】

Heaven's Beta0.5 is finally overdue.

Although there is no mention of the news of the new expansion piece, the series of information in the announcement is still enough to attract attention.

Especially the fifth one!

The number of beta testers has increased from over [-] to [-]!
The daily average number of test qualifications issued has doubled!
With the effective of the ceasefire agreement and the end of the "Wasteland OL" expansion pack, the release speed of the "Wasteland OL" beta test qualification has slowed down significantly, and the number of releases in a single day has even dropped to single digits!

Now a new batch of helmets has suddenly arrived. For those pre-order players on the forum whose legs are numb, it is undoubtedly the rain after a long drought.

Young and frivolous: "Ah Guang, you are my father!! You understand!"

A netizen from the north: "Brother Meng, where is the helmet produced! Free work is free, just pay for a helmet!"

Cheerful netizen: "[-] million dollars to buy a helmet!!! TT"

Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "I'm a student, who can do me a favor, can you send me a package for free. TT"

Master Ao Nai I He: "Garbage games! Dogs don't even play! Bah! Crap!"

Professor Yang of the Thunder Dharma King: "Cut, you have the ability to mark the appointment with a fork before you talk! (rolling eyes)"

Although the probability of winning a helmet is still the same as winning the lottery compared to the huge reservation base, it still brings a little hope to tens of millions of players who are looking forward to it.

The probability of one in a thousand is better than the one in ten thousand before.

As for why "Wasteland OL" suddenly increased the release of beta test qualifications, the discussion on the official website forum is also full of opinions.

Some people analyze from a realistic point of view that it is due to the maturity of the industry, the increase in helmet production and the increase in server capacity.

In other words, everyone is not far from the public beta!

Another group of people analyzed it from the perspective of "supply and demand", thinking that this is the official game paving the way for the release of the next expansion.

After all, the territory of the alliance has increased so much, and the area for player activities has also increased countless times. It is necessary to ensure that there are players in each "big area".

Otherwise, if the map is made and no one goes there, isn't it for nothing?
In addition to these rational analyses, there are also some wild analyses.

For example, Grandpa Aonai, Wohe and his fans all agree that the leeks are not enough to cut, and the dog schemer is just cheating. Except for Lao Tzu himself, everyone on the forum is a trumpet!

There are also some people who have made up their minds about human experiments and conspiracy theories, thinking that this is a major conspiracy to overturn the global economy!
There are also a very small number of people who never participate in the discussion. They default that this is a positive signal for the further release of goodwill from the extraterrestrial civilization, so they increase their efforts to increase their holdings of silver coins without saying a word, and silently take what they need from the auction, muffled Make a fortune.

It is really not common to spend hundreds of millions or billions to buy an innovative key technology and create a market worth tens or even hundreds of billions.

If it weren't for the small scale of the experiments of extraterrestrial civilizations, they would like to buy more!

Facts have proved that the perspective of any person and organization has certain limitations, and people can only make guesses that are bound to be subjective based on the information they have collected.

In fact, there are not so many "reasons" at all. Chu Guang himself was very confused, and the gene sequence he had been thinking about suddenly appeared.

[Hidden mission completed:]

[Explanation: The mother nest located on the B6 floor was completely swallowed by the mother body of the abnormal life form, triggering the "flag6.2" judgment, and the "B6 floor biological experiment accident" event ended. 】

[Remarks: This may be an unexpected result. 】

[Task reward: 18000 gene sequences. 】

The browsing room on the B4 floor.

Looking at the light blue pop-up window that appeared in front of him, Chu Guang, who had just returned from the celebration, sat on the sofa with a strange expression.

I remember that just three days ago, when he just came back from the front line, he was still complaining to the branch-like computer in the room at the end of the B4 floor that he was not qualified enough for the test.

Unexpectedly, in less than 72 hours, the problem he complained to the shelter was perfectly resolved.

And it gave so much at once!

40 helmets, as long as the speed of issuing beta test qualifications is controlled between 50 and [-], it will be enough for the whole year of next year!

or……

Make a wish there again?
However, this idea only stayed in Chu Guang's mind for less than a second before he dismissed it.

