Chapter 929: Patrol and Strategy
As soon as the command center walked, all the officers and soldiers were branded, and the 'Dedication to Duty' buff was carried.
For Zhao Wenrui, this is the beginning of everything.
However, this is a bit dangerous at first, because he lacks four qualified soldiers.
The Shine System offers relatively few types of soldiers.
One of the lowest ranks, called the Ranger, is a female soldier.
After applying the shining system, the soldiers and the people are very separated, only the soldiers have the ability to hunt zombies, and the only thing the people can do is to endure and escape.
This can also be seen as a side effect of accepting the Shine Mind system.
Zhao Wenrui thinks this is a good thing.
Because under normal circumstances, ordinary people encounter zombies, not only will they flee, but they will also rise up to resist. One of the three major illusions in life, I can fight back.
From the commander's point of view, Zhao Wenrui would rather they have no enthusiasm, and from the mentality, they will concentrate their energy and ability on escaping and defending, which is easier to achieve, and it is easier for the commander to calculate.
That's the way it is now. Those who have been blessed with the buff of the Shine System will receive two special buffs in case of danger.
One is called Death Run. To put it simply, it is an escape at the explosive level.
The other is called desperate defense. It is necessary to rely on the architecture and carry out stubborn resistance.
The price to be paid for this is the lack of combat capability. It can be understood that if there is no one to rescue, the former may be able to escape the danger completely because he got rid of the pursuers, and the latter can only be broken for a long time.
Therefore, he is in great need of qualified soldiers now, otherwise he will have to carry his own gun and be the guardian of the entire team.
Fortunately, the starting capital he owned was systematically converted into simple and straightforward resources, represented by money, wood, stone, steel, food, energy, and population.
With the current resources, he is allowed to build a barracks, provided that the command center is rebuilt in a canonical manner.
In this way, a lot of stone and steel can be saved.
'Bang!' The office door was pushed open with a hard bang, and it was Jonathan who entered.
"General, I hope you will take back your order to rebuild the fortress. Without a solid camp, we won't be able to survive even one night. ”
Zhao Wenrui, who was packing up, glanced at Jonathan and said, "There were no zombies last night. ”
"But that doesn't mean there won't be tonight. ”
"But that doesn't mean there will be tonight. ”
"You!"
Zhao Wenrui waved his hand, interrupting Jonathan's intention to continue, and said: "Listen to Jonathan, your strategy, if it sounds good, it is called old Cheng Zheng, and if it is ugly, it is called a turtle tactic." ”
"You might say that Lao Tzu relied on this tactic to survive three pioneering operations. On this point, we can briefly break it down. ”
"First of all, throughout history, this tactic, in the last decade of the opening of the frontier, seems to have risen from a tactical point of view to a strategic point of view. All the commanders thought, 'If I am a little more cautious than my predecessors and do not go against their mistakes, I will succeed.'" There is nothing wrong with this idea itself, human beings are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors, learning lessons from generation to generation, and succeeding each other, so that there is a glorious civilization in the future. ”
However, any concept is excessive, and prudence becomes not seeking merit but seeking no fault, and that is not good. It will delay the fighter. ”
"Jonathan, we can't just tell our own truth and not look at the changes in the enemy. Are you sure you know the mechanism of the zombies? Do you think that the information on the market is always the truth and will not change? Do you think that the zombies will not adapt to change at all without intelligence? Then please explain why the zombies now don't bother the armored train?"
"Jonathan, the name of the turn expert is not good, but you still see it as an achievement, a manifestation of ability. I don't object to this, it's really a skill. What I'm against is that you, like many people your age, no longer look at everything with an attitude of learning, but feel like an expert, an authority. You are indeed an expert and an authority, but I send you the proverb 'Live to be old and learn to be old, let us encourage each other.' ”
Zhao Wenrui finally said: "You go down, I hope you remember that the next time you come in, you have to knock on the door first, no matter how urgent your business is." Also, please have some confidence in my intelligence, although I am young, it does not mean that I like to die. Finally, if you are interested, you can pack up and go to the front line with me later, time has passed, you should understand what the current zombie situation is. My predecessors were deep down and despised zombies, and I wouldn't. ”
Twenty minutes later, Zhao Wenrui and Jonathan, carrying an electrically driven three-wheeled off-road motorcycle, followed the railway first to the south and then to the east.
