Chapter 66: Base Completion
Time flew by, and it was now the month of Thunder (April). The weather gradually became hotter, and the heat in the air made people feel a bit restless.
However, Sunan was quite excited.
The foundational construction of the base was finally complete!
Upon receiving the news, he rushed back to the base to prepare for the final step—laying the mana transmission conduits! If the earth node was the heart of the base, then the mana transmission conduits were its "blood vessels."
Only by laying a complete mana transmission system could the elemental magic from the earth node flow smoothly throughout the base, allowing all its facilities to function properly.
There were various materials available for creating mana transmission conduits, and after much consideration, Sunan decided to use crystals.
Crystals were the cheapest, had the best performance, and were the easiest mana transmission medium to produce artificially.
Mana transmission conduits made from a large number of artificial mana crystals were known as Crystal Traces.
Despite the low cost of crystals, the sheer size of the base meant that a significant amount of mana transmission conduits was required, resulting in substantial costs.
To date, Sunan had invested over 10,000 gold coins into the base's construction.
This was nearly equivalent to the annual income of the Shimmering Territory.
