Infinity Armament

Tianwei IV.

This is a remote and deserted planet.

It is not large, it is about a quarter of the Earth's surface area, with a total land area of 0.8 billion square kilometres and an ocean area of 0.3 billion square kilometres.

Less than half of the land's ocean area makes its natural ecology extremely poor, with very little vegetation area, wide variations in temperature day and night, and the inability to even form a complete biosphere, ultimately relying on systems to make it a barely viable place for humankind.

Tianwei IV Star Triangle Area, Purgatory Angel Base.

A convoy is coming from afar.

The leading flame chariot stopped at the base door and walked out of the car with a woman in a general's uniform who looked very handsome, Meryl.

Merrill walked up to the base gate and the guarded soldier saluted: "My Lord General! ”

Meryl returned to a military ceremony and looked around and frowned: “Where's Alfonso? Why didn't anybody come over for a security check? ”

“I'm here.” Not far away, a young man in a leather jacket with headphones lazily walked over: “I just went around. ”

“Are you going lazy?” Meryl glanced at him coldly: "All the outbound convoys come back for routine checks, you don't know. ”

“I just trust you...”

“I don't need your faith!” Meryl stared at him and said, "I just need you to follow the rules of the base! ”

Alfonso's hands flashed: "OK, OK, you guys, check the convoy, let it go when it's over, come on! ”

A group of soldiers have roared and rushed up.

“You're always so rigid, Meryl, it's so boring.” Alfonso was helpless.

Merrill glanced at him coldly: "You're always so unprofessional, Alfonso. When are you gonna put on your damn uniform? ”

“Come on, we're not real soldiers. ”

“But we are generals, and your performance will diminish your prestige among soldiers. ”

“I don't care. I didn't depend on them to fight.” Alfonso stall, he took the position of shooting with his hand: "If the bugs came, I could clean them all up by myself. ”

Merrill snorted, and she had nothing more to say about this powerful but proud guy who didn't know the heavens and earth. After all, Alfonso's time to enter the Five Difficulties has been too short, having experienced only two small-scale tidal attacks, and has yet to truly see the horrors of the Bug Nation.

The soldier in charge of the inspection returned shortly to report: "Report General Alfonso, the convoy has been inspected and no anomalies have been found, no disguise or signs of infiltration. Got 2,000 tons of ore, 66 percent purity, done reporting. ”

“Wow, 66 percent purity!” Alfonso whistled: “Well done, Meryl. You always get the most out of every trip. ”

“And you're always the least.” Meryl was polite.

Tianwei IV has a harsh ecological environment, but is rich in mineral veins and rich in a large number of premium metal veins.

Metal veins are not an adventurer's resource, but they can be the best alternative for base expansion.

Facilities such as the base walls, defensive towers, etc. use a large amount of metal, which can be purchased by spending points or completed through construction, which, while cumbersome, has the advantage of reducing large investments. However, walls constructed from metal alone are not strong enough and need to be reinforced by systems, which can only cost points.

In addition, some other defensive measures may also use such metal veins, such as the development of Red Police bases, which require the use of large quantities of metal.

The Red Police Base is a commonly used defense tool, producing many soldiers through base car buildings at low cost, much cheaper than recruiting soldiers from the system.

However, the development of the Red Police Base requires mineral resources and, to be precise, the Red Police Base is not cheaper, but can make substantial use of alternative resources.

The abundance of minerals on Tianwei IV beats Tatooine, so the defense conditions are relatively good, although the living environment is harsh.

With enough time and mineral resources, a huge ground arm can be built with only a small score.

The convoy is thus, in a sense, like a mining vehicle in the Red Police, dedicated to mining.

Of course, Red Police base cars are not the only option.

In addition to Red Police base cars, there are some more powerful bases, the most typical of which is the Human Star Base, which is the base in Star Warfare. This base produces the kinds of soldiers in Starbucks, including those who can be redeemed directly, and warships can be obtained through production, which is cheaper than redeeming points because of the metallic mine alternative plus self-production.

However, very few people do this in five difficulty, first of all such bases invest hugely, a base car alone costs 5 million points, late production still needs to consume points, even the generals are hard to bear. Second, such bases are naturally taunted and can lead to fierce attacks by the insects, who may have taken the bases built at huge cost before they have played much of a role.

When I heard Merrill say this, Alfonso laughed: “Why do you care so much, Merrill? Even if it's more, it's for everyone. ”

“It is because everyone thinks like you that the Third Ring defense system has not yet been built.” Meryl grumbled.

Cooperation is this kind of bird, everyone wants others to do more, everyone wants to do less.

The Chinese are no better than the Europeans and Americans.

Just as she tried to kick Alfonso's ass, the sound of an engine burst into the sky.

