The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

"I heard from my people that there was a group of goblins who were put on the Empire's kill list because they helped the Empire's enemies forge weapons."

"And the people they helped were also wiped out by the Empire, so the goblins were left to wander aimlessly."

"No one dares to take them in, because the empire has declared that anyone who takes them in is an enemy of the empire, and the empire will definitely send troops to punish them."

"In short, that group of goblins became a universally hated entity, and virtually all forces avoided them like the plague."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately became interested. Other races would avoid them like the plague, but he wasn't afraid of them at all.

Let's not talk about anything else.

How much better off am I than they are?

It's no exaggeration to say that if their situation were exposed, they would be universally condemned.

"I might consider looking for these goblins later. If I can find them and they come to help me, it would be a great help to me."

Thinking about this, Jiang Chen pondered for a while longer.

"Do you know where those goblins are?"

Lilith shook her head at this.

"How am I supposed to know that?"

"You'll just have to wait until later and send people out to inquire; that's probably all you can do."

As she spoke, Lilith seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, Jiang Chen, that site has been almost completely dug up by those little pugs. According to them, they should be able to empty the entire site in the next day or two."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also somewhat surprised.

"So fast?"

"What else?" Lilith said, her gaze falling on an open space not far from the market.

This place is piled high with sacred stones that were dug up from the ruins.

"By the way, Jiang Chen, hasn't your so-called war weapons program even started yet?"

"The blueprints are ready. Once they've settled things at the ruins, we can start construction."

The players have just finished making all sorts of tools for me, so when I start working, my production efficiency will definitely increase a lot.

This war fortress looks like a giant whale.

Players named it Sky Whale.

The entire sky whale is two kilometers long and reaches a height of one kilometer.

When it was actually manufactured, it would undoubtedly be a colossal behemoth that blotted out the sky.

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't expect to be able to manufacture the Sky Whale in the short term; it was just a long-term goal.

Jiang Chen planned to contract out the manufacturing of the Sky Whale later on.

The design drawings show that this space whale adopts a modular design.

It is made up of multiple suitable modules that are magically joined together.

The reason for using this method is that it is the most reliable when repairing or reinforcing the system later.

In the future, when better materials and more advanced magic circle arrangements become available, we can simply replace them with modules of the same model.

In Jiang Chen's plan, the empty whale he created needed to be continuously optimized.

After all, as their future base, they must have the ability to cope with various crises.

The current design of the Sky Whale is divided into several sections.

The first section is the residential area.

There is a huge open space on the back of the Sky Whale, where a city can be built to serve as a residence for players and other affiliated races.

Of course, the city also needs to be equipped with various weapons to deal with enemies who might attack from above.

Secondly, the Sky Whale must possess the most basic flight capability and have the ability to teleport over a certain distance.

Space teleportation capability is extremely important because the Air Force is such a large target.

Moreover, such a huge behemoth can't go very fast no matter how fast it is, which can easily lead to a serious problem.

If he really encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, and was unlucky, he might not even be able to escape, which was something Jiang Chen didn't want to see.

He didn't want his painstakingly built war fortress to be destroyed. But with the ability to teleport, things would be different.

Even if you can't win, at least running away shouldn't be a big problem.

Jiang Chen even asked Moses about this idea, and the latter concluded that it was basically unrealistic.

The only feasible solution at present is to use a teleportation array.

Simply put, it involves inscribing a special teleportation magic circle inside the space whale.

This teleportation magic circle can be linked with a pre-placed magic circle on the ground to achieve the purpose of teleportation.

However, according to Moses' calculations, each use of the spatial teleportation magic circle in this way requires a massive amount of magic crystals, depending on the distance.

Furthermore, once the location of the teleportation array on the ground is exposed, the Sky Whale will likely become a sitting duck for the enemy if it teleports there.

Despite the various potential risks, Jiang Chen still chose this method.

At least this way, they have some ability to escape.

Aside from that, Jiang Chen arranged some very important things inside the Sky Whale.

First, there's no need to elaborate on the control room. Next, Jiang Chen plans to move facilities similar to manufacturing plants or other future facilities inside the Sky Whale.

Of course, not just anyone can enter. Apart from players, other subordinate races can only enter after reaching a certain level of trust.

As for how many floors there will be inside, and what each floor will be like, there are no plans yet.

Aside from these, the most crucial aspects are the Sky Whale's attack and defense capabilities, which are also the most important.

Jiang Chen also plans to inscribe all the high-level attack and defense magic, and arrange all kinds of runes. In short, the Sky Whale Project is Jiang Chen's most important project after this.

Basically, all subsequent development resources and aspects will have to revolve around this.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had already made plans; he would absolutely not leave the underground city before he brought out the Sky Whale.

However, while Jiang Chen was still pondering the various details of the Sky Whale.

On the players' side.

The players are still working enthusiastically.

However, just when the players thought today would be like any other day, with them working hard to earn some gold coins, something different happened.

With a piercing sound, an excavator seemed to have dug up something else.

"What's going on? Why can't we dig anymore?"

The player seemed a bit strange as he spoke.

"Hey bro, why aren't you moving?"

The players standing nearby were also somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know, I think I dug up something strange."

However, at that moment, many other players nearby also stopped.

Clearly, they encountered a similar situation.

"So what happened?"

The group of players immediately went to check the situation, and then, they all instinctively widened their eyes.

The ground, which should have been paved with gray holy stones, turned golden yellow at some point.
