This Game Is Too Realistic

Server-wide announcement: The outpost has obtained a first-class "magnetic confinement plasma processing machine tool" with a durability of 99 and an industrial index of 100

Note 1: This machine tool can produce metal parts of any geometric shape. Now players can submit relevant drawings and descriptions of uses to the manager assistant to obtain quotations and material requirements. Drawings can be drawn in the game, or electronic files can be submitted through the official website personal page.

Note 2: Processing equipment can only change the geometry of the material, but cannot change the properties of the material itself, and the cutting process will produce waste. If you want to process the steel ingot into a steel pipe, please preprocess it first and process it into a rod shape or approximately a rod shape. If you want to process copper ingots into copper wire, please use a wire drawing machine to avoid occupying precious machine tool resources.

Note 3: The specifications of the input processing materials are limited to 1X1X1, and materials exceeding the specifications cannot be processed.

The announcement will be made at 6 p.m.

This point happens to be the peak for players to go online and offline.

Whether they were brick-moving players who went to the northern town to pick up trash, or human players who were junglers in the Elm District, most of them returned to the action camp.

Looking at the announcement that popped up on the VM, the faces of the young players showed expressions of surprise.

"Magnetic confinement plasma machine tool?"

"Or CNC?"

"What the hell is this stitch monster? Why have I never heard of it?"

"If you've heard of that, in reality, one minute can be considered a high constraint and a long pulse. Do you understand what it means? Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you."

"Hey, these game makers are so smart that they can brag without even making a draft!"

Although Chu Guang wanted to share this joy with them, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

The vast majority of players don't know how hard-won this machine tool is, and they are even less likely to know how many sacrifices those small players who cannot go online due to bugs have made for it.

They just thought that maybe Boss Xia had another workbench. Now he could not only drill holes for weapons, but also inscribe weapons?

They are all redundant functions anyway!

Smarter little players think of the update to version Apha0.8.

The industrial index of the outpost increased by 100 points from 150 points to 250 points, which means an increase of 250 points?

Doesn’t that mean the weapon shop is about to get a new one? ?

Some relatively young players who happened to be at the outpost excitedly took the steel ingots and followed the instructions on the announcement to go to the manager's assistant to inquire about the price.

Some wanted to make an axe, and some wanted to make the steel ingot into a rifle, but most of them left cursing in the end.

Why?

Because it’s simply not worth it!

The startup fee for a machine tool is as high as 100 silver, and the processing quotation for an ax is as high as 100 silver, which adds up to 200 silver.

With this money, you can buy twenty axes! If you wholesale it from No. 81 Steel Factory, there will probably be some left.

As for the rifle, the price for processing a rifled barrel is 200 silver, and the player must provide rod-shaped steel.

If not, plasma thermal welding will be required for operation, and the quotation will be doubled again.

With this money, it’s enough to buy two at the weapon store!

But think about it, an ordinary rifle cannot use such an advanced machine tool, and the cost is completely uneconomical.

At this time, inside the No. 81 Steel Plant.

Ya'er, who was sitting on the small bench, was touching his chin with one hand and holding the steel ingot with the other. He stared at her in deep thought for a long time before he choked out a word.

"I speculate that that machine tool should be used to make production tools!"

His good friend Ward rolled his eyes when he heard about athlete's foot.

"You don't have to say this! Take the tens of millions of CNC machine tools in the laboratory to mill seamless steel pipes, and you will be done if your boss doesn't hammer you."

Brother Biusuo: "Well, I feel like he will be so frightened that he will call the police and send me in."

Brother Lai: "The cost of using this machine tool is indeed a bit high. I feel that it is not prepared for individual players at all. The startup fee alone is 100 silver coins. Unless it is a company sponsored by a shelter, it is too expensive for ordinary self-employed people!"

Brother Tousuo: "That's not necessarily the case, Brother Mosquito will definitely be enough!"

Brother Lai: "He won't say anything. Anyone who looks at that guy will say that he will be punished. By the way, how much money do we still have in our account?"

Brother Wu Suo: "Before 4,000 silver, the newcomer came in and bought a lot of axes and arrowheads. What? Are you going to share the dividend?"

Brother Lai: "What the heck! This little money is enough to divide a piece of wool. I plan to get a thermal punching machine. Those parts that couldn't be made before should be able to be processed with this machine tool. Once the punching machine is available , we can make seamless steel pipes!”

Upon hearing this, Brother Wusuo's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Awesome, brother! We want to go together!"

Brother Lai rolled his eyes: "Don't be awesome. It will be offline in a while. You go and upload the drawings. Let's make something simpler. I guess it won't be too expensive."

Brother Tousuo chuckled.

"Okay brother, I just made this!"

Just when Brother Lai and Brother Wusuo were discussing plans and discussing how to make the seamless steel pipe industry bigger and stronger and create brilliance in the wasteland, on the third floor of the sanatorium not far away, Xiao Qi raised her camera and looked at Chu Guang, standing aside, whispered.

"Master, isn't the price you set a bit too expensive?"

Just now, at least a dozen people made inquiries, but when they heard that the startup fee was 100 silver coins, they were immediately frightened and turned around and left.