They looked up into the air at the same time, seeing only a large convoy flew in from the distant sky and hundreds of fighter escorts on both wings.

“It's courier!” Alfonso screamed and he jumped into the air, first on the wall, which was 30 meters high, then jumped to a nearby tower, took out a telescope from the sentry and looked at it from afar, shouting, “Thirty-two supermassive L700 transporters, how come there are so many? Shit, this isn't a follow-up. This is a new base. We're coming to the new neighborhood! ”

Meryl also jumped up and looked away: “It's also possible that the newcomer joined. ”

“Thirty-two oversized cargo planes were used to deliver, couldn't be new, no new person had the ability, this must be a joint base!” Alfonso replied. The opening of new bases may not necessarily be all new generals, but may also be too small for predecessors to further expand their sphere of influence and may not necessarily be in the original region.

But either way, the ability to send so many materials for construction at once when opening a new base is a huge force.

You know, the vast majority of newcomers, when opening a new base, can only choose to invest a small amount, and then grow step by step in time. Even if the elderly expand, they won't invest so much all at once. Most of the time, the support from the main base of the system is mostly done by three or five transport planes, a dozen or twenty are relatively large. Even Meryl and Alfonso have seen the delivery of more than thirty oversized transport planes like this for the first time.

“Not necessarily.” Meryl said casually: “Some newcomers may have this pen. ”

She did not deliberately think about who could do it, but when she said it, the image of the Blade Squad came to mind.

Why can't you always forget them?

Meryl shook her head and didn't want to think about what she had been through. However, deep down, the shadow of some people was stubborn and stubborn and unwilling to disappear. That awful smile was more than once flickering Meryl's heart string...

Alfonso obviously didn't care how Merrill was feeling at the moment, and his telescope was chasing the transporter all the way: “Look where they chose the location... oh... no... damn... they chose the Platinum Mountains... they were right next to us! ”

Alfonso's voice was obviously sharp, but then there was a lot of anger in his face: "No, these bastards don't understand the rules? That's our radiation zone. They can't build a base there! ”

The so-called radiation zone is the indirect control zone.

An adventurer building a territory of 10,000 square kilometres, for example, does not mean that he really wants to build a wall along the land that stretches more than 300 kilometres.

That would be too big.

The real approach would be to build a core base in the corresponding territory, while the perimeter of the base would belong to the radiation area of the energy converter, without the need for absolute control.

This is like the relationship between urban and rural areas. The surrounding rural areas are still subordinate to the cities, and the calculation of the urban area also counts the rural area, such as the total area of the three counties of a city, but the walls themselves only protect the cities.

For adventurers, as long as there are no other adventurers in the radiation zone.

However, precisely because of the ambiguity of the radiation area and the absence of fence control, overlapping radiation areas tend to occur and sometimes contradictions arise.

The first thing new residents didn't expect to do was to set foot in the radiation zone of the West Side Joint Base, and no wonder Alfonso jumped to shout.

This is almost a joint base, the only difference is that the joint base allows radiation coverage, the neighbours do not, and the back gardens are not shared.

Merrill arrived calm and jumped to the top of the tower, also holding up the telescope and looking out into the distance, until she could see the drop of the transporter and said, "No, Alfonso, they weren't built on the radiation zone, just the border approaching… they calculated the distance… they were ready. ”

Without radiation coverage, it is not a joint base, but only a neighbour.

But this time the neighbors clearly belong to the neighborhood class, 101 and 102.

Question is, there's plenty of empty houses here. What are you doing so close to me?

“Really?” heard Merrill, Alfonso beamed, and he jumped up and looked away, finally confirming what Merrill was saying: "But then we couldn't expand that way. ”

Although the other party said that it did not violate the radiation zone, the two sides of the line approached, blocking an expansion direction of the Purgatory Angel Base invisibly.

Territorial expansion is likewise a preoccupation of all adventurers and can only grow if it continues to expand outwards.

“They left a part.” Meryl, keep looking.

During the landing transport, some engineers were coming out of the transport aircraft, travelling all the way in specialized engineering vehicles, leaking white powder under the vehicle and drawing a white line on the ground, which was delineating the area. After the peripheral radiation zone is divided, it is the inner base area.

From the direction of the engineers' scribes, it is clear that the other party did not intend to block the expansion of the Purgatory Angel, retaining most of the blank space, which makes the other party's area not a complete circle, but it does not matter that the construction of the territory would have to consider the environment. The other base is built on the side of the Platinum Mountains, which allows them to save one direction of fencing.

However, these blank zones do not mean that only purgatory angels can use them, and the base of the other party can develop in that direction.

“They're kind of human beings.” Alfonso also saw that some of his anger was finally quenched, but he was still uncomfortable with the other side building a new territory beside him.

