Chapter 133 Spending Money Is Easier than Making Money

The rest work continued until dark, and they only cleaned up some garbage on the first floor of the city. Essinger is too big, and cleaning it is not that easy to complete! But I did make an important discovery. After upgrading the crystal magic beetle with the blood pool, you can get the evolved crystal beetle. These little things are similar to bees. In addition to eating everything, they also secrete adhesive! They can eat crystalline rocks and then spit out a yellow semi-fluid. These semi-fluid properties are very similar to quick-drying cement, which will set quickly as soon as it is spit out. The solidified material is not only as hard as crystalline rock, but also has the same color. It is simply the best choice for repairing the city. The spitted yellow substances change color as they condense. When they completely turn into the same color as the gray crystalline rock, it means that they have condensed. If they have not turned into gray yet, The 'color' just isn't done yet!

I sent all my 10,000 crystal beetles to help repair the city, while I directed the cleaning work. Of course, you can't throw away garbage, and feed it all to beetles. These crystal beetles seem to spit out different substances when they eat different things, and not everything they eat can spit out useful substances! There are several research results that have been obtained.

The first one is that eating crystalline rock can spit out quick-drying cement that is similar in hardness to crystalline rock. We will temporarily call this thing quick-drying cement.

The second is that eating the leaves of aquatic plants can spit out a substance that is somewhat elastic but very rigid. I plan to use this kind of thing to make a base for Essinger in the future, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to bear the huge vibration every time Essinger lands. Using this kind of thing as a cushion will make it more comfortable when I land! This substance was finally named sol by Shura Ziyi. Anyway, this thing looks like high-strength engineering rubber!

The third one is that you can spin silk by eating animal carcasses. This kind of thread looks like glass thread, it is transparent and extremely thin. But this kind of silk is so strong that two people can pull it continuously. Giant dragons like Lucky and Plague can only pull off 300 strands at a time, no more! The total diameter of three hundred wires is only 5 mm when rolled together. If this thing is used to make a rope, it will definitely be very strong! I don’t know if anyone will buy it, I might as well sell Crystal Beetle Silk from now on! It's a pity that the number of crystal beetles is too small! This kind of thing has also been named. I came up with the name myself, and it’s called diamond wire. Anyway, you can tell from the name that it is strong enough!

The last discovery is that the crystal beetle eats magic silver and then spits out a silver-white substance. This substance is named bright silver, the main reason is that its luster is much better than magic silver, it sparkles! Bright silver's magic defense is incredibly high, with 90% magic resistance, and its physical defense is also super high. It is simply the best metal that can be found so far. It's a pity that the crystal beetle needs to eat several kilograms of magic silver to spit out one gram of bright silver. This output is really nothing to say! According to the price of magic silver, and including this output, it will be enough to use bright silver to make some weapons for the girls in the guild. If you want to make armor or lay city walls, that is too extravagant. I don’t have that much. Money is wasted buying magic silver!

The gold coins looked at my beetle with stars in its eyes, and I almost thought the crystal beetles were hens that lay golden eggs. However, I also want to bring more crystal beetles back. These crystal beetles can indeed improve their performance. Product added value! My crystal beetles are all evolved from the crystal magic beetle. Although the original basic evolution form of the dark pincer is controlled by a mother insect, the number of evolved crystal beetles is limited. There is also a mother insect to command, but it stands to reason that there should be wild ones. It's a crystal beetle that doesn't need to be commanded. The number of my crystal beetles is limited because they inherited the characteristics of the dark pincer. Real crystal beetles should not need a mother beetle, and the number is only limited by the living environment! It seems that I need to look for it in the future. Maybe I can get more and set up a breeding factory or something to specialize in the production of special materials!

