Chapter 214 New - Mechanical Legion (4 updates)
[Your design drawing of 'Shuttle Ship' has passed the system rating and been included in the drawing library. 】
[According to the rating of this drawing, you get 50,000 expertise points and 40 free attribute points. 】
[The effect of the specialty ‘Almighty Designer-Jiang Chen’ is triggered, and the level of the design drawing is increased by 10 levels (Level 6, Level 7 → Level 7, Level 7 and Level 8). 】
Opening the system drawing library and taking a look at the manufacturing materials of the upgraded 'seventh-level shuttle ship', Jiang Chen secretly cursed 'hot chicken' in his heart and sent the drawings of the sixth-level version to Jarvis. , let Jarvis arrange the production.
It's not that the seventh level is bad, it's just that it's too expensive.
The cost of manufacturing a Tier 7 shuttle ship is enough to manufacture over ten million Tier 6 shuttle ships.
And it doesn’t make much sense for this thing to have a too high level. The ‘shuttle ship’ is a special kind of transport spacecraft, and what is needed is quantity, not too high a level.
The reason why it has a sixth-level evaluation is also because of its ability to 'travel through space', which can greatly shorten the transportation time.
It has great strategic significance for traveling long and medium distances.
Equipping a large number of shuttle ships can greatly improve the efficiency of the mechanical army in transporting troops.
As for upgrading the shuttle ship, it only increases its normal flight speed and the defense of the spacecraft, which is not cost-effective.
“With the shuttle ship, we have a means to quickly transport troops within a large star area. No matter where trouble occurs, a large number of troops can be transported to the destination within half an hour. It is completely enough to prevent small-scale sneak attacks and harassment from the demon clan. Used it."
Jiang Chen smiled and said to himself: "With the addition of the mechanical units completed before, the general framework of the current mechanical army is ready."
A hundred years have passed since entering the place of origin.
In the Giant Ax Universe, one hundred thousand years have passed in the accelerated space.
In the past hundred thousand years, Jiang Chen has devoted almost all his attention to the renewal of the mechanical army.
After such a long time, there are naturally quite a few achievements.
It’s not that it’s completely upgraded, but the general framework has been built.
There are two main melee units: Bastion and Zealot, both of which are humanoid or humanoid mechanical units.
Among them, 'Fortress' is a purely defensive unit with very weak attack power but extremely powerful defensive capabilities. It is responsible for resisting enemy attacks and protecting its own units.
At the same time, the 'fortress' has a very special field that can limit the enemy's actions to a certain extent.
One or two, the power of the field is not strong.
But a large number of 'fortresses' joined forces to activate the realm, and even the Lord of the Universe was able to suppress it for a while.
Although it can only limit the enemy's range of movement and cannot directly cause damage or control, it is still very powerful.
‘Zealots’ are the main force in melee combat. They have no obvious shortcomings in terms of strength, speed, survivability, etc., but they do not have any means of long-range attacks.
In general, it is a unit with no particularly outstanding characteristics, but also no major shortcomings.
To be precise, the biggest feature of 'Zealots' is that they are cheap, costing just over 100,000 Hunyuan units, and possessing the combat power of an immortal army lord.
With such strength, the combat power of one hundred thousand Hunyuan units is already quite ‘cheap’.
Jiang Chen doesn't know the cost of cultivating immortal gods for other ethnic groups, but among human ethnic groups, on average, the resources invested by the ethnic group to cultivate an ordinary immortal are more than one million Hunyuan units.
Compared with this, the low cost of the ‘Zhuan’ seems quite outstanding.
Among the melee units, Fortress and Zealot are the absolute main force. According to the different combat needs of the legion, the proportion of configuration fluctuates.
In addition to melee combat, there are three types of ranged units.
The 'Hellfire' troops responsible for conventional mid- and long-distance operations have four spider-like legs and excellent mobility.
The weapon is an extraordinary machine cannon with extremely powerful firepower. It uses runes and secret patterns to increase its lethality. It has powerful fire suppression capabilities, and the bullets fly at an infinite speed close to the speed of light.
——It's not that it can't exceed the speed of light, but under the rules of the original universe, once the bullet flies faster than the speed of light, it will travel into the dark universe.
Infinitely close to the speed of light, combined with other special units with space capabilities, mechanical apostles, etc., it is enough in most cases.
