This Game Is Too Realistic

The tenth day of the wave.

Many players have found that there are some strange NPCs on the battlefield in the past two days.

They wear orange chemical protection suits and black gas masks. They don't talk to people. Usually two people carry a stretcher and move the alien corpses from the battlefield in batches of three or five. They are busy from morning until the sun sets.

These NPCs are very efficient. Two people can move four or five hundred corpses a day. They are experts in this job.

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

Although it is a "fruit suit" without welded steel plates and mounted weapons, it costs 800 silver coins to put it in the NPC store, which is equivalent to four LD-47 rifles.

The players behind the concrete slope shelter looked at the backs of these NPCs curiously and whispered.

"What kind of tricks has the dog planner played again?"

"Adding a profession to chase corpses?"

"It feels good, finally someone is cleaning up these ghosts."

"+1, it stinks!"

"Every pain can be blocked, but it's a pity if the stench can't be blocked!"

It's not easy to clean up the corpses of alien species.

With the imagination of the players, they must have tried all the methods that can be used.

At first, everyone discussed and planned to burn them with fire, but the actual situation was not as optimistic as imagined. Often the surface layer was burned to charcoal, the fire was extinguished, and the corpse buried underneath was still alive.

This game is always weird. It's really not good. One incendiary bottle is enough to kill two or three gnawers. If you want to burn them to ashes, three incendiary bottles are not enough.

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

In addition, things like fat and oil are not so easy to ignite, and often require a lot of fuel to maintain the fire.

If it's hard to understand, you can take a piece of meat from the refrigerator and try it. It takes a while to cook it, let alone burn it to ashes.

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

The main attack of the wave usually lasts from 6pm to 6am the next morning, attacking the players' positions continuously.

Including the crawlers that the hunter team searches and kills in the ruins, each player can kill more than 30 monsters every day.

It shows that the number of these aliens is far more than the initial estimate of 100,000.

After all, the number killed by players is about 20,000 to 30,000 a day, and the wave has been going on for ten days, but there is no sign of weakening.

Fortunately, due to factors such as the width of the battlefield, the huge number of waves cannot be fully exerted. If there are so many aliens on the plain, I am afraid that even if the number of players doubles, they will inevitably be in a difficult battle.

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

A full-power 7mm bullet weighs nearly 25g, and 100,000 rounds is 2.5 tons of ammunition.

In order to collect enough materials for the ammunition production line, Chu Guang could only mobilize the men to dig the tombs of the human alliance while commanding the military factory to open two new ammunition production lines to produce steel core steel shell bullets.

Compared with copper shell ammunition, steel shell ammunition has many problems such as poor ductility, inability to reload, and possible rusting. However, it seems that all the disadvantages can be covered by one advantage - that is, cheapness.

Anyway, the ammunition was quickly sent to the front line for consumption, so it was redundant to consider the issue of preservation. The ammunition produced on the assembly line was not considered for reloading, and the ammunition shells picked up were directly sent to the steel mill for melting.

Starting from the eighth day, the battle situation on the front line entered the consumption stage.

Batches of ammunition were transported to the front line, and batches of corpses were dragged down from the front line. Most of them were from aliens, and a small number were from players.

At first, the corpses were moved by the NPCs, dragged to the suburbs and buried in a pit. Recently, a group of professional NPCs took over these tasks, and the corpses disappeared, and no pits were dug.

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

What about the corpses of alien species?

Where did they go?

However, this curiosity did not last long.

Some careful life professional players soon discovered that at the southernmost end of the industrial zone, after the Bachi Aluminum Factory, another NPC factory was opened, named Didiwei Food Processing Factory.

The main products of this factory are nutritional paste and organic fertilizers, and it also supplies sulfur and apatite to fertilizer factories.

Those trucks coming down from the front line.

Seems like they are all heading there...

...

Official website of "Wasteland OL".

After finding out that there really is a mosquito in the WC of the mainland, I immediately posted a thread on the forum,

"Big news! The whereabouts of the corpse of the gnawer have been found!"

Stop talking nonsense: "Where did it go?"

Macababa: "Hurry up! Don't keep us in suspense!"

