Chapter 211 Sudden Blizzard (1/2)
There was no need for Kevin to remind Gangya that that group of people was difficult to deal with.
Two battles in one day, two losses in a row, nearly forty men and a quarter of his ammunition were destroyed, and a light pickup truck was destroyed.
If you don't leave, I'm afraid even the remaining people will have to explain themselves here!
Just as Gang Ya led the remaining members to escape from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City at dusk, the young players who had just logged off were still discussing the "medal system" launched in this soft update.
In fact, there were medal settings before. After each battle, the team or individual with outstanding performance could get one.
However, that kind of medal does not have an entity. The display on the personal page is just a number, not even a pattern.
Like now, not only do you have specific medal styles, but you can also receive physical medals in the game. This is the first time in "Wasteland OL"!
Proof of victory in an epic battle!
This is no more impressive than a krypton gold skin!
At this time, many players were surprised to find that the medals they had received before were all upgraded to a gear-shaped icon after this server announcement.
If you look closely, the total number of teeth on the inner and outer rings is exactly 404.
After selecting the medal, there is a line of description——
【We set off from here! 】
The medal system has been overhauled!
However, this basic medal seems to only add patterns and collection elements, and attach a version number to the medal. It still has no physical form and only has an electronic version.
The change seems to be just to differentiate it from special medals.
But even so, it can be regarded as a surprise for most professional combat players.
What if?
What if the operator fills the hole in a future version? For example, you can add an in-game physical medal to a previously issued medal, or unlock a hidden achievement when the number of medals reaches a certain level.
It’s not impossible!
Commander Quanshui: "I understand! The 'Gear' medal in ordinary battles is a whiteboard medal, so there is only an electronic version, not a physical version!"
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "To add, the condition for unlocking the 'Shield' medal is to achieve final victory in an epic-level defense mission!"
Quit Smoking: "Wait, that means there are similar achievements for assault, support, or raid missions? (Surprise)"
Who is suffering from Ward's athlete's foot? Levine said: "Let's take a blind guess. If there is a silver medal, there should be a bronze medal, a gold medal and a diamond medal."
Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and asked: "Let's have another master, or else I'm not used to it."
Debt-eyed: "Do you think there will be a military rank system in the future? (Baring teeth)"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Xuan, it's possible if there are more people, but it doesn't seem necessary if there are fewer people. Besides, there is already an identity system. If we open a separate military rank system for the soldier profession, then don't all players go to the soldier profession?" However, it is still recommended that operators add a 'Command' skill to the skill proficiency, so that it can increase the skill level like shooting and fighting. This can also deceive the bosses who like to lead teams and save future generations. If there are too many, those who don’t know how to command will rush to grab the captain’s position, and then they will fill up the formation for outings (sigh).”
Irena: "I suspect you are killing chickens in your heart. (Funny)"
Kill the chicken at midnight: "(Black question mark.jpg)"
The construction site boy and Brick: "Hahaha, that makes sense! People like me who are afraid of taking the blame don't like to lead a team. It's better to just follow along and feel comfortable. You really have to give the leaders a little sweetness. But don't give too much, as it affects the balance. Sex is bad. (Smirk)”
Night Ten: "Planning: I'm copying it, I'm copying it. (Funny)"
…
That night.
After the offline peak.
Chu Guang, who returned to the shelter, glanced at the discussion thread about medals in the forum.
When he reached the floor where his little brother Ye Shi was, Chu Guang chuckled.
copy?
Can there be some pattern?
The planners heard the voices of the players. Isn’t this something that we should be grateful for? If you don’t read a single post, you’re still using your contribution points as money!
"A large part of the contribution points and regional reputation are actually derived from military merit. It is indeed inappropriate to set up an additional military rank."
Chu Guang touched his chin, thought for a long time and then said.
"...However, it is indeed necessary to increase the proficiency of command skills."
He copied and pasted Brother Mole's post into the document, and Chu Guang made a note at the back.
