Chapter 8: Strife
Choosing a territory is not an easy task, and there are so many things to consider.
Fortunately, they had a day to make arrangements, and the central base prepared rooms for each general. And in the near future, even if they go to the base to garrison, they will have to come back here from time to time - and the system exchange is done here.
The planning task of building the base was given to Zeus, and while he had some time, Shen Yi walked out of the base tower and stood on an open-air platform and looked out.
In front of him was a city made of steel, with Union soldiers patrolling everywhere, tall city walls in the distance, sentry towers, and shuttles flying in the sky.
Some Thor robots stand at the various guardian points, the sky is gray, and the barren land outside the walls looks like the Doomsday Hero, and the whole world is shrouded in a hazy sky, and the light of iron and fire flickers in the distance, making the whole world full of apocalyptic atmosphere.
"How about it, seeing such a scene, do you feel that your big universe plan is a bit pediatric after all?" a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Shen Yi looked back and saw a middle-aged man wearing a straight military uniform walking not far away.
This man has a slightly weathered face, his eyes are focused and focused, and there is naturally a solemn aura on his body. Even if you don't wear a general's uniform, you don't feel like a small person.
At this moment, the middle-aged man took a few steps forward, came to Shen Yi's side, looked at the railing, and let out a sigh of emotion: "When I first came here, I was also shocked by this grand scene, and the first feeling in my heart at that time was that in this huge interstellar war, the strength of individuals is so insignificant, even if we become stronger, we can't be stronger than the sea of stars in front of us." ”
He looked back at Shen Yi: "Fortunately, even for those insects, this galaxy is not easy to conquer. ”
Saying that, he suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, I'm Ye Dongsheng." ”
Ye Dongsheng?
This name made Shen Yi slightly stunned.
Naturally, he had heard of the name.
Wind God Ye Dongsheng, Hua Tianrui's teacher, is also the leader of the Dragon Alliance, and one of the top powerhouses in the Bloody City!
Who would have thought that on the first day of their entry into the world, they would meet this big man?
Slightly stunned, Shen Yi stretched out his hand and shook Ye Dongsheng: "Hello Lord Ye Meng." ”
Holding hands together, Shen Yi could feel that Ye Dongsheng's hand was quite strong.
Withdrawing his hand, Ye Dongsheng looked at Shen Yi very seriously, and then said with a low smile: "I'm here for you, are you interested in joining our Dragon Alliance base?"
"Dragon Alliance Base?" Shen Yi looked at Ye Dongsheng.
"That's right, the Dragon Alliance base, it's on the Dragon King. Ye Dongsheng pointed to a slightly yellowish planet in the distance: "That is the territory of the Eastern District, and almost all the bases on it are established by adventurers in the Eastern District, and there is the largest joint base in the entire world, the Dragon Alliance Base. ”
"But I'm not from the Dragon League......"
"It doesn't matter. Ye Dongsheng waved his hand: "Not all the adventurers of the Dragon League on Dragon King Star are also some elites in the Eastern Region that we are optimistic about, whether they are from the Dragon League or not, everyone is from the Eastern Region after all, they are all Chinese, so they should watch and help each other...... You don't need me to explain to you the importance of the Joint Base, do you?"
Shen Yi smiled bitterly.
Of course he understands.
Although the adventurers all built their own bases after entering this world, a certain degree of mutual assistance and alliance is still extremely necessary.
Generally speaking, adventurers tend to build bases in groups of multiple teams, surrounding all bases in a circle.
This circle is determined based on the number and strength of the adventurer, and the larger the area of the circle, the wider the radiation range, and the higher the transformation efficiency.
The reason for this is very related to the size and perimeter of the territory.
The circumference is doubled in size and the area is ten times larger.
When an adventurer occupies 10,000 square kilometers of land, the radius of his land is 56.4 kilometers, and the perimeter of his defense is 354 kilometers.
