"The taste of phenolic compounds...... It's kind of like kerosene, but it's not. After sniffing it for a while, the mosquito gave an uncertain assessment.

The soul chaser who was standing on the side suddenly spoke.

"Is it hydrazine?"

"It doesn't smell like ammonia, it shouldn't be."

The mosquito shook its head and immediately screwed the cap on.

Phenolic compounds are susceptible to oxidation in the air environment.

He couldn't determine the composition of this thing for the time being, and could only roughly infer that it should be an analogue of kerosene based on the viscosity and smell of the liquid.

But then again, this little bottle is still a little heavy-

Wait a minute.

Oil?!

The mosquito holding the glass bottle suddenly paused, and stood in place with a blank expression, as if its brain was down.

"Are you stuck?"

Seeing that the mosquito looked dumbfounded, he waved his hand, but found that this guy seemed to have dropped the line, and he didn't react at all.

"Is there a bug with this prop?"

The God of Killing muttered, and reached out curiously, wanting to take the glass bottle and take a look.

However, before his hand touched the bottle, the mosquito was like an electric shock, suddenly came back to his senses, and then rushed into the factory on the side without saying a word.

Although this guy is agile, he has never seen him run so fast.

Looking at the sudden movement of the mosquito brother, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"Evil?"

"Not really."

The soul chaser, which has a relationship between profession and chemistry, vaguely noticed something, and his expression became intriguing.

"Fuel ......"

"Fuel?" Persuasion frowned.

"Hmm......" Soul Chaser nodded, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and continued, "And eighty percent is the kind we're looking for." ”

……

Fields on the northern outskirts of Dawning City.

Pai, sitting under the mill, squinted comfortably as he looked at a green field in the distance, holding a bowl of shaved ice in his hand and blowing the oncoming breeze.

People walk on country roads with two oxen or work in the fields with farm tools. Laughing and playful children ran in the shade of the trees, and the roar of tractors in the distance.

This is a scene she has never seen before in Xizhou City.

It's hard to imagine that the war just ended a few days ago......

The little fish sitting on the steps next to it is the same, swinging its calves leisurely,

Happily digging into the shaved ice that rests on your knees.

Maybe it was because she was greedy to eat too fast, she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly, and a "woo" sound leaked out of her mouth.

"Damn...... My blood gauge is empty. The big white bear sitting not far away had an expression on his face that was easy for the bear to misunderstand.

"Ahaha......" The cat lady has a relaxed smile on her face, gently rubbing the fur of the big white bear.

Today is also a peaceful day.

Speaking of which, the war has only been over for less than a week.

If it weren't for the game, you wouldn't have been able to have such a relaxing vacation as you are now.

The tail sitting next to him touched his chin, and his wrinkled nose looked like he was smart.

Suddenly, she spoke.

"It's not scientific."

"Huh?" Sisi glanced at her.

Tail quickly turned his head to look at Siss, his eyes shining.

"Don't you think? The little fish of Ah Wei are getting more and more cute! ”

"You guy...... Speaking is becoming more and more dangerous. ”

Speechlessly, he looked away from his best friend, Sisi glanced at the small fish not far away, and suddenly understood why Tail suddenly said that.

I remember the first time I saw the little fish, the kind and well-behaved little girl, with a hint of obvious yellow in her hair.

As a medical student, she knew very well that it was a sign of zinc deficiency.

And now, that hair is an enviable jet-black shiny.

“…… I guess it's because of the improvement in nutritional status, after all, people are still developing. Sisi said thoughtfully.

Judging from the game setting, the citizens of the People's Union in the era of prosperity have embraced genetic modification technology and widely used it in medical beauty and other fields.

As long as the nutrition keeps up, people are normally above the level line, and even more so for the residents of the shelter.

So much so that she was a little numb when she saw handsome guys and beauties in reality.

"Oh! That is, will it grow up? Tail was pleasantly surprised.

Sisi was slightly stunned and nodded.

"It should ...... Yes. ”

NPCs grow over time.

If this logic is true, that is, as long as you play for enough time, sooner or later you will be able to see the little fish that grows into a royal sister?

Ah......h

It's too real.

