t a recovered divine card."It's not that easy." The battleship moved forward slowly, powered by holy energy. The robed man stood at the bow, looking out to sea: "The first batch is a test. If they enc...The sword and the shield is a historical dilemma.

In the high-energy era, it was very easy to defend against long-range attacks.

The energy and materials required to pierce a heavily armored unit from a long distance would be far more expensive than the unit itself.

Just like the sword formations of ancient China were designed to counter lightly armored air units, using them to fight heavily armored units would be a waste of resources.

The Starfleet's fairy magic AoE attacks not only have short range, but also cannot directly inflict severe damage on armored capital ships.

Of course, the capability of long-range elimination of heavily armored targets is not nonexistent.

The highest-tier Scorpion Crossbow has once slain a Black Orc Warlord.

But that was formed under the condition of pure stellar crushing.

This aptly illustrates that long-range combat suppresses melee, making it a losing proposition.

Now, winter is coming.

The environment's ability to capture energy will reach unimaginable levels.

Of course, according to Chen Gui's theory, it doesn't mean that energy consumption for long-distance communication is reduced in harsh environments.

But close combat will also become more expensive in the future.

Even a grand sweep of the Giant's Tower would likely consume less energy than a bombardment by the Reverse Five Elements Technique.

When both sides have reached a similar level of depletion, ranged attacks can gain the upper hand with their range advantage and seize the initiative!

Chen Gui submitted a letter, insisting on military reform to allow the ten thousand tribes to advance and gain a technological advantage of 500-1000 years in long-range technology.

But it's easy to say that....

Winter will not weaken your nails.

It's even more difficult to penetrate existing high-energy units remotely.

Taking Lu Cheng's own long-range technology as an example, let's put aside the special case of 【The Master of Pipa Cave】.

He had no ranged weapons in his hands that could effectively deal with the 【Feather Guard Armor】 and 【Dragon Scale Armor】.

Even my own arrows cannot pierce my own shield.

But the Cybertronian defenders have quite a few heavily armored units to face...

It's not necessarily true that the essence of a superior being is thinner than dragon scales.

The king stag beetles in the neighboring insect colony are quite scary...

It's not difficult to deal with enemy units of the same tier in close combat (in the current meta). To penetrate their defenses from a distance, or to melt through top-tier heavy armor units with spells, you would need to pay at least three times the value otherwise it's simply impossible.

...to give three times the value....

This is a very risky move. If we start shifting our focus now, it will take hundreds of turns to develop the new technology. Of the 300,000 support units we plan to produce, only 100,000 might actually be functional by the end.

If winter is not as the usual schedule predicts, then these losses will be significant.

After all, in this day and age, a hundred thousand ranged mercenaries and three hundred thousand spearmen clashing... would be incredibly brutal.

But if this batch is successful, as Chen Gui said, long-range technology will gain hundreds of years of first-mover advantage, ranking alongside power systems as the world's best!

For this, Lu Cheng pondered for a long time.

Cheers!

The pacifier general of Han Yang, Chen Gui.

Take him to Hanyang and set up a separate testing ground for him...

And he himself needs to explain to the Kimeko why their agreed-upon fighting power has shrunk to one-third.

After all, 01 heard that Lisheng was willing to deploy 300,000 heavy armored mechanical units to Cybertron in order to fulfill the terms of the mutual defense treaty.

With her computing power, it crashed for 4.81 seconds.

Never have I seen such a powerful human kingdom before.

In other words, is this still the human world

.......

Land Cheng informed the executives of the decision made in the previous round.

Because of research reasons, the planned 300,000 HP old card is expected to become a new card with approximately 100,000 HP....

Star rating may remain unchanged.

Of course, with nothing decided yet, Lu Cheng couldn't possibly talk about replacing something near with something far away....

A semi-biological machine body can simulate a biological's emotions to over 70%.

01, upon hearing that Lu Cheng had stated the card's blood volume should be reduced to one hundred thousand, actually felt a sense of relief.

