This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 501: The place where civilization first collapsed
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
The Great Desert is located in the west of Luoxia Province.
Although it is named after a desert, it is actually not as "desolate" as most wastelanders imagine.
The concrete buildings that either collapsed or were submerged in yellow sand, as well as the rusty warehouses and factories, all indicate the past prosperity of this place. Even though the rolling yellow sand has been blowing for two centuries, it still has not completely submerged this man-made miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.
Not only that, because the underground ocean current transportation pipelines intersect here, a large amount of desalinated seawater seeped into the underground rock formations due to pipeline rupture, forming a rich underground water reservoir.
Therefore, even though this area is filled with many meteorological disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms, radioactive dust, and thunderstorms, the species active in this area are actually more prosperous than in the Luoxia Province next door. At that time, the only blessing left to Luoxia Province was a few oases, but the situation here was completely opposite. There are so many favors left over that it overflows with "Damn...what the **** is that?"
A giant snake as thick as an oil drum slowly swam between the two collapsed high-rise buildings. Its cracked skin was like dry yellow earth, lurking in the soft quicksand like a giant fallen tree.
Looking at the dozens of meters long giant snake squirming forward in the quicksand, the soldier wearing the exoskeleton took two steps back with his scalp numb.
His name is Su Ming, and his position is a precision shooter. The 26 printed on his breastplate and arms is his and his brothers' numbers, and it is also the logo of the "Enterprise Commando Team 26".
As one of the few companies that participated in the battle of Luoxia Province, the ground department
Team, they mainly perform forward, guerrilla and sabotage missions behind enemy lines in war.
Although most residents of Ideal City attribute all the credit for the victory of the war to their allies, they actually participated in many battles. It just doesn’t sound that good when written in a press release.
Walking next to Su Ming, Yun Song stared at the giant snake. The box in the tactical eyepiece locked it in the center, and the progress bar walked along the edge of the box.
"There is no record of it in the database... You discovered it first, how about you give it a name?" Su Ming touched the back of his head. "Sandworm"
Before Yun Song could say anything, Gu Wei, who was wearing power armor, smiled and teased. "It's too earthy, and there's already one in the desert next door. It's completely different from this guy." "Then...earth dragon? Giant earthworm? Digger?" "Just digger... don't waste time."
Interrupting the conversation between the two, Yun Song stretched out his index finger and tapped twice in the air, operated the holographic window to save the image data, and then switched to the tactical map. "The target is about one kilometer ahead... Everyone should be more vigilant. We will be able to take our employees home soon." "Oh," Su Ming shouted feebly. They have been on duty for almost a full year.
Spanning thousands of kilometers of wasteland, they were even involved in the war in Luoxia Province. He kept thinking that he could make a movie about his experiences along the way. Under Yunsong's order, the 26th Assault Team continued the operation. Led by the android soldiers and drones, the group advanced along the dilapidated concrete road for a while, carefully avoiding large expanses of quicksand and several areas with abnormal life signals.
At this time, there was new news from the communications team. Yun Song raised his right fist and signaled the team to stop at the entrance of an abandoned factory.
At this point, they are only the last three hundred meters away from the mutant tribe. On the abandoned building in the distance, you can even see a camouflage bunker filled with garbage and a mutant whistler standing guard with a telescope
"!!! The mission status update is good news. The alliance has decided to send airships to support our operations before withdrawing its troops." Hearing this sentence, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
They did not take everyone with them on this mission. More than 30 logistics personnel and more than 20 soldiers stayed at the camp site.
With ten power armors, thirty sets of exoskeletons, and less than thirty bionic soldiers, it is still difficult to kill a mutant tribe that is more than ten times their size without heavy fire support. .
Even if they win, they will suffer a lot of casualties. The mutants in the desert don't just use iron pipe rifles. These beasts have mastered semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapons through transactions with the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom.
Not to mention that they are armed with scraps and junk from the pre-war era and DIY weapons. Those things may seem unreliable, but if you underestimate them, you will suffer big losses.
