Chapter 1002: Stormy and Precarious, the Year Begins and Ends!
A bold idea that is planned ahead of time and well-reasoned is often the beginning of a great cause.
Before entering the future ruins, Su Mo had always guessed that the purpose of the game was to gather various powers.
But since he met the will of the world, ‘Adam’, in the ruins, and went to the outer world to see the world of gods.
All previous guesses were overturned.
What is the purpose of the game?
Since returning from the ruins, Su Mo has been thinking about this question.
Speaking of raising Gu, what flowers can these ordinary humans and aliens bloom, and how big a splash can they make?
Under frequent natural disasters, they even have difficulty protecting themselves.
Even the natives of Blue Star with post-war technology can only be beaten helplessly in the face of the returning disaster.
Even before the humans on Earth, the players who participated in the game had failed more than 30 waves.
This kind of record, if you say it is raising Gu, it is really unbelievable.
But speaking of playing, according to Adam’s description, the main body of the game seems to have some clear purposes.
It came from other universes and reached an agreement under the will of this universe to conduct this survival game test.
Is this method its bad taste?
The possibility is far less than one in a billion, and Su Mo completely denied it.
He didn't know what the game wanted to achieve, but one thing was certain.
After repeated natural disasters and in the harsh wasteland environment.
The players who could still survive in this wasteland did become stronger, and they became stronger in all aspects.
The middle-aged people who were worn down by the same life day after day stood up again in this strange world.
The promising women who hated returning to their families and wanted to see a wider world found a new goal.
The elderly were no longer a burden, and their rich experience kept most of them in the middle of the second echelon.
Even children, whose minds were trapped by heavy schoolwork, found new expansion in this vast world.
Unable to find the real purpose of the game, Su Mo could only try to follow its ideas as much as possible.
Continue to become stronger and continue to improve the average quality of players.
And the most critical point in this process is to reduce the cost of mistakes in the process.
"Okay, if you can really solve the energy transmission loss over ultra-long distances and do a good job of low-latency information transmission and reception"
"Then this matter is really not too difficult."
Spitting out the three words "not too difficult" with a wry smile, Lu Kuan was speechless for a moment.
He had never seen such a confident scientific researcher, and those technologies that could reach the sky in one step did not seem to be difficult for him.
It was still the example of building a rocket.
Now even the parts cannot be manufactured, and the shape and specifications of the parts are not even known at all.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of means this man in front of him would have to build a rocket straight away.
"Leave the technology to me, you are responsible for interface adaptation and debugging the corresponding information flow compression transmission."
"I need to simplify the information flow length of an action instruction as much as possible, at least to one-tenth of the current level."
"In addition, the building will be opened in two months, and then we will be able to obtain the production line for manufacturing computing chips!"
"As soon as possible, raise the limit of this matter to the highest level, I need to see the first generation of finished products running as soon as possible. Don't worry about those possible problems, it's not important!"
Regarding more detailed requirements, Su Mo has written it clearly in the information.
Unlike other developers, those technologies that seem as difficult as ascending to heaven are not difficult for him.
With the existence of the system, if you put all your energy and points into a research, you can actually see gratifying results soon.
And the finished product is even more important.
If you want to continuously upgrade something, it is definitely not enough to rely on imagination.
But if the research institute of the territory can really provide a complete set of solutions, even if it can only run for a few seconds.
According to the consistent strength of system upgrades, only a few survival points are needed to optimize it to the point where it can be used.
As for the future, it will be even simpler.
Accumulate survival points step by step, and upgrade the mother machine step by step.
It may still take a few years, but at least there is a root technology that can continue to evolve.
"How long do we have?"
Picking up the information on the table, Lu Kuan turned back and asked worriedly before leaving.
"Three months? I will let Chen Shen give you the greatest support and unlimited resource access."
"Enough."
Lu Kuan nodded silently and turned to leave, his steps were a little scattered.
If it only takes two months, Su Mo can break through the two root problems of loss and signal.
Then if they can't even do some basic work well, it would be a failure.
However
"Is three months really enough?"
