This game is too real.

Chapter 342 Is it really a game made by aliens? !
"Have you met the manager?"

"Yes."

In the wilderness to the north of Xizhou City, a few howling wolves could be faintly heard in the distance.

Standing next to the simple tent, Xavier held the phone in his hand, his expression full of respect.

The person talking to him at this moment is none other than Sigma, the uncrowned king of the Buguera Free State and the president and chairman of the Flint Group.

After briefly asking about the manager's situation, Sigma continued to ask about his most concerned matters.

"Where's Dillon?"

Xavier said in a serious tone.

"Dillon... is dead."

There was a brief silence on the communication channel.

Sigma asked slowly.

"How did you die?"

Xavier answered truthfully.

"The New Alliance says he died on the field and was buried right there in the trenches near the pine forest..."

When saying these words, Xavier was full of tension.

Although the Great Rift Valley is the suzerain of the Buguera Free State, the Legion is the main trading partner of the Firestone Group.

He didn't know what agreement the boss had reached with the legion, but his intuition told him that Dillon's identity should not be simple.

Fortunately, the boss is a sensible person and did not take his anger on him.

It took a while to calm down, and the voice on the other end of the communication channel continued to ask.

"……trade agreement?"

Xavier said shamefully.

"It didn't work out... They only agreed to give us a certain preference in tariffs, and only for non-ammunition products. As for exploration rights and mining rights, they don't plan to talk to us."

"How strong are they?"

There was a hint of sharpness in that voice, like a sharp blade.

Xavier trembled slightly in his heart, lowered his voice subconsciously, and said cautiously.

"They probably have two thousand-man teams. They are small in number, but their individual strength is strong. The other is their weapons. Although their equipment is not advanced, they are sufficient in number and very special in design... The Ya Clan's defeat is not unjust. .”

There was silence on the other end of the communication channel.

He seemed to be lost in thought.

After a long time, his boss spoke slowly.

"I see, you come back first, I have other tasks for you."

Xavier breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully.

"As ordered."

……

Three days have passed since the end of the auction.

real world.

In the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a certain laboratory is working overtime.

"...how... how did you do it?"

Staring at the picture on the computer screen, Academician Liu Yiping's face was full of disbelief.

A soft artificial SEI film with a thickness of less than 100 nanometers is like a magical barrier.

Yes.

That series of magical properties is almost like magic.

It has exceptional mechanical strength, high stability and a single ion channel.

The high electronegativity on the open metal sites in the coordination polymer channel can effectively improve the transfer number of Li+ in the composite film and the conductivity of a single ion channel.

And this series of exquisite designs enable it to effectively inhibit the generation of side reactions, regulate the deposition of Li+ on the negative electrode, and effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites, thereby maintaining the stability of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery.

Simply incredible!
"...Professor, the data analysis of the charge-discharge cycle group has yielded results." A researcher wearing glasses walked over, and his face with dark circles also had a ghostly expression.

Withdrawing his gaze from the screen, Professor Liu Yiping looked at his students and said immediately.

"Bring it to me to see!"

"Here..." The researcher handed out the USB flash drive.

Three days is certainly not enough for the entire research team to read all the documents.

But it is completely enough for them to use the most advanced equipment to restore the [No. 404 artificial SEI film] in the laboratory according to the method given in the data.

After the membrane is produced, the next step is to test the performance of the membrane.

The scientific research dogs in the project team quickly made a set of simple lithium battery models, using lithium sheets as the negative electrode.

These materials are not difficult to obtain, and the most indispensable thing in the whole laboratory is electrochemical related things.

After disassembling the pouched battery at the end of the cycle and transferring it to the observation area under non-air conditions through the in-situ transfer box, they quickly obtained the 3D image of the sample surface under the scanning electron microscope and the 2D projection under the transmission electron microscope.

And all of this is to get more information about that membrane.

These tasks seem to be very simple, but in fact it took them a lot of time.

During these three days, his research team did nothing, and put all their energy on the 10 G data.

In fact, after getting such a result, there is no need to continue the project they did before...

Inserting the USB flash drive into the computer and looking at the image on the screen, academician Liu Yiping suddenly had a wry smile on his face.

Squeezing the sour brows, he sat on the office chair and repeated that sentence over and over again.

"...How did you do it?"

The researcher standing aside did not speak, but it was obvious that he also wanted to ask this question.

Three days ago, when they first got the document, everyone in the project team thought it was a joke.

An open question in academia.

Even at the last academic conference, they were still discussing possible feasible directions, and whether the lithium battery path is worth continuing.

As a result, someone suddenly claimed that he had found the standard answer.

