Chapter 163: Heading for the Wilderness!
Letter:
"My dear friend Bucky, I have to tell you the good news that with the generosity of our allies, we have managed to repair the broken parts and will be back on the road soon!"
"I remember the last time I wrote to you half a month ago, and the reason why I haven't heard from you for so long is not because I forgot about you, but because I was sent on a very important mission to serve as a liaison with our allies...... It's a key job, you can think of it as a diplomat, there's a lot of socializing, but it's not annoying. ”
"I remember you told me that you wanted to go beyond that towering wall, to the outside world, to see the mountains and lakes in the distance, to see the endless deserts and swamps, to climb over the snowy mountains and jungles, to find the lost relics. I remember you telling me that you were tired of the boring life, and that you were very envious of me for being able to find a group of like-minded companions, leave the world, and go deep into the wilderness occupied by chaos and savagery. ”
"I mean, since that's the case...... Why not give it a try? The road is at your feet. And as I write this, we have already traveled thousands of kilometers and will soon be going further. ”
"If you can't find the direction, I solemnly recommend to you, the partner we met in Qingquan City. They are a group of hardworking, brave, and optimistic people living in Vault 404. They have an impressive culture and every day with them is so pleasant. ”
"It's a good place to go, and when you get there, you'll understand why I said that."
aboard the Trailblazer.
Lying in a comfortable single room, Luo Hua with the back of his head resting on his arms, facing the holographic window suspended in front of him, dictated the contents of the letter.
Speaking of which, he has been away from home for more than a year.
The crowded and noisy environment that I hated before, now I think back on it, and I miss it strangely.
"I'll write one to my dad in a while."
Luo Hua sighed softly, and was about to send it, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to write the payment, so he slid his index finger hanging next to the holographic window and made up the line of words.
"—your dear friend, Luo Hua."
……
Two days later.
An ordinary morning.
There was no grand ceremony, as if it had reached the point, and the steel fortress crawling on the wilderness unfolded a steel structure like a gantry crane to both sides.
The mechanical spiral arm lowered from the ceiling is like a hand, picking up the modular production cells that had been deployed in the open space one by one and putting them back on the back.
This incredible scene happened to it as naturally as breathing.
Stand in front of the porthole of the office.
Looking at the slowly rising production module outside the window, Li De had a hesitant expression on his face.
"It's finally time to get back on the road."
He had waited too long for this moment.
"yes, we've been here for half a month."
Standing behind Section Chief Li, although Wang Jie expressed his agreement, his mood was full of complexity.
On the one hand, he wanted to stay here for a few more days.
On the other hand, however, his pockets were almost cleaner than his face.
In fact, he wasn't the only one who had similar troubles, since a watermill driver came back with a bag of buns, their pockets seemed to be magical.
Fortunately, you can't swipe your card here, and a large part of their salary is directly credited to the card, otherwise I'm afraid you will have to put your deposit in......
If Wang Jie is just annoyed, then Section Chief Li, who is standing in front of him at this moment, is a complete headache.
In just half a month's effort, those blue coats actually earned a full 210,000 CR from their hands!
Li De deeply reviewed his mistakes in decision-making.
When he signed the labor contract, he didn't think that these blue coats would come to his door to do business, and he didn't expect that these poor and white blue coats would really make a lot of money from them.
Therefore, when pricing the trading goods, Li De only referred to the most basic salary expenses, and estimated that he would spend 2,000CR per day, and spend up to 50,000 or 60,000 yuan before departure.
It's something that can't be helped.
Who would have thought that those people were engaged in value-added services and business, and they were stunned to make his budget exceed by an order of magnitude.
The goods on those lists shouldn't be sold to them at cost!
Of course, Li De thought about it afterwards and felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing.
Although it was earned 210,000 CR, a wave of rational analysis shows that the trade deficit is actually still 0. The money that was earned, Chu Guang finally got it to him and spent it.
The money spun around and eventually flowed back to the Trailblazer. Now the financial situation of the logistics department is abundant, and the refrigerator in the canteen is stuffed with buns, dumplings, and wontons made of blue coats...... And so on a whole bunch of morale-boosting delicacies.
If you look at it this way......
It's not a complete loss?
Taking a sip of fragrant coffee, Li De looked out of the porthole and said slowly.
"Speaking of which, they all bought something from us."
Wang Jie replied: "Some metallic hydrogen batteries and exoskeletons...... He replaced the rest with seeds for grain and crops. ”
The exoskeleton is easy to understand, and in the absence of power armor, it is the perfect replacement.
It's just this metallic hydrogen battery......
