Chapter 929 Inspection and Strategy Formulation

Walking around the command center, all the officers and soldiers were branded, and the 'Diligence of Duty' BUFF was carried on it.

For Zhao Wenrui, this is the beginning of everything.

But this is a bit dangerous at the beginning, because he lacks four qualified soldiers.

The types of warriors provided by the shining system are relatively rare.

One of the lowest ranks, known as rangers, is female soldiers.

After applying the Shining System, the soldiers and the people are very separated. Only the soldiers have the ability to hunt and kill zombies, and the only thing the people can do is to endure and escape.

This can also be seen as a side effect of accepting the Shining Mind system.

Zhao Wenrui thinks this is a good thing.

Because under normal circumstances, when ordinary people encounter zombies, they will not only escape, but also rise up to resist. One of the three major illusions in life, I can fight back.

From the commander's point of view, Zhao Wenrui would rather they didn't have this enthusiasm. From the mentality, he concentrated his energy and ability on escaping and defending. On the contrary, it was easier to achieve results. For the commander, it was also easier to calculate.

This is the case now. People who have blessed the BUFF of the Shining System will get two special BUFFs in case of danger.

One is called a deadly run. To put it simply, it is the escape of the explosive level.

The other is called Desperate Defense. Relying on the building, it is necessary to carry out tenacious resistance.

The price to be paid for this is the inability to fight. It can be understood that if there is no one to rescue, the former may be able to escape the danger completely by getting rid of the pursuers, while the latter can only be defeated for a long time.

So he needs qualified soldiers very much now, otherwise he can only carry a gun and be the guardian of the entire team.

Fortunately, the starting capital he owned was systematically converted into simple and clear resources, represented by seven items: money, timber, stone, steel, food, energy, and population.

Judging from the current resources, he is allowed to build a barracks, provided that the command center is normatively rebuilt.

In this way,

A lot of stone and steel can be saved.

'boom! ’ The door of the office was pushed open, and it was Jonathan who came in.

"General, I hope you can take back the order to rebuild the bastion. Without a solid camp, we may not be able to survive even one night."

Zhao Wenrui, who was packing his luggage, glanced at Jonathan and said, "There were no zombies visiting last night."

"But that doesn't mean there won't be tonight either."

"But it doesn't mean that there will be tonight."

"you!"

Zhao Wenrui waved his hand, interrupting Jonathan's plan to continue, and said, "Listen, Jonathan, your strategy, at best, is called sophistication, and at worst, it's called retreat tactics."

"You might say that I survived three pioneering operations by relying on this tactic. We can briefly discuss this point."

"First of all, looking at history, this tactic seems to have risen from a tactical point of view to a strategic point of view in the last ten years of pioneering. All commanders think like this: 'I just need to be more cautious than the previous few, don't Reverse the mistakes they made, and you will be successful'. There is nothing wrong with this line of thinking. Human beings are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors, learning lessons from generation to generation, and succeeding one after another, so that the brilliant civilization that followed."

"However, any concept is too much to go too far. If prudence becomes not seeking merit but seeking no fault, then it is not good. It will delay the opportunity of the war."

"Jonathan, we can't just talk about our own reasons and ignore the changes of the enemy. Are you sure you know the action mechanism of the zombies? Do you think the information on the market is always the truth and will not change? Do you think the zombies are gone? Will the intelligent species not be able to make adaptive changes at all? Then please explain why the zombies don't disturb the armored train now?"

"Jonathan, it doesn't sound good to be an expert, but you still regard it as an achievement and a manifestation of ability. I don't object to this. It is indeed a skill that people can't do. What I object to is, Like many people of your age, you no longer have an open mind, no longer look at everything with a learning attitude, but feel that you are an expert and an authority. You are indeed an expert and an authority, but I give you the sentence "live to Let's learn from the old proverbs, let's encourage each other."

Zhao Wenrui finally said: "Go down, I hope you remember that next time you come in, you have to knock on the door first, no matter how urgent your business is. Also, please have some confidence in my IQ. Although I am young, I am not It means that I like to die. Finally, if you are interested, you can pack up your luggage and go for a walk with me later. Time has changed, and you should understand what the zombies are like now. My predecessors were deeply It's a language that despises zombies, I don't know how to do it."