And it uses a direction that no one has tried.

This unbelievable thing, no matter how you think about it, looks like an April Fool's Day joke.

This is not a question of possibility, but logically it is difficult to establish.

If you use existing technology to design a product according to specific needs, whether it is a weapon or a water bottle, it is not difficult to keep it secret.

Frontier research, however, is quite different.

This is not a question of whether it is public or not at all, but that there is no way to do it behind closed doors.

After entering the 20th century, scientific research has become a systematic thing.

The role of individuals in the system is more like a "wafer" on a CPU than a CPU.

Except for the occasional birth of one or two geniuses in the field of mathematics who "work behind closed doors and go out together", research in most fields is already "legionary warfare".

Although there are also teams that, in order to take the lead in their own research direction, suppress the phased results and release nuclear bombs, but what the colleagues are doing is basically impossible to hide.

"... There is a detailed description of the reaction mechanism on page 13 of Document No. 27, but we have not observed it on the equipment."

"Is it not observed, or not observed." The old man asked carefully.

The researcher hesitated and spoke slowly.

"To be precise...it is the former. Our equipment can observe the deposition process of lithium dendrites on the control group, but how Li+ passes through that film...we have no way to capture its path, and we may need to target this Redesign a set of experimental methods for membrane materials."

"With us alone, it may take a long time...unless we can find the research team that produced these results."

"But it's too strange. I just looked through the records of the last two academic conferences, and I didn't find any discussion on this research direction at all. The only few similar ones... If you look closely, they are very different."

At this time, the researcher sitting on the table next to him suddenly sighed with emotion.

"I don't know which boss suddenly released the nuclear bomb."

"Is there such a talented person in the field of materials science?"

"I counted on my fingers, but I can't figure out who it is..."

"Speaking of which, what should we do next? Will the previous projects continue?"

"Maybe it's time to change direction... It will take a while for the industry to fully digest this thing, let alone ask new questions."

"Hey...Three years, it's been a waste of time. Fortunately, I finished my graduation thesis a few years ago."

"It can't be regarded as a waste of work. Some phased results are still very interesting. But the SEI film... there is really no way to go."

Listening to the discussion of the students, Professor Liu Yiping did not speak, but he was also thinking about many things in his heart.

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

He picked up his phone and went outside.

The phone was connected, and a fiery voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.

"Old Liu, what happened?"

Liu Yiping said.

"That film has already been made."

Hearing these words, the voice on the other end of the phone was visibly more excited.

"Is it useful?"

Liu Yiping said with emotion: "It's not just easy to use... It really shocked me."

Strictly speaking, even the popular lithium-ion batteries on the market can benefit from this technology.

And if it is to design a new set of batteries for pure lithium anodes, it will not be difficult technically.

Electrolyte, positive electrode materials, and separators, the industrial chain of these components are all ready-made.

It is equivalent to changing the industry chain of the battery positive electrode on the basis of the original industry chain, and adding an additional "paint" production line, which will immediately make this technology come in handy.

He can even imagine the crazy expressions on the faces of friends in the industry after learning about this technology.

That must be wonderful.

The old man on the other end of the phone continued to ask: "What about the cost? Is it difficult to industrialize?"

Liu Yiping quickly replied.

"The specific cost is a problem for the industry. Laboratory preparation and industrial preparation are two different things. However, I looked at the process flow given in the information. According to my understanding of the industry, it should not be very difficult to make. difficult."

"Great! Hahaha, you've really worked hard this time!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with obvious joy.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." After a pause, Academician Liu suddenly said, "By the way... I have a request, I don't know if it's appropriate to make it."

The old man on the other end of the phone said immediately.

"Please tell me! If I can help, I will definitely help!"

"If possible, I would like to meet the team that researched those materials, or meet their person in charge." After a pause, Academician Liu briefly omitted those complicated technical details, and continued, "There are many things , I want to ask him for advice."

What the industry is interested in is the membrane, but what he is interested in is how this membrane is made and how he thought of doing it.

Know what it is, know why it is.

It doesn't take much time to copy a homework, but it is not so easy to understand the homework and understand the problem-solving ideas.

For a scientific researcher who seeks the truth, the results, methods, and ideas are indispensable.

In three days, they only understood half of the information.

And the remaining half may take three months, or even three years to fully understand.

Academic progress is not only the accumulation of achievements, but also the improvement of tools and methods while obtaining achievements.

He wanted to have a good chat with the man who beat them.

Those who are academically advanced are teachers, and he believes that this will benefit a lot.

There was silence on the phone for a while.

"Old Liu... If it's something else, forget it. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Academician Liu hesitated for a while, and said seriously.

