This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 75: A warehouse manager who knows how to do farm work
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
"Brother, why is your electric stove not working so well?"
"...Maybe the power is not enough. I will think about it again and see if I can use these copper wires to build a larger generator."
"Steady, brother!"
When leaving the carpentry hut, Chu Guang passed by the industrial area and saw several players in front of the steel-making blast furnace, thinking about how to improve steel-making technology.
The electric stove modified from scrap products seems to have failed. The problem seems to be the power. The two players are discussing how to imitate a more powerful generator.
It would be great if it worked.
Muttering "Come on" silently in his heart, Chu Guang, who was carrying a hammer, walked to the side of the brick kiln and found [Leave a Man Under the Knife] who was instructing other players to bake bricks.
Since Lao Bai became a hunter player, the position of construction captain fell to Brother Dao, who was born in civil engineering.
"The three-meter-high wall is still too short. I don't know when the second round of the predators' offensive will come. I plan to strengthen the defense of the outpost. Do you have any good suggestions?"
I didn’t expect that the manager would come to discuss such an important issue with me.
Leu Ren was pleasantly surprised at first, and immediately started to think seriously.
"Judging from the weapons of the predators, they use more incendiary bottles, projectiles and light weapons. Although the wall can prevent them from breaking through our defense line, it actually does not provide us with much advantage in the actual exchange of fire!"
“My suggestion is that we can pool building materials to build 3 to 4-meter-high bunkers outside the wall, and then connect these bunkers with Z-shaped trenches!”
Hearing this little player’s suggestion, Chu Guang’s eyes lit up.
This is a really good idea.
Predators are very similar to goblins in fantasy movies. Their firepower and melee capabilities are not very strong. Their advantages are intimidation and harassment.
Intimidation has no effect on the players, it will only make these madmen more excited. The only thing that needs to be limited is their ability to harass.
A bunker provides frontal suppression, and trenches on the flanks perfectly limit the Reaver's maneuverability.
Is a predator who has lost his mobility still a predator?
Those are all mobile "experience packages"!
Even if they grit their teeth and break through the defensive gap and jump into the trenches, what awaits them is an even more brutal **** storm.
If you can't aim at someone with your gun, that's a matter of ability.
Do we still need to worry about this issue when fighting with bayonets in the trenches?
In the minds of these players, there is no concept of retreat. They are so desperate that they will take away a few even if they are self-defeating.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang made a decision immediately.
"Just do it this way, how many manpower do you need?"
Knife Xia Liuren thought about it in his mind and said.
"Give me 20 people, and I can do it in three days! 30 people, two days at most!"
Digging trenches is not difficult. With tools like shovels and a few strength players, it can be done in less than a day.
The main structure will be dug out first, and then it will be slowly reinforced with wood.
As for the bunker.
The kind made by pouring concrete is useless, as the defense power is too much. It is not a problem to drag some hardened cement blocks from the abandoned construction site, use wood and discarded steel bars to make beams, and build an earthen bunker.
Chu Guang nodded.
"I'll give you 40 people!"
"40? Isn't that too many?" Daoxia Liuren was stunned for a moment.
Chu Guang shook his head.
"What we lack is not people, but time. A group of reinforcements will arrive on the surface tomorrow, and I will hand over all these new people to you by then."
There are 40 people in this batch who have qualified for the closed beta test, which is the largest number in the past.
With so many new people coming into the game, we have to find something to do for them, so as to save so many people from wandering around in the base like headless chickens.
By the way, let them get familiar with the culture of migrant workers in Shelter 404.
In order to make Daohia Liuren pay enough attention to this task, Chu Guang paused for a moment after finishing speaking, and continued to speak in a serious tone.
"This task is very critical, and I hope you take it seriously. In addition, your contribution points and rewards will be determined by the quality of the fortifications."
"If the fortifications you design perform well in the next battle, there will be additional rewards."
Although the manager did not tell him how much the reward was, looking at the NPC's serious look, he directly assigned it to the hidden mission.
I saw him standing up straight in excitement, pressing his right fist firmly against his left chest, and said energetically.
"Guaranteed to complete the task!"
"Very good."
Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.
"For the rest of the day, you first take out the plan, mark it outside the wall, and start construction immediately early tomorrow morning."
"Go ahead."
……
We captured a scout last night. There was no movement from the marauders all day today. I don’t know what the people of the Bloody Hand clan were thinking.
Are you planning to wait for them to attack?
Qiu Feng's raiding team and reconnaissance scouts have not returned. No matter how slow the other party is, they should realize that those people will never go back.
The hunting teams scattered around the north and east sides of the wetland park are not only hunting, but also cooperating with observation points to hunt for predator scouts.
Wearing an exoskeleton on the body is quite troublesome, especially when there is a big hammer weighing 20 to 30 kilograms on the back.
Chu Guang walked to the generator and unloaded the equipment, found a wire to connect the KV-1 exoskeleton to power, started charging, and then patrolled the outpost.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that two players were squatting in the corner next to the granary, muttering about something, so he walked over and took a look.
"What are you doing?"
The two players squatting on the ground stood up.
"Dear Manager, we think this stuff looks familiar, a bit like the green wheat we ate before."
As he spoke, the player stretched out his index finger and pointed at a few green wheat ears dangling beside the granary.
In fact, its shape is more like a foxtail grass than an ear of wheat. There is a bunch of unopened ears on the thin stem, and green seeds that are larger than sesame seeds are sandwiched under the thin cilia on the edge.
