Chapter 209 Wizard Tower Structure
The second part of the wizard tower is space planning.
As the name suggests, the main content is the layout of the internal space of the wizard tower.
A complete wizard tower, its internal space includes but is not limited to experimental area, planting area, meditation area, training area, warehouse area, living area, workshop area, prison room, etc.
These areas are not simply marked out.
Protective magic should be arranged in the experimental area to prevent accidental explosions from destroying the wizard tower.
An energy-gathering array should be set up in the planting area to gather energy particles and enhance the growth of the magic plants.
The meditation area should be equipped with an energy-active array to improve meditation efficiency.
Even the simplest training area must be reinforced and protected, and magic targets that can detect energy intensity must be placed to help apprentices obtain real-time information on their own spell mastery.
However, the most important thing is to use dimensional space technology to expand the space.
A small wizard tower that appears to be only five or six hundred meters high from the outside, but its interior area is often larger than a town.
This piece alone will consume a large amount of star sand.
——The latter is also the main material for making space-related magic items.
The final combat device is also the most important part of the wizard tower.
The combat device is mainly divided into two parts: protection and attack.
The former is mainly a maze-lock protective energy field.
A most basic small maze-like protective energy field can easily withstand the spell bombardment of dozens of first-level wizards for twenty-four hours.
As long as the instantaneous attack intensity does not exceed the protection limit of the energy field and the element pool has sufficient energy, it is basically difficult to break through the energy field.
Generally speaking, unless it is a war creature of the same level, it is basically difficult for a biological individual to break through the protective energy field of the maze.
When attacking the Tower of Stars, Sunan also broke through from the inside. The energy field of the Tower of Stars was not used at all. Otherwise, even if he had a legion of golems, it would be impossible for him to capture the Tower of Stars within three months.
You know, the Parliament of Truth spent more than two years, with continuous daily attacks, but still couldn't break the energy field of the Tower of Stars.
The defensive power of a standard small-scale maze-like protective energy field is simply incomparable to that of the copycat energy field of the Tower of Stars.
Like elemental pools, the protective energy fields of mystery locks are also divided into small, medium and large.
The higher the level, the stronger the defense, and naturally the higher the cost.
If possible, Sunan also wants to build a central maze-lock protective energy field.
However, the consumption of gold coins is secondary. The key is that some materials cannot be found on the Starlight Continent at all.
"Or you can consider synthesis."
Su Nan looked thoughtful.
If you lack the materials to build a medium-sized facility, you can simply obtain them by synthesizing small facilities.
However, this will inevitably increase costs significantly.
After all, according to past experience, the cost of synthetic products must be far higher than that of artificially made products.
After thinking for a moment, Sunan shook his head and put the idea aside for the time being. It would not be too late to think about this issue again when he actually started building it.
In terms of attack, it is further divided into ultra-long-range strike devices and dispatch legions.
The former are generally various energy weapons.
For example, the spell turret in the Tower of Stars.
The spell turret is the most basic energy weapon structure that can emit energy rays to attack specific targets. It is the most basic long-range strike device in the wizard tower.
Further up are the dissociation cannon, plasma cannon, pulse cannon, etc.
The power of the Disintegration Cannon is roughly equivalent to the sixth-level spell [Disintegration], which is enough to decompose a first-level wizard into the most basic molecular units.
Generally speaking, the Disintegration Cannon is already the final weapon sequence of a small wizard tower.
The plasma cannon and pulse cannon above them are the final weapon sequences of the medium and large wizard towers respectively.
As for floating cities, the attack devices are usually phase weapons, such as magic crystal superconducting pulse cannons.
"The spell turrets are OK against wizard apprentices, but they are a little weak against formal wizards, unless hundreds or thousands of spell turrets are used to concentrate their fire."
"It's best to use the magic cube to synthesize and increase the power of the spell turret."
"There are also disintegration cannons. We need to make a few of them as well."
Su Nan had something in mind.
As for the dispatched legion, it generally refers to the golem legion, but there are also other creatures.
For example, some wizard towers like to raise some biological populations, which can be dispatched to fight in battles.
Any creature that is stationed in a wizard tower for a long time and can leave the wizard tower to fight in times of war falls into this category.
