645: Construct an energy harvesting array! Forge a reserve army!

Silent Abyss.

Zhongyan City.

There was one hour and twenty minutes left until the start of the war.

Zhao Jiu and Su Lin stood on the East City Gate Tower, watching the magnificent light blooming around them, a crystalline tear drop shimmering in their eyes.

"Phew! To have such a Lord is truly our fortune!"

Zhao Jiu exhaled a mouthful of stale air, speaking solemnly and seriously.

If this were under a different Lord,

only the Vassals would be busy.

But with Su Lie, not only did he arrange everything perfectly, but he also did it personally.

A Lord who handles everything personally like this

is truly rare in the Mist World!

Moreover,

what moved him the most was

Su Lie generously opened up all the precious resources in the warehouse and even gave each of them 1 Jishu Point of Mist Points.

This was a resource they couldn't earn in a lifetime.

At this moment, besides feeling moved, Zhao Jiu secretly resolved to repay his Lord's benevolence with his death in this battle.

He previously didn't understand why ancient warriors were willing to rush forward and die for their generals.

What kind of spirit supported such selflessness!

Now he finally understood.

Zhao Lin, standing beside him, nodded. She looked up at the city: "The city affairs have been properly arranged, and all departments are familiarizing themselves with everything in Zhongyan City!"

"My only worry now is whether Zhongyan City can withstand the enemy's attack!"

Speaking of this,

she clenched her fist: "No matter what! We must show the might of my Silent Abyss in this battle! We cannot be soft-hearted when facing the enemy!"

"Hahaha! Soft-hearted? No! I will, with lofty ambition, eat the flesh of the Barbarians when hungry, and laughingly drink the blood of the Xiongnu when thirsty! These foreign races think the Human Race has no one; we will show them! My Silent Abyss has no Cowards!"

Zhao Jiu laughed heartily.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

At that moment, figures were teleported in next to them.

These people were the generals under the command of the Yinglong Legion and the Black Tortoise Army.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiu and the other person strode into the City Gate Tower.

Inside, there was a holographic projection war table, on which various pieces of information had already been marked.

The many generals who had been teleported in glanced at the light constantly shining in the distance.

They saluted the location where Su Lie was, then turned and entered the City Gate Tower.

The first pre-war military meeting of Zhongyan City of the Silent Abyss officially began.

At the same time,

inside the city.

One hundred billion Little Skeletons of the Silent Army Legion were all in place.

Currently, less than 10 billion Little Skeletons remained in the core territory performing normal guard duties.

Among these 100 billion Little Skeletons of the Silent Army Legion,

one million Iron Kun Warships of the Yinglong Legion were all in position and had begun patrolling along the planned routes inside Zhongyan City.

Aside from the 2 billion Little Skeletons required for the warships, the Legion had nearly 30 million Little Skeletons responsible for the management, operation, maintenance, command, and communication of the Inner City Military Port area.

In addition,

the Black Tortoise Army had 1 billion Little Skeletons and 3,000 Vassals entering various departments of Zhongyan City for auxiliary profession induction training and management work.

Although there were no residents or visitors in the city,

according to Zhao Jiu and the others, the Little Skeletons should all be deployed to the legions and not wasted within the city.

Su Lie insisted on doing so, wanting to use the opportunity of this war to let the Little Skeletons and Vassals managing various posts in Zhongyan City familiarize themselves with the corresponding work procedures, so that they could smoothly manage the city's operation in the future.

Of the remaining 6.97 billion Little Skeletons, 4,000 Little Skeletons were responsible for the operation of the floating air port outside the four city gates.

4 billion Little Skeletons were responsible for matters concerning wall defense.

Of the 2.93 billion Little Skeletons, 120 million Little Skeletons of the Thunder Dragon Legion, acting as a special legion, were undergoing concentrated training and familiarization work inside the Military Base in the Inner City.

10 million served as garrison soldiers for the Thunder Dragon Legion and the camps of the various legions.

2 billion Little Skeletons served as the Main Combat Legion, divided into 4 small legions.

Each legion consisted of 500 million Little Skeleton warriors, stationed in the residential areas next to the four gates.

Furthermore,

among Su Lie's 5 million Vassals, 2 million Vassals of the Fishing Corps, led by Wang Dalong, had started fishing one after another by the Xuan Lake.

