Chapter 367: An invitation from the manager of Vault 101

"Just... These? “

Stunned as he looked at the production equipment in front of him, Hedin's face was bewildered and dazed with a capital letter.

The flour is fed into the mixer according to the proportion, and through a series of processes such as maturation, calendering, shredding, steaming, cutting, frying, etc., finally a piece of golden brown dough is formed.

What surprised him was not the efficiency of the line or the magic of the production process, but the opposite...

That's gone?

“… These are the breads that the inhabitants of the Vault rarely buy, and we usually sell them to the mercenaries of Boulder City, as well as the caravans there. Caravans, in particular, usually buy in large quantities, one or twenty boxes at a time. Not only do they eat it on the road, but they also sell what they don't eat to local vendors as a trade. ”

Standing next to Heding, Wang Yan introduced his factory while observing the expression on the face of the person next to him.

He is the director of an instant noodle factory.

Taking this businessman from Ideal City to visit the alliance's instant noodle factory was a task assigned to him by the manager himself.

As one of the "star enterprises" alongside Nuka-Cola, this plant, which is controlled by the refuge, generates a large amount of foreign exchange income for the alliance.

Wang Yan didn't understand why managers would want to show their instant noodle production skills to others, but that wasn't something he should be worried about.

What he couldn't understand was why the merchants from that fabled paradise-like ideal city would be interested in their factory.

What about the reserve of the "Ming people"?

What a hell of a life.

After being stunned for a long time, Heding finally came back to his senses, and his eyes quickly fell on Director Wang who was standing aside.

"Just fried the flour a little? Didn't you add anything else? “

Wang Yan was stunned, nodded, and shook his head again.

"No, no, that's all there is to it. Add something else...... Do salt and water count?

Heldin looked at him stunned.

He thought that the miraculous dough was produced by some very complicated process.

I even thought that it might be made out of a black box, but I didn't expect the production process and the raw materials used to be so simple.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem like there's any need to add anything else.

Carbohydrate dehydration after frying, the high osmotic pressure of heavy oil and salt makes it almost impossible for microorganisms to survive, as long as it is sealed with plastic to isolate oxygen and moisture in the air, it is easy to prevent food from spoiling...

However, what made Heading confused.

It's obviously a one-point principle, why didn't anyone think of it?

It took a long time for him to look away from the factory director and look back at the production equipment in front of him. "How long can these produced dough be preserved?"

Wang Yan said immediately.

"If it's plastic, it's okay to keep it for six months! You can eat it for more than six months, but the taste is not so good. “

In fact, he didn't know if they could keep it for six months, after all, their production line was only two months ago.

It was really sold out of stock, that is, during the period after the end of the Northern Expedition, as for the "six-month shelf life", it was all said by the managers themselves.

But Heading didn't doubt it.

Six months......

Heldin silently calculated in his mind.

Most merchants will not exceed this number in the time period of a trip to the courtyard. After all, if you travel too long on the road, it will be expensive both economically and timely.

The shelf life is six months, which is more than enough!

After all, this thing is not used as a food stock, but as a prepared food that is easy to carry and cook, and at a low price.

It doesn't even have to be very healthy.

As long as the morale of the caravans and caravans can be guaranteed, there will be a large number of caravans and mercenary groups that will be willing to pay for it.

It's so much tastier than those freeze-dried vegetables!

Or you can combine the two and encapsulate instant pasta and freeze-dried vegetables together.

Thinking of this, Heading looked at the pieces of golden dough waiting to be encapsulated in plastic, and his eyes were blazing with fire.

In his eyes, the bread had turned into a pile of banknotes!

Hutting couldn't wait.

He couldn't wait to fly back to the Cloud Realm Province right now to carry out his grand business plan!

Just when Heding was fantasizing about how to make a lot of money in Yunjian Province with these instant noodles, Chu Guang was sitting on the train to Xizhou City.

