The battle against the Zerg requires not only defense, but also offense.
Zone defense!
Joint attack!
There are three main purposes for the attack. One is to concentrate forces to attack and weaken the Zerg forces. The other is to develop new territorial stars. The third is to take the opportunity to complete the task and kill the high-level brood.
The first purpose is easy to understand.
As for the second goal, in fact, both the Zerg and the cities are developing and competing for new planets. Usually they always compete for the same planet and fight repeatedly. Sometimes the adventurers win, sometimes the Zerg wins.
The sign that the adventurer wins is to build a large and complete base. This base will be owned by the general with the highest merit in the joint attack, and will enjoy various benefits given by the system.
The sign of the Zerg's victory is that their carpet of bacteria covers a large area of the planet until they completely drive out humans.
This is how the planet territory of the adventurers and the Zerg came about.
The planet currently being fought is the Emerald Planet, which is rich in various gemstones and is very popular in the alliance. This is also the reason why adventurers seize this planet. Shen Yi is not the only one who wants to make a profit through business.
The reason why the Zerg robbed it was because humans wanted it.
The war on the Emerald Star has been going on for three years - the battle for each planet is accompanied by years of fighting and thousands of casualties.
At present, adventurers and Zerg have their own bases on this planet - so this is the only battlefield where humans and Zerg coexist.
Everyone wants to drive each other out, but no one wants to be kicked out by the other party.
However, neither of the above two goals is the most important.
The most important thing is the third goal!
Killing the high-level brood is the second main task that every general must complete. However, for most adventurers, the first main task should never be counted on, and the second main task is also not easy.
To understand how difficult it is, you must first understand a few concepts.
First of all, the standard unit of an adventurer's base is 10,000 square kilometers per person.
For example, Shen Yi's base has a radiation area of 100,000 square kilometers, so it is also called the ten-person standard.
Secondly, the construction funds of the base are roughly equivalent to the income of a month of normal operation of the base. This normal is based on the current best calculation standard for adventurers: that is, three converters per 10,000 square kilometers and two energy beads per day. of.
For example, Shen Yi and his ten-person standard base can generate 6 million in revenue per month after improvement. The entire base includes the construction of satellite bases, logistics construction of workers, basic defense standard proportion construction, supply center and factory construction, etc., in total. The investment is also around 6 million.
Of course, unless such a large amount of money is invested from the beginning, it is impossible to build it within a month. It can only be gradually improved by continuously collecting energy. Therefore, Shen Yi and the others racked their brains and took two months to complete. This is already Superhuman speed.
Now, let's assume that an adventurer has a standard unit base, and it also takes only two months to complete the construction.
Then the next ten months are the theoretical time to make money, and the income will be 300*2=6 million.
Does this mean that these six million can be used to strengthen yourself?
the answer is negative.
The first thing is to deal with the Zerg attack and have the facilities to make up for the damage. This part depends on the individual's strength. The stronger ones will suffer less, and the weaker ones will suffer more.
Secondly, additional expenses such as workers’ salaries must be paid.
Finally, there is the mobile force.
Let's keep the expenditures on the first two items to a minimum and limit them to one million. Then a standard unit base can earn up to five million in annual income.
So what's the result?
The theoretical maximum number of troops an advanced brood can lead is around 200,000, the brood's own strength is around 1,500 points, and its life expectancy is no less than a million according to an adventurer's analysis.
Although it is actually impossible to have so many troops due to war consumption, even half of it is scary enough.
Five million dollars spent on strengthening obviously cannot eliminate such an existence.
It can only be used to build an army.
All five million points are converted into points, and the army is built using the cheapest self-production method. One robot also requires a capital consumption equivalent to one-twentieth of the points, excluding ore resources.
In other words, if it is used to produce double-A-level robots, it can only produce 1,840 units, or 6,000 double-C-level robots.
Obviously, this amount of troops is absolutely not enough to destroy a high-level brood with 100,000 troops, no matter how strong the adventurers are and how good their tactics are.
In other words, in order to reach the point where the brood can be eliminated head-on, an adventurer must have a base equivalent to five standard units, develop 25 million resources to produce point troops, and implement good tactics.
Only by attacking the nest with all your strength can you complete the mission.
This is impossible for many people.
Even the Broken Blades currently do not have a base size of five standard units per capita.
