This Game Is Too Realistic

[Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, our operations at Qingquan Center have reached a stalemate. The soldiers fought bravely and our enemies suffered heavy losses. But unfortunately, we still have not been able to get close to the mother nest until now. 】

[Although the wandering tank has excellent maneuverability and reliable armor, it needs to be overhauled every time it is deployed. The parts that need to be replaced are simply not found here. 】

[Especially our equipment has no advantage when faced with the siege of slime mold fruiting bodies. They fell in pieces, and then rushed up in groups... It was like a wave.㱗Before we kill them all, I'm afraid we ourselves will be overwhelmed by the overwhelmed logistics. 】

[The most worrying thing is those "evolved bodies"... This is the name given by the technician who followed us into the center. We found that some slime mold fruiting bodies have undergone secondary mutations based on mutations, and have even begun to imitate us, evolving structures similar to power armor and exoskeletons, and even eroding our drones and tanks. 】

[This is not my nonsense, I know it sounds weird, but if we continue to treat them as beasts fighting with teeth and claws, or biochemical weapons delivered to the battlefield by the enemy, we may pay a heavy price. The price... In fact, our casualties have been heavy enough. 】

[Compared to advanced weapons, we need equipment that is easy to maintain and sufficient in quantity. It is not like now, using precious equipment and manpower to fill a front that cannot be filled at all. 】

[Finally, some good news. The outer wall of the Boulder Building has been completed. The brothers in the production department are as reliable as ever. This magnificent project can at least shelter 100,000 people through the most difficult winter. The refugees in the south do not need to continue migrating north. They can be resettled in the western suburbs of Qingquan. At least our first phase goal has been completed. After we take a short rest, we will immediately start the second phase of the operation. 】

[I heard that the technical department is looking for ways to solve the slime mold at the basic level. 】

[I have an idea here. Why not use those in the library to "produce" a group of super soldiers who are not afraid of death? 】

[Even if they can't be used on the battlefield, they can at least help us move some things. Those androids and robots are too troublesome to maintain. We may have to configure an additional maintenance company. 】

[——Telegram from the Front (3), 2150㹓, March 21. 】

Aboard the Heart of Steel.

Chu Guang, who was resting in the captain's cabin, was browsing the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" through the holographic computer.

This information was collected by the players of the Death Corps and synchronized to the server of the shelter with the help of the mission's communication radio.

Looking at the players taking photos and uploading the information to the official website, he touched his chin thoughtfully and leaned back in his chair.

"2150 㹓...should be the 21st 㹓 of Wasteland Era."

He is very sensitive to numbers and remembers clearly that the number in Wasteland is 2129.

"But to conquer the Qingquan Center in March... this is too much to think about."

Spring is the wave outbreak period. At this time, the mutant slime mold's reproduction rate will reach its highest peak, and the spore density in the air will also reach its peak.

Of course, this is looking at the issue from a later perspective.

Perhaps the survivors at the time were not aware of the concept of waves. As this telegram indicates, the postwar reconstruction committee underestimated the threat of those mutant slime molds.

And...

Is it supposed to be nuclear winter then?

But these are not the point.

What made Chu Guang even more satisfied was the last part of the telegram.

"...A group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, are you referring to the Weirant people?"

Seeing this sentence, Chu Guang was puzzled.

Those big-nosed people don’t think that they are so unafraid of death...

Maybe it was because the average number of players had awakened, or maybe it was because his attribute panel was outrageous enough. Anyway, he didn't think those big noses were very powerful in combat.

Maybe it's stronger than ordinary people.

"Xiaoqi."

An energetic voice soon came to my ears, and it was the voice of a royal sister that was rare today.

"Where is he, Master."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang spoke.

"...Retrieve all the information collected by the players of the Death Corps, not just the Wilantes. I need all the information about the legion, the enterprise, and the academy."

"Okay!"

Hearing the enthusiastic answer, Chu Guang waited for a moment. In less than a minute, Xiao Qi quickly completed the search for all the pictures.

Whether it is uploaded by players or saved in personal albums.

All the information has been organized into a text document by category, and a table of contents has been created for his convenience.

Although most of the players collected were fragmentary clues, they accidentally pieced together a lot of incredible information.

Just as he guessed.

The Vaillants are indeed a race created through genetic modification technology.

Although this project was initially opposed by the committee's technical department, the continued heavy casualties on the front line and the large number of handling operations forced the committee's defense department to put pressure on the technical department.

