This game is too real.

Chapter 195 Another batch of fresh leeks is online
North of Linghu Wetland Park.

An abandoned tire factory amidst the ruins.

This place used to be the lair of the Bloody Hand clan, and with the destruction of the Bloody Hand clan, it was once occupied by cockroaches and rats.

Recently, the structurally sound factory building has been repurposed for the expansion of the activities of the residents of Vault 404.

With the efforts of countless new players, all the alien species that nested here were expelled, and NPCs set up guard posts in the surrounding high-rise buildings.But now it has become the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost, and all the light and heavy industries that were crowded on the south side of the sanatorium have been relocated here.

This includes No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, which was born in Keban.

It also includes the goblin technology that Yeluzi was born in.

Although the generous manager finally agreed to keep his hut on the south side of the outpost under the soft and hard pausing of Brother Mosquito, but the production activities involving chemicals, flammable and explosive products in the future must start from the resurrection point. Moved nearby, moved here.

It wasn't that Chu Guang was targeting him, but mainly because there were too many people complaining.

This guy randomly tested weapons in the forest outside the base, either scaring away the fish in the lake, or accidentally igniting the pine and cypress trees outside the base.In the past month or so, people have come to Chu Guang to protest more than once, hoping that he can restrain the behavior of mosquitoes a little bit.

Chu Guang believed that Brother Mosquito didn't do this on purpose, but to let him continue to toss like this, to be honest, Chu Guang felt a little guilty.

These problems no longer exist at the former site of the tire factory.First of all, it is a full 5 kilometers away from the outpost, and there is an abandoned and uninhabited city in the southeast, northwest and north.

There are enough xenomorphs there for him to test the power of the weapon.

From now on, Brother Mosquito no longer has to risk being thrown into the lake by angry anglers by secretly shooting cannons and rockets onto the lake!
All in all, under the plan of the wise and powerful manager, the northern industrial area will use steel and coal as the pillar industries, producing seamless steel pipes of various calibers, bullets, stamping receivers, and other manufacturing products. On this basis, use your creativity to build more cheap and useful things.

There are usually no scavengers near the predator's lair, and the nearby area is rich in recyclable resources. Even if there are occasional shortages of stock, you can hire scavengers to get local materials.

The most important thing is that it is close to the elevated road out of the city. As long as the obstacles on the road and the vegetation along the way are cleared, and the road surface is slightly repaired, the truck can even drive directly to the factory gate along the side road under the elevated road!
Regardless of the advantages in terms of transportation or resources, this place is much stronger than the outpost located in the wetland park.

It is simply the gospel of industrial gamers!

The original "truck-accessible" factory building with air-dried meat of unknown composition hung has now been transformed into the new site of No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory.

A circular hole was cut out on the top of the factory building, and a tall chimney made of red bricks was drilled out of the hole.

It's like a torch.

On the ruins of this civilization, a small but firm light ignited.

……

In the factory building of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

The blast furnace was filled with hot molten iron.

Sweat covered his hot neck. Li Niu unbuttoned his coat and fanned his palms to pour wind into his neck.

"Today's fire seems to be twice as strong as yesterday, is it my illusion?"

If it wasn't for the two foremen wearing VMs who refused to let him, he even wanted to take off the steel helmet with the fur lining on top of his head.

Standing next to him was a neighbor in the same town, Wu Dahe from the old Wu's next door.Their family is a blacksmith, but there is no business in winter, and there are very few opportunities to open.

When recruiting workers before, the two sons of Lao Wu's family came in.The older one worked as a furnace front worker like him, and also did some odd jobs at the same time, while the younger one was selected to be a stick maker, operating the rolls for hot rolling under the guidance of Blue Coat.Occasionally, a hammer is needed to knock some small parts, but this is not the case.

"The foreman said that a new batch of funds has arrived in the factory. The factory manager plans to add boron to the blast furnace and try to make 50B steel... It is said that it is used to make gun barrels."

Li Niu looked curious.

"What is boron?"

Wu Dahe took out a small stone from his pocket, shook it in front of him, and put it back again.

"For this small black stone, it is said that adding only a small amount can greatly increase the strength of steel, but the amount must be controlled, not too much... I don't really understand, anyway, this kind of complicated thing, The blue coats will take care of it, just do what they say."

Li Niu nodded with a vague understanding, and asked again after a while.

"What is No. 50B steel?"

Wu Dahe shook his head like a rattle, and repeated what he said just now.

"I don't know, anyway, just do what they say."

Li Niu was speechless.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he took it down as an experience in his heart.

Adding boron makes the steel more durable, but only a little, not too much.

But soon, other confusions arose in his heart.

How much can be added?

