Chapter 136: The Power of the Sigma Sea Clan

In my opinion, the elders of the Sigma Sea Clan consulted together, and Ayana quickly settled on it with the interference of Ayana. The main reason why the Sigma Sea Race is attached to the Merfolk Race is the lack of self-protection and production capacity, and this race can be said to have no door except technology. Their production capacity is so poor that even self-sufficiency is a problem, and they have to rely on outside races for food and some subsistence supplies. But it's the food that counts. The individual strength of the Sigma Sea Clan can be described as the lowest in the ocean, and the number is definitely not large. Although their research ability can identify many weapons with great destructive power, the naturally timid Sigma Sea Clan has a hard time even gathering the people who can operate combat equipment, and combat is an almost impossible task for them. Based on the above situation, they finally agreed with me, after all, it seems that there is nothing inappropriate about this construction.

Once you've decided on your intentions, it's time to think about how to set up a teleportation channel, because I'm still stuck here! However, the problem was quickly solved, after asking the elders of the Sigma Sea Clan, we actually have no restrictions on teleportation here, which means that I can actually use the Ring of Love to summon the Rose, and the Rose also has a phoenix dragon, as long as she brings a teleportation array here, she can establish a teleportation channel to Tianyu City here. No matter how deep the location is, this place is at least in France, Tianyu City has an exit in France, and there should be no big problem connecting the teleportation array here.

After connecting to Min's Ring of Love and telling her about the situation here, Rose asked me to wait for a while, after all, she couldn't run around with the teleportation array, and she had to go to the production unit to get the teleportation array. While Jewel was on his way to the teleportation position, I had the elders of the Sigma Sea Clan take me to their library and establish their race's affiliation to our guild. The moment the affiliation was established, I heard a long-lost system prompt. "Congratulations to the Frost Rose Alliance for gaining a new race, and let's start reloading guild information. ……”

A series of guild data loading prompts swiped my information screen like a waterfall, and I had to open the information bar and wait for it to finish and then turn back to the top to look at it one by one.

In fact, there is not a lot of information about the new guild just loaded, mainly in two aspects, one is the guild map and guild history, and the other is guild technology. Guild maps represent the size of the area that a guild will explore in the game, and the main sources of other lands are the maps that all players in the guild explore and the maps opened in guild quests, and maps can also be obtained by purchasing maps from other guilds or conquering other guilds. However, it should be noted here that the premise for conquering a guild to obtain a map is that the other party has a guild library and you have successfully captured it, and if the library is destroyed before being charged, you still won't get anything.

Once the guild map is obtained, it will be automatically backed up in the guild database, if your guild has its own city and has established a library in it, then the members of the guild can go to this library to download the map here, relying on this map to learn about the distribution of monsters in some areas and the general route of action and mineral distribution and other things, but the download of the guild map is not constant, if you exit the guild, the guild map you downloaded will automatically disappear, Of course, the regions you have explored will not be erased, but the maps of the regions you have downloaded and have not explored will be erased.

In addition to maps, the historical database is also an important guild resource, and similar to maps, historical materials are also stored in the zài guild database, and when the guild has a library, guild personnel can also download the historical materials in the guild materials. However, unlike maps, historical data does not help you find your way and distinguish monster areas, but rather helps you reach and complete quests. Many of the missions in Zero will only be touched if you have the corresponding historical material saved, and some missions will also use some information to progress through the process. Let's take a more common example. The history of Atlantis itself is a high-impact mission, and if I didn't have the historical information of Atlantis, then I wouldn't touch this Sigma Sea mission today, but would directly fight with the other side, or carry out the mission in another way. As for the use of historical data in tasks, this is even more common. For example, linguistic materials are an important part of historical materials.

Many of the tasks in "Zero" will encounter all kinds of strange words, and you can't understand these words without corresponding historical materials, and if you can't understand the words, it doesn't mean that you can't complete the task, but at least the difficulty will jump up several levels in a row, so how much you have mastered history is also a table of the guild's strength.

However, while maps and history are important, it is technology that can quickly make a difference. But unlike the first two attributes, technology isn't used by all guilds. Just as players have their own ranks, guilds have their own ranks, except that this level is not a number but a rank. The lowest guild is called a squad-level guild, the higher level is the alliance level guild, the most advanced is the organization-level guild, the fourth level is the local power level guild, the fifth level is the national guild, and our guild belongs to the sixth level of the regional overlord-level guild. In order to have the ability to use resources such as technology, you need to have at least a third-level guild, that is, an organization-level guild. Even if you get scientific and technological materials from the first two levels of guilds, you can't use them, because you can only build research institutes at the third level, of course, the research institutes at this level have limited capabilities, and you can't use too complex technology. But at the level of our guild, it's different, as long as you get the relevant information, you can basically study any technology, it's nothing more than two things, time and money.

Just now, after the Sigma Sea Clan joined, a large number of new technologies suddenly appeared in our guild's technological achievement database, and its content was so much that it needed to be divided into several categories to be displayed, but what surprised me was that these technologies were almost all focused on the extraction and utilization of magic crystal energy. Although the purification and transformation technology of the magic crystal stone are very important, you can also blindly stare at this research!

"That ......!" I called the Sigmar Sea Clan Elder to me. Then point out the technical data pedigree and show him. "Why is all your technology focused on these two aspects?"

