This Game Is Too Realistic

Among the many organizations in the alliance, the funding for the scientific expedition team is definitely at the forefront.

Not only because this organization has contracted more than three tasks for players, but also because every time something is retrieved from the relics of pre-war civilization, the improvement in the alliance's hard power can be seen with the naked eye.

Vault 404, B4 floor browsing room.

Yin Fangzheng excitedly described to Chu Guang the treasures he found among the piles of rubbish hauled back from the Cow Horse.

"It was a piece of debris as big as a palm! When our researchers found it, it was stuck on a piece of carbon nanotube material of the space elevator and almost missed it."

"If my guess is correct, this thing should be a structural material on a certain small and medium-sized space shuttle. What is certain is that even that thing from the Prosperity Era is quite advanced. It's a pity that only such a small piece is left. …”

"Because there is no information to refer to, I named it without authorization. What do you think of the word ceramic? At present, our laboratory has analyzed its molecular configuration and material structure, and is now able to imitate it in the laboratory. However, Industrialization may still be difficult.”

While speaking, Yin Fang showed Chu Guang the shape of the material and the data he had just collected through the beam projected by the holographic computer pen.

As if he guessed that Chu Guang would not be able to understand, Yin Fang also specifically used armor steel and A3 aerospace aluminum, which are currently the most produced in the alliance, for comparison.

With the reference object, the characteristics of the material will be much clearer.

Its weight is between armor steel and A3 aviation aluminum, and its hardness is the same. At the same time, it has heat resistance and oxidation resistance that the two do not have. The most incredible thing is that its toughness and mechanical impact resistance actually exceed that of ordinary alloys!

If this were put into the 21st century, it would probably be regarded as falling off an alien spacecraft.

After all, the chemical bond properties and crystal structure of ceramics determine that it does not have independent "slip" and cannot resist deformation like metal.

However, this material called ceramic steel retains the hardness of ceramics while exhibiting metal-like properties.

For materials science in the 21st century, let alone manufacturing processes, even the most basic theoretical parts are unestablished singularities.

Even in the prosperous era when gravity was able to be manipulated, there were only a few aerospace engines made of this material. It is precisely because of this that Yin Fang is so excited.

Chu Guang didn't expect that he could understand the meaning of this material, and there was no need to do so.

Technical matters are naturally handled by professionals. He only needs to know the purpose, performance and production cost of this material. It is enough.

After briefly understanding the properties of the material, Chu Guang immediately looked at Yin Fang and asked.

"Where is the machining center on the B7 floor? Can it produce this thing?"

Yin Fang coughed lightly.

"The laboratory preparation I'm talking about means that we have to go to the machining center...otherwise, the most we can do is analyze the material properties."

Chu Guang smiled innocently.

"Since this is the case... then if the equipment of the machining center is produced, how much output can it reach? Is there any hope that it can be applied to our power armor or tanks?"

As if he had guessed that Chu Guang would ask this question, Yin Fang made a helpless expression and said.

"If it is deployed on a small scale, I think it won't be a big problem. Although this thing is designed for aerospace engines, it doesn't say it can only be used on aerospace engines. As long as you can accept its original version, let alone power armor and It’s a tank, and it’s no problem to put it on an exoskeleton.”

After hearing Yin Fang's answer, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"As long as it's okay, it's not a problem at all."

The alliance currently has no shortage of electricity and minerals. No matter how expensive it is, how expensive can it be?

What's more, this book can be passed on to players.

For example, make upgraded ceramite armor a paid content!

Take the Xiaguang powered armor independently developed and produced by the alliance as an example. The unit price of a "Xiaguang" is one million silver coins. If players are willing to shell out an additional 500,000 silver coins for optional options, they can upgrade the armored steel breastplate to a ceramic steel breastplate, which will increase damage resistance and durability by 50% each!

Of course, the specific improvement will have to be tested at the Wuhu Proving Ground. The general idea is this.

Looking at Chu Guang who had already started planning how to integrate the archaeological weapons into the Alliance Army, Yin Fang coughed lightly and said.

"Ceramic armor is just one of the technologies we recovered from the southern sea area. We are currently thinking about how to design a more economical production process for it. You are not so impatient. The technology we discovered is far more than just a piece of ceramic steel. , based on my experience, we can pick up at least ten D-level technologies that we don’t have from this batch of ‘junk’, and at least!”