According to his previous speculation, the manager's work log, the release speed of the gene sequence, and various trigger conditions should be pre-set.

Even if you put incense on the first-generation managers yourself, it's probably useless.

What makes Chu Guang more concerned is the "flag6.2" that appears in the description column.If he remembered correctly, when he first unlocked the B6 floor, the triggered judgment was "flag6".

That is to say, in addition to the possibility judgment that he has already triggered, there are actually a series of options such as "flag6.1", or even 6.3, 6.4...6.x, etc.?

"Does it correspond to another possibility...?" Looking at the text on the light blue screen, Chu Guang fell into deep thought.

Although he was curious about the results of the other options, from the description of the mission, this incident was already over.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to save and read files, and the ending of the other route can only be seen by his other self in the parallel world.

But he believes the future of the road is bright.

This is a choice he and the players made together. He believes that even if the future is full of ups and downs, Luo Yu and Xiao Yu, including himself, will not regret it.

After all, the road is chosen by oneself.

With a light wave of his index finger in the air, he closed the light blue holographic window. Chu Guang was about to go back to his room to rest, when Heya's communication request came suddenly.

"Xiao Yu has a new situation—"

"Is it fully awake?"

"You already know? I almost forgot that you can watch the monitor. Yes, it has woken up, and it seems that it has something to say to you."

Looking at the excited Heya on the screen, Chu Guang nodded.

"I'll come over now."

After the communication, Chu Guang immediately left for the B6 floor and arrived at the biological laboratory. Heya was already waiting for him at the door of the buffer workshop.

"Come on."

After seeing Chu Guang, she beckoned, and then excitedly walked towards the computer room.

Chu Guang walked behind her for a while, and soon saw Xiao Yu who was fully awake.

It is like a crowned queen, sitting in the center of the room, the sea-like light red creeper is its skirt, and the abstract facial features are becoming more and more human-like.

Ten slightly younger human-shaped fruiting entities stood quietly in front of it, the lower body connected to the light red skirt, just like its children.

In a sense, it does absorb part of human culture and the intellectual part of human nature.

For example, its queen-like appearance at the moment is the embodiment of its own cognition and acquired aesthetics. Even those tentacles that were originally ferocious and slightly scary have evolved into relatively round and cute ones. that one.

For another example, when it learned from the researchers in the laboratory that the "iron bumps" in the computer room were very important to the laboratory, it did not occupy them unreasonably like animals, but politely took those servers Let it out.

It also likes humans to help it implant earphones in its fruiting bodies and install microphones in its room, and it learns quickly.

Chu Guang could feel that when he stood at the door and looked at it, its mood fluctuated obviously.

In the long "Yiuuu" sound like the cry of a dolphin, there is obvious joy and intimacy.

"It seems to regard you as a father or a mother," Heya said jokingly, "Should I say congratulations?"

Chu Guang rolled his eyes at her, walked into the machine room alone, stood beside the escalator, and shouted with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

The loud voice echoed in the room, blending into the pale red sea.

Chu Guang thought it would babble back to him, but he didn't expect it to learn to speak, speaking in an intermittent voice.

"...I, feel good, thank you."

It is in Chinese.

Because Luo Yu has been using the player's language to communicate with it, it naturally learned the player's language as well.

After a while, Chu Guang will ask researchers to teach it the human-linked language that is common in the world, so that it can communicate with more people without translation tools.

"Can you talk?"

Xiao Yu said each word in a hoarse and quiet voice.

"Learned, but the language is not efficient. But, for communication, I can learn."

Chu Guang tried to understand its meaning from a linguistic point of view.

For a language, the smaller the uncertainty, the smaller the information entropy, and the smaller the amount of information it carries.In short, to describe the same thing, a language with less information entropy needs to use more characters or syllables to describe. The advantage is accuracy, but the disadvantage is redundancy.Languages ​​with higher information entropy only need fewer characters and syllables to describe, the advantage is conciseness, and the disadvantage is inaccuracy.