Last night, Xia Yan called and told him that the administrators of Vault 101 were willing to hand over the VM to him, but wanted to meet him in exchange.

This request is not excessive, and Chu Guang does not think that the other party has any reason to plot against him.

And, after all, it was my own side that made that presumptuous request first.

For the sake of the 3,500 closed beta qualifications, he could only go in person.

After driving through a wilderness full of craters, the scenery outside the car window suddenly opened up when the road sign in Qingshi County jumped in front of me.

The copper ore is piled up into small hills, and people in front of the station shuttle back and forth.

There are traders who come from Dawn to inspect the market and buy ore, and there are players who go into the forest with VMs and rifles.

Looking at the busy station, Chu Guang was slightly distracted.

Two months ago, he had been standing on the broken bridge not far away, and now he could faintly hear the echo of the propeller vibration and the roar of artillery fire.

Today, it has become a well-known copper ore production base, and even the Dawn City has also been stained, becoming the largest copper and molybdenum ore trading center in the southern part of the valley province.

They built the railway.

There are also plans to build another power grid.

Connect the power systems of Dawn and Dawn, and when the controllable fusion reactor ignites, an even greater miracle will be born in the soil where the fire is extinguished.

"It's a big change here."

Jiu Li, who was sitting opposite Chu Guang, said respectfully.

"You're here, after all."

Chu Guang smiled and corrected his statement.

"It's not me coming."

"It's us."

Time doesn't just change things.

There are also people.

A year ago, this burly man was not called "Jiuli", but a single name with the word "Li".

In order to escape the war of the Chewing Bone Tribe, he fled with his people all the way to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

At that time, half of it was a joke mentality, and half of it was considering the actual survival needs, the shelter must unite all the wasteland guests who could unite, so Chu Guang gave him a more domineering-sounding name, and made him the steward of the camp camp, responsible for rehousing the homeless people who defected to the alliance from other places.

And Jiuli did not live up to Chu Guang's expectations, and cooperated with Luca, the then head of Changchang Farm, to use limited materials to keep the homeless camp in order, which well balanced the contradictions between different ethnic groups.

Although small frictions occasionally occur, there have been no major problems.

After more than half a year of training, his body no longer has the original brave and ruthless temperament, but is replaced by calmness.

And this is also one of the things that Chu Guang admires most about him.

The survivors of Dawn need a leader who can empathize with the suffering of the displaced people, as well as a wealth of experience in clearing wasteland. He needs to consider the interests of the coalition as a whole, but he can't ignore the demands of the local survivors, because unity is the foundation of the alliance's existence.

The original management of Hope Town was obviously inappropriate, whether it was Wu Chengyi, who used to be the mayor of the town, or Yang Duo, who was in charge of the warehouse, they were more suitable for carrying out specific work.

As for Ma Ban, who was parachuted into Xizhou City, his appointment was in the nature of being ordered in a critical situation, and he was more responsible for the takeover of Hope Town.

As for the construction work, there is still a lack of experience.

And he himself made it clear in his work report that he was unable to do so, and felt that it was difficult to face the nearly 30,000 survivors who needed to be resettled.

Chu Guang planned to transfer him back to Dawning City to take over Jiuli's work as the head of the homeless camp as a talent reserve for the third survivor settlement.

Looking at Jiu Li, who was sitting opposite, Chu Guang instructed seriously.

"You need to strengthen our relationship with the local survivors, and I have only one request for you, which is a bowl of water."

"How the laws of the Union are enforced."

Jiuli looked solemn and said solemnly.

"Yes! My lord. ”

The train arrives at the station.

Unlike Dawn, the station in Dawn City only has a standing wooden board as a stop sign.

In addition to the piles of materials, the surrounding area was littered with rain-crushed soil and concrete debris that had not been completely demolished.

A little further north, you can see the trenches that were previously dug by the players, but now they have been turned into drainage tunnels.

