Chapter 585 (1/2)
Rose said: ”anyway, since this device can generate energy similar to magic crystal, it's very good. The nature of magic crystal is like battery, and the cost is too high. If it can be replaced by more long-term energy.”
I nodded, ”well, I'm in favor of this plan. I don't consider the role of this spherical capsule. This energy center alone is worth a try. The energy consumption of large cities is very high. In cities like ours, which are equipped with a lot of magic machines, we need to use them sparingly. This plan can be started when the funds for the dark temple arrive. However, we suggest that you use your own team to repair the dark temple. The labor of the dark temple can only be used to build the above ground part of the city, and we can repair other things ourselves. ”
Su Mei said, ”if you don't tell me, I can't let them repair it! Don't treat me as a layman as the guild engineering director? ”
Rose playfully rubbed Su Mei's head: ”how big are you! Don't talk like an old man. ”
The eagle said: ”urban construction is not just a design plan. What about the specific project? Are we still building some special buildings? ”
I thought for a while and said, ”the ground Eisinger needs to build a new transnational transmission array. The sky's Eisinger may need to leave China in the future, so it's better to use the transmission array separately. In the future, the Research Institute will move to the underground area designed by Sumei. It is almost enough to leave a large building on the ground with a sign. The internal equipment should not be installed. The magic experiment equipment is also very expensive. If you can save it, you can save it. This part of the dark temple will not help us pay for it, so it can't be wasted. ”
Rose said: ”I think the advanced technology dock should be built at the Eisinger ground station. I think it is more appropriate to change it into a battlefield support base. In addition, I think it is better to replace the high-rise dock with something else. It's not really necessary to release warships in such a large space. It's a waste. ”
When Rose said that, I suddenly remembered. ”Volma, didn't you say you could design mobile fighters last time? How did it turn out? ”
”The result is a little bit, but it's a little different from the expectation. I think it's better for us to go to the scene after the meeting.”
”OK, now we will decide how to arrange the defense facilities of Eisinger ground station and so on.”
We held this meeting for more than two hours. Eisinger's design drawing was too complicated. So many of us were talking about it. Sumei simply stood on the table and took a pen to talk about where to change. When we discussed the final plan, we all felt a little dizzy. The plan was too complicated.
I leaned back to my seat and kneaded my temple and said, ”OK, the plan has come out. Let's go to work according to the plan.”
”Let's go first.” Hawk and red moon all left the conference hall to assign work. Woma, Sumei and rose stayed and decided to take me to see the pilot model of the flying regiment, which had been planned for a long time.
Along the way, I kept asking woma, but she said that I couldn't understand if she didn't see things, so she didn't tell me that she had to take me to see it.
The research base of aircraft model is not in steel city, but in new Eisinger. The new eisenegger is divided into three parts. The command area at the top is much smaller than the middle area on the second floor. Therefore, there is a circle of platform empty at the top of the second floor. This area was later changed into a runway, which is reserved for aviation. Now, this is where voma brings us.
We were still on our way, and woma had already informed the people here to pull the samples out, so by the time we arrived, the samples were already on the platform. Even I was dumbfounded to see this row of large and small experimental objects. ”This Isn't this a piston plane? ”
There are so many kinds of aircrafts on the platform, and the one closest to us is familiar to me, because you can see similar things in almost any Aviation Museum. We are clearly in front of us is an old aircraft, and is not the general old, this guy is actually three wing.
”Did you come up with such a thing in a long time?” To tell you the truth, I'm very disappointed. This thing is really advanced in ancient times, but this game has flying Warcraft and magic technology, which is too backward.
”No, this is actually a trainer,” voma explained
”Ah? Trainer? ”
”Everyone in our guild has long guns. Airplanes don't mean much to us. What we need is flying warships, but warships can't be without aircraft protection. But our players are limited, and we can't have a large number of players on each ship. So I went to ask for help. Finally, Sumei thought of a way.”
I looked at Su Mei and asked in surprise, ”did you think of it?”
Sumei nodded and said, ”before I say this idea, I want you to know two things first.”
”What's the matter?”
