This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 336 Utopia Hidden in the Tunnel (1/2)

It took about 10 minutes for Lu Beiyan Chu Guang to report on the day's work.

"...Under the leadership of the gatekeeper Tris, we entered Camp 101 and were received by local survivors."

"It was a camp hidden deep in a subway tunnel. There were about two to three hundred people living there. The local survivors lived in square barracks. There were greenhouse plantations, generators and purified water around the camp. There is also a biogas digester.”

"The situation there is completely different from Hope Town. They are completely self-sufficient in materials and use scientific methods to take care of everything in an orderly manner."

"That Tris took me to visit their greenhouse plantation. There are many hydroponic boxes there, which grow rice, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers... and carbon sequestration devices or something. They combine part of the carbon dioxide. Starch and glucose balance the carbon dioxide content in the air.”

"General, the situation there is quite surprising. The locals call themselves 'sheltered people', but they are not residents of the shelter. They are wastelanders who are helped by the residents of the shelter."

"The gate of Shelter 101 is at the deepest part of the camp. The residents of the shelter have taught them knowledge. Their task is to report the situation outside to the residents of the shelter."

"According to what they said, their camp was originally located on the surface. Later, in order to escape the war, the residents of the shelter lent them the material transfer area at the door, and then the current camp was established."

"While talking to them, I could feel that they had a deep affection for the residents of the shelter. Vault 101 was like a holy place to them, and the residents who lived there treated them more like teacher."

After listening to Lu Bei's report, Chu Guang looked at the notes he jotted down in his hand and thought for a long time before nodding thoughtfully.

"...That's it."

He probably understood.

To put it simply, Camp 101 is equivalent to the "spokesperson" supported by Shelter 101 on the surface.

These spokespersons were enlightened by the residents of the shelter and acquired knowledge that was not available in the wasteland, and even some production methods and tools from the pre-war era.

While enjoying the convenience brought by the fruits of pre-war civilization, they also shoulder the responsibility of "looking after the gate" of the shelter.

I have to say this is a smart move.

As far as Chu Guang has encountered shelters, whether it is No. 117 or No. 401, they have all been defeated by the reserve and arrogance of civilized people.

In contrast, the Blue Jackets in Vault 101 adopted a more cautious strategy - selecting worthy people for training, enlightening the ignorant wastelanders, teaching them to use tableware and books, and allowing them to learn Mathematics and physics look at the world from a rational perspective.

This not only ensures their education rate and professional skills, but also ensures that they have a world view, values, and ideology close to their own.

In this way, the residents of Vault 101 only need to pay a minimal cost to collect the intelligence and resources they need, and they also avoid the trouble that may be caused by contact with local survivors.

Camp 101 is where they sow the seeds on the surface, and it is also a buffer zone between them and the wasteland.

If they fail, they can retreat underground at any time, adjust the time 20, 50 or even 100 years and start over again.

Once successful, this seed will grow into a towering tree, establishing a stable and enlightened society in the wasteland...

Their historical mission can be considered completed.

"...I have not met the residents of Shelter 101," Lu Bei said carefully, putting this sentence at the end, "The elders of Camp 101 told me that before confirming that the world outside the door is safe, They would not advise the residents of the shelter to open the door. Even if I tried to explain to them...we had driven away the predators, they just didn't believe me."

"Later, at my insistence, they took me to the gate of Shelter 101. The residents there did not listen to my explanation at all and asked me to communicate with the people in Camp 101."

When he said "here", Lu Bei felt depressed.

He felt like he had caught the ball and was being kicked around by people on both sides.

These people are so ungrateful!

Hearing [the young man] complain, Chu Guang immediately guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile.

"They're not worried about predators, they're worried about us."

Lu Bei was stunned for a moment.

"Worried about...us? But why should they worry about us?"

Chu Guang said patiently.

"Predators can also wear blue coats, and can even bring our VM with them. The vital signs monitor itself is not a particularly advanced thing, nor is it patented by the shelter."

"In the first contact, they can only use their senses to judge whether we have good intentions, but in the end they still need to use their eyes to confirm whether what we claim is consistent with what we are doing."

