This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 741: The daily life of the chief “mascot” of the coalition forces


www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!

"Five...five million?! Silver coins?!"

Scientific expedition team, Prosperous Era relic recovery registration office.

A sudden scream floated out from the closed reception room, disturbing everyone who was queuing up with numbers.

People craned their necks to look in the direction of the reception room, with expressions of envy and even greed on their faces.

No need to ask, they can all guess what happened in that small room. After all, they are "hunters" who specialize in this business.

A long time ago, the Alliance's scientific expedition team opened channels for paid recovery of relics from the Prosperity Era.

Now, "archeology" has developed into a mature industry chain in the alliance.

Some people are responsible for registration, some are responsible for appraisal, some are responsible for valuation and acquisition, and some are responsible for cheating and picking up leaks.

For scavengers who have found treasures, if they choose the recycling channel of the scientific expedition group, they only need to bring the things over to fill out a form, and then wait patiently for up to 7 working days to get the identification results and the final decision. Just shake your head or nod.

For customers who do not want to sell, the scientific expedition team will not force them, and they can take away the things they bring.

However, since the prices offered by those researchers have always been very good, most people will readily sign.

Many scavengers even come here from the eastern provinces and even the territory of the Science and Technology Commission to trade treasures. After all, the reputation of the alliance is obvious to all wastelanders.

If you are lucky, a well-preserved relic from the Prosperity Era can be sold for a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.

Even if the scientific expedition team doesn't take a fancy to it, people from the museum or Camp 101 may still pick it up, and some blue jackets from Vault 404 may also be collected.

For example, the big boss who runs Goblin Technology often spends a lot of money to buy things that seem to be of no use but are actually useless and take them back to tinker with.

Many scavengers even make a living from this.

Many of the mercenary groups in Boulder City in the past also switched to this job after the inner city collapsed.

Occasionally, they will cooperate with the blue jackets in Vault 404 to open up some distant ruins.

But the recycling price is seven figures...

Even the big guys who make a living by picking up trash haven’t heard it for a while.

Everyone whispered among themselves, guessing what treasure the lucky guy had picked up.

"I guess I picked up a spaceship or something."

"I guess it's a Titan!"

"It's not like... if that thing really existed, the people in the academy would have picked it up eight lifetimes ago."

"I guess I found this treasure from some deserted corner."

"That's right...except for places like that, even if there were good things, they were probably dragged away by people from the War and Construction Committee."

Theoretically, the War Construction Committee has the most complete information, and the people who know best where to find good things in the wasteland are in that organization.

In the era of the Big Three, the college "inherited" the archaeological clues of the Zhan Construction Committee, and scraped away the areas that the Zhan Construction Committee had not been able to clean up for half a century, and it lasted for a century and a half.

One can only imagine how many real treasures are left in this wasteland.

While everyone was talking about it, in the reception room with the door closed, a man with tanned skin and rosy skin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Five million silver coins!

When he heard this number, Ma Jinwei thought his ears were broken.

But the researcher didn't look like he was joking and handed him a stamped list.

"Of course it's silver coins. If you want other currencies, I can apply to my superiors."

"No, no need, just silver coins!"

Ma Jinwei smiled honestly and honestly.

The reason why he smiled like this was not because of how honest he was, but simply because he had never seen so much money in his life, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make.

More than half a month ago, he was still farming in Mafu Town, but he didn't expect that the iron lump in the old warehouse could make him such a big fortune.

He only remembered that his grandfather had towed it from the city more than 100 kilometers away. He originally planned to repair the thing and use it as a tractor, but after pondering for a long time he could not figure out how to start the tractor, so he threw it away. The warehouse was full of dust.

It wasn’t until recently that the Sticky Community declared war on the Torch, and when he saw the letter sent back by the mayor, he remembered that he could drag this thing out to exchange for money. So he hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind to rent a train car and take this thing out. The stuff was shipped to Dawn City to try its luck.

He vaguely remembered that when the loading and unloading crane was used to load this thing onto the train at Groom Town Station, the staff from Dawn City looked at him with strange expressions.

It was almost like looking at a monster.

After checking the amount on the card, Ma Jinwei immediately put his fingerprints on the list, and even wanted to give some to the two researchers who were helping with the work, but the latter were shocked and refused with his hands waving in confusion. .

The funding and treatment of the scientific expedition team can be said to be the highest in the entire alliance.

Although their treatment is not as exaggerated as seven figures, they basically have enough food and clothing, and there is no need to risk being targeted by the Guards for a small amount of money that "cannot change their lives." risks.

