Chapter 192 The new exit of the Vault and the tunnel that does not exist on the map

  The raw materials are readily available in the warehouse. The power source comes with a variable adapter, which can be powered by a generator or inserted into a fusion battery with a standard interface.

   Like the black box that Chu Guang got from the manager's office in Vault 117, the black box here also has its own battery, and the remaining power is 98% and 99%.

  Helium III is a stable isotope with a very long half-life, and the loss caused by natural decay can almost be ignored under normal use. Basically, as long as the battery itself is not damaged due to improper operation or other reasons, the energy storage will be much longer than that of conventional chemical batteries.

  Chu Guang instructed Guo Niu through the VM to send him all the materials he needed, and by the way, he also called in Dr. Yin Fang, the chief prospector of Vault 404 and the head of the scientific expedition.

   As soon as he entered the door, Yin Fang's eyeballs almost fell out.

   "Black box?! And two! Where did you get it?"

  S-Class Relic!

   Two appeared at the same time!

   Just the day before yesterday, Chu Guang got a black box, but I didn't expect it to be three days before he got two more.

   Since graduating and becoming a prospector, Yin Fang has been archaeological ruins of pre-war civilization for five or six years. This is the first time I have seen such an exaggerated situation!

   Seeing this guy's ignorant expression, Chu Guang rolled his eyes and threw the manual he just picked up into his hand.

   "I picked it up, can you see if it will work?"

  Yin Fang smiled.

   "A fool can use this thing... By the way, have you checked the fuel in the reactor? How much is left?"

   "A lot of surprises, maybe 40%."

What is the concept of   40% Chu Guang is not very clear, if it is a mobile phone, his obsessive-compulsive disorder must have committed, but a controllable fusion reactor, it is said that 1% of the energy can be used for a long time?

   I don’t know how much energy is consumed for the synthesis of clones.

   But no matter what, the reactor is now in his hands, and the stone hanging in Chu Guang's heart has finally been released.

   Hearing Chu Guang's words, Yin Fang was obviously relieved.

   "40%? That's good...don't worry about it in a short time!"

   With no worries, Yin Fang began to operate two black boxes.

  In the stuffing opening like the drawer, input the materials in sequence according to the instructions, and then close the drawer. It's okay to do it out of sequence, but it's a little faster to do so.

The    signal light is on, indicating that the material is qualified.

   Then turn on the power and press the start button.

  All processes are completed, very easy.

   is as simple as some kind of religious ritual.

   Looking at the numbers beating on the screen, Chu Guang touched his chin.

   "The remaining production time is 59min27s...How long did you wait?"

Next to    is another small black box that produces VMs. The production speed is faster, and it only takes ten minutes to manufacture a product.

   Assuming a constant supply of raw materials, theoretically 144 VMs can be produced a day.

  This thing is a good thing.

  The VM with processor, imaging equipment, and laser mapping functions can not only be used as a "vital sign monitor" itself, but can also be used to modify it into other things.

   For example, robots with laser mapping and automatic pathfinding.

   Another example is a simple computer and so on.

  Combined with the "neural connection device" produced by Dr. Principle in the black box of Vault 117, as long as the materials are sufficient, the player's transformation degree can be directly increased by 10%!

  Intelligence players will usher in a real spring!

   can be said to be very useful.

Yin Fang: "I heard that the working principle of the black box is to powder the material first, and then follow the preset synthesis route to print out the parts of each component in sequence according to the spatial sequence, and generate the product as a whole... Compared with the pipeline mode , it will definitely take longer."

  Chu Guang said.

   "Equivalent to building a wheel and an engine at the same time?"

   Yin Fang affirmed.

   "That's understandable!"

  Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully, expressing his understanding.

  This thing is like a 3D printer.

However, its function is much stronger than that of 3D printers. It can not only print out the shape of the device, but also print out the "performance" of the material, as well as the microstructure and macrostructure of the device, and complete it during the printing process. Automatic assembly.

   This goes far beyond the concept of "printing".

   is more like a reconstruction of "atoms in pm-scale space"!

   Xia Yan, who was standing by the side, scratched the back of her head, she couldn't talk about such a troublesome topic at all.