"The world is not black and white. Driving away predators may not necessarily mean you are a righteous partner. It may be another group of predators. It is reasonable for them to be vigilant."

"So, before you set off, I repeatedly warned you to be cautious before expressing our intentions. Don't rush the other party to make a decision. Give the other party a little more patience. If they are hesitant, you can suggest that the other party come to us. have a look."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Bei pondered for a while and said thoughtfully.

"I understand, so we should invite them to send some representatives to take a look at our settlement."

Children can be taught.

Satisfied to see this young man enlightened, Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"Invite a few more people over. Remember this is not a request, but an invitation. We need electrical engineers here, as well as water conservancy engineers."

"You can even tell them that I plan to build a dam on the west and southwest sides of the Fourth New District, so that the overflowing lake water can be diverted north to join the Tianshui tributary and irrigate the nearby land... This will be a long-term project, we need They help."

Painting is also part of the art of management, and the new alliance needs to find common interests with local survivors.

Although water conservancy is not the first priority in the construction of Dawn City, as the settlement area expands, this matter will be done sooner or later.

Lu Bei said excitedly.

"I see!"

Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Go ahead if you understand."

Chu Guang is very satisfied with this diligent and loyal young man, and is also deliberately cultivating him.

For example, this task was given to him because it had the meaning of cultivation.

As for ability and origin, these have never been issues. Chu Guang doesn't believe in the theory of blood at all.

Once a person is in that position, he will naturally gain strength.

The core members of the new alliance who really carry the aura are actually Yin Fang, Heya, and old Charlie. Most of the others were born in the wasteland.

Like Luca, he was just a farming serf at the beginning, and he didn't know much about logistics management, but now he can still leave his work to him and take care of it in an orderly manner.

There was also Shuyu who was sent to Boulder City by Chu Guang, but he was just a refugee at first.

In fact, the same goes for Chu Guang himself. In the Alpha0.1 version, he didn't even have a dog at the beginning, and he was almost eaten by a dog. Now he has everything.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Guang was too lazy to go out for dinner. He then dug out a box of canned braised pork from his luggage and started browsing the forum on VM while eating steamed buns for dinner.

Today, the official website is as lively as ever.

What a coincidence was that while he was eating dinner, his little players were also eating.

But due to the time difference, they had breakfast.

Tails: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,, unto me... ya, I've obviously eaten Tai in the game, why do you have to eat it again in real life! QAQ"

Sisi: "Isn't this natural love..."

Tails: "I'm so angry! Why don't you develop a training cabin that you can lie down in and don't have to worry about anything! It's so troublesome to eat, brush your teeth, shower and go to the toilet! (ノ`Д)ノ"

Si Si: "Uh, you mean the kind of intubation... I'd better forget it."

Tail:"?"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "That's it, even if there is that kind of training cabin, the anti-addiction system cannot be allowed to be online 24 hours a day. (˘•ω•˘)"

Roshan Big Momo: "Aha...hahaha..."

"..."

This addiction is too big.

Looking at the discussion in the post, Chu Guang was dumbfounded and didn't know how to complain.

He has no control over the form, field, and equipment. There may be a training cabin... but it doesn't matter whether it is there or not. The helmet is enough. If you wake up after peeing, you can just go to the toilet. Find someone else. Lying down and logging off in an awkward place is a basic thing for players.

Although the training cabin allows players to focus more on the game world, he still hopes that other young players can eat well and live well in reality.

Even if it is the world's only fully immersive virtual reality game, it can't stand still.

After closing the post, Chu Guang continued to browse the forum.

The topics that most players are paying attention to tonight are the expansion pack settlement and lottery prize pool tonight, and some players are focusing their attention on Xizhou, a new map that has just been unlocked.

For example, Brother Fang.

Just like when he went to Boulder City, after arriving at Camp 101, Fang Chang immediately conducted a detailed investigation of the situation there and updated the summarized information on the official website without reservation.

"Shocked!" A high-tech town hidden in a tunnel! Camp 101’s experience! 》

Seeing this line of title, Chu Guang immediately clicked on it.

It's shameful to say that as a game planner, he was the last person to know the relevant information about the new map.

Unlike other games, it is always the dog mastermind who reveals inside information to powerful players.

