On the boundless ocean, there were only shimmering waves.
Occasionally, dolphins leaped, bringing pearl-like splashes into the air, leaving rainbows before returning to the currents.
Looking into the sea, the tropical fish also presented a scene of 'empty, with nothing to rely on'.
At the edge of the horizon, there was only a line where the sea met the sky.
This beautiful scenery made Tashiniya and her companions cheer happily, making Su Lin's effort to synchronize the light and shadow textures of the fourth floor with the first to third floors well worth it.
Charlie and his team chose to build their first official Raid Tower here.
In this type of area, as long as a suitable platform is built, it can basically ensure that the raiding monsters spawn on the platform.
Of course, this place was also quite far from the Pillager Outpost. If they wanted to go back and kill a captain to get the Bad Omen buff, traveling would be an issue.
However, in Charlie's opinion, it wasn't a big problem—
Just have the Vex Riders make a few more trips.
Once the Raid Tower was officially operational, Charlie planned to research a Bottle of Bad Omen farm.
Although he hadn't heard Su Lin say whether it could succeed, —
This was the MC Dungeon!
As long as there was an idea, it could definitely be realized!
Charlie was already a fervent believer in the MC Dungeon.
The wooden boat for transporting villagers had also arrived. Charlie looked at Su Lin, and after the latter waved his hand to signal the start of work,
Veronika and her companions witnessed the birth of another miracle.
Now they understood how that magnificent town had been built so quickly—
By stacking blocks.
In Tashiniya's words:
"This is purely something anyone with hands can do!"
The originally tranquil, peaceful, and beautiful ocean scenery was completely shattered at this moment.
A strange platform and a towering stone pillar rose from the ground.
In no more than five minutes, the rudimentary form of a massive structure appeared.
"It's even simpler than playing with building blocks in the Heavens—building blocks would collapse, but these structures, they're practically grown together!"
Tashiniya joyfully paddled her boat closer to Su Lin.
"Pope! Is construction in the MC Dungeon always this easy?"
"If you don't consider the principles… it is indeed so."
"It's too abstract—the Heavens have so many worlds, but I've never seen any world this abstract!"
Su Lin raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.
"This is the MC Dungeon, after all—."
Do you understand the value of 'Physics is Dead, MC Reigns Supreme'?
Perhaps they had already experienced enough worldview collapse for the day, so a few more times wouldn't make much difference.
Veronika and her companions comforted themselves for a moment, then quickly accepted this trampling of the laws.
At the very least, they would also be beneficiaries of the dividends of this abstract characteristic.
The Raid Tower quickly took shape. While Su Lin and Tashiniya were chatting, it had already entered the final stage of detailing.
To be honest, he still didn't understand how this thing worked, but it didn't matter; he was the boss.
Seeing the soldiers begin to settle the villagers and establish the smallest village, Su Lin looked at Charlie beside him.
"You said before that this Raid Tower still wasn't perfect, did you—"
"Sometimes monsters get stuck."
Charlie said with some embarrassment:
"I don't know why, but sometimes the monsters that spawn from the raid don't all obediently accept the death we've prepared for them; they get stuck on the upper levels and don't move."
"However, this problem isn't very serious. At least they all spawn on the upper levels as we intended."
Su Lin hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously:
"So, how do you plan to solve it?"
"We've arranged for a few soldiers to stay behind. Once a monster gets stuck, they'll go up the elevator to clear it. It's not dangerous, and it's much better than having them spawn all over the village. The efficiency is also quite high."
To put it bluntly,
It was semi-manual, semi-automatic.
It was far inferior to the highly efficient and effortless Raid Towers of the big players in the game, but it was still commendable that it was independently researched by the researchers.
Moreover, the Elf Race had many people, and Su Lin wasn't playing in single-player hardcore mode. This kind of Raid Tower was sufficient; they could always iterate on it later.
Now, being able to mass-produce Totems of Undying was the most important thing.
"Traveling is a hassle."
Aelita flipped through her notebook, saying with some helplessness:
"Although there are Vex Riders going back and forth to get the Bad Omen buff, it's still a bit of a waste of time."
Charlie was silent for a moment, then nodded and said?
"We've thought about creating a teleportation device. Our preliminary guess is that it might be possible to create one using Ender Pearls, Redstone Sensors, TNT acceleration, and other characteristics."
This sounded familiar to Su Lin.
After a moment of recollection, Su Lin's eyes lit up.
