After studying for a while, Chu Guang finally figured out what the use of the pillar-like terminal in front of him was.

In simple terms, it is the entrance through which the player's consciousness is projected into this world.

It's the equivalent of a Wasteland Online server.

The 3,000 usable gene sequences stored in it can be understood as 3,000 "game activation codes".

When the player logs in to the game, the image of the consciousness is cached on this "server". As for the cultivation cabin, in addition to providing information services for players, it is more like an information node.

The helmet, the player's real-life body, the server, the training pod, and the clone together form a "field", and an invisible "string" is connected between the five.

The medium of information transmission is not electromagnetic waves or optical signals, and even the way of information transmission itself may be some kind of technology that Chu Guang does not understand.

This is also the reason why the power loss of the pod will cause the player to disconnect, and each consciousness can only control one clone.

Of course, this was just Chu Guang's speculation.

The original administrator didn't explain to him the technical principles of the devices, nor did he explain how he got the helmet into the hands of players.

"3,000 game 'activation codes'...... It should be possible to unlock it further, right? It's not like that's all there is to the server. The index finger slid across the touch screen, and Chu Guang muttered to himself thoughtfully.

It's not that he's greedy.

He just thought that he could go to great lengths to deliver the helmet to the players, and establish a strong association between the player and the clone, just to release a few thousand genetic sequences?

He didn't believe it.

Waving his hand, the pale blue holographic screen dispersed, and Chu Guang's gaze fell on the four black boxes.

The game activation code is here.

There is still a lack of game accounts.

If nothing else, the answer should be there.

As Chu Guang expected, the largest black box among them-

It is used to synthesize the culture chamber!

……

"According to the instructions in the manual, put in iron ingots, aluminum ingots, and graphite in turn...... and so on eleven materials, and add 100L of water, please ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity, and place the black box in a ventilated place. ”

Warehouse on the B3 floor.

Next to a black cube covering an area of 20 square meters.

Under the command of Yin Fang, three warehouse workers are entering the materials into the black box through a simple and easy-to-understand operation process.

Although it is a graphic tutorial that can be understood by a fool, it doesn't matter whether there is a Yin Fang or not, Chu Guang always feels that it will be a little more reassuring to have an expert by his side.

The black box emitted a slight hum.

After a period of waiting, two brand-new incubators were sent out of the conveyor belt at the outlet, lying quietly in the open space of the warehouse.

Seeing everything in front of them, the faces of the three aborigines showed surprised expressions, as if they had seen some incredible miracle.

All that's in there is nothing more than a bunch of metal ingots.

What came out was a ...... Well, they didn't know what these two iron bumps were for, but that didn't stop them from being surprised by the changes in front of them!

It's incredible!

It's more magical than juggling!

Thinking of this, the three of them secretly glanced at Chu Guang, and there was a hint of awe in their respectful eyes as if they were looking up to a god.

Worthy of the manager!

Although they didn't understand it at all, they were shocked.

Yin Fang also had an expression of interest on his face.

Of course he knew what a black box was, but that didn't stop him from being curious about what the black box produced.

The Academy's black box is either to produce exoskeletons, drones, laser guns, or some gadgets with obvious uses and single functions.

However, the black box here is different.

Before coming to Qingquan City, he had never seen so many "strangely functional" black boxes.

For example, the two iron boxes in front of you.

Walking up and looking left and right at the two cultivation cabins, Yin Fang studied for a long time and didn't figure out what this thing was used for.

"Incredible...... How many black boxes do you have?! And what exactly is this iron box? Coffin? ”

Chu Guang didn't answer his questions, one because he didn't know either, and the other because it was inconvenient to answer.

He glanced at the time on the VM and silently calculated the production speed of the cultivation chamber, but his heart sank slightly.

"The maximum daily production capacity is 40 units, calculated according to a month and 30 days...... You can release up to 1,200 players in a month. ”

As for the cost, it made Chu Guang's eyebrows ache faintly.

The black box drawn this time comes with a fusion battery, and the cost of electricity is temporarily ignored, after all, this can't be calculated.

The cost of materials alone is as high as 2,000 silver coins!

Equivalent to the cost of three hibernation pods!

Steel and aluminum are cheap, copper is barely OK, and the supply is stable. However, such as nickel, molybdenum, and other rare metals, are not so cheap.

If the production capacity is full, it is equivalent to an increase in the cost of 8W silver coins per day, which is 240W silver coins in a month!

But from another point of view, a two-headed cow costs three or four thousand or even four or five thousand silver coins, and a player with two thousand silver coins is much more capable than a two-headed cow.

A cheap and self-conscious android can cost tens of thousands of chips, to say the least, and the value that a player can create is far greater than that of a biotic.

Is 2000 silver expensive?

It's not expensive at all.

As for the monthly increase of 240W......

