The black steel ram had begun to burn because of the high-speed friction with the air, dragging a long red tail flame, and the ram's 100,000 tons of dead weight and speed produced nearly 10 million tons of impact force, and everything that dared to block its return to the earth was lightly crushed under this irresistible force.
Like a trailer that rushed into the crowd with the maximum throttle, the steel pillar made contact with the upwelling ghost army and went all the way down without pause, smashing a large number of surging ghost troops back into the ground. From our side, we could see that the steel ram sank into the ground in a flash, and then a shockwave centered on the point of impact immediately spread out in all directions. Despite being prepared to resist the impact, our people were still overwhelmed. All the buildings in the city that survived the attack had not escaped the catastrophe, and the walls and houses had collapsed in the places where the shock wave had passed, and nothing was spared.
Seeing the rolling waves of earth rushing out of the city and spreading outward, our side of the formation was swept away by the shock wave one after another, and the giant mosquito outpost shook for a while, almost tearing me off my head. Matsumoto Masaga's middle city was not spared, and the shock wave rushed all the way to the walls on their side. Although the distance was too far for the shock wave to lose its initial power, the walls still shook violently, and many soldiers standing on the edge of the walls fell over. Matsumoto Masaga's feet also shook and almost fell.
As soon as the shockwave ended, the loudspeaker on the Spider Fortress rang out loudly: "Hurry up, rush." ”
The soldiers frantically scrambled to their feet and rushed to the point of impact, and the Spider Fortress and the Ant-Fortress were quickly attached, but they saw no enemy except a few wounded soldiers. The ram created a huge crater with a radius of 100 meters and a depth of four or five hundred meters near the point of impact. There is a large hole in the very center of the bottom of the pit. It stretches down like a well. This large crater is caused by the air pressure around the ram, and the shaft in the middle is caused by the ram itself. The high-speed rotating ram drove the ghost army maker deep into the ground like a piledriver.
Everyone was looking down at the ground, but suddenly the ground started to shake. The Spider Fortress relied on its long legs to stand directly on the top of the big well and looked down, but they only saw a red mass under the pitch-black deep well. We're seeing this at the Giant Mosquito Outpost here, and one of the players is still stupidly asking, "What is this?" ”
Su Mei suddenly jumped up and shouted at the crystal communicator, "Flash! It's magma! ”
The loudspeaker of the Spider Fortress sounded a warning that had been transposed, and all the soldiers scattered and ran in the direction of their own formation. As soon as everyone arrived outside the city, there was an immediate bang in the big hole in the middle of the city, and a fountain-like red lava flew up more than 300 meters high, almost knocking down the giant butterfly city that was descending in height.
Eagle looked at the lava and shouted in surprise, "Holy? How did you hit the magma layer? The earth's crust isn't that thin, is it? ”
I naturally explained, "South Korea also rubs against the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic zone. There are several volcanoes here, and it's normal to have a shallow lava river. The big guy had hit at least a kilometer deep, and he must have gotten into the lava layer. ”
"Then why is it erupting now?" The eagle still doesn't understand.
"Because the ram blocked the exit." Somi explains: "The ram was melted during that time, so it didn't start erupting until now. Look at this posture, this volcano and erupt. We're completely free of trouble. ”
The Hammer's attack was so powerful that it succeeded in destroying the machine, but it also destroyed the city indirectly. The eruption of boiling lava lasted half an hour, and a semi-condensed volcanic rock with a pungent smell of sulfur took the city's place. Matsumoto Masaga and Tanaka Shota looked at this big volcano speechlessly, we were about the same, I didn't expect such a result at all.
"I feel like we're losing money this time!" Rose looked at me and said.
"Loss?"
"The material and transportation cost of that ram is not cheap, and it seems that there is no possibility of recycling. Ay! 100,000 tons of raw steel! What a pity! ”
"It's gone, it's gone, anyway, we have a lot of steel. It costs so much money to ship it back, and recycling doesn't necessarily save you. ”
"But there's still there!" Rose pointed to the lower side.
I slapped myself on the head: "Oh my God! How to forget about them! ”
The city that the Korean guild was responsible for attacking has not achieved any results so far, and the Japanese ghost army and the Korean guild's troops have started a tug-of-war on the city wall. According to the manufacturing speed of the Japanese ghost army. The only result of this war of attrition is the complete collapse of the Korean players.
