Chapter 300 If it doesn’t work, just imagine yourself as a missile
North of Shuguang City.
A group of refugees appeared in the sight of the patrol.
In fact, as early as when these people passed through Yuanxi Town, the sentries on duty discovered them. It was impossible for so many people to cross through the forest and could only walk along the main road.
Although there are usually refugees joining Dawn City one after another, it is rare for more than 300 people to leave together like this.
Not daring to take it lightly, the patrol leader, carrying an Arbiter rifle on his back, led five team members to meet him, and shouted from a distance of fifty meters.
"Who are you?"
While shouting, he carefully observed the group of people opposite.
There were men and women in the team, old people and children... They didn't look like predators, but they couldn't let their guard down completely.
The leader of the team took a few steps forward...
"We are survivors in Xizhou City. The looters destroyed our home... You said on the radio that you would take in the homeless. We have no place to go. Please take us in."
"Xizhou City? Are there any living people besides the looters there?" a guard from the patrol team muttered in a low voice.
Another guard whispered.
"It does sound strange. Maybe the Ya clan doesn't have enough manpower to control the entire city... isn't there a resistance organization there?"
The captain of the patrol team was also confused, but he still reported the situation truthfully to his superiors through the communicator hanging on his ear.
Didn't have to wait long.
The superior quickly issued instructions to take him in.
After receiving the order, the patrol leader raised his voice and continued.
"We are willing to take you in, but only if you are willing to hand over your weapons."
There was a commotion among the refugees.
There was obvious hesitation in some people's eyes.
Giving up weapons means putting your life in the hands of others.
However, the man in the lead was very straightforward and agreed without even a second of hesitation.
"no problem!"
"As long as you can ensure our safety."
The equipment of these guards is much better than theirs. The iron tube rifles on our side are like fire sticks compared to theirs. Even if they are kept, they will be of no use.
The patrol leader nodded.
"Definitely."
"The new alliance will protect every resident who abides by order."
"Please come with me."
…
"Refugee Home" is located on the northwest side of Shuguang City, close to the resettlement village on the west side of the farm, and not far from the trading station and commercial street on the north side of the farm.
As a dormitory-style apartment for refugees, the living area per person here is not large, with four beds crammed into one room.
But no one is finding fault.
The house is sheltered from wind and rain, has clean beds and quilts, and every room even has windows.
For homeless refugees, this is a paradise!
In most cases, it is not easy to borrow a straw-covered barn, and having a room to sleep in is beyond their imagination.
The staff at the refugee home also did not expect that the patrol team would actually bring back so many people.
There were more than 300 hungry refugees, and several staff members were busy with counting, cooking, and dividing them into dormitories.
Due to manpower shortage, some staff from the trading post, which also belongs to the logistics department, were temporarily transferred to help take care of the elderly, women and children.
"be good."
Looking at the sleeping child curled up in his mother's arms, Shuanghe touched his head, stuffed a bottle of double-ended milk into his mother's hand, and said softly.
"Take it."
This was originally her dinner.
But it doesn't matter if she drinks one less bottle.
Tears flashed in the woman's eyes, and she tremblingly stretched out her hand to accept them.
"Thanks."
Shuanghe curled his lips.
"You're welcome, that's how we were taken in by the managers in the first place."
But the conditions at that time were not as good as they are now.
Without disturbing the sleeping child, Shuanghe planned to take care of the others, but the woman suddenly stretched out her skinny hand and grabbed her arm.
"Wait, wait a minute, we just met a group of people on the road. They were wearing black armor, eight of them. I don't know if they are your people, but they gave me a very bad feeling."
Black armor?
Shuanghe looked at her in surprise and said seriously.
"I will report the situation to the Guard."
The refugees quickly received the promised hot water and food. Although it was just a bowl of green wheat porridge, it was much better than the roots and bark they ate on the road.
There is even a meaty flavor in the soup!
Everyone was devouring it.
After they finish eating, Luca will take someone to register their identities and introduce or arrange suitable jobs for them based on their abilities.
The police station next to the apartment.
The leader of the refugees was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, with a worried expression on his face.
Just ten minutes ago, he was invited here and learned from the guard on duty that the administrator of the new alliance wanted to talk to him.
At this time, the door opened.
A blue power armor walked in.
Recognizing this person as the manager of the new alliance at a glance, the man stood up in surprise and even wanted to kneel down to salute, but Chu Guang raised his hand to stop him.
