Chapter 239 Methods of taming alien species and preparations for spring plowing!

  It has been three full days since the planner drew a big pie about the "pet system" on the forum.

   As of now, apart from hundreds of articles on raising pets on the forum, no player has successfully tamed the alien species in the wasteland.

  However, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all.

  At least during this period of time, Chu Guang saw many new varieties that he had never seen before at the market at the North Gate...

   On the square in front of the nursing home.

  Looking at Commander Quanshui who came back from the outside, who was leading the construction team to work under the knife, he smiled and teased.

   "Brother Spring Water, did you catch Death Claw?"

Recently, there has been a lot of construction work in the outpost, and the resurrection point to the north has become a large construction site. On the one hand, many players have been promoted to intermediate citizens, and the land area allowed to be purchased has expanded to 50 square meters. On the other hand, more and more NPCs are Settle nearby.

   As the chief architect of Wasteland OL, his architectural skill proficiency has reached level 6!

   It is said that achievements can be unlocked at level 10, and the first skill proficiency level can be entered into the hall of fame. However, starting from level 5, it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade.

   Before Commander Quanshui could speak, the battlefield atmosphere team next to him cursed.

   "Caught a chicken, walked around all day, and killed six dogs! Killed a bunch of cockroaches and blood-sucking insects, but I didn't see a shadow of deathclaw!"

  Commander Quanshui also sighed.

   "It's too hard to find."

   "I obviously followed the official strategy and searched all the landmarks on the map where Deathclaw might appear. As a result, I found a bunch of strange things, except that Deathclaw couldn't be found at all!"

  For example, at the water treatment station they went to today, there is a collapsed structure, the depth is 20 meters below the surface, the radiation index is in the medium threat range, and there is an abandoned spare reactor.

  However, when they went there, they found that apart from some blood-sucking flying insects the size of washbasins and cockroaches crawling all over the ground, there were only stupid eaters left.

   Fortunately, due to the high activity of the alien species, there are still some recyclable materials there.

   After clearing out the alien species there, the silver coins and contribution point rewards obtained by reporting the resource points are not bad, allowing them to make a small fortune.

   Otherwise, you may not even be able to earn back the money for the bullets.

  Although Quan Shui and Zhandi Guy looked depressed, I was the darkest next to them, but my face was full of joy.

   "Sweet! Hahahaha! I'm finally level 6!"

   "MMP, it's too difficult to upgrade this game!"

the other side.

   In front of the market at the north gate, there was a big circle of people.

   Qiuye, who was sitting next to her sister, looked in the direction of the crowd curiously.

   I saw a big crab lying there, and the towering shell was covered with dirty mud and algae leaves.

   Recognized what that big guy was at a glance, Qiu Ye's saliva flowed down, and pointed to that side excitedly and said.

   "Sister! Look over there!"

   Crab Cakes!

   Crabmeat mashed potatoes!

   There is also crab roe noodles!

  In the coming week, there will definitely be a lot of delicious food at the market!

  Looking in the direction her sister pointed, Qiucao's face was also full of surprise.

  In her perception, the Cleft Claw Crab is a very dangerous alien species. Even the bravest warriors and hunters in the tribe would not regard it as a hunting target.

   It is so strong to be able to incorporate such terrifying monsters into the recipe and hunt one after another, these blue coats...

   It would be nice to bring one back to the village.

   When the sisters were feeling emotional, they didn't know that these little players didn't want to kill this thing at all.

   Instead, I plan to catch it as a pet.

   It's just a pity that this crab is too difficult to deal with!

  Like most arthropods, when awake, it can maintain a strong will to fight until its life is completely terminated.

  Even though its legs were blown off and its shell was entangled in devil silk, it still wielded its large pincers and swiftly attacked those who approached.

   In desperation, in order to reduce losses, the edge paddling could only use an anti-armor wooden handle grenade, and killed the big guy who had finally found it.

  At this moment, standing next to the big crab, paddling on the edge is bargaining with tomato scrambled eggs.

  A split claw crab carcass can be sold for 400 silver. This is the purchase price in the NPC warehouse, and it is basically the guide price or reserve price in the market.

  As for the market at the north gate, if other players accept it, it is normal for it to go up by 3%~10%.

   Unless it is a particularly sought-after prey, it is difficult to rise above 20%.

  By the way, due to the decline in inventory, the price of the Iron Fist Bazooka has recently risen to 80 silver coins, and it can only stop when it reaches 100 silver coins.

