Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

　　 With the appearance of the system prompt, the war finally came to an end. Since Ning Yuan didn't want to see the body of Old Zhang Tou, after Ning Yuan arranged for his men to clean the battlefield, he first returned to Zhang Shoucai's palace with his guards.

　　 After returning to the palace, Ning Yuan left two hundred condor warriors guarding the palace. The others were sent out by him to find the ordinary people who were used as bait by Zhang Shoucai.

　　 Now that Lao Zhang's head is dead, these people are now Ning Yuan’s private property, so he must find them back before dark, otherwise they will find it difficult to survive the night without the protection of enough fighters.

It may be because of this "following offense." Ning Yuan's luck in opening the treasure chest today was not very good. The four items from the diamond-level treasure chest turned out to be only silver-level. It might as well be captured from the head of the old Zhang. Those two special props.

A bronze-level civilization heritage scroll, a silver-level gold medal for immunity, a silver-level resource trading certificate, and a barrel of silver-level cloud-piercing arrows. What was captured from Zhang Shoucai was a gold-level civilization plundering scroll. And a diamond-level escape scroll.

Cloud Piercing Arrow: Special props, silver grade, ten packs per pack. It can fly to high altitude quickly after ignition. Cloud Piercing Arrow will continue to make a piercing sound during the flight. When it reaches the top, it will The "bang" exploded, forming a beautiful firework rain (only visible in the dark).

　　 Cloud Piercing Arrow is an enhanced version of the signal flare. Although Ning Yuan has not driven the flare before, he has seen the attributes of the flare on the forum.

　　 Signal flares: Special props, bronze grade, ten pieces per pack. The flares are a simple firecracker. After being ignited, it will immediately fly to the sky and explode with a "bang".

It is also a pack of ten. The signal bounces and then "Boom" is over, and the cloud-piercing arrow will not only continuously scream, but in the dark, it will finally form a beautiful firework rain. It looks much taller than a flare.

　　 Of course, as a special silver-level prop, in addition to being tall and noble, the practicability of the piercing arrow greatly exceeds that of the signal flare.

　　 As can be seen from the name, both the signal flare and the cloud-piercing arrow are used to convey messages. However, the flares only make a "bang" sound. If it is in a noisy environment, people may not hear the flares.

But the Cloud Piercing Arrow is different. The continuous chirping sound it makes during the flight will undoubtedly be more noticeable. If it is at night, the effect will be even better. I believe that as long as you are not blind, you can definitely see it. Fireworks raining in the sky.

　　 As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Cloud Piercing Arrows outperform the bronze signal flare both in terms of efficacy and appearance. This is undoubtedly a very practical special item in the era of cold weapons where it is very difficult to transmit information.

　　 With it, the army ambushing in different places can attack the enemy at the same time. It can be said to be a weapon for commanding the army in coordinated operations.

　　Civilization Plunder Scroll: Special props, gold level, can be used after winning the invasion war and successfully killing the lord player of the defending country, you can plunder the opponent's special civilization while retaining your original civilization.

　　 Although the Scroll of Civilization Plunder is a special item of the gold level, it can be purchased in the system mall. Of course, it will definitely be a lot more expensive in terms of price, requiring a hundred research points.

　　 Ordinary lord players, if there are no natural wonders and world miracles in their territory, they can only get 30 scientific research points a month, and 100 scientific research points must be saved for at least 100 days.

　　 And during this period, they can't use the research point to research the technology tree, so although the civilization plundering scroll can be purchased in the system mall, it does not affect its transaction value in any way.

　　 It is said that a civilization plundering scroll has been fired up to the price of 500,000 earth coins, and it is still a priceless one.

　　 Many people may not understand why the war-free token worth ten scientific research points is only 10,000 yuan, while the civilization plundering scroll of 100 points is 500,000 yuan?

　　 In fact, this point is very easy to explain. A ten-point scientific research point can be used by a lord, but a hundred scientific research points can be used by few lords.

　　 And the war-free token is a special bronze item, which can be easily opened from the treasure chest.

However, the civilization plundering scrolls, which are special gold-level props, are not so easy to open. Therefore, when the early scientific research points are very precious, many people would rather spend money directly to purchase the civilization plundering scrolls than to move their own. Valuable scientific research point.

Of course, if a player does not use any scientific research points from the beginning to the end, he can use the saved scientific research points to buy the civilization plunder scrolls and sell them to those in need. This is also a way to make a fortune. the way.

