Chapter 346: Aviation Fuel is a Big Problem
Official website forum.
The members of the Niuma squad who went offline in advance chatted in the gossip section.
The reason is that the night ten brothers in the official website announcement under the reply, accidentally seen by acquaintances, in order to justify that he was not given in vain, but because the map difficulty design is too outrageous, he opened a post in the gossip section, describing how dangerous the situation was at that time.
Just as Night Ten was talking about how thousands of drones had trapped them in the building, and how he fought and retreated to cover the evacuation of his teammates, the ID of Tempest suddenly popped up in the post.
Tempest: "I was thinking about whether it would be too boring for you to come down alone, but I didn't expect you to blow it on the official website." (Squint)"
The Tyrannosaurus warrior has blackened: "Hahaha! Lao Tzu knew it was fake! ”
Yes, a little rebellion: "I expected it!" None of these Europeans are reliable! ”
The post was swiped by a laughing reply below.
Although ninety percent of the people who poured water on the forum had never entered the game, it did not prevent them from making a fuss.
These abominable Emperors!
Eat me a spear!
Of course, Night Ten ignored the ridicule of cloud players, and with a move of his index finger, he changed the display setting to "only browse the replies of closed beta players".
This is a new feature developed by Brother Guang in previous versions.
The world was instantly clear.
Night Ten continued typing as if nothing had happened.
"Damn?! Wind? Why did you come down too? ”
Tempest: "After recovering the VMs that fell feather, we were about to return the way we came, but as we left the building, we encountered a large number of evolutionary ......"
Tempest gives a brief description of the situation.
Shortly after they left the building, more than a dozen eye-induced bipedal robots targeted them.
Although the weapon system of these robots has been paralyzed, the mutant slime mold has given them a new weapon, the Touch. Hand.
Then there are the "snails" that use the maglev car as a snail shell in the middle of the road, and the "mud monsters" that look uglier than Zack fill the entire alley.
In comparison, what a nibder, a creeper is simply weak!
It's the same as those "slime version drones".
The combat mode of most slime fruiting entities can be summarized into three stages: "Rush to the target", "melee hand-to-hand combat", and "Eating Organ Biting".
Some evolutionary organisms with maternal characteristics are able to assimilate "heretics" into their own units by injecting spores into the bodies of "heretics".
Very few xenos rely on "corrosive liquids" or "self-detonation" to damage their targets, but most of these xenos exist in the form of traps and are very mobile.
These ways of fighting may sound primitive, but it is this primitive way of fighting that causes great problems for the squads deep within the Third Ring Road.
The vitality of the slime bacteria xenomorph itself is ridiculously strong, and the HP is more than one zero more than the player.
After merging with the high-tech products of the Age of Prosperity, those "evolutions" gained powerful hard protection capabilities and a way of maneuvering beyond ordinary things.
And this also led to the fact that those evolutionaries were all like source force warriors, and their combat effectiveness was ridiculously strong.
“…… Anyway, luckily we didn't run into a power-armored freak like the Rotten Knight, and we rushed to the extraction point as soon as we recovered the quest items. ”
"However, there was an accident on the way back, and the athletic ability of the Department of Intelligence was really weak...... Well, that's the basics. ”
Compared with the exaggerated narrative style of Night Ten, the physics professor is still more reliable in speaking. It's just that for the specific cause of his death, Hurricane just downplayed it and refused to go into details.
Luo Yu: "Bang, it's miserable." ”
Night Ten: "Then your manipulator ......"
Tempest: "I asked Fang Chang to cut off my arm." ”
Night Ten: "Awesome! ”
It's a basic operation, but being able to say this kind of thing with a calm face is also strong in a sense......
At this moment, the quit smoking ID suddenly popped up
"Good guys, it's okay for you all to talk about hundreds of floors!"
Night Ten: "Damn! Why did you come down from the physique department? ”
Quit smoking: "Hey, don't mention it. Lao Tzu touched the corpse with his hand, but the thing didn't cool down, and it swooped over, and I was gone! ”
Tempest: "......"
Quit smoking: "Ahem, don't worry...... Lao Bai and Fang Chang should be fine, we were not far from the evacuation point at that time. ”
Tempest: "Hey, I'm not very demanding...... As long as there is one person alive. ”
Tempest, who has always been silent, couldn't help but pray for his teammates this time.
