Chapter 673: Identity isolation, the inevitable linear development!
At night, Prickly Pear Town, except for the neat street lights in the center, looks like a small town in the early days of the West that was not yet fully developed.
Quiet, comfortable, and full of life.
But in the daytime, when he stood in front of the window again, Somo fell into a trance.
Looking directly out of the window, on the cement pavement between the houses, there are already all kinds of people flowing back and forth, and it looks quite lively.
The flowers blooming in the cracks of the road and on both sides emit a pleasant smell when blown by the wind, which is touching.
But these are not the reasons why Sumo was stunned.
Looking around, the various vehicles driving on the street and the auxiliary equipment worn by pedestrians were the focus of Sumo's immediate attention.
"Xiaojuan, what is that!"
Pointing at several vehicles that looked like three-wheeled motorcycles on Earth, Su Mo's eyes were full of curiosity.
In the 1990s, it was the main means of transportation at the entrance of the train station. It could pull goods at ordinary times, and when there were many people, it could also carry people in the open car at the rear.
In the 1910s, it was the favorite big toy of old men in the countryside. Before Lao Tou Le had conquered the market, it could be said that everyone had one.
Looking at the shape of this thing, if it were placed in China, it would be seen in many places.
But the difference is that tricycles on earth either rely on human pedals or engines to output power.
The tricycle here seems to combine two things.
Although the person riding in front has pedals, as long as he pedals slightly, the tricycle will instantly slide three to five meters away, which seems to be effortless at all.
"Huh? Brother Zong, this is the most common three-wheeler in the wasteland. Our family bought one before and it is still in the garage. Have you forgotten?"
"Convenient three-wheeler?" A trace of doubt flashed in Sumo's eyes: "I remember many things vaguely, as if they overlap with the memories on earth."
"Why is this convenient three-wheeler only Can you row so far with just one pedal? Is there a motor inside?"
After realizing that everything here seemed to be equipped with "black technology", Su Mo simply stopped pretending and directly showed off his "amnesia". ".
He originally thought that after eight years, even if human science and technology developed further, it would only be on the road to reviving earth's technology.
But now it seems that this route seems to be quite different from what was imagined.
Humanity has already embarked on a new technological path in the wasteland of the future!
A lame explanation, by the way, covered up the difference in speaking and personality between himself and the original person.
Fortunately, Huang Xiaojuan was also generous and did not worry about why he lost his memory. She even blamed everything on his memory loss, which made Su Mo feel relieved.
"This convenient three-wheeler is a new type of vehicle that was developed only in the last three years of the calendar year. Brother Zong, don't look at it. It looks different from the three-wheelers on earth. This thing has a lot of knowledge."
"This tire is made of high-strength rubber and special materials. It can not only run on flat roads, but also can run smoothly on complex terrain. It is excellent in anti-skid, wear-resistant and explosion-proof."
“This frame is also made of entry-level alloy, which is enough to withstand normal impact and natural corrosion caused by sun and rain.”
“But the most amazing thing is that the Zong Brother, that’s what you just said.”
Pointing to the position of the tricycle, Huang Xiaojuan’s face showed a strange expression: “Convenient tricycles are equipped with energy machines. With its help, the pedals in the front will not feel at all. How much resistance?”
"The function of the pedals is actually similar to that of the accelerator. The faster you pedal, the more energy the machine releases and the faster the speed. The slower you pedal, the less energy the machine releases and the speed will change accordingly. "Slow"
"Energy?"
Capturing a key word keenly, Sumo's heart skipped a beat, and the thought of being removed from the climbing car instantly appeared in his mind. A power stone engine installed in its own storage space.
In principle, the current energy engine is indeed somewhat like the vision Lu Kuan and Ai Jianfeng had for the future when they developed the energy stone engine.
Small in size, wide in application, simple to use, and simple and crude output.
Is it possible that this thing was developed in their own territory? Has Lu Kuan made any new innovations in the past eight years?
“Yes, Brother Zong, this thing is valuable. An entry-level energy machine costs a full two hundred resource points. Ordinary people may not be able to save up for a year without eating or drinking. You can afford to buy it.” Level energy machine"
got.
