Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 190 Amazing Naval Vehicles (4K)

Li Ye wasn't going to tolerate them. He immediately assigned combat personnel to take up level 3 sniper rifles and eliminate the gnolls one by one from a distance.

The level 3 sniper rifle is extremely powerful; a single shot can take off a large part of the jackal's body.

After dealing with the remaining gnolls, Li Ye, escorted by combat personnel, landed in the gnoll city and arrived at the production workshop.

Just as he had predicted, there were no production projects at all in the production workshop.

This level 1 mobile city was specifically built by the Gnoll civilization for use in warfare.

Its artillery, heavy machine guns, firearms, bullets, shells, living supplies, and fuel were all supplied by logistics, and it had no production or living capacity whatsoever.

Although it has been blasted into a pile of scrap metal, this monster city still has value.

The parts in the city can be dismantled by the Engineer and then sent to the steel mill to be remade into steel.

As for the hundred or so gnolls, they were level 3 monsters, and the loot they dropped was quite good.

However, compared to giants, gnolls drop far less level 3 iron ore and level 3 cloth, and the drop rate for blueprints is also much lower.

This is probably because giants are monsters with extremely high individual strength, resulting in high drop rates.

However, Li Ye still managed to find two sets of blueprints.

One set of blueprints is for upgrading equipment, and the other set of blueprints is for naval warfare vehicles.

The upgrade blueprints weren't for the city components, artillery, heavy machine guns, or vehicle types he'd been longing for, but rather for melee weapons.

He gasped in surprise.

From this perspective, the development of special forces is actually progressing faster than that of naval, land, and air combat forces.

He immediately input the blueprints into the production workshop and designated the Bloodletter Dagger for an upgrade.

After the upgrade, the Bloodletter's Dagger's attributes changed to "Penetration +30%, Damage +20%", which is equivalent to doubling its power.

To test its power, Li Ye specially removed a level 3 city armor plate from the gnoll city.

As he swung his weapon, a striking scratch immediately appeared on the thick armor plate.

"Not bad, not bad!" he nodded repeatedly.

3级放血者军刺算是物美价廉的典范了，原先的2级升阶到3级只需要1单位3级铁矿，直接打造的话只需要2单位。

This is enough to allow large-scale armed combat personnel to leave the field.

Then he looked at the blueprints for naval warfare vehicles.

After seeing the details, he was stunned.

"Is this a mechanical squid?"

【Item Name: "Black Tide Hunter" Mechanical Squid】

[Level: Level 3]

【附带效果：1.缠绕能力+50% 2.无法被3级及3级以下雷达侦测】

[Crafting Costs: 175 units of iron ore (Level 3), 50 units of precision watercraft parts (Level 3)]

【arms:】

High-voltage electric arc wrist

High-pressure acid

Judging from the drawings, the mechanical squid has a streamlined shell covered with matte black armor. Its oval head is inlaid with more than a dozen observation lenses, forming a chilling array of compound eyes. Below is a beak-like mouthpart capable of spraying high-pressure acid.

Its eight tentacles are made up of more than 700 alloy joints, with retractable serrated suction cups and high-voltage electric shock nodes densely distributed on the inside. The two longest tentacles are also equipped with specially made mechanical clamps at their ends.

The three streamlined humps on its back are equipped with propellers.

Its cockpit is located in the head and is a spherical sealed cabin with a diameter of 1.8 meters and a wall thickness of 30 centimeters.

It can also be used for emergency escape when necessary.

Looking at the design drawings, Li Ye couldn't help but seem lost in thought.

In terms of manufacturing costs, this isn't considered expensive.

Upon seeing the section on side effects, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Anti-radar capability is an excellent feature, but unfortunately it was developed on a mechanical squid!
If it's for a fighter jet or bomber, then it's vertical takeoff.

The mechanical squid does not have torpedoes or missile launchers, which means it has no long-range attack capability whatsoever and can only engage in close combat.

"Entanglement ability +50%".

This side effect also confirms the idea of ​​leaving the wilderness.

According to his design, the mechanical squid, with its anti-radar capabilities, slowly swam to the bottom of the target ship, then suddenly rose to the surface and used its eight tentacles to firmly entangle the target!

Immediately afterwards, the tentacles release a large amount of high-voltage current to paralyze the target, and spray high-pressure acid to corrode the core components.

