Volume 20, Chapter 206: Three Steps of Confusion
That was of course meant to shock.
Our guild has indeed been upgrading the Mobile Angels recently. The three Mobile Angels in front of us are indeed the latest fifth-generation Mobile Angels. We even have several other types of fifth-generation Mobile Angels that have not yet appeared. However, none of this can change the fact that the mobile angels of our guild cannot complete the change of clothes in an instant. When the old mobile Angels are withdrawn from active service, they need to change defenses step by step. It is actually very dangerous to make large-scale defense changes during this period of frequent battles. Secondly, as the technology of Mobile Angels continues to advance, although our Mobile Angels are becoming more and more powerful, the cost and production cycle are also rising.
Think about the jointless rock golem that our guild made in the past. It was just a pile of mud carved with magic circles and some magic guidance materials added. Excluding the labor cost, the cost of each one was less than two thousand crystal coins, and one A golem maker can make one in just half a day without using any advanced tools. This is really not a long time. But what now? Let’s not talk about the fifth generation Mobile Angel. The universal model among the fourth-generation mobile Angels with the most equipment at present, it is the flying land combat type Exciting Angel. The body of this type of mobile angel is completely made of reinforced alloy. The main part is steel, and a lot of magic metal is also mixed in. In order to achieve some functional characteristics, the body surface of the mobile angel must also use many kinds of magic. Crystals and magic gems, you have to know that the prices of these things have never been low. In fact, this is not the most expensive thing. The real trouble is the internal structure. Even if the investment in research and development funds is not taken into account, the price of the core system of a fourth-generation mobile angel is definitely not less than 100,000 crystal coins. Including the shell and other messy configurations, the material cost of a fourth-generation Mobile Angel is approaching the 150,000 crystal coin mark without considering R&D expenses and labor. If the design and R&D costs are also included, the price will reach 200,000 crystal coins, plus manufacturing labor and machine losses as well as energy usage fees. The actual cost of a fourth-generation mobile Angel should be around 210,000 crystal coins.
Two hundred and ten thousand crystal coins is a drop in the bucket for our guild, but if you want to form a combat effectiveness, you can't just build one. Although as production volume increases, average costs will continue to decrease. But this decline is also limited. At least the average cost of our guild has never been less than 200,000 crystal coins. At this price, as long as we build a thousand fourth-generation mobile angels, it will cost more than 200 million, and the actual number of fourth-generation mobile angels in our guild is far more than this number. But it is several times this number, which means that we have thrown in at least more than one billion crystal coins in this regard.
Such an expensive thing is only a fourth-generation machine, and the price of the current fifth-generation machine has jumped a lot. Therefore, we have no way to mass-produce it now and can only produce a small number of experimental models. In the future, we will consider whether to replenish the aircraft according to the actual battle damage situation. It is initially estimated that the strategy of replacing one missing one with one replacement will be followed. That is, for every fourth-generation aircraft lost, a fifth-generation aircraft will be produced to replace it. In this way, after a period of fighting, the aircraft will be replaced. We can gradually replace some of the fourth-generation machines. As for the remaining fourth-generation machines, we have no plans to replace them all.
Although the combat effectiveness of the fourth-generation aircraft is not as good as that of the fifth-generation aircraft, it is completely sufficient for now. Just like in a rich country, it is impossible for soldiers all over the country to carry rocket launchers on the battlefield. Low-power and cheap weapons such as rifles are always necessary. The same goes for Mobile Angel. The combat effectiveness of fifth-generation aircraft is indeed very high. Just like Special Forces. But if all the fourth-generation aircraft in the entire guild are replaced by fifth-generation aircraft, this would be a bit exaggerated. In reality, there is no country where all the ordinary soldiers are not in the special operations team? Therefore, even if fifth-generation aircraft are mass-produced in the future, they will only be used as the backbone, just like special units on the battlefield mixed with ordinary soldiers to fight. All mobile angels on the battlefield will not be replaced by fifth-generation aircraft. That's too exaggerated, and the efficiency improvement won't be too obvious.
Precisely because we have no intention of mass-producing Mobile Angels. So we don't need to hide this mobile angel at all, because this can deceive the enemy twice in a row. First we show our fifth generation mobile Angel. Then let the Frozen Banshee spread the powerful combat power of this mobile angel, so that our enemies will be afraid. Will panic. Afterwards, they will have several reactions. The first is to lose confidence and sink completely. The second is to launch many dangerous plans, that is, to force development. Such results usually have the opposite effect. When the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony, the Americans deliberately came up with a fake Star Wars plan. The result was that the Soviets were frightened and desperately followed suit to develop space weapons. The final result was that the investment was too large, which caused a huge additional burden on the country, and because The technical conditions at that time did not actually have the basic conditions for such research, so no matter how much investment was made, it was in vain. Apart from creating a bunch of marginal technologies that were temporarily unused, it could be said that there was no practical anything at all. Such leap-forward research is actually meaningless except for wasting people and money. It is purely because I am unhappy with myself.
