Chapter 112 Hummingbird! and auctions!

This little guy is actually a drone?

Well, I almost made a fool of myself.

Watching the two pairs of propellers pop out above his head, and the silver metal ball suspended and floated in front of him, Chu Guang poked it with interest.

Still adaptive and stable?

"interesting."

Change the propeller to wings, paint the sphere gold, and make it a little smaller, it looks like the golden snitch in Harry Potter.

The light blue label attached to this thing by the system reads the five words [Hummingbird drone], and is accompanied by a long list of instructions for use.

In simple terms, this thing can be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission functions, just insert a thumbnail-sized plug-in.

The general interface on the VM just matches this plugin.

But, is this thing a weapon?

Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xiaoqi said aggrievedly.

"But you didn't ask me, Master."

Emmm

seems to be too.

Chu Guang didn't blame it. After playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask.

"What's the use of this thing? Can you shoot?"

Shouldn't it be self-destruction?

If it was really a one-time consumable, it would be too much.

Xiaoqi: "Its function is mainly for reconnaissance... It's not easy for such a small guy to integrate a long-life battery and a motor. It must not be able to carry combat parts, right?"

"Reconnaissance?" Chu Guang stood beside the drone and observed for a while, "Why didn't I see its camera?"

Xiaoqi continued to explain.

"The camera has been integrated with the surface material, and it is definitely invisible to the eye. But don't worry about performance. Although the camera is small, it is very powerful! The 60 dot matrix camera clusters distributed on the surface of the sphere can have no dead ends. Capture 360-degree area high-definition pictures, even in the night environment can be used."

Although you can't see the camera, but the whole body is full of cameras smaller than a pinhole, does that mean it's big?

Having a camera, doesn't that mean you can take pictures?

Although Xiaoqi can also take pictures, because the scope of activities is too small, at most he will stand on the nursing home and photograph the players at work.

With this thing, you should be able to take a lot of interesting photos. Add a little filter, a proper movie-level game CG.

Chu Guang touched his chin and continued to ask.

"What about flight altitude? And distance, working time, and...how to charge?"

Xiaoqi answered quickly.

"Charging is very simple. The drone has a built-in wireless charging interface. Like me, it can be automatically charged in a shelter, and my power can also be distributed to it."

"As for the flight height, it is recommended to fly at a low altitude below 100m. Although it is not impossible to fly to an altitude of several hundred meters in theory, it is recommended not to stay at high altitude for too long. Working in a high altitude environment for a long time will not only cause damage to the engine. The load will also bring security risks.

"As for the distance, if there are not many obstacles, it is very easy to use within a range of three kilometers, but it is also not recommended to be too far from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone, and the advantages are the long battery life of nearly 12 hours and the complexity. Overcoming obstacles in the environment... Remote detection is still a bit difficult."

When encountering many obstacles, the signal transmission will be affected.

However, the control chip of the "Hummingbird" UAV has an integrated automatic return program. Once the connection is lost, the AI will be activated automatically, and the UAV will be controlled to return to the starting coordinates or the preset rendezvous point according to the video images in the cached data and the estimated route.

After understanding the function of this little guy, Chu Guang reached out and took off the drone, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

If you throw the drone into the sky before the fight, it's like putting a real eye on the enemy's head.

You can receive video and images through the VM.

is so awesome!

"Owner"

"What's the matter?" Hearing Xiaoqi's voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, "Is there any other function that hasn't been introduced?"

"That... can you give it to Xiao Qi?" Xiao Qi suggested weakly, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main server of the shelter, and the pictures I see can be directly transmitted to you. You Give it to me, Xiaoqi can see farther, and it can help you monitor players' activities more conveniently."

"That's a good idea." Chu Guang's eyes lit up.

This thing is very useful in battle, but there are not many chances to go to the front line. In addition, the defense force is piled up like an iron barrel, so many of these things are actually not that useful.

Might as well take it and peep the screen.

No, it should be said strategic reconnaissance!

