However, compared to the magic exchange server, it does not use much magic metal. The magic metal traded is enough for Gudern to cover the entire Qingyuan Ridge and Snow Valley Ridge with signals, but there is still more than half left.

When they returned to the research base after the test, everyone looked very excited.

This exclusive ability that was previously only available to magicians was now reproduced by them and turned into a tool that anyone could use. This was something they had never thought of.

Looking at everyone's efforts, Gudern praised them, and then gave new tasks and research upgrade directions.

"Five pairs of this batch of communications will be developed first for actual combat testing. In addition, the production of signal towers also needs to be equipped. It should be completed within three days as much as possible, and along with the troops attacking Jinyuan City, they will assume the roads along the way to maintain communications."

"Understood." Pansy nodded and said with a hint of excitement.

"Also, please take note of the ideas for upgrading the magic communication box."

Gudern paused as he spoke, and the researchers around him who had been prepared immediately took out their pens and paper and began to prepare to listen to Gudern's ideas.

"The results of previous magic tests have also come out. Communication signals are transmitted in waveforms, and the magic box sends signals in all directions, which will waste a lot of elemental energy."

"In the next generation of mass production tasks, try to add directional transmission and reception signal radar to communication equipment. If the signal transmission can be gathered into directional transmission and reception, it may be possible to increase the communication range without changing the basics."

"Of course, when upgrading this function, the original receiving module remains unchanged and remains as the basic module for short-range omnidirectional reception."

Many people around listened to Gudern's arrangement, and their expressions showed a hint of thinking.

"At the same time, in the second-generation official version, the core functions of the magic switch are reduced and split, and added to a separate magic communication box, so that the magic communication box can use itself as the host to make calls within the range without a signal tower. Other personnel.”

"This task will be somewhat difficult. The initial trial version will be recorded in silver or gold, and the mass-produced version will be recorded in magic metal. Instant communication is very important to us, so why not be extravagant?"

Gooden informed the researchers one by one of his usage upgrade ideas and asked him to prepare for the next generation of development work.

After all, what's the old saying? Use one generation, produce one generation, test one generation, develop one generation and plan one generation.

Each generation becomes stronger than the previous generation. In short, upgrading and development are necessary.

With Gudern's research and development ideas, a kind of researchers immediately started busy. Of course, before Gudern left, he captured a few people who had worked excessive hours and took them to the break room for forced rest.

After the work at the institute was over, Gooden headed to the next destination to check without stopping.

The orc army has completely retreated, and there will be no more orcs here for a while, so many projects have begun.

In addition to the upgrading and expansion of Qingyuan Town, mines in various places have also begun to resume mining. Among them, the most important iron ore mine, Gudern, in order to expand production, decided to remove the mountains on the veins and underground mines. Converted to an open pit mine.

The iron ore vein is said to be an underground mine, but in fact it is not very deep underground. Because of the ridge problem above, the initial mining idea was to dig holes to mine.

Although the ore can be mined in this way, the efficiency is too slow, which is completely insufficient for the current needs of Qingyuan Town.

In order to expand the amount of mining, Gooden and related mining personnel came up with this crazy idea to blow up the hills on the veins.

Such a project requires a large amount of explosives and manpower, and these two items are no longer lacking in Qingyuan Town.

But there is another problem that comes with it, and that is transportation.

A large amount of manpower and material resources are used to transport materials, and the pressure on magic trucks can be imagined. In Qingyuan Town, which had a population of less than 5,000, a dozen magic trucks were enough.

But now with a population of more than 150,000, these dozen trucks are not enough.

Although the production quantity of magic trucks can be increased, how will the mass-produced iron ore be transported in the future?

To this end, while blasting the mountain for mining, Gudern plans to start building a railway system directly to Qingyuan Town and the iron ore.

The two projects started at the same time, which put a certain demand on the labor force of Qingyuan Town.

But now a large number of refugees have not left, and these laborers may be able to arrange work at any time.

Gudern came to the office of the third construction team to check and learn about the preliminary investigation of road conditions.

