Chapter 285 to the upcoming Alpha version!

  After researching for a while, Chu Guang finally figured out what the purpose of the pillar-like terminal in front of him was.

   Simply put, it is the entrance for players to project their consciousness into this world.

   It is equivalent to the "Wasteland OL" server.

  The 3,000 usable gene sequences stored in it can be understood as 3,000 "game activation codes".

  After the player logs in to the game, the mirror image of the consciousness body is cached on this "server". As for the training cabin, in addition to providing information services for players, it is more like an information node.

  The helmet, the player's real body, the server, the training cabin, and the clone form a "field" together, and an invisible "string" is connected in series between the five.

  The medium of information transmission is not electromagnetic waves or optical signals, and maybe even the way of information transmission itself is a technology that Chu Guang does not understand.

  And this is also the reason why the power failure of the training cabin will cause the player to be disconnected, and each consciousness can only control one clone.

  Of course, this is just Chu Guang's speculation.

  The first-generation manager did not explain to him the technical principles of these devices, nor did he explain how he delivered the helmets to the players.

   "Three thousand game 'activation codes'...should be further unlocked, right? It's not like there are only so few things in the entire server." Swiping his index finger on the touch screen, Chu Guang thought to himself.

   It's not that he's greedy.

  He just thinks that he can spend a lot of time to send the helmet to the players, and can also establish a strong connection between the player and the clone, just to release thousands of gene sequences?

  He didn't believe it.

  Waving away the light blue holographic screen, Chu Guang's eyes fell on the four black boxes.

  The game activation code is available.

  The game account is still missing.

   Not surprisingly, the answer should be right there.

  As Chu Guang expected, the largest black box among them—

   is used to synthesize the training cabin!

  …

   "Follow the instructions in the manual, put in iron ingots, aluminum ingots, graphite...etc. Eleven kinds of materials in turn, and add 100L of water, please ensure uninterrupted power supply, and put the black box in a ventilated place."

  The warehouse on the B3 floor.

  Beside the black cube covering an area of ​​20 square meters.

  Three warehouse workers are inputting materials into the black box under the command of Yin Fang through a simple and easy-to-understand operation process.

  Although it is a graphic tutorial that a fool can understand, it doesn't matter whether there is Yin Fang or not, but Chu Guang always feels that there is an expert by his side, which will make him feel at ease.

  The black box hummed slightly.

  After waiting for a while, two brand-new cultivation cabins were sent out from the conveyor belt at the outlet at the same time, and lay quietly on the open space of the warehouse.

  Seeing everything in front of them, the faces of the three aborigines showed surprise expressions, as if they had seen some incredible miracle.

   What was put in it was nothing more than a pile of metal ingots.

   What came out was one... Well, they didn't know what the two iron lumps were for, but this didn't prevent them from being surprised by the changes before them!

  This is incredible!

   More magical than juggling!

  Thinking of this, the three of them secretly glanced at Chu Guang, and there was a trace of awe in their respectful eyes, as if they were looking at a god.

   As expected of a manager!

  Although they didn't understand at all, they were shocked.

  Yin Fang also had an expression of interest on his face.

  Of course he knows what the black box is, but this does not prevent him from being curious about the things produced by the black box.

  Academy’s black boxes are either producing exoskeletons, or drones, or ray guns, or some gizmo with obvious purpose and single function.

   However the black box here is different.

  Before coming to Qingquan City, he had never seen so many black boxes with "weird functions".

  For example, the two iron boxes in front of me.

  Go up and look left and right at the two training cabins. Yin Fang studied for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this thing is for.

   "Unbelievable... How many black boxes do you have?! And what is this iron box? A coffin?"

  Chu Guang did not answer his question, one was because he did not know, and the other was because it was inconvenient to answer.

  He glanced at the time on the VM, and silently calculated the production speed of the training cabin, but his heart sank slightly.

   "The maximum production capacity in a single day is 40 units, calculated on the basis of 30 days a month... a maximum of 1,200 players can be released in a month."

