Chapter 231: Academy Meeting, Wizard Tower Completed
In order to verify his conjecture, Sunan devoted most of his energy to research in the following time.
With the assistance of Liz and Taling No. 2, the research progressed quite smoothly.
When the time came to the 1364th year of the Starlight Calendar, the first secondary star core with the ability to sense energy particle fluctuations was finally successfully manufactured.
The actual test results showed that the sensing ability of the new secondary star core was less than one percent of the star core, and it was not even qualified to be a low-end version.
But it was enough for Sunan.
After that, Sunan used the excuse of letting Liz return to the affairs of the Star Alliance, and carried out the next research alone. In fact, he started to manufacture secondary star cores and then synthesize them.
In the end, he successfully used 112 secondary star cores to synthesize a star core with a sensing ability that was not inferior to the original one.
Sunan did not stop, but continued to invest more secondary star cores for synthesis.
The original star core and the secondary star core can only cover half of the Starlight Continent at most. However, if a more powerful star core can be synthesized, and then supplemented with the new secondary star core, it is likely that a monitoring network covering the entire Starlight Continent, including the surface world and the underground world, can be established.
Two monitoring networks are always not as convenient and easy to use as a wider and more complete monitoring network.
After hundreds of tests, Sunan finally synthesized a satisfactory new star core.
The cost was the use of more than 300 secondary star cores, with a cost of 200 million gold coins, which almost emptied the cash flow of the Star Alliance.
For this reason, Sunan had to delay the construction of the built-in golem army in the wizard tower and give priority to the supply of funds.
"The cost of this thing exceeds the large element pool."
Looking at the crystal ball in front of him that looked as beautiful as the starry sky, Sunan couldn't help but sigh.
But it's worth the money. Compared with a monitoring network covering the entire continent, a mere 200 million gold coins is nothing.
When Sunan came to Liz with the synthesized new star core, the latter was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
It was fine that he had improved the secondary star core before, but now he actually made a star core without any design drawings, and further improved it to improve the effect!
What a group of wizards from the Falling Star Society couldn't do in thousands of years, was done by Sunan alone in just a few years!
This is almost the same as a miracle!
Liz couldn't help but wonder if Sunan was actually an old monster wizard who had lived for tens of thousands of years and then reborn in a body.
".You really can bring me surprises every time."
With a sigh, Liz looked at the crystal ball in front of her, and her heart was also surging.
"With this star core, it should be no problem to build a monitoring network covering the entire continent."
Sunan asked: "How long will it take to complete?"
Lize thought for a while and said: "The construction of the monitoring network is not difficult. As long as the nodes are calculated and the secondary star cores are arranged, it will be fine. We have a complete transmission network, which is still very convenient and fast. It can be completed in one or two years."
"The premise is that there is enough money."
"To cover the entire continent, at least more than 300 new secondary star cores are needed, plus other material expenses, the total cost will be at least 300 million gold coins. The Star Alliance does not have so much money now."
Speaking of this, Liz couldn't help but glance at Sunan, and the meaning was self-evident.
In addition to building wizard towers and developing new star cores, more than 80% of the funds of the Star Alliance in recent years have been used by Sunan.
Of course, she is not condemning Sunan.
After all, Sunan's strength is the strength of the Star Alliance.
The special environment of the Starlight Continent has created a special situation for the Star Alliance that is very different from other wizard forces, that is, the development and growth of the Star Alliance depends entirely on Sunan.
If Sunan is lost, the Star Alliance will not fall apart immediately, but at least its strength will be greatly reduced and it will never regain its former glory.
In this case, it is reasonable for the Star Alliance to invest all its funds in Sunan.
Moreover, whether it is building a wizard tower or developing a new star core, it will be of great benefit to the development of the Star Alliance.
"How much money can be withdrawn now?" Sunan asked.
Li Ze handed over a document and said, "The Starlight Continent has developed well in recent years. The Star Alliance now has an annual income of nearly 20 million gold coins. Without reducing the investment in the construction of the wizard tower, about 8 million gold coins can be withdrawn every year."
