Chapter 19: The Captain's Ambition

"Woo woo master, you can count yourself on coming to me."

The whine in front is the sound of pulleys running over the concrete floor.

After returning to the surface, Chu Guang first went to the third floor of the sanatorium.

I was going to find Xiaoqi to understand the situation, but before I got to the window, I saw the wastepaper basket leaning towards me pitifully.

Chu Guang looked at it with a confused expression, not knowing what happened to it.

"What's your situation?"

"Xiaoqi only has one grid of electricity left."

Alas.

What do you think?

Wait a minute......

Chu Guang: "Where can I find a place for you to recharge?" ”

Xiaoqi: "I have a wireless charging port on my body, and I can stay in the shelter for a while!" ”

Chu Guang: "......"

It's no wonder that I didn't see a single socket in the shelter, and the computer on the table without a host never ran out of power, and the love was all high-tech.

Although wireless charging is not high-tech, it is just that.

Carrying the wastebasket-shaped robot, Chu Guang walked downstairs.

obediently put away the pulley underneath, Xiao Qi suddenly spoke.

"That's right, master."

"What's wrong again."

"It occurred to me that the power system of the vault seemed to be powered by a fusion core."

"Nuclear fusion?"

"Well, so the electricity in it will be used for a long, long time."

"Oh, that's a good thing." Chu Guang had already begun to wonder in his heart, how to steal the electricity inside.

Xiao Qi continued.

"Although, though, it may not be a good thing."

His train of thought was interrupted by this sentence, and Chu Guang, who was going down the stairs, stopped.

"What do you mean?"

"Because it's 2340 now, it's a long, long time since the year the Vault was built......

What?!

Chu Guang hurriedly asked.

"What happens if I run out of electricity?"

However, Xiao Qi's reply made him almost not spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"I don't know."

"I don't know ???"

Such an important question, you really meow and say you don't know!

Isn't there an emergency plan???

Xiao Qi said cautiously.

"Because according to the plan...... This shelter should have been opened a hundred years ago, but it is not known why it was postponed for a whole century. ”

Chu Guang: "......"

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Xiao Qi continued to whisper comfortingly.

"Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic, the power room of Vault 404 should be on the third floor of Vault, as long as you unlock that floor, it is OK to replace the fuel rods in time."

Chu Guang almost couldn't help but squirt.

"Where the hell am I going to get fusion fuel rods!"

It's been 211 years in the Wasteland Age,

Xiaoqi: "Uh, there's always a way, right?" ”

Chu Guang: "......"

In any case, you can't spill gas on electronics.

That's too tasteless.

Chu Guang put Xiao Qi next to the elevator and watched the wastebasket robot roll back with a grunt.

The mood is a little irritable.

However, Chu Guang also knew that it was useless to be anxious at this time, and the problems had to be solved one by one.

There shouldn't be much of a problem with electricity in the short term, even if the opening of the shelter is delayed for a century, but the past century has not worked after all, it should be operating in energy-saving mode, and it is impossible to say that the remaining power will last for decades.

In contrast, the coming winter is more worthy of his nervousness.

Time was running out for him to prepare......

Leave the nursing home.

Chu Guang came to the cement kiln and found that the players were busy with enthusiasm and had already started to build the second cement kiln.

The mounds of earth beside the simmering charcoal are also neatly set up in eight.

This is to skip the agricultural era and jump directly into industrialization!

Chu Guang was overjoyed.

Thanks to his skill, he has a good way to govern the village!

Looking at the oncoming manager, Lao Bai wiped the mud on his face, and his excitement was not at all like an adult in his twenties and thirties, but like a child, and stood up and said.

"Administrator, you're here!"

"Well, I just went down...... Are these the ideas you have in mind? Chu Guang looked at the earthen cement kiln behind him and asked.

"It's everyone's work!"

"Don't be humble, I see it all, and the organization will remember your credit!"

Lao Bai looked excited.

Isn't that what he's waiting for?