"Don't worry too much, Jonathan. The family did not hesitate to take advantage of favors this time to win the position of pioneer general for me, so naturally they made some preparations. For example, the use of satellites left behind by the information civilization, although only a part of it, is enough to keep me from being shrouded in the fog of war. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Wenrui handed Jonathan a very steampunk style imager, the round and somewhat protruding screen, the background color is green, and the translucent white light grid on it has a light wave pattern from top to bottom, and in the center of the screen, there are two blue dots, and there are red dots on the edge of a certain place.
It's easy to see that this image is always centered on the blue dot and shows the area, the blue dot represents them, and the red dot is the zombie.
Jonathan asked in surprise: "This is technology in the information age." ”
"I re-developed it after obtaining the relevant information, and although I have done many accuracy tests, I plan to test it myself. ”
Speaking, Zhao Wenrui introduced a more detailed usage, such as calculating the specific distance through display.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Wenrui set up a triangular bracket, measured the wind speed and humidity, and then shot in a fighting manner, the first shot missed the target, and the second shot hit the target 1,200 meters away.
"Come on, Jonathan, you try too. A new type of sniper rifle. My ancestors had a proverb that said, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.'" It means that if you want to do things well, you have to be as prepared as possible, and tools are an important part of that. I have a lot of good things with me in this development. ”
In fact, Zhao Wenrui is paving the way for the next comprehensive promotion of weapons and equipment that the kingdom is not equipped with, as well as construction technology.
There are three major classes of the Shine System, Ranger, Warrior, and Sniper.
The Ranger uses a steam recurve pulley, which is characterized by high camouflage, high speed, and silence. It is suitable for a small handful and a small number of zombies to be wiped out without alarming a large number of zombies.
Of course, it is not absolute, and sometimes it is possible to provoke a zombie riot or even a small-scale zombie tide that annoys the Swift Zombie or a more troublesome Crazy Corpse.
But if it is called 'tide', it is at least more than a thousand. Imagine the next school student, after doing recess exercises, rushing towards a point with a 100-meter acceleration posture, which is basically the effect of a small-scale corpse tide.
The warrior's armor is the most protective, and it looks similar to the 'human wolf' in the {human wolf} world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the modern use of plate armor in the era of cold weapons.
The weapon they use is a pump-type shotgun, which has a relatively strong ability to fight white soldiers, and is the main builder of the ** defense line.
The sniper uses a bolt-action sniper rifle, which is the kind that Zhao Wenrui used this time, the Thunder Child series, the movement is very large, the power is also very large, and the rate of fire is slow, mainly used to kill the special mourning among the zombies, such as muscle tyrants, spitting monsters, flying demons, these special mourners want to kill them with the weapons of rangers and warriors, which is more laborious.
"Notice it, Jonathan, the swift corpses that are mixed in with the ordinary zombies, although they usually swallow slowly, their marching posture is more like laziness than weakness. There is still a difference between the two, which can be distinguished by careful observation. ”
Jonathan was also obedient and asked, "You mean to carry out a small-scale purging?"
"Yes, piecemeal, snipers shoot swift corpses, and if they attract a small charge, they are blocked by a network of fire built by the warriors, and after weeding out these activists, let the rangers hunt them with steam bows and arrows. ”
"And what if it triggers a small wave of corpses?"
"A section of wooden walls, two or three wooden watchtowers, and then having a swift ranger run around with the zombies, a tactic I've wanted to test for a long time. ”
"Can you run in circles?" Jonathan had actually seen a group of zombies chasing a person, and more than once, but it was always passive.
"Theoretically true, in practice the problem is not very big. ”
This time Jonathan chose to be silent instead of refuting, in fact, he was still a little disappreciative in his heart, after all, this tactic, the one who attracted zombies, was really playing with his life, is there such a person?
He wasn't worried about whether he could do it. The reason why the Kingdom of Obonin can stand tall is not only the original protection of George, but also the 'heir of the king'.
The king's heirs are not descendants of George, but a group of people who can fully fuse with George's serum and gain special abilities without side effects.
Among them, the true king and the kings, the kings refer to the fusion with the artificial serum, and the true kings come directly from the royal bloodline.
