Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 294 The Soul of the Wolf King
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 around for a long time, it is still quite advanced technology for a new era where civilization is almost broken and the level of technology is equivalent to restarting from the Stone Age!

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

Its activation requires an extremely large amount of energy. Cheng Shen reckoned that the energy provided to run the entire building is only enough for one blow.

But it can be expected.

The destructive power it can cause will also be at the level of destroying the world!

This apocalyptic device is equivalent to a thunderstorm chariot whose power has been enhanced hundreds of times, or in other words, the thunderstorm chariot is simply a simplified version of a war weapon researched and manufactured based on this ancient device!

but.

Sadly it's not complete.

Cheng Shen didn't know where the owner of the castle got the blueprint of this building, and he had no way of knowing.The explanation given by the system mentioned that this device still lacks a part of the main structure and cannot be activated.

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

It is responsible for extracting the energy from the energy spar, 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 is basically scrapped.

"pity……"

Cheng Shen activated his innate ability to gain insight into the internal structure of this huge device, trying to analyze its existing problems.

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

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

Even if it is two completely irrelevant parts.

It can also work with the support of special runes such as constructing golems.

Therefore, magic devices do not need to pursue precision too much.

Even at the level of electronic technology, the overall improvement of the device is not great, and 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.

Give the simplest example.

chip.

Chips are an important central component of electronic technology for processing information. The more sophisticated an electronic chip is, the smaller the space it occupies inside the device, and the larger and more complex the amount of information it 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 the second rank now.

It is conceivable that if it is a higher-level spellcaster, or even the soul of an extraordinary person who has refined the law system, how exaggerated the speed of information processing will be...

Of course, obtaining the soul of a high-level professional is not an easy task.

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

The development tendency of the two technologies has its own advantages...

The apocalypse device in front of Cheng Shen is a typical creation of magical technology. Its internal mechanical structure is quite simple, and even a layman like Cheng Shen who has no engineering background can understand its basic structure at a glance.

And clearly judge the role of each structure.

As for the magic structure, Cheng Shen was familiar with the analysis.

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

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

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

In his hand is a runic weapon that is also a creation of magic technology.
bird.

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, the energy cannot be stored, especially for this kind of war weapon that consumes a lot of money, it cannot be activated without the energy storage device.

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

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

of equal importance.

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

Besides.

Most energy weapons will also be equipped with some auxiliary devices.

For example, in the structure of the flying bird, it is equipped with a set of energy aiming devices, which allow Cheng Shen to accurately lock the target when shooting, and there are also a set of boosters for increasing the shooting distance and a set of boosting devices for enhancing penetration.

The structure is quite complicated.

As for the apocalypse device, which can be called a campaign-level terrorist war weapon, the auxiliary modules it assembles will only become more complicated.

however.

Cheng Shen found out after inspection.

This incomplete apocalypse device is truly incomplete.

Not only the energy storage device and the starting device in the important basic device are missing.

The rest of the auxiliary components are none at all.

Basically an empty shell.

He also counted on using this weapon of war to directly hit the barren village, maybe it could be wiped off the map directly...

I can only think about it now.

And as far as the level of technology he currently masters is concerned, it is completely impossible to restore this apocalypse device to normal operation.

I felt a pang of regret.

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

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

The building is running at full power, and the consumption is really terrifying.

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

Just energy consumption.

Thousands of rare energy spars need to be invested every hour!
The castle has stored nearly a thousand years of heritage, but it was burned to the ground in less than three days.

With the resource reserves of Cheng Shen's territory, it can only maintain its operation for four to five hours...

Simply exaggerated.

Cheng Shen was already considering whether to sell some of the Stormtroopers and their props to restore blood.

These alchemy creatures, who are not afraid of death and are immune to most of the negative states, are the most cost-effective choice for reclaiming the unknown areas around the wasteland, and they will surely attract the survivors.

But their purchasing power is a huge problem...

They are all poor.

thought here.

Cheng Shen glanced at his lord reputation.

After winning a war and killing an extraordinary lord, his lord reputation has already exceeded [-] points.

It seems to be approaching the two thousand mark.

And if the reputation exceeds [-] points, the trade market will have a chance to attract a second caravan.

Also, the development level of the trade caravan will increase as his reputation increases.To put it simply, the prestige of the lord represents the qualifications for trading, and the higher the prestige value, the higher the level of trading that can be participated in.

In any case, the economic level of the territory of the next caravan he will meet must be higher than that of the Huitu tribe.

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

Turned.

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

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

The former can recruit three different ranks of thunder beasts, and there is a chance to give birth to a king beast, but this king beast will only stay in the lair, and it will only participate in the battle when the territory is breached and the lair is attacked .

In contrast.

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

The King Beast had already been born in this Thunder Beast lair, and Cheng Shen had seen traces of its existence.

——In the resource warehouse of the territory.

