This little guy is actually a drone?
Well, I almost made a fool of myself.
Looking at the two pairs of propellers popping up above his head and the silver metal ball hanging and floating in front of him, Chu Guang poked it with interest.
Can it also be adaptively stabilized?
"interesting."
Change the propeller into wings, paint the sphere gold, and make it a little smaller, so it looks exactly like the Golden Snitch in Harry Potter.
The light blue label affixed by the system to this thing has the words ["Hummingbird" drone] written on it, and comes with a long list of instructions for use.
Simply put, this thing can be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission functions, and only needs to insert a plug-in the size of a thumbnail.
The common interface on VM just matches this plug-in.
But, is this thing considered a weapon?
Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.
“But you didn’t ask me, Master.”
Emmm…
It seems the same is true.
Chu Guang did not blame it. After playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask.
“What’s the use of this thing? Can it be fired?”
Could it be a self-destruction?
If it were really a one-time consumable, that would be too shameful.
Xiao Qi: “Its main function is reconnaissance... It is already very difficult to integrate a long-lasting battery and motor into such a small guy. It must not be able to carry combat parts, right?”
“Reconnaissance?” Chu Guang stood next to the drone and observed it for a while, “Why didn’t I see its camera?”
Xiaoqi continued to explain.
"The camera has been integrated with the surface material, and it is definitely invisible to the naked eye. But don't worry about the performance. Although the camera is small, it is very powerful! The 60 dot matrix camera clusters distributed on the surface of the sphere can eliminate any blind spots.
Collect 360-degree regional high-definition images, which can be used even in night environments.”
Although you can’t see the camera, there are cameras smaller than pinholes all over your body. Does that mean big?
Speaking of having a camera, doesn’t it mean that you can take photos?
Although Xiaoqi can also take photos, because the range of activities is too small, the most she can do is stand on the sanatorium and take pictures of the players at work.
With this thing, you should be able to take a lot of interesting photos. With a slight filter, you can get a proper movie-level game CG.
Chu Guang touched his chin and continued to ask.
“What about the flight altitude? Also the distance, working time, and...how to charge?”
Xiaoqi answered quickly.
“Charging is very simple. The drone has a built-in wireless charging interface. It can charge automatically in the shelter like me, and I can also share part of my power with it.”
"As for the flight altitude, it is recommended to fly at low altitude below 100m. Although it is theoretically possible to fly to an altitude of several hundred meters, it is recommended not to stay at high altitude for too long. Working in a high altitude environment for a long time will not only cause damage to the engine
The load will also cause safety hazards."
"As for the distance, if there are not many obstacles, it is easy to use within a three-kilometer range, but it is also not recommended to be too far away from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone. The advantage is that it has a long battery life of nearly 12 hours and is complex.
Overcoming obstacles in the environment... long-range reconnaissance is still a bit difficult."
Signal transmission will be affected when encountering a place with many obstacles.
However, the control chip of the "Hummingbird" drone has an integrated automatic return program. Once the connection is lost, the AI will be automatically activated, and based on the video footage and estimated route in the cached data, the drone will be controlled to return to the starting coordinates or the preset rendezvous point.
After understanding the function of this little guy, Chu Guang reached out and took off the drone. The more he held it in his hand, the more he liked it.
If you throw the drone into the sky before a fight, it is almost like putting a real eye in the enemy's head.
Videos and images can be received through VM.
It’s simply awesome!
"Owner……"
“What’s wrong?” Hearing Xiaoqi’s voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, “Are there any other functions that haven’t been introduced?”
"Well...can you give it to Xiaoqi?" Xiaoqi weakly suggested, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main server of the shelter, and the pictures I see can be directly transmitted to you. You
Give it to me, and Xiaoqi will be able to see farther away, and it will also help you monitor the activities of the players more conveniently."
“This is a good idea.” Chu Guang’s eyes lit up.
This thing is certainly useful when used in battle, but there are not many opportunities to go to the front line. In addition, the current defense power is piled up like an iron bucket, so multiple of these things are actually not that useful.
It’s better to use it to peek at the screen.
