Chapter 348 The Quietly Changing Blue Star
While Jiang Yao was still worrying about where to get the materials for the next evolution of the insect nest, the players were making a fuss because new units were released and the news about the Thunder Beast was also officially announced at the same time.
At this time, a player in the chat channel was saying excitedly, "Brothers, the news about the Thunder Beast has been released, and it should be implemented soon."
After hearing what this player said, everyone also expressed their expectations for the Ultralisk, "It should be soon. I went to the insect nest before, and then I saw that there was already an Ultralisk parked there."
"I also went to see it. That thing is really big. Even the basic Thunder Beast is about the same size as the world's cockroaches and reaches a full five hundred meters in length."
"You must know that this is the basic type. If it is advanced, its size will increase, and the most important thing is that its attributes will continue to increase."
"By the way, I said that I am very curious about the attributes of this thunder beast."
"I don't know, but I'm thinking that this attribute must not be low. After all, as a strategic-level unit, no matter how low the basic attribute is, it won't be much different."
"I am now curious about how many resources it will consume to advance the Thunder Beast. You must know that the basic model of the Insect Hive has very poor attributes. If you want to exert its effect no matter how poor it is, you have to evolve to the first stage."
< br>
"Anyway, the investment in raising this animal will definitely not be low, and the specific advanced data of the Thunder Beast has not been officially announced. We don't know which stage of its evolution is the most cost-effective stage."
"Actually, I haven't used it after thinking about it so much. The price of this thing is definitely not cheap. I'm thankful to be able to evolve it once."
And when everyone talked about this aspect, they immediately thought of another thing.
"By the way, brothers, talking about the cost-effectiveness, what do you think of these two new units?"
After hearing this player's question, everyone started talking about it. To be honest, they had conducted in-depth research on the two new units during this period, but there were still a lot of differences.
"I feel that if we are considering strengthening our anti-air superiority, then the Corruptor must still be arranged, but if you want to advance to the hive lord, I don't recommend it."
Hearing what this player said, some players naturally have different views, "I think the Hive Lord is quite cost-effective. As an advanced unit of the Corruptor, although its anti-air capability has been weakened, his The ability to attack the ground has been greatly enhanced.”
"From a certain point of view, the hive lord is the same as the hydralisk's evolution of the sting. It has very limited limitations. In my opinion, this evolution is a typical reverse advancement."
"Understand that there are too many anti-ground units now, and the most important thing about those units is that they are cheap, and most players use these anti-ground units.
So I think that under such circumstances, your advancement to the Hive Lord will not be of much help in ground combat. ”
In fact, what this player said is also the current situation.
After all, ground troops are always much cheaper than space troops, and the holding quantity is large enough, so players have very strong ground combat capabilities. At this time, it is indeed necessary to evolve a hive lord with ground superiority. Some are not worth it.
"Of course everyone has their own way of playing, although on the surface it seems inappropriate to evolve the Hive Lord now."
"But it is undeniable that the Hive Lord also has a certain employment space, that is, if we encounter some relatively powerful civilizations in the future and they have particularly powerful ground combat units, the Hive Lord can play a role. ”
"The most important thing at the moment is that we have gone through so many versions from the opening of the server to now, and the strength of monsters is also constantly increasing, so such special monsters are bound to appear in the future. At that stage, the Hive Lord will It’s time to take off.”
"It is not cost-effective to advance a typical unit with a bright future. It is enough to use Corruptors at this stage. The Hive Lord will wait and see the game environment later before deciding whether to evolve or not."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this idea."
"Also, let me give you some popular science. The most cost-effective part of the Corruptor is after the first stage. Although the evolution attributes and skills will be improved in the future, it is just the strengthening of skills.
Compared with the improvement in the first stage of evolution, the improvement in the subsequent stages of evolution is not that obvious. ”
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard what this player said, "This is outrageous. I never expected that the official would release such a conscientious new unit this time. Graduation in the first stage is very friendly to us Chinese Kryptonians." .”
"This time I also think the official conscience has discovered it. You must know that most of the new units launched by the official before were greatly improved in the second and third stages, but this time they are already in the first stage."
. . . . .
And after everyone finished talking about the Corrupted, they immediately set their target on the Infected.
Regarding this infected person, everyone has a general understanding of its situation. In fact, it is similar to the third-level cockroach. They are both auxiliary units. The difference from the cockroach is that its main attack direction is control and interference.
However, compared to the cockroaches in the third stage, the number of infected bodies that the infected can generate is relatively small. If you want to increase this number, you can only increase the summoning limit by evolving the infected.
To put it simply, it is a low-end version of the third-level cockroach. Of course, its main function is not to constantly switch enemies like the cockroach.
First of all, its skill control can control an enemy through special neurotoxins, and the controlled enemy can help him complete some tasks that can only be done by spies.
In addition to this control skill, it also has a conversion skill, which can convert enemies swallowed by it into special combat units.
The combat effectiveness of this kind of combat unit is acceptable, but the disadvantage is that the number is small. The basic infected can only generate five at the same time. This number of combat units can only provide them with certain protection measures.
The last skill of the infected is very similar to the Stasis Coil Beam, which can slow down the enemy and make it easier for your own units to kill the target.
All in all, the role of the basic infected person on the battlefield is extremely limited. Although he has a very powerful underground invisibility ability like the ground thorn, his versatility is still not as high as other arms.
