Starting with the defeated female knight

The most crucial thing is that it's really true.

But even if you don't care about these trivial matters, there are still problems in producing this thing.

[Production capacity, population, and even the number of beacon tentacles are all insufficient...]

As mentioned before, under normal circumstances, the production of beacon tentacles is one per month.

Green originally thought that this production volume would be sufficient.

After all, for large-scale cognitive stable fields, one or two supply research points are sufficient.

But after this thing was put into practical use, Green gradually discovered...

This thing seems to be able to serve not only as a stabilizer for the cognitive field, nor just as a defensive tower, but also in many other aspects.

For example, something I recently discovered.

If this tentacle were to continuously use low-frequency, stable ray attacks on the sanctified materials and equipment...

Therefore, those materials or equipment that have been sanctified can be modified a second time.

Not only will the material itself change, but it is also very likely to undergo some kind of indescribable change.

[Armor with high mental resistance...that's normal.]

A whip that doesn't cause pain when it strikes, but rather brings pleasure... let's just call it a special weapon.

[A musket? What could be wrong with a musket? This is just... Holy crap, why are they firing pleasure field bullets?!]

As it turns out, there is still much room for development in the beacon tentacles.

It has unique and strange uses not only in maintaining the cognitive field, but also in developing various materials, studying mental pollution, and a series of other aspects.

To be honest, Green also found it very strange.

But as strange as it is, the stat boosts and other enhancements it brings are also strangely high.

In addition, there are various applications and the current situation.

The three leaders immediately reached a consensus.

As a result, there weren't enough beacon tentacles.

However, if we ask the nuns in the cathedral for more help and adjust the application sequence, it's not impossible to free up a space for the megastructure.

Even so, other problems still exist.

Dawn City's production capacity is indeed not low, but for a megastructure, it's not quite enough.

Especially now that the empire is recovering and conflict is imminent, there are too many production projects to handle and not much can be allocated to the megastructure.

It's just a matter of materials; at worst, we'll just have to spend more time grinding it out.

But the remaining population problem is something that can't be solved even by spending time.

Such a massive structure requires a considerable number of maintenance personnel, not to mention operators.

Moreover, the required qualities are also quite high.

If you insist on doing it, Green can indeed assemble a wave of giant structures in the current Dawn Territory.

But what about the rest?

Who will teach in primary schools? Who will handle research and development? All the skilled workers have been reassigned to maintenance; what will happen to rural industrial production?

As Green thought about these issues, he felt as if a voice was constantly calling out in his ear.

Insufficient population, insufficient crystal mineral reserves, insufficient gas reserves...

The main point is that it lacks everything.

[The time was still too short]

After the fantasy ended, the tentacle shook its head.

Although the technology and theory were indeed feasible, unfortunately, the Dawn Territory had too little time to develop and the Empire had too little time to recover.

Even if you have enough technology and materials, it won't work if production capacity and population can't keep up.

After the excited calculations, the flames in Uli's eyes gradually subsided.

After calming down, she had to admit it.

While it's possible that this thing could be developed in the future, it would be too much of a burden for Dawn Territory at present.

It's impossible to say I wasn't disappointed at all.

But compared to the complete lack of hope before, now it just takes some time to accumulate, which still fills her with confidence.

So after a brief moment of disappointment, a smile returned to her lips.

Just as we were preparing to optimize the structure with Green to see if we could reduce the size,

The tentacle suddenly narrowed its eyes.

Wait, I think I've thought of a way.

Uli was stunned for a moment, but even after she realized what it meant, she still didn't know what the tentacle was talking about.

After all, while this thing does seem feasible in theory and technology, it is only theoretical and technical.

The rest was almost entirely lacking, and no matter how hard Uli thought about it, she couldn't imagine how to patch up this flawed plan...

Wait, should we patch the vulnerability?

Uli paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

After looking up at the tentacles opposite him, the latter nodded and said seriously.

[If there's a vulnerability, why not just plug it up with tentacles?]

As for the rest...

The tentacle raised its head and looked in a certain direction.

Perhaps, there is a solution.

Volume 1: Chapter 131: Feeling Inferior to the Tentacle Underworld

After a secret exchange, Uli disappeared.