Humans can communicate more accurately and conveniently with language, but for a "hive creature" like Xiaoyu, information is often transmitted one-way from the mother hive to the fruiting body, and language is an inefficient way of communication. A babble of frequency is no substitute for a thousand words of description for the fruiting entity to know what to do next.

Of course, this is just Chu Guang's own speculation, and what he guessed in three seconds is probably one-sided.

"I'm glad you think so," Chu Guang smiled gently, and continued, "Your language is too abstract, and it's really too difficult for most of us."

Kohane took some time to think.

Maybe it's a benefit of evolution.

Chu Guang could clearly feel that Xiaoyu, who had transformed into a brood, had a little more wisdom in her eyes that she didn't have before.

Although only a little.

"Respect... the mother body of human beings, I can feel their trust in you, so you are their mother body, and they are your fruiting bodies... Can I understand this?"

After listening to the language that Xiaoyu spent a long time organizing, Chu Guang shook his head.

"Totally different, and I wouldn't advise you to do that."

"Then what are they...?"

"It's just people who trust me. They are different individuals with their own thoughts and behavioral logic."

"Then... how should I talk to you?" Xiao Yu's voice was filled with a hint of bewilderment and confusion.

Chu Guang could understand its uneasiness and confusion. A similar situation happened when the diplomats of the alliance first arrived in Ideal City.

The Supreme Council actually has no administrators.

Therefore, what can only be said to one person must be said to a group of people in a different way.

Fortunately, Shuyu's adaptability is not bad, and it's not the first time that the company's board of directors has come into contact with survivors in the wasteland, so the communication between the two sides has proceeded smoothly.

Xiaoyu's confusion lies in the fact that human beings do not have a hive with one heart and one body.

"Do you trust me?" Chu Guang looked at it and asked.

"Of course, and there is no doubt," Xiao Yu's voice was filled with strong emotions as the sea-wave-like crepe fluctuated, "You... are the first person I see after waking up, and you graciously give Give me the opportunity to grow up when I am immature, just like a loving father and mother.”

When she said this, Xiao Yu's voice suddenly became a little deeper.

"However, I occasionally worry... Whether it's you or Luo Yu, they may not be able to stay with me for a long time, and some memories will become things that only I remember one day in the future."

"Don't worry about those things. The future is left to the future. We only discuss the present," Chu Guang looked at Xiao Yu who was sitting in the middle of the computer room, and continued, "I just need to know that you trust me."

"Is this... enough?"

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded, "You and the rest of us have reached consensus on at least one thing. Since you all trust me, then your concerns are not problems. What's the matter?" You can communicate with me directly... just call my name with the mic we prepared for you."

Xiaoyu's mood stabilized a little, and she lowered her eyebrows slightly and said.

"thanks……"

Chu Guang smiled and said in a gentle tone.

"You're welcome, we are already on an unimagined path, and communication is the best way to resolve differences."

"If you have any confusion in the future, you must tell me!"

……

On the first day after the celebration ended, everything in the southern part of the River Valley Province seemed to be back on the normal track.

Except for a few envoys from the survivor settlements who were lingering on the prosperity of Dawn City and the glory of the Alliance and were reluctant to leave, most of the envoys brought the Alliance back to their hometown on the last day of the celebration.

联盟对其他势力的回礼是一组12支“冠军”牌注射剂，和一组12支诱导表达血清。前者是“全属性一定时间内增幅4%~20%”，后者打满四针有接近45%的概率觉醒。

Both things are black box products, which are not precious to the alliance, but to most small and medium-sized survivor forces, they can be regarded as an impeccable gift in terms of value and significance.

Of course, for important allies and forces that gave too expensive gifts, Chu Guang also gave an additional death claw cub.

As the envoy of the Buguera Free State and the salesman of the Flint Group, Xavier brought back the alliance's gift in the first place.

Although there has been a lot of friction between the two sides on a series of issues such as bone chewing tribes, tariffs, and arms trade, the problems have not deteriorated to the point of endless death.

After reporting the celebration and what he saw at the banquet to the president of the Flint Group, Xavier cautiously expressed his views.

