Chapter 293 Can silver coins be exchanged for money? !

   "...An old thing who doesn't know what's wrong, but if I tell the looters that he has a few valuable bionic parts on him, he can still live to this day? He was cut into a stick!"

   Looking at the back walking downstairs, Professor Sun Zewen hummed and limped towards his room.

  The manager of the new alliance has arranged a new job for him, and he can continue to engage in research related to resonance fields and psychic interference devices in the future.

  Chu Guang plans to deploy a mind interference tower near the settlement to drive away mutant hyenas, moles, cockroaches, two-headed dogs, brown bears, jackals, and falcons and other common mutants.

   The specific method is to release fear on them through the resonance field, drive the aliens to the players' hunting grounds, or at least keep them away from farmlands and villages.

   The problem that needs to be solved now is that different organisms have their own specific "frequency". Although there are ready-made data for reference, research is still needed for specific species.

But before that, he had to go back to his room to pack his luggage, and then go to Vault 401 to download the data, and then go to the headquarters of the new alliance - Vault 404, where he started a new Life.

  Yin Fang remained in the control room, flicking left and right at the terminal that manipulated the mind control tower, and kept talking about inconceivable.

   There are too many things in here that confuse him.

   "...How does this thing do it? Does it simulate the frequency of brain waves? No... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with brain waves... What is the medium that can transmit information?"

  Heya was rarely interested, bit her lip, her eyes were full of complexity, as if she was thinking about something.

   As for Chu Guang, he didn't have time to take care of his two subordinates at the moment, but kept staring at the tablet in his hand with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

   The loot this time was pretty amazing.

   An old professor who studies "resonance field theory" and "mental interference device".

  Although Professor Sun Zewen in the pre-war era is unknown, he is still an old popsicle frozen two hundred years ago.

   The other is a researcher who studies bionic organs. Although his personality is a little rigid, or a little silly, it does not affect his ability in the professional field.

   For Chu Guang, the price paid for getting all this is just some contribution points and silver coins.

   It's a **** profit!

  The only fly in the ointment is that the other three residents of Refuge 117 have been killed, and this is the origin of the three skeletons and the iron plaque engraved with the torch at the entrance of the ecological park.

   Refuge No. 401 suffered equally heavy losses. Except for Sun Zewen, who was a wise man, only six residents of the "new generation" survived.

   These six people can be said to have tasted all the evils in the world. They were almost inhumanly tortured by those predators, and even their eyes lost their light.

  Chu Guang assigned them all to Professor Sun Zewen as his research assistant.

   The lifespan of the residents of the Refuge is much longer than that of the Wastelanders. Although these people are not young, after all, they have received the elite education of the Refuge, and their foundation is still much stronger than that of the average Wastelander.

   The related technologies of "resonant field theory" and "mental interference device" must be inherited.

   Obviously, Professor Sun Zewen knew this, so he simply accepted the task that Chu Guang gave him.

   As for the other 109 rescued slaves, most of them were bought by Tusi from slave traders. Chu Guang instructed the cattle and horse team to bring them back to Dawn City along with the captured spoils.

  Adapting to a new life takes time.

  Before giving them back their freedom, Chu Guang first needs to ensure that they can gain the ability to earn a living and not become a hidden danger to society.

  Fortunately, up to now, the new alliance has far more job opportunities than the labor force. A series of measures taken by Chuguang to stimulate the economy has attracted a large influx of businessmen, and both the primary and the secondary and tertiary industries are expanding rapidly.

  Chu Guang has already greeted old Luca, and he will be responsible for placing these poor people later.

   In addition to counting the spoils, with the help of Xiaoqi, Chu Guang briefly sorted out the information collected earlier.

  As he guessed, Torch came here 20 years ago, and copied the relevant research materials of the resonance field from Vault 401.

  Chu Guang's pet named Neeko is wearing a collar that is an improved device based on similar technical principles.

  Although there is no way to control the death claw through the undifferentiated resonance field, but directly inserting the tube into the head is different.

  Because of differences in philosophy and goals, Torch was divided into two groups in Vault 401. One group went south to find specimens of alien creatures, and some people stayed in place to build their homes.

