Chapter 1436: Multi-Line Arrangement, Lonely City Where One Cannot Return Home!

"Although it is the last version, the time for the final battle is not as hasty as you think. The first gambling battle will not start until half a year later, and it is still uncertain how long the gambling battle will last. If it lasts for three to five years inside, there is still plenty of time for you to develop outside."

Suma was not comforting, but telling the truth: "Besides, the scene of the second gambling battle will be decided by me, so after winning the first time, the probability of our winning the second time will be very high!"

Although after the death tide disaster is opened, according to the stage power changes given by Adam, humans must win before the fifth stage.

But if you calculate carefully, it is not so easy for the death tide to open the fifth stage.

The condition for entering the first stage is the death of 5 million people.

If the natural disaster was not determined before, without the help of these game functions, it might not take three to five months to gather.

However, now all functions have returned, and all kinds of disasters have disappeared.

What threat is there in an infected body created by a zero-stage death tide?

As long as ordinary survivors are brave enough, they can fight the infected with cold weapons.

In this case, there will be no obstacles to the upcoming autumn harvest, and the bumper harvest is just around the corner.

With enough supplies, the winter of the second year will not be too difficult, and the death toll can be controlled.

If you think optimistically, there will be at least half a year of buffer time between stage zero and stage one.

From stage one to stage two, although the infected can absorb the power of destruction on their own, their strength will increase rapidly.

But at this time, most human territories should have developed modern weapons, and it should not be difficult to stop the infected.

And to enter the second stage, the death toll must reach 20%.

According to the current 1.5 billion survivors, it will take 300 million people to sacrifice before it can be opened.

For this step, Su Mo gave a time of at least three years.

Within three years, humans will never pay such a heavy price when they have enough supplies and weapons.

Unless the alien race starts a war in advance.

Once the two sides go to war, the number of casualties will rise rapidly to 300 million.

However, if the first gambling fight had not ended, the alien race would most likely not choose to take action to increase the risk.

And when the gambling fight ended, the alien race would attack.

It only takes half a year to start the second gambling fight, and there is no fear of the death tide rushing to the later stage.

Because in the third stage, the death tide will be added with a regular time lock.

There will be a one-year mandatory buffer in the third stage, and the fourth stage will not be started regardless of the number of deaths.

Only when the time lock is released, the infected body begins to absorb the scattered destructive power.

When it absorbs a certain value, it will enter the difficult fourth stage.

At this time, the strength of the infected body will increase significantly, and it is almost impossible for small and medium-sized territories to survive under the impact of the infected body.

It is difficult for Su Mo to judge how long he can last in the fourth stage, and Adam can only give a vague guess based on the past.

One year.

The dead humans will be resurrected immediately, become infected bodies and join the death tide, thus entering an irreversible vicious cycle.

If Su Mo does not want to see only one Tianyuan territory left in the wasteland, with only a few survivors left.

Then we must win two gambling battles within six years at the latest and four years at the earliest!

"If there is four years, it will be enough. I will bring out at least five divisions of 100,000 elite soldiers!"

Su Deben said firmly.

Now the territory suffers from the lack of food and grass in the material warehouse, and there is no way to support large-scale off-the-job training for personnel.

But after the next autumn harvest, everything will be different.

In terms of the current scale of Tianyuan farming, at least enough materials can be produced to feed two million people for a year.

With such a huge supply of resources, it is enough to supply at least 20,000 people for off-the-job training.

Later, sow in the east and harvest in spring!

After the death tide comes, there will be no severe natural disasters affecting the harvest, and rounds of cycles will be launched.

This is the foundation for whether human civilization can take root in the wasteland.

Otherwise, with inexplicable natural disasters continuing, how can we talk about development and the final decisive battle with alien races?

Even if the scale of cultivation in Tianyuan Territory is no longer expanding, it can make use of the upcoming trading secret realm, water trade, and exchange materials with industrial products and agricultural territories.

Su Deben was not just talking about supplying a total of 500,000 troops to the three departments, but had a plan long ago!

"500,000 elite soldiers are definitely enough for us to protect ourselves!"

Su Mo nodded, this number is already twice the standing combat power of Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins.

