Chu Guang is not interested in being a feudal lord. The times have changed for several cycles. If he changes back, he will have to trouble his descendants to change back again.
This is too troublesome.
By then, there will be a bloody fight.
If he crowns himself as the emperor, the players may think it is cool, and the natives will not have any objections, but he is likely to lose the support of conservative shelter residents like Heya.
80% of the heritage of the Human Alliance was inherited by the blue jackets. The origins of many major forces, including enterprises, came from shelters with higher sequences.
Losing their favorability is equivalent to giving himself a debuff of -80% technological development. This is very difficult for Chu Guang, who always wins with technology when playing "Civilization" and feels uncomfortable playing "Stellaris" without materialistic thoughts.
He does not intend to completely follow the old path of the Human Alliance.
Decentralization in all fields requires extremely rich computing resources and productivity foundation. The methods of the prosperous era may not be useful in the wasteland era. The most taboo thing about copying homework is to copy it mechanically.
Chu Guang knows very well what he needs.
He needs centralized power to ensure that every plan of his can be smoothly implemented, but at the same time he also needs to carefully handle the relationship with the legacies.
This is actually not difficult.
He can form an alliance and then issue a special "Restoration Act" in the name of the alliance to give himself "necessary" power within a certain period of time.
After the B round of testing begins, Shelter No. 404 will join Shelter No. 117 to form a new alliance in the name of "Restoring the Human Alliance and Rebuilding Order".
The northern suburbs of Qingquan City will be designated as the "Restoration Zone", and the survivors living in the northern suburbs will automatically obtain the status of residents.
And a large area of land from the outpost base, industrial zone, Changjiu Farm to the Elm District will also be renamed the new settlement with his code name.
This will become the capital of the "Restoration Zone".
As for Chu Guang himself.
He will neither be the emperor of the empire nor the chief elected by the representatives of the People's Union, but if necessary, he can appoint both at any time.
With the support of the Revitalization Act, the administrator will govern everything in the "Recovery Zone".
And he is the administrator who governs all of this.
...
The day before the celebration.
The entire outpost was decorated with lights and colors.
Considering the importance of this celebration, Chu Guang established a festival celebration committee, appointed Teng Teng as the director, Ya Ya as the deputy director, Xiao Yu as the mascot + budget supervisor, and allocated a budget of tens of thousands of silver coins to this committee.
In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the players, Chu Guang also promised that after the celebration, if the satisfaction of the questionnaire reaches more than 80%, the "limited title" will be unlocked, and if the satisfaction reaches 90%, it will also be entered into the Hall of Fame as a special achievement.
When they heard that there was a limited title, the little players who received the appointment were instantly excited.
Through the lens of the hummingbird drone, overlooking the festive base and the busy little players in the base, Chu Guang's face showed a smile like a class teacher.
It felt like throwing the blackboard newspaper completely to the students and sitting in the office drinking tea.
As a group of mature little players, they have learned to share the worries of the planners who are too lazy to plan game activities and plan game activities themselves.
It's great...
Looking at the time below the computer, Chu Guang saw that it was almost time, so he turned off the computer and got up and left the manager's office.
At the same time, in front of the elevator on the B1 floor.
Three little players were standing at the door stealthily, as if waiting for something.
Battlefield Lao and I Zuihei, who had just come up from the B2 floor, ran into these guys as soon as they opened the door and were startled by the three faces that suddenly appeared behind the door.
I Zuihei had the biggest reaction.
"Damn it! Are you guys playing ghosts here?"
Silver Sword smiled and waved his hand.
"Go away, go away, we are busy, don't get in the way."
The Silver Hand next to him also echoed excitedly.
"That's right! We are doing something big!"
The three funny guys' serious expressions aroused my curiosity, and I asked curiously.
"What big thing?"
Silver's father smiled calmly and said confidently.
"Isn't there a round B test and celebration tomorrow?"
I was stunned and nodded.
"Yes."
To be precise, the round B test will start after the celebration.
Silver's father continued.
"According to convention, the shelter will unlock new floors, right?"
