This Game Is Too Realistic

When the door of the ward opened again, all the "patients" were already lying on the bed, each one like a frosted eggplant, no longer as lively as before.

Standing next to Yun You, Yu Feng pressed his eyebrows and felt a little headache. However, he was just a businessman's apprentice, so he didn't say anything.

After putting on his shirt again, Shen Rui walked out of the room with an embarrassed look on his face. He wanted to say something to change the subject, but the person in front of him spoke before him.

"What's that?"

"Poker."

Shen Rui smiled awkwardly, rubbed the back of his head and explained, "It's just...those blue coats invented the card game, and they are quite famous in the tavern around here."

Yun You frowned slightly, the lenses of her glasses reflecting the sharp light.

"Tavern?"

"Well, alcohol will not affect the treatment, and it can also interfere with the continued spread of mutant slime mold... This is what the doctor told us." Looking at the sharp eyes, Shen Rui glanced around with a guilty conscience. , I was afraid that there was a doctor on the corridor and happened to pass by.

Yun You was silent for a while and sighed.

"Before coming here, I heard about your relationship and I was very worried about your safety... Now it seems that I thought too much."

Hearing the sigh, Shen Rui quickly explained.

"Well, you can't blame us. Life outside the city is too monotonous. We have to find some... uh, entertainment ways to pass the time."

"So the way you pass your time is gambling?"

Consciously feeling wrong, Shen Rui stopped talking.

After all, the improvement of discipline was not his own work. Yun You did not continue on this topic. After a moment of pause, he talked about the future arrangements.

"Two days later, you will transfer to Xizhou City and take the return flight back to Yunjian Province."

Hearing that the Neng family was here, Shen Rui's face finally showed an expression of joy.

Although the life here is quite interesting, it is only suitable for traveling and not for long-term residence. Without access to the "Endpoint Cloud" and without an immersive virtual entertainment space, it will definitely become boring after a long time.

Otherwise they wouldn't be playing cards.

"...You have lived here for a while, tell me about the situation here."

Hearing Yun You's question, Shen Rui came to his senses and said quickly.

"What do you want to know about?"

Yun You thought for a while and said.

"For example, what kind of organization is this alliance?"

This question is a bit abstract.

Shen Rui scratched the back of his head, thought for a while and said.

"Their own explanation is that...the Survivors Self-Rescue Alliance is led by the residents of the shelter. Its full name seems to be the United Front for the Resurgence of Humanity, or the New Alliance for short."

Humanity's revival is okay.

Yun You slightly raised her left eyebrow, her expression was a little weird, but she didn't say anything.

There are many survivor settlements with strange names in the wasteland. There are three human kingdoms, 10,000 human tribes, and ten small villages forming a federation.

There seems to be nothing strange about the "alliance" claiming to be a revitalization of human civilization.

Seeing that Yun You didn't speak, Shen Rui continued.

"...No matter what they are, the people here are generally kind, but the people's toughness is also true. Occasionally, wastelanders who don't understand the situation come to make trouble, and they will soon be killed by the residents of the shelter. Take control..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and continued.

"Oh, by the way, many of those blue jackets are Awakened! Including their managers! They have very strong animal skills. They should have mastered the technology that can stably cultivate Awakened."

Yun You nodded, not feeling very strange.

It’s not that there are no similar technology companies, it’s just that, like human cloning technology, it’s a taboo technology that’s not used very often.

After all, awakening is nothing. The cost is sacrificing the probability of having offspring. In terms of the overall fertility rate of society, it is not suitable for large-scale promotion in stable societies.

To a certain extent, the ideal city continues the legal and moral values ​​of the People's Alliance era. Although it recognizes the identity of the awakened, it does not respect them as much as the precarious wastelanders.

Through mechanical exoskeletons and simulated organs, one can become a "superman", which not only strengthens the direction of the body and makes it more stable and controllable, but also does not have to sacrifice personal happiness.

However, it was just a matter of transforming the residents of the shelter into awakened ones. The manager actually awakened himself.

This was beyond her expectation.

It seems that I still underestimated that guy's ambition.

"I understand the basic situation."

After listening to Shen Rui's explanation, Yun You thought for a moment and then continued, "It seems that the situation here is more complicated than I imagined...including the manager."

Shen Rui asked doubtfully: "Complicated?"

"Well," Yun You nodded and continued in a calm tone, "ambition, government, and leadership... He has all the potential a careerist needs, and he is better at pretending and hiding than ordinary careerists. . He will make himself look harmless and his true intentions unclear."

Shen Rui scratched the back of his head and said with a subtle expression.

"However, I feel that he is a very upright person, and the residents here like him very much... Could it be that you are overthinking it?"

He wasn't the only one who felt this way.

Anyone who has been in contact with that man can feel that he is a very easy to get along with, and the comments made by the residents living here do not seem to be false pandering and flattery at all.

This is very different from Jianyi, a settlement of survivors they encountered along the way.

He has seen a tribe of cannibals that eat people alive, and a community of survivors who have cleverly named cannibals. The village chiefs who call themselves people of the Ming Dynasty even offered to sell an eleven-year-old girl in exchange for the Ming weapons in their hands. Offered to be slaves... Of course, they refused.

Rather than being a careerist, Shen Rui felt that that man was somewhat similar to the leader of the Pioneer, Lu Yang... more like an idealist.

However, this is just his personal opinion.

For example, a guy who calls himself Mr. House often curses him on the radio.

"It's not that I think too much, it's that you think of people too simply," Yun You said lightly, "I don't deny that he has a positive side, but that doesn't mean that what I said is invalid."

After a pause, she continued.

"This is not my opinion alone. According to the calculation results of 'Zhi Nao', there is a 37% chance that this war will be started by the alliance."

Intelligent Brain is the server of Ideal City, the core of the "Endpoint Cloud" network, and the core business of the Endpoint Group.

Although the other four major groups rarely rely on AI for decision-making, Endpoint Group has a high degree of intelligence, even higher than Kangmao Group, which uses artificial intelligence extensively.

Shen Rui showed a surprised expression, glanced left and right at the corridor, then looked at Yun You again, and said cautiously.

"I think...judgments based on limited information must be reliable, even if it is an intelligent brain. To be honest, I don't really believe in that thing, and it is best not to discuss this on other people's territory...They are, after all, Victims, a lot of people died that day.”

Yun You's expression didn't change at all, and he spoke in a calm tone.

"It is just a reasonable suspicion that the Pioneer was first attacked by the Legion in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and not long after they left here, it was intercepted by the Legion again... Many coincidences make me feel that the situation is not that serious. simple."

"Of course, this is just a suspicion. I will not submit the verified speculation as evidence to the Council for review. Unless we have enough clues to prove that he is trying to defraud us of assistance, or he is provocative for his own selfish purposes. started this war."

This is not her alone.

In the Endpoint Group, there are many people who hold similar opinions.

To put it more deeply, unlike Silver Wing and Changge Group, Endpoint Group’s business must be concentrated in Ideal City. Most of the survivors’ settlements simply cannot use their AI technology and cloud computing services to “open up overseas markets.” It does them no good.

Therefore, even if personal emotional factors were put aside and purely from the perspective of interests, they would not be able to support this war.

Even if they ultimately voted yes.

Shen Rui opened his mouth and finally shrugged helplessly.

"Well, I can't guarantee that he must be from Tu. I'm just saying my own opinion... I have pretty good feelings about that person."

"Understood, let's not talk about this anymore," Yun You said in a gentle tone, "By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how much does your treatment cost?"

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment.

He didn't pay close attention to this.

After thinking for a while, he answered in an uncertain tone.

"It's like...five hundred?"

"So cheap?" Yun You looked at him slightly surprised.

Shen Rui: "Well, it should be five hundred a day."

Noticing that the expression on Yun You's face gradually became unfriendly, Yu Feng, who had been silent for a while, coughed dryly and quickly explained.

"It's a silver coin, a silver coin... not Cr."

