This Game Is Too Realistic
Chapter 397 Twelve Black Boxes and the Messenger from the Desert (1/2)
While Chu Guang was talking to Mother Deathclaw, Heya had been standing beside her.
When the one-person exchange ended, she finally found an opportunity to intervene in the topic. She took a deep breath, stepped forward and introduced herself.
"Hello, I am a researcher from the Alliance, from Vault 117, mainly engaged in life science research..."
Seeing the amber pupils looking at her, Heya looked slightly embarrassed and continued speaking quickly.
"The situation on you is very... surprising. I will regularly... uh, draw some blood from you, of course, this is mainly for your health - "
"It's for experimentation, it doesn't matter. This body was not mine in the first place. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of tens of thousands of researchers over several generations," Mother Deathclaw smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "It's needed If so, take it.”
Heya breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly continued.
"...Thank you, I won't hurt you."
Although she couldn't wait to figure out the mystery of this guy before coming here, she still had mixed feelings about using an intelligent creature that could speak human language as an experimental subject.
It’s great that the other party is willing to cooperate.
Looking away from Heya, Mother Deathclaw looked at Chu Guang.
"If I continue to inject the serum, my body will continue to grow and theoretically I can live forever...but the space here can no longer accommodate me. I plan to stop injecting it. This body theoretically still has a lifespan of 47 years. "
"Now that the traitors are dead, and the permission of Vault 79 has been transferred to you, my confusion has been answered, and I can accompany you for another 47 years. After you have collected the research results from me, I plan to Live out the last bit of your life like a normal person.”
Chu Guang nodded.
"that is your freedom."
Mother Deathclaw smiled.
"What about you? What are you going to do next?"
Chu Guang looked around.
"I plan to visit here and take a look at the black boxes in your warehouse."
The latter is the point.
Ten black boxes.
This was more than the total number of black boxes he had seen in his life.
"Black box..."
A confused expression appeared on Deathclaw's mother's face, as if she was remembering something long ago. "Speaking of which, there are still a few black boxes here...how many of them."
Chu Guang: "Ten of them, I just confirmed it through the camera... By the way, haven't you used them before?"
"Maybe they were used a long time ago, when I was still a human. As for now, those things are no longer useful to me, but I still remember their capabilities..." Mother Deathclaw smiled lightly. Then he said, "If you don't mind, I can introduce it to you."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Trouble."
…
The details of the black box are clearly written in the user manual.
Not only is the black box a fool's errand, but so is the user manual.
After all, the original design intention of the entire set of equipment was based on the worst-case assumption that "the survivors of the Wasteland Era have completely forgotten writing and the existence of culture". Even monkeys or gorillas can figure out how to use it after seeing it.
From this perspective, the introduction seems a bit redundant.
However, since the previous manager here offered to serve as a "product introduction", Chu Guang himself would not refuse.
There is a bionic crystal element installed in its brain, which, like VM, can be used as a terminal to connect to the shelter system.
Chu Guang gave it a Hummingbird drone, and then followed it with Heya to the warehouse of the shelter.
The alien wares on the road leading to the warehouse were cleared.
Moving along the stairs to the bottom floor of the building, Chu Guang quickly saw the ten black boxes with different areas in a room of several hundred square meters.
The smallest of them is the size of a suitcase and can be carried with one hand.
The largest one cannot be called a box at all. It directly occupies an area of four square meters of the room. The entire thing is a detachable workshop!
Chu Guang was shocked the most by the guy who was the biggest.
After he read the instructions in the user manual, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"...portable reactor?!"
The Hummingbird drone floated gently to the side of the black box, and the sound of rotting wood coming from the VM came from the VM.
"Yes, to be precise, it is the 'Hippo-2' portable reactor, which is one version more advanced than the 'Hippo-1' powered armor you are wearing."
"Generally speaking, this type of reactor is used in power armor, but it is not uncommon to use it on ground vehicles and low-altitude flying rockets."
Chu Guang swallowed subconsciously, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The core component of power armor is its portable reactor.
Because of the existence of the portable reactor, it can allow the user to wear armor comparable to a tank on any terrain, and can be used as a carrying platform for a variety of weapons.
"Have you never thought of making use of it?"
Mother Deathclaw smiled lightly.
"It's okay to use... It's so simple. How do you plan to use it? To create non-existent nuclear fuel out of thin air. Even if the black box for producing nuclear batteries is right in front of you, if you can't get helium-3, you can only use it as a decoration.”
"In my opinion, this is the most useless black box here."
The energy utilization efficiency of portable reactors is much lower than that of fixed reactors in shelters. It is obviously not cost-effective to dismantle the fuel cells of the latter and use them as materials for the former.
Vault 79 had no use for power armor in its earliest days.
