Chapter 195

North of Linghu Wetland Park.

An abandoned tire factory located in the ruins.

It used to be the nest of the blood hand clan. With the collapse of the blood hand clan, it was once occupied by cockroaches and mice.

Recently, due to the expansion of the activity area of the residents of refuge 404, this well-structured plant has been reused.

With the efforts of countless new players, all the aliens who built nests here were expelled, and NPC set up guard posts in the surrounding high-rise buildings. Now it has become the northern industrial zone of the outpost base, and all the light and light industries crowded in the south of the sanatorium have been relocated here.

This includes both Coban born No. 81 steel plant.

It also includes goblin technology born by wild road.

Although the generous manager finally agreed to keep his hut on the south side of the outpost under the soft and hard bubble of the mosquito man, the later production activities involving chemicals, inflammables and explosives must be moved from near the resurrection point to here.

Chu Guang didn't target him, but there were too many complaints.

This guy randomly test fired weapons in the forest outside the base, either scared away the fish in the lake or accidentally lit the pine and cypress outside the base. Over the past month or so, someone has found Chu Guang to protest more than once, hoping that he can slightly restrain the behavior of mosquitoes.

Chu Guang believes that the mosquito man didn't mean to do this, but let him continue to toss like this. To tell the truth, Chu Guang himself is a little empty.

There are no such problems on the former site of the tire factory. First of all, it is five kilometers away from the outpost, and it is an abandoned uninhabited urban area in the southeast and northwest.

There are enough alien species to give him to test the power of weapons.

From now on, brother mosquito will no longer have to risk being thrown into the lake by angry fishermen and secretly shoot guns and rockets on the lake!

In a word, under the planning of the wise and powerful manager, the northern industrial zone will take steel and coal as the pillar industries to produce seamless steel pipes, bullets, punch boxes and other manufacturing products of various diameters, and encourage players to give full play to their creativity and create more cheap and useful things on this basis.

There are usually no scavengers near the predator's nest, which is rich in recyclable resources. Even if there is an occasional shortage of inventory, you can hire scavengers to get local materials.

The most important thing is that it is close to the out of town viaduct. As long as the obstacles on the road and the vegetation along the road are cleared and the road surface is slightly repaired, the truck can even drive directly to the factory gate along the auxiliary road under the viaduct!

Whether in terms of transportation or resources, it is much better than the outpost located in the wetland park.

It's the gospel of industrial stream players!

The "truck accessible" plant originally hung with air dried meat of unknown composition has now been transformed into a new site of No. 81 iron and steel plant.

A round hole was cut in the top of the plant, and a chimney made of red brick stood tall and drilled out of the hole.

It's like a torch.

On the ruins of this civilization, a tiny but firm light was lit

……

In the workshop of No. 81 steel plant.

The blast furnace is full of hot molten iron.

The hot neck was covered with sweat. Li Niu untied all the buttons of his coat and fanned his palm to fill his neck with wind.

"Today's fire feels twice as prosperous as yesterday. Is it my illusion?"

If the two foremen wearing VM didn't let him, he even wanted to take off the helmet with wool lining on his head.

Standing next to him was a neighborhood in the same town, Wu Dahe, next door to the old Wu family. Their family is a blacksmith, but they don't have much business in winter and have few opportunities to open.

Before the recruitment, the two sons of the old Wu family came in. Like him, the big one worked as a foreman and also did some chores, while the small one was selected as a stick pricker to operate the stick for hot binding under the guidance of the blue coat. Occasionally, you need to hammer and knock some small pieces, but this is not much.

"The foreman said that a new batch of funds had arrived in the factory. The factory director planned to add boron to the blast furnace and try to make 50B steel... It is said to be used to make gun barrels."

Li Niu looked curious.

"What is boron?"

Wu Dahe took a small stone from his pocket, shook it in front of him and took it back.

"For this small black stone, it is said that only adding a small amount can greatly improve the strength of steel, but the amount must be controlled, not more at all... I don't understand very well. Anyway, the blue coats will deal with such complex things and just do what they say."

Li Niu nodded vaguely and asked again after a while.

"What is 50B steel?"

Wu Dahe shook his head into a rattle and repeated that sentence again.

"I don't know. Just do what they say."

Li Niu was speechless.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he wrote it down as experience.

With boron, steel will be more durable, but only a little, not too much.

But soon there were other puzzles in his heart.

But how much is it?

Also, the steel here is all steel?