Xiaoqi continued.

"Master, when I was helping you sort out the information yesterday, I noticed that the guard's diary seemed to mention a signal tower? If the power supply of that signal tower can be restored, maybe the signal coverage of Vault 404 can be further expanded. Oh."

Chu Guang placed the drone on top of Xiaoqi's head and continued with interest.

"You mean...the signal tower used by the guards to communicate with the survivors on the surface? I have considered it, but according to the clues returned by the players exploring the map, it seems that there is no gain."

Xiaoqi continued.

"The function of the signal tower should be more than just contact with the surface. According to the clues in the recording, it seems that this shelter has been collecting radio signals on the ground as samples for analysis in the years after the war."

"According to my speculation, this tower should have a complete signal transmission and reception function, maybe we can use it to provide information services to the players' VM devices. This way, even in areas far from shelters, you can Release the mission to the players."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"The idea is a good one, but the question is where are we going to find this tower? Do you have a map?"

Xiaoqi said immediately.

"Although there is no map, it is obvious that this signal tower is near us? If the nearby two kilometers area has been explored by players"

Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang suddenly reacted.

"76th Street?"

Xiaoqi said happily.

"Hmm! The host is awesome!"

really.

Eliminate all wrong options, and the final answer will naturally surface.

Wetland Park is surrounded by lakes to the west and northwest, wasteland, abandoned buildings, and abandoned park facilities to the south, and Bette Street to the south, as well as the Fifth Ring Road to the south of Bette Street.

As for the area to the north to the abandoned tire factory, the players in the shelter have already figured it out, and the only one that has not been explored is the 76th Street directly opposite the East Gate.

Speaking of which, the greenhouse site seems to be at the entrance of 76th Street.

The range of activities of the players is getting closer and closer to the realm of mutants.

Chu Guang, who was looking at the map, fell into deep thought.

"Tsk."

"Have to think of a way to get those green-skinned muscle guys in one pot."

The next morning.

The heavy snow has rested for a while, and it seems that today is a rare sunny day.

At the entrance of the weapon store, there was a large circle of people.

Later players stood on tiptoe, looked across the crowd, grabbed the players next to them, and inquired about what was going on.

"What happened? Why are so many people crowded here?"

"Auction at the Weapon Shop!"

"Auction?! When will the team fight again, why don't I know?"

"It's not a team battle, it's an ordinary auction! I don't know what's going on, it seems to be a temporary event in the game, haven't you checked the official website?"

"No! As soon as I got home, I didn't take off my clothes, so I put the helmet on my head!"

"Damn it, you don't even take a bath?"

"Wake up in the morning and wash! How can games be cool in reality?"

"Crazy crazy."

Chu Guang glanced at the crowd around him, seeing that it was almost time to come, he cleared his throat, raised the bow in his hand, and said in a solemn and solemn tone.

"...this is a mechanical compound bow from the deepest part of the sanctuary, and the legend about it...well, in fact, it has not left any legends."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Brand new limbs, shiny bowstrings, scaled variable focus sights, and a battery that powers the pulley with an electric drive! Helps you deliver the fatal blow! It's the undisputed latest addition to the Born from hunting. The legends about it are waiting for you to write!"

"The starting price is 100 silver! Each increase shall not be less than 1 silver!"

"unlimited!"

No upper limit price!

Stimulate!

The moment the voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene instantly boiled.

"101 Silver!"

"I will give out 102 silver!"

"Hey! What's wrong with you! I'll pay 110 silver!"

"My first hand, 120 silver, this bow is better than a gun no matter how you look at it. If you use a three-edged arrow, you might be able to shoot through"

"130 silver! You talk too much!"

180!!

The shouts were broken.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at the person who made the bid. They thought it was the mosquito who never went to the front line, but it turned out to be "the only old man who was planned to be banned by himself" on the forum.

Can he use a bow and arrow?

Being a little embarrassed by everyone's eyes, Mole argued with a red face.

"I'm an agile student, do you have any questions?"