In the period after the Little Ice Age ended, power armor gradually lost its meaning to them.
An extremely powerful life form must not be a mechanical opponent.
For example, that "Yongshi".
It's still a bit difficult to kill it with just one powered armor. In the end, players still relied on continuous damage and human sea tactics to wear it to death.
From this perspective, it does make some sense.
After calming down from the excitement, Chu Guang nodded, thoughtfully.
"... Indeed, not being able to get nuclear fuel is a big problem."
"If the Earth-Moon route cannot be restored, or pre-war nuclear fuel reserves cannot be obtained, I advise you not to consider it for the time being... and look at other things."
The Hummingbird drone floated to the rows of black boxes nearby and introduced them in detail.
"This is a fire extinguisher... There's not much to say, but the coolant inside is interesting. You can make the fire extinguisher and then dismantle it to get out the coolant inside. It can basically be used on a scientific engine. Use it and it’s quite convenient.”
"Over there are the 'Champion' brand coffee beans, which can be synthesized into a kind of coffee beans that only grow at an altitude of 1,500 meters. In fact, having said that, you should know which company this thing is sponsored by by the name..."
Chu Guang touched his chin with interest.
"Yin Fang should be interested."
Heya's expression was a little strange and she said in a teasing tone.
"You guys quite enjoy it."
A faint chuckle came from the VM.
"It can't be considered enjoyment. Most of the researchers here have the habit of consuming caffeine. I think coffee and tea are normal hobbies... although it does sound a bit strange to produce this thing through a black box."
"The black box next to it is not so normal. Although it is sponsored by the same company, the content of this product is not just caffeine, but also has mild addiction similar to alcohol...'Champion' brand injection, It only takes one injection to stimulate excitement for 12 hours. In order not to affect sleep, we usually use it in the morning.”
Chu Guang said with a strange expression: "...This is actually a stimulant."
He picked up the manual and flipped through it. In addition to the instructions for operating the black box, Chu Guang also found a line of redundant description on it.
It should be something like an advertising slogan——
[Use Champion to help you win the championship. 】
"..."
Good guy.
It’s true!
Death Claw's mother said softly: "You can understand that the purpose of us using it is mainly to ensure that we can maintain 100% concentration at work. But after becoming Death Claw, we no longer need that thing. "
"That small dose is metabolized in just one breath."
There is a small amount of supplies in the warehouse.
Chu Guang walked to the black box and put in 57g of charcoal, 20g of sugar, 500ml of water, etc. according to the settings in the instruction manual, and then turned on the air inlet and power supply.
Operating this thing is a bit like alchemy to be honest.
But just press the switch, and there is no need for seals or spells - if the user is not very particular about ritual.
The unit starts up quickly.
A few minutes later, a tube of injection fluid about the length of the middle finger lay quietly at the outlet of the black box.
Heya immediately stepped forward to pick it up, held it in her hand and looked at it curiously for a while, and then stabbed it directly on her arm without thinking.
After closing her eyes and feeling it for a while, she spoke.
"Various body functions have been slightly improved... In words you can understand, all attributes have been increased by 4 to 20%, and the duration ranges from 6 to 12 hours."
Suddenly noticing Chu Guang staring directly at her, Heya was slightly stunned and said a little shyly.
"...Why are you looking at me?"
Chu Guang said with a strange expression: "I just didn't expect you to give yourself a shot... Is it really okay to do experiments directly on yourself?"
Heya was stunned for a moment and said matter-of-factly.
"It doesn't matter...even if there is a problem, I can metabolize it."
Chu Guang: "..."
All right.
The kidney made with high technology is really awesome.
To be honest, Chu Guang was a little envious, but the thought of having some strange parts installed on his body always made him feel uncomfortable.
Besides, having a constitution of more than ten points is not bad. You might be able to awaken some extraordinary abilities in the future.
Let’s wait until we get older to talk about bionic science and technology!
Without paying attention to the conversation between the two, the drone suspended in the air continued to float to the next black box.
"These are the two black boxes sponsored by the 'Champion'. The stimulant... let's just call it stimulant. It may be of some use to you."
"The variable temperature blue jacket... your shelter should also have this. After all, it is standard equipment in most shelters. There is nothing to say about it. There is also this 'Asteroid Brand' canned meat. There is also nothing to say about it. Although It can supplement protein, but the cans are filled with synthetic meat. Each can tastes the same. Eating too much will make you nauseous. You probably won’t like it..."
"That's a must. This is the Wasteland Era. It's good to have a bite of meat. My residents are not picky eaters." Picking up the manual, Chu Guang flipped through it with interest. The more he flipped through, the more surprised he felt.
Make five cans in one hour!
As long as you are fast enough, you can produce 5,000+ meat in one day. Based on the 480g net content of each can, the amount of meat produced in one day is equivalent to...