This is also an important reason why George's direct descendants are still regarded as supreme in the passage of time.
The heirs of the true princes are basically promoted on the basis of the heirs of the princes, and their natural abilities and contributions are outstanding.
And even if it is the heir of the prince, it is not a cabbage, the entire kingdom, but dozens of people.
It's hard to imagine that such a heroic unit would play for Zhao Wenrui's circle tactic.
The king's heir is too expensive, so he can only use medicine people.
The medicine people are all felons, and the kingdom has not stopped trying to crack the super funeral virus, which requires a lot of ** experiments, and the medicine people were born in this background.
Medicine people also have a constitution beyond ordinary people, but they are often accompanied by serious side effects, especially those who are mentally unstable, they are a double-edged sword, and no one seems to have done it so far.
Zhao Wenrui did not pay attention to the heirs of the king or the medicine man, but the three main arms of the shining system, which can all be understood as biochemical products.
First of all, they don't turn into zombies, which eliminates the possibility of self-chaos.
Secondly, their spirit is different from ordinary people, and they have undergone transcranial surgery with high-frequency electromagnetic equipment, in which snipers will even have part of the temporal lobe of the brain removed.
Finally, their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, and the specific direction of reinforcement varies according to the characteristics of the class.
In a way, the soldiers of the Shine System are consumables.
But from another point of view, it is a manifestation of cherishment, because according to the description of the shining system, the system takes the route of elite soldiers, dealing with tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of zombies, and the number of soldiers does not need to be thousands.
Of course, if there are more than 100,000, the main force of the battle will no longer be soldiers, but weapons.
For example, the Shock Tower, which can kill zombies in a wide range.
But this kind of weapon is not good for special funeral effects, not only because of the higher tolerance of special funeral, but also because of their internal structure, which is not the same as ordinary zombies, and the shock wave frequency modulation is specially designed for them, which is very cost-effective. And the 'adjustable frequency' design complicates the weapon, making it more difficult to maintain and more likely to break.
Therefore, other weapons are needed to specifically target the special zombies, and the Shock Tower will be used to deal with the large number of ordinary zombies.
In other words, the sniper watchtower, the seismic tower, and the high wall, such a combination is a very good combination.
However, it is not easy to establish such a line of defense, you need to climb the technology tree of the Shining System, and in terms of resources, you have to follow the conversion mechanism of the Shining System.
What Zhao Wenrui is considering now is a more rudimentary, defensive means and tactics used in the initial stage.
After completing observations and some simple test items, Zhao Wenrui and Jonathan confirmed the mineral distribution in the Lower Tibetan Gold Valley area.
This mineral distribution is also identified according to the specifications of the Shine System. For example, there are abundant forests and many rocks here, which form a natural barrier, but these rocks, according to the regulations of the shining system, do not belong to minerals.
There is only one real mineral, in the western part of the entire region.
Zhao Wenrui knew that where he had to clean it up as soon as possible and start production, otherwise there would be no enough facilities, and he would not be able to withstand the wave of corpses after the 15th.
After inspecting the mining site, the two went north again, and the principle along the way was to explore deeply without zombies, and try not to provoke, just like that, the invisible boundary was slowly outlined.
Some places go directly to the bottom, such as the exit of the Zangjin Valley in the west, where the valley is long and narrow, the mountain is steep, more than 1,000 meters long, it is called the sheep intestine valley road, there are so many zombies, it is also easy to clean up, and the pass falls, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In the north, the situation is not very rosy. Just a little north at the corner where the train turned from east-west to north-south, there was a gap more than 200 meters wide, and Zhao Wenrui used a detector to peek inward, and the screen was densely packed with red dots.
According to preliminary estimates, it was a contiguous valley second only to the valley where the command center was stationed.
Jonathan thinks that once he holds the 200-meter gap, it will be OK.
Zhao Wenrui disagrees with this approach. Because he has a key piece of information prompted by the Shine System, 16 days later, a wave of corpses will come from the north.
This means that this direction is the main exit to the outside world, which refers to the kind where there are a large number of zombies.
Against this background, if the gap is guarded and the line of defense is forced, there is no room for slow turn.
In addition, since there are plenty of zombies in this direction, we have to consider the issue of circulation.
