Chapter 508 Artificial Magic Net
Tens of thousands of high-level mages participated in the construction. Richard had not fought such a rich war for a long time. Even after the continuous development of the Marvel world by Richard, the total number of mages now does not exceed 5,000.
The number of high-level mages is even less.
The racial talent of the high elves is really incomparable to other races. Although it is also very difficult for them to break through the legend, it is almost no difficulty for them to break through to the high-level mage.
In the environment created by the Sunwell, it is not too easy to get promoted.
After Richard copied the design blueprint, the entire island of Quel'Danas began to carry out large-scale construction. The entire island began to lay an artificial magic net covering the entire island.
The artificial magic net technology requires a huge energy source to support it, and it will also serve as an energy channel to transmit the energy of the Sunwell to various places. It can reduce waste and improve energy efficiency.
Of course, this is only the most basic ability of the artificial magic net.
In addition to these, the most important function of the artificial magic net is to store spells and serve as a carrier of the puzzle lock. The puzzle lock is integrated with the artificial magic net.
In the past, the high elves only had rune arrays and rune stones that formed rune barriers, which were the original prototypes of the puzzle locks.
Under Richard's blueprint design, tens of thousands of mages began to make artificial magic nets. Sufficient manpower allowed the magic net to be woven very quickly, and Richard only needed to weave the backbone network.
Of course, the backbone weaving of the magic net was very difficult, and high-level mages could not do it. Their role was to do a lot of tedious work at the primary level.
The progress of the project was unexpectedly fast. In the end, it took only two months to complete the magic net weaving. The entire magic net was finally merged into the main body under Richard's connection.
The magic net covering the island of Quel'Danas was woven. The completion of the magic net does not mean that the matter is over. The magic net needs to be tested next.
Quel'Danas Island, Astrology Tower.
Richard, Sylvanas, Kael'thas, Rommath and others stood in the front, and there were several legendary mages of the high elves behind them.
In front of everyone was a control center carved from a purple soul crystal. There were more than a dozen crystals around the control center crystal, running like planets around a star.
Richard connected the artificial magic network to it and started it to run.
"Artificial magic network is starting to connect."
"Element pool energy is turned on."
"Connecting. Data is being transmitted."
"Connected successfully, the magic network control authority has been obtained, do you want to start the magic network?"
"Start the magic network!"
As Richard gave the order, the energy center that was originally rotating slowly suddenly shone brightly, and powerful magic energy was infused into it.
An astonishing wave of magic power appeared in the tower and quickly spread to the entire island of Quel'Danas. It was completed in just a moment.
In the sky, silver rune chains appeared one after another, and at the same time, the energy of the Sunwell began to be infused into it. One network after another began to crisscross.
In just a blink of an eye, a huge network was formed, and the elemental energy that was originally scattered in the air began to be controlled by this force.
The originally free and undisciplined elemental energy began to behave like a well-trained soldier at this moment. All the energy entered the grid of the magic network.
The whole process was very fast and was completed in less than ten minutes.
"The artificial magic network was successfully started, and the maze lock was successfully started!"
"The artificial magic network system began to enter the self-checking mode and began to compare the design blueprint. It began to detect system vulnerabilities. It began to detect magic network defects. It began to detect the magic network protection field."
The control center rotated rapidly, and dozens of crystals rotated around it with mysterious rules. On the holographic projection on the other side, a large amount of data was scrolling rapidly. One module after another was detected by the control center, and all problematic areas would be marked.
The self-checking mode of the magic network did not take a long time. It took about ten minutes for the entire test to be completed. Then the holographic projection projected the three-dimensional model of the entire Quel'Danas Island.
All the energy networks were marked on it, and all the problematic areas were marked in red.
Richard waved his hand gently, and the holographic projection immediately enlarged and showed one of the problematic areas.
"System self-check completed. There are 183 errors, loopholes and defects in the current magic network, 13 high-risk loopholes, 71 general problems, and 99 areas that can be optimized."
"Sort out all the problematic areas, and then record them, and let the mages responsible for the area to modify them!" Richard said to Kael'thas.
Kael'thas nodded and said, "Okay, Godfather!"
Then Kael'thas used the image gems to record all the problem areas, and then handed these image gems to the servants, asking them to go down and arrange.
Although there are more than 100 problems in the magic network, it is actually very good. The artificial magic network of Richard's floating city was several times smaller than this, but there were more problems than this.
Soon a large number of high elf mages left with the image gems.
Next, Richard began to test the control center. The control center needs to be strengthened, and its own defense system also needs to be improved.
Richard set the underlying logic for the control center. Its own defense capability level is very high, and no one has the authority to stop its own defense system.
This is to avoid the problem of the high elf barrier being betrayed by traitors during the undead scourge. If the high elf defense barrier had not been destroyed, the undead army led by Kael'thas would not have been able to break through the Kingdom of Quel'Danas.
Although the elven barrier of the Kingdom of Quel'Danas is only the prototype of the mythical lock, its energy source is the Sunwell, which has almost endless energy.
With the energy provided by the Sunwell, the elven barrier will always exist, and Kael'thas cannot forcibly break the barrier, and the undead army can only be blocked outside as a target.
This is also the reason why the high elves did not take the undead army seriously at the beginning.
Now the artificial magic network is controlled by the central crystal, which is a variant of the tower spirit and has wisdom. Basically, as long as the tower spirit does not have any problems, the artificial magic network will not have any problems.
If you want to modify the tower spirit, you need to open its defense system, otherwise you can only attack by force.
After the blessing of the Sunwell, the challenge level of the tower spirit has reached an astonishing level of 32.
Except for Richard, none of the high elves had the strength to forcefully defeat the tower spirit.
