Chapter 196: Mage Tower Completion and Plane Development Plan
At this point, Li Qing finally became an official war lord.
Theoretically, he could return to the Eternal Tree now, and then hang his own divine domain on the Eternal Tree to become a leaf.
But theory is theory, and he certainly wouldn't do that now.
The leaves on the Eternal Divine Tree are all war lords who are old, or whose home planes have been breached by the enemy and have no future, or who have encountered problems in some unexpected divine domains.
Since their future is hopeless, they will choose to return to the Eternal Tree to fix the divine domain and become a leaf of the Eternal Tree.
When you have nothing to do, you can farm in the divine realm to earn some income, or expand your family.
After being promoted to an official war lord, Li Qing immediately took out a piece of pure original soul essence that he had possessed a long time ago. He had dealt with this thing long ago. He performed a construct awakening spell to awaken the soul essence, and then infused it with a series of tower spirit-related information to create a mage tower spirit.
When the essence was integrated into the core magic array of the Mage Tower, the entire Mage Tower vibrated slightly, and energy surged out of the energy pool at the bottom, spreading upward along the complex magic array patterns.
It quickly spread to the top of the tower, and right under Li Qing's eyes, countless rays of light gathered at the core of the Mage Tower. The spirit lit up, and a mental wave spread along the magic circle to the entire Mage Tower.
In this way, the Mage Tower Spirit and the Mage Tower combined, and a will was born.
Countless threads of light gathered in the air and condensed into a ball of light. A mechanical voice sounded in Li Qing's ears:
"Dear master, Ta Ling is at your service!"
Li Qing nodded and said:
"Open the Mage Tower!"
The mechanical voice sounded again:
"Now I will open the Mage Tower for you, 3...2...1..."
At the same time, a mage tower model outlined by light appeared in front of Li Qing.
The tower is 200 meters in diameter and 2,000 meters high. The outer layer is cast in steel and has a buried gold frame.
The 2,000-meter tower has 200 floors, each ten meters high.
180 floors on the surface and 20 floors underground.
As the Mage Tower was activated, the golden divine power in the energy pool at the bottom of the Mage Tower boiled in an instant, and was transformed into pure mana energy by the magic array inside the Mage Tower and flowed through all the magic arrays in the Mage Tower, and each magic array was activated.
There are soundproofing arrays, no-fly arrays, mind-confinement arrays, mind-barrier arrays, and true-vision arrays inside.
Internal defense array *3.
A solid magic circle attached to the tower.
4 defensive barriers on the tower surface.
Outer defensive barrier of the Mage Tower＊4.
Various defensive arrays are almost fully deployed, and all forms of all-round defense are available, which can guarantee the absolute defense of the mage tower and make it impossible to sneak in by any means.
Li Qing divided the Mage Tower into different areas.
Floors 1 to 9 on the ground are public floors and are accessible to outsiders.
Floors 10 to 19 are reception floors and guest living areas.
Floors 20-39 are the apprentice areas, if there are apprentices.
Floors 40 to 79 are experimental areas.
The floors above 80 are to be determined.
Above the 150th floor is the tower owner's private area.
There are 20 underground floors.
The -1st floor to -5th floor is the miscellaneous area.
The negative 6th to negative 10th floors are the prison areas.
Below the negative 11th floor is the energy zone.
There are ten different energy pools on the tenth floor of the energy zone, each equipped with a different type of energy.
There are conventional elemental energy pools such as earth, fire, wind and water, as well as pools for storing void energy, life energy pools for extracting vitality and storing it, divine power pools specifically for storing divine power, and some special energy pools.
As the master of the Mage Tower, Li Qing can control the entire Mage Tower through the tower spirit at any time and know the situation of the mages inside and outside.
Many things can be done through the Mage Tower.
In addition, spells cast through the Mage Tower will not only gain the bonus of the Mage Tower, but also the bonus of the Divine Realm at the same time. The two can be perfectly superimposed.
With the help of the Mage Tower and the Divine Domain, Li Qing can now sit at home and confront a legendary mage head-on.
Note that you should use the mage system to fight back, not transform.
The Nine-Ring Spell is doubly superimposed, and with his own talent added, its power is definitely not inferior to that of a legendary spell.
Unfortunately, there are no enemies now, so he has no chance to try out the power of the mage tower.
And there is a high probability that there will be no chance.
If he wants to use the power of the Mage Tower to fight, he has to expand the divine domain. Now he has two strong cities, Savage City and Dragon City , so he doesn't need to expand the divine domain.
After counting these, Li Qing immediately dispatched a thousand third-level soldiers to the Thousand Army Trial Field.
Five hundred Imperial infantry, five hundred Imperial archers.