"Well, that tail too?!"

"Uh, if you don't die all the time?" Looking at the expectant tail, Sisi nodded again, but his tone was a hint of uncertainty.

As soon as he heard this, his tail suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

Looking at the windmill slowly spinning overhead, she let out a long sigh.

"Damn! It's also too hard. ”

Siss: "......"

The field was filled with the sound of frogs and cicadas.

In the river valley in June, there is already a hint of heat in the air.

In the past, in order to make artificial rainfall, the factory of the new alliance made a differential pressure refrigerator, and later the chemical plant made the refrigerant "difluoromethane".

Thanks to this invention.

Today, the industrial zone of the new alliance is able to produce refrigerators in-house.

Although it is still a long time before these appliances enter every household, smart little players have already brought a lot of ice-related delicacies into the game.

Like shaved ice drizzled with jam, milk-flavored popsicles, and popsicles...... A large number of cold delicacies appeared on the streets of the north of Dawning City, and the eyes of merchants and travelers who came and went here were also eye-opening.

It's not like nowhere else there is none of these things.

But rarely is it as "complete" as it is here.

And the most incredible thing for them is that this is actually a delicacy that ordinary people can enjoy!

This is the most incredible......

“…… I heard Brother Chu say that in two months, the scene here will be even more spectacular. Recovering from the ice headache, the little fish happily stuffed another bite into his mouth.

At that time, the plain north of Linghu Lake will turn into a golden wave.

Listening to Xiaoyu's words, a hint of longing was written in Pai's aqua blue eyes, but it quickly turned into melancholy.

"Two months...... It's not like you're going to have to wait a long time. ”

It's only been two days, but she's already loved it.

There are endless delicacies, endless scenery, endless stories and endless books, and all kinds of interesting people.

Of course, the guys at Camp are all nice people, but everyone is working on what interests them.

No one has ever spent a leisurely afternoon with her like today.

Friendship.

This word, which she had only seen in books, did not expect to be so beautiful.

However, the thought of going back in a few days made Pai feel the annoyance that the vacation was coming to an end.

Looking at Pai, who had a somewhat melancholy expression, Xiaoyu tilted his head.

"Two months will pass quickly."

"Hmm...... That being said. ”

Staring at the shaved ice in his hand, Pai was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

"Little fish."

The little fish blinked.

"Huh?"

Pai made up her mind to speak.

"Do you want to ...... Go to school? ”

"Going to school?" Xiao Yu tilted his head and said, "You mean night school?" Brother Chu said, there is not much to teach me there. ”

The night school mainly teaches arithmetic and human language, and the main purpose is to eliminate illiteracy, and it will not teach things that are too difficult. Under the guidance of Brother Chu, she has taught herself algebra, geometry, and statistics.

According to Brother Chu, she has been able to go to school as a teacher and teach classes to children.

Pai shook her head and looked at her earnestly.

"It's not that kind of school, it's about learning more powerful knowledge."

She had visited the New Alliance's evening school, where classes were taught at the school in Camp No. 3 at most.

It's not just industry that's lagging behind, but the level of education is also quite worrisome.

Looking at the serious Pai, a trace of confusion appeared on Xiaoyu's face.

"More powerful knowledge is ......"

"It can make the windmill above our heads spin faster, let the car in the field run farther, so that people don't have to sit in the car, they can sit on the sofa in the living room, blow the cold wind to plough millions of acres of fertile land, and then spend the whole day with their families......"

Pai described what he had seen in VR footage.

From farmland, to factories, to people's squares and parks, theaters and schools.

Although she hadn't really seen that era, neither did the people at the camp, but her master had told her that if they could pass on the information about that era, one day people would remember their pride and get back what they had lost.

The little fish sitting next to him listened carefully.

Although she always felt that it sounded like a dream, she was originally at the age of dreaming, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of longing.

"Sounds so powerful......"

"Right? Although the knowledge we have is only a small part, it is also a very powerful thing! Pai cocked the tip of her nose slightly smugly, and continued in an old-fashioned manner, "As long as you study hard, this day will not be far away. ”

"But...... Can I really? Xiaoyu whispered.

