Vol 2 Chapter 9: Space crossing

Time always passes unconsciously.
It has been half a month since Sophia returned to the bottomless abyss, and Stephen still has no news.
He couldn't put all his hopes on the death master Sauron, so after the second batch of resources from the Dark Abyss was returned, Stephen began to prepare to further upgrade the floating city.
The combat capabilities of the floating city are composed of three parts. The first part is the Golem Legion. Now Stephen has begun mass production of steel golems. Their combat effectiveness is roughly equivalent to that of the armored infantry of the Star Age, but there is no long-range attack. This is the case in the design of golem puppets, because the wizard itself is a long-range fort, and the conventional long-range attack methods carried by golem puppets are not worth mentioning at all. Ordinary thermal weapons are also the power of the first and second ring spells. A three-ring fireball is already more powerful than howitzers, so thermal weapons have not developed much since the Thorium era.
This situation continued until the age of arcane empire. The research of arcanists made breakthrough progress. After the development of energy-based long-range weapons, long-range attack methods were only carried on higher structures, such as arcane Guards, magical armor, spell breakers, etc.
This type of advanced alchemy structure is extremely expensive and more expensive than the diamond golem, so it is limited in scale.
The second part is the fan lock structure. The super-large fan lock that covers the entire Yarantil has been completed, but Stephen has not been completely upgraded. The fan lock is an ultra-large device with integrated offense and defense, but the fan lock in the floating city has only defense. Ability to attack. At the same time, the field of forbidden magic has not been completed, and it is impossible to open a super-large forbidden space. Rainbow Bridge needs to be further upgraded to obtain the ability to perform long-distance space escaping.
The third part is the strategic ultra-long-range strike. At this point, Stephen has completed a lot. The lethal power of the magic crystal superconducting pulse gun ii is already large enough. One attack is enough to seriously damage or even kill the ancient evil. However, due to energy supply problems, the Magic Energy Crystal Superconducting Pulse Cannon is unable to carry out continuous bombardment strikes, and at the same time, it cannot carry out destructive strikes with super-strength overload.
He needs a more advanced energy source.
This energy source was once controlled by the Supreme Arcane Council, but it was firmly held in the hands of several people. Even Stephen only knew a part of it, which he used to transform the elemental fusion furnace.
of course.
This kind of energy source is not without substitutes. There are still some things in the multiverse that can provide endless energy. The one he is most familiar with is the Miser Energy Core, which is the top technology of the Thurium era. However, if there is something similar to the universe cube and fire seed, Stephen will be more happy because he can directly upgrade the combat effectiveness of the floating city to the level of the star destroyer.
Endless energy, super large output power.
As long as these two points can be achieved, Stephen can equip the floating city with his own super strategic weapon, but with the output power of the current element fusion furnace, at most it is to maintain the simultaneous opening of the fan lock and the charged magic crystal pulse gun. The power of the lock can not be opened to the maximum value, and the energy consumed in the forbidden field is very huge.
In the laboratory.
Stephen's figure is suspended in mid-air, and the Alchemist's hand is simultaneously controlling more than ten extremely delicate silver cube-like constructs. The assistants beside him are the Prophet-Ankara and the Insight-Akasha, At present, only these two are qualified to be Stephen's assistants. The others in the Wuhuan Tower are very academically poor.
They are partial wizards, dedicated to improving their combat effectiveness, rather than mastering more academic knowledge.
Hum.
A central crystal with a diameter of 30 centimeters floated up, and Stephen reached out to the energy pool beside him. Ankara immediately launched a mana siphon to extract the power from the energy pool and transform it into an elemental siphon into the central crystal. Inside the central crystal, as many as tens of thousands of precise rune marks illuminate one by one, and Stephen assembles those seemingly cube-like constructs with one wave.
At this time, he was relieved: "Take a break."
Their work has lasted for a week.
Most of this work was done by Stephen, but the two legendary witches also helped a lot, that is, their alchemy ability can meet Stephen's requirements.
"Are you done?" Ankara, the predictor, took a break and asked.
Stephen nodded: "It's almost done."
"The next step is to install it on the Rainbow Bridge for testing."
Insight-Akasha was a little excited: "When do we start?"
"Afternoon." Stephen said: "Go eat something first."
He hasn't left the laboratory in three days.
Outside the door.
The maid chief, Tinax, had been waiting for a long time, and a sumptuous lunch was quickly brought up at her command.
The group eats in silence.
In the afternoon, Stephen installed the newly completed alchemy device on the Rainbow Bridge, and then said with a deep voice: "Talling No. 1. Start the element furnace ~ EbookFREE.me ~ ready to recharge."
Hum.
The whole floating city shook slightly.
Stephen came to the horoscope in the archmage robe, inserted his staff into the energy tank, and guided the huge energy source from deep underground.
"Turn on the fan lock!"
"The lock has been activated."
"Activate the energy protection barrier."
"Energy protection barrier is activated."
A translucent light blue energy protection barrier wrapped the entire floating city. The movement here shocked many people in Alain Thier, and countless people were looking at this side with their brains. The residents of the floating city have been temporarily resettled elsewhere, and all that remains are wizards.
The energy transmission network began to recharge, and the light purple energy halo was everywhere.
"Starting off the ground."
"Start floating ring."
Hundreds of wizards were busy in the floating city, constantly checking the situation everywhere. It seemed that there was a slight earthquake in the entire Yalantir, and the alchemy installation on the ground began to separate from the surface, and the floating rings were charged one by one. Yes, in the shocking eyes of countless people, the city rose to the sky of about 100 meters.
Stephen's floating city had the ability to fly very early.
But flying is just one of the most basic abilities of StarCity. He now wants to test more advanced capabilities.
"Start Rainbow Bridge!"
"Start charging!"
"Lock the space sign!"
"Calculate the spatial deviation value!"
"Completed."
"Recharged."
"Prepare for space escaping!...Opening the space wormhole!...Increase the power supply of the fan lock!...Open the fan's high-level protective field!..."
