Chapter 52: The Last Hope

Four days later, the Broken Blades had cleaned up everything they could clean, and finally sold 580,000 Blood Points.

This does not include a number of rare equipment such as the Sword of Death and Oath, the Twin Magic Spear, etc., which were not shot.

This number almost stunned everyone.

God, the Broken Blades have never made such a fortune.

And the reason why he was able to harvest such a rich bloody point was mainly because in those four hours, Shen Yi frantically swept through the second, third, and fourth difficulty areas.

With his strength at the peak of the fifth difficulty at that time, his identity as a second-difficulty adventurer, and the double reward brought by challenging the advanced area, the equipment in the second and third regions alone made him make a lot of money. Such an opportunity is like Ivy's time reversal, but I am afraid that it will not appear again in the future.

But on the other hand, the charm of the wilderness can also be seen from this aspect - it only took Shen Yi four hours to complete the harvest that others may take half a year to get. The charm of the wilderness is that as long as you have strength, there is no upper limit to the harvest!

At this time, there were finally 21 items left in the public space, including the team assembly order. (Details will be updated in the enclosure)

Each of these things has its own special purpose, and it will never be sold again.

This rich income made every team member slander, and they were counting on Shen Yi to share dividends, but Shen Yi's words made everyone's hearts cool down completely.

Shen Yi said: "This bloody point has an important role and will not be spent on anyone anymore." Enhancements will wait until after the next mission. ”

With that, he went out and left, and when he came back an hour later, everyone found that there were only 10,000 blood spots left.

This time it's faster than ever, and the worst thing is that you don't even know where the bloody spot is spent.

Shen Yi didn't explain, but just said to Wen Wen: "Go to the home world." ”

He took out his home pass.

Entering the home world of the X-Men again, Shen Yi did not arrange for everyone to do things for the first time, but went directly to the Newman United Factory with everyone.

David Paul happened to be not in the factory at this time, and Shen Yi called him over. Paul was surprised that the boss had suddenly come to check in advance, but he arrived immediately.

As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw Shen Yi sitting in his place.

Shen Yi said: "I have decided to expand the scale of the company by ten times. ”

One sentence almost didn't scare David Paul down: "This can't be, boss." You know, this is already the largest and most advanced technology factory in the United States. We've been investing, building, but we're a small company in terms of output and sales. I think we should stop expanding and focus on making money first. With the technology you provide, we can become the most profitable company in the United States in three years, the largest conglomerate in the United States in ten years, and ...... in twenty years."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yi had already stopped him: "I know what I'm doing, David, you only need to be responsible for the construction of the site plant." I will give you more technology, more advanced equipment, all you have to do is to produce the bigger and more advanced equipment I need according to my requirements. ”

"Our equipment is fifty years ahead of this era!" said David Paul in a pitiful tone.

"But what I need is a high-tech factory that is a thousand years ahead of this era. There are many devices that we simply cannot produce now, and there are many technologies that cannot be applied. I need you to help me implement these technologies and finally make what I want!"

"If you really want a spaceship, give me some time, maybe I can do it. David Paul said helplessly. He didn't know what his boss was crazy about, but if he really wanted to travel to the universe, it really wasn't impossible to do it with the current strength of the United Company. Of course, that kind of production would cost the entire company at least ten years and a lot of money.

Shen Yi shook his head: "No, David, the plan has changed. What I need is not a spaceship, but a space battleship. And I need not one, but many. ”

David Paul looked at Shen Yi dumbfounded: "You...... What exactly do you need...... How many ships...... Space Battleship?"

Shen Yi said casually: "Ten, twenty, maybe a hundred, I don't know, but the more I know, the better." ”

David Paul almost fainted.

Whether it was him, even the Hong Lang who was listening to it almost fainted.

Shen Yi, what is this crazy about?

Shen Yi stood up and walked to David Paul's side: "I know it's not easy. That requires us to have enough money, enough resources, enough technical support, and enough related equipment. Such a space warship will no longer be built by workers like a handicraft workshop, but will be produced as quickly as an assembly line. What we need is not only scale and speed, but also mature technology and science and technology. ”

He patted David Paul on the shoulder: "I know you don't have these, so I brought them here for you." ”

"With ...... Brought here?"

