The northern part of Linghu Wetland Park.

An abandoned tire factory nestled in ruins.

It used to be the nest of the BloodHand Clan, but with the fall of the BloodHand Clan, it was once overrun by cockroaches and rats.

Recently, the structurally intact building has been repurposed due to the expansion of the area where the residents of Vault 404 live.

Thanks to the efforts of countless new players, the xenos who nested in the area were all banished, and the NPCs set up guard posts in the surrounding high-rise buildings. Today, it has become an outpost in the northern industrial area, and all the light and heavy industries that were originally crowded on the south side of the sanatorium have been relocated here.

This includes the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, where Cobain was born.

It also includes the goblin technology born in the wild road.

Although the generous administrator finally agreed to keep his hut on the south side of the outpost, the production of chemicals, flammables and explosives had to be moved from the vicinity of the resurrection point to this place.

It's not that Chu Guang is targeting him, it's mainly that there are too many people complaining.

This guy randomly tested weapons in the forest outside the base, either scaring away the fish in the lake or accidentally igniting the pine and cypress trees outside the base. In the past month or so, someone has found Chu Guang more than once to protest, hoping that he can restrain the behavior of mosquitoes a little.

Chu Guang believed that Brother Mosquito didn't do this intentionally, but let him continue to toss like this, to be honest, Chu Guang himself was a little empty in his heart.

These problems do not exist on the site of the old tire factory. First of all, it was a full 5 kilometers away from the outpost, and it was an abandoned uninhabited city in the north, south, east, and west.

There are enough xenomorphs there that can be used to test the power of the weapon.

From now on, Brother Mosquito will no longer have to risk being thrown into the lake by angry anglers and secretly fire rockets on the surface of the lake!

All in all, under the planning of the wise and martial arts administrators, the Northern Industrial Zone will use steel and coal as the pillar industries, producing seamless steel pipes, bullets, stamping casings, and other manufacturing products of various calibers, and players will be encouraged to get creative and build more cheap and useful things on this basis.

Marauders' dens are usually few scavengers, and the area is rich in recyclable resources, so even if you occasionally run out of stock, you can hire scavengers to source local materials.

The most important thing is that it is close to the elevated highway out of the city, as long as the obstacles on the road and the vegetation along the way are cleared, and the road surface is slightly repaired, the truck can even drive directly to the factory gate along the auxiliary road under the elevated!

In terms of transportation and resources, this place is much stronger than the outpost located in the wetland park.

It's a boon for industrial stream players!

The "truck-in" plant, which used to be hung with air-dried meat of unknown composition, has been transformed into the new site of the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

A circular hole was carved into the top of the factory, and a red brick chimney rose high through the hole.

It's like a torch.

On the ruins of this civilization, a small but determined light is ignited

……

Inside the building of the No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

The blast furnace was filled with hot molten iron.

The hot neck was covered with sweat, Li Niu unbuttoned all the buttons of his coat, and fanned his palms into his neck with air.

"Today's fire feels twice as strong as yesterday's, is it my delusion?"

If it weren't for the two VM-wearing foremen, he would have even wanted to take off the steel helmet with a wool lining on his head.

Standing next to him was a neighbor in the same town, Wu Dahe of the old Wu family next door. Their family worked as a blacksmith, but there was little business in the winter, and there were few opportunities to open their businesses.

Before recruiting workers, the two sons of the old Wu family came in. The eldest one did the same work as him, and at the same time did some miscellaneous work, while the younger one was selected to be a stick tie worker, operating the stick under the guidance of the blue coat to perform hot tie. Occasionally, you need to hammer and hit some small pieces, but this is not the case.

The foreman said that a new batch of funds had arrived in the factory, and the director planned to add boron to the blast furnace to try to make No. 50B steel...... It is said to be used to make a cannon barrel. ”

Li Niu looked curious.

"What is boron?"

Wu Dahe took out a small stone from his pocket, shook it in front of him, and took it back.

"It is said that this small black stone can greatly increase the strength of steel by adding only a small amount, but the amount must be controlled and not too much at all...... I don't really understand it, anyway, this kind of complicated thing, the blue coats will take care of it, just do what they say. ”

Li Niu nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again after a while.

"What is 50B steel?"

Wu Dahe shook his head into a rattle and repeated the sentence just now.

"I don't know, just do what they say anyway."

Li Niu was speechless.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he wrote it down as an experience in his heart.

With boron, steel will be more durable, but only a little, not too much.

Soon, however, other confusions arose in his mind.

But how much exactly?

Also, is the steel here all steel okay?

Or is it limited to a few?