Silence.

Forced by his momentum, a little Mengxin, who was close to him, beeped softly.

"No"

"Right--"

"Cough, I'm 188, make up an auspicious number."

Mole, who was just complacent for two seconds, turned back suddenly to look at the hand held in the crowd. Seeing this, everyone around sighed, and the mosquitoes really shot.

After the price broke 150, it was a fight between the gods.

Players in the third echelon have withdrawn from the bidding, and players in the second echelon remain on the sidelines.

Honestly, anyone can sell weapons, but Chu Guang only doesn't want to sell them to Mosquitoes. Every time this guy shoots something, he never uses it, he keeps it as a collection.

For example, the scorpion-type submachine gun, and the double-barreled shotgun that the **** hand clan boss exploded, Chu Guang never saw this guy bring it out and use it.

I have some wool for it!

Can you give birth or what can you do?

At this moment, a big righteous hand was raised.

"200 Silver!"

"What the hell?!"

"Two, two hundred?!"

Mole and Mosquito, their eyes instantly widened.

looked back suddenly, and saw that the person who raised his hand was Elder Fang who entered the game earlier than them.

The surrounding players are also whispering.

"200 silver to buy a bow?!"

"Crazy, this money can buy two guns!"

"But I don't think it's a loss. For example, tying the three-edged arrow with explosives... Have you ever played Graphics Card Crisis? That's what I'm talking about."

"MMP, don't talk about it, I want to buy it from the Intelligence Department!"

"Woooooo, when can I be so rich."

Fang Chang ignored the whispers of other players, looked at Brother Mosquito, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother, give me a face... I bought it and it is really useful."

Among these players, there is probably no one who can use bows and arrows better than him.

Mosquito reluctantly spread out his hand, expressing surrender.

"My own people, I gave up."

There is nothing wrong with not giving up.

He did make a fortune selling wooden bows to newcomers before, but he also spent a lot of money on "invention and creation". In addition to the previous purchases and purchases, the sum of the money in his pocket was 190 silver.

The Mole shouted annoyed.

"Hey! Where did you get so much money? Embezzle public funds!"

Fang Chang didn't speak when Ye Shi got out.

"Hehe, do you think we won't do anything other than burn bricks? If nothing else, the exclusive task of the light brick factory, to increase the daily output to more than 5,000, there will be 100 silver coins directly"

Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai covered Ye Shi's mouth.

"Alright alright, stop talking."

was heard by the plan, so be careful.

But having said that, these 200 silver coins are actually all the deposit of the cattle and horse team. The reason why Fang Chang didn't raise his cards before was actually discussing with his teammates.

Without going around in circles, he wanted this bow.

His archery hit rate is now able to hit a moving target at a distance of 50m. If he can get this bow, his combat power will be directly doubled, and the team DPS will also increase a lot!

The other three teammates didn't have any opinion either. They played other games together, and the same goes for changing games.

The team has exported, but still worry about not making money?

Especially Ye Shi, who supports Elder Fang the most. After all, the bolt-action rifle he was using was the one that Fang Chang suggested that everyone raise money for him.

Canyon Fleeing Mole: "Alas, you are really rich, crying."

Fang Chang smiled and said, "I'm sorry brother, next time I have something good, I will definitely not **** it from you!"

The fleeing mole in the canyon: "I remember this!"

In this way, the battle of the local tyrant players came to an end, and everyone dispersed one after another, and went their own way.

Brother Mole is still the same as yesterday, pulling the team from the forum to rush to the copy of the greenhouse ruins. As for the two brothers who were lying dead in the team, they were replaced by two new men from the power system.

Insect-type dungeons are rare and difficult to play for perception-type players. Most insect-type aliens seem to have their own hidden bonuses, which are not perceived at all.

The official website forum has already formed a consensus. When downloading this kind of dungeon, it is better to bring two more tanks with reconnaissance.

can resist, there is output.

