This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 414 Terrifying Infrastructure Ability

   Night falls.

  Boulder City, the center of the inner city.

   On the top floor of the jet-black building, in the spacious room, a man in formal suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the silent night sky to the north.

  Last year, at almost the same time and in the same direction, those from the east coast detonated a tactical nuclear bomb on the northern outskirts of Qingquan City.

   And now, those people are visiting here again.

"time flies."

   Staring at the reflection on the floor-to-ceiling window, the man thought thoughtfully in his heart.

   Once time becomes insignificant, the speed of passing will be unimaginable.

   Whether it is because you are rich enough to spend freely, or because yesterday is not much different from tomorrow.

   This is the curse of time on the long-lived.

   However, recently, the situation has changed a little. Before he noticed, a sprout appeared on the ruins not far away.

  Two centuries.

  This humble city has never been so lively...

   heard footsteps behind him, and stopped at the door.

   The man didn't turn his head, turned his back to the man at the door, and asked in a very soft voice.

   "Have you seen the manager?"

   Zhao Yongxu, who was standing at the door, leaned over slightly, his angular face was full of respect and piety.

   "Yes, my lord."

   The man then asked.

   "What kind of person is he?"

   Zhao Yongxu answered without hesitation.

   "Hypocrisy! Cunning! A careerist who is good at intrigue! I don't know what method he used to get those people on the east coast to play around, but we won't be fooled by them!"

The    man nodded, his expression could not tell whether he believed or doubted.

   Or, just indifference.

   After thinking for a moment, the man continued to ask.

   "What did they say about our proposal?"

   took a peek at his back, Zhao Yongxu repeated the results of the negotiation with cautious words, without any added fuel.

  The man quietly heard the end from the beginning and nodded slowly.

   "Well, I see, you go down first."

"Yes."

   Zhao Yongxu bowed his head respectfully, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't ask any more questions, turned around and exited the room.

   When talking with this adult, there is always a long wait, sometimes a few short sentences, but inadvertently elapse of several hours.

   It also made him feel like his time was being stolen.

   The room was quiet again.

  The man waited quietly for a while, stretched out his index finger, and tapped the floor-to-ceiling window with his fingertips.

  Digital ripples spread all around, and the reflected night sky turned into a screen.

   And the picture on the screen is the chairman's office of Jushi Military Industry.

   seems to expect the call to come to him, Ebers, chairman of the giant stone military industry, is standing respectfully at the desk.

   "Dear Master Fang Ming... It's so late, do you have any orders?"

   The man meditated like a still picture, and said slowly after a while.

   "I need you to upgrade the radar system of Boulder City, the coverage will reach 500 kilometers, and the recognition efficiency will be improved by one level..."

   "...and, upgrade the android's weapons and fire control systems."

   Actually, there was no need to do so.

   You don't need those high-tech weapons against slime molds.

   However, at this moment, Qingquan City is experiencing changes unseen in a century.

   Although he designed the power structure of this building a long time ago, as well as the selection of elite promotion systems from wastelanders, this system is not always reliable.

   In the final analysis, the gears that make up this system are people, and people are too fragile in the face of time.

  He needs to do some planning ahead.

   After listening to the man's words, Ebers said respectfully.

   "It's not difficult, but... I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

   The man replied in a normal tone.

   "It doesn't matter, I will inform the militia and the representatives of the residents of the outer city."

   For him at the top of power, money is just a number.

   Hearing the promise of Lord City Lord, Ebers showed a happy smile on his face and nodded respectfully.

   "As ordered."

  …

   North of Dawn City.

  On the edge of Linghu Wetland Park, Lao Bai and his party who came back from the city center are heading back towards the resurrection point.

   Today's harvest is very good.

   On the back of the big mechanical dog following the four of them, he carried a burden that was completely disproportionate to his size, and contained all the evolutionary bodies they recovered from the city center.

   Includes the remains of the Decayed Knight!

