Chapter 417 Frontier of Beta0.4 version: "Ocean Trade" system!

  【Today's news: The controllable fusion reactor in Xizhou City was successfully ignited! The alliance is about to enter the fusion era! 】

  【Jiuli, the lord of Dawn City: Residential electricity and industrial electricity are free for a week for a limited time! After a week, the price will be adjusted to 30% off the original price. Welcome everyone to open a factory in the new industrial zone of Liming City! 】

The import of power armor is under negotiation, so stay tuned! 】

  【…】

   "Wasteland OL" official website.

   Today's forum is as lively as ever.

  Especially a few freshly released announcements, which completely ignited the discussion enthusiasm of cloud players, and quickly became the focus of heated discussions—

   "Fuck, controllable nuclear fusion?!"

   "Surprised, didn't you guys still play with mud last year? Why did you use nuclear fusion?!"

   "It only took one year from indigenous steelmaking to nuclear fusion... This is too magical!"

   "I don't know who is capable of accomplishing such a great deed, I will be worshiped by my younger brother!"

   "If you don't understand, just ask, is this a 100% real game? Can the same method be used in reality?"

   "Fuck, it's the post-Internet era, and some people still take the developer's advertising words seriously?! Hurry up and spend some brain gold!"

   "Unscientific, so **** unscientific!"

  About the news about the successful ignition of controlled nuclear fusion, the topics on the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" were far more heated than the noise of the residents of the alliance in the tavern.

   After all, for the residents of the wasteland, controllable nuclear fusion is something they once had. Although they have almost forgotten it, it seems that there is nothing special about it.

However-

  For sand sculpture netizens on the earth, the meaning of this is completely different.

  The kind of legendary thing that only exists in fantasy, the distance between them and it is not just a short step.

  Even if it appears in a movie, it has to be labeled as a science fiction.

  Don't talk about how to use it to generate electricity, whether it can be used or not, the question of whether it is suitable has not yet been settled.

  If it is just a general sci-fi theme game, it is not surprising that there is a setting of controllable nuclear fusion.

   This is indeed not the darkest technology.

However, the selling point of "Wasteland OL" is its authenticity. It was true that a year ago, the outside of the shelter was still a wasteland. The beta testers who opened up the wasteland had to build their own houses and burn cement, building their own novice village from scratch. .

   Now the technology of controllable fusion has been pointed out.

   It's hard not to be surprised!

  In the chat section with no speech threshold setting, the posts are swiping the screen at a speed of almost a second, and the few sentences that appear most frequently are either for the qualification of the beta test or for the picture.

   Available in all languages.

  Although there are many discussions on the communication section of beta testers, "restrictions on electricity prices" are not as attractive as "removal of restrictions on the purchase of corporate weapons".

   You should know that in last year's Alpha version, the G9 "Black Swan" assault rifle was placed in the reward pool as a prize in a lottery.

   Now it’s not just the G9 assault rifle.

  A series of high-tech weapon accessories including holographic sights, night vision goggles, thermal imaging sights and even more sci-fi life signal detectors can be purchased in the NPC shop!

   This is not a f*cking buy!

   Therefore, apart from a few sand sculptures in the chat section and reservation players pretending to be aggressive, only life professional players are seriously discussing the impact of controllable fusion on the alliance.

  Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "It feels like just a controllable fusion reactor, the impact is enough for a new version of the content."

  Stop talking nonsense: "+1, hey, as expected, NPC is the primary productive force! T.T"

Killing God: "It can't be said that, advanced production technology is important, production theory and production method are equally important, and these are things in different dimensions. Controlled nuclear fusion only opens the bottleneck of energy. The use is far from reaching the bottleneck. There are still many problems to consider.”

  Ward's beriberi who Levin: "+1, our steelmaking process has only just developed to three-phase electric arc furnace, even with nuclear fusion, there is still a long way to go."

   Lower my voice, I'm Bron: "Hey, if only I could get a reactor in reality!"

  Ye Shi: "Good guy, if you actually get this thing out, you can't directly update from version 0.9 to version 1.0. (Funny

  Makabazi: "Ah Guang: If I'm so awesome, what kind of game should I play? Wouldn't it be nice to be an academician? (Funny

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Haha, be more confident, if it can be done in reality, so what if I give you a title alone? (smirk

  Guang Feng: "There may be some hope for deuterium-tritium fusion. The pure helium triple fusion in the game...let's forget it. (Squint eyes

  Because the controllable fusion technology has gone beyond the scope of everyone's knowledge, the topic of the player exchange forum quickly shifted from the reactor itself to the "Limitation and Exemption of Electricity Price" activity.

  The power grid of the previous alliance mainly relied on thermal power generation facilities such as burning wood and coal. Although there are also a small amount of wind and solar energy, the cost is not low.