And if a hundred adventurers occupy a million square kilometers of land, the radius of the land is about 564 kilometers, and the circumference is 3,540 kilometers, and the average adventurer needs to defend a front about 35 kilometers long. That is to say, with the same territory area, the length of the adventurer's defense line is shortened tenfold.
This is also the reason why some ancient empires were so keen to open up territory, the larger the land area, the more resources obtained, the corresponding proportion of national power investment, and the more comfortable the people's lives can be. The root cause of the collapse of the great empires in later generations was the insufficient per capita distribution caused by the massive population growth after the prosperity, so the land policy was the fundamental policy in all dynasties.
Of course, the joint base is not a panacea and has its limitations.
The larger the base, the more vulnerable it is to the Zerg, so the joint base is not the bigger the better, but has a moderate range. This range has a lot to do with the strength of the adventurers and the degree of tacit understanding with each other.
At present, in the entire simulation world, the largest joint base is the Eastern Dragon Alliance Base, about sixty adventurers, occupying 1.2 million square kilometers of territory, with 360 energy converters operating in it.
This number was also carefully calculated by the adventurers of the previous generation.
Although it is said that the efficiency of advanced converters in 10,000 square kilometers is the highest, it is not only about efficiency, but also about the overall scale.
According to the adventurer's estimate, in an area where energy is relatively stable and concentrated, it is best to place three high-level energy converters on 10,000 square kilometers of land, which can transform quite two energy beads in one day.
Although the efficiency is a third lower, the total number has doubled.
If it is increased further, its investment-to-return ratio may not be appropriate, after all, the energy converter also needs money, and considering the attack of the Zerg, it is also necessary to control the investment moderately.
In addition to the large joint bases, there are usually a few smaller joint bases nearby.
They are not too far away from the large base, and whenever a Zerg invades, nearby bases will also consider helping.
However, most of this kind of assistance is paid services, and it depends on each person.
All in all, the respective bases are still independent defenses, but they tend to be united to a certain extent in their overall structure.
At present, the largest and most joint base is the eastern region, and there are not many southwest, southwest, south, and north regions, and most of them are based on countries and squads, such as the German joint base, the American joint base, and so on.
Therefore, the Dragon Alliance joint base is not limited to the Dragon Alliance, as long as you have the strength, you can also join this joint base and further expand outward, anyway, the planet is very large, and there is enough space on the same planet for everyone to occupy.
Because of this, on the first day of Shen Yi's arrival, Ye Dongsheng personally came over and sent him an invitation.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi replied: "I heard that in the joint base, there are strict restrictions on the increase of energy converters, and no adventurer can increase the converter without authorization.
"There's such a thing. Ye Dongsheng nodded: "This is to avoid meaningless investment losses." ”
The use of the energy converter of the joint base is like ten people using a 100 megabit bandwidth, although it is no different from one person using 10 megabytes, but the actual application is inevitably different. Some people may like to download movies when they have nothing to do, while others just like to read novels. Some people use more, and some people will use less.
Because of this, all joint bases have restrictions on the use of energy converters, either no one adds them or they add them together, and the standard of three converters per base is based on this.
The same is true for the scope of the territory, which is based on various considerations such as fairness.
There are many similar requirements, most of which are considered from a holistic perspective - human beings increase their strength through union, but there are also many constraints due to union.
"I'm sorry, but I wish I could have been freer. Shen Yi replied with a smile.
"Is freedom more important than survival?" Ye Dongsheng asked with a frown.
Shen Yi smiled: "I never think that freedom is more important than survival, at least limited freedom cannot be more important than survival." The problem is that for me, survival is not something I need to think about. ”
The goal of his plan from the beginning was to take out the Ultimate Brood and take out the Juggernaut.
It would be hilarious if you had to sacrifice your power for survival after coming to this world.
Ye Dongsheng heard the meaning of his words, and was slightly stunned: "It seems that you are really confident in yourself." ”
Shen Yi replied with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know me too well." ”
Ye Dongsheng may have heard of himself, or he may have gotten some information about himself from Hua Tianrui, but he definitely doesn't really understand his own strength, at least not enough.
