This game is too real.

Chapter 164 Set off to the wilderness!

letter:
"My dear friend Butch, I have good news for you. With the generous help of our allies, we have successfully repaired the damaged parts and will be back on the road soon!"

"I still remember that the last time I wrote to you was half a month ago. The reason why I haven't heard from you for so long is not because I forgot about you, but because I was sent to perform a very important task. The liaison with allies... This job is very critical, you can understand it as a diplomat, there will be a lot of entertainment, but it is not annoying."

"I remember you once told me that you want to go beyond the towering wall, go to the outside world, look at the mountains and lakes in the distance, look at the endless deserts and swamps, climb over the snow-capped mountains and jungles, and look for The lost ruins. I remember you once told me that you are tired of the boring life, you envy me very much, you can find a group of like-minded partners, let go of the mundane, and go deep into the wilderness occupied by chaos and barbarism."

"I mean, if that's the case...why not try it? The road is there. And as I write this, we've covered thousands of kilometers and will soon be going further. "

"If you can't find your way, I solemnly recommend to you the partners we met in Qingquan City. They are a group of hardworking, brave, and optimistic people who live in Vault 404. They have impressive It’s such a joy to be with them every day.”

"That's a good place to go, and when you get there, you'll understand why I say that."

Aboard the Trailblazer.

Lying in a comfortable single room, with the back of his head resting on his arms, Luo Hua dictated the content of the letter facing the holographic window floating in front of his eyes.

Speaking of which, he has been away from home for more than a year.

The crowded and noisy environment that I hated before, I still miss it in retrospect.

"I'll write a letter to my father later."

Luo Hua sighed softly, and was about to click send, when she suddenly remembered that she forgot to write the signature, so she swiped her index finger hanging next to the holographic window, and added that line of writing.

"—your best friend, Luo Hua."

……

Two days later.

An ordinary morning.

There was no grand ceremony, as if the time had come, the steel fortress crawling on the wilderness unfolded a steel structure like a gantry crane to both sides.

The mechanical swing arm lowered from the ceiling is like a hand, picking up the modular production units that were previously deployed in the open space one by one, and putting them back on its back.

This incredible scene happened to it as naturally as breathing.

Standing in front of the porthole of the office.

Looking at the slowly rising production module outside the window, Li De had a smug expression on his face.

"Finally going back on the road."

He had waited too long for this moment.

"Yes, we have been delayed here for half a month."

Standing behind Section Chief Li, although Wang Jie expressed his approval, his mood was full of complexities.

On the one hand, he wanted to stay here for a few more days.

On the other hand, his pockets were almost cleaner than his face.

In fact, he is not the only one who has similar troubles. Ever since a water truck driver came back with a bag of buns, their pockets seemed to be enchanted.

Fortunately, credit cards cannot be swiped here. A large part of their salary is directly transferred to the card, otherwise they may even have to take the deposit...

If Wang Jie was just worried, then Section Chief Li, who was standing in front of him at the moment, had a complete headache.

In just half a month, those blue jackets actually earned a full 21 CR from their hands!

Li De deeply reviewed his mistakes in decision-making.

When he signed the labor contract back then, he never considered that these blue coats would come to his door to do business, let alone that these poor and white blue coats actually made a lot of money from them banknote.

Therefore, when pricing the trading items, Li De only referred to the most basic salary expenditure, and estimated that he would spend 2000 CR per day.

This is also impossible.

Who would have thought that those people were engaged in value-added services and business, which made his budget exceed an order of magnitude.

The items on those lists shouldn't be sold to them at cost!

Of course, Li De thought about it afterwards and felt that this might not be a bad thing.

Although he was paid 21 CR, after rational analysis, the trade deficit is still 0.Chu Guang finally took the money that was stolen from him and spent it.

The banknotes circled and eventually flowed back to the Pioneer.The current financial situation of the logistics department is ample, and the refrigerator in the cafeteria is full of those blue-coated buns, dumplings, wontons... and a lot of delicacies that can boost morale.

If you look at it this way...

It can't be considered a loss at all?
After taking a sip of the fragrant coffee, Li De looked out of the porthole and said slowly.

"Speaking of which, they all bought something from us."

Wang Jie replied: "Some metal hydrogen batteries and exoskeletons... the rest he replaced with food and crop seeds."

The exoskeleton is easy to understand. In the absence of power armor, it is the most perfect substitute.

It's just this metal hydrogen battery...