It doesn't matter what experience you have, but the equipment must not explode.
Diligence and thrift are traits shared by every Wasteland Online player.
It's not that players don't want to spoil it, it's that they don't have that condition.
Mass-produced goods such as the LD-47 assault rifle are fine, but if they are broken, they can buy one, but some weapons with the [rare] or even [special] prefix don't know where to buy them when they explode!
In the case of dog planning, considering the risks of the mission, deciding whether to use valuable equipment is also a part of the game.
The post quickly skewed up.
Seeing that the combat power of the whole server T0 has been abused so badly by the xenomorphs in the Third Ring Road, the players and cloud players in the post started a new debate.
Is the future of the version "genetic enhancement" or "mechanical ascension"......
……
While the discussion in the post was hot, the two surviving members of the Cow Horse Squad finally returned to Dawning City under the escort of the fringe brothers and their teammates.
The results this time were quite amazing.
The Niuma team not only brought back the VM of the missing pilot, the tissue samples of the mutant slime mold in the third ring road of Qingquan City, but also brought back a large number of illustrated books and wreckage of evolutionary objects!
Especially the latter.
It can not only enrich the setting set of the official website of "Wasteland Online", so that cloud players can eat more cakes, but also provide a lot of research materials for the scientific research team.
The remains of those evolutionaries are like living fossils.
They use their bodies to record the form of high-tech products and the way they work in the era of prosperity.
This is undoubtedly a huge help for a new consortium that relies on archaeology for its research!
Since Yin Fang was repairing fuel rods in Xizhou City, people couldn't come back for the time being, so Chu Guang temporarily sent these samples to the medical laboratory and handed them over to Heya for study.
On Yin Fang's side, Chu Guang asked him to help analyze the data of the pilot VM.
Regarding Luo Yu's crash, Chu Guang always felt a little strange.
Especially according to the description of the pilot himself on the forum, it convinced him of the speculation in his heart.
That glider didn't crash because of an accident.
It was shot down by something......
Without waiting for a long time, Yin Fang quickly completed the analysis of the data.
In the communication channel, he spoke.
"You've guessed it, that little plane of yours was indeed shot down, and it was taken down by weapons like EMP."
EMP?!
Just that glider made of wood?
The expression on Chu Guang's face was full of weirdness.
Be reasonable.
In the case of the plane made of mosquitoes, the structure could not be simpler.
Except for the battery and a few instrument clusters that are a little bit more tech-friendly, the rest of the components are almost as electronic as possible.
As we all know, in the absence of anti-electromagnetic pulse protection, the smaller the electronic device, the stronger the killing effect of the electromagnetic pulse.
For the "big brother" as thick as a brick and the old-fashioned radio, the effect of the electromagnetic pulse is quite limited.
Not to mention the wooden planes designed by the Mosquito.
"Are you sure you read that right?"
"I'm sure, and I'm pretty sure, if I can get even the data written in the 'black box' wrong, I've lived for nothing for more than 20 years."
After a pause, Yin Fang continued, "Although it sounds strange, judging from the data traces of the VM, the time of the EMP encounter is almost the same as the time of the strong impact."
"It is reasonable to speculate that the electromagnetic pulse caused the failure of the signal positioning element of the VM, and due to the poor visibility of the environment, the pilot lost his judgment of the direction, and eventually crashed."
“…… That's in the past. Chu Guang's face was written with a hint of solemnity.
If the cause of the crash was an EMP attack, there are only two possibilities left.
Either it's an evolution within the Third Ring Road, or it's the old iron of Boulder City who brushed him with a rocket.
The latter is highly unlikely.
After all, using electromagnetic pulse weapons to hit modern equipment is equivalent to using nuclear bombs as fireworks.
And it doesn't necessarily work.
But if it's an evolution......
Chu Guang really couldn't imagine how those mutant slime molds did it.
Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Yin Fang continued to talk about his opinion.
“…… To be honest, I'm getting more and more impressed with those pesky slime molds. Whether it's the parasites on Bucky's body, or the power armor and tanks that appear in the waves, the learning ability and environmental adaptability shown by those slime molds even make me feel a ......"
Speaking of this, Yin Fang was frozen for a moment, as if he was thinking about what words were more appropriate.