Su Mei said: ”brother ziri and sister rose have been busy outside, so I don't know. Recently, notices have been posted in all system cities saying that the game needs to adjust some strategic settings. Because it is still in the adjustment period, there is no direct opening notice. Instead, it should be reminded in the form of a notice, and then the whole game will be announced when it is officially upgraded. ””What is the change?”
”It's about the adjustment of urban defense NPC. In the future, there will be no restrictions on the actions of city guards. The guild of a city can direct the city guards to attack other cities, and will no longer be restricted by the scope of the city. ”
”What? Can our guild attack other guilds wantonly? How wonderful I'm so excited. The biggest strength of this guild is that NPCs have many guards, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. In the past, they were not allowed to go out of the city to attack the enemy actively. They can only be used as guards. Now they can be sent to participate in the war.
Su Mei said, ”don't get excited. The main system won't be so stupid to give you such a big vacancy
”Is there a limit?”
Su Mei nodded: ”there are not only restrictions, but also several restrictions. On the one hand, it is restricted economically, on the other hand, it is restricted by social relations. ”
”What kind of restriction is this? The more you say it, the more confused I am! ”
”It's easy to understand,” Sumei explained. The first is economic constraints. In the future, the NPC guard will no longer be a lossless army. Each NPC will consume some special resources according to its own situation. That is to say, if you want to maintain a large standing army, you must spend a lot of money, not one-time expenditure, but all the time. ”
”Dizzy! What about so many people in our guild? ” I asked anxiously, ”what kind of money should I spend?”
”The reasons for spending money are not necessarily the same. They are differentiated according to the arms. The most important one is the consumption of food and rates. Each NPC has to pay a monthly salary, and they have to eat. ”
”Isn't it?”
Su Mei said: ”you can rest assured. I have consulted with the paid question and answer system. Our guild has taken a big advantage.”
”What do you say?”
”First of all, our troops are totally dependent on our isolated legions. They don't have families and things like that, so they don't have to pay. It's said that the most troublesome army is the paladin Legion. The sick soldiers are very expensive and frightening to death. The second cheapest is food. Most of the guards on our side are undead, and there are not many branches that need to eat, which saves a lot of expenses. It is said that several guilds have begun to plan major disarmament. ”
”Disarmament?”
”What can I do if I can't afford it?”
I heard a glance at the rose and she laughed at me. It seems that I guess it's right. This modification probably comes from Rose's economic bomb plan. If it goes on like this, players will spend more and more money on the game. It's really dark enough! But anyway, the money is black to our Longyuan, which I am still happy to see.
I went on to ask, ”what does that social relationship limit mean except for economic constraints?”
Su Mei said, ”if you want to send troops, you have to go there? If there are other player forces or NPC forces between the other side and your city, will you drive through like this? In reality, is it not necessary to borrow from the surrounding countries in order to fight a war? This is going to test your social skills. Running all the way, it is estimated that many guilds along the way will have to find a way to get through the joints. ”
I asked in doubt: ”find a nearby city to borrow the transmission array and use it.”
Before answering rose, Sumei said, ”you really want to come out. Don't you think, such a large army into other people's cities, people don't worry about you taking the opportunity to attack them? It's so troublesome to pass by the way from outside the city, let alone the transmission array in the city. What's more, you don't want to think about it. It's nothing if you go alone. How much does it cost to transmit millions of troops? In addition, the transmission array still has the problem of error probability. If you pass an army, some of it will be lost. ”
In this way, the actual attack is much more difficult than imagined!
Su Mei said: ”in fact, the economic limit just now does not include the cost of military support.”
”What? That's not enough? ”
”Military training is only an important part of it. In addition, there are many settings that need to be paid attention to.” Su Mei pulled her fingers and said, ”soldiers can't go to battle naked! You have to have armor. After upgrading, the combat effectiveness of NPC will be divided into three parts, one is self attack defense, another is weapon attack and the other is armor defense. All of these should be calculated separately. If your guild can produce armor, you can save a little. If you don't have production capacity, you have to buy it. You can buy it from the system store or other players. It seems that NPC can use armor with players. ”
”Don't our guild soldiers already have armor?”
”But they will die!” Sumei said: ”after upgrading, the NPC of the guild's Legion will not be automatically revived. After death, they must spend money to summon souls and then revive. After resurrection, only coarse cloth clothes are left, and armor and weapons have to be bought again. But our guild will take advantage of it. ”
”What do you say?”