Everyone was holding their breath, swearing to fish out the decisive weapon Su Lie had mentioned.

The 2.65 million Vassals of the Resource Corps, led by Ling Xu, were working in the Grazing Area and Resource Area. Some Farmer professionals had arrived in the Central Ring Area of Zhongyan City and applied for certain sections to cultivate important resources and crops needed by the territory.

Some Vassals with city management experience were transferred to Zhongyan City to take up auxiliary positions.

The 250,000 Vassals of the Combat Corps, led by Lin Xi, did not enter Zhongyan City.

They were performing Thousand Silk Heart Refinement beneath the Eternal Thousand Silk Bodhi Tree in the Secondary Space of the Planting Area.

The Eternal Thousand Silk Bodhi Tree possesses the special effect of Thousand Silk Heart Refinement, allowing all life forms meditating beneath it to enter a Heart-Refining Illusion to temper their minds.

Another group of people were sitting cross-legged on a nearby empty plot, resembling old monks in deep meditation.

They were using the effect of the three lives pear to enter the illusion of Three Lives, Three Worlds for trial.

Some Vassals had powerful minds and had already consumed the three lives pear six times consecutively... just as everything was proceeding smoothly.

Buzz!

Su Lie finally completed the construction of 1.2 million sun god towers and 62,772 War Cannons, with 40 minutes remaining until the start of the war.

All of this seemed impossible,

but for Su Lie, who possessed countless Rang Points of basic attribute values and the Power of Instant Movement, this was merely normal speed.

After completing the construction of these buildings,

Su Lie stretched lazily and glanced at the territory group's chat panel.

Casual chatting was now prohibited in the group chat panel.

The tasks and deployment status of all departments would be reported on this chat page.

"The execution efficiency of the departments is quite high!"

Su Lie nodded.

Immediately afterward,

his figure flickered, and he instantly moved to the Inner City of the Floating City, near the Military Port area.

"I will construct Energy Collectors in this area and connect them to the entire Zhongyan City! And the palace buildings here... can all be converted into Barracks!" Su Lie murmured softly to himself.

He selected 10 palaces around the port area and meticulously divided and cleared the empty spaces within them.

By this time,

he had calculated the energy required for Zhongyan City's daily consumption.

"Calculating based on each War Cannon condensing 1 million rounds of ammunition, it would require at least 62.772 billion extreme point of Mist Energy to allow them to fire lavishly! I will arrange double that energy for them, meaning at least 200 billion extreme point of energy reserve is needed!"

Su Lie wrote down the calculated data.

He immediately continued: "Calculating based on each sun god tower continuously releasing energy for 24 hours, the Energy Pool needs a reserve of 1,036 Ji and 8,000 Zai of energy to operate!"

"Furthermore, to maintain the Ultra-Flame State, calculating again based on 24 hours, this requires an energy supply of 86.4 million extreme point!"

"Adding the energy required for Zhongyan City's own consumption... my Energy Pool must maintain an energy reserve of at least 400 billion extreme point!"

"Calculating based on Zhongyan City's current speed of only condensing 1 extreme point of energy reserve into the xuanhuang energy pool per day... Zhongyan City can only maintain basic operations and cannot sustain the defensive structures' aggressive attacks!"

"Therefore, Energy Collectors must be constructed in large quantities!"

Pondering this, Su Lie looked at the 100,000 square kilometer area beneath his feet: "Only less than 10,000 square kilometers can be freely used for construction! In that case, at least 1 billion Energy Collectors can be built... That should be enough!"

After the plan was complete,

Su Lie began using the Divine Sense condensed through his Purple Mansion Divine Ability, manipulating 5,652 units of construction resources at a time and placing them in the corresponding areas.

After Su Lie successfully constructed one Energy Collector using the blueprint,

his subsequent construction was countless times faster than the first.

On average, he could complete 3,000 material placements and activate the the rules of constructing buildings via blueprints per second.

Viewed from afar, the area where Su Lie was located erupted in a magnificent burst of light every second.

As the construction of the Energy Collectors was completed,

a dense forest of towers appeared in this area.

Each Energy Collector had a diameter of 10 meters and a height of about 5 meters.

From the air, the area looked like a panel covered in nails.

When the final Energy Collector was completed,

less than 10 minutes remained until the time to enter the battlefield.

After Su Lie completed the group association of the Energy Collectors,

Buzz!