"Can you give me a reason?"

The person on the phone sighed.

"... After reading those materials, how do you feel?"

Academician Liu said straightforwardly.

"Unbelievable."

the old man asked.

"How incredible is it?"

Academician Liu was silent for a while, then coughed lightly and said.

"...Don't laugh at me when I say it."

The old man said with a smile.

"Speak, your opinion is also very important to us."

After hesitating for a moment, Academician Liu finally expressed his truest thoughts.

Although in a joking tone.

"...it looks like it was made by aliens."

The phone was silent for a while.

Academician Liu was slightly embarrassed.

Just when he was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, a soft sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"...I can't tell you clearly on the phone, I just plan to come over, please wait for me for a while."

After speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

Academician Liu, who was holding the phone, froze for a moment, his expression gradually became strange.

Is it really an alien?

Don't be so ridiculous...

……

"...It seems that we are not the only ones who think so! Academician Liu also thinks that these technologies don't seem to be developed by research teams on Earth."

"Speaking of which, the last time we consulted Academician Gao seemed to say so."

"It appears our initial speculation was correct."

"I didn't expect that the third kind of contact would unfold in this form, it's incredible!"

Somewhere, in the office, discussions are raging.

The leader of the task force received a call from Academician Liu just now, and now he has gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the old team leader, the "reverse work" of the membrane material went quite smoothly, and the cost was within an acceptable range, and the product could be seen in a short time.

Hearing this news, everyone in the task force was very happy, which shows that their work has produced results.

"By the way, is there any news from Academician Gao?" A colleague suddenly asked.

The colleague sitting next to him answered.

"Academician Gao? You mean the expert in the mining industry we consulted before?"

"That's right, didn't Lao Li give him the website? I don't know if he went up to read it."

"I didn't ask, it's not easy to ask about this."

At this time, a staff member spoke.

"I think our strategy is still too conservative. We should propose to the superiors to control the players."

This is indeed one of the options.

However, his proposal did not receive the support of many people.

Soon someone said.

"I object, what about the risk? Have you considered it?"

"What's the risk when you get the job done?" the man retorted, "And don't you think it's more efficient?"

"I don't think at all that the efficiency you think is just what you think. And what does it mean that the people trust their own organization, the organization trusts its own people, and control people? Do you distrust the organization or the people? This kind of thinking There is a big problem!"

More than a big problem, it is simply reactionary!

However, considering that this comrade also had good intentions and only said this out of a little impatience, the colleague who held an opposing opinion did not speak so seriously.

Seeing that the old-fashioned topic was about to be debated in the office again, the man with a square face coughed lightly, interrupting their argument.

"...Okay, don't discuss the things that have already been discussed. The above means to be cautious and maintain the status quo. The team leader and I also have the same idea."

"Rushlessly intervening in the game process will not only make the mistakes of laymen guiding experts and interventionism, but also easily lead to uncontrollable results."

"Since the current rules are beneficial to us, what we have to do now is not to change the rules and turn our own tables, but to maintain the rules and maintain our advantage."

Looking around at the colleagues present, the man with a square face continued.

"Let's talk about some practical topics. This 'technology introduction' actually exposed our lack of preparation."

"The platform for foreign exchange purchases was opened a long time ago. The other party actually gave us a long time to prepare, but at that time no one paid enough attention to it, so that we rushed to the last day to concentrate on purchasing, but it was embarrassing that we couldn't buy it. Instead, speculators who entered the market early took the opportunity to make a fortune."

Originally, this transaction should be completed by a central enterprise with a state-owned background, so that technology transformation can begin immediately after the technology is introduced.

However, the time was too short.

In such a short period of time, there is no time to connect with specific companies.

They can only act in a hurry, buy the technology back first, and then decide how to use it, specifically which unit and which person in charge.

There are too many things involved behind this.

The man with glasses nodded.

"It's true...we can't just rush every time. Especially with this precedent, the next time news is released, speculators active on the trading platform will definitely push up the price."

The staff member who proposed to control the players earlier said with a sigh.

"If it's just a little bit more expensive, it's okay. Problems that can be solved by money are not problems. I'm afraid that the temporary suspension of trading will be like last time, and even if you have money, you won't be able to buy in."

The trader who traded before also nodded and said.

"That's right, and with the method of increasing holdings by driving ducks to the shelves, a blind person can tell who is buying. If I were a speculator, I couldn't help but come up and take a cut."

If it is slowly increasing holdings, it is impossible to see who is buying.

But with yesterday's posture, they can count how many cards the other party has in their hands without even using a pen.

