Chapter 348 Technology that changes the world!
”The smell of phenolic compounds… a bit like kerosene, but not.” After smelling it for a while, Mosquito gave an uncertain evaluation.
The Soul Chaser standing next to him suddenly spoke up.
”Could it be Hydrazine 50?”
”It doesn’t smell like ammonia, so it shouldn’t be.”
Mosquito shook his head and screwed the cap on the bottle immediately.
Phenolic compounds are easily oxidized in the air.
He couldn’t determine the composition of this thing for the time being, and could only roughly infer that it should be a kerosene analogue based on the viscosity and smell of the liquid.
But then again, this small bottle is a bit heavy –
wait.
Oil? !
Mosquito, who was holding the glass bottle, suddenly stopped and stood there with a wooden expression, as if his brain had crashed.
”Are you stuck?”
Seeing Mosquito’s stupid face, he went up to persuade him to fight and waved his hand, but found that this guy seemed to be offline and didn’t respond at all.
”Is there a bug in this prop?”
The God of Death muttered, and curiously reached out to take the glass bottle and take a look.
However, before his hand touched the bottle, Mosquito shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly came back to his senses, and then rushed into the factory building next to him without saying a word.
Although this guy is agile, he has never been seen running so fast.
Seeing Mosquito’s sudden action, everyone was dumbfounded.
”What’s wrong with this guy?”
”Is he possessed?”
”Not really.”
Zhuihun, whose major is somewhat related to chemistry, vaguely sensed something, and his expression became intriguing.
”Fuel…”
”Fuel?” The one who tried to persuade him frowned.
”Well…” Zhuihun nodded, his Adam’s apple moved slightly, and continued, “And it’s probably the kind we’re looking for.”
…
The fields in the northern suburbs of Shuguang City.
Pai, sitting under the mill, looked at a green field in the distance, holding a bowl of shaved ice in his hand, blowing the breeze in his face, and squinting comfortably.
People were walking on the country roads, leading two-headed cows, or carrying farm tools to work in the fields. Children were running and laughing under the shade of the trees, and in the distance there was the rumble of tractors.
This was a scene she had never seen in Xizhou City.
It was hard to imagine that the war had just ended a few days ago…
Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the steps next to her, was the same, swinging her legs leisurely and happily digging the shaved ice on her knees.
Perhaps because she was greedy and ate too fast, she couldn’t help but close her eyes tightly, and a “woohoo” sound leaked out of her mouth.
”Damn… my blood tank is empty.” The big white bear sitting not far away had an expression on his face that could easily be misunderstood by the bear.
”Ahaha…” The cat girl had a relaxed smile on her face and gently rubbed the big white bear’s fur.
Today was also a peaceful day.
But speaking of it, the war had just ended for less than a week.
If it weren’t in the game, everyone would definitely not be able to have such a relaxing vacation like now.
Tail, who was sitting next to her, touched his chin, and the way he wrinkled his nose seemed to be very smart.
Suddenly, she spoke.
”This is not scientific.”
”Hmm?” Sis glanced at her.
Wei Tail quickly turned his head and looked at Si Si, his eyes sparkling.
”Don’t you think so? Awei’s little fish is getting cuter and cuter!”
”You… your words are getting more and more dangerous.”
Si Si silently moved her eyes away from her bestie, glanced at the little fish not far away, and suddenly understood why Wei Tail said that.
I remember when I first saw the little fish, that kind and well-behaved little girl had a hint of yellow hair.
As a medical student, she knew that it was a sign of zinc deficiency.
Now, that hair is already enviable black and shiny.
”…It’s probably because of the improved nutritional status, after all, she is still growing.” Si Si said thoughtfully.
From the game setting, the citizens of the Human Alliance in the Prosperous Era have accepted genetic modification technology and widely used it in medical beauty and other fields.
As long as the nutrition is up to par, people’s appearance is above the standard line under normal circumstances, and the residents of the shelter are even more so.
So much so that she was a little numb when she saw handsome men and beautiful women in reality.
”Oh! In other words, will it grow up?” Wei Tail said in surprise.
Si Si was slightly stunned and nodded.
”It should… I think so.”
NPCs will grow up as time goes by.
If this logic is true, it means that as long as you play enough, sooner or later you will see Xiaoyu grow up to be a queen?
