"Wasteland OL" official website.

[Unofficial update: In order to solve the problem that everyone has no decent clothes to wear in the Beta version, Boss Xia, who has been practicing in seclusion for nearly a year, finally came up with a big move and designed a new set of power armor for everyone that is easy to produce!

This power armor is no longer limited to purchase, and you can purchase it if your contribution level reaches "Apprentice Knight"!

We are now collecting armor code names, everyone is welcome to vote!

Tails: "giao! Powered Armor!!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "The thick steel shell and the streamlined armor arc are like a steel giant! Especially the limb design with both strength and agility, it is more like a champion in the boxing ring than a 'champion'! Hiss!" ——My DNA is moving!

Quit smoking: "Fuck you, you're awesome!"

Ye Shi: "You summed up Brother Mole's flattery in one sentence, how can he continue to show off. (Funny)"

Guangfeng: "(squinting smile)"

Irena: “I vote for ‘Raven’ (funny).”

Elf King Fugui: "Mk. VI type, right? Fast forward to the Horus Heresy, and the managers are killing each other. (Funny)"

Commander Quan Shui: "Let's just call it 'Storm'. It's a good name, huh."

Edge of water: "Get out! Why isn't it called 'death'?"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Hey, your bird's name is too unlucky, so let's call it 'Skeleton'."

The edge of the water: "???The name of your bird is auspicious?"

Baiyin's father: "Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, be quiet for now! Listen to me! How about we compromise and call it 'Silver'?"

Silver Sword: "Get out! This name is too lame."

Silver Hand: "+1, I won't even take the name of a hot chicken or a dog."

Bai Yin’s father: “Gan!”

Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

I wanted to be quiet: "?Did someone call me just now?"

Sisi: "Well, seriously, how about 'magma'?"

Tails: "!!! It sounds weird, why not call it Big Bear. (///ω///)"

Teng Teng: "...?"

Sisi: "Hey, it's Awei as expected. Before he could recover, the wheel had already run over his face. (╯▽╰)"

Roshan Big Momo: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all? QAQ"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "Ahaha...haha..."

Jiujiu loves to eat pineapple: "How about calling it a can? It looks like a tin can!"

Crow Crow: "When you said that, I suddenly felt weird like a mushroom. 0.0"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "MMP! I'm so angry! This thing only has one more nuclear fusion core than what I designed. Why doesn't anyone look at me!! (angry)"

Luo Yu: "Are you sure that the thing you designed only lacks one fusion core???"

Stop talking nonsense: "I testify, it's not that thing that's missing at all, it's the strength animal that's missing. (Funny)"

Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

…

In Xizhou City, there is a heavily guarded factory building on the edge of Camp 101.

Unlike other nearby facilities with a strong academic atmosphere, this factory building is not only covered with iron wires on the walls, but also has surveillance covering every inch of the ground leading to the central building.

However, in sharp contrast to the strict security on the outside, the layout inside the factory is quite casual, even scrawled.

A dozen abandoned shipping containers were placed haphazardly in an open space the size of half a football field, with rusty brackets and hook locks hanging from the three-story ceiling.

From time to time there was a popping sound and a blinding flash of sparks.

This is not because the factory is assembling something, but because two power armors armed to the teeth, with shoulder armors painted blue and red respectively, are engaged in a fierce exchange of fire.

That thick steel shell, streamlined armor arc, and compact design that combines power and speed!

It is the brand new equipment of this "unofficial update"——

Codename "DLZJ-1"!

Outlaw: "Oh oh oh oh! Go to hell!"

I am responsible for dying first: "Da da da!!! Damn, if you want to kill me, you are too young!"

The tracers of rifle bullets shuttled freely between the bunkers, leaving thumb-sized bullet holes in the containers. However, the impact on the breastplate of the power armor only left scratches the size of fingernails.

Even if an ordinary 7mm rifle bullet empties a magazine, it will be difficult to break through the defense of power armor.

It must at least be continuously fired with 7mm full-power bullets or 12mm heavy machine guns, so that it can accumulate enough metal fatigue.

However, the two sides in the firefight can be described as evenly matched.

To be optimistic, everyone has his or her own rules, but to be unoptimistic, it's just like novices pecking each other.

The two sides fired thousands of bullets at each other, but the turtle's shell was too thick and no one could do anything to the other.

In a sense, although their performance in combat lacked proficiency, it also reflected the superior defensive performance of the new equipment.

Even soldiers who wear this type of power armor for the first time can rely on the all-round protection provided by the power armor to take a shower for an hour in the hail of bullets.

However, the experiment had been going on for so long, and the ammunition consumed had already exceeded the budget. The person in charge of the test equipment quickly ordered the final step to be entered.