Chu Guang has never planted this thing before. He has only grown potato potatoes before, but they haven't grown yet.
Although I had imported a lot of green wheat before, I had never seen where the green wheat came from, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while.
Thinking that there happened to be someone knowledgeable in the outpost, Chu Guang went to the warehouse, called old Luca who was standing there and was familiar with his position, and took him to the granary.
Luca just glanced at it, without even squatting down to confirm, he nodded and said in a positive tone.
"Sir, this is indeed green wheat, and it looks like it has been growing for half a month. But the seedlings were planted at the wrong time, and they look like they are going to fall. In addition, there was frost this morning, and it will take two days at the latest. If it snows, I'm afraid the seedlings won't survive for a few days."
What the hell?
Is it really Qingmai?
Looking at the crumbling seedlings on the ground for a while, Chu Guang guessed that a few grains should have been scattered there when moving the grain.
"Can you grow this thing?"
"Sir, you are joking. This old slave has been doing farm work for decades...Besides, green wheat is not wheat. This crop is actually derived from foxtail grass. It is not difficult to grow. Like It's a potato, and you have to wait for it to sprout, cut it into pieces, and plaster it. For green wheat, you don't even have to make seeds. Just find a piece of land and scatter it. After two or three months, a crop will grow, just like grass. ." Luka said softly.
"So magical?" Chu Guang said blankly.
"It's not magical, the main thing is...this kind of food is not a good thing. It is usually given to us servants. If you have seen what it looks like when it is freshly cut, you will know why I say this. The sour nose smell really smells like grass. It only gets better after being exposed to the sun."
Chu Guang: "..."
Luca glanced at Chu Guang cautiously and continued muttering.
"But this thing also has advantages. It grows quickly, has deep roots, can absorb water, is drought-tolerant, can survive in moderate temperatures, and does not require much care. The only disadvantage is that you cannot cut too much in one crop. The output is not good."
"The ears can be cut off to fill the stomach and feed the livestock. They can be burned to ashes by burning them on the fire and turned into the soil. They can also be used as potassium fertilizer, or they can be cut and composted for fermentation. This kind of thing, we Generally, it is interspersed with other crops in rotation."
"If there is some residual fertilizer left in the soil, for example, after planting, and you scatter the seeds, it will not be a problem to produce four to five hundred kilograms per acre. If you plant it alone, the harvest will be average. The ears are not big and small. It’s similar to the one growing on your wall, weighing dozens of kilograms per acre is enough.”
"...In my impression, merchants coming from the north will buy some of this food, and the nearby survivor strongholds will also buy some, but those coming from the south will rarely buy it."
Chu Guang has always been curious about what kind of variant this green wheat is, but now he has solved the case.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was a mutation of the dogtail grass?
No wonder the survivors on Beit Street ground this stuff into flour pancakes, or boiled it into a paste over high fire, presumably to evaporate more oxalic acid.
So it turns out that I have been feeding the players?
Chu Guang’s expression was a little subtle.
In short, it is better not to update this information on the official website.
"Then what crops did you usually grow before?" Chu Guang changed the topic and continued to ask.
"There are a lot of them. Green wheat and potato are the cheapest and are available all year round. Fruits and vegetables are a little more expensive, and they are grown in greenhouses. The ones that are large in quantity, profitable and easy to sell are the red rib leaves, which can be used when dried. As tobacco leaves, both scavengers and merchants can afford it. I think some people also use it as a substitute for spices to cover up some of the fishy smell. In addition, there is also a crop called Camu tree, which will produce A yellow-green fruit."
"What is that?" Chu Guang asked immediately.
Luca shook his head and said.
"Sir, how can a farmer say this to servants like us? I only saw businessmen from Boulder City coming over and buying them by the box. To be honest, that stuff doesn't taste good and tastes like tires. . But you can get a lot of oil by cutting the bark. Our generator burns that oil. It can be used after a little purification."
Chu Guang thought for a moment.
"Maybe that Camu Camu fruit was not meant to be eaten."
With Luka's level of knowledge, of course he couldn't understand this sentence, but he was very smart and didn't say anything. He waited submissively and only answered the questions asked by his master.
Chu Guang took out a small notebook and jotted down a few notes in it.
[1. Wasteland tips: Brown Farm grows an economic crop called Camu tree. The fruit is suspected to be able to refine rubber, and the tree oil can be used as fuel. 】
[2. Force intelligence: Brown Farm has close business dealings with the outside world, owns slaves and hoards a certain number of weapons, and deliberately hides its strength. Its real economic situation and combat effectiveness may be slightly stronger than they appear on the surface. The threat level is appropriately raised from C- to C, and the favorability of the force remains neutral (0). 】
[3. Force intelligence: Vault 404 outpost has a harmonious relationship with the scavengers on Beit Street. The threat level remains E- and the force favorability is increased from neutral (30) to friendly (50). 】
【4. A new NPC is added to the outpost: Warehouse Manager Luca. Old Luca was a serf with a miserable life. After being rescued from gunpoint by the administrator, he swore allegiance to the shelter. His ideal was to make there no longer be hunger in the wasteland.
He suffers from severe arthritis in his legs and cannot do heavy work. Helping him move things may be a good way to increase his favorability. Please note that stealing and other behaviors will lower his evaluation of you. In addition, his experience with various plants in the wasteland is a valuable asset and may come in handy during the spring plowing season. 】
