Chapter 142 Why can't our kitchen make some Yangjian food?

  【Mission: Go to the Operation Camp】

  【Introduction: Sincerely thank you! Volunteers from Outpost 404! The reinforcements escorting you to the action camp have arrived at the north gate of the Wetland Park. We have prepared a warm camp for you ten kilometers away. Please come with us now! 】

  【Requirement: Follow the staff of the "Pioneer" to the operation camp and start the follow-up mission. 】

  【Reward: 10 activity points】

   The north gate of the outpost.

  The players who are ready to go have completed their assembly. They are not at all like laborers who are going to move bricks, but rather like going on an outing.

   The players who didn't get the qualifications all looked enviously. Especially after hearing these people say that they will get 10 points when they arrive at the destination, they are so envious and jealous that they are about to cry!

   "Opening a map gives you 10 points, is that reasonable?"

   "As soon as the expansion pack was launched, the gap was forcibly widened. Is this reasonable?"

   "Unreasonable! Too unreasonable!"

   "Call Planner Dad!"

  However, it is of no use.

   Those who are in the queue are the majority, and those who are not in the queue are the minority.

Fang Chang, who was standing in the European Emperor's team, said with a smile: "Brothers, don't panic, we will go to the front to explore the way for you! I will update the forum as soon as I have something good! Wait for you to come Then you don’t have to cross the river by feeling for the stones!”

  The fleeing mole in the canyon, who was not in line, immediately yelled when he heard this.

   "Hey! Are you embarrassed? I've touched all the stones by myself! By the way, don't you play the dungeon? The priority right to explore is seven days!"

  Fang Chang smiled: "What are you playing, how can there be a new map in the dungeon? Why don't you help me fight for three days?"

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Get lost!"

  In the distance, a pitch-black power armor appeared in the snow-covered forest, walking towards the north gate of the outpost.

  Walking outside the market at the north gate, Chu Guang held Captain Lu Yang's outstretched right hand, shook it and said with a smile.

   "My citizens please."

  Lu Yang solemnly and seriously promised.

   "I swear on my honor and credit score, I will guarantee the safety of each of them!"

   What Chu Guang actually wanted to say is that it doesn’t take that much force. If someone is accidentally killed, it’s okay, just pay the pension.

not much.

  1000CR is enough.

   But what is a credit score?

  At this time, the little players standing around noticed that the beggar’s armor set on their manager was gone, replaced by a very expensive exoskeleton. There is still a hammer hanging on his back, but there is a handsome rifle beside the hammer.

  Although there are too many elements, this is wasteland!

  Of course, what surprised them the most was that their manager actually changed equipment again!

   "My giao! You can see the manager's exoskeleton!"

   "Huh? When did he change his equipment?!"

   "Dude, Fallout 2077 has become Cyber ​​2077!"

"Look, you guys haven't seen the world. Didn't Brother Mole analyze it on the forum before? The NPCs in this game will increase with the player's game behavior! A wave of rational analysis must be due to our hard work on the task, That’s why the manager changed to a new skin!”

   "Yes! This game is too real!"

   "Brothers, work harder and try to make the manager wear power armor!"

"Awesome!"

  The captain was talking with the manager. Luo Hua, who was standing by and waiting to send them away, glanced at the unresponsive VM, and said with a sad face.

   "Why does this translation function work sometimes and sometimes not?"

  Ace: "…"

  Luo Hua: "Hey, what do you think they are talking about?"

  Ace: "…"

  Luo Hua: "Aren't you curious at all? Well, if I didn't ask... I'll boil some water and soak the freeze-dried food in a while."

  Ace: "I want corn."

  Luo Hua: "..."

   Sending Captain Lu Yang and the players away, Chu Guang waved his hand towards their backs, and suddenly noticed Luo Hua who couldn't stop talking not far away.

   This guy looks like the type who can't control his mouth.

   With a slight movement in his heart, Chu Guang suddenly thought of an idea.

  However, it's still too early, far from time to eat. He still has something to do in a while, so we can talk about it when he comes back in the evening.

  …

   Marching in the wilderness, it takes about 200 minutes to walk 10 kilometers, and the road conditions are slightly easier than walking in the city.

  In order to clear the snow on the road for the residents of the refuge, Lu Yang also brought an off-road vehicle with him, installed a snow shovel on the front of the bumper, and drove in front to clear the snow on the road.

  The morale of these refuge residents is quite high, and their physical fitness is also very strong. At first, Lu Yang was worried about whether they would be tired, but later found that his worry was purely unnecessary.

   It took 200 minutes to travel, but it took 2 hours.