Li De asked strangely: "What do they want metal hydrogen batteries for?" ”
Wang Jie was also confused: "I don't know...... Maybe you're planning to make an exoskeleton or a drone? ”
Li De: "......"
What technology do they have?
It's amazing!
……
The outpost certainly doesn't have that technology, but there will always be one later.
Just as the Pioneer was packing his luggage, Chu Guangzheng, accompanied by old Luca, was counting the "wool" in the warehouse of the operation camp.
A total of 213,420CR, excluding the pension of 117,000CR, is 96,420CR.
What is the concept of 96,000 CR?
Equivalent to an average per day, his small players have generated an income of 9000CR for him. And at least half of this is earned through trade other than labor dispatch.
Such an astonishing surplus, not to mention wool, the sheepskin is about to be swept off by his little players!
Excluding the 10,000CR consumed to change Boss Xia's legs, there are still 203,420CR left.
This hard-won huge amount of money, but his little players paid countless sweats - even blood in exchange, Chu Guang naturally couldn't squander it at will.
After some careful consideration, Chu Guang first took out 100,000 CR of them and purchased 50 common models of metallic hydrogen batteries - an average of 2000CR.
As for why you should buy batteries, the reason is simple, this thing is the most cost-effective, and it is difficult to buy in Qingquan City.
According to Chu Guang's research on the KV-1 exoskeleton produced by Boulder City, the only thing that can be called a black technology in the entire exoskeleton is a solid-state hydrogen battery.
As for the mechanical structure and engineering design, although there are some commendable points, they are not good enough to make people amazed.
The energy density of the metal hydrogen battery produced by the company is a step higher than that of the general solid-state hydrogen battery.
This thing is a real black technology, whether it is used to make a drone or an exoskeleton, it is very reliable. Even if you buy a bunch of KV-1 directly and change it to a battery, it can improve its endurance a lot.
The price of the 2000CR is definitely cheap!
Chu Guang estimated that in the generation of Qingquan City, this kind of good thing that can be used as a strategic reserve has to be sold for 4000CR or exchanged for goods of equivalent value to be reasonable.
It cost 100,000 CR to buy a battery, and there is 103,420CR left.
After some weighing, Chu Guang took out half of it and exchanged it for grain and seeds from some pre-war crops, and the remaining half was used to buy 10 sets of "Miner Type I exoskeletons" worth 5000CR.
As for this exoskeleton, just by hearing the name, you can tell what it's used for.
It doesn't matter, though.
The KV-1 is still used to move bricks, and it is welded with steel bars and steel plates, and it can also be used as pseudo-power armor.
In particular, the design of this Miner I-type exoskeleton is much better than the junk goods bought in Boulder City.
Not to mention anything else, the metallic hydrogen battery it carries alone is more than half a point stronger than the KV-1. Its excellent electronic control system and motor design not only ensure long battery life, but also provide it with stronger and more stable power output. If the magic changes, it can theoretically weld thicker and heavier armor!
In the enterprise, the "Miner Type I Exoskeleton" is regarded as an E-class trading variety, and it is also the most advanced one that Chuguang can buy under the mechanical exoskeleton entry.
Of course, this exoskeleton is not without its drawbacks.
Metallic hydrogen is 35 times more powerful than conventional explosives, and the detonation speed is far greater than that of Hesokin, which theoretically only takes 1L to knock out a main battle tank. Therefore, in the later Type II and Type III, the company changed the metallic hydrogen back to a slightly safer solid-state hydrogen battery, and the export control was also lowered to Class F trading goods.
Interestingly, though, even though Type II and Type III are safer, the best-selling one in the wasteland is still the Original.
Even though Werther and Chu Guang strongly recommended buying the safer Type II, Chu Guang did not hesitate to stick to his idea.
"With these things, I don't think I need to sell my old armor......"
Looking at the few exoskeletons in the warehouse that were quite industrial-style, Chu Guang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. But he only thought about it for less than three seconds before making a decision.
"Forget it, let's sell it."
"It's time to give out perks to players."
After all, it was the armor used by the manager, and Chu Guang decided to use the auction to determine its ownership. Only the most diligent players can own this armor engraved with honor!
Well, when you get back, you'll have to get two more scratches on its front armor.
As for the "Miner Type I Exoskeleton", Chu Guang intends to stipulate that it can only be purchased if it reaches the citizen level, and each account is limited to one unit, which is automatically bound after purchase and cannot be traded to players or neutral NPCs. If you don't want it, you can only dispose of it in a designated warehouse or weapon store.
Considering that the import price is as high as 5000CR, the price of 5000 silver coins should be more reasonable.
But at this price, his little players are afraid that they will have to save up until next year to afford it.
