Chapter 2164 Artificial Bait

Dust like dandelions is impossible to prevent. It is difficult for sandstorms to occur in the jungle. After all, with the obstruction of trees, most of the dust will be blocked. But if it is replaced, it can float in mid-air like a dandelion. Dust is another story. Unless it rains heavily, these dusts will almost never fall to the ground, and compared to real dandelions, their surfaces are quite waterproof. The coating, even in heavy rain, can continue to float as long as it is not directly hit by raindrops. Their dandelion-like floating method can easily be sucked into the air inlets of various rotating machinery. .

The consequences of this are often disastrous. In particular, these mechanized war weapons often have their own independent power devices, such as internal combustion engines. Although the principles may be different, they are all types that require the inhalation of air or other substances. In this case During the process, if the air containing these dusts is absorbed, the result will be catastrophic. After all, the internal structures of these devices are often quite precise. Once there is a little bit of wear, it may cause huge harm, and these The special sand itself is much harder than real sand. If it cannot be removed bit by bit, the wear will only become more serious as time goes by. The wear and tear can reach fatal levels.

Even if such an engine can be replaced, the price will definitely be quite high. After all, even if the other party has industrial capabilities, the production capacity of industrial precision equipment is definitely limited.

So in the early days of the war, when such white dust spread, the situation on the battlefield began to change. The effect of this weapon specially designed for mechanical enemies was completely as if a living thing had penetrated the sand in its body. Although It will feel very painful, but your own physiological structure will expel the foreign matter from the body little by little.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the amount of abnormal material in the body is not particularly large and the volume is not particularly large, the human body can find a solution. Remove them bit by bit through metabolism or appetite and wounds.

Although these dust and other things can also cause harm to living bodies, the damage is much weaker, and even if it causes damage to living bodies, the wounds can heal themselves. In comparison, the damage caused by the dust integrated into the machine is much greater. After all, mechanical parts have no self-healing ability. After damage occurs, it is a real damage without any means of recovery. The only option is to replace parts. After all, in industrial conditions, the cost of replacing parts is even lower than the cost of repair.

In such an environment, both sides were hurt at the same time, but it was obviously the mechanical side that suffered greater damage. They were put at a disadvantage when it came to cutting down their initial crops.

At the same time, during the battle, Chenxi also began to pay attention to the development of machinery. It's just that he doesn't use mechanical parts for his own life form. Since he has already adopted the method of using sand and other restraint machinery to fight this time, adding mechanical units to his side is purely adding to the chaos.

What he meant by attaching importance to was the development of the enemy's machinery industry. What these mechanical devices require is no longer the ordered matter produced by photosynthesis. Rather, they are minerals contained in natural media. Through the reaction between minerals and ordered substances, a substance that cannot be used by living organisms, but is still ordered, is formed.

Use them to make various mechanical equipment, and these minerals cannot be produced continuously like photosynthesis. They can only be mined on the map. This means that the two sides need to fight for the next war. There is one more resource point. In addition to the territory, there is another mineral. Compared with ordinary territories, territories with minerals have become more precious this time.

Although these minerals have very limited effect on the morning sun, he must find ways to occupy these areas. After occupying these areas, he can use them as bait to create traps in which to ambush his enemies.

As long as you occupy enough mineral areas, the opponent's resources will definitely be in short supply, and the focus of your attack will be on these mineral areas. After the emergence of these important strategic locations, the role of defense towers was further demonstrated.

The previous construction of defense towers was a relatively cumbersome and passive defense. After all, enemies may not come to areas densely populated with defense towers. And your defense towers won't move around. In this way, the attacking side actually has the advantage and consumes much less resources than the defending side.

But from another perspective, if there is a place that the enemy must attack, then the defensive towers here will be more effective than offensive weapons.

Defense towers do not need to be moved. If it were just there, the cost would be much lower. As long as you make sure the enemy attacks this area frequently, defense will definitely pay off.

Now there are more areas full of minerals. These areas are areas where enemies will inevitably attack. Setting up a large number of defense towers here will naturally be very effective.

Chenxi relied on the initial sandstorm to gain a considerable advantage in the initial competition for resources. At the same time, they relied on drones to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, and roughly obtained the routine of this space. Although they were fighting with a large army, the size of the room was already very huge, and there were even mountains, rivers, and lakes.

But in the final analysis, it is still inside the pyramid. Even if the combat space is extremely huge, there is actually an upper limit.

If this range is explored using flying units, it won't take long to record the entire map.

The signs of mineral resources here are also very obvious. The location of these mineral units can be detected from the air. It seems that all the minerals are exposed on the surface to make it easier for both sides to collect during the battle. The distribution of these mineral resources can be roughly inferred from the area of ​​these exposed minerals.

Chen Xi had figured out this rule in the last battle. The larger the surface area of ​​the mineral area, the greater the total amount of minerals contained. And this rule can actually be used in reverse.

Chen Xi had already thought about what to do before starting this war. So when the enemy started to investigate the map, they saw a giant mineral vein that had been refreshed in the area where Chenxi was, in an area near his base camp.

