135: Chapter 135 The Electrical Age, The New Zerg

Upon placing the Astrology Tower, all resource production facilities within the territory immediately gained a permanent 20% increase in output.

Furthermore, all future loot obtained would be upgraded by one Rank.

The value contained within this was immeasurable, and Su Yang was very satisfied with it.

As expected, anything produced by Great Qin is a masterpiece; not a single building is useless.

After the Heroic building, the rewards for this event still included two buff effects and the power of resource manifestation.

"Heroic Triumph (Rank 3): Reduces war consumption by 30% whenever led by a Hero unit."

War consumption includes not only fuel and ammunition for soldier units, but also fuel for vehicles and the roads paved for their advancement.

These reductions in consumption were also very useful, as they could greatly reduce military expenditures, accelerate exploration speeds, and increase the scope of exploration.

One Rank 3 buff and one Rank 2 buff combined to reduce total war consumption by 50%.

It was simply too amazing!

Finally, there was the double resource manifestation.

Su Yang chose a hub city in the southeast for one manifestation area, and a Rocket Force unit along the southeast coast for the other.

Restoring the hub city would allow the entire disaster area to accelerate its reconstruction, while restoring the artillery unit would restore the military strength along the southeast coast.

This was to prevent other countries from trying to pressure the Dragon Country from outside the Forbidden Ground, thereby influencing his choices within the Forbidden Ground.

There had been many such incidents in the first two rounds of the Forbidden Ground.

A small country might obtain the address of a special area or some important loot.

And after other major powers found out, unable to strike because they did not know the location within the Forbidden Ground, they would directly apply pressure in the real world.

If they did not hand over the resources, they would directly attack the country to which it belonged.

Now, this method was almost useless against Su Yang.

Although the Dragon Country had suffered heavy losses many times, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse; its military strength was still something that ordinary countries could not contend with.

And now that Su Yang had restored the southeast Rocket Force position, the military strength of the Dragon Country had recovered by a large margin.

Even if the United States or Japan applied pressure, the Dragon Country itself would have the ability to stall for time.

And if they dared to apply pressure from the outside, then what Su Yang could do inside the Forbidden Ground would be more than just simple pressure.

After completing the resource manifestation, Su Yang had essentially digested all the rewards obtained from this event.

However, the impact of this event went far beyond this.

First was the issue of the geopolitical situation; the relationships between various countries or various Alliances would undergo tremendous changes because of this event.

After this event, there would definitely be countries within the other three Alliances that would want to join his side.

And whether those three Alliances would continue to unite or disperse, or perhaps some countries would no longer dare to be enemies with the Dragon Country.

In short, the relationships between these countries would all change significantly.

However, Su Yang was not very concerned about this.

The territory had now unlocked petroleum technology and was gradually developing agriculture.

Whether other countries united to boycott and blockade or opened up trade, etc., it would not have any impact on him.

Great Qin could be completely self-sufficient.

And besides the changes in the situation, more importantly, the Forbidden Ground had unlocked a new stage—Struggle for Hegemony.

This was not a new event; it had also appeared in the first two rounds of trials.

Whenever most countries unlocked vehicles, this stage would begin; of course, it had opened exceptionally early in this round.

Upon entering the Struggle for Hegemony stage, the Forbidden Ground would provide generous rewards for aggressive wars.

It could be said that the Forbidden Ground was willing to see them fight amongst themselves.

From this stage on, countries like the United States and Japan would definitely begin to annex wantonly.

The benefits brought by finding and annexing other lords were far greater than simply farming Xenomorphs.

Not only could one obtain command points rewards, but one could also obtain all the resource output of that territory.

It could be said that as long as one annexed a territory, one could directly raise their own strength by a level.

And the advantages of aggressive civilizations like the United States, Japan, and Germany would be reflected here.

These countries were born for war.

However, the landscape of this round of the Forbidden Ground was about to change.

Because a civilization that had engraved unification into the bones of the Huaxia nation had experienced Rebirth.

In an era when Americans had not yet been born and the Japanese were still wearing grass skirts and dancing.

Great Qin had already completed the historical mission of unifying the Huaxia nation!

When it comes to conquest, when it comes to war, when it comes to governance, who dares to contend with Great Qin!

Su Yang looked at the panel and chuckled; they thought the horn they blew was for a comeback, but in reality, it was the prelude to their destruction.

The various upgrades related to war for the Rank 4 Main Base had been completed, and next, it was time to put the Rank 5 Main Base on the to-do list.

[Main Base: lords residence]

[Rank: Rank 4 >>> Rank 5]

[Unlock Level 5 resource devices, Level 5 defensive facilities, Level 5 research buildings, Level 5 Imperial Armor Camp, unlock farm buildings, unlock electromagnetic technology]

[Upgrade Requirements]

[Petroleum resources: 200 units]

[Coal resources: 1000 units]

[Copper ore resources: 1000 units]

[Iron ore resources: 2000 units]

[Steel resources: 600 units]

[Stone mine resources: 2000 units]

[command points: 60000 points]

[Time: 7d]

The Rank 5 Main Base could unlock farm buildings! Su Yang's eyes lit up.

He had previously been worried about how to farm; the units currently in the territory were all warriors and had absolutely no knowledge of farming.

Now that he knew the Rank 5 base could unlock farms, there would definitely be corresponding farmer units.

This relieved one of Su Yang's worries.

Besides the farms, what also excited Su Yang was the electromagnetic technology that followed.

Finally, he was going to unlock electricity and enter the Electrical Age.

This would again allow the development of the territory to enter an all-new stage!

With the Electrical Age paired with Great Qin's technology, who knew what terrifying war machines would be created by then.

Although upgrading is good, the various resources required for the upgrade were somewhat headache-inducing.

These resources were not small amounts, especially the demand for iron, steel, and various fuels.

Currently, the territory's resource consumption was extremely high, and it would be very difficult to save up so many resources in a short time.

If he couldn't buy them from allies, he would just have to save them up little by little himself.

This Rank 5 Main Base upgrade looked like a major project.

However, there was no rush to upgrade the Main Base; the most urgent task currently was still to explore to the southwest.

To determine whether that type of plant in the southwest could be cultivated into crops, and to identify the type of Xenomorphs in the southwest.

Su Yang closed the panel and thought about the goals for the fourth week in his mind.

Yes, after separating from the event, the Forbidden Ground had directly entered the fourth week.

The Battle of Heroic Souls had only lasted one day, and they had entered the simulation battlefield on the third day of the third week.

So, three days in the third week had vanished into thin air, as if some power had erased them.

Although this matter was full of suspicious points, Su Yang was never willing to put effort into such ghostly and mysterious matters.

If they were gone, they were gone; in any case, it didn't deduct his command points.

After some thought, Su Yang determined the goals for the fourth week.

Identify the Xenomorphs colony in the southwest dense forest, and put the Rank 5 Main Base into construction.

Xenomorphs that live in symbiosis with plants?

Su Yang was full of interest in these new Xenomorphs in the southwest dense forest.
