Chapter 39: The Energy Crisis and the Secrets of the Red City
The peak team and the special team went to the Red City to farm monsters, and Cheng Whistle looked at the 547 pieces of [electronic components] and began to think.
"It's another big amount of material in the account, so theoretically, you can summon new players again."
"But. How to solve the energy problem, it's head-scratching. ”
"Players, give me some strength, supply energy to me!"
Originally, he had high hopes for the origin of mixed crystals, and those mutants could get spars by brushing them, but the mutants and old players fought a few waves and found that they were a little strong, so they ran away!
A total of dozens of small grains were harvested, adding up to more than 5,000 points of energy, which was not as much as a spar for him!
As the player's level rises, the activities become more and more frequent, not only decomposition or resurrection, but also the energy consumed has increased, and the current daily energy consumption of the base is as high as 6000 points, which is a serious overload!
The energy brought from the Marauders has already rushed to the base, but at the current cost. At most, it will last for a week, and then he will have to use the 20,000 energy in the [Mixed Crystal] he brought back from the Chamber of Commerce, and after using it, it will be the remaining 30,000 energy of the [Thunder Crystal] he just got at hand.
Full of calculations, according to the current consumption, he can still hold on for half a month.
"No. If all the crystal energy is used to charge the base, then my personal ability will rise very slowly, which is wrong, how can the player be a burden to me. Gotta figure out from them. ”
At present, most of the new players are around level 6, and they have reached level 7, and the level of life players will be a little lower, but it does not affect them, and they are not going to rely on them to engage in energy.
It would be good to build the base well.
"Open source and throttling have to be the means"
After editing for a while, Cheng issued a world announcement.
[Notice! IMPORTANT NOTICE! 】
[Due to the current low energy supply of the base, it has fallen into a state of energy crisis, and all soldiers need to find energy, and any form of energy can supply energy to our natural disaster base!] 】
[Due to the emergency situation of the 'energy crisis', the natural disaster base has adjusted some mission rewards and equipment use fees]
[1. The rewards for all actions that turn in energy are doubled!] 】
[2. The cost of using the loot generator has been doubled, the policy of free for the first two times per day has been cancelled, and the consumption of iron coins has been doubled for each use.] 】
[3. Players who explore large energy mining areas or energy generation sources will receive special rewards from the Lord.] 】
Sending this announcement out, Cheng Xiaofeng nodded himself.
"That's the case. The logic of the player's behavior will change a bit, and it will be transformed from a pure brush player to explore and collect. ”
"It's going to be exploration. At present, the atmosphere of the base is not quite right, and those who are brought by the peak team and the drum washing machine are biased towards brushing, and the level is quite fast, but it has also led to the delay in solving the energy problem. ”
This time, he went to Flying Sand City and got a lot of rewards, which also shows that more exploration players are needed to discover a broader landscape and opportunities.
After the announcement was issued, all the players chatted on the World Channel.
Drum washing machine: "I'll go!" Isn't this aimed at us brush players! The consumption has doubled, we have to decompose a lot of things every day to fight the void spirit, and the iron coins can't make ends meet, and the pure version is resentful! ”
Inexplicable: "Explore, then our mysterious professional players have an advantage, after all, there is a crow such a summon with a good vision, understand, let's rent a horse and go out." ”
Abnormal Necromancy: "There are so many monsters around, it's hard to get out if you want to. In case he dies along the way and his body is eaten by wild beasts, isn't it a waste of a resurrection coin? More losses! It's better to continue brushing, and then go out of the mountain when you reach level 10, and then go out of the mountain, and if you are more expensive, you will be more expensive, and the big deal is not to decompose and sell the store directly, and you can also hoard iron coins. ”
Forgive the hat: "Actually, the impact is not big, it should be brushed or brushed, but the income from going out may increase, this is an uncertain income, it is possible to go out for a day and find a crystal energy mine, and then find the lord to make a fortune, or it is possible to go out for 3 days, and not find anything and die back."
Fang Gang: "Good guy, our special service team has just entered the Red City and has been out of the world to announce. I also happened to announce that players who have passed level 10 can team up with us to come to Red City and farm some good things. ”
Butter 2 yuan a piece: "Damn! I just went to break things down and the price went up! Let me spend an extra 30 iron coins, and the already insufficient wallet is even worse, the lord is not a son of man! ”
['Butter 2 yuan a piece' has been banned by the lord for 1 hour.] 】
Everyone: "??? ”
Many players are talking about the announcement, some of them are scolding the lord, and some players who are tired of brushing up are just planning to go out and have a look.
