21. Floating islands in the sky
(Thank you for the support of the book friend "Fallacy Handsome" monthly pass!, hereby thank!)
Wang Qinian looked at the half-plane like a floating island, this is not the half-plane of the Ian School of Magic, but much smaller than it, also five thousand meters long, four thousand meters wide at the widest point, there are hills on it, when Wang Qinian went to visit Tessie Wèn, Atlas King came back from the Fea Forest, he saw Wang Qinian and the half-plane they fixed, he was very interested, and booked a magic tower in it, at the same time, I heard Jessica say that Wang Qinian is also preparing to build a floating island in the air, ready to capture a smaller half-plane and transform it.
After hearing this, his interest increased greatly, so he discussed with Jessica and Gamal to give Wang Qinian a surprise, anyway, with him, even if there is no Wang Qinian, he can fix the half-plane.
Just when Wang Qinian visited Taixi, they captured the half-plane, fixed in the mountains of nearly a hundred miles west of Ian City, usually hidden in a different space, but today appeared in a normal space, a magic pool supported a huge supply of magic power, and countless floating arrays at the bottom supported it, so that it would not fall.
Atlas said: "How about it, Wang, I will surprise you, but at present, the construction has just begun, and the construction has not yet started, and the construction has not yet started, and a magic pool has only been made in advance, I didn't expect that you even got your hands on the magic pool of Great Xia, and I was really surprised that you have remodeled it, it is much stronger than Tessie's fire elemental plane connection pool." ”
"You really gave me a surprise, let's go up and have a look?" Wang Qinian said, looking at the huge floating islands in the sky.
A few people went up to the floating island, inside a small hill in the middle of the city. A magic pool was working, and countless Mithril formations of various magic arrays were shining in turn and quietly running.
There are magicians, alchemists, magic apprentices and alchemy apprentices at work, and as far as the eye can see, the border in the distance is in sight, Jessica said: "At the moment there is only one magic pool, which can only provide floating power and maintain a simple protective shield, when in another dimension, if people are on it. There is no protective cover. People are dangerous. Three or four magic pools are also being built, on which the ecosystem can be built and houses can be built. Install the Crystal Cannon. In addition, a communication station and a backup magic crystal energy station are also planned. Just in case. ”
Wang Qinian nodded: "You guys are doing a good job, should the construction period be very long?"
"The preparation of the construction period is divided into two phases, the first phase will take about four years. Complete the main functions, build a preliminary ecosystem, and completely leave the outside world to support, can support half a year to a year, the second phase of the project, and it will take about ten years to prepare, so that it will truly become an independent kingdom. Gamal said.
"How to solve the project fund?"
"The first phase of the project, completely funded by the state, is in place year by year, the current first year's funds have been in place, four years later, the state allocation is only enough for half, and the other half is solved by the Sky Floating Island and enterprises in cooperation with the development of some things, including a series of tourism and part of the house rental on the Sky Floating Island. Atlas said.
"What will be the maintenance cost in the future?"
"I think we'll be able to afford it, and at present, some lease contracts have been negotiated with the government for fifty years, and the government will use it to conduct magical research, as well as extradimensional exploration, and so on. Atlas said.
"Who owns it?"
"Half of the property belongs to the Ian School of Magic, and the other half belongs to the government, after all, it belongs to us, and the government has the right to expropriate it, and of course it will pay rent. "Rest assured, we've thought it through." ”
"Yes, I can't imagine that you have done a great thing in my absence, but I have come today to see the floating islands in the sky on the one hand, and on the other hand, I have one more thing. Wang Qinian said.
"What's the matter?" asked Jessica.
"Have you ever heard of the Sargassum Sea Area?" Wang Qinian did not answer directly, but asked first.
"I've heard of it, do you know the cause of the anomaly in the Sargasso Sea?" replied Atlas immediately.
"I hadn't created the Ian Kingdom that day, and I wandered on the sea with Davena and strayed into the Sargasso Sea area, and I was trapped in it, and I used magic to learn the truth about the Sargasso Sea area. ”
"What is the truth?" Jessica asked immediately, and the little pair on Wang Qinian's shoulder immediately came to his senses when he heard it.
Wang Qinian smiled slightly, and said the truth, they heard that there was a huge metal ship at a depth of a thousand meters below the surface of the Sargasso Sea, and it was by no means human, Wang Qinian even released an image, of course, the image he saw was recorded by the puppet back then.
When several legendary mages heard this, they immediately became excited, for them, they actually discovered a non-human intelligent creature and creation, although it was wrecked, but they knew better than anyone the huge value of it.
