This Game Is Too Realistic

"…We met the people from Vault 404."

In the middle of a pure white room, Horn's face was full of piety.

"oh?"

As if floating from somewhere in the dark, a gentle voice sounded in his ears.

"What kind of people are they?"

Horn answered respectfully.

"They are a group of... very special people. My experience cannot help me make a more specific judgment. They have made an invitation, and I want to send a few people to visit them."

"This is a very silly idea. You need to keep communicating with other survivors. Have you decided on the candidate?"

There was a hint of approval in that voice.

The old man's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and Horn continued to speak in a respectful tone.

"Not yet, but we plan to choose one student and two teachers to go over."

The voice that came to mind seemed to be deep in thought.

After about two or three minutes, it continued talking.

"Let Pai go."

Horn was a little surprised by his mentor's words, but didn't say anything.

"I am willing to follow your teachings."

The old man said respectfully, and after a moment of pause, he continued to express his thoughts.

"The capital of the new alliance is more than 100 kilometers away from us. For security reasons, I would like to apply for a bodyguard."

"Approved, the door will open at 6 o'clock tomorrow." The voice in the darkness answered readily.

Horn shook his head slightly.

"thank."

"You're welcome, go and get ready," the voice continued, "I also have to choose a suitable gift for our neighbor."

The communication is over.

After the voice left, Horn slowly raised his hands, groped around his temples with his index finger for a while, and took off the VR glasses on his head.

The pure white light faded from the surroundings.

At this moment, he was standing in the camp management center.

The door to the shelter will not open easily.

Usually when there are important things to discuss, he would sit in the office like this and use VR equipment to communicate with managers.

After pondering for a moment, Horn reached out and pressed the touch screen on the desktop.

Looking at the communication connected icon, he slowly spoke.

"Let Alvin come to the management center."

"I have something important to discuss with him."

…

"Wasteland OL" official website.

The settlement of the "Knives Out" expansion pack is in full swing.

This battle has been going on for two months, and all the players have gained a lot for a few months. They have accumulated a lot of points and are waiting for them.

The settlement hasn't even started yet, but many people have already posted screenshots on the official website to show off their points balance.

Brother Ice and Fire: "Holy shit, 100,000 points?!"

I'll fight with you: "Did you open something?!"

Luo Yu: "Are you envious? You would trade your life for 㱕. (Proud)"

100,000 points is not the most exaggerated, a certain fat mouse even scored 120,000 points.

The most eye-catching team is probably the Burning Legion, with an average score of nearly 80,000.

Even third-tier corps such as the Silver Corps, which has little sense of existence, has an average score of more than 30,000.

It can only be said that the corps system is indeed the father of the version. If individual players want to get high scores, they can only find another way to "force others to do what is difficult".

But in the corps system, basically as long as there is a big brother in the group to lead the group, and the remaining people don't go too far and don't obey orders and are kicked out of the group, the income will basically not be bad.

Although points cannot be exchanged for silver coins, tasks with points will generally reward silver coins or contributions.

This shows how much "war wealth" they have made!

Shaoyouduzi: "I can't get the average points this time to 20,000."

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Be more confident, I think it is at least 40,000. (Proud)"

Escaped Mole from the Canyon: "I was a little panicked suddenly..."

Macabazi: "Why are you panicking? Isn't it enough to get too many points?"

Canyon Escaped Mole: "No...you can't just look at the problem at face value. More points means more people in the lottery. According to the design of this game's lottery system, the fixed rate is not the explosion rate, but the prize in the reward pool..."

Shaoyou Duzi: "Stop, stop, stop, can you speak human language?"

Canyon Escape Mole: "To put it bluntly, the reward pool may be diluted."

The young boy and Brick: "What the hell?!"

Debt-eyed: "You can't be such a bitch, right?!"

Fang Chang: "You look surprised, as if it's your first day playing this game. (Squints and smiles)"

Just as players were talking about it, Aguang's ID suddenly appeared on the forum.

Looking at the ID of Dog Planner, not only the players got excited, but also the cloud players, spies from various companies from various countries, and the netizens sitting upright.

"Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner Aguang. First of all, please allow me to represent all the developers and wish you all a happy Children's Day!"

"In order to celebrate the festival and to stop our anxiety, we have designed an automatic banana feeding machine... But unfortunately, the company's AA batteries are out of stock, and there is no supermarket here. , we can only solve the problem ourselves.”

"Our Siege Lion is reliable enough. Not only did we successfully make a battery, but we also solved some interesting problems along the way. Hint: It's a layer of film. Everyone unanimously decided that it would be a pity not to use it to earn some money to buy snacks. , so we decided to sell it to the highest bidder!”

