This is the only explanation Niu Bi can give himself right now.
"Number 1, quickly build a power plant and an ore extraction plant!" Niu Bi remembered that the base had just been reduced to ruins by seven or eight tanks, and his heart tightened. He had to develop it quickly.
If you finally get incredibly lucky and find a mobile base vehicle, only to have it destroyed, then all you can do is hide in a corner and cry your heart out.
"Yes, Commander!"
Upon hearing this, Number 1 turned and went back to the control room, but a short while later, the commander came out again. "Reporting, Commander, without gold, construction is impossible!"
"No gold?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Bi instantly felt like he'd been screwed over. He'd forgotten that the base vehicle he'd just picked up didn't have any initial development funds.
"How about gold bars?"
Niu Bi's heart skipped a beat. Didn't he have more than 3,000 gold bars in his Hall of Conquerors?
Some of these gold bars were earned by Niu Bi in the past three months, but most of them came from Jin Dashan.
"Commander, as long as it's gold, it can be used to exchange for and construct weapons and equipment of equal value!" Number 1 replied.
"Alright, go inside and wait for me for ten minutes," Niu Bi said, letting Robot No. 1 in because he didn't want him to see him taking gold bars from the Overlord's Hall.
"Yes, Commander."
As soon as Number 1 entered the control room, Niu Bi quickly opened the portal, dragged out all 3,000-plus gold bars from the Overlord's Hall, and then quickly closed the portal. The whole process took less than a minute.
"Number 1, it's ready."
"Commander, with the gold bars, our development will be five times faster!" A look of joy appeared on the face of Machine No. 1, and with a wave of his hand, all the gold bars disappeared.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A loud bang rang out.
On the open ground outside the base, a blue-purple power plant and a phantom of an ore mining plant appeared, with a progress bar on the phantom showing the construction progress.
A prospecting vehicle chugged along into the distance.
Because Niu Bi was not the location selected at the start of the game, and there were no gold mines nearby, the prospecting vehicle drove a long way and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This is slightly different from the Red Alert games I've played before. When playing on the computer, there are option icons. After spending a certain amount of money and building time, you select a location and place the item to complete the construction."
"But mine is entirely operated by Number 1."
"Number 1, build a barracks, starting with 50 soldiers! Defend the entrance to the mountain pass! Use any extra gold to build a war machine factory and an air command post!" Niu Bi ordered. He knew the importance of defense; he didn't know how many fortifications he could build with his 3,000-plus gold bars.
Furthermore, I'm much behind the other players on this map in terms of development, and I don't know when they will attack.
"Yes, Commander!"
As soon as Number 1 agreed, a barracks rose up in front of the base.
Niu Bi then entered the control room, where he saw a large screen in front of Number 1. He kept clicking on it, building, and then finding a suitable location to place it.
"Number 1: Build 10 machine gun bunkers, 5 on each side of the downhill road, and 25 soldiers on each side of the road. At the same time, build 3 anti-aircraft guns and place them in a triangular formation around the base!"
"There are still gold bars left? Enough to build five more prospecting vehicles!"
"Use all the remaining gold bars to build rocket vehicles!"
Seeing Niu Bi's series of commands, Robot No. 1 stared blankly for a long time before saying, "Commander, your strategy is very reasonable. You truly deserve to be called a battle-hardened commander!"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Niu Bi felt a pang of shame. A veteran of countless battles? That's true in the Red Alert game, but in reality, he's a gun, two eggs, and hasn't seen combat for twenty-one years.
Waaah~~~~
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded.
Down the mountain, seven anti-aircraft tracked vehicles arrived, and further away, there was even a suicide truck speeding along the mountain road!
"Number 1, order the soldiers to defend, all tanks to attack, and the air force to the lower left to destroy the suicide trucks!" Niu Bi ordered immediately upon seeing the approaching enemy on the map in the control room.
"Yes, Commander."
Under Niu Bi's command, two soldiers were lost, all the invading tanks were destroyed on the mountain road, and the suicide truck was blown up by the highly mobile rocket soldiers the moment it went up the mountain.
They crushed the enemy's first attack.
Niu Bi felt much more at ease.
He knew that, generally, unless it was a player, if it were the computer, they would launch another attack every few minutes.
Judging from the intensity of the attack and the deployment of troops, it was undoubtedly a computer-generated attack.
Time passes.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
With the establishment of the science and technology laboratory and the satellite, Niu Bi saw the entire map on the small screen in the control room!
Malibu Cliffs!
This map is very clear and suitable for 6 players.
Including Niu Bi's base, there are three other players and the computer on the entire map.
