This Game Is Too Realistic

The Great Desert is located in the west of Luoxia Province.

Although it is named after a desert, it is actually not as "deserted" as most wastelanders imagine.

The concrete buildings that either collapsed or were submerged in yellow sand, as well as the rusty warehouses and factories, all indicate the past prosperity of this place. Even though the billowing yellow sand blew for two centuries, it still did not completely submerge this man-made miracle spanning thousands of kilometers.

Not only that, because the underground ocean current transport pipes intersect here, a large amount of desalinated seawater seeps into the underground rock formations due to the rupture of the pipes, forming a rich underground water reservoir.

Therefore, even though this area is filled with many meteorological disasters such as earthquakes, sandstorms, radioactive dust, and thunderstorms, the species active in this area are actually less prosperous than in the Luoxia Province next door.

At that time, there were only a few oases left to the Luoxia Province, but the situation here was completely opposite.

The remaining favors are so numerous that they have overflowed...

"Mom...what is that?"

A giant snake as thick as an oil barrel swam slowly between two collapsed high-rise buildings. Its cracked skin was like dry yellow earth, and it lurked in the soft quicksand like a giant fallen tree.

Seeing the tens of meters long giant snake squirming forward in the quicksand, the soldier wearing the exoskeleton took two steps back with his scalp numb.

His name is Su Ming, and his position is a precision shooter. The number 26 printed on his breastplate and arms is his and his brothers' serial number, and he is also the "Enterprise's 16th Commando Team".

As a minority of the company's ground troops, they participated in the battle of Luoxia Province. They mainly performed forward, guerrilla and sabotage missions behind enemy lines during the war.

Although most residents of Ideal City attribute all the credit for the victory of the war to their allies, their participation in the battle was actually not small.

It's just that it's not that easy to hear when written in a press release.

Arriving next to Su Ming, Yun Song stared at the giant snake. The square frame in the tactical eyepiece locked it in the center, and the progress bar circled along the edge of the square frame.

"There is no record of it in the database... If you discover it first, how about you give it a name?"

Su Ming touched the back of his head.

"Sandworm?"

Before Yun Song could say anything, Gu Wei, who was wearing power armor, smiled and teased.

"It's too rustic, and there's already one in the desert next door. It's completely different from this guy."

"Then...earth dragon? Giant earthworm? Digger?"

"Just digger...don't waste time."

Interrupting the conversation between the two, Yun Song stretched out his index finger and tapped twice in the air, operated the holographic window to save the image data, and then switched to the tactical map.

"The target is just one mile ahead... Everyone should be vigilant and we will be able to take our employees home soon."

"Oh!" Su Ming shouted feebly.

They have been on duty for almost a full year.

Traveling across thousands of kilometers of wasteland, he was even involved in a war in the Luoxia Province along the way... He couldn't help but think that he could make a movie after his experiences along the way.

Under Yun Song's orders, the 26th Assault Team continued the operation.

Led by the bionic soldiers and drones, the group advanced along the dilapidated concrete road for a while, carefully avoiding large expanses of quicksand and several areas with abnormal life signals.

At this time, there was new news from the communications corps. Yun Song raised his fist and signaled the team to stop at the entrance of an abandoned factory.

At this point, they were only the last three meters away from the mutant tribe. In the distance, they could even see a camouflage bunker piled with garbage on the abandoned building, as well as mutant sentries standing guard with binoculars.

"...The mission status update is from the news. The alliance has decided to send an airship to support our operation before withdrawing its troops."

After hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

They did not take everyone with them on this mission. More than 30 logistics personnel and more than a dozen soldiers stayed at the camp site.

With ten power armors, thirty sets of exoskeletons, and less than thirty bionic soldiers, it is still difficult to kill a mutant tribe that is more than ten times their size without heavy fire support.

Even if they win, they will suffer a lot of casualties.

The mutants in the desert don't just use iron pipe rifles. These beasts have mastered semi-automatic or even fully automatic weapons through trading with the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom.

Not to mention that they took the scraps and garbage from the pre-war era and made their own weapons.