　　 However, if the player lords don't use a little scientific research point, can they really survive a hundred days?

Leaving aside the mutual invasions between players, even the aboriginal tribes of their own plane are enough for these lords to drink a pot. How many people can survive when there are no people and no food. After these three months of novice period?

　　 So although this is a way to get rich, not many people can reach the end, and even if someone is lucky enough to reach the end, I am afraid they have already lost the qualification to compete with others.

　　 Use a precious lord qualification to bet the 500,000 yuan. Whether this transaction is worth it or not is entirely a matter of opinion between the benevolent and the wise.

　　 Although the Scroll of Civilization Plunder is very precious, it does not seem to be of much use to Ning Yuan, because his own conqueror talent already has this effect.

　　 And the conqueror talent not only has the ability to plunder civilization, but also plunder resources. It can be described as a two-in-one version of civilization plunder scroll and resource plunder scroll.

　　 After possessing the talent of the conqueror, Ning Yuan no longer has to spend this wasted money. It can be said that the talent of the conqueror is the real priceless treasure.

I think that the reason why Ning Yuan was able to survive with a stubborn salary and surrender was completely because he was reluctant to bear this random god-level talent. Otherwise, with his character as a player, he would rather commit suicide directly than take the initiative to bear it. Kind of torture and insult.

　　 Just like Murong Yan, after knowing that she could not escape, she decisively chose to commit suicide, not giving Ning Yuan a chance to continue her verbal abuse.

　　 Although death is a huge loss for players, it is not that they will never have a chance to rise again. Therefore, many players with strong characters would rather do it all over again than be humiliated in the game.

　　 After all, they are here to play the game, not for the game to play them.

　　 With the talent of the conqueror, civilization plundered the scroll. Although Ning Yuan could not use it, he could sell it for money or exchange it for some special items he needed.

　　 For this expense alone, Ning Yuan earned one million inside and outside, and this is indeed an astronomical figure for the long term.

　　 In addition to the civilization plundering scroll, Ning Yuan also seized an escape scroll from Lao Zhang's head. It is incredible that an old man who is nearly seventy years old could be so rich. It seems that this "first emperor" is still something.

　　 What a pity, the escape scroll can only be used when invading other planes. In your own plane, it is no different from a piece of waste paper. Otherwise, our uncle, the First Emperor, can directly escape with it.

　　......

　　 As the sky gradually darkened, the Condor soldiers who went out to find the "bait" returned to the camp one after another. They found more than 2,000 women and children and more than 100 soldiers under Zhang Shoucai.

　　 After learning that his Majesty First Emperor had died, all these people chose to surrender.

　　 After all, in this barbaric era where wild beasts are rampant, more than two thousand ordinary people cannot be supported by just over a hundred warriors, so in order to survive, surrender to Ningyuan is their only choice.

　　 In addition to these prisoners, Ning Yuan also captured more than 800 soldiers in the previous battle. Because of the advantage of the iron long rod, the Condor fighters completely defeated the enemy's shield formation in this battle. In the situation where the door was closed and the dog was hit, the Condor fighters basically had no casualties.

　　 Ning Yuan led his army to fought so many battles. This is the first time such a complete victory over the opponent has occurred without any casualties on his side. It can be seen how terrible it is to fight each other on the battlefield.

Although the enemy's shield formation completely defeated the archers on Ning Yuan's side at the beginning, when the shield formation was destroyed by the Condor Legion, the archers immediately became life-demanding messengers, and the enemy surrounded by them could only keep their eyes open. Watching them keep reaping.

　　 If this battle were not absolutely suppressed by the archers, even if the Condor Legion were able to win in the end, they might suffer considerable losses. After all, they would need to advance bit by bit until the enemy was completely defeated.

　　 And the appearance of the archers directly made them skip this step.

When the enemy lacks long-range attack methods, they only need to surround the enemy tightly, and hand over the heavy task of attacking the enemy to the archers. This kind of close-door fighting of dogs and turtles in the urn is too easy. Up.

　　 On the other hand, Zhang Shoucai, although he produced an infantry shield, the weapon is still a stone spear tied to a wooden pole. Compared with the iron rod in the hands of the condor warriors, this wooden stone spear is still too backward.

　　 The iron rods in the hands of the Condor Warriors can stab, smash, and swing. You can use them as you want. Anyway, they can't be broken.

