Chapter 160

The Fifth Ring Road in the northern suburb of Qingquan city.

The 20th floor of an office building located at the edge of the ring elevated line is covered with dark green slime fungi and corroded moss.

The orange tracer warhead weaves a net in the corridor. The hot air almost scorches the air, and the center of the fire is a three meter high humanoid beast.

Its skin has been completely keratinized, its muscles are black, its arms protect its head, and it has pushed forward two steps against the mass bullet of electromagnetic acceleration.

But it's just two steps——

"Roar --!"

With half an unwilling roar, the three meter high tyrant finally fell heavily under the gathering fire of Gauss Rifle.

Five power armor, in this terrain, there is no reason to lose.

Luyang made a neat gesture. The small team members in power armor came forward, continued to push along the corridor full of slime bacteria, and came to the side of a heavy alloy door.

One of the team members went to the door, pulled out a thread with the thickness of thumb from the small arm armor and connected it to the touch screen on the right side of the door.

"The key has been obtained... Successfully entered security mode."

"Open the door."

"Received, opening."

The door panel trembled and opened slowly to both sides.

The stale air came to my face.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Lu Yang felt a burst of joy.

Leaving two small players at the door, he took the other two people in and looked around. The excited expression on his face became more and more obvious.

"The comparison results are consistent..."

"We found it!"

Carbon dioxide trap!

High density urban agglomeration is one of the indispensable basic public facilities.

In the prosperous era of high concentration of population and industry, carbon emission is a terrible figure. It is obviously not enough to rely on traditional green plants to absorb excess carbon dioxide. Even if the whole city is planted with green plants, it is impossible to absorb so many greenhouse gases. Hypoxia will become another development problem after the heat island effect.

After entering the middle of the prosperous era, the solution widely adopted by the people's Federation is the carbon self-supporting technology applied in space activities.

That is, carbon dioxide treatment devices are set on specific floors of high-rise buildings to convert carbon dioxide into other carbon containing compounds through multiple and complex chemical processes, so that the air level in the area can reach livable and produce some industrial raw materials.

It is said that with such a half floor space, the annual treatment of carbon dioxide is comparable to that of a whole virgin forest or seaweed in one sea area.

The party searched carefully in the facility and soon found a standby thermonuclear fusion generator that had been shut down.

After entering the wasteland era, the carbon emissions in the territory of the people's Federation of China fell sharply, even to the level before the industrial revolution. Naturally, those carbon traps stopped working, and the thermonuclear fusion reactors that powered them naturally stopped.

Therefore, carbon dioxide trap is one of the few facilities that can be stably recovered to thermonuclear fusion fuel rods after the war.

Lu Yang took his Marines and carefully dismantled the fuel rod containing liquid helium 3.

"Done!"

"How much energy is left?"

“93%”

"Enough for us for a long time!"

Helium III is a stable isotope with a negligible half-life. Although thermonuclear fusion can not start with use like cold fusion, it has the advantage that there is almost no need to worry about "fuel" loss during shutdown.

This is totally unmatched by cold fusion batteries.

Carefully storing the fuel rods in metal cylinders, the Marines who completed the operation took a look at the large and small boxes and storage tanks around them.

"Sir, what about the things here?"

Luyang looked around.

"Just stay here."

"Our allies should be able to use it."

……

At the same time, the pioneer, more than 20 kilometers away, was the office of the logistics section.

Li De, sitting in his office chair, looked at the spreadsheet presented on the flexible screen and his face was full of surprise.

This is the production report of last week.

One of the most striking data is that they recovered 1872 tons of garbage last week, reaching 255% of the expected efficiency!

Those blue coats are not generally ruthless. The average daily recovery has reached an amazing 267.4 tons, and 1.3 tons are collected per capita every day, which is even more amazing than before the war! If these jobs were left to the aborigines, one third of the efficiency would have to laugh.

What they paid extra was just 9360cr.

Li De could hardly believe his eyes. If the report was not handed to him by his secretary, he would even wonder if there was something wrong.

Are they all robots?!

No, it's better than a machine!

Today, a week has passed since the war with the Legion, the pioneer is still filled with a sad atmosphere. Many people indulge in the grief of losing their comrades in arms, with low morale and low work efficiency.

However, these blue coats are different.

