MTL - Wasteland Commander

 Chapter 26 Radar Functions and New Arms (Third Update)

 When Ye Fan played the game, he remembered that the main buildings were produced in this order.

 First expand the base vehicle, then build the power plant, then the mining field, barracks, radar, tank factory, etc.

Now that the mining site cannot be built, the radar becomes the third building.

 This is also the first major building he built after becoming the commander.

 The power plant and barracks were built when he was in the game, and they came with them after binding to the system.

After the radar was successfully constructed, the main interface of the red alert, which had always been dark, finally lit up.

But it was not the game screen that Ye Fan was familiar with, but the surrounding large map.

 It's like some mobile phone navigation maps, but it's much more detailed than that. It's the kind of version where you shoot from a high altitude and then zoom in closer.

 You can even touch it with your mind to make the map slide left and right.

 You can also zoom in or out just like looking at a photo.

  The Shengshi Jiangshan Community where Ye Fan is currently located has a high-definition floor plan on the map.

 Ye Fan was able to see his location through the map, and even saw Villa No. 66 where Gao Dongliang was located.

There is a blue light spot in Villa No. 66, while there are fourteen white light spots and two blue light spots in Villa No. 58.

 In other surrounding villas, several also showed blue light spots, and some red light spots.

 Zoom out the map a little, and the situation outside the villa area also comes into view.

 Different from the inside of the villa area, the outside is densely covered with red light spots, like an endless ocean tide.

“Nana, what is the range that this radar can monitor?”

“Sir, the radar’s monitoring range is a radius of five kilometers.”

 In the Red Alert game, the radar monitoring range is also very small, and only spy satellites can cover the full screen.

Ye Fan remembered that Nana could observe a radius of 300 meters around her before, but now it has been increased to 5,000 meters. The improvement cannot be said to be small, but he still feels that it is small.

 Because I can’t see my home from this distance.

 “This radar is not particularly powerful.”

“Sir, what we are currently building is a virtual radar, whose functions are weaker than those of physical buildings. If you can build a radar in the real world, the monitoring range will be increased to a radius of fifty kilometers.”

“But this radar also has an advantage. I exist in the commander’s will. As long as the commander goes wherever he goes, this radar will move with him. The five-kilometer monitoring range is already quite large.”

Hearing Nana's explanation, Ye Fan nodded, that's pretty much it. From now on, he will be a humanoid radar.

“What about the light spots on the map? I think they should be living things.”

“Not exactly sir, there are currently five colors of light spots in the radar range.”

“The red represents zombies, the blue represents survivors, the white light dots represent our red alert units, and the purple light dots represent mutant beasts.”

“There is also a green light spot. Green light does not currently appear in the radar range. If it appears, the commander should pay attention. The green light spot represents the supply box.”

Ye Fan looked carefully and saw that the fourteen white light spots were his red police soldiers and Xiao Tian, ​​as well as two cars. These were both red police units.

 The blue spot at No. 66 is Gao Dongliang, and the two blue ones here are the Su sisters.

The densely packed red light spots on the periphery are all zombies. If you look carefully, you can indeed find sporadic purple light spots, which should be mutant beasts.

The green light spot Nana mentioned did not appear, which proves that the supply box has not been refreshed within this range.

 He had to admit that it was much easier to see everything with radar.

Among the surrounding red zombies, he can clearly distinguish where there are more zombies and where there are fewer zombies. This also provides him with a relatively safe way to enter the city.

Moreover, he can also see any unusual movements of zombies through radar, so he can take precautions in advance.

 The main purpose of building radar is for surveillance, but there are also other benefits, that is, the unlocking of other buildings and troops.

 First of all, here in the main building, the radar construction is completed, and the icon of the fourth main building, the tank factory, lights up.

 The cost is 10,000 gold.

 Chariot factory is a very important building in the game, and all kinds of vehicles are produced from it.

Based on the situation in the real world, Ye Fan believes that the further back, the greater the power of the tank will be exerted, because the zombies faced will become stronger and stronger.

It's just that ten thousand gold is too much for him. This rich area has been wiped out by him, and it will not be so easy to get money next.