Or just a few?

After all, the method of steelmaking in the factory is very strange. Sometimes tungsten, sometimes chromium and nickel, and sometimes silicon. According to different materials, the use of steel is also different. Some are sent to make barrel, some to make gearbox, and others to make bicycle frame.

Blacksmiths in Bette Street don't have so much trouble in making iron. At most, they mix some carbon and forge tools that are as easy to use, strong and durable.

It's said that smart blacksmiths also recycle steel from waste car racks, especially those parked in indoor garages.

The steel made of those materials will be much more durable than ordinary steel.

Li Niu is not a blacksmith. Before he came here, he was just a scavenger living in Beite street. He occasionally went hunting with Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, because he can always find a boar's nest... Although he can't tell why.

As for why I'm here.

Then it's a long story.

A week ago, when the industrial zone of the outpost base was relocated, old Charlie posted a notice on the square asking to recruit 5 ~ 10 strong workers aged 16 ~ 35 to help. He not only managed two meals, but also paid 1 silver dollar a day.

At the street office store on Bette street, one silver coin can be exchanged for one kilogram of green wheat or croissant potato, as well as 50g of salt.

Where do you usually meet this kind of good thing?

On such a cold day, there was nothing to do. Hearing that he could save some food for his family, Li Niu signed up without saying a word.

As for whether to give chips or silver coins, few people care recently.

The caravan of Boulder City hasn't been here since winter. For the survivors here, money is what they can exchange for food and use.

The relocation of the plant is not very laborious. It only needs to transport some large and small things out of the forest with a trailer, load a truck at the north gate of the park, and then follow the truck to the waste tire factory in the north, and unload the things under the command of the foreman.

The abandoned tire factory used to be the stronghold of the bloody hand clan. Many residents of Bette street were afraid to get close to it, but Li Niu was not afraid.

The blood hand clan has been destroyed, and the roof of the workshop is waving the flag of shelter 404.

He often follows Yu Hu to the outpost. He knows that those blue coats are good people.

The fact is that the relocation lasted three days. Not only did they have meat at once, but they also had enough to eat.

If the work is not finished, Li Niu even wants to stay here all the time.

At that time, the foreman of the steel plant came out and threw an olive branch at them.

No. 81 iron and steel plant plans to recruit a group of contract workers, with a monthly salary of 60 silver coins. They eat and live in the plant. There are four days off every month. You can decide which day to rest. If you do a good job, you can get a commission.

In addition to age, there are only two requirements for recruitment, one is great strength, the other is literacy... More literacy is a priority.

According to the foreman, the factory will set up night school literacy classes to organize workers to learn writing, arithmetic and drawing. However, because they have to sign a contract, they must at least write their own name before they can sign up, and no one is allowed to write on their behalf.

It was the first time in Li Niu's life that he realized how great it was to have a culture.

He had attended old Charlie's night school literacy class before. Although he had not been there several times, he had written his name for a while.

Those whose names have three characters have suffered a little. They can only write two, or they can write a last name after holding it for a long time.

Finally, a total of 15 people were left. The foreman gave them safety helmets and warm fur clothes, arranged collective dormitories for them, and told them that from now on, they are the workers of No. 81 iron and steel plant.

As long as you work hard, you can settle down with your family in the future.

Li Niu didn't think so far. His current life is enough to burst his happiness.

Wearing fur clothes issued by the factory, he even felt a little hot standing in the factory. Every time he changed shifts, he would go out and blow a cold wind.

This kind of wonderful life is something he dared not think of before!

Looking at the molten iron in the blast furnace, Li Niu couldn't help feeling in his heart.

***

The ventilation time is over.

As the molten iron in the blast furnace reaches the expected temperature

Under the instruction of the foreman, Li Niu and another worker worked together to manipulate the rocker of the control pole to move the suspended blast furnace to the mold for pouring to form a rod-shaped billet.

The motor starts.

The roller under the billet starts to work,

Under the transportation of a row of rollers, the rod-shaped billet is sent to the punch and drilled by the special high-temperature resistant drill bit.

"The billet temperature drops too fast."

"Indeed... We have to find a way to integrate the hot stamping technology, punch directly in the die and keep the quenching state."

"Can the gun barrel be thinner? Otherwise, the gun barrel is too heavy, has no mobility and consumes materials."

"Try your best. With such a large caliber, I'm afraid it's too thin. I'll blow it up at that time."