"Yes, come with me. Shen Yi was the first to walk out of the office.

David Paul hurriedly followed behind, and Hong Lang looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders together, and followed along.

The empty factory that Shen Yi specially asked to leave behind is now full of all kinds of high-tech equipment, which Shen Yi brought from the bloody city.

A full 570,000 bloody points were smashed on these mechanical products that had neither offensive ability nor special effect.

Pulling David Paul to a strange-shaped machine, Shen Yi pointed to it and said: "This is the latest model of HCV449 machine tool, its process accuracy and processing strength are much higher than the best machine tools in the world." It is necessary equipment for the production of the TC790 superalloy large machine tool, and only this machine can produce the inner deck required by the space battleship, as for the outer deck, hull, and energy shield, etc...... We'll have to find another way. ”

Casually pointing to the equipment in the warehouse, Shen Yi continued: "All these equipment are prepared by me for you, what you need to do is to find the right people, do your best to learn and digest them, and master their use." From now on, those technicians of yours are no longer inventors, but students. They have so much to learn, and I hope they are smart enough and work hard enough. Because the knowledge I will give them is so great that they will not be able to grasp it in the short term. ”

David Paul stared at everything in front of him in amazement, his poor brain was completely stimulated.

――――――――――――

Leaving David Paul to digest all this in the warehouse by himself, Shen Yi walked out, and the others followed.

Out of the warehouse, he sighed and said, "I know what you want to ask me...... No way, the era we are in now is still too far away from the real starry age. If Newman Associates were to develop in a self-sufficient form, it would take at least a hundred years to get there, and we don't have even ten years to wait. In addition, the creation of a fleet of space warships requires a lot of money and resources. These are no longer problems that can be solved by trading stocks and winning the lottery. Therefore, we must invest a lot of bloody points in order to speed up the development progress of Newman and the cycle of technological replacement. When the infrastructure is fully completed, perhaps they can make a profit through the production of some high-tech products and obtain the resources to build the fleet, and until then, the only way to do it is to keep throwing money at it, and the sooner the better. The larger the investment in the early stage and the thicker the foundation, the faster the company's self-accumulation. Therefore, not only this time, but from now on, a considerable part of our harvest will be invested in the construction of the base. I know it has a big impact on our strength, but we are short of money, we are short of time. ”

"But......" Hong Lang stammered, "I don't understand, why do you want this? It turns out that you only need a space battleship, which is a good idea, but now you want a fleet?"

In fact, he didn't really know what Shen Yi wanted to do.

Seeing now, he didn't understand that Shen Yi was definitely thinking about the future urban war.

But even so, what's the use of Shen Yi building a large number of space warships?

That didn't work, he thought he could defeat the Zerg with his own strength?

You know, that's something that the creator of the Bloody City can't do, and how can he do it?

Shen Yi let out a long sigh.

He looked at Hong Lang, King Kong, Gentle and the others behind him, and suddenly said, "We already know that it has been almost a hundred years since the Bloody City was officially established. ”

Everyone was stunned, wondering why he suddenly changed the topic to talk about this aspect.

Shen Yi continued: "Every month, the Bloody City will produce about a hundred generals, one thousand two hundred generals per year, and eventually three hundred people will become marshals and enter the Tower of Babel. In other words, the real warriors that Bloody City can get every year are actually only about three hundred. ”

Gentle immediately asked, "How was this number calculated?"

"Simple, calculate the mortality rate of the mission and the population base. There are 30,000 people in the bloody city all year round, and the average mortality rate of each mission world is about 25 percent, and each difficulty is based on five missions, and the total number of missions is 25 times, and then taking into account the casualties in the wilderness, this is the result. Of course, I mean average, with exceptions like the few times we attended. ”

Hong Lang couldn't help but laugh.

In the Caribbean and the Dark World, there are so many people who have died, and the mortality rate is rare in Bloody City, and this is largely due to the Broken Blades, who are the main culprits in driving this mortality rate. However, Hong Lang and they are not ashamed, if they want to survive in this bloody world, how can they not be ruthless?