Especially the second half of the sentence.

“…… In addition, on behalf of the organization, I will reward each of you with 1,000 contribution points as a reward for unlocking cement building materials. And from now on, you're the building captain of Vault 404 outpost! ”

"You are free to use your creativity to design and build our outposts within the scope of your plan."

It would be nice if the system prompt sound of "ding" could be sounded at this time.

That must be cool.

Or, it's a good idea to have a pop-up that pops up in the eyes of players.

But alas, there are none.

However, even so, even this kind of verbal promise and praise made Lao Bai's face red with excitement.

Exploit!

Posts!

And, favorability!

It seems that the hidden system of this game is even richer than he imagined!

"Dear Administrator! I will definitely do my best to build our home as best I can! ”

The other three players all looked at him with envy.

Although everyone has contribution points, it is obvious that Lao Bai, who has won the position of "construction captain", is the one who really makes a lot of money.

can freely play the construction facilities, where is this construction captain, it is clearly the director of the planning office of the wasteland OL!

Awesome!

Looking at the energetic Lao Bai, Chu Guang nodded approvingly and said.

"Good, now I need you to tell me your plans."

"Yes!"

The old white waist straightened up and began to report.

According to Lao Bai, after he went off the assembly line yesterday, he investigated the cement factory in reality, asked the master in the factory, and learned that adding iron powder to cement can get stronger and more durable cement.

Talking about content outside the game seems to be automatically ignored by NPCs, and seeing that the manager didn't react, Lao Bai went straight to the point.

Considering that the wasteland was full of rusty steel, he mixed the rust he collected with charcoal, used the latter as a reducing agent, and calcined the iron slag with the cement of the grass and wood.

Although this may seem to increase the cost of cement production, the cement fired in this way can be used to make cement kilns that are more durable, resistant to high temperatures, and have a larger output.

"It is impossible to produce large quantities of cement with only these kilns, so I plan to put all the cement produced in the early stage into the construction of production facilities to further increase the output of cement!"

Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"That's a good idea, but ...... How much cement can be produced from tree bark alone? ”

Just now, Chu Guang had noticed that not only the pile of logs that had been cut down on the ground, but also the bark of the trees near the sanatorium had almost been bald by these survivors.

I didn't even let go of the tree stump!

Lao Bai had obviously thought about this question and replied confidently.

"That's why we need more specialized kilns...... The kind that can produce a high temperature of 1450 degrees Celsius! In this way, we can make calcium carbonate cement by firing limestone and clay, completely replacing the raw materials of plant ash! ”

Cement with potassium and sodium is not the most ideal building material, but a substitute when conditions do not allow.

After being appointed as the captain of the building, Lao Bai suddenly had greater ambitions.

He no longer sees a single wall or a sanatorium.

It's the whole wasteland.

He wants to transform the world into what he thinks it is!

"You've thought it through, so just do what you want."

Chu Guang nodded, and then looked at the other three players.

"Recently, two new people will end their dormancy and join our advance team. I'm going to have a little party to welcome them, so I'm going to need to get some game back...... You can't invite them to drink porridge. ”

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

"Who wants to go hunting with me."

As soon as the words fell, he raised his four hands.

Chu Guang was stunned.

Good fellow, even the captain of the building he just appointed, has his hands up!

"Ahem, it doesn't take that many people...... Come on night ten, you're from the perception department. ”

"Yes! Administrator! ”

Night Ten saluted excitedly, and stood next to the manager with his head held high under the envious eyes of the three players.

Chu Guang looked at the other three players and said solemnly.

"Your task is also critical, cement is the top priority of the outpost's development. The wood is enough for the time being, the logging work can be stopped, I need you to produce cement with all your might, can you do it? ”

Although it is a pity that they were not able to go hunting with the Administrator, the three players obediently followed his arrangement.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Very good.

Worthy of being my appointed player!

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the woods to the south of the sanatorium with Ye Shi, who was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth......