Does the side of the fallen allow others to sleep?

“Maybe we should talk to them and let them go a little further. ”

“I will, but first I have to see who they are...” Merrill said of the sudden jamming of the shell because she saw a bunch of Terminators coming out of the transporter.

Terminator?

A large number of terminators are moving cargo out of the cargo plane to various designated locations, followed by several familiar figures.

“Oh… no…” Seeing that familiar face, Meryl could no longer control the groaning and the telescope crashed to the ground.

“Seven energy converters, twelve dual S-class shore-based fortifications, eight energy cannons, four super fortifications, 3,000 workers, 500 soldiers and other supplies are all in place, please sign. ”

A Message Alliance Adventurer handed over the document to Shen Yi.

“I didn't know there was a procedure for signing this.” Shen Yi smiled and signed his name on it, and the adventurer went on to laugh: “Simulate the world, the system functions are gradually being replaced. ”

The adventurer said he looked back at the workers and soldiers who had already begun their busy work: "This is the biggest escort I've ever had. The blade team is a blade team, and it comes up to 100,000 square kilometers of land, and the rest of the team starts with one or two energy conversion fields. You know, the hardest thing to do when you're starting out, those bugs love to do is destroy them all in one breath while your territory is still under construction, and let your investment float. The larger the territory, the longer the construction cycle, and the longer the period of weakness. ”

“That's why we need to recruit more workers. Unfortunately, workers' salaries are still too high, and 3,000 workers are 150,000 points.” Shen Yi sighed.

Gentle smile: "Look, this is the capitalist's face, the boss hates having to pay. ”

The adventurer laughed: "It's already good, I didn't expect you to have so many own soldiers and terminators, otherwise it would cost you more points to recruit temporary soldiers alone. ”

In fact, with the number of soldiers and Terminators Shen Yi now possesses, he can no longer recruit new soldiers. After all, there are 3,000 men in the Second Regiment alone.

The problem is that defensive measures such as fortress guns purchased can only be used by recruited soldiers. Although their own soldiers can be cultivated, they are too time-consuming. Therefore, Shen Yi recruited a group of soldiers of around 500 people, specializing in manipulating various types of turrets.

He bought a small number of turrets, only 24 in total, but they were all double-S grade goods. As for medium- and low-level artillery, the fortifications had been used enough to reduce the recruitment of soldiers.

The scope of the core base has begun to be delineated, and all work has its own charter, which does not require temporary design, and the recruitment of workers is far more efficient than that of Earthlings, who, in fact, alone are physically stronger than the best special forces on the planet, otherwise they will not survive on a planet with a harsh environment.

Nevertheless, it would still take at least 15 days for 3,000 workers to build a core base covering 1,000 square kilometres and six satellite bases.

In the past, adventurers have either taken refuge in other adventurers or have joined forces or set up ultra-small bases for self-preservation before attempting to develop in order to get through the start-up phase as quickly as possible.

The Blade Blade Team was a standard base for 10 people at the beginning, more than a step or two ahead of schedule. If Merrill says this is the first expansion after completing the standard construction.

Most teams have gone through a one- to two-month cycle before completing standard construction, and the Purgatory Angel Base has not even completed its third full expansion.

Of course, they are based on 36 people.

“Zeus, finish the zoning. We're five minutes behind schedule!” Shen Yi shouted to Zeus, the chief construction commander in the distance: "Only by completing the zoning can the construction of the energy supply center begin! ”

Energy supply centres, like urban power plants, are central to supporting the operation of all equipment. Due to its size at the outset, the Blade Squad's base built ten energy supply centers.

After explaining Zeus, Shen Yi smiled back at the adventurer: "Well, thank you for this time, I'm sure there will be a chance to trouble you again. ”

“You're welcome, so good luck.” The adventurer knew that this was the busiest time for generals, and he stopped talking and left.

As the transport fleet left, Shen Yi clapped his hands: “Well, from now on, we're going to have a good time playing this farm game. Arias, you take a couple of people over there and set up temporary security, Frost, Lyle, Ralph, you take people over there and there. Michelle, take your men and build a patrol. Hung Lang, Kong, Linger, you are responsible for helping build, speed up the progress of the project, and let the god of war mechanical armor also help, high power is not only used to kill people. Gentle, you go explore the nearby metallic veins. Yi Yu, find a suitable open space between the main base and the satellite base to put down the fortress! We're counting on it before the base finishes. ”

“Understood!” Everyone answered.

“What about you?” Gently blinked at Shen Yi.

“I am in charge of foreign affairs and receive some visiting guests.” Shen Yi smiled and answered.

Looking back, a shuttle is heading this way at high speed.