"That's it, the auction will start in three days, and the starting price is 1 million silver coins!"

"Getting back to the subject, with the coming of June, the closed beta test server of "Wasteland OL" is about to enter the hot summer. Rainfall will be more frequent, urban areas and forests will be more dangerous, and reptiles and arthropods will usher in a strong period... It should not be there yet. Players explore the southern hemisphere, so this sentence is correct.”

"In addition, I would like to thank everyone for your continued support. The expansion pack has been successfully completed and we have obtained valuable experimental data! Thanks to these data, we have taken a big step forward from the open beta!"

"The boss said we won the lottery. I believe it's not just us, but everyone is the same! Are you excited to see the string of 0's in [the account]? Are you very happy? Haha, I'm as happy as you are!"

"In order to give back to everyone for your continued support, we have prepared generous prizes! From now on, the points lottery and achievement redemption activities are officially launched!"

"Have fun, let's celebrate this victory!"

Immediately after the post was posted, the official website unlocked the lottery system, and the forum was filled with carnival.

100 points are drawn once, 10,000 points are 100 draws in a row!

Although this game is very stingy and does not have a setting of 20 draws for 100 draws in a row, everyone has saved an average of 40,000 points, so it is quite satisfying to finish the draw in one go!

While the players are busy scratching prizes and the cloud players are happily eating melons, the intelligence systems of various countries are also busy peeking at the screen and having meetings. At this moment, they are in a hurry.

Aguang, who had not posted a post for more than two months, re-entered their field of vision.

They said that there is nothing more exciting than this after working hard for several months with no progress!

"The AA batteries are out of stock... An organization that masters mature quantum computer technology will be short of AA batteries?"

"That's not cool!"

"There should be some hidden clues hidden here... What did that Aguang hint to us?"

"Lock down all areas within a 5-kilometer radius that do not exceed the limit!"

"Is it global? That's too much..."

somewhere.

Listening to the discussion of the officials, the man with a Chinese character sighed and closed the note in his hand.

"Is there a possibility...that this person was born weak?"

Everyone in the conference room was stunned for a moment.

The man in police uniform was the first to come to his senses and tapped his index finger on the table.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"

Without enough evidence, any possibility remains.

There are various signs that the man whose existence was erased seems not to be aware of the fact that he was abducted by aliens, or he is aware of it but does not intend to, and has fully accepted this new work.

At this time, the old man sitting at the table suddenly spoke.

"What do you think that membrane could be?"

The man with the Chinese character face was slightly stunned.

"membrane……?"

The old man nodded.

"Didn't they say they solved some interesting problems?"

As he spoke, he looked at the other people in the room and continued to ask.

"Do we have any battery experts here?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The man in the green shirt frowned and said.

"Battery... Our unit purchases batteries from cooperative units. I don't know much about this part."

At this moment, the consultant coming from the other side suddenly opened his mouth.

"He said it could be SEI film?"

The man with the Chinese character "㱕" asked immediately.

"What's that?"

The consultant spoke.

"It's not a rare thing... Simply put, it is the solid electrolyte phase interface, which is equivalent to a passivation layer covering the surface of the electrode material, with a thickness of about 100 nanometers. Taking lithium batteries as an example, the SEI film can Prevents solvent molecules from co-intercalating, allowing lithium ions to pass through and intercalate smoothly, thereby inhibiting the formation of lithium dendrites.”

The old man sitting next to the conference table looked confused.

"Lithium...what?"

He didn't hear it clearly.

As if he didn't expect this reaction, the consultant sighed and continued.

"To put it simply, lithium batteries face a technical difficulty. When lithium ions are reduced, a tree-like metal lithium will be formed. During the charge and discharge process, the electrolyte will be continuously consumed and lead to irreversible deposition of metal lithium. "Dead lithium" is formed, reducing the Coulombic efficiency... and may even cause safety hazards when connecting the positive and negative electrodes. "

In the 1980s, Moli went bankrupt because of this, and was eventually acquired by the electrical giant NEC at the time. It has still not been able to overcome the technical difficulties of metallic lithium anode batteries.

The current mainstream method in the industry is to use carbon-based materials as electrodes, sacrificing battery capacity to ensure safety.

Although the energy tonnage of lithium anode materials is attractive, no one wants to carry a bomb on their body or have a rocket sitting under their butt.

The old man was still thinking that the man with the Chinese character face probably understood, and nodded thoughtfully.

