Chapter 261 The Wave and the B4 Floor Mission!

   The lone wolf studied for a long time but still couldn't figure out how this machine could achieve more than 60 horsepower.

   It's not because the machinery is too complicated.

   It's even the opposite, but because it's "too simple", so simple that he can't help but wonder if the game's production team is being lazy.

  The principle of the pot machine is actually not difficult. In essence, it is nothing more than boiling water. The movement of the piston drives the crankshaft to rotate and then drives the flywheel to output power outward.

  Referring to the engine, ignoring the cost performance, it is actually very easy to simply increase the power. Increase the volume of the cylinder, increase the number of cylinders, or increase the pressure in the cylinder, etc. These methods are all possible.

  However, what puzzled Lone Wolf was that the camel machine in front of him was actually a single-cylinder one!

  Sixty horsepower on a single-cylinder boiler?

   This is no joke.

   Lone Wolf said suddenly.

   "What is the maximum horsepower of a single-cylinder diesel engine?"

  Hearing the young professor's question, Brother Levin froze for a moment, then answered subconsciously.

   "I've heard of 30 horses."

  Brother Suo also said: "I remember there were 35 horses."

  Lone Wolf nodded.

"almost."

  In his impression, there seem to be 40 or 45 horses, but they are not common, and the more common ones are actually around 40 horses.

  Agricultural tools do not need such a large horsepower at all, and it is generally impossible to use a camel machine for large equipment with hundreds or thousands of horses.

  The single-cylinder pot machine can actually reach 60 horsepower?

   And the weight is only five hundred kilograms?

  The lone wolf couldn't help shaking his head.

   "I've never seen anything so outrageous."

  Brother Suo said with a smile.

   "It's also the first time I see you."

  Brother Levin scratched his head and said.

   "I don't understand. I didn't understand the light trucks of the Legion before they were dismantled. The design ideas are actually similar. Why is the horsepower of their power equipment bigger than our imitation ones?"

   Picked up a belt, Lone Wolf held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then suddenly muttered to himself.

"…What's this?"

  Brother Levine froze for a moment.

   "This...is the engine belt?"

  Brother Suo also nodded.

"I feel so too."

   This is nonsense.

   Of course the lone wolf knew that the thing in his hand was a belt, but he couldn't tell what material it was made of.

   "It doesn't look like neoprene..."

  It's a pity that he is neither an expert in materials science nor an expert in engines, but because he studies automation design, he has a little understanding of these fields.

   "Not just the belt, but also gaskets, hoses, O-rings... All rubber parts are made of materials that I have never seen before. Is it an overhead setting?"

  Lone Wolf tapped the shell of the cylinder with a wrench, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard the clanging echo.

   "Damn it? Isn't titanium-aluminum alloy added to this shit?"

   Not quite.

   But probably something like that.

  The more the lone wolf studies, the more amazed he becomes.

  The game production team is quite clever, and directly made up some materials that he had never seen before. He couldn't say that it was completely unreasonable for a design that was originally impossible to realize in reality.

  The three pillars of modern technology can basically be summarized as energy, materials, and information. It seems that there are many people who understand IC design, but not everyone can make chips.

  The game production team did not give a solution, but only gave a general direction. The deeper he dug, the more surprised he became.

   Now he finally understands why Yanfeng is so obsessed with this game.

   "Something!"

  Looking at the lone wolf standing next to the machine muttering, Brother Levin and Brother Suo glanced at each other, with strange expressions on their faces.

   "Should we remind him that this is a game? Maybe what he can't figure out is just one line of code."

  Although the two of them sometimes get serious, they are far from this paranoid level.

  Brother Suo scratched the back of his head.

   "Uh, let's wait for him to figure it out."

  You are new.

   is also normal.

When you first came here, there were a lot of things that you didn’t understand. Until a month ago, I was still wondering what kind of cement was used for those houses on the wasteland. It didn’t collapse after two hundred years. It's no wonder.

  Anyway, there are seven other machines of the same type.

  Enough for the two of them to be busy for a while.