[Supply Refresh] pop-up windows popped up on the holographic eyepieces of the red and blue helmets at the same time, and at the same time, marked points were refreshed on the tactical map.

At the same time, a box with only a weapon label detached from its hook lock and fell from the ceiling bracket.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately rushed towards the nearest supply box and punched open the lock.

Looking at the large-caliber bolter lying in the box, ecstasy instantly appeared on his face, and he reached out and took it in his hand.

"Hahaha! Xiaofa, don't blame dad for being rude. Open your mouth and try this thing!"

The outlaw maniac was instantly shocked when he saw the guy in his hand, holding an assault rifle.

"What the hell!? Are you serious?!"

I was responsible for pulling the trigger with a grim smile.

"Suffer death!"

Thick tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle, and the flickering tracers were like scurrying pythons, scaring the outlaws into hurriedly running away.

The 19mm armor-piercing projectile left more than just an eye on the target. The sparks burst out like molten iron in a forge.

I held the trigger tightly and emptied the entire magazine, although it was a pity that I only hit one round.

The outlaw who was shot in the chest let out a cry of pain, but soon found that he was still alive.

The metal jet released by the armor-piercing projectile penetrated the first layer of armor without any suspense, leaving a shattered hole in the chest armor.

However, when the metal jet passed through the gaps in the first layer of armor and rushed to the second layer, almost all of its energy was removed.

Although bolter rounds have the same principle as armor-piercing rounds, they still cannot keep up with the caliber of RPG and recoilless gun armor-piercing rounds. Metal jets can only penetrate the iron skin of armored vehicles and the chests of mutants. To deal with power armor, it depends on the hit rate. Which part of it is.

The breastplate's defensive power is undoubtedly the strongest!

The outlaw gangster was instantly shocked by the equipment he was wearing and the black technology fabricated by "Wasteland OL".

Good guy.

The breastplate of this individual protective gear is actually made into gap armor!

If this protective power were put into reality, it would be a proper humanoid Gundam!

After recovering from the impact of the armor-piercing bullet, the outlaw maniac climbed up from the ground with a curse, and picked up the rocket launcher he picked up from the supply box in the chaos.

The streamlined barrel was equipped with a holographic scope with a strong sci-fi feel. After quickly locking it, he soon heard the beep notification coming from the headset.

"MMP! You're so fucking loaded with a bolter, don't blame me for being ruthless, brother!"

Looking at the thick and long rocket launcher, I was in the process of changing the magazine and was stunned for a moment.

"Fuck! Pigeon missile?! Wait-"

"Wait for a while, go to hell——!" The outlaw grinned and pulled the trigger.

White tail flames spurted out, drawing a meteor-like trajectory in the small factory building. This thing was not as slow as the missiles in the movie, and it flew in front of me who was responsible for dying first in an instant.

If he was an agility type player, he might still have a chance to dodge, but unfortunately he is a physique type player and has no other strengths except resisting beatings.

The flames of the explosion instantly obscured his vision, and the hot shock wave easily blew him away, slamming into a container a few meters behind him.

Alarm reminders sounded in my ears and in front of my eyes at the same time.

【warn! The armor was severely damaged! The power, internal circulation, and health monitoring systems are paralyzed, and the ability to continue fighting is completely lost. 】

As soon as I saw this line of red letters, I, who was bleeding from the mouth, suddenly became anxious and cursed and touched the [Forced Escape] switch.

"Shut up! I can still fight!"

However the switch was locked.

There was no way he could get out of the power armor.

The battlefield analysis program seemed to have completed the judgment of victory and defeat, and concluded that he had lost the ability to move. Then, another holographic pop-up window appeared on his tactical eyepiece.

[The game ends, the red team wins. 】

[Winner ID: Outlaw]

The same words are also projected in front of the eyes of the outlaws.

Although there was no audience around him, he ecstatically raised the personal rocket launcher in his hand and cheered in victory.

"Ouch!"

At the same time, a series of pop-up windows also appeared on his VM.

【mission completed! 】

[Reward: 50 silver coins, 50 contribution points. 】

[Additional reward for the winner: 50 silver coins]

Looking at the reward that had arrived, the outlaw showed a satisfied smile on his face, feeling happy in his heart.

This mission is so cool!

Not only can you be the first to experience new equipment worth millions of silver coins, but you can also have an "exciting" battle with your good brothers on the training ground, and you will also be rewarded with silver coins and contributions!

really.

It's still good to lick the manager from time to time and refresh your favorability!

At the same time, in the observation area next to the factory building, a group of engineers and technicians were busy summarizing test data.

Several engineers from Jushi Military Industry were standing together and communicating quietly.

"The protective performance of this armor is still very good...all properties meet the lower limit standards of power armor."

