Chapter 1048: Army Fortresses, Shanhai Pass

ut I couldn't get in. I've been guarding here for seven days and six nights. Tonight, I'm going to return empty-handed again. It will be difficult to invite him again soon, or else I wouldn't need rei.........

Yu Jing Shan Customs.

The main structure of the pass has been basically completed, but the facilities are not yet complete.

Su Dingfang's forces, having been sent here in advance to train and station themselves, numbered 4,000 new recruits and 2,000 veterans.

Just arrived yesterday, I received a "quota" of supplies from the Guan office.

What is "na"

A standard issue ring is set as the limit, once it is full it is considered one ration.

It looks like a ring, but inside it houses cutting-edge space technology - the fourfold heaven technology, which compresses space. There is also support from the Whale Clan's technology, making the actual space inside quite substantial.

The "Bing Jie" of the pawn contains a cubic meter of cold crystal and one meter cubed of standard atmosphere, this is basic material.

There is still a lot of personal space left. You can exchange it for anything you like with military merit, and even the restrictions could be relaxed further.

Su Dingfang received supplies yesterday, causing the soldiers to conduct an on-site inventory. Their morale and energy levels were almost unaffected by the lack of supplies, but there was a shortage of food and beverages in the cold crystals.

The young general was full of youthful vigor and wanted to confront Bai Qi, the great general, with his theories, but he was suppressed by Bai Qi.

In just half a day, a large amount of fresh ingredients from Yunmeng arrived, including wine, meat and delicacies.

"I heard that they sold the old cured meat, and that they brought in a large shipment of fresh ingredients from Yunmeng to stockpile at Shanhai Pass. It seems it's true after all..."

Has the Grand Marshal of the Jade Army always been so wealthy and generous

Su Dingfang was a little surprised.

Though young, he has always been diligently studying historical and military texts. He possesses a deep understanding of strategy and tactics, and even dabbles in numerology and divination.

According to the Records of the Grand Historian, since the beginning of the Thousand-Year War, they have always fought "tactical intercalation," which is essentially a desperate situation.

How poor is it

It is said that a set of city-wall armor can be used for thousands of years before being retired.

Moreover, according to historical accounts, Beihai General Lu Cheng was renowned for his meticulous planning and resourcefulness.

Whenever there was a military council, the discussion about energy supply would always lead to chaos. He would argue with the generals and haggle for hours before finally reaching an agreement.

But what I saw with my own eyes was not the case.

Historians being dishonest is a grave sin.

"General, what the book says is true. The Commander-in-Chief didn't have many sons before... Recently, we don't know either." A group of old soldiers were also confused.

Did... someone just come into a fortune

.......

Lu Cheng not only made a fortune, he was almost driven to death by it.

After culture gradually recovered, energy became abundant.

Kunlun practically works day and night, and almost all the spiritual energy it produces is exchanged for combat rounds.

Using these rounds, Lu Cheng gradually added a large amount of historical culture and mythological legends to the tabletop.

The Qi steaming cloud dream ze again triggered an energy revolution, and the energy revolution naturally led to a technological revolution, resulting in a fundamental improvement in energy utilization efficiency in this era.

Energy is naturally better in greater abundance, but previous industrial scales were built during times of scarcity and are therefore relatively small.

All the industrial-grade items in my possession are fully loaded, but it would cost a lot of spirit energy to activate them.

Lu Cheng wanted to produce a large amount of energy as time, but unfortunately, only fairy qi could activate the law of longevity, and his fairy qi output was also limited.

The energy of Heaven and Earth is still growing.

For a moment, it actually triggered an excess of spiritual energy buildup.

Either Lu Cheng ascends to stardom, or consumes energy, or.... the table surface initiates internal warfare, or unleashes a spiritual energy tide, with nearly half of the card energies overloading and being destroyed.

Lu Cheng, after much deliberation on the current Qi utilization efficiency, constructed a second mythical naval base --- [Penglai].

With all the cultural cards in hand, and after three hundred years of construction time (Kunlun fairy qi was converted into time, making the actual time used less than a hundred years), burning through all the fairy qi, it was accomplished in one fell swoop.

