Above the clouds, a unique-looking airplane took off from the airport on the edge of Ideal City and flew towards the direction of the River Valley Province.
It has two pairs of wings and a total of four engines, two in front and two in the rear, symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the fuselage, spraying blue plasma plumes toward the rear.
This transport aircraft can be regarded as a civilian improvement of the "Orca" transport aircraft. It has lengthened the fuselage, increased the cargo hold capacity, and added a pair of plasma engines.
Because it is for civilian use, the offensive name "killer whale" has also become the relatively milder "blue whale".
From the appearance, this aircraft looks like an advanced version of a four-engine tilt-rotor aircraft, with a plasma engine that has a lighter structure, more stable power, and is less affected by airflow instead of the traditional propeller.
Like the killer whale transport aircraft, it can switch between horizontal flight mode and vertical flight mode, and can even perform "lateral translation" maneuvers that the killer whale transport aircraft cannot do.
Just like a quadcopter drone.
It's just that most passengers on the plane will curse after experiencing it.
The aircraft was designed by a subsidiary of the Silver Wing Group, and more than a hundred companies participated in the production. Only one has been completed so far, and it has been put into use on flights from the Cloud Province to the Valley Province.
The deeds of the Pioneer have influenced the current mainstream trend of thought in Ideal City to a certain extent, and the "influence expansion" proposal proposed by Wu Changnian at the council meeting was successfully passed.
In the future, the company will not only operate the Yunjian Province, but will also project its vision beyond the Yunjian Province and explore the future path together with the survivor settlements in various places.
They will not go back to the era of the post-war Reconstruction Committee and unconditionally support the survivor settlements like the predecessors of the "Production Ministry", but they will not treat those settlements as non-existent air like they did in the past before this moment.
The birth of the Alliance has proven that wastelanders are not all hopeless trouble.
This flight to the valley province is one of the products of Wu Changnian's proposal.
His speech at the press conference that day inspired many people, and it was precisely because of this that the tickets for this first flight were sold out almost as soon as they hung out.
If Li Shuyue hadn't helped buy reserved tickets for business travel through Ruyue Group, the four members of the "Niu Ma Team" might have stayed in Ideal City for a while longer...
"Damn! Bad luck today!"
Looking at Fang Chang showing the cards on the table, Ye Shiyi leaned on his chair with a gloomy look.
There are a total of 240 seats in the cabin. In addition to the front and rear cabins, the passenger activity area also has an entertainment room with a bar where the android waiter can provide drinks.
Before the plane lands, passengers can get out of their seats and move around as they please, but in the event of an emergency, they need to follow the captain's instructions and return to their seats, or sit in the nearest safety seat.
In order to kill the boring commuting time, the four of them sat at the table in the entertainment room and played blackjack at Fang Chang's suggestion.
Looking at Ye Shi with a sad look on his face, Fang Changdan smiled.
"you
My cards are all written on my face, it’s not easy to win against you.”
"But one"
"You want to say that your expression is actually fake, right?"
Seeing through what he wanted to say, Fang Chang continued with a smile, "But have you ever considered that deliberate disguise itself has revealed your intentions."
"Hey, let's not play anymore... This is too much!" Ye Shi sighed and pushed the chair away, "Let's just play Landlords."
He originally thought that his perception attribute would help him kill everyone at the poker table, but in the end he just bullied Lao Bai, who didn't understand the rules of blackjack, and he never won against Fang Chang.
Looking at Ye Shi who gave up, Fang Chang said with a smile.
"If you are not good at disguising your emotions, you can learn from Guangfeng...
···That kind of facial paralysis is more difficult to deal with, especially since he is very strong in mathematics.”
Guangfeng coughed lightly.
"It's not like facial paralysis...it's just that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, and there are rules to follow to get bad cards and good cards, so I'm not surprised."
Ye Shi suddenly raised his head.
"Speaking of which, I've always been quite curious." Lao Bai, who lost all his points early, said with a smile.
"What are you curious about?"
Ye Shi glanced at Guang Feng.
"Why do you think a physics expert like Brother Guangfeng can also play games?"
Fang Chang said with a smile.
"What's so strange about this? Who doesn't have a hobby anymore?" Kuangfeng coughed lightly.
".····I'm not really a big boss, I'm just more interested in the things that interest me."
Ye Shi couldn't help but complain after hearing this.
"Listening to your words is better than just one word."
