Chapter 1082 Cloud City
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really spectacular, this city in the clouds is in front of you."
Blocking the robot fleet in front is a vast city floating in mid-air. There are many spiers and overlapping layers, which is completely different from the urban construction form of Lost Land or even Earth. This is a three-dimensional city, and it is divided into upper and lower sides, both sides are inverted, and it rotates slowly.
There is still no feeling in the Imaginary Number ship, because in order for the robots to coordinate fleet actions, all battleships share the same relative coordinate system, which is the coordinates with the Imaginary Number as the reference point. Therefore, the up, down, left, and rear directions of all battleships are consistent with the imaginary number.
However, the city of the wind elemental elves has a standard of brutal development. The basic form of buildings is that the top and bottom are relatively inverted. This city does not stop there. There are also many left-side, right-side, diagonal and spiral buildings.
The living creatures walking in it completely ignore the basic principle of gravity. It is not uncommon to walk on the ground, on the ceiling, or even on... floating on the side walls. It is like they live in a strange world where walking or building buildings can be done on all planes.
The scene of the city in the clouds with the element of wind transmitted by the imaginary number makes someone think deeply. The difficulty of finding the direction in this world is not just to mislead people, but the environment in which they live is like this. Data returned from various sources shows that in the wind elemental plane, not only the direction of the wind is chaotic, but also the directions of the gravity field, magnetic field, etc. are so chaotic that it makes someone wonder if there is something wrong with the physics they have learned.
On the other hand, I have to lament that the sensors on the Imaginary Number are becoming more and more powerful. You can actually observe the situation in the city through the wind wall blocking the city in the clouds.
According to Lin's observations and calculations, the chaos in the wind elemental plane causes even light to be slightly refracted. Just like on Earth, if you observe a fish on the bottom of the water from the surface, the position of the fish will be different from what you see with your eyes. It's just that in the wind elemental plane, such differences are more complicated, and there is no easily obtainable refraction parameter.
Despite this, the imaginary number can still restore the most realistic scene from the observed data through mathematical methods. If imaginary numbers continue to develop, it is not impossible to get a clairvoyant eye.
And as someone said, the wind wall that is enough to block the sight is not a wall like the Great Wall. Its function is only to make it more difficult for people to cross. Instead, it is an endless wind wall that stretches up and down in all directions, like a wall of wind that separates the world. The whirlwind that makes up the wind wall contains a lot of foreign matter, and the direction of the wind is unstable, and it is constantly flowing at an amazing wind speed visible to the naked eye.
It is conceivable that ordinary humans enter this wind wall with their physical bodies and are torn into pieces in minutes. Perhaps the old opponents of the wind elemental elves, namely the earth elemental creatures, still have some chance to pass, but the losses will definitely be heavy. Water or fire elemental creatures want to pass through, which feels a bit hanging. Their bodies are not as strong as earth elemental creatures.
Standing in front of the wind wall was an army of wind elemental creatures assembled. Such a formation, according to Hefquin, is definitely a grand undertaking in the elemental plane of wind. At least the troops assembled on the opposite side finally seemed to be fighting a plane war. Unlike previous matches, it was still flattering to say that adults hit children. It was like a herd of elephants passing by an ant nest.
The elemental planes of air and earth are different. In the earth elemental plane, as long as a force gathers together, consciousness will be generated and become the so-called 'element spirit'. As long as they continue to accumulate, the earth elemental elves can easily condense into an entity and become a so-called 'elemental creature'.
But in the elemental plane of wind, the threshold for condensing entities and becoming elemental creatures is very high. Most of them still maintain the form of elemental elves, accumulating their own heritage. When they grow to the point where they can condense entities, the air elves will leave the air elemental plane and collect materials from other worlds to become entities that their elven light can attach to.
It’s just that these biological entities do not have clear shapes and fixed materials like earth elemental creatures. The shapes of wind elemental creatures are not fixed like their elf forms, and their structure is also quite loose. Such as the body of clouds, water, sand and dust, and the body of whirlwind, these are all common forms of wind elemental creatures.
In fact, combined with the current environment of the wind elemental plane, it is normal for wind elemental creatures to have such a loose structure.
If earth elemental creatures live here, resisting erosion from the environment all the time, if they relax a little and fail to protect themselves with magic, they will sooner or later become dirt and be blown away by the strong winds of this world. The so-called "weathering" phenomenon in earth geology is not fun.
However, the magical power with the light of the elves as its core can be several times stronger than before after being supported by an entity. There is a huge difference in strength between elemental elves without entities and elemental creatures with entities. This is true for all four attributes.
But for most of the wind element elves, if it weren't for the fact that it takes a lot of strength to maintain their shape in the wind element plane, they would probably take this step earlier. Unfortunately, when the strength is too weak, forcibly condensing the entity cannot protect the loose structure at all, and sooner or later it will be blown away by the strong winds of the world.
When that time comes, it's not a matter of the condensed entity being broken up, it's going to be death. It's just that when you look back, death means death. For the wind elemental elf, it means returning to the embrace of the eye of the wind. Eighteen years later, he is a good man...a good elf.
If the wind elemental creatures continue to work tirelessly to collect materials, their strength will certainly increase. And like earth elemental creatures, they can replace some of their own less good materials with better and more advanced materials. But historical experience proves that this is not the direction that wind elemental creatures should take.
There were wind elemental creatures who followed the path of earth elemental creatures, condensing a stronger entity and fixing their own image. But no matter how talented the wind elemental elves are in magic, or how lucky they are to find the best materials, they will still lose to the earth elemental creatures with this talent in battle. This kind of failure can be regarded as a non-war crime.
What's more, the condensed entity of the wind elemental elves seems to be creating weaknesses for itself. In order to maintain the materials that make up the body, they have to use the light of the elves as the most important link, spreading it throughout the body. In such a situation, if the body that has finally been condensed is damaged, the light of the soul that is the foundation will be damaged at the same time.
Therefore, since the birth of the wind elemental elves, they have abandoned the same life forms as the earth elemental creatures. Instead, use a loose structure to build yourself. More power is used to create objects outside the body, thereby covering a wide area with the light of one's own spirits. This is also an extension of the power of wind elemental creatures.
The ultimate expression of this kind of external thing is a city that can survive in the elemental plane of wind, that is, the City in the Clouds.
However, those who can build a city in the clouds on their own must be of the rank of wind element lord. Although the size of Cloud City may not necessarily represent the strength of the wind element lord, it is at least a usable reference indicator.
