The Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 315: Sky City
Chapter 315 - 315: Sky City
Curious, Su Nan took the divine body golem into the elemental plane for a combat drill.
The results did not disappoint him. Even when he only used 50-60% of his power, the divine body golem in god mode was able to fight him evenly without falling behind.
Since advancing to True Spirit Wizard, Su Nan had spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with the power of laws and researching their applications.
For example, he could now easily use the Gravity Black Hole that he couldn't control before.
Even though the power levels of both laws were not high, by mastering two laws simultaneously, his combat power had already surpassed most True Spirit Wizards at the mastery level.
Being able to directly contend with Su Nan using 50-60% of his power was enough to demonstrate the strength of the divine body golem.
"There's still room for improvement with the divine body golem. Later I can incorporate more magical creature flesh to upgrade and enhance it."
With the Synthesis Rubik's Cube in hand, Su Nan was confident he could strengthen the divine body golem to at least the level of a True Spirit Wizard who had mastered a single law.
After finishing the combat test, Su Nan satisfactorily retrieved the divine body golem.
There was another divine body golem made from the Crescent Moon Goddess's divine corpse in his space ring. Its combat power was slightly inferior to the one made from the Spider Queen's divine corpse, but it still reached level 4.
"I need to give them names."
Su Nan pondered briefly before quickly making a decision.
"I'll call them Crescent and Spider Queen."
"With these two divine body golems, the weakness in the Star Alliance's top combat power has been largely compensated for."
Su Nan was very satisfied.
The key was that both divine body golems could be carried around. In the future, when going to dangerous places, he could bring one or both of them as trump cards to use at critical moments.
Thinking of trump cards, Su Nan fell into deep thought again.
After advancing to True Spirit Wizard, his combat system had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The trump card techniques he possessed before, such as alchemy engravings, innate abilities, wizard artifacts, etc., basically couldn't keep up with the current version. They could only serve as supplements to the combat system and could no longer act as trump cards.
Only the law gem still had some use.
"However, the law gem also needs to be improved and further synthesized and upgraded to enhance its power."
Thinking of the law gem, Su Nan suddenly had an inspiration.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
The principle of the law gem was actually to seal law power beyond one's ability to control and use into the gem through special means, and then release it to attack enemies during battle.
Essentially, it was using a medium to utilize higher-level law power.
It's just that this method of use was particularly crude, only able to cause damage to enemies through instantaneous bursts, with most of the law power being wasted in the process.
But what if there was a way to use high-level law power in a more stable manner, or bypass the medium and directly control high-level law power? Wouldn't that allow for fighting above one's level? Su Nan's eyes gradually brightened as he thought about it more and more, feeling it was worth a try.
He could already synthesize high-level law power with the magic cube. He just needed to solve the method of storing and using this law power.
Once successful, he would have a trump card for fighting above his level!
"Another task to complete."
Su Nan let out a light sigh, turned and tore open a spatial rift, leaving the elemental plane.
Returning to the Starlight Wizard Tower, Lize had just sent someone to deliver the list of materials.
It detailed the various resources needed to build the sky city, densely packed and dazzling.
Su Nan took the list and examined it carefully.
The strategic value of a sky city was equivalent to a super-large-scale interstellar fortress that could accommodate over 100,000 people living in it, with a complete ecosystem, capable of drifting in space for thousands of years.
Its strategic academic name was [Ultra-Large Integrated Strategic Defense Fortress], theoretically capable of going head-to-head with a god's divine realm.
A sky city that couldn't directly confront a god's divine realm wasn't a true sky city.
Therefore, the resources needed to build such a sky city were an extremely vast number.
Not only were there many types, but the quantities required for some materials were astronomical.
Take enchanted steel and stone materials as examples.
These two were basic materials needed to build the sky city, used to construct the main body of the sky city.
Even a basic sky city would cover an area of no less than 10 square kilometers, so one can imagine how astonishing the amount of enchanted steel and stone materials needed would be.
In Su Nan's plan, the sky city he wanted to build would be about 20 kilometers in area.
The enchanted steel and stone materials consumed would only be more.
Enchanted steel was fine, as there were large iron ore deposits in the planes currently controlled by the Star Alliance. They could directly mine, smelt, and then have wizards under their command perform enchantment strengthening.
