Super Floating City

　　Stephen left the next morning.

　　 He was not interested in intervening in the aristocratic aristocracy, and the Countess Eliya also needed to exercise herself. The woman was wise and ambitious, but her wrists were a little jerky. Before leaving, he instructed Mrs. Eliya to find a knowledgeable scholar to teach writing to Fran, at least to be able to recognize all the words to become a wizard. Now that the silver mine and the land within 50 square kilometers nearby belong to Stephen. After spending so much thought, he finally got the Mithril Associated Mine. He must definitely go over and study how to mine it now.

　　The guards of the mining area had fewer than ten people, and Steven sent them away as soon as they arrived.

　　 For the sake of safety, he first arranged a large-scale alert spell trap around him, and then he went directly into the mine to explore the situation.

　　 "It really is the Mithril Associated Mine!"

　　As the first piece of silver ore was dug out by Stephen, a trace of rich and refined elemental power immediately poured into the body. If the elemental energy obtained by mining iron ore is like thin air, then the elemental energy obtained by mining mythril mine is like a viscous liquid, and the quantity energy and quality energy are greatly improved. Mithril was born in the tides of elements. Mithril appears only in the world where elemental tides erupt. It is a kind of magical metamorphic metal, not only silver can be transformed into mitral silver, other metal elements may also change the nature The structure becomes Mithril.

　　In the idea of ​​arcane empire, everything is composed of element particles, and the most basic element particles are born from the source sea.

　　The Arcanists believe that the source sea is the beginning of the multiverse and the place where all energy and all matter are born. Alchemists inherited this idea, and mastered the technique of how to change other metal elements such as copper into gold in the experiment. This requires changing the element particles inside the metal, which is completed in the process of rearranging the element particles Material conversion. Another experiment confirming this concept is'element annihilation'. During the experiment of "element collapse", no matter whether it is soil or metal, the volume will be greatly reduced after the element is completely annihilated, and the horrible increase in mass and density will eventually become A new annihilation substance. The characteristics of this annihilation material are almost the same. A ton of soil may eventually become only the size of rice grains. The final annihilation material is extremely hard and extremely dense, and the quality will disappear partly during the transformation, but an annihilation of the size of a goose soft stone There may be more than one ton of material.

　　Although countless arcanists firmly believe that this concept is correct.

　　 But it is a pity that it is extremely difficult to transform substances in real experiments. The legendary creation "Stone Gold" can only transform gold on a small scale, and many rare materials cannot be transformed at all.

　　 Mithril is one of them!

　　 Starting from the Thorium era, countless talented Arcanists tried to study the techniques of transforming Mithril, but in the end they all failed. However, they also succeeded in the process of failure. A substitute metal named ‘Thur Silver’ was refined, and then converted into new magical metal ‘Augin’ with refined gold and so on.

The study of this element transformation has spawned a large number of alternative materials for Mithril, and in this glorious period, the Arcane Empire even had three fortresses, 27 plane colonies, and more than 150 high-level Floating city.

　　Although all these were destroyed in the war against the gods.

　　 But these glorious pasts are forever remembered in the hearts of all the casters, and Stephen also dreamed of the era of daring to challenge the gods!

　　Mitralite extraction is extremely difficult.

　　 Only about one hundred pounds of silver can be extracted from about one gram of mitral silver. There are very few mitral silver riches in the multiverse. The one obtained by Stephen is obviously not a rich mineral. But in any case, there is Mithril is a good start. After the preliminary survey, he set out to prepare the mining area production line.

First of all.

　　Steven needs a complete underground mining system, which includes mining rails, vehicles, mining puppets, and power plants.

　　 It should be the easiest thing for Stephen to lay out a rail for mining. He has already hoarded a lot of iron ore, and it can be completed in three to five days. The most easily available delivery vehicle is naturally the minecart, and the integrated magic energy carrying refining device is not much to think about now. The most trouble-free on the power plant is the magic energy transmission configuration and the soul smelting engine. The former uses a stable magic energy supply, and the latter extracts the energy of the soul spar.

　　 But!

　　 None of these conditions can be met at present. The only thing Stephen can use is a steam engine, which uses coal as a fuel.

　　The high-end magic energy process has extremely high requirements for materials. He does not even have a magic energy forging steel production line, and he can't do anything decent. Fortunately, the magic energy craftsmanship was developed after the arcane empire. Before that, the wizards had thought of many alternatives.

　　A primitive mining system needs manpower most naturally.

　　 And Stephen can now provide a steady stream of human resources, that is, the Golem puppet technology that has appeared in the Thorium era.

　　The Golem puppet technology has made three leaps of development. For the first time in the Thorium era, the wizards created a kind of servants and assistants with simple intelligence. In the second period of the Arcane Empire, the powerful arcanists used rune secrets to form intelligent structures, formally created the tower spirit structure, and gave the golem puppet the corresponding expertise and skills to make them more ' Smarter is more powerful, and the combat capabilities of the Golem Legion have also been greatly improved during this period. The third leap forward development was after the Arcane Empire was defeated by the gods, the core structure of the tower spirit was upgraded again, and greatly improved artificial intelligence was applied to the golem puppet to develop magic power armor.

　　Steven is going to use the earliest golem puppet craft.

　　The golem puppets of this period have obvious characteristics, low energy consumption, simple intelligence, easy control, easy maintenance, etc. Although they are primitive and simple, they can handle most of the tedious and repetitive work.

　　 The more precise golem puppets, the higher the daily maintenance requirements.

　　 So Stephen is going to make a ‘clay golem’. The combat ability is equivalent to a 7th-level warrior. It has self-healing ability and can execute simple commands. The emphasis is on greater strength. UU reading www.uukanshu. The materials used by com to make low-level golem puppets are very simple, but the key lies in the two points of ‘soul core’ and ‘activation of constructed life’.

　　 The core of the soul gives the golem puppets simple intelligence, allowing them to engage in less complex repetitive tasks.

　　Activate the magic of constructing life, the key point is to make them into living creatures, and transform into living life similar to earth elements. But these two points need to use a very important thing, that is, [soul spar], which in some aboriginal world is called the power of [soul], is the product of the dissipation of soul after the death of life.

　　 The soul is a carrier, and the energy it contains is the power of the [soul], which is transformed into the entity is the [soul spar].

It is a pity.

　　 Soul spars are difficult to produce naturally. Only some special existence will drop the original soul spars (gray crystals). In most cases, if you want to obtain soul spars, you must prepare a new carrier.

　　 Normally, wizards use gems to transform soul spars.

The cost of a clay golem is about 500-1000 gold coins, and a large part of this cost is used on the soul core. According to the volume capacity of the clay golem, the wizards need to prepare a huge gem to serve as the soul core. Carrier. Stephen's luck is not bad, he just has a diamond from Mrs. Ilia, which is enough to make a small soul spar. In order to ensure the solidity of the soul core, arcanists often use'man-made diamonds' to transform soul crystals. Crystal is also one of the substitutes, but it is too fragile.
