Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 202 The "Old Partner" Eliminated by the Times (4K)

"Speaking of which, Elder, can the shop manufacture nuclear bombs?" Zhou Xing asked.

“Level 4 mobile cities do indeed have nuclear production projects,” the middle-aged elder replied, “but nuclear weapons are a controlled project and cannot be sold to foreign entities.”

"Leader, we really can't afford these big stuff," Yang Zheng whispered into Li Ye's ear. "But we might consider buying level 4 artillery and level 4 heavy machine guns."

Li Ye nodded and then spoke.

The middle-aged elder was stunned upon hearing this, then chuckled softly.

"You guys probably don't venture into the wasteland much, so where would you find any level 4 artillery?"

After his explanation, everyone understood the reason.

Starting from Tier 3 cities, missiles officially entered the category of weapons.

Not only do land, sea, and air combat forces possess missiles, but mobile cities are also equipped with missile launchers.

Compared to artillery, missiles can often be launched hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, which is enough to accomplish the mission of striking targets at long range.

In comparison, artillery with a range of only a few kilometers at most seems rather inadequate.

"So they were eliminated!" Li Ye suddenly realized.

"However, we do have Tier 4 artillery," the middle-aged elder replied. "Tier 4 upgrade blueprints can upgrade artillery into main guns with a longer range."

He then told everyone an anecdote from the wasteland.

Even after upgrading to a higher-level city, some lords still retain their cannons.

The main reason is that everyone is reluctant to part with these old buddies who accompanied them through the early days.

Some lords would even collect upgrade blueprints to continue upgrading their lords.

Some lords even requested that cannons be buried with them before they died.

Li Ye and the others were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they were quite moved.

After all, artillery has been a weapon that has accompanied them through many trials and tribulations.

Humans are ultimately creatures who cherish the past.

The middle-aged elder then led everyone on a tour of the new project.

This time, it's a diverse array of combat robots.

There are reconnaissance robots capable of becoming invisible and shielding themselves from tracking signals.

It is a spider-shaped anti-infantry robot with eight incredibly sharp mechanical claws and amazing mobility.

There are specialized engineering robots responsible for construction projects and vehicle maintenance.

There are combat robots that are tens of meters tall and can be considered mobile fortresses on the battlefield.

He nodded repeatedly as he looked around.

It has to be said that this time he really had his eyes opened.

If we take mobile cities as the standard, a level 3 mobile city can be considered to have initially stepped into the threshold of modern warfare.

A level 4 mobile city is equivalent to a completely modern war, and even more so!

Unlike previous aircraft carriers and mobile suits, these robots are much smaller and can be sold in retail.

However, the price is not cheap, starting at around 15 crystals.

After returning to the Tomorrow, Li Ye handed over the Tomorrow's territory trade and foreign procurement to the City Residents' Committee and Lin Wu.

Therefore, the neighborhood committee submitted another budget report to Liye.

As before, in order to purchase some ordinary and level 1 daily necessities and household appliance design drawings, as well as level 1 crop seeds.

After several hours of work, the neighborhood committee handed over a procurement list.

The above are the blueprints they selected and purchased at the market that day.

Level 3 Power Engine "Eternal Furnace Core".

Level 3 city armor "Giant Armor".

The Level 3 radar, "Tianyan-7".

Level 3 signal shielding device, "Silent Curtain".

Tier 3 City Radio Station Upgrade Blueprints.

Level 3 crop upgrade blueprint.

The city neighborhood committee also purchased two cannon upgrade blueprints and corresponding level 3 rare ores—this was for upgrading Tomorrow's Frost Cannon and Lava Cannon.

The Tier 3 crop upgrade blueprints are used to upgrade Cloud Dream Cotton.

Incidentally, high-level upgrade blueprints can be used directly on level 1 crops.

The same applies to lower-level items.

Li Ye immediately began to carefully examine the upgrade blueprints for the city radio station.

The blueprints show that upgrading a city radio station from level 2 to level 3 requires 300 units of level 3 iron ore.

After the upgrade, its performance was also improved.

First, the capacity has increased from 12 members to 24.

Second, energy consumption is reduced to 2% per activation and 0.5% per hour.

Third, it adds voice communication functionality and can be connected to radio systems.

Fourth, it has changed from regional connections to continental/oceanic connections.

"That's really great!" Li Ye exclaimed.

In this way, Tomorrow can keep the city radio station running throughout the entire journey, and can even be equipped with a radio for command.

