Chapter 196 The Energy Crisis and the Secret of the Red City
The Peak Team and the Special Agent Team went to the Red City to spawn monsters. Cheng Shaofeng looked at the 547 [Electronic Components] and started thinking.
"Another large amount of materials has been deposited into the account. Theoretically, new players can be summoned."
"But how to solve the energy problem is confusing."
"Players, give me some strength and provide me with the energy supply!"
Originally, he had high hopes for the mixed crystal production area, and he could get the crystals by swiping the mutants. However, after a few waves of mutants and veteran players, they found that it was a bit too strong, so they all ran away!
A total of dozens of small crystal grains were harvested, which added up to more than 5,000 points of energy, which was less than one of his crystal stones!
As the player level rises, activities become more and more frequent, not only decomposition and resurrection, but also the energy consumption increases. The current energy consumption of the base is as high as 6,000 points per day, which is seriously overloaded!
The energy brought from the predators has been rushed into the base, but according to the current consumption, it can only last for a week at most, and then he has to use the 20,000 in the [Mixed Crystal] he brought back from the Chamber of Commerce.
After using up the energy, it will be the remaining 30,000 energy of the [Thunder Crystal] I just got.
With full calculations, based on the current consumption, he can still hold on for half a month.
"No. If all the crystal energy is used to charge the base, then my personal ability will increase very slowly. This is not right. How can the players become a burden to me? I have to find a way from them."
At present, most of the new players are at level 6, with some reaching level 7. The level of real-life players will be a little lower, but it doesn't matter. I didn't plan to rely on them for energy.
It will be good if the base is well constructed.
"You still have to explore. The current atmosphere in the base is not right. Those led by the Peak Team and the Drum Washing Machine are all biased towards grinding. The levels rise very quickly, but it also leads to the fact that the energy problem has not been solved for a long time."
To the north is Red City, which is right on the edge of the central base station of the natural disaster base. There is no need to leave it for now. It is difficult for players to go north before they break through Red City. Most of the routes are blocked.
Abnormal Undead: "There are so many monsters around, and it's hard to get out if you want to. What if you die along the way and the body is eaten by wild beasts? Wouldn't it be a waste of a resurrection coin? It would be even worse! Why not continue to grind,
Wait until you reach level 10 before leaving the mountain. If it is more expensive, it will be more expensive. At worst, you can just sell it in the store without breaking it down, and you can still stock up on iron coins."
Cheng Shaofeng has just upgraded many skills and must summon Shadow Guard again to inherit them.
[Loot Generator] rarely generates weapon-type equipment, and most of them rely on players to grab it from outside. The quality is very average, and they are basically white and ordinary. Xiaoxiao and the others have mastered the technology of forging [rare] equipment. After players
Very popular here.
[‘Butter 2 yuan a piece’ has been banned by the lord for 1 hour. 】
Xigou: "Huh? What's wrong?"
The two base stations were a big project. The nanoengineers in Cheng Shaofeng's body made billions of copies of themselves and took action quickly.
After sending this announcement, Cheng Shaofeng nodded himself.
After the announcement was made, all players started chatting on the world channel.
"I found you!"
boom!
He fired a shot into the sky, and the next second, there was a riot in Red City!
[3. Players who explore large energy mines or energy generation sources will receive special rewards from the lord. 】
Forgive Hat: "Actually, the impact is not big. You can just farm what you need. It's just that the income from going out may increase. This is an uncertain income. It is possible to find a crystal energy mine after going out for a day, and then turn it over to the lord to make money.
Even if you have a big fortune, you may go out for 3 days and come back dead without finding anything."
Polar Bear: "Good guy, you know a lot about online writing. The game is actually quite similar to the online writing. They both have the core of upgrading and killing monsters."
Xiaoxiao also opened a weapons shop to sell weapons made by several of them.
It’s almost enough to buy two of the latest [Frost Barrage] bullets.
[Due to the current low energy supply of the base, it has fallen into an energy crisis. All soldiers need to find energy. Any form of energy can supply energy to our natural disaster base! 】
Everyone: "???"
A few people were chatting and walking on Hongcheng Street.
Inexplicable: "Let's explore, then we mysterious professional players have the advantage. After all, there are summons like crows with good vision. I understand, let's rent a horse and go out."