  …

  Official website forum:

  Ye Shi: "Crow! Are you here yet?"

  Fujiteng: "Here we are. I just arrived tonight. By the way, Boulder City is really far away. The distance on the map is only 20 kilometers, and it took two days to arrive."

  Tail: "And there is actually a setting to close the city gate at eight o'clock! Fortunately, we arrived before the last ten minutes. (`-д-;)ゞ"

  Sesame paste: "It's really dangerous, just a little bit."

  Sisi: "However, the gate of the city is very lively at night, especially when standing under the huge wall, it doesn't feel like you are in the wasteland at all."

  Tail: "Big city feeling! ψ(｀)ψ"

  Fujito: "We plan to take a rest overnight! We will continue to explore the mysteries of this city tomorrow!"

  Ye Shi: "Hey, it's good to be safe."

   Fang Chang: Squint eyes

   "..."

   Two full days have passed since the caravan set off.

  Two tons of spiritual leaves have been sent to Jushicheng, and Chu Guang learned from Shuyu that Liszt has paid him all 100,000 chips.

  Looking at the spirit leaf, this thing is indeed a hot item in Boulder City. Almost as soon as it was shipped to the warehouse, the buyer came to the door with chips.

  In order to facilitate the transaction, Shuyu opened an account at the Boulder City Bank according to Chu Guang's instructions. The huge sum of 100,000 chips will be completed in the form of a transfer transaction.

   This will be much safer than putting it in a safe.

  In addition, the owner of the gray squirrel clothing store came to the door recently, hoping to purchase another batch of artworks, and said that it would be great if the quality of those socks could be a little worse.

   "Poor quality?"

  During the phone call, after listening to Shuyu's report, Chu Guang said with a strange face, "I've never heard such a strange request."

  Shuyu: "I also find it strange...but he didn't tell me the reason, just asking us to find a way."

"Well, this matter is actually easy to say. The production of devil silk is limited. We originally planned to develop some substitutes for the sinking market." After a pause, Chu Guang continued to ask, "By the way, the recruitment of personnel is carried out. how's it going?"

Shuyu: "According to your instructions, I have recruited 23 employees to take up the field and internal duties respectively. The salary I paid for them was 40 chips per month during the two-month internship period, and 100 chips per month after becoming a full-time employee. chip."

  Personnel salary expenditure is 2300 chips, including the monthly rent of 800 and the expenditure budget of 400 chips, the monthly expenditure of this office has reached 3500 chips.

   This is not a small sum.

   Switched to arms, you can buy nearly thirty rifles.

   Sure enough, I still have to find a way to open up a few more sources of income.

   "Is the employee's resume sorted out?"

  Shuyu: "It's sorted out!"

  Chu Guang said immediately.

   "Send it to me."

   "Good sir!"

   After receiving the resume from Shuyu, Chu Guang glanced at it briefly.

  Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a resume in the talent market in Boulder City, and these personal profiles with photos are just Chu Guang instructing Shuyu to make a simple record of the recruited personnel during the interview.

  For example, ask clearly what the other person did before and what special skills they have. After completing the transcript, you can compare all the information you ask, which can effectively screen out those dishonest interviewers.

  To Chu Guang's surprise, many of them had worked in the factories in Boulder City, and one of their resumes caught his eye.

   "I used to work as a workshop director at the Jushicheng Iron and Steel Plant... Is the information on these resumes highly credible?"

   It's a shame that such a talent works as a back office.

  Although the age in his 40s is a bit older, it is not a problem at all in Chu Guang's view.

  Shuyu said cautiously: "There is no way to verify this, the information on the resume can only be used as a reference. But he gives me the feeling that he has quite a lot of experience in management."

   Chu Guang nodded and continued.

   "You can ask him for me to see if he is interested in coming to work in the steel factory in the northern suburbs. The salary can be tripled."

   Shuyu said seriously.

"I will ask for you, but...according to my observation, these local residents are quite resistant to leaving the giant wall. Except for those mercenaries with a lot of mobility and the poor, few people accept the possibility of leaving Boulder City. field work."

   "It's okay, just ask, don't force too much."

