After studying the structure of the tower, Tang Shidao found that it was a very simple setup. Absorbing magic energy, collecting materials, and constantly making magic machine puppets … Strictly speaking, the tower was an automatic factory, a machine that never stopped. It also had magic regeneration equipment, so even if it was interrupted for a period of time, it could quietly recover and wait to be activated again.
In addition, the Ten Thousand Legged Worm was half worker and half guard, so it was not a powerful weapon.
It was puzzling.
Why did the towers fight each other? It was not strange that neighboring towers would fight each other. What role did Gu Gelong and Gu Geqiong play? Were they the higher-level controllers? Another point was that there were large, giant, and super-giant magic puppets in this airspace. What kind of tower did those magic machine puppets come from? If the tower had a creator, would an existence like Gu Geqiong be the creator?
Tang Shidao had some ideas in his mind, but he always felt that the tower was not the main character.
Here, life and race were more important.
"You guys continue to transport, I also need time to study the tower." Tang Shidao did not plan to leave for the time being. After all, the flying summoned beasts did not spread out too far and could not explore too many places. To completely solve the mystery of this place, it was not enough to just take down one tower. If he found a "living" Gu Geqiong, it was more likely to dig out the secrets from it.
At present, Tang Shidao only wanted to do three things.
First, try to build a tower.
Second, wait for the flying summoned beasts to spread out and look for all kinds of unknown things.
Third, study the Animated Monk Mystic Codex.
At this time, the major strongholds did not care about what Tang Shidao wanted to do. They were desperately transporting the remnants of the surrounding planets and using them to rebuild their stronghold homes. As long as there were enough of them, they could easily create a second or third subsidiary stronghold. As long as the stronghold was safe, their population could also increase.
During this time.
Tang Shidao often communicated with the others when he was doing research. Tie Peng confessed that the stronghold population was not limited to reproduction, but too many people would increase the scale of the war. In fact, this was also a kind of reduction, but the difference was that everyone had at least one chance to work hard. The danger of the stronghold came from the accumulation of magic energy. Once it exceeded a certain amount, the magic puppets would immediately discover it. Basically, everyone had such a warning line.
As long as the stronghold had too much energy and was close to the warning line, the stronghold itself did not need to "destroy" or "dismember" it.
"Nurturing mages is salvation. According to the official statistics of each settlement, the more Mages there were, the higher the utilization rate of Mana in the settlement. To put it bluntly, Mages could "absorb" the Mana of the settlement to reduce the risk of the settlement being exposed. So, no matter how much it hates the mage's stronghold, it still needs a group of people to absorb the energy. "
"Captain Iron Roc, do you know that the more Mana there is, the healthier animals and plants will be?" Tang Shidao asked.
"I know. Ordinary plants definitely can't compare to magic plants. The same goes for animals and us humans. However, compared to the danger of being completely annihilated by the magical puppets, we can only choose between 'health' and 'life' and 'death'. Mr. Tang, the mages we're talking about are different from what you're imagining. Some of our mages are very young. My son, for example, joined the apprenticeship class. If he can become a Mage, he … he'll just be my son. "
"I understand." Tang Shidao nodded.
"For safety reasons, magic plants are not allowed to be planted in the stronghold. Even if they needed to use it, they would have to isolate it again and again or plant it in the flying ship. If they were discovered by the magic puppets, they could only destroy them or escape with them. It's the same for magic weapons. They need to be isolated and stored. So, we're especially grateful for your 'Life Magic Weapon'. It won't attract the magic puppet army. "
"Will the magic puppets attack magic beasts and magic plants?"
"Yes, even mages will attack them. We're curious as to why the magic puppets would ignore you. Under normal circumstances, the magic puppet army will attack anything with Mana. Or rather, they need to collect it and send it back to the Wizard Tower as energy. "
"Yes."
After hearing this, Tang Shidao gained a better understanding of this place.
If there was a skill that could be cultivated and strengthened without being discovered by the magic puppets, the people here could solve 90% of the problems. As long as they didn't go near the Wizard Tower, they would be safe anywhere. Similarly, the more cultivators there were, the more Mana they could absorb from the stronghold, making it safer. Even if their combat power couldn't be compared to the Wizard Tower, the people's lives were guaranteed.
Because of Tang Shidao's request, the agents sent him the qualitative change data of the stronghold.
According to the records.
As time passed, the Mana in the stronghold would accumulate more and more, like a vortex expanding. In thousands to tens of thousands of years, the stronghold would enter what people called 'Mana Saturation' and become a magic planet. As long as the stronghold exceeded this warning line, the magic puppet army would definitely discover it and attack. Fortunately, 99% of this warning line would not be discovered. Accidents would only happen if the stronghold exceeded it.
Therefore, the people had time to evacuate or devise a remedy.
"The later it gets, the faster it gathers?"
"Yes."
"Can we use magic to dissolve it?"
"Dissolve? What do you mean? "
"It's a method of forcefully neutralizing and disintegrating magic. Using magic to dissolve magic, it turns them into scattered energy and scatter in the air. "
"This … Yes, the mages did say that. But no one can withstand it, not even a large group of people. Throughout history, the mages have tried many times, but due to some kind of mutation, energy mutation, or loss of control of the energy, it would lead to more Mana interference. In the end, the plan failed. Most of the time, it would attract the magic puppet army. "
"That's the Mana Tide. It requires one person to do it alone … Yes, it's difficult for you to succeed." Tang Shidao wanted to remind them, but he gave up.
