"You can be sure that this bottle of milk is not poisonous!"

After staring at the plastic bottle for a while, Yaya stroked her chin with a resourceful expression, and came to a positive conclusion.

Lucius nodded and took back the bottle.

"Thanks."

Yaya asked curiously.

"By the way, what kind of milk is this? Is it delicious?"

Lucius answered casually.

"Probably milk, do you want to have a sip?"

"Want!"

When she said this, Yaya kept secretly looking at the VM on her arm. She had heard from Shuri that there would be a reminder if the task was triggered.

Strange, why is there no response at all?

Lucius didn't notice her little thought, but just took some with the bottle cap and handed it to Yaya.

After Yaya took it carefully, she moved her nose closer and sniffed, an indescribable expression suddenly appeared on her face.

"It smells weird, is this really milk?"

"Maybe camel milk."

"?"

What is maybe?! Anyway, for the sake of favorability and hidden missions, Yaya still held his nose and drank it. Maybe it's really camel milk, anyway, the taste is difficult to evaluate, and it can't be called delicious.

I always feel that I have drunk it, but I forgot when it happened.

Seeing that she had no adverse reactions, Lucius turned around and left with confidence.

Looking at the back of Manager who left, Yaya stood there for a long time, and only blinked when the back disappeared at the gate.

Wait, what about the mission rewards? Did you forget to give it again?

The little players next to them had noticed the situation here long ago, and when they saw Manager walking away, they immediately yelled.

"Ooooh, what did I see?"

"Pass it on, Manager will feed the crows!"

"It's being passed on, Yaya is feeding the manager!"

"What?! Boss Yaya is being managed—"

"Die you all!"

Yaya, whose anger was exploding, grabbed a bunch of big mushrooms and threw them out. The player who was hit by the mushrooms picked up the mushrooms and ran away.

...

Official Website Announcement:

[ Recently, our shelter has welcomed a group of nomads from the wilderness. They settled near us out of admiration for civilization. Please treat them kindly, so that more NPCs will join us. Remember, your words and deeds will affect the world's evaluation of you. ]

[ Update Npc Stronghold: Nomads.]

Forum:

Big Eyes in Debt: "6666!"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Master planner is awesome! (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)"

Crazy Bookworm: "What about Alpha0.6? We need Alpha0.6!!"

Irena: "Careful planner will add a version number to you, and then the warm reminder you see now becomes a version update announcement. (⁠⁠ᴗ⁠⁠)"

Scrambled Eggs: "People can't, at least they shouldn't."

Richest Elf King: "Brother, what happened to the book yesterday, did you find anything in the department store?"

Irena: "I found a hammer to look for, and there was a crawler inside. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Tomorrow said that there may be a shelter hidden there, and we plan to spend some time chewing it down."

Mole In The Hole: "Shelter?!"

Irena: "It's not that kind of large shelter, it's probably a small shelter or something, and it's very likely that some accident happened. It's hard to say what's left inside, let's take a look."

Tabletop Cop: "It's reasonable to occupy the supermarket in the early days of the end of the world."

Shuri: "Does anyone know how to weave? My eyes are going to blur. (⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠)"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "The old buddies in the forum only study things that are relatively criminal. It's really embarrassing for you to let them think about it. (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠"

...

Put the milk in the refrigerator.

After returning to the shelter, Lucius went to the B2 floor to take a shower, then returned to the residents' hall on the B1 floor, sat in front of the computer and started planning the work that should be done.

Today's official website is as lively as ever.

The hottest post is still from Brother Tomorrow. But this time it was not because of the strategy, but because of a piece of equipment.

At the moment when the per capita deposit is less than 100, being able to take out 200 silver coins to take a bow is simply beyond description.

After all, in the early stage, everyone used their money to buy equipment, bullets, and supplies. How could they save so much money.

Living up to the expectations of the old buddies on the forum, Tomorrow shared his experience in using the mechanical compound bow, and even gave his bow a coquettish name-"Breaking Dawn".

"This 'Breaking Dawn' is good for everything, but it's too powerful!"