No, it should be said strategic reconnaissance!
Xiaoqi continued.
"Master, when I was helping you sort out the information yesterday, I noticed that the guard's diary seemed to mention a signal tower? If the power supply of that signal tower can be restored, it might be possible to further expand the signal coverage of Vault 404.
oh."
Chu Guang placed the drone above Xiao Qi's head and continued with interest.
“Are you talking about...the signal tower used by the guards to communicate with survivors on the surface? I have considered it, but based on the clues returned by the players exploring the map, there seems to be nothing gained.”
Xiaoqi continued.
“The function of the signal tower should not only be to communicate with the surface. According to the clues in the recording, in the years after the war, the shelter seemed to have been collecting radio signals on the ground as analysis samples.”
"According to my speculation, this signal tower should have complete signal sending and receiving functions. Perhaps we can use it to provide information services for players' VM devices. In this way, even in areas far away from the shelter, you can
A mission has been released to the players."
Chu Guang said with a smile.
“The idea is a good idea, but the question is where can we find this tower? Do you have a map?”
Xiao Qi said immediately.
“Although there is no map, it is obvious that this signal tower is near us? If the two kilometers nearby have been explored by players——”
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang reacted suddenly.
“Street 76?”
Xiaoqi said happily.
“Well! The host is great!”
really.
Eliminate all wrong options, and the final answer will naturally emerge.
To the west and northwest of the Wetland Park is a lake. To the south is wasteland, abandoned buildings and abandoned park facilities. To the south is Beit Street and the Fifth Ring Road south of Beit Street.
As for the area going north to the abandoned tire factory, players in the shelter have already explored it. The only area that has not been explored is No. 76 Street directly opposite the East Gate.
Speaking of which, the greenhouse site seems to be at the entrance of No. 76 Street.
The players’ activity range is getting closer and closer to the mutant territory.
Chu Guang looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
.
“We have to think of a way to kill those green-skinned muscle guys in one fell swoop.”
…
The next morning.
The heavy snow has stopped for a while, and it seems that today is a rare sunny day.
At the entrance of the weapons store, a large circle of people gathered around.
The players who came later stood on tiptoes, looked through the crowd, and grabbed the players next to them to find out what was going on.
“What happened? Why are there so many people crowded here?”
“Auction at the Weapon Shop!”
“Auction?! When will there be a team fight again? Why didn’t I know?”
“It’s not a team battle, it’s just an ordinary auction! I don’t know what’s going on. It seems to be a temporary event in the game. Didn’t you check the official website?”
“No! As soon as I got home, I put the helmet on my head before I even took off my clothes!”
“Holy shit, you don’t even take a shower?”
“It’s the same as washing up in the morning! How can reality be as exciting as a game?”
“Crazy, crazy.”
Chu Guang glanced at the crowd around him and saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he cleared his throat, raised the bow in his hand, and spoke in a solemn and solemn tone.
“…This is a mechanical compound bow from the deepest part of the Sanctuary. The legend about it…well, in fact, it has not left any legend.”
“It’s not important!”
"Brand new limbs, shiny bow strings, variable focus sights with scales, and the battery can be installed to charge the pulley with the help of electric drive! Help you deliver a fatal blow! It is the undisputed latest product.
Born from hunting. The legend about it is waiting for you to write!"
“The starting price is 100 silver coins! Each bid increase must not be less than 1 silver coin!”
"unlimited!"
Do not shoot the upper price limit!
Stimulate!
The moment the voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene instantly boiled.
“101 silver!”
“I offer 102 silver!”
“Gan! There’s something wrong with you! I’ll pay you 110 silver!”
“I’ll give you 120 silver. This bow looks better than a gun. If you use a three-sided arrow, it might be able to shoot through——”
“130 silver! You talk too much!”
“180!!”
The shouting was broken.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Everyone looked at the person who was bidding. They thought it was the mosquito who never went to the front line, but it turned out to be "the only book guy on the forum who has been personally banned by the planner" - [The Mole on the Run in the Canyon]
】
Can he use a bow and arrow?
