This Game is Too Real

The tenth day of the wave.

Many players have discovered that some strange NPCs have suddenly appeared on the battlefield in the last two days.

They wore orange chemical suits, black gas masks on their heads, and did not communicate with others. Usually they carried a stretcher and moved the alien corpses from the battlefield in groups of three or five, starting in the morning. Busy until the sun is going down.

These NPCs are very efficient. The two of them can transport four to five hundred corpses out a day. They are experts who often do this work.

Some careful players even saw that they actually have a KV-1 exoskeleton?

Although it is a "fruit outfit" that does not have welded steel plates or mounted weapons, it also has to be sold for 800 silver coins in the NPC shop, which is equivalent to four LD-47 rifles.

The players leaning behind the concrete **** shelter curiously watched the backs of these NPCs whispering.

"What did the dog plan to fix?"

"New professional corpse chaser?"

"Comfortable, someone has finally cleaned up these ghosts."

"+1, it smells too bad!"

"Obviously, pain can be shielded, but the smell can't be shielded, it's very embarrassing!"

It's not easy to clean up alien corpses.

With the players' brains, surely all the methods that can be used have been used.

At first everyone discussed the plan to use fire, but the actual situation was not as optimistic as expected. Often the surface layer burned into coke, the fire was extinguished, and the corpse buried underneath was still sandwiched.

This game is always real in strange places. One Molotov cocktail is enough to kill two or three eater, but if you want to burn them to ashes, three Molotov cocktails are not enough.

The water content of slime mold fruit bodies is much higher than that of humans, and the water vapor itself will take away a lot of heat.

In addition, fats and grease analogs are not so easy to light, and it is often necessary to continuously add a large amount of fuel to maintain the fire.

If it’s hard to understand, you can try a piece of meat from the refrigerator. It will take some time to cook, let alone burn it to ashes.

At present, the main method of handling these corpses on the front line is to drag them outside the city to bury them, but the speed of the transfer of the corpses is far behind the speed of accumulation.

The main offensive of Inspur usually lasts from 6 o'clock in the evening to 6 o'clock in the morning of the next day, continuously impacting the players' positions.

Counting the crawlers hunted and killed by the hunter squad in the ruins, on average, each player can kill more than 30 per day.

Obviously, the number of these alien species is far more than the 100,000 originally estimated.

After all, the number of players killed in a day is around 20,000 to 30,000, and the wave has passed ten days, but there is no sign of abating.

Fortunately, limited by the width of the battlefield and other factors, the huge number of waves cannot be fully deployed. If you encounter so many alien species on the plains, I am afraid that the number of players will inevitably fall into a bitter battle if the number of players doubles.

According to statistics posted by players responsible for transporting ammunition to the front line, the daily consumption of ammunition has been around 100,000 rounds in the last three days.

The weight of a full-power 7mm bullet is close to 25g, and one hundred thousand rounds is 2.5 tons of ammunition.

In order to make up the materials needed for the ammunition production line, Chu Guang could only mobilize the new men to plan Renlian's ancestral grave, and at the same time direct the military factory to open two new ammunition production lines to produce steel-core and steel-shell ammunition.

Compared with copper shell ammunition, steel shell ammunition has many problems such as poor ductility, inability to reload, and possible rust, but in Chu Guang's view, all the shortcomings can be overwhelmed by one advantage, that is, it is cheap.

Anyway, the ammunition was quickly sent to the front line to be consumed. The consideration of preservation is a bit redundant. The ammunition produced on the assembly line does not need to be reloaded. The shells picked up are sent directly to the steel plant for melting.

Starting from the eighth day, the battle on the front line entered a phase of consumption.

Batches of ammunition were transported to the frontline, and batches of corpses were dragged down from the frontline. Most of them belonged to alien species, and a few belonged to players.

At first, the corpses were all moved by the young people, and they were dragged to the suburbs to dig a pit and buried, but recently a group of professional NPCs took over these tasks.

Many players who love to dig out details are full of confusion and curiosity.

What about alien corpses?

Where did you go?

But this curiosity did not last long.

Some careful life professional players soon opened an NPC factory named Didiwei Food Processing Factory in the southernmost part of the new industrial zone after the Bach Aluminum Material Factory.

The main products of this factory are nutrient paste and organic fertilizer. It also supplies sulfur and phosphorous to the fertilizer plant.

Those trucks coming down from the front line.

They all seem to rush there...

…

"Wasteland OL" official website.

I found that the WC of New World really had mosquitoes, and I couldn’t wait to open a post on the forum.

"Big news! The whereabouts of the gnawing body has been found!"

Shaozi: "Where did you go?"

Macabazi: "Hurry up! Don't sell it!"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "Yes!"

