Everyone agrees that Chen Zichuan's path is correct, but what is the correct path for Chen Xi may not be the same for others. Liu Ba is not deliberately opportunistic, but due to the actual situation, he can only choose among those industries, and then splice together a more suitable industrial chain. This is Liu Ba's limit. It's not that he doesn't want to do better, but because he can only do it to this extent. The coal-steel complex looks simple, but many things are easier said than done. Chen Xi does it Liu Ba can understand the matter, but if he really gets started, everyone will be gone. "Expensive things have no shortcomings except that they are expensive, but for us, this one is enough to stop us." Chen Qun said quietly, "Although the shield guard is good, the steel and pig iron we produce are even worse. The output of steel is never enough for ancient times. In fact, even in modern times, the demand for special steel is far greater than the supply most of the time, and the supply of special steel is probably only enough. Ordinary steel, and it was only completed in the 21st century. For people like Chen Qun who manage internal affairs, investing steel in armor is far less meaningful than investing in people's livelihood. The latter represents long-term stability and higher output. The former is currently in a stalemate. The investment doesn't make much sense. "Speaking of which, those shield guards back then should have reached the limit of their single talent." Cao Cao recalled and asked. The reason why the talent has not collapsed is actually very simple. It is because the intensity of the talent has been pushed to the limit, and the control ability has improved. It is impossible to let the talents of these people collapse. Even for most of Cao Jun's shield guards, after the essence of heaven and earth is activated, they can save some time to think and continue to practice self-adaptation. They have some martial arts to practice in the past. After all, it is just such a talent and experience. After the items were piled up, there was no correct route and I didn¡¯t know what to do, so I could only mess around. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The experience bar for a talent is free again, so it doesn¡¯t hurt to continue practicing. "Many have reached the limit of a single talent. After the natural change, although there is a certain impact, the overall impact is not big. Their control over self-adaptation is actually very profound." Cheng Yu nodded and said, he was fine and He picked up the route of commanding troops, and his talent itself has the ability to adapt, so he can fool around with the shield guard when he has nothing to do. "Is it becoming difficult to advance to dual talents now?" Cao Cao actually understood the impact of the activation of heaven and earth essence. He asked this to tell others that the shield guards can now be used as the main force. He should find a way Give me another elite talent. "The difficulty has indeed increased, which is inevitable." Cheng Yu nodded, "But the foundation of the Shield Guard is there, and there are several more orthodox directions. It's just that I haven't thought about it yet. What is it? In what direction should we develop? "Compared to the heavy armor defense that the Shield Guards thought, Cheng Yu actually suggested to continue to deepen adaptation and develop overweight adaptability in a step-by-step manner. Because this is the same line, it is simpler and more important. It is an overweight adaptation. If it can carry a load of three hundred kilograms, it is actually not inferior to the so-called heavy armor defense. As for the ability to pass through all terrains, Cheng Yu actually doesn't value it very much. Beigui is a mountainous terrain, so there is no problem that it cannot bear its own weight, and the key points will not have any impact. In fact, the significance of stability is not great, and survivability is more important. important. After Cheng Yu spoke, the group of civil servants and generals present also knew that there were only so many ways to defend the shield, including heavy armor defense, overweight adaptation, and stability. The third general who knew him a little knew that on Beigui's side was It's meaningless. As for the first one, it's a bit difficult, but the second one is even more expensive. Both of these paths have some minor problems for Cao Cao. For Cao Cao, no one under him is sure to master the heavy armor defense path. This is a rare talent that no one had in the previous era. It is used, so it is not within the scope of these people at all. Although Huangfu Song had never seen a form of heavy armor defense before, he couldn't resist it. As long as he was still on the branch talent tree, he could find a way to do it. If it were Cao Cao, if Cao Cao had this fighting ability, he wouldn't be so embarrassed. As for Zang Ba's heavy armor defense, it was not done by Zang Ba himself. It was a talent that a certain Jingling Guard had obtained when he and his group of Jingling Guards squatted together to select suitable talents. Then a group of people copied me, and I copied you, and with great luck, they finally copied the heavy armor talent. ¡°We¡¯ll find some heavy armor from other places.?'s legion, I remember that General Zang's shield guards seemed to have the talent for heavy armor. "Cao Hong thought for a while and suggested. Cao Hong is still optimistic about the talent in heavy armor. The adaptability to overweight is indeed good. If the defense and survivability