Also, the steel mentioned here is all steel?
Or is it limited to certain types?

After all, the steelmaking method in the factory is very strange. Sometimes tungsten is added, sometimes chromium and nickel are added, and sometimes silicon is added.Depending on the materials used, the uses of steel are also different.Some are sent to make gun barrels, some are used to make receivers, and some are used to make bicycle frames.

The blacksmiths on Beit Street don't have such a trouble in forging iron. At most, they add some carbon, and the forged tools are as good as they are, strong and durable.

I heard that clever blacksmiths also specialize in recycling steel from scrap car racks, especially the kind parked in indoor garages.

The steel that is forged from those materials will be much more durable than ordinary steel.

Li Niu is not a blacksmith. Before coming here, he was just a scavenger living in Beit Street. He would occasionally go out hunting with Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, because he could always find a wild boar's nest... Although He himself couldn't explain why.

As for why it is here.

That's a long story.

A week ago, the outpost industrial zone was relocated. Old Charlie posted a notice on the square, requesting to recruit 5 to 10 strong workers aged between 16 and 35 to help. 1 silver coin salary.

In the street office store on Beit Street, 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 1 kg of green wheat or croissants, and 50 g of salt.

Where do you usually meet such a good thing?
In such a cold day, there was nothing to do. Li Niu signed up when he heard that he could save some food for his family.

As for whether to give chips or silver coins, not many people care about it recently.

The caravans in Boulder City haven't been here since the beginning of winter. For the survivors here, what they can exchange for food and other things is money.

The work of factory relocation is not very strenuous. We only need to transport some large and small things out of the forest with a trailer, load the truck at the north gate of the park, and then follow the truck to the abandoned tire factory in the north. Just remove it.

That abandoned tire factory used to be the stronghold of the Bloody Hand clan, and many residents of Beit Street were afraid of approaching it, but Li Niu was not.

The Bloody Hand clan has been wiped out, and the flag of Vault 404 is flying on the roof of the factory building.

He often followed Yu Hu to visit the outposts, and he knew very well that those blue coats were very good people.

And the fact is true, the relocation work lasted for three full days, not only was there meat in every meal, but also enough to eat.

If it wasn't for all the work done, Li Niu even wanted to stay here forever.

At that time, the foreman of the steel factory came out and offered them an olive branch.

No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant plans to recruit a group of contract workers. The monthly salary is 60 silver coins, and all food and accommodation are in the factory.There are 4 days of vacation every month, and the day of rest can be determined by yourself. If you do a good job, you can get a commission.

In addition to age, there are only two requirements for recruitment, one is strength, and the other is literacy... Those with more literacy are given priority.

According to the foreman, the factory will set up night school literacy classes, and organize workers to learn to write, count and draw, but because they have to sign a contract, they must at least be able to write their own names to sign up, and they are not allowed to ask others to write for them.

It was the first time in Li Niu's life that he realized how great it is to be educated.

He had participated in old Charlie's night school literacy class before, although he hadn't been there a few times, but at least he gave his name to the writing group.

Those whose names have three characters suffer a bit, either they can only write two, or they can only write their last name after holding back for a long time.

In the end, there were 15 people left behind. The foreman gave them hard hats and warm fur coats, arranged dormitories for them, and told them that from now on they would be workers in No. 81 Steel Plant.

As long as you work hard, you can bring your family to settle down in the future.

Li Niu didn't think about things that far away, the current life is enough to make him feel overwhelmed with happiness.

Wearing fur clothes issued by the factory, he even felt a little hot standing in the factory building. Every time he changed shifts, he would go out for a while to cool off.

This kind of wonderful life was beyond his imagination!

Looking at the molten iron in the blast furnace, Li Niu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"That boy Yu Hu is always careless in his studies, so we have to find a way to persuade him..."

Breeze time is over.

With the molten iron in the blast furnace, it reaches the expected temperature
Under the instructions of the foreman, Li Niu cooperated with another worker to manipulate the rocker that controls the machine, and moved the suspended blast furnace to the mold for casting to make a stick-shaped billet.

The motor starts.

The rollers under the billet start working,
Under the transport of a row of rollers, the rod-shaped billet is sent to the punching machine, and punched and drilled by a special high-temperature-resistant drill bit.

"The temperature of the billet dropped too fast."

"Indeed... we have to find a way to integrate the hot stamping technology and stamp it directly in the mold to keep the quenched state."

"Could the gun barrel be thinner? Or the barrel is too heavy, it has no mobility at all, and it consumes materials."

"Try your best. With such a large caliber, I'm afraid that if it's made too thin, it will explode."

Brothers Suo and Levin, who were standing in front of the production equipment, pointed at the equipment at work, and whispered to each other.

