Chapter 1006: The worry of hunting a tiger, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake!
As a warrior and army commander in the wasteland, Liehu feels that he is very successful, at least he can be regarded as a famous and top-notch figure in this Qinggang City.
Once upon a time, when he was the strongest and youngest.
Once he leads the Pingtan Army to the expedition.
Not to mention the monsters and monsters around the city, even the troops in Qinggang Sanctuary have to be treated lightly.
But in turn, as a refuge manager, Xiehu felt that he had failed very much.
Ten years have passed.
The once powerful Pingtan Army has gradually aged with the passage of time.
The new generation of trained Pingtan Army is unable to take on major responsibilities and can no longer use the previous plundering methods to make up for the gap in shelter consumption.
Although residents here don’t complain about their declining quality of life, the numbers don’t lie.
Pingtan Shelter is still in this half-dead state, and its material reserves have never grown positively.
If it weren’t for the foresight of the previous shelter manager, who spent a lot of money to purchase six various food ingredient manufacturing machines.
Hunting Tiger may even suspect that Pingtan Refuge will now be in a food crisis.
After all, those damn mutants are so delicious!
“Are they always like this these days?”
Looking at the bustling scene in front of the warehouse on the B-7th floor, Liehu tilted his head and looked at the deputy manager of the shelter, the ‘Chief Minister’.
After becoming the manager, Yiru Yehu changed his name to 'Pingtan' for the convenience of management.
The sergeant ‘Jin Guqiao’ was originally his deputy in the Pingtan Army. After that, he followed him and became the deputy manager of the shelter.
Hearing Liehu's question at this time, Jin Guqiao did not answer immediately, but glanced sideways at Liehu's face.
Slightly strangely, there was no trace of blame on Yehu's face, but rather some relief.
This kind of performance immediately made Jin Guqiao feel confident and knew what he should and shouldn't say.
“Yes, this scene has probably happened frequently since we started the third transaction with Tianyuan Shelter. Because of the friendly agreement reached between Liu Lu and Tianyuan Shelter, now there They are only willing to trade and supply goods with him. Managers at other levels need to make secondary purchases with Liu Lu here."
"Is he making the difference?" Liehu said bluntly with a frown.
He is good at monopoly.
When this area in the western suburbs was still lively, he led his people to secretly monopolize several illegal businesses.
What about robbing a passing caravan?
What kind of disguises are there to rob the goods ordered by other shelters?
He has even done it many times, pretending to be a member of a shelter and going out to swindle supplies.
At that time, relying on these small businesses, Tiger Hunter made a lot of money, and the equipment given to the Pingtan Army was always the best.
When I heard what Jin Guqiao said, I immediately thought of "monopoly".
It's not a good sign for one's own people to make money for one's own people in a shelter, and it can easily lead to civil strife.
If Liu Lu really dared to do this, he would have to be beaten hard
However.
"Master Pingtan, you misunderstood. How dare Liu Lu have a monopoly in our shelter? He can already be regarded as the most obedient floor leader in our entire shelter." Jin Guqiao smiled, thinking Several large boxes of goods that Liu Lu personally delivered a few days ago flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but praise: "On the contrary, for the materials he got from Tianyuan Shelter, the floor owners on other floors only had to pay some insignificant supplies. It’s even cheaper than buying it from Tianyuan!”
“Well? Then he lost money?”
Liehu said in a deep voice.
“You say he is obedient, I won’t refute.” Think of how Liu Lu was able to revitalize the B-7 floor so quickly after taking over Jin Dafa’s mess, and he had no complaints about the management and deployment of the shelter. .
“But he is not a fool, and his ability is very outstanding. I have seen the details of the material reserves reported by the B-7 layer last month. The current deficit has been made up by nearly 70%. This is not an ordinary person. It can be done."
"Yes, Liu Lu is indeed a smart man, a very sensible and smart man."
Jin Guqiao smiled and nodded slightly: "You are right. , His transactions between the various floors of our shelter were at a loss, and the losses were huge. The prices Liu Lu gave for those fresh vegetables and various novel gadgets were sometimes much higher than what we used. The machine is even lower, which directly discourages other managers and Tianyuan Shelter from exploring trade routes.”
