Chapter 215 107 Trillion (5 updates)
The Dark Prison Shooter and the Soul-Eating Sword Demon are the names the two mechanical apostles gave themselves.
It is said to be a name, but in fact it is more like a code name.
However, there are all kinds of weird names in the universe, so names like this don’t seem so special.
The Soul-eating Sword Demon is the name given to himself by the mechanical apostle ‘Swordsman’. The name comes from his most powerful ‘trump card’ ability, soul-eating.
The soul-eating ability can make the Soul-Eating Sword Demon become extremely terrifying in group battles. Once it kills an enemy, its strength will temporarily increase a lot. As long as the 'Soul-Eating Buff' is stacked, the Soul-Eating Sword Demon is almost as powerful as Called invincible.
The ‘Gunner’ named himself [Dark Prison Shooter], the name comes from his unique weapon [Dark Prison Tyrant].
His ‘trump card’ is actually the mode switch of [Dark Tyrant].
The sniper mode is the most lethal, but it is not the most terrifying in terms of combat power.
The scariest thing about this weapon is actually the melee mode.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a melee weapon. The [Dark Tyrant] in melee mode is still an extraordinary firearm, similar to a single-shot pistol or a hand cannon.
The physical attack is not as strong as the sniper mode, but it comes with a high amount of soul damage.
If the soul is not strong enough, if it is shot, the soul will be annihilated and die on the spot.
In the previous 'discussions' with Lord Tiebi, under Jiang Chen's order, they did not use their trump cards.
After all, it is a competition between our own people, there is no need to risk your life.
It is better to leave the trump card to the enemy.
Five kinds of mechanical units and two mechanical apostles.
This is just a framework for the new mechanical army.
There are countless powerful people in the universe, and various methods are emerging. To be able to cope with any situation, the mechanical army needs to continue to improve and develop new special units or mechanical apostles to enhance the comprehensiveness and comprehensive warfare of the mechanical army. Power and so on.
But the current level is enough to meet the initial needs of the Origin.
It only took a few decades to complete the design of these five mechanical units, most of which was spent on the design of the 'Thor' battleship.
It seems that there is only one 'arms', but in fact, in the process of designing the 'Thor' battleship, more than 1,600 design drawings were approved by the system. These are all 'Thor' battleships. 'The core parts of the battleship, each taken individually, are quite excellent designs.
Combined together, they form this extremely powerful and terrifying super war weapon.
Of course, this is not the most complicated thing.
So far, the most complex design Jiang Chen has completed is still the ‘Heart of the World’.
However, most of the parts that make up the 'Heart of the World' have not been recognized by the system and have been included in the system drawing library.
The one with the most included design drawings is the [Soul-Eating Sword Demon].
In the process of designing [Soul Eater Sword Demon], more than 13,000 design drawings were included in the system, while for [Dark Prison Shooter], more than 9,000 design drawings were included in the system. .
Their weapons alone have extremely high technical content.
According to the evaluation in the universe, they have reached the level of 'treasure'.
However, the weapon of the Extreme Blood Sword Demon is a little better. The weapon of the Dark Prison Archer [The Dark Prison Tyrant] can only be used by himself.
This thing not only requires strength and rules, but more importantly, it requires mastering the special method of adding extraordinary energy to bullets in battle.
Energy blessing is simple, but it is not easy to achieve the perfect combination of this extraordinary energy and bullets at the same time as energy blessing, producing an effect of 1+1>2.
This is a method unique to civilizations that are good at 'psionic energy'.
If this method is not available, then the attack power of [Dark Prison Tyrant] will barely reach the minimum threshold of the Universe Venerable, comparable to a slightly better heavy treasure.
In the world of Devouring Starry Sky, technological weapons are mainly developed in the direction of 'lasers'. This is because they have not mastered the means of 'energy blessing', which has resulted in a significant reduction in the upper limit of kinetic energy weapons.
Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to do this without the knowledge of the 'psionic' system brought by the system library.
But with this knowledge, kinetic energy weapons still have extremely powerful combat power when they reach high levels.
To some extent, the upper limit is higher than that of laser weapons.
