This Game Is Too Realistic

It took about 10 minutes for Lu Bei to report the whole day's work to Chu Guang.

"Led by the gatekeeper named Tris, we entered Camp 101 and were received by local survivors."

"It was a camp hidden deep in a subway tunnel. There were about two to three hundred people living there. The local survivors lived in square barracks. Greenhouse plantations, generators and water purifiers were scattered around the camp. There’s also a digester.”

"The situation there is completely different from that of Hope Town. They are completely self-sufficient in materials and use scientific methods to manage everything in an orderly manner."

"The doorman named Tris, but I visited their greenhouse plantation. There are many hydroponic boxes in which rice, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carbon sequestration devices are grown. They use part of the carbon dioxide Synthesize starch and glucose to balance the carbon dioxide content in the air.”

"In short, the situation there is quite surprising. The locals call themselves sheltered people, but they are not residents of the shelter, but wastelanders who are helped by the residents of the shelter."

"The gate of Vault 101 is in the deepest part of the camp. The residents of the Vault taught them knowledge, and their task is to report the situation outside to the residents of the Vault."

"According to them, their camp was originally located on the surface. Later, in order to escape the war, the residents of the shelter lent them the material transfer area at the door, and then the current camp was established."

"As I talked to them, I could tell that they had a deep affection for the residents of the shelter. Vault 101 was like a holy place to them, and the residents who lived there were even more... is teacher."

After listening to Lu Bei's report, Chu Guang looked at the notes he jotted down in his hand and pondered for a long time, then nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it."

He probably understood.

To put it simply, Camp 101 is the "spokesperson" supported by Shelter 101 on the surface.

These spokespeople were enlightened by the residents of the shelter and acquired knowledge that was not available in the wasteland, and even some production methods and tools from the pre-war era.

While enjoying the convenience brought by the pre-war civilization, they also shouldered the obligation of "looking after the gate" of the shelter.

I have to say this is a smart move.

As far as the shelters Chu Guang has encountered so far, whether they are No. 117 or No. 401, they have all failed because of Akito's reserve and arrogance.

A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years. I can listen to books to pass the time. You can download it here.

In contrast, the Blue Jackets in Vault 101 adopted a more cautious strategy to select worthy people for training, enlighten the ignorant wastelanders, teach them to use tableware and books, and let them learn mathematics. and physics, looking at the world from a rational perspective.

This not only ensures their education rate and professional skill level, but also ensures that they have a world view, values, and ideology close to their own.

In this way, the residents of Vault 101 can collect the intelligence and resources they need at a negligible cost, and avoid the trouble that may be caused by direct contact with local survivors.

Camp 101 is the seeds they sow on the surface, and it is also the buffer zone between them and the wasteland.

If they fail, they can retreat underground at any time and start over again 20, 50 or even 100 years later.

And once it succeeds, this seed grows into a towering tree and establishes a stable and enlightened regime in the wasteland.

Their historical mission has been completed.

"I have not seen the residents of Vault 101," Lu Bei said carefully, putting this sentence at the end, "The elders of Camp 101 told me that they would not leave until they confirmed that the world outside the door was safe. Advise the residents of the shelter to open the door. Even though I tried to explain to them that we had driven away the predators, they just didn't believe me."

"Later, at my insistence, they took me to the gate of Shelter 101. The residents there did not listen to my explanation at all and asked me to communicate with the people in Camp 101."

When he said this, Lu Bei felt very depressed.

He felt like he was a ball, being kicked around by people on both sides.

These people are so ungrateful!

Upon hearing the young man's complaint, Chu Guang immediately guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile.

"They're not worried about predators, they're worried about us."

Lu Bei was stunned for a moment.

"Worried about us? But why should they worry about us?"

Chu Guang said patiently.

"Predators can also wear blue coats and even bring our VM. The vital signs monitor itself is not a particularly advanced thing, nor is it exclusive to the shelter."

“In the first contact, they can only judge through intuition whether we have good intentions, but in the end they still need to use their eyes to confirm whether what we claim is consistent with what we are doing.”

"The world is not black and white. Those who drive away predators may not necessarily be righteous partners, but may also be another group of predators. It is reasonable for them to be vigilant."

