Chapter 1050: Chapter 920: Turmoil and Schemes at the Clock Tower

At the northern end of the Abayachi Mountains, lies the desolate Abayachi Plateau.

Clang clang...

In the dense forest, a group of young people dressed in blue overalls and black insulated boots stood in a formation with hands clasped together, surrounded by the buzzing electric light.

Various raw materials danced and formed in the air, swiftly constructing a giant tower with a peculiar design.

The tower reached a height of 57 meters, with a base made of insulated electric wood. However, the top was a spherical structure with a diameter of 21 meters, crafted from special steel.

Additionally, there was an intricately intersecting "iron root system" extending underground.

"Reporting to Teacher Cliff, the final planned ’Cliff Giant Tower’ has been completed. Please conduct an inspection."

Named Warden Cliff, a seemingly youthful professor at Galliot National University, nodded upon hearing the student’s report:

"Commence the networking experiment."

Buzz—!

With his command, a flash of blue and white electric light appeared and disappeared atop the spherical structure, as a Tier 2 Intermediate Electrical Engineer connected with the "Cliff Giant Tower" using the Life Magnetic Field.

The next moment, a massive electric field soared at the speed of light, instantly vanishing into the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, a tower located on the other side of the Black Sea in the Tulip Duchy was illuminated.

Also referred to as a power transmission tower, the "Cliff Giant Tower" is a wireless power transmission system capable of supplying electricity worldwide without cables.

Through these giant towers, electrical energy can be converted into relay energy—"electromagnetic field"—which is transmitted over long distances, then converted back into electrical energy through receivers, achieving wireless power transmission.

The specific principle involves:

Utilizing the planet itself as an inner conductor, with the ionosphere in the atmosphere as the outer conductor.

Through the "Cliff Giant Tower," an amplification launcher, a low-frequency resonance of approximately 8Hz is established between the planet and the ionosphere in a radial electromagnetic wave oscillation mode.

Energy is then transmitted using the electromagnetic waves enveloping the planet’s surface.

The effect seems somewhat redundant with the Magnetic Ore.

But in reality, even the most groundbreaking black technology must adhere to the "Law of Energy Conservation."

In practical experiments over the years, Aiven and the vast number of Electrical Engineers he trained have discovered.

The Artificial Sun, manufactured using controlled nuclear fusion technology, while lacking the efficacy of converting light into various forms of energy, proved more reliable and efficient than the sun-dependent Magnetic Ore.

It’s known that Herag Star receives only one twenty-two billionth of the total solar radiation energy emitted into the cosmic space.

Moreover, Magnetic Ore can only convert 60% of the received solar radiation into electrical energy or other forms of energy.

It was entirely feasible to use in the supernormal small farm economy, like that of the Zongderilic People.

But to supply large-scale industrial production for all human nations in the Material World proved inadequate to be the main force, much like photovoltaic power generation in Aiven’s previous life.

Contrarily to the Magnetic Ore.

The wireless power transmission system paired with the Artificial Sun has a transmission loss rate of only 1% per 1000 kilometers, and its maximum transmission distance can reach ten thousand kilometers.

This means generating power with the Artificial Sun in the New Continent can completely supply the entire Tulip Islands and even the Western region of the Source Continent, replacing the burgeoning thermal power plants.

After all, the ocean holds a limitless supply of heavy hydrogen and super-heavy hydrogen as raw materials, akin to an artificial "big oil field," generating endless energy wealth for the Duchy.

Through this remarkable invention.

Warden Cliff, titled the "Electric Mage," together with Charles Babbage from the Steam and Mechanism Cult who created the analytical engine, have been dubbed the New Era Twins of the Tulip Science Community.

Moreover, this genius, after achieving major accomplishments, hasn’t stopped there.

Recently, he is leading his research team in preparing a move to break the boundaries of science and the supernatural known as the Cloud-Breaking Device, also called the Weather Controller.

It utilizes scientific means to produce rain, thunder, and wind, undoubtedly serving as an irresistible meteorological weapon!

Watching the smoothly operating giant tower, Cliff revealed a satisfied smile:

"Well, I announce the completion of the ’Wireless Power Transmission System’ network, the task assigned by His Majesty... Hmm? What’s that sound?"

The keen-eyed group abruptly turned to see a massive raptor, larger than a bull, covered in colorful feathers, with a tumor-like growth on its head, glaring viciously at them.

The bloodthirsty aura surging from it was at least that of a Tier 2 Peak formidable creature.

The most terrifying aspect.

Its face bore human-like features, its giant golden beak open, lined with menacing teeth, and it was partially draped in a deer-hide garment of an Atrean Aboriginal.

"Cluck... cluck! Cluck... cluck!"

The group slowly retreated, but behind them was the "Cliff Giant Tower" they had just constructed, leaving them with nowhere to go after a few steps.

"Is this a... turkey wearing clothes?"

"Fool, what turkey! This is actually an out-of-control Seven-Faced Bird Totem Warrior (with the turkey also known as Seven-Faced Bird or Golden Pheasant)!"

Someone among the engineers swallowed hard:

"Although I’m an Intermediate Engineer, I haven’t fought since receiving my graduation certificate."

