Chapter Ninety-Seven: Establishing a Base Let go of the heart of the sand scorpion's lair
In fact, Lin Chen didn't like these four choices very much, but now there is a shortage of manpower, and the resources he carries are not enough, so he can only choose one to build the base first, and then slowly expand or rebuild.
After looking back and forth for a while, he finally chose the second one, building a medium-sized castle first.
Making a choice, Lin Chen sat on the small shoulders of the Mountain Giant King again, and directed him to go back and forth between the hills a few times, explaining to him the contents of the drawings, how to change the terrain, and so on.
The little wisdom of the Mountain Giant King is not low, but he is not a descender, where can he understand such a complex drawing, he may not know how to start without him explaining it.
When he was sure that he understood, Lin Chen jumped down from his small shoulder and watched from afar to see how he changed the terrain.
The two-headed ogre, the brothers Akron and Akulon, and Lin Luoy were also following him, and they were also curious.
Although the Earth City in the previous world was also built by the Mountain Giants, it was built a long time ago, when the grandfathers of the two brothers, Akron and Akulon, may not have been born yet, so they had not seen how the Mountain Giants changed the terrain.
The small pupils of the huge mountain giant king bloomed with a divine light like substance, his arms were raised high, and yellow divine light erupted from the cracks in the body made of rocks, and under the action of invisible power, a small mountain located at the edge actually melted directly, and under his power, it turned from hard rock into soft mud, and then was lifted by him, strode towards the area he had demarcated in the middle of the mountains, and fell directly between the two hills to fill it.
"Lying down...."
Lin Chen opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak, he saw a small plan, he was going to move all the surrounding hills to the middle of the mountains, fill them between the hills, and directly move the mountains to rebuild the peaks, wanting to build a tall city wall with these hills as the base.
This kind of handicraft...
"I like it!"
Watching the mountain giants rumble back and forth, their huge size has a terrifying weight, even if the mountains are full of rocks, every step down is a rockstorm, like a landslide and a crack.
Looking at the mountain giant Wang Xiaoxiao transforming the terrain with ultra-high efficiency, Lin Chen was extremely fortunate to have such a subordinate, this ability and efficiency, this can be used as at least ten construction teams, I don't know how much construction time and labor costs he will be saved, this alone can save him at least more than 1,000 eternal points.
Building a castle in the normal way is not a small amount of money just for the basic blanks.
Moving mountains and land, changing the terrain, the movement can be heard clearly even if it is ten miles away, especially when the small and huge body is moving, it is vibrating step by step, Lin Chen sits on the top of a small hill, can clearly feel and see, the gravel in front of him will jump every once in a while.
In the same way, it also alarmed the aboriginal sandworm people of this world.
Not long after the renovation plan began, the two-headed ogre brothers who were on guard on the top of another mountain found a team of sandworms approaching this side, Lin Chen climbed to the top of the mountain and looked over, there was a small group of sandworms on the wasteland about a thousand meters away from the hill was secretly looking over here, and vaguely saw them pointing fingers, but they couldn't see their expressions clearly from too far away, and it was impossible to know what they were talking about.
After thinking for a while, he patted the waist of the two-headed ogre brother and said:
"Keep an eye on them, watch them in other directions, and let me know if you see them in number."
The two-headed ogre Akaron touched his bare head and asked with some hesitation:
"How much, master?"
"Ten is too many."
The ogre's IQ is average, even if he has two heads, he may be a little stronger than ordinary people, and his orders to Lin Chen can be as simple as they are, and his positioning is also very simple, that is, a fierce general, a powerful thug, in addition to fighting, other living ogres who are too complicated can't do it.
For the same number, he directly said that fifteen hundred two-headed ogres might have to think about it to understand, but he said fifteen hundred, and he might be easier to understand.
Probably afraid of the mountain giants who walked around the mountains, although these sandworm people gathered more and more, they did not have the courage to step forward, but only dared to watch from a distance.
Of course, it is also possible that Lin Chen has not shown any harmful actions for the time being, with the simple IQ of these sandworms, they can't see what he wants to do for the time being, and by the time they can see that Lin Chen is building a castle to prepare to live here for a long time, the castle has already been built, and it will be too late for them to do what they want to do by then.
The sun rises and the moon sets, and even with the ability of the Mountain Giant King to build, it took five days and five nights to build the outermost wall of the castle.
