Chapter 299 Corps system upgrade!

  Chapter 299: Upgrade the Corps System!

  The north runway of Dawn City.

  A wooden plane hit the runway crookedly, bumped up and down several times, and finally stopped.

  Looking at the speed dial that had returned to zero, Mosquito, who had held his breath, slowly let out a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

  ”Oh my god…”

  It finally landed!

  There were two bullets on the belly and five bullets on the wings. This was when he risked falling apart during the pull-up process and performed a roller maneuver.

  Are these hostile NPCs the boy band of Tarkov?

  It’s too outrageous that the hit rate can be achieved with rifle strafing!

  It must be something!

  Throwing his hat in the cabin, Mosquito jumped out with both hands and checked his car. Looking at the cracks and cracks, he felt a pain in his heart.

  Since the wings and fuselage of the plane are made of wood, the defense is about zero, and basically a hole will be left when it touches a bullet.

  One of the bullets even rubbed the circuit line and almost made the battery on his left smoke.

  However, it was fortunate that the wing was made of wood.

  Due to the excessive kinetic energy of the opponent’s bullet, the power over-penetrated, so it did not cause serious structural damage to the wing.

  Mosquito circled in the sky for a while, and only found out that the cabin was leaking and the wing was cracked when returning, but at that time it was only a few kilometers away from the runway.

  Although panicked, it was not a big problem!

  The four apprentices surrounded him.

  Duoming glanced at the bullet holes on the plane and said in surprise.

  ”Fuck? You used this broken plane to fight with people and dogs?”

  ”I was shot a few times when I was picking up French fries, but it’s not a big problem… Can this plane be repaired?” Mosquito said distressedly while stroking the wing.

  The mediator walked forward, stared at the wing, and shook his head.

  ”It can’t be repaired, the fuselage and wings… Let’s redo it.”

  Zhuihun patted Mosquito on the shoulder and comforted him.

  ”It’s okay, it doesn’t cost much to make it made of wood anyway, the battery, motor and machine gun are still there… and the people are still there.”

  ”That’s what I said…”

  But it would be better if I didn’t get shot.

  Minus the money for the replacement of the wings, this mission is almost equal to no profit. The only consolation is the contribution points and flying skill proficiency.

  Mosquito sighed, still feeling pain for the lost silver coins.

  ”Uncomfortable!”

  …

  Eastern suburbs of Qingquan City.

  Led by Lu Bei, twenty indigenous soldiers wearing light cavalry exoskeletons and belonging to the Guards Corps are rushing to the area where the red smoke is floating for support.

  As the elite of the New Alliance’s standing corps, those standing here are veterans who have participated in two battles and survived.

  After the transformation of the induced expression serum, their physical qualities in all aspects are far superior to ordinary people.

  However, unlike the “specific” enhancement of the clones, the panel data of natural people after awakening tends to be the average of more than three attributes.

  Only a few experimenters with excellent innate qualifications or particularly lucky can excel in a certain attribute.

  Such people usually occupy a special position in the team.

  For example, Agility Awakeners usually serve as team shooters due to their excellent vision and reaction speed, Strength Awakeners are more likely to carry ammunition and provide fire support, and Physical Awakeners stand relatively forward, etc.

  These are the experiences summed up by players through countless deaths and “official website discussions”.

  Lv Bei approached the abandoned heavy exoskeleton in the center of the flower bed with his brothers, and stepped forward to check the charred body next to it, and tapped his helmet with his index finger.

  ”…Report, we found a damaged exoskeleton near the flare! Friendly forces have evacuated from the target area, requesting further instructions!”

  Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa in the browsing room, listened to the report of the front-line soldiers, thought for a moment and then gave the order.

  ”Recover the wreckage, don’t leave any fragments behind!”

  Lv Bei: “Yes!”

  Hearing the sonorous answer, Chu Guang ended the communication, looked at the snow-white tablet next to him, and raised his eyebrows with a hint of interest.

