  Chapter 194 The incredible slime mold

The planting area on the B3 layer.

The last row of the soilless planting unit.

Standing in front of a transparent window, Chu Guang right hand touched the chin, and his handsome face was full of surprises.

"Potatoes, corn, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, cabbage...didn't expect there are so many good things hidden here."

I originally planned to come and take a look at the planting area. The situation, didn't expect after walking around the planting unit, unexpectedly found a surprise here.

Behind the transparent display window, there are boxes with only labels on them, which store seeds of different varieties.

These seeds are soaked in a special solution and stored at a very low temperature.

Chu Guang counted carefully. There are 12 kinds of pre-war crops stored in the freezer. The growth period ranges from short to long, and the suitable climate ranges from tropical to frigid zones, almost completely covering them.

Regardless of the resident of the refuge, after the gate of the refuge is opened, what kind of climate environment they are facing, they can find at least one species suitable for the current climate for sowing.

Apart from this, these seeds are also genetically modified and improved varieties, which are roughly similar to the β-712 cotton seeds he had previously opened out of the blind box.

Quietly following the manager, looking at the interesting expression on his face, Makabazi said excitedly.

"Master manager, I think we should make use of these idle facilities!"

Chu Guang nodded said.

"You are right, I do have this plan."

Hearing these words, Macabazi, who was standing next to him, looked expectant, but waited until the manager turned and left. , He didn't wait for the words in anticipation.

After blinking awkwardly, he quickly lowered his head and glanced at VM.

Huh?   Why didn't the task be triggered?

Is the posture that triggers the dialogue wrong?    ……

The soilless planting unit in the planting area, sowing, watering, fertilizing and final harvesting can all be completed through preset procedures.

In a sense, similar to the black box production method, the demand for manpower and planting experience is extremely low.

With such a highly automated facility, there is no need to leave it to players to take care of. Chu Guang intends to hand it over to Xiao Qi.

Too much manual participation will actually drag down the efficiency of the facility.

In terms of production thinking, Chu Guang plans to focus on the breeding of staple grain varieties with a longer growth period, supplemented by planting short-period crops such as cabbage.

When the next spring begins, the seeds of the staple food crops will come in handy.

"50 planting units, the theoretical planting area adds up to only 50 acres... still a little bit less."

Even if one acre of intensive cultivation can feed 5 people, 50 acres of land The output is enough to feed 250 people, not even enough to cover the new players in the Alpha0.9 version.

Every time he thinks of this, Chu Guang feels puzzled.

"This is very unreasonable. The planting area of ​​the refuge can't even support the evacuees on this floor. Do people here eat nutrient cream?"

It's so miserable.

Or to say...

Is there any other secret?

In any case, food is a big problem.

In addition to food, his little players also need fur coats to withstand the severe cold. Although the blue jacket has the function of keeping warm, it is only for the general cold. This winter in Qingquan City, the lake has even been showing signs of freezing, which obviously cannot be described by ordinary cold.

Compared with the training cabin, the supply of materials needed by a player is a problem that needs to be solved more urgently now.

The more troublesome thing is that it will be December, and Winter has already entered the Gao Dynasty, and I am afraid that everyone will not have much food.

Brown Farm can no longer squeeze any oil and water, and there are no survivors' settlements with relatively high food production in the vicinity.

The only thing you can count on is the greenhouse ruins.

I hope Mr. Macabazi can give a little bit of strength.

Some time has passed, and I don’t know what happened to his cornfield.

After leaving the planting area, Chu Guang turned around and went to the next infirmary to see what his newly recruited bioengineering experts were up to.

Due to the frequent onlookers and harassment of the players, the door here seems to be locked by her.

Although for Chu Guang, the doors from B1 to B3 are like decorations to him, he still politely presses the doorbell because of his high EQ.

The doorbell rang.

It opened soon.

Passing through the infirmary, Chu Guang went straight to the room inside.

Judging from the equipment here and the layout of the house, it should be a medical laboratory.

When he walked through the movable door, Heya, wearing a blue jacket, was standing in front of an electronic Microscope, pointing her eyes at the observation port, and her right hand was proficient in manipulating the buttons on the touch screen. .

Standing by and observing for a while, Chu Guang asked with interest.

"What is this?"

Heya, whose hands kept moving, her eyes stuck to the eyepieces, said excitedly.

"Mutated slime mold! Samples collected from the eater! Thanks to your wanjias...should it be said that? Anyway, please thank them for me!"

It seems that she is already fully familiar with the players' usage, although she has not yet been fully accustomed to their enthusiasm.

Chu Guang is very pleased with this.