What's more, most of them did not join the scientific expedition team for money, but to fulfill the ideal of ending the Wasteland Era described to them by the managers.

In the wasteland, everyone who possesses the knowledge or skills of the Prosperous Era has some nostalgia and yearning for that great era in their hearts.

"...Friend, please don't use this kind of thing to test us. Besides, we are only on duty here to register. Appraisal and valuation are handled by people in different systems. Even if you give us a gift, it will still be the same." It’s useless.”

Ma Jinwei actually didn't understand the researcher's dumbfounding refusal.

After all, there are not so many complicated doorways and weird businesses in Groom Town.

Seeing that they refused to accept any "filial piety", he could only rub the back of his head and try to smooth things over with an embarrassed smile.

"This, this is it...haha, thank you for your hard work."

The researcher said with a smile.

"It's not hard work. We have our own performance. In two months, we will be transferred to other departments to do research work. If you find anything else, you can still come to this office."

"Okay! If there is another time, I will definitely come over! Thank you, I'll go then." Ma Jinwei was smiling with his hands nowhere to rest, nodding his head and walking towards the door.

When he returns to town, he may be able to use the money to open a hotel.

However, it seems that there is no need to go to Mafu Town. The place called "Kun Town" is obviously more lively.

Many guests who got off the bus at Mafu Town recently went there. He also heard that the Alliance was going to build a Weifu City there, just like the Luoye City in the northwest.

Maybe he could take the money and try his luck there.

After all, it is still too difficult to make a fortune from farming.

Of course, before that, he had to have some fun with his good buddies in the town.

He promised that if he really got the money, he would treat them to a drink...

"You walk slowly, by the way...go this way."

Seeing that he was about to go out through the front door, the researcher thought of something and pulled him to the back door that led directly to the safe corridor.

This guy just shouted loudly, I'm afraid everyone outside will know that he has 5 million in his pocket.

Although there is no need to worry within the territory of the Alliance, it is difficult to say in the wasteland.

Ma Jinwei was stunned for a moment, then understood. He smiled and nodded his thanks, and then walked out of the back door in three steps.

The office became quiet.

The researcher who was sitting in front of the computer and remained silent glanced at the person standing.

"Is 5 million too much?"

He always had a feeling that even if he gave that guy 50 million, he might have to throw it all away. It would be better to let the money disappear in a slightly more meaningful way.

Perhaps they should open a money management fund and market it to those lucky people who "make money purely by luck".

For this reason, he also made this suggestion to his superiors, but it was a pity that such a meaningful suggestion was rejected by his superiors.

The researcher responsible for receiving customers was thinking about other things and answered with a smile.

"It's not much, Meissner effect armor... If you can get that thing, adding two zeros will be considered cheap."

Whether it is in terms of economic value or military value, this thing is definitely worth so much money.

At present, the alliance has mastered two shield technologies, but both deflector shields and nitrogen shields have their own weaknesses.

For example, the former is not good at dealing with low-speed, guided weapons, and because the technical principle is realized by driving gravitons, and this technology is also new in the era of the Prosperity Era, it consumes a lot of energy.

As for the latter, it is not good at dealing with high-speed and high-energy particle rays, and can only be used in standard atmospheric environments.

Meissner effect armor is different from these two. Its characteristic is to specifically restrain metal weapons. Since most hard armor-piercing weapons use alloy materials, especially the electromagnetic guns that were widely used during the Prosperity Era, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the nemesis of "hard-core armor-piercing bullets".

To use a simple metaphor, assuming that the deflector shield and the Meissner effect armor use the same capacitor and energy supply device, the former can block 1~2 electromagnetic gun shots, and the latter can Block 3~4 rounds.

It is said that during the three-year war, some captains of the People's Federation, under special circumstances, even considered turning off the deflector shield and activating the Meissner effect armor with higher defense efficiency to fight against the rebel fleet through mass launchers Create a dense firepower network to increase the fleet's overall resistance to metal warheads.

If used properly, this may become a technology that can affect the direction of war.

Judging from the limited information, companies may not have mastered this technology.

The researcher sitting in front of the computer turned the pen in his hand and made a helpless expression.

"That makes sense...but I just think that giving him this money is meaningless. As you can see, he is not worthy of so much wealth. In other words, this thing is worth so much money, But whoever finds it doesn't deserve it at all."

If it were a resident of Vault 404, he might not have any objections.

