The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 217 Spell Turret Type II and Magic Machine

New type of puppet!

Everyone was a little curious when they heard this.

Fleming was the first to be unable to hold himself back and stepped forward to open the cabin.

As the metal doors opened to both sides with a squeak, the situation inside the cabin was revealed to everyone.

In the spacious hall, huge puppets are neatly arranged in a square array, standing motionless, with a sense of regular beauty.

These puppets look like metal octopuses, with more than a dozen long, coiled tentacles growing around their bloated bodies. The end is a sharp cone, flashing with a heart-stopping coldness like a sharp blade. Mang.

"A puppet in the form of an octopus."

Sherman had a feeling that it was unexpected and reasonable.

There is an octopus-type sea monster in the Rainbow Sea. The octopus form can be said to be very suitable for underwater operations.

And the attack power of those tentacles cannot be underestimated at a glance.

It can be said that the octopus form is one of the best forms that combines underwater action and aggression.

"There are a total of five hundred octopus puppets here, each with a legendary level of combat power. In addition, there are ten elite octopus puppets with a legendary level of combat power of the second level."

"The other two second-level magic ships also have the same number of puppets."

There are a total of 1,500 octopus puppets and 30 elite octopus puppets.

Sherman nodded secretly.

This quantity is almost enough at this stage.

After the three artificial islands are completed and the golem factory can be built, the octopus puppet production line can be transferred to the island and the puppets can be mass-produced on the spot. Then there will be no need to worry about military strength.

“Now that the support has arrived, it’s time to leave without further delay and head to the artificial island today.”

Wizard's Tower, inside the plantation.

Su Nan used the hands of a mage to control a special liquid that was a fusion of rare metals and gems, and carefully drew the last lines on the ground.

As the lines joined together to form a closed loop, the entire array instantly flashed with silver light, adding an indescribable strange aura.

"Done!"

Sunan let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile flashed across his face.

The magic circle of the plantation has been drawn, and all that is left to do is to plant the magic plants.

In terms of growth environment, the Wizard Tower Plantation with higher concentration of energy particles and magic circle is obviously better than Dragon Forest Area 2.

The only advantage of the latter is its large area.

"Rare magic plants can be transferred to plantations, but those with relatively low value should be placed in Longlin District 2."

Sunan turned around and waved to Tiya who was wandering not far away.

"Tia."

Hearing Sunan's call, the elegant and beautiful Flower Fairy Queen immediately flew over happily.

"Su Nan, are you finished with your work?"

"Well, the magic circle has been set up, and it will be almost ready once the magic plant is transplanted."

Sunan stretched out her index finger and gently touched Tiya's delicate face with her fingertips. The girl showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Tiya, please try hard to summon another group of kin."

"No problem." Dita agreed with a smile, "Many of my kindred people want to come here."

Most flower fairies have a wish to have a flower garden that they can take care of themselves, and the plantation just fulfills this wish.

In addition, Sunan is very generous and gives a lot of rewards, so the flower fairies live happily here, which makes their compatriots who are still in their hometown very envious.

After playing with Tiya for a while, Sunan left the plantation and returned to the control center.

"No. 1, scan the current status of the wizard tower."

[After receiving the instruction, start scanning. 】

【Scanning completed. 】

A three-dimensional panoramic model immediately appeared in front of you.

[Wizard Tower: Starlight]

[Level: Small (construction progress 37.22%)]

[Current remaining energy: 93.82%]

[Intelligent Assisted Life: Taling No. 1]

[Facilities: Element pool (small/enhanced), central crystal energy transmission system, residential area, warehouse area (construction progress 76.22%), experimental area, practice area (construction progress 46.91%), meditation area, planting area]

[Servant: Clay Golem×130]

[Protective device: Mystic Lock Protective Energy Field (Small)]

[Combat Device: None]

"The progress is pretty smooth."

Sunan nodded secretly.

The Mystic Lock protective energy field has also been produced. Next, we can consider producing a few more for synthesis.

The same goes for the element pool. It is still strengthened by +1 and can continue to be synthesized.

The progress of spatial planning is only half completed, and there are still many areas that are not perfect.

It is worth mentioning that Sunan just built a spell turret a while ago.

The first batch of hands-on exercises happened to be used to equip the magic ship.

After making it later, he planned to synthesize it and then equip it on the wizard tower.

"The current situation in Starlight Continent means that there is simply no resources to manufacture plasma cannons and pulse cannons. Even if they are manufactured, the small element pool cannot afford the energy consumption of these two weapons."

Sunan shook his head.