In other words, not many people can do it at all, and even if they do, they don’t have much time to enjoy the benefits - what’s the point of doing it in the last month?
This is where the biggest problem lies.
Of course, there is no way.
The best way is to jointly attack.
Use the powerful base turrets to defend, attract the attention of the Zerg, and then attack the fleet to kill the brood. This is the best time for the generals to complete the task. Of course, due to the limited number of advanced broods, some generals are bound to be unable to complete the task, but at least
They have a chance.
This is the third important significance of the existence of joint operations.
Therefore, there will be a major joint operation in the simulated world almost every month. Shen Yi and the others are newcomers and do not need to participate in such an operation, but as the three months expire, he will also have to participate.
In fact, this is very bad for those bases that are still in the development stage, because it means that they have to invest precious resources in large-scale mobile forces and let them die!
This also means that their development is limited and precious resources are used instead of laying a foundation.
This is the third thing that delays the retreat after Zerg and logistics.
But they can't help but do it.
This is an order from the Supreme Council and must be implemented.
This is an opportunity for those generals who have not finished killing the high-level brood, and they will not allow anyone to fail to participate.
Generals have been doing this for years. When they are new, they hate joint attacks, but when they are old, they crave joint attacks.
It's as if the club's coach always hated the national team's coach for robbing him of players, but when he became the national team's coach, he began to hate the club for not letting him go.
But Shen Yi doesn't intend to do that - as a club coach, he doesn't intend to let any of his outstanding players go to the national team to waste energy.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi asked: "It is necessary to go on an expedition, but how many people to bring and how to fight, it is still up to the adventurer to decide, right?"
Meryl looked at Shen Yi: "It seems you have decided?"
"I will not change my plan easily. Next month is the development period of the satellite base. I must go all out for infrastructure construction and there is no extra money to invest in troops. Of course, since the Supreme Council has started recruiting, I will still send out the troops. And I will send out as many troops as possible, but before that..."
Shen Yi smiled and took out the intercom: "Zeus, redesign a plan. Stop the production of mobile weapons including fighter planes, tanks, tanks and all types of Terminator series, and fully produce shore-based turrets. I want to start the third Before the end of the month, we saw the completion of six satellite bases and all corresponding defense systems, including thirty energy converters, the completion of the development of the commercial area, and the internal portal between the sub-base and the main base. Everything that could be built was built. In short, don’t keep a dime except the salary that should be paid.”
"Zeus understands, the new plan is being adjusted."
"..." Meryl was speechless: "Actually, you don't have to do this. You can gain a lot of merit in the battle against the new planet, and it is not all a waste of effort and resources."
"Then do you know why I don't want to join the joint base?" Shen Yi asked.
Meryl gets it.
It's not that Shen Yi doesn't want to get merit, but he hates any action that disrupts his plan, or that only he can modify his plan, rather than others forcing it.
In order to develop freely, he is not even willing to join the more trouble-free joint base. What does a mere combat achievement mean?
"So are you sure you don't plan to contribute to this joint attack?"
"Of course not, I will do my best...my personal best." Shen Yi replied with a smile.
"As expected, you are still you, don't you miss every detail... Well, I'm looking forward to your good news, I'll leave first." Meryl waved her hand.
"Won't you stay for a drink?" Shen Yi asked.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"Forget it." Shen Yi hurriedly waved his hand. After this woman became a saint, her speech became much more spicy. Shen Yi sympathized with Zhou Yiyu quite a bit. It seemed that he couldn't control Meryl.
In the following days, as Shen Yi said, construction began again with great enthusiasm. This time, the construction of the satellite base, which had been delayed many times, finally began.
The satellite base is an important support for a core base. The biggest significance is to expand the radiation range of the energy converter. After all, the energy converter in the original core base cannot reach the predetermined radiation range due to the limited distance. It can only be achieved through the satellite base. Truly exert the effect of thirty energy converters over 100,000 square kilometers.
Of course, since it is a satellite base, the base's defense power will not be too strong.
But don't worry, because in the eyes of the Zerg, the satellite base is far less valuable than the main base.
Although they are smart, they do not know how to cannibalize. In other words, their cannibalization strategy is based on the main base with a central control system. After all, if the central control system is destroyed, all satellite bases affiliated with the core base will also be destroyed.