Eagle asked the operator to turn the display camera to the battlefield over there, and it was really distressing to see the fierce battle on the screen. Hongyue couldn't help but ask: "How many Heavenly Soldiers are left of the more than three billion crystal coins that the Koreans bought this time?" ”
Rose looked roughly at the battlefield and said, "No more than a third." They don't have our war fortresses to suppress enemy firepower, and they refuse to destroy the walls, this kind of strangulation is the most laborious! Damn the Japanese ghost army, why are there so many? ”
"Speaking of the Ghost Army, do we need to figure out what is going on with this Japanese thing?" Eagle took the message sent by Ling Yuan from Japan and said, "According to the analysis, it seems that this machine also needs to consume certain things to create a ghost army. That is, this is not a gratuitous manufacture. Why did the Japanese create such a large army? Are they fighting for our money with their own money? It doesn't look like it! ”
I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly I had a solution. "Wait a minute, I'll ask an acquaintance to help me check it." Pulling the rose: "Come offline with me." ”
Eagle asked curiously, "What acquaintance do you ask?" How do you check this? ”
"You'll know when we get back. Don't worry, it's almost an hour. You first have the team assemble and count the damage. ”
Quickly got off the line and took off the helmet, and I ran directly to the general management room with Rose. Rose asked me curiously, "What the hell are you going to do?" ”
"Audit." I said as I pressed my hand to the identification terminal.
The electronic voice quickly sounded: "The highest level of access to the permission to pass guò." What needs to be done for you? ”
"Check the flow of funds in the last 10 hours, showing the inward remittance of funds in all Asian regions."
The numbers on the big screen were displayed in a bunch of messy, and it was too fast to look at them. I immediately narrowed it down again and said, "Check the flow of money for the online game Zero." Retrieve the import. ”
"374.4 billion operation records have been searched, are all of them displayed?"
"Search the part from the Bank of Japan."
"There are 1.2 billion records left." The electronic voice answered my questions quickly.
"It's still too much!" I shook my head and worried.
Rose understood what I meant, and she walked up to the screen and said in my place: "Search, identify by transaction style, and filter the five most frequently traded units." ”
"Warning, voiceprint capture not permitted. Please verify when using the service. "The resource computer is not as intelligent as the central host, and the work is more rigid.
I pulled Rose's hand over and pressed it to the recognition screen, and at the same time pressed one of my own hands up: "High-end licensing." ”
"Tong guò. Welcome to the high-end resource computer system. ”
I gestured to Rose and continued, and Rose immediately repeated what she had just said. The computer immediately replied: "The highest frequency trading account retrieved 700 million records, of which 99.99% of the operation records came from the same trading project." ”
"What's the name of this project?"
"Ghost Army Soldier Manufacturing Fee."
I came face to face with Rose and laughed. I'm afraid there is no second person who can cheat at a high level like me. We've found out.
Rose looked at the screen again: "Randomly draw some entries to show on the screen, just fill the screen, don't scroll the screen." ”
Hundreds of records immediately appeared on the screen, and the lines were quite clear. Rose pulled me and pointed to the screen and said, "Look here." Ghost army transaction records, the number of units is formation. The Ghost Army is not produced by the numbers. It's production in formations, no wonder it's so fast. ”
"Damn, the unit price of a formation is only 1 crystal coin, no wonder Little Japan is so willing to take troops and pile up with us, it turns out that they are all such cheap troops."
Rose also frowned and said, "According to this calculation, we will all suffer if we use artillery shells to attack them." A shell is not as expensive as a shell, and it is a big loss. ”
I clicked on one of the entries and said, "Show this one separately and keep the most detailed record." ”
The screen suddenly showed this to a full screen, and the relevant information was written on the full screen. Rose surprised and pointed to the number on the screen: "Look." The base of a formation is twenty, and one soldier is worth five silver coins! ”
Again, I said: "Change the operation to show the trading time of ten consecutive operations." ”
The picture changed again, and the ten records that came out were continuous, and they were all this purchase record.