"I probably don't understand what you mean... if you solve that membrane problem, can you increase the energy capacity of the battery?"

A wry smile appeared on the consultant's face.

"That's how you understand... But I still have to emphasize that lithium dendrites are only a technical difficulty in the study of lithium batteries, and SEI films are only one of the solutions to the lithium dendrite problem currently proposed by the academic community." One kind.”

"As for whether it is useful and how to use it... these are all controversial. At present, the mainstream research direction is to build houses and the other is to build walls. Maybe both are right, maybe neither is right."

Sitting aside, I asked you curiously, "What do you mean it's all wrong?"

The consultant answered succinctly.

"It means that not all questions can be answered by [Biao]."

The old man suddenly opened his mouth.

"How much can this membrane... increase the energy tonnage of the battery?"

The consultant took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued talking.

"...Look at what battery it is compared with. According to the development plan for power batteries in the white paper we released, the goal in 2025 is to reach 400Wh/kg, and the goal in 2030 is 500Wh/kg. I don’t know much about batteries, but this The data should be based on the opinions of experts in academia and industry.”

"If the graphite anode of a lithium battery can be replaced with pure lithium, the energy tonnage should theoretically be an order of magnitude higher."

"An order of magnitude?!" A surprised expression appeared on the man's face wearing a police uniform.

Not just him, everyone in the conference room had surprised expressions on their faces.

Just listening to the numbers doesn’t make any sense.

But once they had a reference for comparison, they immediately understood the value of this technology.

The consultant continued.

"It's about one to two thousand 㱕, which is an order of magnitude higher. As for the specific number... you'd better go to the industry and find an expert to ask."

The man in the green shirt suddenly stood up.

"I'll call my work unit."

The old man sitting at the conference table nodded, his expression serious.

"Go ahead."

For a time, scenes similar to this were being played out all over the world in the real world.

This is not a thousand-word "Developer Diary". It has been studied over and over again by major organizations and intelligence agencies no less than 1,000 times, even the punctuation marks are not missed.

In the end, most intelligence agencies came to a guess-this may be an enlightenment signal released by extraterrestrial intelligence.

As we all know, one of the three pillars of modern science and technology is energy.

If this mysterious website really comes up with technology far beyond the current era, it will undoubtedly provide favorable evidence for the "Third Kind of Contact" conjecture.

After all, any technology is inseparable from the support of the scientific research system and cannot appear out of thin air.

While players are busy scratching prizes, the silver coin consignment platform has quietly become busy.

Although we don’t know what the official website of “Wasteland OL” plans to auction in three days, it’s always good to prepare in advance.

For things like "foreign exchange", you can't wait until you need to figure it out.

There are only so many transactions on the platform every day. This is not a question of a buyer's market or a seller's market, but that there are not that many silver coins to buy in the pool.

Players need silver coins to update equipment, eat, sleep and even take a shower.

Yes.

According to the information they received from snooping on the official website, this crappy game even costs money to take a shower.

"Xie Te... do these lucky people know what they are doing?"

Fike, who was staring at the string of numbers on the computer screen and crossing his arms, couldn't help but cursed with envy.

Just half an hour ago, their project team received a batch of funds.

Although the money is not in their pockets, it is still okay to improve their working environment and life "within a reasonable range."

Part of this money comes from allocations from official agencies.

But most of them come from giants who are consistent with the official position.

After all, the government itself does not produce anything, and it is useless to obtain the technology. In the end, it has to be handed over to companies or individuals, allowing them to register patents, expand production, form a monopoly, and grab other people's cakes.

This is also the rule of the game in the real world.

"The worst thing they can do is never know!"

"Indeed, of course, the fewer people who know the truth, the better it is... Where can we get such cheap silver coins?" The intelligence officer standing aside smiled and teased.

The man on the side clenched his fists and stared at the computer screen to encourage himself.

"Buy it quickly! Damn it, why can't this trading volume keep increasing? You can't even sell a silver coin for 8 US dollars?!"

The trader sitting in front of the computer looked solemn and analyzed.

"I'm afraid it's not a matter of price...the proportion of players holding US dollar and cryptocurrency accounts is too small! There is a certain threshold for foreign exchange transactions. Many people don't do it because they are afraid of trouble, so they simply screen out uncommon currencies. ”

"More than that, some of Mijie's small orders clearly don't behave like players... more like speculators who are not directly involved in the game."

"In other words, we didn't get any of those big orders worth more than 1,000 silver coins!"

Not only players can participate in the silver coin trading platform, cloud players can not only trade, but can even indirectly participate in in-game investments through agreement holdings.