  Because of Brother Mole’s post, which described in detail the weakness of the split claw crab, many gambling dogs have been born in Mengxin recently.

   That is, save up 80 silver coins to buy an Iron Fist bazooka, find the Hibernating Split Claw Crab hibernating in the cave, and then put a tube on its head.

  If it can hit the forehead, or even hit the side of the head, it is more than enough to kill in one blow, and it can ensure the integrity of the prey.

   This sounds like a great opportunity to make a fortune.

   But relatively, if this shot misses, or accidentally wakes up the split claw crab.

   There is also a probability of working for nothing for several days...

   "... 410 silver, no more, I can't afford it no matter how expensive it is." Hearing the price of 450 silver offered by the edge stroke, Tomato Scrambled Egg shook his head and gave his own price.

  Hearing that his price had been slashed by 40 silver, he couldn't help but said while paddling.

   "Damn! You big-eyed guy, when did you get picked like a mosquito!"

  Dayan in debt also echoed.

   "Exactly! A crab cake can sell for 2 silver coins! This crab weighs at least one or two tons, so it's okay to make 100 kilograms of crab meat? Isn't it too much to make 1000 crab cakes?"

   Construction site boy and Brick: "Damn it, sell it for 2000 silver! I got a set of exoskeleton! It's too dark, too dark."

   Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

   "You don't need to spend money as green wheat? You don't need to spend money in seasoning? Do you think that people will buy what you make?"

   "And it's not that exaggerated. It's almost enough to get 90 kilograms of crab meat. It's not autumn now."

   But he didn't tell the truth in one sentence.

   Crab cakes are actually quite popular.

  After all, not all players will go back to the base for dinner, especially at noon, most of them will settle outside.

  Generally, new players don’t have much money in their pockets. Before going out, they will bring a piece of wheat cake or jerky, soak it in water, and eat it. There are also more **** players who choose to eat it directly.

   This way of eating has no taste, and almost no texture. At most, it can fill the stomach and prevent the debuff of hypoglycemia from weakening the combat power.

   Veteran players with a relatively well-off economy will choose to spend one or two more silver coins to buy some food such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and meat buns, which are convenient and delicious, and the nutrition is more balanced. To maintain a healthy body for a long time, you can also get a strong buff bonus of 1~5% attribute improvement.

  The crab cakes born at the celebration are also a good choice. Whether it is sandwiched in bread or eaten directly, it can provide a lot of calories, and the taste is quite good.

   Even the awakened per capita rice bucket, two 200g crab cakes are basically full. Power players may have a larger appetite, but basically three pieces of cake can also feed them.

  In the end, this big crab was sold at a price of 420 silver coins.

  The four people on the edge paddling side got one point, and each got 105 silver coins. Even if the spent ammunition is deducted, the income is still considerable.

  The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were not idle either. I got pliers, hammers and steel nails, and I was going to start construction on the crab shells to get the crab meat out.

  Some life professional players and natives squatted aside and watched curiously, planning to pick some good-shaped crab shells and spend one or two silver coins to buy them back and use them as armor.

  A piece of crab shell with the thickness of a thumb can block three 7mm bullets at a distance of 100m.

   If it is broken, wrap it with devil silk, make small pieces of lining and stuff it in the clothes, and it can even produce the effect of a composite bulletproof board!

  This kind of unique equipment can be considered unique to the wasteland.

   At this moment, Brother Mosquito suddenly walked over, grabbed the scrambled egg with tomato that was processing the split-claw crab, and asked.

   "Brother, is your crab shell still useful?"

   Scrambled eggs with tomatoes froze for a moment.

   "Crab shells? Useless... What do you want these things for?"

  The mosquito smiled.

   "Of course I have some use, how about selling it to me for 10 silver coins?"

   Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

   "Get out, at least 50 silver coins, don't even think about it."

   Mosquito: "Damn! You don't need it!"

   Tomato scrambled eggs said angrily: "Can I sell it to others? You can ask the people around to see if anyone wants it."

   Didn’t find a bargain, Mosquito looked regretful, but finally paid for it.

  When the players around saw this, they immediately realized that their materials had been cut off by the mosquitoes, and scattered cursing one after another.

   Only the natives are still waiting there, not knowing what happened.

   "Let's talk about it first, don't break the front shells, these shells are mine now."

  Looking at the painful mosquito, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes said with a smile.