[Change: Skill proficiency is increased by "Command". Based on the difficulty level, scale, casualties, and war scores of the campaign, the "Command" skill proficiency gained by the player in the game is calculated. 】
After that, he will ask Xiao Qi to help design a calculation formula, which can also increase the team leader's gaming experience.
After all, as many players in the forum have reported, leading a team is a very troublesome task. A good performance is everyone's credit, and a bad performance is the responsibility of the captain.
The proficiency of command skills can intuitively reflect a player's organizational ability.
When the boss builds a team, other players are always rushing to build it. The team that fails usually doesn't have enough people in the end, and is automatically merged by the system and voted for the team leader.
In the future, players with high command and many medals should become resources that big guilds compete for, or they may become guild leaders themselves.
This can be regarded as an invisible benefit.
After reading the memorial, Chu Guang turned to the fan section of the forum to see how his design plan for public bidding was completed.
What surprised him was that many masters had already submitted their papers!
"Is it so fast?"
Chu Guang was just about to see the imagination of his little players, but he clicked on a post and almost burst out laughing after just one look.
This person directly drew his face on the silver coin!
And it was not a side profile, but a frontal portrait!
To be honest, the drawing was quite similar, which directly raised the appearance of the silver coin.
However, because it was so similar, Chu Guang even felt that it would be no problem to find him with this coin.
"Good man, do you think my life is too long?"
It's not a good thing to be too prominent in the wasteland.
After all, there are many more crazy people than normal people in this world.
It's a good drawing!
Don't do this next time.
Chu Guang thought that when the Human League is revived and the Wasteland Era is over, it will be no problem for him to come and claim the credit.
As for now, it's better to take it easy.
In addition to the one with his head, there are some weird designs. Some have small fish, some have crows and vines... These are relatively normal. Chu Guang couldn't help but want to lock the abnormal ones.
After browsing around, Chu Guang found that the most reliable one is still Brother Mole.
Since this guy was banned last time, he changed his ways and never drew books again. Instead, he drew some serious things with depth and connotation.
For example, the silver coin this time.
In his design, the front of the silver coin is an artistic "N", which looks the same as the number "1" in the game.
On the back is the claws of a split-claw crab, and an "F" is outlined around the edge of the coin. The rows of lines look like a forked olive branch.
The edge of the coin is designed with anti-counterfeiting teeth, 202 coarse teeth, 202 fine teeth, adding up to 404 teeth, with very small spacing, which increases the difficulty of reproduction.
Since the weight of the silver coin itself is 10g, 100 silver coins are equivalent to one kilogram. Even if someone solves the material and process and successfully counterfeits the silver coin, it will be discovered quickly when it is circulated.
The guards on duty will check the silver coins carried by every person entering the survivor settlement, and the market will also increase patrols and other supervisors in the future. It is almost impossible to carry a large number of counterfeit silver coins into the survivor settlement under Shelter 404.
"404, Not Found, river crab... OK." Chu Guang's eyes lit up after reading the post, and he immediately marked the post of Brother Mole.
The overall design is atmospheric and beautiful, with all the elements but not mixed, and there is a certain threshold for manufacturing.
If there is no better design method until I get up tomorrow morning.
Then use this set!
...
The next morning.
The little players of Shelter 404 rushed out of the sanatorium one after another in the morning sun.
Almost when the first batch of players reached the surface, everyone in the server received a pop-up window.
[Announcement for the whole server: Congratulations to the player "Canyon Escaping Mole" for his second-generation currency design, which was adopted by the official bank of Shelter 404! ]
[Since the player chose to make the achievement public, the achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame! ]
The players who just stood on the square were instantly shocked when they saw these two messages.
"Fuck! Shady deal!"
"That's right! It's too shady! I even drew the administrator's portrait, but it didn't pass!"
"Damn it, a stinky rat got Xiaoyu's mysterious gift!"
The real rat [Forced] who just came out of the sanatorium heard the curses of the surrounding players and looked up in confusion.
"What? Who's calling me?"
The good name was given by the dog: "No, I'm not calling you! We're talking about that mole!"
Forced: "???"