Fang Chang looked at Guangfeng with interest.
"Speaking of which, what is the topic of your research?"
He has also learned some knowledge about artificial intelligence recently, although he only read the introductory part.
He didn't quite understand what the physics professors at the university were researching, but if Brother Fengfeng's research field happened to be related to algorithms, he could just talk about his findings in the game.
Bangfeng thought for a while and suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, didn't we agree not to talk about reality in the game?" After hearing this, Ye Shi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Damn! We've known each other for years and yet we're still doing this! I'll meet you in Jinling another day."
Kuangfeng said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll take you around when you come." Fang Chang glanced sideways at Ye Shi.
"...Don't listen to this kid's talk. He had been clamoring to come to Shanghai to hang out with me the year before last. He has gone from a high school student to a college student and hasn't seen anyone else."
After waiting for so long, Ye Shi felt a little embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and explained.
"Hehe... I just want to wait for a chance to get together. When the time comes, I'll take Lao Bai and Bangfeng with me. It will be more fun if there are more people. What's the point of going alone."
Fang Chang rolled his eyes.
"Come on, let's see it in the game." Speaking of which...
In fact, there is another person.
I also said at the beginning that I would go to Shanghai to hang out with him.
Fang Chang couldn't help but think of a certain guy who was trying to steal chickens and vegetables.
He had no idea why the sales guy went off to make games.
I’ve never seen him express such thoughts before...
While the four of them were chatting, at a long table not far from the bar in the entertainment room, a well-dressed man was talking in a greasy voice in front of a group of young people who looked like tourists.
"...You mean Qingquan City? What a coincidence. I grew up in Qingquan City since I was a child, and no one is more familiar with it than me."
"Really?" A young man in his early twenties looked at the man in surprise and continued speaking quickly, "Are you a resident of the alliance?"
"Alliance? Ah... you mean that?" The man was stunned for a moment and said impatiently, "There was no alliance when I left home to travel. There was only one true survivor in the entire Qingquan City, Boulder City.
A settlement, other small villages don’t deserve to be called a settlement at all.”
His name is Ji Xiu, and he is the second son of the president of the Bank of Boulder City. In his early years, his father entrusted him to a familiar local businessman and sent him to Ideal City to see the world. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost five years.
When he was in Boulder City, he was a well-known dandy in the city. Even the nobles in the inner city would give him a little favor because his father could help make money and his mother's family status was not small.
Not to mention the residents of the outer city, no matter what bad things he does, no one will bother him, and he has often done things like bullying men and dominating women.
However, when he arrived in Ideal City, it was a completely different story. No one took his father's identity as the president of the Bank of Boulder City seriously, and the chips in his pocket could not even be directly exchanged for Cr.
Fortunately, his father sends him some money from time to time, otherwise he would be a nobleman and might have to work in a fast food restaurant.
Ideal City is indeed prosperous, and there are countless times more people than Boulder City, but living in a room of dozens of square meters and only being able to compete with a group of sand warriors on the endpoint cloud all day long is not the life he wants.
Those retarded people.
If anyone dared to be disrespectful to him in Boulder City, he would definitely find them and shoot them to death.
If it weren't for the long journey, his father not giving him a chance, and his inability to save travel expenses, he would have wanted to go home!
Of course, the reason why he misses home is not entirely because he misses the freedom there, but more because he wants to do something to prove that he is not what those idiots on the end point cloud say - he is a good father besides having a good father.
A useless piece of trash.
Especially recently, the recent resolution issued by the Enterprise Council gave him hope. Ideal City even opened flights to the River Valley Province!
He plans to use this trend to revitalize his hometown!
Feeling that the atmosphere was almost in place, Jixiu cleared his throat forcefully and continued in an encouraging tone.
"...Friends, we are ushering in an era full of opportunities! You listened to Vice Minister Wu's speech in the new
Did you speak at the press conference? From now on, the company will be more radical and proactive in expanding its business scope. As the first stop for the company’s overseas business, Qingquan City in Hehe Province has a population of more than half a million.
Boulder City is undoubtedly the market with the most potential!” However, one
To his surprise, the young people had no reaction after hearing what he said.
At least there wasn't the excitement and longing he expected. "Wu... you mean that old man?"
"Isn't it good that I am not old?"
"Uh... yes, but I didn't pay attention to what he said." "By the way, where is Boulder City?"