   That guy was holding a chainsaw that was removed from somewhere, and the wreckage of the power armor was covered with dark red creep.

   Generally, a 7mm bullet hits it like a ticklish tickling. At most, some bacterial blocks will be scraped down. The armor-piercing projectile fired by the RPG cannot touch it at all, and it will be smashed by it with a chainsaw.

   The four of them watched it rush up, Lao Bai decisively pulled out the "black cut", opened the boundary breakthrough, and swung it directly with an axe.

  The blunt blade of the molten cutting axe flashed red arcs.

   In the flash of lightning, everyone saw sparks flying everywhere, and a crimson crack was printed on the armor of its waist.

  The hot air flow carried the high-temperature metal fragments and poured directly into the abandoned power armor, destroying the organic tissue inside the evolutionary body.

   Seeing that the attack was effective, Lao Bai took advantage of the iron lump to lose his balance, and then he slashed horizontally and vertically with two axes, until it stopped moving.

   The rotten knight who killed half of the Storm Corps at the beginning was killed by him alone with the bonus of his equipment.

   Such an awesome melee artifact, the manager didn't stay and use it by himself, which was beyond Lao Bai's expectations.

  According to Fang Chang's calculations, the materials they recycle today can add up to at least 8,000 silver coins, and the contribution points of the task can also be divided into about 500 points per person.

   For everyone who runs the Niu Ma Brick Factory, the silver coins for quest rewards are actually not that attractive. The key is the occupation level of the scientific research team and the contribution points of the quest rewards.

   Especially the latter.

   At present, the contribution points of Fangchang, Kuangfeng and Ye Thirteen have exceeded 90,000.

   The top priority is to brush everyone's contribution points to more than 100,000 as soon as possible, and upgrade the citizen level to "Knight".

  Although the power armor in the NPC shop is out of stock, a new map will be opened soon, and there is a high probability that a new batch of power armor will be available.

   Time to spend money again!

   "Damn, when did Fang Chang's dog become like spring water?"

   glanced at his burnt-out chemical protective suit and body armor, and Ye Shi looked at the power wing suit tucked up on Fang Chang's back, and couldn't help but let out an envious voice.

   Fang Chang laughed and said calmly.

   "I'm a bit more careful when playing adc, do I top the front line like T?"

   Although there are some scratches on his body, they were all accidentally made when trying out the power wing suit at first, which is undoubtedly much more optimistic than his three good brothers.

   I have to say that the black technology produced by the shelter is really awesome.

   At first, he was worried that he would not be able to play with this equipment without flying experience, but he soon found that his concerns were completely superfluous.

   After connecting to the control interface of the VM, his power wing suit can not only set the cruise path, but also switch multiple flight modes such as gliding and slow landing.

  The 12 sensors distributed on the wing can sensitively capture obstacles within 200 meters, and plan the best avoidance path according to the algorithm of the built-in chip.

  Thanks to this power wingsuit, it provides him with an excellent output environment.

  Although there are not many aliens that can fly and attack from a long distance, they are few after all. With flexible maneuvering, he can launch attacks from any angle in an open environment.

  Ye Ten: "Damn it! I'm also an ADC, okay?"

   Gu Feng gave him a sideways look: "Isn't the perception system an auxiliary?"

  Ye Ten: "#@￥!"

   While exchanging the experience accumulated in the battle, everyone walked towards the resurrection square, planning to save the equipment and take a shower.

   The black slime spewed out by the slime mold is extremely foul, like a rotting corpse. Although this game can block the extreme pain, it cannot block the unbearable sour smell.

   Especially the old white who was in the front row, the whole person was like rolling in a mud pit, making it impossible for people to get close.

not far away.

   A petite figure was standing on the edge of the Resurrection Square, with worry written all over his face, and his neck stretched out to look around.

   Finally saw the familiar figure, a surprise flashed in her eyes, and she trotted up immediately.

