Chapter 1852: Chapter 618: Transylvania’s War Technology Tree Unlocks a New Branch, “Espionage Technology” (Part 2)
He said:
“Brother Fa, does the development team have any similar thoughts like this afterward? If not, take this document as a reference.”
Alpha: [Let me see what you’ve come up with this time in your document…]
A few minutes later.
Alpha: [!!! Did you come up with this insane military plan all by yourself? As expected, you engineers and mechanics are all monsters!]
Vomit Mud Sauce: [Hehehe, that’s flattering, Brother Fa. I just had a spur-of-the-moment idea. The so-called reform of the Goldenrod Kingdom merely uses railroads and trains as transportation tools to improve efficiency. They haven’t yet discovered the lethal utility of rail transport in warfare. After all, to the Goldenrod People, it’s a new thing.
But I estimate that with the AI intelligence in the game, those guys will catch on in a few years.
We in Transylvania should seize this time gap and crush them before they learn how to use this weapon!
I’ve already started designing the blueprint for armored trains. I’m planning to mount cannons on the trains to create real ‘land cruisers.’ By then, they can be parked outside the Goldenrod Kingdom’s cities, and a round of artillery fire could topple their city walls.
But this plan would require Loyal Brother’s arsenal to first unlock the ‘gigantic cannon’ technology. Sigh, who knows how long it will be before we can actually see this war weapon in action.]
Alpha: [Emmmm, the development team indeed didn’t think in that direction, probably because we didn’t expect you guys to want to play that big? Alright, I’ll submit this thing to the strategy group to have a look.
If possible, the ‘war vehicle’ branch will be opened in the war mode later.
Of course, you’d better show this plan to the commanders among the players. If possible, explain your strategic thinking to General Maxim. You might even snag an advisory rank or something from him.
I’m still busy here, talk later.
Besides, this thing seems pretty costly, so you’ll have to find a way to get investment in the game.]
Vomit Mud Sauce: [Uh-huh, I understand, I understand, I’ll figure something out after I resurrect.]
Having finished chatting with Vomit Mud Sauce, Lord Administrator was now in a courtyard in the Crimson Fortress Commercial District. Murphy stared at the document on the Calculating Pearl, and he couldn’t help but start envisioning Transylvania’s War Behemoth charging into the heart of the Goldenrod Kingdom with an unstoppable force, covering a thousand miles overnight and destroying cities in wild scenes.
“These guys are really something.”
Murphy muttered similar sentiments for the umpteenth time.
But he guessed that the progressive King Louis probably didn’t foresee that one day in the future, the railway network he painstakingly planned for his country would be used as a war weapon against his royal power by a group of warlike and crazed foreigners.
But it must be said, Vomit Mud Sauce’s war strategy is indeed aggressive!
Murphy could predict that once Transylvania was the first to incorporate the steam train into the war sequence, the Goldenrod Kingdom would definitely follow suit quickly.
That country has too many resources at its disposal, and King Louis’ furious counterattack would be fierce and deadly. After all, an armored train is something that even the most mediocre engineer could replicate after just a glance at the real thing.
So, this strategy can only be used at a critical moment.
On the other hand, on Nordtof Kingdom’s side, there’s no need to worry about the Transia People using such brutal weapons against them, given that there’s only a stretch of railway between their territory from North Wind Castle to Borisogleb, and the railway crossing the Great Wilderness hasn’t been completed despite being under construction for over ten years.
For the people there, trains are still a novelty.
“Besides trains, there are also airships.”
In the yard, Murphy looked up to see the Half-body Man Airship hovering in the sky outside the Crimson Fort City.
That thing is huge! Like a destroyer floating in the air.
This thing has been parked at Crimson Fort for several days, but Murphy couldn’t find time to visit. The inspiration he got from Vomit Mud Sauce just now sparked his thoughts, and he suddenly felt that he should perhaps make time to “pay respects” to the Half-body Man employees on the airship. After all, they came from afar and are guests.
But for now, there’s more pressing business.
Murphy withdrew his gaze and looked around the courtyard in front of him, a regular courtyard in the commercial district, but with a plaque bearing the emblem of a silver moon at its entrance, indicating this was the “Silver Moon Pride Team” base in Crimson Fortress.
The girls’ team didn’t enter the Hall of Fame, so they couldn’t obtain a land deed for the base, and this courtyard was rented at a high price. Anyway, they weren’t short on money.
Murphy wasn’t here today to hang out with his female players but because he received a special invitation.
A physicist named “Meng HaHa” had, hours ago, submitted a fund application for “special communication device research” in a very formal text format via the Calculating Pearl communication to Milian, who then forwarded it to Murphy. The Lord is here as a stand-in to check out the new work the players have come up with.
He can actually guess what Meng HaHa crafted, but as an NPC with mainline duties, he now showed a puzzled expression, especially upon seeing that big, peculiar piece of equipment standing in the room.
“What is this?”
Murphy pointed at the big, black, clunky thing and asked, puzzled.
Meng HaHa thought for a moment and explained in simple terms:
