“…… I don't know what to do, but if I tell the group of marauders that he has a few valuable biomimetic parts on him, will he still be alive? I was already slashed into a stick! ”

Looking at the back of the person walking downstairs, Professor Sun Zewen hummed in his mouth and limped towards his room.

The administrators of the new alliance have assigned him a new job, so that he can continue to work on resonance fields and telepathic interference devices in the future.

Chu Guang plans to deploy a Psychic Interference Tower near the settlement to drive away mutant hyenas, moles, cockroaches, two-headed dogs, brown bears, jackals, falcons, and other common xenomorphs.

This can be done by unleashing fear on them through the Resonance Field, driving the xenos to the player's hunting grounds, or at least keeping them away from farmland and villages.

The problem that needs to be solved now is that different organisms have their own specific "frequencies", and although there are readily available sources to refer to, there is still a need for research on specific species.

But before he could do that, he had to go back to his room to pack his bags, make a trip to Vault 401 to download data, and then head to the headquarters of the New Alliance, Vault 404, where he could start a new life.

Yin Fang remained in the control room, looking left and right at the terminal that controlled the mind control tower, and kept muttering incredulous words in his mouth.

There was so much in it that confused him.

“…… How did this thing work? Simulating the frequency of brain waves? No...... It doesn't seem to have anything to do with brain waves...... What is the medium through which information can be transmitted? ”

Hea was rarely disinterested, biting her lip lightly, her eyes full of complexity, as if she was thinking about something.

As for Chu Guang, he didn't have time to care about his two subordinates at this time, but kept staring at the tablet in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The loot this time is quite amazing.

An old professor who has studied "resonance field theory" and "telepathic interference devices".

Although Professor Sun Zewen was unknown in the pre-war era, he was also an old popsicle frozen from 200 years ago.

The other is a researcher who studies biomimetic organs, although his personality is a little more rigid, or silly and sweet, but it does not affect his ability in the professional field.

And for Chu Guang, the price paid for getting all this was nothing more than some contribution points and silver coins.

It's blood-earned!

The only fly in the ointment is that the other three residents of Vault 117 have been killed, and this is the origin of the three skeletons at the entrance of the ecological park and the iron plaque engraved with the torch.

The loss of Vault 401 was equally heavy, except for Sun Zewen, who was wise enough to save his life, only six "new generation" of Vault residents survived.

These six people can be said to have tasted the dangers of the world, and they are almost inhuman when they are tortured by those marauders, and even their eyes have lost their light.

Chu Guang assigned them all to Professor Sun Zewen as his research assistant.

The lifespan of the Vault dwellers is much longer than that of the Wastelanders, and although these people are not young anymore, after all, they have received the elite education of the Vault, and their foundation is still much stronger than that of the average Wastelander.

The techniques related to the "Resonance Field Theory" and the "Psychic Interference Device" must be inherited.

Obviously, Professor Sun Zewen also knew this, so he simply accepted the task given to him by Chu Guang.

As for the other 109 freed slaves, most of whom Tus had bought from slave traders, Chu Guang instructed the cattle and horses to bring them back to Dawning City along with the captured booty.

It takes time to adjust to a new life.

Before giving them back their freedom, Chu Guang first needed to make sure that they could gain the ability to earn a living and not become a hidden danger to society.

Fortunately, by now, there were far more jobs in the new alliance than in the labor force, and a series of measures taken by Chu Guang to stimulate the economy attracted a large influx of merchants, and both the primary, secondary and tertiary industries were expanding rapidly.

Chu Guang had already greeted Old Luca, and he would be responsible for placing these poor people later.

In addition to counting the loot, with the help of Xiao Qi, Chu Guang simply sorted out the information he had collected earlier.

As he had guessed, the Torch had been here twenty years earlier, and had copied research materials on the Resonance Field from Vault 401.

The collar around the neck of the pet named Niko raised by Chu Guang is a device that has been improved based on similar technical principles.

While it is not possible to manipulate deathclaws through an indiscriminate resonance field, it is not the same when you insert a tube directly into your head.

Due to differences in philosophy and goals, the torch split into two groups in Vault 401, one heading south to find specimens of alien creatures, while others stayed where they were to build their homes.