"So, before you set off, I repeatedly remind you to be cautious before expressing our intentions. Don't rush the other party to make a decision. Give the other party a little more patience. If they are hesitant, you can suggest that the other party come to our place to have a look. .”

Lu Bei on the other end of the phone pondered for a while and said thoughtfully.

"I understand, so we should invite some of their representatives to come and take a look at our settlement."

Children can be taught.

Satisfied to see this young man enlightened, Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"Invite a few more people over. Remember this is not a request, but an invitation. We need electrical engineers here, as well as water conservancy engineers."

"You can even tell them that I plan to build a dam on the west and southwest sides of the Fourth New District to divert the overflowing lake water northward into the Tianshui tributary and irrigate the nearby land. This will be a long-term project, and we need them. s help."

Painting is also part of the art of management, and the new alliance needs to find common interests with local survivors.

Although the water conservancy project is not the first priority in the construction work of Dawn City, with the expansion of the settlement area, this matter will be done sooner or later.

Lu Bei said excitedly.

"I see!"

Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Go ahead if you understand."

Chu Guang has always been satisfied with this diligent and loyal young man, and has always been deliberately cultivating him.

For example, the reason why this task was given to him was for cultivation.

As for ability and birth, these have never been issues. Chu Guang doesn't believe in the theory of blood at all.

Once a person reaches that position, he will naturally grow.

The core members of the new alliance, the ones who really carry the aura, are actually Yin Fang, Heya, and old Charlie. Most of the others were born in the wasteland.

Like Luca, he was just a farming serf at the beginning and knew nothing about logistics management, but now he can still take care of the work assigned to him in an orderly manner.

There is also Shuyu from Boulder City of the Chu Guang Sect, who was just a refugee at first.

In fact, the same goes for Chu Guang himself. In the Apha0.1 version, he didn't even have a dog at the beginning, and he was almost eaten by a dog. But now he has everything.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang was too lazy to go out for dinner. He dug out a box of canned braised pork from his luggage and started browsing the forum on VM while eating steamed buns for dinner.

Today's official website is as lively as ever.

Coincidentally, while he was eating dinner, his little players were also eating.

But because of the time difference, they had breakfast.

Tails: "Ooooh, I've obviously eaten Tails in the game, why do I have to eat them again in reality! QAQ"

Sisi: "Isn't this a natural thing?"

Tails: "I'm so angry! Why don't you develop a culture chamber that you can lie down in and don't have to worry about anything! It's so troublesome to eat, brush your teeth, take a shower and go to the toilet! ノ｀Дノ"

Sisi: "Uh, you mean the intubation kind? I'd better forget it."

Tail:"?"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "That's it, even if there is that kind of training cabin, the anti-addiction system cannot be allowed to be online 24 hours a day.??ω??"

Roshan Big Momo: "Ah ha ha ha ha"

""

This addiction is too big.

Looking at the discussion in the post, Chu Guang was dumbfounded and didn't know how to complain.

The equipment of the morphogenesis field is not under his control. There may be one in the culture chamber, but it doesn't matter whether it is there or not. The helmet is enough. If you wake up from peeing, just go to the toilet and come back. Find a place to lie down out of the way. Going offline is a basic thing for players.

Although the training cabin allows players to focus more on the game world, he still hopes that his little players can eat well and live well in reality.

Even if it is the only fully immersive virtual reality game in the world, it cannot rest on its laurels.

After closing the post, Chu Guang continued to browse the forum.

The topic that most players are paying attention to is tonight's expansion pack settlement and the reward pool of the lottery. Some players are also focusing on the newly unlocked new map of Xizhou City.

For example, Brother Fang.

Just like when he went to Boulder City before, Fang Chang immediately conducted a detailed investigation of the situation there after arriving at Camp 101, and updated the summarized information on the official website without reservation.

Shock! A high-tech town hidden in a tunnel! Insights from Camp 101!

Seeing this line of title, Chu Guang immediately clicked in.

It's embarrassing to say that, as a game planner, he was the last person to know the relevant information about the new map.

Unlike other games, it is always the dog mastermind who reveals inside information to the powerful players.