【Notice! Important notice!】
On this day, players in the natural disaster base ran in different directions and embarked on the road to find energy.
However, within half an hour, the players' signals were disconnected from the communication base station.
Lao Ao thought for a while and suddenly said: "That's not right."
Turkey-flavored crispy rice: "It's very possible! Materials have always driven scientific and technological progress. When basic materials become crystal energy, they will naturally promote another technology, which can be called crystal energy technology."
"There are enough materials to build 2 base stations. Let's put them in the darkest places on the surrounding map."
If Cheng Shaofeng hadn't reacted and asked Lao Zhao to keep 3 horses as backup, they would all have been taken away by the players.
Long Yi pointed to the new computer in his hand: "It's just some simple codes. I temporarily took over part of the city's self-defense mechanism and isolated the Jiao people from us. If you don't believe me, listen."
Xiaoxiao and Xuezi no longer make iron by themselves, but leave it to the skeletons. Three new life players will supervise the work and correct mistakes, and their iron production has also increased significantly.
Their shop not only accepts customized weapon services, but also creates some melee weapons with various attributes for sale in the store.
Lao Ao pointed to the closed street and said: "Since the Jiaohua people have been isolated and they can go to the warehouse to get things, why do they still need to take us with them? Aren't they afraid that we will come to grab resources? Or they have too many resources.
If you can’t finish moving, give us some points? It’s not very logical.”
After some operations, the new shadow guard entered Cheng Dafu's body. Cheng Shaofeng himself lay weakly on the recliner, and then closed his eyes peacefully.
The gates here are extremely powerful. Let alone scratching through them, even missiles may not be able to blast them open with one shot. Of course, the most important thing is that these scorched people will not destroy the gates inside this base, because they
The chip in his brain is still connected to the main system, and there is a program in the chip that prohibits destroying the door."
The cameras in the surrounding streets all turned around, illuminating their figures, and countless strange sounds came from all directions.
Xiaoxiao, who was tinkering in front of the blast furnace, immediately stood up and said, "Lord, all the iron we smelt every day has been stored in your warehouse. Currently, we have a total of nearly 2 tons!"
The demon fox said: "How long can this defense withstand them? Will it be broken suddenly? Then we will be surrounded?"
"We are one!"
Although Lao Ao usually talks very little and is always a tool for the team, but whenever he speaks, it is very important information.
This time, he went to Feisha City and won a lot of rewards, which also showed that more exploration players are needed to discover broader landscapes and opportunities. Leveling up is basic, and if you want to develop comprehensively, you must explore.
Long Yi added: "Currently, I can only control a small part of the gate. In order to get those computers, I planned a route to the warehouse, so this is the only road I can take. Come with me."
Taking a Necromancer with full-level skeletons as an example, you can rent 3 skeletons and the minimum offline time is 8 hours a day, which is 3*3*8=72 iron coins.
Red City.
"Go, my Shadow Guard!"
While they were chatting, Cheng Shaofeng and Zero had already chosen a location to build a new communication base station.
[Due to the 'energy crisis' emergency situation, the natural disaster base has adjusted some mission rewards and equipment usage charges]
At the same time, there is a job that other players can do in the weapon shop: renting skeletons.
Long Yi: "No, I hacked into the city's defense control system and found some information. This city underwent intelligent combat readiness transformation before the end of the world. It was built by the country to deal with serious crises, like a...
Alternate Earthly Noah's Ark City.
Building a signal tower mainly requires a large amount of iron and electronic components. Currently, there is no shortage of electronic components. As for iron,
"Xiaoxiao, how's the ironmaking going lately? How much have you saved?"
[1. All rewards for surrendering energy are doubled! 】
The special agent team moved forward, and Xigou and the others followed.
“We have to resort to measures to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.”
The energy of the natural disaster base is also slowly decreasing, which is used for the transportation and construction of nanorobots.
Tsk la tsk la~
There was also the harsh sound of fingernails scratching the steel plate, which made everyone's ears uncomfortable.
Milky-white Yukiko: "Hey, do you think that if we didn't discover steam and electricity on earth, but discovered crystal energy, would we have moved from the Industrial Revolution to the Magic Revolution? And then we would be what we are now?"
"Damn! The cell tower coverage is too short!"
Many players are discussing the announcement, some of them are scolding the lords, and some players who have long been tired of grinding are just planning to go out and take a look.