  Chu Guang paused for a moment, then continued.

"In the future, you can go to the talent market in Boulder City more, whether you go there by yourself or send someone, or simply set up a fixed booth there. The factories in Boulder City can't digest the excess talents, we can digest them for them. "

   In short, it’s nothing to dig around.

   Not only talents, but also second-hand equipment that has been eliminated, and everything that is not needed in Boulder City can be collected by the northern suburbs.

  In this way, Boulder City lost the unemployment rate, optimized the talent market with extremely unbalanced supply and demand, and removed excess industrial production capacity.

  Although he suffered a little loss, Chu Guang felt that the problem was not serious.

  What is the spirit of internationalism?

   Of course it is self-sacrifice for others.

   Immediately understood what the manager meant, Shuyu said with a knowing smile.

   "I see, my lord."

   Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

   "Well, as long as you understand what I mean."

  Although he looks younger, this young man named Shuyu is surprisingly capable, saving him a lot of workload.

   After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang browsed around the official website.

   Today's forum is as lively as ever.

  The mole team and the fringe team have arrived in Garbage City. They encountered a myriad's lair on the way, but fortunately they were not in danger.

  More than twenty myriads were all killed. They took off the only valuable gallbladder and skin of those myriads, and then continued on the road.

   There was also a small episode here.

  Although the caravan guards said that the meat of myriads is not edible, Lao Na still roasted a leg out of curiosity.

  Facts have proved that things on the wasteland really cannot be eaten casually.

  Even with a physique of almost twenty points, he vomited for half an hour while holding on to the trunk...

  Except for the two teams of Mole and Edge, the other players are not idle either, each with their own things to do. Brother Quanshui is doing the task of the scientific research team, and helped Yin Fang collect a lot of valuable information. Garbage Lord is playing wild in Yuanxi Town, hitting the bottleneck of LV10.

   There are also life professional players who helped him design the irrigation canal on the north bank of Linghu Lake and the underground drainage system of Changjiu Farm.

  Currently, the engineering team, which is under the knife, is in full swing.

   Among them, what surprised Chu Guang the most was the difficulty of the strongman he sent to the north before.

   After dawdling all the way, the mouse man brother finally arrived in Xizhou City with a group of mouse brothers.

   Although many rats were left behind on the road, it was not a problem for him.

  After arriving at the destination, the strong man quickly relied on his extraordinary fists and non-martial arts tricks to beat the local mouse to the ground. He bowed his head and worshiped him as the king of Xizhou rats.

  The strong man who laid down a piece of land did not stop there. After familiarizing himself with the terrain in the southern suburbs of Xizhou, he quickly established a safe foothold in the southern urban area of ​​Xizhou City with the radio station, dormant cabin, battery and small generator he brought.

  After getting in touch with the signal tower in the refuge, the map information he explored along the way was also synchronized to the server through the VM.

  According to the description in the post, the situation there can only be described in two words: "desolate" and "miserable".

The ruins are filled with a lingering stench. The corpses are thrown on the street at will, or hung on the viaducts and street lamps. Some people have slogans insulting the rebels around their necks. The streets and alleys are full of rats, cockroaches and hyenas. .

  The whole city is like hell!

  “…the Tooth Clan of the Bonechewer Tribe has robbed everything they could get. Except for a few survivors who organized a rebel army in the whole city, they are the only ones left.”

"Based on the style of those looters who eat the last meal and don't care about the next meal, it is estimated that they will not last long, but maybe the think tank of the legion played a role. They began to drive some of the captives to farm. I heard that as long as they can grow food , they won’t be eaten, and those captives are working desperately in the fields.”

   "I really can't bear to eat their crops, and the croissants buried in the ground are not good at all. So I asked my little brothers to restrain themselves and wait for the food to enter the granary before eating."

   "In addition, the entire city is not completely under the control of the Bonechewer tribe. Although they destroyed all the survivor strongholds on the surface, they did not conquer everyone, and some people still survived."