However, the main force of most of the wizard tower dispatched legions are various golems, and they are medium and high-level golems.
Low-level golems such as the Flesh Golem, Clay Golem and Stone Golem are not even considered by official wizards. They are okay for doing odd jobs, but their effectiveness in battle is not as good as a few spell turrets.
The main force of the built-in golem legions of most wizard towers starts with iron golems.
As powerful as the Adamantite Golem is, it is just a regular troop in the wizard tower.
Only high-level golems like Shadowsteel Golem and Diamond Golem, which are capable of competing with wizards, can be considered high-level combat sequences.
However, the manufacturing cost of this type of golem is astronomical.
Su Nan didn’t know whether Starlight Continent could find all the materials to make Shadow Steel Golem and Diamond Golem.
If it really doesn't work, we can only create a golem of the same level through synthesis.
And above the Shadowsteel Golem and the Diamond Golem, there is the more advanced Supreme Golem.
The Supreme Golem is the original form of the fel construct.
The so-called magical constructs, also known as legendary construct life, include but are not limited to arcane guards, magical mechas, tower spirit constructs and Mithril Sages, etc.
Without exception, these legendary constructed life forms possessed super combat power comparable to that of a third-level wizard, and the powerful ones were even capable of confronting true spirit wizards head-on.
It's just that the cost is extremely high and few wizard towers can afford it, so it usually exists as a battle sequence of the floating city.
Although the Supreme Golem is not as strong as a real magical construct, it is much stronger than the Shadowsteel Golem and the Diamond Golem. Even if it is placed in a large wizard tower, it usually exists as the final battle sequence.
It is no problem for a supreme golem to kill more than ten first-level wizards in a head-on confrontation.
"The Golem Army?"
There was a thoughtful gleam in Su Nan's eyes.
If he were allowed to choose, he would definitely pay more attention to quality, and prefer quality over quantity.
The built-in golem army must start with platinum golems at least.
The main force is the Adamantite Golem, supplemented by a small number of golems of the same level as the Shadowsteel Golem.
But if this happens, the cost will certainly be staggering.
"At least problems that can be solved with gold coins are not a problem. You can save enough gold coins slowly. Materials cannot be created out of nothing."
Su Nan pondered silently.
In addition to the three major parts of energy supply, space planning and combat equipment, the tower spirit is also an important part of the wizard tower.
They are the top-level artificial intelligence, responsible for the integrated operation of the wizard tower, combining terminal calculations, data recording, combat command, experimental assistants, etc.
Generally speaking, a wizard tower must have at least one tower spirit.
But if the budget is sufficient, the more tower spirits the better.
The computing power of a single tower is limited, and sometimes assigning two or three large tasks will occupy the entire computing power of the tower.
The more tower spirits there are, the smoother and more comfortable the operation of the wizard tower will be.
Generally speaking, it is best to arrange three tower spirits in the wizard tower, who will be responsible for the wizard tower's combat command system, daily operations and experimental assistants respectively.
Tower spirit constructs, which are more advanced than tower spirits, can even transform into entities and assist wizards in battle.
To make a tower spirit, you need a legendary soul crystal.
This is not a problem for Sunan, as it can be synthesized through micro soul crystals.
In the previous war to conquer the underground world, he accumulated a huge number of soul crystals, which were more than enough to synthesize several legendary soul crystals.
"Now that we have accumulated a lot of materials, it's time to start building the wizard tower."
Su Nan stretched out his hand and touched it, and a panoramic three-dimensional model of Long Lin instantly appeared in the void.
Scanning the model, he began to choose a construction site.
Taking into account the problems of charging the clay golem and transporting materials, the best place to build the wizard tower is in the Dragon Forest.
The space channels throughout the underground world and the Starry Empire can transport various materials to the Dragon Forest at any time.
Finally, Sunan chose a large woodland in District 2 as the construction site.
Area 2 is vast, with high-level dragon races and large magic plant gardens occupying less than half of it. The rest is vacant and can be put to good use.
"Number 1, create the 'Build a Wizard Tower' task."
Sunan gave the order.
