Chapter 59 These players are getting punished

   Yesterday's snow seemed to be just an accident.

   The morning sun the next morning still carried the warmth of autumn.

   Stepping out of the shelter, Junk Jun cautiously looked outside. After realizing that it was not as cold as he had imagined, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and fled outside happily wagging his tail.

  Too cold at night.

   Its launch time had to be changed back.

   Except for Chu Guang and Jun Jun, no one seemed to be in a hurry, but instead had a little anticipation for the coming winter.

  Especially the players in the south, there are not many chances to see heavy snow.

   Now in this wasteland, there is snow foam floating in the sky before September is over. If you want to wait another ten days and a half months, you should be able to enjoy the next game.

   Go through the outpost's wall.

  Chu Guang inspected his territory, and at the same time silently calculated in his mind which piece of land would be better to enclose in the next step.

   North or South?

   This question deserves careful consideration.

   At this time, when he walked to the door, he found that two little players were busy in front of the north door, building a door-shaped shelf out of wood.

  Look at the shape...

   Kind of like the gallows at the entrance of Brown's Farm?

   "...what are you doing."

   Seeing the manager, the two players immediately stopped their work and looked over excitedly.

   Ya'er I want to go to the toilet: "Dear Manager, we are making the gallows!"

  Chu Guang: "...The gallows? What are you doing with that thing?"

  Ward's athlete who Levine: "This is more wasteland! It's also more punk!"

  I want to use the toilet cable: "Yes, and it's very practical! If anyone violates the laws of the shelter, we will hang him up! Hehe."

  Chu Guang: "..."

Can.

   but not necessary.

   Apart from these two sand sculptures, the other players in the sanctuary all look normal. Not busy doing tasks, or busy cutting trees and moving bricks.

   The outpost is in the early stages of development, and it lacks everything, except for jobs, but you don’t have to worry that players can’t find things to do.

  It doesn't matter if there are one or two fishermen occasionally, just let them go.

   The art of management is not in micro-manipulation, but in the control of the general direction, as long as the overall player is still diligent.

   Unless someone is not online for a long time, he will probably take care of it. If it is confirmed that it is AFK, he will give others the qualification for the beta test.

   As for how the system retrieves the helmet and distributes it, and whether it will cause any disturbance, that is not his concern.

   If you can do it, there is a reason why you can do it, and you will know when you have enough clues.

  Unfounded "infinite skepticism" has no meaning. Although scientific thinking emphasizes that "doubt includes doubts about oneself", it also emphasizes that everything must be based on evidence, not conjectures as truth.

   So what are you doing with so many "parallel worlds"?

   can't go back.

   Walking to the woodworking hut, Chu Guang checked the equipment on the lower shelf.

  As of now, Brother Mosquito has made 15 wooden bows and hundreds of arrows, and he has become more and more proficient in making and processing.

   Not only that, Chu Guang found out that this guy is simply a talent, not only has novel ideas, but also draws inferences from others in his work.

   For example, for this arrow alone, he designed two different arrows.

   One is to put the arrow into a wooden bar with a fixed groove, and then forge it several times after heating. This arrow can be used many times until the arrow is completely scrapped.

  The other is simply to mix turpentine and animal fat, and stick the rust sheet directly on the arrow shaft.

   Although this kind of arrow is a one-time use, and the penetrating power is almost, but as long as it can be effectively shot, it can basically leave the rusted arrow in the opponent's body, causing continuous damage.

   Even if you don’t lose your mobility on the spot, you will most likely die of tetanus or other infections in a few days.

   "Master Manager? I was planning to come to you."

   Seeing Chu Guang appearing at the door, WC really had a mosquito's eyes lit up, put down the tools in his hand and stood up from the chair.

  Chu Guang looked at him and said.

   "I'm just here to walk around, do you have anything to report to me?"

   "I have already made the gunpowder you told me to make!"

   After saying that, Mosquito pulled out a can of black gunpowder in a glass bottle from the shelf and handed it to Chu Guang excitedly. The latter couldn't help but take a half step back, almost kicking this guy off the assembly line without permission.

   "It's alright, there is no open flame here, it's very safe! Hehe."

   Mosquito smiled and continued.

   "I made it with a recipe I found online, using 74.6% potassium nitrate. According to this ratio, gunpowder can burn most fully!"

   As before, Chu Guang ignored the out-of-game content mentioned by the players in the conversation, took the glass bottle and took a closer look, then nodded.

   "Well done...have you experimented?"

   "I can give you an experiment right now! Please come with me!"

   Having said that, the mosquito took the manager outside the woodworking hut and took out a small glass bottle with a volume of about 150ml from his pocket.

The    was filled with gunpowder, a cotton thread was inserted into the mouth of the bottle, and an oil seal was made with animal fat.

  I saw him trot out a distance, put the glass bottle next to a tree, light the cotton thread with a match, and then ran away.

  As the cotton thread burned out, there was only a loud thunder-like sound, and the glass bottle exploded violently, ripping the surface of the tree trunk to pieces and crumbling to the side.

