Chapter 230 Preparations before going to the battlefield outside the territory (5 updates)
From the perspective of combat units, the cost of the ‘Commander’’s 100 million Hunyuan units seems too high.
For the same cost, an 'upgraded' fanatic is more powerful than a 'commander', and the difference is not even a little bit.
But in terms of the ability to control large-scale troops, the 'Commander' is the strongest.
The ability to accurately command each mechanical unit has a huge impact on the combat power of the mechanical legion, and it can even be several times worse than the combat power.
Moreover, although the ultimate control ability of the 'Commander' is between 10 million and 30 million mechanical units, this is not something that cannot be improved.
If equipped with a 'command center' with sufficiently powerful computing power, it can significantly increase the upper limit of the number of controls of the 'commander'.
It can even be said that there is no upper limit in theory.
How powerful the computing power is, how many mechanical legions the ‘commander’ can control.
Jiang Chen is already preparing to design a ‘command ship’ with a powerful computer set and signal amplification capabilities.
If this thing can achieve the desired effect, one legion, coupled with a 'commander', can increase the combat power of six mechanical legions several times.
In addition, Jiang Chen also plans to send "commanders" to lead some slightly smaller mechanical legions to battlefields outside the territory.
On the one hand, it is to gain some merit. The military merits of the human race are still very valuable and can be exchanged for a large amount of resources.
On the other hand, it is also to capture some alien world lords and immortal gods so that Jiang Chen's body can devour their world.
For those troops that go to battlefields outside the territory, there is no need to be too strong.
The cost of building millions or tens of millions of mechanical legions at once is too high and not cost-effective.
The cost of each unit can be controlled at the scale of several billion to tens of billions of units.
This kind of combat power is completely enough to fight against the Invincible King. Against those ordinary immortals and world lords, it is a complete crushing, and the opponent will not even have a chance to self-destruct.
Get more troops and the efficiency of hunting strong foreigners will be much higher.
Just by guarding the place of origin, waiting for those alien clones to gather information, and conducting teleportation raids through the [Warp Arbiter], the risk is acceptable, but the efficiency is too low.
In addition, Jiang Chen also plans to complete his ‘realm master level life and death training’ on battlefields outside the territory.
Having the cooperation of a large group of ‘commanders’ can bring you a lot of advantages.
Although it is just a clone, Jiang Chen does not want to lose this very important main clone.
The main clone died last time and reappeared in the future. Once the aliens learn about it, they will definitely know that they have the ability of the clone. The next assassination will be even more threatening.
This main clone, which has the same identity as the main body, can survive, but it is better to try to keep it alive.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen logged into the virtual universe and checked his permissions.
Among the human race, except for the prisoners who have committed the most heinous crimes, the rest of the cultivators enter the battlefield outside the territory entirely of their own free will. Those who are willing to work hard to win high military merit rewards can sign up to participate on their own. If they are unwilling, don't force it.
There are only two exceptions.
First, prisoners who have committed major crimes but are not worthy of death will have a high probability of being sentenced to serve in foreign battlefields for a certain number of years, or they can be reinstated after obtaining a certain number of military merits. Free agency.
The other is the ‘life and death experience’ of the five secret realms and the core geniuses of the 1008 Universe Kingdom during their time as Realm Lords.
Either go to the extremely dangerous secret realm of the universe to complete certain special tasks, or go to the battlefield outside the territory to obtain certain military merits. Choose one of the two.
But whether you are forced or voluntary, when you go to a foreign battlefield, you must abide by the rules of the foreign battlefield.
Even the core geniuses of the five secret realms must comply.
First of all, you cannot choose which battlefield to go to.
The eleven extraterritorial battlefields will be allocated as needed. You can only participate in the battle on which battlefield you are assigned, and you cannot leave until you have obtained sufficient military merit.
Come, feel free to sign up.
But if you want to leave, you must obtain a sufficient number of military merits before you can leave.
This amount of military merit is determined by the virtual universe system based on the strength of the participants. The stronger the military merit, the higher the minimum amount of military merit required.
Of course, if someone is punished for committing a crime and is sent to a foreign battlefield, it will be decided based on the crime.
Secondly, operations on extraterritorial battlefields must also obey commands and distribution to a certain extent.
Only those who are Realm Master or above can act in the form of a 'squad', and there must be a squad willing to accept them.
