High Above

Just above the earth, when the power of the floating city first showed its strength.

Dragon Island, Mahdi... that is, Immovable City Ian is also thinking about it.

"The empire created a floating city."

He said to Longdao that the two Dragon Kings who were communicating with the Dragon of the Abyss must also hear his words: "This kind of non-magnetic levitation anti-gravity technology, except for Yunjing City, which I have not seen, is the only one that has Dragon King." The island is here... This is somewhat similar to the technology of a real dragon to lift its body and fly at super high speeds."

[This is not the technology of a real dragon]

Ji Feng Dragon King said: [The fire and alien gods obtained by the City of Knowledge came from two different civilizations, one of which originated from the people of the storm in the gaseous planet. The so-called cloud scene is actually their response to the gravity of the giant star. And the 'defense line' of super giant storm】

[You also know that the storms of gas giants are enough to swallow several Terras, so they are not fighting, but using - they use the etheric field to reduce the relationship between their living area and various forces. To put it simply, they are Make the city temporarily independent of 'gravity']

This is actually easy to understand.

As we all know, planets rotate very quickly. The planet also rotates around the star, and the speed is not slow either.

The reason why human beings have not been 'thrown' away is precisely because humans move along with these behemoths, but at the same time, humans are also restrained by the 'force' of these behemoths.

If you want to transcend the gravity of the planet and become a satellite, you need the first cosmic speed. Similarly, if you want to break away from the planet and the local solar system, you need the higher second and third cosmic speeds.

Only by reaching this speed can we transcend all influences and gain 'freedom', the power to move freely.

It's difficult. Especially for civilizations in gas giants, their original material structure is not very strong, and the gravity and wind they have to contend with are even more terrifying. They cannot keep their feet on the ground like humans and launch rockets and aircraft to go to the stars.

Therefore, relying on the unique ether technology of the Terran Universe, they developed another brand-new method.

That is, reduction and submission.

Reduce the force exerted on them by these giants, planets and stars. Submissive to the planet's ecology, the forces exerted on their cities.

——As long as the influence of gravity on the city is isolated, the city can be stably suspended in the stable zone of the gas giant instead of sinking deeper into the planet.

——As long as they obey the impact of the atmosphere, no matter how terrifying the hurricane is, it will just push their city around without destroying the interior.

And if they want to fly to the starry sky, they don't burn flames to go to the starry sky, but 'stay where they are'. The stars will naturally leave them, and then directly come to a specific place in a way that is both simple and complex. Space, then links itself to everything again, anchoring itself.

Unlike humans who increase rocket output and build walls to resist, this is a completely alien logic.

The reason why the floating city can float is because it is isolated from the influence of the planet's gravity, and only needs a simple push to make it float.

Moreover, the speed of the floating city can also be very fast - as long as it is slightly isolated from the pull exerted by the planet on itself, then it can move on a fixed orbit at the speed of the planet's rotation.

"So outrageous?"

Ian was shocked: "Doesn't this mean that as long as it is on the same rotation track, the floating city can strike at any time?"

[It’s not that simple. To grasp the space-time calculation of absolute coordinates and relative coordinates, the level of the Terran people is far from enough. Even the thing you built in the virtual realm cannot calculate the situation in this cradle]

The Extreme Wind Dragon King said slowly: [Even the people of the storm who have developed this technology cannot completely get rid of their connection with all things - if they want to develop it, it is equivalent to skipping all the front-end technology and lighting up the 'curvature engine' '

[This is not impossible, but even the curvature engine has an anchor point in real time and space, and will not let itself drift in the universe... The same is true for the floating city. As long as it does not want to be thrown away by the movement of the planet, it can only simply Resist gravity, and then use its own power to fly slowly]

"A dragon can do it."

Ian originally wanted to say, 'This is already very powerful.' After all, no matter how slow the floating city moves, it is still a moving fortress, which is much higher than a non-moving one.

But soon, he was keenly aware of the meaning behind the Dragon King: "The movement of the dragons is curvature navigation, and the blazing star dragon is the coordinates of the dragons... He is the real dragon who leads and calculates these coordinates! "

【Yes】

The Extreme Wind Dragon King looked at Ian, and his tone was meaningful: [And you have obtained the essence of blazing light... When you reach the fifth energy level, you will have the ability to calculate the relative absolute coordinates of space and time in the universe... This will It’s the beginning of the curvature engine]

[At that time, with the Ether Furnace Heart you already own... Ian, you may be the first human on this earth to gain the power of the 'Second Generation Mentor True Dragon'! 】

Ian should have been happy, but now, he was deep in thought.