As for why they are so motivated?
Because just this morning, they just went online and suddenly received a research and development fund of 5500 silver coins!
Maybe it's because the managers are moved by their hard work. From now on, for the research and development of new equipment, as long as the drawings and budget are submitted according to the process, they can get the support of special funds, and they will no longer need to generate electricity for love, and they will use their own money to do research and development. up!
In addition to solving their urgent needs, the respected lord manager also deployed two hibernation cabins for them, saying that it was a reward for their hard work.

This sleeping cabin is a good thing!

In the future, they don't need to go back to the refuge, and they can go online and offline directly in the factory.

If you let other players know, they will definitely go crazy with jealousy!
Happiness comes too suddenly.

However, brothers Suo and Levin were not stunned by the sudden happiness.

They are too aware of those lemon extracts on the forum, if they know that they have gained so many benefits, they will definitely clamor to cut their knives again.

Therefore, the two of them made a fortune in a low-key way without making a fuss, hired scavengers to recycle good steel and good materials from the waste soil, rented the machine tools in the shelter to cut the necessary parts, and spared no effort to increase the production capacity of the steel factory. , secretly making the steel industry bigger and stronger.

They decided to show some real skills and show these cloud players who only know how to pick lemons and shout "I can do it too".

What is a real war machine!
I really don't know what to do!

……

】

On the fourth day after the new version was launched, the production in the northern industrial area of ​​the outpost was in full swing.

At this moment, the B3 floor of the refuge below the base is also full of bustle and bustle.

The helmet was finally activated, and three hundred players entered the game at the same time. Under the guidance of the broadcast, they came to the square in the center of the floor one after another, blocking the lobby in front of the elevator tower on the B3 floor.

"There are a lot of newcomers this time!"

"And the quality seems to be good. There are a little less fussy strange species than last time!"

"Very good, it seems that the threshold for making an appointment to answer questions has been raised again."

"By the way, have you seen the European Emperor who has drawn a heterogeneous unit?"

"Not yet, the manager hasn't even started to speak. It's probably because everyone hasn't arrived yet. They should be dawdling in the room. Let's wait and see!"

Standing in the corner of the square, Commander Quanshui looked around the crowd, looking for potential stocks among the newcomers, and was ready to start "spreading fire" as soon as the manager finished speaking.

Although he didn't want to start training from rookies, there was no way, his two teammates were too bad!

One [I'm the darkest], one [Battlefield Atmosphere Group], the group that fights monsters and the next dog, always let him have an intelligence system, not to mention the front, and always think about his equipment.

For his own plan to advance to the T0 echelon, Commander Quanshui decided to train a few obedient and easy-to-use cute new current platoons.

It is best to have a relatively rigid strength system, or a physique system that can carry is also good.

It would be even better if it was a foreign player like Roushan Damomo!
After all, someone is standing in front of him, and he who wears "pseudo-powered armor" has an output environment.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw a little player who had just walked into the hall, groping with his hands above his head in bewilderment.

Her nickname is Aoao Sesame Paste.

For some reason, her game character is a bit different from others.

A pair of furry animal ears protruded from the hair, replacing the human ears, which looked like some kind of headgear.

"Huh? Why do my ears grow on the top of my head?"

"Didn't you notice it when you were in the room?"

"I, I, I don't know. There is no mirror in the room, so I thought it was because my hair was curled up in sleep." The expression on that dumbfounded face couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise.

Does this count as SSSR?
But it seems that there is no attribute bonus...

The players around were excited.

Is this testing krypton gold skin?

can.

It seems that there is hope for the public beta! !
Tail's eyes sparkle: "Cat ears! Damn, there are more and more European emperors!"

Sis: "Oh, the number of heterogeneous friends has increased again."

Tail: "Si! Spread the fire!"

Sis: "Oh, go!"

After one wave was not settled, another wave rose again, and soon there was another commotion in the crowd.

But this time it was not a surprise, but a fright.

"Yeah! Alien!"

"Hey! Why are there mice here!"

"Call the guards!"

"Get my spear!"

The players on the edge of the square were the first to be startled, and then the commotion spread among the crowd.

"I'm not a mouse... Gan! I'm a player, okay?"

Looking at the people running away from him, the little player in the middle of the crowd—or the mouse man, couldn't laugh or cry.

By the way, is this considered SSSR?
It should be, right?
But the price is a little miserable, losing the right to choose a spouse in place.

Although he is quite satisfied with his appearance, other players—especially female players, don't seem to think so.

After waiting for a long time, none of rua's came up.

Gan!
This group of Yan dogs!

Is it so real?