Seeing that it caused public outrage, the mosquito who wanted to let the topic ferment for a while before uncovering the mystery, did not dare to continue to sell it, and typed quickly.

"Didiwei Food Processing Factory! It's on the southernmost side of the industrial zone. What I saw with my own eyes, the trucks dragging the corpses went straight in!"

Lao Bai: "Puff...this name."

Quit smoking: "Fuck?! I bought one yesterday! (panic

Ye Shi: "Awesome! You even bought it?!"

Quit smoking: "Uh, it's mainly cheap, only 1 silver coin per pound of nutritional cream, and I can eat two meals. (Embarrassed

Fang Chang: "Don't make it. (Laughing and crying

Ye Shi: "Distressed to quit smoking brother... This is too economical. (covering his face

Sisi: "Hey...have the foodies finally let go of the eater?"

Tail: "Shocked! This is a loss of morality, or a distortion of human nature!"

Quit smoking: "Gan! Is it weird to save money to buy equipment? I just want to spend the silver coins in more useful places, don't you plan to spend the game?"

Gale: "Divided by circumstances, if you can get satisfaction from virtual food in the game, it means that food is part of the game experience provided by the operator. In order to become stronger, sacrificing part of the game experience, will it be a bit of an upside-down? (Squint

Tail: "Oh! Tail thinks so too! (??

Irene: "It's reasonable to say that the eater is the fruiting body of slime mold? Although it looks a bit like a mammal, it should be regarded as a mushroom in biology? It can be eaten, right? But what I don't understand is , Why can’t it be eaten directly, it can be eaten as a nutritional cream. (Funny)”

Fairy King Fugui: "Lao Na, what do you want to do. (Funny

Irene: "Nothing, pure curiosity. (Funny

Curious to curiosity, Lao Na, who was far away in Honghe Town, had no chance to taste it even if she was curious about the taste.

However, there are quite a few young players who are keen to die, and with curiosity they took out a silver coin to buy a pound, and tried it for him.

It's not expensive anyway.

A silver coin can't buy it, and it won't be fooled.

Some small players who are willing to share even published their testimonials on the official website.

In an objective evaluation, the taste of the nutritional cream made with the mutant slime mold is not particularly curious. And because of its low salt and sugar content, it tastes almost tasteless.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't make people difficult to swallow, but what really tortures people is the taste like sand, which is really hard to describe.

After eating, I always feel a bit of sputum in my throat.

Coupled with the green color, it fully suppressed the appetite.

Many players finally have a deep understanding of why some NPCs would rather starve to death than eat this stuff.

This thing is really not for humans!

After publishing the testimonials, the topic on the forum quickly became how to make the nutritional cream less difficult to swallow.

Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "If you can get a wall breaker and beat the particles a little bit finer, it will taste better."

Yaya: "You can add a little more chocolate and sugar! (???)?"

Fujito: "Wait...this will become very expensive, right?"

Fang Chang: "+1, the cart is upside down."

The original feature of nutritional cream is that it is extremely cheap.

People who can eat chocolate can't buy a nutritious cream no matter how they think.

The topic quickly changed from "how to make the nutritional cream less difficult to swallow" to "how to make the nutritional cream less unpalatable at the lowest cost".

At this time, a chemical professional player suddenly appeared.

"How about some saccharin?"

"Sodium phthalimide? Cheap is cheap enough, but it's not good for your health, right."

"There is a safe dosage, it doesn't matter if it's less than 5mg per kilogram of body weight... What else to pick when it's all waste?"

"Boss 666!"

"Is this to bring capitalists?"

"Let's line up first, the street lights are not enough. (Funny

…

While the players were still discussing, Didiwei Food Processing Factory, located in the southernmost part of the industrial zone, was working overtime.

The area of ​​the factory building is not small, about the size of a football field, one of the two warehouses collapsed, and the remaining structure is intact and can be used.

Judging from the broken bricks on the ground, this place should have just been cleaned up, and many places have not had time to clean, but this does not affect production.

Since inspecting the industrial area and long-term farms in the northern suburbs three days ago, Ditwei has immediately attracted a group of small and medium-sized grain merchants in Boulder City, raised a huge amount of 300,000 chips, and purchased a complete set of production equipment for nutritional cream. Together with the old one in his small workshop, the mercenaries were sent to the northern suburbs.

The land rent in the Beijiao Industrial Zone is very cheap. The first two years are rent-free. The only costs are utility fees, management fees and 20% corporate income tax.

Compared to Boulder City, this cost is already very low.

Especially the employment cost here is cheap.

The basic daily salary of an ordinary worker is 10 silver coins, and the actual cost of a month is about 400 silver coins, including meals and so on. If you hire 20 workers, the monthly cost is only 8000 silver coins.

