This Game Is Too Realistic

"Wasteland OL" official website.

[Progress of the "Battle in Paradise" front: Important checkpoints on the northern front have been breached one after another, Shifeng Mountain is under the control of the coalition forces, and the gateway to Haiya Province has been opened!

The southern front battlefield is still in the southern sea area. Players in this area are requested to keep up their efforts. The final reward settlement will be related to the progress of the front!

】

Shortly after the announcement on the official website forum was issued, the forum suddenly became lively.

Irena: "Good guy, it's okay for the dog to plan the update. (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "Other games reduce the strength of equipment to suppress the player's progress. I am afraid that the player will pass the level too quickly and the player's strategy speed will be too slow. This game is unique. (Funny)"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Fang Chang, can you do it? (Funny)"

Tails: "Dolly: Fang Chang, can you do it! (Shy)"

Sisi: "Awei, calm down, you are also on the southern front."

Tails: "Oh! I forgot! °ロ°)!"

Macabazi: "Too bad! (Funny)"

Feng Qing: "There is no way. The speed of the W-2 is too low. It cannot break through the close fire network of the federal destroyer. The limit of the old propeller aircraft is too obvious. T.T"

Guigui: "+10086, the southern front is in urgent need of supersonic fighters!"

There are really a lot of mosquitoes in WC: "Well, that kamikaze thing is too expensive. You'd better make do with the propeller first, or I can get you one without landing gear."

Feng Qing: "!!!"

Guigui: "Gan! Leader, are you still a human?"

Irena: "This game is too real. (Funny)"

…

Looking at the complaints in the comment section of the official website announcement, Fang Chang couldn't help but twitch his brows, but finally restrained himself from bubbling up.

This Ah Guang is really a bit unkind.

Can the slow progress on the southern front be the player's problem?

As for the destroyers in the Northern Commonwealth and the Southern Sea Islands, any one of them can defeat a group of "concept ships" in reality.

On the other hand, Baiyue Company only has a bunch of propeller aircraft that have been modified again and again.

One thing to say, this thing is really good at attacking the ground. It has the advantages of long stay in the air, low cost, and large quantity.

However, it seems to be somewhat stretched when faced with a point defense system with abundant firepower and high-precision guided weapons.

Especially in naval battles that focus on beyond-visual-range combat, the opponent is often already targeting them not long after they take off from the airport.

Of course, the alliance also has its own advantages. For example, the army's combat effectiveness and individual equipment are far ahead of the Northern Federation.

If they could pass through the maritime warning zone of the federal fleet and directly land on the federal island, the battle would definitely be much smoother than it is now.

However, the crux of the problem is that the other party clearly knows this. The warning sonar and radar are all on standby 24 hours a day, and the patrol boats carrying depth charges are constantly cruising in the uninhabited sea.

Let alone landing, once you get within 100 kilometers, you may encounter a beyond-visual-range attack.

Of course, this is true for both parties.

The Northern Federation is alert to the alliance's aircraft and airborne troops, and the Southern Islands Alliance is also alert to the "frogman" troops of the Torch Church. Various early warning and over-the-horizon strike methods are on standby 24 hours a day.

Previously, several waves of mutants carrying professional underwater combat equipment tried to swim to Anle Island to launch a raid. However, they did not even reach Coral City, and most of them were killed by several depth bombs, leaving only mutants who fled in all directions. Then they were buried in the belly of the fish one after another.

The alien species wandering in the ocean are far more terrifying than the alien species on land, and the types are also more abundant.

Without the cover of "Barcarolle", it would be impossible for a lone mutant to survive in the deep water for more than an hour.

Being wary of the submarines on Anle Island, the federal fleet did not dare to cross the warning zone and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Southern Islands Alliance.

It was precisely because of this that the two sides fell into a strange state of war.

It's like two strong men with guns, each leaning against the bunker, 50 meters apart, occasionally firing one or two shots at the opposite side, and then immediately retracting behind the bunker.

No one can afford the price of a mistake, so no one dares to step out of the bunker to attack.

But——

This does not mean that both parties will insist on this.

The Southern Islands Alliance is developing an "underwater dive mother" with the support of the alliance in preparation for landing on the North Island.

The Northern Federation is obviously also preparing its own trump card with the support of the Torch Church.

Both sides know that this war will not last long. Especially with the recent intensification of the coalition forces in the north, it is urgent for the Torch Church to open up strategic space to the south.

Everyone is preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

In this context, the player's operating space is actually very small.

Including Fang Chang himself, there seems to be nothing left to do except to work more on infrastructure projects in the southern seas and the Baiyue Strait, and to use economic and trade means to win over the islands on the alliance's side.