  ”Anti-UAV?”

  These people have something.

  About a few minutes ago, he transferred the Hummingbird UAV deployed near Shelter 401 to the front line, trying to track the unknown armed forces fleeing to the ruins.

  However, when these people evacuated the battlefield, they immediately found the drones following behind.

  One of them took out a square-headed rifle, probably an anti-drone electromagnetic gun, and shot it at his Hummingbird.

  Then, the connection between the drone and the control terminal was disconnected. However,

  it was disconnected, and the Hummingbird UAV was a pre-war product after all, and its anti-intrusion capability was not weak. After the signal was hijacked, the protection mechanism was immediately triggered, and the control component actively cut off the communication function and entered the radio silent state. The camera identified the path and returned along the original route.

  The only pity was that the group of people was lost.

  Chu Guang could only judge from the direction they fled that they were heading north.

  ”They are Torch’s people.”

  Chu Guang tapped his index finger lightly on the table, and said after thinking for a moment.

  ”Xiao Qi, is there a way to hack their exoskeleton?”

  Xiao Qi was silent for a while and whispered.

  ”Master, the chip used in their exoskeleton is most likely a copy of the pre-war chip. If the operating system is written by them, it’s fine…”

  ”But it would be difficult to directly apply the pre-war operating system.”

  Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

  ”Is that so.”

  Although it was unexpected, it was not incomprehensible.

  Spears and shields do not exist in isolation. Since there are means of invasion, there must be armor that can defend against invasion.

  In the early days of the Human Alliance era, even before entering the prosperous era, machine learning technology was already quite popular. Instead of writing every code by hand, people prefer to build an AI algorithm, let this algorithm learn like humans, and automatically adapt to various application scenarios. It

  is equivalent to automation in the field of programming.

  With the birth of quantum computers, traditional encryption methods are almost obsolete. Human computing power has evolved from two isolated “points” of 0 and 1 to an infinitely extended “line”, and corresponding encryption measures will naturally be born.

  In the prosperous era, even the most basic anti-intrusion plug-ins have flexible recognition and judgment capabilities.

  They are like the human immune system, able to identify unknown viruses and form targeted antibodies to ensure that express delivery can be accurately delivered to customers under any circumstances, and that missiles can accurately hit the enemy’s head.

  Although Xiaoqi is an AI close to “complete artificial intelligence”, it is ultimately a general-purpose one.

  Its characteristic is that it can do everything, but it does not mean that it can do everything to the best.

  It can edit easy-to-use applications, flexibly meet the various needs of users, and even provide spiritual support and encouragement. But in a specific field, its ability is not more outstanding than that of AI specializing in that field.

  If the full level is 5 and the average value is 3, then its intrusion ability is about 1~2, and perhaps it can reach 3 with the addition of computing power.

  However, although Xiaoqi is not a professional hacker, the shelter still does not have to worry about encountering electronic warfare intrusions.

  The defense plug-in installed on the shelter server cooperates with the computing power of the server itself, and the anti-intrusion ability can reach MAX, which is equivalent to the ceiling in the current era.

  Therefore, even if the offensive capability is not strong, no one can hack the shelter’s security system through hacking.

  As for the anti-invasion and invasion capabilities of the countries on Earth in the parallel world?

  To be optimistic, it should be around 0.1, which is equivalent to nothing after rounding off. After all, it is not a thing of the same era, and it is meaningless to discuss the combat effectiveness of cavalry and tanks.

  However, at least 3.5 billion of the 7.5 billion people have a 90% or even higher dependence on information technology, and the market value of information-related industries exceeds tens of trillions, indirectly affecting transportation, logistics, finance, industry, agriculture and other fields. A large number of people have problems even without the Internet.

  It is for this reason that dimensionality reduction strikes in the information field can form an “effective deterrent”.

  If we go back to the Great Navigation Age of World War I or even earlier, the deterrent power of electronic warfare is quite limited. Even if you broadcast to recruit an insider, no one may be able to hear it.