"You can! Believe me! Pai reached out lightly and touched her forehead, "I can feel it...... You possess a rare trait similar to the inhabitants of the Vault, though not at all in nature. ”

Xiaoyu: "...... Idiosyncrasy? ”

Pai nodded.

"Have you noticed that you have a special gift for language and arithmetic?"

"Brother Chu has praised me, saying that I learn quickly......"

Being touched on the head, Xiao Yu's cheeks were slightly red, and he ducked back embarrassedly, and continued in a low voice, "But how do you know?" ”

"That's what I'm talking about!"

Pai looked at her and continued with a serious expression.

"Occasionally, we recruit new people who are young and have different brain structures. The average person needs minutes to think about the problem, they only need seconds. The knowledge that ordinary people need to learn in years, they can master it in just one month! ”

"We will teach them the knowledge and help them develop their talents, just as the pioneers of the Vault did to our fathers."

Even without the help of the 'Enlightenment Chip', they still have an amazing level of mental power with their own talents.

"For what happened to them, they called it—"

"The Awoken!"

Xiao Yu held his breath slightly, his big bright eyes full of surprise and confusion.

I......

Have the traits of the Awakened?

To be honest, she doesn't have much pursuit of ability or anything, and her current life is very satisfying for her.

As for learning.

On the one hand, it's because of the fun.

On the one hand, Brother Chu told her that she could help everyone by doing this, and she also wanted to help him from the bottom of her heart and share some work for him.

If you can learn more powerful knowledge......

Seeing that Xiaoyu was still hesitating, Pai couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Valley]

However, just as she was about to step up her efforts and abduct the little fish away, a suspicious cry came from not far away.

"Big guy!! Please take my knees! ”

"Huh?! What is this?! ”

Seeing the strange man suddenly burst out of nowhere and pounce on his thigh, the frightened Pai reflexively jumped to the side, not understanding what the man was saying.

It wasn't until the big white bear held the man down that she saw that the person who was pressed to the ground was actually the rude person she had met in the industrial area yesterday.

"Gan! Are you trying to crush me?! Let go of me, I have made meritorious contributions to the Alliance, I have shed blood for the managers! "The mosquito, held down by one of the claws of the flesh, bared its teeth and roared on the ground.

"You, you guy, don't mess around...... Be honest! Looking at the mosquitoes moving around, the flesh was a little flustered, and when the whole bear sat on it, the mosquitoes rolled their eyes instantly.

"Oh! Becoming too much has been subdued! Don't worry about leaving the rest to the tail! He gave a clean thumbs up, and a smile on his tail smiled at his face.

Xiao Yu had a helpless expression on his face, and he didn't understand the situation at all.

"Anyway, even if it's an attempted crime, it's enough to go to heaven," looking at the mosquitoes on the ground with cold eyes, Si Si's face showed a dark smile, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Looking at the mosquito that was about to breathe, Sesame Paste stepped forward with some concern and said.

"Could it be some misunderstanding? Let's let him go. ”

Even if convicted, that's the guard's business.

Finally realizing that the mosquito was about to drop, the flesh quickly spread his hand and got up from him.

"Ahem...... Thank you, I almost died unjustly. Taking a big breath of fresh air, the mosquito looked at the kind cat lady with a grateful face.

However, what hit him deeply was that Sesame Paste subtly dodged backwards with a subtle expression.

“…… I didn't say you were wronged. ”

"Damn! All right...... I apologize first, I'm sorry! I was really impulsive! It bothers you! No offense, I just wanted to express ...... The surprise in my heart. ”

The mosquito took a deep breath, looked at the frightened Pai, and sincerely apologized in the unskilled human language.

After listening to the mosquito's explanation, Pai finally understood what was going on, and then nodded suddenly.

"It's okay, it's okay, adults don't remember villains!"

"Well, although I can understand that your admiration for me is indescribable, please don't do such a misleading thing next time!"

Although he said this sentence with a generous attitude, the tip of his nose that couldn't help but was violent. revealed the smugness in her heart.

Flesh raised his bear paw and scratched his head.

"I see."

“emmm…… Although the behavior is still very changeable, such an explanation is reasonable. Sis nodded.