Although it is difficult to investigate road conditions during the snow season, many people are old residents of Qingyuan Town and are relatively familiar with the geographical conditions of the surrounding area.

Coupled with the knowledge learned and several days of investigation, the preliminary road route has been designed and is waiting for Gudern's order to start construction at any time.

Looking at the detailed notes on each section of the drawing, Gooden could understand that these were the optimal routes obtained after careful consideration and calculation by the third construction team.

After confirming that it was correct, he immediately ordered the official start of the railway construction task!

Chapter 173 Simulating the sand table and taking back Jinyuan

The Third Construction Team, as a team specifically responsible for road construction, immediately started taking action after receiving the task.

As the most important rail, steel rails were put into preparation for production and storage shortly after the construction of the smelting plant.

The excess steel is used for smelting and forging, and now nearly ten kilometers of rails are stored in the warehouse in Qingyuan Town.

The distance of the entire railway track is estimated to be about 35 kilometers. These reserves are enough to complete one-third of the construction requirements, and the remaining materials will also be put on line in subsequent production.

At the same time, enough ballast can be collected during the mountain removal in the iron ore mine to lay the railway tracks. Therefore, the tedious preliminary work is the task of solidifying the roadbed.

However, for the third construction team, this is not a problem. With the help of magic equipment and thousands of people working on it at the same time, any complicated problems will not be a problem after detailed and exclusive arrangements.

Three days passed by in a flash, and Gudern was also busy expanding Qingyuan Town.

Since the railway construction task was launched, the progress has been advancing at an alarming speed, and two kilometers of ground compaction and solidification work have been completed in just three days.

A one-kilometer-long railway track has been laid, and construction of stations and other supporting buildings has begun.

At the same time, all supporting equipment for the magic communication network has been completed, and a signal tower has been set up on the way to Jinyuan City.

The signal tower closest to Jinyuan City can cover the entire city, and there is an additional coverage area of ​​seven or eight kilometers.

This ensures that even if you take a detour to the rear of Jinyuan City, you can still have a signal range for real-time telephone communication.

In the early morning of December 3rd in the star calendar, the Qingyuan Army and the Imperial Army were ready to set off for Jinyuan City.

Due to the problem of quantity, the first convoy to set off only carried more than 300 people from the first battalion. Their mission was to set out at the scheduled assembly area to make deployments to prevent the orcs from discovering and attacking out of the city.

At the same time, it also opens a path for the following troops. The blizzard season has passed. There will be no snowfall in the next month. And in the second half of the month, as the climate warms up, a large amount of snow will melt.

Normally, by mid-January, the road will basically be able to return to normal traffic.

Opening the road at this time can also avoid the subsequent melting of a large amount of snow, which will make the road muddy and difficult to move.

Looking at the convoy departing in the distance, Gooden gave a silent instruction before returning to the command room of the military camp and continuing to conduct military exercises with a group of officers.

The exercise simulation cannot be done based on the current situation in Qingyuan Town. If you want to get a reasonable prediction of the battle situation, you can only do deduction calculations at the table.

In the process of role-playing deduction calculations, Gooden played the role of the orcs, and the attackers were the officers and soldiers present.

During the first two battles with the orcs, Qingyuan Town also collected data on the strength of the orc army.

The offensive methods and functions of many units were recorded one by one. After gaining an understanding of the orc army, Gudern could only use one word to describe it.

It's so fierce.

The average level is above the basic level, and there is a complete distribution of functions. If Qingyuan Town had not adopted unconventional weapons and tactics, otherwise he would not have known how to resist the orc attack under normal attacks.

And when he became the simulated orc commander, he had successfully defended Kanehara City three times using only the data on paper, and once completely annihilated two of his own battalions plus an imperial army of less than a thousand led by Bernard.

Under this kind of record, all the officers looked solemn and tried every means to fight against Gudern.

After these two days of simulated confrontation, the score ratio between the two sides finally reached 5 to 7, with Gooden at 5 and them at 7.