"Aren't we going to Dawn City?" "I probably bought the right ticket."
A group of people were talking and laughing among themselves, not taking his words to heart at all. It was obvious that they were just here for tourism and were not very interested in business matters.
Ji Xiu's brows twitched, but he still didn't give up and tried to make a final effort.
"Yes, we will get off the plane at Dawn City, but when it comes to River Valley Province, we have to mention Boulder City. It may be the only civilized pure land in the southern part of River Valley Province. After arriving at Dawn City, we can hire a team of mercenaries
Escort us to a—"
A slightly taller young man coughed, interrupting his growing voice.
"The Enterprise Exit Office has reminded us that we must be cautious when leaving Yunjian Province. The commando team cannot receive our distress signal. If it is not necessary, it is best not to leave the area actually controlled by the alliance."
A young girl wearing glasses nodded and said with a worried look on her face.
"Indeed, I heard... Riverdale Province is the birthplace of the Death Claws. Those guys with horns on their heads can even tear apart power armor with one claw."
"That's probably an exaggeration...but are we going to encounter wild Deathclaws?"
"I don't know, but you can visit the Deathclaw in Vault 79! I heard that the first one in the legend was born there!"
"The Death Claw is actually artificially created!?" "Did you just know that?"
"You guys go, I plan to stay in Dawn City for a few days...I heard there will be a celebration in three days."
"Can I meet the legendary manager?"
"Haha, don't be a nymphomaniac, I don't have time to see you as a tourist.
The men and women were chatting and laughing, and the topic unconsciously turned to the alliance again.
Looking at these incompetent guys, Ji Xiu clenched his fists and black lines appeared on his forehead.
···These guys!
Why don't you listen to him at all?
Taking a deep breath, Ji Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart and told himself to stay calm and not act out of anger.
Most of the people who can buy tickets for the first flight are wealthy people.
Either you have money yourself, or your family has money, or you simply go on a business trip.
If he could get Cr from these guys and invest in local industries in Boulder City, his plan would be much smoother.
He has already thought about it.
The problem in Boulder City is the stagnant development caused by the solidification of classes. The lazy survivors found that no matter how hard they worked, they could not become nobles. If they did some business as merchants, they would have their hats skinned by looters, so they became frustrated.
Even poorer.
The solution to the problem is simple.
As long as we build another outer city outside the outer city and turn the original "outer city" into a "middle city", wouldn't the problem be solved?
Not only that, he also planned to learn from Ideal City’s advanced financial experience.
However, this card must be used as the final trump card and cannot be played from the beginning.
I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance if he advances in the inner city, and he will get spanked by his father if he advances in the outer city, but if he goes outside the giant wall, then there will be no problem.
A digital currency based on credit issuance!
Those idiots who have never seen the world will definitely be shocked by his genius idea!
However, what troubled Jixiu was that these rich kids from the ideal city were not interested in what he said at all, and the businessmen who were napping wearing neural connection devices were too lazy to pay attention to him.
Looking around the lounge, he quickly noticed the four guys sitting in the corner playing cards. His eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over there.
At the same time, Ye Shi, who had just drawn a good deck of cards, was thinking about how to manage the expression on his face, and at this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.
"...Hello everyone, I'm glad to be on the same flight with you. My name is Ji Xiu, the second son of the president of Boulder City Bank." In order to make his conversation not seem blunt, he cast his eyes on the table on the table.
Paper, curiously asked, "What are you playing? Can you take me one?"
"Poker...just wait for the next round."
Not bothering to pay attention to this passerby NPC who came from nowhere, Ye Shi stared straight at Fang Chang who was about to look at the card, intending to read the flaw on his face, and then use the good card in his hand to ruthlessly
Find your place.
However, to his disappointment, Fang Chang did not look at the cards, but instead turned his attention to the man who was talking to them.
The second son of the president of Boulder City Bank? That is... Alyssa's brother?
Fang Chang's expression was slightly surprised.
This is too coincidental...
But having said that, since he hadn't been to Boulder City for so long, he almost forgot about the NPC who had entrusted him to find the cat.
"My name is Fang Chang... They are my friends." Out of politeness, Fang Chang introduced himself, and then introduced Ye Shi and other friends one by one.
Ji Xiu stared at Fang Chang for a while, chewing on the name over and over again. He felt like he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But that's not important!
The people who can take this flight are all capable people. Maybe I have seen it in some advertisement.