   Later, Professor Zhao Yuan and others who stayed behind rescued a group of refugees who had escaped from Boulder City out of pity—including the Tusi who was torn apart by the trash.

   Then it was nothing more than the story of the farmer and the snake.

   Those refugees were not interested in their ideals at all. With cunning and unexpected sneak attacks, they easily subdued these pampered blue coats and used their skills to rub pills.

   And it was this series of changes that made Professor Zhao Yuan completely lose confidence in the wastelanders.

   As for the alien colony mentioned by the old popsicle named Sun Zewen...

   This is too far for Chu Guang now.

   However, Chu Guang still asked Xiaoqi to update the relevant entries in the official website setting set as a complement to the world view.

  …

   The first basement of the Ecological Protection Park.

  There is an underground passage connected to the nearby subway station, and passengers who come here by rail transit can go directly to the park from the passage.

   But now, this passage, like most subway tunnels in Qingquan, has become a gnaw's paradise.

   At this moment, a beam of light lit up the dark corridor, and the sound of heavy footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

   The gnaws wandering in the darkness cast their gazes at the nasty light source, and hissing growls from their rotting mouths.

   However, before they could get close, thunder-like gunshots rang out in the tunnel.

  Sparks jumped in the tunnel, and the gnaws fell one after another. After a while, there were more than 20 corpses on the ground.

   There was blue smoke from the muzzle, and Chu Guang, who was wearing the power armor, changed the magazines cleanly, and then he fired a burst of fire.

   After the gunshots subsided, he put away the smoking gun, and casually spoke to Professor Sun Zewen who was following behind him.

   "Didn't those looters think about clearing this place?"

   The eardrum was almost shattered, Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his ear with a headache, and it took a while to recover.

"Clean up this place? They don't do those thankless things. Those short-sighted savages just want to make more plastic chips... I also learned later that the survivors in the wasteland are actually using casino chips for money. ."

  Chu Guang: "Not everyone, but Qingquan City is more popular."

  Professor Sun Zewen asked curiously.

"what about you?"

   "We certainly have our own currency."

   The entrance of Refuge 401 is in this corridor. It was disguised as a workshop in the pre-war era, with a sign of "No entry for idlers", and the tourists are only separated by a locked door.

   But now, let alone the door, most of the fist-thick wall has been demolished, leaving only the broken bricks left there, behind which is the half-opened giant alloy door.

   "More than 20 years ago, the power of the shelter ran out, and we had to withdraw from the ground and build a shelter on the surface... This place has been abandoned."

  Professor Sun Zewen took the initiative to walk in front and led Chu Guang to the shelter.

  Because the reactor has been shut down, the back of the gear-shaped alloy giant door is dark, and even the air purification system has entered hibernation, and only a few key functional equipment is still supported by the backup power supply.

  Although Yin Fang had come here to see it before, he only roughly collected the public data stored in the refuge, and did not carefully explore the interior of the refuge.

   Considering that this place will become a new meeting point for players in the future, Chu Guang felt that he had to come here in person.

   The moment Chu Guang stepped into the shelter, a light blue pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

  【Mission: Restart the fusion reactor in Vault 401】

  【Reward: Vault 401 Manager Privilege】

   Looking at the light blue pop-up window that appeared in front of him, a surprised expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

   Good guy.

   As soon as he entered, he triggered the task of obtaining administrator privileges.

   Is it that simple?

   "Refuge 401 has four floors, the first and second floors are living areas, the third floor is entertainment area, and the fourth floor is planting area. Theoretically, the maximum number of people sheltered here is 1,600 people, but in fact it is no problem to accommodate 2,000 people."

  Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

   "One more floor than Vault 117."

  Professor Sun Zewen nodded.

   "Yes, but the budget of Vault 117 is much higher than ours. Their per capita living area can even reach 40 square meters, and we are only half of theirs."

  Speaking of this, there was a hint of emotion on the face of the old man.

"Can't stand the occluded space, many people have chosen to freeze hibernation...including me. However, freezing hibernation can't solve the problem. As the energy reserves gradually fall below the warning line, we have to wake up from hibernation and take advantage of the complete power consumption. Go to the surface to find hope before you do."

   The expression on Chu Guang's face was a little subtle.

   Twenty square meters per capita is also called occlusion?

