Controlled fusion fuel rods!

And it is also made by Zhongzhou Aerospace, and the size of the refuge reactor matches!

Camp of the enterprise expedition, temporary warehouse.

Looking at the familiar fuel rod piled up in the C position of the trophy, a look of surprise flashed on Chu Guang's face.

I didn't expect them to get this kind of good stuff!

“…… We got it from an abandoned Zhongzhou Aerospace Research Institute, and we were going to go in and search for supplies, but we didn't expect to find it. Standing next to Chu Guang, Heding, who served as the logistics officer, said with a smile.

Chu Guang didn't answer, but walked forward quickly, pulled out the data cable from his VM and connected it to the reactor.

"Xiaoqi, help me see how much electricity is still in it."

An energetic answer came from the headset.

"Roger!"

As a stream of data flashed across the VM screen, the remaining energy was quickly presented in the pop-up dialog box.

63%！

Looking at this number, the look of surprise in Chu Guang's eyes became more and more obvious.

In the wasteland 200 years after the end of the world, it is even more difficult to find fuel rods with more than 50% energy remaining.

As for what is the use of this thing?

That's so useful!

Having fuel rods means that abandoned shelters can be restarted, which means he can open more sub-bases, and prepare more rookie villages for his little leeks - oh no, little players!

"Looks like you're happy with this thing." Helding said with a smile.

Chu Guang calmed down and calmly pulled the data cable back.

"I've lost 37% of my energy, but it's okay."

Heading almost choked on this, and was about to say something when the manager in front of him quickly skipped the topic.

"These are exoskeletons?"

Seeing Chu Guang looking at the pile of rags behind the fuel rods, Heading coughed dryly and nodded.

"Yes...... Got it from some of the attackers. ”

These exoskeletons are obviously broken, but not completely broken, to the extent that they can be repaired.

If it can't be repaired, some valuable parts and high-grade electronic components have been removed.

Judging by the appearance and labels, most of the models of these exoskeletons are "round shields" and "flints".

The former is a rift valley piece of equipment that features heavy hard armor, while the latter is a lightweight replica of the former, designed and produced by the Flint Group in the Free State of Bugra.

"You've run into the Rift Valley guys?" A hint of surprise appeared in Chu Guang's eyes.

Haddin shook his head.

"Their fighting qualities are very poor, they are just a bunch of marauders who happen to be armed with the same equipment. I guess they bought it from the Bugerra Freedom Gang, isn't it the famous black market in the Midlands? I've heard that I do everything. ”

A hint of surprise appeared in Chu Guang's eyes, and he asked with interest.

"Looks like you know a lot about this."

Hedin said as a matter of course.

"Isn't it common sense to investigate the local situation beforehand before you set off? Unfortunately, there is so little information about you. I only heard that this is a farm, so I brought some miner I exoskeletons, but I didn't expect to come here and find that the actual situation is completely different from what I heard. ”

"Half a year ago, this was indeed a farmstead, and now it is actually the same, and there is actually nothing wrong with your news......" Looking at the things in the warehouse, Chu Guang said in admiration, "I didn't expect you to pick up so many good things along the way." ”

It's like going to the rescue.

It's like going on a treasure hunt.

"Of course, our team has a limited load, and we won't carry anything that isn't good."

Heading teased and continued.

In fact, in addition to these exoskeletons, the KV-1 is the most common with poor functions...... Of course, the most common ones are the marauders with iron barrel rifles, but when they see our equipment, they generally don't come over to waste our bullets at all, they just hide far away, and wait for us to go up and clean up the battlefield after we are gone. ”

Chu Guangchu estimated the value of this pair of goods, although it was not as good as the good things they brought from Ideal City, it was also quite good.

The "Round Shield" should be able to repair more than 30 sets, and the "Flint" should be able to repair more than 100 sets.

Unlike the "Miner" series, these exoskeletons are designed for combat in their own right, and are supposed to be the "vanguards" worn by the soldiers of these companies.

