Chapter 1,632 Collecting Materials

The speed of the two empires of Gwana and Haider is not unsatisfactory.

When they learned from the officers and soldiers on the front line that demons and other evil camp armies were completely destroyed by steel monsters in the sky, there was a direct order from the emperor to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the treasury directly under the empire that could be used to build magic towers. How many materials are there.

Not even satisfied with those directly under the empire, even the treasuries belonging to the great nobles and wealthy merchants within the empire are also the focus of the investigation. And asked to report back the news within one day.

At this time, of course, the traditional communication method of letters cannot be used. Merely sending messages back and forth through messengers may exceed the unspecified time limit. The forum delivery method, which is rarely used in formal occasions, finally comes in handy.

At the beginning, no one understood the purpose of rushing in such a hurry.

But this is not an era that pays attention to human rights. It is the norm to say something above and break a leg at the bottom. Since the emperor has issued an order, then execute it. There is nothing to bargain with.

When the robot fleet sent a representative, who was actually Hef Queen's mechanical girl clone, into the palace, even people who didn't understand it at first knew what was going on.

The robot fleet was hovering clearly above everyone's heads. It had destroyed an imperial grand duke, and its territory was now part of the ocean. With such achievements, few people were holding their necks and refused the robot's request.

Besides, the emperor also made it clear that this was the price in exchange for them taking action against the evil camp's army, and the enemies on the front line were indeed wiped out. Now is the time for them to pay the price. It is a normal and equivalent transaction and there is nothing wrong with it.

It sounds reasonable at first glance. But everyone who heard it felt as if something was blocked in their hearts and felt strange.

But the emperor's attitude was very calm and without any hesitation, so no matter how many opinions the people below had, they could only swallow it.

Moreover, the great nobles who were requested also used their own channels to learn about the situation on the front line. When they knew that the enemy had been wiped out, rather than simply defeated or retreated, they became even more wary of the fleet above them.

What level the enemy is supporting the front line, they know better than anyone even after having been on the front line for more than a year. They are not qualified to fight against such people who can easily defeat these enemies.

The most confusing thing right now is the two leaders of the human camp on the battlefield to the west of the Wind Emperor Mountains - the Vader Military State and the Floating Island Edda.

They didn't know the agreement that the emperors of the two empires, Gwana and Haider, had reached privately with a certain magician; they didn't know why the robot fleet came. When the bombardment begins, who is not afraid that those attacks will fall on their head?

Whether it was the Vader Military State at the pinnacle of the forces in the Mysterious Land, or the magicians of the Floating Island who thought highly of themselves and claimed to be 'celestial beings', none of them faced an attack that completely wiped out the enemy in an instant. Able to remain calm.

Everyone had the same idea. They had just driven away - no matter whether it was by them or not - an enemy appeared, and another more powerful one came. How should we deal with this?

In particular, the superiority of the Sky People on the Sky Island is based on the fact that they live in an area above the humans on the surface, so they call themselves "Heaven". The robot fleet is now hovering at a higher altitude than the floating island.

This is the height where gods have determined that ordinary people cannot maintain normal physiological functions without protection. Staying in such a place, not to mention whether I can defeat them, I may not be able to fight at such a height.

So what are these monsters going to do after they return to silence after a round of shelling? If only he came to help humans and defeat demons and enemies from the underground world. So after being defeated, why didn't you leave?

In fact, this kind of panic and uneasiness is not only felt by the Vader Military State and the Floating Island, but also by most of the Homo sapiens species on the surface. There is even the same question, that is, why are these monsters here?

After all, the robot fleet covers the entire Lost Continent. Regardless of whether their position can be effective in the battlefield against demons, they still maintain their sense of existence and continue to oppress the living creatures on the surface.

The hovering robot fleet has not yet communicated with the Homo sapiens on the surface, and no one has the means to talk to them from such high altitudes.

After part of the fleet was transferred to the abyss, the robot fleet readjusted their layout in the air. Basically, it still maintains the situation covering the entire Lost Continent, and continues to maintain the invisible sense of oppression.

It's just that this adjustment of formation, which is very common among robots, also caused a commotion on the surface. Fortunately, he just moved and didn't attack again.

But for the two empires of Gwana and Haider, the robot fleet is not such an unreachable object. In order to deliver the materials used to build the magic tower, they had to figure out a proper handover method, and it couldn't take too long.

The situation now is obvious. Why does the robot fleet maintain an oppressive posture? Nine times out of ten, the robots will simply switch from unilateral reception to robbery if they don't get a quick response.