Unable to listen any longer, the old mole couldn't help but yell.
"Gan! Can you have some conscience? My design has all the elements, why don't you use mine?"
Human outline master Cai: "I don't care! Anyway, not using my plan is a shady deal!"
Canyon escaped mole: "x-on:#%!"
...
Black is black.
Although the emperor of Europe is envied and hated, everyone is still very curious about what the mysterious gift is.
Surrounded by a group of people, brother Mole came to the door of the bank and unlocked the legendary mysterious gift from Xiaoyu——
"Xia Xie! Thank you for your contribution to everyone in the shelter!"
Xiaoyu stood up from behind the counter and expressed his gratitude seriously.
This unexpected bow made brother Mole a little panic.
Only the person being thanked knows what it feels like.
"No, no, it's just a little help..."
The so-called mysterious gift is certainly not just a thank you.
Afterwards, Xiaoyu found a golden coin from the drawer and handed it to him.
The coin had a very special design. On the front was an "α" pattern, with the number 1 written next to it - it seemed to commemorate the upcoming end of the Alpha version.
On the back was the gate of the shelter - the pattern was exactly the same as the "gear" medal that was updated before.
"We'll start from here!"
A sense of realization suddenly emerged in the mind of the mole.
Perhaps this was the second-generation currency that the operator originally intended to use.
Mole, who realized this, suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
His actions changed the game.
Even though it’s just a tiny bit…
The players who were gathered around to watch the excitement did not have so many mental activities. Seeing that there were no other rewards, they dispersed in disinterest.
"Hey, what's the mysterious gift I'm talking about? It's just a commemorative coin."
"There is no attribute bonus, it's gone."
Hearing these short-sighted remarks, Mole rolled his eyes at the group.
"You know nothing!"
This kind of out-of-print commemorative coin, with only one issued in the whole server, can be the same as ordinary commemorative coins?
When there are more people in the public beta test in the future, as long as the official does not engage in any "return" activities, the value of this coin will be worth a roomful of silver coins at least!
Can the collection value be summed up by the phrase "commemorative coin"?
After carefully putting the coin in his pocket, Mole planned to put it in the warehouse to keep it safe and insure it at the same time.
This will be his lucky coin from now on.
No matter how much it’s worth, he won’t change it!
…
A new day starts with the warehouse manager swiping demand orders and daily tasks.
The young players who received the mission picked up their weapons or tools and headed towards the wasteland under the rising sun.
but……
This is just some players.
While some players have already started working, some players are currently stuck underground in the sanatorium.
In front of the elevator leading to the surface, a long queue had already lined up from the door of the elevator to the door of the shelter!
Looking at the crowds of people in front of the elevator, Yaya couldn't help but sigh.
"There are too many people here."
The cat ears on his head moved, and Aoao Sesame Paste, who was also lining up next to him, sighed softly.
"Social fear has already begun."
The tail not far away stared at the cat's ears for a long time, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but was stopped by Sisi.
The spring water commander wearing an exoskeleton stretched his neck and looked forward. He became impatient with the waiting and couldn't help shouting.
"Can the one in front hurry up! I'm in a hurry to go up and charge!"
The people in line in front didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but when they saw it was Ou Huang, they immediately pushed back without politeness.
Zhang Hai: "Hurry, hurry, hammer? I don't want to hurry up?"
Elf King Fugui: "That's right, you think the elevator is slow, but I also think the elevator is slow! You can work up to 16 hours a day, and the queue is almost half an hour old!"
The young man carrying fishing tools was shocked when he heard these words.
"Holy crap, 16 hours played, are you a devil?!"
Fishing simulator can be played for 16 hours? !
Elf King Fugui gave him a strange look.
"Otherwise? Isn't it basic to complete the daily tasks and then clear the warehouse? If you don't have the courage, how can you get the money to buy a gun? If you don't have the courage, where can you get the sequence level? If you don't have the courage, how can you become stronger! I feel disgusted even after 16 hours If it’s less, you should cancel the fatigue value setting!”