After simply finishing dinner, Fang Changyu took a late run downstairs, then put on his helmet and returned to the line.

A regular meeting will be held at 10 a.m. game time in the Governor's Office at Port Fries Town Hall.

As the CEO and chairman of Baiyue Company, the governor from Shuguang City will exchange opinions with him on regional affairs and the next stage of development work, and convey the manager's intentions by the way.

In fact, it is said that he is a governor, but this governor is qualitatively different from the governor of the empire.

The latter represents the emperor's interests and authority, which is equivalent to the emperor's local identity, while the former represents the alliance and the alliance's constitution.

From the perspective of rights and obligations, this position is more similar to the role of "city lord" in the alliance.

That is, it exercises the power to supervise local affairs on behalf of the Alliance Central Committee, is responsible for daily local defense work, and makes decisions on relevant matters related to the overall interests of the Alliance from the standpoint of the Alliance.

As for specific local affairs and the execution of public powers, the city hall or more specific affairs agencies are responsible.

Only in very special circumstances, such as when the locals have no sense of self-management and no foundation in this area, or the alliance needs a place to accommodate such survivors, will the city lord or governor take charge of specific local affairs. .

For example, Singularity City.

If the alliance does not send someone to take charge, the local survivors can use the alliance's constitution as toilet paper in a minute, and then set up a local "Red River Alliance" to sell sheep over dogs.

As for a place like French Fries Port, the players themselves can develop very well, and the managers are happy to let the players and locals manage it themselves, so they just set up a governor's office in the city hall.

When he was not working, the governor usually just drank tea and read the newspaper, and then summarized the local situation and sent a telegram report to the administrator. At the same time, he gave some instructions to the local institutions based on the administrator's feedback...

If the manager has not made any comments first.

At least in the past few months, managers' responses have been "yes".

It is obvious that even the meticulous manager is impeccable in the results of their work.

But this time it was different.

Hearing that the manager had given a rare clear instruction this time, Fang Chang couldn't help but feel a little curious about the meeting.

There was still some time before the meeting, so instead of rushing to report to the city hall, he took a leisurely walk in the settlement they had built with their own hands.

Perhaps when he reached the city hall, he could guess what the administrator's instructions were without waiting for the governor from Dawn City to speak first.

For example, the time in the game has reached the beginning of August, and it is the rainy season in the Baiyue Strait.

Often the sun is shining brightly one second, and then it's pouring rain from the sky the next.

But the rain was not annoying. After the rain, the French Fries Harbor was like polished glass, with a refreshing freshness inside and out.

After several months of development, Ru's French Fries Port has begun to take shape.

With the completion of the port, a large amount of cement, steel, bricks and other building materials and construction equipment were left. The port city hall simply signed a document to improve residents' housing, and encouraged local residents to use hand-built subsidies through active subsidies. The single-family cabin was converted into a three-story bungalow with a mainly concrete structure.

On the one hand, this is naturally for the city appearance of Potato Chips Port, and on the other hand, it is to prevent tsunamis and earthquakes. After all, the wooden houses here can only be used as makeshift, but more importantly, it is to boost the local economy and play a long-term role. Big fish.

After all, only when those survivors have their own houses can they rent out the unused floors, or use the first floor along the street to do small business or something.

For the vast and sparsely populated Friesport, land can be said to be the least valuable thing.

It wasn’t just the local survivors’ homes that had changed, the road in front of their homes had also changed dramatically.

The mud roads that became muddy when it rained were all replaced by clean and tidy cement roads.

Speaking of this cement road, it is also quite particular.

Due to the well-known problems, the maintenance cost of the Baiyue Strait Road is quite high. Strictly speaking, it is not suitable to apply the method of Dawn City to build settlements.

But not long ago, the research team of the Alliance Animal Research Institute developed a chemical material called "active cement" based on research on biological samples collected locally and the mother nest in Qingquan City.

This material has unique self-healing properties and can absorb energy and nutrients from the surface substances, maintaining the original shape of the "structural material" as the base in a physical sense.

An inappropriate metaphor is that the microorganisms attached to the material are like miniature hermit crabs, and the pores of activated cement are the "shells" on which they rely.

In order to protect their shells, they will actively fight against elements that try to destabilize the concrete structure, and use themselves as adhesives to maintain the stability of the concrete structure.

The initiator of this project is Chen Yutong, the head of the French Fries Port Branch of the Alliance Institute of Biology.

It is no exaggeration to say that this amazing technology is equivalent to directly removing the "industrial and infrastructure construction +900%" debuff of Fries Port.

