Chapter 307: Full Upgrade
"Hongde, you go and assemble the fleet, and once the Southern Cross fleet is ready, set off immediately. Our Wei family's territory is some distance from the Megal star system, and it will take more than 20 days for the fleet to arrive, during which I will contact Prince Walker, Marquis Kane, Marquis de Lamont and others, I believe that when you reach the edge of the Megal star system, my side has already completed the negotiation. β
"20 days, big brother, will that kid run away in 20 days?" Wei Hongde suddenly thought of a very important question. In case his fleet arrives at the Meigar star system, that kid has already patted his ass and left, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?
"Hmph...... I've thought about this for a long time, Lancelot's guy doesn't look young, but he's a figure who is prouder than his father. What would he do if he knew that there was such a traitor in his territory who was a great threat to the Empire? If you count from the time Marion occupied the Harto Star Port, more than half a month, even if you take the fast shuttle, you have only just arrived at the Megal star system at this time. As long as he told SΓΉ Lancelote his identity, His Excellency knew what to do. β
"Ha, hit the snake and hit the seven inches, capture the thief and capture the king first, just control his brother and sister, that kid will inevitably show the fox's tail." Wei Hongde is a martial artist, which does not mean that he has no brains, and the classic military books of Huaxia are not less read.
"Yes, as clever as Lancelot, he would definitely think of this trick. Then, in order to save his loved ones, the kid will inevitably ignite the war again, as long as this battle starts, it will not end in a day or two. For Lancelot, this was an attractive challenge. The boy blew up Na'vi, causing heavy losses to the Thunder fleet, and then crushed the Crotan garrison of the Marquis of Kane. Such a record is comparable to that of the twelve leaders of the Garcia Resistance, Marion, Bill, Krisugad and others. β
"If you can catch such a guy, you can not only please His Majesty the Emperor and prove his ability to all the nobles, but also humiliate us who have missed three or four times. Of course, transferring the prey to Prince Walker afterwards will deepen the relationship between Duke Yadan and Prince Walker. Solidify the position of the Ferguson family. As smart as Lord Lancelot, he would never let go of such a good opportunity. β
"So, you see...... It's actually easy to hold that kid down. If Lancelot is lucky enough to catch that kid, no matter how strong he is in the limelight and how strong he is, so what? What is the benefit that the Surrogate promises us? If he is unlucky, he will be beaten by that kid and cry his father and mother. Our Southern Cross fleet is his savior, and he must obediently open the door and let his father's enemies save his life. β
Wei Hongde squinted at Wei Hongguang: "Big brother, you old ...... Ahem, ahem, ginger is still old and spicy......"
Wei Hongguang casually threw the PDA to him: "Okay, let's go, study the performance of those combat units on the way." β
"Got it." Wei Hongde agreed. Walk briskly out of the room.
Wei Hongguang sat on the sofa and did not move until it was dark outside the window. The room slowly darkened, but he picked up the special Pu'er tea on the table and took a sip, revealing a leisurely expression. This arrangement was something he had thought about for a long time.
β¦β¦
When Wei Hongguang racked his brains to calculate Lord Lancelot, he didn't know that he didn't need to bother so much at all, and it was not necessary for Lancelot to delay, in order to treat Tang Lin. The Tang side must hold out for another 20 days.
He didn't know that the Wei family had gathered a large number of naval forces to completely wipe him out with the power of thunder. At this time, his heart was almost all on Tang Lin.
Grant is still with Quinna? Austen worked hard, it almost became his job, and sometimes he would be as polite as an aristocracy. Sometimes I will be as calculating as the aunt who buys vegetables at the entrance of the vegetable market, and I can't spend a dime in half. This annoyed the female director, but there was no good way to deal with it.
After more than a week like this, one afternoon, Grant, who had been very indifferent, suddenly found Tang Fang angrily and asked the euglena to hatch a few mimic chicks for him to dispatch. Tang Fang said that he was very curious why Grant, who had always been good-tempered, was angry, but after asking for a long time, the professional-level dad was stunned and didn't understand for a long time.
But it turned out that Kunna? In order to grasp his weaknesses, Austen went from the temptation of money and power, to the seduction of women, and then the full set of food, pedicure, bath, and ISO.
In the end, the female director suddenly had a wild idea, she began to doubt Grant's sexual orientation, and then, just this morning, arranged for him N+1 male servants. N stands for Pseudo-Niang, Tough Guy, Zhengtai, Uncle, and even an old man who has lost most of his teeth. As for the 1, well...... It's a person, a demon.
Grant felt that he had been insulted, and for a good man, it was an absolute disgrace, a disgrace that could not be tolerated, and could not be tolerated. So, in the next few days, tankers loaded with zero source elements drove into the compound of the institute.
