Chapter 262 Alpha1.1 version update! And new resurrection point!
"NO!!! I don't believe it! I don't admit it! It's not true!!!"
No. 404 in the Boulder City office, in the living room on the third floor that has been renovated.
After seeing the photo that Si Si risked his life to take, the disillusioned Teng Teng let out a short cry of grief.
After saying those words, she ran back to the room like a gust of wind and closed the door heavily.
The kerosene lamp on the wooden coffee table swayed gently, and the mutated fruits and squirrel biscuits piled on the iron plate lengthened the shadow.
The four people sitting at the table looked at each other.
Sesame paste blushed and said, "It's actually quite pretty, right?"
This sentence was originally meant to comfort Teng Teng.
But now it seems that she has been brewing for a long time.
Si Si's expression was subtle: "Emmm... I can't deny it, but maybe this kind of beauty is not the effect Teng Teng wants."
"It seems I'm not the only one who thinks that the design of this dress is very bold," Yaya stared at the photo for a while and muttered in a low voice, "Thankfully, I have seriously reflected on whether I am too dirty."
Tai Tai said with an idea.
"Could it be that Teng Teng actually has talents that she hasn't discovered yet?"
Si Si warned.
"It's best not to say this to yourself."
Tails: "Ouch!"
Looking at the tightly closed wooden door on the side, Sesame Paste said with some worry.
"...Is it really okay?"
Sisi: "Emmm...are you talking about Teng Teng or Lao Bai, Fang Chang and the others?"
Sesame paste: "Eh?"
Crow Crow immediately understood what Si Si meant, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Teng Teng is very generous! He won't hold grudges!"
Really?
The corners of Sisi's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile, and he quietly stood up from the sofa, stretched out and said.
"I'm a little sleepy, I'll get off first."
Fake.
She wasn't sleepy at all.
Mainly because I want to go to the forum and watch the excitement.
The chat before bed ended early.
The time in the game is already nine o'clock in the evening, but the real time is exactly nine o'clock in the morning. Since I lay down at six o'clock last night, it's time to get up and move around.
Sesame Paste picked up a plate of squirrel cookies and stood up.
"I'll take some to feed Rourou."
Because he is a "pet", Rourou can only stay with the two-headed cow. He cannot go to the streets at will, nor can he live in streets where people live.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the reservoir area, otherwise it would be too pitiful.
Taiyi, who was lying on the table and yawning, was planning to go to sleep. When he heard Rourou was being fed, he immediately stood up with a loud noise and said with bright eyes.
"I will go with you!"
…
Official website forum.
Today is as lively as ever.
Brother Mole is vividly telling anecdotes about his journey in the post, and also adds a few hand-drawn illustrations by himself.
While passing through the Garbage City, they met a group of mercenaries who claimed to be the Bone Chewing Tribe. They not only carried legion weapons, but also a Conqueror tank.
Due to language barriers and many other reasons, it was not until they captured these mercenaries that they realized that this group of people was not from the Bone Chewing Tribe, but a group of fake mercenaries.
The reason why they called themselves the Bone Chewing Tribe was because they wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the passing caravans. And the "Conqueror" tank was made of wood...
In addition to Brother Mole, there are also many other interesting posts.
Irena and Tomato Scrambled Eggs are exchanging cooking skills across servers, and Makabazi is sharing how he uses the talent of a "plant whisperer" to communicate with plants. I have never heard of such an outrageous thing. I am bored to fight a tiger.
It sounded outrageous.
There were also discussions on the cultivation of tobacco leaves and corn, debates on how to use simple materials to make piston aero engines, and exchanges on efficient preparation techniques for RDX and polyisobutylene.
At this moment, a line of posts suddenly appeared in the forum.
Teng Teng: “@白骇交狠@了日向日葵@……”
Ye Shi: "What are you doing? What's the matter with me, Aite? Just tell me if you want me. (Funny)"
Fujito: "I miss you so much! Show your weapons! (╯‵□′)?╰ひ╯"
Lao Bai: "?"
