Chapter 797 Dragon Nest Aerospace Base
call! call! call!
A huge flame burst out from the flame nozzle, spitting out azure tongues of flame, and rushed dozens of meters away in one breath.
The violent vibrations caused by the elemental fusion engine running at full power made the thrusters made of various rare metals such as fine gold and magic iron tremble slightly.
The huge floating city with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers slowly moved towards the west while trembling slightly.
The surrounding clouds and air currents were stirred up, and some birds perched on the floating city also flew high in panic.
However, they cannot fly directly above the floating city as usual and are intercepted by the shining magic barrier.
"The power system is operating normally and the operating power reaches 45%..."
"The propulsion system is operating normally. The nozzle temperature of the 12 core engines is 23,000 degrees. The propulsion speed will reach 300 kilometers per hour in 5 minutes..."
"The defense system is operating normally and the multi-functional defense program is being activated..."
"The energy system is operating normally and current energy usage is 23%..."
"The stability system of Longchao Air and Space Base is operating normally and data collection is in progress..."
"..."
Various reports came to Matthew's ears.
He glanced at the basic situation controlled by the core console, then looked at the researchers who were studying hard and trying to manipulate, and continued to say calmly:
"Conduct speed increase and deceleration experiments, strengthen structural strength testing, and carry out reinforcement and stability modifications in advance."
"Release the Feilong patrol aircraft to control the air area within 50 kilometers."
As Matthew's order was issued, various departments of the Dragon Nest Air Base began to operate quickly.
From the rocky area below the floating city, hundreds of stealth flying dragon patrol aircraft rushed out.
They were extremely fast and made very little noise. They shuttled through the clouds silently, leaving no trace behind.
These newly developed flying dragon patrol aircraft use the many crystallizations of major research institutes in the Gulf Territory and various relic technologies in the Ellasco plane.
New materials, new magic effects, new combinations.
This creates the powerful ability of these flying dragon patrol aircraft to be silent.
Looking carefully, the rocky surface flying out of the flying dragon patrol plane was equipped with a large phantom magic circle.
They have remained as they were before, but in fact, the Gulf Territory has fully excavated and transformed its internal space.
The production, storage, maintenance and other needs of Feilong inspection aircraft will be solved here.
The secret staff of the Gulf Leadership Army have been working here for quite some time.
Now, they will fully show their strength and give the enemies in the Gulf Territory more shock and damage!
The dark clouds in front were pushed away, and the huge violent force caused the floating city, which had finished warming up, to accelerate forward.
The huge movement was immediately noticed by soldiers and adventurers from the city-state below.
They saw the huge floating city slowly breaking through the shackles of the clouds and accelerating towards the distant sky.
When people look at the ground, they can only see about 10 to 20 kilometers.
But when you look at the sky, you can see a wider space.
But he couldn't chase the scene of the floating city leaving, he could only watch it go away.
Many adventurers swallowed their saliva, turned to look at the Dragoon No. 1 Golem passing by, and sighed without thinking:
"This floating city can actually move? Is Matthew the Great Arcanist so powerful?"
The companion on the side nodded without hesitation and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Of course, once you have more contact with the Bay Territory, you will understand how powerful Lord Matthew is!"
"Just think about the fact that the Gulf Territory can easily produce tens of thousands of these golems that can keep us in check, and you will understand."
The gray dwarf on the other side, who was wearing heavy armor and was only about one meter tall, heard the discussion between the two of them, took a sip of wine and sighed:
"This is nothing to the Gulf Territory. What you should go and see are the large-scale factories that the Gulf Territory has built in various places."
"Each factory area produces hundreds or thousands of tons of goods every day, supplying various daily necessities and commodities to the major territories and kingdoms throughout the northern continent."
The companion on the side walked over, looked back from the distant sky thoughtfully, and muttered with emotion:
"Stop talking, our combat mission is about to begin. This time we have to clean up the plague zombies, which is very troublesome and dangerous."
"..."
Just when everyone was discussing the next move and goal of the Gulf Territory.
Relevant news quickly reached the hands of Commander Cole Elf.
Several Cole Elf commanders who got the news couldn't help but look at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.
"That big piece of stone can really move? How is this possible!"
"The floating city is too huge and bulky. It must be driven by Mythra's core. Ordinary elemental fusion engines cannot shake it at all..."
"It would definitely be a big loss if we didn't take over the manufacturing technology of Mythra's core..."