At first glance, it seems like a little more, in fact, it is quite a lot, but it is not a big problem!

First of all, unlike other fiscal expenditures, this fiscal expenditure is not directly fed into the market and does not directly cause inflation.

Secondly, as long as Chu Guang can find a way to obtain a steady stream of resources from the outside and increase the financial revenue of the shelter, it will be very easy to fill this hole without the price of industrial raw materials fluctuating significantly.

It's okay to say that you really don't have money, it's a big deal to stop the production line for a while, and then continue when you have money.

"In order to summon more players, Vault 404 needs to strengthen its regional influence and military presence in Red River Town!"

"When the situation is right, consider including the town of Red River in the second recovery area of the 'New Alliance'!"

At present, the Vault has a military base in Red River Town, which was originally just to find something for the players to do and earn some extra money by the way, but unexpectedly, it became an unexpected joy.

“…… However, now the cultivation cabin needs to be produced by itself, and the qualification distribution mode of the B round of testing has to be slightly adjusted. ”

Looking at the two cultivation cabins in the warehouse, Chu Guang thought to himself.

For example, from a one-time large-scale investment in accounts, to 40 per day on a version cycle. The current version of 3,000 accounts will be issued while supplies last, when he will get more activation codes, and when will he start the next round.

Now that the number of players has gradually increased, it has reached four figures, and maintaining a double-digit daily growth is indeed more in line with the current needs of the Vault than explosive growth.

This thing is like the population, it is a burden to rise too much at a time, everyone is desperately rolling, it is not good if it does not rise at all, no one rolls up the boss's car, who will refuel.

Someone has to do the basics.

Novice missions under 10 credits are too low for veteran players, but they are still fragrant for new players.

The efficiency of the players is three times or more than that of the average aborigine, even if the slaves are tired, they will let go for a while, but the players only have a progress bar in their eyes!

The most important thing is that the newcomers are cute.

Chu Guangchao likes them.

Seeing that Chu Guang had not paid attention to himself, Yin Fang made a helpless expression, gave up the function of asking the cultivation cabin, and instead studied the other three black boxes.

The second black box is the same as the one found in the warehouse on the B3 floor, which is used to produce dormant cabins, with a daily production capacity of 20~24 units, which is inexpensive and cheap to maintain, and can be used to scan and record the DNA expression of whole body cells.

Black boxes are not the only ones, and overlapping features are not uncommon.

A player can only have one pod, but the Hibernation pod can serve multiple players at different times.

Respawn points are suitable for deployment in the rear, but save points can be deployed directly on the front lines, or even right next to ammunition depots.

The production capacity of the dormant cabin has doubled, and Chu Guang is still quite satisfied, and the demand for the dormant cabin by players in the future will definitely be much greater than that of the cultivation cabin.

This thing can replace the sleeping bag and become a must-have artifact for players to travel at home, and when the number of save points is sufficient, Chu Guang will consider opening the dormant pod to players who have contributed more than citizens to buy.

The money earned is just enough to subsidize the production of training cabins.

The products of the first two Black Boxes are related to the player, but the third Black Box is slightly different and has little to do with the clones of the players.

However, its value was not at all smaller than the previous two, not only Yin Fang was excitedly amazed, but even Chu Guang showed a surprised expression.

"X-4 polymer fiber!" Yin Fang's face was full of envy, and he couldn't help but say, "Damn...... You guys have so much goodies, too! ”

X-4 polymer fiber!

B-level technology!

All you need to do is feed wood and water into the black box and a lot of electricity to produce the X-4 polymer fibers stably, and the by-products are carbon dioxide and possibly methane!

X-4 fiber is quite versatile, it can be used as a non-static barrier fabric for chemical protective clothing, and can also be used to replace ordinary fibers to make smokeless gunpowder after crushing, and improve the speed of gunpowder detonation!

This X-4 version of smokeless powder is ideal for projectiles, rockets, or bullets!

The outpost had gotten a bunch of X-4 fibers from the CO2 trap with the help of the Trailblazer, but it had been consumed for a long time as industrialization progressed.

Now that the ability to produce them independently has been obtained, the LD-47 series of weapons and the light and heavy cavalry guns produced by the No. 81 steel plant will undoubtedly rise to a new level in power!

And it's a steady boost!

Chu Guang glanced at Yin Fang, who was full of envy, and asked with interest.

"Can't the academy produce X-4 fiber?"

"The output is not high, the intermediate process is complicated, and it is very expensive!" Giving a three-sentence evaluation, Yin Fang's eyes fell into memory, and he continued, "...... I remember saving up for two months' salary to buy a protective suit made of X-4 fabric. ”

It should be more expensive to allow a D-class prospector to save two months' salary.

Chu Guang remembered hearing Yin Fang say before that the highest explorer of the academy was D-level, and he could take an independent expedition team out for archaeology.

