Chapter 1148: Choice
The mechanical core is called by many names, the heart of the machine, the heart of the Titan, and the heart of creation. It is rumored that if the mechanical core is continuously improved in grade, then it will become a real Titan heart, of course, this is just a rumor, and it has not been confirmed, but the rarity and preciousness of this kind of thing is beyond doubt.
It's just that no one can do it to improve the grade as a whole, not even Li Yao, so he can only choose one of the functions to improve the quality of one-sided.
This is a multi-functional good thing, but in Li Yao's opinion, whether it is to improve the quality of mechanical life or increase the engineering level, it is very uneconomical.
Let's talk about the first-order mechanical heart, if it is improved as a whole, a large mechanical city will basically produce a first-order one in one to three years, but if you want to evolve to the second-order, then the same city will take ten to fifty years, and the second-order to third-order will take one hundred to three hundred years. To the fourth order, it will take thousands of years, and the fifth order will take 10,000 years.
This is a first-order high-level, as Li Yao knows, the griffon lord has been in this city for a while, and according to the descriptions of several legion leaders, the griffon lord has obtained a mechanical heart.
His army was also built up through the acquisition of various blueprints through the Machine Heart, and the second Machine Heart was said to be the Griffon Lord's limited strength.
So he plans to build a mechanical combat puppet of the pinnacle epic level, and then use the second-order mechanical heart to evolve into a legendary level in one fell swoop, so as to break through to the faction level.
Li Yao shook his head slightly, although this lord is a technical nerd, if he lets his plan continue, his chances of success are too great.
It's just that he has cut off his beard now, but Li Yao also has a little regret, a second-order mechanical heart and a first-order mechanical heart are completely two concepts.
This is something that can't be helped, he doesn't have time to spend so much time to let him slowly become the second order, he can only turn it into an arsenal first, and then find another way to raise the mechanical heart, and it is imperative to fuse the mechanical heart, and it must have an effect before the griffon lord comes.
Li Yao knew too well that these surrendered guys were very unreliable, maybe they wouldn't continue to follow the griffin lord, but it would be a problem for him to fight the griffin lord.
In addition, the insect swarm is crippled, even the griffon lord has suffered a heavy blow from the blackheart lord, and it is impossible to defend the city by himself, you know, the legions in the hands of the griffon lord are all elite.
Li Yao grabbed the heart of the machine and used it directly, and the heart of the machine shone with a ray of light and disappeared directly into the frame space.
Seeing that the fusion was really successful, Li Yao was relieved, the war space in his hand was too low-level, if he couldn't integrate into the structure space, then it would be a tragedy, and he had to be integrated. But now Li Yao is relieved.
Li Yao's heart moved, and he quickly flashed out of the secret room, and then arrived at the warehouse, in addition to grain, grass, armaments, and grain, there were more metal ingots, although they were just ordinary copper ingots and iron ingots, but they were enough for Li Yao.
Li Yao As the sappers were busy, Li Yao saw that the metal unit of copper in the core of the machine had reached 100,000, and most of the copper ingots in the warehouse had disappeared.
In a box in a corner of the structure space, the Eldra sappers each took out pieces of things that shone with rune light like a formation, which was the matrix module that Li Yao had prepared a long time ago.
Through this matrix module, various engineering production can be divided and refined.
At this stage, even if you get the Heart of Machines and have the qualifications and rights to make the corresponding troops, if you want to make it, you usually recruit mechanics to make it in the arsenal.
For example, to make an airplane, then it must be made by one person alone, otherwise it will definitely not match even if there is a corresponding standard, which causes the craftsman to do everything himself, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Of course, it is easy for a single craftsman to make something fine or glittering.
The advantage of the matrix is that there is a standardized production, each process has no fixed tasks, and then these same parts can be combined to complete the work, but the disadvantage is that there will be no high-quality and shining miracles. What quality is produced, what is produced.
But Li Yao didn't care, what the legion wanted was mass production, and as for the high-quality products, they could be freely played by those liberated mechanics and themselves.
With the integration of the matrix, the military factory continued to consume copper, and the military factory, which originally required 30,000 to build, took 50,000 to complete.
Of course, this is only the basic facilities, such as the equipment for smelting metal, forging metal, and making general parts, and it is up to Li Yao to decide how to choose and form a magic circle.
Li Yao not only applauded his temporary idea, but also the military factory was next to the conversion pool, and all kinds of waste residue and smoke could be converted into the conversion pool, which was both environmentally friendly and waste-efficient, which was perfect.
Then Li Yao looked at the mechanical arms that could be made in the first order, and as Li Yao expected, the mechanical chocobo and the mechanical leopard, the standard shotguns of various caliber types, and the war machine were mortars and the most rubbish trebuchets. And to build these things, you also need to build corresponding class buildings, each type of 10,000 units of copper ore, and the assembly line needs to consume half more, that is, 15,000.
Li Yao was speechless for a while, these garbage things can be bought casually without a mechanical heart, and the power and attributes are too ordinary.
Besides, he got so many Gatlings and planes, and then there were spare armaments from the Griffon City Armaments Depot, which were all elite, at least second- or third-order fine products, and he didn't need this garbage at all.
To Li Yao's delight, the Heart of Machines has a strengthening point. Just like the mother worm, he can increase the strength of his mechanical troops.
There are many options to strengthen, such as enhanced armor, sharp weapons, etc., Li Yao thought for a long time and finally chose an enhanced firepower.
Enhanced firepower, increased attack speed by 10% for melee units under the influence of the Heart of the Machine, 25% faster reload and 20% range for ranged units.
It can be said that it is a long-range reinforcement, which is also what Li Yao has thought deeply, whether it is an airplane, a Gatling, a musket, or a trebuchet artillery. Basically, they are all long-range, and in Li Yao's opinion, mechanical beasts are basically equivalent to meat shields, as long as the meat shield troops entangle each other, they will be successful, and they will be responsible for harvesting remotely.
A quarter-plus increase in the speed of reloading ammunition is already quite awesome, and the same artillery or gunner unit duel, these reload speeds can determine the outcome of the battle, not to mention that the range has also been increased by a fifth, which is very against the sky.
Next, Li Yao looked at the new choice brought by the production line, that is, the matrix, that is, the auxiliary flow class when Li Yao was looking forward to the low-level mechanical heart......
