Chapter 447: Ruins Survey
It is an unknown island that is dry and has little rain. The dark brown island is dominated by a large number of rocks. There is a large amount of yellowish green grass that is one finger high. On such an island that can almost be said to be devoid of life, only simple things grow. With some green plants and vines.
The hanging ecosystem that was supposed to be in half of the island was only left with a few tangled vines that were only as wide as a fingertip.
As for the hostile creatures that appear on ordinary sky islands, the scale of the creatures here cannot support those creatures that consume more energy... Only some cloud-dwelling creatures passing here will regard this unknown and food-poor sky island as their own. A place to stay.
In fact, this is the case. After the soldiers explored this empty island of about one square kilometer, they only dug out a few nests of cloud-dwelling creatures, and the only harvest was a hundred bird eggs.
The guarding soldiers exhaled a breath of cold air, forming a white smoke screen in the air.
It's winter, and the temperature at high altitudes is lower than at the ground, which is less affected by wind currents.
The soldiers saluted the arriving officers.
Ji Lin's eyes were focused on the soldiers who were clearing the passage on the ground. The soldiers had cleared away the fallen wood piled at the sealed entrance of the ruins, revealing black blocks carved with dark lines.
Unlike the half-damaged 눂 energy ruins Ji Lin had seen before, 놛 could clearly feel the extremely active energy flow within the ruins.
A working relic.
It means that there are a large number of undamaged technical equipment in the ruins. These retained technologies may not necessarily be able to be reverse-engineered, but they may be used by people like ordinary building facilities.
Not understanding the principles of firearms does not affect one's ability to pull the trigger.
The lack of the ability to develop weapons does not prevent some lords from directly obtaining ready-made weapons from the ruins and entering into battle.
Ji Lin also managed to survive his most difficult period in his previous life by discovering relics and weapons.
Only obtain resources. When occupying resource points, there will be hostile creatures that will hinder you.
Excavation and exploration of ruins will also encounter hostile units that pose a threat to the lord's troops. There may be dangerous creatures occupying the ruins, or there may be structural units that are still running in the ruins.
The excavation of each ruin requires a lot of effort. The first priority is to eliminate possible dangers...and then the internal facilities can be recovered.
The simple way is to rely on the monthly casualty quota of two thousand to push the ruins guards. In this way, it is best to deploy the outpost core to the scene.
In the past life, many lords were eager to realize the relics in their territory, but could not spare the troops. They would cooperate with their lower-level lords in this way... After completing the excavation of the relics, they would provide this low-level lord with a small amount of relic output.
The general method is to form an exploration team and continue trial and error. The advantage is that the resource consumption for the lord is low, but the progress is slow.
The efficient way is to deploy structural/mechanical units and start drilling directly, and recover every part of the ruins to the greatest extent without damaging resources.
The steam lance equipped by Jilin's steam corpsmen has been slightly improved, and it has become an excellent steam drilling machine... He didn't bring it, but he still had a few small individual steam drilling machines.
Steam drills can easily break through very solid-looking metal, allowing the military to take resource recovery efficiency to a new level.
But now that Fang Ai is here, he can obtain some technical and military support from the elves through the outpost core.
And...a red dragon that might be able to throw the entire ruin out given enough time.
If you are not too troublesome, you can let the territory trade resources to Fang Ai, and then provide supplies for yourself through the temporary portal opened by Fang Ai's outpost core.
Compared with the resource network composed of hundreds of lords in the Grand Alliance, the supply network composed of outpost cores... I only have three outpost cores available.
My own, Fang Ai's, and Li Yan's.
There are three sentinel cores in total.
Every sentinel core must be used in place.
The small alliance has higher combat efficiency and does not need to worry about the organizational problems caused by excessive members, but the resources it can use are still too few... Ji Lin can't trust it either.
Perhaps the driving engine of this ruin on the sky island is not fully functional yet, and there are still energy and central control systems supplying power to this mobile sky island.
This relic can move from its own airspace to the outside key in a short period of time.
Ji Lin shook his head and shook the thoughts out of his mind.
I still need to consider how to get the relics in front of me first.
So...what can this ruins do?
"Fang Ai, has your outpost core been deployed? I would like to borrow two 그 to explore the way... As for the red dragon..."
If one's own soldiers are killed in battle, they will need to go through a long transportation process to return to the war zone... And the Fang AI damage units with outpost cores can be recalled directly through the outpost cores.
Ji Lin regretted not bringing along the professional house hunting spider that opened the way. With these little things, he could save a lot of time in exploring the ruins.
놛 looked at the red dragon who was lying aside and staring curiously at the entrance to the black 녪. This guy's head was bigger than the ruins. If 돗 came, he would definitely cause irreversible damage to the ruins...
A considerable part of the rune transmission circuit is in the wall. Damage to the wall may break the 'wires' inside the wall.
If the ruins that are still in operation are damaged, you will lose money.
There is no technical accumulation so far. If you want to restore the damaged area of the ruins, you can only rely on the power of the system... Even if you rely on the system, you can't create so many floating objects in the void.
"Well, no problem!"
The lord of dragons and elves nodded vigorously, realizing that he should start working.
Her outpost core has been deployed. She originally planned to provide some food and water supplies to Ji Lin's troops-there is no supply on this sky island, so Fang Ai can only replenish some food for the fleet whose food reserves are running out.
This is also the main function of the outpost core, which can directly provide territory supplies to the army.
But after being destroyed, it will face a situation where it cannot exchange materials with the territory for a month...
During the month when the outpost core is charging, the lord can't even rely on the outpost core to revive his own troops.
While the benefits are huge, the risks are equally huge.
Now the resources of the territory are used to assist Ji Lin in developing this ruin.
With the outpost core providing human and conventional resources, it is the best time to excavate the ruins... Ji Lin will not risk damaging the core in the future to let Fang Ai and Li Yan take the outpost core out to excavate the ruins.
As for sending out an exploration team alone... considering the distance... it is already not very acceptable to him...
Fang Ai patted Ji Lin on the chest and said loudly.
She is not here to eat for free!
Ji Lin said okay, then it depends on your performance today.
Fang Ai said no problem, you can use the skills of the elves, and I guarantee that all the technical assets in the ruins will be taken out for you.
Li Yan, who was eating seafood produced in the territory in the distance, sneezed.
"My battle mages have a shield, and they can retreat unscathed unless it is very dangerous..."
