Chapter 1049: Army Fortresses, Mountain and Sea Pass (Part T

From a defensive standpoint, Shanhaiguan is undoubtedly a mythical fortress of its time.

But its advantages are not limited to this, it also has three remaining Five-Element Engines to provide power.

A card that satisfies the daily power needs on its surface and prevents being surrounded.

There are still two towers left to stack output...

One is used for ground power supply, and the other is used for air power supply.

Small-caliber Jiao cannons were once equipped at the Xiguan Pass, but their performance was poor and they have long been phased out.

Lu Cheng intends to use a larger caliber dragon cannon to suppress the enemy ground forces from a distance, reducing their number.

As is well known, dragons are born from qi, build their palaces and cloud-dream swamps, and come in a multitude of forms. They can fly and excel in both ranged and melee combat, and their semi-mechanized ability to ascend into the heavens makes them excellent mounts for the feathered guard's martial arts unit.

...while large creatures like earth dragons and stone dragons, unsuitable for being modified into flying mounts, are more likely to be kept within fortresses.... They can utilize rock materials to repair the fortress walls' durability, and also serve as siege engines, hurling deadly earthen magic bombardment at enemy forces.

Since earth dragons have no bonds between them, they cannot combine into a joint main gun like the Three Sisters of the Sky. Shanhaiguan is expected to equip three single-firing earth dragon cannons.

But the dragon is not a flood dragon....

Its growth spans millennia, even tens of thousands of years.

Having access to the Cloud Dream and Dragon Palace, giving birth to young dragons is easy. However, raising one to hundreds of meters in length takes centuries, and it also requires equipping them with mechanisms and weapons, as well as combat training....

"Time" ≈ fairy qi, top-tier resources are a fortune....

At least in this era, Lu Cheng, this celestial being, can't mass-produce adult dragons.

During the construction period of Shan Hai, the Dragon Palace only produced one dragon... a 203m-diameter loli cannon.

But firepower has definitely surpassed that of the 32-headed, 510m Xuanjiao at Hangu Pass....

There are many more secondary guns....

Each side of the Shanhaiguan Pass has ten movable firepower platforms. The south side also has a Shenlei airfield, which can be used by the Imperial Guard for takeoff and landing.

Each firepower platform is equipped with large battle formations and sword arrays, capable of accommodating a historical high of 10,000 sword cultivators and 30,000 spell cultivators simultaneously.

Moreover, Lu Cheng built five celestial observatories in the east, west, south, north, and center to expand the capacity of simultaneous launches. Each observatory was equipped with a Heavenly Measurement Instrument. The total number of flying swords that could be launched simultaneously was five times that of Yanguan Pass (which previously had only one observatory, destroyed by an angelic air raid)!

If the angelic legions of Colosi were still around and attacked Mount Hai Pass, they would be engulfed by the Nine Dragons Fire Cover. As long as they were detected by the Hun Tian Yi, a torrent of flying swords would directly overwhelm them....

Under this kind of weaponry, the energy supply of the [Shanhaiguan] fortress-class mobile unit still has a surplus.

An excess energy supply is necessary because the design of the Mountain Sea Pass is intended to be airdropped behind enemy lines, tying down a large amount of firepower.

After transporting by the Taihang Mountains airdrop, it is very important to fly slowly on the ground.

But now it's immobile because it hasn't been built yet, and the pass's life support system hasn't been established either.... If all the equipment were in place, Bai Qi wouldn't choose to train his troops here.

.......

Su Dingfang's 6,000 mountain and sea fortress infantry were specially trained for trench warfare within the city walls, used to defend Shanhaiguan in the worst, most unimaginable conditions.

As for what constitutes an inconceivable environment.

Su Diding thought for a moment.

For example, suddenly being thrown into the enemy's encirclement, the ground trembled, we were still sinking, and there was extreme heat all around... poison gas

"This...this plot. Those gentlemen in the palace, did their brains get flooded for us to end up in this situation..." A soldier still had something in his mouth, speaking unclearly.

In the last generation, the main food for the army was still pickled pork, dried fish, and vegetables had some improvements, but just bay leaves.

After the Five-Colored Soil was laid in Yundmengze, its yield became extraordinarily abundant.

The steamed pheasant before me, its meat tender and smooth, sweet on the palate with an aftertaste of marsh spirit grass.

Today's lunch staple options also include steamed buns, with fillings such as osmanthus and cured pork...

These dishes were airlifted from Chang'an, brimming with energy and delicious flavor. After arrival, they were steamed using the high-temperature spirit steam from the fortress center's steam engine.

Lü Cheng had the ideal of providing soldiers with a hot meal of surplus energy at any time during the Millennium War. In the era of ascension, it was finally partially realized...

The rations for ordinary mountain and sea warriors are already plentiful.

But the provisions for the spirit troops supplying each fortress faction's camps are barely satisfactory.

The Shanhai Organ Mech is primarily used for driving battle mechs, and its demand for pure energy is not high.

But cultivators who fight as part of a joint military force are much harder to deal with....

Fasting means not eating grains, but it's impossible to not consume energy. Immortals still need to hold feasts and refine pills.

The apothecary providing support to the military monks did not see a complete replacement.

Although theoretically, the Spirit-Vaporizing Cauldron is far more efficient than previous Five Elements Fire Gates Cauldrons, due to this era, the Spirit-Vaporizing technology hasn't reached its peak yet and cannot be miniaturized.

Therefore, the miniature spirit-vapor alchemy cauldron only exists in theory.

As for why not build a huge bronze cauldron...

Lu Cheng has so much spiritual energy to burn, he also doesn't have that many medicinal herbs to offer!

Once, you can only fill half a pot. Isn't that wasteful

However, the fact that the Lingzheng Dan Ding was not developed doesn't mean there were no improvements to the meals in the sect's military camp.

Lu Cheng is a veteran support staff member. He still has the ability to

help.

Currently, Yundream Marsh is producing a large amount of spirit beasts and wild plant products.

Meat and vegetables can be used for military rations and civilian consumption, while animal materials can be used in industry. However, items like crystals can be supplied to sects.

But as everyone knows, consuming raw spirit crystals, absorbing the chaotic energy of heaven and earth, and directly extracting untreated impurities from spirit stones is absolutely not advisable.

You will be added to the "obsessed" state, unless you are sure that you are the protagonist of a certain novel.

The "spiritual vapor and alchemy furnace" is still on the tech tree, indicating that the "refining" technology has not been unlocked.

But the techniques of spiritual distillation and high-temperature, high-spiritual pressure purification have already entered the experimental stage....

Since the energy supply at Mount Hai Guan is relatively abundant, wouldn't it be possible to directly utilize some of the high temperature and high spiritual pressure generated by the Ling Steam Mechanism Arrays to refine raw materials This could potentially produce high-grade spirit stones, spiritual blood essence, and brilliant crystal shards. Perhaps this could alleviate the immense logistical pressure on front-line sects needing supplies easily broken can't fool anyone."Honey, we need to leave here immediately. The more contact we have, the greater the risk of being discovered. Let's find a nearby deserted planet and set up our unit...