As a local force that can withstand the pace of the expedition of the legion and the enterprise, the equipment of the Great Rift Valley still has a lot to offer, which is worth learning from.

Considering the cost of restoration, Chu Guang estimated the price of these things in the warehouse at 1.5 million silver coins.

In the New Union store, the money is enough to buy 1,500 tons of nutritional paste or 375 tons of corn.

Of course, this is talking about the retail price, and if it is at the wholesale price, whether you buy or sell is another matter.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Chu Guang just asked casually just in case, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Of course, there is more than that, there is also a special loot that we have in the warehouse next to it...... Come with me. ”

With that, Heiding turned and walked to the door.

For this kind of betrayal behavior, Chu Guang rolled his eyes behind his back, but still followed.

The door to another warehouse opens.

When he saw the iron bump standing in the warehouse, a touch of surprise quickly appeared in Chu Guang's eyes, and it quickly turned into a surprise.

"......"

Power Armor!

It turned out to be power armor!

The alloy cuirass protruding outwards emitted a cold light, and the silver-gray armor shell was faintly visible with faded numbers and digital camouflage livery.

It had a neat crack from its left shoulder to its armpit, as if it had been slashed by something.

And on his right shoulder, there is also a group of people printed -

[--Defeated]

Chu Guang: ?

Shouldn't it be a must-win in normal terms?

Not noticing the subtle change in expression on Chu Guang's face, Heding, who was standing on the side, introduced quite proudly.

"OD-10 power armor, codenamed 'Dragoon'! The standard equipment of the orbital airborne troops of the People's Union Aerospace Force. You can already guess what this thing is for. ”

There are two main categories of power armor installed by the People's Union Army, one is the land combat model, and the other is the air and space model.

The former emphasizes firepower and armor, while the latter emphasizes lightweight and mobility.

After all, the task undertaken by the latter is more to take the airdrop capsule and quickly break through the ground firepower network from high orbit to complete the deployment, and the volume and tonnage are too large and suffer a lot.

The OD-10 "Dragoon" falls into the latter category.

Compared to the sturdy T-10 "Champion" power armor, the lightweight design makes it look less bulky.

But even so, the heavy armor is not something that ordinary small arms can easily penetrate.

At least anti-armor armor-piercing shells!

After introducing the advantages, Heading slowed down his speech and volume and continued.

"But don't get excited, like those exoskeletons, this power armor is either aging or broken down except for the main structure, miniature reactor, and fusion battery—"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the reactor is good!" Chu Guang said indifferently.

Hutting glanced at Chu Guang in surprise, but he didn't expect it to be a knowledgeable person.

But think about it.

After all, it's the head of the blue coat, and it's still an old popsicle that came over 200 years ago.

It's not surprising to know anything about power armor.

“…… That's right, the most valuable miniature reactors and fusion batteries can still be used, and it's not a big problem to fix them elsewhere. Including that tear, it is perfectly feasible to weld the lump steel plate on it. ”

"It's not meant to be a tank alone anyway, and I don't think you're going to do that."

Power armor is the umbrella term for all nuclear-powered individual equipment.

The biggest difference between power armor and exoskeleton is precisely in the power source.

Exoskeleton power sources are mostly chemical batteries, while power armor is powered by fusion batteries, so it is possible to mount stronger armor and carry more powerful weapons.

This is why it is called "a tank that can drive into an alley" and "an infantry chariot that can climb buildings".

So, it doesn't matter if the armor is broken, as long as the most valuable miniature reactor is not broken, and the fusion battery inserted in it is fine, everything is fine!

Look broken?

Can that be called broken?

That's called the traces of history!

Make up a story with twists and turns and easily sell it for millions of silver coins!

Chu Guang didn't plan to use this thing himself.

The azure blue power armor on his body is more representative of his identity as a manager.

In addition, the protective performance of police power armor is not bad, and the protection ability of light weapons may be stronger than that of the "dragoon", but the mobility and firepower are slightly worse. If he is not at the forefront of the battlefield, he will not need these two items.

