This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 184 The Ark Project

   [Announcement on all servers: Manager "Dawning" has completed the takeover of Vault 117, and a new base "Vault 117" has been added to the VM map. 】

  【The "Garden Street Subway Platform" map is open: the intertwined subway network is a symbol of Qingquan's prosperity in the past, but now it has become a breeding ground for xenogeneic and slime molds. Eaters, crawlers, martyrs, and even terrifying tyrants, barbarians living in the underground and rats that spread the plague... There is no concept of night and day, the unique ecological environment, and the risk factor will be on the surface double! However, at the same time, there may also be unexpected treasures hidden in this labyrinth connected to the abyss...]

  【Warm reminder from Xia Yan: I once lost a leg here. If you must explore this place, it is best to take your teammates with you, at least you can have a company when you are on the road. 】

   About half an hour after the manager entered Vault 117, almost all players with VMs received this series of reminders at the same time.

   "Damn it! A new map has been opened!?"

   "The underground labyrinth connected to the abyss is okay... I don't think it's dangerous here."

   "That's because all the xenos here have been cleaned out. You think Brother Mole is busy here this week."

   "By the way, what kind of garbage can you pick up in the subway?"

   "Maybe it's a strategic reserve before the war? But it's been two centuries. I always feel that even if there is such a thing, 80% of it has been patronized long ago."

   "Is there a team to start? Wait for a perception of the physique system."

   "Send a yarn, what time is it! Tomorrow, at least let me go back and save a file. It's not easy to gain some experience."

   "Hey, if you die once, you will lose all your progress that day. This death penalty is so real!"

   in the tunnel.

   Watching the VM's Fang Chang cut to the map page, and after finding the icon of Vault 117, he stretched out his index finger and pointed.

   He was slightly stunned when he saw the sub-page that popped up on the screen.

  【

   Base Name: Vault 117

   Base Level: Ruins (LV0)

   Prosperity: 0

  Industrial Index: 0

  Business Index: 0

  Requirements: None

   Tendency: Exploration (revenue from scavenging tasks +10%), hunting (revenue from hunting tasks +10%)

  】

   "The data card of Vault 117 has been updated..."

   Hearing Elder Fang's voice, Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened the map, then a surprised expression appeared on his face.

   "What the hell? Will the data card also be swiped at 0 prosperity?"

  If I remember correctly, you have to reach 100 prosperity points to become a survivor base. And here, let alone prosperity, there is not even a single NPC.

   Gu Feng also noticed the change in the map, and after a moment of contemplation, he gave a guess.

   "Perhaps the Refuge is a special existence? Look at the level column, it says 'Remains'."

   Fang Chang nodded, agreeing with his analysis.

   "Well, whether it's an outpost or a long-term farm, the sign in the level column is "village". Maybe it's because the growth route of the refuge is different from the regular survivor base."

   For example, as a save point for the entrance to the underground labyrinth?

   As for what it is, we can only know it after the announcement on the official website comes out.

  …

   Retaining Vault 117 was a decision made by Chu Guang after careful consideration.

   Although the area of ​​Refuge No. 117 is a bit small, the sparrows are small and complete, including full-cycle life support facilities, and the configuration of a three-digit refuge is readily available here.

   Reactor flameout is a problem, but not a big one.

   Even if you can’t make full use of the functions of this shelter, it’s good to use it as a bridgehead for players to explore the underground world.

  The underground transportation in Qingquan City extends in all directions, which can not only commute to various urban areas of Qingquan City, but also connect with many civil air defense facilities.

  The only trouble is the aliens wandering in the subway tunnels.

   But in fact, when Chu Guang removed VM from the arm of the former manager of Vault 117, he realized that this kind of entanglement was unnecessary.

   Because soon, he received a task reminder from the Refuge System.

  【Task: Refuel the thermonuclear fusion reactor in Vault 117】

  【Reward: The highest (administrator) authority of Vault 117】

   Looking at the task pop-up window that appeared in the field of vision, Chu Guang couldn't help but complain.

   "Where the **** am I going to find the fuel rods for the reactor?"

The fuel rods used in the    Refuge's reactor are not the same size as those used on the Trailblazer.

   In other words, expecting to recover fuel rods from carbon dioxide traps is not a problem.

   The wrench who followed Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, feeling confused by what the manager suddenly said.

"grown ups?"

"……nothing."

   Looking at the VM recovered from the manager of Vault 117, Chu Guang put it on himself and waited for a while, and finally recovered a little power.