According to Lin Wu, this city radio upgrade blueprint is the most expensive of all the items purchased, costing a full 35 crystal coins.

Li Ye also made a special trip to see the Grade 1 crops that the city neighborhood committee had bought.

Moonlight Ivy, Ghost Mushroom, Frosty Mint, Thunder Pea, Dragon's Breath Coffee Bean, Laughing Onion, Sparkling Watermelon.
The purpose of purchasing the Moon Silver Ivy was to green the mobile urban environment.

As the Tomorrow ship gradually increases in size, urban greening has become a noteworthy project.

Lin Wu said that he only had enough money to buy these items.

Level 3 design drawings are already expensive, and since the procurement is for a core project, the price naturally increases even more.

Although the steel mill operated at full capacity to produce steel and sell it to generate revenue throughout the day, the amount of crystal coins it earned was ultimately limited.

The crystals that the Alliance had earned from attacking the Naga and other monster civilizations in the Terranis Ocean were quickly spent.

Even the steel produced in the basin area during those three days was all sold.

Li Ye expressed his understanding and made arrangements.

For the foreseeable future, the Tier 3 steel produced by the steel mill will be prioritized for crafting Tier 3 city armor and Tier 3 power engines.

Before long, Kongmeng Island arrived at the tourist state of the old civilization area.

At the request of the island's owner, the authorities drove the island to the coast of the tourist state.

With the activation of the super magnetic device, the five mobile cities of Tomorrow Alliance landed steadily on the beach.

The first thing to do after landing in the field was to begin deploying naval forces to the outside world.

As for the water navigation components needed for the Tier 1 city Starship, Tomorrow was specially responsible for building them.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Ye realized that all of Tomorrow's waterborne navigation parts were only level 1 or 2, which seemed somewhat outdated, with only the hull being level 3.

After returning to sea, the first and second convoys were redeployed, and the Flight III destroyers began reassembly with the help of the Engineer.

Li Ye looked towards the city ruins not far away.

"I wonder how Xie Jie and the Seventh Division of the Embers are doing?"

Not long after, the troops sent out to scout sent back intelligence.

There are no giants roaming in the city ruins, so you can enter without worry.

The seventh division still survives in the city ruins.

Upon noticing the commotion in the city, Xie Jie, the branch manager, arrived in an off-road vehicle to meet with the group.

Li Ye learned about Yu Jin's situation over the past month from Xie Jie.

Since all the giants gained intelligence, the Ember's activities on the ground have been greatly restricted, and he can no longer even show himself.

"I didn't expect you guys to be back again," Xie Jie said in surprise. "Yes," Li Ye replied. "We still have a lot of work to do here."

Just then, a sound came from afar.

Li Ye turned his head to look.

That was the Flight III destroyer.

With the help of the Engineer, it has been assembled and returned to the sea.

This third-class destroyer, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, cleaved through the deep blue sea. The waves churned up by its bow burst into countless tiny pebbles and sprays under the sunlight, leaving a white contrail stretching for miles behind it.

The destroyer then rose and fell steadily on the waves, the deep roar of the diesel engine intertwining with the sound of waves crashing against the hull.

On the deck, the barrels of the Vulcan close-in weapon system were ready to roar at any moment, and the missile launchers were neatly arranged, with destructive power lurking beneath the cold, hard metal shell.

On the water, the first and second fleets were also patrolling.

The government dispatched four Shadow Falcon fighter jets to patrol the entire tourist state.

During this period, four fighter pilots trained intensively in the simulator, especially in air combat. The technology has now advanced by leaps and bounds.

I believe that it won't be long before we're able to fight the monster's flying forces.

An hour later, the fighter jets returned with reconnaissance reports.

There are probably five or six hundred giants remaining in the entire tourist state, most of whom live in the ruins of various cities and towns.

Upon learning of the situation, Li Ye pondered for a moment before waving his hand.

"Let's get started as soon as possible and quiet down the tourist state."

Five or six hundred intelligent giants would have been extremely troublesome for the Tomorrow Alliance when they first arrived in Southern Liuzhou.

However, the strength of Tomorrow's Alliance has increased significantly, and they can easily deal with it now.

What made Li Ye feel most relaxed was that there were no winged giants among these five or six hundred giants.

These giants can not only fly, but also manipulate air currents; they're incredibly troublesome.

He felt extremely troubled when he saw the winged giant at the A9 checkpoint.

Since there were no winged giants in the air, air superiority over the tourist state naturally fell into the hands of the Tomorrow Alliance.

The war became much easier in an instant.

