This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 183.2: The Ark Project



There were only fifteen guards.

These people not only had to be responsible for the security of the outpost, but also needed to take care of the Longevity Town. In addition, a new gathering point had recently been opened, so there was a serious shortage of manpower.

After listening to Wrench, Chu Guang thought for a moment and then said, "When I go back, I will tell Luca to recruit some new people from Baker Street and the refugee camp, and gradually expand the size of the guard from the original 15 people to 45 people. At that time, I will need you to assist him to select the right people to work as guards."

Wrench replied respectfully, "Yes, sir."

...

Back in Shelter 404.

According to the instruction manual of exoframe, Chu Guang made a data card for his new equipment and updated it in the official website database.

It was not to show off, but to fool players.

[Equipment: Exoframe]

[Model: P-10A Carlos Industrial Security, Order]

[Durability: 100%]

[Armor: 100%]

[Energy: 79%]

[Shield: ]

[Net Weight: 1100 kilograms]

[Left Arm: Basic Armor]

[Right Arm: Basic Armor]

[Chest: 70mm Lightweight Composite Steel/Ceramic Lined Curved Armor]

[Back: Raptor-1 Booster x2]

[Left Leg: Raptor-1 Booster]

[Right Leg: Raptor-1 Booster]

[Energy Core: Hippo-1 Portable Fusion Reactor]

[Coating: Klein Blue]

[Plug-in: None]

It weighed more than a ton, so the user could no longer walk around with it while it was in a powered off state. Basically, it would consume power as long as it moved.

However, this exoframe had an adjustable energy-saving mode, which allowed the wearer to reduce the energy consumption of the exoframe by providing part of the driving force through the muscles at the expense of reducing mobility.

Chu Guang’s current strength attribute was 17, which was equivalent to 3.4 times that of a normal adult male. So it was more than enough to carry 3.4 times his weight.

Plus, the exoframe was designed with the characteristics of an unpowered exoskeleton, so actually, driving it was not as physically demanding as imagined.

Chu Guang simply treated the added weight as physical training.

Of course, for Chu Guang, the harvest of the Flower Garden Street Subway Station Operation was not only the set of exoframe, but also the 200 bonus points for completing the side mission.

And the black box that Dr. Principle left to the administrator of Shelter 117!

Stroking the black box with both hands, Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang excitedly and said, "S-class relic!"

Chu Guang was slightly stunned. "S-class relic? What do you mean?"

Yin Fang took a deep breath and continued. "I should have mentioned to you once before that, in order to facilitate the pre-war technology recovery work, the academy divides the projects waiting to be recycled in the Blueprint into F, E, D, C, B, A, and S. there are seven levels for management according to a number of factors, such as the difficulty of technological reconstruction, the number of related projects, the total amount of data, and the application value, so as to ensure that high-priority projects can obtain higher budget and personnel allocation. This grading system is not only used to grade technology, but also to grade relics and ruins of pre-war civilizations."

Looking back at the black suitcase in front of him, Yin Fang said in disbelief. "Like this. The black box of The Ark Project is undoubtedly an S-class relic."

Chu Guang frowned. "What is The Ark Project?"

"Another civilization preservation plan parallel to the shelter plan, The plan assumes that under extreme conditions, with social production completely stagnant and supply chains completely disrupted, we need a simple and convenient production tool that can produce what we need from raw materials that are available everywhere."

"This black box is the product of The Ark Project. It was designed based on the most advanced printing technology, which required only the input of the most basic materials and electricity to create a specific product. For example, the most common black box is about 30X30X20m in size. By inputting electricity and placing it in the air, it can absorb carbon dioxide and water in the air to synthesize starch. The more advanced ones can even directly synthesize carbon dioxide and water into barbecue-flavored pizzas and cakes.”

Chu Guang said in surprise, “There was even technology like that?"

"Of course, it is the crystallization of pre-war social technology, like a wishing machine that answers every request! Although its efficiency is not high, it is absolutely reliable. The only downside is that it has a single function. What it can give you does not depend on your wishes, but on what kind of functions its designers gave it."

Chu Guang looked at the black box in front of him. "What about this black box? What can I get from it?"

Yin Fang raised an eyebrow and muttered, "I don’t know. In the last two centuries, the academy has collected hundreds of boxes, and the only ones I have ever encountered are the ones that synthesize cakes and pizzas. But this box looks like it should be of the M size... It’s unlikely to be used to synthesize pizza and cake. Do you want to open it? It’s said that it usually comes with a foolproof tutorial, and even a dumbass will know how to operate it after checking the tutorial.”