Within a short period of time, the target ship will lose its maneuverability and gradually be damaged, eventually being dragged into the water by the mechanical squid.

As he pondered this, a hint of surprise appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

That's not bad either.

It can deal with not only ships, but also submarines.

So he calmed down and carefully observed the mechanical squid data on the design drawings.

It is 45 meters long, has a maximum diving depth of 3000 meters, and a maximum speed of 85 knots.

Overall, the stats for these level 3 underwater vehicles are quite good.

After examining the blueprints, Li Ye gathered his companions to discuss matters.

“Since they’ve sent out a level 1 city to scout ahead, the jackal civilization clearly wants to occupy the basin region,” Zhou Xing said worriedly. “Should we fight or retreat?”

"this one"

Li Ye fell into deep thought.

He thought the gnoll civilization wouldn't mobilize its entire force just to fight for a level 1 area.

The Alliance should be able to handle it.

Li Ye himself did not want to give up the basin area, as he was currently in dire need of steel.

On the other hand, the terrain of the many cities in the basin area makes it convenient for the Tomorrow to deploy special forces for operations.

“Bishop Albert should know about the Gnoll civilization. Let’s go ask him,” Yang Zheng suggested.

Without hesitation, Li Ye immediately boarded a Black Hawk helicopter and set off.

"Why are you here again!" Albert was taken aback when he saw him.

After learning of Li Ye's purpose, he waved his hand and said leisurely.

"You can rest assured that the gnoll civilization has also been thrown into chaos by the giants."

According to his speculation, the Gnoll civilization would at most send a city-based force to invade the basin region, and its configuration would likely be "one level 3 assault mobile city + multiple level 1 mobile cities with level 3 configurations".

"Since it's a level 3 mobile city, does the enemy have a systematic air force?" Li Ye asked.

Albert slapped his thigh.

"What are you thinking about? Of course you are!"

Li Ye's expression turned serious.

On land, the Tomorrow Alliance is fully capable of fighting, but in the air, their chances are slim.

Although the pilots have completed the selection process and are undergoing intensive training, with a simulation training time ratio of 1:24, it is far too rushed to put them into combat in just a few days.

Air supremacy!
This becomes especially important in city battles between level 3 mobile cities. If either side gains air superiority, it means they can send air forces to bombard the enemy's ground forces and mobile cities with impunity.

Then, Li Ye spoke with difficulty.

“Bishop Albert, our Tomorrow Alliance is in a precarious situation. Could you please provide us with the blueprints for a Level 3 anti-aircraft gun?”

"."

After a brief silence, Albert's lips twitched.

"You should think more about contributing to humanity, instead of always trying to find ways to benefit from me!" he rebuked angrily.

But considering that this situation was indeed different, he decided to offer some support.

Three Tier 3 fighters from the A9 defensive checkpoint.

The fighter jets and pilots will follow Deno on his return journey, landing on the A1 deck of the Tomorrow and at Deno's command.

Li Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This significantly reduces the pressure from the air.

However, he had one more request.

To deploy a large number of special forces in urban operations, it is necessary to develop a large number of air-wing jetpacks and fox camouflage combat uniforms.

一个喷气背包需要50单位3级铁矿，20单位3级布料，10单位铜矿。一件灵狐迷彩作战服需要50单位3级布料，20单位3级精密服饰配件。

Iron ore and copper ore are easy to find, but cloth is definitely not enough.

Therefore, Li Ye wants A9 to provide him with some Tier 3 cloth.

“Hmm, that’s a reasonable request,” Albert said slowly. “Actually, I think you should broaden your thinking a bit more.”

As a world-class organization, the Apocalypse Cult also possesses special forces.

This is primarily for combat in specific terrains.

Moreover, special forces have another significant role to play.

That is to break into the enemy's mobile city, deploy explosives to destroy its power engine, cockpit, and fuel tank, causing chaos inside, rendering it immobile, or even causing an explosion.

Li Ye's eyes lit up immediately.

It must be said that Albert provided him with a completely new perspective.

The only drawback is that although Tomorrow's special forces have two major advantages, jetpacks and camouflage combat uniforms, they lack level 3 grenades and level 3 C4 explosives.

"So how much level 3 cloth can you give me?" Li Ye asked with a hint of anticipation.

Albert smiled slightly.

"0."

Under Li Ye's questioning gaze, he took out a design drawing from his pocket.