Brother xisuo and brother Levin, standing in front of the production equipment, pointed at the equipment at work and whispered in their mouths.

As for why they are so motivated?

Because just this morning, they just went online and suddenly received a sum of 5500 silver coins for R & D!

Perhaps it is because the managers are moved by their diligence. From now on, for the R & D of new equipment, as long as they declare drawings and budgets according to the process, they can get the support of special funds. They no longer need to pay for love power generation and do R & D by themselves!

In addition to solving their urgent needs, the respected manager also deployed two dormant compartments for them, saying that they were rewarded for their hard work.

This hibernation pod is a good thing!

In the future, they don't have to avoid the difficulties. They can go online and offline directly in the factory.

If you let other players know, you will be jealous and crazy!

Happiness comes too suddenly.

However, brother toilet rope and brother Levin were not stunned by this sudden happiness.

They know too much about the lemonade on the forum. If they know that they have gained so many benefits, they will yell and cut again.

Therefore, they made a lot of money quietly without saying anything. They paid scavengers to recycle good steel and materials from the waste soil, rented machine tools in the shelter to cut needed parts, made great efforts to improve the production capacity of the steel plant and secretly expand and strengthen the steel industry.

They decided to show some real skills to these cloud players who only know lemon and shout "I can go, I can do it".

What is a real war machine!

What? I'm not sure I can!

……

】

On the fourth day of the launch of the new version, the production in the northern industrial zone of the outpost base was in full swing.

At this moment, the B3 floor of the shelter below the base is also bustling.

The helmet was finally activated, and 300 players entered the game at the same time. Under the guidance of the radio, they successively came to the square in the middle of the floor and blocked the hall in front of the B3 elevator tower.

"There are a lot of new people this time!"

"And the quality looks good. There are a little fewer strange species than last time!"

"Very good. It seems that the threshold for making an appointment to answer questions has been upgraded again."

"Did you see the European emperor who drew heterogeneous units?"

"Not yet. The managers haven't started talking. 80% of the people haven't arrived yet. They should still linger in the room. Wait and see!"

The spring commander standing at the corner of the square looks for potential stocks among the new people and is ready to "spread the fire" immediately after the manager finishes his speech.

Although he doesn't want to start training from new people, he can't help it. His two teammates are really stupid!

One [I'm the darkest] and the other [battlefield atmosphere group] blame Bengou's group, which always makes him an intellectual department, and he always thinks about his equipment.

In order to promote himself to t0 echelon, spring commander decided to cultivate several obedient and easy-to-use Mengxin platoons.

It's best to have a relatively rigid strength system, or a physical system that can carry it is also good.

It would be better if it were a heterogeneous player like roushan Da Mo Mo!

After all, only when someone wears "pseudo power armor" in front of him can he have an output environment.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw a small player who had just entered the hall, groping with his hands on his head.

Her nickname is Ao Ao sesame paste.

Somehow, her game characters are a little different from others.

A pair of furry animal ears came out of the hair and replaced human ears. They looked like some kind of headdress.

"Eh? Why do my ears grow on my head?"

"Didn't you find it when you were in the room?"

"I don't know. There's no mirror in the room. I thought my hair was curling up." I couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise.

Is this an SSSR?

But there seems to be no attribute bonus

The players around looked excited.

Is this testing krypton skin?

sure.

It seems that there is hope for the public beta!!

The tail's eyes glittered: "cat's ears! Damn, there are more and more European emperors!"

Si Si: "Oh, the number of alien friends has increased again."

Tail: "Si! Spread the fire!"

Si Si: "Oh, rush!"

One wave did not level, another wave rose, and soon there was another commotion in the crowd.

But this time it was not a surprise, but a shock.

"Ah ah! Alien!"

"Gan! Why are there mice here!"

"Call the guard!"

"Get my spear!"

The players at the edge of the square were the first to be startled, and then the commotion spread among the crowd.

"I'm not a mouse... Gan! I'm a player, okay?"

Looking at the people who escaped from their side, the small player in the middle of the crowd - or mouse man, couldn't cry or laugh.

Is this an SSSR?

Should it be?

But the price is a little worse. I lost my right to choose a mate in situ.

Although he is quite satisfied with his shape, other players, especially female players, don't seem to think so.

After waiting for a long time, none of them came up Rua.

Gan!

These beautiful dogs!

So real?

Chu Guang, standing in front of the elevator tower, also looked puzzled.

Cat ears

It is probably the evil taste of the early managers.

