Chapter 347 Technology that changes the world!

"The smell of phenolic compounds... a bit like kerosene, but not." After smelling it for a while, Mosquito gave an uncertain evaluation.

Zhuihun, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up.

"Could it be Hydrazine 50?"

"It doesn't smell like ammonia, so it shouldn't be."

Mosquito shook his head and screwed the cap on the bottle immediately.

Phenolic compounds are easily oxidized in the air.

He couldn't determine the composition of this thing for the time being, and could only roughly infer that it should be a kerosene analogue based on the viscosity and smell of the liquid.

But then again, this small bottle is a bit heavy-

Wait.

Oil? !

Mosquito, who was holding the glass bottle, suddenly stopped and stood there with a wooden expression, as if his brain had crashed.

"Are you stuck?"

Seeing Mosquito's stupid face, he went up to persuade him to fight and waved his hand, but found that this guy seemed to be offline and had no reaction at all.

"Is there a bug in this item?"

The God of Death muttered, and curiously reached out to take the glass bottle to take a look.

However, before his hand touched the bottle, Mosquito shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly came to his senses, and then rushed into the factory building next to him without saying a word.

Although this guy is agile, he has never been seen running so fast.

Seeing Mosquito's sudden action, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"Is he possessed?"

"Not really."

The Soul Chaser, whose major is somewhat related to chemistry, vaguely sensed something, and his expression became intriguing.

"Fuel..."

"Fuel?" The man who tried to stop the fight frowned.

"Well..." The Soul Chaser nodded, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and continued, "And it's probably the kind we're looking for."

...

The fields in the northern suburbs of Shuguang City.

Sitting under the mill, Pai looked at the green fields in the distance, holding a bowl of shaved ice in his hand, and squinting his eyes comfortably in the breeze.

People were walking on country roads with two-headed cows, or working in the fields with farm tools. Children were running and laughing under the shade of trees, and in the distance there was the roar of tractors.

This was a scene she had never seen in Xizhou City.

It was hard to imagine that the war had just ended a few days ago...

The little fish sitting on the steps next to her was the same, swinging her legs leisurely and digging the shaved ice on her knees happily.

Perhaps because she was greedy and ate too fast, she couldn't help but close her eyes and let out a "woohoo" sound from her mouth.

"Damn... my blood tank is empty." The big white bear sitting not far away had an expression on his face that could easily be misunderstood by the bear.

"Ahaha..." The cat girl had a relaxed smile on her face and gently rubbed the big white bear's fur.

Today was also a peaceful day.

But speaking of it, the war has just ended for less than a week.

If it weren't in the game, everyone would definitely not be able to have such a relaxing vacation like now.

Sitting on the side, Weiwei touched his chin, and the wrinkled nose seemed to be very smart.

Suddenly, she spoke.

"This is not scientific."

"Hmm?" Sisi glanced at her.

Weiwei quickly turned his head and looked at Sisi, his eyes sparkling.

"Don't you think so? Weiwei's little fish is getting cuter and cuter!"

"You... your words are getting more and more dangerous."

Speechlessly moving away from her bestie, Sisi glanced at the little fish not far away, and suddenly understood why Weiwei suddenly said that.

I remember the first time I saw Xiaoyu, that kind and well-behaved little girl had a hint of yellow hair.

As a medical student, she knew very well that it was a sign of zinc deficiency.

And now, that hair is already enviable black and shiny.

"...I guess it's because of the improved nutrition. After all, they are still growing." Sisi said thoughtfully.

From the game setting, the citizens of the Human Alliance in the Prosperous Era have accepted genetic modification technology and widely used it in medical beauty and other fields.

As long as the nutrition is up to standard, people's appearance is above the standard under normal circumstances, and the residents of the shelter are even more so.

So much so that she was a little numb to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in reality.

"Oh! In other words, will it grow up?" Wei Tail said in surprise.

Sisi was slightly stunned and nodded.

"It should be... yes."

NPCs will grow up with the passage of time.

If this logic is valid, it means that as long as you play enough, sooner or later you will see Xiaoyu grow into a queen?

Ah this...

It's too real.