As Officer Qingyuan became more and more proficient in his simulation tactics, he was able to fully unleash the power of his magical weapons, and this was how he managed to win these seven victories.

However, Gudern was still dissatisfied with this, because he had to pay nearly half of the battle losses to wipe out the orc garrison he simulated.

Such serious battle damage was unacceptable to Gudern, and it was also unacceptable to the officers of the Qingyuan Town Army.

Some people have even suggested that 'the strength of the orc army has been adjusted too strong and does not conform to the actual battlefield conditions. ’

For this reason, Gudern also reduced the data by 30% and continued the fight, but the final result was a tragic victory for the Qingyuan Army.

This makes everyone no longer dare to underestimate the orc army. After all, these standard data on paper have been reduced by one standard level, and if they are reduced by another 30%, they will look like this, which shows the true strength of the orc army. How terrifying is the strength.

"All the artillery fired flatly, hitting half of the base, blasting open the city gates, opening the way for the imperial army, and using the flank artillery positions, direct fire over the city wall to test the design of the city and prevent an ambush."

"The orcs gave up, defended the city gate, organized a commando team, and sent out two thousand people from the west and east to raid the coalition positions."

Gudern said calmly and pushed the chess pieces on the sand table.

"In the artillery position on the west flank, deploy two machine gun positions and one company to attack the outgoing orcs on the flank, with a lethality rate of 60%. The enemy on the right wing relies on the main position artillery to cover half of the base, and concentrates two companies to suppress and strangle them."

After Officer Qingyuan deployed his tactical orders, the orc chess pieces protruding outside the city were put forward to represent their destruction.

"Abandon the defense of the city, all the orcs retreat into the city, rely on the streets to gradually defend and strangle them."

Seeing that the opponent was already on guard, Gudern immediately started rogue tactics and engaged in street fighting.

This is why he was able to use the tactics that caused the Qingyuan Army's battle loss rate to be so high in the simulated sand table simulation.

Street fighting has been a bloody meat grinder since ancient times.

Want to push forward? Okay, I'll trade it with my life.

The orcs exchanged ten for one was not a loss at all. As the attacker, the Qingyuan Army had to advance, but as the defender, Gudern directly asked the orcs to hide, and waited until the Qingyuan Army approached before attacking, using his own melee advantage. Expand the results.

But this time, the officer who simulated the attack did not rush to give orders to enter the city. Instead, he issued an unexpected order.

"The smoke belt bombardment divided the Kanehara City area. The Imperial Army broke in from the front. The Qingyuan Army climbed the city wall from the cloud ladder to provide support and suppression, allowing the Imperial Army to evacuate the residents in the smoke bomb division."

Gudern was a little surprised when he heard such an order. As a result, the entire battlefield was completely divided. Even if the orcs wanted to see the situation clearly through the smoke, there would still be a hot bullet waiting for them.

"Abandon action, skip."

"The evacuation area is over, continue the smoke bombardment and segmentation, and repeat the instructions just now."

"Organize personnel to raid and interfere from Streets 6, 7, and 9."

"Loss 10% of the number of people, retreat to the uninhabited area, call for artillery support to suppress..."

The deductions continued one after another, and soon there were not many orc chess pieces left in the entire Jinyuan City, and at the same time there were not many civilians in the city.

What's even more outrageous is that almost half of the entire city was destroyed by artillery.

During an offensive mission, a very important value comes online, and that is the number of civilian deaths.

There were more than 30,000 civilians in Jinyuan City. Gooden had set that the number of casualties should not exceed 1,000. This was the number of accidental injuries during their attack.

This restricted the use of their artillery, preventing them from launching unbridled artillery attacks to suppress the orcs.

But now, this move directly evacuates the residents and creates an uninhabited area. When the orcs attack, they will retreat here and call for artillery.

After the orcs retreated, they continued to move forward and called smoke bombs. In less than six repetitions, the entire Jinyuan City was evacuated, and the orcs who entered the street fighting were completely surrounded and trapped.
