Chapter 241

[new expansion: "forge a sword into a plow"]

[introduction: the winter is coming to an end, and the time for all things to recover is coming. Now is the key period for spring farming production and preparation. Only by ensuring the food supply in the coming year, can we wake up more compatriots to go to the surface and carry out the next stage of work.]

[content: from now on, "waste land ol" will open a series of tasks including farming, management and other related elements. Players can get them through VM or find NPC such as Luca, Guo Niu and Guo ma. After completing the task with expansion label, you can get activity points.

After the expansion, the points can be used for lucky draw, exchange for limited titles, special awards and agricultural land!]

Happiness comes too suddenly.

There was no sign, not even publicity PV. Alpha1.0 and the new expansion suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the official website of waste soil ol.

Almost at the same time when the announcement was released, the small players squatting on the official website to share today's game process, as well as the daily sand carving netizens were boiling in an instant!

In less than a minute, the comments below the announcement came out hundreds of floors.

Tail: "!"

Quit smoking: "new expansion?! awesome!"

Makabazi: "make a sword into a plow?! activity points can be exchanged for land?! lying in the groove, my DNA moved!!"

Leave people under the knife: "life professional players are ecstatic!"

Rattan: "woo woo, I've finally waited for the expansion of life professional players. I can't help with fighting. QAQ"

Crow: "it doesn't matter! It's up to crow to fight. Rattan is responsible for making beautiful clothes! @ ≥ ≤@)"

Night ten: "ask if you don't understand. Has boss crow ever been to the front? (funny)"

Crow: "are you polite?"

Debt big eye: "wait a minute, the first two expansion films' winter is coming 'and' land boating ', which expansion film's version answer is not a life professional player!"

My darkest: "yes! Don't try to tamper with your memory! Professional combat players also need expansion! (crazy)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "please plan and brush another wave of predators! I just saved money to buy an exoskeleton and spent money to make a bulletproof, but I told me that the predators ran away! T.T"

Spring Commander: "I knew I would have taken the money to buy a tractor, didn't I? Fortunately, I saved money. (squint smile)"

Night 10: "it is suggested that the next expansion film launch a burning expedition. I think we can beat down Xizhou city and help little sister Teng open the market in the north. (funny)"

Irene: open the door, free trade? But I don't think the predators there can afford clothes. (funny)

Professor Yang, king of thunder and lightning Law: "Gee, you are still too young. Are you poor and have no surplus value? Can't you afford it? It's easy to say that in the past, you built several plantations and sent them to grow cotton. If there are classes, you should be able to afford it? (show your teeth)"

Night 10: "lying slot, my understanding of the version is not as good as cloud players?!"

Lao Bai: "come to work in our brick factory. We'll hire you as the factory director. (squint smile)"

Professor Yang, king of thunder and lightning Law: "Hey, it's tears when you talk too much. T.T."

Chu Guang simply glanced at the comment area below the announcement and found that the players' enthusiasm for the discussion of the new version and expansion was higher than the sky.

Many players have begun to share their experience in growing vegetables on the forum, and hard core players have posted the design drawings of agricultural machinery on the forum.

Although most of these posts ended up askew and turned into Versailles with many acres of land in their home, there are still a lot of experience worth learning from.

I believe it should come in handy in the upcoming spring ploughing.

If the characters in the game don't have to sleep, they have to work in reality. Many players have put on helmets and worked on the running line.

And those Xiaomeng newcomers who got the qualification for the closed test, in addition to being ecstatic, have issued award-winning speeches.

As for the cloud players who did not get the qualification of closed beta

Although Chu Guang was worried about them, he couldn't help it.

He is true.

However, the game is not a real game. Even a wishing machine such as "black box" needs to consume electricity and materials to produce a dormant module, and the maximum output per day is 24.

Nothing can be changed out of thin air.

At present, there are nearly 100000 reserved players, but there are only 300 training modules left. Even if Chu Guang opens all these cans, the probability of players winning the prize is only 0.3%

It's impossible to get everyone into the game.

Moreover, when the number of immigrants exceeds the limit of social affordability, it may not be a good thing.