Chu Guang could probably guess what he wanted to say, but he still asked.
"One of a kind or what?"
"A ...... They fit the feel of the planet better than we do. ”
After a pause, Yin Fang continued in an uncertain tone.
"Didn't you notice? We're archaeology, they're archaeology, and they're doing archaeology, in a very different way than we do, but in fact they're drawing nourishment from our ancestors. ”
"The first generation of evolutionaries also needs to rely on external objects to strengthen themselves. For example, the Decay Knight we encountered earlier is due to the armor that wraps around it. Although it is a little difficult to deal with, the number of power armor is limited, and solving one is one less. ”
"However, in the second generation, they no longer need to rely on external objects, but can derive their own copycat version of 'power armor' and reproduce on a large scale...... You should know what I'm talking about. ”
Chu Guang said thoughtfully.
"You mean 'tyrant'?"
The name that has changed the face of countless wasteland visitors.
In a one-on-one situation, even the Awakened can find it tricky. It is difficult for ordinary 7mm bullets to cause effective damage to it, and it can be dealt with with large-caliber light and heavy "riding guns" at medium and long distances, but there are almost no particularly effective means at close range.
Yin Fang on the other end of the communication channel nodded.
"Exactly!"
According to previous research in medical labs, tyrants can be seen as two fruiting entities.
The fruiting body on the inside resembles an infully developed eater, while the fruiting body on the outside is armor with self-healing properties.
Although the imitation is rather clumsy, there are many similarities that prove that the tyrant evolved after the "Rotten Knight".
“…… Tyrants are a prime example of this, and we can find a link between a corrupt knight and a tyrant at the same time between behavior, sociology, and biology. ”
"This huge 'hive' has evolved tens of thousands of evolutionary bodies, and in this way, the division of labor in society has been realized. Although their imitation of us is clumsy, it is only now, and historical experience tells us that the development of everything is from maturity to immaturity. ”
"I don't even dare to imagine what will be like in a century, what the third generation of evolutionaries will be like."
"Unlike mutants who have given up being human, they are becoming us, assimilating us, and trying to replace us."
Yin Fang sighed lightly.
"It's the most chilling ......"
……
Dawning City Industrial Zone, the factory of Goblin Technology.
Sitting on a pile of parts and blackboards, and his four self-taught "apprentices", they are still losing their hair for the tasks assigned to them by the manager.
If you want to push the limits of speed, you first have to solve the problem of the engine.
Ideally, it is directly vorticulated.
However, even the simplest structure of a turbojet has to include a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine.
The working temperature of fan blades and compressor blades is not harsh, and A3 aluminum alloy can be used directly, but turbine blades have to be particular.
Operating temperatures of thousands of degrees can make steel and titanium much weaker, so only nickel can be used.
However, even single-crystal nickel alloys are at risk of melting in a hot operating environment, so tiny internal channels and holes are often cast in the blades.
This is a complex process that not only requires the material itself, but also the casting process.
Fortunately, Plant 81 said that it could help find a way to solve the problem of engine blades.
It's unrealistic to get the MiG's engine out, but it's still possible to get a MiG's grandfather - "Ta183" to come out.
A sufficient number of long-range jet missiles – or jet aircraft – could give the new alliance at least a slight advantage in the air.
The help of friends is undoubtedly a happy event for Goblin Technology.
Being able to make the blades would have at least half the hassle they had with the turbojet engine.
However......
Before the mosquito had time to rejoice, it immediately realized a more serious problem than the engine.
They don't have fuel!
In reality, there are many space fuel options to choose from.
However, this is a wasteland.
The new alliance's oil is mainly produced on kamu tree plantations, but this biomass oil is too "light" and lacks highly branched isoparaffins.
It is no problem to use it as an industrial raw material, after all, the demand for isoparaffins in New Alliance Industry is not too harsh. As for processing into general fuel, it is acceptable, after all, even if this thing is not processed, it can be lit with an atomizer.
Aviation fuel, however, is not so easy to fool.
The most critical component of jet fuel is the multi-branched isoparaffin, followed by a series of issues such as sulfur content and impurities.
Even if the calorific value and density requirements for the fuel are reduced, there is no process for refining biomass oil into jet fuel at all.
