To be honest, although there is no concept of guarantee for the expansion pack lottery of "Wasteland OL", the randomness is indeed truly random. There is no saying that "whoever is more suitable for a certain piece of equipment will be easier to draw."
.
However, precisely because it is truly random, even if the "overall explosion rate" is consistent with the normal function distribution, it is inevitable that a few non-chiefs with extremely dark faces and European emperors who are extremely inhumane will appear.
Once this happens, the managers can only take the initiative to provide benefits to the non-chiefs. As for the European Emperor, forget it.
If you draw it, you can draw it. You can't take it back to others, right?
Although he occasionally felt a little guilty, Chu Guang asked himself that he was still more principled in doing things.
The first is not to go back on promises, the second is not to settle accounts later, and the third is to use the power of rules when they can.
But to be honest, this Quan Shui guy is really outrageous sometimes. Even he, the real mastermind behind the fake plan who knows the "inside story of the game", can't help but wonder if this guy is playing tricks.
The same goes for my darkest brother. His face is as dark as if he had done something wrong in his previous life... In the study room on the B4 floor of the shelter, Chu Guang was leaning on the sofa, drinking black tea with milk and brushing his hair.
forum.
At this moment, my blackest brother, who was so negative just a second ago, is holding a screenshot of "Golden Legend" and bursting into tears of joy - or showing off.
However, my darkest brother didn't know that he drew the Golden Legend not because of some "turn of fortune" or because he washed his hands before holding the mouse, but because the great benevolent A Guang manually sent him compensation.
"Xiao Qi, tell me the truth, is this guy really able to draw twenty ramen coupons in a row based on his ability?" Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the pen holder, had a helpless expression on his face.
"Master, don't you believe Xiao Qi?" Chu Guang took a sip of black tea and shook his head.
"That's not true. It's just that this guy's face is so dark that it makes people feel distressed. His ability has lowered our credibility."
There are always people saying on forums that there is a shady secret in the expansion pack lottery, but in fact there is no such thing at all. At most, if you are too unnatural or too crazy, you may not be able to get a "visa" to enter another world - that is, a helmet.
And to be fair, he and Quan Shui were not familiar with each other outside of the game. If he were to engage in shady activities, that guy wouldn't be able to get involved.
However, objectively speaking, there are only a few cases where people have bad faces, and the vast majority of players still draw a lot of good things based on their ability.
Due to the recent surge in the soft and hard strength of the alliance, the reward pool for players has also become increasingly rich.
In addition to the high-tech equipment produced by the shelter's own drawings and processing centers, it also includes equipment commissioned by some enterprises and their subsidiaries for testing, as well as experimental equipment jointly designed by the alliance's scientific expedition team and relevant units.
For example, plasma cutters, magnetic slingshots, neural acceleration modules, and portable rocket launchers, etc.
The overall significance of these equipment is greater than the actual combat significance, and it is difficult to play a role in the frontal battlefield, but it still has certain practical value in wasteland adventures.
For example, if you add a rocket launcher and reinforced tendon prosthesis to some "resource points" that are inaccessible by normal means, you might be able to fly—or jump to them.
Another example is a plasma knife that requires continuous irradiation to cut through the target. It may not be stronger than the Deathclaw's claws, but it may be able to scare the Deathclaw when it is revealed.
In addition, some well-received and combat-tested equipment will also be mass-produced as planned and installed in the in-game mall for players to purchase.
But generally speaking, only players can use that kind of thing. If it were other wastelanders, they would have to be strong enough.
Chu Guang walked around the forum and looked at the talents who were doing their jobs with the reward props. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, grinning from ear to ear in amusement.
At this time, Xiao Qi, who was sitting in the pen holder, suddenly raised her head and said in a sweet voice.
"Master, the director of the Institute's Investigation Department would like to talk to you... about the scientific research ship they lost in Avent City and the "pseudo brood" of the "Tower of the World"."
The Pseudo Brood is the name of the Alliance Biological Research Institute.
According to Xiaoyu, that thing actually has little to do with the mutant slime mold nest.
Judging from the various performances of the academy, they obviously have some information that the alliance does not understand. But this group of people has always been like this, extremely sensitive to technology, even if it is a "direction" other than the technology itself. Chu Guang raised his head slightly He raised his eyebrows and a look of interest appeared in his eyes.
It seems that this research ship means more to the academy than I imagined.
As A-level researchers, the directors of the four major departments are already considered members of the core circle within the academy.
Further up are Mu Bei, the only S-class chief technology officer, and Dr. Conclusion, who stands behind the chief technology officer. "When?"
Xiaoqi: "He has arrived near Shuguang City. I would like to ask when will you be free?" Already here?
Putting the teacup in his hand back on the tray on the table, Chu Guang motioned to X-16 who was waiting to take it away for him, and stood up from the sofa.
"Ask him to wait for me in Conference Hall 1 of the Alliance Building."
······
Alliance Building, Conference Hall 1.
A middle-aged man about 40 years old was sitting at the conference table.
His appearance looks ordinary, the kind that you would not find in a crowd. And the silver-white researcher uniform is also a common style in the academy.
