Chapter 194 Another batch of fresh leeks is online
North of Linghu Wetland Park.
Abandoned tire factory located in ruins.
This place was once the nest of the Blood Hand Clan, and with the destruction of the Blood Hand Clan, it was once occupied by cockroaches and rats.
Recently, due to the expansion of the activity area of the residents of Vault 404, this structurally sound factory building has been reused.
With the efforts of countless new players, all the alien species nesting here were expelled, and NPCs set up guard posts in the surrounding high-rise buildings. Now it has become the northern industrial area of the outpost, which was originally crowded to the south of the sanatorium.
All the light and heavy industries on the side have been relocated here.
This includes No. 81 Steel Plant, where the major was born.
It also includes the goblin technology where Yeluzi was born.
Although the generous manager finally agreed to keep his hut on the south side of the outpost after being nudged by Brother Mosquito, future production activities involving chemicals, flammable and explosive materials must be removed from the resurrection point.
It was moved nearby and moved here.
It's not that Chu Guang is targeting him, it's mainly because there are too many people complaining.
This guy was randomly testing weapons in the forest outside the base, either scaring away the fish in the lake, or accidentally setting fire to the pine and cypress trees outside the base. In the past month or so, someone has approached Chu Guang more than once to protest.
I hope he can restrain the mosquitoes' behavior a little bit.
Chu Guang believed that Brother Mosquito did not do this intentionally, but if he continued to toss like this, to be honest, Chu Guang himself felt a little guilty.
These problems do not exist at the old tire factory site. First of all, it is a full 5 kilometers away from the outpost, and it is an abandoned and uninhabited urban area in the southeast and northwest.
There are enough alien species there for him to test the power of the weapon.
From now on, Brother Mosquito no longer has to secretly fire cannons and rockets onto the lake at the risk of being thrown into the lake by angry fishermen!
All in all, under the plan of the wise administrator Shenwu, the northern industrial zone will use steel and coal as its pillar industries to produce seamless steel pipes of various calibers, bullets, stamped receivers and other manufacturing products, and encourage players to
On this basis, use your creativity to make more cheap and useful things.
There are usually no scavengers near the predator's lair, and the area nearby is rich in recyclable resources. Even if the inventory is occasionally insufficient, scavengers can be hired to collect materials locally.
The most important thing is that this place is close to the elevated road out of the city. As long as the obstacles on the road and the vegetation along the way are cleared, and the road surface is slightly repaired, the truck can even drive directly to the factory gate along the auxiliary road under the elevated road!
Whether it is transportation or resource advantages, this place is much better than the outpost located in the wetland park.
It’s simply good news for industrial streaming players!
The "truck-accessible" factory building that originally hung dried meat of unknown composition has now been transformed into the new site of the No. 81 Steel Plant.
A circular hole was cut out on the top of the factory building, and a red brick chimney stood tall and drilled out of the hole.
It's like a torch.
In this ruins of civilization, a small but firm light ignited
…
Inside the building of No. 81 Steel Plant.
The blast furnace is filled with hot molten iron.
Sweat covered his neck. Li Niu unbuttoned all the buttons on his coat and fanned his hands to blow air into his neck.
"The fire today feels twice as strong as yesterday. Is it my imagination?"
If the two foremans wearing VMs hadn't refused, he would have even wanted to take off the steel helmet with the fur lining on his head.
Standing next to him is a neighbor in the same town, Wu Dahe from the old Wu family next door. Their family is a blacksmith, but there is no business in winter and there are few opportunities to open.
Before recruiting workers, the two sons of the old Wu family came in. The older one worked as a furnace worker like him and also did some odd jobs, while the younger one was chosen to be a stick maker. Under the guidance of Lan Jie,
Operate the rolling stick for hot bonding. Occasionally, you need to use the hammer to knock some small pieces, but this is rare.
"The foreman said that the factory has received a new batch of funds, and the factory director plans to add boron to the blast furnace to try to make No. 50B steel... It is said to be used to make gun barrels."
Li Niu looked curious.
"What is boron?"
Wu Dahe took out a small stone from his pocket, shook it in front of him, and then took it back.
"Just this small black stone, it is said that by adding only a small amount, the strength of steel can be greatly improved, but the amount must be controlled, not too much... I don't understand it very well, anyway, this kind of complicated thing,
The blue coats will take care of it, just do what they say."
Li Niu nodded as if he understood, and asked again after a while.
"What is No. 50B steel?"
Wu Dahe shook his head like a rattle and repeated the sentence just now.
"I don't know. Anyway, just do as they say."
Li Niu was speechless.
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, he remembered it as an experience.
