In order to prevent the Demon Clan from the Extraterritorial Domain from causing trouble during the construction of the Great City Barrier Array, Lan Yuanqing not only asked Sima Xuefeng, Mei Cailan, Gu Yang, and all the other peak Emperors in the city to guard the array day and night, but also directly adjusted the Psionic Defense Array of the capital to a fully activated state.
Even if it consumed an astonishing amount of Psionic Power units and resource subsidies every day, the City Governor's Office did not hesitate to do so.
In troubled times, having a super killing Illusory Array that could trap and kill half-step Demon Emperors was very important to a city. As the City Governor, Lan Yuanqing knew better than anyone else.
Without the Emperors, half-step Emperors were the strongest in the world.
As long as they could defend against the attacks of half-step Emperors, the capital would always be in an invincible position.
"I'm counting on you!"
Standing in front of the city gate, Lan Yuanqing sincerely asked Yang Fan and the others.
"Before the formation is completed, this Lan will personally oversee the transfer of resources in the city. If you need anything, please feel free to ask this Lan at any time!"
"Thank you, City Lord Lan." Yang Fan nodded and asked Lan Yuanqing softly, "Are the resources for the other four gates ready?"
Since the array was to be set up in the entire city, it was naturally impossible for the North Gate to be the only place to gather resources.
The array map that Yang Fan had previously constructed was set up by the four gates of the capital at the same time and built around the city. In the end, he would communicate and combine all the modules and activate them together.
After all, the capital's land area was too vast. If one wanted to set up a super huge array that could cover the entire city outside the city walls, it was not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
In the past, in order to set up the Class A Psionic Defense Array of the capital, the capital had directly mobilized 100,000 people and it had taken nearly a year to complete it.
Now, if Yang Fan wanted to build a super Psionic Illusory Array of the same level, it would definitely take a lot of time.
"Don't worry, Doctor Yang. Everything is ready." Lan Yuanqing said firmly, "All the materials and personnel for the array at the four gates are on standby. As long as Master Yang Fan gives the order, everyone will unconditionally cooperate with Yang Fan's orders."
"In that case, let's begin!" Yang Fan said, "Let's not touch the materials for the array for the time being. Let's build the array bases outside the four gates first."
Lan Yuanqing was stunned. he did not quite understand what Yang Fan meant.
Although he was not to be, to be honest, to be honest, he still had some knowledge of it. He had some knowledge of the general process of the construction process. Of the Of Formation was to build Array. was to build the array.
To put it bluntly, the construction of the array foundation was to dig a hole and prepare the ground so that it would be convenient for the array master to arrange the array resources and draw the runic arcane arts.
Generally speaking, the construction of the array base, the filling of the materials, and the outline of the runes were almost done at the same time. If there were any problems, it would be convenient to correct and adjust them in time. Only in this way could the speed and quality of the construction of the array be ensured.
But now, Yang Fan only ordered to dig the array base first. He did not mention anything about the filling of the array materials and the outline of the runes. Lan Yuanqing really found it hard to understand.
It was not that Yang Fan did anything wrong. It was just that they were in a hurry now.
Otherwise, why would they spend so much effort to send all the resources and materials over overnight?
These were hundreds of thousands of tons of basic materials. In order to gather all of them and transport them to the corresponding location in the shortest time possible, they had spent a lot of effort.
Now that they were here, Yang Fan did not intend to use them. Why was that?
Although he was puzzled, Lan Yuanqing did not directly ask in front of everyone. Instead, he ordered his subordinates behind him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and pass down Doctor Yang's orders. The four city gates will start building the array base at the same time."
Soon, the four gates worked together. After receiving Yang Fan's orders, batch after batch of warriors at the Martial Master level and above began to move out of the city to dig and build the array base.
Outside the city, without the protection of the spirit power shield, not only was the temperature frighteningly low, but the poisonous miasma and radiation were also constantly attacking the human body.
Only warriors at the Martial Master level and above could rely on their vigorous vitality to resist these external unfavorable factors and carry out the basic work as usual.
This was also the reason why the City Governor's Office used all warriors at the Martial Master level and above to set up the array.
This was because if ordinary people did not wear protective clothing, they would not even be able to go out of the city gates, let alone dig holes or transport the array materials.
As for why they did not use spirit power machinery such as excavators or bulldozers?
Firstly, it was because the structure of the array base was complicated and not suitable for large-scale mechanical work. Moreover, ordinary electronic machinery could easily become paralyzed if directly exposed to the wild.
Secondly, although warriors at the Martial Master level and above could not be said to be able to split mountains and split rocks, they were not to be outdone. They were much more useful than excavators and bulldozers.
After a while, seeing that the warriors around him had already left the city one after another and Yang Fan had no intention of moving, Lan Yuanqing could not help but move closer to Yang Fan and ask in a low voice.
"Please forgive me for being nosy, but Doctor Yang doesn't seem to be in a hurry to set up the array. Is there a reason that I don't know?"
He was not worried that Lan Yuanqing would be anxious. The truth was that the City Governor's Office would have to spend an astonishing amount of money every day that the construction period was delayed. He could not afford to delay.
