This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 447: One Hundred Years of Solitude
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
[Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, our operations in the center of Qingquan City have reached a stalemate. The soldiers fought bravely and our enemies suffered heavy losses. But unfortunately, we still have not been able to get close to the mother nest until now. 】
[Although the Prowler tank has excellent maneuverability and reliable armor, it needs to be overhauled every time it returns from duty, and the parts that need to be replaced cannot be found here. 】
[Especially our equipment has no advantage when faced with the siege of slime mold fruiting bodies. They fell in pieces and rushed up in groups... It was like a wave. Before we kill them all, I'm afraid we ourselves will be overwhelmed by stretched logistics. 】
[The most worrying thing is those "evolved bodies"... This is the name given by the technician who followed us into the city center. We found that some slime mold fruiting bodies have undergone secondary mutations based on mutations, and have even begun to imitate us, evolving structures similar to power armor and exoskeletons, and even eroding our drones and tanks. 】
[This is not my nonsense, I know it sounds incredible, but if we continue to treat them as beasts fighting with teeth and claws, or biochemical weapons delivered to the battlefield by the enemy, we may be paying a huge price A heavy price... In fact, our casualties are already heavy enough. 】
[Compared to advanced weapons, we need equipment that is easy to maintain and in sufficient quantity. Instead of using precious equipment and manpower to fill a front that is simply not enough, like now. 】
[Finally, some good news. The outer wall of the Boulder Building has been completed. The brothers in the production department are as reliable as ever. This magnificent project can at least shelter 100,000 people through the most difficult winter. The refugees in the south do not need to continue migrating north and can be resettled in the western suburbs of Qingquan City. At least our first phase goal has been completed. We will immediately launch the second phase of operations after a short rest. 】
[I heard that the technology department is looking for ways to eliminate slime mold at the genetic level. 】
[I have an idea here. Why not use those genes in the gene bank to "produce" a group of super soldiers who are not afraid of death? 】
[Even if they are of no use on the battlefield, they can at least help us move some things. Those androids and robots are too troublesome to maintain, and we may have to deploy an additional maintenance company. 】
[——Telegram from the front line (3), March 21, 2150. 】
Aboard the Heart of Steel.
Chu Guang, who was resting in the captain's cabin, was browsing the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" through the holographic computer.
This information was recovered by the players of the Death Corps and synchronized to the server of the shelter with the help of the mission's communication radio.
Looking at the players taking photos and uploading the information to the official website, he touched his chin thoughtfully and leaned back on his chair.
"The year 2150...should be the 21st year of the Wasteland Era."
He is very sensitive to numbers and remembers clearly that the first year of the Wasteland Era was 2129.
"But conquering the city center of Qingquan City in March...it would be unthinkable."
Spring is the period when the wave breaks out. At this time, the reproduction rate of mutant slime mold will reach its peak, and the density of spores in the air will also reach its peak.
Of course, this is looking at the issue from the perspective of a latecomer.
Perhaps the survivors at the time were not aware of the concept of waves, as this telegram indicates, and the postwar reconstruction committee underestimated the threat of those mutant slime molds.
And...
It should be nuclear winter then?
But these are not the point.
What worried Chu Guang even more was the last line of the telegram.
"...a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, are you referring to the Wilantes?"
Seeing this sentence, Chu Guang was puzzled.
Those big-nosed people are not as afraid of death as they thought...
Perhaps it was because of the average number of awakened players among the players, or perhaps because his attribute panel was outrageous enough. Anyway, he didn't feel how powerful those big noses were in combat.
Maybe it is stronger than ordinary people.
"Xiaoqi."
A high-energy voice soon reached my ears, and it was still a rare voice from a royal sister today.
"Here you are, Master."
After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang spoke.
"...retrieve all the information collected by the players of the Death Corps, not just the Valantians, I need all the information about the legion, the enterprise, and the academy."
"Good luck!"
Hearing the enthusiastic answer, Chu Guang waited for a moment. In less than a minute, Xiao Qi quickly completed the search for all the pictures.
Whether it is uploaded by players or saved in personal albums.
All information has been organized into categories in a text document, and a table of contents has been created for his convenience.
Although the players collected mostly fragmentary clues, they accidentally pieced together a lot of incredible information.
Just as he guessed.
The Vaillants are indeed a race created through genetic modification technology.