   As for the cost, it made Chu Guang's brow ache even more.

  The black box drawn this time comes with a fusion battery, and the cost of electricity is temporarily ignored, after all, this cannot be calculated.

  The material cost alone is as high as 2000 silver coins!

  Equivalent to the cost of three dormant cabins!

  Steel and aluminum are very cheap, and copper is barely OK, and the supply is very stable. However, nickel, molybdenum, and other rare metals are not so cheap.

  If the production capacity is full, it is equivalent to increasing the expenditure of 8W silver coins every day, which is 240W silver coins in one month!

   But looking at it from another angle, a two-headed bull costs three to four thousand or even four to five thousand silver coins, and a player with two thousand silver coins is much more capable than a two-headed bull.

  Cheap and self-conscious bionics cost at least tens of thousands of chips, and the value that a player can create far exceeds that of bionics.

  Is 2000 silver coins expensive?

   Not expensive at all.

   As for spending 240W more per month...

   At first glance, it seems that there are too many, but in fact there are quite a lot, but it is not a big problem!

  First of all, this fiscal expenditure is different from other fiscal expenditures. It is not directly invested in the market and will not directly cause inflation.

  Secondly, as long as Chu Guang can find a way to obtain a steady stream of resources from the outside and increase the financial revenue of the shelter, as long as the price of industrial raw materials does not fluctuate greatly, it is still very easy to fill this hole.

   It’s okay to say that you really have no money. At worst, you can stop the production line for a while, and it’s okay to continue when you have money.

   "In order to summon more players, Vault 404 needs to strengthen its regional influence and military presence in Honghe Town!"

   "When the situation is appropriate, Honghe Town can be considered for inclusion in the second recovery area of ​​the 'New Alliance'!"

   Currently, the Refuge maintains a military base in Honghe Town. At first, it was just to find something for the players to do and earn some extra money, but it turned out to be a surprise.

   "...But now the training cabin needs to be produced by itself, and the qualification distribution mode of the B-round test has to be slightly adjusted."

  Looking at the two training cabins in the warehouse, Chu Guang thought to himself.

  For example, from a one-time large-scale investment account, it is changed to release 40 per day based on the version cycle. The current version of 3,000 accounts will only be sent out, when will he get more activation codes, and when will the next round start.

  Now the number of players is gradually increasing, and has reached four digits. Maintaining a continuous double-digit daily growth is indeed more in line with the current needs of the shelter than explosive growth.

   This thing is like the population. It is a burden to increase too much at one time. Everyone desperately rolls up. It doesn’t work if it doesn’t increase at all. If no one rolls up the boss’s car, who will come to fuel.

  Someone has to do the basic work.

   Novice tasks below 10 silver coins are too low-yield for veteran players, but they are still very good for new players.

  The work efficiency of the players is three times or more than that of the ordinary aborigines. Even if the slaves are tired, they will relax for a while, but the players only see the progress bar in their eyes!

  The most important thing is that the newbies are cute.

  Chu Guangchao likes them.

   Seeing that Chu Guang hadn't paid attention to him, Yin Fang made a helpless expression, gave up asking about the function of the training cabin, and instead studied the other three black boxes.

  The second black box is the same as the one found in the warehouse on the B3 floor. It is used to produce dormant cabins. The daily production capacity is 20 to 24 units. The cost is cheap and the maintenance is cheap. It can be used to scan and record the DNA expression of the whole body cells.

   Black boxes are not unique, and overlapping functions are not uncommon.

  A player can only have one training cabin, but the dormant cabin can serve multiple players in different periods of time.

  The resurrection point is suitable for deployment in the rear, but the save point can be deployed directly on the front line, or even placed next to the ammunition depot.

   Chu Guang is quite satisfied with the doubling of the production capacity of the dormant cabin. In the future, the demand for the dormant cabin will definitely be much greater than that of the training cabin.

   This thing can replace sleeping bags and become a must-have artifact for players to travel at home. After the number of save points is sufficient, Chu Guang will consider opening the dormant cabin to players with contribution points above citizens.

