Chapter 122 Individual Artillery
Among these crazy iron dogs, only a few lucky ones can enter the alchemy ranch and get the opportunity to grow quickly.
The reason why this is so is because the alchemy ranch is too small, even if Emperor Shi Tian has tried his best, he can only let it accommodate two or three thousand crazy iron dogs, and no matter how much it can't fit.
But this amount is nothing compared to the endless production of crazy iron dogs.
So much so that a large number of crazy iron dog larvae could not be put into the alchemy ranch, and they could only be kept in a place where iron ore was stored.
Anyway, these guys can survive as long as they have iron ore to eat, and it's really easy to feed.
It is also worth mentioning that although Crazy Iron Dog is mass-produced by the Dragon Legend, their juveniles are not exactly the same, some are very strong, some are weaker, and some are more intelligent, anyway.
After all, it is necessary to select those best larvae and enter the alchemy farm to accelerate their development, and the rest can only grow slowly on their own, a process that may take up to three or five years.
As for the other use of these iron ores, it is natural to continue to smelt steel.
After Yaslian successfully built hundreds of pools of steel mana, there was enough surplus mana here to make steel, so she also began to build steel-making furnaces, and there were quite a few of them.
So, there's a very virtuous circle here. Mana Moss provides enough mana, and the mana pool gathers mana to refine steel, and then uses steel to build a mana pool to provide mana water.
As long as there are enough ores and mana moss, this cycle will continue, providing more mana water and steel.
Unlike the scene here, the territory of the Dragon Cannon Ji is much more deserted.
The first is that more than 2,000 goblin chefs are gone, and they all go to the New World.
Because it's more convenient to handle prey in the New World, there are no bacteria and no moisture, so there's no need to worry about spoilage at all.
Just cut the prey into pieces, smear it with a layer of salt, and find a place to dry it, and you are guaranteed to turn it into a qualified jerky in a few days.
It can't be helped, it's just that the moisture content in the air in the New World is too low, and the dried meat that usually takes a few months to marinate can be done in a few days here.
But after the jerky is formed, you can't stay here anymore because the scarcity of water will destroy the protein and nutrients in the meat.
If you leave it alone for a month, the jerky may weathered into powder. Therefore, it must be transferred to the cave world for preservation.
But in any case, it is much more convenient to handle prey here than outside, at least it does not have to be cooked and then dried.
In addition to these goblin cooks, the cavemen carpenters have also been transferred and turned back into farmers, tasked with growing magic moss.
Because the current Emperor Shi Tian no longer wants to, nor can he afford to expand the swamp territory on a large scale, all the newly produced cave people must become farmers and grow magic moss.
As a result, the number of troops cannot be increased, and naturally there is no way to attack everywhere.
The number of troops is limited, so the wooden ships on hand of Emperor Shi Tian are enough to use, and there is no need for so many carpenters to make them, as long as a few senior carpenters are left to be responsible for repair and maintenance. The remaining carpenters all turned farmers.
Even the troglobular armies are no longer responsible for large-scale hunting.
Their main task is to find fertile land.
This task is actually very simple, where there is fertile land, this is the place where aquatic plants are most lush, after finding the place, check if there is any poison, if there is no poison, you can notify the rear.
Then, in a few days, Emperor Shi Tian will arrive here with an earth mage and start transporting the soil here in the old way.
Of course, Emperor Shakti certainly didn't mind transporting some more water, so his portals were usually opened a little below the surface of the water.
So as soon as the portal opens, the water in the swamp is automatically poured in.
Next, the earth mages sent the fertile land, along with the plants on it, into the portal.
On the other side of the portal is a deliberately planned oversized planting area.
Not only are earth monks stationed for a long time, but even three earth element avengers are also arranged here.
The Earth Monks are responsible for spreading the fertile dirt and plants on the dust layer of the New World.
The Earth Avengers cast spells to mix and stir them, crushing all the plants inside and turning them into fertilizer in the process.
The dust layer of the new world is so thick and soft that you can wipe your knees with a single foot, and there is no way to grow anything.
But when mixed with fertile soil and water, they become more normal land, perfect for growing magic moss.
Therefore, after the Earth Elemental Avengers have mixed these things, the Earth Monks are responsible for spreading the mixed things to form a five-inch thick layer of soil, which is the so-called Magic Moss Growth Layer.
Here we can see the difference between the two methods, the earth element avenger, the spell cast is destructive, more than strong, but the skill is insufficient, there is no way to complete complex and precise operations, so it is only suitable for stirring the land and destroying plants.
The spells of the East, on the other hand, are finely controlled, but they are a little destructive enough to crush all the plants in them.