After all, the method of steelmaking in the factory is very strange, sometimes tungsten is added, sometimes chromium and nickel are added, and sometimes silicon is added. And depending on the material, the use of steel is also different. Some are sent for gun barrels, some are used for receivers, and some are used for bicycle frames.

The blacksmiths of Bate Street were not so troublesome in striking iron, at most they were mixed with a little carbon, and the forged tools were just as good as the tools, strong and durable.

I've heard that clever blacksmiths also specialize in recycling steel from discarded car frames, especially the ones parked in indoor garages.

The steel that is forged from the furnace will be much more durable than ordinary steel.

Li Niu was not a blacksmith, and before coming here, he was just a scavenger living in Bate Street, and occasionally followed the Yu family's second son, Yu Hu, out hunting, because he could always find a wild boar's nest...... Although he himself could not say why.

As for why it's here.

That's a long story.

A week ago, when the outpost industrial area was relocated, old Charlie posted a notice in the square, asking for the recruitment of 5~10 able-bodied workers aged 16~35 to help, not only to take care of two meals, but also to pay 1 silver coin salary every day.

At the street office shop on Bate Street, 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of barley or croissant, and 50g of salt.

Where do you usually encounter such good things?

On such a cold day, there was nothing to do, and when he heard that he could save some food for his family, Li Niu signed up without saying a word.

As for whether it is chips or silver coins, not many people care lately.

The caravans of Boulder City hadn't been here since the beginning of winter, and for the survivors here, what they could get in exchange for food and use was money.

The relocation of the factory is not very laborious, you only need to transport some large and small things out of the forest on a trailer, load the truck at the north gate of the park, and then follow the truck to the abandoned tire factory in the north, and unload the things under the command of the foreman.

The abandoned tire factory used to be the stronghold of the Bloody Hand Clan, and many residents of Bate Street were afraid to approach it, but Li Niu was not afraid.

The Bloody Hand Clan has been wiped out, and the banner of Vault 404 flutters on the roof of the factory.

He often followed Yu Hu to the outpost to visit the door, and he knew very well that those blue coats were very good people.

And it was true, the relocation lasted for three whole days, and not only did I have meat, but I also had enough to eat.

If it weren't for the fact that the work was done, Li Niu would even want to stay here forever.

It was also at that time that the foreman of the steel mill came out and threw an olive branch to them.

No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant plans to recruit a group of contract workers, with a monthly salary of 60 silver coins, and food and housing are in the factory. There are 4 days off every month, which day off can be set by yourself, and you can get a commission for a good job.

In addition to age, there are two requirements for recruitment, one is strong and the other is literacy...... Literacy is preferred.

According to the foreman, the factory would set up night literacy classes and organize workers to learn to write, count and draw, but because they had to sign a contract, they had to at least be able to write their own names before they could sign up, and no one else was allowed to write it for them.

That was the first time in Li Niu's life that he realized what a great thing it is to be educated.

He had attended Charlie Sr.'s night school literacy class before, and although he hadn't been there a few times, he had written his name anyway.

Those whose names have three words suffer a bit of a loss, either they can only write two, or they hold back for a long time and write a surname.

Fifteen people were left behind, and the foreman gave them hard hats and warm fur jackets, arranged dormitories for them, and told them that from now on they were workers at the No. 81 steel plant.

As long as you work hard, you can settle down with your family in the future.

Li Niu didn't think about things so far, and his current life was enough to make him happy.

Wearing fur clothes issued by the factory, he even felt a little hot standing in the factory, and every time he changed shifts, he would go out to blow the cold wind for a while.

This wonderful life is something he couldn't have imagined before!

Looking at the molten iron in the blast furnace, Li Niu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yu Hu's kid always doesn't have to study, I have to find a way to persuade him......"

The release time is over.

With the molten iron in the blast furnace, the projected temperature is reached

Under the instructions of the foreman, Li Niu and another worker worked together to manipulate the rocker to move the suspended blast furnace to the mold and pour it, forming a stick-shaped billet.

Motor start.

The rollers under the billet begin to work,

Transported by a row of rollers, the billets in the shape of sticks are fed to the perforator, where they are stamped and drilled by special high-temperature resistant drill bits.

"The temperature of the billet drops too quickly."

"Indeed...... I have to think of a way to bring out the hot stamping technology, and stamping it directly in the mold to keep the quenching state. ”

"Can this barrel be a little thinner? Either the barrel is too heavy, there is no mobility at all, and it consumes materials. ”

"Try your best, such a large caliber, I'm afraid that it will blow up when it's too thin."

Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levine, who were standing in front of the production equipment, pointed at the equipment at work, muttering and whispering to each other.