A staff member standing nearby came forward and poured him a cup of coffee.
The man said thank you softly, and then sat there motionless, waiting quietly. Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was opened.
Looking at Chu Guang coming in from the door, the man stood up from the conference table and said politely.
"Hello, dear administrator, I am Qi Liu, director of the Investigation Department of the college. I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule without prior appointment."
"Mr. Qi, you're welcome. I happen to be resting. I have nothing else to do and there is no need to disturb you. Please sit down. Chu Guang nodded with a smile, then pulled out his chair and sat on the opposite side of the conference table.
Seeing Chu Guang take his seat, Qi Liu, who was acting reserved, also sat down.
The staff on the side came over quietly and poured a cup of black tea for Chu Guang. Without wasting time on small talk, Chu Guang got straight to the point and spoke.
"I heard from my assistant that you have more information you want to add to us about the missing scientific research ship and the unauthorized investigation activities it was conducting in the city of Avente at that time...?"
Listening to those slightly barbed words, Qi Liu did not hide it, but simply admitted it. "Yes, but please believe that we did not conceal the relevant clues out of malicious intent."
After speaking, he took out a holographic computer pen from his arms and placed it on the conference table, then gently pushed it forward.
Looking at the holographic computer pen that slid to the center of the conference table, Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at the staff aside.??????.??????5?2?0?
.??????
The latter walked to the conference table with understanding, took the holographic computer pen for Chu Guang, and then exited the conference room.
Chu Guang reached out and pressed on the computer pen, and a light blue holographic beam quickly spread out on the conference table.
What appeared in the holographic beam was a document, which included the evaluation, analysis and identification conclusion of the biological weapon used by Tyr in the decisive battle.
However, perhaps due to the loss of data, the entire content in the report is qualitative analysis and lacks quantitative analysis.
After reading the document from beginning to end, Chu Guang's raised eyebrows couldn't help but show a hint of interest. "Seed of Gaia?"
"Or, Gaia-like lifeforms," Qi Liu said in a serious tone, looking at the expression on Chu Guang's face, "This is the name we call the biological weapons used by Tyr... You should have realized that.
It’s something different from the mutant slime mold mother nest.”
"Yes."
Chu Guang nodded, flicked his index finger in the air, and turned off the holographic screen in front of him.
"But in our opinion, the mutant slime mold's mother nest is obviously more threatening, and Tyr's little trick is a little less interesting...Of course, maybe you can provide us with some different insights?"
"That's why I came here," Qi Liu nodded slightly and continued with a serious expression, "Such misunderstandings arise because you lack understanding of Gaia and only distinguish their threats based on their strength and weakness.
The extent is contrary to scientific standards. Of course... we who blocked this part of the information also bear a certain degree of responsibility for this."
There was a hint of apology in his voice. Maybe it was an apology.
Chu Guang didn't speak. He just looked at the director of the investigation department of the college and gestured with his eyes to continue. The latter paused for a moment and then continued.
"That was a long time ago, longer than the Wasteland Era or even the Three Years War... When the colonists arriving at Nanmen II realized that the planet under their feet was a "living planet", the colony's researchers
An in-depth investigation was conducted on Gaia. The results of the investigation were beyond all of our expectations. What is before us is a hive civilization that we have never seen before."
"According to the research reports sent back from the colonies, it was a stagnant society. Whether they fell from a higher civilization to their current position, or slowly climbed from a lower civilization to their current height, they have in fact
Loss of ability to spiral upward or downward."
Chu Guang nodded.
"The Alliance Academy of Social Sciences has a similar report." Qi Liu said.
"I have read it, and the report was well written, even by the standards of the academy." Chu Guang said with a smile.
"Thanks for the compliment."
"There is no praise, this is a fact," Qi Liu looked at Chu Guang seriously and continued, "Although Gaia has lost the motivation to continue social evolution, its existence still brings us huge revelations.
Inspired by that report and related research, the People's Federation has experienced technological explosions of varying degrees in the fields of biology, aerospace physics, and sociology, including the mind interference technology you are using, which is a product of that period."
Chu Guang had heard about this.
The manager's diary of Vault 401 in the eastern suburbs of Qingquan City mentioned that psychic interference technology was originally developed to replace the infrasonic fence used to drive away alien creatures.
This technology unexpectedly opened the door to a new world and established a communication bridge between humans and Gaia who were originally unable to communicate.
Currently, many players in the league use this set of equipment to communicate with Xiaoyu's fruiting bodies.
Of course, this technology also caused a lot of commotion at the time. For example, it was used by an unscrupulous company to promote goods, so it was reviewed by the Scientific Ethics Committee.
Looking at Chu Guang who was lost in memories, Qi Liu continued.
"The role of force is mutual, and the same is true for the exchanges between civilizations. We have learned a lot from Gaia that we have never seen before, and Gaia has also shown us the complex social forms and individual consciousness.
It was a huge shock. After all, before we set foot on that land, He had always played with himself. Only occasionally would meteorites fall from the sky, bringing with them a few little lives that He had never seen and were not very interesting.