And the most important thing is that his power armor is almost ninety percent new, and he can't even find a scratch, so it's really unnecessary to change to a second-hand battle-damaged version.

Leave it to his cute little players!

"Where did you pick it up?" Recovering from his excitement, Chu Guang looked at Hitting and asked.

"That's a long story."

Heding's eyes fell into memory, and his tone took on a hint of complexity, or emotion.

"When we searched for information on the Trailblazer, we tracked down a distress message. The Helper claims to be a Vault dweller who has captured you by a group of marauders who ask him to restore this set of old antiques that he picked up from nowhere. ”

"Of course he won't fix it, but he's clever enough to fool the marauders and trick them into helping them collect parts for 'repairing power armor', and then use those parts to assemble a radio station that sends the coordinates of the marauders' lair and a distress signal."

"It's useless in general, but who wants us to see it, we can't watch civilized people being thrown into the oil pot by barbarians."

"Just as we're passing by the Vault, our captain is going to bring that hapless fellow to you. It didn't take much effort to take out the marauders with iron-barreled rifles, but ...... It's a pity that people didn't save it, only this power armor was found. ”

At this, the expression on Heding's face was rather regretful, and he tsked his tongue.

"He was hung in the doorway of the Marauder's Lair, and by the time we found him, he had been dead for days. The guy somehow the marauders, and he didn't want to know what had become of his corpse...... It would have been nice to hold on for another two or three days, we had intended to bring him to you. ”

"......" Chu Guang looked dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Regret is for sure, though.

Most of the residents of the shelter are highly educated, whether they are from the old popsicles of 200 years ago or the new generation of residents.

A prime example of this is Hea and the inhabitants of Vault 117, each of whom is an excellent "biologist" who has made a series of outstanding contributions to the study of the slime mold variant.

To let a bunch of uncivilized barbarians use those people is simply a loss for all of humanity!

Thinking that the manager in front of him was feeling sorry for his dead compatriots, Heading did not continue on the topic, but returned to the power armor.

"Including this power armor, and the previous loot...... If you're interested, I'll sell you 1,500,000 silver coins. ”

Hearing this number, Chu Guang didn't have time to be surprised, and said almost without thinking about it.

Gu Zheng

"Deal!"

The goods in the warehouse before, his psychological price is also this number.

Thinking about it this way, this set of power armor is equivalent to no cost!

Do you need to hesitate?

Under the rain, the shape of the seal, the night love overflows, like rain

"Don't worry," said Heading, smiling and pointingly, "this is a friendship price." ”

Seeing the expression on his face, Chu Guang immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, and an interested smile immediately appeared on his face.

"So...... How do I gain your friendship? ”

Edin glanced at the door, lowered his voice and continued.

"I have invested in a food processing factory in Yunjian Province, dedicated to providing the province and mercenaries with easy-to-carry self-heating food and a wide variety of canned food. But...... Not everyone can afford to eat what we produce, and it would be nice to have a fast food that is inexpensive, easy to cook, can be stored for a long time, and tastes good. ”

"The issue of supplies cannot be sloppy, it is not only about survival, but also about morale."

"Let's be honest, I'm interested in your instant pastry. You've said that it can be stored for a long time, is inexpensive, and doesn't require added preservatives, which sounds a lot more interesting than compressed biscuits...... Including the recipe for that hot pot, I want to learn it. ”

Looking at those fiery eyes, Chu Guang was slightly stunned, but he almost didn't laugh out loud in his heart.

Is this an exchange of instant noodles for power armor?

However, he did not write the faux puff on his face, but pretended to think about it for a long time.

“…… Is our friendship a one-time thing, or is it long-term? ”

Hearing Chu Guang's words, Heding immediately assured.

"Of course it's long-term, you and I are not insatiable people, and long-term business can go on forever, isn't it?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"No problem! When it dawns tomorrow, I'll have someone take you to our factory to take a look! ”

Of course, he didn't think a promise could carry much weight, especially if it was a mercenary businessman who made the promise.