"Let's sell it for 2,000 silver coins...... And you have to add another threshold, not only to ask for citizens, but also to reach level 10 to buy! ”
Throwing equipment in the warehouse and eating ashes is what the old leech does.
As long as the equipment can be successfully installed by highly active combat professional players, whether they are carrying equipment to move bricks, scavenging, hunting or other things, it is the choice to maximize the benefits for Chu Guang.
Basically, unless it happens to be an intelligence department, it is difficult to quickly upgrade a life career in the early stage.
One of the most typical representatives is the mosquito, because the gene sequence is agile, and often stays in his workshop, he rarely goes out to do tasks, and the level is only a pitiful LV5. The tomato scrambled eggs that entered the game with him, there was LV6 before the expansion was opened, and now it is faster LV7, and it is already a mature physique tank.
Asked Old Luca to arrange a truck to transport some of the goods back to the outpost, and Chu Guang, who walked out of the warehouse, glanced at the Pioneer who was busy packing outside the camp, his eyes were full of reluctance.
It would be nice if they stayed a few more days.
Popcorn has just become popular on the Trailblazer, and it's a shame that it hasn't sold much......
……
Ten minutes to deploy, one hour to call it a day.
By 8 a.m., the Trailblazer had finally finished packing.
However, this steel giant beast did not take everything with it, such as the operation camp about a hundred meters away from it, which was kept intact.
Not only that, but in the time after the encounter with the Legion, the Pioneer also helped the local Vault residents to reinforce the camp.
The current operation camp not only has a three-meter-high reinforced concrete wall, but also a five-meter-high trapezoidal turret sits at the four corners of the camp.
In addition, 300 tons of cement that had not had time to be used were also left in the camp by the crew of the Trailblazer.
Together with those materials that Chu Guang bought with CR, they were placed in different warehouses.
“…… This is a little bit of our heart, and we hope they can help you. ”
Captain Lu Yang, dressed in power armor, walked up to Chu Guang and the rest of the shelter residents and lifted the mask of his helmet.
Chu Guang looked at him and said in a solemn tone.
"Thank you, you have helped us so much, I will remember this favor."
To be honest, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Chu Guang rarely revealed his heart to others.
But this statement is absolutely sincere.
It always felt that such a serious expression was rare on this friend's face, but Captain Luyan didn't pay much attention to it and smiled heartily.
"Don't be so polite, you have also helped us a lot. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to get back on the road so quickly. ”
After a pause, the hearty smile suddenly became a little melancholy.
"Goodbye, my friend. If all goes well, we'll see you again! ”
At that time, he will triumph with victory.
Chu Guang nodded.
"It will be, may you have a victorious start and a worry-free journey."
"Lend you good words!"
Flicked his fist, and as a final goodbye, Lu Yang, who had left in style, waved his hand and stood on the elevator leading to the steel fortress.
This is the last shift.
The elevator rose slowly, and the hatch closed heavily.
The earth shook slightly, making a dull sound, and the magnificent land-traveling fortress moved, driven by fusion energy.
The steel tracks moved forward slowly but firmly, cutting over the snow-covered and icy branches, and finally blending into the winter morning mist with the majestic figure, leaving only a dozen rut marks like ravines.
This eye-popping scene made the eyes of the players standing at the gate of the action camp widen in surprise, and their eyes seemed to be glued to the fortress that was no longer visible.
"Gone?"
"Awesome, this fortress can really move! I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of the game's physics engine! ”
"A wave of rational analysis, nuclear fusion is indeed possible...... Of course, the material is probably not ordinary steel, otherwise it will not be able to bear its huge weight. ”
"Okay, okay, don't analyze it, I want to know now, is this expansion over?"
"Probably? Since yesterday, the task of scavenging in the northern towns has been gone, so you haven't paid attention to the VM. ”
"Wait a minute, are there more than a hundred non-chieftains who haven't been resurrected?"
"Gan, this operator is too doggy. If you can't fix the bug, you can turn off the expansion pack! ”
"Hahahaha, one word, absolutely!"
Listening to the chatter of the little players, Chu Guang smiled faintly.
Retracting his gaze from the fortress that had disappeared into the distance, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and swiped it lightly on the VM.
The pre-edited server announcement was immediately sent to each player's VM and official website.
[Full Server Announcement: The Prosperity of the Action Camp has reached 100 points, and it has grown into a survivor stronghold, and is now renamed "Long-term Farm".] 】
[Serverwide Announcement: The "Land Fortress" expansion has come to a successful conclusion, and players who have been locked and logged in and cannot be resurrected can now log in to the game normally. 】
[Announcement: 100 new newcomers have logged in to the game in version 0.8, let's welcome them!] 】