Those things don't look very reliable. If you underestimate them, you will suffer big losses.

For example, they had seen a mutant before who used the "Pioneer" robot's head and spine as a hot-melt ray gun, and even killed one of their powered armors with a sneak attack.

These unexpected attack methods make it difficult to guard against.

Su Ming said excitedly when he heard that alliance support was on the way.

"That 400mm heavy gun?"

Yunsong nodded.

"Yes...including ground troops and those unreliable gliders, but we need to confirm that there are no one of us in the camp before we can decide whether to use an ax or a scalpel."

As he spoke, he looked at the drone operator standing behind the team.

"I'll leave the investigation to you."

"receive."

A man with a steady expression made a gesture, tapped his fist on his shoulder, and the drone backpack behind him bounced open the hatch.

A four-rotor drone ejected like a crossbow, flying into the sky with a roar of "Woo".

The screen is connected to the helmet's tactical eyepiece.

Although the signal is very poor, I can barely make do with it.

Under the control of the drone operator, the quadcopter drone carefully avoided the mutant sentry's line of sight, moved to the side of the building, passed through the rows of twisted steel bars and concrete debris, and flew over the mutant tribe.

The entire tribe is located in an abandoned factory.

Garbage shacks and half-collapsed factory buildings merge into one, and large areas of iron sheds and drying animal skins block twisted alleys.

However, through the gaps in the covering, one can still see coal-like bodies, bloodthirsty fangs and knotted muscles.

They're like orcs in fantasy movies.

What makes people shudder is that these rutting and blood-drinking animals actually imitated humans and developed cities, and even clarified the division of labor in society...

There are residential areas that reek of feces, a gladiatorial arena where violence is unleashed and fun for mutants, a blacksmith department and tool workshop filled with the sound of forging iron, a plantation where unknown fruits are grown, and incarcerated people. Various livestock pastures...

Looking down at this huge tribe through the drone lens, the drone operator only felt his scalp numb.

Especially when he found the same kind of people imprisoned in cages in the pasture that was like a garbage dump, anger rushed to his forehead.

"Mom..."

"What's wrong?" Hearing his low curse, Yun Song cast a questioning look at him.

The drone operator did not speak, but stretched out his index finger to swipe in the air, and transferred the picture he saw to his teammates who were looking at him.

The drone lens zooms in.

I saw rows of iron baskets made up of steel bars, containing bodies covered with scars and without any body parts.

Most people with full bellies are considered "lucky", as mutants usually don't eat them, but those who fail to bear children for them are in misery. Many of them were tortured so much that their arms and legs were removed, and their wounds were rotting and infested with maggots.

Mutants have extremely strong body resilience and do not need bandages or anti-inflammatory drugs at all. Naturally, they will not bandage animals that have not eaten.

Many people were sitting on the ground with their eyes blank, not even having the strength to drive away the mosquitoes and flies surrounding them. Some people were motionless, wondering if they were dead.

Not far away, on the chopping board, a mutant priest with bare arms was using a primitive and rude method to deliver a baby to a human handcuffed to the chopping board.

They don't care if those people die in the process.

Followers of Chaos are never picky eaters. Their stomachs are as strong as their muscles and bones.

Those slaves who were kept as livestock may be from the Falcon Kingdom, honey badgers or lions, or even sent from further away by slave traders... few people will pay attention to those who were in the war. Where did the missing people go in the end?

Even though he had seen many hellish scenes during the march in the wasteland, Su Ming's face still couldn't help but feel slightly agitated.

This is much crueler than those predators who follow suit.

The soldier not far from him couldn't help but retched.

"These beasts!" Gu Wei tightened his grip on the heavy machine gun in his hand, wishing he could rush in and shoot them all.

"They were animals when they were born. When did you think they weren't anymore?"

Yunsong expressionlessly operated on the holographic window, selecting parts of the camp and marking places where there might be living people.

After doing all this, he signaled the signal troops to set up a signal enhancement device, roughly pointing it in the direction of the Heart of Steel.