Fang Chang: “??”
Gale: "???"
Night 10: "!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"
Irena: "Surprised, what did you do to the lovely Teng Teng? (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Shocked, is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morals? (Funny)"
Just when everyone was confused about this post and were speculating about what happened, Crow Crow suddenly appeared.
Crow: "Hahahaha, let me show you something good.o(*≧▽≦)ツ(Picture)(Picture)(Picture)"
Crow Crow: "Huh? It didn't work last time, but it actually passed the trial this time?"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Damn it! Isn't this scale bigger than what I drew?!"
Debt-eyed: "(nosebleed)"
Commander Quan Shui: "If you don't understand, just ask, is this content you can see without paying?"
Fujito: "You LSPs! These clothes are not meant for such occasions, okay? Don't you feel weird? (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"
Ye Shi: "Huh? Although this is an accident, I feel... it seems that it is quite appropriate to be unexpected?"
Teng Teng: "Go to hell! (angry)"
Night 10: "QAQ"
Facts have proved that serious chatting can never inspire the enthusiasm of melon-eating people more than driving.
A few photos instantly increased the number of reservation players.
Even better than the promotional PV!
Although Boss Ya deleted the post at the speed of light due to Teng Teng’s threats, the photos were already saved by the speed of the netizens.
Just when the posts on the forum were flooding the screen like crazy, the small group of the Cow Horse Club was also very lively.
Ye Shi: "Gan! Didn't that NPC from Dog Day say that Teng Teng's artwork was bought by the nobles in the inner city? Why did he appear in the nightclub!"
Kuangfeng: "I recalled it carefully, and actually that NPC didn't say that. (Squints)"
Fang Chang: "It's my fault. It's my guess that the inner city was sold... I thought that the mercenaries wouldn't buy clothes that are inconvenient for movement. The residents of the outer city can't afford them at all, and they can only be sold to the inner city."
I bought it from a nobleman, but I didn’t expect that it would be sold to a nightclub. This was my mistake. (Embarrassing)”
Fang Chang is really to blame for this matter. When I wrote the guide, I wrote too much about it.
If I didn't have too many expectations, I probably wouldn't be so disappointed.
I hope Teng Teng won't be too depressed.
But actually think about it.
Soft power needs to be supported by hard power.
Boulder City has been the big brother in the entire southern part of the River Valley Province for a century. Let alone the northern suburbs, even the survivor settlements in the entire River Valley Province are no different from country bumpkin villages in their eyes.
Unless these clothes are worn on the merchants of Ideal City.
But Fang Chang always feels that this may be more difficult than convincing the people in the inner city of Boulder City to accept new things.
Lao Bai: "I don't even dare to show up at a large social death scene. (Embarrassing)"
Ye Shi: "@光, Brother Guang, help! Teng Teng is going to kill someone! Send an announcement quickly to divert everyone's attention! QAQ"
Light: "Okay. (squinting)"
Lao Bai: "!!"
Fang Chang: “!!!”
WC really has mosquitoes: "What the hell? Is A Guang your biological father?!"
Kuangfeng: "Aguang is indeed peeking at the screen. (Squinting)"
Ye Shi: "Aguang is so awesome! (Surprise)"
Quit smoking: "Damn, you are so good at licking, I can't even stand it!"
Ye Shi: "Get out! Can this be called licking? This is called gratitude from the heart!"
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Ugh vomit vomit!"
After closing the group chat, Chu Guang took a look at the forum and roughly understood what was going on.
Although it is slightly different from the script I expected, what should I say?
He felt that this was not entirely a bad thing.
Although the artwork of Vine House failed to conquer the hearts of the people in the inner city, it at least conquered the nights in Boulder City.
Even the nobles in the inner city of Boulder City cannot live in poverty every night. The emperor sometimes sneaks out of the palace to play, let alone the ministers in the palace?
It's just that in most cases, they don't let the general public know.