  The money earned is just to subsidize the production of the training cabin.

  The products of the first two black boxes are related to the players, but the third black box is slightly different, and basically has nothing to do with the clones of the players.

  However, its value is not less than the first two. Not only Yin Fang was excitedly amazed, but even Chu Guang showed a surprised expression.

   "X-4 polymer fiber!" Yin Fang's face was full of envy, and he couldn't help saying, "Damn...you have too many good things!"

  X-4 polymer fiber!

  B-level technology!

  It only needs to input wood, water and a large amount of electricity into the black box, and it can stably produce X-4 polymer fiber, and the by-products are carbon dioxide and possible methane!

  X-4 fiber has a wide range of uses. It can be used as a non-static barrier fabric in chemical protective clothing, and it can also be broken and used to replace ordinary fibers to make smokeless gunpowder and increase the detonation speed of gunpowder!

   This X-4 version of smokeless powder is especially suitable for use as a propellant for shells, rockets or bullets!

  Before, with the help of the Pioneer, the outpost obtained a pile of X-4 fibers from the carbon dioxide trap, but with the advancement of industrialization, there is not much left.

   Now that it has the ability to produce independently, the power of the LD-47 series weapons and the light and heavy cavalry guns produced by No. 81 Steel Plant will undoubtedly rise to another level!

   And it's a stable enhancement!

  Chu Guang glanced at Yin Fang who was full of envy, and asked with great interest.

   "Can't the academy produce X-4 fiber?"

"The output is not high, the intermediate process is complicated, and it is very expensive!" After giving a three-sentence evaluation, Yin Fang's eyes fell into memories, and he continued, "...I remember buying a set of X-4 fiber fabric protection I have saved two months' salary."

   It can save a D-level prospector two months' salary, which should be relatively expensive.

  Chu Guang remembered hearing from Yin Fang that the highest level of prospectors in the academy was D-level, and he could lead an independent expedition team out for archaeological research.

Although the level and authority of D-level prospectors are not high, their income is slightly higher than that of C-level researchers in non-core laboratories, and because they often have access to first-hand information, the promotion speed and opportunities are also higher than those of the same level. Researchers are much faster.

  However, this has nothing to do with Yin Fang.

  Before, Yin Fang missed the college quite a lot, but since he watched the video of Dr. Li and Chu Guang appointed him as the dean of the No. 404 branch of the college, he has not been so homesick.

  Doing archaeology for others, how can you feel comfortable directing others to do archaeology?

   Here he is not only the leader of the "scientific expedition team", but also does not have to take the blame for his incompetent boss.

  This is so delicious!

  Yin Fang then looked at the last black box, which was also the smallest of the four black boxes.

   Its length and width are equivalent to the arm and forearm of an adult, and its thickness is only one palm.

   This is also the smallest one recovered from Vault 404 so far, even smaller than the one recovered from Vault 117.

   It’s really only the size of a suitcase!

   And its products are quite special.

   According to the fool-like graphic tutorial printed on the black box, the workers successively input 100g of graphite, 10L of water, a little iron filings and other materials.

   After about an hour, a syringe with a capacity of about 10ml was slowly sent out from the outlet.

   A pale yellow solution swirls in the syringe.

  Yin Fang held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then said curiously.

"What's this?"

   "Induced expression of serum..."

   Softly read the line of small characters on the black box, and a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Guang's eyes.

  He probably already guessed the purpose of this thing.

  However, the specific clinical effect has to be further demonstrated by professionals.

   "Leave the serum to Heya to study...that's her field of expertise, and she should be very interested."

   After finishing speaking, Chu Guang then looked at the three warehouse workers standing aside, and continued to give instructions.

   "From now on, you are in charge of the production of these four black boxes. I will assign some more manpower to you, and you can decide how to allocate them. I only have one request, that is, three shifts must be guaranteed, and the machines will be turned on 24 hours a day!"