…

The next morning.

The sky is bright.

Wearing casual clothes, the lone wolf walked out of the shelter with his backpack and found Guangfeng waiting there in Resurrection Square.

As a live professional player and salty player, he rarely appears on the front line unless it is a large-scale event, and he rarely forms a team to win.

After all, he has a deep self-awareness about the fact that it will hold him back.

Therefore, he usually either exchanges professional issues with a few players from Factory No. 81 in the industrial area, or goes to the lake to fish with his fishing rod.

Although the colleague in front of him forced him to fill out the form, due to the huge difference in game styles, the two of them didn't have much interaction in the game.

Basically, everyone plays their own game, and occasionally we get together.

It was the first time in the past few months that we formed a team like this early in the morning.

"What? You have to say it in the game."

The lone wolf looked at Guangfeng in confusion, trying to find some clues from his face.

However, although this guy's game ID is not generally wild, his personality is very sullen and coquettish. Whether in the game or outside the game, his expression changes are not very obvious.

"Of course you have to talk about your love in the game." Kuangfeng said seriously, "Come with me, I will take you to see something."

Lone Wolf asked subconsciously.

"What the hell?"

However, Kuangfeng didn't give any explanation, he just spoke concisely.

"You'll know when you get there!"

Tu guy.

It's also a bit of a show-off.

Lone Wolf raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

What interested him wasn't that this guy was showing off, but that there was a trace of excitement and excitement behind that paralyzed face.

What kind of treasure can make this guy so excited?

With a curious mood, Lone Wolf followed Guangfeng all the way to the train station in the northern suburbs of Shuguang City and got on the train to Xizhou City.

The bumpy ride of nearly a hundred kilometers ended.

It was almost noon when the two got out of the car.

Seeing that he hadn't reached the place yet, the lone wolf following behind Guangfeng finally couldn't help but ask.

"How far is it?"

However--

In response, he still only had one sentence.

"Soon!"

Lone Wolf: "..."

The only consolation is that the excitement in the voice is getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps as this guy said, they are very close to the end.

Go deep into the urban area of ​​Xizhou City.

Fengfeng skillfully set up his gun and checked the situation on the street. Seeing that there was no danger, he led the lone wolf behind him through a ruined building and arrived at the entrance of the subway station.

The grass swayed gently through the cement cracks, and the shadows under the concrete wall were covered with moss and reddish-brown rust lines.

It was quiet all around.

Let alone a human being, it doesn't even look like a living creature.

Looking at the dark passage, the lone wolf swallowed, but seeing that the strong wind had no intention of stopping, he followed it.

He walked along the subway tunnel with an uneasy feeling. Just when the lone wolf couldn't help but repeat the question he asked half an hour ago, the strong wind in front finally stopped.

Standing in front of a rusty iron door, Guangfeng reached out and knocked on the door three times.

Not long after, there was movement behind the door, and then it opened with a "squeak".

Two soldiers wearing Type 5 light cavalry exoskeletons stood on both sides of the door.

When he saw the logos on the breastplates and helmets of the two soldiers, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on Lone Wolf's face.

Guards regiment?

Why are the Administrator's Guards here?

"Please show me VM," one of the soldiers said.

Guangfeng immediately handed over the arm wearing the VM.

The soldier who opened the door for them earlier took a step forward, checked his vm, and then looked at the lone wolf who was standing there motionless.

"Where's this one?"

"He's coming with me as a team, can I take him in?"

Hearing the request of the residents of the shelter in front of them, the two soldiers exchanged glances, and one of them replied.

"Please wait a moment, I will ask the administrator for instructions."

Kuang Feng nodded.

"Thank you!"

After waiting for a moment, the two soldiers received the release order and made way for the passage at the door.

Seeing that the manager accommodated his request, Kuangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Lone Wolf, and led him through the long corridor behind the door.

The security level here is quite tight.

Not only are there sentries at the door, but there are also cameras installed at the corners of the corridors, as well as hanging automatic machine guns.

Anyone who tries to force their way in will be beaten into pieces the moment they break into the corridor.