Because getting 300,000 mechanical units... seems a bit unreal.

According to mechanical clan production estimates, obtaining one asteroid, one water planet, and one gaseous planet would roughly support a mechanical factory operating for a century, producing about 500,000 contemporary basic mechanical troops. Then resources would be depleted.

Assuming human industry also possessed this level of production capacity, then 500,000 might be the upper limit.

His maximum production capacity is thirty to fifty million, but he's only willing to put out thirty million to fulfill the defense agreement...

One hundred thousand, this figure is probably more realistic. As long as the final one hundred thousand can reach Cybertron's defense line, it would be very, very powerful.

In fact, the industrial production capacity of the Lu Cheng card group is inferior to that of the Mechanical Clan. After all, biological civilizations have higher demands on the environment and living conditions during the production process compared to mechanical civilizations, consuming significantly more energy.

A machine can work day and night, non-stop. Can your body do the same

You want the artisans to mix mortar, that's no problem, but shouldn't there be some good wine and meat

You can ask the weavers of Penglai to spin thread, but you can't let them have gardens of fairy flowers and mountains where they can play with spirit beasts or explore mystical caves.

Morale and satisfaction are low, the deck is full of "Rebellion" cards, might as well not play this anymore.

If you can pull out thirty million, then half of it must be from the previous dynasty's savings....!

Lu Cheng saw that she actually had a relaxed expression.......

She had never believed she could come up with so much....

It's also fine to let her expect something a little lower.

After all, the possibility of failure for large-scale military reforms is not low.

.......

.......

Penglai, Dragon Palace, and the Han Yang Weapons Research Workshop are all fully operational.

If the military reform starting with Chen Gui is successful... then one hundred thousand new generation "Hanyang-made" machines can be deployed to Cybertron.

Monitor their performance within the Allied forces. If a shift in the wind is truly detected, immediately use the experimental data from the experiments conducted by Han Yang to revise the strategy, shifting the focus from top-down to bottom-up, radiating the impact all the way to the Qi Tian Hao and Xian Zhou level.

This is what is meant by first-mover advantage.......

This batch of Han Yang agency figurines still mainly adheres to the Qin Dynasty terracotta figurine construction.

The Qin Terracotta Army's construction has been refined over millennia, through wars such as the Thousand Years War, the Eastern Holy War, and the South China Sea War, and its reliability is evident even today.

Combat effectiveness is not the strongest, inferior to the later Tang Dynasty terracotta warriors' structure.

In terms of value for money, it is unparalleled.

Of course, using the Terracotta Army as a platform is not for economic considerations.

The main thing is that there are sharp soldiers among the Terracotta Warriors, a type of long-range model.... The other structures don't have this.

These organ soldiers, standing about 10 meters tall, are clad in heavy armor and equipped with gigantic scorpion-like ballistas. They were the main force in ancient warfare, but in modern warfare they are only used as support and to consume enemy resources, covering the formation of spearmen and swordsmen.

The time setting returns to the Song Dynasty.

Scorpion-crossbows are now being mounted on drones...... If used by regular troops, their armor-piercing capabilities would be worrying.

Chen Gui and others decided to develop a new tubular weapon system using Time Technology, which could be mounted on Army mechs for use in winter warfare.

This kind of weapon can be almost certainly identified as a psychic weapon.

But the current debate is that before the Southern Song Dynasty, Penglai Immortal Techniques prioritized water above all else.

Tidal wave, breaking wave, Nine Turns of the Yellow River.......

Therefore, the Penglai people first decided to experiment with compressing spiritual water, using a type of armor-piercing water gun as their target.

It's a shame... dozens of experiments have all failed.

With Chen Gui leading the way, people realized...

Dispelling the winter chill, one cannot be gentle like water.

Use fire!detectors.One-time.Make a resolute decision, at whatever cost, to accomplish this once and for all. Send the platform equipped with 【Kunlun】 into outer space. Even bringing back some extraterrestrial...
