This Game Is Too Realistic

The moment he stepped into the No. 81 Steel Plant, Chu Guang felt that the temperature around him instantly rose several degrees, so much so that he even felt a little hot wearing a deerskin coat.

Looking forward, I saw two furnaces, one large and one small, in the center of the factory.

The shells of these furnaces are cast from molds, and the insides are lined with refractory materials such as silica as acid linings.

One of the blast furnaces with a blower is responsible for heating the scrap steel stuffed into the furnace to 1,300 degrees and melting it into molten iron, while the other converter, which is set up on a concrete base and has six air inlets at the bottom, is responsible for heating the 1,300-degree steel. The molten iron is blown into qualified molten steel.

This process does not require reheating.

The heat released during the oxidation process is enough to raise the molten steel in the furnace from 1300 degrees to 1600~1700 degrees, and a certain amount of chromium is added according to a specific ratio. After the smelting is completed, the converter is dumped, and the molten steel is injected into a mold made of refractory materials. The rollers are rolled repeatedly.

In order to facilitate the operation, the two installed many pulleys and slings on the ceiling. Many of these are materials removed from the waste tire factory, and the quality is still very reliable.

At present, the No. 81 Steel Plant is only a small workshop and does not yet have the conditions to accurately measure the carbon content in the converter. The technical principles used are only the acid bottom-blown converter steelmaking method of the mid-19th century that was improved by "modern" experience.

Although Chu Guang didn't know much about steelmaking, his intuition told him that this thing was much more professional than the earthen blast furnace that Lao Bai had built before.

Especially the pair of rollers and the simple motor made of copper wire connected to the side of the rollers, even a layman like him thought it would work.

At least it looks more reliable than using a hammer.

It seems that we are missing a stamping machine and cannot make seamless steel pipes, but if we work hard, it shouldn't be a big problem!

Brother Levin quickly closed the door of the factory and took the managers to their workbench to show their achievements over the past few days.

"20 curved armor, built according to the dimensions you provide! This detachable steel plate can be perfectly connected to the front of the KV-1 exoskeleton, and provides a larger armor inclination angle for your heart and other key parts to avoid Fatal injury. In addition, at your request, we designed two special keels for this armor. Even if the armor is completely scrapped, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced with new armor pieces!"

"According to our performance tests, this steel plate can perfectly defend against 5, 7, 9 and other rifle and pistol bullets of various calibers fired from any distance! As long as you hang it on your chest, even in the face of a hail of bullets, you can Retreat calmly!"

Chu Guang held the curved steel plate in his hand and weighed it. It was estimated to weigh fifty or sixty kilograms.

This is just a piece of armor.

If a curved steel plate of similar size was installed on the back, the armor of the entire upper body would probably weigh a hundred kilograms.

Without an exoskeleton, it's really not that easy to wear this thing. Even the full-body plate armor of the Middle Ages was actually only 25 to 30 kilograms, and it was difficult to exceed 45 kilograms including horse gear.

And this is just a breastplate.

"Where are the other parts?"

Brother Tousuo, who was standing aside, immediately interjected.

"It's all here! In addition to the front armor, we have also designed corresponding rear armor for you, as well as bulletproof linings to protect the torso! But for your safety, we still do not recommend that you stand on the front line of the battlefield . After all, such a striking armor will definitely become the target of concentrated fire from the opposite side."

Chu Guang smiled.

joke.

Even you can think of it, but I can't think of it?

So far, Chu Guang would only go up to pick up heads and show the players a "plot animation" when the outcome was almost decided.

As for charging into battle, how could he have the nerve to steal the limelight from the players?

It's enough for you to take the opportunity to blow the whistle.

But this set of armor looks like it can be used not only by myself, but also by that big man named Roshan and Jun Jun.

Both of their panel attributes are quite good, and their initial strength values ​​are close to 10. After a few upgrades, they can definitely withstand it.

Since it has the Speedy Foot debuff, it is difficult to operate complex machines and cannot do the work of a professional player, so it can be used as a tank.

A burly white bear or lizard man charged with heavy armor. Just imagining the scene is shocking enough.

