Dawning City North Runway.

A wooden plane staggered on the runway, bouncing up and down several times before finally stopping.

Looking at the speed dial that returned to zero, the mosquito that was holding its breath slowly relaxed, and a hanging heart finally let go.

"Mommy......"

It's down!

Two shots in the belly and five shots in the wings, and this was when he did a drum maneuver at the risk of falling apart during the pull-up.

Are these rival NPCs Nima Tarkov's boy band?

It's outrageous that a rifle can strafe with such a hit rate!

It's time to get out of the way!

Dropping his hat in the cabin, Mosquito jumped out with both hands and checked his car. Looking at those eye-catching and cracks, my heart ached.

Since the wings and fuselage of the aircraft are made of wood, the defense power is about zero, and it is basically a hole when it touches a bullet.

One of the bullets grazed the electrical circuit, almost causing the battery on his left to smoke.

However, it is also thanks to the wooden wings.

Due to the excess kinetic energy of the opponent's bullet, the power was overpenetrated, so it did not cause serious structural damage to the wing.

The mosquitoes hovered in the sky for a while, and it was not until the time of return that they noticed that the cabin was leaking and the wings were cracked, but it was only a few kilometers from the runway.

Panic, but not a big problem!

Four apprentices surrounded him.

Fatal glanced at the bullet hole on the plane and said in surprise.

"? You used this broken plane to fight people and dogs? ”

"I was shot a few times while I was fishing for fries, but it wasn't a big problem...... Can this plane still be repaired? The text stroking the wings said distressedly.

He stepped forward, stared at the wings, and shook his head.

"Can't fix it, the fuselage and wings ...... Let's redo it. ”

Chasing the soul patted the mosquito brother on the shoulder and comforted.

"It's okay, it doesn't cost a lot of money to make wood anyway, and the batteries, motors and machine guns are still there...... People are there, too. ”

"That's what I said......"

But if only I could avoid these shots.

After deducting the money for changing the wings, rounding up the mission is about the same as not earning, and the only consolation is the contribution points and flight skill proficiency.

The mosquito sighed, aching for the lost silver coin.

"Uncomfortable!"

……

Eastern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Under the leadership of Lu Bei, twenty aboriginal soldiers wearing light cavalry exoskeletons and belonging to the Guards Corps were hurrying to the area where the red smoke was rising to support.

As the elite of the New Alliance's standing corps, the veterans standing here are those who have participated in two battles and survived.

After the transformation of induced expression serum, their physical quality in all aspects is far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, unlike the "specificity" enhancement of clones, the panel data after the awakening of natural humans tends to be the average of more than three attributes.

Only a few experimenters with excellent congenital aptitude or special luck can excel in a certain attribute.

This type of person usually takes a special position in the squad.

For example, agility awakeners usually hold positions such as team shooters because of their excellent eyesight and reaction speed, strength awakeners are more responsible for ammunition carrying and fire support positions, and physique awakened people stand relatively forward, etc.

These are the lessons that players have learned from countless deaths and "official website discussions".

Approaching the discarded heavy exoskeleton in the center of the flower bed, Lu Bei stepped forward to inspect the charred corpse next to him, and tapped his index finger on the helmet.

“…… Report, we've found a broken exoskeleton near the flare! Friendly forces have been evacuated from the target area, request next instructions! ”

Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa in the browsing room, listened to the report of the front-line soldiers, thought for a moment and then ordered.

"Reclaim the wreckage, and don't leave a single piece behind!"

Lu Bei: "Yes! ”

Hearing that sonorous and powerful answer, Chu Guang ended the communication, looked at the snow-white plate on the side, and raised his eyebrows with a hint of interest.

"Anti-drone?"

There's something, these people.

Minutes earlier, he had redeployed the Hummingbird drone deployed near Vault 401 to the front line in an attempt to track down unidentified forces fleeing the rubble.

However, when the men withdrew from the battlefield, they immediately spotted the drone following behind.

One of them pulled out a square-headed spear, presumably an anti-drone electromagnetic gun or something, and shone it at his hummingbird.

Then, the connection between the drone and the control terminal is disconnected.

However, disconnection is disconnection, the hummingbird UAV is a pre-war product in the end, and the anti-invasion capability is not weak. After the signal hijacking is taken, the protection mechanism is immediately triggered, and the control element actively cuts off the communication function, enters the radio silence state, and the camera recognizes the path and returns home along the original route.

The only pity is that I lost that group of people.

Chu Guang could only judge from the direction in which they fled, they were heading north.

"They are torch bearers."

The index finger tapped lightly on the table, and Chu Guang thought for a moment before speaking.

"Xiaoqi, is there a way to hack their exoskeleton?"

Xiao Qi was silent for a while and whispered.

"Master, the chip used in their exoskeleton is most likely a copy of the pre-war chip, and it would be fine if the operating system was written by them......"

"But it's hard to apply the pre-war operating system directly."

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right."

It's unexpected, but it's not incomprehensible.

Spears and shields do not exist in isolation, and since there are means of invasion, there must be armor that can defend against invasion.

In the early days of the era of human connections, and even before the era of prosperity, machine learning technology was quite popular. Rather than writing every code by themselves, people are more inclined to build an AI algorithm that learns like a human and automatically adapts to various application scenarios.

Equivalent to automation in the field of programming.

With the birth of quantum computers, traditional encryption methods have almost become invalid, and human computing power has evolved from two isolated fulcrums of 0 and 1 to an infinitely extended "line", and corresponding encryption measures will naturally be born.

In the Prosperous Era, even the most basic anti-intrusion plug-ins have flexible recognition and judgment capabilities.

They are like the human immune system, which is able to recognize unknown viruses and form targeted antibodies, ensuring that the delivery can be delivered to the customer without error in any situation, and also that the missile can be accurately smashed on the enemy's head.

Although Xiaoqi is close to "complete artificial intelligence" AI, it is general-purpose after all.

It is characterized by the fact that it can do everything, but it does not mean that it can do everything at its best.

It can do this by editing easy-to-use apps, flexibly meeting the needs of users, and even giving moral support and encouragement. But when it comes to a specific field, its capabilities are no more prominent than AI that specializes in that field.

If the full level is 5 and the average value is 3, then its invasion ability is about 1~2, and maybe it can reach 3 with the bonus of computing power.

However, although Xiaoqi is not a professional hacker, the shelter still does not have to worry about the problem of electronic warfare intrusion.

The defense plug-in installed on the shelter server and the computing power of the server itself can achieve MAX anti-intrusion ability, which is equivalent to the ceiling in the current era.

Therefore, even if the offensive ability is not strong, no one can hack the security system of the shelter through hacking.

As for the anti-invasion and invasion capabilities of the Earth nations of the parallel world?

Optimism should be around 0.1, rounding up is about the same as nothing, after all, it is not a thing of the times at all, and there is no point in discussing the combat effectiveness of cavalry and tanks.

However, 7.5 billion people, at least 3.5 billion, have a dependence on information technology of 90% or even higher, and the market value of information-related industries exceeds tens of trillions, which indirectly affects several fields such as transportation, logistics, finance, industry, and agriculture.

It is precisely for this reason that dimensionality reduction strikes in the information field can form an "effective deterrent".

If we go back to the Great Age of Discovery, World War I or even earlier, the deterrent power of electronic warfare is quite limited, and no one may be able to listen to the broadcast to recruit ghosts in the past.

As for why its own management system was able to take over other shelters that were "equally full of anti-intrusion capabilities"?

Chu Guang is more inclined to think that it is the backdoor that the design supports to stay, rather than Xiao Qi's illegal intrusion methods.

Like what......

In the program of the Shelter, there is a hidden code that says: "In the event of the death of the manager or voluntary abdication of duties, the managers of other shelters will automatically obtain the management authority of the shelter after meeting certain conditions." ”

The drone reappeared on the screen, and the hummingbird drone returning to the assembly point was back under the control of the terminal.

Xiaoqi: "Master, do you want to keep up?" ”

Chu Guang shook his head.

"People are far away, and it doesn't make much sense to keep up."

Xiaoqi: "Woo......"

Listening to the pitiful voice of self-blame, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's enough to be able to test the reality of the other party."

Besides, he could probably guess where the other party was going.

To the north.

It's nothing more than to find someone from the Chewing Bone Tribe, and it can't be to contact the Great Rift Valley that the Eight Poles can't hit.

Previously, Chu Guang had seized a lot of Torch Church's neural connection equipment from those marauders' trucks, which was enough to prove that the Chewy Bone Tribe was supported by the Torch Church.

These rats can't run away!

Chu Guang picked up the tablet on the table and stuffed it into his pocket and got up from the sofa.

"Shout Yin Fang for me and ask him to wait for me at the elevator door."

Xiaoqi: "Okay master, are you going to go out?" ”

"Hmm," Chu Guang nodded as he walked over to the mirror and straightened his collar, "I'm going to take a trip to Vault 401." ”

……

Eastern District, Qingquan City.

A five-meter-long death claw with a collar around its neck was running rapidly across the ruins carrying a man and an iron lump.

"Why don't we take the car?"

"Tires can't wear through rubble, it's the fastest way to get there."

"I'd rather go slower, didn't we walk slowly last time?"

