This Game Is Too Realistic

Brother, why is your electric stove not working well?

...Maybe the power is not enough. I'll think about it and see if I can use these copper wires to build a bigger generator.

Brother, be steady!

When leaving the woodworking hut, Chu Guang passed by the industrial area and saw several players in front of the steelmaking blast furnace, thinking about how to improve the steelmaking technology.

The electric furnace improved from waste products seems to have failed, and the problem seems to be the power. The two players are discussing how to imitate a more powerful generator.

If only it worked out.

Silently saying cheers in his heart, Chu Guang, carrying a hammer on his back, walked to the side of the brick kiln, and found [Retain people under the knife] who was instructing other players to burn bricks.

Since Lao Bai changed his job as a hunter player, the position of construction captain has fallen to Brother Dao who was born in civil engineering.

The three-meter-high wall is still too short. I don't know when the second round of the raid will come. I plan to strengthen the defense of the outpost. Do you have any good suggestions?

I didn't expect the manager to ask me to discuss such an important issue.

Keeping people under the knife was pleasantly surprised at first, and immediately began to think seriously.

Judging from the weapons of the predators, they use more Molotov cocktails, throwing objects, and light weapons. Although the fence can forcibly prevent them from breaking through our defense line, it actually does not provide us with much advantage in actual firefights!

My suggestion is that we can concentrate building materials to build 3-4 meter high bunkers outside the walls, and then use Z-shaped trenches to connect these bunkers!

Hearing this little player's suggestion, Chu Guang's eyes lit up.

It's a really good idea.

Predators are creatures like goblins in fantasy movies. Their firepower and melee capabilities are not very strong, and their advantages are intimidation and harassment.

Intimidation is of no use to the player, it will only make the gang of madmen more excited. The only thing that needs to be limited is their ability to harass.

A bunker provides frontal suppression, and flanking trenches perfectly limit the maneuverability of marauders.

Is a Marauder without mobility still a Marauder?

Those are mobile experience packs!

Even if they gritted their teeth and broke through the defensive gap and jumped into the trench, what awaited them was a more brutal bloodbath.

It is a matter of ability to shoot without aiming at people.

Do you still need to worry about this problem when fighting bayonets in the trenches?

In the minds of these players, there is no concept of retreat. If they are red-eyed, they will take a few away even if they are self-defeating.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang made a decision immediately.

That's it, how many people do you need?

Liuren under the knife made a total calculation in his heart, and said.

Give me 20 people, and I can do it in three days! 30 people, up to two days!

Digging trenches is not very difficult. With tools such as shovels and a few strength players, it is estimated that it will be done in less than a day.

The main structure is dug out first, and then slowly reinforced with wood.

As for the bunker.

The kind of concrete pouring is useless, and the defense power overflows too much. Drag some hardened cement blocks from the abandoned construction site, use wood and discarded steel bars to make beams, and build an earthen blockhouse is not a problem.

Chu Guang nodded.

I'll give you 40 people!

40? Is it too many? Dao Xialiuren was stunned.

Chu Guang shook his head.

What we lack is not people, but time. A batch of reinforcements will arrive on the surface tomorrow, and I will hand over all these new recruits to you.

There are a total of 40 people in this group who have obtained the qualifications for the packaging and testing, and the number has reached the highest number in the past.

With so many newcomers flooding into the game, it was necessary to find something for them to do, saving so many people from running around like headless chickens in the base.

By the way, let them get acquainted with the worker-beating culture in Vault 404.

In order to make people under the knife pay enough attention to this task, Chu Guang paused for a moment after finishing speaking, and continued to speak in a serious tone.

This task is very critical, I hope you take it seriously. In addition, your contribution points and rewards will be determined by the quality of the fortifications.

If in the next battle, the fortifications you designed perform well, there will be additional rewards.

Although the manager didn't tell him how much the reward was, but seeing the NPC's serious appearance, Liuren under the knife directly substituted it into the hidden mission.

He stood up excitedly, put his right fist firmly on his left chest, and said energetically.

Guaranteed to complete the task!

very good.

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

For the rest of the day, you first take out the plan, make a mark outside the fence, and start construction immediately early tomorrow morning.

Go.

...

A scout was caught last night, and there was no movement from the marauders all day today, and I don't know what the people of the Bloody Hand clan are thinking.

Are you going to wait for them to attack here?

Neither the raiding team nor the scouts who fought against Qiufeng went back. No matter how slow the other party was, they should realize that those people would never go back.

The hunter squads wandering around the north and east sides of the Wetland Park were not only hunting, but also cooperating with the observation point to hunt for the predator's scouts.

It is troublesome to wear the exoskeleton all the time, especially when carrying a 20-30 kg hammer on the back.

Chu Guang walked to the generator and unloaded the equipment, found a wire to connect the KV-1 exoskeleton to power, started charging, and then patrolled the outpost.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that two players were squatting in the corner next to the granary, discussing something mutteringly, so he walked over to take a look.

What are you doing?

The two players squatting on the ground got up.

Dear Master Manager, we think this thing is very familiar, a bit like the green wheat we ate before.

As he said that, the player stretched out his index finger and pointed to a few turquoise ears of wheat shaking by the side of the granary.

In fact, it is not so much a wheat ear, its shape is more like a dog's tail grass. There are a bunch of unopened ears on the top of the stalk, and there are green-green seeds that are bigger than sesame seeds under the thin cilia on the edge.