   "Don't worry, you know my skills. But then again, what's the use of so many crab shells? Even if this thing is strong enough... it's not as good as steel, right?"

"You don't understand," Mosquito said with a smile, "steel is so expensive, a ton of steel costs several thousand silver coins! The strength of this crab's shell is not much worse than steel. The only disadvantage is that it is heavier, but the problem is not big!"

"This natural composite material has been tested in actual combat for its defense against light weapons! I plan to install an engine on it to drive several robotic legs, install a gun barrel in the front, and install a machine gun on the back. This is no better than being alive." Are there too many split-claw crab batches?"

  After hearing these words, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes froze on the spot, looking at the mosquito in surprise.

   "Damn it... you are too punished, right?"

   Mosquito smiled and said modestly.

"low profile."

  …

   While the players were thinking about how to make the best use of the untamable alien species, their dearest planners were also thinking of ways for them.

   Niu Ma Brick Factory.

  Chu Guang quickly found the previously captured gray wolf through Yang Ergou, the foreman here.

   This guy voluntarily surrendered, and confessed the information of the Lion Tooth Thousands, and won a leniency. Although the punishment and hard labor cannot be exempted, the work of playing mud is a little easier.

   When Chu Guang called him over, Gray Wolf was still a little nervous.

  After all, Black Snake's body is still hanging at the north gate.

  Although he was not under Black Snake, he still panicked.

  However, after hearing about Chu Guang's intentions, Gray Wolf heaved a sigh of relief.

   At least I have some use for these people.

   It should not be the same as the black snake...

   "For alien species like hyenas and wolves, it is difficult to get rid of their wild nature through ordinary domestication methods. If you want to completely tame them, you have to start training them from cubs."

   Chu Guang asked after thinking for a moment.

   "How long does it take for a mutant hyena to grow up?"

   Gray Wolf replied.

   "A year and a half, or two years."

   It will take a year and a half at the earliest...

  It grows a little faster than the clones of Legion, but it takes too long.

   Moreover, it is difficult for a simple hyena to form an effective combat power, and it is stronger than mutant mice and cockroaches, or bully brainless eaters.

   Mutated snow wolves are slightly stronger, but their average combat power is only at the level of LV3, and a few individuals can reach LV5, which is also a wolf.

   Spending two years, investing a lot of food and energy, and cultivating a LV3 combat effectiveness is really uneconomical from the perspective of cost.

  Pets are really just pets.

   It is still a bit difficult to be a battle pet.

   Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "Is there any way to domesticate adult hyenas or wild wolves?"

   Gray Wolf had a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, and reluctantly nodded.

   "There are, but it's not easy...and it's hard to make them work if you can't get rid of the wildness."

   "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way."

   As he spoke, Chu Guang threw him a VM. There was no task publishing function on it, only the recording function was unlocked.

   "You dictate the methods and experience of domesticating and raising wild animals. If it can be used, your sentence can be reduced."

   Gray Wolf had a happy expression and said immediately.

   "Don't worry, my lord! I will tell you everything I know!"

   Chu Guang nodded.

   "Better so."

   Later he will ask Xiaoqi to organize the contents of the recording into notes and update the database on the official website, which should provide some reference for his little players.

  In fact, compared to hyenas and wolves, he expects his little players to domesticate some more powerful alien species.

  Chu Guang believes that as long as they are given enough time, with their ingenuity and imagination, there must be a way to do it.

  …

   It has been a week since the "Spring Thunder" operation, and the sunny days in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are still continuing, and the last heavy snow seems to have been two weeks ago.

  Yesterday, the snow covered my knees, but today I can only bury my calves.

  Everyone can feel that the winter is fading.

   Frozen life is being revived.

   Yet the threat from the North has not been lifted.

  For the upcoming war, both the players and the survivors in the northern suburbs are taking the time to actively prepare for the battle.

  However, as a manager, Chu Guang has to consider not only military issues at the moment.

   There is also next year's grain production.

  More and more facts and arguments have proved that the players after awakening are not only powerful in combat, but also have an amazing appetite.

   In fact, not only after awakening, the food consumed by the players is 1.5~2 times that of the aborigines. As the level increases, it can even reach an astonishing 3 times after reaching LV10.

  Chu Guang didn't know what to complain for a while, whether it was the aborigines living too hard, or his players were too hungry.