Chu Guang didn’t answer and entered the password on the box.

[x1179]

He was very sensitive to numbers. Basically, he could remember a number after reading it once, and it was impossible for him to forget it.

With a soft click, the lock was opened.

Yin Fang was even more anxious than Chu Guang, and he couldn’t wait to open the box.

Standing behind Yin Fang, Chu Guang noticed that the structure of the box was very simple. There were only a few buttons that couldn’t be missed, as well as a power interface that was probably used for powering it up, and a filler opening designed like a drawer.

The instruction manual was placed in the groove next to the button.

There were some simple and easy-to-understand stick figures drawn on it. As Yin Fang said, even a fool could easily understand it.

It seemed that the designers of The Ark Project even considered the possibility that post-war survivors might become illiterate and not be very smart.

After unfolding the manual and taking a look at it, Yin Fang’s expression of interest became stronger and stronger. "Neural connection unit! It integrates two parts, a neural signal collector and a modem, including three C-class technologies and two D-class technologies... This is a great thing." He was completely amazed.

Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang and asked, "Do you know how to use it?"

With a confident smile on his face, Yin Fang put down the manual and looked at Chu Guang. He yelled in excitement, "Of course! I’m an expert in this field."

"With these things, we can make some simple exoskeletons and mechanical prostheses!"

Official website forum.

- God damn it! Do newbies have no human rights?

- This is terrible, I was just fighting monsters, but then the screen went dark all of sudden!

- Are you freaking kidding me, I thought it was a bug! But it turned out that someone sneak-attacked us!

- Yes! And we have to wait for 3 days for the respawn CD! This is bullshit!

Players complaining about the resurrection CD could be considered a daily occurrence on the forum.

There were a lot of people on the server recently, and every day there would be one or two unlucky souls who were either bitten on the neck by a dog at the hunting grounds in Elm District or were dragged into the water while fishing by the lake.

Almost all newbies who died for the first time had complained that the death penalty in Wasteland Online was too severe, but this time there were 15 of them, which was slightly more than usual.

As for the old players, and the cloud gamers who couldn’t play, they had long been accustomed to complaining posts like that.

Three days is nothing!

Those people are really too young and too simple!

In the last expansion, some players couldn’t even get back into the game the entire expansion because of the bug!

Tomato Eggs: This game is just like this, it can’t be helped. At least there are no bugs, so you guys should feel fortunate.

Irene: +1, realism is one of Wasteland Online’s selling points. It’s already good that the devs didn’t make you reincarnate. Don’t play it if you don’t like it. ( ͡

Night Ten: Sigh, you newcomers are really a bunch of whiny kids. This time is just a plot kill, so there is no deduction of money. I just don’t understand why you guys are still complaining! Do you know how much we were deducted if we died in the past? 500 contribution points! It was so severe that it even made Boss Ya, who was the first person to die in the game, cry. ( ͡

YaYa: Who the hell cried?!?!?! Don’t talk nonsense! ヾ(

Elf Wang: I can testify! She was killed by leeches. ( ͡

Yaya: (╯°

...

Bull and Horse Club.

As usual, it was only lively in the early morning, because at night, both the group owner and the group administrators were busy playing the game.

A line of message suddenly popped up in the group.

Old White: I was trying to log in to the game, but I couldn’t log in no matter what…

The group owner couldn’t log in to the game?

That was big news!

Night Ten, who was bragging with his friends, hurriedly asked: Can’t log into the game? What’s the situation?!

- The message says that... the character is in an abnormal status, and no specific time is given.

- Damn it did I do something wrong?!

It can’t be.

He was very careful with his behavior in the game. Let alone attacking NPCs, he never even offended NPCs once!

Gale: I tried it just now. I can still get into the game.

Night Ten: +1, me too.

Old White: Huh? This is weird, could it be a bug?

Mosquito: I’ll contact Brother Light for you! @Light.

Seeing that Light didn’t respond, everyone thought that Light was probably working overtime.

In everyone’s impression, Light didn’t seem to use his mobile IM very much. He would always log in to his IM on the computer, and he would only pop up in the group during the period from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning.

Not getting any response from the developer, the group members began to give terrible advice to Old White.

Some group members suggested that he soak his helmet in water to see if it would get better.

At this time, Ample Time suddenly thought of something.

Ample Time: Old White, what was your experience bar before you went offline?

Old White: My experience bar? Wait, I’ll check it out on the official website.

After waiting for a while, Old White came back.

Old White: It’s solved!

Night Ten asked immediately. What? What is solved?!

Old White: Haha, I just checked, my character is at LV10!

The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