2,400 pounds? !
After calculating this number, Chu Guang was immediately shocked.
This amount of meat is as much as ten cows!
Only one black box covering an area of less than ten meters can perfectly replace a ranch with an annual output of 3,650 cattle, and includes a series of procedures including slaughtering, sterilization, canning, etc. The whole industry chain.
This black technology is really a bit unpopular.
"...Haha, I know what you are thinking, but I still have to remind you that the black box consumes non-renewable nuclear energy. Whether it is the electricity drawn from the shelter or from the nuclear battery, the energy is not unlimited. You can use it as a supplement to your food source, but it’s best not to rely entirely on it or you’ll be hungry in the future.”
After a pause, the Deathclaw Mother continued.
"What I want you to introduce to you is the next black box...'Qiqi' biscuit, this thing is a bit interesting."
After looking at the black box where the drone was hovering for a moment, Chu Guang tried to start the machine, stared at the packaging bag lying on the discharge port, and asked with interest.
"Is there anything special about this cookie?"
Deathclaw Mother chuckled.
"That's so special...you can try a piece."
Chu Guang looked at Heya subconsciously.
Without any hint from him, Heya had already curiously walked to the outlet of the black box, picked up the biscuit, opened it, and dropped a piece into her mouth.
After chewing for a while, a surprised expression appeared on her face, she threw another piece in her mouth and muttered.
"……weird smell."
Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly and put a piece in his mouth. The faint sweetness spread along his taste buds, as if it was just ordinary sucrose. And I don’t know what kind of chemical reaction happened. The biscuit is obviously not hard, but it has a clear grainy feel.
Overall, it has a strange taste, but it makes me want to have another piece unexpectedly.
"...It's just an ordinary dessert." Chu Guang gave a brief comment and stuffed another biscuit into his mouth.
"Is what you tasted dessert?" Heya said thoughtfully.
I was confused by the tone of this question. Just when Chu Guangzheng was asking, the Deathclaw Mother slowly spoke.
"Quiqi biscuits... they are one of the few luxury goods here, and everyone can taste them differently."
With an interested expression on her face, Heya thought about it for a moment and then spoke thoughtfully.
"So, it promotes the secretion of pheromones in the brain and deceives the sense of taste, touch and other organs to make people feel like they are eating their favorite food, right?"
Deathclaw Mother: "I'm not willing to call it deception, but it did bring us a lot of comfort in the difficult years... For us, the delicacy that has been consumed so much can only be This is the way to remember.”
Simulate a favorite food?
This sounds less like tasting good food and more like tasting “memories.”
Chu Guang looked at Heya.
"Speaking of which, what did you taste?"
Heya answered without hesitation.
"Liver has a taste and texture similar to that of foie gras. I didn't expect it to be able to bring out the texture as well."
Chu Guang: "..."
Foie gras-flavored biscuits...
What a unique hobby.
Heya suddenly looked at him curiously.
"What about you?"
Chu Guang thought about this question seriously for a while, and then said it in an uncertain voice after a long time.
"Hmm... maybe a lollipop."
If you think about it carefully, the grainy texture is indeed the same as chewing a lollipop into pieces.
Heya was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her looking at him in surprise, Chu Guang hesitated.
"What's up?"
Heya looked away.
"It's nothing... I just thought that your taste was unexpectedly ordinary? I thought that a special creature like you... I mean the food you like would be different from normal people when you wake up."
What a strange statement.
Chu Guang'an laughed and joked.
"It shows that I am an easily satisfied person. In these difficult times, I think this is a good advantage."
"That's true...but I haven't seen you eating sweets often." Heya still had a bit of confusion on her face.
If she remembered correctly, the most indispensable thing in the shelter was that stuff. There were so many of them that he not only hung them in the store and sold them to other residents, but even occasionally gave them to children nearby, which once made her suspect that there were It’s not a black box that makes lollipops.
Facing Heya's question, Chu Guang made a helpless expression.
"Don't ask me, I don't know either... If you are curious, just get a few samples and study them."
This kind of biscuits might be very popular in Ideal City.
Interesting laughter came from the VM.
"Haha, don't pay too much attention to this problem... What you liked before may not be what you like now, and when you are in a bad mood, the taste you taste may not be the same."
"Hopefully it brings you joy, not confusion."
"Young management."
…
In addition to the production of portable reactors, cryogenic fire extinguishers, variable temperature blue jackets, "Champion" brand coffee beans and stimulants, "Asteroid" brand canned synthetic meat and "Quqi" brand biscuits, there are also many manufacturers of various daily necessities black box.
Although everything has its own meaning, in Chu Guang's opinion, the most valuable among them is undoubtedly the black box that produces the "Hippo-2" portable reactor and the "Champion" injection.
