This game is too real.

Chapter 293 Can silver coins be exchanged for money? !
"...An old thing that doesn't know good and bad, but if I tell those predators that he has a few valuable bionic parts on his body, he can still live until now? He's already been cut into a stick!"

Looking at the back going downstairs, Professor Sun Zewen hummed and limped towards his room.

The manager of the new alliance has arranged a new job for him, and he can continue to engage in research on resonance fields and mind interference devices in the future.

Chu Guang plans to deploy a psychic interference tower near the settlement to drive away common alien species such as mutant hyenas, moles, cockroaches, two-headed dogs, brown bears, jackals, and falcons.

The specific method is to release fear emotions to them through the resonance field, drive the xenomorphs to the players' hunting grounds, or at least keep them away from farmland and villages.

The problem that needs to be solved now is that different organisms have their own specific "frequency". Although there are ready-made materials for reference, research on specific species is still needed.

But before that, he had to go back to his room to pack his luggage, and he would go to Vault 401 to download the data in a while, and then go to the headquarters of the new alliance—that is, Vault 404, where he started a new mission. Life.

Yin Fang still stayed in the control room, looking left and right at the terminal that manipulated the mind control tower, and kept mumbling inconceivably.

There are too many things in it that confuse him.

"... How does this thing work? Is it to simulate the frequency of brain waves? No... it seems to have nothing to do with brain waves... What is the medium that can transmit information?"

He Ya was uncommonly uninterested, bit her lips lightly, her eyes were full of complexity, as if she was thinking about something on her mind.

As for Chu Guang, he didn't have time to take care of his two subordinates at the moment, but kept staring at the tablet in his hand, with a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

This time the loot is pretty amazing.

An old professor who studies "resonance field theory" and "mind interference device".

Although Professor Sun Zewen in the pre-war era was unknown, he was still an old popsicle frozen over 200 years ago.

The other is a researcher who studies bionic organs. Although his personality is a little rigid, or rather silly and sweet, it does not affect his ability in the professional field.

For Chu Guang, the price he paid for all of this was just some contribution points and silver coins.

Simply bloody!
The only fly in the ointment is that the other three residents of shelter 117 have unfortunately died, and this is also the origin of the three skeletons at the entrance of the ecological park and the iron plate engraved with a torch.

Vault 401 also suffered heavy losses. Except for Sun Zewen, who was wise enough to protect his life, only six "new generation" of the Vault residents survived.

These six people can be said to have tasted all the dangers in the world. They were tortured by those predators and they were almost inhuman, and even their eyes lost their light.

Chu Guang assigned them all to Professor Sun Zewen as his research assistant.

The life expectancy of the residents of the refuge is much longer than that of the wastelanders. Although these people are not considered young, after all, they have received the elite education of the refuge, and their foundation is still much stronger than that of the average wastelander.

The relevant technologies of "resonance field theory" and "spiritual interference device" must be inherited.

Obviously, Professor Sun Zewen also knew this, so he simply accepted the task Chu Guang gave him.

As for the other 109 freed slaves, most of them were bought by Tusi from slave traders. Chu Guang ordered the team of cattle and horses to bring them back to Dawn City along with the captured spoils.

Adjusting to a new life takes time.

Before giving them back their freedom, Chu Guang first needs to ensure that they can gain the ability to earn a living and not become a hidden danger to society.

Fortunately, so far, there are far more job opportunities in the new alliance than the labor force. A series of economic stimulus measures adopted by Chu Guang have attracted a large influx of merchants, and both the primary and secondary and tertiary industries are expanding rapidly.

Chu Guang has already greeted Old Luca, and he will be responsible for arranging these poor people.

In addition to counting the loot, with the help of Xiao Qi, Chu Guang simply sorted out the information collected earlier.

As he guessed, the torch came here 20 years ago, and copied the relevant research materials of the resonance field from the No. 401 shelter.

The collar hanging around the neck of Chu Guang's pet named Nicole is an improved device based on similar technical principles.

While there's no way to control Deathclaw through an indiscriminate resonance field, it's different with a tube inserted directly into the head.