Therefore, although the Zerg will also attack satellite bases, they are actually divided forces under the same unit, and they still mainly attack the core base.
However, the expansion of the satellite base will lead to an increase in the actual control area of the base, which will increase the offensive strength of the Zerg to a certain extent. This means that 150,000 Zerg may become 180,000 or 200,000.
However, considering that the satellite base investment is small and the income is greatly improved, the resource ratio brought by its expansion is actually higher than the offensive pressure brought by the Zerg, so it is still very necessary.
In fact, a base mainly relies on satellite bases to make money. An independent base without satellite bases has basically no profitability. If it does not play well, it will suffer losses. People like Shen Yi can develop so quickly because of their strong personal strength. Just to get money from the wilderness.
In addition, portals can be built between satellite bases and core bases for troop dispatching, but only for bases of the same force unit. Even ** bases in a joint base cannot use portals to teleport if they do not belong to the same team. .
Because the so-called joint base is not actually recognized by the system. The joint base is a spontaneous combination of adventurers. Just like the four major organizations, the system only recognizes teams with contract restrictions and independent bases under team management. Everything All are done in this unit.
Since the construction of the core base has developed rapidly in the past month, there is basically no need for investment. The Broken Blade team already has sufficient funds to use, and it no longer has to be stretched as before. In addition, the workers' lives have been greatly improved, and the number has increased. , labor efficiency has also been greatly improved, so it only took ten days to complete the six small satellite bases.
Shen Yi did not waste the remaining time, but immediately carried out the first round of expansion operations.
Expansion of the base Shen Yi did not adopt the traditional method of expanding the area based on the original base, but directly built a new ** base.
This new base is built on the other side of the original base, forming an angle with the core base. It is still the standard of ten people. More workers and resources make it expand faster, and many things can be omitted, such as the business district, such as Advanced central control system - the basic level is still needed, this is a must have.
This expansion of directly establishing new military bases also makes the two military bases look like a prototype joint base.
Due to its rapid expansion and its large base, that is to say, by the time his first round of expansion is completed, the actual expansion will be equivalent to three rounds of expansion by others.
This is a bit like the Soviet fifth-generation aircraft concept and the American fourth-generation aircraft concept. Although the numbers are different, they are essentially the same thing. In some aspects, the fourth-generation aircraft is even more advanced than the fifth-generation aircraft.
Shen Yi said that he should take it easy and take it step by step, but the adventurous and enterprising character in his heart made him establish a firm foothold and start drastic expansion. He has a tendency of not giving up until he can't hold on.
In fact, he is like the human king SKY. He opens bases before building troops. It is even more extreme than SKY. After opening one base, he has to open another one.
Unless he opens several sub-bases and makes more money than he can spend, he won't stop them.
After finishing, you need to upgrade the base again to make sure there is nothing left to upgrade before exploding the population.
Others also imagined that he would do that, but they didn't have the strength and confidence to do so.
Who asked Team Broken Blade to come in? They had six level 10 heroes and a few allies - although the allies had never been of any use.
Not to mention that few people dare to do what Shen Yi did in front of the Supreme Council and the generals - even though they also want to do that.
During this time, the Zerg attacked again.
The attack was before the first round of expansion. At that time, five of the six satellite bases had been built. With the help of a complete ground defense system, they easily withstood this wave. As expected, even the defensive sky was not allowed to be broken by the Zerg, and they defended The only loss to my chastity was that the unfinished satellite base was directly taken away by the Zerg, and two more energy converters were lost along with it.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Zhou Yiyu used a bloodline transformation and used the huge body of the fortress giant for publicity, and the effect was quite good.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Zerg did not attack them mainly this time. This time the main attack became the Eastern District.
When the battle was at its fiercest, Shen Yi also expected the other party to ask for help. Unfortunately, the East District was also very capable and managed to survive on his own without asking for his help.
Shen Yi deeply regrets this.
Therefore, when Wen Wen and others returned from the wilderness, Shen Yi was completely unafraid of anything, and that was when the first large-scale expansion officially began.
At the same time as the expansion, Broken Blade Team's promotional advertisements also began to be distributed on the system star. The image of the fortress giant's invincibility really attracted a lot of attention. Although no one would invest immediately because of this, there is always no shortage of human beings in the world who dare to take risks for money.
When the first businessman who came here to test the waters returned to the system star with a ship full of ore without paying any fees, the news spread rapidly on the system main star.