   Fang Chang also saw her, and subconsciously threw the equipment in his hand to Ye Shi who was beside him, and took the initiative to meet her and give her a hug.

  Two arms wrapped around the back of his beloved's neck, looking at the scarf around his neck, Dolly's mouth curled into a sweet arc.

   "...Didn't you say leave for a while, why did you come back so late?" She murmured softly, hanging like a bear climbing a tree, unwilling to come down.

   It was really late.

   Thinking that he promised Dolly in the morning and came back to have dinner with her, Fang Chang's face couldn't help but show a hint of apology.

"sorry, I--"

  's voice was blocked by a soft touch.

   Dolly stood on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on the lips.

   That faint shyness is vivid under the street lights, like the first red in early autumn. There is no dazzling dazzling mountains and fields, but people can't take their eyes off.

   "I hope my waiting isn't an apology...just come back safely."

   may be due to the living environment.

  Perhaps the life of the people here is as short as the morning dew, and it is too late to be euphemistic.

   Looking at the sincerity and heat that flickered on that green face, Fang Chang felt a little embarrassed.

   "...There are too many people here."

   A sly smile appeared on Dolly's face.

   Suddenly, she brought the tip of her nose close to her ear, which was close to her ear, like a kitten teasing its prey, and snorted softly.

   "That's right, let everyone see that you are mine—"

The voice of    has not fallen.

   Fang Chang suddenly squatted down, his shoulders pressed against his soft abdomen, and he lifted her up.

   Her feet suddenly left the ground, and Dolly let out a short, light cry like a frightened little animal.

  's face was flushed red to the base of her ears, and the tips of her emerald green hair ended up. She didn't know where to put her hands, she whispered.

   "You...what are you doing all of a sudden."

   "Bring you home!"

go home……

  Is this what home feels like?

   Feeling the warm and firm shoulders, Dolly's shy face was filled with sweetness, she bit her lip lightly, and hummed, but stopped talking.

  The two were silent in tacit understanding and disappeared under the street lights in the square.

  Leaving only a group of single dogs with envy, jealousy and hatred, standing in the same place eagerly.

   threw the equipment to Gu Feng, Ye Shi covered his eyes with his hands, and his whole body twisted like an earthworm.

   "Ah ah ah! The dog's square is so long, and I'm still a dog's eye!"

   Although Gu Feng didn’t have any exaggerated actions, the expression on his face was equally subtle.

   "Everything is good, the main thing is to see the shy look on this guy's face... My toes dig out four rooms and one hall."

   It's not too hot for eyes.

   It's just that this guy was calmly analyzing tactics with them one second ago, discussing teamfight cooperation and the use of equipment, and the next second he instantly became a shy little daughter-in-law.

   This contrast made him a little unacceptable.

   Lao Bai, who was standing next to him, laughed and patted the brothers on the shoulders.

   "Okay, the couple just got together. Isn't it normal for you to be with me? If you can't watch it anymore, just close your eyes, and you'll get used to it after a couple of days."

  Ye Shi still had an uneasy expression on his face, sighed and said, "Hey, damn... It's a real loss for him to sell this game for no charge!"

   Lao Bai said with a smile.

"If you're envious, go to learn people's language, or find someone in reality. You don't say how many people are chasing you... Let's go, let's avoid the hardship and take a bath. Damn, that iron lump is all over my body. ,stinky!"

   Ye Shi's expression changed instantly, and he quickly avoided Old Bai's arm.

   "Fuck! Don't get on me!"

"Hahaha!"

not far away.

   Mosquito poked the button in the upper left corner of the VM screen with his index finger with envy and hatred, and his fingers were about to break.

   "Damn... why is it useless!"

   happened to pass by, Irena, who was holding a handful of roasted mantis legs, said with a funny face.

   "The player's manual only says to abide by the laws of the alliance and prohibit harassment, and it doesn't say that you will be castrated. You call Aguang to use a hammer."

   "I don't care, unless you give me one too!"