For example, a mutant they had seen before, armed with a melt ray gun made from the head and spine of the "Pioneer" robot, even killed one of their powered armors with a sneak attack.
These unexpected attack methods make it difficult to guard against. Hearing that the alliance's support was on the way, Su Ming said excitedly, "That 400mm heavy artillery." Yun Song nodded.
"Yes... including ground troops and those unreliable gliders, but we need to confirm that there are no of us in the camp before we can decide whether to use an ax or a scalpel." As he said, he looked To the drone operator standing behind the team. "I'll leave the investigation to you." "Copy that."
A man with a steady expression made a gesture, tapped his fist on his shoulder, and the drone backpack behind him popped open the hatch. A four-rotor drone flew out like a crossbow, carrying a burst of The whistling sound of "Woo" rose into the sky. The screen was connected to the helmet's tactical eyepiece.
Although the signal is very poor, it can barely be used. Under the control of the drone operator, the quadcopter drone carefully avoided the sight of the mutant sentries, moved to the side of the building, passed through the rows of twisted steel bars and concrete debris, and flew to the mutant tribe. above. The entire tribe is located in an abandoned factory.
The shacks cobbled together from **** merged with the half-collapsed factory buildings. Large iron sheds and dried animal skins blocked the twisted alleys. However, through the gaps in the shield, one can still see coal-like bodies, bloodthirsty fangs and knotted muscles, just like the orcs in fantasy movies.
What is chilling is that these animals that feed on fur and drink blood actually imitated humans and developed cities, and even clarified the division of labor in society...
There are residential areas that reek of excrement, gladiatorial arenas where violence is unleashed and fun for mutants, blacksmith departments and tool workshops filled with the sound of forging, plantations where unknown fruits are grown, and There are pastures where various livestock are kept
Looking down at this huge tribe through the drone's lens, the drone operator only felt his scalp numb.
Especially when he found the same kind imprisoned in a cage in the garbage dump-like ending, anger rushed to his forehead. "Damn!!!" "What's wrong?" Hearing his low curse, Yun Song cast a questioning look at him.
The drone operator did not speak, but stretched out his index finger to swipe in the air, and transferred the picture he saw to his teammates who were looking at him. Drone footage zooms in.
In iron baskets made of rows of steel bars, there were bodies covered with scars and missing parts.
Most people with full bellies are considered "lucky". Mutants usually don't eat them, but those who fail to bear children for them are in misery. Many of them were tortured so much that their arms and legs were removed, and their wounds were rotting and infested with maggots.
Mutants themselves have extremely strong resilience and do not need bandages or anti-inflammatory drugs at all. Naturally, they will not bandage animals that have not eaten. Many people were sitting on the ground with their eyes blank, not even having the strength to drive away the mosquitoes and flies surrounding them. Some people were motionless, wondering if they were dead. On the chopping board not far away, a mutant priest with bare arms was using a primitive and rude method to deliver a baby to a human handcuffed to the chopping board. They don't care if those people die in the process
Disciples of Chaos are not picky eaters; their stomachs are as strong as their muscles and bones.
Those slaves who were kept as livestock may come from the Falcon Kingdom, or from the Honeybush or the Lion, or even were sent from further afield by slave traders... Very few people will pay attention to those slaves in the falcon kingdom. Where did the people who disappeared in the war end up?
Even though he had seen many hellish scenes during the march in the wasteland, Su Ming's face could not help but turn slightly pale. This is much more cruel than those well-behaved predators. The soldier not far from him couldn't help but retched. "These beasts!" Gu Wei tightened his grip on the heavy machine gun in his hand, wishing he could rush in and shoot them all. "They are beasts to begin with. When do you think they are not anymore?"
Yunsong expressionlessly operated on the holographic window, selecting parts of the camp and marking places where there might be living people. After doing all this, he signaled the signal soldiers to set up a signal enhancement device, roughly pointing it in the direction of the Heart of Steel.