Currently, I possess two mythical industrial shipyards --- [Dragon Palace] and [Penglai].

If we say that the Dragon Palace was built upon the foundation of Old Beiming Qingqiu, repairing and renovating it piece by piece, then Penglai is completely a new design. Once completed, it's top-of-the-line, with industrial capacity more than double that of before.

And, if the two mythical naval ports are linked, they can activate the construction of engineering cards twice as large as before.

For example, the new generation of escort weaponry.

The Gateway-class can be retired now, the new generation of mythical Bastion-class escort armament is no longer just a concept that exists only in blueprints.

In the design, Fortress class is divided into sea fortress and land fortress, the difference lies only in whether there is starry sky paint.

Due to the limited reserves of stardust in the desert, and with no replenishment from the Central World, Lu Cheng can only construct land-based fortresses at present.

Of course, if they had enough stardust, they could also transform into battleship-class escorts in minutes.

In design, the Bastion class will not be equipped with battleships' overly powerful artifacts, saving all the energy allocated to stacking defense levels and air defense levels, which should be the highest in the current era.

The [Shanhai Pass] No. Army's Spiritual Energy Fortress, the core of the fairy spirits was originally intended to be used by Lu Cheng - retired fairy spirits from the Sishui Pass: Nezha and the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother.

But think about it, even laborers should have a break, let alone [Shanhaiguan], which is currently an army fortress, and Shui Xian Ling wouldn't be very suitable.

He was racking his brains, wondering when to use that card...

Zhen Yuanzi and Taiyi Zhenren volunteered to guard the Shanhai Pass...

Knowing that Lu Cheng had money, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't possibly not come. As for Taiyi Zhenren, he came to stand in for his disciple... earn some merit.

【The Great Immortal Zhenyuan (Earth Immortal)]:

(Adds a mythological spatial shield,乾坤一袖, to the current fortress. Each attack has a chance to absorb/deflect damage of any type not exceeding red 1 star. If absorption is triggered, all wood-type cards in the fortress will be charged. This shield has level 1 law defense and level 2 law resistance.)

【Taisheng Zhenren】： (Adds a legendary element shield - Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover to the current fortress, reducing magic damage taken (significantly reduces the effect of attacks above 10 stars on Gold), igniting melee attackers, causing 5-8 star fire elemental damage)

........

Aren't their skills a little too tanky...

Zhen Yuanzi's skills are too overwhelming. Compared to the peak achievements of the previous generation, like Yu Men Guan who won the Halo War...

The special skills of Yumen Pass are simply trash.......

However, as soon as two special cards are played, the energy cost goes up significantly.

The entire Shanhai Pass needs to be equipped with four "Five Elements Engines" and one "Five Elements Steam Array Mechanism".

The Five Elements Steam Engine was specifically designed to power the "Celestial Shield". A previous generation engine provided energy for the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier".

This makes the entire Shanhai Guan table game very large in scope and physically heavy.

The fortress structure can only use four [Moon Rock Fortress Walls], which can resist gold 9-star physical damage, reducing damage by 10 stars. Coupled with the Universe Shield and Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, it is actually enough in practice.

Unless the opponent has a red two-star physical/magical attack, or a one-star with law attacks, the fortress's armored body is basically impossible to penetrate quickly.

Such attack methods, in this era, cannot be said to be nonexistent, but they should at least be very rare.

At least Lu Cheng himself would find it hard to come up with.

To be frank, the Xianzhou's main gun doesn't wear any armor and can still withstand a few shots.

The main behemoth of the Whale Clan, [Sūyú], that carries the gravity cannon with its lead-law is indeed difficult to deal with, but first and foremost, that thing usually can't be fired at all.

Even if it hits, it's impossible to crush the main structure of the Mythical Fortress with one blow and squeeze it into two dimensions... with a wooden frame and pointed it at us, not even letting me speak!” Pipa complained."Sis, this is frickin' iron!" Lu Cheng complained. "By the way, where's Master Lu"He said he went to host a desig...