  As for why his own manager system can take over other shelters with “equally full anti-invasion capabilities”?

  Chu Guang is more inclined to believe that it was the backdoor left at the beginning of the design, rather than Xiaoqi doing it through illegal intrusion methods.

  For example…

  In the program of the Human Union Shelter, there is a line of hidden code that states: “Once the manager dies or voluntarily gives up his duties, the managers of other shelters will automatically obtain the manager rights of this shelter after meeting certain conditions.”

  The drone image reappeared on the screen, and the Hummingbird drone that returned to the assembly point was back under the control of the terminal.

  Xiao Qi: “Master, do you want to continue to follow?”

  Chu Guang shook his head.

  ”The people have gone far away, there is not much point in following.”

  Xiao Qi: “Woo…”

  Listening to the pitiful and self-blaming voice, Chu Guang smiled and said.

  ”It’s okay, it’s not your fault. It’s enough to test the other party’s strength.”

  Besides, he could probably guess where the other party was going.

  Go north.

  It’s nothing more than looking for the people of the Bone Chewing Tribe. It’s impossible to contact the Great Rift Valley that is so far away.

  Previously, Chu Guang seized a lot of neural connection equipment of the Torch Church from the trucks of those looters, which was enough to prove that the Bone Chewing Tribe was supported by the Torch Church.

  These rats can’t run away!

  Chu Guang picked up the tablet on the table and put it in his pocket, then got up from the sofa.

  ”Call Yin Fang for me and ask him to wait for me at the elevator door.”

  Xiao Qi: “Okay, master, are you going out?”

  ”Yes,” Chu Guang walked to the mirror and adjusted his collar, then nodded, “I’m going to Shelter No. 401.”

  …

  Eastern District of Qingquan City.

  A five-meter-long death claw with a collar around its neck was carrying a man and a piece of iron and running rapidly on the ruins.

  ”Why don’t we take a car?”

  ”Tires can’t pass through the ruins, this is the fastest means of transportation.”

  ”I’d rather go slower, didn’t we walk slowly last time?”

  ”Okay, stop talking nonsense, my time is precious.”

  Niko, who was under the two of them, grumbled in dissatisfaction, but the deep-rooted deterrence made it dare not act rashly, so it could only vent its emotions on the concrete stones under its feet.

  Sitting astride the back of the death claw, Chu Guang felt like a dragon knight in heavy armor.

  What a pity.

  This stupid lizard has no wings.

  How about giving it a mechanical prosthesis when there is a chance?

  Just as Chu Guang let his thoughts wander, the two of them had already arrived near the third ecological park. The natural deterrent power of the Death Claw scared the surrounding monkeys away.

  No alien species dared to approach along the way.

  As for the gnawers, daytime is not the time for them to move.

  At the sentry post near the ticket gate of the third ecological park, two soldiers on duty with rifles on their backs cast a look of awe at Chu Guang and saluted with their right fists to their chests.

  You are worthy of being the administrator!

  There is probably no other person in this wasteland who can use the Death Claw as a mount!

  ”Respected Administrator!”

  Old Bai, who was carrying a coffin-like box and wearing a battle-damaged exoskeleton, stepped forward and said respectfully, “We have brought the fuel rods you asked for!”

  ”Well done, put it here.”

  Chu Guang nodded approvingly, jumped off the back of the Death Claw, and helped Yin Fang, who was sitting in front of him. His

  feet finally touched the ground, and Yin Fang, who was about to be shaken apart, didn’t stand firmly and almost fell.

  Neeko snorted loudly, as if mocking them, but after being taught a lesson by Chu Guang, the lizard quickly calmed down and put its head on the ground in grievance.

  Lao Bai looked at this guy in surprise.

  Is this the deathclaw that almost wiped out their group? How

  did it become the manager’s mount ?