At least to outsiders, it has disappeared.

And somewhere, accompanied by the writhing of tentacles, beneath Dawn City, and even beneath the entire mountain range.

Some things that had been dormant for a long time have finally begun to flow again.

They seem to be plotting something strange.

But that's another story.

And now.

After the mages gathered in the industrial area finished their discussions, the plan for a single-person flying vehicle was put on the agenda.

After all, it's a technology that already exists, although it will definitely need to be adapted and optimized based on the situation in Dawn City.

But since there are already reference models, overall, the technical issues shouldn't be too troublesome.

As for another critical issue for flight testing, namely pilot safety...

Tentacle glanced silently at the extraordinary beasts beside him who were shooting each other with several modified versions of muskets.

I don't think it's a serious problem.

Forget it, let them do what they want.

Just be aware of the scale of the explosion.

So, after the tentacles nodded.

Along with the underground flow, there were also explosions on the ground.

The air force technology research and development in Dawn City has begun.

Of course, while researching science and technology is one thing, other things must also be done.

Take the construction of defensive lines, for example.

Under the command of the tentacles, the industrial zone of Dawn City and even the entire Dawn Ridge continued to operate.

They continuously produce various weapons, ammunition, and other materials needed to build defensive and offensive defenses.

Then, through magical steam vehicles or underground tentacle tunnels, they were sent to the front lines in batches, constantly building and reinforcing the defenses.

Meanwhile, behind the defensive line.

A large number of people were also transferred from various jobs and received further education and training on the basis of their existing education and reform.

Meanwhile, within Dawn City, a brand-new, large building gradually rose up. The people of Dawn City had never seen it before, and the people of the capital city looked somewhat familiar with it, but couldn't quite place it.

Until it was finally completed and a sign was hung up.

Dawn City Adventurers' Guild

Yes, Green also started an adventurers' guild.

But it wasn't just for fun; it was mainly to prepare for the upcoming conflicts, or even war.

It's not that Green doesn't want to build an army; in fact, the rooms that Dawn City is currently constructing are basically modeled after armies and legions.

The problem is that the beings in this world have too many and too varied abilities, and there are also some exceptionally outstanding athletes.

In this situation, forcibly integrating them together and conducting unified training would actually make it difficult for them to perform to their full potential.

Furthermore, since the Tentacle Dungeon team training program has already begun, establishing an Adventurers' Guild to take over this task and then turning it outwards is arguably the best solution at present.

Those who lacked particularly strong combat capabilities were organized into ordinary troops, trained, and used for long-range strikes with firearms and other weapons.

As for those with exceptional combat prowess, they were thrown into the Tentacle Dungeon for squad tactical training.

Once a certain level is reached, the corresponding information is directly imported into the Adventurers' Guild, and then deployed and assigned through missions.

This is Green's current plan.

Then, a group of squads selected from the Tentacle Dungeon were incorporated into the guild.

In the form of investigation missions, Green also issued frontline patrol and reconnaissance missions.

Of course, since his troops weren't produced out of thin air, they couldn't be easily consumed.

Therefore, instead of sending troops to investigate the situation on the other side like he did with Gray Fog Heart, he only had them patrol and guard the front-line border.

The main purpose is to prevent the other side from deploying similar reconnaissance squads to try to detect or destroy Dawn City.

As it turned out, the prediction was correct; the other side did not give up.

A few days after that reconnaissance team went missing.

late at night.

Several new, larger, stronger, and even armed squads of red-eyed orcs infiltrated the outskirts of Dawn Territory.

Then, they began to carefully seep in.

The process was not very smooth.

This is because Green has strengthened border security, especially with various patrol teams.

Even before they had begun to infiltrate, the small groups of red-eyed orcs felt considerable pressure as soon as they got close.

Shortly after the infiltration began, having just bypassed the outermost sentry post, a small team was discovered.

He had clearly tried his best to conceal his presence, he had clearly avoided that small team, and he had clearly chosen an extremely remote route.

But just as they were moving forward...

The scouts in the patrol team stopped.

After twitching his ears, he looked towards the location of the red-eyed orc squad and raised his finger.