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Wenrui and Jonathan, each carrying an electric three-wheel off-road motorcycle, went south along the railway, then east.

"Don't worry too much, Jonathan. The family did not hesitate to take advantage of favors this time to win me the place of pioneer general. Naturally, they have made some preparations. For example, using the satellites left in the sky by information civilization, even though it is only a part of it And enough to keep me out of the fog of war."

As he spoke, Zhao Wenrui handed Jonathan a steampunk-style imager. On the round and somewhat protruding screen, the background color was green, and the translucent white light grid on it brushed from top to bottom in a regular pattern of light waves. screen, and in the center of the screen, there are two blue dots, and somewhere on the edge there are red dots.

It is easy to understand, this imaging is always centered on the blue dot to display the area situation, the blue dot represents the two of them, and the red dot is the zombie.

Jonathan asked in surprise, "This is the technology of the information age."

"After obtaining the relevant information, it was re-deduced and developed. Although I have done many accuracy tests, I still plan to test it myself."

After speaking, Zhao Wenrui introduced more detailed usage, such as calculating the specific distance through the display.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wenrui set up the tripod, measured the wind speed and humidity, and then shot in a standing manner. The first shot missed the target, and the second shot hit a target 1,200 meters away.

"Come on, Jonathan, try it too. The new sniper rifle. My ancestors had a motto, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon.' It means that if you want to do a good job, you must be as prepared as possible, Tools are an important part of it. I have a lot of good things for this development.”

In fact, Zhao Wenrui is laying the groundwork for the subsequent comprehensive promotion of weapons and equipment that the kingdom is not equipped with, as well as construction technology.

There are three arms in the Shining System, Ranger, Warrior, and Sniper.

Rangers use steam recurve pulley bows, and they are characterized by high camouflage, high speed, and silence. It is suitable for eliminating zombies in small groups without disturbing a large number of zombies.

Of course, it's not absolute. Sometimes annoying the swift and fierce zombies or the more troublesome mad zombies may trigger a zombie riot, or even a small-scale zombie wave.

But as long as it is called "tide", at least the number is more than a thousand. Imagine the students in the next school, after doing exercises between classes, rushing towards a point at a speed of 100 meters, which is basically the effect of a small-scale corpse tide.

The warrior's armor is the most protective. It looks similar to the "human wolf" in the {human wolf} world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the modern usage of plate armor in the cold weapon era.

The weapons they use are pump shotguns, which have relatively strong white soldier combat capabilities and are the main builders of the living defense line.

The sniper uses a bolt-action sniper rifle, which is what Zhao Wenrui used this time. The Son of Thunder series has a lot of movement, great power, and a slow rate of fire. It is mainly used to kill special zombies among the zombies. , such as muscle masters, spit monsters, and flying monsters. It is more laborious to kill these special weapons with ranger and warrior weapons.

"Have you noticed, Jonathan, the swift and fierce zombies mixed in with ordinary zombies. Although they usually walk slowly, their walking posture is more like laziness than powerlessness. There is still a difference between the two, and you can tell them through careful observation." come out."

Jonathan was also obedient and asked, "You mean a small-scale suppression?"

"Yes, piecemeal. Snipers shoot and kill fast corpses. If a small-scale charge is attracted, the firepower network constructed by the soldiers will block them. After these active elements are eliminated, let the rangers hunt and kill them with steam bows and arrows."

"Then what if a small wave of corpses is triggered?"

"A wooden wall, two or three wooden sentry towers, and then let the fast-moving ranger lead the zombies to run around. I have wanted to test this tactic for a long time."

"Run in circles? Can it work?" Jonathan has actually seen a group of zombies chasing a person madly, and more than once, but it has always been in a passive situation.

"Theoretically it is established, but in fact the problem is not very big."

This time Jonathan chose to be silent instead of refuting. In fact, he still felt a little disapproving. After all, this tactic, the one who attracted the zombies, was really risking his life. Is there such a person?

He is not worried about whether the ability can do it. The reason why the Obernin Kingdom can stand still, apart from George's protection at the beginning, is another reason, that is, the "son of the king".