More businessmen began to come to Tianwei to prospect for gold, the Broken Blade Base gradually became lively, and the commercial district was booming and developing at a rapid pace.
However, it will take time to fully mature. Don't expect any benefits in a short period of time. In other words, the only benefit is that workers are more motivated.
Of course, don’t expect to be able to delay workers’ wages because of this.
Gentle and they came back with two additional pieces of good news.
First, the home world has completed the construction of many more battleships, but Shen Yi told Wen Wen not to bring it up in a hurry - because the joint offensive operation was about to break out, and he did not want to be forced by the Supreme Council to take out all the battleships. Go ahead and use it, you can’t force me to use it if you haven’t got the simulation world, right?
Second, this second trip to the wilderness finally allowed Hong Lang to collect all the bloodline fusion materials. After Shen Yi prepared a special fusion potion for him, Honglang's bloodline consumption was finally not so high, because all the materials were used. It is a high-grade material, coupled with the effect of Shen Yi's real alchemy, Hong Lang's bloodline consumption has been reduced to 30% of the original.
This is the consumption that should be consumed after the bloodline of the Killing Demon God is merged with the bloodline of Sargeras. It was too much before.
However, after completing the bloodline, Shen Yi sent Hong Lang, King Kong and Fatty out into the wilderness to collect money. Hong Lang was quite complaining about this, so you might as well tell me not to come back.
She was so gentle that she didn't go, because she also started to glare: "Don't you want to see me?"
Shen Yi could only send Fatty over instead, and at the same time hinted with words: "In a few days, it will be the day of the joint attack. Killing insects does not give you any benefits, and the merits are not bloody, so you know..."
He almost said that I didn't want to participate in the joint operation.
Relying on the wealth and more manpower brought back by the three people, when the three months were about to expire, the construction of the new military base was completed.
The investment in the new core base is less than that in the first base because some functional buildings can be shared. For example, there is no need to build a commercial area, the number of factories has been appropriately reduced, and the internal turnover mechanism has begun to operate. However, due to time and funding issues, the satellite base Not created yet.
In three months of development, the Broken Blade team's base changed from one ten-man base to two ten-man bases.
In terms of scale, it is no less than a small joint base. However, due to structural problems, it can only be regarded as two independent bases. However, its development momentum is enough to stun everyone.
Correspondingly, the maneuverability is pitifully small.
There are currently a total of 300 Destroyers in the base, all of which are double C-level and have not been upgraded at all. There are 400 ordinary Terminators, including 300 T1000s alone. This is a typical example of not attacking but only defending. Shen Yi said It is unacceptable to produce 1,000 and lose 800 to oneself; the 80 Hunters are also junk without upgrades. This is a complete abandonment of air superiority; the 1,500 soldiers recruited by the system are only enough to defend the base. Don't count on attacking.
There are countless forts. Currently, the total number of forts in the two bases has exceeded 1,600. Together with the fortress turrets, it has exceeded the 2,000 mark. The number is more than the number of soldiers responsible for operations. However, after the fourth month comes, , Shen Yi will replenish the troops - this time he calculated the accounts very clearly, and kept calculating until the moment before the expedition, ensuring that there will be no extra troops and no extra money to buy troops.
This is Shen Yi’s base, with its bizarre configuration, typical expansion flow, and numerous defense towers. It looks like a human race leader flash①.
With the completion of the second base, the base now has forty converters that convert energy every day, providing about twenty-seven energy beads every day. When the satellite base is completed, it will provide forty energy beads every day.
In a few days, it will be the day of the joint attack. Shen Yi began to estimate how many troops he should bring from the existing base and how to attack.
The initial development plan has been completed, and the mid-term development has begun. Everything is going smoothly. Now what Shen Yi wants to think about is how to gain the most benefits with the least force and the least cost in the joint attack.
Well, this idea is a bit shameless.
Forget it, let’s aim to fight this battle well and strive to make more contributions.
Resisting your superiors is a skill that requires courage rather than recklessness, calmness rather than impulsiveness. The most important thing is that you must resist while leaving enough face for your superiors.
Therefore, you don’t need to send many troops, but you still have to fight hard when it’s time to fight.
Just as he was thinking about it, a guard came to report: Cliff is here, and with him is an old friend, Zhou Hao.
