This Game Is Too Realistic

The Fifth Ring Road in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

On the 20th floor of an office building located on the edge of the Ring Road Elevated Line, the crooked corridors were covered with dark green slime mold and corroded moss.

The orange-yellow tracer warheads weaved a net in the corridor. The hot air flow almost scorched the air, and in the center of the fire was a three-meter-tall humanoid beast.

Its skin had been completely horny, and its knotted muscles were pitch black. Its arms protected its head, and it actually pushed forward two steps against the electromagnetically accelerated mass bullet.

But only two steps

"Roar!"

After letting out an unwilling roar, the three-meter-tall tyrant finally fell heavily under the focused fire of the Gauss rifle.

Five units of power armor had no reason to lose in this kind of terrain.

Lu Yang made a clean gesture, and the team members in power armor stepped forward and continued along the corridor covered with slime mold, arriving at a heavy alloy door.

One of the team members walked to the door, pulled out a thumb-thick thread from the forearm armor, and connected it to the touch screen on the right side of the door.

"The key has been obtained successfully and entered safe mode."

"Open the door."

"Received, opening."

The door panel trembled and slowly opened to both sides.

The stale air hit my face.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Lu Yang felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Leaving two team members guarding the door, he walked in with the other two people, looking around, the excitement on his face becoming more and more obvious.

“The comparison results are consistent”

"We found it!"

CO2 trap!

One of the indispensable basic public facilities for high-density urban agglomerations.

In a prosperous era where population and industry are highly concentrated, carbon emissions are a quite terrifying figure. It is obviously not enough to rely on traditional green plants to absorb excess carbon dioxide. Even if the entire city is planted with green plants, it is impossible to absorb so much greenhouse gases. Oxygen deficiency will become another major development problem after the heat island effect.

After the People's Federation entered the middle of the prosperous era, the solution widely adopted was to apply carbon self-sustaining technology that had been practiced in space activities.

That is, carbon dioxide treatment devices are installed on specific floors of high-rise buildings to convert carbon dioxide into other carbon-containing compounds through multiple complex chemical processes, making the air level in the area livable while also producing some industrial raw materials.

It is said that just such a half-floor space can process enough carbon dioxide every year to be comparable to an entire virgin forest or an area of ​​seaweed.

The group searched carefully inside the facility and soon found a backup thermonuclear fusion generator that had been shut down.

After entering the Wasteland Era, the carbon emissions within the People's Union dropped sharply, even falling to the level before the Industrial Revolution. Those carbon capture devices naturally stopped working, and the thermonuclear fusion reactors that powered them also stopped working. down.

For this reason, carbon dioxide traps are one of the few facilities after the war that can reliably recycle thermonuclear fusion fuel rods.

Lu Yang led his marines and carefully removed the fuel rods storing liquid helium-3.

"Done!"

"How much energy is left?"

"93"

"It will last us a long time!"

Helium-3 is a stable isotope with a negligible half-life. Although thermonuclear fusion cannot be used as readily as cold fusion, the advantage is that there is almost no need to worry about "fuel" loss when the reactor is shut down.

This is completely unmatched by cold fusion batteries.

After carefully storing the fuel rods in the metal cylinder, the Marines who completed the operation glanced at the large and small boxes and storage tanks around them.

"Sir, what should I do with the things here?"

Lu Yang looked around.

"Just stay here."

"Our allies should be able to use it."

At the same time, the Pioneer was located in the Logistics Section office more than 20 kilometers away.

Li De, who was sitting in the office chair, looked at the spreadsheet displayed on the flexible screen, with surprise written all over his face.

This is the production status report for the previous week.

One of the most eye-catching data is that they recycled 1,872 tons of garbage last week, reaching 255% of the expected efficiency!

Those blue coats are not ordinary ruthless people. The average daily recycling volume is an astonishing 267.4 tons, and the average per capita collection per day is 1.3 tons, which is even more amazing than before the war! If these tasks were left to the natives, one-third of the efficiency would be laughable.

The extra money they spent was only 9360CR.

Li De could hardly believe his eyes. If this report was not handed to him personally by his secretary, he would even wonder if there was a mistake.

Are they all robots? !

No, it’s simply easier to use than a machine!

To this day, a week has passed since the battle with the Legion, and there is still an atmosphere of sadness on the Pioneer. Many people are wallowing in the grief of losing their comrades, with low morale and low work efficiency.

But these blue jackets are different.