  Before ten o'clock in the morning, the group arrived near the land fortress "Pioneer".

  Looking at the four mountain-like steel fortresses connected to each other, many players showed expressions of surprise and even excitement on their faces.

  The wide and huge body is located on the wasteland, behind the majestic crawlers are ravines extending to the horizon, with no end in sight.

   Regardless of vegetation or towering trees, whether it is a fragmented road or a deserted country house, there is a pool of gravel and rubble at its feet.

  There is no road ahead of it.

  Walking is the way.

  Looking up at the majestic fortress, [Knife Keeping People Under the Sword], who is a civil dog, raised his head and opened his eyes wide like the other players next to him.

  In the face of such a magnificent engineering miracle, he only felt like a small primitive man, looking up at an unheard of miracle.

  Even though people keep reminding me that this is just a game, the immersive shock is not fake at all.

  Adam's apple moved for a long time, and he only squeezed out two words from his mouth.

   "I rely on..."

   This is too shocking!

  Ye Shi, who was standing not far from him, also raised his head and said "I rely on you" at this moment. However, the shock he felt was completely different from that felt by the knife left.

   "...This expansion pack is too conscientious!"

   It is really rare to see good things in the beta stage.

   Players follow the NPC to move on.

When they arrived at the operation camp next to the "Pioneer", they happened to see the huge land fortress unfolding a structure like a gantry crane, using a mechanical cantilever to remove a container-like module from its body, and deploying it on a distance from the steel On the open space of about five meters from the platform.

   Dust billows.

  The staff member in the gray coat stepped forward, pulled out an arm-thick pipeline from the side of the fortress platform, connected it to the module just deployed on the ground, and then entered the parameters on the touch screen.

   Power input.

  The equipment started to work, but there was only a buzzing sound, and it was unknown what was being produced inside.

  The two survivors who were assistants who followed Old Luca opened their eyes wide and exchanged shocking glances with each other.

"what is that?"

"Production workshop," happened to hear the conversation between the two, and Captain Lu Yang smiled and said, "That should be a carbon dioxide trap, which produces starch and glucose. We will also deploy a plant to produce long-chain alkanes and alkenes in a while." .The last place to put down is the production workshop for melting alloys and cutting processing."

   "However, there is no rush. We can continue to deploy after your people rest and start!"

  Deploying this kind of modular production workshop will raise a lot of dust, and they will try to choose when there are few people in the operation camp for construction.

  The two natives next to them looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand what the man dressed like a tin can was saying, and they didn't understand why they had to wait for them to set off before continuing to deploy.

  Old Luca understood a little bit, but he only understood the second half.

   As for CO2 traps, long chain alkanes, alkenes, etc...

   Treat it as some kind of hard-to-find trash.

  …

  The action camp where the players are stationed is next to the action fortress, less than a hundred meters away.

   All of the barracks were "sprayed" with heat activated polymer so they were built in just one night.

  These houses look like concrete from a distance, and feel like plastic. Although the texture is light, they are not bad at all, and they are quite warm and have good sound insulation.

There are 5 rows of barracks. The structure and layout are very similar to the prefabricated houses on the construction site. They are divided into upper and lower floors, with 22 single rooms on each floor. The table is more than enough, and it is larger than the room in the shelter.

   In addition, there is a public bathroom and toilet in the center of the barracks, which are divided into men and women, and the second floor is a water tank for water storage.

  Counting the public area in the middle, the entire camp covers an area of ​​15 acres, which is equivalent to a playground with a 400-meter runway.

   There are two quadrotor drones and two remote-controlled all-terrain crawler vehicles patrolling the perimeter of the camp, responsible for clearing approaching predators or other threats.

  Meeting Li De at the gate of the barracks, Luka's expression was a little cautious, but he still straightened his back when he thought that he was representing the manager.

"Dear Sir, I am Luca from Vault 404. I would like to extend my sincerest greetings to you on behalf of my master. During the cooperation period, I will be in charge of contacting the residents of the Vault. If you have any needs , can be conveyed through me.”

  Although it was a little strange that the title of master appeared in the shelter, Li De didn't say anything.

  The east coast is not without slaves. The lower-level employees of some companies are employed in name, but they are no different from slaves. If they don’t work, they will be cleared out of the employee dormitory soon, and once they are cleared out, it means death.

  Of course, the benefits of middle-level employees are still acceptable, let alone at his level.

   In order to prepare for this first pioneering corps, the Silver Wing Group spent a lot of money. Their living standards are almost the same as when they were on the east coast, and even better than when they were there.

  The only fly in the ointment is that it is a little far away from home.

  Looking at Old Luca, Li De nodded.

