Chapter 210 A Sudden Snowstorm
Without Kevin's reminder, Gangya knew that the group was not easy to deal with.
He lost two battles in a row in one day, killing nearly 40 people and a quarter of his ammunition, and even destroyed a light pickup truck.
If he doesn't leave now, he might have to die here!
Just as Gangya led the remaining troops to escape from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at dusk, the little players who had just logged off were still discussing the "medal system" that was soft-launched this time.
In fact, the setting of medals has existed before. After each battle, the outstanding team or individual can get one.
However, that kind of medal does not have a physical body. It is just a number displayed on the personal page, and there is not even a pattern.
Like now, not only is there a specific medal style, but you can also get a physical medal in the game. This is the first time in "Wasteland oL"!
The certificate of the winner of an epic battle!
This is much more impressive than the krypton gold skin!
At this time, many players were surprised to find that the medals they had received before were all upgraded to a gear-shaped icon after this server announcement.
A closer look shows that the number of teeth on the inner and outer rings of the medals adds up to 404.
After selecting the medal, there is another line of description
We start from here!
The medal system has been greatly changed!
However, this basic medal seems to have only added patterns and elements, and attached a version number to the medal. There is still no physical version, only an electronic version.
The change seems to be just to distinguish it from the special medal.
But even so, for the absolute majority of combat professional players, it can be regarded as a surprise.
What if?
What if the operator fills the hole in a future version? For example, a physical medal in the game is added to the medals issued before, or a hidden achievement is unlocked when the medals reach a certain number.
It is not impossible!
Fountain Commander: "I figured it out! The 'Gear' medal in the normal battle is a blank medal, so there is only an electronic version, no physical version!"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "To add, the unlocking condition of the 'Shield' medal is to win the final victory in the epic defense mission!"
Quit Smoking: "Wait, that is to say, there are similar achievements in assault, support or assault missions? (Surprise)"
Ward Foot Foot Who Levin: "Blind guess, if there is a silver medal, there should be a bronze medal, a gold medal and a diamond medal."
Yaer I Want to Go to the Toilet: "Let's have another master, otherwise I'll blame you for not being used to it."
Debt Big Eyes: "Do you think there will be a military rank system in the future? (Grinning teeth)"
Canyon Runaway Mole: "It's possible if there are too many people, but it seems unnecessary if there are too few people. Besides, there is already an identity system. If we open a rank system for the soldier profession, won't all players go to the soldier profession? However, it is still recommended that the operator add a "command" skill to the skill proficiency, so that it can increase the skill level like shooting and fighting, so that the big guys who like to lead the team can be tricked out, so that there will be too many people in the future, and those who can't command will run to grab the captain position, and then grab the full team for an outing. (Sigh)"
Irena: "I suspect you are implying that the chicken-killing brother. (Funny)"
Midnight Chicken Killing: "(Black Question Mark.jpg)"
Construction Site Boy and Brick: "Hahaha, it makes sense to me! Those who are afraid of taking the blame like to follow the infantry team, but they have to give the big guys some sweetness. But don't give too much, it will affect the balance. (Smirk)"
Night Ten: "Planning: I'm copying, I'm copying. (Funny)"
...
That night.
After the peak of offline.
Chu Guang returned to the shelter and glanced at the discussion post about medals in the forum.
When he came to the first floor of the younger brother Ye Shi, Chu Guang laughed.
Plagiarism?
Can you have a little more vision!
The planner heard the voices of the players. Isn't this something we should be grateful for? If I don't read a single post, you are still spending contribution points as money!
"A large part of the contribution points and regional reputation actually comes from military merits. It is indeed inappropriate to set up an additional military rank."
Chu Guang touched his chin and said after thinking for a long time.
"... However, it is indeed necessary to add the proficiency of command skills."
After copying and pasting the post of the mole brother into the document, Chu Guang made a note at the end.
