Chapter 910 The alliance is not a wishing machine

Chu Guang stayed in Weifu City for three full days.

Except for listening to Li Jinrong's work report on the first day, in the remaining two days he basically followed the "strategies" posted by players on the forum and wandered around the settlement.

Unlike the cookie-cutter Singularity City, every district and even every street in this settlement is full of stories.

For example, Kunzhen.

This was built on the whims of players, and has now become the most prosperous neighborhood in Weifu City.

Especially as the young men of the 100th Mountain Division of the Enterprise brought the Kunpai created by Brother Mosquito back to Ideal City, this street became even more crowded with "players" from Ideal City.

No one expected that things would develop to this point, including Mr. Mosquito himself.

Although his original intention was just to make a fortune while making a living, he did not expect that the complex game rules and story-filled cards would unexpectedly become popular throughout Ideal City - attracting at least some otakus.

Analyzing the underlying reasons, this may be inseparably related to the vast and barren digital desert of Ideal City.

The excessive speed of information exchange makes every fragmented information lose its original meaning, becoming as rich and empty as a colorful kaleidoscope.

It is precisely because of this that when they are separated from the information services provided by the endpoint cloud and the speed of information exchange is slowed down, they feel the fun of returning to nature.

In short, Kunzhen in Weifu City, like Singularity City next door, has become the spiritual home of another wave of ideal city residents.

The town is filled with many backpackers who have flown in from the east coast for "pilgrimage".

And because of the arrival of these guys, this small town located in the wasteland unexpectedly showed signs of a "post-modern Renaissance", and many literary and artistic works full of fantastic ideas emerged.

For example, derivative works about Kunpai cards, such as some independent works that incorporate players’ strange imaginations.

The residents of Ideal City bring not only ideas on the endpoint cloud, but also related technologies.

For example, holographic projection technology that can look real and fake, virtual reality technology that can completely immerse yourself in dreams, etc.

Although these art forms are a bit too advanced for the wastelanders, they are unexpectedly connected to the brainwaves of players from another world.

not only that.

Chu Guang heard that professional players who were active in the local area also teamed up with engineers from Ideal City to develop a unique system called "Super Dream".

This system can interface with retinal nerves, store the collected visual signals in the chip, and reproduce them through special reading equipment.

This system has greatly reduced the development costs of immersive virtual reality system imaging works and games, and enhanced the realistic effect of the picture. Its significance is no less than that of people in the old days who installed cameras on their mobile phones.

Originally, the production of virtual reality games and film and television works was the preserve of professional directors, but now individuals can become directors. As long as they install a set of prosthetic equipment and insert a chip, they can create their own works.

Influenced by this invention, "Wasteland OL" has further strengthened the "death replay" and "real-time screen recording" functions.

Before this, these two functions were mainly accomplished through the head-mounted camera on the action recorder, and the operation was far less convenient than this "Super Dream" system.

As for relevant laws and regulations, the representatives will naturally discuss them based on actual needs.

Prior to this, the players who developed this device also made some restrictions based on the terms in the "Player's Handbook", such as restrictions on the circulation of restricted-level images, as well as classification review standards, etc.

In addition to progress in the fields of literature, art and science and technology, the survivors of Weifu City have also made considerable progress in the economic and industrial fields.

Neat and tidy buildings are rising from the ground like bamboo shoots soaked in the spring rain, extending along the straight streets, but just two years ago this place was a deserted and barren land.

According to Li Jinrong's report, 170,000 wastelanders have settled here.

Among them are pioneers from Boulder City and Dawn City, wastelanders wandering in Jinchuan Province and Prancing Pony Province, and even Weirant people from distant Yunjian Province and even the west coast, as well as wandering

Settlers of the swamp.

Especially the residents of the swamps, they brought with them the resource exploration and mining technology inherited from the Science and Technology Committee, as well as the waste recycling technology learned from the scavenger groups in the northern part of the River Valley Province.

Relying on these technologies, they obtained loans from the alliance's banks, opened resource extraction companies, and drew nutrients from the ruins of pre-war cities that had been buried for two centuries, and transformed them into industrial blood through railways.

Transported to various industrial areas in the alliance.

In addition to utilizing resources, local survivors also made use of the wind resources on Shifeng Mountain according to local conditions and built roller-shaped windmills on the towering mountain.

It is worth mentioning that this is the work of Beidao Heavy Industries of the South China Sea Alliance. The survivors there are best at utilizing sustainable renewable energy and have developed this ability to the extreme in more than a century.