"Vector Pearl Cannon?"
The thought process of these Elves was truly expansive!
They were even starting to tackle such high-end fast-travel devices?
The Minecraft World really was a place where imagination could be unleashed.
"Mr. Su Lin, do you understand this kind of teleportation device?"
Charlie looked at Su Lin with some excitement.
A Vector Pearl Cannon, it certainly sounded related to Ender Pearls, so their guess seemed correct!
"Yes, this is a very feasible Redstone Technology."
"However, at this stage, this thing is very difficult to make, comparable in difficulty to the Sky-based Dragon Slayer Cannon."
Su Lin was a little helpless.
He had actually seen a Vector Pearl Cannon.
It was created by a group of MC Redstone masters during a large PVP faction war, with the goal of instantly teleporting to enemy bases to cause destruction.
But in that war, these were mere child's play.
Things like resurrection systems, matrix destruction, and coordinate bombers evolved from a primitive civilization of slash-and-burn agriculture to interstellar warfare in less than seven days.
It was then that Su Lin realized that in a war game among masters, every frame was a point of knowledge.
But he believed that with the wisdom and longevity of the Elf Race, one day, they too could evolve into such terrifying Redstone Engineers.
By then, he would definitely blow up the Heavens' graphics cards!
But the future was the future; if they couldn't make it now, even forcing them wouldn't help.
Su Lin sighed and said softly:
"Let's utilize the special relationship between the Nether and the Overworld to make a simple portal."
One block in the Nether was equivalent to eight blocks in the Overworld.
Vector teleportation and such were too high-end; for many, playing with Nether Portals was a lifetime's endeavor.
Charlie, however, suddenly understood, and then felt a bit self-reproachful:
"I actually forgot about this! How terrible! It seems I still don't understand the MC Dungeon enough! I'll have someone do it right away."
"Not so fast."
Su Lin stopped Charlie.
"Let's do one wave first and see the effect."
The Elf soldiers carrying the Bad Omen buff were already in position.
Short-distance Nether Portals were not difficult to make, so there was no need to rush.
Su Lin was still more interested in the Raid Tower that was about to become operational.
At this moment, the Elf researcher who had completed the final verification work called out from afar.
"Mr. Su Lin, verification is correct. Requesting activation of the Raid Tower."
It was quite ceremonial; Su Lin even felt like they could have a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Waving his hand, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time quickly walked to the lower level of the Raid Tower.
There was no grand activation sound; only the raid progress bar truly appeared in Su Lin's eyes.
Looking up at the platform above, Charlie and the others also held their breath in unison.
Although they had experimented many times, apart from the occasional monster getting stuck, normal operation was not an issue.
In fact, Charlie thought that the reason for monsters getting stuck might be related to building on land, and moving it to the sea should largely solve the problem this time.
But no matter what, it was the first official Raid Tower put into use. If something went wrong during its first activation,
He wouldn't be able to face anyone.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Several Pillager figures appeared as if out of thin air in the designated monster-spawning area, and were then pushed to their deaths.
Aelita punched the air with some excitement.
But Charlie and his team were still holding their breath. The first wave of the raid had no stuck monsters.
This was a very smooth start; now it was up to the most crucial subsequent waves.
In Charlie's team's many experiments, the raid waves with Ravagers were the most prone to getting stuck, and they had made specific improvements for this.
The first wave of the raid was successfully harvested, but they couldn't be careless yet.
Perhaps moving the Raid Tower to the sea was indeed the correct choice. They stared intently for a long time, but the subsequent monster spawning progress remained quite smooth.
Veronika stared intently, noticing that a large number of emeralds fell and entered the chests through hoppers.
Magical—
It was completely different from the mainstream magic technology of the Aetheram Continent, and one could even say there was no trace of magic being used at all.
Was this what Charlie called 'science'?
Veronika felt that this so-called 'science' might also have a revolutionary significance on the Aetheram Continent.
In the future, a group of people would have to be dedicated to studying these things.
Everyone had their own thoughts, staring intently at the constantly cleared raid waves until the last Evoker was also successfully harvested.
Without waiting for the Elf soldiers to check, Aelita rushed forward and opened the chest. After a careful look, she turned back and shouted excitedly.
"Five! Su Lin! There are five Totems of Undying!"
"Good!"
The first official Raid Tower of the MC Dungeon was successfully put into use.
At this, Charlie and the others finally cheered with a sense of relief.
