Starting from Zero

"Actually, I don't know where it is?" The leading Korean player said, "I brought you here because I just took you there when the leader gave me this Heart of Iron, and I have been there before. Twice, and each time I just waited silly in the port and never went in. As for the way back and forth, I was sitting in a submarine, and the route was completely unknown. So I can tell you that is very important Outside of the place, nothing else can tell you. "

Yamamoto Fifty-five pretended to be surprised: "There is still such a secret place? It's really cool enough, just like a secret military base."

"It's not wrong to say that it is a secret military city base, after all, the environment of that place ..." The leading Korean player stopped here and said, "I don't know how to describe it, anyway, you Just go and see for yourself. "

During the subsequent voyages, Yamamoto ’s mouth never stopped. He kept asking about various things, and behaved as if he was a curious baby, and he also operated for a short time after obtaining permission. submarine.

In fact, the operation of such a small submarine is still very simple, and as long as it is not in some special sea areas, it is not so particular about sailing in a normal marine environment. Anyway, there is no specific route range for you to go under the sea. As long as you do not deviate from the course, it is OK to take s.

After playing for a while, Yamamoto returned the control of the submarine to the previous operator, and then sat down honestly and began to ask various questions about the submarine. In fact, such actions as Yamamoto 55 did not cause suspicion of the surrounding personnel, because he had made some intelligence presets for this operation before he broke into the enemy. First of all. Yamamoto Fifty-five has a profession such as mechanical maintenance in its auxiliary occupations. Secondly, when Yamamoto Fifty-five joined the group, he has always deliberately shown an unusually high interest in technical equipment. Since the situation has existed from the beginning, even if Yamamoto 55 is particularly interested in certain things in the future, most people will not find it strange, but just think it is a hobby of others. After all, Yamamoto 55 is from This hobby started when they first joined them.

Of course, in fact, Yamamoto 55 does not have any hobbies in this regard, because he doesn't like mechanical things at all. Of course, it can't be said that I don't like it at all. After all, men have some expertise in this area. Therefore, Yamamoto Fifty-Five is just a general hobby, not that he is not completely disinterested. However, for this operation, Masamoto Matsumoto explained some precautions to him before he came. This includes the camouflage of this hobby. Because if a person who is usually not interested in these things suddenly starts to dig into these things one day. Others will certainly find it weird. But if you have always been like this, people will naturally not be surprised, just as a hobby.

The submarine sailed underwater for more than two hours before reaching its destination. Although the speed of this submarine cannot be too fast, this distance is definitely not close, after all, time is there.

Fifty-five Yamamoto followed the submarine with a few people after entering the port, and as soon as this came out, it shook Yamamoto fifty-five, because the port here suddenly became a larger underground than before. port. The space of this port is at least three times larger than that of the previous port. The reason why there is no exact value is because the port as a whole is a u-shaped structure. The position of their shore is at one end of the u and the other end There is a section of rock wall deep into the port in the middle of the port, which prevents the two sides of the port from seeing each other, so Yamamoto 55 is temporarily uncertain about the area of ​​the port on the other side, but at least he knows that part of the area that can be seen so far is already It's four times bigger than the previous one.

Such a large port is really amazing, and because of the reverse water pressure in the underwater port, even such a port does not need any support columns, which makes the span of the internal space look even more exaggerated. Players standing in the middle feel like they are a small ant in a giant stadium. Everything around them looks so big.

In fact, Yamamoto Fifty-five was really not surprised by the area here, but by a large row of strange ships at the edge of the port location on the side where they could not see, just to be seen.

The reason why we are talking about strange ships is that those things can be identified as artificial sailing equipment in the first place, but the problem is that their structure does not look like a submarine. Although the submarine does not have a specific shape standard, at least to resist water pressure, you can't design the submarine too fancy. Moreover, if you want the submarine to sail fast enough, you must also ensure the overall fluid shape, so that drag can be minimized.

However, the ships in front of it seem that although all the external structures have been treated with fluid mechanics, the overall structure of this thing is more like a surface ship than a submarine. However, if these are surface ships, there are two problems with these things. First, the shape of these ships is obviously different from the current mainstream station building design in the game. You can see at a glance that these things are completely different from modern warships. Second, the presence of these ships here is a strange thing in itself. Don't forget that this is not a port on the sea, but a port located underwater. The exits of the port are all underwater, and even the entire cave is actually underwater. How do these surface ships get into such deep-sea bases?

Of course, no matter how those things come in, at least now they are there, and there should be a lot of them, because there are more than a dozen ships in the small area seen by Yamamoto 55 alone. Moreover, Yamamoto Fifty-five was very keen to find that these ships seemed to be all warships. Although the weapons on it looked strange, the shape of the turret was still very clear. .