   And there are frequent power outages.

  Now that the controllable fusion technology has broken through, the new and old industrial areas of the alliance no longer have to worry about energy issues. Not only will the industrial costs further decrease, but the demand for electrical consumer goods will also rise accordingly.

   This is an epic enhancement for life professional players!

   Just as the players were chattering about what factories to open again, a new announcement popped up from the official website.

   It's not just live pros this time.

  The whole forum is boiling...

  …

real world.

  A bedroom in a private house.

  Lying flat on the bed, Fang Chang opened his eyes when he heard the cicadas and the traffic outside the window, but he didn't get up from the bed for a long time.

   Whenever seeing the words "disconnected" appearing in the pitch-black field of vision, Fang Chang would involuntarily feel a sense of emptiness in his heart.

   And this feeling has been especially strong recently.

  Even if it’s just a normal offline...

  Sit up from the bed.

  Take off the helmet and put it on the bedside table beside him. Fang Chang picked up the phone and turned on the screen to check the time, and muttered something in his mouth.

   "It's already at this point..."

   In fact, there is no need to look at it at all, he can figure it out.

  The time difference between the game world and the real world is exactly 12 hours. He was at 12 o'clock in the morning in the wasteland time, so naturally it was 12 noon when he woke up.

Usually he would wake up around eight o'clock, then go downstairs to have breakfast, go for a run in the park, see if he needs to go to the cattle and horse company for a while, or browse the forum to write a strategy, and then plan for tomorrow s arrangement…

  However, recently, this regular life has undergone a slight change. Every day, he will procrastinate until very late before going offline to get up.

   Like today.

  Wake up and eat lunch directly...

  Finally getting off the bed, Fang Chang went to the window and opened the curtains, letting the scorching sun shine into the room.

   Squinting his sleepy eyes, he walked to the bathroom. He turned on the faucet, splashed cold water on his face, trying to wake himself up.

  The cold drops of water rolled from the Adam's apple to the collarbone, and penetrated into the loose collar. He subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, but the index finger that swept across the neck gave a slight pause.

  There is no trace of it at all.

  The hot burning sensation that lingered there tens of minutes ago also seemed fake...

  A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

   It was only for a moment, as he picked up a pinch of water and splashed it on his face again, the trace of confusion quickly disappeared from his face.

  Looking at the slightly thin face in the mirror and the drops of water dripping from his bangs, Fang Chang suddenly gave a wry smile.

   "Is this Internet addiction?"

Or…

  Online dating?

   But it's also weird to use this word to describe it.

  He knows very well that the world is just a piece of code running on the server.

It is precisely because of this that he can remain sober and rational at all times. Even in a desperate situation, he can still think about countermeasures calmly. He will not be too impulsive and emotional like Lao Bai, and he will not be confused like Ye Shi because of indecision and indecision. Reality.

   But now.

   On the contrary, he became the most irrational person...

   At this time, the cell phone rang in the bedroom.

  Fang Chang walked over while brushing his teeth, picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that it was Ye Shi—or Ye Wei's grandson.

   He was a friend in the game a long time ago. Although he has never met him in real life, he has always saved the number of Lao Bai and the others in his mobile phone.

   After pressing the connect button, he brought the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

   "Damn, you finally woke up! It's too hard to find you... By the way, what do you have in your mouth?"

   "Toothbrush," Fang Chang rolled his eyes, and continued in a vague voice, "Hurry up and talk about what's going on, and stop talking nonsense."

   "It's all right, no kidding, have you checked the official website?"

   "Official website?" Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment and said, "Is it about the new equipment?"

  He saw the announcement on the VM, but the equipment of the enterprise was not very attractive to a T0 echelon player like him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

   Later, when it was time to go to bed, he took off the computer on his wrist, and didn't pay much attention to the news after that. Could there be another announcement?

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

   When did Aguang become so diligent?

   Soon Ye Shi complained, confirming his guess.

   "That was a few hours ago! A new announcement was made on the official website just now! The map of the east coast has also been made!"

  A map of the east coast? !

  Fang Chang said immediately.

   "Oh, I'll see in a while."

   "Stop it, hurry up, wait for your strategy!"

   "Don't rush, don't rush, update immediately."

   Hang up the phone at the speed of light.

  Fang Chang went back to the bathroom and spit out the mouthwash, threw down the toothbrush and cup and went to the study immediately, sat at the computer desk and pressed the case.

  Go to the official website.

   Sure enough, he saw the freshly released announcement.

  【Beta0.4 Frontier: "Ocean Trade" System! 】

   "In order to bring you a better game experience and to fix more bugs, hereby start a limited-time event—a sincere gift to our friends far away!"