Everything is broken here.

To his credit, however, the outline of a settlement could already be seen to the east of the trench. After the construction of the drainage system was completed, the survivors began pouring cement on the foundations in preparation for the construction of the streets and sheltered houses from the wind and rain in Auroville.

Given the limited land resources, the residences in Dawn City will be dominated by medium-density five-story apartments, supplemented by single-family cottages.

In addition to this, there are also some land that is open for players to buy, and players are free to decide what kind of buildings to build.

As long as it is not too offensive and affects the senses and game experience of other players, the curator will not interfere too much.

"Dear Administrator, welcome to Dawn City!" Standing next to the wooden sign at the station, Ma Ban said respectfully.

Standing next to him were Wu Chengyi, Yang Duo and other former Xizhou City resistance organizations, as well as the leadership team of Hope Town.

Now, of course, they have joined and pledged allegiance to the Alliance, serving as Officers of Dawn City in various departments such as civil affairs and warehouse management.

Chu Guang nodded, signaling that everyone didn't need to be polite.

"I'm here to deal with Camp 101, so you can work at your own pace and don't have to greet me with much fanfare.

As he spoke, Chu Guang set his eyes on Jiu Li, who was standing aside, and after giving him a brief introduction to his identity and work, he handed it over to him.

And Chu Guang himself walked to the military camp directly opposite Dawn City.

The Alliance's Second Corps was stationed here, led by Lyudin, and was responsible for the security of the station, the railroad tracks, and the nearby city of Dawn.

At the same time, the fuel rod that the alliance had previously seized from the Golden Tooth was also kept in this barracks, and Yin Fang was responsible for the restoration work.

Half a month has passed since that day.

Two days ago, Chu Guang heard Yin Fang on the phone that there was progress, and he happened to stop by here to take a look.

Following the soldiers of the Second Corps, Chu Guang came to the warehouse where the fuel rods were stored. The building is recognizable, as it is the only concrete building in the entire barracks.

The rest of the tents are far from here.

Although controlled fusion is theoretically safe, there is no safety risk even if something like helium-3 is leaked, and a single fuel rod cannot start an energy-intensive fusion reaction, people still instinctively want to stay away from it.

Looking at the two soldiers beside him with nervous faces, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Don't be so nervous, why don't you go back first and send me here."

Hearing Chu Guang's words, the two of them obviously misunderstood what he meant. One of the soldiers straightened his back and said with a serious expression.

"My lord, we're not afraid of death, we're just worried that thing threatens your safety, please allow us to follow you!"

His idea was simple.

If something happens, at least get the manager out.

I don't doubt your loyalty, but it's not as terrible as you think. Chu Guang gently patted the soldier's shoulder, "Wait for me at the door." ”

The soldier hesitated.

But after all, it was the administrator's order, and he still stood with his companions beside him and gave a military salute cleanly.

"Yes!

didn't stop at the door, Chu Guang pushed open the door and walked in.

I saw the fuel rods that had been assembled standing in the middle of the room full of parts.

Standing next to the fuel rod, Yin Fang held a tablet with a data cable in his hand, rubbing his chin with his index finger, as if thinking about something.

Hearing the movement coming from the door, he glanced sideways, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes. "What wind brought you here?"

"I just happened to be passing by, and I stopped by to see how your research went." Saying with a smile on his face, Chu Guang cast an appreciative look at the fuel rod in the center of the room, "It looks like you've done it." “

Yin Fang raised his eyebrows proudly.

"That's right, as you can see. The idiot almost dismantled the fuel rods, but luckily the parts were still found, and it was a good time for you to come, I just put all the parts back together yesterday, and you are here today. ”

From his eyebrows fluttering, Chu Guang could see that he was also very satisfied with the masterpiece he had completed in the past half a month.

Throwing the VM-modified tablet on the table, Yin Fang continued proudly.

