There's one thing that Tempest thinks too much about.

The job of the dog planner is very busy, and it is impossible to keep an eye on the specific game behavior of a particular player.

Since the launch of the game, Chu Guang's decisions have basically been macro deployments.

Including the inducement of public opinion on the "other world", by releasing limited information to convince the mainstream society that the unanalyzable "Wasteland Online" is the handiwork of an extraterrestrial civilization.

Moreover, it is a high-level civilization that takes a neutral position and continues to release goodwill.

Based on this underlying logic, think tanks in various countries and major media on the Internet have added their own judgments.

For example, this is a warning from Big Brother that the earth will enter an era of prosperity in the future, and it will be quickly depressed after the era of prosperity.

Others believe that this is a guide from a higher civilization, and that aliens are looking for friends with the same values in the adjacent universe, and perhaps it won't be long before a cargo ship that communicates with each other will stop in synchronous orbit.

Of course, there are also people who think that this is to feed the people of the earth a little fatter and eat more deliciously...... It's just that this understanding is untenable.

After all, it's a little boring to come all the way just to have a full meal, so it's better to open a farm nearby.

There are also people with novel ideas who aim at five light years away, believing that the extraterrestrial civilization is there, and it is the "Gaia" that appears in the game.

Chu Guang didn't know if there was Gaia in the world over there, and he didn't care how the think tanks of various countries analyzed it, the entanglement of interests of various factions, and what a certain person thought.

For him, who already lives in this world, it is all meaningless.

They are free to believe what they want to believe, or what they can see.

There is only one thing that is really important to both parties - that is, they have established a set of relatively fair trade rules in a long-term tacit cooperation.

In this rule, the player earns silver coins for his work, and the national economic system collects the silver coins from the player according to the market price, and exchanges the silver coins from him for high-tech that can stimulate economic development.

It's a closed-loop chain.

When he throws a trick, the silver will go up, and if you want the silver to come down, stop the auction for a few weeks or add some water to the technology.

As long as this chain continues to cycle steadily, it doesn't matter whether he is an extraterrestrial civilization or not.

Chu Guang believes that as long as he takes out the controllable nuclear fusion technology, even if he says that he is God, there are still a lot of people who believe him.

It's just that it's too nonsense to make it up, he can't get past the psychological level, and he can't convince himself.

It's better to mix the truth and the falsehood.

As for the measured value of Planck's constant in the game world is smaller than that in the real world, this kind of thing is too professional for Chu Guang, at most, he conceptually understands that the emission and absorption of electromagnetic waves are not continuous, but are emitted one by one as if there is a "frame rate".

As for the specific value, he may have to find a young researcher who is engaged in high-energy physics to come and ask.

Of course, whether or not this is necessary is another matter.

The survivors of the Union will not have a better life because of the smaller Planck constant.

However, it is possible to change the ignition device of the reactor.

In the office of the Alliance Building, Chu Guang met with Wang Zhengyi, a nuclear engineer at the Dawn City Nuclear Power Plant.

The old man, who was already in his forties and fifties, spoke with excitement written on his face and tried to convey the shock he felt when he was at the site of the nuclear power plant to the respected managers.

Although the old master didn't get to the point for a long time, Chu Guang still patiently listened to the end, and even asked the staff to pour him a cup of tea and speak slowly.

And as it turned out, he did it wisely.

The dry-mouthed master took a sip of the teacup, as if he couldn't remember what he had just said, so he immediately talked about the idea he was most concerned about.

“…… If we can apply cold start technology to our reactors instead of outdated laser ignition technology, we can increase our energy efficiency by at least 23%! ”

Hearing this number, Chu Guang's face showed an expression of surprise.

“23%？ Does it take so much energy to ignite? ”

Wang Zhengyi nodded and said seriously.

"Ignition is not a one-time thing, it needs to be re-ignited every time the reactor is refilled...... Including shutdown and maintenance, etc. ”

"I see."

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully, and his eyes became more and more important.

23% are theoretical figures.

The actual value may be a little lower than that, but it's quite impressive.

Although the alliance currently has only one large reactor on the surface, sooner or later more reactors will be built as electricity consumption increases.

For example, on the side of the South China Sea Alliance, Li Minghui has talked to him more than once about power supply, hoping that the alliance can build another fusion power station in the south to reduce the cost of electricity in the southern sea and surrounding areas.

The South China Sea Alliance relies mainly on French fries port imports for electricity and fresh water, and while tidal and wind energy are also well used, the maintenance costs of the facilities are there.

And the amount of electricity generated is also a big problem.

The pace of laying of ocean current power stations has not kept pace with the economic growth of the southern seas and beyond.

For an emerging economy that is growing continuously, renewables are destined to be only a supplement to non-renewable energy, and it is difficult to play a pillar role.

