Chapter 7: The Iron Fortress
In the Alien Beast Valley in the East Third Region of the Wilderness, the pentagram composed of five energy pillars was slowly rotating, flickering with a strange red light from time to time.
A fortress cannon was gradually manifesting in the energy black hole above the teleportation array, revealing its massive size at a slow speed.
Not far from the energy teleportation array, stood Shen Yi and King Kong.
King Kong's brows were furrowed, his face looked very ugly, and he had to look at the time from time to time.
"It's been ten minutes...... Damn, why is it so slow?"
"The flow of time is different, and most of the energy of the teleportation array is used to stabilize the time, resulting in not only a slow teleportation speed, but also a greatly increased amount of energy consumed. Shen Yi said lightly, and casually threw another energy block into the teleportation array.
After obtaining the replenishment of the energy block, the red light that was originally somewhat unstable suddenly flourished, and even the appearance speed with the fortress cannon was a few points faster, and finally completely appeared beside Shen Yi.
"Whew. Shen Yi let out a long breath.
Either way, at least his guess about the teleportation array was correct.
This thing can indeed take the inanimate items of the home world away from the world, and that's where its greatest value lies. Its existence is equivalent to countless identification scrolls, and it can freely turn the power of an entire world into its own use.
It's just that the bloody city obviously never gives people the loophole of uncontrolled money farming, and the teleportation array also has its own limitations, that is, a lot of time and energy consumption.
When Gentle and the others pushed a fortress cannon into the anchor point in the home world, Shen Yi's side in the Wilderness Valley actually took ten times as long to receive, which was nothing, the key was that it had to consume a whole energy source to maintain its operation.
The reason why they chose to use the wilderness as the receiving point was mainly because Shen Yi and they didn't plan to let anyone know the secret of the teleportation array. Fortunately, the wilderness and the city are a whole, but they are artificially separated, and it doesn't really make a difference where they accept it.
However, with this task, Shen Yi couldn't even think about receiving the goods of the home world in the mission world - it was a double time flow change, and the energy consumed was no longer added but multiplied.
At this moment, seeing that the fortress cannon was teleported, Shen Yi casually took out a piece of paper, wrote on it the gift received, and all the relevant data, and then threw the iron piece back into the teleportation array, asking them to continue teleporting.
Since the teleportation array can transmit things from the home world, it can naturally also pass back items from the wilderness. Since there was no communication between the home world and the wilderness, Shen Yi adopted this method.
However, time in the home world is ten times faster than in the wilderness, so the waiting time over there is actually longer, and it is estimated that it will be at least two hours before the news is received.
The energy consumed by the transmission paper was not much, and soon there was a response from the opposite side to receive the news, and another fortress cannon slowly emerged in the energy black hole, and the energy array soon showed signs of energy instability, and Shen Yi threw a piece of energy source at the energy array again.
"Look at it like this, the greater the mass of the target teleported, the more energy will be consumed, and it will not be much different from the identification scroll. Shen Yi estimated and said.
"Wouldn't that be useless. King Kong looked at Shen Yi's energy source in the teleportation array like he didn't want money, and said bitterly.
It's all money!
It was originally intended to be used to supply the energy cannon to fire, but I didn't expect to fill the bottomless pit of the energy array before it was officially used.
"I can't say that. Shen Yi laughed: "At least the energy source is cheaper than the identification scroll, and the most important thing is that the energy source can be bought in the store." ”
Energy sources can be purchased directly in urban stores, but the price is three times more expensive than buying them from secret stores, and a C-grade energy source costs 2,700 points.
But even so, the energy source is much cheaper than the Identification Scroll - a C-grade Identification Scroll is not available for 2,700 points, and even in the Secret Shop, it is more than that.
What's more, a C-level energy source can transmit far more than a C-level mechanical equipment.
In the past, Shen Yi couldn't buy the appraisal scroll even if they had money, but now with this teleportation array, at least the need for the appraisal scroll has been greatly reduced. It can be said that the existence of the teleportation array has reduced most of Shen Yi's need for identifying scrolls, solved a crucial channel problem, and greatly relieved Shen Yi's pressure.
"This is also the case, there is no free lunch in the world, and many things cannot be thought about too well after all. King Kong nodded in acknowledgement.
"You don't think it's good? I already think it's good. ”
"Huh, you don't seem to be such an easily satisfied person. King Kong was amazed.
Shen Yi glanced at him: "Am I so greedy?"
King Kong replied very sincerely, "You always have." ”
The two of them talked and laughed for a while, but there were more and more fortress cannons and a large number of machine soldiers teleported from the home world.
When the last piece of energy source was used, the teleportation array finally could not support it, and Shen Yi informed that the gentle teleportation was over, but fortunately, the things they needed were basically all teleported during this time. Occasionally, one or two pieces that could not be passed on could be solved with an identification scroll.
Gentle and they had to wait until the end of their stay in the home world before they entered the wilderness, so during this time, Shen Yi and King Kong were not idle, commanding those machine warriors to start the construction of the fortress.
According to the plan, this fortress will be their most important stronghold in the wilderness in the future, and in the future, everyone will have a comfortable nest in the wilderness, and they will no longer have to sleep in the open air every day. When they're not around, the robo-soldiers who stay behind in the colony can also help them kill some of the normal beasts, helping them to gain a lot more.
Of course, the most important thing is that having a stronghold is equivalent to having a safe fortress, even if they encounter difficult adventurers in the wilderness in the future, Shen Yi and they don't have to rush to escape, they can completely hold on to the danger, so as not to waste the precious number of times they enter the wilderness. If you encounter a more powerful beast, you can also destroy it with the powerful firepower of the fortress.
