Chapter 1599 War Tower

Lin was the most impatient with this kind of confrontational exchange with Zen Buddhism. It's not good to say something directly, do you have to force others to understand it themselves? Where does this go wrong?

But what I want to talk about today is also related to myself, and I don’t even have the right to turn around and leave. It is a fantasy to expect others to be willing to maintain their own interests even if they are not at the negotiating table. So even if he felt sick again, Lin could only hold on with laughter.

The airship that first boarded the Heider Empire had a completely different layout of its internal cabin from the airship designed by Lin himself and focused on combat performance. The former is like a luxury cruise ship, and the latter is like a small single room with only a few square feet of space, narrower than a bird's nest.

More importantly, this flagship airship also has a luxurious conference room! It is so luxurious that if gold were not too heavy, they would probably wish that everything was made of pure gold.

But everywhere I saw it was shiny, almost blinding someone's eyes. As for the indoor part, neither natural light from the outside is introduced, nor are candles lit everywhere. They used the magic lamp extravagantly to illuminate the windowless cabin as bright as day.

As the initiator of the meeting and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Old Kaweigong briefly told the current situation of this war involving the future of Lost Land and the national destiny of the two empires. Although it was not expressly stated in the words, the despair hidden behind it was still felt.

However, in the narration, there was special mention about how much help the magician's magic tower provided and brought a positive and positive effect to this war.

Listen to a noble praising a magician to a group of nobles. Lin estimated that such a scene was unprecedented and unprecedented.

As a means of turning the tables, Old Kaweigong proposed the tactic of building a large number of magic towers. This is a ridiculous method of inserting towers all the way, inserting a safe supply route, and attacking the gate of the abyss.

This idea is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, and everyone who hears it thinks it is impossible to achieve. If the person who spoke was not the highly trusted commander of the coalition forces, there would only be twelve members of the two empires present. In addition to the old man who was the commander-in-chief, and a magician, there would be no one else, otherwise someone would have been there. Start spraying.

The two emperors behaved quite calmly. They agreed to this meeting because they knew it in their hearts. The old commander's tactics sounded like fantasy, but if there was no feasible solution, he would not propose it. So they came here to listen to that method.

Under the explanation of Old Kaweigong, he said that the full function of the magic tower was not needed. As long as it can detect and attack the enemy, and protect our troops, it will be good to meet these three requirements.

To this end, he invited the rebuilder of the Great Sage's Tower, the great magician Gabrash Tripwood, to assist. He may not have the deepest understanding of the Magic Tower. But when it comes to breaking away from existing thinking and meeting the needs of this war, I believe no one can do it better.

With such flattery, no matter how wary the people present were, they still couldn't say 'no'. After all, the functions revealed by the Great Sage's Tower really frightened most of the noble lords and magicians in the land, so there was a small tacit understanding that this person would not have the opportunity to come into contact with the Magic Tower again.

Lin didn't say much nonsense, and directly proposed the starting point of a magic stone group composed of multiple magic stones, that is, the newly designed magic stone energy pool, and gave three war tower templates.

As a member of the magicians, Lin was embarrassed to act recklessly. So he decided to bypass the fixed design of the magic tower, that is, the three unchanging magic tower classification standards: one pool with three floors, two pools with four floors, and three pools with five floors.

The war tower requested by Old Kawei Gong not only avoids the word "magic tower" in its name, but also only has one or two floors, not three.

It's just that the height between each floor is higher and the stairs to the top are longer. This kind of thing is something that can only be understood. Anyway, in the regulations of the Magic Tower, no one stipulates how high each floor must be. There are no building regulations in Midi, everything depends on the perception of the builder and the user.

The one-story war tower is actually not short in height. But the key point is that it can be controlled by no one, or can be controlled remotely through a method similar to the forum, that is, a programming language.

This would be suitable for buildings like beacon towers, or to provide functionality similar to surveillance cameras. There is no need to deliberately arrange manpower locally, as long as there are people behind to monitor regularly, then it is not difficult for one person to be responsible for multiple towers.

This not only ensures the safety of personnel, but also greatly saves manpower. It can be said that there is nothing better than a good thing.

In addition to the two functions mentioned above, the one-story unmanned tower can also be used as a temporary place to replenish supplies. Since there is no need to place people inside the tower, some materials that can be stored for a long time can be stored so that people in need can access them at any time.

As for the issue of monitoring the quantity of materials, this can be easily accomplished with programmed internal monitoring.

Such a location can also temporarily accommodate the wounded, or serve as an arrow tower to attack enemies who enter its attack range. It can be said that it is a design with many benefits.