They obviously suffered more casualties, but they were still not defeated by the difficulties. Instead, they turned their grief and anger into motivation and lived every day of their lives positively and optimistically.

What a powerful belief and faith this is!

In short, thanks to the hard work of those blue jackets, they evacuated almost the entire underground parking lot, plus two abandoned factories that stored cobalt- and nickel-containing industrial waste.

From the total weight of 1,872 tons of garbage, they successfully recovered 941.4 tons of metal and successfully processed it into needed parts.

There are even more.

Just when Li De couldn't help but sigh, secretary Wang Jie, who was standing in front of his desk, suddenly spoke.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

He folded the unfolded tablet into a pen like a scroll and threw it in the drawer. Li De looked up at his secretary in a good mood and said pleasantly.

"what's up?"

Wang Jie looked a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.

"It is about the demands of frontline engineers who are demanding that the attendance allowance be increased from 10CR per hour to 15CR per hour."

"?"

Li De looked confused.

What the hell? ?

Didn't these lazy dogs complain a few months ago that they had so much money in their pockets that they had no place to spend it, and they hated his pile of waste paper for tricking them into going out to work?

Why do you think the subsidy is too low now?

Wang Jie's expression remained awkward and he spoke quickly.

"Maybe the survivor settlements we encountered before were too poor, and the benefits on the Pioneer were so good that the money in their pockets really had no place to use. I don't know how to evaluate it, but recently our employees There is definitely some lavishness in spending money and I think we should limit it a little bit.”

Li De blushed and knocked on the table with his hand.

"The question is, what did they spend their money on?! Did they use it to wipe their butts? Can they spend so much on a few buns?!"

Wang Jie "Of course it's not just steamed buns, but also dumplings with various fillings, glutinous rice balls, soy milk, fried dough sticks and cough cough. I think we need to upgrade our mobile kitchen. Those blue jackets are slightly processed with our raw materials and sold to We made a lot of money from our hands."

Li De: ""

Wang Jie swallowed and continued.

"In addition to food, they recently also sell clothes, scarves, and some small items, especially a kind of silk fabric, which is very popular among female crew members. They call it devil's silk, which seems to be a specialty of the central region. Surprisingly Yes, the toughness of this kind of silk thread is extremely high, almost as strong as the fire-resistant fiber we use in body armor. It is honestly very magical, and even I was surprised. Our technicians studied it for a long time, and it can be regarded as I figured out its ingredients, but I still don’t understand its industrial synthesis method.”

Li De pressed his eyebrows.

"Only this?"

He didn't care about the silk of the devil moth, nor what clothes and gadgets the female crew members bought.

He just wanted to know how much CR they wasted in the hands of those blue coats.

These banknotes are not the restaurant's signature.

But it has to be cashed in on the spot!

"Well, there are also some special ingredients, such as black truffles, which are very cheap there. 1 gram only costs 1CR."

Li De raised his head suddenly.

“One gram only sells for 1CR?! Are there any more???”

Wang Jie looked at the section chief in surprise and nodded blankly.

"There should be. That mushroom seller sets up his stall at the action camp around six o'clock every night?"

Immediately realizing his gaffe, Li De quickly came to his senses, coughed slightly, and continued with a serious expression.

"I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect them to know how to enjoy themselves. Has the magnetically confined plasma CNC machining machine been repaired?"

Wang Jie nodded and said.

"It's repaired. Our warehouse staff just delivered it to them. It will probably be sent to their outpost on the surface in a while."

Thinking of that machine tool, Li De felt a little pity in his heart.

I was emotionally overwhelmed at the time, and my decision was too hasty. If only that machine tool could help them recover 100,000 CR.

It shouldn't be free!

Those blue coats did them a favor, though. They did not ask those blue coats to support their war, but they did so anyway, and when the war situation was at its most anxious, they rushed forward with guns without hesitation.

Honestly, it's hard to say what the final toll would have been without them. Maybe they had to drop a second tactical nuke, maybe far more than three people died that day

Li De thought for a moment, and if he had to make another decision, he might still choose that way.

He said with a slight sigh.

"Well, just deliver it. We should leave in a few days."

After all, it's not a problem to delay it like this.

The longer they delay, the harder the road ahead will be. If they hadn't suddenly broken down, there would be no need for them to fight the legion.

Wang Jie: "What about the salary increase?"

