Chapter 191 Difficulties in Elf City
Although our guild does not have any major events at present, it can be said that there are constant events, because on the one hand we are currently in a state of brief exchange of fire with Russian players, and on the other hand, there is also the threat from the Japanese Yamata no Orochi. Although these two matters do not require us to send troops directly, they are all hidden dangers. We need to ensure sufficient standing troops to deal with emergencies. But now we need to build cities, so there will be a certain degree of vacancies in our troops. It would be okay if the location where the city was built was not dangerous, but it happened that the city that needed to be built this time was located in the tropical rain forest of South America. Even in reality, the Amazon jungle is a very dangerous place, let alone in a game where the bigger the forest, the more powerful the monsters.
Although the current military strength is somewhat stretched, this matter cannot wait forever. The invasion of Yamata no Orochi and the problem in Russia are both unresolved matters, and it is not certain that they will definitely happen, and we don’t know exactly when this may happen, so if we just wait like this, it will be completely wrong. We gave up the initiative because we don’t know whether the threats from Japan and Russia will actually happen.
After struggling for a long time, I finally decided to discuss it with people in the guild. After all, this is a big deal. I can't just make a decision by myself, I have to think about it carefully.
Due to the Yamata no Orochi's invasion of Essinger, all the high-level officials in the guild have returned recently, and most of the main force of the guild have returned to standby. Therefore, when I called for a meeting, everyone came very quickly.
After everyone sat down in the conference room, of course we couldn't just discuss urban construction issues. If it was just such a small matter, I would ask it directly in the training channel. The reason why everyone came here in a hurry was to discuss the issue of Russia and Japan. reason.
After everyone sat down, I first asked Rose to report on the recent operation of the guild. The conclusion was that the strength of the guild was steadily increasing, and it had just entered a stage of violent troops recently, and was currently fully replacing the fourth-generation mobile angels. , and some new guild equipment has been put in place one after another, the most important of which is that our guild’s flying fleet has now officially begun production.
Since the Fox Little Strawberry Solar Furnace technology was completed, this is the first time that the guild has truly solved the technical problem of the spacecraft. Previously, our guild had a total of two types of flight technologies, one of which was a gravity resistance device purchased from the Iron Crusaders. The advantages of this device are high lift, low energy consumption, and stable operation. But the disadvantage of this thing is also obvious, that is, it cannot move horizontally after it is started. Although this defect was later partially circumvented by using a crawler transmission device to allow multiple anti-gravity devices to work alternately, this technology is still only suitable for use in ultra-large aerial units such as Essinger Mobile Fortress, and is not suitable at all for requiring maneuverability. flying unit.
The main reason why Essinger Mobile Fortress dares to use counter-power devices is that it is a fortress, and its defense construction method is to withstand enemy attacks from the front. In other words, from the initial construction stage, Essinger had no hope of being able to dodge enemy attacks, and its huge size and special construction materials that spared no effort also determined that it had the ability to resist any enemy attacks head-on without being overwhelmed. It was photographed from the sky within a few seconds. However, Essinger Mobile Fortress is a special case. It is impossible for most flying units to be as invulnerable as a turtle shell. Normal flying units should still focus on speed and flexibility.
Because normal flying units require speed, gravity resistance devices are only suitable for large flying units that do not require maneuverability. However, our guild does have another method of flight power, which is also very suitable for highly maneuverable units. Require. However, this well-known flying technology has a huge problem - energy consumption.
Our second flight technology is actually the simplest jet engine. Of course, what our guild produces is not the jet engine that uses fuel to achieve the jet effect in reality, but another type of jet engine. It can be said that our jet engine is similar to the internal duct structure scroll shoulder engine used in civil aviation equipment. The power output of this engine is not as violent as a jet engine, but the advantage is that the output is stable and the production difficulty is relatively much smaller.
The engine technology currently used by the guild is mainly used for small flying units such as mobile angels, and we also have some flying units like fixed-wing aircraft equipped with this engine.
However, so far, mobile angels are mainly using this kind of technology, and we have almost no development in the area of aircraft.
Although jet fighters in reality are very powerful, if you understand the air combat in the game world, you will find that even if we can completely copy the jet fighters in reality into the game, after such things come in, they will only be abused. ’s share.
In reality, aircraft need to attack enemy aircraft and ground or water targets that are almost stationary relative to the speed of the aircraft. But the real thing in the game is not airplanes, but flying creatures. Those Warcraft and the like may not be as fast as jet aircraft, but their flexibility is indeed more than ten blocks ahead of jet aircraft. The turning radius of a jet fighter often reaches several kilometers, and it takes half a day to turn around. Those flying monsters can turn on the spot, fly sideways, upside down, and even somersault in the sky. Vortexes and cyclones are the Achilles heel of jet fighters, but they are no problem to those Warcraft. Therefore, in the game, even if there are fighter jets, their flying ability is no match for Warcraft.
