Chapter 12 Difficult Initial Construction

Since the Purgatory Sect itself and the Vientiane Palace are at war, the cooperation is almost a matter of smooth sailing without any twists and turns.

Colonel Meryl and others chatted with Shen Yi for six or seven hours before leaving. During this period, Colonel Meryl and the others told Shen Yi some matters that need special attention in the construction of the base.

For example, precautions for the use of some equipment and facilities, some problems that are most likely to be encountered during the development process, and the time and fighting style when the Zerg is most likely to launch an attack.

These suggestions are quite valuable experience, summed up by the senior generals with blood and sweat, Meryl and the others can be said to have dedicated it to the Broken Blade team free of charge.

The most notable of these is the attack time of the Zerg.

The attack of the Zerg is quite methodical. Before any new base is built, it will almost inevitably encounter at least one Zerg attack. The difference is only in the scale and quantity.

The timing of this attack is usually chosen after half of the construction of the new base is completed.

At this time, since the new base has been built more than halfway, it is almost impossible to dismantle it, and at the same time, the defense system is not complete, so every loss caused is real, and many generals are therefore devastated and unable to recover.

Therefore, the first thing that needs to be done in the construction of the new base is the construction of peripheral defense. If a base needs fifteen days to complete, it is best to complete the basic defense within seven to ten days, so as to deal with the first wave of Zerg invasion. As for the construction of energy converters, it is best not to rush to build them at the beginning, as that will only slow down the progress.

This is completely different from playing strategy games before and prioritizing resource acquisition.

Every newly added general is equivalent to entering an ongoing game halfway, and must guard against possible blows at any time.

Therefore, this initial stage can be said to be quite difficult. Some unlucky guys even have to go back and forth for several months to start a new base, while some even more unlucky lose their chance forever.

After accepting the suggestions of Meryl and others, Shen Yi also changed his approach, changed the priority of construction, and first developed defense facilities.

Base defense facilities generally consist of three parts.

The first part is the defense part, which is mainly composed of sentry towers, walls, and energy shields.

The construction of the fence requires an ore smelter, which casts the smelted ore into a large cornerstone of the fence, and finally reinforces it through the system. Reinforcement needs to spend points, each kilometer of wall foundation reinforcement requires 100 points, basic defense power is 50 points, and durability is 10,000 points. It can be upgraded, and each upgrade requires 1,000 points, which increases defense by 15 points, does not increase durability, and can be upgraded to level 50 at most.

The energy shield can place the entire base under the defense of the energy shield. To build an energy defense shield, you need to build an energy transmission tower first. The transmission tower receives energy and releases the shield, which can be used for partition defense. The more energy transmission towers, the finer the partitions. By switching the energy of the area, the energy utilization can be maximized. After all, the energy cover of the non-attack area is open, and it also consumes energy. The Eternal Heart can act on the energy defense cover, but because the energy defense cover is too large, the effect is limited only by the self-contained energy of the Eternal Heart. The supply center that can continuously transform energy is the foundation of support.

It's a pity that this thing is too big to be transferred to the battleship.

The sentry towers belong to the early warning part. Advanced sentry towers can detect the enemy's situation when the Zerg is still outside the atmosphere and issue early warnings. All people standing on the sentry tower can get the vision bonus of the sentry tower, discover the enemy's movement at a super long distance, and be prepared to deal with it. In addition, it also has the function of discovering buried Zerg.

However, the sentry towers have angle restrictions, so it is best to place sentry towers at all corners, and the sentry towers are relatively easy to be destroyed, so it is best to have some spares.

The second part is the attack part, which is mainly composed of turrets, anti-aircraft towers and other auxiliary measures.

Forts must be installed after the construction of the fence is completed. They can be purchased or self-produced. The same is true for anti-aircraft towers, but they can be built in the base. There are many other auxiliary measures, such as thunder arrays, laser traps, etc., which can also be purchased or produced by yourself. Self-production requires the construction of corresponding factories, the collection of resources, and a certain production time.

