The great flood almost wiped out everyone's previous deployments. Although the North Water Empire suffered more heavy losses, the attack that the Nanhuo Empire finally organized also suffered a major setback. More importantly, in the course of this war
, there was no way to capture prisoners, and the lost strong men with rarer attributes could not be replaced, so the backbone of the Southern Fire Empire was weakened.
This also gave the Beishui Empire some breathing space and began to try new defensive positions.
Because the terrain is to the north, the climate of the Northern Water Empire itself is relatively cold. The two Five Elements Continents are both located in the northern hemisphere, so they both follow the characteristics of getting hotter toward the south and colder toward the north. Following this characteristic,
Under such circumstances, although the large river in the Northern Water Empire does not freeze in winter, there will still be some frozen ice floes on the river.
This time they built their defense based on these soldiers.
Winter is about to come, and this is the most suitable time to condense ice on the water. The water itself is close to 0 degrees, and it only needs to be cooled down slightly to freeze.
The strong ones with the water attribute are good at controlling temperature. To be precise, they are good at cooling down. The opposite is true for the strong ones with the fire attribute.
It is not difficult for them to create ice on the river. As long as they occupy the upper reaches and continuously throw ice cubes into the water, they can make the river extremely dangerous.
Although ice cubes are not as hard as rocks, they can float on the water and move at high speeds with the current. This kind of thing is obviously very destructive to the ship. Once it hits the ship, it is likely to be
Cause irreversible damage.
A large amount of ice can form freezing floods in the river. At this time, even a 10,000-ton steel ship will only be crushed into a pile of scrap metal in the river. Even the current icebreakers do not dare to survive in freezing floods.
Driving against the direction of the river is asking for death.
This defense can theoretically defend the river very tightly. The flaw is that the river water is constantly flowing, so the process of making ice upstream must also be non-stop, otherwise the ice will be exhausted. The Northern Water Empire
After all, the river in the south is not far enough north and the temperature is not low enough. If it continues to the north, the temperature of the river will be enough to freeze the river itself.
Of course, that will also face problems, that is, after the river freezes, the enemy can pass directly through the ice of the river. In fact, if the Southern Fire Empire does not have enough water-attribute experts, before winter comes,
They may have already tried to build a bridge out of ice to lead to the other side.
While building this ice defense belt, the strong men of the Three Kingdoms Alliance also began to train the Five Elements Formation. The principle of the Five Elements Formation is so simple that even the captured Southern Fire Empire soldiers cannot
He revealed that after observing it several times on the battlefield, he could roughly see the principle.
And this formation with such a simple principle is not particularly difficult to practice together. People with five different attributes press their hands on the back of the former in the order of the five elements. In this way, a cycle can be completed. The next step is
How to skillfully use this fused power.
Training in this area can usually achieve quite significant results within a month. The North Water Empire has now trained a considerable number of strong men who can use the Five Elements Formation. They have strong men with three attributes. Compared with the Southern Fire If the empire wants to train strong men with this kind of formation, the difficulty is even much lower. They only need to capture prisoners with two attributes. In comparison, the Southern Fire Empire needs to capture three. A captive of this attribute.
If they had not captured many wood-attribute prisoners in the Dongmu Empire in the previous war, their disadvantage would have been even more serious. However, the artillery attack of the Southern Fire Empire has not been able to be cracked until now. The power of covering bombing on the battlefield still cannot find a solution, and now the territory of the Dongmu Empire has been abandoned, and in this area, there are actually many wood attribute extraordinary beings who have not migrated. If they leave, they will gradually be gathered up by the Southern Fire Empire and forcibly incorporated into the army. As one goes, the advantage of the Three Kingdoms Alliance will be weakened bit by bit.
Delaying time in the short term is beneficial to the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but in the long run, it is still detrimental to them.
On the Southern Fire Empire's side, as the weather became colder and colder, they also noticed ice cubes appearing on the rivers. This was definitely not a good omen for them. In fact, winter itself was not a good sign for the Southern Fire Empire. It is a bad season. What they are good at is fire attribute and high temperature. In winter, the damage their high temperature can cause will be greatly weakened, the distance that the temperature can spread will be greatly reduced, and the energy required to create high temperature will be greatly reduced. will also increase significantly.
Lie Yan directly announced to temporarily stop the attack. If he continued to attack at this time, it would be nothing more than consuming his own strength, which was an act of losing more than the gain. Instead of doing this, it would be better to use his range advantage to attack the Beishui Empire on the river. Ships, which can also prostitute the opponent's extraordinary beings for free and cause some damage to them. It can only be said that if you have the ability, let the Three Kingdoms Alliance cross this river and fight a counter-war. If you don't have this ability, you can only passively be beaten. .
The situation in front of us seems to be in a stalemate. The river in winter is extremely dangerous. If you fall into the river in other seasons, as long as you can swim, you will probably not drown. But in this season, If you fall into the river, even if you can swim, your body will quickly lose body temperature, and then you will fall into extreme weakness. In such an environment, an ordinary person may suffocate in five seconds. Even an extraordinary person, It is also difficult to persist in such an environment for five minutes. And if they fall into the water in the center of the river, five minutes is definitely not enough time for them to return to the shore. Then they will basically freeze to death in the water. Obviously, both parties None of the soldiers wanted to face such a death.
Seemingly stuck in a stalemate, Lie Yan is also trying her own way to break the situation. She feels that she needs to set her weapon to a longer distance, and it is very difficult to hit targets outside the field of vision. .
