Chapter Forty-Eight: Ironclad City Upgrade: The Third Grade

Irma, Bucher, Saipan, and Sophia are all alive, and they are either missing arms or legs, and the injuries are not light.

But most importantly, they're all alive!

"Clean up the battlefield!"

Li Yinguang did not have the slightest joy on his face, and commanded in a deep voice. This time, more than half of the personnel of the 'Castle' were lost, and the rest of the people were not in very good condition!

Looking at the fallen 'Butcher', the immediate crisis was resolved, and after dismantling the 'Butcher', the obtained steel materials could not only repair the damaged deck, but also increase the volume of the 'Castle', which could make the Ironclad City even bigger.

"Cannon?"

Li Yinguang was stunned, looked at the 'cannon' installed on the 'Butcher' and swallowed and spit, his back couldn't help but feel cold, and he was afraid in his heart, if this was to show his head and let someone come to the house with a cannonball, it would not be the 'Butcher' who would finish the calf, and the battle situation would be completely rewritten.

Godda, the butler, said, "Yes, the cannon, and the one Old Dick sold." ”

Li Yinguang: "...... In other words, this 'cannon' turned out to be the one installed on the Kasbah? ”

"Yes!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Yinguang had a smile on his face, and muttered, "Goddess luck bless!" ”

In addition to the Cannon, the Butcher also has a Hawk Arrow launcher, as well as a full load of fuel, food, and water!

"Fix the spot, treat the wounded, carry supplies!"

Li Yinguang turned on the radar and determined the surrounding situation, they were located at the edge of the jungle, not deep, the threat of the surrounding beasts was not high, and the terrain could also play a certain hidden effect.

"Bucher!"

He called Bucher, who was in charge of the maintenance, and pointed to the 'Butcher', and asked, "How long will it take to disassemble it?" ”

Bucher raised his hand and gestured with two fingers.

Li Yinguang's brows furrowed: "Twenty days? Is it going to take that long? ”

The taciturn Bucher said with a rare smile: "Two days! ”

"Two days? Can this big guy be dismantled in two days? Li Yinguang still frowned, and his words were a little skeptical.

Buhe said: "This belongs to the category of 'Iron City' devouring, it will be very fast to swallow small speeds, and it is slower to swallow small speeds." ”

Devouring the Category?

Seeing that Li Yinguang didn't know much about the characteristics of the ironclad city, Buhe said to him popular science: "Every ironclad city, from scratch, is a process of shaping, just like a baby who leaves the mother body and is born into this world.

Every time an Ironclad City is created, it will have its own 'exclusive characteristics'.

Some 'ironclad cities', the moment they are manufactured, are extremely powerful, with huge tonnage, thick armor, amazing weapon systems, and even equipped with detection radars, and have their own sub-combined cities.

But some, the tonnage of which it was made is very small, there is nothing special about it, and it doesn't even have a weapon of its own.

It's like the 'butcher' in front of you, when it was in the town of Mambach before, it didn't even have a 'cannon', only two 'Eagle Arrow' launch pads.

It's like someone was born into a rich family, with a golden key in his mouth, hundreds of millions of family fortunes in his hands, and power. And some people are born and are very ordinary in all aspects, and their families can't provide much help, so they can only go out and work their own. ”

Speaking of this, Buhe stopped, looked at Li Yinguang and asked, "City Lord, do you understand?" ”

Li Yinguang was a little speechless, and raised his hand to signal him to continue.

Buhe grinned and said, "Therefore, every 'ironclad city' that appears in this world will choose its own master, or be chosen by the master, so as to walk on the wilderness, strive to strengthen itself, and become a legend."

The fastest way to upgrade the 'Iron City' is to devour it, find those smaller Iron Armor Cities than yourself, defeat them and then devour and absorb them, so that they can become your own nourishment. ”

Li Yinguang waited for a while, and when he saw that Buhe had stopped, he didn't mean to continue, he blinked his eyes and asked: "In other words, 'Devouring' is the exclusive ability of the Iron Armored City, and every Iron Armored City is alive?" ”

Buhe thought for a while and nodded, "Perhaps, but this 'life' should be put in quotation marks, the life form of the Iron City is absolutely different from that of humans or beasts. ”

Li Yinguang seemed to understand, after all, there were too many mysteries in this world, and there were incredible things that he had never seen.

Curious to ask: "How did the Castle 'devour' the Butcher and upgrade itself?" ”

"Through the smelting furnace!"

"Smelting furnace?"

Li Yinguang was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Wouldn't it be that after the 'Butcher' was disassembled, it could be thrown into the smelting furnace?" ”

Bucher nodded: "That's right, that's what I did!" ”

Li Yinguang said in surprise: "Then why do you need to do it yourself to repair the deck?" ”

Buhe spread his hands and said helplessly: "City Lord, the upgrade and maintenance of the Iron City are two concepts, and they need to be repaired after they are broken, just like you, you have a broken arm and want to install a mechanical body, this is called maintenance." From a child to an adult, you eat food and absorb the nutrients inside! ”

"Got it!"

