Chapter 8: Artificial Magic Net IV

Night fell.
Stephen stood on the balcony at the top of the tower and overlooked the entire Yarantir. The broken city was being rebuilt in the rubble. The refugees who migrated were working hard in anticipation of a better life in the future. What ordinary people want is very simple. As long as they are given a home, they can live a relatively rich and peaceful life.
A bonfire emerged not far away, and the voice of the troubadour came faintly, accompanied by the sound of a beautiful lyre, which spread far away in the night.
Stephen watched all this quietly before turning back to the room after a long time.
Everyone has their own pursuit of life, whether it is to live like a maid, to eat, play, or play, or to be as passionate about power as the Countess Eliya, as long as they feel happy to live. it is good. Stephen has already had an ordinary life. Maybe he will occasionally remember it, but he still has to move higher.
It is precisely because he has experienced an ordinary life that he is full of motivation for the future.
Overnight.
In the early morning of the next day, Stephen began to be busy with the design of the first phase of the floating city. At present, the design part of the floating tower has been completed, which means that he must now start planning the floating city.
A floating tower is at most the size of a small town, and there are relatively few things to plan.
But a floating city is different, not only the expansion of the area, but also the trouble of various logistics needs. What Stephen wants to build is not just a floating city sloshing on a planet. The floating city he wants must be a super floating city with astral roaming capabilities. Such a floating city must be completely self-sufficient, even on the star. The world has been floating for hundreds of years without worrying about logistics.
"The population must be controlled below 30,000."
"Otherwise, the area of ​​the residential area occupied is too large!"
"Commercial area, workshop, city hall, follower hall...Plantation, ecological garden, laboratory, wizarding college..."
Stephen writes and draws on a drawing, and after a long time he rubbed his brows and said: "There are still too few people. It seems that we must recruit a few followers with special talents."
The greater the population, the greater the burden on the floating city.
Moreover, the area of ​​a floating city is directly linked to the energy supply. The larger the area, the more energy is consumed to maintain it. In the absence of the Miser energy core, only relying on the energy of [Element Fusion], Stephen can float up at most The population of the empty city is maintained at about 50,000.
If you want to build a floating city with a population of more than 100,000, you must study [Elemental Oblivion] or obtain [Misser Nuclear].
Stephen has been busy until the afternoon.
After designing the first phase of the floating city plan, he immediately transmitted it to the Queen Zera Ant Race.
That's right.
Stephen's design of the floating city is based on Alain Thier. He plans to split a part of Alain Tier directly into the floating city when the time is right. This must rely on the ability of Zera Ants, otherwise it would be too much for Stephen to do the work alone.
The Zara ant colony is currently multiplying very fast, and now has a population of nearly 50,000. Among them, the number of Zela worker ants has increased significantly. If necessary, a group of Zela soldier ants can be quickly hatched.
But now it is definitely time to catch up on the explosion of science and technology, and what Steven needs most is also the Zela worker ant as a labor force.
at dusk.
Stephen met the detained gnomes again. They now look much more honest and look in awe at Stephen's eyes.
At first, they were terrified by the huge energy fluctuations outside.
"How many people does your ethnic group have?" Stephen sat on the sofa and looked at the uneasy underground gnome in front of him.
The underground dwarf headed hesitated a moment and said: "There are probably more than three thousand people."
That's the kind of person?
Stephen was a little disappointed when he heard that. There are so few people in this group, and there are not many people who are really combative after depriving the old, weak and sick. No wonder these underground gnomes are so miserable. The population of the underground world has not been large. Even a dark elf city has a population of about 50,000 to 100,000, but the population of these underground gnomes is really too small.
"You still have some use for me."
"Now give you a choice, surrender to me as a vassal race, or do I directly use you as a slave?"
For Stephen, who dominates the powerful Zerg zerg, the role of the underground gnome is really a bit tasteless, but now the power of the Death Star has become stronger and stronger, even if the death eye is killed, it is impossible to stop him The invasion of the underground gnomes is a useful boost for Stephen.
No resources can be let go at this time.
The underground world is an eternal slave system, because the environment is much worse than the surface world. Whether it is the dark elves, gray dwarves, eye demons, etc., they are trying to capture as many slaves as free labor, even the underground gnomes. Will enslave other races.
As a slave, it is still a good ending~EbookFREE.me~ The most terrible thing is to fall into the hands of those monsters.
They will capture the captives as food reserves.
The underground gnome in front of him is obviously still a little bit of eyesight. Stephen's voice just fell, and the underground gnome headed was kneeling on one knee, and the others were kneeling on the floor. He leaned over and said: "Pocobe is willing to serve his master."
Stephen nodded slightly: "Very good."
The underground gnomes in front of them are more aware of current affairs, and Stephen will naturally not embarrass them.
He waved away the ban on these underground gnomes and slowly said: "Take your people to prepare. We will go underground tomorrow."
The underground world is rich in minerals.
Moreover, the mineral gold is basically in the deepest underground, and it is impossible to mine the surface. At present, all the gold circulating on the market comes from the underground world. Since there is an ancient ruin and a fine gold mine beneath Jarantir, Stephen has to go and see how he goes.
The floating tower floats above it.
When needed, Stephen can use the earth veins to extract the energy of the floating tower, even if he encounters some powerful monsters deep underground.
These underground gnomes quickly retreated.
The guards brought by the Countess Elijah will arrange for them. Stephen turns to the Wizard's Tower, and after entering the hall, he looks at the boring snake-haired banshee, Aisha, lying on the couch beside him, bored Pull, slowly said: "Be prepared."
"Tomorrow join me to explore the underground."
Snake-haired Banshee is also a rare race in the underground world. Aisala is more fishy than the surface world in the underground world, and should be a good helper.
