Chapter 17: The Pillar of the Stars
Chen You, who had regained his composure, stood inside the commander's terminal, the blue interface in his eyes flickering. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The flying squirrel combined with the holographic map flying in Chen You's eyes to make a briefing:
"The dinosaur community is located in the south-southeast direction, 5.7 kilometers in a straight line, a medium-sized highland, and the whole community has about 4 giant dinosaurs, 16 medium-sized dinosaurs, and 37 small dinosaurs. The comprehensive combat power index is 320. β
Chen You glanced at his own combat power index marked in the interface: 125.
That's a bit of a lot. If you are tough, you may lose badly......
Chen You suddenly saw something strange on the holographic map in his field of vision.
On the high ground of the dinosaur colony, there is an abrupt pillar standing in the center.
Chen You switched to the reconnaissance screen taken by the Eye Demon. Because it is a bit far away, the picture is not very clear, but you can see that the pillar is man-made. It's like a small tower, and it's like a monument.
"What's that?" Chen You freezes the picture on the pillar.
The flying squirrel replied, "This is the biggest discovery of this reconnaissance - the star pillar." β
Without waiting for Chen You to ask, the flying squirrel continued: "After the reconnaissance team discovered the star pillar, the relevant content in my database was unlocked.
The Star Pillar is a relic of civilization left by ancient civilizations on this planet, and its depth reaches the center of the earth. Its original role is unknown, but most importantly, for us it produces energy from three of its own resources. β
Chen You thought: If you can win this star fixing pillar, you will not need inefficient and dangerous hunting in the future, and you will be able to have a stable source of energy.
Chen You glanced at his three resources:
Energy 561 Matter 66 Data 10
Since the last expansion of armaments, including its own battle shells, the current energy needs to support the operation of 6 light war shells and 1 heavy battle shell, plus the consumption of weapons and ammunition, the energy has begun to be greatly reduced.
Chen You estimated that even if he now had the AI to hunt (which also had to bear the high-intensity movement of the warshell and the consumption of ammunition), if he didn't do anything, his energy resources would be exhausted in three days.
At that time, he will be back to the pre-liberation period overnight.
"Best of all," Flying Squirrel said before he finished, "if you can occupy the Pillar, you will be able to unlock the list of buildings and build buildings." Moreover, that high ground is perfect for building our base. β
Hearing this, Chen You thought of a stable and safe base with a high-walled turret, and he couldn't help but be a little fascinated.
It seems that it is imperative to take this star fixing pillar.
ββββββ
The cost of a longbow sniper rifle is 65 substances, which is close to the price of a light hull.
It is the most expensive weapon that Chen You can buy now.
But Chen You still bought one, and almost once again spent all the material resources he had accumulated so hard.
Counting the one that Zhao Yun is equipped with now, his squad has a total of two sniper rifles.
Regarding the immediate operation to capture the Star Pillar, Chen You's idea is very simple: since I can't be tough head-on, then I will carry out long-distance sniping obscenely, and try my best to reduce the number of people in the dinosaur community!
After fully reducing the number of personnel, and then rushing head-on, you can always succeed in the strategy!
Raising the longbow sniper in his hand, Chen You's heart ignited confidence.
Putting on a light battle shell and walking out of the refuge room, Chen You waved his hand: Let's go!
6 light warshells and 1 heavy warshell, all the combat power poured out.
ββββββ
The march was smooth, and in about an hour you could see the high ground where the Pillar was located.
Although the edge of the high ground can be seen, there is no terrain advantage here, and there is no sniper vision.
Chen You led the team along the high ground for another hour, almost around to the opposite side of the position just now, and Chen You saw the sniper point he had selected on the map of the whole system.
A small mound on higher ground, on which a large tree grows.
This is almost the only place where you can snipe on the high ground.
Chen You arranged Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Lu Bu to be on covert guard nearby.
He and Zhao Yun climbed the big tree.
Sitting at the top of the tree, Chen You sent the Eyed Demon Soldier Bee to the Dire Ape colony 1 km away. Then he picked up his longbow sniper rifle and tried to look through the sniper scope......
The field of view is quite wide, covering almost the entire territory of the dinosaurs.
Chen You could see that there were three caves in the center of the highland, and one of them was particularly large, like the entrance to a naturally formed giant cave. These must be the caves where the dinosaurs rest.
Directly opposite the entrance of the cave is an open flat land, on which the dinosaurs are scattered, some are sharing their prey, some are chasing and fighting, and some are lying and resting.
In the middle of this flat land is the star column. It rises from the hard earth and points to the sky, reflecting a dull metallic sheen in the sunlight.
Chen You also wanted to ask for some information about the Star Pillar, so he beckoned to the flying squirrel under the tree, and lowered his voice and shouted: "Flying squirrel, you come up, I'll ask you!" β
The flying squirrel looked at Chen You on the tall tree and shook it in the air: "Don't come." β
"What?!" Chen You looked shocked.
The flying squirrel looked a little embarrassed: "Boss, I'm afraid of heights......"
Chen You almost fell off the sniper rifle in his hand when he heard this. He shook his head, thinking about how to clean up the flying squirrels later, and his eyes looked back into the sniper scope.
Chen You shifted his sniper vision back to the dinosaurs.
These guys have limited intelligence, so I wonder what will happen when they start sniping?
The sound of the longbow sniper rifle firing was very weak, and when the sniper began, Chen You envisioned three scenarios: first, if the intelligence was very low, then in the almost silent sniping process, the still active dinosaur might not know what was going on for a long time, and thus would not take any action;
Second, after the sniper begins, the other dinosaurs may scatter or go into hiding;
Third, the dinosaur may quickly realize what is happening and attack the sniper point;
In either case, Chen You was well prepared tactically.
At this point, the Eye Demon was already suspended in the air not far above the high ground. Enemy units that are observed by the Eye Demon have their silhouettes enhanced in the Sniper Scope, giving them a conspicuous orange color.
In just a minute, the Eye Demon had already marked all the dinosaurs in his line of sight.
Now, Chen You can see the exact number of enemy troops in his field of visionβ57 dinosaurs
He nodded towards Zhao Yun and turned on the sniper rifle's insurance.
The goal of sniper tactics is to reduce the number of troops as much as possible, and Chen You intends to try to snipe without disturbing the other dinosaurs.
Therefore, priority should be given to the target that is furthest from the group.
After wandering around the sniper scope for a long time, Chen You saw two small dinosaur apes lying on their backs, and their positions were quite far away from the other dinosaurs.
Chen You further marked the two dinosaur apes that were orange in red.
He whispered to Zhao Yun, "The two targets marked in red, can you confirm them?" β
Zhao Yun: "Yes. β
"I'm in charge of the one on the left, and you're in charge of the one on the right, kill with one shot, and follow my orders."
The doji in Chen You's scope was aimed at the head of the dire ape on the left.
"Three, two, one, fire."
Poof!
Two muffled sounds that were almost overlapping.
In Chen You's sniper scope, about a second later, the heads of the two dinosaur apes on the ground burst red.
Number of dire apes: 55
The other dinosaurs didn't notice it and were going on with their business. Nothing had happened to them.