"It's difficult to do. The core technology is mastered by the great arcanist Iolum, and there is also the vague involvement of the goddess of magic. Even its disciples cannot master it."
"With such an important energy core, they must have corresponding countermeasures."
"Before we fully analyze its technology, even if we can produce and manufacture it, we dare not use it..."
"Although Matthew is powerful, it is absolutely impossible for him to drive the damaged No. 1 floating city by himself. The only possibility is that he used the Misera Core!"
At this point in the discussion, the commanders of the Cole elves, who originally felt quite difficult, suddenly looked at each other.
They all saw incomparable heat in each other's eyes.
The reason is very simple. From a national level, the destructiveness of the Misera Core is beyond doubt, and the most core areas and facilities cannot use it.
However, this does not mean that the Cole elves do not want to obtain and use the Misera Core.
The Cole Elf Kingdom has obtained a lot of intelligence by studying the only Misera Core.
In addition to the consumption of maintenance and supervision, the Misera Core can always release a large amount of energy stably without any investment.
This kind of soul-stirring power and technology, even if you can't grasp its essence, just use its own ability, can also create a steady stream of wealth.
For most ordinary Cole elves, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they have a long life.
It can be said that there is nothing worth their desperate pursuit.
But for the ruling class of the Cole elves, the desire for more resources and power is endless.
They desire a longer life, study various technologies, and strive to improve their strength.
If possible, they also want to become gods who don't have to worry about birth, aging, illness and death!
After all, there are already pearls and jades in front of them, which intelligent creature would not be tempted?
In order to do this, the rulers of the Cole elves must master more resources and occupy more territory.
If they can get the core of Misera, let alone how much symbolic merit it has, the value it represents is enough for all the commanders present to eat up.
They were originally a little resistant, but they immediately started to use their brains.
"The Gulf Territory has invested so much money, definitely not just to stabilize the Ellasco plane, but to get something from it."
"The nearly 10 million city-state residents in the Ellasco plane should be the most desired resource for the Gulf Territory."
"If the Gulf Territory wants it, with Matthew's current identity and status, he should be able to take it all away."
"But there is no need to use the floating city. The combat puppets that the Gulf Territory has urgently produced can withstand the army of plague zombies."
"The combat effectiveness of these combat puppets is very strong, and they have many technologies from the Goblin Empire and the mechanical demiplane..."
"The combat puppet production department is stepping up research and development and production, and it is expected to take next year for large-scale investment. Join the combat troops..."
"Is the strength enough? According to the style of the Gulf Territory, these should only be experimental products at present, and they will become stronger and stronger in the future."
"We have completed the research and improvement of the elemental puppets and diamond golems. On average, they can at least reach the super-level peak and the legendary peak, which should be enough."
"This is not what we should worry about. Remind the guys over there to be careful of the floating city of the Gulf Territory..."
"It should be hopeless here. The city of the Gulf Territory has been built. Let's prepare for the lizardmen to go out. They are greedy enough!"
"Well, as long as they fight with the Gulf Territory, they will never go back!"
"..."
In their discussion, there is no plan to directly attack the Gulf Territory's defense line and strongholds.
So many combat units have been tried before, but they are obviously not very good. Instead, they have suffered heavy losses and basically lost the strength to fight again.
Although they have many layouts in the Ellasco plane, they have no confidence in their hearts that they can hold back the Gulf Territory.
The dark forest killer mace they prepared painstakingly was surrounded by the Gulf Territory without any time to play a role.
Judging from the current situation, if they do not launch those hidden dangers and means, they can hold on longer and prevent Matthew and the Bay Lord from seizing the opportunity to concentrate on cleaning up.
At the beginning, some Cole elf commanders may express "unhappiness".
They think that paddling without doing anything is simply disrespectful to the mission and task.
They will soon suffer losses from the Bay Lord.
Only the luckiest ones can escape, the slightly luckier ones will be killed, and the unlucky ones will be caught by the Bay Lord.
The endings of the latter two will crush the confidence of most Cole elves.
Because the Bay Lord is really not afraid and really doesn't care!
The floating city that keeps moving forward has attracted a lot of attention along the way.
From time to time, a bright light flashed in the sky, and that was the flying dragon patrol plane fighting.
No flying individual can break through their encirclement and patrol and get close to the location of the floating city.
From time to time, mechanical flying dragons flew down from the floating city and rushed towards the already set attack target.
More than 100 mechanical flying dragons showed a different fighting style.
Bombing enemies as soon as they meet them, firing as soon as they meet them.
