After integrating a portion of Fine Steel Wolf Hide and Alloy Wolf Bone, the defense performance of the Level 19 war vehicle experienced a qualitative leap.
With a base defense of 150 points, plus the enhancement from the fusion of Wolf Bone Hide, it reached an astonishing 190 points, far exceeding the 150-point Physique upper limit of Level 19 Evolution.
Naturally, it can withstand all attacks from Tier One existences.
Lin Feng touched the thickened back armor of the carriage, a full ten centimeters thick, built with alloy material, light and sturdy.
One hundred and ninety defense points already infinitely approach the Level 20 upper limit, enduring a hit of ten tons of force or a small-caliber shell should not be a problem.
However, on the other hand, the continuous improvement of five levels has very limited enhancement regarding the vehicle's power performance.
A speed of sixty kilometers per hour is fine for transport-type vehicles, but for a vehicle defined as a war vehicle, the speed is actually not fast.
Converted, it's only sixteen meters per second; even a regular Tier One Early Stage Evolver can easily outrun it.
Moreover, this is the maximum speed; when carrying weapons or other equipment and supplies, the average speed will continue to decline.
So besides stacking defense, as a wasteland war vehicle, speed must also be improved.
Without performance advantages, it can only be passive in enemy engagements, difficult to pursue and counterattack.
And to improve performance, the route is none other than enhancing the motor and the battery.
Increasing the number or power of the motors can boost speed, increasing the number or energy density of batteries extends endurance.
Apart from this, the sole energy source, photovoltaic panels, also needs a proper upgrade.
The photovoltaic back armor of the Late Middle Stage Rock-Horned Horse is better than the current Early Stage Rock-Horned Horse, it is estimated that those Heavy Truck Transporters use superior materials, making the price exaggeratedly high.
And all the above three electric vehicle components must be acquired from Dawn Village, with a sure high cost.
Pure Source Material cannot be used for trading, as everyone in Dawn Village follows an Alien Evolution Path, their power scale is not enough for Purity Evolution.
The Tier Two Evolution is a lifetime goal, naturally, they don't need Pure Source Material.
So except for hard currency of Evolutionary Meat, Lin Feng's only tangible asset now is the bullet production machine providing a large number of munitions.
Compared to bullets with limited lethality, shells clearly better meet Dawn Village's current needs.
The village's personnel are composed overwhelmingly of engineers or repairmen, most being electricians, having the weakest combat capability among the Five Major Villages, hardly above Holy Spring Village.
Unlike Li Family who have two Tier Two Powerhouses, or Mechanical Village, always venturing into city ruins, scavenging for remaining vehicle materials inside relics, facing various dangerous environments.
Overall, villagers' actual combat experience in Dawn Village should be close to zero.
But their produced equipment holds extremely high value, being Oasis Town's hard currency, needed annually by electric vehicles.
After Lin Feng's simple speculation, he himself felt tempted, wanting to pillage Dawn Village amid the outbreak of rebellion when the situation turns chaotic.
Since even I can think of it, clearly other villages, especially the Level 5 Evolvers, have been drooling over defenseless Dawn Village.
Seeking a chance to exploit the chaos and conduct a cost-free acquisition.
Furthermore, if Dawn Village's leader sides with Li Family and attacks the Church, then the Three Major Villages of electric vehicle industry will all become insurgents of Oasis Town and attack them, right in legal and moral terms.
Burning, slaying, and looting are not only not crimes but also acts of heroism in defending Holy Spring Sect.
Thus, pillaging would become a righteous defense action; cloaked in legality, everyone could attack without worries.
So, among the Three Major Villages, aside from Holy Spring Village, Dawn Village is the most anxious and worried.
The best way to enhance strength in the short term is to boost firepower and prepare rigorously.
Lin Feng once thought the Guild would be a good buyer; after careful analysis, Dawn Village's potential wasn't low either.
Maybe then I can slaughter them seriously.
Acquire top-notch brushless motors and high-quality photovoltaic panels, all at a low cost.
Indeed, in the eyes of an arms dealer, conflict and violence are opportunities and motivation.
Moreover, selling to both sides is the most profitable.
Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately called Chen Shanshan, Ah Lian, and Ma Chenfeng, issuing orders:
"This time, the major families like the Li Family conflict with the Church, causing turmoil that will spread to every corner of Oasis Town."
"I've been commissioned by the Church to protect Holy Spring Village and to suppress the rebellion in Nongzhuang Village. I will need one member to protect my safety and create output space for me."
Chen Shanshan immediately raised her hand to signal.
Lin Feng looked at her and nodded slightly:
"You've consumed a lot of Level 15 Evolutionary Meat, reaching Level 15, take three Level 14 Evolution Agents and six Level 17 Evolution Agents and advance to a Level 19 Evolver in one go."
"After handing over vehicles to the Guild, return for a Tier Jump Evolution and become a Tier Two Evolver."
The twenty-Level Chen Shanshan will qualify for Tier Two powerhouse battles, protecting Lin Feng from Rock Horse Warrior attacks.
After speaking, Lin Feng looked at Ah Lian and Ma Chenfeng:
"You both have high combat skills, and the convoy needs competent members to manage the armed guard."
"Ah Lian, you will be the team captain, responsible for scheduling the formal members."
"Ma Chenfeng, you're in charge of the Escort Team, later accompanying Ding Yi and them in recruitment of new members, all newcomers are temporarily placed in the Escort Team, promoted based on combat performance to formal members."
