The rising sun the next morning still had the slightest warmth of autumn.
After walking out of the shelter, Mr. Garbage looked outside cautiously. After realizing that it was not as cold as expected, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and scurried outside happily wagging his tail.
It's too cold at night.
Its launch time had to be changed back.
Except for Chu Guang and Jun Jun, no one seemed to be in a hurry, but instead had some expectations for the coming winter.
Especially players in the south don’t have many opportunities to see heavy snow.
Now in this wasteland, snow foam is floating in the sky before September is over. I think if I wait another ten days and a half, I should be able to enjoy the next scene.
Pass through the outpost wall.
Chu Guang inspected his territory while silently calculating in his mind which piece of land would be better to enclose next.
To the north or south?
This question deserves careful consideration.
At this time, when he walked to the door, he found that two young players were busy in front of the north gate, building a door-shaped shelf out of wood.
Look at this shape...
A bit like the gallows at the gate of Brown's Farm?
"...What are you doing?"
Seeing the manager, the two players immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over with excitement.
Ya'er, I need to go to the toilet: "Dear manager, we are making a gallows!"
Chu Guang: "...Gallows? What are you doing with that thing?"
Ward's athlete's foot and Levine: "This is more wasteland! It's also more punk!"
Ya'er, I need to go to the toilet: "Yes, and it's very practical! If anyone violates the laws of the shelter, we will hang him up! Hehe."
Chu Guang: "..."
Can.
But it's not necessary.
Except for these two sand sculptures, the other players in the shelter look quite normal. They are either busy doing tasks or busy cutting down trees and moving bricks.
The outpost is in the early stages of development and lacks everything except jobs. There is no need to worry about players finding things to do.
It doesn't matter if there are one or two fishermen occasionally, just let them be.
The art of management does not lie in micro-management, but in the control of the general direction, as long as the players as a whole are still diligent.
Unless someone has not been online for a long time, he will probably take care of it. If it is confirmed that it is AFK, he will give the sealing and testing qualification to others.
As for how the system would recover the helmets and distribute them, and whether it would cause any disturbance, that was not his concern.
If it can be done, there will naturally be a reason why it can be done, and you will naturally know it when you have enough clues.
Groundless "infinite skepticism" has no meaning. Although scientific thinking emphasizes that "doubts include doubts about oneself," it also emphasizes that everything must be based on evidence, and conjectures should not be regarded as truth.
So why do you care about so many "parallel worlds"?
There is no going back.
Arriving in front of the carpenter's cabin, Chu Guang counted the equipment on the shelves.
So far, Brother Mosquito has made 15 wooden bows and hundreds of arrows, and he is becoming more and more proficient in making and processing them.
Not only that, Chu Guang discovered that this guy was truly a talent. Not only did he have novel ideas, he was also able to draw inferences about other cases at work.
For example, for this arrow alone, he designed two different arrows.
One is to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. After the arrow is heated, it is inserted into a wooden bar with a fixed slot. After natural cooling, the arrowhead will be closely connected with the arrow shaft. This kind of arrow can be used many times.
Until the arrow is completely scrapped.
The other is to simply mix rosin and animal fat and stick the rust flakes directly on the arrow shaft.
Although this kind of arrow is disposable and has little penetration, as long as it can be shot effectively, it can basically leave the rusty arrow inside the opponent's body, causing continuous damage.
Even if you don't lose mobility on the spot, you will most likely die from tetanus or other infections in a few days.
"Master Manager? I was planning to find you."
Seeing Chu Guang appearing at the door, WC's eyes lit up, he put down the tools in his hands and stood up from the chair.
Chu Guang looked at him and said.
"I'm just here for a casual look. Do you have anything to report to me?"
"I have already made the gunpowder you asked me to make!"
As he spoke, Mosquito pulled out a jar of black powder in a glass bottle from the shelf and excitedly handed it to Chu Guang, who couldn't help but take a half step back and almost kicked this guy offline without his authority.
"It's okay, there is no open flame here, it's very safe! Hehe."
Mosquito chuckled and continued.
"I made it using a recipe I found online, using 74.6% potassium nitrate. According to this ratio, gunpowder can burn most fully!"
As before, Chu Guang ignored the extra-game content mentioned by the players in the conversation, took the glass bottle, looked at it carefully, and nodded.
"Well done...have you tried it?"
"I can give you an experiment now! Please come with me!"
With that said, Mosquito took the manager outside the carpentry hut and took out a small glass bottle with a capacity of about 150ml from his pocket.
It was filled with gunpowder, a cotton thread was inserted into the mouth of the bottle, and it was sealed with animal fat.
I saw him trotting out for a short distance, placing the glass bottle next to a tree, lighting the cotton thread with a match, and then ran away.
As the cotton thread burned out, there was only a loud thunder-like sound, and the glass bottle exploded violently, breaking open the skin and flesh on the surface of the tree trunk, causing it to fall precariously.
Many players who were cutting down trees nearby were startled by the sound and ran over to watch the fun.