I was the darkest and the battlefield guy exchanged glances, and the latter nodded with a strange expression.
"It seems... there is such a saying."
Battlefield guy still remembers that it was a post by Mole Brother. This guy serialized "Mole Daily" on the forum and would come up with some new tricks every now and then.
Sometimes, when there is really nothing to do, I just use the small details of the NPC to make up the numbers. Although the players are not interested, they are deeply loved by cloud players.
Before entering the game, Baiyinzhidaddy was also one of the top fans of Brother Mole. Not only did he follow every issue of "Mole Daily", he also read all the discussions under the posts.
"... According to the background setting of the game, not only the manager NPC, but all the residents of Shelter 404, including us, come from the deepest part of the shelter. And every time a new round of testing starts, the shelter will unlock new areas."
I raised my hand.
"I have an objection. The Alpha 1.1 version is not unlocked. All 400 new players came from Shelter 117."
"Yes, your observation is very careful, but it's still a little off," Baiyinzhidaddy nodded approvingly, with an expression of a worldly expert, "The incubators of Shelter 117 were dragged from Shelter 404, and these incubators were transported from the freight elevator on the B1 floor, so in the final analysis, the players of Shelter 117 are also from Shelter 404."
He knows this best.
Because the task of running errands is done by them.
Izuihei said helplessly.
"Well, so what?"
Who the hell pays attention to this when playing games.
Baiyinzhidaddy smiled and said, "There is no space on the B3 floor, and there are no extra rooms in Shelter 117, so I dare to assert that this version update will definitely unlock new rooms!"
Izuihei wanted to ask more questions, but the battlefield guy standing next to him saw through their plan at a glance and said bluntly.
"I understand what you mean. Are you going to keep the bug?"
Silver's father didn't say anything, and the Silver Hand next to him laughed and said.
"Smart!"
My Darkest: "Damn?! Can it be like this?"
Battlefield man rolled his eyes, looked at Old Black and yawned.
"Let's go, let's not waste time with these rookies."
My Darkest looked at him in surprise: "Wait, aren't you curious?"
Silver Sword and Silver Hand also shouted.
"Gan! Are you looking down on our Silver Family?"
"Although my level is not as good as yours, I am also a man who has challenged the tyrant head-on!"
"That's right, thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west... Don't bully the newcomers because they are poor!"
Battlefield man laughed.
"Don't! I didn't say that. I just advise you not to be clever. The NPCs in this game are smarter than you think... Forget it, it's useless to tell you, just feel it with your body."
Throwing down this ambiguous remark, the battlefield guy held his head and left. I left the team temporarily out of curiosity and planned to stay to watch the fun.
At this time, the manager came from the main entrance holding a robot like a wastebasket and stood in front of one of the elevators.
The three people followed immediately.
Chu Guang, who had 19 points of perception, had noticed the three people a long time ago, but he didn't feel any hostility so he ignored them.
Seeing them coming up, Chu Guang looked at them strangely.
"What's the matter?"
Silver Hand: "Dear manager, we are just waiting for the elevator."
Silver Sword: "That's right!"
There was another person who didn't speak, but he should be on the same path.
Chu Guang nodded and said nothing.
As a gentle and easy-going man, he certainly wouldn't bother with the players because of an elevator. There was more than one elevator here, and he was not in a hurry to wait for this one.
After giving the elevator to the three people, Chu Guang went to queue up in front of another elevator. However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he pressed the button, the three people squeezed over again.
Even the best-tempered people were annoyed, and Chu Guang turned around and looked at them.
"What do you want?"
Silver Hand nodded respectfully.
"Dear administrator, we want to use the elevator to go downstairs."
Silver Sword nodded excitedly and said, "That's right!"
Chu Guang: "...?"
Hey?
These guys learn pretty fast.
Ending the topic with repeated lines is a common way that Chu Guang taught "NPCs" to get rid of players' entanglement. I didn't expect that there would be players who learned from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians.
Chu Guang, who was holding Xiao Qi, was happy in his heart, but he didn't make any expression on his face. He said calmly and didn't say anything.
