Chapter 235 Fuel Engines

   Before 12 am.

The    team finally arrived at Changchang Farm.

   And the players also returned to the outpost one after another, or went offline near the save point of the farm.

  Many people experienced symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and dizziness before going offline.

   After reading the guide posts on the forum, they immediately understood what was going on, and they all found a sleeping compartment to lie down.

   near the save point.

   The air is filled with joy.

   "Brother, are you here too?"

   "Hahaha, it's a coincidence that everyone came together!"

   "My requirements are not high, just give me an SSSR when drawing talents!"

   "Isn't that demanding?!"

   "Planning and blessing, I would like to use everyone here to be single for a lifetime in exchange for an invincible talent."

   "The planner said he knew about it, and said that he would arrange for you to become a talent to help him."

   "Fuck."

   The awakened players celebrated each other, and the players who were still a little or a hundred million points were mad at lemons, with expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred on their faces.

  Although the talent hidden in the genetic sequence has been decided from the moment they "logged into the game", and there is no way to change the plan, Chu Guang is still sincerely happy for them.

   At least ten awakened in this battle.

   I might be able to reach twenty!

   It's a big step forward from making an awakening company.

   Standing next to the warehouse of Changchang Farm, Chu Guang looked at the trucks full of supplies and the young players who were thriving, with a father-like smile on his face.

  The young shoots in the field have grown taller again.

very nice.

  …

   Players who went offline brought the battle situation on the front line to the forum, and shared the joy of victory with the professional players in the back and the cloud players who were still queuing.

  By the way, I also took a few "photographic-grade" original game paintings that have been reviewed to pretend to be forceful.

   On Chu Guang's side, he finally got the battle report he had been waiting for all day.

   The first was the road crossing blocking battle. There were 227 players participating in the battle, against the four over-provisioned centurions under the Black Snake, as well as a total of 628 logistics transport teams and artillery teams.

   Among them, 17 players were killed (including serious injuries) and 33 were injured.

   A total of 371 looters were killed and 257 prisoners were captured. The number of people who escaped in the chaos has not been counted, and it is estimated that there are only about 10 to 20.

  The prisoners included a centurion and two staff officers.

   Let Chu Guang have a little regret, the Thousand Commander Black Snake was killed while fleeing, and his little player failed to catch the live one.

   But it doesn't matter, it's the same when you catch the staff. What you can ask from the black snake's mouth can be asked from his staff.

   If you can't ask, basically you really don't know.

   The prisoners who are worth interrogation are temporarily locked in Changchang Farm, and the prisoners who are worthless, Chu Guang, are handed over to Luca.

   Recently, he planned a labor camp in the north of Linghu Lake, responsible for reclaiming the wasteland north of Linghu Lake.

  Although the labor camp is still a bare open space, Chu Guang will give the prisoners of war a dozen logging axes, and let them build their own cells by themselves.

   is very humane.

   Escape?

   This idea is very creative to try.

   In addition to the captives, there are 488 freed slaves.

   It is said that there were 2,000 people at the earliest, and only half of them remained in winter, and now only these are left.

Most of them are young and middle-aged laborers, and many of them are craftsmen like Wu Mu, the director of a paper mill. .

The vast majority of them came from the central and northern parts of the Vale Province, and some other parts of the south. Most of them were captured by the looters when they ransacked the villages. It can be said that they have suffered both mental and physical torture along the way. .

  Chu Guang intends to temporarily place them in refugee camps and take literacy classes with those refugees to learn literacy, numeracy and geometry.

  Only an educated workforce can become a quality workforce.

   These people will be the basis of industrialization.

  Although there will be some pressure on food supply in the short term, in the long run, this investment is definitely worth it.

   Besides, Chu Guang just got a batch of grain from the looters. According to rough statistics, it can be used about 84 tons, of which half are potatoes, 30% are rice, and the rest are all kinds of grains and miscellaneous grains.

   In addition, there are 21 tons of nutritional paste, probably used by the looters to feed the slaves, just as rations for prisoners of war.

   "...We seized a total of 25 trucks, which carried, in addition to grain, a large amount of cotton products and untreated cotton, as well as animal skins."

"In terms of weapons, those looters used mostly regiment-style weapons, including 610 'ripper' rifles, 50 Pu-9 submachine guns, 98 'blade' assault rifles, and a small number of iron-barreled rifles and ten-captains. "

   "In terms of ammunition, their trucks are loaded with 60,000 rounds of 7mm rounds, and a handful of other calibers. 100 Tekken rocket launchers and 150 100mm rounds and so on."

  While reporting the situation, Wrench handed a list to Chu Guang.

   In addition to weapons and food and things to keep warm, there are some other supplies on the list.

   Like gold.

   For example, all kinds of wine.

  These raiders not only inherited the Legion's equipment, but also their habit of liking gold and alcohol.

