Chapter 433: Chapter 51: The Heavenly Tower Descends

Gu Qian shared the secret signal she had arranged with Cola Bear with Li Yu and added before leaving, "Lord Merlin, are you planning to build a transmission line here?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Because I saw your Iron Tower on my way over," Gu Qian said with a touch of awe in her voice.

"My Iron Tower?" Li Yu was somewhat bewildered.

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, it should be a 220kv electric power Iron Tower, but to set up a transmission line, just having the tower isn’t enough. Moreover, I think that with our current transmission distances, there’s no need to go high-voltage," Gu Qian suggested from a professional standpoint.

Li Yu then thought of something and, without waiting to talk more with Gu Qian, hastily returned to his dwelling.

Before he even entered the gate, he saw from afar a towering Iron Tower lying in front of his house, having demolished a section of the courtyard wall, and stretching off into the wheat field nearby, flattening a swath of wheat.

The lizard people were gathered around, pointing and discussing the Iron Tower, and some were worshiping it.

Seeing Li Yu, they immediately cleared a path for him.

Li Yu looked around the crowd until he found Clara and breathed a sigh of relief.

The little maid also spotted Li Yu and squeezed through the crowd to run up to him.

"Lord Merlin, Xiao Wa has brought back something big this time."

"I’ve seen it. Are there any injuries?"

The little maid shook her head, "No, but it was quite a close call. I was in the yard when this metal frame suddenly appeared over my head. I was so scared I froze; I couldn’t move my body at all. In the end, it didn’t hit me.

"Oh right, there were a couple of kids playing by the street, and an old granny sunbathing. They were also shocked, but thankfully they weren’t hurt. It must be the hand of our Lord Saturday protecting us at the critical moment. However, our courtyard wall has collapsed."

"As long as no one is hurt, that’s good. It looks like we’ll need to find a new home for that little frog," Li Yu said.

In the past, the Eco-friendly Frog had also brought back some large items, such as a tractor and a transformer from outside the residential area, but nothing as outrageous as this time.

Bringing back a 220kv power Iron Tower directly, Li Yu even wondered if it could stand up, whether it would become the tallest structure on the Bratis Continent.

Li Yu looked through the collapsed section of the wall and saw the little tree frog lying contentedly in the pond, showing no remorse for the chaos it had caused.

Li Yu directed the lizard people outside to find some rollers and first moved the obstructing Iron Tower to one side.

As for the transmission line, he did not currently have any plans to build one.

Just as Gu Qian said, he was far from having sufficient equipment. Even if he added the previously obtained step-down transformer, he still lacked a step-up transformer, stabilizer, cables, a sufficient number of batteries, and so on.

Besides, these items were all quite heavy, and Li Yu couldn’t possibly carry them all; one wonders how many years it would take.

Unless the Eco-friendly Frog subsequently managed to gather all these materials and equipment for him, but the likelihood of that was far too small.

Moreover, undertaking a high-voltage transmission project in Green Field didn’t really make sense. The current power generation and consumption levels here were very low, and the transmission distances were short, so saving a bit on transmission losses wasn’t necessary at all.

However, adhering to the principle of using what can be used to avoid waste, Li Yu decided to slightly modify the Iron Tower by adding a telescope, turning it into a lookout tower.

The scouting range could be increased by at least twenty or thirty times, which would greatly enhance Green Field’s defensive capabilities and prevent it from being secretly attacked.

With this in place, Ireya and he could leave Green Field on long trips with much more peace of mind.

Beyond that, the tower itself also had a strong religious symbolism.

Its peculiar steel frame design, a towering height of twenty-five meters, suddenly appearing on Green Field... all of this undoubtedly added to its mystique and sacred aura.

This was evident from the reactions of the lizard people; if he could successfully erect the tower, it would also aid in further spreading the teachings of the Double Rest Sect.

Having made up his mind, Li Yu called the craftsmen of the Truth Bureau to draft a plan to lift the Iron Tower and re-anchor it to the ground.

He also had someone look for a new home for "Eco-friendly Frog."

Previously, Li Yu had kept the little frog close both for its safety and to conveniently observe what it brought back each time.

But back then, he had no idea the frog, although small in size, had such lofty aspirations and was quite good at scavenging.

It’s a good thing there wasn’t a nuclear power plant near the city he was living in, otherwise who knows when the little frog might whimsically bring him a couple bundles of nuclear waste.

For safety’s sake, Li Yu decided it was better to live separately from it.

Fortunately, the Double Rest Sect now had its own military forces, which could spare a detachment to protect Eco-friendly Frog.

And to be honest, Li Yu didn’t think the frog needed any protection, as it probably possessed some kind of ability to travel between planes, with phase shift capabilities that allowed it to disappear instantly when in danger.

It would only reappear after the danger had passed, making the task of assassinating it much more difficult than assassinating Li Yu himself.

In the following days, Li Yu was busy arranging work for after his departure.

The structure of the Double Rest Sect had been established: doctrines and precepts were in place, there was an income source, and the five main departments each had their roles.

Although there were still areas short-staffed and many were adapting to their new roles, the sect could essentially operate on its own.

This freed up more time for Li Yu, allowing him to focus more on formulating an overall development strategy rather than being distracted by trivial matters. He could also allocate some time to handling work from another universe.

Li Yu inquired about any suitable targets on Cola Bear’s side through QQ.

It took about half an hour before Cola Bear replied with a classic WeChat smiling face.

A while later, she typed, "Steam Deck is pretty fun. I work nights now and play games during the day. I feel like sudden death isn’t far off. I have every reason to suspect you’re doing this on purpose, trying to evoke my fear of death so you’ll get me to sign that underworld contract of yours."

Hot on the heels of her previous message, her third one quickly followed, "Forget it, I’ve already said I won’t get you any more business, I keep my word. Plus, I have a friend who knows a magician, and I’ve asked her to seek out that magician. It won’t be long before your trickery from the other day is exposed.

"Hahaha, you didn’t see that coming, did you? Your sis still has backup. Looks like you lost the Steam Deck and your soldiers this time."
