Chapter 12: A Grassy Parking Lot
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Guang didn't come up with a result.
Although the principle of the generator is very simple, junior high school students know that it is nothing more than "the movement of the conductor to cut the magnetic inductance line". But it is not so simple to turn this sentence into a 10KW power generator.
asked Du Niang, and all the links that were pushed to him were purchases.
Hehe.
If I can shop online, do I need you to teach me which one to buy?
Nothing!
After a lot of work, Chu Guang finally found some reliable tutorials, but considering the current situation of lack of materials, none of these materials could really come in handy.
It was six o'clock sharp.
With the sound of the hatch opening, the four players woke up.
"We'll look into it later."
Chu Guang put down his legs on the table, tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror he picked up, and calmly walked to the next room.
When he walked into the room, the four players were looking at their stats through the display of the training pod.
"Sure enough, my genetic sequence is a power line...... The initial value has 7 points of strength, but the intelligence attribute is only 3? But I don't feel stupid. ”
That doesn't sound very smart...... Anyway, your beard is growing too fast. ”
Lao Bai's beard is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Yesterday it was stubble, today it is as long as a fingernail.
"I don't know what's going on, but are there any razors here?"
"Apparently not, why don't you try it with an axe?"
"Fuck off."
"Anyway, I was actually from the Agile Department, and I thought I was from the Intelligence Department." Fang Chang pinched his chin and fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.
"I'm intellectual," Tempest raised his hand with a wry smile, "Isn't the power of 3 points too low?" 7 Intelligence ...... I don't feel like I'm getting any smarter. ”
"I'm a perceptual system, what's the use of perceptual attributes? Can you see the future? "Night Ten is a little depressed.
Rather than such ambiguous attributes, he would have preferred himself to be better in terms of strength or agility.
No matter how poor your physique is, you can at least be a tank.
"It's supposed to be an instinct for a crisis, have you forgotten how you dodged that xenomorph's sneak attack yesterday?" Fang Chang pondered and said, "If this attribute is used well, maybe it will be quite buggy...... It's a pity in your hands. ”
"."
"Ahem."
Chu Guang, who walked into the room, coughed, interrupting the players' conversation.
Maybe it's because I used my identity as a planner to talk to them about their favorability last night, and the four players looked at them differently.
For the sake of the players' sense of substitution, Chu Guang decided to continue to maintain his majestic image and continued solemnly.
"Time is pressing, I'll make a long story short."
"There was a lot of work to be done, but there wasn't much time left for us. In order not to interfere with our future plans, we need to complete our outpost on the surface before winter begins. ”
"Food, drinking water, fuel...... These require reserves, as well as the construction of fortifications and surface dwellings. ”
"I've put together a schedule of work that you can check on the sign at the entrance of the nursing home."
The players' eyes lit up and their faces were filled with eager expressions.
Quest system perfected?
"That's all for the basics, if there's anything else to ask, if not, we'll go."
"Wait, wait, Administrator!"
"Say."
Ye Shichang blushed and raised his hand.
"Please, excuse me, where's the toilet?"
……
Lavatory.
This is indeed a problem.
The B1 floor of Vault 404 is more like a reception room, and although there are cubicles for the cultivation pods, there are no living facilities in it.
Looking at the players who rushed out of the sanatorium after coming to the surface, Chu Guang suddenly realized that with the influx of players, not only eating and drinking was a problem, but would soon become a big problem.
There are communal toilets on Bate Street, where human and animal waste is collected and supposedly sold to nearby Brown Farm.
After coming to the sanatorium in the wetland park, Chu Guang has always been looking for a safe place in the forest to solve it, but he has not considered the problem of pulling and scattering the number one hundred people.
I don't know if I had a bad stomach, but the four players came back limping.
"It's so uncomfortable not to have a pit."
"There's no paper, Lao Tzu still wipes it with leaves...... Almost didn't scratch and bleed. ”
“+1。”
"Grass, how do I feel hot...... Do you guys feel it? ”
"Nope."
"Did you wipe your butt with nettle leaves......"
"What, what's nettle leaves?"
"It's nothing, just endure it and it's over."
“???”
Chu Guang listened to it with an embarrassed face.
He seemed to have forgotten to tell the guys that butt rubbing could be done with Tess, which was a little bit of knowledge he had learned from the survivors of Bate Street.
However, they didn't seem to give him a chance to speak.
Bear with me.
That's how it all came over.