If no team is willing to accept them, they must join the army and act collectively.
After obtaining enough ‘military merit quota’, if you are unwilling to leave and want to continue to accumulate military merit on the battlefield outside the territory, you can leave the army or squad, move freely, and hunt enemies.
As for the captain who establishes a team, he must be a 'free participant' who has obtained sufficient military merit, which also limits the number of teams.
Generally speaking, acting alone is naturally the most free.
Joining the army is the least free.
Joining a team is somewhere in between.
Normally, the core geniuses of the five major secret realms are randomly assigned to a certain battlefield. They first join a team of warriors, and after obtaining enough 'military credits', they are free, and then act alone to complete the arrangements of the five giants. Yes, a higher 'military merit quota'.
The former is determined by the intelligence in charge of extraterritorial battlefields in the virtual universe. Each level has an upper limit, and no matter how strong it is, it will not exceed this upper limit.
The latter is judged by the five giants based on the talent and strength of the genius, and there is no upper limit.
This set of procedures must be followed by all geniuses and cannot be violated.
Unless you have high enough permissions.
It just so happens that Jiang Chen has such authority.
After all, Jiang Chen’s teacher is the founder of the giant axe. Before that, Jiang Chen contributed his inheritance of ‘arcane knowledge’ to the ethnic group.
Whether it is status or contribution to the ethnic group, the authority is naturally extremely high.
Jiang Chen doesn't have to abide by these rules if he wants to go to the battlefield outside the territory.
This also made Jiang Chen secretly happy.
Jiang Chen doesn’t want to join a squad of warriors and slowly earn military merit without arousing suspicion.
What Jiang Chen wants to do is to directly take the mechanical legion to hunt and get enough 'trophies' as soon as possible.
After greeting the founder of Giant Ax, Jiang Chen submitted an application to enter the extraterritorial battlefield through the virtual universe.
Of course, it was not Jiang Chen's own, but in the name of the mechanical family, he applied for entry into the extraterritorial battlefield for his 'commander'.
For this batch, Jiang Chen plans to directly bring a thousand commanders with him.
A thousand commanders spreading out to hunt can also make their area safer.
When Jiang Chen is among the 'Mechanical Familia', even if he uses the mechanical legion to fight, as long as he hides it well, it will not be so easy for foreigners to discover his true identity. However, the ‘insurance’ that should be taken must still be prepared.
After all, this is an extraterrestrial battlefield. Strong men from the four major camps and countless ethnic groups are fighting each other. It can be called a huge 'meat grinder'. Countless strong men will die every minute and every second.
As a 'stable' person, in such an environment, Jiang Chen will naturally increase the 'chips' in his hands as much as possible to ensure his own safety.
Even though, it is not the main body that goes to the battlefield outside the territory.
The treasure points he sent to Chaos City for redemption have arrived. After Jiang Chen transferred his share to the Immortal Lord and the Iron Wall Lord, he still had less than 35 treasure points left.
Jiang Chen did not use all of these resources. He only exchanged one of the treasure points and a small amount of heavy treasure points into materials.
Five new mechanical apostles are already being manufactured, and it will take another year or two to complete them all.
This time when he goes to the battlefield outside the territory, Jiang Chen plans to bring these five new mechanical apostles with him.
Although the battlefield outside the territory prohibits combat power at the level of the Universe Lord from entering, Jiang Chen doesn't care so much.
As long as these mechanical apostles are not allowed to take action, there will be no problem.
If you really encounter a fatal crisis, you won’t care about following any rules.
What's more, in an environment like an extraterritorial battlefield, unless the enemy breaks the rules and sends combat forces at the level of a universe overlord into the extraterritorial battlefield, Jiang Chen can't imagine what kind of situation would put him in danger.
You must know that in addition to the small-scale legion led by a thousand 'commanders', Jiang Chen himself is preparing to lead a very large legion.
Even if millions of powerful kings besieged him, it would definitely not be Jiang Chen who died, but the enemy.
Only the kind of cosmic overlord who has a powerful defensive treasure and is not afraid of the siege of the mechanical army can threaten Jiang Chen's safety.
In that case, the enemy would not obey the rules, and Jiang Chen would naturally not rigidly abide by any 'hidden rules'.
