Chapter 260 Waves and B4 Level Mission!

Lone Wolf studied for a long time but still couldn't figure out how this machine could achieve more than 60 horsepower.

It's not because the machine is too complicated.

On the contrary, it's because it's "too simple", so simple that he couldn't help but wonder if the game production team was being lazy.

The principle of the pot-camel machine is actually not difficult. In essence, it's nothing more than boiling water. The movement of the piston drives the crankshaft to rotate and then drives the flywheel to output power to the outside.

Referring to the engine, ignoring the cost performance, it is actually very easy to simply increase the power. Increasing the cylinder volume, increasing the number of cylinders, or increasing the pressure in the cylinder, etc., these methods are all possible.

However, what confused Lone Wolf was that the pot-camel machine in front of him was actually a single-cylinder one!

Sixty horsepower on a single-cylinder pot-camel machine?

This is not a joke.

Lone Wolf suddenly said.

"What is the maximum horsepower of a single-cylinder diesel engine?"

Hearing the young professor's question, Brother Levin was stunned and answered subconsciously.

"I've heard of 30 horsepower."

Brother Ce Suo also said: "I remember there were 35 horsepower."

Lone Wolf nodded.

"About that."

In his impression, there seemed to be 40 or 45 horsepower, but they were not common. In fact, the more common ones were about 40 horsepower.

Agricultural tools simply don't need such a large horsepower, and large equipment with hundreds or thousands of horsepower can't use a pot camel.

A single-cylinder pot camel can actually reach 60 horsepower?

And it only weighs 500 kilograms?

Lone Wolf couldn't help shaking his head.

"I've never seen such an outrageous thing."

Brother Ce Suo laughed.

"It's the first time I've seen it too."

Brother Levin scratched his head and said.

"I don't understand. I didn't understand it when I dismantled the light trucks of the Legion before. The design ideas are actually similar. Why is the horsepower of their power equipment a little bigger than our imitations?"

Picking up a belt, Lone Wolf held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly muttered to himself.

"...What is this?"

Brother Levin was stunned.

"This...is the engine belt?"

Brother Ce Suo also nodded.

"I think so too."

This is nonsense.

Lone Wolf certainly knows that the thing in his hand is a belt, but he can't tell what material it is made of.

"It doesn't look like neoprene..."

Unfortunately, he is neither an expert in materials science nor an expert in engines. He just has a little understanding of these fields because he studies automation design.

"Not only the belt, but also the gasket, hose, O-ring... All the rubber parts are made of materials I have never seen before. Is it a fictional setting?"

Lone Wolf knocked on the outer shell of the cylinder with a wrench, and listened to the clanging echo, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Fuck? This broken thing can't be made of titanium aluminum alloy?"

Not really.

But it may be something similar.

The more Lone Wolf studied, the more surprised he was.

The game production team was quite smart. They directly made up some materials he had never seen before. He couldn't say that the design that was unlikely to be realized in reality was completely unreasonable.

The three pillars of modern technology can be basically summarized as energy, materials, and information. Just like there are many people who know IC design, but not everyone can make chips.

The game production team did not give a solution, but only gave a general direction. The deeper he dug, the more surprised he was.

He finally understood why Yanfeng was so obsessed with this game.

"Something!"

Looking at the lone wolf standing next to the machine and mumbling, Brother Levin and Brother Ceso looked at each other, and their faces showed strange expressions at the same time.

"Should we remind him that this is a game? Maybe the thing he can't figure out is just a line of code from Brother Guang."

Although they sometimes get serious, they are far from being so paranoid.

Brother Ceso scratched the back of his head.

"Well, let's wait for him to understand it himself."

He's a newbie.

That's normal.

When everyone first came here, there were so many things they didn't understand. Brother Daoxialiuren was still wondering what kind of cement was used in those houses in the wasteland until a month ago. It hasn't collapsed in two hundred years. Later, he gradually got used to it.

Anyway, there are still seven of the same pot-carrying machines here.

It's enough for them to be busy for a while.

