Chapter 284 Shelter 303 and the Human Fire Project
Author: Six Heavens of Ice and Fire
The astrologer was still a little restrained when he was brought to the administrative center of Hongcheng.
Especially when looking at the man sitting above and the fourth-order fisherman robot next to him, his palms couldn't help but sweat.
He had gone to Sishan Base more than a month ago to show off.
One word will destroy other people's bases.
It's better now. Not only has it developed better, but it has reached the fourth level!
His strength has declined slightly with age.
For him, who is not a small sect of the nine major human heritages, it is even worse.
The astrologer has already arranged in his mind the genealogy of the people who sent him to negotiate with the natural disaster base.
But he eats people's salaries and works for them.
You have to speak up even if you bite the bullet.
"Ahem. The old astrologer, under the orders of the manager of Refuge 303, came to have friendly exchanges with your base."
"Where's that big mountain motorcycle of yours? The one with the roaring engine last time, don't tell me, it's quite impressive with the thunder clouds above your head!"
"Well, I was stopped by a robot and parked outside the city gate. When I went to your base last time, was the engine sound loud? I didn't pay attention. Maybe it's because I'm old and my ears are not working properly. I really shouldn't disturb the residents."
"No, no, no, the motorcycle engine is not too loud. It is not as loud as your voice."
"."
If something goes wrong, this is a call to action.
The astrologer knew that what he had done last time to show off was going to be revealed, but fortunately he was prepared.
I saw him calmly taking out a hearing aid from his ear.
"Oh, I'm getting old. This is the only way I can communicate with people now. I can't even hear myself speak clearly, and I can't control my voice. You see, at my age, I feel powerless to do many things."
"Okay, I pretend to be very good."
"Ah? What are you talking about? Oh, I don't have a hearing aid. I can't hear clearly. Let me put it on first."
"."
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the treacherous old astrologer in front of him. He had completely lost the arrogant mage and macho look before. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The old man is still hotter."
This ability to adapt to the wind and his thick skin are like no one else.
Cheng Shaofeng chuckled and said, "I won't do this nonsense with you anymore. After a while, show me the skills you used last time, and what happened last time will be revealed. Do you understand?"
The astrologer immediately heard clearly: "Okay~"
This old man's skills are quite cool and seem to be quite powerful. The range damage of the thunder system must be retained.
After the two talked about their grievances last time, Cheng Shaofeng asked: "Has your 303 shelter received my kindness? Are you planning to become friends with me this time?"
"Exactly!"
The astrologer also regained his composure: "Our manager said that your base's forging technology is comparable to some of the time-honored brands in Central City. We are very optimistic about the future development of your base. Since we both belong to the surrounding forces of Colossus City, we also have some unique skills.
Products should be friendly and mutually supportive, and exchange what is needed."
Cheng Shaofeng chuckled and said: "What I have shown you is only part of the technology. We have more capabilities that you can't imagine. If you want to cooperate with us, you have to see your sincerity."
The astrologer was already prepared. He waved his hand and asked his two men to carry a large box and opened it in front of him.
There are stacks of firearms and ammunition inside!
It’s like entering the weapon shop in GTA5 by mistake!
Cheng Shaofeng sat up straight: "Where did you get such a complete set of firearms?"
Astrologer: "We have a production line. After the Wasteland Era, human cities were severely fragmented, and most of the means of production were missing. Only the shelters that were once officially built still retain a complete military industry system, and our 303 shelter still exists
There is a complete production line for thermal weapons."
"At the same time, we have top-notch planting technology and equipment that can cultivate a variety of plants adapted to the world. It can be said that when you cooperate with us, you no longer have to worry about food problems."
"I wonder if this sincerity is enough?"
Cheng Shaofeng thought for a moment.
Although we have now entered an era where all members are extraordinary, and human evolvers are the fundamental combat power, this thermal weapon is still an extremely powerful weapon on the battlefield.
After the world had crystal energy, human inheritance did not develop into the profession of war, magic and animal husbandry in the game, and lived an ancient life.
Instead, we have developed an evolutionary inheritance suitable for the present based on the current capabilities of human beings.
Among them, [Judge], [Explosion] and [Soldier] are the most dependent on modern weapons.