Coupled with those mercenaries and merchants who have made a fortune from trade, if the "artwork" of small players can become popular among them, maybe these products will be sold not only in Boulder City, but also in
Go further afield.
That will be a broader market.
And this is a good start.
"For dad's sake, the announcement will be sent out one day in advance."
Looking at the team of cows and horses being chased by Teng Teng, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile and clicked the mouse with his index finger.
Just as the melon-eaters and LSPs on the forum were frantically circulating the photos taken by Mr. Sisi, an announcement suddenly appeared.
【Wasteland OL closed test server Alpha1.1 version update announcement.】
There wasn't the slightest warning.
Every update of "Wasteland OL" is so unexpected.
Everyone who was exchanging study materials one second was immediately attracted by this blockbuster news the next second.

2. Inspur system!
】
【
optimization:
1. A richer NPC store is now open for purchasing neural connection equipment. The most basic unmanned reconnaissance vehicle requires an intelligence attribute of more than 15.
2. The in-game season has entered spring, with more vegetation and wild animals, and the nights will no longer be safe!
3. Fix a few BUGs.
4.……

[Detailed explanation of the "Tide" system: The suitable environment in the urban area will cause the mutant slime mold to reproduce rapidly. When the spore concentration in the air reaches a certain threshold, the incubation chamber in a stable state will undergo probabilistic mutations and form a new mother nest.
It is predicted that the wave will occur in the past two weeks, players please be prepared, this may be the most severe test since the launch of the server!】
[New NPC joining: Orion Yu Hu from Bate Street will join Vault 404. As an experienced and calm hunter, he is proficient in making traps and tracking prey. 】
[In addition, the Hunter Guild has been officially established, and the first president will be Yu Hu. Congratulations to the hunter players who now have their own organization! 】
"Developer Diary: Alpha1.1 Version"
Guang: "Hello everyone, this new version is quite hard-won. In fact, the version number we planned before was 1.01, but because our potato supplier is powerful enough, we now have more potatoes... I
means server resources."
"In short, 400 lucky people will be born in the new version. The announcement of the internal test qualifications will be later, and it is expected to be made public after it goes online tomorrow."
"All the staff of the "Wasteland OL" game production team promise you that although we are still in the early stages of our business, we will still do our best to provide as much gaming experience as possible for the young players in the closed beta test and make the game as popular as possible.
The world has reached sufficient perfection. And the much-anticipated public beta version will also arrive at the final stage of game development."
"In fact, we already have a specific timetable, but it involves corporate confidentiality, so it is not convenient to disclose it."
"Next is a description of the new version. We have introduced a new wave of concepts in the game. Although in the early stages of the game, most of our players were opponents of people in the wasteland, but in fact it is not just the people who are very threatening.
The wastelanders armed with thermal weapons, as well as those terrifying mutated creatures. They have been silent all winter, and they have become hungry, whether it is death claws or slime mold."
"During the wave, the mutant slime mold will reproduce crazily, and high concentrations of spores will even form mist-like spore clouds in the air. Excessive intake can lead to respiratory infections and even some tissue lesions. It is recommended that players with low physical fitness go deep into
Try to wear a gas mask when exploring the city, and players with physical constitutions should not take it lightly."
"Searching and clearing are the only ways to end the wave. We cannot expect them to disappear out of thin air, let alone watch them destroy the home we built with our hands."
"The 'Hunters' Guild' came into being!"
"Accept the hunter profession, search for the source of spore release and eliminate potential dangers, and you will receive generous rewards and unlock rare achievements and medals!"
"Information about the mother nest, incubator, and mutant slime mold has been updated in the official website database. For more gameplay details, please explore it yourself in the game!"
…
The first day the new version goes online.
The number of hunter players doubled instantly.
Except for the life professional players who had no reaction, almost all combat professional players have attached themselves to the hunter profession and registered as members of the Hunter Guild.
