Chapter 502: [Flying City: Eureka]
Three months.
Lan Qingyou and the members of a squad from the Witch Coven spent a full three months to finally complete that project.
Although the personnel constantly changed midway due to various reasons.
But because everyone was very interested in this project, no one slacked off while working.
So the construction period was much faster than Lan Qingyou expected.
Of course.
Because this project caused quite a stir, basically all the Witches living in Typhon City knew about this matter.
Although the details were unclear, it was certain that their Clan Leader was up to some new tricks with the people from the Witch Coven again.
So basically, none of the Witches went to disturb Lan Qingyou and the others' work, and even went up to help.
"Phew—finally done."
"I didn't expect a small project to actually take this long."
"I really didn't expect this, but the appearance of the finished product is also very satisfying."
"Rather, it should have originally taken longer, right? To finish it in just three months now, no matter how you think about it, is a very remarkable thing."
After placing the final material into the steel-like substance in front of her, Erica, who was sitting on a Magic Broom nearby, sighed with a hint of pride in her voice.
"That's true."
Pandora wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm and smiled.
If someone were to look over from afar right now, they would definitely be very surprised.
Because floating in front of the two Witches was an island suspended in the air.
This island was so large that from a distance, the two of them probably wouldn't even count as sesame seeds.
And on the island, a magnificent city surrounded by black stone walls could be clearly seen.
[Flying City—Eureka].
This was the name of this city, and it was also the true core city of the Witch Clan from now on.
Eureka's predecessor was exactly Typhon City.
It could be said that just outside the city walls of the entire Typhon City was the boundary of the entire Flying City Eureka.
On one hand, this was because the protective shield was only this large; on the other hand, it was also because this range was their limit.
Or rather, the limit of 'Project 1.0' of the 'Flying City' itself.
Originally, at the beginning of this project, it was just to make Typhon City fly, thereby reducing attacks from the ground, protecting themselves and the other Witches.
So Version 1.0 did not involve any superfluous things.
If the city needed to expand and add some other buildings or facilities in the future, they could just carry out a Version 2.0 upgrade then.
To these Witches, this was simply not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the entire Typhon City was inherently a city that could house millions of people, so not only was there a lot of vacant space, there were also herbal fields, the Witch Academy, and manufacturing factories.
Living inside, whether it was for daily life, studying, working, or researching, there would absolutely be no inconvenience.
So for the time being, there was no need to focus much on other aspects.
It was still that same sentence: it just needed to fly.
The altitude didn't need to be too high either. Around five hundred meters would be able to defend against most attacks from the ground.
Even among those races that could fly, those who could reach an altitude of five hundred meters in one breath were a minority.
It could be said that the new direction Lan Qingyou found for the Witch Clan was 'detachment'.
Anyway, as people who could save on food and drink—aside from research materials—they didn't need to interact much with others.
Having too much exposure would actually make them more prone to getting hurt.
It could be considered going from one extreme to another after the Forsaken War.
As for why it was given this name, Lan Qingyou simply felt that the pronunciation was very interesting and had a feeling of happiness in it.
Didn't Blue Star have something called a 'Eureka moment'?
It was probably that.
And the metal that Pandora and Erica had just installed was precisely the aircraft that allowed the Flying City to fly and change its flight direction.
There were a full ten thousand of such aircraft beneath the entire Eureka City.
It was a product of combining the magic-mechanical technology Lan Qingyou was most adept at with the biological magic technology obtained from Elisa.
There was nothing much to say about the mechanical part; it used more or less the same principles as the Golems.
As for the biological magic aspect, it used cell compounds from Big-Eyed Cutie—the Eye of Cthuya.
After all, Big-Eyed Cutie also possessed the ability to float. Although the speed wasn't fast, Eureka City had never pursued speed anyway.
In some ways, it wouldn't be an exaggeration if you viewed these ten thousand aircraft as individual little Eyes of Cthuya.
Of course, the premise was that you didn't have trypophobia.
Otherwise, just thinking about the fact that beneath the island were all eyes would make you die on the spot.
It could be said that during these three months of construction, the research and development of this aircraft alone took a full month.
And even this was only completed on the foundation of the combined brainstorming and efforts of more than twenty sharp-minded Witches.
But it had to be said that everyone was still very satisfied with the results.
Of course.
Besides making this city fly, Lan Qingyou naturally had some other reasons for doing this.
Steel Witch: "The last aircraft is installed."
Flame Witch: "We can now proceed with the final adjustments."
Tower Witch: "Received. All Witches working outside, please return to the city immediately."
Following the reports from Pandora and Erica coming from the card, Lan Qingyou, who was sitting in front of the magic desk, replied.
She then put down the card in her hand and opened the small screen.
[Do you want to upgrade to a Level 7 Sanctuary?]
The moment she opened the screen, a dialog box like this popped up on it.
Yes.
Lan Qingyou had never upgraded her shelter, firstly because she didn't need to for the time being, and secondly, to wait for this very moment.
So she quickly clicked the option and threw the required materials into it one by one.
When the last Beast Emperor Ore was thrown in, the dialog box immediately changed.
[Please select your sanctuary upgrade direction.]
[1. Expand the tree hollow sanctuary by three times.]
[2. Expand the tree hollow sanctuary by one time, but add a third-floor area.]
To this, Lan Qingyou smoothly and familiarly chose the second one.
[Level 7 Sanctuary Facilities]
[Bedroom: ... Living Room: ... Storage Room: ... Fireplace: ... Balcony: ...]
Lan Qingyou naturally wouldn't even spare a second glance at these things she hadn't chosen before.
What she needed now was to find the one she wanted.
Sure enough, while rapidly scrolling down, she finally saw the item she wanted.
[City Flight Management Center: Steel1000, Obsidian10000, Thorium800, Mana Conductor10000, Cthuya Cell Components*10000...]
[Each sanctuary upgrade allows you to select three facilities for modification. Please choose carefully according to your own needs.]
"Woohoo!"
When she saw this option, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but raise her hands and cheer.