In the game, everyone's performance may indeed be a little unrestrained, just like the tail, obviously a quiet girl in reality, but the inventory of emojis is unfathomable.

But since the person has forgiven him, so be it.

Everyone's expressions relaxed, but Ah Wei let out a regretful "sigh", as if he was regretting that he couldn't be a police officer once.

Looking at Pai gratefully, Mosquito continued in an excited tone.

"I have a request! Can you help me? ”

"Uh-huh! Go ahead. Pai nodded triumphantly.

She loves the feeling of being a teacher the most.

Just as everyone relaxed their vigilance, the mosquito took out the empty glass bottle, stared at her eagerly, and spoke incoherently excitedly.

"That...... Holy! Can you give me a little more? ”

"Huh?"

The tail tilted his head, not understanding.

Si Si, who was standing next to him, was stunned for two seconds, stared at the translation on the VM for confirmation, and silently pressed the shortcut button for the two words in the upper right corner.

“…… Anyway, call the police first. ”

……

Cattle and horse club group.

In order to take care of the good brothers who were still soaking in the training cabin, Lao Bai and Fang Chang deliberately went offline and reported the latest progress in the game.

Fang Chang: "Just now we received a task from the administrator, the goal is to escort NPC Luca to Boulder City and sign a friendship agreement with the director of the Boulder City Council. Not surprisingly, this task should be related to the next release. ”

The main story of the company is mainly driven by "player behavior", "special events" that are suspected of being planned, and "exclusive missions" issued by faction leaders.

Although all interested players will be able to see the full story, and the official website will also update the story content in real time, there are not many opportunities to participate in the main game as a plot promoter.

A lot of tasks are unique.

And this is also the reason why most players are keen to contribute and brush "favorability".

4Who understands v: "If you don't understand, just ask, why don't you just knock down Boulder City?" ”

When Brother Ye Ao was still in the group, he had heard of this game, and he had been keeping up with the progress, but he was too lazy to make an appointment.

This is not unusual.

Even if it's money, it's not possible for everyone to like it, let alone the game.

He prefers to listen to his friends brag about it rather than playing games.

Lao Bai: "If you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and if you are warlike, you will die." It's farming and adventure time, and after almost two months of street fighting, it's time to take a break. ”

Fang Chang: "Well, in fact, from the perspective of the game background, it is also difficult to fight, the new alliance is considered an orderly camp, Boulder City is probably neutral, and the marauders and mutant tribes are considered chaos." ”

"With the situation in the wasteland, the flame of civilization can be extinguished at any time, and the possibility of a faction war between the orderly and neutral camps is not impossible, but the probability is very small. Unless the planner is really out of work, replace the hammer for the manager with a sword, or make a big news out. ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Lordaeron's filial son is okay." ”

Night Ten: "Huh? Why did you run down too? Blew up again? ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Fuck off!" I'll just come down and get a tuba. ”

Of course, he was embarrassed to say this kind of thing.

The photos and recordings are all there, and the mosquitoes who are speechless simply admit the punishment.

Anyway, it's only two hours, just come down for a supper, and by the way, think about how to lick that fuel recipe.

No way, that bottle of fuel is just awesome!

Stable, strong thermal stability, low temperature and excellent fluidity, suitable density and high calorific value!

Not only can it be burned continuously and completely, but it also produces almost no carbon deposits and coking...... The disadvantages are almost negligible, and the advantages he cannot count on two hands.

Isn't this black technology?

It's just a hanging, okay!

As for why the mosquitoes dropped the line, everyone didn't ask much, after all, the similar situation is not once or twice.

Fang Chang continued typing.

“…… Anyway, that's the basic situation, we set off in an hour, and we will be back online immediately, and we will contact you when we get to Boulder City. ”

Quit smoking: "Envy cries!" tat”

Tempest: "Remember the video. ”

Lao Bai: "The wandering servant is worth the bald coal." ”

"Gan!"

It's so angry that you can't play the game!

After replying to a message, Ye Wei rolled his eyes and threw his phone on the table.

However, at this moment, a message suddenly popped up from the screen, and he had to pick up the phone again.

"Brother, do you want to consider the existing house of Greentown Mansion?"