   She can repair machines with a wrench, or use a simple workbench to process parts. After all, the slums of Boulder City are built next to the industrial area. There are only two ways for people there, either to work to death in the assembly line or workshop, or to become a mercenary with weapons produced by the factory and exchange their lives for money.

   And she happened to go both ways.

   After thinking about it, Xia Yan felt that if he didn't say a word, he would appear useless, so after holding it for a while, he reluctantly interjected.

   "This machine sounds weird and easy to use... Can you take it apart and take a look?"

   Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang didn't react, but Yin Fang next to him was startled like a dog whose tail was stepped on, and said quickly.

   "You must not do this!"

  Xia Yan scratched the back of his head and asked, "Why? Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of thing be a good research material?"

   Hearing the layman's speech, Yin Fang shook his head and said.

"A common sense, the more technology-intensive a product is, the more difficult it is to reverse it. To find a grain of gold in a pile of sand, you just need to sift it out. But if you are standing on a dune and classifying every grain of sand Recycling, it's an almost impossible job...unless you've got more advanced tools and methods."

"And the black box of the Ark Project, whether in production methods or technical principles, represents the highest level of human-connected manufacturing, and it has no requirements for the performance of materials and the education level of operators - even the level of intelligence, even if Even the monkeys in the zoo can use it.”

"This kind of wishing machine can be said to be the technological crystallization of pre-war civilization. Unless the production method and basic science are far superior to our civilization, no one can disassemble what they need from this complex and cumbersome equipment. "

   Xia Yan muttered.

   "I just asked casually, but I didn't say it was really going to be dismantled... But this thing is so hard to handle, if it's broken, how should it be repaired?"

"If it can't be repaired, it will be broken," Yin Fang shook his head and said, "In the academy, the broken black box will usually be sent to the museum. Maybe someone will be able to analyze it in a few hundred years... But at least it's impossible now. .We would rather study the products produced in the black box, at least it will be much less difficult.”

   Yin Fang's answer answered some of Chu Guang's questions.

   It seems that even the academy does not have the ability to disassemble the technology in the black box, and at most it only studies the products of the black box.

   One last glance at the timer on the screen, Chu Guang said.

   "Looks like there's still a little time before the mystery is revealed... Let's go check the buffer room next door."

  Yin Fang was stunned.

   "Buffer room? Isn't this the B3 floor?"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "That's right, Vault 404 doesn't have only one door. I even suspect that the door on the B3 floor is the real entrance."

  From a spatial point of view, the gate on the B3 floor is obviously wider than the gate on the B1 floor, and it connects the warehouse and the planting area.

This shows what?

   Explain that this shelter is likely to be built from the B3 floor, and then extend up and down at the same time!

   Of course, this is just Chu Guang's speculation. If he finds other more exaggerated exits on the lower floors, he doesn't say it.

   Every time Chu Guang thinks that he has fully understood the plan of this shelter and the first generation of managers, the shelter under his feet can always bring him unexpected surprises.

  Chu Guang even suspected that the designer of this shelter might be a gamer.

  …

  Everything outside the gate on the B3 floor is unknown, and no one can say what will happen.

  If the situation is optimistic, it may be an Easter egg left by the first-generation manager.

If    is not optimistic, it may also be a litter of mutant mice or cockroaches.

Just in case, Chu Guang brought the power armor from the preparation room on the B1 floor, and while bringing the nitrogen power hammer and Gauss rifle, he also took two sickle assault rifles, a bulletproof vest and a Backpack stuffed with 7mm bullets.

   The body armor is for Boss Xia.

   Returning to the preparation room on the B3 floor, Chu Guang threw a sickle assault rifle and a police body armor into Xia Yan's hands.

   "I shouldn't have to teach you how to use it."

   Putting the body armor on, Xia Yan tied the long red hair into a ponytail and picked up the rifle leaning against the wall.

   "Are you kidding me? I'm..."

   "The mercenary who added a chicken leg to the crawler's lunch box?"

   Looking at Xia Yan's murderous face, Chu Guang hurriedly closed his mask and walked in front with a cough.

   "Follow me."

