In fact, Emperor Shi Tian originally had no shortage of metal resources, because it had a magma lake, which could continuously gush out a large amount of metal magma.

Over the years, relying on this magma lake, Emperor Shi Tian has obtained a large amount of metal resources, so he can support him to build munitions, altars, tractors, and so on.

However, as Emperor Shitian's stall became bigger and bigger, the metal resources produced by the magma lake gradually could not keep up.

And steel, a low-grade material, has no need to waste the precious Book of Mineral Veins, so Emperor Shi Tian is now a little short of iron.

This is also where Emperor Shi Tian is a little dissatisfied with the space of Jiangshan Sheji.

With such a large area, not only is there no living thing, but there are also no minerals.

The land does contain iron, but it is shared so evenly that the taste is too low, and there is basically no value for refining.

In this case, Emperor Shi Tian could only pin his hopes on the outside resource production area.

For example, the small island found this time, in addition to obtaining a large number of seashells in the surrounding area, the island also has forest resources and mineral resources.

Most of the rare trees have been removed, and the remaining ordinary trees have been cut down or taken away, and the next thing is to open the mine.

This island is actually not big, it is not small, and the radius is tens of thousands of kilometers, and there are many metal veins in it, which can not be mined in a moment and a half.

Therefore, the Flying Castle has long since left the island and continued to hurry.

On the island, there is a teleportation array, as well as a large number of miners and earth monks, who will be responsible for mining various minerals on the island.

Now the main demand is iron ore, and other metal veins, as for other minerals, what magic crystals, turquoise, can only be ranked behind.

But even so, relying only on the metal resources on this small island could not support the torrent of steel in Emperor Shitian's mind.

Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian must find a way to get more metal resources.

There is no doubt that the next safe world descended from the gods will be the best choice.

Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian has basically locked the conditions for the next god to descend into the world.

But before that, Emperor Shi Tian still had one more important thing to do, and that was to settle the Gem Lake.

As a legendary-level large-scale alchemy treasure, this thing is usually a bowl-shaped fountain.

After it is settled, it becomes a fountain pool covering an area of acres, which can also be called a small lake.

In the middle of the fountain is a gemstone sculpture more than one person high, shimmering with colorful brilliance, which is very beautiful.

And the spring water here is the water of magic, which usually has only a shallow layer, and at this time it is in a state of hunger and standby, and it will not produce gems.

Emperor Shi Tian then waved his hand, and immediately a large number of orcs appeared, pouring the magic water that had been prepared long ago, bucket by bucket.

Soon, the water level of the spring increased by a bit, but after increasing to a certain extent, it seemed that the increase in the water level slowed down.

At this time, the bottom of the clear lake begins to condense tiny gems, which at first seem to be the size of sand, but as time goes on, they also gradually grow larger.

And in this process, the magic water is rapidly consumed, fortunately Emperor Shi Tian has prepared a lot, otherwise it may have stopped.

Anyway, after a few hours, Emperor Shi Tian didn't know how much magic water he threw in, and finally a layer of magic gems the size of a pigeon's egg appeared at the bottom of the gem lake.

Emperor Shi Tian picked one up casually, and he could clearly feel the magic fluctuations inside, which should have reached the silver level.

However, what shocked Emperor Shi Tian was that this artificially created magic gem was actually purer than most magic gems and contained more magical power.

It can be used in all aspects, whether it is to make wands, or other magic tools, or to make magic furnaces, or to drive large appliances, it is very suitable.

So, Emperor Shi Tian also nodded with satisfaction, and asked Yaslian, who was in charge of this matter, "How many gems can be produced here every day?"

"It's just that this level of silver-level magic gems can produce almost 10,000 pieces a day. Yaslian shrugged and said, "But the amount of magic water needed is too terrifying, and we really can't take out enough magic water to cultivate gems beyond the necessary consumption." ”

"Then how much can we produce per day now?" Emperor Shi Tian hurriedly asked.

"Almost two or three thousand, right?" said Yaslian.

"That's enough to use it temporarily. Emperor Shi Tian said, "Anyway, our magic water production is also increasing, isn't it?"

