Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

The character's portrait will change with the degree of injury, which is quite detailed.

Low other attributes can be slowly recovered, but it is very dangerous if the health value is below the safety line.

Shen Yi opened the store, searched around inside, and finally found medical equipment.

Nanomedical device, this thing only costs 5 Star Qiong and can restore 50 health points.

He withdrew the cavalry back to the capital, and then used the mouse to drag the nanomedical device onto the portrait of Firefly.

The Q version of Firefly immediately opened its arms and praised the sun.

As his health recovered, Liuying's armor also returned to its shiny silver appearance.

It looks like it just came out of the factory.

As we all know, when health is restored in the game, damaged clothing will also be restored.

This makes perfect sense and makes common sense, right?

-

Grammer Empire, on the battlefield outside the capital.

The swarm of insects was like a black cloth crumpled by the wind, flying freely in the air.

"Full fire! Don't stop!"

The commander-in-chief's orders were transmitted to the minds of all the cavalrymen through the neural network built into the helmet.

In an instant, majestic flames splashed like red paint, a torrent of bullets gathered into iron snakes and soared into the sky, and straight beams of energy burst into brilliance and then disappeared in a flash!

The scorching heat baked the sky, and the countless fiery trails left by the flying bullets kept flashing in the dark sky.

"They're coming, prepare to defend! Heavy troops switch to defensive stance and activate energy shields!"

As the command spread throughout the army, the remaining armored forces seemed to be unaffected by the large-scale casualties.

The cavalrymen in heavy armor led the charge, like steel walls blocking their comrades, with energy beams on their backs shooting up into the sky.

Thousands of beams of light intertwined together, once again forming a light shield full of energy.

This time, the light shield was not engulfed by the insect swarm as it was last time.

After half a minute of charging, the two sentry guns finally spewed out flames in the direction of the insect swarm.

Two powerful bombs tore through the sky, and the air along the way was burned by the high temperature and made a sizzling sound.

The explosive bomb was like a meteor streaking through the night sky, smashing straight into the insect swarm—

"Boom!"

As a deafening roar sounded, the explosive bombs that penetrated the insect swarm burst out with extremely dazzling light, illuminating the entire sky like daytime, as if a second sun had risen.

The earth shook, the sky was filled with dust, and a huge mushroom cloud, like a storm of sand and dust, slowly rose above the huge battlefield.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the headquarters once again ordered the entire territory to open fire, asking all cavalry to unleash all their firepower.

Finally, the battle was over.

Liuying knelt on the ground exhausted. Looking around, she saw scorched earth, the remains of termites, and the broken fragments of her own kind.

Thousands of cavalrymen were wiped out in the blink of an eye like mowing grass.

Is this the meaning of the birth of the Iron Cavalry?

From the moment they were born, the Iron Cavalry were ready to sacrifice.

[The first rule of Grammer's military code is that a knight should be proud of his birth.]

Dedicating everything to the Queen, these days will probably continue until my death.

However, judging by today’s sacrifice rate, that day should be approaching soon.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the command issued a retreat order and withdrew all the cavalry back to the capital.

Wounded cavalrymen will be rescued by mechanics and field doctors.

Liuying knew that she was injured, so she went to the medical department with other injured people.

However, as the effect of the pain nerve paralysis drug faded, the pain of the injury still did not come.

She was confused because her armor had just been cut by a silverfish's sharp blade and blood was flowing from her thighs and abdomen.

But now, there was no trace of injury at the place where she was injured.

Even the damaged mecha was miraculously restored!

What on earth is going on?

Chapter 5 National Policy: Science and Technology is the Primary Productive Force

[You successfully used the "Nanomedical Device" on AR-26710]

[Health restored by 50 points, increased favorability by 10 points]

[HP: 100/100]

[Favorability: 1 heart (11/100)]

When Shen Yi saw the prompt box pop up from the system, he didn't immediately proceed to the next step, but instead showed a look of reflection -

Oh no! I was fighting for two rounds and forgot to touch Firefly's head!

Although I switched to the character's perspective, it was a bit unbearable to be patted on the head while I was busy fighting for my life.

But for Shen Yi, this was a complete waste of two opportunities to increase his favorability!

Alas, what a huge loss.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s do something else first.

Currently, the Grammer civilization controlled by Shen Yi has only one capital, and this capital does not have any military, economic, industrial, political, technological or cultural areas.

You know me, I have always followed the fine traditions of a technologically strong country.

As the saying goes, a strong country starts with a strong army, and a strong army starts with technology!

Science and technology are the primary productive forces!