Not to mention anything else, a fortress, three heavy cruisers, not everyone can have these belongings alone.
As far as Shen Yi knew, so far, even if a general with a fifth difficulty can buy a battleship with points, there are not many who can have more than three warships.
An HV7 heavy cruiser without carrier-based aircraft costs 3 million Blood Points in Bloody City, and 5 million Blood Points in the simulated world.
Three heavy cruisers means 1.5 million points, plus the supporting fighters, it is about 2 million.
Two million can't be brought out of the mission world, and even a general is not easy and willing to take out.
Shen Yi's foundation has been solid enough, and he has strong strength before entering the simulation world, and the need for joint bases is naturally no longer so urgent.
However, the three battleships were only recently obtained, and even Hua Tianrui didn't know about it, plus the death match completely destroyed one, it is estimated that in Ye Dongsheng's mind, Shen Yi will only have about one now.
Although he knew about the Great Universe Plan, no one knew how many warships this plan could produce.
One is a plan, and so are ten.
But what Shen Yi took out before was always just one.
In fact, Shen Yi is not opposed to joining the joint base, but he adheres to the concept of "treatment based on contribution" rather than "treatment based on the number of people".
Ye Dongsheng may value him, but because he doesn't know enough details, he doesn't value him enough.
He could not have agreed to this matter until he had given more suitable and attractive conditions.
Ye Dongsheng was about to say something more, when a loud laugh came from not far away.
The two turned their heads to look together, only to see a tall fierce man at least two meters tall, naked/naked, and almost tattooed all over his body striding over: "Since the Dragon Alliance base has too many restrictions, then it is better to come to my Blood Legion." As long as the Broken Blades are willing to come, I promise you can add as many converters as you want!"
Ye Dongsheng's face changed slightly: "Calif, what are you doing here?" Shen Yi is from the Eastern District, so he doesn't need to interfere with the Northern District!"
Califf?
Captain of the Blood Legion, Beast Calif?
Calif is said to be the most murderous adventurer in the Bloody City, with more than three adventurers dying at his hands, and even the Supreme Council has warned him many times.
If it weren't for his superior strength, God would have punished him many times.
But he still exists, and he lives freely, happily.
There are not a thousand but eight hundred adventurers in the bloody city called beasts, but in front of Califf, all the beasts are obedient tigers.
I didn't expect the beast boss to appear today, it's really lively.
The fierce man in front of him didn't look like Ye Dongsheng's graceful demeanor at all, but more like a primitive savage, quite in line with his image of the Northern District Blood Legion, if you didn't know, you might think it was a muscular and brainless guy like Augusta.
But Shen Yi didn't think that Calif would be such a good person, not to mention anything else, just listening to the conditions he said at this moment, he knew that Calif was a guy who dared to let go and dare to bet heavily, in terms of pride, Ye Dongsheng was far worse than him.
At this moment, Calif had already laughed and came over: "You Chinese are like this, you always feel that you are your own people, so you can use the lowest conditions to absorb, as if your own people deserve to be squeezed! We don't have this problem in the North District, everything is fist talking, your fist is hard enough, you are qualified to get the most! What happened to the East District? Everyone is a warrior of the bloody city, they are all fighting for the city, for the Supreme Council, the purpose is to eliminate the Zerg!" The Zerg is our biggest enemy, the adventurer is not, and forcibly dividing is already creating a barrier! We should support each other regardless of each other! Shen Yi, your Broken Blade team will come to my northern district, and the conditions are up to you!"
Ye Dongsheng was dumbfounded, and even Shen Yi couldn't help but secretly admire.
Who the hell said that the North District only has muscles and no brains, looking at Califf's words, even the name of righteousness is accounted for.
As for unity, are you being funny?
You are the ones who walk alone!