…

Official forum:

[Announcement: The immortal Bachi has joined the shelter. He is from the Utopia on the far east coast and is determined to become a great adventurer. However, due to the infection of slime mold, part of his body has become a mutant. He is currently helping Dr. Yin Fang with some data processing work in the scientific expedition team. ]

[Usually Bachi will wear armor and move around the shelter. If you see a mutant that can speak human language, please do not hurt it. ]

[Luka: The sunny days have lasted for nearly a month, and the snow on the surface has basically melted. The busy farming days are getting closer. ]

[Wrench: There are death claws in the area of ​​Yuanxi Town. Three residents have unfortunately died. The dangerous area has been marked on the map. Please be careful! ]

[Repair patch: Season system correction, melting snow causes the air humidity to rise, please keep warm. ]

Garbage Picker Level 99: "Fuck! I was wondering why I started disconnecting intermittently again!"

Macabazi: "Hahaha! Shame on you!"

Crow: "Woo woo woo, is winter going to end? Can we see the snowman made of small fish again? (ó﹏ò?)"

Irena: "Manager: If winter doesn't end, rats will run out of my granary. (Funny)"

Night Ten: "Crow! Have you arrived?"

Teng Teng: "Yes, we just arrived tonight. By the way, Boulder City is really far away. It's only 20 kilometers away on the map, but it took two days to get there."

Tail: "And there's a setting to close the city gate at 8 o'clock! Fortunately, we arrived at the last ten minutes. (`-д-;)ゞ"

Sesame Paste: "It was a close call, just a little bit."

Sisi: "But speaking of which, the city gate is so lively at night, especially when standing under the giant wall, you don't feel like you are in the wasteland at all."

Tail: "It feels like a big city! ψ(｀?′)ψ"

Teng Teng: "We plan to rest for one night! We will continue to explore the mysteries of this city tomorrow!"

Ye Shi: "Hehe, it's good to arrive safely."

Fang Chang: "(squinting)"

"..."

Two full days have passed since the caravan set out.

Two tons of spirit leaves have been delivered to Boulder City. Chu Guang learned from Shu Yu that Lister has paid all his 100,000 chips.

It seems that spirit leaves are really a hot commodity in Boulder City. Almost as soon as they were transported to the warehouse, buyers came to the door with chips.

In order to facilitate the transaction, Shu Yu opened an account in the Boulder City Bank according to Chu Guang's instructions. The huge amount of 100,000 chips will be completed in the form of a transfer transaction.

This will be much safer than keeping it in a safe.

In addition, the owner of the Gray Squirrel Clothing Store recently came to the door again, hoping to purchase another batch of artworks, and said that it would be better if the quality of those socks could be slightly worse.

"The quality is a little worse?"

On the phone, after listening to Shuyu's report, Chu Guang said with a strange look on his face, "I have never heard such a strange request."

Shuyu: "I also find it strange... But he didn't tell me the reason, just asked us to think of a solution."

"Well, this matter is actually easy to say. The production of devil silk is limited. We originally planned to develop some substitutes for the sinking market." After a pause, Chu Guang continued to ask, "By the way, how is the recruitment of personnel going?"

Shuyu: "According to your instructions, I have recruited 23 employees, serving as field and office positions. I offer them a salary of 40 chips per month for a two-month internship, and 100 chips per month after becoming a regular employee."

The salary expenditure of the staff is 2,300 chips. Counting the monthly rent of 800 and the expenditure budget of 400 chips, the monthly expenditure of this office has reached 3,500 chips.

This is not a small amount.

If it is exchanged for arms, it can buy nearly 30 rifles.

As expected, we still have to find a way to open up more ways to make money.

"Have you sorted out the resumes of the employees?"

Shu Yu: "It has been sorted out!"

Chu Guang said immediately.

"Send it to me."

"Okay, sir!"

After receiving the resume sent by Shu Yu, Chu Guang simply glanced at it.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a resume in the talent market of Giant Stone City, and these personal profiles with photos are just a simple record of the situation of the admitted personnel made by Chu Guang during the interview.

For example, ask the other party what he did before and what special skills he has. After taking the record, compare all the information asked and effectively screen out those dishonest interviewers.

What surprised Chu Guang was that many of them had worked in the factories of Giant Stone City, and one of the resumes made him shine.

"I used to be the workshop director of the Giant Stone City Steel Plant... Is the information on these resumes credible?"

It is really a waste of talent for such talents to work as clerical workers.

Although he is over 40 years old, it is not a problem at all in Chu Guang's opinion.

