Chapter 347 Aviation fuel is a big problem

  Official website forum.

  The members of the Cattle and Horse Squad who went offline in advance chat on the gossip board.

The reason was that Brother Ye Shi’s reply to the announcement on the official website was accidentally seen by an acquaintance. In order to justify that he was not giving it for nothing, but because the difficulty design of the map was too outrageous, he made a post on the gossip section, describing how dangerous the situation was at that time .

  Just when Ye Shizheng was talking about how thousands of drones surrounded them in the building, and how he fought and retreated to cover the evacuation of his teammates, the ID of Kuangfeng suddenly appeared in the post.

  Guang Feng: "I was wondering if it would be too boring for you to come down alone, but I didn't expect you to be blown on the official website. (Squint eyes

   Tyrannosaurus Warrior has been blackened: "Hahaha! I know it's fake!"

  Yes, little rebel: "I expected it! None of these Europeans can speak reliably!"

  The post was flooded with laughing replies.

  Although 90% of the people who pour water on the forum at this point have never entered the game, it does not prevent them from booing.

  These hateful European emperors!

  Eat me with a spear!

  Ye Shi certainly ignored the ridicule from the players in the cloud. With a move of his index finger, he changed the display settings to "Only browse the replies of beta players".

   This is a new function developed by Guangge in previous versions.

  The world is instantly clean.

   Ye Shi, who pretended nothing happened, continued typing.

   "Damn it?! Strong wind? Why did you come down?"

  Guang Feng: "After recovering Luo Yu's VM, we were going to return along the same route, but when we left the building, we encountered a large number of evolutions..."

  Guangfeng briefly described the situation at that time.

  Not long after they left the building, more than a dozen slime mold-infested biped robots followed them.

  Although the weapon systems of these robots have been paralyzed, the mutant slime molds endowed them with new weapons—tentacles.

   Then there are "snails" who use the magnetic levitation car as a snail shell in the middle of the road, and "slime monsters" who are uglier than Zack fill the entire alley.

  In comparison, what kind of eaters and crawlers are simply weak!

   Same as those "slime mold drones".

  The combat modes of most slime mold fruiting bodies can be summarized into three stages: "rushing into the target", "melee combat", and "eating organ bites".

  Part of the evolved body with the characteristics of the mother can assimilate the "heretic" into its own unit by injecting spores into the body of the "heretic".

   Very few alien species rely on "corrosive liquid" or "self-explosion" to damage the target, but most of these alien species exist in the form of traps, and their mobility is very weak.

  These fighting methods sound a little primitive, but it is this primitive fighting method that has caused great trouble for the team that went deep into the third ring.

   The vitality of the slime mold species is ridiculously strong, and its HP is more than one zero more than the player.

  After merging with the high-tech products of the Prosperous Era, those "evolved bodies" have acquired powerful hard protection capabilities and a maneuvering method that is beyond ordinary things.

  And this also led to those evolutionary bodies being like source warriors, each of them having ridiculously strong fighting power.

   "...In short, fortunately, we didn't encounter any monsters wearing power armor like the Corrupt Knight. We rushed to the extraction point immediately after recovering the mission props."

   "However, there was an accident on the way back. As expected, the intelligence department's motor ability is still weak... Well, the basic situation is like this."

  Compared to Ye Shi's exaggerated narrative style, the professor of physics speaks more reliably. It's just that for the specific cause of his death, Feng Feng only briefly mentioned it, and refused to elaborate.

  Luo Yu: "Hey, it's too miserable."

  Ye Shi: "Then your robot..."

  Guang Feng: "I asked Fang Chang to cut off my arm."

  Ye Shi: "Awesome!"

  Although it is a basic operation, but being able to say such words with a calm face is also very strong in a sense...

   At this moment, the ID of quitting smoking suddenly appeared

   "Good guy, it's okay if you've been chatting for hundreds of floors!"

  Ye Shi: "Damn! Why did your physique come down?"

  Smoking Quit: "Hey, don't mention it. I touched the corpse with my hands, but it didn't cool down, and it rushed over with a whoosh, and I was gone!"

  Gust: "..."

   Quit smoking: "Cough, don't worry... Lao Bai and Fang Chang should be fine, we were not far from the evacuation point at that time."

  Guang Feng: "Hey, my request is not high... as long as there is one person alive."

  Guangfeng, who has always been reticent, couldn't help but pray for his teammates this time.

