Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters: why worry

In the Tower of Tongtian, there is a screen that keeps on the illuminating screen. The data on it is all the battle data of all the Dukes in the conflict.

Weapon consumption, personnel losses, judgment of the advantages and disadvantages of situations, etc.

Jack cotton is busy with his affairs and will occasionally pay attention to these data. Since the emergence of the Wanjie Channel, Xia He's main legion has not yet been reduced, but the noble legion has lost more than a thousand people.

This time, I lost two squadrons, which was the biggest failure.

The other casualties were not as serious as this time. The injured people were rescued before, but the people killed by the dragon could not even restrain their corpses.

Legends are very busy and often have to go out urgently to face legends from other worlds.

In many encounters, the noble legion also defeated some powerful people from other worlds with their equipment and number advantages, including the Legend Asla Academy's various test equipment, and now they are given to the noble legion to let them test it in practice to see if it is appropriate.

Xia He's main legion finally stopped doing such a job now.

Such tests themselves have certain risks, such as the things your equipment and what you bring to you are not consistent with what you expect, and may even have the opposite effect.

Such a result will be life-threatening.

However, for the noble legion, these test weapons are cheaper than they use themselves and often have miraculous effects, so the nobles are not opposed to helping the academy to test equipment in actual combat.

At least twenty legends from another world died under various strange weapons.

Even if there are factors that suppress the laws of the world, it is enough to show that these equipment is quite useful.

The old-fashioned robots are indeed not cost-effective and have suffered a lot of losses. However, the new scorpion robot warriors have already bought some of the noble legions, even if they are expensive, their level is not high.

Actual combat has proved that this scorpion robot warrior has really strong attack power and good survivability.

Because it is a very low shape, it can avoid many attacks.

The best thing about scorpion robots is that they have good magic resistance. No matter how thick your metal armor is, if you don’t have magic resistance, you may be penetrated and hit the core.

The robots created by Xia He usually have similar magic resistance only after level 20 or above.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Cotton Jack withdrew his gaze from the screen.

Xia He appeared in his room, found a chair and sat down, and said, "In April, we must launch a general attack on Duke Zhesu's territory."

"Isn't there a army of princes?"

"The Merryfin family has prepared a new fleet, which is provided by a second-level academy."

"Academy, is it going to join the war?"

"It's an existence in the nine colleges who are testing my reactions to see if I will spread the war to all classes."

"Sir, what are you going to do?"

"It's just a warship, just blow it up. I see how many people in the nine colleges can provide."

"It's another production task, right?" Jack Cotton smiled. Such tasks have been so many and heavy recently. If everyone hadn't thought about making more money and paying back the money, he wouldn't have known whether it would be completed.

"Yes, this time I need a kind of air gunboat. I don't consider my own survivability, but I can release powerful attacks. I don't need to drive, and I will be fully automatic. The drawings give you more extreme things, but they are not expensive."

Jack cotton nodded and opened the fantasy array in the room. A long-shaped gunboat showed an anatomical picture.

"This...isn't it cheap?"

"The cost is about the same as that of floating fish, it's just not armored."

"That's fine, anyway, it's flying high, and other professionals can't deal with it except legends." Cotton Jack saw the key to the problem.

This thing costs 20,000 gold coins, but it has a huge lethality and is made for sea-surface warships.

Because there is no driver, you don’t have to consider the feeling of riding. For example, in a flying warship, all the structures that protect the crew can be cancelled, leaving only power and weapons.

In interstellar wars, similar things are often arranged in a galaxy in millions. The enemy can only remove them like minesweeping, otherwise, passing through such a gunboat, large warships may be injured. Medium warships are severely damaged and small warships are destroyed.

Jack cotton calculated that it was not difficult to build such a flying gunboat, and the Duke didn't want many, just less than two hundred.

Although it is about four million gold coins, if the enemy's fleet can be sunk, it will save more gold coins.

This gunboat has only one main gun and does not have any other weapons. The internal structure is designed around this main gun. It can fire large magic projectiles, which can fire downwards from a high altitude and penetrate magic armor. There is a calculation structure inside the projectile, and it must penetrate deep into the large equipment and then explode.

After the explosion, in addition to shock waves and fragments, there is also magic fire damage, which is equivalent to breaking the fire hell. This thing cannot be extinguished before the energy is exhausted.