   Glancing at the entire list, Chu Guang had only one feeling in his heart.

   These guys are really rich, they can be described as fat and oily.

   How much property did this bone-biting tribe inherit from the expeditionary army?

   These equipment may be less to arm a regiment, but more than enough to arm a reinforced company or a battalion.

  If every Thousand Teams were so fat...

   Putting down the list in his hand, Chu Guang sighed softly.

   "Thanks to the old iron for the courier sent from thousands of miles away, I will use it well."

The    wrench was slightly stunned.

express delivery?

what is that.

   But it wasn't the first time he heard words he had never heard before from the manager, so it wasn't too surprising.

  Wrench knows that in front of the vast ocean-like knowledge of the manager, what he understands is only a chestnut in the ocean, and it is normal for him not to understand.

   "The caliber of the Legion Rifle is also 7mm, but the lengths of the cartridges are different, so they are not compatible with each other... It's a pity that these 60,000 rounds of ammunition are."

  Wrench nodded and said: "Indeed, but their Pu-9 submachine gun is a good thing. Although its power is smaller than our short sickle, it will be much more maneuverable."

  Scythe, also known as LD-47c, a short-barreled version of the scythe assault rifle, a submachine gun that "has an automatic rifle receiver and fires full-power bullets."

   Compared with the short sickle, the  Pu-9 submachine gun is mainly designed for street fighting environment and trench sweeping. The fighting distance is within 50 meters, and there is little chance of 100 meters.

   At this distance, small-caliber, high-rate submachine guns do have certain advantages. With the expansion of the magazine or drum, it can even burst out in a short period of time, which is not inferior to the firepower advantage of the machine gun.

  Chu Guang picked up a handful from the carriage and played with it for a while, with an expression of interest in his eyes.

   The weight of this thing is very light, less than three kilograms.

   The shape is a bit like a Thomson submachine gun, but just the slanted grip looks like it, and the internal structure is obviously not the same thing.

  Chu Guang inserted a clip and shot a shuttle at the snowdrift beside him.

   That sound like tearing cloth sounds very crisp and pleasant, but it feels a little less powerful.

   "It's still very useful to deal with ordinary predators or martyrs, but it's a bit difficult to deal with creepers, and it shouldn't be able to defeat tyrants."

   "It's also good for mutant cockroaches, mice, and hyenas. The high rate of fire can make up for the lack of accuracy, and it's not difficult to control at close range, so it's suitable for dealing with low-protection targets."

   "However, if you use it to fight cockroaches, I'm afraid it won't pay off."

  Chu Guang turned off the safety of the gun, put it back in the car, and gave a pertinent evaluation.

   "You can use it for newcomers."

   The newcomers mentioned here do not refer to the new players who have just entered the game, but the players at the stage before LV2 to LV5.

   The vast majority of them have completed the "Passing the Fire" task, mastered the basic combat or survival ability, graduated from the master, and most of their contributions have reached citizens, and they have saved enough money to buy the "user interface".

According to the economic system designed by Chu Guang for players, players at this stage can complete the second change in their life within 3 to 7 days, replacing iron-barreled rifles or crossbows with "modern weapons", and from then on, they can experience a complete experience. game content.

   However, the LD series of weapons designed for the current development environment of the shelter is actually not suitable for newcomers.

Especially in the intelligence department, if the initial intelligence attribute is 7, usually the strength is only 3, the first ten levels have the opportunity to add a little strength, and the awakening adds a little more. Basically, when you reach LV10, you can stably have 5 points of strength... that is, a normal adult. average human.

  It is a bit difficult to operate the LD-47 assault rifle without the aid of an exoskeleton or a mechanical prosthesis.

   For them, it is a good choice to use the weapons of other factions designed for ordinary people to transition.

   After checking the weapons, Chu Guang went directly to the last row of the convoy.

   An armored pickup was parked there.

   is also the only one of the 8 armored pickups that is intact. The others are somewhat damaged and need to be repaired before they can be used, or they are simply blown up and cannot be repaired.

  Chu Guang was very curious about this vehicle, especially its power source.

   After opening the hood and checking it, Chu Guang then walked to the side and rear of the karaoke car and found the fuel tank on the back of the car.

  The location of this thing is very cleverly hidden. The front is the cab, the sides are armored steel plates, and a protective cover is added on it to place the base of the fixed machine gun.

   Unless it is rounded to the rear, or the side armor is directly penetrated, it is basically impossible to hit the fuel tank.

  Chu Guang opened the fuel tank cap, stretched out his index finger to touch it, and sniffed it before his nose.

  The taste is very light, not volatile, and the oil is thick, a bit like diesel.

   "Diesel?"

The    wrench was slightly stunned.

"what is that……"

  Chu Guang wiped his hands and said casually.

   "Nothing, an oil-burning engine should be considered an antique."