Because in reality, there is no such thing as a "kamu tree", and there is no place to copy homework if you want to.
Biomass oil itself belongs to the frontier field of energy conservation and emission reduction research, although the "phased results" and PPT are more than a cow's hair, but I have not heard of any can replace oil fields with oil crops, and solve the problem of carbon emissions and industrial raw materials at the same time.
Oil grown from the ground?
And this good thing?!
If only there was such a thing in reality.
The whole world is going crazy!
Just when the crowd couldn't come up with a solution, the soul chaser suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence.
"Or ...... Let's try solid fuel? Like burning coal? ”
Sitting next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You mean Lipsch P13A?"
The Killing God said excitedly.
"Cow, brother! I've seen that thing! ”
Although in the game.
The man sitting next to him shook his head and picked up the chalk from the ground.
"Less, that thing is a ramjet, right?"
As he spoke, he simply drew a structural diagram in the blank space of the blackboard, which seemed to be simpler than a vortex jet.
But only a little.
"This thing is still a concept so far, although it has now been turned out for research and blown into a breakthrough point for N-times the speed of the vehicle. However, the problem of thermal barriers has not been solved, and the insufficient calorific value of fuel is also a big problem. As for the P13A...... That thing is a drawing machine, and it has never been on the battlefield, so it's a mystery whether it has been made or not. ”
The mosquito gave him a strange look.
"Didn't you work at a drone factory?"
Persuaded to smile embarrassedly.
"Hey, hobby...... What's the matter, your family also runs a furniture factory. ”
The mosquito rolled its eyes.
"I really opened a furniture factory."
Persuaded to fight, said with a smile.
"I didn't say you weren't."
Although the problem was still not resolved, the atmosphere of the discussion was still lively.
Even if many of them are unrealistic, it is better than watching time pass in silence.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Mosquito gets up and walks over and opens the door, but it's an NPC guard standing in the doorway.
Seeing this black uniform, the mosquito was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out a sentence of human union.
"We didn't do it."
The guard was also stunned, confused.
"What...... You didn't do it? ”
Noticing the confused look on the guard's face, the mosquito coughed in embarrassment.
"Nothing...... Get used to it, hehe. ”
Every time I was approached by the guards, it was not a good thing, either something blew up, or something burned.
He's almost reflexive.
The guard stared at the mosquito suspiciously for a moment, but didn't say anything, and handed over the package in his hand officially.
"Someone asked me to bring this package to you."
"A package for me? Who? Confused, the mosquito took the package.
"A little girl, how tall is it...... The hair was blonde, and she didn't leave her name, only to tell me to send this package to Goblin Tech. As he spoke, the guard roughly compared her height with his hand, about one meter five or six.
The mosquito immediately guessed who it was and said suddenly.
"Oh oh oh, is that Pai? Thank you! ”
"You're welcome."
After the package was delivered, the guards didn't stay here for long, and left after completing the tasks assigned by the manager.
The door closes.
The mosquito carried the package and proudly returned to his apprentices.
A gift from an NPC!
Of course, you have to show off at this time!
Sure enough, the four animals found what he was holding, and the God of Killing was the first to come over and ask curiously.
"What are you holding?"
The mosquito smiled.
"Remember that little girl yesterday?"
Soul Chaser was surprised.
"Pai?"
The mosquito shook the package in his hand triumphantly.
"A gift for me."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they were shocked.
"?"
"Beast, you!"
The mosquito rolled its eyes.
"Fuck off! It's so vulgar! Can't you worship Lao Tzu's profound knowledge and want to worship me as a teacher? ”
The Killer retched.
"I threw up."
Too lazy to pay attention to this guy, the mosquito unpacked the package.
However, when he saw what was inside, the whole person was stunned.
I saw that the package contained a glass bottle filled with a clear liquid.
Holding it in his hand and looking at it for a while, the mosquito's expression was a little cloudy.
"What is this?"
Soul Chaser rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you very knowledgeable?"
"What the NPC gave you, should it be some kind of quest prop...... Why don't you take a sip? Said the persuasion.
To be honest, mosquitoes really have this intention.
But you always have to smell it before you drink it.
However, when he unscrewed the cap of the bottle and just put his nose over, the stench that penetrated his nostrils made his eyebrows twist into a ball in an instant.
"it!"
What stinks!
