attack city

In the next few days, Blackstone City did not come to disturb them. Only other cities in the periphery passed by from time to time. Even if they were discovered, they would not come to investigate.

The whole process went smoothly.

Returning to the trading field, of course, they will be together. During this period, they must act together to avoid being seized by Black Rock City.

But they didn't find Black Rock City in the trading yard.

After resting for a few days and digesting the ore, I went back for the second time and still didn't find Blackstone City passing by.

Next, they continued to mine there, but Blackstone City was not seen. They guessed that they were going to the iron ore veins in the northwest, or they found that they couldn't get any benefits, so they left to do other things first.

This was what Xiang Yang and the others wanted. Since no one would interfere, they continued digging until the plan was completed.

"If we continue to come here in the future, we will still have to unite several cities."

Xiang Yang said: "I often go to the Mohe Trading Place now, but less people go to the Crocodile Valley. You may need to find another city."

Although they have to find people from each other, and two or three more cities may know about the mine, there seems to be no way.

Before entering the county level, Xiang Yang did not dare to dig in that mine alone.

"It turns out that you have been over there in Mohe, no wonder I haven't seen you much in Crocodile Valley." Anpingcheng said, "We also plan to go to Mohe, and Crocodile Valley will also go there, but we won't go there often."

Because of the upgrade, it is now at the county level.

The Lord of Anping City is still relatively young, less than thirty years old.

The Mohe side is more dangerous than the Crocodile Valley, and the conversion consumption of fresh water is slightly larger. Because the reservoir of the Crocodile Valley is cleaner and is made up of mountains and rivers, even drinking it directly will most likely be fine.

On the Mohe side, water can only be obtained from the river, and purification consumes a lot of money, but there are more resources there and the metal sales market is larger.

"You all go to the Mohe Trading Place. Let's hang out there for a few years."

Shahecheng said: "I have stayed here in Crocodile Valley for too long. I feel that if it continues like this, it will be difficult to go any further."

Apparently their group of warriors also want to go out there.

Crocodile Valley is indeed very peaceful. Within a month and a half, there is only one high-end non-temporary trading place in Mohe.

They can see opportunities in county-level cities, except for the occasional ones that pass through Crocodile Valley, they are basically around the Xishan Mine.

In fact, Xiang Yang knew and heard that most of the first trading venues encountered by the new human cities after leaving the Novice Continent were relatively safe.

Whether it was an accident or a coincidence, I don't know.

So, all three cities went to the Mohe Trading Ground.

This way, next time they go to dig that copper mine, they can continue to go together, and there is no need to disclose it to more cities. As long as there is a need, no one is willing to share such a high-quality mine with others.

Half a month later, he successfully returned to Mohe Trading Ground.

The three cities are also doing their own things, and they will not continue to go to the Xishan Mine in the short term.

Because a lot of copper has been obtained this time, it will take time to continue refining it into purer bronze or red copper.

Xiang Yang did not go to the northwest of Xishan Mine to dig iron ore, but directly exchanged copper ingots for a lot of steel. Shahe City and Anping City would probably do the same.

Because per unit weight, copper is much more expensive than iron.

Among the three commonly used metals: iron, copper and aluminum, steel is the cheapest because it is the most abundant, followed by aluminum and copper the most expensive.

Therefore, the value of that high-quality copper mine is quite high.

On the third day after returning, after Shenlong City completed an aluminum plate transaction, it received an upgrade prompt. It was only half a month longer than the maximum safe operation time of fifteen months before being upgraded to a county-level city.

"Prepare for one night and leave the trading field tomorrow and go to the forest in the east."

Xiang Yang informed them that the forest to the east of the trading ground was where they usually trained and hunted, and he planned to go there to upgrade.

Of course there is no problem in upgrading in the trading field. It is very safe here, much safer than in the wild.

However, when the city is upgraded, its appearance changes drastically. As the city is upgraded, the city's combat weapons will also be upgraded, and they will be forcibly stretched out. After the upgrade is completed, they will be reset again.

And the newly obtained urban combat weapons will be exposed to the outside.

If there is such a big movement in city upgrades, nearby cities will know which urban combat weapons they have, as well as almost all information such as the number and location of urban combat weapons, and all information will be exposed immediately.

