Chapter 516: [Intermediate Civilization War Fortress], Building [Air Command Center] |
"Hey-yo~~ Hey-yo~~~"
With the goblins' chants, the upgrade of the Primary Civilization War Fortress was quite successful.
When everything came to an end.
The area of the Civilization War Fortress Square had already expanded by more than three times.
At the center of the fortress square, an 'equilateral triangle' formed by three transmission portals had appeared.
Each side was a transmission portal.
Within the 'triangle's' central area stood a mechanical metal instrument that looked like an antenna.
The defensive facilities around the square had also been upgraded simultaneously.
Laser detectors, biological scanners, laser turrets...
But what caught Yu Yuan's attention the most was a newly appeared command platform in the square.
The command platform stood five meters tall, isolated from the square by glass walls.
From here, one could look down and see every situation in the square below.
Beyond that, the command platform was equipped with a row of control consoles, clearly indicating that the fortress could be operated and monitored from here.
Yu Yuan checked the information for the [Intermediate Civilization War Fortress].
[Intermediate Civilization War Fortress]
Number of Transmission Portals: 3
Number of Anchored Transmission Worlds: 3/12
Civilization War Fortress Influence Range: 100 kilometers
Function: The Intermediate Civilization War Fortress is equipped with three Civilization Transmission Portals, capable of anchoring twelve world coordinates and constructing stable spatial transmission channels.
It can monitor transmission fluctuations from living beings/civilizations within 100 kilometers, and can lock/shift their transmission landing coordinates.
(Reminder: The transmission shift range must not exceed 100 kilometers.)
————————
Yu Yuan was extremely satisfied with the effects of the [Intermediate Civilization War Fortress].
Not only had the number of transmission portals increased, but the number of anchors per portal had also risen from the previous three to four.
The most pleasant surprise was the [Transmission Shift] function.
Before, when other players launched invasion wars, they would all be uniformly teleported to District 13 in the eastern district.
That was, near Yu Yuan's shelter.
Although Zhi Zhi's stealth concealment effect had blocked the shelter's coordinate guidance, the range was ultimately still within that area.
Rock Rank was fine, but he was about to advance to Bronze Rank soon.
Who knew whether Bronze Rank players had other methods to find the shelter's location?
This was currently the only shortcoming of the shelter.
[Transmission Shift] could be considered a way to make up for this shortcoming.
Thinking about the upcoming Bronze Rank advancement battle.
Yu Yuan revealed a mischievous smile.
Farlin came before Yu Yuan.
"My friend, I apologize, but even though I tried my best to save on materials for you, the construction cost still reached 45 million survival points. However, I did my utmost."
Seeing the look of guilt on Farlin's face.
Yu Yuan took a money pouch out of the Rabbit Ring.
Clatter clatter clatter—
Farlin's ears perked up instantly at the sound of coins clinking inside the money pouch.
Gold coins!
Gold coins of quite good purity!
There was no mistake!
Farlin was extremely confident in his judgment.
He looked at Yu Yuan in surprise.
"Farlin, I remember you liked these gifts a lot last time. I prepared this especially for you."
As Yu Yuan spoke, he stuffed the money pouch into Farlin's hands.
Farlin wanted to refuse, but the words of refusal simply wouldn't come out of his mouth.
It was as if two little people were fighting in his head.
Shame: No, Farlin, you can't accept Yu Yuan's gift, this isn't right. You haven't helped him that much.
Instinct: Take it! Farlin, aren't you friends? These are shiny gold coins! Do you hear that crisp sound? That's the most beautiful sound in the world.
After a fierce verbal battle.
'Instinct' defeated 'Shame'.
Instinct: Hmph~~ Goblins don't need shame, goblins can't let down a friend's goodwill!
In the end, Farlin could only grab the money pouch tightly with both hands and look at Yu Yuan with the most sincere gaze.
"Oh~ my friend..." Tears appeared at the corners of his eyes.
Yu Yuan's eyelids twitched.
That was way too exaggerated.
But this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"Farlin, I have another building here, but the construction materials are really too hard to find. Do you think your engineering team might be free..."
Before Yu Yuan could finish his words.
Farlin had already spoken up.
"Free, my friend, very free..."
At this moment, that sharp, distinctive goblin voice of Farlin's sounded pleasant to Yu Yuan's ears.
The two exchanged a knowing glance and revealed satisfied smiles at each other.
-
In the Dead Mine Town world.
In an area behind the military base.
A brand new base had appeared.
However, the equipment in this base wasn't armored vehicles, but aircraft.
Yu Yuan looked at the [Air Command Center], which only had a single runway, two hangars, one storage warehouse, an aviation fuel depot, and a command building.
He shook his head slightly.
He realized he had indeed been overthinking things.
He had thought that building this [Air Command Center] would give him aerial strike capabilities.
But he forgot that this building was ultimately just a Silver-tier building.
Even though it was a Silver-tier building found in Xiao Xi's treasure vault.
One that could rival a Rare Gold-tier building of the Rock Rank, it still couldn't fulfill his wishes.
There were only two trainer aircraft here, and they were used for training pilots.
——[Air Command Center]
Quality: Silver
Number of Aircraft: 2/5
Number of Instructors: 2/2
Buildable Aircraft: Primary Trainer Aircraft
Functions:
① Every 30 days, can train 10 primary pilots, granting them the ability to independently control aircraft.
② Every three days, instructors will pilot trainer aircraft to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance within 100 kilometers and generate reconnaissance reports on suspicious targets.
③ When an enemy long-range strike weapon locks onto our base, it can detect it immediately and issue an air defense alert.
——————
"Putting aside the rest, that last air defense alert function alone is enough to justify this building."
The reason Yu Yuan built the [Air Command Center] in Dead Mine Town.
On one hand, Green Forest City was currently unsuitable for constructing any buildings, especially ones like the [Air Command Center] that heavily relied on weather conditions.
Building it in Green Forest City would be a nightmare.
Another reason was that Yu Yuan hadn't forgotten that Dead Mine Town still had the [Dawn Consortium] as an enemy.
Their tactical nuclear missiles posed the greatest threat. Originally, he thought that once he had aerial strike capabilities, he could seize air superiority over this area.
But he hadn't expected that now he would, at most, only control aerial reconnaissance rights.
Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Yuan stopped dwelling on it.
"The value of aviation buildings is even higher than I imagined!"
"Oh well! I'll just train primary pilots for now. Taking it step by step isn't bad either."
Yu Yuan said to Quis beside him:
"Arrange for pilot selection! We can train ten pilots every month, so let's start building up our pilot reserves."
Quis still had some excitement on his face.
"No problem, Master, I'll go arrange it soon."
Quis left, and Farlin also came before Yu Yuan.
"My friend, we have to go back. The clansmen are tired!"
Yu Yuan took out another money pouch and handed it to Farlin.
"Of course, Farlin. You've done me a great favor. This is a small token of my appreciation."
This time, Farlin accepted the money pouch gracefully.
"You really are the most generous friend I've ever met. If you ever need my help again, remember to contact me."
"I wish you a swift climb to the peak of the Civilization Ladder."
"Goodbye!"
Watching the Goblin Engineering Team leave through the transmission portal.
Yu Yuan looked at the Virtual Panel.
Although the Goblin Engineering Team's construction was quite convenient, requiring only Survival Points to pay for instead of having to gather all those tedious construction materials.
It was really expensive though!
His current Survival Points balance was less than two million.
A sense of crisis surfaced in Yu Yuan's mind.
"Earn money, earn money! Advance to Bronze Rank."