But Shen Yi still couldn't help but say: "Thank you Lord Califf for looking up to me, but let me think about this matter again." ”
"Eh, don't think about it!" Calif waved his hand: "Asura is very optimistic about you, his battle instinct is unmatched, he says that you are worth it, you are definitely worth it." ”
"......" The feelings are not that you are generous, but that Asura is generous.
Shen Yi was speechless.
Ye Dongsheng snorted: "Shen Yi, don't fall for him, this guy doesn't have a good mind at all." You know the auction, right? Some people, if they don't get it themselves, like to shout blindly and deliberately raise the price of others. Shen Yi, you come to my Dragon Alliance base, I can let you install one more energy converter. ”
Under the pressure of Califf, Ye Dongsheng had to start bidding.
An energy converter, it's really not much.
But Ye Dongsheng also has his own difficulties.
Chinese people have always suffered from inequality, rather than poverty.
The conditions given to Shen Yi are too good, and others will definitely be dissatisfied. They will not consider whether their contribution is equal to that of the other party, they will only feel that the upper leadership is corrupt and incompetent, the organization is shady and shady, and so on.
If it is really going to set a precedent for determining the treatment based on contribution, then adventurers with different strengths are afraid that they will start all kinds of open and secret battles.
For the Eastern District, where there is no national strife, interests are the only factor that will make the Eastern District strife, so as the boss of the Dragon League, Ye Dongsheng has always grasped this aspect relatively tightly, not because of his own greed, but because of the persecution of the situation.
Here, Calif had already smiled and said, "A converter, Ye Dongsheng, you are really stingy." Shen Yi, if you come to me, I'll give you three advanced converters first!"
Ye Dongsheng snorted angrily: "Calif, don't go too far. Don't think that you can buy people casually with money, not everyone eats your set, and the world doesn't just measure everything by profit......"
"But most of the people who can come this far can be measured by benefits, right?" A sneering laugh suddenly sounded.
There was another person on the rooftop.
This person is dressed in a golden coat, his whole body is shining with gold, it looks like another golden shining reincarnation, but there is a lotus flower under his feet, a face is very strange, his nose and eyebrows are squeezed together, how to look at it feels very strange.
"Smack?" Ye Dongsheng and Calif shouted at the same time.
The palace master of Vientiane Palace, Buddha son Smack!
Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh, this is really lively today, I just don't know if the Purgatory Sect will send someone here. However, now that the Purgatory Sect is the only sect leader who is not in the fifth difficulty organization, it is estimated that it will not come to join in the fun.
Calif had already snorted, "I didn't expect you to come over too, where is Garuda?"
Smack smiled slightly, and all the organs on his face stretched out at the same time, like a lotus blooming, which made people dizzy, and Smack looked much more pleasing to the eye at this time. Smack had replied: "With him without me, with me without him, Califf you don't know and ask such stupid questions." ”
The relationship between the two palace masters of the Vientiane Palace is not good, which many people know, but it is really rare to admit it directly and openly like Smack.
It can only be said that bandits are bandits, and adventurers who have not been promoted through organizational training and testing may have enough force, or they may have enough mind, but they have major problems in management.
There's no way, who told people to kill them with their fists.
At this point, Shen Yi felt that Ye Dongsheng was better, at least he didn't have Edmund's heart higher than the sky, he didn't have Califf's murderous nature, and he didn't have Smack's problem of openly disclosing internal contradictions.
Although the conditions he gave were harsh, that was the reason why he had too many concerns as the boss, and Shen Yi could still understand him.
Of course, understanding is understanding, and support is another matter.
At this time, after Shi Mark finished speaking, the facial features that bloomed like chrysanthemums shrank back, and his eyes stayed on Shen Yi's body for a moment, but he showed a murderous aura undisguisedly.
He smiled, and the flowers on his face were put away: "Okay, very good, you are Shen Yi, right?
Shen Yi smiled: "It seems that you are not here to recruit me. ”
Smack had already laughed, and his laughter was sharp and piercing: "I'm here to tell you that Garuda has sworn that he will kill you stinky boy." At the same time, he also told Ye Dongsheng, don't think that recruiting the Broken Blade Team can improve the strength of your Dragon Alliance, this bastard has caused our Vientiane Palace to lose a lot of blood, whether it is me or Garuda, we will not let him go!"
