This little guy is actually a drone?

Well, almost ugly.

Looking at the silver metal ball that popped out of his head and floated in front of him, Chu Guang poked it with interest.

Can it also be adaptively stable?

"It's kind of interesting."

Changed the propeller to wings, and the sphere was painted gold, and a little smaller, it looked like the golden snitch in Harry Potter.

The light blue label attached to this thing by the system reads the words ""Hummingbird" drone, and it is accompanied by a long list of instructions for use.

In short, it can be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission functions by inserting a plug-in the size of a thumbnail.

The general interface on the VM just coincides with this plugin.

But is this a weapon?

Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.

"But you didn't ask me, master."

Emmm……

It seems to be too.

Chu Guang didn't blame it, and after playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask.

"What's the use of this thing? Can you shoot? ”

It can't be a self-destruction.

If it's really a one-time consumable, it's too much.

Xiaoqi: "Its role is mainly to investigate...... It's not easy for such a small guy to be able to integrate a long-lasting battery and a motor, and he definitely can't carry combat parts, right? ”

"Scouting?" Chu Guang stood next to the drone and observed for a while, "Why didn't I see its camera?" ”

Xiao Qi continued to explain.

"The camera has become one with the surface material, and it is definitely invisible to the eye. Don't worry about performance, though, the camera is small, but it's powerful! The 60 dot matrix camera clusters distributed on the surface of the sphere can capture 360-degree high-definition images of the area without dead angles, and can be used even at night. ”

I can't see the camera, but the whole body is a camera smaller than a pinhole, right?

Doesn't having a camera mean that you can take pictures?

Although Xiaoqi can also take pictures, because the range of activities is too small, at most he will stand on the sanatorium and pat the players at work.

With this stuff, you should be able to take a lot of interesting photos. Add a little filter, a proper cinematic game CG.

Chu Guang touched his chin and continued to ask.

"What about flight altitude? There is also distance, working hours, and...... How to charge? ”

Xiao Qi replied quickly.

"Charging is very simple, the drone has a built-in wireless charging port, which can be automatically charged in the shelter like me, and my power can also be shared with it."

"As for the flight altitude, it is recommended to fly at a low altitude below 100m, although theoretically it is not impossible to fly to a height of hundreds of meters, but it is recommended that it is best not to stay at high altitude for too long, working in a high-altitude environment for a long time will not only cause load to the engine, but also bring potential safety hazards."

"As for the distance, if there are not many obstacles, it is good to use within three kilometers, but it is also not recommended to be too far from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone, and the advantage is that it has an ultra-long endurance of nearly 12 hours and obstacles to cross in a complex environment...... Remote reconnaissance is still a bit of a struggle. ”

Where there are many obstacles, signal transmission will be affected.

However, the control chip of the "Hummingbird" drone has an integrated automatic return program, which will automatically activate the AI once the connection is lost, and control the drone to return to the starting coordinates or a preset rendezvous point according to the video screen and estimated route in the cached data.

After understanding the function of this little guy, Chu Guang reached out and took off the drone, and the more he held it in his hand, the more he liked it.

If you throw the drone into the sky before a fight, it is equivalent to sticking a real eye in the enemy's head.

Videos and images can be received through the VM.

It's just awesome!

"The host ......"

"What's wrong?" Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, "Are there any other features that haven't been introduced?" ”

"That...... Can you give it to Xiaoqi? Xiao Qi weakly proposed, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main server of the Vault, and the pictures I see can be directly transmitted to you." If you give it to me, Xiaoqi will be able to see farther away, and it will be more convenient for you to monitor the activities of your players. ”

"That's a good idea." Chu Guang's eyes lit up.

This thing is good for fighting, but there are not many opportunities to go to the front line, and now the defense is stacked like an iron bucket, so many of these things are actually not that useful.

It's better to take it to the screen.

No, strategic reconnaissance should be said!

Xiao Qi continued.

