Chapter 1,425: Multiple arrangements, a lonely city where you can’t go home!
"Although it is the last version, the arrival of the final battle is not as hasty as you think. The first gambling battle will only start half a year later, and it is still unclear how long the gambling battle will last. If it continues inside
Three to five years, there is still plenty of time left for you to develop outside."
Sumo was not comforting, but told the truth: "Furthermore, I will decide the scene of the second gambling battle, so after winning the first time, the probability of our winning the second time will be very high!"
Although after the Death Tide disaster started, according to the power changes in the stages given by Adam, humans must win before the five stages.
But if you think carefully, it is not that simple for Death Tide to start the fifth stage.
The condition for entering the first stage is that five million people die.
If the natural disaster had not been determined before, without the help of these game functions, it might not take three or five months to get it together.
However, now that all functions have returned, all miscellaneous disasters have disappeared.
What threat does an infected body created by a zero-stage death wave pose?
As long as ordinary survivors are brave enough, they can fight the infected bodies with cold weapons.
In this case, there is no obstacle to the upcoming autumn harvest, and the bumper harvest is already close at hand.
With enough supplies, the winter of the next year will not be too difficult, and the number of deaths can be controlled.
Thinking optimistically, between stage zero and stage one, a buffer time of at least half a year can be provided.
From the first stage to the second stage, although the infected body can independently absorb the power of destruction, its strength will increase rapidly.
But by this time, modern weapons should have been developed in most human territories, and it should not be difficult to stop the infected.
And if you want to enter the second stage, the number of deaths must reach 20%.
Calculated based on the current 1.5 billion survivors, it would take 300 million people to sacrifice before it can be opened.
For this step, Somo gave at least three years.
Within three years, mankind will never pay such a heavy price without sufficient supplies and weapons.
Unless the alien race starts a war in advance.
Once the two sides start a war, the number of casualties will probably rise rapidly to 300 million.
However, if the first gambling fight does not end, there is a high probability that the foreign race will not choose to take action to increase the risk.
And when the gambling fight was over, the aliens launched an attack.
It only takes half a year to start the second gambling battle, and there is no need to worry about the death wave quickly hitting the later stages.
Because in the third stage, the death wave will add regular time locks.
There will be a one-year mandatory buffer for the third phase, and the fourth phase will not be started no matter how many deaths there are.
Only when the time lock is lifted, the infected body begins to absorb the wandering power of destruction.
When a certain value is absorbed, it will enter the difficult fourth stage.
At this time, the strength of the infected body will increase significantly, and it is almost impossible for small and medium-sized territories to survive the impact of the infected body.
It is difficult to judge how long Soma can last in the fourth stage, and Adam can only give vague guesses based on the past.
One year.
Dead humans will be resurrected immediately and become infected to join the death tide, thereby entering an irreversible vicious cycle.
If Sumo didn't want to see only one Tianyuan territory left in the wasteland, with only a few survivors left.
Then you must win two gambling battles within six years at the latest and four years at the earliest!
"If I have four years, it will be enough. I will bring out at least five 100,000 elite troops!"
Su Deben was decisive.
The territory is currently suffering from a lack of food and grass in the material warehouse, and there is no way to support large-scale off-the-job training of personnel.
But when the autumn harvest is over, everything will be different.
Based on the current scale of Tianyuan's farming, it can produce at least enough materials to feed two million people for a year.
With such a huge supply of resources, it is enough to provide full-time training for at least 20,000 people.
Later, sow to the east and harvest again in spring!
After the death tide arrives, there are no harsh natural disasters that will affect the harvest, and the cycle can only begin one after another.
This is the basis for whether human civilization can take root in the wasteland.
Otherwise, if inexplicable natural disasters continue, there will be no development and no final battle with alien races.
Even if the scale of farming in the Tianyuan territory is no longer expanding at the moment, they can still take advantage of the upcoming trading secret realm, use waterway trade, and exchange industrial products and agricultural territories for materials.
To supply three troops with a total of 500,000 troops, Su De was not just talking about it, but had already planned it!
"Half a million elite soldiers are definitely enough for us to protect ourselves!"
Sumo nodded and said, this number is already twice as much as the standing combat power of the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins.
If the number of people continues to expand endlessly, it doesn't mean much.
