Chapter 276: Cosmos Ring
On the first day of December, after Lu Shuang made a tour around the island, he came to Fuhai City again, but this time he did not come so loudly as the first time, nor did he inspect the people's livelihood, but came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the naval barracks in Fuhai City.
A long time ago, in order to strengthen the naval training in Iron Sail City, Lu Shuang went to the ultimate grocery store in Luoyang to buy an architectural drawing of the naval barracks. This kind of naval barracks is the ultimate barracks, but the price is twice as much as the architectural drawings of the ultimate barracks, and one will cost 2,000 gold. The ultimate barracks is a general-purpose barracks, whether it is infantry cavalry, spearmen and archers, or naval forces, you can train in it, but the effect can only be said to be average. The naval barracks are a kind of military barracks that have been specialized, which is specially used to train naval forces or navies, but it is almost impossible to train other arms.
Lu Shuang plans to build Fuhaizhou into a base integrating low-end manufacturing, shipbuilding industry, naval training and maritime logistics transshipment, and the construction of these four aspects can naturally not be achieved overnight, but can only be done step by step, step by step. The first step in carrying out naval training is to build a naval barracks first, and only after it is built, can the second step be completed.
Although the temperature in the Yangtze River Delta region in early December became much colder, it still could not stop people's enthusiasm. The workers involved in this project are treated very well, and the contractor not only gives them a satisfactory salary, but also provides a certain amount of meat every day, and if they need to carry out the water operation, they will also provide some rice wine to ward off the cold. Although Lu Shuang doesn't know whether there is a scientific basis for drinking alcohol to ward off the cold, seeing the happy appearance of the workers, perhaps the psychological effect is more effective than the physiological one.
The naval barracks are divided into two parts, land and water, and according to the design of the architectural drawings, as long as there are sufficient manpower and building materials, it can be completed in 20 days. However, considering factors such as temperature, weather, and the difficulty of water construction in winter, as well as the fact that there is no large-scale recruitment at present, and it is impossible to let new recruits participate in water training in winter, the task will be completed as long as it is built before January.
Chen Qi is a king-level military general with SS qualifications, and he is also the second batch of admirals in Iron Sail City. In the perennial suppression of pirates and escort missions, Chen Qi successfully comprehended the emperor-level mastery only by his own ability, and at present, because of the limitation of the internal strength level, the strength is 93 points of force value of the king-level general, given time, no one will doubt that Chen Qi has become a top emperor-level general.
Although Chen Qi is currently only a king-level general, because he comprehends an emperor-level mastery, Lu Shuang also regards him as an emperor-level martial artist. Counting Chen Qi, Lu Shuang has a total of two emperor-level generals in the navy, and the other is Zhou Bai, who is now a veritable emperor-level general.
Due to the immeasurable strategic value of Fuhaizhou in the future, Lu Shuang planned to arrange an emperor-level military general to be in charge of Fuhaizhou's defense affairs. Zhou Bai was mainly responsible for the affairs of Tiefan City and Yizhou, and Lu Shuang intended to transfer Zhou Bai to Tiefan City as the commander-in-chief of the navy, so the responsibility of guarding Fuhaizhou fell to Chen Qi.
This time he was accompanied not only by civilian and military officers, but also by thirty ships and two hundred four-masted galleons, as well as hundreds of warships of various kinds. In the current period, a naval fleet of this size, as long as it is not an NPC force with strong naval strength, Chen Qi can protect Fuhaizhou unscathed. And even if there are NPC forces to attack, the navy of Iron Sail City can rush to support within half a day.
......
After finishing the affairs of Luoyang and Fuhaizhou, Lu Shuang finally had time to spend all the 150 million points in his hand.
After serious discussions with his subordinates, everyone analyzed that under the current situation, the first thing is to improve the combat capability of the generals in the territory. In addition, there are not many items that can be exchanged by the system, and most of them are still combat-oriented items, so Lu Shuang just wants to exchange some non-combat-type items and doesn't know what to exchange.
The fastest way to improve the strength of an army is nothing more than to increase the rank of soldiers and generals. The soldiers of Flying Sky City are mainly of the seventh and eighth orders, which is almost the ceiling of the strength that ordinary soldiers can reach, and then there is the world of special troops and ninth-order soldiers. But even the seventh- and eighth-order soldiers, in any force, are the main force, and even the Han Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army of the imperial court are not necessarily all composed of seventh- and eighth-order soldiers. And there are no items in the system that can be exchanged to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, not even the equipment production blueprints used by soldiers.
As for the fastest way to improve the strength of an army, that is to increase the rank of generals. Take a field encounter as an example, if one side has a king-level general and the other side does not, then the side with the king-level general will easily break through the other party's defense, which is the gap between the king-level general and the special general. Although the victory or defeat of a battlefield is related to many factors, a general with a king-level military general or even a higher-end general will gain more initiative.
The establishment of the army of Flying Sky City is five people and one captain, ten people and one captain, one hundred people and one hundred commanders, five hundred people and one five hundred masters, one thousand people and one general, five thousand people and one captain, and then the commander of the legion.
At present, the total population of Flying Sky City is 18 million, and the number of soldiers in the main army will definitely not be less than 2 million in the future, and 400 captains will be needed by then. However, a 2 million army cannot be built overnight, and even conscription and training take a long time, and the goal at this stage is only to increase the number of troops to about 1 million first, and about 300 lieutenants will be needed at most.