"Master, yesterday when I was helping you sort out the information, I noticed that the guard's diary seems to mention a signal tower? If the power to that tower can be restored, it may be possible to further expand the signal coverage of Vault 404. ”

Chu Guang placed the drone on top of Xiao Qi's head and continued with interest.

"You mean...... Is that the signal tower that the guards use to communicate with surface survivors? I've thought about it, but based on the clues that players have been getting back from exploring the map, it doesn't seem to be very rewarding. ”

Xiao Qi continued.

"The tower's function is supposed to be more than just communication with the surface, and according to clues in the recordings, the vault appears to have been collecting radio signals from the ground for analysis for several years after the war."

"According to my speculation, this tower should have a full signal transmission and reception function, and maybe we can use it to provide information services to the player's VM equipment. This way, you can post quests to your players, even in areas far from the Vault. ”

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"The idea is a good idea, but the question is where do we go to find this tower? Do you have a map? ”

Xiao Qi said immediately.

"There's no map, but it's clear that this tower is near us, right? If the two kilometers around it have been explored by the player—"

Hearing this, Chu Guang suddenly reacted.

"76th Street?"

Xiao Qi said happily.

"Hmmm! The hosts were awesome! ”

Truly.

Eliminate all the wrong options, and the final answer will naturally surface.

The wetland park is flanked by lakes to the west and northwest, wasteland, abandoned buildings, and abandoned park facilities to the south, and Bate Street and the Fifth Ring Road to the south of Bate Street to the south.

As for the area around the abandoned tire factory to the north, the players of the Vault have already figured it out, and the only one that has not been explored is 76th Street, which is directly opposite the East Gate.

Speaking of which, the greenhouse ruins seem to be at the entrance to 76th Street.

The range of movement of players is getting closer and closer to the realm of mutants.

Chu Guang, who was looking at the map, fell into deep thought.

"Tsk."

"Gotta think of a way to get rid of those green-skinned muscles."

……

Early the next morning.

The heavy snow has stopped for a while, and it seems that today is a rare sunny day.

At the door of the weapons store, there was a large circle of people.

Later players stood on tiptoe, looked through the crowd, pulled the players next to them, and asked what was going on.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people here? ”

"Auction at the weapons shop!"

"Auction?! When is it time to fight a team fight again, why don't I know? ”

"It's not a team fight, it's just an ordinary auction! I don't know what's going on.,It seems like it's a temporary event in the game.,Didn't you read the official website? ”

"Nope! As soon as Lao Tzu got home, he didn't take off his clothes, so he buckled his helmet on his head! ”

"Damn, you don't even take a shower?"

"Wake up in the morning and wash it! How can there be a game in reality? ”

"Crazy, crazy."

Chu Guang glanced at the crowd around him, and when he saw that the people were almost there, he cleared his throat, raised the bow in his hand, and said in a solemn and solemn tone.

“…… This is a mechanical compound bow from the deepest part of the Vault, and the legend about it ...... Well, in fact it hasn't left any legends yet. ”

"It's not important!"

"A new blade, a shiny bowstring, a graduated zoom sight, a battery and an electric drive to charge the pulleys! Help you unleash the fatal blow! It is the undisputed latest and was born for hunting. The legend about it is waiting for you to write! ”

"The starting price is 100 silver! Each increase must not be less than 1 credit! ”

"No upper limit!"

Don't shoot the cap price!

Stimulate!

The moment the words fell, the atmosphere of the scene instantly boiled.

"101 silver!"

"I'll give 102 silver!"

"Gan! There's something wrong with you! I'm out 110 silver! ”

"I'm with one hand, 120 silver, this bow is better than a gun no matter how you look at it, if you use a three-edged arrow, you can't shoot through-"

"130 silver! You're talking too much! ”

“180！！”

The shouts were broken.

The scene was instantly silent.

Everyone looked at the person who shouted the price, thinking that it was the mosquito who never went to the front line, but it turned out to be "the only book brother who was planned to be banned by himself" on the forum - [The mole on the run in the canyon]

Will he use a bow and arrow?

Somewhat embarrassed by everyone's eyes, the mole argued with a red face.

