it will reset the range that the magic already has?
In this case......
"That's right!" Arya nodded vigorously.
She pointed to the pattern of the rainbow cannon on the document:
"We can build a lot of rainbow cannons in a certain area, which is not only easy to manage, but also the easiest way to charge the iridescent cannons."
"As for the range, by aiming the rainbow cannon at the refractory mirror, adjust the direction of the mirror, and continue to fire the cannon with the force that the mirror can withstand."
"That's it! We can attack any angle on the planet! β
What the heck?!
Ian was shocked by Arya's idea.
What exactly did the mages of Eternal Sleep Town come up with, and were they planning to activate the Rainbow Light Core?
But I have to admit it...... With enough refractor mirrors to increase its range, the Rainbow Cannon can easily fire 90-degree refraction, 360-degree rotation, and other scalp-numbing shelling.
As long as you are on the planet, the rainbow cannon will definitely be able to hit, which is really creepy.
No one wants their peaceful and harmonious daily life to be suddenly destroyed by a rainbow cannon falling from the sky!
This thing is the main gun removed from a starship!
"Hoo ......"
Ian took a deep breath.
"I get it, this plan can be done, but it doesn't need to be a high priority."
There's no way an invader will arrive in the White Hole System, right? Aside from the Starlight Plague, there isn't much danger on the planet.
As for the Starlight Plague, they are inert and do not pose much of a threat, so it is only right to continue research.
Heterogeneous live crystal greenhouse, refractive mirror
In addition to these two magic technologies, another invention has been unlocked.
Living crystal golems
In the final stages of the dungeon, Ian found the anomaly hidden among the players, which was a complete living crystal golem.
Living crystal puppets can replace basic manpower and perform some complex fixed work.
For example, he patrols the town of Eternal Sleep on time every day to provide some assistance to adventurers when they encounter danger.
There are also some heavy loads under 1 ton.
Most of the heavy objects in this part are the corpse of a monster, or pieces of disintegrating rubble.
The prison architects recruited laborers, who were just ordinary people in terms of physical strength, could not carry overweight to their destinations.
A blue crystalline humanoid appeared in Ian's eyes.
"This is the first living crystal puppet, and due to its crudeness, it can only perform a limited amount of work."
The Living Crystal Puppet carried a stone statue carved in marble by the artist of the Eternal Sleeping Town, and placed it in a corner of the president's room as a pure decoration.
Ian watched it work and thought:
'That's what it does......
Handling work.
"Don't you have the ability to attack?" Ian asked.
"Uh...... Not at the moment, the mages have not found a way for the golems to learn magic. β
Arya shook her head.
I didn't find it, maybe it's because the magic system is different, right?
Ian pondered, "The magic that the Living Crystal Golem can learn is probably the magic of the Alien Light, right?" β
Alienated Light and other systems of skills.
It's the equivalent of saying...... They are the tools for making living crystals.
In this way, it is really full of potential, using living crystals to create living crystal puppets, and then letting living crystal puppets make living crystals.
Boy...... Flexible jobs are yes.
This is the invention that Ian's civilization is currently researching after obtaining the Living Crystal.
The blueprint in the dungeon needs to wait for it to be cracked before it can be put into use.
There are regional magic coordinators and other technologies that belong to the second stage, which absolutely crush the current technical level of Changmian Town in terms of efficiency.
Mages are crazy about this, and they almost stay up all night cracking blueprints to speed up the development of technology.
Arya looked hesitant, a little about what to say, but she wasn't sure.
When Ian found out, he took the initiative to ask, "Could it be that there is a problem with the research?" β
"No...... It's the impact of heterophobia technology......"
Arya said it anyway:
"Controlled stinging light is safe for us, but ...... All different light devices will scatter unstable different light to the vicinity. β
"Although this kind of abnormal light is not too threatening, it is extremely harmful to the environment, and the irradiated plants show a crystallized appearance."
Unstable Alien Light, not Hostile Alien Light.
It is similar to the nuclear radiation brought by nuclear energy, and the hetero-optical technology also brings the hetero-optical radiation.
Ian went to the Alien Living Crystal Greenhouse.
It is 300 meters long and 41 meters wide, and its sides and top are not walls, but foggy glass made of translucent hedrons.
This allows some natural light to pass through and accelerate the growth of living crystals.
The facility used to emit the light of the Alien is something similar to a sprinkler.
It is placed in the front, middle and back areas of each greenhouse, and each greenhouse has a total of 3 different light irradiators.
There was a circle of magic crystals around the irradiator, which were the simple magic crystals extracted from the red dragon lava.
They serve no purpose other than ammunition and reloading iridescent cannons, so they are used to transform living crystals.