According to power output, functional machines are divided into grades, and the selling prices are also different.
After hearing this, Sumo was almost 90% sure that this thing was definitely made by his own territory.
After all, only Kuanfeng Energy Stone can make such a classification based on purity and size.
Then, Huang Xiaojuan's words also gave Sumo a clearer understanding of the wasteland eight years later.
“Nengji, among the entire extended New Continent, only Tianyuan Territory can produce it.”
“As one of the top ten territories, they have a strong industrial production base and strong Their resource reserves are well-known, starting from the eastern coast to the central Hengduan Mountains, almost all of their territory"
"Much better than our Prickly Pear Town, no, much better than our entire Qingguo Territory!"
Sticking out her tongue, Huang Xiaojuan's mind wandered a little.
After seeing that Somo had fallen into a sluggish state, she quickly thought about it and continued to add details to help restore her memory faster.
"Brother Zong, I just heard that there are rumors that this Tianyuan territory was once founded by the human Su Shen, who left a strong foundation and developed like this."
"Human Su Shen?”
"Yes, when we first arrived in the wasteland eight years ago, it was the human God Su who helped us open up the situation, single-handedly defeated all the alien gods, and bought us humans a precious year to develop. This Only then did we have the current great situation. It can be said that without Su Shen, we humans would not be where we are today at all."
"But it was also eight years ago that Su Shen seemed to have disappeared, and there was no longer any trace of it. "Appeared"
"Some people speculated that he was trapped in some place and has not come out yet. Some people speculated that he had fallen and left behind countless treasures. Some people speculated that he had gone to a higher place. Go and compete with stronger foreign races."
"In the past eight years, every time there is news about Su Shen, it is just a rumor, and there is no follow-up news at all!"
One sentence after another.
Huang Xiaojuan's seemingly unintentional murmur fell into Su Mo's heart, but it boomed like thunder.
There are surprises and excitement, but also expectations and desires.
I feel the urge to go there, but I also feel the fear of not knowing how to enter.
“Without me, they actually relied on all the things I left behind to develop the territory to such an extent.”
When I think about how the territory has developed to such an extent eight years later , Somo couldn't help but be fascinated, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly to his territory now.
But seeing the slight longing on his face, Huang Xiaojuan on the side shook her head in "understanding" and poured a basin of cold water down without mercy. "Wow, Brother Zong, it seems that you have really lost your memory this time!"
"In fact, when most people hear about Tianyuan Territory, they think the same thing as you at first. Thinking about how to join and how to live in such a powerful territory"
"But in this world, everything has a clearly marked price. Forget it, Brother Zong, just open the game panel and take a look."
After being reminded by Huang Xiaojuan, Su Mo suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a prerequisite task for him to discover in the game.
Calling in my heart, the light green game panel was still opened.
On the main interface, which was so simple that there were only two buttons left, Sumo found the so-called pre-task reminder.
[Preliminary tasks: Escape from Qingguo Territory/Lead Qingguo Territory to resist]
[Preliminary environment]: After eight years, successive years of disasters and frequent wars have been basically exhausted. In the gap between disasters, the aliens, who had been forced into a dead end, decided to launch a final resistance and fight a desperate battle with humans to occupy resources and gain a new life.
[Description]: Twelve powerful foreign tribes with a number of 150,000 have set their sights on the Qingguo territory, which is rich in food resources. They urgently need to capture it to provide a large amount of food as a hinterland for subsequent wars. Demand, as a member of Prickly Pear Town under Qingguo Territory, in such a complex environment, it is time for you to make a choice
[Task Completion Condition 1]: Successfully escape from Qingguo's territory during the siege and automatically obtain "refugee" status.
[Mission Completion Condition 2]: Lead the Qingguo Territory to rise up in resistance, defeat the aliens’ strategic plan, and automatically obtain the status of "Lord" of the Qingguo Territory.
[Countdown to the enemy’s attack]: 103:55:18
“As long as we defeat the aliens, can we directly obtain the identity of the lord of this Qingguo territory?”
