172.The Strategic Significance Of Beacons
Seeing Ningguang looking ready to sacrifice, Jiang Xuan was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Actually, six full-level beacons are not needed."
Jiang Xuan took a sip of milk.
The taste of this stuff was far worse than what Gan Yu fed him every day.
But not bad.
"I understand what you are thinking. You want to place the beacon on Qunyu Pavilion to become a mobile, large-scale strength enhancer, right?"
Ningguang nodded, this matter was mentioned by Ningguang yesterday when he was dealing with the Withering Storm.
A beacon that doesn't move is, at most, just a useful range booster for city defense.
But if it is placed in Qunyu Pavilion...
Wherever you go, you will be blessed, this is the real surefire.
"Swiftness, jumping, fire resistance, strength."
Jiang Xuan put down the cup and said softly:
"These four effects are the most important strength blessings for you. On the contrary, in this world, tapping bonuses is more important."
"So, if you want to place a beacon on Qunyu Pavilion, you don't need six full-level ones."
"Five, or four beacons are enough."
Ning Guang nodded thoughtfully.
"What's more, these actively triggered effects are completely replaceable. Even if you need to use the mining blessing, you can also choose the bonus provided by the beacon."
"From the perspective of saving materials, I think two beacons are enough.
In the final analysis, the Nether Star is still difficult to deal with.
Otherwise, Jiang Xuan doesn't care about materials like iron blocks.
Seeing Ningguang and others pondering, Jiang Xuan stood up and took a lot of iron blocks from the box on the side.
Indeed, this rarely visited underwater vacation villa also has a lot of resources.
Jiang Xuan’s habits.
Never put your eggs in the same basket17.
To put it another way, even if something unexpected happens, the manor and villa will be gone.
The resources stored here can also allow Jiang Xuan to quickly make a fortune again.
This is one of the reasons why Jiang Xuan likes to build houses.
As for the other main reason...
Building a house is fun!
Moreover, now that the MC world has been basically developed, building houses is Jiang Xuan's greatest pleasure.
He called on everyone to follow him and teleport to the new city under construction on the grassland.
Under the bright sun, Qian Yanjun and the miners were building the city enthusiastically.
However, the weather in the MC world will not be very hot or very cold.
Take the base on the snowy mountain side as an example. Even if the Qianyan Army is wearing short sleeves, they will not feel cold.
Maybe it's also a matter of Jiang Xuan's physical condition.
Dashi was looking at the design drawings and giving instructions from a distance. When he saw Jiang Xuan and others coming, he immediately rushed over with his people.
"Sir Jiang Xuan, is there anything we need to do?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded.
"It's just a beacon, just find a few people."
Dashi nodded and simply called the Qianyan Army around him to follow Jiang Xuan and the others.
Taking the drawing from Dashi, Jiang Xuan looked at it for a while and said softly:
"Do you have any plans to build the empty space in the middle?"
Dashi was stunned for a moment and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Actually...that area is a statue area planned for you adults. We plan to build a pile of statues of you, Mr. Jiang Xuan, there."
Jiang Xuan's face darkened as she inexplicably thought of the sketch of the statue of herself and Zhongli drawn by Liu Yun.
"Let's forget about the statue, because
Jiang Xuan wanted to say that he was too stupid, but considering that this was his intention, he still said tactfully:
"It's so embarrassing..."
"This area is just left, let's set up a beacon."
Naturally, Dashi would not object, nodded, and immediately stepped forward to lead the way to the center of the new city.
Many miners can already be seen on the road building outbuildings.
When I saw Jiang Xuan and the others, I greeted them warmly.
Keqing also nodded frequently.
Qianyanjun and the miners may not have any innovative ideas, but they can complete the tasks according to the plan, which is already excellent.
"With this progress, in about half a month, we will basically have the big framework, and then there will be the more troublesome details."
"In addition, we have to purchase some furniture from Liyue Port. This world is rich in resources, but there is not even decent furniture."
Ke Qing shook her head with regret.
Jiang Xuan smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
No furniture?
Indeed, the original MC world had very little practical furniture.
But MC has modules!
The modern furniture module opens.
Guaranteed to be an eye-opener for them.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the central area.
There were no people around here, and the ground was still pure grass.
I guess the construction hasn't progressed to this point yet.
Jiang Xuan took out several groups of iron blocks and handed them to the Qianyan Army, pointing to the area under his feet and saying:
"Right here, the base is 9×9, then the second layer is 7×7, the third layer is 5×5, and the fourth layer is 3×3."
"Just pile up these iron blocks."
The Qianyan Army responded in unison, and soon began to work waving iron blocks.
This process is relatively boring, but fortunately the Qianyan Army also participated in the construction, and they are still very good at it.
Qin and the others had just arrived and were very curious about everything here, watching them build the platform with relish.
It didn't take long for the pyramid-like base to be built.
"Finally, the beacon..."
