Chapter 215 Fear of Insufficient Firepower

  Finally received the "hidden mission" he had dreamed of, Debt Big Eye hugged the new toy he just got, and left happily.

   Neural connection equipment!

  The only robot in the server that can be controlled by brainwaves!

  Thanks to the master planner, the opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, and his 10 intelligence attributes can finally come in handy!

   Seeing his little player so happy, Chu Guang was also in a very happy mood.

  As a planner, it is his honor to make players happy.

  Chu Guang is looking forward to his ability to play with this little robot.

  However, the expression on Yin Fang's face looked a little worried.

   "To be honest, I don't really recommend sending immature equipment to the battlefield. This is irresponsible for the lives of testers."

   Chu Guang said with a slight smile.

   "Relax, don't you see that man is very happy? You got the experimental data, and he got... er, happy."

   “I think it’s a win-win.”

hapiness?

  Yin Fang was stunned for a moment, a bit unable to understand this sentence, let alone how happy it is to test such immature equipment, but he didn't ask much.

  He still has a lot of things to do, whether it is the work arrangement of the scientific expedition team or the improvement of the robot, there is no time to delay here.

  After saying goodbye, Yin Fang took the elevator back to the shelter.

  Chu Guang didn't go down with him, but went upstairs and carried Xiao Qi down.

   After a day of work, Xiaoqi should go back to recharge.

  However, just as Chu Guang, who was holding Xiao Qi in his arms, was about to take the elevator back to the shelter, troubles arose immediately.

  A dark group of people surrounded the elevator.

  They are all intelligence players.

   Facing those fiery eyes, Chu Guang instantly understood their purpose, and his head gradually grew bigger.

   Gan!

  How could he forget about this!

   "Dear Master Manager, I am also level 7 in the intelligence department! And I have 11 points of intelligence! Please allow me to contribute to the shelter!"

   "Master, a wise and mighty manager, look at me! Although I don't have 10 points of intelligence, I think I'm much smarter than that big-eyed debtor!"

   "The invincible and eternally great Master Manager—"

   "Hey! Do you even have to roll your title?"

   "Hey, in order to hide the mission, don't be shabby!"

  Chu Guang: "..."

   Those eager eyes are like young birds waiting to be fed.

   There is no doubt, they are all intelligence department.

  Chu Guang can guess it with his toes, it must be the player just now, who ran with the quadruped robot to pretend to show off.

   MMP!

   When testing equipment in the future, you must find a low-key one!

  Looking at Chu Guang, who was surrounded by players chattering and his scalp was numb, and Xia Yan, who was waiting for him at the elevator door, the corners of his mouth curled up gloatingly.

   Hum.

   Makes you like calling people around!

  Now you realize how annoying it is to be surrounded and noisy by "players"!

  …

  Official website:

  【Server Announcement: Due to the continuous snowstorm, the transportation route to Yumu District has been suspended. At the same time, the trucks at the outpost will also suspend the personal rental business. Please understand. 】

  【Yin Fang: "Wasteland Survival Manual" has been updated to the first chapter, a cheat book from the academy, teaching you how to scavenge waste more efficiently! 】

  【Dawn: The fifth day of the implementation of the "Wartime Management Regulations", everyone perseveres, victory is in sight! (Remaining time: 55 days)]

  【Xiaoyu: The weather is getting colder, please keep warm! 】

  Tail: "Take the little fish in the front row! (*/ω＼*

  Elf King Fugui: "Hey, I can't go to the Yumu District. Hunter players are going to cry."

  Stop talking nonsense: "Fishermen are going to cry too, the ice on this lake is so hard that I can't even chisel it!"

  Yaoya: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

   Construction site boy and Brick: "+1! I'm going to die without mushroom soup."

  Makabazi: "Quack, let's all farm! Farming players yyds! Welcome to the greenhouse farm!"

  Irena: "Hey...It turns out that the meat of the nibbler really can't...uh."

  Elf King Fugui: "Fuck?! Old man? What are you doing?"

  Irena: "Uh, I'm just curious. After all, I'm a physique system, so I gave it a try... The result is, you know. (Embarrassing

  Ye Shi: "It is recommended that the official update an achievement, the ruthless person who dares to eat the eater raw. (Funny

  Irena: "Fuck off! I'm cooked anyway, okay? Who would eat that stuff raw! (`Д*)9"

  Ye Shi: "That's hard to say. (Funny

  Elf King Fugui: funny

  Since entering December, the snow in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City has been getting bigger and bigger, and the players' range of activities is like a shrinking poison circle, shrinking and shrinking, even gradually retreating from the surface to the ground.

