* Boom! *
The endless thunder seemed to never stop, but there wasn't a single day of rest in this busy day.
While all living things were in hibernation … or perhaps all living things were dead during the thunderstorm season, it was the busiest season in Perpetual Moon Town.
In order to construct buildings that could deal with the thunderstorms, many experiments and technologies needed to be tested during this period of time.
Every day, not only would there be floating airships taking off and landing, there would also be many airships traveling through the wilderness filled with thunderstorms, returning with wounds and ashes all over their bodies.
When the airship's cabins opened, it was only natural to see exhausted descenders and researchers. However, judging from their anxious, numb, or helpless expressions, it could be seen that they had gained quite a lot … Currently, it was indeed difficult to make progress.
Occasionally, a researcher would come down with a joyful expression, and the researchers who had been waiting there for a long time would rush up to him.
Goblin engineers, dwarf alchemists, beastmen, trolls, witch doctors, and evil mages. Professionals who traveled thousands of miles would all work together in order to solve a problem.
There would be results every day, but for the time being, there wasn't a reliable solution that could solve the current predicament.
Even during the thunderstorm season, Cape Town's airships traveling through the clouds never stopped. The first batch of intelligence agents had already returned as scheduled, and information was flying back and forth like paper.
There was good news. For example, Three Guns Game Store's sales were booming, and they had already opened more than ten branches. Our Lord's devout followers in Cape Town had also increased explosively.
What made the Aishi People the happiest was that the Seymour people knew nothing about Perpetual Moon Town.
After all, this was indeed an era where information wasn't convenient. The thunderstorm season had long become their tacit resting season … However, as long as the thunderstorm season ended, it was inevitable that they would be discovered. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they had to come up with results and the framework for the next step in these four to five months …
"That is to say, we have to come up with a plan and sketch within three months, and we have to confirm the lightning protection equipment within two months."
As the organizer, Rorschach felt somewhat anxious and uneasy as he looked at the backward schedule.
Although the schedule was created for the sake of exceeding the time limit (fog), it seemed that the schedule was too rushed from the start.
This was indeed a chance for them to soar to the top, but if they failed … Considering the various factions involved, the Game Church and Rorschach would probably have no future.
This was like a big project where one could gain something without risking anything. As the organizer and advocate of the project, once the project was successful, it would be like a carp jumping through the dragon gate. Those scattered participants could also become the first batch of loyal supporters. By then, they would have people, resources, and territory. They could be considered as heroes of a region.
In fact, Lori could even use this opportunity to establish her own Gods …
Rorschach shook his head silently. He was thinking too far and too idealistic. It was better to be realistic.
And if the project failed in the end … those project participants who were still full of smiles would immediately become the most determined pursuers.
Rorschach sighed helplessly and tossed aside his worries. They were already in a situation where they could only advance and not retreat. Rather than worrying about what to do if they failed, it was better to seize every opportunity for success and increase their chances of victory.
Time was limited. This lightning storm season was extremely important. If they couldn't establish the framework and reach the scale now, those big shots who were still on the fence might not continue to invest, and the Seymour people would definitely seize the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Meanwhile, the information sources and researchers who returned from Cape Town also brought back first-line information about Cape Town.
The outer walls of Cape Town were covered with specially made lightning rods.
Lightning rods weren't difficult technology by themselves, but the Aishi People's tests all failed. The high frequency of lightning strikes made the lightning rods meaningless. When the lightning strikes formed a lightning net, and when lightning chains and balls filled the sky, the test participants who were charred black all over developed a phobia of lightning strikes.
And those outstanding legendary thieves brought back samples of the lightning rod system. The specially made lightning rods of Cape Town … were indeed made of stone that was struck by lightning.
Not only that, but the outskirts of Corner City were also densely packed with special net-shaped bricks. Together, they formed a lightning network, and the lightning that was missed by the lightning rods would also be absorbed by the network … … Even if one used their knees to think, these bricks were definitely made of stone that was struck by lightning.
In the end, there was a problem. Even if the technology was analyzed, there was a problem with the supply of materials. It was still unrealistic.
"Not only that, look at the shape of Cape Town. The curved walls are like a single horn. The entire Cape Town is a huge lightning rod, but the residents in the city live within the lightning rod. Perhaps this is indeed a design of uncanny workmanship, but it obviously doesn't fit the construction concept of our city. "
Cape Town closed itself off most of the time, and the curved wall design meant that only a small part of the core area had sunlight. Most of the inner city had no sunlight at all. If the large buildings in the plan were to do this … it would be no different from digging a cave and living the life of a cave dweller.
Even though it was confirmed that the technology couldn't be directly used, the researchers still didn't give up on researching the lightning rods, lightning rods, lightning net, and lightning stone net-like bricks. As long as they could understand the principles and functions of these technologies, it would definitely be helpful for their future work.
There were already two factories mass-producing these lightning-resistant bricks. The valuable natural lightning stone was also an acceptable experimental material.
Even though it was unlikely to be used as a backup plan, the complete construction plan and technology were still being prepared … Even if they really created a huge Cape Town, the land use rate was too low, and the construction cost was too high. As a real estate industry, it would be difficult to recoup the cost. Even if everything went smoothly, the results wouldn't be too delicious.
Fine then, to put it bluntly, using Cape Town's technology would probably be impossible to make any money at all. If it was impossible to recoup the cost in real estate, then there was no need to explain.
On the other side, even though the Legend rank 4 and even rank 5 thieves and spies were active in Cape Town, they were still unable to find any clues about the Evil God.
The spies had their own thoughts as well. It wasn't that they doubted the source of the information, but that the situation was far too complicated. Even with so many experienced spies, they were still unable to find any clues. It was likely that the Evil God wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Some spies did indeed find the Evil God's believers, but the moment their identities were exposed, the Evil God's believers would be burned to ashes along with their houses and everything they came into contact with. There would be no clues left behind at all … This doubtlessly showed just how difficult it was to deal with the Evil God's believers.
On the other side, the first group of people that Rorschach and the others invited to look at the houses … Cough, cough, I meant the local residents' representatives. They finally arrived on the airship used to welcome the guests.
[The Guardian of the Eagle Tribe and the Grand Elder are here together. They really value this meeting! Also …]
"Also?"
[That Saintess is here as well. She wants you to take responsibility … Brother, just what did you do!?]