Not to mention the pulse cannon, even a lower-level plasma cannon consumes a lot of energy.

He estimated that even if the elemental pool was strengthened by +1, it would only be enough to fire two plasma cannons.

For small wizard towers, the level of plasma cannons and pulse cannons are too high. They are equipment only available for medium and large wizard towers.

Small wizard towers can only be equipped with disintegration cannons at best.

However, although it cannot be equipped with plasma cannons and pulse cannons, there is no problem in strengthening the power of spell turrets and dissociation cannons through synthesis.

Although there is also a problem of skyrocketing energy consumption as the firepower increases, this can be solved by strengthening the elemental pool as well.

After many experiments and actual firepower measurements, Sunan finally set the number of combined spell turrets at five.

The power of the synthesized spell turret with this quantity is about seven times and nearly eight times that of the original version.

Su Nan asked the marionette girl to assist in the test, but the result was that the marionette girl was directly hit hard with one shot.

If it weren't for the magic pattern core that offset most of the power of the bombardment, the marionette girl would have turned into a piece of scrap metal.

"This power is almost as powerful as the dissociation cannon!"

Sunan sighed heartily.

Even a first-level gasification wizard will be seriously injured even if he is hit by a few spell turret rays.

However, the price of the greatly enhanced power is that the energy consumption has also surged to about four times its original value.

Sunan estimated that only by strengthening the elemental pool to a level close to medium-sized can it be able to bear the cost of using the spell turret as a conventional weapon.

It just so happened that he planned to do this, so he limited the number of synthesis to five.

If it continues to be strengthened, the spell turret can continue to increase in power, but it will lose its significance as a conventional weapon.

As for high-end weapons, he plans to strengthen the dissociation cannon.

"Since it's a brand new version, let's call it Spell Turret Type II."

Sunan decided to equip the wizard tower with a hundred spell turrets II first, and then increase the number according to the situation.

This alone costs more than fifteen million gold coins.

However, the benefits are also very obvious. The firepower of the Starlight Wizard Tower is definitely far superior to that of most small wizard towers. If it is equipped with a synthetically enhanced dissociation cannon, its firepower may not be much inferior to that of a medium-sized wizard tower.

"After we finish the spell turret, we can study the dissociation cannon."

"There is also the Golem Legion, and the problem of high-level puppets has not been solved yet."

The high-level puppet designs that Su Nan currently has in hand are the adamantine golem and marionette.

The former can be enhanced to a three-ring legend and can be used as the main puppet of the wizard tower golem army. There is no need to worry about the source of the magic fine gold.

The problem is the latter.

Generally speaking, small wizard towers will be equipped with formal wizard-level high-level puppets as the final battle sequence.

In other words, this type of puppet must reach at least the level of a first-level gas wizard.

The Secret Puppet Girl undoubtedly fits this requirement very well.

But the problem is that the refining cost of Secret Puppet is too high.

The cost of a single marionette is as high as 480,000 gold coins, and if one hundred are equipped, it will cost nearly 50 million gold coins.

The key is that even if Sunan is willing to spend the money, there won't be that many materials.

Refining marionettes requires a large amount of mithril, and the Covenant's current mithril production is basically used in the construction of wizard towers. It is foreseeable that there will not be enough mithril to refine marionettes in batches in the next hundred years.

Of course, he can also accumulate the mithril for a hundred years after the wizard tower is built, and he will always be able to gather enough mithril to refine the secret puppet.

Considering the wide range of uses of mithril as a material, it would be a bit wasteful to use mithril in batch refining of marionettes.

It would be best to find a way to obtain the wizard-level puppet design and directly refine it manually.

As for materials, you can find ways to synthesize them or research substitutes. Anyway, the most critical soul crystal will definitely be fine.

"There are a lot of problems to be solved."

Su Nan rubbed his eyebrows.

Building a wizard tower in a world where the elements are deserted and the planes are blocked is indeed a laborious task.

Just comparing the benefits after the wizard tower is built, these problems are no longer a problem.

After leaving the control center, Sunan returned to the study.

I have been immersed in the construction of the Wizard Tower in the past few months, and I haven't read the reports sent for a long time. There should be nothing major happening in the Covenant Alliance and the Star Empire, but I don't know what the situation is like over the Rainbow Sea.

However, as soon as he returned to the study, Su Nan suddenly felt a powerful energy wave burst out.

"That direction...is Starlight Academy!"

Su Nan's figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in the sky above Starlight Academy.

The students' power level was too low and they did not feel the energy fluctuations. The academy remained as peaceful as ever.