Although this project was initially opposed by the committee's technical department, the continued heavy casualties on the front line and the large amount of unprocessed work forced the committee's defense department to put pressure on the technical department.
In 2150, the 21st year of the Wasteland Era, taking the heavy casualties of "Operation Qingquan City" as an opportunity, the super soldier project called "Project Willante" was finally eliminated despite countless pressures from all parties. Passed.
The name of the Council's Defense Department, the predecessor of the Legion, is inextricably linked to the chaos a century and a half ago.
Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little curious. He followed the clues compiled by Xiao Qi and continued reading.
The 23 pairs of chromosomes of the Vaillant people were completely designed by genetic modification technology, and the material was extracted from an incomplete gene bank called "Vailant".
The first thousand Primarchs born did indeed possess extraordinary combat power.
While retaining their humanity, they possess almost beastly fighting instincts. Even without systematic training, they can still defeat more than five well-trained veterans in combat.
However, this is where it becomes useless.
Even on the battlefield after the Prosperous Era, there are still not many opportunities for unarmed combat.
Their strong bodies make them more suitable for participating in dangerous missions with the highest casualty rate. Although their super reflexes and motor abilities allow them to kill enemies more efficiently, their number is too small.
These super soldiers ultimately failed to play a big role on the battlefield, which also led to their further marginalization politically.
After several battles against mutated slime mold, the Valantians were individually organized into a rapid response brigade. Under the leadership of a young commander named Julius, the logistics requirements were relatively high. Lower cost equipment supports the regular army in battle.
The life of Julius is also full of legend. He was born almost in the same year as the "Velant Man Project", and because his father was a senior officer of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division of the People's Federation, from the records He received a military education since then.
As an "old human being", he almost grew up with the "new human beings", and fifteen years later, as a commander, he followed the new human beings on the battlefield against mutant slime mold.
Chu Guang used the search function to search for the name "Julius" and found that in documents with less than 500,000 words, this seemingly ordinary name unexpectedly appeared hundreds of times in the following text.
"...It seems that the marshal of the legion also has this name." Chu Guang vaguely remembered hearing Vanus mention the name of their marshal.
However, on the West Coast, few people will call that person by his first name, and they usually use the title Marshal.
"If the marshal of the legion is the same person as Julius in the literature, then this guy must have lived for at least one hundred and fifty years!"
Chu Guang smacked his tongue in slight surprise, unable to imagine what it felt like.
In "Stars", an officer who has lived for 150 years has reached the maximum level even if he is thrown into the "Patrol Fleet" and lives his life as a pirate.
His index finger continued to slide on the holographic screen, and he quickly turned down a page.
Skipping the lengthy description, time quickly came to the 41st year of the Wasteland Era.
The committee's efforts to eradicate slime mold are going very hard, and the endless cold winter has made the problems of scarce resources and low productivity even more serious.
Some climatologists even expressed despair that this planet may not be transforming into a "waste planet", but a "polar planet" with a more fragile ecosystem, and one-third of the land will eventually be destroyed. It will be buried under 240 meters of ice.
That war probably set the world back eighteen thousand years.
However, even so, ridding the planet of slime mold remains the top priority. Various research indications indicate that this "simple" organism is more cold-resistant than other native carbon-based organisms on the planet.
If this trouble cannot be solved before the situation worsens, the troubles in the future will exceed everyone's expectations.
So far, the survivors have not discovered the "self-limiting" nature of slime mold, but are simply afraid of monsters that cannot be cleared away even if they throw nuclear bombs.
If the survivors at that time knew that as long as they abandoned the urban areas of the People's Federation era and retreated to the suburbs with lower building density, they would enter a period of decline after the slime mold expanded to a certain extent. I'm afraid it wouldn't be that bad. What a hassle.
Of course, this is considered from the perspective of a latecomer. Many research results on slime mold were discovered during the war against slime mold.
In short, in order to reduce the loss of manpower, the defense department of the committee put forward further requirements based on the "Vailant Man Plan" - they needed a method that "can be mass-produced quickly and can be used on the battlefield." Clone troopers who make a difference.
They don’t have to be very powerful, or even have normal human minds, but they must complete the cycle from the assembly line to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.
Compared to the defense department in 21 Years of Wasteland Era, the defense department in 41 Years has obviously gradually moved to extremes.
The Post-War Reconstruction Committee held a meeting to discuss relevant legislation. The three major departments of production, defense, and technology all participated in this debate.