   "For more details, please refer to the event details page. In addition, we will also draw two lucky players from the registered players to give away tickets to Ideal City to participate in the test of the new map!"

  Makabazi: "Roll duck?! What is that?! Sounds so exciting. (Nosebleed

  Crow Crow: #ω)╰ひ╯"

  Irena: Funny Scary Limited.jpg

   After reading the post from beginning to end, Fang Chang's face was filled with obvious surprise.

  The East Coast map is done? !

  This development speed is a bit awesome.

   "...The Province of the Clouds is 3,000 kilometers away from the Province of the River Valley, right?"

  The map of "Wasteland OL" is almost presented in the game world at a ratio of 1:1. That is to say, the mountains, rivers and survivor settlements along the 3000 kilometers have all been made? !

  Fang Chang felt excited, and immediately clicked on the event page.

  However, just as he was about to sign up, his index finger paused slightly on the mouse, and his beating heart slowed down.

  3000 km...

  I don’t know how long this trip will take.

  …

  Wasteland world.

  Vault 404.

   Sitting in the browsing room, Chu Guang stared at the computer screen with a satisfied smile on his face.

  Earlier in the day, he successfully persuaded Yi Chuan to let the returning plane bring the alliance's gift to Ideal City.

   But at that time, he didn't actually think about what to give.

   Until an hour ago, he was still racking his brains on this question.

  However, when he turned on the computer and was about to go to the forum to collect information, he suddenly saw players discussing enthusiastically how to maximize the value of controllable nuclear fusion technology.

  At that time, Chu Guang slapped his head.

  Why do you spend all your energy thinking about this?

   Isn't there a ready-made labor force that can go whoring for nothing!

  As a dog planner, making games and so on is secondary, and getting the creative workshop out is the serious work.

  Smart little players will not only help to fix bugs, modify values, but also update modules for free.

   When you can’t find a new job, just copy the player’s mod, won’t there be the next DLC?

   Having wasted an hour of his life in vain, Chu Guang, who had come to his senses, no longer hesitated, opened the document immediately, and posted another announcement right after the last time-limited event announcement.

  Want to experience the new map in advance?

  Want to visit the legendary ideal city?

  Who has more bad ideas!

  Give him the plane ticket!

   Seeing Chu Guang with an increasingly exaggerated smile, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the desk, asked worriedly.

   "Master, is it really okay to leave such an important matter to the players to decide?"

   Realizing that the expression on his face was a little too exaggerated, Chu Guang coughed lightly and restored his elegant and easy-going smile.

   "I will do the final check."

  Rubbing the doll's hair lightly with his index finger, he said in a confident tone.

   "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem!"

  …

   One night passed.

  The commercial street in the north of Shuguang City ushered in the morning sun of the second day.

   Stepping on the morning dew, two bionics wearing silver cloaks stopped at the door of the rattan hut.

  One of the bionics looked up at the sign on the door, and suddenly said.

   "Eclipse, found it!"

  Eclipse did not speak, and his face lacked expression changes. It was hard to tell whether it was pure expressionless or dazed.

   "Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

  Noticing the movement at the door, the yawning Huahua walked out of the store while saying hello to the guests.

  However, the moment her eyes fell on the faces of the two, she froze in place.

  Bionics?

"your clothes!"

   Frost looked at her seriously, and said without hesitation, "In order to save the dying civilization, please give us the clothes on your body."

   Huahua's face turned red, and she stood there bewildered, not knowing what to say.

  At this moment, a lazy voice came from behind the open shop door.

   "What's wrong, Huahua?"

  Hearing the boss's voice, Huahua finally came back to her senses, turned her head to look inside the door with a blushing face, and said falteringly.

   "...the door, two strange guests came at the door, they...they..."

  Fujito: "Strange guest?"

  Huahua whispered: "They want me to give them my clothes."

   "...?"

  After listening for a long time, he didn't understand what the clerk wanted to express. Fujiteng put down the tools in his hand and walked out of the shop.

  Looking at the two bionics at the door, she recognized their identities at a glance.

  Aren’t these two sent by the company?

  The name seems to be... Frost and Eclipse?

   Glancing at Huahua standing beside her, and at the bionic man staring at her clothes intently, Fujiteng's eyes flashed suddenly, and his right fist landed on the palm of his left hand.

"…I see."

The answer in the    version turned out to be a maid costume!

  This is really surprising.

   "Do you two want maid outfits?"

  Eclipse did not move, but Frost on the side nodded without hesitation.

"correct!"

   Huahua's face turned even redder in an instant.

   Is this what it means?

   But this expression is too strange...

   "Oh **** ho... those two came to the right place."

  Fujito had a happy smile on his face, and turned sideways to let the store door open.