The size of the mineral vein is about ten times that of ordinary mineral veins. If it is occupied, there will basically be no shortage of minerals. The only drawback is that the mineral vein is too close to the core area where the opponent is. If you want to grab it first, it is impossible to do so.

But there is no doubt that this vein will be selected as the next key offensive area. But the location of this mineral area is quite remote. Located in a valley, the majestic mountains only have one entrance on the front, similar to the kind of terrain where one man is blocked and no one can open it. Faced with such terrain, it is really difficult for outsiders to penetrate, and a large number of troops will be consumed by defense towers along the way. But the temptation is absolutely worth it.

After Chen Xi discovered the mining area, he immediately put up heavy troops to protect it. During this opening period, the opponent has no way to get this mining area, and in terms of competition for initial resources, it is passive due to sand and dust. Even if Chen Xi allocated part of his troops to protect the mining area from being captured, he still had a slight advantage in the initial land grabbing process, so this advantage was not very big and was not enough. Decide the outcome of this war. But when Shachen restrains the opponent, as long as he has the advantage, it will be difficult for the opponent to come back.

It's just that the guardians don't know that the results they detect in the air may not be true. Sometimes the eyes can deceive you.

After experiencing this battlefield once, Chen Xi discovered that the map in the battlefield would change every time he entered it. This change will make the terrain random, and both sides must use reconnaissance to know the situation on the map.

Faced with this situation, reconnaissance is a must. It is because the enemy needs to send troops to conduct reconnaissance every time before starting a battle, that he is sure that the opponent does not know every change of terrain.

And since the enemy doesn't know about it, there is something to be done here. Since the distribution of minerals itself is random. And the size of the vein can be basically determined by the area seen from the sky.

So is it possible to make a vein with no minerals appear unusually huge in the sky?

This method naturally exists. Although most of these minerals are shallow minerals, they will disappear if you continue to dig deeper. But if you just scrape off one layer and lay it next to it, there is no problem at all. Soldiers throughout the town were busy with this matter during that time. Create a face-saving project that is attractive enough.

The minerals are mined and spread around, forming a mining area that looks extremely huge from the sky. As a result, what was originally a small mine was abruptly expanded into a super large mine with an area dozens of times larger than the original one.

No clues could be found from the sky. Anyone who sees it will believe that it is full of precious minerals, but in fact this is not the case at all.

This is undoubtedly a fatal trap for the opponent. The opponent needs a large amount of minerals, so there is no way to endure such temptation. And even if the opponent really breaks through this place and discharges the mining robots here, it will eventually fail. They will find that there are no minerals they want here at all, and there is just a trap to deceive them. With a trap like this, it is even more difficult to remove the layer of mineral veins from the surface than digging other small mines. That is absolutely not worth the gain, not to mention that a large number of troops will be lost in the process of attacking here.

In order to cause enough trouble for the enemy's attacking troops, many professional dust defense towers were also deployed during the installation of defense towers in these areas, turning this long valley into a foggy area, making it impossible for any machine to escape from these fogs. If it passes through, fine dust will be mixed into the interior, causing damage to the machine.

Designs like this are all over the entire valley, and the enemy must launch an attack here because of resources. When they first started fighting for territory, the territory surrounding this area was violently snatched away by the other party. But that's about it. The dangerous terrain of the canyon is really difficult to deal with. There is a river flowing near the canyon, and this river is under control. Dawn can deploy its own defenses on the river, and it is not easy to cross the river.

Originally, these species evolved from the water, but after being away from the water for too long, the ability of these species to live in the water has weakened. After all, they are combat units on land and must adapt to various complex situations on land. They have to give up part of it and sacrifice part of their abilities, and in this case, they often lose quite a lot of abilities.

If we want to balance the ability to move in the water with the ability to fight on land, then the ability to fight on land will inevitably be weakened. In addition, metal itself will be extremely affected in the water. If it enters the water to fight, it will be damaged. The probability is much greater.

Dawn only needs to place in the river those creatures that can only live in water. You can completely defeat the opponent in terms of professionalism. The opponent will either invest a lot of resources to fight him in the water, or forcefully cross the river, and suffer a lot of losses caused by attacks in the process. Forced to cross the river, encountering numerous attacks and losses in the process.

Theoretically, the river does have a certain value for competition, but this value is actually quite limited. Even if the river is captured, it can only be used as a barrier and cannot be used as a production area. After all, this is just a river. Rather than a vast ocean.

Therefore, the battle was quite brutal right from the beginning. The combat effectiveness of the mechanical army was indeed stronger from the front, but the appearance of a large number of non-combat attrition leveled the combat effectiveness between the two sides.

A fierce fight broke out above the river, and the opponent also showed his unprecedented trump card. Obviously, although he had forced out most of the opponent's trump cards before, some super abilities were still retained. For example, in the river A huge battleship built on it.

These giant metal battleships have extremely thick shells, making it difficult for almost all biological arms to break through their defenses.
