There is no doubt that using virtual reality to build a replica-like test scene and throwing tens of thousands of people into it for route simulation is an extremely crazy act.
Not to mention whether the server can withstand the upper limit of instantaneous computing power, the energy consumption alone is an astronomical figure that is currently a headache.
But fortunately, nearly one ton of energy stone has been mined, and the territory currently has no energy consumption demand.
This special energy ore, which can directly absorb thermal radiation, is simply a natural treasure house.
After absorbing enough energy, connect it to the transformer conversion module, and then input it to the server port.
A short period of time is always enough.
Afterwards, it only takes two or three days of energy absorption to replenish these expenditures.
Soon, more and more villagers couldn't stop their eyes from wandering, and their breathing rate also gradually decreased, as if they were falling asleep.
But in another world invisible to the naked eye, in a huge white jade square, more and more people began to appear.
"Scavenger team, the scavengers come to my place to gather and let's go out and break through the barrier together!"
"The instructor standing there for the reserve soldiers seems to be Damn, Deputy Minister Su Deben!"
"Each route will have different level results. The top ten on the route can actually receive a reward of one plus one in talent level. This is really cool."
"It's bad, the chef apprentice is really losing money. There are not many people in our territory who can meet the conditions, right?"
"It's great, it's great. Isn't this a free reward!?"
"Hurry up and rush. There is a time limit, but there is no limit on the number of times. If you go faster, you may be able to simulate each route once!"
Hanging high above the square are the detailed rules of this double election. After looking up and reading these, the villagers in the square instantly became excited.
Before, they were still thinking about how to choose the most suitable one among the routes they could choose.
But now, it’s a waste to think about it.
As long as the attributes are within the restricted range, regardless of the difficulty, give it a try and then talk about it.
As a result, the two groups of mechanical apprentices and chef apprentices that were originally ignored were lined up in a long queue.
These talents who were previously poached from the Tundra Refuge, whether in terms of brain power or talent, can all meet the demanding attribute requirements.
Rays of light flashed through, and the number of people in the square began to dwindle, immersed in trial simulations belonging to different routes.
"Tutor, I want to try as a mechanical apprentice."
After finally squeezing into the front row, Mala Tie Hammer gasped and quickly raised his hands to apply.
A breeze blew by, and when the vision dimmed and then brightened, the square disappeared from sight.
Instead, there was a slightly dark small room with simple oil lamps hanging on the walls.
The facilities in the room are very simple. In order to save computing power, even the doors and windows are not considered.
There is only a large table in the middle, with different types of tools and materials displayed on it.
[The first test: Use the tools in front of you to make a mechanical device to move the wooden table to the corner within a limited time. 】
"Mobile wooden table?"
Mala Tie Hammer touched his chin, then walked to the table and tested the weight with his hands.
It's not too heavy, only about two hundred kilograms.
It is definitely difficult to carry such a heavy object, but it can be done with a little effort just by moving it to one place.
"Since it is a test of mechanical ability, it means that brute force cannot be used, that's why"
Staring at the materials and tools in front of him, Spicy Iron Hammer's eyes flickered, and he quickly thought of what he wanted to make.
Labor-saving lever tower crane!
As long as this thing can be rubbed out, let alone moving the table, it is not a problem even if it is hung and rotated in the room.
"Want to move the table?"
Spicy Iron Hammer touched the saw on the table, and the first thought in his mind was to apply more roughly.
There are finished pulleys on the table. As long as you can cut off the four table legs, moving the table will be easy.
This can achieve the best results in the simplest and most intuitive way.
Even though the method is a bit extreme, in his opinion, this is the original intention of the emergence of the discipline of mechanics.
“The test of a farmer only requires harvesting this acre of corn?”
The strong-bodied chicken was standing on a high slope, looking at the cornfield below.
He has long, artistic hair that covers most of his face, and it seems like he shouldn't be here.
But as he picked up the farm tools on the ground, the artistic temperament was quickly receding.
Very skilled.
Literally.
With a sickle in hand and a large frame on the back, it only takes more than ten seconds to process each corn stalk.
Even though the sun was shining brightly above my head and the chicken blood was surging, I was suddenly unaware and completely immersed in the joy of harvesting.
But on the other side.
There are always people who can't figure out the difference between agricultural production labor and harvesting vegetables with just one click in the game.
The Misty Tractor, which had previously claimed to cultivate a piece of the sky and become a wasteland farmer, performed much better when faced with an acre of cornfield.
He used his arms to break off the corns from the sticks in a very awkward manner. After only breaking off more than 20 sticks, he felt a burst of pain in his arms.
