Chapter 153 Huge Energy Gap, Abandoned Element Pool
After a thorough search, Sunan found nothing valuable, so he went straight to the next floor.
The third floor is an area divided into multiple halls, mainly various leisure and entertainment venues.
"Leisure area?"
This kind of area usually doesn't yield anything, so after a simple search, Sunan went straight to the next floor.
Starting from the third floor, there are the training area (including meditation room and spell training room), workshop area (including magic item workshop and puppet factory), experimental area, and warehouse area.
Among them, the workshop area is filled with hundreds of clay and stone golems.
However, it looks like it hasn't been activated for a long time, probably because of the lack of energy.
The experimental area is also empty, with no valuable things such as experimental notes.
The same is true for the warehouse area.
"The layout of this place is similar to my base. With a little modification, it can be used as Base No. 3."
Sunan nodded secretly and continued to explore upwards.
Until the twelfth floor, the situation finally changed.
The twelfth floor looked like an extremely spacious laboratory, with a large number of workbenches arranged. The difference was that a special area was set aside, with dozens of huge transparent glass jars placed.
Each glass jar was filled with green or blue liquid, and inside were strange creatures, some sub-dragon species, and other species of creatures. Sunan even saw organs such as limbs and skulls that were suspected to be pure-blooded dragons.
Surprised, he opened one of the glass jars and took out a dragon head, but was greatly disappointed after a careful inspection.
Perhaps because of improper storage for a long time, the essence in the dragon head has been lost and turned into worthless waste.
Sunan reluctantly opened the glass jars one by one to check, and the results were the same.
"That's right, after all, thousands of years have passed. No matter how powerful the preservation function of these facilities is, it is impossible for these biological organs to last so long."
Sighing, Sunan gathered his thoughts and continued to the next floor.
The thirteenth and fourteenth floors were exactly the same, with a large number of workbenches and glass jars arranged.
Obviously, like the twelfth floor, they are all transformation areas.
The organisms and biological organs in the glass jars have long lost their effectiveness.
"It seems that the builders of the ecological park attach great importance to biological transformation."
Su Nan thought thoughtfully.
When he was in Area 1 of the ecological park before, he had seen many sub-dragon species that he had never seen before.
At that time, he thought it was his own problem. After all, there are countless sub-dragon species, and no one can recognize them all. It is normal to occasionally see unfamiliar ones, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Those unfamiliar sub-dragon species are probably not the original races, but new sub-dragon species cultivated by the transformation of this ecological park.
After visiting the first fourteen floors, there is only one floor left.
Su Nan already had a guess in his mind, took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation array.
After a flash in front of his eyes, he has come to a wide platform.
The platform is made of white stone, and the surface is carved with dense patterns, which has a mysterious beauty.
"White marble!" Su Nan's eyes are slightly fixed.
White marble is a fine-grained marble with a white color and a hard texture. It is a high-quality building and carving material.
When building a wizard tower, many wizards would choose white marble as the main material.
Looking around the platform, it is a vast starry sky, with countless stars dotted on it, and the dazzling Milky Way across it, which makes people feel very small.
After admiring it for a moment, Sunan retracted his gaze and looked at the deepest part of the platform.
There is a square pool of ten meters long and ten meters wide, which is paved with white marble and covered with a layer of silver coating on the surface. The coating is densely packed with patterns, but it is engraved with a super-large energy-gathering array.
"Element pool!"
Sunan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this ecological park also built an element pool.
Although it looks small, it is not even a small element pool. At most, it can only be regarded as a micro element pool, but it is also very good.
After all, the element pool is the standard configuration of the wizard tower's energy supply system.
"It seems that the small amount of energy needed to maintain the operation of the ecological park's energy circulation system is provided by this element pool."
The operating principle of the element pool is to open a channel from the element plane, extract elemental energy from the element plane, and continuously provide unlimited and stable energy.
It is a high-level energy supply device, which is far more efficient than setting up magic energy transmission pipelines on the ground vein nodes.
Many large facilities use element pools as energy supply devices, the most common of which is the wizard tower.
A small element pool is enough to maintain the basic needs of a wizard tower.
However, building an element pool requires a large amount of gems, special metals and various rare materials, which is extremely expensive and requires certain skills in [Magic Item Manufacturing].
