Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 187 Super Land Combat Vehicle - Prometheus (4K)

After this fierce battle, the A9 checkpoint is already badly damaged.

The city walls were riddled with shocking cracks, steam pipes were exposed like torn blood vessels, and charred asphalt and the remains of giants were solidified on the ground.

Under the commanders' orders, the giant rail-mounted cranes deployed along the Great Wall were activated. They moved slowly along the rails at the top of the wall, their hydraulic arms humming as they pulled the damaged fortifications from the seams of the armor like teeth being extracted.

Large and small robotic arms were also activated to begin repairing the city wall.

Whenever a severely damaged crack is detected, a robotic arm equipped with a nozzle aims at the target and sprays Level 3 rapidly solidifying molten metal. This high-temperature molten metal quickly solidifies the crack and, upon cooling, forms an even stronger composite armor layer than before.

On the most severely damaged section of the city wall, dozens of working claws of various sizes are working together.

These hundreds of machines, like shell doctors, are performing precise surgery on this city wall.

With expedited operations, the A9 checkpoint can regain its defensive capabilities in just one or two days.

According to everyone's estimation, the giants are unlikely to launch another attack in the short term.

After all, this war left a huge shadow not only on humans but also on the minds of the giants.

Through communication, everyone learned some unpleasant information.

The A9 pass was successfully defended, but the giants have breached more than half of the passes along the Great Wall.

Currently, a massive army of giants, numbering in the millions, is marching eastward towards the southern continent of Liuzhou.

"What kind of mess is this!" A commander at the A9 checkpoint sighed softly.

Given the fighting power of the giant civilization, sweeping across the entire Southern Liuzhou continent would naturally be no problem.

The only area that could survive is the Flame Desert, which is a level 4 area.

The many monster civilizations of Nanliu Continent are no pushovers either; the vast majority are level 2-3 and will definitely engage in fierce battles with the giant civilization.

It was foreseeable that the entire Southern Liuzhou would be destroyed.

At the top of the city wall, Li Ye gazed longingly at the giant's remains in the asphalt sea.

This time, the guards at the pass killed twenty to thirty thousand giants.

These are all level 3 monsters, and the loot is extremely generous.

Once the asphalt sea cools and solidifies, you can safely go down and collect it.

However, this batch of spoils belonged to the garrison at the pass, and the Tomorrow Alliance contributed very little to this war.

While Li Ye was staring blankly at the asphalt sea, someone approached him.

“Stop spacing out.” Albert waved his arm in front of him. “If you want to pick some up, you can. I’ve spoken with the commander at A9 checkpoint, and they’ve given their approval.”

"Huh?" Li Ye was taken aback.

Albert was willing to give him the green light mainly because the Tomorrow Alliance had taken in and housed about 10,000 people.

Li Ye immediately became excited and began mobilizing manpower.

Even with permission, he remained quite reserved, instructing everyone to pick up only a small amount and not too much.

After all, these giants were annihilated by the A9 checkpoint garrison; the Tomorrow Alliance didn't contribute much.

Once the asphalt sea had cooled, the personnel arranged by Li Ye immediately set off.

“Leave resources like crystals, iron ore, and coal to the A9 checkpoint garrison,” Li Ye reminded them. “You just need to bring back some level 3 design blueprints.”

After working for about half an hour, I left the field to check the harvest.

Four Level 3 design drawings.

设计图纸有3级城市建筑自来水厂、3级金属投网装置、3级超级陆战载具-机械巨人，3级重型降落伞，3级冷冻射线枪。

He first looked at the Tier 3 land vehicle.

【Item Name: Mechanical Giant "Prometheus"】

[Level: Level 3]

【附带效果：1.所受到的3级及3级以下伤害减少70% 2.机动能力+40%】

[Crafting Costs: 900 Iron Ore (Level 3), 150 Precision Land Vehicle Parts (Level 3)]

From an aesthetic standpoint, Prometheus's design blends the ruggedness of steampunk with the majesty of a lost civilization, presenting an overall ancient yet ferocious mechanical aesthetic.

This humanoid combat weapon, which is hundreds of meters tall, is covered with rivets, gears and steam pipes. Its muscular metal structure is full of power, but its joints reveal a sophisticated mechanical structure.