   Many players who were chopping trees nearby were startled by the sound and ran over to watch the fun.

   "Fuck?! Brother can do it!"

   "Did T En T be made?"

   "What T-en-T, you know T-en-T, the smoke is obviously black powder. But it's also very strong! Everyone knows the formula, but the raw materials are too difficult."

   "Big guy is awesome!!"

   Obviously heard the touts of other players.

   Mosquito looked at the manager next to him excitedly, his face full of excited red light.

"how?"

  Chu Guang's face was also full of surprise.

This……

   This player is too punished?

  What does a woodworker want to do when he knows so much.

"...Very good, your performance exceeded my expectations. Although the smoke generated is a bit bigger, and the power of the explosion still needs to be improved, these are not problems. I will report your credit to the organization, and you will receive 500 contribution points reward."

"Also, you can try to get out the smokeless medicine, such as nitrocellulose. If you can succeed, the sanctuary will give you 1000 contribution points, and there will also be a new job on my side. Give you."

new job?

   Mosquito's face was instantly excited.

   Does this mean hidden quests?

   In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are no hidden tasks, the reward of 1000 contribution points is already attractive enough.

  Since the alpha0.3 version, the contribution point income has been cut, and the contribution point is 160 when the daily tasks are full. The contribution of part-time workers is about this number.

  Although he is now a citizen, who would mind contributing more? It will only get more and more difficult to obtain in the future.

   He remembered that he planned to draw a cake on the official website, and in the future, he would open up the status level above citizens, and then he could buy more land.

   Mosquito said happily.

   "No problem, my esteemed administrator! I'll try it when I get the nitric acid and sulfuric acid out!"

  Chu Guang nodded, told him to go back to work first, and then inspected the side of the blast furnace.

  In order to facilitate transportation, the earth kiln for charcoal and the cement kiln for burning cement are built in a row, almost forming a conventional industrial area.

  The fire was running endlessly, and even the temperature nearby was two degrees higher than other places.

Since the "Ward's beriberi who Levin" and "Aer I want to go to the toilet" improved the process of local steelmaking, the carbon chamber and the iron melting chamber were separated, and the iron oxide was reduced by incomplete combustion of carbon monoxide, Instead of directly using charcoal to restore.

  In this way, the carbon content of the steel waste as raw material will not increase too much during the smelting process, and it is not necessary to repeatedly forge, quench, and remove carbon to form steel as before.

  Although it is impossible to restore the material to the way it was two hundred years ago, the strength of the material in all aspects is definitely much stronger than that of smelting raw ore.

   After all, the rare metals that were mixed in the steel will not disappear out of thin air, and they can still stay a little bit.

  Experience is always a little bit of groping.

   Looking at the players who were in full swing, Chu Guang was also full of emotion.

   A few days ago, the outpost's tools had to be imported from the nearby Brown Farm, and they needed to be exchanged for animal pelts.

   Now, players have not only learned to use the metal scraps they have picked up to smelt in the furnace, but they can even produce the tools they need by themselves.

  The woodworking hut addresses an immediate need.

   And here is where miracles can really be born.

"The production efficiency of these earthen kilns is still a bit backward, and the expansion of the facilities requires more building materials and tools. To achieve this, some players must directly or indirectly grasp the production materials, so as to give full play to the players' initiative. and creativity, giving them the freedom to improve production.”

"I think about it... Later versions can designate this area as an industrial area, clearly define the land use, and allow players who have reached the citizenship level to rent land here, open workshops, and engage in light industrial processing, so as to directly control part of it. means of production."

"As for heavy industries such as steelmaking and cement, which have huge output, large initial investment and unstable benefits, it is possible to set up a 'public' steel factory and cement factory, and appoint life professional players with outstanding abilities in the form of 'hidden tasks' Being the director of the factory and coordinating the planning of production can be regarded as an indirect mastery of the means of production.”

   "The balance aspect...just use the tax and land rent settings to solve it."

   "The players themselves came up with it anyway."

   Chu Guang, who touched his chin, pondered in his heart.

   As a qualified planner, the first priority is to understand what the current version needs.

   For example, if everyone can't be ranked ADC, then strengthen ADC. They all went to be the shooter, then slash the shooter's head, or strengthen the jungler.

The biggest difference between    games and reality is that in reality, there is a cost to reform and adjust policies.

   But when adjusting the balance in the game, everyone scolds the dog for planning at most.

   "Master Manager!"

   Hearing someone calling him, Chu Guang stopped and looked back, only to see a player with a bow and arrow running towards him panting.

"whats the matter?"

   "On the north side of the outpost, near the viaduct, two people came, leading a cow with two heads! The one with the head looks familiar, very similar to the people who have been here before!"

   The player reported the situation intermittently with his hands on his knees.

   A cow with two heads?

   Could it be the merchant from Honghe Town?

   So fast?

  Chu Guang was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm as he instructed the player.

   "Take me there."

"Yes!"