  ”Your mission has been completed. On behalf of the Alliance, I thank you for your contribution!”

  ”Go back and have a good rest!”

  Chu Guang drew a line in the air with his index finger, and settled the missions for the members of the Ox-Horse Squad on behalf of Yin Fang.

  Looking at the numbers jumping on the VM settlement interface, the faces of the five players showed surprise.

  The last link of the mission chain, in addition to the basic income of 1,300 silver coins and 500+ contributions per person, there are also 1,200 silver coins and 200 contributions as branch rewards.

  It’s so cool!

  Seeing the players’ excitement, Chu Guang couldn’t help but smile.

  A fuel rod can be bought for tens of thousands of silver coins.

  His little players are so useful! It would

  be even better if they were willing to sell the silver coins they got to the professional players at a low price to invest in production and expand exports.

  Or it would be nice to buy some good things outside.

  Of course.

  How to play this game is their own business. What

  Chu Guang has to do now is to cultivate the soil for the fresh little leeks to grow, so that more players have the opportunity to come here to work for him. Chu Guang

  opened the box and took a look, then covered the box and held it in his hand, and then looked at Yin Fang who had just got off Neeko’s back.

  ”I’ll leave it to you from now on.” After

  the bumpy ride, Yin Fang’s calves were still shaking, and he said with a sad face.

  ”No problem… Wait for me to slow down first, I’m almost falling apart from the bumpy ride.”

  Neeko snorted mockingly, and the word “weak” was almost written on her face.

  But soon, it was hit on the back of its head by Chu Guang again, and it groaned and crawled on the ground, completely obedient.

  ”It will be convenient when the underground passage is opened in the future.”

  Chu Guang casually replied to Yin Fang, then took out half of the hairless hyena from the package behind the armor, threw it to Niko as a snack, and continued to issue orders with the neural connection device, telling it to wait for him to come back.

  After doing this, Chu Guang took Yin Fang and the fuel rods to the subway station.

  Niko happily gnawed the half of the hyena on the ground, making a cheerful crunching sound. The two NPC soldiers next to it looked at it nervously, unconsciously holding the rifles in their hands.

  The clanking and shaking iron chain always made them feel unsafe, as if the beast could break free and pounce on them in the next second.

  However, this death claw seemed to have no intention of doing so. After gnawing the bone, it curled its tail into a circle and took a nap at the door.

  This guy has been completely tamed.

  Watching the manager walk away, Ye Shi looked at the balance on the VM again and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

  ”If this is converted into RMB…”

  Even if the price drops a little.

  It will be tens of thousands!

  ”Can you be more promising,” Fang Chang smiled and patted his shoulder, “Let’s exchange some specialties and get them to Boulder City to exchange for chips, isn’t it nice to upgrade a wave of equipment?” There

  have always been life-professional players collecting silver coins on the forum.

  It costs money to set up a caravan to expand production, either from NPCs, or to buy from combat-professional players with krypton gold.

  Fang Chang took a lot of it back when the price fell. After

  this task is completed, he plans to purchase some goods with his good brothers and transport them to Boulder City, and use the chips earned to buy some equipment.

  At present, the trade route has just been restored, and it is profitable to sell anything at this time.

  After a while, the trade route is developed and mature, and the information gap is getting smaller and smaller, and the profit will hardly be as big as it is now.

  The economic system of this game is affected by the supply and demand relationship, and it is a real batch.

  Ye Shi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and smiled.

  ”I subconsciously calculated… By the way, when are we going to Boulder City?”

  ”Tomorrow, I’ve basically finished all the tasks I can do.” While checking his VM, Lao Bai suddenly found that there was a small red dot on the icon of the Corps system. He clicked it

  out of curiosity, and after opening it, Lao Bai was surprised to find that the original LV0 level icon had become LV1.

  Not only that, there was also an attribute panel.

