Chapter 195 Another batch of fresh leeks is online

  North of Linghu Wetland Park.

   An abandoned tire factory located in the ruins.

  This was once the lair of the Bloody Hand clan, and with the destruction of the Bloody Hand clan, it was once occupied by cockroaches and rats.

  Recently, due to the expansion of the activity area of ​​the residents of Vault 404, this structurally sound factory building has been reused.

  With the efforts of countless new players, all the alien species that nested here were expelled, and NPCs set up guard posts in the surrounding high-rise buildings. But now it has become the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost, and all the light and heavy industries that were crowded on the south side of the sanatorium have been relocated here.

   This includes No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, which was born in a professional class.

   Also includes goblin tech born by Yeluzi.

Although the generous manager finally agreed to keep his hut on the south side of the outpost under the soft and hard pausing of Brother Mosquito, but the production activities involving chemicals, flammable and explosive products in the future must start from the resurrection point. Moved nearby, moved here.

   It's not that Chu Guang targeted him, but mainly because too many people complained.

   This guy randomly tested weapons in the forest outside the base, either scaring away the fish in the lake, or accidentally igniting the pine and cypress trees outside the base. In the past month or so, people have come to Chu Guang to protest more than once, hoping that he can restrain the behavior of mosquitoes a little bit.

  Chu Guang believes that Brother Mosquito didn’t do this on purpose, but let him continue to toss like this, to be honest, Chu Guang himself feels a little guilty.

  These problems don’t exist at the former site of the tire factory. First of all, it is a full 5 kilometers away from the outpost, and there is an abandoned and uninhabited city in the southeast, northwest and north.

   There are enough xenomorphs there, which can be used for him to test the power of the weapon.

  From now on, Brother Mosquito no longer has to take the risk of being thrown into the lake by angry anglers, and secretly fire cannons and rockets on the lake!

All in all, under the plan of the wise and powerful manager, the northern industrial area will use steel and coal as the pillar industries, producing seamless steel pipes of various calibers, bullets, stamping receivers, and other manufacturing products. On this basis, use your creativity to build more cheap and useful things.

   There are usually no scavengers near the predator's lair, and the nearby area is rich in recyclable resources. Even if there are occasional shortages of stock, you can hire scavengers to get local materials.

  The most important thing is that this is near the elevated road out of the city. As long as the obstacles on the road and the vegetation along the way are cleared, and the road surface is slightly repaired, the truck can even drive directly to the factory gate along the side road under the elevated road!

   Regardless of the advantages in terms of transportation or resources, this place is much stronger than the outpost located in the wetland park.

   It is simply the gospel of industrial players!

  The original "truck-accessible" workshop with air-dried meat of unknown composition hung, has now been transformed into the new site of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

  A circular hole was cut out on the top of the factory building, and a tall chimney made of red bricks was drilled out of the hole.

   It's like a torch.

   On the ruins of this civilization, a small but firm light ignited.

  …

  In the workshop of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

  The blast furnace is filled with hot molten iron.

  Sweat was all over his hot neck. Li Niu unbuttoned his coat and fanned his palms to pour wind into his neck.

   "Today's fire seems to be twice as strong as yesterday. Is it my illusion?"

  If it wasn't for the two foremen wearing VMs to refuse, he even wanted to take off the steel helmet with the fur lining on top of his head.

   Standing next to him was a neighbor in the same town, Wu Dahe from the old Wu's house next door. Their family is a blacksmith, but there is no business in winter, and there are very few opportunities to open.

  Before recruiting workers, the two sons of the old Wu family came in. The older one worked as a furnace front worker like him, and also did some odd jobs at the same time, while the younger one was selected to be a stick maker, operating the rolls for hot rolling under the guidance of Blue Coat. Occasionally, a hammer is needed to knock some small parts, but this is not the case.

   "The foreman said that a new batch of funds has arrived in the factory. The factory manager plans to add boron to the blast furnace and try to make 50B steel... It is said that it is used to make gun barrels."