  Seeing that the manager entrusted him with such an important task, the three of them were flattered, and all of them had serious expressions on their faces.

   "Don't worry, my lord!"

   "I am willing to swear with my life that I will complete the task you have given me!"

"Me too!"

  Looking at the loyal three, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

   "I trust you guys."

   It doesn't take much culture to operate a black box.

  Even mutants can understand the foolish tutorials on the black box, let alone workers who have been trained in literacy classes.

   Although this kind of production equipment designed for the end of the world is precise, it is not delicate, and it is still a bit difficult to break it.

  The aborigines who can enter the refuge are all loyal people "recognized by VM" without exception.

  In addition, there are cameras everywhere in the shelter, and Xiaoqi will report to herself immediately if any problems occur, basically ensuring nothing goes wrong.

  …

"...Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House. Today, the West Third Ring Road is calm and the temperature is 13°. A light rain has made the air much fresher. We have reason to believe that the air will be better in the future. The tide, the fog, and the rotten stench will be over before the end of the month!"

"Let us cheer for the Lord of the City, for the head of the militia, and for General Zhao Yongxu and his militia who fought **** battles on the front line. Thanks to them conquering one nest after another, today's Boulder City can be so calm. "

   "I can't remember whether that number is 51 or 54. In short, there are very, very many. Counting the annihilated alien species and evolutionary bodies, their battle results are too many to count! Praise the city owner!"

   "There is no big news today, and nothing major happened in the southern part of the River Valley Province... But you are all clamoring to hear about the situation in the north, so I'd better talk a little bit about it."

   “Thanks to our plane, the rednecks there got away with it. But they seem to think it’s their fault, and they’re celebrating.”

   "Our observers saw them smearing blood on the windows and doors, leaving blood all over the house... What a rough bunch!"

   "If you must go north, you'd better avoid them!"

  The hissing and hoarse electric voice and the oily voice performed alone in the empty reception room.

  The outpost outside the reception room is full of lights and festoons.

  A grand celebration is going on.

  A little announcer far away in Boulder City only guessed a fifth, and people here are not just celebrating hard-won victories.

   At the same time, it is also celebrating the arrival of a great era.

  From the square in front of the nursing home to the commercial street at the north gate, a dark crowd gathered, and the survivors from the northern suburbs gathered from all directions like a pilgrimage.

  Some just wanted to admire the honor of the manager himself, while others heard that there was a big event to be announced tonight, so they wisely rushed to grab a place in the front.

  In addition to the local survivors, there are also some scavengers from other small and medium-sized survivor villages around to join in the fun, or merchants and mercenaries from more distant areas.

  Sun Shiqi also mixed in the crowd.

  Looking at the crowd of people, his wide eyes were filled with astonishment, wishing to fall out of their sockets.

  There have never been so many people in the northern suburbs.

   Never before have so many people gathered together.

  He still remembered that the last time he came here, it was so desolate that it wasn't even a small village.

  Not to mention the well-dressed guards who maintained order on the scene, they couldn’t even make up a few iron-pipe rifles at that time, and they had to buy the small water hose with the wheel in Honghe Town!

   So much so that Sun Shiqi at the time suspected that these blue coats were pretended by a group of refugees who occupied the magpie's nest!

   "It's incredible..."

   Sun Shiqi, who was squeezed to the point of suffocation, kept chanting excitedly.

   What a huge market this is!

   "Yeah, it's incredible."

   A familiar voice came from the side, and Sun Shiqi looked sideways, and saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

   "Are you here too?"

  Standing behind his brother Frost Furnace, Frost River bent his mouth.

   "Is it strange that my home is here?"

  When she said this, her voice was somewhat proud.

  Sun Shiqi wanted to have a few words with this little girl, but found that the powerful man standing in front of him was staring at him.

  That look was obviously filled with suspicion.

   Sun Shiqi, who was suffocated by the squeeze, gave a dry cough, and just showed a harmless smile on his face, but the people had already been squeezed to other places.

   The crowd gathered here was at least two or three thousand people.

