"One hundred thousand CR..."
Sitting in front of the computer in the resident hall of the shelter, Chu Guang couldn't help but sighed as he looked at the manual of the plasma CNC machining machine.
It's a good thing.
It's just too damn expensive!
If it was one hundred thousand silver coins, he would buy it without saying anything.
If it doesn't work, a loan or installment payment is also fine.
I heard from Luo Hua that there is a stock exchange in Ideal City, and I wonder if his No. 404 shelter can be listed. Chu Guang didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but investing in them is definitely more reliable than sending an expeditionary force.
He returned to the manual.
Although the professional content in it was beyond his knowledge, Chu Guang still understood some of the key information sorted out by Xiao Qi.
First of all, this machine tool is indeed black technology.
Although high-precision plasma cutting technology has existed since the end of the 20th century, and some people have combined it with CNC technology and applied it to the field of CNC machining with high precision requirements, due to the limitations of plasma itself, CNC plasma cutting machines are usually limited to using flat steel plates with only two moving axes to cut patterns and parts.
One of the main reasons is that the incision made by the plasma torch is too wide, and it is essentially still cutting by thermal energy.
Even if a manufacturer makes a smaller nozzle and a smaller plasma arc, the accuracy can only reach the lower limit of laser cutting at most.
However, the machine tool that Li De showed him is different.
From the most fundamental technical principle, the plasma used by this machine tool is completely different from the "fire sprayer" in the parallel world, but a variant of the magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion device.
It can not only heat the inert gas as a working fluid to hundreds of millions of degrees to form an ultra-high-energy plasma, but also use its own magnetic field to confine it.
It is like a fusion reactor that does not generate electricity.
The plasma jet containing terrifying energy is converged into a cutting line with a single atom width.
According to the precise control of the emission speed and emission amount of the plasma jet, it can not only achieve nano-level cutting of solid materials, but also accurately control the cutting depth, and almost no obvious burrs or burn marks will be produced on the cutting surface!
Compared with traditional mechanical tools, this "gaseous single atom knife" formed under magnetic constraints has almost no "processing principle error".
Just input the preset parameters, it can complete the geometric shapes that traditional machine tools need to go through multiple operation processes to produce through simple cutting and welding without making any changes to the properties of the material itself.
For the Pioneer, the significance of this "antique" may not be so important. After all, this machine tool is not suitable for mass production. It is only suitable for high-precision processing of already formed traditional solid materials, which is equivalent to the last process. In comparison, they not only have more advanced and safer cold gaseous single atom knife cutting technology, but also are closer to the pre-war society in mass production.
However, for Shelter 404, which lacks tools, it is as important as an industrial machine tool!
No matter what, this machine tool must be obtained!
Chu Guang thought in his heart.
Although it is a bit unkind to say this, it is also for his little players to have a better gaming experience.
"We must find a way to get more wool!"
…
Official website.
Forum.
Macabazi: "??? Why did I get offline? The screen went black as soon as I opened the cabinet? BUG? Planner dad, please help me check it out."
Elf King Fugui: "Brother, you didn't get offline, you died on the spot."
Midnight Killer Chicken: "+1, I saw with my own eyes that you were blown to pieces, the plasma wall was separated, and the manager was silent for a long time."
Irena: "Don't pretend, brother, it's not the first time you died. Others don't know what the black screen is, but you don't know? (funny)"
Macabazi: "???"
Ya Ya: "Hahahaha! Rookie! Hahahaha! Wing! (*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "I think the official website should update a special achievement, the record of being killed by a monster first. (funny)"
Ye Shi: "Zi Porcelain. (funny)"
Makabazi: "￥#@%!"
The whole post was full of joy.
Just when everyone was joking about how Makabazi was going to die next time, the official website suddenly updated an announcement.
[Announcement: Temporary Adjustment of the Expansion Pack Activities]
[1. In order to test the taste and cooking effects of the updated ingredients in the new version, a series of life and occupation tasks are now launched. Luca, who is located in the action camp, seems to be a little troubled. A yellow exclamation mark appears on the map. Please go online and claim it quickly if you are good at cooking. ]
[2. Due to the abnormal data of the new monsters added in the expansion pack, a technical bug that is difficult to fix has occurred. Players who died due to the content of the expansion pack will temporarily be unable to be resurrected. At present, our technical staff is working hard to investigate the bug and has been working overtime for 24 hours. Our boss has purchased an additional insurance for each employee and will never leave work until the bug is solved! ]
[Because the bug is extremely stubborn, it cannot be fixed in the short term. In order to compensate the closed beta players who may miss the expansion, we will issue 100 silver coins and a chance to win a weapon accessory as compensation to the affected accounts. The compensation will be issued within three days after the expansion ends. ]
[At the same time, we strictly prohibit the use of game bugs and malicious suicide to defraud compensation. If it is determined that there is subjective intent, the account violating the rules will be given an additional death penalty of 300% in serious cases, and no compensation will be made for the death in minor cases. ]
Tail: "Sisi!!! Come online and give me a hammer!!∑(??Д??ノ)ノ"
Sisi: "Do you want to get me banned!"