Shu Yu said cautiously: "This... there is no way to verify it. The information on the resume can only be used as a reference. But he gives me the impression that he has rich management experience."

Chu Guang nodded and continued.

"You can ask him for me to see if he is interested in working in the steel plant in the northern suburbs. The salary can be tripled."

Shu Yu said seriously.

"I will ask for you, but... according to my observation, these local residents are quite resistant to leaving the Giant Wall. Except for those mercenaries with high mobility and very poor people, few people accept field work that may leave the Giant Stone City."

"It's okay, just ask, don't force it."

Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued.

"In the future, you can go to the talent market in Giant Stone City more often, whether you go there yourself or send someone to go, or simply set up a fixed stall there. The factories in Giant Stone City cannot absorb the excess talents, and we can do it for them."

In short, it's just to dig more people out of the corners.

Not only talents, but also second-hand equipment that has been eliminated. Everything that Giant Stone City can't use can be taken over by the northern suburbs.

In this way, Giant Stone City lost its employment rate, optimized the talent market with extremely unbalanced supply and demand, and eliminated excess industrial capacity.

Although he suffered a little loss, Chu Guang didn't think it was a big problem.

What is the spirit of internationalism?

Of course, it is self-sacrifice.

Shu Yu immediately understood what the manager meant, and said with a knowing smile.

"I understand, sir."

Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Well, as long as you understand what I mean."

Although he looks a little young, this young man named Shu Yu is unexpectedly capable and saves him a lot of work.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang browsed around the official website.

Today's forum is as lively as ever.

The Mole Squad and the Edge Squad have arrived at the Garbage City. They encountered the nest of centipedes on the way, but fortunately they escaped unharmed.

More than 20 centipedes were killed. They took off the gallbladders and skins, which were the only valuable things of the centipedes, and then continued on their way.

There was also a small episode here.

Although the caravan guards said that the meat of centipedes was not edible, Lao Na still roasted a leg out of curiosity to try.

Facts have proved that things in the wasteland cannot be eaten casually.

Even with a physique of nearly 20 points, he vomited for half an hour while holding a tree trunk...

Except for the Mole and Edge Squads, the other players were not idle and had their own things to do. Brother Quanshui was doing the mission of the scientific expedition team and helped Yin Fang collect a lot of valuable information. Junji Jun was playing in Yuanxi Town and impacting the bottleneck of LV10.

There are also professional players who helped him design the irrigation canal on the north bank of Linghu Lake and the underground drainage system of Changjiu Farm.

At present, the engineering team that spared the lives of the people is working intensively.

What surprised Chu Guang the most was Qiangren Suonan, who was sent to the north by him before.

After dawdling all the way, this rat man brother finally arrived in Xizhou City with a group of rat brothers.

Although many rats fell behind on the way, it was not a big problem for him.

After arriving at the destination, Qiangren Suonan quickly beat the local rats with his extraordinary fists and feet, as well as his unethical tricks, and made them bow down and worship him as the King of Rat in Xizhou.

Qiangren Suonan, who had conquered a piece of land, did not stop there. After getting familiar with the terrain in the southern suburbs of Xizhou, he quickly established a safe foothold in the southern urban area of ​​Xizhou City with the radio, hibernation cabin, battery and small generator he brought.

After contacting the signal tower of the shelter, the map information he had explored along the way was also synchronized to the server through VM.

According to the description in the post by Qiangrensunan, the situation there can only be described by the two words "desolate" and "miserable".

The ruins were filled with a lingering stench, corpses were randomly abandoned on the streets, or hung on viaducts and street lights, some people had slogans insulting the resistance hanging around their necks, and the streets were full of rats, cockroaches and hyenas.

The whole city was like hell!

"...The Tooth Clan of the Bone Chewing Tribe has robbed everything they can. Except for a few survivors who organized a resistance army, the entire city is left with only themselves."

"With the style of those plunderers who eat the last meal and don't care about the next meal, it is estimated that they can't hold on for long, but perhaps the think tank of the legion has played a role. They began to drive some of the captives to farm. It is said that as long as they can grow food, they will not be eaten. Those captives are working hard in the fields."

"I really can't bear to chew their crops, and the sheep's horn potatoes buried in the ground are not delicious at all. So I asked my little brothers to be restrained and wait until the food is in the granary before feasting."