Soon, mentors such as Scepter, Qiangwei and Fakado also came to Sunan.

With the introduction of Scepter and Rose, Starlight Academy later recruited three third-level wizard apprentices as mentors.

Together with Sherman and Corey, who have accepted the invitation to serve as mentors, the number of mentors in Starlight College has now reached double digits, greatly easing the pressure on teachers.

"It should be Traveler." Scepter said, "He has been in seclusion for several years, and it's almost time to come out."

Qiangwei said: "It seems that his semi-elemental transformation should have been successful."

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a figure was seen rising into the sky, flying towards the location of everyone at high speed.

It’s the traveler I haven’t seen for a long time.

Compared to before the retreat, the aura on the traveler's body was more peaceful, but it also carried a faint vitality that was like a million trees.

When the whole person stopped and was suspended in the air, it seemed as if he had merged into the entire world.

It's a sign of successful semi-elementalization.

And judging from the aura, the traveler obviously chose the wood element.

"Congratulations." Sunan congratulated with a smile.

Others also reacted at this time and stepped forward to congratulate him.

The travelers also thanked them one by one with spring breeze on their faces.

After a few words of greeting, Fakado and others said their goodbyes and left. Only Sunan, Qiangwei and Scepter, who were familiar with the travelers, stayed.

"How do you feel?" Qiangwei asked with bright eyes.

She also plans to take the semi-elemental route next, and the traveler's experience may give her some reference.

The traveler did not hide anything and said truthfully: "It's very good. The perception and control of plant energy particles have been significantly strengthened. The specific increase in life span is not yet clear, but it will definitely be within forty or fifty years."

Among the many semi-elementary routes, the wood element has the greatest increase in lifespan due to its properties.

That is to say, the choice of the semi-elemental path must be consistent with one's own physique. If it is not consistent with one's own physique, the probability of failure is extremely high. Otherwise, most wizard apprentices will probably choose the wood element.

Travelers are also lucky, and their physiques coincide with the wood element.

"But after becoming semi-elemental, I vaguely feel some kind of shackles. It seems that if I take another step forward, I will hit some kind of limit." The traveler said with a frown.

"That's the shackles of the Starlight Continent's environment."

Sunan explained the upper limit of energy particle concentration.

After listening, the three travelers suddenly realized.

"No wonder the wizards from thousands of years ago have left. It's really unbearable to stay here."

"Not only that, in this environment, the wizard's practice will also be half the result with half the effort."

Qiangwei couldn't help but glance at Sunan.

She can't see through Sunan's power level at all now, nor does she know what level the latter has reached.

Sunan had always given her a feeling of being too unpredictable, and her actions were always unexpected.

Maybe Sunan has a way to overcome the harsh environment of Starlight Continent.

After chatting for a while, Sunan returned to the Wizard Tower.

After the traveler successfully became semi-elemental, Rose was obviously eager to try.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the retreat begins.

And most of them will choose wood elements.

In fact, the wizard's apprentice's semi-elemental transformation has almost no impact compared to the elemental knight.

After all, the wizard apprentice's meditation absorption is not limited by the type of energy particles.

On the other hand, elemental knights can only improve their strength by absorbing specific types of energy particles. They have higher requirements for the upper limit of energy particle concentration and are more susceptible to the energy particle concentration ceiling of Starlight Continent.

This is also the reason why Sunan suggested that Key choose the path of blood knight.

Back in the study, Sunan sat down and read the report.

Star Empire's report is mainly about the progress of reform implementation.

Due to the lack of magic stone veins, Sunan rejected the idea of ​​promoting magic technology, but after that he came up with the idea of ​​popularizing sub-magic technology that uses secondary magic stones as energy.

Only he can synthesize magic stones, but secondary magic stones can be made by second- and third-level wizard apprentices.

Although the quantity is not enough to supply the entire continent, small-scale supply is still feasible.

So he directly threw the design drawings of mana technology to Starlight Academy and asked them to research the corresponding sub-mana technology on this basis.

Since it is backward compatible, the research progress is quite fast.

Just three months ago, a magic energy machine using secondary magic stone as the driving energy was born.

This magic energy machine is somewhat similar to an internal combustion engine, except that its energy utilization rate is higher and it can be used in many production fields.

However, due to the small number of secondary magic stones, the magic machine is currently only promoted and used within the capital area of ​​the empire.

Having said that, this is still a good start.

As the number of wizard apprentices in Starlight Academy increases, the output of secondary magic stones will also increase year by year in the future, leading to the gradual popularization of secondary magic energy technology, expanding the scope of applications, and the birth of more secondary magic energy products.