   Li Niu looked curious.

   "What is boron?"

  Wu Dahe took out a small stone from his pocket, shook it in front of him, and put it back again.

"On this small black stone, it is said that adding only a small amount can greatly increase the strength of steel, but the amount must be controlled, not too much... I don't really understand, anyway, this kind of complicated thing, blue The jackets will take care of it, just do what they say."

   Li Niu nodded with a half understanding, and asked again after a while.

   "What is No. 50B steel?"

  Wu Dahe shook his head like a rattle, and repeated the sentence just now.

   "I don't know, anyway, just do what they say."

   Li Niu was speechless.

  Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he took it down as an experience in his heart.

  With the addition of boron, the steel will be more durable, but only a little can be added, not too much.

  But soon, other confusions arose in his heart.

  How much can you add?

   Also, the steel mentioned here is all steel?

   Or is it limited to certain types?

  After all, the steelmaking method in the factory is very strange. Sometimes tungsten is added, sometimes chromium and nickel are added, and sometimes silicon is added. Depending on the materials used, the uses of steel are also different. Some are sent to make gun barrels, some are used to make receivers, and some are used to make bicycle frames.

  The blacksmiths on Beit Street are not so troublesome to forge iron. At most, they can add some carbon, and the forged tools are as good as they are, strong and durable.

   I heard that smart blacksmiths also specialize in recycling steel from scrap car racks, especially the ones parked in indoor garages.

  Those materials are reforged and forged steel, which will be much more durable than ordinary steel.

Li Niu is not a blacksmith. Before coming here, he was just a scavenger living in Beit Street. He would occasionally go out hunting with Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, because he could always find a wild boar's nest... Although he I can't even explain why.

  As for why it is here.

   That's a long story.

A week ago, the outpost industrial zone was relocated. Old Charlie posted a notice on the square, requesting to recruit 5 to 10 strong workers aged between 16 and 35 to help. 1 silver coin salary.

  In the street office store on Beit Street, 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 1 kg of green wheat or croissants, and can also be exchanged for 50g of salt.

  Where do you usually meet such a good thing?

  In such a cold day, there was nothing to do. Hearing that he could save some food for his family, Li Niu signed up without saying a word.

   As for whether to give chips or silver coins, not many people care about it recently.

  The caravans in Boulder City haven’t been here since winter. For the survivors here, what they can get in exchange for food and useful things is money.

The work of factory relocation is not very strenuous. We only need to transport some large and small things out of the forest with a trailer, load the truck at the north gate of the park, and then follow the truck to the abandoned tire factory in the north. Just remove it.

  The abandoned tire factory used to be the stronghold of the Bloody Hand clan. Many residents of Beit Street were afraid of approaching it, but Li Niu was not afraid.

  The Bloody Hand clan has been wiped out, and the flag of Vault 404 is flying on the roof of the factory building.

  He often followed Yu Hu to visit the outposts, and he knew very well that those blue coats were very good people.

   And the fact is indeed the case, the relocation work lasted for three full days, not only was there meat in every meal, but also enough to eat.

   If not all the work is done, Li Niu even wants to stay here forever.

   At that time, the foreman of the steel factory came out and offered them an olive branch.

  No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant intends to recruit a group of contract workers. The monthly salary is 60 silver coins, and all food and accommodation are in the factory. There are 4 days of vacation every month, and the day of rest can be determined by yourself. If you do a good job, you can get a commission.

  In addition to age, there are only two requirements for recruitment, one is strength, and the other is literacy... Those with more literacy are given priority.

  According to the foreman, the factory will set up night school literacy classes, and organize workers to learn to write, count and draw pictures, but because they have to sign a contract, they must at least be able to write their own names to sign up, and they are not allowed to ask others to write for them.

  It was the first time in Li Niu's life that he realized how wonderful it is to be educated.

