Chapter 678: Infrastructure Artifact
Even a fool can feel such a strong wave of magical energy, so how could it foolishly rush out?
Of course, hide as far as you can, and attack from other places.
This is the most contradictory place.
Where Xiao En prepares his ultimate move, the energy of the technique will inevitably fluctuate greatly, and the purple monster will not be fooled at all.
Similarly, the movement of the purple monster walking through the ground was too loud to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack at all, and Sean would not stand there stupidly and let him bite.
As a result, after fighting for a whole afternoon, no one could do anything about it.
In the end, it ended with the purple monster actively retreating.
The reason for its retreat was not that it fell into a state of exhaustion, but that night fell and the temperature dropped rapidly.
Naturally, it would not foolishly fight Sean in such an environment that was not conducive to itself.
On the whole, Sean suffered a lot from this confrontation.
The shaft he dug for half a month and the magic bricks he accumulated were basically scrapped.
That vertical shaft, Sean is going to build part of the mage tower, when the time comes, a magic elevator will be built directly in the mage tower, so that it can enter the deep layer and give priority to mining rich ore.
In addition, there is an area of nearly ten square kilometers in the energy mine, which is full of potholes arched by purple monsters, filled with piles of magic mud and large cave entrances.
The perfectly flat ground was transformed into a complex small hilly terrain.
If it wasn't for the large enough energy mines, Sean could move while fighting, and if he was fighting purple monsters in such a complex terrain, he would suffer a big loss if he was a little careless.
The cunning of the purple monster was far beyond Xiao En's expectations.
Since the purple monster only uses one side of its body from beginning to end, no matter whether the big part is outside or the small part is protruding, there is always a large part of it hidden underground.
After a long time, Sean thought it was a natural limitation of the purple monster!
Who would have thought that this was simply the purple monster's tactic to paralyze itself. When its head and butt broke through the ground at the same time, it really shocked Sean and almost stumbled.
That raid was the most dangerous confrontation between the two.
The three ice shields of the frost giant were all blown up.
In order to prevent the Frost Giant from being swallowed by the purple monster, the earth armored bear was also forced to rush forward, and had a head-to-head confrontation with the purple monster's ass.
The result can be imagined, just like a small car crashing into a large Dongfeng truck without knowing its life or death.
The big truck didn't even move, and the car flew by itself.
Not only the earth armor on the earth armored bear was smashed into pieces, but even the energy skeleton flickered several times. The magic energy was consumed like running water. Fortunately, the most indispensable thing here is the magic energy. It will be replenished in a few minutes.
However, Xiao En also took the opportunity to leave a small souvenir for the purple monster. The giant mining pick that had not yet been unsealed was used as a throwing weapon by the frost giant, and it was thrown into the purple monster's mouth, nailing it deeply. on its upper jaw.
The handle of the giant mining pick was ground to pieces by the spiral teeth of the purple monster and the soil it swallowed in an instant, but the fine steel pick that had been nailed into the meat, on the contrary, went deeper and deeper under repeated wriggling and impact. Among the muscles.
Although the giant mining pick was tailor-made for the Frost Giants, and the stainless steel double-headed pick was taller than a human when erected, it was still too delicate compared to the purple monster's huge body, and could not cause fatal damage to it.
But the feeling of sticking thorns in the throat will definitely not be too pleasant.
Especially when swallowing a large amount of sand or rocks, or wriggling forward, it is inevitable to repeatedly rub against the giant thorn, which will make it go deeper and produce continuous stinging pain.
This sting undoubtedly further stimulated the purple monster, keeping it in a berserk state, chasing Sean closely.
Since the giant thorn stuck in its throat, the purple monster started to use its head less, and more to attack with the other end.
The purple monster died down because of the weather temperature.
But Sean was not idle, on the contrary he was even busier.
While manipulating the earth armored bear and frost giant away from the energy mine, they continued to walk to the north where the climate is extreme, and ran for 30 kilometers. After the fluctuation of the spell energy weakened severely, they hid just now.
Of course, this is to avoid the revenge of the purple monster in the future.
After hiding them, Sean's main consciousness immediately returned to the northern fortress to inquire about the information about the purple monster.
Now the purple monster is not just a huge threat, a problem that seriously hinders him from mining and building mage towers.
Rather, Sean saw great value in the purple monster.
The spell content carried in the magic mud spewed from the purple monster, as well as the calculation of the spell energy it consumes in the process, are obviously not proportional to the number of energy crystals swallowed by it.
If the purple monster crushes all these energy crystals, the magic power released will not only be as simple as blasting them into slag, but will even blast the entire frozen wasteland into the sky.