Li De asked strangely: "What do they want metal hydrogen batteries for?"

Wang Jie was also at a loss: "I don't know... Maybe it's planning to make an exoskeleton or a drone?"

Li De: "..."

They still have that technology?
What a surprise!

……

Of course the Outpost doesn't have that technology, but it will always have it in the future.

While the Pioneer was packing its luggage, Chu Guang was counting the "wool" in the warehouse of the operation camp accompanied by the old Luca.

A total of 213420 CR, 117000 CR of the pension is removed, which is 96420 CR.

What is the concept of 9.6 CR?
Equivalent to an average daily income of nearly 9000 CR for his little players!And at least half of them are earned through trade other than labor dispatch.

Such an astonishing surplus, not to mention the wool, the sheepskin was almost picked up by his little players!

Excluding the 10000 CR spent changing legs for Boss Xia, there are still 203420 CR left.

This huge sum of hard-earned money was paid for by his little players—even blood. Naturally, it was impossible for Chu Guang to squander it at will.

After some deliberation, Chu Guang first took out 10 CR of it, and bought 50 common types of metal hydrogen batteries—an average of 2000 CR.

As for why to buy a battery, the reason is very simple, this thing is the most cost-effective, and it is difficult to buy in Qingquan City.

According to Chu Guang's research on the KV-1 exoskeleton produced in Jushicheng, the only thing that can be called black technology in the entire exoskeleton is a solid-state hydrogen battery.

As for the mechanical structure and engineering design, although there are some remarkable points, they are not good enough to make people wonder.

The metal-hydrogen batteries produced by the company have a higher energy density than ordinary solid-state hydrogen batteries.

This thing is a genuine black technology, whether it is used to make a drone or an exoskeleton, it is very reliable.Even if you just buy a bunch of KV-1s and change the battery, it can greatly improve its battery life.

The price of 2000CR is definitely cheap!
Chu Guang reckoned that in the area of ​​Qingquan City, it would be reasonable to sell such a good thing that can be used as a strategic reserve for 4000 CR or exchange it for goods of equivalent value.

It took 10 CR to buy the battery, and there are 103420 CR left.

After some weighing, Chu Guang took out half of it and replaced it with grain and seeds of some pre-war crops. The remaining half was used to buy 10 sets of "Miner I Exoskeletons" worth 5000 CR.

Regarding this set of exoskeletons, you can tell what it is used for just by listening to the name.

But not important.

KV-1 is still used to move bricks, welded with steel bars and steel plates, it can also be used as pseudo power armor.

In particular, the design of this miner I-type exoskeleton is much better than the garbage bought in Boulder City.

Among other things, the metal hydrogen battery it carries is more than a little bit stronger than KV-1.And its excellent electronic control system and motor design not only ensure long battery life, but also provide it with stronger and more stable power output.If it is modified magically, it can theoretically weld thicker and heavier armor!

In the enterprise, the "miner type I exoskeleton" is considered to be an E-type trading product, and it is also the most advanced one that Chuguang can buy under the item of mechanical exoskeleton.

Of course, this exoskeleton is not without its drawbacks.

The explosion power of metal hydrogen is 35 times that of conventional explosives, and the explosion speed is far faster than RDX. In theory, this thing only needs 1L to overturn a main battle tank.Therefore, in the later Type II and Type III, the company changed the metal hydrogen back to a slightly safer solid-state hydrogen battery, and the export control was also lowered to a Class F trading product.

Interestingly though, even though Type II and Type III are safer, the best seller in the wasteland is still the first generation.

Even if Werther strongly suggested to Chu Guang to buy the safer Type II, Chu Guang insisted on his idea without hesitation.

"With these things, I feel like I don't even need to sell my old armor..."

Looking at the industrial-style exoskeletons in the warehouse, Chu Guang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.However, he only thought for less than three seconds before making a decision.

"Forget it, let's sell it."

"Just treat it as a bonus for the players."

After all, it was the armor used by the manager, so Chu Guang decided to use the auction to determine its ownership.Only the hardest-working players can own this armor engraved with honor!
Well, when we get back, we'll have to get two more scratches on its front armor.

As for the "Miner Type I Exoskeleton", Chu Guang intends to stipulate that the purchase must be at the citizen level, and each account is limited to purchase one. After purchase, it will be automatically bound and cannot be traded to players or neutral NPCs.If you don't want it anymore, you can only deal with it in the designated warehouse or weapon store.

Considering that the import price is as high as 5000CR, 5000 silver coins should be more reasonable for pricing.