It is likely that at some point, there will be a small group of fish-touching zombies.
And this kind of circulation will also lead to small-scale zombie riots, which is the same as water dripping into the water and then causing ripples.
Generally speaking, this direction is a zombie living point, so it is the focus of defense.
And the other side of the steel bridge that Jonathan has in mind is not so dangerous.
I have to say that if there is no hint of the shining system, Zhao Wenrui will also focus on guarding the bridge.
Because of the call of the train, I saw a lot of zombies along the way, and even the land seemed to be poisoned, giving people a visual impact on the nest of the species.
Not far after crossing the bridge, there is a turn of almost 90 degrees, so the train often starts to slow down before it reaches the bridge.
Lack of speed, it is easier to be driven by zombies or even blocked, so the control of the bridge and the surrounding area can be said to be the guarantee of the retreat. The train came and went, and it was easier to lure the zombies to the valley from this direction. So anyone with a little brain can see the importance and danger of this place.
But now, Zhao Wenrui has a bolder plan, since the other side of the seemingly steep bridge is actually a zombie dead spot, just like a lack of stagnant water, be careful, it will only make slight waves, so why not organize combat forces and completely wipe out the zombies on the other side of the steel bridge?
Once the cleanup is complete, the benefits are naturally numerous.
For example, the safety of this section of the railway line is guaranteed, there is more ample room for detours, and there may be mines.
And when the corpse tide in the north moves south, there is no possibility for this side to respond and become another attacking force.
With such an idea, Zhao Wenrui reformulated the core strategy, and changed it to make every effort to clean up, divide and eliminate. Instead of waiting for the corpse tide to occur, all the zombies in the nearby area will go crazy, in that case, with the defense power of the newborn stronghold, it will be difficult to bear.
The two of them casually ate some dry food at noon to deal with it, and when they returned to the command center, it was already sunset.
Through the dim light, you can see the command center that has changed its appearance, and the barracks that stand on the ground.
Jonathan was surprised: "What did you promise them to make these people so motivated?"
Zhao Wenrui smiled, didn't respond, and said in his heart: "Where is this? The construction speed that shocked your eyes is still behind." As long as the resources are not stuck, the engineers will definitely be able to stop work and be a model of efficiency. ”
With the support of the shining system, Zhao Wenrui dared to let go of his hands and feet, and soon after he returned to the command center, he used up almost all the resources in one go.
He built a large number of tents in the eastern district (divided by north-south railroad tracks) in a frenzy until all the food and money were exhausted.
According to the regulations of the shining system, every time a tent is built, a part of the grain must be allocated, and this part of the grain is divided into production capacity, not the total amount, and production capacity means continuous loss, so much is lost every day. And the money is the cost of building the tent.
The tent provides the population, but also the benefit, which is abstract and is replaced by the concept of money for the sake of accounting, a tent that provides 4 of the total population, 2 of the available population, 8 gold per round (3 per day), 4 of the food capacity, 1 of the energy.
The trouble is that the real population is transported by train, and there is only one trip a day.
Therefore, how to plan the use of resources, when to build more camps, or upgrade camps, has become a matter worth considering, and it can even be said to be the key to success or failure.
This is obviously deliberately designed by C Kane, his human doppelganger, naturally he can't forget the essence of farming and development, and he can't do it if he is not proficient.
Therefore, the construction of facilities is closely related to the production of various resources, and the lack of planning will often lead to the situation of waiting for the rice to go to the pot, scratching the ears and cheeks, but there is no way.
Since the shining system provides a settlement system every 8 hours (only money), Zhao Wenrui has to take the initiative to adapt, and when he asks for himself, he can accurately control the overall situation based on combat through the shining system at any time, and try to spend the money as soon as it is in place.
In this way, others do it at home, but the workload is very large.
As a specific example, it takes time to build a soldier in the barracks, and you can pay up to 5 soldiers at a time.
But if this is done, the barracks will not need to be paid attention to from time to time, but there will be a backlog in the payment of expenses.
A Ranger occupies 1 of the available population units, consumes 2 of wood at once, and 120 gold. A tent only produces 24 gold a day, and it takes 5 tents a day's tax to produce a Ranger to pay back.