Rose counted down the time: "The first one is ten twenty seven minutes and fifteen seconds, and the next one is three three three." Below is three three eight, each transaction is only 0.001 seconds apart, which means that this manufacturing machine can make 20,000 ghost soldiers per second, no wonder it bubbles up like a fountain. That machine can swipe out more than a million troops in a minute, so it's no wonder that it can hit it! ”
"Wait, wait, look here." I pointed to the following record: "The transaction numbers of these two are not the same, this is not a machine." The Japanese have two oni-army machines. So the time is spaced. It should be possible to create 10,000 ghost armies per second instead of 20,000. ”
"Ten thousand is a lot, really, how can such a perverted thing come out? What will we do in a moment? The Koreans themselves will certainly not be able to take that city, and if we have to go to the army, the losses will be too great. If you build another hammer, isn't it too expensive? ”
I looked at the screen and said, "The Japanese can get something like this." We can't let it be stored in zài, we have to dispose of it. Fortunately, this time the Japanese only used it for defense, and if they let their soldiers out and run around the mountains, our troops would not be able to stop them. ”
Rose suddenly looked at me and said, "No! Since the Japanese have such a powerful army-making machine, there is no reason why they should not send troops out to sweep up? The combat effectiveness of these ghost armies is very weak, and instead of fighting a defensive war with us, wouldn't it be more advantageous to release them to fight a sports war? There must be a reason why the Japanese do this, unless ......"
"They can't get out at all." I spoke it up at the same time as Rose.
Rose said with certainty: "Everything in the game should be balanced, since there is such a powerful machine." There are definitely drawbacks. The soldiers made by this machine must not be able to go too far from the machine, otherwise there are other restrictions. ”
I nodded, "Have you noticed that there weren't many ghost armies before our team entered the city. It is said that when we fight in a large army, the Japanese would have discovered us a long time ago. But why didn't they create some ghost army defenses in advance, and wait for us to attack before they started to do so? ”
"I don't think it's that they don't want to build it, it's that they can't build it." Rose deduced: "It is possible that this machine can only be activated if the city is under attack, and it may be similar to our guild's point art array, which must be activated at a critical moment. ”
Another question suddenly occurred to me. "Do you remember what Park Eun said about their first counterattack?"
"You mean the first counterattack?"
According to Park Eun. When they first attacked, there were no ghost armies in the battle. In other words, the ghost army cannot be created in advance. Later, when they invaded the city, they encountered the ghost army, and more and more, which shows that the ghost army has a direct relationship with the enemy's attack. Think about it, how we ended up in the city? When I first entered the city, the refresh speed was not fast at all, and in the end, we were forced to near the refresh point little by little? But what about then? Later, the speed was out of control at all, and it was not normal at all to rush out like a blowout. ”
Rose said: "We'd better go back and discuss, Su Mei may be able to analyze the clue." This girl's brain is very shrewd. ”
"Okay." I turned around and closed the terminal connection and went back online.
Rose and I showed up inside the Giant Mosquito Outpost and shared our intelligence and analysis with everyone, and everyone immediately agreed with us. I waited for Sumi to finish listening before I asked her, "Can you analyze anything?" ”
Su Mei thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I can be sure that this machine will definitely change with the changes of the attacker. The harder we attack, the faster it works. If my guess is correct, it may be working with the will to fight. The more courageous we are, the stronger it becomes. In addition, you can draw a conclusion from what you have said. ”
"What result?"
"There is an upper limit on the number of people on this machine."
"The upper limit? Could it be that the soldiers produced still need energy support? ”
Su Mei shook her head: "I don't know what the reason is, anyway, there are restrictions on the production of soldiers for this thing." Although its manufacturing speed varies depending on our will to fight, it cannot exceed the maximum number limit. When the number of soldiers reaches a balance point. For every soldier that dies, this machine can only make another soldier, and if the ghost army does not die, then it cannot continue to produce soldiers. ”
Rose immediately said: "That is to say, if we have a way to keep all the ghost armies out of the machine and not kill these ghost armies, then we can swagger in and destroy this machine, right?" ”
"Theoretically, that's true. But in reality it's almost impossible. It's easy to keep enemies out and keep them from getting close. But it's another thing to not hurt them in the process. Once you kill a ghost soldier, the internal machine will create another soldier to come out, so that the siege plan will be in vain. Su Mei looked at us and continued, "In addition, the inference that the enemy you analyzed cannot leave the city is also wrong. There have been several cases where the ghost army has launched a counterattack on the Korean side, so they can go out of the city. The reason why you don't use the strategy of attacking all over the mountains and fields as you said is because this machine has an upper limit of support. At the same time, the number of soldiers is limited to death, and if the ghost army without the advantage of combat effectiveness has no advantage in numbers, it will also be sent to death when it goes out, but it can fight the time difference according to the defense of the city, just to gain a local advantage. ”
"Sure enough, it's our Zhiduoxing, this has been analyzed."
