Chapter 151 Just how big is this planet? (4K)

Li Ye carefully examined the data of the destroyer.

【Item Name: Flight Type III Destroyer】

[Level: Level 3]

【附带效果：1.燃油消耗减少20% 2.伤害+15% 3.使来自于2级及2级以下武器伤害减少70%】

[Weapons Loaded:]

SM-2 anti-aircraft missile

Tomahawk cruise missile

Triple-mounted MK32 torpedo tubes

M61A1/A2 "Vulcan" Close-In Weapon System

Li Ye was quite surprised by this.

He never expected that a Tier 3 ship could be equipped with missiles.

He then began to examine the various parameters of the destroyer in detail.

When fully loaded, it has a displacement of approximately 9800 tons.

It is 155 meters long and 20 meters wide.

The power system is a 10-horsepower gas turbine, with a speed of 31 knots (57 km/h) and a maximum range of 4400 nautical miles.

Seeing Li Ye nodding repeatedly as he looked around, the seller knew he had a chance.

"I'll make a move as long as you offer a reasonable price."

After a moment's thought, Li Ye gave his offer.

18 crystal coins.

After all, the Tier 3 aerial vehicle he had previously purchased, the Vanguard Armed Gunship, only cost 17 crystals.

In some ways, destroyers are less practical than gunships. They can only be deployed at sea, while gunships can operate across both land and sea.

"This is a Tier 3 destroyer," the seller reminded him reluctantly. "With it, your naval power will be elevated to a whole new level."

“That’s true,” Li Ye said, shrugging. “But my financial resources are also limited.”

He knew very well that these destroyers were actually not easy to sell.

Ordinary mobile cities can't come up with tens of thousands of crystal coins all at once; only city alliances have that kind of financial strength.

And it must be a city alliance that intends to develop in the direction of the ocean.

After some haggling, the two parties agreed on a price of 19 crystal coins.

Li Ye breathed a silent sigh of relief.

For the Tomorrow Alliance, which plans to set sail, this destroyer is a must-have.

His target price is around 21 to 22 crystal coins.

These Tier 3 destroyers, like Tier 3 gunships, are difficult to maintain.

Its fuel requirement starts at level 2, and missiles, torpedoes, and bullets can only be replenished with level 2 iron ore and level 2 gunpowder.

After the funds were delivered, both parties began working together to move the destroyer onto the deck.

The Level 2 mobile city is 375 meters long and 240 meters wide, large enough to accommodate a destroyer.

It just takes up too much space on the deck and is too conspicuous.

The crew of Tomorrow were stunned when they saw their lord had bought such a huge thing.

A crowd of people flocked to the destroyer to take a look, their eyes filled with fervor.

Feeling completely satisfied, Li Ye couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Simply buying them isn't enough; he also needs to assign crew members to the destroyers.

These crew members need to undergo systematic training in the city simulation training cabin—for which Liye needs to purchase professional driving books for destroyers.

Immediately afterwards, he silently counted the crystal coins in his hand.

The purchase of the Titan's Grip device cost 16, the purchase of the destroyer cost 19, and with the 1 crystals allocated to the city's neighborhood committee, the total cost reached 36.

And his acquisitions have only just begun.

Li Ye went to the resource teleportation device and made an inquiry.

Including the 15% energy consumed at the start of teleportation,

The teleportation device for the Titan's Grip requires a total of 30% of the energy.

The total energy required to transport the destroyer is a full 75%.

Li Ye couldn't help but gasp.

He then simply teleported the Titan's Grip device and attached a note to it detailing its function.

He had originally planned to have his colleagues speed up the extraction of the natural gas field and transport the gas over as soon as possible. But he soon realized something.

As a world-class organization, the Apocalypse Cult possesses both underground mobile cities and aerial mobile cities.

If we can reach an agreement with Bishop Hiss to have him send these mobile cities across the plateau region to the gas field where the Tomorrow Alliance is located, we can transport natural gas.

After surveying and confirming the reserves of the natural gas field, Li Ye was able to sign a contract with Bishop Heath and receive an advance payment.

This has two advantages.

First, by paying in advance, Li Ye can obtain a large amount of crystal coins. This will make it easier for him to purchase a large amount of supplies in the next two days.

Secondly, the Engineers wouldn't need to rush to extract natural gas from the field within two days. They could slow down, and the Apocalypse Church's mobile city could transport the natural gas back.