[Start entering the wizard tower design. Entered successfully. ]
[The 'Build a Wizard Tower' mission has been established. ]
【Please set the labor quantity. 】
"One thousand clay golems." Sunan said after thinking for a while.
This number of clay golems is enough, any more will only affect efficiency.
Moreover, so many clay golems are only needed when the base and the body of the tower are initially constructed. When the inner space is actually constructed, fewer clay golems will be needed, and a hundred or so will be enough.
Most of the layout and facilities inside the wizard tower can only be done by wizards themselves.
After all, clay golems cannot draw runes and magic circles.
This is the main reason why a wizard tower may take hundreds of years to build successfully.
Of course, you can also hire other wizards to help, or purchase facilities such as floating rings, spell turrets, and golem legions from other channels, which can greatly shorten the construction time.
It's just that few wizards would do this.
The wizard tower is the core secret of the wizards. Few wizards will let others interfere with the construction of the wizard tower. If someone leaves a backup plan, they may suffer a great loss one day.
Wizards would rather build the wizard tower themselves bit by bit than ask others to do it for them.
The construction of the base and the tower body is relatively simple and can be left to Butler No. 1. Sunan only needs to pay attention to the progress occasionally.
After arranging the tasks, he left the Dragon Skeleton Tower and returned to Youhu City.
The Red Widow sent a message three days ago, saying that the Russell family members had been captured and were being escorted to Youhu City.
Since the situation in the cities captured by the Star Empire in the Northwest Territory has not yet been completely stabilized, no space channels have been built. Many journeys can only be traveled by flying puppets, which takes some time.
Judging from the time, they should almost arrive at Youhu City.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Base No. 2 in Youhu City, Red Widow came to report to him.
"Master, the four third-level wizard apprentices of the Russell family, including the current patriarch, Falcardo Russell, are now in the reception room, guarded by Secret Dolls No. 1 and No. 2."
The Red Widow stood respectfully in front of the desk, slightly bowed, without any casualness or frivolity in front of others.
But when she looked at Su Nan, a gleam of fiery charm would occasionally flash across her eyes.
"Well done." Su Nan praised.
The Red Widow looked delighted and glanced at Carolina beside her without leaving a trace.
The latter's expression remained unchanged, but his hands placed in front of his abdomen clenched slightly.
Ignoring the little actions of his two subordinates, Su Nan walked straight outside.
In the living room.
Four wizard apprentices from the Russell family sat on the sofa, feeling quite restless, turning their heads to look at the entrance of the hall from time to time.
The two secret doll girls stood on both sides of the door with indifferent expressions, like door gods.
Fakado glanced at them with a complicated look.
On the way here, he did think about escaping, but on the one hand he couldn't escape from the two secret doll girls, and on the other hand he felt that there was no point in escaping.
The entire Starlight Continent is about to fall into the hands of the Star Empire and the Star Alliance. Even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will not be able to escape their sphere of influence.
Although it is not impossible to find a place to hide, but I can't live in seclusion forever, right?
Not to mention whether he can adapt or not, even if he can, due to the lack of resources, it will be difficult for him to continue to improve his strength in the future.
Is he just going to give up on becoming a wizard? Compared to death, Falkado has a harder time accepting this.
"Chief, why do you think that person wants to see us?"
A voice interrupted Fakado's thoughts.
He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Innocent Russell, the strongest third-level wizard apprentice in the family besides him.
Innocent had been injured in the previous battle and had not yet recovered, his face looking a little pale.
"I don't understand either." Fakado shook his head.
But in fact he had some vague guesses.
If there is anything else in the Russell family that could arouse the interest of a formal wizard, that's probably the only one.
But where did the other party know this secret? But in the entire Russell family, only the patriarch knew this secret.
Apart from this, not to mention outsiders, even family members knew nothing about it.
Just as he was wondering, Fakado suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and found that a figure had appeared in the hall.
A young man who looks to be in his early twenties at most.
His appearance can be described as handsome, but what is more eye-catching is his eyes, as deep and mysterious as the starry sky. Just by looking into each other's eyes, you'd have the illusion that your soul would be sucked in.
Almost instantly, Fakado knew the identity of the person in front of him.
The ruler of the Star Alliance! The only wizard in the Starlight Continent in a thousand years! Sunan Yanest!