Li Ye immediately gathered several companions to discuss the battle plan.

This time he used a Level 3 city radio station.

Modern city radio stations consume very little energy and are able to connect to radio systems, making them extremely convenient.

"Finally, I've got my chance to fight!" Yang Zheng said eagerly.

The Peacemaker's artillery, electromagnetic railgun, and newly installed missile launchers are all formidable weapons.

However, it's only useful against hordes of charging giants.

It would be a waste to use it only to deal with the scattered giants that roam around towns and cities.

After some discussion, the group finalized their plan.

The Tomorrow and Engineer remained hidden as usual.

The pacification team was on standby in the rear.

The Iron Whale and the Starship were deployed.

The Tomorrow deployed Shadow Falcon fighter jets, Black Hawk helicopters, special forces, and marines to participate in the battle.

An abandoned small town in a tourist prefecture.

A giant inhabitant is wandering around.

The town's clock tower trembled with his heavy footsteps.

With each step the giant resident took, the old, decaying road surface crumbled and sank like a fragile biscuit.

A whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky.

The resident giant looked up and saw that it was a fighter jet.

He immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly reached out towards the clock tower in front of him, tearing off a section of the wall and breaking it into numerous architectural fragments.

Immediately afterwards, he hurled it at the fighter jet.

The fighter jet avoided the rain of gravel by climbing rapidly, and then swooped down at a near-vertical angle.

The missiles mounted on the fuselage gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

As the giant's face drew ever closer, the pilot in the cockpit spoke coldly.

"Die, monster."

With that, he pulled the trigger.

The missile detached from its mounting and sped toward the giant.

It struck the giant's chest and exploded.

The shockwave ripped the giant's ribs outwards like a steel frame being demolished by explosives, and burning fragments of his organs rained down on the street like a meteor shower.

The giant resident let out a painful howl, collapsed to his knees, and the dust he kicked up formed a small mushroom cloud.

Even though the attack severely damaged him, his powerful self-healing ability was still at work.

The resident giant's horrific abdominal wound is slowly healing.

The pilot was about to finish off the enemy, but abandoned his plan after seeing the commotion in the distance.

In the distance, a Leopard 2A7V main battle tank has already completed its aiming.

The resident giant, who was wailing, clearly realized something was wrong and tried to grab a nearby wrecked vehicle and throw it in retaliation.

But the next second, the Leopard 2A7V main battle tank opened fire.

The roar of the 125mm smoothbore cannon shattered shop windows on nearby streets, and the blast wave from the muzzle even created a small storm in the surrounding area.

Within a thousandth of a second of leaving the barrel, the tank shell undergoes a transformation. The alloy core breaks free from the shell casing and hurtles out at extremely high speed, tearing through the air and forming a cone-shaped white mist.

It thus accurately struck the giant's head.

The skin on the giant's face caved in like stretched rubber, and the entire skull structure disintegrated layer by layer as the shockwave propagated, like glass struck by a hammer.

Skull fragments flew out in a radial pattern, and the eyeballs burst into two clumps of gelatinous blood mist due to the pressure difference. The remaining mandible was still in a roaring posture.

His hand gripping the car was still twitching as if a nerve had shot through him. His massive body staggered a couple of steps before finally collapsing, his knees hitting the ground and sending up countless bouncy pieces of asphalt.

The observer inside the tank nodded in satisfaction after witnessing this scene.

"The enemy has been successfully dealt with!"

The others exchanged glances and then cheered.

Meanwhile, Tang Fang piloted the Starship to a city ruin.

The reconnaissance plane had already circled the city ruins once, informing them of the specific situation within the ruins.

There are more than two hundred giants here.

Tang Fang wasn't the only one in the cockpit; Lin Wu was also there. He would be in charge of commanding the Starship.

After confirming the surrounding situation, Lin Wu picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Report: Starship has arrived at the combat location. Please issue combat instructions."

"receive."

Li Ye's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Be careful, Lin Wu. The city ruins you are about to attack have the largest number of giants and are extremely dangerous."

"For this purpose, I have deployed a Black Rain bomber to the Starship. It has now reached high altitude above the city and begun strategic patrols."

"You can call it in for fire support if necessary. Finally, remember to be careful during combat."

Lin Wu nodded.

"clear."

As a pioneer at the forefront, the Starship's deck not only carries the first and second convoys, but also the newly built Tier 3 Leapfrog mechs, Tier 3 artillery motorcycles, special forces, and bullfrog vehicles.

And the three Prometheus followed.
