Chapter 7 Steel Fortress
In the Beast Valley in the third area of the Wilderness East, a pentagram array composed of five energy pillars is slowly rotating, flashing a strange red light from time to time. -_
A fortress cannon is gradually appearing in the energy black hole above the teleportation array, revealing its huge volume at a slow speed.
Not far from the energy transmission array, stood Shen Yi and King Kong.
King Kong's brows were tightly frowned, his face looked very ugly, and he had to check the time from time to time.
"It's been ten minutes... Damn, why is the transmission so slow?"
"The flow of time is different. Most of the energy of the teleportation array is used to stabilize the time. As a result, not only the speed of teleportation is slow, but also the energy consumed is greatly increased." Shen Yi said lightly, and casually threw another energy block at the teleportation array go in.
After getting the supplement of energy blocks, the originally unstable red light suddenly flourished, and even the fortress cannon appeared a little faster, and finally completely appeared beside Shen Yi.
"Huh." Shen Yi let out a long breath.
Anyway, at least his guess about the teleportation array was correct.
This thing can indeed take the inanimate objects of the home world out of the world, and this is where its greatest value lies. Its existence is equivalent to countless appraisal scrolls, and it can freely use the power of an entire world for its own use.
It's just that the bloody city obviously never gives people the loophole to spend money unrestrainedly, and the teleportation array also has its own limitations, that is, a lot of time and energy consumption.
When Wen Wen and the others pushed a fortress cannon into the positioning point in the home world, it took ten times as long for Shen Yi in the wilderness valley to receive it. Energy source to keep it running.
The reason why they chose the wilderness as the receiving point was mainly because Shen Yi and the others did not intend to let anyone know the secret of the teleportation array. Fortunately, the wilderness and the city are a whole, but they are separated artificially, and it doesn't matter where they are accepted.
But with this mission, Shen Yi couldn't even think about receiving goods from the home world in the mission world—that would double the time flow change, and the consumed energy would no longer be added but multiplied.
Seeing the fortress cannon being teleported at this moment, Shen Yi took out a piece of paper, wrote down the receipt of the gift and all relevant data on it, and then threw the iron piece back into the teleportation array, asking them to continue teleporting.
Since the teleportation array can transfer things from the home world, it can naturally transfer items from the wilderness back. Since there is no communication between the home world and the wilderness, Shen Yi adopted this method.
However, the time flow of the home world is ten times faster than that of the wilderness, so the waiting time there is actually longer. It is estimated that it will be at least two hours after receiving this news.
The energy consumed by the transmission of the paper was not much, and the response of receiving the message came from the opposite side very quickly, and another fortress cannon slowly emerged in the energy black hole, and the energy array soon showed signs of energy instability, Shen Yi once again Throw an energy source at the energy array.
"Looking at this, the greater the mass of the transmitted target, the more energy it consumes, so it's not much different from the appraisal scroll." Shen Yi estimated.
"Wouldn't that be useless." King Kong said heartbroken as he saw Shen Yi pouring energy sources into the teleportation array like he didn't want money.
It's all money!
It was originally intended to be used to supply energy cannon fire, but I didn't expect to fill the bottomless pit of the energy array before it was officially used.
"I can't even say that." Shen Yi laughed: "At least the energy source is cheaper than the identification scroll, and most importantly, the energy source can be bought in the store."
Energy sources can be bought directly in urban stores, but the price is three times more expensive than buying from secret stores. A C-level energy source costs 2,700 points.
But even so, the energy source is much cheaper than the appraisal scroll - a C-level appraisal scroll can't be bought for 2,700 points, even in secret shops.
What's more, a C-level energy source can transmit far more than a C-level mechanical equipment.
In the past, Shen Yi and the others couldn't buy appraisal scrolls even if they had money, but now with this teleportation array, at least the need for appraisal scrolls is greatly reduced. It can be said that the existence of the teleportation array reduced Shen Yi's need for identification scrolls by more than half, solved a crucial channel problem, and greatly relieved Shen Yi's pressure.
"That's right, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and many things can't be thought of too well after all." King Kong nodded and admitted.
"You feel bad? I already feel good."
"Huh? You don't seem like such an easy-to-satisfy person." King Kong was very surprised.
Shen Yi rolled his eyes at him: "Am I so greedy?"
King Kong replied sincerely: "You have always been."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, but there were more and more fortress artillery and a large number of machine soldiers sent from the home world.
When the last energy source was used up, the teleportation array finally couldn't support it. Shen Yi notified Wen Rou that the teleportation was over. Fortunately, all the things they needed were basically teleported during this time. Occasionally, there are one or two items that cannot be delivered, which can be resolved with the identification scroll.
Ruan Rou and the others will not enter the wilderness until their stay in the home world is over, so Shen Yi and King Kong are not idle during this period, directing the machine warriors to start the construction of the fortress.
According to the plan, this fortress will be their most important stronghold in the wilderness in the future. After going in and out of the wilderness, everyone will have a comfortable nest, and they will no longer have to sleep in the open air every day. When they are not there, the robot soldiers staying at the stronghold can also help them kill some common beasts, helping them increase a lot of income.
Of course, the most important thing is that having a stronghold is equivalent to having a safe fortress. In the future, even if they encounter difficult adventurers in the wilderness, Shen Yi and the others don't have to rush to flee, and they can stick to it to avoid wasting precious number of times into the wilderness. If you encounter a more powerful beast, you can also destroy it with the strong firepower of the fortress.
In Shen Yi's mind, no one knows when Zerg invasion will happen again in the future. At that time, Shen Yi doesn't have a second Eye of Hades to save his life. Therefore, he urgently needs to build his own last means of defense.
