Chapter 243: No Money Is So Painful (Ask for Subscription!) )
Why not upgrade the dungeon?
"Not enough energy." Lott shook his head directly.
It's not just a matter of energy, once the city is upgraded, all the monsters in the entire city will be promoted, and the cost will increase exponentially.
Now a large-scale invasion by foreign enemies could occur at any time, and energy must be stored just in case.
The most important thing is that with the expansion of the territory, the area that Lot needs to protect is also getting larger and larger, and two scarabs must be placed on the side of the Grand Cemetery alone to guard the teleportation arrays in the two human territories, not to mention other places.
And if it is to deploy 5th order knights, because the territory area is too large, they can't take care of it even if they break their legs, and the magicians need a lot of energy to open a teleportation array, or a fixed type, and the enemy may appear anywhere else at any time to carry out mobile harassment operations, which will appear quite passive in terms of reaction to the enemy.
Only missiles and artillery can be used to deliver firepower at the first time to ensure the stability of the area.
It is also necessary to say that the monsters in this continent all put their level to the 4th order, just because this stage is the highest height that adventurers can reach, just like the number of carnivores will only increase with the increase of herbivores - against the 4th order adventurers, the 4th order monsters are enough, if they are promoted to the 5th order, they may scare people away, and the energy expenditure is too large, and the income cannot keep up, and in the end, it will have to close the door.
As for why the monsters overseas are also level 4, it's just because they don't have such a thing as energy, and they just rely on themselves to rub up little by little.
Even if they spend a lot of effort to go up to the 5th order, the number is simply a small hand, and they will still end up drowning in the sea of the 4th order corps.
To sum up, for the time being, the 4th Order, whether it is energy expenditure or corps operations, is in line with the law of development at this stage - everything must be based on the existing conditions, and it can be more advanced, but it must not go beyond the range, otherwise the damage will be great.
“”
Well, having said all that, it's just because there is no money
"What do you command, my lord?"
The Black Knight appeared at the door of the throne room of the Grand Duke, and Lott beckoned him to come over and study the defense of the entire cemetery, and there would be a tough battle later.
After Vader inquired about the information in the hands of Lower Lot, he began to carefully plan the panorama of the Grand Cemetery in front of him.
In terms of military things, Lott just knows a little bit about it, after all, this is the job of the knight of the throne, don't rob other people's bowls of rice.
In order not to disturb Vader's work, Lott asked the hovering camera to cancel his hologram and connect it to the Scarab's upper war room, so that the artificial intelligence could further assist the Black Samurai to complete the deployment.
Inside the dungeon realm hall
Maria glanced at the large screen in front of her, then turned to look at Lot, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, and asked, "My lord, how long will it take for the knights?" ”
"Who knows, this matter will not be rushed." Lott shook his head slightly, then looked up and asked, "Wiki, how long is the enemy coming?" ”
"About 1 hour and 26 minutes."
There is still 1 and a half hours of preparation time, which is enough.
At this time, a notification came from Vickers that the aircraft-type scarab had been completed.
"Your Excellency." When the goblin stood in front of Lot, it didn't look like it had changed much from when it left, except that the white coat on it had changed again.
"This is the latest type of scarab information, please take a look." With that, Vickers handed over the file.
Lott took it and saw that it showed a lot of data that he didn't quite understand, but there were a few things that he understood:
The internal space has been reduced, and the naval guns and vehicles have been removed, and other weapons have been more or less reserved for self-defense, and then the interior can carry 150 combat saucers, but since the large mecha does not have a certain self-protection ability, it is necessary to deploy multiple tank mechs around to protect it.
"I don't know if it's progress or regression if it's changed like this."
Lott looked at it for a long time, muttered softly, then looked up at the goblin and asked, "If I want it now, what price?" ”
"The main combat force of the aviation scarab depends on the combat flying saucer, and the flying saucer has been reduced to 10,000 as much as possible, but the carrying capacity inside is slightly smaller."
Lott listened to it for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "How much?" ”
"2.4 million units, and the surrounding tank guards have to be counted separately." Goblins spread their hands, no way, although the research and development funds this time did not use much, but the cost is indeed high.
Lott glanced at the energy display in front of him, which was slowly rubbing to 5 million, and finally covered his heart to prevent his voice from trembling, and said, "Get me one."
"Yes, but it may be late at night when it's done."
"No problem," Lott replied quietly.
The price of aircraft has always been so expensive, and the cannon giant ship will eventually be replaced by aviation aircraft, so this money
“”
Lott tried to convince himself in his heart.
In the past, you could have a scarab with explosive firepower for only 1 million, but now you need 2.4 million to buy the same one, what is the difference between this and the previous one?
Perhaps, time will verify this, after all, the first person to propose the need for an aviation-type scarab is his own knight of the throne, the advice of the military advisor, no matter what, you still have to listen to it.
"After that thing comes out, how do you get it to the front?" Lott asked.
When Vickers heard this, he scratched his head and spread his hands, indicating that he had not thought about this problem.
╭╮Are you kidding me?
In the end, after studying for a long time, it was said that 10 transport flying saucers were used to fly that thing, but there may be a lack of power and the steel frame structure of the lower abdomen falling off in the middle of the way, which means that it will have to spend more money to develop.
Hearing this, Lott glanced at the 2.62 million points of energy left on the monitor with tears in his eyes, and suddenly began to fall into the communication between heaven and man, should this money be spent? What if there are other moths?
Lott fell into deep thought, and Maria next to her waited for a long time, and couldn't help but say:
"My lord, I can help you if you need it."
"Huh?" Lott was puzzled for a moment, turned his head strangely, and asked, "Do you have a better way?" ”
Halfway through that, Lott suddenly realized, yes, Maria could show up and carry the big guy with the saucers, but
Lot: "Do you have that much strength?" That's more than 30,000 tons."
Wickers: "Your Excellency is now 80,000 tons"
Lot: "That's more than 80,000 tons, so don't force yourself." ”
The apron inside the Aviation Beetle is equipped with a levitation device that allows the flying saucers to float there, otherwise the 150 flying saucers combined are simply not something ordinary can lift.
And those transport flying saucers that can load more than 500,000 tons of goods, they themselves use the cargo compartment inside to carry things, not hanging below, and their lower belly steel plate structure has not been designed by relevant aspects at all, and the amount is small, but if it is 80,000 tons of scarabs, it may make its lower belly steel plate fall off directly.
This is the end of it, and now the energy is getting sluggish, and I can't afford to lose a single one.
Therefore, if you really want to transport the newly made scarab beetle to the front line, then you can really only look at the white dragon.
When Maria heard this, she smiled and raised her arms to show that she had strength.
Lott subconsciously glanced at her biceps flex - the clothes were in the way, and Lott would have liked to see it if he could.
"Then it's up to you tomorrow."
"No problem!"
"Your Excellency." At this time, the AI said, "The deployment of the knights has been completed. ”
