Chapter 981 Stand still, fear returns!
"It is definitely impossible to manufacture an exoskeleton just by relying on the few low-precision machine tools provided by the weapons factory, and the third generation of strong iron does not have sufficient protective capabilities."
"You said I want to set up a machinery factory. I will go down and do some research on this matter, and I will tell you if I find a suitable candidate."
Lu Kuan thought about it for a while, and felt that the first thing to do is to make some exoskeleton armor to improve combat effectiveness.
After all, the next natural disaster is approaching, and there is no guarantee that an accident will not happen.
"It's easy to choose the candidate. I asked Chen Shen to compile some information. You can take a look at it before making a decision."
Sumo took out a few pieces of paper from the pocket under the desk and handed them over.
I have to say that the decision we made with Tundra Sanctuary to rob a group of talents was absolutely correct.
Those talents with high technical reserves do not have corresponding manufacturing machinery in ordinary territories, so naturally they cannot play any role. At best, they can only be regarded as ordinary people with slightly stronger hands-on skills.
But with the supporting tools, their potential is instantly put to use.
"Well, I can build helicopters and major in aerospace. Not bad, not bad."
"Hey, this one is actually majoring in heavy electrical machinery. This is also a good prospect."
"."
Looking through the information recorded on the paper, Lu Kuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Burying talents in repetitive manual labor is something that cannot be done in difficult times.
Now Tianyuan Territory is gradually getting rid of the most basic food resource needs and begins to take root in this strange land.
As long as these talents can be placed in the right positions, they can play a great role.
Coupled with the help of the route, basically as long as you are willing to work hard, it is a bright road upward.
The most typical representative of them is the Spicy Iron Hammer. After this guy chooses to be a mechanical apprentice, he can get a bit of experience from the steel and tools produced by Lianmeng Steel Factory.
And although this experience is not like other routes, which can suddenly increase a person's level by several levels in a short period of time, as time goes by and the output increases, now he His mechanical apprentice level is already Level 4, and is about to reach Level 5. He is already a player at the top of the line.
The attribute points granted by upgrading give Spicy Iron Hammer stronger thinking ability and physical fitness.
After the route level is improved, those weird abilities that may be born are also one of the important indicators to measure a player's strength.
After telling Lu Kuan that he must screen out the candidates for the machinery factory as soon as possible and build the first integrated "Mother of Industry" in the territory, Su Mo found Su Deben with the plan in hand.
The previous restructuring reduced the number of Tianyuan Army to just over a hundred.
After experiencing a battle and witnessing the rapid growth of reserve soldiers in the war, Sumo decided to increase the number to 350.
Counting the manpower of the security department in the village, the total number of standing combat personnel in the territory reached 700.
Based on the current population ratio, it has exceeded 5%, which is considered a relatively high level.
Deployment of defense-related plans.
At noon, when the light is best, Somo came to the plantation area that has now been opened to the sixteenth.
Starting five kilometers northwest of Hope Village, the stretching green space becomes the only color between heaven and earth.
Walking through the mist, the villagers who chose the farmer route were busy walking around, taking care of the status of each plant.
It stands to reason that as long as crops are planted, their vitality should be very strong.
But in the wasteland, no one knows what will happen.
In order to prevent accidents with this life-saving food, there are people guarding here almost 24 hours a day.
The Hope Village Guard with guns will also patrol the perimeter of the plantation to ensure as much as possible that no outsiders can break into it.
"No. 1 Plantation will enter the maturity stage in two months at most, which is much faster than we expected."
With his naked upper body, the "Chicken Blood" who won the bid for No. 1 Plantation "Pengpai" walked to the field and reported to Sumo in detail the recent situation in the planting area.
“Originally, we thought that the fog would cut off the sunlight and cause the plants to dry up, and the entire roots would gradually become corrupted and lose their vitality by microorganisms. But in fact, after our long-term observation, this fog The impact of the Qianhuan Mist is actually not great, and it is almost as if it does not exist. "
"On the contrary, the growth rate of crops will increase to a certain extent in such humid and low-heat conditions."