Su Mei shook her head and said: "It's a pity that it's useless to analyze it, if you can't block the enemy from the outside of the machine, you can't destroy the machine, but if you block these people, there will inevitably be casualties, and once there are casualties, it is equivalent to not blocking." ”
Everyone immediately fell back into deep thought, and I was the only one who laughed. Everyone was confused by me. Rose looked at me: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh because I have a way."
"Tell me about it." Eagle can't wait to hear the way.
"It's actually quite simple. Isn't the ghost army very weak in combat? ”
"Of course we do." Hongyue said impatiently: "They killed more than a billion ghost troops in one night, and they killed tens of thousands of our heavenly soldiers, which is not a level at all. ”
"That's pretty clear." I explained, "Let the heavenly soldiers bring ropes, and when you find the enemy, tie them back." ”
"You mean to take prisoners?"
"Yes. The captives captured alive are still members of the ghost army, and they still have to occupy the population limit of that machine. As long as we grasp it slowly, we can always get the population limit back. When the time comes, the machine will not be able to be swiped out by a single soldier, and you can smash it as much as you want. ”
"That's right! How could such a simple solution not be thought of earlier? Eagle complained.
Su Mei smiled and said: "Without the information brought back by Brother Ziri, we can't analyze the principle of that machine at all, so naturally we can't think of a way." In this way, this machine is actually very rubbish, this kind of ghost army is very bad in combat, it is easy to catch prisoners, and it won't take long to be caught, and then the machine will be equivalent to scrap metal. It's just that we've been getting the tactics wrong, which is why it's so troublesome. The things in the game are basically balanced, and there will not really be such a perverted thing. It's like our war fortress, which looks amazing in battle, but the cost is even more amazing, and it can't be mass-produced. ”
Eagle said: "Then let's do the rest of the city." ”
"Don't rush it first, at least wait until the Koreans have a good time." I smiled and pointed to the command on the South Korean side: "Don't forget that we still have a bet that we won't let them understand that we won't appreciate this aid to them." ”
After deciding on the battle strategy, we began to wait for the Koreans to finish the battle, and the city in the middle where Matsumoto Masaga was sitting did not want to touch it for the time being. Our troops also need a break. The backbone of Koreans is hard enough, and they are stunned from dusk on the first day to dawn on the second day. Our army was standing nearby, but they refused to admit defeat. We've negotiated it anyway, and as long as they don't ask for help, we won't reach out. The Koreans killed dozens of people back and forth on the city wall, and they were beaten back every time, but they just didn't ask for help.
On our side, we simply let the team rest on the spot, and the NPC army is also fatigued. In the past, it didn't matter if it was an undead, but the heavenly soldiers were living creatures, and not sleeping for a long time would affect their combat effectiveness. I rested until more than ten o'clock in the morning, and the Korean troops finally had insufficient follow-up, and there were players who were forced out of the game because of their fatigue to the top, and the NPC army was also tossed by them almost, and the more than 300 billion crystal coins were raised by us to buy many heavenly soldiers, and there was not even a tenth left after this night's tossing.
When it was almost time to eat, the Korean troops finally withdrew one after another, and the presidents who had been very angry at first quietly gathered together for a meeting. Rose and I stood outside their barracks and watched them. If you have the ability, you continue to fight, and in the end you don't want to come to me for help?
Maybe embarrassed, those elders were mushrooms for more than an hour before finally turning around and coming to my camp. Rose smiled and turned around: "Tell the troops to get up and eat something, it's our turn to perform." ”
