Wang Qi was worried about various chores in the kingdom, while Li Xiang was brought to the front line so that the troops could mobilize resources to carry out some facility renovations.
There is a height difference in the logistics path, and the same is true at the northern foot of the volcanic belt.
The almost vertical height difference made it difficult for vehicles to pass. A lift platform was added in front, but as the height difference widened, it became increasingly insufficient. Adding cargo and vehicle lifts would require increasing the number of troops, which was not cost-effective.
In addition, as time goes by, the cracks where the cross section is located tend to widen, and the risk will become higher and higher if the lift continues to be used.
Li wanted to come here this time so that the army could deploy two more battalions to speed up the construction of the outpost group on the top of the volcanic belt, and prepare to retreat when it was completed.
The mountaintop outpost group is similar in nature to a famous long-span city wall. It uses the height advantage to achieve early warning and timely mobilization of troops.
Previously, the mountaintop outpost was only built on the north side of the Phoenix area. Now the scale will be increased to block the entire northern foothills.
The specific number is that there are 50 sentinel points and beacon towers on the top of the mountain, and three ground clearance points.
No civilian power was requisitioned, and the main engineering forces were the 23rd Regiment, which had recently become combat effective, and the 41st and 42nd Regiments, which were still in the process of training.
It took almost a year for the slime mold army to expand to two regiments, and it has not yet formed a decent combat effectiveness. It is a bit helpless. However, compared with ordinary human soldiers, the slime mold army at this stage has an equal status and can already do some rear work. , such as repairing sentinel points.
Wang Qi modified five versions of the slime molds in this year. With the heat-dissipating head and breastplate specially developed for them, he could barely extend the life cycle of the slime molds to one month. Due to the need for external heat dissipation equipment, There is a certain degree of dependence, and the length of time is not very stable, between 27 and 30 days.
Among them, the heat-dissipating head and chest armor is outrageous.
Due to the unstable mutation enhancement of the slime mold, the equipment must still be based on the basic physical fitness, so the helmet and breastplate can only be made of aluminum alloy.
Aluminum alloy can be considered a dangerous item on the magic battlefield, because aluminum burns easily, and once it burns, people will die. There is no time to take off the armor. If the slime mold army's body can be replaced, they would not dare to be so wasteful.
In order to obtain excellent heat dissipation effect, the outer layer has a structure similar to a heat sink. The thickness is enough, but the strength is actually weak. Using the 10mm cat type three attack specially developed for them, the penetration rate of a single shot at a distance of 100 meters is 60 %, the single shot penetration rate at 150 meters is still 35%.
This defense is basically just Tu Yile, not as good as thin steel plus ceramic plug-in board. Its main function is heat dissipation.
The change from 21 days for normal activities to 15 days to a cycle of more than 30 days has actually greatly increased the availability of the slime mold army. Otherwise, it would take several cycles to learn how to build an outpost.
Li Xiang was not a waiter on the front line. He stabilized himself for a while, and after a few outposts in the volcano zone were operational, he led people to sweep away the demons everywhere.
The 1st Regiment and the 21st Regiment followed suit simultaneously. The 2nd Regiment still had a garrison to defend and could only mobilize one battalion to make up the numbers.
Their main task is to dump ammunition, it doesn't matter how many they kill, and consume weapon eggs to reduce the amount of transportation during retreat.
The number of demons spreading out of the lava area has increased for some unknown reason. Our mobile combat team is limited, but if we take the initiative to attack regardless of ammunition consumption, we still have a slight advantage under the limited width. After two months, the density of demons within 200 kilometers has been reduced a lot, and the proportion of intermediate demons has also been reduced a lot. On a daily basis, sometimes you can't even find one, so you should still be afraid.
Take advantage of the demons to shrink slightly and quickly get out of the way.
The 9th Battalion of the Second Regiment was transferred to the Golden Red Fortress to mix with the 8th Battalion. The other troops retreated directly to the volcanic mountains and defended the new defense line.
After they withdraw here for a short rest, Li Xiang will lead the team and work together to complete the evacuation of the Golden Red Fortress.