"Are you looking at those things again?" The player leading the team saw Yamamoto fifty-five looking in a daze, and then kindly reminded: "Don't watch. Those are waste products."

"Scrap?" Yamamoto turned in surprise, looking at it.

It was not the Korean player who just answered him. But another person. This is a Russian player who looks about twenty-six years old, very sunny, handsome, and has the feeling of a white horse prince. And this guy is not a mother at all, showing masculine beauty all over his body. It can be said that this kind of person is the target of men's envy, hate, not knowing rich or not, but this guy is definitely tall and handsome, and can appear in this place, at least not too low.

The man said next to Yamamoto 55: "Those were already there when we found this cave. The preliminary judgment should be some warships. However, I don't know why it won't start, it may be too long and it was scrapped. At first, the ships docked here in a mess, but because it affects the use of normal shipping lanes, we were dragged to the port on that side and sealed up. The port you see now is only ours The side is available. Half of that side is basically all scrapped warships. "

Fifty-five Yamamoto first looked at this guy. Then I asked, "Did you guys not study it?"

The Russian player glanced at Yamamoto fifty-five and said, "How could it not be studied? Isn't this place just doing this? And you should have seen the results?"

"Achievement?" Fifty-five Yamamoto froze a little. Then suddenly came over. "I heard that Ghost Hand Nobunaga had received assistance from a number of super weapons. Is this the research result of this place?"

The Russian player said with a smile: "Your reaction is fast. That's right, the superweapons you heard about are based on the research results of a torpedo-like weapon equipped on those battleships here. But There are very few results that we can put into use today. These things are still just advanced weapons that we don't understand. "

The Russian player nodded and held out his hand and said, "Thank you for your answer. My name is Yamamoto 55, and I have some research on magic technology."

"Hello, I'm Alexander the head of the port."

"Hello." The Russian player asked after saying hello, "Bring me here ...?"

The other said with a smile: "The reason I brought you here is because of the heart of iron stones that you have obtained before, and of course there is another reason is the magic array superposition theory you have said before."

In order for Yamamoto Fifty-five to mix into the other's internals and figure out how to make the blasphemy stone, Masamoto Matsumoto also took great pains. In the past, not only did Yamamoto 55 forge a hobbies, but also found some research results on the super weapon that our guild captured from Nobunaga's hand, and then let Yamamoto 55 All of them were written down, and some special guilds were specially invited to give him guidance on this aspect.

The result of these efforts is that Yamamoto 55 can actually impersonate a researcher of magic technology. Although his research ability is actually very general, if it is a single theory and some research activities, he is actually true. Can temporarily act as a researcher. Of course, the efficiency is certainly not as high as those of professional researchers, but after all, the publicity is hobbies, so the main purpose is to highlight Yamamoto's "fantastic ideas" rather than his ability to operate.

In fact, it was quite normal to have such preparations at first. After all, the purpose of sending Yamamoto Fifty-five this time was to mix in the research base of the other party to find out how to make the stone of blasphemy. Then, at most, Yamamoto Fifty-five can come to this place occasionally. After all, if he is only a combatant, the other party is at most undefended, and it is definitely impossible to bring him to this research institution. In this case, it becomes very difficult to obtain those technologies.

It is precisely because of this reason that Masamoto Matsumoto worked hard to let Yamamoto 55 learn the principles of magic technology and so on, in order to make Yamamoto 55 a research that can be accessed for legitimate reasons. personnel. Moreover, in order to make the other party notice Yamamoto 55, Matsumoto Masaha also specially took out the research results of our guild and showed Yamamoto 55 again, so that Yamamoto 55 can offer some "inspiration" from time to time. , And these inspirations will eventually prove to be very correct. Because that's the research result of our guild, not a simple guess. However, as long as the other party finds that these things proposed by Yamamoto 55 are indeed feasible, they will certainly notice Yamamoto 55 and then start paying attention to him. If it is confirmed that his identity is no problem, and he feels that he can be trusted, then the other party will definitely recruit him as a "genius" to join the research, and once Yamamoto 55 joins the research sequence, he wants to achieve production The method becomes extremely simple.

It can be said that Matsumoto's original design was fully used. Although Yamamoto's fifty-five looks very confused, he has blossomed in his heart. of course. As a semi-professional spy. Yamamoto's fifty-five literacy is still good, so the expression is still seamless, without revealing any slight flaws.

I briefly introduced myself and started paying attention to him, and then Alexander asked Yamamoto 55: "I don't know if you are interested in getting out of the battle player sequence. Join our research group?"

