Yesterday's snow seemed to be just a coincidence.
The morning sun of the next morning still carried the warmth of autumn.
Walking out of the shelter, Mr. Garbage cautiously looked outside, and after realizing that it was not as cold as he had imagined, he finally heaved a sigh of relief, and happily ran outside wagging his tail.
It's too cold at night.
Its launch time had to be changed back.
Except for Lucius and Mr. Garbage, no one seemed to be in a hurry, but had some expectations for the coming cold winter. Especially for players in the south, there are not many opportunities to see heavy snow.
Now in this wasteland, there is snowflakes floating in the sky before september is over. If you want to wait another ten and a half months, you should be able to enjoy the next game.
Go through the walls of the outpost.
Lucius patrolled his territory, and at the same time silently calculated in his heart which piece of land would be better to enclose next.
Is it north or south?
This question is worth thinking about.
At this time, when he walked to the door, he found that two young players were busy in front of the north gate, building a door-shaped shelf with wood.
look at the shape...
A bit like the gallows at the gate of Brown Farm?
"...What are you doing here?"
Seeing the manager, the two players immediately stopped their work and looked over excitedly.
Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet: "My dear manager, we are making gallows!"
Lucius: "...Gallows? What are you doing with that thing?"
Ward's Beriberi Levin: "This is wasteland! Of course we something to panish evil people!"
Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet: "Yes, and it's very practical! If anyone violates the law of the shelter, we will hang him up! Hehe."
Lucius: "..."
Can. But it's not necessary.
Except for these two weirdo in front of him, the other players in the shelter looked quite normal. Either they are busy doing tasks, or they are busy cutting trees and moving bricks to work.
The outpost is in the early stages of development, and everything is missing, except for jobs, so there is no need to worry about players not being able to find something to do.
It doesn't matter if there are one or two fishers once in a while, just let them go. The art of management does not lie in micromanagement, but in the control of the general direction, as long as the overall players are still diligent.
Unless someone has not been online for a long time, he will probably take care of it. If it is confirmed that it is AFK, he will give someone else the qualification for the closed test.
As for how the system retrieves the helmet, how to deliver it, and whether it will cause any trouble, that is not something he worries about.
If it can be done, there is a reason why it can be done, and when there are enough clues, it will naturally be known.
Unfounded 'Infinite skepticism' has no meaning. Although scientific thinking emphasizes that 'Doubt includes self-doubt', it also emphasizes the need to talk about evidence in everything and not to take conjecture as truth.
So why bother with so many 'Parallel worlds'? I can't go back.
Walking to the woodworking hut, Lucius counted the equipment on the shelves.
So far, Brother Mosquito has made 15 wooden bows and hundreds of arrows, and he has become more and more proficient in making and processing.
Not only that, Lucius found that this guy is simply a genius, not only has novel ideas, but also draws inferences at work.
For example, just for this arrow, he designed two different arrows.
One is to use the principle of heat expansion and contraction, to heat the arrowhead and put it into a wooden strip with a fixed groove. After natural cooling, the arrowhead will be tightly combined with the arrow shaft. This kind of arrow can be used repeatedly. Until the arrow is completely scrapped.
The other simply uses a mixture of pine resin and animal fat to stick the rust flakes directly on the arrow shaft.
Although this kind of arrow is disposable and has poor penetration, as long as it can be shot effectively, it can basically leave the rusty arrow in the opponent's body, causing continuous damage.
Even if he did not lose his mobility on the spot, he would most likely die of tetanus or other infections in a few days.
"Master Manager? I was planning to find you."
Seeing Lucius appearing at the door, Brother Mosquito's eyes lit up, put down the tools in his hand and stood up from the chair.
Lucius looked at him and said, "I'm just here to hang around, do you have anything to report to me?"
"I have already made the gunpowder you told me to make!"
As he said that, Mosquito dug out a jar of black gunpowder in a glass bottle from the shelf, and handed it to Lucius excitedly, which made the latter take a half step back, and almost kicked this guy offline without authority.
"It's okay, there is no open flame here, it's very safe! Hehe."
Mosquito smiled and continued.
"I made it with the formula I found on the Internet, using 74.6% potassium nitrate. According to this ratio, the gunpowder can burn most fully!"
As before, Lucius ignored the non-game content mentioned by the players in the conversation, took a careful look at the glass bottle, and nodded.
"Good job... have you tried it?"
"I can give you an experiment right now! Please come with me!"
As he said that, the Mosquito took the manager outside the woodworking hut, and took out a small glass bottle with a volume of about 150ml from his pocket.
It was filled with gunpowder, a cotton thread was inserted into the mouth of the bottle, and an oil seal was made with animal fat.
I saw him trot out for a certain distance, put the glass bottle next to a tree, lit the cotton thread with a match, and then ran away.
As the cotton thread burned out, there was only a loud noise like thunder, and the glass bottle exploded violently, tearing apart the skin and flesh on the surface of the tree trunk, and it collapsed precariously.
Many players who were cutting trees nearby were startled by the sound, and ran over to watch the excitement.
