Chapter 584: Armored city wall improvement technology, paralyzing vine seeds

But soon, Zong Shen's brows widened.

"hehe…"

He smiled to himself.

In fact, the leak-picking operation was just a plan that he suddenly came up with.

If this plan succeeds, it will be the icing on the cake for the future development of the territory.

But it actually won't have any impact on the root cause at all.

Secondly, the general development progress of the lords lagged at least half a year behind Zong Shen.

This means that there is a development generation gap of 1:8 or even 1:10 between Zong Shen and ordinary lords.

The real time to pick up leaks has not yet come.

And his leak-picking plan can only have an effect on ordinary lords.

As for those lords who have obtained the tokens and have a higher development progress, even if they cannot figure out the purpose of the tokens for a while, they will not get rid of them easily.

Therefore, the best implementation stage of this plan is not now, but more than five months later, when the second batch of lords arrives.

There are only a few days left until the first month of advent.

After surviving the challenge month, the next territory should enter a period of rapid development.

At present, Zong Shen's final task is to continue to accumulate foundation for the development of the territory.

Including supplies, materials, population, talents, architectural drawings, etc. required for various types of construction.

These are the fuel for the continued development of the territory.

From the end of the challenge month to the arrival of the second batch of lords, whoever runs faster during this period will be able to go further in the future. It is a golden development period that is truly used to lay a solid foundation.

After figuring this out, Zong Shen no longer insisted on picking up the missing plan.

There are countless relics and various treasure houses in this continent, and even if you pick them up one by one, it would take 1800 years to pick them all.

There are always some adventures that belong to others.

He curled his lips and put the [World Speaker (Special)] back in the storage box.

The leak-picking plan has already taken shape in his mind, waiting for him to gradually complete it and start the plan at the most appropriate time!

Returning to the lord's fortress in low spirits.

Now all the items obtained from ten consecutive draws at the 5,000 point level and the 3,000 point level have been checked.

There are still 1000-point and 500-point ten draws left to check.

Among the items obtained from these two levels, there are many more items of blue quality and below.

So Zong Shen was going to screen it and check again.

There is no need to check those green, white, and gray items.

And things like food and drinks.

High-quality drinks and food can temporarily increase your own attributes.

For example, drinking a drink or eating a big meal before a fight will help improve combat effectiveness.

It may sound ridiculous to say this, but it is a real situation.

It's just that Zong Shen rarely uses this method to improve his combat attributes.

Thinking about eating meat and drinking wine in front of the enemy before a battle, the scene was somewhat embarrassing.

After sorting it out for a while, Zong Shen summarized all the items that needed to be checked for the remaining two points points.

In the 1000 point level, there are only five items worth checking out in ten consecutive draws.

There is no need to check items such as [bitter gray beans (grey)], [rotten black bread (grey)], rye beer, experience beads, and skill experience books.

[Ordinary experience beads (white)] is a prop that can directly gain experience.

It can only be used once, any citizen can use it, and can directly gain 500 experience points.

Not to mention the skill experience book. After using it, you can get skill experience and use it to upgrade a certain skill.

These commonplaces or items of low value are naturally not worth Zong Shen's effort to carefully examine.

As for the five items he summarized, he has already arranged them separately in the storage compartment.

Some of these items are not suitable for taking out directly from the Lord's Fortress.

After finishing sorting, the first thing he took out was a drawing-like item.

Such drawing items are very common.

Architectural drawings, manufacturing drawings, map rolls, and technical drawings basically all look like this

This drawing is a technical drawing.

The grade is very high, reaching the orange legendary level.

It's just right as an appetizer for winning ten consecutive draws in the 1,000 point tier.

He smoothed the drawing on the table and stared at the surface of the drawing with gleaming eyes. Detailed attribute information suddenly appeared on the side.

[Armored city wall improvement technology (orange)]

[Quality: Legendary]

[After learning, you can master the armored city wall improvement technology]

[Be able to carry out armor improvements on various types of city walls at all levels, including sentry towers, fortresses, city towers, etc.]

[Consume a certain amount of material resources to increase the solidity and double resistance of the city wall]

[First-level Armor Improvement: Additional consumption of iron × 20, copper Obtain an additional 500 points of solidity and 5 points of double resistance]

[Second-level armor improvement: It consumes an additional 50 iron, copper This section of the wall will gain an additional 1200 points of solidity and 12 points of double resistance]

[Level 3 Armor Improvement: Additional consumption of iron × 80, rough forged steel plate × 2, rough forged copper plate × 1, mithril × 5. It takes 20 minutes to build a wall of any level no more than ten meters long. Perform [Level 3 Armor Improvement] to gain an additional 2500 points of solidity and 25 points of double resistance for this section of the wall]

[Level 4 armor improvement: additional consumption of iron A section of wall of any level no longer than ten meters in length undergoes [Level 4 Armor Improvement], allowing the section of wall to gain an additional 5500 points of solidity and 55 points of double resistance]