are guaranteed in plate armor, it is indeed very reliable. Just look at the Tiger Guards for this. But the problem is that after adapting to being overweight, changing armor is a very fatal thing. Think about 50,000 people, each of whom weighs 300 kilograms. This is 15 million kilograms of armor. This is not an ordinary life-threatening thing. Well, they are not Chen Xi. After all, they still need to consider logistics and cost-effectiveness issues, so relatively speaking, the survivability advantage of the shield guards is better now, because they have participated in enough battles and survived. There are many. In fact, the control of one's own strength is already in place. If there is a correct template to copy, it will soon be possible to achieve dual talents. They are all increasing significantly, and after the change in the sky, the activation of the essence of heaven and earth has increased significantly, making it difficult to use most of the willpower attack abilities. The survivability of a shield guard with dual talents against the same level is still terrible. It is impossible to use willpower. In terms of attacks, except for a few special attacks, most physical attacks are difficult to penetrate the heavy armor of the shield guard. What's more, even if they are penetrated, the shield guard can still bear the remaining damage. , and more importantly, after deepening the shield guard's talent, his own adaptability to damage has also been slightly improved. After the change of the sky, he can rely on his talent to damage the shield guard who is overweight and adapted to the full armor mode, or the shield guard with heavy armor defense. In fact, There are only a few types left. Compared with the various and complicated injuries, it is so simple that there are only a few types left. The shield guard may be able to adapt to these messy injuries in a few years by relying on force. So after the Heaven Change, people like Cao Cao realized that Chen Xi¡¯s era of beeping had somehow come, because all kinds of fancy things had been cheated by the Heaven Change, but this kind of solid foundation The guy was basically not affected at all. "Heavy armor defense talent, I'll go back and find someone to calculate it. Maybe I can find it in Central Asia, mainly because it's too far from the Ganges River. "Cao Cao sighed. It's true that Zang Ba has heavy armor for defense, but Zang Ba can't borrow a group of people. It's better to be realistic. Who knows what the Central Asian family is hiding. "This is also true. A way. "Cheng Yu nodded. Although he was inclined to adapt to overweight, after all, the Tiger Guards have proved that adapting to overweight is indeed the right path. But since Cao Cao has chosen another way, let's take another one. "Bao, Sikong, Wei An urgent message from my family. "Just when Cao Cao was about to ask Chen Qun and others about the progress of the water conservancy project near the Helmand River, the attendant came to report urgently with a secret letter. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly. "Send it up. "Cao Cao said calmly. Taking the secret letter in hand, Cao Cao sent the attendants away, then opened the secret letter, his expression changed slightly, then he took a deep breath and handed the secret letter directly to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, you guess This is somewhat possible. " Cao Cao is not an idiot. The secret letter sent by Wei only elaborated on what happened in the Caucasus. However, combined with the timing of the change in the sky, Cao Cao does not think that Aldashir can hold back. After all, this is really Aldashir. Your opportunity. "Quickly inform General Barak to kill the city of Herat. "Xun Yu raised his head and looked extremely solemn. "Do you think Aldashir has already taken action? "Cao Cao's face also changed suddenly. If this is true, it would be terrible. This is not a question of whether Cao Cao can defeat Ardashirga Oswin, but more realistically, once the city of Herat is lost, Cao Cao was trapped in the isolated city of Kandahar. How to solve the problem of food and grass? From Herat to Kandahar, from Kandahar to Kabul, and from Kabul to the Khyber Pass. This is one of the most correct routes to conquer Kushan. But what if? Herat's retreat was cut off, and the situation reversed in an instant. Kandahar alone was not enough to support Cao Cao's forces. When the water conservancy project on the Helmand River was completed, Cao Cao could rely on Kandahar to fight with Oswin, and Ardashir played until death. After all, Kandahar is also famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Cao Cao attacked Kandahar, he sent troops from Herat and had to cross the desert to attack Kandahar. Cao Cao almost vomited. If Balak hadn't directly surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have exhausted his first wave of food and had to go back and accumulate again. The most difficult thing to deal with in this place is actually the land.??. Therefore, Cao Cao is not worried about being bombarded by Oswin or Ardashir. How Guishang defended it back then, he can defend it as well. In this deceptive terrain, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to fight without Cao Cao. ??The terrain advantage here is exaggerated. Let¡¯s put it this way, the difficulty of Sichuan and Shu is almost tripled. After all, Sichuan and Shu are just mountains. The desert and Gobi here, the high mountains, the plateau oasis, and the grain and grass logistics are directly the Achilles¡¯ heel.