【Item Name: City Textile Factory】

[Level: Level 3]

【附带效果：1.将投入的任意纺织材料打造成布匹。2.打造出来的布匹可作为布料使用。3.纺织厂最多可打造1-3级布匹。打造出来的布料数量视投入的材料质量而定。】

[Requires: 350 units of level 3 iron ore]

Like the steel forging plant, the textile mill also possessed a range of industrial equipment.

It is not a fully automated production process; manual operation is still required.

Li Ye took the design drawings and nodded with delight.

For the current Tomorrow, manpower is not a problem at all.

As for textile materials, there is a Class 1 crop, Yunmeng cotton.

Considering that level 1 cotton is too low and crafting level 3 cloth would consume too much resources, he decided to prioritize upgrading Yunmeng cotton to level 3 in the future.

"I have to say, the difference between these third-tier cities and first- and second-tier cities is truly enormous!" he exclaimed sincerely. "Steel mills and textile factories are clearly moving towards self-sufficiency!"

Albert then reached out and pressed down on his shoulder.

"I have already given you a great deal of help," he said earnestly. "For this, you must repay humanity in kind!"

“Understood, we will do our best to defend the basin area.” Rino nodded solemnly.

Albert chuckled to himself.

"Just holding onto a level 1 area isn't enough; we need to find a way to take over a level 3 area as well!"

Although he was very grateful to Albert, Li Ye did not readily agree.

The difficulty of conquering a level 1 area and conquering a level 3 area are not even in the same league.

He simply brushed it off.

"You're really slippery!" Albert couldn't help but shake his head. "Never mind, let's go back and get ready!"

As he was about to leave, Li Ye remembered something else.

"Bishop Albert, what is the overall situation of the Great Wall?"

Seeing that the other person remained silent and slowly shook their head, he understood the gist of the matter and stopped asking further questions.

Li Ye returned in a Black Hawk helicopter, while the three fighter jets that followed him landed one after another on level A1.

After arranging rooms for the three pilots, Li Ye entered the design blueprints into the production workshop, invested resources, and began building a textile factory. He also summoned members of the city's neighborhood committee and asked them to start recruiting textile factory workers immediately.

Compared to steel forging plants, textile mill machinery is much easier to operate and less prone to accidents.

Therefore, Li Ye demanded that personnel screening and training be completed within one day, and that the textile factory be put into operation.

He arrived at the warehouse some time later.

During this period, a large quantity of Yunmeng cotton was stored in the warehouse. Once the textile mill is operational, it can be put into production of Grade 3 fabric.

Li Ye quickly summoned Lin Wu and three companions and began discussing the battle plan with them.

After some discussion, the group came up with a preliminary plan.

First, the Tomorrow, having recently absorbed over 9000 people, needs time to recover and integrate. Furthermore, its large size makes it vulnerable to enemy air raids, so it will not participate in this combat. To maintain concealment, it will remain in urban camouflage throughout.

But its Black Hawk helicopters, gunships, Convoys One and Two, Storm infantry fighting vehicles, Leopard 2A7V main battle tanks, special forces, and Prometheus will all participate in the war.

Secondly, the Iron Whale, the Peacemaker, and the Star will serve as the main mobile urban combat force. The Tomorrow will provide the Engineer with Level 3 urban camouflage to facilitate its disguise and protection.

"That's about it."

A summary of what happened after leaving the field.

"This will be our first city battle in the New Continent, so everyone must give it their all."

After the meeting, he went to the steel forging plant.

At this moment, the steel forging plant was a scene of bustling activity, with large quantities of steel bars, steel beams, metal products, and scrap vehicles collected from the city being put into it and continuously forged into Grade 3 steel.

To expedite the process as much as possible, Li Ye dispatched over a thousand people to collect metal in the city.

Meanwhile, the Iron Whale and the Engineer were also collecting steel bars and beams extensively and handing them over to the Tomorrow.

In order to protect the special forces' operational environment, Li Ye instructed his comrades to only collect materials from buildings that had been completely destroyed by the giants.

Relying on the basin region with its numerous city ruins, the Tomorrow Alliance has achieved iron ore freedom.

To Rino's relief and surprise, the basin area remained calm for the next two or three days.

He was able to seize this rare opportunity to mass-produce level 3 steel and level 3 cloth to build up combat resources.