Ah, this…
is too real.
”Then, what about Tail?!”
”Well, if he never dies?” Looking at Tail with an expectant look on his face, Sis nodded again, but his tone was a little uncertain.
Upon hearing this, Tail suddenly became like a deflated ball.
Looking at the windmill slowly turning above her head, she sighed deeply.
”Damn! This is too difficult.”
Sis: “…”
The fields were filled with the sound of frogs and cicadas.
In the valley in June, the air was already a little hot.
In order to artificially rain, the factory of the New Alliance made a pressure difference refrigerator, and later the chemical plant made the refrigerant “difluoromethane”.
Thanks to this invention.
Now the industrial zone of the New Alliance can produce refrigerators independently.
Although it will take a long time for these home appliances to enter every household, smart players have already brought a lot of ice-related delicacies into the game.
For example, shaved ice with jam, milk-flavored popsicles, and popsicles… A lot of cold delicacies have emerged on the streets of the north of Shuguang City, which opened the eyes of the merchants and travelers who travel here.
It’s not that there are no such things in other places.
But few are as “complete” as here.
What makes them most incredible is that these are delicacies that ordinary people can enjoy!
This is the most incredible thing…
”… I heard from Brother Chu that in two months, the scenery here will be even more spectacular.” After recovering from the headache of the ice, Xiaoyu happily put another mouthful of ice in her mouth.
By then, the plains north of Linghu Lake will turn into a golden sea.
Listening to Xiaoyu’s words, Pai’s blue eyes were filled with a trace of longing, but soon turned into melancholy.
”Two months… That doesn’t mean we have to wait a long time.”
Although it was only two short days, she already liked this place.
There are endless delicacies to eat, endless scenery to see, endless stories to hear and endless books to read, and all kinds of interesting people.
Of course, everyone in Camp 101 is also a very good person, but everyone is studying what they are interested in.
No one has ever spent a leisurely afternoon with her like today.
Friendship.
This word that she had only seen in books, she didn’t expect it to be so beautiful.
However, when she thought that she would have to go back in a few days, Pai felt a kind of worry that the vacation was about to end.
Looking at Pai, who looked a little melancholy, Xiaoyu tilted her head.
”Two months have passed quickly.”
”Well… that’s what I said.”
Pai was silent for a while, staring at the shaved ice in his hand, and suddenly spoke.
”Xiaoyu.”
Xiaoyu blinked.
”Hmm?”
Pai spoke with determination.
”Do you want to… go to school?”
”Go to school?” Xiaoyu tilted her head and said, “Do you mean night school? Brother Chu said that there is not much I can learn there.”
Night school mainly teaches arithmetic and human language. The main purpose is to eliminate illiteracy, and it will not teach too difficult things. Under the guidance of Brother Chu, she has taught herself algebra, geometry and statistics.
According to Brother Chu, she can already go to school to be a teacher and teach children.
Pai shook his head and looked at her seriously.
”It’s not that kind of school. I learn more powerful knowledge.”
She visited the night school of the New Alliance. The courses taught there are at most three hours of content in the school of Camp 101.
It’s not just the industry that is backward here, the education level is also quite worrying.
Looking at Pai’s seriousness, Xiaoyu’s face showed a trace of confusion.
”What is more powerful knowledge…”
”It can make the windmills above our heads turn faster, let the cars in the fields run farther, let people not sit in the car, but sit on the sofa in the living room, blow the cold wind to plow millions of acres of fertile land, and then spend a whole day with their families…”
Pai described what she had seen in the VR images.
From farmland to factories, to people’s squares and parks, theaters and schools.
Although she had not really seen that era, and the people in Camp 101 had not, her master once told her that as long as they could pass on the information about that era, one day people would recall their former pride and find back what they had lost one by one.
Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to her, listened carefully.
Although she always felt that it sounded like a dream, she was at the age of dreaming, and she couldn’t help but reveal a trace of longing on her face.
”It sounds amazing…”
”Isn’t it? Although the knowledge we have mastered is only a very small part, it is also very amazing!” Pai raised his nose slightly proudly, and continued in a condescending manner, “As long as you study hard, this day will not be far away.”
”But…can I really do it?” Xiaoyu whispered.