"Not only that, the investigation of the coastal city ruins in the Baiyue Province will also help us to restore our experience and knowledge outside of engineering such as people's lifestyles and production methods during the Prosperity Era. Among them There are many things worth learning from, but they will take enough time to be reflected.”

"... What I want to say is that it is a genius idea to establish an outpost in the Baiyue Strait. It is not enough just now. We should increase the development of the southern sea area. There must be a lot of things hidden there that we do not know. Discovered treasure.”

After a pause, Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang and continued.

"In order to support the excavation work of the ruins, I hope you can allow our scientific expedition team to set up an investigation station in Chipchi Port to facilitate us to directly screen the salvaged objects and ruins materials collected locally... This will also save us. It’s a waste of precious transportation capacity to bring back a lot of garbage, and we have to slowly dig out gold from the garbage.”

"This is a good idea." Chu Guang nodded approvingly, "That's exactly what my shelter residents suggested. They hope that the scientific expedition team can set up an organization in Chipchi Port to conduct research on the local ruins exploration team and Salvage vessel provides technical support.”

For example, experts from the scientific expedition team will screen the targets worth exploring, prioritize the targets worthy of exploration, and remove targets from the list that show no search value.

In the past, the way local players explored ruins was to pick and choose some landmarks worth exploring based on experience, and bring them back first regardless of whether they were found.

If some highly professional researchers can be dispatched to the local area to support the players' exploration work, it will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of the players' search for ruins and reduce their workload.

At least, it can avoid bringing the toilet seat back as a welded ring.

After listening to Chu Guang's words, Yin Fang immediately nodded and said.

"No problem, I will select some people, and I will ask you to send them over when the time comes."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Don't worry! Although we don't have the conditions to buy you a scientific research ship of the same model as the academy, there is still no problem in getting a scientific research airship! You can set off at any time when you are ready-"

"By the way, bring along the people who helped us!"

Before Chu Guang could finish his words, he was hurriedly interrupted by the sound coming from the door.

Like a gust of wind, Heya with silver hair passed through the open trap door and blew in from the corridor outside the browsing room.

Looking towards the door, Yin Fang noticed the excited look on Heya's face, and he knew without a doubt that this guy had also discovered some important clues.

Chu Guang raised his eyebrows with interest, and was about to ask her what happened. She sat down on the sofa next to her and stared at him with bright eyes, and couldn't wait to speak.

"Major discovery! Based on the strain samples that your refuge residents brought back from the north shore of the Baiyue Strait, we compared the genes with the samples collected from Jinchuan Province and found 173 overlapping points and 677 similarities... But this is not the point. The point is that we have compared several key genes expressing traits, and it is basically certain that Baiyue Province is the birthplace of Nahu!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Fang looked at her in surprise, then frowned and said.

"Baiyue Province is the birthplace of Najie? Are you sure?"

Although Yin Fang is not good at research in the field of physics, the situation in Jinchuan Province does not require rich knowledge of physics to understand.

The savage and long-term Nahu will assimilate all organisms into his own puppets, and form a field of fungi as terrifying as a plague in a wide area.

It shows similar characteristics to the Qingquan City mutant slime mold in many aspects, such as releasing spores, indiscriminate erosion of organisms, etc.

If Naguo really originated in Baiyuetian Province, it should have become a hotbed of Nagoya breeding long ago. How could the alliance establish an outpost or even a settlement there.

And the most important thing is that he didn't find any hyphae on the waste products recycled from Baiyuetian Province? !

Looking at Yin Fang who looked suspicious, Heya took a deep breath, nodded seriously and said.

"I'm almost 100% sure... I know what you are confused about. We are also confused as to why the unbridled expansion of Kamcheon Province has failed to achieve results when the climate conditions are more suitable in Baiyue Province. No surprise, the fact is so surprising! And what’s even more surprising is that later, when we studied the genes of the original strain, we discovered that the original strain itself was a type of Gaia myxomycete and the earth fungus. The strains are formed by hybridization under natural conditions!”

"Formed under natural conditions?" Yin Fang's eyebrows knitted together, he pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Heya nodded seriously and continued.

"Previously we speculated that the Torch Church obtained the gene pool from the mother nest in Qingquan City and improved the native fungi to obtain the varieties. Now it seems that our conclusion is not comprehensive. The most original Naguo The strain itself is a combination of mutant slime mold and earth fungi, and they only artificially replaced the middle gene! "

This sounds a bit difficult to pronounce. I kept listening to the two people discussing Chu Guang and tried to understand it in my own way.