"F*ck?! Brother can do it!"
"Created TNT?"
TNT
"What TNT, you know TNT, the smoke is obviously black powder. But it is also very strong! Everyone knows the recipe, but the raw materials are too difficult to get."
"The boss is awesome!!"
Obviously heard the compliments from other players.
Mosquito looked excitedly at the manager next to him, his face brimming with excitement.
"How?"
Lucius's face was also full of surprise.
This……Is this player too punishing?
A carpenter knows so much what he wants to do.
"...Very well, your performance has exceeded my expectations. Although the smoke produced is a bit bigger and the power of the explosion needs to be improved, these are not problems. I will report your credit to the organization, and you will get 500 contribution points reward."
"In addition, you can try to get out smokeless gunpowder, such as nitrocellulose. If you can succeed, the shelter will reward you with 1000 contribution points, and I will also have new job assignments here for you."
New job?
The expression on Mosquito's face was instantly excited. Does this mean hidden missions? In fact, it doesn't matter if there are no hidden tasks, the reward of 1000 contribution points is already attractive enough.
Since the alpha0.3 version, the income of contribution points has been reduced, and the contribution of daily active tasks is only 160, and the contribution of part-time jobs is also around this figure. 1000 contribution points are already very strong.
Although I am now a citizen, who would mind contributing more? It will only become more and more difficult to obtain this thing in the future.
He remembered that the plan had drawn cakes on the official website. In the future, the status level above citizenship will be opened, and more land can be bought at that time.
Mosquito said happily.
"No problem, my Lord Manager! I'll try it after I get the nitric acid and sulfuric acid out!"
Lucius nodded, told him to go back and get busy first, and then inspected the side of the blast furnace. In order to facilitate transportation, earthen kilns for simmering charcoal and cement kilns for burning cement are all built in a row, almost forming a conventional industrial area.
The fire was running continuously, and even the temperature nearby was two degrees higher than other places.
Since 'Ward's Beriberi Levin' and 'Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet' improved the process of indigenous steelmaking, the carbon chamber and the melting iron chamber were separated, and the iron oxide was reduced by incompletely combusted carbon monoxide, while Not directly using charcoal to restore.
In this way, the carbon content of the steel waste used as raw material will not increase too much during the smelting process, and it is not necessary to repeatedly forge and quench to remove carbon as before to form steel.
Although it is impossible to restore the material to the way it was two hundred years ago, the strength of the material in all aspects must be much stronger than that of raw ore smelting. After all, the rare metals that were originally mixed in the steel will not disappear out of thin air, and some of them can still remain.
Experience is always found out little by little. Looking at the enthusiastic players, Lucius was also full of emotion.
A few days ago, the tools of the outpost had to be imported from the nearby Brown Farm, which needed to be exchanged for animal furs. Now, players have not only learned to use the metal scraps they picked up to smelt, but they can even produce the tools they need by themselves.
The carpentry hut solves the immediate needs. And here is the place where miracles can truly be born.
"The production efficiency of these earthen kilns is still a little behind. Expansion of facilities requires more building materials and tools. To achieve this, some players must have direct or indirect control of production materials, so as to give full play to the initiative of the players. and ideas, giving them free rein to improve production.”
"I think... Later versions can designate this area as an industrial zone, clearly stipulate the land use, and allow players who have reached the citizenship level to rent land here, open workshops, and engage in light industrial processing, so as to directly control part of it. means of production."
"As for heavy industries such as steelmaking and cement, which have large output, large initial investment, and unstable returns, you can set up a 'Public' steel plant and cement plant, and appoint professional players with outstanding abilities in the form of 'Hidden tasks' As the factory manager, overall planning and production can be regarded as indirect control of production materials."
"In terms of balance... just use the tax and land rent settings to solve it. Anyway, the players came up with it themselves."
Lucius, who touched his chin, thought in his heart.
As a qualified planner, the first priority is to understand what the current version needs.
For example, if everyone can't rank ADC, then strengthen the ADC. If they all ran to be shooting dads, then they would chop a knife on the shooting dad's head, or enhance the jungle. The biggest difference between games and reality is that reforms and policy adjustments, in reality, have costs. But to adjust the balance in the game, everyone will scold the dog plan at most, as long as it is not impossible to play, what should be done in the end.
"Master Manager!"
Hearing someone calling him, Lucius stopped and looked back, only to see a player with a bow and arrow running towards him panting.
"what's the matter?"
"On the north side of the outpost, near the viaduct, two people came, leading a cow with two heads! The one with the head looked familiar, very similar to the people who came to us before!"
The player put his hands on his knees and reported the situation intermittently.
A cow with two heads?
Could it be the merchant from Honghe Town?
So fast?
Lucius was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he gave instructions to the players.
"Take me there."
"Yes!"
Yesterday's snow seemed to be just a coincidence.
The morning sun of the next morning still carried the warmth of autumn.
Walking out of the shelter, Mr. Garbage cautiously looked outside, and after realizing that it was not as cold as he had imagined, he finally heaved a sigh of relief, and happily ran outside wagging his tail.
