It was already dark when we approached Gotham City.
Sitting on the back of the dragon, Anse Wodos looked down at the brightly lit city in front of him at night. The high-rise buildings could not be seen at a glance, and the streets were full of traffic, like a city that never sleeps. Such a night view was not much worse than Modu.
He couldn't help admiring: "Who would have thought that a few years ago, this place was just a wilderness full of undead. Ren, you did a good job!"
"Your talent in governing the country is stronger than that of a wizard." Ou Luoyin also praised him sincerely.
"Thank you, Master, for your compliment." Ren was humbled.
Ouluin suddenly smiled and said: "Although I don't usually ignore the affairs of the empire, I can see the rapid development of the empire in the past two years. In this world, no one is more suitable to be a consul than you. I am very happy I supported you back then."
This time Ren was no longer modest, and nodded with satisfaction.
Ouroin didn't notice that when he said this, the eyes of Anxi Wodas beside him flickered, and his expression was a bit complicated.
Ren patted the dragon under him, "Borch, don't go into the city, let's fly north."
"Okay, boss."
The golden three-headed dragon turned in a different direction and flew northward at high altitude. After a while, it landed in a wilderness about a hundred miles away from Gotham City according to Ryan's instructions. This place is also within the radiance of the Goddess of Magic. Gotham City has not developed so far for a while, and it is surrounded by darkness and desolation. The sea is more than a dozen miles to the east.
Anxi Wodas jumped off the back of the dragon, looked around and found no traces of buildings, let alone the trace of the floating city, and was immediately puzzled.
He thought that the core of Iola would be sent directly to the construction site of the floating city.
"Ren, where's your floating city?" Oroin also asked strangely.
"not here."
Ren smiled, took the box containing Iola's core from the dragon's back, and explained: "This is just a place where I temporarily decided to install Iola's core."
Then, a portal opened in front of him, and he bowed and said, "Teacher, master, please come in!"
There was darkness behind the portal.
The two holy soul wizards saw at a glance that this was not an ordinary portal, and that the opposite side was not the main material world. They looked at each other and walked in.
Ren also entered behind, and Bolch followed curiously.
Raistlin remained in place to guard the Core of Eola.
Anxi Wodas passed through the portal, and immediately realized that the space he was in had no gravity, and his body floated up lightly. In the dry and stuffy air, there was a heavy metal smell, and countless materials were piled up on the ground, like a huge building. factory.
This is the demiplane.
Anse Wodoss knew that Ren had obtained a stone of origin from the floating city of Naxus at the beginning. It was not surprising that he had a demiplane, but he did not expect that Ren chose to build the floating city in the demiplane. Is the surface enough to accommodate a floating city?
Thinking of this, he raised his head to see the scene in mid-air, and was stunned.
Oroin also looked up at the sky and gasped.
"This, this, this..."
Borch, who followed in, took a look and was stunned. His jaw almost fell to the ground, and he stammered and shouted: "Boss, boss! Is this the floating city you built?"
A huge metal fortress hovers overhead.
Only its bottom can be seen from the ground, like a triangular dagger magnified countless times, spliced together with large pieces of armor made of silver-gray metal, any piece of armor is bigger than the room, with neat edges, Some are square, some are rectangular, and they are seamlessly welded into a whole.
There are many devices on the bottom armor, which can obviously be slid or opened. There are also some raised parts with rune engraved lines flowing on them. I don't know what their function is.
Just looking at the bottom makes the trio feel shocked!
This is the ultimate beauty of mechanical craftsmanship. They are all knowledgeable people and dragons, especially the two holy soul wizards with excellent eyesight. It can be seen that every piece of armor at the bottom is a melted magic alloy. A large number of rune circles are hidden.
It's fine if it's just a piece of armor, but there are at least thousands of them in front of you!
It is a huge project just to melt the metal material that weighs tens of millions of pounds, and it also needs to infiltrate the magic alloy, arrange the rune array, design, splicing, debugging, etc...
It's hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources will be invested in this?
Not to mention its manufacturing cost, just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle, it's terribly expensive!
However, they didn't see a single worker in the demiplane. Except for themselves, the whole demiplane was silent.
"You can't see the whole picture here." Ren smiled and said, "Come with me."
He propped up the force field of his mind to cover the three of them, and carried them into the sky. The closer you get to the metal fortress, the stronger the sense of oppression it brings, and the terrifying weight hangs above your head, inexplicably creating extreme anxiety and danger in your heart.
Anse Wodas observed more details, even if he looked closely, the bottom armor could not find any flaws.