What is the concept of 8000 silver coins?

To be honest, Dittwe did not have an accurate concept.

The exchange rate conversion standard provided by the bank is that one chip can be exchanged for 2 silver coins, but this is definitely not a market exchange rate, otherwise the wages of the workers here are simply ridiculously high, and the basic daily salary can reach 5 chips.

What's more, the banks here only provide the service of converting chips, dinars, and CR into silver coins, and they cannot directly exchange silver coins into chips or other currencies.

If you must use the chips, you need to apply for the company as a unit, write down which equipment you buy, and then you can redeem it after approval.

The control of foreign exchange here is very strict.

But it is not as strict as other small survivor settlements in Qingquan City, such as prohibiting residents from holding chips privately or trading privately with foreign merchants.

Dittwei didn't really care about these things.

Although there is no way to exchange silver coins into chips, you can use silver coins to buy things and then transport them to Boulder City to sell them.

The things produced can also be taken away at will, as long as the tax is paid, they can be exported.

In addition, Vault 404 also provided him with a ready-made factory building and a low-interest loan of 600,000 silver coins to pay for a series of expenses such as labor, water and electricity.

It is equivalent to not spending a penny to set up a factory here!

The equipment and technology are enough!

As for the loss, it doesn't matter. The factories are all limited liability systems. The debts will not be traced back to the individual. At most, the equipment and other assets will be auctioned off.

With such generous conditions, Dittwei was moved to cry!

"...At present, the average daily processing capacity of our plant has reached 100 tons, with a daily production capacity of 10 tons of nutrient paste and 4 tons of organic fertilizer!"

"I assure you that this number will be at least doubled by the end of the month! Or even tripled!"

Walk in the spacious factory.

The red-faced Dittway was enthusiastically introducing the production line he had obtained from Boulder to the adult manager beside him.

I saw workers wearing protective clothing, throwing the carcasses of gnaws, crawlers, and even butchers on the truck into containers made of steel.

Their appearance and what they are doing is completely unreminiscent of producing food, but they seem to be destroying corpses.

The corpses in the container were full. Workers standing on the operating platform used a device like a tower crane to lift the container and moved it directly above the cylindrical metal tank as thick as an oil tank.

As the container tilted, the corpses of alien species fell into the huge metal tank like dumplings.

The round door was sealed, the pressure indicator began to rise, and the whole set of equipment began to work with a roaring sound.

And there are eight tanks of the same size!

After being canned, these corpses undergo processes such as high temperature, drying, inactivation, and extrusion for 24 hours, and then transported by pipeline to the workshop located on the side of the factory, and then through a series of complicated procedures to separate the active ingredients. .

After this series of pretreatments, the thick substance produced is like a tuft of green slime, basically no connection with the mutant slime mold.

Ignore the smell, even a little cute.

"...100 tons is still a little bit less, and there are 20,000 alien species killed every day on the front line. I hope you can handle more than 400 tons by the end of the month."

Looking at the equipment in the factory with interest, Chu Guang asked casually.

"By the way, where's the market? Is the nutrient paste produced easy to sell."

This is the second issue that Chu Guang cares about.

Dittwe smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Don't worry about this. Although these devices are not the most advanced, our cost is cheap enough! In terms of price, we have an absolute advantage to beat our competitors!"

In addition to cheaper production costs, there is another huge advantage to setting up factories here than in Boulder City, that is, convenient transportation.

Although the resources in Qingquan City are abundant, the road conditions are really hard to describe in a word. The one kilometer here is more difficult to walk than the ten kilometers outside the city.

In front of two or three meters long tunnels and four to five meters high cliffs, not to mention wheeled vehicles, even crawler vehicles have to be discouraged.

Therefore, when caravans in Boulder City do business with the surrounding areas, they usually choose two-headed cows or other livestock as their means of transportation.

Some cross-regional caravans will also choose to settle outside the city, and then hire local bullock carts to communicate with the survivor bases in the city.

However, in the northern suburbs, this problem is much easier to solve.

This place itself is a suburb, and it is a wilderness outside the city. The products produced in the factory can be directly loaded onto a truck and towed away.

"...At present, my partners have obtained an order worth 200,000 chips from the farmers in the South. They need a large amount of nutrient cream to feed the slaves and livestock, and our price and supply are beyond their refusal. of!

"The other party even expressed their willingness to pick up the goods. This will be a long-term sale!"

Chu Guang glanced at him unexpectedly.

"Can the nutritional cream be fed to livestock?"

Dittway had a confident smile on his face.

"Of course! The nutrient cream can be eaten by humans, and of course it can be eaten by animals, and this is a very high-quality feed! Some farmers will mix them with green wheat and feed them to two-headed cows. This kind of feed is fed out. The cows will be much stronger than the ones that eat straw and pasture!"

good.

