In the end, Miss Fujito, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, still paid for this machine.

Even if it wasn't an order you placed at all.

Mosquito and Brother Toilet Suo probably felt very embarrassed, and said that this steam engine would only charge half of the cost, and refund half of the money to Fuji Teng.

In addition, the two of them also asked Fuji Teng for a few more days of grace for the order, and promised that this time she would not be disappointed, and the remaining balance could be settled when the loom was made.

Helped move the machine into the rattan hut.

Looking at the steam engine that took up a small half of the room, the mosquito scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said embarrassedly.

"Well, the main thing is that I don't know much about weaving...... But don't worry! I'll ask a few knowledgeable acquaintances, and I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out! ”

Looking at the big guy in the workshop, Fujito sighed quietly.

"I hope so."

Regardless, having a steam engine is always a good thing.

During this time, Fujito himself has not been idle, and has been studying how to make raw silk from the cocoon of the devil moth.

Referring to the modern silk production process, she found that the cocoon of the devil moth was continuously cooked with hot water at 90 degrees, and after the chrysalis inside was cooked, it was placed in room temperature water for a while, and the cocoon silk would naturally fall off in circles.

At this time, you only need to use two chopsticks to reach in and stir, sieve out the "thread" of the devil's silk, and then you can draw the silk by hand.

Luckily, the Devil's Moth's cocoons are large, and each cocoon is woven from a single piece of silk.

Moreover, these silk threads are tough enough that they are difficult to cut easily with scissors, and the difficulty of reeling silk is much easier than that of a small cocoon in reality.

Fuji Fuji referred to the PPT downloaded from the Internet, and assembled a set of hand-cranked silk reeling machines by himself through a set of parts ordered in the carpentry hut, and the efficiency was also okay.

There is already a lot of raw silk in stock, and the next step is to find a way to weave this raw silk into cloth.

Of course, it would be nice if you could use steam power for it.

……

At the same time, outside the trenches at the west gate of the outpost.

A group of survivors who had been transferred from the brick factory stood in a crooked formation. Although many of them are skinny and have poor complexions, they are still much better than half a month ago.

They wore freshly changed fur coats, each with a wooden stick more than a meter long, and looked blankly at the manager who was standing in front of the queue to give a lecture.

"I have a new job here that I want to give you. Of course, you have the right to give up. Now I can put down the wooden stick in my hand and still go back to work in the brick factory. ”

Chu Guang waited for a while.

No one moved.

Nodding with satisfaction, Chu Guang continued.

"Very well, since you have all voluntarily chosen to stay, then I want you to prove your loyalty with your actions."

Clearing his throat, he raised his voice.

"Starting today, you will be assigned to the outpost's guard team, responsible for maintaining order at the outpost!"

"The number on the plate on your chest is your number, and it will stay with you until you are discharged. Your work includes, but is not limited to, patrolling, standing guard, maintaining order, upholding the dignity of the law, and daily practice and study. ”

"In return, Vault 404 will pay you a salary of 80 silver coins per month, as well as food and lodging."

The monthly salary of 80 silver coins is still very good.

At first, there was only one silver coin a day, but later the managers raised their salaries and changed it to two silver coins a day.

Hearing that the wages had been raised again, the survivors, who were still at a loss, had joyful expressions on their faces.

Chu Guang didn't care about their open-eyed appearance.

After all, it is less realistic to expect a group of hyenas-like wastelanders to have lofty ideals and beliefs than to expect mutants to sit down and negotiate with themselves.

But it doesn't matter.

He will use harsh training to teach them what obedience is and what discipline is.

"Hear me."

"Got it!"

"Be louder, haven't you eaten!"

"Got it!!

In the face of the majesty of the manager, no one dared to slack off, and they all took out the strength to eat, and shouted out with their voices.

It's still a little bit off, but this time it's okay.

Chu Guang nodded, and then ordered.

"Now, everyone turn left, run around the outpost, and come back to me when you're done! What are you doing standing there stupidly? Get moving! I'll see who's last, give me five more laps! ”

Hearing the last sentence, a group of people finally came to their senses and ran forward with their legs spread, for fear that the slowest person would be themselves.

Without waiting for a while, someone had already finished running a lap and returned to Chu Guang's side.

Staring at the man who was out of breath, Chu Guang spoke.

"Report your name and number."

The man struggled to control his breathing and replied respectfully.

"Wrench, No. 006, my lord!"

It took Chu Guang a while to react, "wrench" was this guy's name.

Good guys, that's a casual name.

Was it because there was a wrench right next to the bed where he delivered the baby?

