attack city

Before the war, the total population of Iron King City was more than 850, of which nearly 80% were within the population limit.

This is one of the characteristics of the bandit city. They almost never want the old, weak, sick or disabled. A few old people are in good health and usually participate in the work.

This number of people already meets the conditions for upgrading, because the population size of the sky city is smaller than that of the land city.

Although Iron King City entered the county level not long ago, because it is a bandit city, it is relatively easy for them to replenish their population by relying on the cities they plundered.

However, more than 60 people died in this battle, including losses caused by soldiers and forced landings in the city.

The number of soldiers to be exiled reached more than a hundred.

There are still 688 people left, and more than 500 of them are within the population limit.

A list of all the resources owned by Iron King City was sent directly to these people when they were received, without Xiang Yang mentioning it.

Moreover, these people are very familiar with the inside of Iron King City, so after being accepted, the transportation of the loot was naturally left to the young adults among them.

Of course, the people responsible for the specific organization are the original people from Shenlong City.

However, the people who had just been received were not used for the energy blocks. Instead, when the core of the city was being excavated, Bai Qianxue also led a team of people to transport the energy blocks at the same time.

After such a battle, Iron King City still has more than 15,000 energy blocks. This reserve is also very rich, but it is only for county-level cities.

For county-level cities, this number is quite large, but it is not surprising.

What is really surprising is the industrial area, which is fully occupied. Even many aisles are equipped with machines and materials, and some areas have been transformed into temporary small warehouses.

Because sky cities have smaller populations than land and sea cities, they also have fewer factories and farms.

In fact, the overall size and internal space of cities in the sky are smaller than cities on land and sea, about 20% less. This difference is similar to the difference in population size.

However, because cities in the sky are basically flat and their appearance is very different from cities on land and sea, the projected area on the ground is larger, so it is not visible at ordinary times.

A conventional county-level aerial city has only six factory sites, two less than a county-level land city. The farmland is basically about 20% less, which is about the same as the population size difference.

From these aspects, Shenlong City has the characteristics of a city in the sky, but it does not have these restrictions. Whether it is factories or farms, it is the same as a land city.

Even in terms of internal space, Shenlong City is larger than conventional land and sea cities.

Just because of the need to fly, the city expanded in terms of area and became slightly shorter in height.

There are only five factories in Iron King City, occupying all six factory space slots.

There are two factories that come with the upgrade. The first is a precision parts processing factory. This is the same as the one in Shenlong City, but the equipment is slightly different.

Because of different city types, even the same gift factory will have some differences.

This is because the demand for necessary products in the city is different. The aerial city basically focuses on manufacturing parts for flying equipment, rocket launchers and other equipment or weapons, and the machines used will naturally be somewhat different.

Of course, there are few real differences, as most parts are common.

But after acquiring this factory, the factory in Shenlong City has a richer set of machines and can produce more parts.

Of course, currently, Shenlong City can only provide one space for this factory. The space is really limited, and some duplicate machines can only be temporarily sealed.

These machines and equipment are relatively precious, and Xiang Yang does not plan to sell them. Anyway, when it enters the third stage in the future, there will be enough space, and with more machines, production capacity can be increased.

The second factory given away by Iron King City is a small airship manufacturing factory, which can only be obtained after entering the county level. In addition, the engine and control system cannot be solved, so it can only be obtained by trading at the trading market, so it has not been operational.

Iron King City has this factory, but it has no ability to manufacture it.

It's actually cheaper for Xiang Yang.

Of course, it is said to be an airship just because the name of the factory has it. By Terra's standards, it is not. It should be regarded as a transport helicopter, because it uses the power provided by four propellers to fly.

However, the appearance is very strange. From the drawing, the propellers are installed on four arms extending from the four corners, and the entire airship looks square.

It is also different from any helicopter known to Xiang Yang.

The engine looks similar to that of a transport vehicle. It also uses energy blocks, but its power is different.

In addition, four engines are required, so the consumption is quite huge.

