Some people said that arcanists were just throwing money at others, and it did make some sense. Whether it was the floating city or the golem army, they were all built with money. A steel golem cost 80,000 Kinnar, and a diamond golem cost more than a million.
According to the standard of the golem army, each of the 500 steel golems cost 80,000 gold coins, which would add up to 40,000,000 gold coins. Two steel golems would cost around 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 gold coins. The remaining 1,500 stone golems cost around 30,000 gold coins each, which would add up to a total of 45,000,000 gold coins. In total, the entire golem army would cost an astonishing 100,000,000 gold coins.
The Florentine Kingdom's annual revenue was barely eight million gold Nars. It would take the Florentine Kingdom 13 years of tax revenue to barely reach a hundred million gold Nars. Among these, high-grade and Legendary-grade soul crystals were things that couldn't be bought with money.
The materials needed to build a floating city cost at least 100 billion Kinnar. It could be said that if it weren't for the minerals found in Suhlen's territory and the rich resources of the underground world, he wouldn't even be able to build a wizard tower, let alone a golem army.
Although the golem production line cost a lot, most of the materials were produced in the northern city, so it didn't really cost that much. Similarly, the materials used to build the golem army were basically provided by the northern city. The obsidian golems' main materials were provided by the obsidian workshop, which directly reduced the cost of the obsidian golems by half. In addition, most of the other materials could be obtained from the secret realm and the underground world, which ultimately reduced the cost of the obsidian golems by 80%.
If it weren't for the various resources in the underground world and the secret realm, Suhlen wouldn't even be able to build the golem army, and even the construction of the wizard tower would have been delayed for a long time. He had to admit that it was a wise choice to build a city in the northern city. Who would've thought that he would find a passage to the underground world here?
In addition to these resources, the northern city also built a large number of factories. Originally, there were pottery, brick kilns, wine, sugar factories, and other factories in North City. Now, Suhlen had also opened a porcelain and glass factory. Now, the goods in North City were very popular in several kingdoms around Florence.
In addition to these, the perfume and soap factories proposed by Su Lun had also begun to be put into production. Perfume and soap products could be said to be the favorite of those noble ladies and ladies, who were even crazy about these daily necessities.
These daily necessities weren't cheap at all. They were all consumables. It could be said that Northern Garrison City's income had been steadily increasing. After some calculations, Northern Garrison City's monthly income had reached 1.2 million Kinnar. The income of Beifeng Duchy's three cities was higher than that of the entire Kingdom of Florence.
If not for the fact that Suhlen had become the King of the Kingdom of Florence and his own strength, he would not have been able to defeat Suhlen. The nobles and kings would never let go of such a lucrative opportunity. But even so, the caravan in the Northern Garrison City continued to expand. Putting everything else aside, just the caravan guards already numbered in the thousands.
Suhlen first went to the secret realm to see the crystal beasts. At present, the crystal beasts had multiplied to more than 200. Every month, they would provide a batch of high-quality Magical Crystals to North City. Some of these Magical Crystals were used to repair the secret realm, and some were used to build the Wizard Tower. In the future, these Magical Crystals would also be used to build the Floating-Space City.
The mining area in the underground world was still the same. All kinds of mines were being mined in an orderly manner. Among them, the iron ore output was the highest. There were also copper, zinc, lead, silver, tungsten, gold, and so on. The mining of Mithril was still very slow. There were only about 20 pounds of Mithril in the warehouse, 25 pounds of adamantine, and 20 pounds of orichalcum.
These precious metals were far from enough to build the Floating-Space City, but they were barely enough to build the Floating-Space Tower.
In addition, there were 130 pounds of various magic gems. Among them, there were about 30 pounds of high-quality magic gems. These magic gems could be used as materials for magic experiments, and could also be used to make magic equipment.
Suhlen even considered equipping the students of North Wind Academy with some magic equipment in the future. There were also many miscellaneous things that Suhlen handed over to others to take care of. As a king and a wizard, he did not have the time and energy to pay attention to these trivial matters.
After dealing with the matters here, Suhlen and Hathaway set off for the Obsidian Factory together. He went there this time, on the one hand, to transport the obsidian back. On the other hand, he needed to start a large-scale construction of the Iron Golem production line.
The Iron Golem production line consumed a lot of energy. He had to find a way to build an energy transmission pipeline. The clay Golem production line could be used in this way. When the Iron Golem production line was built in the future, an independent Elemental Pool would have to be built in the Iron Golem production line to provide energy.
"Tower Spirit Number One!"