In 2150, in the 21st chapter of the Wasteland Chronicles, taking the heavy casualties of the "Qingquan Action" as an opportunity, the super soldier project called "The Velant Man Project" was finally approved despite countless pressures from all parties. .

The name of the Defense Department of the Council, the predecessor of the Legion, is inextricably linked to the chaos of a century and a half ago.

Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity. He followed the clues compiled by Xiao Qi and continued reading.

The 23 pairs of chromosomes of the Vaillant people were completely designed by genetic modification technology, and the material was extracted from an incomplete genome library called "Vailant".

The first thousand basic monsters born did indeed have extraordinary fighting power.

While retaining their humanity, they possess fighting instincts close to those of beasts. Even without systematic training, they can still defeat more than five well-trained veterans in combat.

However, this is where it becomes useless.

Even on the battlefield after the Age of Prosperity, there are still not many opportunities for unarmed combat.

Their strong bodies make them more suitable for participating in dangerous missions with the highest casualty rate. Although their super reflexes and motor abilities allow them to kill enemies more efficiently, their number is too small.

These super soldiers ultimately failed to play a big role on the battlefield, which also led to their further political marginalization.

㱗After several battles against mutant slime mold, the Valantians were individually organized into a rapid response brigade, led by a light commander named Julius, making the logistics requirements relatively low. cheap equipment to support the regular army's battles.

The life of Julius is also full of legends. He was almost born at the same time as the "Vilante Project", and because his father was a senior officer of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division of the People's Federation, he has been with us since his memory. He received military education.

As an "old human", he almost grew up with those "Humans". After fifteen years, he followed those Humans as a commander on the battlefield against mutant slime mold.

Chu Guang's search function searched for the name "Julius" and found that in documents with less than 500,000 words, this seemingly ordinary name unexpectedly appeared several times in the text.

"... Speaking of which, the commander of the legion seems to have the same name." Chu Guang vaguely remembered hearing Vanus mention the name of their commander.

However, on the West Coast, few people will call that person by his first name, and they usually use the title "㳎㨾shuai" instead.

"If the commander of the legion is the same person as Julius in the literature, then this guy must have lived for at least one hundred and fifty years!"

Chu Guang smacked his tongue in slight surprise, unable to imagine what it felt like.

In "Stars", an officer who lived for a hundred and fifty years could reach full level even if he was thrown into the "Patrol Fleet" and lived as a pirate.

His index finger continued to slide on the holographic screen, and he quickly turned down a page.

Skipping the lengthy description, time quickly came to Wasteland 㨾41㹓.

The committee's efforts to eradicate slime mold have been very difficult, and the endless cold winter has made the problems of resource scarcity and low productivity even more serious.

Some climatologists even expressed despair that the planet may not be transforming into a "waste planet" but a "polar planet" with a more fragile ecosystem. One-third of the land will eventually be destroyed. Buried under 240 meters of ice.

That war probably set the world back eighteen thousand 㹓.

But even so, ridding the planet of slime mold remains the top priority. Various research evidence shows that this "simple" organism is more cold-resistant than other carbon-based organisms on the planet.

If this trouble cannot be solved before the situation worsens, the trouble to come will exceed everyone's expectations.

So far, the survivors have not discovered the "self-limiting" nature of slime mold, but are simply afraid of monsters that cannot be cleared away even if they throw nuclear bombs.

If the survivors at that time knew that as long as they abandoned the metropolitan areas of the People's Federation era and retreated to the suburbs with lower building density, they would enter a period of decline after the slime mold expanded to a certain extent, and I'm afraid there wouldn't be so much trouble. It’s a shame.

Of course, this is considered from a later perspective. Many research results on slime molds were discovered during the war against slime molds.

In short, in order to reduce the loss of manpower, the Defense Department of the Committee put forward further requirements based on the "Vailant Plan" - they need a method that "can be mass-produced quickly and can also play a role on the battlefield." of clone troopers.

They are not very powerful, and they do not even have to have normal human minds, but they must complete the cycle from the assembly line to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

Compared with the defense department of Wasteland 21, the defense department of 41 has obviously gradually moved to the extreme.

The Post-War Reconstruction Committee held a meeting to discuss relevant legislation. The three major departments of production, defense, and technology all participated in this debate.

This meeting was recorded in the literature as the "Tripartite Meeting."