Obviously, the game also encourages players to take the technological path, because if you want to unlock the technology tree, you must first build a scientific research center.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, how can technology develop if there is no place to study science?

You can't just explore the map, come across a tribal village, and then have them share their nuclear fusion technology, right?

Currently, the capital provides 30 points of productivity per turn. Building a military factory requires 120 points of productivity, and a scientific research center requires 200 points of productivity.

The Military Factory provides 5 points of production to the civilization. In addition, it can speed up the production of combat units by 30%.

Shen Yi can't use it for the time being.

The swarm of insects that suddenly appeared just now is a combat tutorial arranged by the system. According to normal game design ideas, players will be given some time to develop after the tutorial.

So now you can prioritize improving technology. Once the technology is improved, you can unlock the technology tree, which is much more powerful than the low-level mass troop flow.

Shen Yi selected a cell and designated it as a technology area.

In the technology area, scientific buildings constructed will provide some additional bonuses.

A research center requires 200 production, 50 common materials, and 20 precious materials.

Shen Yi consumed some of it when building the turret previously, but the remaining was more than enough to build a scientific research center.

He opened the construction menu, selected the research center in the technology column, and confirmed the construction.

A group of little people suddenly appeared in the selected technology area, each holding a hammer, wrench and other tools, and busying themselves in the dusty construction site.

If you zoom in to the maximum, you can even see the appearance of each little person, just like the characters in The Sims.

This game is the same as Civilization. In the early stages, there is almost nothing you need to do except constantly clicking on the next turn.

All Shen Yi can do in each round is touch Liuying's head. After all, apart from that, there is basically no other interaction in the early stage.

It would be great if it could be connected to the Internet, and the character development interface could be decorated with ChatGPT. Players only need to input text, and the other party will respond according to the situation, simulating a real-life conversation scene.

But I guess we have to wait for the official version for this feature?

After a period of time, the scientific research center was completed.

This building provides 10 science points per turn to the civilization.

Of course, the most important thing is that the technology tree will be opened only after the scientific research center is unlocked.

Shen Yi opened the technology tree. In addition to the special technologies that were unlocked by default at the beginning of civilization, he could choose two technologies to research.

1. Modular Engineering

2. Adaptive Combat Algorithm

Modular engineering can improve the construction process and optimize work efficiency, thereby reducing the required productivity for various types of construction projects.

The adaptive combat algorithm allows combat units to intelligently switch enemy response modes during battle.

Simply put, it is automatic combat.

Shen Yi is currently not useful in combat, so it is best to focus on optimizing production.

He chooses Modular Engineering, which requires 200 technology points to unlock.

Based on the current technology value of 22 points per turn, it will take 10 turns.

"Ah, so this is why the early stages are so boring. Basically, you have to wait for everything."

Shen Yi sighed, and after selecting the research direction, he began to build an ordinary college.

Just like Civilization VI, each area has its own unique buildings, and the buildings have different levels. Low-level buildings must be built before high-level buildings can be built.

In addition, some special buildings require unlocking corresponding technologies or policies before they can be built.

Ordinary colleges are also used to increase science and technology values, 5 points per turn.

In addition, you can also increase the civilization's bonus by 5 gold coins/turn.

Could it be that they are collecting tuition fees?

Having said that, this game has no population or food elements, and the labor force seems to be generated from the void.

After building the academy, Shen Yi looked at the current technology value of 30/turn and nodded with satisfaction.

The technological value has temporarily reached the standard, so the next step is to improve productivity.

After all, productivity is the core of construction. Without productivity, nothing can be done.

The way to improve productivity, in addition to unlocking specific technologies, is naturally to build industrial zones and industrial buildings.

Shen Yi designated an industrial zone and was about to build an industrial center when a resource shortage alert popped up:

[Insufficient materials, 50 common materials and 20 precious materials are needed to build an industrial center]

Oh, yes, materials!

I have been playing for a long time, but I still haven't figured out how to obtain the materials.

He clicked on the tutorial guide and looked for ways to obtain materials.

The methods for obtaining common materials and precious materials are the same, that is, through gathering tasks.

For example, logging and mining.

This gameplay is probably inspired by Red Alert.

After the technology is unlocked, some buildings can also provide materials stably.

As for forests and mines, there are plenty of them on the map.

Combat units are needed to carry out collection missions. Shen Yi currently has two combat units, which can be sent out.

He selected two cavalry regiments and sent them to the forest and mines respectively.

As a smoke effect spread from the cell, the resource number in the upper left corner began to increase slowly.