Looking at the strict security around him, Lone Wolf then looked at the VM map and found that this area was not recorded on the map, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Is this a hidden map? It's so mysterious."

Kuangfeng didn't answer, but pointed forward with his chin, led the lone wolf through and opened the alloy door in front of him.

The moment the two of them walked through the door, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up.

The empty hall is hundreds of square meters, and people in work clothes are walking back and forth here, making the whole scene a busy place.

On the door directly opposite the hall, there is a door sign of [Reaction Room].

Following the footsteps of Guangfeng, he walked straight into the reaction room. A metal cylinder with a diameter of about ten meters came into view quickly.

Countless pipelines are connected to the alloy shell, leaving only a small window the size of a palm. Through that window, you can see that the hollow cylinder is connected with complex and delicate parts.

Lone Wolf's face was full of surprise, even shock.

I didn’t expect that this humble subway tunnel would contain such a big mystery!

What surprised him even more was that the azure blue power armor——the alliance manager was also here.

Not only that, there were many people standing next to the powered armor.

Including Yin Fang, the leader of the scientific expedition team, including Shenyin's boss Xia and Xiaoyu from a few versions ago, and the genius girl who had been with No. 81 Steel Plant and Goblin Technology... He seemed to remember that her name was Pai .

Lone Wolf lowered his voice, looked to the side and asked Guangfeng excitedly.

"Is this going to be a ceremony?"

"Controllable fusion reactor ignition!" Excitement flashed on his face, Guangfeng restrained the excitement in his voice and answered him with a slightly trembling voice.

After the scientific expedition team reaches LV6 (maximum LV10).

Players can check the research plan and experimental schedule of the scientific expedition team in the shelter through VM, and apply for permission to observe.

Hearing Guang Feng's words, a surprised expression appeared on Lone Wolf's face.

What surprised him was not the controllable nuclear fusion itself, but the fact that this professor from the School of Physics at Jinling University made such a fuss.

By the way, in "Wasteland Online", controllable nuclear fusion is not a particularly rare thing, right?

After all, in terms of settings, those are the results of research on the eve of the Prosperity Era, and there are so many blacker technologies than this!

"Controllable fusion reactor... isn't there a reactor in the shelter?" Lone Wolf said with a strange expression.

"Yes."

"Is it necessary to come here to see it?"

Fangfeng made a silent gesture and stared at the reactor intently.

"Stop talking, let's start!"

Seeing this guy's surrender, Lone Wolf was confused, but he still kept his mouth shut and decided to stay with his colleague until the end.

Not far away, the manager standing next to the guardrail glanced at the time, then looked at the researcher standing aside, signaling that it was time to start.

The factories in Lipa City have suspended production one after another. The thermal power generating units of the power station have increased their output to the maximum, and all the electric energy has been allocated to this thermonuclear reactor.

As the capacitor was full, the researcher standing next to the control terminal operated on the touch screen, and the cylindrical device made a sizzling current sound.

When the last button was pressed, the magnetic field in the entire space began to stir like a pot of boiling water.

Taking out the compass from his pocket, Fengfeng looked at the pointer that was going crazy like an epilepsy, his eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and he kept mumbling.

"Magnetic restraint! It's magnetic restraint!"

Lone Wolf looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Not far away, standing next to Chu Guang, Yin Fang pressed his eyebrows and said "Huh" with a headache.

"Magnetic leakage... as expected, too much time has passed."

Chu Guang, who was standing aside, frowned.

"Does it have any impact?"

Before Yin Fang spoke, Pai stood aside and couldn't wait to answer you.

"Don't worry, it's a small problem! After a while, the magnetic restraint device becomes stable and the magnetic field overflow problem will disappear naturally."

Yin Fang nodded.

"Well, it should be 㱕."

The magnetic field inside the reactor will be adjusted according to the shape of the plasma. When the plasma stabilizes, the magnetic field will naturally become stable.

Obviously, this reactor does not rely on a Faraday cage for magnetic field shielding, and it does not even have this redundant design at all.

