Chapter 838

In the demiplane, Ren was floating in midair to observe.

Two years ago, he installed the origin crystal deep underground in the statue of the goddess of magic, maintained its existence with the core of Iola, and transformed this demiplane into a gravity-free demiplane, simulating the space environment , and began to implement his own grand plan.

This is a true Star Destroyer!

It has not yet been completed, and the overall progress is less than 30%. You can directly see the complex structure inside the battleship. Hundreds of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers are busy on deck after deck, fusing various metal materials, molding them into the required size and shape, and then splicing them together.

Every Thundercast Sky Soldier is a legendary wizard, physically strong, tireless, with a copy of the mutated mobile phone in their mind, and the blueprint of the battleship is clear in their hearts. They don't need tools, they can accurately measure the data with their eyes.

There is no better engineer in the world than a Stormcaster.

Their work efficiency is as high as hundreds of engineers in the previous life, and the most important thing is that they don't need to pay. Everyone works 996 without complaint, and even 007 works overtime!

Moreover, they can cooperate perfectly without communicating with each other, just like one person.

In fact, they are the same person.

Ren kept track of the progress of the Star Destroyer at all times. Over the past two years, tens of millions of gold shields were invested in the construction of the Star Destroyer, which almost exhausted himself.

The Star Destroyer is far from complete, though.

It is exactly the same as what I saw in the prophecy back then. It looks like a huge triangular dagger with a length of nearly 600 meters. Part of the shell that has been built is silver-white, and it is integrated. From the outside to the inside, there are seven layers made of different materials. The manufactured armor has different functions for each layer.

The length of the prototype "Empire-class Star Destroyer" is 1,600 meters. Although the length of this fantasy version is only one-third of the prototype, standing under it, you can still feel how small you are.

Ryan also thought about building a larger-sized Star Destroyer, but after calculations, he found that it was very difficult.

His own Star Destroyer is essentially a floating city.

The core of Iola serves as the main driving force. In the design idea, the core of Iola provides the energy for levitation, transition and transmission, as well as supporting the most important defensive force field, as well as the application of some spells inside the floating city, and does not participate in external release spell attack.

Star Destroyer attack from the Titan Forge!

Ren's research on the Titan Furnace is extremely in-depth, far exceeding his understanding of Iola's core. It is not easy to combine the energy utilization of two different systems.

This unprecedented huge project is so difficult that even with the help of hundreds of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, I dare not say that it will be all right.

Because of the divination, he knew he would succeed in the end.

But also because of the prophecy, Ryan felt that it was better to be conservative. First, a test ship was manufactured according to the information in the prophecy, which reduced the difficulty of the project, reduced the cost, and shortened the construction period. .

Wait until you have fully mastered the shipbuilding technology, and then try to build a bigger, stronger and more advanced Star Destroyer.

What's more, a 600-meter-long Star Destroyer is big enough.

The warship and aircraft carrier in the previous life was only over 300 meters long, almost half the size of his own Star Destroyer.

Double the length, and almost eight times the volume and weight. An aircraft carrier of more than 300 meters has a crew of 4,000 to 6,000 people, while a Star Destroyer of 600 meters can easily accommodate 30,000 people.

All the extraordinary legions under Rennes' command don't have so many people.

In the world of Arrenus, where extraordinary power is everywhere, the combat mode is completely different from the previous life. The future Star Destroyer will be a fully intelligent firepower output platform, and will not carry so many crew members. As long as the attack and defense are strong enough, It has faster and higher mobility than conventional floating cities, and does not need to be made too large, which increases the cost and difficulty of flattening.

If the Star Destroyer was built exactly according to the prototype, it would weigh more than one million tons!

And most of them are metal structures.

Even if only a small amount of it is magic alloy, less than 1%, and the rest are ordinary steel materials, its cost is unimaginably high.

Ren calculated that the value of those magic alloys alone exceeded 200 million gold shields, and the cost of the entire Star Destroyer would exceed 300 million gold shields, which he couldn't afford.

Even if you have money, you can't do it, because you can't buy many precious magic materials with money.

All in all: small is good, big is good.

But at present, the length of 600 meters is the most suitable. This is the result of repeated calculations by Renn, and he has found a balance between manufacturing difficulty, cost and construction period.

