This Game Is Too Realistic

"Have you met the manager?"

"Yes."

In the wilderness in the northern part of Xizhou City, a few wolf howls can be faintly heard in the distance.

Standing next to the simple tent, Xavier held the phone in his hand, his expression full of respect.

The person talking to him at this moment was none other than Sigma, the uncrowned king of the Bugla Free State and the president and chairman of the Firestone Group.

After briefly asking about the manager's situation, Sigma continued to ask about what he was most concerned about.

"Where's Dillon."

Xavier said in a deep tone.

"Dillon...is dead."

There was a brief silence on the communication channel.

Sigma asked slowly.

"How did you die?"

Xavier answered truthfully.

"The New Alliance people said that he died on the battlefield and was buried in a trench near the pine forest..."

Xavier's mood was filled with tension when he said these words.

Although the Great Rift Valley is the sect of the Bugla Free State, the Legion is an important trading partner of the Firestone Legion.

He didn't know what agreement the boss had reached with the Legion, but his intuition told him that Dillon's identity should not be simple.

Fortunately, the boss was a reasonable person and did not take his anger out on him.

After taking a moment to calm down, the voice on the other end of the communication channel continued to ask.

“…trade agreement?”

Xavier said ashamedly.

"We haven't reached an agreement... They only agreed to give us certain concessions on tariffs, and only for non-arms products. As for exploration rights and mining rights, they don't plan to talk to us."

"How strong are they?"

There was a hint of sharpness in that voice, like a razor blade showing its edge.

Xavier's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and spoke cautiously.

"They have about two thousand-man troops. They are not many in number, but their individual strength is very strong. The other one is the Wu clan. Although their equipment is not advanced, they are sufficient in number and the design is very special... The Ya clan lost. No injustice.”

The other end of the communication channel was silent for a while.

Seemingly lost in thought.

After a long time, his boss slowly spoke.

"I understand. Come back first. I have other tasks for you."

Xavier felt relieved and said respectfully.

"As commanded."

…

Three days have passed since the auction ended.

The real world.

A certain laboratory at the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was working.

"...How...is this done?"

Staring at the pictures on the computer screen, Academician Liu Yiping's face was filled with expressions of disbelief.

A soft human SEI film with a thickness of less than 100 nanometers is like a magical barrier.

Yes.

That series of magical properties is simply like magic.

It has extraordinary mechanical strength, high stability and a single ion channel.

The high electronegativity of the open metal sites in the coordination polymer channel can effectively improve the transfer number of Li+ in the composite membrane and the conductivity of a single ion channel.

This series of exquisite designs enables it to effectively suppress the production of side reactions, adjust the deposition pattern of Li+ on the negative electrode, effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, and thus maintain the stability of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery.

It’s incredible!

"...Professor, the data analysis results from the charge-discharge cycle group have come out." A researcher wearing glasses walked over, with the same expression as if he had seen a ghost on his face with dark circles under his eyes.

Withdrawing his gaze from the screen, Professor Liu Yiping looked at his study and said immediately.

"Bring it to me quickly!"

"Here..." The researcher handed over the USB flash drive.

Three days is certainly not enough time for the entire research team to read all the documents.

However, it was completely enough for them to use the most advanced equipment to restore the [SeI membrane of Person No. 404] in the laboratory according to the method given in the information.

After the membrane is produced, the next step is to test the performance of the membrane.

The scientific research dogs in the project team quickly produced a simple lithium battery model, using lithium sheets as the negative electrode.

These materials are not difficult to obtain. The most indispensable thing in the entire laboratory is electrochemistry-related things.

After dismantling the bagged batteries after the cycle and transferring them under non-air conditions through a transfer box, they quickly obtained a 3D image of the sample surface under a scanning electron microscope and a 2D projection under a transmission electron microscope. .

Everything is done to get more information about the membrane.

These tasks may sound simple, but in fact they took a lot of time.

During these three days, his research team did nothing and devoted all their energy to those 10 gigabytes of data.

In fact, after achieving such results, there is no need to continue the project they worked on before...

Plugging the USB flash drive into the computer and looking at the images on the screen, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Academician Liu Yiping's face.

He pinched his sore eyebrows and muttered those words over and over while sitting on the office chair.

"...How is it done?"

The researcher standing aside did not speak, and it was obvious that he also wanted to ask this question.

Three days ago, when they first got that information, everyone in the entire project team thought it was a joke.

An unresolved question in academia.

Even at the last academic conference, they were still discussing methods that might work and whether the lithium battery road is worth continuing.

As a result, someone suddenly claimed to have found the standard answer.