When the former silver coin trading platform first came out, many people hoarded a bunch of silver coins.

Now suddenly someone is buying a lot of money, and these retail investors who can't figure out the situation immediately cash out and leave the market.

Thanks to these guys for contributing cheap chips.

The real auction will be held in three days. The further you go, the more intense the competition will be, and the price of silver coins will probably be even more exaggerated...

The intelligence officer standing nearby looked solemn.

"We still have to find a way to open an RMB account with clean funding sources!"

Damn, why is it so troublesome? !

Fick couldn't help but kick the table.

"Farke!"

…

There is one thing that Fick did guess right.

Most of the accounts currently selling on the silver coin trading platform are indeed cloud players.

As for why players did not participate, it was not entirely due to account issues.

The bottom line is that everyone was busy scratching prizes at the moment and didn't even notice it.

Many big money players directly drew 10 100s in a row, and the computer screen was filled with golden light.

Each prize has a corresponding card.

Even if you skip the lottery animation and go through each prize, it still takes a lot of time.

Not to mention taking a screenshot of a big prize and showing it off on the forum, or scolding the mastermind in a small group if you get a piece of rubbish.

Communication section for closed beta players.

Many people have already taken screenshots and posted them, starting to share the joy of winning with everyone.

"Wait a minute, what the hell is the arms gift package? Which of you got it?"

"The introduction says that they are weapons and supplies of varying amounts, which can be used for trade with other NPC forces, sold to newcomers, or used by yourself... Is this actually a trophy?"

"I understand everything, but why do you have to draw again after drawing a prize once?"

"I also got...a Ripper rifle?"

"What kind of Russian matryoshka doll is this?"

"Hahaha, I drew ten!"

“Awesome!!”

The Ripper rifle is a cannon fodder weapon of the Legion. It is characterized by a long and hard barrel, with a total length of nearly two meters with a bayonet attached.

This thing also has a name on the forum, called Salted Fish Spike.

Apart from saving bullets and not jamming, this equipment basically has no other advantages.

When it comes to bayonet fighting in the trenches, an assault rifle with a relatively compact design like the LD-47 is more handy, and a long weapon must be used.

However, due to the large enough quantity, the bullets of the Ripper rifle are far more powerful than the company's "Black Swan", so this weapon is very popular in many survivor gathering places.

After all, automatic rifles cannot be installed on a large scale in all survivor settlements.

Although these arms cannot be sold for much in the new alliance, if they are dragged to a distant survivor settlement and sold, and then the local specialties are brought to the new alliance, they should be able to make a lot of money.

Overall, this "munitions gift package" is much more expensive than a consolation prize.

Of course, the new tricks planned by the dog are just an appetizer. What the players really care about is the top prize in the reward pool.

Although not everyone has the opportunity to become the European Emperor, it is good to be able to breathe European energy.

It's a closed beta test.

You should take testing as your guide, and it is normal to have a little less equipment.

Once the open beta is released, everyone will be able to play it sooner or later!

Under the spotlight, the first European Emperor of this expansion pack lottery was finally born.

Commander Quanshui: "Holy shit! The Destroyer I exoskeleton! There is a 120mm caliber mortar on the back... Damn it?! This equipment explodes!"

Probably being carried away by the excitement, Brother Quan Shui forgot to keep a low profile this time.

I just didn’t stop showing off, but I also posted screenshots and acceptance speeches, sharing the joy of becoming the European Emperor with everyone.

However……

There was no joy.

The post went viral instantly.

The edge of the water: "Fuck! Why the hell is it you again!"

The mole is on the run in the canyon: "The European Emperor like a dog! Go to hell!"

Quit smoking: "A shady story! Absolutely a shady story!"

Commander Quan Shui: "What a shady guy! I have 120,000 㵑, why can't I win! 1,200 consecutive draws, brother!"

However, this statement obviously cannot convince the public.

The salted fishes don’t care about that much.

Qin Yin's father: "I'm sorry, this guy's coin is 120,000 㵑, why the hell do I only have 30,000?"

Garbage Picking Level 99: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Lao Wang next door: "Support! Raise your hands to support!"

Commander Quanshui suddenly panicked and quickly deleted the post, but it was too late.

Screenshots of the equipment are uploaded everywhere on the official website.

According to the information shown in the screenshot, the Destroyer I exoskeleton is larger than the Type 6 "Heavy Cavalry" exoskeleton, almost catching up with the power armor.