But as a good salesman, he can't let his customers feel like he's losing money.

After all, whether it's instant noodle cake or hot pot base, it may take some time to think about it, but it's definitely not a complicated thing.

I hope that when I visit the factory tomorrow, this Mr. Heeding will not be too surprised......

……

In order to help these friends who came from afar to solve their problems, Chu Guang was busy from morning until the sun went down, and he didn't rest much throughout the day.

However, in contrast to the effort, the harvest of this whole day is also quite gratifying.

In addition to the pre-war power armor, the exoskeleton of the Great Rift Valley, and the fuel rod with 63% of the remaining energy, Heding also persuaded Yun Song to leave five logistics personnel behind to help them build the G9 assault rifle accessories and ammunition production line.

This meant that Chu Guang not only received all the loot from the Ideal City to the River Valley Province, but also that the loot that Yun Song had obtained before returning to the Ideal City would also be sent to the New Alliance for silver coins first.

And Chu Guang took these loot, which could be sold to players to recover silver coins, or sold to neighbors to earn foreign exchange.

As for the production line of weapons and ammunition "aided" by the enterprise, it is equivalent to picking it up for nothing!

In addition, these friends who came from afar would also pay 500 silver coins per day for the medical expenses of the 20 wounded.

This fee includes regular injections of inhibitors and three meals a day.

Until they were picked up in their own people.

10,000 silver a day, 300,000 a month, Chu Guang wished they lived here for a year.

Although this is not possible......

After dinner, Chu Guang returned to the shelter alone.

Boss Xia and Xiaoyu went to school, Yin Fang was in Xizhou City, Heya stayed in the medical laboratory all day in retreat, Chu Guanghuan glanced at the empty browsing room, and felt strangely deserted.

At this time, a pleasant sound suddenly floated from an ornament on the table.

"Master, if you feel lonely, Xiaoqi can accompany you."

Chu Guang replied skillfully.

"Okay."

Xiaoqi: "Woo woo, it's so perfunctory!" ”

Chu Guang: "That...... Okay? ”

Xiaoqi: "Hehe, although it sounds fake, it feels much better!" ”

Chu Guang: "......"

Although it's barely a good idea, will this guy be a little redundant in intelligence?

Looking at the shy figure covering his face, Chu Guang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, walked to his retro-style laptop and sat down.

Speaking of which, I haven't played a game in a long time.

While thinking about whether to relax for a while, Chu Guang's hand holding the mouse unconsciously clicked on the forum.

Sure enough, in his subconscious, it was "Wasteland OL" that he designed himself to be a little more fun.

Although the Alliance has been in a period of steady development since the end of the war, and he hasn't been in the game for a while, players have been actively discovering a lot of fun in places he didn't expect.

Some players followed the caravan on an adventure to the distant province of Nishikikawa, bringing the southern jungles and basin plains back to the Forum, while others ran to the north to the Free State of Bugra and met the legendary Sin City.

Some players even fell in love with passerby NPCs.

However, Chu Guang was very skeptical that they could hold on to each other for a long time with completely different language and cultural backgrounds and even mentality.

As for whether the game's secrets will be revealed, Chu Guang is not worried at all.

Anyone asked him this question, and his answer was a generous acknowledgment that "this is undoubtedly the world", and incidentally reminded players to be mindful of their own words and actions and what others said about them, suggesting that "favorability" might affect the triggering of the quest.

Interestingly, the more he emphasized this, the less anyone took what he said seriously.

After all, as long as they need a helmet to log in to the game one day, it's impossible to convince other people who need to wear a helmet to enter the game.

The conjectured truth doesn't matter at all, and whether one or two people are convinced of it or not doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Just like last night, today's forum was as lively as ever.

Out of those fragmentary posts, the distant team from the enterprise has become the hottest topic on the forum in the past two days without any suspense.