”You can do it! Believe me!” Pai gently stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, “I can feel…you have some rare qualities, similar to those residents of the shelter, although the essence is completely different.”
Xiaoyu: “…Qualities?”
Pai nodded.
”Have you noticed that you have special talents in language and arithmetic?”
”Brother Chu did praise me, saying that I learn very quickly…”
Xiaoyu’s cheeks turned slightly red when someone touched her head. She hid back embarrassedly and continued in a low voice, “But how did you know?”
”This is the quality I’m talking about!”
Pai looked at her and continued with a serious expression.
”Occasionally, our camp will recruit some young newcomers whose brain structures are different from those of ordinary people. It only takes them one second to think about a problem that ordinary people need one minute. They can master the knowledge that ordinary people need one year to learn in just one month!”
”We will teach them knowledge and help them develop their talents, just like the pioneers of Shelter 101 once lent a hand to our fathers.”
Even without the help of the ‘Enlightenment Chip’, they still rely on their own talents to reach an astonishing level of brain power.
”For the situation that happens to them, they call it–”
”Awakener!”
Xiaoyu held her breath slightly, her bright eyes full of surprise and confusion.
I…
have the characteristics of an awakener?
To be honest, she didn’t pursue abilities too much, and her current life was already very satisfying to her.
As for learning.
On the one hand, it was because of fun.
On the other hand, Brother Chu told her that doing so would help everyone, and she also wanted to help him from the bottom of her heart and share some of his work.
If she could learn more powerful knowledge…
Seeing that Xiaoyu was still hesitating, Pai couldn’t help but feel anxious.
However, just when she was about to make an extra effort to kidnap Xiaoyu, a suspicious cry came from not far away.
”Boss!!! Please accept my knee!”
”Huh?! What is this?!”
Seeing the strange man suddenly jumping out and rushing towards her thigh, the frightened Pai jumped to the side reflexively, not understanding what the man was saying at all.
It was not until the big white bear pinned the man down that she saw clearly that the man pinned to the ground was the rude guy she met in the industrial zone yesterday.
”Fuck! Do you want to crush me to death?! Let me go, I have made contributions to the alliance and I have shed blood for the managers!” Mosquito, who was pinned down by Rourou’s claw, was lying on the ground, grinning and yelling.
”You, you guy, don’t move around… be honest!” Rourou was a little flustered when he saw the moving mosquito, and accidentally sat on the whole bear, and the mosquito rolled his eyes instantly.
”Oh! Bentai has been brought to justice! Please rest assured and leave the rest to Tail!” Tail raised his thumbs neatly, and a smile that he thought was very handsome appeared on his face.
Xiaoyu looked at a loss, not understanding the situation at all.
”Anyway, even if it is an attempted crime, it is enough for 15 days,” Sis looked at the mosquito on the ground with cold eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, “Do you have anything else to say?”
Looking at the mosquito who was almost out of breath, Zhimahu walked forward with some concern and said.
”Could there be any misunderstanding? Let’s let him go first.”
Even if he was convicted, it was the guards’ job.
Finally realizing that the mosquito was about to be disconnected, Rourou quickly let go and got up from him.
”Ahem… Thank you, I almost died unjustly.” Breathing in the fresh air, the mosquito looked at the kind cat girl with gratitude.
However, what hit him hard was that Zhimahu subtly hid back.
”…I never said you were wronged.”
”Damn it! Okay…I apologize first, sorry! My behavior just now was indeed impulsive! It bothered you! I didn’t mean to offend you, I just wanted to express…my surprise.”
Mosquito took a deep breath, looked at the frightened Pai, and sincerely apologized in an unskilled way.
After listening to Mosquito’s explanation, Pai finally understood what was going on, and then nodded suddenly.
”It’s okay, it’s okay, adults don’t remember petty mistakes!”
”But, although I can understand that your admiration for me is hard to express, please don’t do such things that will cause misunderstandings next time!”
Although she said this in a generous manner, the tip of her nose that couldn’t help but curl up revealed her pride in her heart.
Rourou raised her bear paw and scratched her head.
”So that’s how it is.”
”Emm…Although the behavior is still very perverted, this explanation is reasonable.” Sisi nodded.