After all, those guys were really exchanging their lives for rewards, and they went to the most dangerous places in the wasteland, unlike that confused farmer who made a fortune just because of good luck.

After hearing what he said, the researcher responsible for receiving customers smiled.

"Meaning, my friend, don't say that. 'Meaning' is the thing that cannot withstand scrutiny. If you have to think about whether it is meaningful when doing anything, then the final result must be that everything is meaningless. It’s meaningless.”

The researcher sitting in front of the computer looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

He walked to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup of coffee. The researcher in charge of receiving customers said slowly.

"It means that the close relative of the pragmatist is the nihilist. After all, people's likes and dislikes are ever-changing. If you feel that they are not worthy today, you will feel that they are not worthy tomorrow, so we have to set an absolute We should not make vague rules and ensure that they are implemented impartially. Even if one day this rule becomes obsolete, we must change it after full discussion...not based on your or my evaluation."

This is Mr. Yin Fang’s speech at the third internal meeting of the scientific expedition team.

That big guy is indeed a high-level talent from the academy. He is very good at both academic and management work. I heard that he built the entire alliance's scientific research/archaeological system with his own hands.

To be honest, he really admired that Yin Fang, especially after learning about that guy's legendary experience.

The researcher sitting in front of the computer shrugged his shoulders, reached out and clicked on the screen out of boredom, and selected the next lucky person on the list.

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing. I just want to finish the work here as soon as possible and go to the laboratory to do something meaningful."

The researcher holding the coffee said with a smile.

"The scores for the administrative positions must be completed. This is also to familiarize you with the business processes of the scientific expedition team. I have one month left, and you only have three months left. Just endure it a little longer."

……

Weifu Military Base.

In the office of the supreme commander of the coalition forces, Chu Guang called Yin Fang again through the shelter line constructed by the Southern Construction Corps, and listened to the latter report the entire incident.

After learning about what happened, his mood was probably the same as when he was playing "Civilization 6" and saw "Eureka", a tribe of primitive people who shared the "Doomsday Mecha" technology with him, and was confused. It feels a little bit reasonable.

After calming down, he asked immediately.

"Where was this thing found?"

Can guess what Chu Guang is concerned about, Yin Fang smiled understandingly and said.

"Don't worry, I have arranged for your 'wanjia' to go investigate near that coordinate."

Chu Guang nodded when he heard this, with a smile on his face.

It seems that Yin Fang has mastered the player's usage skills proficiently, and this guy no longer needs his own personal guidance.

But soon he became curious again about what the "nearly complete" Prowler tank looked like.

If he hadn't just arrived at the front line a few days ago, he would have really wanted to get on the airship immediately and go back to see for himself the war weapons of the Prosperity Era.

Seeing Chu Guang's impatient expression, Yin Fang took a sip of coffee and continued with a smile.

"...To be honest, I didn't expect that the viscous body you made could actually get such an interesting thing...a Prowler tank equipped with Meissner effect armor. This thing is better than powered armor." It is much rarer. The People's Federation has only built a few units in total. The inventory with production numbers was recycled by the War and Construction Committee more than a century ago. It is estimated that only the Legion and the Great Rift Valley can see it."

Chu Guang asked curiously.

"Isn't there one in the academy?"

Yin Fang shook his head.

"In my impression, they did not get a complete Prowler tank. But with their technical reserves, it is not difficult to reproduce the Meissner effect armor. But you also know that Helium III resources There is such a shortage, so in my impression, only some research ships of senior researchers are equipped with similar defense functions."

When he said this, Yin Fang's voice had a meaningful tone, quite a bit of advice in it.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words.

Indeed.

Helium 3 is a big problem.

Even in the Age of Prosperity, there are still a large number of untapped mineral deposits on the earth. There are even "garbage mines" unique to the Wasteland Era, as well as "seabed mineral deposits" that were classified as ecological reserves in the pre-war era and were prohibited from mining. etc.

However, helium-3 is brought by the solar wind, and the earth's reserves protected by the magnetic field and atmosphere are very small. If you want to get it, you either have to go to the moon, or you have to go to a place like Mercury, or you have to dig old graves from the Age of Prosperity.

It is precisely because of the particularity of helium-3 resources that the "managers" in the wasteland have to face a special trouble——

That is, whether to use the advanced technology of the Prosperity Era.

The Alliance has been using wood generators for a while. That thing is obviously not as good as a nuclear fusion reactor, but it is still quite convenient compared to solar power generation that requires energy storage equipment. Moreover, the most indispensable thing in Qingquan City at that time was wood, and it was quite convenient to obtain fuel. They even installed the same generator on the truck.

