The lone wolf studied for a long time and didn't figure out how this machine could achieve more than 60 horsepower.

It's not that the mechanics are too complicated.

Or even the opposite, but because it was "too simple", so simple that he couldn't help but wonder if the game's production team was lazy.

In fact, the principle of the pot camel machine is not difficult, in essence, it is nothing more than boiling water, and the piston movement drives the crankshaft to rotate and then drive the flywheel to output power outward.

Referring to the engine, ignoring the cost performance, it is actually easy to simply want to increase the power. Increasing the cylinder volume, increasing the number of cylinders, or increasing the pressure in the cylinder can be used.

However, what confused the lone wolf was that the pot camel machine in front of him was actually a single-cylinder!

Sixty horsepower on a single-cylinder pot camel machine?

That's no kidding.

The lone wolf said suddenly.

"What is the maximum horsepower of a single-cylinder diesel engine?"

Hearing the young professor's question, Brother Levin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied.

"I've heard of 30 horses."

Brother Toilet also said, "I remember that there were 35 horses. ”

The lone wolf nodded.

"Almost."

In his impression, there seemed to be 40 or 45 horses, but they were not common, and the more common ones were actually about 40 horses.

Agricultural tools simply don't use so much horsepower, and it is impossible to use pot camel machines for large-scale equipment with hundreds of horses.

A single-cylinder pot camel machine can actually reach 60 horsepower?

And the weight is only five hundred kilograms?

The lone wolf couldn't help but shake his head.

"I've never seen anything so outrageous."

Brother Toilet Suo said with a smile.

"It's the first time I've seen it, too."

Brother Levine said, scratching his head.

"I don't understand, I didn't understand the light truck that dismantled the legion before, the design ideas are actually similar, why the horsepower of their power equipment is a little larger than our imitation."

Picking up a belt, the lone wolf held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly muttered to himself.

“…… What is it? ”

Brother Levine was stunned.

"This ...... It's the engine belt, right? ”

Brother Toilet Suo also nodded.

"I think so."

This is nonsense.

Of course, the lone wolf knew that the thing in his hand was a belt, but he couldn't tell what it was made of.

"It's not like neoprene......"

It's a pity that he is neither an expert in materials science nor an expert in engines, but because he is studying automation design, he knows a little about these areas.

"Not only belts, but also gaskets, hoses, and O-rings...... All the rubber parts are made of materials I haven't seen before, is it an overhead setting? ”

The lone wolf tapped the outer shell of the cylinder with a wrench, and listened to the sonorous echo, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

"? This shouldn't be on titanium aluminum alloy, right? ”

Not quite like that.

But probably something similar.

The more the lone wolf studied, the more surprised he became.

The game production team is quite clever, and directly overhauled some materials that he had never seen before, and the design that was impossible to achieve in reality, he can't say that this is completely unreasonable.

The three pillars of modern science and technology can be summarized as energy, materials, and information. It's like there are many people who understand IC design, but not everyone can make chips.

The game production team did not give a solution, but only gave a general direction, and the deeper he dug, the more surprised he became.

He finally understood now why that guy was so obsessed with this game.

"Something!"

Looking at the lone wolf standing next to the machine muttering, Brother Levin and Brother Toilet Suo glanced at each other, and their faces invariably showed strange expressions.

"Shall we remind him that this is the game? Maybe what he couldn't figure out was just a line of code from Brother Guang. ”

Although they are sometimes more serious, they are far from this paranoia.

Brother Toilet scratched the back of his head.

"Well, let's wait for him to understand."

It's new.

Also normal.

When everyone first came, there were many things that they didn't understand, and the old man who stayed under the knife until a month ago, was still thinking about what kind of cement was used for those houses on the wasteland, and it hadn't collapsed for two hundred years, and then it was slowly no longer strange.

Anyway, there are seven more of the same pot camel machine here.

That's enough for them to keep busy for a while.

“……”

Two full days had passed since the caravan departed.

The two tons of spirit leaves had already been sent to Giant Stone City, and Chu Guang learned from Shuyu that Liszt had already paid all of his 100,000 chips.

Seeing that the spirit leaf is indeed a hot commodity in Boulder City, almost as soon as it was shipped to the warehouse, the buyer came to the door with chips.

In order to facilitate the transaction, Shuyu opened an account in the Bank of Jushi City according to Chu Guang's instructions, and the huge amount of 100,000 chips will be completed in the form of a transfer transaction.

This will be much safer than in a safe.

In addition, the owner of the gray squirrel clothing store recently came to the door to buy another batch of art, and said that it would be nice if the quality of those socks could be slightly worse.

"Poor quality?"