Xia Hexin said that the war mode of this universe is too backward. If it were the Shenzhou Empire, it would send powerful warships to transport all the troops to the preset location at one time. No matter how the enemy intercepted, it had countermeasures. The small warships escorted were the same as their own Fire Crow series.

If the enemy wants to win, he has to invest more money and technology. In the end, the war is about who can afford it.

The Shenzhou Empire is rich, and there are people. In the universe where he lives, if he wants to fight for his family property, no one can compete with Shenzhou. Behind Shenzhou, there is still the Nine Dao Palace, and there is no lack of high-level power.

Wars are about crushing with dignity. I have the skills, so why should I play naval battles with you?

Xia He himself no longer builds sea ships. He either relies on chariots to travel or uses large airships to transport large troops. In the future, he may use starry sky warships to transport large troops.

If you want to stop me, you have to build more and stronger fleets.

The question is, can you make it?

Xia He is now selling flying warships because they are definitely not a match for the Fire Crow series. Although he has a lot of equipment, there is no need to worry that someone will take over in the future.

As long as this technology is more advanced than others, someone will buy it.

Xia He said to Cotton Jack: "I know you are a little worried recently, afraid that we can't defeat so many enemies."

“Where is it.”

Xia He pointed to the screen on the table, and Jack Jack did not refute it. He was worried that although the Duke leader had a strong army and excellent weapons, he had too many enemies. There were so many nobles, each of them, behind him were several or even dozens of worlds to support him.

There may not be many troops in this world, because their elite troops are all placed in another world.

Now that the empire is in chaos, no one can listen to the royal family's rules, it will be natural for these elite troops to be transferred back.

No matter how elite troops are, they will be tired and dragged down when facing too many enemies.

Xia Hedao: "They have more people than us and more money than us, but they don't have more skills. You see, I sell technology, open a magic academy, train soldiers to become professionals, and make them owe huge debts. Now, as long as I manage food, I don't worry about no soldiers available."

Cotton Jack smiled again. This method is really good.

The Duke leader needs professional soldiers, so he trains professionals, and then these professionals owe the Duke a lot of money. What kind of cycle is this?

This is equivalent to when I want to eat meat, so I ask someone to raise pigs. But there is no piglets or feed, so I can only take care of me borrowing money. After I borrowed the money, I opened a pig farm. In order to repay the money, I had to give me the pigs.

Moreover, the Duke's rank trains professionals, which is something that is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, and there is no coercion.

But everyone thought the Duke was so generous that he actually allowed money owed so long for so long.

Since the Duke's leader began to train professionals, the loyalty of the Duke's people has soared. Many people, even when they reach the age of retirement, will be willing to work hard for the Duke's leader.

"Look, I need gold coins, so I borrowed from the princess. Then I left the money for myself to circulate internally, and we went to build the Tenth Magic Academy. What did you find?"

"Gold is useless, and those minerals and factories are the most important."

"No, gold is useful. It is an equivalent exchange that can make your people trust you. Do you know why the empire controls prices?"

Cotton Jack said: "Make gold worth it?"

"Yes, it makes gold appear worthwhile and the people's hearts stable. The nobles have a lot of money and the royal family has a lot of gold, which makes people feel at ease. But what really determines the power of the empire is the hidden alchemy factories, the huge legions hidden in other worlds."

"But, everyone else has these."

"It's not as good as mine. Look at my gunboat, I can build one with 20,000 gold coins. This is because the existing technology is not good. If I find good materials, it will be cheaper. Besides, the so-called price, such as the small furnace inside, will be converted into several thousand gold coins. The main gun material is even more expensive, but if I build these, the real cost is the consumption of personnel in the alchemy factory, salary and so on."

"We have people, we have technology, we have mines, we don't need to buy anything outside, so our gold, for war, isn't that valuable, right?"

"Not only gold, our weapons are cheaper than others, and they can also control the enemy. This is the key. So Jack, don't think so much, just concentrate on commanding the war."

“I have a problem.”

"Tell me."

"I can understand that you want to fight. You want to unify the world. But many nobles do not have this desire, so why do they also start wars?"

Xia He smiled and said, "Anyway, there are always wars, who would think so much? You said that the demons are coming and we don't want to fight. Is it possible? If there are so many worlds, if we don't conquer, others will conquer you. How did we humans develop? We have killed the elves."

Jack was speechless, Xia Hedao: "You can't say, why did the elves enslave humans in the first place?"
