Lone Wolf studied for a long time and still couldn't figure out how this machine can achieve a horsepower of more than 60.
It's not because the machinery is too complex.
On the contrary, it was because it was "too simple", so simple that he couldn't help but wonder if the game's production team was being lazy.
The principle of the pot camel machine is actually not difficult. In essence, it is nothing more than boiling water. The piston movement drives the crankshaft to rotate and then drives the flywheel to output power.
Referring to the engine, it is actually very easy to ignore the cost-effectiveness and simply want to increase power. Increasing the cylinder volume, increasing the number of cylinders, or increasing the pressure in the cylinder, etc. are all possible.
However, what confused Lone Wolf was that the pot machine in front of him was actually a single-cylinder machine!
Sixty horsepower on a single-cylinder pot machine?
This is no joke.
Lone Wolf suddenly said.
"What is the maximum horsepower of a single-cylinder diesel engine?"
Hearing the young professor's question, Brother Levin was stunned for a moment and answered subconsciously.
"I've heard of 30-horse ones."
Brother Wu Suo also said: "I remember there were 35 horses coming."
The lone wolf nodded.
"almost."
In his impression, there seemed to be 40 or 45 horses, but they were not common. In fact, the more common ones were only about 40 horses.
Agricultural equipment simply does not require such a large amount of horsepower, and generally large equipment with hundreds or thousands of horses cannot use a pot camel machine.
A single-cylinder pot machine can actually reach 60 horsepower?
And it only weighs 500 kilograms?
Lone Wolf couldn't help but shake his head.
"I've never seen anything so outrageous."
Brother Tousuo said with a smile.
"This is also my first time seeing you."
Brother Levin scratched his head and said.
"I don't understand. I didn't understand the Legion's light trucks before when I dismantled them. The design ideas are actually the same. Why is the horsepower of their power equipment slightly larger than the one we copied."
Picking up a belt, Lone Wolf held it in his hand and examined it for a while, then suddenly muttered to himself.
"……What's this?"
Brother Levin was stunned for a moment.
"This...is the engine belt, right?"
Brother Tousuo also nodded.
"I feel so too."
This is nonsense.
Of course Lone Wolf knew that the thing in his hand was a belt, but he had no idea what material it was made of.
"It's not like neoprene..."
Unfortunately, he is neither an expert in materials science nor an expert in engines. He only has a little understanding of these fields because he studies automation design.
"Not just belts, but also gaskets, hoses, O-rings... all the rubber parts are made of materials I've never seen before. Is it an overhead setting?"
Lone Wolf knocked on the shell of the cylinder with a wrench. Hearing the sonorous echo, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
"What the hell? Isn't this piece of shit made of titanium-aluminum alloy?"
Not quite.
But probably something similar.
The more Lone Wolf studied, the more surprised he became.
The game production team was quite smart. They directly used some materials that he had never seen before. It was a design that was unlikely to be realized in reality. He couldn't say that it was completely unreasonable.
The three pillars of modern technology can be summarized as energy, materials, and information. There are many people who know about IC design, but not everyone can make chips.
The game production team did not give a solution, but only gave a general direction. The deeper he dug, the more surprised he became.
Now he finally understands why that guy Yanfeng is so obsessed with this game.
"Something!"
Looking at the lone wolf standing next to the machine muttering, Brother Levin and Brother Zisuo looked at each other, with strange expressions on their faces.
"Should we remind him that this is a game? Maybe what he can't understand is just a line of code from Brother Guang."
Although the two of them can be serious sometimes, they are far from this level of paranoia.
Brother Tousuo scratched the back of his head.
"Well, let's wait for him to realize it himself."
So cute.
Also normal.
There were so many things that everyone didn’t understand when they first came here. Until a month ago, I was still wondering what kind of cement those houses in the wasteland were using. They didn’t collapse after two hundred years. Later, I gradually understood.
It's no surprise.
Anyway, there are seven more of the same pot cameo machine here.
It was enough to keep them busy for a while.

"..."
Two full days have passed since the caravan set off.
Two tons of spirit leaves have been delivered to Boulder City, and Chu Guang learned from Shuyu that Liszt had paid him all 100,000 chips.
It seems that spirit leaves are indeed a hot commodity in Boulder City. Almost as soon as they were shipped to the warehouse, buyers came to the door with chips.
In order to facilitate transactions, Shuyu followed Chu Guang's instructions and opened an account at the Bank of Boulder City. This huge sum of 100,000 chips will be completed in the form of a transfer transaction.
This will be much safer than putting it in a safe.
In addition, the owner of Gray Squirrel Clothing Store recently came to visit again, hoping to purchase another batch of artworks, and said it would be better if the quality of those socks could be slightly worse.
“The quality is a bit worse?”
After listening to Shuyu's report on the phone, Chu Guang said with a strange look on his face, "I have never heard such a strange request."
Shuyu: "I feel strange too...but he didn't tell me the reason. He just asked us to think of a solution."
"Well, this matter is actually easy to say. The production of devil's silk is limited, and we originally planned to develop some alternatives for the sinking market." After a pause, Chu Guang continued to ask, "By the way, the recruitment of personnel is in progress.
how's it going?"