"This is the 26th Commando. We have confirmed the location of the Blackstone mutant tribe. The number of mutants is around two thousand, which is the same as the intelligence." "Survivors were found in the tribe... We can't get any closer. , not sure if there are any of our people inside, I hope not." After a burst of electric white noise. The answering voice came from the other end of the communication channel.
"Received... We have half an hour to arrive. If it's convenient, please help us lead them to an open area.
Yunsong turned his attention to two abandoned buildings close to each other not far away - the "ground worm" was passing through there. That's a nice location. Either as an artillery landing point.
It is still used as a grave for those beasts. "Received, give it to us."
After ending the communication, he waved to the soldiers behind him. "Get ready to work.""......
At the same time, dozens of kilometers away on the edge of the desert, a huge steel airship was slowly pushing away from the edge of the rolling yellow sand, heading towards the endless ruins.
When Chu Guang first entered Luoxia Province, he was shocked by the endless yellow sand and rolling clouds. So the shock in his heart at this moment can be said to be no less than at that time.
Even worse
"It's unbelievable... was this a city before?" Chu Guang, standing in the bridge, looked down at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a look of surprise on his face. The 100-meter-wide highway extends straight forward, blending with the tall buildings on the horizon. Even if you stand on an airship thousands of meters above the ground, you can't see the end at a glance. The land is divided into countless grids by intertwined roads and track debris, half of which is densely packed buildings, and the other half is endless desert. Maybe it will take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, for this land to completely transform into the shape of Luoxia Province... Standing next to Chu Guang, Wu Changnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was not only shocked, but also... With a hint of melancholy.
...I heard that in the prosperous era, that is, two centuries ago, the Great Desert was not called the Great Desert, but the four industrial zones of the People's Federation. Chu Guang glanced at him and asked in confusion. "Four industrial divisions" "Yes."
Wu Changnian nodded, looking out the window as if he was lost in the memory of a certain video material. After a moment of pause, he slowly continued.
"!!! The Western Industrial Zone is the beginning of all industrial chains. It is responsible for the production of the most basic raw materials, as well as the rough processing of raw materials transported by the logistics network and space elevators, such as synthetic chemicals, catalysts, alloys, etc. "
"The Northern Industrial Zone is a logistics and warehousing center, responsible for the storage of logistics surplus, the distribution of finished products, and the transfer of intermediate products and waste materials. It has the highest density of transportation in the prosperous era, whether it is trackless transportation or rail Transportation!!! In theory, as long as you choose the right transportation, you can get there directly from any corner of the planet, and it also has the highest density of office buildings
"The Eastern Industrial Zone is the end of the industrial chain. The large, efficient and intensive industrial chain is responsible for processing or assembling raw materials and intermediate products into final products." "As for the Southern Industrial Zone, it is mainly an energy hub. It is Like a large charging plug, its function is to receive the energy produced by the power generation facilities in outer space." "With the addition of the space elevator, the four industrial zones surrounding the space elevator form a complete closed loop of the industrial chain." Chu Guang said in surprise.
"Build an industrial center in the middle of the mainland"
For him from another world, this sounds a bit counterintuitive.
After all, in his hometown, industrial areas are mostly concentrated in the east, especially in the coastal areas. There are fewer industrial centers in the inland west and their distribution is relatively sparse. But here it seems to be a completely different story. Wu Changnian nodded and continued.
"Yes, there are stable climate conditions here, far away from the junction of continental plates, there are no active earthquakes and volcanic activities, and unlike the sea or coast, typhoons blow from time to time... There is no better place to build a space elevator than here. It’s the base address.”
As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but contain a hint of emotion. "At first it was just an elevator. Later, the dense transportation network began to extend to low-Earth orbit, and gradually turned into a tower, a mountain, and even a larger mountain. Endless and rich resources poured from space to the surface, and their abundance was astonishing... ...The prosperity of that era is difficult to imagine in this era. Even the ideal city only restored the tip of the iceberg.'