  VM boot.

  What comes into view is the original operating system of the vital signs monitor, which retrieves the data stored in the black box and finds that the previous manager died of an overdose of sleeping pills.

  The desk was clean, with only three things, a pen holder with two pens in it, a diary with a brown cover, and an empty goblet.

  Chu Guang rummaged on his desk, and soon found an unsealed medicine bottle in the drawer.

   Looking at the corpse reclining on the office chair, Chu Guang could roughly make up his mind that the previous generation of managers sat here, took an overdose of sleeping pills, drank a glass of wine, and waited quietly for death.

   His eyes fell on the diary on the table, Chu Guang reached out and picked it up, and opened the cover which was covered with a thick layer of gray.

  The title page reads—

   [To the scavengers of the ruined world, the archaeologists of the ruins of Utopia, and the people who clean up the mess. 】

   [The manager of Vault 117, the gravekeeper of Utopia - Seven Willard is buried here. 】

  【The most desperate tragedy is to witness the end of a great era. A year in the tomb is no different from a hundred years, and I decided to send myself away after the mission was over. If my body is still alive, please find a place to bury it for me, you can take everything here, I won't be able to use it anyway. 】

   "What do you mean after the mission is over?" The index finger moved gently along the line, and Chu Guang fell into contemplation.

   Maybe because of "Blood Hands Diary", when he saw something like a diary now, he couldn't help but think of the first-generation manager of Vault 404.

The    recording seems to mention that he was the pioneer of the great route and the most learned man in the old world.

  This diary appears here, could it also originate from an arrangement two centuries ago?

   There are still some undecrypted data in the recovered VM, including this diary, which Chu Guang intends to take back to study.

   There are three doubts that remain unresolved.

   What is the mission of the manager of Vault 117?

  Where did the people here go?

   And who is the employer of Captain Pritt?

   The last two questions may be answered from the first question.

   Gathering the clues, Chu Guang looked at the wrench standing beside him.

   "I'll take off the exoskeleton in a while, and you'll put it on for me."

The    wrench was slightly stunned.

   "What about you?"

   Looking at the power armor standing aside, Chu Guang's mouth curled into a smile.

   "I have it."

  …

   Subway tunnel.

   Entrance to Vault 117.

   When the manager passed through the alloy giant gate and came out of Vault 117, it caused quite a commotion among the players.

  The dark blue paint, angular lines, and heavy armor, you can feel the oppressive feeling just by looking at it!

   "Brilliant! Our manager has changed equipment again!"

   "Mom... This power armor is too handsome!"

   "If you don't understand, ask, is this a warm-up for the NPC shop to put on the power armor?"

   "Strongly request the official launch of a set of the same type of power armor! I bought it so much!"

   "Don't think about it, even if you can buy this SSSR grade equipment, 80% of it will be put in the gashapon for you to draw."

   "Woooooo, I beg the officials to quickly fix the bugs that cannot be recharged!"

   took a look at the power armor set on the manager's body, and then took a look at the beggar version on his own body, and Lao Bai had an envious expression on his face.

   In fact, in all fairness, the defense of this armor on him is not weak, and the 20mm steel plate is enough to resist the shooting of ordinary bullets, which is sufficient in most cases.

   However, compared with this set on the manager, he is still a younger brother. Whether it is defense or mobility, it has been completely destroyed by more than one rank.

   "Hey, I don't know when our manager will change the equipment."

   He had no other pursuits, so he pointed at the equipment that the manager had eliminated.

   Hearing this sentence, Ye Shi's heart moved and he asked.

   "Speaking of which, what about the exoskeleton before the manager?"

   Gu Feng glanced in the direction of the entrance of Vault 117 and said.

   "It looks like it's on the captain of the guard."

  Old Bai: "Hey!"

Isn't    usually auctioned to Boss Xia?

   Why did you transfer it directly to other NPCs this time?

   This is too real!

   stopped in the tunnel, Chu Guang looked back at the wrench behind him.

   "I need you to transfer two people from the guards to set up a camp here, responsible for maintaining order here, and at the same time issue tasks to the 'player'."

   "No problem, my lord," after a pause, Wrench said cautiously, "but... we may not have enough manpower."

   There were only fifteen guards.

   These people not only have to be responsible for the security of the outpost, but also take care of the long-term farm. In addition, a new gathering point has recently been opened, and now there is a serious shortage of manpower.