The large number of enchanted bullets of the Inquisitor have enhanced the thermal weapon capabilities, and through the improvement and energy embedding of explosions, new types of grenades, mines, cannons and other very modern skills have been developed.
The foundation of soldiers is to be proficient in using thermal weapons and props of various major traditions, and then supplemented by their own melee attacks, they are all-rounders.
Currently, most of the firearms in the natural disaster base are purchased through the Colossus City Chamber of Commerce, except for a large number of energy guns seized from Red City.
They really don't have any decent thermal weapons suppliers.
As the number of players increases, the weapons of the Chamber of Commerce are actually not enough, and most of their thermal weapons are given to the Colossus City officials and soldiers on the frontline battlefield. What can be released to Cheng Shaofeng are outdated ones.
weapons.
The 4-round hand-loaded rifle simply discredits the history of human military industry development for so many years.
Although the energy guns seized from the androids in Hong City are good, their types are too single and cannot replace a variety of thermal weapons.
For example, the anti-material sniper rifle that Brother Xiao Ma often uses recently, with its slender armor-piercing bullets, coupled with bullet enchantment and [Rhythm Strike] triple charge, one shot can open a big hole in the flesh of a fourth-level evolver.
It is indeed necessary for players to have more thermal weapons.
There is nothing to say about food. Recently, they have chosen Huangshi Farm, which is closer and cheaper for their purchases. That is the industry of 303 Shelter. In the future, as the number of players increases, they will definitely continue to purchase.
Cheng Shaofeng nodded slightly and said:
"It's easy to talk about cooperation. Everyone gets what they need and the price is clearly marked. It's all a sale. But what I want to know more is. What kind of organization is your 303 shelter? Look at the number. Are there any other shelters like 301, 302, 404?
So, you don’t seem to be present on the frontline battlefields. The nine major heritages of the Human Alliance have not heard of anyone from the shelter agency.”
Since a large number of players have recently entered various human cities, Cheng Shaofeng secretly watches the players' updates on the official website every day. The news channels have also been broadened, and he has learned a lot about the current human situation.
But he had rarely heard the voice of the organization Sanctuary.
Cheng Shaofeng wanted to know, what kind of identity does Sanctuary 303 play in this world? According to them, they were once official, so why are there no voices in the Human Alliance, which now controls most of human rights?
Hearing this question, the astrologer sighed subconsciously.
"We are just some antiques left over from the times. This is not a secret. Have you heard of the Human Fire Project?"
"A long time ago, when mankind was still in a peaceful era, although countries played different roles in the international arena and often imposed sanctions, the leaders of various countries had a high degree of consensus on one thing, and that was the fate of the human race.
The continuation must be done with a backup plan.”
"Whether it is a sudden natural disaster, unknown aliens, or a world war that may break out, these events that are enough to destroy mankind, no matter what the position of everyone is, they are all human beings. Humanity continues
, this is a top priority for a race, and it is impossible for them to make no preparations."
"One of the extremely secret documents of various countries is the 'Human Fire Project'. At that time, multiple large-scale shelters were secretly built underground in various countries around the world, named after serial numbers, to ensure that humans could retain fire under any extreme circumstances, not only
Genetic fire also includes cultural and technological fire, and they all have a complete set of self-circulating microecological environments to ensure that humans can live long enough."
"However, it is impossible for a shelter to contain all technologies, and each country will not share its core scientific and technological documents. Therefore, each shelter is equipped with a part of core scientific and technological technologies and a large amount of information and documents according to the different positioning of the refuge.
"
"If an extreme situation occurs, senior military officers who know the shelters will quickly open shelters across the country, lead high-end talents into the shelters, and then completely block them until the world returns to normal in the future."
"Shelter 303 is one of the Fire Projects. There are many shelters like ours in the world. Originally, we could communicate with each other. However, since a large number of meteorites fell from the sky, not only a large number of artificial satellites were destroyed, but also the ground magnetic field
It also became chaotic, wireless transmission was extremely difficult, and contact was lost.”
"After losing all communications, the shelters of the major human fire projects began to be closed indefinitely. They will not be opened again until peace is restored in the world above and humans have the ability to survive and reproduce."
"The large number of meteorites falling from the sky you mentioned are the ruins of the shrine?"
