My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1459
[1450. Chapter 1428: Multi-line arrangements, a lonely city where one cannot return home!]
Su Mo did not comfort her, but told her the truth: “Besides, the scene of the second gambling fight will be decided by me, so after we win the first time, the probability of our winning the second time will be very high!”
Even though the Death Tide disaster has begun, according to the stage power changes given by Adam, humans must win before the fifth stage.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not so easy for the Death Tide to enter the fifth stage.
The condition for entering the first stage is the death of five million people.
If the natural disasters were not determined before, without the help of these game functions, it might take less than three to five months to complete.
However, now all functions have been restored and all the miscellaneous disasters have disappeared.
What threat is there from just one infected body created by the zero-stage dead tide?
Ordinary survivors, if they are brave enough, can fight the infected body with cold weapons.
Under this circumstance, there will be no more obstacles to the upcoming autumn harvest, and a bumper harvest is just around the corner.
With enough supplies, the winter of next year will not be too harsh and the death toll can be controlled.
If we think optimistically, there will be at least half a year of buffer time between stage zero and stage one.
From stage one to stage two, although the infected body can absorb the power of destruction on its own, its strength will increase rapidly.
But by now, most human territories should have developed modern weapons, so it should not be difficult to block the infected bodies.
In order to enter the second stage, the death toll must reach 20%.
Based on the current 1.5 billion survivors, it would require 300 million sacrifices before the event can begin.
For this step, Su Mo gave a time limit of at least three years.
In three years, humanity would never pay such a heavy price when it has enough supplies and weapons.
Unless the alien races start a war in advance.
Once the two sides go to war, the number of casualties will probably rise rapidly to 300 million.
However, if the first gambling fight has not ended, the aliens will most likely not choose to take action to increase the risk.
When the gambling fight was over, the aliens launched an attack.
It only takes half a year to start the second gambling fight, so there is no need to worry about the death tide rushing to the later stages quickly.
Because in the third stage, the Death Tide will add regular time locks.
There will be a one-year mandatory buffer period for the third stage, and the fourth stage will not be initiated regardless of the number of deaths.
Only when the time lock is released can the infected body begin to absorb the scattered destructive force.
When the absorption reaches a certain value, it will enter the difficult fourth stage.
At this time, the strength of the infected body will increase significantly, and it will be almost impossible for small and medium-sized territories to survive the impact of the infected body.
It was hard for Suma to judge how long he could last in the fourth stage, and Adam could only make a vague guess based on past experience.
One year.
Dead humans will be resurrected immediately, becoming infected and joining the death tide, thus entering an irreversible vicious cycle.
If Su Mo didn’t want to see the wasteland left with only the Tianyuan territory and only a few survivors.
Then we must win two gambling battles within six years at the latest and four years at the earliest!
“If we have four years, that’s more than enough. I will bring out at least five armies of 100,000 elite soldiers!”
Su Deben said with absolute certainty.
The territory is currently suffering from a shortage of food and fodder in its supply warehouses, and is simply unable to support large-scale off-the-job training for its personnel.
But after the autumn harvest, everything will be different.
With the current scale of Tianyuan’s farming, it can produce at least enough supplies to feed two million people for a year.
With such a huge supply of resources, it is enough to provide full-time training for at least 20,000 people.
After that, they would sow in the east again and harvest in the spring!
After the dead tide came, there were no severe natural disasters that affected the harvest, and the cycle would continue again and again.
This is the foundation on which human civilization can take root in the wasteland.
Otherwise, with inexplicable natural disasters continuing, how can we develop and how can we fight the final decisive battle with alien races?
Even if the scale of cultivation in Tianyuan Territory is no longer expanded, we can take advantage of the upcoming trading secret realm and water trade to exchange materials between industrial products and agricultural territories.
Su Deben was not just talking about supplying a total of 500,000 troops to the three divisions, he had already made a plan!
“Five hundred thousand elite soldiers, that’s definitely enough for us to protect ourselves!”
Su Mo nodded and said that this number was already twice as much as the standing combat power of the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins.
If the number of people continues to expand endlessly, there won’t be much meaning.