Even if they are formal wizards, not everyone can afford to build an element pool.
Thousands of years ago, when the density of energy particles in the Starlight Continent decreased, some wizards once thought of borrowing the method of building an element pool, opening the element plane channel, and introducing elemental energy to increase the density of energy particles, but they failed in the end.
With fewer channels, the elemental energy introduced from the element plane cannot keep up with the speed of energy loss.
The increase in the number of channels is equivalent to chiseling countless holes in the plane barrier of the Starlight Continent, which greatly reduces the isolation and protection functions of the plane barrier. A large number of alien creatures pass through the plane barrier and enter the Starlight Continent, causing many disasters.
Many elemental gods even took the opportunity to extend their tentacles into the Starlight Continent.
In the end, the wizards had to give up the idea of doing more harm than good and drinking poison to quench their thirst.
"It's a pity that the elemental pool has been abandoned."
After checking it over, Sunan came to a conclusion.
Think about it, if the element pool can still operate, the ecological park will not be in the dilemma of insufficient energy.
"If this element pool can be repaired and activated, the energy supply of the ecological park will be guaranteed."
Sunan's face showed joy.
Although repairing the element pool is not an easy task, it is easier than building an element pool from scratch. He is still somewhat sure.
After recovering from the joy, Sunan looked at the crystal ball next to the elemental pool.
The crystal ball is round, purple-blue in color, with a radius of about half a meter. It is suspended in mid-air sixty or seventy centimeters above the ground, glowing slightly.
According to his experience, if nothing unexpected happens, this crystal ball is probably the control hub of the ecological park.
Coming to the crystal ball, Sunan thought for a while, took out the key and placed it on the surface of the crystal ball.
"The startup source is detected and the management system is officially started."
"Scan the user status and it meets the standards. Do you want to log in?"
"Log in." Sunan said without hesitation.
"Logged in."
"The manager queue is currently blank, and the login authority level has been raised to the highest level."
"Welcome to Longlin Ecological Park. Master, Butler No. 1 will serve you."
Housekeeper?
Su Nan's eyes flashed slightly.
When he heard the sound coming from the Dragon Skeleton Tower before, he guessed whether there was an intelligent assisted life like a tower spirit in the ecological park. Now it seems that he was right.
However, the performance of this thing should be far inferior to that of the Tower Spirit. At most, it is only a little more advanced than the puppet beings such as the Adamantine Golem.
If it is a real tower spirit, even if there is no order from the controller for a thousand years, it can still choose the optimal way to run the ecological park, so that the ecological park will not become what it is now.
"No. 1, check the status of the ecological park." Sunan issued the first order.
"Start self-testing!"
"Scanning."
"Building three-dimensional models."
"Scan completed."
A glimmer of light emerged, and countless rays of light overflowed from the crystal ball, intertwining and outlining a three-dimensional model above. It was a 3D panoramic view of the ecological park that had been shrunk countless times.
There is also a lot of text marked next to it.
[Ecological Park: Longlin]
[Level: Large (Damage 69.34%)]
[Current remaining energy: 38.79%]
[Intelligent Assisted Life: Butler No. 1]
[Area: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3]
[Facilities (Dragon Skeleton Tower): Residential Area, Warehouse Area, Experimental Area, Training Area, Workshop Area, Transformation Area Control Center, Element Pool (Micro)]
[Servant: Clay Golem×182]
[Protective device: Large space barrier (damage degree 3.48%)]
[Combat Device: Golem Legion (Stone Golem × 145)]
"Less than 39% of energy left."
Sunan clicked on three areas in turn.
[Zone 1: Operating state, the minimum energy required to maintain operation is 24.28%, the optimal energy is 35.12%]
[Zone 2: Suspended state, minimum energy required to maintain operation is 53.66%, optimal energy is 73.41%]
[Zone 3: Running state, the minimum energy required to maintain operation is 3.06%]
"Zone 2 will occupy at least 50% more energy!"
Su Nan was secretly stunned. No wonder Area 2 was abandoned and abandoned.
After all, it is an area where dragons are raised, and the amount of energy consumed is indeed staggering.
"It seems that the first step is to restore the energy to above 81%."
The minimum energy required in the three areas adds up to more than 81%.