"I checked it again today, and basically ruled out the hardware and software problems, and now I just need to wait for the reactor to be repaired, and I can plug this thing in at any time.... How are you communicating with the engineers at Camp 101? ”

Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"They're already preparing for this, and if nothing else, the reactor should be able to restart soon after the grid in Dawnville is built."

A long time ago, Chu Guang had communicated with Horn, the mayor of Camp 101, about this matter.

When the Alliance's reinforcement team arrived at Camp 11, they had already dispatched engineers and with the help of the player, they were able to locate the emergency reactor located deep in the subway tunnel.

Although the construction period is uncertain, according to those engineers, it should not take long.

Neither the war 200 years ago nor the war 2 months ago hurt the reactor in the slightest. It's just that it's been too old and some aging parts need to be replaced.

Chu Guang was not too anxious about this matter.

After all, Dawn City, not to mention the power grid, has not built several houses, and there are only a few factories that have moved over.

It would be nice to be able to complete the construction of the grid and the relocation of the industrial zone by the end of the year, and to integrate the repaired reactors into the grid.

Looks like you already have a plan, so I won't worry about it.

The work at hand came to an end, and Yin Fang said with a pleasant expression.

"I'm going to take refuge early tomorrow morning...... By the way, the ones you brought back from the city center are still there? ”

When he said this, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

For a long time, he had been thinking about the evolutionary "specimens" that the Niuma Squad had brought out from the center of Qingquan City.

In Yin Fang's eyes, those are all living fossils left by the Ming Dynasty before the war!

A priceless treasure!

Not only are they structurally well preserved, but even their "way of working" has been preserved in a biological form by slime molds.

For an "archaeologist" who has spent his life excavating the heritage of the pre-war Ming Dynasty, you can imagine how attractive it is!

Looking at Yin Fang's fiery eyes, Chu Guang couldn't help but say with a smile.

"It's all still there, Hea only extracted slime tissue from the evolutionary, and nothing else has been touched."

"But I bet you'll not look down on that pile of broken metal when you get back to the Vault—"

"It can't be!" Yin Fang shook his head and said without hesitation, "Broken copper and iron? Do you know what those things mean? ”

Looking at that determined look, Chu Guang just smiled calmly and continued.

"Recently, a group of people from enterprises came to the northern suburbs, and we got a set of 0D-10 'Dragoon power armor from them. Except for the obvious crack in the left arm, the overall structure is intact, and even the reactor and battery are intact.

"Where is it!?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yin Yi interrupted him.

That fanatical gaze made Chu Guang stunned.

Anyway, the last time I saw this expression on this guy's face was when I just picked up Doctor Principle's holographic video.

"Right in the shelter...

Without waiting for Chu Guang to finish speaking, Yin Fang grabbed the coat on the table, and while draping it on his body, he hurriedly walked to the door of the warehouse.

"Fuel rods, you find someone to watch, just lock the door, don't let the group of hairy laymen outside move!"

"I can't wait for tomorrow, I'll take refuge now!"

Looking at the back that quickly disappeared at the door, Chu Guang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and a trace of strangeness couldn't help but float in his eyes.

Although he had expected that Yin Fang, who heard the news, would get carried away with excitement, this exaggerated reaction was still beyond his expectations.

A power armor that can be repaired is worth a lot.

But is it so exaggerated?

Walking to the door of the warehouse, Chu Guang glanced into the distance and found that the guy had run away, and he went straight to the train station.

The two soldiers on duty at the gate also looked in the direction of the barracks and muttered quietly.

"I said it had radiation"

"Look at that guy, he must have a bad brain."

The misunderstanding seems to have been aggravated for strange reasons......

But it doesn't matter, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Chu Guang coughed lightly.

Seeing that the manager was standing in the doorway, the two soldiers immediately closed the door of their mouths, straightened their backs, and pressed their hands tightly to the seams of their trousers.

Without blaming the two of them for deserting, Chu Guang simply commanded.