In Shen Yi's mind, no one knows when he will encounter the Zerg invasion again in the future, and at that time, Shen Yi did not have a second Eye of Hades in his hand to save his life. Therefore, he urgently needs to build his last means of defense.
To achieve this, the entire fortress was designed into two parts, one castle-like and the other self-propelled.
The so-called castle type is an immovable fortress built on the basis of the original castle. Outside, there is a wall made of steel, which is 16 meters high. At this height, even adventurers of four or five difficulty may not be able to jump to it.
Because it is built against the back of the mountain, the castle covers a small area, and the length of the castle wall is only about 90 meters. Every meter is guarded by a T850, and every ten meters is a C-class fortress gun.
The castle has a total of three layers of walls, the inner layer is higher than the outer layer, the length is 90 meters, 60 meters and 30 meters, a total of eighteen fortress cannons are laid, and they are connected by the central computer that is transported, and they can be fired in a unified manner.
In addition to the eighteen fortress cannons and one hundred and eighty Terminator robots, the fortress will also be equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft firepower and energy shield defense systems in the future, completely turning it into a security barrier in the wilderness.
As for the self-propelled type, it is a steel fortress with the ability to move at the core of the castle. This self-propelled fortress is roughly equivalent to the arrangement of nine tanks in a three-three formation, the height is equivalent to the superposition of three tanks, and the outer alloy is about one meter thick, which can accommodate nine fortress guns and forty mechanical warriors, and is suitable for attacking or retreating.
With such armed forces, the weight of the self-propelled steel fortress has reached a record-breaking 3,000 tons. Fortunately, the ground in the wilderness is hard enough, otherwise the tracked type would not have solved its mobility problem. Just the engine needed to drive such a fortress is as high as 36,000 points, and it needs to consume a lot of energy sources, of course, its power is also incomparably powerful, according to Shen Yi's calculations, if the fortress can be completed, even if it is against the general, they have the certainty of a battle.
None of this can be done in a short period of time, but it is at least much easier for the Breakers to complete such a fortress than it is to build a space battleship.
In particular, a lot of preparatory work had been done before, and the work was done by tireless robots, so the construction of the castle was progressing much faster than expected. A large number of alloy blocks were designed to be assembled and combined, making the castle look more like building blocks. Due to the nature of the wilderness land, there was no need to dig too deep into the foundation, so that in just two days, the castle was already taking shape.
When Gentle and Gentle left the home world and entered the wilderness to arrive here, they saw a steel city with a basic skeleton.
"Wow, look at this, the castle can be built this month, and it will be fully completed in two months at most...... The progress was much faster than expected. Gentlely, looking at the busy mechanical soldiers and the tall walls that had been built step by step, she gave a joyful admiration.
"There's got some good news. Hong Lang pouted and said.
"That's not the best. Gentle said.
Shen Yi asked, "Is there better news?"
"Of course, the scale of the home base has already begun to take shape with our large investment, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it is officially put into production. Gently replied.
"Great!" Shen Yi and King Kong clenched their fists at the same time.
After investing a lot of energy and time, and spending nearly three million bloody spots, this ultra-modern technology base finally showed a glimmer of dawn.
Perhaps that's why the castle was built so smoothly - after all, a small steel fortress was just a test for a superbase built to build space warships.
When Shen Yi carried out the Great Universe Project, almost all members of the Broken Blade Team were against it. But now he is starting to prove right.
This does not refer to the battleship, but to the by-product generated in the process of the development of this technology itself, which is enough to bring huge benefits to the Broken Blade team, and enough to be worthy of the large investment consumption of the Broken Blade team at the beginning.
Of course, building the battleship itself requires a lot of investment, but for the Broken Blades, the most difficult initial stage has passed, and the future is not far away.
"Okay, but it's not time to relax, there's still a lot to do. Shen Yi clapped his hands and said, "Frost, you take your soldiers to stay here as overseers, and urge those mechanical soldiers to continue building." The others came with me, and it was time to hunt in the wilderness again, this time for eighteen days, bumblebee, you haven't really seen what the wilderness is like, have you? Hera, endless battles await us in the wilderness. Do you want to prove yourself? Show me what you're capable of. How about this time we'll compete to see who has more benefits?"
"I won't lose to you!" Hera replied angrily.
"You're fooling him, my dear. Bumblebee said, "He wants you to work for him." ”
"So what? I'll prove that I'm better than him...... Stronger!"
Bumblebee was dissatisfied: "Even in Cybertron's world, women do not have more status than men. You nasty feminist!"
"If you dare to say that again, be careful that I beat you!" Hera shouted with wide eyes.
"Come on, do you really think I'm afraid of you little?" called Bumblebee back unceremoniously.
Dou Guidou, seeing that Shen Yi and the others had already left the valley in a car, the two Transformers were transforming at the same time and driving towards the outside of the valley, but the loudspeakers were still noisy along the way, but they didn't really do anything.
With a large number of mechanical warriors, two powerful Transformers, and the guidance of satellites, the Broken Blades are still like fish in water even in the wilderness of the East 3rd District. They are always able to avoid dangerous areas or people that they can't deal with for the time being, and at the same time they can find a target to hunt in the shortest possible time.
Eighteen days passed quickly, and the Broken Blades returned to the city with a lot of revenue, and continued to throw the investment into the bottomless pit of the home base, by the way, to replenish the previous loss of energy sources.
Next, all they have to do is prepare to enter the quest world of Warcraft.
At this time, there are still three days left before this day comes.
