Starting from Zero

Several veterans of Sigma Sea Clan discussed my opinion together, but it was quickly determined under the interference of Adyna. The main reason for Sigma Sea Clan's dependence on Mermaid Race is the lack of self-protection and production capacity. Apart from the technology, this race is nothing but technology. Their production capacity is very poor, and even self-sufficiency is a problem. They must rely on external races to provide food and some living supplies. But relative to food, safety is the most important thing. The individual strength of Sigma Sea Clan is the inverse in the ocean, and the number is definitely not too large. Although their research and development capabilities can invent a lot of huge weapons with destructive power, Sea Clan, a naturally timid Sigma Sea Clan, can hardly even gather those who manipulate combat equipment. For them, fighting is almost impossible. Based on the above situation, they finally agreed to my opinion. After all, it seems that this suggestion is not inappropriate.

After confirming the intention, we should consider how to establish the Transmission Passage. After all, I am still stuck here! But the problem was solved quickly. After asking the veteran of Sigma Sea Clan, we found that there is no restriction on transmission, which means that I can actually use the ring of love to summon the rose, and the rose also has a phoenix dragon, just let her Bring a Transmission Formation here and you can establish a Transmission Passage connecting Tianyu City here. No matter how deep the location is, this place is at least in France. Sky City has an exit in France. There should be no problem with the Transmission Formation connecting here.

After connecting Rose’s love ring and telling her the situation, Rose asked me to wait for a while. After all, she’s impossible to run around with Transmission Formation, and she has to go to the production unit to get the Transmission Formation. Taking advantage of the Rose’s time to get the Transmission Formation, I asked the Elders of Sigma Sea Clan to take me to their library and establish their racial affiliation with our guild. I heard the long-lost system hint as soon as the affiliation was established. "Congratulations to the Frost Rose League for joining the new race. Let’s start reloading the guild information...."

A series of continuous guild information loading prompts make my information screen like a waterfall. I can’t Don't open the information bar and wait for it to finish, then turn back to the top one by one.

The new guild information just loaded is actually not a lot, mainly in two aspects, one is the guild map and guild history, and the other is the guild technology. The guild map represents the size of the area that a guild can explore in the game. Its main source is the map explored by all players in the guild and the map developed in the guild mission. It is also purchased from other guilds. Maps or conquering other guilds can also get maps. However, it should be noted here that the premise for the conquering guild to obtain a map is that the other party has a guild library and it is successfully occupied by you. If the library is destroyed before being controlled, you will still get nothing.

Once the guild map is obtained, it will be automatically backed up in the guild database. If your guild has its own city and built a library in it, then the members of the guild will You can download the map here from this library. You can use this map to learn about the distribution of monsters in some areas, as well as approximate routes of action and mineral distribution. However, the download of the guild map is not constant. If you quit the guild , The guild map you downloaded will automatically disappear. Of course, the regions you have explored will not be erased, but the maps of the regions you downloaded and have not explored will be erased.

In addition to the map, the historical database is also an important guild resource. Similar to the map, the historical data will also be stored in the guild database, and when the guild has a library, the guild will The personnel can also download the historical data in the guild data. However, unlike the map, historical data does not help you identify the way and distinguish the monster area. Its function is to help you trigger and complete tasks. Many tasks in "Zero" will only be triggered if you save the corresponding historical data, and some data will be used in the process of some tasks. Give a more common example. The history of Atlantis itself is a task with a high task trigger rate. If I don’t have historical data on Atlantis, then today will not trigger this Sigma Sea Clan quest, but will directly fight the opponent. Get up, or develop the task in another way. As for the application of historical data in missions, this one is even more common. Like language data is an important part of historical data. Many tasks in "Zero" will encounter all kinds of strange words. Without the corresponding historical data, you will not be able to understand these words. If you cannot read the words, it does not mean that you will not be able to complete the task, but at least the difficulty will continue to jump up a few times. Levels, so mastering the history is also an expression of the strength of the guild.

However, although maps and history are important, technology that can quickly play a practical role is still counted as technology. But unlike the first two attributes, technology is not used by all guilds. Just as players have their own levels, guilds also have their own levels, but this level is not a number but a rank. The lowest guild is called the squad guild, the higher level 1 is the league guild, the higher level is the organization guild, the level 4 is the local power guild, and the level 5 is the national guild. , And our guild belongs to Level 6-the regional Overlord level guild. To have the ability to use resources such as technology, you need at least one Level 3 guild, that is, an organization-level guild. You won’t be able to use the first two levels of guilds even if you get scientific and technological information, because you can only build a research institute at Level 3. Of course, the research institutes at this level have limited capabilities, and you can’t use too complex technology. But it's different at the level of our guild. As long as you get relevant information, you can basically research any technology. It just needs two things-time + money.

Just now after Sigma Sea Clan joined our guild’s technical achievements database, a large number of new technologies suddenly appeared in the guild’s technical achievements database. The content is actually so large that it needs to be divided into several categories to display it, but What surprises me is that these technologies are almost all focused on the extraction and utilization of magic crystal energy. It can be said that Sigma Sea Clan’s technology has seriously deviated from the normal development track, even if it is partial, it cannot be biased like this. Ah? Although the purification and transformation techniques of magic crystal are very important, you can't just stare at this research!

"That...!" I called the veteran of Sigma Sea Clan in front of me, and then showed him the pedigree of the technical data. "Why are your technologies concentrated on these two aspects?"