Nana reminded at this time: "Sir, please note that the tank factory is the last virtual building that can be built. The following main buildings include the air command department, maintenance plant, training center, combat laboratory, shipyard, nuclear reactor, etc. As well as buildings such as light prism towers, spy satellites, super weapons, and many unique military buildings of the Qin and Han Dynasties, they all require physical construction to be successful."

“Oh! That means that after I finish building the tank factory, I won’t unlock the next virtual building.”

“Yes, because the power of the virtual world power plant can only be supplied up to this point, the construction of the virtual building will also come to a standstill before the physical building is built, so the commander please pay attention to collecting materials and prepare for the construction of the physical base vehicle.”

 Ye Fan will not worry about this problem for the time being. It will take a long time for him to build a virtual tank factory now.

He knows all the buildings in the Red Alert game. He is now more interested in the characteristic buildings of the Qin and Han Dynasty military provided after the system upgrade, but he cannot view them now.

 After looking at the tank factory, he looked at the defense interface.

 Previously, the defense interface only had walls, which were divided into No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 fences.

 Now, two new buildings have been added.

 Machine gun bunker, sentry tower.

This has also changed. In the past, Ye Fan remembered that there were only machine gun bunkers, but now they are different.

 Machine gun bunker: Three Red Alert soldiers are required to take turns controlling it, one machine gunner, one auxiliary, and one reserve.

The whole reinforced concrete structure has a built-in domestic 5.89-type 12.7mm heavy machine gun. The total gun is 1.8 meters long and weighs 26 kilograms. It is fixed in the machine gun bunker and cannot be moved. The effective range is 1,500 meters. The shooting angle can be adjusted 180 degrees. , with 5,000 rounds of ammunition and cannot be upgraded.

 Construction price: 1800 gold.

Watch Tower: It requires three Red Alert soldiers to operate, one machine gunner, one observer, and one reserve.

The height is divided into two types: 5.5 meters and 10.5 meters, which can be used with fences. It has a built-in domestic 4.67-type 7.62 mm heavy machine gun. The total gun weight is 15.5 kg. The effective range is 1,200 meters. It can shoot at 360 degrees. The ammunition capacity is 4000 rounds and cannot be upgraded.

 There is a built-in searchlight with a range of one thousand meters and requires power supply.

 Construction price: 1,200 gold for a 5.5-meter sentry tower and 2,000 gold for a 10.5-meter sentry tower.

These two types of defense buildings are typical. The machine gun bunker is the former machine gun bunker. However, this kind of building is not movable, and the machine gun bunker does not have a star promotion system.

The sentry tower was not available in the previous Red Alert, and there were two models based on the construction of the fence.

However, these two types of buildings cannot be used for the time being until the base is actually established.

Having seen the defense buildings, next is the soldier page that Ye Fan is most looking forward to. I wonder what new arms will be unlocked after building the radar.

 Open the soldier page, and there are indeed new options in it.

 Engineer, cost 1000 gold.

 Sniper, cost 800 gold.

 Medical staff, cost 200 gold.

Engineer Ye Fan knows it all too well. The scientific and technological elites in the Red Alert can build bridges, seize oil fields, airports, and occupy enemy bases.

If you enter a multi-purpose infantry vehicle, you can also turn the vehicle into a maintenance vehicle.

 I don’t know if there have been any changes in the real world, but the cost of 1,000 did make Ye Fan a little stunned.

The cost of 800 gold for a sniper is not low. In the game, a sniper is a special unit where the sun never sets. Of course, this is unreasonable. There are no snipers in any country in the world.

 So the system was upgraded, and this was added to the technological arms of Qin and Han Dynasties.

The medical staff have never been seen before, but this is also necessary. With the increase in the number of soldiers, it is obviously unrealistic to only let Ye Fan treat alone. The medical staff will give birth sooner or later, which also frees Ye Fan. The ordinary labor tasks ensure the survival probability of the soldiers.

 Looking at the money on hand, after building the radar, there were only 1,200 gold left.

It is impossible to build all three types. Engineers and snipers must give up one of them first.

 “Which one should I build?” Ye Fan had a hard time making a choice.