Shuyu: "According to your instructions, I have recruited twenty-three employees to serve in field and internal positions. The salary I offer them is 40 chips per month during the two-month internship period, and 100 chips per month after they become full-time employees.
chips."
The staff salary expenses are 2,300 chips. Counting the monthly rent of 800 and the expenditure budget of 400 chips, the monthly expenses of this office have reached 3,500 chips.
This is no small amount of money.
If you switch to arms, you can buy nearly thirty rifles.
Sure enough, we still have to find ways to open up more ways to make money.
“Have the employee resumes been sorted out?”
Shuyu: "It's been sorted out!"
Chu Guang said immediately.
"Send it to me."
"Okay sir!"
After receiving the resume from Shuyu, Chu Guang glanced at it briefly.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a resume in the talent market of Boulder City, and these personal profiles with photos are just Chu Guang instructing Shuyu to make a simple record of the candidates during the interview.
For example, asking what the other person did before and what special skills they have, and then comparing all the information asked after completing the transcript can effectively screen out dishonest interviewers.
What surprised Chu Guang was that there were actually many people here who had worked in the factories in Boulder City, and one of their resumes stood out to him.
"Once worked as a workshop supervisor at the Boulder City Steel Plant... Is the information on these resumes reliable?"
It's really humiliating for such a person to work in the back office.
Although he is a bit older in his 40s, it is not a problem at all in Chu Guang's opinion.
Shuyu said cautiously: "This... there is no way to verify it. The information on the resume can only be used as a reference. But he gave me the feeling that he has quite a lot of management experience."
Chu Guang nodded and continued.
"You can ask him for me if he is interested in coming to work in a steel factory in the northern suburbs. The salary can be tripled."
Shuyu said seriously.
"I will help you ask, but...according to my observation, these local residents are quite resistant to leaving the Giant Wall. Except for those mobile mercenaries and particularly poor people, few people accept the possibility of leaving the Giant Wall.
field work.”
"It's okay, just ask, don't be too pushy."
Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued.
"In the future, you can go to the talent market in Boulder City more often, whether you go by yourself or send someone to go there, or simply set up a fixed stall there. The factories in Boulder City can't absorb the excess talent, and we can absorb it for them.
"
In short, just dig around as much as possible.
Not only the talents, but also the discarded second-hand equipment, everything that is not needed in Boulder City, can be purchased here in the northern suburbs.
In this way, Boulder City has lost its employment rate, optimized the talent market with an extremely imbalanced supply and demand, and eliminated excess industrial production capacity.
Although he suffered a slight loss, Chu Guang felt that the problem was not big.
What is the spirit of internationalism?
Of course, it is self-sacrifice for others.
Immediately understanding what the manager meant, Shuyu said with a knowing smile.
"I understand, sir."
Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
"Well, as long as you understand what I mean."
Although he looks a bit younger, this young man named Shuyu is surprisingly capable and saves him a lot of work.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang browsed around the official website.
Today's forum is as lively as ever.
The Mole Team and the Edge Team have arrived at the Garbage City. They encountered the Many-legged Beast's lair on the way, but fortunately they were not in danger.
More than twenty multi-legged beasts were all killed. They took off the only valuable gall bladders and skins of those multi-legged beasts, and then continued on their way.
There was also a small episode here.
Although the caravan guards said that the meat of many-legged beasts was inedible, Lao Na still roasted a leg to try it out of curiosity.
Facts have proved that things in the wasteland cannot be eaten casually.
Even with a physique of almost 20 points, I still vomited for half an hour while holding on to a tree...
Except for Mole and the two teams on the edge, the other players are also busy, each with their own things to do. Brother Quanshui is doing the task of the scientific expedition team and has helped Yin Fang collect a lot of valuable information. Mr. Junk is here
Yuanxi Town jungler, hitting the bottleneck of LV10.
There are also professional life players who helped him design the irrigation canals on the north bank of Linghu Lake and the underground drainage system of the Changjiu Farm.
At present, the engineering team that has retained people under the knife is in the midst of intensive construction.
Among them, what surprised Chu Guang the most was that he was troubled by the strong men he sent to the north.
After struggling all the way, this rat man brother finally arrived in Xizhou City with a group of rat boys.
Although many rats fell behind on the road, it was not a big problem for him.
After arriving at the destination, Qiangman quickly relied on his extraordinary fists and kicks, as well as his tricks without martial ethics, to beat the local rats until they were all looking for teeth. They bowed their heads and worshiped him as the Rat King of Xizhou.
The strong man who conquered a huge territory did not stop there. After getting familiar with the terrain in the southern suburbs of Xizhou, he quickly used the radio stations, sleep cabins, batteries and small generators he brought to establish a safe foothold in the southern urban area of Xizhou City.
After getting in touch with the signal tower of the shelter, the map information he explored along the way was also synchronized to the server through the VM.
According to the description in Qiangren's post, the situation there can only be described with two words: "desolate" and "miserable".
