Apocalypse device.

Cheng Shen found this research in the list of unlocked technologies in the temple.

This is an ancient technology inherited from the old era, but although it is very old, it is still quite advanced technology for the new era when civilization is almost out of date and the level of technology is equivalent to that of the new era restarted from the Stone Age!

The entire Temple of the Apocalypse is only a part of this installation.

It needs to consume an extremely large amount of energy to activate, and Cheng Shen estimated that the energy provided to the operation of the entire building is only enough for it to hit a blow.

But to be expected.

The destructive power it can cause will also be at the level of devastation!

This Apocalypse Device is equivalent to a Thunderstorm Chariot that has been strengthened by hundreds of times, or in other words, the Thunderstorm Chariot is simply a simplified version of the war weapon researched and manufactured based on this ancient device!

But.

Sadly, it is not complete.

Cheng Shen didn't know where the owner of the castle got the blueprints of this building, and he had no way of knowing. The explanation given by the system is that the device is missing some of the main architecture and cannot be started.

The broken device in front of us can only function as an energy transit hub.

It is responsible for extracting the energy from the energy spar and then transmitting it to the various workshops of the temple.

It is also the core structure that is responsible for the energy operation of the entire building.

Once it was damaged, the production building was largely scrapped.

"It's a pity ......"

Cheng Shen opened his innate ability to gain insight into the internal structure of this huge device, trying to parse its problems.

In fact, in terms of sophistication, this Apocalypse device is at most equivalent to a mechanical device in the steam age.

This is also the characteristic of magic technology, which can make the impossible possible.

Even if it's two completely incompatible, irrelevant parts.

It can also work with the support of special runes such as the Construct Golem.

As a result, magic devices don't need to be too precise.

Even if the level of electronic technology is achieved, the overall improvement of the device is not large, and the research resources required in the pursuit of high-precision mechanical devices are far beyond the benefits that can be obtained.

Let's take the simplest example.

Chip.

The more high-precision the electronic chip, the smaller the space it occupies inside the device, and the larger and more complex the amount of information it can process.

But in magic technology.

The soul of a high-ranking professional can completely replace this need.

Cheng Shen's current mental computing is no worse than that of basic civilian computers.

He's only second-order now.

One can imagine how exaggerated the speed of processing information would be if you were to be replaced by a higher-level spellcaster, or even a transcendent soul who has refined the Dharma system......

Of course, it is not easy to obtain the soul of a high-ranking professional.

And the development of chips does not need to cause any harm.

The development tendency of the two technologies has its own advantages......

The apocalypse device in front of Cheng Shen is a typical magical technology creation, and its internal mechanical structure is quite streamlined, so that even a layman like Cheng Shen, who has no engineering foundation, can see its basic structure at a glance.

And clearly determine the role of each structure.

As for the magic structure in it, Cheng Shen is even more familiar with it.

It quickly analyzed what was the problem with its failure to start.

"There are a lot of important structures missing......"

Cheng Shen's eyes were blank, he couldn't help but scratch his head, and his sense of anticipation for this device instantly calmed down.

In his hand, he has a talisman weapon that is also a creation of magic technology.

Birds.

Cheng Shen still has a certain understanding of the structure of energy weapons.

Energy weapons generally have three important components.

Energy storage devices,

Conversion device,

Start the device.

The energy storage device is equivalent to the magazine of a weapon, without this part of the structure, energy cannot be stored, especially for such a costly weapon of war, without which the energy storage device can not be activated at all.

The effect of the conversion device is to convert pure energy into destructive potential energy.

Just like the role of spirit runes in the release of magic.

Equally important.

Not to mention the final starting device, without this part of the composition, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is a pile of scrap metal.

Besides.

Most energy weapons will also be equipped with some auxiliary devices.

For example, in the structure of the bird, it is equipped with a set of energy aiming devices, which allow Cheng Shen to accurately lock on to the target when shooting, and there is also a set of amplification devices that increase the firing range and a set of amplification devices that enhance penetration.

The structure is quite complex.

And a terrifying war weapon like the Apocalypse Device, which can be called a campaign-level horror weapon, will only be more complicated by the auxiliary modules it is equipped with.