"In addition, the entire city is not completely under the control of the Bone Chewing Tribe. Although they destroyed all the survivors' strongholds on the surface, they did not conquer everyone. Some people still survived."

"Those people call themselves the resistance army, hiding in sewers and air-raid shelters, fighting guerrilla warfare in the ruins, causing a lot of trouble for the looters. Although the Ya clan sent two thousand-man teams to hunt them down, the results were minimal, as the environment there is like a maze."

"The leader of the Ya clan seems to be planning to gain a foothold in Xizhou City and then continue to expand the territory southward. I am trying to contact the local survivors. They are not many in number and poorly equipped, but they are very motivated. If we can provide them with a little help, they may be able to help us contain the trouble in the north."

"It's not difficult to find them. I now have more than a hundred brothers. The only thing that gives me a headache is... How can I make them believe in a talking mouse? Damn it, why is it a mouse! I wish I were a cat!"

The post was three pages long.

Chu Guang read the post to the end and made a general summary of the information in it.

Although Xizhou City fell under the iron hoof of the Bone Chewing Tribe, it was not completely conquered. There were still many survivors there who were making a tenacious resistance.

Since Xizhou City had accumulated a large amount of looted spoils and slaves, the Ya Clan, who planned to use Xizhou City as a base for the southward advance, could not ignore those resistance organizations and could only allocate a large number of people to deal with them.

This would be a protracted war.

Before solving their own troubles, they could not spare all their strength to continue to move south.

Looking at the sorted intelligence, Chu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, the situation in the entire Xizhou City was completely a black area for him. No one knew when the plunderers from the north would come again. It could only be analyzed from a probability perspective that it might be after the autumn harvest.

Based on the information that was forced, Chu Guang could now basically determine that the Bone Chewing Tribe in the north would not be able to spare any effort to deal with him for at least three months.

After sorting out the information in the post, Chu Guang immediately edited two more intelligence-collecting tasks, and the publisher was set as [Forced].

However, Chu Guang did not send the task immediately, but set a timer to send it, delaying it until tomorrow morning.

This will make it seem less deliberate.

"...If we can get in touch with the local survivors and support their resistance movement, it might be a good idea."

Chu Guang touched his chin thoughtfully.

To the south of Shelter No. 404 is Boulder City. The space to the south is too small, and the situation in Qingquan City is complicated. If you want to expand, you can only go north.

Xizhou City is a good choice.

There are a lot of reserves there, both in terms of manpower and material resources.

The only problem now is that the number of players is still too small. As the strategic depth gradually expands, 1,100 players are obviously not enough.

"It would be great if we could open the B4 floor!"

Now is the farming period, whether it is planting vegetables or moving bricks, people are needed.

Glancing at the time, it was getting late, Chu Guang turned off the computer with regret, got up and went back to his room to sleep.

That night.

He had a very long dream.

In the dream, there were many strangers whose faces were not clearly visible, calling him daddy, daddy.

He was annoyed by the calls, and just when Chu Guang wanted to ask who their mother was, he suddenly woke up from the dream.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt the wetness and stickiness on his back, and Chu Guang immediately guessed what happened.

There was no surprise.

He upgraded again.

"... This is too unexpected."

Muttering to himself, Chu Guang sat up from the bed and moved his limbs to adapt to the enhanced body.

The strength felt the same, and the thinking speed seemed to be the same as before, but the reaction speed seemed to be faster than before, and the vision was also slightly enhanced.

So this time the enhancement was agility?

Just when Chu Guang was recalling what he had done yesterday, a line of light blue floating windows suddenly appeared in front of him for the first time in a long time.

And the words in the floating window also made him really feel what it meant to be caught off guard.

[Mission: Wave! ]

[Briefing: According to air condition monitoring data, the concentration of mutant slime mold spores active in the air has reached a critical value, and the probability of a new mother nest forming is as high as 97%. This will be a severe test for the survivors of Qingquan City. ]

[Requirement: The "wave" will arrive within two weeks. Resist the invasion of the "wave", search and eliminate the mother nest north of the third ring road, and completely eliminate the crisis of the wave! ]

[Reward: B4 level authority of Shelter No. 404]

[Available reinforcements: "200 hibernation capsules" × 2]

After reading the task interface from beginning to end, Chu Guang was stunned.

Good guy.

This trouble came at too good a time.