Battlefield atmosphere team: "That's it!"

Seeing that it had caused public outrage, Mosquito, who wanted to let the topic ferment for a while before revealing the mystery, did not dare to keep the mystery any longer and quickly typed.

"Didiwei Food Processing Factory! It's at the southernmost part of the industrial zone. I saw it with my own eyes. The trucks dragging the corpses drove straight in!"

Lao Bai: "Pfft...what a name."

Quit Smoking: "What the hell?! I bought one yesterday! (shocked)"

Ye Shi: "Awesome! You didn't even buy it?!"

Quit smoking: "Well, it's mainly because it's cheap. One pound of nutritional ointment only costs 1 silver coin, which can last for two meals. (Embarrassing)"

Fang Chang: "No way. (laughing and crying)"

Ye Shi: "I feel sorry for my brother who quit smoking... This is too frugal. (face covering)"

Sisi: "Hey...have the foodies finally not even let go of the nibblers?"

Tails: "Shocked! Is this the loss of virtue or the 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 places. Don't you plan your expenses when playing games?"

Kuangfeng: "Depending on the situation, if you can get satisfaction from virtual food in the game, then food is part of the game experience provided by the operator. Wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse to sacrifice part of the game experience in order to become stronger? ( squinting)"

Tails: "Oh! Tails thinks so too! (✪ω✪)"

Irena: "To be honest, the nibbler is the fruiting body of slime mold, right? Although it looks a bit like a mammal, it should be considered a mushroom biologically, right? There's nothing wrong with being able to eat it, right? But I don't understand. The question is, why can’t you eat it directly? You can eat it by making it into a nutritional paste (funny).”

Elf King Fugui: "Lao Na, what do you want to do? (Funny)"

Irena: "Nothing, pure Taoqi. (Funny)"

Tuoqi belongs to Tuoqi, and Lao Na from Honghe Town, far away, has no chance to taste it even if it tastes like Tuoqi.

However, there were many young players who were keen on committing suicide. With Min Qi's mood, they took out a silver coin and bought a pound, and gave it a try for him.

It’s not expensive anyway.

One silver coin cannot buy you a loss, and you cannot buy a fool.

Some young players who are willing to share even posted testimonials on the official website.

Objectively speaking, the nutritional paste made from the 㳎 mutant slime mold is not particularly interesting in taste. And because of the low salt and sugar content, it tastes tasteless.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be hard to swallow, but what really tortured people was the sand-like texture, which was really hard to describe.

After eating, I always feel like there is a lump of phlegm stuck in my throat.

Coupled with the green color, it fully suppresses appetite.

Many players finally understood why some NPCs said they would rather starve to death than eat this stuff.

This thing is really not for human consumption!

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

Tomato scrambled eggs: "If you can get a wall-breaking machine and beat the particles a little finer, I think the texture will be a little smoother."

Crow Crow: "You can add a little more gram and sugar! (≖ᴗ≖)✧"

Teng Teng: "Wait...will this become expensive?"

Fang Chang: "+1, putting the cart before the horse."

Originally, the characteristic of nutritional cream is that it is extremely cheap.

People who can afford chocolate would never buy nutritional ointments no matter how much they think about it.

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

At this time, a player majoring in chemical engineering suddenly appeared.

"How about some sweetener?"

"Sodium o-benzoyl sulfonimide? It's cheap enough, but it's not too bad for the body."

"If there is a safe dosage, it doesn't matter if it is less than 5mg per kilogram of body weight... What else can we choose if we are already in the wasteland?"

"Boss 666!"

"Is this bringing in capitalists?"

"Let's get in line first, there are not enough street lights. (Funny)"

…

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

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

Judging from the broken bricks on the ground, this place must have been cleaned up not long ago, and many areas have not had time to be cleaned, so this does not affect production.

Since inspecting the industrial zone and Changjiu Farm in the northern suburbs three days ago, Ditwei 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 nutritional paste production equipment. , together with the old one from his small workshop, hired mercenaries were sent to the northern suburbs.

The land rent in the northern suburbs industrial zone is very cheap. The first two years are rent-free. The only costs are water and electricity bills, management fees and 20% corporate income tax.