"It just lacks mobility a little bit."

"It may be due to the lack of a battlefield guidance system...the individual quality requirements for soldiers will be higher than those of wartime models such as 'Dragoon' and 'Champion'."

"The user showed emotional reactions during the battle...This equipment is suspected to cause the user to become hyperactive."

"This can be written into the report, but it remains to be seen... After all, it is the same when those guys test other weapons."

"Incredible...The Alliance actually has engineers who can design power armor?"

"I heard that the designer is a resident of Boulder City."

"Impossible! I have never heard of such a person! Jushi Military Industry does not have a production line for power armor! There is only one maintenance line left!"

"Anyway...it's really amazing."

Strictly speaking, there are no experts in the field of "power armor" in Camp 101. There are only experts in the field of "holographic imaging" to "carbon-based wafers" to "high-sensitivity motors" and "composite armor" materials. A series of technologies such as

They are like pieces of a puzzle. When stored individually on the hard drive, they are immovable data. When combined, they become a brand new piece of equipment.

Xia Yan, who designed this suit of armor, did not actually create new technology. He put these fragmentary information together like a puzzle based on his understanding of weapons and the battlefield environment in the wasteland, as well as the learning of new knowledge. Together.

She uses both the data stored in Vault 101 and the technology recovered by the scientific expedition team from the remains of the evolved bodies recovered by the players.

Weapons engineers from Jushi Military Industry marveled at the superb skills of Alliance engineers, but in fact this was not a miracle completed by one person, but a set of tasks that covered everything from "technology recycling" to "technology classification" to "technology Products completed by the "garbage picking system" in all aspects such as recycling" and so on.

In this system with a clear division of labor, there are only minimum requirements for individual abilities, and the work of any one person is small.

Although it is also indispensable...

Looking at Xia Yan, who had her arms crossed and a look of apprehension on her face, with her right fist against her lips and biting her fingernails unconsciously, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth and encouraged her softly.

"Be confident, this is the result of your hard work."

Noticing the gaze from the side, Xia Yan's cheeks turned red involuntarily.

"I feel that the anti-explosion capability needs to be strengthened... During the previous test, it was clear that gap armor had been used, but the effect against armor-piercing projectiles was still not ideal."

Chu Guang joked with a smile.

"After all, it is a pigeon missile, which is enough to deal with tanks. If you were to defend it so easily, Jushi Military Industry would go bankrupt on the spot."

"I know..." Xia Yan muttered, staring straight at the screen and muttering to himself, "Maybe I'm greedy... I just feel a little unwilling."

Seeing her stubborn expression, Chu Guang said nothing, but felt a little sorry for her.

Thinking about it, she really put a lot of effort into this equipment, so much so that Boss Xia, who had always been carefree, showed a rare worry about gain and loss on his face.

But after all, he is not a professional and cannot help with any professional issues.

But at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly had an idea and thought of the "explosive design" of the "Type 2 unpowered armor" that Mosquito had recently created.

Seizing the inspiration that emerged at this moment, he blurted out subconsciously.

"...How about adding an active defense mechanism? For example, reactive armor."

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Reactive armor?"

"Um!"

Chu Guang nodded on a whim, gestured with his index finger, and briefly introduced the concept of reactive armor to her.

"To put it simply, it means actively detonating the enemy warhead when it approaches. For example... it senses the approach of weapons such as rockets through infrared or electromagnetic waves, detonates the reaction module attached to the armor shell, and releases fragments in a directional manner. Its destruction."

This defense mode is common on modern tanks, second only to the low-cost grille armor, but it is quite rare on the equipment of the People's Alliance Army.

The reason is simple. After the People's Federation entered the era of prosperity, all military conflicts on the earth have basically ended, and there are no signs of military conflicts outside the earth.

In that unique golden age, human civilization focused almost all its creativity and productivity on the exploration of a new era and new life. As for weapons, they need to be improved in the confrontation of offense and defense. They cannot appear out of thin air without demand, and related research has naturally stagnated.

Powered armors as small as running on the ground and starships as large as flying in the sky were actually completed in a short period of time before the outbreak of the three-year war.

As imaginary enemies and actual combat targets, the colonial rebels mainly rely on biotechnology. Naturally, the People's Federation has no need to install redundant "anti-Monroe effect" armor on its tanks and individual armors.

Therefore, whether it is a "Champion" or a "Dragoon", its all-round armor mainly targets conventional ammunition fired by light weapons, exotic venom, poison gas, stingers, Phalanx and fangs, as well as one's own nuclear weapons, etc. .

The protective power of this kind of individual armor is indeed impressive, but it is not completely suitable for the extremely chaotic situation in the wasteland where "even predators may pull out a tactical nuclear bomb".