Especially in the future, the space elevator will be located in the southern sea, and the local economy and production activities will definitely grow exponentially.

"What about the cost aspect? Have you done the math? ”

Wang Zhengyi nodded solemnly.

"After all, it will take a budget of about 20 million silver coins to complete the technical update...... However, considering that a new reactor will be built in the future, we think the cost is worth it. ”

Chu Guang nodded.

"Now that you've thought about it, there's nothing I have to say here. Of course, you still have to go through the process, you make a budget report and send it to the Ministry of Finance, where a budget review committee will be set up to work with you. ”

Seeing the support of the manager, Wang Zhengyi's face suddenly showed a happy expression, and he quickly nodded in thanks.

Before he came here, he was nervous for a long time, always worried that he would not be able to convince the manager, but he didn't think that the respected manager was even better than he imagined.

Looking at Master Wang, who nodded in thanks, Chu Guangwan said with a smile.

"Thank you, if you really want to say thank you, I'll tell you for the alliance."

After a pause, he said again.

"Of course, don't think that my nod is a certainty in this matter, the documents that should be prepared still have to be prepared carefully. The Budget Review Committee has its own job, and they have to be worthy of the Union citizens who pay for them. ”

"Understood! Mission completion guaranteed! Master Wang said with a red face, he couldn't wait to give a military salute.

Chu Guang watched him leave the office with a smile, then turned on the holographic computer on his desk and flipped through the schedule.

The first batch of docking work is carried out by 21 units, including key public utilities such as the Dawn City nuclear power plant, private factories that build engines and reactors, or purely academic institutions.

The academy is really generous this time, and with the support of these technologies, it is really not difficult to build another ideal city or even several ideal cities on the wasteland.

If the survivors of the Alliance are given enough time, they can even rebuild a new world that is more prosperous than the old era.

But having said that, Chu Guang actually had a premonition in his heart that was diametrically opposed to his intuition.

Sometimes, like other Vault dwellers, he instinctively regards the ideal city as a reference for the era of prosperity, and the prosperity of the ideal city as the only measure of prosperity, forgetting that the standard of measuring things changes with the times.

Perhaps the intensive prosperity of the era of the human union is a thing of the past, and it probably won't happen again for a long time to come.

After all, the Earth of today is not the Earth of two centuries ago.

It's not hard to end the Wasteland Age, but transforming a planet is another.

The Alliance can defeat the Legion, but declaring war on mutant cockroaches or mutant rats will only be a joke.

It's not even just the planet's ecology.

The people who live on this planet are no longer the people they used to be.

History has taught the wastelanders not only lessons, but also radically changed their values and philosophy of life.

These things will not only make the reborn people more tolerant of the alien environment, but will also actively push them to explore more distant worlds, passively dispersing the infinite risks that accumulate with infinite prosperity.

The children of the Alliance will be like seeds, centered on the solar system, and spread prosperity to several or even dozens of light-years, rather than taking tens of light-years of prosperity and building a city.

Chu Guang had a very strong premonition.

In the distant future, the population of the Alliance will definitely surpass that of the former Human Union, but they will not all be crammed into a single home star like the people of the Human Union era, but will be scattered to tens of thousands of planets and space stations.

If that's the kind of future, the experience of "building a massive laser array on the moon, generating electricity, and then sending the energy directly to the earth" is indeed outdated.

On the contrary, the discrete power station is more conducive to the flexible allocation of resources and outward expansion, or it is more suitable for the "settlement" development of wasteland customers.

The disaster that happened in the past may happen again, but it will not be a slump again.

Maybe in the distant future, the workers will go to Andromeda to replicate a megalith, and the South China Sea Alliance will go to the outer solar system to find an ocean planet and open up the hundredth artificial island.

Doomsday?

The whole universe is full of human homes, and you need to be afraid of that thing?

It's really not good, and you can go to the academy that doesn't know which corner of the universe to hide in and make a fortune.

Unless they encounter a crisis that affects the entire universe, there will be no disaster that can carry them away in one wave.

Thinking about the things that would happen in many, many years, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a smile.

"If only I could see that day."

……

[Tragic retribution! The conflict escalates! Zeid condemned the Mammoth State to occupy parts of Bird and Sheep States and create border conflicts, and appointed Grove as the commander-in-chief and Yokal as the deputy commander, marching north!

It is rumored that Gopal, the commander-in-chief of the Gray Wolf Army, had an informal dispute with Zeid over whether the time was ripe for the Northern Expedition, and the fierce power struggle at the top of Tiandu could affect the situation on the front line.

Mayor Yodu called on all parties to the conflict to remain calm and to sit down and negotiate for the sake of their compatriots.

The alliance has not commented on this matter, and the Goblin Observer, which represents the opinion of the people of Dawning City, commented that at least the poor "red soil" escaped.