This meeting was documented as a "tripartite meeting."
This is also the second major disagreement that the Post-War Reconstruction Committee has encountered since its establishment.
The conflicts that have accumulated for a long time have reached their peak before the meeting begins, and the open debate meeting is more like a vent.
The defense department, which continues to suffer casualties, requires the production and technology departments to provide a "clone soldier that can play an adequate role on the battlefield" to replace the casualties of the People's Alliance soldiers.
From the standpoint of the Ministry of Defense, this is a completely reasonable request.
After all, their soldiers are not only responsible for maintaining security and order in the settlements, but are also responsible for protecting the technical department's prospectors from entering the ruins to recover the technology of the pre-war civilization.
The war has been over for 41 years, but their war has never ended. According to the twenty-year generation cycle, their sacrifices have even spanned two generations and affected at least four generations.
The technical department still expresses strong opposition as it did twenty years ago, claiming that this will not only bring technical risks such as "DNA contamination", but may also lead to the collapse of civilization.
This concern is not without reason.
The Wilantes, who were cultivated through genetic technology and do not have basic political rights, have become de facto "slave soldiers", and the history has reversed even to the slave society of the feudal period, which is older than the prosperous era.
This line of thinking was wrong from the beginning. They clearly have a better choice.
For example, robots and AI.
However, this proposal was opposed by the production department.
Without the support of a complete industrial chain, the cost of producing a sufficiently reliable robot is not a matter of several times or dozens of times, but a geometric increase.
The expensive production costs and maintenance costs are not affordable by today's "Post-War Reconstruction Committee".
Unless the expenditure on each survivor settlement is completely cut off, survivor settlements, including Boulder City, are allowed to fend for themselves.
Even so, the costs that can be saved are far from meeting the defense department's demand for manpower.
What's more, cutting the budget of each survivor settlement means that the post-war reconstruction committee will lose a huge manpower pool, which is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
In order to appease the Ministry of Technology and the Ministry of Defense, the Production Department put forward many compromise suggestions.
For example, the Weirant people can be given limited political rights, such as liberalizing reproductive rights, etc., and some Weirant people can be appropriately admitted into the big family of the People's Federation, as long as they can make outstanding achievements on the battlefield.
As for clones with higher yields, there is no need to limit their lives to the profession of cannon fodder. They can be allowed to freely enter factories or farmland to engage in resource production.
This kind of high-quality labor is not only needed by the defense sector, but also by the production sector.
This meeting did not produce any results in the end. Instead, it laid hidden dangers for the subsequent collapse of the post-war reconstruction committee.
The year after the tripartite meeting ended, in year 2171, which was the 42nd year of the Wasteland Era, the Vaillante Laboratory recovered by the college exploration team on the west coast became the fuse that ignited the powder keg.
The complete gene pool of the Wilant people is preserved there, as well as the "singularity" technology that was not completed before the end of the prosperous era - life cycle adjustable technology.
Led by General Julius, the rapid reaction brigade composed of Valantians occupied the laboratory and detained all the explorers of the Technology Department's exploration team.
In the face of strong protests and negotiations from the technical department, the Ministry of Defense only claimed that it was Julius’s personal behavior, and was extremely passive in arresting this “out-of-control senior officer” and even “accidentally” arrested him. The occupied laboratory sent fusion cells.
Obviously, they are trying to complete this research, or use some of the sub-technology in this research to create a clone army that can grow "eight times faster."
Objectively speaking, the people from the Ministry of Defense have shown considerable restraint. After all, they could obviously rob directly, but they still made up a lame excuse to show off.
The committee's control over various departments has declined to its lowest point, and the conflict between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Technology has reached its peak.
In Year 2172, Year 43 of the Wasteland Era, after several "unexpected" accidents, the Ministry of Technology completely lost trust in the Ministry of Defense.
Under the leadership of Dr. "Conclusion", the then Minister of Technology and Dean of the Academy, the Ministry of Technology transferred a large number of core technical personnel to the northern swamps in the name of exploring large-scale ruins, and within the framework of the pre-war academic organization "Academy" Next, prepare to build your own armed exploration force.
The Ministry of Defense is indifferent to this. Their focus has been shifting to the west of the desert, and the Triumph City and most military facilities on the west coast are actually under the control of the "out-of-control senior officer".
