Chapter 1,265 A Day’S Work
The biggest difficulty in building the floating city was solved by Ye Ting, and the next task was to start construction.
Although Ye Ting had just taken over the position of Acting Speaker, the younger generation in Dalaran immediately saw the vigor and resoluteness of this interim leader.
There is no discussion, no wrangling, simple mobilization followed by the most direct issuance of orders.
This style made them, who had been accustomed to the parliamentary system for a long time, feel particularly awkward, as if their ideas, their talents, and their sense of autonomy did not exist at all in the eyes of that man.
Each of them is just a part in the huge machine of Dalaran. Their only choice is to follow the orders and complete the tasks delivered——no matter what method is used FO0
This kind of feeling can only exist in the military camp.
They wanted to protest, but because the entire Dalaran was in a state of war, these protests were of no use.
On the contrary, their seniors are somewhat happy with this arrangement:
"You don't have to think too much, just follow the orders and complete your tasks, and victory will come naturally. This is what it feels like to work under Boss Sander!"
At the same time, the four congressmen once again witnessed Ye Ting's superb management and dispatching skills like commanding an army after many years.
No
The level should be higher than in the past.
After leaving World of Warcraft, his experience as emperor during Xingyue Time was not in vain.
The construction of such a huge amount of floating city project was arranged in an orderly manner by Ye Ting.
The entire manpower and material resources of Dalaran were fully mobilized under his men, and even the four of them were ordered to move around.
Thousands of magicians and ordinary people began to act towards the same goal, but the whole process did not cause too much chaos, and there were very few things that hindered the entire project because of some people's mistakes.
This comprehensive level of scheduling was as if the entire process had been rehearsed in his mind.
"Sure enough, he is a born leader々々."
This was Modera's emotion afterwards.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to build a floating city.
Either let the city's foundation float in the air first, and then build the city on top; or build the city first, and then let the city float with the existing foundation in the air.
Both methods have their own pros and cons.
In the world of Faerûn, or the world of Abel Toril, the once famous arcane empire of Netheril, most of their floating cities were built using the first method:
The powerful legend Magician will use magic to cut off the top of the mountain, causing it to temporarily float in the air and invert. This forms a floating earth block with a smooth surface suitable for construction. This is the foundation of the floating city.
Since the entire process was huge and complex, a powerful magician named Proktive created a legendary spell to complete the entire set of operations, called [Proktive's Mountain Movement].
After creating a suitable foundation through [Proctive's Mountain Movement], the magicians will embed the civilization core of the Netheril Empire, the Mystic Energy Core, as the energy source of the entire floating city, and then use this to maintain constant [gravity] Inversion Technique] and [Legendary Levitation Technique] are always on the ground, giving it the ability to float in the air.
Next, you only need to build a city on the floating foundation.
The advantage of this method is that it is convenient and flexible enough, and the entire process has basically formed a stable routine and system.
The only disadvantage is that building a city usually costs a lot of energy and wealth. After all, there is a limit to the height at which a floating city can descend. 0 The cost of transporting a large amount of materials to the floating city for civil work is much higher than on flat land. .
Ye Ting used the second type, building a floating city based on existing cities.
Because the city is complete, the biggest trouble of the former solution does not exist here at all.
But using existing cities to build floating cities also has its own troubles.
That's how to separate the foundations and protect the city's buildings in the meantime.
When building a floating city, the magicians of Netheril chose to build the foundation by cutting off the hills and turning them upside down. This is certainly a project of huge amounts, and even requires the casting of several very large legendary magics.
But in terms of the amount of work, it pales in comparison to separating the foundation from the flat ground.
After all, the former only requires a direct cross-section, and the section is very simple, but the latter requires the removal of a three-dimensional arc.
However, Ye Ting also has a solution.
That is to use the magic barrier that Dalaran already has.
As mentioned before, the magic barrier is not only a hemisphere covering the sky of Dalaran, but also includes the underground part. This ensures that the enemy cannot launch an attack on Dalaran through the underground.
Even Kel'Thuzad, under such an airtight defense, could only slightly exploit the loopholes in the drainage holes and send a small force to commit petty theft.
And Ye Ting made use of the underground part of the magic barrier.
In the previous design of building Xianyang City, Ye Ting used a method similar to a magic barrier to create a huge amount of force field under Xianyang, shaped like a large bowl, to separate and isolate the foundation of the floating city from the earth.
In Dalaran, he only needed to embed this design into the magic barrier system, which not only saved effort, but was also much more convenient.
What's more, this design is very time-saving.
When the force field at the bottom is activated, it is equivalent to the entire foundation of Dalaran being installed in the "..big bowl" of this force field, and it can fly directly just by being carried by the bowl.
For the floating city, the foundation needs to be strong enough, and it is best if the entire foundation is a whole [this way there will not be a situation where twelve pieces of soil fall down or even decompose in the air during flight.
This is why the magicians of Netheril like to cut the mountain peaks - these peaks are naturally one piece.
However, it is not so convenient to build a floating city based on an existing city.
Most cities are built on plains composed of sand. Therefore, their foundations cannot be a complete piece and need to be processed with a lot of magic such as [turn mud into stone] (Zhao Hao).
This is a long-term job, or in other words, it is the most difficult and time-consuming part of the entire floating city project.
And Dalaran just lacks time.
Ye Ting's design solved this problem.
Through the force field, the entire city is lifted up by a bowl and then flies away. What is saved is not just a day or two. As for the problem of reinforcing the foundation, it can be dealt with slowly after it flies up.
Ye Ting's use of magic barriers didn't end there.
The force field added to the magic barrier not only restrains the material used as the foundation, but also has a function to restrain the anti-gravity field.
Through the magic barrier, Dalaran's anti-gravity field is completely constrained within a spherical range, and the barrier's force field completes the closed loop, greatly reducing the consumption of magic power.
In short, through his own exquisite design and the work of everyone in Dalaran working in three shifts, Ye Ting was able to complete the basic transformation of the floating city in Dalaran in one day.
