Starting from Zero

After confirming that there is no problem with the jack, we installed the last four super huge gravity resistance devices on the base of the lower part of the jack, but because the power core has not been installed yet, it is temporarily impossible to experiment This device. The gravity resistance device is not as low energy consumption as the super jack. It cannot rely on the small power core to provide energy. Besides, these four anti-gravity devices alone may not be able to stabilize the balance of the city and easily lead to the city’s tilt. I don’t want the city to return. It fell apart without covering it properly.

After fixing the jacks, the technicians did not assemble those tracked propellers on the city. Instead, they began to direct the dolls to install some metal tracks on the city frame. The shape of the metal track is very similar to the rails used in trains, but the size is very huge, and a single steel rail has exceeded the size of a locomotive. These super rails look similar, but they are actually different. There are five types of rails, with red letters on both cross sections. The length of these rails is about 27 meters, and the longest of the five models is only a little more than three centimeters longer than the shortest. However, the number of the shortest type A is relatively small, and the number of type E is at least one type A. More than a hundred times.

At first, these rails felt straight, but with the installation of the dolls, everyone quickly noticed the problem. These tracks are simply not straight, they all have arcs, but because the length ratio is small and the arcs are not large, they feel straight at first glance.

After all five types of rails were installed in place, everyone saw that these things turned out to be circular rails. The five types of rails have different curvatures, and when they are fully assembled, they form five concentric rings. The innermost circle of the Five Rings has a diameter of only 5 kilometers, while the largest one has a diameter of 30 kilometers. The centers of their circles are the geometric centers of the city.

After the circle was completed, the researchers began to install some huge devices on the circle. The appearance of these devices is very special, long and pointed like two tail section butt bullets. In fact, what you see is only the fairing, and the equipment inside is the key. Inside the fairing is installed a large gravity resistance device, a medium power core, two giant engines, and 4 sets of 800 metal guide wheels.

The equipment in these fairings is assembled, and now it is very convenient to install. A few giant dragons dragged a large device of this kind and buckled it upside down from under the rail. The guide wheel on the top of the device has an automatic bayonet. When the giant dragon pushes them onto the I-shaped rail, the guide wheel automatically stretches. Open, when the upper guide wheel crosses the widest part of the I-track, it automatically returns under the action of the spring just to hang the entire device on the rail.

The guide wheel on the device is an all-metal guide wheel, which is the same as a train wheel and has a strong resistance to pressure. The 800 wheels are divided into upper and lower layers, with 10 left and right on the top, and the remaining 780 wheels are all on the bottom. Many players are curious why so many wheels are installed between the device and the guide rail, but there are only 20 load-bearing wheels used to hang the device on the rail.

In fact, this group of equipment is Isinger's real steering equipment, and its working principle is actually very simple. Many such devices are hung on the five-layer steel rail, and each device has a gravity resistance device. When these gravity resistance devices are activated, they can drag Isinger up, which is why most of the wheels are installed between the rails and the device. Because when the anti-gravity device in these devices is activated, the weight of the entire Isinger will be evenly distributed on the wheels between the numerous devices and the rails, and the wheels on the top only need to hang the device when the device does not start. It just falls off. So most of the wheels are installed between the guide rail and the device, not on it.

After the anti-gravity device on these devices drags the city up, the super engine in the device can drive the guide wheel to rotate in one direction, and then the device itself will move relative to the rail. This principle is more like a crane. Tram. But there is a difference here. When the drive wheel rotates, it actually exerts force in two directions, one pushing the rail and the other pushing the device itself. For trams, the track is fixed, so the car starts to move when the wheels turn. However, once the gravity resistance device is activated, it will be horizontally stationary relative to the ground. It will not move horizontally, so the only thing that can move is the track. When so many devices are activated at the same time, when they move in one direction, they will push the circular orbit to move in the opposite direction. Because Isinger is connected to these tracks, of course the orbit-turning city also moves, thus completing Isinger's steering action. One thing to note, however, is that Isinger must be in a static state when the device is activated. It can only make Isinger turn in place and cannot move the city horizontally. The movement of the city depends on other equipment.

After the equipment was installed, the technicians began to transport the completed crawler propellers. The city frame has already reserved the installation ports in the appropriate positions. These all are in the design drawing. The size is also very standard.

Huge crawler devices are connected to the city one by one, and the power line is connected to the interface that has been set aside from the city power network, and these devices are powered. The 400 crawler devices are arranged in 20 rows and 20 columns under the city. The city is a square symmetrical structure. The power plant must be as symmetrical as possible. We must ensure the overall stability of the city.

After these huge devices were connected, the Great White Shark finally reappeared outside Issinga. This time it shipped the largest part in the city-the main power core. The power core we customized this time is three times the size of Isinger’s original one. If it weren’t for the White Shark’s technology and Mermaid Race combined with Atlantis, it would really not be possible to create such a large power core!