"This factory is good, and there are few cities where this kind of airship can be manufactured. In the future, we can also do the airship business. In terms of delivery vehicles, we can have a truly full series in the future."

Xiang Yang is also very interested in this factory.

There are only a few cities in the sky. In order to survive in the early stage, some cities will choose factories that can produce benefits quickly.

Therefore, even if it is a city in the sky, not many people can build airships.

After all, this is not just as simple as getting it from the factory. The core engine and control system are quite expensive, and more resources are needed to buy these accessories.

In addition, technical personnel are also needed. After all, if there is technology, people who do not use technology are useless.

These profound technologies cannot be thoroughly studied by just a few people in a few days. They require the support of the entire knowledge system.

Generally, if a new city gets this factory and trains its own talents, it will take several years to actually realize production.

This is why Tieshan chose this factory but could only leave it empty.

Although Shenlong City is a three-level city, when upgrading to the county level, this factory option did not appear. It is indeed better to get it from Iron King City.

Different from the precision parts processing factory, for this factory, Xiang Yang plans to use all core equipment and merge it with the original vehicle manufacturing factory to call it a transportation equipment manufacturing factory.

Anyway, their original vehicle manufacturing plant had two factory spaces, which were relatively spacious.

After entering the county level and upgrading the blast furnace to a smelting plant, it takes up a lot of space. Shenlong City does not rely on mining and smelting metal to exchange resources, so a lot of space is left open.

In the past, they were all used by weapons manufacturers, but now some are also used by this transportation equipment manufacturer, which is more than enough.

In itself, the smelting factory is close to the transportation equipment manufacturing factory and the weapons factory. It is easier for these three factories to share some places.

Of the five factories in Iron King City, the other three are built by themselves.

The first factory is a munitions manufacturing factory. The products are very complex, producing firearms, explosive bags, grenades, detonators, rocket launchers, mortars, military multi-purpose clothing, parachutes, flashlights, military boots, daggers, fixed-edged knives and other various products.

kind of product.

In terms of firearms, they mainly use pistols. When it comes to rifles, their technology is very poor, and they are not as good as shoulder-fired rocket launchers and mortars.

Because Tieshan can imitate pistols himself, and the failure rate was very high in Terra. In the wasteland world, because he has enough useful machine tools and other equipment, he can imitate them in a decent way.

Some of the weapons here are acceptable, such as detonators, which are much easier to use than those in Shenlong City, but most of the other weapons can only be used by Bandit City.

For example, grenades, rocket launchers, etc. Normal cities rarely attack other cities, and there is no need to have too many of these things in stock.

Because there is only so much space in the city, other materials need to be stored. When encountering ruins and the like, more places are needed to store the looted materials. There is no place to store these equipment all day long.

The second factory is very important, and it also occupies two entire factory spaces in Iron King City. It is the missile research and development factory, which also produces rocket launchers.

Xiang Yang is eyeing Iron King City, this is his biggest target.

The missiles in Iron King City are all short-range attack missiles. They are used as strategic killers at the village and town levels.

At the county level, the power of these missiles becomes weaker and they are only used as a supplement to urban rocket launchers.

On the contrary, there are many self-made rocket launchers, which are used as close-range fire coverage and are specially used to attack small targets.

Of course, Iron King City's missiles can increase their power by enlarging their warheads and increasing the amount of ammunition they can carry, but in that case, the missiles will become very large.

The Iron King City is only at the county level, and the missiles are too big to install too many launchers.

First of all, the launcher is actually a launch platform installed in a vehicle. Homemade missiles in the wasteland world usually do not need a launcher fixed on the ground.

There is usually no way to operate a fixed launcher that is too big in cities, so this is not an urban combat weapon.

One missile occupies a vehicle. It stands upright when attacking, but it still takes up a lot of space when placed flat on the vehicle.

Because the top of the city is so big, various facilities and platforms of different heights, as well as the egg-shaped defensive armor, will separate the space at the top of the city.

