This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 335 Infrastructure Maniac

   Just as the Bull and Horse team followed in the footsteps of Triss and moved towards Camp 101 deep underground, the construction of the new settlement was also in full swing.

   With the wooden planks with the words [Dawn City] on them, the half-collapsed concrete piers were hung up, and the construction plan of the second survivor settlement of the new alliance was officially announced!

  Early before the Battle of Songlinyu, the logistics department of the new alliance, under the advice of the administrator, made a plan for the development of the new settlement.

   A large amount of aid materials had been delivered to the warehouse in Qingshi County by rail. Almost as soon as Chu Guang declared victory in the war, these materials were loaded onto trucks. Before it was completely bright, they drove from the rear to the front line.

  These materials include 2,000 steel axes, 1,600 shovels, and a large number of human transport tools such as bucket trucks, three-wheeled, and two-wheeled trolleys.

   Along with this batch of supplies, there were more than 300 construction workers.

   Many of these people are NPCs who participated in the construction of outposts in the early days, and some of them are professional life players with relevant experience.

   They have rich construction experience and have passed the test of practice, making great contributions to the construction of Dawn City.

  Although land reclamation is a chore, when the Alliance needed them, they still showed up here without hesitation.

   or because of loyalty.

   or a guide to a task...

  …

The    truck is parked at the entrance to the camp.

   Before the car stopped, the person left under the knife jumped out of the car and shouted loudly.

   "Get out of the car, get out of the car, work brothers!"

   "The expansion will end tonight, while you can still earn some points, everyone hurry up and hurry up!"

   "Oli!" Everyone responded energetically, and the young players in the power system jumped out of the truck first and went to the truck that transported the supplies.

   Under the leadership of Brother Knife, they unloaded the materials on the truck, stacked them in different categories, and prepared for the distribution of tools later.

  Although in reality, everyone is reluctant to sweep the ground, but in the game, one or two are all incarnated as Aryan Superman, and one person can't wait to be able to do the work of two cows.

Especially when I heard that construction tasks also have achievements that can be unlocked, and players who meet the conditions can even climb the city monument. As the heroes of Dawn City and those players who have performed outstandingly on the battlefield, they will be remembered together, and the dry batteries of the power system are suddenly high. .

tired?

nonexistent.

   This broken game will sweat, pant, arm will be stiff, and even dull, but it will not feel "uncomfortable".

  Excessive pain sensation will be blocked, and fatigue is not a problem as long as it does not reach the level of fainting.

   Under the command of Brother Knife, a group of players were very busy.

The NPCs next to    saw this scene, and they couldn't help being inspired while admiring it.

   Even those "pampered" blue jackets work so hard, what reason do they have to be lazy? How dare you fish?

  Thinking of this, everyone spontaneously rolled up.

   A total of fifty trucks, with the concerted efforts of everyone, unloaded all the materials in less than half an hour.

   The truck continued to drive towards Qingshi County, ready to tow the second trip.

   At the same time, on the other side of the construction site.

   Maban, who temporarily served as the city lord of Dawn City, met the leader of the aid team next to the wreckage of the viaduct and explained the situation to him.

   "...There are 5,731 registered residents, and more than 10,000 freed slaves will arrive one after another."

   "The priority now is that we need to provide adequate shelter for these people."

   The name of the captain of the aid team is Rudy, who was once the ten captain under Vanus. He was released early due to his good performance in the reform through labor.

After    regained his freedom, the former army officer at the grassroots level did not embark on the journey back to his hometown, but chose to stay and fight for a greater cause and ideal, and started another life as a resident of the new alliance.

  Rudy: "Where's the prisoner of war?"

  Maban: "Still in town."

  The number of prisoners of war is more than 20,000. It will take time to digest these people, and in addition to organize them to build prisoner of war camps, I am afraid that it will not be used in a short time.

   After understanding the situation, Rudy stared at the map for a while, and immediately said.

   "I have a general understanding of the situation here. The construction materials will be delivered before noon. What we need to do now is to clear a construction site as soon as possible. How many people can be used now?"

   Maban replied rigorously.

   "In addition to the wounded, sick, pregnant women and children under 12 years old... We were able to mobilize more than 4,000 people."

   Rudy nodded.

   "Enough, I need them to gather here immediately, and I will arrange specific work for them."

   "Leave it to me!"

   Leaving this sentence, Maban immediately found Wu Chengyi and others, and with the help of the original leadership of the resistance organization, completed the mobilization of the survivors.