It is precisely for this reason that a small window will be left on the outermost wall of the reactor to "visually observe" the plasma operating conditions.

Seeing that the two researchers assured that there was no problem, Chu Guang continued to look at it patiently.

A deep blue light appeared behind the small palm-sized window. As the energy continued to gather, it quickly turned into pure white light.

That should be plasma wrapped in a magnetic field.

Even through the thick shell of the reactor, Chu Guang could still clearly feel the scorching heat that could melt a body and the terrifying energy contained within it!

Not far away.

The technicians standing in front of the workbench performed their duties and completed the work at hand, and reported the current situation one after another.

"Plasma temperature reaches critical value!"

"The probe observed a reaction!"

"The core is in good condition and the restraint is working normally!"

"The energy surplus reaches the self-sustaining condition!"

"Turn off the external power supply!"

"Voltage difference adjustment completed!"

"The phase difference returns to zero!"

"Frequency synchronization completed!"

"..."

"Connect to the grid!"

As the last command was issued, a huge current passed through the cables buried in the wall, and energy as vast as the ocean instantly filled the power grid of Lepi City.

Near the power station next to the new industrial zone, the thermal power generating units operating at full capacity have been shut down one after another.

Up to this moment, they have completed their mission.

In the future, the Alliance will no longer need to burn firewood and coal to produce electricity. Clean nuclear energy will cover the entire Alliance through the power grid.

From the flashing arc in the chain steel factory, to the electrolytic chamber in the hydrogen production plant, to the light bulbs, fans and even air conditioners in every house in residential areas...

The energy running in the alliance power grid has never been so abundant!

Looking at the white light in the reactor that gradually stabilized, Chu Guang's tense expression finally turned into a relieved smile.

From this moment on, the alliance officially enters a new era.

In this barren ruins, the fire of culture was finally ignited again!

History will remember this moment!

Chu Guang looked back at the people standing next to the reactor, and the faces that were either excited, happy, surprised, or confused.

He took off his helmet visor and said approvingly.

"Good job."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

…

The reactor ignition is completed.

Including the managers, the NPCs are all busy with their own affairs.

Only Kuangfeng still seemed to have lost his soul, holding a compass in his hand and walking out of the reaction room with eyes blank.

"Hey, brother, the lighting ceremony seems to be over." Looking at the strong wind standing stupidly in the hall, Lone Wolf reminded him in a low voice.

Nuclear fusion was beyond his professional scope, and he couldn't see anything about it after looking at it for a long time.

Hearing the voice of his colleague next to his ear, Guangfeng finally recovered from his daze.

However, the expression printed on his face was no longer one of excitement and excitement.

䀴It is loss...

Even disappointed.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lone Wolf Sekiko asked.

Guangfeng was silent for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and let out a sigh.

"The gap is too big..."

The cooling device was not seen, perhaps it was concentrated inside the reactor.

However, he was completely confused as to how the reactor, which was only a dozen meters in diameter, could contain that terrifying energy.

What made him even more unbelievable was that he could actually see the outline of the plasma clearly through a small window without his eyes being burned by the hot light...

Whether it was the materials or the design process, the reactor was like a black box to him, and even if he put it in front of him, he couldn't understand its secrets.

The reaction made him feel that his common sense had been subverted...

Lone Wolf looked at him in surprise.

Is the gap too big?

Dude guy...

Is it possible that you still plan to get one in reality? !

Guangfeng looked at the compass tightly held in his hand. The wildly jumping pointer stopped trembling at some point and pointed steadily in the direction it should point.

The only thing he could be sure of was that at the moment of ignition, a huge magnetic field should be constraining the plasma.

However, after the ignition work is completed, the overflowing magnetic field disappears completely.

So much so that he couldn't even determine whether the overflowing magnetic field was sealed, or whether the reactor was not relying on the energy of the magnetic field at all to restrain the heat that far exceeded the star...

Lone Wolf scratched his hair and said thoughtfully: "I remember... it was mentioned on the official website that the fuel used in the reactor in the shelter is pure helium 3?"