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

Especially the cost of living here is cheap.

The basic daily salary of an ordinary worker is 10 silver coins. Taking into account meal expenses, etc., the actual cost per month is only about 400 silver coins. If you hire 20 workers, the monthly cost is only 8,000 silver coins.

What is the concept of 8000 silver coins?

To be honest, Dietwei didn't have an accurate idea.

The exchange rate conversion standard provided by the bank is that one chip can be exchanged for 2 silver coins. This is definitely not the exchange rate. Otherwise, the wages of the workers here are simply ridiculously high. The basic daily salary can be as high as 5 chips.

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

If you must get chips, you need to apply as a company and write down clearly what kind of equipment you want to purchase. You can only redeem it after getting approval.

The controls on foreign exchange here are very strict.

But it is not as strict as other small surviving settlements in Qingquan, for example, residents are prohibited from holding chips privately or trading with outside merchants privately.

Dietwei didn't really care about this.

Although there is no way to exchange silver coins for 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, and they can be exported as long as the duties are paid.

In addition, Vault No. 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, electricity, etc.

It's equivalent to setting up a factory here without spending a penny!

It’s enough to provide equipment and technology!

As for losing money, it doesn't matter. Factories have limited liability systems, and debts will not be traced back to individuals. At most, the equipment and other assets will be auctioned.

With such generous conditions, Ditwe was so moved that he almost cried!

"...At present, the average daily processing capacity of our factory has reached 100 tons, and the daily production capacity is 10 tons of nutritional paste and 4 tons of organic fertilizer!"

"I guarantee you that this number will at least double again before the end of the month! Or even triple it!"

Walking around the spacious factory building.

The red-faced Ditway was enthusiastically introducing the production line he had acquired from Boulder City to the manager beside him.

Workers wearing protective clothing were seen throwing the corpses of gnawing animals, crawling animals, and even butchers from the truck into containers made of steel.

The way they look and what they are doing are not reminiscent of food production at all. Instead, they seem to be destroying corpses and exterminating traces.

The container was filled with corpses. Workers standing on the operating platform operated a tower crane-like device to lift the container and move it directly above the cylindrical metal tank as thick as an oil tank.

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

The circular hatch was sealed, the pressure indicator began to rise, and with a roaring buzzing sound, the entire device began to work.

There are a total of eight similarly thick metal tanks here!

After being canned, these corpses will undergo 24 hours of high temperature, drying, inactivation, extrusion and other processes. Then they will be transported through pipelines to the workshop located on the side of the factory building, and then go through a series of complex procedures to separate out the corpses. Active ingredients.

After this series of pre-processing, the thick substance produced is like a green slime, and it is basically impossible to see any connection with the mutant slime mold.

Ignore the smell, it's even a little cute.

"... One ton is still a little less. At least 20,000 mutants are killed on the front line every day. I hope you can handle more than four tons before the end of the month."

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

"By the way, what about the market? Is the nutritional cream produced easy to sell?"

This is Chu Guang's second concern.

Ditwei smiled slightly and said confidently.

"Don't worry about this. Although these equipment are not the most advanced, our costs are cheap enough! In terms of price, we have an absolute advantage and can beat our competitors!"

In addition to cheaper production costs, setting up a factory here has another huge advantage over setting up a factory in Boulder City, and that is convenient transportation.

Although the resources within Qingquan are abundant, the road conditions are really difficult to describe. One mile here is more difficult to walk than ten miles outside.

In the face of the two to three meter long tunnel and the four meter high cliff, let alone wheeled vehicles, even crawler vehicles are intimidated.

Therefore, when caravans from Boulder City do business with surrounding areas, they usually choose two-headed oxen or other livestock as transportation.

Some cross-regional caravans will also choose to settle outside the city, and then hire local ox carts to communicate with the surviving strongholds in the city.

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

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

"...Currently, my partners have secured an order worth a total of two hundred thousand chips from farmers in the south. They need a large amount of nutritional paste to feed slaves and livestock, and our price and supply are something they cannot refuse. of!

"The other party even expressed his willingness to come and pick up the goods. This will be a long-term deal!"

Chu Guang glanced at him in surprise.