As for why they are so motivated?

Because just this morning, they who had just gone online suddenly received a research and development fund of 5,500 silver coins!

Perhaps because the managers were moved by their diligence, from now on, as long as the research and development of new equipment is declared in accordance with the process, you can get the support of special funds, and you no longer have to generate electricity for love, and you can advance money for research and development!

In addition to solving their immediate needs, the esteemed administrator also allocated them two hibernation pods as a reward for their hard work.

This hibernation pod is a good thing!

In the future, they don't have to avoid the difficult place, and they can go on and off the assembly line directly in the factory.

If you let other players know, you'll be crazy with jealousy!

Happiness came too suddenly.

However, Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levin were not stunned by this sudden happiness.

They knew all too well about the lemon essence on the forum, and if they knew that they had gained so much benefit, they would definitely shout for another cut.

Therefore, the two of them made a lot of money in a very low-key silence, spending money to hire scavengers to recycle good steel and good materials from the wasteland, renting machine tools in the shelter to cut the parts needed, and making every effort to increase the production capacity of the steel plant, and secretly making the steel industry bigger and stronger.

They decided to show some real skills to these cloud players who can only lemon and shout "I can do it too".

What is a real war machine!

What I'm on, I really can't do it!

……

】

On the fourth day of the new version, production was in full swing in the northern industrial area of the outpost.

And at this moment, the B3 floor of the shelter below the base is also bustling and lively.

The helmet was finally activated, and three hundred players entered the game at the same time, and under the guidance of the broadcast, they came to the plaza in the center of the floor, blocking the lobby in front of the elevator tower on the B3 floor.

"There are a lot of newcomers this time!"

"And the quality seems to be good, there is a little less fuss than last time!"

"Very good, it seems that the threshold for making an appointment to answer the question has been upgraded again."

"By the way, have you seen the Emperor of Europe who drew a different unit?"

"Not yet, the manager hasn't even started to speak, eighty percent of the people haven't arrived yet, they should still be rubbing in the room, waiting and seeing!"

Standing in the corner of the square, the spring water commander looked for the crowd, looking for potential stocks among the newcomers, ready to start "spreading the fire" as soon as the manager finished speaking.

Although he doesn't want to start training as a newcomer, he can't help it, his two teammates are too pitiful!

One [I'm the blackest], one [Battlefield Atmosphere Group], a group of people who fight monsters, always let him not talk about the top of the intelligence department, and always think about his equipment.

In order to advance to the T0 echelon, the spring commander decided to train a few obedient and easy-to-use new platoons.

It's best to have a relatively rigid strength system, or a physique system that can carry it is also good.

It's even better if it's a xenomorph player like Roshan Da Bun!

After all, there are people in front of you, and only those wearing "pseudo-power armor" can have an output environment.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw a young player who had just walked into the hall, groping his hands overwhelmed.

Her nickname is Sesame Paste.

For some reason, her game character is a little different from the others.

A pair of furry animal ears came out of their hair, replacing human ears and looking like some kind of headdress.

"Huh? Why do I have ears on the top of my head? ”

"Didn't you notice when you were in the room?"

"I don't know, there's no mirror in the room, I thought my hair was up." The expression on his face that couldn't be laughed or crying couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise.

Does this count as SSSR?

But it doesn't seem to have any stat bonuses......

The players around him were excited.

Is this testing the Krypton skin?

OK.

It seems that there is hope for the open beta!!

The tail's eyes sparkled: "Cat ears!" Damn, there are more and more European emperors! ”

Siss: "Oh, he's got more xenomorph friends. ”

Tail: "Si! Spread the fire! ”

Siss: "Oh, rush! ”

A wave did not settle, another wave rose, and soon there was another commotion in the crowd.

Only this time it wasn't a surprise, but a fright.

"Yay! Xenogene! ”

"Gan! How are there rats here! ”

"Call the guards!"

"Fetch my spear!"

The first to be taken aback were the players at the edge of the square, and the commotion spread through the crowd.

"I'm not a rat...... Gan! Lao Tzu is a player, okay? ”

Looking at the people running away from him, the little player in the center of the crowd - or rat man - couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Is this an SSSR?

Right?

However, the price is a little worse, and the right to choose a mate is lost in situ.

While he's happy with his look, other players, especially the female ones, don't seem to think so.

After waiting for a long time, none of them came up and none of them.

Gan!

This bunch of Yan dogs!

Is it so real?

Chu Guang, who was standing in front of the elevator tower, was also puzzled.

Forget about cat ears......

Eighty percent is the bad taste of the first generation of managers.

