Starting from Zero

Waiting for Hades and Persephone to survive, I hurriedly put the gang of Pluto into the underworld.

Compared with Hades's original environment, the working environment in China is definitely very different in style. Let alone the architectural style, the scale is much worse. However, it is not that the offices in Europe are larger in everyone's imagination. On the contrary, the underworld in China is actually much larger than Hades's court. However, to outsiders, it seems that the Hell Tribunal in Europe is relatively large, which is mainly caused by the different design concepts.

Hades and their trial court seem to be very large, especially the internal courtroom, which is several times larger than the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and most people don’t say anything when they go in. You have to be frightened when you see this show. However, the trial court on the European side is different from ours. Except for the trial court, there are only a few small reference rooms left in their entire building. In addition, the trial courts in Europe have multiple internal structures. Except for the taller trial courts in the front, the latter are all stratified, so the floor space is not large.

Compared with the architectural structure of Hades and the others, the architecture of the underworld is more flat. Even the highest lobby in the entire Jifu is only about the height of one third of Hades's trial court, while the other Foundation Establishments are all bungalows, generally not more than five meters in height. In addition, unlike Hades, where they are all small offices except for the trial hall, the trial area of ​​the underworld, that is, the lobby, is not so big, while the various offices behind and the accommodation area of ​​Ghost Messenger are. It is extremely large, so the size of the underworld is far larger than Hades's court in terms of total area, but it looks so spectacular that no one has a home. The contrast between the two is like the contrast between the well-decorated suites in the city and the farmyard. One is exquisite and luxurious, and the other is super large.

As soon as Hades and the others entered the gate of the underworld, they frowned. Although the architecture of the underworld is fairly tidy, it is relatively simple after all. Hades and they have become accustomed to the luxurious palace-like working environment. In addition, I saw more exaggerated architectural styles in Isengard before, and now I suddenly see that the underworld is so shabby, the psychological gap is naturally greater.

"Why are you so broken here?" After Hades and the others came in, Radamantes was the first to ask the question in his heart.

I don't care at all about their dislike, after all, I didn't repair this netherworld. "You will just take this one." I helplessly said: "This was built by Celestial Court. After all, I am a contractor, not a buyout. It is not impossible to let me refurbish it at my own expense, but this investment always feels a bit of a loss. "

This is definitely what a normal person thinks. It's like you contracted a factory. If you want to change equipment for more profit, it's okay to say something, but if you want to decorate or green the factory, you definitely don't want to. Anyway, the production capacity of a factory has nothing to do with the environment of the factory area. It's okay to see it in the past. Even if you build the factory into the Imperial Palace, your product will not suddenly have any special features. If you say it is your own factory, you will repair it for the sake of face-saving projects, but the contracted things are not your own. Isn't it because you spend the money in your head?

Underworld is the same for me. This government office belongs to Celestial Court. I am only temporarily contracting it. Once the Celestial Court is to be taken back after the repair, it has nothing to do with me. And now my Yama Palace is just not gorgeous enough, it's not run-down, it doesn't have any problems with the basic functions of the building alone, so I just didn't care about it. Moreover. In the past, only the NPC equipped by Celestial Court for me worked here. At most, I hired some NPCs. Players would only send someone to one or two times when something happened. Usually, no one came down. If I still throw money in this semi-abandoned state for decoration, it would be strange if I didn't scold me to death for the personality of the rose.

After hearing my explanation, Hades and the others understood why it looks so shabby. After all, the buildings they saw in Isinger before were all magnificent in appearance and luxurious in interior. The style of this underworld is really very different, so according to their previous judgments, they all think that we are very rich and shouldn't make the underworld so bad.

After understanding the reason why I didn’t repair the netherworld, the Divine Race didn’t say anything, but followed me to visit the structure of the entire palace. Of course, it’s more important to be with the original NPCs here. Get to know, after all, Hades and the others will take over the work here.

After visiting all the underworld, Hades dispatched Radamantes and the others to start taking over the work of the underworld, and he took Persephone and Pandora with him. I entered the warehouse of the underworld. In fact, this warehouse is basically empty. Except for a few broken weapons used by Ghost Messenger, not even a rat can be found in it. It is not to check supplies but to discuss things here.

After I closed the warehouse door, Hades pulled out a bunch of messy things directly from his Divine Kingdom, and then saw him give the bunch of things that looked like discus. Stacked up layer by layer, and in the end, he was stunned to put together something that looked like a candied fruit stick. The difference is that every “hawthorn” on this “candied fruit stick” seemed to be squashed. The shape of dried persimmon. Of course, the material of these "hawthorns" is definitely not something that ordinary people can chew. Because these strings are actually made of Soul Crystal.

"This is the faith collector?" I asked aloud when I looked at the "candied fruit stick" in front of me.