Because of differences in ideas and goals, the Torch was divided into two groups in Vault 401. Some went south to find specimens of alien creatures, while others stayed where they were and built their homes.

Later, Professor Zhao Yuan and others who stayed behind rescued a group of refugees who had escaped from Boulder City out of mercy—and among them was Tusi who was torn apart by the Garbage Lord.

Then there is nothing more than the story of the farmer and the snake.

Those refugees were not interested in their ideals at all, relying on cunning and unexpected sneak attacks, they easily subdued these pampered blue coats and used their skills to rub pills.

And it was precisely this series of changes that made Professor Zhao Yuan completely lose confidence in the Wastelanders.

As for the foreign colony mentioned by that old Popsicle named Sun Zewen...

This is too far away for Chu Guang now.

However, Chu Guang still asked Xiao Qi to update the relevant entries in the official website settings as a supplement to the world view.

……

The basement floor of the Ecological Protection Park.

There is an underground passage connecting the nearby subway station, and passengers who come here by rail transit can go directly to the park from the passage.

But now, like most of the subway tunnels in Qingquan City, this passage has become a paradise for nibblers.

At this time, a beam of light lit up the dark corridor, and the sound of heavy footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

The nibblers wandering in the darkness cast their gazes at the nasty light source, hissing and growling from their rotting mouths.

However, before they approached, thunderous gunshots sounded in the tunnel.

Sparks jumped in the tunnel, and the eaters fell one after another, and there were more than 20 corpses on the ground in a short while.

With blue smoke coming out of the muzzle, Chu Guang, who was wearing a power armor, changed the magazines neatly, and then fired again and again.

After the gunfire subsided, he put away the smoking muzzle, and casually spoke to Professor Sun Zewen who was following behind him.

"Didn't those looters think about cleaning up here?"

The eardrum was almost shattered, and Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his ears with a headache, and it took him a while to recover.

"Clean up here? They don't do things that are thankless. Those short-sighted savages just want to make more plastic chips... I only found out later that the survivors in the wasteland actually use casino chips as money .”

Chu Guang: "Not everyone, but it's more popular here in Qingquan City."

Professor Sun Zewen asked curiously.

"what about you?"

"Of course we have our own currency."

The entrance to Vault 401 is in this corridor. It was disguised as a workshop in the pre-war era, with a sign of "No Entry for Idlers", and there is only a locked door separated from tourists.

But now, let alone the door, most of the fist-thick wall has been demolished, leaving only a floor of broken bricks, and behind it is a half-open alloy giant door.

"More than 20 years ago, the power to the shelter ran out and we had to pull out of the ground and build a shelter on the surface...the place has been abandoned."

Professor Sun Zewen took the initiative to walk in front and led Chu Guang into the shelter.

Since the reactor has been shut down, the back of the giant gear-shaped alloy door is completely dark, and even the air purification system has gone into hibernation. Only a few key functional devices are still on standby with the support of backup power to maintain the minimum energy consumption.

Although Yin Fang had visited here before, he only roughly collected the public data stored in the shelter, and did not explore the interior of the shelter carefully.

Considering that this place will become a new gathering point for players in the future, Chu Guang felt that it was necessary for him to come here in person.

The moment Chu Guang stepped into the shelter, a light blue pop-up window appeared in his sight.

[Task: Restart the fusion reactor in No. 401 shelter]

[Reward: Shelter 401 administrator authority]

Looking at the light blue pop-up window that appeared in front of him, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

Good guy.

As soon as I entered, I triggered the task of obtaining administrator permissions.

Is it that simple?
"Refuge No. 401 has four floors. The first and second floors are the living area, the third floor is the entertainment area, and the fourth floor is the planting area. Theoretically, the maximum number of people sheltered here is 1600 people. In fact, it is no problem to accommodate 2000 people."

Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

"One more floor than Vault 117."

Professor Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Yes, but the budget of Vault 117 is much higher than ours. Their per capita living area can even reach 40 square meters, while ours is only half of theirs."

Speaking of this, a trace of emotion appeared on the old man's face.

"Can't bear the closed space, many people choose to freeze hibernation...including me. However, freezing hibernation can't solve the problem. As the energy reserves gradually fall below the warning line, we have to wake up from hibernation. Head to the surface to find hope before you can."