It costs 100 silver to turn on the phone. What a money grab!

Hearing Xiao Qi's suggestion, Chu Guang didn't take it seriously.

"It's not expensive at all, I even think it's cheap. They think it's expensive just because they don't understand the version deeply enough, which means they are not our target customers at all. If there is no barrier at all, God knows what kind of drawings they will come up with. , do you want to use that thing to make a bunch of broken javelins and broken axes?"

Go to Boss Xia for this kind of thing!

The two workbenches she has there, one DIY and one found, can both do this.

Xiaoqi clicked the camera as if she understood, but didn't seem to understand. In its view, if they are not allowed to be used to produce those things, wouldn’t it be enough to directly stipulate that they are not allowed to be used?

Why go around in a circle and use "thresholds" to limit it.

Chu Guang did not intend to explain his intention to do this to the AI, as well as the difference between human behavioral logic and AI algorithms.

What to say.

Chu Guang does not object to players using some weird creativity, but he needs to be restricted by the rules so that players can consider whether it is worth it before using their creativity.

As Xiaoqi said herself, this machine tool is not used to produce those crude gadgets at all.

Taking the AK47 he made previously as an example, 6 kilograms of steel were used to make a 3 kilogram workpiece, half of which was cut into strange-shaped steel scraps, and most likely could only be sent to the steelmaking plant for re-melting.

In addition, there are the electricity consumed and the inert gas naturally lost during use. These are visible costs, not to mention the invisible hidden costs.

The real purpose of this thing is to produce "tools for production", or to process some "high-tech value-added" high-precision equipment if materials are available.

The latter does not need to be considered for the time being, the former is the main goal at this stage.

Chu Guang planned to go step by step, first let his little players get a thermal punching machine to solve the problem of the gun barrel.

For the time being, we ignore the complex technologies of three-roll rolling and centering straightening. To simply produce seamless steel pipes, a punching machine is enough.

Whether it can be produced in batches, efficiently, and with guaranteed quality and quantity is a matter for later. You must first have the production capability before you can think of ways to optimize it.

For a long time to come, seamless steel pipes will become the most important pillar industry of Vault 404.

As for the craftsmanship of the receiver.

Chu Guang hesitated for a while between milling the receiver and stamping the receiver, but finally chose the latter.

Although the milling casing is more modern and has higher precision, the disadvantages are also obvious, which is a waste of materials, high requirements on personnel and equipment, and even lower production efficiency.

For example, the AK47 he made with a machine tool was strictly speaking a milled receiver. Even the barrel and the rifling in the barrel were cut with a single-atom knife.

The stamping case is different. In addition to the troublesome process of making molds, the entire production process has almost no technical content, and the efficiency of mass production is particularly high.

The only shortcoming is poor accuracy, but compared to its two advantages of cheapness and durability, this shortcoming cannot be regarded as a shortcoming at all, at most it can be regarded as a minor flaw.

After all, in this environment in the wasteland, the average combat distance is less than 100 meters. No matter how accurate the shot is, it is not as fast and stable as the shot.

Based on the stamping process, Chu Guang plans to simply imitate the AK receiver and design a 7-caliber rifle.

Compared with the upper and lower receiver designs and the seven-protrusion locking design of the AR series rifles, the AK's U-shaped receiver and two-protruding locking design are more than twice as difficult to produce. Once the mold is ready, it can even be punched directly from a single piece of steel. come out.

What is the concept of being able to punch out a whole piece of steel?

It can be mass-produced like ink paper under a printer, and can be used with a barrel and a solid wood stock, which perfectly meets the combat needs in a wasteland environment.

There is a reason why this thing sells so well in the third world.

Especially in places where human life is not valuable, the cheaper the gun, the better.

How wasteful it would be to die?

The next day.

There was a crowd of people in front of the weapon store. Many young players came back from the operation camp last night, waiting for the weapon store to open.

Boss Xia, who was yawning, had long been accustomed to this.

Opening the store door on time as usual, she took out the two samples Chu Guang asked her to make yesterday and hung them on the semi-open window.

They were two rifles made of solid wood and pure steel.

One of them has a compact layout. The butt and magazine are all standard assault rifle shapes. The top rail can be used to install sights and barrels.

The other one has a significantly longer barrel and receiver. The magazine embedded in the gun body only shows a triangular outline, which looks slightly wider.

What the two have in common is that they both have a rough appearance and majestic lines, and their appearance is extremely similar, like good brothers coming down the assembly line. Not only are they similar in appearance, the names of the two guns are also very similar. The longer one is called LD47s and the shorter one is called LD47.

In addition, they have a very coquettish nickname

sickle!

"Damn it, the weapon shop really has a new product today! Brother Fang is awesome!"

"I understand this! LD47s should be snipers!"

"Got it! It's 98K!"

"98k ghosts! It's obviously a continuous attack!"

"Wait a minute, why does that short one look more and more like AK?"

"Be confident and get rid of any doubts. This operator is lazy again. Most likely they copied CF's skin directly!"

Both guns are very cheap. The long one costs 250 silver coins, and the short one costs 200 silver coins. They are actually only twice as expensive as the iron tube rifle!

