Chapter 264: Level 5 Artifacts for Defensive Cities! (4K)

A roar came from the sky as the Black Hawk helicopter swiftly flew towards the petrified giant crab.

Each helicopter is equipped with an Acid Throat combat mech suspended from its belly.

As the pilot pulled the trigger, the Acid Throat mech spewed countless streams of high-pressure acid at the petrified giant crab.

The chilling sound of corrosion echoed across the battlefield.

The moment the high-pressure acid came into contact with the carapace, pungent yellow smoke immediately billowed out, and the carapace structure collapsed like a melting candle.

The high-pressure acid seeped into the body through the gaps in the shell, causing a violent reaction inside.

The petrified giant crab's body emitted muffled, thunderous crackling sounds from time to time.

This wild boss let out an unprecedented roar of pain.

Upon seeing this, Li Ye was immediately overjoyed.

The destructive power of the high-pressure acid far exceeded his expectations.

Li Ye immediately had an idea.

He ordered the Acid Throat mech to prioritize destroying the petrified giant crab's massive arthropods, rendering it immobile.

Over the next ten minutes, the Acid Throat mech, suspended by the Black Hawk helicopter, began to pour high-pressure acid onto the giant segmented limbs.

The high-pressure acid corroded the arthropod joints, and under everyone's watchful eyes, the key nodes that supported the petrified giant crab's enormous weight began to dissolve one by one.

The petrified giant crab's left and right limbs broke off in the middle like a gnawed candy stick, causing it to collapse with a crash on the shore.

To Li Ye's surprise, this petrified giant crab also possessed an incredibly powerful self-repairing ability.

Its eyes have begun to repair rapidly, and even its carapace and limbs, which were severely corroded by high-pressure acid, are recovering at an accelerated pace.

"Increase the firepower! We can't let it recover!" He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie. "Yang Zheng, use all the Earth Core Rose shells!"

Seemingly sensing the impending great danger, the petrified crab exerted its power once more.

With just its mental power, it manipulated the sea of ​​stones to form a petrified tsunami hundreds of meters high!

Seeing this, H6 had no choice but to quickly abandon the fishing rod and retreat.

The mobile cities of Tomorrow Alliance are mostly located in the rear.

To stop this petrifying tsunami, the molecular splitting cannon on the Nature H6 kept firing to tear it apart.

No sooner had one problem subsided than another arose, and the petrified Cancer began to unleash its power once again.

It struck the earth with its remaining segments, triggering deep tremors and releasing devastating seismic waves.

The continuous tremors caused the ground to collapse and even form petrified vortexes like quicksand.

Even the entire colossal cavern trembled violently.

Li Ye couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead—this level 4 wilderness BOSS was indeed not so easy to deal with.

After a fierce battle that lasted for an unknown period of time, the war finally came to an end.

With a mournful cry, the petrified giant crab collapsed to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally succeeded.

At this moment, the entire colossal cave was in complete disarray.

Filled with excitement, Li Ye slowly walked towards the petrified giant crab's corpse.

It's time to reap the rewards.

He actually had some thoughts about that level 5 item that always dropped.

He wanted a level 5 finished product rather than a level 5 blueprint, so that it could be quickly converted into combat power.

Upon reaching the petrified giant crab corpse, Li Ye excitedly reached out his hand.

"You must get me something good!"

[87274 crystal coins.]

【2642单位4级铁矿，1923单位4级煤炭，1721单位4级燃料。】

[Tier 4 Depth Charge Upgrade Blueprint]

[Tier 4 Magnetic Storm Tank Design Blueprints]

[Design drawings of integrated medical cabins for Level 4 urban building "Life Containers"]

[Tier 4 Weapon Upgrade Blueprints]

[Tier 4 Melee City Accessory - "Cancer Claws"]

[Level 5 City Facility - "Ripple Core" Gravitational Wave Controller]

Li Ye quickly looked at the level 5 item.

【Item Name: "Ripple Core" Gravitational Wave Controller】

[Level: Level 5]

[Bonus effect: Manipulates gravity within a 1-kilometer radius, consumes 90% of the city's energy per hour]

[Crafting Requirements: 700 units of Iron Ore (Level 5), 300 units of Precision Components (Level 5)]

You cannot craft this item because you do not have the required crafting recipe.

From the outside, the gravitational wave controller is a ring-shaped device that is hundreds of meters high.