Fifteen% of the mana crystals had been converted into living crystals, and the blue halo shimmered in the greenhouse, with a hint of dreaminess, like a pile of gems.
On the periphery of the greenhouse, Ian sees what is known as an unstable light.
Within half a meter of the greenhouse, all the plants and lawns have changed from healthy green to blue, and the material has also become living crystals.
"Looks like it's spreading......"
Ian muttered to himself and asked Arya, "Will these lights spread?" Logically not. β
Arya nodded, confirming Ian's guess:
"Yes, President. Whether it is a controllable light or an unstable light, it is a type that cannot spread naturally, and even if it is released, it will consume mana. β
Case...... The harm is not manifested in transmissibility, but in other aspects?
Ian motioned for Arya to explain.
Arya collects a bunch of crystallized grass:
"This class of plants, unlike anything we know of at the moment, is in crystalline form, but still alive......"
"Whether it's animals or plants, they will continue to evolve, and the mages are a little afraid of these plants, which will bring unexpected dangers to the town of Changming."
Dangerous?
This speculation is also very reasonable.
Ian really can't guarantee the stability of the light, but whether it will mutate or not, it's not possible.
"In other words, apart from natural evolution, the unstable light does not bring any other harm?"
"Yes." Arya replied.
Some of the mages offered other suggestions, mostly asking Ian what he thought of the Alien Light, and they would make other adjustments.
Ian thought about it for a moment and came up with a new plan:
"Hetero-light technology does not need to explode at present, and there are 3 hetero-light active crystal greenhouses that are enough for daily consumption."
"Unstable light, find a way to remove it as soon as possible, and get rid of its pollution."
The device that can remove the anomaly is called the Alien Filter, which Ian has seen in the loot blueprint.
It will slowly remove the crystallization of a nearby area, and after studying, it will be placed near the greenhouse, and the pollution caused by the unstable light will be equal to 0.
Ian disbanded the team.
Blueprints such as the local eternal night generator obtained in the previous quest are in a state waiting to be cracked.
The technology on the mysterious side needs to be cracked by mages and scholars, and all the blueprints can be consumed in about a month.
Ian opened his backpack and looked at the last compartment with black fragments.
This is what the dark spirits have given him.
[Name: Gift of Darkness]
[Genre: Occult (2nd Stage)]
[Effect: After 100% research, civilization will gain the technology of the dark realm and unlock a dark talent;
Occult Research Speed +10%, Inspiration Chance (Darkness) +25%, Dark Realm Breakthrough Chance +25%. γ
[Description: You have established a certain connection with the darkness.] γ
[This item can be used as a beacon in conjunction with an anomalous transmitter to emit a signal of a specific frequency.] γ
A simple but extremely impressive bonus.
Research all the mysteries and get an extra 10% speed!
Dark Inspiration is probably an invention of the Dark Realm such as the Eternal Night Generator, and researchers will study the results more frequently.
And the final breakthrough in the dark realm is the most important thing for the progress of civilization.
The promotion of the first stage to the second stage requires not only technical compliance, but also a real breakthrough technology.
By communicating with the players, Ian realizes what he is really missing if he wants to move on to the second phase.
Breakthrough technology
Collect a certain level of knowledge, summarize it, and finally give birth to technology that is 100% original to civilization.
Only in this way can civilization be regarded as truly gaining a foothold in the second stage, and not the first stage of the terrestrial natives.
"Increase the probability of a breakthrough in the Dark Realm......?"
Ian pondered the gift of darkness.
There is no big requirement for breakthrough technology, any field is fine, after all, there is no pressure on the technology.
The anomalous transmitter is currently stable, and the ravens are constantly searching for anomalies in nearby galaxies.
If possible, Ian can combine a signal transmitter with a dark bounty.
'Check the area that meets the requirements, or a copy ......'
Ian made up his mind.
'Give it a try, if I really get the breakthrough technology, my civilization can immediately improve to a new level. β
At level 30, the player already has the ability to fly, which is completely a state of multi-planet development.
But...... Ian himself is multi-planet, he has a lunar base and the other is White Hole 3.
Ian installed the Gift of Darkness on an anomalous transmitter.
The transmitter itself has a built-in slot that can be used to install signal types, and the original thing is lunar soil.
γDing! Whether to replace the lunar soil with a gift of darkness. γ
[After the change is completed, the signal transmitter will emit a dark signal, which has a chance to trigger an abnormal event.] γ
[Yes / No]
It is worthy of being a field involving breakthrough technology.
Sequence game active prompts.
But then, Ian notices that he can use the Gift of Darkness as a signal source.
Sequence ability also lights up?
Ask for a follow-up and ask for a monthly pass! ~
