Looking at the building on the blueprint, both Gao Ge and Roy were very shocked. After all, this magic tower was fifty meters high and the tallest furnace they had built was less than thirty meters high.
However, these things were not what they considered. Based on their consistent trust in Lin Xingchen, everyone had no doubts. Now that they had the drawings, they needed to study them carefully.
The tower is supported by four legs about 20 meters above the ground. It is built with an observation deck that can accommodate 20,000 people, and then a steel frame is built from the corridor to the top of the tower.
There is a lightning absorption device at the top of the tower, which is used to attract lightning and the magic of the sky. This is an idea that was added later after everyone brainstormed.
Such a building requires a large amount of special metals, and the lava magic gold produced on the continent of Kag is very suitable for completing the foundation of this tower.
The goblins took away the lava magic gold that they had accumulated for decades when they left, so they naturally would not be stingy at this time.
Not only the lava magic gold, but also how to build the base of the tower and how to maintain its stability requires rigorous calculation. Roy gave a solution to this difficult problem.
A solidified magic circle was set up under the three tripods at the base of the tower. This was a special magic circle that was very unpopular. Once it was built, everything would seem to grow in the earth.
The goblins came up with an answer within a few days of calculating the problem, and they gathered the strength of the entire clan and went all out to build the tower.
Starting from the base, large amounts of rare metals are transformed into the required shape, and every inch is checked and measured to ensure that everything is perfect.
The cost of building this tower is a huge number, and the special magic-conducting metals and technologies involved are very puzzling.
Magical problems naturally need to be solved with magic. Welding is done with compressed fire magic. Maple Leaf Territory and other steel mills produce the steel needed by the lord every day. Some of them can be directly cast but some still need to be forged by hand.
In a corner of the Plano continent, two important countries are constantly sharpening their claws and accumulating their own strength. Although they have not taken any action on their own during this period, some small actions have never changed.
The hostility between the two countries did not affect the trade between the two sides, because everyone was busy developing business and the trade became more prosperous. A scene of political coldness and economic warmth appeared between the Kurma and Shapnero Empires.
However, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In order to please Sharpnero, the Sterling Empire kept selling some technology to the Maple Leafs.
Sharpone used Kurma as a test stone, and he directly copied many of the policies and tried them out in his own country. Some places achieved great success, but also caused confusion for many people.
Gustav's ability and control over the empire were evident to everyone. He issued all policies that were beneficial to the empire with an irresistible command, but these policies greatly damaged the interests of the nobles because they were not matched by equal efforts.
Everyone's dissatisfaction with Gustav began to accumulate, but it was of no use. Your uncle will always be your uncle. As long as you don't dare to jump out and point out the problem, then Gustav either doesn't know it or he knows it but pretends not to know.
It’s not that no one has suggested that since you are taking away other people’s policies, shouldn’t you also take away their welfare as well? Gustav smiled and handled the issue in the imperial style.
It was not until this time that everyone was really sure that the emperor was serious, but unfortunately the flames were not suppressed in the early stage and now they are burning very fiercely, it is difficult to destroy them.
David Clark, one of the seven dukes of the empire, is only left with the title of duke, and his territory is less than one third of its original size. He has been in a slump since his defeat in World War I, and no one can count on him anymore.
After Clark's downfall, the Kirk family naturally became the first family in the empire. After their heir, Colliver Kirk, returned from the Maple Leaf Territory and was summoned by Emperor Gustav, the Kirk family became even more powerful.
Also summoned were His Majesty Gustav's illegitimate daughter, Caitlin Lola, the youngest daughter of the Prime Minister of the Empire, Scarlett Clive, and Marcy Oliver, the illegitimate son of the Oliver family, the powerful marquis of the Empire.
These four people stayed in Maple Leaf Territory for many years, especially Caitlin, who was the top leader of Maple Leaf Territory. After being summoned, they were all assigned to corresponding positions.
Although they themselves do not want to get involved in these things, some things are just like what their good friends said when they left Maple Leaf Territory: "Everyone has a family and needs to be responsible for them. I hope that everyone will not forget the time we once took risks together in private."
The four of them had developed a deep bond with the Maple Leaf Leader, but unfortunately some things were beyond their control. Lin Xingchen remained very calm about this and gave his companions the best wishes.