Like Lu Bei, Fang Chang first gave a detailed explanation of the background of Camp 101 based on the translation and his own understanding.

However, unlike Lu Bei, Fang Chang was speaking from the perspective of the player. Not only was his narrative style different, but his focus was also different.

"...The technical level of Camp 101 is very high. In terms of setting, they are a group of wastelanders who have received shelter education. They have the characteristics of both blue jackets and wastelanders. I even suspect that they themselves are blue jackets and wastelanders. A native of mixed race.”

"According to their own statement, the residents of Vault 101 will only send a few people out of the door when needed. Sometimes it is to collect resources, sometimes it is to collect samples from the wasteland, or to collect data. But they usually don’t stay for long.”

"They have no currency, and they don't even have the concept of property. They use various points to determine a person's living standard based on the type of occupation and contribution to the position."

"For example, ordinary employees can enjoy standard unit living rations, and technical employees can enjoy certain consumer goods on the basis of standard unit living rations. In addition, there will be regular KPI assessments to determine additional rations.㱕ratio…”

"Of course, the above is all information I summarized based on plot dialogue, and may not be accurate. Compared to Hope Town, this place is more like a paradise formed by a group of 'lucky few'."

"There are a lot of special technologies here. They can make drones very small and turn carbon dioxide into food. It is not clear how they do it, but one thing is for sure. Since there is no currency, I’m afraid Camp 101 won’t be able to trade as freely as in Boulder City.”

"But this does not mean that they do not have trading needs, such as energy, food and fresh water, which are very precious locally. Although we also need these things, we can exchange part of our surplus with them."

"I speculate that the transaction with Camp 101 may be carried out in a more official form. For example, professional players who run factories can hire highly educated engineers from Camp 101 to produce new alliance products on a large scale, which has not been done before.㱕products. For another example, maybe they will open a new 㱕NPC store here and exchange resources with us for high-tech products.”

Mole on the run in the canyon: "So that means Camp 101 is not a map for players?"

Fang Chang: "It can be said that if this map doesn't even have a store."

Night 10: "Brother Fang expressed his disappointment. There are no bars here. (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "Ganggun, when the hell did I go to a bar like that?"

Makabazi: "Hahahaha! It's exposed, brother!"

Teng Teng: "You people are so dirty. |・ω・`)"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "What about the mission? Don't interrupt! Are there any missions in the new map?"

Fang Chang: "I didn't see it, the VM signal here is very poor...and it's usually impossible to trigger a mission on a newly unlocked map, right?"

Kuangfeng: "But one thing to say is that the culture and culture here are really extraordinary. They even have their own school. I took a curious look and they actually teach advanced mathematics."

Garbage Picking Level 99: "What the hell?! There's even a university?"

Ye Shi: "Pfft, you're too boring."

Bangfeng: "No, I'm just curious... What's more surprising to me is that the students in the class are all relatively young. Generally, unless they are special talents, we don't recommend early exposure to too professional content."

Crow Crow: "You're too young...how young is that? 0.0"

Bangfeng: "She looks about 12 years old."

Ye Shi: "What the hell!?"

Thunder Dharma King Professor Yang: “Awesome!”

Lao Bai: "Twelve years old...I forgot whether I was in the first grade of junior high school or a junior high school student at that time. (Laughing and crying)"

Irena: "I studied advanced mathematics at the age of 12. What should I study at the age of 16? Building rockets? (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: “If I give them advanced math homework, it’s not like I’m using the developer’s computing power for free. (Funny)”

Ye Shi: "Hello SAO. (Funny)"

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and asked: "6666! @Ward's athlete's foot, who is Levin, hahaha, the paper is in place!"

A group of science and technology players are experts.

Some players from the Mathematics Department said that there is no need to let the middlemen make the difference, and they can directly post their assignments on the forum. One silver coin per question, the price is fair, and no one can be bullied.

After they save enough silver coins, they plan to pass the topic on to the game and let NPC "write it" directly.

After scrolling to the bottom of the post, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh. These little players are really talented. They can think of such operations as asking NPCs to help write homework and discuss topics.

Look at your little potential, you are so reserved in your dreams.