In the event of a war, if this information is known, it is likely that completely targeted tactics will need to be faced.

Although as time goes by, the more famous a city becomes, the more information will be known to other cities. In the end, information such as urban combat weapons cannot be hidden.

But no one will like it being acquired by so many cities so easily.

Therefore, when upgrading, it is best that no other cities in the surrounding area are present to watch.

Early the next morning, after arriving at his destination and confirming that there was no danger nearby, Xiang Yang began to upgrade Shenlong City.

[Dragon City begins to evolve...]

The adjustment this time is still very large, especially at the height of the city. People in the control room can feel that the entire space is rising, just like a slow elevator, going all the way up.

The control room, as the control center, is located approximately in the middle as usual and needs to be moved every time it is upgraded.

When you reach the county level, the height will increase more than the area, so the number of floors will increase more, so that you can fully feel the changes.

[After Shenlong City evolves, you will have the opportunity to obtain a city cannon or a city machine gun again. Please make your choice: city cannon, city machine gun]

"City cannon." County-level land cities will once again send long-range or short-range thermal weapons. There is nothing to consider. It must be city cannon.

[City Cannon, confirmed]

[City cannon constructed successfully]

[Dragon City has two opportunities to evolve large attack weapons into urban combat weapons. Two weapon types have been detected, a total of twelve. You can choose any two to evolve:]

[Evolvable weapon type 1: artillery (fixed name: city cannon), quantity 5]

[Evolvable weapon type two: machine gun (fixed name: urban machine gun), quantity 7]

This time they already had experience, and their artillery technology was much better than before, so they built five super-large-caliber earth cannons.

The 20mm caliber heavy machine gun has also met the requirements to be recognized as an evolution. After all, in the wasteland world it is just a machine gun, but in a world like Terra, it is also a machine gun.

Of course, the requirements are only met at the county level, but not at the county level.

[You can select one type of weapon each time, just select the serial number. 】

[Please choose the first evolveable weapon?]

"Evolvable weapon type one."

Machine guns are much more difficult to make than cannons, but not many people would choose to give up cannons.

Although urban machine guns are extremely useful as short-range fire suppression, cities with the ability to build machine guns can just use machine guns, which means they have a shorter range and weaker power.

For hitting small targets at close range, this shortcoming in range and power can be completely ignored.

What's more, Shenlong City also has a giant crossbow machine. In addition to being inferior to machine guns in terms of range and speed, in terms of power alone, it is already stronger than machine guns at the town level.

The important thing is that the giant crossbow is cheap and requires only a small amount of wood and steel, so there is almost no need to consider the issue of consumption, and the consumption of urban machine guns is not much less than that of urban cannons.

["Evolvable Weapon Type 1: Artillery (Fixed Name: City Cannon)" has been selected, quantity 5.]

【Please make a specific choice?】

A map of the city's internal areas appeared in front of Xiang Yang, in which five homemade artillery pieces were highlighted and displayed in red.

Xiang Yang stretched out his hand a little and chose the door placed on a platform at the top of the city.

Once this position is successfully evolved, it will be transformed into an anti-aircraft city cannon. At any time, as long as there are many, there will always be one anti-aircraft cannon.

[The first large-scale attack weapon that can evolve into an urban combat weapon has been confirmed and is starting to evolve...]

【Evolution completed】

[Please choose the second evolveable weapon?]

"Evolvable weapon type one." As usual, this time Xiang Yang chose a cannon on the front outer wall of the city, so he had a total of three conventional city cannons and one air defense city cannon.

The sound of evolution soon sounded again, followed by other facilities.

[The industrial park is upgraded to an industrial zone and has the opportunity to obtain a factory again. Please choose from the following factory categories:...]

There are more than thirty factories displayed this time, and they are much higher-end than those at the village level, with many complex industrial products.

"Amphibious landing craft manufacturing plant." Xiang Yang also considered this choice carefully and consulted with the technical staff.

The last time they accepted refugees from the maritime city, they received many skilled workers who made amphibious landing craft, speedboats and other maritime vessels.

Although Cheetah City does not produce transport vehicles, they have many skilled workers in this field. Otherwise, they would not be able to modify them, and it would be impossible to produce off-road vehicles.

Transformation is much more difficult than production.

