Data Wasteland - chapter 949 Upgrade
When he woke up the next morning, Chen Xing didn’t do anything, so he went to Linghai to check.
Who knows if I don’t know, I was shocked at first glance. There are tens of thousands of goblin corpses floating on the sea. All the witch doctors came out, standing on the beach, holding their hands up and muttering words, overwhelming the dead goblin companions.
Every once in a while, dozens of floating corpses turned into light spots and disappeared invisible.
Chen Xing’s consciousness communicated with the goblin witch doctor, only to realize that it was the tragedy caused by the upgrade of the factory yesterday.
The deeper reason is the problem of resource allocation.
In order to provide energy and production materials for factories, a large number of trees on the island have been cut down, and minerals have also been exploited frantically, which has caused the field to transfer more energy to resource output.
Originally, the Devil’s Pot, the Black Pottery Monocle, and a dozen other naring pseudo-artifacts provided for an army of 100,000 goblins. Because the factory was upgraded and the original balance was broken, half of the energy was transferred away, unable to support the huge goblin army.
Therefore, a large number of goblin workers were hungry and overworked to death in the workshop, while the outside goblin fighters competed with each other because of lack of food, and finally evolved into similar fights.
Overnight, the goblin army was reduced by half, from 100,000 to 50,000.
But this is not a bad thing, you know, the life of cannon fodder is the least valuable thing.
The massive downsizing in exchange for a comprehensive upgrade of equipment.
Goblin warriors equipped with clubs or rusty kitchen knives are now wearing copper vests. The rusty kitchen knives have become sharp ones, and the sticks have been replaced with high-voltage electric batons.
The Goblin Spearman has been upgraded to a Musketeer, using the second-generation flintlock musketeer with magical energy. The design is much more advanced than the first-generation yesterday. First, the reliability is higher, and the probability of blasting is controlled. About 0.5%, the second is that the gun body draws a rune loop, and the power of gunpowder is even greater with the participation of psychic energy.
The goblin gunner’s circus cannon was upgraded to a smoothbore artillery, capable of firing solid lead bullets, with a tremendous increase in power, making it a modern firearm from a performance tool.
The most terrifying increase in strength is undoubtedly the goblin warrior. Compared with other goblins, their bodies are much stronger. In addition to the Mitsubishi thorn dagger, they are also equipped with a large revolver with six bullets inside, which can shoot powerful burst bullets.
Because of its strong recoil, only the strongest warrior among the goblins can use it.
The goblin precision shooter using a slingshot is replaced with a clockwork-powered mechanical assassination crossbow, which can kill people silently and invisibly.
The entire Goblin Legion can be described as a shotgun change, but there are also some units that have less upgrades, such as Steam Tanks, Batriders, and Goblin Fighters.
There are roughly three reasons for small or no improvement.
The first is that there is room for improvement, but there are not enough resources. For example, the steam tank can be upgraded, but the resources are not enough to upgrade.
The second type has room for improvement but lacks technical support. For example, the goblin fighter uses the flying internal combustion engine of the second industrial revolution. The technology of the first industrial revolution cannot be modified at all.
And the third type is that there is no room for improvement, such as Batrider and Goblin Blast. They have little room for improvement and can only increase the power of kerosene or gunpowder.
Steam tanks are due to insufficient resources, while fighters are due to technical reasons. The technology of the steam age does not include the technology of flying internal combustion engines, so it cannot be improved.
But in any case, this improvement is already huge, almost completely reborn.
It was noon in a blink of an eye. After several hours of trekking, Chen Xing came to the hinterland of Hongyan Volcano.
Since there is no satellite signal here, the global coordinate positioning system cannot be used, so only the approximate area can be judged.
Looking up, there are only patches of volcanic ash coniferous forests, with no distinctive features. The similar scenery further increases the difficulty of searching.
“Roar!”
The volcanic ash under his feet suddenly loosened, and more than a dozen living dead came out. A handful of golden revolvers congealed in Chen Xing’s hand, one shot at a time, and all of them fell down in the blink of an eye.
Compared with other existing firearms, this golden revolver has several enhanced rune circuits, which makes it very easy to use.
Chen Xing only knows the structure of firearms, but he does not draw rune circuits, so the firearms he presents naturally do not have this function.
Looking at the corpses of the living dead under his feet, Chen Xinggang wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something, he started hunting the living dead everywhere, and then asked the goblins to haul the corpses and pile them together.
Under Chen Xing’s powerful efficiency, within half an hour, the corpses had piled up into a small mountain.
Among the coniferous forests, corpses smelled everywhere.