If there is such an awesome game, why would you write a paper for it? Wouldn’t it be nice to just copy the solid-state hydrogen technology back?

However, it can be seen that the governments of various countries have not disclosed the "true identity" of the operator of "Wasteland OL", and even deliberately concealed relevant clues.

After all, the announcement of such unbelievable things as "extraterrestrial intelligence" has no benefit except causing unnecessary panic. On the contrary, it may stimulate an unknown existence.

However, the cautious attitude of official agencies in various countries has helped Chu Guang a lot.

Even if there are always people on the forum telling "ghost stories" that are extremely scary if you think about it, such as "Wasteland OL" is actually a real world, everyone will just laugh when they hear it and don't take it seriously at all.

What about the double-slit interference experiment and measuring the gravitational constant? These are experiments that can be done by anyone. They are too childish. Experiments that are slightly more complicated are, at best, unpopular.

Not to mention that "Wasteland OL" stated in its "announcement" that this game is based on the dream system and is constructed by the player's subconscious and cognition.

Everything the player sees in the game is because the player subconsciously thinks that he can see it.

Logically speaking, people in the box can imagine the world outside the box at will, but it is impossible to use the rules of the box to prove the existence of the world outside the box.

The only way to prove that the world outside the box exists is to open the box.

Of course Chu Guang would not do this.

Whether it is first-hand truth or second-hand truth, knowing too much is not a good thing.

But when circumstances permit, he will try to reveal second-hand truths and use a relatively mild method to help other players gain more benefits in reality.

There's more to it than just money and accolades.

It could even be status.

After flipping through the post from the beginning, Chu Guang made a judgment after thinking about it for a while.

"... Fang Chang's suggestion has some validity. The situation in Camp 101 will be closer to a micro-utopia, and instead of starting the exchange, it should be carried out in a more official form."

“But it’s not just about introducing technology, we also need to introduce as many educational talents as possible.”

Based on the "investigation reports" of Lu Bei and Fang Chang, the alliance's investigation of Camp 101 has been completed.

The only thing that confused Chu Guanggan was how this "little beautiful" utopia existed in the wasteland.

But this is not the point.

The point is that there are a lot of technologies out there that are worth introducing, and this is exactly what the alliance needs.

Chu Guang said as his index finger passed across the VM screen.

"Xiaoqi, sort out the clues in the memo for me and update the information about Camp 101 in the official website database."

"Okay, Master!" Xiaoqi's enthusiastic reply came to his ears.

Chu Guang nodded and looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost 8 o'clock, he continued.

"By the way, there is still settlement for the expansion pack. Have you finished it there?"

"Well……"

The energetic voice suddenly became a little subtle.

"Xiao Qi has finished...but Master, are you sure this is really okay?"

Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

"What's the meaning……"

Xiaoqi didn't answer and silently sent over the settlement form.

Looking at the eye-catching numbers on the form, Chu Guang almost choked on his own spit.

"One hundred million?! Are you sure you didn't count an extra 0?!"

Xiaoqi said aggrievedly.

"How is it possible... Master, the reward settlements for the previous battles also included points. This war has lasted for so long, and the average player score has almost increased to 40,000..."

Chu Guang said anxiously.

"That's just..."

Just in the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped talking.

This battle has been going on for two months, and there are many players falling into the trap every day. The number of players is no longer the original 1,600.

The number of server players is now close to 3,000.

Not only the front-line players can get points, but also the players in the rear who are engaged in production and production also have points.

A line of text popped up on the screen.

【QAQ】

Chu Guang: "..."

Xiao Qi whispered: "How about... diluting the reward pool?"

According to past practice, the value of each point is 0.05 silver coins.

100 points will be drawn once. Some people can get an exoskeleton worth 2,000 silver coins, while others can only get a discount coupon or a lollipop.

If the total number of points is 100 million, and you want to ensure the explosion rate, the total amount of the reward pool must be 5 million silver coins.

Below this number, the explosion rate will be diluted.

Chu Guang's original expectation was that after the expansion pack ended, the total points distributed should be around 20 million, and the reward pool could have been controlled at 1 million silver coins.

Without thinking, it doubled directly.