The mountains with a radius of nearly three kilometers have shrunk a large circle, and the small peaks outside are all carried by small fossils into the center, and the central peaks are filled and transformed on the basis of the central peaks, and a high-walled city with an average height of more than 20 meters and a width of more than 10 meters has been built, with an internal diameter of more than one kilometer, and there are three small peaks inside.
Now that the base is ready, the next step is to build a base castle inside the city walls, as well as other buildings.
Of course, before that, it is necessary to let Xiaoxiao re-fossilize the ground in the base into mud and compact, and then turn it into hard rock, so as to seal all the possible caves underground, so that no sandworms can get into the original holes.
Standing on the top of the central hill, looking at the rough city walls that were tight all around, even if there was not even a single city gate opened, Lin Chen also felt a full sense of security.
Even if there are no defenders on such a high wall, ordinary sandworms can't climb in, and when some defenders are recruited, the base will be much safer.
The city wall has no gate for the time being, and there is no need to open it, because there is no gate, at least for a short time.
With the two-headed ogre Akron and the Akulung brothers, they patrolled the high city wall, followed by the mountain giant Wang Xiaoxiao, who was level with the city wall, and instructed Xiaoxiao to smooth out some of the too uneven places on the city wall with his hands, and try to trim some of the places that were too spicy to the eyes, not to be smooth and smooth, at least to be able to see it.
After making a round, Lin Chen set his eyes on the city wall and began to consider the location of the castle and the orientation of other buildings inside the base.
The base is just starting, he doesn't want to make it too complicated, in addition to the castle equivalent to the lord's mansion, he also needs to reserve the location of the barracks, the location of the warehouse, the location of the armory, the location of the teleporter, and the location of the barracks, the first four are the most important institutions when a territory is first established, and the others can be slowly established later.
The location of the castle was a good choice, he directly clicked on the highest of the three hills in the city and drew a circle, and the mountain giant king began to build it with a rumbling past.
The so-called castle is equivalent to a city within a city, the walls are a little shorter, a little thinner, and the inside is a little more refined, after all, the lord lives.
Of course, the requirements can't be so high now, Lin Chen's requirements are very simple, let Xiao Xiao help make a rough embryo, first build the outer wall shelves, and the buildings inside still rely on the professional engineering team to build, now get a few stone houses to shelter from the wind and rain first.
As for the other key buildings, the barracks were placed on another hill to the right of the castle, surrounded by a stone wall, the barracks were placed behind the barracks, the storehouse was on the left side of the castle to the bottom, and the armory warehouse was placed in the right corner behind the castle, and a large area was vacant, which would be used to build an ordnance warehouse in the future.
As for the teleporter, it was placed in front of the castle, in a large square in the center of the base.
The four important buildings are not far apart, and they are all enclosed by stone walls, which together occupy about half of the base, and the other half is left alone for the time being, and we will talk about it later.
After doing this, Lin Chen came to the wall where the barracks were located, there was a clearing in the center, surrounded by simple stone rooms, and there was nothing in them for the time being.
According to his order, the mountain giant Wang Xiaoxiao dug a large pit about twenty meters in diameter and five meters deep in the center of the barracks, and the edge was petrified into extremely hard granite, which was all filled with fine sand, that is, a large sand pit, and walking in it felt like walking in the desert.
He did it just because it was the terrain that the scorpions liked.
He also has a sand scorpion nest in his hand, which he has never used to hide before, and now that he has opened up his own territory, it is time for this treasure to come into play.
Stretching out his right hand and opening his five fingers, a dark vortex unfolded in the palm of his palm, and the dark black arched up, from which a yellow ball of light was drilled, and through the yellow light, it could be seen that inside was a prismatic crystal that was dripping and rotating, which was the heart of the sand scorpion's lair.
Heart of the Sand Scorpion Lair: A one-star mid-grade monster lair, invest resources to summon a sand scorpion rated as a one-star mid-grade to fight for you.
Attributes: Produce 20 Sand Scorpions per month, and each Sand Scorpion recruits requires 20 Eternal Silver Coins.
Tip: Sand Scorpion people have a wide range of diets, including grass roots, plants, fruits, insects, and small animals.
Tip: This Lair Heart can be upgraded to a level that consumes 100 Eternal Points, and ten first-order spirit stones can be promoted to the Heart of the Sand Scorpion's Lair of the Second Order, which can produce more powerful Sand Scorpion warriors.