Like the refugees on the waste soil, if they can't digest them in a short time, they will become destroyers of the existing rules and obstacles to development.

This is one of the reasons why most online games on steam can't be played in the discount season and free week.

After reading the hot posts on the forum, Chu Guang thought a little and updated the developer log as usual.

Although the players are very diligent, in order to make the players better enjoy the fun of the game and appease the combat professional players who feel abandoned by the version, Chu Guang feels it is still necessary to talk to the players about this new version as a planner.

Guang: "Hello, everyone, I'm your dearest planning a Guang. The planning department last month was quite peaceful. No one was sacrificed this time, but it doesn't matter. What's important is that after adding a whole winter class, we finally got alpha1.0 version!"

"Thank you for your continuous efforts and support, as well as the program apes who worked overtime to bald, and the NPCs who risked their lives to screw on the assembly line. Without your painstaking efforts, we could not have achieved what we have achieved."

"It's not easy to develop games, especially such an epoch-making game. We are now and will be in the primary stage of game development for a long time."

"It's not easy to build a utopian virtual community, which requires our joint efforts. This time may be a long time, maybe three years, maybe five years, but we promise that we won't be better than the painted cake citizen next door, old roll 6 and heaven's give him love 6 For a longer time, and I promise I will never put semi-finished products on the shelf, cut a wave of leeks and run away. "

"I believe many players should have found that the content of the new expansion basically focuses on the word 'operation'."

"We hope to establish a near real economic system in this way, so that every player and NPC can play different roles in this simulated reality system, undertake different social division of labor, and become the builder of this virtual community."

"It may sound idealistic, but we think it's worth trying."

……

The next day.

Before dawn, a large number of players rushed to Changjiu farm and surrounded the door of the warehouse in a dark circle.

Looking at the residents of the shelter in front of the warehouse, Luca, who just woke up, thought something had happened and looked silly.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Bright people don't talk in secret. I'm here to do the task!"

"Tian! Where is Tian?"

"My hoe is thirsty!"

Although he couldn't understand what the players were saying, Luca soon realized that this might be the arrangement of the manager.

So he immediately opened the VM and looked at it.

Sure enough, really!

The residents of these shelters are here to help!

After reading the instructions of the manager, old Luca was moved and couldn't help looking at the players around the door of the warehouse.

This dedication and hard-working spirit is hard not to be admired.

In a solemn and serious tone, old Luca said.

"We need to plant the seeds in the spring, and before we plant the seeds, we need to remove the weeds in the ground, level the land, expel the alien species active in this area, and destroy their nests."

"Thank you. We are short of manpower now. It's time for you to come!"

"Please take your tools and follow me!"

After that, old Luca walked in front and took the players to the open space on the west side of Changjiu farm.

The terrain here is relatively flat and close to the warehouse, which is also a relatively easy area for reclamation.

In the Master Manager's plan, this land belongs to the collective ownership of the shelter, and then will be cultivated by hired farmers. The harvested grain will enter the granary as a strategic reserve to balance the grain price in the market.

Further west is the land planned to be contracted to private people, and further away is the area that prisoners of war are responsible for reclamation.

After arriving at the destination, the player's VM quickly refreshed the specific land reclamation task, and the map also marked the area in charge of each player or team.

For each mu of arable land, you can get 100 activity reward points.

After the expansion, you can exchange one mu of your own land for at least 300 activity points. You can plant anything you want on it, as long as you don't change the land use.

If you spend more points, you can also buy fertile land near Linghu lake.

Under the temptation of the land, the players' enthusiasm for opening up wasteland can be said to be unprecedented.

In particular, seeing the rise of farming skills, many people worked harder.

Plough with the awakened.

Such a luxury is the only thing in Qingquan city.

But even so, it is still not easy to open up wasteland

The first is to clean up weeds.

It's OK to talk about ordinary grass, but if you encounter the roots of shrubs and old trees, you have to saw and smash them, and you have to dig out the roots.

Weeding alone is not enough, but also leveling the land.

Including digging out the high-altitude soil, carrying it to the low-lying place with a burden, and then piling it out of the ridge, getting fertilizer or manure and piling it in the field.