The ruins are filled with a lingering rotten stench. Bodies are randomly abandoned on the streets, or hung on viaducts and street lamps. Some people still have slogans insulting the rebels hanging around their necks. Rats, cockroaches and hyenas are everywhere in the streets and alleys.
.
The whole city is like hell!
"...the Ya clan of the Bone Chewing Tribe has looted everything they can. Except for a few survivors who have organized a resistance in the entire city, they are the only ones left."
"Given the way those looters eat one meal and don't care about the next, they probably won't last long, but maybe the Legion's think tank played a role. They started to drive some of the prisoners to farm. I heard that as long as they can grow something to eat,
, they would not be eaten, and the captives worked hard in the fields."
"I really couldn't bear to eat their crops, and the potato chips buried in the ground didn't taste good at all. So I asked my little brothers to be more restrained and wait until the food went into the granary before going to feast."
"In addition, the entire city is not completely under the control of the Bone Chewing Tribe. Although they destroyed all the survivor strongholds on the surface, they did not conquer everyone. Some people still survived."
"Those people called themselves the Resistance Army, hid in sewers and air-raid shelters, and fought guerrillas in the ruins, causing a lot of trouble for the plunderers. Although the Ya clan sent two thousand-man teams to hunt them down, the results were minimal. There
The environment is like a maze.”
"The leader of the Ya clan seems to be planning to establish a foothold in Xizhou City and continue to expand southward. I am trying to find a way to contact the local survivors. They are not many in number and have poor equipment, but they have a high will to fight. If we
If we can provide them with a little help, they may be able to contain the trouble in the north for us."
"It's not difficult to find them. I have more than a hundred of them now. The only thing that gives me a headache now is...how do I make them believe in a talking mouse? Damn it, why is it a mouse! What if I only have one?
Just a cat!”
The post is three pages long.
Chu Guang read the difficult post to the end and made a rough summary of the information inside.
Although Xizhou City fell under the iron hooves of the Bone-Chewing Tribe, it was not completely conquered. There were still many survivors there who were resisting tenaciously.
Since Xizhou City has accumulated a large amount of plundered trophies and slaves, the Ya clan, which plans to use Xizhou City as a base for moving south, cannot leave the resistance organizations alone and can only allocate a large number of manpower to deal with them.
This will be a protracted battle.
Before solving their own troubles, they cannot spare all their strength to continue going south.
Looking at the compiled information, Chu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation in the entire Xizhou City before was a completely dark area for him. No one knew when the predators from the north would come again. From a probabilistic analysis, it could only be after the autumn harvest.
Based on the hard-to-find intelligence, Chu Guang is now basically certain that within at least three months, the bone-chewing tribe in the north will not be able to deal with him.
After sorting out the information in the post, Chu Guang then edited two more tasks to collect information, and the publisher was set to [Forcing people to make things difficult].
However, Chu Guang did not send the task immediately, but set a timer to send it, delaying it until tomorrow morning.
This will make it look less deliberate.
"...It might be a good idea if we can connect with local survivors and support their resistance movement."
Chu Guang touched his chin thoughtfully.
To the south of Vault 404 is Boulder City. The space to the south is too small, and the situation in Qingquan City is complicated. If you want to expand, you can only go north.
Xizhou City is a good choice.
Whether it is manpower or material resources, there are huge reserves there.
The only problem now is that the number of players is still too few. With the gradual expansion of strategic depth, 1100 players are obviously not enough.
"It would be great if the B4 floor could be opened!"
Now is the farming season, whether it is planting vegetables or moving bricks, we need people.
Taking a look that it was getting late, Chu Guang turned off the computer with regret, got up and went back to his room to sleep.
That night.
He had a long, long dream.
In the dream, there were many strangers whose faces could not be seen clearly. There, daddy, daddy called him.
Tired of being shouted at, Chu Guang suddenly woke up from his dream just when he wanted to ask who their mother was.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt the dampness, heat and stickiness behind his back. Chu Guang immediately guessed what happened.
There are no surprises.
He upgraded again.
"...This was too unexpected."
Mumbling, Chu Guang sat up from the bed and moved his limbs to adapt to his strengthened body.
There is no change in the feeling of strength, and the thinking speed seems to be the same as before, but the reaction speed seems to be faster than before, and the vision has also been slightly enhanced.
So what is strengthened this time is agility?
Just as Chu Guang was recalling what he had done yesterday, a row of light blue floating windows suddenly appeared in front of him for the first time in a long time.
And the words in the floating window made him truly feel what it meant to be caught off guard.
【Mission: Tide!】
[Briefing: According to air condition monitoring data, the concentration of mutant slime mold spores active in the air has reached a critical value, and the probability of forming a new mother nest is as high as 97%. This will be a severe test for the survivors in Qingquan City
.]
[Requirement: The "Tide" will arrive within two weeks, resist the invasion of the "Tide", search and eliminate the mother nest north of the Third Ring Road, and completely eliminate the crisis of the Tide! 】
[Reward: B4 floor permissions of Shelter 404]
[Available reinforcements: "200 sleep pods" × 2]
After viewing the mission interface from beginning to end, Chu Guang was stunned.