Feeling a little embarrassed by everyone's looks, Mole argued with a blushing face.
“I’m an agility type, do you have any questions?”
Hush.
Hunted by his momentum, a cute little boy next to him beeped in a low voice.
"without……"
"Right--"
“Ahem, I’m 188, I’ll make up a lucky number.”
“!”
Mole, who had only been proud for two seconds, turned around and looked at the hand raised in the crowd. Everyone around him sighed when he saw this, and the mosquito took action after all.
After the price exceeds 150, there will be a fight between gods and gods.
Players in the third echelon have withdrawn from bidding, while players in the second echelon remain on the sidelines.
To be honest, weapons can be sold to anyone, but Chu Guang doesn’t really want to sell them to mosquitoes. Every time this guy takes pictures of something, he never uses it and keeps it as a collection.
For example, the Scorpion submachine gun and the double-barreled shotgun exploded by the big boss of the Blood Hand clan, Chu Guang had never seen this guy brought out and used.
I have some yarn in stock for use!
Can you give birth to cubs or what else can you do?
At this moment, a big hand of justice was raised.
“200 silver!”
“What the hell?!”
“Two, two hundred?!”
Mole and mosquito, their eyes widened instantly.
Looking back suddenly, I saw that the person raising his hand was actually Brother Fang, who had entered the game earlier than them.
The surrounding players were also whispering.
“200 silver for a bow?!”
“Crazy, this money can buy two guns!”
“But I think it shouldn’t be a loss, for example, attaching explosives to a three-edged arrow...Have you ever played Graphics Crisis? That’s what I’m talking about.”
“MMP, stop talking, I want to buy even the intelligence department!”
“Uuuuuuu, when will I be so rich?”
Fang Chang ignored the whispers of other players, looked at Brother Mosquito, and smiled sheepishly.
“Brother, give me some face... I bought it, it’s really useful.”
Among these players, probably no one is better at using a bow and arrow than him.
The mosquito spread its hands helplessly, expressing surrender.
“I have abandoned my own people.”
There’s nothing you can do if you don’t give up.
He did make a fortune by selling wooden bows to newcomers, but his expenses for "invention and creation" were also high. Adding on the previous purchases, he only had 190 silver left in his pocket.
Mole yelled with an annoyed look on his face.
“Gan! Where did you get so much money? You must have embezzled public funds!”
Before Fang Chang could say anything, Ye Shi came out.
“Haha, you think we do nothing else but bake bricks? If nothing else, just the exclusive task of the brick factory, to increase the daily output to more than 5,000, we can earn 100 silver coins directly——”
Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai covered Ye Shi's mouth.
“Okay, okay, stop talking.”
When the planner hears it, be careful.
But having said that, these 200 silver coins are actually the entire deposit of the Niu Ma team. The reason why Fang Chang didn't raise his sign before was actually because he was discussing it with his teammates.
Don’t beat around the bush, he wants this bow.
His current archery hit rate can hit a moving target from 50m away. If he can get this bow, his combat effectiveness will be doubled several times, and the team DPS will also increase a lot!
The other three teammates didn’t have any objections. They played other games together and the same thing happened when they changed games.
The team’s output has increased, but are you still worried about not being able to make money?
Especially Ye Shi, he supports Brother Fang the most. After all, the bolt-action rifle he is using now was the one that Fang Chang suggested everyone raise for him.
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Oh, you are really rich, I'm crying."
Fang Chang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, brother, next time I have something good, I won't snatch it from you!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "I remember this!"
Just like that, the fight between the local tycoon players came to an end, and everyone dispersed and went about their own business.
Brother Mole is still the same as yesterday, pulling the team he organized on the forum to rush to the dungeon of the Greenhouse Ruins. As for the two brothers lying dead in the team, they were replaced by two newbies of the power system.
Insect type dungeons are rare and difficult for perception type players to use. Most insect type dungeons seem to have built-in stealth bonuses and cannot be sensed at all.
The official forum has reached a consensus that when downloading this type of dungeon, it is better to bring two more tanks along with a scout.
If you can resist it, you will have output.