Obviously, we need to ask for help from Lan Nuo again in this regard. After all, Lie Yan doesn't have any special talents in designing weapons. Lan Nuo is more suitable for this operation when Dr. Zombie King transforms.
"Do you want to design a weapon with an ultra-long range that can directly hit the other side? In fact, your artillery can theoretically do it, but your control of the zero degree is not enough. I am afraid that this aspect will be improved in a short time.
After all, the technical requirements are relatively strict, and all your weapons are manufactured through special means. Without the accumulation of an industrial system, there will be no qualified workers.
Let me think about what is most suitable for you or something like a missile. To be precise, it should be a cruise missile. Well... let me try to design a drone for you that can carry bombs on the drone. Put these drones
The man-machine is used as a one-time prop. In theory, it can fly to the other side and then carry out bombing. As for how to observe the situation on the other side, I will also find a way to solve it."
After receiving the request, Lan Nuo also began to transform and design. However, the design idea this time was different from that on earth. When designing such a drone on earth, they usually try to use electric power and then equip it with a
The camera can be remotely controlled or can independently identify targets and attack them.
But in fact, it is too difficult to produce such drones in this era. Not to mention the problems with remote control and cameras, it is difficult to develop qualified motors and batteries, and it is impossible to use lead.
Acid batteries to power drones?
However, Lanno's design ideas fully took into account the various fantasy characteristics of this world. The aircraft's power uses a power that sounds very fairy tale, that is, clockwork power.
This form of power is naturally impossible in reality. In reality, even if human smelting technology has reached a certain level, it is difficult to mass-produce metal with such good elasticity.
But there are strong metallic people in this world. In addition to softening the metal, they can also add other properties to the metal, such as hardening the metal, or making the metal sharp. This is what they can do, and the same
It is also possible to make metals more ductile and elastic.
In this way, the spring can be made very thin while ensuring sufficient power. A camera roll and such a large spring, with excellent design, can keep the propeller rotating for an hour.
This is enough to fly to the other side across dozens of kilometers.
With such a drone with a clockwork as its core, the rest of the things are easy to handle. The first is to lock the opponent's target. In this regard, thermal induction can be used, and combined with a certain judgment mechanism. If it is only thermal induction,
They are likely to be deceived by Hookfire, but after adding a judgment mechanism, it will be much easier to handle.
Let them attack targets with different heat levels and moving, so that they are difficult to be deceived by some fixed torches or bonfires. In this regard, strong people with fire attributes need to give certain operations. Their heat sensing capabilities are numerous.
The strongest among the extraordinary ones are the most suitable to undertake this difficult job.
This may require some training, but it is not too difficult. After Lieyan got the first batch of drones, he had people start experiments, and the results of the experiments proved that it can indeed lock on moving targets, and it is relatively accurate.
Adjust the flight trajectory and hit the target, making it impossible for invisible targets to escape the attack.
"This time, we need to accumulate as many drones as possible. We need to fire as fierce a firepower as possible at once. Completely collapse the opponent's defense, and then send troops across the river as quickly as possible to establish a presence on the other side.
Take up your own position."
Lieyan's talent in war is still very good. After only experiencing a few wars, he has become a very good commander and realizes the important role of firepower density and time accuracy on the battlefield.
Realizing how important the connection between attacks is, it is obvious that she was born to fight. It is not only the battle between individuals, but also the confrontation between armies.
While Lieyan was preparing for the attack, he was also supervising the production at a fast pace. This special clockwork drone can only be produced by strong metal people. After it is produced, it can be stored, but after about a week of storage, no one will be able to produce it.
The aircraft will lose its ability to fly long distances.
This is because the strengthening effect of the metal strongman on the spring has disappeared. The strength of the spring has returned to that of ordinary metal, and it cannot explode with such strong power. Therefore, a metal strongman is needed every week or so.
Give these drones a property enhancement so that their reserves can be maintained.
This is actually a major factor limiting the number of drones. If the attributes are not strengthened, the springs will be directly damaged after they restore the original characteristics of the metal, because the original characteristics of the metal cannot allow them to spiral like that.
It's multi-character and tight. After the enhanced attributes disappear, it loses more than just its powerful power. The structure itself is not strong enough to support it and will collapse directly.
The extraordinary power of those with strong metal properties is limited. The extraordinary power required to regularly maintain the clockwork of these drones is not much. But as the number of drones accumulated in the warehouse increases, this
The consumption caused by this kind of supplementation is also increasing. Soon, these metal strong men will not have to do anything else in a day, just to repair the clockwork of those drones.
Of course, if that level is achieved, the number of drones in reserve will be extremely large, reaching the level of tens of millions. At that time, if the drones are released at once and launch a large-scale bombing, the effect will be like
It's like locusts flying across the sky.
Even more terrifying than that, after all, they cover the sky and the sun when they fly across the sky. They are much larger than locusts, and in theory, they can even cover the day like night.
It is difficult for the Beishui Empire's defense line to withstand this kind of ferocious bombing, and they are still concentrating on building their own cold flood defense system and do not realize that when the ice and snow melt next spring, it will be their end.
.
The clockwork drones in the sky will fall towards them like overwhelming locusts, locking on everyone and launching an indiscriminate and brutal attack on them.
In fact, Lan Nuo didn't particularly want to design this kind of weapon. After all, its ultimate goal is to unify and strengthen the Five Elements of Light Continent. If there are too many casualties in the war, even if they are unified, their strength may not be greatly improved.