[Level 5 armor improvement: additional consumption of iron × 200, precision forged steel plate × 5, reforged steel plate × 10, reforged copper plate × 5, mithril melted water × 10, precision forged alloy × 10, fine gold × 10, cost 80 In minutes of construction time, you can carry out [Level 5 Armor Improvement] for a section of wall of any level not exceeding ten meters in length, giving the section of wall an additional 12,500 points of solidity and 125 points of double resistance]

[Each section of wall can only take effect on one type of armor improvement technology at the same time. This effect is a permanent addition. After damage, materials and time can be consumed to repair it. High-level improvement technology can overwrite low-level improvement technology. The effects of armor improvement technology Cannot be superimposed]

[Armor improvements can be migrated, and the rules are the same as building migration]

(Armored city walls are indestructible, but if armor is improved for each section of the wall, a lot of additional resources will be consumed. Please flexibly select and arrange improvements from the first to fifth-level improvement technologies)

The effect of the armored city wall improvement technology is very impressive.

Five levels of improvements are available, with different materials required and improved defense effects.

Although high-end armor improvement technology is extremely effective, the resources required are equally terrifying.

If all the walls in the territory, including city walls and city towers to be built in the future, are to be renovated to a high level, then this additional resource consumption can almost build three more city towers and city walls of the same specifications.

Because armor modification requires metal minerals, the higher the level of improvement technology, the more precious the minerals required.

As a result, high-level armored city wall improvements can only be carried out in key areas.

As for the city towers and walls, even if the armor is improved, you can only choose low-level ones.

High gain is accompanied by high consumption, this is the characteristic of [Armor Improvement Technology (Orange)].

After Zong Shen checked it, he immediately chose to learn and master it.

He can never have too much of this kind of icing on the cake.

At that time, let Mariel first strengthen the lord's fortress based on the resource reserves in the territory. Anyway, armor improvements can be moved and repaired like buildings.

When the money is abundant, we can carry out high-level improvements to the towers of the lord's fortress.

The original low-level improvements can be moved to other walls.

If the territory's defensive arrow towers improve the lower limit of defense, then the armor improvement technology improves the territory's upper limit of defense.

In any case, the territory is a safe haven for him to settle down and deal with crises.

Its meaning is different from that of going on an expedition.

This is Zong Shen’s true foundation.

No matter how much resources you pour into your territory, it is worth it.

They are not horse bandits and cannot wander around forever.

Therefore, the defense of the territory has always played a very important role in Zong Shen's heart.

"That's great, then this next item..."

Zong Shen whispered to himself softly, which was a summary.

It was already around two o'clock in the morning. Not only did his spirit not become tired, but he became better. This may be because of the effect of [Vitality Totem], or it may be that checking these newly added items made him feel A particularly exciting reason.

The second item is not suitable for taking out for inspection.

Because of this thing…

It's a medium-sized sloop!

The length is about 24 meters, which is a length specification of 80 feet.

There is a tall mast in the middle, fourteen meters long.

It can carry some cargo and supplies, plus fifty or sixty crew members.

There are no weapons systems on the ship, and there are anchors and hinges on the deck.

At this time, the image of the sailboat in the storage compartment is that it has been shrunk many times.

[Medium-sized sloop (purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Sturdiness value: 2500]

[Armor value: 35]

[Magic Resistance: 30]

[Maximum load capacity: 15 tons]

[Maximum sailing speed: 12 knots]

[Maximum draft: 2.3 meters]

[Length: 24 meters]

[Width: 8 meters]

[Mast height: 14 meters]

[Durability: 1500]

[Skill: None]

(The sailing merchant ship does not have any weapon system or magic equipment. Due to its manufacturing skills, its quality has reached the rare level. After modification, its sailing potential can be improved)

Yes, this is a sailing ship, a serious sailing ship.

Unfortunately, there is no place for it to be used in the current territory.

But when Zong Shen explores the ocean in the future, it will come in handy.

At that time, it will have to be slightly modified to add some weapon systems and protective magic disks.

No matter what, it’s always right to keep it first.

Zong Shen withdrew his attention and waited until tomorrow to directly transfer the sailboat to the territory storage box.

The next item is also a big one.

Not suitable for direct removal.

He also immersed himself in the storage compartment to check.

[Generation IV Magic Cannon (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare defensive equipment]

[Range: 100 meters ~ 3500 meters]

[Explosion damage: 142~145]

[Explosion range: radius 30 meters]

[Launch interval: 20 seconds]

[Sturdiness value: 1500]

[Armor value: 25]

[Magic Resistance: 25]

[The bombardment will consume 150 points of mana]

[Requires gunner: 1]

[Magic energy: 040000]

[Skill: Quick reload LV5 (reduces the firing interval by five seconds, lasting 10 minutes, cooling time 4 hours)

Passive skill: Shotgun (for every 10 rounds of ordinary cannonballs fired, one magic cannonball can be fired, which splits into 10 sub-shells before landing. The explosion range of each sub-shell is six meters in radius, and the damage is 0.65 times the explosion harm)

Armor-piercing projectile (for every 15 rounds of ordinary artillery shells fired, a magic armor-piercing projectile can be fired. The explosion range is reduced to a radius of ten meters, which can cause an armor-breaking effect on enemies within the range and reduce the armor value by 20 points, lasting for 5 minutes)

Elevation mode (the gunner can enter the elevation mode and observe the battlefield from 100 meters to 3500 meters from a short-range bird's-eye view. The angle of view is small and large, and a certain amount of aiming prediction is required)]

[Note: Explosion damage does not distinguish between friend and foe]

(IV generation magic cannon, a powerful weapon for city defense. When properly arranged, it can effectively kill groups of enemies)

When Zong Shen saw the properties of this magic cannon, he immediately thought of the [Level 4 Magic Cannon Tower].