The person who sent the message was the intermediary he had just added this afternoon.

Immediately afterward, five photos were thrown over in a row.

Ye Wei took a look, the environment is really good, the only drawback is that it is on the riverside, a little far away from the school.

But it doesn't matter.

It's a big deal to live on campus from Monday to Friday, and live outside on Saturday and Sunday.

Ye Wei edited a message and went back.

"Yes."

It was probably a group message, and there was a pause on the other side.

A few seconds later, a message came.

"Uh, brother, what do you mean?"

The intermediary was a little unsure.

It's not that his business ability is not good, but he just looked at the customer's circle of friends, and it can only be said that it is too low-key.

No matter how you look at it, you're a student!

"Show me tomorrow morning." Ye Wei didn't want to explain, so he replied to a message concisely, and then turned off the message reminder.

In order to alleviate the "withdrawal reaction", he repeatedly turned on and off the screen of his mobile phone several times, and finally resisted the urge to log in to the official website forum and casually opened the scarf that he hadn't logged in for several months.

I wanted to watch funny videos to pass the time, but at this moment, he clicked on the hot search list and suddenly found that the first place was not the star's parents.

Even three in a row are saying the same thing.

“…… A major breakthrough in lithium battery technology? ”

Reading it out in a whisper, Ye Wei couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, so he clicked in and took a look.

The first thing that catches your eye is the video of the central network.

"Recently, the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a breakthrough in the research of the 'lithium dendrite problem', according to the analysis of industry insiders, the problem is an important bottleneck hindering the research of lithium anode batteries......"

The narration ends, and the camera pans.

Facing the reporter's interview, Academician Liu Yiping said with emotion.

"It's a shame that we've only made a small contribution, and it's hard to deserve such an honor! The reason why so much progress has been made is mainly thanks to the help of the partners and the full support of all sectors of society and the state......"

Academician Liu's wording is very modest and rigorous, and he roughly introduces the fields involved in the research from the perspective of popular science.

After interviewing Academician Liu, the reporter then turned the camera to the industry, the chief manufacturing officer of a well-known battery company.

It is different from Academician Liu's modesty and calmness.

Although the performance of this industry person in front of the camera is quite restrained, it can be seen from the red light on his face how excited he is at the moment.

It's like pressing the national football team to win money.

“…… This will be a milestone event in the new energy industry! It's no exaggeration to say that our lives will be turned upside down! ”

Although Ye Wei couldn't quite understand what he was saying.

But from the expression on the man's face, he could roughly feel the shock of this new technology to the industry.

The video was too long, Ye Wei didn't watch it all, but went directly to the comment area.

It was a surprise to him.

Hundreds of thousands of comments, and millions of likes, actually saw in a piece of news in the field of scientific research.

"Awesome!"

“！”

"Damn, won't my phone be able to be charged once a week?!"

"The power battery of my new energy vehicle is only wh/kg...... Breaking through the triple digits means, wh/kg?! ”

"Be confident, it should be at least!"

"The tiny work is okay, the big guy is too modest!"

"What is that cooperative unit? It always feels so mysterious! ”

"+, I didn't show up at all during the interview."

"+, those who don't show their faces will be treated as relevant departments."

Brushing through the comment area of the news, Ye Wei was also full of emotion in his heart.

I didn't expect the changes that would affect the world, and UU reading did not appear in a vigorous form.

But on an uneventful night, when he took off his helmet and picked up his phone, people's lives had quietly changed.

When everyone is aware.

The future is here.

After reading the analysis of a certain big V in the forward, how the thin layer of artificial SEI film will affect the national energy strategy and the global energy pattern, Ye Wei couldn't help but admire.

"Cow!"

These bigwigs are too strong!

Although he rarely pays attention to hot news, and his major has nothing to do with batteries, he can't help but feel proud and proud when he hears that the country has made significant progress in the field of scientific research.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Advanced production technology is the wealth of the whole society.

When the social productive forces complete the qualitative change from quantitative to qualitative changes, every individual in the society will usher in a new version.

It's a pity that he's not the material for research.

I can only give a thumbs up to those bigwigs who have paid silently.
