Wang: "I know. Let's look somewhere else, maybe there will be something like an 'operation manual'."
As he said this, he stuffed the empty energy core into the dimensional bag, took the energy core scepter back from Xiaobai, held it high and walked towards the wall of the room, where there were many murals and words.
Twenty minutes later, Wang had walked around the room along the wall and read all the murals and texts. He stopped and concluded, "This may be the last floating city built by the Cyclops Empire. This relic shows one thing: the Cyclops Empire only used mountain cutting to build floating cities in the early days.
"Starting from the middle period, the Cyclops Archmages would first use multiple small spells to transform the geology on the ground, turning the ground into a single piece of granite with a high degree of integrity, and then build facilities on the granite.
"The last step is to install the energy core and make the floating city take off. The floating city made in this way is more stable overall. It will not be like the floating cities made in the early days that were built with unrestrained methods and then collapsed due to erosion by strong winds after floating in the air for a period of time."
Flint: "The floating city will collapse?"
Wang: "Of course. This mural alone describes several cases of floating cities collapsing. And it also says that the floating cities created using mountain cutting techniques have random shapes and are difficult to add power to control their flight direction. Many of them directly floated into the westerly belt and continued to accelerate, eventually becoming satellites orbiting the planet Gralia."
Flint: "Can a rock on the ground fly up into the sky and become a satellite?"
"It can be done if the thrust is strong enough." Wang shrugged.
Maria carried the two girls and asked, "So this floating city can control the direction of flight?"
Wang: "Yes, this floating city has a power device. But it can only float at a very slow speed. But its shape can be used by wind power."
"The floating city relies on wind power?" The dwarf scratched his head. "I don't know if this thing is advanced or backward."
At this moment, a loud noise came from the golem.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a huge gem falling to the ground - it seemed that the strong acid had finally burned through the stone on the golem's chest, causing the gem carrying the machine soul to fall out.
Flint exclaimed, "Such a big gem! Carlis Newman! This is bigger than the secret treasure of the Mountain Kingdom, the Arken Gem! Previously, the High King of the Mountain Kingdom beheaded the chief craftsman because he wanted to use the Arken Gem to make a golem. Now this gem - no, no, as long as this gem appears in the world, it will cause a bloody storm!"
Wang: "Then it doesn't need to appear in the world, we will take care of everything!"
Xiaobai glanced at Wang and said, "If I didn't know your character well, I would think that you have been enchanted by the big gem. But you can't, you will only be dazzled by the big wave."
Wang: "That's not true. Such a large gem can also play a vital role in magic experiments and the creation of magic items. That's why I'm very interested in this gem."
Xiao Bai: "But the machine spirit inside is the one that wants to kill us, right?"
"Yes, so I will let it stay in the dimensional bag for a while. This way it won't cause any harm to us." As he spoke, the king walked to the gem, picked up the gem and stuffed it into the dimensional bag.
Wang: "Next I will activate the floating city."
Chapter 178 The King of Bullshit Can Even Bully the Crystal Ball
Wang took the Energy Core Staff and walked into the base. When he arrived in front of the empty Energy Core pedestal, he took out the Voice Stone and said, "Li Guang, the Lizardmen have entered the ruins, right?"
Li Guang: "Yes, we are now within the ruins, gathered at the location where the statue just stood up. This place is just right to protect the passage leading to the lower level. I have a view that these statues may be used to guard the entrance to the underground part."
Wang: "Your speculation is probably correct. Now I am going to do something that may cause the ground beneath your feet to take off."
Li Guang: "Take off... is this the kind of take off I understand?"
Wang: "That's the kind of takeoff that will happen. The floating city will once again float above the earth!"
Li Guang was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I always feel that if I travel with you, I may see many things that many lizardmen will never see in their entire lives in the remaining five years of my life."
The king reminded: "No, your people will also witness these things with you."
Li Guang was silent for a second, then replied, "You're right!"
These four words have fully expressed his emotions, but Wang cannot understand them, he can only understand them literally.
Wang: "Okay, then I'm going to activate the floating city. The two statues without energy will probably become active again after the floating city is activated. Although we have dealt with the machine soul of the floating city, the two statues may still retain the memory of the original instructions."
Li Guang: "The two statues have already entered the woods. Maybe they won't fly up with the floating city. I'll keep an eye on them."
"it is good!"
After the communication ended, Wang took the Cyclops energy core from the staff and placed it on the pedestal.
The energy core of the Cyclops Empire should be a mass-produced standard item, and it actually fits the base perfectly.
Wang: "The Cyclops' skill level is ridiculously high, although it's still a little different from the plane where the man called Slope that teacher talked about lives."
He muttered to himself as he walked out of the pedestal and said to the barbarian, "Press down the handle you just pulled up."
Barbarian: "Return to the original position?"
Wang: "No, press the original position, and the other side says 'Restart', which should be suitable for the current situation."
The barbarian nodded and was about to press the button, but Wang stopped him again: "Wait a minute! Don't be in a hurry, I'll make some preparations."
As he said this, he walked up to Elizabeth who was being held by Marika, and reached out to take out the Eye Demon Necklace that Elizabeth was wearing.
Marika: "You should have said something before you did this. I thought you were here to take advantage of me and I almost stabbed you."