.”
"No matter what the reason was for the Gaia civilization to abandon its original social form and possible individual consciousness, it really does not remember the time before the critical point of mutation - that is, the Big Bang mentioned in the report of your Alliance Academy of Social Sciences.'
It’s what happened before.”
"And our birth allowed Him to see another possibility in the universe - He began to think about what his children would look like if he had "children", and what his parents would look like if he had parents.
"
Chu Guang said thoughtfully.
"He became interested in our inheritance method." Qi Liu nodded slowly.
"This was controversial in the academic circles at the time. Some people believed that helping him understand human society could promote communication between us, promote social progress, and maybe make him a loyal friend of mankind. While other people thought
They believe that awakening a prehistoric giant is a dangerous thing. Its lifespan may be longer than the history of human existence, and we may be eaten by it."
Chu Guang nodded.
"This is certainly cause for concern."
In fact, His children have eaten many people, many in Qingquan City alone.
The reason why Xiaoyu can integrate into the alliance's society is actually more of the wastelanders' compromise to the real environment. It is no longer realistic to completely eliminate the mutant slime mold. The slime mold did not explode even when the War Construction Committee exploded.
Those little guys have become part of the ecosystem just like the alien species. Instead of launching a war with no results, it is better to think about how to control them and turn waste into treasure.
Qi Liu continued.
"On the one hand, conservative scholars have improved legislation through the Scientific Ethics Committee in an attempt to curb technological out-of-control in various fields. However, the other group of radical scholars...or as you call them, left-wing scholars have extended a helping hand to him.
Through the technology that humans learned from Him, we helped Him clone His children."
Chu Guang said with a wry smile.
"This...is really a bold idea."
In comparison, the radical faction of the alliance is simply too conservative. At most, they have too much sympathy for the Borneo people, and they are worried that they will not be able to chew even if they have food in their mouths.
Qi Liu nodded.
"Indeed, even at that time, when the society was open and could tolerate gender modification through genetic technology and marriage to androids, giving Gaia a child was too avant-garde... After all, it is another species."
"Not to mention the uncontrollable risks that may arise from the experiment, there is also a lot of moral controversy in the experiment itself. Since Gaia itself does not have the ability to split a second personality, they had to use a person with a complete
The human volunteer of the mind serves as the provider of the mind...even if the volunteer does so voluntarily.”
etc-
Why does this sound so familiar?
Chu Guang's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he thought of Luo Yu for some reason.
However, there were mostly errors in that matter, and there were still some differences when looking at it carefully. Qi Liu didn't notice the subtle expression on Chu Guang's face, and just continued seriously.
"Although everyone thought they were crazy at the time, what a coincidence... Due to Gaia's active cooperation, this experiment, which seemed to be no different from crazy to everyone, unexpectedly achieved results...
Success."
"In this way, Gaia, a citizen of the People's Federation of China, was born. It is a new life form whose shape is completely determined by ideology. It is superficial to define it by gender, age, and skin color. It can grow as long as it wants to fly.
If you grow wings, you can grow gills if you want to swim underwater...as long as there are enough nutrients in the environment."
“Some people cheer for this, believing that if this technology is applied to the field of planetary transformation, it will provide more habitable planets for humans, while others are nervous that humans will no longer be human, but become myths.
monster."
"But no matter what, this technology has been invented... Before we completed our own monument 'Gestalt Life Form', we first completed someone else's monument - 'Amorphous Life Form'." This is the evolutionary tree
Another possibility, philosophically speaking, is that since I am Him, He is the whole.”
A trace of astonishment appeared on Chu Guang's face. "...Is this the seed of Gaia?"
The BOSS that his Lao Bai killed with one ax was actually such an awesome thing?! Qi Liu looked at him seriously and nodded.
"A manipulative war madman turned into a monster covered with tentacles. He no longer needs aircraft, cannons and tanks. If you give him enough time and let him swallow the entire province of Batoya, he himself
They can become an army... But fortunately, he didn't give up the last line until you pushed him to the edge. And you also dealt with it in a timely manner, leaving no chance for them."
Chu Guang coughed slightly and said.
"...I think it may just be that he doesn't know what the technology he has is, and there is no reason for the Enlightenment Society to fully explain it to them."
"Enlightenment meeting..." Qi Liu smiled for some reason, shook his head and said, "What do KB elements like that who can't stand on the stage know? The most they can do is be used as pawns."
Chu Guang frowned slightly.
"...You mean, it's the "celestial beings" who control all of this?" The descendants of the expeditionary force who are staying at Lagrange Point Starport... are suspected of being an extraterrestrial force that has taken over the remnants of the Torch Church.
So it was these people who gave Tyr the last super weapon?! Through the hands of the Enlightenment...
Looking at Chu Guang who was deep in thought, Qi Liu slowly nodded and confessed the secret they had never revealed on behalf of the academy.
"God."
"They are the only ones who have both the technical information of the Human Alliance and the technical information of the colonies... They are also the only survivor force who have mastered the "Seed of Gaia"."