The departure of the four people will not cause much harm to Maple Leaf Territory, nor will it bring much advantage to the Empire. These things are just some small hairs between the two countries.
All the nobles and celebrities of the Kulma Kingdom once again gathered in Maple Leaf Territory. Every such gathering would attract the attention and nerves of countless people.
Staff from all major newspapers arrived early to try to get a standout front page as soon as possible, while businessmen were also constantly asking about all the details of the rally.
“Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen, the Prime Minister and all the noble ladies and gentlemen. Today is an important day and I am honoured to have the opportunity to preside over today’s gathering.
Please remember that today is March 6, 3118 in the Magic Calendar. Today is not only our Duke’s 30th birthday, but also the day when the magic tower, which took 6 years to build, is officially completed.
We have overcome many difficulties in 6 years and finally built this magic tower. Maybe many people don't know what the magic tower is. Please follow the Duke to visit it. "Standing at the entrance of the magic tower and watching the Queen and others quietly listening to his voice, Charles felt that he could brag about this for several days.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Prime Minister, please follow me!" Charles welcomed the Queen and her husband, and the Prime Minister and his wife into the elevator.
The height of more than 20 meters would probably make people exhausted if they didn't take the elevator. The material of the elevator is the same as the entire magic tower, and the surface is covered with a layer of silver-white metal, which is very dazzling.
The four elevator passages were in an orderly manner. Lin Xingchen, along with his three wives and children, were waiting for everyone's arrival in the corridor in the middle of the magic tower.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Your Royal Highness the Prince and the Prime Minister." The couple and their four companions bowed one by one.
"Happy birthday, Lin. I didn't expect that today is your birthday. I didn't prepare a gift for you. It's really rude." Queen Lydia is still as young as ever, but more mature than before.
"Your Majesty's coming here is the best gift. Please wait for a moment. After everyone is here, I will explain to you the benefits of this Maple Leaf Territory's highest technological achievement."
The space inside the tower is very large, enough to accommodate 20,000 people gathering at the same time. As the last group of people arrived, Charles nodded to Lin Xingchen.
After Lin Xingchen officially signaled to the queen who was chatting next to him, he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers. His voice could be heard throughout the hall.
"Without further ado, please allow me to introduce the Magic Tower to you. The entire Magic Tower is 52 meters high and is made entirely of special magic-conducting metal. The silver-white metal on the outside is the Abyss Magic Silver, a specialty metal from the Endless Abyss.
It uses a total of 320 tons of steel. It can be said that the construction of this tower represents the highest technical level of our Maple Leaf Territory."
"This tower has several main functions, including energy storage, transportation, attack and defense." Lin Xingchen explained some of the capabilities very clearly.
"Everyone, today is the first time it is officially opened. You can all see a magical scene." As he issued a command to activate the system of the second floor of the magic tower, magic power from the earth was continuously drawn into the center of the observation deck on the second floor.
Of course, if we rely entirely on extracting the magic power of the earth, it will take a very long time, at least a month to fill up the tower. In order to allow everyone to experience these functions as soon as possible, the tree of life plays a key role.
Through the transparent glass ceiling or through the magic of mirroring spells, everyone saw a huge magic ball constantly rotating on the second floor.
"Everyone, the azure sphere you see contains the extracted earth magic power. This magic power will be provided to all the contracted magicians."
"Perhaps everyone finds it a little strange that a magician who has his own magic power needs this tower to provide magic power. Now please watch carefully. Charles, please come over and demonstrate for Her Majesty the Queen and everyone else."
When the fat guy was down there, he was still calm and handled things appropriately, but now he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
But in the end, the biggest plan was walked to the front of everyone, stretched out his right hand and said: "You should all know me, Fatty. You should all know that I, Fatty, am a person who has neither fighting spirit nor magic. But now, as long as I want, I can also cast magic!" After saying that, a fist-sized fireball appeared in his hand, and in order to make everyone feel the authenticity of the fireball, he threw it at a target that had been prepared long ago.
He practiced for a long time for this accuracy. Fortunately, he did not make a fool of himself today and the fireball successfully hit the target. Seeing the wooden target being hit and then moving, many nobles were dumbfounded. A person who does not know magic can actually use magic...