I really can't think of a good surname for this name, and Chu Guang, who doesn't know how to name it, doesn't bother to give him a surname.

"Number 006, from today onwards, you are the captain of the guard. Your only job is to train the rookies behind you and train with them. ”

As he spoke, Chu Guang threw a piece of VM into his hand.

Seeing that he was flattered, let go of the stick in his hand and hurriedly caught VM's wrench, Chu Guang stared at him and continued.

"The training plan will then be sent to your VM, and the drone flying above your head will record your training results. I allow you to use all means, with only one requirement, and that is to keep them alive to complete their daily training tasks. ”

"If you can't do it, it will only prove your incompetence, I won't look for anyone else, only you alone."

"Got it!"

Looking at the manager, the wrench nodded nervously.

"Understood, sir!"

"Ahem."

"Yes! Sir!! ”

Very good.

It's kind of clever.

Glancing at the stick lying on the ground, Chu Guang looked at him and continued.

"Pick up the sticks on the ground. It will be your weapon until you get your gun, and I want you to take it for your life. ”

"Train well, I'll watch you from above."

Looking at the wrench that hurriedly bent down to pick up the stick, Chu Guang threw down this sentence and turned around and walked away in the direction of the outpost.

Soon after he left, he received the wrench of the training plan and immediately beckoned everyone to start training.

But the manager said that the drones were floating in the sky, and he could see exactly what they were doing. In order to avoid punishment, this wrench is also desperate, and he does not dare to relax a little.

To be honest, Chu Guang didn't know much about training.

After all, in the trajectory of his previous life, he also experienced a high school military training and a college entrance military training.

In any case, the intensity of the training is far worse than the serious military training.

However, it doesn't matter, if you haven't eaten pork, you've always seen pigs run, right?

A lot of information can be found by searching on the Internet, and you only need to re-edit it according to the needs and conditions of the wasteland.

For example, running drills, standing in a military position, crawling forward, basic fighting, and bayonet fighting.

If you practice these basic skills, raise your physical fitness, practice discipline, and cultivate your spirit and spirit, it's almost the same.

Chu Guang didn't need them to have strong combat effectiveness, it just needed them to be loyal, loyal, and more loyal!

As for combat, that's the player's job.

After all, no matter how much these survivors trained, it would be unrealistic to win a group of clones who could "awaken" stably and were not afraid of death.

……

Midday.

Quality square in front of the sanatorium.

A group of players gathered here for lunch with bowls in hand, chatting excitedly and discussing.

"Did you notice? We seem to have another batch of NPCs in our outpost? ”

"I saw it too! At the west gate, right? When I went to see, they were contacting the fight bayonet! If you don't understand, just ask, can you bring them with you in a fight in the future? ”

"What do you mean that there are more people, those people at the west gate are the captives we rescued from the dungeon of the Blood Hand Clan before, didn't they say before that in order to repay us for saving our lives, they helped us work in the brick factory."

"Holy? They're them? Well, I'm more face blind, plus my eyesight is not good, and those people don't wash their faces often, so it's not surprising that they don't see it! ”

"Looks like those people have thoroughly joined us, excited! There are more and more NPCs in our outpost! ”

"That guard captain seems to have a VM with him! Can he trigger the mission? Has any of you tried it? ”

"I tried! Just pester him twice to trigger a task to train with them. But one thing to say, that task is quite boring, and it's only 5 copper coins to practice together for an hour! I might as well go to a carpentry hut and rent an axe and chop down a tree!" ”

"You said that if you train with them all day, will you unlock the task of joining the guard?"

"You 484 stupid...... The task of the guard can always be received from the manager, which is the task of standing guard done by the newcomers. ”

"Gan!"

At first, when they first noticed this group of NPCs who suddenly appeared at the west gate, carrying sticks in their hands, many players were full of curiosity about them.

However, this curiosity lasted only for one morning.

As the player discovers that these NPCs are unable to trigger quests or take care of themselves, they gradually lose interest in them and go about their business.

Perhaps, this part of the content planning has not been done yet.

After all, it's the closed beta stage, and it's understandable that the content is a little less!

……

After lunchtime, the players dispersed from the outpost.

The cattle and horses squad, which lost its military division, temporarily disbanded the team.

Lao Bai and Storm went to the brick factory, thinking about how to further increase the output of the brick kiln. And Night Ten went to the lake and studied the skills of throwing the rod and feeding the fish with the anglers for a while.