"No need to be polite, just sit down. I'm just here to understand the situation."
Just after the meeting to finalize the plan for the Northern Expedition, Chu Guang heard about the refugees and came over to take a look.
Honestly.
After seeing their situation, Chu Guang became more determined in the Northern Expedition.
It's not entirely because of kindness or soft-heartedness.
From a strategic perspective, there is Boulder City in the south, and the resistance to southward expansion is too great. The new alliance can only increase its strategic depth northward.
If those looters are allowed to continue burning, killing and looting, the entire central part of the valley province may become a no man's land.
No matter how fertile the land is, someone has to cultivate it.
The guard on duty brought an iron stool for Chu Guang. Chu Guang nodded and thanked him, sat down opposite the man, and spoke frankly.
"The guard should have told you my identity, so I won't introduce myself. What's your name?"
The man said with a respectful expression.
"My name is Zebra, sir."
Chu Guang's mouth twitched slightly, his expression a little strange.
Keenly aware of the subtlety in the manager's expression, the man quickly continued.
"Please give me your name, sir!"
Chu Guang said casually.
"Well... then let's go to Maban."
This man didn't have any special features, he was neither tall nor short, and he was the kind of person who would be hard to find in a crowd. Chu Guangshi didn't know what to name him, so he simply gave him a random name.
However, what surprised Chu Guang was that this guy liked this new name quite a lot and said with joy.
"Thank you, sir!"
Chu Guang coughed lightly.
"Let's stop talking here, tell me about the situation in Xizhou City."
Ma Ban sat upright on the sofa, his expression became serious.
"What do you want to know about?"
Chu Guang asked.
"There are as many looters out there as there are survivors."
"The predators...are you talking about the Ya clan? I'm afraid there are quite a few of them," Maban said with a heavy expression. "Originally, at the beginning of the year, they only had ten thousand-man teams, but then the snow melted, and many neighboring provinces
Many looters have defected to them, and now there are probably 20,000 to 30,000 of them."
Chu Guang nodded.
This number is similar to what he learned from "Brother Nan".
Being able to raise an army of tens of thousands in the wasteland, the strength of the Bone-Chewing Tribe cannot be underestimated.
In particular, these people not only took over the equipment and command personnel of the Legion Expeditionary Force, but also received the support of the Torch Church.
This battle will not be easy.
Maban paused and continued.
"As for the survivors... there should be quite a few. I know of four to five thousand people. In fact, it should be a bit more."
"So many?" Chu Guang looked at him in surprise, "How did you escape the predators with so many of you?"
Maban explained.
"Xizhou City's underground transportation network connects underground commercial streets and residential areas. We are familiar with the terrain there and use the subway to deal with the predators. Although the firepower of those predators was much stronger than ours, they only destroyed our homes on the surface.
, the underground world is still under our control..."
Only then did Chu Guang remember that Xizhou City was just a small city surrounded by mountains and rivers. There were no ultra-high-density residences there, and there were no mother nests that released mutant slime molds.
In other words, there are no nibblers there.
Replaced by other alien species.
"Since you can deal with the predators, why did you suddenly choose to leave?"
A bitter expression appeared on Ma Ban's face.
"Because of the plague... no one wanted to leave their hometown, but the plague broke out there. We had no food to eat, and our neighbors didn't have any extra food to lend us, so we had no choice but to leave."
plague?
Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.
Is this forcing someone to hide something from him?
If I remembered correctly, I should have asked him to attack the looters' granary, but I never said that he would harass the local survivors.
Of course, it is also possible that I am overthinking it.
The accumulation of corpses itself is prone to rat infestations, insect infestations and plagues. Even if there is not this fat rat that is forcing people to suffer, there will be no shortage of rats and cockroaches in Xizhou City.
The number of little brothers it can develop is limited, so we cannot arbitrarily blame all bad things done by rats on him.
It's just that this guy didn't mention this at all on the forum...
At this moment, Chu Guang's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Did you hear our broadcast?"
When the New Alliance was established, he had a radio station set up to promote the New Alliance's refugee resettlement policy, but there has been no movement.
There aren't many survivor settlements with radios, and even if they do, not everyone can hear them.
For example, there is a radio in Old Leech's castle, but he will never plug it into a speaker and play it for all the survivors to listen to.