To put it simply, the original Naguo was the "child" of Gaia and the earth. It had both gene A from outside the earth and gene B provided by a certain fungus on the earth.

After the Torch Church discovered Naguo, they found that this thing could help them complete their plan for the Kingdom of Heaven, so they improved it.

For example, through the artificial breeding method, the A1 gene will be obtained from the mother nest in Qingquan City and inserted into the original Naguo strain A-B.

For example, the strain that is prevalent in Hai A Trin Province and southern Camcheon Trinh Province is the highly aggressive A-A1-B type, or simply A1-B type.

But……

Does it make any difference?

Chu Guang frowned slightly, just about to ask about the confusion in his heart. However, just when he was about to speak, a glimmer of understanding suddenly exploded in his mind.

A gene!

Where did the A gene come from in the first place? !

After catching this detail, Chu Guang blurted it out almost subconsciously.

"There is a brood nest in Baiyue Province?!"

Or did it exist before? !

As soon as he finished speaking, two pairs of eyes looked at him.

"Bai Yueting Province...was there a brood nest before?" Yin Fang was slightly stunned, but it only took him a moment to react. He frowned and said to himself, "I see..."

"Yes! This is the first inference we have drawn from that specimen! There may be a mother nest of mutant slime mold in Baiyue Province! And this is very likely to be the reason why local survivors disappeared from the province!" Heya Looking at Chu Guang in disbelief, he sighed with disbelief, "It's unbelievable, you actually guessed it!"

Chu Guang rolled his eyes, leaned on the sofa and said.

"Do I look stupid? Let's get straight to the point. Where do you think this nest might be?"

"Right here!"

While talking, Heya took out a test tube filled with dark green liquid from her pocket and waved it in front of the two of them.

Yin Fang was startled by her actions and stood up from the sofa.

Chu Guang was not frightened by her actions, but he was stunned when he saw the test tube in her hand, and spoke after two seconds.

"Right here...what do you mean?"

"This is what I have in my hand! The extract of the original strain of Naguo! This is the mother nest of Baiyue Province!" Heya raised the corners of her lips proudly, her bright eyes filled with incredible and fanaticism. "Those guys are geniuses!"

Trying to understand her incoherent speech, Chu Guang pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

"Wait a minute...who do you mean those guys are?"

"Of course those slime molds!" Heya said excitedly, "Do you remember? We have seen mutant slime molds before, no matter what kind they are, most of them are like Qingquan City Center or Xiaoyu. They all have one characteristic, That is, there is a mother nest and a group of fruiting entities, and all individuals share one consciousness! "

Yin Fang swallowed.

"I know...then what?"

Heya continued speaking quickly.

"The mother nest in Baiyue Province is an exception! It neither chose parasitism, symbiosis, or coexistence, but became one of them!"

"...Become them?" Chu Guang's pupils couldn't help but slightly dilate as he vaguely guessed something.

Mutant slime molds have extremely strong environmental adaptability. Not only can they flexibly change themselves to adapt to the environment, they are also good at borrowing and learning from the earth's native organisms.

For example, Qingquan City's Mother's Nest.

That guy accumulated a lot of combat experience in fighting humans, and learned how to use biomass to drive human armor.

not only that--

That guy also imitated monsters, claws of death, and other powerful alien species in the wasteland, and hatched powerful special fruit entities.

In fact, this is easy to understand.

The object that mutant slime molds imitate is never just humans or human civilization. The object they really imitate is the ecological system itself.

And human beings and human civilization are only part of this system.

In most cases, humans with the weapons of civilization can gain the upper hand from natural selection, even if there are some ridiculously powerful alien species in the wasteland.

Therefore, in most cases, mutant slime molds will imitate human behavior more, and may even penetrate into society and even civilization.

However, Baiyue Tin Province is an exception.

Whatever the reason, local survivors have mostly disappeared, replaced by a richer variety of species and more intense natural selection.

So it's almost obvious——

As a "colonizer", the mutant slime mold will choose anything as its first target to imitate.

"That's right!"

Heya stared at Chu Guang with sharp eyes and nodded to confirm his unspoken guess.

"Not only the fruits, but also the grass, the trees, and the alien species in the forest... All the creatures in the entire Baiyue Province are the continuation of that mother nest! They all carry the information from the planet Gaia㱕gene!”

"I'm not sure yet whether the mother nest in Baiyue Province has a unified consciousness like the mother nests in other areas. Its children obviously can no longer be called fruit entities, but have independent consciousness. "A separate species!"

"It has completely become them, it is a 'living' land!"
