Chapter 252: Weapons Theory
The leaders who were initially cultivated by faith required relatively little power of faith, and the number of leaders could more or less reveal the true strength of a civilization. The Bird Civilization already has twenty leaders, and it has reached the peak of the second-level civilization, and it is only one chance away from advancing to the third-level civilization. But this opportunity is not so easy to grasp. Generations of birds have spent their entire lives unable to find the trick to enter the third-level civilization.
The first leader only needs twenty faith rings, which is equivalent to two days of faith savings in the Phoenix civilization, which can be said to be very easy to cultivate, but cultivating the second leader requires two hundred faith rings, that is, two faith balls. Cultivating the third leader requires twenty faith balls, which is equivalent to half a year's savings. The Faith required for the fourth to tenth leaders is not exponential, but it is still an astronomical amount.
Counting the leader's lifespan, up to the twentieth leader, the maximum faith generated by a civilization each day is exactly equal to the amount of faith required to retrain a leader after a leader's death. This bottleneck will take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach, and if calculated according to the number of members of the Phoenix Civilization, it will take at least twenty years to train 20 leaders.
This is the foundation of being a third-level civilization, and once thousands of years of accumulation are poured out, it can easily overturn all obstacles encountered along the way.
Lin Ye didn't know that the Great Elder of the Bird Civilization (who was also the spirit of the totem) Gada had actually sent ten elders to deal with them. An existential battle is coming.
The legendary beast has a very keen intuition. Lin Ye's back suddenly felt a chill, and he shuddered, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Host, I'm going to introduce the abilities that military strategists have. The system explained that it analyzed a set of plans, and at the same time explained them to Lin Ye in relatively simple and easy-to-understand language.
However, the changes that have taken place in Fireclaw's body are more convincing than the systematic explanation.
The Miratemaker has more power than its Caveman counterpart. The muscles on Fireclaw's body bulged and bulged like a powerful war machine, and with a slight movement of his claws he could easily push a massive stone taller than his body.
Just like the name of the fire claw, its sharp claw has a bright red color of flames, perfectly inheriting the characteristics of the Phoenix civilization, and has the same natural affinity for flames as Lin Ye.
From its claws, from time to time, a ray of red flame rises around its body, which is very beautiful.
Fireclaw's eyes were more full of fierce battle intent than before, and it straightened its proud chest while waving its sharp claws to indicate that it was ready to fight at any time.
Lin Ye unceremoniously knocked it a chestnut. He didn't promote Firepaw to a military strategist to deal with it alone, but to let it lead the troglodyte dragon team and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the entire team. The battle that is about to be faced is not something that can be solved by relying on the strength of a single member.
Firepaw understood and immediately ran into the jungle, and within a short time, the eighty troglodyte dragons on standby nearby were neatly lined up and began to rehearse in the manner of Firepaw.
"Hah!"
"Drink!"
The caveman spoke fluent Mandarin, and with a musket in hand, he made a standard military posture and smashed the butt of the gun into the stump in front of him. There was a clang, and the butt of the gun detached from the butt and fell to the ground. The physical strength of the cave dragon is much stronger than that of humans, and they can even bend the musket directly with their hands, and the fragile musket is naturally unbearable. The trigger, gun guard, butt, spear feather, and other parts fell to the ground scattered, leaving the dumbfounded troglodyte dragon standing in place.
"In addition to long-range, we must master the ability to fight in close combat!" Lin Ye thought in his heart, but before he could speak, Fire Claw had already walked up to Lin Ye and said, "Great Lord, we need melee weapons, and with our claws alone, we can't compete with the strong muscles of the birds. β
It then approached the bird and flower, who was overseeing the refining of the musket, and told it what it thought. After thinking about it for a moment, Hanami quickly ordered the workshop to stop making muskets and instead make more durable melee weapons.
Cavemen's claws have degenerated, and their palms have become human-like, but with only four fingers. After consulting with the birds and flowers, they ruled out many of the envisioned blueprints for weapons.
