Chapter 211 A Sudden Snowstorm
Chapter 211 A sudden blizzard
Without Kevin’s reminder, Gangya knew that the gang was not easy to deal with.
He lost two battles in a row in one day, killing nearly 40 of his men and a quarter of his ammunition, and even destroyed a light pickup truck.
If he doesn’t leave now, I’m afraid that even the rest of the people will have to die here!
Just as Gangya led the remaining troops to escape from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at dusk, the little players who had just logged off were still discussing the “medal system” introduced in this soft update.
In fact, the setting of medals has existed before. After each battle is completed, the outstanding team or individual can get one.
However, that kind of medal does not have a physical body. It is just a number displayed on the personal page, and there is not even a pattern.
Like now, not only is there a specific medal style, but you can also get a physical medal in the game. This is the first time in “Wasteland OL”!
The certificate of the winner of an epic battle!
This is much more impressive than the krypton gold skin!
At this time, many players were surprised to find that the medals they had received before were all upgraded to a gear-shaped icon on the spot after this server announcement.
A closer look shows that the number of teeth on the inner and outer rings of the medals adds up to exactly 404.
After selecting the medal, there is a line of description –
[We set out from here! ]
The medal system has been greatly changed!
However, this basic medal seems to have only added patterns and collection elements, and attached a version number to the medal. There is still no physical version, only an electronic version.
The change seems to be just to distinguish it from the special medal.
But even so, for the absolute majority of combat professional players, it can be regarded as a surprise.
What if?
What if the operator fills the hole in a future version? For example, a physical medal in the game can be added to the medals issued before, or a hidden achievement can be unlocked when the medal reaches a certain number.
It is not impossible!
Fountain Commander: “I figured it out! The ‘Gear’ medal in ordinary battles is a blank medal, so there is only an electronic version, no physical version!”
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: “One more thing, the unlocking condition of the ‘Shield’ medal is to win the final victory in the epic defense mission!”
Quit Smoking: “Wait, so, there are similar achievements in assault, support or assault missions? (Surprise)”
Ward’s Foot Who Levin: “Blind guess, if there is a silver medal, there should be a bronze medal, a gold medal and a diamond medal.”
Yaer I Want to Go to the Toilet So: “Let’s have another master, otherwise I’ll blame you for not being used to it.”
Debt Big Eyes: “Do you think there will be a rank system in the future? (Grinning)”
Canyon Fleeing Mole: “It’s uncertain. It’s possible if there are more people, but it doesn’t seem necessary if there are fewer people. Besides, there is already an identity system now, so it’s useless to give the soldier profession a separate identity system. If we open a military rank system, won’t all players go for the soldier profession? However, it is still recommended that the operator add a “command” skill to the skill proficiency, so that it can increase the skill level like shooting and fighting, so that the big guys who like to lead the team can be tricked out, so that when there are too many people in the future, those who can’t command will run to grab the captain position, and then the full team will go out for an outing. (sigh)”
Irena: “I suspect you are implying the chicken-killing brother. (funny)”
Midnight Chicken Killing: “(black question mark.jpg)”
Construction Site Boy and Brick: “Hahaha, that makes sense! People like me who are afraid of taking the blame don’t like to lead the team, it’s more comfortable to follow the crowd, and we really have to give the big guys who lead the team a little sweetness. But don’t give too much, it will affect the balance. (smirk)”
Ye Shi: “Planning: I’m copying again, I’m copying again. (funny)”
…
That night.
After the peak of offline.
Chu Guang returned to the shelter and glanced at the discussion post about medals in the forum.
When he came to the first floor of the little brother Ye Shi, Chu Guang laughed.
Copy?
Can you have a bit of vision!
The planner heard the voices of the players, isn’t this something that should be appreciated? If I don’t read any of the posts, you are still spending contribution points as money!
”A large part of the contribution points and regional reputation actually comes from military merits, and it is indeed inappropriate to set up an additional military rank.”
Chu Guang touched his chin and said after thinking for a long time.
”… However, it is indeed necessary to add the proficiency of command skills.”
Chu Guang copied and pasted the post of Brother Mole into the document, and noted a line of words at the end.