  He had participated in old Charlie's night school literacy class before, although he hadn't been there a few times, but at least he gave his name to the writing club.

   Those whose names have three characters suffer a bit, either they can only write two, or they can only write their last name after holding back for a long time.

  Fifteen people were left behind in the end. The foreman gave them hard hats and warm fur coats, arranged dormitories for them, and told them that from now on they would be workers in No. 81 Steel Plant.

  As long as you work hard, you can bring your family to settle down in the future.

  Li Niu didn't think about things that far away, the current life is enough to make him feel overwhelmed with happiness.

  Wearing fur clothes issued by the factory, he even felt a little hot standing in the factory building. Every time he changed shifts, he would go out to blow a cool breeze.

  This kind of wonderful life was beyond his imagination!

  Looking at the molten iron in the blast furnace, Li Niu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

   "That boy Yu Hu is always careless in his studies, I have to find a way to persuade him..."

  The air release time is over.

  With the molten iron in the blast furnace, it reaches the expected temperature

  Under the instructions of the foreman, Li Niu cooperated with another worker to manipulate the rocker that controls the machine, and moved the suspended blast furnace to the mold for casting to make a stick-shaped billet.

  The motor starts.

   The rollers under the billet start working,

  Transported by a row of rollers, the rod-shaped billet is sent to the punching machine, and punched and drilled by a special high-temperature-resistant drill bit.

   "The temperature of the billet drops too fast."

   "Indeed... we have to find a way to integrate the hot stamping technology and stamp it directly in the mold to keep the quenched state."

   "Can this gun barrel be thinner? Or the barrel is too heavy, there is no mobility at all, and it consumes materials."

   "Try your best. With such a large caliber, I'm afraid that if it's made too thin, the chamber will explode."

  Brothers Suo and Levin stood in front of the production equipment, pointing at the equipment at work, and whispering to each other.

  As for why they are so motivated?

  Because just this morning, they just went online and suddenly received a research and development fund of 5,500 silver coins!

Maybe it's because the managers are moved by their hard work. From now on, for the research and development of new equipment, as long as the drawings and budget are submitted according to the process, they can get the support of special funds, and they will no longer need to generate electricity for love, and they will use their own money to do research and development. up!

  In addition to solving their urgent needs, the respected lord manager also deployed two hibernation cabins for them, saying that it was a reward for their hard work.

  This sleeping cabin is a good thing!

  In the future, they don't need to return to the refuge, and they can go online and offline directly in the factory.

  If you let other players know, they will definitely go crazy with jealousy!

  Happiness comes too suddenly.

  However, Brother Suo and Brother Levin were not stunned by the sudden happiness.

  They are too aware of those lemon essences on the forum. If they know that they have gained so many benefits, they will definitely clamor to cut their knives again.

Therefore, the two of them made a fortune in a low-key way without making a fuss, hired scavengers to recycle good steel and good materials from the waste soil, rented the machine tools in the shelter to cut the necessary parts, and spared no effort to increase the production capacity of the steel factory. , secretly making the steel industry bigger and stronger.

  They decided to show some real skills and show these cloud players who only know how to pick lemons and shout "I can do it too".

  What is a real war machine!

  What do I do? I really don’t know how to do it!

  …

  【Full server announcement: The northern industrial zone of the outpost has been fully started. In addition to the upgrade of facilities, a total of 37 wastelanders have chosen to become workers and joined our great cause. (Industrial Index +100, Prosperity +50)]

  ]

  On the fourth day after the new version was launched, the production in the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost was in full swing.

  At this moment, the B3 floor of the refuge below the base is also bustling with activity.

  The helmet was finally activated. Three hundred players entered the game at the same time. Under the guidance of the broadcast, they came to the square in the center of the floor one after another, blocking the lobby in front of the elevator tower on the B3 floor.

   "There are a lot of newcomers this time!"

   "And the quality seems to be good. There are a little less fussy strange species than last time!"