Its head resembles a medieval knight's helmet, and its mouth has a steam valve-like structure that spews out high-temperature white mist and emits a piercing metallic hiss during battle. A massive gear core is embedded in its chest, constantly spinning and sparking, like the power source of the entire machine. Several thick steam pipes are connected to its back, spraying high-pressure gas with each movement.

As for Prometheus's weapons, they were a multi-barreled rotating cannon and a giant mechanical claw.

Not only that, its fists are also extremely powerful; a single punch is enough to shatter a mountain peak.

"this."

As Li Ye looked around, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

Prometheus's design certainly suits his taste, but his actual combat ability is another matter.

Moreover, its construction costs are almost comparable to those of a Zhenlang destroyer.

However, its firepower is no match for the Zhenlang destroyer, which possesses considerable long-range strike capabilities.

"Maybe we should build one and try it out," Li Ye thought. "With such a high cost, it can't be too useless."

Since Prometheus is a super land combat vehicle that is hundreds of meters tall, the production workshop could not manufacture its finished product. Naturally, it was produced by manufacturing a series of parts and then assembling them outside.

This task was handed over to the Engineer.

While producing Prometheus, Li Ye continued to examine the remaining Level 3 design blueprints.

【Item Name: "Cold Wind" Freezing Ray Gun】

[Level: Level 3]

[Additional effects: 1. Freezing ability increased by 40% 2. Range increased by 25%]

[Crafting Requirements: 100 units of Iron Ore (Level 3), 25 units of Frost Ore (Level 3)]

Judging from the design drawings, the cryo-ray gun looks like a cutting-edge technological creation from the future, with a sharp and smooth overall outline.

While sighing, Li Ye frowned.

This cost is not cheap.

Needless to say, you need 100 units of level 3 iron ore, and you also need 25 units of level 3 frost ore.

This thing is only suitable for special forces.

"I wonder how effective this freeze ray gun will be against giants," he thought to himself.

The Level 3 metal netting device has the added benefits of "compressive strength +30% and adhesion stability +40%", and is mainly designed for mobile cities or large vehicles.

Due to the limited launch range, the design could only be deployed in defensive cities, so the design blueprints naturally ended up with the Iron Whale.

When he saw the Level 3 heavy parachute, Li Ye immediately became interested.

This is not for armed personnel, but specifically for large vehicles or buildings. According to the description, the Level 3 heavy parachute can carry vehicles up to the size of heavy tanks.

"So, I can now airdrop tanks to the target location for combat?" Li Ye thought to himself.

The Tomorrow's flight unit has a Super Galaxy military transport aircraft, but it has been sitting on the sidelines because it is not needed.

The Super Galaxy military transport aircraft can carry two main battle tanks at a time.

If it's a heavy tank, it can only carry one at most.

Finally, Li Ye looked at the design drawings for the Level 3 waterworks.

The functions of a waterworks are to improve basic water purification efficiency by 85%, increase bacterial kill rate by 70%, and reduce energy consumption by 20%.

Not only that, it also comes with pipelines covering the entire mobile city.

Once the water treatment plant is built, and it is combined with the existing Jieyuan system, comprehensive water supply can be achieved within the city.

However, there is still a problem.

That is, the Tomorrow is currently unable to achieve self-sufficiency in internal water supply and can only obtain water through external channels.

It wasn't so bad before, but now that it has over 1 people, water use has suddenly become a problem that can't be ignored.

The Tomorrow has only a level 2 water tower. When absorbing these 10,000 new residents, Li Ye still needs to build level 2 water towers in many parts of the city to store water.

"By the time we reach level 4, there should be city buildings that can solve the water problem, right?" he thought to himself.

With Prometheus fully assembled, the group began to test its combat capabilities.

Its multi-barreled rotating cannon and giant mechanical claw are only moderately powerful.

Its strongest fighting force is actually itself.

This mechanical giant was far more agile than anyone had imagined, and with its heavy mass, it charged like a cannonball breaking through enemy lines.

Its power is extremely strong; it can destroy a mountain peak with just a few punches.

Not only that, Prometheus was also amphibious, but he was far less agile in the water than on land.

