Lin Yun pondered for a bit and felt that it was about time. He had to first suppress these two old b * stards to have a chance of continuing the discussion, and it looked like the results were pretty good.
"I'm looking for the two of you to participate in a large research project, the goal of which is to build a magic battleship!"
"Magic battleship? What magic battleship? "
"A battleship that relies purely on mana to drive, has a powerful skeleton, a new weapon system, a battleship's energy shield, can travel through space, and can fight in the void. It's a battleship comparable to a Heaven Rank powerhouse, a magic battleship. It's not like those floating battleships or steel battleships.
Noscent's floating battleships could at most be used as transportation tools. As for the best steel battleships, if they met a Void Behemoth in the endless void, they would only end up being eaten like jelly beans.
"The weakest magic battleship I want to build would only need a few Great Mages to control it and it would display the power of a few High Mages. The strongest would need a group of Archmages to use the magic battleship to get rid of a Void Behemoth!"
After saying that, Lin Yun released a few law runes and formed a three-dimensional phantom on the crystal table. It looked like a curved battleship with a large amount of information marked on it. From the weapon system to the overall layout, everything was there, but it was only a general idea.
This kind of magic battleship would be a relatively famous type of magic battleship in the future. Its fighting power would be comparable to a 6th Rank Heaven Mage, but its burst power would be equivalent to over a hundred 6th Rank Heaven Mages joining hands. An ordinary Void Behemoth of the same rank would be killed in one hit.
Lin Yun gave Fantasia and Pinocchio a rough explanation of this magic battleship, and the two's expressions changed, as if they had seen a ghost. Although Lin Yun's introduction was rough, there were many key points, including data, and even the required materials.
Seeing Pinocchio and Fantes' shocked expressions, Lin Yun let out a sigh of relief. It would be nonsense to craft such a magic battleship with the current level of technology. Just the materials alone were enough to limit this possibility. The materials needed for this magic battleship could be easily found ten thousand years later, but it was impossible to gather all of them now.
Less than 20% of these materials could be found now, or substitutes could be found. The rest were all new materials that could only be discovered or manufactured in the future.
It was just that Lin Yun clearly remembered this kind of magic battleship design. It was enough to intimidate Pinocchio and Fantes. In any case, they wouldn't be able to find any problems with it, nor would they be able to find any flaws. With the current technological research, this design couldn't be found to be wrong, and the parameters could be calculated. It seemed that this was the future trend of development.
Pinocchio and Fantasia gathered together and the two started calculating and verifying it. They quickly finished the verification and got the result that this battleship was definitely a great weapon of mass destruction. Getting rid of a Level 46 Void Behemoth wouldn't be a problem. Just the battleship's Magic Shield was terrifyingly powerful. Using Fusion Shields to support such a huge shield, although the energy consumption was terrifying, the defensive ability was something that even a 7th Rank Heaven powerhouse would find hard to break.
Pinocchio and Fantasia were thoroughly fascinated. The two of them gathered together and only that pile of data was left in their eyes. Lin Yun smiled and left after leaving a note.
He didn't need to worry that these two old scoundrels wouldn't take the bait if he created a beautiful illusion. He didn't need to say anything, they would come knocking on his door. He wouldn't be able to make them not participate in the research. As for the price of letting them preside over the Magic Array research? What price was there to pay? Letting them join was already very kind of him.
After leaving Pinocchio and Fantasia's laboratory, Lin Yun posted a recruitment notice in the Starry Sky College in the name of the Gilded Rose. Every year, a large number of alchemy shops would come to the Starry Sky College to recruit alchemists, and the Gilded Rose had recruited a few times. The benefits of the Gilded Rose were good, and they could research many new things. Whether it was for making money or for advancing in alchemy, it was a good choice.
But this time, the direction of the Gilded Rose's recruitment was clearly restricted. They had to have decent research on mana sources, materials, and large-scale alchemy machinery. Moreover, the Alchemists they were recruiting were mainly Master Alchemists. Great Alchemists were only assistants.
Lin Yun returned to the Gilded Rose and pondered what other things he would need to build a magic battleship. He could solve the problem of materials. The materials produced in the Raging Flame Plane, Noscent, and the Abyss could definitely meet the requirements of building a low level magic battleship. Moreover, he could bring back a lot of the most important steel materials from the Puppet Plane. Those piles of puppets in the Puppet Graveyard were all Magic Iron materials. They could be melted back into the furnace to be refined, which was a lot more practical than ores.
The most important thing was that the puppets in the Puppet Plane were almost harmless. As long as he didn't station himself there and didn't go there many times, there wouldn't be any danger. The materials he brought back once would be enough to build a dozen magic battleships.
Lin Yun could also get a lot of the materials for some of the more crucial areas, like the core area. Using Black Patterned Silver was the best choice.