Adding boron will make steel more durable, but you can only add a little, not too much.
But soon, other confusions arose in his mind.
But exactly how much should be added?
Also, the steel mentioned here, can all steels be used?
Or is it limited to certain items?
After all, the method of making steel in the factory is very strange. Sometimes tungsten is added, sometimes chromium and nickel are added, and sometimes silicon is added. Depending on the materials used, the steel has different uses. Some are sent to make gun barrels.
, some are used to make receivers, and others are used to make bicycle frames.
The blacksmiths on Beit Street don't have such trouble forging iron. They can at most mix some carbon and the forged tools are just as easy to use, strong and durable.
I heard that smart blacksmiths also specialize in recycling steel from scrapped car racks, especially those parked in indoor garages.
Steel forged from those materials will be much more durable than ordinary steel.
Li Niu is not a blacksmith. Before coming here, he was just a scavenger living on Beit Street. He would occasionally go hunting with Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, because he could always find the wild boar's nest... Although
He himself couldn't explain why.
As for why you are here.
Then it’s a long story.
A week ago, the outpost industrial zone was relocated. Old Charlie posted a notice in the square, asking to recruit 5 to 10 strong workers between the ages of 16 and 35 to come and help. They would not only take care of two meals, but also provide food every day.
1 silver coin salary.
In the street office store on Beit Street, 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of green wheat or potato chips, and 50g of salt.
Where do you usually meet good things like this?
It was such a cold day and there was nothing to do. When he heard that it could save some food for his family, Li Niu signed up without hesitation.
As for whether they are given chips or silver coins, not many people care these days.
The caravans from Boulder City have not been here since the beginning of winter. For the survivors here, the only thing they can exchange for food and use is money.
The work of relocating the factory is not very laborious. You only need to transport some large and small things out of the forest on a trailer, load them on the truck at the north entrance of the park, and then follow the truck to the abandoned tire factory in the north. Under the command of the foreman, move the things
Just remove it.
The abandoned tire factory was once the stronghold of the Blood Hand Clan. Many residents of Beit Street were afraid of going near it, but Li Niu was not afraid.
The Bloody Hand clan has been wiped out, and the flag of Vault 404 is flying on the roof of the factory building.
He often followed Yu Hu to visit the outpost, and he knew very well that those blue coats were very good people.
And this is indeed the case. The relocation work lasted for three full days. Not only did we have meat every meal, but we were also full.
If all the work had not been done, Li Niu would have even wanted to stay here.
At that time, the foreman of the steel plant came out and extended an olive branch to them.
No. 81 Steel Factory plans to recruit a group of contract workers, with a monthly salary of 60 silver coins, and food and accommodation in the factory. There are 4 days off every month, and you can decide which day to take off. If you do a good job, you can get commissions.
In addition to age, there are only two requirements for recruiting workers, one is strong strength and the other is literacy... those with more literacy will be given priority.
According to the foreman, the factory will set up night literacy classes to organize workers to learn writing, arithmetic and drawing. However, because they have to sign a contract, they must at least be able to write their own names to sign up, and they are not allowed to let others write for them.
That was the first time in Li Niu's life that he realized how great it is to be literate.
He had attended Old Charlie's night school literacy class before. Although he had not been there a few times, he was able to write his own name at least.
Those whose names have three characters are at a disadvantage, either they can only write two, or they have to hold it in for a long time before they can write out their last name.
There were a total of fifteen people left in the end. The foreman gave them hard hats and warm fur coats, arranged dormitories for them, and told them that from now on they would be workers of the No. 81 Steel Plant.
As long as you work hard, you can settle here with your family in the future.
Li Niu didn't think so far ahead. His current life was enough to make him happy.
Wearing the fur clothes issued by the factory, he even felt a little hot while standing in the factory building. Every time he changed shifts, he would go out to get some cold air.
This wonderful life was something he had never dared to imagine before!
Looking at the molten iron in the blast furnace, Li Niu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"That boy Yu Hu always doesn't pay attention to his studies. I have to think of a way to persuade him..."
The airing time is over.
As the molten iron in the blast furnace reaches the expected temperature
Under the instructions of the foreman, Li Niu and another worker worked together to control the rocker and move the suspended blast furnace to the mold for pouring to form a stick-shaped steel billet.
The motor starts.
The roller under the billet starts working,
Under the transportation of a row of rollers, the rod-shaped steel billet is sent to the punching machine, where it is punched and drilled by a special high-temperature resistant drill bit.
"The temperature of the billet dropped too quickly."
"Indeed... we have to find a way to integrate the hot stamping technology and stamp directly in the mold to maintain the quenching state."