  The crowd slowly gathered in the open space beside the wreckage of the viaduct. Among them were soldiers of the Third Corps, young people with bags, even immature-faced children, and rickety old people.

   Almost all of them had malnourished dishes on their faces, but they were much better than a month ago. Although it is not full of energy, at least there is no hesitation and confusion.

   Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Rudy picked up the loudspeaker and said in a loud voice.

   "Time is precious, I'll make a long story short, we have to prepare 1000 emergency housing units before dark!"

   "I need you to lend me your strength!"

   Hearing this sentence, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

  Prepare 1000 housing units before dark?

   Is this guy serious?

   For this whimsical idea, almost all the survivors were full of doubts and whispered to each other.

   didn't explain anything. After Rudy made a simple mobilization, he immediately assigned the task to everyone.

  4,000 people were divided into more than 300 groups, each led by more than 300 foremen, who each performed their duties and devoted themselves to the construction of the settlement.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the survivors of Dawn City quickly cleared the land around the trenches, and used trucks, tricycles, pallets and other means of transport to transport concrete debris and large pieces of garbage to the area. outside the camp.

  As the open space was cleared, sheets of aluminum plates and aluminum alloy brackets were towed over by tricycles and pallet trucks.

   Looking at the materials and tools stacked on the open space, the thin man's face was filled with confusion.

"What is this?"

   His name is Liu Dali, and the Bone-chewing tribe was a farmer before they came here.

   Later, his home was burned down and his wife and children were gone, so he joined the guerrillas and is now a soldier of the Third Corps of the New Alliance.

   Not only did he fail to understand what these things were for, but the other survivors standing beside them did the same, exchanging their gazes in confusion.

   At this time, a foreman of the aid team walked up to them and answered their confusion.

   "These are all building materials for building houses. They can be lived in when they are assembled. Our group has 4 tasks. I will teach you how to do it in a while, and you can learn it soon."

   "Building materials?" Liu Dali was stunned.

   The fellow who was standing beside him did the same, and said in a puzzled way.

   "Can this thing build a house?"

   Even if it is to build a shack, aluminum alloy plates are not enough.

   Facing the suspicious gazes of everyone, the foreman said with a slightly smug smile.

   "This thing is not only for building a house, it is very useful. Stop talking nonsense, come and help."

   Said, he threw the gloves to the crowd, and warned carefully, "Be sure to put this on when you are working, and don't hurt yourself."

   "There are four missions in our group, everyone will work harder and try to finish it before 6 pm! Our captain said that if all the missions can be completed before 6 pm, the whole group will be rewarded!"

   As soon as I heard that there was a reward, everyone's curiosity suddenly rose.

   "What reward?"

   "Crab cakes! One piece per person!"

Meat!

   As soon as they heard the reward, everyone was instantly excited, put on gloves and started working under the arrangement of the foreman.

   The same reward, if it is placed in Dawn City, I am afraid that few people will be moved.

   But this is Xizhou, which is suffering from famine, and a piece of green wheat cake can be regarded as a delicacy.

   Hearing that there is meat to eat, everyone can’t wait to see green light in their eyes, but they only regret that their parents didn’t have two more hands.

  Two aluminum plates stand up on the ground, a bracket stands in the middle, and the connection is fixed with screws and nuts.

   followed by block 3, block 4...

   As the pieces of aluminum plates were spliced ​​together, Liu Dali was quickly surprised to find that a large boxy box had unknowingly appeared in front of everyone.

  The area of ​​this "box" is not small, covering an area of ​​20 square meters, with a floor height of over three meters.

   The bed is a bunk structure with doors and windows. There are 6 beds in a room. Not only is it not crowded at all, but the space is even a little wasteful.

   Looking at the fruits of labor in front of him, Liu Dali was suddenly touched.

  Ever since his home was destroyed and he lost his close relatives, he has been living in a daze, one day counts as one day.

   But now, looking at the house in front of him, he suddenly felt a feeling that he hadn't had in a long time.

   He didn't know how to describe that feeling, or even where it came from, but he could feel that it really existed.

just like……

   A candle lit in the darkness.

   "Don't be stunned," the foreman patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "We still have three jobs left, let's work harder and try to get another one before lunch starts!"

   Hearing the foreman's voice, Liu Dali came back to his senses, put away his excitement, and nodded vigorously.

"okay!"

   It wasn't just Liu Dali's group who completed the first set of tasks.

   Almost all the construction teams on the entire construction site are working with all their strength.

  The first 300 sets of prefabricated parts were assembled, and soon the second batch of materials was sent to the camp's stockpiling area by truck.