However, the Daily Survivor of New Saifan takes a different view.

According to unreliable sources, Tiandu had exchanged views with the Eastern Empire on laterite-related issues.

—Survivor Daily, Golden Gallen Harbor Edition

】

[The trial is over!] Jeffrey, former head of the General Affairs Department of the Southern Army, and other war criminals were sentenced to death, Haynes, commander of the "Iron Crossbow" rapid reaction force, and others were sentenced to life imprisonment, and minor war criminals such as Yahui, the former governor of Yongye Harbor, were sentenced to 20 years in prison.

At present, order has gradually returned to the city of Avent, and the reconstruction work of various urban areas has begun one after another, and the port hoisting equipment from the South China Sea Alliance has arrived at the port in the west of the city.

Following the Alliance, the Willant Alliance, and the Corporation, supplies from the Eastern Empire and the New Union are also entering the province of Bartoya, and the city of Avent may have become a wrestling ground for the survivors of all sides.

(Pictured: There is a long queue in front of the talent market, and the words "Recruiting Ship Engineers, 30 Silver Coins per Hour" and other words are printed on the most conspicuous signs)

—Daily Survivor, Avent City Edition.

】

At the entrance of the talent market in Avent City, the crowd is as crowded as the picture in the newspaper.

Looking at the endless stream of recruitment points, the man with a burn scar on his face stood in the queue with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

The newspapers said that he could find a lucrative job here, but he could only drive tanks and nothing else except shooting.

The line finally came to the front, and he hesitated to step forward to introduce himself, but before he could speak, the staff at the recruitment point took the initiative to ask.

"Name?"

The man swallowed, rubbed his hands and said.

"Ba ...... Bart. ”

The staff in charge of recruitment pushed the form in front of him along with the pen.

"There are not ten people named Bart here, but five of them...... Well, write your last name and by the way, the work you know how to do, and we can help you arrange the right job. ”

Bart nodded hurriedly, picked up a pen and wrote his last name on the form.

When he saw the column where he was good at work, he hesitated for a moment, and finally wrote his resume up.

When the staff saw it, their eyes lit up.

"You know how to drive a tank?"

"Yes......" Bart looked at the staff at the recruitment point vigilantly and nodded slowly.

The staff member did not call the guard, as he expected, but patted him on the shoulder happily.

"Great, we need someone to drive the excavator!"

Bart was stunned.

"Dig, excavator?"

"There are tracks anyway, don't they? And it's all produced in the industrial area of Ravenca, and I'm sure you'll do the job well! ”

The staff member squeezed an eyebrow at him, and as he spoke, he shoved a card much thicker than a badge into his hand.

"This is your badge, go to the address on the badge at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to report, if you don't come, it will be invalid."

"I'm sure I'll be on time!" Bart hurriedly made a gesture, but saw that the man didn't look at him at all, so he hurriedly asked, "Is that all?" No other formalities? ”

The staff member smiled and waved his hand.

"No, now is the time to employ people, as long as you have the hands and feet to understand people's words. By the way, if you are in a hurry to use the money, you can take your work card and go to a bank outside the talent market to apply for a relief loan. Your hourly wage is 12 silver coins, and they will advance your salary for a week based on your hourly rate, and there will be no interest for a month. ”

Another staff member next to him interjected teasingly.

"He didn't finish his words, in fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have hands, we can pretend for you first."

"That's not necessary......" has never been treated so kindly, Bart looked at the two of them gratefully, "Thank you......"

"You're welcome, brother," the staff member patted his arm vigorously and grinned at him, "people have to look ahead, and I wish you a new life as soon as possible." ”

After thanking him repeatedly, Bart didn't bother anymore and hurriedly left the recruitment site.

He only felt that his steps were extremely brisk, as if he was floating in the sky.

12 silver coins per hour!

If you can't do it in a month, you can get 2000 credits!

Converted into dinars, this is a high salary!

In fact, you don't need to exchange it for a dinar at all, you can buy much more things with silver coins than with dinars.

He couldn't wait to fly home and tell his dear wife and children the good news!

But just as he walked to the door of the talent market, a Willant in an overcoat stopped him.

"Hey, brother."

Looking at the unfamiliar face, Bart frowned slightly.

“…… Do I know you? ”

You could feel his alertness, but the man didn't care, just smiled and said to him.

"I have a more lucrative job here, do you want to consider it?"

The expression on Bart's face became more alarmed, and he immediately said.

"I don't do anything illegal."

"It's not illegal, it's just a matter of life, but I know it's nothing to you," the man smiled and continued in a low voice, "There's a war going on in Borneo, and there is a need for instructors there, you know, I can help you get that number." ”

As he spoke, he shook both of his index fingers.

"20,000 silver coins a month."

Twenty thousand!

Bart looked at him in amazement, and for a moment his heart was indeed moved.