The third part is the mobile part, which is mainly composed of soldiers, mechs, and various large war machines. They are the main force of base defense, and they are also an important reliance for turning defense into offense, and they are the most expensive part of the three major components. Generally speaking, generals use base vehicles to collect resources, gradually expand the size of the army, and wait until they have a certain strength before launching attacks to compete for larger territories.

Therefore, in terms of mobile arming, generals usually purchase various types of troops provided by the system in the early stage, and then mainly rely on production in the later stage. The red police base vehicle is one of the most popular ones.

But Shen Yi did not choose this series, he chose another path: Skynet.

At the beginning, he took the Skynet system, and now he naturally wants to continue this system.

The Great Universe Project is an upgraded version of the Terminator. The production line of the Terminator can be completely relocated to the simulated world, and the resources here can be used to mass-produce. This also saves the money to buy a base car. After all, the price of a Red Police base car is not cheap .

The force system developed by Skynet is only stronger than the Red Alert system, but not weaker. Terminator soldiers are certainly stronger than ordinary soldiers, and the heavy armor system also has Destroyers.

One Destroyer is certainly a tragedy, but hundreds or thousands of Destroyers are no worse than Apocalypse. Although the double C level is worse, it is not impossible to be promoted to double B level and double A level.

The hunters in the air combat system are stronger than the Red Alert base. The Red Alert is a typical ground powerhouse, but it is much weaker in air combat. Skynet has no disadvantages in this regard, a large number of high-level hunters can completely defeat the Kirov airship.

The most important thing is that the production line of the Skynet system overlaps with the God of War Mecha in many ways. This is the technological enhancement designed by Shen Yi. Of course, he will not design two systems for himself to increase investment.

The only regret is that the super-weapon system cannot be built for special units such as the super-time and space soldiers of the Red Alert system. As a purely technological system, Skynet does not have an advantage in this regard. However, it is not easy for the Red Police base to build these things. Edmund was so arrogant back then, and he still couldn't use many high-tech.

Under Meryl's proposal, the energy supply center, fence, ore smelter, and food production plant were included in the priority construction plan.

Because the base designed by the Broken Blade team has a radiation area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, of which the core base alone covers an area of ​​1,000 square kilometers. Since it is backed by the Platinum Mountains and the wall length is 85 kilometers, such a large-scale infrastructure construction, even with a system The accelerated production capacity is also slightly insufficient, so the Broken Blade team completely abandoned the construction of the six satellite bases, giving priority to the core base, and then implementing the second step of expansion after completing this part.

On the first day of coming to Tianweisi, an energy supply center has been firstly built, followed by a large-scale ore smelting plant, food production plant and some related supporting facilities. Since the equipment is all directly purchased finished products, the factory only needs to be built.

At the same time, the mining team led by Wenrou has also found a mine site under the guidance of Meryl. The ultra-technical large-scale ore excavator started rumblingly, digging out a large amount of metal ore, crushing it, and sending it back. All of it is an assembly line operation. , The convoy kept running back and forth, sending the ore to the smelter for smelting. With the roar of the machine, huge pieces of cast iron were sent out of the base and transported to the designated location.

Each of these large iron bricks used to build the city wall is three times three in size and twenty-seven cubic meters in size. It only needs to be transported to a designated place and stacked up before being reinforced by the system.

The workers are busy almost 24 hours a day. These guys who are also abnormal humans are full of energy. It's fine even if they don't sleep for a few days and nights. But for this, Shen Yi promised to triple the salary.

"I always thought that everything would be settled with only 5,000 yuan, but I didn't expect to have to pay overtime wages." Shen Yi complained helplessly.

"Be content, no one on earth would accept three times the salary to work 24 hours a day." Gentlely smiled.

"Then you might as well say that it is even more unbelievable for these workers to build a steel fence with a width of 15 meters and a height of 30 meters in one day. It takes months to repair a road on Earth."

It only takes more than 16,000 iron bricks to build a one-kilometer wall, and 160,000 pieces to build a ten-kilometer wall. Whether it is casting or construction, the efficiency is astonishingly high.

"It's a pity that even so, we still don't have time to complete all the wall construction." Gentlely shook her head.

