Chapter 173
They watched the magic power from the leylines being extracted by the magic pump.

The magic power of various colors is completely classified and poured into the huge magic power storage tank.

After the magic power is stored in the storage tank, a progress bar lights up on the originally pure black black crystal at the bottom of the one-person-high area.

[Magic storage tank: 13% (259809)]

With 25 magic power, a fully powerful rainbow light cannon needs to consume 10 magic power, which is amazing.

Relying solely on the supplement of magic power crystals and deep gems, the consumption was so huge that Changmian Town could not bear it.

With the magic power storage tank, all the excess magic power in the leylines will be stored to avoid loss.

This may cause some future troubles, but when the troubles arise, they already have the ability to solve them.

Changmian Town became lively.

……

Ian returned to the chairman's room and felt the hot atmosphere outside.

"Everyone is so excited... Is it because the monster's level cap is fixed?"

In the Eternal Sleep Town area, the level of monsters is in a semi-random state.

Adventurers and hunters have no idea what level of monsters they will encounter.

After the magic control is completed, the monsters have an upper limit.

This means that as long as the adventurers improve beyond a certain level, they are invincible here.

Brandon is helping Ian sort out the information.

After hearing what Ian said, he laughed dryly:
"It may be that the effects of the mages' creations are too exaggerated, and they are regarded as miracles by them."

No matter how you put it, it is too exaggerated to say that it is easy to fix the upper limit of the range of ten thousand miles.

"There is doubt about the range. If you want to control a certain range of magic power, you have to build a long magic power pipeline..."

Brandon recorded the progress of the current magic control on the map:
"After the magic pipeline is completed, a protective wall has to be built to protect them from being destroyed by monsters."

After hearing this, Ian had a question in his heart:
"Can't the magic pipeline be buried underground?"

Brandon shook his head:
"There are also a lot of monsters underground. When they find magic power in the magic power pipeline, they will find a way to destroy it."

"Not only can't magic pipes be buried underground, they can't even touch the ground."

To expand the scope of magic control, the workload is quite huge.

Is that so?
Ian thought about letting a group of living crystal puppets carry various cement sand bags, put them at the destination first, and then hand them over to the construction team for construction.

A simple set of procedures can save a considerable amount of manpower out of thin air.

Reality punch also came to an end.

Just as the living crystal puppet was holding the phantom star breaker, wielding a pickaxe to mine hard, and was about to collect the reality cube.

There was a problem on the other side.

"President!"

Arya found Ian nervously and pulled him to the magic control area.

Here, nearly a hundred mages all looked serious.

It was as if something bad had happened.

"What's wrong?" Ian asked.

Could it be that the experiment failed?

He glanced at the magic power storage tank, which was still storing magic power, and the magic power coordinator was also running.

It seems that there is no problem.

"President... Just now, we made a terrible discovery."

The mage in white robe passed on the data displayed by the magic coordinator to Ian:

"Under the ground of Changmian Town, there seems to be something incredible hiding..."

"They may be monsters, they are hidden very deep, [-] meters underground in Changmian Town."

"A lot of magic power was detected to disappear abnormally before being extracted by the magic power pump."

"So, we investigated deeply and found traces of those monsters."

Are there monsters underground in Changmian Town?

Ian was the first to wonder if it was the Starlight Plague.

He checked the magic wavelength of the monster, and the monitor reflected a completely different signal.

This is not like the star virus, nor is it any kind of monster known so far.

What would it be?
"Ten thousand meters underground?" Ian asked.

The mage nodded: "Yes, we must stop them, otherwise nearly 50% of the magic power will disappear out of thin air."

"This is a terrible attrition, what's even more terrifying... If the magic power will give birth to dangerous monsters..."

"Our regional magic control project is tantamount to feeding our enemies."

After the magic power control project was launched, the benefits of Changmian Town have been realized.

The balance between regions is comparable to the magic power of endless energy, and the magic power storage tank is rising day by day.

But it was this efficient use of magic power that made them discover the abnormality.

Underground monsters!
……

"What... Are there monsters underground?"

The Red Dragon patriarch came to Changmian Town and has not left yet.

The main purpose of his coming was to find inspiration for the laws of the Dragon Clan.

According to him, the minds of the ancient dragons were empty, and they couldn't think of how the law should bind them.

Moreover, the imbalance between the elements of the four-color dragon is very similar to the imbalance in the magic power of Changmian Town in terms of underlying reasons.

Unexpectedly, before the problem of the giant dragon was solved, the hidden dangers of Changmian Town were exposed first.

"Underground monsters, since they must be dealt with, I happen to be here, and I can help you."

The leader of the Red Dragon Patriarch takes the lead.

He is very strong and has few opponents on the mainland.

Ian started the excavation work, and the collection of reality cubes was also going on at the same time, and it was coming to an end.

"Send living crystal puppets and let them move out the deep shaft mining machine!"

deep mine,

Ian got this thing a long time ago, it was the mining machine captured by the Interstellar Pirates.

It can mine deep into the planet's core and dig a pit with a depth of [-] meters, which is really simple.