The expression on Chu Guang's face was a little subtle.

Twenty square meters per capita also deserves to be called occlusion?
Then his Vault 404 is not in jail.

But there are so many rooms here, which is a great help to Chu Guang.

Currently, Shelter 117 has been transformed into a double room by him, and the player capacity has been increased from 500 to 1000.

Counting the 401 "beds" in Shelter 2000, as long as 400 more rooms are squeezed out, it will not be a big problem to stuff the new players in Beta0.1 version!

The most urgent task now is to find the fuel rods, restore the power here, and inherit the authority of the administrator here.

Following in the footsteps of Professor Sun Zewen, Chu Guang walked around the refuge.

Compared with the comfort-focused shelters of Vault 117, the ones here are somewhat research institute style.

The area of ​​the single room is between 20 and 30 square meters, with an independent bathroom and refrigerator. In many rooms, there are unfinished and rotten chocolates and biscuits in the refrigerator.

The living conditions here are definitely not bad.

There are even cocoa and coffee trees in the orchards in the growing area, but unfortunately, the plants here have long since died.

But to Chu Guang's surprise, when he walked to the back of the planting area, he found an unexpected surprise here.

It was a freezer in which seeds of more than a dozen crops were stored.

The seeds of cocoa and coffee trees are also preserved!
And the amount of reserves is not small!

Judging from the flashing light green signal light, the freezer is still running smoothly.

"Are the seeds inside still usable?" Chu Guang said excitedly.

Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Of course, the seed bank is independently powered...Even if the reactor is shut down, the seeds here can be preserved for another century or two. In fact, we planted part of it around the ecological park...It's just that the looters took over After here, those crops go to waste."

He didn't know the specific situation there.

Although the predators gave him a degree of freedom, they did not allow him to leave the confines of the ecological reserve, let alone the surrounding forest.

After visiting the planting area on the B4 floor, Chu Guang had a general understanding of the situation in Shelter 401.

The two returned to the entrance of the shelter.

Chu Guang glanced at the half-open giant alloy door, and suddenly asked.

"How many people were there when your doors first opened."

Sun Zewen thought for a while before answering.

"About seven hundred."

Chu Guang said unexpectedly.

"On the contrary, it has become less?"

Sun Zewen sighed.

"People who don't want to sleep are dying of old age. The living people are not optimistic enough about the future, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to reproduce. I heard that during the time I was sleeping, the manager broke the black box that produced contraceptive injections. But it turned out to be of no use at all ... It boils down to the fact that the shelter is too small, and there are always all kinds of problems."

Chu Guang: "What about the rest?"

Sun Zewen: "Most of the residents of the first generation died of old age, some of the residents of the new generation died in the waves, some became seriously ill because of the unaccustomed environment, and then the things you already know happened... In short, the only ones who are still alive now include me There are seven of them."

After a pause, the old man continued.

"Manager of Vault 404, I have a treasure that I plan to dedicate to you."

Chu Guang looked at him curiously.

"What baby?"

Professor Sun Zewen showed a happy expression on his face.

"Black box! You are the manager, you must know what it is, so I won't explain much. One of the black boxes is for the production of blue coats, and the other is for the production of VM. The former's variable temperature material is a good thing, and the latter The usage is even wider, not only can it be converted into a survival tool for various purposes, but it can also recycle carbon nanoelectronic components."

Chu Guang looked at the old man in surprise.

"Those looters didn't get away?"

Professor Sun Zewen smiled.

"Predator? Those vulgar savages don't understand this kind of treasure. I have no reason to tell them those good things... But you are different. You are the manager of the shelter. I believe you will be able to make good use of our treasures." heritage."

"But the problem now is... We had a small situation before. The black box was locked in the manager's office. If you want to open the door of the manager's office, you have to restart the reactor first."

In other words, if you want to recover the black box, you must first restore the shelter's power supply?

Chu Guang said with a happy expression.

"thanks for your trust!"

"I assure you that we will make good use of this heritage."