They clearly suffered more casualties, but they were still not defeated by difficulties. Instead, they turned their grief and anger into a driving force and lived a positive and optimistic life every day.

What a powerful belief and belief this is!

In short, thanks to the hard work of those blue coats, they almost emptied the whole underground parking lot and two abandoned plants containing cobalt and nickel industrial waste.

From the 1872 tons of garbage, they successfully recovered 941.4 tons of metal and successfully processed it into needed parts.

Even more.

When Li De couldn't help sighing in his heart, Wang Jie, the Secretary standing at his desk, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"By the way, one more thing."

He collected the flat plate in his hand like a scroll and threw it in the drawer. Li De looked up at the Secretary in a good mood and said kindly.

"What's up?"

Wang Jie's expression was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke.

"It's about the demands of front-line Engineers... They asked to increase the attendance allowance from 10Cr per hour to 15Cr per hour."

“……？”

Li De looked confused.

What the hell?

A few months ago, these lazy dogs were still complaining that there was too much money in their pockets to spend. They disliked his stack of waste paper and tricked them out to work.

Why are there too few subsidies now?

Wang Jie's expression was still embarrassed and said quickly.

"Maybe... The settlements of the survivors we met before are too poor, the welfare of the pioneer is too good, and the money in their pockets is really useless. I don't know how to evaluate it, but recently our employees have been a little extravagant in spending money... I think we should limit it a little."

Red faced, Li De knocked on the table with his hand.

"The question is where did they spend their money?! did they wipe their ass? How much can they spend on buying some steamed stuffed buns?!"

Wang Jie: "of course, it's not just steamed stuffed buns, but also dumplings with various fillings, dumplings, soybean milk, fried dough sticks and... Cough. I think we need to upgrade our mobile kitchen. Those blue coats were slightly processed with our raw materials and sold to us, so we made a lot of money from our hands."

Li De: "

Wang Jie swallowed his saliva and continued.

"Besides food, they also sell clothes, scarves and some small items, especially a kind of silk fabric, which is very popular with female passengers. They call it devil silk, which seems to be a specialty in the central region. Surprisingly, this kind of silk thread has very high toughness, almost equal to the fireproof fiber we use on bulletproof clothes... The power of nature, old man Actually, it's amazing. Even I was surprised. Our technicians studied it for a long time and found out its composition, but they still didn't understand its industrial synthesis method. "

Li De pressed his eyebrows.

"Is that all?"

He didn't care about the silk of the devil moth, or what clothes and gadgets the female crew bought.

He just wanted to know how much CR they wasted in the hands of those blue coats.

These bills are not the signature of the restaurant.

But to cash it on the spot!

"Er, there are also some special ingredients, such as black truffle... They are very cheap there. They only sell 1Cr per gram."

Li Demeng raised his head.

"Only 1Cr for 1g?! is there anything else???"

Wang Jie looked at the section chief in surprise and nodded.

"There should be. The mushroom seller sets up a stall in the operation camp around 6 p.m. every night... Section chief?"

Immediately aware of his gaffe, Li De soon recovered. After coughing, he straightened his serious expression and continued.

"I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect that they still know how to enjoy... By the way, has the magnetic confinement plasma NC machining machine been repaired?"

Wang Jie nodded.

"It's repaired. Our warehouse keeper has just delivered it to them. It's estimated that it will be sent to their outpost on the surface in a while."

Thinking of the machine tool, Li De felt a pity.

At that time, the decision was too hasty. Otherwise, the machine tool alone could help them recover 100000 CR.

It shouldn't be free!

But the blue coats did them a big favor. They didn't ask the blue coats to support their war, but they did, and rushed up with guns when the war was most anxious.

To be honest, without them, it's hard to say what the final casualties would be. Maybe they had to drop the second tactical nuclear bomb. Maybe more than three people died that day

Li De thought about it. If he made another decision, maybe he would still choose that.

With a slight sigh, he said.

"Well, just deliver it. We should go in a few days."

It's not a thing to drag on like this.

The longer the delay, the harder the road ahead will be. If they didn't suddenly drop the anchor, they wouldn't have to fight with the Legion.

Wang Jie: "the salary increase..."