Especially against the harsh sunlight above his head, he felt as if he was about to melt into the cornfield.
The work on my hands is getting slower and slower, and my lips are getting dry.
After breaking off more than ten more of them, Mist Tractor became dizzy and fell to the ground.
The scene in his mind of driving a farming machine and plowing in the fields did not happen.
Some are just endless hard work and cruel sunshine.
After a while, when he felt a sense of coolness coming from him, he suddenly realized that he had left that damn cornfield!
"Oops, am I eliminated?"
Seeing the instructor in front of him shaking his head slightly, Misty Tractor stood up helplessly and returned to the center of the square, lost in confusion.
His attributes are not low. Except for the fact that his health is only 1 point and cannot meet the basic requirements of a chef apprentice, he can choose from several other routes.
The reason why he chose the farming route was because he was scared of hunger during the early days of the wasteland and the few months he spent in the Origin Camp. The nightmares he had when he fell asleep at night were of losing all the food and having to endure hunger again.
"It seems we can only try other routes."
Shaking his head, Misty Tractor stood up and walked towards the mechanical apprentice who had the largest number of people in the queue.
"Use the advantage of terrain to kill aliens?"
The island nation's number one male gunman stood among the ruins of a building, pulled out a sharp steel bar and held it in his hand.
He originally wanted to choose the mechanical apprenticeship, but there were too many people there, so the scavengers came first.
It's really different from the imagined test. This scavenger doesn't test the ability to pick up garbage. Instead, it's like a reserve soldier.
"Killing aliens is quite interesting."
Pulling the hood on his head, the island nation's number one male gunner lowered his body and shrank his 175-inch body into a corner, almost blending in with the surrounding ruins.
In his field of vision, a confused kobold was walking in front of him, looking around.
It's a pity that the kobold's eyesight is really poor.
I walked all the way to the island country's number one male gunner, but I couldn't find the sound and shadow lurking in the ruins.
Huh!
A black shadow flashed past, the steel bar was inserted into the kobold's throat, and a stream of black blood spurted out.
The careless kobold never saw the creature that killed him until his death.
However, the number one male gunner in the island nation was not happy yet.
Two similar figures suddenly appeared in the distance, looking towards them.
"The number of people is increasing? Interesting!"
With a strange cry, the number one gunman in the island country quickly planned to pull out the steel bars and retreat, but on the ground where the kobold died just now, a decent-looking fire ax appeared out of nowhere.
The ax blade shone with light, revealing a touch of cold air.
He rolled on the ground to avoid two flying fireballs, grabbed the fire ax and ran away.
Compared to the mechanical apprentice route, at this moment, the number one male gunner in the island country suddenly discovered.
Weird.
This scavenger is really interesting.
Compared with the sameness in the machinery industry, this kind of life of licking blood from the edge of a knife seems to be quite refreshing?!
"Lord, the first person to pass the test has come out. He is Ma Haoge from the chef apprentice route. Rating: A-, channel nickname: Ramen Juicing."
In another part of the square, the management of Tianyuan Territory sat in a spacious conference room.
As Marshal Wang finished speaking, a panel naturally appeared in the conference room, and pictures began to play on it.
As one of the first people to come to Tianyuan territory, Ma Haoge is a famous noodle chef in the cafeteria.
As long as you can pass the level of attribute points, it is only a matter of time before you pass the chef apprentice test.
but
"He doesn't want to work in the cafeteria anymore and wants to go out and work alone?"
Compared with a stable job in the cafeteria, Ma Haoge's biggest pursuit is to have his own shop and stall.
"It's normal for him to have his wife and children, so he has some thoughts." Chen Shen explained quietly from the side.
"Now we plan to contract out the public canteen that we planned for these people to work on their own. At that time, they can purchase ingredients with the logistics department, and then prepare and sell them in a unified way, so that people can be rich and frugal."
"Hey, the second person has also come out. It's a sugar cube from the craft enthusiast route. Rating: A-. Channel nickname: Want to eat candy."
The screen switched to freeze, and Fang Tang, who was about 155 years old and looked cute, was holding a small mantle high.
It is different from other routes that have a clear test purpose.
The handicraft enthusiast category will ask participants what they are most eager to make when entering.
After answering, the corresponding tools and materials will be provided to the participants for manual manufacturing.
Fang Tang answered with clothes that fit her well, and the little mandarin jacket in her hand was her work.
"The third person is here, Zhang Ao from the construction apprenticeship route, evaluation: A+, channel nickname: There is no one in your Gary."
In the picture, Zhang Aozheng is standing on a high platform made of mud bricks and laughing loudly.