When spring is really coming, we have to plough the land again, break up large pieces of soil, pick up the concrete slag and non degradable garbage buried in the soil, and then insert a fence around to prevent some small animals from running in and giving the seeds in the wheat field.

This area of Qingquan city is fortunately a plain. It is good for ordinary survivors to go together with a family. It can dig out two or three mu of land in an autumn.

But it's autumn.

If it happens to catch up with the cold winter and snow falls just after collecting the food in the field, it will be torture.

Not to mention that the snow has not melted, the snow has melted and the soil in the field is frozen hard.

There was only a white mark on his head, like knocking on the wall. He didn't respond at all except for the pain of shaking his hand.

Therefore, if we want to open up wasteland in winter, it is not enough to use a hoe alone. We have to replace the pickaxe used to knock stones with a hard chisel.

It can be said that it is quite true.

……

In the evening.

Sitting next to the ridge, Yeshi, carrying an iron pick and hoe, panted.

"Mom, I have to bother my roommate with food, take out the garbage and catch the way. I've done farm work all day!"

The initial strength of the perception system is usually 5, and can reach 7 after awakening, which is equivalent to 140% of the average value of normal adult men, which is slightly stronger than that of the intelligence system.

However, he was still very tired.

Fatigue debuff has appeared on VM, and both hands and legs are filled with lead.

If it's in reality, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being tired. 80% of the muscles have begun to hurt!

But on the contrary, this day was not without harvest.

He has worked on one mu of land alone, and his proficiency in farming skills has directly increased to two levels. He is still one level away from unlocking the first achievement under farming skills.

Carrying the hoe on his shoulder, Lao Bai, who was also very tired, took a break and said.

"I've done it before, but I haven't used such primitive tools."

He is probably the most capable in the cattle and horse team. He worked three acres of land alone.

This is basically equivalent to five times the work efficiency of the refugees!

Night ten looked at him curiously and asked.

"Lao Bai, what exactly do you do in reality? How can you burn bricks, charcoal and farm work?"

Lao Bai smiled and said.

"Don't I tell you? My hometown is in the countryside. When I was a child, I occasionally helped my family do a job. It doesn't matter now. There are few ethnic groups in my hometown. I almost forget it, but I miss it occasionally."

Night ten Oh, oh twice, nodded vaguely.

He grew up in the city, but he didn't know much about it.

When he came to sit down next to him, the strong wind wiped his sweat, looked at the fruits of labor in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said.

"We can't go on like this. We can't finish it until we have a long life... We must improve our tools."

The square Commander agreed and nodded.

"Indeed, sharpening the knife does not mistake the firewood cutter. If you chew it so hard, you may not be able to get 10 mu by the end of the month."

Night ten looked at them and asked.

"Do you two have any good ideas?"

Fangchang and Fengfeng looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said.

"Wait another three days. A friend of mine has just got the qualification for the closed test. He should be able to help at that time."

Night ten asked curiously.

"Who? Men and women? What kind of friends?"

The wind doesn't care about this guy.

After a pause, he continued.

"Professor Wang from the Engineering Institute next door is in the direction of mechanical engineering and automation."

"He knows more about application than I do."

……

Two days have passed since the launch of the new expansion.

At present, there are 800 players in the whole service, and at least two-thirds of them have participated in the work of land reclamation.

The remaining one-third of the players, even if they are not interested in "100% real farming", do not want to brush the skill proficiency of farming, but still indirectly support the land reclamation work in other forms.

For example, 81 steel plant.

In just two days, 500 sets of steel structural parts of agricultural appliances were produced by mold pouring.

After small workshops in the industrial zone, wooden handles were installed on hoes, pickaxes and other tools. The first batch of tools were quickly sent to the front line to replace those inefficient and poor quality wooden and stone tools.

Another example is that there are mosquitoes in WC.

Mosquito man, I've done meritorious service again this time.

He changed the hell breath slightly, increased the output power of the pot camel machine, and got a simple tractor out.

Not only can he transport goods, he also installed a rake for farming in the back of the tractor.

This is a big help.

But the mosquito was not very kind. Seeing that no one bought it at the price of 2000 silver dollars, he immediately started the leasing business.