Aros, Haosen and the others were puzzled, not knowing why the military suddenly changed their temper and honestly offered so many zero source elements. Ask Grant, he was vague and refused to say it explicitly, which made Bai Hao and Roy scratch their heads and ears day by day, fidgeting, as if they had a boil under their buttocks.
What did he do, only Tang Fang knew that the command of this thing mimic chick changed into a vote of researchers, lined up from the left corner to the right wall, and he carried a pistol in his hand to shoot his head all the way from left to right, which scared Kunna into a colorless face, so that he agreed to stop, but the premise is that the government first gets some zero elements to deal with emergencies, because the energy supply of the institute is somewhat insufficient.
Of course, the lack of energy or something is pure nonsense, and this is just a pretext for him to glorify his extortion.
Tang Fang felt that Grant was more like a qualified kidnapper than himself. The honest man launched a rush that called a ruthless ......
However, that's right, if he doesn't do this, where to get so many zeros, blackmailing the government is the most profitable.
Five tankers totaled 30 tons of zero source elements, and Tang Fang found a warehouse to park them. 5 worker bees were summoned to hatch into an extraction field, and in less than half an hour, the gas resources in the system space increased by as much as 3W.
30 tons of zero element is equal to 3W of gas, that is to say, an average of 1 kilogram of zero element is 1 point of gas.
After the counterattack, 5 more cans of zero elements were absorbed, and the current resource has reached 457545. 90945γ
After coming out of the warehouse, Tang Fang patted Grant on the shoulder and told him to continue working hard, then shook off the stunned crowd and went back to his room.
When Grant, Roy and the others walked around the warehouse, the whole person was messy, and the 5 cars were gone, and they disappeared out of thin air.
This thing is not a drink juice Wuliangye, and it has only been half an hour that 30 tons of zero elements have been gone. Even if you take it to the bath, you won't need it that much......
Roy and Bai Hao were curious about how so many zeros disappeared, but Grant was extremely painful, the market price of 1KG of zeros was 50,000 MYD, and 30 tons was 1.5 billion MYD, hundreds of millions of banknotes were gone, and the effort was gone in the blink of an eye.
Is it easy to get two dollars back by yourself? In the blink of an eye, he was defeated. When will this day of torture be the head......
"Quinna? Austin, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see! "Grant didn't treat Tang Fang. transferred all the resentment to the female director.
At the same time, on Quentin Island, 30 tons of zero vegetarian were sent, and the governor who was in an extremely unhappy mood was pouring fire on the noble lady. Roger who could have lasted half an hour? Philip was like a mouthful......
"What's wrong with you today?"
Quinna? Austin blushed and shook her head, "I don't know. β
On the other side, Tang Fang was not interested in explaining to a few people, and when he returned to his room, he immediately put his mind into the system space. Now there is 457545 crystal, 90945 gas in hand. It's also time to upgrade your technology.
He clicked on the scientific research buildings in turn:
In the Terran Base: Engineering Station, there are five upgrade options for "Infantry Weapon LV1", "Infantry Armor LV1", "Steel Frame", "Instantaneous Auto-Tracking", and "Building Armor". The first two are upgrades for the Biochemical Unit, which can be upgraded three times. The last 3 are Terran bunkers, anti-aircraft missile towers, and building upgrades.
At the moment, buildings cannot appear in real space, and the last three items do not need to be upgraded for the time being. So click on the first two in turn, and add "Infantry Weapons" and "Infantry Armor" to the upgrade sequence.
After about 10 seconds, a hint is sent that the upgrade is complete. When Tang Fang moved the cursor to the engineering station again, due to the lack of the Terran building "Armory", the Level 2 "Infantry Weapons" and "Infantry Armor" were all gray locked.
"Emma, can you calculate the attack and defense bonuses to biochemical units after upgrading?"
"COMMANDER, ACCORDING TO THE CALCULATIONS OF THE STAR RAIL COMMAND CENTER, ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF THE CURRENT HUMAN INFANTRY WEAPONS, THE MACHINE GUNNERS WHO HAVE IMPROVED THE PERFORMANCE OF WEAPONS AND ARMOR ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO PENETRATE 100MM OF HOMOGENEOUS STEEL, WHICH CAN CAUSE STRONG DAMAGE TO LIGHT ARMORED VEHICLES LIKE THE SABER-TOOTHED TIGER. PROTECTION HAS ALSO BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED, WITH THE IMPROVED CMC-300 POWER ARMOR BEING ABLE TO WITHSTAND 20MM CANNON FIRE. β
"yes, got it." DON FANG IS STILL VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS RESULT, THE MACHINE GUNNERS WHO CAN RESIST 20MM CANNONS AND KILL LIGHT VEHICLES ARE ALREADY VERY STRONG, AFTER ALL, THEY ARE ONLY INFANTRY UNITS. If it were a raider, the attack power would probably be stronger, and they could shatter the shell of the armored car with a few shots before they upgraded, but now? I'm afraid two or three cannons will blow him up.
