"Professor, are you sure there aren't a few extra zeros at the end of this number?"
Fang Fan asked in surprise.
The professor had obviously expected Fang Fan's reaction. There was no trace of surprise on his face. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed at the horizon.
"This is a world, a world as big as Henan Province.
If you look at this number from a personal perspective, it may be huge, but when you put it in the context of the entire world, it becomes insignificant."
The professor retracted his arm, turned his head and said.
"This is a world where the giant array structure will cover the entire world. The number of runes that need to be drawn will be an astronomical number. Just one person or two people will not be able to draw them all until they die.
After rigorous calculations, 50,000 Talisman Masters are the bottom line for this project rather than the upper limit.
If there are not 50,000 Talisman Masters, the time required to complete the project will be unacceptable to us.
And if there are more, the speed of project completion can be further improved."
Fang Fan frowned and thought for a long time before continuing.
"It might have been impossible before, but now that it has been merged into Jianye, and Jianye has a population of hundreds of thousands, these 50,000 people can be spared, and there is no shortage of beast souls needed for job transfer.
It’s just that the newly transferred Talisman Master can’t do anything. Without training, it’s impossible to join the project.”
"We know this. In the early stage, we only need some experienced Talisman Masters, and then one will lead three of them to prepare the project first.
After this, after a few rounds, you can basically get on the right track.
And by dividing it into several batches in this way, the pressure on the territory's population mobilization can also be reduced a lot.
Besides, regardless of success or failure, these 50,000 Talisman Masters who participated in the entire process will have experience in large-scale projects.
Coupled with the study during the engineering period, you can definitely be called an elite talisman master, and then you can directly supplement it to equipment manufacturing, instrument manufacturing, civil engineering and other places that need people."
"If you include talent training, it won't be a loss. Fifty thousand Talisman Masters, okay, but what about these materials?
Adding up these supplies, even if Ning'an's warehouse is emptied, it won't be enough, right?
It can easily cost hundreds of tons or hundreds of millions of catties, and the grade required is not low."
"This is about saving as much as possible. Although this matryoshka technique can change quantitatively and qualitatively, it lowers the threshold of giant formation construction to the level that a low-level spell master can draw it, and the error tolerance rate is extremely high.
But on the contrary, the consumption of materials for advanced and giant arrays deployed under this technique is several times, even dozens or hundreds of times that of normal arrangements.
There is no way, the level is not enough, so I have to make up the quantity."
“Actually, if you think about it, it’s not much anymore.
You see, even I can't imprint runes in the void now, let alone those apprentices.
Therefore, when setting up the formation, you must first have something to carry the runes, and a whole giant formation must be constructed.
Ordinary places are just fine, using ordinary materials, but key nodes require slightly more advanced materials.
The last few crucial core formations need to be suppressed by divine soldiers.
You see, the large quantities are low-level materials, and then the quantity of other requirements decreases as the level increases."
"But even if it's a small amount, it's very economical, but it's not something Ning An can afford."
Fang Fan said with a wry smile.
“This plan is expected to take three years and will be completed simultaneously with the floating city.
We just need to slowly gather these resources batch by batch within three years. Judging from Ning'an's background and current transaction situation, it should not be difficult."
After thinking for a moment, Fang Fan slowly shook his head.
"It can be done, but it will at least occupy the entire output of Ning'an's third floor every year.
In addition to maintaining the normal operation of Ning'an, the remaining 70% must be invested in other projects. Sometimes unexpected situations must occur and the consumption of the war must be supported.
If a high-intensity war breaks out, Ning'an's resource situation will even fall into an awkward situation of being stretched thin."
The professor heard this and said nothing more, because this is indeed a problem that needs to be faced.
"It involves too much and I can't make a decision easily.
In a few days, I will convene the main people in charge of the military and political parties to conduct an evaluation meeting. At that time, the professor and my father will come together.
Abandon personal bias, evaluate the pros and cons and give the final answer.”
After Fang Fan said all this, he slowly exhaled and felt much more relaxed.
To be honest, it took Fang Fan a lot of effort to make this decision that was not a decision.
People are all gambling. If you win, you will be a young model in the club, if you lose, you will work in the sea.
Fang Fan actually prefers to carry out projects, contain a small world, and use this world for his own use. This is such a tempting idea.
"You are now a qualified lord. Ning'an is lucky to have you, and it is also lucky for hundreds of thousands of people."
Hearing the professor's words, Fang Fan smiled.
"The butt determines the head. Once you reach this position, you have to think more and be more cautious.
We are like walking on a tightrope, trembling with fear and not daring to relax at all.
Otherwise, it is very likely that a wrong decision will lead to an irreversible situation."
"Exaggerated."
"But we must always maintain this sense of crisis."
Looking at Fang Fan walking away, the professor seemed to remember that night.
Ning'an had just been established that night, and Fang Fan had only a hundred or so people under his command that night. Fang Fan was so young and at a loss that night, and the professor told Fang Fan a lot that night.
However, now Fang Fan has grown up and is a qualified real lord who has learned to use his rights and learn to take responsibility!
At this moment, the professor's eyes were filled with relief.
The kid...has grown up.
...........
As time passed, the Jin Emperor Corps located in the inner city of Xianyang finally communicated with the White Tiger Corps that had just entered.
Soon, the two legions worked together to pull out a cordon here to protect all the passages through which the Jin Emperor Legion had entered Xianyang City. Following this cordon, one could directly enter the depths of Xianyang City from the void passage. Twelve
In front of the golden man.
"See my lord."
"It's okay, get up."
Fang Fan was walking in Xianyang City, playing with a dragon-patterned jade pendant and a thumb ring in his hand, accompanied by Chen Yi.
"Commander Ye led his troops to clean up other areas and asked me to report to the lord in detail what happened during this period."
Fang Fan nodded and motioned for Chen Yi to continue.
"This time I gained a lot in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and most of them are in this space finger ring and dragon-patterned jade pendant.
I have made a table for these, with names, quantities, and levels recorded, and the Lord can check it out.
The remaining parts are mainly a few magic weapons, including the magic weapon flag in the hand of Army Commander Dian Wei and the seal of the King of Wei in the hand of Yao Changkang. In addition, there are..."
