As for the force that left the city mentioned in the previous chapter, it needs to be explained that this is not a city defense force but a temple guard composed of angels. Remember when Vena asked Purple Sun to go through the troops? Purple Sun gave all the angels of the Temple of Light captured in the battle to Vina as the temple guard. The Temple Guard is dedicated to the service of the Lord God and is not limited to location. The forces that attacked Issinger in the Temple of Light belonged to the Temple Guards, and those who remained during the later attack on Sky City were the city defense forces. City guards are not allowed to leave the vicinity of the city, but the Temple Guards are not restricted.

I didn't bring anything with me when I came here with Rose last time, but this time I came prepared. Crystal beetles are released and begin to gnaw on steel, these little ones have a soft spot for hard things, and gnawing on steel is like eating cake. According to Walmart's main points, we first need to determine the reserves of steel. This is done by first calculating the amount of steel in the trees and then calculating the steel reserves under the ground.

The average height of the trees in the forest is about 270 meters, and the average diameter of the bottom of the trees is 19 meters, but the trunk is thinner and thinner the higher it goes, and there are forks or something that cannot be measured uniformly, so we roughly calculate a tree as a regular cylinder with a diameter of 14 meters and a height of 270 meters. In this way, the volume of a tree is about 41,563 cubic meters. The specific gravity of iron is 7.86, but this is steel, because some special materials are mixed with the specific gravity dà is about 7.81. In other words, the weight of this tree is about 324607 tons. After measurement, the entire cave is oblong in shape, with a total area of about 14,400 square kilometers, of which the Sand Forest only occupies an area of about 10,000 square kilometers. These steel trees are very large, a tree covers an area of about 900 square meters, which means that excluding the gap between trees, only about 1,000 trees can be held in one square kilometer, and the entire forest has about 10 million trees. In this way, it can be calculated that the steel reserves of these steel trees are about 3,246.07 billion tons. A battleship with an unloaded displacement of 100,000 tons is amazing, right? The aircraft carrier is less than 100,000 tons empty! If all this steel was used to build warships, at least 32.46 million warships could be built. With so many ships, one person will cost tens of millions of people, and we simply won't need so many warships, and certainly won't build so many warships. According to the capacity of our guild, there are a lot of warships from one to two thousand, and even if all of them build warships with a weight of 100,000 tons, 2,000 warships are only 200 million tons of steel.

After I finished the calculation, a German mm next to me was surprised and said, "Isn't that one tree enough to build 3 ships?" We don't need the whole forest at all, even if we need to build 2,000 warships, only 600 trees will be enough. ”

At this time, Walmart also said: "It seems that we don't need the steel that is dug into the ground, and it is enough to get these trees back." ”

"I think since there are so many reserves of steel, why don't we try the synthesis of gold beetles? Let them eat the steel, and maybe they can get a harder material. ”

"That's a good idea, try it!" Walmart was thrilled when she heard it.

I hurriedly asked the crystal beetle to do the real yàn. Command the golden beetle to climb to the top of the tree and start gnawing on the tree.

Xiaoyao Daodao asked, "Why don't you put it down and eat it?" So we can see it! ”

"A tree is more than 300,000 tons, and you can help it?"

"Oh!"

The speed at which 1.2 million crystal beetles gnaw on things is indeed terrifying, and a tree is gnawed away in less than an hour. When they finished eating, I instructed them to spit out the synthetic product, and what came out was a black substance. When the thing was big enough, I picked one up and looked at it, and it showed that it was the material and the properties. I read out the properties. "Ink steel, the product of steel demonization, the surface is black and dull, it can be smelted, the melting point is slightly higher than steel, the hardness is more than twice that of steel, and the specific gravity is 7.9 slightly higher than steel."

"Good stuff!" Walmart sighed: "The hardness is more than twice that of steel, which means that when the thickness is only half of the steel plate, the ink steel plate is stronger, and the steel plate to achieve the hardness of the ink steel plate must be more than twice the thickness of the ink steel plate." ”

Another German mm said: "Isn't the crystal beetle of the president worn out every time?" Let's see how many come out? ”

When she said this, I quickly asked the crystal beetle to gather the ink steel that was spitting out, and I was startled. More than 320,000 tons of steel will come out after eating, and more than 3,200 tons of ink steel will come out, and the output is only one percent. Fortunately, there is a lot of steel here, and one percent can withstand it. Isengard's Dockyard only has 4 slots, which means that you can only build a maximum of 4 Docks. Based on the size of the slots in Isinger, a shipyard should be able to have 4 shipyards. It's a game, building is fast, but you can only build one ship a day per shipbuilding station. 16 warships require a maximum of 1.6 million tons of steel, and the crystal beetle only produces 3,200 tons of ink steel in 1 hour, and I feel that the output seems to be a little unable to keep up with consumption! Why don't I have enough crystal beetles?