"But you forgot, he lost money here, but he didn't lose money in Tianyuan Sanctuary?"
"Huh?"
Xiehu has no business acumen.
After all, if he could calculate these accounts clearly, he wouldn't have to worry about it in the shelter.
In the transactions between major shelters, what he is best at is talking with his fists, using weapons to blast open the opponent's door, and plundering all valuable goods without paying any cost.
Let him negotiate prices, deals, and cooperation
That would be really embarrassing.
“I don’t know how he negotiated with the manager of Tianyuan Shelter, and actually got the other party to agree to exchange those discarded industrial waste for supplies. Did you know that we have used one for more than a hundred years? It’s incredible that the old antiques from the past can be exchanged for thousands of kilograms of fresh vegetables!”
“And those toilet books, the garbage you ordered to be burned before, these things they It’s actually needed, and the price given is not low!”
“In exchange for those things, you only need industrial waste?”
Yehu frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
The waste left over from the pre-war era does take up space in the shelter and cannot be put to good use.
He immediately thought that the other party would take back these industrial wastes for repair and reuse.
But when it comes to repairs, the foundation can definitely do it.
But in 99% of cases, the price of repairing something is much higher than the price of buying a new machine.
He didn't quite believe it.
No.
That Yuan Shelter had absolutely no means of maintenance, otherwise it would not be so low-key.
“Why do they want that thing?”
“I heard it is.” Jin Guqiao pondered for a moment, then repeated the reason Liu Lu had revealed before: “The people there are very It’s strange, they have an inexplicable admiration for machinery, but how can I put it, just like we long for those high-end industrial machine tools in Qinggang Shelter, if we can’t get them, we can only use waste for research.”< br>
Talking about collection is simply too ridiculous.
Even hunting tigers wouldn’t believe it if they exchanged useless supplies for some useless iron lumps.
But the reason for saying that you want to dismantle it, study it and then imitate it is at least somewhat credible.
After all, this was the only reason Jin Guqiao could think of in the past three days.
Talking about other things, he couldn't think of any other more valuable ways to use these waste products with burnt internal circuits and even collapsed mechanical structures.
"If it's research, then it doesn't matter. We can sell them any amount of these things."
Liehu nodded, stood in the distance and watched the transaction scene for a while, and finally chose to shake his head and leave.
Ten years of lifelessness have wiped out too many of his ambitions.
The decadent shelter system cannot be overthrown by him alone.
This is a big ship sailing towards the future.
He is the captain.
The residents of the shelter are the crew. If the captain wants the ship to run faster, he can also use stimulation or punishment to urge it.
But if you want to turn and sail from a safe sea to a dangerous sea, the resistance is unimaginably great.
At least I have tried hunting the tiger several times, and each time it ended in failure.
In desperation, he could only choose another way and build a new ship.
It’s just that this “mutant” ship doesn’t seem to be very useful now.
Especially since the supply of supplies has slowed down recently, the damn mutant leader has expressed his dissatisfaction several times.
“For the transaction with Tianyuan Sanctuary, you must send people to protect this trade route and don’t let other interested parties destroy it.”
“Our enemies will not wait foolishly. After recuperating, come and try to attack again.”
"They are a group of hungry wolves that will pounce on them at any time. As long as they find an opportunity, maybe after this heavy fog ends, the war between the major shelters in Qinggang City will completely break out."
"Here. There has been peace for too long, and the shortage of supplies must be solved by war."
"And the neighbors in the south of the city will never stand aside if war breaks out."
< br>After walking all the way back to the office on the bottom floor along the elevator, pointing at the map on the wall, Liehu gave the order.
When it comes to economic development, he is not good at it.
But when it comes to fighting, even if he has become an "old" tiger, there are still few people in Qinggang City who can surpass his strategic vision.
A lot of experience told him that this seemingly peaceful city would soon become manic.
When the cake cannot be made bigger, the cake eaters will start to think about grabbing it from other people.
This is a change and an opportunity.