   Irena had a subtle expression and held out the skewer in her hand.

   "Then I can't help... Do you want one?"

   Mosquito was instantly alert: "What is this?"

  Irena smiled embarrassedly.

   "Mantis legs, caught today, just baked. By the way, the guy's head is still purple. It's a big one. I've never seen it before. It should be a rare breed... I don't know if I can add a buff."

   "Ouch—!"

   Before Lao Na could finish her words, Mosquito had already retched while holding on to the big tree.

  …

   The next morning.

   North of Dawn City.

  After a night of rest, the corporate aid to the alliance officially began.

  Two sets of engineering equipment from Ideal Group took the lead in completing the assembly, showing the technical strength of the East Coast to the onlookers who eat melons.

  Stand next to the halfway repaired road.

  The chief architect of the alliance kept his eyes wide open, looking at the two pieces of engineering equipment and shouting out the scumbag.

   "What the **** is this?!"

  The mobile crushing station with four tracks is like a walking bunker, covering an area of ​​fifty or sixty square meters.

   In front of it stood a huge bucket, and the teeth on the edge were like the teeth of the huge mouth of the abyss, shattering the concrete debris in front of it and rolling it into its belly.

   The silver tank on the back kept rolling, making a deafening roar. After a series of processes, the hydrated concrete **** was re-decomposed into cement slurry that could be used again.

  Behind this guy, there is also a uniquely shaped road roller, one large and one small rollers are arranged at the front and rear ends, a full six meters wide, carrying a boxy platform.

  I saw the engineering behemoths with four tracks and two rollers, one after the other, slowly advancing forward.

   is responsible for "eat" in front.

The    behind is responsible for "pulling" and "pressing".

  As the two engineering beasts drove past, a straight and flat road was like their footprints, printed on the roadbed weathered by the years.

  Although the quality of the project remains to be considered, as an emergency supply line, this is already many times better than the rotten land on the wasteland!

   What the current alliance needs is not a road that can be used for 50 years, but a road that can be used immediately.

   stood next to the onlookers under the knife, and his eyes were straight.

   This simple and rude construction method completely subverted his cognition.

Do not……

   Not to mention the construction method.

   The technology that restores the hydrated concrete into cement that can be used again is already cool enough, right?

   If there is such a convenient technology, there is no need to worry about the concrete waste generated by demolition of buildings, and it will instantly turn waste into treasure!

   Just when the civil engineering dogs were making a fuss, Li Changkong, who was standing not far away, was holding a tablet in his hand, debugging the operating parameters of the equipment.

   After finishing the work at hand, he looked at the alliance manager beside him and said.

"The highway from Qingquan City to Ruigu City is 169 kilometers long. The highway we chose to restore is Provincial Highway 1704. The quality of the project is definitely not up to the pre-war standard, but it is still more reliable than the cement road you are using now. of."

   "A batch of equipment will be delivered here in the future, including asphalting the road, etc... The completion time is expected to be from mid-August to the end of August."

   The time is now early July.

   Calculated by mid-August, which is 45 days?

   169 kilometers of roads in 45 days, 3.75 kilometers in one day? !

  Chu Guang just made a rough calculation, and was immediately shocked by this amazing speed.

  Under the condition that the production capacity of the steel plant was increased to the maximum and thousands of prisoners of war were launched, the speed of the alliance laying the railway was barely able to reach 3 kilometers a day.

  This high-speed repair is faster than the railway!

   Open something!

   Seeing that Chu Guang did not speak, Li Changkong paused and continued.

   "Although the concrete waste required for construction can be obtained locally, there will still be a 17-30% material gap. This part will require your people to help collect and transport it."

   "Of course, in order to shorten the construction period, we will try our best to provide you with some convenient tools, such as the 'Miner' series of exoskeletons and so on."

  Recovered from the surprise, Chu Guang coughed lightly and nodded seriously.