What's more, it's a recipe that no one has tried.

This unbelievable thing seems like an April Fool's Day joke no matter how you think about it.

This is not an impossible question, it is logically difficult to establish.

If we use existing technology and design a product according to specific needs, whether it is a weapon or a water cup, it will not be difficult to keep it secret.

However, research in cutting-edge fields is completely different.

This is not a question of whether it is open to the public or not. It cannot be done behind closed doors.

After entering the 20th century, scientific research has become a systematic thing.

An individual's work in the system is more like a "wafer" on the CPU than the CPU.

Except for the occasional genius in the field of mathematics who can work hard behind closed doors and work outside the home, research in most fields is already a "legionary operation."

Although there are some teams that, in order to take the lead in their own research methods, suppress the release of phased results and hold back a big move to release a nuclear bomb, basically they cannot hide what they are doing from their peers.

"... There is a detailed description of the reaction mechanism on page 27 of Part 13, but we have not observed it on the equipment."

"Is it a lack of observation, or is there no observation?" the old man asked in a strict tone.

The researcher hesitated and spoke slowly.

"To be precise... it's the first one. Our equipment can observe the deposition process of lithium dendrites on the control group, and how Li+ passes through that film... We can't capture its path, and we may need to target it. This membrane material requires a new experimental method."

"On our own, this might take a long time... unless we can find a research team that can produce these results."

"But it's so strange. I just looked through the records of the last two academic conferences, and I couldn't find any discussion on this research method. There are only a few similar ones...if you look closely, they are completely different."

At this time, the researcher sitting at the table next to him suddenly sighed.

"I don't know which boss suddenly dropped the nuclear bomb."

"Are there any such talented people in the field of materials science?"

"I counted on my fingers, but I couldn't figure out who it was..."

"Speaking of which, what should we do next? Should we continue with the previous projects?"

"I guess it will take someone else... It will take a while for the industry to fully digest this, let alone raise new questions."

"Hey... three years of hard work have been in vain. I finished my graduation thesis a few years ago."

"It can't be said that all the hard work has been in vain. Some of the phased results are still very interesting. But as for the SEI film... there is really no way to go."

Listening to the students' discussion, Professor Liu Yiping said nothing. He was also thinking about many things in his heart.

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

He picked up the phone and walked outside.

The call was connected, and an urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Liu, what happened?"

Liu Yiping said.

"The membrane has been made."

Hearing this sentence, the voice on the other end of the phone became a little more excited.

"嗽不䗽㳎?"

Liu Yiping said with emotion: "It's more than just 嗽㳎...it really shocked me."

Strictly speaking, even the lithium-ion batteries now popular on the market can benefit from this technology.

䀴It would not be technically difficult to design a new set of batteries for pure lithium anodes.

The electrolyte, cathode materials and separators, the industrial chain of these components are all ready-made.

It is equivalent to changing the battery cathode industry chain and adding an additional "coating" production line on the basis of the existing industry chain, and this technology can be put on the market immediately.

He can even imagine the crazy expressions on the faces of friends in the industry after learning about this technology.

That must be wonderful.

The old man on the other end of the phone continued to ask: "What about the cost? Is it difficult to industrialize it?"

Liu Yiping quickly answered.

"The specific cost is a problem for the industry. Laboratory preparation and industrial preparation are two different things. But I took a look at the process flow given in the information. Based on my understanding of the industry, it should not be difficult to make it. It will be difficult."

"That's so stupid! Hahaha, thank you for your hard work this time!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with obvious joy.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do," after a moment of pause, Academician Liu suddenly said, "By the way... I have a request, I don't know if it's appropriate to make it."

The old man on the other end of the phone said immediately.

"Please tell me! If I can help, I will definitely help!"

"If possible, I would like to meet the team that researched those materials, or their person in charge." After a pause, Academician Liu briefly omitted the complicated technical details and continued, "There are many things. , I want to ask him for advice."

What the industry is interested in is the membrane, but what they are interested in is how the membrane was made and how they thought about it.

Know how it is, know why it is so.

It doesn't take much time to copy an assignment, but if you want to understand the assignment and understand the ideas for solving the problem, it's not that easy.

For a scientific researcher who seeks the truth, results, methods, and ideas are indispensable.

In three days, they only understood half of the information.

The remaining half may take three months or even three years to fully absorb.

Academic progress is not just the accumulation of results, but also the improvement of tools and methods while obtaining results.

He wanted to talk to the man who defeated them, Tuo Tuo.