  To be honest, Chu Guang was more anxious than them.

   Before, his little players could hunt and catch fish, but recently they can’t catch prey anymore, let alone fish.

  The ice on the lake had to be exploded with explosives!

  However, thanks to the heavy snow, the progress of the strategy of the underground passage on the B3 floor is constantly advancing, and the southern line has been connected with the Qingquan subway network.

   Now, from the exit on the B3 floor, you can move directly to the Huayuan Street Subway Station, which is located on the edge of the Fifth Ring Road, and Shelter 117.

   This is undoubtedly a boon for players who want to explore the city.

  Before I wanted to move from the outpost to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road, the straight-line distance of nearly five kilometers, even the shortest route, took 2 to 3 hours, and it took half a day to go back and forth.

  Now, along the subway, you can directly cross the ruins. If you walk faster, it won't even take an hour.

  In order to reduce the time spent by players on the road, Chu Guang allocated 50 newly-produced dormant pods to shelter 117 first, so that players can save files at the front line.

  However, as the progress of the players' strategy in the underground tunnel continues to advance, the consumption rate of bullets is also increasing.

In order to make the supply of bullets keep up with the increasing consumption, Chu Guang had to re-plan a larger ammunition factory in the new industrial zone, and ordered two sets of processing equipment specially used for stamping bullet casings and primers from No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant. .

  Thanks to the magnetic confinement plasma cutting machine obtained from the company, without this thing, many things would not be able to be realized even if the blueprint can be found.

  In addition to the bullet itself, there are also nitrocellulose and short columnar lead azide (type α) required for the production of bullets.

  Before these things were done by Mosquito's Goblin Technology, and it was the main source of income for Goblin Technology.

  However, the output of Mosquito’s small workshop is too low, and due to personal personality, the specifications and quality of its products are difficult to standardize, and it has gradually been unable to keep up with the needs of military factories.

  For the sake of efficiency, Chu Guang planned a special chemical plant in the new industrial zone to produce various types of chemicals and gunpowder to supply raw materials for the military factories in the new industrial zone.

This factory, Chuguang, was not handed over to a single player to operate, but appointed several NPCs to serve as the factory director, deputy factory director, etc., and hired professional players with relevant chemical experience to serve as technicians to guide production .

  Currently there are quite a few players with experience in chemical engineering in the server. There are about 30 of them. These are human high-quality players carefully selected by Chu Guang from the forum exchange section.

Although many people here are just talking on paper, have no practical experience, and their levels are uneven, but with search tools for reference, they are no better than those in the wasteland who have no theoretical basis and rely entirely on experience. The wastelanders should be a little more reliable.

   What's more, there are always two wolves in a group of huskies that look more like wolves, and the same is true for his little players. Occasionally, one or two special punishment bosses will emerge from a group of sand sculptures.

  Currently, the number of life professional players active in the new industrial area has reached 71, and the number of NPC workers employed has reached 240.

   This number is not enough, whether it is the former or the latter, there is room for further improvement.

   Taking advantage of the heavy snow to block the road, Chu Guang must seize all the time and use all available resources to make the industrial fire burn more vigorously on the wasteland.

   It is impossible for the Bone Chewing Tribe to give up the fat of Qingquan City.

  Even if they can't chew the hard bones of Boulder City, the group of looters will definitely try their best to come to the northern suburbs to take a bite.

   There is bound to be a big battle between the two sides.

   And right after the snow melts!

  The outcome of this battle will also determine who is the master of the northern suburbs!

  …

   In the first week of the implementation of the "Wartime Regulations", although there was no reply from the planner about when winter would end, the little players of "Wasteland OL" still received a piece of good news.

   Boss Xia, who had been playing charades for a whole week, finally put a new weapon on the shelves in the weapon store—two light machine guns and submachine guns independently developed by Vault 404.

  However, after seeing the style of the new weapon, almost all the little players gathered in front of the weapon shop let out howls of disappointment.

   "Damn! This operator is addicted to copying CF!"

   "Why Kalashnikov again!"

   "It's cracked, the light machine gun is fine, what is this submachine gun?!"

   "I beg the operator to launch two AR series weapons!"

  Compared to the wailing of all the FPS players, Brother Suo and Brother Levin showed dismissive expressions, as if they were looking at a group of idiots.

   "Tsk, these people are really light, and the cutting receiver is so easy to make!"

   "Exactly! Don't consider the cost of mass production!"

   "However... after we finish the 20mm machine gun, we can consider getting a fixed machine gun."