What the hell is this rat about a meter tall?

Before the tank was opened, he couldn't see the specific data of the clones in the culture cabin, so this kind of "summoning accident" also happened from time to time.

【

ID: It's hard to be strong

Gene sequence: Xenomorph, nezumi

Grade: LV.0

——Basic Attributes——

Strength: 3

Dexterity: 3

Constitution: 3

Perceptual: 5

Intelligence: 3

】

【

Talent:

Rapid synthesis: The active material consumption of synthetic clones is reduced to 50% of the standard value, and the synthesis time is reduced to 24 hours.

Iron stomach: a strong digestive system that is able to adapt to rotten food.

】

Open the system and go to the player list.

Looking at the latest scan data of the player's cultivation pod, a look of interest appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"There is no debuff that calluses and feet and difficulty in increasing the level of the sequence."

However, in contrast, the panel data of the rat man is very weak, except for the perception is 5, the other attributes are only 3, which is equivalent to 60% of the normal adult male.

"The primary attribute should be perception."

Chu Guang originally thought that at least the agility attribute would be a little higher, but he didn't expect it to be the case.

The only advantage of this gene sequence is probably the buff provided by [Rapid Synthesis] and [Iron Stomach].

"The resurrection cost of 0.5 units of active substance, and the synthesis time of 24 hours...... This is a bit of a. ”

"And the talent of the iron stomach...... If you can overcome the psychological barrier, you should be able to save food. ”

In addition, there is probably an advantage that it is smaller and can easily move through the ruins.

As for the shortcomings of the panel properties...... If the first awakening can't fill this hole, I'm afraid I can only rely on mechanical transformation.

Or take the route of biological and drug fortification?

For some reason, Chu Guang remembered the Skaven in Warhammer.

The plague army that spreads across the mountains is a nightmare for the human empire.

However, it is a pity.

The nezumi here is an orphan......

Chu Guang thought in his heart, if he didn't give this guy a "hidden career mission", upgrade to the third level and send him a training cabin, and let him out to fight in the jungle.

As for the little player who grew cat ears, to Chu Guang's surprise, her genetic sequence did not have a xenomorph prefix, and she was an ordinary agility player.

The only difference is the talent column -

[Beast Ears: I originally planned to create a leopard man, but it was an accident that only the ears were partially explicit. But aside from the fact that it may not be convenient to make a phone call, it doesn't seem to hurt, and it's up to you, the first manager. 】

Chu Guang: ......

This line of instructions doesn't fit well in the player's stat bar, so let's change it later.

Standing next to Chu Guang, Yin Fang's eyes stared directly at the mouse that spoke human words, and he held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say.

"Before the war...... Whether it is the implantation of a fragment of DNA from an animal into a human embryo or the transplantation of a fragment of human DNA into an animal, it is a contraindication within a taboo. How did the people who invented this technology come up with these things without anyone discovering them and without any outside funding? ”

Oh, yes.

How did he do it?

Chu Guang was also curious about this question.

Including the form-forming field that even the "former Academy D-class explorers" had never heard of.

"I guess I got it in the Vault."

Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression.

"Are you kidding? In a shelter? Just rely on that half-baked medical laboratory? ”

Chu Guang's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin thoughtfully.

"It's an interesting idea, and it's possible."

To be honest, he didn't find it strange to create species.

Aren't mutants an example?

To borrow the words of an employee at a company with a terrible amount of alcohol, it's no surprise that out-of-control technology is flooding the land.

Yin Fang: "......"

Unlike Yin Fang's surprise at the background of the technology's research and development, Heya, who was standing on the other side of Chu Guang, was shocked by the fact that "mice can actually speak".

Although it was a language she didn't understand at all, she could be sure it was talking!

It's incredible!

"Bears, lizards, and rats with human minds...... How, exactly? ”

Suddenly, Heya looked at Chu Guang eagerly, crossed her hands, and said in prayer.

"Can you give me some samples? No tissue slices are needed, a little blood is enough! ”

"I've licensed the DNA data of the inhabitants of the Vault to you, and you can view it on the terminal in the infirmary."

Although Chu Guang didn't expect her to crack the secrets hidden in the genetic sequence, it was not bad as a project that was carried out in parallel with xenomorph research.

After all, there are only a few xenos active in the northern suburbs, and his players don't always get new samples.

Hea said excitedly.

"Already done collecting? That's great! ”

If it weren't for the crowd blocking the road, she would have been eager to rush into the lab right now.

Yin Fang, who was standing aside, pinched his eyebrows.

Is it a delusion?

He always felt that no one in the entire vault was normal except for himself......