After the power core was connected, a half-power test machine was carried out, and the new propulsion equipment was tested by the way. First, the giant jack in the center of the city lifted the city up, and then the 400 crawler devices contracted and extended in a unified manner. The experiment was conducted three times to confirm that there was no abnormality. Extend the crawler device for the fourth time and put away the jack in the center. Those driving devices are still normal.

Because there is no city tree, all controls are now manual. We found 400 players to climb on those crawlers to start the power equipment, and then the urban framework actually started to run on the ground. From now on, Isengard will no longer be a passive city, it will become our forward fortress.

The next thing we need to test is the issue we are most concerned about, the air mobile equipment in the city. Although the gravity resistance device can drag Isinger up, due to the damn characteristics of this device, the city cannot move at all. This has become an eternal pain in the hearts of our guild and Ashford’s Iron Crusade. At the beginning, Ashford studied this thing in the hope that he could build a mobile fortress, but later discovered that this thing could fly and not move, which was indeed depressing enough.

I stood in front of the city frame and used the guild channel to send commands to the players in 400 crawlers at the same time. At this time, I can’t go wrong. The weight of such a big city is unimaginable. We have to drive such a big thing, and the power used is not half the same. Once the operation is wrong, the propulsion device will fall apart. Each of these things cost 12 million crystal coins. If Erlang Shen hadn't reimbursed me for most of the expenses for public and private purposes, I wouldn't be able to build such an expensive equipment. Erlang Shen said that Celestial Court didn't know about these technical equipment, so it was a good idea to misrepresent the price of these things, because those great gods don't know how much this thing is worth.

According to my order, some robot arms are protruding from the inverted Y-shaped support frames of the 400 crawler devices. The tips of these robot arms have a metal wire like a broom head. This is actually The above is our energy brush modeled after the electric brush design. There are gravity resistance devices in the interlayers of those crawler tracks, and the gravity resistance devices located at both ends of the crawler cleats have tentacles-like energy heads extending outside. This is our design.

The power core suddenly began to increase the output power, and the energy on the power grid was transmitted to the energy probe extended by the gravity resistance device through the energy brush, and then entered the device. The gravity resistance device that obtains energy starts suddenly, and the buoyancy of the gravity resistance device can be easily controlled by adjusting the energy intensity on the energy brush. As everyone increased the output together, the gravity resistance devices in the track shoes under the wheels gradually increased the buoyancy. The entire city frame of Isengard slowly left the ground under this huge drag and continued to rise.

When the track shoe below was 5 meters off the ground, I ordered to keep hovering. Those players immediately adjusted their power to just ensure that the stable suspension of the city frame did not rise or fall.

I once again ordered to start the thrust equipment of the crawler device, and as the players operate neatly, the power equipment starts to run. The power of the engine is transmitted to the wheels, and then the crawler starts to rotate, and the urban frame actually begins to move. You must know that Isinger's frame is floating in the sky at this time, and it is really flying now!

"Oh!..." The players below boiled, the track propulsion theory is correct, Isinger can move in the air!

In fact, this set of aerial mobile equipment does not solve the problem that the gravity resistance device cannot move horizontally after the gravity resistance device is activated. It just cleverly avoids this problem. The anti-gravity device cannot move horizontally only when it is activated. As long as it is not activated, it can move at will, and the crawler track accomplishes this goal.

When the crawler is running, the part in contact with the ground does not actually move horizontally. This attribute fits the characteristics of the anti-gravity device. When on the ground, the force of the crawler's forward movement comes from the reaction force of the ground, while in the air, this reaction force is provided by the gravity resistance device.

The area covered by the row of huge energy brushes is only the gravity resistance device under the wheel, which means that when the crawler belt rotates, only the gravity resistance device that enters the one or two track shoes under the wheel Only energy is available, and once they leave this position, they can't touch the energy brush, and of course they shut down. The advantage of this design is that it is purely mechanized, and there is no need to make a special control system to decide which device should be started and which device should not be started. Now everything is automated. Regardless of whether the track is stopped or running, and regardless of its speed, the energy brush will only provide the power of the weight-bearing gravity resistance devices, and the others will simply not start.

The experiment is over. Facts have proved that the design is completely reasonable and the city can move normally. In the future, Isinger will have the ability to move in the air, but if he wants to turn, he must first stop, then turn off all the power on the crawler device and replace it with the rail steering device, and then switch back to continue moving after the turn. The trouble is a little troublesome, anyhow I can move and turn.

The installation of the most complicated devices is over, and the next job is pure effort. The pipeline layer and the mechanical layer maintenance layer have been left on the urban framework, and the remaining work is to lay the ground and construct the building.

