I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 154

Chapter 154

“Mage Tower”

A structural diagram of a Mage Tower slowly emerged in Fang Bai’s mind.

The manuscript provided relevant knowledge, structure, and principles about the Mage Tower, but it did not provide specific design drawings for spell models.

Therefore, Fang Bai had to design the design drawings, Mage Tower functions, and styles himself.

However, the manuscript mentioned that a true Mage Tower is entirely built from elemental materials with high magic resistance, high physical resistance, high elemental channeling rate, spatial isolation, detection isolation, and elemental storage capabilities.

According to the manuscript, the moment the Mage Tower is built, it will become the absolute elemental core within a radius of dozens of miles. The Mage Tower’s elemental attraction will directly form a massive elemental vortex above the tower, continuously plundering, refining, and storing the elemental power within its range.

The surrounding dozens of miles of space will be blocked, and a radius of hundreds of miles will be under the Mage Tower’s surveillance and attack range.

Inside the Mage Tower, as long as the mage possesses sufficient knowledge, they can cast spells far beyond their realm, even casting forbidden spells through prolonged preparation, bypassing the limitations of their own realm!

Within the Mage Tower, one is invincible below the Legend realm and can protect themselves even within the Legend realm.

Moreover, the Mage Tower can serve as a hub for a lineage of mages, utilizing large-scale spatial teleportation spells permanently fixed on the building to initiate long-distance or even cross-plane spatial teleportation.

It can be said that only after building a Mage Tower can a mage be considered to have truly entered the profession.

Because the Mage Tower is not only a mage’s safe house but also the material foundation for a mage to break through to higher realms.

For an ambitious and motivated mage, building a Mage Tower is a must!

Of course, the enormous wealth required to build a Mage Tower is also a headache for every mage.

Ignoring all the technical and patent values, ignoring the value of working hours, and only considering the actual value of the materials themselves, the raw materials needed to build a Mage Tower, when converted into gold, could build several solid gold towers of the same size.

And Fang Bai was currently troubled by this very problem.

“How rich is the mage who wrote this manuscript?”

This question arose in Fang Bai’s mind, and he deeply felt his own poverty.

Fortunately, the author of the manuscript seemed to have considered the poverty of others, and there were some alternative methods provided.

“Damn!”

Fang Bai felt like he might be looked down upon, but he still had to use the alternative methods mentioned later.

“The primary function of a Mage Tower is to provide a safe place for mages to conduct research.

In the early stages, when a mage is unable to build a Mage Tower, they can start by building a lite version.

Functions like research magic circles, amplification magic circles, spatial compression magic circles, elemental material tower bodies, etc., can be temporarily omitted or built only on a small scale.

The most crucial aspects are energy absorption and storage, as well as the Mage Tower’s attack and defense capabilities. As long as these three points are achieved, it can be called a Mage Tower.

And to accomplish this, one only needs to prepare materials that can withstand pressure to construct the magic circle.”

Ordinary and low-quality materials cannot withstand high-level spell models, which is something Fang Bai learned long ago.

Too ordinary materials would crumble during the flow of elements within high-level spell models. Recklessly operating them would only lead to the collapse of the spell model, causing the accumulated power within to either explode or dissipate.

In Fang Bai’s view, this was one of the most significant functions of elemental materials.

Elemental materials have high conductivity and high strength, making them ideal for carrying high-level spell models.

Among the currently known elemental materials, those derived from monsters come in various shapes and can only be ground into powder for use.

The same goes for elemental wood, which is not convenient to use.

In Fang Bai’s opinion, elemental metals that can be melted and molded at will are the most suitable materials among elemental materials.

After all, in terms of integrity and continuity, elemental metals completely surpass other elemental materials that have been ground into powder.

It’s just…

Fang Bai looked at the tin ball in Wang Kai’s hand and fell into deep thought.

“Elemental metal has indeed been created, but it contains the spiritual imprint of others, which cannot be removed.

Although it seems fine now, this kind of thing definitely cannot be used to build the crucial Mage Tower.”

Fang Bai pondered.

“And now everything is clear. The deep integration of my mental power with elemental power forms a unique elemental power.

And this unique elemental power resonates with the spell model to form elemental metal.

Now there are only two methods. First, I use my mental power to refine the elemental power, forming my own elemental power.

This way, I can naturally create elemental metal, elemental metal that contains my spiritual imprint.

Or I find other ways to change the frequency of elemental power to create elemental metal.”

Fang Bai thought of many methods, among which he felt the most feasible was to use infrasound to vibrate elemental power, thereby manually adjusting its frequency to the frequency of metal.

However, although elemental power exists in nature as particles, it is fundamentally different from objects like dust and air. Infrasound, sound waves, or any other waves cannot interfere with elemental power.

Sound waves and elemental power are like things from two different worlds, so this method naturally has no basis for implementation.

In the end, Fang Bai still focused on refining elemental power himself.

Theoretically, as long as mental power and elemental power are combined…

“Mental power resonates with elements. If resonance can truly lead to the combination of two objects, then during my meditation, I should have naturally generated elemental power under my own control.

After all, I meditate almost 24 hours a day.

Therefore, pure mental power and pure elemental power cannot fuse. There must be a third factor involved, which leads to controllable elemental power.

And this factor… is either the physical body, the spell model, or a combination of both.”

Fang Bai didn’t hesitate and immediately started experimenting.

Three groups conducted experiments simultaneously. One group first used mental power to gather elemental power, constructing a spell model, and then began resonating while maintaining the operation of the spell model.

Another group directly brought elemental power into their body and started resonating.

The last group constructed a spider magic spell model within their body, operating the spell model while controlling their mental power to start resonating.

Three lines progressed in parallel. Fortunately, Fang Bai chose earth elemental power, so the three mental powers were essentially at the same frequency; otherwise, Fang Bai would have gone crazy.

After starting, Fang Bai focused his attention on every tiny change in mental power and elemental power.