  Experience doesn't matter, but the equipment must not explode.

  Diligent and thrifty housekeeping is a trait shared by every "Wasteland OL" player.

   Actually, it's not that the players don't want to spoil it, the key is that there is no such condition.

  Mass-produced products like the LD-47 assault rifle are okay, if they break down, just buy one, but some weapons with [rare] or even [special] prefixes, if they explode, I don’t know where to buy them!

  In terms of dog planning, considering the risk of the task and deciding whether to use high-value equipment is itself a part of the game.

  The post quickly went wrong.

  Seeing that the T0 combat power of the entire server is being abused so badly by the aliens in the third ring, the players in the post and the cloud players started a new debate.

Does the future of the   version lie in "gene enhancement" or in "mechanical ascension"...

  …

   While the discussion in the post was in full swing, the two surviving members of the Ox and Horse Squad finally returned to Dawn City under the **** of Brinkman and his teammates.

  The harvest this time is quite amazing.

  The cow and horse team not only brought back the VM of the missing pilot, the tissue samples of the slime mold variant in the third ring road of Qingquan City, but also brought back a large number of illustrated books and wreckage of the evolved body!

   Especially the latter.

   Not only can it enrich the setting collection of the official website of "Wasteland OL", so that cloud players can eat more cakes, but also provide a lot of research materials for the scientific research team.

  The remains of those evolved bodies are like living fossils.

  They use their bodies to record the form and working methods of high-tech products in the era of prosperity.

   This will undoubtedly be of great help to the new alliance whose scientific research relies entirely on archaeology!

  Because Yin Fang was repairing fuel rods in Xizhou City, and he couldn’t come back for the time being, Chu Guang temporarily sent these samples to the medical laboratory and handed them over to Heya for research.

   As for Yin Fang, Chu Guang asked him to help analyze the data of the pilot VM.

   Regarding Luo Yu's crash, Chu Guang always felt a little strange.

  Especially based on the pilot's own description on the forum, he was convinced of his guess.

   That glider did not crash by accident.

   was shot down by something...

   Without waiting for a long time, Yin Fang quickly completed the analysis of the data.

  In the communication channel, he spoke.

   "You guessed it right, your small plane was indeed shot down, and it was killed by a weapon like EMP."

  EMP? !

   Just that wooden glider?

  The expression on Chu Guang's face was full of weirdness.

  Be reasonable.

   As for the airplane made by mosquitoes, its structure is so simple that it couldn’t be simpler.

   Except for the battery and a few dashboards that are a little bit technical, the electronic degree of the rest of the components is almost close to 0.

   As we all know, without anti-electromagnetic pulse protection, the smaller the electronic device is, the stronger the killing effect of electromagnetic pulse will be.

  EMPs are pretty limited on thick brick-and-mortar "big phones" and old radios.

   Not to mention the wooden plane designed by Mosquito.

   "Are you sure you read it right?"

   "I'm sure, and I'm very sure, if I can even get the data written in the 'black box' wrong, I've lived for more than 20 years in vain."

   Paused for a moment, Yin Fang continued, "Although it sounds strange, judging from the data traces of VM, the time of encountering the electromagnetic pulse almost coincides with the time of the strong impact."

   "It is reasonable to speculate that the electromagnetic pulse should cause the signal positioning component of the VM to fail. Due to the low visibility of the environment, the pilot lost his judgment on the direction, and eventually the crash occurred."

   "...that makes sense." A trace of solemnity was written on Chu Guang's face.

  If the cause of the crash was an EMP attack, there are only two possibilities left.

  Either he was an evolution within the third ring road, or the old iron from Boulder City gave him a rocket.

  The latter is less likely.

  After all, using electromagnetic pulse weapons to attack modern equipment is equivalent to using nuclear bombs as fireworks.

   And it doesn't necessarily work.

   But if it's an evolution...

  Chu Guang couldn't imagine how those mutant slime molds did it.

  Seeing that Chu Guang did not speak, Yin Fang continued to talk about his own views.

"...To be honest, I am really impressed with those nasty slime molds. Whether it is the parasites on Bucky, or the power armor and tanks that appear in the wave, those slime molds show the ability to learn and adapt to the environment , and even gave me a kind of..."

   Speaking of this, Yin Fang was stuck for a while, as if he was thinking about what word to use.

  Chu Guang could probably guess what he wanted to say, but he still asked.

   "A kind of what?"