"I'm agile, do you have a problem?"

Silent.

Forced by his momentum, a little Mengxin who was close to him next to him whispered.

"No ......"

"Right-"

"Ahem, I'm 188, make up an auspicious number."

“！”

The mole, who had been smug for less than two seconds, jerked back to look at the hand held up in the crowd. Seeing this, everyone around sighed, and the mosquito really struck.

After the price breaks 150, it's a fairy fight.

Players in the third tier have withdrawn from the bid, and players in the second tier remain on the sidelines.

To be honest, you can sell weapons to anyone, but Chu Guangwei doesn't really want to sell them to mosquitoes. Every time this guy shoots something, he never uses it, and he hoards it as a collectible.

For example, the scorpion-type submachine gun, and the double-barreled shotgun that the big boss of the Bloody Hand Clan exploded, Chu Guang had never seen this guy bring it out and use it.

Hoard yarn for use!

Can you give birth to cubs or what can you do?

At this moment, a big hand of justice was raised.

"200 silver!"

"it?!"

"Two, two hundred?!"

The mole and the mosquito, their eyes instantly widened.

When he looked back suddenly, he saw that the person who raised his hand was actually Elder Brother Fang, who had entered the game earlier than them.

The surrounding players are also whispering.

"200 silver for a bow?!"

"Crazy, this money can buy two guns!"

"But I don't think it's a loss, like tying explosives to the triangular arrows...... Have you played Graphics Crisis? That's what I'm talking about. ”

"MMP, don't say it, Lao Tzu's intelligence department wants to buy it!"

"Woo woo, when can I be so rich."

Fang Chang ignored the whispers of the other players, looked at the mosquito brother, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother give face...... I bought it for real use. ”

Of these players, there is probably no one who is more proficient in using bows and arrows than him.

The mosquito reluctantly spread out his hands and surrendered.

"My own people, I abandon it."

If you don't give up, there's no way.

He did make a fortune selling wooden bows to newcomers before, but the expenses for his "invention and creation" were also large, plus the previous period of buying, buying, buying, buy

The mole yelled in annoyance.

"Gan! Where did you get all this money? Embezzlement of public funds! ”

Before Fang Chang could speak, Ye Shi came out.

"Hehe, you think we don't do anything but burn bricks? If nothing else, the exclusive task of the brick factory is to increase the daily output to more than 5,000, and there will be 100 silver coins directly-"

Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai covered Ye Shi's mouth.

"Okay, okay, don't talk."

When the planner hears it, the caution is gone.

But that being said, the 200 silver coins are actually all the deposits of the Cow and Horse Squad. The reason why Fang Chang didn't raise his card before was actually to discuss with his teammates.

Without going around in circles, he wanted this bow.

His current shooting accuracy is 50m away and he can already shoot moving targets, if he can get this bow, his combat power will directly increase several times, and the team's DPS will also increase a lot!

The other three teammates didn't have any opinions, they played other games together, and it was the same for changing games.

The output of the team has gone up, but you are still worried about not making money?

Especially Night Ten, he is the most supportive of Elder Brother Fang. After all, the bolt-action rifle he was using now was the one that Fang Chang had proposed that everyone raise money to match him.

The mole in the canyon is on the run: "Alas, you are really rich, crying." ”

Fang Chang smiled and said, "I'm sorry brother, next time I have something good, I definitely won't rob it from you!" ”

The mole in the canyon is on the run: "I remember this!" ”

In this way, the battle between the local tyrant players came to an end, and everyone dispersed and went their own way.

Brother Mole is still the same as yesterday, pulling the convoy from the forum and rushing to the copy of the greenhouse ruins together. As for the two brothers lying in the team, they were replaced by two new power systems.

The insect dungeon is a rare and difficult to play a role for perception players, and the vast majority of insect xenomorphs seem to have their own stealth bonuses, and they can't be perceived at all.

At present, a consensus has been formed on the official website forum that when this kind of copy is placed, it is better to bring two more tanks with reconnaissance.

If you can resist, you will have output.

