Chapter five hundred and eighty first tower
The Sentinel Tower stands on the earth.
For those born in the Great Recession of Humanity, the Sentinel Tower is a miracle building beyond their imagination. These main bodies are hundreds of meters high. Including the pedestal and floating height of 1,000 meters, the giant magic device with a total height of 1,000 meters exceeds the technical limits of any contemporary human kingdom (including the Principality of Cecil). The surge energy of each Sentinel Tower is enough to support all the mage towers in the entire Ansu Royal City to operate simultaneously. The many technologies they use include large anti-gravity fields, adaptive shield technology, and joint projection technology of force fields, which make today's anthropologists can only look up to it.
After establishing the third forward base to ensure the supply of materials and the smooth roads in the rear, the Cecil engineering team continued to march south and finally arrived at the foot of the Sentinel Tower, which needed to be strengthened on Frost Moon 1. Next to this highland called "Thunder Hill", the engineers laid the first wooden stake for the camp.
The former member of the 100-person aid team, a carpenter-born middle-aged craftsman, "Bruce", from the royal capital, is the chief architect of this "peak base". This short and sturdy middle-aged man stood on a large wooden box in the middle of the camp, holding the reference drawings in his hand, staring at the construction of the workers with wide eyes. His nose, which was red due to excessive drinking, was even more reddish in the slightly odorous wasteland wind.
"Let the magic net be connected first and don't be busy turning on the obelisk. Connect the substrate first! Those who go to the wall are careful not to leave the shield range, especially not to leave the breeze barrier. The air here is not good for your health!! Charle, Bob, you take three people to erect the jammer, otherwise the obelisk cannot be turned on..."
Bruce's loud voice echoed in the construction site. This middle-aged man from the royal capital was full of momentum and full of fighting spirit. He looked at the busy construction site in front of him, the foreign wasteland outside the construction site, the huge tower that was close to him and the misty energy barrier around the tower, the tension in his heart had turned into excitement and excitement, and even a little bit of pride.
This is where great architects should stay.
He comes from the capital of the king, a senior carpenter, and has been a carpenter for generations, but he has not been a sedate person since he was born. Bruce Panshi swears with his surname that this surname can tell the dwarf bloodline of his ancestors at a glance that he was born to do great things. He yearned for adventure and to do something big in extraordinary fields, rather than staying in a stable capital of the king, but he has no extraordinary talent. Even the dwarf bloodline passed down from his ancestors only gave him more strength, so he inherited the family's signature in the end, but the development plan of the southern border... made this restless carpenter see hope.
He is one of the few members of the former 100-person aid team to actively sign up.
"Is the jammer in place? Report it immediately when it is in place, it is your security. Don't delay your efforts!!"
Bruce's loud voice rang again.
He did see extraordinary opportunities in the southern border. He witnessed the attack of the distorted bodies, the rise of a magic city, the establishment of the principality, and the vigorous "Industrial New City Plan". He tried his best to seize these opportunities and prove his strength in front of the great architect Gordon. Today, he finally encountered the greatest opportunity.
Start construction on wasteland.
There is no doubt that this extraordinary "service" will become his greatest achievement. Bruce believes that after he returns, he may even be directly rated as "Great Architect". Like Mr. Gordon, who is also the "Great Architect", he will become one of the most senior technicians in Cecil. In this position, there are only a few people, such as "Great Craftsman" Mr. Nicholas Egg, "Magic Master" Mr. Carmere and Miss Rebecca...
The camp's infrastructure was quickly laid out, and magic net units that could be easily assembled were first connected into powerful arrays, while several "steel ambassadors" were located in the center of these magic net matrices and had been connected online, but before these multi-functional vehicles that could act as magic obelisks activated their crystals, several special devices were first established everywhere in the base.
They were some poles made of metal. The bottom was buried deep into the ground. Two meters above the top of the poles were forked out several parallel "branches". A series of runes were distributed on the surfaces of the branches, and small pieces of crystal were embedded on the tops of the metal branches like a scepter, emitting a faint light.
These devices are "jammers".
It is very dangerous to use high-power magic devices near the magnificent wall, because the monsters breeding in the tide have an irresistible desire for pure magic. Just like the distorted creatures wandering outside, they will actively approach human towns. The powerful magic obelisk is like a lighthouse in the dark night in front of these monsters. This is already located in the Sentinel Tower Highland. For some monsters with strong perception, this is already their sniffing area. In order to prevent the magic obelisk from attracting powerful monsters at the moment when the tide is turned on, and to prevent the magnificent wall, which is in a bad state, from being impacted by the monsters, the construction workers must make some preparations in advance.
The jammer is created for this.
The forked branches are engraved with runes with breath obscuring, magic concealment and elemental disturbance. The effects are actually not perfect, but given the average IQ of the wasteland monsters, these spell effects are enough to disrupt the judgment of those distorted bodies at a long distance.