In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, most of the energy crystals are still stored in the purple monster's stomach.
It is even possible that most of the energy crystals from half of the energy mine that made Xiao En scratch his liver and lungs in pain were stored intact in the purple monster's stomach.
Even if it is as huge as a battleship, if it is just for daily consumption, how much spell energy can it consume?
You must know that the fist is big, and if the energy released is converted into food, it will be enough to feed a million people for more than ten years.
If the purple monster is killed, the energy crystals harvested from its stomach may be more than what Xiao En has been digging here for decades.
Of course, this is the last resort of last resort, because it is too wasteful to do so.
What Sean valued was the purple monster itself.
This thing is a biological, automated building mining machine.
He fought with the purple monster for a long time, not for fun, of course, but to keep collecting data about it.
Although its method of manufacturing magic bricks is not flattering, it not only does not admit that the magic bricks produced by the other party using biological methods are far superior to those made by earth armored bears in terms of hardness, toughness, and plasticity.
In terms of hardness alone, the magic masonry made by the purple monster has reached a Mohs hardness of about 5.8-6.
The most important thing is that a large number of crystal stones are integrated in this thing, which is more conductive and accommodating to spell energy.
Not to mention that he still has the advantages of large quantity and sufficient supply.
Sean manipulated the armored bear on the earth to carry out secondary processing on the basis of these magic bricks. Not only is it easier, but it is also an out-and-out high-quality magic brick. The hardness is above 6, and the good ones can even reach 6.5. .
Think about it, if there is such a thing to help him build the mage tower, it will not take half a day to help him dig a large foundation hundreds of meters deep, and make a lot of building materials along the way.
Once there is a steady stream of building materials, the earth armored bear will carry out secondary processing, and the frost giant will carry out construction.
Sean has reason to believe that a modern, automatic mining factory driven by a mage tower can be built in ten days and a half months.
The usefulness of this guy is far more than that.
Influenced by Xiao En, the leader of the Yongye army is running wildly on the road of infrastructure madness.
But in Xiao En's eyes, their construction speed is still not ideal. The reason is that their population base is too small, which is not comparable to the flower growers who used to be the most populous country in their previous life. The speed of infrastructure construction is natural. slow.
Even if the Yongye Army Commander has been crazily encouraging population births since the establishment of the collar, with the improvement of medical facilities, living conditions and other aspects, the population has entered a state of blowout, and the birth and survival rate of babies is absolutely ranked No. 1 in the entire Asharn Continent. .1.
However, without external forces, if the population is artificially increased or plundered, it will take three or four generations of hard work, that is, fifty or sixty years, to really realize the population.
Under normal circumstances, Sean can afford to wait.
But judging from the sight of demons and goblins appearing in the Arshan Continent in recent years, Xiao En dare not wait so passively, and must further improve the pace of development of his military leadership.
Since the population has no way to think about it in a short period of time, it is necessary to find a way in terms of material resources, technology and black technology.
The purple monster is an infrastructure artifact given to him by God.
As the importance of the northern fortress to the Eternal Night Army continues to increase, Sean has been planning to build a railway between the northern fortress and the inland lake of Andes, so that the two sides can be more closely connected.
However, it has not been put on the agenda for a long time, not only because of the lack of iron and steel resources of Yong Ye's army, but also because of the difficulty in building large-scale railways.
It is also because the terrain between the two places is complex, not only is it as simple as a large mountain range, but also many areas belong to karst terrain, with many lava caves.
It is too difficult to build a railway tunnel.
If there is a purple monster, just choose the right route and punch holes all the way.
At that time, what Army Leader Yongye developed was not the subway, but the fucking subway—the magic subway.
The difficulty of building the energy reactors that require a lot of manpower and material resources from the Yongye military leader will be greatly reduced. In a few years, their energy reactors will be planted all over the entire military leader.
Just thinking about such a possibility made Sean overwhelmed with excitement.
The only problem now is that this god-given artifact has its own consciousness, and its temper is a little irritable.
Not only does it not listen to Sean's command now, but the first thing it does when it meets it is to turn Sean into a poop in its stomach.
In order to subdue this biological artifact, Sean could only go back to the northern fortress to check the information. If he wanted to subdue the other party, at least he had to know what the other party was and what its advantages and disadvantages were, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
Just knowing that a person is afraid of ice attacks is far from enough.
The result can be imagined, Xiao En went through the relevant information collected by the Yong Ye army leader, and there was no relevant information about this monster at all.
