Chapter 351: Shocking Changes(1/2)
Although the Goddess of Liberty is very powerful, the energy weapons equipped on the warships of our guild are not beautiful. If many warships gather fire to attack a Goddess of Liberty, they can definitely be destroyed. So in our opinion, this is actually the end of the war, because as long as the last two Goddess of Liberty are solved, we can directly deal with the gods of the Liberty clan.
We had already thought about the subsequent action content. We quickly lined up all the warships to complete, and then all the warships began to gather energy together. The huge energy began to cause instability in the surrounding space even before the cannon was fired.
"The opponent is going to use his ultimate move and kill it in front of it." Seeing the torch in the hand of the Goddess of Liberty on the opposite side, I immediately ordered. The attack power of this torch is too high. Although the protective cover of the Esinger moving fortress can block such an attack, I cannot guarantee that the battleships above can also block such an attack, so for safety, it is better to kill the opponent before the enemy fires.
Just after my order was issued, all the warships immediately activated the weapon system at the same time, so that the beam of light crossed the space between the two sides, and then accurately hit the Goddess of Liberty standing in front.
The protective cover on this Goddess of Liberty opened instantly, but it was penetrated with just a flash. Dozens of flying warships plus the firepower of the Esinger's mobile fortress itself, such a powerful attack power can concentrate a target, even if the opponent's defense is city-level, it is impossible to withstand it.
After the protective cover was penetrated, the high-energy ray immediately hit the Goddess of Liberty behind, and then completely evaporated within 0:1 second. Then the Goddess of Liberty behind the Goddess of Liberty hiding in front was also hit. The beam of light directly melted the upper body of the Goddess of Liberty, leaving only two legs connected to a large section of melted metal and standing on the ground. As for the other parts, the shape was no longer visible.
Two Goddess of Liberty were almost instantly lost, and everyone on our side cheered excitedly. Although killing these two Goddess of Liberty is not a big deal. But as long as these two Goddess of Liberty are gone, our path to clearing the forces of the Liberty clan and the Rainbow Alliance is equivalent to being completely cleared, so everyone on our side is very excited.
The cheers over the fortress of Eisinger were still echoing, and the wreckage of the Statue of Liberty on the opposite position had not yet cooled down, but a bright spot surrounded by electric light suddenly appeared in the sky ahead. Then the highlight suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black hole. The edge of the huge black hole was a border made of a circle of shining electric arcs. The central part was pitch black and there was no way to see what it was inside, but we have seen this type of channel. We also knew that this was a teleportation channel. As for what it looked like, it was not clear.
Everyone on our side was attracted by the situation opposite, but because we didn't know why the black hole appeared and what was inside, we didn't know what preparations to do. However, just as we were still struggling with whether to do something, the black hole helped me make the decision.
Without any warning, countless beams of light of various colors suddenly shot out from the huge black hole in front of him, and then flew straight towards the aerial warships of our guild floating above the Eisinger's mobile fortress. The first aerial warship had just completed the attack on the Golem of Liberty, and the large beam cannon at the bow of the ship had not yet been folded. At this moment, a dazzling white beam shot into the inside of the cannon from the unsealed gun door. The doctor's sounded loudly, and a violent explosion occurred in the middle of the hull of the air warship. The shock wave generated by the explosion directly lifted a large area of outer armor of the air warship, and the rolling flames gushed out from the break of the explosion, and the air warship also lost its power and began to spin down.
We haven't reacted to the shock here yet, and more air warships were shot around. The bow armor of a large air warship was hit on the front, and the explosion instantly swallowed the entire bow. Fortunately, the air warships in this time were not surface ships, so the bow position did not require huge pressure, and therefore did not cause the entire bow to collapse, but the explosion still deformed the bow seriously.
The warship that was shot at the bow of the ship was pretty good. Immediately after a warship that had been shooting horizontally before, there was a warship that had not turned around yet, so three beams of light shells were hit on the side of the hull. Almost instantly, there were three large fire-breathing holes on the warship. Then the ship began to turn with thick smoke. Unfortunately, it was hit another shot before it turned completely. This time the hit produced a big explosion, and the inside of the warship suddenly began to spit outwards, and the entire ship began to sink. After falling for a short distance, it suddenly broke into two parts from the middle.