Isinger’s overall construction is very difficult. The main reason is that the modular design has caused a lot of movable parts in the city. The energy wires and transmission equipment of these things are like spider caves in the urban framework. , There are lines everywhere. While they were busy with construction, I took out a seed of the city tree. This is the seed of the mutant city tree brought back from the Mother Earth Temple in Switzerland. This city tree is smarter than the original one, and it also has the commanding ability of a magic puppet. It happens to be this time Isinger The tree of the destroyed city was also killed, and the new city just happened to be replaced with a new city tree. I put the seed on the main power core, and then the plant quickly penetrated into the interior of various buildings. The characteristic of the new city tree is that its root system is completely invisible. All the plant parts are integrated with the city's buildings and equipment, and will not be discovered at all and cannot be separated.

After another busy day and two nights, the city basically has a rough shape. The main body of the city looks like a Mayan pyramid, formed by stacking three successively reduced terraces.

The bottom of the bottom terrace is a square with a side length of 32 kilometers, and the outer vertical height is about 900 meters. This part is the largest district in the entire city, and we named it the base layer. There is actually not only one layer in the basic layer, it is actually divided into 4 layers.

The bottom layer in this fourth layer is the mechanical power layer, and the jacks, crawler propellers, and orbital steering gears are all in this layer. Moreover, a large number of telescopic weapons are installed under the movable armor of this layer. Now that Isengard can fly, he may attack other cities in the future. Since we can fly, we must make full use of this advantage. Put all the weapons under the city and you can float on top of people's heads and hit them down. In fact, not many of these so-called weapon platforms are regular weapons platforms. Most of them are bomb droppers. Anyway, we just throw bombs directly on top of people's heads. It doesn't make much sense to have guns or not.

The Second Layer of the basic layer is the structural layer. There are backup gravity resistance devices and backup energy system. The main power core is also here, and most of the city's production equipment is here.

The Third Layer of the base layer is the main living layer. NPCs in the city and some shops are gathered here. The functions of the fourth layer and the third layer on the top layer are exactly the same, and the city’s transnational Transmission Formation will also be installed in the center of this layer. It should be noted that the Fourth Layer at the top of the base layer also has a top, it is not open. The thickness of the outer wall on this floor is 2000 meters, but the interior is not solid. We have left a large number of gunfire windows in this wall, and each window is blocked by a waterproof partition door, and is protected by mobile armor. Just open the window and extend the barrel when you need to shoot, and close it when not in use. Inside the window is the battle room, and there is a Dao Idol company at the back, and the ammunition depot is extended to the inside of the city, so that the design is safe and reliable and the battle strength can be guaranteed.

The base layer at the bottom is above the middle layer, this part is completely independent, and it can actually be separated from the base layer below. The technicians in the guild made a lot of track propulsion devices and new track steering machines, which will be installed in the middle layer. The shape of the middle layer is also a terrace, but it is smaller than the base layer, its bottom side is only 10 kilometers long, and the outer vertical height is about 700 meters.

The middle layer is divided into three layers. The first layer at the bottom has a similar layout to the base layer, and there is also a mechanical zone. There are 100 track propulsion devices and a rail steering machine composed of three rails. But the difference from the base layer is that the mechanical areas of this layer are concentrated in the middle, the outer circle area is empty, and there are a large number of gates on the outer wall, and the space behind the gates is the port. These gates are protected by extra-large waterproof partition doors customized from Atlanta. If the city is launched, this is the entrance and exit of the battleship. There are special equipment in the port to keep the water in the port after the city is lifted off, so that the battleship can still be anchored in the port, but if you want the battleship to enter and exit, you must wait for the city to launch.

Because the uppermost layer of the base layer is covered, that is to say, there is a large empty space outside the middle layer. Our people have made a multifunctional platform here. There are a large number of lifting platforms on the ground. The armor in these places can be opened to raise the internal weapons during battle. When the weapon platform is recovered and the armor is closed, it becomes a flat platform. In fact, keeping this platform is to consider the need to build an aerial battleship in the future, so the airport is reserved first. Such a large area is completely an airport, no matter how many aerial battleships can be parked in, and the port behind can be used as a hangar as long as the water is discharged, and the equipment is first-class.

The Second Layer in the middle layer is the camp of our NPC Legion, where our Totem and Guardian beasts live. The Third Layer in the middle layer is the guild player living area. There are some major things such as the career center and the resurrection hall. The guild player’s lounge is also here, and there is also a small amount of Commerce District here.

Because the middle layer is above the base layer, it is relatively safer. The wall thickness is only 800 meters, but there are still a lot of firepower windows. Our design idea is that Isengard should not have fire blind spots. In fact, the bottom of the middle layer also has a firepower platform, but the middle layer and the base layer are usually butted together, so these things are kept inside. If necessary, if the middle layer is separated from the base layer, these weapons can be deployed to defend the area below it.

