736. Asking is the Specialty of the Kingdom of Night
Tall buildings rise from the ground.
This sentence is quite appropriate when used in the construction of Rimu Town.
A normal construction project, even at domestic speeds, would not be completed within a few months, not to mention that such military fortifications must be strong and durable and able to withstand strong shock waves.
Without large machinery and modern equipment, it is not easy to build such a fortress in a short time.
But there is magic in the land of night.
There is no need to think so much about magic.
What's more, there are all kinds of extraordinary items developed by Lu Jian, from ovens that make bread delicious to gloves that can easily lift heavy objects after wearing them. There is no corner that cannot be pried.
From the hoe to the glasses, you can see the real height at a glance, just like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket.
If we don’t even consider magic, then we don’t even need to think about how this kind of extraordinary item is realized or made.
Ask about the specialty of the Kingdom of Darkness.
Architect Wang Hao looked at the completed fortress with mixed feelings in his heart.
If these tools existed in reality, then many impossible projects would become possible. As an infrastructure worker, he would definitely be able to solve more problems caused by transportation construction.
Standing on the fortress and looking down, Wang Hao saw that in addition to this fortress-like fortress, there were several blockhouses and towers in the distance. These buildings were dotted around, with the tall tower as the center, scattered in all directions.
The most important thing now is the tower.
The magic network theory has been basically perfected, and the gray tower rises from the ground, as if it has surpassed the height of the fortress, like a lighthouse, looking out into the black forest.
Wang Hao didn't know much about magic, but he still got a contract, which stated that once the Gray Tower is built and the Magic Network is activated, players will become part of the Magic Network, sharing knowledge and pollution.
This is easy to understand. In the real Internet, each host also undertakes similar tasks. Once connected to the Magic Network, you can learn magic. Wang Hao is also looking forward to it.
With the addition of the third batch of test players, the construction of Rimu Town has far surpassed other areas in the Kingdom of Darkness.
While other towns, including the duke's territory, still have excrement and stench, and mud and garbage are piled up in the city, Higurashi Town has built clean roads, regular houses, complete urban facilities and various facilities.
A functional building.
For example, magic is used to purify the streams originating from the Black Forest to provide pure water for the townspeople, as well as automatic irrigation equipment for irrigating farmland.
For example, in a three-story urban structure built outside farmland, even if the city wall is breached and the fortress falls, monsters still need to break through the other two walls to enter the living area.
For example, the original catapults have been replaced by simple artillery. As for the gunpowder, it is purified and transformed from animal dung, which can guarantee at least four to five rounds of artillery fire.
Today's Nigurashi Town is close to the urban level of some developed countries in the early 20th century. Except for the lack of modern products such as cars and electricity, everything else is quite comfortable.
Wang Hao was still thinking about what to build next, whether to try to use the magnets on the iron lizard last time to generate electromagnetic electricity, or to study other possibilities, when he saw clouds gathering above the black forest in the distance.
"Is it a demonic tide? It's impossible. According to observations, it shouldn't arrive for at least two months."
Wang Hao frowned.
Soon, he thought of another possibility, which was the migration of monsters.
He was the second batch of test players and had not experienced that tragic monster attack. At this moment, he was filled with excitement and uneasiness.
Before Wang Hao could leave the fortress, he heard the shouts of the players below.
"The monster is coming, the monster is coming, everyone is ready for battle!"
Players who were currently working on construction or resting in the town quickly mobilized.
Seeing this scene, Master Jost still felt a little incredible.
These "players" are energetic, curious about everything, and not afraid of death.
Of course, Jost can also understand that these qualities are because they are creatures of extraordinary power and have no concept of death, so it is reasonable for them to like to seek death so much.
However, Jost felt that if people in this world gained immortality, it would definitely be extremely chaotic, but these "players" are very rule-abiding, or in other words, relatively rule-abiding, and a little reward will make them happy.
They rushed towards me like hungry tigers.
Just like now, the observed migration of monsters has reappeared, and these players have quickly gathered. Even those players who went to rest have mostly returned to this world and entered the fortress.
"Why are you so active?"
Jost also asked the players he works with.
"Of course, we are saving the world."
Those players said it as a matter of course.
"I'll also go to the front line to have a look."
Drizzt touched his [Fake Sun Flame] and decided to go to the front line of the fortress to supervise the battle to prevent problems that the players could not deal with.
He came to the lookout point of the fort and found that Stone was already here.
"...It's a swarm of insects. I don't know if it's the same batch from last time."
Stone saw Drizzt and was silent for a moment before speaking.
His abilities are useless when facing such overwhelming monsters, he can only watch.
"Maybe this time the demon tide is bugs?"
Drizzt said uncertainly, if it was an insect, then at least this time the fortress should be able to withstand the attack of the monsters.
"It's getting dark."
Stone glanced at the sky.
Deep purple and crimson thunder and lightning meandered in the clouds, and strong winds blew the hair of people on the observation deck, making many players unable to open their eyes.
The fallen leaves, debris, and sand in the black forest were blown up by the strong wind, forming a rough wave and crashing into the fortress.
"The migration of monsters represents the coming demon tide. They will continue to surge and gather until the blood moon comes."
Drizzt recalled what he heard during his first mission in the Kingdom of Darkness.
"It's useless for you to stay here. You can't use a pistol to kill mosquitoes, right?"
He glanced at Stone, half joking, half persuading.
"You have to face it."
Stone said.
The next moment, thunder exploded, and the trees in the black forest began to sway continuously, and among them, black swarms of insects rose up.
"Artillery preparation."
The players below commanded.
For a time, the cannons made of animal dung were loaded with cannonballs at each gun port of the fortress. Then, the fuses were lit and the artillery fire was fired.
Peng Pengpeng——
The roar of the explosion exploded among the black mist-like swarm of insects. In places that could not be distinguished by the naked eye, many insects fell apart and their juices splashed.
But this time the insect swarm seemed to be even larger than the first time. Even though many of them were wiped out by the first round of artillery fire, there was still no end as far as the eye could see. The black mist continued to become thicker and surrounded Rimu Town.