As long as the energy of the ecological park is restored above this limit, the ecological environment of Area 2 can be gradually restored while maintaining the operation of Area 1 and Dragon Skeleton Tower.
After the ecological environment of Zone 2 is restored, we will consider how to restore the dragon population.
"Open the energy tank." Sunan ordered.
With a click, the ground next to the crystal ball slowly opened, and a hollow stone pillar protruded from it.
Su Nan took out all the magic stones in the space ring and threw them into the stone pillars.
After a while, the data next to the three-dimensional model suddenly changed, and the remaining energy changed from 38.79% to 38.81%, an increase of 0.02%.
"Two hundred and thirty-five low-level magic stones only increase the energy value by 0.02%!"
Sunan couldn't help but take a breath.
Based on this calculation, in order to increase the energy to 81%, at least half a million lower-level magic stones must be invested!
The cost is almost 900,000 gold coins!
Even if he doesn't use a single gold coin from now on, it will take him four to five years to save all of it.
This is why he can make magic stones at extremely low cost.
If it were other wizard apprentices who really wanted to use magic stones to increase their energy, they would never be able to restore the ecological environment of Zone 2 in their lifetime.
This shows how much energy the eco-park consumes!
"61% energy requires so many magic stones. I don't know how many magic stones I need to invest to restore it to 100%. It seems that this method will not work. We still have to find a way to repair the element pool."
After thinking for a moment, Sunan made a calculation in his mind and issued a new order.
"No. 1, how much energy does it take to repair the space barrier?"
The top priority is to fill the gap in the ecological park first, lest the sub-dragon species in Area 1 escape again and attract more wizard apprentices or intelligent creatures of other races.
"It consumes 6.23% energy."
Sunan quickly estimated that after repairing the space barrier, the remaining energy was enough to meet the minimum energy required for the operation of areas 1 and 3.
At worst, I'll throw in some magic stones later to increase the energy.
Thinking of this, Sunan immediately issued a repair order.
"Repair has begun and is expected to take 18 hours, 35 minutes and 32 seconds."
Watching the three-dimensional model slowly disappear, Su Nan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
Although no valuable treasures were found in the Dragon Skeleton Tower, the Dragon Forest itself was already the biggest gain.
With Longlin as the foundation, he can build a base with more complete functions and facilities and a safer base.
Moreover, the tens of thousands of sub-dragon species and countless rare magic plants in the Dragon Forest are also a huge wealth.
As long as the element pool is repaired, it is equivalent to having an inexhaustible treasure house of materials.
Before being promoted to a wizard and building a wizard tower, Long Lin can completely serve as his base and develop and expand his power on top of it.
"After the element pool is repaired, Base No. 1 can be moved in."
Dragon Forest is a half-dimensional space with no fixed position in the material world. As long as Sunan, as the controller, opens a channel in the material world, he can enter Dragon Forest.
At the same time, outside the Dragon Skeleton Tower.
The traveler couldn't help but look at the Dragon Bone Tower, with undisguised envy in his eyes.
As a wizard's apprentice, he knew very well the huge benefits of acquiring a large ecological park.
Whether it is the improvement of personal strength or the development of power, it has extremely obvious benefits.
But he also knew very well that this ecological park was not something he could care about.
On the one hand, he cannot beat the players, and on the other hand, it is also because even if he gets the ecological park, he does not have the capital to provide sufficient energy for the ecological park.
But players are different.
I heard from Ye Xiao that the player has vast resources that far exceed those of ordinary third-level wizard apprentices. Maybe he has a way to solve the problem of insufficient energy in the ecological park.
"Looking on the bright side, if Sunan can really solve the problem of the ecological park, if you want Yalong blood in the future, you can buy it from him."
The traveler thought secretly.
At this moment, the door of the Dragon Bone Tower suddenly opened with a rumble, and Sunan walked out.
The traveler hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help his curiosity, went up to him and asked:
"How about it?"
"There are many problems." Su Nan shrugged and said, "But the gaps in the ecological park are already being repaired, and it will not take long to be fully restored. What are you going to do next?"
The traveler was slightly startled.
What else can be done?
The ecological park is already your territory, how can I still stay here shamelessly?
But what surprised him was that Sunan then extended an invitation.
"Are you interested in being a guest at my place?"