"Of course. Yaslian nodded and said, "The current Yuelan Holy Maiden is very desperate, relying on that tree of life, she has actually built a huge habitat, the ground is full of magic moss, and the area has almost reached thousands of square kilometers. ”

"It's fast enough. Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked in surprise, "Is it the cause of the Tree of Life?"

"Of course, only the tree of life can perform such miracles. Yaslian then said, "I even suggest that in the future, the expansion of the magic moss should be focused on that side, and there is no need for the cavemen to take care of it if the aura of life of the tree of life is shrouded. It will save us a lot of resources and manpower. ”

"But that place is very dry, and there is no water to allow the magic moss to continue to grow?" asked Emperor Shi Tian with a look of surprise.

"The Tree of Life's life aura itself is magical energy, which can replace water and fertilizer and directly spawn plants. "As long as it is used well, not only can the magic moss grow and expand quickly, but even other magic plants can also get a better growth environment." ”

"Understood!" Emperor Shi Tian nodded, then frowned and said, "If the magic moss develops over there, it's not impossible, there is only one problem that is difficult to solve." ”

"You mean transportation?" asked Yaslian with a smile.

"That's right!" Emperor Shi Tian frowned and said, "That place is too far away, even if the magic water and various magic materials produced are not easy to transport, you can't use the teleportation array, right? ”

"Hehe!" Yaslian smiled and said, "I have a solution here, and I want to recommend it to you." ”

"What plan?" Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked curiously.

"It's simple, just expand our transportation team. Yaslian said proudly: "I have the best choice here, please see." ”

As she spoke, Yaslian gently hooked her hand, and soon three large plates flew from a distance.

These are three regular hexagonal metal slabs, half a foot thick and 18 meters in diameter.

The surface of the metal plate was covered with patterns, and there were many magic arrays nested in it, anyway, Emperor Shi felt dazzled when he saw it.

Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Flight module. Yaslian explained: "It belongs to my original universal machine. ”

"Universal Machine?" Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked curiously, "The tone is not small, what can you do?"

Yaslian smiled slightly and explained: "There is no weapon on the flight module, except for the flight ability, it only comes with a shield generator, which can be regarded as having a good protection ability." However, there are weapon interfaces on the flight module, which can provide magic to alchemy weapons, and there are as many as six interfaces. This means that we can use it for transportation in normal times, and in the event of war, we only need to equip it with six alchemy weapons to make it have great combat capabilities. ”

"Huh? Yes, yes. Emperor Shi Tian nodded and said: "Doing transportation in peacetime and being the main force in wartime is not small, but it seems that the necromantic airship also has this function?"

"It's different, the necromantic airship is far worse, not to mention the huge gap in transportation capacity and combat ability, let's just say that the combined ability of the flight module is not comparable to the necromantic airship. Yaslian explained.

"The flight module still has the ability to combine?" Emperor Shi immediately frowned and asked, "What is that?"

"The reason why the flight modules are hexagonal is so that they can connect to each other to form a flying dragon, or a whole flying land. Yaslian said: "Each necromantic airship needs a pilot, and after the flight modules are combined into relatively large flying objects, only one pilot is needed to control them. This saves a lot of manpower. ”

"How many pieces can be combined?" Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked curiously.

"There is no upper limit, as long as there are enough, the flight modules can even be combined into a flying castle, or even a flying continent. Yaslian said: "And there are many things that can be added to it, such as alchemy buildings, relatively large artillery units, and so on." Even a 250-millimeter cannon can be mounted. ”

"What?" Emperor Shi Tian immediately asked in shock: "The recoil of the 250mm heavy cannon is so powerful, are you sure that such a thin layer of steel plate can withstand it?"

"One layer may be a little bit of a stretch, but we can stack two or even three layers on top of each other, like three plates stacked on top of each other, and that's enough to withstand the recoil of a 250mm gun. Yaslian said with a smile: "And after stacking, they can share the magic power, and at the same time release the magic shield, which will make the cannon above more secure." ”

"Hehe, it's interesting. Emperor Shi Tian couldn't help but smile and said: "This combination ability is a bit like Princess Lionheart's flywheel robot! And they all have functions that can be used for production and combat, and they are really worthy of being called universal machines." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Shi Tian suddenly seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think that the Lanli electromagnetic ball has stolen your limelight, so you deliberately took out this thing to grab gem resources from her?"
