Night falls. Boulder, in the middle of the inner city. On the top floor of the pitch-black building, in a spacious room, a man in formal clothes is in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the silent night sky to the north with an expressionless face.

Last year, almost at the same time, in the same direction, those who came from the East China Sea detonated a tactical nuclear bomb on the northern outskirts of Qingquan City.

And now, those people are visiting again.

"Time flies."

Staring at the reflection on the floor-to-ceiling window, the man pondered in his heart.

Once time becomes insignificant, it passes at an unbelievably fast rate.

Whether it's because you're rich enough to splurge on it, or because yesterday is not much different from Ming.

This is the curse of time for the long-lived. Recently, however, the situation had changed a little, and before he had noticed, a bud had sprouted from the ruins not far away. It's been two centuries.

This humble city, which has never been so lively, came the sound of footsteps behind it, stopping at the door.

The man didn't look back, turned his back to the man at the door, and said in a very soft voice.

"Did you see the manager? Zhao Yongxu, who was standing at the door, leaned over slightly, his angular face full of respect and piety.

"Yes, sir. The man asked.

"What kind of man is he?"

Zhao Yongxu replied without hesitation.

"Hypocrisy! Cunning! A careerist who is good at using intrigue and trickery! I don't know what method he used to turn those people on the East Coast around, but they won't fall for them!" The man nodded, his expression indistinguishable from belief or suspicion.

Or, just indifference.

After thinking for a moment, the man continued.

"What do they say about our proposal?"

Sneaking a glance at his back, Zhao Yongxu repeated the results of the conversation in cautious terms, without any addition.

The man quietly heard the end from the beginning and nodded slowly.

"Well, I see, you go down first."

"Yes."

Zhao Yongxu bowed his head respectfully, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, without asking any more questions, he turned around and exited the house.

When talking to this adult, there is always a long wait, sometimes just a few words, but inadvertently passing for hours. It also gave him the feeling that his time had been stolen. Silence returned to the room.

The man waited quietly for a moment, then stretched out his index finger and tapped his fingertips on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Digital-like ripples spread out in all directions, and the reflected night sky became a curtain.

And the picture on the screen is the office of the chairman of Jushi Military Industry.

As if expecting the call to reach him, Is, the chairman of the Great Stone Military Industry, was standing respectfully at his desk.

"Honorable Lord Fang Ming is so late, do you have any orders?"

The man pondered as if he were a still picture, and spoke slowly after a while.

"I need you to upgrade the radar system of Boulder City to 500 kilometers, increase the recognition efficiency by one level, and upgrade the weapons and fire control systems of the androids. In fact, there was no need to do this.

You won't need those high-tech weapons to fight slime molds.

However, at this moment, Qingquan City is ushering in changes unseen in a century. Although he had designed the power structure of the building and the promotion system for selecting the elite from the wastelanders a long, long time ago, it was not reliable.

At the end of the day, the cogs that make up this system are people, and people are too fragile in front of time. He needs to do some precautions.

After listening to the man's words, Ibs said respectfully.

"It's not that hard, but I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

The man replied in a casual tone.

"It's okay, I'll let the militia and the representatives of the residents of the outer city know."

For him at the top of power, money is just a number. Hearing the promise of the city lord, Ibs's face showed a happy countenance, and he bowed his head slightly respectfully. "Yes."

North of Dawn City.

At the edge of Linghu Wetland Park, Lao Bai and his entourage, who came back from the city center, returned in the direction of the resurrection point.

Today's harvest has been very fruitful.

On the backs of the big mechanical dogs that followed the four of them, they carried a burden that was completely unconventional in size, and it contained the evolutions they had recovered from the city center.

Including the wreckage of the Rotten Knight!

The guy was carrying a chainsaw that had been removed from nowhere, and the wreckage of the power armor was covered with a dark red fungus blanket.

Normally, 7mm bullets hit it like an itch, at most scraping some fungus blocks, and the armor-piercing bullets fired by the RPG couldn't touch them at all, so they were killed by it with a chain split. The four of them watched it rush up, and Lao Bai decisively pulled out the "black cut*, opened the limit breakthrough, and directly slammed it up with an axe. The blunt blade of the hot-melt cutting axe flashes with a red arc of light. In the midst of the lightning and fire, everyone saw sparks fly in all directions, and a crimson crack was imprinted on the armor on its flank.

The scorching air flow carried the hot metal fragments directly into the discarded power armor, destroying the organic tissue within the evolutionary body.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Lao Bai took advantage of the iron lump to lose his balance, and then slashed two celery pieces horizontally and vertically, until it stopped moving.

At the beginning, half of the Storm Corps was wiped out, and thanks to the mosquito's plane, the Rotten Knight was solved, but he was killed by him alone with the bonus of equipment.

