Chapter 519 Finally Came In

"Actually, I don't know where that is?" said the Korean player who led the team: "I brought you here because the leader just asked me to take you there when he gave me the Heart of Iron. I have been to that place before. Twice, and each time I just waited at the port and never went in. As for the way back and forth, they were all in submarines, and I didn’t know the route at all. So besides telling you that it is a very important Apart from the place, I can’t tell you anything else.”

Shan Wuwu pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there such a secret place? It's really cool, it's like a secret military base."

"It's not wrong to say it's a secret military market base. After all, the environment of that place..." The Korean player who led the way suddenly stopped here, and then said: "I don't know how to describe it, anyway, you You’d better go and see for yourself and you’ll know.”

During the rest of the voyage, Yamagashi's mouth never stopped, he kept asking about various things, acting like a curious baby, and he even personally operated the submarine for a while after asking for permission. .

In fact, the operation of a small submarine like this is very simple, and as long as it is not in some special sea areas, there is not much to pay attention to when sailing in a normal ocean environment. Anyway, there is no specific route range for you to take under the sea. As long as you don't deviate from the course, it will be no problem even if you take S.

After playing for a while, Shan Wuwu returned the control of the submarine to the previous operator, and then sat back obediently and started asking various questions about the submarine. In fact, Shan Wuwu's actions would not arouse the suspicion of the people around him, because he had already made some intelligence preparations for this operation before breaking into the enemy. first. Among Shangowu's auxiliary occupations, there is a major such as mechanical maintenance. Secondly, when Shangowu joined this group of people, he had always deliberately shown an unusually high interest in technical equipment, and this kind of The situation existed from the beginning, so even if Shan Wuwu showed special interest in certain things in the future, most people would not find it strange, and would just think that this was his hobby. After all, Shan Wuwu was from I started having this hobby when I first joined them.

Of course, in fact, Shan Wuwu has no interest in this aspect at all, because he doesn't like machinery at all. Of course, I can’t say I don’t like it at all. After all, men have some expertise in this area. Therefore, Shan Wuwu’s hobby level is only average, which does not mean that he is not interested at all. However, before this operation, Matsu Masagi specially explained some precautions to him before coming. Among them is the disguise of this hobby. Because if a person who is not usually interested in these things suddenly one day starts to dig into these things. Others will definitely find it strange. But if you've always been like this, people won't be surprised and it's just a hobby.

The submarine sailed underwater for more than two hours before reaching its destination. Although the speed of this kind of submarine cannot be too fast, the distance is definitely not close. After all, time is there.

After entering the port in the front hall, Shan Wuwu got off the submarine with a few people. As soon as he came out of the submarine, Shan Wuwu was shocked because the port here was suddenly an underground area that was even bigger than before. port. The space of this port is at least three times larger than that of the previous port. The reason why there is no exact value is because the port is a U-shaped structure. Their docking position is at one end of the U, and the other end There is a rock wall that goes deep into the port between it and the port here, making it impossible for both sides of the port to see each other. Therefore, Shan Wuwu is not sure about the area of ​​the port on the other side for the time being, but at least he knows that the part of the area that can be seen currently is already It's four times the size of the previous one.

Such a large port is indeed amazing, and due to the reverse water pressure in the underwater port, even such a large port does not require any support columns, which makes the span of the internal space look even more exaggerated. When the player stands in the middle, he feels like a small ant in a giant stadium, and everything around him looks so big.

In fact, what really surprised Shan Wuwu was not the size of the place, but the large row of strange ships that were just visible at the edge of the port on the side they couldn't see.

The reason why we talk about strange ships is that those things can first be determined to be man-made navigation equipment, but the problem is that their structure does not look much like a submarine. Although there are no specific appearance standards for submarines, at least in order to resist water pressure, you can't design the submarine too weirdly. Moreover, if you want the submarine to sail fast enough, you must also ensure the overall fluid shape, so as to minimize resistance.