With no drinking water currently available in the territory, the main crops in this plantation are wheat and corn.
It has been nearly two months since the seeds were sown, and the green wheat is already as high as a man's calf.
And those corns have already grown thick oranges with dark blue tassels on them.
“Thank you for your hard work. Your hard work during this period will be rewarded when the harvest comes.”
To be honest, the first time I saw this vast farmland that could not be covered by the fog , Sumo couldn't suppress his emotions.
Starch manufacturing machines and protein reaction machines have indeed brought human productivity to a level where humans no longer rely so much on the right time and place to obtain sufficient food from the land.
But as long as the game suddenly strikes a disaster, the "energy" of all the indigenous people will be reduced.
It is enough to foresee what challenges those indigenous people who have long lost their farming skills will encounter.
I felt that there was something extra in Sumo's expression. He paused for a moment, then smiled and changed his words:
"Lord, this is what we should do. After all, there are other places. Even if people want to farm like us, they don't have such stable time and space to do so."
"In addition, we are ready to fight against foreign enemies. If someone dares to destroy our plantations, here we are. Everyone will fight with them to the end!”
If players on the farmer route want to upgrade, they can only gain experience from the land through the continuous planting process.
And among them, the experience gained is far greater than all the previous steps.
If someone destroys farmland, they are going against all farmers and killing their way to upgrade.
Sumo nodded.
"During this period, I will send people to strengthen patrols in this area to ensure that no accidents occur."
"Thank you, lord!"
"Don't worry, the second planting area I contracted has already started supplying goods to the village." I found a palm-sized white square plant.
This is a special variety captured from the dwarves before. It tastes somewhat like human radishes.
However, in terms of specific taste, these white cubes are much spicier than radish.
If the Red Spider Caravan could leave two days later, this thing might be able to replace the previously collected wild vegetables and become the new main source of pickles.
"I named this thing: cabbage head, would you like it?"
Sumo took it, wiped the dirt on it, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Hiss.
A bit spicy, but extremely moist.
After eating it whole, the spicy taste went straight down my throat.
After about half a minute, the burning sensation gradually subsided.
"If this thing can be made into kimchi, it would be very good to eat with dry food."
"You can have more varieties, we will use it as a reserve material." Facts have proved that unless this thing is poisonous, Otherwise, there will be no eating methods that humans cannot develop.
After leaving the first two plantations where blood was flowing, Sumo inspected the next fourteen in turn.
Overall, the growth is gratifying.
The current potential value of Tianyuan Territory has skyrocketed to 69 after Ling Lingzong invested hundreds of territory points.
There is still a huge gap compared to 3925, which ranks first, but it is more than a little better than when we first arrived.
In addition, the fertile land is now the first crop to grow, and the fertility in it is still abundant.
"As long as we can persist for two months, there will be no problem in filling those granaries with harvested grain!"
With grain in hand, I don't panic.
With more food reserves, more currency can be issued to stimulate the market economy.
And when the machinery factory is completed, energy stone engines can be mass-produced.
Sumo plans to make a batch of vehicles to expand the scanning radius of the territory as much as possible, and search to bring back more players to join the territory.
Of course, in order to prevent villagers from having too much currency in their hands, causing malicious inflation of prices in the territory, Zero, as a data monitor, will still calculate the consumption rate of materials and productivity ratio within a period of 48 hours, and calculate the currency The expansion rate is controlled within a reasonable specific gravity.
As for someone really relying on certain methods to obtain a total amount of money that is enough to shock the market, Sumo also reserves a solution.
Tianyuan Dungeon is still empty until now.
Tens of thousands of people want to be the first to move in, and they can casually use some value-added services to offset their excess currency.
As for more.
Just relax restrictions on individual bullet purchases and develop permission to explore beyond your territory.