It would be great if all his NPCs had such a high perception, in that case, his micromanagement could at least be more than doubled.

"I will convey my gratitude for you. How is it? Can you see something?"

Different from the shelter residents who have lived in the wasteland for a while Heya had been in Refuge No. 117 before. Although she had heard about the dangerous species that were active outside, she had never really come into contact with it.

The manager of Refuge No. 117 is a relatively conservative leader and does not support taking samples from the waste soil back to the refuge at the risk of unbalanced ecological environment in the refuge.

Chu Guang doesn't have so much scruples. Refuge No. 404 has been opened long ago, and he has no plans to seal the gate completely. It is not bad at all.

Therefore, when he heard that Heya was planning to list the alien species in the wasteland as the research object, he immediately agreed without saying a word, and even allocated a budget of 2000 Silver Coin to her.

Even if you can learn more about the weaknesses of some aliens, the money is definitely worth it.

"More than just seeing what, these samples have subverted my first impression of them! At first I thought that these mutant slime molds and the alien species that you call gnaws and creepers are parasitic Relationship, but later I found out that it is not like this."

Upon hearing this sentence, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.

This is completely different from the rumors he has learned.

"...isn't it?"

Heya staring at the Microscope without the slightest hesitation.

"Of course not! Gnaws, crawlers, and martyr The fruit body of the mutant slime mold is not another species!"

After hearing a word that he didn't understand at all, Chu Guang asked in a daze.

"Fruit body? What is that?"

"A spore-forming structure! You may not know about slime mold organisms, their habits are very special, sometimes Crawling on the ground like an amoeba, and sometimes stand up like a mushroom to release spores. The habits of this mutant slime mold are even more peculiar. The fruit bodies they form are different from other slime molds in shape and behavior. It actually shows a high degree of similarity to higher animals with complex body structures and highly differentiated organ functions!"

That beautiful face is full of scientific enthusiasm.

Even though the Microscope eyepieces blocked her eyes, Chu Guang could clearly feel that her body exuded a completely different temperament from usual.

Chu Guang said cautiously.

"Can you explain it in detail? I mean, try to use terms that laymen can understand."

"The layman's terms are that these sticky Bacteria show the same sociality as ants and bees! They have a clear division of labor, some form toes, some form heads, some actively necrosis and sclerosis, and the other forms nerve tissue and muscles that affect the movement of limbs! A certain unified consciousness determines the selective expression of each gene in the slime mold cells."

Eyes removed from the Microscope's eyepieces, Heya looked towards Chu Guang with excitement.

"Have you not noticed! The gnaws are completely reproduced after a human model, and the crawlers are like a combination of four-legged beasts and humans. They not only imitate Imitated the appearance of other creatures, and also imitated the hunting habits of those creatures!"

"The martyrdom is strange, it seems to contain the characteristics of a variety of creatures and some plants, and it simulates explosions in the way of attack. You can help others to catch their prey through self-sacrifice... This is incredible! Are these slime molds really creatures on this planet?"

Looking at Heya, who is chattering constantly, Chu There are weird expressions on Guang's face.

He was only planning to let her take care of the crops next door part-time. Anyway, the soilless planting units are highly automated, and only need to take a glance occasionally.

As a result, didn't expect, I actually heard something amazing from her.

"You mean... the gnawing, creeping, and martyred slime mold species are all fruiting bodies of mutant slime mold? Is it something that releases spores?"

Chu Guang pressed his temple with his index finger, and after trying to understand, his brow frowned, "That's not right, I heard that they were produced by a mother's nest."

"Mother's nest? That's it. What is it!"

Heya grabbed Chu Guang's arm and said with piercing eyes, "Can you get a sample? By the way, you taught me that you can use VM..."

Halfway through, Heya seemed to remember something, and released her hand holding Chu Guang's arm, and raised the VM to prepare to "place an order."

Chu Guang was taken aback by her actions and quickly stopped her.

"Don't get excited, the brood is not something that the current players can solve. You are letting them die."

Good guy.

Is this the VM as a wishing machine? !   Even if his little player is easy to use, it is not so useful!   Heya, who was stopped, was slightly at a loss, and her hand stopped.

"Is that brood... difficult to deal with?"

"It's not a difficult question anymore, but it can't be dealt with at all."

Although according to the standards set by him, this kind of task would not pass the trial at Xiao Qi, Chu Guang felt that he still had to let this old popsicle who lacked common sense of the wasteland understand what this world has become.

Looking at Heya who was stunned, Chu Guang paused for a moment, and gave her the information he summarized under the relevant entries in the official website setting collection one after another.