However, it seems that although all the external structures of the ships in front of them have been treated with hydrodynamics, the overall structure of this thing is more like a surface ship than a submarine. However, if we say that these are surface ships, there are two problems with these things. First, the shapes of these ships are obviously different from the current mainstream station design in the game. You can tell at a glance that the styles of these ships are completely different from modern warships. Second, the appearance of these ships here is a very strange thing. Don't forget that this is not a port on the sea, but an underwater port. The exits of the port are all underwater, and even the entire cave is actually underwater. How did those surface ships get to this kind of deep-sea base?

Of course, no matter how those things got in, at least they are there now, and there should be a lot of them, because there are more than a dozen ships in the small area that Shan Wuwu saw. Moreover, Shan Wuwu keenly discovered that these ships should all look like battleships. Although the weapons on them looked strange, the shape of the forts was still very clear, so these things were most likely to be like warships. It's a battleship.

"Are you looking at those things again?" The player leading the team saw Shan Wuwu looking over there in a daze, and then kindly woke up and said: "Stop looking. Those are all waste."

"Scrap?" Shan Wuwu turned his head and looked over in surprise.

The one who answered him was not the Korean player who just spoke. But another person. This is a Russian player. He looks about 25 or 26 years old. He is very sunny and handsome. He has the feeling of Prince Charming. And this guy is not girly at all, his whole body shows masculine beauty. It can be said that this kind of person is the target of envy and jealousy among men. I don’t know whether he is rich or not, but this guy is definitely tall and handsome, and if he can appear in this place, at least his status will not be too low.

The man said beside Shan Wuwu: "Those were already there when we discovered this cave. It was initially determined that they should be some battleships. However, I don't know why they couldn't be started. Maybe it took too long and they were scrapped. At first, those ships were docked here in a mess, but because they affected the use of normal waterways, they were towed to the port on that side and sealed up. The only port you see now is ours. The side can be used. Almost half of them are scrapped warships."

Shan Wuwu looked at this guy first. Then he asked: "Don't you think you've done some research?"

The Russian player looked at Shan Wuwu and said, "How could you not study it? Isn't this what this place does? And you should have seen the results, right?"

"Result?" Shan Wuwu was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly reacted. "I heard before that Ghost-Hand Nobunaga-kun had received assistance from a batch of super weapons. Could it be the research results of this place?"

The Russian player smiled and said: "You reacted very quickly. Yes, those super weapons you heard about were modified from the research results of weapons similar to torpedoes equipped on the battleships here. But At present, we have very few results that can be put into use. These things are still only advanced weapons that we do not understand."

The Russian player nodded and stretched out his hand and said: "Thank you for your answer. My name is Shan Wuwu, and I have some research on magic technology."

"Hello, I am Alexander, the port director."

"Hello." The Russian player asked after saying hello: "Bring me here...?"

The other party smiled and said: "I brought you here because of the iron hearts you obtained before. Of course, another reason is the magic circle superposition theory you mentioned before."

In order for Shan Wuwu to sneak into the opponent's interior and figure out how to make the Stone of Blasphemy, Matsumasa He also took great pains. Not only did Shan Goshi forge a hobby before, but he even found out some of the research results on the super weapons that our guild seized from Ghost Hand Nobunaga, and then asked Shan Goshi to do it. I wrote everything down, and also asked some special NPCs in our guild to give him some guidance in this aspect.

The result of these efforts is that Shan Wuwu can actually pretend to be a researcher of magic technology. Although his research talents are actually very average, if it is just about the general theoretical knowledge and some research activities, he is actually the real one. Can temporarily serve as a researcher. Of course, the efficiency is definitely not as high as those of professional researchers, but after all, what is promoted to the outside world is hobbies, so the main purpose is to highlight Shan Wuwu's "wonderful ideas" rather than his operational abilities.

