Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

Apocalypse Device.

Cheng Shen found this research in the list of unlocked technologies in the temple.

This is an ancient technology inherited from the old era, but although it has been a long time, it is still quite advanced technology for a new era where civilization is almost annihilated and the technological level is equivalent to restarting from the Stone Age!

The entire Apocalypse Temple is only a part of this installation.

Its activation requires an extremely large amount of energy. Cheng Shen estimated that the energy provided to the entire building would only be enough for one blow.

But it can be expected.

The destructive power it can cause will also be world-destroying!

This apocalyptic device is equivalent to a thunderstorm chariot that is hundreds of times more powerful. In other words, the thunderstorm chariot is simply a simplified version of the war weapon that was researched and manufactured based on this ancient device!

but.

Sadly it is incomplete.

Cheng Shen didn't know where the castle owner got the drawings of this building, and he had no way of knowing. The instructions given by the system mentioned that the device was missing part of the main structure and could not be started.

The incomplete device in front of us now can only function as an energy transfer hub.

It is responsible for extracting the energy from the energy crystals and then transmitting it to the various workshops of the temple.

It is also the core structure responsible for the energy operation of the entire building.

Once it is damaged, the production building will be basically scrapped.

"pity……"

Cheng Shen turned on his natural ability to gain insight into the internal structure of this huge device, trying to analyze its problems.

In fact, in terms of precision, this Apocalypse device is at most equivalent to a mechanical device from the steam age.

This is also the characteristic of magic technology. Fantasy magic technology can make the impossible possible.

Even if it is two completely unrelated parts that do not fit together.

It can also operate with the support of special runes such as constructing a demon puppet.

Therefore, magic devices do not need to pursue precision.

Even if it reaches the level of electronic technology, the overall improvement of the device will not be much. In the process of pursuing high-precision mechanical devices, the research resources that need to be invested far exceed the benefits that can be obtained.

Let’s take the simplest example.

chip.

Chips are an important central component of electronic technology for processing information. The more high-precision electronic chips, the smaller the space they occupy inside the device, and the larger and more complex the amount of information they can process.

But in magic technology.

This need can be completely replaced with the soul of a high-level professional.

Cheng Shen's current mental calculations are no worse than basic civilian computers.

He is only at the second level now.

It is conceivable that if it were a higher-level spell caster, or even the soul of an extraordinary person who has refined the legal system, the information processing speed would be able to reach such an exaggerated level...

Of course, it is not easy to obtain the soul of a high-level professional.

And the development of the chip need not cause any harm.

The development trends of the two technologies each have their own advantages...

The Apocalypse Device in front of Cheng Shen is a typical magical technology creation. Its internal mechanical structure is quite streamlined. Even a layman like Cheng Shen with no engineering foundation can understand its basic structure at a glance.

And clearly judge the function of each structure.

As for the magical structure, Cheng Shen was even more familiar with analyzing it.

It was quickly analyzed where the problem was that it could not start.

"There are a lot of important structures missing..."

Cheng Shen's eyes were blank. He couldn't help scratching his head, and his anticipation for this device instantly calmed down.

In his hand was a runic weapon created by magic technology.

flying birds.

Cheng Shen still has a certain understanding of the structure of energy weapons.

Energy weapons generally have three important components.

energy storage device,

conversion device,

Start the device.

The energy storage device is equivalent to the magazine of a weapon. Without this part of the structure, energy cannot be accumulated. Especially for this type of war weapon that consumes a lot of money, it cannot be started without an energy storage device.

The effect of the conversion device is to convert pure energy into destructive potential energy.

Just like the role spiritual runes play in the release of magic.

Equally important.

Not to mention the final starting device, without this part of the structure, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is just a pile of scrap metal.

besides.

Most energy weapons are also equipped with some auxiliary devices.

For example, the structure of the flying bird is equipped with a set of energy aiming devices, which allows Cheng Shen to accurately lock the target when firing. There are also a set of amplifying devices to increase the shooting range and a set of amplifying devices to enhance penetration.

The structure is quite complex.