After figuring all this out, Li Ye boarded the Black Hawk helicopter and flew towards the Saint.

After learning of Li Ye's purpose, Bishop Heath pondered for a moment and nodded.

“We have deployed an aerial mobile city in the southern waters of the Western Wilderness Continent, so we can send it to confirm this.”

He then went to the communications room in the cathedral to contact the mobile city and give instructions.

“From the time we get to the area you mentioned to the time we finish surveying the natural gas situation there, it will take about three or four hours,” he said.

"Understood." Li Ye nodded.

As he was about to turn back to continue purchasing supplies, Bishop Heath called him back.

"It will take you an hour or two to make the round trip. Instead of that, why not sit down, have some tea, chat, and wait for the results?"

"it is good."

Bishop Heath then led him to the tea room of the Saint.

The tea room is located in the middle section of the Saint.

A white-painted cast iron square table, brass pipes coiling and twisting in the ceiling, and a steam stove specifically for boiling tea.
Bishop Heath then handed Li Ye a cup of black tea.

Li Ye took a bite and found it quite good.

"This tastes really good."

Bishop Heath smiled slightly.

"This is grade 2 tea, grown on a special tea mountain. A batch is harvested every month and distributed as living supplies."

After taking a sip of tea, he immediately looked at Li Ye.

"I have a question."

"Please just say it," Li Ye waved his hand.

"Why are you so determined to go to sea?" Bishop Hiss asked slowly. "You should know that most of the mobile cities in the Western Wilderness are used to staying on land. And if they find a safer area, they will choose to live there, or even settle down there."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Ye gave his answer.

"This world must be very vast, and I want to go and see it."

"I see." Bishop Hiss nodded slightly.

Then he looked at Li Ye with a meaningful gaze.

Even if there are constant dangers ahead, and it might even shatter you to pieces, will you still move forward?

"Yes."

As he answered, Li Ye nodded slightly.

He had confirmed his own feelings and thoughts, and understood that he wanted to keep moving forward.

Bishop Heath's reaction to these words surprised him greatly.

A smile suddenly appeared on his usually indifferent face as he gently patted his knee.

“That’s wonderful, truly wonderful,” he exclaimed. “I looked just like you when I was young.” He then took another sip of tea and squinted at Li Ye.

"While you're exploring this world, are you interested in learning about the old world?"

"The old world?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

Upon closer reflection, the so-called "old world" is probably the human world before the wasteland, or rather, human civilization.

According to Li Ye's calculations, this planet should be similar to Earth, and human civilization should also be highly similar.

But this planet underwent supernatural alteration, or rather, game-like datafication, which turned it into a wasteland.

Under his gaze, Bishop Heath slowly spoke.

"This planet is called Weilan Star, and it is a superplanet."

"A super planet?" Li Ye was taken aback.

Upon further inquiry, it was learned that the surface area of ​​Weilan Star is approximately 8.92 million square kilometers, equivalent to 1.75 times the area of ​​Earth, where it lives. Its mass is about 1.4 times that of Earth, but its density is lower, so its gravity is roughly the same as Earth's, and its rotation period is slightly longer than Earth's.

What Bishop Heath said next surprised him even more.

"At that time, the human civilization on Planet Weilan had a population of about 340 billion, spanned 15 continents, and possessed a series of continental-level organizations."

"Its ocean area is approximately 68%."

"Human civilization on this planet was flourishing, but one day, a cataclysmic event occurred."

As Li Ye listened, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Human civilization of the old era would certainly not sit idly by and wait for its demise; they would do their utmost to save the planet and their own civilization.

How exactly did these people from the old era operate, and how did they fight against this catastrophe?
He was very curious.

However, Bishop Heath did not continue speaking.

When Li Ye cast an inquiring glance at him, the high-ranking bishop of the Apocalypse Church gently shook his head.

“If you want to know more about the Old World, then try to explore it yourself,” he said. “With my limited authority, this is the most information I can get from the Apocalypse Church.”

Li Ye nodded with some disappointment.

He actually wanted to ask one more question.

How many years have passed since the great catastrophe of the old era?

However, judging from the 152-year-long silence agreement, it must have been at least two or three hundred years ago.

The two then chatted over tea.

Unexpectedly, Bishop Hiss gave Li Ye a gift.

That was a complete set of naval shipbuilding books.

Li Ye was naturally overjoyed by this.