Here.
With the power limit as the foundation, it was difficult for a mortal apprentice to even reach the Saint Realm.
At this level, going against the Mana Tide alone was suicide.
"Mr. Tang, that … that Mana Tide, can we work together to fight it?"
"That won't do. More people will only create more magic power tides. If one person does it alone, it's only one vortex. If two people work together, it's two vortexes. There's no point in working together. It's a law of nature. How about this, I'll consider cultivating some special magic plants that can extract Mana. "
"This … Mr. Tang, aren't these things more dangerous?"
"Yes. But they can quickly absorb Mana and reduce the concentration of Mana in the stronghold. Once it reaches a certain level, you can dig them up and send them to an unmanned spaceship. Then, throw them away from the stronghold. Even if the magic puppets discover them, they will only chase after the plants. Some magic tools can do the same. It's easier and faster, but you can't make them with your technology. As for the plants, you can cultivate them carefully. Do you understand what I'm saying? "Tang Shidao gestured.
"Yes, yes, thank you." It would be strange if the agents did not understand.
They were not mages, but they were not stupid.
Mr. Tang would leave sooner or later. Creating such a magic tool would be gone once it was used. If they cultivated this kind of plant, they could learn how to cultivate it and use it endlessly. Although they did not know the reason, the agents could understand that Mr. Tang had done his best for them.
Soon.
The news spread, and all the strongholds were in an uproar.
Mana saturation, this was a common crisis for everyone. If there was a plant that could absorb Mana to avoid disaster, they would have an extra gold medal to avoid death.
Soon.
"Mr. Tang, the representatives of all parties have asked us to pass on a message: no matter what research material you need, we will do our best to find it for you. The mages have also stated that they will fully cooperate with your research, even if they have to give up all their work. Rumor has it that this kind of magic plant is also useful for mages' cultivation, so the mages will help you. "The agents said excitedly. This was a matter that everyone was concerned about.
"Thank you, but you misunderstood."
"Mis … misunderstood? Mr. Tang, if you have any difficulties, just tell us, we will definitely … "
"There's no difficulty. I have hundreds of thousands of such plants, including those that can fight and defend. I'm not considering the lack of plants, but your tolerance. Do you understand? For example, I'll give you a blood-sucking demon vine. It can not only absorb Mana, but also kill people. If you can't dig it out, it will soon occupy the entire ground and attract the Golem Army. "
"Yes, sorry." The agents understood.
Mr. Tang did not lack options, but he was considering how much his side could take. A pie falling from the sky was a good thing for humans, but for a fly, it would be squashed if it fell on its head. A glass of water could quench thirst and save people, but a pool of water could drown people. The agents knew very well the tolerance of a stronghold planet.
Soon.
The agents sent more detailed information.
Tang Shidao did not think for too long. He gave them ten types of Mana Absorbing Plants of different strengths and asked them to start cultivating from the lowest. The mages participated immediately. They did not think that Tang Shidao gave them too low. On the contrary, they thought that these things were dangerous enough. The major strongholds discussed and gritted their teeth, leaving a small stronghold empty for the cultivation experiment.
As the information spread, more stronghold planets joined the experiment.
In less than ten days.
Perhaps because the tower was taken away by Tang Shidao, this place attracted the sentinel soldiers of another tower: fifty Ten Thousand Legged Worms.
They did not ask Tang Shidao and immediately prepared to leave.
The towers could not be completely destroyed.
Once upon a time, everyone joined forces to launch a protective battle, attacking the towers and successfully destroying many of them. However, after repeated confrontations, the major planets' resources were exhausted, and there was still no hope of victory. In the end, everyone could only save the last of their resources and enter a new era of avoiding disasters. It was the same today. They believed that Mr. Tang could easily destroy the second tower, but how long could they rely on this?
Mr. Tang would not stay forever.
They had to rely on themselves … They were used to relying on themselves!
"Do your best to find news of Gu Gelong. This is the only thing we can repay."
"Yes."
After the battle of the tower, the stronghold planets secretly issued new orders.
At this time, the mages also focused on studying the Mana Absorbing Plants.
Half a month later.
"Tie Peng, I plan to build a new type of anti-tower."
"What?" Tie Peng was shocked.
"It is actually a tower, and the technology is almost the same. It's just that I removed the mechanism to recognize life. The tower and the Ten Thousand Legged Worms are the same as the magic puppets, they can't recognize life. After it's completed, everyone without magic power can safely enter the tower. At the same time, it is also hostile to other towers. "
"Then the planet it eats …" Tie Peng was delighted, but then his face darkened.
"This is exactly the change I made. I've already 'reversed' its function. I've engraved it back into the magic array so that it has a magic recovery effect. However, this Mana Absorbing Plant takes a long time to recover. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Legged Worms' food is not planets, but the wreckage of magic puppets, which is the garbage scattered in space. The anti-tower grows slower, but the food is abundant. If it enters the planetary area, it will not be as good as the average tower. Here, the anti-tower's food is more abundant … "
Tie Peng's head was basically blank, and he could not hear what Tang Shidao said after that.
He could only feel.
After days and nights of anticipation, the weapon for life to 'counterattack' the towers had finally appeared.
