Chapter 285 To the end of the Alpha version!

After researching for a while, Chu Guang finally figured out the use of the pillar-like terminal in front of him.

In simple terms, it is the portal through which the player projects his consciousness into the world.

is equivalent to the "Wasteland OL" server.

The three thousand available gene sequences stored in it can be understood as three thousand "game activation codes".

After the player logs into the game, the image of the consciousness is cached on this "server". As for the training cabin, in addition to providing information services for players, it is more like an information node.

The helmet, the player's real body, the server, the training cabin, and the clone form a "field" together, and an invisible "string" is connected in series between the five.

The medium of information transmission is not electromagnetic waves or optical signals, and maybe even the method of information transmission itself is a technology that Chu Guang does not understand.

And this is also the reason why the power failure of the training cabin will cause the player to be disconnected, and each consciousness can only control one clone.

Of course, this is just Chu Guang's speculation.

The first generation of managers did not explain to him the technical principles of these devices, nor how he delivered the helmets to the players.

"Three thousand game 'activation codes'... It should be able to be unlocked further, right? It's not like there are just so many things in the entire server." Chu Guang slid his index finger on the touch screen and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

It's not that he is greedy.

He just thought that he could take great pains to deliver the helmet to the players, and also establish a strong connection between the player and the clone, just to release thousands of gene sequences?

He didn't believe it.

waved away the light blue holographic screen, Chu Guang's eyes fell on the four black boxes.

The game activation code is available.

There is no game account yet.

No surprise, the answer should be there.

As Chu Guang expected, the black box with the largest volume

is used to synthesize the cultivation cabin!

"According to the instructions in the manual, put in iron ingots, aluminum ingots, graphite... and other eleven materials in turn, and add 100L of water. Please ensure uninterrupted power supply and place the black box in a ventilated place."

The warehouse on the B3 floor.

Next to a black cube covering an area of 20 square meters.

Three warehouse workers are inputting materials into the black box through simple and easy-to-understand operation procedures under the command of Yin Fang.

Although it was a graphic tutorial that even fools could understand, it didn't matter whether there was Yin Fang or not, but Chu Guang always felt that having an expert by his side would make him feel more at ease.

The black box hummed slightly.

After waiting for a while, two brand-new cultivation cabins were sent out from the conveyor belt at the discharge port at the same time, and lay quietly in the open space of the warehouse.

Witnessing everything in front of them, the three aborigines had surprised expressions on their faces, as if they had seen some incredible miracles.

What put in is nothing more than a pile of metal ingots.

came out with one... Well, they don't know what these two iron bumps are used for, but that doesn't prevent them from being surprised by the changes in front of them!

This is incredible!

is more magical than conjuring!

Thinking of this, the three of them secretly glanced at Chu Guang, and there was a trace of awe in their respectful eyes as if they were looking at a god.

As expected of the manager!

Although they didn't understand it at all, they were shocked.

Yin Fang also had an expression of interest on his face.

Of course he knew what a black box was, but that didn't stop him from being curious about what it produced.

The black box of the college is either the production of exoskeletons, or the production of drones, or laser guns or some gadgets with obvious uses and single functions.

But the black box here is different.

Before he came to Qingquan City, he had never seen so many black boxes with "weird functions".

For example, the two iron boxes in front of you.

walked up to the two training cabins, touched the left and right, and looked at it. Yin Fang researched for a long time and couldn't figure out what this thing was used for.

"Unbelievable... How many black boxes do you have?! And what is this iron box? A coffin?"

Chu Guang did not answer his question, one because he didn't know, and the other because it was inconvenient to answer.

He glanced at the time on the VM and silently calculated the production speed of the training cabin, but his heart sank slightly.

"The maximum production capacity in a single day is 40 units, calculated on the basis of 30 days a month... A maximum of 1200 players can be released in a month."

As for the cost, it made Chu Guang's brows aching.

The black box drawn this time comes with a fusion battery, and the electricity cost is temporarily ignored. After all, this can't be counted.

The material cost alone is as high as 2000 silver coins!

Equivalent to the cost of three dormant pods!

Steel and aluminum are cheap, copper is barely OK, and the supply is stable. However, such as nickel, molybdenum, and other rare metals, but not so cheap.

If the production capacity is full, it is equivalent to an increase of 8W silver coins per day, and it will be 240W silver coins in one month!

But from another angle, a two-headed cow costs three or four thousand or even four or five thousand silver coins. Players with two thousand silver coins are much more capable than a two-headed cow.

A cheap and self-conscious android has tens of thousands of chips at least, and a player can create far more value than a android.

Is 2000 silver expensive?

Not expensive at all.

As for the monthly increase of 240W...

At first glance, it seems a bit more, but in fact it is quite a lot, but it is not a big problem!

