156: Chapter 156 Key Supply Vehicles, the Qin Iron Cavalry?

Open the Astrology Tower panel.

[Heavenly Fortune]

[Consume command points to predict nearby locations where good fortune gathers, obtaining the unknown special location closest to the territory.]

["Do you want my treasure? If you want it, go divine it."]

[Note: Each use increases the command points consumption by 5000.]

[command points consumption: Starting at 10,000 points.]

Theoretically, the Heavenly Fortune option can only divine random special locations.

But as long as you pay, which means using double the command points, you can divine specific clues you want.

Of course, the accuracy of the divination will change according to the difficulty of your requirements.

If you want to divine some world-destroying weapon, then the divination result is likely fake.

Su Yang invested a full 20,000 command points to activate the Heavenly Fortune option.

This was a necessary expense; the technology research for the Crossbowman, Skyfire Guard, and Fire Dragon Guard would be completed tomorrow, and the electricity problem had to be solved before then.

Not only would sending Scouts out to explore be a waste of time, but relying on people to explore wind resources was not the best choice either.

First of all, the strength of the wind changes constantly over time, and wind resources in a certain area must be calculated based on the average wind volume over a day or even a period of time.

And Scouts obviously cannot stay in one area for that long, so they can only feel the instantaneous wind volume of a certain area, making the exploration inaccurate.

Therefore, in order to obtain wind power generation as soon as possible, these 20,000 command points had to be spent.

[command points - 20,000]

[Heavenly Fortune activated, special area deduction in progress...]

With the command points invested, the hemisphere at the top of the Astrology Tower began to rotate, and the surrounding tracks also operated in an interlocking manner.

As steam and mechanical sounds rang out continuously, the deduction progress increased step by step.

[Special area deduction completed, this deduction area: Wailing Mountains]

[Qian position, Heaven Gate, 400 kilometers north-northwest]

[At the edge of the crystal mining area, high-level Zerg are dormant here, and strong winds and gravel rage here.]

[Wailing Mountains: This is a forbidden zone for life, a dance floor for death.]

400 kilometers to the northwest?

Su Yang opened the map in his mind; currently, the exploration of the crystal mining area in the north was only about 100 kilometers.

This time, it actually required traveling 400 kilometers directly to the northwest, which already exceeded the maximum distance that the current black iron chariot could travel.

To reach the Wailing Mountains, he first had to upgrade the Heavy Equipment Battalion and upgrade the vehicles.

It seems that more preparations were needed before getting free electricity from wind power.

Su Yang flickered his intent, putting the steel reproduced today into the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

It was time to let these big guys upgrade!

A dull, thunderous sound rang out, and the Heavy Equipment Battalion began to upgrade amidst the roaring.

Compared to the series of building upgrades like the Imperial Armor Camp, the noise made by the Heavy Equipment Battalion was always the loudest.

The sound was like holding a heavy hammer and pounding it against your eardrums.

Boom—with a loud explosion, the Heavy Equipment Battalion finished upgrading.

Like the Imperial Armor Camp, a device capable of generating lightning also appeared on top of the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

Su Yang couldn't wait to open the Heavy Equipment Battalion panel, and the first thing that caught his eyes was a brand-new vehicle.

[Heavy Equipment Battalion Panel]

[Mechanism: Great Qin wolf smoke]

[Mechanism Type: Supply Vehicle]

[Power Drive: Hybrid]

[Production Requirement: Level 2 Gongshu Heavy Weaponry Camp]

[Required Prerequisite Technology: Electromagnetics, High-Energy Capacitor]

[Description: A multi-terrain long-distance transport vehicle capable of supplying various resources.]

[wolf smoke has five compartments, each with a capacity of 200 units, capable of storing up to five types of resources.]

[Note: 1000 units of electrical energy can be stored.]

[command points required for summoning: 10,000 points.]

[Maintenance consumption: 10 units of steel/time, 10 units of copper/time.]

[Basic consumption: 150 units of electricity/time, 30 units of fuel/time, 15 units of fuel/time, 15 units of concentrated water/time.]

[Note: Mechanism units traveling on non-road terrain will suffer fuel consumption and movement speed penalties; the penalty value depends on the road condition.]

Great Qin wolf smoke, a resource supply vehicle!

Su Yang's eyes flickered; this was a very critical vehicle!

Currently, without considering the return trip, the maximum distance the dark iron heavy armored vehicle can reach is only about 300 kilometers.

Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to reach the Wailing Mountains in any way.

And the appearance of the wolf smoke perfectly solved this problem.

As long as it is resupplied midway, the black iron chariot can continue to operate and send the troops to the Wailing Mountains.

Moreover, the appearance of the wolf smoke solved more than just this one problem.

With the addition of the resource supply vehicle, soldiers can obtain fuel supplies without returning to the territory.

This will further increase the speed and combat frequency of the expedition team.

It can be said that the addition of the wolf smoke turned the long-range unit directly into a mobile territory.

Vehicles and soldiers can resupply anywhere around the wolf smoke, or carry out repairs.

Each wolf smoke can carry up to 1000 units of resources.

To be safe, Su Yang summoned two wolf smokes directly.

After the Heavy Equipment Battalion operated for a while, electromagnetism and black smoke poured out at the same time.

A steel chariot slowly drove out.

What first caught Su Yang's attention about the wolf smoke was the multi-terrain tracks underneath.

With the multi-terrain tracks, the wolf smoke is not as dependent on roads as the black iron chariot.

It can easily adapt to various terrains and suffer fewer movement penalties.

What is worth noting afterwards is the huge tiered rear carriage of the wolf smoke.

The upper part is a huge storage area with five sections in total, and the lower part is various discharge areas.

To deal with the various resources that might be stored, the wolf smoke is equipped with different discharge ports.

For example, for liquid resources like oil or water, there are tools similar to gas station nozzles from his previous life under the carriage.

And for solid resources like coal or metal, the gas nozzle is replaced with a loading gun with a thicker pipe mouth.

Electrical energy is transmitted directly through an arm-sized plug device.

In addition to these resources, there is also a special maintenance workshop at the rear of the wolf smoke, along with two maintenance engineers accompanying the vehicle.

They are responsible for completing all the work needed by the troops; Imperial Armor or battle armor, weapons, or vehicles can all be repaired on-site.

This ensures that the team will not suffer a reduction in combat power due to damage during the expedition.

With so many functions aggregated into one vehicle, the wolf smoke has become the second largest summoned object in the territory, second only to the black iron chariot.

However, compared to the wide, long, and heavy black iron chariot, the wolf smoke is clearly more compact and agile.

After summoning the wolf smoke, the next step was the upgrade of the black iron chariot and the Blazing Steed.

These two upgrades made Su Yang's eyes light up even more; these were both very critical upgrades.

Among them, the upgrade of the Blazing Steed made Su Yang's fantasy of forming a cavalry unit possible!