Like Lu Bei, Fang Chang first gave a detailed explanation of the background of Camp 101 using a translator and his own understanding.

However, unlike Lu Bei, Fang Chang narrates from the player's perspective. Not only is the narrative style different, but the focus is also different.

"The technical level of Camp 101 is very high. In terms of setting, they are a group of wastelanders who have received shelter education. They have the characteristics of both blue jackets and wastelanders. I even suspect that they themselves are blue jackets and wastelanders. of mixed race.”

"According to their own account, the residents of Vault 101 will only send a small number of people out of the door when needed. Sometimes it is to collect resources, sometimes to collect samples from the wasteland, or to collect data, but They usually don’t stay long.”

"They don't have currency, or even the concept of property. Instead, they have various points, and a person's standard of living is determined based on the type of occupation and contribution to the position."

"For example, ordinary employees can enjoy the living rations of a standard unit, and employees engaged in technical work can enjoy certain consumer goods on the basis of the living rations of a standard unit. In addition, there will be regular KPI assessments to determine the proportion of additional rations. "

"Of course, the above is all information I summarized based on the dialogue in the plot, and it may not be accurate. Compared to Hope Town, this place is more like a paradise composed of a few lucky people."

"There is a lot of special technology here. They can make drones very small and turn carbon dioxide into food. It is not clear how they do it, but one thing is for sure. Since there is no currency, I’m afraid Camp 101 won’t be able to trade freely like Boulder City.”

"But this does not mean that they do not have trading needs, such as energy, food and fresh water, which are very precious locally. Although we also need these things, we can use part of the surplus to exchange with them."

"I speculate that the deal with Camp 101 may be carried out in a more official form. For example, professional players who run factories can hire highly educated engineers from Camp 101 to produce products on a large scale that were not available before the new alliance. Then For example, maybe they will open a new NPC store here and use high-tech products to exchange resources with us."

Mole on the run in the canyon: "So that means Camp 101 is not a map for players?"

Fang Chang: "It can be said that the main reason is that there are no shops on this map."

Night Ten: "Brother Fang is very disappointed. There are no bars here with less clothes. It's funny."

Fang Chang: "Ganggun, when the hell did I go to a bar like that?"

Makabazi: "Hahahaha! It's exposed, brother!"

Teng Teng: "You people are so dirty.?ω?`"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "What about the mission? Don't interrupt! Are there any missions in the new map?"

Fang Chang: "I didn't see it. The VM signal here is very poor and it's generally impossible to trigger missions on newly unlocked maps, right?"

Kuangfeng: "But one thing to say is that the level of humanity here is indeed extraordinary. They even have their own school. I took a curious look and they actually teach advanced mathematics."

Garbage Picking Level 99: "What the hell?! There's even a university?"

Ye Shi: "Pfft, you're too boring."

Kuangfeng: "No, I'm just curious. What surprised me even more is that the students in the class are all relatively young. Generally, unless they are special talents, we don't recommend early exposure to too professional content."

Crow Crow: "How young is that? 0.0"

Kuangfeng: "About 12 years old."

Ye Shi: "What the hell!?"

Thunder Dharma King Professor Yang: “Awesome!”

Lao Bai: "When I was twelve years old, I forgot whether I was in the first grade of junior high school or the sixth grade. I cried with laughter."

Irena: "I studied advanced mathematics at the age of 12. What should I study at the age of 16? Building rockets? Funny."

Elf King Fugui: "If I give them advanced math homework, will it count as a free use of the developer's computing power? Funny."

Ye Shi: "Hello SAO. Funny."

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and ask: "6666! Ward's athlete's foot, who can blame me, hahaha, who knows?"

A group of engineering and science players called themselves experts.

Some cloud players from the Department of Mathematics said that there is no need to let middlemen make the difference. They can directly post their assignments on the forum. Each question is one silver coin, the price is fair, and no one can be deceived.

After they save enough silver coins, they plan to transfer the topic into the game and directly let NPC "write it".

After scrolling to the bottom of the post, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh. His little players are really talented. They can think of such operations as asking NPCs to help them write homework.