First of all, this fiscal expenditure is different from other fiscal expenditures. It is not directly put into the market and will not directly cause inflation.

Secondly, as long as Chu Guang can find a way to obtain a steady stream of resources from the outside and increase the financial income of the refuge, it is still very easy to fill this hole without major fluctuations in the price of industrial raw materials.

It's okay to say that you don't have money, but it's a big deal to stop the production line for a while, and it's okay to continue it when you have money.

"In order to summon more players, Vault 404 needs to strengthen its regional influence and military presence in Honghe Town!"

"When the situation is right, consider including Honghe Town as the second recovery area of the 'New Alliance'!"

At present, the refuge maintains a military base in Honghe Town. At first, it was just to find something for the players to do and make some extra money, but unexpectedly, it became an unexpected joy.

"...But now the training cabin needs to be produced by itself, and the distribution mode of the B-round test qualifications has to be adjusted slightly."

Looking at the two training cabins in the warehouse, Chu Guang thought to himself.

For example, from one-time large-scale investment in accounts, to 40 daily distributions based on the version cycle. The current version of the 3,000 accounts is available, when will he get more activation codes and when will the next round start.

Now the number of players has gradually increased, and it has reached four digits. Maintaining a continuous growth of double digits every day is indeed more in line with the current needs of the shelter than the explosive growth.

This thing is like the population. It is a burden if it rises too much at a time. Everyone is working hard, but it is not enough to not rise at all. No one will roll up the boss's car, who will come to refuel.

The basic work has to be done by someone.

Novice tasks below 10 silver coins are too low for old players, but they are still delicious for new players.

The work efficiency of the players is three times or more than that of the general aborigines. Even if the slaves are tired, they will let go for a while, but the players only see the progress bar!

The most important thing is that the newbies are cute.

Chu Guang likes them very much.

Seeing that Chu Guang had been ignoring him, Yin Fang made a helpless expression, gave up the function of asking about the training cabin, and instead studied the other three black boxes.

The second black box is the same as the one found in the warehouse on the B3 floor. It is used to produce dormant cabins. The daily production capacity is 20~24 units. The cost is not expensive and the maintenance is cheap. It can be used to scan and record the DNA expression of whole body cells.

Black boxes are not unique, and it is not uncommon to have overlapping functions.

A player can only have one training pod, but the dormant pod can serve multiple players at different times.

Resurrection points are suitable for deployment in the rear, but save points can be deployed directly on the front line, or even next to the ammunition depot.

The production capacity of the dormant cabin has doubled, and Chu Guang is still quite satisfied. In the future, the players' demand for the dormant cabin will definitely be much larger than that of the training cabin.

This thing can replace sleeping bags and become a must-have artifact for players to travel at home. After the number of save points is enough, Chu Guang will consider opening the sleeping cabin to players whose contribution points are above citizens.

The money earned by just subsidizes the production of the training cabin.

The products of the first two black boxes are related to the players, but the third black box is slightly different, and has basically nothing to do with the clones of the players.

However, its value is no less than the first two. Not only was Yin Fang excitedly surprised, but even Chu Guang showed a surprised expression.

"X-4 polymer fiber!" Yin Fang's face was full of envy, and he couldn't help but say, "Damn...you have too many good things!"

X-4 polymer fiber!

B-level technology!

Only need to input wood, water and a lot of electricity into the black box to stably produce X-4 polymer fibers, and the by-products are carbon dioxide and possibly methane!

X-4 fiber has a wide range of uses. It can be used as a non-static barrier fabric on chemical protective clothing, or it can be used to replace ordinary fibers to make smokeless gunpowder after crushing, and improve the explosion speed of gunpowder!

This X-4 version of smokeless powder is especially suitable for use as a propellant for cannonballs, rockets or bullets!

The outpost got a bunch of X-4 fiber from the carbon dioxide trap with the help of the Trailblazer, but with the advancement of industrialization, there is not much left.

Now that we have the ability to produce independently, the power of the LD-47 series of weapons and the light and heavy lances produced by the No. 81 Steel Plant will undoubtedly rise to a new level!

And it's a stable enhancement!

Chu Guang glanced at Yin Fang, who was full of envy, and asked with interest.

"Can't the Academy produce X-4 fiber?"

"The output is not high, the intermediate process is complicated, and it is very expensive!" After giving a three-sentence evaluation, Yin Fang's eyes fell into memory, and he continued, "...I remember buying a set of X-4 fiber fabrics at that time. Protective clothing, saving two months' salary."

It can save a D-level prospector's salary for two months, which should be relatively expensive.

Chu Guang remembered hearing from Yin Fang before that the highest level of prospectors in the academy was D, and they could bring an independent expedition team out for archaeology.