After arranging tasks for the beetles, they burrowed into the soil to repair Essinger's outer city wall and the big hole underneath. I didn't need to worry about them for the time being, and I walked around waiting for Kristina to come online. I waited until 10 o'clock at night before Kristina came online. I sent her directly into the space gate. She was a player anyway and would not be afraid of the breath of the Mother Goddess of the Earth. Atlantis is at the bottom of the sea, and Kristina doesn’t have an underwater rebreather like my dragon suit. I really don’t know how to send her to Atlantis without putting her in the Temple of the Earth Mother. Essinger has two submarines "borrowed" from the Japanese, but we haven't finished studying them yet, so we haven't copied any of them. As for the two ships themselves, their quality is really not that good, and their diving depth is not deep enough to reach Atlantis!

I handed over all the things I needed to pay attention to to Vina, and I found a water speedboat like the one I bought from Atlantis and set off. I didn’t bring a single demon pet except for the guide Aina and the middleman. I wasn’t going to fight anyway, and Isinger also needed manpower! Aina must be taken with me. Although I have run to Atlantis more than ten times, it is not easy to find the way on the bottom of the sea. Even if I am not a road addict, I will be as lost in the water. 'road!

The harbor in Essinger has reached the sky, and I still have to carry the speedboat to the beach! The big pit left by Essinger is still full of mud, and it will not settle down for a while! Grandma didn't want to touch this kind of muddy water, so she had to carry the speedboat and continue running. When she arrived at the real beach, the water here was much clearer. I put down the speedboat and jumped on, with Aina riding behind and holding my waist. After turning the magic crystal, he slightly rotated the handle on the right, and the speedboat rushed out. First, he ran for a certain distance on the sea, then put down his mask, pressed the bow of the boat, and the speedboat slipped into the water. Follow A Di Na's instructions to move along the ocean current, which is equivalent to sailing with the current much faster.

As we move away from the continental shelf, there are fewer and fewer fish in the sea, but there are more and more monsters, but now I am in a hurry to dodge them all. As the depth increases, the water becomes darker and darker. Although I can see things in the dark, I still like some light. Turn on the headlights on the front of the speedboat and continue heading towards the deep sea. Because the water pressure is increasing, the lights of the speedboat are getting shorter and shorter. Grandma was humming a strange song softly behind me. In fact, she was using sound waves to locate. At our current speed, it is easy to hit things without confirming the surrounding environment in advance!

Around 3 a.m., a faint light finally appeared in front of us, and it seemed we were reaching Atlantis. I already knew the road here, so I took the initiative to adjust my direction and rushed over without the help of Grandma. We were still some distance away from Atlantis, and we could already see a lot of patrols coming and going. I was riding an Atlantis speedboat, and the patrols stopped paying attention to us when they saw us from a distance.

When we arrived at the waterproof gate near the city, the guard saw me coming and stepped forward to help us stabilize the speedboat. After all, I had been here many times and the guards all knew me! Handing the speedboat over to them, I took Grandna directly into Atlantis.

With the long-term trade between our Frost Rose Alliance and Atlantis, Atlantis now has no shortage of magic crystals. The city is very beautiful and brightly lit. The residents of Atlantis are very grateful to me, the person who saved Atlantis from the crisis. Mermaids who saw me along the way took the initiative to salute and say hello to me. I felt like a celebrity here!

When we entered the palace of Emperor Atlantis, the guards did not stop us and let us in directly. When Emperor Atlantis saw me, he immediately rushed up to me and greeted me enthusiastically. I don’t know what kind of relationship he thought I had with him! In fact, the whole Atlantis reaction to me is normal. Just think about how a country that often suffers from famine will behave towards the transportation team!

After being polite, I directly stated the reason for my visit: "There is some trouble in my city, and I am here to buy a batch of magic products from you. Of course, I will exchange them with magic crystals of equal value!"

"No problem, no problem!" The wrinkles on Atlantis's smiling face could kill a fly! "Come, I'll take you to the technical warehouse!"

