155: Chapter 155 The Great Qin is the True God, Electricity Coverage

Late at night, the cold wind stung one's face.

The Armored Soldiers led by General Li Xin lit campfires all over the territory, eating roasted fruits and bird meat to relieve the day's fatigue.

Leader Tang Ji was somewhat anxious; these soldiers had no intention of going up to the walls to keep watch.

The attacks of the Xenomorphs could come at any time, so wouldn't it be too late to prepare then?

"General, they are here."

A reconnaissance unit of Armored Soldiers with lighter armor walked up to General Li Xin and handed over a device in their hand.

Leader Tang Ji noticed it was a screen similar to a radar, displaying small white dots rapidly moving toward the center of the device.

The white dots were densely packed, numbering nearly 100.

This is an Insect Swarm!?

Leader Tang Ji's eyes widened.

This number was double what he had encountered before!

Was this the escalation of the offensive brought about by the increase in threat level?

"Have Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu and Armored Elite Warrior Zhao Zhang take a small team over, intercept them on the perimeter, and deal with them. Don't damage the fruits."

General Li Xin ordered the reconnaissance unit beside him, and immediately, two Armored Soldiers stood up, assembled a 30-man team, and left the territory.

Leader Tang Ji blinked and stood up.

"General Li Xin, is this team going to scout the enemy situation?"

"They will directly crush the Insect Swarm outside the fruit tree area."

"Ah? But, but I only saw a few dozen men, yet the radar map shows over a hundred Xenomorphs!"

Leader Tang Ji was a bit panicked. Previously, his 400-man troop could only defend against a 50-scale Insect Swarm without casualties by relying on the city walls.

Now they were only sending 30 men to deal with 100 Xenomorphs?

"Wouldn't that be risky? It wouldn't be worth it if the Armored Soldiers suffered casualties!"

"The soldiers need to rest. For this level, 30 men are already enough."

After saying this, General Li Xin skewered three plucked strange birds and began roasting them over the fire.

"Leader Tang Ji, if there's nothing else, you can go back to sleep. With us here, the Xenomorphs won't get in."

Seeing that General Li Xin didn't want to talk to him anymore, Leader Tang Ji swallowed hard and turned to leave.

Although he believed in the combat power of the Great Qin Armored Soldiers, this was, after all, his own territory.

The safety of the territory was closely related to his own safety and that of all of Spain.

He followed the elevator to the top of the iron city wall; the 16-meter-high wall provided a very wide field of vision.

Although it wasn't his first time climbing the city wall, every time he came up, Leader Tang Ji was shocked by this astonishing construction technology.

Walking out of the elevator, he hurried to the edge of the wall.

His gaze passed through the dark battlements and landed in the distance, where a large, tide-like Insect Swarm was advancing rapidly.

And blocking their path were Armored Soldiers numbering less than a third of them!

"Can this really work?"

Leader Tang Ji knew that Su Yang's troops would never act recklessly, but the disparity between the two forces right now was simply too great, and there was no city wall protection in between.

Could it really work?

Leader Tang Ji saw the Crossbowmen in the back row of the formation release their arrows; the dark mass of arrows enveloped the Bug Swarm Tide like a giant net.

This is a crossbow?

Can a crossbow achieve this kind of firepower?

Leader Tang Ji's eyes flickered; this firepower was no different from a machine gun!

Swish, swish, swish——————-

The sound of arrows breaking through the air traveled thousands of meters into his ears.

The Stinger Bugs at the front of the Bug Swarm Tide fell to the ground like grass.

These are Stinger Bugs?

These are those Stinger Bugs with high-polymer chitin shells!?

Leader Tang Ji simply doubted whether these Stinger Bugs were the same batch he fought every day.

After the baptism of the crossbow arrows, the remaining remnants of the Stinger Bugs collided with the formation of Armored Elite Soldiers.

The Elite Soldiers raised their hands and brought down their swords, and the Stinger Bug tide turned into a pool of severed limbs and blood.

Finally, a few mounted reconnaissance soldiers charged out to pursue the fleeing brain bugs, and the 30 Armored Soldiers returned to the territory.

The terrifying Bug Swarm Tide that made him fear for his life every night was wiped out in less than 1 minute.

And this was a field encounter without city walls, using only 30 soldiers.

Strong, too strong!

Smelling the stench of the Stinger Bugs wafting through the air, Leader Tang Ji couldn't stop his heart from trembling.

Compared to the Nations Hegemony Tournament and the Battle of Heroic Souls seen through a screen, the feeling of witnessing the Armored Elite Soldiers fighting in person was even more shocking.

At this moment, Leader Tang Ji's faith changed.

The damn God had never responded to his prayers; Su Yang and the Armored Elite Soldiers were the ones who truly helped him.

To hell with God; from today on, Great Qin is his God!

[Name: Lishan Fire Platform]

[Type: Industrial Building]

[Facility that uses coal or oil to generate electricity]

[Each unit of coal fuel can generate 10 units of electricity]

[Each unit of oil can generate 20 units of electricity]

—————————————————

[Name: Lishan Wind Pavilion]

[Type: Industrial Building]

[Facility that generates electricity through wind power]

[Facility that generates electricity based on wind changes]

[Current area generates an average of 50 units of electricity per day]

After the three relevant electricity technology studies were completed, two industrial facilities were unlocked in the industrial building area.

One thermal power plant and one wind power plant each.

The thermal power plant requires the consumption of fuel and oil resources, while wind power generation is entirely dependent on the weather.

After the two buildings were unlocked, it was found that the wind resources around the territory were not abundant, and the wind speed and volume were pitifully low.

Therefore, Su Yang could only choose to build a thermal power plant—the Lishan Fire Platform.

As an important strategic resource, oil definitely cannot be used as the main source of power generation; it can be used at most when electricity is extremely scarce.

Therefore, the current main fuel for power generation is coal resources. After the 3 coal mining machines were boosted by electricity, their basic production capacity increased by another 100%, and the total output reached 680 units/day.

Subtracting the coal consumed to maintain the troops, this amount leaves only about 100 units.

That is to say, the daily electricity production capacity relying on the thermal power plant is 1000 units.

Among them, maintaining the operation of various mining machines requires 100 units of electricity/day, and maintaining industrial facilities requires 200 units of electricity/day.

The power consumption of various production facilities alone reached 1400 units, exceeding the territory's power generation capacity.

Su Yang's mind flickered, and he invested the mining machines additionally provided by the level 5 Main Base into the coal mine.

The daily production capacity of coal resources increased again, reaching 860 units/day.

Now, after subtracting the soldiers' consumption, the average daily electricity production capacity will reach about 2800 units.

It can meet the needs of resource production facilities, but to meet the future needs of soldier units and more buildings that require electricity, it is necessary to increase the average electricity production capacity.

Thermal power generation has reached its limit, and now he needs to find an area that can support wind power generation.

Su Yang's mind flickered, and he opened the Astrology Tower panel.

He wanted to divine an area where a wind power station could be built.