The two big trees in the Golden Red Fortress have canceled the production function of the titanium ore purification trees, and the root system supporting the outpost wall has become inactive. Although it still looks like a fortress, it has no actual function and lacks the support of living tree roots. The stone wall will fall down if you push it. Maybe you can trick a few powerful demons to settle inside.
Li Xiang wandered around for several months without any complaints, and then came back and asked, "Is it too early to withdraw at this time?"
Wang Qi asked: "Have you seen the Beilu section?"
Ideal nodded: "It's so dark and ugly."
"This height difference is enough to block a large number of ground troops. Our soldiers will have a much easier time, but the city defense forces may have to bear more."
With the demon's attack method, it is difficult to ensure that there are no fish that slip through the net with the existing weapons. The biggest disadvantage of the closer defense line is that the city defense part will be under greater pressure. However, if a group can attack only a few fish that slip through the net, it should not be a big problem.
Li Xiang said, and then talked about something else: "The army is urgently looking for magic personnel. When can they be arranged?"
Wang Qi was surprised: "Didn't they just send a batch of people over?"
Just when Li Xiang was performing his mission on the front line, some of the people that the military had earlier sent to the institute for training from various departments had completed their advanced training two months ago. The total number was fifty. According to the current mage classification, they are all in the third ring. Only in the field of medical magic, the worst ones have mastered the second-level healing spell, while the stronger ones have learned the third-level regeneration spell.
The effectiveness of regeneration magic is on the same level as healing, but its duration is very long, so it can achieve some therapeutic effects that healing cannot.
For example, if a soldier's arm is bitten off by a monster, it would be silly to use a healing technique that lacks a large piece of flesh. However, if it can be ensured that part of the flesh can still be stuck together and the amount of bleeding is not large, the regeneration technique can be continued. It is not 100% successful, but it can also significantly reduce the proportion of military retirees due to disability.
Regeneration is best combined with surgical ability, but there is no systematic training in this area, so military personnel can only explore it on their own. Anyway, obsidian scalpels can be made by any stonemason in Phoenix.
Speaking of this group of people, Li Xiang became annoyed: "Yeah, they were anxious to ask for magic personnel just after seeing this group of people! Fifty people were assigned to each battalion of each army, and there were less than two for the garrison. The troops followed the first regiment and the second regiment, and there were many battalions behind them without a single one."
Wang Qi spread his hands: "Then I have no choice. It will take at least two years for the ones at the Magic Academy to be used, and the last batch from the institute will have to wait for a year, and they are reluctant to let them go."
Magic talents are easy to use, but the learning cycle is too long. If everything is simplified, basic education plus magic education will take at least eight to ten years. Even if the Night Clan has a relatively high natural mystical value, it can only guarantee the ability to perceive magic. It has certain advantages, and there is no way to significantly reduce the study time.
"Let's just let the magic academy also teach children of old age, and it can be shortened a bit." Li wanted to help with the bad idea.
"No." Wang Qi refused to compromise in this regard, "The basic three views cannot be left to the magic side to cultivate."
The tasks of basic schools include not only literacy, basic mathematics, and physical training, but also moral education.
Although morality is not effective for everyone, and it is more affected by family, but if you can hope to bring it to a good direction, it is better not to let it go.
From Wang Qi's perspective, the main role of moral shaping is to reduce the cost of social governance, especially investment in grassroots security and infrastructure maintenance.
On a larger scale, the world outlook, outlook on life, and moral outlook are the core cohesion of a group. When two people with hugely different outlooks meet, there are only three situations: they hate each other, they quarrel, and they fight.
Now, thanks to Wang Qi's governance, everyone is in the process of improving their lives, and some conflicts can be tolerated. When the next generation grows up and has become accustomed to the structure and management of the kingdom, and does not think that the Phoenix King falling from the sky is a blessing from the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, some original contradictions will become highlighted, and they can only rely on the convergence of the three views. Suppress the bad trend.
Magical knowledge is inherently complicated and more brain-intensive, taking up a lot of children's thoughts. Even if the same courses are arranged, the effect will only be worse than in basic schools. What's more, at this stage and for a long time in the future, the staff of the Magic Academy are mainly composed of wild mages, and they themselves have doubts about their identification with the kingdom's education system.