Although the level and authority of D-class explorers are not high, their income is slightly higher than that of C-level researchers in non-core laboratories, and because they often have access to first-hand information, the speed and opportunities for promotion are much faster than those of fellow researchers.

However, this has nothing to do with Yin Fang.

Yin Fang missed the academy a lot before, but since watching the video of Dr. Principle, and Chu Guangfeng made him the branch dean of the college's No. 404 branch, he didn't miss home so much.

If you give archaeology to others, how can you be comfortable directing others archaeology?

Here he is not only the leader of the "scientific expedition team", but also does not have to bear the blame for the incompetent boss.

It's so fragrant!

Yin Fang then looked at the last black box, which was also the smallest of the four.

Its length and width are equivalent to an adult's arm and forearm, respectively, and the thickness is only one slap.

It is also the smallest one recovered from Vault 404 to date, even smaller than the one recovered from Vault 117.

It's really the size of a suitcase!

And its product is quite special.

Following a fool-proof tutorial printed on a black box, the workers entered 100 grams of graphite, 10 liters of water, and a little iron filings.

After about an hour, a syringe with a capacity of about 10 ml was slowly discharged from the discharge port.

The syringe is shaking with a yellowish solution.

Yin Fang took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said curiously.

"What is this?"

"Inducible expression of serum ......"

Softly read out the small words on the black box, and a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Guang's eyes.

He'd probably guessed what it was for.

However, the specific clinical effect needs to be further demonstrated by professionals.

"The serum is handed over to Hea to study...... That's her area of expertise, and she should be interested. ”

After speaking, Chu Guang then looked at the three warehouse workers standing on the side and continued to command.

"From now on, you will be responsible for the production of these four black boxes. I will assign some more manpower to you, how to allocate it is up to you to decide, I only have one request, be sure to ensure three shifts, the machine is turned on 24 hours a day! ”

Seeing that the manager entrusted such an important task to him, the three of them were flattered, and their faces invariably showed serious expressions.

"Don't worry, sir!"

"I am willing to swear with my life to promise to complete the task you have assigned!"

"Me too!"

Looking at the loyal three, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"I believe in you."

You don't need much culture to operate a black box.

Even mutants can read the fool-proof tutorials on the black box, let alone workers trained in literacy classes.

This kind of production equipment designed for the end of the world is sophisticated, but it is not delicate, and it is still a bit difficult to break.

And the aborigines who were able to enter the shelter were all loyal people who were "recognized by the VM" without exception.

In addition, the shelter is full of cameras, and Xiaoqi will report himself as soon as anything goes wrong, basically ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

……

“…… Dear listeners and friends, I am your dearest Mr. House, today's West Third Ring Road is calm, the temperature is 13°, a light rain has made the air much fresher, we have reason to believe that the air will be better in the future, the waves, the gray fog and the rotten smell will be completely over before the end of the month! ”

"Let's cheer for the city lord, the head of the militia regiment, General Zhao Yongxu and the militia led by him who fought bloodily on the front line, thanks to the fact that they have conquered one brood after another, today's Megalith City can be so peaceful."

"I can't remember if it's 51 or 54, but it's very, very much. Counting the xenos and evolutions that have been annihilated, their results are too numerous to count! Praise the lord of the castle! ”

"There is no big news today, and there is no major event in the southern part of the entire river valley province...... But you're all clamoring to hear about the situation in the north, so I'll talk about it a little bit. ”

"Thanks to our planes, the hillbillies there narrowly escaped. But they seem to think that it is their own credit, and at the moment they are celebrating the victory. ”

"Our observers saw them smearing blood on windows and doors, making their homes full of blood...... What a bunch of sketchy guys! ”

"If you must go north, you'd better stay away from them!"

The hoarse sound of electricity and the oily voice performed alone in the empty reception room.

And the outpost outside the reception room is full of lights and bustles at the moment.

A grand celebration is underway.

A small announcer in Boulder City had only guessed a fifth, and the people here weren't just celebrating their hard-earned victory.

At the same time, it is also celebrating the arrival of a great era.

From the square in front of the sanatorium to the commercial street at the north entrance, the crowd of black oppressors gathered together, and the survivors of the northern suburbs gathered from all directions as if they were pilgrimages.

Some of them just wanted to pay tribute to the honor of the manager himself, and some of them heard that there was something important to announce tonight, so they wisely grabbed a place in front of the front.

In addition to the local survivors, there are scavengers from other small and medium-sized survivor villages in the surrounding area, or traders and mercenaries from further afield.

Sun Shiqi also mixed in with the crowd.

Looking at the scene of the sea of people, his wide eyes were full of surprise, and he wanted to fall out of his sockets.

There have never been so many people in the northern suburbs.

Never before have so many people come together.