This must be the first time for a large number of immigrants attracted by "Voice of the Alliance".
"Yes," Ma Ban nodded and said gratefully, "your broadcast made us determined. Although everyone initially doubted whether it was a smoke bomb released by looters, we have nothing else.
Chosen…Thank you for delivering on your promise.”
"You're welcome, I will definitely do what I promised," Chu Guang paused and continued, "Do you know radio?"
Maban said immediately.
"Know a little bit."
Chu Guang asked next.
"Literacy?"
Ma Ban: "Can read and write."
Very good.
A happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face, and he nodded approvingly.
"very good!"
Chu Guang is now in need of a local man with sufficient abilities to unite the members of the resistance organization in Xizhou City on his behalf to cooperate with the new alliance's military operation to be launched next month.
However, we cannot talk to outsiders about the Northern Expedition yet.
Chu Guang thought for a moment and decided to test his ability first, so he spoke.
"I will ask the staff of the logistics department to contact you in a moment, and you will cooperate with them to complete the registration of the new resident's identity information."
Hearing these words, Ma Ban felt excited for a moment.
Good guy.
Is this to promote yourself?!
With excitement in his heart, Ma Ban nodded quickly.
"I will do my best to cooperate!"
Chu Guang stood up from the chair, smiled and said.
"Well, I'm looking forward to your performance!"

Tails: "Hey! Did you update the map as soon as Tails' front legs left?! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"
Si Si: "Northern Expedition Plan...is this another new expansion pack?"
Luo Yu: "I just got the VM! This is so exciting!"
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: “Hahahahaha, it’s gone up, it’s gone up! (Excited)”
Professor Yang, King of Lightning: "Silver coins! As we all know, when a new map is released or an expansion pack is released, the trading price of game coins will rise accordingly! The variable temperature jacket sounds awesome! And there is going to be a war soon, so the price of silver coins will definitely increase.
Take a wave. (Proud)"
Don't be ridiculous: "Hey, I thought the water was rising, so I was so scared that I read the announcement again. (Expletive)"
Makabazi: "Don't worry, it won't affect my farming!"
Gale: "I don't know how to complain, but the temperature-controlled jacket... is actually a blue jacket."
Irena: "I understand, I no longer have to worry about wearing a novice outfit when going out, so I'm losing out on the Teng Teng Hut? (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Sell the Tengteng stocks! (Funny)"
Teng Teng: "Wait a minute, are you buying the clothes I make just because you have no choice? QAQ"
Ye Shi: "How is that possible! The clothes made by Teng Teng are so beautiful! Last time I went to Boulder City, Elder Brother Fang stared at them for a long time. (Funny)"
Irena: "I think there is something wrong with you all, but I have no evidence. (Funny)"
Fujito: "(*??)?╰ひ╯"
Fang Chang: "(Too scared to speak.jpg)"
Although it is not an update announcement, it still aroused discussion among many players after the announcement was issued.
The blue jacket is now available for purchase!
As one of the novice benefits, the blue jacket that adaptively adjusts temperature and breathability can be said to be the only black technology that players can come into contact with during the novice stage.
Unless it is extremely cold or hot, a blue coat is enough to meet the newbie's clothing needs.
However, this thing has always been limited before, with an average of three sets per person. Equipment that is damaged cannot be repaired or repurchased.
Therefore, most players are reluctant to wear blue jackets when traveling far away, and will change their clothes before fighting.
In the old days when cotton cloth was not available, everyone would be covered in animal skins and dressed more like plunderers than plunderers.
As for the Mind Interference Tower, it's even more interesting.
Looking at the description of the facility, it seems that it can exert psychic suggestions on aliens with specific mental frequencies and transmit negative emotions to them to achieve the effect of driving them away. The aliens with lower minds are more strongly affected, and the aliens with higher minds can understand more emotions.
If you think about it carefully, this thing is an artifact!
Since we can drive wild monsters out of the safe zone through the emotion of fear, shouldn't we also be able to gather them into specific areas through the emotion of joy?
Good guy.
As long as the psychic interference tower is opened in the opposite direction, wouldn't it be more convenient to spawn monsters in the future?
Maybe it can also instill impure psychological hints into the alien species and accelerate the reproduction of specific populations in the area!
Apart from the two big news items, "Blue Jackets are available for purchase" and "Psychic Interference Tower", the topics discussed by players are mainly focused on the Northern Expedition.