Li De said without saying a word: "Tell those lazy guys, I mean the engineers, that the salary increase bill will be raised at the regular meeting at the end of the month. This is the procedure. In addition, I will think of a way to let the technicians take a look at the mobile kitchen." Can you add a few food processing processes?"

Of course, if it succeeds, Li De plans to charge a fee.

What's that word called?

Yes, additional value-added services!

As soon as he heard that the salary increase issue would be moved to the end of the month, Wang Jie immediately understood what the section chief meant and couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Wait until the end of the month.

There is nowhere to spend the money in those people's pockets.

Naturally, they won’t clamor for a salary increase.

The repaired machine tool is still on its way, and it will probably take some time for the courier to arrive.

For fear that the players would damage the thing, Chu Guang specially arranged two light trucks to transport it. An empty truck with a snow shovel hung on its bumper drove in front, followed by the truck carrying machine tools.

If you encounter a roadblock or a ditch, the truck in front can detect it in time and the truck behind you can avoid it.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Chu Guang also asked the prudent old Luca to sit in the car with him.

The road conditions in the wasteland are really bad, and the section outside the city is slightly better. There are many roads into the city that even four-legged animals can't pass, let alone wheeled vehicles.

Chu Guang plans to build a road over time to connect the outpost and the operational camp.

From now on, wherever the players in Shelter 404 place their flags, they will build roads.

How did you say that?

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

It's not easy to implement this project in the wasteland, but it is definitely worth it.

While waiting for the machine tool to be delivered, Chu Guang was not idle. Instead, he sat in the residents' hall of the shelter, turned on his computer and took a look at the official website forum.

After a whole night of fermentation, the young players who were unable to work finally vented their grievances. The atmosphere of communication in the forum finally returned to normal, and the topic changed from "Let's attack Aguang together" to "What exactly has been updated in Apha0.8?"

Everything seemed like nothing happened.

In general, players who have experienced the changes in the new version online are still very interested in this unique stronghold gameplay and regional reputation system.

Especially after they learned that "donating materials can gain regional reputation" and "the operation camp's prosperity can grow into a survivor stronghold if it reaches 100," they obviously worked harder.

In other MMs, NPC towns are just a bunch of immovable textures. However, in Wasteland OL, the survivor strongholds are built by players themselves, moving bricks and dust, and they will also follow the players' gameplay. Behavior, grow with players.

This wave is simply a perfect combination of RPG and SLG. One game brings the joy of two games.

It’s a real profit, isn’t it?

The players were so happy that Chu Guang didn't waste much effort.

For him, it was just a matter of compiling a few simple formulas based on last month's report and asking Xiao Qi to help make a data card similar to the "Property Panel".

Regardless of whether there is an update to version Apha0.8 or not, he will make monthly reports, but now they are disclosed to the players in the form of a "progress bar".

As for the use.

The main purpose is to share with the players the joy of growing a sapling into a towering tree.

After all, just telling the players how awesome our shelter is now due to your efforts, the players are probably at a loss. But if all these efforts are quantified into visible progress bars, who can say that the pattern is useless at all?

Look at Boss Xia's weapon shop, there is a brick contributed by you. Doesn't it make you more motivated when you move bricks?

No matter how miserable those players who cannot be resurrected due to bugs are, those players who are still online and have made reservations are already blown away.

Chu Guang, who was completely relieved, copied a few good bad ideas, stored them in his notebook, and then stretched out and leaned on the computer chair.

"The express delivery will take another hour, what should I do?"

correct.

It seems that blind boxes can be opened again.

Chu Guang's eyes lit up and he sat up from his computer chair. He opened the manager system and switched to the manager allowance sub-page.

Players' gaming behavior these days is relatively simple. They mainly do resource collection tasks in the action camp. The completion of daily tasks is average, and there are a lot of people left who fail to meet the standards every day.

But even so, Chu Guang still accumulated 33 reward points after this week.

The old rule is 3 intermediate blind boxes and 3 junior blind boxes.

But just when Chu Guang was about to draw the lottery, his heart suddenly moved slightly.

etc.

Since it's all about gambling, why not play a big one and try to open 33 junior blind boxes at once?

What if the intermediate blind box or even the advanced blind box were awarded as rewards from the junior blind box? Wouldn’t that be a huge profit?

Anyway, it's useless for him to ask for so many dog-skin plasters and treatment needles.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang no longer hesitated and immediately placed all the reward points on the account on the icon on the far left.

"System, give me 33 primary blind boxes!"

"open!"