In fact, it was very normal to have such preparations at the beginning. After all, the purpose of Shan Wuwu being sent out this time was to sneak into the opponent's research base and figure out how to make the Stone of Blasphemy. However, if he just continued to work hard and contribute, , then Shan Wuwu can only come to this place occasionally at most. After all, if he is just a combatant, the other party will not be on guard against him at most, and it is certainly impossible to specially bring him to this kind of research institution. In this case, it becomes very difficult to obtain those technologies.

It is precisely for this reason that Matsumasa went to great lengths to let Shan Gowu learn the principles of magic technology and other things. The only thing he wanted was to make Shan Gowu a researcher who could have legitimate access to these things. . Moreover, in order to make the other party pay attention to Shanwuwu, Matsumasa also specially showed the research results of our guild to Shanwuwu, so that Shanwuwu could come up with some "inspiration" from time to time. , and these inspirations will eventually prove to be very correct. Inagan is the research result of our guild and not a simple speculation. However, as long as the other party finds that these things produced by Shan Wuwu are indeed feasible, they will definitely notice Shan Wuwu and then start to pay attention to him. If it is confirmed that there is no problem with his identity and he is believed to be a trustworthy person, then the other party will definitely recruit him as a "genius" to join the research. And once Shan Wuwu joins the research sequence, if he wants to get production The method becomes extremely simple.

It can be said that Matsumasa's original design has fully worked. Now, although Shan Gowu pretends to be very confused, he is actually happy in his heart. certainly. A semi-professional spy. Shan Wuwu's quality is still pretty good, so his expression is still flawless, without any flaws showing.

After briefly introducing that he had been paying attention to him for a long time, Alexander asked Shan Wuwu: "I wonder if you are interested in leaving the combat player sequence and joining our research group?"

"I……"

As soon as Shan Wuwu said a word, Alexander immediately said: "Don't be too busy answering. There is no need to make a decision on this matter right away. I will take you to have a general tour of the environment here. As for the question of whether you want to join, you can We will decide after the visit. In addition, I can guarantee that if you join our research project group, we will guarantee to give you a stable salary."

Now, because the number of players in "Zero" is getting larger and larger, and many guilds have become commercialized, many guilds have begun to pay salaries to their members. Of course, this salary is not set casually. There are generally two types of guilds that actually charge wages, one is the real commercial guild. These guilds are like game studios in the past. They will specifically find something to make money. Of course, this profit does not mean earning gold coins. The monsters in "Zero" do not explode gold coins at all. This so-called profit actually refers to making money through mining, completing tasks, and pure commercial activities, so the membership base in these guilds is basically Like the professional players in game studios in the past, they all work for a salary.

In addition to these guilds, there are also some guilds that pay wages, mainly large guilds, such as our Frost Rose Alliance. However, these guilds do not pay wages to every player, but only to senior players or leaders in the guild. The main purpose of doing this is to keep powerful players in the guild, which is a way to win people's hearts. Of course, our guild has great benefits, so even if we don’t pay wages, there are still a lot of people who want to join, but in the end they have no chance to join. However, most large guilds still need to rely on wages to win over a large number of masters to maintain the strength of the guild. Therefore, not every player can do this kind of thing. On the contrary, this kind of thing is actually very rare. After all, whether they are members of professional commercial guilds or masters recruited from large guilds, they all have one thing in common, and that is - they have expertise. If these people are not very good in some kind of life occupation, then their combat power must be exaggerated. Anyway, they must have some extraordinary ability. However, these strange people are a minority after all, and most players cannot have those abilities, so naturally they cannot be qualified to pay wages.

As far as the other party knew, Shan Wuwu had never been paid before. Therefore, Alexander felt that it would be a relatively big temptation to offer Shan Wuwu a salary at this time.

Of course, it is impossible for Shan Wuwu to care about this salary. Not to mention the benefits he received in our guild and the cohesion of our guild, the salary we offer alone cannot be too low. Although the guild does not pay wages to every player, because we have a system such as guild contribution, it is equivalent to paying wages in disguise. Moreover, players in our guild who go to Matsumasa He's side to act as spies can get special wages, and if they become spies, the contribution points are also very easy to get. If it weren't for the confidentiality, we don't dare to openly select people, I guess it will work. In the meeting, there will be a fight for those spots to become spies.

