Global Plunder: Start with Heart of Darkness

It is worth mentioning that after the integration, there will be not four mines, but six.

Among them, seven first-level timber mines are integrated into a large mountain forest, which can be regarded as one timber mine.

Six first-level stone mines merged into one giant stone mine.

These two first-level mines are not integrated with the second-level wood mines and stone mines.

At this time, Ajit also used the sound transmission stone to send him a message.

They have already attacked two energy mines and a mercury mine, and captured many prisoners.

Now they are marching slower and are heading towards the obsidian mine.

Gu Yu didn't take any rest and kept running fast.

He also brought the two newly captured energy mines and a mercury mine into his territory.

Until near dusk, he finally caught up with the large army and camped near the obsidian mine.

Gu Yu saw Ajit and Kabukilo, but did not see Garona.

After asking, I found out that Garona had gone to investigate the enemy's situation.

With Garona taking action along the way, the information on several mines was easily grasped.

No soldier died during the attack, only a few unlucky ones were slightly injured.

This is also related to their opponents. Several mines are garrisoned by dozens or hundreds of orcs.

Yes, since the orcs invaded, all valuable mines have been occupied by them.

There are even a hundred silver-level axe-throwers stationed at the mercury mine.

However, in the face of Orgrim Doomhammer, the orcs lost the courage to fight.

Coupled with the fear halo of the two Dark Demon Guards, every battle is easily won.

Fortunately, Cabukiro was there to deter them, otherwise the two or three hundred prisoners would have been really difficult to manage.

While they were talking, Garona came back.

"Nana, how many orcs were discovered this time?"

When Cabukiro saw it, he immediately straightened his body with a smile.

"I found no orcs or other creatures there."

Garona glanced at Cabukiro, very dissatisfied with him calling her that on such a serious occasion.

"Didn't you find anything?"

Ajit asked, he frowned, could it be that the orc garrison here has withdrawn?

"Maybe, maybe not. But, I found this."

As Garona spoke, she carefully took out a dark green sticky substance.

"Is this spider silk?"

Gu Yu recognized it at a glance. He had seen a lot of spider silk in his home.

"Yes, but it's highly poisonous."

Garona wrapped the spider silk with animal skin. Although the poison on it was not fatal to her, it had some effect.

Gu Yu tried to pull twice with his fingers and found that the spider silk was quite strong. It took him five minutes of effort to break it.

A little green mucus stained my fingers, and I immediately felt numb and stiff.

He sensed it for a moment, and then used the power of the dark sky to instantly remove the mucus from his fingers.

"The power of this spider silk is comparable to that of black pineapple. I'm afraid it's silver level."

Gu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up and he concluded.

Black Pineapple is currently at the ninth level of silver level, and is currently stuck at the bottleneck of gold level.

Compared with her spider silk, it was at least an intermediate silver spider.

"Let's go, I'll go and see with you."

Gu Yu became interested and took Garona away directly.

Cabukilo and Ajit were left staring at each other in the tent.

By the time they followed them out, the two agility players had already disappeared.

Under the dark mountain wall, two masses of mist shook slightly.

"Garona, is this where you found the spider silk?"

"Yes, Patriarch, look there is still a little bit over there, and then it disappears."

"Well, you're right, there is indeed one here."

"Clan leader, do you want to send a group of blade spiders to sneak into the underground to investigate?"

"No need, look at my perspective...the earth."

An undetectable wave of magic extended to the earth and quickly spread to the very deep and far underground.

Suddenly, a three-dimensional underground image gradually took shape in Gu Yu's sight.

From the perspective of the earth, all underground energy bodies show different colors.

Obsidian is black and shimmers, and sandstone is purple light, hidden underneath the black.

And close to the purple light, there is a large group of creatures with a dark green luster.

"found it!"

Gu Yu made a rough count and found that there were at least four to five hundred spiders below.

Although he is sure to defeat the spider swarm with his current strength, the loss will not be small.

Currently, the total number of blade spiders in the tribe is only over a hundred.

If all of the hundred he brought here died, he would be embarrassed to see Black Pineapple.

So, Gu Yu and Garona said hello and returned to the camp again.

Ajit and Kabukilo were still waiting in the camp. When they saw Gu Yu coming back, they both came to greet him.

"There is indeed a spider nest underground here. There are a lot of them. We need to mobilize troops from the territory."

Gu Yu smiled and displayed the Starry Sky Gate on an empty ground.

After a while, a light door big enough for two people to walk side by side opened in front of him.

Gu Yu asked Garona to stay at the camp.

Ajit and Cabukilo led the team to escort the prisoners and return to the territory first.

On the other side of the light gate, Brooks was already leading people to receive the prisoners.