Its main body consists of dozens of nested alloy rings, each of which rotates slowly at a different angle. Liquid substances flow in the gaps between the rings, like a galaxy being pulled by an invisible hand, drawing an elegant spiral trajectory in the vacuum.

Not only Li Ye, but also the crowd that had gathered around were stunned.

This level 5 item only has one additional effect, but it's far too simple and crude!

The basic functions of the "Ripple Core" gravitational wave controller are as follows.

First, by emitting gravitational waves of a specific frequency, the controller can create an artificial gravitational field in a local space, thereby increasing, decreasing, or reversing the gravity in the target area.

Second, it can counteract or redirect the inertial forces acting on an object, enabling heavy vehicles such as warships and mechs to perform unconventional maneuvers.

Third, it forms a gravity shield around its body to deflect or absorb the impact of kinetic weapons.

Fourth, it forms a gravitational pull, dragging the enemy like an invisible giant hand.

Even Fang Ying was deeply moved.

"You've really struck gold this time!" he exclaimed.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

The drop of these level 5 items is a gamble in itself. If he gets something like a level 5 toilet or a level 5 toothbrush, he'll be devastated.

While he was excited, he silently sighed in his heart.

"However, to be honest, a 1-kilometer range is really too short."

One kilometer seems like a long distance, but it's not nearly enough on the battlefield.

Li Ye then took the level 5 item and began distributing it.

In fact, the ownership of this level 5 item was already determined the moment it was seen.

That was the Iron Whale, a defensive city.

Fang Yong was even more excited than when he left the field.

Keep in mind that the Iron Whale was only a level 2 mobile city, equipped with only level 3 items, but now it suddenly has level 5 items.

The range is just too big!

However, this is also one of the benefits of city alliances.

The development of a mobile city alliance is not uniform.

It's impossible for all the cities in the alliance to simultaneously upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and then to level 3.

The resources available for city advancement in the wasteland are ultimately limited.

Concentrate resources to prioritize upgrading a mobile city to a high level, then unlock production workshops of the corresponding level to create high-level items that can be used to support lower-level cities within the alliance. This is the most practical approach.

Not only Li Ye, but Zhou Xing and Yang Zheng were also extremely envious.

"Speaking of which, Lao Fang, it's time to replace the Titan's Grip magnetic device on your deck," Li Ye reminded him.

"Huh?" Fang Yong was stunned.

However, upon closer examination, he realized that this was indeed the case.

The gravitational wave controller is equivalent to a super-enhanced version of the Titan's Grip magnetic device, which is indeed not very useful anymore.

Nevertheless, Fang Yong still seemed somewhat reluctant to leave.

"Don't worry, the Titan's Grip magnetic device won't be obsolete," Li Ye reassured him. "I'll install it on the Starship so it can continue to shine."

According to the agreement, level 5 items belong to Tomorrow Alliance, and the remaining drops have nothing to do with Liye.

Even so, Li Ye still looked at those level 4 items with a lingering, reluctant gaze.

Those four level 4 blueprints and level 4 city components are all truly valuable items.

His gaze quickly fell on the design drawings of the city's buildings.

【Item Name: "Life-Saving Mobile Hospital" Medical Module】

[Level: Level 4]

[Additional benefits: 1. Fully automated medical functions 2. 20% reduction in energy consumption]

[Crafting Requirements: 50 units of iron ore (Level 4)]

According to the design drawings, the medical cabin has a streamlined oval structure. It is about 2.5 meters long and 1.2 meters wide, with a matte pearl white surface. The sides of the cabin are inlaid with translucent blue light guide strips.

The cabin door features a magnetic levitation sliding cover design, the internal cabin is ergonomically designed, and the exterior is inlaid with a curved holographic projection screen that projects 3D images above the patient during treatment, displaying the treatment process in real time.

Looking around, the entire medical pod resembles a sophisticated scientific instrument, or a futuristic cocoon of life, perfectly showcasing a style that blends cutting-edge technology with humanistic care.

"What a wonderful thing!" Li Ye exclaimed.

With this thing, I won't have to rack my brains to design any medical system anymore, and the doctors and nurses I deployed before can be completely eliminated.

Although according to the agreement, all level 4 loot belongs to NatureH6, Liye can still pay the other party to buy it.

Upon learning of Li Ye's intentions, Fang Ying readily agreed. After all, the purpose of hunting this level 4 wild BOSS was to generate revenue.

