"Huh? What's the matter?" Ye Ming asked curiously after seeing Wu Xin rejecting his transaction request.
"No rush, before we discuss that matter, I would like to ask, how sure are you of building the city this time?" After organizing his words a little, Wu Xin asked without answering.
Although the order of 1 million crystal coins is enough to help Wu Xin survive the current economic crisis, Wu Xin's purpose of selling artillery to Ye Ming and the others is not just to make money. The most important thing is to help Ye Ming while solving his own economic crisis.
They built the city!
"Uh, how sure are you?" After hearing Wu Xin's question, Ye Mingming and both of them fell silent.
They have been thinking about this question Wu Xin asked over and over again these days.
For some reasons, they had to build a city at the place they chose. After deciding to build the city, Ye Ming immediately sent out scouts to find out the terrain and creature levels in this area.
The shape of the entire Dragon Valley, viewed from directly above, is like a gourd with two small horns on the bottom. The mouth of the gourd is where Wu Xin met Ye Ming and Jueshi Haodu. The upper part of the gourd is where those
After passing through the area where the earth dragons launched a collective attack, you will encounter a long and narrow passage. This place is very narrow and only allows a few earth dragon leaders to pass side by side. This is where the level 250 earth dragon leader and the level 300 earth dragon king stay.
This is it. Viewed from directly above, this passage is just at the small waist of the gourd. Through that long and narrow passage, you can enter the inner layer of Dragon Valley. The levels of the creatures here are generally above level 300. Occasionally, you will encounter a few 200-level creatures.
Multi-level creatures are also boss-level existences. In terms of strength, they are more difficult to deal with than ordinary level 300 creatures.
After entering the inner layer of Dragon Valley, the biological populations here begin to be distributed according to strength levels. The further inside, the higher the level. At the end, those sub-dragon creatures are basically at level 499. The reason why it is said to be level 499.
It's not level 500, because all level 500 creatures are gathered at the two small corners at the bottom of the gourd.
The so-called small horns refer to the terrain of the entire Dragon Valley. In fact, these two small horns are two canyons fifteen kilometers long. The canyon is about two kilometers wide, and there are a large number of level 500 sub-dragon species gathered in the canyon.
.And the place where Ye Ming built the city was one of the two canyons.
They are surrounded by level 500 creatures, and the only thing Ye Ming and the others can rely on is a city wall and the city defense weapons on the wall.
"Alas!!! Wu Xin, although we have only known each other for a short time, the impression you left on us is still very good. To be honest, we are not even 10% sure about building the city this time!!!" There was a long silence.
After that, Ye Ming sighed and said.
"Since we are not sure! Why should we forcibly build the city? Once the city construction fails, the completion order used to build the city will be shattered, and then even the only advantage will be gone!" Wu Xin asked with some doubts.
, although he vaguely guessed some of the reasons, without Ye Ming's confirmation, Wu Xin was not sure.
"Haha, why don't we know? This involves some things in reality. I can't tell you the specific reasons yet, but this city must be built no matter what, no matter how much it costs."
After listening to Wu Xin's words, Ye Ming said with a bitter smile.
After all, entering the game is a task assigned by the superiors. Although he is responsible for Alcatraz Island, when the superiors give orders, as a soldier, all he can choose is to obey.
After the superiors learned that he had obtained the order to build the city, they began to urge him to build the city as soon as possible. Originally, this was nothing, and it was normal for the superiors to be concerned about the progress of the task, but the fault lay with some scheming politicians. After learning that Ye Ming had obtained the order to build the city,
After the order, they were eager for quick success and in order to gain more power and gain more benefits, they tried their best to add a city construction period to Ye Ming. If Ye Ming could not build the city within the specified period, what would happen on Alcatraz Island?
, will be replaced by cronies of those officials.
Of course, Ye Ming was plotted by those intrigued politicians, but the family behind Ye Ming was not easy to mess with. After the Ye family and its related forces worked around it, those politicians also paid a certain price. That was during the construction of the city.
All expenses related to the construction of the city must be paid by them. No matter how much it is, as long as Ye Ming speaks up and has reasonable consumption vouchers to prove that it is not a matter of public funds consumption or personal enrichment, then it must be paid immediately without default.
If city construction is affected by funding issues, then all responsibility must be borne by those politicians.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Ye Ming had to build the city in advance. Of course, because all the expenses during the construction of the city were paid for, and the money spent was not the country's money, but the politicians who used their power to obtain it.
Black money. So Ye Ming didn’t hesitate to spend it!
Who told them to plot against themselves first? A moth like this that plunders people's wealth rarely gets the chance to kill them openly. Now they meet Ye Ming, so they won't show any mercy! What's one million crystal coins worth of medicines and equipment?
