Chapter 628 War preparations
On the contrary, the territory of the Yanhuo clan was becoming increasingly hot, and the land was turning a fiery red.
Dongmen Qiansha has even detected the surging magma underground, as if announcing the endless enthusiasm and vitality of this land.
As for the territory of 'Xianjue clan', lightning and thunder have become the norm.
Even under a clear sky, dense lightning can streak across the sky and shock people.
However, for the people living here, this has become a common sight.
Such a big change naturally could not escape the sharp eyes of the Crow People, and they were also extremely confused by this phenomenon.
Changes in geographical environment are not uncommon, but such drastic and significant changes in a short period of time are unprecedented and incredible.
The Crow People held several meetings for this purpose. Seeing that the once barren land had been transformed into fertile soil, a subtle change also occurred in their hearts.
Although this new land is far from comparable to their current residence, it is undoubtedly an ideal choice to assign it to them and use it as a production base.
However, now is not the time to act.
Through the trade with 'Shennong', the Crow People obtained a large number of precious magical fruits. In the past year, these fruits have brought them a significant increase in strength.
But despite this, we currently do not have the strength to defeat the merfolk in one fell swoop and expel them from the lake completely.
Therefore, the Crow People still need to be patient.
For the five major tribes, they are experiencing another kind of prosperity.
With the arrival of the second and third batches of newborns, the number of ethnic groups in the tribe has been greatly expanded.
At the same time, thanks to the constant and sufficient supply of food, they were able to devote all their energy to the construction of military defense.
At this moment, a new type of rocket launcher is being tested at the test site adjacent to the huge arsenal of "Bawang".
Suddenly, a sharp long whistle pierced the sky, and from a black gun barrel, a rocket launcher about one meter long with a fiery red tail flame rose rapidly into the air.
However, the flight trajectory of this rocket launcher was not stable. It swayed in the air, twisting and turning, and climbed to a height of more than 500 meters.
Then, accompanied by a deafening bang, the rocket launcher turned into a dazzling fireball in the air, instantly lighting up the entire test site...
Saibei, the leader of the Overlord Clan, looked up at the sky, his eyes following the falling wreckage, his brows slightly furrowed.
He said in a deep voice: "The power of this rocket launcher is indeed impressive, even surpassing our artillery, but its accuracy is too poor. It was clearly launched from here, but it went over there."
"Hehe." Li Nan chuckled, his eyes flashing with excitement that was hard to conceal. "Chief Saibei, in fact, the hit rate is not the primary issue to consider. It is enough as long as we can roughly control the launch direction."
"The key is that we must focus on increasing the production of rocket launchers and make up for the lack of accuracy through quantity."
He paused and continued enthusiastically: "Artillery is actually very limited in its effectiveness against aerial targets, but rocket launchers are completely different."
"Its long-range strike capability is outstanding, especially the metal fragments flying after the mid-air explosion. This will become a deadly weapon against the Crow People."
"If the Crowmen want to break through our fortress, they have no choice but to gather a large army and storm it. If we can fire hundreds of cannons simultaneously, even if the hit rate is lacking, it will be enough to cause them heavy casualties and cause rivers of blood to flow."
Saibei thought about it and felt that this statement was indeed reasonable. However, he remembered another thorny problem. "Making rocket artillery tubes is not difficult. At worst, we can just add another furnace."
"But the supply of fire crystal powder may be a bit stretched. Moreover, the Crowmen are no longer willing to mine this dangerous mineral. We must find a new solution."
"Regarding this issue, my idea is to mine the fire crystal mine myself." Li Nan looked at Saibei with a sharp gaze. "That hot zone is about 200 kilometers away from our territory. Although it is a little far, it is not impossible."
"So, we can first open a road leading there, and then transport the mined fire crystal ore back by cart."
Saibei thought for a moment, then suggested: "How about we gather the other three clan leaders to discuss this plan together?"
"Okay." Li Nan nodded.
Two days later, in the meeting hall of the Shennong tribe, the five clan leaders had an in-depth discussion and finally unanimously approved the plan to mine the fire crystal mine.
For such critical strategic materials, we do need to make more preparations in case of emergency.
It is not difficult to build a road leading to the fire crystal mining area and establish refining facilities in the mining area.
Today, due to the long-term consumption of the God-given fruit, the physique of members of each tribe has become extremely strong, even to the point where it cannot be improved any further.
Therefore, some monsters that once posed a threat in the territory have basically been completely eliminated.
The fire crystal mining area, due to its extremely hot and dangerous environment, has become a true barren land where no living creatures can survive.
In summary, the biggest challenge for the five tribes is not the difficulty or threat, but the urgency of time.
Since they cannot accurately predict the time of the decisive battle between the Crowmen and the Murlocs, they can only passively carry out various preparations to deal with the war that is about to break out in the future.
Naturally, their actions could not escape the notice of the Crow People, and this situation caused some controversy among the Crow People's senior leaders.
However, the Crow People still did not take this matter too seriously.
This is mainly due to their confidence in their own powerful strength. What's more, the Crow People can launch attacks in the sky, which undoubtedly has a huge natural advantage over those creatures that can only crawl on the ground.
At the same time, they have never truly experienced the power of artillery.
Although the diplomats stationed there noticed the densely packed black gun barrels on the fortress, no one knew the true purpose of these gun barrels, and some even mistakenly thought they were just small windows for observing the outside world.
The mining of the fire crystal mine is progressing more smoothly than expected, which is mainly due to the unique high temperature resistance of the "Yanhuo Clan".
In comparison, their mining efficiency in high temperature environments far exceeds that of the Crow People, who are not very adaptable to hot environments.
As truckload after truckload of fire crystal ore was continuously transported to the tribal workshop and refined into powerful red crystal powder, the Crowmen were also making final preparations for the decisive battle with the Murlocs that would determine the future of their tribe.