"Especially for charged shooting, ordinary wooden arrows can't withstand it at all. Press and hold the switch on the bow body after the string is full, you can start the electric drive connected to the gear to empower the bow limbs, and it won't feel difficult to pull. However The moment I let go, I felt that I weighed at least a hundred pounds! With a full charge, it is estimated that it can weigh up to two hundred! One arrow shot past, and the head of the eater exploded directly!"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Did you shoot the cannonball?"

Richest Elf King: "I cried with envy!"

The Thunder King: "Laugh, what do you think of 200 pounds? My ancestors lived on the prairie, a bow, 500 pounds is the basic, if it is less than a thousand pounds, you are ashamed to call yourself a man. "

Irena: "Yes yes yes, after all bragging doesn't pay taxes. (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠"

Crazy Bookworm: "This equipment is too unbalanced. It's stronger than a gun. Is it reasonable not to cut it?!"

Seeing someone clamoring to cut it, Tomorrow immediately panicked and explained.

"What's unreasonable about this? The background is set in the near future. Is 200 pounds too much? It's not too much at all! Have you ever played graphics card crisis? The compound bow inside has electromagnetic acceleration!"

"And this thing is very arrow-consuming. There are only twenty arrows in a bundle, and the arrows shot out with full power can't be recovered. Unless I encounter a big guy who is difficult to deal with, I usually dare not use this trick!"

Mole In The Hole: "I suspect you're in Versailles!"

Richest Elf King: "That's right! Versailles!"

Tomorrow Seeker: "..."

In fact, in the long run, it is definitely worth spending 200 silver coins to buy this bow, because inflation will inflate, but the equipment of "Wasteland OL" will not.

The official equipment produced by Shelter No.404 will always be the first echelon, and the awesome weapons will always be awesome even if they are used in the off server.

Of course, the premise is that the weapon is not broken and the equipment cannot be dropped.

The death penalty in this game is far more than a simple contribution of loss points. As everyone's equipment becomes more and more expensive, the loss of death drops also comes with the cost of equipment loss.

This is especially unfriendly to lone wolf players. Levels and experience can be archived, but equipment cannot be saved.

If unfortunately lying dead, and there is no good friend to help pick up the equipment and VM, you can only find someone on the forum for help or post a reward.

In addition to Brother Tomorrow in Versailles, there are still many people discussing internal combustion engines and steam engines on the forum.

As for the cause, it was a help post sent by Ms. Shuri.

These old men don't know what textile is, and they don't care about the landlord's problems at all, they just want to find a place to brag.

The topic quickly changed from the Jenny machine to the most advanced non-woven fabric and melt blown technology. It's hard for them, they pretend to be aggressive while checking the information.

However, occasionally one or two real bosses can appear in the post.

With the current conditions of the shelter base, it might be a bit difficult to manufacture an internal combustion engine. After all, the steel factory is still researching seamless steel pipes.

If you want to build an internal combustion engine casing that can withstand continuous high-temperature and high-pressure gas, you must at least unlock the cold rolling process first.

But then again, who weaves with an internal combustion engine?

I can't think about it. Instead, a steam engine would be a good idea.

Continuous combustion boilers release energy relatively gently, and do not require so much material strength. The most important thing is that they are not picky about fuel.

Whether it is used for power generation or for industrial production, it is a good idea.

While looking at the forum, Shuri frantically took notes, spoke diligently and asked questions, trying to straighten the crooked building.

It seems that she intends to build a steam-powered spinning machine modeled after the ancient Jenny machine.

The players on the forum, whether they are combat professional players or life professional players, are so outstanding.

Looking at these thriving young leeks, Lucius's heart was filled with the joy of his old father.

Very nice.

...

It snowed all night last night.

In the early morning of the next day, the ground was covered with thick snow again. At the east gate of the outpost, three old men in animal skin clothes who looked about forty or fifty hovered at the gate, as if they wanted to come over, but they didn't dare to get too close.

Feeling that they seemed to have something to do, Lucius called them over.

"What are you doing here?"

Afraid of offending the ruler, the old man lowered his head tremblingly and said.

"My lord, we have no malicious intentions, just want to see if there is anything you need help with."

"We're trying to get some work to do."

"We are old and can't catch up with the prey, but we can still do some jobs such as moving things, repairing houses, and sewing."

I'm looking for a job.

Lucius's heart moved slightly, and he spoke.