As for the Niu Ma team, Chu Guang specially observed it with a drone and found that they did not stay in the brick factory, but went out of the wetland park along the north gate and went to a collapsed department store between the tire factory and the abandoned construction site. .

Is there anything there?

Chu Guang was very curious, but he didn't follow the drone. After all, it was more than three kilometers ahead, and the signal was somewhat affected.

Anyway, when they found something good, they didn't bring it back to themselves. When the time comes, they will look through the guide on the official website and they will naturally figure it out.

All the combat pros have gone out to work, and there are only newcomers in the base who are running errands, and life pros who play "Wasteland OL" as a health care game.

When Chu Guang walked into the Teng Teng hut, the ingenious Miss Teng Teng was standing on the bench, facing a wooden board smeared with charcoal, teaching the three intelligence department freshmen how to use the leftovers to make fur coats The leftovers are used to make some leather goods such as holsters and scabbards.

"...There are no two identical leaves in the world, nor two identical furs in the world. You must remember this sentence."

"If you want to become a qualified designer, you must first learn to distinguish the subtle differences between furs of similar sizes. Only after you have selected the materials, you can start the next step."

"have you understood?"

Teng Teng, who is standing on the bench and giving lectures, is like a teacher in a large class in kindergarten.

The three players stared wide-eyed, obviously not understanding, but still nodded in confusion.

"Understood!"

"Awesome!"

Seeing that his students are so savvy, Fujito nodded with satisfaction, patted his black hand, and jumped off the bench.

At this moment, she saw the manager standing at the entrance, and her eyes lit up.

Hidden quest delivered to your door? !

"Well, think about it for yourself first!"

dropped a sentence, and Fujito immediately greeted the entrance and said excitedly.

"Dear Manager, do you have any instructions?"

Chu Guang went straight to the point and said.

"The outpost recently captured a batch of cocoons of devil moths. The devil silk drawn from these cocoons is a good material. I would like to ask you if there is a way to weave them into usable cloth."

"Weaving?" Teng Teng looked blank, "I remember that before weaving, we had to reel silk?"

Honestly, she wouldn't.

If it's just clothing design, you don't need such "basic" knowledge at all. Even the fur processing she is currently doing was taught by herself through the learning materials downloaded from the Internet after playing "Wasteland Online".

Now the manager has given her another problem.

Although it is not difficult to find some public information with the help of the Internet. But what she wasn't sure about was whether the information she found was still valid on the cocoons of the devil moth.

In other words, would anyone really use the cocoons of this mutant moth to make clothes?

sounds weird.

Chu Guang looked at Fujiteng and continued.

"Whether it's silk reeling or whatever, I need it to be turned into usable thread and cloth. If we can use these materials, we can make lighter and more durable armor, and the excess products can be replaced by our urgent The lack of food... do you have any good ideas?"

Although he had no confidence, when Fujito learned the importance of this task from the manager's mouth, he nodded vigorously.

"Although I haven't tried it before, I think I can give it a try!"

At the same time as the voice fell, she received a task pop-up window on her VM.

Task: Textile Technology

[Briefing: The outpost has obtained a batch of devil silk. These are high-quality materials, but to turn these materials into silk threads and cloth, we must first solve the problem of production tools.

Requirements: Make a spinning machine and a loom.

Reward: 100 Silver

[Note: Although a hand spinning machine and loom are enough to complete the task, if you can combine the current needs of the outpost to make a production machine with better performance, it may trigger additional hidden rewards.

100 credits!

When he saw the quest reward, Fujito's eyes instantly turned into the color of silver coins.

Especially the following remark.

If you can make a production machine with excellent performance, it may trigger additional hidden rewards!

"Don't worry, my esteemed administrator!"

The index finger slammed on the VM screen, and Fujito raised his head excitedly, and continued with an oath, "Fujito will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Well, please."

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

If he had to figure out these troublesome things by himself, just one steelmaking process would be enough for him to figure it out until next year.

But with these hardworking and brave little players...

Chu Guang suddenly felt that life in the wasteland was not as difficult as he imagined.