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
A new expansion pack is coming!
Commander Quanshui: "Hahahaha! I really guessed it right! The overhaul of the corps system is indeed paving the way for the new expansion pack! (Proud)"
I'm the worst: "Niu Pi, Niu Pi, Cow's batch."
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Speaking of which, Lao Bai, what theory did you order?"
Lao Bai: "Light infantry."
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Damn, I thought you would choose motorization! (Surprised)"
Fang Chang: "You don't understand the version well enough. The corps system regulates alliance equipment and does not restrict private equipment. In other words, we can use silver coins to buy our own rifles and spend our own money to buy ammunition."
The edge of the water: "Gan, then your logistics point is of no use?"
Fang Chang: "It's useful, who says it's useless! For example, if you point to the 'Special Operations' branch under the light infantry doctrine, the cost of light infantry equipment is -50%. What's the concept of a half discount? 25 logistics points can be exchanged for a set containing
The five-type exoskeleton 'Light Cavalry' suit! Although it can only be used in wartime or special missions, there is no contribution level limit, and equipment losses are borne by the alliance."
Of course, there is a replenishment time for broken equipment. The more high-end equipment, the slower the replenishment speed, so you should take care of it if you can.
It doesn't matter if a person dies, it only lasts for three days anyway.
But if the equipment is broken, the battle score will be lost.
In other words, money is deducted.
Lao Bai: "In addition to the light cavalry suit, the 'heavy cavalry' suit also has the label of light infantry equipment. The original price is 200 logistics points. After the discount, it only costs 100 points. If you buy a senior citizen in the store, you will get an extra 100,000 silver! Use logistics points to redeem it, which is comparable.
It’s much cheaper to buy silver coins! (Baring teeth)”
Each level of the corps increases by 1 scale and 1 logistics, which is equivalent to 10 points for 10 people. The fastest you can get is a light cavalry exoskeleton at LV3.
Every ten levels is a stage. Upgrading from level F to level E will award an additional 10 skill points. Throwing all of them into logistics is equivalent to 100 more logistics points, which can be directly exchanged for a set of "heavy cavalry".
Corps level is much easier to upgrade than individual sequence level. Fang Chang has studied the experience curve and the threshold is basically at the time of upgrading.
Before the start of the Northern Expedition, as long as you are not too aggressive, it is not difficult to reach LV10 and advance to the E-level corps.
In short, "Special Operations" under the light infantry doctrine, compared to "Human Sea Assault", is specially designed for small-scale corps that intend to take an elite route.
But if you are willing to raise part of your own military expenses, buy your own ammunition and basic equipment, and forcefully increase the scale, the game officials will not interfere.
As long as you can reduce battle losses, achieve greater results, and use high profits to cover the out-of-pocket costs, players who choose this path may not necessarily make less.
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Hey, you can't afford to offend rich people... I'll just focus on mobile warfare."
Indebted eyes: "The right line in the sea of people is yyds! The devil has twenty-five steps! A real man should fight with a bayonet! (Funny)"
The edge of the water was stroked: "Ganggun, don't make noises, I will think about it and make a decision."
WC is really a mosquito: "Hahaha! Do you even need to think about this? You want me to definitely blindly pick the 'firepower advantage'! Lao Bai, apply to leave the team, I want to fly solo!"
Lao Bai: "That's right."
WC is really a mosquito: "Damn! How heartless! You won't even try to persuade me to stay!"
Lao Bai: "What's the point of retaining me? You won't go to the front line, and we will limit your performance. It's good to support you from behind. (Squints and smiles)"
Kuangfeng: "I agree!"
WC is really full of mosquitoes: "The Goblin Corps is recruiting pilots and gunners! Pilots with agility are preferred. There are no restrictions on artillery. Send a private message to sign up!"
Luo Yu: "Me, me, me! Is it okay for the newbie at LV3?"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "No problem! Teaching and skills are guaranteed! (baring teeth)"
…
Mosquitoes really aren't kidding.
The next day, there were about a hundred newbies standing on the runway of the airport near the military camp. Although many people walked around anxiously and then left, most of them still stayed.
Mosquitoes counted people.
71 people in total.
50 of them are newcomers to the agility system who are here to fly planes, and the rest are here to shoot guns.
good!
energetic!
Mosquito looked at these rookies happily, cleared his throat and shouted.
