Any simple production activity, once it develops a scale, will eventually produce extremely exaggerated results.
Compared to the future ruins where humans were waging war with aliens while secretly planting crops, in the end they only harvested food resources for less than half a year.
The current planting environment in the New World can be described as unprecedentedly healthy.
Except for a cooling natural disaster midway, which destroyed many rice crops that could not tolerate low temperatures, the players on Earth encountered almost no other difficulties from sowing to harvesting.
The seeds have been cultivated in the deep sea for a long time. They are all excellent varieties with high yield and the yield is gratifying.
The land is a large fertile plain, irrigated by a water system, which is far better than the barren and dry depressions and deep valleys in the future ruins.
Including fertilizers, they are no longer simple manure, but chemically synthesized high-quality fertilizers.
The three combined into one, the land output has almost soared to an unbelievable level.
Even if the players on Earth have a large appetite due to the route, this harvest alone is enough to replenish food resources that can be consumed for two years.
“What a long-lost hope. From having nothing to now having a full warehouse, we have been looking forward to it for two years. There are too many people working hard for this, and there are too many people fighting for a mouthful of food and a mouthful of water. Falling in the wasteland, I carefully thought about the journey, more than seven hundred days, it was really not easy.”
There is an indescribable sense of excitement in Musk, even more than when he developed the Epoch Alloy a few days ago.
A full warehouse of food is the greatest confidence for mankind to stand in the wasteland.
If there was a history book recording the wasteland.
So from this moment on October 25th, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar, the extremely dark old Wasteland era will come to a complete end!
A new era is coming!
"You're right. It's really not easy to get to where we are today." Sumo nodded with a smile.
On this great day, even the World Channel was free of quarrels for a long time.
There are speeches congratulating each other and looking forward to the future everywhere.
After seeing too much, it seems that humans have only the last step left to take before ending the game and taking root in the wasteland.
Win the gambling battle and drive away the aliens!
"But there are still more than two months left for the first gambling battle to begin. I don't know what other killer moves the aliens are hiding. There is no news yet. I don't know if we can survive the first time. Take the pressure off.”
After getting excited, Musk quickly calmed down.
"In addition, after the death wave entered the second stage, the size of those undead monsters has become larger and larger recently. According to reports from our testing stations distributed in various places, the current death wave group with a scale of tens of millions has exceeded In the single digits, there are as many as 12, and the million-sized death tide group has also exceeded 300, reaching 317. Although the blood leads these death tide monsters to circle repeatedly, they will still fight with them sooner or later. The human territories are colliding head-on. "
"The four major territories of Golden Eagle, Dragon Flag, Beijing, and Tianyuan had a round of discussions yesterday, and the current decision is to focus on destroying a few that are close to the human territories. The dead tide group, and then use blood to form an isolation zone, see if they can hold on until the two gambling battles are over!"
It is true that gambling is the only way to end the game.
But the challenges facing mankind today are not limited to gambling.
Whether it is fighting wars with alien races or dealing with infected bodies caused by the death wave.
A careless move may lead to an irreversible situation.
Just.
“Is the death tide developing so fast now?” Sumo put away his smile, and his face became more solemn.
The death tide will resurrect all dead creatures and turn them into extremely aggressive infected bodies.
If humans had not migrated to the New World, they would still be in the previous wasteland.
This wave of resurrections may directly summon an army of billions of undead, overwhelming the entire wasteland.
Fortunately, after arriving in the New World, the number of humans killed so far is only 400 million at most.
Even if they are all resurrected, it is also a situation where four humans fight one infected body.
But having said that, after the Death Tide entered the second stage and added the feature of grouping, ordinary territories were still unable to handle it.
Especially the characteristic of being able to absorb the power of destruction, which means that the more you fight, the stronger you become.
Therefore, the special group "Xue Yin" was secretly formed within human beings.
Their mission is very simple. They need to use their lives to seduce the tide of death and go in the opposite direction of human territory.
The initial effect was very good, and it was easy to lead away from the death tide group to the inaccessible wasteland.