   Then his Vault 404 was jailed.

   But having so many rooms here has helped Chu Guang a lot.

   Currently, Vault 117 has been converted into a double room by him, and the player capacity has been increased from 500 to 1,000.

   Counting the 2,000 "beds" in Vault 401, as long as 400 more rooms are squeezed out, it will not be a problem to squeeze the new players in the Beta0.1 version!

   Now the top priority is to find the fuel rods, restore the power here, and inherit the administrator rights here.

   Following in the footsteps of Professor Sun Zewen, Chu Guang walked around the shelter.

   Compared to Vault 117, which focuses on comfort, the style here is somewhat of a research institute.

  The area of ​​a single room is between 20 and 30 square meters, with a separate bathroom and refrigerator. There are still unfinished and rotten chocolates and biscuits in the refrigerators of many rooms.

   The living conditions here are definitely not bad.

   There are even cocoa and coffee trees in the orchards of the planting area, but unfortunately, the plants here have long since died.

   But to Chu Guang's surprise, when he walked to the back of the planting area, he found an unexpected surprise here.

   That is a freezer, which stores the seeds of dozens of crops.

  Cacao and coffee seeds are also preserved!

   And the amount of reserves is not small!

   Judging from the flashing light green light, the freezer is still running smoothly.

   "Can the seeds in this still be used?" Chu Guang said excitedly.

  Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Of course, the seed bank is independently powered... Even if the reactor shuts down, the seeds here can be kept for another century or two. In fact, we planted a part of the perimeter of the eco-park... but the predators took over After here, those crops are wasted."

   He didn't know the specific situation there.

   Although the predators gave him a certain degree of freedom, he was not allowed to leave the confines of the ecological protection park, let alone the surrounding forest.

   After visiting the planting area on the B4 floor, Chu Guang had a general understanding of the situation of Vault 401.

  The two returned to the entrance of the shelter.

  Chu Guang glanced at the half-opened giant alloy door, and suddenly asked.

   "How many people were there when your door first opened."

  Sun Zewen thought for a while before answering.

   "About seven hundred."

  Chu Guang said unexpectedly.

   "Is it less?"

  Sun Zewen sighed.

"Those who don't want to hibernate are dying of old age. Those who live are not optimistic enough about the future. There are only a handful of people who are willing to reproduce. I heard that during my hibernation, the manager broke the black box for the production of contraceptives. But it turned out to be of no use at all ... it boils down to the fact that the shelter is too small and there are always all kinds of problems."

  Chu Guang: "What about the rest?"

Sun Zewen: "Most of the first-generation residents died of old age, and some of the new-generation residents died in the tide, some became seriously ill because of unacceptable soil and water, and then the things you already know happened... In short, the only people who are still alive are me. Seven people included."

   After a pause, the old man continued.

   "Administrator of Vault 404, I have a treasure that I intend to dedicate to you."

  Chu Guang glanced at him curiously.

   "What baby?"

  Professor Sun Zewen showed a happy expression on his face.

"Black box! You are the manager, you must know what that is, I won't explain more. One of the black boxes is for the production of blue jackets, and the other is for the production of VMs. The former's variable temperature material is a good thing, the latter is a good thing. It has a wider range of uses, not only can it be converted into a survival tool for various purposes, but it can also recycle carbon nanoelectronic components."

  Chu Guang looked at the old man in surprise.

   "Didn't those looters get them?"

  Professor Sun Zewen smiled.

"Plunderer? How do those vulgar savages know this kind of treasure, I have no reason to tell them those good things... and you are different, you are the manager of the shelter, I believe you will be able to use ours properly heritage."

   "But the problem now is... We had a small situation before. The black box was locked in the manager's office. To open the door of the manager's office, the reactor must first be restarted."

   In other words, if you want to recover the black box, you must first restore the power supply of the shelter?

  Chu Guang said happily.

"thanks for your trust!"

   "I assure you that we will use this heritage properly."

The    scientific expedition team was already searching for clues about the fuel rods. The reply from Yin Fang was that it was not a big problem.

  Although Chuguang already has a black box for producing VMs, who would mind having another one?

   Like the black box for the production of hibernation pods, this versatile thing is of course the more the better.