The three players were happy.
This time the NPC didn't change the elevator, so I guess the bug is fixed!
However, just when they thought so, their eyes suddenly turned black, and they kept a silly smile, fell to the ground, and their consciousness left this world.
Izuihei, who was peeking at the side, was also dumbfounded.
Good guy.
Directly disconnected?
Is it so awesome?
Chu Guang looked at Izuihei who was standing aside.
The latter trembled and quickly raised three fingers to swear.
"I swear in the name of the People's Union that I am not in the same group with them. I, I, I have never thought of fixing a bug!"
Hehe.
Chu Guang, who was holding a wastebasket, smiled in his heart, but did not show any reaction on his face, and directly ignored his words.
It was as if what happened to the three people in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"They may have heatstroke. Can you please carry them to the square on the B3 floor for me?"
The signal light of Xiaoqi in Chu Guang's arms flashed.
The pop-up window of the task was immediately updated on my darkest VM.
I clicked to accept without hesitation, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Please leave it to me!"
After saying that, he immediately dragged the three unconscious smart people to another elevator to wait in line.
Chu Guang knocked out several small players who tried to follow him downstairs by bugging, and when he got back on the elevator, he took a deep breath to relax and touched the touch screen of the elevator with his index finger.
The administrator's authority has taken over the control of this elevator, and no one will bother him again.
A light blue light appeared.
As the countdown returned to zero, the button for the B4 floor finally appeared in front of him.
Chu Guang was delighted, silently chanting that the European Emperor was possessed, and pressed it without hesitation.
The elevator slowly descended.
After a short wait, it stopped steadily.
As the silver-white alloy door opened, dry and refreshing air came to his face.
"It's still the familiar smell."
Before going down, Chu Guang took a deep breath to compare it with the B4 floor.
Chu Guang looked around. It was just as clean as the B3 floor when it was just opened, even more dust-free than the dust-free workshop of the electronics factory.
However, the difference is...
There is no familiar square and four functional areas ABCD here, only a corridor extending straight forward.
Chu Guang looked up and saw that there was a door opening to the side at the end of the corridor.
Combined with the floor plan on the wall, the position corresponding to the corridor in front of him should be the horizontal line in the middle of the letter "G".
"Xiao Qi, go ahead and explore the way."
"Okay, master."
Xiao Qi rolled forward consciously, and it had long been accustomed to the master's caution.
Looking at Xiao Qi moving towards the end of the corridor, Chu Guang also took a step towards the outside of the elevator, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed the note that fell next to the elevator door.
This is probably the only garbage here.
Chu Guang reached out and picked it up, reading the familiar handwriting.
[To the manager of Shelter 404, my successor:]
[…Is there any creature in this world that is more suitable to be a leek than a player? Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning? I believe you should have realized my genius now!
Hahahaha, I am a genius for packaging the whole world into a game!
Please don't worship me!
]
Chu Guang: "…"
Who the hell are you!
Leave a name if you have the ability!
To be honest, it is really amazing to be able to invent this "morphogenic field" device, which is at least a "singularity" level technology.
At least the archaeological experts in the academy can't understand it.
However, this first-generation manager obviously doesn't know how to make a game. From the player interface to the core gameplay, as well as the rich economic system, contribution system and the current game screenshot function, they are all designed by himself bit by bit.
Chu Guang admitted that this guy was quite skilled, but the brushes might not have hair.
I can't say I admire him.
I'm half convinced.
[...Ahem, that's enough of the jokes. I'm glad you passed my first test. A person who complains all the time and says this is impossible and that is impossible every day will never get here. And now that you are standing here, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and officially entrust one of my most precious treasures to you. ]
[Clap for yourself, you deserve this honor! The treasure chest for the brave is at the end of this maze, and it's not even hidden. Go quickly, don't stand stupidly at the elevator door. It's really stupid to let the little thing go ahead to explore the way. How can I, a person who is about to be buried, hurt you? They are waiting anxiously. ]
[By the way, since I have helped you so much, can you tell me what year it is now? ]
[You don't have to write it on paper and burn it for me. I don't believe in that thing, not to mention that this paper can't be lit. You can tell me quietly, just as a secret between the two of us. ]
The note ends here.