"Show me the design of the Iron Golem production line that I drew last time!"
Hathaway looked at the Iron Golem production line and the Obsidian Factory in front of her, then frowned slightly. "I always feel that these places that were designed and built last time are not beautiful enough, and the planning is a bit messy. I think this Iron Golem production line can be adjusted again."
"Tower Spirit, list out all the problems that have occurred in the production line during this period!"
Soon, the factory tower spirit showed all the problems that had occurred in the production line and the Obsidian Factory during this period of time. Soon, a lot of text and images appeared on the display screen. Hathaway began to solve these problems one by one, and at the same time, upgrade the production line.
Everything in the Obsidian Factory was normal. This area was directly isolated by Suhlen, and no one was allowed to enter. In the deepest part of the volcano, in the huge magma pool, two large lava elementals were still working hard. They were like fish in water in this magma environment.
The tower spirit scanned the Obsidian Factory with its aura. All the clay Golems were operating normally, and the obsidian produced was regularly placed in the warehouse. The upgrade plan of the Wizard Tower had not stopped. Hathaway was ready to upgrade the Wizard Tower into a Floating-Space Tower, but there was still a shortage of materials, and obsidian was one of the materials that she lacked the most.
Hathaway wanted to use obsidian to cover the entire foundation. Because obsidian itself had the ability to conduct magic, simple runes could become a carrier of magic power, and at the same time, its hardness was very high. This was an important energy channel for the construction of the Enigma in the Floating-Space Tower in the future.
The construction of the Enigma could enhance the defensive power of the Northern Citadel and the Wizard Tower, and at the same time, it could greatly reduce the difficulty of casting spells, so that the wizard apprentices in the Floating-Space Tower could also rely on the Enigma to obtain simple casting abilities.
If the Enigma could continue to be upgraded into an artificial Magic Net, then it would be more useful, and even ordinary people could cast spells.
According to different talents, ordinary people could cast a lot of zero-level tricks. If they were slightly more talented, then they could also learn some low-level spells. Of course, this ability was only useful within the coverage of the artificial Magic Net of the Floating-Space City. If they were out of the coverage of the artificial Magic Net, then ordinary people who obtained the ability to cast spells would be instantly beaten back to their original state.
After checking the design drawings of the factory, Hathaway began to upgrade and transform the place, because this upgrade and transformation required a lot of adjustments. Fortunately, the factory tower spirit was there to assist, or the two of them would have taken a long time to complete the work.
After the adjustments, the production efficiency of the Golem production line had obviously improved, and all kinds of small problems and problems were basically solved. However, after the upgrade and transformation, the Golem Puppets on the production line also needed to be re-instilled with work skills.
Next, Hathaway first sorted out the operation technology of the upgraded Golem production line, and then transmitted it to the tower spirit, so that it could master the various technology of the upgraded Golem factory. As a light rose from Hathaway's body, a strong soul power gushed out from her body, and then instantly connected to the tower spirit. The faintly discernible balls of light entered the Tower Spirit, and after a while, these spiritual lights disappeared.
"Tower spirit!"
"Optimize and upgrade the production technology of these Clay Golems!"
"Yes, Master!"
Following Hathaway's order, the tower genie slowly raised a ball of aura. This ball of aura absorbed a large amount of energy. Soon, this ball of aura shot out a beam of aura and landed on the clay golems. The tower genie was the terminal auxiliary tower genie of the golem factory. It could directly add new functions to the golems, but doing so consumed energy. Under normal circumstances, Hathaway would not waste energy on this.
"Start loading program!"
"Loading progress: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%! … "
"Loading complete!"
"Activating the craftsmanship related to the Golem factory! … "
The factory tower spirit's loading ability was limited, and the soul core of these Clay Golems was also limited, so it could not add too many craftsmanship skills. Therefore, these Clay Golems were only loaded with one or two craftsmanship skills, such as carving, smelting, forging, and so on related to the production of Golem Puppets. At most, it could only load up to expert-level craftsmanship skills, and it was basically impossible to load up to master-level craftsmanship skills.
Of course, Suhlen would not be so extravagant to add such high-level craftsmanship skills to these Clay Golems. Basically, high-level craftsmanship was enough, because the higher the level of craftsmanship, the more energy it would consume, and it would require higher-quality soul crystals as the core. This was the same as loading work programs on robots. The higher the level, the greater the amount of data needed. At the same time, there was also a greater demand in terms of hardware. You could not only ask an Artificial Intelligence like AlphaGo to use a Pentium 256 CPU.