Such an awesome melee artifact, the manager didn't stay for his own use, which was also Lao Bai's expectation. According to Fang Chang's calculations, the materials they recovered today add up to at least 8,000 silver coins, and the contribution points of the task can also be divided into about 500 points per person.

For the people who run the Niuma Brick Factory, the silver coins rewarded by the task are no longer so attractive, the key is the professional level of the scientific expedition group and the contribution points of any reward. Especially the latter.

At present, there are more than 90,000 contribution points of Fang Chang, Tempest, and Night Thirteen.

The top priority is to brush everyone's contribution points to more than 100,000 as soon as possible, and raise the citizen level to "knight". Although the NPC Shop is out of stock with Power Armor, a new map will be opened soon, and there is a chance that a new batch of Power Armor will appear. Then there will be a place to spend money again!

"Damn, when did this dog thing stop being as good as spring water?" glanced at his burned chemical protective suit and body armor, and then looked at the power wingsuit on Fang Chang's back, and couldn't help but let out a sound of envy.

Fang Chang smiled and said calmly.

"I'm a little bit more reluctant to play the adc, like a T to the front line?" Although he also had some abrasions on his body, they were accidentally caused when he first tried the power wing, and he was undoubtedly much more optimistic than his three good brothers.

I have to say that the black technology produced by the shelter is really awesome.

At first, he was worried that he would not be able to play this equipment without flying experience, but it turned out that his concerns were completely unnecessary.

When connected to the VM's control interface, his power wingsuit can not only set a cruising path, but also switch between multiple flight modes such as gliding and slow descent.

The 12 sensors distributed on the wingsuit are able to sensitively detect obstacles within a radius of 200 meters and plan the best dodge path based on the algorithm of the built-in chip.

Thanks to this power wingsuit, it provides him with an excellent output environment.

It is not uncommon for xenos to be able to fly and attack from a distance, but they are still a few, and with his flexible maneuvers, he can attack from any angle in an open environment.

Night Ten; "Damn! I'm also an ADC, okay?"

Tempest glanced at him, "Isn't the perception system an aid?"

Night Ten: "#@¥!"

While exchanging the experience accumulated in the battle, everyone walked in the direction of Resurrection Hiro, intending to save their equipment and take a shower.

The black slime spewed out by the slime bacteria is extremely stinky, like a rotten body, although this game can block the excessive pain, but it can't block the unpleasant sour smell.

Especially Lao Bai, who served as the front row, was like rolling in a mud puddle, making it impossible for people to get close at all.

Not far away.

A petite figure was standing on the edge of the Resurrection Square, with a heart written on its face, looking around with its neck stretched. Finally seeing the familiar figure, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she trotted up.

Fang Chang also saw her, and subconsciously threw the equipment in his hand to Ten on the side, and took the initiative to meet her and give her a hug. Two arms wrapped around the back of her beloved's neck, and looking at the towel around his neck, the corners of Dolly's mouth turned into a sweet arc. "Didn't you say you were going to leave for a while, why did you come back so late?"

Hanging like a bear climbing a tree, she muttered softly as she didn't want to come down. It was indeed getting late.

Thinking that he had promised Dori in the morning to come back and have dinner with her, Chang's face couldn't help but feel a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry I-"

Before the words fell, they were blocked by a touch of softness. Dolly stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the lips.

That faint touch of shame shines vividly under the street lamp, like a piece of red in early autumn. There is no dazzling splendor all over the mountains, but people can't take their eyes off it.

"I hope my wait is not exchanged for a word of sorry, and I can return safely."

Maybe it's because of the living environment.

Maybe it's because the lives of the people here are as short as the morning dew, and they don't have time to be tactful. Looking at the sincerity and heat flashing on his green face, Fang Chang felt a little embarrassed.

"There's too many people here. * A sly smile appeared on Dolly's face.

Suddenly, she brought the tip of her nose close to her ear, like a kitten holding her prey, and snorted softly.

"That's just right, so that everyone can see that you are my one—the voice hasn't fallen yet.

Fang Chang suddenly squatted down, his shoulders pressed against his soft lower abdomen, and he carried it up. Her feet suddenly left the ground, and Dolly let out a short snort like a frightened little animal.

Her face was red to the base of her ears, and the ends of her green hair were in her hands, and she whispered.

"You, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

"Take you home!" Is this what it feels like to be home?

Feeling the warmth and strength of her shoulders, Dolly's face was covered with honey, she bit her lip lightly, hummed in disbelief, but stopped talking.

The two of them fell silent and disappeared under the street lamps in the square.