Although the committee's production department is low-key, it is also not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Even before the trigger of the tripartite meeting, they had been secretly giving priority to the construction of settlements on the east coast through methods such as tilting resources.
It was against this background that Ideal City was born.
Not only that, they even joined forces with the manager of Vault 6 and the then captain of the colonial ship to jointly promote the "Enterprise" plan, establish a regional "Supreme Council", and propose "Industrial Salvation" "The general line.
Perhaps in the view of the then Minister of Production, the colonists who stranded the colony ship on the surface in order to save their home planet, and the residents of Vault 6 who bravely opened the door to save more survivors , more trustworthy than those "colleagues" who are arguing at the negotiating table.
Although idealists can rarely produce visible results immediately, every advancement of civilization is inseparable from the exploration of idealists.
They decided to replace the committee and become explorers of a new era.
In 2173, the 44th year of the Wasteland Era, the second triggering incident occurred. The Production Department had a premonition that the collapse of the post-war reconstruction committee was inevitable, so it unilaterally announced the "Cloud Cloud" through the already full-fledged Ideal City. Provincial Restoration Act."
The bill stipulates the four strategic defense areas of Shanhai, Islands, Neihu, and Hekou in Yunjian Province, the three urban areas of Beiyun, Shangyun, and Xiayun, and the two industrial zones No. 1 and No. 2. The relics of pre-war civilization are jointly owned by all the survivor settlements in Yunjian Province.
This sounds like a very mild initiative and reasonable.
But in fact, it has an ulterior motive.
On the night when the bill was promulgated, more than a dozen armed forces set out from Ideal City in the name of the company and quickly took over all the research institutes of the committee's technical department on the east coast, as well as the relics of pre-war civilization that were under development.
A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides in some research facilities.
The college's armed forces have a short preparation time and are not strong in combat effectiveness. However, due to the investment of a large amount of high-tech equipment and AI-controlled war weapons, it still caused a lot of trouble to the company's troops.
Although the company still won in the end, it also resulted in the destruction of many research facilities.
For example, the experimental facility engaged in research on singularity technology-"Gestalt Life Form" was reduced to ashes in that conflict.
This result not only resulted in the complete loss of the original components of the "Gestalt Life Form" technology, but also caused some experimental subjects with unstable DNA to flee to the wasteland, some moving along the coastline, and some migrating toward the desert.
And these experimental subjects living in the wasteland were the later mutants.
Although this conflict was in the name of the company and Ideal City and did not involve the production department, the researchers in the technology department were not stupid.
Taking this incident as an opportunity, Dr. Conclusion immediately announced the dissolution of the technical department. Not only did he take over all the survivor settlements in Wandering Swamp in the name of the college, he also permanently cut off all technical support outside Wandering Swamp, and even Also deleted the database in the Rift Valley.
Especially the part about the coordinates of the ruins of pre-war civilization.
At this point, legions, companies, and colleges have entered the stage of history.
The Ministry of Defense, Production Department and Technology Department have completed the "asset transfer". Then one after another they threw away their historical baggage and happily announced their dissolution.
With the loss of three important departments, the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, which has been running for 44 years, has ceased to exist in name only and is unable to support the settlements of survivors everywhere.
In year 2174, it is the 45th year of the Wasteland Era.
Facing an empty conference table, the Post-War Reconstruction Committee finally reached the final step - officially announcing its dissolution.
From now on, settlements no longer need to abide by the interim constitution established by the committee, nor do they need to be governed by the committee.
In contrast, each settlement needs to find its own way out and solve its own survival problems in the never-ending cold winter and the intrusion of alien species.
In the final statement, the committee chief still expressed the hope that the management of each settlement would not forget their mission and try their best to rescue the compatriots around them.
No one knew it at the time.
Just five years after the Post-War Reconstruction Committee was disbanded, the atmospheric environment showed signs of recovery.
The long nuclear winter also came to an end in people's surprised eyes, and the declining species also repopulated the land.
At this point, legions, colleges and enterprises have entered the development stage one after another, and the Wasteland Era has also entered the half-century-long "Shelter Era" from the "Committee Era".
As the climate reached the preset standard for ending dormancy, the shelters opened their doors one after another, and the old popsicles who came out of the shelters also stepped onto the stage that had become a wasteland.
Although the plan deviated from the expected track from the beginning, most of the shelters neither found the defunct post-war reconstruction committee, nor were they able to keep things on the surface in the same order as inside the shelters.