They don't care about the consumption of ammunition at all!
Some Cole elf scouts who observed them immediately reported this abnormal phenomenon back.
Without waiting for them to react, the mechanical dragons blew up all the plague zombies and undead monsters they saw, and then returned to the sky happily.
Through long-distance observation, the Cole elves' scouts saw a scene that shocked them.
The mechanical dragons that had just returned to the floating city flew out again.
"No way? They set off so soon?"
"How is this possible?"
"So many bombs, so many supplies..."
"This is not the key. The key is that they can get supplies anytime and anywhere without flying back to the base."
As soon as these words came out, all the Cole elf scouts were dumbfounded.
They knew the mechanical dragons very well, and even calculated how many bombs they could carry, how far they could fly, and how wide their attack radius was.
It can be said that if the Gulf Territory strengthened the mechanical dragons, they would be able to get the corresponding data updates in time.
The reason why they paid so much attention to the mechanical dragons was because of their powerful bombing destructive power and their terrifying means of attacking directly from the sky.
But who knew that the Gulf Territory's strengthening of the mechanical dragons did not mainly strengthen these two aspects.
Instead, they used an unprecedented method to raise the overall threat level of the mechanical dragons to a stronger level.
As they expected, the mechanical dragons, without the bomb limit, showed a cross-era destructive firepower.
All the undead monsters and plague zombies they found would have several heavy bombs dropped on their heads without any awareness.
Even though these two were not ordinary creatures, and their survival and defense capabilities were quite good, they still could not withstand such a devastating bombing.
The flames and shock waves of destruction easily swept them clean.
Most of the individuals that occasionally survived were incomplete. Even if they could use the corpses of other monsters for some "remediation", they would not pose much threat after all.
The commanders of the Gulf Territory in the Dragon Nest Aerospace Base also began to gradually become familiar with the convenience and speed of sending mechanical dragons to bomb various areas.
When the opponent had almost no power to fight back, they had only one task.
Improve efficiency!
In this case, the pressure naturally came to the logistics department.
In the case of a small number of people and the need to use engineering golems, they decisively applied for a part of the console's computing power.
As a result, some fully automatic or semi-automatic golem engineering machinery began to break free from the constraints of the driver and operate with higher efficiency.
Even in this case, the operating speed of the golem engineering machinery still could not keep up with the needs of the mechanical dragon.
Therefore, new tool people were quickly produced and sent over.
The new optimized operation procedure was also quickly in place.
There were many twists and turns and difficulties in the entire operation process.
The style of the Gulf Leader is to solve problems when there are problems, and solve problems when there are problems, and do not continue to accumulate them in the future.
The entire operation process, the problems found, and the ways to solve them will be fully recorded.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to formulate better operating standards and procedures.
These operating standards and procedures are not absolute, and they will be continuously improved and optimized through the accumulation of research and use experience in the future.
This part of the implicit improvement naturally comes from the use of the console.
In terms of information storage, data calculation, efficiency optimization, information transmission, etc., the console can save a lot of time and labor costs.
It is not as eye-catching as various weapons, but it has been playing a stable role and quietly changing the work process of the people in the Gulf Leader.
Matthew always uses these tools as long as they can be used.
Of course, Matthew has also prepared the corresponding countermeasures and multiple second-hand preparations.
He will not choose to blindly believe or promote in order to use various tools.
The Gulf Territory needs a little adaptation, and people also need a little growth.
Whether it is knowledge, system, thought, or individual, a little progress is needed.
The floating city that was bombed all the way made many Cole elf scouts feel deep "despair".
They reported all the data, and then gathered together to discuss with emotion:
"Not using the floating city to advance the battle, but using it as a carrier to strengthen combat units, is indeed in line with the style of the Gulf Territory."
"How do you know that the Gulf Territory will not use the combat power of the floating city itself?"
"That's right, the Gulf Territory will not leave any weaknesses, and may have prepared traps early."
"If you think about it this way, it is very possible..."
"If other great arcanists also master the Gulf Territory's fighting methods, then the floating city of Netheril will have more terrible destructive power..."
For a while, all the Cole elf scouts were silent.
They often said that not being afraid of the development of the Netheril Empire was to lay mines for the Cole elves.
Whatever technology they want, they can get it quite easily.
If one year doesn't work, then two years.
If two years don't work, then several years.
It is precisely because of this that even if the Gulf Territory set some obstacles for them during the transaction.