In the system, you can exchange points for king-level mastery, only 2 million points for a book, and it is acceptable for you to exchange money or points for mastery. After some calculations, Lu Shuang finally spent 500 million points to exchange for 250 general-purpose king-level masteries. In this way, not counting the number of king-level generals in the navy, plus the mastery obtained by killing the Yellow Turban generals some time ago, the army will have a terrifying number of 300 king-level generals.
What is the concept of 300 king-level generals?
In Feitian City, that is, in the army of 1.5 million, every lieutenant can be a king-level general!
You must know that even among the top ten guilds, the number of king-level generals they have will not be very large. As strong as the God Killer and Kyushu City, the number of king-level generals in their territory will not exceed thirty, and the weaker ones are only a dozen or so king-level generals.
It can be imagined that when these 250 king-level masteries are all digested, there will be 40 king-level generals in a legion of 200,000 people, and there will be one king-level general for every 5,000 seventh-order soldiers. Even if it is placed in any NPC force, it is impossible to have such a luxurious configuration, at most 200,000 fifth- and sixth-order soldiers with a king-level general.
In addition to the army, Lu Shuang did not forget to develop the high-end force of the navy. However, the difference between the navy and the army is a bit big, and the battles between the enemy and us are almost all carried out by ships and ships, soldiers and soldiers, and the generals are relatively few who fight on the front line.
Spent 20 million points to exchange for 10 Navy-used King-level Peerless Studies, and spent 80 million points to exchange for 4 Navy-Purpose Emperor-level Peerless Studies. In Lu Shuang's calculations, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are each assigned an emperor-level military general to be in charge, and the Yellow and Bohai Sea areas and the sea area between Yangzhou Huiji County and Yizhou are also each assigned an emperor-level military general to be responsible, and just four emperor-level generals are needed. And Zhou Bai and Chen Qi are two emperor-level generals, the former is mainly in Tiefan City, and the latter is in Fuhaizhou.
With a large number of high-end forces, Lu Shuang did not forget to equip them with suitable equipment and weapons. However, an epic-level equipment requires more than 10 million points, and a legendary-level equipment requires more than 100 million points, and mythical-level equipment cannot be exchanged in the system. And the number of epic and legendary equipment that can be exchanged in the entire China region is fixed, that is, if Lu Shuang exchanges a piece of legendary equipment, then there is one less legendary equipment that others can exchange.
The reason why epic and legendary are rare and precious is not only that their attributes and effects are far stronger than platinum-level equipment, but also because of their uniqueness: all epic-level, legendary-level and mythic-level equipment cannot be mass-produced, so they need sky-high points to redeem one.
But platinum-level equipment is different, black iron, bronze, silver, yellow turban, and platinum-level equipment can all allow life classes to be mass-produced by learning to make drawings, such as the obsidian armor and ancient ingot knife equipped in the Flying City army are silver-level equipment.
All in all, 200,000 points of platinum-level equipment can be exchanged for one piece. In order to make the upcoming 300 king-level generals exert their greater strength, Lu Shuang spent 60 million points in one go and exchanged for 300 platinum-level weapons. As for the armor, in fact, the obsidian armor can also be used improvised, or Lu Shuang will make a blueprint for the production of gold-level armor and change the costumes of the generals in the territory.
Of course, epic equipment still has to be exchanged, after all, if you miss this village, you won't have this store, and Lu Shuang doesn't dare to bet that the system will always have such activities in the future. So, in addition to the equipment of Tai Shici, Zang Ba, and Xu Sheng, Lu Shuang exchanged for Wang Yue, Wang He, Cheng Hui, Zhou Cang, Chen Lang, Yu Wenchao and Sun Ping, the commander of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, for each of the seven people, and he also exchanged an epic armor for himself, after all, Lu Shuang already had a legendary weapon, the Longyuan Sword.
After spending 80 million to exchange for epic equipment, Lu Shuang had already exchanged 740 million points, and there were 310 million points left. Among the remaining points, Lu Shuang used them to exchange for some items that were relatively rare in their Flying City, such as a 200,000 points of the special internal strength heart method, and he spent 200 million points to exchange for 1,000 copies, intending to divide them equally among the 10 legions, one hundred copies for each legion, which was used to cultivate the special internal strength to the ninth-order soldier for the legion leader's personal guards.
In this way, there are only 110 million points left, and Lu Shuang exchanged 80 million points for a lot of specialties and talents, including blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, shipbuilders, merchants and other professions, as well as military generals, civil officials and other related ones. However, these special talents are all general-purpose, and the effect will not be very good, so it can only be said that it is cheap and helps to a certain extent, and it adds up to a lot. The average price is around 200,000, and 80 million points can be exchanged for about 400 specialties or talents. Those more powerful talents and specialties are all developed by themselves, such as carpenter Liu Hua's specialty "Divine Bow", which is a very good specialty.
In the end, the remaining 30 million points, Lu Shuang spent on himself and exchanged for an epic space ring called the Huanyu Ring. This kind of epic item is often much, much more expensive than equipment, but the effect is also very powerful. There is a space of 100,000 cubic meters inside the Huanyu Ring, which cannot be filled with living animals, and the amount of entry and exit per minute is limited, and the volume is up to 10,000 cubic meters, that is, it takes ten minutes to fill or unload.
The calculation of the built-in space of this Huanyu ring is calculated based on the actual volume of the object, for example, if you put a bottle in it, it will not calculate the volume vacated inside the bottle, but only the volume of the bottle wall and cap.
A total of 1.2 billion points have been redeemed, and these items exchanged in Feitian City can actually be regarded as one of the trophies of the Yellow Turban Army, after all, they are obtained by killing the Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban General. With these items, Skyburst City will grow into a behemoth at a terrifying rate, above all player forces.