20 steel plate is enough for these two monsters to rush behind the enemy's bunker before their armor is shattered by small weapons.

Chu Guang checked other parts of the protective gear, including the helmet, which basically covered more than 90% of the parts in front of him and 100% of his vitals.

With the nitrogen-powered hammer, he doesn't need to charge with ferocious firepower. He only needs to be prepared for sneak attacks at critical moments.

"The total weight of the armor is 220 kilograms, which is 20 kilograms over the limit, but it's not a big problem." Chu Guang put down the protective gear in his hand and looked at the two players, "Can I give it a try?"

Brother Levin and Brother Wusuo nodded in unison, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Of course! We have been prepared for a long time!"

“Please give it a try!”

What’s the point of making the equipment if you don’t try it out?

As he said that, Brother Levin and Brother Wusuo struggled to carry the 100-kilogram breastplate, put it on the wooden stake that served as a target, and then quickly hid aside to avoid accidental damage from stray bullets.

Chu Guang visually measured the distance, which was about thirty meters. Then he pulled out the 10-caliber silver revolver from his waist and fired a shot at the breastplate.

boom--!

The loud noise like thunder echoed in the factory, and the gunfire was like lightning. I saw the breastplate hanging on the wooden stake, as if it had been struck by lightning, and it fell backwards with the wooden stake.

I didn't expect this gun to be so powerful!

The two players' eyes widened and they quickly moved over to take a look. And when they saw the bullet embedded in the steel plate, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dressed, but not completely!"

"The warhead is well made. It didn't bounce off. The bullet was flattened... hiss, it's so hot." Brother Levin reached out to touch the warhead and pulled his finger back as if he was electrocuted.

It doesn't hurt, but it seems to be blistering.

After walking over and taking a look at the armor piece lying on the ground, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

"You have done a good job. It seems that your steel plant is on the right track. The rewards for completing the task have been distributed to the corporate account of Steel Plant No. 81, a total of 200 silver coins!"

"In addition, for your outstanding personal performance, I will reward you with an additional 20 silver coins and 200 contributions in the name of the manager."

After listening to the manager's words, the two players' faces instantly showed expressions of joy and excitement.

I didn’t expect there would be additional rewards for completing this task!

"Thank you, Mr. Manager!!"

"We must continue to work hard! Carry forward the No. 81 Steel Plant and make it bigger and stronger!"

"Very good, very ambitious!" Chu Guang coughed lightly, looked slightly straightened, and continued seriously, "Next, I have two important tasks to give you."

"Currently, the outpost lacks heavy armor and the seamless steel needed to produce gun barrels. I need you to produce 10 sets of breastplates weighing less than 30 kilograms. They are required to be worn by standard-sized shelter residents. They are mainly for strength residents. .”

"In addition, I also need you to produce 10 7-caliber seamless steel pipes, which must be able to withstand the chamber pressure generated when rifle bullets are fired."

"The specific details and rewards of the mission have been updated in your VM, please check it in time."

After Brother Wusuo and Brother Levin heard this, they immediately stood up straight and shouted with high morale.

"Promise to complete the mission!"

very good.

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction, and finally told the two of them a few words such as "pay attention to production safety."

Then, he put on a fully protective and improved exoskeleton, carried a sledgehammer on his back, and left the furnace-like steel factory.

Outside the factory.

The heavy snow fell for a while, and the sky in the distance gradually darkened.

It's rest time for the NPCs now, and the weapon shop at the outpost has closed its door.

With today's daily salary, Xia Yan left the weapon shop and walked curiously to the North Gate Market with his crutch under his arm.

Looking at the various products on the stall, her eyes widened in surprise.

Of course, the most surprised ones are the players.

They had never seen Boss Xia leave her weapons shop, let alone her wandering around the market at the north gate.

"Damn, the wife of the weapons shop is out?"

"Awesome! Now NPCs can buy things from players!?"

"Wait a minute, hasn't the manager been buying it all the time? I've seen him come here to eat it a long time ago!"