Turning his head to look at the Tianyuan underground city where only the outline of the gate was left, Lu Kuan could only shake his head gently.
For an old antique who has been frozen for decades, the concept of time is actually very weak.
But recently, frequent natural disasters and drastic changes in the people around him have suddenly made him feel anxious and helpless.
Three months, ninety days.
In large-scale technology research and development, it may not even be possible to build the most basic test and development environment.
But for the Tianyuan territory, this is already the time that can be squeezed out as much as possible.
At the end of the calendar year in the wasteland, it is September 30th.
Qinggang Shelter, the largest force in Qinggang City, officially announced the release of the "Lightning Wall" and will accept all homeless people.
No physical examination is required, and no identification of the original address is required.
In the dilapidated industrial ruins outside, you only need to register your identity to get a piece of land close to 50 square meters.
Although they still cannot enter underground life with the same status as residents, for wanderers who crawl around in danger
The towering lightning wall is like a moat, isolating all threats posed by the radiation beasts outside the wall.
There are only salty meals to satisfy hunger every day. In the past, one meal once in a while was considered a rich meal, but now they can actually provide two meals a day.
Such a beautiful life that resembles entering "paradise" simply increases the happiness index by a hundred times.
Even if the ruins are still dilapidated, it cannot stop the wanderers from rebuilding.
They began to spontaneously clear out the ruins manually and transported the residue to recycling centers for processing into new building materials.
This move naturally made homeless people in every corner of the city jealous and came from all directions to join in.
At the end of the calendar year in the wasteland, it is October 26th.
Boom.
Raindrops all over the sky began to fall from the sky, gradually forming a rain curtain.
Most of the underground pipes collapsed and the repairs have not yet been completed. Water accumulation appeared in Qinggang City. It gradually grew from small to large, and gathered in the corner like a small pond.
In the shadows, countless large radiation beasts hid under the building anxiously, suppressing the waves of hunger in their stomachs.
Before I knew it, more than a month had passed since I became stronger.
The increase in size and desire to attack makes each radiation beast have several times more lethality than before.
They are no longer as afraid of human short crossbows, guns, and exoskeleton armor as before.
Nor will I live in a dark sewer, looking for meager food in invisible corners.
At some point, they almost think they are going to become the masters of the city!
But the fact is.
When they first became stronger, they could still occasionally eat a full meal.
But when a certain ordinary time point arrived without any warning, they never had enough to eat again.
The reason is not only the terrifying increase in food intake caused by the proportional enlargement of the body size, but also the fact that humans in this city no longer appear as frequently as before.
Many shelter doors in the southern suburbs have been covered in dust for most of the month, with thick dust gathering on them.
The impact of the undead attack was far greater than imagined.
The parts where they blow up are very particular.
For a shelter with strong industrial strength, blow up all your industrial machine tools.
As a refuge for the export of production materials, take away all the equipment you use for production.
Almost every shelter has lost its original advantages and returned to the same starting point.
And under such circumstances, if you wander around again, you are seeking death.
However, this is not the most uncomfortable thing for the radiation beast.
What they simply cannot accept are the wanderers and plunderers who often appear and walk in the city.
In the past two weeks, it has almost become "extinct"!
Don't they need to find food?
The radiation beast's simple mind couldn't figure out this problem, and it didn't know where the wanderers had gone.
Looking at the growing water outside, they understand only one thing.
Before the water recedes completely, even ordinary food will be difficult to find.
If you want to eat enough, the most basic nature of animals has already provided the answer.
Either choose to fight with the radiation beasts in the surrounding areas, or you can only migrate away from here to a more "fertile" place.
At the end of the wasteland, it is October 29th of the calendar year.
The return disaster, which lasted for a month, was officially declared over at zero o'clock.
The powerful undead may have achieved their destruction goal in Qinggang City and did not continue to appear.
But on the World Channel, until the last moment, many places were still under attack.
They successfully blocked waves of attacks and emerged victorious from this disaster.
Although it is hard to imagine that the superpowers of Blue Star can really stop this fearless undead for a whole month.