   "Very good, it seems that the threshold for making an appointment to answer questions has been raised again."

   "By the way, have you seen the European Emperor who drew a different type of unit?"

   "Not yet, the manager hasn't even started to speak, most likely the people are not here yet, they should be dawdling in the room, wait and see!"

   Standing in the corner of the square, Commander Quanshui looked around the crowd, looking for potential stocks among the newcomers, and was ready to start "spreading fire" as soon as the manager finished speaking.

  Although he doesn't want to start training from rookies, but there is no way, his two teammates are too bad!

   One [I am the darkest], one [Battlefield Atmosphere Group], a group of people who fight monsters, and always let him have an intelligence system, not to mention the front, and he is always thinking about his equipment.

  For his own plan to advance to the T0 echelon, Commander Quanshui decided to train a few obedient and easy-to-use cute new current platoons.

   It is best to be a relatively rigid strength type, or a physique type that can carry is also good.

   It would be even better if it was a foreign player like Roushan Damomo!

   After all, someone is standing in front of him, so the person wearing the "pseudo power armor" has an output environment.

   Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

  I saw a little player who had just walked into the hall, groping with his hands above his head in bewilderment.

  Her nickname is Aoao Sesame Paste.

  For some reason, her game character is a bit different from others.

  I saw a pair of furry animal ears drilled out of the hair, replacing the human ears, which looked like some kind of headgear.

   "Huh? Why do my ears grow on the top of my head?"

   "Didn't you notice it when you were in the room?"

   "I, I, I don't know. There is no mirror in the room, so I thought it was my hair curled up in sleep." The expression on that face, which was dumbfounded, could not tell whether it was surprise or surprise.

   Is this SSSR?

  But it seems that there is no attribute bonus...

  The players around were excited.

  Is this testing krypton gold skin?

Can.

   It seems that there is hope for the public beta!

  Tail eyes sparkle: "Cat ears! Damn, there are more and more European emperors!"

  Sisi: "Oh, the number of heterogeneous friends has increased again."

  Tail: "Sh! Spread the fire!"

  Sisi: "Oh, go!"

   One wave was not settled, another wave rose again, and soon there was another commotion in the crowd.

   It's just that this time it's not a surprise, but a fright.

   "Yeah! Alien!"

   "Damn! Why are there rats here!"

   "Call the guards!"

   "Get my spear!"

   The players on the edge of the square were the first to be startled, and then the commotion spread among the crowd.

   "I'm not a mouse... Gan! I'm a player, okay?"

  Looking at the people running away from him, the little player in the middle of the crowd—or the mouse man, couldn't laugh or cry.

   By the way, is this considered SSSR?

   Should be counted, right?

   But the price is a bit miserable, losing the right to choose a spouse in place.

  Although he is quite satisfied with his appearance, other players—especially female players, don't seem to think so.

   After waiting for a long time, none of them came up to rua.

   Gan!

   This group of Yangou!

  Is it so real?

  Chu Guang standing in front of the elevator tower was also puzzled.

  Cat ears are fine...

  80% of it is the bad taste of the first generation of managers.

  What the **** is this mouse about one meter tall?

  Before opening the tank, he couldn't see the specific data of the clones in the cultivation cabin, so this kind of "summoning accident" also happened from time to time.

  【

  ID: Stronger than others

  Gene sequence: Alien Ratman

  Level: LV.0

  —Basic Properties—

   Strength: 3

   Dexterity: 3

   Constitution: 3

   Perception: 5

   Intelligence: 3

  ]

  【

  Talent:

  Fast Synthesis: The active substance consumption of synthetic clones is reduced to 50% of the standard value, and the synthesis time is shortened to 24 hours.

   Iron Stomach: Strong digestive system, able to adapt to rotten food.

  ]

  Open the system and enter the player list.

  Looking at the latest scan data of the player's training cabin, a hint of interest appeared on Chu Guang's face.

   "There is no debuff that makes it difficult to raise the sequence level."