As for the cattle and horse squad, Chu Guang specially used a drone to observe it, and found that they did not stay in the brick factory, but walked out of the wetland park along the north gate and went to a collapsed department store between the tire factory and the abandoned construction site.

Is there anything there?

Chu Guang was very curious, but he didn't follow the drone, after all, it was more than three kilometers ahead, and the signal was somewhat affected.

Anyway, they found something good, and they didn't bring it back to themselves, so when the time came, they flipped through the guide on the official website, and they naturally figured it out.

……

The combat pros are all out to work, and there are only newcomers to the base who run errands, as well as life pros who play "Wasteland Online" as a health game.

When Chu Guang walked into the Tengteng hut, the ingenious Miss Fujito was standing on the bench, facing a wooden board smeared with charcoal, teaching the three intellectual department budding how to use the leftovers from making fur coats to make some leather goods such as gun holsters and scabbards.

“…… No two leaves are the same, and no two furs are the same, so you must remember that. ”

"If you want to become a qualified designer, you must first learn to distinguish the subtle differences between the furs of similar sizes, and only when you choose the materials can you start the next step."

"Do you understand?"

Fuji Fuji, who stands on the bench and gives a lecture, is like a teacher in a kindergarten class.

The three players stared wide-eyed, obviously not understanding, but nodded in confusion.

"Got it!"

"Awesome!"

Seeing that his students were so perceptive, Fujito nodded with satisfaction, patted his swarthy hands, and jumped off the bench.

At this time, she saw the manager standing at the entrance, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Hidden quests delivered to your door?!

"Well, you guys think about it for yourself first!"

Throwing down a sentence, Fujito immediately greeted the entrance and said excitedly.

"Dear Administrator, do you have any instructions?"

Chu Guang said straight to the point.

"The outpost has recently captured a batch of devil moth cocoons, and the devil silk drawn from these cocoons is excellent material, I would like to ask you if there is a way to weave them into a working cloth."

"Weaving?" Fujito looked dazed, "I remember that before weaving, I had to reel the silk first?" ”

Honestly, she won't.

If it's just a costume design, you don't need such "basic" knowledge at all. Even the fur processing she is doing now is only taught by herself through the learning materials downloaded from the Internet after playing "Wasteland Online".

Now the manager has another problem for her.

Although it is not difficult to find some publicly available information with the help of the Internet. But she wasn't sure if the information she found was still valid for the devil's moth's cocoon.

Is it true that anyone would make clothes out of moth cocoons?

It sounds weird.

Chu Guang looked at Fuji Teng and continued.

"Whether it's silk reeling or whatever, I need it to be a usable thread and cloth. If we can use these materials, we can make lighter and more durable armor, and exchange the surplus for food that we desperately need...... Do you have any great ideas? ”

Although he didn't have much confidence, Fujito nodded energetically when he learned the importance of this task from the manager.

"I haven't tried it before, but I think I can give it a try!"

As the voice fell, she received a task pop-up on her VM.

【Mission: Textile Technology】

[Briefing: The outpost has obtained a batch of devil's silk, which are high-quality materials, but in order to turn these materials into silk threads and cloth, we must first solve the problem of production tools.] 】

[Requirements: Make a spinning machine and loom.] 】

[Reward: 100 Credits]

[Note: While a hand spinning machine and loom will suffice to complete the mission, if you can combine the outpost's current needs to make a more powerful production machine, you may trigger additional hidden rewards.] 】

100 credits!

When he saw the quest reward, Fujito's eyes instantly changed to the color of a silver coin.

Especially the latter remark.

If you can make a high-performance production machine, you may even trigger additional hidden rewards!

"Don't worry, honorable administrator!"

With his index finger smacking on the VM screen, Fujito raised his head excitedly and swore that he would continue, "Fujito will definitely live up to your expectations!" ”

"Well, please."

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

If he had to figure out these troubles by himself, just one steelmaking would be enough for him to ponder until next year.

But with these hard-working and brave little players......

Chu Guang suddenly felt that life in the wasteland was not as difficult as he imagined.