In order to achieve this purpose, the entire fortress is designed into two parts, namely the castle type and the self-propelled type.
The so-called castle style is an immovable fortress built on the basis of the original castle. Outside is a city wall built of steel, up to sixteen meters high. Even adventurers with four or five difficulty levels may not be able to jump up to this height.
Since it was built on the back of the mountain, the castle occupies a small area, and the length of the city wall around the castle is only about 90 meters. Every one meter is guarded by a T850, and every ten meters is a C-class fortress gun.
The castle has a total of three layers of walls, the inner layer is higher than the outer layer, and the lengths are 90 meters, 60 meters and 30 meters respectively. A total of 18 fortress guns have been laid, and they are connected by the central computer delivered. Unified fire, a typical modern medieval defense system, is the best way to deal with the human existence of adventurers. Looking at ancient and modern times, it is estimated that there is no second such defense system.
In addition to eighteen fortress guns and one hundred and eighty Terminator robots, the fortress will also install a large number of anti-aircraft firepower and energy shield defense systems in the future, completely turning it into a security barrier in the wilderness.
As for the self-propelled type, a mobile steel fortress is built at the core of the castle. This self-propelled fortress is roughly equivalent to nine tanks arranged in a three-three formation, and its height is equivalent to the superposition of three tanks. The outer layer of alloy is about one meter thick, and can accommodate nine fortress guns and forty mechanical soldiers. to attack or retreat.
With such an armed force, the weight of this self-propelled steel fortress has reached a record-breaking three thousand tons. Fortunately, the land in the wilderness is hard enough, otherwise the crawler would not be able to solve its movement problem. The motivation needed to drive such a fortress alone is as high as 36,000 points, and it needs to consume a large amount of energy sources. Of course, its power is also unparalleled. According to Shen Yi's calculation, if the fortress can be completed, it is considered to be against the general. They also have a certainty of fighting.
Although these cannot be completed in a short period of time, for the Broken Blade team, at least completing such a fortress is much easier and simpler than building a space battleship.
In particular, a lot of preparatory work has been done before, and the work is done by tireless robots, so the progress of the castle construction is far ahead of schedule. At the beginning of the design, a large number of alloy blocks were manufactured into a pattern that can be assembled and combined, making the construction of the castle look more like building blocks. Due to the characteristics of the wilderness land, even the foundation did not need to be drilled too deep, so that in just two days, the castle had already taken shape.
When Gentle and the others left their home world and rushed here into the wilderness, what they saw was a steel city with a basic skeleton.
"Wow, look at this, the castle can be built this month, and it can be fully completed in two months at most... The progress is much faster than expected." Gentle looked at the busy mechanical soldiers and the step-by-step building The tall city walls exclaimed joyfully.
"There must be some good news." Hong Lang pouted.
"Then this is not the best." Gentle said.
Shen Yi asked: "Is there any better news?"
"Of course, the scale of the home base has already taken shape thanks to our massive investment, and it is estimated that it will be officially put into production soon." Gentle replied.
"Great!" Shen Yi and King Kong clenched their fists at the same time.
After investing a lot of energy and time, and spending nearly three million blood points, the technological base of this era finally showed a glimmer of dawn.
Perhaps it was also because of this that the construction of the castle went so smoothly—after all, for a super base aimed at manufacturing space battleships, a small steel fortress was nothing more than a small test.
When Shen Yi started the big universe project, almost all members of the Broken Blade team opposed it. But now the facts are starting to prove him right.
This does not refer to warships, but refers to the by-products produced in the process of this technology development itself, which is enough to bring huge benefits to the Broken Blade team, and is enough to make up for the massive investment and consumption of the Broken Blade team.
Of course, manufacturing the battleship itself still requires a lot of investment, but for the Broken Blade team, the most difficult initial stage has passed, and the bright future is no longer far away.
"Okay, but now is not the time to relax, there are still a lot of things to do." Shen Yi clapped his hands and said: "Frost, you take your soldiers to stay here as supervisors, and urge those mechanical soldiers to continue building. Others follow me, it’s time to hunt in the wilderness again, this time the action will last for 18 days, Bumblebee, you haven’t really seen what the wilderness looks like? I believe you will like it. Hera, in the wilderness there are Endless battles are waiting for us. Do you want to prove yourself? Show me your strength. How about we compare this time to see who gets more profit?"
"I won't lose to you!" Hera retorted angrily.
"You're being tricked by him, dear," said Bumblebee. "He wants you to work hard for him."
"So what? I will prove that I am stronger than him and you..."
Bumblebee was very dissatisfied: "Even in the world of Cybertron, women have no more status than men. You disgusting feminist!"
"If you dare to say that again, be careful and I will beat you!" Hera shouted with wide eyes.
"Come on, do you really think I'm afraid of you little bitch?" Bumblebee called back rudely.
Going back to fighting, seeing that Shen Yi and the others had already left the valley in a car, the two Transformers transformed at the same time and drove out of the valley, but the loudspeakers were still making noise all the way, but they didn't really do anything.
With a large number of mechanical warriors, two powerful Transformers, and the guidance of satellites, the Broken Blade team is still at ease even in the wilderness of the third east area. They can always avoid dangerous areas or people that they cannot deal with temporarily, and at the same time find hunting targets that can be dealt with in the shortest time.
Eighteen days passed quickly, and the Broken Blade team returned to the city with a large amount of income, and continued to throw this investment into the bottomless pit of the home base, and by the way supplemented the previous loss of energy sources.
Next, all they have to do is prepare to enter the quest world of Warcraft.
At this time, there are still three days before this day arrives.