As the president of the Hunter Guild, Yu Hu did not disappoint the expectations of the players. He used the budget allocated to him by Chu Guang to find some experienced hunters from Beit Street to teach the players the skills of hunting and tracking prey, and
Organize players to carry out search missions in Qingquan City.
More than 200 hunter players were divided into more than 50 teams, starting from the Huayuan Street subway station in three different directions, and started a carpet-like search towards the area from the Fifth Ring Line to the Fourth Ring Line in Qingquan City to find the source of the spores.
The combat effectiveness and resilience of slime mold alien species are positively correlated with the spore concentration in the air. When the spore cloud weakens the light on the surface to a certain extent, even during the day it will no longer be safe.
It is unrealistic to nip the wave in the cradle. Most of the mutants that make up the wave come from mature mother nests, and these mother nests are usually located in the city center. The oldest ones are even more than a century old.
However, if the mutant incubator can be found and destroyed before it forms a new mother nest, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the concentration of spores in the air in the northern suburbs, thereby weakening the intensity of the wave and the combat effectiveness of the gnawers.
This is Heya's speculation.
It is also the first task Chu Guang gave to the Hunter Guild.
Just as the professional combat players were heading towards the urban area of Qingquan City, the exit of the B3 floor of Vault 404 was busy.
Several young players from the strength and physique systems were dragging cargo carts to move the culture cabins from the shelter into the tunnel outside the exit.
These cultivation cabins were lined up in front of the guard post at the door, and not far from these cultivation cabins, parked was a truck that had just been assembled.
This is the latest work of Goblin Technology.
Since the sponsor who placed the order is a respected manager, this truck also rarely received a slightly more normal name "e-mule".
As the name suggests, this is a pure electric truck. From the appearance, it is basically modeled after the Legion's light truck, except that the length of the cargo box is increased, and the pot machine is replaced with a battery and motor.
The structure of the whole vehicle adopts the conventional layout of steel cab and wooden body. The total weight is up to 4.3 tons, with 4 wheels and a body nearly 5 meters long. The maximum engine output power can reach 80 horsepower, and the rated maximum load capacity is 1.8
tons, in fact it is not a big problem if it is overloaded to 3 tons!
In addition to the advantages of zero displacement, excellent battery life and low noise, the vehicle has excellent off-road performance and the high chassis design can adapt well to rugged terrain.
Not only that, the connecting parts reserved on the front of the car can also be used to weld bulletproof plates and machine guns.
The wooden boards on both sides of the cargo box are also designed to be unfoldable from the outside, making it easy to install four anti-aircraft guns on the truck.
This medium transport truck can be turned into an armed truck whenever necessary!
In addition to its domineering appearance and wide range of uses, this truck also has high technical content.
The energy storage component is a series-connected battery pack of 102 solid-state hydrogen batteries of the same type as KV-1, with a total weight of up to 102 kilograms. It is installed in the back box of the truck for easy disassembly and replacement.
And this is also the first order the Lister Factory has received from the shelter since it started production!
Different from fuel trucks, the structure of pure electric trucks will be relatively simple. The core technology is basically concentrated on energy storage, and there are not many technical difficulties in power components.
Therefore, in addition to batteries, other components including motors are basically "independently developed" by workshops and factories in industrial areas.
The only drawback of this truck is probably that it is inconvenient to obtain energy.
Unlike the wood-burning pot machine, the "No. 102 battery pack" used in this truck is expensive to produce. The production cost of just one set is as high as 12,000 silver coins.
Not only that, the electricity outside the shelter mainly relies on thermal power generation, which in the final analysis is still burning wood. Before the energy structure is improved, there is an additional energy conversion process out of thin air, and electric trucks will consume more firewood.
However, considering the ventilation environment in the tunnel, this is a last resort choice. After all, it is impossible to move the wood-burning truck underground.
If you really do that, I'm afraid you won't be able to run for long and everyone will get carbon monoxide poisoning.
"How much does this truck cost?"
The Silver Sword put down the training cabin, raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the truck not far away and couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Yin's father, who was standing aside, said with a mean smile.