No, although the one-handed sword is convenient, the caveman may not be able to hold the one-handed sword steadily, once fighting with the bird, if the bird kicks the back of the sword, the powerful impact force brought by the bird is likely to make the one-handed sword come out of the cave dragon's palm.
No, the axe is too heavy and not flexible enough, and the bird can easily dodge the heavy chopping of the two-handed axe. Two-handed axes are completely incapable of posing any threat to the birds, and are not as useful as one-handed swords.
Nunchuck?emmmm...... Not to mention whether the cave dragon can quickly master the use of nunchucks, even the tendon in the middle of the nunchucks cannot be made by the Phoenix Civilization for the time being......
The choice of weapon is crucial to the type of enemy. If the opponent is flexible, then you can't choose bulky weapons, and if the opponent is amazingly powerful, then you can't choose weapons to parry.
"I love this!" said one of the birds, pointing to a blueprint in front of him. It refers to a meteor hammer. The Meteor Hammer, when attached to the rope, becomes the Meteor Noose, which can be used as a long-range attack.
"No, I feel that this is more suitable for a troglodyte warrior!" the eyes of a ** dragon craftsman sparkled, and it pointed excitedly to a shield in front of him. In the center of this shield stood a spike, very similar to the convex thorn shield in Lin Ye's memory, which took into account both attack and defense. However, making a Thorn Shield consumes too much alloy and will weigh more, and the spikes will cause the center of gravity of the Thorn Shield to shift forward, making the shield less stable and weakening its own defense. In addition, the heavy shield will reduce the speed of the attack, and it will be used like a two-handed heavy axe, which is a beautiful idea, but it will not hit the enemy.
The caveman can easily lift the thorn shield and seems to be a good fit for it, but why not just use the stabbing sword?
The troglodyte craftsmen got together and discussed for a while, then rejected the proposal.
"This is the strongest weapon!"
As long as the Caveman Warrior equips it in large quantities, no matter how many Birds come, the Caveman Dragon Warrior can easily defeat the Birds!"
I don't know when it started, but the caveman craftsmen began to blush and argue about what weapon was the strongest. The louder they became, the harder they became, and they almost got into a fight.
The Dragon-Blood Warrior Dragon Fury was also in the team, and although he didn't use weapons, he was also very interested in seeing the weapon refining of the Phoenix Civilization.
"Listen to me!"
Dragonfury stood up, and he immediately caught the attention of all the cave dragons and birds.
"I have a word, please listen!"
He coughed, then put on a very serious look.
He held out a finger and said, "I have encountered such an enemy with a weapon. The latter are a group of intelligent beings who have just learned to use tools, a group of ghoul dragons, they are brutal by nature, and when they form a tribe, they not only slaughter the innocent creatures around them, but also slaughter a passing half-dragon. openly launched a provocation against the Sun Dragon Civilization. β
"At that time, I was just a young dracad, not a captain. He was ordered to purify the tribe. Originally, the ghoul was holding a steel hammer from nowhere, but this blunt instrument couldn't hurt me. β
"Hmm, and then?" the caveworms asked, nodding their heads, a little curious about them, having never seen what the ghoul dragon tribe was like.
The dragon turned sideways and opened a sturdy dragon scale, and the cave dragons in the audience were suddenly silent. There was a small black dot on the waist of the dragon fury, which seemed to be embedded in the flesh.
"This is the wound that the ghoul dragon gave me. I'm now healed, but at the time, the weapon that caused the wound almost pierced my body. It was nothing more than a slender steel needle that pierced through the gap in my scales and into my body. β
Hearing this, the cave dragons suddenly gasped, and looked at the dragon's angry eyes with a little more reverence.
"The Ghoul Dragon's hammer can't hurt me, so they make steel needles, and although they use the same material, even a steel hammer can make hundreds of steel needles, but they can hurt me, and almost kill me. β
The dragon paused, narrowed his eyes at the craftsmen, and said, "You still haven't understood?"