"Can nutritional paste be fed to livestock?"

Ditwe had a confident smile on his face.

"Of course! Nutrient paste can be eaten by humans, of course it can be eaten by animals, and it is quite high-quality feed! Some farmers will mix it with green wheat and feed it to the two-headed cows. This kind of feed is A cow that eats straw and pasture will be much stronger!”

nice.

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

I didn’t expect that nutritional cream has so many uses.

Even if the food processing factory is not operating well, cannot repay the loan, and eventually goes bankrupt and liquidates, he does not have to worry about losing money.

It was the same look on Ditwi's face.

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

The electricity price in the industrial area of ​​Shelter 404 is the same as that in Boulder City. Taking all the costs together, the cost per ton of nutritional paste is only 200~208 silver coins.

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

In Boulder City, even Weijia Trading Company's cost of producing a ton of nutritional cream is more than 200 chips!

Normally, the retail price of nutritional paste is between 1 and 2 chips per kilogram, while the wholesale price starts from one ton, ranging from 300 to 400 chips per ton.

What does this mean?

This means that his success is only half of that of Weijia Trading Company!

The profit is more than three times theirs!

The huge bargaining space allows him to set the ex-factory price directly below the other party's production line at will!

As for brand effect?

What kind of branding is needed for a nutritional paste that is fed to livestock?

The only requirements for purchasing it are that you can eat it to death and be full. Even if you put a "extra large quantity" sign on it, it won't make the nutritional cream more popular.

No matter how Ditwei calculated it, this was a sure-fire deal.

And this is just the profit from the nutritional paste. The remaining waste from the production line can also be made into organic fertilizer or sold to the chemical factory next door.

Looking at the equipment that was constantly running in front of him and listening to the rumbling sound, Ditwe felt a surge of heart.

If the manager hadn't been standing nearby, he wouldn't have been able to help but shout cheers for the mother's nest that was desperately trying to give birth to its young.

"Let the wave come harder!"

…

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

Got rich.

It's normal to get excited.

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

More than 70% of the production costs of Didiwe Food Processing Factory, whether it is water, electricity or raw material procurement fees, are paid directly to the shelter.

Not to mention that for every ton of goods produced, a 20% tax is paid to the shelter before sale.

And the wages paid to the workers, although not paid directly to the shelter, will eventually flow into the hands of Chu Guang.

In this circular economic chain, it not only solves the problem of employment and supports the labor force, but also boosts residents' consumption power and generates more demand.

It’s hard to calculate how much Chu Guang won.

All in all, it’s a win!

…

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

The fighting on the frontline has become increasingly fierce recently.

In the past week, Chu Guang's work focus has been basically on the logistics side.

Now that the problems of the plague and the fiscal deficit have been solved, he can finally focus all his energy on solving the problem of the wave with no worries.

Temporary command post.

Chu Guang summoned the frontline officers and staff and held a combat meeting.

Guard Captain Wrench first reported on the battle situation during this period.

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

"...The stalemate has lasted for ten days. The wave's offensive shows no signs of weakening, while the loss of frontline ammunition and personnel is constantly increasing."

"There are various indications that our enemies have deployed incubators and even brood nests on the front line, and the location is in the area of ​​65th Street."

As he spoke, Vanus drew a red circle on the map with a pen, enclosing the area near the clock tower on 65th Street.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the mother nest is there, according to the footage captured by the drone, the crawlers that penetrate the player's side positions basically spread from here.

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"In other words, the alien species we faced recently were not the wave that came from the center? But they were 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 think of something bad."

Wrench suddenly spoke.

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

After several days of testing, these alien species have become familiar with the players' defense strategies, but they still continue to send in predators.

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

Vanus frowned.

"Are they stalling for time?"

Wrench nodded.

"I think so too."

Chu Guang stared at the map and thought for a long time before speaking.

"The frontline position has been stabilized, and our ammunition depot on the edge of the ring line has accumulated enough ammunition and equipment. Now is the best window period for counterattack."

As he spoke, Chu Guang glanced at the officers and staff around him.

"Whatever they're preparing for."

"Let's get rid of this problem once and for all before they're ready!"