I heard that the prototype of another city has arrived on the outskirts of the southern suburbs.
Although it is not as large as Sunny Harbor Sanctuary, it is still a small group of forces that cannot be ignored.
A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
If the gopher guys in Qinggang City don't want to share the results of the war behind others, then waiting until the fog ends and launching a war immediately is the best choice.
"Prepare the army and wait until the fog disappears and we will be the first to attack!"
"The area in the southern suburbs has been peaceful for too long."
Tianyuan territory, outside Hope Village.
Zero opened a pair of ten centimeter long wings and flew freely in the air.
Sometimes it launches rapidly at high altitude, passing by at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour.
Sometimes it sways low in the sky, scurrying left and right in the gaps between the wheat fields.
For fixed obstacles, No. 0 avoided them very promptly.
But for moving obstacles
buzz.
Hover in front of a farming route player who is squatting in the field and secretly "fertilizing".
The latter's eyes widened, with a hint of obvious embarrassment in his eyes.
"Lord Lord, why did you bump into me again?"
"Uh hahaha, I'm just passing by, keep going, keep going."
Inside Zero, Sumo's awkward yet polite laughter came.
Then the small square lifted into the air at the fastest speed, and hurriedly fled away in the eyes of the opponent.
The screen changed.
In virtual reality, in a simulated room.
Taking off the headphones on his head, Sumo rubbed his shoulders and controlled the mouse with his right hand to click on the hosting mode.
"No. Zero, this won't work. It's meaningless to operate."
The display screen is a simulated picture of the information flow transmitted by No. Zero's mapping.
Except for sacrificing image quality for smoothness and only having 360P, the smoothness of operation is still acceptable.
Keyboard WASD controls the character up, down, left, and right, space climbs, and ctrl descends.
Coupled with the mouse switching perspective, it is really not difficult to get started.
But precisely this has also lowered the upper limit of this player system.
Unable to make more precise micro-manipulation movements, I can only perform some linear operations with wide opening and closing.
Moving obstacles cannot be detected in real time. If it enters a battle, it will definitely be a catastrophic performance.
In addition, when you are unable to be immersed in the scene and cannot concentrate.
When something unexpected happens, it's just as embarrassing as what happened just now.
"Master, your operation has been good enough, far exceeding the previous predictions of No. 0."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"Yes Oh, you're awesome!" Zero's delighted voice came from the void.
Pure artificial intelligence does not have so many twists and turns.
In previous predictions, the approximate number of takeovers predicted by No. 0 was about two per minute.
But in actual testing, it only took over once in five minutes.
All other situations were avoided in advance by Sumo's abnormal reflexes and body control.
“But No. 0 has also noticed the problem you mentioned, but we are completely unable to solve it at this stage.”
“The game model matched by the “Player Login System” of version 1.0 is different from The finished games you provided before have limited ranges of activities, logical behavior restrictions, and prescribed behavior patterns that limit the player's control limits. There are even some unsolvable bugs, such as Civilization and Rule of Law 5, Motorcycle. The car can fly on the surface of the building at a vertical angle of 90 degrees, and can jump from a mountain thousands of meters away without suffering any damage. It is simply outrageous! ”
"In comparison, our game is completely simulated. The physics rules here are completely consistent with reality. There is air resistance, gravity pull, real collision volume, and there is no crappy air wall setting. Players can freely experience the world full of realism in the game, and can make any operation that only exists in their imagination. In addition, don't think that this game looks simple, and the upper limit is not high. In fact, if you want to play it skillfully, it will definitely be done. It is dozens of times more difficult than any game produced on earth.
Admittedly, the growth curve of such a difficult game is indeed unreasonable. You may not find it fun when you first get started. That is because you are familiar with it. The environment does not stimulate human curiosity, but if you go to a strange and dangerous environment, I believe that even you will like it.”
Number Zero gave a series of familiar answers! Explain and answer the question clearly.
In the eyes of ordinary AI, there may be no difference between fun and not fun, only practical and impractical.
But for a product like Zero that has touched the boundary of real artificial intelligence.
This explanation is completely enough to convince mankind.
Including Somo himself.
