Chapter 63 Cavalry?

After listening to the explanation of the dean, Ji Lin nodded. His planning ability was very poor. He could not leave out both functions and redundancy while looking good.

His architectural planning was to align the two sides and organize all the buildings.

It had to be piece by piece, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

But in addition to planning issues, he had more important questions to ask.

"If I want to quickly improve my combat effectiveness, do you have any suggestions?"

"Mr. Lord, do you have people assigned to research positions? You can put me in the position of director of the research department. There should be a new position now."

Ji Lin opened his cabinet management interface and found that in addition to the positions of managers of the two town centers, there was a new position at this moment:

[Director of Research Department]

[Appoint a director to start a research project]

Click on it and appoint Xu Shan as the director of the research department... The director of the research department in the Empire Era is weird.

The name of the position is actually related to the corresponding building owned by the territory. If his research building is the Zhantiantai, which specializes in studying magic, then the director of the research department here will become the Sitianjian. If it is the Fudaoguan, which specializes in studying runes, it will become Fu Shichang.

There is also an extremely rare building, the Observatory, which can train astrologers. The special effects and combat power are all at T1.

You should know that according to the system classification, everyone in this era is still playing cold weapon wars. In the era of slow development of firearms, many lords will live very comfortably in this era. Cold weapon confrontation can be defeated with just one fierce general.

If the system is really willing to let him go and fight those guys who are still playing ordinary cold weapons, that would be great.

He doesn't really want to fight with all kinds of monsters and demons of the same era.

'Appointed: Dean Xu Shan as the director of your research department'

The feeling of the dean is completely different from other hero units. He knows more than everyone else, and is different from those who are pulled by the system for no reason and become his subordinates without knowing anything.

The system sometimes pits them, but basically won't harm them.

And Senota and Jeanna won't harm themselves.

This is the first time he has encountered such a situation in his two lives.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look at the project."

Xu Shan, who has obtained the identity of the director of the research department, closed his eyes and browsed the list of projects obtained with his permission.

He muttered in disbelief.

"Oh my god, there are projects like City Heart and Steam Core...?"

(I didn't write it before, I'll add it here quietly)

'City Heart (Project)'

'The city under our feet is constantly expanding, and we need a powerful enough energy production facility to provide energy for the entire city. We call this project the City Heart. We must redesign the energy supply structure specifically for the City Heart project and build a set of energy supply networks that can match the City Heart project. '

'City Heart-Steam Core (Multiple Branches), Time Consumption: Inestimable'

'Steam Core'

'A perfect engine designed specifically for crystal ore, it was designed by a true genius, combining the peak design levels of runes and machinery. Through continuous circulation, it can achieve a maximum thermal efficiency of 75% under the premise of using crystal ore. '

'Steam Core Unlock, Time Consumption: 5 Years'

In addition to these two particularly outrageous projects, the dean still found three research and development options that are more suitable for Ji Lin's needs from the multiple projects he can currently study.

‘Hunting Sentinel’

Directly strengthen the existing troops, and the original troops will also get stronger attributes after integration.

‘30mm small-caliber infantry support artillery’

Also a direct enhancement of the troops, 30mm small-caliber support artillery, Ji Lin guessed that it was a unit with extremely strong armor-piercing ability.

‘Steam Spider Frame’

The Steam Spider Frame and Steam Mechanized Soldiers appeared in his project list along with the Blue Crystal Ore. However, will there be time to manufacture them after they are developed? He was skeptical.

Xu Shan seemed to see Ji Lin’s doubts and explained to him:

“If you choose the primary steam spider and infantry support artillery... I can try to provide you with an experimental machine instead of the official machine, and the failure rate may be a little higher.” Xu Shan smiled: “Maybe it’s a bug in the system. It’s reasonable to build an experimental machine during the development process.”

Xu Shan blinked, as if to say that he could fully trust his ability.

“How fast is the production speed of the steam spider?”

Ji Lin was a little moved, and then asked.

Infantry support artillery is good, but it will replace some of his troops who originally used muskets, using high-frequency attacks in exchange for high armor-piercing damage, but his musket troops do not need higher armor-piercing capabilities because of their special nature. As long as they do not encounter giant beasts, they will just pierce armor randomly.

And he coveted the steam spider in the dungeon.

This super monster (mechanical) charging cavalry.

"If you can let Chongshan and Changheng, two technicians, plus at least 20 workers to work with me, the efficiency of so many people, about one machine a day? Mainly because the steel in the territory does not meet the standards and I need to spend more time carving runes."

Xu Shan stretched out his hand, and a huge blue-white breath cloud that covered his entire palm was condensed, which was far beyond the source energy ability of everyone in the territory.

"With this assistance, I will carve runes much faster."

Very scary efficiency.

Ten temporary steam spiders can be made for him in ten days.

The strength of a level 5 hero...

"I don't know what kind of steam spiders you have encountered, Lord, but I can't guarantee that I can achieve all the performance."

Just in case, the dean still carefully gave his own tips.

"Enough."

No matter what the performance is, solving the problem is the most important thing, and cavalry is the biggest shortcoming in his lineup.

He needs cavalry patrols, but he is also afraid of cavalry charges.

Just like the field troops in the 21st century must carry air defense, even if the field air defense is bad, it still needs air defense, otherwise, are you waiting for the enemy's air force to have a party on your head?

A real heavy cavalry unit.

Just existing is a deterrent.

As long as these steam spiders can make others dare not launch a charge, it will be the greatest success.

After finalizing all the preparations, Ji Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He only needed to wait for the exercise battlefield to begin in ten days. That was a small test from the system to test the plan he had developed over the past few months. A flash of inspiration came to him:

"I have one last question. Do you know Jeanna and Senota?"

The dean opened his lips slightly, not following Ji Lin's jumping thoughts, and was about to say something.

A huge red warning popped up directly between the two people, and a system that had been monitoring everyone suddenly appeared and cut off their conversation.

'Warning, do not disclose any information. '

They understood it in an instant.
