Chapter 573 Close Combat (IV)

The Ring Island Alliance has a mining station on the surface.

They can't wait for the surface lord to build a mining station before investing people to mine and slowly provide resources to the lord on the sky island. They don't have limited demand for resources like standard mining.

Ji Lin needs to support three people, and the Ring Island Alliance needs to support hundreds of alliance members in its territory. Just thinking about how to balance the interests between them is enough for the management to lose their hair.

As for the people on the surface... The Ring Island Alliance is confident that they will not pose much threat to themselves.

They sent their own 140-meter-long airship to operate on the exposed ore veins on the surface.

"If it weren't for those damn Standard Mining, we would have developed the nearby Sky Island long ago!" said a lord who was accompanying the army: "Why would we have to travel so far to the Shadow Zone to mine surface resources?"

As a core member of the management of the Ring Island Alliance, Xu Yan listened to the complaints of the lord who was on duty and knew that this was a complaint.

The Ring Island Alliance is not qualified to fight a decisive battle with Standard Mining. The other party can tolerate its development of Pangu Sky Island because it is afraid of the large number of land-based blockades of the Ring Island Alliance, and its own delivery energy is limited.

A total war with no end has no meaning for both sides.

In the face of real interests, even blood feuds can shake hands and make peace, and Standard Mining and the Ring Island Alliance had some "small frictions" before.

This small friction has led to the current situation of demarcation and governance.

"Standard Mining..." Xu Yan looked up at the floating islands.

Standard Mining, they were once enemies, but now they are both enemies and friends.

Standard Mining, which has expanded rapidly in a corporate model, has absorbed a large number of sub-humans and signed employment agreements with these sub-human captains. With the help of these sub-humans, they can quickly make their footprints spread across every sky island.

They do not absorb lords into their management system, but instead give instructions to every lord who is willing to serve them in the form of tasks.

Even if the other party is a lord of the Ring Island Alliance, or a lord without his own identity.

Standard Mining even built a city of 50,000 people on a large sky island... Above that small city, there was a Permanent Fortress with a large number of cannons installed. Xu Yan saw it from a distance once and knew that this thing was not something that the current Ring Island Alliance could handle.

They were jealous of the economic value generated by a city of 50,000 people, but the Permanent Fortress floating next to the city could make everyone sit down and trade with the city in peace.

There was nothing that could not be discussed in the transaction.

The Ring Island Alliance could even purchase seamless steel pipes from the open market of Standard Mining, which could be slightly modified to produce rifle products. If they needed it, they could also directly purchase real single-shot rifles from Standard Mining.

Explosives are strategic materials. If the Ring Island Alliance wants to purchase them in large quantities, it must exchange them with rare resources produced by Pangu Sky Island.

Standard Mining is still interested in the various resources on Pangu Sky Island controlled by the Ring Island Alliance. Miss Elf is very envious of Pangu Sky Island, which is extremely rich in biological resources, but now there is no need to take such extreme measures to obtain resources.

The Ring Island Alliance’s specialty, Pangu Sky Island produces ‘biocatalysts’, which can be included in the trading list.

If there are no rare resources, the Ring Island Alliance can exchange industrial products with Standard Mining with its own technology.

This harmonious scene once made Xu Yan feel that the scene of the Ring Island Alliance being raided was his own feeling.

"Huh."

A bat as tall as a person landed on the shoulder of the silver-white mecha. It looked like a big bird on a human shoulder on the six-meter-high mecha.

Xu Yan controlled the arm of the mecha and touched the bat's head, and the latter made a hoarse cry of intimacy.

The mecha produced by the Ring Island Alliance has magic neural docking technology, which allows the driver to delay each action less than 0.1s, so that the driver does not need to endure the delay caused by the transmission mechanism of ordinary mecha.

I like to stay in the mecha and watch my own rock elements in the mine tirelessly mining the ore needed by the Ring Island Alliance.

A sense of security wrapped in steel.

Xu Yan

The Ring Island Alliance has successfully mastered the method of improving biological physique without damaging its life after a large number of "biocatalyst" tests, which gives them a barely usable biological auxiliary force.

The system's resurrection is not resurrection, but "reset".

It records your time sample and resets you to your original most normal body after each death. Prosthetics, enhancers, injections, even if they are blessed by demons, all the enhanced effects will disappear when resurrected.

They are reset.

Some special soldiers recognized by the system will maintain their own enhancement when resurrected, because the system pushes its own recorded samples forward to the time they exist as "special forces", and saves their previous samples so that these soldiers can return to their original state.

This batch of bats is the product of slight enhancement and adjustment.

The Ring Island Alliance believes that bats using ultrasound can adapt to more diverse battlefield environments than birds using vision, so they finally selected bats as their auxiliary combat units among various creatures.

Xu Yan likes birds more because birds allow him to touch their fur, instead of feeling like he is touching a big rat like now.

"But it seems that the Standard Mining people are developing their own armored vehicles..." Xu Yan thought.

I don't know how their armored vehicles compare to mine... In the previous battle with the Island Alliance, the mecha was penetrated by special steel core armor-piercing bullets at a distance of one thousand meters because the front armor was too weak.

Later, the inclined additional armor was urgently strengthened and installed. The technicians told us that theoretically, the front face of the Island Alliance mecha should not be penetrated by 20mm anti-armor rifles.

If you encounter a larger caliber weapon, you can pray that the opponent will not hit you.

(Hit! Penetrate! Defend!)

I didn't close the open hatch, let the sun shine on me, and enjoy the afternoon sunlight peacefully.

Well, it's still quiet on the surface, and there is no need to worry about fighting in the air.