[Change: Add “command” to skill proficiency. According to the difficulty level, scale, casualties, and war score of the campaign, calculate the proficiency of the “command” skill obtained by the player in the game. 】
After that, he will ask Xiaoqi to help design a calculation formula, which can also be regarded as increasing the gaming experience of the team leader.
After all, as many players in the forum have reflected, leading a team is a very troublesome thing. If you play well, it is everyone’s credit, and if you don’t play well, the captain will be blamed.
The proficiency of command skills can directly reflect a player’s organizational ability.
When a big boss builds a team, other players always rush to join. The weak team often has insufficient people in the end, and is automatically merged by the system and the captain is elected by voting.
In the future, players with high command and many medals should become resources for big guilds to fight for, or even become guild leaders.
This can also be regarded as a kind of invisible benefit.
After reading the memorial, Chu Guang turned to the forum’s fan zone, intending to see how his design plan for public bidding was completed.
To his surprise, many masters had already submitted their papers!
”Is it so fast?”
Chu Guang was about to take a look at the imagination of his little players, but he clicked on a post and almost spit out tears after taking a look.
This talent directly drew his face on the silver coin!
And it was not a side face, but a frontal portrait!
To be honest, the painting was quite similar, which directly raised the appearance of the silver coin. However
, because it was too similar, Chu Guang even felt that it would be no problem to find him with this coin.
”Good fellow, do you think my life is too long?”
Being too prominent in the wasteland is not a good thing.
After all, there are many more crazy people than normal people in this world.
The painting is very good!
Don’t do this next time.
Chu Guang thought that when the Human Union was revived and the wasteland era ended, it would be no problem for him to claim the credit.
As for now, it’s better to take it easy.
In addition to drawing his head, there are also some strange designs. There are small fish, crows and vines… These are relatively normal. Chu Guang couldn’t help but want to lock the abnormal posts.
After browsing around, Chu Guang found that the most reliable one was indeed Brother Mole.
Since this guy was banned last time, he changed his ways and never drew books again. Instead, he drew some serious things with depth and connotation.
For example, this silver coin.
In his design, the front of the silver coin is an artistic “N”, which looks the same as the number “1” in the game.
On the back is the claws of a split-claw crab, and an “F” is outlined around the edge of the coin. The rows of lines look like a forked olive branch. The
edge of the coin is designed with anti-counterfeiting teeth, 202 coarse teeth, 202 fine teeth, adding up to exactly 404 teeth, with very small spacing, which increases the difficulty of replicating.
Since the silver coin itself weighs 10g, 100 silver coins are equivalent to one kilogram. Even if someone solves the material and process and successfully counterfeits the silver coin, it will be discovered quickly when it is circulated.
The guards on duty will check the silver coins carried by every person entering the survivor settlement, and the market will also increase patrols and other supervisors in the future. It is almost impossible to carry a large number of counterfeit silver coins into the survivor settlement under Shelter 404.
”404, Not Found, river crab… OK.” Chu Guang’s eyes lit up after reading the post, and he immediately marked the post of Brother Mole.
The overall design is grand and beautiful, with all the elements but not mixed, and there is a certain threshold for manufacturing.
If there is no better design method until I get up tomorrow morning.
Then use this set!
…
The next morning.
The little players in Shelter 404 poured out of the sanatorium one after another in the morning sun.
Almost when the first batch of players reached the surface, everyone in the server received a pop-up window.
[Announcement for the whole server: Congratulations to the player “Canyon Escaping Mole” for his second-generation currency design, which was adopted by the official bank of Shelter 404! ]
[Since the player chose to make the achievement public, the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame! ]
The players who just stood on the square saw these two messages and were instantly irritated.
”Fuck! Shady deal!”
”That’s right! It’s too shady! I even drew the administrator’s portrait on it, but it didn’t pass!”
”Damn it, a stinky rat got Xiaoyu’s mysterious gift!”
The real rat [Forced] who just came out of the sanatorium heard the curses of the surrounding players and looked up in confusion.
”What? Who’s calling me?”