   After listening to the words of the wrench, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"When I go back, I will tell Luca to recruit some new people from Bate Street and the refugee camp, and gradually expand the formation of the guard from the original 15 to 45. When the time comes, you will go with him, at Check the quality for him."

  Wrench said respectfully.

   "Yes, my lord."

  …

   After returning to the shelter.

  Chu Guang made a data card for his new equipment according to the instruction manual of the power armor and updated it in the official website database.

   is not for showing off, but mainly for making cakes for players.

  【Equipment: Power Armor

  Model: "Order" P-10A Carlos Industrial Security Power Armor.

   Durability: 100%

   Armor: 100%

  Energy: 79%

  Shield: 0

  Net weight: 1100kg.

   Left Arm: Basic Armor.

   Right Arm: Basic Armor.

   Chest: 70mm Lightweight Composite Steel/Ceramic Lined Curved Armor

  Back: "Raptor-1" supercharged thruster X2

  Left Leg: "Raptor-1" booster

   Right leg: "Raptor-1" booster thruster

  Energy Core: "Hippo-1" Portable Fusion Reactor

  Coating: Klein Blue

  Plugins: None

  】

   It weighs more than one ton, and it can no longer be operated when it is turned off. Basically, this thing consumes power as long as it is worn.

   However, this power armor has an adjustable energy-saving mode, which allows the wearer to reduce the energy consumption of the power armor by providing part of the driving force through muscles at the expense of reducing mobility.

  Chu Guang's current strength attribute is 17, which is equivalent to 3.4 times the strength of a normal adult male, more than enough to carry 3.4 of his own weight.

   In addition, the power armor is designed with the characteristics of an unpowered exoskeleton. In fact, driving the power armor to move is not as physically demanding as imagined.

   The added weight should be physical training.

   Of course, for Chu Guang, the harvest of this "Huayuan Street Subway Station Operation" is not only the power armor set, but also the 200 reward points for completing the branch line.

   There is also a black box that Dr. Principle entrusts to the manager of Vault 117!

   caressed the black box with both hands, Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang excitedly and said.

   "S-Class Relic!"

  Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

   "S-class relic? What do you mean."

  Yin Fang took a deep breath and continued.

"I should have mentioned to you once before that, in order to facilitate the development of the pre-war technology recycling work, the college will recycle the waiting list in the 'blueprint' according to factors such as the difficulty of technological remodeling, the number of related projects, the total amount of data, and the application value. Projects are managed in seven FEDCBAS tiers to ensure high-priority projects receive higher budgets and staffing. This tier system is used not only to rank technologies, but also to rank relics and relics of pre-war civilizations. rating."

   Looking back at the black suitcase in front of him, Yin Fang said in disbelief.

   "Like this thing."

   "The 'black box' of the Ark Project is undoubtedly an S-class relic."

  Chu Guang frowned and said, "What is the Ark plan?"

"Another civilization preservation program parallel to the Refuge program, which assumes that under extreme conditions, social production comes to a complete standstill and supply chains are completely disrupted, we need a simple and convenient production tool that can make use of ubiquitous raw materials, Produce what we need."

"The 'black box' is the product of the Ark Project. Based on the most advanced printing technology, it only needs to input the most basic materials and electricity to create a specific product. For example, the most common black box, the size is about 30X30X20cm, only need to input Electricity, placed in the air, can absorb carbon dioxide and moisture in the air to synthesize starch. A little more advanced, carbon dioxide and water can be directly synthesized into barbecue-flavored pizzas and cakes.”

  Chu Guang said in surprise: "Can you even do such a thing?"

Yin Fang: "Of course, it is the crystallization of social technology before the war. It is like a wishing machine that responds to every request! Although its efficiency is not high, it is absolutely reliable. The only disadvantage is that it has a single function. What is given to you depends not on your wishes, but on what function its designer has given it."

  Chu Guang looked at the black box in front of him.

   "What about this black box? What can I get out of this?"

Yin Fang: "I don't know, these two Century Colleges have probably recovered hundreds of boxes, and the only ones I have ever come across are synthetic cakes and pizzas. But the size of this box seems to be M size... synthetic pizzas and cakes. It is unlikely. Do you want to open it? There are usually fool-like tutorials in it, the kind that can be understood by people who can’t read and hear, just look at it and find out.”

  Chu Guang did not answer, but directly entered the password on the box.

  【X1179】

   He is very sensitive to numbers. Basically, he can remember it after reading it once, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

   With a light click, the lock was opened.