   As of 12 noon, there were nearly 500 container-style houses standing on the former barren land.

   Although these houses are a bit simple, the sparrows are small and fully equipped, so there is no problem with sheltering from the wind and rain.

   As for keeping warm, it is only the end of May.

  River Valley is about to experience the hottest three months of the year, and it's too early to worry about it.

   Looking at the magnificent scene in front of them, many people couldn't believe their eyes.

   Especially Yang Duo, who used to be the warehouse manager of Hope Town, was not just surprised.

   is more shocking!

   Originally, in his perception, even if it was an emergency shack, he had to go to the city to pick up some iron sheds, steel bars and concrete blocks. It is impossible for 5,000 people to live under the eaves in three or five days.

   However, the construction plan of the new alliance completely subverted his cognition.

  The prefabricated houses produced from the assembly line are sent to the front line by trucks, and then assembled by workers on site.

   Even ordinary people with no construction experience can complete the assembly of the entire house under the guidance of grassroots construction personnel.

   The whole process takes less than three hours.

   If you are proficient, even two hours is enough.

   is as fast as copy and paste.

   With such massive infrastructure, industry, and mobilization capabilities, it's no wonder they can win this war!

   "How much are these houses... how much?" Wu Chengyi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

   Maban thought for a moment and gave a rough figure.

   "I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the average cost is about 300 silver coins, and the external price is 500 silver coins... equivalent to 2.5 automatic rifles."

   Hearing this sentence, the people around let out exclamations.

   I heard that the per capita monthly income of the new alliance is about 400 silver coins. Does this mean that one month's salary can buy a set?

   This is simply too cheap.

   Looking at everyone's expressions, Ma Ban's face couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

   Although it was only a few months ago that he joined the new alliance, it did not prevent him from being proud of the achievements of the new alliance.

   "A room costs 300 silver coins, and 1,000 is 300,000... Wouldn't it be too wasteful for only 6 people to live in such a big room?" The expression on Yang Duo's face was slightly cramped.

   Although everyone is a family now, but after all, they have just joined this big family.

   He spent so much money on others as soon as he came in, which made him somewhat uneasy.

   saw the thoughts in his heart, Maban didn't explain anything, just smiled and said softly.

"This is mainly for hygiene reasons. Too high density of living can easily lead to infectious diseases. The manager has personally explained to me that even in special periods, the per capita living area should be more than two square meters, and each dormitory should not exceed 6 square meters at most. people."

   "More than that, the lord also instructed me that the emergency housing should only be used as a transition and not to be relied on for a long time. Within three months, we will let all the families in Dawn City live in their own houses!"

   Wu Chengyi and Yang Duo exchanged glances and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

   If it was before, when they were still living in the underground tunnel, when Maban told them this, no one would take it to heart, only thinking that he was painting cakes.

   But now...

   Few would doubt that they could do it.

  Not far away, in the temporary shed, a large pot was set up. The appetizing aroma wafted out of the pot, and almost everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Just when the construction teams were busy, the old and weak women and children who could not do heavy physical work did not sit still. Under the guidance of the logistics staff, lunch was prepared, and children carrying lunch boxes and water bottles shuttled around the construction site. , to deliver lunch to the construction teams.

  Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

As of 6 o'clock in the evening, the construction team not only miraculously completed 1,000 emergency houses, but even exceeded the task, and also brought out the public facilities such as toilets and cisterns that were originally planned to be built the next day. .

  The camp was lively.

   People gathered together and sat around a fire circled by stones.

  The light of the fire reflected the smiling faces. People were eating with bowls, bragging about the world, or talking about their future plans.

  Today's dinner was extra sweet.

   Especially the succulent crab cakes.

   Survivors from Hope Town have never eaten such delicious food!

   Seeing the way his brothers were gobbling up, the foreman who led the team smiled and said with a cowhide.

   "When you have a chance, you can go to Dawn City and see. After you go there, you will know what paradise on earth is."

   A survivor who was working hard raised his head, before swallowing the food in his mouth, he interjected vaguely.

   "I've heard that the crab cakes there are all-you-can-eat!"

   The foreman laughed.

   "Crab cakes? There are more delicious things than crab cakes!"

   Liu Dali swallowed.

"for example?"

   Looking at the pair of longing and anticipating eyes, the foreman's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he continued slowly.

"For example, a bowl of ramen for 4 silver coins, a bowl of spicy sauce fried rice for 3 silver coins, steamed buns for 2 silver coins, various barbecues skewered on wooden skewers, stir-fried dishes in a large iron pan, and the more expensive ones are charcoal-grilled monster steak. …”

   As he spoke, he scolded secretly, and said with a worried expression, "Damn, don't say it, I just said that I was full and hungry!"