"There's a reason for that." The Sigma Patriarch explained, "You know that, too. Our Sigmar Sea Clan's specialty is technology development, not production. It can be said that we Sigma Sea Clan members are all born scientists. But in other ways

Not at all. Due to the fact that it has been separated from the merfolk for too long. We've been almost exhausted for a long time. There is no real material, no matter how smart we are, we can't make anything out of thin air! Fortunately, this place has a large reserve of magic crystal ore veins. It's just that the purity is on the low side. Therefore, under the premise that there is only one material, magic crystal, and under the pressure of survival, we focused our research direction on the energy extraction and conversion rate of magic crystal. In this way, our research will not stop. And the results of these research can also be immediately applied to our actual production. It has practical use value for us. Other technologies, even if we can come up with them. Without materials, it is still impossible to produce. So we simply gave up on those aspects of research. ”

I nodded. It seems that the Sigma Sea Clan was also forced to carry out lame technical research. Fortunately, the technology in these two areas is not too wasteful. First, the magic crystal energy is extracted. This technology is somewhat similar to real-life metro ore mining. If your local production technology is poor. In the same way, there is less land you can refine than others. And with good production technology, the factory can even extract iron from the slag that you can't use at all. Magic crystals do not need to be extracted from though. However, the energy in the magic crystal needs to be extracted. We compare the magic crystal to an energy storehouse. If the energy of the earth is one hundred. With our current technology, we can probably extract about forty tons of energy from it. As for the other sixty units, it's not that they can't be drawn out of the magic crystal. Rather, it is lost in the extraction process. At present, our guild will carry out a small range of extraction in the real yàn room, and it is possible to reach 50% of the extraction ratio. However, in large-scale production, it is not possible to use the real yàn room method for extraction. Therefore, the extraction rate has not been raised. In fact, the ratio of our guilds is quite good. Generally, a small guild can reach a 35% extraction rate, which is considered a mistake. We're five percentage points more. That's equivalent to every 100 tons of ore, and we are equivalent to making an extra five tons of ore. This account is still very cost-effective.

Although our guild land extraction rate is already among the best among the guilds. But compared to Sigmar Sea Clan technology, it's a waste of ore. Because the Sigma Sea Tribes are technically mass-produced, the extraction rate is 89 percent. That's more than twice as much as we are.

What is this concept? This basically means that we can now use one ton of ore as two tons. In the end, there are left. What a terrible usage rate! After reading this ratio, I quickly told Rose to stop all the Demon Crystal Energy Extractors in the Guild. It's all money!

In addition to the extraction rate, the conversion rate is also a major level in the use of magic crystals. Just as in reality, there will be power loss in the process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy or thermal energy, and after the magic crystal energy in the game is extracted, there is also a huge waste of energy consumption when it is converted and utilized, and this waste is relatively strict. At present, the magic crystal energy is generally converted into mechanical energy and magic energy. This mechanical energy is relatively simple, just like an electric drive machine, but the game uses magic energy. This mechanical energy conversion is more common on the Guild's warships and puppets, and the magic energy is mainly responsible for two aspects, one is defense and the other is offense. The city shield relies on the energy extracted from the magic crystal to operate, and the magic energy weapons in the city also rely on this energy to attack. The conversion of mechanical energy in the operation of these energies is the most problematic part, compared to the conversion of magical energy. At present, the conversion rate of our guild to convert the magic crystal energy into the magic energy used in weapons and shields is about 70%, which means that more than 20% of the energy will be consumed before entering the attack or defense. Worse still, the wasted energy is not gone, but converted into free energy, which not only does not participate in the beneficial function, but interferes with the protection of the shield and the accuracy and power of the magic cannon, which means that the wasted energy is actually counterproductive. In terms of mechanical energy conversion, the current conversion rate of our guild is fifty percent, that is, half. After two units of magic crystal energy are transmitted to the mechanical converter, only one unit of mechanical energy will be output, and part of this energy will be wasted due to adverse effects such as friction, and the actual effective work done in the end is really low to the point of misery.

Although the conversion rate of our guild is so low, we are still the absolute boss of Taishan Beidou in the current application of magic energy. However, looking at the conversion rate of the Sigma Sea Clan, the conversion rate of mechanical energy is 97.8%, and the conversion rate of magic energy is ...... Infinitely close to 100 percent. With a near-zero loss conversion rate, this leap not only saves energy, reduces the power consumption of weapons and shields, but also greatly increases their firing power. Without the interference of free energy, the weapon system will be more accurate and destructive, and the shield will be stronger.

In fact, the two conversion rates I see are only the main research directions of the Sigma Sea Clan, and they also have a secondary research project that is not very prominent, but very important, magic energy transmission technology.

"Can you do long-range wireless energy transfer?" I asked, looking at the Sigma Sea Clan elder in amazement.

"It's not long-range, the current practical distance is only eight kilometers, and no matter how far it goes, there will be a severe energy attenuation."

"Eight kilometers? Enough is enough! "Whaha, the biggest problem of tying up our guild has finally been solved. Our guild has always wanted to produce a large number of strong battle puppets to replace NPCC mercenaries to participate in the war, firstly, the puppets are cheaper, and secondly, this thing can be used repeatedly, even if it is broken, it will not be wiped out, and there is always something left in the arms and legs, as long as it is disassembled and reassembled, it can be restored to the original state, so that the average efficiency will be much higher than that of NPCCs. But the dynamics that drive high-level puppet warfare have always been a big problem. The normal red-veined magic crystal can only drive purely physical attack type puppets, and there is a limit to the time of use. The Colorful Magic Crystal is very powerful, but unfortunately this thing is more difficult to find than a two-legged toad, and if you want to produce it in large quantities, you can't even think of it. But now the problem is solved. As long as there is a transport vehicle equipped with an energy converter and a transmitter in the puppet group, it can support the puppets within a range of eight kilometers to continue fighting, although it is still not very convenient, but at least it can be put into practical use. "Bring me that transmitter." I shouted excitedly, but Elder Sigma poured a basin of cold water on my head.

"Now I'm afraid we won't be able to meet your request!"
