Chapter 67: Divide the Cake

Indonesia is an island country. Although the total area is not small, there are not many places where people can actually live. Moreover, this country is known as the country of a thousand islands, and the distance between islands is relatively large. People in Indonesia's own country don't care about the distance problem. Their own teleportation array is definitely accessible, but it is different with foreign ones. The Indonesians will not open the teleportation array to us. We must occupy island by island and compete with them beachhead by port.

The form of this attack is obvious. Indonesia has geographical advantages, and our advantage is its powerful fleet. I believe that the fleet's giant cannons should be able to knock the doors of these cities one by one. Material transportation and personnel preparation are necessary, and I can't rush it. I won't do anything that makes a small difference. The day after tomorrow is Saturday, and the time Ashford and I have decided is not arbitrary. We can try to win as many allies as possible during this time.

Although Indonesia is an island country, it still has neighbors. I sent several of the more eloquent people in the guild to Papua New Guinea and Malaysia respectively. These two countries are connected by land to Indonesia. Our representatives must reach an agreement with the guilds of these two countries. Even if these countries If you don't want to send troops to help, at least you can't cause trouble with me.

In addition to war preparations, what I am most concerned about is the plan for the aerial castle. If this powerful aerial plan can be completed, it means that we can dispatch NPC legions to participate in the war. This power cannot be underestimated.

Time passed very quickly in the busy schedule, and in the blink of an eye it was early Saturday morning. The guild members in the United States had all adjusted their schedules in advance, and now they were all waiting for the final attack order in Essinger. The players on the German side are similar to the Americans, and they have arrived long ago. The conditions I gave this time are very good, and any guild with a little foresight will not miss this opportunity.

Although the war is about to break out, what these people in the square are talking about now is not the city buildings of our guild. Those Germans were better. They had basically seen it during the last battle, and the Germans' character was not the chirping type. They chatted and laughed in groups as if they were having an open-air dance party.

The personalities of Americans and Germans are simply two extremes. These guys are running around in my city. They want to go in and take a look at any building that looks interesting. Fortunately, our guild cannot make it public. The place is heavily guarded, and I ordered the entrance to the dungeon to be closed in advance, otherwise these people would have to poke a hole in the sky!

In the conference hall. I held final consultations with the heads of these guilds.

Rose held the leaves of the city tree and said: "Please unfold the map of Indonesia."

A holographic projection of the earth immediately appeared on the floor of the conference hall. The picture suddenly zoomed in, and the land of Indonesia was displayed in the hall.

I said to these presidents: "This is the map of Indonesia in the game. This is still very different from the situation in the real world, so please try to see it clearly. I will give you a map when I leave. , but it is flat, so the things here need to be written down in detail. Please pay attention to these places."

The screen flashed, and several large islands began to appear on the gray three-dimensional map with red lights flashing.

"These are the main islands in Indonesia. Everyone knows it. Indonesia is known as the country of a thousand islands. In the game, the number of islands has not decreased but is more than in reality. But most of these islands are monster areas used for leveling. , there are not many islands that are actually inhabited.”

I snapped my fingers, and some other islands in the screen began to flash blue, while others were green.

"Everyone has seen it. These gray parts are all parts outside Indonesia. You can ignore it. These green islands are uninhabited islands, and some are just monsters. Don't touch them for the time being. These blue ones are the inhabited islands, and there are not many people on these inhabited islands. They are usually two to three cities, and the defense is weak. After the war, our guild's fleet will clean up your firepower, I believe By the time you arrive, there should be no defense facilities. All you have to deal with are players and defensive NPCs. Now look at these red islands."

"Isn't this the main island of Indonesia?" an American asked.

"That's right." I stepped off my throne and came to the three-dimensional map. "Please note that this is Sumatra. It is relatively long and narrow. Although it is not the largest island in Indonesia, it is the island with the most cities in Indonesia, and their main power is here. But this island is too narrow and long. Almost all cities are here. It is within the strike range of our naval guns, so the fire support from this island will be the strongest."

"How about we attack this island?" The president of an American guild stood up and said: "We are more accustomed to fighting with fire support, so it would be more appropriate for us to attack this island."

Eagle immediately said: "In fact, we plan to come to this island ourselves."

"Why?" the president of the American guild asked almost at the same time. The reward this time is whoever conquers the city will own it. Sumatra Wax Island controls the Strait of Malacca. Once they control it, it means that an economic artery is stuck in their hands. Americans usually don't stick to trivial matters, but when it comes to interests, they are unwilling to suffer at all.