He had also wondered if the metal fortress might be too small.
The volume is less than one-tenth of the floating city, but now it feels too big!
Most of the interior of the floating city is mountains, mud rocks or blank land. Only a very small part has been transformed by the wizards, which may be less than 1%. It is semi-processed, and every piece of this metal fortress For the armor, every component that makes it up, and every inch of space, countless painstaking efforts and materials have been poured into it. With the same volume, the engineering volume is more than ten times higher than that of the Floating Void City!
If it is as big as the floating city, the amount of work will increase to an unimaginable level, and it may be enough to build more than a dozen floating cities.
Soon, Ren led the three to the side of the Star Destroyer.
"What a big electro-optical cannon!" Borch exclaimed.
The Star Destroyer is also covered with armor. It looks like the blade of a dagger. Compared to the entire Star Destroyer, it is very thin, but it is actually more than 30 meters high, which is equivalent to a ten-story building. The most eye-catching thing is a row of gun ports.
Anse Wodos also recognized these as electro-optic cannons, which had been deployed in Gotham City a long time ago.
But the muzzles of these electro-optical cannons in front of us are obviously thicker and longer, and each one has two barrels juxtaposed. From the beginning to the end, a total of eight electro-optical cannons are installed on the side, adding up to sixteen cannons. It can rotate and attack all targets in this direction.
It is conceivable that eight huge electro-optical cannons must have been installed on the other side of the metal fortress.
The altitude continued to rise.
The three of them finally saw the whole picture of the Star Destroyer. Sure enough, the top of it was completely covered with solid metal armor. The two pieces of armor were joined together at a small angle like the blade of a sword, with the spine of the sword in the middle. But after being magnified countless times, it looks like two silver-gray metal hillsides.
The front of the fortress is unobstructed, without too many installations.
But at the back end, there are three deck-like metal buildings, one built on top of the other, gradually rising, layered on top of each other, and on the third floor there is another tall tower-like building, supported on the top of the building. A huge platform.
The wing-shaped platform extends to both sides, with a total length of nearly 200 meters.
Obviously, this platform is the core control point of the metal fortress. It has a high position and a good view. Its importance and function are like the Wezeland Tower to Wezeland Floating City.
There are four double-door electro-optical cannons in the area where the two sides of the base under the platform are connected to the armor.
Ren led two people and one dragon to fly around the Star Destroyer, and sure enough, he saw eight identical double-door electro-optical cannons on the other side.
When Gu Dang circled to the back of the Star Destroyer, they saw seven propulsion engines, three big and four small. The three big ones were the main engines, and the diameter of the nozzle was more than thirty meters. When working, how frightening the heat is ejected.
Ou Luoyin was amazed again and again, and he did not hesitate to praise him.
He doesn't have a floating city, but it doesn't hinder his understanding of the floating city. Although Ren's metal fortress is small, it feels more magnificent to him than other floating cities.
"What a great creation!" Oroin sighed.
Borch also kept nodding, his eyes were straightened, and there was only one thought in his mind, how much did it cost to build this thing?
Anxi Wodas looked at Rennes and asked: "You said this is not a floating city, it is indeed not. What should it be called? Floating battleship?"
In the history of Allenus, the concept of floating warships appeared, and the elf empire in the last era also created real objects, but that was just a modification of sea warships so that they could fly up and fight in the air. There are many Flaws, in the end, it failed to exert much power.
The idea of this metal fortress is similar to that of a floating battleship, but it is obviously much more powerful than those flying ships of the elves.
"No, teacher." Ren replied sternly, "I call it a Star Destroyer."
Star Destroyer!
The faces of the two and one dragon changed slightly. The implication of the name is very straightforward, destroying and destroying stars, but can it really do it?
Ren introduced: "My Star Destroyer is equipped with thirty-two double-connected electro-optic cannons, each of which can emit nine-ring powerful electro-optical rays, and has three firing modes at the same time. The teacher has seen it before. But their energy is more powerful, so their power and range are greater and longer."
"Where are there thirty-two doors?" Borch had already counted and found only twenty-four doors.
As soon as he finished speaking, eight pieces of armor on the bottom of the Star Destroyer slid open, and eight circular turrets protruded from the inside. The muzzles rotated rapidly, allowing them to attack all targets below.
"So it was hidden."
After the demonstration, the electro-optic cannons on the bottom and upper floors, as well as on both sides of the hull were retracted, and the muzzle was covered by armor, making the defense more stringent.