Academically, he believes that he will benefit a lot from being a teacher.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

"Old Liu...if it's something else, forget it. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Academician Liu hesitated and spoke seriously.

"Can you give me a reason?"

The person on the other end of the phone sighed.

"...How do you feel after reading that information?"

Academician Liu is straightforward.

"Incredible."

The old man asked Yu.

"Incredible [what degree?"

Academician Liu was silent for a while, then coughed slightly and said, "Hey."

"...Don't laugh at me if I tell you."

The old man said with a smile.

"Say it, your opinion is also important to us."

After hesitating for a moment, Academician Liu finally expressed his truest thoughts.

Although in a joking tone.

"...It's like it was made by aliens."

The phone was silent for a while.

Academician Liu was slightly embarrassed.

Just when he was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, a soft sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"...I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone. I'm planning to come over right now. Please wait for me for a while."

After saying that, a busy signal came from the other end of the phone.

Academician Liu, who was holding the phone, was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became weird.

Are you really an alien?

It's not that bad...

…

"...It seems we are not the only ones who think so! Academician Liu also feels that these technologies do not look like they were developed by a research team on Earth."

"Speaking of which, Academician Gao Tuo who we consulted last time said this."

"It appears our initial speculation was correct."

"I never thought [Close Encounters of the Third Kind] would unfold in this way, it's incredible!"

Somewhere, in the office, the discussion was heated.

The leader of the task force just answered Academician Liu's call and has now gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the old team leader, the "back-up work" on the membrane material went very smoothly, and the cost was within an acceptable range. It won't take long to see the product.

Everyone in the task force was very happy to hear the news, which meant that their work had produced results.

"By the way, is there any news from Academician Gao?" a servant suddenly asked.

The person sitting next to me answered the question.

"Academician Gao? Are you talking about the mining expert we consulted before?"

"Yes, didn't Lao Li give him the website? I wonder if he went up to check it out."

"I didn't ask, so I don't have to ask about this."

At this time, a staff member spoke.

"I think our strategy is still too conservative. We should ask our superiors to propose and control the players."

This is indeed one of the options.

However, his proposal did not win the support of many people.

Soon someone said something.

"I object. What about the risks? Have you considered it?"

"If you've done your job well, what's the risk?" The man retorted, "And don't you think it's more efficient?"

"I don't think at all that the efficiency you think is just what you think. Moreover, people trust their own organizations, and organizations trust their own people. What does it mean to control people? Do you not trust the organization, or do you not trust the people? This kind of thinking There’s a big problem!”

Not only is it a big problem, it’s simply reactionary!

However, considering that this person also said this out of hesitation and was a little impatient, the person who held the objection did not say it so harshly.

Seeing that the commonplace topic was about to be debated in the office again, the man with the Chinese character coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the two.

"...Sorry, don't discuss things that have already been discussed. The above means to remain cautious and maintain the status quo. The team leader and I also have the same idea."

"To rashly intervene in the progress of the game not only makes the mistake of a layman guiding an expert and being unreasonable, but also can easily lead to uncontrollable results."

"Since the current rules are beneficial to us, what we have to do now is not to change the rules and upset our own table, but to maintain the rules and maintain our advantage."

After looking around at the ministers present, the man with the Chinese character continued to talk.

"Let's talk about something practical. This 'technology introduction' actually exposed our lack of preparation."

"The platform for purchasing foreign exchange was opened a long time ago. The other party actually gave us a long time to prepare, but no one paid enough attention at that time, so they rushed to purchase together on the last day, and ended up being embarrassed that we couldn't buy it. Instead, speculators who entered the market early took the opportunity to make a fortune.”

㰴This transaction should be completed by central enterprises with a state-owned background, so that the technology transformation can begin immediately after the technology is introduced.

However, the time was too short.

In such a short period of time, there was no time to contact specific companies.

They can only act urgently and buy the technology first, and then decide how to use it, specifically which unit and person in charge.

There are too many things behind this.

The man wearing glasses nodded.

"Indeed... we can't improvise every time. Especially with this precedent, next time there is news, speculators active on the trading platform will definitely drive up the price."

The staff member who had previously proposed to control the players sighed.

"If it's just that the price is a little higher, that's fine. It's not a problem that money can solve. Even if it's temporarily suspended like last time, even if you have money, you won't be able to buy it."

The traders who were trading before also nodded and said.

"That's right, and with the kind of accumulation method of chasing ducks to the shelves, even a blind person can see who is buying. If I were a speculator, I couldn't help but come up and take a cut."

If it is a slow accumulation of holdings, it is impossible to tell who is buying.