Under the high platform, there are densely packed spike traps. The aliens who come from a distance rush to follow, but often they are stabbed to the core by the spikes before they take a few steps.
"The remaining rules of the fourth person scavenger route, evaluation A+, channel nickname: Old Electrician"
The screen flashed, and there were nearly sixty kobolds lying on the ground among the ruins of the building.
Especially the dozen or so people in the front row were all burnt black and shrunk so badly that their original appearance could hardly be seen.
Under them, there was a dark wire soaked in the water, and two electric sparks popped out from time to time.
The old electrician Yu Gui was hiding comfortably in the corner, looking at the kobolds that might appear from other angles.
"Fifth Person"
"The Sixth Man"
"The eleventh man."
As the test lasted longer, more and more people gradually passed and got a spot in the double selection meeting.
For some, like Ma Haoge, the work on earth was highly overlapped with the current work, and they encountered almost no substantive problems.
Some have discovered their own nature, experienced a wave of natural liberation, and found the key to a new world.
Of course, there are always people who are unclear about what they are good at and where their future path lies.
Many people participated in many routes, but they were eliminated at a very fast pace, becoming the first person to be eliminated in this double election.
"Two hundred and sixty-one, mechanical apprentice route, Shu Yao, rating: S-, channel nickname: Spicy Hammer."
The first S-level evaluation is finally out.
Sumo clicked on the video interface, glanced at the big guy inside, and nodded in agreement with this evaluation.
"I remember he said on the channel before that he wanted to set up a factory?"
As a standard for setting up a factory with a loan, currently only those who have reached S level or above in the double selection meeting are eligible to enter the test stage.
This is not only to prevent unnecessary losses, but also to raise the threshold and stimulate territorial competition.
"I have said that this person used to work at the mine. He often helped Professor Lu and Professor Ai. He seems to have two skills."
In the picture, Spicy Iron Hammer has completed all the tasks, with a heartfelt smile on his face. He seems to be very satisfied with the mechanical device he spent time making.
As a test, his current performance perfectly meets the requirements of a mechanical apprentice.
Love it and pay for it.
but
Seeing Spicy Iron Hammer returning to the square to excitedly submit an application for route selection, Sumo couldn't help but feel a flash of joy in his heart.
Happy?
If only this child knew how much money the territory invested in basic industry and how difficult it was to support research and development.
I'm afraid it's time to cry now.
Although most of the physical rules of the wasteland are the same as those of the earth, there are still considerable differences in the specific materials.
For example, Dali iron ore is now mined from the ground.
Although compared with ordinary iron ore, the iron content of Dali iron ore is higher, significantly exceeding the 55% standard for rich ores, and there are fewer harmful impurities such as phosphorus, sulfur, lead and zinc. After smelting and purification, even if it does not require repeated forging
Can be used as excellent raw materials.
But in comparison, the melting point of ordinary iron ore on Tieshi Mountain is around 1500 degrees Celsius, but the melting point of Dali Iron Ore is over 2300 degrees Celsius!
If Spicy Iron Hammer wants to develop from Dali Iron Mine, it must first overcome the high temperature barrier.
When will a blast furnace capable of melting Dali iron ore be developed and when will the next step be carried out?
As for using the claim point to upgrade the Dali Iron Ore midway,
No matter how you think about it, it is much better to outsource this basic industrial research and development and let more passionate people do the research than to force the territory to issue tasks!
Sumo can almost see the grand scene of the Tianyuan Territory Development Industrial Zone in less than half a year.
Maybe wait until this thick fog dissipates and another caravan comes here.
They will no longer be able to believe that this is the Tianyuan territory in their memories!
"It seems it's time to start the planning and construction of the industrial zone. There are quite a few S-class people here."
"Fortunately, I dug some high-quality corners from Lu Yongyi."
Looking at the S-level evaluations that appeared one after another on the screen, Sumo thought in his heart.
For the construction of industrial zones, there is currently a feng shui treasure land.
It's some distance from the village, and the mine set up by the research institute is very good.
There is no need to worry about industrial pollution, and enough infrastructure space can be reserved in advance.
At the same time, using the territory to upgrade a few production buildings will not arouse the curiosity and panic of the villagers.
If people like Lu Kuan are free and occasionally go into the factory to give instructions and solve small problems, then there is no need for him, the lord, to worry about the speed of development.
Feeling that his idea was very reasonable, Su Mo turned his head and planned to discuss it with Lu Kuan, who had been sleeping off yesterday and was dozing off secretly.
However, at this moment, a white light flashed in the conference room, and a guard rushed in.
"Lord, the gray mist has changed!"
"More and more things are appearing around the village!"