Although he didn't care about the salary issue, Shan Wuwu was acting at this time, so as soon as he heard about the salary, he immediately began to act hesitant, and then asked tentatively: "Excuse me, can I Can we do it together?"

"Huh?" Alexander came to ask Shan Wuwu to wait until the tour was over before answering, but he didn't expect Shan Wuwu to suddenly ask such a question. However, although he was confused, he quickly replied: "It's not impossible for both parties to work together, but why do you have such a request?"

Shangowu said matter-of-factly: "As you can see from my current account, I really like the combat system of "Zero", so if you ask me to do research every day, it will definitely not work. If I really like to do research every day, how could I have become the profession I am now if I chose a non-combat character?"

Due to the design purpose of "Zero", the internal structure of the body is very diverse. Many players will feel uncomfortable after entering the game. After all, although fighting games have a wide audience, they are not 100% covered. For those players who don't like to fight and kill, if they are in a world full of battles. How can we continue to play happily? Therefore, players can choose whether they want a combat character or a non-combat character from the initial character selection.

That's what I am like a combat character. Have the ability to fight. There are one or several combat professions as the main profession, and there are also several non-combat professions as auxiliary professions. However, there are certain restrictions on the auxiliary professions for combat players. Leveling up will be slower. As for non-combat players, as long as you choose a non-combat character, all the professions you can choose are life professions, and they are all equal regardless of the main profession or secondary profession. Moreover, the occupation types of these non-combat players are not limited, which means that theoretically you can learn the skills of all non-combat occupations at the same time. However, due to the speed of leveling and the investment of money, most people usually can only take electives. Two or three professions, after all, most people can understand the principle of biting off more than they can chew. If you learn too much and each skill is only one or two levels, it will be useless to train this kind of character.

In fact, in addition to being unable to learn combat skills, the main feature of non-combat players is that they are protected by the system. For example, in urban safe areas, non-combat players may still be killed. However, the punishment for maliciously killing non-combat players is much more severe than the penalty for maliciously PKing ordinary combat players. Not only will the number of ordinary combat players killed be increased by more than ten times the sin value, and will also lead to a series of attribute changes. It is currently recognized on the forum that killing non-combat players will reduce the luck value. Although the value of the luck value attribute cannot be seen, when creating a character, there is clearly such an attribute there, and there are many skills. The description will directly tell you that the power of this skill is directly related to the luck value.

In addition, as far as I know so far, luck value is not only directly related to many combat attributes of the player, but also interferes with everything you do in the game that requires probability calculations. For example, drawing a lottery, opening a box, choosing a character, and what kind of monster you encounter. In short, this attribute is very important. If this attribute becomes zero, basically as long as you fight with others, you will definitely lose, and if it is a negative number , then congratulations. Even if no one attacks you, you may die inexplicably from various accidents. This is not speculation, but our guild has specifically tested it. The conclusion is that the lucky value must be at least a little. As long as it is not zero, there is no big problem. At most, you will not get any advantage when calculating probability, but it will not Unexpected bad luck. Once it becomes zero, it will be very troublesome, especially if it becomes a negative number. Go to the nearest temple and spend money to apply for a shelter, then squat there and wait for your luck to recover naturally before you come out, otherwise you will probably go shopping. He was trampled to death.

After listening to Shan Wuwu's words, Alexander finally understood what Shan Wuwu meant. Anyway, he didn't like to stay in the research room all the time. Although Shan Wuwu also has a certain interest in research, he is not the kind of person who can stay in the research room all the time. Generally speaking, he still likes to go out and do activities.