”After the death of a NPC on the battlefield, just like players, their bodies will not disappear. We can clean the battlefield, remove all the armor from the dead, and then equip our own troops. However, the damaged armor needs to be repaired, which also costs money, but it is much cheaper than buying it again.”
”We can pick on others! Why do we take advantage of it? ””But they don't like other people's armor. The morale of human soldiers wearing body armor will decrease, and paladins will not accept it at all. ”
”That's a big advantage.”
Su Mei said: ”in fact, the cheapest thing is the beast army. They even wear clothes and don't need armor at all. By the way, it seems that when the troops are resurrected, our ghost arms can be sold at half price. Are they very profitable? ”
Rose said: ”after this change, it is said that the control of NPC Corps has been released, but the actual result is that everyone has invested a lot of money, and finally offset each other. It is tantamount to not letting go, but the battlefield makes the scene bigger and consumes faster.”
This is called invisible consumption. In order to keep what they have, players have to constantly invest in new ones. When they find out that they have invested more than they have received, they will not give up the part they have. In this way, they will continue to invest money into it, which is the recycling of money.
I asked again, ”although it is very expensive, most guilds should be able to maintain a medium-sized NPC army. But what about those guilds without quotas?”
Sumei said, ”this system is also arranged. In the future, there will be a large number of scattered battle NPCs wandering between cities. Players' guild can recruit these NPCs to become their own guards. When recruiting, they should negotiate with NPC and give one-time money to let the NPC join the guild force. If you feel trouble, you can go to the army task and take the completed Legion directly. Of course, the scroll of military mission should be purchased and completed The process costs a lot of money. What's more, the future NPC troops will not completely follow their lords' Guild. NPC will have a sense of autonomy. They will have high morale, low morale and even escape and mutiny according to their treatment. ”
”Will NPC rebel?”
”Of course, Vader and his men have defected, and the dark temple has followed us?”
”That's right
Su Mei said: ”in a word, as long as you can afford it, you can recruit more troops.”
”It's estimated that all guilds will lose money now!”
Sumei said: ”one of the reasons why I asked voma to design the trainer is because of this change. In the future, NPC operations will certainly not be able to take the transport station, and they will have to travel a long distance. However, since our guild has the technology, we can transport the troops to fight by air. Moreover, high NPC level means high maintenance cost. In order to find the best combination between military expenditure and combat effectiveness, I plan to cultivate these low-level NPCs to use high-level magic machines. Everyone knows that a pilot is more important than an infantry soldier, and they are the same person, so I plan to train low-level soldiers into pilots. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of air length is calculated according to weapons, but not the attack power of pilots. In this way, we can develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and bring maximum combat effectiveness with the least money. ”
”But aircraft also need money
”Flying machines do cost money, but it's a game.” Sumei explained: ”the cost of producing an aircraft in our guild is almost the same as that of arming five soldiers. However, one aircraft is definitely more powerful than five soldiers, so it is better to build an aircraft to save money.”
”Can NPC fly a plane?”
Su Mei said seriously: ”this is about to talk about my second discovery. According to my survey, since the last upgrade of NPC intelligence, many NPCs have the ability to learn. As long as they are not beyond their physical limits, they can learn. When sister wolma asked me to help, I did the experiment specially. First of all, we asked a skeleton soldier with a long knife to learn how to operate bows and arrows. As a result, we only taught him how to shoot bows and arrows in one hour, but the basic operation of archery was almost the same. This proves that NPC can actually learn. ”
”But archery is so simple, flying a plane is quite another matter.”
”It was an early attempt. After that, we tried to train all kinds of NPC soldiers to use gunpowder guns, and they all learned it.”
Rose was surprised and asked, ”last time woma asked me for funding to manufacture 100000 gunpowder guns. Isn't it for the purpose of setting up NPC firearm team?”
”Yes,” she said with a smile. After the experiment, Sumei and I want to equip the NPC with muskets, so that all arms can shoot the enemy from a long distance. When they get close, they can put on big knives and spears. Isn't this to improve the combat effectiveness? ”