   “A sense that…they are better suited for this planet than we are.”

   After a pause, Yin Fang continued in an uncertain tone.

   "Didn't you find out? We are archaeological, and they are actually archaeological. Although they use a completely different method from ours, they are actually drawing nutrients from our ancestors."

"The first-generation evolutionary body still needs to rely on external objects to strengthen itself. For example, the decayed knight we met before, its power comes from the armor that wraps it. Although it is a bit difficult to deal with, the amount of power armor It is limited, and if one is solved, there will be one less.”

   "However, by the second generation, they no longer need to rely on external objects, but can develop a copycat version of 'power armor' by themselves, and reproduce on a large scale... You should know what I'm talking about."

   Chu Guang said thoughtfully.

   "You mean 'tyrant'?"

  The name that turned the faces of countless wastelanders.

  In one-on-one situations, even the Awakened can find it tricky. It is difficult for ordinary 7mm bullets to cause effective damage to it, and it can be dealt with with large-caliber light and heavy "riding guns" at medium and long distances, but there are almost no particularly effective means at close range.

  Yin Fang on the other end of the communication channel nodded.

   "Exactly!"

  According to the previous research of the medical laboratory, the tyrant can be seen as two fruiting entities.

  The shape of the inner fruiting body is similar to that of an immature gnawer, while the outer fruiting body is a **** armor with self-healing function.

  Although the imitation is quite poor, many similarities can prove that the tyrant evolved from the "rotten knight".

  “…The tyrant is the most typical example. We can find the relationship between behavior, sociology and biology between the decayed knight and the tyrant.”

"This huge 'hive' has evolved tens of thousands of evolutionary bodies to realize the division of labor in society. Although their imitation of us is clumsy, it is only now. Historical experience tells us that everything Development is from immaturity to maturity."

   "I don't even dare to assume what it will be like a century later, and what the third-generation evolutionary body will be like."

   "Unlike the mutants who gave up being human, they are becoming us, assimilating us, and trying to replace us."

  Yin Fang sighed softly.

   “This is the most chilling…”

  …

  Dawn City Industrial Zone, the factory of Goblin Technology.

   The mosquito sitting on a pile of parts and blackboards, and his four self-taught "apprentices" are still losing their hair for the tasks assigned to them by the managers.

  If you want to break through the limit of speed, you must first solve the problem of the engine.

  The most ideal situation is directly on the turbojet.

  However, even a turbojet with a simple structure must include compressors, combustion chambers and turbines.

  The operating temperature of the fan blades and compressor blades is not too harsh, and A3 aluminum alloy can be used directly, but the turbine blades have to be careful.

  The working temperature of thousands of degrees will greatly reduce the strength of steel and titanium, so nickel can only be selected.

  However, even single crystal nickel alloys are at risk of melting in high heat operating environments, so the blades are often cast with tiny internal channels and holes.

  This is a complicated process, which not only has extremely strict requirements on the material itself, but also on the casting process.

   Fortunately, Factory No. 81 said that they could help to find a way to solve the problem of engine blades.

   It is unrealistic to get the MiG engine out, but it is still possible to get the MiG grandpa—"Ta183" out.

   Sufficient numbers of long-endurance jet missiles—or jets, at least—could give the new alliance a small advantage in the air.

  The help of friends and merchants is undoubtedly a happy event for Goblin Technology.

  Being able to make the blades out would cut their troubles with turbojet engines in at least half.

However…

   Before the mosquito had time to be happy, it immediately realized a more serious problem than the engine.

   They have no fuel!

  In reality, there are many aerospace fuels to choose from.

   But this is wasteland.

  The oil of the new alliance is mainly produced by camu plantation, however this kind of biomass oil is too "light" and lacks highly branched isoparaffins.

  It is no problem to use it as an industrial raw material. After all, the demand for isoparaffins in the New Alliance industry is not too harsh. As for the processed fuel, it is also acceptable. After all, even if this thing is not processed, it can be ignited with an atomizer.

   But aviation fuel is not so easy to fool.

  The most critical component of aviation kerosene is multi-branched isoparaffins, followed by a series of issues such as sulfur content and impurities.

  Even if the requirements for fuel calorific value and density are lowered, there is no process for refining biomass oil into aviation fuel.

  Because there is no such thing as "camus tree" in reality, there is no place to copy homework if you want to copy it.