Evaluation: A low-end Hive Heart of some value, but if it can be promoted, it will be a good combat power.
"Love sandworms?"
Seeing the attributes of the heart of the nest again, Lin Chen's face suddenly showed a strange look, it seemed that the aborigines of this world were sandworm people, and he didn't know if the sand scorpion people would love to eat it.
Just as the sand scorpion people are evolved sand scorpions, the sand scorpion people should be evolved sand worms, and sand scorpion people love to eat sand worms, and they must also love to eat sand worms.
"Yes, definitely!"
Lin Chen nodded seriously, he still had great expectations for this, if this was the case, not only would the sand worm that inspired the sand scorpion's popularity be saved, but it was also possible that the sand scorpion would be directly restrained as food.
Standing on the big sand pit in the center of the barracks, Lin Chen held up the prismatic heart crystal representing the heart of the nest in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Activate the Heart of the Hive!"
The prismatic crystal immediately lit up with yellow light, and a voice that directly acted on his sea of consciousness sounded:
"Are you sure you activate the heart of the nest?"
Lin Chen replied categorically:
"Activate!"
As soon as the words fell, the prismatic crystal in his hand quickly bloomed with dazzling light, quickly expanded, and soon submerged his entire palm, he withdrew his hand, and the yellow light that had been the size of the basin did not fall, but was suspended in mid-air and continued to increase, until he first saw that big before stopping, recondensed a prismatic crystal up to three meters between the upper and lower vertices suspended in the air three feet in the air and rotated, the soft yellow light landed on one end, and the other condensed into a yellow pillar of light rising into the sky nearly 100 meters high, which could be seen from afar.
At the moment when he activated the heart of the nest, a yellow pillar of light suddenly rose in an underground crack dozens of kilometers away from him, and then the yellow pillar of light vibrate, and a deafening roar came from the crack in the ground, the valley shook, and quickly extended into the distance, the barren earth sand grains jumped, and the holes spewed out streams of yellow sand, and a sand worm man of different sizes drilled out of the hole and looked in the direction of the roar.
The mutant Lin Chen in the distance didn't know that he was still happily standing around the heart of the sand scorpion lair that he had just put down, looking at the familiar sand scorpion symbol imprinted on the six sides of the crystal, which represented the heart of the sand scorpion's lair, and when enough resources were invested, the sand scorpion could be recruited.
As the owner of the heart of the nest, Lin Chen can clearly sense the heart of the sand scorpion's nest in front of him, and can control the heart of the nest from a certain distance.
"Recruitment panel."
He snorted lightly, and a light curtain panel popped up in front of him, as if it was a game, which clearly displayed the basic information of the sand scorpion's lair, such as the belonging of the nest, recruitment information, the basic information of recruiting creatures, promotion conditions, etc., he could operate the heart of the nest on this panel.
There is nothing in the heart of the nest that has just been put down, and the sand scorpion man who guards the heart of the nest does not bring it with him, but needs to be recruited by him and then put it in to guard, and the internal space of the heart of the nest of the first order can store up to a hundred sand scorpion guards, and now there is not a single one inside.
However, you can recruit sand scorpions, you can recruit sand scorpions as soon as you start building them, there are twenty in total, and when you recruit twenty, you can't continue to recruit, and you will only refresh and continue recruiting after the next month on the day you build the heart of the nest, or the owner of the heart of the nest will set the refresh time to synchronize with other heart of the nest.
Twenty sand scorpions can be recruited to fight for him in a month, twenty silver each, a total of four hundred silver, that is, four gold.
This price can be said to be very cheap, twenty hundred percent loyal and obedient, even if the order is sent to death, the subordinates who do not blink an eye only need four gold, this is not an ordinary deal, anyway, Lin Chen did not hesitate to summon all the twenty sand scorpions in one breath, and then stood aside and waited.
This recruitment is not an instant twenty sand scorpion people come out, give birth to a child also in October to conceive a baby, although the recruitment is much faster, but it also takes a certain amount of time, he stood by and watched a pillar of light in the center of the nest crystal slowly rise, until it rose to the top of the crystal, turned into a huge sand scorpion light cluster flew out and landed in the sand in front of him, and soon condensed to form a familiar sand scorpion man, honestly lying motionless in front of him.