On the middle layer is the command layer, which has a special structure. This layer is not the bottom of a square. The bottom is a regular octagon with a side of 3 kilometers, but the top is a square with a side of 2500 meters. The outer vertical height of the command layer is 650 meters, and the interior is divided into three layers.

The bottom layer of the command layer is of course the mechanical layer. To ensure that the command layer can act independently after the city is separated, those power equipment are indispensable. The command level has only 36 tracked propulsion equipment, and the steering gear has only one track, but because this level is relatively small, these are enough.

Like the bottom layer of the middle layer, there are ports in the outer ring of the bottom layer of the command layer, but there are only four ports here, not as many as the middle layer, and the ports here are very small. We plan that this is only a spare port, and it is generally not used in normal times.

The Second Layer of the command layer refers to the working layer of the guild. The city council hall and library, the large crystal communication room, various research institutions, etc. are basically crowded here. Above it is the Third Layer, here is the temple layer, but in fact the temple is not here. Each layer of Isinger has a temple office. The temple layer on the top of the command layer is actually only the temple’s research institute and Vina’s residence. In addition, because Taoism is to be promoted, a part of it is also marked here for Taoism. .

The uppermost layer of the command layer also has a roof. There is no complete layer on this platform. Because I don't know what to put here, so I'm going out for the time being.

It has been almost a week since the first day I came here, and Isengard is basically finished. All the structures have been installed and the internal buildings are still under construction, but the equivalent to decoration is much simpler than building a city. Because many weapons and equipment are not in place, I feel that the city is still relatively empty for the time being. Another depressing problem is that there are no free NPCs in the city. At the beginning, we transferred all the people and materials in the city, and we also evacuated the NPCs responsible for the operation of the city. However, the free NPCs could not be evacuated, and the people who were destroyed in the city were all wronged. I can't do anything about it.

Seeing that the city is basically completed, Erlang Shen came to congratulate me, but I am really happy that doesn't raise. Although the city is almost finished, the real troubles are only now starting.

I said to Erlang Shen: "Okay, the labor problem is basically the same, and the external disguise can be removed. Even if the people at Celestial Court see them, they can’t say anything. Anyway, Jiandu Jian Okay."

Erlang Shen nodded removed the disguise. Of course, his doll must also be removed in advance, or it would be bad if Celestial Court found out. "What are you going to do next?"

I looked at Erlang Shen and said: "Next, I will trouble you to take me to see the Jade Emperor."

"What are you going to do?"

"Special compensation is required!" I mean Isinger. "The former Isinger was the first under the heavens city. Do you know why it is so special?"

Erlang Shen shook his head. "I don't know."

"Isinger is the first under the heavens city not simply because it is huge, but more importantly because of its particularity. Isinger has a large number of special buildings These things are slowly accumulated by me, and now I was ruined by Vermilion Bird. Even if I returned a new Isinger like this, I still suffer.” In fact. I don't suffer at all now, the new Isinger's ability is not worse than before, but I am going to blackmail now, of course it is a bit miserable.

Erlang Shen nodded said: "putting it that way is full of losses, so be it, I will take you to see the Jade Emperor, and you will discuss it with the Jade Emperor."

" Okay."

The traffic in Celestial Court is really great. Erlang Shen directly opens the summon South Heaven Gate above us, and then flies in. It's more convenient than any door in Doraemon. When the Jade Emperor heard that he had come to discuss compensation for the special item, he immediately summoned me. After all, Hong Jun Sect Lord nodded said at the beginning that he would not let me suffer, so the Jade Emperor is very polite now.

"Purple Moon, I heard that your city has been completed, is it true?" The Jade Emperor summoned me in the garden, so I spoke more casually.

I immediately said: "It's roughly finished, but the loss of special materials is now I don't know what to do!"

"You can talk about what has been destroyed first Can’t recover? We will solve it for you one by one."

"I am relieved with your words. I have prepared a detailed item record book here, please see." I handed it over An oversized reel like a log.

The Jade Emperor was taken aback by my scroll. Even if the font is relatively large, there are tens of thousands of records in such a large scroll. Seeing it so long, he didn't even look at it. "These all are lost supplies?"

I nodded: "There are some unrecoverable things, especially some magic books, all of which are lone copies. These are really going to be lost!" Ai The Singh Library did lose a lot of books, but it was not as exaggerated as I said. Moreover, all of our books are backed up in Sky City. There is no single copy at all. At most, the original is damaged.

This chapter is 7,000, but there is still a difference of 5,000. I will try my best tomorrow Complete it all at once.