With a bright and sunny smile on his face, Ji Xiu stared at the young man in front of him with bright eyes.
"I knew you were no ordinary person the first time I saw you." Fang Chang said with a smile.
"So you are going to say to me again what you just said to those people."
Because Ye Shi was so good at playing cards, he could even listen to those NPCs talking while playing cards with this kid. He didn't expect that this liar who had sneaked into the flight would target him, and he didn't expect that he actually had a bank in Boulder City.
The identity of the eldest son.
If he hadn't lied, then his identity would be incredible.
"...Since you've heard it, I won't repeat it again," Ji Xiu lowered his excited voice, "How about it? Are you interested in revitalizing Boulder City with me? The market there is not just 500,000 people.
Its influence is enough to cover the entire southern part of the River Valley Province, and even most of the Jinchuan Province!"
Hearing these words, Fang Chang's face showed an uncontrollable smile.
Just as he was about to tactfully tease this guy about why he saw it, something suddenly moved in his heart and he made an interested expression on his face.
"Is that so... Then tell me, how do you plan to revitalize that Boulder City?"
Seeing Fang Chang's expression of interest, Ji Xiu's face showed uncontrollable joy.
"It's very simple! No, it's not actually simple, it's just that no one has discovered 66
"Shh." Fang Chang made a silencing gesture to interrupt him, then took out a business card and handed it to him.
"Don't talk about such important things on the plane... When you get off the plane, come to me at this address."
Ji Xiu was stunned for a moment after taking the business card. He didn't look at the address and stared straight at Fang Chang.
"Have you... been to Qingquan City?"
"What are you talking about? I've not only been here before, it's like my second home." Looking at the confused young man, Fang Chang said with a smile, "Have you heard of Changyue Group? No.
As you said, are you willing to fight chicken?"
"That's your company?!" Ji Xiu was shocked for a moment, but quickly recovered, "Wait a minute, but I heard that it's a subsidiary of the Ruyue Group."
Of course he knows this company!
He specifically mentioned this matter in his last letter to his father! Fang Chang coughed.
"There is a big problem with your understanding of equity... But aside from that, aren't you curious about where the president of Changyue Group came from?"
Changyue Group is a joint venture between Niuma Group and Ruyue Group. It is only under the name of Ruyue Group due to qualification issues.
As for why his name was used, Fang Chang was also puzzled, but it didn't matter to him since the brothers had no objection.
After all, using cows and horses doesn't sound very good.
Ji Xiu stared at him in disbelief.
"Could it be..."
Looking at Ji Xiu who had clearly misunderstood something, Fang Chang smiled mysteriously and without any explanation, just pointed to the business card in his hand.
"Some things are not convenient to talk about in crowded places... we got off the plane and talked about it"
Ji Xiu quickly stopped talking and nodded excitedly. "Yes! That makes sense!"
Completely forgetting what happened at the card table, Fang Chang quickly chatted with the NPC about other things. The more he talked, the more he became more immersed in it, and the more he talked, the more he forgot himself.
When Ji Xiu heard that the man in front of him had the same experience of studying at Yunjian University as he did, he immediately grabbed his hands with excitement, as if he was sorry to meet him so late.
Ye Shi glanced at Lao Bai sitting next to him.
"...I finally know what Fang Chang said." Lao Bai was stunned for a moment.
"Which sentence?"
"It's the saying "Write the cards on your face."" Glancing at the two cards covered on the table, Ye Shi sighed and collected the cards on the table together, "These guys are so thoughtful."
It’s too dirty, I really won’t play anymore this time... Let’s just play Landlords among the three of us.”
Kuang Feng nodded in agreement. "I agree."
The flight from the east coast to Dawn City is still floating in the sky, and the Heart of Steel, returning from the desert, has returned to the capital of the Alliance with the glory and banner of victory.
Chu Guang rested one night on the airship, and at dawn the next day, he and his little players returned to the surface in a pod.
Three days later, Dawn City will hold a grand celebration to celebrate the triumph of the expeditionary force.
Although the celebration has not officially started yet, the streets have been filled with a festive atmosphere these two days.
In order not to affect the normal life and work of the residents, and not to overdraw the joy of the celebration in advance, Chu Guang did not make a big fuss when he came down from the sky, and even specifically told Luka and others not to come to pick him up.