However, over time, this method also has disadvantages. It can easily cause the fusion of several death tide groups and develop into levels of hundreds of thousands, millions, or tens of millions!
“The situation is not optimistic. The higher the frequency of blood lures, the easier it is to cause the death tide groups to merge. It is difficult to imagine if the alien race will lead tens of millions of death tides to human territory at this time. What consequences will happen here? Of course, the reason why it is so difficult is because Tianyuan warned us not to use powerful fire weapons, otherwise they will explode without making a sound."
"Why can't we use powerful weapons? A powerful fire weapon?”
Musk had already said this, and Sumo could only pretend not to understand.
The second stage of the Death Tide will absorb the power of destruction to strengthen itself.
Once a large-scale fire weapon is used, some of the death wave monsters can be eliminated, but the more terrifying consequence is that the surviving death wave monsters will absorb the power of destruction in a very short period of time and become more powerful.
Even if all the death tide monsters in this area are eliminated, the remaining power of destruction will continue to attract the death tide monsters in the distance, eventually forming a larger death tide group.
Ten million is not the upper limit.
Once it reaches the 100 million level, no matter how many blood-drawing troops are dispatched, the effect will be minimal.
Therefore, the best solution is to use low-power fire weapons and control the frequency and rhythm to slowly reduce the number of death tide monsters.
As long as the ideal balance can be achieved, monsters will be very easy to deal with.
“We have done a lot of experiments during this period. Since the death tide entered the second stage, this monster will not only absorb the energy that escapes when its companions die, but also absorb the aftermath energy of the explosion. Or according to what Tianyuan said, they can absorb negative energy and become stronger and stronger," Musk said patiently.
“So our exoskeleton armor has a new use. It can not only be used in frontline and alien battles, it is also a good choice for sniping these death tide monsters, which can greatly reduce the number of soldiers. Their casualty rate gives them the ability to fight guerrillas with the Death Tide Group. "
"Of course, the most useful method is the bionic body developed by Tianyuan Territory. They can use a special spiritual link method. Let people remotely control a bionic body to fight and become a real player. Even if it falls in the death wave, the bionic body will not turn into a new monster."
"It's a pity. The technology is so high-end that just hearing the principles makes me dizzy!”
Nearly two months have passed since the last time I teleported back to the territory.
The Real Realm has finally made progress. Can it be used in frontline operations against the death tide?
Sumo's eyes narrowed and he captured the key information from Musk's words.
"Is there any specific video? I want to see it?"
"Yes, we also got the combat video recorded from the first-person perspective."
With the recovery of various technologies, the way humans transmit information has once again returned to modern levels.
Musk took out the tablet he carried with him, verified the permissions, and quickly clicked on two videos.
The first video shows a 100,000-level death wave group, and the main organisms are infected humans. After the detection troops retreated, a giant with a height of four meters and a machete in his hand quickly walked out of the line.
Faced with the vast swarm of death, the giant showed no fear and rushed in with a roar.
Every time he slashed with the big sword, he could basically take away seven or eight infected bodies, and the residual limbs and fragments were flying everywhere.
Although the death tide monsters can occasionally attack giants, most of the traces of attacks left behind cannot even break through the defenses.
The killing lasted for more than half an hour, and after killing almost four thousand death wave monsters, the giant rushed out like a heavily armored tank and returned to the front line.
The maintenance personnel immediately stepped forward and began to repair the damage one by one.
“This is the first bionic body developed by Tianyuan Territory in response to the death tide, and it is named Scavenger.”
"The second one was named by them, Slaughterer!"
As he said that, Musk clicked on the second video.
This is a first person video.
The protagonist of the video is also a bionic body, but his body has been transformed into an exaggerated machine.
The hands are like extremely high-speed chainsaws, and the legs are like tank-like tracks.
As the killers shuttled back and forth among the death tides several times, a death tide group of ten thousand people was easily eliminated.
“So powerful?”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at the lethality that the bionic body could cause.
This bull-like crushing style is really extremely violent, and the infected body cannot resist at all.