——
After decades of testing, Jarvis and Nair unanimously concluded that the 'Management Mechanical Apostle' is fully capable of fulfilling logistics and management tasks, and is very cost-effective.
Especially since the occupied ‘quota’ is very low, converting a large number of them will not bring much burden to Jiang Chen.
Of course, don't expect them to have any strong combat power.
Although Jiang Chen gave them combat power comparable to ordinary immortal gods in order to ensure the basic survivability of the 'managers', that was all.
Ordinary immortal-level combat power belongs to the 'cannon fodder' level in Jiang Chen's mechanical legion sequence, and even the 'fanatics' are stronger than them.
However, managers are poor in combat, but they are unique in logistics coordination and management.
Slightly stronger than the earliest batch of mechanical apostles such as Nair, even without the cooperation of Jarvis, he can manage a large number of mechanical units alone.
With the cooperation of Jarvis, a 'manager' can easily manage all the details of a star field, maximizing the efficiency advantage of the mechanical army.
Under the suggestion of the first manager Apostle ‘No. 1’, Jiang Chen incorporated the mechanical void dragon into the battle sequence as the deputy of [Dark Prison Shooter] and [Soul-Eating Sword Demon].
The remaining mechanical puppet apostles serve as the managers' deputies, assisting them in performing various logistical tasks.
Under the allocation and scheduling of 'No. 1', the development speed of star field 6522 is much faster than expected, and now covers 80% of the galaxy.
The remaining ones are expected to be covered within a few years.
The newly transformed ‘managers’ have already led exploration troops into the surrounding star fields to explore and formulate development plans for new star fields.
After looking through the information for a while, Jiang Chen found ‘Number One’, the Dark Prison Archer, and the Soul-Eating Sword Demon.
"Master."
The three of them arrived at the base and immediately saluted Jiang Chen. "Sit." Jiang Chen pointed to the chair and said, clicked a few times on the optical brain, and a projection screen appeared in mid-air, displaying information about the new military unit.
"You have all read these materials and should be very familiar with them." Jiang Chen looked at No. 1 and asked: "No. 1, can you get it without affecting development? How many resources will be used to build a new mechanical army? "
"The resources that have been developed so far are roughly equivalent to 52 trillion Hunyuan units according to the prices within the ethnic group, of which more than 13 trillion Hunyuan units have been invested in expanding production, including the development of living planets, etc. "
"In the next stage, the current plan is to develop six star fields at the same time, and at least 30 trillion Hunyuan units will be needed in the initial stage. The investment in units, each star field invests 5 trillion Hunyuan units, if no adjustments are made to this plan, 9 trillion Hunyuan units can be produced.”
"In addition, out of the 300 billion mixed units of funds that you have previously allocated, there are currently 98 trillion remaining. Added together, that is 107 trillion mixed units."
No. 1 reported Ichiban continued: "If the master needs it, the development plan can be adjusted. In addition, even if no more funds are invested, the resources currently mined every year in the 6522 star field can be More than one trillion Hunyuan units, but it will not last too long. After all, the exploitable resources are limited. When the exploitable mineral veins are mined, the income will be greatly reduced. "
Origin. When the owner changes, those small ethnic groups often evacuate under the harassment and attacks of the demon clan before they have time to develop this territory, and many resources are not used at all.
After a long period of accumulation, there are so many exploitable mineral veins and so on.
In the short term, these accumulated resources are the majority of the income of the place of origin. Once the mining is completed, the income will be significantly reduced.
Regarding this aspect of exploration and estimation, No. 1 has submitted a complete report to Jiang Chen.
According to the current mining efficiency, within eighty years, the ‘maximum profit’ can be maintained, which is the profit of one trillion mixed yuan units per year.
After eighty years, the income will drop significantly and continue to decrease as the mineable mineral veins are exhausted. After three hundred years at most, the annual income will drop to less than 10 billion Hunyuan units.
This is still based on the premise that a large number of living planets can grow extraordinary plants and graze extraordinary beasts to earn profits.
If there were no income from these living planets, then we could only rely on the [Space Furnace] to earn some energy blocks.
However, to maintain the ecology of the galaxy, the number of [Space Furnace] arrangements is also limited.
This thing is best placed in the secret realm of the universe.