Nowadays, as long as you are an old player, who doesn’t have two hundred silver coins in your pocket? Especially the battle with the Legion, the basic income was 150 silver coins!

Many people were still hesitating, but Tails, who had quick eyes and quick hands, had already taken action.

"Boss lady! Give me a haircut! I want the long one for the tail! Give the short one to Sisi."

After giving the short-haired female player a white look, Xia Yan yawned and muttered a few words.

"Samples are not for sale. If you want to buy, please wait two days."

Hearing this unskilled and unstandardized Mandarin, the surrounding players were instantly stunned.

Holy shit?

The boss lady not only changed her legs, but also updated her voice pack!

Epic level enhancement!

Just as there was a commotion in front of the weapons store, the industrial area to the south was equally lively.

As soon as many small life-career players who registered as self-employed went online and were about to get on the truck and head to the mobile camp for the market, a bunch of orders popped up on the VM's taskbar.

Among them, some require the production of wooden gun stocks, and some require the production of grips. It is not difficult, and it can even be said that it is enough to have hands.

A little more difficult are those that require polishing lenses and making optical sights. The types can be said to be diverse.

These tasks have one thing in common, that is, the rewards are quite generous, and due to the update to version Apha0.8, there is an additional 10 bonus points for orders!

In addition, the first 100 orders of each product will receive additional contribution point rewards and regional reputation.

If I miss this, is it still a human being? !

With such a generous reward, many young players who focus on life and career were instantly excited. One by one they picked up their tools and went to work in their own small workshops, wishing they could weld their butts to the bench.

Of course, compared to those self-employed people who do manual work, the real pleasure is a certain "big producer" with shelter investment.

Early in the morning, the No. 81 Steel Factory at the outpost received an exclusive order to produce 100 receivers and 100 barrels for the outpost.

This order has clear requirements for product materials, specifications, dimensions and even processing accuracy, making production difficult.

However, this is not important!

What's important is that the wise manager of Shenwu not only offered a generous price of 4,000 silver coins, but also paid the order 50 as a down payment in advance.

The sudden "windfall" made Brother Toisuo and Brother Lai dizzy.

Although the money is placed in the business account, it is still money!

Stimulated by the order, the two people, who were still a little hesitant, took a deposit of 4,000 silver coins and a large amount of steel in the inventory without saying a word. They went to the manager's assistant to customize a large number of parts and prepared to go to work to stamp out the stamping equipment. The punching machine for the barrel and the stamping die for making the receiver are completed.

In addition, the two of them also invested in the 2,000 silver coins that they had just received as an advance payment, which was still warm, and used it to issue scavenging tasks and order raw materials needed for production.

Although there was not a penny left in the steel factory's account, the two of them did not feel anything was wrong at all. Instead, they felt that the future was promising.

On the surface, in order to complete this order, not only did they not make any money, but they also used the money in their pockets.

But can we only look at the surface when looking at a problem?

Of course not!

The money spent did not disappear, but changed into a more advanced form and stayed with them forever.

With the punching machine and the mold for stamping the receiver, they will be able to complete more orders, further reduce the cost of production, further improve the efficiency, and the snowball will start rolling completely.

This wave is more than just a loss.

It’s a real win, isn’t it?

Coincidentally, as the major shareholder of the steel plant, the wise and wise manager also feels the same way.

For Chu Guang, whether money or not is a trivial matter. The key is that such a wave of operations not only greatly increased the production capacity of the steel plant, but also reduced the logistical pressure on the outpost.

And all he paid was just a few thousand Happy Beans.

This wave probably can’t be considered a win.

It should be said to be a win-win situation!

After all, he won twice.

In addition to the gun itself, there are also wooden butts, triangular bayonets, magazine drums, bipods, optical sights and other accessories. Chu Guang plans to assemble them all.

In the future, just by selling accessories and bullets, a lot of silver coins can be recovered, and the excess production capacity can even be dumped to surrounding survivors, or even exported to Honghe Town and Boulder City.

Chu Guang can be sure that as long as his weapons are sold cheaply enough, those mercenaries and caravan guards who can't afford too expensive weapons will definitely love him to death.

"But when that time comes, it will definitely not work to use game currency as currency."

Although this type of game currency produced in the pre-war era has excellent production technology and has certain anti-counterfeiting capabilities, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the quantity is limited.

Players can use electronic currency, but those wastelanders will not admit invisible things, they don't even believe in paper money.

Besides, Chu Guang was not sure whether the merchant named Sun Shiqi had any tricks up his sleeve, such as secretly hiding a bag of coins without selling them to him.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

Looking at the outpost industrial zone that was in full swing and bustling again, Chu Guang silently made up his mind.

“The second-generation currency must be launched as soon as possible!”

This work must be completed before the end of winter.

Once winter is over, trade in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City will become active again. At that time, players will also usher in a more open, broader, and more challenging world.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind, pulling Chu Guang's thoughts from the distance back to the present.

The heavily armed Fang Chang nodded slightly and said respectfully: "Dear manager, we are ready. When will we set off!"

Standing up from the chair, Chu Guang held the war hammer aside and hung it on his back.

"Now."