On the phone, after listening to Shuyu's report, Chu Guang said with a strange expression, "I have never heard such a strange request." ”

Shuyu: "I think it's strange too...... But he didn't tell me why, just asked us to figure out a way. ”

"Well, it's actually easy to say that the production of devil silk is limited, and we originally planned to develop some alternatives for the sinking market." After a pause, Chu Guang continued to ask, "By the way, how is the recruitment of personnel going?" ”

Shuyu: "According to your orders, I have recruited twenty-three employees to serve in field and internal positions. I offered them a salary of 40 chips per month for two months of internship and 100 chips per month after they became regular. ”

With 2,300 chips for salaries, 800 per month for rent, and a budget of 400 chips, the office has spent 3,500 chips per month.

That's not a small amount.

In exchange for arms, you can buy nearly thirty rifles.

Sure enough, we still have to find a way to open up a few more ways to make money.

"Have you sorted out your employees' resumes?"

Shuyu: "It's been sorted out!" ”

Chu Guang said immediately.

"Send it to me."

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the resume from Shuyu, Chu Guang glanced at it briefly.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a resume in the talent market in Boulder City, and these personal profiles with photos are just Chu Guang instructed Shuyu to make a simple record of the situation of the recruited personnel during the interview.

For example, asking what the other party did before, what special skills they have, and combining all the information asked after taking the record can effectively screen out those dishonest interviewers.

To Chu Guang's surprise, there were actually many people who had worked in factories in Giant Stone City, and one of their resumes made his eyes shine.

"I used to work as a workshop director at the Boulder City Iron and Steel Plant...... Is the information on these resumes credible? ”

It's really condescending for such a talent to work in the back office.

Although he is a little older in his 40s, it is not a problem at all in Chu Guang's opinion.

Shuyu said cautiously: "This ...... There is no way to verify it, and the information on the resume can only be used as a reference. However, he gave me the impression that he has a lot of experience in management. ”

Chu Guang nodded and continued.

"You can ask him for me if he is interested in working in a steel factory in the northern suburbs, and his salary can be three times the original one."

Shuyu said seriously.

"I'll help you ask, but...... From what I've observed, these locals are quite resistant to leaving the Great Wall, and few of them accept field jobs that might leave Boulder City, except for the highly mobile mercenaries and the very poor. ”

"It's okay, just ask, don't force it too much."

Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued.

"In the future, you can go to the talent market in Boulder City more often, whether you can go by yourself or send someone to it, or simply set up a fixed booth there. The factories in Boulder City can't absorb the excess talent, and we can digest it for them. ”

In short, it's nothing more than digging into the corners.

Not only talents, but also eliminated second-hand equipment, everything that is not used in Boulder City, the northern suburbs can be fully accepted.

As a result, Boulder lost employment, optimized the talent market, which was extremely unbalanced between supply and demand, and eliminated excess industrial capacity.

Although he suffered a slight loss, Chu Guang felt that it was not a big problem.

What is the spirit of internationalism?

Self-denial, of course.

Immediately understood what the manager meant, Shuyu smiled and said.

"I see, sir."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Well, you know what I mean."

Although he looks a little younger, this young man named Shuyu is unexpectedly capable, which saves him a lot of work.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang took a look around the official website.

Today's forum is as lively as ever.

The Mole Squad and the Edge Squad have arrived in Junk City, encountering the Centriapod's lair on the way, but luckily there is no danger.

More than twenty myriapeds were killed, and they took off their only valuable gallbladders and skins, and then continued on their way.

There was also a hiccup here.

Although the caravan guards said that the meat of the myriaped was not edible, Lao Na roasted a leg out of curiosity.

It turns out that things in the wasteland really can't be eaten casually.

Even if he was almost twenty points in his physique, he held on to the tree and retched for half an hour......

Except for the two squads of Mole and Edge, the other players are not idle, and they have their own things to do. Brother Quanshui was doing the task of the scientific expedition team, and helped Yin Fang collect a lot of valuable information, and the garbage gentleman was in the jungle in Yuanxi Town, impacting the bottleneck of LV10.

There are also life professional gamers who helped him design Linghu. Irrigation canals on the north bank, as well as underground drainage systems for long-term farms.

At present, the engineering team that retains people under the knife is in full swing of construction.

Among them, the most surprising thing for Chu Guang was the difficulty of the strongman he sent to the north before.

After grinding all the way, this rat-man brother finally arrived in Xizhou City with a group of rat brothers.

Although many rats have fallen behind on the road, it is not a big problem for him.

After arriving at the destination, the strongman quickly relied on his extraordinary fists and feet, as well as tricks that did not speak of martial virtues, beat the local rats all over the ground to find teeth, bowed down to him, and worshiped him as the king of Xizhou rats.

After getting acquainted with the terrain in the southern suburbs of Xizhou, he quickly used the radio, sleep pod, battery and small generator he brought to establish a safe foothold in the southern urban area of Xizhou City.

After getting in touch with the Vault's signal tower, the map information he had explored along the way was also synced to the server via the VM.

According to the description of the strongman's difficulties in the post, the situation there can only be described as "desolate" and "miserable".

The stench of decay hung in the rubble, corpses littered the streets, hung from viaducts and street lamps, some with slogans insulting the rebels around their necks, and streets littered with rats, cockroaches and hyenas.

The whole city is like hell!