Therefore, defeating Cheetah City not only gave them the equipment to make transport vehicles and light off-road vehicles, but also many skilled workers.

As long as this amphibious landing craft factory is obtained, Shenlong City will have the production capacity of most vehicles and ships across the sea and land, and it will also be the most efficient way to utilize those skilled workers.

[The industrial zone has been selected to house an amphibious landing craft manufacturing factory, confirmed]

[Amphibious landing craft manufacturing plant was successfully constructed]

[Shenlong City evolved successfully and reached the county level]

[The farm is upgraded to a farming area]

[The duck house was upgraded to a duck farm]

【Unlock Livestock Farm】

【Unlock Freezer】

[Unlock the function of adjusting facilities within the city]

【Unlock sonar】

[Unlock torpedo and depth charge launchers]

[Unlock the third layer of defensive armor]

【Unlock Nursing Home】

[Unlock Intermediate School]

"Finally torpedoes and sonar appear."

Torpedoes and depth charge launchers are just official facility names, and we usually just call them torpedoes.

Just now Xiang Yang was surprised that at the town level, Shenlong City had one more weapon evolution slot than the regular land cities, but at the county level, it was the same as the regular land cities.

A regular land city at the county level also has two evolution quotas, plus a city cannon or city machine gun as a gift.

Unlocking torpedoes means that Shenlong City still has one more urban combat weapon than a regular land city.

This is similar to when you upgraded to the village level. At that time, there was an extra energy cannon, which was unlocked directly without making a choice.

The echo pattern of the sonar is also displayed on the large radar screen, which can be converted to each other, or one screen can be split into two images and displayed separately.

But at the moment, Xiang Yang has no plans to go to sea.

Therefore, this function can only be used when crossing the river, but it will still be safer than other cities when crossing the river.

After all, many rivers are not only very wide, but also very deep, and it takes a lot of time to cross them.

Xiang Yang opened the city's internal area map.

After the city's internal facilities adjustment function is unlocked, you can adjust various facilities within a city directly in the internal area map.

This is also different from when the city's internal area map was unlocked.

There is no adjustment function for urban facilities, and only the room structure inside the residential area can be adjusted.

This is because when the name of the residential area was still the urban living room, all unit suites were the same size, excluding bathrooms and the like. In the early days, one room became two rooms at the village level.

After being upgraded to a residential area for urban residents, the unit suites have increased in size, but the interior is still the same, with two bedrooms and one living room.

Some families need more internal rooms, and even giving them larger suites is useless. It is impossible to tear them down and rebuild them. They can only be obtained by adjusting the number of internal rooms through the system.

But the facility itself cannot be adjusted.

The meaning of the adjustment function of urban internal facilities is that the facility itself can be adjusted, not the components inside the facility, including the location of the entire facility that can be exchanged with other facilities.

For example, in urban residential areas, the current maximum population size at the county level is 1,000 people, with a total of ten districts.

Each area is treated as an independent facility. If you want to adjust it, you can only adjust the area of ​​​​the entire area or move it to another location, rather than a single suite in a certain area.

After the floor space becomes smaller, the number of suites inside will become smaller and the number of people it can accommodate will also decrease, but the size of a single suite will not change.

Of course, there is an upper limit to changes in floor space.

This adjustment can only be planned within one day after the upgrade. If there are any adjustment plans in the future, they can only wait until the next city upgrade.

There are also a few facilities that cannot be adjusted, mainly special categories such as control rooms, city squares and city atriums.

For example, like a city atrium, once it is adjusted to other places, it cannot be called an atrium. This is determined by the location and will run up and down all floors.

That is to say, except for the highest floors, almost all the floors below can be directly lowered through the air through the atrium through the sliding rods beside the giant load-bearing columns.

The sliding pole has always existed, and after entering the village level, a handshake holster was added.

It’s just that now it’s basically not used except for training. Safety is a problem when sliding down from such a high place.

The elevator function is safer, but not slower.

The slider is more like an emergency exit.

Xiang Yang adjusted the Wrath of the City, the observatory, and some internal passages.

Urban Fury is slightly adjusted to the back, which increases the blind spot for attacks in front and slightly reduces the attack range.

But it will be easier to deal with targets behind and on the sides of the city, so that the attack range of City Fury can easily reach 360 degrees.