The starry sky gate is different from the town portal. You can open the location you have marked within a certain range.

Gu Yu can only keep three marks. If he wants to set marks elsewhere, he must erase one.

He had set a marker in a clearing within the territory.

Now he has another one set up here so he can come back anytime.

"Lao Ai, go and get 30 Dark Eyes."

"Brocks, you go get 200 axe-throwers."

"Black Pineapple, go and call your wife, uh... the queen."

Gu Yu returned to the territory this time and sent back the prisoners just by the way, mainly to pull people.

Although the Beast Soul Knight is strong, it is not a good choice to deal with poisonous spiders.

To deal with this kind of spiders that can penetrate the ground and are highly poisonous, it is best to lure them out and destroy them remotely.

While waiting, Gu Yu saw a fleet of agile steel machines shuttling back and forth not far away.

In just a short while, at least a dozen vehicles passed by.

He recognized that these were the construction machinery produced by Star City, SCV T-280.

Swann's engineering force has been formed?

Gu Yu walked over with interest and found that these SCVs were heading to several mines for mining.

The people driving the SCV include Dark Sky Humans and Dark Goblins, and they are actually quite skilled.

The SCV is specially designed for mining. Its right arm is equipped with a huge electric drill, and its left arm is a powerful iron clamp.

It can easily punch through rocks and lift thousands of kilograms of ore.

Lights are also installed on it so that it can work normally even at night.

Compared with previous manual mining, the effect of using SCV is greatly improved.

However, Gu Yu also saw the problem.

The City of Stars is a bit far away from several mines, so each SCV has to travel a long way.

Why not build a warehouse nearby?

Gu Yu secretly wondered if Swann was too busy and neglected it. Should he help build a few?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought of Swann, Swann came to him.

"Clan leader, have you seen these SCVs? The transportation route is too long now and it is very inconvenient."

Swann said directly when they met.

"It's not bad. It's better than manual labor. We can't expand the number of engineering troops any more."

Gu Yu deliberately didn't say anything. Since Swann discovered the problem, he shouldn't be able to think of a solution.

First listen to what he means.

"There are already fifteen SCVs, and I plan to build thirty. Any more will affect the recruitment of other sources of troops."

Swann said seriously.

Gu Yu nodded silently. Even if an SCV had two drivers, it would still require 60 people, which was indeed a lot.

“If you build a large warehouse near each resource point, you can stock up on supplies when the time comes.

Certain problems can be solved, but resources are still not processed in a timely manner and the effect cannot be maximized. "

Swann continued.

"Uncle, what can you do?"

Gu Yu was really curious now and couldn't help but ask.

“We can build a forward base, which is much more efficient than a regular warehouse.

Although it is expensive, it is worth every penny.

Now the technology of Star City can be built. "

Swann came up with a better plan.

After listening carefully to Swann's introduction, Gu Yu finally had a preliminary understanding of the forward base.

This kind of production base made of steel can not only store resources, but also directly refine them.

The resources processed by the base are directly counted into the unit, and the lord can use them immediately.

This saves a lot of transportation time and saves costs.

In addition, the forward base can produce and repair SCVs on its own and build them nearby.

If it were in the outside world, an advanced base could develop a complex of buildings.

Even if we build another branch city, it won't be a problem.

What excited Gu Yu the most was that this production base could also be launched into the air.

Of course, this requires the technological development of the Military Academy, which is not possible yet.

But the attraction is enough.

With a beautiful vision for the future, Gu Yu spent a lot of resources with a wave of his hand.

A huge steel base appeared in an open area near several mines.

The appearance of this base is very similar to that of Starry Sky City, except that it is much smaller and its functions are simple.

From now on, the SCV will be produced and maintained directly at the forward base.

Swann only needs to send the trained engineers to the base and drive the SCV to mine in the wild.

As a result, mining efficiency is improved several times compared to before.

Gu Yu made a simple calculation using energy mines.

The current energy mine in the territory of the Dark Sky Clan is a large vein formed by the fusion of four energy mines.

According to the previous mining efficiency, approximately four thousand units of energy crystals can be collected in one day.

Using SCV mining, one SCV can collect a thousand units a day, and eight SCVs can collect 8,000 units a day.

Saturation mining of this energy mine requires twelve SCVs.

When the number of SCVs is replenished, 12,000 units of energy crystals can be collected every day.

In addition, Dark Sky City automatically converts 4,000 units per day, and Star Sky City automatically converts 2,000 units per day.

The energy crystals of the Dark Sky Clan naturally increase by 18,000 every day.

After a week, there were more than 120,000, and the gap in recruiting troops was suddenly much smaller.

Don't worry, after I collect another seven or eight energy mines, I can win every day.