"Master Administrator," he limped over to Chu Guang, and said in a respectful tone, "I propose that we build a toilet. ”
Night Ten: "Reconsideration!" ”
Lao Bai: "I am also in favor, and with toilets, we can also dig a big pit, collect the manure, and mix it with plant ash and wood chips to compost, so that aerobic bacteria and fungi can decompose organic matter and heat, and kill the pathogenic microorganisms and pathogens in the feces to make fertilizer." ”
Fang Chang: "That's right, and not just to produce fertilizer, we can also mix and seal a part of the manure and organic debris, and let the anaerobic bacteria convert it into combustible methane!" That's how the biogas digester in my hometown is made, and the biogas produced can be used for lighting and can also generate electricity. ”
"That's a good idea, you can take it." Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
Biogas.
He had been worried about survival before, but he forgot about it.
I have the impression that although there is no biogas digester on Bate Street, there is one at Brown Farm next door.
Seeing the approving expression on the manager's face, the four players were even more energetic, and they brainstormed one word at a time.
It is not difficult to build a toilet, not even a digester, the only trouble is the sealing and storage materials.
Luckily, there is nothing missing in this wasteland, except plastic.
Especially drink bottles and garbage bags.
Due to the toxic gases produced by combustion, few survivors burned it, and at most used it as a fire.
If you look closely, you should find quite a few in the suburbs.
As a result, there is another task on the task board to pick up garbage - collecting plastic bags, bottles and cans.
"Your Excellency, I have an idea about the generator." Hurricane, who had not spoken before, suddenly spoke.
Chu Guang looked at him.
"Tell me about it."
Tempest said.
"Cars usually have on-board generators, so I wonder if there are any roads around here? Or parking is also available. If you can find a car, this problem should be well solved. ”
Chu Guang said.
"It's not hard to find cars, there is a parking lot near the wetland park where we are located, but I have seen all the cars there, and there is nothing worth recycling."
"I'd like to give it a try," said Tempest, "and if we find a working generator, we'll have power at our surface outposts!" ”
"Then you go, but I can't let you go alone," Chu Guang glanced at the player in front of him, and his gaze fell on Ye Shi, "You and Tempest go to the parking lot to have a look." ”
Ye Shi said energetically.
"Yes!"
Night Ten's genetic sequence is a perceptual system, and his intuition for crises can come in handy.
Before leaving, Chu Guang asked them to bring two short knives for mowing the grass, which were better than bulky axes when they encountered xenos.
In addition, Chu Guang also repeatedly told them that if they encountered a different species, they must avoid fighting and run if they can.
But if the other party has already found out and is clearly hostile, don't leave your back to the enemy under any circumstances.
Doing so is tantamount to suicide......
With a map of the wetland park and a simple guidebook, Tempest left the sanatorium with Night Ten.
Lao Bai and Fang Chang, who were staying, looked at Chu Guang and asked.
"Administrator, shall we continue to cut down trees now, or?"
Chu Guanghuan glanced around and counted the dozens of untreated logs on the ground.
"I'm not going to cut down trees today, I have to solve the toilet problem first...... Then go and get shovels and axes, and I'll show you how to get them. ”
……
The parking lot is on the southeast side of the nursing home.
For 200 years, no one cared.
Nature has completely engulfed here.
The roots of the trees had pierced through the hard concrete floor, and the bushes were overgrown with weeds, knee-high.
Rusty cars are covered in vines, and through the broken windows, you can even see moss crawling all over the seats and air conditioning vents.
Seeing all this in front of him, Tempest finally understood what the manager said.
There's really nothing left here worth recycling.
Night Ten was also embarrassed.
It's all like this, and you can find a ghost generator.
"Do you want to go back?"
The wind was silent for a moment, and walked forward unconvinced.
"It's coming."
Yashi shrugged his shoulders and followed.
After knowing each other for so many years, his biggest impression of this netizen is that he is stubborn, and he doesn't know what he does in reality.
Many cars in the parking lot have rusted hoods and can't be opened at all. Tempest searched around the parking lot before finding something that could barely be opened.
But after opening the hood, he was stunned.
This is......
Motor?
"What's wrong?" Night Ten leaned over and asked.
"It's like an electric engine...... But it doesn't seem to be," said Tempest, frowning, "Do you know cars?" ”
"I didn't even get a driver's license, so I don't know this." Ye Shihan said, "Haven't you been working for many years and haven't bought a car?" ”
"I live in a dormitory, and I just have a bicycle."