The materials were taken care of, but the construction would require a group of alchemists. Lin Yun only knew the general direction. There were too many things to take care of in the construction of a magic battleship. Every aspect had to be coordinated in order to display the power of the magic battleship. This wasn't something a single person could handle. Even that crazy Fantes could only build a hundred-meter-long magic battleship by himself at his peak.
The construction of the magic battleship had already been planned. After all, it was already the start of Noscent's Planar Colonization Era. In order to build the Shelter Tower, all kinds of resources were needed, and Noscent simply couldn't provide them. Most of the resources could only be found in other planes. If they wanted to seize the initiative and occupy more planes, magic battleships were the best choice.
This was verified by history. Noscent's Planar Colonization Era could only be considered the beginning, but the true start of the era would be when magic battleships started conquering planes on a large scale. A magic battleship fleet only needed a few Heaven Rank powerhouses to lead it to conquer a plane in a short time.
A plane on the level of the Raging Flame Plane would only take a month to be conquered ten thousand years later. Why would they waste so much time? The final result would be peaceful coexistence with the Raging Flame Beastmen.
A team of enchanted warships was a must. In this new resource plane, they must be stationed near the entrance to that plane for protection. Void Behemoths would almost never appear in that place, and it was the other factions that had to be protected. After all, according to records, this plane was discovered at the beginning of the Great Planar Colonization Era.
The next day, Pinocchio and Fantasia killed their way to the Gilded Rose. Their eyes were red and they looked very tired, but they were very excited. After seeing Lin Yun, they rushed over and grabbed Lin Yun 'arms.
"Mafa Merlin, hurry up and give me the specific data! What about the material parameters? What about the large mana reactor's specific data? What is the fuel? Mana crystals? How could something with huge attributes like mana crystals be possible? That's a mana crystal? The production of mana crystals is very rare … "
"What about the weapon system's specific parameters? A high-intensity binding Magic Pulse? But that kind of weapon can only guarantee its power within a thousand kilometers, it's useless beyond that … "
Lin Yun squinted as he looked at Pinocchio and Fantasia, who were acting like crazy gamblers, and waved his hand.
"Can you two let go of me first?"
Pinocchio and Fantasia awkwardly smiled and let go of him, standing on the side, but they were still afraid that Lin Yun would disappear again.
"You two, I only provided a way of thinking. You two will be the core of the magic battleship research team. I have a few ideas for the weapon system …
"But, are you two planning on coming to the Gilded Rose?"
Pinocchio's and Fantasia's eyes turned red from Lin Yun's words.
"Don't waste time, hurry up and say it!"
"Don't waste time, hurry up and say it!"
Lin Yun took out two contracts and placed them in front of the two.
"You two, sign the contract first. After all, what I gave you yesterday is already our Gilded Rose's secret …"
The contract was half a meter long and had a lot of clauses on it, but Pinocchio and Fantasia didn't even glance at it and directly signed their magic imprints.
They didn't even look at the contents of the contract. Apart from the clause that they couldn't leak the Gilded Rose's secrets, there was also a clause that stated that the contract would last for ten thousand years.
Moreover, they didn't see that the signature on the contract didn't belong to the Gilded Rose, but rather Lin Yun's own magic imprint. This meant that as long as Lin Yun didn't die, they would have to work for the Gilded Rose for ten thousand years.
In fact, in history, these two old bastards had only lived for more than eight thousand years.
Lin Yun couldn't help smiling as he looked at the contract turning to ashes.
Being a research lunatic was truly good. Research could be used to make a living. Giving them a direction would be enough for them to research for at least a millennium. They wouldn't care about the issue of remuneration, nor would they care about anything else, as long as they had research, it would be enough.
With these two old scoundrels, he could let go of the magic battleship research. As long as he gave them a direction, they would be able to continue their research. With the magic battleship, many plans could be implemented.
After recruiting Fantasia and Pinocchio, Lin Yun continued recruiting in the name of these two old scoundrels. Although these two weren't very popular among the higher-ups of the Starry Sky College, they were still first-rate Artisans and were very powerful. Recruiting some Master Alchemists in their name was easier than he had imagined, and with the addition of the Gilded Rose, the recruitment process was very smooth.
After signing contracts with all the newly recruited alchemists, Lin Yun led them to the Raging Flame Plane.
The Raging Flame Plane had already stabilized. Ever since the Planar Origin Burst and the 73rd God jumping out of the Holy Mountain to cause trouble, the Raging Flame Plane had greatly changed. Not only had the originally buried resources been dug to the surface, but the mana had also become richer and more active. Not only were there more resources than before, but there was also a large amount of resources being nurtured.
Every force was eating until their mouths were dripping with oil. Even the Raging Flame Beastmen were very satisfied with their current state. After fighting for a few dozen years, the Raging Flame Beastmen's population had been reduced by half, and their overall strength was a lot weaker than before. The Raging Flame Beastmen also knew that if they kept fighting, they would definitely be exterminated. Now that they could coexist peacefully, and it was even better than before, there was nothing unacceptable about it.