However, there is a fatal problem.

Limited by various factors such as the magnitude of energy and the efficiency of obtaining it, wood-burning generators can only support the technology of the middle and late atomic energy age at best, let alone the black technology of the Prosperity Era, and cannot even support it. Propeller planes took to the sky.

If the alliance had always used traditional energy, I am afraid that it would still be competing with Boulder City for survival resources, and it would not have developed as much as it did later.

But if more advanced energy sources are used, another risk will be borne, which is the unsustainability of helium-3 resources.

As for how to use the limited helium-3 resources at hand, companies, colleges, and legions have all adopted completely different approaches.

The same goes for alliances.

When Chu Guang makes every decision, in addition to weighing the pros and cons of a single field such as politics, economy, military, technology, production, culture, etc., he must also carefully consider the strategic reserves of the alliance from an overall perspective. Whether it can be supported.

For example, power armor, as individual soldier equipment, consumes relatively few helium-3 resources. One battery can even be used until the armor is scrapped. Therefore, with the alliance's nuclear energy resource reserves, it is more than enough to maintain a staff of several hundred powered armors.

But if these hundreds of "Xia Guang" powered armors are equipped with deflector shields or Meissner effect armor, the resource of one thousand cubic meters of helium 3 will be stretched instantly.

Investing too many strategic resources in the military may even affect the supply of fusion reactors in Xizhou City, which is related to the stability of all production and living facilities in the entire alliance.

Therefore, he would rather accept expensive equipment such as power armor to be scrapped in battle, rather than pile up energy-costly shields on these non-strategic weapons. At most, he would approve a few experimental models to test the feasibility of the technical route. .

After all, in most cases, even if these equipment are completely scrapped and cannot be repaired, the fusion batteries inside can be recycled, and the only loss is some money.

This is also the most practical reason why deflector shields and nitrogen shields are difficult to install on a large scale.

Chu Guangneng could hear Yin Fang’s reminder to him in that sentence. Even with the energy reserves of the college, he was more inclined to seal this technology instead of installing it on a large scale into the army for improvement. combat capability.

As for the Legion, it is even more straightforward. We simply don’t reversely dismantle the treasures in our hands. We just use whatever we have. When we’re done with it, we use “wild boars” and “bisons” which are self-produced and self-developed “genuine antiques” or “real antiques”. Hybrid Antique”.

The longer time passes and the further the world moves away from the era of prosperity, the more obvious the advantages of those Willant people who have adapted to the wasteland in advance become.

After all, with the current situation in outer space, it is almost impossible to restore Earth-to-Moon flights, and the legacy of the Prosperous Era is destined to be exhausted one day.

"...It's such a pity that such an interesting technology can't be put to use." Chu Guang sighed, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

Although the equipment at the tactical level cannot be used, you can try the equipment at the strategic level.

From what Yin Fang said before, this thing is simply the nemesis of the electromagnetic gun.

Wasn’t the Confederate Alliance on the southern front just suppressed by the "cannons" of the Northern Confederate battleships?

If you put a shield on the friendly fleet, I wonder if you can regain some advantage.

However, rather than deciding the outcome at sea, his players seem to place more hope on the "submersible aircraft carrier" under construction.

Chu Guang secretly thought that he might give this card to Fang Chang and the others to play, no matter whether it would be useful in the end.

Mistakenly thinking that Chu Guang was feeling lost, Yin Fang then comforted him and said.

"Actually, if you think about it from another angle, the real value of this thing may not be all on the battlefield. The technology we can recover from it is far more than just the 'superconducting shield', but also includes energy, materials, information processing and other fields. There are more than thirty sub-technologies in total. Especially superconducting materials and high-performance capacitors under certain conditions, most of which are not open to us by our allies."

The college and the alliance have reached a scientific research cooperation agreement, and the company has also launched multiple cooperations with the alliance in the field of production. However, the technical exchange between the two parties has not reached an unhindered level.

Especially these key technologies.

They also spent a lot of money to get it, and it is impossible to open it to outsiders due to emotions and reasons.

Hearing the comforting voice on the other end of the phone, Chu Guang leaned back on his chair and said with a smile.

"This aspect is beyond my ability, so I will trouble you more."

Scientific research is probably the only area where it is difficult for him to get help from reality.

In fact, very early on, he tried to introduce some truly capable young scholars from the original world and observed their gaming behavior.