There is no signature.
"It is 2341, the 212th year of the Wasteland Era..."
Chu Guang blurted out this sentence subconsciously, and suddenly felt stupid. He angrily crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket, and walked to the end of the corridor.
What a waste of time!
Pass through the open alloy door.
The area in front suddenly became clear.
Sofas were displayed in the semi-arc room.
This seemed to be a reading room, but there was no book on the display shelf next to the wall, and nothing else was placed.
The coffee machine leaning against the corridor was a pleasant surprise. The "retro" shape made Chu Guang understand the function of this thing at a glance.
Yin Fang had been complaining to him before that Shelter No. 404 was so poor that it didn't even have a coffee machine. Now this guy can finally shut up.
Unfortunately, there were no coffee beans in it. It seems that before the coffee beans can be self-sufficient, this thing can only be used as a water dispenser.
"This should be a rest area or a reading room."
The space here is quite large, with an area of more than half a playground. Although there are not many sofas, people can still sit on the ground, and it won't be crowded to accommodate four or five hundred people.
However, apart from the function of taking a nap, Chu Guang, who walked around, really couldn't think of any other meaning of this room.
Xiao Qi said in the same confusion.
"But... why can't I see any books here?"
"Maybe people in the prosperous era have other ways to record information..." Chu Guang replied casually, looking at the door at the end of the curved corridor, "Let's continue forward."
Behind the rest area is the fitness area. The spacious room displays these strange fitness equipment and several massage chair-like devices.
"This is much easier to understand. It should be a place for exercise."
Shelter No. 117 also has similar facilities. Good living habits can maintain physical and mental health.
Chu Guang still remembered that he had seen on the forum that some players of the strength system had done special research. The strength system can accumulate the development progress of gene sequences through continuous anaerobic exercise and stimulate certain DNA-specific expressions.
However, this requires great perseverance, and the process is more boring than cutting trees.
Unless someone like Garbage has no choice in winter, few people can stick to it.
Chu Guang did not study the functions of these devices carefully, but chose to continue to explore the treasures left by the first generation of managers.
Behind the fitness area is a closed door. Judging from the reminder written on the wall, it requires the authority of the administrator to unlock it.
Unauthorized entry will trigger an alarm.
Chu Guang has obtained all the permissions of the B4 floor, so he can enter unimpeded.
Rows of metal cabinets are displayed in the room. Chu Guang held his breath and walked forward, opened a cabinet casually, and when he saw the things inside, a surprised expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Light cavalry exoskeleton?!"
Chu Guang's heart moved, and he immediately opened the cabinet next to him.
As expected, there was also a set inside!
"Fuck!"
"I'm rich!"
Although it is a police exoskeleton, it is at least pre-war equipment. Although the polymer bulletproof plate is not durable, its defense is absolutely amazing. The bullets of ordinary light weapons can't penetrate it at all. If it is damaged, it can be replaced with a steel plate.
Chu Guang showed an ecstatic expression on his face, and couldn't wait to open all the cabinets in the preparation room one by one and count them.
A total of 200 sets of Type 5 light cavalry exoskeletons!
And 20 sets of Type 6 heavy cavalry!
In addition, there are more than 300 palm-sized flexible rotors, programmable short-range drones, which automatically follow within a range of 40 meters, and can follow themselves or opponents. While synchronizing the shooting lens on the helmet eyepiece in real time, it can also serve as a law enforcement recorder!
When not in use, it can also be stored on the right shoulder of the exoskeleton for charging, leaving only a section of the camera outside.
Very useful!
Chu Guang studied it carefully.
These equipment stored in the cabinet are much more comprehensive than the five-type and six-type exoskeletons that I got from the blind box!
With these exoskeletons and drones, I can easily put together a semi-mechanized light infantry company.
With a few trucks converted into anti-aircraft guns and recoilless gun vehicles, a mechanized unit has everything it should have!