Human potions, human food, human Magic Tools … All aspects were affecting the Raging Flame Beastmen. Before humans appeared, many Raging Flame Beastman tribes would starve to death every year, and their overall strength wouldn't increase, resulting in even more infants dying prematurely every year.
The Four Seasons Plain's Steel City could already be said to be the largest city in the Raging Flame Plane. More than half of the transactions between the Raging Flame Beastmen and humans took place in Steel City. All kinds of resources produced by the Raging Flame Plane went to the Gilded Rose, while the Gilded Rose traded the human world's output.
A piece of high-purity mithril ore could be exchanged for a year's worth of food for a Beastman family in Steel City. A kilogram of sun-dried herbs could be exchanged for ten mature Pig Beastmen.
If they were seriously injured, they would go to Steel City to buy potions. If they couldn't break through, they would go to Steel City to buy potions. They didn't know how valuable the ore would be, so they would go to Steel City.
After a few years, the Raging Flame Beastmen, who could only rely on hunting for a living, started to get used to having an endless supply of food. The Beastman Warlocks, who only knew how to use powerful beast bones to increase their casting power, also knew how to order magic staffs in Steel City's alchemy shops.
Lin Yun once again came to the Raging Flame Plane and was very satisfied with its development. The development strategy he had originally formulated was already showing results.
The territories of other forces were plundering resources, while Lin Yun had developed Steel City from the very start. What use was there for one person to obtain resources? No matter how many resources there were, excavating them would take time, and they would never be able to include all kinds of resources in the Raging Flame Plane. But with everyone working together, the results appeared.
Steel City became the most powerful force in the Raging Flame Plane, and it also obtained the most benefits. Moreover, everyone could only be envious. Whoever dared to cause trouble for Steel City wouldn't even need Steel City to make an appearance. The Raging Flame Beastmen would tear those troublemakers to shreds.
Moreover, Lin Yun didn't monopolize everything. He cooperated with all the forces he had a good relationship with. Whoever dared to harm Steel City's interests would become the public enemy of most of the Raging Flame Plane.
Moreover, the Intrepid had been staying in the Raging Flame Plane like a dark cloud floating in the sky. Once it was supplied with enough energy, it would become a huge killing machine. The accumulated energy was enough for the Hand of Destruction to be released a few times. And with the three major races present, the Raging Flame Plane was currently in a peaceful atmosphere.
Lin Yun led Pinocchio and Fantasia, as well as the newly joined alchemists to the Intrepid.
After boarding the Intrepid, Pinocchio and Fantes seemed to have gone crazy. This kind of battleship looked like a huge ancient ship, but the technology contained within it was terrifying. Many alchemy techniques had long since been lost, not to mention that the Intrepid was made from the corpse of a God. It could be considered half a lifeform.
Pinocchio and Fantasia started researching the Intrepid. Lin Yun threw a pile of data on the materials and didn't pay attention to them. He gave them a direction and even solved the problem of the materials. If they still couldn't craft a true magic battleship, they would be letting themselves down.
Lin Yun didn't care about the research team and instead went to look for the Firerock Dwarves. The Firerock Dwarves' research on the weapon system was the fastest and smoothest. Most of the Intrepid's Mana Crystal Cannons had already been researched and could be imitated, but imitating the Hand of Destruction was impossible. Not to mention that the Hand of Destruction's materials couldn't be replicated at the moment, the complexity of the Hand of Destruction far surpassed that of ordinary Mana Crystal Cannons. The two were fundamentally different things.
The newly manufactured magic battleships were mainly used to defend the new planes they were preparing to conquer. If there were future battles, the main battlefield would be the endless void. These magic battleships might not have the opportunity to enter planar battles, so they would only consider planar battles in the future when manufacturing magic battleships.
Mana Crystal Cannons weren't too suitable for fighting in the endless void. The range was too short, and the power wasn't good. The first thing to be guaranteed was the range of the weapon system. In the endless void, if a battleship didn't have a range of over ten thousand kilometers, it wouldn't be able to guarantee the superiority of a magic battleship.
The Magic Laser Cannons had been researched recently, and the Magic Electromagnetic Cannons were something Lin Yun wanted the Firerock Dwarves to work with the alchemists to start researching.
In the Endless Void, there were no obstacles, not even air. After the Electromagnetic Cannon was launched, there was no need to worry about the problem of friction with the air. They only had to consider the research of the cannonball. With the power of magic, the problem of the Electromagnetic Cannon and the cannonball being unable to withstand the excessive acceleration could be solved easily with the power of magic.
If a long enough cannon barrel could be made, it wouldn't be impossible to accelerate the cannonball to the speed of light.
But there were still many problems in the middle. After leaving behind a general direction and a simple model of the Electromagnetic Cannon, Lin Yun didn't care about these matters. His subordinate alchemists would take care of these matters. At least most of them could be solved by these alchemists working together. After all, this could be said to be a group of peak alchemists of this era.