Quickly scan After completing the description of the entire preliminary task, Sumo's anxiety eased slightly, and his understanding of this world deepened once again.
Judging from the current situation, the foreign race should have lost all support since eight years ago. No other race has come, and no resources have been obtained.
In this case, it is natural to be able to be defeated by humans and want to rise up to resist.
And as previously speculated, this world should only be similar to the branch timeline, and it is not really placed in the future progress of the main world.
Maybe the game is not that powerful, or maybe there are too many variables in the middle.
But in short, Sumo is very satisfied with the environment that he is about to face.
Forgetting the choice of prerequisite tasks, Sumo clicked back to the main interface and started looking at the first functional camp.
The big hand of consciousness takes shape and gently touches the button.
As the interface jumps, something similar to a ranking list pops up and begins to be subdivided into two columns, namely humans and aliens.
In the large human column, there are many smaller entries for ranking.
“The size of the territory, the population of the territory, the technological progress of the territory, and the abundance of the territory’s resources.”
There are a total of fifteen different rankings, and the rankings are compiled according to the different development situations of each territory.
Among them, Sumo scanned several rankings in a row, and he could see at a glance the "Tian Yuan Territory" he founded.
“Huh, this ranking is not low!”
In terms of territory area, although Tianyuan Territory is only ranked 49th among all territories, in terms of technological progress and resource abundance, it can Ranked within the top ten.
It is enough to see how important the accumulation made in the early stage will be in the next eight years.
After flipping through it for a while, and roughly remembering the top territories in his mind, Somo turned all the way to Qingguo Territory.
Comprehensive ranking, 249th.
Neither too low nor too high. Being in this position is mostly due to the rich agricultural products of Qingguo Territory, which is supported by a large amount of food and natural crops.
The truth is about the level of science and technology and population.
“There are less than 90,000 people, and the level of science and technology is basically zero. There are only sporadic factories, and the technology is bought from other territories. There is no technology at all. No ability to develop by oneself”
"That's right. It's unrealistic to expect force to be used in a productive place."
Qingguo's territory is quite large, spanning more than 400 kilometers from north to south, and just over 200 kilometers from east to west. .
The terrain is flat, the sunshine is abundant, and several rivers pass through it, providing basic conditions for the growth of crops. It is an out-and-out food-based territory.
Naturally, Lord Qingguo has no intention of developing much military force, and most of the weapons should be purchased from outside.
“In such a territory, if I were the lord now, it would be difficult for me to defeat the many with the few and the weak with the strong.”
"Not to mention that I am just the deputy director of a material department in a subordinate town."
Shaking his head, Su Mo had not yet decided on the choice of preliminary tasks, but he already had it in his heart. idea.
Return to the main interface.
Looking at the remaining "Wasteland Exchange" function, Sumo paused and clicked on it with his control intention.
After about two or three seconds of jump, a burst of green light flashed. Before seeing the specific trading function, Sumo saw the current reserves and original body in the upper right corner of the interface. name.
Su Youzong.
503.39 points.
Of course, 500 points come from previous privilege rewards, and the remaining 3.39 points are most likely the points accumulated by the original person.
"What did Su Youzong buy? The deputy director of the Materials Department of a town doesn't even have five points?"
I was used to thousands of points and suddenly returned to At a few hundred o'clock, Sumo was a little uncomfortable waiting for the page to jump.
More than ten seconds passed, and I waited until a new page was loaded successfully.
Sumo's brows, which were originally relaxed, suddenly wrinkled.
The items sold in this trading panel are still limited to Qingguo territory. At a glance, there are not many specific items, only a few sporadic items.
But after letting go of the scope, Su Mo suddenly understood Huang Xiaojuan's previous expression and the true meaning of her words, "In today's world, everything is clearly marked with a price."
“No wonder the game has been emphasizing identity. It turns out that the wasteland eight years later has become so abstract.”
With a bad premonition rising in his heart, Sumo quickly opened the search box, first typed in the four characters Tianyuan Territory, and then added the word identity.
For a moment, under the double conditions filtering, a new interface filled with trading items began to slowly emerge.