Standing next to me, I couldn’t help but shake my head when I heard it.
"It's too curly, it's too curly!"
As for that?
Just playing a game!
Although he is online 16 hours a day these days...
…
Standing on the third floor of the nursing home, Chu Guang and Xiao Qi looked down at the bustling square.
Although he didn't hear the complaints from the players below the elevator, Chu Guang could already feel the pressure brought by the increasing number of people on the server from the long queue.
Fortunately, he still had some space left and didn't open the remaining 300 cans.
Otherwise, with 1,100 people, the scene would be terrifying just thinking about it!
Xiao Qi raised the camera and looked at Chu Guang standing aside.
"Master, Xiaoqi feels that the elevator capacity is not enough."
Chu Guang nodded with deep sympathy.
"Indeed, we have to find a way."
Although the maze on the B3 floor diverted a group of players, there were still four to five hundred people queuing up in front of the only elevator leading to the underground during the peak hours of each day.
At its most exaggerated, the queue could even stretch from the front of the elevator to the door of the buffer room.
In fact, if you think about it, even if the elevator can hold 20 people in one trip, it will still take more than 20 round trips to deliver all the players in line to the surface.
In fact, if players bring equipment, the limit for one trip may only be 12 to 15 people.
If it weren't for archiving, many players would simply live outside.
Now Chu Guang has two plans. One is to demolish the sanatorium, dig a hole in the place, and build a larger elevator that can transport more than 100 people at a time.
Another plan is to abandon the elevator and dig a slope hundreds of meters long from the ground to the entrance of the shelter.
However, the threshold for both plans is a bit high. Whether it is demolishing a nursing home and digging a well that is twenty or thirty meters deep, or digging a "basement entrance" that is hundreds of meters long, it is not an easy task.
The only feasible solution at the moment seems to be to build a few more dormant pods and send them to the surface, making the shelter a true resurrection point and placing the save point on the surface.
Currently, 67 dormant cabins have been produced, and except for the 30 units allocated to the industrial zone, the rest have all been sent to the Long-term Farm.
Chu Guang plans to increase the quota of dormant cabins in Jiujiu Farm to 100 before the next version, which will serve as a public save point for players.
As for whether there is a more convenient way to archive...
To be honest, Chu Guang also hopes there is such a method, but unfortunately, there is no better solution at present.
Scanning and recording the development progress of gene sequences, although it is a matter of a sentence, is actually a very complicated process, because it involves a hot and cutting-edge research field in DNA research-epigenetics.
The mainstream view is that humans have 20,000 to 30,000 genes, but these genes are not all expressed. Most of them are like commented-out codes in computer programs.
How to selectively express specific genes and produce the traits people need is actually more complicated than simply modifying a specific gene.
Although the genes stored in the shelter are all excellent varieties that have been screened in the gene bank of pre-war civilization, it is obvious that even the first-generation managers have not mastered the method of fully expressing these genes.
If it can be done, it should be at least a "singularity" level technology.
However, although the first-generation manager did not complete this work, he provided a fairly reliable "solution" for his successor before his death.
That is, let the clones actively evolve under natural selection, then record the selection and expression process of their DNA through scientific means, and simulate the process in the next clone synthesis, and gradually approach the final 100% by growing again and again.
The scanning principle of the hibernation chamber is the same as that of the culture chamber. It is necessary to search all the body cells, and this takes about 3 to 5 hours, which can be completed when the clones are asleep.
It is currently unlikely to save anytime and anywhere.
Fortunately, compared with the synthesis of clones, the scanning function is not very energy-consuming, so the rated power of the hibernation chamber is much lower than that of the culture chamber.
Only a 100KW generator is needed to meet the operation of 100 hibernation chambers, which can be said to be quite economical.
"The generator is almost not enough, and the industrial zone is a big power consumer. We have to find a way to solve the energy problem."
The entire nuclear fusion generator is not very realistic. The fusion battery is too expensive and cannot be charged. One less piece is used. Although the fuel rod is durable enough, it is not easy to find, and the electricity in the shelter cannot be stolen.