Seeing my face, Walmart asked, "What?" Is the situation bad? ”

I nodded. "The output loss is only one percent, and 1.2 million crystal beetles can only produce nearly 80,000 tons of ink steel a day at full power, which is not enough for even a super-large tonnage warship."

Walmart comforted me, "You don't have to be so upset, the battleship is not entirely made of steel, and there are still many parts of the hull made of other materials. The shell of a battleship built with 80,000 tons of black steel is consumed, and the internal parts should weigh more than 100,000 tons, and the full load displacement of such a battleship will not be less than 500,000 tons, and the length of the ship may exceed 1,000 meters. The Americans' Iowa-class battleships are only 45,000 tons and have a length of more than 290 meters, which is already one of the top three battleships in the world in terms of displacement, so we don't need to build such a large battleship, right? The full load displacement of an aircraft carrier is less than 100,000 tons! What are we doing when we make that big? ”

"I don't want to build a battleship to standard specifications, we have an advantage in thrusters, a lot of thrust, and we don't have to think about speed. Moreover, our naval guns are too big, and if the battleship is not large, accurate shooting cannot be guaranteed. ”

"You don't want to build a bunker on the sea, do you?"

I laughed and said, "Isn't that smart!" I just want to build a bunker on the sea. Regardless of the load, I ask for the thickness of the armor of our battleship to be doubled, because of the hardness of black steel, the actual hardness of our battleship is 5 times that of ordinary warships, and the thickness of the armor is only 2 times. Do you calculate how big it is to build such a warship with 80,000 tons of black steel? ”

Walmart did the math a little. "The armor is doubled, and the special defense of important parts is still 100,000 tons. In this way, the full load displacement is about 150,000 tons, and the length of the hull should not exceed 700 meters. Oh my! Can such a battleship run fast? ”

"Let's build a real one first, and the thruster custom-made in Atlantis has arrived anyway."

"Let's go back and talk about this, I'm a little dizzy."

"Haha! Okay, let's go back and talk about it. ”

After a busy night, we finally built several large teleportation arrays, and because they will be changed in the future, this time we built temporary teleportation arrays. After dawn, a large number of craftsmans, NPCs, and players crowded here to get to work. Because there is no need for walls and defenses, there is no most expensive and laborious thing in the construction of the city, and the construction speed of the steel city is surprisingly fast. After daybreak, the Steel City was busy, and I took Walmart back to Isengard.

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, a large group of players appeared outside the city of Isengard, and the players of the guild all had standard equipment, and the people outside the city were dressed in a mess, and at first glance, they were not from the guild. Our guild has very little contact with the outside world, and it stands to reason that there should not be a large group of people entering the vicinity of Isengard, so Vader cautiously ordered to be on guard and found someone to inform me.

_________________________________________

By the time I reached the city wall, the procession had reached less than 3 kilometers outside the city, and it looked like a convoy of no less than 3,000 people. There are a large number of wagons among these players, and judging by the ruts, the wagons are not light. Now it seems that these are not here to attack us, 3,000 people are not as many as our guild players, not to mention that there are NPC guards in the city, even if the flat ground decisive battle alone can deal with our players. No one would be stupid enough to attack a city like Isenger with 3,000 men, and I haven't heard of anyone fighting with so many wagons!

I told Vader to pay attention, but I didn't need to be too nervous, and I went to the inside of the wall and stood at the half-open window of the wall and looked at the passage of the gate. Although there is already artificial intelligence, but NPCs can't be completely human after all, in order to prevent accidents, I arranged for players to stand guard at the door, and the shift is rotated every half hour, but fortunately, there is only one external gate for Issinger.

At this time, the four players are standing at the gate in full gear to guard the city gate, but none of them are wearing helmets, which is to make it easier to distinguish. Of course, the guards can't just use the player, the player is only responsible for commanding, and if you really want to encounter the enemy, you still have a high-level NPC. At this time, there are two columns of NPCs standing neatly on both sides of the door, each column is composed of 8 Seraphs, 2 sub-god knights, 20 Blood Lords, 50 Night Watchers, and 200 Blood Skeletons. Whenever something goes wrong, these people will block the enemy and the player will call them out using the guild channel. In addition, Hongyan's residence is also very close to the city gate, and he will arrive immediately if there is a battle, and if he is there, don't expect to rush in without 10,000 people.

The team of players slowly reached the outside of the city, and the five players on horseback left the group and ran first. The 4 mms of our guild who are guarding the door have already stood in the middle of the road, and the NPCs in the back have also realized that these people have problems and are standing behind these 4mm, and if something is wrong, they can immediately save 4 players.

Probably frightened by this formation, the 5 players outside didn't dare to run too close. The knight in the lead stopped, followed by the four men behind him. The knight shouted to this side, "Is this Isengard?" ”

"Yes. What's the matter with you? "Now only 1 of the 4 mm guarding the door is Chinese, and of course she is responsible for speaking." For the time being, only Guild players and NPCs are allowed to enter and exit. ”

"Your guild defeated the Temple of Light some time ago, right?" The knight asked.