"I……"

Yamamoto just said a word, Alexander said immediately, "Do n’t answer too quickly. You do n’t have to make a decision right now. I ’ll take you around to see the environment here. As for the question of whether you join or not, you can Decide after the visit. In addition, I can guarantee. If you join our research project group, we will guarantee you a stable salary. "

Now that the players of Zero are getting bigger and larger, and many guilds have been commercialized, many guilds have started to pay their members. Of course, this salary is not random. There are generally two types of guilds that really open wages. One is a true commercial guild. These guilds are like previous game studios, and they will specifically look for something to make a profit. Of course, this profit does not mean playing gold coins, and the monsters in "Zero" do not explode gold coins at all. This so-called profit actually refers to making money through mining, tasks, and pure business activities, so the members in these guilds are basically They are the same as professional players in the past in the gaming studio.

In addition to these guilds, there are some payroll guilds that are mainly large guilds, such as our Frost Rose League. However, these guilds pay wages, but not every player. Instead, they pay only senior players or leaders in the guild. The main purpose of this is to keep the strong players in the guild, which is a way to buy people's hearts. Of course, because the benefits of our guild are so good, a large number of people want to come in even if they don't pay, but they have no chance to come in. However, most large guilds still need to rely on wages to win over a large number of experts to maintain their strength. Therefore, payroll is not something that every player can share. On the contrary, such things are rare. After all, no matter whether they are members of professional commercial guilds or masters who have come over from large guilds, they actually have one thing in common: that is, they have specialties. If these people don't have some kind of life occupation, then it must be that the combat effectiveness is very exaggerated, anyway, there must be something extraordinary. However, these strange things are a few people after all, and most players are unlikely to have those capabilities, so naturally they will not be able to qualify for salary.

In the understanding of the other party, Yamamoto Fifty-five had never been paid before. Therefore, Alexander thought that it was still a big temptation to pay Yamamoto 55 at this time.

Yamamoto 55 cannot of course care about this salary, let alone the benefits he received in our guild and the cohesiveness of our guild. The wages we pay alone cannot be too low. Although our bank does not offer wages to every player, but because we have a system such as guild contribution, it is equivalent to wages in disguise. Moreover, our guild will have a special salary to play as a spy to Matsumoto Masa, and the contribution will be very good if we are a spy. If it is not for the sake of confidentiality, we dare not choose the public. The number of places to be a spy in the meeting can be rushed up.

Although he doesn't care about wages, Yamamoto 55 is the time for acting at this time, so he immediately hesitated when he heard the salary, and then asked tentatively: "May I ask if I am Can we do both together? "

"Ah?" Alexander had originally answered Yamamoto 55 and so on, but he did not expect that Yamamoto 55 suddenly asked such a question. But even though he was puzzled, he quickly answered: "It's not impossible to have both sides together, but why do you have such a request?"

Yamamoto Fifty-five said as a matter of course: "Just look at my current account, I know that I really like the" zero "combat system, so if you let me do research every day, it will definitely not work. If I really like to do research every day, then I chose a non-combat character in the first place. How could it become such a profession now? "

"Zero" has a very diversified internal structure because of its design purpose. Many players will feel uncomfortable after entering the game. After all, although battle-type games have a wide audience, it is not 100% covered. For those who do not like to fight and kill, if they are in a world where there is battle. How could that be fun to play? So from the initial selection of characters, players can choose whether they want combat characters or non-combat characters.

Combat characters are like me. Has its own combat capabilities. There are one or more combat occupations as the main occupation, and there are also several non-combat occupations as auxiliary occupations. However, there are certain restrictions on the auxiliary professions of combat players. Leveling will be slower. As for non-combat players, as long as you choose non-combat characters, the occupations you can choose are all life occupations, and they are all equal regardless of the main occupation and sub-vocation. In addition, the types of occupations of these non-combat players are also not limited, which means that in theory you can learn the skills of all non-combat professions at the same time, but because of the problem of leveling speed and investment of money, most people can only take electives. After two or three occupations, after all, most people can understand the principle of gluttony and chew, and they learn too much, and each skill has only one or two levels. Such characters are also wasteful to practice.

In fact, in addition to non-combat players can not learn combat skills, the most important feature is still protected by the system. For example, in the city safety zone, non-combat players may still be killed. However, the penalty for maliciously killing non-combat players is more severe than that of malicious pk ordinary combat players. Not only will it increase the killing of ordinary combat players by more than ten Times the evil value, but also cause a series of attribute changes. At present, one recognized on the forum is that it seems that killing non-combat players will reduce the luck value. Although the value of the luck value does not see the value, when building a character, there is clearly such a property there and many skills. The description will directly tell you that the power of this skill is directly related to the luck value.