This was also the second major disagreement the Post-War Reconstruction Committee had encountered since its establishment.

The conflicts that had accumulated for a long time had reached their peak before the meeting began, and the open debate meeting was more like a vent.

The defense department, which continues to suffer casualties, requires the production and technical departments to provide a "clone soldier that can play an adequate role on the battlefield" to replace the casualties of the People's Alliance soldiers.

From the standpoint of the Ministry of Defense, this is a completely reasonable request.

After all, their soldiers are not only responsible for maintaining security and order in the settlements, but are also responsible for protecting the technical department's prospectors from entering the ruins to collect the technology of the pre-war civilization.

The war has ended for 41 years, but their war has never ended. According to twenty-one generations, their sacrifices have even spanned two generations and affected at least four generations.

The technical department still expresses strong opposition as it did twenty years ago, claiming that this will not only bring technical risks such as "DNA contamination", but may also lead to the collapse of civilization.

This concern is not without reason.

The Wilantes, who were cultivated through basic technology and did not have basic political rights, had become de facto "slave soldiers." The reverse of history had even reached the slave society of the feudal period, which was older than the prosperity era.

This line of thinking was wrong from the beginning, and they clearly had better options.

Such as robots and AI.

However, this proposal was opposed by the production department.

Without the support of a complete industrial chain, the cost of producing a sufficiently reliable robot is not a matter of several times or dozens of times, but a geometric increase.

The expensive production costs and maintenance costs are not affordable by today's "Post-War Reconstruction Committee".

Unless the expenditure on each surviving settlement is completely cut off, the surviving settlements, including those in Boulder City, are allowed to fend for themselves.

Even so, the costs that can be saved are far from meeting the defense department's demand for manpower.

What's more, cutting the budgets of each surviving settlement means that the post-war reconstruction committee will lose a huge manpower pool, which is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

In order to appease the Ministry of Technology and the Ministry of Defense, the Production Ministry made many compromise suggestions.

For example, the Weirant people can be given limited political rights, such as liberalizing reproductive rights, etc., and some Weirant people can be appropriately admitted into the big family of the People's Federation, as long as they can achieve outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

As for clones with higher yields, there is no need to limit their lives to the profession of cannon fodder. They can be allowed to freely enter factories or farmland to work from resource production.

This kind of high-quality labor force is not only needed by the defense sector, but also by the production sector.

This meeting did not reach any conclusion in the end, but instead laid hidden dangers for the collapse of the post-war reconstruction committee.

At the end of the tripartite meeting, No. 2171, which is the 42nd day of the Wasteland Era, the college exploration team used the West Coast Recycling and the Vaillant Laboratory to ignite the fuse of the gunpowder barrel.

There is preserved the complete base library of the Weilant people, as well as the "singularity" technology that was not completed before the end of the Prosperity Era - the life cycle adjustable technology.

Under the leadership of General Julius, the Quick Response Brigade formed by the Valantians occupied the laboratory and detained all the explorers of the Technology Department's exploration team.

In the face of strong protests and negotiations from the technical department, the Ministry of Defense only claimed that it was Julius's personal actions, and was extremely passive in arresting this "out-of-control senior officer", and even "accidentally" allowed him to be occupied. The laboratory sent nuclear fusion batteries.

It is obvious that they are trying to complete this research, or in other words, use some of the sub-technology in this research to create a clone army that can grow "eight times faster."

Objectively speaking, the people from the Ministry of Defense have shown considerable restraint. After all, they could rob directly, but they still made up a lame excuse to show off.

The committee's control over various departments has declined to its lowest point, while the conflict between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Technology has reached its peak.

Chapter 2172, Wasteland Era 43, after several "unexpected" accidents, the Technology Department completely lost trust in the Defense Department.

Under the leadership of Dr. "Conclusion", the then Minister of Technology and Dean of the College, the Technology Department transferred a large number of core technical personnel to the northern swamps in the name of exploring large-scale ruins, and under the framework of the pre-war academic organization "Academy", prepared to establish its own㱕Armed Exploration Force.

The Ministry of Defense is indifferent to this. Their focus has shifted to the west of the desert, and the Triumph City and most military facilities on the west coast are actually under the control of the "out-of-control senior officer".

Although the committee's production department is low-key, it is also not a fuel-saving lamp.