  And those local survivors who did not show up at the scene also gathered in the town hall of Changjiu Farm or the castle on Beit Street.

   There is a "TV" made up of VM screens.

  Although the screen is not big, it is easier to see clearly than a crowded scene.

  At this moment, in the square in the center of the crowd.

  Chu Guang, wearing azure blue power armor, stood on the third floor of the repairing nursing home, where there was an unsealed wall.

   Usually Xiao Qi stands here.

   If there is nothing else, Chu Guang will occasionally come up to stay with it for a while, and use the drone to watch what the players are doing.

  Although the outpost has been well-built, and the commercial street in the north has expanded all the way to the edge of the cattle and horse brick factory, but this sanatorium is still the same as when it first opened.

  Standing in the crowd, Lao Bai looked up at the nursing home in front of him, with a nostalgic expression on his face.

   "I repaired the window on the second floor."

   "What's the matter, I repaired the wall on the first floor." Liuren under the knife said with a smile.

  In the beginning, the construction team leader was Lao Bai, but later he became a civil engineer. Let alone a nursing home, more than half of the houses in the outpost were built by him leading the construction team.

  Old Bai laughed.

   "It doesn't matter! I burned the bricks and cement!"

  Ye Shi said helplessly.

   "Do you even compare this?"

   "That's right," Fang Chang glanced at them both, "Ye Shi thinks you two are naive."

  Ye Shi suddenly jumped up like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on: "Get out! What do you mean I am childish?! Old things are jealous of my youth?"

   Quit smoking: "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

  Seeing Ye Shi, who was blushing and arguing, Kuangfeng couldn't help but snorted, probably laughing.

  The [Doomsday Lone Wolf] standing next to the wind looked at the power armor curiously. He was not curious about the celebration, but only about that thing.

   "That thing is really powered by nuclear fusion?"

  Guangfeng glanced at him.

   "Yes."

  The lone wolf glanced at the wind in surprise.

   "I thought you'd be more curious than me."

  Guangfeng didn't answer this sentence, but the lone wolf always felt that there was something unspoken in his expression.

   Not far away, Rourou excitedly raised his tail and sis, his huge body stood out from the crowd, but both the aborigines and the players were not surprised by this big white bear.

   I heard that it was awarded a medal by the administrator for transporting ammunition on the front line.

   Whenever talking about this anecdote, the aborigines can't help feeling that this is a good place full of tolerance. As long as you work hard enough, even bears can live like people.

   "See? See?"

   "Wow, thank you Rourou! Rourou is awesome!"

   "I see, I see! Ooooh, this is too high!"

   "Wait, where is Fujiteng? Why is Fujiteng gone?" Rourou looked around anxiously, but soon saw her with an excited face on Yaya's shoulder.

  Take a ladder.

  The basics of FPS games.

  The only regret is that the model of this game is too realistic, and the physical effects and collision volume are too real. If you step on the head of your teammate, you will not be able to stand firmly.

   Stretched his neck and looked forward, Fujitō, who was usually quiet, was extremely excited today, and his emotions were high.

   After all, it was a celebration that she personally organized!

   This is much more fun than planning a company team building event!

   "How long is it?"

   "There are still two minutes... Yay, don't touch my hair, it's going to be messed up!" Yaya looked around nervously.

  I heard that there are drones shooting PV around. As a commemorative video for the end of the A-round test, all online players have footage.

  This is an opportunity to be on the official CG!

   Yaya deliberately changed into her favorite clothes.

  She doesn't want to be in the mirror with messy hair.

  It is five fifty-eight in the evening.

   There are only two minutes left before the celebration begins.

   Not only the aborigines were waiting eagerly, all the players were looking forward to the manager standing on the third floor and Xiao Qi beside him.

   Cutscene CG!

  B round of testing!

   New version of gameplay!

   Hurry up! -

   (Thanks to "Lavochkin" for the Silver League!! The boss is awesome! The title is more than thirty-five characters, I tried several times and couldn't add it T.T)

  (end of this chapter)