"Then, what about Wei Tail?!"

"Uh, if he doesn't die?" Looking at Wei Tail with an expectant look on his face, Sisi nodded again, but his tone was a little uncertain.

Upon hearing this, her tail suddenly became like a deflated ball.

Looking at the windmill slowly turning above her head, she sighed.

"Damn! This is too difficult."

Sissi: "..."

The fields were filled with the sound of frogs and cicadas.

In the valley in June, the air was already a little hot.

In order to make artificial rainfall, the factory of the New Alliance made a pressure difference refrigerator, and later the chemical plant made the refrigerant "difluoromethane".

Thanks to this invention.

Now the industrial zone of the New Alliance can produce refrigerators independently.

Although it will take a long time for these home appliances to enter every household, smart little players have already moved a lot of ice-related delicacies into the game.

Like shaved ice with jam, milk-flavored popsicles, and popsicles... A lot of cold delicacies appeared on the streets of the north of Shuguang City, which opened the eyes of the merchants and travelers who came and went.

It's not that there are no such things in other places.

But there are few places as "complete" as here.

What is most incredible to them is that this is a delicacy that ordinary people can enjoy!

This is the most incredible...

"... I heard from Brother Chu that in two months, the scenery here will be more spectacular." After recovering from the headache of the ice, Xiaoyu happily put another mouthful of ice in his mouth.

By that time, the plains north of Linghu Lake will turn into a golden sea wave.

Listening to Xiaoyu, Pai's blue eyes were filled with a trace of longing, but soon turned into melancholy.

"Two months... That means we still have to wait for a long time."

Although it was only two short days, she already liked this place.

There are endless delicacies to eat, endless scenery to see, endless stories to hear and endless books to read, and all kinds of interesting people.

Of course, everyone in Camp 101 is also a very good person, but everyone is studying what they are interested in.

No one has ever spent a leisurely afternoon with her like today.

Friendship.

This word, which she had only seen in books, was unexpectedly so beautiful.

However, when she thought that she would be going back in a few days, Pai felt worried that her vacation was about to end.

Looking at Pai with a somewhat melancholy expression, Xiaoyu tilted her head.

"Two months will pass quickly."

"Well... that's what I said."

Staring at the shaved ice in her hand, Pai was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu blinked.

"Hmm?"

Pai made up her mind and spoke.

"Do you want to... go to school?"

"Go to school?" Xiaoyu tilted her head and said, "Do you mean night school? Brother Chu said that there is not much to teach me there."

Night school mainly teaches arithmetic and human language, and the main purpose is to eliminate illiteracy, and will not teach too difficult things. Under the guidance of Brother Chu, she has taught herself algebra, geometry and statistics.

According to Brother Chu, she can already go to school as a teacher and teach children.

Pai shook his head and looked at her seriously.

"It's not that kind of school, it's to learn more powerful knowledge."

She visited the night school of the New Alliance, where the courses taught in the school of Camp 101 were no more than three hours of content.

It's not just the industry that is backward here, the education level is also quite worrying.

Looking at the serious Pai, Xiaoyu's face showed a trace of confusion.

"More powerful knowledge is..."

"It can make the windmills above our heads turn faster, let the cars in the fields run farther, so that people don't have to sit in the car, but can sit on the sofa in the living room, blow the cold wind to plow millions of acres of fertile land, and then spend a whole day with their families..."

Pai described what he had seen in the VR images.

From farmland to factories, to people's squares and parks, theaters and schools.

Although she had never really seen that era, nor had the people in Camp 101, her master once told her that as long as they could pass on the information about that era, one day people would recall their former pride and find back what they had lost.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to her, listened carefully.

Although she always felt that it sounded like a dream, she was at the age of dreaming, and she couldn't help but reveal a trace of longing on her face.

"It sounds so amazing..."

"Isn't it? Although the knowledge we have is only a very small part, it is also very powerful!" Pai raised his nose slightly with pride, and continued in a mature manner, "As long as you study hard, this day will not be far away."

"But... can I really do it?" Xiaoyu whispered.

"You can do it! Believe me!" Pai gently reached out his hand and touched her forehead, "I can feel... you have some rare qualities, similar to those residents of the shelter, although they are completely different in nature."