Although Smack and Garuda do not deal with each other, they are still on the same page on the issue of common interests.
Obviously, the reason why he came here was not to solicit, but to persuade Ye Dongsheng to give up Shen Yi.
However, this guy obviously doesn't know how to speak, and uses a threatening tone to deal with a big man at the same level as him, even if Ye Dongsheng is self-contained, he has a fire in his heart.
He snorted: "If you can't afford to lose, don't gamble, millions of points are worth your attention? ”
Smack's eyes widened and he screamed, "That's my membership fee for the Vientiane Palace!"
The four major organizations have a great reputation, but they are limited by income channels and have limited membership fees, and a few million is really not a small amount.
Calif laughed: "I'm afraid you'll take more people in for these millions of dues! Edmund died at his hands, Smack, you don't want to be the second Edmund, do you?"
Smack suddenly laughed: "Since that's the case, then you can do whatever you want." I'm just here to warn you that if anyone takes this bastard, then they'd better be careful that someone else sticks a knife in their back when resisting the Zerg attack!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Dongsheng and Calif turned pale at the same time.
Califf glared at Smack: "Say it again!"
Smack laughed strangely: "I've said everything I should say, goodbye!"
The figure flickered, and it was gone.
"!" Califf shook his fist, but he didn't chase after him.
This is where the main base of the system is located, and adventurers are absolutely not allowed to fight each other here, no matter how arrogant Califf is, he is not stupid enough to directly provoke the system.
However, the warning from Smack made the hearts of the two bosses sink at the same time.
As for Smarck and Garuda's temperament, they knew very well that these were the two bosses who did not deserve to be bosses at all, and even Calif was more qualified than them. It is not without reason that the southern district has been at the bottom of the four districts for many years, in addition to internal disagreements, part of the reason is that several of their bosses are all in this problem, their strength is average, but the ability to stab knives behind their backs is not small, they are all typical villains.
But these guys can't kill endlessly.
Regardless, Smack's threat worked.
No matter how Ye Dongsheng wanted to recruit Shen Yi, he had to consider the possible consequences next.
If you are stabbed in the back by the Vientiane Palace when resisting the Zerg, it will really kill people.
Looking at Ye Dongsheng and Calif's expressions, Shen Yi understood, and he smiled: "It seems that I don't need to choose anymore." ”
―――――――――
Califf is gone.
Ye Dongsheng also left.
The Vientiane Palace can threaten without scruples, but these two bosses will not be forced to fight with the Vientiane Palace because of this.
On the surface, the Vientiane Palace won this game, but those who know how to endure know that an act like Smack will only bring the Vientiane Palace to the ditch.
A moment of pride!
Calif was much more straightforward, didn't say anything, and disappeared.
Ye Dongsheng had the best explanation to Shen Yi: "Garudo and Shi Mark, these two people, are narrow-minded, and they can even ignore the overall situation of the organization for their own selfish desires, and they are real villains. For villains, you have to be more careful, they say that they will attack from behind when you resist the Zerg, then they will definitely do it. ”
"I know you have a warship, but a battleship is not easy to attack, and it is not a basis for you to run amok. Here, many adventurers also have battleships, and while they can't be taken out, there's nothing left behind you in the simulation world, at least in the simulation world. ”
"No matter what the Vientiane Palace does, the Zerg is still your mortal enemy. The number of broods currently owned by the Zerg is about 3,000, which means that each planet could be attacked by 300 broods, and you know what a huge power that means. Even if only part of the forces are sent to attack, there are dozens of broods. You should know how scary it is, so don't leave it to chance. If you can use points to add defense facilities, try to use points, don't think that you can bring back everything you add with points, and add them all, that will only make your defense power greatly weakened and cause greater losses. Usually the best thing for adventurers to do here is to use points to top up early and strengthen with the remaining points at the last moment. Here, adventurers earn more and spend more, and the bloody spots are not as profitable as before, and they want to take anything from here...... It's not easy!"