Although nuclear fuel is difficult to get, Yin Fang can help find a way. With the portable reactor, the Alliance has hope of independently producing power armor!
Not even just power armor.
As long as the fuel is obtained, it is no problem to build a nuclear-powered tank!
Who says electromagnetic guns can’t be placed on cars?
Isn’t this enough?
As for the "champion" injection, Chu Guang plans to sell it to his little players.
A BUFF with all attributes enhanced, and it lasts for 12 hours.
Each one only sells for 50 silver. It shouldn’t be expensive, right?
…
Just as Chu Guang was admiring his trophies with satisfaction, a group of special guests were welcomed to the south of Linghu Wetland Park in Qingquan City.
They were leading the mutated camels, and there were about twenty of them. All of them were wrapped in robes and wore sand-proof headbands on their heads.
Looking at the oncoming caravan, the two guards standing at the door looked at each other. One of them stepped forward and looked at the leader and said.
"The front is where the Alliance Guard is stationed. If you want to go to the commercial street, you have to enter through the north gate of the Wetland Park."
After taking off his head, Kaliman stepped forward and said respectfully.
"We are the envoys of the Lion Kingdom, from Luoxia Province... I want to see your management team."
"The envoy of the Lion Kingdom?"
Xu Shunqi, who was carrying a rifle, came in front of him, looked up and down at the man with an unfamiliar face, and then said.
"Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
"This is the appointment letter written by our Majesty himself." Kaliman took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to the young guard in front of him.
Xu Shun noticed that the material for weaving the scroll was actually devil's silk, and it might have been sold from them.
However, this is not the point.
Xu Shun unfolded the scroll and took a brief look.
The content written on it is roughly that the king of the Lion Kingdom has authorized all diplomatic matters of the Lion Kingdom and Oasis No. 9 to be entrusted to the prince named Kaliman in front of him.
Whether or not the kingdom still exists...
Xu Shun frowned, rolled up the scroll, and gave it back to the prince in front of him.
"...We have no diplomatic relations with your kingdom and cannot verify the authenticity of this appointment letter. However, I have notified the city lord of Dawn City and he will meet with you later."
"Where is your management?" Kaliman asked slightly anxiously.
Before coming here, he heard that the supreme leader of the alliance is the manager, not the city lord.
"Of course that gentleman has his own affairs to be busy with, and it is impossible to see the guests around the clock, but I will report your request to that gentleman," Xu Shun continued without revealing Chu Guang's actions, " Now, please come with me."
Since the establishment of Dawn City, countless visitors from the Wasteland have come to request an audience claiming to be representatives of a certain force, and there are certainly many liars among them.
Xu Shun did not completely believe the man in front of him, but he still reported his matter to the management assistant through VM, placed his guard next to the guard station, and then took him to the meeting of the Hongshang Association. He went to the guest room and asked the waiter there to pour him a cup of tea.
After waiting restlessly in the reception room for an hour, Kaliman finally met Luca, the lord of Dawn City.
Not unlike the bureaucrats he saw in Boulder City Hall.
The old man with silver-gray hair in front of him seemed to have an earthy aura, and his calloused hands did not look like a civil servant.
Could it be that he was a warrior?
While he was speculating in his mind, Kaliman stood up from his chair and performed the palace ceremony of the Lion Kingdom.
"Dear Lord of Dawn City——"
"No need to be polite, please take a seat, my friend from afar."
After inviting Kaliman to sit down, Luca sat on the sofa opposite him and looked at the slightly younger man up and down.
"My name is Luca, and I am the city lord here. I have heard about you from our guard captain. And I also heard that you are from Fang Yan in Boulder City?"
Kaliman nodded.
"Yeah, we got there first."
Luka continued calmly.
"Have you met their city lord?"
Kaliman hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and answered honestly.
"no……"
The expression was obviously a disappointment.
But this was also what Luca expected.
After all, the Alliance has recently established a Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Boulder City does not even have a department in charge of foreign affairs, and it is not willing to deal with matters outside the giant wall.
If it weren't for the loan of 200 million chips, if it weren't for the 400mm main gun that was as powerful as a nuclear weapon, maybe they wouldn't even want to take care of the airship that was about to hit their face...
Not surprised by Kaliman's answer, Luka nodded clearly and continued.
"Management often teaches us to seek benefits while reserving differences. Although we have different cultures, ideas and beliefs, I don't think this will become an obstacle for us to understand each other... Can you tell me your purpose of coming?"
Kaliman took a deep breath and looked at Luca seriously.
"The Falcon Kingdom broke the oath they swore in front of the Sand Sea Spirit. With the support of the Legion, they annexed our neighbors and tried to spread the flames of war throughout the desert..."
"We are unable to withstand the legion's force alone, we need your help!"