The five mechanical apostles are the guarantee that we can escape safely if we encounter the worst situation.
As for the existing seven mechanical apostles, Jiang Chen decided to let them stay in the place of origin.
On the one hand, these seven mechanical apostles have already appeared, and their existence has at least been known to the demon clan.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen’s previous invasion...ah, counterattacking the Devouring Snake Clan’s territory caused extremely heavy losses to the Devouring Snake Clan, and the other party will definitely hold a grudge.
If there is not enough guarding force left, Jiang Chen is also afraid that something will go wrong here at the place of origin.
This is one of his ‘nests’….
Although it is only one of them, the place of origin is undoubtedly the most important one in terms of resource output, value, etc.
If the place of origin is lost, the development of the mechanical army will also be greatly slowed down.
This important ‘resource land’ cannot be lost.
Not only the existing seven mechanical apostles, but also the existing mechanical legions, Jiang Chen is not prepared to take them to battlefields outside the territory.
For the apostles and legions brought to the battlefield outside the territory, Jiang Chen planned to use the resources exchanged for that treasure point to directly create new ones.
With five mechanical apostles, plus a thousand 'commanders' and supporting legions, the resources of a treasure point can only be used up at most a fraction.
As for using it up completely, there is no need.
The current mechanical legion only has so much consumption capacity.
Blindly stacking the number does not make much sense.
It is better to retain resources and invest in the development of the place of origin, or other places, to plan for the long term.
Jiang Chen's current plan is to build an army for each new mechanical apostle he designs.
The size of each mechanical legion is roughly fixed. Including the mechanical apostles themselves, the overall cost is controlled within 30 billion units.
There are as many mechanical legions as there are mechanical apostles.
Of course, what I am referring to here is the ‘commander-level’ mechanical apostle at the level of the Dark Prison Shooter and the Soul-Eating Sword Demon.
In addition, if we design a 'special unit' such as the ['Thor' battleship] that is extremely powerful in a certain aspect but is not suitable for regular configuration of the mechanical army, then we will allocate another budget to manufacture it and usually put it in Jiang Chen Among the 'Directly Affiliated Legions', which legions are needed to perform tasks and can be temporarily borrowed.
Of course, not all mechanical apostles are suitable for equipping legions. For assassins like the 'Hell Walker', there is no need to equip legions.
However, Jiang Chen will also find a way to spend an extra amount of money to get a suitable treasure for him, or simply find a way to make one himself.
To sum up, the 'cost' invested in each mechanical apostle is similar, and the 'value' brought to Jiang Chen is also similar, but the positioning will be different.
As for Jiang Chen’s own ‘direct legion’, Jiang Chen was not prepared until he designed the ‘commander’.
Just when manufacturing the mechanical units of the six legions, hundreds of thousands more units of various types were produced for improvised use.
But now, it can also be put on the agenda.
As for the configuration, the overall comprehensive combat power of one's own direct legion, or it can also be called 'Legion Zero', naturally exceeds that of the six conventional legions.
In this army, Jiang Chen will not consider the cost issue at all.
The 'commander' in his own legion can prepare as many troops as he can control.
Expensive 'strategic units' such as [Temple Mage], [Warp Arbiter], and [Dark Archon] are all available in full quantity.
As for the ['Thor' battleship]...
Well, this is too expensive to satisfy my dissatisfaction.
A battleship requires six treasure points, which is almost as much as the cost of a mechanical apostle.
The key is that the output of many core materials is extremely rare, and it is difficult to buy them with money.
After giving the task of planning the direct corps to the 'Commander' and 'No. 1', Jiang Chen quickly received feedback.
The production of the direct legion takes about two years.
This time is not long, Jiang Chen decided to wait.
Two years later, the elemental sages were almost able to gather together the kingdom of gods that captured more than 100,000 immortal gods last time.
Relying on the ‘mental control’ of the [Dark Archon], it is not difficult to obtain the coordinates of the Kingdom of God of those immortal gods.
But each divine kingdom is scattered in different locations in the space mezzanine, and it would be too troublesome to devour them one by one.
Jiang Chen directly asked the elemental sages to arrange for the immortal demons who had been 'brainwashed' to move and gather the Kingdom of God.
When the time comes, you can use [God's Descendance] first to devour these kingdoms of gods, and then set off for the battlefield outside the territory.