"Can that be the same? The manager is the planner's own son! Besides, didn't you hear what the planner said? The codes of other NPCs are all based on his source code. Obviously, his AI has evolved. Other NPCs have also become smarter! Maybe all NPCs will be able to buy our stuff in the future!"

"Holy crap, when you say that, why does it feel like a nurturing game to me?"

"E... Are you training to be a manager? There seems to be nothing wrong with him. After all, he is so smart now. He deserves half of our credit at least."

"..."

Sometimes Chu Guang really wishes that his ears were not so pointed, otherwise people would always misunderstand him as being petty.

In the conscience of heaven and earth, isn’t he selfless enough?

People as principled as him are almost extinct in the wasteland!

"for you."

A sudden voice came to his ears, interrupting Chu Guang's thoughts.

Looking sideways, he saw Xia Yan holding a cane between his elbows, holding a skewer of roasted venison legs in one hand, and generously handed the skewer over.

"Last time, you treated me to soup, this time I treat you to roast venison leg!"

He held a crutch under his elbow and held a deer leg in his hand. This action was somewhat funny.

Chu Guang smiled and took the deer leg.

"Then I'm not welcome. However, as your boss, I still remind you that you'd better save some money on your salary."

Xia Yan bit into the barbecue and blinked.

"What's the point of saving money?"

"Don't you have the habit of saving?"

"Savings?"

"Forget it," Chu Guang blew on the hot venison leg meat, gently tore off a small piece with his teeth, chewed it carefully, and then said slowly after swallowing, "Pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia Yan: "?"

After such a long period of comfortable life, he almost forgot about the time in Beit Street.

The vast majority of people in the wasteland live one day at a time, so how can they have the concept of saving?

You never know that the chips you saved will become something in someone else's pocket one day, so you might as well spend every day happily.

At this time, a player suddenly ran from a distance, shouting excitedly as he ran.

"There are a lot of people coming from the north! They are heading south along the elevated highway out of the city. There are about fifty or sixty...maybe sixty or seventy, and they are leading a few camels and cows! Not sure about their identities!"

The young players at the market entrance immediately started talking about it.

"Is it a caravan?"

"Giao, the merchant is here again?!"

"Didn't we agree on the last wave of winter?"

"I don't know. Strictly speaking, the last wave should have been the last one, but wasn't there another wave after that? Isn't it strange?"

Looking at the chattering 'players', Xia Yan glanced at the VM. Seeing no movement, he tilted his head and peeked at the expression on Chu Guang's face, and found that his expression gradually became serious.

Even if she didn't know how to read people's emotions, she could still guess that something bad must have happened.

So Lightspeed finished eating half of the roasted deer leg in his hand, Xia Yan grabbed the crutch and asked in a low voice.

"What happened?"

"Eighty percent are nomads."

"Nomads?! What are they doing in Qingquan City at this time? The snow has already fallen so hard." Xia Yan looked surprised.

She had heard rumors about nomads, although they were not very good rumors.

"I don't know. This year's snow came suddenly, more than a month earlier than in previous years. War, famine, waves... these are not unique to Qingquan City, and Central Continent is not just a province of River Valley."

The nomads in the wasteland do not refer to those who graze herds, but to the refugees who have lost their homes and are forced to wander, making a living by hunting and scavenging.

They usually represent disaster, chaos and ominousness, but they do not burn, kill and loot as blatantly as looters.

Maybe one day they find a suitable home, settle down, and embark on a lawful path.

It is also possible that you suddenly find a lot of weapons, become more evil, break through the moral bottom line, and completely fall into the chaotic and evil camp.

Of course, this possibility is actually very small, just like buying a lottery ticket. Maybe only one or two out of 10,000 samples win the prize.

Liu Zhengyue from Brown Farm had misunderstood Chu Guang as nomads wandering into this area because he brought a lot of dried meat to trade for grain.

I didn’t expect that I would actually run into it this time…

"You go back to the shelter and stay there."

If they continue moving forward, they will definitely find the brick factory in the northwest corner of Linghu Wetland Park.

Without any nonsense to explain to Xia Yan, Chu Guang looked at the players at the market entrance and raised his voice.

"Everyone gather."

"Take your weapons and follow me to meet them!"
