Chapter 147 Improve equipment, upgrade cannons, and build infrastructure (Subscribe)

The development of the guild is just a casual move, and Su Xingyu himself is not sure whether it can grow stronger.

It would be best if it could grow and become more powerful and help the empire. If it fails, it doesn't matter. We can just consider it as exploring the way for the development of the empire.

But it doesn’t matter. He has enough resources, and if he fails, it will only be a loss of resources.

The empire can afford this loss.

These organizations play a very important role. After all, there are many technologies that are not convenient for the empire to research, so it is most appropriate to hand them over to these civilian organizations.

It’s not that the imperial officials are incapable. Even if some talents are separated, the official organizations still gather the most powerful talent team in the entire empire. If even they can’t solve the problem, other organizations will never be able to solve it.

The reason why the government does not conduct research on this is mainly due to the issue of input and output.

Take potions as an analogy. Some potions are difficult to make but have no effect for the time being. If you research them, the gain will outweigh the loss. If you don’t research them, you never know when you might need them.

At this time, it is very convenient to entrust it to a non-governmental organization.

It is even possible that they could develop it through their own research without the empire's commission.

If the research of the empire is a broad road, stable and with clear results, then these guild organizations are winding paths, rugged and with unclear results. Before reaching the end, no one knows what is there.

For a force, stability is the best option. After all, their size is too large. Any small fluctuation at the empire level is enough to have a earth-shaking impact, so they need to think twice before making a decision.

Guild organizations don't have this worry. No matter what they do, the worst that can happen is that the guild organizations will decline and disband, and the impact on the empire will be almost zero.

Therefore, some attempts that are inconvenient for the empire to make can be handed over to them to handle.

The empire can then focus its main energy on other directions.

Today, the Eternal Night Empire's main research efforts are focused on equipment and various props.

Even after absorbing the forging gift package of the Volcano Dynasty, the Eternal Night Empire's epic-level and above blacksmiths are still scarce, at least for the empire's huge elite army.

At the beginning, Su Xingyu still dreamed of equipping every sixth-level warrior with epic equipment. Looking back now, this was completely wishful thinking.

There are too many warriors who have reached the sixth level of extraordinary power in the Eternal Night Empire. It is impossible to arm them in a short period of time. Currently, only the generals are equipped with epic suits.

It is okay to use gold-level equipment before breaking through to the seventh level, or that is the normal situation.

Su Xingyu had no choice but to deal with this. Epic equipment could indeed be purchased from the outside world, but only in small quantities. If it was in large quantities, it would be impossible for anyone to supply it.

There is no way to equip all epic equipment, and some gold equipment is not good enough, so what should I do?

The solution Su Xingyu thought of was to transform and upgrade the gold-level weapons and equipment, improve their effectiveness, widen the gap with ordinary gold equipment, and narrow the gap with epic equipment.

This is not an easy task. Even for the Eternal Night Empire, it is unrealistic to complete it in a short period of time.

After all, if the effectiveness is improved, the forging difficulty will often increase as well.

Don't make it so difficult that it's more difficult than forging epic equipment. If that happens, it's better not to upgrade at all.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a balance. The effect of the modified and upgraded equipment should be stronger than that of ordinary gold-level equipment, but the forging difficulty should be within the capabilities of a gold-level blacksmith.

In addition to research equipment, there are also various props, the most important of which is the magic cannon.

As the empire's strength increased, the opponents it encountered became stronger and stronger. The epic magic cannon was no longer effective and could no longer maintain the overwhelming advantage it once had.

Therefore, it must be upgraded and upgraded into a legendary magic cannon. When the time comes, with one shot, even a seventh-level strongman will be reduced to ashes.

Of course, the premise is that you can hit the target.

With the keen perception and super high mobility of the seventh-level strongmen, it is impossible to hit them unless the firepower covers the entire area.

In order to form firepower coverage, at least hundreds of cannons are needed. The Eternal Night Empire currently has hundreds of epic magic cannons, but most of them are distributed to various cities and cannot be concentrated at all.

As for the legendary cannon, well... research on it just started a few years ago, so it depends on fate as to when the results will come out.