Sean had sent someone to sort out this knowledge when he was faced with the ancient mutation of animals. Even if he had it, he had already installed it in his mind. It is just a fluke to do it now.
Fortunately, there is also a living library in the northern fortress. Regardless of whether the other party knows it or not, let's talk about it first. Even if there is no gain, there is no loss.
When Sean approached the door, the ancestors were still immersed in academic research and could not extricate themselves.
When they get caught up in academic discussions, differences in identity, age background, and political affiliation seem to become irrelevant. In their eyes, there is only knowledge, and only knowledge.
And the convenience brought by the mage's tower allowed these four people to realize the true sense of forgetting to sleep and eat.
They have been here for a week, not to mention taking a step away from the mage tower, and they haven't even left the consciousness space for half a step.
The fourth person is of course Abner, the chief speaker of the Warlock Union. He arrived at the northern fortress a week ago, and Sean took the time to come back to greet him.
Although the unique sight of the northern fortress brought a certain degree of shock to Chairman Abner, it was not as big as imagined, and it was even a bit of a matter of course, as it should be.
Although he has not personally experienced the grand scene with abundant spell energy in the great environment, he has tasted it in the great library on the top of the sky, and in his own reasoning, he has imagined that the energy of the Eternal Night Army leading the construction of the northern fortress is nearing completion. The reactor had already been hinted to him.
As Sean knew, he was a relatively pure person, a pure scholar.
Compared with these foreign objects, he was more concerned about the series of academic questions Sean raised when he invited him to the northern fortress.
When Sean wrote to invite President Abner to come to the northern fortress, he was afraid that his teacher would be addicted to teaching, so he used a little trick to list a series of problems encountered in the practical application of rune mathematics. Throw it to Chief Speaker Abner, by the way, if you want to know the answer, please come to the northern fortress.
The result can be imagined, rune mathematics is the lifelong painstaking effort of Chairman Abner, just like his own son, once he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, he will catch it in his heart like a kitten, and of course he will run over immediately up.
Unexpectedly, those few academic questions were just stepping stones, and there was still a big academic iceberg waiting for him.
However, not only did he not show the slightest dislike, on the contrary he was very excited, and immediately devoted himself to it.
The four of them were arguing so fiercely that they didn't notice Sean's arrival at all.
Even if they noticed, they wouldn't care, this is Sean's world, and they have already gotten used to Sean's disappearance.
Sean stood by and listened for a few minutes, when he felt his head buzzing, full of technical terms such as plane function, time law, space law, space folding, energy index, space coordinates, etc. It's the same as the heavenly book.
One week outside, according to the speed of communication in their conscious space, it is at least ten times faster than the normal environment of verbal communication, enough for them to come up with many new tricks, research a lot of professional terms, and failed to mobilize Sean who followed up the whole process with the main consciousness , If you don't fill in the relevant knowledge, don't want to intervene in this level of seminars.
Seeing the endless appearance of academic seminars, Sean could only cough a few times, trying to interrupt them.
But the other party turned a deaf ear, Sean had to aggravate his cough.
"Didn't I already tell you? Don't bother us while we're in the middle of a discussion, even if the sky falls."
"If you don't open your mine honestly in the north, what are you doing running back?"
"Say something quickly, we can hear you."
"My lord, is there anything urgent?"
Among the four people, the only Chief of Staff of the Hebrew main force used the honorific title. After all, he has stayed the longest in the military and political system of the Eternal Night Army, and he has the most military color. No matter how unhappy he is, he will not easily manifested.
The faces of the others drooped, and their tones were terribly aggressive.
This is a common problem of many academic personnel. Theoretical academic research sometimes depends on inspiration. If you can catch the inspiration, maybe a lot of things will spew out. If you can’t catch it, you don’t know how much it will cost. How much effort.
When I was in a turbulent mood, I was suddenly interrupted by someone, and no one would be happy if it was anyone else.
'What the hell, after all, you all work for me, even if there are any research results, they are mine in the end, hehe...'
Xiao En comforted himself happily in his heart, but on the surface he was most apologetic. The kindest smile said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I don't want to bother you unless it is absolutely necessary, but in the process of mining, I encountered an unsolvable problem, and I need to rely on your knowledge of techniques. Maybe it can bring a little inspiration to your research.”
During October 1st, we will try double-updates, so you can have the cheek to ask for tickets. I'm really sorry, I've been doing this for so long, but sometimes I feel powerless. Recently, I made a plan to supplement various materials. I feel that my thinking has broadened a lot, and my writing has become smoother. I hope this state can be maintained! Thank you for your support as always, the old rules, the second is eight o'clock in the evening!