The attack continued, and beams of light were constantly shooting out from the black hole opposite, and our air fleet was caught off guard. Warships kept getting fired and then began to fall. Just when we were busy, there was finally a change in the black hole opposite.
A sharp, triangular metal object with obvious arc stretched out from the black hole. As more and more parts appeared, we soon discovered that this thing turned out to be the bow of a warship, and soon more bows appeared in the black hole, and new warships continued to appear in the black hole.
As the bow of the ship in the front stretched out from the black hole, we soon saw its first turret, and then the second turret installed in the front of the island, followed by the island and the rear part to appear in the space one after another. Soon we saw a complete warship.
"Air battleship?" When the people on our side saw the battleships coming out of the black hole, everyone was stunned.
Air warships have always been unique to our Frost Rose Alliance. Other guilds are not even air warships. Even aircraft are rare, let alone peak air warships of artificial aircraft. However, we have seen a large group of air warships, and the other party is attacking our air fleet, and they have already achieved an absolute advantage.
With the emergence of the first warship, more and more warships began to appear in front of us one after another, and more warships began to emerge from the black holes. They continued to fire at the air warships of our Frost Rose League while advancing. We were in a hurry to fight and had no idea at all. So many warships were sunk and killed as soon as we got up. Now there was almost thick smoke rolling over the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, which looked like the Aisinger Mobile Fortress was on fire. But in fact, it was not the smoke emitted by the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, but the smoke emitted by the injured aisle warship.
The air warships on our side were in a mess. However, the air warships on the opposite side were volleys there in an orderly manner. The warships among them began to disperse around the black hole after they drove out the black hole. It was obvious that they wanted to protect the black hole, and more and more flying armors were constantly appearing in the black hole. Judging from this posture, the number of warships on the other side was definitely very terrifying.
Looking at the air warships that were constantly appearing above our heads. Many people on our side were shocked, and I was one of them, but I soon recovered. I quickly started the vision adjustment to enlarge the target warship, and then we easily found a curved colorful logo on the other side's warship.
"Rainbow Alliance?" After seeing the familiar sign, I immediately understood.
Not long ago, I just received the news from Ziyue, saying that Usina injected a trillion dollars into the game. This money was basically handed over to the Rainbow Alliance, and more than 980 billion dollars of the funds had been spent. According to Ziyue's intelligence, the money was used to purchase the fleet.
At that time, I was still wondering what to buy a fleet at the Rainbow Alliance. But now I understand that what they bought was not surface ships, but air warships.
When I heard that the Rainbow Alliance bought a fleet, the first thing I thought of was the fleet on the water. Because there was no player force except our Frost Rose Alliance that had air warships, which led to us not thinking in this direction at all. Now that we thought about it, we should have been trapped in a misunderstanding at the beginning. Usina was not a fool, how could she buy some warships that were completely useless? Besides, that was nearly one trillion US dollars! In the end, only more than one billion US dollars were left, and the rest were all turned into warships, which was already quite amazing. But now when I think about it, everything was understood. Usina's behavior was not only not surprising, but was very smart.
Although we don’t know how much Usina’s price for this batch of warships is, I can definitely be quite a lot. After all, that’s close to one trillion US dollars! So much money can be considered a big sum for a country. It would be strange if you can’t buy a few warships with so much money.
Of course, although Eusina must have bought a lot of air warships, I can calculate it, with a lot of numbers, but not a lot of them.
Our Frost Rose Alliance itself is the first guild to have air warships, and we are the only guild that has the ability to build air warships by ourselves. Because of this, we must have a much deeper understanding of air warships than other guilds.
Our guild had built a large number of ordinary surface ships before building air warships. At that time, the cost of these warships was not cheap at all. Because the game was not as powerful as the telegraphs in reality, although there were aircraft carriers, they were not powerful, so the battleships were the ones who dominated the naval battles in the game.