The wind continued to rummage in the hood for a while, even going around the back of the car and lying under the car...... I checked everything I could.
But suddenly, his hand stopped.
Noticing the expression on his face, Yashi asked.
"What's wrong again?"
"It's kind of weird...... I can't find the power supply. Wiping the muddy water from his face, the wind frowned, and pondered for a long time, "I can roughly find the engine, but ...... No power found. ”
"Could it be demolished?" "After all, it's been a wasteland for two hundred years, and it's normal for survivors to visit here." ”
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Habitually closing the hood and looking at the abandoned cars in the parking lot, the wind had mixed feelings.
Actually, there is another possibility.
In the game's setting, the pre-war society was technologically advanced enough that it might have been able to replace a fixed power source with a remote power source.
But either way, it's not a good thing for him.
It is unlikely that a generator will be found from a scrap car now......
……
The other side.
New progress has been made in the construction of toilets.
Under Chu Guang's command, Lao Bai and Fang Chang first dug a large pit two meters wide and three meters long in the open space outside the sanatorium, which was large enough to bury a person, and then inserted sawn logs around the pit as a wall, and then put some broken stones and leaves in it.
The manure pit was repaired, and the toilet was much simpler.
Chu Guang directly asked the two of them to build two simple sheds on the edge of the manure pit, and connected the next manure pit with a plastic hose removed from the outer wall of the sanatorium.
In this way, a simple toilet is completed.
"Feces and urine have to be stored separately and can easily form mud when mixed together. And the urine is sterile and can be watered directly with crops...... But let's do it for today," looking at the fruits of the two of them in the morning, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
Lao Bai and Fang Chang, who were panting with a shovel, looked helpless.
It's a 100% realistic VR game, but is it really necessary to be that realistic?
"And bathing is also a problem...... There is a water source within a kilometer of the water source, but there are many alien species near the water source, so you have to be extra careful when taking water. ”
Let's build a bathhouse when the time comes.
Otherwise, the smell is a small matter, but getting sick can become a big problem.
"Your Excellency, Administrator." Fang Chang raised his hand.
Chu Guang looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"I think we should think about safety," Fang Chang said, "Judging by the xenomorph we encountered yesterday, this wasteland is not safe. ”
Nonsense.
It's up to you to say that.
"I know, but the issue of hygiene should not be underestimated. There is not enough medicine in the shelter, and if it causes an infectious disease, the consequences can be serious. ”
The safety problem is not so urgent, the xenomorphs in the wetland park are not as active as in the city, and there are not many survivors in the vicinity, even if there is danger, they can hide in the shelter.
The hygiene of more than 100 people is a big problem.
Every household on Bate Street uses iron buckets to fill water, put it on the roof to heat and disinfect, and scrub its body every two or three days. It's not because of how particular the people are there, but because it's too smelly, you'll really be kicked out.
Fang Chang and Lao Bai glanced at each other.
Isn't there such a thing as cleanliness in this manager's AI setting?
You'll have to pay attention to it later.
"Speaking of which...... One question I've always wanted to ask is, why doesn't such a large shelter have any supplies at all? Lao Bai interjected, "And we've been on the B1 floor, what about the other floors?" ”
"The other floors are not open for the time being, and will be open in the future."
Chu Guang did not explain the reason, but simply stated the facts.
Although the two players were curious, they couldn't ask, so they didn't insist, and they just regarded it as the setting.
At this time, Yaju and Tempest, who had gone out to explore, returned.
Looking at the mud-stained wind, Chu Guang asked.
"How? Did you find the generator? ”
"Not found, but not entirely without gains."
As he spoke, Tempest opened the plastic bag he had picked up from an unknown trash can, and it contained a bag full of blue mushrooms.
These mushrooms are not large, only the length of the index finger, and have translucent fine cilia on the surface, and you can see a colorful luster when you look along the lines.
Chu Guang glanced at it, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Where did you get this thing?"
With a hint of smugness on his face, Tempest reported truthfully.
"There was a concrete sewer pipe near the parking lot, about the height of two people, and there were a lot of these mushrooms growing in the pipe, and I wasn't sure if I could eat it, so I picked some of them."
In fact, he wanted to taste it at first, but the game was so realistic that he hesitated for a long time and didn't go down.
"Its name is Blue Umbrella Mushroom, and its scientific name is 'Blue Angel', and I heard that people who eat it can meet real angels in one hour at most."
"Don't doubt it, unless you're a mutant who is invincible, you can't eat this thing."