All four of our guild's mm's hands were on their weapons at the same time. "What do you mean?" The NPCs behind the MMs have pulled out all their weapons.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just verifying." He gestured to the convoy behind him. "These are the war reparations that the Temple of Light needs to pay you, but they themselves were punished for not being able to leave the city, so they hired us to transport the goods."

Suddenly, my private chat rang out. "President, we are the guards of the city gate, and a team of players just said that they were escorting ......!"

I interrupted her. "I'm right at the window above you."

When she heard my words, she looked up, I beckoned to her and said in the private chat: "Let them in first, I will send the NPC guards to come and watch, three thousand people can't make any trouble." By the way, check the vehicles, there are a lot of terrorists these days, and it wouldn't be good if they pulled explosives. ”

The MM couldn't help but laugh a little, and then closed the private chat. "Come in, but the vehicle will be inspected."

"No problem, it's your stuff anyway." The knight was easy to talk to.

Player mm waved his hand forward, and the blood skeletons behind him all ran out. The convoy passed guò one by one, and the blood skeletons inspected the vehicles one by one. In a few moments, the entire convoy was driven into the city.

"What about your president?" The knight leading the team asked.

The doorkeeper instinctively looked up at me, this stupid girl, a word is exposed. I quickly flashed back out the window, presumably they didn't see it. Quickly teleported to the teleportation array near the city gate, and then walked out of it. Pretending not to know what to do, he shouted, "What's wrong?" Vader called me over in a hurry? ”

The Chinese mm opened his mouth to defend something, but the German mm next to him reacted quickly and held her down. "President! This knight has sent the last part of the reparations to the Temple of Light, and we have made them enemies at first! ”

"Oh! Is the material coming? That's great. I turned to the NPC guard next to me and said, "Get your stuff to the warehouse, and don't forget to check the list." ”

"Yes!" The guards immediately began to leave with the convoy.

The knight captain took out a scroll and handed it to me. "Please sign for the receipt, here press the confirmation that our transportation is completed."

As I looked at the contents of the scroll, I asked, "You're players, aren't you?" ”

"Of course!"

"Didn't the NPC transport team transport all the goods in the past?"

The player said: "The Temple of Light has been grounded by the system, and now all the NPCs of the Temple of Light can't get out of the city. ”

"Isn't the convoy a free NPC?"

"But recently, there have been a large number of thieves outside the city, and it is extremely unsafe for supplies to leave the city, and the temple must protect the convoy, but they can't get out themselves, so they have to hire players to come out. In fact, there was a player escort team a long time ago, but at that time, the bright NPCs were not restricted from moving, we were generally responsible for small transportation, and now we are responsible for even large sales! ”

"Aren't they afraid that you will be guarding and stealing from you?"

"You think NPCs are stupid? We have paid a security deposit equal to one-tenth of the value of the goods, and we have all been identified, and if the item is lost, we must pay all the losses or we will be wanted by the system. When the Temple of Light was not grounded, there were also small escort teams that had been guarded and stolen, and at first they thought it was just the Temple of Light wanted by them, and they thought that they could hide from the dark forces. As a result, after doing it, I went to the Dark Temple to control the city, and the NPCs over there actually said that these players belonged to people who had no reputation, and the Dark Temple didn't want people who didn't keep their reputation, so they were blasted out. Later, those players were hunted down by other players hired by the Temple of Light. The Temple of Light is not the same as the player, the player generally asks to kill a few times when the reward for chasing and killing, the Temple of Light is an unlimited number of kills, you kill him once and get the money once, so it is equivalent to killing the player back to the novice village before it is over. The unlucky ones finally returned the things in fright, and only then did they revoke the order to hunt and kill, and since then no one has dared to guard and steal, and all thieves have resisted desperately. By the way, there are also temple believer NPCs in the team, and that's it. "The knight secretly pointed it out to me." He is not a member of the Temple of Light, but he listens to the temple, and every escort has such NPCs to follow, and the temple relies on them to determine whether the guards are guarding and stealing. ”

"No wonder!" In private chat, I heard the player in charge of the verification say that the items were complete, so I pressed OK on the delivery slip and handed it back to the knight. "Alright, thank you. Isinger is currently in a state of war, so we don't accept tours, so you can have a meal in our cafeteria if you wish, or leave if you don't. We have a teleportation array, so we don't have to go back. ”

"Thanks, we've had dry food. The teleportation array can be borrowed from us. ”

The players on the way to the teleportation circle kept looking around, and Isengard's building was too grand for them. Compare the buildings of Issinger's city to skyscrapers with hundreds of floors, and those in other cities are bungalows. Although we really wanted to visit, we didn't keep anyone, and these players had to be sent away by us.