  Biomass oil itself belongs to the frontier field of energy conservation and emission reduction research. Although there are many "phased results" and PPTs, I haven't heard of any one that can replace oil fields with oil crops and solve the problems of carbon emissions and industrial raw materials at the same time.

   Oil grown from the ground?

   Is there such a good thing? !

  If there is such a thing in reality.

  The whole world is going crazy!

   Just when everyone was thinking about it but couldn't think of a solution, Zhuihun suddenly broke the silence.

   "How about... let's try solid fuel? Like burning coal?"

  Dao Ming who was sitting next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

   "You mean Lipisch P13A?"

   Shashen said excitedly.

   "Bull brother! I've seen that thing before!"

  Although it is in the game.

  Jian Jia who was sitting aside shook his head and picked up the chalk from the ground.

   "Stop talking nonsense, that thing is a ramjet, right?"

   As he spoke, he simply drew a structural diagram on the blank space on the blackboard, which seemed simpler than the turbojet.

   But only a little bit.

"This thing is still a concept so far. Although it has been dug out for research and has become a breakthrough point for N-times-sonic aircraft, the problem of thermal barrier has not been solved. In addition, insufficient fuel calorific value is also a big problem. As for the P13A …That thing is a blueprint machine, it has never been used on the battlefield, and it is a mystery whether it is made or not.”

  The mosquito gave him a strange look.

   "Don't you work in the drone factory?"

   Persuading the fight with an embarrassed smile.

   "Hey, it's a hobby... What's the matter, your family also runs a furniture factory."

   Mosquito said hurriedly.

   "I really run a furniture factory!"

   After persuading the fight, he said with a smile.

   "I didn't say you weren't."

  Although the problem is still unresolved, the atmosphere of discussion is always active.

  Everyone put forward ideas one by one, even if many of them are unrealistic ideas, but it is better than watching time go by in silence.

   Just then, there was a knock on the door.

   Mosquito got up and walked over to open the door, but standing at the door was an NPC guard.

   Seeing the black uniform, Mosquito was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out a sentence.

   "We didn't do it."

  The guard was also stunned, confused.

   "What... didn't you do it?"

   Noticing the confused expression on the guard's face, Mosquito immediately realized that he had misunderstood, so he coughed awkwardly.

   "It's nothing... I'm used to it, hehe."

   Every time the guards come to the door, it’s not a good thing. Either something explodes or something burns.

  He's almost reflexive.

  The guard stared at the mosquito suspiciously for a while, but said nothing, and handed over the package in his hand in a businesslike manner.

   "I was asked to bring this package to you."

   "The package for me? Who?" The mosquito took the package in a daze.

"A little girl, about this tall... her hair is blond, she didn't leave her name, she just asked me to send this package to Goblin Technology." As he spoke, the guard roughly gestured her height with his hands, about one meter Look like five or six.

   Mosquito immediately guessed who it was, and suddenly said.

   "Oh, that Pai? Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

  After the package was delivered, the guard didn't stay here any longer, and left after completing the task assigned by the manager.

  The door closes.

  Mosquito carried the package and proudly returned to his disciples.

  NPC gift!

   Of course you have to show off at this time!

   The four animals found what he was holding, and Killing God was the first to come over and asked curiously.

   "What are you holding?"

  The mosquito smiled.

   "Do you still remember the little girl from yesterday?"

  Zhouhun said in surprise.

   "Pai?"

   Mosquito proudly shook the package in his hand.

   "Send me a present."

  When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then shocked.

   "Damn it?"

   "O beast, you!"

   Mosquito rolled his eyes.

   "Get out! How vulgar! Can't you worship Lao Tzu's profound knowledge and want to worship me as a teacher?"

  Killing God retched.

   "I vomited."

   I didn't bother to care about this guy, the mosquito opened the package.

  However, when he saw what was inside, he was stunned.

   I saw a glass bottle filled with a transparent liquid inside the package.

  Holding it in his hand and looking at it for a while, Mosquito's expression was a little confused.

   "What the **** is this?"

  Zhouhun rolled his eyes.

   "Aren't you very knowledgeable?"

   "The thing given by the NPC should be some quest item...how about you have a drink?"

   To be honest, the mosquito really has this plan.

   But you have to smell it before drinking it.

  However, when he unscrewed the bottle cap and just put his nose close to it, the stench that got into his nostrils made his eyebrows twitch instantly.

   "Fuck!"

  What stinks so much!