"We can start building a monitoring network now. As long as we slow down the speed and invest money in the middle, it will be completed in about 40 years. In this way, the manpower pressure will not be too great."
Sunan frowned slightly.
Forty years is not a long time, he can still wait.
But this question once again made him realize the limitations of the Starlight Continent.
The Starlight Continent itself is so large that the annual income can be almost fixed without exhausting the pond.
Without communication with the outside world, the income generated by the Starlight Continent is impossible to achieve a sharp increase in a short period of time.
If you want to increase the income, you can only develop the Starlight Continent little by little and improve the overall level.
It is precisely because of this that Sunan wants to vigorously promote sub-magic energy technology.
Only by carrying out productivity reform can the Starlight Continent create more income.
It will take at least three or four hundred years to truly promote sub-magic energy technology.
In the short term, the income of the Star Alliance will not have a significant increase.
"That's it, the construction of the monitoring network will be left to you."
Lize nodded and said, "By the way, you should give this plan a name so that it is convenient to call it."
Sunan said without hesitation, "Let's call it the Eye of the Stars Project. The name Eye of the Stars is just right."
The Eye of the Stars, the eye of the Starlight Continent, is very suitable for the monitoring network.
So after the secondary magic stone vein and transmission network plan, the Star Alliance ushered in a major project called the 'Eye of the Stars Project'.
The matter of the Eye of the Stars came to an end, and Sunan was able to free up his hands and continue to invest in the construction of the wizard tower.
After synthesizing a large-scale maze protective energy field, the defense part of the wizard tower combat device was declared completed. In terms of attack, only the spell turret type II and the golem army were left.
And just when Sunan was concentrating on refining golems and spell turrets, Tower Spirit No. 1 suddenly sent a message.
In the training room where the traveler was, the breath of life disappeared.
As soon as he got the news, Sunan immediately opened the training room where the traveler was, and what came into his eyes was the traveler's body sitting cross-legged on the ground motionless.
With a sweep of his mental power, Sunan immediately determined that the life force of the traveler had completely dissipated.
He still failed to cross the last level after all.
Before the breakthrough, his lifespan came to an end.
The Scepter, who came later, saw this scene and sighed, with a sad look and a hint of relief.
The sadness was because of the failure and death of his friend.
The relief was because he was lucky to have broken through, otherwise he would have ended up like the traveler.
"What a pity, judging from the traveler's appearance, it is very likely that he is only a little short of it." The Scepter sighed and said.
Until now, the body of the traveler is still entangled with rich energy particles. Obviously, his talent crystal structure has reached the last step. If he can hold on for a few more years, he may be able to cross that level.
Unfortunately, this last step is often the difference between heaven and earth.
How many wizard apprentices are just one step short of this.
After all, they are wizards, and they have seen many similar situations. Sunan and the Scepter quickly adjusted their moods.
"I wonder how Rose is doing now?"
"Her life breath is still there, at least she hasn't failed yet."
"Fakado and the others are also planning to sprint in seclusion recently. Let's not talk about others, but Fakado's chance of breaking through is still quite high."
As the patriarch of the Russell family, Fakado's situation is much better than that of ordinary wizard apprentices.
Since he was young, the family has poured a lot of resources into him, and he has been promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice smoothly all the way. Later, he joined the Star Alliance and had more sufficient resource support.
If you want to say who has the highest chance of being promoted to a wizard among all the mentors in the academy, it is definitely Fakado.
Su Nan nodded without denying.
Starlight Academy has now entered a stable development period.
The three-level echelon construction of wizard apprentices has been very complete, and sooner or later there will be a third and fourth wizard.
In particular, the construction of a large element pool has greatly reduced the difficulty of filling the talent crystal model with mental power, and has greatly increased the success rate of apprentices being promoted to wizards.
In a few hundred years, the number of wizards in the Star Alliance will most likely soar to double digits.
"Whether Rose can break through should be a matter of the next few years." Sunan said.
However, things developed much faster than he expected.
Just three months later, violent energy particle fluctuations broke out again in the wizard tower.