Placing it in a normal galaxy will cause some damage to the stability of the galaxy and reduce the lifespan of the galaxy.
Jiang Chen didn't know this before. After knowing it, the first thing he did was to take back the [Space Furnace] arranged in the solar system.
"There is no need to adjust the development plan. Only by developing more star fields can we earn enough resources." Jiang Chen said.
The total income from just one star field No. 6522 may be quite a lot, but it is definitely not enough to maintain a high-standard mechanical army.
107 trillion Hunyuan units seems like a lot.
But it is still far from Jiang Chen’s ideal mechanical army.
The most expensive thing about the Mechanical Legion is never the 'basic arms', but the strategic units and powerful mechanical apostles.
Jiang Chen previously transferred 300 billion hybrid units from the "Universe Technology Company", 180 trillion of which were spent on the Dark Prison Shooter and the Soul-Eating Sword Demon.
The strength of these two guys is entirely due to huge amounts of money.
To build new mechanical apostles according to the same standards, each mechanical apostle will also cost nearly one hundred billion or more.
What’s more, the ‘Thor’ battleship is also a big spender.
There are also items such as [Dark Archon], [Warp Arbiter], [Temple Mage], etc. Each one is not expensive, but if there are more, the cost will be equally terrifying.
"Keep the fraction as a spare, and take out one hundred billion Hunyuan units first." Jiang Chen looked at the Dark Prison Archer and the Soul-eating Sword Demon, and said: "This one hundred billion, I’ll give each of you half, and you can choose the configuration of your mechanical army.”
After a pause, Jiang Chen continued: "Except for the Thor battleship, which will not be equipped for the time being."
In the past few decades, the Dark Prison Shooter and the Soul-Eating Sword Demon have spent most of their time in the virtual universe. , use the virtual universe to simulate various war scenarios to practice commanding mechanical legions to conduct large-scale battles, or to encircle and kill powerful individuals, etc.
Sometimes, the two would each lead a mechanical legion to fight each other, and then sum up their experiences.
In terms of war and command, they have their own uniqueness.
As for the configuration of the mechanical army, they will naturally have their own ideas.
Jiang Chen naturally has his own ideas about the configuration of the mechanical army.
But the Dark Prison Archer, the Soul-Eating Sword Demon, and even the future mechanical apostles of the 'main battle' will sooner or later need to take charge of their own affairs. Jiang Chen is naturally willing to delegate power and give them a chance to practice.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the two mechanical apostles did not answer immediately, but were thinking.
The current mechanical legion has only five types of mechanical units, excluding the 'Thor' battleship, there are four types.
Even if other special units, logistics units, etc. are added, there are too few types and it can only be regarded as a framework.
When considering the combination, you should not just look at the existing units, but also consider the coordination capabilities after adding other new units in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is to fit their respective styles.
When the overall cost is fixed, there are naturally many changes.
"Master." The Dark Prison Shooter suddenly spoke and asked: "Does the fifty trillion only include the cost of manufacturing mechanical units, or does it include the consumption of energy, ammunition, etc.?"
< br>Compared with the biological army of the Zerg, the biggest problem of the mechanical army is that every war has a cost.
Energy, ammunition, and even casualties of mechanical units are all costs.
The so-called cannon fires a thousand taels of gold.
War in the space age is extremely expensive.
For example, the ammunition of 'Hellfire', the energy consumed by the 'Temple Mage' to release skills, etc., if the quantity is large, the cost will be staggering.
Jiang Chen thought for a while and said: "We only count the manufacturing costs, but in the future, the funds for your respective legions will also be fixed. They may be temporarily increased during wartime, but during non-war periods, the annual expenses will be fixed. No overspending is allowed.”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen spoke again: "Dark Prison, the bullets you consumed during the battle are also included in the military expenses of the First Army. Considering this, the military expenses of the First Army will be slightly more, but it is not It will be too much unless you need it. To deal with powerful enemies, you need to use 'highly explosive bombs'. In this case, you will be reimbursed separately."
'Highly explosive bombs' are the powerful special bullets used by [The Hell Tyrant]. It is possible to kill the Lord of the Universe with one shot.
As for the price...
One hundred and eighty million mixed yuan units, one shot!