If the "Infantry Weapon" is upgraded to Level 3, I wonder if the Marauder's Inquisitor Grenade will be able to explode a main battle tank like the "One-Horned Rhino". What if the "Infantry Armor" is upgraded to level 3? Heavy armor units such as raiders and fire bats are probably not able to resist most artillery shells and small missiles except for armor-piercing shells.
Next, he shifted the cursor to the annex of the barracks, the technology room, which has a total of 7 upgrade options due to the addition of Interstellar 1's Nurse MM and Pyro, which are, "Riot Shield", "Doping", "Concussion Bomb", "U-238 Shell", "Restoration", "Optical Flare", and "Kyulls Reactor".
Among them, "doping" and "concussion bombs" have been upgraded, considering that there are dual medical units of hospital ships and nurse MM for battlefield treatment, Tang Fang has postponed the technological upgrade of nurse MM, and only added "anti-riot shield" and "U-238 shell" to the upgrade sequence.
AFTER UPGRADING THE RIOT SHIELD, THE HEAVY WILL RECEIVE A COMBAT ALLOY SHIELD THAT IS UP TO 30 MM THICK. The material is vanadium alloy carbide armor. According to Emma's calculations, the Combat Alloy Shield provides the Heavy with greater battlefield survivability. MACHINE GUNNERS WHO HAVE UPGRADED THE "INFANTRY ARMOR" CAN RESIST 20MM CALIBER BULLETS, AND WHEN PAIRED WITH THE "RIOT SHIELD", UNLESS IT IS A HEAVY SNIPER RIFLE LIKE THE EMPIRE'S "THOLNIR", IT IS DIFFICULT FOR WEAPONS BELOW 27MM CALIBER TO CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE TO THEM. Provided, of course, that the machine gunners are not stupid enough to stand still and let the enemy strafe them.
As for the "U-238 shell". It is a layer of U238 depleted uranium wrapped around the metal nail, so that the muzzle velocity and average flight speed of the bullet are higher than other ammunition, and the penetration is stronger than that of ordinary bullets.
Originally, the C-14 piercing hand was an armor-piercing weapon, and as long as it did not hit the key parts such as the head and heart, it was difficult to inflict a one-hit kill on the infantry, but. With the "U-238 Shell" a qiΔ is different, once the enemy is shot, the radioactive material will quickly wear out their combat capability.
Then, he turned his attention to the "Ghost Academy", a total of 5 research projects, "Invisible Camouflage", "Fusion Warhead", "Lock", "Transplant Eye", and "Mobius Reactor".
Among them, "invisible camouflage" has been studied before. This time, Tang Fang added "locked", "transplanted eye" and "Mobius reactor" to the research sequence in one go.
In this way, the already powerful ghost is even stronger. "Lock" allows him to disable enemy armored vehicles, such as air combat units such as aerospace fighters and helicopter gunships. As long as they dare to fly low, and as soon as their pants take off their legs and squat and prepare to bomb wildly, "locking" will give them a taste of the pit.
The "transplanted eye" is an essential tool for the release of nuclear bombs. The "Mobius Reactor" can optimize the utilization of ghost energy, which can maintain a stealth state for up to 2 hours without a Mobius reactor at the level of ghost energy. Now it can be extended to 4 hours, which is a full double of that. The current ghost is the real Terran elite.
After this round of large-scale upgrades, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Terran biochemical forces has increased almost several times.
After improving the combat capabilities of the biochemical troops, it is naturally the turn of the vehicle project, because the "Armory" has not yet been unlocked. The vehicle's research items are limited to the 5 upgrades in the Heavy Factory Tech Chamber, which are the "Plasma Thruster", "Spider Ray Bray System", "Caron Regulator", "Hellfire Pre-igniter", and "Digging Claw".
Among them, the "Spider Ray Bre System" and "Caron Regulator" have been upgraded a few days ago, and this time, it is naturally the turn of the other three. The "plasma thruster" boosted the Vulture to 370 mph, nearly half the speed of sound.
The Hellfire Pre-Igniter transforms the flames from the Flame Chariot from red to blue with thermite, making it a true killer of light vehicles and mechanized infantry. As for the final "Digging Claw", the Widow Mine is equipped with more advanced digging equipment, allowing it to dive quickly.
At this point, the existing upgrade items of the human combat unit have been basically studied, and the air force unit cannot be upgraded because the attached pendant technology room of the star port has not yet been unlocked.
A large-scale upgrade of the Terran troops consumes 13,000 crystals and 13,000 gas.