In fact, even if jet planes have stronger flying capabilities than Warcraft, they are definitely no match for Warcraft in the game. To sum up the reasons, the first is success. Flying monsters are bred, and the creatures in the game are automatically compensated by the system based on the inventory quantity. This means that wild monsters will not become extinct. However, it costs money to build a plane, but it is free to catch monsters. If you continue to fight like this, you will definitely get an airplane. Can't beat World of Warcraft. Besides, there are missiles that can be used in reality. Although there is guidance arrow technology in the game that can be used to imitate missiles, the guidance arrow body has a speed limit. It is definitely enough to deal with ground targets and sea targets, but don't expect it in air combat. Unless you stuff dozens or hundreds of missiles into a launch nest, and then fire them all out at one go like the legendary Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, you won't be able to hit the flying unit at all. Therefore, the aerial combat in the game is basically aerial melee combat, supplemented by magic attacks.
Fighters are incomparable with Warcraft in terms of flexibility. If you let them fight hand-to-hand, what's the difference between this and hand-to-hand combat? Therefore, even if we have this technology, our guild has only built some experimental transport jet aircraft so far, so don't expect combat-type ones. Facts have proved that it was just a waste of money.
Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the above two technologies, our guild currently has the most powerful air combat fortress-Esinger Mobile Fortress and the most powerful small air combat unit-Mobile Angel, but we have no middle ground so far Model of flying unit. And until the latest technology of the Iron Empire and
Quite important to us.
"Okay, now that we have decided to build a large city, let's start taking action. Military God, you first make a budget report and give it to Rose. Ying, Shura Ziyi, Ah Wei, and Bai Ling, you guys are responsible for helping me keep an eye on it. On the Russian side, just don't let anything happen again during this period. Real Red, Gold Coin, Kristina, all three of your main combat forces will lead me to South America. Let's go to the city construction site first. Find out the surrounding situation carefully, and unplug the large monster gathering areas and other things that should be eliminated as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for yourself when the monsters attack the city. Okay, everyone else who has no missions will go to South America with us, city construction needs You all have a share in the escort team and the management staff. Ask the military god about the specific division of labor. Do you understand it?"
"learn."
For such a large-scale plan, if it is a government department, it is impossible to start taking action without planning for three to five months. And even if it takes three to five months, it only shows that this government is very efficient. After all, in many countries, it is not uncommon for a project to be discussed several years ago and then planned for seven or eight years before construction begins. However, that speed is completely intolerable to us. With the existence of the battlefield management computer called Military God, our plan making speed can be said to be as fast as lightning. Usually the results of a plan can be produced within an hour, and the content of the plan will be accurate to the individual, and the fund consumption will be accurate to each copper plate. This kind of efficiency cannot be achieved by relying on people.
After all the plans were distributed, we broke up the meeting and everyone started doing their own thing. Rose and the others need to mobilize funds to raise construction materials, which is a bit more troublesome and requires a lot of manpower. In comparison, my work here is not that troublesome.
Since our guild already has a city in South America, we directly used the transnational teleportation array to teleport over. When we got here, the guild leaders from South America were already waiting beside the teleportation array.
"President!" Seeing Kristina and I coming out of the teleportation array, the player immediately ran over excitedly.
The person in charge of the South America region of our guild is a young player who looks very thin. It is not false to say that he is young. He is really young. I suspect that he has just reached adulthood. It is said that this guy only graduated from junior high school, which is really amazing in this day and age. Not too high but too low. After all, 12-year compulsory education has been popularized in China for 50 years, and now compulsory college education has been directly popularized. As a result, this guy actually graduated from junior high school. This kind of person is definitely a rare existence now.
Although his academic qualifications are very low, the person in charge is a great person. Don't think that people with low academic qualifications must be stupid. In fact, academic qualifications have no direct relationship with IQ, and our person in charge is also a relatively different kind of existence. It is said that this guy dropped out of school not because of poor academic performance, nor because of financial reasons, but because he felt that going to school was a waste of time.
This guy is a genius just like Su Mei. Although he is not as scary as Su Mei, he is still a genius far beyond the average person. Before he graduated from junior high school, he had already completed self-taught work that many doctoral students had not figured out. Except for the fact that he did not go to university to be exposed to those advanced laboratories, so his hands-on ability was slightly worse, this guy is basically the same as a regular graduate with a Ph.D. There is no difference, and he is not only a doctor of one subject, but a doctor of three materials. Of course, this kind of person is a weirdo, and his experience cannot be promoted, nor is it suitable for promotion.