It cannot swim, but instead moves along the seabed at an extremely slow speed.

Prometheus's multi-barreled rotating cannon is waterproof, so there's no need to worry about it malfunctioning once it's submerged.

"Leader, I think we should consider building a few more," Yang Zheng couldn't help but suggest. "If it's a ground battlefield, the Prometheus has high defense and is extremely agile, making it very suitable for attacking enemy ground forces."

"It can also serve as a temporary stop for special forces on the battlefield for rest and refueling," Zhou Xing added.

Leaving the field still presents some challenges.

Ultimately, Prometheus was simply too expensive to build.

Although the Tomorrow Alliance currently has enough metal resources to craft level 3 steel, it cannot afford to waste resources like this.

If the price were halved, he would be eager to build a dozen or twenty of them.

Just then, Albert suddenly approached him.

Li Ye once again expressed his gratitude for the green light given to him.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know," Li Ye replied.

Albert looked at him with a half-smile on his face.

Do you know why humanity didn't send in high-level mobile cities this time?

"Why not do it, Lord Victor?"

In the communications room, Heath asked softly.

"The giants are terrifying, but we can easily deal with them as long as we send out a level 4 mobile city."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cough weakly.

After all, he had been seriously wounded on the battlefield not long ago and was barely rescued, and his body had been replaced with many mechanical organs.

“Cough, cough, if we don’t intervene, the Great Wall, this continental fortification, will fall, and humanity will completely lose its foothold in Southern Liuzhou,” he said.

Compared to the tense Heath, Victor seemed particularly relaxed, and even lit a cigarette.

"In fact, more than half of the passes of the Great Wall have fallen, and the giants have crossed the Great Wall and headed to the eastern region of the continent."

"However, with the expansion of the giant civilization, the fall of the Great Wall is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Why?" Heath exclaimed.

Viktor waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

The cardinal slowly took a puff of his cigarette and began to explain to Heath.

Nanliu Continent is a continent where the monster faction has an advantage.

The expansion of intelligent giant civilizations is actually a good thing for humanity.

The monsters are not a monolithic entity.

The giant civilization will destroy the areas it passes through and the monster civilization that controls it, essentially uprooting the original forces and reshuffling the deck.

Therefore, the three major world-class organizations of the monsters are more anxious than humans and are more eager to intervene and eliminate the giant civilization as soon as possible.

This time, the three major world organizations demanded that both sides adhere to the silence agreement and refrain from deploying high-level mobile cities.

Currently, the giant civilization has completely spread throughout Southern Liuzhou. The rumbling of the earth caused by their charge has destroyed the fortresses, towns, and resistance forces of the local monster civilization, leaving the area almost completely deserted.

In battles against multiple level 3 monster civilizations, the giants also suffered heavy losses.

This mutually destructive situation undoubtedly gave humanity an opportunity to exploit.

"If we time it right, we can seize multiple areas of Southern Liuzhou in one fell swoop and reverse humanity's long-standing disadvantage on this continent," Victor concluded.

Taken aback, Heath nodded slowly.

He finally understood why the three major human organizations didn't directly confront the Titans this time, or even use nuclear weapons.

Everyone is hoping that Southern Liuzhou will be in chaos.

In a sense, the Great Wall, a continental fortification erected by humans in the central part of Southern Liuzhou, indirectly helped the eastern region of the continent block the giants and also protected the monster civilization that controlled these areas.

Viktor chuckled, took a drag of his cigarette, and continued his outrageous remarks.

He told Heath that the three organizations had held a meeting to discuss whether to completely destroy the Great Wall and let the giants travel to the eastern part of Southern Ryukyu to clear the way for humans.

But upon closer reflection, this continental-scale project has cost a fortune and has stood in Nanliuzhou for over fifty years; it would be a real shame to give it up so easily.

Heath let out a long sigh of relief.

It has to be said that everything between world-class organizations is based on calculation!
"The giant civilization is like a knife to us humans. We wish it were as sharp as possible, so that it could poke as many holes as possible in Southern Liuzhou."

"Viktor said calmly."

"Right now, the entire Southern Continent is in complete chaos. Almost all the monster civilizations are fighting against the giant civilization. And chaos is the best ladder."