"...The manager of the alliance is quite ambitious. I can clearly feel that he will not be satisfied with ruling the small piece of land in the south of the River Valley Province. It is difficult for me to judge his ability just by talking with him in a few words. But his language does have the magic power of demagogy, which is completely different from when I first met him in Xizhou City!"

"In addition, I have noticed that other envoys, even some envoys from distant regions who served the feudal monarchs, could not help but be attracted by the concepts of equality and unity he proclaimed, and some even planned to change their name to Alliance Survivor force."

With legs crossed on the desk, Sigma, who was dressed in leather shoes, played with the glass in his hand, and replied casually.

"It's nothing surprising. It's only a coincidence that he would be satisfied with the small area in the south of the River Valley Province... Hasn't the pioneering city already stretched its feet into the desert?"

"...The high level of the Free State thinks that may be just a cover to distract the attention of the Legion." Xavier whispered.

"It doesn't matter what the animals in the pigsty think."

Hearing the boss's casual ridicule, Xavier smiled wryly, and comforted himself in his heart, at least he was just an envoy of the Free State, not a high-level executive of the Free State, so he couldn't scold himself.

But his boss's statement is actually not a problem.

He himself occasionally feels that every time the Great Rift Valley interferes in the affairs of the Free State, it will make those leaders who are not very smart even more mentally retarded.

The Flint Group's prestige and dominance over the Free State will become even better than before because of the Great Rift Valley's reshuffle.

Xavier cleared his throat and continued.

"...One more thing, their administrators only ignored the representatives of Boulder City at the banquet, and based on my observations afterwards, I always have a very strong premonition."

"Big Rock City is estimated to be finished."

This sounds like a fantasy.

After all, Boulder City was also the overlord of the southern part of the River Valley Province in the past, and one of the successors to the legacy of the post-war reconstruction committee.

Therefore, when Xavier expressed his judgment, he hesitated in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that the president, Sigma, who was sitting behind the desk, just snorted lightly.

"Unexpected things."

Xavier froze slightly.

He didn't doubt the boss' judgment.

After all, he himself is just an envoy from the Free State, a salesman of the group, and there must be information behind it that he doesn't understand.

After a moment of silence, Xavier said in an uncertain voice.

"But I still have a little doubt... Didn't the alliance declare that it will not interfere with the outside world? They will immediately attack the Boulder City, which invested in them, will they be too hasty?"

"No external interference? Oh, that doesn't mean they are doing charity. The naive blue coats are almost dead these days, they're just flexible."

Sigma laughed lightly and continued.

"For example, Luoxia Province, even if the Golden Lizard Kingdom is the territory of the academy, and the Falcon is still under the control of the Legion, who would doubt that the Alliance is the master there?"

I heard that the Kingdom of the Golden Lizard erected a statue for its administrators with dinar melted gold. Although gold is worthless in the wasteland, their actions are worth pondering.

Send it out at the celebration, the academy will not say anything.

Once this battle is over, who in Luoxia province won't flirt with the alliance?In order to increase the foreign reserves of silver coins, the kingdoms have sold the price of grain to the bone!
"The alliance doesn't hold the river embankment in its own hands, just because indirect control can maximize benefits more than fierce plunder."

"In contrast, the Legion is not very smart. They brutally occupied the Honey Badger Kingdom, and tried their best to make up an excuse of 'the spirit of the sand sea prophesied the great unity in the desert'. What was the result? Even they themselves None of the allies believed in that. The Kingdom of Honey Badgers was more united than ever before. They fought guerrillas against the legion in the mountains, shot black guns in the city, and set fire to their farmland. The blitzkrieg of the legion took seven days, and the alliance snatched it It only took three days to come back."

If the Alliance chooses to occupy the Luoxia Province, even if it chooses a banner of equality to abdicate the king, there will be endless people who will resist them.

No matter how bad the royal family is, it is also the king blessed by the spirit of the sand sea.

So in Sigma's view, the alliance has done a very smart thing, which is to draw on the experience of the academy to a certain extent.

"In terms of dealing with regional affairs, the academy is much smarter than the legion. They provide patents and technologies, and the wastelanders help them produce them. Even if they take away the bulk, the wastelanders have nothing to say. And those powerful The Lanters, who laid down large tracts of land, only turned themselves into a weak fat man, and if they just averted their eyes for a moment, the slaves would start to slack off and even rebel against them."