Anxi Wodas shook his head: "No matter how many electro-optic cannons rely on the power of the Nine Rings, the attack power seems to be worse than that of the Floating Void City."
Ren smiled, "The Star Destroyer also has a main gun."
click click...
The front end of the Star Destroyer, located at the tip of the dagger, heard the sound of a huge mechanical transmission, and layers of armor slid away to the sides, revealing a black-painted gun barrel. Its caliber exceeds ten meters, and most of the gun barrels are hidden inside the Star Destroyer, so it is impossible to tell how long it is.
There are dense arrays of runes engraved on the barrel. It has not been activated, but it obviously already has a source of energy. It just maintains a standby state, and the energy fluctuations it emits are extremely astonishing.
"This main gun, I named it 'Star Destroyer Cannon'."
Ren said: "Its principle is the same as that of the electro-optical cannon. It is essentially an electro-optical ray, but after my enhancement and transformation, and with the optimized Titan furnace as the energy source, it fires at full power, which is more powerful than most ten-ring spells. "
"Ten-ring spell!" Ou Luoyin was taken aback.
"Master, to be precise, it's not a spell." Ren didn't know how to explain it. The Star Destroyer is his own application of huge energy, and the rune array is just an auxiliary. It fires and launches, and the form is more like the laser cannon in the previous sci-fi concept. .
Anse Wodos looked solemn, "How long does it take to prepare for the Star Destroyer to fire, and what is the attack frequency?"
"It's about the same as the Ultimate Austrian Fireball, but a little faster." Ren replied.
Anse Woldas was silent.
He is no stranger to the ten-ring spell, Ultimate Arcane Fireball. In Tim Kenan's Flanaiss Floating Void City, the most powerful attack method is Ultimate Arcane Fireball. Attack, just showed its power in Bambe City the year before last.
However, the ultimate arcane fireball is one of the weakest spells among the ten rings, which is the price of faster casting and attack frequency.
And Ren said that the Star Destroyer's power surpassed most ten-ring spells!
For this alone, the lethality of the Star Destroyer surpasses all the floating cities. Anse Wodoss participated in the partial design of the Star Destroyer. Now that he sees the whole picture, he finally understands Rennes' overall thinking. Two energy systems.
The Star Destroyer and Electron Cannon are backed by the Titan Furnace and focus on attacking.
The Core of Iola powers the Star Destroyer for warping and defense.
The two energy systems work at the same time, combined to complement each other, to maximize both attack and defense, and no longer have the weakness of the floating city.
Absolutely a genius idea!
However, only Ren can master the two completely different knowledge systems of Titan Furnace and Iola's Core at the same time, and combine them perfectly.
Anse Wodoss can imagine how many difficulties and problems have to be overcome. If it were him, he would not dare to say that he would be able to complete it.
Even, he felt that he couldn't do what Rennes could do.
At this moment, Anse Wodos noticed that on the sloped deck of the upper deck of the Star Destroyer, the emblem of the Augustus family was engraved, a warhammer intersected with the crescent moon. Very visible on the armor plate.
The Star Destroyer is engraved with insignia in several places, but under each insignia there is a row of the same symbol.
This is clearly a text.
But Anse Wodos didn't recognize it, he frowned, and searched in his mind for a long time, but he couldn't remember what kind of words it was, and he didn't even have any impression.
"Ren, what does that line of symbols mean?" He couldn't help asking.
CPU1016613743
Ren replied in his heart that this was the reminder he saw in the prophecy of the Prophet Medifer back then, and he engraved it on the day the Star Destroyer was completed.
Has he thought about what the consequences would be if he didn't engrave this line of reminders?
Time paradox?
Or something more terrifying. Anyway, Ren didn't dare to try, so he finally engraved it honestly, and tried his best to be exactly the same as what he saw in the prophecy screen.
"That's a symbol I wrote casually, it has no practical meaning, teacher." Ren replied vaguely.
Anse Wodoss tactfully stopped asking.
Ouroin looked at the surrounding space, and he couldn't wait to see the Star Destroyer take off, so he couldn't help asking: "Ren, your demiplane is outside the main material world, right? Nucleus sent in?"
Entering the demiplane also needs to be teleported, and the core of Iola is obviously not acceptable.
Ren had already thought of a way, and said with a smile: "Iola's core can't get in, but we can send the Star Destroyer out."
Both of them are very puzzled.
Borch scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. He asked in confusion, "How can the Star Destroyer get out without power?"
"It's very simple, just push it out." Ren replied with a smile.