“For just 50 crystal coins, this design blueprint is yours,” he said.

"50?" Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course, as the lord of a level 4 assault city, don’t you understand its value?” Fang Ying replied.

After some haggling, the two parties agreed on a price of 45 crystal coins.

Li Ye then looked at the upgrade blueprint for the depth charge.

“If you want it, you can take it for 15 crystal coins,” Fang Ying said.

After a moment's thought, Li Ye bought the blueprint.

This added another 60 crystal coins to his debt.

"I don't have any money on hand right now, could you let me postpone the payment?" he said.

Fang Ying readily nodded.

"Your Tomorrow Alliance has a decent reputation, so we can let you owe us for now."

Then, he looked at the petrified giant crab's corpse in front of him.

"I think this body should belong to Nature H6."

Li Ye nodded slowly.

This level 4 wild boss is actually a mutated creature; its crab meat and secreted mucus are valuable resources.

He had already gained enough this time, so he naturally didn't mind doing this favor.

Looking at the petrified giant crab's corpse before him, Fang Ying couldn't help but put his hands on his hips, feeling quite pleased.

"This time we can meet the target of 10 tons of slime, or even more!"

After returning to the Tomorrow, Li Ye brought two sets of blueprints to the production workshop.

He first upgraded the existing Level 2 "MK6" depth charges in the production workshop to Level 4.

【Item Name: MK6 Depth Charge】

[Level: Level 4]

【附带效果：1.爆炸范围+100% 2.视下潜深度，伤害提升100% 3.磁力自动追踪功能】

[Crafting Requirements: 5 units of iron ore (level 4) 2 units of gunpowder (level 4)]

Li Ye nodded slowly.

He was quite satisfied with the additional effects of the upgraded MK6 depth charge.

Originally at level 2, its additional effects were only "explosion radius +25%" and "damage increased by 5-20% depending on diving depth".

Upgrading to level 4 not only greatly improves the performance, but also adds an automatic magnetic tracking function.

The second is the treatment cabin project.

Li Ye plans to spend 1000 units of level 4 steel to build 20 healing chambers on the Tomorrow in one go.

However, the new Grade 4 steel is still in production.

If an enemy attacks, this batch of level 4 steel should be prioritized for building weapons.

After leaving the production workshop, Li Ye unexpectedly received some pleasant news.

While mining resources in this colossal cave, the Qiming unexpectedly discovered a medium-sized level 4 Thunder Vein.

528 units of level 4 Thunder Ore, 1 accompanying level 4 Thunder Crystal.

"A level 4 Thunder Crystal? That could sell for a lot of money!" Li Ye thought to himself.

Based on the standard of 300 units of level 4 rare ore and one level 4 rare crystal, Tomorrow can build a level 4 Thunder Cannon—or rather, a Thunder Main Cannon.

Unfortunately, Li Ye did not have any design blueprints on hand.

He quickly made a decision to use all of the Thunder Ore to create electromagnetic pulse grenades for special forces.

The level 4 Thunder Crystal will be kept for now.

During the following time, Li Ye also went to the middle level of the Tomorrow to observe the construction of the small city on the floor.

Since acquiring the production project for Level 4 city gel, the construction speed of small-scale cities has increased dramatically.

The city's neighborhood committee arranged for people to use local materials in the super-giant cave to obtain large amounts of water, sand, gravel, and soil, which were then handed over to Liye to produce urban gel in the workshop.

With the help of the Engineer, more and more residential houses sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

The residents of Tomorrow have a great passion for this small city.

However, just as Li Ye planned, both building materials and house construction projects require a large amount of contribution points to purchase.

However, not all residents have enough contribution points.

In order to earn as many contribution points as possible, the residents began to enthusiastically participate in the work, and some even volunteered to serve as combat personnel.

The neighborhood committee then reported a problem to Li Ye.

That is, apart from positions in the army, navy and air force, the number of job positions inside the Tomorrow is actually very limited.

Surprised, Li Ye silently took stock of the internal job positions in his mind.

Urban sanitation, city maintenance, maintenance and upkeep of land, sea and air vehicles, public security personnel, members of urban neighborhood committees, steel forging plants, waterworks, power plants, shipyards, textile mills, and satellite control stations.
All these factors combined mean that quite a few job opportunities have been created.

The problem is that there are more than 50,000 people on board the Tomorrow.