After graduating from junior high school, this kid felt that there was no point in continuing to go to school year after year. Finally, he discussed it with his family, because his family is relatively open-minded, and he is also a rich third generation, and his parents are like that. He has little interest in studying, so his parents are not as strict as ordinary parents in supervising his studies. After all, they themselves are not as good as their own son, so they obviously lack the confidence to educate their son. Because of this situation, our person in charge dropped out of school, and then he started to try out various things. As a result, he soon discovered that "Zero" is a very good simulated social system, so he devoted himself to the game. came to the world and quickly rose to prominence with his superhuman mind.
In fact, this boy is a special member. He did not come to the Frost Rose Alliance to sign up for membership on his own, but we took the initiative to recruit him. He used to be the president of a medium-sized guild, and this guild is a relatively alternative guild. Their guild didn't have many armed personnel, but there were a lot of businessmen who specialized in buying and selling. They would do whatever they wanted to make money. Therefore, their guild developed rapidly in the early stage and became rich very quickly. And the scale has expanded tremendously.
However, as I said before, he knew a lot of theoretical knowledge but had no practice, so various problems arose after the guild grew bigger. The first is a military problem. In reality, there are national laws and commercial regulations, and although there are transaction protections in the game, robberies and the like are still possible, and they are more direct and violent than in reality. After all, "Zero" is still a game with a lot of combat elements, so all kinds of violence here The incidents can be described as endless. However, it seems that our person in charge is not very good at these. He is only suitable for some business activities and has no understanding of this kind of fighting and other things. As a result, the guild that finally expanded was first attacked and plundered. After a few times, a traitor emerged and went out independently, taking away many guild resources and talents. In the end, their guild was in dire straits, and at this time we happened to find him and then brought him into our guild.
After joining the club, this kid reflected on what happened before. After the incident was over, he could see the nature of the matter clearly from the perspective of an outsider. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he was not good at fighting, and was only good at business and overall command, so he determined that joining the Frost Rose Alliance was a wise choice, because he only had to be responsible for what he was good at. As for safety issues , other people in the guild are responsible for that.
"Here, let me introduce you." I let the thin person in charge in front of me, and then introduced to Kristina and the others who came with me: "This is the person in charge of the South America region of our Frost Rose Alliance. Gold mountains and silver seas.”
"Gold Mountains and Silver Seas? Your name..." As soon as she heard this name, Jin Coin couldn't help but want to vomit. After all, she was said to be a money addict every day. In the end, she met someone who loved money more than her. Think about it. You know the name, gold mountains and silver seas.
Jinshan Yinhai was a little embarrassed to be called gold coins, and then explained: "The name was just given randomly before, so don't laugh at me. I am really excited that you can come here this time. I have long wanted to build a large-scale building here. The city, but the guild has been unable to free up space, and I have been applying for it for a long time!"
"Before, it was either Russia's invasion or Japan's situation changes. The guild has made several big moves in succession during this period. How can we spare the time to care about the situation in South America?" Zhenhong said.
Jinshan Yinhai didn't care about it, he just said: "Although you think it's calm here in South America and there's no danger, in fact you
You know, this is a golden nest. Powerful guilds from all over the world have reception points here, and players from all over the world often come here to travel. The benefits of this are great, but because it is not obvious, many people don't notice it. . Besides tourism, South America is also very rich in natural resources, at least a lot of minerals. "
"We'll talk about the mining issue later. Since we're here, we have to build the city." After I finished speaking, I let out the two mysterious figures in robes who were following me, and then said to Jinshan Yinhai: " You may have never met these two, but you may have heard of their names.”
When Jinshan Yinhai heard what I said, he curiously looked at the two men in black robes I let out. After a little recognition, he shook his head: "I really don't recognize them!"
"Let me introduce it to you." I said with a smile: "This is Radamance, and the other is Persephone. Do you know who they are?"
"Radamans and Persephone?" Jinshan Yinhai was stunned as soon as he heard the name. After a long time, he suddenly exclaimed: "Radamans and Persephone, one of the three giants in hell." Fournier?”
I nodded and said: "Because you said you want to build the Elf City, the construction team members of our guild are no longer needed. But these two are just right for this job. Persephone is the goddess of spring and takes care of plants. That is what she is best at. As for Radamance, although he seems to have nothing to do with it, he is actually a hidden gardening enthusiast, so these two are definitely the most suitable candidates to build the elf city."