But only for a moment.

He thought of his family and the old days, and after a moment's hesitation, he finally shook his head.

"Nope."

He also realized to some extent that what he had done before was not honorable, let alone honorable.

He didn't want to go back to that anymore.

The man had a disappointed look on his face, but he didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, I'll ask someone else...... If you change your mind and I haven't found anyone else, you can come back to me. ”

Bart nodded, but didn't take the business card in his hand, and hurried away with the badge in his pocket......

Not far from the gate of the talent market, in a tavern that sells beer at night and coffee during the day, Fang Chang, who was sitting by the window, compared two different copies of the "Survivor Daily" in his hand, and suddenly let out a heartfelt sigh in his mouth.

"I remember that the administrator of our shelter said that we would have to get many copies of the survivor's daily newspaper so that we could make sure that the survivor's daily newspaper belonged to the survivor as much as possible, so that it would not be stolen by any cub after he was gone."

Dolly Wan, who was sitting across the table, smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"As a result, his good assistant didn't expect that someone had already stolen the sign before he left?"

The newspaper office in the industrial area of Ravenca has been set up and is on the right track.

After the liberation of Avent City, she immediately rushed over with Fang Chang, and then established the "Daily Survivor" branch of Avente City and even Barthuya Province here.

All of the reporters and editors are natives of the city of Avent, including Willantes and survivors of other ethnic groups.

Listening to that pleasant voice, Fang Chang shook his head and said in a casual tone.

"It's debatable whether it's stealing or not, but we do see the unevenness of the world in the newspapers."

The branches in Mammoth City, Xifan Harbor, and Tiandu have basically been removed from other newspapers, and even if they are reprinted, they will not be reprinted as news, but only as news material.

The preemptively registered newspaper in New Saifan is teetering on the edge of the blacklist...... And the reason why I didn't go up is because there is a "newbie protection period" setting, and the other is because the newspaper there can occasionally reveal some useful information, which can't be completely regarded as Salen's meat horn alone.

As for whether the sign of the Survivor Daily has been stolen, Fang Chang is inclined to think that it is not.

That thing was not a Union thing in the first place, but a survivor's newspaper, so why steal it?

It's their own thing, and they're lying because they're liars, intentionally or unconsciously.

As for whether the Brahminas have been deceived or not, he is also more inclined to think that there is not.

If you want to say why, maybe it's because he watched them get to this point little by little.

As the administrator says, this is a complicity to commit a crime.

And predictably, the punishment of fate has already come.

Dolly looked at him intently, suddenly looked out the window, and sighed softly.

"I just think it's pitiful that they are the winners, but they have to endure the hardships that the losers have not suffered...... Maybe there's a better way. And the war is over, can't we find a way to help them? ”

“…… We have enough aid and I can't think of anything more to give them than a profound lesson. ”

Fang Chang flipped the page of the newspaper in his hand, paused and said.

"Moreover, the war is not over...... The murderer of that murder hasn't been caught yet. ”

"Do you mean the Enlightenment?" Dolly's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry gathered on her face.

She had heard about the previous events in the Tower of the World, including the monster with twisted tentacles.

Fang Chang shook his head.

"Not only the Enlightenment Society, but also the celestial beings who are suspected of standing behind the Enlightenment Society...... Of course, only the former has surfaced so far. ”

The little mouse of the Enlightenment......

The guy was scurrying around with a Gauss rifle on his back and was wearing optical camouflage.

They don't even know if this guy is still in the city, or if he's already run out.

In addition, the people of the Eastern Empire and the New Union State also operated around the city of Avent, searching for engineers and unemployed officers of the Southern Army under the banner of rescue, and dividing up the unfinished cards in Tyr's hand.

It is worth mentioning that the Southern Corps is not without high technology, at least in jet aircraft and missiles, but it is not as prominent as metallurgical technology.

In addition, the Enlightenment has also used the Vault dwellers to help Tyre train some high-tech talent.

When the final battle broke out, not all of these people were in the "Tower of the World" building, and many lucky ones survived.

However, compared to the threat from the Lagrange point, Fang Chang felt that those spies who were collecting talents were not much of a threat.

It's even a bit pediatric.

Anyway, the really valuable talents have long been divided between Dawn City and Triumph City, so you can take the remaining scraps if you want.

The alliance is no worse than these two.

When you're full, don't make a mess when it's critical.

Looking at the trace of worry floating between her eyebrows, Dolly suddenly felt a little distressed and couldn't help but want to touch his head.

This guy has been and breaking his heart for the league all day, even when he's around her.

"If there's anything I can do to help...... Be sure to tell me. ”

Facing the eyes that hurt him, a soft smile appeared on Fang Chang's face.

He didn't say anything like "you take care of yourself" or "don't mess up", he just reached out and touched the cute little head.

"yes, definitely."