Although the level and authority of D-level prospectors are not high, their income is slightly higher than that of C-level researchers in non-core laboratories, and because they often have access to first-hand information, the speed and opportunity of promotion are also higher than those of the same level. The researchers are a lot faster.

However, this has nothing to do with Yin Fang.

Yin Fang had missed the college quite a bit before, but since he watched the video of Dr. Yuanyuan and Chu Guang appointed him as the branch dean of the college's No. 404 branch, he no longer felt homesick.

For others to do archaeology, how can it be comfortable to direct others to do archaeology?

Here he is not only the leader of the "scientific research team", but also does not have to take the blame for the incompetent boss.

This is so delicious!

Yin Fang then looked at the last black box, which was also the smallest of the four black boxes.

Its length and width are equivalent to an adult's arm and forearm, and its thickness is only one palm.

This is also the smallest one ever recovered from Vault 404, even smaller than the one recovered from Vault 117.

Really only the size of a suitcase!

And its products are quite special.

According to the fool-like graphic tutorial printed on the black box, the workers input 100g of graphite, 10L of water and a little iron filings and other materials in turn.

After about an hour, a syringe with a capacity of about 10ml was slowly sent out from the discharge port.

A pale yellow solution was shaking in the syringe.

Yin Fang held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said curiously.

"what is this?"

"Induced expression serum..."

Softly read the small words on the black box, and a surprise flashed in Chu Guang's eyes.

He probably guessed the purpose of this thing.

However, the specific clinical effects have to be further demonstrated by professionals.

"The serum will be handed over to Heya to study... that's her area of expertise, and she should be very interested."

After finishing speaking, Chu Guang then looked at the three warehouse workers standing by and continued to instruct.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the production of these four black boxes. I will assign some more people to you. You decide how to allocate them. I only have one requirement. Make sure to ensure that the three shifts are rotated and the machines are turned on 24 hours a day!"

Seeing that the manager entrusted such an important task to himself, the three of them were flattered, and their faces all showed serious expressions.

"Don't worry, my lord!"

"I am willing to swear with my life to complete the task you have given me!"

"Me too!"

Looking at the loyal three, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"I believe in you."

Operating a black box does not require any culture.

Even mutants can understand fool-proof tutorials on black boxes, let alone workers trained in literacy classes.

Although this kind of production equipment designed for the apocalypse is precise, it is not delicate, and it is still a bit difficult to break it.

The aboriginal people who can enter the sanctuary are, without exception, loyal people who are "recognized by the VM".

In addition, there are cameras everywhere in the shelter, and Xiaoqi will report to himself as soon as there is any problem, which is basically foolproof.

"...Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House, today's West Third Ring Road is calm, the temperature is 13, a light rain has made the air a lot fresher, we have reason to believe that the air in the future will be better , the tide, the gray fog, and that rotten stench will be over by the end of the month!"

"Let's cheer for the Lord of the City, the head of the militia regiment, and General Zhao Yongxu and the militia he led who fought **** on the front line. Thanks to them conquering one nest after another, today's Boulder City can be so peaceful. "

"I can't remember whether the number is 51 or 54. In short, it is very, very much. Counting the annihilated xenomorphs and evolutionary bodies, their results are too numerous to count! Praise the city master!"

"There is no big news today, and there is no major incident in the entire southern River Valley province... But you are all clamoring to hear about the situation in the north, so I'd better talk a little bit about it."

"Thanks to our plane, the hillbillies got away with it. But they seem to think it's their fault and are celebrating."

"Our observers saw them smearing blood on the windows and doors, leaving blood all over the house... what a bunch of rude guys!"

"If you have to go north, you'd better avoid them!"

The hoarse electric sound and the greasy voice were performed alone in the empty reception room.

And the outpost outside the reception room was full of lights and lights at the moment.

A grand celebration is going on.

A little announcer from far away in Boulder only guessed one-fifth of it, and people here aren't just celebrating hard-won victories.

is also celebrating the arrival of a great era.

From the square in front of the sanatorium to the commercial street at the north gate, a crowd of dark crowds gathered, and survivors from the northern suburbs gathered from all directions like a pilgrimage.

Some were just to pay homage to the honor of the manager himself, while others heard that there was a major event to be announced tonight, so they wisely grabbed a front seat early.

In addition to the local survivors, there are also some scavengers from other small and medium-sized survivor villages around to join in the fun, or traders and mercenaries from more distant areas.

Sun Shiqi was also in the crowd.

Looking at the crowd of people, his wide eyes were filled with surprise, and he could not wait to fall out of his sockets.

The northern suburbs have never had so many people.

More people have never been together before.

He still remembered that the last time he came here, it was not even a small village.

Not to mention the guards who were uniformly dressed and maintained order at the scene. At that time, they couldn't even find a few iron-barreled rifles, and they had to buy the small runner water pipes in Honghe Town!