This among which is included Luo Hua’s experience during the trip, including the "waves" that erupt every once in a while in Qingquan City.

After listening to these amazing things, Heya finally has a general understanding of the dangers of the brood.

This thing is extremely dangerous!

It's like a natural disaster.

Even the old local survivor forces with certain industrial capabilities like Boulder City will find it difficult to face the wave set off by the brood.

As for the collection of samples from the brood and the current conditions of the shelter, it is almost impossible to do.

"Sorry, I don't know... This turns out to be such a dangerous thing." A look of ashamed appeared on Heya's face.

Chu Guang shook his head and said.

"It's okay. I was surprised when I first heard about the brood. Research on alien species can be done step by step. When we are able to solve the trouble in the city center, I promise You will get the samples you want."

Although this condition is not yet available, Chu Guang has no doubt that he and his little players will one day be located in the city center. The trouble is completely eradicated.

Anyway, I got interesting information from Heya.

Chu Guang intends to update this information selectively in the official website setting set for his little players as a reference.

……

The end of a busy day.

The little players carrying javelins, lances, and axes, drilled out from the depths of the tunnel on the B3 floor with unconsciousness.

In one day, they successfully pushed the front to the south and north at the same time by 500 meters, killing nearly two thousand eater! Hundreds of martyrdoms, and nearly twenty creepers!    The number of alien species in the tunnel is larger than expected, especially in the north direction, the gnawing people swarming, even forming a wave of corpses!

However, the little experienced players are very clever. Wooden roadblocks are placed along the way to block the advancement of the eater, and at the same time stretch the team of the eater.

Once the density cannot be formed, the eater will be less terrifying.

To deal with this kind of alien species with a single attack method and relying on quantity to win, as long as it is not surrounded by them, even professional players who are not good at fighting can easily solve it.

Not to mention those high players in the tunnel with an average level above LV6! In the    refuge, long lines have lined up at the bathroom entrances on the B2 and B3 floors, and the voices of chirp chirp twitter twitter are noisy.

"Gan! Take a shower in front of you faster!"

"That's right! Ditch a yo-yo! It's been ten minutes!"

"!!! Are you all dogs? You don’t need to take a bath for ten minutes?!"

"It is strongly recommended to increase the water price!"

"Don’t increase it, increase it again, Boss will not be able to wash it Take a shower!"

"Go away!"

Yin Fang, who was carrying a bucket, planned to wash up before eating, but was shocked by the battle. He didn't even dare to eat food, so he hid in his makeshift laboratory.

The same goes for the door of the laundry room.

Especially the little players who got out of the tunnel, one or two of them are like going into a coal mine, they have more dust than blood!

Finally squeezed out of the crowd.

Ye Shi, who was planning to go back to the room and offline, happened to see Brother Mosquito. Seeing that this guy looked like a covered in dirt, he went to the ground and said hello.

"Yo! Old Brother, mosquitoes, are you in the mood to download your books today?"

"What are you downloading, I made this for testing new equipment."

"Blow up again?"

Hearing this playful ridicule, the mosquito couldn't help rolling the eyes.

"What does it mean to explode again! Can it be called a weapon if it is not exploded? In short, the results of the test today are not bad, but there is a small problem with the ratio of the propellant. The face is gray, shit, I have to change the launch tube to a longer length."

paused, the mosquito looked towards Ye Shi continued.

"Stop bullshit, did you see that stupid lizard? Why didn't you see that guy squatting on a corner to do push-ups today."

Speaking of that lizard, night Ten suddenly became happy.

"You said that guy? Hahaha, he was crazy in the tunnel at the exit of B3! I guess it's not enough right now."

I want to be a few earlier. In the version, Brother Trash is called a blast, he can act at night in the whole server, devour raw meat and fowl, tearing alien species, all players are envious of it.

However, who would have thought that winter will come in less than a month, and the cold-blooded garbage brother will be directly frozen on the underground line, even the door of the refuge can't get out.

It is really a generation of generations of gods, I only see the new people laugh, not the old people cry.

The mosquito slapped his tongue.

"Distressed brother Trash, this guy has at least three versions of OB, right?"

Ye Shi also sighed with emotion.

"Be confident and remove the word'ba'!"

The night of the wasteland is getting darker, and the realistic morning sun has already risen.

Every time at the peak time when players are offline, the traffic on the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" will usher in a wave of small highs.

Chu Guang took a look at the forum.

I found that the players were quite enthusiastic about the new version he launched.

In less than 72 hours, more than one hundred strategies have been born.