Rose was promoted to a wizard!
Following Sunan and the Scepter, the Star Alliance welcomed the third official wizard.
The two immediately came to wait outside Rose's practice room.
Swish!
The door of the practice room opened, and Rose came out with a radiant look, and her breath seemed more condensed and profound.
"Congratulations."
"Congratulations on your promotion to a wizard."
Sunan and the Scepter both congratulated.
"Thank you."
Rose smiled brightly, and she was extremely excited about her successful promotion to a wizard.
Like the Scepter before, at this moment she also felt that the world was suddenly clear.
"By the way, where is the traveler?" Rose asked doubtfully when she saw that there were only Sunan and the two of them.
Sunan did not answer, but just shook his head.
Seeing this, Rose immediately understood, and the joy brought by the promotion and breakthrough suddenly decreased a lot. She smiled and sighed.
"This kind of thing will happen again and again in the future, just get used to it." The scepter comforted.
Rose is not a sentimental little girl, and she quickly calmed down and asked the two about what to do after being promoted to a wizard.
When she heard about the wizard expedition and the blockade repair of the plane barrier, Rose was also shocked.
". I didn't expect that there was such a reason behind the special environment of the Starlight Continent." Rose looked half worried and half happy.
What was worried was that after being promoted to a wizard, she would have to face the problem of the upper limit of the concentration of energy particles, and the efficiency of cultivation would be greatly affected.
What was happy was that fortunately this situation would be restored in more than 600 years, so there would be no hope of being promoted to a second-level wizard.
"The plane barrier repair is not something we can affect, and there is no point in worrying, just focus on cultivation."
Su Nan comforted, and then changed the subject.
"Also, I plan to let you be the vice president of Starlight Academy. What do you think?"
Rose agreed without much hesitation. The reason was the same as the reason for the scepter, which was also for better treatment.
In Sunan's vision, the senior management of Starlight Academy will all be wizards. One dean and four vice deans will form the Academy Council to coordinate all matters of Starlight Academy and report directly to the Star Alliance controller.
In the future, as the size of Starlight Academy expands, the number of members of the Academy Council may increase, but it is enough for the time being.
At least wait until the five deans have enough people.
With the addition of Rose, the speed of refining spell turrets and adamantine golems has increased a lot.
It just so happens that enough mithril has been accumulated, so Sunan simply temporarily handed this part of the work to Rose and the scepter and began to make the floating ring.
Starlight calendar 1370, Xialong month (June).
The floating ring is manufactured, and the energy supply part of the Starlight Wizard Tower is completely completed.
Starlight calendar 1372, New Moon Flower month (May).
Sunan synthesized the 300th spell turret II and placed it on the wizard tower.
So far, the ultra-long-range strike device of the wizard tower is completed.
Including 300 Spell Turret II and one Dissociation Turret II.
This firepower is the best number that a large element pool can carry, and it is meaningless to have more.
Starlight Calendar 1373, Thunder Month (April).
Falcardo successfully promoted to wizard, becoming the fourth official wizard of the Star Alliance, and on the second day of his breakthrough, he was appointed by Sunan as the second vice president of the Starlight Academy.
But at the same time, four third-level wizard apprentices failed to break through and died.
Starlight Calendar 1385, Harvest Month (September).
The wizard tower's built-in golem army was completed, including 5,000 enchanted adamantine golems, 20 touch puppets and five secret puppets.
So far, the construction of the wizard tower only has some finishing work and the last tower spirit.
The next year, Sunan created Tower Spirit No. 3, which is responsible for combat command.
However, considering that there will be no battles for a long time, Sunan temporarily let Tower Spirit No. 3 take charge of the management of Longlin.
As for the butler No. 1 of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, he assists the Tower Spirit No. 3.
In the year 1387 of the Starlight Calendar, the month of resurrection (February).
The Starlight Wizard Tower was officially completed.

High in the sky, looking at the majestic tower in front of him, Su Nan's heart surged.
Now, he also has his own wizard tower! (End of this chapter)