Rose answered them: "Malaysia is across the Strait of Malacca. The relationship between China and them is pretty good. If we and they jointly control the Strait of Malacca, we can still negotiate some things. But if the American guild is in Across the strait, I think the Strait of Malacca will become a battlefield, right?"

Those American guilds stopped talking after hearing this.

I immediately continued: "Don't worry. I've found a better place for you. Pay attention here." I pointed to several large red islands: "Java Island, and this Sulawesi Island." West Island. These are all resorts, and they are all in the middle of these Indonesian islands. They can just control this large area. Don’t you think it has great strategic and economic significance?”

The presidents of the American guilds looked at it for a long time and nodded. "Okay, we've taken over the two main islands."

I smiled and said to the German presidents: "Well, how about you contract this island?"

Ashford was regarded as the general representative of the German guild this time. He looked at it and said, "Is it Kalimantan?"

"Yes. Kalimantan is the largest island in Indonesia. How about giving you such a large piece of land? Can you afford it?"

Ashford turned back and discussed with the guild presidents behind him for a long time before saying: "The area is very good. The location is a little inferior, but the total value is very high. We took it."

"German friends are happy." I said happily: "These are not the only islands I have assigned to everyone. After American and German friends occupy the main island, they can launch attacks on the outer islands. Our fleet will We will accompany them to clear the way. Of course, it would be better if your own fleet can arrive by then."

An American president suddenly asked: "What to do with Irian Island? Do you want to take it all to yourself?"

"Irian Island?" I looked at the map before saying: "Oh, the island you mentioned is generally called New Guinea Island here. We have already discussed this island with the New Guinea Guild, considering that most of this island is actually It is the territory of New Guinea, so we reached an agreement with them. After the war, New Guinea's guilds will cross the forest dividing line and occupy the entire island. The conditions they offered were to wipe out Indonesia's maritime power for them and ensure that they could not be affected by Impede access to the other side's waters."

Ashford nodded: "The geographical division is roughly like this, right? The surrounding small islands will depend on who can make the move quickly."

The Americans also nodded: "We have no objection."

Hong Yue stood up and said: "Then the main fleet of our guild will first go to Indonesia to start a naval battle with the opponent, and the other four secret fleets will carry materials and personnel to establish a city as a beachhead on each of the four main islands we want to attack. , and then everyone can quickly land on these islands and quickly start attacking other cities. After destroying the Indonesian fleet, our main fleet will be dispersed to the major islands to provide fire support for everyone. The occupied cities must immediately set up defense systems and hire guards Participate in protection, so as to truly ensure safety. But the attack must not stop. The key to this battle is to be fast. We will cripple the opponent's main force before they can react. By the time they react, they will no longer be able to compete with us."

I added: "One more thing to remind you, that is, don't rush in. Battles between guilds in different countries are not like battles between domestic guilds. The teleportation array will not be blocked, and those people can still run back and forth. . If the Indonesians are smart enough, they may abandon some coastal cities that are not very important and directly concentrate their forces on inland cities that are beyond the reach of our firepower. Although I personally think that the other side does not have the courage. But just in case, we still Please note that if you encounter this situation, do not rush in. This is an overseas operation, and it is very troublesome to resurrect everyone after their death. There is no need for us to compete with them in numbers."

"Then what should we do if we encounter this situation?" An American asked: "Shouldn't we fight?"

"Isn't this simple?" Hongyue asked, "Think about how your own army handles a solid defense line?"

The American immediately said: "Stop and call for air strikes." He suddenly stopped and said: "Does your guild also have a strategic air force?"

"You guessed it, we really do. But since you are an American, you should know this better than me. The cost of each strategic air force dispatch is in hundreds of millions, so unless the other party shrinks its defenses, Stronghold city, otherwise we will not dispatch the air force."

"I understand. But I have a request." The American president asked: "I want to see your aircraft."

"This...!" Hongyue turned to look at me.

I nodded: "There is nothing to discuss now. If you want to see it, come with me!"

When we arrived at a specially transformed square in Essinger, all the guild presidents were dumbfounded. Ashford was stunned for a long time before asking: "This...is this the finished product?"

I smiled and said, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I go to such trouble to build this guy?"

"Can we see the take-off effect?" asked an American president.

I gestured to Woma below. Woma nodded.

Since the success of the thruster experiment, our guild has been working hard on emerging aircraft. The goal is of course to allow us to have an aerial fortress. But in the end, after the three technicians discussed it for a long time, the design plan they came up with exceeded most people's imagination. They came up with a strange thing that had nothing to do with airplanes, and named it a big windmill.