"The self-cultivation of a monster hunter!" Single brush crack claw crab strategy! "

"The Scavengers Handbook!" The host vomits blood to sum up, twenty cost-effective recycling materials! Just ask for a thumbs up! "

"The Son of Version is Born!" The power scavengers tell you what it means to make miracles vigorously! Start with two hands, all equipment depends on picking up! "

"Guide to the entrance and exit tunnels on the B3 floor of Refuge No. 404!" The four physique perpetual motion machine styles will take you out of the sky! Brush to monster and extinct! "

"..."

Chu Guang simply read a few articles and couldn't help but admire the wisdom and brains of these little players.

What is a high-quality human player?   The average level in the wasteland OL test service!    The enthusiasm of the people who wrote the strategy is very high, and the enthusiasm of the lively players, cloud players, and sand sculpture netizens is not small.

Of these more than one hundred guides, the ones who liked and replies were more than 20%!   In terms of BBS standards, this data is already quite exaggerated.

However, it is not the guide posts that interest Chu Guang the most, but the few high-profile posts in the discussion forum.

WC really has mosquitoes: "MMP! The formidable power of the twelve-barreled rocket is enough, but the rate of ejection is still a bit low! The high-speed target can't be hit at all! But it is unexpectedly useful for ground targets "

Old Bai: "How much?"

WC really has mosquitoes: "80 silver!"

Ye Shi: "Hey, you sell it It’s more expensive than the Iron Fist in the NPC store. Why don’t I buy an Iron Fist? Even cracked claw crabs can be fried in the past. (Funny)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! This is! It’s already a cost price!"

Fang Chang: "Brother, think of a way to reduce costs, or it’s always a dream if it’s not practical. By the way, the number of players is coming up and it’s time to expand. The scale of production."

WC really has mosquitoes: "The brain hurts! I will think of a way!"

Old Bai: "Tell me not to work hard to set up anti-aircraft rocket launchers. Not to mention the guidance, even the proximity fuze is not adjusted, you defend a ball. It is better to get the SPG-9 recoilless gun out, the air defense effect may be more reliable than your jab. (Squint)"

Ye Shi: "+1, give me an elevation angle, I can even get off the plane with the main gun of the tank. (Funny)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Take you! When playing battlefield!"

Chu Guang actually doesn't quite understand the violent aesthetics in the mind of mosquitoes.

This guy is actually very capable. At least half of the credit for the outpost's ability to get out chemical industry products and explosives such as nitrocellulose and TON so quickly.

However...

The weapons made by this guy always have a strange style of painting, and the practical can be counted on one's fingers.

Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, Chu Guang feels that if he wants to fill the gap in the outpost's anti-aircraft weapons, he can't count on it for 80%.

In another post that is slightly less popular than the mosquito man, [Yaer, I want to go to the toilet cable] and [Ward athlete's foot, who Levin] are playing with some special tortured cloud players Technical communication.

Brother Shuo: "It is still a bit difficult to imitate the 88 gun. Although the design drawings and videos can be searched, and the parts can be cut out with the black technology of the refuge, many problems still cannot be solved. Especially for the barrel, if you want to increase the muzzle velocity of the shell, you must increase the charge so that the barrel can withstand greater chamber pressure!"

Brother Levine: "Yes, and the development of new equipment is really too good. Fuck costs money! 500Silver Coin is not even enough for R&D costs, at least another 0 has to be added!"

The high R&D costs are indeed a problem.

Chu Guang, who stared at the computer screen, thought for a moment, switched to the desktop, and opened the budget form.

"For large-scale equipment research and development with high production thresholds and large expenditures, it is not appropriate to let players bear the research and development costs."

Chu Guang thought for a while, and thought idea.

He intends to set up a special fund to support the research and development of new equipment. As long as they pass the review, they can get financial support.

As for the air defense weapon project of No. 81 Steel Plant...

Chu Guang thought for a moment and made a decision.

"The budget of 5000 Silver Coin seems too deliberate, so I changed it to... 5500 Silver Coin. That's good. If the follow-up is not enough, you can increase it."

"The original mission remains unchanged. , The new task will be re-released in the form of a'exclusive order'."

As for the mosquitoes...

Just let him figure it out for a while.

If Brother Mosquito can come up with a reliable design plan, Chu Guang will certainly support him with a R&D budget.

So far, Chu Guang hasn’t understood for the time being, what exactly he intends to make... -    (Recovering Riwan’s X day, I feel a bit confused about his work and rest , I’ll adjust, I’m sorry that there is only one update today. But this chapter also has 6K, equivalent to two chapters 3K? It shouldn’t be considered degenerate.)   (End of this chapter)