   "Don't worry, the most important thing in Qingquan City is concrete waste. We will solve the gap of materials! By the way... This big guy, can you get two more?"

  Li Changkong was slightly stunned.

   "Are two not enough?"

   "To be precise, one road is not enough," Chu Guang continued without blushing, "Our industrial area is in Qingshi County and Xizhou City, which is the north of the alliance, and your space base is also there."

"However, there is only one railway line from there to Dawn City. In addition to military materials, we also have to take into account the transportation of civilian materials. Although we have also built cement roads, we have just built them to the area of ​​Yuanxi Town, and the supply efficiency is very problematic! "

   Hearing what Chu Guang said, Li Changkong tapped his index finger on the screen and switched to the map of Xizhou City.

   stared at the map for a while and said, rubbing his chin.

   "This is indeed a problem. How much water can hold in a bucket depends on the shortest piece of wood. We will find a way to help you solve it... Are there mountains?"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Well, that area is mostly hilly, can it be done?"

  Li Changkong pondered for a moment and said.

   "...I'm afraid the construction will be a little difficult. These two sets of equipment are only suitable for use on the plains."

   Without waiting for the manager to show an embarrassed expression, Li Changkong continued to speak with a faint smile on his face.

   "However, we also have engineering equipment that can be used on hills in our inventory... When the aircraft is fully charged, I will send a batch from the headquarters."

   "Besides, your railway transportation is too inefficient. I'll find a way to help you improve it a little."

   Hearing these words, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

   "Really? I'm so sorry!"

  Li Changkong smiled and waved his hand.

   "You're welcome, we are allies on the same front."

   Even if it is not for the sake of allies, he will win this "business" for the company.

   With the passage of Resolution 1001, the enterprise allocated a budget of 300 million Cr for military aid to the alliance.

   These 300 million Cr military aid can not only be used to purchase weapons, but also to purchase infrastructure and pay for construction.

  100,000 Cr per kilometer of road, 169 kilometers is 16.9 million Cr.

   Since the materials are collected locally, the power used by the engineering equipment is supplemented by the alliance, ignoring the loss of these inventory equipment, the 16.9 million is almost profit!

  Since the implementation of the Ideal City Plan, most of the engineering equipment that was used for large-scale construction projects have been thrown into the warehouse to eat ashes, and they will only be opened for occasional use when the customers in Yunjian Province have demand.

   Such a big order, they haven't seen it for a long time.

   Looking at the barren land not far away, Li Changkong couldn't help but feel fascinated.

I heard that a long time ago, in the early days of the Wasteland Era, their ancestors, under the leadership of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, built one after another in this wasteland to accommodate survivors' settlements, which became the eyes of the locals. Savior.

   And the reason why the ideal city can stand for two hundred years and become a holy place in the minds of countless wastelanders is precisely because of the engineering miracles they once left behind.

   When this war is over, I think my name will also be a story in this barren and abandoned land...

  Thinking about it, a happy smile appeared on that meticulous face.

  Li Changkong seemed to have seen that pair of eyes filled with gratitude, and the picture that people regarded him as a savior—even gods worshipped him.

   He will return full of honor!

   Go home as a hero—

   Suddenly realized that the smile on his face was a little out of character, he hurriedly coughed twice, and put on a serious expression again.

   did not notice the change in the expression on the face of the middle-aged man next to him. Chu Guang's attention at the moment was entirely on the two slowly advancing heavy machines.

   The first-hand company really showed him.

   To be honest, the shock brought by these two "little guys" is no less than that of the Trailblazer last year.

   Including that it took them less than a month to increase the maximum range from 500 kilometers to 3,000 kilometers.

   This does not include the time they spend to reach a consensus.

  Although he was well prepared, the technical strength and industrial capabilities displayed by the company exceeded his expectations.

   Looking at the road that was "growing forward" at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chu Guang felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

   Sure enough.

Science and technology are primary productive forces.

   We have to find a way to get a few from these local tyrants!