  Yin Fang was even more anxious than Chu Guang, and couldn't wait to open the box.

Standing behind Yin Fang, Chu Guang noticed that the structure of the box is very simple. There are only a few buttons that can't be simpler, and a power port that is probably used for plugging in, and a stuffing designed like a drawer. mouth.

The    instruction manual is placed in the groove next to the button.

   There are some simple and easy-to-understand sketches drawn on it, as Yin Fang said, even the illiterate can easily understand it.

   It seems that the designers of the Ark Project even considered the possibility that the survivors of the war might become illiterate.

   unfolded the manual and glanced at it twice, the expression of interest on Yin Fang's face became stronger and stronger, and he was amazed.

   "Neural connection unit! It integrates two parts of neural signal collector and modem, including three C-level technologies and two D-level technologies... This is a good thing."

  Chu Guang: "Do you know how to use it?"

   "Of course! I'm an expert at this!"

   With a confident smile on his face, Yin Fang put down the manual and looked at Chu Guang, and said excitedly.

   "With this thing, we can make some simple exoskeletons and mechanical prosthetics!"

  …

  Official website forum:

   "Hey! Does Mengxin have no human rights?"

   "Too bad, I was fighting monsters, and the screen went black!"

   "I fainted, I thought it was a bug! After a long time, I was attacked!"

   "That's right, the resurrection takes three days, which is too embarrassing!"

   Complaining about the resurrection CD is a Nikkei post on the forum.

   There have been a lot of people on the server recently. Every day, there are one or two unlucky people who were either bitten by a dog in the hunting ground in the Elm District or dragged into the water while fishing by the lake.

   Almost all Mengxin who died for the first time have complained that the death penalty of the Wasteland OL is too severe, but this time, 15 people died at one time, which is a little more.

   As for the old players, and the cloud players who are OB on the forum, they have long been accustomed to these kinds of posts that are not nutritious.

   What are three days?

  It's really a pattern!

   When the last time the expansion had a bug, the entire expansion was not online!

  Tomato Scrambled Eggs: "This game is like this, Mo Fa. There are no bugs, so be lucky."

  Irena: "+1, authenticity is one of the selling points of wasteland OLs, it's good that the planning didn't let you reincarnate, don't play if you're upset. (funny

Ye Shi: "You newcomers, this time it's a plot kill anyway, the deduction is waived, and you complain about a hammer! Do you know how much we deducted at the beginning? 500 contribution! The first crow boss who eats crabs is punished and cried. (funny

  Yow: "How can there be!!! Don't talk nonsense! ヾ(｀Д)彡"

   Elf King Fugui: "I testify! What I eat is not crabs, but leeches. (Funny

  Crow: ╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"

  …

   A herd of cattle and horses.

   As usual, it is only lively in the early morning, because at night, the group owner and the dog management are playing games.

   But at this moment, a line of news suddenly popped up in the group.

  Old Bai: "I was going to log in to the game just now, why can't I log in all of a sudden???"

  The group owner can't go to the game?

   This is big news.

  I was bragging about Ye Shi with my group friends, and hurriedly typed and asked.

   "Can't get on? What's the situation?!"

   "The helmet prompts... the character is abnormal, and no specific time is given." Lao Bai said nervously, "Damn, isn't it illegal?"

impossible.

   He played carefully, let alone attacking NPCs, he was a friendly bunch!

   Gale: "I tried it just now, and I can still climb here."

  Ye Ten: "+1, me too."

  Old Bai: "Damn, it's weird, could it be a bug?"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "I'll replace you with Brother Aiteguang! @光"

  Aguang was probably working overtime and did not reply.

   This old man doesn’t seem to use his hands very much. He has always logged in on the computer. Only during the period from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning, there is a chance of bubbling.

  The group came up with bad ideas for Lao Bai.

  Some group friends suggested that he soak his helmet in water to see if it would be better.

   At this time, Fang Chang's heart moved, and he said.

   "Old Bai, how much was your experience bar before you went offline?"

  Old Bai: "Experience bar? Wait a minute, I'll check it out on the official website."

   didn't wait long, Lao Bai came back soon.

   "The case is solved."

   Ye Shi immediately typed and asked.

   "What? What solved the case?!"

  Old Bai: "Hey, I just checked, my character is level ten!"

   There is a bug in the mission design, which has been revised. The B3-level authority needs to fully explore Vault 117. I only paid attention to it when I turned the outline, and almost missed the branch here.
