The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 577: Glory Floating City
After fabricating the personality in advance, Richard began to instill his ideas into it.

A newborn consciousness is like a blank sheet of paper. It will become whatever you write on it.

And to be on the safe side, Richard added Wuxiang's name to the new canon. The power of faith will make the gods develop in the image that the believers believe in. Although this influence is useless for a creature like Richard who has a mature personality and strong mental power, it is like brainwashing for a nascent consciousness like Wuxiang.

Less than a month after Wuxiang was tamed, Wuxiang began to call Richard "My Lord".

After confirming that Wuxiang's consciousness was stable, Richard began to test Wuxiang. These tests were mainly to restore the enchantment, and the results made Richard quite satisfied.

After gaining consciousness, Wu's memory speed relative to enchantment increased significantly.

The enchantment that previously required swallowing more than ten times could now be memorized in just one or two times. Richard also observed that there was a direct correlation between the speed of Wuxiang's memory and the size of his body.

The larger the Wuxiang's body, the faster its memory speed.

This also gave Richard a somewhat crazy idea.

"If Wuxiang's body is grown big enough, can Wuxiang be used as the main structure of the floating city?"

If Wuxiang is cultivated to the size of a floating city, then the enchantment on the floating city will definitely not be a problem for Wuxiang. If successful, Richard will gain a living war fortress that can repair itself and transform into a variety of weapons.

“It’s an idea worth a try.”

Richard wrote in his notebook.

However, judging from the current situation, this plan cannot be implemented for the time being. First, Wuxiang's consciousness has just been formed not long ago, and he lacks sufficient memory and belief to help him resist mental attacks, so it is easy for him to go wrong on the battlefield. Second, Richard does not need such a living war fortress at all.

To bully the natives, an ordinary floating city is enough.

After arranging Wuxiang, Richard returned to the laboratory. At this moment, the material speculation in the laboratory had stopped working, and the black smoke in the force field barrier had expanded a lot compared to before Richard left.

"My Lord, do I have a new brother?"

A spiritual wave came from the black smoke, and its intensity was more than one level higher than Wuxiang.

"Did you feel it?" Richard asked in surprise, looking at the black smoke.

"How could I not feel it when you canonized my brother?"

Richard nodded slightly: "You feel it well, your brother has awakened."

"Is he like me?"

"It's a little different, but the life situation is similar."

"Can I meet him?"

"Okay, but don't scare it."

Richard snapped his fingers, and the force field barrier that trapped or restricted the black smoke was instantly eliminated.

"Have you given him a name? What should I call him?"

"His name is Wuxiang, and his honorific title is the One of All Changes."

"The Changeler... I like this name. Compared to his name, my name is a bit annoying."

There is some loss in the black smoke spiritual message.

"Hmm?" Richard scratched his head, a trace of confusion on his face, "God's evil beast, the devourer of all things, I think these names are quite domineering. I even consulted with a few bishops about this."

"…You should call me Eldridge."

As the first personality created by Richard, Aldridge's personality is unexpectedly humane. After gaining the ability to move freely, it has its own thinking and aesthetics based on the basic beliefs input by Richard.

During the communication, Richard sometimes even felt that he was not fabricating a consciousness, but sealing a soul in Aldridge's body.

Especially when Aldridge transforms.

Thinking of this, Aldridge transformed into a humanoid creature beside Richard. It looked like Richard, but also had some characteristics of a hobgoblin. It was an image created by Aldridge himself.

"If you don't have any tests, I'll go find my brother. I think it must be very confused now, and I should be able to help it a little."

Richard nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Go."

As he watched Aldridge disappear from his sight, the gentle smile on Richard's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a kind of ice-cold rationality.

“Are you feeling lonely already?”

Richard took out a magic book from his pocket, opened the page with the pen, and wrote:

"On the 972nd day of the creation of the personality, Aldridge developed an extremely strong curiosity about his brother. He speculated that the artificial personality had developed unnecessary emotions."

……

With the removal of the abyss pollution, the entire goblin world ushered in a period of prosperity.

The slums that were once overcrowded have now been completely demolished, and a tall building is being erected every day on the vast land.

At the same time, the emergence of alchemy led to an explosive growth in goblin technology.

It must be said that the technology accumulated by the goblins over the past ten thousand years was simply prepared for alchemy. The moment alchemy appeared, the technology accumulated by the goblins over the past ten thousand years was sublimated. Countless things were created every day in the goblin world, and the patent office of the Miracle Order was crowded every day.