Look at your little potential, you are so reserved in your dreams.

If there is such an awesome game, why would you write a review for it? Wouldn’t it be nice to just copy the solid-state hydrogen technology back?

However, it can be seen that governments of various countries have not disclosed the "true identity" of Wasteland OL operators, and even deliberately concealed relevant clues.

After all, the announcement of such unbelievable things as "extraterrestrial intelligence" has no benefit except causing unnecessary panic. On the contrary, it may stimulate an unknown existence.

However, the cautious attitude of official agencies in various countries has helped Chu Guang a lot.

Even if there are people on the forum who tell extremely scary "ghost stories" all the time, such as that Wasteland OL is actually a real world, everyone will just laugh when they hear it and don't take it seriously at all.

What about the double-slit interference experiment and measuring the gravitational constant? These are experiments that can be done by everyone. They are too childish. Experiments that are slightly more complicated are less popular at best.

Not to mention that Wasteland OL stated in its "announcement" that this game is based on the dream system and is constructed by the player's subconscious and cognition.

Everything the player sees in the game is what the player subconsciously thinks he can see.

Logically speaking, the person in the box can imagine the world outside the box at will, but it is impossible to use the rules in the box to prove the existence of the world outside the box.

The only way to prove that there is a world outside cooperation is to open the box.

Of course Chu Guang would not do this.

Whether it is first-hand truth or second-hand truth, it is not a good thing to know too much.

But when the situation allows, he will try to open up second-hand truth, in a relatively gentle way, to help his players gain more benefits in reality.

There's more to it than just money and accolades.

It could even be status.

After flipping through the post from the beginning, Chu Guang made a judgment after thinking about it for a while.

"Fang Chang's suggestion makes some sense. The social situation in Camp 101 is closer to a micro-utopia, and communication with it should be conducted in a more official form."

“But it’s not just about bringing in technical jobs, we also have to bring in some educational talents as much as possible.”

Based on Lu Bei and Fang Chang's "investigation reports", the New Alliance's investigation of Camp 101 has been comprehensive.

The only thing that confused Chu Guang was how this "small but beautiful" utopian society existed in the wasteland.

But that's not the point.

The point is there's a lot of technology out there worth bringing in, and that's exactly what the new league needs.

Chu Guang said as his index finger passed across the VM screen.

"Xiao Qi, sort out the clues in the memo for me and update the information about Camp 101 in the official website database."

"Okay, Master!" Xiao Qi's enthusiastic reply came to his ears.

Chu Guang nodded and looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost 8 o'clock, he continued.

"By the way, there is also the settlement of the expansion pack. Have you finished it there?"

"Well"

That energetic voice suddenly became a little subtle.

"Xiaoqi has finished being a master, are you sure this is really okay?"

Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"What's the meaning"

Xiaoqi didn't answer and silently sent over the settlement form.

Seeing the eye-catching numbers on the form, Chu Guang almost choked on his own saliva.

"One hundred million?! Are you sure you didn't count an extra 0?!"

Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.

"How is it possible? Master, the reward settlements for the previous battles also included points. This war has lasted for so long, and the average player score has almost reached 40,000."

Chu Guang said anxiously.

"That's fine"

In the middle of his words, he suddenly stopped talking.

This battle has been going on for two months, and new players are entering the game every day. The number of players is no longer the original 1,600.

The number of players in the server is now close to 3,000.

And not only the frontline players can get points, but the players behind the scenes who are engaged in production work also have points.

A line of text popped up on the screen.

QAQ

Chu Guang: ""

Xiao Qi whispered: "How about diluting the reward pool?"

According to past practice, the value of each point is 0.05 silver coins.

If you draw a prize for 100 points, some people can get an exoskeleton worth 2,000 silver coins, while some people can only get a discount coupon or a lollipop.

If the total number of points is 100 million, and you want to ensure the explosion rate, the total cost of the reward pool must be 5 million silver coins.

Below this number, the explosion rate will be diluted.

Chu Guang originally expected that after the expansion, the total points distributed should be around 20 million, and the cost of the reward pool could be controlled at 1 million silver coins.

Unexpectedly, it doubled five times.