Xiaoyu: "...Qualities?"

Pai nodded.

"Have you noticed that you have special talents in language and arithmetic?"

"Brother Chu did praise me, saying that I learn very quickly..."

When someone touched her head, Xiaoyu's cheeks turned slightly red. She shyly hid back and whispered, "But how did you know?"

"This is the trait I'm talking about!"

Pai looked at her and continued with a serious expression.

"Our camp occasionally recruits some young newcomers with unusual brain structures. It only takes them one second to think about a problem that takes ordinary people one minute. They can master knowledge that ordinary people need one year to learn in just one month!"

"We will teach them knowledge and help them develop their talents, just like the pioneers of Shelter 101 once helped our fathers."

Even without the help of the 'Enlightenment Chip', they still rely on their own talents to reach an astonishing level of brain power.

"For the situation that happened to them, they call it-"

"Awakener!"

Xiaoyu held her breath slightly, her bright eyes full of surprise and confusion.

I...

Have the characteristics of an awakener?

To be honest, she didn't pursue abilities too much, and her current life was already very satisfying to her.

As for learning.

On the one hand, it was because of fun.

On the other hand, Brother Chu told her that doing so would help everyone, and she also wanted to help him from the bottom of her heart and share some of his work.

If she could learn more powerful knowledge...

Seeing Xiaoyu still hesitating, Pai couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, just when she was about to make an extra effort to abduct Xiaoyu, a suspicious cry came from not far away.

"Boss!!! Please accept my knee!"

"Huh——?! What is this?!"

Seeing the strange man suddenly jumping out and rushing towards her thigh, the frightened Pai jumped aside reflexively, not understanding what the man was saying at all.

It was not until the white bear held the man down that she saw clearly that the man pressed to the ground was the rude guy she met in the industrial zone yesterday.

"Fuck! Do you want to crush me to death?! Let me go, I have made contributions to the alliance, and I have shed blood for the managers!" The mosquito, who was held down by Rourou's claw, was lying on the ground with his teeth bared and yelling.

"You, you guy, don't move around... Be honest!" Rourou was a little flustered looking at the moving mosquito, and accidentally sat on the whole bear, and the mosquito rolled his eyes instantly.

"Oh! Banta has been executed! Please rest assured to leave the rest to Weiwei!" He raised his thumbs neatly, and Weiwei showed a smile on his face that he thought was super handsome.

Xiaoyu looked at a helpless expression, and didn't understand the situation at all.

"Anyway, even if it is an attempted crime, it is enough for 15 days," Sisi looked at the mosquito on the ground with cold eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Looking at the mosquito who was almost out of breath, Zhimahu walked up and said with some worry.

"Could there be some misunderstanding? Let's let him go first."

Even if he is convicted, that is the guard's job.

Finally realizing that Mosquito was about to be disconnected, Rourou quickly let go and got up from him.

"Ahem... Thank you, I almost died unjustly." Breathing in the fresh air, Mosquito looked at the kind cat lady with gratitude.

However, what shocked him deeply was that Zhima Paste's expression subtly hid back.

"... I didn't say you were wronged."

"Damn it! Okay... I apologize first, sorry! My behavior just now was indeed impulsive! It made you feel troubled! I didn't mean to offend you, I just wanted to express... my surprise."

Mosquito took a deep breath, looked at the frightened Pai, and sincerely apologized in an unskilled human language.

After listening to Mosquito's explanation, Pai finally understood what was going on, and then nodded suddenly.

"It's okay, it's okay. A gentleman doesn't bear grudges!"

"But, although I understand that you can't express your admiration for me, please don't do such things that can cause misunderstandings next time!"

Although she said this in a generous manner, her nose tip that couldn't help but curl up revealed her pride in her heart.

Rourou raised her bear paw and scratched her head.

"So that's how it is."

"Emm... Although the behavior is still very changeable, this explanation is reasonable." Sisi nodded.

In the game, everyone may have behaved a little unrestrained, just like Wei, who is obviously a quiet girl in real life, but her inventory of emoticons is unfathomable.

