Broad World

"Interestingly, except for the small population, the floating city in the era of Netheril is almost the same as the modern city on earth. By having the Mysera core that can draw energy from the magic net infinitely, the casters no longer It takes energy and constant spells. Even apprentices can leapfrog to create something powerful, provided that as long as they don’t leave the core of Misera for 1.5 kilometers. Magic lamps, water works, sewage pipes leading to alien planes, flying Control, it’s hard to imagine that these are things that existed thousands of years ago..."

Henry murmured while flipping through the thick notes. The deeper he understands, the more he can understand why Lawalk always seems so proud and proud when he mentions the past.

The greatness of the Netheril civilization lies in the comprehensiveness of the application of magic. This is a technology system that is completely different from earth technology, but also benefits many people.

According to the design drawings of the floating city recorded by the wizard king, ordinary people living in the floating city can enjoy 24 hours of hot and cold water, similar to the magic lamp of the induction lamp, and the stove from the plane of fire. The carpets flying in the sky, all kinds of extremely cheap quasi-magic items are full of the bits and pieces of life, and even the physical work is done by the golem guarding the city.

What a happy life!

There are no beggars, homeless people, and no bandits. As long as you abide by the laws enacted by the great arcanes, you can get free food even if you don't work. In this regard, even the so-called developed countries on the earth cannot do it.

Close the page gently, Henry rubbed his brows with a wry smile. Although the floating city designed by Lavoke is almost perfect, he is not prepared to copy all of them. There is even a drastic reduction in the civilian part. Otherwise, it would be a waste of energy.

After all, he didn't have a Mysera core in his hand. So just keep the lighting system and the tap water system. As for the cooking stove, it is more cost-effective to ferment the garbage produced in the city into biogas. Anyway, there is no industrial garbage that cannot be decomposed.

Finally, and most importantly, guarding power. According to the current technology, there are two options. One is to create traditional golems. The advantages are strong and durable, strong magic resistance, and able to understand more and more complex commands. As for the shortcomings... it is expensive to build, and each one needs to pay a lot of experience points. It is estimated that at least millions have to be drawn.

The second option is to assume an energy transmission device in the city based on the technology of the dimensional sphere, so that a large number of simple steel golems can be manufactured in the coverage area. Although they can only execute a few commands, they win The price is cheap, even if tens of thousands of them are manufactured, it is not a problem.

"Cheap and performance... It's really a difficult choice..." Henry shook his head with a wry smile.

Undoubtedly, with his current financial resources, he chose the first one, and even the cheapest golem would be ruined. Therefore, the first and second options were mixed to become the best solution. But the question at the moment is how to match this ratio to maximize combat effectiveness.

At this very tangled moment, a portal suddenly appeared in the air of the study. Following a golden skull appeared in the same place, it was the demi-lich Kangus.

Without saying a word, Henry used the wizard's hand to tighten the curtains. He locked the door behind him, frowning and asked: "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the mine?"

"Yes, Master, you'd better go over and check it yourself. We seem to have dug up an incredible thing. As soon as it appeared, all the golems and undead creatures were completely out of control. Even I didn't dare to get too close." Congers said very excitedly.

"Oh? Tell me carefully what is going on!" Henry did not rush over, but crossed his hands and dragged his chin to listen to his report.

Since the demilich said last time that the lower the mining area, the higher the content of uranium elements, he felt that something was wrong. Normally, although the quality of the ore in a place will vary, it will never exceed 10%.

However, the quality gap of the only uranium ore discovered in Faerun Continent has reached hundreds of times, especially the enriched uranium extracted in the last month has exceeded ten times that of the previous period.

You must know that this is not how much the mining volume has increased, but the quality of the ore has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even a very high concentration of silver particles can be found in some ore samples, which is almost impossible from a geological point of view of.

Kangos tried his best to calm his emotions and explained in a slightly hoarse voice: "This morning, I went to the depths of the mine to check the progress of the mining as before, but when I approached the bottom, I suddenly found that there was very high radiation inside. , Even the energy transmission system of the Golem has been disturbed."

"It's impossible!" Henry could no longer maintain his composure, and stood up directly from his chair.

The energy transmission system is a magical wireless power supply technology based on the principle of the Truss coil. In addition, the distance is not far. In theory, even the strongest nuclear (radiation) radiation cannot cause any interference, unless it is a A neutron (bullet) bomb has just detonated within a range of one hundred meters.