As for the mole brother, he tearfully took out the 200 silver he had raised, bought the priority exploration right on the second floor of the greenhouse site from the hands of the cattle and horse team, and took the elf king Fugui, Irena and 4 other passers-by teammates, and started a new round of the next round with great momentum.

Whether he can roll this snowball all the way down depends on whether he can knock down the second level within 7 days!

Theoretically, it's not very difficult.

After the previous few battles, the Mole Brother has mastered a wealth of experience in "fighting moths", and has become quite comfortable dealing with these bed bugs.

Having said that, the situation they are facing now is not very rosy.

The main reason for this is that the location of the greenhouse ruins is so awkward, right at the entrance to 76th Street, just around the corner is the fringe dude and his teammates who often hang colors, as well as mutants who are ready to fire cold arrows.

This also means that the Mole and his team members will have to beware of mutant harassment while raiding the dungeon.

After all, there's no guarantee that the mutants won't come to them on their own.

The Mole had heard that the Administrator seemed to be planning to use the first floor of the greenhouse ruins, but since the threat of mutants had not been lifted, the plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

But thankfully, the fringe dude didn't give up, and this guy seemed to be completely on the same page with the mutants, attracting the hatred of the mutants to a certain extent.

After a morning of recuperation, this guy unbelieving once again gathered a group of teammates who were more unbelieving than him, and launched the second round of raids of the day against the mutants.

This time, instead of taking the main road, he walked out of the south gate of the wetland park and followed the street adjacent to 76th Street, through the ruins and into the side of 76th Street.

The sneak attack seemed to have been successful.

The mutants who spread out were completely unaware that a troop had penetrated their flanks.

Caught off guard, a lone mutant archer is shot to death by the surrounding players and has his head cut off.

Distant gunfire and explosions rang out again and continued for a long time.

The clouds of war hung over 76th Street.

Compared to those players who didn't take the danger seriously at all, the nomadic tribe at the east gate was panicked at the moment.

Most of their tribe are old and young, women and children, and some babies have not yet been weaned, and the remaining young and middle-aged combat power is very difficult to deal with ordinary marauders, and they cannot resist the attacks of mutants at all.

However, unlike the frightened clansmen, Wu Tieaxe, who was the head of the clan, was not very worried. Especially after getting the promise of the sect master that he would "not attack without authorization", his mood was even more relaxed.

This suzerain is very kind.

Knowing that there are few men in their tribe, they have no intention of using them as cannon fodder.

As for security, Wu Tieaxe is even less worried.

That man is strong, his subordinates are also strong, just a few mutants, it is simply not their opponent!

This can be seen from the attitude of those mutants.

Those mutants didn't dare to take the initiative at all, and only dared to retreat on 76th Street to set up defenses and ambushes. In Wu Tieaxe's opinion, this is not because those bloodthirsty beasts don't want to fight back, but because they simply don't have the strength to counterattack!

Don't dare to enter the forest at all!

However, out of prudence, Wu Tieaxe still warned his people not to go hunting in the east for the time being, and to go north or south as much as possible.

According to his explorations these days, there are good hunting grounds near the Fifth Ring Road.

There are many ruins of high-rise buildings, some small animals such as squirrels and rabbits are hidden, and many mutant hyenas have also taken refuge in them after winter.

With patience and traps and bait, you can still get some catches once in a while.

As for the north, which is the direction they came from, there is not a lot of prey there. Especially along the section of the road out of the city elevated, there is a long no-man's land.

Wherever there is a source of food or other good stuff in this wasteland, there is no one left without it.

The third floor of the sanatorium.

Chu Guang, who was sitting in a chair, stared at the VM screen, overlooking the [Edge Paddle] group who were fighting and retreating through the drone, and retreated south along the route he had planned.

About twenty minutes ago, Chu Guang had already arranged for twenty heavily armed players to stand by near the extraction point by assigning tasks.

If the mutants chase them out, what awaits them will be a fierce head-on blow!

In other words, is this a micro-?

I don't think so.

At this time, Xiao Qi, who was squatting by the window, suddenly turned the camera, looked at Chu Guang who was sitting in a chair and said.

"Master, Xiaoqi feels like it's going to change."

"Changing the sky?" Chu Guang glanced up at the snow outside the window, and then looked at Xiao Qi with a strange expression, "How else can this ghost weather change?" ”

Can it be lowered by another ten degrees?

Xiao Qi shook the camera and whispered.

"Xiao Qi doesn't know, but I feel that the speed of the clouds is a little fast."

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

Just when the conflict between Vault 404 and the mutants was heating up, a group of uninvited guests appeared near the viaduct and bridge in the northern part of the wetland park......