Later, Professor Zhao Yuan and others, who stayed behind, out of pity, rescued a group of refugees who had fled from Boulder City—including the Tus who was torn apart by the garbage king's hands.

And then it's nothing more than the story of the farmer and the snake.

The refugees, who were not interested in their ideals at all, easily subdued the pampered blue coats with cunning and surprise sneak attacks, and used their skills to rub the pills.

And it was this series of changes that made Professor Zhao Yuan completely lose confidence in the wastelanders.

As for the colony mentioned by the old popsicle named Sun Zewen......

This is still too far away for the current Chu Guang.

However, Chu Guang still asked Xiao Qi to update the relevant entries in the official website setting as a supplement to the worldview.

……

The basement level of the Ecological Conservation Park.

There is an underground passage that connects to the nearby metro station, and passengers who come here by rail can directly access the park.

Now, though, this passageway, like most of the subway tunnels in Cheongquan City, has become a haven for nibbles.

At this moment, a light lit up in the dark hallway, and heavy footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

The gnawers who wandered in the darkness cast their gazes at the pesky light source, their rotting mouths hissing and growling.

However, before they could get closer, the sound of thunderous gunfire rang out in the tunnel.

Sparks leaped through the tunnel, and the gnawers fell one after another, and in a moment there were more than twenty more corpses on the ground.

With green smoke coming from the muzzle of the gun, Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, changed the magazine cleanly, and then fired again suddenly.

After the gunfire subsided, he put away the muzzle of the gun that was emitting green smoke and casually accosted Professor Sun Zewen who was following him.

"Didn't the marauders think about cleaning up here?"

The eardrum was almost shattered, and Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his ear with a headache before he came back to his senses for a while.

"Clean up here? They don't do thankless work. That group of short-sighted barbarians just wanted to make more plastic pieces...... It was only later that I learned that the survivors of the wasteland were actually using casino chips as money. ”

Chu Guang: "It's not everyone, it's just that Qingquan City is more popular here." ”

Professor Sun Zewen asked curiously.

"What about you?"

"Of course we have our own currency."

The entrance to Vault 401 is in this corridor, which was disguised as a workshop in the pre-war era, with a sign that says "No Idlers" and is separated from visitors by a locked door.

But now, not to mention the door, even the fist-thick wall has been torn down in half, leaving only a piece of broken bricks there, and behind it is a half-open alloy door.

"More than twenty years ago, the shelter ran out of electricity and we had to withdraw from the ground and build shelter on the surface...... It has been abandoned. ”

Professor Sun Zewen took the initiative to walk in front and led Chu Guang towards the shelter.

With the reactor shut down, the cogwheel-shaped alloy door is black, even the air purification system is dormant, and only a few critical functional devices are still on standby with minimal energy consumption supported by backup power.

Although Yin Fang had already been here before, he had only roughly collected the public data stored in the vault, and had not carefully explored the interior of the vault.

Considering that this place would become a new gathering point for players in the future, Chu Guang felt that it was necessary for him to come here in person.

The moment Chu Guang had just stepped into the shelter, a light blue pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

[Mission: Restart the fusion reactor at Vault 401]

[Reward: Vault 401 Manager Privileges]

Looking at the pale blue pop-up window that appeared in front of him, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

Boy.

As soon as I got in, I triggered the task of obtaining manager permissions.

Is it that simple?

"Vault 401 has four floors, the first and second floors are living areas, the third floor is the entertainment area, and the fourth floor is the planting area. Theoretically, the maximum number of people sheltered here is 1,600, but in practice it is no problem to accommodate 2,000 people. ”

Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

"One more layer than Vault 117."

Professor Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Yes, but Vault 117 has a much higher budget than ours, and they can even live up to 40 square meters per person, while we are only half of theirs."

Speaking of this, a look of emotion appeared on the old man's face.

"Unable to stand the closed space, many people choose cryo-dormancy...... Including me. However, cryo-dormancy will not solve the problem, and as energy reserves gradually fall below the warning line, we have to wake up from our dormancy and go to the surface to find hope before the power is completely depleted. ”

The expression on Chu Guang's face was a little subtle.