If the number of people continues to expand endlessly, it will not make much sense.

When the decisive battle really comes, there will be no distinction between you and me among human territories, and the soldiers will all converge.

At least each of the three royal families can provide 2 million soldiers, a total of 6 million people.

Mixing the troops of the medium, large, and small territories, the total force will easily exceed 10 million people.

At this scale, even if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of more people, it will not change the situation.

On the contrary, investing the resources of the surplus personnel into scientific research, logistics, intelligence and other aspects can bring much more important help than the number of people.

"I will lead the institute to shift the focus of research to weapons and defense equipment..."

Lü Kuan pondered for a while and sighed with some discomfort.

Since we have a solid research foundation in Energy Stone Technology, other aspects seem to have been opened up, and good news has been reported frequently.

At the weekly technical meeting, the various departments of the institute seem to be competing for credit, and breakthroughs are made one after another.

Now they suddenly turn their guns around, stop other research, and study weapons for both offense and defense.

It's not impossible, but I don't know if we can maintain the current research speed.

However.

"No need to change the research direction, continue our existing research!"

Since the danger in the special space has been successfully overcome, Su Mo has no need to hide it.

Hearing that he has spent more than 20 years in the ruins, the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at each other, even Lv Kuan and his group who had been locked in the brain box for hundreds of years, put themselves in the scene described by Su Mo, and could only feel endless despair.

"For more than 20 years, you can't move, and you have been doing research?"

Lv Kuan swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty.

Even if he is such a person who loves scientific research, if he becomes a vegetable who can only think, I am afraid...

No fear, if that is the case, he might as well die.

After all, being locked in the brain box, the consciousness can still be connected to the virtual reality. Except that many touch and senses are simulated electronically, the experience is almost the same as that of ordinary people.

"It's not that I'm always researching. I still take a lazy rest occasionally."

Su Mo said in a relaxed tone: "And it's not just me who is doing research. In that special space, there is also a whole earth's scientific research force cooperating with me. Although this part of time is not long, it has also produced a lot of good things."

There are definitely no lethal weapons, and the national platforms do not allow private research institutes to do this.

But there is no limit on defensive equipment.

At present, in addition to the stress protection shield, Su Mo's mind is filled with at least ten advanced technologies that can be used on the battlefield.

"In the next period of time, I will gradually sort out these technologies. As long as they can be put into production, there should be no worries on the defense side."

"As for weapons... It is best to use cold weapons for small-scale battles. If you can't use them, try not to use high-powered bombs. Try to ensure that there is no large-scale environmental damage."

"Why is that?"

Feng Tianmin was puzzled.

"If we use cold weapons, we won't have much advantage against aliens."

"Because of disasters."

Su Mo tested it and found that this part of the game still had no cognitive barriers. He immediately said:

"You can understand it this way. When using weapons to cause damage, the threat level of disasters newly added after the version update will increase. The more powerful the weapons used, the wider the range of damage, and the faster the threat level rises."

"Is there such a saying?"

A group of people immediately realized the trouble.

It was indeed described in the version update that after the death tide comes, there will be no large-scale disasters. Instead, each territory will randomly come, and the threat level must be accumulated to a sufficient level.

I didn't expect that using firepower weapons would actually accumulate threat levels?

"Soon, a territory should be able to test this out. I just knew this in advance."

Su Mo didn't say much.

Sometimes, knowing too much will increase the psychological burden.

He didn't plan to tell anyone present about the changes in the several stages after the death tide.

What is coming will come. Worrying about these things in advance will only make people panic all day long.

After explaining all the things that needed to be explained, Su Mo drank a sip of water and said solemnly:

"I have other things to do in the next period of time, and I may not be back until the gambling fight begins. I don't know if the aliens have any means to detect that I am still alive, but we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. We still have to make the necessary preparations, and we must do them as beautifully as possible. As long as we can deceive them, the first gambling fight can directly increase the winning rate by 30%."

"Secondly, with the opening of the trading secret realm, Tianyuan's trade will also be completely connected to other places in the wasteland. I hope everyone will pay attention to this opportunity and not have any behavior that despises other territories. In any case, everyone must always remember that no matter what the lords of other human territories do, there will always be innocent survivors under their command. As long as we can save these people, our goal will be achieved."