When I arrived at the gate of the technology factory, I opened the space door and released Kristina. The first thing she did when she came out was to look around with her mouth open. Atlantis is really paved with gold bricks, and even the houses are made of gold. The surroundings are glittering with gold. Can anyone who comes here for the first time not be surprised? Although we have been doing business with Atlantis for so long, I am the only one who has actually been to Atlantis. When Ying and the others do business, they always send magic crystals to Atlantis. On the sea above here, the mermaids will bring gold up to exchange for magic crystals with us. They don't need to come down, and they can't come down either!

"Don't be in a daze!" I shook my hand in front of Kristina's eyes. "Come in with me and pick something out!"

"Oh!" Kristina agreed, but her eyes were still looking around. Before entering the door, she touched the wall with her hands to see if it was real gold. Finally, she bit it with her teeth to confirm! But Germans can definitely distinguish the difference between work and entertainment. After entering the room, she immediately returned to her work attitude!

Emperor Atlantis introduced: "These are finished products with standard configuration. Take a look for yourselves. If you like it, tell me. You can get it right away. If you need to adjust some characteristics, you can tell me. I will Get someone to customize it for you right away. Now that our factory has power, we can produce things very quickly!"

I asked Kristina to go in and take a look, while I stayed at the door. Anyway, I don’t really understand what’s inside, so there’s no point in going in! "Great Emperor! Do you still remember the power core we ordered last time?"

"Remember! Is yours bigger? Of course I remember!"

"This time we got an anti-gravity device, but it consumed too much energy. The power chamber was overloaded and exploded!"

"It exploded? That's the power source of 18 standard units!"

"I didn't know that thing consumes so much energy! But it's very useful, and it even saved our lives this time! Do you need it? If so, I can sell you the technology!"

"No! Atlantis is on the bottom of the sea and does not need buoyancy. We built the city with gold to prevent the city from floating. If we need an anti-gravity device, aren't we going to cause trouble for ourselves!"

"That's right! Forget it! I mainly want to reorder the power core from you!"

"It's easy! But all 18 units exploded. Do you want a bigger one this time?"

"Well! I'm not sure whether Essinger will consume a lot of other energy in the future, so I hope to prepare something bigger!"

Emperor Atlantis thought for a moment. "Then how big do you want it to be? We may not be able to make it if it's too big!"

"100 standard units! Can you make it?"

"What? 100 units? This is a bit big! We may be able to make it, but it's close to our limit. I'll ask the production department. Just wait! I'll be back soon!" Atlantis said in a hurry He ran away. It seems that he attaches great importance to this big business!

Kristina ran back as soon as Emperor Atlantis left, holding a very beautiful disk in her hand. A large number of symbols were drawn in relief on the disk, and there was a blue crystal in the center of the disk. "President, how about we buy some of this?"

I took it and looked at it. "What is this?"

"The Eye of the City! It can replace the city defense force to maintain law and order! It is equivalent to a monitor, except that it is managed by the City Tree! And this thing also has attack power. If the enemy sneaks into the city to cause damage, this thing can cause serious damage. effect!"

"Isengard is so big, how much does it have to hold?"

"Two million units should be enough!"

"Yeah! Anyway, someone will reimburse you! Buy it! You don't have to help the Dragon Clan save money! Just buy 3 million, and you can replace it if it breaks!"

"Great!" Kristina turned around and ran back!

At this time, Emperor Atlantis happened to run back again. "I asked, we can also make 100 units, but it may be slower. The machine is not big enough to produce such a large one. We plan to make it by hand. Of course, the price may be slightly more expensive. After all, it has to be done by hand, and it is So big!”

"It doesn't matter, just go ahead and make it!" Haha! Spending money feels great, especially when it’s not your own money!

Emperor Atlantis agreed very happily: "Don't worry, you get what you pay for. We all use the best materials and the best workmanship, which will definitely make your money well spent!"