Twenty square meters per capita is also worthy of being occluded?

Wouldn't his Vault 404 be in jail?

However, having so many rooms here did Chu Guang a great favor.

Vault 117 has now been converted into a double room, increasing the player capacity from 500 to 1,000.

Counting the 2,000 "beds" in Vault 401, as long as you squeeze out another 400 rooms, it won't be a problem to cram the new players in Beta 0.1 into it!

The immediate priority now is to find the fuel rods and restore the power here, while inheriting the authority of the administrator here.

Following in the footsteps of Professor Sun Zewen, Chu Guang took a general walk around the shelter.

Compared to Vault 117's comfort-oriented shelters, it's a bit of a research institute.

The area of the single room is between 20~30 square meters, and there is a separate bathroom and refrigerator, and many rooms have uneaten and rotten chocolates and biscuits in the refrigerator.

The living conditions here are definitely not bad.

There are even cacao and coffee trees in the orchards in the growing area, but unfortunately, the plants here have long since died.

However, to Chu Guang's surprise, when he walked to the back of the planting area, he found an unexpected surprise here.

It was a freezer with seeds for more than a dozen crops.

The seeds of the cocoa and coffee trees are also preserved!

And the amount of reserves is not small!

Judging by the flashing pale green traffic lights, the freezer is still running smoothly.

"Can the seeds still work?" Chu Guang said excitedly.

Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Of course, the seed bank is independently powered...... Even if the reactor is shut down, the seeds here can be preserved for another one to two centuries. In fact, we planted a portion of the ...... around the eco-park. It's just that after the marauders took over the place, the crops were wasted. ”

He didn't know the specifics there.

Although the marauders gave him a certain amount of freedom, they did not allow him to leave the confines of the ecological reserve, let alone let him go to the surrounding forest.

After walking around the planting area on the B4 floor, Chu Guang also had a general understanding of the situation in Vault 401.

The two returned to the entrance to the vault.

Chu Guang glanced at the half-open alloy giant door, and suddenly asked.

"How many people were there when your door was first opened?"

Sun Zewen thought for a moment and answered.

"About seven hundred."

Chu Guang said unexpectedly.

"Instead, it's less?"

Sun Zewen sighed and said.

"People who don't want to sleep are old and dead, people who are alive are not optimistic about the future, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to reproduce...... At the end of the day, the shelter is too small, and there will always be all sorts of problems. ”

Chu Guang: "What about the rest?" ”

Sun Zewen: "Most of the first generation of residents died of old age, some of the new generation of residents died in the waves, some of them became seriously ill because of the water and soil, and then the things you already know happened...... Anyway, there are only seven people still alive, including me. ”

After a pause, the old man continued.

"Administrator of Vault 404, I have a treasure to dedicate to you."

Chu Guang glanced at him curiously.

"What baby?"

Professor Sun Zewen had a happy expression on his face.

"Black box! You're a manager and you know what it is, so I won't explain much. One of the black boxes is for the production of blue coats, and the other is for the production of VMs. The former's variable temperature material is a good thing, while the latter is even more versatile, not only can it be converted into a survival tool for various purposes, but also can recycle carbon nanoelectronic components. ”

Chu Guang looked at the old man in surprise.

"The marauders didn't get it?"

Professor Sun Zewen smiled.

"Marauders? Where do those vulgar savages know such treasures, and I have no reason to take the initiative to tell them those good things...... You, on the other hand, are the stewards of the Vault, and I am sure that you will be able to put our legacy to good use. ”

"But the question now is ...... We had a little bit of a situation before, the black box was locked in the manager's office, and in order to open the door to the manager's office, the reactor had to be restarted. ”

In other words, in order to recycle the black box, do you first have to restore the power supply to the vault?

Chu Guang said with a happy expression.

"Thank you for your trust!"

"I assure you that we will make good use of these legacies."

The scientific expedition team was already searching for clues about the fuel rods, and Yin Fang's reply to him was that it was not a big problem, and it could be done within a week if it was fast.

Although Chu Guang, the black box that produces VMs, already has it, who would mind having another one?