In addition, as far as I know, in addition to being directly related to many of the player's combat attributes, the lucky value will also interfere with everything in the game that requires probability calculations. For example, draws, open boxes, choose characters, and what kind of monsters you encounter. In short, this attribute is very important. If this attribute becomes zero, basically if you fight against others, you will definitely lose, and if it is negative Congratulations. Even if no one attacks you, you may somehow die of various accidents. This is not speculation, but has been specially tested by our guild. The conclusion is that the lucky value must be at least a bit. As long as it is not zero, there is no major problem. At most, it is not cheap when it is in probability calculation, but it will not Somehow unlucky. Once it becomes zero, it will be very troublesome, let alone a negative number, let's go to the nearest temple to spend money to apply for a refuge, and then squat inside and wait for your lucky value to come back naturally. He was trampled to death.

After listening to Yamamoto 55, Alexander also understood the meaning of Yamamoto 55. Anyway, it is because people don't like to stay in the research room. Although Yamamoto Fifty-five is also interested in research, they are not the kind of people who can stay in the lab all the time. Generally, they still like to go out.

Alexander does not have much opinion on such a request. As long as he can participate in the research, he does not necessarily need to stay in the laboratory anyway. Anyway, what they see is Yamamoto's fifty-five ideas instead of his hands-on ability. He only needs him. Occasionally come to care about some progress, and then put forward some research directions, etc. It does not need him to be in the laboratory every day.

After thinking about it, Alexander immediately nodded and said, "As long as you can guarantee that you will come to the laboratory for at least sixteen hours a week, I can promise you."

According to the eight-hour work day. Sixteen hours is two days. It only takes two days to work a week, and this requirement is indeed not excessive. And Yamamoto 55 nodded and immediately nodded: "Since this is the case, I can promise you now. But the visit is still necessary, at least I must be familiar with the future working environment!"

After hearing Yamamoto 55, Alexander immediately rejoiced, and then he began to lead Yamamoto 55 to visit this secret base.

In fact, the reason why Yamamoto Fifty-five insisted to come out occasionally is not really like fighting and don't want to stay in the laboratory all the time. Although he did not have much interest in experiments and did not want to stay in the laboratory, this was something that could be overcome for spying. The reason why Yamamoto Fifty-Five will insist not to stay here all the time, in fact, is mainly for spy work.

Obviously, this underwater base has strict security measures and is deep in the ocean floor. Its location is too hidden. The crystal communicator of our guild has a transmission distance limitation. If the distance exceeds a certain range, a relay device is needed, and we are currently setting up a large number of relay devices on several main channels, and the sea surface has not been completely covered, let alone the bottom of the sea. and so. If Yamamoto fifty-five has been here. Even if he got the research data, he couldn't send it at all. This is the root cause of his insistence not to stay in the laboratory uniformly.

Many people may ask. Doesn't Yamamoto have two characters? Since there is a character who is a Chinese player, can I just send the information if I switch between two numbers? In fact, this is simply delusion. Don't think that the magic arrays in the game are very simple things, especially those magic arrays studied in this base. This is not a flat magic array but a three-dimensional three-dimensional magic array. These magic arrays are just like mazes in the eyes of ordinary people. And it's a three-dimensional maze. The structure of a three-dimensional magic array may be complicated enough to draw a paper as large as a room, and the lines on it can be almost described as dense. Do you expect Yamamoto Fifty-five to return to the guild by switching accounts back and forth? What kind of memory can I do? so. The only way to get information is if I really bring things out. Repetition by the player's memory is definitely not the way to go.

Because Yamamoto Fifty-Five had promised to stay, Alexander obviously had a very good attitude towards him, leading Yamamoto Fifty-five to enter the port. As for those who came with Yamamoto Fifty-Five, they were sent away after surrendering the Heart of Iron.

This base is obviously still under the direct supervision of the Russians. There are basically no players in other countries. Those who came to Yamamoto 55 before are Korean players. In this place, they are obviously in a very low status. There is no way to access the core content, and even Japanese players have a much higher status here than Korean players. The treatment of Yamamoto 55 here clearly reflects the gold content of his Japanese identity. Although he must be treated better because he is a technical person that the other party needs to recruit, Japanese players have a higher status here than Korean players. A lot is still obvious.

After coming down from the port and dock, there is a large flat rocky ground. This ground is obviously artificially constructed. It is not only very flat, but also has a special anti-slip texture on the ground. This is obviously not a naturally formed thing.

