Infinity Armament

Chapter 1358: Hard Initial Construction

Since the Purgatory Sect itself and the Vientiane Palace were in a state of war, cooperation was virtually a push along with no waves.

Colonel Merrill and others talked to Shen Yi for six or seven hours before leaving, during which time Colonel Merrill told Shen Yi some things that required special attention in building the base.

For example, precautions for the use of some equipment and facilities, some of the problems most likely to be encountered in the course of development, the time and manner in which insects are most likely to launch attacks.

These suggestions are invaluable experiences, summed up by senior generals with blood and sweat, and Meryl, they can be said to have given their lives to the Blade Breakers for free.

The most noteworthy of these is the time of attack of the insect clan.

Insect attacks are fairly prescriptive, and any new base is almost invariably subject to at least one insect attack before construction is complete, the difference being only in terms of size.

The time point for this attack is usually chosen halfway through the construction of the new base.

At this time, as the new base had been halfway built and could hardly be dismantled, and the defense system was incomplete, every loss was real and many generals were weak and weak.

So the first thing that needs to be done to build a new base is to build a perimeter defense. If a base takes fifteen days to complete, it is best to complete basic defense construction within seven to ten days in order to cope with the first wave of insect invasion. As for the construction of energy converters and so on, it's best not to get too busy at first, which will only slow down progress.

This is completely different from previous strategic games, prioritizing resources.

Every new general is halfway into an ongoing game, ready for a possible blow.

So this initial phase can be described as quite difficult, with some unlucky guys going through months to toss up new bases, and some of the more unlucky ones losing their chances forever.

After accepting Merrill et al. 's recommendations, Shen Yi also changed his approach, changing the priority of building, starting with the development of defense facilities.

The Base's defensive facilities generally consist of three components.

The first part is the defensive part, which consists mainly of towers, walls and energy shields.

The construction of the wall requires a ore smelter to cast the smelted ore into a large wall bedrock, which is eventually reinforced by a system. Reinforcement costs points. Reinforcement of the wall foundation takes 100 points per kilometre, base defense is 50 points, and durability is 10,000 points. Upgrades are available, requiring 1,000 points for each upgrade, increasing Defense by 15 points, without increasing Durability, up to Lv50.

The energy shield can place the entire base under the energy shield. The construction of the energy shield requires the first construction of the energy transfer tower, which receives energy, releases the shield, and can carry out partition defense. The more energy transfer towers, the narrower the partitions, and the energy can be maximized by switching the area. After all, the energy cover in the unattacked area is open, which also consumes energy. The Eternal Heart can act on the energy shield, but due to the size of the energy shield, only the Eternal Heart's own energy, limited effectiveness, can constantly transform the energy supply center is the fundamental support. Unfortunately, this thing is too big to transfer onto the battleship.

The towers are part of the early warning component, which allows advanced towers to detect hostilities and issue early warnings while insects are still outside the atmosphere. Anyone standing on the tower can get a visual boost to the tower, detect enemy movements over long distances, prepare for response, and discover the functionality of the buried bugs.

However, because of the angular limitations of the towers, it would be preferable to have them in all corners, and the towers would be relatively easily destroyed, preferably with some spare parts.

The second part consists of an offensive component consisting mainly of artillery, anti-aircraft towers and other ancillary measures.

The turret must be installed after the construction of the fence is completed and can be purchased or produced by itself, as can the anti-aircraft tower, but can be built in the base. Other ancillary measures, such as lightning arrays, laser traps, etc. are also available for purchase and production. Self-production requires the construction of the corresponding plant, the collection of resources and a certain production time.

The third part is the manoeuvring part, which consists mainly of soldiers, mechanics and a variety of large war machines. They are the main force in the base's defense, but they are also an important reliance on shifting to offense, and the most expensive of the three components. Generally, generals gather resources through base vehicles, gradually expanding the size of the army, and then start attacking and competing for a larger territory until a certain amount of strength is formed.

As a result, in mobile armaments, generals typically purchase the various types of force supplied by the system in advance and rely mainly on production at a later stage, of which Red Police base vehicles are the most popular.

Shen Yi did not choose this series, however, he chose another path: Skynet.

He left the Skynet system, and now naturally he wants to continue it.

The Big Universe Program is an upgraded version of Terminator, and Terminator's production line can be relocated to the simulated world, using the resources here to produce heavily, which also saves money on purchasing base cars, after all, a Red Police base car is not cheap.

The force system developed by Skynet is not weaker than the Red Alert system. While Terminator soldiers are stronger than ordinary soldiers, there are also devastators in the heavily armoured system.

While a Destroyer is a tragedy, hundreds of Destroyers are no worse than the Apocalypse. Double C is slightly worse, but it is not impossible to upgrade to Double B, Double A.

Hunters in the air war system are stronger than the Red Police Base, which is typically stronger on the ground and much weaker in air war. Skynet has no disadvantage in this regard, and a large number of high-ranking hunters are perfectly capable of hitting the Kirov airship to the north.

Most importantly, SkyNet's production line has many coincidences with Warcraft. This is a technological enhancement of Shen Yi's design. Of course, he will not design two systems for himself to increase investment.

The only regret is that the super-weapon system cannot be built by special categories, such as the time-out air force of the Red Alert system, where Skynet does not dominate as a purely technological system. But even Red Police Base wasn't easy to build these things. Edmund was so arrogant, he couldn't use a lot of high-tech.

At Merrill's suggestion, energy supply centers, walls, ore smelters and food production plants were included in the priority construction plan.

