Chapter 144: Choosing Weaponry
“There are mainly two things to discuss for the eting today!
“Firstly, I’d like to inform you of the decision that the Twin Dragon Mount fort will start a company on Earth and work with Su Mingcheng’s company to study the Black Mud and the Stone Milk. You’re free to offer your suggestions on this matter.
“Secondly, we need to discuss how we should deal with the Eagle n for the Ten-Species Competition quest!”
In the conference hall on the Twin Dragon Mount, Ji Ye spoke from the host’s seat.
On the fifth day after the second batch of players had spent a full month in the ga, a eting exclusively made of Chosen Ones was held in the Twin Dragon Mount fort!
On this day, everybody who was qualified to attend the eting was back online. Nobody was absent.
In fact, according to Ji Ye’s plan, they were actually the first batch of personnel who would be entitled to the profits from the cooperation with Su Mingcheng’s company.
“We’ll start a company on Earth?”
Most people seed surprised to hear what Ji Ye said.
“Su Mingcheng’s company? That’s a familiar na.”
So locals from Yang City rembered the company, and Elder Jiao, Elder ng, and other people who knew Su Nongying’s connection to the company glanced at her who was sitting next to Ji Ye.
“Well... This is about the terms of the cooperation. Theoretically speaking, everybody here is entitled to share the profits of the company!”
Then, Su Nongying told everybody the details of the partnership as well as the plan for the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s future developnt on Earth.
Most players were excited after hearing her out.
It was not just because of the pecuniary prospect, but also because the Twin Dragon Mount fort had started planning on Earth, and maybe so of them would grow into important celebrities on Earth soday!
But the discussion on the planning on Earth soon ca to an end, because it was only just a blueprint at this mont, and it could only be realized if the Twin Dragon Mount fort persisted here!
Therefore, everybody soon focused their attention on the Eagle n, who were the human beings’ only competitor at this mont.
“According to Chief Ruan, the Eagle n had no unusual action or mobilization in the past days. They only seed to be defending themselves on high alert!”
“Maybe it’s because they knew that their spy had been killed by Brother Ji,” said Su Nongying.
“Are the Eagle n concocting a sche?”
“I have the sa question. Considering how unrestrained the Eagle n are, they should’ve tried to kill so of us for revenge after knowing their Commander was killed by us, right?”
“That’s right. I saw on the forum that the Eagle n that other settlents ran into were both strong and brutal. I don’t think our Eagle n are reacting normally!”
Many people were confused about the Eagle n’s reaction.
“In fact, this is the right thing to do for the Eagle n!
“Firstly, in terms of the speed of the settlent’s advancent and the number of alien territories one occupies, we are faster and more than the Eagle n. After their spy died and we had grown vigilant, they might suffer a loss and lose the ability to compete with us if they broke into our territory recklessly!
“Secondly, they lost a great treasure after the failed sneak-in. Now, they have to worry that we might sneak into their territory. So, their reaction isn’t weird.”
Elder ng, however, stroked his beard and inferred what the Eagle n were thinking.
“Thirdly, the Eagle n are aggressive to other human settlents only because those settlents aren’t the Twin Dragon Mount fort!”
Ji Ye opened his mouth and added.
“In fact, we needn’t speculate what sche the Eagle n is concocting because it’s hard to guess what is in another civilization and species’ mind.
“We might as well focus our attention on the combat abilities of human beings and the Eagle n and consider how we can gain advantages in individual battles. We now have a bigger population. If we’re also stronger than them individually, it will be impossible for them to defeat us!”
It was obvious that those who logged offline had looked up information on the Eagle n on the forum.
Then, it was inevitable that they were more or less intimidated by the Eagle n who had won most encounters with human beings.
However, the Twin Dragon Mount didn’t have to fear the Eagle n at all!
Not only did the fort have dozens of Extraordinary soldiers, but it also had almost ten Commanders!
Besides, those Commanders were all above the rank of Excellent, not to ntion that Wu Song had successfully reached Extraordinary Rank-5 the previous day too.
When they had absolute advantages in strength, odds were slim for the Eagle n to win a battle with a sche.
Actually, Ji Ye was more worried about the possibility that the Eagle n would simply hide in their settlent, which would make it harder to finish them off.
While the quest of the Ten-Species Competition had been announced, judging from what happened to the first settlent’s quests, the quests on the Land of Inheritance weren’t compulsory.
If the Eagle n didn’t care about the quest and simply adopted a defensive strategy, the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s only choice would be to attack, and the case would be different if they had to break into the Eagle n’s territory.
“The golden light on each of the Eagle n is strongly protective, and their green light can significantly improve their speed and make arrows fly more than three hundred ters while maintaining their montum and precision.
“Besides, they must be in possession of a certain technology that can allow the regular Eagle n to make use of those extraordinary powers too!