Chu Guang had never grown this kind of thing before. He had only grown croissants before, but he hadn't grown them yet.

Although he had imported a lot of green wheat before, he had never seen where the green wheat came from, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Thinking that there happened to be a knowledgeable person in the outpost, Chu Guang went to the warehouse, called the old Luca who was standing there familiar with the position, and took him to the granary.

Luka just glanced at it, and without squatting down to confirm, he nodded and said in an affirmative tone.

My lord, this is indeed green wheat, and it looks like it has been growing for half a month. But the seedlings are not planted at the right time, and they are about to fall. In addition, there is frost this morning, and snow will fall in two days at the latest , I'm afraid this seedling won't live for a few days.

Fuck?

Is it really green wheat?

After staring at the crumbling seedlings on the ground for a while, Chu Guang reckoned that a few seedlings should have been scattered there when he moved the grain.

You know how to grow this stuff?

My lord, you are joking. This old slave has been doing farm work for decades... besides, green wheat is not wheat. This crop is actually grown from dogtail grass. It is not difficult to grow. Like croissants , You have to wait for the sprouts to be cut into pieces and plastered. For green wheat, you don’t even need to make seeds. You can find a piece of land and sprinkle them, and after two or three months, a crop will grow, just like grass.” Lu Ka whispered.

So amazing? Chu Guang was stunned.

It's not magical, the main thing is... this kind of grain is not a good thing, and it is usually eaten by servants like us. If you have seen what it looks like when it is just cut, you will know why I said that. Then It smells sour on the nose, it really smells like grass, and it gets better after being exposed to the sun.

Chu Guang: ...

Luka glanced at Chu Guang cautiously, and continued to ask.

However, this thing is also good. It grows fast, has deep roots, can absorb water, tolerates drought, and can live without bad temperature. It doesn't need much care. The only disadvantage is that you can't cut too much in one crop, and the yield is not good. .”

Cutting the spikes can fill the stomach and feed the livestock. The poles can be burned to ashes, turned into the soil and can be used as potash fertilizer, or it is good to cut it and use it for composting and fermentation...We usually like this kind of things. Interspersed with other crops in rotation.

If there is some surplus fertilizer left in the soil, for example, just after planting other things, if the seeds are scattered, it will not be a problem to produce four to five hundred catties per mu. If the single planting is used, the harvest will be average. The ears are not big and small, so they are similar Your wall grows about the same size as this one, and it’s enough to weigh tens of catties per mu.”

...In my impression, merchants who come from the north will buy some of this kind of food, and the nearby survivor strongholds will also buy some, and those who come from the south will rarely buy it.

Chu Guang had always been curious about what kind of variant this green wheat was, and now the case has been solved.

After a long time, it turned out that the dogtail grass mutated?

No wonder the survivors of Beit Street grind this thing into pancakes, or boil it into a paste, presumably to volatilize some oxalic acid.

So it turns out that he has been grazing the players?

Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.

In short, it is better not to update this information on the official website.

Then what kind of crops did you usually grow before? Chu Guang changed the topic and continued to ask.

There are a lot of them. Green wheat and croissants are the cheapest, and they are available in all seasons. Vegetables and fruits are more expensive to sell, and more are grown in greenhouses. The red rib leaves are the most profitable and easy to sell. They can be used as tobacco leaves when dried. Both scavengers and merchants can afford it. I think some people use it as a substitute for spices to cover up some of the fishy smell. In addition, there is a crop called Camus, which produces a yellow Green fruit.

What is that? Chu Guang asked immediately.

Luka shook his head and said.

My lord, how could the farmer talk about this to servants like us? I only saw merchants from Boulder City coming over and buying them in whole boxes. Seriously, that stuff is not tasty, it tastes like tires. But cut You can get a lot of oil by opening the bark, which is what our generator burns, and it can be used after a little purification.

Chu Guang thought for a moment.

Maybe that camu camu was not meant to be eaten in the first place.

With Luka's level of knowledge, of course he couldn't understand this sentence, but he was very smart and didn't say anything, and waited with a respectful face, only answering the questions asked by the master.

Chu Guang took out his small notebook and jotted down a few notes on it.

[1. Wasteland tips: There is a commercial crop called Camus tree planted in Brown Farm. The fruit is suspected to be able to extract rubber, and the tree oil can be used as fuel. 】

[2. Power information: Brown Farm has close business contacts with the outside world, owns slaves and hoards a certain number of weapons, and deliberately hides its strength. Its real economic situation and combat effectiveness may be slightly stronger than it appears on the surface. The threat level is appropriately raised from C- to C, and the favorability of the power remains neutral (0). 】

[3. Faction information: The relationship between the No. 404 refuge outpost and the scavengers on Beit Street is harmonious, the threat level remains E-, and the favorability of the faction has increased from neutral (30) to friendly (50). 】

[4. New NPC in the Outpost: Warehouse Manager Luca. Old Luca was a miserable serf who was rescued by the manager at gunpoint and swore allegiance to the sanctuary. His ideal was to make hunger no longer in the wasteland.

His legs are severely arthritic and he can't do heavy work. Helping him carry things may be a good way to increase his friendship, and please note that stealing and other behaviors will reduce his evaluation of you. In addition, his experience with various plants in the wasteland is a valuable asset, which may come in handy during the spring plowing season. 】

That's all for now!