So let alone legendary firepower coverage, he can't even achieve epic level.

In addition to cannons, the Eternal Night Empire is also building dark magic towers.

This is a magic tower that combines attack, defense and enhancement.

The Dark Tower

Type: Special building

Level: Epic
Effect ① Energy Concentration Attack: Gather the power of darkness and fire a dark energy cannon
Effect ② Dark Barrier: Release the power of darkness, condense a dark barrier, and resist attacks from the front
Effect ③ Darkness is Coming: The Dark Mage enters the Dark Tower and merges with it for a short period of time, gaining energy boost during this period (Note: The minimum requirement for the magician is the sixth level of Transcendent, and it puts a lot of pressure on the body and will, so it cannot be merged for a long time)
The architectural drawings of this Dark Tower were obtained by Su Xingyu from the settlement treasure chest.

During this period, he got a lot of good things from the ranking settlement treasure chest.

He would keep the items that were useful to him and trade the items that were useless to him. After all, the members of Bloody Dawn were all top-ranked players. They could also open treasure chests, and their levels were not low.

There is nothing better than trading with them.

And if no one wants to trade it, then it is very simple, just keep it as a trading item for Libra.

Apart from being unable to move and consuming excessive energy, the Dark Tower has almost no disadvantages. It can attack, defend, and provide benefits. It is simply a weapon for defending a city.

With this dark tower, Su Xingyu no longer has to worry about the safety of the city.

Before this, the city’s defenses could be said to be weak, but that was all it was.

Except for some players of special races who can rely on racial characteristics to improve the defense of their cities, the defense of most players' cities is not very good, naturally including Su Xingyu.

Take the Eternal Night Empire for example, their cities could not withstand their own attacks. Even those weaker players could cause damage to these cities as long as they seized the opportunity.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers.

Everyone is busy improving their extraordinary status. Who has the time to improve the city’s defenses?

Unless the advancement of the extraordinary rank reaches a bottleneck, normal players will not strengthen the city’s defenses.

Because it's useless, your defense can't keep up with the improvement of others' attacks.

Destruction is much easier than construction.

Whether it is equipment modification and upgrading or the construction of special buildings, these are the responsibilities of a certain branch.

What is the entire Eternal Night Empire busy with recently?
The answer is infrastructure construction.

Building roads, houses, and colleges...

Now that you have money, you naturally want to improve the happiness of your family.

Moreover, building infrastructure, especially roads, not only facilitates people's travel, but also helps expand the territory.

After all, now that the road has been repaired, it will be easier for the imperial army to pass through.

In this way, the difficulty of deploying troops is reduced, and the empire's radiation range is also expanded.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the changes in the military.

As the warriors' extraordinary ranks increased, the types of troops gradually became more diverse.

In the past, the soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire's legions generally wore heavy armor and had defensive properties, with defense being their main focus.

But now it is different. Due to their different characteristics, there are all kinds of soldiers in the imperial army.

Defense, attack, reconnaissance, high-burst lethality, high-efficiency clearing, high-speed cavalry...all kinds of arms and corps make up the current imperial army, and the main focus is on comprehensiveness.

However, this also leads to a problem, which makes command more difficult.

Compared with the previous heavily armored army, today's army is obviously more difficult to command.

To put it simply, the previous warriors were all defensive soldiers, so they just had to push forward. Anyway, the opponent couldn't penetrate their defense, they were not afraid of death, and their tolerance rate was high enough.

It is different now. Although the defense of the army soldiers is also very strong, in horizontal comparison, it is obviously not as good as the defensive troops, and their survivability is not enough.

Their tolerance for error has decreased.

This means that if they are not commanded properly, they are likely to be severely damaged by their opponents in an instant.

Of course, this also means that as long as you seize the opportunity, you can also inflict severe damage to your opponent in an instant.

Therefore, this army has very high requirements on the commander's command ability.

Fortunately, the Eternal Night Empire now has such a powerful commander.

……

……

Space meeting.

Following the guidance of the Space Stone, everyone came to the old gods' domain again.