The caveman shook his head a little confused, indicating that he really hadn't heard.
The dragon patted his head angrily, and said in his heart, how can these cave dragons not open their minds in the most critical place!!
"I tell you about my experience to tell you that there is no such thing as the most powerful weapon, only the best one!"
The most suitable weapon is the weapon with the highest cost performance for the corresponding enemy in the current environment.
The first to react was the military family Fire Claw, although it was just born, but it learned knowledge very quickly. I immediately understood the meaning of these words.
After the craftsmen looked at each other a few times, they suddenly realized that they were afraid to claw and applaud. There was a faint flush on their faces, as if they were embarrassed by their previous pointless arguments.
After some heated debate, they finally locked the blueprint of the weapon on a targeted weapon.
Painted on the yellow paper is a very familiar image of a weapon. It is a weapon that is worn around the finger, and on the ring stands sharp spikes that are a full two decimeters long, allowing them to easily pierce the chest of their opponents.
That's the Finger Tiger!
At the beginning of the argument between the craftsmen, Lin Ye had already noticed that something was wrong.
He sighed: "They still have too little experience, no dragon life experience......"
"It's time to teach them the idea of civilization. β
To become a true civilization, it is necessary to have a very unique mind in addition to writing. But now is not the time.
Lin Ye originally just watched them arguing quietly, not intending to interfere with their communication. Lin Ye adheres to the principle of not actively interfering with the ordinary members of the Phoenix Civilization, and can avoid contact with too many cave dragons, so as not to cause the phenomenon of excessive worship, which may be beneficial to Lin Ye, but it is an obstacle to the progress of the entire Phoenix Civilization. But after hearing the story of the ghoul dragon, Lin Ye's eyes immediately became sharp, because he found a blind spot.
He spread his wings and flew down from the tall stone tower.
"Great Lord!" Seeing Lin Ye flying over, the cave dragon craftsmen present shouted in unison, and at the same time knelt on the ground respectfully. They could only watch Lin Ye fly in the air from the ground every time, but they never had a chance to talk to Lin Ye. Now that this opportunity was in front of them, they were so excited that their voices trembled.
Lin Ye's brows furrowed slightly, it remembered the self-immolation incident in the square caused by the cave dragon, thinking that self-immolation could emulate its own flames and make them closer to itself. That lesson still echoed in Lin Ye's mind for a long time. The Phoenix civilization can only protect its members from being hostile to each other, but it cannot prevent them from harming themselves.
For this kind of dragon worship, Lin Ye's heart was hated from the bottom of his heart. After possessing the Qingluan form, Lin Ye stopped appearing in front of the caveman dragon in the form of the red wind in order to prevent the caveman from being overly obsessed with flames.
For a wise dragon to live in this world, it must have something in its head, and it cannot be empty. Without instilling a fixed idea of civilization, they can only blindly worship Lin Ye......
Of course, in the face of the performance of the craftsmen, Lin Ye also had to respond.
He manipulated a breeze and helped the caveman craftsmen to their feet, nodding silently.
After seeing Lin Ye's slightly cold response, some craftsmen even fainted excitedly, and the rest of the craftsmen who were still awake showed ecstatic expressions on their faces.
Under their gaze, Lin also took the Dragonfury to a secluded place.
"You just said that the corpse bone dragon you met thirty years ago is a tribe, but it can use steel?"
"yes, what's the problem?" said the dragon fury, a little confused. He didn't understand, could it be that there was a name for himself here?
"Did you tell your dragon spirit?"
Long Nu touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "I haven't told anyone, after all, I was almost killed by the members of the tribe at that time, what a shame to say it......"
Lin Ye's heart couldn't help but get excited, he didn't expect Long Fu to be so naΓ―ve, if this news was known by Long Ling, he would definitely be highly valued by Long Ling!
"Don't you know that the creatures of the tribe will never be able to use steel unless they are recognized by the world!?"