Even before the tripartite meeting was triggered, they had secretly prioritized the construction of settlements on the east coast through resource allocation and other methods.

It is against this background that Ideal City was born.

Not only that, they even joined forces with the manager of Vault 6 and the then captain of the colonial ship to jointly promote the "Enterprise" plan, establish a regional "Supreme Council", and propose a general line of "industrial salvation".

Perhaps in the opinion of the then Minister of Production, the colonists on the surface who stranded the colony ship in order to save their home planet, and the residents of Vault 6 who bravely opened the door to save more survivors, were more important than those who The argument at the negotiation table is that "colleagues" are more trustworthy.

Although idealists rarely make visible results right away, every step forward in literature is inseparable from the exploration of idealists.

They decided to replace the committee and become explorers of the new era.

Chapter 2173, Wasteland Era 44, the second trigger incident occurred. The Production Department had a premonition that the collapse of the post-war reconstruction committee was inevitable, so it unilaterally announced the "Yunjian 3" through the already full-fledged Ideal City. Provincial Recovery Act.”

The bill stipulates that Yunjiantian Province has four strategic defense zones of mountains and seas, islands, inner lakes, and river mouths, three metropolitan areas of Beiyun, Sangyun, and Hayun, and two industrial zones No. 1 and 2. All pre-war cultural The ruins are jointly owned by all the survivors in Yunjian Province.

This sounds like a very mild initiative and reasonable.

But in fact, he had an ulterior motive.

On the night of the promulgation of the bill, more than a dozen armed forces set out from Ideal City in the name of enterprises and quickly took over all the research institutes on the east coast of the committee's technical department, as well as the pre-war cultural relics under development.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out in the research facilities of both sides.

The academy's armed forces have been established for a short period of time and their combat effectiveness is not strong. However, due to the investment in a large amount of high-tech equipment and AI-controlled war weapons, it still caused a lot of trouble for the corporate forces.

Although the company still won in the end, it also resulted in the destruction of many research facilities.

For example, the experimental facility engaged in the research of singularity technology-"Gestalt Life Form" was reduced to ashes in that conflict.

This result not only resulted in the complete loss of the original components of the "Gestalt Life Form" technology, but also caused some experimental subjects with unstable DNA to escape to the wasteland, some moving along the coastline, and some heading towards the desert. Migrate in the 㱕 direction.

And these experimental subjects living in the wasteland became the later mutants.

Although this conflict was in the name of the company and Ideal City, and the production department was not involved, the researchers from the technology department were not stupid.

Taking this incident as an opportunity, Dr. Conclusion immediately announced the dissolution of the technical department. Not only did he take over all the survivor settlements in the Wandering Swamp in the name of the academy, he also permanently cut off all technical support to people outside the Wandering Swamp, and even deleted the Great Rift Valley database.

Especially regarding the coordinates of the pre-war cultural relics.

So far, legions, enterprises, and colleges have entered the stage of history.

The "asset transfer" was completed by the Ministry of Defense, Production Department, and Technology Department. Then one after another they threw away their historical baggage and happily announced their dissolution.

Three important departments have been lost, and 44 post-war reconstruction committees have existed in name only and are unable to support survivors' settlements in various places.

Reached the 2174th chapter, which is the 45th chapter of the Wasteland Era.

Facing an empty conference table, the Post-War Reconstruction Committee finally reached the final step - officially announcing its dissolution.

From now on, each settlement no longer needs to abide by the interim constitution established by the committee, nor does it need to be managed by the committee.

In contrast, each settlement needs to find its own way out and solve its own survival problems amidst the never-ending cold winter and invasion of alien species.

In his last words, the committee chief still expressed the hope that the management of each settlement would not forget their mission and try their best to help the compatriots around them.

No one knew it at the time.

As soon as the Post-War Reconstruction Committee announced its dissolution, the atmospheric environment showed signs of recovery.

The long nuclear winter also came to an end in people's astonished eyes, and the declining species repopulated the land.

At this point, legions, colleges, and enterprises have entered a period of development one after another, and the Wasteland Era has also entered the half-century-long "Shelter Era" from the "Committee Era".

As the climate reached the preset standard for ending dormancy, the shelters opened their doors one after another, and the old popsicles who came out of the shelters also stepped onto the stage that had become a wasteland.

Although the plan deviated from the expected track from the beginning, most of the shelters neither found the post-war reconstruction committee that had been disbanded, nor did they manage to keep things on the surface in the same order as inside the shelters.

