Chapter 569 I Really Don’t Know

"This ship is much bigger than the first one launched by the Star Tower." Humboldt looked up at the ship under construction, which looked like it was lying down.

At this point, all sections of the starship have taken shape. With the existing material strength, allowing a larger and heavier ship to lie horizontally all the time would cause unacceptable deformation.

So they simply installed a stasis field in the workshop. Many arched columns were installed on the starship, continuously releasing a field based on [levitation].

It is unlikely to create a weightless environment, but both the ship and the personnel working in the force field environment can experience a low-gravity environment similar to that on the moon.

"Yes, the number of people to be transported next can be expanded to dozens. Taking into account the built-in space expansion spell, it is possible to accommodate hundreds of people after arriving at the star realm." Rorschach was still very proud when introducing it.

If the space expanded by magic can remain stable when passing through the transmutation dust layer flow, it may be possible to carry thousands of people in the future.

Of course, this only takes into account the space, not the propulsion load. Fortunately, the weight of transmutation dust as fuel is not large, and its efficiency is much higher than the chemical fuel in Rorschach's previous life.

Humboldt couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from liking it very much, just like the nature spirit liked the little mask.

"If it can really carry hundreds of people, all members of our entire Forest Tower can be sent up at once."

What? You, the earth repairers, are actually fugitives?! Rorschach was shocked.

Since the master was very interested in the starship, of course he needed to show the cost to calm him down. Currency was not very meaningful here. After cooperating with the dwarves, everything from raw materials to manufacturing was done within the organization or through bartering, or exchanging technology for resources. So what made Master Humboldt silent was the resource consumption.

"You guys, even use mithril and refined gold by the ton?" He glanced at the meter head and saw that it was only monthly. He almost blacked out.

"We installed a stasis field last month, so the consumption is a bit high." Rorschach explained. That being said, the consumption and throughput of resources by the industrial body is still beyond the imagination of the Forest Tower mages, even for mages like Humboldt who are of noble birth.

He is very knowledgeable. I have never seen this before.

In fact, the industries of Empire and Valois should be comparable, but they are the result of the calculation of several industrial clusters. Bavaria is special, with one district accounting for 70% of the industrial output value, and the remaining two districts are just happy to run with it. If there were no gas car factories located in the Munich-Nuremberg region, the proportion would be even more outrageous.

After visiting the space center, the expedition team is finally about to enter the elemental plane.

Caroline, who hadn't seen Rorschach for a while, was in charge of opening the portal. Humboldt was also concerned about the teleportation array to the plane: "Are there any restrictions on the teleportation array? Can a constant portal in the plane be built to transport bulk goods?" Now there are many specialties everywhere that he doesn't understand but needs to use, so the great wizard also has to ask humbly.

"The energy consumption of teleportation can be seen as the product of three factors: distance, flux, and duration. The current semi-constant teleportation array can only be used to discharge exhaust gas, and it is difficult to transport on a large scale. Otherwise, the [Summoning Technique] would not have been developed." Caroline also said: "Originally, the main plane can be seen as being blocked by the Transmutation Dust Drifting Layer, but the communication with other elemental planes is still the gods of the past, especially the gods related to the elements, who left some channels for us to use in order to expand their own domains. If the Transmutation Dust layer flow disappears one day, those kingdoms of the gods are converted into energy, and it is also a question whether the existing channels can be maintained."

"Don't worry about that. At worst we can build the passage ourselves." Rorschach always insisted on looking at things from a developmental perspective. Laminar flow cannot prevent people from going to the star realm. If the main road is open, why worry about the small roads?
"It's easy for you to say that. Yes, you are amazing. Nothing is too difficult for you."

Master Humboldt didn't know why there was some tension in the conversation between the two, so he quickly intervened in the conversation: "Where do we start?"

"You will know when you see it yourself."

The City of Plenty, the sky base where the Devourer clan resides.

Around the "Blessed Well", layers of fortresses and palaces floated. When the well discharged precious gases and some magical acids, they would be collected and classified, and the clan members would use them seriously with awe and gratitude, not daring to waste a penny. They would use these gases to feed the fungi in the fields and make fuel, glue and paint.

Now these little blue men have gotten rid of the stage of relying on animal skins and bones. They use polymers for skins and sails, which are lighter. The most luxurious buildings in the city are not only made of plastic, but also have hollow aluminum structural supports.

At their port, many other clans would come to exchange extremely valuable resources, including "fabrics given by the upper country", salt and spices, as well as all kinds of unheard-of things. The treasures and products of each tribe were dwarfed by each other, but fortunately the benevolent Great Sage King generously accepted all kinds of transactions.

The entire clan has entered civilization, as evidenced by the fact that all members have mastered the simplest common language. This is the royal decree strongly promoted by the Great Sage King, and everyone can only speak "Holy Words" on a daily basis. The royal decree also affects the clans that come to trade, causing more and more people to start learning and bargaining in the language of the main plane.

The reputation of the city's wealth spread throughout the large atmospheric mass area where it was located, but no one dared to covet the wealth of these chosen people, because everything was given by the strong in the main plane, and it was not only wealth, but also power.

Those hostile tribes that were dazzled by the temptation of material things had tried various attacks, but as long as the flag of the Devourer clan was raised and the symbol of the adult appeared on the battlefield, it meant that those advanced weapons would join the battle and the clan would win another victory. The crossbow in their hands alone had a much higher accuracy, range and power than a slingshot.

The poor slingshot was simply unable to penetrate the clan's ultimate battleship, which was so huge that it was a mobile fortress that could never crash. Even more pitiful were the challengers, who were either destroyed or forced to surrender. Of course, there were also those who voluntarily joined the "Devourer".
When did the obsolete airship get sent here? You guys are still using the plastic sheeting from the greenhouse? Rorschach was stunned when he revisited the place.

They were teleported to the place where Rorschach and Caroline had first visited, but this time they were no longer in the air, but indoors, in a hall open to the outside. They could see an old airship slowly passing by, with many special decorations mounted on it.

The plastic sheeting of the greenhouse was used by the clan members to create a solemn beauty, hanging down lightly from the high-hanging dome to the floor in white. Looking back, Rorschach's regular hexagonal rune was depicted as exceptionally large, with an altar below, where many little blue men were worshipping.

"It's a saint, the saint has arrived!" "Lord Rorschach!" "Hurry up and notify His Royal Highness the Great Sage King!" Suddenly, the little blue men started chattering in a mess, and they were actually arguing in their poor common language.

The members of Humboldt and Forest Tower looked at Rorschach with a subtle look: "The <Air Element Plane Ecology Report> didn't write about these interesting situations." They were clearly saying: Brother Rorschach, you're having a lot of fun here.
"Can I say that I haven't read any reports and don't know what happened here? Really, you have to believe me!" Rorschach's whole body was twisted, and he wished he could get to the bottom of the plane. Caroline definitely did it on purpose!