So much so that Sun Shiqi at that time suspected that these blue coats were disguised by a group of refugees occupying magpie nests!

"It's incredible..."

Sun Shiqi, who was squeezed to the point of suffocation, kept chanting excitedly.

What a huge market this is!

"Yeah, it's incredible."

A familiar voice came from the side, Sun Shiqi looked sideways and saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Are you here too?"

Standing behind his brother Shuanglu, Shuanghe bent the corners of his mouth.

"My house is here, is it weird?"

When she said this, her voice was a little proud.

Sun Shiqi wanted to have a few words with the little girl, but found that the strong man standing in front of him was staring at him.

His eyes were clearly filled with suspicion.

The squeezed Sun Shiqi coughed dryly, and a harmless smile appeared on his face just now, but people have already been squeezed to other places.

The crowd gathered here is at least two or three thousand people.

And those local survivors who did not come to the scene also gathered in the town hall of Long Term Farm or the castle on Bette Street.

There is a "TV" made of VM screens.

Although the screen is not big, it is easier to see clearly than the crowded scene.

At this moment, in the square in the middle of the crowd.

Chu Guang, wearing a blue power armor, was standing on the third floor of the repaired nursing home, where there was an unsealed wall.

Usually Xiaoqi stands here.

If there is nothing else, Chu Guang will occasionally come up to stay with it for a while, and use the drone to see what the players are doing.

Although the outpost has been built in good shape, and the commercial street in the north has expanded all the way to the edge of the Niuma Brick Factory, only this sanatorium is still the same as when the server was first launched.

Lao Bai, who was standing in the crowd, looked up at the nursing home in front of him, his face full of nostalgia.

"I still made up the window on the second floor."

"What's the matter, I still built the wall on the first floor." The man under the knife laughed.

In the beginning, the construction captain was Lao Bai, but later he became a civil engineer, let alone a nursing home. He led the construction team to build more than half of the houses in the outpost.

Lao Bai laughed.

"It doesn't matter! I burned the bricks and cement!"

Ye Shi said helplessly.

"Do you even want to compare this?"

"That's right," Fang Chang glanced at them both, "Ye Shi thinks you two are naive."

Ye Shi suddenly jumped up like a rabbit whose tail had been trampled: "Fuck off! What do you mean by being naive?! The old man is jealous of my youth?"

Quit smoking: "Hahahahaha!"

Seeing Ye Shi, who was blushing and arguing, Gu Feng couldn't help but snorted, probably laughing.

The [Lonely Wolf of Doomsday] standing beside the gust of wind was looking at the power armor curiously. He was not curious about the celebration, but only curious about that thing.

"Is that thing really powered by nuclear fusion?"

Gu Feng glanced at him.

"Yes."

Lone Wolf glanced at Gu Feng in surprise.

"I thought you would be more curious than me."

Gu Feng did not answer this sentence, but Lone Wolf always felt that there was something in his expression.

Not far away, Rourou raised his tail and Sisi excitedly. The huge body was very conspicuous in the crowd, but both the aborigines and the players were not surprised by this big white bear.

I heard that it was awarded a medal by the administrator for transporting ammunition on the front line.

Whenever we talk about this anecdote, the aborigines can't help but feel that this is a good place full of tolerance. As long as they work hard enough, even bears can live like humans.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"Ooh, thank you Rou Rou! Rou Rou is awesome!"

"I see, I see! Oooh, this is too high!"

"Wait, where's Fujiteng? Why is Fujiteng gone?" Rourou looked around anxiously, but soon saw an excited face on Yaya's shoulder.

Take a human ladder.

The basic exercise of FPS games.

The only regret is that the model of this game is too realistic, the physical effects and collision volume are too real, and it is unstable to stand on the head of a teammate, and can only ride on the neck.

stretched his neck and looked forward. Fujito, who was usually very quiet, was very excited today and his mood was high.

After all, it was her own celebration!

This is much more fun than planning company team building activities!

"How long?"

"There are still two minutes...Yah, don't touch my hair, it's going to be messy!" Ya Ya looked around nervously.

I heard that there are drones around to shoot PV. As a commemorative video for the end of the A round of testing, all players who are online have footage.

This is your chance to get on the official CG!

Yaya deliberately changed into his favorite clothes.

She didn't want her hair in a mess.

It is five fifty-eight in the evening.

There are only two minutes left until the celebration begins.

Not only the aborigines waited eagerly, all players looked expectantly at the manager standing on the third floor and Xiao Qi beside him.

cutscenes CG!

B round test!

The new version of how to play!

Hurry up! -

(Thanks to the Silver League of "Lavochkin"!!!! The big guy is awesome! The title is more than 35 words, I tried several times and couldn't add T.T)