All the good names were given by dogs: “No, I’m not calling you! We’re talking about that mole!”
Forced: “???”
Unable to listen any more, the old mole couldn’t help but yell.
”Gan! Can you guys have some conscience? My design has all the elements, why don’t you use mine?”
Master Cai of Human Body Outlining: “I don’t care! Anyway, not using my design is a shady deal!”
Canyon Escaping Mole: “@#%!”
…
Black is black.
Although the European Emperor is envied and hated, everyone is still very curious about what the mysterious gift is.
Surrounded by a group of people, Brother Mole came to the door of the bank and unlocked the legendary mysterious gift from Xiaoyu——
”Hey, thank you for your contribution to everyone in the shelter!”
Xiaoyu stood up from behind the counter and expressed his gratitude seriously.
This unexpected bow made Brother Mole a little flustered.
Only the person being thanked knows what it feels like.
”No, no, it’s just a little help…”
The so-called mysterious gift is certainly not just a thank you.
Afterwards, Xiaoyu found a golden coin from the drawer and handed it to him.
The style of the coin is very special, with an “α” pattern on the front and the number 1 written next to it-it seems to commemorate the Alpha version that is about to end.
On the back is the gate of the shelter – the pattern is exactly the same as the “gear” medal that was updated before.
”We will start from here!”
Mole suddenly had a sense of realization.
Perhaps this is the second-generation currency that the operator originally intended to use.
Mole, who realized this, suddenly felt an indescribable touch in his heart.
His behavior changed the game.
Although it was only a small bit…
The players who were watching the excitement around did not have so many psychological activities. Seeing that there were no other rewards, they dispersed with boredom.
”Well, what mysterious gift did I say? It’s just a commemorative coin.”
”No attribute bonus, disperse.”
Hearing these short-sighted remarks, Mole rolled his eyes at the group of people.
”You know shit!”
Can this out-of-print commemorative coin, which is only issued once in the whole server, be the same as ordinary commemorative coins?
When there are more people in the public beta in the future, as long as the official does not hold any “return to the factory” activities, the value of this coin will be worth at least a room of silver coins!
Can the collection value be summarized by a word “commemorative coin”?
Carefully putting the coin in his pocket, the Mole planned to put it in the warehouse for safekeeping and insure it.
This would be his lucky coin from now on.
No matter how much it was worth, he would not exchange it!
…
A new day begins with the warehouse manager’s demand list and daily tasks.
The little players who received the tasks took up their weapons or tools and headed towards the wasteland under the rising sun.
However…
this is only a part of the players.
While some players have already started working, some other players are currently stuck in the basement of the sanatorium.
In front of the elevator leading to the surface, a long line has already formed from the elevator door to the door of the shelter!
Looking at the huge crowds in front of the elevator, Yaya couldn’t help but sigh.
”There are too many people.”
The cat ears on his head moved, and Aoao Zhimahu, who was also queuing next to him, sighed softly.
”I’m already socially anxious.”
Tail, who was not far away, stared at the cat ears for a long time and wanted to reach out to grab them, but was stopped by Sisi.
The commander of the fountain, wearing an exoskeleton, stretched his neck and looked forward. He was impatient and couldn’t help yelling.
”Can the people in front hurry up! I’m in a hurry to go up and charge!”
The people in the queue in front didn’t want to pay attention, but when they saw that it was the European Emperor, they immediately retorted without any courtesy.
Zhang Hai: “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up? Is it because I don’t want to hurry up?”
Elf King Fugui: “That’s right, you complain about the slow elevator, but I complain about the slow elevator too! I can only work 16 hours a day, and I’ve been waiting in line for almost half an hour!”
Shao Chadzi, who was carrying fishing tools, was shocked when he heard this.
”Damn, 16 hours to fill it up, are you a devil?!”
Can the fishing simulator be played for 16 hours? !
Elf King Fugui looked at him strangely.
”What else? Isn’t it basic to complete the daily active tasks and then refresh the warehouse? How can you get the money to buy guns without grinding? How can you get the sequence level without grinding? How can you become stronger without grinding! I think 16 hours is too little, the fatigue value setting should be cancelled!”