The best generator is still the wood generator.
There is a shortage of everything in the wasteland, except wood.
Mosquito and his team had already developed steam engines before, and Chu Guang thought it would not be a big problem if they worked hard to develop a pot-camel machine.
In fact, the legion's light trucks use pot-camels, which can be moved with wood and are very convenient. The life profession players in the new industrial zone are already studying imitations, and it is said that there are some clues.
"I hope it can be completed before the next invasion of the Bone Chewing Tribe."
Chu Guang plans to set two small goals for the players.
One is to build a 1MW-class thermal power station in the new industrial zone, the outpost base, and the Changjiu Farm, respectively, to initially enter the electrical age.
The other is to solve the problem of the engine and be able to produce vehicles independently.
Not to mention immediately forming a motorized force, at least a few more trucks would be fine.
There are only nine trucks available for four transportation routes. To send troops to a slightly farther place, the vehicles in the industrial zone must be freed up in advance.
This transportation capacity is a bit too tight.
Sitting on the third floor of the sanatorium, Chu Guang peeked at his little players through the Hummingbird drone.
Among them, the Niu Ma team has started a new round of attack on the greenhouse ruins. The current progress has reached the B5 floor, which is very close to the B9 floor.
Brother Mole's team has also entered the greenhouse ruins, but their attack is upward rather than downward. The current progress is on the third floor, and there are two floors left to attack.
Mosquito on the edge of the industrial zone is testing the improved rocket, trying to make the rocket more powerful, and a fat mouse is following him.
Brother Ce Suo and Brother Levin of the No. 81 Steel Plant have completely abandoned the dream of 88mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and turned to researching 20mm small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, just like Mosquito gave up the small-caliber jab rocket.
Although the caliber of 20mm is a bit small, as long as the number of barrels is large enough, the power is not small!
If the quadruple is not enough.
Then use the twelve-barrel!
Use bullet rain to light up the whole sky!
Seeing his little players working so hard, Chu Guang was very pleased. With more and more talents in the server, there were fewer and fewer things he needed to do himself.
Back then, he had to go to his neighbor's house to buy vegetables.
Now, if he needs to get something, there are players running errands for him.
…
It was past noon.
The snow outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the visibility outside was getting lower and lower.
At first, he could see 10 meters away, but now standing on the third floor, he couldn't even see downstairs clearly.
For safety reasons, Chu Guang issued a server announcement to remind players to pay attention to the blizzard weather and asked Xiao Qi to take back the drone.
This little guy is too small and not very powerful. Chu Guang is worried that the wind will get stronger and blow it directly into the lake.
The camera looked at the snow outside the window, which was getting heavier and heavier, and Xiao Qi said worriedly.
"Master, the snow outside seems to be getting heavier."
"I can see it."
Staring at the snow outside the window, Chu Guang always had a bad premonition.
There are currently more than 600 survivors gathered at the New United Gas Station. According to the plan, the survivors from Dongliu Camp will arrive at Changjiu Farm at noon today.
If the impact of this snowstorm exceeds expectations, subsequent evacuation plans will undoubtedly be severely hindered.
At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly received a pop-up window on his VM.
The message was from Luca.
Glancing at the screen, Chu Guang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the powered armor parked aside.
Xiaoqi turned the camera and looked at him.
"Owner?"
"I have to go to Changchun Farm."
Chu Guang, who entered from behind the power armor and put on his equipment, continued speaking concisely.
"I'll leave this to you."

(The update time has been a bit unstable in the past few days. Morningstar would like to apologize to everyone. In fact, it is not that I am lazy, but that sometimes I really don’t finish writing. Although I have a complete outline that covers the content and content of each version. The personal lines of each character and the players. But when I was writing it, I had to write a detailed outline to make the plot compact.
For the sake of sustainability in the future, I kindly ask brothers to give me three days to perfect the details so that subsequent updates can be more stable. However, although there is only one update in these three days, the word count is basically around 6k. Once the details of the next stage are finalized, we will resume the daily update from the 10th! )