Because the blade team designed a base with a radiation area of 100,000 square kilometres, of which the core base alone covers 1,000 square kilometres, and because of the backing of the Platinum Mountains and the length of the wall of 85 kilometres, infrastructure of such a magnitude, even with the production capacity accelerated by the system, is slightly insufficient, the blade team completely abandoned the construction of six satellite bases, giving priority to the core base, and then carried out a second expansion after completion of this part.

On the first day of Tianwei IV, an energy supply centre had been spearheaded for completion, followed by a large ore smelter and food production plant and some related ancillaries. Since the equipment is directly purchased, the factory only needs to be built.

Meanwhile, the gently led mining team, guided by Merrill, has also found a mining site. The super-tech large ore excavator has been booming, digging up large quantities of metal ore, crushing it, sending it back, all running back and forth to the pipeline, sending the ore to the smelter for smelting. With the roar of the machine, a large piece of iron that has been burned and casted has been sent out of the base and transported to a designated location.

These large iron bricks, which are used to build the walls, are three times three in size and 27 cubes in size, and need only be transported to a designated location for stacking and reinforcement by the system.

Workers have been busy for almost 24 hours, and these same guys who belong to the same irregular human race are energetic, that is, not sleeping for a few days or nights is fine, but Shen promised to double their wages.

“I always thought I could fix everything for $5,000 and didn't expect to have to pay overtime.” Shen Yi threw up the trough helplessly.

“Know full well, no one on Earth would accept a triple wage for 24 hours.” Gently smiled.

“Then why don't you say that in one day these workers will build 10 kilometers wide and 15 meters high and 30 meters high of steel walls, and it will take months for you to build roads on Earth. ”

The only iron bricks needed to build a one-kilometre fence are more than 16,000 pieces, and 160,000 pieces for 10 kilometres. Whether it is burnt or built, the efficiency is already staggering.

“Unfortunately, even then, we will not be able to complete all the construction of the wall.” Shake your head gently.

Ten kilometres per day of the fence is already at its limit, which is still systematically reinforced, with the participation of a large number of regimental soldiers and terminators. Faster speeds require more convoys, more workers, more smelters, more food production plants, more ancillary facilities, that is, more points.

Blade team capital is strong, but independent bases offset their strong strengths, coupled with relatively high starting points, making them more elusive in construction than adventurers in general.

“Leaving the gap with the fortress should be resolved. ”

“What about the energy transfer tower?” Zhou Yiyu came and asked: "An energy supply center is not enough, but most workers went to build the fence. ”

“Abandoning the energy shield defense, there has not yet been much construction inside the base and there is not much to protect. All factories can be destroyed from scratch as long as the line of defense remains intact.” Shen Yi replied that although the energy shield was good, it was a large consumer of energy, like a tower in the Red Police, consuming a lot of electricity.

If energy shield defenses are not used, only a few plants can supply energy to a single supply centre.

He was ready to take the loss in the first wave of attacks, so he did not intend to build a transfer tower.

Besides, strategic games don't have buildings that don't get demolished.

“What about the tower and the air defense tower? ”

“Replace it with a tower with a satellite, and use a battleship for air defense. ”

The tower and air defense tower are characterized by cheap prices, but now Shen Yi has satellites with warships and lack of time for workers. It is inevitable to replace low-cost goods with high-cost goods.

Energy shield defenses, outposts and air defences were eliminated, and the construction of the base was fully geared towards ground defense.

Shen Yi and others also swept into the construction work, that is, during this time, Shen Yi deeply understood why the generals clearly had time to leave the world, but were afraid to leave here one by one.

I'm really busy!

Shen Yi now works with a mirror image open.

He never thought about Mirror Image Split or this feature, but he had to admit that it did work quite well.

A Terminator line was completed on the fourth day, starting with the Destroyer Series, which is better suited for position warfare, and of course, because the lines are too simple, they are just some of the most common double-C level destroyers. Then there are some hunters, also low-level products, to compensate for low-altitude defenses. Simulating the world is self-production and consuming points. Although the price is cheap and the quantity is considerable, Shen Yi had to borrow another amount from Merrill.

Zhou Yiyu was responsible for borrowing money. He knelt half way in front of Merrill with the flowers he bought with his points. As if proposing marriage, he borrowed money and did not get a chance to kiss Merrill on the back of his feet.

A small military factory was completed on the sixth day and a large number of mines were produced and laid on land within two kilometres of the perimeter of the wall. These mines are generally harmful, but can be effective in preventing some insect species from diving underground. Without the presence of outposts, these insect groups could not be detected and could only be replaced by landmines.

When the construction of the base reached its eighth day, the wall was finally fully constructed, covering more than 70 kilometres, with the gap partly on top of the fortress.

The Broken Blade Team began to reinforce the fence and only upgraded to two levels due to limited points.

Before the insects arrived, Shen Yi allowed the workers to dig an air defense hole and hide in the event of a war. These workers can all be paid in advance, and if they die without a pension, they have to be re-recruited, and instead they have to pay a large sum of money, which requires careful protection - that is the conscience of the capitalist.

Considering the lack of energy shields to stop the bugs that came from the air, the other plants were temporarily abandoned and were destroyed anyway.

There were adventurers from other bases during the construction to see the liveliness. At first glance, only six people from the other side came up and built it. Most of them were despicable, ostensibly congratulated, left contact details, called me when they said they needed help, and then went back to wait for the destruction of this base.

Conscience is better at figuring out how to bid when the time comes.

There are also bad intentions about getting a vote.

As time enters the ninth day, the long-awaited insect attack finally arrives.

The Sky Battleship returns an alert: "Alarm! Alert! Found Bugs, Found Bugs, Moving Toward Us, Everyone Get Ready for Resistance! ”