I nodded and said: "I also want a few backup magic crystal power extractors. Let's do it! You make me two 100-unit ones, one is used as the power source of the anti-gravity device, and the other is used as emergency backup. I don't want to The whole city fell from the sky. In addition, you can build me a 50-unit power source plus two units! I want to separate the city's defense facilities from the lighting lines. This time the power source is damaged and we don't even have lighting. And many of the gates in Essinger are driven by magic crystal power, and I still can’t open the gates of my city!”

"Got it! Two 100-unit ones, one 50-unit one, two units! You can take the 100-unit ones in two hours, the 50-unit ones have to wait 8 hours, and we can finish one 100-unit one in an hour. , I’ll have someone send it to you when it’s finished!”

"Very good! Oh! By the way!" I picked up the City Eye in my hand. "Prepare 3 million of this thing for us!"

"What? Three million?" Emperor Atlantis was startled: "Why do you want so many?"

"Of course it's to protect the city! My city is so big, 3 million may not be enough!"

"This thing is used to protect the city council hall. How can it be placed all over the city! You are too extravagant!"

"Haha! To tell you the truth, I have a large sum of money to reimburse me this time, so I will try my best to buy enough books! But listen carefully, you have to give me a reasonable price. It is one thing to buy something. Deliberately raising the price to deceive Money is another matter! Anyway, if I buy so much, you will make a lot of money!"

"Of course!"

The last time he bought so many magic crystal cannons, the Dragon King could easily do it with his personal savings, and he didn't care so much. Judging from this, I can’t imagine how rich the Dragon Clan is. He wouldn’t even blink an eye when buying something like this!

Kristina wandered inside for a full hour before running out. She wrote a two-meter-long record of the things she wanted to buy. She really had nothing to say. Are all women born for shopping? I took the list and looked at it: "150,000 automatic gates, 30 million active air locks, 8 full-power magic jammers,..., 23 crystal stabilizers, aerial magic crystal thruster sets (giant 8 (12 for large, 20,000 for medium, and 5 million for small)?" I raised the list and asked: "What is this thruster group?"

"This time Isengard moved horizontally when it fell. The sisters studied it. Although there is no result for the time being, at least we are sure that the thing should be movable. However, we have not found a solution. But I believe that as long as some Sooner or later, we can make the anti-gravity device no longer immovable, and thrusters will definitely be needed by then. In the water, we can also use underwater thrusters or ship paddles, but what should we do in the sky? Essinger cannot be used. A sail, right? You’ll need it sooner or later anyway, why don’t we buy some first and go back to prepare! It just so happens that someone will reimburse you this time, it’s better than spending it yourself in the future!”

"Yeah! That makes sense!" I handed the list to Emperor Atlantis. "Just prepare it according to the list! Tell me the price later."

Atlantis glanced at the list briefly and said: "This! The order quantity is a bit too huge! It may need to be produced in installments. Do you think this is good? You prioritize these things, and those you need immediately will be first. Production, I will deliver the goods in order!"

"No problem!" I turned to Kristina and said, "You make the arrangements! In addition, if there are some things that need to be strengthened, you should also write them down. This is big business, don't make a mistake!"

"Don't worry!" Kristina took the list and started arranging it, while I walked around boredly. It was already past 9 a.m. when everything was arranged. Let Kristina enter the space gate and log off. I took Ariana again and left Atlantis. More than 5 hours were wasted on the return flight, and it was already afternoon when we arrived at Essinger!

As soon as you enter Essinger, open the space door first, let the dragon take out the small power cores of the two units, and restore the lighting and basic power first. At least some closed doors can be opened!