   As for the black box for the production of blue jackets, it was a surprise to Chu Guang.

  The blue jacket made of variable temperature material can automatically adjust the air permeability and heat dissipation of the material according to the external environment, so that the wearer's body temperature can be maintained in a comfortable range as much as possible.

   From now on, players will no longer have to wear the "out-of-print skin" blue jacket for fear of wearing less and less fabrics!

  …

   "Wasteland OL" official website.

   Today's forum is as lively as ever.

   The reason is that the Jungle Corps posted their battle videos on the forum.

Those sturdy men in heavy armor and armed with machine guns really attracted the attention of many same-sex players, so that at least half of the thousands of new players who made reservations filled out the questionnaire as their first choice. superior.

   In contrast, the Burning Corps suffered a little.

  Although the single-round combat effectiveness of the Burning Corps is obviously higher than that of the Jungle Corps, the personalized configuration of the Corps makes them not sufficiently recognizable in small-scale battles.

to be honest.

  The efficiency of the cooperation between the two tanks is not as strong as the torrent of steel. Ten KV-1 exoskeletons welded with steel plates are lined up in a row, and the picture of the machine gun shooting is enough to make people’s blood boil.

   However, although most of the limelight was taken away by the jungle corps, the mosquito's air raid still amazed many onlookers.

   Especially the incendiary bomb that was dropped at the end made the two factory directors of the No. 81 factory next door directly call it unscientific.

  Yar, I want to go to the toilet: "Damn! Did you get all the incendiary bombs out?"

  Ward beriberi who Levin: "Good buddy, what is your thickener made of?"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Guess! (smile

   Chasing the Soul: "Using sodium soap aqueous solution and aluminum sulfate water to make fatty acid aluminum soap, it's not easy to thicken fuel! Dish!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "???"

   My voice is softer, I Bloom: "It's awesome!!! It's still your punishment!"

   Doomsday Lone Wolf: "I suggest you go to the bureau to prepare a case..."

  The posts of old players mostly revolve around the tactical collocation and gameplay of the Corps system updated in the B round of testing, or discussing the new map in the East District of Qingquan City.

   The entire Eastern District is completely a virgin forest.

   The vegetation density and air humidity here are much higher than those in the north and west of Qingquan City, and a large number of wild alien species are active on the collapsed ruins and jungle-covered streets.

   In addition to the iron-backed ape and the silver-mouthed snake, Brother Fang has summarized several common monsters and updated them in the post for reference by other players.

   This time, it was not just Elder Fang, Gu Feng also wrote an unprecedented post and posted the photo of Vault 401 he took.

   When Yin Fang went to the shelter to recover the data, he happened to receive an **** mission, and the photo was taken at that time.

   "... Vault 401 is the same as Vault 404, the power source is suspected to be a controllable fusion reactor, but because the energy has been exhausted, the refuge is currently in an abandoned state."

"I got the task of finding fuel rods on the scientific expedition team. Here, I recommend that you check the occupation level of the scientific research team when you have time. Although the task cycle of the scientific research team is long, the level goes up and you can complete a whole article. The rewards given by the mission chain are quite rich.”

The wording of    Gale is more subtle.

   Considering that these guys are always clamoring to plan a slash, they did not disclose how much they received from Yin Fang.

   Having said that, even if they know that the mission of the scientific research team is highly profitable, most players still prefer the mission of the Hunter Guild.

   After all, the former is always traveling for more than ten kilometers, going deep into no-man’s land and fighting unknown dangers, and collecting and searching for those files and data whose existence is unknown.

  Even a tiny mistake can lead to a free giveaway for the entire team.

   It is not that you have absolute confidence in the strength of yourself and your teammates. Few non-hardcore players will choose this high-risk and high-reward mission.

   Just as the old players were exchanging their thoughts on the strategy, the newcomers of the B round of testing also posted their own "test comments" in the gossip section where there is no threshold for posting.

  Luoyu: "This game is too difficult. (T▽T

  Qingfeng: "Isn't there any simpler weirdness? Those yowling eaters are too scary. QAQ"

   Bai gave the spy: "Yes, cockroaches are much easier to bully than gnaws. When they came out, there was no sound at all, but they were quiet. (funny

  The sixth old man in the corner: "Hey, the current Mengxin, I can't bear the pain at all! Back then, when we first entered the game, we encountered a wave and started the **** mode directly."