As for the cattle and horse team, Chu Guang specially used a drone to observe it and found that they did not stay at the brick factory. Instead, they left the wetland park along the north gate and went to a collapsed department store between the tire factory and the abandoned construction site.
.
Is there anything there?
Chu Guang was very curious, but did not follow the drone. After all, it was more than three kilometers further and the signal was somewhat affected.
Anyway, if they found something good, they might as well bring it back to themselves. When the time comes, they can look up the guide on the official website and figure it out.
…
All the professional combat players have dispersed to work, leaving only the newcomers in the base who are running errands, and the professional life players who play "Wasteland OL" as a health game.
When Chu Guang walked into Tengteng's cabin, the ingenious Miss Tengteng was standing on the bench, facing a wooden board painted with charcoal, teaching three new intelligence students how to use the leftover materials from making fur coats.
Use leftover materials to make some leather goods such as gun holsters and scabbards.
“…There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical furs in the world. You must remember this sentence.”
“If you want to be a qualified designer, you must first learn to distinguish the subtle differences between furs of similar sizes. Only when you have selected the materials can you start the next step.”
"have you understood?"
Teng Teng is standing on the bench and giving lectures, just like a teacher in a kindergarten class.
The three players stared blankly, obviously not understanding, but they still nodded in confusion.
"Understood!"
“Awesome!”
Seeing that his students were all so savvy, Teng Teng nodded with satisfaction, clapped his black hands, and jumped down from the bench.
At this moment, she saw the manager standing at the entrance, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Hidden missions are delivered to your door?!
“Well, you should think about it yourself first!”
After saying a few words, Teng Teng immediately walked towards the entrance and said excitedly.
“Dear manager, do you have any instructions?”
Chu Guang went straight to the point and said.
“The outpost recently captured a batch of devil moth cocoons. The devil silk extracted from these cocoons are all good materials. I would like to ask you if there is any way to weave them into usable cloth.”
“Weaving?” Teng Teng looked confused, “I remember that before weaving, silk must be reeled first?”
To be honest, she can't.
If it is just about fashion design, there is no need for such "basic" knowledge. Even the fur processing she is doing now was only learned by herself through the learning materials downloaded from the Internet after playing "Wasteland OL".
Now the manager has given her another problem.
Although it is not difficult to find some public information with the help of the Internet, she is not sure whether the information she found is still valid when used on the cocoon of the devil moth.
Seriously, does anyone really use moth cocoons to make clothes?
Sounds very strange.
Chu Guang looked at Teng Teng and continued.
"Whether it's reeling or something else, I need it to be turned into usable threads and cloth. If we can use these materials, we can make lighter and more durable armors, and the excess products can be replaced by our urgent needs
We are short of food...do you have any good ideas?"
Although Teng Teng was not confident, after learning the importance of this task from the manager, Teng Teng still nodded enthusiastically.
“Although I haven’t tried it before, I think I can give it a try!”
At the same time as she finished speaking, she received a mission pop-up window on her VM.
【Task: Textile Technology】
【Briefing: The outpost has obtained a batch of devil's silk. These are high-quality materials, but if we want to turn these materials into silk threads and cloth, we must first solve the problem of production tools.】
【Requirement: Make a spinning machine and a loom.】
【Reward: 100 silver coins】
【Note: Although a hand-spinning machine and a loom are enough to complete the task, if a production machine with better performance can be made based on the current needs of the outpost, additional hidden rewards may be triggered. 】
100 silver coins!
When he saw the mission reward, Teng Teng’s eyes instantly turned into the color of silver coins.
Especially the remark at the end.
If you can make a production machine with excellent performance, you may also trigger additional hidden rewards!
“Don’t worry, dear manager!”
Putting his index finger on the VM screen, Teng Teng raised his head excitedly and continued vowing, "Teng Teng will definitely live up to your expectations!"
“Yeah, please.”
Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
If he had to figure out these troublesome things by himself, just making steel would be enough for him to think about it until next year.
But with these hard-working and brave little players...
Chu Guang suddenly felt that life in the wasteland was not as difficult as he imagined.
This chapter has been completed!