　　 But the stone spears in their hands can only be used for stabs, because the wooden spear shaft is not so strong, so in order to avoid the spear shaft from breaking, they only have a stab attack.

　　In the past, when dealing with barbarians holding stone axes, these warriors only need to pierce the spears in their hands from the gap between the shields.

　　 Because those enemies with stone axes want to attack the shield formation, they must rush to the front. At this time, the advantage of the length of the stone spear is revealed. They can stab them before the enemy attacks the shield formation.

Although a stone axe can be regarded as a blunt weapon, it is made of stone after all, so even if the enemy can hit the shield with a stone axe, the final result is often a dent in the place where the shield was smashed, and the stone axe is very likely It will break or shatter.

　　 It can be said that Zhang Shoucai's previous battles were basically won by relying on the shield formation to restrain the enemy's stone axe, and then using the spearman to continuously assassinate the enemy.

　　 This trick can be described as a hundred-thirty-five-hunting. As long as the enemy can't break through his shield formation, it can only be eaten away by the spearmen in the shield formation.

　　 It's a pity that he met Ning Yuan this time. Although the iron long rod was not very restrained from the shield formation, the spearmen inside could only watch the enemy smash the shield formation one by one because of the inadequacy of the stone spear.

If they were holding a five- or six-meter-long spear at this time, then the Condor warriors would not have any chance to attack the shield formation. As long as the Condor warriors dared to approach, they would use their spears to attack the gods. The eagle soldiers pierced.

Zhang Shoucai’s shield array is like a wooden barrel. The lack of attack ability is the short board of this barrel. The Condor Warriors just grabbed this short board and defeated the entire shield array in one fell swoop and created it for the archers. An excellent output opportunity, and finally won.

　　 Although Zhang Shoucai's shield formation was broken by Ning Yuan, the main reason was not that there was a problem with his idea, but that the existing conditions could not satisfy his idea.

　　 Therefore, Lord Ning Yuan, who is good at summarizing, began to look at this shield formation. After all, when he first saw this shield formation, Ning Yuan was shocked.

　　 Learning is definitely to learn, but it cannot be copied completely, because Ning Yuan discovered that the shield array invented by Zhang Shoucai has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, its mobility is too poor.

　　 The shield array invented by the old Zhang Tou does not look at the various deformations that can crackle when it is defensive. It looks awesome, but it is not difficult to find that he is always passively beaten.

　　 That is to say, this shield formation is waiting for the enemy to rush over and take the initiative to attack. Once the enemy gets a bit of brain and does not choose to be hardened with them, then the entire shield formation is like the Maginot Line and can only become a decoration.

　　 That's right, Ning Yuan is the brainless guy. Although he is good at summing up after the fact, he is always prone to get feverish in battle, and this is also the case today.

In fact, he could send an army to hold the enemy, and then he led another army to attack the enemy’s base camp. Unfortunately, he only had the enemies in front of him. After the bow and arrow suppression failed, he directly Charged up with the army....

　　 Of course, maneuverability is not always required. If it takes an absolute advantage on the terrain, such as when it is in a place where it must pass, maneuverability is not so important.

　　Because the enemy wants to pass, he has to be positive, otherwise he can only retreat obediently.

Ning Yuan repeatedly compared Wei Wuzu’s fighting style with Lao Zhangtou’s shield formation, and came to a conclusion that the modulus is ambivalent, that is, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, rather than letting the two play against each other. , Wei Wuzu should be able to achieve a complete victory.

　　Three layers of heavy armor, halberds, crossbow arrows, iron swords, rhino-faced large sculls, this is the standard configuration of Wei Wuzu.

　　 It can be seen from these equipment that Wei Wuzu is a special unit with both offensive and defensive capabilities. They have no obvious shortcomings. In the field, if you want to defeat such an army, you will pay a very heavy price.

　　 If we have to find a shortcoming for Wei Wuzu, then it might be a difficulty in training. Being able to attack and defend, close and far, want to train such a versatile unit, it will definitely pay a high price.

　　 First of all, I won't talk about the equipment. After all, without these equipment, they would not be able to call it Wei Wuzu.

　　 We must know that the reason why special forces are strong is that, in addition to the careful selection of personnel, the equipment configured for them also accounts for a large proportion.

　　 Without equipment, even if you train them to be more elite, the enemy will shoot a wave of arrows, they are damned or dead, so weapons and equipment must be available.

　　Secondly, if you want a person to master so many equipment from scratch, rigorous training must be indispensable, and the training time must not be short.