If it weren't for the fact that city defense weapons couldn't be purchased on Alcatraz, the amount of money needed to build the city would have been doubled dozens of times.
"Well, since it's inconvenient to say, I won't ask. Now let's talk about business! Didn't you just say that the city is less than 10% certain to be built? This data should refer to the only two city defense weapons: catapults and siege crossbows.
Under the circumstances!"
"Yes! You can't get artillery here, so if you rely solely on siege crossbows and catapults, the success rate of building a city is really only this."
"What if we add artillery???" Wu Xin asked.
"Artillery? Well, if you add artillery, and it's the best kind, the success rate will be 50%." After listening to Wu Xin's inquiry, Ye Meditation thought for a while and said.
"Fifty percent??? Including artillery, it's only 50%???" Wu Xin asked in disbelief.
"Yes, there are five types of artillery on the market currently, flat cannon, cannon, heavy cannon, chain cannon, and the best fortress cannon. The 50% certainty I just said refers to the best fortress cannon. If
If you switch to other artillery, the success rate will only be lower. After all, gunpowder weapons in the game have just started. Except for the fortress cannon, which is loaded in the back hall, the others are still in the old-fashioned front hall loading stage.
Artillery is not like artillery in reality, which has a range of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers. They have a slow rate of fire and a short range. With the strength of the creatures in Dragon Valley, the range of just a few kilometers cannot cause much damage, and besides
Except for the fortress cannon, the ammunition of other artillery is solid, and its power is not much stronger than that of a siege crossbow, and it must hit to cause damage to the enemy. Therefore, except for the fortress cannon, which has a 50% chance, other artillery batteries
Not even three percent." After organizing his words a little, Ye Ming replied.
"So that's it, um, I understand! Here, you take a look at this first, and we'll talk after reading it!" While speaking, Wu Xin handed the two forms to Ye Ming's hands.
These two forms were prepared by Wu Xin a few minutes ago and asked Ling to inform the Mei brothers. There are not many things written on the forms. They are some parameters of Wu Xin's existing artillery, ranging from flat cannon, cannon, heavy cannon, and chain cannon.
, common types of artillery such as fortress cannons, to ram water dragon cannons, improved ram water dragon cannons, all of these are available, except for the experimental artillery developed by combining artillery and magic crystal cannon technology, and even from dead space.
The magic crystal cannon obtained there is also in these two tables.
"This, this is..." Seeing the form handed over by Wu Xin, Ming Kuang and Ye Ming were stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the data parameters of the artillery. Looking at the various artillery and magic crystals recorded on the form
Regarding the parameters of the cannon, an idea came into Ye Ming's mind at the same time.
"This is a list of some city defense weapons I can get and their respective parameters. Let me know which ones you want, and I will find a way to get them for you! Don't worry, as long as they are in the table, except for the magic crystal cannon at the back
Apart from the quantity limit, I can help you get everything else!" Seeing the expressions on Ming Kuang and Ye Ming's faces, Wu Xin said first before they could ask questions.
"What!!! Can you get these artillery pieces? Is this true?" After listening to Wu Xin's words, Mingkuang and Page grabbed one of Wu Xin's shoulders and shook them.
"Well, stop! Stop! Stop... I'm about to be shaken to pieces by you!!!" After being shaken to the point of being dizzy, Wu Xin quickly shouted.
"Ahem, um, I'm a little excited!!!" After hearing Wu Xin's words, Ming Kuang said a little embarrassed.
"Can you really get artillery? This city construction matter is of great importance, and every step cannot be made wrong! Are you sure you are not joking?" After a moment of silence, Ye Ming said cautiously.
"Of course! Except for the last one, I can get as many of the things recorded on it as you want!" Seeing the two people looking so cautious, Wu Xin thought for a while and said.
"Okay! I'll read through these things first, and we'll talk about it later!" After saying that, Ye Ming stared at the form in his hand and began to check it.
Flat cannon: has a range of two kilometers, can fire two rounds per minute, and has very poor power. Price: 100 crystal coins. It has serious flaws: it is easy to explode.
Cannon: Range 2.5 kilometers, can fire 3 shells per minute, average power, price: 120 crystals.
Heavy Cannon: Range 3 kilometers, rate of fire 4 rounds per minute, high power, price: 150 crystal coins.
Chain gun: Range 3 kilometers, rate of fire 6 rounds per minute, power the same as heavy cannon, price: 180 crystal coins.
Fortress Cannon: Range 4 kilometers, rate of fire 6 rounds per minute, huge power, selling price: 300 crystal coins.
"Well! These are all found in coastal cities! The prices are the same! But these below..."