But since the person involved forgave him, let it be.

Everyone's expression relaxed, except for Wei who regretfully "tsk"ed, as if he regretted not being able to be a policeman.

Looking at Pai with gratitude, Mosquito continued in an excited tone.

"I have a request! Can you help me?"

"Yes, yes! Go ahead." Pai nodded proudly.

She liked the feeling of being a teacher the most.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Mosquito took out an empty glass bottle, stared at her eagerly, and spoke excitedly incoherently.

"That... holy water! Can you give me some more?"

"Hmm?"

Tails tilted his head and didn't understand.

Sisi, who was standing next to him, was stunned for two seconds. After staring at the translation on the VM to confirm, he silently pressed the shortcut button with two words in the upper right corner.

"... Anyway, call the police first."

...

Niu Ma Club Group.

In order to take care of their good brothers who were still in the cultivation cabin, Lao Bai and Fang Chang went offline and reported the latest progress in the game.

Fang Chang: "We just received a task issued by the administrator. The goal is to escort NPC Luca to Boulder City and sign a friendly agreement with the mayor of Boulder City. If nothing unexpected happens, this task should be related to the next version."

The main plot of "Wasteland OL" is mainly promoted by "player behavior", "special events" suspected to be set by the planner, and "exclusive tasks" issued by the faction leader.

Although all interested players can see the complete plot, and the official website will also update the plot content in real time, there are not many opportunities to participate in the main plot of the game as a plot promoter.

Many tasks are unique.

This is also the reason why most players are keen to brush contributions and "favorability".

④ Who knows: "If you don't understand, just ask, why don't you just take down Boulder City? (curious)"

When Brother Ye Ao was still in the group, he had heard of this game and had been following the progress, but he was too lazy to make an appointment.

This situation is not uncommon.

Even if it is money, it is impossible for everyone to like it, let alone the game.

He prefers listening to his friends bragging to playing games.

Lao Bai: "Those who forget war will be in danger, and those who love war will perish. Now is the time for farming and adventure. After almost two months of street fighting, it's time to take a break. (grin)"

Fang Chang: "Well, actually from the perspective of the game background, it's hard to fight. The New Alliance is the lawful camp, and the Stone City is probably neutral. The raiders and mutant tribes are chaotic."

"Given the situation in the wasteland, the fire of civilization may be extinguished at any time. The possibility of a camp war between the lawful and neutral camps is not zero, but the probability is very small. Unless the planner is really out of work, the hammer of the manager is replaced by a sword, or a big news comes out."

WC Zhenyou Mosquito: "The filial son of Lordaeron is okay. (funny)"

Ye Shi: "Huh? Why did you come down here too? Exploded again?"

WC Zhenyou Mosquito: "Get lost! I just came down to play a big account. (rolling eyes)"

[Reported by players for misconduct against NPCs, banned for two hours] Of course, he was embarrassed to say such things.

The photos and recordings were all there, and Mosquito, who had no way to defend himself, simply accepted the punishment.

Anyway, it was only two hours, so he could just come down for a midnight snack and think about how to lick the fuel formula.

There was no other way, that bottle of fuel was simply too awesome!

Stable, strong thermal stability, no freezing at low temperatures, excellent fluidity, suitable density and high calorific value!

Not only can it burn continuously and completely, but it also produces almost no carbon deposits and coking... The disadvantages are almost negligible, and he can't count the advantages with two hands.

If this isn't black technology, what is it?

It's simply amazing!

As for why Mosquito was offline, no one asked much, after all, similar situations have happened more than once or twice.

Fang Chang continued typing.

"... Anyway, the basic situation is like this. We will leave in an hour and return to the line immediately. We will contact each other when we arrive at Boulder City."

Quit smoking: "I am so envious! TAT"

Kuangfeng: "Remember to record the video."

Laobai: "No problem! Brothers, take a good rest these two days. (grin)"

"Fuck!"

I am so angry that I can't play the game!

After replying a message, Ye Wei rolled his eyes and threw his phone on the table.

However, at this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the screen, and he had to pick up the phone again.

"Brother, would you consider the ready-made house in Greentown Mansion? (grin)"

The person who sent the message was the agent he had just added this afternoon.