At this moment, the Thunder Cast Heaven Soldiers are like a group of worker ants, working day and night.

Ren's arrival didn't affect them in the slightest.

He teleported into the Star Destroyer and appeared in a spacious cabin where a few Stormcasters were tuning the Titan Forge. It looks exactly the same as the Titan Furnace I saw in the Temple of Storms. In fact, it has been improved. It is controlled by a split-brain chip and has a more refined and powerful energy output than the original Titan Furnace.

Adjacent to the cabin where the Titan Forge is located is the control room for the Core of Iola.

However, it is still empty.

This is the biggest problem for the Star Destroyer at present. It lacks an Iola core. Without this energy core, the starship is just a metal lump and cannot move at all.

Ren's original plan was to use the excess energy of the Iola core of the Goddess of Magic to debug during the construction process and test the rune circle inside the Star Destroyer, including defensive barriers, super large anti-gravity fields, levitation, Astral jump and alien teleportation and so on.

While debugging, create a new Iola Core.

In an emergency, you can also directly use the core of Iola, the goddess of magic.

But I didn't expect the goddess of magic to focus on the excess energy of Iola's core, and without discussing with herself, she transformed the rune circle of the idol to respond to the prayers of believers and bestow divine spells.

This messed up Ryan's plans.

He seemed calm at the unveiling ceremony, but he was actually very panicked. He didn't want the goddess of magic to know the existence of the demiplane and the Star Destroyer for the time being.

Fortunately, the goddess of magic did not notice.

The number of residents in Gotham City has not yet reached the upper limit. Although it is increasing every day, there is still some surplus energy that can be used.

Ren can only reduce the frequency of testing and try not to affect the response of the Goddess of Magic to the believers. This will undoubtedly affect the construction progress of the Star Destroyer. As the population of Gotham City increased, the chances of testing the Star Destroyer became less and less, until one day they dared not use their energy at all.

The only solution is to create a new Iola Core.

The manufacturing cost of an Iola core is around 50 million gold shields. Ren once owned it, but he had no design drawings and experience, and had no money before.

Now that the money has been settled, a person is needed to help make it, and learn how to make it by the way.

Ren immediately thought of his teacher.

In fact, the teacher has never made the Iola core, Wezelan inherited it, but the teacher has been in charge of the floating city for more than a thousand years, and he knows the structure of the Iola core well, it must be no problem, and there is no more reliable than the teacher people.

"I can only work hard, teacher."

Ren quickly made a decision. If the teacher finds it troublesome, then give him a hard fee. One million gold shields should be enough.

He poured out all the gold in the nebula ring and piled it on the ground randomly.

Then return to the treasury in Butirha Castle.

The legendary element phase walker allows Ren to accurately locate distant space-time coordinates, and the spell "transfer from another world" directly reaches the target plane.

He also left a "phase coordinate" in the demiplane, which greatly shortened the cast time of teleportation, and could return to the demiplane at any time.

Casting teleportation again and again, Ren went back and forth between the treasure house and the demiplane.

After going back and forth more than a dozen times, the entire royal family's treasures were emptied and piled up on the ground of the demiplane. There is no safer and more hidden place than here, and there is no need for guards.

After a while.

Ren walked out of the empty treasure house, and the metal door was pushed shut by the invisible hand of thought power, and the magic door reactivated and returned to its original state.

Go through any door and go back to the castle hall.

"My lord." Budiha hastily greeted him courteously.

When he saw Ren with empty hands, his eyes were full of surprise. He thought that it would take at least a day or two for Ren to remove the treasure, and a large number of people would be needed.

But judging by Ren's appearance, it seems that it's over?

Ren looked at the future king of Gupta, and his soul's eyes found that his emotions had calmed down, he got rid of the excitement of falling pie in the sky, and he didn't have any worries about what to do. Hug your thighs tightly.

"Have you figured it out?" Ren asked.

"Yes, my lord."

Budiha's expression was extremely firm, and he said loudly: "You pushed me to the position of king, and I have no way out. From now on, your will is my will, no matter what the Lord has against the Gupta Kingdom. I will try my best to meet the needs, and I will never dare to prevaricate."

