Chapter 141 Set it for one hundred and eighty shields?
"The technology for building a mage tower can be kept secret, and there is no need to leak it, right?"
Zou Peng asked with some concern.
Mo Lan's face was solemn and he was deep in thought. Seeing this, Zou Peng suddenly became a little worried.
"Is it really going to cause technology leakage? Then we should build it ourselves. The slower it is, the slower it is. It doesn't matter. The Mage Tower is not the other one..."
"No, I'm just thinking about how I can give an example so that you, a person who knows nothing about mages, can understand what I want to say."
"emmmmm...."
"Let's take an inappropriate example. An assembly line worker who assembles a computer. Will this person come into contact with all the components of the entire computer and pass them through his hands?"
"yes."
"But you said that this worker can learn how to make chips. If you don't say he can learn it and steal it, can he copy it?"
"Obviously not."
Mo Lan shrugged.
"Isn't that the end of it? If I can't even teach you something step-by-step, why do you think they can learn it by helping me assemble it?
If such a person really exists, then I can only say that he does not need to participate in the assembly at all and can build the spell tower by himself.
You have nothing to do to join in the fun, why are you copying mine?"
"Oh, that makes me feel more at ease. What about the technical issues?
Are there still any technical issues?"
"I have mastered about 6% of the 100% technology of the Mage Tower. Of course, 5% of these 6% can be said to be one of the core technologies of the entire Mage Tower."
Seeing Zou Peng stunned, Mo Lan immediately reacted and explained.
"Although I only mastered 6%, with the critical 5% support, I still have no problem building a prototype of a functioning mage tower.
And I can slowly study the rest and add it bit by bit, and the final result will be a qualified mage tower."
"Oh, can you finish speaking in one breath? It scares me. I thought you told me you couldn't make it at this point."
Zou Peng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I will carry out everything according to the original plan.
Four thousand more people were extorted than expected. The scale of these guilds has really expanded too fast.
But it just so happens that this way the manpower will be much more abundant. If the work is divided into three shifts overnight, the completion time of the Mage Tower can be much earlier.
This way there will be fewer variables.”
Just as Zou Peng was about to leave, Mo Lan quickly stopped him.
"By the way, please order a little more mercury, I will use it to build the mage tower.
In addition, this kind of thing may become a strategic material for a long time in the future. If you have spare money, you can save a little. The price will definitely rise. It is a question of how much or how little.
If you can buy one or two mines at a low price, it’s not impossible to consider.”
Mo Lan didn't know if there was any material that could replace mercury as the material for the constant spell model.
If it is available and its performance exceeds that of mercury, then the price of mercury will rise slightly, which is not a big deal.
But if it exists, but its performance is not as good as mercury, or if there is no substitute, then the value of mercury will skyrocket, and it will even directly become a strategic material reserve that major guilds fiercely compete for.
Because if mercury is the best or the only one, then the reserve of mercury often means the upper limit of the guild's combat power.
This is Mo Lan's speculation.
Zou Peng raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Mo Lan in surprise, then turned and left.
After Zou Peng left, Mo Lan began to conduct an inspection.
1. The main building material of the Mage Tower: white stone mine, which is rich in reserves and has substitutes.
2. The material of the constant spell model: mercury. No substitute has been found yet, and the order has been arranged.
3. Element pool design: The design has been completed and construction can begin.
4. Protective shield type spell selection: Not selected yet...
After a simple sorting, the next things needed were clear at a glance. As for the shield, Mo Lan looked at all the spells he currently had and began to choose.
First-level spells: Fireball, Wind Blade, Gale, Resist Ring of Fire, Bear's Fortitude, Stoneskin, Earth Wall, Psychic Shock, Earth Wall, Sharpness, Spell Hands, Energy Channel
Second Ring: Water Shield, Fire Wall, Cat's Grace, Swamp
Three rings: Purple Flame, Dark Fireball, Elemental Suppression, Furnace of Flesh and Soul
Fourth Ring: Flash, Earth Splitting
Mo Lan looked at the records on his notepad quietly. There were many types of spells, including many defensive spells, but there was only one spell that could hold up a shield.
Water shield!
When the choice is narrowed down to one, there is actually no choice left.
The second-level magic water shield!
"The second ring."
Mo Lan looked at the water shield spell model and murmured to himself.
"Leveraging the characteristics of the water element, flexibility and power release, the biggest advantage is that single-point attacks will be dispersed to the entire shield with the ripples of water. If you want to break the shield, you must reach the upper limit of the entire shield's power. There is no such thing as
Weak points and the like.
But again, the biggest advantage is also the biggest disadvantage. It is enough to face single-point attacks from blunt weapons. Sharp attacks such as bows, arrows, crossbows, and daggers may not be able to disperse the force in time and directly break at a single point.
Like popping a bubble, the whole thing shattered."
Mo Lan pondered for a long time.
"Forget it, let's start with a water shield spell model. At this stage, there should be no players who can break the magic group-level water shield spell.
After this period of time passes, I can also think of ways to find a few more shield spells with various characteristics and strong defense, or I can simply create my own and tailor one for the mage tower.
When the time comes, the mage tower will continue to set up shields, dozens or hundreds of shields, and watch others fight. After beating one, I will set up another one."
When Mo Lan thought about this scene, he felt a sense of security all over his body, and his research was immediately full of motivation.
"The heart of the mage tower, the energy center element pool, and the shield water shield of the mage tower.
These are the only two things that need to be constant at the moment, so... let’s get started.”
Mo Lan murmured to himself, and players from the nine major guilds gradually arrived.
There are a total of 450 career changer warriors, most of whom are stuck on the edge of elite level and unable to break through.
Four thousand and fifty level five players with extra strength points. Although they have not changed jobs, their strength is at least thirteen, fourteen, or even fifteen. Among ordinary people, they are a group of strong men.
The stones that ordinary people cannot move are just weighed in their hands and carried away.
And the news that Mo Lan was going to build a mage tower gradually spread on the forum.
The topic in the mage forum was quickly occupied by the mage tower. Many mages contacted Mo Lan and asked if the mage tower was really being built. When Mo Lan saw it, he edited a post and posted it.
"On a whim, I built a mage tower for you to study spells. Do you think it's a good idea?"