Enterprises probably have the most say on this point.

Although the Iron Fist rocket launchers installed on a large scale by the Legion are not outstandingly powerful, they still pose a considerable threat to the company's power armor. Paired with low-cost clone troops, it almost overturned the luxuriously equipped Pioneer defense force.

To a large extent, this is because power armor is not designed to deal with "obsolete weapons" such as armor-piercing projectiles.

In order to deal with the war scene in the wasteland, the Alliance needs to inject a new military concept into the ancient power armor.

Of course, installing reactive armor on power armor was just Chu Guang's temporary idea. It was mainly to replace the portable deflector shield that he had no conditions to produce. As for whether it would be feasible or not, it would still need to be rigorously experimentally demonstrated.

However, looking at the thoughtful expression on Xia Yan's face, Chu Guang felt that this design idea should also have some reference value.

"Hmm... I think I can give it a try, but this design has no precedent at all. I'm not sure if it will work."

Looking at Xia Yan who was still hesitating, Chu Guang smiled lightly and said in a patient tone.

"Go boldly and try. The problems we are facing now are things that people would not have imagined two centuries ago. You cannot completely expect to find the answers from reference books."

"We need to recover the wisdom of the old era from the ruins, but it shouldn't be the only option. I suggest that you find inspiration from 'Goblin Technology' when you have nothing to do. Although the guy named Mosquito has a bit of a wild idea. , but he actually sees the problem and is thinking about how to solve it.”

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll try it later..." Xia Yan put down her arms and stretched herself.

After saying these words, she had already cheered up again.

But for some reason, she, who had already cheered up, suddenly looked away and muttered something unhappy.

"By the way, can you please stop being like that...always talk to me like an elder. You are not my father."

Although she didn't hate the gentle encouragement, and even liked it a little, every time the guy spoke, she felt like she was being treated like a child.

She couldn't tell why.

Just not happy.

Looking at Xia Yan who suddenly became awkward, Chu Guang immediately realized that his tone was a little too serious.

Perhaps because the place where he works and where he lives overlap so much, he occasionally brings work into his life unconsciously.

It's really not good to do this with someone you're familiar with.

However, it was rare to see such a cute side of Boss Xia, so Chu Guang couldn't help but tease him.

"I didn't expect you to think of me like this."

"You, what are you talking about? That's why a devil looks at you like this!"

Face turned red as a lantern, Xia Yan glared at him fiercely, bared her teeth, and looked like she wanted to pounce on him and take a bite out of him.

Chu Guang also didn't expect that a "retaliatory" joke would cause Boss Xia to have such a big reaction, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be a little weird.

In the group, he often plays like a father and son with his good brothers. In the past, most people just laughed and said, "I am Xie Daddy." Now, they even call him "Dad, Daddy" because he is so enthusiastic that he usually Sorry for the bubbling.

Generally speaking, no one will care if you joke about things that are far from reality, unless you have some traces of it.

This guy……

Could this be serious?

In order to change the topic, Chu Guang coughed slightly.

"...By the way, have you decided what to call this set of power armor?"

Apparently realizing that his reaction was a bit strange, Xia Yan also coughed and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Isn't there a number...that DLZJ-1?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's a weapon number. Powered armors in the People's Alliance era all have code names that are easier to pronounce. Why don't you give your own work one too?"

Although he opened a voting thread on the official website, if the designer himself has a better idea, the designer's opinion will definitely be the main one.

Xia Yan scratched the back of his head with a headache.

Like Chu Guang, she had no talent in choosing names. She thought about it for a long time with no results and said impatiently.

"It's so troublesome. You might as well just call me daddy."

Chu Guang: "..."

"Ahem, I was joking."

Pursing her lips and thinking about it, Xia Yan thought seriously for a long time. Suddenly her eyes lit up, she looked at Chu Guang with a smile and said.

"Yes!"

Seeing her smiling expression, Chu Guang suddenly felt uneasy and couldn't help but remind her.

"Don't tell me to call me mom, grandpa, grandma, etc. Let's be normal... If we don't scare the enemy, at least don't laugh."

If you really call these harmless names, you will probably make your enemies laugh to death.

"What are you talking about? I was seriously thinking about how it was possible to choose such a joking name."

Xia Yan rolled her eyes angrily, cleared her throat forcefully, and tried to make a serious expression, but the curve of the corners of her mouth still revealed the joy in her heart.

In fact, it doesn’t have to be frightening and frightening to the enemy.

Its meaning can also be to bring solid and powerful hope to our compatriots.

This is also the path to victory.

At the same time, it is also the expectation given to her as a "mother".

"Just call it 'Xiaguang'!"