　　 After all, fighting on the battlefield, personal strength is insignificant, and only a coordinated battle formation can exert the maximum combat effectiveness of these fighters.

Finally, elite soldiers need to be selected by thousands of choices. Not everyone can master these weapons and equipment. People have different physical fitness. Some people who are inherently weak are not suitable for this training because they don’t have one. Enough physical energy to support it.

But it seems that in this special era, this most important personnel requirement is the easiest to achieve. Because of the cruel living environment, most of those frail and sick individuals have been eliminated by nature, and those who can survive The strongest individual.

　　 Therefore, if Ning Yuan wants to train Wei Wuzuo, there is no need to worry about the personnel at all. There are not many other things in the Condor tribe, that is, the most powerful muscles and sticks. Now it is the equipment and time that restrict him to train Wei Wuzuo.

　　 Compared with Wei Wuzu's training difficulty, this castrated version of the Macedonian phalanx of Zhang Shoucai is relatively simpler.

　　Although this phalanx also requires a certain amount of equipment support, compared with Wei Wuzu's various equipment, this phalanx needs much less equipment.

　　 The two most important core equipment of the entire phalanx are the shield and the spear. As long as the shield and the spear are manufactured, the entire phalanx will take shape.

In view of the fact that the real Macedonian phalanx still needs the protection of auxiliary arms, at this stage, the old Zhangtou defensive shield is more practical. As long as the shield is arranged on favorable terrain for defense, the enemy wants to break the shield. Will pay a very heavy price.

　　 And the Condor tribe is not like Lao Zhangtou, where there are no archers. The elf archers are the best archers in the world. With their assistance, this shield formation is even more unbreakable.

　　 So before training a real Wei Wu pawn, Ning Yuan planned to get this shield formation first.

　　 The shield can only be snapped before finding tin or lead, while the spear is very simple. As long as you test which kind of wood is the hardest, the problem of the spear shaft is solved.

　　 As for the spearhead, you have to wait a while. The blacksmiths in the Condor tribe are still unable to build a qualified spearhead. It seems that the plundering dwarf civilization must be on the agenda.

　　 In addition to learning this shield formation in this invasion, Ning Yuan’s biggest gain is probably the copper mine here.

　　The metal used by Zhang Shoucai to make the shield is copper. To be precise, it should be pure copper.

　　Copper is one of the earliest metals used by humans.

　　 As early as prehistoric times, people began to excavate open-pit copper mines and use the obtained copper to make weapons, tools and other utensils. The use of copper had a profound impact on the progress of early human civilization. The discovery of copper was a starting point for mankind to enter the Bronze Age.

However, pure copper is relatively soft and not suitable for making weapons. The shields smashed by the condor warriors are the best proof. If you want to use copper to make weapons, you must add tin or lead to it to turn it into bronze.

　　 Bronze has the characteristics of low melting point, high hardness, strong plasticity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, bright color, etc. ~www.novelmtl.com~ It is very suitable for casting various appliances and weapons.

　　 Although I don’t know if the ancient sharp bronze sword will appear in this game.

　　 But with the advent of bronze weapons, the entire game structure will be completely changed, the Stone Age will be completely ended, and the barbarian tribes who still hold stone axes will be eliminated.

　　 In addition to these uses, copper has one of the biggest uses, that is, it can be used to mint currency.

　　With the continuous development and progress of society, the buds of private ownership will gradually emerge. When private ownership has developed to a certain extent, the emergence of currency is a necessity.

　　At that time, people's daily life will be inseparable from currency. Currency can not only represent a person's wealth, but also an important medium for "daily communication" between people.

　　 If there is no currency circulation in a power, then this power will never develop, because its internal competitiveness will be lack of competitiveness and it will not be able to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone.

　　In the game of Savage and Civilization, although the player lords cannot mint currency by themselves, they can take the gold, silver, and copper they get to the system and directly exchange them for the corresponding gold, silver and copper coins.

　　 The reason why Nuwa would deprive the players of the right to mint is mainly to prevent players from making fraud and shortcomings in the minting.

And a unified currency system is also conducive to various transactions between players, between players and natives, and between natives and natives. In this way, the vicious events of inflation will not easily occur in the game. .

　　The copper mine discovered by Zhang Shoucai is an open-pit copper mine. So far it has not been fully lighted, so Ning Yuan simply looted the entire copper mine together with the camp, and chose the location on the south side of Wanjun Mountain.