Rent 10 silver coins an hour and pack 50 silver coins a day.

Players shouted at Keng dad, but in order to improve efficiency, they still stubbornly took out the money.

No. 81 iron and steel plant nearby saw that the money was too easy to earn. It immediately started imitation and got a prototype out, and said that it would only cost 40 silver coins a day.

Chu Guang ordered 10 sets from the two units, each at 2000 silver dollars, and asked to deliver them before the end of the month.

After completing the order, you can also obtain 5000 long-term farm regional reputation and 500 contribution points.

Facing the order worth 20000 silver coins, the two directors of mosquito and plant 81 immediately said to Chu Guang that they would work overtime to produce and deliver the equipment in the order as soon as possible.

In addition to the tasks for life professional players, there are also some tasks for combat professional players.

Such as killing mutant wild boars, destroying hyenas' nests, building fences and so on.

The evening of the second day after the expansion went online.

At the gate of Changchang farm warehouse.

Faced with Chu Guang who came to inspect the work, Luca excitedly reported to him the progress of land reclamation.

"Sir, your residents have reclaimed 1000 mu of wasteland in the past 48 hours!"

"At this rate, it won't even take until the end of the month. We can complete the target of 10000 mu of wasteland in 15 days at most!"

As he said this, Luca's face was filled with incredible joy.

Originally, he thought that the residents of the shelter could not adapt to such high-intensity labor. As a result, he did not expect that they were much more capable than he thought, and completed one tenth of the expected goal in just two days.

According to the plan of the manager, the first batch of cultivated land in the plan is 30000 mu.

Among them, 10000 mu is completed by the residents of the shelter, and half of the remaining 20000 mu is responsible by the prisoners of war and half by the refugees.

If we fail to do a good job in this year's land reclamation, we can even overfulfil it!

Although the seeds haven't been planted yet, he seems to have seen the ten thousand mu of golden and stacked granaries!

Chu Guang didn't feel any surprise about Luca's report.

The main reason is that he hasn't worked on the ground and doesn't know whether it's difficult to open up wasteland.

"1000 mu... According to 600 people, that is, 0.8 mu per person per day?"

Touched his chin, Chu Guang thought for a moment.

"Is this fast or slow?"

"My Lord, this speed is very fast!"

Listening to the speech of the manager Versailles, old Luca couldn't help sweating and explained.

"Reclaiming wasteland is different from farming. The workload is very heavy. Especially now the snow has not completely melted, we have to turn the snow out of the ground first."

"Wait until the middle or even the end of the month, our progress will be faster!"

Chu Guang nodded and said happily.

"It's hard for you!"

Hearing the manager's praise, old Luca said respectfully with a proud red light on his face.

"I don't have any hard work. It's your residents who are really capable."

"By the way, now that the Blizzard has stopped, the refugees settled in abandoned department stores can also gradually move back to the farm. We can't keep them for nothing."

Chu Guang nodded and said.

"Well, after finishing all winter, it's time to find something for them."

After inspecting the work of spring ploughing, Chu Guang walked around the warehouse and was preparing to go to the guard to see the training of the recruits.

Just then, however, he suddenly received a communication request from the outpost.

Communication is on.

Before Chu Guang asked what it was, Liu Ding's voice immediately came from the other end of the headset.

"My Lord, there is a caravan in the south of the wetland park. They are stopping at the South Gate of the wetland park now!"

"The caravan from the south?" Chu Guang's face was surprised and immediately continued to ask, "are they from Boulder City?"

"Yes..." Liu Ding said cautiously, "the owner of this caravan is Liszt. He claims to have met you and wants to meet you."

Liszt?

Hearing the familiar name, Chu Guang was stunned, and then his face showed an expression of interest.

good heavens.

It's waiting for you!

Chu Guang still hasn't forgotten the oath he made at the beginning.

Wait for this guy to come here next time.

You must kill him hard!

A happy smile appeared on his face, and Chu Guang continued happily.

"Liszt, that's my old friend."

"Please invite him to the reception room and prepare the tea or something."

"Tell him I'll be there in a minute!"