Yang Fan naturally understood Lan Yuanqing's concerns. He said softly, "City Governor Lan, don't be anxious. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the cutting of firewood. Let's first complete the array base, then lay out the array materials, draw the runes, and connect the nodes. It won't delay the normal construction period at all."
"Let me tell you, City Governor." Yang Fan said firmly, "As long as the array base is completed, I will only need three days to complete the rest of the array structure!"
"Only three days?!"
Lan Yuanqing was shocked and looked at Yang Fan in disbelief.
"Doctor Yang, please don't joke with me. This Great City Defense Array will go around the city for at least a hundred kilometers. How can it be completed in three days?"
This joke was a little too much.
Setting up an array was a delicate job. Did he think it was running around the city walls?
And three days?
If it could be completed in three months, Lan Yuanqing would be thanking the heavens and earth.
"If it's just me, three days is indeed a little rushed."
Yang Fan said, "However, I have my disciples and the Illusionist Guild's illusionist array masters from the Federal Center City to help me. Naturally, it will be much faster."
Lan Yuanqing continued to shake his head. He still didn't believe it.
There were less than twenty people from the Illusionist Guild. Among Yang Fan's disciples, the only one who could help was Ling Tian.
Together, they could barely make up a round number of twenty. With such a small number of people, it was impossible for them to build such a large defensive array in three days.
"Doctor Yang, it's not that I don't believe you." Lan Yuanqing said, "This time, in order to build this Great City Defense Array, the City Governor's Office mobilized a total of eighty thousand Martial Masters and above to act as coolies, transport materials, and dig up the array foundation."
"If we follow Doctor Yang's instructions and use everyone to dig up the array foundation instead of transporting materials, we might only need ten days to complete the construction of the array foundation."
As he said this, Lan Yuanqing suddenly raised his head and glanced at Yang Fan.
"However, if it's as you said, we only need three days to complete the construction of all the materials and runes. Doesn't that mean that we only need thirteen days to completely set up and activate the Great Ten Directional Purgatory Demon Slaying Array?"
How was that possible!
It had to be known that the construction of the array foundation was the simplest and least technical part of the entire array.
As long as one had enough strength and was meticulous enough to understand the corresponding blueprints, they would be able to do it.
Therefore, Lan Yuanqing could guarantee that the construction of the basic array foundation would be completed within ten days.
However, it was simply impossible for Yang Fan to complete the most complicated and error-prone material arrangement and rune outline in three days.
Back then, in order to set up this Grade-A Spiritual Energy Defense Array, they had spent an entire year to barely complete it. Almost ninety percent of the time was spent inspecting, debugging, repairing, and rebuilding.
Although the conditions back then were far less convenient than now, the difficulty of setting up the array was roughly the same. How could it be done so much earlier?
Unless, Yang Fan could guarantee that every node of the array he set up would be accurate without a single error.
However, how was that possible?!
This was a gigantic array that stretched over a hundred kilometers. Just the materials used for the array alone weighed hundreds of thousands of tons. The runes that needed to be drawn would definitely be innumerable.
With such a huge amount of work and such a complicated array structure, how could there not be any flaws?
Alright.
Even if Yang Fan had this kind of skill, could Che Hongyu, Fang Zhe, and Ling Tian also have this kind of skill?
"Thirteen days?" Yang Fan gave a soft nod, "Pretty much. If the construction of the array foundation could be brought forward by a few days, it could be finished in ten days!"
"When I was setting up the Ten Directional Purgatory Demon Slaying Array in West Chu City, it only took less than an hour."
"The capital city is over a hundred times bigger than West Chu City. Ten days is already a bit too long for me."
Lan Yuanqing's body trembled and his lips twitched.
Was time calculated like this?
The capital city was indeed over a hundred times bigger than West Chu City, but that also meant that the Ten Directional Purgatory Demon Slaying Array would be over a hundred times bigger.
Correspondingly, the cost and difficulty of setting up the array would increase by a hundred times!
Wasn't Yang Fan, this brat's boasting a little too much?
"You bragged a bit and successfully gained the deep trust of your disciple Ling Tian. Your social skills have greatly increased and your eloquence has greatly increased. Worship + 1, Glib Tongue + 30."
"You bragged and successfully gained the deep trust of Che Hongyu, the peak-level Spirit Monarch. Your social skills have been greatly improved. Your eloquence has been greatly enhanced. Admiration + 1. Glib Tongue + 30."
"You bragged a bit and successfully gained the deep trust of the seventh level spirit emperor Fang Zhe … …"
"You bragged a bit and successfully gained the deep trust of the seventh level spirit emperor Qian Tongfang … …"
Yang Fan's eyebrows jumped. He had gained the experience of the glib tongues of the people around him, but he hadn't heard the system notification about Lan Yuanqing.
It seemed like this City Lord Lan still didn't trust him too much.
It was really strange. Wasn't it just setting up the Ten Directional Purgatory Demon Slaying Array in ten days? Was it that hard?