When the final battle really comes, there will no longer be any distinction between human territories, and all the troops will be united.
Each of the three royal families can provide at least two million soldiers, which adds up to six million people.
When the forces from the medium, large and small territories are mixed together, the total force easily exceeds 10 million.
At this scale, even if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of more people, it will not change the situation of the war.
On the contrary, investing the resources used to supply excess personnel in scientific research, logistics, intelligence, etc. can bring far more important help than the number of people.
“I will lead the institute to shift the focus of research to weapons and defense equipment.”
Lu Kuan thought about it and sighed with some displeasure.
Since we have established a solid research foundation in Energy Stone Technology, other aspects seem to have been opened up, and good news has been coming in frequently.
At the weekly technical meetings, each department in the institute seemed to be competing for credit, and breakthroughs came one after another.
Now they suddenly turned their guns around, stopped other research, and started researching weapons that can be used on both the offensive and defensive ends.
It’s not that it’s impossible, but I don’t know if I can maintain the current research speed.
However.
“No need to change research direction, just continue with our existing research!”
Since the danger in the special space has been successfully overcome, there is no need for Su Mo to hide it anymore.
Hearing that he had actually spent more than 20 years in the ruins, the conference room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Lu Kuan and his group, who had been locked in the brain box for hundreds of years, could only feel endless despair when they put themselves in the scene described by Soma.
“For more than 20 years, you couldn’t move and you were doing research?”
Lu Kuan swallowed and spoke with some difficulty.
Even if he is someone who loves scientific research, if he becomes a vegetable who can only think, I’m afraid…
There’s no fear at all. If this is the case, he might as well die.
After all, even though he was locked in a brain box, his consciousness could still connect to the virtual reality. Except that many of his senses of touch and sensations were electronically simulated, the experience was almost the same as that of ordinary people.
“I’m not always researching. I still take a break from time to time.”
Su Mo said in a relaxed tone: “And it’s not just me doing research. In that special space, there is also the entire Earth’s scientific research force working with me. Although this part of time is not long, it has also produced a lot of good things.”
There are definitely no lethal weapons, and national platforms do not allow private research institutes to engage in this.
But there is no limit to defensive equipment.
“In the next period of time, I will gradually sort out these technologies. As long as they can be put into production, there should be no worries on the defense side.”
“As for weapons, it is best to use cold weapons in small-scale battles. If you can’t use them, try not to use high-powered bombs. Try to ensure that there is no large-scale environmental damage.”
“Why is that?”
Feng Tianmin was puzzled.
“If we use cold weapons, we won’t have much advantage against the aliens.”
“Because of the disaster.”
Su Mo tested it and found that this part of the game still did not set up cognitive barriers, and immediately said:
“You can understand it this way. When you use weapons to cause destruction, the threat level of the disaster added after the version update will increase. The more powerful the weapon you use and the wider the range of destruction, the faster the threat level will increase.”
“Is there such a saying?”
A group of people immediately realized the trouble.
It was indeed described during the version update that after the death tide comes, there will be no large-scale disasters. Instead, it will randomly descend on each territory and must accumulate to a sufficient level of threat.
I didn’t expect that using firepower weapons would actually accumulate threat levels?
“Soon, there should be a territory that will test this out. I just knew this in advance.”
Su Mo didn’t say much.
Sometimes, knowing too much will increase the psychological burden.
He didn’t intend to tell anyone present about the changes in the several stages after the death tide.
What is coming will eventually come. Worrying about these things in advance will only make people live in fear all day long.
After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Su Mo took a sip of water and said solemnly,
“I have other things to do for a while, so I may not be back until the gambling fight begins. I don’t know if the aliens have any means to detect that I’m still alive, but we have to do our best and leave the rest to fate. We still have to make the necessary preparations, and we have to do them as beautifully as possible. As long as we can trick them, the chances of winning the first gambling fight will increase by 30%.”
“Secondly, with the opening of the trading secret realm, Tianyuan’s trade will be completely connected to other parts of the wasteland. I hope everyone will take this opportunity seriously and not look down on other territories. In any case, everyone should always remember that no matter what the lords of other human territories do, there will always be innocent survivors under their command. As long as we can save these people, our goal will be achieved.”