The imperial ministers who had participated in that high-level meeting knew the magician's attitude very well. Moreover, this robot fleet can instantly solve the problems caused by the demons. I believe it will not take much effort to solve their problem.

Therefore, these well-informed ministers carried out the emperor's orders with all their heart and did not dare to disobey them at all. Even if they don't know the full details, no one can afford the consequences of causing the robots to fall out, so no one clearly holds the flag of resistance.

The manifest delivered by Hef Queen is divided into two parts. One section is a required list for building a magic tower, with clear quantity requirements and a list of alternatives. This part is non-negotiable.

The other part is a list of materials used to build a magic circle city. This part only lists the items without detailed quantities before a certain magician completes the city planning with the robots.

Fortunately, the latter part of the list probably contains the largest amount of materials, which are ordinary materials that can be collected on site and are extremely common. Like sand, limestone, etc.

Since the development of the Technical Guild in the Holy City of Estali, 'cement', a previously inconspicuous building material, has finally been promoted.

Cement was brought by a certain time-travelling predecessor. However, due to various shortcomings, cement was eventually abandoned by everyone in the land.

The reason is simple. People who have contact with related industries should know that cement has a formula, and different formulas of cement are suitable for different purposes.

That time-traveling senior basically conquered the world with one move, and he had no problem using it himself. At least the formula that was researched was tailor-made for the senior's purpose.

But when this kind of cement wants to be promoted overseas, it runs into a wall. After all, other people's uses and usage environments may not be exactly the same as the inventor's.

Not to mention that cement is resistant to compression but not tension, so building materials such as steel bars must be used to reinforce it. But in Midi, a world where iron smelting technology is not advanced, it is impossible to promote the luxury behavior of using metal to build houses.

Naturally, Cement silently stepped down from the front stage of the world and bowed.

It wasn't until the Technical Guild introduced the concept of formulas and conducted some serious research and records that cement, a thing that already existed in the Lost Land, was revived.

The reason why we want to come up with this thing is that there are many benefits to building a house with cement. It is cheap, durable and easy to apply. These three points alone have the value of large-scale promotion.

Cement is certainly not without its shortcomings, especially in terms of environmental damage. But... people in this era don't care whether they destroy the environment or not.

Technical guilds use cement on a large scale. As the empire closest to the Technology Guild, it also spent a lot of money on the construction of roads for automobiles, as well as fortresses, castles, and new buildings.

Such extensive use certainly attracted the attention of the emperor. As soon as the old emperor Armin Kazalnia saw the list of materials, he realized that a certain magician planned to use cement to build a house.

This is a good thing!

In the minds of people who had heard of the magician's plan for the Twin Towers of the Gate, the first thought they had about the concept of a 'magic circle city' was a city filled with a large number of small magic towers.

Even if the material level is lowered by a few levels, the value of the materials required for a city-sized magic tower is so great that an empire cannot afford it.

If it were so easy to do, the capitals of these empires would have been completely magical. However, this is not the case.

In the existing cities and towns in Lost Land, magic towers are still distinct from ordinary buildings. Normal buildings will not use magic materials to build, which is an unwritten tacit agreement.

Just like someone's home in the Holy City, the construction method of mixing ordinary materials with magical materials is an unprecedented innovation in Lost Land.

The magic circle city planned by the magician will use cement as the largest building material. Although it is not yet known how this magician will 'enchant' ordinary buildings, at least one thing is certain, that is, the cost of building the city will not be too high to be unaffordable.

So if this is not a good thing, then what is a good thing? The old emperor thought so.

Compared with the emperor who only needs to speak out after making a decision, the ministers who are actually responsible for commanding are really busy.

Since the robots are very urgent in asking for things, it is definitely not possible to collect the required materials and then deliver them to the robots together.

The time spent gathering materials from various places may exceed the time limit of seven days planned by a certain magician to complete the Twin Towers of the Gate. If the empire is slow in collecting materials, it's hard to say what the magician will do.

Therefore, whether it comes from the treasury of the empire, collected from the nobles, or half-purchased and half-collected from the Chamber of Commerce, warehouse managers in various places will move the required materials on the list from the warehouse to nearby open spaces. , and then notify the robot fleet to come and receive it.

This practice is undoubtedly rather trivial and scattered. Fortunately, there are enough robots available to handle the transportation tasks, so it’s not a big problem. It's a pity that those responsible for liaison and records have to sort out this messy entry and exit account.

In short, the two empires of Gwana and Haider were in a state of chaos.