When the decisive battle finally comes, there will no longer be a distinction between you and me in the human territory, and all soldiers will join together.
Each of the three Yu families can provide at least two million soldiers, totaling six million people.
After mixing the troops from medium, large and small territories, the total force can easily exceed tens of millions of people.
But at this scale, even if there are hundreds of thousands or millions more people, it will not change the situation of the war.
On the contrary, investing the resources to supply redundant personnel into scientific research, logistics, intelligence, etc. can bring much more help than the number of people.
"I will lead the institute to shift the focus of research to weapons and defense equipment..."
Lu Kuan thought about it for a moment and sighed with some discomfort.
Since establishing a solid research foundation in energy stone technology, other aspects have seemed to have been opened up, and good news has been spread frequently.
At the weekly technical meetings, various departments in the institute seemed to be competing for credit, and breakthroughs were made one after another.
Now he suddenly turned his gun around and stopped other research to study weapons for both offense and defense.
It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just that I don’t know if we can maintain the current research speed.
However.
"There is no need to change research directions, just continue our existing research!"
Since the danger in the special space has been successfully overcome, Somo no longer needs to hide it.
Upon hearing that he had spent more than twenty years in the ruins, the conference room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Even if Lu Kuan and the others, who had been locked in a brain box for hundreds of years, put themselves into the scene described by Somo, they could only feel endless despair.
"You have been unable to move for more than 20 years and have been doing research?"
Lu Kuan swallowed his saliva and said with some difficulty.
Even if he loves scientific research, if he becomes a vegetative person who can only think, I'm afraid...
I'm not afraid, if that were the case, he might as well have died.
After all, being locked in a brain box, the consciousness can still be connected to the virtual reality. Except that many of the touches and senses are electronically simulated, the experience is almost the same as that of ordinary people.
"I'm not studying all the time. I still take a lazy break occasionally."
Sumo said in a relaxed tone: "And it's not just me who is doing research. There is also an entire earth's scientific research force cooperating with me in that special space. Although this part of the time is not long, a lot of good things have been produced.
.”
There are definitely no weapons of destruction, and national platforms do not allow private research institutes to engage in this.
But there are no restrictions on defensive equipment.
At present, in addition to the stress protection shield, Sumo also has at least ten advanced technologies in his mind that can be used on the battlefield.
"In the next period of time, I will gradually sort out these technologies. As long as they can be implemented and produced, there should be no need to worry about the defense end."
"As for weapons...it's best to use cold weapons for small-scale battles. If you can't use them, try not to use powerful bombs. Try to ensure that there is no large-scale environmental damage."
"Why is this?"
Feng Tianmin was puzzled on the sidelines.
"If we use cold weapons, we won't have much advantage against the aliens."
"Because of the disaster."
Sumo tested it and found that there was still no cognitive barrier in this part of the game, so he immediately said:
"You can understand that when using weapons to cause damage, it will also increase the disaster threat newly added after the version update. The more powerful the weapon used, the wider the damage range, and the faster the threat will rise."
"Is there any other way to say this?"
A group of people immediately realized there was trouble.
When the version was updated, it was indeed stated that after the death tide comes, there will be no large-scale disasters, but instead, it will come randomly to each territory, and a sufficient threat level must be accumulated.
Unexpectedly, using fire weapons would actually accumulate threat levels?
"Soon, there should be a territory that tests this. I just knew this in advance."
Sumo didn't say much.
Sometimes, knowing too much can actually increase the psychological burden.
Including the changes in several stages after the death wave, he did not intend to tell everyone present.
What is supposed to come will come. Worrying about it in advance will only make people panic all day long.
After explaining all the things that needed to be explained, Sumo took a sip of water and said solemnly:
"In the next period of time, I have other things to do, and I may not come back until the gambling battle begins. I don't know if the aliens have any means to detect that I am still alive, but we should do our best and listen to fate.
You still have to make some preparations, and you have to make them as beautifully as possible. As long as you can fool them, you can directly increase your winning rate by 30% in the first gambling fight."
"Secondly, with the opening of the secret trading realm, Tianyuan's trade will also be completely connected to other parts of the wasteland. I hope that everyone will pay attention to this opportunity and not have any behavior that despises other territories. In any case, everyone must always remember that no matter what
No matter what the lords of other human territories have done, there will always be innocent survivors under their command. As long as we can save these people, our goal will be achieved."