Chen Xing found a shelter from the wind and waited quietly. About more than an hour later, there was a small movement in the woods.
Chen Xing immediately rushed into the woods and saw a little thing retracting into the soil. When he arrived, there was only a hole in the ground.
“Little guy, can’t you smell me?”
Chen Xing piled up corpses in order to attract nearby termite workers with the smell of food, so as to contact the nesting queen.
As he expected, there was a joyous chirping sound from the dirt hole, and a calf-sized termite worker ants came out and rubbed their heads under his feet to show intimacy.
Immediately afterwards, the termite worker ants passed the news of the owner’s arrival to the nest-splitting queen through the spiritual network of the abyss ant colony.
The half-human and half-worm Queen ant quickly broke out of the ground and turned her huge belly in front of Chen Xing, expressing surrender and joy.
Soon, Su Na got news from the sisters, and she started to change her shadow, exchanged positions with the nest-splitting queen, and appeared in front of Chen Xing.
“Brother, um, elder brother, you finally came to see Suna!”
“Suna wants you to die!”
With her big chubby belly, the girl leaped forward with rain, and hugged Chen Xing’s neck tightly.
“Brother, Suna misses you so much!”
“If you don’t come back, Suna’s heart will be broken.”
The emerald eyes were red from crying, and they were very touching.
“Go, let’s talk about it when we go home.”
After a dazzling light, Suna turned into a giant queen ant. After a year of absence, she has grown bigger again. In the queen form, it is like a warship traveling on land. Chen Xing scanned it with a black watch, and roughly estimated the weight to be more than 3,000 tons.
Seeing this data, Chen Xing couldn’t help feeling a little frightened. It’s just the growth period now, and the size of the adult is not known how big it is.
If it grows longer, it can be 10,000 tons, 100,000 tons, 1 million tons, or even higher. You know, Ju Kun is already big enough, and it hasn’t been awarded the title of “Star Devourer”.
The star-eater queen, that is the existence of the planet-devouring planet, one can imagine the size.
Su Na, in the form of a queen ant, swallowed Chen Xing into her abdomen, and once again launched a transformation and returned to the incubation room underground in Lanhua Town.
Long time no reunion, of course, we will have a deep-fried meal and stewed pork belly…
Shortly after the two left, when the nest-splitting queen returned to the ground, a group of people appeared near the pile of corpses.
“Man-made traces!” The rhino rider stepped forward to check the pile of corpses and immediately made a judgment.
“He must be nearby!” The gardener searched left and right, looking for traces.
“The target disappeared!” Blind Hunter looked incredulous, “Obviously I have locked him in, but just a few minutes ago, suddenly disappeared!”
“Impossible!” Everyone was shocked, and soon some people guessed, “Does he also have the ability to open up spatial paths?”
“There is no such thing in intelligence.” Drill said calmly, “Except for the guardian of the world, only me and my twin brother have this ability.”
“Then how do you explain, how did a big living person disappear out of thin air?” asked the drill.
Blind Hunt shook his head, “I don’t know, but my void perception tells me that he has indeed disappeared.”
“Didi!”
When everyone was suspicious and frowning, an information warning sound suddenly sounded on the rhino rider’s body.
Everyone condensed at the same time, looking at the rhino rider. The latter looked at each other a few times, and slowly raised his hand to activate the black watch.
A line of small red characters appeared, which was exactly a set of coordinates.
With incomparable doubts, the Rhino Rider entered the coordinates into the world map on the black table. The coordinates show that it is in the northern wilderness land thousands of miles away, near Lanhua Town.
“That mysterious man again!”
“He shouldn’t lie to us!”
“go!”
The earth core drilling rig started again.
About two hours later, the earth core drilling machine broke ground outside Lanhua Town.
“There are too many residents here, I can’t target it!”
“Then use the method last time and kill him until he comes out!”
“Here is his territory, his leaders, I’m not afraid he won’t come out!”
Chen Xing never expected that the satellite station specially applied for to operate the Zombie Paradise became the culprit for betraying his position.
But this time the situation is completely different.
Because this is his home court!
Just after everyone arrived, not far from the geocentric drilling rig, a small amount of soil was slightly loosened, and two tiny tentacles protruded.
The news of the discovery of the intruder quickly reached Su Na through the psychic network. Then from the latter’s gasp, it reached Chen Xing’s ears.
A few kilometers away, a small rocket quietly lifted off.
Ten minutes later, the tactical satellite was deployed in orbit, monitoring every move of the intruder.
“Okay, dare to chase here…”
“There is a way to heaven, you don’t go, there is no way to hell, you break in!”