Although the electricity converted from wind energy is not as large and cheap as the electricity provided by the controllable fusion reactor, it is completely sufficient for Weifu City, which has a population of only 170,000.

They can even export excess electricity to Singularity City in exchange for agricultural products and light industrial consumer goods produced in Singularity City.

This is a more economical approach than hauling a wire from Dawn City.

Although controllable fusion is efficient, it uses less helium-3 resources. Before the resumption of Earth-moon flights, the Alliance's energy is not rich enough to squander it at will.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the farmland that continues to extend along the Wei River, and the extended areas that expand to the surrounding areas along roads and railways.

Many people from the expeditionary force from Borneo chose to stay here, and their extraordinary enthusiasm for the land also accelerated the expansion of Weifu City to a certain extent.

In comparison, those pioneers from Boulder City preferred to live in crowded cities.

Except for those guys with mercenary backgrounds.

All in all, the local people have found a development method that suits them, taking into account both internal and external development, and combining the advantages of the people of all ethnic groups.

In Chu Guang's opinion, this is the most valuable part.

If time permits, he plans to stay here for a while and read the things that interest him before leaving.

However, there are still ten settlements waiting for him to visit, and those places that he has no time to visit can only be left to the players to pay careful attention to for him.

Railway station in Weifu City.

Chu Guang said goodbye to Li Jinrong and his group and sat in the waiting room next to the platform.

Looking at the busy crowd outside the window and the prosperous settlement behind them, Chu Guang had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Weifucheng will be a good example."

Lu Bei said doubtfully.

"demonstration?"

"That's right."

Chu Guang nodded with a smile and continued in a relaxed tone.

"I told you a long time ago that savages will not be simply wiped out by force. They will be like weeds after the spring breeze blows. They will grow one after another after the fire. However, they are different from backward production.

The methods are the same and will eventually be replaced by more advanced production methods, and it is in this process that our civilization was born."

"What is worthy of pride is that we have given birth to the fire of civilization, and the difficulty is just how to let it spread to farther places spontaneously."

"Weifu City has set a good example in this matter. Wastelanders from all directions came here, witnessed our order and prosperity and were attracted by it, and then brought it to all directions... And our ideals have also

In the process, they will continue to extend along the roads and railways they have traveled, injecting new blood into this barren land and awakening the civilization sleeping under the soil."

Lu Bei scratched the back of his head.

Chu Guang knew that he didn't understand, but he didn't care. He just smiled kindly and ended the topic.

"The next stop is Settlement No. 1... By the way, we will pass by the Eastern Legion's camp, right?"

Finally, the conversation reached an area where he could intervene, and Lu Bei immediately spoke seriously.

"I'm ready for safety work."

Seeing the young man's serious look, Chu Guang said with a smile.

"I'm not worried about safety, I'm just wondering if I have a chance to go there."

He had always heard players say on the forum's official website that the big nose there had been "corroded" into the shape of an alliance. He had always been curious about what the so-called alliance's shape looked like.

Lu Bei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said hesitantly.

"Are you talking about the area controlled by the 370,000th Army? But... that's not our territory after all."

"Hmm... That's right," Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it would be better to have Cheng Yan send a formal diplomatic document to Captain Bennott."

Just as the two were communicating, the station's announcement suddenly rang.

"Dear passengers, we are sorry that due to an emergency on the Haiya Province railway section, the D97 train had to brake urgently due to an accident near the old site of Haibei City. The railway line is currently suspended and is bound for Settlement No. 1.

The flights will be temporarily frozen and the resumption time is to be determined..."

"The staff at the outpost near the area where the accident occurred has gone to the area to investigate. Please wait patiently. We will notify you as soon as possible after troubleshooting..."

At the same time as the broadcast, passengers on the station platform were in an uproar.

Especially those passengers who were preparing to go to Settlement No. 1, the expressions on their faces were first stunned, and then replaced by anger.

People rushed to the duty booth one after another, blocking the originally small window, huddled together and started making noises.

"What are you doing?"

"What happened? Let me calm down for a moment...then tell me when I can resume my shift!"

"Damn it! I have booked a passenger ship flight to the North Island in the evening, and now you tell me that the train can't run and the recovery time is to be determined?! Who will compensate for my losses!"

“Refund!!!”

Faced with the problems that came one after another, the staff at the duty booth were also very anxious.

Obviously, the little girl sitting in front of the window didn't know what was going on in front, and she even received the notice no earlier than the passengers here.

In fact, let alone her, Lu Bei stood in the waiting room with a confused look on his face, until a soldier from the Guards trotted into the waiting room, performed a military salute and stopped beside him and Chu Guang nervously.