The scientific expedition team was already searching for clues to the fuel rods, and Yin Fang replied that the problem was not a big one, and it would be resolved within a week if possible.

Although Chu Guang already has the black box for producing VMs, who would mind having one more?

Like the black boxes that produce hibernation pods, more of this versatile stuff is of course better.

As for the black box that produced the blue coat, it was a surprise for Chu Guang.

The blue jacket made of variable temperature material can automatically adjust the material's air permeability and heat dissipation according to the external environment, so that the wearer's body temperature can be maintained in a comfortable range as much as possible.

From now on, players no longer have to be afraid to go out in the "out-of-print skin" blue coat because they are worried that the fabric of the clothes will become less and less!

……

"Wasteland OL" official website.

Today's forum is as lively as ever.

The reason is that the Jungle Corps posted their battle videos on the forum.

Those macho men in heavy armor and holding machine guns really attracted the attention of many players of the same sex, so much so that at least half of the thousands of new reservation players filled in the questionnaire with the strength system as their first choice superior.

In contrast, the Burning Corps suffered a little.

Although the single-round combat effectiveness of the Burning Corps is obviously higher than that of the Jungle Corps, but the personalized configuration of the Corps makes them not recognizable enough in small-scale battles.

to be honest.

No matter how efficient the Butan collaboration is, it is not as visually impactful as the torrent of steel. Ten KV-1 exoskeletons welded with steel plates are lined up. The scene of the machine gun shooting alone is enough to make people excited.

However, although most of the limelight was taken away by the Jungle Corps, the mosquito's air strike still surprised many onlookers.

Especially the incendiary bomb that was dropped at the end made the two directors of the No. 81 factory next door call it unscientific.

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and ask: "Fuck! Did you get all the incendiary bombs out?"

Ward's athlete's foot who Levine: "Dude, what's your thickener made of?"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Guess! (smirk)"

Chasing Soul: "Use sodium soap solution and aluminum sulfate water to make fatty acid aluminum soap, thickening fuel is not easy! Dish!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "???"

Turn down my voice and I'm Bron: "Awesome!!! It's still your punishment!"

Doomsday lone wolf: "I suggest you go to the bureau to file a case..."

Most of the old players' posts revolved around the tactics and gameplay of the updated corps system in the B-round test, or discussed the new map of the East District of Qingquan City.

The entire Eastern District is completely a virgin forest.

The vegetation density and air humidity here are much higher than those in the north and west of Qingquan City, and there are a large number of wild alien species active in the collapsed ruins and jungle-covered streets.

In addition to the Ironback Ape and Silver-mouthed Snake, Brother Fang Zhang summed up several common monsters and updated them in the post for other players' reference.

This time, not only Brother Fang, but also Kuangfeng wrote a post for the first time, and hung up the photos he took of shelter 401.

When Yin Fang went to the refuge to recover the data, he happened to receive an escort mission, and the photo was taken at that time.

"... Shelter 401 is the same as Shelter 404. The power source is suspected to be a controllable fusion reactor. However, because the energy source has been exhausted, the shelter is currently in an abandoned state."

"I found the task of looking for fuel rods on the scientific expedition team. Here, I suggest that you brush up the professional level of the scientific expedition team when you have time. Although the task period of the scientific expedition team is long, the level has gone up and you can complete a whole course. The rewards given by the task chain are quite rich."

The wording of the wind is more subtle.

Considering that these guys are always clamoring to plan a knife attack, they did not disclose how much they received from Yin Fang.

But having said that, even knowing that the missions of the scientific expedition team are highly profitable, most players still prefer the missions of the Hunter Union.

After all, the former always travels more than ten kilometers, goes deep into no-man's land and fights unknown dangers, and collects and searches for files and data whose existence is unknown.

Even a small mistake may cause the whole team to pay for nothing.

Without absolute confidence in the strength of themselves and their teammates, few non-hardcore players would choose such high-risk, high-reward tasks.

While the old players were exchanging their strategy experience, the newbies of the B-round test also posted their "beta test comments" on the gossip section where there is no threshold for posting.

