Chapter 207 Prospects for Industrial Development-City Building Order

The defensive equipment currently equipped by the combat team is almost the same set that Ningze found from the world of the Orcs. It is a kind of police equipment, including body armor, protective helmets, and some miscellaneous defensive equipment.

In addition, there are iron and wood shields made by the territory itself.

The ironwood shield has a good effect in combat. Its lightweight characteristics and high strength hardness can bring good protective effects in actual combat.

But the disadvantage is that the main raw material used for the ironwood shield is ironwood. This resource has basically lost its source. The death of the strange big tree still has a big impact on him.

Looking at the set of police equipment, the protective effect of the body armor is indeed good. It is also inlaid with steel plates, which can well protect the weak points of the wearer. It can be said that after these days of fighting, if there is no such defensive equipment, then The casualties of the combat team will be much more serious, and there may even be a large number of combat deaths.

However, the shortcomings of police defense equipment are still obvious, that is, they cannot provide a comprehensive defensive effect. The main protection is the main body of the upper body. Under high-intensity combat, it cannot provide any defensive effect in other parts. .

Moreover, police defense equipment is also a resource that cannot be obtained again. After these days of fighting, there is also a lot of damaged police defense equipment. It may be enough for the combat team to assemble and use in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely Insufficient situation occurs.

Zhao Leici also spoke again: "Currently, my subordinates are researching a set of defensive equipment that is truly suitable for territorial combat personnel. The iron-wood shield has good actual combat effects, but after all it is just a wooden shield. Even if it is strong enough, it is difficult to catch up with some elite shields." Iron shields, and wooden shields may have negative effects when faced with fire attacks."

"In addition to these, personal defense equipment should also be arranged. Considering the physical fitness of combatants in the territory today, perhaps armor made of fine iron is a better choice. Not only can it have better The protective effect is more comprehensive.”

"However, the lord also knows the situation of his subordinates. He has no experience in building defensive equipment, but these subordinates can learn about them one by one. There will always be someone in the territory who will know more about this knowledge. When the time comes, my subordinates We can also design a set of defensive equipment that is more suitable for territorial combatants."

Ning Ze also expressed his agreement with these points he said.

The fundamental reason why modern times choose body armor as the mainstream defensive equipment is not that the defensive effect of body armor is better than that of ancient war armor. It can even be said that if the armor of ancient war is piled with enough materials, it is more defensive than body armor in terms of protective strength. It's more than one level higher.

The main reason why body armor replaces armor is because of two reasons.

One is the weight of the armor. If you want to stack the armor to achieve excellent protective effects, then the amount of steel that needs to be used is certainly not a small amount, causing the overall armor weight to exceed what ordinary people can bear.

But this problem is no longer a problem. Now that the average strength of each person in the territory is several times or even ten times that of a normal adult male, even if he is wearing a suit of armor weighing one or two hundred kilograms, he can move freely. Even if the physical fitness of the combatants in the territory improves in the future, this situation will be further improved.

The second reason is the issue of cost. The cost of ancient armor is not cheap. It is not that the raw materials used are expensive, but that if you want to create a qualified set of armor, the craftsmen need to invest a lot of time and energy. a period of time.

If the weight issue can be ignored, then this issue is the main factor affecting the territory's current ability to equip all combatants with armor.

This is also the main problem that Zhao Leici needs to solve at the moment. If he cannot build a set of armor in a short time, then he may have to find another way to equip territorial combatants with armor.

However, craftsmen with the soul of a blacksmith can add quality when making artifacts, which is a big help, so Ning Ze still has a certain optimism about this matter.

"Okay, you will focus on studying this matter next. If you need anything, you can always ask it, whether it is personnel or technology. If conditions permit, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Ning Ze didn't say too much, especially in terms of personnel. In fact, the manpower in the territory is not very sufficient now. Several major institutions have already used a lot of manpower, and the next first phase of the building also uses a lot of manpower. Ten manpower.

The combat team also used a lot of manpower, and the remaining people collected some basic resources every day. This group of people cannot be too small, otherwise it will directly affect the subsequent development of the territory.

"It seems that after the expansion pack is over, the next stage of development is to gather more people in the territory as soon as possible. Now there are only more than 200 people in the territory, which is relatively less. And I'm afraid there will be other places that need to be used in the future. To a lot of human resources, I had to take that into account.”

After Ning Ze left the Institute of Technology, he focused on the subsequent development of the territory. Currently, the territory is still in a stage of great demand for basic manpower. The fundamental reason is that the territory has not yet achieved industrialization. .

"On the steam engine side, people from the Academy of Sciences are already developing it. The steam engine is not that difficult to understand. Many players have even begun to tinker with it."

"It's just that the industrialization brought about by the steam engine is still relatively limited and can only be used in a transitional manner. Therefore, we will eventually enter a further era of industrialization. This depends on the research on new energy sources at the Academy of Sciences."

Ningze is not in a hurry about this. The current research on luminous plants at the Academy of Sciences is still in its early stages, but judging from the temporary response, everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

At this moment, he suddenly received a private message. It was a message sent to him by Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi: "Lord, I have something important to report to you. This matter may affect the future layout of all players."

Looking at the message sent by Wang Zhi, Ning Ze couldn't help but be startled. Originally, he wanted Wang Zhi to talk about it, but after thinking about it, he decided to let Wang Zhi come to the territory. It would be convenient to ask him in person. many.

At Ning Ze's call, Wang Zhi quickly received the notification and prepared to transmit it through the anchor center.