Li De said without saying anything: "tell those slackers... I mean those engineers. The salary increase proposal will be put forward at the regular meeting at the end of the month. This is a procedure. In addition, I will think of a way to let the technicians see if they can add a few food processing processes."

Of course, if it succeeds, Li De plans to charge.

What's that word again?

Yes, additional value-added services!

As soon as he heard that the salary increase was moved to the end of the month, Wang Jie immediately understood the meaning of the section chief and couldn't help floating a helpless expression.

"Well, I'll tell them."

Until the end of the month.

The money in those people's pockets has no place to spend again.

Naturally, you won't argue for a raise.

……

The repaired machine tool is still on its way. It's estimated that it will take some time to deliver it by express.

For fear that the players would break it, Chu Guang specially arranged two light trucks to transport it. An empty car with a snow shovel on the bumper drove in front, and the one carrying the machine tool followed.

If you encounter a roadblock or ditch, the former truck will find it in time, and the latter truck can avoid it.

In order to ensure safety, Chu Guang also let the steady old Luca sit in the car with him.

The road condition on the waste soil is really too bad. The section outside the city is a little better. Many roads inside the city can't even walk past four legged animals, let alone wheeled vehicles.

Chu Guang plans to build a road to connect the outpost and the operation camp.

In the future, the players of 404 shelter will repair the road wherever they insert the flag.

What did that say?

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

It is not easy to carry out this project on waste soil, but it is definitely worth it.

While waiting for the machine tool to be delivered, Chu Guang was not idle. Instead, he sat in the residential hall of the shelter, turned on the computer and glanced at the official website forum.

After a whole night's fermentation, the small players who were unable to work on duty finally vented their resentment, the atmosphere of communication in the forum finally returned to normal, and the topic changed from "we rushed a Guang together" to "what has been updated in alpha0.8".

It seemed as if nothing had happened.

Generally speaking, players who have experienced the new version changes online are still very interested in this unique stronghold playing method and regional reputation system.

Especially when they learned that "the regional reputation can be obtained by donating materials" and "the prosperity of the action camp can grow into a survivor stronghold when it reaches 100", they worked harder.

In other MMORPGs, NPC towns are just a bunch of maps that won't move. However, in waste soil ol, the survivors' strongholds are covered by the players themselves, moving bricks and ash, and will grow with the players as they play.

This wave is the perfect combination of RPG and SLG. One game experiences the happiness of two games.

It's blood, okay!

The players are so happy that Chu Guang didn't spend much effort here.

For him, he just compiled several simple formulas based on the report of last month, and asked Xiao Qi to help make a data card similar to the "property panel".

Whether there is an update to alpha version 0.8 or not, he will do the monthly report, but it is now disclosed to players in the form of "progress bar".

As for usefulness.

Mainly to share with players the joy of small saplings growing into towering trees.

After all, just tell the players that due to your efforts, the players are probably confused about how powerful our shelter is now. But if all these efforts are quantified into visible progress bars, who can say that the pattern is useless at all?

You see, boss Xia's weapon store has a brick you contributed. Is it more motivated when you want to move bricks?

No matter how miserable the players who can't be revived because of the bug, the players who are still online and have made an appointment have blown up anyway.

Chu Guang, who was completely relieved, copied several good bad ideas and collected them in his small notebook. Then he stretched and leaned against the computer chair.

"The express delivery will take an hour. What can I do?"

by the way.

Seems to be able to open the blind box again.

Chu Guang's eyes lit up, sat up from the computer chair, stared, opened the manager system and switched to the [manager allowance] sub page.

These days, the game behavior of players is relatively single. They mainly do resource collection tasks at the action camp. The completion of daily tasks is very general. There are a lot of substandard players left every day.

But even so, Chu Guang still saved 33 reward points this week.

Old rules, 3 intermediate blind boxes and 3 primary blind boxes.

But just as Chu Guang was about to open the prize, his heart suddenly moved slightly.

wait.

Since it's all gambling, why not play a big wave and try opening 33 primary blind boxes at a time?

If the reward of intermediate blind box or even advanced blind box is issued from the primary blind box, isn't it blood?

Anyway, it's useless for him to ask for so many dog skin plasters and therapeutic needles.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang no longer hesitated and immediately pressed all the reward points on the account on the leftmost icon.

"System, give me 33 primary blind boxes!"

"Open!"
