Main Combat Troops

No. 3796 could use energy to create any substance out of nothing. In theory, as long as it had sufficient energy and the relevant records in its database, it could directly synthesize anything with energy. However, converting energy into matter consumed a terrifying amount of energy, so mass-producing all kinds of technological creations still required various materials.

"Not enough iron ore?" Yang Feng frowned slightly.

Although Yang Feng had offered high prices these past few days and desperately urged merchants to transport iron ore from all over to Red Leaf Town, while also thoroughly scouring the town for ironware, it was still far from enough to meet the production needs of this mechanical factory.

A sharp glint flashed through Yang Feng's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "No choice. Looks like I have to expand! Pull up all the Combat Robot models currently available for production!"

"Yes, Master!" No. 3796 swiftly brought up the various Combat Robot models.

"Behemoth Heavy Bomber: manufacture requires 100 Kun of energy. Overall assessment: Level 7!"

"Wraith Heavy Transport: manufacture requires 60 Kun of energy. Overall assessment: Level 5!"

"..."

Yang Feng looked at the information on all kinds of combat weapons and frowned slightly. "The highest is only Level 7. Isn't that too weak? Are there no higher-level combat weapons?"

When he received the inheritance, Yang Feng had seen many terrifying combat weapons. The power of every one of those weapons was beyond comparison with mere Level 7 robots.

"There are, but my current maximum energy limit is 100 Kun. I can only manufacture parts that require less than 100 Kun of energy! The manufacture of many components and materials for Combat Robots above Level 8 exceeds 100 Kun. At present, I cannot manufacture those components, nor can I manufacture Combat Robots above Level 8."

"There are three ways to resolve this problem. The first is to manufacture an Armed Fortress Base and use its Large Energy and Matter Converter to directly convert higher-grade materials. The second is to find suitable materials. The third is to steadily improve the technology here and build more Arsenals until the technology here can manufacture those materials and components."

"Armed Fortress Base?" Yang Feng's thoughts stirred, and he looked toward the bottom.

"Mobile Armed Fortress Base: 3,000 meters in diameter, equipped with 100 Rhomboid Laser Cannons, 100 200mm Large Caliber Heavy Cannons, 300 45mm Large Caliber Cannons, 100 Base Shore Fortress Cannons, and a Level-3 Large Protective Shield. Requires 10,000 tons of steel, 100,000 Kun of energy, and Dimensional Crystals. Overall combat power assessment: Level 10."

"Damn!" Yang Feng cursed under his breath.

Those 10,000 tons of steel required twenty to thirty thousand tons of iron ore. A ton of iron ore cost roughly 2 Gold Coins, so thirty thousand tons of iron ore amounted to 60,000 Gold Coins. If purchased through normal means, even a hundred years of Red Leaf Town's income would not be enough.

As for energy, one Solar Energy Absorption Umbrella could absorb 0.01 Kun of energy per day. At present, two thousand Solar Energy Absorption Umbrellas could only absorb 20 Kun of energy. At the current rate, collecting enough energy for a Mobile Armed Fortress Base would take a full 50,000 days. As for Dimensional Crystals, Yang Feng had never even heard of them.

After thinking for a while, Yang Feng said, "Make me a batch of simplified versions of these Blade Soldiers, Gunners, and Artillery first."

No. 3796 asked somewhat doubtfully, "Simplified versions?"

Yang Feng laid out his modification requirements, cutting back on every aspect. "My current enemies are only medieval humans who do not even have guns. The Blade Soldiers' sword arms only need to be capable of killing Knights. The Gunners can use 12.5mm Heavy Machine Guns, and the Artillery only need to be equipped with a single 120mm heavy cannon. Their combat radius can also be shortened to within 200 kilometers. They do not need to be so huge either; human-sized will do. If possible, add a layer of artificial human skin to them so they look like humans."

Based on Yang Feng's requirements, No. 3796 swiftly redesigned and modified them, quickly designing Combat Robots that met Yang Feng's needs.

"Simplified Main Force Robot Swordsman: 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms, equipped with two Super Alloy Blades and a small power furnace, combat radius of 200 kilometers. Complete manufacture requires 0.1 Kun of energy. Overall combat power assessment: Level 4."

"Simplified Main Force Robot Gunner: 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms, equipped with a 12.5mm Heavy Machine Gun and a small power furnace, combat radius of 200 kilometers. Complete manufacture requires 0.1 Kun of energy. Overall combat power assessment: Level 4."

"Simplified Main Force Robot Artillery: 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms, equipped with a 120mm heavy cannon and a small power furnace, combat radius of 200 kilometers. Complete manufacture requires 0.1 Kun of energy. Overall combat power assessment: Level 4."

Highly satisfied, Yang Feng placed a large order. "Make one of each first to protect my safety, then make a hundred of each type of robot."

"Yes, Master!" No. 3796 replied.