Wang wiped the oil off the necklace and said, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed a lot of oil. Can girls produce so much oil?"
Xiaobai: "After all, it looks a lot like the fat under the pig skin."
The king took the Eye Demon Necklace and cast a ventriloquism spell on himself.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
Then Wang Zhan came to the crystal ball and said to the barbarian in ventriloquy: "Press the handle down!"
The barbarian said "Hi" and pushed the handle to the bottom.
The base began to rotate in the opposite direction, and Barbarian asked, "The handle is starting to rebound. Do you want me to keep pressing it?"
"No, let go."
The moment the barbarian let go, his hand bounced back to its default position.
The base of the golem was completely restored, and the next moment the lights that had been turned off in the underground space lit up again.
Then the crystal ball lit up.
Crystal Ball Speaks (Cyclops Empire): "Starting reboot. Starting self-test. No Calculation Unit detected, switching to manual start mode. Starting to identify the starter.
"A suspected initiator was detected, and there is no Cyclops among the initiators. No creature suspected of being the product of the evolution of the Cyclops was detected."
Wang used ventriloquism to say, "We have given up our useless bodies, you stupid machine."
It sounded like what the eye in the Eye Demon Necklace in his hand was saying.
The crystal ball flickered for a minute before it spoke: "We need to conduct a knowledge test to confirm that you have intelligence."
Wang: “Come on!”
Crystal Ball asked: "What are the disadvantages of mountain cutting?"
Wang immediately said a lot.
The crystal ball then asked: "What are the side effects of using the 'Cyclops Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique'?"
Wang answered again in seconds.
As he waited for the third question, the crystal ball asked back: "Can you briefly describe the current situation?"
The king replied, "The Cyclops Empire has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years, and you have become what you are now under the ravages of time. All this destruction was caused by tomb robbers."
Yes, it wasn’t caused by us anyway.
The crystal ball just kept flashing without any answer.
Seeing this, the king continued, "I am a surviving Cyclops. We gave up our inconvenient bodies. The male creature holding me is an uncivilized primitive species called humans. I enlightened him and made him my spokesperson.
"I usually like to stay on the unconscious human female over there. At this time, I have a mental connection with the spokesperson and can regard his orders as my orders."
The crystal ball was still flashing. It seemed that without the "magic calculation unit", its own processing power was unable to cope with such a complex situation.
After five minutes of flashing, Wang Xian began to panic: his ventriloquism time was almost up.
Hurry up! Broken crystal ball!
At this time, the crystal ball finally spoke: "The situation has been dealt with. In view of the fact that our unit currently lacks the ability to analyze and think about the situation, it has been decided to give command to the surviving one-eyed people. Do you need me to give command to this slave now?"
Wang: "Grant!"
Crystal Ball: "Acting Commander is logging in again. Login completed."
At this time, the ventriloquism time was over, and Wang directly asked: "Can I now command the two statues outside?"
Crystal Ball: "The heavy defense unit has been damaged and cannot be activated."
Wang: "No! They were chasing me just now...where are the slaves I brought with me!"
Crystal Ball: "Because the calculation unit was destroyed, the heavy defense unit center was also destroyed. At the same time, because the calculation unit was destroyed, all military maintenance units and military combat units in this base have been damaged. Only the automatic civilian units are still functioning."
In other words, the golems on the surface responsible for maintaining the buildings were not under the control of the "divine calculation" underground, so they escaped. However, all the military units were damaged.
Wang: "Very good... No, it's too bad! One more question, can the base still fly now?"
Crystal ball: "The flight module is functioning normally. The energy can currently last for 7 years."
No, that energy core can only fly for seven years? The same energy core can maintain the function of the fetal movement hall for hundreds of years!
You have to find an extra way to charge the other energy core, and then find a place to land and change it, right?
Wang was about to dislike this energy core that could only be used for seven years, when suddenly he thought: No, that's not right, my exam will be over in about five years, and I can't rely on the power of the tower during the exam period. After I finish the exam, I will come out of the red furnace in the tower, and then I will be able to fly forever, right?
Wait, that's not right! I don't need to stay in this plane anymore after my exams. By then, I might be a legend myself, so I can consider upgrading to gain eternity, and I can also upgrade someone in my team—
who?
Crystal ball: "Jiligulu?"
King: "Sorry, the master is on the phone with me. Identify all the two-eyed people in the floating city as friends - slaves! We will gather more slaves later, and they are all the master's property."
Master refers to the Eye Demon Necklace that has no self-awareness.
Crystal Ball: “Understood.”
Wang: "Can we use the civilian golems to carry the two damaged heavy defense units?"
Crystal Ball: "It can't be done. Why not let the slaves do it?"
Wang: "Yes...Okay! Then let the slave do it."
After that, he switched back to the common language and used the voice stone to give an order: "Li Guang, find a way to transport the two statues that fell in the dense forest back."
Li Guang: "It will take a few days to finish it. We have to burn the dense forest first, and then roll logs to cushion the fire and pull it back bit by bit."
Wang: "You can use the airship to help. I'll call everyone from the New Star Chaser."
After listening to the conversation between Wang and Li Guang, Flint asked in confusion, "Is this done? Just a ventriloquism tricked this... this crystal ball?"