In the game, everyone may have behaved a little too wildly, just like Wei, who is a quiet girl in real life, but has an unfathomable stock of emoticons.
But since the person involved has forgiven him, let it be.
Everyone’s expression relaxed, except Wei, who made a regretful “tsk”, as if she regretted not being able to be a police officer.
Looking at Pai with gratitude, Mosquito continued excitedly.
”I have a request! Can you help me?”
”Yes! Go ahead.” Pai nodded proudly.
She liked the feeling of being a teacher the most.
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Mosquito took out an empty glass bottle, stared at her eagerly, and spoke excitedly incoherently.
”That… holy water! Can you give me some more?”
”Huh?”
Wei tilted her head and didn’t understand.
Sisi, who was standing next to him, was stunned for two seconds, stared at the translation on the VM to confirm, and silently pressed the shortcut button with two words in the upper right corner.
”…Anyway, call the police first.”
…
Cow and Horse Club Group.
In order to take care of their good brothers who were still in the incubator, Lao Bai and Fang Chang went offline and reported the latest progress in the game.
Fang Chang: “We just received a task issued by the administrator. The goal is to escort NPC Luca to Boulder City and sign a friendly agreement with the mayor of Boulder City. If nothing unexpected happens, this task should be related to the next version.”
The main plot of “Wasteland OL” is mainly promoted by “player behavior”, “special events” suspected to be set by the planner, and “exclusive tasks” issued by the camp leader.
Although all interested players can see the complete plot and the official website will also update the plot content in real time, there are not many opportunities to participate in the main line of the game as a plot promoter.
Many tasks are unique.
This is also the reason why most players are keen to brush contributions and “favorability”.
④Who knows: “If you don’t understand, just ask, why don’t you just take down Boulder City? (Curious)”
When Brother Ye Ao was still in the group, he had heard of this game and had been following the progress, but he was too lazy to make an appointment.
This situation is not uncommon.
Even money is not something that everyone likes, let alone games.
He prefers listening to his friends bragging to playing games.
Lao Bai: “Those who forget war will be in danger, and those who love war will perish. Now is the time for farming and adventure. We have been fighting in the streets for almost two months, and it’s time to take a break. (grin)” Fang
Chang: “Well, actually, from the perspective of the game background, it’s difficult to start a war. The New Alliance is considered to be the lawful camp, and Boulder City is probably neutral. The raiders and mutant tribes are considered chaotic.”
”Given the situation in the wasteland, the flame of civilization may be extinguished at any time. The possibility of a faction war between the lawful and neutral camps is not zero, but the probability is very small. Unless the planner is really out of work and replaces the manager’s hammer with a sword, or makes a big news.”
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: “The filial son of Lordaeron is okay. (funny)”
Ye Shi: “Huh? Why did you come down here too? Exploded again?”
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: “Get lost! I just came down to log in. (rolling eyes)”
[Reported by players for misconduct against NPCs and banned for two hours] Of course he was embarrassed to say such things.
The photos and recordings were all there, and Mosquito, who had no way to defend himself, simply accepted the punishment.
Anyway, it was only two hours, so it was just right for him to come down for a midnight snack and think about how to lick the fuel formula.
There was no other way, that bottle of fuel was simply too awesome!
Stable, with strong thermal stability, no freezing at low temperatures and excellent fluidity, suitable density and high calorific value!
Not only can it burn continuously and completely, but it also produces almost no carbon deposits and coking… The disadvantages are almost negligible, and he can’t count the advantages with two hands.
If this isn’t black technology, what is it?
It’s simply awesome!
As for why Mosquito was offline, no one asked much, after all, similar situations have happened more than once or twice.
Fang Chang continued typing.
”…In short, the basic situation is like this. We set off in an hour and will be back online immediately. We will contact each other when we get to Boulder City.” Quitting
Smoking: “I’m so envious! TAT”
Kuangfeng: “Remember to record.”
Lao Bai: “No problem! Brothers, take a good rest these two days. (grin)”
”Fuck!”
I’m so angry that I can’t play the game!
After replying a message, Ye Wei rolled his eyes and threw his phone on the table.
However, at this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the screen, and he had to pick up the phone again.
”Brother, would you consider the ready-to-move-in house in Greentown Mansion? (grin)”
The person who sent the message was the agent he had just added this afternoon.