Wu Changnian also heard that in the original plan, the People's Federation planned to use the space elevator as the center to radiate the city cluster to every corner of the Central Continent in another two centuries. Use the energy and alloys obtained from space mining to build the entire planet into a world
Udu City.
That blueprint is a collection of everyone's dreams throughout the prosperous era, a personal ideal. Ambition and imagination will extend infinitely on this infinitely prosperous planet, and use it as a starting point to spread to more distant galaxies.
But it is a pity that a war that lasted only three years made all dreams come to nothing. While Wu Changnian was remembering the past, Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, had not yet recovered from the huge blueprint.
Although something that could be seen with the naked eye was not bragging, he still couldn't figure out how this huge industrial center was placed in the middle of the continent. "Where does industrial water come from?"
Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his focus to be here, and then he said with a smile. "Isn't there an underground ocean current pipeline? What do you think the Great Rift Valley was used to do before?" Chu Guang suddenly came back to his senses.
He seemed to have heard vaguely before that the Great Rift Valley existed to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to achieve this was to electrolyze seawater. As for by-products such as surplus chlorine, sodium and various metal elements precipitated from seawater, they will be packaged and sent to the industrial zone for processing. It turned out that the underground ocean current pipeline was not only built for the Great Rift Valley, but also for the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the continent. The power of that era was actually more terrifying than he imagined!!! Chu Guang was shocked, I can’t help but feel my scalp numb for a while
Especially when I think of those fakes I pretended to be at the beginning, and those "cakes" I drew for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors... How the **** can we return to the greatness of the Prosperous Era? Mobilizing 7 billion players is not enough!
What's more, it is obvious that the morphological formation field cannot hold so many people... Otherwise, there is no reason for the first-generation managers to set up many rules and "issue activation codes" to him in a planned way. I don't know what Chu Guang is thinking at this moment, Wu Changnian Hehe smiled and continued.
"Of course, the solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve and will not be used normally. The main supply of industrial water is the southern industrial zone. It is not only an energy hub, but also responsible for seawater desalination and sewage recycling. ...I’m not too professional to understand. I just got a rough idea from the database. If you want to have a deeper understanding of how the entire system works, you have to ask experts in this field.
"In short, the four major industrial zones account for more than 60% of the People's Federation's GDP, and the peak is said to have reached 70%." "So remember it, no one knows what will be in Vault 0 , we'd better be careful and arrange the candidates carefully." Listening to that cautious tone, Chu Guang also nodded seriously. "I will arrange for a shelter resident with outstanding sensory abilities. Wu Changnian nodded approvingly." That's the best. "
He has heard about the number of awakened people per capita in Vault 404.
Although he believes in Al and machines more than unstable biological factors such as awakening, in previous wars, the Alliance has proven that people are not inferior to machines under certain circumstances, and can even create things that machines cannot reach. A miracle, bringing two more reliable masters is never a bad thing.
And this is why he was able to convince the enterprise and the legion to help the alliance, which had "no experience in excavation of ruins," win two places. There is only one access card.
According to the description of the employee named Luo Hua, the elevator they found that leads to Shelter 0 is not very big, and the number of people who can go down at one time is limited...
At this moment, the bridge door opened.
Vanus walked in from the outside, gave a military salute, and said neatly.
" News came from the 26th Commando of the Enterprise. They have confirmed the coordinates of the Blackstone Mutant Tribe, but they are not sure whether there are enterprise employees among the slaves imprisoned by the mutants. "If you cannot determine whether it exists, then it will exist by default. " Turning to look at Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, "Do you have a new battle plan?" Vanus nodded.
"The battle plan is a frontal attack. We have informed the 26th Commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour. They intend to launch an attack in half an hour and lure enemy units to their recommended artillery coordinates."