  Brother Suo proposed: "How about a water-cooled Maxim?"

  Brother Levin's eyes lit up: "Good idea! That thing shouldn't be too difficult!"

  The final mystery revealed is LD-47j and LD-47c.

   Except for the two directors of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, almost all players pressed the wrong treasure.

  The former LD-47j is based on the original sickle assault rifle, and the barrel is lengthened while a heat dissipation pipe is installed, and a bipod is installed under the barrel.

  Since it is fed by a drum with 75 rounds, it is undoubtedly a machine gun.

  LD-47c is even more sloppy. It is simply a sickle assault rifle that saws the barrel short, and changes the wooden **** to a more compact foldable steel bar.

   Since the rifling is short, there is no doubt that it is a submachine gun.

  However, the operator did not completely perfunctory, at least they gave the two new guns a more powerful name——

  The light machine gun is called "Combine Harvester", and the submachine gun is called Short Sickle.

  Looking at it this way...

  The semi-automatic continuous sniper before, should it be regarded as a "long sickle"?

  In short, the prices of the two new guns are very affordable, the machine gun costs 300 silver coins, and the submachine gun costs 250 silver coins.

  However, for such a high-firing weapon, the price of the gun itself is of little significance.

  The key is the consumption speed of the ammunition. It is not the kind of team battle where the ammunition is fired. I am afraid that few people can afford it.

   Staring at the weapons on the shelf for a long time, he couldn't help but complain when most of the people around him had dispersed and they were paddling around.

   "Forget about machine guns, but why do submachine guns also use full-power bullets?!"

   The indebted big eye with a big bag on his back asked curiously.

   "If you don't understand, just ask, what is a full power bomb?"

  The construction site boy and Brick standing aside explained.

   "Look at those World War II movies, the rifles that pull the bolt are basically full-power bullets. The length of the 50mm bullet case is extremely large, and the power for hitting people is basically a bit excessive."

   Lian’s big eyes lit up: “Understood! The kind of bullet used by 98k, right?”

   Construction site boy and brick: "Uh, if this helps you understand."

  Roller hair washing machine: "Although, I think these two guns should have a good effect on dealing with alien species."

  The damage of full-power bullets is indeed a bit overflowing for hitting people, but it is just right for hitting aliens such as creepers.

  In the past, they used the small 5mm runner water hose to rub off the skin on the creeper. Although it is still dangerous to encounter the creeper, at least the damage can be dealt.

   Edge paddling shook his head.

   "That's what I said, but look, how many people besides the strength department can hold it down?"

  He is a perception system, and his gene sequence has reached LV8. With a little strength, he can barely hold down the recoil of LD-47.

  However, he can understand.

  From a real point of view, with the industrial capacity of the outpost base, it is not easy to cobble together a receiver production line, and this is on the premise that all production capacity is given priority to the development of military industry.

   Adding an additional weapon production line means that the cost of the entire logistics supply will also increase accordingly.

   Even if you want to enrich the variety of light weapons, it is not something you should do now.

   The equipment is sufficient, and the amount is large.

   This is a refuge that is still in its infancy, and the only guarantee it can provide them.

  Bought an LD-47j from Boss Xia and held it in his hands. The construction site boy and Zhuan touched the barrel with their hands, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

   "If only I could get a mortar."

  Mosquito rockets are always unreliable, scaring more people to death than blowing them up.

  Now even the equipment of the Marauders is almost better than theirs. A local battle can drive two armored pickups, and the firepower is so overwhelming that they can't even rush out.

   They need support fire so badly!

   Liabilities Big Eyes nodded in deep agreement.

   "Yes, at that time, as long as we brought two more tubes, we would not be crushed in the bunker."

  Drawing on the edge shook his head, after some selection, he finally chose LD-47.

   Not only because the basic model is the cheapest, only 200 silver, but the most important thing is that it is easy to use.

   "I won't mention the matter of hindsight, I hope our life professional players can give some help!"

   Purchased weapons and ammunition, and the fringe paddling team that had completed their preparations left the outpost and walked towards the greenhouse ruins.

  Brother Mole's team has reached the fifth floor, which is the topmost floor of the surface part.

  Because there is plenty of natural light, the spirit leaves grow luxuriantly, and the density of devil moths is much higher than that of other layers on the surface, a team can no longer handle it.

   Out of caution, Mole called for reinforcements. They just happened to be paddling on the edge of the water and they had no other tasks, so they planned to merge the convoys and benefit everyone by 50%.

   On the other side, in the shelter.

  Lao Bai, who had just been online, was led by Ye Shi and Kuang Feng to the maintenance room.