The astrologer seemed a little confused when he heard this word for the first time.
"Shrines. Ruins? Is that what you call them? Not sure. In our records, they are just some weird stones that emit energy. They cannot be destroyed, but the energy density is extremely high and cannot be easily absorbed by humans. They often stay nearby.
On the contrary, it will affect people's health. After experiments by most normal human practitioners, they have concluded that the energy of this thing is harmful and have decided to stay away from this kind of meteorite."
"Oh, by the way! If you forcibly absorb such high-density energy, there is a high probability that your own functions will mutate and you will become a deformed mutant or a mutant creature."
Cheng Shaofeng frowned and went over the conditions of all the shrines he encountered.
Four Mountain Shrine - Predator (Radiated Mutant)
Red Maple Forest Shrine—Chaos Cultist (Chaos Mutant)
Red City Shrine—Intelligent Robot
‘It seems that no normal person comes into contact with the shrine’
Based on this reasoning, Cheng Shaofeng felt that the god of Hades who connected with the world through the shrine was probably not a good thing.
"No wonder. No wonder there are so many shrines that no one cares about outside. They were originally considered to be unknown."
Astrologer: "Are you talking about the two extraterrestrial meteorites, Sishan and Hongfenglin? In fact, they have been standing for 400 years. We have cleaned them up twice. Then not long after, someone ran over and became a mutant. We also
There is no other way. If we keep cleaning up, our people will also face great risks. However, because the energy emitted by these extraterrestrial meteorites is not rich, these mutants are quite weak, and they don't come out very often, so we don't care about them much.
."
"By the way, why do you call these meteorite shrine ruins?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Oh, doesn't it look like a shrine in a fairy tale from the outside? There is also energy emerging from it, just like the ancient ruins in the novel, so we just named it casually."
"Hahaha~ You also like fairy tale novels? This was my favorite thing to do when I was a child in the 303 shelter. At that time, the living space was so big and there was no place to play. I could only feel it by reading novels.
The wonderful world. I really miss it."
Cheng Shaofeng had another keen insight into another piece of information.
"You mean Vault 303 was still closed when you were a kid?"
The astrologer was very surprised: "Yes, don't you often go to the City of Colossus? Just ask the merchants for a while and you will find out, right? Our shelter was only unsealed from the underground 50 years ago, and then gradually passed through our technology
Trade with surrounding human cities has gained a firm foothold."
"By the way, as for what you said about why our shelter is not in the Human Alliance. Haha, you should already have the answer to this question."
Cheng Shaofeng understood it as soon as he counted the time.
"Because when your shelter was unsealed, the current structure of mankind has been formed. There is no place for you, and after so many years, I guess you have no energy source, and you will not produce evolvers out of thin air. Your strength only remains at thermal weapons.
Times, right?”
The astrologer smiled, and the wrinkles on his face trembled.
"Yes, but not right. What you are talking about is when we first came out. But after 50 years of development, we have used technology and crystal energy to conduct research and have achieved a lot of results. These are all unique to our shelter.
,"
"Don't underestimate the more than 300 years we have been underground."
Having said this, the astrologer smiled mysteriously and did not go any further.
The information he gave Cheng Shaofeng was semi-public information that ordinary people might not be able to check, but with the information within the Human Alliance, it is not difficult to know the source and capabilities of their shelter.
He took the initiative to speak frankly and can bring us closer to each other.
Cheng Shaofeng asked at this time: "By the way, I have another question. Do you know why the human fire project was launched back then? What kind of annihilation crisis has mankind encountered?"
The astrologer looked troubled: "This is a secret. No one except the refuge managers of the past generations knows about it."
Cheng Shaofeng frowned.
Why are they hiding this crisis?
Isn’t it because of nuclear wars in various countries around the world?
it's wired.
According to some rumors he had heard, as well as the large number of signs of war destruction in the world, it looked like a world war had broken out.
"etc!"
Cheng Shaofeng suddenly realized something.
"You said that your shelter was built jointly by world leaders after they reached a consensus?"
Astrologer: "Yes."
Cheng Shaofeng narrowed his eyes: "What are the countries in this world?"
He had a major conjecture in his mind, and at this moment, the answer was ready to come out!