This thing called a big windmill looks more like a huge beer barrel, and the structure of this guy is actually half-wooden! In everyone's surprised eyes, this huge object like a beer barrel suddenly stretched out six huge rotating leaves from one-third and two-thirds of the height. These rotary blades are made of ultra-light and high-grade materials. The only disadvantage is that the price is as high as the performance.

Suddenly the two layers of leaves began to move. But their rotation directions are completely opposite. As these blades rotated, the entire object slowly rose up. When this thing rose high into the sky, it suddenly began to tilt eastward. When the tilt angle reached forty-five degrees, it suddenly began to fall downward. During the fall, it also moved rapidly toward the east. As the height dropped, it suddenly began to tilt in the opposite direction. With the bottom facing the east, the speed began to decrease rapidly. When the horizontal movement came to a complete stop, the vertical fall of the wine barrel also began to slow down. Finally, it came to a complete stop when it was about to approach the sea surface.

Everyone can see that this guy's movement trajectory is very similar to that of a helicopter, but its shape is really ugly! In fact, the principle of this thing is very different from that of a helicopter, except that the flying posture is somewhat similar!

"How does this thing fly?" The presidents asked excitedly.

I smiled and explained: "There is a large gravity resistance device inside the wine barrel-like main body. When it lifted off, it actually relied on this anti-gravity device instead of the rotating blades. In fact, those blades were just starting at that time. .Because these blades only need to reach a certain rotational speed to generate power, they are already running when they take off. When it reaches the approved height, this guy will start to tilt, pointing the bottom in the opposite direction of where it wants to go. At this time, it is closed Gravity resistance device, and simultaneously activates the seven large air turbines inside it and the rotating blades outside. The air turbines will suck in air from the top of the aircraft and then eject it from the tail. This generates a lift. Because the 'barrel' is If it is tilted, the lift force will decompose, and part of the force will push it forward, making it move in the horizontal direction. And the other part of the force will support the big wine barrel so that it can fall at a relatively slow speed. Otherwise, it will definitely fall to the ground. As for those large rotating blades, although they can also provide part of the lift, in fact they are just devices to help adjust the flight attitude."

A slightly more knowledgeable German player immediately said: "President Ziri, don't be so stingy! I'm afraid the thruster can't achieve such a strong thrust, right? You must have other equipment. After turning off the gravity resistance device, that thing floats The situation is very strange. It doesn’t look like a device that relies entirely on propulsion to fly. You must have other technologies. Please don’t hide your secrets. In the worst case, why don’t we buy technology from you?”

When he said this, the other presidents agreed and asked me what the secret technique was.

I smiled and said: "Actually, there is nothing to tell you. The president is right. Those propulsion equipment cannot support such a heavy weight."

"Did you use any cutting-edge technology?" American players are always more excited.

I smiled and said, "It's actually a very simple principle. I make a balloon."

"Balloon?" The presidents thought for a long time, and one president suddenly asked: "Are you saying that some parts of this thing are filled with ultra-light gases such as helium, and the huge buoyancy of the air is used to drag this huge thing up?"

"Actually, we didn't fill it with helium. You also know that extracting helium requires too many things. It's really not convenient in the game."

"Then what did you rush into?"

"We didn't rush anything."

At first, the German president looked at me in surprise: "You mean there are two vacuum chambers in it?"

"The specific gravity of the vacuum chamber is lighter than that of helium, so it weighs less for the same volume."

"But how did you do it?" Another German player asked: "Do you have a vacuum pump? What about supports? In order for that thing to have enough lifting force, the size of the vacuum chamber cannot be small, right? It's so big If something is not strong enough, the atmospheric pressure will crush it. But if the shell is too thick, it will be too heavy. How do you solve it?"

"The pressure problem we thought was easy to solve. We made that thing into a sphere. Then we built the shell of that sphere using the strongest lightweight material we could find. When a certain pressure is applied to its surface, the pressure will be uniform. The ground is distributed on the surface of the sphere, and then the pressure will further stabilize the molecular structure, thus generating enough resistance to resist the pressure. In other words, the greater the pressure, the stronger it will be and it will not be crushed at all."

"Negative pressure theory? Your guild's technical strength is so strong that it can produce such principle-level things!" The German asked again: "But what about vacuum? How do you create vacuum? An ordinary air pump Can’t the vacuum be drawn out?”

"Of course we know this, but we have this." I pointed to the large number of fire hydrant-like things standing beside the square.

The president of a guild cried out: "Diffusion pump? How...how did you get it?"

"That was made by the technical players in our guild. It was originally designed to provide a vacuum environment for vacuum tomography machines, and it can be used now."

An American president next to him asked the German president: "What is a diffusion pump? Is it very powerful?"