"I don't know, but I just know that you definitely can't afford it."
Silver Sword: "Gan, why did I buy this thing? I just asked out of curiosity."
Silver Hand: "I would rather know where these cultivation cabins are sent."
Silver Sword thought for a moment and said: "It's probably Shelter No. 117!"
"Vault 117?" Silver Hand looked surprised, "Why were you sent there?"
Dad of Silver: "You are stupid! In addition to the 100 rooms on the B floor, is there still room in Vault 404? If the operator does not open a new server, they can only move the resurrection points of new players to other shelters.
Got it!"
Silver Hand: "Damn it, aren't we the last players in Vault 404?"
Silver Sword: "Not necessarily. If the fourth floor is opened again, there will be another 600 good brothers... However, the resurrection point must be transported by old players."
Baiyin's father sighed: "Indeed, it's so true... I am both a player and a father. I have never been so worried about playing other games."
As soon as I said this sentence, I received two looks.
The thought of the ID thing made them angry, and the two of them decided to ignore this scam for an hour.
…
All 400 cultivation cabins have been displayed in the tunnel.
"Electronic Mule" medium-sized transport trucks will deliver these culture cabins to Shelter No. 117 located under the Fa Yuen Street subway station in 8 times at a speed of 50 units per trip.
After the players' continuous efforts, the tunnel from Vault 404 to Vault 117 has been completely opened, and the mutated creatures and incubators along the way have been completely cleared.
The 7-kilometer-long tunnel takes an hour if you walk, but if you take the Iron Horse 60, it will only take ten minutes at an average speed of 30 yards per hour.
New players will be resurrected in Vault 117, located under Fa Yuen Street subway station.
There is a controllable fusion reactor there, and wireless power supply facilities can power the cultivation chamber.
There are complete living facilities in Shelter 117, and the underground passage can be connected to Shelter 404, making transportation very convenient.
In addition, 200 sleep chambers have been installed at the save points of outposts and long-term farms, as well as public hotels for lying down, which can meet the offline needs of players at any time.
As for the management of newbies, there is no need to worry at all.
After obtaining the administrator authority of Vault 117, the entire shelter management system has been connected to the main server of Vault 404.
Chu Guang authorized some of his authority to Xiao Qi.
The cameras in the shelter have almost no blind spots. As long as they are within the signal coverage of the shelter, he can keep track of the situation in the shelter at any time.
If something unexpected happens, Xiao Qi will notify him immediately.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, Chu Guang even granted it the right to handle emergencies.
When a special situation involving a moderate violation or above occurs, Xiaoqi can directly follow the management regulations to cut off the power to the specific numbered culture chamber, and then report the "fault".
The entire process will be completed within 2 to 3 frames, and is noted in the shelter management regulations in the form of a "circuit breaker mechanism".
To put it bluntly, just unplug the network cable.
It took a whole morning, and with the cooperation of players and NPCs, these four hundred training cabins were finally delivered to Shelter 117 and placed in separate rooms.
After completing these things, Chu Guang immediately started the synthesis program and began to generate clones of the players.
These 400 newbies will be online in three days, half of them are professional combat players and half are professional life players.
The battle against alien species not only tests the shelter's combat effectiveness, but also its logistical capabilities.
Chu Guang needs not only a large number of professional combat players to fill the front line, but also needs bullets and artillery shells to be continuously sent to the front line.
Only in this way can the safety of the rear be ensured.
Chu Guang had high expectations for this batch of fresh leeks.
Looking at the door of Vault 117, he was wearing the power armor of the previous manager and said with a happy smile on his face.
"Not surprisingly, this should be the last group of players in the B-round test."
"If the idea of sending the cultivation cabin to other shelters as resurrection points is feasible, we can focus on searching for information about the shelters in the future."
At this moment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the communication channel.
"Owner!"
Before Chu Guang could ask what was going on, Xiao Qi continued.
"The players you sent to investigate the Fifth Ring Road seem to have discovered something extraordinary..."