"I...I haven’t fought either."

"..."

However, as they noticed Cliff still standing motionless, they instantly gained courage.

"What are you afraid of? Teacher Cliff is a Tier 3 Transcendent! Handling this kind of runaway is child’s play!"

"But we are the professions of life as mentioned by Your Majesty..."

The classification of the [Extraordinary Profession: Electrical Engineer] stands out like a breath of fresh air among the many flashy extraordinary profession names.

Tier 1: Assistant Engineer; Tier 2: Intermediate Engineer; Tier 3: Senior Engineer; Tier 4: Professor-level Senior Engineer.

The first batch of electrical engineers have been employed for nearly ten years, and a very few talented individuals have successfully advanced to Tier 3 Senior Engineer, with Cliff being one of them.

However, because [Electrical Engineer] is itself a lifestyle profession and is always under the strong protection of official power,

they have almost no combat experience, and everyone is weak in battle.

At this moment, an unexpectedly uncontrolled Seven-Faced Bird Totem Warrior came charging towards them at high speed.

Whoosh!

"Cluck cluck!"

In the blink of an eye, Cliff didn’t use any extraordinary abilities but swiftly pulled out a gun wrapped in brass coils from his [Magic Pocket] and fiercely pulled the trigger towards the enemy.

Sizzle——!

With a blinding flash of lightning, the giant turkey had turned into a pile of blackened charcoal.

[High-Pressure Arc Spraying Gun]

The main body is a conductive metal rod equipped with electrical components. When the current passes through it, it generates an extremely high temperature and causes a high-pressure arc discharge, capable of firing high-precision lightning at distant foes.

The weak in battle who narrowly escaped cheered collectively:

"Mr. Cliff is indeed a high-level engineer; he is truly outstanding!"

"Hahaha, even if it’s a non-combat profession, your mage is still your mage forever!"

Watching their impressive teacher standing proudly at the forefront, the group admired him endlessly, like the surging river, incessant, or the flooding of the Hartson River, uncontrollably.

But after waiting for two minutes, they found that their teacher was still standing there posing with the gun, and they couldn’t help but remind him:

"Miss Mei’s teleportation channel is already open, teacher, let’s go."

Only then did Cliff slowly turn his head and solemnly instructed:

"Support...support your teacher, my legs are weak."

...

"Ever since the first impact, it’s been getting more and more chaotic. The chances of uncontrolled wild extraordinaries on remote paths are getting higher. Totally without warning, sometimes even [Mind Network] can’t react in time."

Aiven, who had witnessed the whole scene, let out a soft sigh.

"This situation is the same throughout the material world, the intelligence department has reported long ago.

Do you still remember the [Ocean Treasure: Elegy of the Sinking Ship] which has a deep connection with you and General Gel? Recently, Count Stuyak is almost going mad.

The ship that evolved into a quasi-legendary battleship went out of control and turned into a living monster.

It swallowed the captain who had grown into a Tier 3 "Shipwreck Mourner", along with the entire ship’s ’Ship-Bound Spirit’ and ’Water Ghost’, and then disappeared without a trace on the Black Sea.

The hard work and cultivation for twenty years were all for nothing."

Standing next to Aiven, Liweina nodded as well, bringing Aiven an unsurprising piece of news.

"So whether it’s about stopping the Evil God’s plan or initiating our interstellar migration, we really don’t have much time to delay."

These words were spoken earnestly.

Despite Aiven’s current high position as [Truth Embodiment] and [God of All Things Fertile], in reality, countless "selves" have already fallen on the path to supremacy.

Among them, there was even an unfortunate one who accepted the "Shipwreck Mourner" path.

This constantly reminds Him that since He is the luckiest "self", He must not waste this opportunity.

Something must be done!

Turning to look at the huge glowing instrument beside him and Milan, who was now ready at the center of the instrument, Aiven took a deep breath, even more nervous than Milan himself.

To fundamentally counteract the Evil God’s plan, the most crucial thing is to promote Milan or Kongyu to [Crowned Rank] in the shortest time, granting them the qualification to inherit the [Clock Tower].

Let the "Chaos Worm" remain dormant forever.

So, they not only spent half a month conducting further exploration "Behind the Door" to collect all possible [World’s Favor].

Upon returning, Aiven even devoted all of his available "Spiritual Origin" to Milan, and the treasuries of the Duchy and the "Life Tree School" were open for supply.

Finally allowing him to meet the requirements for promotion in the shortest period.

As for Kongyu, who had to move to Saint Aiven City to evade the persistent Kaiamo, she could only clench her teeth in secret, consumed by jealousy.

When she first saw those mountains of precious resources, she knew she had already lost.

Even though divine power can’t match gold pounds, with just a little imagination, it was clear that His Majesty Galliot, who seemed rather scheming, certainly wouldn’t use these precious materials to satisfy her first.

She could only hope that this lucky fellow who won by lying down might leave her some leftovers after ascending.

Just... so frustrating!

As the full moon gradually rose.

"Activate the ritual!"

Whoosh——!

The Spiritual Wind swirled, and the brilliant magic spiritual light engulfed Milan entirely.