Kuangfeng: "Yeah."

Lone Wolf: "Can that thing be obtained on earth?"

Kuangfeng: "I can't do it."

Lone Wolf: "..."

Glancing at the closed alloy door, Guangfeng's expressionless face suddenly showed a wry smile.

He suddenly realized that there was no point in worrying about how to restrain the plasma.

Deuterium-tritium fusion can also be ignited using lasers.

However, helium fusion...

Given the harsh reaction conditions, he couldn't think of any other way to light this reactor on earth...

…

The news of the successful ignition of the reactor in Xizhou City quickly took wings. With the promotion of newspapers and radio, it quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the Alliance.

Chu Guang was not worried about the reactor being taken into account.

The corporate aviation base is right next to the Tianshui tributary. Except for the Great Rift Valley, no one in the entire valley province would dare to provoke those guys.

What's more, unlike Earth in the parallel world, controllable fusion in the wasteland is not a rare thing. In fact, nuclear fuel is far more rare than the technology itself.

When excess energy cannot be absorbed, thermal power generation may not be as useful as nuclear energy.

Of course, for the alliance, there is no need to worry about this issue at this moment.

Twelve "Orca" transport aircraft from the enterprise were transferred from the airport in the north of Shuguang City to the open space near the Tianshui tributary in the north of Xizhou City.

Cables as thick as pythons are inserted into the side of the aircraft, sucking out energy from the alliance power grid like a whale sucking water.

In addition, water from Tianshui River, a tributary of Tianshui, is also extracted.

A series of fuel cells, including solid hydrogen and metal hydrogen batteries, are essentially different from chemical batteries. The former does not carry oxides itself, but extracts oxygen from the air to participate in oxidation-reduction reactions.

Using the entire atmospheric environment as the cathode is the reason why the energy tonnage of fuel cells is much higher than that of general chemical batteries.

However, it is a little more troublesome to replenish energy with metal hydrogen batteries, which need to meet the two conditions of a reliable power grid and sufficient water sources.

Standing in the aviation base that had just been circled, Yi Chuan beamed and talked to Chu Guang next to him.

"...At this rate, we can fully charge the battery in one day at most! Once the battery is fully charged, we can send the second wave of supplies in three days at the latest!"

At present, the company only has twelve aircraft with a range of 3,000 kilometers, but it won't be long before they can assemble another twelve.

Twenty-four large transport aircraft were commissioned.

Relying on the power grids on both sides, they can create a stable air corridor between the southern part of the River Valley Province and the east coast, and continuously deliver equipment and supplies to the front line!

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome," Yi Chuan said with a hearty smile, "We are allies on the same front. This is for our common victory and to defeat our common enemy!"

"Even if it is for a common victory, we will never forget your helping hand at critical moments."

Looking away from the enthusiastic young man in front of him, Chu Guang "accidentally" looked at the planes not far away.

After a moment of pause, he suddenly sighed.

"But having said that, it would be a pity for these planes to return to Japan empty. Otherwise... bring some specialties from us back to Japan."

"Specialty?" Yi Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved, "No, no, our assistance to you is free! This is what we should do!"

Seeing the bright and sunny smile on this young man's face, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It would be a waste if everyone could be as kind and charitable as him.

But...

This is obviously impossible.

Now is the honeymoon period between the alliance and the company, and he must seize this window of time.

Whether it is for short-term considerations or long-term considerations, he needs to take advantage of this opportunity to bundle more interests between the two parties.

Otherwise, when the war is over, the River Valley Province will no longer be so demanding about business, and he will have to scheming through the air with the faceless rich man next door.

Clearing his throat and looking at Yi Chuan, Chu Guang said in a serious tone.

"I know your assistance is free, and we are grateful for your generosity, but we can't always reach out to you whenever we encounter trouble. This will make my conscience feel bad!"

"We have a saying here that courtesy should reciprocate, and we have prepared some gifts for you."

“Although it’s not an expensive thing, it’s still a little bit of our appreciation!”