As for stone materials - mainly obsidian and white jade - the collection difficulty was relatively high.
Obsidian was a material commonly used by wizards.
After being reinforced with spells, it became very hard and could be used to build city walls or building walls, or to create golems.
Su Nan planned to use obsidian to pave the entire foundation of the sky city when he really started construction.
As for white jade, it was the highest quality pure marble.
This type of marble had very few impurities, was pure white throughout, and had a solid yet delicate texture. It was an excellent material for conducting magic power and could be used to build the sky city's energy transmission network.
It's worth mentioning that the Fallen Star City in the deep sea originally had its foundation and most buildings constructed with obsidian and white jade.
Later, when Su Nan dismantled the entire Fallen Star City, the materials extracted were still lying in the warehouse, ready to be used to build the sky city.
However, compared to the sky city, the scale of Fallen Star City was smaller.
The materials obtained from dismantling could only make up a small portion, leaving a large gap still to be filled.
In addition to basic materials like enchanted steel and stone, building a sky city also required large amounts of rare metals, crystals, and other precious materials.
For example, the amount of mithril needed was quite astonishing.
Facilities such as floating rings, anti-gravity devices, elemental drive devices, etc., all required mithril.
A rough calculation showed that even the mithril production of the Starlight Continent for 100 years was far from enough to fill the gap.
After quickly reviewing the list and confirming there were no omissions, Su Nan issued the order to collect resources, then went to the top floor of the wizard tower.
"No. 1, bring up the sky city design."
[Command received.]
A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a three-dimensional model slowly materialized.
It was the structural diagram of the sky city that Su Nan had spent several months designing.
Like the wizard tower, the structure of the sky city could be roughly divided into three parts: energy supply, spatial planning, and combat devices.
The energy supply could be further subdivided into elemental furnaces, energy transmission networks, and skyborne devices.
The elemental furnace needs no further explanation. It is one of the most core facilities of the entire sky city and also the lifeline of the sky city, supplying energy to the entire city to maintain daily operations and combat consumption.
The elemental furnace is generally placed at the very center of the sky city, together with the central crystal.
As for the energy transmission network, it can be seen as a super-large-scale crystal vein.
Using white jade to lay large-scale energy transmission pipelines throughout the entire sky city - including the foundation and surface buildings - interweaving to form a vast transmission network, allowing the energy output from the elemental furnace to reach any corner of the sky city in an instant.
This is the function of the energy transmission network!
Even from the literal description, one can see that this is a massive project.
Finally, the skyborne device's function is to make the sky city float and fly.
It's somewhat similar to the floating ring of a wizard tower, but on a much larger scale and with a more complex composition, consisting of hundreds of floating rings and numerous anti-gravity devices.
The second part of the sky city, spatial planning, is roughly similar to the wizard tower, just with the number and scale of facilities increased by several levels.
There are also some new facilities.
Such as ecological gardens, central squares, central towers, sky tower docks, and magic prohibition prisons, etc.
The ecological garden is like an ultra-large-scale breeding ground similar to the Dragon Forest.
Generally, a sky city would establish three to five ecological gardens for cultivating different types of magical creatures or preserving rare species.
The central square is a large leisure area that also serves as a teleportation plaza, with numerous outward-facing teleportation gates arranged.
Wizards enter and exit the sky city through the teleportation gates in the central square.
The central tower is where the central crystal is located. Generally, the elemental furnace is also built inside the central tower. This is the core hub of the sky city.
The sky tower dock, as the name suggests, is where sky towers are stationed and on standby.
Sky towers are the sky city's affiliated war constructs, equivalent to the fighter jets of an aircraft carrier.
The magic prohibition prison, as the name implies, is a place for confinement.
Almost every sky city has an independent magic prohibition prison, where many powerful magical creatures and enemy wizards are imprisoned!
They are usually used as experimental materials.
Overall, the facilities of a sky city are more massive and complete compared to a wizard tower.
There are also more functional buildings.
Even wizards who own wizard towers prefer to stay in sky cities for cultivation and experiments.
The final part of the sky city, combat devices, is generally composed of three parts.
The first part is the golem legion.
Generally speaking, the number of built-in golem legions in a sky city is never small, basically no less than 100,000.
And the level is at least legendary.