In terms of cost, according to Lin's estimation, it was so beautiful that the two emperors here wanted to insert this thing all over the territory of their empire and monitor every inch of the land.

The cost of hosting a banquet can cover several unmanned towers. Any enterprising emperor would find ways to reduce the number of unnecessary banquets and work hard to build this thing.

The other is a two-story manned war tower. This is similar to the form of a magic tower, except that its functions are much reduced, and there are almost no living functions in the tower.

The stationed magicians or magic apprentices will most likely have to live outside the tower. Only in combat status can you enter the war tower to operate.

This form of war tower cannot deal with a large number of enemies with a single tower. It must be matched with a certain number of troops for attack or defense. The main purpose of this tower is to focus on long-range attacks and destroy the enemy within a hundred steps.

It can be said that relying on such strongholds, the actions of the human army have more guarantees, and it is easier to deal with enemies. And as long as they are within the coverage area of ​​the war tower, humans are acting like clairvoyants with their backs on the turrets, without having to worry about being attacked or attacked by the enemy.

Although the cost of construction is not cheap, it can no longer be handled with one less banquet. But compared with the construction cost of the orthodox magic tower that they knew, it was incredibly low. Just building one floor of an ordinary magic tower costs more than this!

In addition, the control of the magic tower has been programmed, and its interface has been simplified to the point where it can be controlled by a magic apprentice or even a literate and trained soldier.

Let the war tower no longer look like a magic tower, and people other than magicians will look like illiterate people. Let the terrifying war fortress become a useless waste.

Moreover, all the people present at the meeting were wily and capable people. How could they not understand that such a new type of defensive fortress could not only be used in the current war against the abyss. It is a major weapon that will change the current fandom landscape.

The so-called cheapness in the construction cost of the war tower is from the perspective of the imperial nobles like them.

So as long as a wealthy country builds such a tower after invading other countries, it can almost be like declaring sovereignty and eliminating the possibility of enemy counterattack. Countries without money and unable to build towers can only watch their territory become someone else's territory inch by inch.

In other words, the biggest advantage of the War Tower is not that it helps magicians, but that it helps the noble lords consolidate the territory they occupy.

At first glance, it seems to have quite a lot of benefits for nobles, and towers that use magic are no longer a technology exclusive to mages. Magicians should hate such things. But in fact, if you think about it on a deeper level, it is not always good for the noble lords.

When a legal declaration is no better than a wealthy man building a war tower and using force to gain substantial power in the area, how should today's nobles deal with themselves?

Nobles with sufficient financial resources can usher in a wave of opportunities for growth. But nobles with insufficient financial resources are destined to be eliminated?

The emergence of the war tower will not only change the pattern of the land, but also the balance between the nobles and magicians will be broken, and the nobles will have the opportunity to override the magicians. Even the nobles themselves will be forced to undergo a selection process of survival of the fittest, and some wealthy businessmen will have the opportunity to be promoted to emerging nobles.

At this point, Lin and Lao Kaweigong didn't think too much. It is just wishful thinking that as long as the nobles hear about such a useful gadget, they will definitely flock to it and agree to anything just in exchange for this knowledge.

From the perspective of the two emperors, they were certainly eager for this knowledge. But they are much more cautious about how to use it. And there's another problem at hand that needs to be solved.

A big reminder is that the magician who provided this knowledge appeared in this meeting as an equal to an imperial emperor.

Respect that the other party has the strength to fight against gods?

Such reasons are not valid for a group of people at the top of power. There is nothing wrong with Mi Di praising strength, but no matter how sharp the sword is, can it be on an equal footing with the hand holding the sword? I'm afraid no one believes this.

According to past practice, even a Dharma Saint is just a 'tool' in the eyes of the emperor. At best, it is a very powerful tool. If you are not careful, you may hurt yourself.

When such a person appears in the whirlpool of power, his status should be that of a follower or a cooperator who stays out of the matter.

If it was the former, then his position should be at the end of the imperial queue, or behind the old commander.

If it is the latter, according to the status of this magician, he can simply serve as a knowledge provider. After throwing things out, let people who don't understand take the initiative to ask him for advice. There is no need to appear in such a place.

But when he came, he still had the same status as an imperial emperor. Then the purpose of this magician is very intriguing.

The emperor of the Gwana Empire was obviously an insider. Even his important ministers were mostly puzzled, but he himself remained calm. The Emperor of the Haider Empire, Alman Vosso, had no choice but to take the initiative and asked: "So, Your Majesty the Great Magician, what kind of reward do you want?"