Among these battleships that are building larger and larger, the super battleships of our Frost Rose Alliance have always been the existence that guilds of various countries look forward to. The battleships of more than 100,000 tons are so huge that they are almost floating sea towns.
The construction prices of these super battleships are high and low, but the highest cost of the most recent ship we are currently building is 1.37 billion crystal coins.
This price is quite exaggerated. Compared with ordinary guild warships, this price can already be used to build a fleet. However, our battleship does have the ability to crush someone a fleet. Therefore, this kind of super battleship is still quite cost-effective.
However, this one is not the price we purchase, but the cost price.
The warships of our guild are built by themselves, among which the steel source comes from the steel jungle in the steel city. The price of metal is completely calculated based on our internal mining costs. If we buy outside, the price of this 100,000 tons of steel alone will be scary.
In addition to this steel, other materials for these super battleships are basically derived from various mining areas of the guild. All of these ores are calculated only for mining costs, so the prices are actually very low. As for transportation costs, this is not calculated because it is calculated separately.
In addition, all the technologies used on the warships are provided by our guild's technical department. These technologies are not obtained for free, but are developed by us for money. Our guild has special research funds for this research and development cost. So it is still not calculated in the cost of the warships. In addition, there is also the labor cost for construction. Because NPC workers are purchased, they are equivalent to slaves, and they invest at one time, and then they can just take care of the meal. Players are all engineers and other personnel. They get their wages, but
There are not many people, so we can't spend a lot of money. However, that's it. One of our warships is still as expensive as 1.37 billion crystal coins, which shows the price. If another guild comes to buy our warships, let's not talk about whether we sell them or not. Even if we are willing to sell them, the price of this thing will definitely not be lower than six or seven times the price we built. After all, this is arms, not cabbage in the vegetable market. If the price of selling arms is seven or eight times, you are embarrassed to tell people that you are selling arms.
If calculated at this price, other guilds will need at least one billion crystal coins to obtain a super battleship. This is still a surface ship.
The tonnage of air warships is not that large, but the volume is much larger than that of surface ships. Because the maneuverability and energy consumption in the air must be considered, it is impossible to hang heavy armor like surface ships. The shell materials used by flying warships are mostly lightweight materials, and the hardness and defense will inevitably decrease as a result of a significant reduction in weight. Therefore, the shells of air warships cannot be as exaggerated as surface ships. However, air warships also require defense, so air warships generally use another method - energy shield.
The energy shield only needs a shield generator and energy to start. The defense power depends on the power of the shield generator rather than the volume, so the self-weight increase of the warship is very small, but the defense ability is very strong. Of course, the energy shield must consume very exaggerated energy, after all, it is something that needs to fly, and the energy consumption vectors of air warships are very exaggerated.
Although replacing heavy armor with a shield generator can reduce its weight, in order to maximize combat effectiveness, the flying warship generally does not have small size, because the lift device of an air warship, commonly known as anti-gravity engine, has a large self-weight, and as the power of this thing increases, its volume does not increase significantly. According to this situation, a phenomenon will occur in the air warship, that is, the remaining power of a small air warship is often very small, because its own power just forces it to weigh itself a little, so it cannot bring much. But on the other hand, because the volume and weight of the power system of a large air warship will not increase in proportion, it has more surplus power than a small air warship. Therefore, a large air warship can be equipped with a large amount of arms, while a small air warship often cannot bring much things.
In view of this situation, the size of the air warships is usually not particularly small because it is not cost-effective. Therefore, according to this situation, although those air warships have reduced the weight of the armored part, in fact, these air warships often have big guys of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons.
Based on this situation, it is estimated that a warship has hundreds of thousands of tons, and its internal floating equipment, energy shield generators, and a series of flight auxiliary equipment, which are much more complex and expensive than the armor and control systems of surface ships. Therefore, the price of air warships is definitely much more expensive than surface ships.