"I was negligent...it was too expensive to win this battle." Chu Guang looked dumbfounded. He opened the system interface and took a look at the points he had saved.

Since the end of the last wave [now, apart from occasionally drawing beginner and intermediate blind boxes, most of the points he has kept are useless] [now he has only saved about 1,500 points.

15 advanced blind boxes…

I originally wanted to save 20 coins to draw 㱕 together, but now it seems I can’t save them.

Hope something good comes out.

Otherwise, he will have to find a way to eat leeks again...

At the same time, in the management center of Camp No. 101, the air purifier made a soft whine.

The gray-haired old man sat on a chair, his eyes slightly closed and lost in thought, as if he was asleep.

His name is Horn, and he is the mayor of Camp No. 101. He is responsible for all matters in the camp and the appointment of various affairs officers.

Half an hour ago, the alliance sent an invitation to visit the settlement on their behalf.

Camp 101 does not have an officer specifically responsible for foreign affairs. They had previously encountered the largest force, the Bone Chewing Tribe.

Like "Good Weather Cooperation" and "Happy Home", there is no need to deliberately contact each other in survivor areas with dozens of people and a few individuals.

The tradition of Camp 101 is to have experts responsible for specialized issues. However, what troubled Horn was that he had no idea who he should discuss this issue with, so he could only call all the affairs officers over.

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked around at the many affairs officers present.

"What do you think?"

Seeing the mayor looking at him, the education affairs officer hesitated for a moment and answered with an uncertain tone.

"He's a polite kid."

This sentence has been recognized by many people.

Although the four bodyguards were a little curious and even accidentally broke into their class, the representative Lu Bei was indeed polite.

This is also what confuses them the most.

Those who most resembled the residents of the shelter were behaving contrary to their common sense.

Horn sighed softly.

"I'm not asking about your evaluation of that child, I'm asking about what you think of the alliance."

The security officer thought for a moment and said.

"They were so powerful that they ended the war in just two months."

When the war was going on outside, Camp 101 was not unaware, they had been secretly peeking at the screen.

This includes the use of cameras installed on the ground and drones launched over short distances.

The alliance's weapons cannot be said to have high technical content, but the quantity is sufficient.

Overwhelming firepower and continuous air strikes helped them win the war.

If you ask him to evaluate, he has only one opinion.

This survivor is powerful!

The industrial affairs officer whispered: "...But they used a child. That child should be a soldier."

Education Affairs Officer: "Most of the survivors outside are like this. After all, their average life expectancy is only 35 years old. We cannot ask them to be like us and wait until they are 40 years old before taking up key positions."

Tepes, who was standing aside, suddenly said: "Maybe the other party just sent a young man here to express goodwill."

Although he is not an affairs officer, as a "gatekeeper", his status in Camp 101 is not low.

That Lu Bei gave him a good first impression.

Most of the awakened people in the wasteland would like to shoot their noses into the sky, but that boy was rarely polite.

The other party did not send an aggressive representative to show their hegemony, which at least shows that they have the intention of getting along with each other in a friendly way.

This sentence was recognized by many people present.

"I think we should go to where they live, not just in Dawn City, but also in their capital...the place called Dawn City."

"Indeed, it's best to meet their managers. Shelters and shelters are different..."

Horn thought for a long time and said.

"I think so too. We can't be isolated from the world forever, let alone hide underground forever... What's more, they have expanded their territory to the doorstep of our home."

Everyone was whispering quietly.

At this time, the education affairs officer spoke.

"But the question is...who to send?"

Horn thought for a moment and said slowly.

"They sent a child over, let's send a child over too."

The security officer hesitated: "Is this... too dangerous?"

"Of course it's impossible to send just one person to do this kind of thing. Industry, economy, population... We have too little information, and there are too many things that need to be investigated."

The property affairs officer nodded.

"My suggestion is also that we should send at least two or three experts."

The security officer frowned.

"But what about the security issue? There are more dangers out there than just predators... Don't forget how much we paid to collect samples from the nearby forest."

There are not enough manpower...

With his index finger gently pressing between his eyebrows, Horn leaned back on the chair and thought for a long time before making a decision.

"I will ask my lord to apply and arrange a bodyguard for him."