   "I have already learned about the situation from the liaison officer. The next work arrangement will be arranged by my colleagues with you."

   As he spoke, the man standing next to Li De smiled and stretched out his right hand.

   "Hi, my name is Werther! It's a pleasure working with you!"

  Old Luca quickly held his hand and shook it.

   "Hello! My name is Luca..."

"I heard it just now, take it easy, I also came out of the shelter, but it's been a few years. You can treat this place as your own home, and you can contact me if you have any questions." Witt squeezed his eyebrows, looking like He's a funny guy.

   "Okay, I'll leave this to you, and I have to rush our engineers."

   Li De patted Werther on the shoulder, then nodded to Old Luka, and then left with Captain Lujan on the side.

  Old Luca's expression was a little reserved.

  He wanted to say that although he was carrying a VM, he didn't actually come out of the shelter, but he felt that saying that seemed redundant.

  But Werther didn't care. He took out a folding computer from his pocket skillfully, opened the flexible screen sandwiched in the middle, and began to hand over the mobile barracks that had just been constructed to him.

"To make a long story short, this operational camp is now yours. During the cooperation period, we will be responsible for your safety, and our water truck will deliver water to you for free. There are plumbing pipes in the barracks, which are connected to the boilers of the central functional facilities of the camp. , It’s very easy to use, just boil the water, and the waste heat can be used to heat the water for bathing. But we are only responsible for delivering water, as for burning water with wood or coal, I’m afraid you have to figure out a way.”

"But this is also easy to solve. The most indispensable thing in the vicinity is wood. If you walk to the west, there is a forest. But I suggest you try to collect as much as possible to the east. Our fortress has bulldozed a lot of wood along the way here. Just recycle it and use it.”

"Also, it's today's job. Our scouts found an underground garage in the community hospital in the abandoned town in the north. There are about 2,000 car wrecks with high recovery value parked in it. We need to remove their frames, doors, The wheels and the hood and the suspension...everything that can be recycled.”

"Our marines cleaned up the alien species there. Your job is to use the equipment we provide to cut and disassemble the recyclable parts of the vehicle, and then press the dismantled parts into cubes with a press, and install them on our transport truck."

"Due to the terrain, our transport vehicles can't go deep into the urban area. The road conditions there are too bad. You will know when you go there. In short, it is about 800 meters from the community hospital to the resource point. I'm afraid you will have to use a trolley for this distance human transport."

"That's all about the work. If there are new arrangements, I will notify you. It's 10:15, you can settle your people first. We will leave on time at 12:00 noon and return at 6:00 p.m. There is no time to eat during the period, you'd better prepare dry food."

   "If you need to buy supplies, you can count them to me. You now have a budget of 600CR, and today's reward will be settled at 12 o'clock in the morning."

  Luka nodded.

"no problem."

  …

   The players quickly allocated rooms.

   After the cooking utensils were delivered, Luca immediately released a task on VM, recruited several life professional players, set up a large pot in the middle of the barracks, and started cooking.

  At this time, the water truck responsible for delivering water just drove over, using a pressure pump and a water pipe to inject water into the water tank in the center of the camp.

   While filling the water tank, two drivers from the logistics department took two buckets of freeze-dried food from the car and poured boiling water into them.

   This kind of food is very convenient. It can be eaten after soaking in boiling water. It contains carbohydrates, protein and vitamins. It is hygienic and nutritious to eat, and there are five flavors to choose from.

  Generally, if they still have work to do in the afternoon and are too lazy to take the elevator back to the fort, they will use this thing for a meal.

  In fact, they heard before that the logistics department originally planned to deploy mobile kitchens on the ground, but the residents of these shelters actually refused, saying that it would be better to send them money directly.

   I really don't know what these blue coats are thinking!

  In short, after hearing that the allies expressed that they wanted to cook for themselves, their stingy boss canceled the plan to deploy a mobile kitchen.

   After all, most of the time, their people eat in the fortress, and only rarely come out to be on duty.

  It’s really not worth putting a big guy down to cook for the lunch of a few people, so it’s better to send some money.

   Leaning against the door of the waterwheel.

   The two drivers looked at the shelter residents who were setting up big pots for cooking, while waiting for the freeze-dried food to boil, they chatted one after another.

   "What are they doing?"

   "Looks like you're peeling a potato? Is that a potato?"

   "I heard it's called a croissant, probably a mutated potato...Look, they started boiling water."

   "Wood fire to cook? It's primitive enough, let's use an electric stove. But then again, why don't they just throw the potatoes in the pot instead of putting them on top of the pot?"