If you really want it to exert its effect, you must evolve it to the second stage.
Only after reaching this stage will its role be brought into play. At this stage, its various skills have been greatly strengthened, and many new abilities have also been added.
First of all, the parasitic skill has been changed to parasitism enhancement so that it can control multiple units at the same time. Secondly, the control skill has been changed from spraying slime to actually firing a special stasis winding beam.
In addition, even the converted mutated units have become space units with powerful self-destruction capabilities. The self-destruction power of this unit is very impressive, and it can easily destroy cruisers.
Then it also has the ability to strengthen the infection of viruses. This special virus can be difficult to detect until it spreads in the air.
When a living being is infected with this virus, it won't take long for his mind to be controlled by this special virus.
Writing it would lead to an emotional outburst that would get worse over time until he lost all sanity and became a machine that only knew how to kill.
And people scratched or bitten by him will also be infected with this special virus. Corruptors with this ability only need to lurk somewhere on the planet and continue to spread this special virus to the outside. Then the entire planet may fall before long.
Because this virus is harmful to living things, it is extremely transmissible.
And the most important thing is that even small creatures such as mosquitoes and cockroaches can be infected by this virus, and the infected ones will become the best sources of disease and spread around.
Maybe there are no mosquitoes on your planet, but there will always be this all-pervasive small creature on your planet.
So the infected only need to lurk on your planet for a period of time. If you don't discover it in time, your planet will basically be destroyed.
And even if you discover it, if you are not an advanced civilization, you are basically helpless against this virus.
Even for advanced civilizations, it will take a certain amount of time to develop an antidote to this virus. If the number of infected people is large enough, they may be infected by you before they can develop an antidote. .
When the people of Blue Star learned about the characteristics of this unit, they were also shocked into a cold sweat. They were now afraid of Jiang Yao to the core.
Because taking out any one of Jiang Yao's bugs would be devastating to the entire civilization.
At the same time, they also felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as a low-level civilization facing a high-level civilization.
Just imagine that any random weapon from one side can destroy your civilization, and the price of such weapons is so cheap that it is beyond your imagination.
Take the infected as an example. The basic unit costs 250,000 evolution points, the first stage of evolution costs 500,000, and the second stage costs 1.2 million evolution points.
All added up, there are only two million evolution points.
However, just two million evolution points can easily destroy your entire civilization.
That statement is that your civilization is only worth two million dollars in his eyes.
Is this a lot? Not to mention that as a whole, even many individuals can come up with this number.
However, your civilization is this value. This is a very sad thing. The feeling of powerlessness brought about by absolute power makes them breathless.
However, they also strongly encourage players to obtain this type of unit, because based on their understanding, they found that in this game Jiang Yao does not interfere much with the behavior of players.
That is to say, in the future, if they encounter some other civilizations near Blue Star, these civilizations are very likely to pose a threat to their safety.
Then at that time, they can take advantage of Jiang Yao's lack of care about players to induce them to attack that civilization.
In order to eliminate potential threats to Blue Star, what they didn't know at this time was that their thoughts were gradually beginning to move closer to the science of cosmic survival.
Without their knowledge, some of their ideas were quietly changing.
This is how dragon slayers eventually become evil dragons. In the past, they might have thought that cleaning up civilization was a very crazy thing.
But in just a few months, their thinking has changed, and now they will find ways to clean up surrounding threats if conditions permit.
Of course, they can have this idea mainly because of the laws of the dark forest.
Jiang Yao directly put the explanation of the dark forest on the official website in a big way.
For ordinary players, this information is nothing more than a commercial means to attract them to play games.
But for these insiders, this information is true, so they know very well that they must learn these things if they want to survive in this dark universe.
So after they learned about this unit, they began to advocate the importance of this unit.
And they also came up with various lineup combinations for this unit. When players saw these lineup combinations, many unions also chose to purchase this unit and reorganize the lineup.
The main reason why they are so concerned about this unit is because the lethality of this unit is too strong.
Maybe one day in the future, they will find a technology around them that is much higher than theirs. Although they can guide players to attack that thing, they don't know what attitude Jiang Yao will have from large-scale players in the past. .
But there is no doubt that they can be sure that the risks involved are definitely not small, but it will be different if our sect sends this unit to the past.
Even if Jiang Yao discovers this matter, he won't say anything. After all, the base of the entire insect swarm is too large for him. It doesn't matter to him if one or two die or leave to cause trouble.
But it is very important for Blue Star. After all, this unit can destroy the opposite civilization.
In this way, players purchased a lot of infected people without knowing the truth, and they all evolved to the second stage.
Of course, it is inevitable that they can evolve to this stage. During the last wave of recharge and debugging, each of them recharged a lot.
In addition to the several large-scale war activities, the entire player group now has relatively abundant funds.
The main reason why players with so much money did not buy units at the beginning was because they were waiting for the release of new units.
And now that the new arms have been released, they are starting to go shopping.
This kind of shopping is not limited to all players, and some guilds are still waiting. They are waiting for the Ultralisk to come out.
And when the Thunder Beast came out, the first thing they did was to let the Thunder God evolve.
And the people above also promised them that if they don't have enough evolution points to evolve the Thunder Beast, they can lend them money without interest.
The above move also shocked the players. This is a typical example of lending money to let you play games.
This operation is outrageous, but in the eyes of players, this is of course a good thing, because through this incident it is not difficult to see how much attention is paid to this game.