Wang Qinian said: "The power contained in it is huge, if the human race cracks it, maybe it is a leap, but the danger is also very great, I found out, has been in my heart, originally I made the floating island in the air, there is a reason, that is, for it, I want to drag him out of the water, from the current progress, it should be four years later." ”
"I see, I saw that you built a floating island in the air, and I originally thought that you were stimulated by the city in the sky of Huolinqiaoton, but it turns out that you have this intention in it. Jessica said.
"That's just one aspect, of course there is the reason for Hollinqiaoton, and Davena also told me that the main thing we are doing now is to build this floating island in the sky. Wang Qinian laughed.
When Wang Qinian's legendary mages were discussing the floating island in the sky, there was a naval battle of Naples in Taixi, a naval battle between the combined fleet of Napus and Norma and the fleet of Siren in the south-south direction of the Strait of Napos, both sides went out steel warships, and of course sail warships, including semi-mobile warships, because these navies developed extremely rapidly, especially Yi'an Guo was far ahead, and they were chasing behind, so there was a strange phenomenon in the navy, and hundreds of warships went out on both sides of the war.
Most of them are sails and semi-mobile warships, but there are also several steel warships, don't forget, this is a magical world, all wooden warships are no less powerful than steel after casting the steel wood spell, but the power of the cannon fire is behind the steel warships, but the flying dragons on their ships offset the weakness of the cannon fire, the naval battle began, countless cannonballs of various colors flew sideways on the sea, and the magician set off a spiritual light in it, intercepting the cannonballs.
In the sky, airships and dragons attacked each other, and many puppets of various colors used in war also appeared, from the sky to the sea, and ships continued to explode and withdraw from naval battles.
The sail warships and semi-motorized warships were invincible to the steel warships, as the wooden ships exploded and burned one after another, the ships continued to sink, the water began to open up, and the sky was also a series of airships falling into the sea, accompanied by the flying dragon falling into the sea, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of magic aura and magic explosions was endless.
Xilun's side gradually couldn't stand it, at this moment, a fleet rushed into the battlefield, the flag fluttered, it was the warship of the South Yi country, the shape shì was immediately reversed, Nabus and Norma fleets couldn't stand it, at this time, the fleet of the Yi An country appeared, and six huge steel warships rushed straight to the sky, in the sky, the airships rushed over like arrows, dropping bombshells one after another, and what was even worse was that under the water, there were more submarines unique to the country of Yi'an, white lines appeared, and huge torpedoes exploded.
The shape shì reversed again, the Xilun side and the southern Iraqi side began to retreat, gradually disengaged, but only a dozen of the remaining ships escaped, this battle, so that the sail warships completely withdrew from the stage of history, and the Xilun side completely lost the right to control the sea, from then on, the board could not go to the sea, and the Nabus, Norma and Hipan sides began to blockade them with naval guns unscrupulously, and began to bombard the enemy's coastal towns indiscriminately.
In the Tiannanyang in the east, the Bactria Navy also had a naval battle with the Newmont West Navy, and there were also all kinds of ships, from sail warships to steel warships, with the rumbling of cannons, and finally Daxia won the victory, thus controlling the Tiannanyang, but the Newmont West fleet was not completely annihilated, and also controlled the Barbarian Sea and the Tianqian Strait, but lost the control of the Phoenix Continent, making the army of the colony of the Phoenix Continent a lone army.
The Taya Empire, the Republic of Inhut and the Bactrian colony launched an attack on the colony of Neumonsi in three directions, and in Eju, Neumonsi made a very unsatisfactory progress, and there began to be faint turmoil in the country, especially the faction of the Great Prince and the faction of the Six Princes who were secretly preparing to move, and they were all secretly in contact with Bactria .
The shape of the war changed in subtlety, and although two countries sent troops to Yi'anzhou, the ignition did not burn to Yi'anzhou, which can be said to be a paradise, and a large number of magical talents, alchemy talents and talents from all walks of life poured into Yi'anguo, so Wang Qinian asked Dai Weina to strengthen patriotic education, which can be regarded as a kind of prevention.
It has to be said that the development of people's wisdom is a blessing for a democratic society, and as long as the ruler is not blind, he can indeed be prepared to deal with some problems, the biggest contradiction is that the production of commodities is obviously too much to demand, but fortunately, it is now during the war, there is military production, and it is not a problem.
But after the war, it is difficult to say, Wang Qinian remembered a sentence in his previous life, the capitalist society is good at production, but not good at distribution, there are signs at present, assets are concentrated in a small number of people, he also reminded Dai Weiner, the society should be transformed to service and entertainment, the production materials are abundant, people have more time in the spirit, and the society presents things that the society has not thought of before.
In this society, there is drama, but there is no film and television, or even radio and the like, but it is not that there is no corresponding technology, magicians often use a kind of spar photography, and even reproduce the scene at that time, Wang Qinian knows, it should be a movie, no, it is time for the magic shadow to appear.