However, they were incompatible with this era. In a short period of time, they gave this declining world a shot in the arm, and used the knowledge and mysterious black boxes of the prosperous era to help a group of wastelanders. They survived the initial dark ages of the failed Reconstruction Commission.

Chu Guang was surprised that these unknown secrets were placed on the bookshelf of the Great Rift Valley Lounge for people to browse at will.

What's more, he didn't expect that the old neighbor to the north of the alliance was once the headquarters of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee.

"No...I can't say I didn't expect it at all."

Chu Guang carefully recalled the holographic image left by Dr. Principle that he and Yin Fang had seen before, and connected it with the clues collected by the Dead Corps.

"...The second chapter of the Wasteland Era, delayed the awakening of two people. Under the escort of Dr. Principle, Battalion Commander Zhao Weisheng of the 111th Orbital Airborne Division, he went to the Great Rift Valley with more than a thousand survivors unplanned. Comrades from the Post-War Reconstruction Committee gathered together.”

"According to the description in the holographic image, the Great Rift Valley was already controlled by the 111th Orbital Airborne Division at that time... In other words, the predecessor of the legion was actually the 111th Orbital Airborne Division deployed in the Rift Valley Province?"

And he also saved one of the three founders of the academy? !

Looking at the data recovered by the players and the past events, Chu Guang couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

When Vault 404 was closed, so many things happened outside...

And at this moment, he finally understood Dr. Method's mood, why that guy went to Vault 101 to isolate himself.

If I were stabbed twice in the back by my teammates, I'm afraid my mentality would not be very good, especially the second stab would be completely inexplicable.

But from the standpoint of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Production having been disbanded, of course they have their own reasons——

‘I shed my blood and sweat to help you open the ruins, but if you don’t do any cloning technology, I will do it myself! ’

‘Anyway, you will definitely be together in the future. Since it is an expected and highly probable event, why can’t I be the one to take action first? ’

Looking at the last page in the holographic image, Chu Guang couldn't help but think of his alliance.

Both he and the league are very young, but he will always be old one day, and human abilities have their limits after all, and he cannot always keep up with the changes of the times.

The player world is also moving forward, and even with the technical support of the shelter, they will progress faster than normal, and even enter the era of prosperity ahead of schedule.

At that time, "Wasteland OL" will face new challenges.

"...No matter what, the Alliance will not follow the footsteps of the 'Committee'."

After muttering softly, Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and flicked it in the air, closing the floating window in front of him.

He always had a strong sense of déjà vu.

I seem to have said something similar to this before.

And at this moment, a light blue pop-up window suddenly flashed before his eyes without any warning.

[Emergency mission triggered! 】

[Say: The morphological field device detected an abnormal individual and triggered the "flag6" judgment. The login permission of player ID: "Luoyu" was temporarily frozen. 】

[Requirement: This task has been noted as the highest priority, and the coordinates have been updated to the shelter server map file. Administrators are requested to recover the abnormal individual as soon as possible, anesthetize it and place it on the B1 floor conveyor belt. 】

[Task reward: Unlock B6 floor]

This mission pop-up window hadn't appeared for a long time, and when it popped up suddenly, Chu Guang almost didn't recognize it.

And when he saw the mission reward, he was even more stunned.

B6 floor?

etc……

Isn’t the B5 floor not unlocked yet?

Why did you skip it directly?

But what he meant more was the urgent mission.

"...Abnormal individual?!"

What the hell?

Chu Guang was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he immediately reopened the holographic computer and gave instructions to his cute little assistant.

"Xiaoqi, immediately synchronize the latest received coordinates on the shelter server to my holographic computer."

Xiaoqi: "Got it!"

The coordinates quickly appeared on the map.

It happens to be the location of Lost Valley in the southern part of Luoxia Province.

Seeing this coordinate, Chu Guang was even more confused.

He clearly remembered that a nuclear bomb had been exploded there just a few hours ago.

Even if some players dare to die and try to get a taste of what it feels like to be bombed by a nuclear bomb, they can't survive after being hit by a nuclear bomb, right?

Can this game still be hacked?

And just when Chu Guang was wondering what happened, a miserable wailing appeared on the official website forum.

"Blank it!"

"I'm counting, why is the countdown to resurrection not counting!!!"

(Thanks to the "11㱕11" alliance for the reward!!!)