However, it is precisely because they are ruthless enough that it has led to a relative weakening of the world difficulty of other missions, in order to try to have enough people to pass the level, which can be regarded as an overall adjustment. But the consequence is such a passing adventurer, whose overall quality is not good.

In any case, from calculating the mortality rate to analyzing the number of people who rose each month, Shen Yi could easily obtain the number of generals and marshals that the Bloody City could obtain every month.

Although the numbers are not too accurate, looking at the big picture, the difference will not be very large.

Shen Yi continued: "This also means that in the hundred years of the existence of the Bloody City, it has only had 30,000 superhuman warriors at most. Of course, we didn't know how many there were before that. But it is clear that the establishment of the Bloody City was due to some kind of upheaval. I doubt how many warriors will survive before the city is founded. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"There is no doubt that the extraterritorial battlefield is more brutal and dangerous than the mission world. After a hundred years of bloody rain and bloody wind, I still doubt how much is left of those who can really survive until now. Let's assume that there are still 10,000 people who can survive until now, then among these 10,000 people, a considerable part is newly replenished, and only the other part is the elite of the hundred battles that have survived until now. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused.

He looked at everyone and made a gesture with his hands outstretched:

"Now assuming that the strength of the Zerg is ten times that of the adventurer, then a terrifying existence like a giant beast is at most 100,000. Of course, this is not an exponential quantity, but refers to the total strength of the Zerg. From Lan Yan's statement, it can be seen that things like green mantis and giant beasts are also quite powerful existences in the Zerg. Let's assume that the giant beast is equivalent to the four difficulty levels in the Zerg, then the classification map of the Zerg can be seen on the strength pyramid. Considering the racial division, I can say that the number of Zerg like Behemoths would not exceed five hundred. That's why only one giant beast can enter after the spatial passage is opened, because there are too few of them. All in all, based on the existing strength of the Bloody City, we can roughly analyze the strength of the Zerg. I estimate that the total number of Zerg does not exceed one million, and the life of such a powerful Zerg as a giant beast does not exceed five thousand. The most powerful life, probably no more than three hundred. ”

Hong Lang muttered: "It doesn't sound like the Zerg, shouldn't this kind of thing be measured in billions?"

Shen Yi said: "Do you still remember the kind of super-large life that is four hundred meters long that we saw in the Ash Capital? Are you kidding? A million powerful Zerg is enough to cross the galaxy, terrifying enough. And this is most likely the result of their post-battle attrition. Maybe when they are at their strongest, it is really possible to reach this number, and there may be billions of Zerg. But the Bloody City has consumption, how can they not be?"

Speaking of this, Shen Yi said in an accentuated tone: "Don't take things for granted, remember, a race, no matter how strong its reproductive ability is, can't be faster than killing!"

Gently asked: "Then why is the existing strength of the Zerg only ten times that of the city, but not a hundred or a thousand times that of the city?"

"This is impossible!" Shen Yi categorically denied: "We already know that the Supreme Council does not simply rely on this world to resist the invasion of the Zerg, no matter how good the defense is, it has no offensive power, it is just a decoration, and it can only be beaten." From the point of view of pure warfare, without making mistakes on both sides, no city can be held under an attack of ten times the number of troops. Ten times, this is already a conclusion made taking into account the powerful defense capabilities unique to the world in which we are now. If it's a hundredfold......"

He suddenly laughed: "Lan Yan, they said, accumulate strength and find an opportunity to fight back." If the difference in strength between each other reaches a hundredfold or a thousandfold...... They don't want to fight back for the rest of their lives. ”

This made everyone nod their heads again and again. Indeed, if the strength of the Zerg is a hundred times and a thousand times that of the adventurers who come out of the city, then surviving is the only problem they will consider now, and as for counterattacking, it is just a fool's dream.

Although all that Shen Yi said was based on speculation, his speculation was not groundless.

Zhou Yiyu asked puzzledly: "But what's the point of you calculating these?"