"Find someone to lock this door.

No one is to come near without my orders. ”

With a sigh of relief in their hearts, the two of them gave a military salute in unison.

"Yes!

Just when Yin Fang turned into a supervisor and urged the staff at the station to hurry up and unload the goods, the queue at the gate of the First Hospital of Dawning City formed a long line.

Most of the players on the team are players.

In the eyes of the residents of the New Alliance, this is an absolute rarity.

Because it is well known that the residents of the shelter never go to the hospital, and if they go to the training pod for minor injuries and illnesses, they will basically recover on their own the next day.

As for the incurable serious injuries and terminal illnesses...

After two or three days, he seemed to be cured.

And that's exactly what happened.

These players in line are not here to see a doctor, but to have a makeover surgery.

They can't afford the high-end goods produced in Ideal City, but some wealthy players can still afford the bionic prosthetics produced by Boulder City and worth thousands of chips.

Although Yin Fang has not been in the shelter for half a month, he is not the only one who will undergo prosthetic modification surgery.

For example, the surgeon from Vault 117 in the operating room.

Although he is a little older and his hands are a little shaky, after all, he has a resume as a biologist, has not been a little taxidermy, and has received medical training.

After all, changing arms and legs is not stuffing chips into the brain, and these "simple" surgeries are not difficult for him.

Although the surgical equipment purchased from Boulder City is not as professional as Vault 117, it does not affect its use.

Looking at the one operation application after another refreshed in M, the old man with the surgical cap sighed and couldn't help but complain.

"I don't understand, you have a healthy arm, why do you want to take off your arm and replace it with this thing?"

On the mobile stand next to the operating table, a ninety percent new mechanical arm is lying.

Although there are all the joints that a normal arm should have, the knife folded on the inside of the forearm is very curious.

Even if it is to improve combat effectiveness, this method of "self-harm" is too extreme.

However, the Vault resident ignored him, and even took the initiative to climb onto the operating table and lie down, looking at him expectantly.

That expression was even a little impatient.

It's insane!

"I hope you can take care of your body a little more, after all, your parents gave it to you."

Seeing that there was no way to communicate at all, the old man sighed, picked up the scalpel in the tray, and looked at the assistant who was helping on the side.

"Go close the door."

Outside the hospital.

The garbage gentleman who wagged his tail looked at the long queue of people with admiration, as well as the good brothers who had changed into new equipment.

"Damn, why can't I change it?"

Irena who was passing by happened to hear his complaints, and couldn't help but stop and say a word.

"Maybe it's because I don't have enough intelligence?"

Junk immediately retorted

"Damn! Lao Tzu Intelligence. It's not low, okay! ”

"Not low? Isn't it just 3 o'clock? “

%#@!

The garbage gentleman's teeth are itchy, but there is nothing to be done.

Posting a screenshot of the attribute panel on the forum was the biggest mistake in his life.

Standing next to Lao Na, a new person named giggling looked at the endless stream of hospital gates, and a strange thought suddenly floated in his mind.

"What about the parts that were replaced?"

The garbage gentleman smiled sympathetically, and seized the opportunity to go back. "Usually we'll find a place where Lao Na can't see and bury it."

Fuck off," Irena rolled her eyes, uu reading, "I'll admit that my curiosity may be strong, but I'm not going to eat anything like that, okay!"

"It's a pity...

Giggle suddenly sighed.

"According to the game setting, after lv10, you can be regarded as an awakener, and the awakened should be quite good?"

Irena glanced at him.

"What do you want to do? That thing doesn't bother to bake one."

"Of course it's for money, it's a pity to bake it," Giggling said with a regretful face, "It's also a part of the Awakened, and the arms and hands can be exchanged even if they include eyes, liver, kidneys, etc.?" ”

The garbage gentleman was stunned.

Irena was also stunned, looking at the new one in amazement.

it!

This is too special?!
