attack city

Xiang Yang opened the material warehouse and found that only a small pile of iron ore was left, about twenty kilograms.

Even in the iron sand mines nearby, the iron content is still low, and the efficiency of transporting sand here is very low. However, the consumption of weapons requires a lot of steel.

No matter what, there must be some reserves of steel.

The few finished iron bars from Shenlong City were used first during the upgrade.

In the second stage of the city, whether it is upgrading or repairing, or automatically generating weapons, all it needs are finished raw materials, and mineral sand is not acceptable.

Unless the required materials are raw materials, such as sand.

But materials like quartz need to be extracted by yourself, and sand alone will not work.

However, there is a blast furnace and you can smelt some on the way back to the trading site.

Xiang Yang also plans to let a few selected iron-smelting workers practice their skills. Currently, they do not have skilled workers in this area, and they all need a lot of practice time.

There is a work manual at the blast furnace, but without engineers and masters, it is difficult to determine whether it will be successful. Some experience needs to be slowly explored.

So he ordered Yu Bin and the others to continue transporting iron ore outside.

"It's really huge. It feels much taller than the village-level ones I've seen before. Such a huge monster can be built with such a small amount of mineral sand."

When Yu Bin and the others arrived outside, they were all shocked when they saw the Shenlong City standing on the gravel.

At the village level, Shenlong City is stronger than ordinary village-level land cities in both area and height. Plus, it looks even taller in this lonely desert.

"Work, work." Bai Qianxue clapped her hands and said, "Work quickly and finish the work quickly."

"Okay." Gao Hongzhan and the others began to shovel iron ore.

The next day, at noon, Xiang Yang decided to leave. It was impossible not to leave. Their water was almost gone and they would last longer than expected. But if they didn't refill the water before noon tomorrow, they would be in big trouble.

Of course, with the current village-level scale of Shenlong City, and the information Xiang Yang knows, there is no need to be like the New Human City in the previous life. Even if it reaches the village level, it often comes here to transport too much iron ore.

Just make a few meals, which will not increase the consumption of movement too much, but can also obtain basic iron resources.

Shenlong City headed towards the entrance of Iron Sand Continent. Before they reached the entrance, a light spot appeared on the radar.

The light spot didn't move.

"That location should be near the reservoir in the Iron Sand Corridor."

Bai Qianxue said: "They are probably the ones who chased us last time. If they know that we don't have enough fresh water, they can easily intercept us by waiting there."

"Probably." Xiang Yang replied.

They have not encountered other cities in the past few days. At this time, it is normal for them not to see other cities even within a month or two, or even half a year.

Because the new human cities have not yet entered the main continent in large numbers, Xiang Yang estimates that they should be the first new human city to enter the main continent.

Of course, although there are relatively few aboriginal cities here, it is normal for cities to come here and stop at the reservoir to replenish fresh water, so there is nothing to be surprised about.

However, based on previous encounters, Xiang Yang believed that the probability was low, because the two low-probability events together became even less likely.

Therefore, he agreed with Bai Qianxue's judgment.

In fact, he had expected that the city pursuing them did not give up. Of course, with the amount of fresh water they had, they could not leave by sea.

Although the offensive city has many characteristics of a maritime city, it still cannot handle sea water like a maritime city.

It's not that it can't be purified into fresh water, any city has a way to purify seawater into fresh water, but the energy consumption will be completely unacceptable.

In fact, although it is more efficient for cities on the sea to obtain fresh water from seawater, it also consumes more fresh water than cities on land.

A large part of the reason why maritime cities go ashore is to find fresh water for purification, which consumes less money.

Of course, taking into account the relatively small consumption of movement in the sailing mode, the overall consumption in Shanghai's urban cities is still smaller than that of the land-based model.

It is also because of this factor that trading venues that have existed for a longer period of time are usually located by the sea.

In this way, all three types of cities can be reached by sea, land and air. It is safer for cities on the sea to go ashore to replenish water resources. They are also more concerned about this kind of trading place.

And to be honest, Xiang Yang roughly knew the location of the bay, but when he got to the sea, he didn't know the way.

So it is destined not to go that way.

"Fuck, you are really evil-minded." Yu Bin said.

"That road seems to be relatively small. We can't go around it." Gao Hongzhan said with some worry: "I mean that for the city, the iron-sand corridor is a bit small."

"Yeah, what if the other party continues to attack us?" Qian Youliang asked.

"Is there any other way? I feel that if the other party is so confident, it must be a very strong city."

"Maybe not."

"It's moving and seems to be coming towards us."

"Damn it, they discovered us and are coming to attack us."

There were six soldiers in the control room, and the other two spoke very quickly, staring at the screen and talking very uneasily.

"If the opponent's city is larger than ours, they should have noticed our arrival very early. If the opponent wants to attack us, they should evacuate the iron sand corridor and enter the plains outside."

Bai Qianxue analyzed: "On the plains, the speed advantage will be more obvious, and it will save more energy."

When robbing others, you must also consider energy consumption.

"Judging from their current behavior, if they are from the previous city, they should have just discovered us, so they are also at the village level."

Bai Qianxue continued her analysis: "If it weren't for the previous city, it would probably just be entering the Iron Sand Continent to collect iron ore."

"But it's also possible that the previous city has discovered us a long time ago, or just discovered us, and then disguised it like this in order to get closer to us."

Bai Qianxue said: "Should we call first and confirm the other party's purpose, or should I take someone out to check the size of the other party's city first?"

"I'll call the other party and wait until we get within fifty kilometers."

The speed of the transport vehicle can exceed 200 kilometers. Because the vehicle is small, it is easier to drive in the iron-sand corridor. It can maintain a higher speed. It is estimated that it will be no problem at more than 160 kilometers under full power.

Sending people out to investigate first is usually one of the ways.

But Xiang Yang didn't think it was necessary.

Now the behavior of both sides seems to be relatively normal. Shenlong City finished its operations and left the Iron Sand Continent, while the other party just came over and entered the Iron Sand Continent.

Therefore, it is relatively normal that the other party did not call.

The reason why Xiang Yang didn't call right away was mainly because he wanted to hold back and try not to let the other party know that the current radio distance of Shenlong City was at the village level.