As for the Apocalypse Device, which is a combat-level terrorist weapon of war, the auxiliary modules it is equipped with will only become more complicated.

However.

Cheng Shen found out after checking.

This incomplete Apocalypse device is truly incomplete.

Not only is the energy storage device and starting device in important infrastructure devices missing.

There are no other auxiliary components at all.

It's basically an empty shell.

He also hopes to use this war weapon to directly attack the deserted village, maybe it can be directly wiped off the map...

I can only think about it now.

And based on the level of technology he currently possesses, it is even more impossible to restore this apocalyptic device to normal operation.

I felt a pang of regret.

Cheng Shen then basically shut down the main functions of the Apocalypse Temple and no longer consumed resources.

The various manufactured items it currently produces are enough for him to carry out a war.

When this building is operating at full power, the consumption is really terrifying.

Not to mention the various basic materials needed to make puppets and props.

Just energy consumption.

Thousands of rare-level energy crystals need to be invested every hour!

The castle had stored up nearly a thousand years of treasure, but it was all burned down in less than three days.

The resource reserves of Cheng Shen's territory can only maintain its operation for four or five hours...

Simply exaggerated.

Cheng Shen was already considering whether to sell some of the storm warriors and props to restore his health.

These alchemical creatures, which are not afraid of death and are immune to most negative conditions, are used to open up unknown areas around the wasteland. They are the most cost-effective option and will surely attract the favor of survivors.

But their purchasing power is a huge problem...

They are all very poor.

Think of this.

Cheng Shen took a look at his reputation as a lord.

After winning a war and killing an extraordinary lord, his reputation as a lord has already exceeded one thousand points.

It seems to be approaching the two thousand mark.

If your reputation exceeds 1,000 points, the trade market will have a chance of attracting a second caravan.

Moreover, the development level of the trade caravan will also increase as his reputation increases. Simply put, the lord's reputation represents the qualification for trading. The higher the reputation value, the higher the level of trading that he can participate in.

No matter what, the economic level of the next caravan he will welcome will definitely be one level higher than that of the Gray Earth Tribe.

Hopefully they will be interested in the output of their territory.

Turn your head.

Cheng Shen then inspected the two recruitment buildings, Thunder Beast Lair and Qingying Courtyard.

Compared with the Temple of Apocalypse, the functions of these two buildings are purer.

The former can recruit three different levels of thunder beasts, and has a probability of giving birth to a king beast, but this king beast will only stay in the lair. It will only participate in the battle when its territory is breached and the lair is attacked. .

In comparison.

After the king beast is born, the additional characteristics of the building will be more significant.

This thunder beast's lair had originally given birth to a king beast, and Cheng Shen had seen traces of its existence.

——It’s in the territory’s resource warehouse.

Its body was split apart and made into magic props with different effects, and its soul was imprisoned in one of the pieces of equipment.

The administrator of the castle does not want his king to be born in the Thunder Beast's lair.

All they need is a group of war beasts that obey their command.

Understand the cause and effect.

Cheng Shen came to the warehouse, took out the item and returned to the wolf lair.

In the dark underground cave, a pair of oil-green eyes flashed continuously.

He took out a huge white wolf head from his backpack. This is a piece of head equipment. After wearing it, the holder can gain the ability to control the wolves, and this perfect piece of equipment also has high attribute bonuses.

But at this moment, Cheng Shen destroyed it without hesitation.

Snap!

A clear mark cracked on the hard wolf head, and then expanded rapidly, and a wisp of white ghost floated out from it.

"Ouch~!"

The ghost let out a long roar, and a series of responses suddenly came from the cave. For a while, the sound was like a wave.

Several huge silver-white beasts ran towards Cheng Shen. Each of these thunder wolves was as big as a yak, with limbs as thick as pillars. They ran like the wind, and their hair was intertwined with flashing arcs.

They knelt down and lowered their forelimbs as if to welcome the return of the wolf king, as if they were expecting something.

However.

The ghost hovered in the air for a while, but then flew straight into the depths of the cave.

Cheng Shen moved to follow, and several leader thunder beasts immediately followed behind him.