Luo Yu: "This game is too difficult. (T▽T)"

Feng Qing: "Isn't there a simpler monster? Those screaming eaters are too scary. QAQ"

Bai Kedai said: "Yes, cockroaches are much easier to bully than gnawers. When they come out, they don't make any sound at all, but they are quiet. (Funny)"

The sixth child in the corner: "Hey, the current Mengxin can't bear a bit of hardship! Back then, when we first entered the game, we encountered Inspur and started the hell mode directly."

Quit smoking: "Damn, don't brag! When I first entered the game, I was chased by eaters, I can't stand it anymore!"

Unprofessional retort: ​​"Damn! These guys say that pigs are so cute on the forum every day, and they like pigs so much, but when they meet, they either want to pick up my pants or ask me for a notebook. No girl will team up with me." !Ki! ヽ(`Д)”

It's difficult for others: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows..

Unprofessional retort: ​​"Good brother! Here I come! QAQ"

Irena: "Fast forward to Brother Qiang. (funny)"

Fujito: "There is still a CP that I can't drink. I'm still too young. (T▽T)"

Crow: "???"

Aww sesame paste: "Meow meow?"

……

Vault 404.

After spending the whole morning, Chu Guang moved the manager's office to the browsing room on the B4 floor.

There are not only ready-made furniture here, but also a separate shower room, and the space is large enough, and the environment is much better than his previous simple office.

Anyway, this floor is not suitable for opening to other players, idle is idle, it is better to use the space here.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Chu Guang drank the happy water that he endorsed, while browsing the official website forum, to see what new jobs his little players did that he didn't expect.

It has been a week since the launch of the Beta round.

In the past four days, 30 to 40 new players have entered the game every day, and the number of players on the server has increased from 1500 to 1620.

"Will it break the 2000 mark in two weeks?"

Chu Guang glanced at the tablet beside him.

It lists last week's expenditures by department.

One of the most eye-catching lines is task expenditure.

In the past week, the rewards of missions issued by the refuge to all players have reached nearly 90 silver coins.

And the per capita daily income of players also increased to 97 silver coins.

Of course, this number is mainly pulled up by players in the T0~T2 echelon, and the income growth curve of players before LV10 is relatively flat.

Chu Guang also found out recently.

The inflation caused by sending money to players is actually not as high as expected.

On the one hand, players have an internal circulation economic system. The money earned by player A is either spent by player B, or spent in NPC stores run by "shelter collectives", and a very small part will flow directly into the market.

Another one is that players do not need to support their families, nor do they have the need to have children. At most, they eat a lot. In addition, everyone has the habit of saving money, so the spending power is not as high as imagined.

The storage balance system established by Chu Guang in the early version has stabilized the prices of basic materials such as grain and minerals to a certain extent.

After several rounds of updates and adjustments, this system has developed relatively well.

However, it is unrealistic to expect a one-size-fits-all approach to solve all problems.

As the number and level of players continue to rise, new problems gradually emerge.

It takes too long for new players to gather a set of equipment, and it takes half a month to complete a set of equipment. Old players have too many silver coins in their pockets to spend, so they have to raise the price of high-end equipment to the sky.

How to let new players get enough game experience, and make old players more motivated to make money?
Very simple.

Build a "reservoir" into which excess silver coins can be filled.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened up, tapped on the keyboard, and created a new folder.

【Beta0.2 Version Update: Silver Coin Trading System】

[Modification: Players who have obtained VM can digitize silver coin assets, synchronize them to the official website forum account in real time, and trade with other players in the form of digital currency. 】

[Note: Cloud players can also participate in transactions. 】

Of course, this is only the first draft, and the specific trading rules still need to be carefully designed.But these are minor issues, and there are too many cases that can be used for reference.

Looking at the edited document, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Although it is inconvenient for him to send RMB directly to players who work hard, there is always someone who can do these things for him.

What chips, dinars, and CRs are a hammer.

Can your native currency be converted into money?

Chu Guang will not only give players a reason to work harder to make money, but also let them obediently hand over the foreign exchange earned from other survivor settlements to him.

As the value of silver coins grows, more "useful" pro players should be born later.

"Don't you think you can't afford the equipment?"

"Aren't you clamoring for PY every day?"

"It's open, let's play."