The more than 50 horses in the base were rented out by the player almost instantly.
If Cheng Whistle hadn't reacted and asked Lao Zhao to stay with 3 horses for backup, they would have been taken away by the player.
On this day, the players in the Scourge Base ran in different directions and embarked on a path to find energy.
Cheng Xiangfeng looked at the maps in all directions constantly opening up, and his heart was much more comfortable.
"The player is still a good conductor, just give a little hint and go in your own direction, good luck to you."
However, within half an hour, the players' signals were disconnected from the communication base station.
Beyond the distance!
"Damn! The tower coverage is too short! ”
The construction of a signal tower mainly requires a large amount of iron and electronic components, and there is no shortage of electronic components at present, iron
"Xiaoxiao, how is the ironmaking going? How much have you saved? ”
Xiaoxiao, who was tinkering in front of the blast furnace, immediately stood up and returned: "Lord Lord, the iron we smelt every day has been stored in your warehouse, and we have hoarded a total of almost 2 tons!" ”
"Okay, that's enough for me to build two towers."
Xiaoxiao's daily task for several of them to engage in steel is to turn in iron, and the current level has reached level 8, all of which are eaten by eating daily quest experience.
Xiaoxiao and Yukiko recruited 3 helpers from the new players to engage in the base's steel business together.
Xiaoxiao also opened a weapons shop, selling weapons built by several of them.
There are very few weapons and equipment generated in the [Loot Generator], most of which are grabbed by players from the outside, and the quality is very average, basically white and ordinary, and Xiaoxiao and they have mastered the technology of forging [rare] equipment, which is widely popular among players.
Their small shop not only accepts custom weapon services, but also creates some melee weapons with various attributes to hang up in the store.
At the same time, there is a job in the weapon shop that other players can do: renting skeletons.
Before going offline, Necromancer players can rent skeletons to the Weapon Shop for them to smelt iron, each giving 3 iron coins per hour.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's equal to the on-hook income, don't be the kind you don't want in vain.
For example, a necromancer with a full-level skeleton can rent 3 skeletons for a minimum of 8 hours a day, which is 3*3*8=72 iron coins.
That's almost enough to buy two of the latest [Frost Barrage] bullets.
That's why necromancers are still willing to lease skeletons to them.
So, now ironmaking. Basically, skeletons are working, as long as some simple instructions, they can be allowed to complete the operation of the machine, especially high-level skeletons are best used, and there is a certain amount of wisdom, you can do some complex instructions similar to adding plant ash.
Xiaoxiao and Yukiko no longer make iron by themselves, and have handed it over to skeletons, and the 3 new life players will supervise and correct deviations, and their iron production has also increased significantly.
Xiaoxiao called their assembly line as: magic automation.
Milky Yukiko: "Eh, you said that if we didn't find steam and electricity on Earth, but discovered crystal energy, would we go from the industrial revolution to the magic revolution?" And then it became what we are now? ”
Turkey-flavored naboba: "Quite possibly! It has always been materials that drive scientific and technological progress, and the basic materials have become crystal energy, which will naturally promote another technology, which can be called crystal energy technology. ”
While they were chatting, Cheng Whistle Feng and Zero had already chosen a location to build a new communication base station.
"If you have enough materials to build 2 base stations, put them in the darkest place on the map around."
To the north is the Red City, which is just on the edge of the central base station of the Cataclysmic Base, so there is no need to put it for the time being, and it is difficult for players to go north before breaking through the Red City, and most of the routes are blocked.
The southeast is the territory of the wanderers, but it is also the route of the Colossus to this side, and it is the necessary place for Cheng Whistle and his players to often move, so put a communication base station.
The other is to put one in the southwest, where in addition to the ethereal spirit, there is also a vast unexplored area, and it can also cover the mutated bio area of the mountain col, killing two birds with one stone, and it is very cost-effective.
The two base stations are a big project, and the nano sappers in Cheng Xiaofeng's body have copied billions of themselves, and they have acted quickly.
The energy of the natural disaster base is also slowly decreasing, which is used for the transportation and construction of nanobots.