It only took them about four hours to kill the enemies in the trial field, and after coming out, all of them were able to be promoted to the fourth-level military type.
There is no such thing as death in battle in the trial field. Once you are seriously injured, you will be healed by the energy of the trial field.
It opens once a month, and each trial involves one thousand troops.
Based on the lowest promotion to the second-level troops, theoretically it only takes three times to promote a first-level recruit to a fourth-level heavy infantryman.
This means that it only takes three months to upgrade a thousand recruits to a thousand level 4 heavy infantry.
Four batches a year, that's 4,000 heavy infantry.
"very good, very powerful!"
After coming out of the divine realm, Li Qing summoned many heroes under his command to go to the divine realm for a meeting.
When everyone, including Zhuo Shaohang, gathered, Li Qing directly showed them the three special abilities after the promotion of the Divine Realm. Everyone was extremely shocked. Xie Zhu said loudly:
"Boss, isn't this Overlord Trial a legendary road?"
"This is so awesome, the first place in the summer camp is actually rewarded with something like this?"
Li Qing smiled and nodded:
"So you guys have to work harder and accumulate enough combat experience as soon as possible."
An Erqiu smiled and said:
"It's you who should be the one to cheer up, Boss. Our rank limit is equal to yours. If you don't advance to Legendary level, we can't advance to Legendary level either."
"Yeah, boss, you have to work harder!"
Everyone laughed, and the conference room was filled with happy laughter.
Li Qing smiled and waved his hand:
"That's not a big problem. I will try to accumulate enough combat experience within five years and become a legend."
"Of course, if we are lucky, maybe we can get it done in two or three years."
"Let's get back to business."
Li Qing knocked on the table to let everyone look over, and said in a deep voice:
"We have defeated all opponents and officially seized this plane, but we cannot completely own this plane. We still need to develop this plane and make use of its resources."
"Considering that this plane is not suitable for immigration, we can only mine, plant some magical herbs, and various cash crops."
"I plan to develop eastwards to Dragon City with Savage City as the core. The first step is to develop this area."
"Xie Zhu, take some of the boys out to explore this area, look for mineral deposits, and find suitable places to grow cash crops and magical herbs."
Xie Zhu immediately nodded in agreement.
Then Li Qing looked at Long Shou and Long Fa and ordered:
"Long Shou Long Fa, each of you will take fifty brothers to eliminate the powerful beasts in this area, and open a path out. I will send you the specific route later."
"That's all for now. I'll announce the next steps once we're done."
As for An Erqiu, he naturally stayed in the Savage City, because Li Qing was not idle and he also had things to do.
He had to build a road, a road that covered more than a thousand kilometers from Savage City to Dragon City, and then extended to the left and right, with a total length of at least 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers, radiating to an area of tens of millions of square kilometers.
Li Qing did not want the simple development that His Highness Chunyu An had done before, but wanted to completely rule this area.
He would use the space in his palm to combine components and place a giant arrow tower that was 20 meters long, wide and 50 meters high on the main avenue every 10 kilometers or so. There would be no garrison inside, but it was mainly a place for passing travelers to escape and take refuge if they encountered the enemy.
Every 100 kilometers or so, a small outpost with a length and width of about 100 meters is set up on the side of the road, with a small number of troops stationed inside.
Every 1,000 kilometers, there is a large city with a large garrison.
The above is the defense of the main roads. Li Qing also plans to send a large number of space dragons to patrol these main roads to scare away ferocious beasts in the wild.
If a powerful creature like a dragon passes through certain places for a long time, these places will be contaminated with the dragon's scent, and some weak animals will run away when they smell the scent.
As for outside the main roads, the strongholds are not so dense.
In addition to some resource points that will definitely have small strongholds or outposts, there are generally only some key intersections in the wild where there are strongholds and outposts.
Unfortunately, the place is too large. Li Qing had even thought about manually building stone walls that are 20 meters wide and thick and 1,000 meters long to replace the dirt road.
Two such wide stone walls are side by side, the road is 40 meters wide and 20 meters above the ground. It is both a safe avenue and a super city wall.
Then use this super road to enclose areas one by one, and then slowly kill the ferocious beasts inside, clearing out safe areas of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
Unfortunately, the project was too large and required too much material, and he did not have that much soil and stone.
But the problem won't be too big. If you can't fix it right away, you can fix it slowly later.
It just so happened that he was planning to dig a large lake of several hundred square kilometers near the Savage City to store water, which would provide him with enough soil and stones.
Li Qing's current idea is to survive in this plane for another 20 to 30 years, accumulate six or seven hundred giant dragons, hundreds of thousands of space dragon descendants, and train another 200,000 to 300,000 elite troops. Only when he is confident enough to fight against the Sons of Destiny, will he go to the main plane.