"Can this gun barrel be made thinner? Otherwise, the gun barrel is too heavy, has no maneuverability at all, and consumes materials."
"Try your best. With such a large caliber, I'm afraid that if I make it too thin it will explode."
Brother Tosuo and Brother Levin were standing in front of the production equipment, pointing at the equipment at work and whispering to each other.
As for why they are so motivated?
Because just this morning, they just went online and suddenly received a research and development fund of 5,500 silver coins!
Perhaps it is because the managers were moved by their hard work. From now on, for the research and development of new equipment, as long as you submit drawings and budgets according to the process, you can get the support of special funds. You no longer have to generate electricity for love and advance money for research and development yourself.
Got it!
In addition to solving their urgent needs, the respected manager also allocated two sleep pods to them as a reward for their hard work.
This sleeping cabin is a great thing!
From now on, they don't need to go back to the shelter, they can go online and offline directly in the factory.
If other players knew about it, they would go crazy with jealousy!
Happiness comes too suddenly.
However, Brother Usuo and Brother Levin were not stunned by this sudden happiness.
They are very aware of the lemon juice on the forum. If they knew that they had gained so many benefits, they would definitely clamor to cut it off again.
Therefore, the two of them made a fortune in a low-key manner without any publicity. They hired scavengers to recycle good steel and materials from the wasteland, rented machine tools in the shelter to cut needed parts, and worked hard to increase the production capacity of the steel plant.
, secretly making the steel industry bigger and stronger.
They decided to show some real skills and show these cloud players who only know how to play lemons and shout "I can do it".
What is a real war machine!
I may not be able to do what I want!
…

】
On the fourth day after the new version went online, production in the northern industrial zone of the outpost was in full swing.
At this moment, the B3 floor of the shelter below the base was bustling with activity.
The helmet was finally activated, and three hundred players entered the game at the same time. Under the guidance of the broadcast, they came to the square in the center of the floor one after another, blocking the lobby in front of the elevator tower on the B3 floor.
“There are so many new people this time!”
"And the quality seems to be pretty good, too. There are a little less fuss about weird things than last time!"
"Very good, it seems that the threshold for making an appointment to answer questions has been upgraded again."
"By the way, have you seen the European Emperor who drew the exotic unit?"
"Not yet. The manager hasn't even started to speak. It's probably because everyone hasn't arrived yet. They're probably still lingering in the room. Just wait and see!"
Standing in the corner of the square, Commander Quan Shui searched the crowd with his eyes, looking for potential stocks among the newcomers, and was ready to start "spreading the fire" immediately after the manager finished speaking.
Although he didn't want to start training from the newbies, he had no choice, his two teammates were really cheating!
One is [I am the darkest] and the other is [Battlefield Atmosphere Group]. When fighting monsters, Bengou always has an intelligence system that tops him. Not to mention, he is always thinking about his equipment.
For his own plan to advance to the T0 echelon, Commander Quanshui decided to train a few new platoon members who are obedient and easy to use.
It's better to have a strong strength type, or a physical type that can handle it is also good.
It would be even better if it was a heterogeneous player like Roshan Damomo!
After all, someone is standing in front of me, and I only have the output environment when I am wearing "pseudo-powered armor".
Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.
I saw a young player who had just walked into the hall, his hands groping above his head in confusion.
Her nickname is Aoao Sesame Paste.
For some reason, her game character is a little different from others.
A pair of furry animal ears were seen emerging from the hair, replacing human ears and looking like some kind of headgear.
"Eh heh heh? Why do my ears grow on the top of my head?"
"Didn't you notice it when you were in the room?"
"I, I, I don't know, there is no mirror in the room, I thought it was because my hair was sticking up from sleep." The expression on his face that made me laugh or cry, I couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise.
Is this considered SSSR?
But there doesn’t seem to be any attribute bonus…
The surrounding players looked excited.
Is this testing krypton gold skin?
Can.
It seems that there is hope for the public beta!!
Taiyi's eyes were shining: "Cat ears! Damn it, there are more and more European emperors!"
Sisi: "Oh, there are more alien friends."
Tails: "Si! Pass the fire!"
Sisi: "Oh, rush!"
One wave after another broke out, and soon there was another commotion among the crowd.
But this time it was not a surprise, but a shock.
"Yeah, yeah! Alien species!"
"Gan! Why are there mice here!"
"Call the guards!"
"Get my spear quickly!"
The first ones to be startled were the players on the edge of the square, and then the commotion spread among the crowd.
"I'm not a mouse...Gan! I'm a player, okay?"
Looking at the people running away from him, the little player in the center of the crowd - or the mouse man, looked dumbfounded.