"Very good, just follow this plan," Chu Guang nodded, and after a moment of pause, he continued to order, "Let the airship's artillery positions prepare for firepower, and at the same time have the Burning Corps on standby below the deck, ready to support our Allies."
"Yes!" With a neat military salute, Vanus turned and walked out of the bridge. Looking away from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with grateful eyes. "Thank you for your attention to our employees." Chu Guang said with a faint smile.
"You're welcome, the crew of the Pioneer are not only our friends, they are also kind to us."
Without that epoch-making machine tool, subsequent industrialization would not have progressed so smoothly. No matter how big the imaginations of young players are, they still have to have something to turn their ideas into reality.
Although it was a deal where everyone gets what he needs, he knew very well that the other party actually took care of them, otherwise he would not have acquiesced to them so much wool. When he parted with Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would remember this favor, and now was the time to return the favor. ...But then again, was that person from Weiland just now?" Wu Changnian suddenly said as if he thought of something. "Well, yes. ”
Seeing Chu Guang's reaction was so bland, Wu Changnian couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay?"
He had just reminded the young leader that he must be careful with every Wilantian. Looking at the slightly concerned look, Chu Guang said nonchalantly, "He stayed voluntarily."
Before going to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang had discussed this issue with Vanus. If he felt embarrassed to fight with the Legion, he could stay in Qingquan City. He would not force anyone to participate in a war that he did not want to participate in. .
Objectively speaking, Vanus's training of officers for the alliance and his contribution to the alliance's command system in the early stages of its business are enough to repay his "debt". After the war is over, he can be returned to his hometown as a prisoner of war exchange like other prisoners of war, and no one will know that he has served the Union.
However, after hearing his proposal, Vanus not only decisively rejected this only opportunity to go home, but even stood openly in front of Finold and McClun, the two prisoners who were destined to be exchanged back. , to show their loyalty to the alliance.
The reason he gave made Chu Guang silent for a long time.
"!!!! I spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war, but we seemed to get nothing except hatred and death. My troops were wiped out in the south for no reason. The commander and his men were wiped out in the north. At the moment of failure, I didn’t have any regrets, but instead felt a little relieved."
”I don’t think His Majesty the Marshal is wrong, nor do I think General Klass is stupid. Maybe if we continue to follow their path, we can really lead to a better future, but we don’t understand it at the moment. ."
"As General Klaas often said, we are extremely vicious criminals. All of us will be nailed to the pillar of shame by future generations for reflection, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast and boundless world. A world. In that world, there are only Weilant people, and the Weilant people will not hate the Weilant people. The tragedies that happened before... whether it was two hundred years ago or in the more distant past, will never happen again. ”
"But in you, I see another possibility that we have never imagined. Maybe there is a unity in this world that transcends blood... Just like Yu said, we are all survivors, no matter it is The residents of the shelter are still the wastelanders outside. It’s not one of us that should be eliminated, but the barbarism raging in the wasteland.”
"War is a job for me, and unfortunately it's the only thing I can do. But if it makes even the slightest sense to you, let me follow you Keep moving forward."
At the same time, on the lower deck, the flashing signal lights had already conveyed the battle order.
A player who is eager to try has already put on the exoskeleton, picked up the most elite equipment, and brought plenty of ammunition. This time I went to pick up an old friend and take him home.
And it was an open military operation under the joint gaze of the three forces: the legion, the enterprise, and the academy.
Everyone is ready to show off in front of those old guys and show the new Governor of the Velant people whether they lost unjustly or not. "Brothers! This time the opponent They're mutants! Back on Street 76, our friends from the East Coast took advantage of us. It's our turn to take them out this time." He walked up to a group of good brothers.
Lao Bai, who was wearing dragoon power armor, glanced around at his imposing brothers and spoke loudly with a loud voice. "There is only one purpose of action -" "Leave no one behind"
A deafening shout came from the hatch leading to the deck, and even the gold floor shook violently under the burning fighting spirit. "Oh oh oh" "Kill all those beasts"