Its body was disassembled and made into magic items with different effects, and its wolf king soul was imprisoned in one of the equipment.

The administrator of the castle didn't want the ultralisk lair to produce its own king.

All they need is a group of war beasts who obey the command.

Find out the cause and effect.

Cheng Shen came to the warehouse to take out the item and returned to the wolf's lair.

In the dimly lit underground cave, pairs of oily green eyes kept flickering.

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

But at this moment Cheng Shen destroyed it without hesitation.

Snapped!
A clear mark cracked on the hard wolf's head, and then expanded rapidly, and a white ghost floated out from it.

"Ow~!"

The ghost let out a long howl, and there were one after another responses from the cave, and for a while, there was a wave of sound.

Several huge silver-white giant beasts came running to Cheng Shen. These Thunder Wolves were each the size of a yak, with limbs as thick as pillars, running like the wind, and arcs of light intertwined in their hair.

They knelt down on their forelegs as if welcoming the return of the wolf king, and also as if they were expecting something.

however.

The ghost hovered in mid-air for a while, but it flew straight to the depths of the burrow.

Cheng Shen started to follow, and several leader Thunder Beasts immediately followed behind him.

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

After turning around, he bent down and got into one of the cubs.

"Ouch..."

Those Thunder Wolves immediately stepped forward, protected the Thunder Beast cub, gritted their teeth in front of Cheng Shen, and warned him not to approach, Cheng Shen immediately understood that the Wolf King chose this way Heir.

Also know.

Why does the manager of the castle want to imprison its soul.

"Birth of the King Beast... is a good and bad choice for the lord. The advantage is that the thunder beasts will have stronger combat effectiveness. With an organized wolf pack, there is a fundamental relationship between a group of monsters that can only charge around. gender distinction.

But I can no longer completely control the herd..."

Cheng Shen thought about it.

Ultralisks are undoubtedly a high-level recruiting unit. The basic combat power of an adult can reach the elite level. At the same level, the attributes of beasts will be much higher than humans, and it is difficult to compete without equipment bonuses.

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

The price/performance ratio of Thunderbeast is even higher than that of Stormtrooper.

and.

They're worth more than just for head-on combat!
Cheng Shen's thoughts turned, and he measured the multiple uses of this race from various perspectives in a very short period of time.

First of all.

Ultralisk 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 Bug. It can be ridden when it is cultivated to an adult, and it has a chance to be promoted to a leader or a lord unit. As a pet, its trading value is extremely high!
And I have to say.

The appearance of the Ultralisk cub is also a bonus item that cannot be ignored.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but pick up a howling Thunder Beast cub. Its appearance was similar to that of a farm puppy, with a cute and naive appearance. The lanugo hair had not completely faded from its body, just like a milky white fluffy kiwi fruit.

Adult Thunder Beasts will change into a body of silver-white electrified hair, which is a little less cute and becomes very cool.

although.

Appearance does not provide an additional bonus in the face of danger.

But compared to cultivating a monster like a polluting creature that makes people lose their minds...

If you want to come, more people will still choose a pet with a good appearance.

Cheng Shen wanted to raise one himself.

Of course, if possible, he would prefer to take away the cub chosen by the wolf king's soul...

The second is what was just mentioned.

Adult Swift Thunderwolves can grow to about two meters in size, and they can be ridden completely. Their frontal combat ability is not weak, but if they are used to train a wolf cavalry, it will undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger!
Cheng Shen never imagined that his idea of ​​cultivating war horses through pastures had not yet been realized.

On the contrary, there is another harvest!
This recruiting building fell into the hands of the original owner of the castle, and it was a waste of money...

Cheng Shen counted the number of recruited beasts in the Thunder Beast's lair.

Among them, there are more than 200 Thunder Beast cubs.

It is worth mentioning that.

Just cultivating them to adults requires the consumption of nearly ten thousand units of meat.

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

But with the previous idea, he can completely sell these Thunder Beasts.

While collecting money.

While leaving the burden of cultivation to the buyer!

As for the rest, more than 300 adult Galewind Thunder Wolves had been recruited.

Raising these Thunderwolves also required a large amount of meat.

Cheng Shen couldn't feed them human flesh like Castle's original solution.

You can't feed your own meat either... Although he can proliferate flesh and blood tissue indefinitely, his blood contains complex energy components, and also contains strange pollution, which could easily lead to a biochemical crisis.

The best result is to sell as soon as possible.

Just that way.

With more than 1000 survivors in the community alone, whether they can afford it has become a problem.

Cultivating one or a few cavalry alone will not work at all.

You have to start with a team.

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

Cheng Shen has no hope of their purchasing power.

But if he couldn't sell it, these more than 1000 adult Thunder Beasts would become his burden instead.

All slaughtered for meat?
Cheng Shen couldn't help but flash this rather wasteful thought in his mind.