But with the same posture as yesterday, they could calculate how many cards the opponent had in their hand without even using a pen to count.

"... We currently have 2 million silver coin reserves, which is still too low. My suggestion is to set up a 'technology introduction fund' and deploy a few professional traders from the financial system. Steady accumulation.”

"Are we just going to build foreign exchange reserves?" joked the person sitting at the desk next to him.

The trader said with a smile.

"Why not? Although I don't know what they need, they have the technology we need. If you understand players as labor exports, we should also pay those workers who help us earn 'foreign exchange'."

The man with the Chinese character's face lit up.

"That makes sense. This is a good suggestion. I will write it in the report and reflect it to my superiors!"

Seeing that his opinion was taken seriously, the trader also opened up the conversation and continued talking.

"... Let's talk about it again. Not only do we need to establish a normalized foreign exchange purchase mechanism, we also have to determine the way to purchase foreign exchange. For example, money for introducing technology cannot always go from state funds. We have to encourage those who benefit from technology. Profitable companies use part of their profits to purchase technology, only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed.”

On the surface, the money they use to buy silver coins is distributed to players, but in fact it is the companies that obtain the technology that are subsidized.

You can do this once or twice, but if you continue to do this for a long time, problems will definitely arise.

Frequent Weibo will not only have opinions from above, but also from below.

Everyone was making suggestions, and the man with the Chinese character took notes meticulously. In a short time, several pages were filled with notes, and the pen almost started to smoke.

The specific details of this "Extraterrestrial Language and Technology Introduction Fund" still need to be communicated with other departments in detail before making a decision, but the general outline can already be determined.

Looking at the notebook full of notes, the man with the Chinese character face was filled with emotion and suddenly had a strange idea.

By the way, is Aguang’s usual work like this?

While staring at the forum, taking notes, and then playing games.

If this is the case, it seems that the planning of "Wasteland OL" is indeed not that bad...

…

While relevant departments from various countries were meeting to discuss countermeasures, the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" was busy.

"Uuuuuuu, Brother Aguang, when will your bank exchange open?"

"Gan! It's been locked for three days. The network fluctuations can't last that long, right?"

"I'm crying. If I don't open the plate, my family will be unable to open the pot! QAQ"

"It's so funny, I almost believed it!"

On the day when the previous expansion pack ended, any player who had silver coins in their pockets, as long as they were not too greedy to hold on to them, or had to imitate others to sell high and buy low, and repeatedly jump sideways to earn the price difference, would basically do it.㰴They all made crazy money relying on that wave.

Can't open the pot?

nonexistent.

Even a newbie who just entered the game and only had a few silver coins in his pocket took advantage of the price increase and made a profit of ten thousand or twenty thousand.

Although this means having to work hard to move bricks in the game again, it is all worth it!

The war is over and businesses are waiting to flourish. It is the time to work hard to produce and consolidate the fruits of victory. How can we spend money on enjoyment?

For the alliance!

Ollie here!

Browsing the official website forum, Chu Guang was pleased to see that his little players had just come off the front line and ran to the construction site non-stop.

He also shared his work experience on the forum like a show off.

This is indeed something to show off.

In the past, sealing and testing qualifications were not valuable, but now a helmet is worth at least ten thousand, and even more is worthless.

Of course, "going to the construction site" is just a metaphor.

There are still many ways to make money in Wasteland OL.

Although there are many power-type players moving bricks on the construction site, more players still take their loot to nearby surviving settlements such as Honghe Town to run businesses.

In order to give his little players something to do, Chu Guang also overcame all opinions and approved an infrastructure plan with a budget of 200 million silver coins under the surprised eyes of old Charlie, Luca and other logistics officials!

This plan covers the railways of the new alliance, as well as the construction of Lida City. Relevant resources will be given priority to companies run by players, followed by companies run by NPCs.

I believe that young players will be grateful for their generosity!

As for the silver coin trading platform that was suspended due to "network fluctuations," Chu Guang was not in a hurry to open it.

On the one hand, players now have no extra spare money in their pockets, and those participating in transactions at this time are speculators.

On the one hand, the "big investors" in reality are still studying strategies for the next stage, and it will take some time for new funds to enter the market.

The opening of the market at this time has no meaning other than letting those speculators cut leeks.

Whether you are a cloud player or a player, it takes time.

And Chu Guang is also waiting for an opportunity.

He is waiting for the technology in the game to project reality, for the seeds he has sown to sprout.

This shouldn't take long.

After all, it was a technology he personally selected based on actual needs.

Not to mention that the opponents he cooperated with came from the same place as those outstanding young players...