According to the calculations of the Frost Rose Alliance's own construction of air warships, the cost of a 10,000-ton air warship is about 50,000 to 600 million crystal coins. And like surface ships, this is the internal price, all of which are cost prices, and a lot of R&D expenses have been removed. Therefore, if it is sold to the outside world, the price of this air warship should be at least 4 billion crystal coins per ship. This is still related to the account, and the internal price will definitely be more expensive if it is external.
There is a setting in "Zero", that is, if you spend money to buy things you can't get, the price will be particularly expensive.
To put it simply, our Frost Rose Alliance can build various types of warships, so if we go to the NPC shipyard to buy warships, we can not only buy high-end warships that other guilds cannot buy, but also have much cheaper prices than others. In fact, we will buy the same warships with guilds. In fact, it is almost the same as 80% of the cost. However, if we buy them like the Northern Alliance, it actually requires 90% of the cost, because they can only build ordinary warships themselves and cannot build high-end warships. So they can only be a little cheaper. And if it is a guild that does not even have a shipyard to order the same warship, then the purchase price is likely to be about 120% of the price. If it is replaced by individual players to buy it, the price will increase.
This is a balanced measure in the game system, which is an encouragement to the player guild's own development of its own power and technical strength.
These air warships in the Rainbow Alliance were all bought. They themselves did not have the technology to build air warships. So, as I said before, their purchase price would definitely not be the normal price, because their behavior was equivalent to using a large amount of funds to force the comparison of strength, which would affect the balance of the game. However, because the amount of funds itself is also a kind of strength, the system will not eliminate this situation, and only set a level limit and weaken the effect of this situation.
This limitation is the origin of this strategy of price increase and discount.
The price of the batch of air warships purchased by the Rainbow Alliance is definitely more than a percentage, which means that their prices are definitely very expensive. According to what I just calculated, the price of an air warship worth tens of thousands of tons should be one of the 4 billion crystal coins. If calculated based on the proportion of the purchase price increase of the Rainbow Alliance, the price they may need to buy a such warship is close to 5 billion crystal coins.
If calculated based on this situation, one trillion US dollars can be exchanged for more than 330 billion crystal coins. If all of this money is bought, you can only buy dozens of them. Of course, because the Rainbow Alliance is unlikely to buy all such large air warships, the actual number is definitely more than this number. After all, the price of small boats is definitely much cheaper. However, the number of ships in a fleet must be proportional, so the number of the opponent's large warships and small warships can be roughly calculated.
According to my rough calculations, the total number of air warships purchased by the Rainbow Alliance this time should be close to or more than 700, of which the number of large air warships above 10,000 tons should be between a dozen and thirty, and the rest should be small and medium-sized warships.
However, don't think that small and medium-sized air warships are very small.
I have said before that the materials used in flight warships are lightweight, so if the tonnage is the same, the external size of the air warships is often much larger than that of the surface ships. So even those small and medium-sized warships have a certain size.
More than 700 air warships launched an attack together, and the power of this can naturally be imagined. The best proof of our air warships above the Aisinger mobile fortress that were constantly fired and crashed is the best proof, and look at the current situation. If more than 700 warships of the other side came, the flying warships of our Frost Rose Alliance might not be able to fight others.
"Your sister! Are Yousina crazy?" Seeing the air warships constantly appearing on the opposite side, I was a little confused about what to do.
I am really confused about the current situation because I am now being forced into a dead end.
The place we are now is above the headquarters city of the King of Sea Palace, which means that this is a place where we cannot retreat. Once we leave our current location, the headquarters of the King of Sea Palace will surely be done immediately. Even the air warships in the sky do not need to participate in the attack. As long as the combat power of the Rainbow Alliance comes, the city of the King of Sea Palace can be flattened.
Now the Neptune Palace and the Rainbow Alliance are carrying out guerrilla strategies, so although it seems that the two sides are having a lot of fun fighting across the country, in fact, there is always only one base, that is, our Aisinger Mobile Fortress protects the headquarters of the Neptune Palace.