   "Maybe I want to cook the potatoes with water steam... I suddenly became a little curious, can the food made in this way be delicious?"

  The two suddenly looked at each other tacitly, and said in unison.

   "I'll change it with them." X2

  …

   There was a long queue at the camp.

   The scrambled eggs with tomatoes stood in front of the pot and shouted.

   "One per person, everyone has it, don't jump in line and don't panic! We are all the European emperors who are the first to experience the expansion pack! Don't let the sand sculptures of OB in the forum see the joke."

  Finally, the queue was up, WC really had a mosquito holding a lunch box, and was moved to tears.

   "I miss you so much! It's been a long time since I've had a big pot of rice made with tomato scrambled eggs!"

  Ye Shi, who had just received his share, also sighed.

   "Hey, nostalgia +1, which version did it start from, and our respected manager doesn't care about food?"

  WC really has a mosquito holding a lunch box and talking.

"I remember! After the currency system was made in Alpha0.3 version, you have to spend money to buy food! Thinking about it, I really miss it. At that time, everyone didn't know how to cook, so they bought a potato and squatted on the square to hold it. !"

   "Yes, yes, yes, haha, I remembered! Later, after the north gate market was marked out, only life professional players ran over to sell stews."

   "Unfortunately, Boss Crow will not sell mushrooms that can see villains."

   "Speaking of which, Mr. Yabo?"

   "I guess she didn't grab it, she never caught up with good things."

  At this time, two NPCs wearing gray coats came over, they seemed to be the two who drove the water truck just now.

"Hey."

  One of them raised his hand and greeted him friendly.

   Mosquito and Ye Shi glanced at each other, then at the two of them.

   "What are you doing?"

  One of the NPCs pointed to the bowl of uneaten lunch box in Ye Shi's hand, and then pointed to the bucket of "instant noodles" in his hand, and said something.

  Although I can’t understand, the body language can be understood even by monkeys, plus the expression and tone of voice, basically there is no problem at all.

   Mosquito: "He seems to want to exchange with us?"

  Ye Shi: "Should I change it?"

  Mosquito: "Nonsense, change it! Why not change it? Try their food."

  Ye Shi's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

  The two players happily handed the lunch boxes in their hands to the two NPCs driving the water truck, and then took the instant noodles in their hands.

   Thanked each other in their own languages, and the two NPCs quickly slipped away.

  Ye Shi and Mosquito ignored them and couldn't wait to lift the lid of the instant noodles.

   "Let me see what's inside?"

   "Instant noodles? It seems not?"

   "Damn! How many dried vegetables did they put in it? What are these things?"

   "Seriously suspect that they mixed noodles with freeze-dried vegetables!"

   "But it smells pretty good."

   "Brother Chaodan's mashed potatoes are delicious! Hey, it's a pity, Fujito is not here. Since Brother Chaodan stopped cooking and became a butcher, she hasn't eaten it for a long time, right?"

   After receiving the lunch box from the two shelter residents, the two NPCs disassembled it like a treasure, and awkwardly dug a lump of mashed potato with a wooden spoon and stuffed it into their mouths. Surprised expressions appeared on their faces.

"this is not bad!"

"Not bad!"

   "Mashed croissants and mixed into soy sauce and minced meat? This taste is a bit like potatoes, but it doesn't look like it. It's amazing."

   "This stew is also howling! What kind of meat is it?"

   "Never mind it! Anyway, it's much stronger than plant meat!"

  The two of them wolfed down the meal, with expressions on their faces that were still unsatisfied.

Returned the lunch box to the refuge residents, they looked at each other, immediately reached a consensus, quickly went back to get another two buckets of instant noodles, excitedly found the refuge residents who had just received the lunch box, gestured with the same gestures as before, trying to The lunch boxes in their hands flickered over.

   It was the first time for the players to see such a strange thing, and they never thought of rejecting it, and decisively handed the lunch box in their hands to the NPC.

   Gobbled up the food again, and the two NPCs finally went back to the water truck with satisfaction this time, and drove the long-empty water truck back to the garage next to the "Pioneer" outside the camp.

   “It’s been so long since I’ve been away from the East Coast, this is the first time I’ve had such delicious food!”

   "Me too! Compared with that croissant mash, those dried vegetables are nothing but rubbish! Tui!"

   "Agreed! Why can't our kitchen cook some Yangjian food? Is it difficult to upgrade the program? We can obviously grow potatoes!"

  As he was counting the supplies that were about to be handed over to Shelter No. 404, Li De happened to hear the conversation between the two who came out of the garage, and his expression was slightly stunned.

  Mashed croissants?

  Dried vegetables are garbage?

  What are these two idiots talking about.