Li Yinguang nodded, it turned out that this was the case, and asked happily: "Then if our 'Castle' devours the 'Butcher', how old will it be?" ”

Buhe shook his head: "This old cloth doesn't know either." ”

The look in his eyes seemed to say silently, you are the 'Iron Armored City Lord', can you ask me about this kind of thing?

Li Yinguang didn't talk nonsense, he waved his hand and dismantled.

When Buhe led people to dismantle the 'Butcher', Li Yinguang took people to clean up the battlefield, and the mechanical vehicles that could be used were left, and those that could not be used were used as materials and thrown into the 'smelting furnace' to supply the 'Castle' to devour and upgrade.

"Master, what about the corpses of these people?"

Butler Goda asked.

Li Yinguang thought about it, sighed and said, "Just like our people, dig a pit and bury it." People die greatly, I hope they will be born in the prosperous world in the next life, and don't come to this chaotic world again! ”

"Yes!"

There are four 'Z2' smelting furnaces on the 'Butcher', but the 'Z2' smelting furnace is larger than the 'Z3' smelting furnace, and the smelting furnace can also be upgraded through the 'Iron City', but only the 'main smelting furnace'.

Before the 'Iron City' reaches a certain scale, the smelting furnace does not need to be divided into primary and secondary, the so-called 'master' means that all the smelting furnaces installed in your Iron City can be dismantled, but there is one left, providing basic kinetic energy to the Iron City, which can make the Iron City move, then this last remaining smelting furnace can be called the 'main' smelting furnace.

When the scale of the 'Iron Armored City' reaches a certain level, the smelting furnaces installed in the Iron Armored City are of high and low grades, and the highest level can also be called the 'main' smelting furnace.

In the end, how to determine the 'primary and secondary' smelting furnace is defined by the ironclad city lord.

If it is defined as a 'main' smelting furnace, before this smelting furnace is dismantled, there must be a smelting furnace of the same level in Ironclad City, and the 'main' smelting furnace must be changed to the same level smelting furnace.

Once the 'master' smelting furnace is determined, it can be upgraded in the Iron City with the 'Devouring' smelting furnace.

The upgrade of the Z3 smelting furnace to the Z4 smelting furnace requires the 'feeding' of three 'Z3' smelting furnaces.

Therefore, the four Z2 smelting furnaces dismantled on the Butcher, according to the law of upgrading the smelting furnace in Iron City, four into one system, four 'Z2 type' smelting furnaces are equivalent to one 'Z3 type' smelting furnace. But in fact, the kinetic energy provided by four 'Z2 type' smelting furnaces is equivalent to three 'z3 type' smelting furnaces, and it is not cost-effective to devour them, and if you take them to Mambach Town and sell them worth at least 12,000 silver bull coins, you can buy three 'z3 type' smelting furnaces.

In the control room of the 'Castle', Li Yinguang sat on a chair, even if his hand did not touch the control console of the Iron City, he could clearly feel that the various materials dismantled from the Butcher were decomposed and absorbed into the 'smelting furnace'.

It's a 'eating' process, which is completely different from fuel burning.

When the 'Smelting Furnace' disassembles the steel, it will directly become part of the 'Iron City'.

In my mind, the data model of the 'Castle' Ironclad City has added extremely detailed data, and the height, length, width, and armor thickness of the Ironclad City can be adjusted.

After thinking about it, Li Yinguang did not blindly increase the volume of the 'Castle', but put more absorbed steel materials into reinforcing the 'deck'.

In the past, the overall thickness of the armor of the ironclad city was only '2 armor', and the thickness of each armor was 1.5 cm, and the thickness of 2 armor was 3 centimeters.

Li Yinguang raised the 'Castle Armor' to '5 armor' in one go, making the deck thickness directly to an astonishing 7.5 centimeters, which can at least resist a few 'cannons' without much damage.

In order to avoid waste, the four 'Z2' melting furnaces were rearranged and installed on the Castle, bringing the number of melting furnaces on the Castle to eleven.

The stored fuel is enough for the Kasbah to travel 5,000 kilometers in the wilderness.

Three days later, the Castle restarted and sailed out of the jungle to the 'Snowy Wasteland Supply Point', where there were medicine doctors and mechanical bodies to be replaced.

An icy rain swept across the land.

In the muddy soil, a hand suddenly stretched out, and in the rain, Suo Tu crawled out of the soil, pulled out the crossbow arrow stuck in his left eye, and then the necrotic eyeball was also taken out of the eye socket.

"Bruce, my butcher will not kill you."

In the rainstorm, Suo Tu Yangtian roared angrily.

The butcher didn't even die, he used the trick of feigning death to fool the crowd, and he didn't run out of the dirt until the 'Castle' Iron City left.

The embarrassed Sotu walked with difficulty in the direction of the town of Manbach.

Li Yinguang, who was sitting on a chair in the control room, couldn't help but sneeze, looking at the dark sky outside, the heavy rain made the afternoon enter the darkness in advance, and the temperature plummeted a lot.

"Ghost weather!"

Li Yinguang couldn't help but scold.