"Okay, no nonsense, my time is precious."

The two of them let out a grunt of dissatisfaction, but the deep threat made it dare not make a mistake, and could only vent its emotions on the concrete stones under their feet.

Straddled on the back of the death claw, Chu Guang felt like a dragon knight in heavy armor.

It's a pity.

This stupid lizard has no wings.

How about waiting for a chance to put a mechanical prosthetic on it?

Just when Chu Guang allowed his thoughts to diverge, the two of them had already arrived near the Third Ecological Park, and the natural deterrent power of the Claw of Death frightened the surrounding monkeys away.

Along the way, no xenos dared to come closer.

As for the nibblers, the day is not the time for them to be active.

At the sentry post near the ticket gate of the Third Ecological Park, two soldiers on duty with rifles on their backs cast awe-inspiring glances at Chu Guang, and gave a military salute with their right fists against their chests.

Worthy of the manager!

With the Claw of Death as a mount, I am afraid that there will be no second person to be found in this wasteland!

"Honorable Administrator!"

Carrying a coffin-like box on his back, Lao Bai, who was wearing a battle-damaged exoskeleton, stepped forward and said respectfully, "We have brought the fuel rods you wanted!" ”

"Good job, put it here."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly, jumped off the back of the Claw of Death, and gave Yin Fang, who was sitting in front of him, a hand.

His feet finally touched the ground, and Yin Fang, who was about to be torn apart, didn't stand firm and almost fell.

Niko let out a loud snort, as if mocking, but after being taught a lesson by Chu Guang, the lizard quickly became honest and put its head on the ground aggrievedly.

Lao Bai looked at this guy in surprise.

Is this the deathclaw that nearly wiped them out?

It's become a manager's mount.

"Your mission has been accomplished, and on behalf of the Alliance, I thank you for your contributions!"

"Let's go back and get some rest!"

The index finger swiped in the air, and Chu Guang settled the task for Yin Fang to the members of the Niu Ma team.

Looking at the jumping numbers on the VM settlement interface, the faces of the five players were full of surprise.

In the last link of the task chain, in addition to the basic income of 1300 silver coins and 500+ contributions per capita, there are also 1200 silver coins and 200 contribution side rewards.

It's so cool!

Looking at the excited looks of the players, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile on his face.

Tens of thousands of silver coins can buy a fuel rod.

His little players are just so easy to use!

It would be better if they were willing to sell the silver coins they got cheap to the lifestyle professional players to invest in production and expand exports.

Or go out and buy some good stuff and come back.

Of course.

How to play this game is their own business.

What Chu Guang wants to do now is to reclaim the soil for the fresh little leeks to grow, so that more players have the opportunity to come here to work for him.

Chu Guang opened the box and looked at it, covered the box and carried it in his hand, and then looked at Yin Fang, who had just come off Niko's back.

"I'll leave it to you after that."

After a bumpy ride, Yin Fang's legs and stomach were still trembling, and he said with a sad face.

"No problem...... Wait for me to slow down first, and I'm going to fall apart on this bumpy road. ”

Niko snorted mockingly, writing the word "weak" on her face.

But soon, the back of its head was hit by Chu Guang's lesson, and it fell to the ground aggrievedly, drooping its head and not daring to move.

"It will be convenient when the subway passage is opened in the future."

Chu Guang replied to Yin Fang casually, then took out half of the hairless hyena from the package behind the armor, threw it to Niko as a snack, and continued to give orders with the nerve connection device, telling it to wait for him to come back in place.

After doing this, Chu Guang took Yin Fang and the fuel rod and walked in the direction of the subway station.

Niko happily gnawed at the half-cut hyena on the ground, making a cheerful creaking and chewing sound, and the two NPC soldiers next to her looked at it nervously, unconsciously clenching the rifle in their hands.

The clanging chains always gave them a sense of insecurity, as if the animal would break free and pounce on them in the next second.

However, the Deathclaw did not seem to have any intention of doing so, and after gnawing on the bones, curled its tail in a circle, and lay on the doorway and took a nap.

This guy has been completely tamed.

Seeing the manager walk away, Ye Shi glanced at the balance on the VM again and couldn't help but swallow.

"If this is changed to an RMB......"

Even if the price goes down a bit.

It's tens of thousands!

"Can you have some interest," Fang Chang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's change some special products and get them to Boulder City to exchange chips, isn't it fragrant to upgrade a wave of equipment?" ”

There have always been live pro gamers on the forums in the cashier coins.

It costs money to form a caravan to expand production, either from NPCs or from combat pros.

Before, Fang Chang took advantage of the fall to pick up a lot of them.