After crossing the wide and busy pier, I entered the vicinity of the rock wall separating the two sides of the port. Here you can see a row of dozens of huge entrances. After entering the interior from this side, there are some automatics. vehicle. However, these vehicles are obviously left in the ruins instead of Russian man-made, because these vehicles are all in the shape of beetles, and if the Russian players build them themselves, I think these vehicles should be close to those in reality The shape of the truck is right.

After riding in a large beetle-like car, Yamamoto was sent by Alexandria to a large underground passage, but only a small part of the passage was bright, and the sides were dark. Something, even the faint end of the light not far from the left, could still be seen faintly.

Passing through this horizontal aisle is a huge underground space. The area of ​​this space is not very large, but it is very high. There is a man-made room arranged on the wall around the cylindrical cave. It can be seen that the working space here is very large. And because it is arranged vertically, it saves space. However, instead of stopping here, Yamamoto 55, they opened from another exit in this space. Then they passed through several of these spaces one after another, and then they reached a larger vertical space than before.

This seems to be the last space in this place, because there is only one entrance here, and there is another door, but it is obviously blocked by the landslide stones, and it is impossible to pass.

After Alexander stopped the Beatles, he greeted Yamamoto 55 and said, "This place is our research center. When I first found it, nothing was left empty. Apparently the builders evacuated here. It was not very panic here, everything that could be taken away was taken away, and the rest was neatly arranged. But when we came, it was too long. Most things were a touch It's powdered. Basically nothing is caught. "

"That's a pity!" Yamamoto fifty-five deliberately pretended to be very sorry.

Alexander said with a smile: "Anyway, they are picked for nothing. There can be a little bit of it. The battleships and the weapons above are the best delivery. Unfortunately, these things have been protected. And I need you. It is because you can help us to unveil their mysteries. Let us see the true beauty of the beauty under this veil. "

Yamamoto Fifty-five said in a serious manner: "I'm not professional in this. So I can't pack tickets. What I can say is that I will do my best, after all, this is my hobby. As for the permission I said before, I do n’t need to be as exaggerated as you said. I guess I spend most of my time here. And it may be irregular. After all, if I study the key things, I may study one or two at a time. There is no interruption for a week, and if I go out to do a task and encounter a long task, I can't come back immediately! "

Alexander said with a smile: "It's up to you, as long as you can guarantee that on average you can get sixteen hours a week. Our management is relatively relaxed."

Yamamoto nodded at 55: "Are we heading towards the experimental area now?"

Alexander nodded and said, "In fact, this place is an experimental area, but the place I will take you to is dedicated to the complex magic circle."

"That's it." Fifty-five Yamamoto actually wanted to see the production and research site of the Stone of Desecration immediately, but this kind of thing can't be so eager, and the purpose is too strong, and it can be easily exposed.

Alexander didn't answer, but took Yamamoto Fifty-Five quickly to an elevator-like place on the wall and stood up. But ... Speaking of, the research results of the Russians are indeed the reverse engineering research route, because they are not developed step by step, but the reverse dismantling technology, so their technology is partial. Great. The previous three-dimensional mixed magic array has been complicated to that extent, and the elevator used in their laboratory is actually hand-cranked. Although this thing is very labor-saving, after all, people who still need to ride it to shake the handle, which is a rather backward design in itself.

Although I really wanted to talk about this human lift, Yamamoto Fifty-five still put up with it ~ www.readwn.com ~ Followed Alexander up to a certain floor, walked out of the elevator, and then entered a circular corridor. The reason why the corridor is circular is because the corridor is obviously curved, and from the situation previously seen below, the experimental area is located on the inner wall of a vertical cylindrical shaft, so the experimental area It should be a ring structure in itself.

A short walk from here, Alexander pushed open the door, and brought Yamamoto 55 in, and Yamamoto 55 felt that it was messy at first. A huge space several times larger than the lobby of a large movie theater is filled with test benches, and all test benches are filled with a variety of experimental equipment, plus those test benches This pile of waste and experimental materials is not much better than a garbage dump. Compared to the snow-white laboratory in science fiction movies, this is simply the opposite!

"Bakanov, I brought that Yamamoto fifty-five." After Alexander came in, he walked directly toward the largest test bench in the center, while still talking about something. And the guy who was called to this name also heard the voice and looked up at this time, but when Yamamoto fifty-five saw the thing that the guy was holding in his hand, he was trembling, because it was clearly a Blasphemy Stone.

"It's really no effort to step on iron shoes and find nowhere!" Yamamoto said in his heart. (To be continued ...)