Producing 5 people at a time is equivalent to pressing 480 gold into it, if this money is misappropriated to other places first, such as building more business tents, is it the most profitable?
Obviously, yes, but training a Ranger is also urgent, which requires the controller to calculate the time required to train the Ranger, and just after one Ranger has been trained, the cost of training the next Ranger has been paid. There will be no window period, which will delay the overall speed of ranger training.
For example, the production settlement of mines and logging farms starts from the moment they are built, generally speaking, the cycle is fixed, and the corresponding resources are produced, so when to stop production, transfer the relevant personnel and energy to other places, it is also very said, if you see that a new round of resources is about to be produced, and choose to stop production, it will form a waste of personnel and energy, on the contrary, just produce a batch of resources, shut down in time, which is very economical.
It can be said that in the same period of time, the commander of the province can be cut in one detail, and the overall economy can be one-third more. After all, money can make money, one more camp account, 10 days will earn an extra 240 gold, the cost of two rangers is out, and with these two rangers, maybe the firepower is enough to deal with a certain operation, without damage, and a virtuous circle is achieved......
Correspondingly, the commander has to put several alarm clocks in his head to remind him when it is time to give the order, otherwise it will be self-defeating.
This kind of practice of bowing down to people is easy to die early and die suddenly, just like the legendary Zhuge Wuhou.
But at the beginning of his life, Zhao Wenrui had no more choices.
Becoming a king or defeating a villain, he is usually ruthless to himself, which is nothing more than seeking success and victory and survival. Although these needs have never been declared, they must not be ambiguous when they are concretely done.
Zhao Wenrui joined the reincarnation system back then, and this is how he started, and he tried his best to use every power as much as possible.
It's just that today's Zhao Wenrui started higher, so he didn't start as a scout, but was already a commander, he adapted quickly, and it didn't take much trouble to enter the role.
C, who was secretly observing, felt that at least the core line that the deity had chosen for his life was fine. He does have a talent for farming and commanding, and he is not the type who is good at individual fights and fighting on the front line.
After training two rangers, Zhao Wenrui ordered them to go to clean up the zombies overnight, targeting the handful near the only mining area in the Tibetan Gold Valley.
Even if they are hungry for a long time and their physique has deteriorated greatly, ordinary zombies still have the same running speed as ordinary adults, unless their limbs are damaged.
However, such zombies are difficult to pose a threat to rangers, as long as there is enough space, there are more of them, and they can be kited to death.
Therefore, Zhao Wenrui watched the battle from the perspective of the gods, mainly not because he was worried that the rangers would be in danger of their lives, but because he wanted to specifically verify the feasibility of the lap running strategy.
To prove that it works, you first have to determine how the zombies hunt and how to stabilize the hatred.
As it turns out, the zombie is indeed attracted to the closest target, provided it is not drawn to other reasons.
If it has already been attracted, for example, by an arrow, and the zombie has determined which one shot it, then a simple approach will not pull away the hatred.
There's also the idea of a blind obedience mechanism.
To put it simply, those who are behind are the ones in front of them, and those around are on par with the one who moves first, and the powerful zombies have the power to become the leader first.
This also means that if there is a swift corpse in a group, it is not the first to be alarmed, but it is faster and quickly crosses the crowd, at this time, if it is shot with an arrow and changes the target of pursuit, then the zombie behind it will follow it to change the target of pursuit.
In such a situation, blows from the flank, in order to re-affect them to change the target, need to meet two elements, the first is to be close enough, and the second is that the damage is high enough. Otherwise, even if you are injured, you will not change your original intention, unless that target is dead.
These factors have become the details that need to be paid attention to in the circle tactics, and because once the battle starts, the scene is relatively chaotic, and it is impossible for the rangers to grasp every detail, so they can only be reminded by him, the commander, because as a commander, he has a natural skill called time slowdown.
In fact, this is a kind of effect achieved by secreting dopamine, which makes the brain excited and has a stronger ability to process information, and it is not that time is really slowing down.
With this move, he will be able to command front-line troops and accomplish some tactical miracles. The disadvantage is still that, exhaustion, easy to sudden death, early death.
But for a person whose failure is equivalent to being sentenced to death, sudden death and early death seem to be gentle and slow, and death at any time is the most important concern at present.