But based on the brief description of the battlefield, the humans on the World Channel couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Unlike the former Su Shen, who had single-handedly reversed the situation was so mythical.
Ordinary human forces are actually capable of surviving disasters.
Even though the Blue Star humans are not from the same origin as Earth humans, the same appearance naturally brings a sense of belonging and goodwill.
Involuntarily, more and more wandering human players from Earth began to join the local forces of Blue Star.
Under the restrictions of the game, although there is a lot of information that cannot be disclosed, including information related to the route, it will be blocked into a disorderly stream, and it is difficult for the two parties to communicate directly without the help of the game.
But precisely because of this, the bonuses brought by these routes and information advantages have made humans on earth more popular.
There are no detailed statistics on how many people have given up on territory mode and shelter mode and become pure players just to survive and improve their route level.
Based on the intensive speeches on the World Channel, Tianyuan Territory calculated a rough number.
92%.
More than 90% of ordinary players no longer choose to fight alone and live in the dangerous wilderness.
In their hearts, the cities of the indigenous people are obviously more attractive.
November 7, the last year of the Wasteland Calendar.
The twelfth disaster under version 0 was not late and was added to the game trailer very punctually.
This time, it is no longer a disaster only for the indigenous people, nor a disaster for the players.
‘Mist Poison’
This is a special test for all creatures living in the wasteland.
During the disaster, the humidity in the fog will continue to remain at 100% until the disaster ends.
It doesn’t sound very scary, and it can even be regarded as ecstasy for creatures like fishmen!
But for humans and some humanoid aliens, it is completely worthy of the word "poison".
The terrible humidity will drill into the pores of humans and settle down like invisible insects.
Because high humidity hinders the cooling mechanism of the body, it will greatly affect the evaporation and heat dissipation of the body, resulting in increased body temperature, faster heartbeat, fatigue and dizziness, and even the famous dysentery will be induced by high humidity.
On the other hand, too much humidity will accelerate the growth and reproduction of bacteria, causing food and water pollution.
The fog and poison lasted for a whole month. Even a healthy young man would get a serious illness if he didn't pay attention.
So.
With the official start of the "fog and poison" disaster on November 14th of the year of the wasteland's end calendar.
In less than 48 hours, the development of most places in the wasteland stagnated.
Even the powerful head indigenous forces, when faced with such completely unreasonable weather changes, could only call all residents back to the building to minimize the damage caused by humidity.
And in Sunny Harbor City.
The closed mole old underground shelter was fine. The dehumidification equipment that was still usable was running almost 24 hours a day, keeping the underground humidity at no more than 75%.
But in the homeless settlement that was built with great difficulty behind the lightning wall of the Sunny Harbor shelter, layers of accumulated water were scraped out on the ground every day, and countless people could be heard groaning in pain.
It's too wet!
Not only can the weak human body not withstand such torture, but even the strong radiation beasts are listless and lose their aggressiveness.
The mutants in the city boasted of their invincible adaptability. Now they have moved out of the underground pipelines for the first time in a long time and returned to the damaged buildings on the ground to build camps.
From their rotten and diseased skin tissue, it can be seen that the underground environment may have become so bad that humans will get seriously ill if they stay there for a few days.
December 1st of the year in the wasteland calendar.
At the end of the first year of human beings coming to this strange area.
It lasted less than half a month, and a terrible chain plague virus finally began to be born, and spread in the air suitable for survival and swept across the new continent.
No one knows where the source comes from, and no one knows what medicine to use for treatment.
After being infected with this virus named "Hell Flower", the surface of the human skin will quickly ulcerate, forming one after another strange and ugly twisted lines, which looks like a flower about to bloom.
In the body, the virus will also quickly destroy the immune system, bringing extremely terrible complications.
Diarrhea, vomiting, and high fever are only standard features. What is even more terrifying is the rotting of internal organs and organ failure.
The flowers on the surface of the skin are like absorbing nutrients from the human body, which will squeeze people dry.
In such a terrifying and depressing environment, hiding underground may be the best way.
But unfortunately,
it is the harvest season of Tianyuan Territory.
It's here!