"I neglected that this battle was too expensive." Chu Guang looked dumbfounded. He opened the system interface and took a look at the points he had saved.

From the end of the last wave to now, apart from occasionally drawing beginner and intermediate blind boxes, he has kept most of his points for no use, and he has only saved about 1,500 points until now.

15 advanced blind boxes

I originally wanted to save 20 to smoke together, but now it seems I can’t.

Hope something good comes out.

Otherwise, he will have to find a way to eat leeks again.

At the same time, in the management center of Camp 101, the air purifier made a soft whine.

The gray-haired old man sat on a chair, his eyes slightly closed and lost in thought, as if he was asleep.

His name is Horn, and he is the mayor of Camp 101. He is responsible for all matters in the camp and the appointment of various affairs officers.

Half an hour ago, representatives from the New Alliance extended an invitation to visit the settlement.

Camp 101 did not have an affairs officer specifically responsible for foreign affairs. They had previously encountered the largest force, the Bone-Chewing Tribe.

As for survivor communities such as "Good Weather Cooperative" and "Happy Home" with dozens or hundreds of people, they don't need to deliberately contact each other.

The tradition of Camp 101 is to let experts take charge of specialized issues. However, what troubled Horn was that he could not find anyone to discuss this issue with, so he could only call all the affairs officers over.

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked around at the many affairs officers present.

"What do you think?"

Seeing the mayor looking at him, the education affairs officer hesitated for a moment and answered with an uncertain tone.

"He is a very polite boy."

This sentence has been recognized by many people.

Although the four bodyguards were a little curious and even accidentally broke into their class, the representative Lu Bei was indeed very polite.

This is what confuses them the most.

Those who most resembled the shelter residents acted outside their common sense.

Horn sighed softly.

"I'm not asking about your evaluation of that kid. What I want to ask is, what do you think of the new alliance."

The security officer thought for a moment and said.

"They were very powerful and ended the war in just two months."

When the war was going on outside, Camp 101 was not unaware. They had been secretly peeking at the screen.

This includes the use of cameras mounted on the surface and drones launched over short distances.

The weapons of the new alliance cannot be said to have high technical content, but they are sufficient in quantity.

Overwhelming firepower and a steady stream of air strikes helped them win the war.

If you ask him to evaluate, he has only one opinion.

This survivor is very powerful!

The production officer whispered, "But they use child labor. That child must be a soldier."

Education Affairs Officer: "Most of the survivors outside gather like this. After all, their average lifespan is only 35 years old. We cannot ask them to be like us and wait until they are 40 years old before taking up key positions."

Tris, who was standing aside, suddenly said: "Maybe the other party just sent a young man here to express goodwill."

Although he is not an affairs officer, as a "gatekeeper", his status in Camp 101 is not low.

That Lu Bei gave him a good first impression.

Generally, the awakened people in the wasteland would like to raise their noses to the sky, but that boy was rare and polite.

The other party did not send an aggressive representative to show their hegemony, which at least shows that they have the intention of getting along with each other in a friendly manner.

This sentence was recognized by many people present.

"I think we should go to their settlement, not just in Auroville City, but also in their capital city called Auroville City."

"Indeed, it is best to meet their managers. Shelters and refuges are different."

Horn thought for a long time and said.

"That's what I think too. We can't be isolated from the world forever, let alone hide underground forever. What's more, they have expanded their territory to our doorstep."

Everyone was whispering quietly.

At this time, the education affairs officer spoke.

"But the question is who to send?"

Horn thought for a moment and said slowly.

"They sent a child over, let's send a child over too."

The security officer hesitated: "Isn't this too dangerous?"

"Of course it's impossible to send just one person to this kind of thing. We have too little information on industry, economy, and population, and there are too many things that need to be investigated."

The production officer nodded.

"My suggestion is that we send at least two to three experts."

The security officer frowned.

"But what about the safety issue? There are more dangers outside than just predators. Don't forget how much we paid to collect samples from the nearby forest."

Not enough manpower

With his index finger gently pressing between his eyebrows, Horn, who was leaning on the chair, thought for a long time and made a decision.

"I will ask my lord to arrange a bodyguard for him."