"This is the 16th Commando. We have confirmed the location of the 'Blackstone' mutant tribe. The number of mutants is around two thousand, which is the same as the intelligence."

"Survivors were found in the tribe... We can't get closer. We're not sure if there are any of us inside. I hope not."

After a burst of current and noise.

The answering voice came from the other end of the communication channel.

"Roger... We have half an hour to arrive. If it's convenient, please help us lead them to a more open area."

Yun Song turned his attention to two abandoned buildings that were close together not far away - where the "earth-digging worm" was passing through.

That's a good location.

Either as an artillery landing point.

Or as a grave to bury those beasts.

"Got it, give it to us."

After ending the communication, he waved to the soldiers behind him.

"Get ready to work."

…

At the same time, dozens of kilometers away on the edge of the desert, a huge steel airship was slowly pushing away from the edge of the rolling yellow sand, heading towards the endless ruins.

When he first entered Luoxia Province, Chu Guang was shocked by the endless yellow sand and rolling clouds.

So at this moment, he was shocked, and it could be said that it was no less shocking than at that time.

Even worse!

"It's unbelievable... was this a city before?" Standing in the bridge, Chu Guang looked down at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a look of surprise on his face.

The hundred-meter-wide highway extends straight forward, integrating with the tall buildings on the horizon. Even if you stand on an airship thousands of meters above the ground, you can't see the end at a glance.

The earth is divided into countless grids by intertwined roads and track debris, half of which is a complex of tons of buildings, and the other half is an endless desert.

It may take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, for this land to completely change into the shape of Luoxia Province...

Standing next to Chu Guang, Wu Changnian narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was not only shocked, but also a little melancholy.

"...I heard that in the Prosperous Era, that is, two centuries ago, the Great Desert was not a great desert, but four industrial divisions of the People's Federation."

Chu Guang glanced at him and asked in confusion.

"Four industrial divisions?"

"Yes."

Wu Changnian nodded, looking out the window as if he was lost in the memory of a certain video material. After a moment of pause, he slowly continued.

"...The Western Industrial Zone is the beginning of all industrial chains. It is responsible for the production of the most basic materials, as well as the rough processing of materials transported by logistics networks and space elevators, such as chemicals and catalysts. , alloy and so on.”

"The northern industrial zone is a logistics and warehousing center, responsible for the storage of logistics surplus, the distribution of finished products, and the transfer of intermediate products and waste materials. It has the highest tonnage transportation network in the Prosperity Era, whether it is trackless transportation or rail transportation ...Theoretically, as long as you choose the right transportation, you can get there directly from any corner of the planet, and there are also the highest-tonnage office buildings there.”

"The Eastern Industrial Zone is the end point of the industrial chain. The large, efficient and integrated industrial chain is responsible for converting materials and intermediate products into or assembling final products."

"As for the southern industrial zone, it is mainly an energy hub. It is like a large charging plug, which is used to receive energy generated by power generation facilities in outer space."

"With the space elevator, the four industrial zones surrounding the space elevator form a complete closed loop of the industrial chain."

Chu Guang said in surprise.

"The construction industry center in the middle of the mainland?"

To him from another world, this sounded counterintuitive.

After all, in his hometown, most industrial areas are concentrated in the east, especially in the coastal areas. There are fewer industrial centers in the inland west and their distribution is relatively sparse.

But here it seems to be a completely different story.

Wu Changnian nodded and continued.

"Yes, there are stable climate conditions here, far away from the junction of continental plates, there are no active earthquakes and volcanic activities, and unlike the sea or coast, typhoons blow from time to time... There is no place more suitable for building a space elevator base than here. ”

As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but contain a hint of emotion.

"At first it was just an elevator. Later, the vast transportation network began to extend to low-Earth orbit, and gradually turned into a tower, a mountain, and even a bigger mountain. Endless and rich resources poured from space to the surface, and their abundance Astonishing...the prosperity of that era is unimaginable in this era, and even the ideal city is just the tip of the iceberg."

Wu Changnian had also heard that in the original plan, the People's Federation planned to use the space elevator as the center to radiate the city to every corner of the Central Continent in another two centuries. Use the energy and alloys obtained from space mining to build a global city for the entire planet.