  [ID: Burning Corps]

  [Corps Level: LV2 (+1 Distributable Points)]

  [

  Scale: 2 (+10 Recruitment Limit per Level)

  Logistics: 2 (+10 Logistics Points per Level)

  ]

  [Doctrine: (Not Selected)]

  The Corps system page seemed to have only a list and levels before, but now there is even an attribute panel.

  Is this a soft update?

  Lao Bai looked at it for a long time but couldn’t understand what these attributes meant. He scratched the back of his head and said.

  ”It seems that our Corps has been upgraded.”

  Hearing this, Quitting Smoking immediately came over excitedly.

  ”The Corps has been upgraded?! Let me see!”

  ”Well, the number of recruits for the LV2 Corps has been increased to 20, and it has obtained an allocable point… but I haven’t figured out what this attribute panel means.”

  Scale is easy to understand, it probably refers to the recruitment limit, and logistics probably means the budget? But he didn’t quite understand this logistics point.

  In the past, ammunition expenses were all budgeted with silver coins.

  Will the logistics of the Corps system be separated from the economic system in the future?

  And the optional doctrine seems to consume points to upgrade.

  Lao Bai opened it and took a quick look. It is basically divided into several major categories, including light infantry doctrine, mobile warfare doctrine, firepower advantage doctrine, etc.

  In addition, there are some small sub-fields, which mainly provide some strategic BUFF bonuses.

  For example, if you click on the human wave assault under the light infantry doctrine, the recruitment limit will be +100%.

  After clicking on this branch, the recruitment limit increased by each [Scale Point] will directly increase from 10 to 20, and it will directly become a hundred-man team at LV5!

  Of course, the premise is that so many players can be recruited.

  Quitting, who was staring at the Corps level, suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

  ”Wait, isn’t this a scientific expedition mission we’re doing?”

  Fang Chang knew what he wanted to ask, and nodded.

  ”In a team mission, if more than 4 people in a team are members of the same Corps, they can obtain a certain proportion of Corps merit based on their contribution points after completing the mission.”

  Merit points are the experience points needed for Corps upgrades.

  Quitting was stunned.

  ”Fuck! Then when there are more people in the future, won’t we be able to gain experience points?!”

  After upgrading, all the skill points will be added to the [Scale]. A Corps will have hundreds of people, and four people will do missions in a group. Then the Corps merit points will increase rapidly!

  Fang Chang said with a subtle expression.

  ”That’s the theory. After all, numbers are also a kind of strength. However, there are differences in the benefits between tasks. The rewards for tasks in the T0 echelon and those in the T3 echelon may even differ by an order of magnitude. The overall efficiency may not be high.”

  After a pause, Fang Chang continued to look at Lao Bai who was thinking about how to add points.

  ”Let’s not rush to add points. Wait until the update announcement comes out and I’ll study it first.”

  After closing the interface, Lao Bai smiled and said.

  ”That’s what I thought too!”

  …

  At the same time, in the north of Qingquan City.

  Dimiter, who was gradually leaving the territory of the New Alliance, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move north with the remaining seven subordinates.

  The Snake Clan was fighting with Honghe Town. The only one who could spare a hand to help them take back the black box was the Ya Clan stationed in Xizhou City.

  I don’t know what happened. After the group of predators stationed in Xizhou City, their steps to the south stopped.

  At this time, a group of figures suddenly appeared in the north and met them face to face.

  Dimitri couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the gun, but when he saw the ragged clothes of those people, he soon breathed a sigh of relief.

  Just a group of refugees.

  ”Should we kill them? They saw us.”

  Ulen had already opened the safety and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

  ”No need to make things complicated, just see them, we are already here,” Dimitri glanced at him and said comfortingly, “I know Ted’s death makes you sad, but killing these people can’t bring the dead back to life.”

  ”We have to save ammunition, they are not worth it.”

  Letting go of the group of refugees, Dimitri squinted at the direction they were heading.

  Wait.

  He will be back!

  　I was stuck yesterday, a little late…