According to this cleaning speed, even if there are tens of millions of death waves, it should not be difficult to deal with them, right?
"Cleaning up small-scale death tide groups is really powerful, but as long as the size of the death tide group exceeds 100,000, it will create a signal disruption zone in the surrounding area, similar to the fog disaster we encountered before."
" So bionic bodies can’t deal with large-scale death waves?”
“Yes, so we still need to develop exoskeleton armor that can be used on the battlefield as soon as possible to alleviate the pain caused by these large-scale death waves. Strategic pressure."
"Okay!" Sumo nodded and stopped asking for specific information about the death wave.
The two talked about the progress of the development of exoskeleton armor, and Musk left the research institute in high spirits and rushed to the factory to supervise the operation.
The production of Era Alloy has not been increased yet. Even if armor is developed, there will not be enough raw materials to manufacture it.
So during this period, he lived in the factory almost every day and never relaxed for a moment.
"Only the last two months left"
Sending Musk off, Sumo thought about the remaining time in his heart, and slowly came to the table and sat down.
In the month since he returned from the east, he has not dared to relax or rest for a moment.
In addition to advancing research and development step by step, the rest of the time is spent thinking of ways to earn more survival points.
Fortunately, the autumn harvest came in time.
After the magical modification of the energy stone series of agricultural tools in the future ruins, the points gained in this wave are indeed quite a lot.
Nearly 40,000 points. Adding the previous points, a total of 60,000 special survival points have been accumulated.
This is undoubtedly an unprecedented amount of money.
No matter how calm Su Mo is, he still gets excited every time he opens the system panel and glances at this point.
A smooth autumn harvest is the hope for mankind on earth to persist in the wasteland.
The smooth gathering of soldiers is the hope of the major territories to persevere in the upcoming war.
The smooth acquisition of survival points is his hope of winning his first gambling battle.
“If you extend your head with a knife, it will also be a knife if you shrink your head. It’s time to put an end to this long and cruel wasteland game.”
Sumo reached out and took out the notebook.
Turn over a new page and write down in order: magic, combat, puzzle solving, and survival.
After thinking about it, there are actually only four general directions that aliens can choose in the first gambling scene.
Among them, the difficulty of survival is undoubtedly the lowest.
With the existence of the system, everyone starts with nothing. No matter how fast the aliens are, they may not be able to suppress the humans who have accumulated a lot of survival experience. They are faster but have nearly one million survival points. he.
As long as the foreign race dares to choose this general direction, Sumo is fully confident to replicate the Ten Thousand Paths War again and easily win the first gambling battle.
So this item can basically be ruled out. As long as the aliens have a sound mind, they will definitely not choose to take risks.
And the remaining magic, fighting, and solving puzzles.
Among them, divine magic is undoubtedly the direction that humans are least good at. If the alien race chooses a scene where divine magic is the most important, the participating humans will probably fall into a huge disadvantage at the beginning.
Including Sumo himself, he will not be able to break the situation in a short period of time and can only rely on the mark of the Demon Soul Clan to find opportunities.
However, it is hard to say whether the game will allow alien races to set up competition obstacles so blatantly.
Once the game really allows it, then as long as humans follow suit for the second time and set up a competition scene where technology is respected, the alien races will suffer the same fate.
This is not in line with Wei’s concept of game control, so there is a high probability that it will not happen.
And the other two are combat and puzzle solving.
Solving puzzles is difficult to say, easy to say. Although it is not a direction that humans are good at, it is also not a direction that aliens are best at.
Choosing this option means that both parties are on the same starting line.
Even if the alien race has the first-mover advantage in choosing the scene, it may not necessarily win in the end.
Only fighting remains.
Among the four speculations, this is Sumo's most preferred choice at present, and it is also the choice that is most beneficial to the alien race.
Obviously, he had a strong feeling that the aliens currently stationed at the border were preparing for the first gambling scene, not to launch a final war with humans before the gambling battle.
It's a pity that there is too little information collected at the moment. No matter how hard Somo thinks about it, it is difficult to guess what kind of scene will use these preparations.