Change: skill proficiency adds "command". According to the difficulty level, scale, casualties, and war score of the battle, the player's "command" skill proficiency in the game is calculated.
Later, he will ask Xiaoqi to help design a calculation formula, which can also be regarded as increasing the gaming experience of the team leader.
After all, as many players in the forum have reflected, leading a team is a very troublesome thing. If the team is played well, it is the credit of everyone, and if the team leader is not played well, he will be blamed.
The proficiency of command skills can intuitively reflect a player's organizational ability.
When the big guys build a team, other players always rush to join. The team that is dragged down often ends up not having enough people, and is automatically merged by the system and votes for the captain.
In the future, players with high command and many medals should become resources that big guilds compete for, or they themselves will be guild leaders.
This can also be regarded as a hidden benefit.
After reading the memorial, Chu Guang turned to the forum's fan zone, intending to see how his design plan for public bidding was completed.
What surprised him was that many masters had already submitted their papers!
"Is it so fast?"
Chu Guang was just about to see the imagination of his little players, but he clicked on a post and almost burst out laughing after just one look.
This guy drew his face on the silver coin!
And it's not a side profile, but a frontal portrait!
To be honest, the drawing is quite similar, which directly raised the appearance of the silver coin.
However, because it is so similar, Chu Guang even thinks that it is no problem to find the real person with this coin.
"Good guy, do you think I'm too old?"
It's not a good thing to be too prominent in the wasteland.
After all, there are many more crazy people than normal people in this world.
It's a good drawing!
Don't do this next time.
Chu Guang thought that when the Human League is revived and the wasteland era is over, it will be no problem for him to take the credit.
As for now, it's better to take it easy.
In addition to the one with his head, there are some weird designs. Some have small fish, some have crows and vines... These are relatively normal. Chu Guang couldn't help but want to lock the abnormal ones.
After browsing around, Chu Guang found that the most reliable one was Mole Brother.
Since this guy was banned last time, he changed his ways and never drew books again. Instead, he drew some serious things with depth and connotation.
For example, the silver coin this time.
In his design, the front of the silver coin is an artistic "n", which looks the same as the number "1" in the game.
On the back is the claws of a split-claw crab, and an "F" is outlined around the edge of the coin. The rows of lines look like a forked olive branch.
The edge of the coin is designed with anti-counterfeiting teeth, 202 coarse teeth, 202 fine teeth, adding up to 404 teeth, with very small spacing, which increases the difficulty of reproduction.
Since the silver coin itself weighs 10g, 100 silver coins are equivalent to one kilogram. Even if someone solves the material and process and successfully counterfeits the silver coin, it will be discovered quickly when it is circulated.
The guards on duty will check the silver coins carried by every person entering the survivor settlement, and the market will also increase patrols and other supervisors in the future. It is almost impossible to carry a large number of counterfeit silver coins into the survivor settlement under Shelter No. 404.
"404, notFound, river crab... OK." Chu Guang's eyes lit up after reading the post, and he immediately marked the post of Brother Mole.
The overall design is grand and beautiful, with all the elements but not mixed, and there is a certain threshold for manufacturing.
If there is no better design method until I get up tomorrow morning.
Then use this set!
...
The next morning.
The little players of Shelter No. 404, stepping on the morning sun, one after another poured out of the sanatorium.
Almost as soon as the first batch of players reached the surface, everyone in the server received a pop-up window.
Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the player "Canyon Escape Mole" for his second-generation currency design, which was adopted by the official bank of Shelter 404!
Since the player chose to make the achievement public, the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame!
The players who just stood on the square saw these two messages and were instantly shocked.
"Fuck! It's a shady deal!"
"That's right! It's too shady! I even drew the administrator's portrait on it, but it didn't pass!"
"Damn it, a stinky rat got Xiaoyu's mysterious gift!"
The real rat who just came out of the sanatorium was forcing others to do what they wanted. Hearing the cursing of the players around him, he looked up in confusion.