   Along the way, Lao Bai kept asking questions.

   "What is it that makes it so mysterious?"

  This time, Ye Shi kept his mouth shut in a rare way. He didn't reveal a word along the way, but only urged to speak.

   "Okay, don't ask, you will know when you come."

  Guangfeng next to him also nodded his head, cherishing words like gold.

   "+1."

  Old Bai: "...?"

  With curiosity in his heart, Lao Bai followed Ye Shi and Guafeng to the maintenance room.

   But Fang Chang was also standing here.

  Beside him at this moment, stood the deputy captain of the guard—Liu Ding wearing a five-style exoskeleton.

  Beside him, stands a brand new orange exoskeleton

   Facing Lao Bai who was coming from the direction of the buffer room, Liu Ding opened his mouth expressionlessly and said in a businesslike tone.

   "Your bravery and loyalty have proven that you are worthy of this equipment."

   "Your friend wants to give it to you, would you accept it?"

  For a moment, Lao Bai held his breath, and his eyes were slightly startled.

  2000 silver coin miner type I exoskeleton!

  Currently the most expensive equipment in the server!

  LV10 is required and the contribution reaches the citizen level to purchase!

   Before he could speak, Fang Chang, who was standing aside, said.

   "Silver coins are about to depreciate in value, and if you don't spend them, you will be wasting them. Before the price of exoskeletons has increased, and you are the only awakened person in our team, we unanimously decided to pay you for a set."

   It's not just that the price of exoskeletons has not increased.

  Many equipment with a unit price of more than 500 silver coins, which cannot be produced by the shelter itself, should increase in price logically, but until now it has not changed a penny.

  Obviously, the dog planner chose to be an individual after all, leaving some buffer time for those players with large deposits, allowing them to hand over their money before inflation.

  Of course, Fang Chang would not waste Ah Guang's painstaking efforts. He, Ye Shi, and Feng Feng combined their deposits together, so it would not be a big problem to scrape together 2,000 silver coins, and they didn't even need to use the dividends from Niu Ma Brick Factory.

   "How can this work! Other equipment is fine, this exoskeleton is too expensive!"

  Hearing that everyone planned to pool money to buy equipment for himself, Lao Bai finally came to his senses and shook his head repeatedly, refusing to say anything.

"Don't say such outrageous words," Kuangfeng shook his head and said, "If you really understand, if you hadn't covered our retreat, our loss would probably be far more than 2000 silver coins. Earn you a new set of exoskeletons."

   "That's right! That's the reason," Fang Chang nodded in agreement, "Teachers can speak!"

  Guangfeng coughed.

   “What does this have to do with teaching…”

  Old Bai: "At least let me bear a share—"

"Bring me a hammer. I told you that everyone paid for it for you. What did you pay for it?" Interrupting Lao Bai, Ye Shi laughed and said, "Of course, if you want to give me the equipment, I will give it to you." Will not refuse."

  Listening to everyone's words, Lao Bai was so moved that he didn't know what to say for a while.

   Seeing what Lao Bai was going to say, Fang Chang put his hand on his shoulder and said with a hearty smile.

   "Okay, don't say nasty words!"

   "Don't forget what you said yourself, the equipment you bought is for use, and there is a sense of being shy in the game! The big guy chipped in to buy it for you, it's yours, don't always carry the burden!"

  Ye Shi also said with a smile.

   "That's right, there are still four floors to be painted in the greenhouse ruins, and we'll just wait for you to start a team!"

  Old Bai's eyes gradually became firmer, took a deep breath, and nodded seriously.

   "...I won't say any polite words, but I will keep my thanks in mind."

   "Everyone, prepare yourself, the target greenhouse ruins is on the B6 floor. We will leave on time in 10 minutes!"

  Guang Feng smiled and nodded.

"receive!"

  The players headed towards the maze on the wasteland and started a new day of adventure.

  At this moment, Chu Guang was sitting in the manager's office, looking at the gadgets in his hands, with an expression of interest on his face.

  It is a small digital camera, which integrates two functions of taking pictures and video, and it looks only the size of a pen.

  It has a concave card slot on the side, which can just be stuck on both ends of the VM, and can also be clipped to the collar or chest pocket like a pen, which is very convenient.

   This gadget is a small tool that Chu Guang commissioned Yin Fang to help make, and it can be used with VM.

  After looking at it for a while, Chu Guang couldn't help but speak greedily while admiring it in his heart.

   "It's a nice camera."

   "It's just a pity that I can't make a phone call."

   "It would be even better if an instant messaging system was integrated!"