However.

Cheng Shen found out after inspection.

This broken apocalypse device is truly mutilated.

Not only is there a lack of energy storage devices and start-up devices in important infrastructure devices.

The rest of the auxiliary components are not even one.

It's basically an empty shell.

He also counted on this weapon of war to directly hit the deserted village, and maybe wipe it off the map......

I can only think about it now.

And with the level of technology he currently mastered, it would be completely impossible to restore the normal operation of this Apocalypse device.

I felt a pang of regret in my heart.

Cheng Shen then basically shut down the main functions of the Temple of the Apocalypse and no longer consumed resources.

The various crafting items it produces so far are enough for him to fight a war.

The building is running at full power, and the consumption is terrifying.

Not to mention the various basic materials needed to craft golems and props.

It's energy consumption alone.

Thousands of rare-grade energy crystals need to be invested every hour!

The castle has been stored for nearly a thousand years, and it was burned down in less than three days.

With the resource reserves of the Chengshen territory, it can only maintain its operation for four or five hours......

It's an exaggeration.

Cheng Shen was already thinking about whether to sell some of the storm warriors and props to regain his health.

These alchemical creatures, which are not afraid of death and are immune to most negative states, are used to open up unknown areas around wasteland territories, which can be called the most cost-effective choice, and will surely attract survivors.

But their purchasing power is a huge problem......

It's all poor.

Come to think of it.

Cheng Shen glanced at his lord's prestige.

Having won a war and killed a Transcendent Lord, his lordship reputation has already exceeded 1,000 points.

It seems to be approaching the 2,000 mark.

With a reputation of more than 1,000, the trade market has a chance to attract a second caravan.

Moreover, the level of development of the trade caravan will also increase as his reputation increases. To put it simply, the reputation of the lord represents the trading qualifications, and the higher the reputation value, the higher the level of trading that can be participated.

In any case, the next caravan he will greet will definitely have an economic level higher than that of the Grey Earth tribe.

Hopefully, they will be interested in the output of their own realm.

Turn your head.

Cheng Shen then inspected the two recruitment buildings, the Thunder Beast Lair and the Green Shadow Courtyard.

Compared to the Temple of the Apocalypse, the role of these two buildings is more pure.

The former can recruit three different levels of thunderbeasts, and has a chance to give birth to a king beast, but this king beast will only stay in the lair, and will only participate in the battle when the territory is breached and the lair is attacked.

Compared with.

After the birth of the King Beast, the additional perks of the building are more significant.

This thunder beast lair had already given birth to a king beast, and Cheng Shen had seen traces of its existence.

- in the resource warehouse of the territory.

Its body was dismantled and made into magic items with different effects, and its wolf king's soul was imprisoned in one of the equipment.

The castle's administrators don't want the Thunderbeast's lair to produce its own king.

All they need is a bunch of beasts that obey their commands.

Find out what is going on.

Cheng Shen came to the warehouse to take out the item and return it to the wolf's lair again.

In the dimly lit underground cavern, a pair of oily green eyes kept flashing.

He removed a large white wolf head from his backpack, a piece of head equipment that grants the wielder the ability to control wolves, and the perfect piece of equipment itself has a high stat bonus.

But at this moment, Cheng Shen did not hesitate to destroy it.

Syllable!

A clear mark cracked on the hard wolf's head, which quickly expanded, and a wisp of white ghost drifted out of it.

"Whew~!"

The ghost let out a long roar, and there was a series of responses from the cave, and for a while, the sound was like a tide.

Several huge silver-white giant beasts ran in front of Cheng Shen, these thunder wolves, each of them was the size of a yak, their limbs were as thick as pillars, they ran like the wind, and their hair was intertwined with flashing arcs.

They knelt down on their forelimbs as if to welcome the return of the wolf king, as if they were expecting something.

However.

The ghost hovered in mid-air for a while, but flew straight into the depths of the cavern.

Cheng Shen moved to follow, and several leader thunder beasts immediately followed him.

The wraith flew all the way to the deepest part of the cavern to the cave where the thunderbeast cubs were kept.