But when the two work together, they complement each other, making it easy to do a series of complex tasks.
With their cooperation, two or three hundred acres of land can be obtained here every day.
In a month, it is nearly 10,000 acres of land, which is not a small number.
Moreover, with the increase of earth mages, the speed of obtaining land will also increase, and it is believed that it will not be long before a large expanse of magical moss cultivation areas will appear here.
Of course, if you want to grow a living magic moss, you still have to have water.
Due to the large amount of demand, Yaslian had to stay here, and the pool of magic and the altar of the source were constantly being built.
So much so that Yaslian had to spend most of her time building, and even the production of the tentacle Ji was delayed.
Not only that, but in order to fill all the land with water, the number of cavemen who tended to the land had to be twice as large as elsewhere.
Under normal circumstances, a cave man can take care of at least ten acres of land, but here, a cave man can only take care of five acres of land, and he is so tired that he spends almost all of his time watering.
As a result, the number of cave farmers had to be increased, otherwise they would not be able to cope with the increasing amount of land.
However, the number of cave people produced is limited after all, and more farmers means fewer warriors, which means that the overall combat effectiveness is reduced.
But don't forget, the Celestial Academy is not a place to retire, the competition here is extremely fierce, and there are various official tests that will constantly spur you forward.
In this case, the combat effectiveness of the troops must not be stagnant, because it will not be long before it is an important siege test, this time it will be the most difficult battle, if the combat effectiveness is insufficient and the losses are heavy, Emperor Shi Tian is likely to take everything he has.
Especially when his father-in-law was eyeing him, Emperor Shi Tian was even more careful, he was sure that if someone else's difficulty was one, then its difficulty would definitely be ten!
Therefore, in this case, the combat effectiveness of the army must not only not be reduced, but must be increased tenfold, and only in this way can it be possible to overcome the difficulties set for him by his fathers-in-law.
However, the construction of the new world cannot be stopped, let alone slowed down, because this is the foundation of his foundation, and whether he can turn over and complete the incredible counterattack in the future almost depends on whether the new world can be built quickly.
Under these circumstances, Emperor Shi Tian, after some thought, finally decided to go all out to build a new world, and the issue of improving the combat effectiveness of the troops was also urgent, but this time he did not intend to win over the people by quantity, but wanted to improve the quality.
To be more precise, Emperor Shi Tian intends to increase the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, as long as the combat effectiveness of each soldier is increased tenfold, then the problem will be solved?
In fact, there is still a chance, because after all, Emperor Shi Tian came from the interstellar era, and he was an invincible commander, and his knowledge of war weapons far surpassed others.
So at this time, Emperor Shi Tian chose a weapon as the biggest trump card to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, and this weapon is a cannon!
Cannon, known as the god of war, from the moment he appeared in the world, he was the absolute protagonist of war, the absolute darling of all armies!
Not only in the era of firearms, but even in the interstellar age, energy cannons of various attributes are still the absolute main force in all wars, and there is no other weapon that can replace it!
Dragon Cannon Ji, the reason why she took this name is because she likes dragons and cannons, so the mecha is in the shape of a dragon, and all combat weapons are cannons, so she got the name Dragon Cannon Ji!
In terms of understanding of cannons, even Emperor Shi Tian and Barrage Ji are not as good as Dragon Cannon Ji.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian handed over the task of developing a new type of artillery to Long Pao Ji, and asked him to arm a qualified artillery unit before the academy's siege test.
After Long Cannon Ji took over the task, combined with the current production and manufacturing capacity, he locked on three kinds of artillery at the first time, namely mortars, bazookas, and rocket artillery.
Actually, there is a fourth type of field artillery, which can also be made with your current abilities. It's just that this kind of artillery is relatively large and inconvenient to carry, and with the poor strength of the cave people, it is difficult to control this kind of thing, so it was given up by the dragon cannon Ji at the first time.
The remaining three types of artillery are actually more suitable for the current situation, and they can all be called individual artillery, which can be called the most powerful killing weapon of the infantry, so it is difficult for Long Cannon Ji to choose.
The so-called individual artillery does not mean that one person can carry a cannon that runs around, but that without the help of any other machinery and camel beasts, as long as one person or several people can carry it everywhere and fight everywhere, it can become a single artillery.
The most famous of these is the mortar, which can be carried around by two or three people, and has a long range, three to five thousand meters, and a high accuracy, about one thousand meters, with an error of no more than five meters.
In addition, the mortar fire is very ferocious, and it can hit more than 20 shells in one minute, which is simply a big killer on the battlefield.