Chu Guang nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the use of nutritional cream is so wide.

Someday even if this food processing plant is poorly managed, it cannot repay the loan, and finally goes bankrupt and liquidated, he doesn't have to worry that he will lose money.

The expression on Dittway's face is the same.

Although he invested a huge sum of 300,000 chips at one time, he didn't feel distressed at all, because the money would be earned back soon.

The electricity price in the industrial zone of Refuge No. 404 is the same as that of Boulder City. Putting all the costs together, the cost per ton of nutritional cream is only 200 to 208 silver coins.

According to the official exchange rate of 1 chip for 2 silver coins, it is equivalent to topping up 100 chips to get a ton of nutritional cream.

In Boulder City, even the Vega firm, the cost of producing a ton of nutritional cream is more than 200 chips!

Under normal circumstances, the retail price of nutritional cream is between 1 and 2 chips per kilogram, while the wholesale price is from one ton, ranging from 300 to 400 chips per ton.

what does this mean?

This means that his cost is only half of Vega's!

The profit is more than three times theirs!

The huge bargaining space allows him to directly hit the ex-factory price below the other party's cost line as he wants!

As for the brand effect?

What kind of brand effect does nutrition cream, which feed animals, do?

The buyer’s only requirement is not to die and to be full. Even if a “extra-large” brand is posted on it, the nutritional cream will not become more popular.

Regardless of what Dittwe calculates, this is a steady and uncompromising transaction.

And this is just the profit of the nutrient paste. The waste left over from the production line can be made into organic fertilizer or sold to the next chemical plant.

Looking at the equipment in front of him, and listening to the rumbling sound, Dittwe felt only a surge of heart.

If it weren't for the manager to stand by, he couldn't help shouting for cheering for the brood desperately giving birth.

"Let the wave come more violently!"

…

In fact, it doesn't matter even if Dutwei shouts out, Chu Guang is not so careful, and will blame him for a few words.

Be rich.

Excitement is normal.

However, no matter how much he earns, it is impossible to earn more than Chu Guang.

More than 70% of the production cost of Didiwei Food Processing Factory, whether it is water, electricity or raw material purchase fees, is directly paid to the shelter.

Not to mention that for every ton of goods produced, a 20% tax must be paid to the shelter before being sold.

Although the wages paid to the workers were not directly paid to the shelter, they would eventually flow back to Chu Guang's hands.

In this circular economic chain, not only has employment been solved and the labor force has been supported, it has also boosted the consumption power of the residents and spawned more demand.

It is no longer possible to figure out how much Chu Guang has won.

In short, I won the hemp!

…

After inspecting the start-up of the food processing plant, Chu Guang did not stay in the industrial zone for too long, but went straight to the front line.

The battle on the front line has become increasingly fierce recently.

In the past week, Chu Guang's focus was basically on logistics.

Now that the plague and the fiscal deficit have been resolved, he can finally focus all his energy on solving the problem of the wave without any worries.

Temporary command post.

Chu Guang summoned the front-line officers and staff officers and held a combat meeting.

The captain of the guard wrench first reported on the battle during this period.

Vanus, who then served as a staff officer, compiled the intelligence and expressed his views.

"...The stalemate has been going on for ten days, the wave's offensive shows no signs of abating, while the front-line ammunition and personnel losses are constantly increasing."

"All signs indicate that our enemy has deployed incubation rooms and even broods on the front line, and the location is in the 65th Street area."

With that said, Vanus drew a red circle on the map with a pen, enclosing the area near the 65th Street Clock Tower.

Although there is no direct evidence that the brood is there, according to the footage captured by the drone, the creepers who infiltrated the player's side positions basically spread from here.

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"In other words, the alien species we've been confronted with recently is not the wave from the city center? They hatched nearby?"

Vanus shook his head.

"It's hard to say, but their delay in launching a full-scale offensive is quite suspicious. It's hard not to remind people of some bad things."

The wrench suddenly said.

"I don't know if it's right to say that, but these alien species always give me a feeling... as if they are preparing something."

After several days of probing, UU reading www.uukanshu.com these aliens are already familiar with the players' defense strategies, but they are still continuously sending the eater.

If it’s not because of insufficient IQ...

Vanus frowned.

"Are they stalling for time?"

The wrench nodded.

"I also believe so."

Chu Guang stared at the map and thought for a long time, then said.

"The frontline position has been stabilized. We have stocked enough ammunition and equipment in the ammunition depot on the edge of the Fifth Ring Line. Now is the best window for counterattack."

While speaking, Chu Guang glanced around at the surrounding officers and staff officers.

"No matter what they are preparing."

"Before they are ready, let us solve this problem once and for all!"