Makabazi: "Fuck?! What the hell? Does it mean I can't play for a few days??? (horrified)"
Elf King Fugui: "Fuck, brother, you should read the announcement! You've made a fortune!"
Midnight Murder: "Gah! Why wasn't I the one who opened that cabinet! Is it too late to go now? T.T"
Debt Big Eyes: "I understand! The version answer is corpse!"
Irena: "Is anyone teaming up to be a corpse? (funny)"
Canyon Runaway Mole: "Wait a minute, don't rush to die! The reward of 100 silver coins seems to be a lot, but dying at this time is undoubtedly a loss! The activity points of the expansion pack can be drawn after the expansion pack ends, and the compensation for the draw opportunity is just a guaranteed weapon accessories! You should know that in addition to the scope, the hammer grip, bracket and bayonet are also considered accessories!"
Fang Chang: "Indeed, the main reason is that there is no specific time when the expansion pack will end. If it ends in half a month, only 100 silver coins and a chance to draw will be compensated. It is really a bit of a loss. I don't recommend everyone to die for this little compensation."
Makabazi: "Fuck! When you say that, I feel so bad! I was only happy for 5 minutes! QAQ"
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: "Objection! If it is on the last day of the expansion pack, and the bug that cannot be resurrected is stuck, it will not be a big profit if you can fully experience the content of the expansion pack and get compensation?"
Canyon Runaway Mole: "..."
Fang Chang: "..."
Ye Shi: "Fuck, you are the only one who is smart! You are the only one who talks too much!"
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: "?"
Several familiar IDs disappeared from the forum instantly.
Players who are eligible for the closed beta test either went to the small group to chat privately or went online to receive the task of "Old Luca's Troubles". The former is especially clear. A Guang is a screen-peeping monster. You never know when he will jump out. It is more terrifying than the class teacher who appears by the window during evening self-study.
Only cloud players and cute newbies are discussing how to die reasonably and not be judged as malicious fraud by the planner.
After all, malicious fraud not only does not get compensation, but also has to pay a three-fold fine if the performance is not good enough. It is really not worth the loss.
But from another perspective, as long as the acting is appropriate, it is a big profit!
And if you don't act too much and write the word "scam" on your face, even if you fail to cheat, the probability of additional punishment should not be high, at most "no compensation".
It's a game!
Is it possible that no one will die?
Besides, the punishment is not severe, just deducting some game coins, without any account suspension, in their opinion it is not a punishment at all.
But there is another risk here, that is, you have to pay attention to the official website at all times.
If the official website suddenly announces that the bug has been fixed, then you can just stay where you want.
No one will do this business of losing money by posting on the forum for three days in vain.
Looking at those little players who are thinking about how to cheat for subsidies the day before the bug is fixed under their noses, Chu Guang thinks they are really cute.
Please think about it more!
Chu Guang has opened the document with a fatherly smile on his face.
If you come up with a better idea than mine, I'll do as you say.
…
Late at night.
Li De sat in his office drinking coffee, looking out the window at the vast snowflakes, his thoughts drifting back to his distant hometown.
For the survivors on the wasteland, this heavy snowfall was undoubtedly a disaster.
But for those living on the Pioneer, these two snowflakes were not as shocking as the "immersive dynamic wall" in the crew's single bedroom.
If they wanted, they could even "sleep on the top of the tower of the ideal city" and fall asleep overlooking the night view of the ideal city.
However, if they can't find fuel rods again, they will have to reduce the crew's non-essential energy expenses by next month at the latest.
Very annoying.
Every time everyone needs to sacrifice personal enjoyment, everyone will be very depressed, unhappy, and shout about missing home.
Do you think I don't want to?
However, after foreseeing that man, Li De has recently become interested in the classical management art of the old times and related sociological research.
Especially in terms of boosting morale.
Those blue jackets are obviously paid far less than their wages and use the most backward equipment, but they are still in high spirits and full of hope for tomorrow.
This is very puzzling.
He has seen slave city-states. Even if the slaves are equipped with bionic prostheses, their work efficiency cannot be improved. They are even worse than those non-industrial companion bionics.
Combining the above reasons, Li De speculates that Shelter No. 404 probably contains some sociological research results. The funds obtained before the war may not be much, so there are not even the most basic steel and cement production modules.
If possible, Li De wants to learn their management art and methods of boosting morale.
Not to mention promoting it to the whole regiment, at least it can be used in the logistics department.
"Section Chief!"
Looking at the young man who ran in without knocking, Li De put down the coffee in his hand and looked at him and asked.
"What's wrong?"
The young man said nervously.
"There is a lot of white smoke coming out of our ally's camp! It may be a fire!"
Can there be a fire in the snow?
Li De was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stood up, followed the young man from the logistics department to the outside of the room, walked through the corridor to the side facing the camp of the blue coats.