It can be expected that by the time he goes to the main plane, many of the Sons of Destiny will have already been unsealed and deified.
With their background, once they are deified, they can use the power that was originally sealed in the divine realm like Gu Qingxin. Their strength will become extremely powerful. If they are not fully prepared, they will be beaten back in minutes.
Especially Murong Shifang, who has a grudge against him, will never let him go easily if he has the chance.
Building this defense system is time-consuming and he has to do it himself.
He transformed into a half-dragon man over fifty meters tall, and with his huge claws he dug up a pile of dirt, which he easily put into the space in his palm.
With him were dozens of space dragons, hundreds of space dragonborn, six diamond golems and hundreds of steel golems.
The space dragon was responsible for air surveillance of the surroundings, the iron golems were responsible for clearing the way, half of them were holding swords to cut down the trees on the road, and the other half were holding hammers to smash the original stones on the roadside.
Li Qing wanted to widen the road along the Savage City in preparation for paving it with stone.
The task of the Space Dragonborn is to tidy up the road surface, clear out the weeds that the Iron Golems cannot cut, and then fill the road with a thick layer of gravel.
The last few diamond golems pushed a specially made oversized and overweight steel roller to flatten the road surface back and forth.
Because there are more than 20 centimeters of gravel on the road surface, the flattened road surface is both flat and solid, and grass will not grow for many years.
Next time you want to pave a super stone road, you can just place two stone walls on top without having to dig an additional foundation.
Most of the time every day was spent paving the road, but the main work was done by his subordinates. Li Qing was mainly responsible for the final step, which was to combine the collected gravel and soil into an arrow tower and place it in the prepared location.
Time passed slowly, and before he knew it, half a year had passed and he had already constructed a distance of five or six thousand kilometers .
Countless arrow towers were put down, dozens of outposts and five regional central cities were built.
Now the city only has a garrison, a small number of merchants and adventurers.
"Hello, City Lord Li!"
A caravan came from the west along the repaired road, led by an ankylosaur beast with a dozen fully armed warriors and several merchants in plain clothes sitting on the big saddle on its back.
The leading merchant loudly greeted Li Qing who was resting on the sentry tower that had just been lowered.
Li Qing opened his eyes and waved in response.
The merchant took out a large pot from behind the saddle and threw it to Li Qing. He reached out to catch it and shook it gently. It seemed to be some wine.
After smelling the fragrance and taking another bite, Li Qing smiled and said:
"Thank you!"
The businessman cupped his hands and replied with a smile:
"I heard that the city lord has a special manufacturing skill. The wheels of two of my cars broke during the journey. I wonder if the city lord can help repair them."
Li Qing glanced behind him and said with a smile:
"It's just a small matter. Wait."
He invested his consciousness in the space in his palm, found some trees, decomposed them, and synthesized them. He also added some steel to make the main frame and bearings, and then he made a new car that was exactly the same as their truck. He made five in one go.
He pointed his finger, and a vortex opened up in the middle of the road, and five identical new cars landed in front of them.
"Oh my god, this is awesome!"
The guards and merchants on the ankylosaur jumped off their saddles, looked around the new car in surprise, and gave Li Qing a thumbs-up.
The merchants immediately changed cars, and Li Qing asked a dozen space dragons to help. Their huge strength could easily lift the heavy goods.
After moving the goods and changing cars, the merchant thanked many people before getting back on the road.
"The new Lord of Dragon City is much stronger than the previous Yi Zhengyuan!"
The merchant sat on the ankylosaur saddle and looked back from time to time, sighing:
"In the past, Yi Zhengyuan would never have been so diligent in repairing the road and building so many outposts. It's too extravagant to have a giant dragon patrolling every section of the road."
The captain of the guard wearing half armor nodded and said:
"Indeed, we are much stronger now than before. From Savage City to here, which is more than 5,000 kilometers away, we have not had a serious battle. In the past, we had to fight at least 20 or 30 times to get here, and every time, brothers were injured or even killed in battle."
The businessman said:
"If all the roads are repaired and connected, at least the safety of this area will be sufficiently guaranteed, and more merchants will be attracted here."
"It's a pity that this plane cannot be immigrated . Otherwise, according to the ability of Lord Long, it would be developed in less than a hundred years."
"If a large plane can be developed and expanded, it will not be a problem to support more than a billion people. That would be amazing."
"pity!"
Of course Li Qing had no idea what they were regretting. At this moment, he had rested well and had gone back to the Divine Realm Mage Tower, ready to continue his previous research.
He hasn't been staying outside every day for the past six months.
With so many subordinates, it is impossible for him to do everything himself. He only needs to stay with the team, let his subordinates do the main work, and he will synthesize the materials in the end.