"Those people called themselves the Resistance Army, hid in the sewers and air-raid shelters, fought guerrillas in the ruins, and caused a lot of trouble for the looters. Although the Ya clan sent two thousand-man teams to hunt them down, the results were ineffective. The environment is like a maze."

"The leader of the Ya clan seems to be planning to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou City, and then go south to expand the territory. I am trying to find a way to contact the local survivors. They are not many in number and poorly equipped, but they have a high will to fight. If we If we can give them a little help, they might be able to hold us back from trouble in the north."

"It's not difficult to find them. I now have more than a hundred little brothers. The only thing that gives me a headache now is... How can I convince them of a talking mouse? Damn it, why is it a mouse! If I were a cat Enough!"

  The post is three full pages long.

  Chu Guang read to the end the difficult post, and made a rough summary of the information in it.

  Although Xizhou City fell under the iron hooves of the Bonechewer tribe, it was not completely conquered. There were still many survivors there who were still doing tenacious resistance.

  Because Xizhou City has accumulated a large amount of plundered booty and slaves, the Ya clan who intends to use Xizhou City as a base for going south cannot leave those resistance organizations alone, and can only allocate a large number of people to deal with them.

   This will be a long battle.

  Until they solve their own troubles, they can't spare all their strength to continue going south.

  Looking at the compiled information, Chu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Before, the situation of the entire Xizhou City was completely black to him. No one knew when the predators from the north would come again. We could only analyze the probability that it might be after the autumn harvest.

  According to the information that is difficult for a strong man, Chu Guang can basically be sure that within at least three months, the Bonechewing tribe in the north will not be able to deal with him.

  After sorting out the information in the post, Chu Guang then edited two more intelligence-gathering tasks, and the poster was set as [a difficult task for a strong man].

  However, Chu Guang did not send the task immediately, but set a scheduled sending time, which was delayed until tomorrow morning.

  This will look a little less deliberate.

  “…it might be a good idea to hook up with local survivors and support their resistance movement.”

   Chu Guang touched his chin thoughtfully.

  The south of shelter No. 404 is Boulder City. The space to the south is too small. In addition, the situation in Qingquan City is complicated. If you want to expand, you can only go north.

  Xizhou City is a good choice.

  Whether it is manpower or material resources, there are a lot of reserves there.

  The only problem now is that the number of players is still too small. With the gradual expansion of the strategic depth, 1100 players are obviously not enough.

   "It would be great if we could open the B4 floor!"

  Now is the farming period, whether it is growing vegetables or moving bricks, people are needed.

   Glancing that it was getting late, Chu Guang turned off the computer with regret, got up and went back to his room to sleep.

   That night.

  He had a long, long dream.

  In the dream, there were many strangers whose faces could not be seen clearly, where Dad, Dad called him.

   Annoyed by being shouted at, just when Chu Guang wanted to ask who their mother was, Meng suddenly woke up.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt the heat and stickiness behind him, and Chu Guang immediately guessed what happened.

   No surprises.

   He's leveled up again.

   "...This is too unexpected."

   Sitting up from the bed muttering, Chu Guang moved his limbs to adapt to the strengthened body.

  There is no change in strength, and the speed of thinking seems to be the same as before, but the reaction speed seems to be faster than before, and the vision has also slightly improved.

  So this time the strengthening is agility?

  Just when Chu Guang was recalling what he did yesterday, a row of light blue floating windows suddenly appeared in front of him after a long absence.

   And the text in the floating window also made him really feel what it means to be caught off guard.

  【Mission: Tide! 】

  【Briefing: According to air condition monitoring data, the concentration of mutant slime mold spores active in the air has reached a critical value, and the probability of new brood formation is as high as 97%. This will be a severe test for the survivors of Qingquan City. 】

  【Requirement: The "Tide" will come within two weeks, resist the "Tide" attack, search for and eliminate the brood north of the third ring line, and completely resolve the crisis of the Tide! 】

  【Reward: Shelter No. 404 B4 Floor Permission】

  【Available reinforcements: "200 training cabins" × 2】

   Seeing the task interface from the beginning to the end, Chu Guang froze there.

   Good guy.

   This trouble came at the right time.