Outside the porthole, in the center of the camp, white fog was floating against the wind and snow, and even the howling north wind could not blow it away.
The public bathroom just blocked that side, and the specific situation could not be seen.
Something should be on fire, but there was no open fire.
Seeing that the fire was not very big, Li De breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand without thinking too much.
"Send a water truck to help them."
I hope it won't affect tomorrow's collection work.
That's related to when they can get on the road.
"Yes!"
The young man nodded immediately, and then rushed away.
Soon, a water truck set out from the mobile garage deployed next to the Trailblazer's tracks and headed for the action camp next door.
However...
When the driver of the logistics department drove the water truck to the destination, he was really dumbfounded by the situation in front of him.
A group of people set up a wooden shed here, boiled water, kneaded dough, and chopped meat, busy as hell.
And the vast white smoke was all picked out from the boiling pot...
Old Luca was already familiar with the driver. He remembered that the young man's name was Yuan Hao. When he saw him coming this way, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"You're still working overtime. You're here just in time. Would you like to try a steamed bun?"
Yuan Hao was confused.
"Steamed bun?"
"Yes, it's the one in the steamer over there. It's the food invented by our manager!"
It doesn't matter whether it was invented by the manager or not. Old Luca had never seen it, so he instinctively attributed the honor to his master.
The driver took a look and found that the blue coats kneaded the white flour into pieces, then stuffed the minced meat into it, and kneaded it into a ball of dough with small tufts?
They were busy and happy!
Yuan Hao had eaten pies before.
The canteen of the Pioneer not only provides healthy and nutritious meals, but also sells meat floss, caramel, and five-nut flavored pies as snacks, which can be eaten after heating.
"What's the meat filling?"
"Bear meat! Game just delivered from the outpost!"
When he heard it was game, Yuan Hao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"How much?"
The game in other survivor settlements was terrible, but these blue coats were obviously better at eating than the natives. He had seen this.
Old Luca said with a smile as the manager instructed.
"It's not open yet today, so we don't charge. You can try it for us and see which one tastes good."
When he heard it was free, the driver immediately took a bunch of freshly steamed buns, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite.
Under the soft texture, there was the aroma of meat that made his taste buds bloom.
His eyes widened immediately.
He stuffed the whole bun into his mouth, and Yuan Hao swallowed it hard, while giving a thumbs up and speaking vaguely.
"This! Delicious! Better than pie!"
Old Luca was so happy that he quickly brought another plate of new things over.
"And this is dumplings, with thinner skin, you can try it too!"
Before swallowing the bun in his mouth, another delicious food was handed over, and Yuan Hao, who had a full mouth, couldn't help but sigh.
"It's so delicious, do you usually eat this?"
Old Luca complimented.
"We just ate it recently, thanks to you for taking care of our business."
Yuan Hao laughed, and he didn't feel that he was being made money after hearing this, but he felt quite comfortable.
What's the point of getting such a high salary? What's the point of attendance subsidy?
So far away from home, and can't spend it!
Not only can he eat and drink here, but he can also help these poor people. He feels that not only his stomach is satisfied, but also his spirit is sublimated.
Compared to looking for Shelter No. 0, this is indeed the feeling of being a savior!
This is much happier than throwing money on the dance floor of a bar!
Yuan Hao said with a righteous look on his face.
"I can't eat your food for free... How much is this bun? I want to buy 50 back! Such delicious snacks, I will bring some back for my colleagues to try!"
"Will 50 be too much?" Old Luca persuaded, "We also have dumplings, steamed buns, soup dumplings... These are sold by kilograms. Why don't you buy some? You can freeze them if you can't finish them. Don't waste them."
Yuan Hao waved his hand and said generously.
"Then let's get 50 buns first, and 10 jin each for the others!"
"!"
50 buns, 2CR each, that's 100CR!
As for dumplings, soup dumplings, spring rolls, they're 10CR per jin, 10 jin each is 300CR in total!
The crew on the Pioneer are also rich enough, enough to cover the living expenses of the bottom employees of the company for 4 weeks, without any ambiguity.
Old Luca stopped persuading him, and helped him pack the food, stuffed the steamed food into a plastic bag, tied it tightly, and told him to eat it while it's hot, and freeze it if he can't finish it, and don't waste food.
Yuan Hao just said okay, then generously took 4 hundred-yuan bills, carried a large bag of steaming food, and drove the water truck back the same way.
Before leaving, the water in the water truck, which was originally used to put out the fire, was also poured into the water tank on the roof of the bathroom.
Looking at the four 100CR notes in his hand, Old Luca was excited.
As expected of an adult!
I'm afraid I'll have to make a lot of money this day!
The little players around were talking about it and teasing the water truck that disappeared in the snow.
"How many buns did you buy? How can you eat so much!"
"Who cares? Just make them as hard as you can. You can get 1 copper coin for each bun! This is much easier than chopping trees!"
"You can get 10 bonus points for making 100 copies. This is too cool!"
"I'll crush it!"