“Since you’ve decided to go to sea, they are yours,” Bishop Heath said slowly.

"Thank you so much!" Li Ye said. "By the way, did you collect these?"

Bishop Heath smiled and shook his head.

"These are just naval shipbuilding professional books produced and published by the Apocalypse Church."

Li Ye was stunned when he heard this.

It's amazing that they can produce and publish professional books on naval ships in the wasteland.

Whether it's the professional team that wrote the book, or the series of illustrated materials and technical drawings.
These stringent conditions are terrifying to contemplate; ordinary mobile cities shouldn't even dream of implementing them.

The fact that the Apocalypse Church was able to do this speaks volumes about the immense strength and resources of this world-class organization!
After carefully flipping through the books, he discovered that there were even books about aircraft carriers.

Then, a question popped into his mind.

At what level of mobile city can an aircraft carrier be built?
Three hours later, the two learned the results of their exploration of the natural gas field.

It is estimated that approximately 10 tons of natural gas can be extracted from this sea area, equivalent to a total value of 90 crystal coins.

Upon learning of this, Bishop Heath stood up abruptly.

"Are there still so many?"

Leaving the wilderness is a matter of a single thought.

"So, could you give me an advance on the payment?"

How much do you need for the goods?

"It would be best to pay in advance for everything."

“Impossible!” Bishop Heath shook his head resolutely. “It must be cash on delivery!”

Li Ye immediately looked worried and distressed.

If things continue like this, he won't get many crystal coins in the next two days.

Despite much persuasion, Bishop Hiss could only agree to give him an advance of 15 crystals.

With a sigh, Li Ye calculated the funds he could currently access.

There are currently about 117,000 crystals left, plus the advance payment from Bishop Hiss, for a total of 267,000 crystals.

From this perspective, he could still purchase another level 3 item.

After bidding farewell to Bishop Heath, he left the field and returned to the market by helicopter.

The market was still very lively, and the things on display dazzled him.

Soon, a level 3 item caught his attention.

That was clearly an electromagnetic railgun.

【Item Name: EM-44 Electromagnetic Railgun】

[Level: Level 3]

【附带效果：1.攻击范围+30% 2.精度提升20% 3.磨损速度-20%】

"They actually sell this stuff?" He was stunned.

An electromagnetic railgun is a supersonic weapon that launches projectiles using electromagnetic force.

Compared to the artillery commonly used in mobile cities, it has advantages such as ultra-high muzzle velocity, ultra-long range, and low-cost strike capability.

An electromagnetic railgun has two parallel rails that generate electromagnetic force on the projectile to propel it into the air.

Through questioning, Li Ye learned various data about the weapon.

The initial velocity was 2500 m/s, equivalent to Mach 7.

Its effective range is 180-400km.

The projectile weighs 10-20 kg.

Each launch consumes 15% of the city's energy, and each reloading takes 6-10 minutes.

Electromagnetic railguns do not rely on explosives; instead, they rely on high-speed impacts to cause devastating damage through immense kinetic energy.

The overpressure shock wave generated when the projectile impacts the target can shatter and severely damage it, even if it does not hit the target directly.

Looking at these data, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

This is an absolute weapon of mass destruction, capable of destroying a target from a thousand miles away.

If a mobile city gets hit by a missile, it will probably be rendered unusable.

The shop selling this electromagnetic railgun was not someone else, but a shop specially set up by the Apocalypse Church.

This shop is located in the center of the market, which is almost as big as the market itself.

The room was filled with a dense array of ordinary and high-level items.

As a world-class organization, the Apocalypse Church also needs revenue.

In particular, this counterattack against the Eternal Night District requires the preparation of a large amount of resources such as fuel, coal, and iron ore.

These naturally had to be funded by the Church of Apocalypse and the Titan Throne.

Therefore, the Apocalypse Church decided to open markets and engage in trade to make money.

What made Li Ye even more uneasy was that there was a row of electromagnetic railguns on display in the market.

His lips twitched, but he quickly realized what was happening.

These electromagnetic railguns were not dropped by wild bosses or neutral factions, but were mass-produced by the Apocalypse Cult's level 3 mobile cities through their production workshops.

Upon closer reflection, it seems far too easy for these world-class organizations to generate revenue.

By building high-level weapons and equipment in high-level mobile cities and selling them in low-level areas, one can immediately generate a large profit.