“…… The Tooth Clan of the Bone Chewing Tribes had snatched everything they could get their hands on, and the city was left with only a few survivors who had organized a rebel army. ”

"With the style of those marauders who ate the last meal and didn't care about the next, it is estimated that they will not last long, but perhaps the think tank of the legion has played a role, and they have begun to drive some of the captives to farm, and they have heard that as long as they can grow food, they will not be eaten, and those captives are desperately working in the fields."

"I couldn't bear to gnaw on their crops, and the croissants buried in the ground weren't tasty. So I asked my little brothers to be a little more restrained, and when the grain was in the granary, I went to feast. ”

"In addition, the entire city is not completely under the control of the Bone Chewing Tribe, although they destroyed all the survivor strongholds on the surface, they did not conquer everyone, and some people still survived."

"Those men, who called themselves the Resistance, hid in sewers and bomb shelters, fought guerrilla warfare in the ruins, and caused a lot of trouble for the marauders. Although the Tooth Clan sent two teams of 1,000 people to hunt them down, the results were minimal, and the environment there was like a labyrinth. ”

"The leader of the Ya clan seems to intend to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou City, and then continue to expand his territory in the south. I'm trying to find a way to get in touch with the local survivors, who are small in number and poorly equipped, but with a high will to fight, and if we can give them a little help, they might be able to contain the trouble north for us. ”

"It's not that hard to find them, I have more than a hundred little brothers now, and the only thing that gives me a headache now is ...... How do I get them to believe in a talking mouse? Damn, why rats! If only I were a cat! ”

The length of the post is a full three pages.

Chu Guang saw the post of the strong man at the end, and made a rough summary of the information inside.

Although Xizhou City fell to the iron hooves of the Chewing Bone Tribe, it was not completely conquered, and there were still many survivors there who were making stubborn resistance.

Due to the accumulation of a large number of looted booty and slaves in Xizhou City, the Tooth Clan, who planned to use Xizhou City as a base in the south, could not leave those resistance organizations alone, so they could only divide a large number of people to deal with them.

It's going to be a long battle.

Until they get rid of their own troubles, they won't be able to spare all their strength to continue south.

Looking at the information sorted out, Chu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The situation in the entire Xizhou City before was completely black for him, and no one knew when the marauders in the north would come again, so he could only analyze it from the probability that it might be after the autumn harvest.

According to the information that the strongman was difficult, Chu Guang could basically be sure that for at least three months, the Chewing Bone tribe in the north would not be able to spare their hands to deal with him.

After sorting out the information in the post, Chu Guang immediately edited two more tasks to collect intelligence, and the publisher set it as [Difficult for Strongmen].

However, Chu Guang did not send the task over immediately, but set a timer to send it, which was delayed until tomorrow morning.

It's a little less deliberate.

“…… It might be a good idea to connect with local survivors and support their resistance. ”

Chu Guang touched his chin thoughtfully.

To the south of Vault 404 is Boulder City, but the space to the south is too small, and the situation in Qingquan City is complicated, so if you want to expand, you can only go north.

Xizhou City is a good choice.

Whether it is human or material resources, there are a lot of reserves there.

The only problem now is that the number of players is still too small, and with the gradual expansion of strategic depth, 1,100 players is clearly not enough.

"If only I could open the B4 floor!"

Now is the farming period, whether it is planting vegetables or moving bricks, it takes people.

After glancing at the time, Chu Guang turned off the computer with regret, got up and went back to his room to sleep.

That night.

He had a long, long dream.

In the dream, there were many strangers whose faces could not be seen clearly, and there Daddy and Daddy called him.

was annoyed by the shouting, and just as Chu Guang wanted to ask who their mother was, the dream suddenly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes and felt the dampness and stickiness behind him, Chu Guang immediately guessed what was happening.

There are no surprises.

He's upgraded again.

“…… It was too much of a surprise. ”

Muttering and sitting up from the bed, Chu Guang moved his limbs to get used to the strengthened body.

The strength felt the same, the speed of thinking seemed to be the same as before, but the reaction speed seemed to be faster than before, and the eyesight also improved slightly.

So this time it's agility that is strengthened?

Just as Chu Guang was recalling what he had done yesterday, a line of light blue suspended windows suddenly appeared in front of him after a long absence.

And the words in the floating window also made him really feel what it means to be caught off guard.

[Mission: Wave!] 】

[Briefing: According to the air condition monitoring data, the concentration of spores of the variant slime mold active in the air has reached a critical value, and the probability of forming a new brood is as high as 97%. This will be a severe test for the survivors of Qingquan City. 】

[Request: The "Wave" will arrive within two weeks to resist the invasion of the "Wave", search for and eliminate the brood north of the Third Ring Road, and completely relieve the crisis of the Wave!] 】

[Reward: Vault 404 Level B4 Access]

[Reinforcements available: "200 dormant pods"×2]

Seeing the task interface from beginning to end, Chu Guang was stunned.

Boy.

The trouble came at a better time.