Including Professor Guangfeng from Nanda who first entered the game, [Lone Wolf of the End of the World] who followed later, and [Grogda] who worked under a certain academician, etc.

They are different from half-baked engineers like mosquitoes. They are real researchers. They not only have strong receptivity, but also have rich front-line work experience.

However, due to the large generation gap in basic theories and differences in professional terms and terminology, many things in this game are no different to "game settings" or even "magic" for them, so their progress has been slow. It's very slow, and most of the time it's considered with a doubtful attitude.

Weighing the immeasurable risks and extremely limited benefits, Chu Guang ultimately did not interfere with their game process and only maintained limited observation.

However, judging from Xiaoqi's continuous observation of multiple samples, they may not be able to reach the stage of completing a generation of controllable nuclear fusion technology until they die, and it will be difficult to make further progress.

As for the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion, for the basis of the "real world", it is equivalent to a singularity above the singularity. Even research on it is probably in vain.

And that's if he doesn't cause trouble.

If he really wants to cause trouble, even if he just uses the authority of Dog Planner to "secretly change" a parameter or a formula, it will make them work in vain for several years, and they may even have no regard for the technical ideas in "Wasteland OL". hope.

After all, in the eyes of a small number of "informed people", "Wasteland OL", which has too many "irrational" things, is equivalent to an olive branch thrown by extraterrestrial civilization.

If a "higher civilization" that "does not show any malicious intent" believes that a certain technical route is undesirable, then from the standpoint of a "junior", it is naturally more rational to choose other technical routes to try. s Choice.

"...You're too polite. This is my job. If I don't show some real skills, how can I be worthy of the coffee machines you gave me?"

Yin Fang replied in a teasing tone, then suddenly remembered something again, and then spoke.

"By the way, one more thing. The Southern Alliance wants us to set up a branch of the scientific expedition team in the ring island and Coral City. In fact, the conditions they offer are good, and the education there is You know the rate well and can bring some fresh blood to our scientific expedition team."

Chu Guang hesitated.

"Have they taken Coral City back?"

Yin Fang on the holographic screen made a helpless expression.

"Obviously they are still fighting for it. I guess they want to use your power...but to be honest, I'm not very good at these things, so it's up to you to decide."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang spoke.

"If you think the cooperation plan they offer is sincere, I think it is acceptable. As for Coral City, I will let the players active there think of a way."

He has taken over Vault 70 from Sun Yuechi. The islands of the Southern Alliance are also accepting of the alliance's governance methods and concepts. In the end, there is a high probability that they will end up like Boulder City and the survivors of the River Valley Province. The union may even be more thorough than that of Boulder City.

After all, they have the same origin, and the concept of equality is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about.

What's more, his little players may have been eyeing the Coral City under the sea for a long time, and they might not even need him to send a special mission to encourage it.

After receiving Chu Guang’s permission, Yin Fang showed a happy smile on his face.

"Okay, that's such a happy decision."

After saying the last thing, Yin Fang hung up the phone and continued to do his own research.

Chu Guang, who was leaning on the chair, planned to rest for a while, but before Ibers' "daughter" X-16 could make the tea, the college's Alpha Task Force called again.

"...We plan to launch an offensive on Blood Mountain tomorrow, and I would like to apply for coalition artillery support."

While speaking, the commander with a dull facial expression sent over the battle plan.

Chu Guang clicked on it and saw that there were dozens of G's. He felt a headache. So before clicking on the content, he sent it to Vanus with a swipe of his index finger.

"...No problem, I will let all ministries provide necessary support for your attack according to the action plan."

The commander nodded, politely left a "thank you", and simply hung up the phone.

Conversing with this guy was unexpectedly refreshing, and Chu Guang found that he had slightly changed his stereotype of the academy.

It seems that the Wandering Swamp is not full of people who like to beat around the bush.

But what’s embarrassing is that this guy’s sense of presence is a bit ridiculously low.

As the nominal supreme commander of the coalition forces, Chu Guang found that he couldn't remember the guy's name.

"...Xiao Qi, what is the name of the commander sent by the academy?"

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on his shoulder, retrieved the information in the database and quickly replied: "Hmm... Alpha Zero? That's the name in the record."

Alpha Zero?

Chu Guang, who was taking the black tea from the tray in X-16's hand, couldn't help being slightly stunned.

What surprised him was not the strange name, but that he had forgotten such a unique name.

Chu Guang took a sip of tea and muttered softly.

"It's really weird..."