"It will take a day to build and re-summon a shadow guard, go to the Red City with the peak team and take a look, and give Cheng Dafu a week to practice and play a game."
Cheng Whistle has just upgraded a number of skills, and he must re-summon the Shadow Guard to inherit it.
After some manipulation, the new shadow guard entered Cheng Dafu's body, and Cheng Whistle himself lay weakly on the recliner, and then closed his eyes peacefully.
"Go, my Shadow Guard!"
Red City.
Six members of the Summit Team and 30 members of the Special Forces team stood at the gate of the sewage plant.
The thin dog looked around vigilantly, and there was no phenomenon of a large group of charred people besieging it before, even if its feet were covered with mud, it did not attract the dispatch of the cleaning and charred people.
"How did you do that? Cut off their power? ”
Long Yi pointed to the new computer in his hand: "It's just some simple code, I temporarily took over part of the city's self-defense mechanism, and cut off the scorched people from us, don't believe you."
Bang!
He fired a shot into the sky, and the next second, the Red City rioted!
The cameras in the surrounding streets were twisted to illuminate their figures, and countless strange sounds could be heard in all directions.
"I found you!"
"We are one!"
Knock knock!
The sound of banging on the gate came and went, and the charred man was trapped behind an unknown number of gates.
Snort~
There was also a screeching sound of fingernails scratching steel plates, which made everyone's ears uncomfortable.
The demon fox said, "How long can this defense withstand them?" Will it be broken suddenly? And then surrounded us? ”
Ryuichi: "No, I hacked into the city's urban defense control system and found some information. The city was transformed into an intelligent combat readiness before the end of the world, and was built by the state to deal with a serious crisis, like a . Spare the city of Noah's Ark on the ground.
The gate here is extremely strong, not to mention scratching through, even if it is a missile, it may not be able to blast open at the first shot, of course, the most important thing is that these scorched people will not destroy the gates inside this base, because the chips in their brains are still connected to the main system, and the chips have programs that prohibit breaking the gates. ”
Lin Tang listened with relish: "It's fun. There's also a plot here to introduce some of the backstory of the post-apocalyptic wasteland, which is a bit interesting, so according to you. If you hack all the way into the host, won't you be able to control these scorched people for our use? If only these things could be controlled. Boy! We're going to wipe out all the monsters around the base! Level up 10 in a day! ”
Ryuichi: "Theoretically. It's possible! But based on this game,I don't think the game planning will leave such an obvious loophole for us to drill.,It's estimated that there will be a program air wall at the last step.,So I can't enter the host of the Red City and other settings Anyway,You know,The plot is not enough.,The system comes to make up.,Don't ask.,Ask is the setting.。 ”
Polar Bear: "Good guy, you know how to write online.,The game is actually quite similar to the online text.,It's the core of upgrading and fighting monsters.。 ”
A few people chatted and walked on the streets of Hongcheng.
Ryuichi added: "At the moment, I can only control a small part of the gate, in order to get those computers, I have planned a route to the warehouse, so this is the only way I can go, come with me." ”
The task force walked forward, and the dogs followed.
Lao Ao thought for a while and suddenly said, "No."
Thin Dog: "Huh? What's wrong? ”
Although Lao Ao usually speaks very little, he is a team tool, but as long as he speaks, it is very important information.
Lao Ao pointed to the closed street and said, "Since the scorched people have been isolated, they can also go to the warehouse to pick up things, why do they take us with them?" Aren't you afraid that we will grab resources? Or are there too many resources and they can't finish moving them to give us points? Not very logical. ”
"Hehehe~ smart." Wei Long's ears were very sharp, and he said with a smile after hearing it.
"There are actually two things that I want to ask you to do, and I need your help."
"These controlled gates lock us in a more outlying area, roughly the size of the city. The suburbs are the first places outsiders will enter, so there have been quite a few scavengers before us who have picked up everything, and most of the locations are almost empty!
We have already moved the resources that can be moved, and in the current situation, if you want to change the rise and fall of the gate, it will inevitably cause a fierce battle, and when the time comes, you will need your combat strength to deal with some of the scorched people who rushed in with us. ”
"The other is that we found a hidden door in the computer room where we moved the computer, but it couldn't be opened, judging by intuition. I think there's some important prop or clue in that door. ”