   Xiaoqi rolled the pulley and followed behind Chu Guang.

  Yin Fang saw that he had no weapons, so he hurriedly chased after him and asked.

   "What about me? Give me a weapon too! In case of an accident, I can fight!"

  Chu Guang thought for a while and threw the Silver Snake revolver hanging on the power armor to him.

   "Remember to give me back."

   "Just six bullets?!"

   "I'll give you more if needed."

   The gate on the console was pulled down, and Chu Guang pressed the red button.

   The alarm bell in the maintenance room rang three times.

   The door bolts as thick as thighs were retracted one by one, and the gear-shaped alloy door slowly rolled to one side, revealing the dark tunnel.

  The cold and dry breath came.

  Chu Guang turned on the searchlight on his shoulder and walked forward with the "Scythe" assault rifle.

   The soles of the feet squeaked on the ground. The dust here is thick, and no one has been here for a long time.

The light in the    channel is very dim, which can be described as invisible.

   Fortunately, there are lighting equipment on the power armor, and the other two also carry torches.

   With the light from his shoulders, Chu Guang could see a steel rail laid on the ground and a few construction tools scattered around.

"There is no such tunnel on the map," Yin Fang checked the map through the VM, and then said, "Our due south is opposite to Qingquan City's Metro Line 12, and the straight-line distance is about 4 kilometers! Out of the city, the elevated road overlaps and faces the outside of Qingquan City.”

   Line 12 runs through Qingquan City from north to south, and Huayuan Street Subway Station is one of the stops on Line 12.

  Chu Guang raised his index finger, tapped on the side of the helmet, and opened the map on the eyepiece.

The    orange window is projected on the tactical eyepiece.

  The nearest subway station is located near Bate Street, about 800 meters away.

   Chu Guang had been there before, but he didn't go in. He just took a look outside, and the inside was completely occupied by gnaws.

  80% have other difficult things to deal with.

   "What if you go north?"

  Yin Fang was slightly taken aback and dragged the map.

   "North... We are in the northernmost part of Qingquan City, and further north is outside Qingquan City. The subway line is not marked on the map."

The    tunnel runs from north to south. The exit of the shelter is located on the side of the tunnel. After passing through the iron gate, there is a way to go south to north.

   "Let's go to the north and have a look first."

After    finished speaking, Chu Guang took the initiative to walk in front and led the team to the north.

   After about 800 meters, the tunnel stopped abruptly, and an alloy wall stopped in front of everyone.

   "There seems to be no road ahead," Xia Yan, who was shining a flashlight forward, turned to look at Chu Guang, and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

  Chu Guang stared at the wall for a while, then walked to the side of the wall and found something like a power distribution box.

   Pulled open the cover, and he saw a handle and a circular port.

  What's interesting is that the circular interface just matches the small cold fusion battery.

  Chu Guang moved slightly in his heart, took out a cold fusion battery with 11% remaining energy from his pocket, and plugged it into the interface.

   Then, he pulled down the handle next to him.

   A slight electric current sounded, accompanied by a sour fricative sound, followed by a slight tremor at the feet of everyone.

  Like an earthquake!

"what's the situation?!"

  Yin Fang looked around in panic and took two steps back.

  Xia Yan was relatively calm, he glanced at the ceiling alertly, then looked forward again, his eyes widened slightly.

   "It's the wall! It's sinking!"

  Xiaoqi slipped to Chu Guang's calf and said nervously, "Master, it's very dangerous here, why don't we go back first?"

   "No hurry, just wait!"

  Chu Guang stared at the wall in front of him.

   I saw it sinking slowly, and after a while of shaking, the tunnel behind it was finally exposed.

   At this time, everyone discovered that the wall was hundreds of meters wide!

   It's like a whole raised tunnel!

   "Unbelievable..." Yin Fang took two steps forward with a shocked expression on his face.

   Such a thick concrete structure.

   To say the least, it has to be tens of thousands of tons, right?

   Including the mechanical structure and the load-bearing structure below, it is almost equivalent to burying an aircraft carrier in the ground!

The metaphor    may be inappropriate, but the meaning is the same.

  Chu Guang also had a surprised expression on his face.