"The snow on the shelter road needs to be cleared, and each person costs 2 silver coins a day. If you want to do this work, go to Luka."

The warehouse and granary have been handed over to the newly trained warehouse administrators, and the old Luka is their foreman, responsible for communicating with other NPCs, including trading with the survivors on Beit Street, including conveying the shelter "will" to the refugees ".

The identity is a bit similar to that of a housekeeper.

After hearing Lucius's words, the eyes of the three old people lit up. Two silver coins can be exchanged for two kilograms of croissants.

Three people together, that's six kilograms of croissants!

Such a low salary is definitely something that no player is willing to do. After all, the "Hourly salary" of the players is at least 1 silver coin, and it is not worth it if it is too low. But for refugees, this salary is already very high.

"Thank you, my lord!"

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"Don't worry, leave it to us!"

There are brooms made of wooden branches in the warehouse, as well as dustpans and shovels for shoveling snow. Shovel the snow into the cart, push it out of the shelter and dump it.

However, apart from the trolleys, these refugees did not use the tools in the warehouse, but returned to the village to bring their own work tools, and they were busy working in the camp with great enthusiasm.

Lucius ordered Popi to watch them, and then he ignored the matter and wandered to the industrial area alone.

When he walked into the industrial area, Lucius found that [ WC Really Has Mosquitoes ] and [ Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet ] two little players were standing at the door of the Shuri hut, measuring with a ruler, and gesturing to communicate.

Out of curiosity, Lucius stepped forward and asked.

"What are you guys doing?"

Hearing Manager's voice, the two immediately stopped their work and said excitedly.

"My dear manager, we are designing a steam boiler!"

"That's right! This is a new job for our steel factory!"

"It's also a new job for goblin technology!"

Steam engine. It seems like they discussed it on the forum a few hours ago, and they didn't expect to use it so soon.

The efficiency is quite high.

"What are you going to do? Burn wood?"

Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet ask: "The firewood is not strong enough. Our preliminary plan is to make a wood vaporizer like the generator you bought! While burning the boiler, the heat generated by the boiler can also be used to vaporize the wood!"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "In fact, I planned to use biogas at the beginning. Our septic tanks are full of excrement, but it is a bit difficult to collect, and the heat in the manure pile in winter seems not enough, so we can only wait for the next spring Do more research."

Lucius: "Well, you should think about it."

The speed of manual spinning and weaving is too slow.

The shelter does not have such a huge manpower. The cocoons of devil moths have piled up into a hill outside the warehouse, and a second hill will soon be piled up without accident.

If the textile industry can be developed before the spring of the next year, not only will the defense of the players rise to a higher level, but the shelter can also earn a large amount of "foreign exchange" through the trade of devil silk cloth, and use the earned foreign exchange to develop more advanced industry.

It just so happened that female workers could be recruited in the refugee camp, and when the time came, the textile factory would be deployed at the east gate, and that area would be a light industrial area in the future.

Passing by the side of the steel plant, Lucius saw [ Ward's Beriberi Levin ].

Instead of thinking about the steam engine with his good friend, the old man pushed a red-hot "Big iron pot" with a trolley, trotted out of the factory building, and rolled it into the snowdrift.

"Sting" sounded.

White mist came out, and the red-hot iron tank instantly cooled down, and more than half of the pile of snow melted away, turning into steaming water.

"What is this?" Lucius asked curiously as he saw Brother Levin who was picking up snow and pouring it on the big iron pot.

Levin turned his head and said with a smile.

"107mm mortar, my lord!"

What?

Lucius stared at this thing for a while, and couldn't help asking.

"...You call this a cannon?"

"That's right, although it's just a barrel," Brother Levin continued with a chuckle, "The stamping process still needs a little time, and our budget is almost exhausted, so we can only do some new work first."

"It just so happened that Goblin Technology placed an order. Brother Mosquito said, big is justice, and justice is explosion. He wants us to help him get a barrel that is thick enough and big enough, even if it is a cast barrel. He will figure out the rifling It’s fine if you can’t rub it out. I thought the job wasn’t too difficult, so I got one for him... Hehe, it’s a big order of 200 silver coins.”

Lucius didn't know how to complain for a while. But……

This thing should be more reliable than rockets, right? Perhaps.