We now hope that the Russians and other guilds that are in a hostile relationship with us or are hostile to us will be nervous, so that they may enter a state of advanced research like the Soviet Union back then, which will actually slow down their own development. .
In actual games, in addition to advanced research, there are also similar situations such as excessive challenges. For example, for some difficult tasks, under normal circumstances everyone knows that they are too difficult and will not take the risk to try them. Instead, they hope to wait until their strength has improved enough to ensure safety before doing them. However, due to the stimulation of our guild, these guilds that are hostile to us may lose their cool because of our existence. Many people will take risks and try some tasks that are beyond their ability. The result is that the gain outweighs the loss, and those who fail the task lose their jobs. Level, loss of investment such as medicines and a large amount of task time will seriously affect the development of a guild. Therefore, if we over-express our strength, it can actually easily cause the enemy to panic and lead to misjudgment.
Of course, although in most cases our actions will bring results that are beneficial to us, special circumstances cannot be ruled out. For example, when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for hegemony, if the Americans came up with a fake plan and the Soviets took it seriously and actually came up with a practical space warfare system, then the Americans would have shot themselves in the foot, because the United States At that time, people did not have any space warfare capabilities, and the Soviets suddenly developed a space weapon. Americans can only wait to be bombed, because strategic balance no longer exists. But, like what actually happened in the end. The probability of such an accident happening is really very low and almost impossible to happen.
Those guilds will misjudge the strength of our guild from the information sent by the Frozen Banshee, and thus choose to take risks to develop their own strength. It is indeed possible for them to complete some tasks that are beyond their capabilities that they would not dare to take on, but how much benefit can one or two people bring to the task? In order to catch up with us, they must constantly challenge these extreme tasks. If a person jumps directly from a tall building without any protection, there is indeed a certain probability that he will not die. But if you jump three times a day for a month and still survive, then you are definitely experiencing a supernatural event. Even if these guilds can complete several tasks that are beyond their level, it is impossible to complete them all. As long as their completion ratio does not reach one-third of the total tasks, then the losses will definitely be more than the investment, but in reality. Even if you are lucky enough to complete some extremely difficult tasks, the total ratio usually does not exceed one percent, let alone one-third.
It is for this reason that we deliberately arranged this display to let the Frozen Banshee experience for themselves the powerful strength of our guild's fifth-generation mobile angels. At that time, let the guilds that are against us work hard for this kind of mobile angel that even we can't mass-produce, and we will just sit at home and wait to watch the joke.
Although this plan is already very vicious, this is not all of the plan. This plan comes from roses. And just like the evaluation given by gold coins. Rose's plan is never the most poisonous, only more poisonous.
Although the fifth generation mobile angels have been completed, we will not let them appear in public soon in subsequent battles, and there will be a limit. We will only fight when we are sure that they will not be exposed. The advantage of this is that the enemy will only hear about the existence of such a mobile angel, but never see it, and wait until those guilds pay the price for it. We then use the fifth-generation Mobile Angel as a gimmick to usurp the interests of those guilds everywhere in an empty city strategy. You can definitely get some benefits in the early stages. Those guilds in the later period will inevitably resist, and once they resist, they will realize that the fifth generation mobile angels of our guild do not exist at all. Because we have never shown this kind of mobile angel in front of them. The only source of this news was the Frozen Banshee. The guilds that have suffered a loss will speculate that we do not have fifth-generation mobile angels at all, and the news about the Frozen Banshee will be accused of being false news, thereby reducing the trust of the Frozen Banshee among the guilds that are hostile to us. This is equivalent to separating the Frozen Banshees from the camps of the guilds that are hostile to us.
Actually getting here is the completion of the second step of the plan. The first step is to intimidate those guilds, put pressure on them, and force them to take risks and bear the losses of failure. The second step is to split the hostile forces. Even if they realize that this is our conspiracy in the future, they will not be able to cooperate as before. I suspect that this kind of thing is just like a weed. Once it takes root, it's not that easy to get rid of.
As for the third part of the plan, this part is relatively simple. When the Frozen Banshee has a problem with those guilds, and those guilds think that there are no fifth-generation mobile angels at all, we can use this situation to choose the most valuable target and send out all the fifth-generation mobile angels at once. Give them full exposure. By the time those guilds see the fifth-generation Mobile Angel and realize that they have been tricked, we have already reaped enough benefits, and they will have nothing to gain but regret.
Seeing the frozen banshee confronting three fifth-generation mobile angels, Hongyue smiled happily. After this battle, the plan called the Three Steps of Confusion will be officially launched. As for how much damage we can cause to those who are hostile to us in the end, it depends on their luck. To be continued. .