The heirs of the king are not George's descendants, but a group of people who can fully integrate with George's serum to obtain special abilities without side effects.

Among them, the real king and the kings, the kings refer to the fusion with artificial serum, and the real king comes directly from the royal blood.

This is also an important reason why George's direct descendants are still regarded as supreme.

The real princes are basically promoted on the basis of listed princes, with outstanding talents, abilities and contributions.

And even the princes and heirs are not Chinese cabbage, and the entire kingdom has only dozens of people.

It's hard to imagine that such a heroic unit would risk their lives for Zhao Wenrui's circling tactics.

The heir of the king's son is too precious, so he can only use the medicine man.

Yaoren are all serious criminals, and the Kingdom has never stopped trying to crack the super mourning virus, which requires a lot of in vivo experiments, and Yaoren was born under this background.

Medicine people also have physiques that surpass ordinary people, but they are often accompanied by serious side effects, especially those who are mentally unstable. They are double-edged swords. It seems that no one has done it so far if they want to use them like arms.

Zhao Wenrui didn't pay attention to the heirs of the king or the medicine man, but the three main arms of the Shining system, all of which can be understood as biochemical preparations.

First of all, they will not become zombies, which prevents the possibility of chaos.

Secondly, their spirit is different from that of ordinary people. They have undergone transcranial surgery with high-frequency electromagnetic equipment, and snipers will even have part of their temporal lobe removed.

Finally, their physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, and the specific direction of strengthening varies according to the characteristics of the arms.

To some extent, the soldiers of the shining system are consumables.

But to understand it from another angle, it is a manifestation of cherishing, because according to the explanation of the shining system, the system follows the route of elite soldiers, and the number of soldiers does not need to be thousands to deal with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of zombies.

Of course, if it is really more than 100,000, the main force of the battle will no longer be soldiers, but weapons.

For example, the shock tower can kill zombies in a wide range.

But this kind of weapon is not effective against special zombies. Not only is it more resistant to special zombies, but also because their internal structure is different from ordinary zombies. The shock wave frequency modulation is specially performed for them, and the cost performance is very low. And the 'adjustable frequency' design will complicate the weapon, making it more difficult to maintain and easier to damage.

Therefore, other weapons are needed to attack special zombies, and the shock wave tower is used to deal with a large number of ordinary zombies.

In other words, a combination of sniper watchtower, shock tower, and high wall is a very good combination.

But it is not easy to establish such a line of defense. It is necessary to climb the technology tree of the Shining System, and resources must be calculated according to the conversion mechanism of the Shining System.

What Zhao Wenrui is considering now is the more elementary defensive methods and tactics used in the initial stage.

After completing the observation and some simple test items, Zhao Wenrui and Jonathan confirmed the distribution of minerals in the Xiazang Jingu area.

This distribution of minerals is also identified according to the specification of the shining system. For example, there are abundant forests and many rocks here, forming a natural barrier. However, these rocks are not classified as minerals according to the rules of the Shining System.

There is only one real mine, in the west of the entire region.

Zhao Wenrui knew that the place had to be cleared out as soon as possible and production started, otherwise there would not be enough facilities, and he would not be able to handle the wave of corpses after 15 days.

After inspecting the mine, the two went north again. The principle along the way was to explore deeply if there were no zombies, and try not to provoke them as much as possible. In this way, the invisible boundary was slowly outlined.

Some places go straight to the bottom, such as the exit of Zangjin Valley in the west, where the valley is narrow and long, with steep mountains and a length of more than a thousand meters. It is a natural danger that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the north, the situation is not very optimistic. Just north of the corner where the train turned from east to west to north to south, there was a gap more than 200 meters wide. Zhao Wenrui used a detector to peek inside, and the screen was densely packed with red dots.

According to preliminary estimates, there is a connected valley second only to the valley where the command center is located.

Jonathan thought it would be OK to keep the gap of 200 meters.

Zhao Wenrui disagreed with this approach. Because he has a key piece of information prompted by the shining system - 16 days later, the tide of corpses will come from the north.

This means that this direction is the main exit to the outside world, and this outside world refers to the one with a large number of zombies.

Under such a background, if the gap is guarded and the defense line of the gap is forced, there is absolutely no room for slowing down.