"What the hell?! Brother, it's okay!"
"Did you create T and T?"
"What the hell, you know the smoke. It's obviously black powder. But it's also very strong! Everyone knows the recipe, but the raw materials are too difficult to get."
“The boss is awesome!!”
Apparently I heard the compliments from other players.
Mosquito looked at the manager beside him excitedly, his face glowing with excitement.
"how?"
Chu Guang's face was also full of surprise.
this……
Is this player too punished?
What does a carpenter want to do if he knows so much?
"...Very good, your performance exceeded my expectations. Although the smoke generated is a bit bigger and the power of the explosion needs to be improved, these are not problems. I will report your credit to the organization and you will receive
500 contribution points reward.”
"In addition, you can try to get smokeless fire chemicals, such as nitrate, chemical cotton, etc. If you can succeed, the shelter will reward you with 1,000 contribution points, and I will also have new work to hand over.
for you."
new job?
The expression on Mosquito's face was momentarily excited.
Does this mean hidden mission?
In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are no hidden tasks, the reward of 1,000 contribution points is already tempting enough.
Since the alpha0.3 version, the income from contribution points has been reduced. If you complete the daily tasks every day, you will only have a contribution of 160. The contribution from part-time work is also around this number. 1,000 contribution points is already very strong.
Although I am a citizen now, who would mind contributing more? It will only become more and more difficult to obtain this thing in the future.
He remembered that the planner had made a drawing on the official website, and that in the future the status level above that of citizens would be opened, so that more land could be purchased.
Mosquito said happily.
"No problem, dear manager! I'll try it after I get the nitric acid and sulfuric acid out!"
Chu Guang nodded and told him to go back to work first, and then patrolled to the side of the blast furnace.
In order to facilitate transportation, earth kilns for stewing charcoal and cement kilns for burning cement were built nearby, forming a row, almost forming a conventional industrial area.
The fire was running continuously, and the temperature nearby was two degrees higher than other places.
Since "Ward's Athlete's Foot Who Levine" and "Yar I Need to Go to the Bathroom" have improved the process of indigenous steelmaking, the carbon chamber and the iron-melting chamber are separated, and the iron oxide is reduced through incomplete combustion of carbon monoxide.
It is not a direct reduction with charcoal.
In this way, the carbon content of the steel waste used as raw material will not increase too much during the smelting process, and there is no need to repeatedly forge, quench, and remove carbon before it can be made into steel.
Although it is impossible to restore the material to what it was two hundred years ago, the strength of the material in all aspects is definitely much stronger than that of smelting raw ore.
After all, the rare metals originally mixed in the steel will not disappear out of thin air, and some of them will still remain.
Experience is always gained little by little.
Seeing the passionate players, Chu Guang's heart was filled with emotion.
A few days ago, the outpost's tools had to be imported from the nearby Brown Farm, and they needed to be exchanged for animal pelts.
Nowadays, players have not only learned to use the collected metal scraps to smelt them, but they can even produce the tools they need by themselves.
The woodworking shed solves an immediate need.
This is the place where miracles can really happen.
"The production efficiency of these earthen kilns is still a little behind. Expanding the facilities requires more building materials and tools. To achieve this, some players must directly or indirectly control the production materials, so that players can take advantage of their initiative.
and creativity, allowing them to have free rein to improve production.”
"Let me think about it... Later versions can classify this area as an industrial zone, clearly stipulate the land use, and allow players who have reached the citizenship level to rent land here, open workshops, and engage in light industrial processing, thereby directly controlling part of it.
means of production.”
"As for steelmaking and cement, which are heavy industries with huge output, large initial investment and unstable returns, we can set up a 'public' steel plant and cement plant, and appoint life professionals with outstanding abilities in the form of 'hidden tasks'
Serving as the factory director and coordinating the planning of production can be regarded as indirectly controlling the production materials."
"In terms of balance... it can be solved through settings such as taxation and land rent."
"Anyway, the players came up with it themselves."
Chu Guang touched his chin and thought in his heart.
As a qualified planner, the first priority is to understand what the current version requires.
For example, if no one can rank as an ADC, then strengthen the ADC. If they all run to be shooters, then chop a knife on the shooter's head, or strengthen the jungler.
The biggest difference between games and reality is that in reality, reforms and policy adjustments have costs.
But when it comes to adjusting the balance of the game, the most everyone can say is that it's a stupid plan. As long as it's not unplayable, you can do whatever you have to do in the end.
"Master Manager!"
Hearing someone calling him, Chu Guang stopped and looked back, only to see a player carrying a bow and arrow running towards him panting.
"whats the matter?"
"On the north side of the outpost, near the viaduct, two people came, leading a cow with two heads! The one in the head looked familiar, very similar to the people who had been here before!"
The player put his hands on his knees and reported the situation intermittently.
A cow with two heads?
Could it be that merchant from Honghe Town?
So fast?
Chu Guang was slightly surprised, but his face remained calm as he gave instructions to the player.
