Rise of the Plants

While imagining the power of the new artillery shells crisscrossing the battlefield, no one knew how to express their expressions. On the one hand, it is the fear caused by the terrifying weapons, and on the other hand, it is also the excitement.

With this kind of weapon in one's own territory, the combat effectiveness will definitely be far superior to that of any other territory. But with this kind of weapon, the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.

Thinking that they might have to face this kind of weapon in the future, everyone felt a wave of awe in their hearts.

Think about it again, with such a powerful weapon, what is the purpose of your hard training? If there are a large number of such weapons, not to mention that the black iron warriors like myself who have worked so hard to practice will be useless. Even bronze-level warriors will have a problem whether they can survive such an attack. It is really terrible.

Will the senior soldiers be completely removed from the frontal battlefield in the future? Several guards glanced at each other and saw the helplessness and admiration in each other's eyes.

But fortunately, he was originally a guard, protecting the lord. In terms of protection, no matter how powerful these cannons are, they are definitely not as good as warriors like them. This is where their value is reflected.

"Sir, with these cannonballs, our strength will definitely be greatly improved. Those wild orcs will definitely not be able to attack our giant wooden city. However, our number of pack horses is somewhat insufficient."

"Workhorse? Has the price increased again?" The price of workhorse has been rising recently.

"It's not a matter of rising prices, but it's just that you can't buy them even if you have money. The current draft horses have either been reserved by major nobles, or they have been hoarded by businessmen who want to wait until prices continue to rise before selling them."

What a bunch of profiteers, Chi Nan cursed in his heart, completely unaware that he was also a profiteer, or whose fault all this was. If it weren't for its own pneumatic cannon, how could the packhorse have such a high price?

"Now we don't have enough packhorses to arm our army in Hongshaling. We don't have any here in Giant Wood City."

Chi Nan waved his hand: "The situation here in Jumu City is even more serious. You can ask someone to notify one leg. He can keep only one third of our army's pack horses and send the rest temporarily. As for the problem of not enough pack horses, I Come and think of a solution." His good mood was ruined by this bad news.

The bald father nodded quickly. From now on, Jumu City will be in charge of himself. After taking the others away and asking people to collect the cannonballs here, Chi Nan left the place on his own.

While strengthening the city wall, I take the time to study the problem of pneumatic cannons.

"How can such a big cannon be moved quickly on the battlefield without a packhorse? There are cannons on Earth too. How do they move the cannons?"

"Use a car? It's no different from a packhorse. There are no cars among plants. Then the rest... wait, tanks, yes, why did I forget this king of land warfare?"

Chi Nan's eyes suddenly lit up. Since tanks can be made with industrial machinery on earth, why can't he make them with plants? It just requires plants that can move.

Wheels, tracks, etc., just plant them yourself. Forget it, the tracks won't be used for the time being, let's make the wheels thicker first. Under Chi Nan's control, a six-wheel chassis was manufactured.

"But how can we make the wheels turn?" After Chi Nan integrated a pneumatic cannon with the chassis, he found that there was no way to make this thing run. After all, plants cannot grow into engines.

"Since it can't be done, let the plant push it by itself. Plants don't have legs. I think I can make it."

Chi Nan was thinking and making at the same time. Cut out a lot of roots next to the cannon. These roots are the legs of the plant. But this kind of root has no focal point, so it cannot push the wheel.

After thinking for a long time, Chi Nan finally added a lot of gear-like things on the bearings connecting the two wheels. These are also small wheels, but the wheels are uneven. Then, a large number of fibrous roots wrapped around and began to move. Under Chi Nan's push, the roots moved in one direction and finally turned the wheel.

This weird man-made tank started running for the first time. "Stop." Chi Nan suddenly realized something, but the order was issued a little late. The "tank" suddenly hit a tree.

There is no way, this new tank can't turn yet, it seems that some design will be added to allow the tank to turn. I am not a person who studies mechanics, so I really don’t understand these things very well.

However, regarding the powerful control ability of plants, Chi Nan can use strong methods to forcibly add a design to the plants that can make the wheels turn. There are not many plant structures that can move. If it weren't for the special rhizome structure that can be integrated with the sage trap, there is really no way to make the plant so flexible.

Under Chi Nan's control, this large toy can finally move freely. Forward, backward, and turning, the fastest speed is faster than the speed of a pack horse. Moreover, the barrel can adjust itself and fire shells at any time.

If all the artillery shells were loaded on such a large tank, it could hold more than fifty. This kind of ammunition load and this kind of combat flexibility are far beyond ordinary pneumatic cannons.

"It's a pity that this tank can only move and launch when I control it. It won't work without my control. Hey, when will we be able to let plants have some intelligence of their own? It doesn't matter how smart they are, how can they compete with the game? Just the same, just fight according to the procedures." Chi Nan sighed.

This tank looks very good and powerful, but in the end it is just a prototype made by myself, a test product. With the plant materials and abilities I have now, it is simply impossible to complete the design.

"Forget it, the model is also a model. Design it first. Maybe it will be used someday." Chi Nan simply no longer regards it as a subject for him, but as a toy for himself to use when he has nothing to do.

With Chi Nan's careful carving and manufacturing, this tank toy is getting better and better day by day, and its shape is getting closer and closer to the tank in the original memory. Even many functions were achieved by Chi Nan using his own methods. Under Chi Nan's control, if someone saw it, they would really think it was a tank.

Perhaps because of the great migration, very few wild orcs came to this place during this period. Just because other fortresses were not fully constructed, Chi Nan was not allowed to leave Giant Wood City.