Through the energy conversion inside the cannon, the bullet can also add powerful fire and wind damage.
When using conventional ammunition, the firepower of 'Hellfire' is enough to pose a fatal threat to the immortal gods below the feudal lord.
If a group of Hellfires fire a volley, or use more expensive special ammunition, the lethality can be increased by several levels.
Another type of medium and long-distance long-range troops is a kind of 'magic unit'.
It is said to be magic, but it is actually an application of psychic technology.
This unit is called the 'Temple Mage', and its core skill is also present in the 'Old Mechanical Legion', which is the Gundam Mecha's 'Psychic Storm Excitation Device'.
After being upgraded, it became a skill of the 'Temple Mage'. The power and killing range were also greatly increased. It is a magical skill for clearing a large area.
Another skill of the 'Temple Mage' is 'perception misdirection', which can disrupt the enemy's perception and cause the enemy to misjudge the size, location, etc. of one's own units.
However, the limitations of this ability are relatively large. Once the target that has been misled by perception is attacked, before the attack comes, the target will break free from the misdirection due to a strong sense of crisis.
For enemies who are in combat, this ability is of little use, which means that it is basically useless on the frontal battlefield.
However, this ability is of great help to the mobilization and arrangement of one's own troops, etc.
Only relying on the two skills of psychic storm and perception misdirection, the Templar Mage can become an absolutely indispensable backbone of the mechanical army.
The last type of long-range unit is the 'Thor' battleship. The main weapons are three 'black hole-class' main guns located at the front of the battleship, with three attributes: flame, ice, and space annihilation.
No matter which main gun it is, the power of a single shot is enough to destroy an ordinary-sized black hole.
Of course, the energy consumed by using the main gun is also very terrifying. With one shot, hundreds of millions of Hunyuan units will be squandered.
This thing is not meant to deal with a single strong person, but to deal with the enemy's position and line of defense.
And it must be a very high-level defensive position to be worthy of using these three main guns.
For example, supply bases in foreign battlefields.
In a conventional battle situation, the battleship's attack method relies on 81 plasma cannons placed throughout the battleship that can adjust the attack direction within a wide range.
Although it is a secondary weapon, the power of a single shot is enough to instantly kill the King of Feng Wudi who does not have a defensive treasure to protect him.
Even an ordinary Lord of the Universe has a high probability of dying if he is hit continuously by 81 electro-plasma cannons.
Of course, the premise is that you can hit the enemy.
This thing is a 'big killer' among the mechanical legion. It is extremely fierce on large-scale battlefields, but the cost is also high.
Building a 'Thor' battleship requires a huge amount of more than 60 trillion Hunyuan units.
In addition, whether it is the three main guns or the 81 secondary guns, they are all big energy eaters. Every time a gun is fired, a huge amount of money will be burned, even if Jiang Chen controls the power of a large star area. Resources can’t be used to create too many.
Such a high cost, coupled with the fact that it is only suitable for large-scale battlefields and not suitable for dealing with individual strong men, it is destined that the number of 'Thor' battleships will not be too many, they are only used to ensure The comprehensiveness of the mechanical army configuration.
Among the five conventional units, the initial designs are all sixth-level designs.
However, with the addition of exclusive expertise, the three units of ‘Thor’ battleship, Zealot, and Hellfire have been upgraded to the seventh level.
However, Jiang Chen only chose to build the seventh-level ‘Thunder’ battleship. For cost reasons, the remaining four units still used the designs before the upgrade in order to minimize costs.
In addition to these five conventional 'main units', 'strategic-level units' such as Warp Arbiters, Star Ports, Dark Archons, etc., have all been upgraded to level six and level seven by Jiang Chen. level.
However, there hasn’t been much change in terms of abilities, it’s just that the power has been increased to the level that the sixth and seventh levels should be.
Among them, the Warp Arbiter and Star Port were 'merged' by Jiang Chen, and the latter's 'skills' were merged into the Warp Arbiter, which was regarded as saving a unit.
As for the remaining detectors, transport spacecraft, signal amplification devices, etc., they are all supporting facilities affiliated with the Mechanical Corps and do not belong to the order of battle.
But these ‘supporting facilities’ are also indispensable.
After sending the new design drawing to Jarvis, Jiang Chen sorted out the information on the existing units.
According to Nair's suggestion, these have been reorganized in a way that is similar to digitization.