At this time, the benefits of the anchor center are gradually revealed. A distance of hundreds of kilometers can be instantly teleported in just ten seconds.

If it is an ordinary anchor point, it will take several transmissions at least, and there will be some unknown risks during the transmission process.Therefore, Ning Ze couldn't help but have the idea of ​​collecting more central anchor points in the future. Moreover, ordinary first-level anchor points were not enough at this stage, and he had to start arranging higher-level anchor points. , it is best to use the fifth-level anchor point directly in one step.

The transmission distance of the fifth-level anchor point reaches one hundred kilometers, which can be said to be absolutely suitable for most situations. However, a fifth-level anchor point is not cheap. Every three first-level anchor points can only be upgraded to a second-level anchor. points, and each subsequent upgrade will also cost three times more.

After calculation, a fifth-level anchor point requires a full 81 first-level anchor points, and the manufacturing of a first-level anchor point requires fifty stones. In other words, a fifth-level anchor point requires a full 81 Not to mention the stone marrow, more than four thousand stones are needed.

"Based on my current scale of exploration, it is estimated that ten level five anchor points are enough. However, considering further exploration in the future, the number of level five anchor points required may rise to a terrifying number, and one level five anchor point It requires so many resources to build it, and I don’t know if this situation was considered when this damn thing was designed?”

For most players, even a fifth-level anchor point requires only a huge amount of stone resources. It is obvious that this thing is for the rich, even the rich will know how to use it. My balls hurt.

At this moment, Wang Zhi came to this territory through the Anchor Point Center, and Ning Ze was also waiting at the Anchor Point Center.

"I've met the lord!" Wang Zhi quickly greeted him with his hands in hand.

Ning Ze waved his hand and said, "It's more important to get down to business!"

Wang Zhi also immediately straightened his expression and saw that he immediately took out a stone from his backpack. To be precise, it was something similar to a token.

【City Building Order】

[Description]: After possessing this item, you can establish a main city.

There is very little information about this item, even only a few words, but the information contained in it is indeed majestic. Just three words "City Founding Order" can show its gold content.

"An item that can be used to establish a main city? But there is no description of the main city, but how did you obtain this thing?" Ning Ze asked.

Wang Zhi did not dare to show off at all, and said directly: "This is the reward that my subordinates will get from the treasure chest after the expansion pack ends."

Ning Ze was a little surprised, and then said: "If I remember correctly, you probably didn't participate much in this expansion pack, right?"

Wang Zhi said: "It is true. The exploration points obtained by my subordinates this time are less than one thousand. This is also due to the fact that the lord finally led his subordinates to explore an ancient ruins point. However, this exploration point actually has no What a substantive effect, the exploration points ranking treasure chest that can be obtained is still the lowest level, it is just an ordinary black iron treasure chest."

Although Wang Zhi is one of his subjects, his existence is also quite special. Unlike other subjects, Wang Zhi still has his own territory. From a certain level, he is still a The player has just become a player of other lords and subjects, so he still has the right to participate in this expansion pack.

Other territorial citizens who have lost their territories will not be able to participate in this expansion pack, and therefore will not be able to obtain the ranking treasure chests of the expansion pack.

But regarding Wang Zhi's situation, he was also a little confused: "It was just opened from a black iron treasure chest. In terms of quality, isn't this city founding order something good?"

The quality of the treasure chest determines the quality of the item rewards that can be obtained. The treasure chest rewards in this expansion are divided into the following levels: platinum treasure chest, gold treasure chest, silver treasure chest, bronze treasure chest and the lowest level of black iron treasure chest.

The higher the quality of the treasure chest, the fewer players can obtain it. In other words, the black iron treasure chest is the treasure chest reward that most players can obtain. As long as they participate in this exploration of the ancient ruins, even if Even if you only get one exploration point, you can also get a black iron treasure chest.

But Wang Zhi said with a heavy face: "Lord, you may have thought wrong. In fact, this city founding order is a good thing, and it is also a rare item. In fact, it was opened from the black iron treasure chest this time. The player who issued the City Building Order is not just one of my subordinates, there are many other people who also issued a City Building Order."

"Wait!" Ning Ze suddenly interrupted: "You mean, the city founding order can only be obtained from the black iron treasure chest?"

Wang Zhi said: "Yes, my subordinates took a look at the chat interface before and found that there are not a few players who have issued city building orders, but they are not too many. Some people have probably estimated that the city building orders issued this time are probably It’s about 100 yuan, and all players who issue city building orders get them from the black iron treasure chest, without exception.”

"It's interesting!" Ning Ze couldn't help but nodded and began to think deeply, then asked: "Do you know anything else about this city founding order?"

Wang Zhi also thought for a while and then said: "Although there is not much introduction to the city founding order, in fact many people in the chat channel have already used the city founding order. But as for what will happen after using the city founding order, it should be No one knows yet, because the City Building Order will only take effect an hour after it is used. Judging by the time, it is estimated that the first batch of people will use the City Building Order successfully by now, and we may be able to pay attention to such people."

Ning Ze also immediately looked at the time on his pocket watch. It was already six o'clock and forty-three minutes. The reward settlement for the expansion pack starts at six o'clock. If someone is quick enough, then it will indeed be at seven o'clock. When Zhong came into his early years, he witnessed the effect of the city founding order.

"Okay, there are still ten minutes left, then we'll see how things go."

While waiting, he was not idle, but was always paying attention to the situation in the chat channel.

The emergence of the city founding order can be said to have caused huge turmoil in the player group. Although no one knows the actual effect of the city building order yet, a considerable number of players have become interested in the city founding order.