The last time the Trailblazer passed by Qingquan City, many players made a small fortune by seizing the "historical opportunity", which made those players who did not seize the opportunity and newcomers to the game envious.

Now the people from the company are here again, although they are not from the same group of people, but it does not hinder the enthusiasm of the players.

The silver coins went into their pockets.

And still get them to run?

Master Wang of Bamboo Shoots at the entrance of the village: "Mom, after opening a black shop for so long, I finally waited for a wave of fat sheep!" ”

The construction site boy and the brick: "Brothers, xiaolongbao, hot pot barbecue crayfish go!" (proud)"

Makabazi: "Gan! I went to their camp during the day to take a look, how do I feel that the Tianlong people who came this time are so poor! ”

Irena: "Poverty is also from the East Coast, don't be a mosquito and not meat!" (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "I don't know why, I don't feel anything when others say this, and my stomach churns as soon as you say this." (Funny)"

Tail: "Oh! Pass it on! Lao Na is going to eat mosquitoes! Ψ(｀?′)Ψ”

Fujito: "(???? w????)”

There are mosquitoes in the WC: "This can also persecute me??? ”

Raven: "Can't you ducks be friendly to your friends?" A little less routine, a little more sincerity, you can also make a fortune. (@′w｀@)”

Debt Big Eye: "Are you so embarrassed!" 100cr mushroom soup! ”

Drum shampoo: "That's it!" You're the blackest, okay! ”

Raven: "Well, that's a misunderstanding duck!" How long do you have to remember! qaq”

Looking at the little players who were brainstorming bad ideas, Chu Guang couldn't help but have an old father-like smile on his face.

It is worthy of being a leek cultivated by himself.

Not only will he contribute his own strength when he needs it, but he will also take the initiative to help him gather other people's wool.

However, wool picking also has to pay attention to rules.

This time, I have preemptively negotiated the rules of the transaction for the players, and stipulated the currency of the transaction.

Players no longer have to work hard to earn any foreign exchange.

Directly take advantage of the local market and earn the same amount of silver in the hands of those NPCs!

When the NPCs ran out of silver, the captain named Yun Song would naturally exchange the good things he had brought from the East Coast or the loot he had stolen from the looters for his own money.

There is really no money to spend, so Chu Guang will introduce them to some commissions that are well-paid and cannot be handled by players for the time being, or ask them to contact their hometown to make money.

As long as it doesn't conflict with their own mission, and the stakes aren't too high, I believe they won't mind helping their allies.

In this way, the players earned credits, the Enterprise's expedition team solved the logistical problems, and the new alliance gained merchandise from the Ideal City and a thriving economy.

This wave is of course a win-win situation!

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face, and he clicked the mouse twice with his index finger to open the folder he had created earlier.

Lying in the folder is the update announcement for the beta 0.3 version.

Originally, after Elder Brother Fang unlocked the black market, he planned to take this thing out directly.

But I didn't expect the plan to catch up with the change, and people from the company suddenly visited, and the original update announcement seemed a bit outdated.

In the new version, players will have more development paths and equipment to choose from. At the same time, the player's faction will communicate more frequently with other factions in the wasteland.

As he had told Luca before, they were no longer a small village, or a survivors' settlement.

Rather, it's an alliance of countless survivors!

After taking a moment to edit, Chu Guang updated the revised announcement on the forum.

[Beta0.3 Update Announcement: A large number of high-tech equipment and bionics prosthetics have been added!] 】

[New equipment: The "Round Shield" exoskeleton has light weapon protection that is not inferior to the Type 6 "Heavy Cavalry" exoskeleton, and it is designed for war and can withstand most battlefield environments in the wasteland...... The price is 30,000 credits! 】

【……】

Looking at the content in the update announcement, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"The Trailblazer is in trouble, and if it doesn't work, it will have to mobilize the player corps, and the 'Wasteland' system will have to be saved for the next version......"

"Beta 0.3 is all for now."

There's quite a lot of content in this update.

No one should be talking about fishing.