Like the black box that produces the hibernation pod, the more the merrier, the more versatile things of this kind are.

As for the black box that produced the blue coat, it was even more of a surprise for Chu Guang.

The blue jacket made of variable temperature material automatically adjusts the material's breathability and heat dissipation according to the external environment, so that the wearer's body temperature is kept as comfortable as possible.

From now on, players will no longer have to worry about the fabric of their clothes getting less and less, and they will not dare to go out in the blue jacket of "out-of-print skin"!

……

The official website of "Wasteland Online".

Today's forum is as lively as ever.

The reason for this was that the Jungle Corps posted a video of their battle on the forum.

Those macho men in heavy armor and armed with machine guns really attracted the attention of many same-sex players, so much so that at least half of the thousands of new pre-registration players filled in the questionnaire as their first choice.

In contrast, the Burning Corps suffered a little.

Although the single-round combat effectiveness, the Burning Corps is obviously above the Jungle Corps, but the personalized corps configuration makes them not recognizable enough in small-scale battles.

Plainly.

No matter how efficient the Butan coordination is, it is not as visually impactful as the steel torrent, and ten KV-1 exoskeletons welded with steel plates are lined up, and the picture of machine gun fire alone is enough to make people's blood boil.

However, although most of the limelight was stolen by the Jungle Corps, the Mosquito air raid still amazed many onlookers.

Especially the incendiary bomb that was thrown at the end made the two directors of the No. 81 factory next door call it unscientific.

Ya'er I want to go to the toilet: "! Incendiary bombs all out? ”

Ward beriberi Levine: "Good brother, what are you made of thickeners?" ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Guess! ”

Chasing souls: "It is not easy to thicken the fuel by using sodium soap aqueous solution and aluminum sulfate water to make fatty acid aluminum soap!" Cuisine! ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "??? ”

The voice was quieter, and I Bron: "Awesome!! It's still your punishment! ”

Doomsday Lone Wolf: "I suggest you go to the bureau to prepare a case......"

Most of the posts of veteran players revolve around the tactical collocation and gameplay of the updated corps system in the B round of testing, or discuss the new map in the eastern district of Qingquan City.

The entire East End is a complete primeval forest.

The vegetation density and air humidity here are much higher than those in the north and west of Qingquan City, and there are large numbers of wild xenospecies active in the collapsed ruins and jungle-covered streets.

In addition to the iron-backed ape and the silver-billed snake, Elder Brother Fang summarized several common monsters and updated them in the post for other players' reference.

This time, it wasn't just Elder Brother Fang, but Hurricane also wrote an unprecedented post and hung up the photo of Vault 401 he had taken.

When Yin Fang went to the shelter to recover the data before, he happened to receive an escort mission, and the photo was taken at that time.

“…… Vault 401, like Vault 404, is suspected to be a controlled fusion reactor as the power source, but it is currently in an abandoned state due to the depletion of energy. ”

"I brushed the task of finding fuel rods on the scientific expedition group, and here I still recommend that you have time to brush the professional level of the scientific expedition group, although the task cycle of the scientific expedition team is long, but the level has gone up, and the rewards given for completing a whole task chain are still quite rich."

The wording of the wind is more subtle.

Considering that these guys were always clamoring to plan a slash, they didn't disclose how much they received from Yin Fang.

That being said, even though the expedition's missions are highly rewarding, most players still prefer the Hunter Guild's missions.

After all, the former travels more than a dozen kilometers at every turn, going deep into no-man's land and fighting unknown dangers, and collecting and searching for documents and data that are unknown whether they exist or not.

Even a small mistake can lead to the whole team giving in vain.

Rather than having absolute confidence in the strength of themselves and their teammates, few non-hardcore gamers will choose this kind of high-risk, high-reward mission.

Just when the old players were exchanging their strategy experiences, the newcomers of the B round test also published their "closed beta testimonials" in the gossip section without a posting threshold.