In addition, since there are plenty of zombies in this direction, the issue of circulation must be considered.

It is very likely that at some point, a small group of fishing zombies will appear.

Moreover, this kind of circulation will also lead to small-scale zombie riots, which is the same as water drops into water, and then ripples appear.

In general, this direction is a living spot for zombies, so it is the focus of defense.

But the other side of the steel bridge that Jonathan was thinking about was not so dangerous.

It has to be said that Zhao Wenrui would have focused on guarding the bridge if there were no prompts from the Shining System.

Because the train was traveling all the way, I saw a lot of zombies along the way, and even the land seemed to be poisoned, giving the visual impact of the human nest.

And not far after crossing the bridge is a nearly 90-degree turn, so the train often starts to slow down before approaching the bridge.

Lacking speed, it is easier to be blocked by zombie cars or even blocked, so the control of the bridge and the surrounding area can be said to be the guarantee of retreat. The trains came one after another, and it was easier to lead the zombies to the valley from this direction. So anyone with a little brain can see the importance and danger here.

But now, Zhao Wenrui has a bolder plan. Since the other side of the seemingly precipitous bridge is actually a death spot for zombies, like stagnant water that lacks circulation, if you are careful, there will only be slight waves, so why don't you organize a battle force? How about completely eradicating the zombies on the other side of the steel bridge?

Once the cleanup is done, the benefits are of course many.

For example, the safety of this section of the railway line is guaranteed, there is more room for detours, and there may be mines.

And when the tide of corpses from the north goes south, there is no possibility of this side responding and becoming another offensive force.

With this kind of thinking, Zhao Wenrui re-drafted the core strategy, and changed it to all-out suppression, division and elimination. Instead of waiting for the tide of corpses to occur, all the zombies in the nearby area will go crazy. In that case, it will be difficult to hold back with the defense of the new stronghold.

The two ate some dry food at noon to deal with it. When they returned to the command center, it was already sunset.

With the dim light, one can see the changed command center and the barracks standing on the ground.

Jonathan was surprised: "What did you promise them to make these people so motivated?"

Zhao Wenrui smiled, did not respond, and said in his heart: "Where is this going? The construction speed that shocked your eyeballs is still behind. As long as resources are not stuck, the engineers will definitely be able to stop work and learn from efficiency." model."

Backed by the Shining System, Zhao Wenrui dared to let go of his hands and feet. Not long after he returned to the command center, he exhausted almost all resources in one go.

He almost frantically built a large number of camps in the East District (divided by the north-south railway tracks) until all the food and funds were exhausted.

According to the regulations of the Shining System, every time a tent is built, a part of the food must be allocated. This part of the food is divided into production capacity, not the total amount. Production capacity means continuous loss, and so much is lost every day. Funds are the expenses used to build the tent.

Camps provide population and benefits. This benefit is abstract. It is replaced by the concept of money in the shining system for the convenience of accounting. A tent provides a total population of 4, an available population of 2, and 8 gold per round (3 rounds per day ), consumes 4 food production capacity and 1 energy.

What's more troublesome is that the real population is transported by train, and there is only one train per day.

Therefore, how to plan and use resources, when to build more tents, or upgrade tents has become a matter worth considering, and it can even be said to be the key to success or failure.

This is obviously designed by C Kane on purpose. His human avatar naturally cannot forget the basics of farming and development, and it will not work if he is not proficient.

Therefore, it is very harsh. The construction of facilities is closely related to the production of various resources. Without planning, there will often be a situation of waiting for the rice to be cooked, scratching your head, but there is no way to do it.

Since the Shining system provides a settlement system every 8 hours (only money), Zhao Wenrui had to take the initiative to adapt. When he asked himself, he could use the Shining system to accurately control the overall battle-based situation at any time, and try to make money as much as possible. When it is in place, spend it as soon as possible.

In this way, others do it at home, but the workload is very heavy.

To give a specific example, it takes time to build a soldier in the barracks, and you can pay up to 5 soldiers at a time.

But if this is done, there is no need to pay attention to the barracks from time to time, but there will be a backlog in payment.