Izuihei, who was standing next to him, heard it and couldn’t help shaking his head.
”Too much, too much!”
Is it that serious?
It’s just playing a game!
Although he has been online for 16 hours these days…
…
Standing on the third floor of the sanatorium, Chu Guang and Xiao Qi overlooked the hustle and bustle in the square.
Although he didn’t hear the complaints of the players below the elevator, Chu Guang could already feel the pressure brought by the increase in the number of people on the server from the long line.
Fortunately, he still left some space and didn’t open the remaining 300 cans.
Otherwise, with 1,100 people, the scene would be terrible!
Xiao Qi raised the camera and looked at Chu Guang standing beside him.
”Master, Xiao Qi feels that the elevator’s capacity is not enough.”
Chu Guang nodded in agreement.
”Indeed, we have to think of a way.”
Although the maze on the B3 floor diverted a group of players, there were still four or five hundred people queuing in front of the only elevator leading to the underground during the peak hours of logging in and out every day.
At the most exaggerated time, the queue could even stretch from the elevator to the door of the buffer room.
In fact, think about it, even if the elevator can accommodate 20 people per trip, it will take more than 20 round trips to send all the players in the queue to the surface.
In fact, if the players bring equipment, the maximum number of people per trip may be about 12 to 15.
If it weren’t for the archive, many players would just live outside.
Now Chu Guang has two plans. One is to demolish the sanatorium, dig a hole in the original place, and build a larger elevator that can transport more than 100 people at a time.
The other plan is to abandon the elevator and dig a slope hundreds of meters long from the surface to the door of the shelter.
However, the threshold of these two plans is a bit high. Whether it is to demolish the sanatorium to dig a well 20 to 30 meters deep, or to dig a “basement entrance” hundreds of meters long, it is not an easy task.
At present, the only feasible way seems to be to build a few more hibernation capsules and send them to the surface, so that the shelter can become a real resurrection point, and the save point can be placed on the surface.
At present, 67 hibernation capsules have been produced. Except for the 30 allocated to the industrial zone, the rest have been sent to Changjiu Farm.
Chu Guang plans to increase the quota of hibernation capsules in Changjiu Farm to 100 before the next version, as a public save point for players.
As for whether there is a more convenient save method…
To be honest, Chu Guang also hopes that there is such a method, but unfortunately, there is no better solution at present.
Scanning and recording the development progress of gene sequences, although it is a matter of one sentence, is actually a very complicated process, because it involves a hot and cutting-edge research field in DNA research-epigenetics.
The mainstream view is that humans have 20,000 to 30,000 genes, but these genes are not all expressed. Most of them are like commented-out codes in computer programs.
How to make specific genes selectively expressed and produce the traits people need is actually more complicated than simply modifying a specific gene.
Although the genes stored in the shelter are all excellent varieties selected from the gene pool of pre-war civilization, it is obvious that even the first-generation managers did not master the method to fully express these genes.
If they can do it, it should be at least a “singularity” level technology.
However, although the first-generation manager did not complete this work, he provided a fairly reliable “solution” for his successor before his death.
That is, let the clones actively evolve under natural selection, and then use scientific means to record the selection and expression process of their DNA, and simulate the process in the next synthesis of clones, and gradually approach the final 100% by growing again and again. The
scanning principle of the hibernation capsule is the same as that of the culture capsule. It is necessary to search all the body cells, and this takes about 3 to 5 hours, which can be completed when the clones are asleep. It
is currently impossible to save anytime and anywhere.
Fortunately, compared with the synthesis of clones, the scanning function is not very energy-consuming, so the rated power of the hibernation capsule is much lower than that of the culture capsule.
Only one 100KW generator is needed to run 100 hibernation capsules, which is quite economical.
”The generators are running out, and the industrial zone is a big power consumer. We have to find a way to solve the energy problem.” The
entire nuclear fusion generator is not very realistic. The fusion battery is too expensive and cannot be charged. The more it is used, the less it will be. Although the fuel rods are durable, they are hard to find, and the electricity in the shelter cannot be stolen.
The best generator at present is the wood generator.