"What? Who's calling me?"
All the good names were given to dogs: "No one is calling you! We're talking about that mole!"
Forcing someone to do something: "???"
Unable to bear it any longer, the mole brother couldn't help but yell.
"Fuck! Can you have some conscience? My design has all the elements, why don't you use mine?"
Master Cai of human body outline: "I don't care! Anyway, not using my plan is a shady deal!"
Canyon escaped mole: "@#%!"
...
Black is black.
Although the European emperor is envied and hated, everyone is still very curious about what the mysterious gift is.
Surrounded by a group of people, the mole brother came to the door of the bank and unlocked the legendary mysterious gift from Xiaoyu
"Xia Xie! Thank you for your contribution to everyone in the shelter!"
Xiaoyu stood up from behind the counter and expressed his gratitude seriously.
This unexpected bow made the Mole a little flustered.
Only the person being thanked knows what it feels like.
"No, no, it's just a small favor..."
The so-called mysterious gift is certainly not just a thank you.
Afterwards, Xiaoyu found a golden coin from the drawer and handed it to him.
The style of the coin was very special. There was an "a" pattern on the front and the number 1 next to it, which seemed to commemorate the alpha version that was about to end.
On the back, the pattern of the shelter's gate was exactly the same as the previous "gear" medal.
"We will start from here!"
A sense of realization suddenly emerged in the Mole's mind.
Perhaps this is the second-generation currency that the operator originally intended to use.
Realizing this, the Mole suddenly felt an indescribable touch in his heart.
His behavior changed the game.
Although it was only a small bit...
The players who were watching the excitement around did not have so many psychological activities. Seeing that there were no other rewards, they dispersed with a lack of interest.
"Hey, what mysterious gift did I say? It's just a commemorative coin."
"No attribute bonus, go away."
Hearing these short-sighted remarks, Mole rolled his eyes at the group of people.
"You know nothing!"
Can this kind of out-of-print commemorative coin, which is only issued once in the whole server, be the same as ordinary commemorative coins?
When there are more people in the public beta test in the future, as long as the official does not hold any "return to the factory" activities, the value of this coin will be worth at least a room of silver coins!
How can the value be summarized by a word "commemorative coin"?
Carefully putting the coin in his pocket, Mole plans to put it in the warehouse and keep it well, and by the way, insure it.
This will be his lucky coin in the future.
No matter how much it is worth, he will not change it!
...
A new day starts with the warehouse manager's demand list and daily activity tasks.
The little players who received the tasks carried their weapons or tools and headed towards the wasteland under the rising sun.
But...
This is only part of the players.
While some players have already started working, some other players are stuck in the basement of the sanatorium.
In front of the elevator leading to the surface, a long line has been formed from the elevator door to the door of the shelter!
Looking at the crowds of people in front of the elevator, Ya Ya couldn't help but sigh.
"There are too many people."
The cat ears on his head moved, and Aoao Zhimahu, who was also queuing next to him, sighed softly.
"I have already started to be socially anxious."
The tail not far away stared at the cat ears for a long time and wanted to reach out to grab them, but was stopped by Sisi.
The commander of the fountain wearing an exoskeleton stretched his neck and looked forward. He was impatient and couldn't help but yelling.
"Can the people in front hurry up! I'm in a hurry to go up and charge!"
The people in the queue in front didn't want to pay attention, but when they saw that it was the European Emperor, they immediately retorted without any hesitation.
Zhang Hai: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, what the hell? I don't want to hurry up?"
Elf King Fugui: "That's right, you complain about the slow elevator, but I also complain about the slow elevator! I can work 16 hours a day at most, and the queue is almost half an hour!"
Shao Chadzi, who was carrying fishing tools, was shocked when he heard this.
"Damn, 16 hours to complete it, are you a devil?!"
Fishing simulator can be played for 16 hours? !