He thought of the dragon of light he controlled on the way to extinguish the star... He controlled the dragon, detonated the star and moved forward, melting into the light.

This speed is indeed not slow, but compared to super-light curvature navigation, why don't you use it?

Theoretically speaking, he who is on the path of Star Extinguishing also has the essence of blazing light and can develop a curvature engine... He must have discovered something, so he doesn't use this technology.

"Will it be discovered in the end? But the light speed operation will also be discovered...or in other words, what dangers are there in the time and space where the curvature engine is in the current cradle?"

Ian has no way of knowing the results unless he can develop a warp drive now and predict the results.

But he finally understood the nature of the Floating City and Yunjing.

That is at this moment.

Ian, or rather, ‘Mahdi’, had a look on his face.

Because he sensed that in the virtual realm, there was a ray of information, or a flying letter from the virtual realm, speeding towards him!

That's a letter.

A letter from the fifth-level powerhouse, the Lord of Thousand Towers, Corizion Qiusuo.

at the same time.

Isengard, who was meditating in the virtual realm, also received this letter.

"Invite me to the Quest Spire in the City of Knowledge?"

The blond and blue-eyed aristocratic boy slowly opened his eyes in the secret room. His expression was a little confused: "I do want to go there for exchange and inspection, but why are you specially inviting me...wait?"

He suddenly thought of his own bloodline and another young strong man he had met in the Alien Research Institute who was related to the 'Beast of a Thousand Stars'... the City of Knowledge, the chief of Qingyue Spire, the Thinker Erge.

The other party seemed to have a half body constructed from the offspring of the Beast of Thousand Stars.

If the City of Knowledge invited him for this purpose... specially invited him to seek the spire...

So, should he go?

Isengard didn’t think much about it, he contacted Ian directly!

It’s a joke, do you still need to think for yourself? When your friend is a prophet, of course you just wait for the prophecy!

【possible】

Regarding the fact that Isengard was also invited, Ian, who also received Corizion's letter, had another idea: [I think that the Lord of the Search Spire made this decision with the tacit approval of the empire]

[Ethan, you may not know this, but I just saw the final product of the cooperation between the City of Knowledge and the Empire...a strategic-level floating fortress]

[The recent cooperation between the Empire and the Capital of Knowledge is far beyond our imagination. It can even be said that they have even exchanged technologies between the Imperial Capital and the Celestial Capital. Who knows if they have exchanged technologies related to the 'Beast of Thousand Stars'? If there really is...then I think we can really have a good exchange]

[And don’t worry, the capital of learning also invited me. To be precise, it invited my ‘senior brother’ Mahdi. They can't be that stupid, thinking that neither the Mahdi nor you will ask me, and set out there without asking the prophet... and I did not sense the danger to you]

"I can probably guess what the other person is thinking."

Isengard has become more experienced and mature after being tempered. He had already thought about many possibilities when he contacted Ian: "The fusion of my blood has not been exposed yet. They invited me, just by the way when they invited you." The reason why the Capital of Knowledge invited Mahdi is obviously for the various technologies you obtained from the Alien Research Institute."

"Ian, your performance in Nanling some time ago was too amazing. The City of Knowledge must feel that you have obtained quite a lot of pre-era civilization technology. They have always been keen to recycle these technologies. I think that if necessary, some of them can be released. Give it to them, sell it at a good price, or exchange it for some technology you need."

"Besides, the Psychic Church also has a cathedral in the Capital of Knowledge - selling two copies of one piece of information is nothing, as long as we add a little more details, it will be no problem."

【You have become bad】

"Learned it from you."

Of course, Ian didn't think it was a big deal that Isengard had learned from him badly. He just warned: [There is no need to earn two shares. The main reason is that this invitation was personally sent by the Lord of Thousand Towers... I It is estimated that the other party does not simply want to exchange some skills with me. A fourth-level powerhouse is enough for this intention. I suspect...he may have seen more things]

"Your... inheritance?"