"There is a reason for this." The Sigma veteran explained: "You also know that our Sigma Sea Clan's specialty is technology. Development rather than production. It can be said that the members of our Sigma Sea Clan are all born scientists, but we will not at all in other aspects. Because we have been separated from Mermaid Race for too long, our resource reserves have already been consumed almost. Nothing. The experimental materials, no matter how clever we are, we can’t invent anything out of thin air! Fortunately, there is a large reserve of magic crystal veins in this place, but the purity is low, so we live under the premise of only magic crystal this materials. Under the pressure of the company, the research direction has been focused on the energy extraction and conversion rate of magic crystal, so that our research will not stop, and these research results can also be applied to our actual production immediately, which has practical use value for us. Don't Even if we can imagine the technology, we still can’t produce it without the materials, so we simply gave up the research in those areas."

I’m nodded, it seems that Sigma Sea Clan couldn’t force it to lame. Fortunately, these two aspects of technology are not too wasteful. The first is the extraction of magic crystal energy. This technology is similar to the mining of iron ore in real life. If your production technology is poor, you can extract less iron from the same iron ore than others, and a factory with a good production technology can even get it completely from you. Iron is extracted from unusable slag. Although the magic crystal does not need to be extracted, the energy in the magic crystal does need to be extracted. We compare a magic crystal to an energy warehouse. Assuming that the energy in it is one hundred, we can extract about forty energy from it with our current technology. As for the other sixty units are not left in the magic crystal and cannot be extracted, but Lost during the extraction process. At present, our guild conducts small-scale extraction in the laboratory to reach an extraction ratio of 50%, but in large-scale production, it is impossible to use laboratory methods for extraction, so the extraction rate has not been improved. In fact, the ratio of our guilds is quite good. If the average small guild can reach 35% of the withdrawal rate, even if the ratio is wrong, we are 5 percentage points more, then equivalent to every 100 We equivalently earned an extra five tons of ore per ton of ore, and this account is still very cost-effective.

Although our guild’s extraction rate is already among the best in all guilds, compared with Sigma Sea Clan’s technology, it’s simply spoiling the ore, because the large-scale extraction rate of Sigma Sea Clan’s technology turned out to be 89%, more than double ours. What is this concept? This basically means that we can now use one ton of ore as two tons, and there will be surplus in the end. What a terrifying usage rate this is! After reading this ratio, I quickly notified Rose to stop all the magic crystal energy extractors in our guild. All this wasted money!

In addition to the extraction rate, the conversion rate is also a major hurdle in the use of magic crystal. Just like in reality, there is power loss in the process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy or thermal energy. After the magic crystal energy in the game is extracted, there is also a huge waste of energy when it is converted and used, and this waste is still more serious. At present, magic crystal energy is generally converted into mechanical energy and magic energy in two circulation methods. This mechanical energy is relatively simple, just like the equivalent to driving a machine with electricity, except that magic energy is used in the game. This mechanical energy conversion is more common in the battleship and magic puppets of our guild. As for the magic energy, it is mainly responsible for two aspects, one is defense and the other is offense. The city shield relies on the energy extracted by the magic crystal to operate, and the magic weapons in the city also rely on this energy to attack. The conversion of mechanical energy in the operation of these energies is the most problematic part, and the conversion of magical energy is better in comparison. At present, the conversion rate of our guild into magic crystal energy used on weapons and shields is about 70%, which means that more than 20% of the energy will be consumed before attacking or defending. Lost. To make matters worse, the wasted energy is not disappeared, but transformed into free energy. These free energy will not participate in the beneficial function, but will interfere with the protection of the defensive shield and the accuracy of the magic cannon. Degree and formidable power, that is to say, the actually wasted energy is counterproductive. In terms of mechanical energy conversion, our guild’s current conversion rate is 50%, or half. After the two units of magic crystal energy are transmitted to the mechanical converter, only one unit of mechanical energy will be output, and part of this energy will be wasted due to friction and other undesirable effects. The final actual effective work is really low to an horrible level.

Although the conversion rate of our guild is so low, we are still the absolute boss of Mount Tai Big Dipper in the application of magic energy. But let's look at the conversion rate of Sigma Sea Clan-the conversion rate of mechanical energy is 97.8%, and the conversion rate of magic energy is... infinitely close to 100%. Nearly zero loss conversion rate, this leap not only saves energy, reduces the power consumption of weapons and shield generators, but also greatly increases its transmission power. Without the interference of free energy, the weapon system will be more precise and destructive power, and the protective cover will be stronger. What a leap!

Actually, the two conversion rates that I look at are only the main research directions of Sigma Sea Clan. They also have an auxiliary research project that is not very prominent but very important-Magic Transmission Technology.

"Can you perform remote wireless energy transmission?" I asked the veteran of Sigma Sea Clan in surprise.

"I can't talk about long-distance. The current practical distance is only eight kilometers. No matter how far away, there will be serious energy attenuation."

"Eight kilometers? Enough! "Wow ha ha, the biggest problem of binding our guild has finally been solved. Our guild had always wanted to produce a large number of strong war dolls instead of NPC mercenaries to participate in the battle. First, the dolls are cheap, and second, they can be used repeatedly. Even if they are broken, they will not be destroyed. What's left, just disassemble and reassemble it to restore it to the original state, so the average performance will be much higher than that of NPC. But the motivation to drive high level magic puppets has always been a big problem. The general red pattern magic crystal can only drive a purely physical attack type magic puppet, and there is a limit to the time it can be used. The colorful magic crystal is very powerful, but unfortunately this thing is harder to find than the two-legged toad. If you want to mass-produce it, you can't even think about it. But now the problem is solved. As long as the magic puppet group is equipped with a transport vehicle equipped with an energy converter and a transmitter, it can support the magic puppet within eight kilometers to continue fighting. Although it is still not very convenient, it can at least be put into practical application. "Take me to see that transmitter." I shouted excitedly, but Sigma Elder poured cold water on my pocket.

"Now we may not be able to meet your requirements!"