   But relatively, the panel data of the Ratman is very weak, except for perception which is 5, other attributes are only 3, which is equivalent to 60% of normal adult males.

   "The main attribute should be perception."

  Chu Guang originally thought that at least the agility attribute would be a little higher, but it turned out that it was not the case.

  The only advantage of this gene sequence is probably the BUFF provided by [Rapid Synthesis] and [Iron Stomach].

   "The resurrection cost of 0.5 units of active substances, and the synthesis time of 24 hours... this is a bit awesome."

   "And the talent of Iron Stomach... If you can overcome the psychological barrier, it should save you a lot of food."

  In addition to this, another advantage is probably that it is smaller in size and can move freely among the ruins.

  As for the lack of panel attributes... If the first awakening can't fill this hole, I'm afraid I can only rely on mechanical transformation.

   Or take the route of biological and drug strengthening?

  For some reason, Chu Guang thought of the Skaven in Warhammer.

  The plague army all over the mountains and plains is simply a nightmare for the human empire.

  However, it is a pity.

  The Ratman here is an orphan...

  Chu Guang thought in his heart, how about giving this guy a "hidden professional task" as a gift, and give him a training cabin when he is promoted to level three, and let him out to play wild.

   As for the little player with cat ears, to Chu Guang's surprise, her gene sequence does not have a heterogeneous prefix, and she is an ordinary agile player.

  The only difference is the talent column—

  【Beast ears: I originally planned to create a leopard man, but it was an accident that only the part of the ear was dominantly expressed. But apart from the fact that it may be inconvenient to make a phone call, there seems to be no harm. Whether you need it or not depends on you, the first-generation manager. 】

  Chu Guang:…

   This line shows that it is not suitable to appear in the player's attribute column, so let's change it later.

  Standing beside Chu Guang, Yin Fang stared straight at the human-talking mouse, held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help speaking.

"Before the war... Whether it was implanting animal DNA fragments into human embryos or transplanting human DNA fragments into animals, it was a taboo among taboos. How did the person who invented this technology not be used by anyone Humans discovered and researched these things without the support of any external funding?"

yes.

How did he do that?

  Chu Guang is also very curious about this question.

  Including that morphing field that even the "former Academy D-class prospector" hadn't heard of.

   "Maybe it was made in the shelter."

  Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang with a strange face.

   "Are you kidding me? In a shelter? By that half-baked medical lab?"

  Chu Guang's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin thoughtfully.

   "This is an interesting idea, maybe it's really possible."

   To be honest, he doesn't find it strange to create species.

   Isn't mutants an example?

   To borrow the words of a company employee with a bad drinking capacity, out-of-control technology is flooding this land, and it is not surprising that any strange things happen.

  Yin Fang: "..."

  Different from Yin Fang's surprise at the research and development background of this technology, He Ya, who was standing on the other side of Chu Guang, was shocked at the fact that "rats can actually talk".

  Although it was in a language she couldn't understand at all, she could be sure it was speaking!

  This is too incredible!

   "Bears, lizards, and mice with human minds...how on earth do they do it?"

  Suddenly, Heya turned to Chu Guang eagerly, clasped her hands together, and said as if praying.

   "Can you give me a sample? No tissue sectioning, a little blood is enough!"

   "I have authorized you the DNA data of the residents of the refuge, and you can check it on the terminal in the infirmary."

  Although Chu Guang does not expect her to be able to decipher the secret hidden in the gene sequence, it is not bad as a project that is carried out in parallel with the study of heterogeneity.

   After all, there are only so many alien species active in the northern suburbs, and his players can't always get new samples.

  Heya said excitedly.

   "Already collected? Great!"

  If the crowd hadn't blocked the way, she would have rushed into the laboratory right now.

  Yin Fang, who was standing aside, pinched his brows.

   Is it an illusion?

  He always feels that, except for himself, no one in the entire shelter is normal...