Shen Yi raised a finger: "One million Zerg, five thousand powerful lives, three hundred top lives, this is the most powerful lineup of the Zerg in my imagination, if nothing else, the real Zerg strength can only be weaker than this, not stronger than this." Unless there's something else in Bloody City that we don't know about...... But looking at the loss of a giant beast bead by those space managers, I doubt how many hole cards they have. Knowing this, you also know that they are not as much, so powerful, and so terrifying as we think. Most importantly, you know how much strength you'll need to defeat them. ”

Everyone finally understood what he meant: "So you really want to ......"

"Yes. Shen Yi nodded: "I want to win this war and prepare for it." I know how risky this decision I am making now is. Because that means that in the future we will have a large amount of income invested in investments that do not see a return. Until the last moment of the outburst! Honestly I don't like it, but we don't have a choice!"

Shen Yi's words made everyone stunned.

After a while, Zhou Yiyu muttered, "But do you know how many blood points are needed to build a fleet like that? I remember that you once calculated that it would take five million blood points to build one alone. 100 ships is 500 million! 500 million, this is a bloody point, not RMB!"

"It doesn't take that much. Shen Yi replied: "These five million bloody points themselves are just a budget, if you stick to it, three million is enough, and most of them are base construction investments, not only for the production of space warships." A top-level space battleship, if purchased directly from the Bloody City, requires five million blood points, which includes a large number of special devices and related equipment such as the battleship brain, pulse engine, warp engine, energy generator, particle laser cannon, space railgun, etc., and the rest is the cost of materials. If we get these from the home world, then the cost will be able to be compressed to about a third. The key is that the investment in the construction of bases for the large-scale production of space warships is relatively large, and the initial investment is likely to increase to at least 600 to 10 million bloody points. The sooner you vote, the more you will save, so I say I don't mind the few bloody spots now, because those bloody spots play a bigger role here. ”

Gentle and cold: "The problem is that you didn't say that this is just the basics. I've just checked, and the space battleship you said requires five million blood points is a mothership-class space battleship. Therefore, if you take into account space fighters, heavy mechas, escape pods, shuttles, landing ships and other related facilities, the cost will be further increased. As far as I know, a large space battleship can carry up to about 200 space fighters, and the price of each fighter plane purchased directly from the city is about 50,000 points. Coupled with other supporting facilities, a complete mothership-class space battleship will cost at least about 20 million bloody points. And such a warship, you still plan to get a batch?"

Shen Yi hurriedly corrected: "It's just one, the others are auxiliary ships." ”

Gentle sneer: "Intelligent HV7 type heavy cruisers, three million one, how many are you going to build?"

It seems that the information she checked is really detailed.

Shen Yi was helpless: "At least ten or so, two escort heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, two assault ships, and two ground attack ships." ”

"Three million heavy cruisers, two million light cruisers, and one million two hundred thousand assault ships, is the ground attack ship heavy or light?"

"Heavy duty. ”

"That's one and a half million ships. A total of 19.4 million, which is equivalent to 20 million. Combined with the investment in the mothership and base, it will take a total of 50 million, right?"

“...... Almost. ”

The Flood Monster shouted, "Fifty million bloody points...... Five months ago, when I first met you, it seemed like I was looking for you to rob for 300 points, and I almost sold the color of my mother's panties for 50 points. And now we're going to get at least 50 million bloody spots?"

King Kong pulled his scalp in distress and said, "Give up, boss, this is an impossible task!"

Shen Yi smiled: "That's why I don't tell you and make decisions without permission." I knew you wouldn't accept it when I told me about it. But anyway, I've made my decision. Now I've smashed in 600,000 blood spots. This investment is so large that it is no longer affordable for anyone. We have no way back but to go to the end in one breath. Or bring out a powerful fleet to sweep through the world, kill those zergs, and return home!Or just die here!"

Zhou Yiyu shouted: "You can't win a war alone! Especially an enemy that the bloody city can't face!"

Shen Yi asked rhetorically: "Why not? This is originally a world that creates miracles." The adventurers didn't win because they brought so little strength out of this world that every battle was like a refueling tactic! In that case, I would bring out a fleet and sweep through that world! Bloody cities can't, why can't we? Don't forget that they created us to do what they can't! Not to mention that I'm not just myself, I also have you!"

"In this hopeless world, we create our own hope, and this is our last hope!"

Shen Yi's words fell to the ground like a golden stone, and they were loud and sound.