   Seeing that the boss didn't say anything, everyone was in a hurry.

"do not."

   "Keep talking."

   "What the **** is that ramen?"

   "And buns."

   "It's too much trouble to explain. I'll say 10,000 sentences, you might as well take a look for yourself."

   put away his bowl, the foreman patted his trouser legs, got up from the ground, and encouraged the brothers sitting in front of the fire.

   "Work hard."

   "Dawn City wasn't built in a day, so is Dawn City. What's there, it will be here sooner or later!"

   by the fire not far away.

   Sitting cross-legged on the ground under the knife to save someone, looking at the pop-up window that appeared on the VM screen, a happy smile finally appeared on his face, and he let out a sigh of relief.

   "You're done!"

  【Task: Complete 1000 emergency buildings (completed)】

  ["Infrastructure Maniac" Achievement Challenge: Complete the task before 6 pm (achieved)]

  Although the task was completed half an hour ago, the acceptance took a little time.

   This game is always very real in strange places.

   "...I heard that this time the prize pool is a lot of fat, and I hope to get some good things." Sitting next to the person left under the knife, Makabazi said expectantly.

   There are no flying missions for the past two days, and there is nothing to do on the farm. He simply came to the front line to score points.

   "What's the jackpot?"

"It hasn't been announced yet. Didn't I know until the expansion was settled?" Putting away the VM, Makabazi suddenly thought of something, looked at the person left under the knife and asked, "By the way, Brother Dao is here. In reality, you are also engaged in engineering?"

   I remember that this guy was the captain of the construction team a long time ago, and now he seems to have unlocked the professional title of "Chief Architect of the New Alliance".

  Leaving someone under the knife said casually: "That's it."

  Makabazi clasped his fists in admiration.

   "Big guy!"

   The one who built the house is undoubtedly the big guy!

  Leaving people laugh and cry under the knife: "You are a hammer, I'm just an idler in the unit, otherwise I won't have time to play games every day."

  Makabazi continued to ask curiously: "But then again, won't you get tired of doing this in the game?"

  Leaving someone under the knife to think for a while, then said with a smile.

"Tired...I don't think so. To be fair, even if I'm in this business in reality, it's impossible for me to design a city, right? And some brain holes that are not used in reality are unexpectedly quite marketable here. , I'm quite happy with it anyway."

   Makabazi couldn't admire it in his heart.

   "Brilliant! As expected of a boss! The pattern is just different!"

   There was a slight cough under the knife.

   "I said I'm not a big guy anymore."

   "The boss is too modest!"

  Makabazi looked up at the sky, got up from the ground, patted the mud on his trousers, sighed and said, "We have to go to work in a while, so let's go first."

  Leaving someone under the knife said with a smile.

   "Go, I'll be down soon, see you on the official website."

   "See you on the official website!"

   said, Makabazi looked at Brother Knife enviously.

   "Hey, I wish I was as free as you are."

  Leave someone under the knife: "..."

  …

  The barracks next to Dawn City.

   Chu Guang, sitting in the barracks, was browsing the report sent by the logistics department through the VM.

  The construction of Dawn City went very smoothly. The construction team completed a thousand emergency houses in only one day.

  The electrification of the new alliance is high, and many tools rely on the grid.

  Although a batch of firewood-burning trucks was seized from the looters, most of the trucks in the new alliance were mainly self-produced "electric mules".

   Although this kind of electric truck is easy to use, it cannot work off the grid for a long time.

   There is also a player's save point, which is also a big power consumer. There is no generator on the front line, and the power supply has to rely on the battery of the truck.

   "...If only the reactor could be repaired as soon as possible."

   After reading the report of the logistics department from the beginning to the end, Chu Guang thought for a moment, then reached out to pick up the earphone and put it on, and said.

   "Little Qi."

   A vibrant voice came from his ears.

   "I am here, Master."

  Chu Guang: "Notify Luca for me, and let him prepare five firewood generators to send here as soon as possible, and the power is required to be above 100KW."

  Xiaoqi said energetically: "Received! Leave it to me!"

   Communication ends.

  Chu Guang was about to get up and go out to eat something.

   At this moment, a line of communication request pop-up window popped up at the top of the VM screen.

   Seeing that the call was from Lu Bei, Chu Guang did not hesitate, and immediately pressed the connect button, skipping the greeting and going straight to the topic.

   "How's the situation on your side? Have you seen the residents of Vault 101?"