This kind of "active cement" with self-repairing properties belongs to the category of living creatures. It will not be eroded by the prosperous local species and can even enjoy the buff of "luxuriant foliage", thus Reduce the maintenance cost of the road.

The only drawback is that this kind of active material requires one more process than traditional cement, both in production and use.

However, compared to the positive impact brought by this material, the incremental cost is completely negligible.

Facts have proved that there are always more solutions than difficulties.

With the advancement of technology, things that were considered impossible are gradually becoming possible.

However, even if the debuff restricting industry is removed, Fang Chang has no plans to change the local development strategy of "primary industry as the mainstay and tertiary industry as the supplement" for the time being, with secondary industry being placed last.

After all, the fast-growing buff is simply too delicious for crops!

The same crops can only be produced for one season in Shuguang City, but they can be produced for three seasons here without worrying about fertility loss. The production efficiency is even higher than that of Luoxia Province.

The scale and transportation capacity cannot be increased now. When the French fries port develops in the future, this place may become a bigger granary than Luoxia Province!

As for the secondary industry, just leave it to Jinlian Port to handle it.

Recently, a large number of immigrants have poured into the suburbs of Jinlun Port along the Yongliu River. The huge young and strong labor force has almost exceeded the capacity of the local infrastructure.

There is no place more suitable for the development of secondary industry than there.

Finally, he walked slowly to the door of the city hall. Fang Chang squinted his eyes and looked at this landmark building with masonry structure. He suddenly stopped the NPC who was coming out of the building and asked him with a smile.

"Friend, where are you from?"

The man was probably a recent immigrant, and I didn't recognize his face. Hearing this inexplicable question, I was stunned for a moment, and then spoke.

"Silver Moon Bay...what happened?"

Fang Chang continued to ask with a smile.

"What do you think of life in French Fries Port? Are you satisfied here?"

After hearing these words, an expression of emotion immediately appeared on the man's face, and he admired you sincerely.

"It's a good place. I don't know how to evaluate it other than that... I am certain that if heaven exists, it must be like this."

There is no king, no nobles, and no priests to support. As long as you work hard, you can get rich. This is the most satisfying place for him.

Of course, what made him linger the most was the bar on the coastal street.

He spent at least three percent of the money he earned last month.

Listening to the bragging of those sailors and mercenaries is much more interesting than praying to the statues of gods!

Looking at this guy who had forgotten all about the Sand Sea Spirit and the Silver Moon Goddess, Fang Chang laughed loudly and said.

"I also think this place is simply heaven... Just like it, it means we didn't come here."

After saying that, he walked towards the door of the city hall under the confused gaze of the man.

…

When Fang Chang arrived at the conference room, the governor arrived just in time and very politely asked his secretary to make him a cup of tea.

Not much pleasantries were exchanged.

The governor from Shuguang City quickly got to the point and spoke in a sincere tone.

"...The Port of French Fries has been developing very fast recently, and there are huge job gaps in all walks of life. The city hall has made a request to us, hoping to absorb more immigrants from outside the alliance, and we don't If anyone is allowed to come in, it will impact our refugee shelter. I would like to ask you if you have any good ideas here."

Fang Chang asked Yu.

"What's the management's opinion?"

The governor spoke seriously.

"The management asked me to ask for your opinion."

Fang Chang thought for a moment and said.

"This is very simple. Use the financial budget of the Port of Chips or entrust third-party companies to build some training institutions and schools that meet the standards in the Port of Kimmelon, and then encourage employers who need labor to go to those schools to recruit and obtain professional skills certification. "Graduates, we only need to issue visas to those who have obtained employment contracts, so that they will have a job and a place to live as soon as they land, and they will not be regarded as refugees. "

The governor's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.

"That's a good idea!"

Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

Isn't this gay?

However, considering that there should be no such thing as visas in the Prosperity Era, and the civilization inheritance of the Wasteland Era has been interrupted again, it is understandable that this fine tradition is thrown away.

After all, Ideal City is actually a food desert that doesn't even have "steamed vegetables." Compared to his hometown in Shanghai, this kind of thing is simply unimaginable.

In fact, the "electronic pass" that they recently managed through the Community is a bit like a passport and a visa.

Due to the existence of electronic passes, the surviving forces who had closed their doors have opened their doors a crack, and the survivors living in the member countries of the Community have also been granted "freedom of movement within a limited range." Power is not the same as before. Most of the time, there is no choice.

In fact, to be honest, this is the most unreasonable thing.

The management from the People's League Times actually came up with something that was not available in the People's League Times, and it was so easy to use.

Sometimes Fang Chang couldn't help but wonder if this guy was an NPC played by a real person.

Just when Fang Chang was thinking wildly, the governor sitting opposite him coughed lightly and continued talking.