50 meters long and 8 meters wide, the giant square-shaped mining machine was lifted up by [-] living crystal puppets and placed in front of everyone.

boom!
Although the living crystal puppets moved very lightly, when the mining machine came into contact with the ground, it still made a loud noise.

The nearby rubble was shaken into the air, and people felt the ground tremble.

'If you want to activate the deep shaft mining machine on the technology side, you need to consume a certain amount of energy...'

能源
It can be regarded as the electricity consumed by the space age, and Ian's civilization cannot have this thing.

There are space-age researchers on the moon base, though.

Ian teleported over and asked the research manager Osman.

"Want to get a batch of energy now?"

Hearing Ian's request, Osman thought about it:
"There are many types of energy on the technology side. What I know is constant energy, which mainly comes from advanced solar energy..."

"Of course, it is also feasible to convert matter into energy through proportional conversion."

"I need to build an energy battery storage, as well as a material refiner. Fortunately, I understand this knowledge."

Osman surprises Ian.

He actually knows part of the second stage technology on the technology side!
"Don't look at me with such strange eyes, President."

Osman shook his head helplessly: "I come from a civilization in the space age. For me, these things are like rubbing a potato battery with my hands. It's not difficult."

awesome!

Ian nodded and asked Osman to complete this task first.

Osman really has his ability to become the manager of the moon base!
The researchers at the moon base became active. They let the living crystal puppets carry materials and replace manual laborers in factories.

I am researching energy technology, and Osman is in charge.

three hours later.

The first experimental material refiner with a length and width of 5 meters and a white body was completed.

There is also a batch of [-]-meter waterproof cables, which can easily connect the material refiner and the deep shaft mining machine.

Energy is the only thing needed to run a deep shaft mining machine.

The energy comes from the material refiner, and when biomass is put into it, it can be converted into energy proportionally.

Ian returned to Eversleeping Town.

The living crystal puppets put down the material refiner and energy battery accordingly.

The researchers on the technology side controlled the refining machine, changed it to the refined energy and outflow mode, together with the waterproof cable.

"That's all right, President."

Osman called Ian the president in the same tone as the rest of the town and others.

"Throw the raw meat, vegetables, or wood currently stored in Changmian Town into the refining machine, and it will immediately work under the conditions that satisfy the machine's operation."

The material refiner also needs to consume energy, but it can generate electricity itself, so it acts as a part of the generator.

In addition,

Compared to a real Biomass Generator, or any other generator, the Substance Refiner is slightly less efficient.

It just generates electricity on a part-time basis to meet its own operational needs.

Under the nervous eyes of Changmian Town and the others.

Ian activated the mining machine and looked at the five-meter-diameter drill bit, piercing the earth's crust and digging deep underground.

A dark circular hollow slowly appeared directly under the machine.

"Can the future simply fill the void?"

The mage in Eversleeping Town asked Ian.

Uthman answered in his stead:

"Don't worry, the mining machine itself will compress and retain the gravel, you only need to put it in again, and the loss will not exceed 10%."

Digging a [-]-meter deep pit requires not only digging, but also a series of protective preparations.

The first thing to be put into use is the new employee living crystal puppet.

They are puppets with no needs, no emotions, and no fatigue.

At the same time, they are perfectly capable of performing most tasks, including investigations into deep mines.

The living crystal puppet carried a monitor and plunged into the straight mine.

On the ground, a large monitor monitors the situation inside through the miner's cap installed on the head of the living crystal puppet.

zizi——

The picture is slightly blurred, with some black and white pixels appearing.

The researcher on the technology side frowned slightly: "Due to the interference of some kind of electromagnetic field, the monitoring screen is distorted."

Is that so?
Ian opened the sequence system and found the ability bar of the adventure leader.

After drinking a bottle of backflow elixir, the skill CD is reset immediately.

【President Act: Ore Collection】

[Effect: Mining speed +50%, collection volume +20%, signal strength +200%, miner units gain half-night vision.lasts for a week. 】

The magic on the mysterious side immediately affects all targets in the guild, including the deep shaft mining machine and the living crystal puppets.

The original blurry picture instantly becomes 4K high-definition, and the colors are more vivid.

The dark area suddenly lit up, and although it was still dark there, the normal picture was analyzed by the monitor.

Everyone realized that this was Ian's ability.

"it is good……"

The researcher on the technology side let out a long breath after saying a few good words:

"It's amazing! The effect of magic is so strong!"

"Do not."

The mages shook their heads: "What is strong is not magic, but the ability of the president. We don't know what magnetic field interference is, let alone solve it."

What seems normal to them may be abnormal to the technological side.

This gap will lead to inconvenient communication, and the cooperation will remain on the surface. If Ian is not there, they will even have communication problems.

Osman, the manager of the moon base, was amazed when he heard the words of the mages.

He looked at Ian's back reverently.

Not magic, not technology.

What kind of ability does Ian have to combine the technological side with the mysterious side?
He didn't understand.

The deep mine machine goes 2000 meters deep into the ground.

3000 meters... 5000 meters...