Chu Guang who was standing in front of the elevator tower was also puzzled.

Even cat ears...

Eighty percent of them are the bad taste of the first generation of managers.

What the hell is this mouse about one meter tall?

Before opening the tank, he couldn't see the specific data of the clones in the cultivation cabin, so this kind of "summoning accident" also happened from time to time.

【

ID: Stronger than others

Gene sequence: Alien Ratman

Level: LV.0
——Basic attributes——

Power: 3
Agility: 3
Constitution: 3
Perception: 5
Intelligence: 3
】

【

talent:

Fast Synthesis: The active substance consumption of synthetic clones is reduced to 50% of the standard value, and the synthesis time is shortened to 24 hours.

Iron Stomach: Strong digestive system, able to adapt to rotting food.

】

Open the system and enter the player list.

Looking at the latest scan data of the player's training cabin, a hint of interest appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"Unexpectedly, there is no debuff that makes it difficult to upgrade the sequence level."

But relatively, the panel data of the Ratman is very weak, except for perception which is 5, other attributes are only 3, which is equivalent to 60% of normal adult males.

"The main attribute should be perception."

Chu Guang originally thought that at least the agility attribute would be a little higher, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.

The only advantage of this gene sequence is probably the BUFF provided by [Rapid Synthesis] and [Iron Stomach].

"The resurrection cost of 0.5 units of active substances, and the synthesis time of 24 hours... this is a bit awesome."

"And the talent of Iron Stomach... if you can overcome the psychological barrier, it should save you a lot of food."

In addition, another advantage is probably that it is smaller in size and can move freely in the ruins.

As for the lack of panel attributes... If the first awakening can't fill this hole, I'm afraid I can only rely on mechanical transformation.

Or take the route of biological and drug strengthening?
For some reason, Chu Guang thought of the Skaven in Warhammer.

The plague army all over the mountains and plains is simply a nightmare for the human empire.

But unfortunately.

The Ratman here is an orphan...

Chu Guang thought in his heart, how about giving this guy a "hidden professional task" as a gift, and giving him a training cabin when he is promoted to the third level, so that he can be released to play wild.

As for the little player with cat ears, to Chu Guang's surprise, her gene sequence did not have a heterogeneous prefix, and she was an ordinary agile player.

The only difference is the talent column——

[Beast Ears: I originally planned to create a leopard man, but it was an accident that only the part of the ear was dominant.But apart from the fact that it may be inconvenient to make a phone call, there seems to be no harm. Whether you need it or not depends on you, the first-generation manager. 】

Chu Guang: ...

This line of description is not suitable for appearing in the player's attribute column, so let's change it later.

Standing beside Chu Guang, Yin Fang stared straight at the human-talking mouse, held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help speaking.

"Before the war... Whether it was implanting animal DNA fragments into human embryos or transplanting human DNA fragments into animals, it was a taboo among taboos. How did the person who invented this technology not be recognized? Has anyone found any of this stuff and worked it out without the support of any outside funding?"

Yes.

How did he do that?
Chu Guang was also very curious about this question.

Including the morphing field that even the "former Academy D-class prospector" hadn't heard of.

"Maybe it was made in the shelter."

Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression on his face.

"Are you kidding me? In a shelter? By that half-baked medical lab?"

Chu Guang's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin thoughtfully.

"That's an interesting idea, maybe it's really possible."

To be honest, he didn't think there was anything strange about creating species.

Aren't mutants an example?

To borrow the words of a company employee with a bad drink, out-of-control technology is flooding this land, and it is not surprising that anything strange happens.

Yin Fang: "..."

Unlike Yin Fang who was surprised by the research and development background of this technology, He Ya who stood on the other side of Chu Guang was shocked by the fact that "rats can actually talk".

Although it was in a language she didn't understand at all, she could be sure it was speaking!

This is incredible too!
"Bears, lizards, and mice with human minds...how on earth do they do it?"

Suddenly, He Ya turned to Chu Guang eagerly, clasped her hands together, and said as if praying.

"Can you give me a sample? No need for a tissue section, a little blood is enough!"

"I have authorized you the DNA data of the residents of the refuge, and you can check it on the terminal in the infirmary."

Although Chu Guang didn't expect her to be able to decipher the secrets hidden in the genetic sequence, it is not bad as a project that is carried out in parallel with the study of heterogeneity.

After all, there are only so many alien species active in the northern suburbs, and his players can't always get new samples.

Heya said excitedly.

"Already collected? Great!"

If the crowd hadn't blocked the way, she would have rushed into the laboratory right now.

Yin Fang, who was standing aside, pinched his brows.

Is it an illusion?

He always felt that, except for himself, no one in the entire refuge was normal...