Luo Yu: "This game is too difficult. ”

Qingfeng: "Isn't there a simple one?" Those howling nibbles are terrifying. QAQ”

Bai gave a sniper: "Yes, cockroaches are much easier to bully than gnavers, and when they come out, they don't make a sound at all, but it's quiet." ”

The sixth in the corner: "Hey, now it's new, I can't bear any hardship!" Back then, we just entered the game and encountered a wave, and we started Hell mode directly. ”

Quit smoking: "Damn, you don't brag!" When I first entered the game, I was chased by the gnawers, and I couldn't stand it! ”

Unprofessional anti-steamed buns: "Damn! These guys say on the forum every day that pigs are so cute, and they like pigs so much, but when they meet, they either want to pick up my pants, or ask me for a book, and no girl is harmed to team up with me! Gas! ヽ”

It is difficult for the strongman: "Woo woo, don't talk about good brothers, these Yan dogs are a real batch!" If you really can't stay any longer, come to Xizhou City, my family is quite big, welcome to play, I'll take you to level up. ”

Unprofessional anti-steamed buns: "Good brother! I'm coming! QAQ”

Irena: "Fast forward to Brother Qiang, don't." ”

Fujito: "There is still a CP that I can't move, and I'm still too young." ”

Raven: "??? ”

Whoop sesame paste: "Meow meow? ”

……

Vault 404.

It took Chu Guang a whole morning to move the manager's office to the browsing room on the B4 floor.

Not only does it have ready-made furniture, but it also has a separate shower room, and the space is large enough to make the environment much better than his previous simple office.

Anyway, this floor is not suitable for other players, and idleness is idleness, so it is better to make use of the space here.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Chu Guang drank the happy water he endorsed while browsing the official website forum to see what new work his little players had come up with.

It's been a week since the beta was launched.

In the last four days, 30~40 new players have entered the game every day, and the number of players on the server has grown from 1,500 to 1,620.

"If it's fast, will it break 2,000 people in two weeks?"

Chu Guang glanced at the tablet on the side.

It lists the expenses of each department in the last week.

One of the most striking is task spending.

In the past week, the mission income issued by the Vault to all players has reached nearly 900,000 credits.

The average daily income of players has also increased to 97 credits.

Of course, this number is mainly pulled up by players in the T0~T2 echelon, and the income growth curve of players before LV10 is still relatively flat.

Chu Guang also found out recently.

The inflation caused by giving players money is actually not as high as expected.

On the one hand, players have a set of internal circulation economic system, and the money earned by player A is either spent by player B, or consumed in the NPC store of the "refuge collective management", and a small part will directly flow into the market.

Another is that players neither have to support their families, nor do they have the need to have children, at most the amount of food is a little bigger, plus everyone has the habit of saving money, and the spending power is not as high as imagined.

The warehousing balance system established by Chu Guang in the early version stabilized the prices of basic materials such as grain and minerals to a certain extent.

After several rounds of updates and adjustments, this system has developed relatively well.

However, it is unrealistic to expect one way to solve all problems.

As the number and level of players increases, new problems arise.

It takes too long for new players to get together a set of equipment, it takes half a month to complete a set of equipment, and old players have too many silver coins in their pockets to spend it, so they have to raise the price of high-end equipment to the sky.

How to make new players get enough gaming experience, and make old players more motivated to make money?

Very simple.

Build a "cistern" and put surplus silver coins in it.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened up, crackled on the keyboard, and built a new folder.

[Beta 0.2 Update: Silver Coin Trading System]

[Change: Players who have obtained VM can digitize their silver coin assets, synchronize them to their official website forum account in real time, and trade with other players in the form of digital currency.] 】

[Note: Cloud players can also participate in trading.] 】

Of course, this is only the first draft, and the specific transaction rules still have to be carefully designed. However, these are small problems, and there are too many cases that can be used for reference.

Looking at the edited document, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

Although it is inconvenient for him to directly send RMB to players who work hard, there is always someone who can do these things for him.

What a chip, a dinar, a CR, a hammer.

Can you natives convert money into money?

Chu Guang will not only give the players a reason to work harder to make money, but will also make them obediently hand over to him the foreign exchange they earned from the other survivors' settlements.

As the value of credits grows, there should be more "good-to-use" pro players in the future.

"Don't you think you can't afford to buy equipment?"

"Aren't you clamoring for PY every day?"

"It's open, let's play."