Then, five photos were thrown over in a row.

Ye Wei took a look and found that the environment was indeed good. The only drawback was that it was on the riverside, a little far from the school.

But it didn't matter.

At most, he could live on campus from Monday to Friday and live outside on Saturday and Sunday.

Ye Wei edited a message and replied.

"Okay."

It was probably a group message, and the other party paused for a while.

A few seconds later, a message came.

"Uh, brother, what do you mean?"

The agent was a little unsure.

It's not that his business ability is not good, but he just looked at the customer's circle of friends, and he can only say that he is too low-key.

He looks like a student!

"Take me to see the house tomorrow morning." Ye Wei didn't want to explain, and replied concisely, and then turned off the message reminder.

In order to relieve the "withdrawal reaction", he repeatedly turned on and off the screen of his mobile phone several times, and finally resisted the urge to log in to the official website forum, and casually opened Weibo, which he hadn't logged in for several months.

He wanted to watch a funny video to kill time, but at this moment, he clicked on the hot search list and suddenly found that the first one was not the celebrity's little family affairs.

Even three consecutive posts were talking about the same thing.

"...Major breakthrough in lithium battery technology?"

Ye Wei read it quietly, and he couldn't help but feel curious, so he clicked in to take a look.

The first thing that caught his eye was the video of CCTV.

"Recently, the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has made breakthrough progress in the research on the 'lithium dendrite problem'. According to the analysis of industry insiders, this problem is an important bottleneck that hinders the research of lithium negative battery..."

The narration ended and the camera turned.

Facing the interview of the reporter, Academician Liu Yiping said with deep emotion.

"To be honest, we have only made a small contribution, which is really unworthy of such an honor! The reason why we have made such great progress is mainly thanks to the help of our cooperative units, as well as the full support of all sectors of society and the country..."

Academician Liu's words were very modest and rigorous, and he roughly introduced the fields involved in the research from the perspective of popular science.

After interviewing Academician Liu, the reporter then turned the camera to an industry insider - the chief manufacturing officer of a well-known battery company.

Different from Academician Liu's modesty and calmness.

Although the industry insider was restrained in front of the camera, his red face showed how excited he was at the moment.

It was as if he had won money by betting on the Chinese national football team.

"... This will become a milestone in the new energy industry! It is no exaggeration to say that our lives will undergo earth-shaking changes because of this!"

Although Ye Wei did not quite understand what he was saying.

But from the expression on the man's face, he could roughly feel the shock of this new technology to the industry.

The video was too long, so Ye Wei did not finish watching it, but went directly to the comment section.

It was beyond his expectation.

Hundreds of thousands of comments and millions of likes were actually seen in a piece of news in the field of scientific research.

"Awesome!"

"6666!"

"Fuck, then my phone can be charged once a week?!"

"The power battery of my new energy vehicle is only 200Wh/kg... Breaking through three digits means 1000Wh/kg?!"

"Be more confident, it should be at least 1000! (grin)"

"It's okay for a small job, but you are too modest! T.T"

"By the way, what is that cooperative unit? It always feels so mysterious!"

"+1, it didn't show up at all in the interview."

"+10000, those who don't show their faces are all considered as relevant departments. (funny)"

Browsing the comment section of the news, Ye Wei was also filled with emotion.

Unexpectedly, the changes that affected the world did not appear in a grand form.

Instead, on an ordinary night, when he took off his helmet and picked up his phone, people's lives had changed quietly.

When everyone realized it.

The future has arrived.

After reading the analysis of a certain big V in the forwarding, when he saw how the thin layer of artificial SEI film would affect the national energy strategy and the global energy pattern, Ye Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Awesome!"

These big guys are too strong!

Although he rarely pays attention to hot news and his major has nothing to do with batteries, he can't help but feel proud and proud when he hears that the country has made significant progress in scientific research.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Advanced production technology is the wealth of the whole society.

When the social productivity completes the qualitative change from quantitative change, every individual in the society will usher in a brand new version.

It's a pity that he is not a researcher.

I can only give a thumbs up to those big guys who have made silent contributions.