Jiang Xuan took out the Nether Star, looked at Ningguang and the others and said:
"The synthesis of the beacon requires three obsidian and five pieces of glass, with the Nether Star placed in the middle.
"Then, it's out!"
Taking out the beacon from the workbench, Lisa shook her head helplessly.
"In Teyvat, the creation of any tools and equipment requires a long process. But here, it can be completed by arranging them directly."
"It really subverts my common sense every moment."
Jiang Xuan shrugged and chuckled:
"This kind of operation is common sense in this world!"
After that, Jiang Xuan took the beacon and climbed to the top of the base.
He turned to look at everyone, all staring at him expectantly.
Jiang Xuan didn't hesitate and placed the beacon on the base.
A ripple swept across a hundred meters radius, and then a bright beam of light shot straight into the sky.
That kind of brightness, even in broad daylight, makes the surroundings feel much brighter.
At night, the light is probably no weaker than the sun.
"Almost forgot."
Jiang Xuan patted his head, spread his hands and said:
"The light of the beacon is one of the brightest in the world, so if you get lost, you can still move in the direction of the beacon."
Ningguang pursed his lips and said helplessly:
"This is a bit troublesome. Is it possible that there should be a few more light pillars on the Qun Jade Pavilion that never stop day and night?"
Think about it at night, the five sky-reaching light pillars above Qunyu Pavilion ignite the darkness.
Ning Guang felt that Qunyu Pavilion might not be suitable for resting in the future.
...
Isn’t this beacon too eye-catching?
Not far away, Qian Yanjun and the miners seemed to have seen the light here. Faintly, many people could be heard rushing here in a hurry.
Keqing said softly:
"Tell them everything is fine and there is no need to come."
"yes!"
A Qianyan Army member responded, turned around and ran back in a hurry.
Jiang Xuan also waved and motioned for everyone to board the beacon base.
"Can I choose the blessing effect?"
Ning Guang looked at Jiang Xuan curiously, and the latter motioned for her to put her hand on the beacon.
Suddenly, a strange interface appeared in front of Ningguang's eyes, similar to a personal panel.
"See that space down there?"
Jiang Xuan whispered a reminder in Ningguang's ear, who turned slightly red and nodded.
"Place any of the minerals prompted above, then select the effect you want to bless, and then you can trigger the beacon blessing."
Ning Guang gathered his thoughts, nodded, put in a group of iron ingots, and chose Mobile Blessing.
In an instant, everyone present felt that their bodies seemed to become lighter.
Turning his head, Jiang Xuan looked at Dashi and said:
"Move outward and see the extent of your blessings."
Dashi also nodded excitedly and immediately ran away.
At this moment, everyone saw his speed.
The same movement speed as drinking the primary speed potion.
Ning Guang frowned slightly and looked at the logo on the other side of the panel in front of him.
In addition to representing the restoration of life, there is also a distinctive mark.
"Speed 2..."
Ning Guang pondered for a moment, clicked on the sign on the right, and then reselected the jump on the left.
Visible to the naked eye, the speed of the stone is getting faster and faster.
Even the jump height has been increased.
"So, the blessing effects we now have with 520 are speed two, jump one, and life recovery one."
Ning Guang nodded thoughtfully, and while he was deep in thought, Dashi suddenly stopped not far away, turned around and shouted loudly:
"Lord Jiang Xuan! The effect disappears here!"
Hearing this, everyone quickly looked over and estimated the radius.
"A hundred meters in radius?"
Lisa frowned slightly.
"Can it only provide blessings within a radius of 100 meters? The flying height of Qunyu Pavilion is more than 100 meters."
No one will question the power of beacons, but the status blessing distance provided by beacons is too short.
You can’t say that there are beacons placed all over Liyue, right?
The material is easy to say, but what about the Nether Star?
How could there be so many withering storms for them to destroy?
Just when Lisa and others were a little worried, Jiang Xuan calmly shook his head.
"The laws of the world are different."
Hearing this, Lisa's heart moved and she had some guesses.
"You mean..."
"Remember how high the jumping potion can jump in this world?"
Seeing Jiang Xuan's confident look, Lisa suddenly realized.
"So, the laws of the world are different, the blessings provided are also different, and the scope of influence will also change?"
If you drink the jumping potion in this world, you can jump up to one meter more, but if you throw it in Teyvat, Qianyanshi can jump more than ten meters after drinking it.
If calculated according to this increase effect...
The blessing provided by the beacon should be more than one thousand meters, and the power increase provided by the beacon will also increase the effect accordingly.
However, I still have to go back and see for myself how it works.
After thinking about it, everyone became a little impatient.
"Jiang Xuan, shall we go back now to test the beacon's effect?"
Ke Qing looked at Jiang Xuan excitedly.
This world is very important, but our roots are still in Teyvat.
If they can be stronger in Teyvat, it will be very convenient for developing MC.
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Jiang Xuan shrugged.
"I don't have anything else to do. Since you are anxious to try, let's go back and take a look.