"There is one more thing, mainly about Baiyue Company."

After coming back to his senses, Fang Chang nodded and said simply.

"You said."

The governor spoke seriously.

"The management hopes that you will suspend military conflicts with the empire and focus more on the southern seas."

Although it was an unexpected thing, Fang Chang couldn't help but show a helpless expression on his face.

"We are already doing this, including undersea power grids, freshwater pipelines, ocean current power stations and the restart of coral cities. These infrastructure projects are subtly uniting the survivors of the southern seas to our side... But you also know , The impact of these efforts is difficult to be reflected immediately, and the benefits of order will take time to be reflected. "

Upon hearing these remarks, the governor immediately realized that he had misunderstood his meaning and hurriedly explained.

"You misunderstood. The management is not questioning your work. On the contrary, he thinks that you are already doing a good job. Whether it is the unity of the survivors in the southern sea area or the handling of the expeditionary force, you all have a stand. Think carefully about the problems they encounter from the perspective of 'being managed'."

"Thank you, we just did what we should do." Fang Chang took a sip from the tea cup and said modestly, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

That guy must still be very useful to him.

The governor nodded and said.

"As long as you can understand, the general manager did not urge you to gain an advantage on the front immediately. He actually wanted you to moderate your attitude towards the empire."

Fang Changyi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Are we strict with the Empire?"

The embargo was clearly a unilateral act by the empire. They had never restricted the movement of people and goods at Jinlun Port, and even acquiesced to the existence of a shadow port like Jiaotou Bay.

As for the warlords appearing on the border, it has nothing to do with them.

Due to ceasefire negotiations, he even suspended contact with the rebels in the empire.

Regarding Fang Chang's "cry of injustice", the Governor made a helpless expression.

"I don't know much about your affairs across the sea. I'm just conveying the management's message. In addition, the Alliance is about to sign a formal ceasefire agreement with the Empire. The Duke of Kalava has already made concessions on several key agreements. Mr. Management hopes that The Jinshan Port can release Governor Nihak as a sign of our sincerity.”

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.

"That's it?"

Governor: "Are you having any difficulties?"

"No...it's better to say it's too simple."

Fang Chang said dumbfounded, then opened the vm in front of him, edited a message, and then clicked send.

In a few minutes, the Port of Kimmel City Hall will receive a telegram from the Port of Chips, and the secretary he promoted will soon take care of everything.

At most, by this time tomorrow, Governor Nihak will leave the prison and stand on the streets of Jinganlun Port, which have undergone earth-shaking changes...

I hope that the governor will not be too surprised by the changes in the place he once governed.

If the empire is willing to take this as a show of goodwill, it is not impossible to let the more than 10,000 prisoners of war in the prison camp go home.

After sending the message, Fang Chang looked at Mr. Governor, who was sitting opposite, and said calmly.

"It's done."

This is probably the fastest task he has completed among all the tasks.

The governor-general had a surprised expression on his face, as if he was surprised by his speed.

Fang Chang looked at him and continued to ask.

"Is there anything else?"

Whether it is immigration management or showing sincerity in the ceasefire, they are trivial matters in his opinion.

If it was just this matter, there was no need to communicate it to him through the Governor. Just say a word on the taskbar and it would be done.

He is more inclined to think that there are more important things.

The fact was indeed not beyond his expectation, and the governor actually had something to say.

He then cleared his throat and continued talking.

"In addition, regarding your previous proposal to list Baiyue Company, the manager has discussed it with experts from Camp 101, and he believes that your request is reasonable."

"Residents of the Alliance should enjoy the benefits brought by the development of the Baiyue Strait, which will stimulate their enthusiasm for exploring the wasteland. For you, going public means easier access to funds and faster expansion of your business. , make the cake bigger.”

"But before that, you need to cooperate with the regulatory personnel entrusted by the Alliance Bank to audit and evaluate the business, funds, and assets under your name to ensure that investments, legitimate interests, and equity transactions are conducted under the premise of openness, fairness and justice."

"If everything goes well, your listing meeting will serve as a demonstration. Mr. Manager plans to set up a special stock exchange in Shuguang City in the future to serve other companies with financing needs and good operating conditions. Providing listing services.”

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. When he came back to his senses, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately agreed without saying a word.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Manager! We will do our best to cooperate with Alliance Bank to complete the financial audit work!"

The Governor smiled and nodded.

"Compared with the first two things, this is just a small thing, not worth mentioning. You just need to understand it."

After hearing these words, Fang Changyi had a bright smile on his face but said nothing.

Little thing?

If this is a small matter, then there is probably nothing bigger than this!