Along with the technological explosion, there is also the innovation of machinery. In the past, machines using crystal technology were already quite high-end products. But after the emergence of alchemy, crystal technology has become an ordinary thing, and alchemy machinery has become the new darling of factories.

As for the pure steam machines in the past?

These antiques have become collectibles and works of art and have almost no use value anymore.

Brand new machines, brand new factories, the basic alchemy industry level of the goblin world has even reached the level of wizards. No, it is even higher than that of wizards.

Although Richard added a patent system to the church to make goblins who discovered new technologies more willing to share their technologies, he underestimated one thing, that is, the piety of faith.

No one who has access to alchemy will be short of money. Each of these mechanical masters and modification masters is sought after by factory owners.

Rather than obtaining patents and making a fortune, the goblins would rather use technology as a sacrifice to offer to him, the god who saved the world.

In the pyramid of needs, they have gotten beyond the bottom level of need-I and they are already pursuing self-actualization.

Thirty years after the end of the Abyss War, the goblin world no longer had the lifeless and doomed look it had during the Abyss War. After thirty years of development, the whole world has become full of vitality.

"Hey, Jack, why are you still wandering around the streets? The floating city has ascended, why don't you go home and see it?"

"what's that?"

"Floating City, have you not been watching the crystal screen recently? Those big shots up there have made a big thing!"

"Oh, now I remember what you said. But doesn't that thing go up to heaven tomorrow?"

"What do you mean tomorrow? Just go home today. I heard from the priest in the factory that they have made spare parts."

"Parts? Are you talking about the ones made by Old Blind? That's incredible. I saw the parts. They are very complicated. Ordinary people can't make them at all."

"Of course not. Otherwise, how can the higher-ups say that they have been researching for thirty years? Go home quickly."

"So where are you going?"

"I have to go to the factory for duty. The damn shift schedule has been delayed until today."

"Haha, I'll just watch the recording when I get back. I'll go back first."

Two old goblins were crossing each other on the street, and in the sky, the red sun was rising slowly.

In the floating city research institute, tens of thousands of goblin technicians are conducting the final inspection of a giant structure with a diameter of ten kilometers.

After the breakthrough in power reactor technology, the remaining technologies were just copycats for the goblins. But even so, it took the goblins twenty years to make the remaining parts.

The manpower and material resources consumed in this process are enough to drain any universal empire. If there is no world to support it, before this thing is built, the angry people and the people whose interests are damaged will work together to overthrow the emperor who promotes this project.

"The power reactor has been inspected and no abnormalities were found."

"The converter is complete, no abnormalities found."

"Three anomalies were found in the energy transmission pipeline and the pipeline is currently being replaced."

……

The goblin technicians' voices continued to emanate from the crystal communicator, and the launch room was filled with researchers and cardinals.

And in front of him, Richard was playing with the buttons in his hand boredly.

"Anson, you are the most suitable person to press this button." Richard turned his head to the technical bishop Anson beside him and said, "You are in charge of the entire project. After I solved the problem of the power reactor, I have not contributed any more."

"My Lord, this button must be pressed by you." Anson shook his head and said, "Without your technology, we would not be able to develop this thing even if we studied it for another ten thousand years.

And you are a sage, our savior. Only when you press this button can the sacredness of the floating city be revealed."

"sacred……"

Although he was already used to these superstitious words, Richard couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard that the floating city was sacred.

The floating city only brings war, slavery, and destruction, and these things have nothing to do with the sacred in any way.

"Anson, I told you this thing is a weapon, right?"

"You did."

"Then why do you think this thing is sacred?"

Anson said seriously, "Because it is called the Glory Floating City, its function is to spread your glory."

"...Okay." Richard turned and looked at the cardinals behind him.

"I'm curious what you think about the war?"

Franken stood up and bowed slightly to Richard, saying, "My Lord, we are all your loyal servants. If you need governance, we will be officials and clerks. If you need war, we will be generals and soldiers."

Richard looked at Franken deeply and didn't ask any more questions.

"All equipment has been checked and all faults have been corrected."

Listening to the voice on the communicator, Richard stood up, holding the communicator, and said calmly: "Then I declare that the first take-off of the floating city has officially begun."

As he said that, Richard pressed the red button.