I called Wal-Mart to install the power source, but I forgot to notify others! A few people over at Big Pot Rice were prying open a door that couldn't be opened because there was no power, but that door also locked the underground city's drainage pipe inside! Several people were panting from exhaustion and their faces were red, but the door didn't move. Just as several people were holding on to the crowbar and exerting force, there was a sudden click and the door rose by itself! As soon as the door opened, all the water in the room rushed out from under the door, and a group of people were immediately swept away by the water and turned upside down! This is the pipeline control room. Due to the vibration, the water pipe burst, and the whole room was filled with water. When the door was opened, everyone rushed out. The water pressure was too high and no one could stand. They were all rushed out of the aisle along the steps. The big pot meal was the worst. He rolled down the stairs of the pipe room and landed on the ground below before stopping!

Big Pot Rice got up and rubbed his butt while answering Woma's chat: "Hey! Why did the door of the pipeline room open by itself? You didn't even say hello!"

Only then did Woma remember that he had forgotten to say hello to everyone: "Oh! Sorry! I forgot! The president has just returned with a new power core, and the city has restored power!"

"No wonder! You didn't even say hello, so I fell down and was rushed downstairs by the water!"

"I'm sorry! It won't happen next time!"

All the locked doors in Essinger were opened at the same time, and there was still a lot of water in many rooms! When the gate opened, all the magic crystal cannons and other weapons on the Essinger city wall were raised. These things were originally in the cannon room in the city wall, and they all came out on their own as soon as the power was released! The lighting in the Essinger Underground also flashed a few times, and then suddenly became brighter. Several people came in my chat room all of a sudden, and as soon as the light came on, they knew I was back! With the power of the city, the clean-up work will obviously become a lot more strange. After all, it is inconvenient to do things blindly!

After the lighting was restored, I looked at the city again and felt that it had been almost cleaned up. The ruins have basically been turned into open spaces, and the streets are much cleaner. As long as the collapsed buildings are rebuilt, they will basically be restored to their original state! As for the big holes in the city, the crystal beetles have already plugged them up for me. Now that they are all dry, it doesn’t look like they have been repaired at all. I didn’t expect these little things to be so useful!

No matter if the building collapses this time, no wooden houses will be built during the reconstruction. From now on, Essinger will only build stone buildings. We must ensure that every building in Essinger is like a bunker, at least it must be able to withstand it. earthquake! The specific design of the building was left to a few mm from the former Sakura Club. They were recommended by Fei'er (the former president of the Sakura Club), and they used to be engaged in architecture! There are frequent earthquakes in Japan. Japanese architecture has one specialty that cannot be compared with other countries' buildings, and that is earthquake resistance! Designers from other countries may be better at structural design or aesthetics, but houses designed by Japanese architects are always the least likely to collapse! Have no idea! That's what people have learned through practice. Other countries don't have that condition! The girls recommended to me by Fei'er this time are all college students in the Department of Architecture and Design. Let Su Mei and those NPC designers plus those designers from Germany be able to design a perfect building. Japanese MM is responsible for foundation construction and frame design, German MM is responsible for structural arrangement, Su Mei is responsible for overall supervision and opinion modification, and NPC is responsible for the final hands-on work!

The area of ​​Essinger is not generally large, and I spent several hours just looking around. I simply handed over all the tasks to Vader and Vina, and I took the dragons and left Isengard to chase the dark army that set off ahead. If the 10 million troops of the Light Army returned to Yunxiao City, then the Dark Army should have almost arrived at Yunxiao City. If those 10 million troops are still in the canyon, then they should be at war! I took the dragon clan and flew towards the canyon from low altitude and high speed under the cover of night.

In fact, I really hope that the 10 million troops are still in the canyon. We are outnumbered and the decisive battle on the plains is better than the siege. Although Yunxiao City does not have as many weapons as Essinger, the siege is no better than the decisive battle on the plains. The losses must be in a straight line. rise! Another point is that if we attack Yunxiao City and drag down a large number of players, this will be a huge variable! The safer option is to kill the enemy in the wild, but even I don’t believe that the enemy will wait in the canyon. As long as their commander is not mentally retarded, they will definitely have returned to the city!

The dragons are very fast, and I can already vaguely see the canyon. What is the situation?