A ranger occupies 1 available population unit, consumes 2 wood, and 120 gold at a time. A camp can only produce 24 gold in one day, and it takes 5 camps a day's tax to pay back the cost of producing a ranger.

Producing 5 people at a time is equivalent to putting 480 gold into it. If the money is diverted to other places first, such as building more tents, will it be the most profitable?

Obviously yes, but training rangers is also very urgent, which requires the controller to calculate the time required for training rangers, just as one ranger has been trained, and the cost of training the next ranger has already been charged. This will not have a window period, which will delay the overall speed of ranger training.

For another example, the production settlement of mines and lumberyards starts from the moment they are built. Generally speaking, the cycle is fixed and the corresponding resources are produced. Then when will the production be stopped and the relevant personnel and energy will be transferred to other There is also a saying that if a new round of resources is about to be produced, if you choose to stop production, it will cause a waste of personnel and energy. economy.

It can be said that in the same period of time, a commander who can save on details can increase the overall economy by one-third. After all, money can make money. With one more tent, you can earn 240 more gold in 10 days. The cost of two rangers comes out. With these two rangers, maybe the firepower is enough to deal with a certain operation without damage, benign Loop achieved...

Correspondingly, the commander should put more alarm clocks in his head to remind him when it is time to order, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

This kind of hands-on approach is prone to early and sudden death, just like the legendary Zhuge Wuhou.

But at the beginning of his life, Zhao Wenrui had no choice.

Winners and losers, usually be a little bit harder on yourself, it is nothing more than seeking success, winning and survival. Although these demands have never been made public, it is absolutely unambiguous to do related things in detail.

That's how Zhao Wenrui joined the reincarnation system back then. He worked hard and tried his best to put every power into use as much as possible.

It's just that Zhao Wenrui started at a higher level now, so he didn't start as a scout, but was already a commander. He adapted quickly and entered the role without much effort.

C Kane, who was secretly observing, felt that at least the core route chosen by the deity for his life was fine. He is indeed talented in farming and commanding, but not the type who is good at individual fighting and fighting for the front line.

After training two rangers, Zhao Wenrui ordered them to go overnight to wipe out the zombies. The target was the small group near the only mining area in Hidden Gold Valley.

Even with long-term hunger and severe physical decline, ordinary zombies can still run at the same speed as ordinary adults, unless their limbs are damaged.

However, such zombies are hardly a threat to the ranger. As long as there is enough space, a larger number can kill the kite.

Therefore, Zhao Wenrui watched the battle from the perspective of a god, mainly not because he was worried that the rangers would be in danger of their lives, but because he wanted to verify the feasibility of running circles in detail.

To prove it is feasible, it is first necessary to determine the hunting mechanism of the zombies and how to stabilize the hatred.

As it turns out, zombies are indeed attracted to the closest target, as long as it isn't drawn to it for other reasons.

If it has already been attracted, such as being shot with an arrow, and the zombie has already determined which one shot it, then simply approaching it will not take away the hatred.

Here, there is also the concept of a blind obedience mechanism.

To put it simply, the ones behind all follow the example of the one in the front, and those around follow the one who moved first, and the powerful zombies have the priority to become the leader.

This also means that if there is a swift corpse in a crowd, it is not the first to be disturbed, but it is faster and more will come out soon. At this time, if it is shot by an arrow If the pursuit target is changed, the zombies behind it will follow it to change the pursuit target.

In such a situation, if the blows from the side want to re-affect them and change their targets, two elements need to be met, first, the distance is close enough, and second, the damage is high enough. Otherwise, even if it is injured, the original intention will not change, unless the target is dead.

These factors have become the details that need to be paid attention to in the circle tactics, and since the scene is relatively chaotic once the battle starts, it is impossible for the rangers to grasp every detail, and he can only be reminded by the commander , because as a commander, he has a talent skill called Time Slowdown.

In fact, this is a kind of effect achieved by secreting dopamine, exciting the brain and having a stronger information processing ability, not that time really slows down.

With this move, he was able to command the frontline troops and perform some tactical miracles. The disadvantage is still the same. If you think hard, you are prone to sudden death and early death.

But for a person whose failure is tantamount to being sentenced to death, sudden death and early death appear to be mild and slow, and death at any time is the most important concern at present.