As the mining drill bit of the mining machine went deeper, some purple crystals also appeared on the monitor.

"It's a deep mine!"

Arya exclaimed, and immediately realized:

"Yes... the underground monsters will steal our magic power, and a large amount of magic power will gather in turbulent flow, which will naturally turn the stones in a certain area into deep mines."

Only enough mana is needed to create ores of any mystic side.

It is also very normal for some precious deep mines to appear.

However, for the people of Changmian Town, this is not a good thing.

"Tsk..."

The faces of the mages turned black: "Is the magic power enough to form a deep vein?"

"How many monsters have been stolen by those monsters in the underground? We found out too late!"

Possessing such a terrifying magic-absorbing ability makes everyone's hair stand on end.

too fast.

Perhaps the monsters are very powerful, and after absorbing enough magic power, they can return to their heyday.

If it is a monster from the previous era... can they really defeat it?

Minerals go down to 7000 meters.

With the addition of Ian's President Act, the monitor on the living crystal puppet's head is full of signals along the way.

Starting from 6000 meters underground, large areas of deep mines appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The researchers on the science and technology side are very fascinated by this purple ore.

"it's beautiful……"

Osman sighed.

"Those ores are the crystallization of magic power, and they will quickly dissolve when they leave the mysterious side environment, and eventually turn into nothingness."

Ian said, dismissing Osman's idea.

No need to guess, this group of scientific madmen must be planning to analyze the deep mine.

But it doesn't need to be so troublesome. First of all, Changmian Town already has a liquid magic power storage tank. It only needs to be infused with magic power to artificially manufacture deep gems.

The deep gems of the second stage are both precious and not so precious.

It is like the first flame in human civilization. Human beings will study more uses of flame, instead of staying at the stage of drilling wood to make fire.

"It looks like a complete trace of nature."

The mages used various magic crystal balls to observe the environment 7000 meters underground.

Compared with monitoring, they can directly use magic to remotely control an object similar to a messenger to replace their own appearance.

Only need to move the position of the courier, they can wander around in the mine, it can be said to be very flexible.

"President, the magic power in the area is declining rapidly."

Arya monitored the problem of magic power: "Now the liquid magic power storage tank can no longer get the magic power of the earth veins!"

Something is wrong.

To put it simply, the magic power originally drawn by the magic power pump did not flow to the magic power network, but was stolen by the monster.

With so much magic power, I am afraid that the monsters will undergo earth-shaking changes, which is something Ian absolutely does not want to see.

"Continue to go deeper!"

Ian ordered: "Reality punching is about to be done, and we're going to have new problems."

"Before that, the underground monsters must be dealt with as soon as possible."

Fortunately, there are many combat units in Changmian Town.

Whether it's a high-level mage group, or ice spirits and giant dragons.

They are all powerful fighters and are waiting nearby.

In this battle, Ian will use the top combat power of civilization.

A monster that hides thousands of meters underground and devours magic power.

The dragons were also very nervous, and they didn't have the concept of this level of enemies in their minds.

Can they really fight, will they lose?

collapse!
The deep well mining machine penetrated the crypt, [-] meters underground, and got through!

A beam of light shines into the beautiful deep mine, and all the stones on the first floor are transformed into deep mines.

in the dark.

A group of scorpion-like monsters opened their eyes, and the number exceeded ten thousand!

Densely packed.

They first noticed the vibration of the formation, and something was breaking through the formation and heading towards them.

In order to protect themselves, they speed up the speed of devouring magic power.

The deep mine in the inner layer of the stone wall is the residue left by their crazy eating.

"Good guy."

Oldman felt his scalp tingling:
"This... what kind of monster is this, how should we fight?"

The deep well mining machine has pierced a hole, and tens of thousands of monsters will rush out of the ground, and something is wrong with them.

"Scorpions that devour magic power are not recorded in history, President, what should we call them?"

Arya reported calmly.

Ian looked at the monitor.

The whole body is purple, 50 meters long, and the whole body is covered with a hard carapace.

"Amethyst scorpion."

He simply named the monster according to its appearance.

The moment the amethyst scorpions were exposed to the light, they all rioted.

They are of high rank and, due to their long history, are more powerful than dragons.

Monsters of this level made everyone in Changmian Town panic.

The mages checked the monsters through magic, and their faces suddenly turned pale:

"The magic power content...extremely high...almost substantive!"

The magical power possessed by the group of monsters has surpassed that of the deep mine, which also means that they are very difficult to kill.

A purple light shot out from the tail of an amethyst scorpion.

boom!
A living crystal puppet was hit on the spot and disintegrated into fragments all over the place.

It is a level 30 silver sequence meat shield, even if it has no attack ability, its health is very exaggerated!

And such a living crystal puppet, under the attack of the Amethyst scorpion, couldn't survive a single move.

The amethyst scorpion bit the rocks and expanded the hole, intending to invade the ground.

The dragons immediately released all kinds of magic.

Wind blades, fire pillars, and chaotic magic attacks broke into the mine, attacking those amethyst scorpions.