That blueprint is a collection of everyone's dreams throughout the prosperous era. Personal ideals, ambitions and imaginations will infinitely extend this infinitely prosperous planet, and use it as a starting point to spread to more distant galaxies.

Unfortunately, a war that only lasted for three years brought all dreams to naught.

While Wu Changnian was thinking about the past, Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, had not yet recovered from the huge blueprint.

Although it was not bragging because he could see it with the naked eye, he still couldn't figure out how this huge industrial center was placed in the middle of the continent.

"...Where's the water for the industry? Where does the water come from?"

Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that his focus would be here, and then he said with a smile.

"Isn't there an underground ocean current pipeline? What do you think the Great Rift Valley was used for before?"

Only then did Chu Guang come back to his senses.

He seemed to have heard vaguely before that the Great Rift Valley existed to store the surplus energy generated by the controllable fusion power station, and the specific way to achieve this was to electrolyze seawater.

As for by-products such as surplus chlorine, sodium and various metal elements precipitated from seawater, they will be packaged and sent to the industrial area for processing.

It turns out that the underground ocean current pipeline was not only built for the Great Rift Valley, but also for the purpose of transporting industrial water to the center of the continent!

The power of that era was actually more terrifying than he imagined...

Chu Guang was shocked and his scalp was numb.

Especially when I think of all the cool stuff I pretended to be at the beginning, and the "cakes" I drew for Yin Fang, Heya, Vanus and other survivors...

How the hell can we return to the greatness of the Prosperity Era?

Mobilizing 7 billion players is not enough!

What's more, it's obvious that the form can't accommodate so many people... Otherwise, there would be no reason for the first-generation managers to set up numerous rules and "issue activation codes" to him in a planned way.

Not knowing what Chu Guang was thinking at this moment, Wu Changnian chuckled and continued.

"Of course, the solid hydrogen underground in the Great Rift Valley is a strategic reserve and will not be used in normal times. The main water supply for industry is the southern industrial area. It is not only an energy hub, but also responsible for desalination and desalination. Sewage recycling... I don’t know much about it. I just got a rough idea from the database. If you want to know more about how the entire system works, you have to ask experts in this field.”

"In short, the four major industrial areas account for more than 60% of the People's Federation's GDP, and the peak is said to have reached 70%,"

"So remember, no one knows what will be in Shelter 0. We'd better be careful and arrange the candidates carefully."

Listening to that cautious tone, Chu Guang also nodded seriously.

"I will assign a shelter resident with outstanding sensory abilities."

Wu Changnian nodded approvingly.

"That's the best thing."

He had heard about the number of awakened people per capita in Vault 404.

Although he believes in AI and machines more than unstable biological factors such as awakening, in previous wars, the Alliance has proven that humans are not inferior to machines under certain circumstances, and can even create things that machines cannot. A miracle that can be achieved, it is not a bad thing to bring two more reliable masters.

And this is also the reason why he was able to convince the enterprise and the legion to help the alliance, which had "no experience in excavation of ruins," win two places.

There is only one access card.

According to the description of the employee from Luo Hua, the elevator they found that leads to Vault 0 is not very large, and the number of people who can go down at one time is limited...

At this moment, the bridge door opened.

Vanus walked in from the outside, gave a military salute, and said cleanly.

"News came from the 26th Commando of the Enterprise. They have confirmed the coordinates of the 'Blackstone' mutant tribe, but they are not sure whether there are any Enterprise members among the slaves imprisoned by the mutants."

"If you can't determine whether it is saved, then it will be saved by default." Turning to look at Vanus, Chu Guang said seriously, "Is there a new battle plan?"

Vanus nodded.

"The combat plan is a frontal attack. We have informed the 26th Commando that fire support will arrive in half an hour. They plan to launch an attack in half an hour and lure enemy units to their recommended artillery coordinates."

"众嗽, just follow this plan," Chu Guang nodded, and after a moment of pause, continued to order, "let the airship's artillery positions prepare for firepower, and have the Burning Corps on standby below the deck to prepare to support our allies. ”

"Yes!" After giving a neat military salute, Vanus turned and walked out of the bridge.