"So the company's evaluation of the Legion is reasonable. Apart from playing coloring games for self-entertainment on the map, they hardly solve any existing problems in the wasteland."

However, although he gave the academy a high evaluation, Sigma didn't like the academy, because those people couldn't do business at all, and it was almost difficult for his Flint Group's branch to drive into the swamp, and it was a physical step. don't go.

In contrast, the Legion is much easier to talk about. As long as they can afford the dinar, even if it is a mutant business, they can't turn a blind eye.

Even if the marshal doesn't do it, the officers below will do it.

Therefore, Sigma looked down on the various analysis reports of the Free State's top management on the alliance. In his opinion, only fools who don't understand anything can use the simple diode thinking of good and evil to define the collective will. What about such pale things as good and evil?
Even corporations did the same dirty work a century and a half ago, and their way of "apology" was nothing more than hunting down the mutants in the province of clouds along the coastline.

"I don't understand what the alliance is doing...can't the city lord of Boulder City see it?" Xavier frowned and looked at the boss puzzled.

Sigma leaned back on the chair and said lazily.

"It's right if you don't understand, because you don't know what their city master is... If you want me to say, those guys from the Enlightenment Society are actually right. The most evil and useless organization, they think they have built settlements to protect the fire of civilization, but when they get closer, they are just pigpens, turning people into pigs."

For example, the Buguera Free State is the most typical example.

That old bastard was not reconciled to the failure of the post-war reconstruction committee, but he still hypocritically abided by the agreement not to intervene in wasteland affairs, so he built a "new pigsty" in front of his house and gave them a Buguera The name of the Free State.

They naively hope that relying on their "suggestions", this free pigsty will develop in a balanced manner and eventually replace the separated production, defense and technology departments.

Isn't this funny?

Fortunately, the survivors of the Free State have their own ideas, and most of them are not willing to be pigs in the pigsty, and they change and change under the guidance of a group of hard-of-hearing old stubbornes.

Through the efforts of generations, they made another rule on the rules that the Great Rift Valley made for them——

That is, use the "Firestone Group" to overhead the "Free State"!
The latter ruled the day as a cover for the suzerain, while the former ruled the night as the uncrowned king of the underground world!
In order to achieve their goals, they will appropriately use methods such as extortion, extortion, bribery, kidnapping, etc., to coerce the officials of the Free State to become their own people.

In this way, no matter how many times the Great Rift Valley tried to interfere with them, the Free State was still the pure land of incomparable freedom.

There was an unabashed sneer on Sigma's face.

He positioned himself very well.

He's a peddler, a businessman, and he sees corporations as "idols," but he's not one of those sanctimonious guys on the East Coast.

He's just being himself - a mercenary villain.

After all, the reason why they put on the "legal" vest is to do whatever they want under the clear rules. If they still have to abide by the rules and regulations imposed on them by others, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the painstaking efforts of countless generations of presidents of Huoshi Group?

This is wasteland!

Putting his legs down on the table, he looked at Xavier—the confidant who had been with him for a long time and was in charge of southern affairs.

"Let us keep an eye on the nails buried around Boulder City."

"Since the alliance wants to slaughter this pig in advance for the New Year, then we will help them speed up, but we also have to get a piece of it!"

Xavier nodded seriously.

"Yes!"

……

(This chapter perfects the setting of the Buguera Free State. Players of the stars should be more familiar with it. In fact, it is a criminal enterprise created by a dog, but it is not exactly the same. Combined with the historical documents investigated by the players in the Great Rift Valley before, it can be regarded as Fill in the blank of the world view 150 years ago. By the way, the name of Bugla has nothing to do with the real Prague, it is just a transliteration of burglars. Another digression, the views of the characters in the book only represent them My own standpoint, for example, Yin Fang looks down on people from the company, but in fact he doesn’t reject Bach from the company, and is even willing to help him. This can’t make my settings inconsistent, it’s just that each character’s personality and standpoint are different That's all.)