Unlike the Type-6 exoskeleton, the Destroyer I-type armor does not focus on the protection of small weapons, but focuses more on the protection of explosion fragments and shock waves.

Specifically, the inner side of the exoskeleton's armor is filled with a thick layer of cushioning material, so it looks quite bloated.

The 120mm mortar behind the back needs to support the ground with both hands like a run-up when deployed, and cannot move.

Since it is equipped with an automatic loading system, in theory, as long as there are enough artillery shells, only one can be deployed to project a large amount of firepower to the target area in a short period of time.

It is equivalent to an "all-terrain" self-propelled mortar that can drive into small alleys.

It can be called an artifact for street fighting!

However, because the equipment is too bulky, the chemical energy battery is bulky, and the ammunition rack is external, it is not suitable for frontal battlefields.

It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is full of flaws and would be quite embarrassing if someone touches it.

The players of the Storm Corps all said that if this old Goubi got this kind of Goubi equipment, he would probably have to go out of his way to survive.

But there is one thing to say.

It would be extremely useful to have a round of close fire support before the attack.

This is not the only new piece of equipment in the reward pool.

There are ten official jackpots prepared by the game this time, and half of them have never appeared before.

As for the exoskeleton carrying the mortar, it's not the most awesome.

After all, this kind of equipment can only be used in specific situations, and ammunition is also a problem.

In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it is not necessarily better than the "Five Type" light cavalry.

"Plasma knife! That's awesome! I'm going to be a warrior now!"

"Magnetic slingshot...is this thing useful? Is it useful for hunting birds?"

"Portable jetpack... If you don't understand, just ask, are you planning to let me go up to the sky and be used as a target?"

"Hahahaha, you can discuss it with the guy upstairs. You can be a bird."

"..."

The school computer room.

Browsing the posts on the official website forum, Ye Wei was filled with envy.

Gan!

He also saved hundreds of thousands of points, but why couldn’t he win the SSSR?

It's absolutely impossible to be beaten by a dog!

But it doesn’t really matter.

People can't be too greedy.

His income from the expansion pack is far more than that point. Even if he is really outweighed, there is nothing to complain about.

The construction of the new map Dawn City has just started, and Niuma Brick Factory's orders have been scheduled until the end of the year, and it is now expanding production frantically.

Not only bricks, but also cement are all within their business scope.

Although many competitors have emerged in Dawn City recently to grab business, they are not comparable in scale to "refuge holding" companies like them.

Cutting out from the section for closed beta players, Ye Wei browsed the chat section for a while, wanting to see what the cloud players were talking about.

When he saw the first post, he laughed.

"...The price of silver coins has increased?"

Are you kidding me?

It's not that the price of silver has never risen before, but it usually rises when expansion packs or new gameplay are first launched, and it's impossible to rise when expansion packs end.

The remaining profits from the expansion pack have just been settled. Now everyone's pockets are filled with silver coins. There is no need to change equipment for the time being. Even the rich will not spend money at this time.

It makes no sense at all!

Not to mention that in the first few battles, the expansion packs spent money like crazy, and a few big players shipped goods every day to "improve life." The transaction price of silver coins dropped to single digits in the past few days.

"Haha, I want to see how high it can go."

Out of curiosity, Ye Wei casually opened the silver coin trading desk and took a look.

It didn't matter, he was stunned on the spot.

"What the hell?!"

Eight dollars a silver coin? !

He confirmed several times that the order hanging above was a buy order, not a sell order.

And there's not just one.

A total of ten buying orders, each buying one hundred thousand silver coins, were lined up with a price difference of one dollar!

The one at the top has been 40% filled, and the buy orders listed at $7 and $6 have not yet started to be filled. After all, the buy order with the highest listed price has not yet been filled.

Not only the U.S. dollar, but also RMB, euro, and other currencies have buy orders on it.

Each bid is outrageous!

As if overnight, it was back to the time when the silver coin trading platform had just been launched.

"Are these people crazy?!"

Looking at the 52RMB pending order, Ye Wei felt his heart beat faster and sweat broke out in his palms holding the mouse.

His first reaction was to take advantage of the situation and smash the market!

Hurry up and ship now!

There is no shop like this after passing this village!

However, this thought only stayed in his mind for half an hour before he calmed down.

This is a bit strange!

The entire trading platform was completely blocked by buy orders, and not even a single sell order could be seen.

Who is spreading the money?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Wei resisted the urge to ship, grabbed the mobile phone on the table, tapped the screen with his fingers at the speed of light, and sent a message to the brothers in the cattle and horse group.

"quick!"

"Look at the silver coin trading desk!!!"