"Again..."

One after another, the illusory cards seemed to contain endless mysteries and power. As Su Mo's mind moved subtly, they appeared out of thin air on the conference table one after another as if being pulled by invisible silk threads.

There were so many of them that they quickly covered the conference table, which was about twelve meters long and three meters wide, in the blink of an eye.

Among them.

The first-level resource cards, which were shining with a bright white light, were the most numerous, with hundreds of them.

The cards were neatly arranged together, and the pure and flawless light intertwined with each other, reflecting a peaceful and hopeful scene, which was so beautiful that it was refreshing.

Next came the second-level resource cards emitting blue light, and the number was also quite considerable, a full sixty.

Each one seemed to be soaked in the deep color of the ocean, and the rich blue seemed to be able to drip, revealing a freshness and depth, which made people involuntarily indulge in it.

What was even more amazing was that there were even more advanced resource cards appearing on the table one after another.

The cyan third-level resource card, the purple fourth-level resource card, and the red fifth-level resource card!

And the more advanced cyan level 3 resources, purple level 4 resource cards, and red level 5 resource cards.

And the colorful level 6 resource cards!

These unprecedented resource cards that only exist in legends, once they appeared, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room like a magnet.

"How to use it, use it in the territory or other places, trade it or give it as a gift."

"Everything is up to you to decide."

Wei said something very right.

Using external things to strengthen oneself is what humans are best at.

Sometimes, if he is asked to use the resource cards to stay or leave, he will not be able to play their true value because of his high vision.

Since he has made up his mind to be a hands-off boss, Su Mo simply no longer participates in the use of resource cards.

But in the final analysis, even the level 6 resource cards can hardly make him have too many psychological fluctuations today.

When he achieves the status of the domain master of the Giant Mountain Star Domain, he can easily make hundreds or thousands of these things.

Including level 7, level 8, and level 9 resource cards that have never been seen before, and can also trade with extraterritorial gods.

"Then."

Su Mo paused, stood up, and an unprecedented complex look flashed in his eyes.

"After I leave, I'll leave everything to you!"

...

He hurried back to the territory and left in a hurry.

The total time was no more than an hour, and Su Mo was so hurried that he only drank a few sips of hot water during the whole process.

In fact, he could have stayed in the territory tonight, but when he thought that the alien race might have begun to infiltrate, he might be exposed at any time if he stayed in the territory.

Su Mo still left decisively.

However, when he left this time, he did not return to the Giant Stone Territory through the two teleportations included in the game.

Boom.

A thunderbolt flashed in the air, and the power of the B6 layer's delivery swept Su Mo and fell rapidly to the south.

The destination was not somewhere else, but the location of Hulai City, a company that had obtained the qualification for delivery.

The speed of delivery was not comparable to the game delivery.

More than ten minutes later.

The city of Hulai, hidden in the canyon, finally appeared before Su Mo's eyes.

As the sight approached, the outline of the city gradually became clear in the night, revealing an extraordinary momentum.

With the light, you can vaguely see large areas of highly developed industrial areas in the city. Even in the middle of the night, this area is still brightly lit and the machines are roaring, showing a prosperous scene of unmanned and efficient operation.

Dense transport vehicles shuttle back and forth in it, like blood flowing in a huge body, tirelessly transporting materials and supporting the operation of the city, making people curious about what they are producing.

Surrounding this industrial giant city is a solid wall as high as ten meters, like an insurmountable natural moat, isolating the city from the outside world.

The wall stretches along the edge of the city, forming a spectacular circular barrier.

Outside the wall is the area where the survivors live.

According to the level division, every five kilometers is a level. Now such a dividing line has extended outward for nearly a hundred kilometers, forming a circle of residential belts.

"It's really spectacular. If the human territory is like Hu Lai City, what do I have to worry about?"

"It's a pity that it's just an isolated city where you can't go home."

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Although it is very difficult, if you can take down Hu Lai City before the gambling fight, all the corporate technologies stored in it will be emptied.

For the poor earth humans, it is undoubtedly a huge help across the ages!
