There is no doubt that nothing can make these experts from the earth realize the power and unique charm of magic better than a city floating in the sky.
After all, anti-gravity technology had no hope of being realized during their lifetimes, and even the corresponding theoretical basis was that strong magnetic fields could offset gravity to some extent.
Even the aircraft with the most powerful carrying capacity can only lift three hundred tons of things into the sky, nothing more.
But what about the floating city of Plantia
This thing is completely a solid base made up of a giant mountain and a lot of hard rocks, and then houses and mage towers are built on the base.
With the central tower as the center, the radius of the floating city even reaches an astonishing ten kilometers, and the weight is calculated in ten thousand tons as the basic unit.
After all, in addition to mages and their apprentices living here, there are also a large number of servants, slaves, magical creations, as well as various beasts and magical creatures captured from other parts of the world.
This is also the reason why the goddess of magic becomes interested in the floating city of Plantia after her arrival at midnight.
Compared with the small floating cities in Netheril that can only accommodate 20 to 30 thousand people at most, the floating cities in this world are much larger, and more rocks can be collected and cut from the ground as needed to increase the habitability.
Area.
In other words, there is no size limit for the floating city in this world. As long as the [Heart of Earth Veins] is still working, it can expand without limit.
The most important thing is that the floating city is not a simply habitable city, but an armed fortress with the ability to fly and move at high speeds.
Putting aside for the time being the large-scale damaging spells that the mage towers can release, the fact that they can control the gravity within twenty or thirty kilometers of the ground is enough to cause unimaginable damage and damage to the enemy.
Just imagine, when the floating city drops thousands of boulders weighing dozens or hundreds of tons in one go, what does it mean to an army?
What does it mean for a city?
If you replace the rocks with bombs, cluster bombs or incendiary bombs, can a city disappear from the map in an instant?
The more thirty experts from Earth thought about it, the more they felt that the floating city of Plantia had huge potential for development and war.
To be precise, without the use of nuclear weapons, with the current level of science and technology on earth, it is impossible to cause effective harm to it.
Whether it is an airplane, a missile, or a large-scale artillery salvo, it will be easily resolved by the floating city's powerful gravity control.
It is estimated that it will be captured instantly before it reaches the effective killing distance, and then thrown back directly.
Of course, even if nuclear weapons are used, it may not be able to destroy the floating city.
You must know that nuclear warheads also require missiles or aircraft as delivery vehicles, so they can only be detonated outside the range of gravity control to avoid capture.
Under normal circumstances, the direct killing radius of a nuclear warhead usually does not exceed five kilometers.
This means that unless it is a super thermonuclear weapon like Da Yinwan, trying to blow up the floating city by relying on shock waves, high temperature, and high pressure is a complete daydream.
As for whether nuclear radiation can cause harm to people in the floating city, it must first pass through the surrounding magical protective barrier.
After understanding the miracle of the Floating City of Plantia, which was completely created by magic, the enthusiasm of the thirty senior talents for learning magic was unprecedentedly high. Even when the lich Vanessa came to take the first class, she was almost asked by the other party.
I was confused by all kinds of tricky and weird questions.
The magic class that was originally planned to be two hours a day took a full six hours to end. The first two hours were in class, and the last four hours were spent racking one's brains to answer questions.
If it weren't for these people who still need to eat and rest, they would all wish they could follow him around the clock to ask for advice on the difficulties they encountered during the study process.
What made Vanessa even more surprised and unbelievable was that in just a few days, someone in this group of guys successfully performed a zero-ring light spell.
But this is just the beginning!
In less than a week, thirty people successfully performed the zero-ring trick one after another, officially crossing the threshold that may take ordinary people several years to cross, and officially becoming mage apprentices.
"It's incredible! What a bunch of freaks! Sir, where did you find so many geniuses?" Lich immediately approached Zuo Si and asked.
The latter replied with a smile: "They all come from another time and space, a world with billions of people and universal basic education, and everyone is an elite in their respective industries. To put it in a simpler way, these talents
They all have an intelligence attribute of at least seventeen to eighteen points, so they learn so fast."
"All!"
Vanessa's mouth opened in surprise.
He has personally taught at least twenty apprentices, so he knows very well how difficult it is to find a genius with an intelligence level of seventeen or even eighteen points.
Not to mention seventeen o'clock, it's eighteen o'clock, it's hard to meet someone even at sixteen o'clock.