A wall of ten kilometers a day is already the limit. This is the result of systematic reinforcement and the participation of a large number of Corps soldiers and terminators in the construction. Further speeding up requires more fleets, more workers, larger smelting plants, larger food production plants, and more other supporting facilities, that is, more points.

The Broken Blade team has strong capital, but their independent base offsets their strong strength, coupled with a relatively high starting point, so the degree of stretch in construction is even more severe than that of ordinary adventurers.

"Leaving the gap to the fortress should solve it."

"What about the energy transmission tower?" Zhou Yiyu came over and asked, "One energy supply center is not enough, but most of the workers have gone to build the fence."

"Give up the defense of the energy shield. There is no large-scale construction in the base, and there are not many things that need to be protected. As long as the defense line does not collapse, all factories can be destroyed and start from scratch." Shen Yi replied that although the energy shield is good, it is Large households that consume energy are like the electric towers in Red Alert, which consume a lot of energy.

If you don't use the energy shield defense, only one supply center can solve the energy supply of several factories.

He was already prepared to suffer losses in the first wave of attacks, so he didn't plan to build a teleportation tower.

Besides, how can there be any buildings in strategy games that are not demolished?

"What about the sentry towers and anti-aircraft towers?"

"Use sentry towers instead of satellites, and use battleships for air defense."

The feature of sentry towers and anti-aircraft towers is that they are cheap, but now that Shen Yi has satellites and warships and lacks workers and time, it is inevitable to replace low-priced ones with high-priced ones.

The energy cover defense, sentry tower and air defense facilities have been cancelled, and the base construction has been fully developed to ground defense.

Shen Yi and the others also threw themselves into the construction work in an all-round way. It was during this period that Shen Yi deeply understood why the generals had time to leave the world, but they all guarded here and dared not leave.

I'm really too busy!

Shen Yi now works with the mirror image clone.

He never thought that the mirror image would have this function, but he had to admit that it was quite effective.

A Terminator production line was completed on the fourth day, and the Destroyer series that was more suitable for positional warfare was produced first. Of course, because the production line was too simple, they were just the most common double C-level Destroyers. Then there are some hunters, which are also low-level products, used to make up for low-altitude defense. In the simulated world, self-production also needs to consume points. Although the price is cheap, the quantity is also considerable. Shen Yi had to borrow another sum from Meryl.

Zhou Yiyu was in charge of borrowing the money. He half-kneeled in front of Meryl holding the flowers purchased with points, as if proposing marriage. He borrowed the money, but he didn't get the chance to kiss Meryl's instep.

A small arsenal was completed on the sixth day, and a large number of mines were produced and buried in the land within two kilometers around the wall. These mines do average damage, but can effectively prevent some Zerg from sneaking up from the ground. Since there are no sentry towers, these Zerg cannot be found, so they can only be replaced by landmines.

When the base construction entered the eighth day, the wall was finally fully constructed. The wall was more than 70 kilometers long, and the gap was covered by the fortress.

The Broken Blade team started to reinforce the wall, and due to limited points, they only went up two levels.

Taking advantage of the Zerg's arrival, Shen Yi asked the workers to dig an air-raid shelter first, so that they could hide in it if a war broke out. These workers are all paid in advance. If they die so that they do not need to pay pensions, they will have to be recruited again, but they will have to pay a large sum of money. Therefore, they need to be carefully protected-this is the conscience of capitalists.

Considering that there is no energy shield to stop the insects attacking from the air, other factories will not be built for the time being, and they will be destroyed anyway.

During the construction period, adventurers from other bases also came to watch the excitement. When they saw that there were only six people on the other side, but the building was so big, most of them felt contemptuous. They congratulated on the surface, left their contact information, and said they called me when they needed help, and then went back. Waiting for the destruction of this base.

Those who have a better conscience are thinking about how to ask for a price when the time comes.

There are also those who have evil intentions and plan to get a vote when the time comes.

Time entered the ninth day, and the long-awaited Zerg attack finally came.

The battleship in the sky sent back an alarm: "Alarm! Alarm! Zerg found, Zerg found, moving towards us, everyone immediately enters a state of combat readiness and prepares to resist!" Kneeling to share