After that, switch to the Zerg base, and in addition to the previously upgraded items, the current building scale provides the following research:
The "Neural Collagen Reorganization" of the Cockroach Greenhouse, the "Deep Groove Ridge Needle" and "Tendon Amplification" of the Stinging Snake's Nest, the "Ring Heart Hook Scythe" of the Explosive Worm Nest, the "Melee Attack LV1", the "Jet Attack LV1", the "Ground Unit Carapace LV1" of the Evolution Cavity, and finally the "Flying Creature Attack LV1" and "Flying Creature Carapace LV1" of the Minaret.
Without hesitation, he first clicked on the four upgrade options of "Neural Collagen Reorganization", "Deep Groove Spine Needle", "Tendon Expansion", and "Circumcarrical Hook Sickle".
"Neurocollagen reorganization" gives cockroaches faster movement speed. The "deep groove ridge needle" and "tendon augmentation" allow the stinging snake to move faster and have a longer range outside the blanket.
As for the "Ring Heart Hook Scythe", it allows the Poison Explosion Worm to roll like a leather ball, achieving the purpose of speeding up. In the battle of Lanna Military Academy, the poisonous explosion insect was sent by the Tang side to snipe the 289th Armored Division, and the tactic of dropping the poison explosion by the king worm was used at that time. Just because the speed of the poisonous explosion insect is relatively slow, it is okay to chase the infantry wearing the "guardian knight", but it is overstretched in the face of vehicles such as the "saber-toothed tiger" and "one-horned rhino". However, after upgrading the "Ring Heart Hook Sickle", it will be different, and the self-detonating eggs that will "slip" and roll will definitely become a nightmare for the ground forces of the government army.
After upgrading the unit's unique skills, he pressed the five upgrade options of "Melee Attack LV1", "Jet Attack LV1", "Ground Unit Carapace LV1", "Flying Creature Attack LV1", and "Flying Creature Carapace LV1". Since the Zerg base has been upgraded to 2 copies, after the upgrade of these 5 LV1 is completed, the upgrade item of LV2 lights up again. However, when Tang Fang moved the cursor to the "Melee Attack LV2" to take a look, the research cost made him almost bite off his tongue, 7500 crystals, 7500 gas, and the cost of "Ground Unit Carapace LV2" was even more exaggerated 11250 crystals, 11250 gas, a full increase of 50 times!
LV1 is 10 times the cost of the game, LV2 is 50 times, system, are you kidding me? Tang Fang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Emma, is the LV2 research of the Terran unit the same 50 times the resource consumption?" β
"Yes Commander, the global upgrade project of the 3 clans, LV1, LV2, and LV3 correspond to 10x, 50x, and 200x resource costs."
βFUCKοΌ 200 times the cost of resources, why don't you grab it? β
"......" Emma fell silent.
"Forget it, I'll put up with it!" Tang Fang sighed and asked, "'Ring Heart Hook Sickle', 'Deep Groove Spine Needle' or something is very easy to understand. However, how will items like 'Melee Attack LV1' improve the combat effectiveness of the Zerg after they are upgraded? β
"Commander, you can use the lowest-level puppy of the Zerg as an example, before upgrading the 'melee attack LV1', the puppy can easily shred the armor of the 'guardian knight', but for a light armored vehicle like an armored vehicle, it must be attacked continuously to tear its hard armor. After upgrading 'Melee Attack LV1', the puppy's can complete the task that took 20 seconds to complete in 8 seconds. As for the 'Flying Creature Attack LV1', it gives the Wyvern and the Corruptor stronger attack power, for the Wyvern, the average light armored unit can already be killed in one hit, even against the main battle tank equipped with the 'Super Chobham Armor', it can also achieve armor piercing within 3-5 attacks, if against small space warships, such as frigates, destroyers and other light ships, 3-5 Wyverns are enough to defeat it. Of course, if it is a Corruptor, it is more destructive, and in general, a 40-meter-long Corruptor can outperform the Empire's Hornshark-class frigates, and even compete with thresher shark-class destroyers. β
"Not bad, not bad" Tang Fang nodded with satisfaction, it's a little expensive, but it's worth the money. Let's not talk about puppies or anything, the Wyvern, an air combat unit of only about 12 meters, adds up to only 60 meters with 5 heads, and it can actually match the empire's more than 160-meter-long "Thresher" class destroyers, not to mention a powerful anti-air force like the Corruptor.
If all the Zerg units with a population of 1,000 are produced into corruptors, wouldn't it mean that they can fight against a regular cruiser fleet and a half, and if they are paired with 300 Viking fighters, will they also have the power to fight against the battleship-class mixed fleet? Emma gave a positive answer, but the winning rate was only 5.5% at most, and even if she won, it would be a miserable result.
The answer she gave was actually very vague, after all, a large-scale battle like fleet warfare, such as formation, strategy, use of weapons, the combination of various ships, the experience of commanders, the use of terrain, and other factors, were enough to determine the outcome of the war. (To be continued......)