"...Our current silver coin reserve is still 200 million, which is still too low. My suggestion is to set up a 'Technology Introduction Fund' and draw a few professional traders from the financial system. Long-term stable Increase holdings."

"Is it just to build up foreign exchange reserves?" A colleague at the desk next to him joked.

The trader said with a smile.

"Why not? Although we don't know what they need, they have the technology we need. If you understand players as labor exports, we should also pay those workers who help us earn 'foreign exchange'."

The eyes of the man with the square face lit up.

"It makes sense, this suggestion is good, I will write it in the report and report it to my superiors!"

Seeing that his opinion was taken seriously, the trader also opened up the chatterbox and continued talking.

"... Let's talk about it, not only to establish a normalized foreign exchange purchase mechanism, but also to clarify the way of foreign exchange purchase. For example, the money for introducing technology cannot always go to the state. We have to encourage those who benefit from technology Enterprises will use part of their profits to purchase technology, so as to form a virtuous circle.”

On the surface, the money they bought for the silver coins was distributed to the players, but in fact it was the enterprises that obtained the technology that were subsidized.

You can do this once or twice, but if you do it for a long time, you will definitely have problems.

Frequent micro-management will not only have opinions from above, but also opinions from below.

Everyone gave advice and suggestions, and the man with a square face took notes meticulously. It didn't take long for several pages to be filled, and the pen was almost smoking.

The specific details of this "Extraterrestrial Civilization Technology Introduction Fund" have to be discussed in detail with other departments before making a decision, but the general direction can already be determined.

Looking at the book full of notes, the man with the square face was feeling emotional, and suddenly had a strange thought.

By the way, is Ah Guang's usual work like this?

Staring at the forum, taking notes, and playing games.

If this is the case, it seems that the planning of "Wasteland OL" is really not so easy...

……

While the relevant departments of various countries were meeting to discuss countermeasures, the forum on the official website of "Wasteland OL" was very lively.

"Wuuuuuuu, brother Aguang, when will your bank exchange be open?"

"Hey! It's been locked for three days, the network fluctuations can't be so long, right?"

"I'm crying, if I don't open the dishes again, the family will not be able to open the pot! QAQ"

"Laughing to death, I almost believed it!"

On the day when the expansion pack just ended, any player with silver coins in their pockets, as long as they are not too greedy to suppress the sale, or want to imitate others by selling high and buying low, and repeatedly jumping sideways to earn the price difference, basically I made crazy money on that wave.

Can't uncover the pot?

nonexistent.

Even Meng Xin, who just entered the game and only had a few hundred silver coins in his pocket, made a profit of [-] to [-] by taking advantage of the price increase.

Although this means that you have to go to the game again to move bricks, but everything is worth it!
The war is over, and all industries are waiting to be flourished. It is the time to work hard to build production and consolidate the fruits of victory. How can we spend money on pleasure?
For the league!

Awesome!
Browsing the forum on the official website, Chu Guang was very pleased to see that his little players had just come down from the front line, and then ran to the construction site non-stop.

He also shared his work experience on the forum as if showing off.

This is indeed something to brag about.

In the past, the beta test qualification was worthless, but now a helmet is worth 100 million if it is less, and it is worthless if it is too much.

Of course, "going to the construction site" is just a figurative statement.

There are still many ways for Wasteland OL to make money.

Although there are quite a few strength-type players who moved bricks on the construction site, more players took their loot and went to nearby survivor settlements like Honghe Town to run business.

In order to let his little players have something to do, Chu Guang also tried his best to reject all opinions, and under the surprised eyes of old Charlie, Luca and other logistics officials, he approved an infrastructure plan with a budget of 2 million silver coins!

This plan covers the railroads of the New Alliance, as well as the construction of Dawn City.Relevant resources will be given priority to enterprises run by players, followed by enterprises run by NPCs.

I believe that the little players will appreciate their generosity!
As for the silver coin trading platform that was suspended due to "network fluctuations", Chu Guang was not in a hurry to open it.

On the one hand, the players have no spare cash in their pockets, and at this time, all the players involved in the transaction are speculators.

On the one hand, the "big investors" in reality are still studying strategies for the next stage, and new funds will have to wait for a while to enter the market.

At this time, the opening of the market is meaningless except to let those speculators cut leeks.

Whether it is a cloud player or a player, it takes time.

And Chu Guang is also waiting for an opportunity.

He was waiting for the technology in the game to be projected into reality, for the seeds he sowed to sprout a sap.

This shouldn't take long.

After all, it was a technology he personally selected based on actual needs.

Not to mention that the objects he cooperates with come from the same place as those excellent little players...