Alexander doesn't have much objection to this requirement. As long as he can participate in research, he doesn't necessarily need to stay in the laboratory all the time. Anyway, they are interested in Shan Wuwu's creativity rather than his practical ability. They only need him It would be nice to occasionally care about some progress and come up with some research directions. There is no need for him to spend time in the laboratory every day.

After thinking about it, Alexander immediately nodded and said: "As long as you can promise to come to the laboratory to work at least sixteen hours a week, I can promise you."

According to the eight-hour work system. Sixteen hours is two days. You only need to work two days a week, which is not too much. Shan Wuwu also nodded immediately and said: "In that case, I can promise you now. But a visit is still required. At least I need to be familiar with the future working environment!"

Alexander immediately became happy after hearing Shan Wuwu's words, and then he began to lead Shan Wuwu to visit the secret base.

In fact, the reason why Shan Wuwu insists on coming out occasionally is not that he really likes fighting and doesn't want to stay in the laboratory all the time. Although it is true that he has no interest in experiments and does not want to stay in the laboratory, spy work is something that can be overcome. The main reason why Shan Wuwu insisted not to stay here all the time was because of espionage work.

This underwater base obviously has very strict confidentiality measures and is located deep under the sea. The position of the body is too hidden. Our guild's crystal communicator has a transmission distance limit. If the distance exceeds a certain range, transfer devices are required, and we currently have a large number of transfer devices installed on several major waterways. Even the sea surface has not been fully covered, let alone the seabed. so. If Shan Wuwu stays here all the time. Even if he got the research materials, he wouldn't be able to send them out at all. This was the root reason why he insisted not to stay in the laboratory all the time.

Many people may ask. Aren’t there two characters in Shan Wuwu? Since one of the characters is a Chinese player, can't the information be sent out by simply switching between two accounts? In fact, this is just delusion. Don't think that the magic arrays in the game are very simple things, especially the magic arrays studied in this base. This is no longer a flat magic array but a three-dimensional three-dimensional magic array. In the eyes of ordinary people, these magic circles are like mazes. And it’s a three-dimensional maze. The structural diagram of a three-dimensional magic circle may be so complicated that it requires a paper as large as a room to draw, and the lines on it can be described as densely packed. Do you expect Shan Wuwu to bring something like this back to the guild by switching accounts back and forth? What kind of memory does it take to do that? so. The only way to get information is to actually bring things out, and it is definitely not possible to just rely on the player's memory to retell them.

Because Shan Wuwu had agreed to stay, Alexander obviously had a very good attitude towards him and led Shan Wuwu into the port. As for the few people who came with Shan Wuwu, they were sent away after handing over Heart of Iron and Stone.

This base is obviously still under the direct supervision of the Russians. There are basically no players from other countries inside. Those who sent Shan Wuwu here before were all Korean players. They obviously have a very low status in this place. There is no way to access the core content at all, and even the status of Japanese players here is much higher than that of Korean players. Shan Gowu's treatment here clearly reflects the value of his Japanese status. Although he will be treated better because he is a technical staff that the opponent needs to recruit, Japanese players have a higher status here than Korean players. It's still obvious that there are a lot of them.

After coming down from the port terminal, there is a large flat rocky ground. This ground is obviously artificially constructed. Not only is it very flat, it also has special anti-slip textures on the ground. This is obviously not a natural thing.

After passing through the wide and busy pier, we entered the vicinity of the rock wall that separated the two sides of the port. Here we can see a row of more than a dozen huge entrances. After entering the interior from here, some automatic machines appeared. vehicle. However, these vehicles are obviously things left in the ruins and not made by Russia, because these vehicles are all in the shape of beetles, and if Russian players built them themselves, I think these vehicles should be close to those in reality, at least as much. The truck looks just right.

After getting into a large Beetle-like car, Shan Wuwu was sent to a large underground passage by Alexander, but only a small section of this passage was lit, and both sides were pitch black, making it difficult to see. There was something there, and even faint traces of collapse could be seen at the end of the light not far to the left.