Hades nodded and said: "This is actually just the main body. When we really need it, we usually add a shell on the outside. First, it can protect the internal structure, and second, it's more beautiful. Some."

Looking at the "candied fruit stick" with a diameter of more than 30 cm and a height of more than one meter, I asked suddenly: "Are there any special requirements for the material and shape of the shell?"

Hades thought for a while and said: "There are no special requirements. Just be careful not to wrap it with magic blocking materials."

"Then if I put this Where is the stuff inside the sculpture?"

"Sculpture?" Hades was stunned for a moment.

I thought he didn’t understand what I meant, and quickly explained: “It’s just to use stone or bronze to make a portrait or a statue of Divine Beast or monster, and then put this collector inside the sculpture. , Is this okay?"

Hades immediately asked: "You mean to hide the faith collector in the statue and place it in the other ten Yama Palaces?"

>

Seeing that Hades understood what I meant, I immediately nodded and said: "Yes. That's what I meant. If we openly put the collector in the other ten Yama Palaces, those Yamas would definitely ask us about this What is the purpose of the thing. Even if we can deceive it, it is easy to be suspicious. I can’t as well cast ten statues of Yamas directly, and then put the collectors in the statues and give them to the Yamas, so that we won’t solve the other ten. Is there a problem with the Power of Faith collection at Yama Palace?"

Hades shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. In addition to putting the collector in the past, there are two problems that need to be solved."< /p>

"You said."

"First, the Power of Faith collector has a distance limit to the collection ability of Power of Faith, and Power of Faith itself is a natural The energy that is easily dissipated in space, so you must ensure that these statues with collectors are not far from the location where Power of Faith is generated."

I thought about it and asked: "The collection of this thing How long is the distance?"

Hades said: "The collection capacity of the collector gradually changes with distance. The limit collection range of this collector you see is one kilometer, in this range No matter how much Power of Faith there is, it can’t be collected at all. The collection rate gradually increases as the distance approaches within one kilometer, and 100% absorption rate can be guaranteed within ten meters, and no trace of power is wasted. The longer the distance, the better the effect. Poor. But generally as long as the distance is not more than 200 meters, the absorption rate will not be less than 90%. We used to put this collector directly in the center of the court hall, which is equivalent to directly sticking to the deceased being tried. However. , If you can’t guarantee the distance, we can also modify this collector to increase the range, but that will cause the volume of the collector to increase, and even if the collector is enlarged, the optimal collection range will usually not exceed one. Kilometers."

"How big is a collector that can achieve a collection rate of more than 90% within a range of 500 meters?"

"The thickness is almost similar to this, at most It can be a few centimeters thick, but the length may increase to four to five meters."

I nodded and said: "Size is not a problem. At worst, we make the sculpture bigger For one thing, no matter how big the collector is, I can put it in for you. As for the distance issue... I can build a square for the Yamas in front of the Yama Palace, and then erect the statue directly in the center of the square. In this way, the distance from the trial of the undead, that is, the position where the Power of Faith is generated, should be guaranteed to be about three to four hundred meters in a straight line. In this case, a receiver with a range of 500 meters should be able to guarantee the absorption ratio. "

Hades nodded said: "Then there is one last question. The collector is only responsible for collecting Power of Faith, it can't send us Power of Faith back, so you have to send someone to get it. "

"Huh? How do I get this? "

"The method is the same as that of transferring Power of Faith here. Take Divine Soul to guide the Power of Faith in the collector, and then bring Divine Soul back. However, considering that the collector itself does not have a storage function, there is usually a Divine Soul next to it as a storage. After that, you only need to replace the Divine Soul with a new one before it is full and load this into the Divine of Power of Faith. Just bring Soul back. "

When I heard this method, my brows were almost squeezed. "It's not a problem to repair the statue and control the distance. It's just that we always send people to run around other people's statues for three days. It's really unreasonable. . Once or twice, I can still find excuses for prevarication, and more times will definitely arouse suspicion. "

"This is your problem, I have already told you how to do it anyway. "

When I heard Hades said such irresponsible things, I could only do it in a hurry. But things are dead and people are alive. There is always a way to think about it.

