159: Chapter 159 Prime Minister's AI, Magnetic Energy Cannonball!

[ Chancellor is requesting resource detection authorization... ]

[ Chancellor is requesting resource allocation authorization... ]

[ Chancellor is requesting troop fuel management authorization... ]

[ Chancellor is requesting... ]

...

The AI sent permission requests to Su Yang one by one, and Su Yang excitedly confirmed them one by one.

Having finally managed to get a Chancellor, he could finally make things easier for himself.

As each permission was granted, Su Yang became clearer about what this super assistant could do.

First was resource management and real-time monitoring; things Su Yang couldn't complete were just basic operations for the AI.

Second was predicting and adjusting the input-output ratio of various secondary resources in the territory in real-time according to Su Yang's strategy.

Next was responding to emergencies, allowing for rapid handling of various unexpected situations.

Finally, it could control some facilities within the territory, such as automated farms.

It was basically certain that with the Chancellor AI's assistance, logistics within the territory would never have problems again.

"On the premise of ensuring fuel resources, store as much electricity as possible," Su Yang commanded.

[ Task confirmed. Monitoring troop movements in real-time and tracking fuel consumption for each unit. ]

[ Current coal fuel reserves are in good condition. It is recommended to increase the input ratio for the thermal power plant to provide electricity reserves for the Expeditionary Force tomorrow. ]

Seeing this, Su Yang nodded. It was indeed an AI with predictive capabilities; it had even considered tomorrow's expedition mission!

The expedition team needed to load resources into the wolf smoke to be used on the road.

Therefore, when departing for the expedition tomorrow, a batch of resources, including electricity, would definitely need to be consumed and loaded into the wolf smoke in advance.

If there hadn't been preparations in advance, he wouldn't have been able to provide enough for the team to use on the expedition route.

If the AI hadn't brought it up, Su Yang himself would have forgotten to consider this matter.

He probably wouldn't have realized that the territory couldn't produce the hundreds of units of electricity needed to be stored in the wolf smoke in advance until before departure tomorrow.

"According to the expedition requirements, increase the input ratio," Su Yang said.

[ Expedition destination: Wailing Mountains. Target is 423.67 kilometers away from the territory. ]

[ Calculating possible consumption combined with road conditions... ]

[ Calculating weight of incidental factors... ]

[ Calculating... ]

After a thorough and careful analysis, the Chancellor AI listed a data table in front of Su Yang.

It briefly listed the possible losses under various situations using data and images.

And not just electricity; several different colors represented different resource consumption.

Just when Su Yang was thinking about tasting the meat of the strange bird transported by Spain in the evening, the AI had already taken all possible factors into account and listed the consumption of all resources under all possible situations.

What terrifying computing power! Su Yang looked astonished.

In his past life, he knew that major countries were committed to researching supercomputers, aiming to handle highly difficult and complex tasks like missile interception.

Now, seeing the AI's performance, Su Yang finally understood the reason why various countries racked their brains to develop computers.

This kind of super computing power, which human labor cannot reach, is simply insane!

Based on the detailed list provided by the AI, Su Yang could precisely control the planning of various resources without having to use his brain or think.

The 5th-level Main Base brought not only an explosion in productivity but also a liberation of physical and mental energy.

In addition to the current resource consumption report, the AI also listed the scarcity of various resources for a period of time in the future.

Among them, iron ore, stone, and carbon were still in the top three for consumption, with carbon resources still being the most scarce.

And among the secondary resources—electricity, fuel, and steel—electricity was currently the most scarce, but the AI predicted that steel would become the most scarce in the Late Stage of the 5th-level Main Base.

Su Yang allocated the current resource input based on the data and roughly understood the future trend of resource consumption.

Only after unlocking the AI did Su Yang finally feel like he was an emperor.

The AI was his cabinet collection; he only needed to issue instructions, and the cabinet would compile all kinds of data and situations and present them to him.

Afterward, he would adjust the territory strategy or make a decision based on the data and suggestions from the cabinet.

With the AI's assistance, he would never have to struggle to calculate various data by himself again.

Su Yang felt a sense of relief in both body and mind.

After all, he really didn't like math.

After solving the resource problem, Su Yang opened the Imperial Armor Camp panel again.

Here were the two new unit types that had just finished upgrading.

[ Imperial Armor Camp Panel ]

[ Unit: Great Qin Armored Crossbowmen ]

[ Unit Type: Ranged Infantry ]

[ Production Requirement: Level 5 Imperial Armor Camp ]

[ Description: Modifies the crossbow firing structure, using electromagnetic gun barrels instead of bowstrings to fire, further increasing the initial velocity of arrows. ]

[ Provides a brand new electric crossbow arrow that can release high-voltage current upon hitting the enemy, causing high-temperature burns and paralysis effects on the enemy. ]

[ After hitting metal armor or shells, it can cause local short circuits, thereby rapidly destroying metal structures. ]

[ Unlocking prerequisite technology allows for upgrading the crossbows for Crossbowmen, increasing ranged attack intensity. ]

[ Summoning command points Required: 1000 points ]

[ Consumption: 5 units of fuel/day, 5 units of concentrated water/day ]

[ Maintenance Consumption: 5 units of steel/time, 5 units of copper/time ]

[ Reloading Consumption: 20 units of electricity/time, 2 units of steel/time, 1 unit of saltpeter/time, 1 unit of fuel/time ]

[ Unit: Great Qin Skyfire Guard ]

[ Unit Type: Heavy Artillery Unit ]

[ Production Requirement: Level 5 Imperial Armor Camp ]

[ Description: Gains electromagnetic acceleration gun barrels, further increasing range, and gains a brand new Magnetic Storm Bomb. ]

[ The Magnetic Storm Bomb has the same power as the Skyfire Bomb. After exploding at the target location, it will trigger a large-scale Magnetic Storm. ]

[ Within the coverage of the Magnetic Storm, all electronic equipment will fail, metal structures will become unstable, and all units will suffer paralysis damage. ]

[ Summoning command points Required: 5000 points ]

[ Basic Consumption: 10 units of fuel/day, 10 units of concentrated water/day ]

[ Maintenance Consumption: 10 units of steel/time, 10 units of iron/time ]

[ Reloading Consumption ]

[ High Explosive Shell: 2 units of stone, 3 units of coal, 1 unit of saltpeter/shot ]

[ Skyfire Bomb: 3 units of stone, 3 units of coal, 2 units of saltpeter/shot ]

[ Fuel Bomb: 2 units of stone, 3 units of coal, 2 units of saltpeter, 1 unit of fuel/shot ]

[ Magnetic Storm Bomb: 40 units of electricity, 3 units of stone, 3 units of coal, 2 units of saltpeter/shot ]

"Metal structures become unstable"—Su Yang quickly caught the key point in the upgrades for the Crossbowmen and Skyfire Guard.

It seems that after unlocking the electromagnetic upgrade, the shell defense of the Gray Rock Clan would no longer be a problem.

The powerful Magnetic Storm would pave the way for this expedition to the Wailing Mountains!