Only a group of envious, jealous and hateful single dogs were left behind, standing on the ground with longing eyes. Throwing the equipment to the wind, Yaju's hands covered his eyes, and the whole person writhed like an earthworm. "Ahhh The dog's day is long, and the dog's eyes are still old!"

Although Tempest did not make exaggerated movements, the expression on his face was equally subtle.

"Everything else is fine, mainly because I saw the shy expression on this guy's face, and my toes were cut out of the four-bedroom apartment. It's not that spicy eyes.

It's just that this guy was calmly analyzing tactics with them one second, discussing battle coordination and the use of equipment, and the next second he instantly became a shy little daughter-in-law.

This contrast is a little unacceptable to him.

Lao Bai, who was standing next to him, smiled and patted the brothers on the shoulder.

"Okay, the little couple just got together, isn't it normal for you and me to be together? If you don't go down, close your eyes, and after two days you get used to it. ”

Ye Shi still had an expression that couldn't let go, sighed and said, "Hey, it's a real loss to sell this game to him for no charge!" Lao Bai said with a smile.

"If you are envious, go to learn the language of people, or find an object in reality, you don't say how far the person chasing is, let's also avoid the difficult place to take a bath. Damn, that pimple is all over Lao Tzu's body, and it stinks to death!"

Ye Shi's face changed instantly, and he quickly dodged Lao Bai's arm. "! Don't get it on me!"

"Hahaha!"

Not far away.

With a look of envy and jealousy, the mosquito poked the button in the upper left corner of the VM screen with his index finger, and his fingers were about to be poked.

"Damn, why is it useless!" Irena, who happened to pass by and was holding a handful of roasted mantis legs in her hand, said with a funny face.

"The player's manual only says to abide by the laws of the alliance and prohibit harassment, and it doesn't say that you will be treated, you shout that Ah Guang has a hammer."

"I don't care, unless I get the whole one! With a subtle expression, Irena handed the skewers in her hand.

"Then I can't help and need one?"

The mosquito was instantly alert: "What's this?"

Irena smiled sheepishly.

"Mantis legs, I caught them today, they just roasted. ANYWAY, THAT GUY'S HEAD IS STILL PURPLE.,IT'S A BIG ONE.,I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.,IT SHOULD BE A RARE BREED AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ADD A BUFF.。 "Vomit ——!"

Before Lao Na could finish speaking, the mosquito had already retched on to the tree.

Early the next morning.

North of Dawn.

After a night's rest, the company's assistance to the alliance officially began.

Two sets of engineering equipment from Ideal Group took the lead in completing the assembly, showing the technical strength of the East Coast to the melon-eating crowd.

Stand next to the half-built road.

The chief architect of the alliance stared at the boss with his eyes, looking at the two engineering equipment, and his mouth was screaming.

"What the hell?!"

The four-track mobile crusher is like a walking bunker, covering an area of fifty or sixty square meters.

In front of it stood a massive bucket, the edges of which were like teeth of a deep jaw, shattering the concrete wreckage in front of it and writ it into its belly.

The silver tank on the back is constantly rolling with a deafening roar, and after a series of processes, the hydrated concrete slag is redissolved into a cement slurry that can be used again.

Behind this guy is a chic roller, with small rollers at the front and back, six meters wide, carrying a boxy platform.

I saw that the engineering beast with four tracks and two rollers was slowly advancing one after the other.

The front is responsible for "eating".

The back is responsible for "pulling" and "pressing".

As the two engineering behemoths drove by, a straight and smooth highway was like their footprints, imprinted on the roadbed that had been weathered by time.

Although the quality of the project remains to be considered, as an emergency use of the repair line, this is already better than the rotten ground on the wasteland, I don't know how many times!

What the current coalition needs is not a road that will not break for 50 years, but a road that can be used immediately.

Standing next to the onlookers, the knife stayed behind, and their eyes were straight.

This simple and crude construction method completely turned his perception on its head.

No, I don't need to talk about the construction method.

Just the technology of reducing the hydrated concrete to cement that can be used again is enough black technology, okay?

If there is such a convenient technology, the concrete garbage generated by the demolition of the building will also have to worry about having no place to pile up, and the waste will be turned into treasure in an instant!

Just when the civil dogs were making a fuss, Li Chang, who was standing not far away, was holding a tablet in his hand, debugging the operating parameters of the equipment.

After dealing with the work at hand, he looked at the alliance manager on the side and said.

"The highway from Qingquan City to Ruigu City is 169 kilometers long, and we chose the restoration highway to be the provincial Highway 1704, and the quality of the project is definitely not up to the pre-war standard, but the kind of cement road you are using now is still more reliable."

"A batch of equipment will be delivered here in the future, including asphalt for the road, which is expected to be completed from mid-August to the end of August."