“Again”
One after another, the illusory cards seemed to contain endless mysteries and power. As Su Mo’s mind moved subtly, they appeared out of thin air on the conference table one after another, as if pulled by invisible threads.
There were so many of them that in the blink of an eye they quickly filled up the conference table, which was about twelve meters long and three meters wide.
in.
The first-level resource cards that sparkle with a bright white light are the most numerous, numbering over a hundred.
The cards are neatly arranged together, and their pure and flawless light interweaves with each other, reflecting a sense of peace and hope, which is so beautiful that it makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Next came the secondary resource cards emitting blue light, and the number was also quite considerable, a total of sixty.
Each one seems to be soaked in the color of the deep ocean. The rich blue seems to drip, revealing a freshness and depth that makes people involuntarily intoxicated.
What’s even more amazing is that more advanced resource cards keep appearing on the table.
Cyan level 3 resource card, purple level 4 resource card, red level 5 resource card!
And the more advanced ones are cyan level 3 resources, purple level 4 resource cards, and red level 5 resource cards.
And the colorful level 6 resource cards!
Once these resource cards, which had never been seen before and existed only in legends, appeared, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room like a magnet.
“How to use it, in the territory or elsewhere, to trade or as a gift.”
“It’s all up to you to decide.”
Wei said something very right.
Using external things to strengthen oneself is what humans are best at.
Sometimes, if he is asked to decide whether to keep or remove resource cards, he may fail to realize their true value because his vision is too high.
Since he had already made up his mind to be a hands-off boss, Su Mo simply stopped participating in the use of resource cards.
But in the final analysis, even today, even a level 6 resource card would hardly cause him to have too many psychological fluctuations.
When he achieves the status of the Lord of the Giant Mountain Star Domain, he will be able to make hundreds or thousands of these things with ease.
Including never-before-seen level 7, 8, and 9 resource cards, and the ability to trade with extraterritorial gods.
“So.”
Su Mo paused, stood up, and an unprecedented complex look flashed in his eyes.
“After I leave, I’ll leave everything to you!”
He hurried back to the territory and left in a hurry.
The total time was no more than an hour, and I rushed to Soma and only drank a few sips of hot water the whole time.
In fact, he could have spent the night in the territory tonight, but when he thought about the possibility that the aliens had already begun to infiltrate, he might be exposed at any time if he stayed in the territory.
Su Mo left decisively.
However, this time when he left, he did not return to the Stone Territory through the two teleportations included in the game.
Boom.
A bolt of thunder flashed in the air, and the force of the B6 layer swept Su Mo and caused him to fall rapidly to the south.
The destination is none other than the location of Hu Lai City, an enterprise that has obtained the qualifications for investment.
The speed of delivery is not as fast as game delivery.
More than ten minutes later.
The city of Hulai, hidden among the canyons, finally appeared before Su Mo’s eyes.
As the sight gets closer, the outline of the city gradually becomes clear in the night, revealing an extraordinary momentum.
With the light, one can vaguely see large tracts of highly developed industrial areas in the city. Even in the middle of the night, these areas are still brightly lit and machines are roaring, presenting a prosperous scene of unmanned and efficient operation.
Densely packed transport vehicles shuttle back and forth, like blood flowing in a huge body, tirelessly delivering supplies and supporting the operation of the city, making people curious about what exactly they are producing.
Surrounding this huge industrial city is a solid wall ten meters high, which is like an insurmountable natural barrier that separates the city from the outside world.
The wall winds along the edge of the city, forming a spectacular circular barrier.
Outside the wall is the area where the survivors live.
According to the level division, every five kilometers is a level. Now such dividing lines have extended outward for nearly 100 kilometers, forming circles of residential areas.
“It’s really spectacular. If all human territories were like Hulai City, I wouldn’t have anything to worry about.”
“It’s a pity that it’s just an isolated city where I can’t go back home.”
Su Mo couldn’t help but sigh.
Although it is extremely difficult, if we can capture Hu Lai City before the gambling fight, we can empty out all the corporate technologies stored in it.
For the impoverished human beings on Earth, this is undoubtedly a huge epoch-making help!