Even though he had a direct connection with Ian in the virtual realm, Isengard still didn't dare to say the words "Gift of the Star God". To be honest, he really wished he hadn't heard Ian tell these truths: "What if If he really sees it, then why doesn’t he just grab it?”

"Oh, you are on Dragon Island..." Isengard was a little confused.

[Yes, I am on Dragon Island]

Ian said softly: [In fact, I have been regarded as a 'dragon' - I will drive the body of the dark gold dragon to the City of Knowledge. Even if the Lord of Thousand Towers attacks me, it is meaningless, because I can definitely Hold on until the Dragon King takes action]

[It’s you, Ethan, do you really plan to go? 】

"I was originally going to the Capital of Knowledge for the cooperation of the workshop. Being able to meet the Lord of Thousand Towers will be of great benefit to my cooperation."

Isengard shrugged. After all, he was also the general manager of the southern region of his family's workshop. His cooperation with Ian had rapidly increased his prestige, but he still lacked some reputation and foundation.

And if you can meet the Lord of Thousand Towers, Corizion, even if it's just a photo, many manufacturers who are still hesitant will definitely agree without hesitation.

"They wouldn't kidnap an imperial noble to threaten an exile who was expelled from the empire, right?" Isengard joked: "I even think that the other party is more likely to just want to see us - to seek the Lord of the Spire. His curiosity is famous all over the world. With such a strange existence like you and my bloodline that may be seen through, which one is not something that makes him itchy?"

"What I'm afraid of is, will he see through your Mahdi vest and your true body as Ian?"

【Don't talk about these】

Ian, the unmasked king, ended the topic and asked directly: [When do you plan to go there? I, Mahdi, have to wait until the Dragon of the Abyss review is completed, and have you mastered your fusion bloodline? 】

"Soon."

Raising his hand, Isengard looked at his palm.

In the palm of the hand, there is a dark ring flowing like blood, and a golden sun's radiance burns quietly within the black ring.

The blond nobleman whispered: "I can fully control this power... this 'blood inheritance'."

Ian is not sure whether Isengard really controls the power of his bloodline. This requires him to go and do a detailed check in person. Just like Adebert claims that he is in great condition, actually check it. Later, the soul was too tired and was forced to sleep for three days and three nights by Ian.

Many diseases cannot be judged by oneself, but professionals and specialized equipment are still needed.

As for now, he doesn't have time yet.

Because of his identity as 'Ian', he was still participating in a strategic meeting of high-ranking nobles of the empire in the Western Plains.

In the western plains, the floating city slowly descended.

This time the test was quite complete. After more than a dozen tests, the floating city determined that there were no problems with the various data.

Even if there are some minor flaws, they can be solved at any time with a professional maintenance team.

Ian and Earl Barton and other great nobles from all over the empire boarded the floating city. Under the introduction of the empire's core engineering staff, they learned about the structure and general functions of the floating city, as well as many technical details.

"Please see, this is one of the eight ether furnaces in the Floating City. It is responsible for the energy supply of the southeast block. This ether furnace core has made certain progress in technology. Although it is not yet completely comparable to the perfect ether furnace core in the previous era, the loss is The efficiency is only 0.03%, and the battery life is as high as 168 hours. The only disadvantage is that once it is overloaded, it is irreversible. You can only use the 'loading and unloading' function here to throw down the entire southeast block together with the molten ether furnace core to use as final ammunition. ."

"And here is the Spiritual Wind Wave Cannon. It uses ultra-high concentration of wind element to compress the mass of matter and launch it at super high speed to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy fortress. The wave cannon just launched was not at full strength, but at full strength. It is a 35% charged bombardment, and the aftermath of a 100% full force bombardment may even be affected by the impact on the floating city itself, so it is difficult to conduct experiments, and the technology will be improved in the future.”

"Please see, this is the Gnaku of Sky and Sky Armor. As a strategic air suppression fortress, the floating city can place more than four hundred sky and sky armors, which is the total number of sky and sky armors in a theater of the empire. Sky and Sky Armor The disadvantage of the equipment is that it consumes fuel very quickly, requires a strong fortress as a frontline supply point, and is quite fragile when it is not activated. The floating city also has the disadvantage of worrying about its defense when approached by small targets. The two can make up for each other, and the former can get Mobile propulsion, continuous maintenance and refueling of air supply depots, and the latter can be protected by the strongest conventional combat power of the Empire."

"The air fleet is under construction. By then, the empire will have created the Terran Air Force with the floating city as its core skeleton and the air fleet as its flesh and blood."

The introducers were eloquent, and they were obviously extremely confident and proud of their creations - they also had the right to be proud, because once a creation like the Floating City appeared, it would be an overwhelming advantage over the enemy forces.

Apart from anything else, the demon army wants to physically destroy the floating city. Is that possible? Even the cursed soil cannot corrode the altitude of several thousand meters. There is a corresponding relationship between the virtual realm and reality. There are several creatures thousands of meters in the altitude, and it is troublesome for the fog to rise up.

And if you want to let the lemure demons, beast demons and fusion demons fly up to attack the floating city...well, are you sure they are not targets?

The defensive power of the floating city is enough to ignore all attacks below the fourth energy level. Even if the local army joins forces to attack, there is no professional air defense means, just a few anti-aircraft guns and missile bombardments, which cannot threaten those with the imperial shield technology. Floating city.

You know, even if it is simplified and reduced, it is still planetary shield technology!

Stepping on this steel fortress and listening to the explanations of the technical staff, the great nobles of the empire were simply relaxed and happy.

Of course, some people are worried.

"excuse me."

Count Roald, a great nobleman in the north, asked in a deep voice: "The floating city is indeed an unprecedented great creation. It can even be said that the glory of our empire will begin from this - but!"

"Shouldn't this be confidential? Why do you have to tell us in so much detail?"

Earl Roald is indeed a great nobleman, but his family line has gradually declined four hundred years ago. Now this Earl is only the third level, unlike Ian, who is a third level with meritorious service and backing. class.

It's normal for him to have this suspicion, because he sincerely feels that he is not worthy of knowing such a secret - should he be silenced or targeted?

"My lord, a new era of war is coming."

In this regard, the introducers had already anticipated all possibilities. They smiled and said: "A floating city and a floating fortress are absolutely not enough - it can even be said that the empire needs more floating fortresses to guard the four directions... And you all We are all nobles of the empire, and we are all pillars of the empire in the true sense. Your territories are either guarding a frontier, or they are located in the core hinterland of the empire. Without a floating town to suppress it, how can you welcome the new era?"

"It may not be necessary for our current 'Far Frontier City' to be as large and complete as it is, nor does it even need to have mobile and strategic strike capabilities - but in your territory, you must have a building that can truly overlook the entire territory. The floating fortress.”

"This is our honor and our responsibility. Sir, the empire will send relevant professionals to your territory to assist you in building the floating city."

"This is the strategic mission of the future."

Hearing this, the originally noisy imperial aristocratic group fell silent instantly.

The Imperial City will send professionals to build... the floating city?

In the core of your own territory?

At this moment, all the great nobles thought of many possibilities - for example, the Imperial Capital was definitely not so kind, and there must be a conspiracy behind this floating city... For example, the Imperial Capital wanted to use the Floating City to monitor and suppress themselves, Seizing the power of local nobles... For example, the land guardian is really crazy. He doesn't really think that if he hands over this technology, the imperial nobles will not dare to transform it, right?

Although the frenzy surged in their hearts, for a while, the team of imperial nobles was indeed suppressed by the orders of the land defenders.

As for Ian who looked a little distracted?

He had just carved out the entire floating city through the gift of the Star God!

Your floating city is great, but now it’s all mine.jpg

Now, Ian no longer needs the empire to send professionals to assist in construction. He is more professional than most professionals.

So, it was at this time.

Ian vaguely felt that the empire asked nobles from all over the country, or in other words, invited them, the great nobles who had been recognized by the imperial capital and were invited to come to the Western Region to appreciate the power of the floating city, to build the floating city in the future.

"The shield systems of the floating city... can resonate with each other."

With his eyes looking forward, Ian's consciousness has sunk into the depths of the Star God's Gift, reading the entire structure of the floating city, and quickly dismantling and digesting it: "With the core shield of the Imperial Capital as the center, and the major floating cities The shield system is the relay point..."

"The entire empire territory will be perfectly covered by the imperial capital's planetary shield!"
