Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 736 - 649: Cruise Surveillance Array

The twelve spherical surveillance devices flying in the sky.

Two pairs of transparent wings support their aerial hover, with the gigantic mechanical eye on the ground continuously recording everything below.

This is one of Kane's preparations for the World Ring. Since this world is flat, it doesn't have the concept of spheres nor the cosmos.

So once the aircraft reaches a certain altitude, it will encounter a kind of barrier, which is the world's barrier. Crossing it leads to the void.

Kane tried, but to break through this barrier, a gold-level power is not sufficient at all.

Hence, the previous concept of using space satellites to fly into orbit for navigation is not applicable.

To solve the endurance issue, Kane, with Lulu's help, engraved intricate magic arrays on each surveillance device.

These arrays allow the surveillance devices to absorb high-altitude magic power to maintain themselves, and Kane further implemented various mechanical structures to reduce magic power consumption.

The core of each surveillance device is an intelligent core, maximizing their intelligence potential.

They are both individual units and a connected whole, forming Kane's "eyes".

Without using an intelligent core, building a device capable of monitoring the ground would be extraordinarily large.

Merely enabling it to cruise and investigate from the sky would require an enormous amount of magic power, making self-sufficiency almost impossible.

However, since this is a world of magic, various fluctuations in magic power affect the devices, limiting their detection range to the array composed of twelve surveillance devices.

Cyclic monitoring sees the vastest range, a ring with a diameter of 4500 kilometers.

This range is already enormous and fully sufficient for the current stage. Only when Kane can control half of this 4500-kilometer ring should he consider expanding the surveillance range.

Areas outside the ring can also be monitored, but the clarity significantly decreases.

Inside this 4500-kilometer ring includes Kane's territory, most of the Beastman's territory, and currently all of the Cannibal Ghosts' territory.

Also, some peripheral areas with various forces' territories that cannot be clearly divided, and some forest wilderness.

This surveillance array is mainly to track the Cannibal Ghosts' movements, so fully enveloping their territory within it would be a success.

And as Kane looked at the map in his hand, due to the surveillance device's ascent, a vast area on the map was completely revealed.

From the map, it's visible that a vast area around is a plain, extending into areas beyond the surveillance device's range.

Which means that the land beyond the snow-capped mountains is flat and habitable, and the surrounding land of the Knight Territory is fertile, just like elsewhere.

Once the Mist-bestowed map is fully explored, detailed geographical information becomes visible.

To truly grasp the enemy's movements, it's necessary to use the intelligent core for autonomous judgment and analysis and then transmit the information to the command center of the silo.

The command center will store the information and then send it to Youyou. As long as Youyou is within the surveillance range, she can receive this information.

Each surveillance device acts as an information transmission station, yet these transmission stations are very strict, not every device can receive, only intelligent devices can.

Being a magic world, this information is akin to a kind of soul or wisdom wave, not receivable or analyzable by simple devices or arrays.

Thus, to transmit information, an intelligent assistant made by the intelligent core is required.

To address this, Kane constructed some simple intelligent cores that can only receive information.

The intelligent core is only as big as a fist, capable of receiving transmitted map information and projecting the enemy's movements on the map.

Such an intelligent core is relatively easy to construct, and Kane equipped each team with one and gave 100 to the Lantern Knight Order for free distribution.

Information transmission can be completed using a BB machine; as long as it's in the same space, the BB machine's information transmission is instantaneous and unlimited by distance.

Moreover, it has strong information encryption, known to prevent signals from being detected by even three-color level experts.

Thus, Kane did not invest more magic power and effort to give intelligent devices additional functions, having a real-time information-receiving map was already quite good.

When Kane explained these functionalities to Kreya and handed an intelligent device to them,

these people immediately realized how crucial the surveillance devices' capabilities were on the battlefield.

This means that the fight against the Cannibal Ghosts, from now on, will happen right under their noses.

And if the Cannibal Ghosts have no countermeasures, their every move will be under control.

"How did you think of such a thing? Have the masters of the Mechanical Association achieved this level?" Raphael couldn't help but marvel at the intelligent core's real-time map projection.

Not to mention Raphael, even Kreya was somewhat astonished.

Although this machinery wasn't as shocking as seeing a giant mecha for the first time, upon careful reflection, one could detect the difficulty of creating such mechanical equipment, far surpassing that of a mecha.