After a circle, he leaned over and burrowed into the body of one of the cubs.

"Whew......"

The thunder wolves suddenly stepped forward, protected the thunder beast cub, and bared their teeth in the face of Cheng Shen, warning him not to approach again, Cheng Shen immediately understood that it was in this way that the wolf king chose the successor.

I got it.

Why should the ruler of the castle imprison its soul?

"Birth of the King Beast...... There are good and bad choices for lords. The good thing is that the thunder beasts will be more combative, and there is a fundamental difference between an organized wolf pack and a group of monsters that can only rush around.

But I can't fully control this herd anymore......"

Cheng Shen pondered.

The Thunder Beast is undoubtedly a high-level recruitment unit, and the basic combat power of the adult body can reach the elite level, and in the same level, the attributes of the beast will be much higher than that of humans, and it is difficult to compete without equipment bonuses.

But just like the iron-blooded soldiers he cultivated, the cost of equipping them with a complete set of combat equipment was much higher than that of recruiting a thunder beast.

Thunderbeast's price-performance ratio is even higher than that of the Storm Troopers.

And.

Their value isn't just for head-on combat!

Cheng Shen's thoughts turned, and he measured the multiple uses of this race from various angles in a very short period of time.

First of all.

Thunderbeast cubs can be sold as pets!

The combat power provided by a thunder beast cub is a hundred times stronger than that of a thundering insect, and it can still be ridden when it is cultivated to an adult, and there is a probability of being promoted to a leader and lord unit, and the transaction value as a pet is extremely high!

And I have to say.

The appearance of the thunder beast cub is also a plus that should not be overlooked.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but pick up a howling thunder beast cub, its appearance was similar to that of a pastoral puppy, cute and cute, and the fetal hair on its body had not completely faded, like a milky white fluffy kiwi.

When it becomes an adult, the thunder beast will change into a silver-white charged hair, which is a little less cute and becomes very cool.

Although.

Appearance does not provide an additional bonus in the face of danger.

But compared to cultivating a monster like a polluted creature that makes people lose their minds when they look at it......

I think more people will still choose a pet with a good appearance.

Cheng Shen wants to raise one himself.

Of course, if he could, he would prefer to take away the young beast that was chosen by the soul of the wolf king......

The second is what I just mentioned.

The size of the adult swift thunder wolf can grow to about two meters, and it can be ridden completely, their frontal combat ability is not weak, and if it is used to train a wolf cavalry, it will undoubtedly be like a tiger with wings!

Cheng Shen never thought that his idea of cultivating war horses through pastures had not yet been realized.

On the contrary, there is a new way to harvest!

This recruitment building, in the hands of the original owner of the castle, is simply a tyrannical thing......

Cheng Shen counted the number of recruited beasts in the thunder beast's lair.

Among them, there are more than 200 thunder beast cubs.

It is worth mentioning.

Raising them to adulthood alone requires the consumption of nearly 10,000 units of meat.

This will put a great burden on Cheng Shen's territorial grain reserves.

But with his previous thoughts, he could completely sell all these thunder beasts.

While collecting money.

While leaving the burden of cultivation to the purchaser!

And the rest, the adult Wind Thunder Wolf has recruited more than 1,300 individuals.

To raise these thunderwolves, you also need to consume a lot of meat.

Cheng Shen couldn't feed them human flesh like the castle's original treatment plan.

Nor can they feed their own flesh ... Although he can infinitely proliferate flesh and blood tissue, his blood contains complex energy components, and it also contains strange pollution, and if he doesn't do it well, it is easy to cause a Resident Evil.

The best outcome is to sell as soon as possible.

That's it.

With just a thousand survivors in the community, it was a question of whether they could buy it.

Cultivating one or a few cavalry alone will not work at all.

It also has to be a formation to start.

But how many of the survivors can afford to raise a cavalry now?

Cheng Shen has no hope for their purchasing power.

But if he couldn't sell it, these more than a thousand adult thunder beasts would become a burden for him.

All slaughtered for meat?

Cheng Shen couldn't help but flash this rather wasteful thought in his mind.