The reason why the people in the Sea King's Palace did not occupy those wild resource points or control several cities was all the ideas given to them by our Frost Rose Alliance's think tank. Because at the beginning, the strength of the Sea King's Palace was not as strong as that of the Rainbow Alliance. After all, the Holy Spear Alliance finally turned to the Rainbow Alliance in order to fight for a while, which made the Rainbow Alliance far surpass the overall strength of the Sea King's Palace.
It is precisely because the strength of the Sea King Hall is not as strong as the Rainbow Alliance, so the advice given by our think tank is not to go against the Rainbow Alliance, but to use mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare to get the opponent. Under this guiding ideology, the teams of the Sea King Hall attack a place and run away after grabbing it, and do not defend at all. Although they will occupy it after capturing a certain place, after occupying it, all the attackers will leave together. As long as there are people from the Rainbow Alliance, they can immediately occupy it again, because there is no one in the Sea King Hall to defend it.
The biggest advantage of this method is that the initiative on the battlefield is always on the side of the Neptune Hall. Because there is no other place to be attacked except for the main city we used the Eisinger mobile fortress to protect. Those troops are always in the movement, and unless they happen to hit, they will not be able to find the target. On the other hand, the Rainbow Alliance controls a large area of land and cities. The Neptune Hall will fight wherever they want. The initiative on the battlefield is completely in their hands. They can come whatever they want.
This tactic is definitely a tactic that can make the enemy angry and vomit blood. When Mao Taizu used this trick to destroy both the Japanese devils and Chiang Kai-shek, the terrorists used this trick to play the Americans. Therefore, this tactic is definitely the best tactic to defeat the strong with the weak.
However, the most critical point in implementing this tactic is that there must be a base. At that time, Taizu had a revolutionary base, and because of the mass base, both the Japanese and Chiang Kai-shek had no choice. The bases of the terrorists were the training camps in the mountains. Due to terrain problems, Americans could not enter the technical weapons, so they could not use their advantages in technical weapons to suppress these terrorists.
The current base of the King of Sea Palace is this city, and once the base is over, the guerrilla warfare will be basically over. The Red Army did not have a base during the Long March, but was transferring the base, so they won in the end. However, the King of Sea Palace is indeed just such a base. Once it is over, it will lose all the money, because the system will determine that the headquarters of the King of Sea Palace will be destroyed, and then it is limited to the King of Sea Palace that must re-establish the guild headquarters in any city within twelve hours.
It is not difficult to establish a headquarters, but the problem is that you can’t even stand it here. How should you guard it when you go to another place to build it?
So, once the city is finished, the Sea King's Palace will be finished.
Since our Frost Rose Alliance has received the order from the King of Sea Palace, and this city is directly related to the future of the King of Sea Palace, we must defend this city no matter what. If this city is really done, the credibility of our Frost Rose Alliance will probably be done together, because we were defeated on the front battlefield, which caused heavy losses to our customers, and even the guild was forced to disband and be annexed by others. This loss is too serious for us and for the King of Sea Palace.
However, although I am very clear about this, can I not withdraw from the current situation?
Hundreds of air warships from the Rainbow Alliance are gathering through portals. Now more than 200 have emerged, and 700 will arrive soon. These air warships took advantage of the sudden attack and caught our guild's air fleet off guard. Now the guild's air warships have lost more than half of them, and the rest are covered with scars. The fool also knows that they are definitely not the opponent of the other party.
We don’t care if the air warships are all sold out. Anyway, they are all experimental models. It’s just a better version for our modification after actual inspection. However, although we can ignore the warships, what about the Aisinger mobile fortress?
The opponent will definitely not evacuate after sinking all our air warships. Their next target must be the Aisinger Mobile Fortress. Yes, Aisinger Mobile Fortress has the best defense ability in the world, but no matter how good the defense ability is, it cannot withstand the group fight! We have seen the firepower of these air warships before. Even if they can withstand it for a while, it is inevitable that they will continue to hold on. As long as Usina is willing to fight with us to the end, sinking Aisinger Mobile Fortress is an inevitable thing, and I can even roughly estimate it. If these air warships really fight with Aisinger Mobile Fortress, when Aisinger Mobile Fortress sinks in the end, at least half of these Rainbow Alliance air warships will be left.