Clay golems, stone golems, and flesh golems can't even enter the sky city's combat sequence.
At most, they can be used as labor for odd jobs.
In a sky city, even powerful wizard-level puppets like shadow steel golems and adamantine golems can only be considered mid-level combat sequences.
Supreme golems generally belong to the high-level combat sequence.
Above that is the sky city's ultimate combat sequence, which usually only legendary construct beings like arcane guardians, mana mechs, mithril sages, etc., can serve.
These legendary construct beings generally possess combat power higher than ordinary Level 3 Crystallization Wizards, roughly equivalent to Level 3 Crystallization Wizards who have already mastered rules and only lack condensing true spirit, slightly inferior to divine body golems. They are usually used to deal with gods.
Therefore, these high-level alchemical constructs are extremely expensive to produce and limited in scale.
Ordinary sky cities only have single-digit numbers of legendary construct beings.
Only when encountering very powerful enemies will the sky city activate the ultimate combat sequence and dispatch legendary construct beings.
As for which type of legendary construct being to use as the sky city's combat sequence, Su Nan already had some ideas, but he still needed to research further before deciding.
The second part of the combat devices is the [Ultra-Large Energy Shield Barrier] and the [Mystic Lock Defense System].
The former is similar to the Mizzou defensive energy field of the wizard tower, just on a much larger scale with stronger defense.
The latter is an ultra-large integrated offensive and defensive device.
The Mystic Lock can be said to be one of the greatest achievements of wizards and has always been the ultimate means for wizards to defend against enemies.
In the simplest terms, the Mystic Lock is a super-large spell matrix system that integrates attack, defense, strategic strikes, and other capabilities.
However, early Mystic Locks were mainly defensive, and on this basis, the lower version of the Mizzou defensive energy field was developed as a defensive device for wizard towers.
Later, in the protracted war with the gods, out of the pursuit of stronger defense, wizards gradually developed the Mystic Lock Defense System.
As one of the highest achievements of wizard civilization, the Mystic Lock is the only defense system that can directly withstand a full-power attack from a great god (level 7).
The third part of the sky city is long-range strike means, including various spell turrets, plasma cannons, and pulse cannons.
However, these turrets are only conventional long-range strike means in the sky city.
The sky city's real firepower trump card is the strategic ultra-long-range strike means, the most representative of which is the Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon.
The Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon is a type of phase weapon, academically called an elemental particle beam directed energy strategic weapon.
This weapon is extremely powerful, with high firing speed and accuracy. It is a strategic weapon developed with gods as the hypothetical enemy.
One shot can severely damage a weak god! The only flaw is that such strategic weapons require an extremely vast energy supply.
Apart from sky cities with elemental furnaces as energy cores, basically no True Spirit Wizard can independently support the energy consumption of such weapons.
Previously in Blood Abyss, Su Nan had personally witnessed the Star Spirit Clock Tower using the Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon and already had a certain understanding of the astonishing destructive power of this strategic weapon.
He decided to equip his own sky city with a Magic Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon as well.
In addition to energy supply, spatial planning, and combat devices, there is another aspect that cannot be ignored.
That is the Tower Spirit Commander!
Small wizard towers can use tower spirits to handle the integrated operation of the wizard tower.
But for sky cities with larger volume and more complex structures, the computing power of tower spirits is not enough. Higher-level Tower Spirit Commanders must be used as the intelligent brain core for the sky city's operation.
Tower Spirit Commanders are also a type of legendary construct being, with operational capabilities far surpassing ordinary tower spirits. They are responsible for the integrated operation of the sky city, combining functions such as terminal computing, data recording, combat command, experimental assistance, etc. At their strongest, they can directly scan and analyze everything within a radius of over a hundred kilometers.
With the energy supply of a sky city, it would take about ten to fifteen days to complete a basic surface scan of a plane about the size of the Starlight Continent.
Gazing at the full view model of the sky city before him, Su Nan let out a long sigh.
Building an ordinary human city from scratch would take at least half a year, let alone a magical city that could directly confront a divine realm.
Moreover, he wasn't just satisfied with building an ordinary sky city; many facilities would definitely need to be enhanced.
Under these circumstances, the time needed to build the sky city would certainly increase significantly.
"A heavy responsibility and a long road ahead."