Elf King Fugui looked at him strangely.
"What else? Isn't it basic to complete the daily active tasks and then refresh the warehouse? If you don't work hard, how can you get the money to buy guns, how can you get the sequence level without working hard, and how can you become stronger without working hard! I think 16 hours is too little, the fatigue value setting should be cancelled!"
I was standing next to him and couldn't help shaking my head when I heard it.
"Too much, too much!"
Is it that serious?
It's just a game!
Although he has been online for 16 hours these days...
...
Standing on the third floor of the sanatorium, Chu Guang and Xiao Qi looked down at the hustle and bustle of the square.
Although he did not hear the complaints of the players below the elevator, Chu Guang could already feel the pressure brought by the increase in the number of people on the server from the long queue.
Fortunately, he still left some space and did not open the remaining 300 cans.
Otherwise, with 1,100 people, the scene would be terrible!
Xiao Qi raised the camera and looked at Chu Guang standing beside him.
"Master, Xiao Qi feels that the elevator's capacity is not enough."
Chu Guang nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, we have to think of a way."
Although the maze on the B3 floor diverted a group of players, there were still four or five hundred people queuing in front of the only elevator leading to the underground during the peak hours of logging in and out every day.
At the most exaggerated time, the queue could even stretch from the front of the elevator to the door of the buffer room.
In fact, think about it, even if the elevator can accommodate 20 people in one trip, it will take more than 20 round trips to send all the players in line to the surface.
In fact, if the players bring equipment, the limit of one trip may be about 12 to 15 people.
If it is not for saving, many players plan to live outside.
Now Chu Guang has two plans. One is to demolish the sanatorium, dig a hole in the original place, and build a larger elevator that can transport more than 100 people at a time.
The other plan is to abandon the elevator and dig a slope hundreds of meters long from the surface to the door of the shelter.
However, the threshold of these two plans is a bit high. Whether it is to demolish the sanatorium to dig a well 20 to 30 meters deep, or to dig a "basement entrance" hundreds of meters long, it is not an easy task.
At present, the only feasible way seems to be only one, that is to build a few more hibernation capsules and send them to the surface, so that the shelter can become a real resurrection point, and the save point is placed on the surface.
At present, 67 hibernation capsules have been produced. Except for the 30 allocated to the industrial zone, the rest have all been sent to Changjiu Farm.
Chu Guang plans to increase the quota of hibernation capsules in Changjiu Farm to 100 before the next version, as a public save point for players.
As for whether there is a more convenient save method...
To be honest, Chu Guang also hopes to have such a method, but unfortunately, there is no better solution at present.
Scanning and recording the development progress of gene sequences, although it is a matter of one sentence, is actually a very complicated process, because it involves epigenetics, a popular and cutting-edge research field in DNA research.
The mainstream view is that humans have 20,000 to 30,000 genes, but not all of these genes are expressed. Most of them are like commented-out codes in computer programs.
How to selectively express specific genes and produce the traits people need is actually more complicated than simply modifying a specific gene.
Although the genes stored in the shelter are all excellent varieties selected from the gene pool of pre-war civilization, it is obvious that even the first-generation managers did not master the method to fully express these genes.
If it can be done, it should be at least a "singularity" level technology.
However, although the first-generation manager did not complete this work, he provided a fairly reliable "solution" for his successor before his death.
That is, let the clones actively evolve under natural selection, and then use scientific means to record the selection and expression process of their DNA, and simulate the process in the next synthesis of the clones, and gradually approach the final 100% by growing again and again.
The scanning principle of the hibernation capsule is the same as that of the culture capsule. It is necessary to search all the body cells, and this takes about 3 to 5 hours, which can be completed just when the clones are asleep.
It is currently unlikely to save anytime and anywhere.
Fortunately, compared with the synthesis of clones, the scanning function is not very energy-consuming, so the rated power of the hibernation capsule is much lower than that of the culture capsule.