He clearly and unmistakably expressed his willingness to be a puppet king.

Regardless of whether it was placed in the previous life or in Ellenus, and no matter which country it was in, Budiha's allegiance could not escape the label of a "traitor".

This kind of people who know the current affairs will always be the object of being cast aside.

But Ryan didn't mind.

Anyway, I am not a Gupta, and Budiha is not selling my country. From my own standpoint, Budiha's traitorous behavior can bring huge benefits.

"Budiha, you are a smart person, that's good." Ren encouraged a few words.

This made Budiha feel relieved.

Then I heard Ren asking: "How many extraordinary people can you recruit in your territory? Is it enough to pull out an extraordinary army?"

"My lord, all my men are dead, and there is not one left." Budiha immediately complained, "My castle is also destroyed, and my reputation will soon be destroyed. It will be difficult to recruit Chaofan in Gupta in the future. or, and I have no money..."

"Okay, okay." Ren waved his hand, not wanting to hear him complain.

Budiha no one is true, no money is a lie.

Ren didn't want to expose him, and said directly: "I will leave a few people to protect your safety until you become king. It will not exceed one month at the latest, and the empire's appointment to you will be delivered. This month, you You have to prepare yourself and think about what you should do when you become a king."

"Thank you, sir." Budiha looked overjoyed.

He thanked him, but felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

The protection Ren said was actually monitoring himself, but he didn't dare to resist at all, and he didn't have the strength to resist.

"Dorwitt, you and your brothers stayed here, thank you for your hard work." Ren casually assigned five Ultramarines and five Thundercast Sky Soldiers.

"Okay, boss." Ultramarine responded immediately.

Ren didn't stay in the castle, and flew high into the sky under Budiha's respectful eyes, and soon disappeared into the sky. After leaving the castle, Raistlin opened the portal to send everyone back to the outskirts of Bambe City, and then used the eight-leaf badge given by Duke Greyhawk to teleport them back to the floating city of Flanaiss.

It was getting dark, but the looting in Bambe had just begun.

Ren rested for a while on Eight Leaf Square, and after receiving a call from Tim Kenan, he came to the top hall of the tower again.

This time, only three holy soul wizards were present.

Master Oroin and Master Huo Huai had already returned to the empire. The Duke of Silver Star and the Queen of Storms took a look at Ren and left immediately.

They were eager to take their extraordinary legion to make a fortune in Bambe city.

"The Supreme Council has approved your proposal." Tim Kenan said straight to the point: "The empire will set up a trading company according to your ideas, and will be fully responsible for managing the trade between the empire and the subcontinent. Wait until the new consul takes office. started to execute.”

Ren nodded without the slightest surprise.

This proposal is beneficial to the entire empire, and all parties can get a share. Even the Duke of Redstone will not be against money, and approval is inevitable.

As for the execution by the new consul, it is also expected.

There is no suspense about the position of the consul. As the proposer, of course, it is the perfect candidate for him to execute.

"Rain," Tim Kenan called again.

"Master Kenan, please speak." Ren looked at the expression of the holy soul wizard and guessed what the other party was going to say next. As one of the three giants of the empire, he is obviously not used to doing this kind of black-box deal, so he seems a little uncomfortable.

"My Duchy of Longpis also has some businesses. The scale is not small and the operations are good, but the competitiveness of the entire empire may not be enough." Tim Kennan's remarks were very euphemistic.

Ren understood immediately.

Sure enough, he took a fancy to the huge benefits of trade in the subcontinent, and wanted to obtain the exclusive right to operate some products, but he was afraid that he would not be able to outbid others, so he rushed to speak first.

The holy soul wizard also needs to have a meal, which is understandable.

Ren secretly smiled in his heart, but said very straightforwardly on his face: "Master Kenan, you can give me a list of products, as long as the products listed on it, the merchants of Longpis will get the exclusive right to operate, but the quantity It’s best not to exceed ten.”

"Okay, I know how to weigh." Tim Kenan showed a satisfied smile on his face, "I will give you this list within three days."

"correct."

Tim Kennan suddenly remembered something, "What are you going to name this company?"

Ren seemed to have an answer, and immediately replied: "Imperial Subcontinent Trading Company."