Looking away from his back, Wu Changnian looked at Chu Guang with grateful eyes.

"Thank you for your attention to our members."

Chu Guang smiled slightly and said.

"You're welcome. The crew of the Pioneer are not only our friends, but they have always been kind to us."

Without that epoch-making machine tool, the subsequent industry would not have progressed so smoothly. No matter how big the imagination of young players is, they still have to have something to turn their ideas into reality.

Although it was a deal where everyone got what they needed, he knew that the other party actually took care of them, otherwise he would not have acquiesced in allowing them to collect so many sheep.

When he parted with Captain Lu Yang, he said that he would remember this favor, and now is the time to return the favor.

"...But speaking of which, was that person from Weiland just now?" Wu Changnian suddenly asked as if he thought of something.

"um, yes."

Seeing Chu Guang's reaction was so bland, Wu Changnian couldn't help but ask.

"Is it really okay?"

He had just reminded the young leader that he must be careful about every Willantian.

Looking at the slightly concerned gaze, Chu Guang said casually.

"He stayed voluntarily."

Before heading to Luoxia Province, Chu Guang had discussed this issue with Vanus. If he felt embarrassed to fight with the legion, he could stay with Qingquan. He would not force anyone to participate in a war that he did not want to participate in.

Objectively speaking, the officers Vanus trained for the alliance and his contribution to the alliance's command structure in the early days of his business were enough to repay his "debt".

After the war is over, he can be returned to his hometown as a prisoner of war exchange like other prisoners of war, and no one will know that he has served the Union.

After hearing his proposal, Vanus not only refused the only opportunity to go home, but he even stood up to Finold and McClun, the two prisoners who were destined to be exchanged, to Show your loyalty to the alliance.

The reason he gave made Chu Guang silent for a long time.

"...I spent a year thinking about the meaning of this war, and we seemed to get nothing except hatred and death. My troops were wiped out in the south for no reason, and my commander and His subordinates were wiped out in the north. At the moment of defeat, I didn't have any regrets, but felt a little relieved. "

"I don't think His Majesty the Marshal is wrong, nor do I think General Klass is stupid. Maybe by continuing along their path, we can really lead to the United States, but we don't understand it at the moment. "

"As General Klaas often said, we are extremely vicious criminals. All of us will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history by future generations for reflection, but they will thank us for leaving them a vast and boundless world.㱗In that world, there are only Weiland people, and the Weiland people will not hate the Weiland people. The tragedies that happened before... whether it was two hundred years ago or in the more distant past, will not happen again. "

"But here, I see another possibility that we have imagined. Maybe there is a unity in this world that transcends blood... Just like you said, we are all survivors, whether we are in the shelter Residents are still outsiders in the wasteland. It’s not one of us that should be eliminated, but the barbarism raging in the wasteland.”

"War is a job for me, and fighting misfortune is the only thing I can do. But if you are here, it can become a little bit more meaningful. Please let me talk to you. Keep moving forward."

For a moment, the flashing signal lights on the lower deck had already conveyed the battle order.

An eager player has already put on an exoskeleton, picked up the most elite equipment, and brought plenty of ammunition.

This time I went to pick up an old friend and take him home.

Moreover, it was an open military operation under the joint attention of the three forces: the army, the enterprise, and the academy.

Everyone was already prepared to show off in front of the old guys, to show the new Governor of the Wilantes whether they had lost unjustly or not.

"Brothers! Our opponents this time are mutants! Back on Street 76, our friends from the East Coast took advantage of us. It's our turn to take them out this time."

Walked in front of all the Tuo brothers.

Lao Bai, who was wearing dragoon power armor, glanced around at his imposing brothers and spoke loudly with a loud voice.

"There is only one purpose of action——"

"Leave no one behind!"

A deafening shout came from the cabin door leading to the deck, and even the gold floor shook violently with the burning fighting spirit.

"Oh oh oh!"

"Kill all those beasts!"