Ashford answered for the president: "The diffusion pump is a two-stage pump. It does not have much pumping capacity on its own, but once it is connected to the first-stage centrifugal pump, it can create a high-proportion vacuum environment. In it There is a diffusion nozzle inside, which can spray out the internal diffusing agent at high speed. After these diffusing agents wrap the air molecules, they will settle to the bottom of the air chamber, and then the first-stage pump will extract all the high-density molecules at the bottom. , so that the air chamber becomes a vacuum environment. The principle is roughly like this, but the specific manufacturing is extremely complicated, and it is not something that can be manufactured casually. "

The presidents all took a breath of cold air.

Ashford said to me: "What is the diffusing agent you use? That thing is not easy to handle!"

I smiled and held out a hand. Then a few pieces of silver feathers flew down from behind, and the feathers turned into steel silver bees and flew above the palm of my hand. These steel silver bees quickly turned into a ball of mercury above my palm, and then gathered more and more.

There is no need for me to explain this time. Ashford sighed: "It turns out that you can 'manipulate' the magic mercury! No wonder otherwise!"

A president at the back asked: "How much does this thing cost? Can't we just buy it?"

Ashford answered for me: "Unfortunately, I want to tell you that even if President Ziri is willing to sell it, you won't be able to use it if you buy it back. The diffusion agent required for the diffusion pump is not very easy to find in the game. The only one that is easier to find is It’s mercury, but unless you can control these substances, you still can’t use them. Diffusion agents are all volatile substances. It’s really difficult to pour into the diffusion pump. I don’t think it’s possible without the ability of President Purple Sun!"

There were whispers below, all saying it was strange that I was so generous and told them everything. It turned out to be a technology that could not be copied at all.

Hongyue started to introduce to the presidents from the side: "Although we cannot sell diffusion pumps, our bank will start selling evacuated vacuum chambers in the future. I think everyone should be interested, right? Even if we can't build an aircraft, You can just make something like a hot air balloon!"

When Hongyue said this, the surrounding presidents wanted to buy it. We quickly explained that we had not prepared a production line yet. Production cannot begin until this battle is over.

After we had almost arranged everything in the city, the fleet began to set off. As for the mobile fortress named Windmill City, we did not let it fly directly over. The speed of that thing was really not flattering. Our choice was to put the thing directly behind the battleship, use the boat to pull it to the destination and then activate it. In this way, this big guy can not only catch up with our battle in time, but also reinforce our fleet.

There is a transnational teleportation array inside Windmill City. We can go to the city at any time, so I did not set off with the fleet. When we need to set off, we can just go through the teleportation array.

Windmill City is a city. Not much space actually. This wine barrel-like city itself is not very big. The vacuum chamber occupies the entire upper two-thirds of the space. In fact, only the bottom third of the city is usable space. The size of the gravity resistance device is equivalent to two large buses. Each of the seven air turbines is as large as the gravity resistance device, and as a result, they occupy most of the remaining one-third of the space. In addition, the energy extractor specially designed for these big guys is also a big deal, and the remaining space has to be taken up! The last remaining space needed to be placed for a giant transnational teleportation array. For this reason, our designers moved for a long time before clearing an open space. However, a mobile city cannot be without communication and observation equipment, so we built a communication room and city. In the parliament hall, an observation cabin was also built to serve as the resurrection hall and domestic teleportation array. In the end, the remaining space was designed as a take-off deck to facilitate the air force coming out of the teleportation array to take off. After all, our guild also has a lot of flying legions. Because there is no more spare space, this flying city has no self-defense weapons at all. However, there are several small passages outside the transnational teleportation array specifically for bombing. Just push the bombs out of the teleportation array through this hole. In an emergency, this can also be used as a personnel exit to relieve the pressure on the main take-off deck.

This windmill city is a temporary thing. Because there is no way to solve many problems, we have to make do with local methods. The result is what it is now. But on the other hand, at least it is small enough to be used by battleships. Dragging it around is also an advantage.

The fleet advanced rapidly on the sea, and players in the city began to load their bodies with medicine. I once again asked Vina to give a constant blessing spell to all the participants. Vina said that as the main god of this city, she had the obligation to bless us, but she could not give us a constant blessing, but she gave us all a time limit of 24 Hours of prayer to God. The priest's prayer can only have a few blessing effects at most, but the god's prayer is another matter. Not only the players themselves, but also the magic pets and weapons are strengthened, which makes the foreign players' eyes widen.

The player in Essinger's communication room suddenly reported via private message: "President, the fleet has arrived off the coast of Indonesia."