Xiao Qi got close to Chu Guang's calf, and the camera on his head looked around curiously.
"I didn't expect that it has been more than two hundred years, and it's still as good as new."
"Maybe this floor was just ventilated when we came in, maybe it's some special technology... Who knows." Chu Guang put the exoskeleton he took out back into the cabinet temporarily with a look of love on his face.
Damn!
Why didn't you give me these good things earlier!
In addition to the exoskeleton and the supporting drones, there are more than 300 batons and explosion-proof shields, as well as 50 "Silver Snake" revolvers, the same model that he picked up on the B2 floor before.
Perhaps they anticipated that they might face some ridiculously large monsters after the shelter was opened, so the calibers of these pistols were large.
However, Chu Guang was a little surprised that he did not see any rifles or submachine guns here.
"Speaking of which... there is one thing I can't figure out."
Chu Guang stared at the door leading to the gym and rest area, thinking, "Why is the preparation room for storing equipment behind the rest area and gym area?"
This layout is very strange.
Each floor should have a corresponding function, but Chu Guang couldn't figure out the connection between this room and the previous two rooms no matter how hard he thought.
Xiao Qi: "Hmm... maybe these equipments were transferred from other places? For example, the maintenance rooms on the B1 and B3 floors?"
Xiao Qi's suggestion reminded Chu Guang that there were similar maintenance rooms at the two exits of the shelter, between the buffer room and the gear-shaped metal giant door.
The cabinets there were slightly larger than here, and players were currently renting them as lockers.
Think about it carefully...
These equipments might have been transferred from those two places.
"Makes sense."
Chu Guang looked at the door at the end of the maintenance room.
That was the last unexplored area.
Chu Guang had reason to believe that what the first-generation manager called a "treasure" could not be just over 200 exoskeletons.
Unlocked the last door with authority.
Chu Guang walked in with Xiao Qi.
It was a round room with dim light inside, but the moment he stepped into the room, the soft light slowly lit up the entire room.
Four familiar devices were quietly lined up in the room, causing Chu Guang to hold his breath involuntarily.
Black box!
The universal wishing machine in the eyes of countless wastelanders, the crystallization of advanced productivity and technology of pre-war civilization!
And there are actually four of them here!
However, what surprised him most was not the four black boxes lying in the corner of the room, but the black cylinder in the center of the room that was as thick as a thousand-year-old tree - or a cylindrical terminal.
His intuition told him.
The "treasure" mentioned by the first generation of managers is this thing!
"Xiao Qi..."
The wastepaper basket following Chu Guang's calf raised the camera very sensibly.
"Here, Master, do you need me to go up and take a look?"
"...No, wait for me here."
With trepidation and excitement, Chu Guang walked in front of the black cylinder. The diameter of more than ten meters made him look as small as a leaf.
How should this thing be used?
Thinking so in his heart, Chu Guang subconsciously put his palm on it, and a cold feeling came from the metallic shell, and then circles of light blue ripples appeared on the black shell.
Holographic image?
Before Chu Guang could react to what happened, countless light blue light particles fell from the "tree canopy" like stars in the sky, landed around him, and stopped steadily
His Adam's apple moved, and Chu Guang looked at everything around him, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"... This is."
Half a sentence had just come out.
Lines of familiar IDs appeared in his pupils through the light particles.
Not only that, there were also corresponding serial numbers.
Chu Guang immediately understood what this thing in front of him was.
"... Is this the 'morphogenic field'?"
Or the tip of the iceberg.
From the ripples flashing on the light particles, Chu Guang found that he could faintly sense those fluctuating emotions.
Invisible threads crossed the dimensional wall, connecting the flickering mirror consciousnesses.
Chu Guang didn't understand the principle behind this.
But he could sense their existence.
"It turns out that the incubator is just a signal repeater... this terminal is the port connecting to the 'other world'."
"In other words... the damage to the incubator will not cause the player to be deregistered?"
In other words, the resurrection point can be deployed outside the safe zone!
Chu Guang operated the screen with his index finger thoughtfully, and a line of light blue windows appeared in front of him.