In the next two days, Richard debugged the control center tower spirit several times, and finally fixed all the problems on the magic network.
The entire magic network also reached the most perfect state.
Next, Richard began to formally integrate the magic network into the network of Quel'Danas. The moment the artificial magic network was incorporated into the island of Quel'Danas, except for Richard, other spellcasters immediately felt the restrictions of the magic network on them.
Of course, this restriction prevented them from casting spells at will, and after Kael'thas entered the permissions of the high elves into it, these high elves soon received the blessing of the magic network.
Sylvanas chanted two words softly, and the whole person immediately flew up. The advantage of the magic network and the puzzle lock is that as long as you get the permission, you can cast spells within the range of the magic network.
And this spell does not need to consume its own magic power. This is the spell stored in the magic network.
Even if you don't know magic, you can still cast it, but this kind of spell requires the permission of the magic network, and the number and frequency are limited.
In addition to these magics, the magic network also adds a large number of permanent states. In the range of the magic network, the strength of the high elves has directly doubled.
"How magical!" Sylvanas said in surprise.
"This is the power of the magic network!" Richard said with a smile.
To put it bluntly, the magic network is a huge magic storage, control, recording, and monitoring instrument. After obtaining the permission, you can log in and obtain the corresponding spells with the corresponding permission.
In addition to these, the magic network can also store personal spells. After obtaining the permission, every mage can use the magic network to record magic. After completing the magic recording, when you want to use it, you can cast it instantly.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!
Of course, this ability to record magic can only record the spells you have learned, and after using it, it will be cleared and you need to record it again the next day.
In fact, this method is to assist mages in fighting. After all, not all mages have mastered the abilities of [Instant Spells], [Combat Casting], and [Moving Casting].
"The power of the magic network cannot completely replace itself, so self-training cannot be stopped. The magic network is just an auxiliary!" Richard said.
"We understand!" Everyone nodded.
The existence of the magic network has reduced the difficulty of becoming a mage. Originally, you needed excellent intelligence and qualifications to become a mage, but now you only need to reach 12 points of intelligence.
Of course, you can become a mage with 12 points of intelligence, but how far you can go on this road in the future depends entirely on luck.
And once you get out of the magic network, mages with too low intelligence will directly lose their ability to cast spells.
After completing the magic network, the high elves began to reinforce the foundation of the entire Quel'Danas Island.
The entire foundation needs to be reinforced with hardening, and in some important areas, legendary mages are needed to reinforce it.
The name of the hardening spell sounds very ordinary, but in fact it is a difficult six-ring spell that requires high-level mages to control.
Its effect is to increase the hardness and toughness of any material. Every two spell levels can increase the hardness and toughness by one point.
This spell can initially increase the hardness by six points, which can increase the hardness of wood to the level of steel.
Now that the foundation of the entire island has been reinforced, the hardness and toughness of Quel'Danas Island will far exceed that of steel, easily reaching several times that of steel.
According to the requirements of the Supreme Arcane Council, if you want to travel in the astral world, the hardness of the foundation of the floating city needs to be able to withstand the impact of a small meteorite.
Note that this is without opening any protection.
Only when it reaches this level can it be considered a qualified floating city.
Of course, there are also some floating cities whose foundations cannot reach this level. Although these floating cities can fly in the material plane, they cannot enter the astral world and cannot be teleported in space.
It is called a floating city, but in fact it can only pretend to be powerful in the material plane, and even its combat effectiveness is not high.
When teleporting in space, a lot of stress will be generated, pulling the floating city as a whole. If it cannot withstand this stress, the floating city will fall apart.
At the same time, in the astral world, although the floating city is not affected by gravity, if it is close to other stars and material planes, it will be affected by their gravity. If the quality is not up to standard, the floating city is likely to fall apart under the huge gravity and its own stress.
The floating city looks like a city, but in fact it is a powerful weapon built by arcanists that combines many functions such as attack, defense, production, and survival.
The same is true for the island of Quel'Danas. This island is a large spaceship and the last way for the high elves.
This floating island is equipped with powerful weapons, which are basically used to deal with the Burning Legion and the fallen titan Sargeras.
That Sargeras has not given up destroying the world of Azeroth. If he really waits for Sargeras to arrive, the high elves will also be able to fight.
Even with the matrix weapons of the eighteen wizard towers on the floating island, Sargeras can't stand it.
However, with Sargeras's strength, the high elves can't stand his attack power. After all, Sargeras can destroy the planet.
Although the floating island has strong defense, it cannot withstand such an attack.
So if the floating island fights against the general, whoever is hit will be finished.
After the puzzle lock and magic net of the floating island are completed, the floating island begins to build a production area. The high elves use the opening of small planes and space expansion.
Because there is the sunwell as an energy source, the high elves can introduce the power of the sunwell into the small plane after opening it, and then plant or raise various animals in the small plane.
Richard gave them the complete construction technology of the botanical garden, and the high elves began to build the ecological park according to the technical requirements.
At the same time, various energy circulation and conversion rune arrays are also under construction.
After the demise of the Kingdom of Stormwind, the high elves began to focus on their own construction.
The same is true for the Kingdom of Lordaeron. With a population of 100,000, many areas of Lordaeron began to enter a state of recovery.
At the same time, the high elves also sent magicians to assist them. Help them purify the polluted land. The pollution of the undead scourge is difficult to clean up, and some seriously polluted areas need to wait for the power of nature to recover.
The high elves had no way to deal with this. As for the druids among the night elves, they were busy repairing the Emerald Dream and had no time to spare.
Lordaeron could only temporarily abandon those severely polluted areas.
After the fall of Stormwind Kingdom, Vanessa also led the civilians to start the reconstruction work. For a time, the entire Azeroth Alliance entered a period of recuperation.