The Cole elves still believe that behind the Gulf Territory, there have always been some great arcanists in the Cole Elf Kingdom.
The style of doing things may change.
But the underlying logic will not change.
But this does not mean that the Kingdom of Kor Elf can "tolerate" the Netheril Empire to an unlimited extent.
The rise of the Gulf Territory, the various weapons and equipment and magical creations produced and created.
It has already brought enough and far-reaching impacts to the entire northern continent.
Fortunately, the big guys in the Council of the Kingdom of Kor Elf are still quick-witted and have never thought of "directly confronting" the Gulf Territory.
The Gulf Territory is also quite "sensible" and has only tried a few contacts and confrontations many times.
The "dominant position" of the Kingdom of Kor Elf has not been greatly affected and shaken.
Many forces are waiting for the Kingdom of Kor Elf to take action.
After all, in the eyes of most lords and nobles, as the overlord for thousands of years, the Kingdom of Kor Elf must also have corresponding technical reserves and foundation.
But the Kingdom of Kor Elf really can't do this.
In this case, once the Kingdom of Kor Elf takes action and fails to achieve a crushing victory, it will inevitably be questioned in various ways.
With Matthew's current identity, Yaya's strong strength, and his increasingly large army.
Whether the Gulf Territory fails or loses, it will not be destroyed immediately.
Based on the combat power shown by the Gulf Territory, other lords and nobles will soon think of various weapons and equipment.
Once they think that they have mastered these powerful weapons and equipment, they will no longer be powerless when facing the Kingdom of Kor Elf.
Then, their ambitions will begin to grow!
With sharp weapons in hand, the desire to kill will arise!
The Kingdom of Kor Elf will not allow such a situation to occur, so it will continue to control the situation.
Although the parliament rejected the mechanization of full-power golems, it did not prohibit this process.
Other territories and nobles who can see the benefits and prospects will naturally strive to develop in this regard.
When time is long enough, the Kingdom of Kor Elf will rely on its large population, many high-quality talents, and more advanced magic technology.
Naturally, it will catch up with and surpass the Gulf Territory in this regard.
When that time comes, the strength and ability shown by the Kingdom of Kor Elf will be stronger.
Those who were originally shaken and questioned will become supporters of the Kingdom of Kor Elf again.
Naturally, someone will speak for the Kingdom of Kor Elf.
Even if they are used to being exploited, as long as they suck enough blood from their compatriots, they will feel sincerely satisfied and work hard to maintain it.
This is the strategy of the Kingdom of Kor Elf facing many enemies that they cannot defeat for the time being.
They have succeeded many times, and this time will naturally be no exception.
However, the Netheril Empire is an exception!
The Netheril Empire, which is already strong enough, has been in the limelight for dozens or hundreds of years before.
If it weren't for the retirement of the Great Archmage Iorum, the struggle for power and division among the Great Archmages.
The pressure and means of the Kingdom of Kor Elf would definitely be more extreme than now.
Fortunately, the Great Archmages who have mastered powerful forces are still using the original thinking and logic to deal with problems.
The Kingdom of Kor Elf took action in time again, greatly cutting off and preventing the birth of young Great Archmages.
And through various means, they completely divided and disintegrated the possibility of cooperation among the Great Archmages.
Even, they paid a huge price to assist the Great Archmages in perfecting and improving the art of longevity!
That's right, the immortality technique created by the Great Arcanist Iolum also had a great "contribution" from the Kingdom of the Cole Elf.
However, this immortality technique, which was perfected and improved to a certain level by the Kingdom of the Cole Elf and is very useful, has an extremely terrible flaw!
This flaw is the insidious backhand left by the Kingdom of the Cole Elf!
Giving other intelligent life "immortality" is the "core technology" for the Kingdom of the Cole Elf to become the overlord!
This is also why the proposal to mechanize the golem was terminated by the parliament. Although it caused some shocks, it ultimately could not affect the overall situation.
Every Cole Elf parliamentarian and strong man is the real vested interest and the strongest base of the Cole Elf Kingdom!
Matthew, who was patrolling the Dragon Nest Aerospace Base, knew nothing about all this in the Kingdom of the Cole Elf.
However, even if he knew, he would only sigh that the old Y-biters were really playing with flowers, and he would not invest more energy.
The destruction of the Kingdom of the Cole Elf was doomed, and Matthew never changed this process, but instead kept adding momentum!
At this moment, Yaya's clear voice reached Matthew's ears:
"Ah! We're here!"
"A fight is about to break out!"