Then, five photos were thrown at him in a row.
Ye Wei took a look and found that the environment was indeed good. The only drawback was that it was on the riverside and a little far from the school.
But it didn’t matter.
At most, I could live on campus from Monday to Friday, and live outside on Saturdays and Sundays.
Ye Wei edited a message and replied.
”Okay.”
It was probably a group message, and the other party paused for a while.
A few seconds later, a message came.
”Uh, brother, what do you mean?”
The agent was a little unsure.
It was not that his business ability was not good, but he just looked at the circle of friends of this client, and he could only say that he was too low-key. He
looked like a student no matter how you looked at him!
”Take me to see the house tomorrow morning.” Ye Wei didn’t want to explain, and replied to the message concisely, and then turned off the message reminder.
In order to relieve the “withdrawal reaction”, he repeatedly turned on and off the screen of his mobile phone several times, and finally resisted the urge to log in to the official website forum, and casually opened Weibo, which he had not logged in for several months.
I wanted to watch a funny video to kill time, but at this moment, when he clicked on the hot search list, he suddenly found that the first one was not the little family affairs of celebrities.
Even three consecutive posts were talking about the same thing.
”…Major breakthroughs in lithium battery technology?”
Ye Wei read it out in a low voice, and he couldn’t help but feel a little curious, so he clicked in to take a look.
The first thing that caught my eye was the video of CCTV.
”Recently, the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has made breakthrough progress in the research on the ‘lithium dendrite problem’. According to the analysis of industry insiders, this problem is an important bottleneck that hinders the research of lithium negative battery…” The narration
ended and the camera turned.
Facing the interview of the reporter, Academician Liu Yiping said with deep emotion.
”To be honest, we have only made a small contribution, which is really unworthy of such an honor! The reason why we have made such great progress is mainly thanks to the help of our partners, as well as the full support of all sectors of society and the country…”
Academician Liu’s words were very modest and rigorous, and he roughly introduced the fields involved in the research from the perspective of popular science.
After interviewing Academician Liu, the reporter then turned the camera to an industry insider – the chief manufacturing officer of a well-known battery company.
Unlike Academician Liu’s modesty and calmness.
Although the performance of this industry insider in front of the camera was relatively restrained, it can be seen from the red light on his face how excited he was at the moment.
It was like betting on the national football team to win money.
”… This will become a milestone event in the new energy industry! It is no exaggeration to say that our lives will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this!”
Although Ye Wei didn’t quite understand what he was saying.
But from the expression on the man’s face, he could roughly feel the shock of this new technology to the industry.
The video was too long, so Ye Wei didn’t watch it all, but went directly to the comment area.
It was beyond his expectation.
Hundreds of thousands of comments and millions of likes were actually seen in a piece of news in the field of scientific research.
”Awesome!”
”6666!”
”Fuck, then my phone can be charged once a week?!”
”The power battery of my new energy vehicle is only 200Wh/kg… Breaking through three digits means 1000Wh/kg?!”
”Be more confident, it should be at least 1000! (grin)”
”It’s okay for a small job, the boss is too modest! TT”
”By the way, what is that cooperative unit? It always feels so mysterious!”
”+1, it didn’t show up at all in the interview.”
”+10000, those who don’t show their faces are all regarded as relevant departments. (Funny)”
Ye Wei was also full of emotion while browsing the comment section of the news.
Unexpectedly, the changes that affect the world did not appear in a grand form.
Instead, on an ordinary night, when he took off his helmet and picked up his phone, people’s lives had changed quietly.
When everyone realized it.
The future has arrived.
After reading the analysis of a certain big V in the forwarding, when he saw how the thin layer of artificial SEI film would affect the national energy strategy and the global energy structure, Ye Wei couldn’t help but exclaimed in admiration.
”Awesome!”
These big guys are too strong!
Although he rarely pays attention to hot news and his major has nothing to do with batteries, he can’t help but feel proud and proud when he hears that the country has made significant progress in scientific research.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
Advanced production technology is the wealth of the whole society.
When the social productivity completes the qualitative change from quantitative change, every individual in the society will usher in a brand new version.
It’s a pity that he is not cut out for research.
I can only give a thumbs up to those big guys who have silently contributed.
(End of this chapter)