These consumables will also offset part of the impact of inflation, constantly driving the economy of the entire territory to thrive.
“If I weren’t No. 0, it would be a bit of a headache for me to control the economy alone.”
Touching the naughty little square in his pocket, Sumo went home, and then went back Arriving at the office in the dungeon.
The projection of No. 0 reflected dense data on the wall, and also predicted the next development trend.
In general, the current development of the territory has temporarily entered a bottleneck period.
All agricultural production has also reached the time-consuming stage, and it takes about two months to wait for the maturity stage.
All industrial manufacturing has passed the initial difficult stage. There is a basic production volume, but the total volume has not completely crossed over to the semi-assembly line mechanical production model, and a large amount of basic equipment is urgently needed to meet the needs. need.
More and more metal materials are piling up behind the village. Even if a lot of them are supplied to the Red Spider Caravan, the continuous consumption can no longer keep up with the speed of collection.
Coupled with the diverse living needs of the villagers, such as new clothes, new bedding, more delicious food, more powerful weapons, etc.
In this case, Zero gave a piece of advice that was not considered advice.
Stable.
In its view, the best way is to stabilize the situation and avoid major changes.
External conflicts should be dealt with coldly if possible. It is best to put them on hold until later.
Even if the other party really wants to break out into a conflict, it can be delayed as long as possible. It must not break out at this time.
However, after looking at the disaster countdown in the upper right corner of the game panel, Somo sighed slightly.
Number Zero has a good idea.
But the game has already calculated everything.
In less than forty-eight hours, the disaster of all things returning to the indigenous people will come.
I am near Qinggang City and want to stay out
Easier said than done?
Two days later.
Boom.
Muffled thunder echoed in the wasteland, accompanied by sporadic raindrops that sprinkled mist and moistened the soil.
Some frightened radioactive creatures hid around in fear, guarding against possible dangers that might erupt in the surrounding area.
Qinggang City, northern suburbs.
In front of the dilapidated industrial park, the blasted lightning wall was not repaired immediately.
After judging the difficulty of repair, the engineers of Qinggang Shelter chose to only clean up the debris that fell on the ground, randomly revealing a large and unsightly gap.
The reason is simple. The most critical reason for building this wall is to prevent the big forces in the city next door.
Now that the world has changed, Qinggang City is alone, with 99% of the threats gone.
Naturally, there is no need to repair this wall immediately. Using the only materials to restore production in the industrial area behind it is the most important task at the moment.
The thunder rang a few more times, and the rain began to intensify.
In the industrial area behind the gap, people began to line up in long lines and headed for the simple tents in the open space outside the wall.
Wearing heavy shackles on their feet, they were in groups of eight, with only a pitiful distance of less than one meter apart.
Some people walk fast, and some people walk slow.
Those who are slow will be involuntarily staggered and fall to the ground in a daze.
Besides these teams, soldiers from Qinggang Shelter with loaded weapons and exoskeleton armor were watching coldly.
Occasionally, when a few teams walked slowly, they would stride forward and slam the butts of their rifles on the leader's back.
"Damn pigs, pick up your right foot and go back to the tent."
"If someone gets sick because of the rain, we will not give even a little bit of medicine to them. You.”
"Before repaying all the debts owed by those damn looters."
"All of your lives are the private property of our Clear Harbor Sanctuary!"
>He kicked a middle-aged man bitterly and looked at the frightened eyes of the half-grown child behind him.
The exoskeleton soldier laughed happily, and the irritability of being scolded for several days could not help but subside a little.
“Why don’t you get out?!”
Seeing the soldier preparing to kick him again, the middle-aged man rolled around trying to get up from the ground.
But what surprised him was that the moment his palm touched the ground, obvious vibrations seemed to be coming from the ground.
?
An earthquake?
Feeling the direction of the vibration, the man raised his head dully and looked into the distance.
In the thick fog, he seemed to see black lines appearing rapidly.
And as the amplitude of the vibration increased, it began to become more and more obvious.
That is
