Chapter 2: The Gathering of the Great Army (2)
The soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first, and it is now the final stage before the expedition, but most of the people are busy. Most of the troops had already boarded the battlecruisers, and now a large number of transport ships were loading warehouses with supplies such as grain and ingots.
The tens of millions of troops need to consume a huge amount of materials every day, especially since most of them are not humans. You must know that minotaurs, orcs, and centaurs eat much more than humans.
From the assembly of the army to the present, it has actually taken nearly half a month, and for the assembly of tens of millions of troops, half a month is actually very efficient. And in this process, the movement of materials has not stopped.
At this time, there is a nebula-level interstellar war to be fought, although Li Nan is considered to be the backup side, and the main force is angels. But according to Angel Hiko's experience, it is not surprising that a war of this level has been fought for a thousand or hundreds of years, so the logistical aspect is the most important. After all, if the logistics suddenly can't keep up with the most important time in the battle, Ah will be in big trouble.
Just like when Angel Yan led her troops against the Zerg troops before, they were actually able to consume those Zerg with their strong cities. After all, more than a billion Zerg have been consumed by them to the remaining more than 200 million, and it is estimated that they will be able to usher in victory in a few months, but at this time, they found that their material reserves were about to bottom out, if it wasn't for Li Nan to lead the team in time, they would have to risk breaking through.
And it is precisely because of this that Li Nan will put the technology of those spaceships on the Internet for consignment. At the high price of 2 billion star diamonds, Li Nan bought a total of 100 copies, and even so, all these technical materials were sold in a short period of time.
Among the current Earth players, there are more than 300 big guilds capable of producing these things, and Li Nan only sells 100 copies of the information, but Li Nan feels that this number is almost the same, and if he sells it again, the price will be seriously reduced.
After all, the location of the space elevator can not be determined casually, and it is not a place where there is no suitable place to build a space elevator in the territory of no force.
Moreover, to build a space elevator, the materials, money and manpower required are all days off, and at this time, it is not easy to recruit enough workers. Anyway, if you can live a good life in the main city, who else will be idle and bored to work for others.
Although this is the case, as its home planet, human beings will definitely not give up on the earth, and it is now in a period of rushing. However, once the level reaches level 50, the level is capped before new maps are opened. At this time, human beings will be able to free up their hands and rebuild the earth from scratch.
However, Li Nan can't control this kind of thing now, and he is also preparing for the war with all his might. With 200 billion star drills, Li Nan was temporarily relieved about the logistics of this war.
At the same time, what Li Nan didn't expect at all was that in the original battle plan, every battlecruiser that went out had to hoard enough materials for five consecutive years of high-intensity operations. Originally, Li Nan thought that this amount of material would require him to consume a large amount of star diamonds to exchange them from the system. But fortunately, these basic supplies are calculated in the system using points, and the prices are very cheap.
However, what Li Nan didn't expect was that this huge amount of materials could be provided by his warehouse in the world of Azeroth alone, and only one-tenth of the warehouse was emptied.
At this moment, even Li Nan himself was shocked. Over the years, Li Nan has not managed the military development of his territory, he doesn't understand this aspect at all, anyway, just leave it to the ship's mother to do, and then these shipwives have developed an army of tens of millions of people for him.
And Li Nan himself is a person who manages the logistics of his territory, and he is in charge of two things, farming and mining.
All the land suitable for farming was used by him to develop into farms, and he did not use ordinary farming techniques. You must know that the Tyranid Empire, as an interstellar civilization, has farming technology hundreds of years more advanced than the earth, and coupled with the magical profession of druids, the yield of Li Nan's farm is three times that of the most prolific farm in the Tyranid Empire, and this output can also achieve five crops a year. In this regard, Li Nan said that druids are really a good profession for farming.
Moreover, because of the abundance of magic in the world of Azeroth, the number of wild animals breeding is also very large, and the growth cycle is also very short. As a result, several large-scale hunting events can be held several times a year, from which a large amount of meat can be obtained. Anyway, Li Nan's forces couldn't even consume some of them, and in the end, Li Nan put all these things into the warehouse.
Anyway, over the years, with the development of Li Nan's power, the fastest expansion speed is Li Nan's warehouses used to hoard materials. Eighty-five percent of the buildings in Li Nan's territory are material storage warehouses, and then Li Nan's goal is to fill all these warehouses, then expand the warehouses again, and then fill them up.
Li Nan has been doing this kind of thing all these years. Anyway, as a person from the Celestial Empire, when he found that there was still a vacancy in his granary, his heart was not steady.
And in these years, Li Nan also opened those closed warehouses for the first time, and he realized for the first time what a terrible thing he had done. Even, even Li Nan's shipwreck was all taken aback when Nova calculated this result. This is the material to sustain tens of millions of troops and fight at high intensity for five years, but it is only one-tenth of the warehouse on the surface of the world of Azeroth?
And since there is a warehouse on the bright side, there is also a warehouse in the dark. The warehouses in the shadows were built in the hollowed-out mountains, the endless mountains that had divided the world of Azeroth into mini-maps. Li Nan originally planned to hollow them out and use them to store various resources such as armaments and ores, but these things didn't take up much space at all, so Li Nan converted all of them into granaries. Anyway, the grain stored in these grain warehouses is dozens of times better than that outside.
And when all the preparations are complete, there are only 30 minutes left before the Heavenly Gate can be reactivated. At this time, on the Red Cloud Terrace, a large number of troops were arranged on the altar of the Gate of Heaven. The role of these troops is not to go on expeditions, but to protect the portal.
After all, it's going to be opened, but it's a two-way portal, one side can pass through the portal, and the other side can also pass through the portal. Therefore, in order to protect this world from the invasion of Aemon's forces, Li Nan specially arranged for Sebros and the Spear of Arden to garrison this portal.
And even if he can gain a firm foothold at the portal, Li Nan will have to teleport the large army back through this portal in the future. This is also done to protect their own back roads, and at the same time to keep the logistics of transportation routes open.
Since its own granary can now provide enough food, the world of Azeroth is responsible for part of the logistics. Of course, the main supply of the front-line troops was still provided by Li Nan through systematic exchange.
Li Nan's 200 billion star diamonds were originally intended to be completely invested in this war, and as for the return, Li Nan didn't care at all. Anyway, the money was earned by selling an old antique, and even if it was all spent, Li Nan didn't feel that it was a waste.
As for the troops, as long as the Minotaur troops and their own headquarters are not sacrificed. After all, the Minotaurs are a friendly support for Kane Bloodhoof, and they can't afford to sacrifice too much. These are the elite of the Minotaur troops, and each one is a veteran of a hundred battles.
And his own headquarters is the ship's mother's troops, as well as the guards trained by the military academy. As for the rest of the ragtags? Centaurs are too good to be born, and in a few years, they can be all over the bleak lands.
And the fish-people, when it comes to the fish-man Li Nan, hehe, these fish-people are all over the Endless Sea, and the number is simply too large to count. Now that the technology has been conquered, if you want as much fish-man cannon fodder as you want in the future, just go to the beach to catch it. If you don't have enough fish-people on the beach, then the deep-sea fish-people will definitely have everything you need.
As for the orcs? Their hometown is in the world of Draenor, and now the vanguard of the attack on Azeroth is only a few million vanguards, and in the world of Draenor, there are still hundreds of millions of orcs living there.