I thought about it and said, "That's it. You first make ten collectors according to my requirements, and when you are finished, I will send someone to cast a statue to hide the collectors inside. As for the next thing, I will find a way. Let's put the collector in place first, and get Power of Faith one day earlier, we will have more power, right? "

Hades nodded agreed, and then stretched out a hand directly at me. I looked at his hand suspiciously, and then looked up at him in a daze. See Hades I didn't understand, so I said directly: "What about the materials? You let me do it myself, right? "

"Oh sorry, forget that Soul Crystal is also a scarce resource. How much do you need, and what other materials are there to open a list for me, I'll get it for you. "

Hades didn't have an open for me list, but directly said: "I have other materials, you just need to get me a kg of Soul Crystal. "

"Is only one kg enough?" "

Hades almost didn't fall to the ground after hearing me. "Are you sure you know what Soul Crystal is?" "

I directly took out a Soul Crystal the size of a fist and asked, "Isn't it this?" "

Hades took a look at the Soul Crystal in surprise, then looked at me and asked: "This thing is also Chinese cabbage, how can I listen to you as if you have a lot of them here?" "

I hehe laughed, and then deliberately approached him thiefly and said, "Don't tell others." I once robbed Titans’ treasury before, and the spoils of war I brought back contained more than 20 kg Soul Crystal. Although a few kilograms were used in the experiments conducted by our guild, there are still more than ten kilograms left, and one kilogram is absolutely no problem. "

When Hades heard this, he couldn't help saying: "Now I start to feel that following you is indeed more promising than following Zeus. No matter what you do to your subordinates, at least you are much richer than him. "

"hehe, windfall, windfall. "Speaking of this, I suddenly said resolutely again: "Do you really want other things?" "

Hades thought for a while and said: "It was originally unnecessary, but if you have so many Soul Crystals, I have a way to solve the transportation problem of Power of Faith. "

"How to solve it? "

Hades said: "We can use Soul Crystal to make transmission lines, just like Isinger's power pipeline, but this is used to transmit Power of Faith. Originally, I thought Soul Crystal would be difficult to find. I was afraid that you might not even get the parts needed for the collector, so I didn't tell you about this method. But since you have so many Soul Crystals here, we can have the luxury of making a transmission pipeline to transmit all the Power of Faith to our Yama Palace, so that there is no need to put Divine in those Yama Palace sculptures. Soul is the storage, we don't always need to send someone to replace Divine Soul. "

"The effect you said is pretty good, but are you sure that the Soul Crystal here is enough? Are the ten Yama Palaces not close to me? "

Hades immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you can't reach it. As long as the Power of Faith is guided out of the direct control of those Hades, it will be much more convenient for us to collect Power of Faith. But in this way, you still need to waste Divine Soul as storage. "

"Then you tell me how long the transmission pipeline can be for my Soul Crystal? "

"One kilogram of Soul Crystal can be used as a transmission pipeline for about 80 kilometers. How much do you have? "

"You will wait. "As I said, I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space directly, and then stuffed half of my body into the space and turned it over. It took me 3 minutes to pull out an atlas from it, and then spread it out on the ground. Following me, I found out a ruler and measured it according to several positions on the side of the picture. In Hades and their puzzled eyes, I kept measuring on the side of the picture for more than ten minutes before I became excited. Said: "Haha, enough. Excluding the one kilogram used to make the collector, we still have more than 17 kilograms left. I did the calculations. If the pipe arrangement I just calculated is more than 1,300 kilometers, my Soul Crystal of more than 17 kg is just enough, maybe there are still some left. "

"That's right, you give me Soul Crystal, and you can get me a few tons of glass and silver. Oh, by the way, some metal is needed to make the shell, preferably the type with strong corrosion resistance and high hardness. "

"Metal is easy to handle. Our guild has its own steel base. If we are afraid of corrosion, I will let someone use the magic machine to directly hit the Eternal Law array. But what do you want glass and silver for? "

"The transmission pipeline is mainly made of glass, so the amount is very large. This thing is so good anyway, you'd better prepare more. The silver is used as the coat layer, mainly to prevent the leakage of Power of Faith. You only need to put a silver protective layer on the finished main pipe. This is not too much, but you need to spread it. For more than 1,000 kilometers of pipelines, the amount will certainly not be too small. You'd better prepare a three to five hundred kilograms. "

I nodded and said: "It's okay, silver and glass are not rare things, even if you need dozens of tons, there is no problem. I'll send it back later. Oh, just like this. I directly sent a construction team to rebuild a Yama Palace in your style for you, and now this is just abandoning it. This can just conceal our transportation of materials for construction, and by the way, we can also use the remaining building materials as an excuse to use the remaining materials to repair sculptures and squares, so that everyone will not doubt that I have other purposes. "

"It's really a good idea, but what do you plan to do with those underground pipes?" "

"The pipeline part is the best thing to do. That thing was built underground anyway, so I just made some creatures that could pierce and built it underground. "

Hades suggested: "This is not good. Although the underground construction is hidden, it is difficult to explain if it is discovered one day. Just tell them to fix a magic communication channel to facilitate mutual coordination between Yama Palace, and when the time comes, you just bury the Power of Faith transmission channel together. Not only will you not have to worry about being discovered, you can just and honorable dig the ground to repair the pipe if something goes wrong in the future. Anyway, those hells don’t know which pipe you are repairing. "

"Sure enough, it's a good idea. Let’s just do it. Wait, I will go back to Isengard to get you materials. "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