In that instant,

Su Lie keenly perceived that Zhongyan City's energy extraction capability had turned into a bottomless Taotie.

In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of ji of Mysterious Yellow Energy had condensed.

Su Lie then looked at the array information for the collectors.

[Energy Collection Array]

[Quantity: 1 Billion Collector Cluster]

[Association: Zhongyan City xuanhuang energy pool, Zhongyan City City Warehouse]

[Basic Buff: Zhongyan City Element Conversion Effect, gaining 1,000 trillion times the collection speed provided by each Energy Collector, meaning the cluster array's overall buff, combined with the Total Yancheng Element Conversion Effect, increases the energy collection speed by 1,000 zhi times.]

[Array Buff: After the basic buff, the total speed is increased by 5,000 trillion times the collection speed.]

[Zhongyan City · Special Effect Element Conversion: (Total data information after all collector and collection array buff multipliers) The Floating City can draw 500 Zheng Jidian of elements from the Void every day and convert them into Mysterious Yellow Energy, storing it in the xuanhuang energy pool.]

[Note: The Energy Collection Array provides Zhongyan City with a collection speed acceleration buff of 1,000 trillion times per collector.

Note: The Energy Collection Array considers every two collectors as one array point. You possess a total of 500 million array points. Each point provides a total collection speed multiplication buff of 10 million times, thus 500 million array points collectively provide a total collection speed increase of 5,000 trillion times.

Note: The speed of the Energy Collection Array will decay if Energy Collectors are damaged.

Note: To continuously increase the buff effect of the Energy Collection Array, construction must still follow the current method of tightly packing the collectors; if they are too far apart, they cannot form an array.

Note: The warehouse association of the Energy Collection Array is used to stockpile Energy Stones; the collection array will not actively store energy or power unrelated to Energy Stones in the warehouse.]

"Good! Good! Good!"

Su Lie laughed excitedly as he looked at the panel before him: "Now Zhongyan City won't have to worry about energy anymore!"

He immediately looked at Zhongyan City's panel.

He saw that

the energy in the xuanhuang energy pool was condensing Mysterious Yellow Energy at a speed of 54 zhi extreme point per second.

According to the extraction speed before normal conversion,

Zhongyan City could extract and convert 54 jian extreme point of energy per second.

Because the conversion ratio between ordinary energy and Mysterious Yellow Energy is 1 trillion to 1,

this change occurred.

Even so,

this could still be described as a massive amount for Su Lie currently.

This energy was already enough to continuously support the operation of the sun god towers and War Cannons for decades.

Furthermore, Zhongyan City's basic operations consumed monster crystals.

Only a fraction consumed the energy from the Energy Pool.

As Su Lie felt relieved, he looked at the empty Zhongyan City and muttered softly: "Since it is war, there will inevitably be losses, so Zhongyan City needs a large reserve military force!"

Pondering this,

he instantly returned to the living area of the core territory.

Su Lie entered the Treasure Refining Room again.

Here,

his refining-type Vassals had already filled the Treasure Refining Room.

Everyone was diligently refining resources in their area of expertise for the territory.

Su Lie arrived in front of the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace.

Berber turned her head and quickly stood up: "Lord!"

Everyone looked toward Su Lie upon hearing the voice.

Once they confirmed it was Su Lie entering,

a burst of fervent flame erupted in their eyes. They either stood up or waved, greeting Su Lie: "Greetings, Lord!"

Su Lie said to everyone, "Everyone, please continue working! Don't mind me!"

The crowd chuckled, turned their heads, and resumed refining artifacts.

Berber stood up: "Lord! Please use it first! I'm not in a hurry!"

"Mm!"

Su Lie then took out 10 Dried Corpses and 10 monster crystals.

He selected the blueprint for refining Little Skeletons.

Buzz!

Ten seconds later,

the Purple Gold Eight Treasures Furnace had refined a total of 6.600101 trillion 967 billion Little Skeletons.

Due to the massive quantity,

Su Lie could only transfer them into his Storage Slot.

His Storage Slot possessed the abilities of dormancy and preservation, ensuring the survival of the Little Skeletons.

"The number of Little Skeletons is too large; releasing them all at once is not feasible! It seems I need to refine a batch of storage equipment capable of holding life!"

After thinking, Su Lie took out the materials again...