  If Black Snake hadn’t sent a wave of couriers, the surplus grain in the warehouse might not be able to last until the corn at the greenhouse ruins matures at the end of next month.

  In order to recruit more players into the game.

   Reclaiming the wasteland north of Linghu Lake must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

  In the conference room of Jiujiu Farm, Luca reported the work situation meticulously to Chu Guang who came to inspect the work.

   "My lord, spring plowing is about to begin. Although we have enough rifles, we cannot plow the land with bayonets and butts."

"Those slaves... I mean the prisoners of war. Although they can undertake the most severe land reclamation work, the efficiency of digging the ground with sticks and hands is too low. Even if they are exhausted in the fields, it is impossible to complete the production task .”

   "We need at least 1,200 sets of farm implements, including hoes, rakes, shovels, and part of the columbine carts for sowing, as well as transportation tools such as trolleys. Since there are not enough livestock, we may have to use manpower instead."

   Chu Guang thought for a moment and asked.

   "How much do we have in stock?"

   Luka said with a wry smile.

"My lord, how can we have any inventory... The entire industrial zone is producing arms. The only 120 sets of tools were brought from several survivor settlements such as Highway Town, but the quality of their tools is very poor. , iron products are less than half."

  Hearing the helplessness in Luka's tone, Chu Guang was a little embarrassed.

  External survival pressure is there. He admitted that he was indeed a bit militaristic some time ago, but this is also something that can’t be helped.

   Besides, this is not a bad thing.

  The military industry drives the steel production capacity, and the steel production capacity has increased. Isn’t it easy to make a few farm tools?

"I will find a way to do this," Chu Guang thought for a moment, and promised, "I will try my best to gather 300 sets of tools needed for land reclamation within a week, and try to close all the gaps before the end of the month." Fill in. What about our neighbors? Is there a way to borrow some from them?"

   Luka thought for a while and said.

   "Brown Farm should have it, but I'm afraid it's not enough. In my impression, even if the indoor planting area is counted, their arable land area is less than 400 mu."

  400 mu…

  Chu Guang shook his head.

   "Too little."

  From the north of Linghu Lake to the forest in Yumu District, there is more than 100 square kilometers of wasteland, which is 150,000 mu in conversion.

  400 mu is enough to fill a gap between the teeth.

  In Chu Guang’s plan, the first phase of the planned arable land area is 30,000 mu, ensuring that it can feed at least 30,000 people, and produce some cash crops to supply raw materials such as plant fiber, oil, and rubber needed by the industrial zone.

   It's not just a tool shortage.

  Manpower is also a big problem.

   In the absence of automated equipment, only manpower can be used to stack. It is roughly estimated that at least 1,000 to 3,000 manpower will be mobilized to reclaim the 30,000 mu of land.

   At present, there are about 700 prisoners of war that can be used.

  There are currently more than 1,500 people in the refugee camps, but the young and middle-aged labor force may only account for 50%, and some of them have been absorbed by industrial areas.

  The reason why the rifles and bullets in the hands of players can be sold so cheap is that these people are sweating on the assembly line.

  Children under the age of 12 are not useful. Even if women and the elderly who can work are put into production, it is estimated that 400 to 500 people can be gathered.

   After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang thought.

   "You can assign part of the production tasks to players who like farming, and design a unique farming career gameplay."

   "If the effect is good, more land can be applied for."

   But farming is a technical job.

   And it takes patience.

   There is still a big difference between farming in "Wasteland OL" and Penguin Farm.

Planting and harvesting vegetables is not just a matter of two mouse clicks. Not only do you have to sow the seeds, but you also need to regularly water, fertilize, remove insects, drive away unique species on the wasteland, and guard against extreme weather on the wasteland. .

  The climate on the wasteland is not as smooth as in reality.

   Even in the suburbs with low radioactivity, there will occasionally be two clouds of unusual colors floating in the sky. It's okay when it's not raining, but when it rains it's going to be bad...

  After listening to Luca's report, Chu Guang continued to look at the wrench waiting aside. Judging from the expression on his face, he should have good news to tell himself.

   Before the manager asked, the wrench saw that Luka had finally finished speaking, so he immediately stepped forward and opened the mouth.

   "Master, I also have an important matter to report to you!"

"explain."

  Restraining the joy in his heart, Wrench said excitedly.

   "The raiders stationed in Yuanxi Town have withdrawn!"

  Withdrawn?

  Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed.

   Damn it!

   Let these **** run away!