He remembered the last time he was here, it was desolate and not even a small village.

Not to mention the uniformly dressed guards who maintained order on the scene, they couldn't even make up a few iron pipe rifles at that time, and they had to buy the kind of small water hose in Red River Town!

So much so that Sun Shiqi at that time once suspected that these blue coats were pretended by a group of homeless people who occupied the magpie's nest!

"It's incredible......"

Sun Shiqi, who was squeezed to the point of suffocation, kept thinking excitedly.

What a huge market!

"yes, it's incredible."

A familiar voice came from the side, Sun Shiqi looked sideways, and he actually saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

"You're here too?"

Standing behind his brother Frost Furnace, Frost River bent the corners of his mouth.

"Is it strange that my house is here?"

When she said this, her voice was tinged with pride.

Sun Shiqi wanted to say a few words to the little girl, but found that the powerful man standing in front of him was staring at him.

There was a clear look of doubt in his eyes.

Sun Shiqi, who was squeezed out of breath, coughed dryly, and a harmless smile just appeared on his face, but the person had already been squeezed to other places.

The crowd gathered here was two or three thousand people, to say the least.

And those local survivors who did not make it to the scene also gathered at the town hall of the Long Farm or the castle on Bett Street.

There's a "TV" made up of VM screens.

Although the screen is not large, it is easier to see clearly than the crowded scene.

At the moment, in the square in the center of the crowd.

Chu Guang, who was wearing azure power armor, stood on the third floor of the tinkered sanatorium, where there was an unsealed wall.

Usually Xiaoqi stands here.

If there was nothing else, Chu Guang would occasionally come up to stay with it for a while, and by the way, he used the drone to peep at what the players were doing.

Although the outpost has been built in good shape, and the commercial street to the north has expanded all the way to the edge of the Niuma Brick Factory, only this sanatorium is still the same as when it first opened.

Lao Bai, who was standing in the crowd, looked up at the sanatorium in front of him, with a nostalgic expression written on his face.

"I made up the window on the second floor."

"What's this, I still built the wall on the first floor." Leaving someone under the knife said with a smile.

At first, the captain of the construction team was Lao Bai, but later he became a civil engineer, not to mention a sanatorium, and more than half of the houses in the outpost were built by him with the construction team.

Lao Bai smiled.

"It doesn't matter! I burned the bricks and cement! ”

Night Ten said helplessly.

"Do you even have to compare this?"

"That's it," Fang Chang glanced at them, "Ye Shi thinks you two are naïve." ”

Ye Shi suddenly jumped up like a rabbit with its tail stepped on: "Get out!" What does it mean to be naïve?! Old stuff jealous of my youth? ”

Quit smoking: "Hahahahaha! ”

Seeing that his face turned red and arguing, the wind couldn't help but snort, probably laughing.

The [Doomsday Lone Wolf] standing next to the tempest was looking at the power armor curiously, he was not curious about the celebration, only about the thing.

"Is that really fusion energy?"

Tempest glanced at him.

"Yes."

The lone wolf glanced at the wind in surprise.

"I thought you would be more curious than I was."

Tempest didn't reply, but Lone Wolf always felt something unspoken in his expression.

Not far away, Flesh excitedly lifted his tail and Siss, and his huge body stood out in the crowd, but both the aborigines and the players were not surprised by the big white bear.

It was heard that it was awarded a medal by the manager for transporting ammunition at the front.

Whenever they talk about this anecdote, the aborigines can't help but sigh that this is really a good place full of tolerance, as long as they work hard enough, even bears can live like people.

"See? See? ”

"Oh oh oh, thank you Meat! The meat is awesome! ”

"See, see, see! Oooooo ”

"Wait, what about Fujito? How is Fuji gone? Flesh looked around anxiously, but soon saw her on Raven's shoulder with an excited face.

Take a ladder.

The basis of the FPS game is.

The only regret is that the model of this game is too realistic, the physical effects and collision volume are too realistic, and it is unstable to stand on the head of a teammate, so you can only ride on your neck.

Stretching his neck and looking forward, Fuji Fuji, who is usually very quiet, was extremely excited and emotionally charged today.

After all, it was a celebration she organized!

It's a lot more fun than planning a company team building event!

"How much longer?"

"Two minutes left...... Ahh Raven looked nervously to the left and right.

I heard that there are drones shooting PV around, and as a commemorative video of the end of the A round of testing, all players who are online will enter the country.

This is your chance to appear on the official CG!

Raven deliberately changed into her favorite clothes.

She didn't want her hair to be messy.

It's 5:58 p.m.

There are only two minutes left until the celebration begins.

Not only the natives waited expectantly, but all the players looked expectantly at the manager standing on the third floor, as well as Xiao Qi beside him.

Cutscene CG!

Series B Testing!

A new version of the gameplay!

Hurry up!