When this task is completed, he plans to purchase some goods with his good brothers and transport them to Boulder City, and use the chips he earns to buy some equipment by the way.

At present, the trade route has just resumed, and at this time, everything can be sold to make money.

After a while, the trade routes will be developed and matured, and the information gap will become smaller and smaller, and it will be difficult for the profits to be as large as they are now.

The economic system of this game is affected by supply and demand, a real batch.

Ye Shi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and smiled.

I subconsciously calculated it...... By the way, when are we going to Boulder City? ”

"Just tomorrow, the tasks that can be done are basically done." Checking his VM, Lao Bai suddenly found that there was a small red dot on the icon of the corps system.

I clicked curiously, and after opening it, Lao Bai was surprised to find that the original lv0 level logo had become lv1.

Not only that, but there is also an additional property panel.

[ID: Burning Corps]

[Clan Level: Lv2 (+1 points can be distributed)]

【

Size: 2 (+10 recruitment cap per level)

Logistics: 2 (+10 Logistics Points per level)

】

[Doctrine: (not selected)]

In the past, the page of the corps system seemed to be a list and level, but now there is even a stats panel.

Is this a soft update?

Lao Bai didn't understand what these attributes meant after watching it for a long time, so he scratched the back of his head and said.

"Our corps seems to have been upgraded."

Hearing this, quitting smoking immediately came over excitedly.

"The Corps has been upgraded?! Let me see! ”

"Well, the number of recruits for the lv2 corps has been increased to 20, and one allocable point has been granted...... But I haven't figured out what this properties panel means. ”

The scale is easy to understand, referring to the estimated recruitment ceiling, and the logistics roughly means the budget? But he didn't understand much about this logistics point.

In the past, ammunition expenditures were budgeted in silver coins.

Will the logistics of the XPCC system be separated from the economic system in the future?

There's also the optional doctrine, which seems to cost points to level up as well.

Lao Bai opened it and took a brief look, it was basically divided into several categories, including the doctrine of light infantry, the doctrine of mobile warfare, the doctrine of firepower superiority, and so on.

In addition, there are some small subdivisions that mainly provide some buffs at the strategic level.

For example, the crowd assault under the Light Infantry doctrine is pointed out, and the recruitment limit is +100%.

After clicking on this branch, the recruitment limit equivalent to the increase of each [Scale Point] will directly change from 10 to 20, and at lv5, it will directly become a 100-person team!

Of course, the premise is that you can recruit so many players.

Smoking cessation staring at the corps level suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"Wait, isn't this the mission of the scientific expedition?"

Fang Chang knew what he wanted to ask, nodded and said.

"In team tasks, more than 4 people in the team are members of the same corps, and a certain percentage of corps merits can be obtained according to the contribution points after completing the task."

Merit points are the experience required for the advancement of the corps.

Quit smoking stunned.

"! After that, there are more people, wouldn't it be possible to brush up on experience?! ”

In the future, when I upgraded my skill points, I threw them all on the [scale], a corps of several hundred people, and a group of four people did the task, and the corps merit was not brushed up!

Fang Chang said with a subtle expression.

"The theory is this, after all, quantity is also a kind of power, but there is a difference between the benefits of tasks and tasks, and the rewards of tasks in the T0 echelon and those in the T3 echelon may even be an order of magnitude worse, and the overall efficiency may not be high."

After a pause, Fang Chang continued to look at Lao Bai, who was thinking about how to add some points.

"Let's not rush to add points yet, when the update announcement comes out, I'll study and study it."

turned off the interface, Lao Bai said with a smile.

"That's what I thought too!"

……

At the same time, the northern part of the city of Qingquan.

Dimmit, who had gradually left the territory of the new alliance, breathed a sigh of relief and continued to advance north with the remaining seven men.

The Snake Clan is at war with Red River Town, and the only one who can spare their hands to help them retake the Black Box is the Tooth Clan stationed in Xizhou City.

I don't know what happened, but after the group of marauders stationed in Xizhou City, their southward footsteps stopped.

At this moment, a group of figures suddenly appeared in the north, and they happened to meet them.

Dimmit involuntarily clenched the gun in his hand, but was quickly relieved when he saw the tattered outfits of those men.

It's just a bunch of homeless people.

"Are you going to kill them? They saw us. ”

Uren had opened the insurance and squeezed the sentence out between her teeth.

"There's no need to make any extrasistence, just see it, we're all here," Dimmit said with a reassuring look at him, "I know Ted's death makes you very uncomfortable, but killing these people won't bring the dead back to life." ”

"We have to save ammunition, they don't deserve it."

Letting the group of outcasts go, Dimmit narrowed his eyes as they were headed.

Wait.

He'll be back!