Of course, if the enemy is close enough, or the perception is particularly sharp and has initial intelligence, these simple jammers will not have any effect. By then, the safety of the camp will still be guaranteed by the magnificent walls and the guns and cannons in the hands of loyal soldiers. As long as 60 to 70% of the monsters can be filtered out, it will have met Gao Wen's requirements.
At the edge of the camp, Gao Wen stood on a huge rock next to the "Thunder Hill", watching the road laymen set the jammers in several reservation places. As they were activated one by one, crystals and rune arrays emitted a shimmer, and the magic breath that radiated from the entire camp quickly became weak and chaotic.
This level of disguise cannot be concealed by the strong people at high or even mid-level levels, but it is believed that more than 70% of the distortions can be filtered out.
The air nearby twisted slightly, and Amber's figure condensed from the air. She came to Gao Wen and said casually: "The jammer has been activated."
"I saw it."
"To be honest, I was relieved after this thing was activated," Amber wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead in a scattered manner, and then he was a little curious, "But then... to survive in the wasteland, you must have this kind of interference technology... We rely on jammers to protect the camp. How did other 'tare repair troops' solve the problem? For example, the teams in the Western Region..."
Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf: "You're stuck again?"
"Hey, what do you mean!"
"You still need to ask such a simple question?" Gao Wen knocked Amber's head casually. "To put it bluntly, the jammer is a spell casting device, and it's not a high-level magic. Teams without jammers can just find a few mages to stand in the camp. Standing in a fixed position, put a day's breath covering and magic hidden technique, and if you are tired, you can change people, or sit in a chair."
Amber blinked his eyes, suddenly reacted and couldn't help but mutter: "Oh my god, I suddenly felt so stupid after thinking about that scene..."
"Is it stupid? But before the magical devices that pursue 'generalization' and 'civilization' appeared, all mages actually did this," Gao Wen shrugged. "They are proud of being able to master extraordinary power and release them, and to this day, the extraordinary people in most areas outside Cecil still think so."
When he heard Gao Wen's words, even Amber, who didn't like to use his brain very much, couldn't help but think about it. Gao Wen shook his head and turned around to look at the direction of the Sentinel Tower.
The huge gray-white tower is suspended in the anti-gravity field, quietly releasing its huge energy between the dirty and twisted heaven and earth. The tower base, which is like a hill, is set at the top of the Thunder Hill. Part of it is integrated with the hills. A large number of complex structures are hidden deep in rocks and soil. Several upright "ridges" extend from the connection between the base and the hills. It extends far away from the ground like the air roots of trees extending far into the direction of the Black Forest. The camp established by the Cecil Engineering Team is located near one of the "ridges".
Gao Wen knew that the "ridge" that seemed to have roots was actually the comprehensive sensor and engineering pipeline summary unit of the Sentinel Tower. Each base would extend symmetrically out of six channels, three of which were outside the barrier, and the other three were inside the barrier. They continuously collected pollution readings inside and outside the barrier and uploaded them to the tower's artificial intelligence for reference to ensure that the barrier can be adjusted in real time with the changes in internal and external pressure. The magical "adaptive shield" technology of Sentinel Tower is actually achieved by relying on these complex and huge sensor arrays.
Just so close to the human kingdom, there are such superb technical products. However, just because of a black forest, a dark mountain range, and seven hundred years of sinking and decline, Ansu's decline is already unimaginable... Civilization is really a very fragile thing.
What did those elves who once built the Sentinel Tower think after seeing the human kingdom, especially Ansu's current situation?
Will they despise? Or will they be amazed, just as people on Earth marvel at the Great Recession of European technology after the fall of the Roman Empire, and marvel at the savage that replaced civilization? Or... they have no time to sigh at the decline of human beings, because even themselves can no longer build the core devices of those towers.
A quick figure jumped onto a huge rock, and Saldrin, holding a short bow, appeared in front of Gaowen.
"There have been sentry spaces in the surrounding area, and no corrupt monsters have been found close to each other."
"Very good, let the Rangers fighters be alerted," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then suddenly said, "You go and organize a team of elite soldiers, call Sonia and come and see me together."
Saldrin was stunned for a moment: "Call my mother? What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to enter the Sentinel Tower," said Gao Wen, "check what's going on inside."
Before Saldrin could respond, Amber next to him was already exclaiming: "Oh my god, old Zongzi, are you kidding?"
"Will I be kidding about this?" Gao Wen glanced at the half-elf. "If we come here to solve the problem of Sentinel Tower just by building a sub-tower and a pressure relief point, an excellent architect can handle it with drawings and engineering teams. The meaning of our here is to find as many clues as possible from Sentinel Tower."
"I get it," Saldrin lowered his head, "I'll arrange the staff now."
"Do I have to go with me?" Amber couldn't help but point at his nose, "Before you came, you didn't tell me that you would run into the Sentinel Tower and stand 800 meters away from the barrier. It was my limit. I'll tell you..."
Gao Wen didn't say anything, but just looked at her with a smile. After seeing this familiar expression of "You can do whatever you want, I have to take you away from your armpits in a while", Amber's pointed ears drooped: "Okay okay, who asked me to receive your salary..."