The ghost flew all the way to the deepest part of the cave and came to the cave where the Thunder Beast cubs were kept.

After wandering around for a while, he leaned down and penetrated into one of the cubs.

"Ouch..."

The thunder wolves immediately stepped forward and protected the cub of the thunder beast. They bared their teeth in front of Cheng Shen and warned him not to come closer. Cheng Shen immediately understood that the wolf king was selected in this way. heir.

I also know it.

Why do the keepers of the castle imprison its soul?

"The birth of a king beast... is a choice with good and bad consequences for the lord. The advantage is that the combat effectiveness of the thunder beasts will be stronger. With an organized wolf pack, there is a fundamental difference between a group of monsters that can only rush randomly. sexual distinction.

But I can no longer fully control this herd..."

Cheng Shen thought deeply.

The Thunder Beast is undoubtedly a high-level recruitment unit. The basic combat power of an adult body can reach the elite level. At the same level, the attributes of the beast will be much higher than that of humans. It is difficult to compete without equipment bonus.

But just like the iron-blooded soldiers he trained, the cost of equipping them with a complete set of combat equipment was much higher than recruiting an Thunder Beast.

The price-performance ratio of Ultralisk is even higher than that of Stormtrooper.

and.

Their value goes beyond just being used in frontal combat!

Cheng Shen's thoughts swirled, and in a very short period of time, he measured the various uses of this race from many angles.

first.

Thunder beast cubs can be sold as pets!

The combat power provided by a thunder beast cub is a hundred times stronger than that of a thunder insect. It can be ridden when it is cultivated into an adult, and there is a chance of being promoted to a leader or lord unit. Its trading value as a pet is extremely high!

And it has to be said.

The appearance of the Thunder Beast cub is also a bonus that cannot be ignored.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but pick up a snarling thunder beast cub. It looked like a farm puppy and was cute. The fetal hair on its body had not completely faded away, and it looked like a milky white furry kiwi fruit.

When it reaches adulthood, the Thunder Beast will be covered in silver-white electrified hair, which makes it less cute and becomes very cool.

although.

Appearance does not provide an additional bonus when facing danger.

But compared to cultivating a monster that makes you lose your mind just by looking at it...

I think more people will choose a good-looking pet.

Cheng Shen himself wanted to raise one.

Of course, if possible, he would rather take away the cub chosen by the Wolf King's soul...

The second is what was just mentioned.

The adult Swift Thunder Wolf can grow to about two meters in size and can be ridden completely. Their frontal combat ability is not weak, and if used to train a wolf cavalry, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful!

Cheng Shen never imagined that his idea of ​​raising war horses through pastures had not yet been realized.

On the contrary, I gained something from finding a new way!

This recruitment building fell into the hands of the original owner of the castle. It was a waste of natural resources...

Cheng Shen counted the number of recruiting beasts currently in the thunder beast's lair.

Among them, there are more than two hundred Thunder Beast cubs.

It is worth mentioning that.

Just raising them to adulthood requires the consumption of nearly 10,000 units of meat.

This will put a huge burden on Cheng Shen's territorial grain reserves.

But with the previous idea, he could sell all these thunder beasts.

While collecting money.

While leaving the burden of cultivation to the buyer!

As for the rest, more than 1,300 adult Thunder Wolfs have been recruited.

Raising these thunder wolves also requires a large amount of meat.

Cheng Shen couldn't feed them human flesh like the castle's original plan.

He cannot feed his own meat either... Although he can proliferate flesh and blood tissue indefinitely, his blood contains complex energy components and also contains strange pollution. If not done properly, it can easily cause a biochemical crisis.

The best result is to sell it as soon as possible.

Just this way.

With more than a thousand survivors in the society alone, whether they can afford it is a question.

Cultivating one or several cavalry alone will not be effective at all.

You have to start with a formation.

But how many survivors can afford to spend money to train a cavalry now?

Cheng Shen has no hope for their purchasing power.

But if he couldn't sell them, the more than a thousand adult thunder beasts would become his burden.

Slaughtered them all for meat?

Cheng Shen couldn't help but have this rather wasteful thought flash through his mind.