If the missile is too big, the vehicle will be very long and wide, and there are many gaps that cannot be arranged, so the number that can be arranged is very small.

A large number of rocket launcher positions must also be deployed, which also takes up a lot of space.

The rocket launcher positions are different. Although the launch tube takes up a large area, the rocket launcher itself is not large and can be piled on the ground.

The launch site is a one-time use, and one site can be used by countless rocket launchers.

Therefore, Iron King City has a very limited number of missiles that can be placed on top of the city. The larger the missiles, the smaller the number that can be placed.

If the number is too small, the overall strike power will not be enough.

They have large numbers, a large fire coverage area, and strong lasting attack power, but their individual power is weak and can only deal with smaller targets. It is better to use rocket launchers.

This is the core reason why they cannot increase their power, that is, they cannot form a large number of attack conditions.

However, Shenlong City is at the county level. Not only is the area on top of the city larger, the main reason is that the city platform has been unlocked, and the semi-open-air city platform is a natural launch platform.

These urban platforms are all flat, without any obstacles dividing the platform space.

Moreover, as long as it is a city platform, it will connect some large spaces within the city. It is a city facility for combat purposes, so the nearby passages are wider, large vehicles can easily pass through, and it can be used as a weapons warehouse.

They can continue to increase the warhead of the missile and increase its power. They will also use vehicles as usual and park them all on the semi-open-air urban platform and in the large internal space of the China Unicom platform.

When attacking, the top cover of the semi-open-air city platform is removed, and the missile can be erected for launch.

After the missiles on the platform were launched, the empty vehicles entered the large space used as a weapons warehouse. The missiles in the weapons warehouse continued to be fired out, continuing to form a strike force.

Like urban-level cities, the giant missiles built by themselves are launched in this way and will not be placed on top of the city.

Xiang Yang has obtained all these. As for the factory, Xiang Yang did not set up one specifically, but merged it with the weapons manufacturing factory.

The weapons manufacturing factory now occupies four factory spaces, plus a large area of ​​​​the smelting factory. It is the largest factory in Shenlong City, which is enough to arrange the production of these weapons.

It's not just because they have no more factory space, in fact, Shenlong City still has a factory space that is used as a laboratory.

So, the factory space is enough.

But Xiang Yang's goal is not these weapons, but weapon technology.

Therefore, Xiang Yang plans to separate all rocket experts from the factory and put them into laboratories to specialize in rocket and missile equipment.

They need to increase research and development efforts, increase the technology of the warhead itself, and increase the power without increasing the amount of ammunition carried.

Urban combat weapons are all limited in quantity.

When the ammunition capacity of weapons such as city cannons or rocket launchers is exhausted, ammunition needs to be remade, which takes a lot of time.

As the scale of the city increases, it has become difficult to rely on manufacturing them in advance and loading them manually.

Not all the enemies or crises a city faces are of the same size and strength as itself.

Once you run out of ammunition, you need to create time, and if a large number of weak enemies approach at this time, it will also be a disaster.

Therefore, in the later stage, it is necessary to master more weapon technology and build some weapons as inventory. It is also the core demand of most third-stage cities.

Coupled with the recognized evolution of rocket launchers and future missiles, they will all need these technologies.

The third factory built by Iron King City itself is very ordinary. It is a food factory that produces various biscuits, pastries, military rations and other materials that can be stored for more than a month.

The equipment in this factory was looted from other cities.

For Xiang Yang, this factory is the least important. They already have a comprehensive food factory. They just add more product types and merge it directly.

Anyway, it is set up on the farm and does not occupy factory space.

The production of this can be carried out on a rotating basis. The materials that Shenlong City usually sells do not mainly rely on these, so there is no need to worry about production capacity.

As long as there is a place to place the machinery and equipment, the space occupied is actually very small.

The list sent by Zheng Shigang and the others was not only about resources, but also about the facilities in Iron King City, including the facilities where the recipients were originally located, and the positions they held.

Of course Xiang Yang looked at these first, so he knew the factory situation in Iron King City at the first time.