Is this considered SSSR?
That should be considered right?
But the price is a little bit worse, losing the right to choose a spouse.
Although he is quite satisfied with his appearance, other players - especially female players, don't seem to think so.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to rub him.
Gan!
These pretty dogs!
Is it so real?
Chu Guang, who was standing in front of the elevator tower, also looked puzzled.
Forget about cat ears...
Eighty percent of it is the bad taste of the first generation of managers.
What the hell is this rat about one meter tall?
Before opening the can, he could not see the specific data of the clones in the culture chamber, so this kind of "summoning accident" also happened from time to time.

】
Open the system and enter the player list.
Looking at the latest scan data of the player's training cabin, an expression of interest appeared on Chu Guang's face.
"There are actually no debuffs such as hands and feet, making it difficult to upgrade the sequence level."
However, in comparison, the panel data of the Rat Man is very weak. Except for the perception of 5, the other attributes are only 3, which is equivalent to 60% of the normal adult male.
"The main attribute should be perception."
Chu Guang originally thought that at least the agility attribute would be higher, but it turned out that was not the case.
The only advantage of this gene sequence is probably the BUFF provided by [Fast Synthesis] and [Iron Stomach].
"The resurrection cost of 0.5 units of active material and the synthesis time of 24 hours...this is a bit impressive."
"And the talent of Iron Stomach...if you can overcome the psychological barrier, you should be able to save a lot of food."
In addition, another advantage is probably that it is smaller and can move freely through the ruins.
As for the lack of panel properties...if you can't fill this hole in the first awakening, I'm afraid you can only rely on mechanical modification.
Or take the route of biological or drug enhancement?
For some reason, Chu Guang thought of the Skaven in Warhammer.
The plague army all over the mountains and plains is simply a nightmare for the human empire.
But it's a pity.
The Rat Man here is an orphan...
Chu Guang was thinking in his mind, how about giving this guy a "hidden professional mission", giving him a training cabin when he reaches level three, and letting him out to fight in the wild.
As for the little player with cat ears, what surprised Chu Guang was that her genetic sequence did not have a heterogeneous prefix, and she was just an ordinary agility player.
The only difference is the talent column——
[Beast Ear: I originally planned to create a leopard man, and it was an accident that only the partial explicit expression of the ears was an accident. But apart from the inconvenience of making phone calls, there seems to be no harm in it. Whether you use it or not depends on you, the first-generation manager.

Chu Guang:......
This line of description is not suitable for appearing in the player's attribute bar. Let's change it later.
Standing next to Chu Guang, Yin Fang stared straight at the mouse that spoke human language. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't help but say.
"Before the war... whether it was implanting animal DNA fragments into human embryos or transplanting human DNA fragments into animals, it was a taboo among taboos. How could the person who invented this technology not be
Has anyone discovered, or developed, any of this stuff without any outside funding?”
yes.
How did he do that?
Chu Guang was also curious about this question.
Including the morphogenesis field that even the "former academy D-class prospector" has never heard of.
"Maybe it was made in the shelter."
Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang with a strange expression.
"Are you kidding me? In a shelter? In a half-assed medical lab?"
Chu Guang's eyes lit up and he touched his chin thoughtfully.
"This is an interesting idea. Maybe it's really possible."
To be honest, he didn't think there was anything strange about creating species.
Aren’t mutants an example?
To borrow the words of a corporate employee with a bad drinking capacity, out-of-control technology is flooding this land, and it is not surprising that any strange things happen.
Yin Fang: "..."
Unlike Yin Fang who was surprised by the research and development background of this technology, Heya, who was standing on the other side of Chu Guang, was shocked by the fact that "rats can actually talk".
Although it was in a language she didn't understand at all, she was sure it was speaking!
This is incredible!
"Bears, lizards, and mice with human minds...how do they do it?"
Suddenly, Heya looked towards Chu Guang eagerly, folded her hands and said in a prayer gesture.
"Can you give me a sample? No need for tissue sections, just a little blood!"
"I have authorized the DNA data of the residents of the shelter to you, and you can check it on the terminal in the infirmary."
Although Chu Guang does not expect her to be able to decipher the secrets hidden in the genetic sequence, it is not bad as a project that can be carried out simultaneously with xenogeneic research.
After all, there are only so many alien species active in the northern suburbs, and his players can't always get new samples.
Heya said excitedly.
"Have you finished collecting? Great!"
If the crowd hadn't blocked the road, she would have wanted to rush into the laboratory right now.
Yin Fang, who was standing aside, pinched his eyebrows.
Is it an illusion?
He always felt that except for himself, no one in the entire shelter was normal...