"The station where the plane has passed is on the left, and the station where the plane has not been on is on the right."
A newbie raised his hand.
"Coach! Does the glider count?"
"I'm parachuting!"
"I played War Thunder!"
Very satisfied with how these newcomers called themselves, Mosquito said with a smile.
"Then let me say it again, the stations you have visited are on the left, the stations you have not visited are on the right, and the stations you have visited in the game are in the middle!"
The crowd lined up again.
It was a sparse crowd, with a few people still standing on the left, but no one at all on the right.
Mosquito nodded with satisfaction.
Even if you have tried it in the game, the 0.1 basis is still slightly better than the 0 basis. At least it can avoid some common sense mistakes.
For example, overloading may cause you to "go offline".
For example, to save ammunition, we landed with aerial bombs attached.
What?
I wonder if I can drive it back?
Is this important to the Goblin Corps?
Naturally, he would prepare the most complete equipment for those "experts" who know how to fly airplanes, and try his best to "cut corners" on the planes of the rookies, striving to minimize the loss of crashing the planes.
If that doesn't work, you can also attach a parachute to the battery and motor.
When I was done, I begged the Army to come over and pick it up.
"Whether you know it or not, I will teach you from the beginning. This thing is not a jet plane. It is not difficult to fly. The only difficulty is to fly the plane back."
“But it’s not a big problem!”
"If you are really stupid, just imagine yourself as a missile! I believe if you die a few times, even if the dog is tied to the joystick, it will learn how to open it!"
The faces of the newbies were all flashing with excitement.
Think of yourself as a missile?
This is so exciting!
Suisheng, who was standing aside, reminded in a low voice.
"The maximum size of the new corps can only be 10 people."
Counting the Soul Chasers, God Killers, and Fighters, their newly established Goblin Corps already has five. Due to the upper limit of its size, they can recruit up to five more.
However, the mosquito just rolled his eyes after hearing this sentence.
"Don't be so rigid. There are only 10 people in the establishment. The others just can't use the equipment of the corps system, and it doesn't say that we can't recruit reserves? Isn't one month enough for our corps to upgrade to LV10? The level is enough, just slowly bring in people!
"
Damn it?
Can it still be like this?
Su Ming was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
This version is easy to understand.
Mosquito looked calm.
LV10 may be a bit exaggerated.
But he felt that even though he was considered a half-T0 player, there should be no problem at LV7 and LV8! Originally, the corps level was not as difficult to level up as the individual level. It was easy to get up to the level by teaming up to increase contribution tasks.
Mosquito is full of confidence in his own strength and financial resources.
And just yesterday, he received an advance payment for a production order of thirty aircraft!
The new alliance military asked him to improve the WX-2 aircraft, increase its flight altitude and range, and ensure that it can provide effective support for more than ten minutes on battlefields 100 kilometers away.
ten minutes?
You simply underestimated him!
The solid-state hydrogen battery in this game is almost like a plug-in.
The oxidizer of traditional batteries is installed in the battery. The oxidant of this thing directly absorbs the oxygen in the air, which is equivalent to replacing the entire "battery positive electrode" with a membrane. The saved space can be used to store the reducing agent. As a reduction
The energy density of hydrogen is nearly 2.7 times that of gasoline and diesel!
A piece of knowledge that is not too cold. In reality, the energy density of batteries, not to mention exceeding that of gasoline, can be directly surpassed by the latter by an order of magnitude.
But in "Wasteland OL" it's a different story. The energy storage efficiency of the batteries produced by the NPC factory is better than that of fuel!
Therefore, Goblin Technology's aircraft has completely embarked on a path that has never been imagined in reality.
"The order of thirty aircraft is still too conservative! Let's place an order for a hundred motors and a thousand battery packs first!"
Everyone standing aside was shocked.
"What the hell!?"
"Is the advance payment that much?!"
Mosquito chuckled.
"Who stipulated that advance payment must be used? Can't I pay for it myself?"
childish!
When the aircraft is built, won’t there be orders?
Suiming gave a thumbs up in admiration.
"Awesome!"
This guy is too rich!
Basking in the adoring gazes of his younger brothers, Mosquito said proudly: "The bomb load of the glider is too small. It's a hundred kilometers from here to the southernmost tip of Xizhou City!"
"A small plane alone is not enough. If we want to build one, we will build a big one!"
