Super Floating City

Night fell.

Stephen stood on the balcony at the top of the tower and looked down at the entire Alantyr. This dilapidated city was being rebuilt from the ruins, and the refugees who had migrated were working hard with the expectation of a better life in the future. What ordinary people want is very simple, as long as they are given a home and can live a relatively prosperous and peaceful life, they are very satisfied.

A bonfire emerged not far away, and the singing of the bard was faintly heard, accompanied by the wonderful sound of the lyre, which spread far away in the night.

Stephen watched all this quietly, and turned back to the room after a long time.

Everyone has their own pursuit of life, whether they live heartlessly like Man, eat and play as much as they want, or love power like Countess Illya, as long as they feel that they are happy to live good. Stephen has already had an ordinary life, maybe occasionally he will recall it, but in the end he still has to move towards a higher place.

It is precisely because he has experienced an ordinary life that he will be full of motivation for the future.

Nothing to say all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Stephen started to work on the design of the first phase of the floating city. At present, the design part of the floating tower has been completed, which means that he must start planning the floating city now.

A floating tower is at most the size of a small town, and there are relatively few things that need to be planned.

But a floating city is different, not only the expansion of the occupied area, but also the trouble of various logistics requirements. What Stephen wants to build is not just a floating city that just wanders on a planet. The floating city he wants must be a super floating city with the ability to roam in the astral world. Such a floating city must be completely self-sufficient, even in the star world They can wander around the world for hundreds of years without worrying about logistics and supplies.

"The population must be kept below 30,000."

"Otherwise, the residential area occupied would be too large!"

"Business districts, workshops, town halls, halls of followers... plantations, ecological gardens, laboratories, wizard colleges..."

Stephen wrote and drew on a blueprint, and after working for a while, he frowned and said, "There are still too few people. It seems that we must recruit some followers with special talents."

The larger the population, the greater the burden on the floating city.

Moreover, the area of ​​a floating city is directly linked to the energy supply. The larger the area, the more energy it will consume to maintain it. In the absence of a Miser energy core, only relying on the energy of [element fusion], Stephen can at most The population of the empty city is maintained at around 50,000.

If you want to build a floating city with a population of more than 100,000, you must study [Element Annihilation] or obtain [Misser Energy Core].

Stephen was busy until the afternoon hours.

After designing the plan of the first phase of the floating city, he immediately sent it to Queen Zela Ant Race.

That's right.

Stephen's design drawing of the floating city was designed with Alantyr as the model, and he was going to directly split a part of Alantyr and splice it on the floating city when the time was right. This must rely on the ability of the Zela ant clan, otherwise it would be too much for Stephen to do the work alone.

At present, the Zela ant colony is multiplying very fast, and now has a population of nearly 50,000. Among them, the number of Zela worker ants has increased significantly. If necessary, a batch of Zela soldier ants can be quickly hatched.

But now it is definitely time to climb up the technology and explode the population. What Stephen needs most is the Zela worker ants as the labor force.

at dusk.

Stephen met the imprisoned subterranean gnomes again. They looked much more honest now, and looked at Stephen with awe in their eyes.

At first, the huge energy fluctuation outside frightened them.

"How many people does your group have?" Stephen sat on the sofa and looked at the awkward subterranean gnomes in front of him.

The leader of the subterranean dwarves hesitated for a moment and said, "There are about 3,000 people."

Only so few people?

Stephen was a little disappointed when he heard that. With such a small population, there are not many people who are really capable of fighting after deducting the old, weak, sick and disabled. No wonder these subterranean gnomes are doing so badly. The population of the underground world has always been small. Even a dark elf city has a population of around 50,000 to 100,000, but the population of these underground gnomes is really too small.

"You guys are of some use to me."

"Now I give you a choice, should I submit to me as a vassal race, or should I directly use you as slaves?"

For Stephen, who dominates the powerful Zera ant tribe, the role of the subterranean dwarf is a bit tasteless, but now the power of the star of death omen is getting stronger and stronger, even if the eye of death is killed, it is impossible to stop him The invasion of subterranean gnomes can be regarded as a useful help for Stephen.

At this time, no resource can be spared.

The underground world is an eternal slavery system, because the environment is much worse than the surface world. Whether it is the dark elves, gray dwarves, beholders, etc., they are trying to capture as many slaves as free labor, even the underground gnomes. Will enslave other races.

Being a slave is still a relatively good ending, the most terrifying thing is falling into the hands of those monsters.

They will capture captives as food reserves.

The subterranean dwarfs in front of him obviously had some discernment. As soon as Stephen finished speaking, the subterranean dwarf in the lead knelt down on one knee, and the others also knelt down together. He leaned over and said, "Pokebi is willing to serve the master."

Stephen nodded slightly and said, "Very good."

These subterranean gnomes in front of them are more knowledgeable about current affairs, so Stephen will naturally not embarrass them.

He waved away the restrictions on these underground gnomes, and said slowly: "Take your people to prepare. Tomorrow we will go underground."

The underground world is rich in minerals.

Moreover, minerals such as fine gold are basically in the deepest part of the ground, and it is completely impossible to mine them from the surface. Currently, all the fine gold circulating on the market comes from the underground world. Since there is an ancient ruin and a piece of fine gold mine under Yarantir, Stephen has to go down to see it anyway.

The floating tower is floating on it.

When necessary, Stephen can use the magic net of the earth veins to extract the energy of the floating tower, even if he encounters some powerful monsters deep underground, he doesn't have to worry about it.

These subterranean gnomes retreated quickly.

The guards brought by Countess Illya will arrange them. Stephen turned and walked towards the Wizard Tower. After entering the hall, he looked at the Gorgon Aisha who was lying on the sofa and playing with a dagger boredly. La, slowly said: "Get ready."

"Come with me tomorrow to explore the underground."

The Gorgon is also a rare race in the underground world. Aishara is more comfortable in the underground world than in the surface world, so she should be a good helper.