Only one 100Kw generator is needed to run 100 hibernation capsules, which is quite economical.
"The generators are running out, and the industrial zone is a big power consumer. We have to find a way to solve the energy problem."
The entire nuclear fusion generator is not very realistic. The fusion battery is too expensive and cannot be charged. The more it is used, the less it will be. Although the fuel rods are durable, they are hard to find, and the electricity in the shelter cannot be stolen.
The best generator is still the wood generator.
There is a shortage of everything in the wasteland, except wood.
Mosquito and his team have already made steam engines. If they work hard to make pot-carriers, Chu Guang thinks it will not be a big problem.
In fact, the legion's light trucks use pot-carriers, which can be moved with wood, which is very convenient. The life profession players in the new industrial zone are already studying imitations, and it is said that there are some clues.
"I hope it can be completed before the next invasion of the Bone Chewing Tribe."
Chu Guang plans to set two small goals for the players.
One is to build a 1MW thermal power station in the new industrial zone, the outpost base, and the Changjiu Farm, and enter the electrical age.
The other is to solve the problem of the engine and be able to produce vehicles independently.
Not to mention immediately forming a motorized force, at least a few more trucks would be good.
There are only nine trucks available for four transportation routes. To send troops to a slightly farther place, the trucks in the industrial zone must be freed up in advance.
This transportation capacity is too tight.
Sitting on the third floor of the sanatorium, Chu Guang peeked at his little players through the hummingbird drone.
Among them, the Niu Ma team has started a new round of strategy for the greenhouse ruins. The current progress has reached the B5 floor, which is very close to the B9 floor.
The team of Brother Mole has also entered the greenhouse ruins, but their strategy is upward rather than downward. The current progress is on the third floor, and there are still two floors left to be conquered.
Mosquito at the edge of the industrial zone is testing the improved rocket, trying to make the rocket more powerful, and a fat mouse is following him.
Brother Ceso and Brother Levin from the 81st Steel Plant have completely abandoned the dream of 88mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and turned to researching 20mm small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, just like Mosquito gave up the small-caliber jab rocket.
Although the caliber of 20mm is a bit small, as long as the number of barrels is enough, the power is not small!
If the quadruple is not enough.
Then use the twelve-barrel!
Use the rain of bullets to light up the whole sky!
Seeing his little players working so hard, Chu Guang was very pleased. With more and more talents in the server, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be done by himself.
Back then, he had to go to his neighbor's house to buy vegetables in person.
Now, if he needs to get something, there are players running errands for him.
...
It's past noon.
The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility outside was getting lower and lower.
At first, I could see 10 meters away, but now I can't even see downstairs clearly when I stand on the third floor.
For safety reasons, Chu Guang issued a server announcement to remind players to pay attention to the blizzard weather and asked Xiao Qi to take back the drone.
This little guy is too small and not very powerful. Chu Guang is worried that the wind will get stronger and blow it directly into the lake.
The camera looked at the snow outside the window, which was getting heavier and heavier, and Xiao Qi said worriedly.
"Master, the snow outside seems to be getting heavier and heavier."
"I can see it."
Staring at the snow outside the window, Chu Guang always had a bad premonition.
There are currently more than 600 survivors gathered at the New United Gas Station. According to the plan, the survivors of the Dongliu Camp will arrive at Changjiu Farm at noon today.
If the impact of this blizzard exceeds expectations, the subsequent evacuation plan will undoubtedly be seriously hindered.
At this time, Chu Guang suddenly received a pop-up window on his VM.
The message was sent by Luca.
Chu Guang's expression changed slightly after glancing at the screen. He immediately stood up and walked towards the power armor parked nearby.
Xiao Qi turned the camera and looked at him.
"Master?"
"I have to go to Changjiu Farm."
Chu Guang entered from the back of the power armor and put on his equipment, and continued to speak concisely.
"I'll leave this to you."