   "Come in and talk."

  …

  While Fujiteng was promoting the art in the store to two guests from the east coast, Wu Mu from Changge Group in the northern part of Dawn City finally saw the Death Claw he was thinking of.

  Looking at Nicole who was tied to the side of the shack by a rope, Wu Mu in power armor clenched his fists excitedly, and looked excitedly at Chu Guang who was standing aside.

   "That's the Deathclaw you were riding that day in that video... I mean?!"

   It seems that the video that Xiao Qi edited for him became popular in Ideal City, so that it left such a deep impression on this guy.

   Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

  Wu Mu continued to ask excitedly.

"What's its name?!"

"Nicole, it's a big girl." Chu Guang smiled lightly and continued, "My subordinates found it in a research facility occupied by looters. At first we just used it as research material, and it took a long time , once you have developed a relationship, let’s keep it here.”

  Wu Mu said in amazement.

   "Unbelievable... It turns out that the claws of death can really be tamed!"

   Chu Guang glanced at him and asked curiously.

   "Haven't you guys tried it?"

"Deathclaws are not very common on the east coast. They are seen occasionally, but they are not very big. Our main threat is mutants... They move along the coastline, looting everywhere, burning down villages, and their reproduction speed Ridiculously fast."

   It seemed that he didn't really want to mention the matter of mutants, Wu Mu quickly ended the topic, and looked at Nicole and asked excitedly.

   "Let's not talk about that, but how much does such a big guy have to eat in a day?"

   Did not continue to ask about mutants, Chu Guang smiled and continued following his topic.

   "Half a ton of nutrient paste, or two adult reptiles. It eats a lot, but fortunately it is not picky about food, and can even go hunting by itself."

   Wu Mu asked excitedly.

   "Can I ride it?"

"certainly."

  Chu Guang made a gesture of invitation.

  After getting the permission, Wu Mu smiled embarrassedly, turned on the camera function of the helmet, and walked forward with heavy steps.

   "Hey, little guy, let me ride—"

  Wu Mu, who was approaching, was about to reach out his hand, but before the words fell, a thick and long tail swished across the ground, tripping him and falling to the ground.

  The creased eyelids lifted up, revealing half of the amber pupils, and Nicole let out a snort from her nose, her expression seemed to be mocking.

  However, the airy expression didn't last long, and a sharp gaze looked over here, making the scales all over its body tremble uncontrollably.

   "Woooo..."

  Nicole, who was glared at by Chu Guang, let out an aggrieved grunt, and her naughty tail curled up in a circle on the grass.

   Seeing this guy pretending to be aggrieved, Chu Guang shook his head, but he didn't force it any more, and stepped forward to pull Wu Mu who had fallen to the ground.

   "I'm sorry, friend... this guy has a bit of a temper."

   "It's okay, it's because I can't control this guy..."

  Patting the dust on the armor, the young man stood up from the ground, touched the back of the helmet embarrassedly, and looked at Chu Guang with even more admiration.

  Can tame such a terrifying monster, and make it docile on the ground like a cat purring...

   Is this the man at the top of the food chain?

   As expected of the manager of the alliance, it is as extraordinary as the rumors say!

   He didn't pay attention to Wu Mu's worshiping eyes, Chu Guang glanced at the big brother's power armor with a slightly strange expression.

  The shape of this thing looks cool.

  Why do I feel that the function is a bit broken.

   Seems to have read his eyes, Wu Mu's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he explained.

"I can't help it. Portable reactors are too rare, and we don't have many. Power armor can only be allocated to front-line troops first. Selling like me doesn't need to go to the front line anyway, so I got a metal hydrogen battery to make do with it. Although it can move, But it's still a little different from the fully functional power armor..."

   Good guy.

   It's no wonder that Nicole is completely nonchalant.

  Great Love is a castrated version...

  Chu Guang's heart skipped a beat.

   It is said that he happened to have a black box capable of producing a portable reactor in his hand, and it was stored in the warehouse of No. 79 shelter.

  Due to its size, it was not moved here.

  If you can get a batch of castrated versions without reactors from the company, maybe you can put together a batch of full versions!

  However, Chu Guang didn't rush to reveal the matter, but just smiled lightly and ended the topic.

   "We have a lot of deathclaws here, and there are many varieties, some with or without horns, and some with horns. If you are interested, I can give you a slightly smaller one."

   Upon hearing this sentence, Wu Mu suddenly regained his energy.

   "Really?! Thank you so much!"

I'm ashamed. I deleted, deleted, rewritten and rewritten 3,000 words all afternoon. As expected, writing in one go will be smoother T.T... I originally wrote something realistic, but I haven't reached the plot of Professor Kuangfeng. It's a bit forced to write it. let it go.