   Compared to this world, fossil fuel engines are indeed an antique.

  Civil-grade solid-state hydrogen batteries have been popularized in the prosperous era, and some special equipment even use metal hydrogen batteries, which are completely separated from chemical energy and directly use cold fusion.

   No matter how advanced the technology is, the bottleneck of fossil fuel engines is there. With the continuous innovation of energy storage methods and energy technologies, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

   However, when civilization declined, many technologies that had been swept into the grave seemed to be unearthed again.

   Looking at the wrench, Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "Did you see the fuel on those trucks? They were probably in barrels, like the liquid in this tank."

The   Wrench was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said.

   "I seem to have found it, but I thought it was the oil used to make incendiary bottles, and it was counted in the item of raw materials. It should be on the list I gave you earlier."

  Chu Guang looked over the list, and sure enough, in the raw material item, he found the item [burning agent].

  The reserves of these predators are still quite large. There are 10 iron buckets with a capacity of 200L, and some are packed in small buckets of 5 liters.

  These fuels may not be enough for a whole fleet, but they are enough for a few armored pickups.

  Chu Guang frowned slightly.

   Food can be robbed, but fuel, it may be difficult to maintain by robbing.

   After all, this is wasteland.

   There are definitely few survivors with industrial capacity. Even if there is production of alkane fuels, it is difficult to directly match without a unified production standard.

   "The Chewbone Tribe is suspected to control an oil well with uncertain production capacity and reserves, or other special fuel production facilities."

   "What is certain is that this fuel contains alkanes and cannot be cooking oil after all."

   "Is it an oil crop?"

  Oil is not just a fuel, but an important industrial raw material.

  Currently, the common organic chemical raw materials in Qingquan City mainly come from the Camu tree planted in the gathering places of survivors of all sizes.

  The fruit of this tree can extract oil, and the resin is high-quality rubber. It is not uncommon in the central region of the Central Continent. The technology was born in the pre-war era.

   wrote down the information silently in his heart, Chu Guang thought for a moment, looked at the wrench and ordered.

   "Send this fuel to the outpost."

   It is best to let Yin Fang identify the ingredients of this thing, and see if it was dug out of the ground or produced through something.

This guy used to be a D-level prospector of the academy, and he must know more about the wasteland than himself, who has just come to this world for less than a year, and he must also know more than Heya, who just came out of the dormant cabin, and Xia, who is extremely superstitious in urban legends. Many bosses.

   If the composition and production method of the fuel can be determined, it will be able to help Chuguang to have a more comprehensive grasp of the information about the Bone-chewing tribe.

   And it is definitely more reliable than the information he asked from the mouths of the captives.

   After all, most of those captives are not literate, and it is easy to add their own brains when explaining problems, and sometimes the information they ask is all kinds of strange.

   It’s not that they don’t want to confess, but they themselves don’t understand.

  Chu Guang still remembers that Torch Church believer, who used "miracle" to call the "collar" that could enslave Death's Claw.

   Wrench earnestly.

   "Okay sir, do you need to send it now?"

  Chu Guang thought about it.

   "Early tomorrow, be safe."

   wrote down the manager's instructions, Wrench was about to leave to instruct the guards to unload the goods, suddenly remembered something, and continued.

   "By the way, sir, in addition to the oil, there is also something on a truck. We studied it for a long time and didn't understand what it was. Asked the prisoners, they couldn't tell, but they said it was something from Lord Black Snake."

  Chu Guang moved in his heart and said immediately.

   "Take me there."

   "Please come with me!"

  Wrench and Chu Guang quickly came to the back of the truck.

  I saw two guards boarded the carriage and lifted a wooden box down.

  Chu Guang opened the box and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned.

  This thing...

   Isn't that the claw of death that he raised in the shed at the west gate, the lump hanging around his neck? ?

  Chu Guang asked immediately.

   "How many of these are there?"

   The guard replied.

   "We counted them, and there were 37 in total."

  Chu Guang had a happy expression on his face.

  37!

   Good guy.

   It seems that the person who performed the operation was taken away. These looters would not use these things at all, so they threw them in the carriage.

  Epic enhancement of intelligence department!

   is different from previous times.

   I'm afraid it's really strengthened this time! -

(Sorry to the brothers who have been waiting for a long time, it’s not that I didn’t want to update it earlier, but I really didn’t catch up... I have been writing since 1:00 in the morning, including the idea, outline, and text, and I have to catch up in a while. , get up and continue writing. I should have written about the settlement of mission rewards, the basic meeting of the captives, and the next plot point... but I really didn't have enough speed, so I only wrote half of it.

Really sorry! I will try to maintain 10,000 days, but I have never really tried a burst for such a long time before, it has always been 4k. I'll get it done in the morning, not ten o'clock or twelve o'clock, please give me a little time and tolerance... I love you. )