It's early July.

In the middle of August, that's 45 days?

If you build 169 kilometers of roads in 45 days, you can repair 3.75 kilometers in one day?!

Chu Guang only roughly calculated, and was immediately shocked by this amazing speed.

With the steel plant increasing its capacity to its maximum capacity and mobilizing thousands of prisoners of war, the Union was able to lay railways at a rate of barely 3 kilometers a day.

This high-speed construction is faster than the railway!

Let's open something! Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Li Changkong paused and continued.

"Although the concrete waste required for construction can be obtained locally, there is still a 17-30% material shortage, which has to be collected and transported by your people."

"Of course, in order to shorten the construction period, we will try to provide you with some convenient tools, such as the 'Miner' series exoskeleton and so on. Recovering from his surprise, Chu Guang coughed lightly and nodded seriously.

"You can rest assured, the most important thing in Qingquan City is concrete garbage, and we will solve the gap of things! By the way, can you come over with two more big guys?"

Li Changkong was slightly stunned.

"Isn't two enough?"

"To be precise, a highway is not enough," Chu Guang continued without blushing, "Our industrial zone is in the area of Qingshi County and Xizhou City, that is, the edge of the alliance, and your space base is also there. "However, there is only one railway line from there to Dawning City, and in addition to military supplies, it is necessary to take into account the transportation of civilian supplies. Although we have also repaired cement roads, they have just been repaired to the area of Yuanxi Town, and the supply efficiency is very problematic! Listening to Chu Guang's words, Li Changkong's index finger clicked on the screen and switched to the map of Zhou City.

After staring at the map for a while, he touched his chin and said.

"It's really a problem, how much water can hold in a bucket depends on the shortest plank, we'll find a way to help you solve the problem of where is the mountainous area?"

Chu Guang nodded.

"Well, that area is mostly hilly, can you do it? Li Changkong pondered for a moment and said.

"I'm afraid the construction will be a little difficult, these two sets of equipment are only suitable for use on the flat."

Without waiting for the manager to show an embarrassed expression, a faint smile appeared on Li Changkong's face and continued.

"However, we also have engineering in our inventory that can be used on the hills, and when the aircraft is fully charged, I will have a batch sent by the headquarters."

"In addition, your railway transportation efficiency is too low, I can help you improve it slightly."

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

"Really? I'm so embarrassed!"

Li Changkong smiled and waved his hand.

"You're welcome, we're allies on the same front."

Even if it wasn't for the sake of his allies, he would win this "meaning" for the company.

With the adoption of Resolution 1001, the company allocated a budget of 300 million Cr to use military aid to the Alliance.

The 300 million Cr military aid can be used not only to buy weapons, but also to buy infrastructure and pay for works.

100,000 Cr per kilometer of road, 169 kilometers is 16.9 million Cr.

Since the materials are collected from the local area, and the power used by the engineering equipment is negatively supplemented by the alliance, the loss of these inventory equipment is ignored, and almost all of the 16.9 million are run!

Since the implementation of the Ideal City plan, most of the equipment used for large-scale construction has been thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes, and only when the guests in Yunjian Province have needs, they will occasionally use it.

They haven't seen such a big order for a long time.

Looking at the barrenness not far away, Li Changkong's heart couldn't help but be fascinated.

I heard that a long, long time ago, at the beginning of the Wasteland Era, their ancestors, under the leadership of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, built one colony after another to contain survivors in this wasteland, and became the savior in the eyes of the locals.

And the reason why Ideal City has been able to stand for two hundred years and become a holy place in the hearts of countless wasteland guests is precisely because of the engineering miracles they once left behind.

When this war is over, presumably his name will also be in this deserted land, and make a good story Thinking about it, that meticulous face couldn't help but show a happy face.

Li Changkong seemed to have seen it, the eyes full of gratitude, and the picture of people worshipping him as a savior—even a god.

He will return with great honor!

Returning home as a hero - suddenly realizing that the smile on his face was a little out of shape, he hurriedly coughed and put on a serious expression again.

Not noticing the change in the expression on the face of the middle-aged man next to him, Chu's attention at the moment was completely on the two slowly advancing heavy machines.

The company that showed his hand did show him off.

To be honest, the shock brought to him by these two "little guys" is not inferior to last year's Trailblazer.

Including them, it took less than a month to increase the maximum range from 100 kilometers to 3,000 kilometers.

And that's not even counting the time they spend trying to reach a consensus.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, the technical strength and work ability shown by the company still exceeded his expectations.

Looking at the highway that "grows forward" at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chu Guangzhong felt an indescribable emotion.

Really.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

I have to find a way to get a few from these local tyrants!

1 second to remember:
