The Great Arcanist Who Traveled Through the World of American Variety Shows
Chapter 42 Arcane Civilization
The floating cities of the Netheril era were indeed glorious, but the size of the cities was usually not large, and because the Mysore Core was closely connected to the Magic Web, if there was a problem with the Magic Web, the floating city would crash.
In order to prevent repeating the same mistakes, the arcanists who had experienced that era did not use the elemental furnaces that were connected to the Magic Web from the beginning, but laid a set of artificial Magic Webs around the floating city.
Compared with the Mysore Core, the elemental furnace only has a higher output power, not unlimited energy. Therefore, elemental fuel needs to be stored in the floating city. A fully filled elemental furnace can operate stably for hundreds of years, and usually the reserve energy of a floating city can ensure the normal operation of the floating city for a thousand years.
If it is in the astral world, this time can be increased several times, after all, the astral world has no gravity, and the floating ring only ensures basic operation.
The technology of miniaturized elemental furnaces is not too difficult. What troubled the arcanists at the beginning was the engraving and material problems of the rune array. When micro-carving, photolithography, and etching technologies appeared one after another, this problem was mostly solved.
The material problem was also solved by the rune array. The more accurate and precise array was applied to all walks of life in the arcane civilization, and a wave of upgrades was made to various magic equipment, so better magic metal materials came into being.
Dozens of disciplines such as rune engineering, micro-carving, advanced arcane theory, and high-energy element mechanics are also confidential disciplines in the Supreme Arcane Council. Every great arcane master who studies these knowledge must sign the Source Sea Contract to ensure that they will not be leaked to the outside world, and must work for the Supreme Arcane Council for a hundred years.
Of course, you can also use your own research results to exchange knowledge with the Supreme Arcane Council, but leakage is also not allowed.
Richard worked for the Arcane Council for a hundred years, and with some of the knowledge he researched, he exchanged this knowledge back.
Mage Tower, laboratory.
Richard is operating a furnace full of magical atmosphere, and a large number of metal ingots are thrown into it. In addition to these metals, various element powders are also added in proportion.
Runes on the furnace formed a rune array, and elemental energy was continuously injected into it, perfectly integrating various metals, elemental powders, etc. in the furnace.
Richard was making Kanrel magic steel. He was going to make a special steel golem, so he would naturally not use ordinary rune magic steel. Kanrel magic steel is light in weight and has high toughness. It also has good magic conductivity, memory, and self-repair, and is a top-quality material for making golems.
With the help of the alchemist's hand, Richard moved quickly. Before the metal cooled down, it was changed into various shapes by the alchemist's hand, and then quenched in the elemental spring water.
Elemental energy changes the properties of the metal, giving it magical properties.
Golems come in various shapes and styles, and their appearances vary depending on their uses. The golem he was going to make this time was closer to humans. Pieces of metal parts were forged.
In addition to these parts, Richard needed to make a small elemental furnace and a soul core. The most important things for the entire golem are the elemental furnace and the soul core.
The elemental furnace is the heart of the Iron Golem, providing energy for the Iron Golem, and the soul core is the soul of the entire golem, which is equivalent to a top-level artificial intelligence.
The top-level artificial intelligence is the Tower Spirit, whose intelligence is almost as high as that of real people, and in many fields, humans cannot compare with them.
Richard takes some time every day to make various parts of the Iron Golem, and the rest of the time is used to carve the soul crystal. High-quality soul crystals need to be carefully engraved. Once a mistake is made, it will affect the soul core.
In addition to part of the intelligence of the soul core given by the maker, the other part is the memory fragment of a life left in the soul crystal. These memory fragments are extracted, a large amount of useless impurities are removed, and then merged with the intelligence given by the arcanists, and finally a new soul intelligence is formed.
The higher the level of the soul crystal, the more complex the commands can be accepted, understood, and executed. The soul core of the golem puppet has no thoughts of its own.
The Supreme Arcane Council Alliance once produced a large number of low-level golems, clay golems and stone golems, and then wanted to sell these golems to those lords for mining, road construction, moving large objects and goods, etc.
In order to reduce the cost of production, in addition to constantly compressing the configuration, it is to produce enough to reduce the cost by quantity. But after a large number of golems were produced, it was found that this thing was not easy to use at all.
A clay golem can carry one to three tons of objects at a time, and it can be used to mine once for hundreds of people. Although the service life has become only more than ten years due to cost compression, it can create profits far exceeding its cost.
But when the arcane masters promoted these golems, they found that no one was interested at all. Those feudal lords were not interested in these clay golems at all.
They preferred golems with strong combat strength and wanted to use these golems to protect their own safety.
As for using clay golems to mine? They thought too much. They didn't consider the lives of those civilians at all. Clay golems are not cheap and need maintenance. Although they work hard, they are not cost-effective compared with manpower.
For those feudal lords, the manpower in the territory costs nothing. Just give them some food and they will work hard. Why should they buy golem puppets?
Golem puppets are expensive and need maintenance, while humans do not need wages or maintenance. In this case, they would be crazy to use golem puppets.
As a result, the Arcane Parliament Alliance's Moxiang promotion plan was aborted, and tens of thousands of clay golems could only be used for mining and transporting goods.
The only thing that is competitive with serfs is skeletons. Skeletons do not need food, and the raw materials are cheap and widely available. It was also after this incident that the Supreme Arcane Council did not make clay golems for a long time.
Richard carefully used a silver carving knife to engrave on the soul crystal. Under the silver carving knife, runes were carved out one by one on the hard soul crystal.
These runes are arranged in a peculiar rhythm, and eventually all the runes will be linked together to form a rune array.
Richard needs to weave a virtual personality, which is a treatment only for high-level custom golems. Of course, the use of this spell is not just these. It is said that in another vast plane, there is an ancient silver dragon who likes to steal white dragon eggs, and then use this spell to forcibly modify the white dragon's personality.
The original evil dragon's character was changed to neutral and kind, similar to the character of the silver dragon. In the past hundred years, hundreds of white dragons have been transformed by it.
It is said that the evil dragon lord Tiamat sent her favored ancient red dragon to trouble him, but was beaten back by the silver dragon. Before this, no one knew that the silver dragon was a magic addict, and its spell level was as high as level 27.