There is a shortage of everything in the wasteland, except wood.
Mosquito and his team have already made steam engines. If they work hard to make a pot-carrying machine, Chu Guang thinks it will not be a big problem.
In fact, the legion’s light truck uses a pot-carrying machine, which can be moved with wood, which is very convenient. The life profession players in the new industrial zone are already studying imitation, and it is said that there are some clues.
”I hope it can be completed before the next invasion of the Bone Chewing Tribe.”
Chu Guang plans to set two small goals for the players.
One is to build a 1MW thermal power station in the new industrial zone, outpost base and Changjiu Farm respectively, marking the initial entry into the electrical age.
The other is to solve the problem of the engine and be able to produce vehicles independently.
Not to mention immediately forming a motorized unit, at least getting a few more trucks would be good.
There are only nine trucks available for four transport routes. To send troops to a slightly farther place, the vehicles in the industrial zone must be freed up in advance.
This transportation capacity is a bit too tight.
Sitting on the third floor of the sanatorium, Chu Guang peeked at his little players through the hummingbird drone.
Among them, the cattle and horse team has started a new round of attack on the greenhouse ruins. The current progress has reached the B5 floor, which is very close to the B9 floor.
Brother Mole’s team also entered the greenhouse ruins, but their attack is upwards rather than downwards. The current progress is on the third floor, and there are two floors left to attack.
Mosquito on the edge of the industrial zone is testing the improved rocket, trying to make the rocket more powerful and fiercer. A fat mouse follows him.
Brother Ce Suo and Brother Levin from the No. 81 Steel Plant completely abandoned the dream of a large-caliber 88mm anti-aircraft gun and turned to researching a small-caliber 20mm anti-aircraft gun, just like a mosquito gave up a small-caliber jab rocket.
Although the caliber of 20mm is a bit small, as long as the number of barrels is large enough, the power is not small!
If the quadruple mount is not enough.
Then use a twelve-barrel mount!
Use a rain of bullets to light up the entire sky!
Seeing his little players working so hard, Chu Guang was very pleased. With more and more talents in the server, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be done by himself.
Back then, I had to go to my neighbor’s house to buy vegetables myself.
Now, if I need to get something, there are players running errands for him.
…
It was past noon.
The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility outside was getting lower and lower.
At first, I could see 10 meters away, but now I am standing on the third floor and I can’t even see downstairs.
For safety reasons, Chu Guang issued a server announcement to remind players to pay attention to the blizzard weather and asked Xiao Qi to take back the drone.
This little guy is too small and not very powerful. Chu Guang is worried that if the wind gets stronger, it will blow it directly into the lake.
The camera looked at the snow outside the window, which was getting heavier and heavier, and Xiao Qi said worriedly.
”Master, the snow outside seems to be getting heavier and heavier.”
”I can see it.”
Staring at the snow outside the window, Chu Guang always had a bad feeling. There are
currently more than 600 survivors gathered at the New United Gas Station. According to the plan, the survivors of the Dongliu Camp will arrive at Changjiu Farm at noon today.
If the impact of this blizzard exceeds expectations, the subsequent evacuation plan will undoubtedly be seriously hindered.
At this time, Chu Guang’s VM suddenly received a pop-up window.
The message was sent by Luca.
Glancing at the screen, Chu Guang’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the power armor parked aside.
Xiao Qi turned the camera and looked at him.
”Master?”
”I have to go to Changjiu Farm.”
Chu Guang, who entered from the back of the power armor and put on his equipment, continued to speak concisely.
”I’ll leave this to you.”
——
(The update time has been a bit unstable in recent days. Chenxing apologizes to everyone. In fact, it’s not that I’m lazy, but sometimes I really don’t finish writing. Although I have a complete outline that covers the content of each version and the personal lines of each character and player. But when I write specifically, I have to write a detailed outline to make the plot compact.
In order to last longer in the future, I beg my brothers to give me three days to improve the detailed outline, so that the subsequent updates can be more stable. However, although there is only one update in these three days, the number of words is basically around 6k. Once the detailed outline of the next stage is completed, we will resume daily updates from the 10th!)