But they are incompatible with this era, but in a short period of time, they injected a boost into this declining world, and used the knowledge of the prosperous era and mysterious black boxes and other objects to help some wastelanders They survived the initial dark ages of losing the Reconstruction Commission.
What surprised Chu Guang was that these unknown secrets were actually placed on the bookshelf in the Great Rift Valley Lounge for anyone to browse at will.
What he didn't expect was that the old neighbor to the north of the alliance was once the headquarters of the post-war reconstruction committee.
"No...I can't say I didn't expect it at all."
Chu Guang carefully recalled the holographic image left by Dr. Principle that he and Yin Fang had seen before, and connected it with the clues collected by the Death Corps.
"...In the second year of the Wasteland Era, Dr. Principle, who had delayed his awakening for two years, was escorted by Battalion Commander Zhao Weisheng of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division and went to the Great Rift with more than a thousand survivors unplanned. Gu met with comrades from the Post-War Reconstruction Committee."
"According to the description in the holographic image, the Great Rift Valley was already controlled by the 111th Orbital Airborne Division at that time... In other words, the predecessor of the Legion was actually the 111th Orbital Airborne Division deployed in the River Valley Province?"
And he also saved one of the three founders of the academy? !
Looking at the data recovered by the players and the past events of the past hundred years, Chu Guang couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
When Vault 404 was closed, so many things happened outside...
At this moment, he finally understood Dr. Method's mood, why that guy went to Vault 101 to isolate himself.
If I were stabbed twice in the back by my teammates, I'm afraid my mentality would not be very good, especially since the second stab was completely inexplicable.
But from the standpoint of the defunct Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Production, they certainly have their own reasons——
‘I shed my blood and sweat to help you open the ruins, and I asked you not to do any cloning technology, I will do it myself! ’
'Anyway, you will definitely separate in the future. Since it is an expected event with high probability, why can't I be the one who takes action first? ’
Looking at the last page in the holographic image, Chu Guang couldn't help but think of his alliance.
Both he and the league are very young, but he will always grow old one day, and human abilities have limits after all, and he cannot always keep up with the changes of the times.
The players' world is also moving forward, and even because of the technical support of the shelter, they will progress faster than normal, and even enter the era of prosperity ahead of schedule.
At that time, "Wasteland OL" will face new challenges.
"...No matter what, the Alliance will not follow in the footsteps of the 'Committee'."
After muttering quietly, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and made a vague stroke in the air, closing the window suspended in front of him.
He always had a strong sense of déjà vu.
I seem to have said something similar.
At this moment, a light blue pop-up window suddenly flashed in front of his eyes without warning.
[Emergency mission triggered! 】
[Explanation: The morphological field device detected an abnormal individual, triggered the "flag6" determination, and the login permission of player ID: "Luo Yu" was temporarily frozen. 】
[Requirement: This task has been noted as the highest priority, and the coordinates have been updated to the shelter server map file. Administrators are requested to recover the abnormal individual as soon as possible, anesthetize it and place it on the B1 floor conveyor belt. 】
[Task reward: Unlock B6 floor]
This mission pop-up window has not appeared for a long time, and Chu Guang almost didn’t recognize it when it popped up suddenly.
When he saw the mission reward, he was even more stunned.
Floor B6?
Wait...
Isn’t level B5 not unlocked yet?
Why was it skipped directly?
But what concerned him more was the description of the urgent mission.
"...abnormal individual?!"
What the hell?
Chu Guang was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he immediately reopened the holographic computer and gave instructions to his cute little assistant.
"Xiao Qi, immediately synchronize the latest received coordinates on the shelter server to my holographic computer."
Xiaoqi: "Received!"
The coordinates quickly appeared on the map.
It is exactly in the southern part of Luoxia Province, where the Lost Valley is located.
Chu Guang was even more confused when he saw this coordinate.
He clearly remembered that a nuclear bomb was exploded there just a few hours ago.
Even if a player wants to die and tries to get a taste of what it would be like to be bombed by a nuclear bomb, they can't survive being hit by a nuclear bomb, right?
Can this game still be cheated?
And just when Chu Guang was wondering what happened to Er, a miserable wailing appeared on the official website forum.
"Blank it!"
"I am counting, why is the countdown to resurrection not starting!!!"
(Thanks to the "11 of 11" leader for the reward!!!)