After hearing this, Jinshan Yinhai immediately said excitedly: "With the help of two protoss, our construction plan will be much simpler. But isn't it true that the protoss can't run around?"
"You are talking about the local gods. We are now the guild gods of the Frost Rose Alliance, so we can move freely within the guild's sphere of influence. Moreover, the restrictions of the world's laws on our guild gods are not very strong. As long as there are With appropriate procedures, we can also operate outside the guild's sphere of influence, but the location and time of operations will be restricted to a certain extent, but overall it is much better than the local gods.
"I see, then there is no problem." After Jinshan Yinhai finished speaking, he turned to me and asked: "Um... President, although I said that I want to build an elf city, how do you plan to solve the problem of elf seeds? "
The so-called elf seeds are actually the seeds of various functional plants in the elf city. Although the name and specific appearance are different, I think this thing is the same as the urban architectural drawings used in general city construction.
Generally, cities pay a deposit after applying for a building, and then the system will give you a drawing corresponding to the city you are applying for. This is a city framework drawing, which only contains the most basic buildings. If you want to build a beautiful and powerful city , then some other special building drawings are needed. Our guild initially attacked the Temple of Light in the system city and robbed the library, so we got a lot of drawings. Later, because of our series of cooperation with the Temple of Darkness, we got a lot more drawings, and finally built it. The prototype of the current Isinger. Of course, another special thing about Essinger is that Essinger was originally an abandoned magic city. We are restoring the city on its ruins, so many drawings have been omitted. This is the real reason for Essinger's scale.
This elven city is different from ordinary cities. It does not require stone buildings. All functional buildings are elven plants. These plants do not require building materials such as stone or wood, nor do they require workers to construct, and they do not require drawings. All you need are the seeds of elf plants, referred to as elf seeds, and enough special materials.
Don't think that you can save construction costs by not requiring wood and stone in elven cities. If that were the case, wouldn't all the elven cities in the game now be? Is there any advantage in not taking advantage of others and treating them as fools? In fact, Elf City does not save money at all. On the contrary, this thing burns much more money than ordinary cities. Although all the plants in the elven city are grown and seem to require neither building materials nor artificial intelligence, in fact these plants must absorb a large amount of life force during the growth process, and the source of this life force is the tree of life. Produced water of life.
The water of life is actually a spring that rejuvenates youth. Together with the spring of elements produced by the Moon Well, they are also known as the two specialties of the elves. Because the yield of this spring of life water is extremely low and transportation and storage are troublesome, it is difficult to obtain. However, this is necessary to build an elf city, no matter what.
Of course, the system setting up such obstacles is not to block the whole family from building the elf city, so there must be a solution. This method is actually very simple. In the final analysis, it is a waste of money.
First you need to find an elf tribe, and then make sure it is just an elf tribe with its own city. From now on, you need to build a good relationship with these elves, and when your favorability level is high enough, you can buy water from the Fountain of Life. Due to the special settings of the elves, they usually do not refuse requests. Of course, the first thing is that the goodwill must reach the standard. However, although the elves are very sincere to their friends, they are not saints who give away things to others, and the output of the Fountain of Life is indeed not high, so they will definitely explain to you that there is no way around it, and the output is basically Can't meet your requirements. But the elves will not kill your hope, they will tell you the solution. This method is to use magic spring water to water the tree of life, and then the tree of life will produce a large amount of spring water of life.
Of course, the magic spring is a rare thing like the spring of life, so the production of the magic spring is not enough. But unlike the spring of life, Moon Well has a bug-level ability, which is that it can convert magic crystals into Moon Well water, which is magic spring water. So, you have a solution, which is to throw the magic crystal into the moon well, and then use the magic spring water produced to water the tree of life and get the fountain of life.
As we all know, magic crystal is a strategic material, something more precious than oil in reality. You said that using this thing to exchange for the spring of life is no different from burning money. And, most importantly, the conversion rate is shockingly low. This is also the reason why there are very few elf cities in the game, and almost all of them are system cities. The main reason is that the cost is too scary and no one can afford it, so everyone would rather go to the trouble of building a more normal city. As for the elven city, everyone has selectively forgotten it.
Our guild has a certain reserve of the Fountain of Life, and since we have a lot of money, we can use the magic crystal stone pile, so this is not a problem. However, you must have seeds when planting trees. This seed is a problem. The seeds of elven plants are not ordinary seeds. The elves rarely sell them to the outside world, and they have no money to buy them. Therefore, the only solution is to grab or change tasks.