Passing through this horizontal aisle is a huge underground space. The area of ​​this space is not very large, but it is very high. There are artificial rooms lined up on the walls around the cylindrical cave. It can be seen that the working space here is very large. And because it is arranged vertically, it saves space. However, Shan Wuwu and the others did not want to stop here, but drove out from another exit of this space. After that, they passed through several such spaces one after another before reaching a vertical space that was larger than before.

This seems to be the last space in this place, so there is only one entrance and another door, but it is obviously blocked by collapsed rocks, making it impossible to get through.

After Alexander stopped the Beetle, he asked Shan Wuwu to get out of the car and said: "This place is our research center. When we first discovered this place, it was empty and there was nothing left. Apparently the builders here evacuated. It wasn't a very panicky time here. All the things that could be taken away were taken away. The remaining things were placed neatly. But it was too long ago when we came. Most of the things were just touched. It just turned into a fan. Basically, I didn’t get anything out of it.”

"That's such a pity!" Shan Wuwu said deliberately pretending to be very sorry.

Alexander smiled and said: "Anyway, they are all picked up for free. A little bit is a little bit. The battleships and weapons on them outside are the best goods. It's a pity that these things are protected. And the reason why I need you It's because you can help us lift their mysteries. Let us see the true appearance of the beauty under the veil."

Shan Wuwu said seriously: "I'm not a professional in this. So I can't guarantee it. All I can say is that I will try my best. After all, this is also my hobby. As for the permission I mentioned before There is no need to exaggerate the fact that I go out as you said. I estimate that I will spend most of my time here. And even if I go out, it may be irregular. After all, if I study key things, I may study one or two in one breath. Weeks without a break, and if I go out on a mission and encounter a long-term mission, I won’t be able to come back right away!”

Alexander smiled and said: "It's up to you, as long as you can ensure that you can have sixteen hours per week on average. Our management is relatively loose."

Shan Wuwu nodded and said, "Are we going to the experimental area now?"

Alexander nodded and said: "Actually, this entire place is an experimental area, but the place I want to take you to is dedicated to the study of composite magic arrays."

"That's it." Shan Wuwu actually wanted to go see the production and research site of the Blasphemy Stone right away, but this kind of thing shouldn't be so urgent. If the purpose is too strong, it will be easily exposed.

Alexander didn't answer, but quickly led Shan Wuwu to an elevator-like place on the edge of the wall and stood up. However... speaking of it, the research results of the Russians are indeed the reverse engineering research route. Because they did not develop it step by step by themselves, but reversely dismantled the technology in the ruins, their technology is very scientific. sharp. The previous three-dimensional hybrid magic array was so complicated that the elevator used in their laboratory was actually hand-cranked. Although this thing is already very labor-saving, after all, the rider still has to go to the trouble of shaking the handle. This is a quite backward design.

Although he wanted to complain about this human-powered elevator, Shan Wuwu still endured it. Follow Alexander to a certain floor, exit the elevator, and then enter a circular corridor. The reason why we know that this corridor is circular is because this corridor has obvious curvature, and from what we saw below, this experimental area is located on the inner wall of a vertical cylindrical shaft, so the experimental area The body should be a ring structure.

Not far from here, Alexander pushed open a door and brought Shan Wuwu in. Shan Wuwu's first impression after entering here was that it was a mess. The huge space, which is several times larger than the lobby of a large cinema, is filled with test benches one after another, and all the test benches are filled with various experimental equipment, plus those next to the test benches. With some scraps and experimental materials piled up, this place is little better than a garbage dump. Compared with the snow-white laboratories in science fiction movies, this is simply a negative example!

"Bakanov, I brought that Shan Fifty-Five." After Alexander came in, he walked directly towards the largest test bench in the center, while still saying something. The guy whose name was called also raised his head and turned around when he heard the voice, but Shan Wuwu trembled when he saw the thing in the guy's hand, because it was clearly a Stone of Blasphemy.

"It's really effortless to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere!" Shan Wuwu muttered in his heart. (To be continued...)