   The mechanism itself is nothing complicated.

   However, it's amazing that today, more than 200 years later, it is still up and running without any obstacles!

   Just when the two were stunned, hoarse roars and running sounds came from the front of the tunnel.

   Hearing the sound, Xia Yan was startled, immediately raised the assault rifle in his hand, and opened the insurance with his index finger neatly.

   "Nibbler! Ahead of us!"

Before the    voice could be heard, she had already pulled the trigger in her hand, killing the nearest two with three shots.

   "It seems that the movement just now attracted a lot of attention."

   Turned on the auxiliary aiming mode of the tactical eyepiece, raised Chu Guang, who was aiming at the assault rifle with his sickle, and swept over with a shuttle. The few gnaws closest to him instantly burst into heads, and fell to the ground and died on the spot!

   At this moment, a dangerous omen suddenly struck.

   "Damn, it's a creeper—" A trace of panic appeared on Xia Yan's face, and the memory of fear in his heart resurfaced.

   But in the next instant, the crawler's head was blown to pieces.

   "Don't panic, I'm here."

   Throwing the Gauss rifle on his back, Chu Guang, who held the scythe assault rifle again, skillfully switched back to automatic fire, and swept the several gnaws that rushed up to the ground.

   A stump of branches and broken arms on the ground.

  The rotten stench spreads through the passage.

   Yin Fang, who was hiding behind, heaved a sigh of relief and lowered the raised muzzle.

   Looking at the gnawing on the ground, and the dark spots and slime molds on the far wall, his Adam's apple moved with difficulty.

   "I have a hunch... I'm afraid there are quite a few aliens ahead!"

   "This doesn't require a hunch, as long as you have eyes to see," Chu Guang continued after a moment's pause, "Let's leave the area ahead to the 'players' to explore."

   After saying that, Chu Guang put away the rifle, tapped his index finger on the helmet twice, called up the visualization window, and edited it skillfully.

  【Task: Clear the exit of B3 floor】

  【Type: Hunting, Exploration, Tackling】

  【Explanation: The passage outside the entrance and exit of the B3 floor is occupied by the slime mold xenogeneic species, we have to take it back from the hands of those beasts! 】

   [targets: hunters, scavengers, soldiers, and players with a level greater than LV5]

【award:

   For every gnaw killed, 1 silver coin and 2 contribution will be awarded.

   For each kill of a martyr, 1 silver coin and 1 contribution will be awarded.

   Every time you kill a creeper, you will be rewarded with 20 credits and 20 contributions.

   For every tyrant killed...

  …

  】

  ——

  【Task: Explore the B3 layer channel. 】

  ——

  【Task: Investigate the source of slime mold contamination in the channel on the B3 floor. 】

  …

   A total of 5 tasks have been updated in the task channel, and players who meet the "release target" conditions can freely receive them.

  This should be a good leveling spot.

   Even 10,000 eaters are only 10,000 silver coins.

  Even if you add 500 creepers, it’s just another 10,000 silver coins.

   In this way, players not only gain experience, but also improve their proficiency in shooting, archery, throwing, and fighting skills, and can also earn money.

   is simply perfect!

  If you can get an active substance extractor, you can also deploy one here.

   The extraction efficiency of gnaws is average, and 10 of them can only make 1 unit. However, no matter how small mosquitoes are, they are still meat, and they add up to a lot of money. It is better than letting the bodies of those alien species rot and stink in the tunnel, becoming a breeding ground for germs.

   And what you need to pay is just some values ​​that can be adjusted at any time.

  Thinking of this, the corner of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but twitch into a smile.

  Because the benefits are all the players.

   This wave even if the players win twice!

   glanced at Chu Guang in admiration, Yin Fang couldn't help but sigh.

   "Your 'players' are also very useful."

   is simply a model of hard work.

   He had never seen such a hardworking shelter dweller!

  Chu Guang joked.

   "It seems that you have gradually grasped the essence of this game."

   Hearing a word that he did not understand, Yin Fang was stunned.

   "youxi?"

   "Combined with contextual free translation, it means cutting leeks."

  Yin Fang: "...?"