  Quit Smoking: "Damn, stop bragging! When I first entered the game, I was chased and run by gnats, I can't stand it anymore!"

Unprofessional anti-man: "Damn! These guys say that pigs are so cute on the forum every day, and they like pigs very much. As a result, when they meet, they either want to pick up my pants or ask me for a book, which hurts no girls to form a team with me. Gas! ヽ(`Д)”

   It is difficult for a strong person: "Wuwuwu, don't talk about good brothers, this group of Yangou is a real group! If you can't stay any longer, come to Xizhou City, my family is quite big, welcome to play, I will take you to level up."

   Unprofessional anti-man: "Good brother! I'm here! QAQ"

  Irena: "Fast forward to Brother Qiang no. (funny

  Tujito: "There is still a CP that I can't move, I'm still too young. (T▽T

  Crowd: "???"

  Oooo sesame paste: "Meow meow?"

  …

   Vault 404.

It took    an entire morning for Chu Guang to move the manager's office to the browsing room on the B4 floor.

   There are not only ready-made furniture, but also a separate shower room, and the space is large enough, and the environment is much better than his previous simple office.

   Anyway, this floor is not suitable for opening to other players. It is also idle if you are idle. It is better to make use of the space here.

   Sitting on the soft sofa, Chu Guang drank the happy water that he endorsed, and browsed the official website forum to see what new work his little players had done that he did not expect.

   It has been a week since the beta round test started.

   In the past four days, 30~40 new players have entered the game every day, and now the number of players on the server has grown from 1500 to 1620.

   "Will it break through 2,000 people in two weeks?"

  Chu Guang glanced at the tablet beside him.

  The above lists the expenses of each department last week.

   One of the most striking lines is the task expenditure.

   In the past week, the quest income sent by the shelter to all players has reached nearly 900,000 silver coins.

   And the per capita daily income of players has also increased to 97 silver coins.

   Of course, this number is mainly driven by players in the T0~T2 echelon. The income growth curve of players before LV10 is still relatively flat.

  Chu Guang also discovered it recently.

  Inflation caused by giving money to players is actually not as high as expected.

   On the one hand, players have an internal circular economic system. The money earned by player A is either spent with player B, or is consumed in the NPC store that is "collectively managed by the sanctuary", and a small part will flow directly into the market.

   Another is that the players neither need to support their families nor have children. At most, they eat a lot. In addition, everyone has the habit of saving money. In fact, their spending power is not as high as imagined.

  The warehousing balance system established by Chuguang in the early version has stabilized the prices of basic materials such as grain and minerals to a certain extent.

   After several rounds of updates and adjustments, this system has been developed relatively well.

   But it is unrealistic to expect one solution to all problems.

   As the number and level of players continue to rise, new problems have gradually emerged.

  It takes a long time for new players to collect a set of equipment, and it takes half a month to complete a set of equipment. The old players have too many silver coins in their pockets to spend, and they have to increase the price of high-end equipment.

  How to let new players get enough game experience, and make old players more motivated to make money?

   is simple.

   Build a "reservoir" and put excess silver coins into it.

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened up, tapped on the keyboard, and created a new folder.

  【Update of Beta0.2: Silver Coin Trading System】

  [Change: Players who have obtained VMs can digitize their silver coin assets, synchronize them to the official website forum account in real time, and trade with other players in the form of digital currency. 】

  [Note: Cloud players can also participate in transactions. 】

   Of course, this is only the first draft, and the specific transaction rules still have to be carefully designed. But these are small problems, and there are too many cases to learn from.

   Looking at the edited document, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

  Although it is not convenient for him to directly send RMB to the players who work hard, there are always people who can do these things for him.

  What chips, dinars, CRs are a hammer.

   Can your native currency be converted into money?

  Chu Guang will not only give players a reason to work harder to make money, but also let them obediently hand over the foreign exchange they earned from other survivors’ settlements to him.

   As the value of silver coins grows, there should be more “easy to use” professional players born in the future.

   "Don't you think you can't afford equipment?"

   "Aren't you clamoring for PY every day?"

   "It's open, let's play."