But if this price is really set, his little players may have to save money until next year before they can afford it.

"Let's sell it for 2000 silver coins... and there must be an additional threshold, not only for citizens, but also for level 10 to buy!"

Leaving gear in storage for ashes is what old leeches do.

As long as the equipment can be installed smoothly, highly active combat professional players, whether they are carrying bricks with equipment, picking up waste, hunting or doing other things, are the choices that maximize the benefits for Chu Guang.

Basically, unless it happens to be an intelligence department, it is difficult for life occupations to quickly upgrade in the early stage.

The most typical representative of them is the mosquito. Since the genetic sequence is of the agility department, and he often stays in his workshop, he rarely goes out to do tasks, and his level is only a poor LV5.The Tomato Scrambled Egg that entered the game with him had LV6 before the expansion, and now it is almost LV7. He is already a mature tank with a physique system.

After telling Old Luca to arrange trucks to transport some of the goods back to the outpost, Chu Guang walked out of the warehouse and glanced at the Pioneer busy packing outside the camp, his eyes full of reluctance.

If only they stayed a few more days.

Popcorn has just become popular on the Pioneer, it's a shame that it didn't sell much...

……

Deploy for 10 minutes and call it a day for an hour.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, the Pioneer finally finished packing.

However, this giant steel beast did not take everything away. For example, the operation camp about 100 meters away from it was left intact.

Not only that, during the period after encountering the Legion, the Pioneer also helped the local shelter residents to reinforce the operational camp a second time.

The current operational camp not only has a three-meter-high reinforced concrete wall, but also has a five-meter-high trapezoidal gun tower at the four corners of the camp.

In addition, there were 300 tons of cement that were not used up in time, which were also left in the camp by the crew of the Pioneer.

Together with the materials that Chu Guang bought with CR, they were placed in different warehouses.

"...This is a little bit of our thoughts, I hope they can help you."

Captain Lu Yang, who was wearing a power armor, walked up to Chu Guang and the residents of the refuge, and removed the helmet's visor.

Chu Guang looked at him and said solemnly.

"Thank you, you have helped us a lot, I will remember this favor."

To be honest, no matter in his previous life or in this life, Chu Guang seldom revealed his heart to others.

But it is absolutely true.

I always felt that such a serious expression was rarely seen on this friend's face, but Captain Lu Yang didn't care too much, and smiled heartily.

"Don't be so polite, you have also helped us a lot. Without your help, we would not have been able to get back on the road so quickly."

After pausing for a moment, that hearty smile suddenly became a little melancholy.

"Farewell, my friend. If all goes well, we shall see each other again!"

At that time, he will return with victory.

Chu Guang nodded.

"It will definitely be, and I hope you will be victorious and have no worries along the way."

"Lend your auspicious words!"

After bumping his fists as a final farewell, Lu Yang who left gracefully waved his hands and stood on the elevator leading to the steel fortress.

This is the last class.

The elevator rose slowly, and the hatch closed heavily.

The earth trembled slightly and made a dull sound. Driven by fusion energy, the magnificent land fortress moved.

The steel tracks moved forward slowly and firmly, rolling over the ground covered with snow and frozen branches, and finally merged with the tall figure into the winter morning fog, leaving only a dozen ruts like ravines.

This eye-shocking scene made the players standing at the gate of the operation camp widen their eyes in surprise, as if their eyes were glued to the invisible fortress.

"gone?"

"Amazing, this fortress can really move! I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of the game's physics engine!"

"After a rational analysis, nuclear fusion is indeed possible... Of course, the material is probably not ordinary steel, otherwise it would not be able to withstand its huge weight."

"Okay, okay, don't analyze it, I want to know now, is this expansion pack over?"

"Probably? Since yesterday, the task of picking up waste in the northern towns has disappeared. By the way, have you not paid attention to the VM?"

"Wait a minute, are there still more than 100 African chiefs who have not been resurrected?"

"Hey, this operator is too stupid. If you can't fix the bug, just turn off the expansion pack!"

"Hahahaha, one word, absolute!"

Hearing the twittering of the little players, Chu Guang smiled faintly.

Looking away from the fort that disappeared into the distance, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and swipe on the VM.

The pre-edited server announcement was immediately sent to each player's VM and official website.

[Full server announcement: The prosperity of the action camp has reached 100 points, and it has grown into a stronghold of survivors. It is now renamed "Changjiu Farm". 】