The properties of both are almost the same.

That is to say, the magic cannon, as a city defense instrument, fires different special shells and has different upper limits of magic energy reserves.

At the same time, the observation angles of elevation mode and gunner mode are also different.

Gunner mode is equivalent to a castrated version of God's perspective.

The observation point in the elevation mode is still at the same place, but it is equivalent to climbing to a high altitude for observation.

This is more powerful than the city defense crossbow.

Even if every attack requires consuming mana, it's still worth it.

Among the defensive equipment, crossbows, catapults, and rolling stones are all relatively traditional.

Magical energy equipment can be regarded as a new type of weapon for defending the city.

Zong Shen's previous battle fortresses and sentry towers could be equipped with magic cannons.

No matter what, this piece of defensive equipment can improve the defense level of the territory.

Now, after ten draws at the 1000-point level, there are still two items left.

One is rare grade and the other is excellent grade.

Zong Shen raised his hand and took out the rare item from the open space nearby.

This is a peculiar wooden stake doll, about 1.6 meters tall.

The wooden piles were also covered with armor and were engraved with dark red inscriptions.

Its function is also very interesting, and it may have unexpected effects during battle.

[Taunting Wooden Stake (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Sturdiness value: 7500]

[Armor value: 75]

[Magic Resistance: 75]

[Effect: Taunt (taunts nearby enemies within 10 meters, causing them to automatically shift their attack targets and attack wooden stakes. This effect will be affected by the target's toughness and cannot be effective on ghosts and undead souls. It will last Until the wooden pile is broken)]

(Fuck me from the front! Coward!)

I have to say, this is a very interesting gadget.

Can issue taunts to force the enemy to shift attack targets.

It can be used to attract and consume enemy attacks, and can also be used to protect the back row.

Put a [Taunting Stake] next to the relatively weak Master troops and Archer troops, and the effect will definitely be very powerful.

Even if an enemy breaks into the rear, they will be attracted by the wooden stakes.

At this time, the long-range troops can focus their fire to eliminate the enemies that rush to the rear.

That's why Zong Shen found this wooden stake interesting.

He reached out and put away the wooden pile with a flick of his hand.

He took out the last item.

This is a seed, about the size of a quail egg.

The shape is like a bean, with two cotyledons and a small bud poking out from the middle.

This is an excellent special plant seed.

The seeds of special plants I got last time were the ones I got while exploring the mines [Blood-eating Piranha Seeds (Purple)]

The three piranha trees are still in the north of the central area.

Mariel arranges for hands to water some cattle and sheep blood every day.

They can also draw nutrients from the land, which is easy to feed.

Zong Shen planned to transplant those piranha flowers outside the four gates of the lord's fortress.

It's good to use as internal defense.

He worked hard to defend his territory, but he didn't want to make it tight on the outside and loose on the inside for someone to sneak in quietly.

After all, they are rare special plants, and those blood-eating piranhas are somewhat famous.

As for the seed in his hand, it is also very practical.

[Paralyzing Vine Seed (Blue)]

[Excellent special plants]

[Plant it in the soil to grow paralysis vines]

[The life cycle of each paralyzed vine is thirty days, and it will produce seeds when it wilts]

[The number of seeds is 1 to 3]

[Paralysis vines grow extremely fast and can block the passage of enemies. There are thorns on the vines that can pierce the enemy's skin and cause a short-term paralysis effect, which can effectively block the passage of enemy mounted beasts and war horses]

(Special plants suitable for defense can be strengthened by watering them with Luna Spring. Pay attention to collecting the seeds during the withering period to gradually expand the planting scale, otherwise it will grow wantonly.

As long as it is planted in a suitable place, it can form a natural plant roadblock)

This seed is a good thing.

In terms of practical value alone, it is even stronger than the rare blood-devouring piranha.

Zong Shen plans to hand over this seed to senior agronomist Salome Linyu tomorrow.

Let him first put the seeds into the [Vine of Vitality Wooden Box (Purple)] and cultivate it for 24 hours, then water it with the Luna Spring and plant it on the outside of the territory.

See how this seed can be upgraded into a rare special plant.

If you can advance, it will be a huge gain.

After all, this vine can be cultivated and produce seeds, and it can randomly produce 1 to 3 seeds every time.

Regardless of the probability of producing many seeds, as long as you cultivate it carefully, you will sooner or later be able to have a large number of vine seeds.

At that time, Zong Shen can plant it wherever he wants!

This is the true value of vine seeds!
