Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shadow Knight
Looking at the Sasha ship system lit up in the exclusive mall, Shi Man looked at the 1.5 trillion ISK left on the account, and couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.
This ISK is hard to earn, and it is also spent quickly!
[Congratulations on successfully unlocking the Republic of Sasha's intelligent life - Chelm Solan, and unlocking the exclusive technology [Chelm Solan Research Laboratory]]
[Congratulations on successfully unlocking all the warship technologies of the Republic of Sasha!] 】
[Congratulations on unlocking Sasha's Republic of Intelligent Life and all its warships, and rewarding Sasha's exclusive technology - Shadow Iron Rider!] 】
Chelm Solan Research Room?
Shadow Rider?
Shi Man's mood suddenly improved, and the depression of spending a large amount of money was all swept away.
"Ora, this [Chelm Solan Research Laboratory] and [Shadow Iron Knight] are what you said they need the most at the moment, right?"
"[Chelm Soran Research Room] is brought by Chelm Solan after unlocking, and this is also what every official comes with after unlocking, after all, every pirate official is an excellent scientific research scholar." Ora smiled, but then shook her head, "Although the improved equipment produced by the [Chelm Solan Research Laboratory] is good, it is not what is needed at the moment. ”
Aura projected the Iron Rider with two sets of spikes on its body: "[Shadow Iron Rider] This is what we need at the moment!" ”
In this regard, Shi Man is very puzzled, this is just iron riding technology, and there is nothing special about it?
Admittedly, the Shadow Rider is expensive and has a lot of damage in the game, but it's nothing unusual!
Ora went on to explain, "This Shadow Rider is a heavy Ironrider carrier-based aircraft, and its attack method is a pulse cannon, which has good electrothermal damage, and has a fast rate of fire, and its damage is among the best among Iron Riders. ”
"I know that." After all, it's Sasha's Iron Horse, and he must have inherited Sasha's energy cannon technology, "But if you can defend with Iron Horseman, then wouldn't I just unlock other Iron Horsemen?" ”
The unlock price of each ordinary iron rider is only 50 billion, and there are no other requirements, he can unlock them all now.
"It's different." Aura shook his head and projected the Shadow Knight's attributes, "In addition to the regular pulse cannon attacks, it also has a powerful feature - self-detonation!" ”
"The Shadow Knight's special structure allows it to be equipped with highly compressed energy, which can be used to break through its shields by releasing high-compression energy to actively ram enemies, and then self-detonate to inflict a devastating attack on its armor and structure!
Especially for flagships that can deal a devastating blow, which is what we need at the moment! ”
At present, Shi Man does not have a formed flagship fleet, so it is very difficult to fight at the flagship level, so the means to counter the flagship are what they urgently need.
It's nice to be able to counter the flagship, but this is an iron horse, and it's a heavy iron horse!
"We're only starting to build Sodiyo now, and Sasha has just been unlocked, so we have to wait until the [Soul Returner-class] supercarrier is launched, and it has to be organized into a formation, which is not a short time!"
Shi Man said very worriedly, this heavy iron horse can only be used by a supercarrier, and his only supercarrier at present is the [Soul Returner-level] that has just been unlocked, not to mention that Sodiyo is still being manufactured and has not yet been established.
Even if it is established, the manufacturing cycle of this supercarrier will take at least more than two months, not to mention that more defense fleets will be built now, and the basic resources are already seriously insufficient.
And now war can break out at any time, and both time and resources are seriously constraining them.
"Your Excellency Commander, this Shadow Iron Rider is not only the heavy Iron Rider used by the supercarrier, but also the [Standing Shadow Iron Rider] used by the space station, this is what we need at the moment!" Ola said with his right hand on his chest and a slight bow.
They are not afraid of a conventional-level war now, after all, whether it is the Maude Regiment or the soon-to-be-formed Sasha fleet, it is not very vain, but they are afraid that the other party will use flagship-level combat power to forcibly dismantle the space station without martial arts, and they don't have flagship-level force now!
But with this [Standing Shadow Iron Rider], it is different, and there are means to deal with the forced demolition of the flagship space station.
"How powerful is this [Standing Shadow Knight]?"
"Three groups can destroy a small aircraft carrier, five groups can destroy a dreadnought, and the Great Voyage and the Titans can also destroy it if there are enough of them!"
Aura looked at the [Shadow Iron Rider] on the projection, and was very confident.
"How much does it cost?" Holding back his excitement, Shi Man asked very calmly
Since it is so powerful, the cost will definitely not be too cheap.
Aura's confident smile suddenly froze a little, and then he said with some sarcasm: "Because the cabin with high compression energy needs to be specially built, the cost of each Shadow Iron Rider is not cheap, based on a group of six Shadow Iron Riders, the resource cost of each group can make ten battleships." ”
Shi Man was a little silent when he heard this, it was not equivalent to exchanging fifty battleships for one dreadnought on the other side, it was too much of a loser!
With their current resource reserves, they don't seem to be qualified to lose like this!
Now, whether it is Sodiyo, the Soul Returnee Supercarrier, the Sasha Fleet, or the Maude Regiment, they all need a lot of resources to build, not to mention the need to build a batch of warships and weapons and equipment for battlefield reserves before the war comes.
The gap in resources is too great now!
"Resources and time!" Shi Man couldn't help but sigh, "Ora, how is the deal with Omega?" ”
"Not ideal." Aura turned off the holographic projection and continued to report, "At present, the breath of war is intensifying, and the basic resources in the Omega Star Domain market have increased in price significantly, and they are even out of stock from time to time, and the resources currently purchased are just a drop in the bucket. ”
No one is stupid, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the battlefield is coming, so they have hurried to buy basic resources to deal with future wars, or wait until the war comes before selling them for a windfall.
"MD, these dead profiteers!" Shi Manqi slammed his fist on the table, and after calming down, he said to Ola, "Go and contact the group of guys in the Omega Consortium directly, just say that we are selling the battleships and below, and ask them if they are interested." ”
War is a resource, but also a war reserve, I believe that they will be interested in the warships of New Eden.
"Yes!"
Ora nodded in response.
Instead, the doorbell rang.
Shi Man motioned for Aura to open them, thinking that it would be an angel wandering around the space station, but he didn't expect it to be a tall human girl who came in.
Just when he was surprised, the girl walked up to him and saluted, and said with great seriousness: "The commander of the First Fleet of the Republic of Sasha - Chelm Solan, come and report to His Excellency the commander!" ”
Chelm Soran?!!
Shi Man looked at the cold royal sister in front of him, a little incredulous.
Isn't this Chelm Solan a balding middle-aged man in the game?
How did you become a royal sister!!