"Again..."
One after another, the illusory cards seemed to contain endless mysteries and power. Following the subtle movements of Somo's mind, they appeared one after another on the conference table out of thin air, as if being pulled by invisible threads.
There were so many of them that in the blink of an eye they quickly covered a conference table about twelve meters long and three meters wide.
in.
There are hundreds of first-level resource cards that shine with a bright white light.
The cards are neatly arranged together, and the pure and flawless radiance is intertwined with each other, reflecting a peace and hope, which is so beautiful that it is refreshing and refreshing.
Next came the secondary resource cards that emitted blue light, and the number was quite considerable, a total of sixty.
Each picture seems to be soaked in the color of the deep ocean, and the rich blue seems to be dripping, revealing a freshness and depth that makes people involuntarily indulge in it.
What's even more amazing is that there are even more advanced resource cards appearing one after another on the table.
There are cyan level three resource cards, purple level four resource cards, and red level five resource cards!
The more advanced cyan third-level resources, purple fourth-level resource cards, and red fifth-level resource cards.
And colorful six-level resource cards!
These resource cards, which had never been seen before and existed only in legends, were like magnets when they appeared, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.
"How to use it, whether to use it in the territory or elsewhere, whether to trade it or use it as a gift."
"It's all up to you to decide."
Wei has a saying that is right.
Taking foreign objects and using them to strengthen oneself is what human beings are best at.
Sometimes, if you let him use the resource cards, his vision will be too high and he will not be able to exert their true value.
Now that he had made up his mind to become a hands-off shopkeeper, Sumo simply stopped participating in the use of resource cards.
But in the final analysis, even to this day, even a level six resource card can hardly cause him to have too many psychological fluctuations.
When he achieves the status of Domain Lord of the Jushan Star Territory, he can easily make hundreds or thousands of these things.
Including never-before-seen level 7, 8, and 9 resource cards, which can also be traded with alien gods.
"So."
Sumo paused for a moment, stood up, and an unprecedented complex look flashed in his eyes.
"After I leave, I'll leave everything to you!"
...
He hurriedly returned to the territory and left in a hurry.
The total time taken before and after was less than an hour, and I only drank a few sips of hot water during the rush to Somo.
In fact, he could spend the night in the territory tonight, but when he thought that the aliens had probably begun to infiltrate, he could be exposed at any time if he stayed in the territory.
Sumo left decisively.
But this time when he left, he did not return to the boulder territory through the two teleportations included with the game.
Boom.
A thunderbolt flashed in the air, and the force of the drop from the B6 floor swept Somo and quickly fell to the south.
The destination is not anywhere else, but the location of Hu Lai City, a company that has obtained the qualification to launch.
The delivery speed is not as fast as game delivery.
More than ten minutes later.
Only then did Hu Lai City, hidden among the canyons, appear before Somo's eyes.
As the sight gets closer, the outline of the city gradually becomes clearer in the night, giving off an extraordinary momentum.
Through the light, you can vaguely glimpse the large and highly developed industrial areas in the city. Even in the middle of the night, this area is still brightly lit and the machines are roaring, showing a prosperous scene of unmanned and efficient operation.
Densely packed transport vehicles shuttle back and forth, like blood flowing through a huge body, tirelessly transporting supplies and supporting the operation of the city. People can't help but wonder what they are producing.
Surrounding this giant industrial city is a ten-meter-high solid wall, which is like an insurmountable moat, isolating the city from the outside world.
The wall stretches along the edge of the city, forming a spectacular circular barrier.
Outside the wall is the area where the survivors live.
According to the grade classification, every five kilometers is a grade. Now this dividing line has extended outward for nearly a hundred kilometers, forming circles of residential areas.
"It's really spectacular. If all human territories were like the city of Hu Lai, I wouldn't have anything to worry about."
"It's a pity that it's just an isolated city where you can't go back home."
Sumo couldn't help but sigh.
Although it is extremely difficult, if we can capture Hu Lai City before the gambling battle, we can empty out all the corporate technology stored in it.
For the impoverished human beings on earth, it is undoubtedly a huge help that spans the ages!