The Iron Heart, flying the Alliance flag, also parked quietly at the edge of the Elm District and did not continue to advance in the direction of the settlement.
"Hahahaha, I'm finally home!" With his feet finally on the ground, the mosquito roared upwards and walked happily towards the industrial zone.
The war is over!
The era of true goblin technology has finally arrived!
Compared to equipment that is faster, cheaper, and easier to operate, he really still prefers to make some more interesting inventions.
Several newbies stood on the edge of the wheat field, looking at the prosperous settlement in the distance, with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Is this Dawn City..." "Shocked!"
“Too awesome...”
The houses are scattered one after another, without any feeling of wasteland at all. The walls made of red bricks are painted with white paint. There are many construction sites on the periphery of the city.
The closest to them at the moment is the train station in Dawn City.
The open space in front of the station has been turned into a cargo distribution center. There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the shouts can be heard from a distance. Huge wooden boxes are almost filled with the entire freight platform, and carriages are waiting to be dispatched.
There was a long queue in front of the platform...
This in itself is nothing surprising.
In reality, any city is more prosperous than this one.
But what is shocking is that just a year ago, this place was an overgrown wilderness with no houses at all, let alone farmland as far as the eye could see.
Every brick and tile, every plant and tree here was built by the players who have entered the game since version lp0.1, together with the NPCs.
The shock that hit me was much stronger than what I had seen in the photos...
After taking a look at those ignorant guys, I finally
He said with a joke.
"Why do you look like you've just arrived?" The outlaw scratched the back of his head.
"Well, this is indeed the first time I came back here...my resurrection point was in Vault 79, and I was sent to the front line as soon as I was born."
He still remembered what he heard clearly. Not long after he arrived at the front line, he was deceived by those old players into serving as cannon fodder on the legion's position.
Later, he accidentally learned from the forum that the pangolin turned out to be one of his own.
The man next to me felt sleepy after waking up, and nodded in shock. "It's also my first time to go home."
My darkest eyes lit up, I hooked their shoulders and said with a playful smile.
"Dude, you are the Bet0.4 version, right? Hahaha! Let's go, I will show you a lot."
The outlaw gangsters immediately became alert after hearing this.
"What are you trying to do...I wouldn't dare do anything illegal." When I woke up, I was still looking at this guy with the same vigilance.
"+1! I was already queuing up before the alliance! Don't let me mess around!"
I furrowed my lips.
"Tch, who didn't line up to come in... Don't worry, I just want to treat you to a bowl of ramen. What are you thinking about so early in the morning?"
Harm. It turned out to be noodles.
The two of them suddenly showed bored expressions. They were looking forward to it in vain!
Looking at the noisy little players, who were holding hands and arms around each other, Chu Guang's face showed a smile like an old father's.
Although many players in Bet0.4 version have fought for the alliance for many days and died countless times, they actually don't know what the alliance is and just regard it as the setting of the game.
I believe they will have a deeper understanding at this moment - it is a home made up of a group of people, and people fight for it not just for money and experience.
Of course, even if his little players have a new understanding of the alliance's cause, he still hopes that they can play the game in a happy way without having to carry "revival of civilization", "uniting the surviving people", etc.
A series of burdens that are too heavy.
That's his job.
In addition to being the manager of the alliance, he is also the game planner of "Wasteland OL".
In contrast, he still prefers his players to play the game in a relaxed mood.
After all, as he said, this is a casual game for fun. Looking away from the players, Chu Guang smiled and said.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go."
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on Chu Guang's shoulders and holding her chin in her hands, had been studying the expression on his face.
Seeing the subtle hint of loneliness, Xiao Qi thought that Chu Guang was feeling lonely because no one came to pick her up, so she encouraged him with an energetic tone.
"It's okay, Master, Xiaoqi will always be with you!"
Chu Guang was stunned when he heard this, then laughed out loud, stretched out his index finger and touched its little head lightly.
"Well, thanks for having you with me." "Hehe."
"It's okay, Master, Xiaoqi
Will always be with you!"
Chu Guang was stunned when he heard this, then laughed out loud, stretched out his index finger and touched its little head lightly.
"Well, thanks for having you with me."/"Hehe."
Xiaoqi had a satisfied smile on her face and shook her legs happily.
Just when Chu Guang was wondering whether to go to North Street for breakfast first or go directly back to the shelter for a physical examination, a familiar figure was walking towards him from not far away.