“It’s safe to say that they have natural advantages to defend their settlent. Their advantages are even greater than the tal n’s!” said Ji Ye.
The second conclusion was drawn from Wu Xiong.
“Wu Xiong” was originally an Ordinary Rank-6 soldier. Even though he was possessed by the Commander Eagle Man, he shouldn’t have been able to use the golden light and the green light, which were the Eagle n’s exclusive skills, because they weren’t exactly soul skills.
The fact that he used those skills proved that the Eagle n had ways to let ordinary mbers make use of the Extraordinary power indirectly!
However, the earthlings also had ways to make ordinary people indirectly control Extraordinary power, and those ways were guns!
“Therefore, our most important task right now is to manufacture guns as quickly as possible.
“Also, based on our current intelligence, the guns against regular Eagle n need a destructive range of at least two hundred ters, and those against their Commons should be highly destructive and precise with a range of more than five hundred ters!”
“My suggestion is that we focus on rifles and put machine guns and pistols aside for now.
“The shooting range for pistols is too short and can’t kill the Eagle n, and the machine guns will consu too many bullets. The red gunpowder that we have is refined from the ores from the Sludge Monsters’ territory. It’s an Extraordinary resource, and its productivity isn’t high enough for machine guns yet.”
After receiving a hint from Ji Ye, Li Qing, who had been given the task to collect gun-making technologies before he got offline, began to speak.
“Also, I suggest we build special sniper rifles against the Extraordinary Eagle n. I’ve written so specifications on guns. You can tell which of them will be the best prototype.”
Li Qing took out a piece of paper where the paraters and performances of certain guns were written and gave it to everyone.
It was worth ntioning that a player who worked in a toilet paper factory had found a purpose for the green trees, which had the largest number in the Sludge Monsters’ territory. Those trees were particularly suitable to be toilet paper materials.
At the very least, the players at the Twin Dragon Mount fort didn’t have to worry about going to the toilets as those from other settlents did.
“AK47. Effective shooting range: 300m. It’s sturdy and has a low faulty rate. It can be used in various environnts, and it’s easy to make. Shortcomings: the high recoil and the lack of precision when fired consecutively...
“Barrett M82A1. Effective shooting range... It’s astonishingly powerful and penetrative. Shortcomings: Low shooting speed, and heaviness...
“M16, AWM sniper rifles...”
The information of more than ten guns was written on the paper that Li Qing took out!
“You’ve got the designs and the technical details for so many guns?”
Shang Yan’s eyes widened.
She wasn’t really surprised at Li Qing’s knowledge of the confidential information.
In fact, under the Confederate governnt’s Honor System, one could even get the technologies to build nuclear bombs if they had enough Honor.
So companies, to win the players’ favor, offered information on their products for free and even sent staff for personal guidance!
However, while it was one thing to gain access to the information, it was another thing to rember it and bring it back to the Land of Inheritance.
“Well, I synchronized so of my mory abilities with the Rare Honor before I logged off,” Li Qing nodded and said.
The Stone Milk in the Twin Dragon Mount fort could build up one’s mind. As a veteran scout, Li Qing had good mories in the first place, and after synchronizing these abilities, while he dare not say that he could rember everything he saw, he was confident of copying the designs after trying to morize them!
In fact, not just Li Qing, Elder Jiao, Elder ng, and the other people who were given specific tasks had also synchronized their mory abilities, which had been enhanced by the Stone Milk.
Since it would consu the providence of the settlent for them to log off, this could maximize the returns for each log-off they made.
Ji Ye was quite delighted about that. With everyone thinking about the future of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, how could the Eagle n defeat them?
“Okay, I’ll leave the guns to you and Elder Jiao,” Ji Ye looked at Li Qing and said.
“I’ll ask Tang Long and Ling Zhen to work with you. Just apply to Nongying if you need materials or parts that have to be transford through the Stones of Civilization. There’s no need to let know.
“Let’s try to manufacture guns before the final battle against the Eagle n!”
Li Qing’s main task when he was offline was to learn the structure of guns, whereas Elder Jiao was asked to learn about the machines that they could use to make guns.
Since the very beginning, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had never intended to build one or two Extraordinary guns manually. They aid to manufacture guns in bulks.
They were confident in doing so because “electricity”, an important prerequisite for industrialization, had partly been taken care of.
Actually, after conquering the tal n’s territory, the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s spoils included not just the tal materials.
The lake of Silver Liquid, which used to be the tal n’s settlent core, could generate electricity continuously. When so of the Silver Liquid was taken out, it could even be used as a power source, and when the electricity in them ran out, it could be recharged in the lake again!
“Also, because the tal n’s territory is very far away from the Eagle n’s, we can totally build a real workshop in the tal n’s territory and turn it into our industrial base.”
Elder Jiao’s face was filled with excitent. He seed to have turned into the hardworking young man he used to be.