Therefore, today's iron smelting is basically done by skeletons. With some simple instructions, they can complete mechanical operations. Especially high-level skeletons are the best to use. They also have a certain amount of wisdom and can do some similar things.
Complex instructions for adding plant ash.
Drum washing machine: "I'll go! Isn't this aimed at us brush players! The consumption has doubled. We have to break down a lot of things every day to fight the Void Spirit. The iron coins cannot make ends meet. The pure version is resentful!"
Xiaoxiao calls their assembly line: magic automation.
"The construction will take a day to summon a shadow guard again. Let's go to the Red City with the Peak Team to have a look. We will be training for Cheng Dafu for a week before playing in the game."
"How did you do it? Cut off their power?"
"Players are easy to direct. Just give them a few hints and follow your own direction. I wish you good luck."
Butter is 2 yuan a piece: "Damn! I just went to decompose things, and the price has increased! It cost me an extra 30 iron coins, and my already weak wallet is even worse. A lord is not a son of man!"
The southeast is the territory of the Rangers, but it is also the route from Colossus City to this side. It is a place that Cheng Shaofeng himself and the players must pass through frequently, so a communication base station is placed.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's equivalent to the idle income, so don't waste it.
The other thing is to put one in the southwest. In addition to the virtual spirits, there is a vast unexplored area there, and it can also cover the mutated biological zone of the mountain col. It kills two birds with one stone and is very cost-effective.
Lintang listened with great interest: "It's fun. There is also a plot here to introduce some background stories of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is interesting. According to what you said. If you hack into the host all the way, wouldn't you be able to control these charred people for our use?
?If these things can be controlled, good guys! We will directly wipe out all the monsters around the base! Level up to 10 levels in one day!"
Long Yi: "Theoretically speaking, it's possible! But since this is a game, I don't think the game planner will leave such obvious loopholes for us to exploit. It is estimated that a program air wall will appear at the last step, which makes me unable to
How to enter the settings of Hongcheng's host, etc. In short, you know, the plot is not enough, the system will make it up, don't ask, just ask for the settings."
The task for Xiaoxiao and the others who are engaged in steel work is to turn in the iron materials. The current level has reached level 8, and they are all gained through the task experience.
The more than 50 horses raised in the base were rented out by players almost instantly.
Beyond the distance!
"In this case, the behavior logic of the players will change, and some players will be transformed from pure brush players to explore and collect."
Before going offline, Necromancer players can rent skeletons to weapon shops for them to smelt iron, and each skeleton will be given 3 iron coins per hour.
Xigou looked around vigilantly, and there was no sign of the large group of Scorch Man being besieged by him before. Even though his feet were covered in mud, it did not attract the dispatch of the Scorch Cleaners.
Therefore, undead players are still very willing to rent skeletons to them.
After editing for a while, Cheng Shaofeng issued a world announcement.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sounds of banging on the doors kept coming, and the Jiaohua people were trapped behind an unknown number of doors.
Xiaoxiao and Xuezi recruited three helpers from new players to work together on the base's steel business.
Six people from the Peak Team and 30 people from the Special Agent Team stood at the gate of the sewage plant.
[2. The cost of using the loot generator is doubled, the policy of free first two times a day is cancelled, and the cost of iron coins for each use is doubled. 】
Cheng Shaofeng felt much more comfortable as he watched the maps opening up in all directions.
Fang Gang: "Good guys, our special agent team has just entered the Red City and there was a world announcement. I just want to announce that players who have passed level 10 can team up with us and come to the Red City to get some good things."
"Okay, enough for me to build two signal towers."
"Hehehe~ Smart." Wei Long has a very good ear and said with a smile after hearing it.
"The reason why I invite you here is actually for two things, and I need your help."
"These controllable gates block us in a relatively peripheral area, which is roughly equivalent to the suburbs of this city. It is the place where outsiders will enter immediately, so there have been many scavengers picking up everything before us.
Went away and most locations were almost empty!
We have already moved all the resources that can be moved. In the current situation, if we want to change the rise and fall of the gate, it will inevitably cause a fierce battle. At that time, we will need your combat power to work with us to deal with some of the Scorched People who rush in. "
"The other thing is that we found a hidden door when we were moving the computer room, but it couldn't be opened. I judged intuitively. I think there are some important props or clues in that door."