What the hell is this mouse about one meter tall?

Before opening the tank, he could not see the specific data of clones in the culture chamber, so this "calling accident" also occurred from time to time.

【

ID: force others

Gene sequence: xenogeneic mouse human

Grade: lv.0

——Basic properties——

Strength: 3

Agility: 3

Constitution: 3

Perception: 5

Intelligence: 3

】

【

Talent:

Rapid synthesis: the active material consumption of the synthetic clone is reduced to 50% of the standard value, and the synthesis time is shortened to 24 hours.

Iron stomach: strong digestive system, able to adapt to rotten food.

】

Open the system and enter the player list.

Looking at the latest scanning data of the player's training module, Chu Guang's face showed an expression of interest.

"There are no callous hands and feet, and it is difficult to improve the sequence level of debuff."

However, the panel data of mice and humans are relatively weak. Except that perception is 5, other attributes are only 3, which is equivalent to 60% of normal adult men.

"The primary attribute should be perception."

Chu Guang originally thought that at least his agility attribute would be higher, but he didn't expect it to be so.

The only advantage of this gene sequence is probably the buff provided by [rapid synthesis] and [iron stomach].

"The resurrection cost of 0.5 unit active substance and the synthesis time of 24 hours... This is a bit of a cow."

"And the talent of iron stomach... If you can overcome psychological obstacles, you should save food very much."

In addition, another advantage is that it is small and can shuttle freely through the ruins.

As for the lack of panel properties... If the first awakening can't fill this hole, I'm afraid we can only rely on mechanical transformation.

Or take the route of biological and drug enhancement?

Somehow, Chu Guang thought of the scarven mouse man in the Warhammer.

The plague army all over the mountains is a nightmare of the human empire.

Unfortunately.

The rat man here is an orphan

Chu Guang thought in his heart, why not give this guy a "hidden professional task", upgrade to level 3, send him a training cabin, and let him go out to fight wild.

As for the little player with cat ears, to Chu Guang's surprise, her gene sequence has no alien prefix. She is an ordinary agile player.

The only difference is the talent column——

[animal ear: I originally intended to create a leopard man, but only the explicit expression of the ear was an accident. But except that it may be inconvenient to make a phone call, it doesn't seem to do any harm. It's up to you - the first generation manager.]

Chu Guang:

This line of instructions is not suitable to appear in the player's attribute bar. I'd better change it later.

Standing next to Chu Guang, Yan Fang stared at the human speaking mouse for a long time, and finally couldn't help saying.

"Before the war... Whether animal DNA fragments were implanted into human embryos or human DNA fragments were transplanted into animals, they were taboos among taboos. How did the people who invented this technology develop these things without being discovered by anyone and without the support of any external funds?"

Yeah.

How did he do it?

Chu Guang is also curious about this problem.

Including the morphogenetic field that even the "former college D-class prospector" has never heard of.

"Maybe it was made in the shelter."

Yan Fang looked at Chu Guang strangely.

"Are you kidding? In the shelter? By that half hanging medical laboratory?"

Chu Guang's eyes lit up and touched his chin thoughtfully.

"This is an interesting idea. Maybe it's really possible."

To be honest, he doesn't find it strange to create species.

Isn't mutants an example?

To borrow the words of an enterprise employee with extremely poor drinking capacity, runaway technology is flooding this land. It's not surprising that anything strange happens.

Yin Fang: "

Different from Yin Fang's surprise at the research and development background of the technology, Heya, who stood on the other side of Chu Guang, was shocked at the fact that "mice can speak".

Although it's a language she doesn't understand at all, she can be sure it's talking!

This is incredible!

"Bears, lizards and mice with human minds... How did they do it?"

Suddenly, Heya looked eagerly at Chu Guang, folded her hands, prayed and said.

"Can you give me some samples? No tissue sections, a little blood is enough!"

"I have authorized you to the DNA data of the residents of the shelter. You can view it on the terminal of the infirmary."

Although Chu Guang doesn't expect her to crack the secrets hidden in the gene sequence, it's also good as a project synchronized with xenogeneic research.

After all, there are so many different species active in the northern suburbs, and his players can't always get new samples.

Heya said excitedly.

"Have you finished collecting? Great!"

If the crowd hadn't blocked the road, she could hardly have rushed into the laboratory now.

Yan Fang stood aside and pinched his eyebrows.

Is it an illusion?

He always felt that no one in the whole shelter was normal except himself