"Finally, there is still a large blank space in the Southern Cross of Dragon Kings, and I suggest you build a base there, although it is not a joint base, it is not far from us. In case of danger, you can call us for help. We can't put them together, but at least we can support each other. Of course, you have to pay according to the rules, depending on the form of both parties at the time and the price they pay. Generally speaking, all losses incurred due to support are covered by the supported party, and each adventurer pays an additional fee ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 yuan. ”
"Thank you, Alliance Master Ye. Shen Yi gave Ye Dongsheng a salute and replied politely.
Anyway, these are Ye Dongsheng's kind reminders.
"If you need to build, you can also ask us for help. ”
"I will. ”
Ye Dongsheng left.
Ye Dongsheng had just walked on his front foot, and a gentle figure had already appeared behind Shen Yi.
"It looks pretty good, and it's lively as soon as I come in. Gently smiled and stood behind Shen Yi, wrapped her arms around Shen Yi, and pillowed her head behind Shen Yi.
She had already come when Calif appeared, but everyone didn't care about her, and she wasn't in the mood to join in the fun.
For the current Broken Blade team, whether the three major organizations are co-opted or not is no longer a matter of concern to them.
"yes, at least the next few days won't be too lonely. Shen Yi also laughed.
"But it looks like we're going to build our own base next. Since Smack has already notified the two bosses, it is estimated that the other bases will not be missed. ”
"Well, then build it yourself, it's more free, and to be honest, I didn't really want to work with them too much. When you are used to being in charge, you are really not used to being constrained in everything. Shen Yiman replied nonchalantly.
"What about the location?" asked gently.
Shen Yi smiled: "I made the Vientiane Palace lose a lot of points, although Smack is unwilling, Cliff smashed the source of the artifact, and the loss caused was only greater than mine, and those two idiots should not let it go, right? In addition, we are also in the Eastern District, and it is not suitable to be too far away from the Eastern District...... Zeus, see which planet exists in the south, east, and west regions at the same time...... Well, it's best that the North District is also there, if you want to be lively, let's just be lively, let's give him a crack to survive, Vientiane Palace wants to stab me in the back, we will give others a chance to stab them in the back, and see who is more ruthless. ”
At the beginning, Shen Yi and the Purgatory Sect fought to the death, but now he is going to fight against the Southern District with the Purgatory Sect.
Sure enough, the world is impermanent.
"Yes sir. Zeus quickly replied: "Celestian 4 star, there are two joint bases, four independent bases, the four independent bases belong to the north and south regions, the joint base is the Dragon League No. 2 sub-base, thirty-four adventurers, the Purgatory Angel base in the western district, the joint sub-base of the Western Region and the Purgatory Sect, thirty-six adventurers, the colonel is in that base, and Meryl is also there." ”
Meryl...... I guess it's not a coincidence. ”
"Your fleet commander felt that it was a better fit for our development, so he arranged for me a TX model Terminator modeled after Anne Hathaway. ”
"Zeus, shut up for me!" Zhou Yiyu shouted angrily from the intercom.
Shen Yi laughed: "Next time, remember, don't give it to the employer who bought you easily, otherwise no one will give you any more benefits, Zeus." ”
As he spoke, Shen Yi put away the intercom and walked towards the main system.
Zeus has all the plans in place, and the next step is to demarcate the territory and then systematically purchase all the facilities needed to build the base.
All facilities purchased by adventurers, including recruited miners and soldiers, will be sent directly from the base to the designated location.
The ones in charge of deliveries and escorts are also adventurers - these are small tasks that they can take on, and they can earn extra points for completing deliveries, and they will be compensated according to the price for lost goods.
There is an adventurer organization in this world that specializes in this kind of work, and the escort's fighter plane is printed with a shiny line of large letters: "News Alliance Courier Company".