Could such a strong radiation source exist in nature?

There is no doubt that it is impossible, unless it is a flaming star, such as the sun. Otherwise, no matter how violent the crustal movement, no matter how high temperature and heat in the depths of the earth, in theory, it would never be possible to have a similar situation.

"But it did happen, Master." Conges whispered helplessly. "Seeing that the golem could not be used, I controlled the undead to continue digging, trying to see what was inside. Just half an hour ago, I finally saw the most terrifying thing, a beating heart. Its source. Continuously releasing deadly radiation, even the undead were affected and began to shake frantically, turning into a pool of powder within a few seconds."

"You mean...These uranium mines are all made from that heart?!!!" Henry asked loudly with an unconcealable shock on his face.

Congers nodded slightly: "Yes, I have checked the surrounding geology with blessings of protection. The entire mining area is formed with this heart as a radius. It is unimaginable power. I don't even dare to get too close. Otherwise, the same is true. Will be fatally injured."

After listening to this sentence. Henry couldn't help taking a breath: "What kind of creature's heart is it? The most important thing is that it is still alive?"

He did not dare to imagine how much harm such a terrifying radiation source would cause if it were still alive. Just walking around would be enough to kill 99% of the flora and fauna on the Faerun continent, whether it is land or sea. It will become a dead place, with the exception of a handful of high-level spellcasters, even legendary fighters will not be spared.

"The age is too old, at least 100,000 years ago. It is hard to infer that blue diamond dragons, plutonium dragons, and some terrifying creatures containing similar substances in the multiverse are all possible. But please rest assured. This one Although the heart is still beating, it has actually crystallized and has no vitality at all." Kangs said his judgment.

As a well-informed demi-lich who has explored countless planes, he is also the first time he has seen such a shocking thing with his own eyes, which is even more exciting than encountering gods in the astral world.

"In that case, let's go. I can't wait to see the heart left behind by this powerful life form." As Henry quickly displayed the seven-level "precision teleportation", he came from the study room in the blink of an eye. The bottom of the mine. Two seconds later, Congers also appeared not far away.

Unlike the non-stop work of the golem and the undead when we came to check the operation of the micro nuclear power plant last time, all the golems stood motionless at this moment. Invisible electromagnetic waves in the air disrupted wireless power transmission devices, and some steels even became severely magnetized.

Without any hesitation. Henry directly used two magic protections, and also drank a bottle of anti-radiation potion. It is necessary to know that the intensity of the radiation emitted from the depths of the mine has already exceeded the warning line. Even if a dragon comes, it will die within half a minute, which is more terrifying than any known poison in the world.

Congers also didn't dare to be careless, he also blessed himself with protection, and then said: "Master, please come with me, the position of the heart is here."

Due to the devastating mining, a very complicated passage has been formed inside the mine. The endless fork roads are enough to trap any intruder in it, not to mention the invisible high-energy radiation surrounding killing people.

As he got deeper and deeper, Henry actually saw a flash of bright light in the air in some very high-intensity places.

This is a phenomenon in which the intensity of radiation increases rapidly and then rapidly decays. It is called a "gamma-ray burst" on the earth, and it is known as the most violent explosion in the universe. In theory, it is only after the enrichment explosion when the huge stars are exhausted. Will occur, but at this moment it appears out of thin air in the cave.

Unimaginable high energy, the magic protection on his body even began to shake slightly, obviously a little unsupportable, especially when the strong light flashed by, the magic net began to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

Henry can guarantee that if the protection on his body disappears, it will only take a second to turn into a pool of bones, and 90% of the magical items on his body will be completely destroyed, even if it is of the legendary level.

"Master, you see, it's the heart. We can't get close anymore, otherwise even the legendary protection spell won't last a few seconds." Congers said to the end of the mine~www.ltnovel.com~ Follow him In the direction of his eyes, Henry saw a crystal heart exuding colorful lights. Only a small part was excavated. It should be six to eight meters in length if all were dug out visually, and the fractures of the blood vessels were always expanded one by one, as if they were beating.

Obviously, all the radiation comes from here. It is it that stimulates the surrounding rocks all the time and continuously produces uranium. To a certain extent, this is a natural and endless source of energy, even if it is dense. The Sera's nucleus cannot be compared with it.

After all, the latter relies heavily on the magic net, but the former can generate energy by itself, one is an extraction device, and the other is a perpetual motion machine, which is not on the same level...
