Chapter 2075: Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot
As for why we don't say 100%, it's because the combat effectiveness of the remaining 50% of forces is too low.
Not to mention that the World Government still has Zhang Jun in charge. Even if there is no Zhang Jun and only people with weak combat capabilities such as Wulaoxing and Chen San are guarding it, they would not dare to take the initiative of the World Government.
Because their fighting power is so weak that they cannot even defeat the World Government in this state.
But it’s normal to think about it. Even if the combat effectiveness is weak, it only represents the combat effectiveness of the members of the force.
As I said before, the battle between a force does not rely solely on the individual fighting of the force members.
The real comparison is the hardware facilities of both sides, such as siege weapons such as catapults and ballistae.
And these things can be bought as long as you have money, and you don't need a strong warrior to use them. Even ordinary adults can operate them.
As for those weak forces, not to mention their personal combat effectiveness, they are also incompetent in terms of resources. In a word, they are paupers.
As for the World Government, even if there are no combat members, their economic strength is absolutely unquestionable.
They may be short of everything, but they are not short of money (iron ore!)
As for the catapults, ballistas, or other weapons, equipment, and armor I just mentioned, these can all be exchanged for iron ore.
For a lord like the World Government who is not short of money, will their base camp be short of catapults and catapults and other siege weapons?
There may not only be no shortage, but there may even be so much that you can’t put it down.
For example, a general large-scale force may only have a few catapults and ballistae.
Moreover, these few catapults and ballistae are not the most sophisticated, they are the kind of defective products that will disintegrate directly after being fired a few times.
Because everyone knows that the power of catapults and crossbows is amazing, so their prices are equally amazing.
Moreover, whether it is a business alliance or other merchants, in order to earn enough iron ore, they will naturally make catapults and crossbows of different specifications according to different people.
It’s not that their craftsmanship isn’t good enough and they can’t produce a high-quality, lossless version.
But if they do this, then their business is equivalent to a one-time deal, so how can they make money?
Once the other party buys it, it will never break down in a lifetime. Even if their power has a lot of iron ore, the most they can do is buy a few more aircraft.
Once you have finished buying it and it is enough, you will not continue to purchase it.
Then who will sell the other catapults and ballistas made by the Merchant Alliance and other merchants? Is it possible to use it as food for myself, or give it to people like Tang Yan and let them play with it as a toy?
The answer is obviously impossible, whether it is a business alliance or other businessmen.
In Sky Island World, a place where supplies are scarce, no matter which business platform he is on, the things he makes cannot be compared to the previous world, whether in terms of quality or category.
It is precisely because they have fewer varieties and fewer categories that they need to rely more on quantity to make money.
Otherwise, there are just dozens of varieties, and once everyone buys them, once they are saturated, it means that the business cannot continue.
Once the business cannot continue, even the leader of the business alliance like Jiang Tian will still be unable to make ends meet and will go bankrupt if he cannot last long.
Some people may say, doesn’t Jiang Tian have a system? Don’t you have copy skills?
Even if there is no business, you won't starve to death, just copy those foods.
This sounds simple, but it is not so simple to actually do it.
First of all, everyone must remember that Jiang Tian does have a system and does have copying skills.
However, this copying skill has limitations. It does not mean that you can use it however you want, or as many times as you want.
First of all, he can only copy it once a day, and once he uses it up, he has to wait until the next day to continue using it.
If there was no such restriction, Jiang Tian might have copied thousands or tens of thousands of fishing rods on the first day.
When the time comes, relying on these fishing rods, let alone the European Emperor, even if he is a non-chief, he can kill the European Emperor like 0888 instantly.
Because once a value is reached, a quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change.
It's a pity that although this system is powerful, he doesn't want its owner to be a waste, a piece of trash who can thrive in the sky island world without doing anything.
Except for one use a day, and then that's what he copied.
Jiang Tian can only copy one thing every time, such as a box of Huazi, a box of wine, or a fishing rod.
This is also the reason why Jiang Tian's Huazi was sold so expensively.
After all, you can only copy it once a day. If you copy Hua Zi, you will have no chance to copy the fishing rod.
If he hadn't had many more fishing rods than others, he wouldn't have wasted time copying Hua Zi.
Because whether it is Huazi or foreign wine, they are just consumables. Once they are smoked and drank, they are gone.
But the fishing rod is different. As long as it doesn't fall from the sky island, and as long as your luck is not too bad, you can keep fishing for Chinese seeds and foreign wine.
It's just that one requires luck and the other is a direct copy.
If the sky island world has always been in a peaceful period, then there will be no problem even if we copy more food, drinks and fun and less fishing rods.
After all, if you are not going to fight, you must first ensure your own food and clothing.
But since the appearance of the air pirates, if you only think about how to play and eat, and don't develop your combat power, then it may not be long before you become someone else's prey.
So Jiang Tian always copies Huazi or foreign wine once, and only copies it again once he has finished drawing and drinking it. He did not use his skills here, and used all of them to copy the fishing rod.
Because only in this way can he develop his own strength while also solving the problem of normal food and clothing.
Of course, Jiang Tian's food and clothing is only for him personally. If it is placed on other people, it is probably comparable to the life of a god.
After all, there are fish and meat every day, and there can be good wine to accompany. Such a day is definitely as happy as a god.
Compared with other survivors who eat steamed bread every day, and the situation of one meal and no meal, it is really not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Tian and his life are like gods.
Maybe some people will be clever again. Isn't it simple? Jiang Tian's ability is completely used in the wrong place, or in the wrong way.
Although it can only be used once a day and can only copy one thing each time, can't you use your brain?
Since Huazi can copy a box, why not make his packaging bigger?