"Mr. Five, Mr. One..."

Cole, the Aboriginal youth number four, greeted everyone.

After many meetings, and with everyone being frank, he finally understood what kind of organization he had joined.

A gathering of gods.

The Organization of Gods.

Every member of this conference is a god, a great being with eternal life and control over the life and death of all things.

Even in the empire where he is now, there is no such great existence.

Several people nodded slightly in response.

Zhang Tao, the robed youth number two, asked curiously, "How high has your extraordinary rank been raised?"

"I'm at the peak of level six, but I'm stuck at level seven. I feel like it'll take a long time to break through." Cole replied quickly, looking somewhat distressed.

Through the space conference, Cole was able to grow up quickly, from an ordinary slum boy to a powerful man well-known in the local area.

After all, his talent was not bad, and people gave him small gifts from time to time. In addition, some cultivation information that was relatively secretive to ordinary people was also known to him, so it was normal for him to grow.

"not bad."

Zhang Tao nodded slightly and smiled. Among the few people, he had the most contact with Cole.

He was quite happy to see the other person grow up step by step.

"Number five, we have collected all the things you want, two eighth-level crystal cores and sixteen seventh-level crystal cores." Man number one, Tian Mo, looked at Su Xingyu and said lightly.

"Okay, what do you want to trade?" Su Xingyu nodded and asked.

"Bloodline potion, and... I remember you have a magic cannon, right?" Tian Mo suddenly asked.

"Well, it does."

Su Xingyu nodded and said, "But with what you have, I'm afraid you can't change many doors..."

As a special item that can be mass-produced, the value of the magic cannon can only be considered medium among items of the same level.

But even so, with what Tian Mo took out, he couldn't exchange much.

"I want a sixth-level one. Two-thirds of it can be exchanged for cannons, and one-third can be exchanged for bloodline potions. Is that okay?" Tian Mo thought for a moment and replied.

"Row."

Su Xingyu had no objection, as they were all renewable resources anyway, and then he discussed the transaction with Tian Mo.

"Do you still want the source of life?" Tian Mo asked again.

"What level?"

"Ten thousand units of the seventh stage, two thousand units of the eighth stage."

"I want them all." Su Xingyu looked at him seriously, a little curious.

Being able to take out an eighth-level life source is not easy! This means that the other party has at least a legendary plant in his hands.

After completing the transaction with No. 1, Su Xingyu looked at the silver-haired woman No. 3:
"I found the barracks blueprint you wanted."

"I found what you wanted."

The silver-haired woman replied in a flat tone.

To facilitate transactions, at the end of each meeting, everyone will inform others of their needs so that they can collect them.

If there is a quantity limit, the person will be directly designated to avoid collecting multiple items.

Before the last meeting ended, Su Xingyu and the silver-haired woman No. 3 designated an item to each other.

Su Xingyu completed the transaction with No. 3, and then the few of them conducted several transactions with each other.

The main trading partners are No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5. Although No. 4 has reached the sixth level, there is still a big gap between him and the others, and he can't produce any useful items for trading. As for No. 2, he can produce some eye-catching items from time to time, but the quantity is often not large.

This time, the space prop taken out by No. 2 was still divided between Su Xingyu and the silver-haired woman No. 3, half each.

As Zhang Tao’s strength increases, the space rings he can make become larger and larger.

一开始是1*1*1，现在已经达到20*20*20了。

Eight thousand cubic meters is already a very exaggerated number, which can transport a lot of materials.

Trading space rings was a very profitable deal for both of them.

Whether for your own use or for trading.

Others may have some concerns and dare not trade casually for fear of being targeted by others.

After all, props with spatial attributes are still very scarce items, and no one has been able to achieve large-scale production so far.

It would be interesting if someone came to you without any skills.

The two were not afraid at all, simply because they were strong enough.

With their strength, it’s good enough that they don’t rob others. As for others robbing them?

No matter how precious the space props are, they are not as valuable as your own life.

　I've been really unlucky recently. The small fan I bought a few days ago was broken, and the one I bought yesterday disappeared as soon as it arrived.