Moreover, there is a serious problem here. That is, once the Eisinger Mobile Fortress is sunk, it means that we have lost the support point in the United States, which means that our Frost Rose Alliance will be forced to completely evacuate the United States, and this battle is equivalent to a complete failure. Moreover, as the failed party, we will lose the opportunity to recycle Eisinger Mobile Fortress, because we are the defeated party, our people will be killed by the other party, and the fall of Eisinger Mobile Fortress will become an enemy-occupied area. In this way, we either watch the other party occupy Eisinger Mobile Fortress and repair it. Although I don’t think they have repaired well, it can at least be used as a city fixed there. After all, Eisinger Mobile Fortress itself is a city, and even if it cannot be flown, it is still a city.
Of course, we can also choose to blow it up so that the Azinger Mobile Fortress will not be used by the other party. However, we have invested so much to help the Azinger Mobile Fortress participate in the American Civil War this time. Do we still need to put the Azinger Mobile Fortress in?
Everyone knows the value of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress. It is not cost-effective to put the Aisinger Mobile Fortress in this battle, and it is definitely a rhythm of losing money.
By the same token, we have lost the possibility of recycling the Aisinger Mobile Fortress. As the victorious party, the Rainbow Alliance can recover their sunken air warships. Even the aerial warships of our guild. Even if all of these aerial warships cannot be repaired, it should be possible to repair some of them. In other words, the final actual loss of the other party may not be even half. This is definitely something we cannot accept. It is a shame to throw away the Aisinger Mobile Fortress. If we ask the other party to repair those aerial warships, will our Frost Rose Alliance be shameless?
We really can't bear such a foreign aid war, so we can't do it. At least we can't let Aisinger move the fortress in the United States. Even with my prestige, the people in the guild wouldn't say anything about me, but I can't pass this myself.
"Husband, I heard that there are a large number of American air warships on your side?" Rose's voice suddenly appeared in the communication channel.
Wake up by the sound of roses, I immediately replied: "Well, our air warships have been sunk by half. The Rainbow Alliance has bought at least six or seven hundred air warships, and it seems that they have all come to us. If we don't retreat now, Eisinger's mobile fortress may be defeated, but if we give up here..."
"Then give up." Rose's answer was unusually straightforward.
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this suddenly, then stared at my eyes with a little surprise for two seconds before asking, "Are you sure?"
Rose said with certainty: "We cannot afford the fall of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, and this time is different from before. Although the Aisinger Mobile Fortress was shot down before, we won the battle. In the end, the Aisinger Mobile Fortress was still under our control. After repairing, it was still the Aisinger Mobile Fortress and can still serve our Frost Rose Alliance. But I don't think I need to analyze the situation this time? If the fall of the Aisinger Mobile Fortress, we can only explode it. Are you willing to do it?"
"Okay!" I am not the kind of indecisive person, otherwise the Frost Rose Alliance would not be able to open. "If we give up, it means that the Neptune Palace will lose hope of victory in this civil war, and even the Neptune Palace will be forced to disintegrate. How do we explain to them?"
"You go and talk to Terry, as long as he agrees to terminate the contract, you can get any price."
"Terminal contract?" I was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Rose wanted to maintain the authority of our guild.
"Okay, I understand." I said and cut off the communication, then notified Christina and the others to help the remaining fleet intercept the air warships of the Rainbow Alliance, and then I went directly from the Esinger's mobile fortress to go down to the King's Hall below.
"Are you leaving?" When I found Terry, he was sitting alone in the office. After seeing me in, he spoke directly, but before I could answer, he said in a low voice: "Yes! You also want face! Things have developed like this. You have no reason to die with me, right?"
I originally planned to explain to Terry, but now how do you think I will speak?
After a few seconds of silence, I suddenly looked at Terry and said, "I know we are sorry for you this time. I really didn't expect such an accident to happen. That... I don't know something, do you know or not."
To be continued...