In Faerûn, the starting intelligence level of most mages is usually only twelve to fourteen points, and those above fourteen points will receive additional care and training from their instructors.
As the spellcasting level increases and through various spells, magic items and potions, their intelligence attributes will gradually become higher.
Zuo Si obviously knew very well why his lich reacted like this, and nodded straightforwardly: "That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I would go to such great lengths to create such a unique system from scratch?
What I need is not only their knowledge and professional skills, but also their intelligence and creativity.
Remember, a strong civilization cannot be supported by the wisdom of a few or even dozens of people, even if there are millions or tens of millions of undead creatures as free labor.
The carrier of civilization is human beings, so only humans can create civilization, or intelligent creatures like humans.
What determines how high a magical civilization can reach is determined by the number of geniuses born in this civilization and the average level of education.
The reason why the Netheril civilization has become the pinnacle of human magical civilization on the continent of Faerûn is that it has established a complete education system and has successively cultivated Congenio, the demigod Yin Orem, and the King of Wizards.
Larok, Cronomanthir who invented the anti-gravity technique, the undead Ovo and other talented great arcanists.
In particular, Yin Orem almost single-handedly started the golden age of Netheril.
Behind these talented great arcanists, there is the support of millions of people in Netheril.
In my opinion, the number of highly intelligent geniuses in a certain civilization is actually closely related to the population base of that race.
Change the source and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.】
Let’s take the simplest example.
If it is assumed that the intelligence attribute 18 is that only one in 10,000 people can be born on average, then which one has more geniuses, a civilization with a population of 1 million or a civilization with a population of 10 million?
The answer is obviously the latter.
Therefore, the number of geniuses born in Faerûn, which only has a population of 60 to 70 million intelligent races and more than 90% of whom are illiterate, cannot be compared with a world with a population of several billion and a complete education system.
The most important thing is that these souls from another world, no matter how powerful they become, only have the right to use the body, not ownership.
As long as I want, I can disconnect their consciousness and body at any time.
This also means that all possibilities of betrayal are eliminated from the source.
Isn’t it much better to have a group of talented people with mature minds, master knowledge in relevant professional fields, and who are always loyal than spending a lot of time, energy and money to train mage apprentices from scratch?"
Hearing these words, Vanessa's eyes suddenly shone slightly, and with a very respectful gesture, she put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply: "Your vision and wisdom are beyond my reach. If this plan succeeds, I will
I think the organization will be able to create an unprecedented magic empire in this world."
"We'll talk about the magic empire later. Your first task at this stage is to play the role of a mentor and teach as much magic knowledge as possible as quickly as possible. When the second batch of clones matures, I will soon bring more
Soul."
After that, Zuo Si gave the other party a list of things that needed to be built before the second batch of talents arrived.
These include a fighting and shooting training academy, a natural academy dedicated to teaching Dru Yin and ranger knowledge, a bard academy, an academy to train thieves and assassins, and a seminary to train priests.
Of course, there is only one kind of divine doctrine currently taught in the seminary, and that is the Phoenix God-Bennu.
After all, the good news doesn’t flow to outsiders.
The only thing Zuo Si can confirm that he will not betray God is this little phoenix created by himself.
As for the mage and warlock academies, the towers everywhere in the floating city are all ready-made, so there is no need to build them specially.
You don't need to ask to know that these training bases are specially prepared for the upcoming "fourth natural disaster".
After all, although magic cloning is not as expensive as other magic technologies to be used on a large scale, it still costs money and consumes resources.
Therefore, in line with the principle of saving as much as possible, Zuo Si plans to let these fourth natural disasters receive a period of training, at least to ensure that they have the LV professional level before releasing them, or to find a world with a relatively low level of danger to practice their skills.
.
Otherwise, if these guys really died seven or eight times a day or more than a dozen times a day like playing games, frantically consuming the inventory of clones, he was afraid that if he didn't hold back, he would directly transform the opponent's soul into a wraith, and then stuff it with magic.
It is a part that can operate automatically in a machine.
"I understand! Please rest assured that I will do my best to promote this plan." Vanessa promised confidently.
Immediately afterwards, the lich used the authority granted by the central tower to teleport directly back to where he lived.
After a while, fifty steel structures began to renovate several large buildings in the floating city. They demolished those that needed to be demolished and renovated those that needed to be renovated.
Thanks to the help of transformation magic, the two academies rose from the ground in about two or three hours, and their construction speed even exceeded that of skyscrapers made of reinforced concrete.
To be continued...
