Chapter 1004 Wasteland Oasis, where food is everywhere!
Sun?
A familiar but unfamiliar term broke into everyone's mind.
On Blue Star, even in nuclear winter, there is still a not-so-bright sun hanging in the sky that continues to provide heat.
But in this strange world, since that night fell, this was probably the first time they saw the sun in the wasteland.
emmm
Doesn’t it seem to be not much different from the blue star’s sun?
Wait until the sun appears?
The seemingly peaceful fifth floor area suddenly became lively, and countless trembling humans hiding in the building rushed out of the open space.
They were surprised to find that the heavy fog that had been lingering for three months was receding rapidly.
It's like putting a piece of ice into a pan of oil and frying it.
Under the rays of the sun, it makes a hissing and steaming sound, and the speed is jaw-dropping.
"What's happening here?"
"I don't know if this is the first time I've seen such a weird change."
"Anyway, we don't have to stay in a smelly room and wait for the weather to clear up."
"Yes, taking this opportunity, I haven't visited the field where I planted to see my crops for several days!"
"Let's go together, let's go together, I've had enough of feeling moldy in my body!"
Standing in the open space.
The residents of Barren Bone Village cheered in surprise, and everyone talked about the upcoming schedule.
Although their narrow vision is unclear, what does the disappearance of the fog mean in this strange world.
But there is no doubt that this is a good change.
At least the field planted for the winter no longer needs to be put aside and can finally be harvested.
As for the patients on the ground, as the fog disappeared, their painful faces became less ferocious.
"This must be a gift from the administrator!"
The deputy village chief, Delang, didn't say anything aloud and muttered something silently in his heart.
Before coming back, the administrator asked him to move all the patients to the open space. It was definitely not an empty talk. The appearance of the sun now has proved his wisdom.
but
Why did the manager ask him not to tell the villagers about this?
The wild wolf was a little confused, but when he looked at the surrounding villagers who were already running into the fields, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, I went to the fields too!"
He glanced at Osmond, who was still struggling on the ground before, but now suddenly shut up and pretended to be serious.
Desolate Wolf curled his lips, stood up and said to Desolate Bear.
The latter was obviously in a good mood, as if a big stone had been lifted off his body, he waved his hands happily and said:
"Go, go, I will take care of the patients here."
"Get the food back as soon as possible. This winter, we can no longer rely on Village Chief Chen for support!"
"Master, the weather in the territory seems to have changed very strangely. This does not fit my data model."
"If you want the mist to evaporate at the current speed, the thermal radiation in the sky will increase by 36.78 times."
"But...the thermal radiation I detected is normal?"
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is an artificial intelligence with amazing omniscience and incredible computing power.
But by the owner's side.
Little Cube Zero trembled in his pocket and asked "ignorant" again.
Just now, it was surprised to detect that the fog in the air began to evaporate, receding at a speed of 0.3 kilometers per second.
It only took about fifteen seconds for the air humidity within the five-kilometer detection range to return to normal 50%.
It only took a little over a minute, and within its maximum detection range of twenty kilometers, there was no trace of the existence of fog anymore, as if it had never happened.
This change has completely exceeded the limit that artificial intelligence can understand.
"Sometimes, just because you can't detect it doesn't mean it's not happening."
"Just like this heavy fog with 100% humidity, didn't it suddenly appear overnight?"
Standing on the familiar iron stone mountaintop, looking at the unobstructed view of the green land, Somo stretched his somewhat "rusty" old waist and replied leisurely.
There is a saying, this sudden outbreak of "fog poison" disaster is indeed difficult to deal with.
There are more and more chats bringing information on the world channel. Even the top forces of the Blue Star natives are having headaches and worries about this, let alone those ordinary Free State gophers and independent groups of large and small gathering places.
Already.
In the face of 100% air humidity, all living beings are equal, and the poor aliens cannot escape.
I heard that many foreigners even went to the aboriginal cities to seek help. Apparently they were severely persecuted by the fog.
However, in front of the system
After looking at the already blazing sunlight, Sumo couldn't help but laugh.
This thing is simply too cheating.
This is the first time I've tried it since I got the territory panel to be able to modify the weather.
Um.
A lot of territory points are needed in a celestial disaster, a full five points are needed in one day.
But for him who has been saving for two months and has close to 200 points in his account.
Let alone a week, you can afford it even if it lasts for a month.
The only thing you need to worry about is whether the continuous modification of the weather will attract the attention of the game, thereby increasing the threat level.
"So. Will this happen frequently in the future?"
Number Zero asked weakly, looking a little aggrieved.
If it weren't for the internal storage database, there would be many unreasonable things from the very beginning.
If it were an ordinary artificial intelligence, I'm afraid I would already be doubting the 'machine'.
Taking out the small square in his pocket, Sumo gently rubbed the surface, and an AR projection appeared in the air.
【Zero】
[Current battery capacity: 71.75%]
[Current status: low power learning mode]
[Estimated usage time: 22 days, 18 hours and 51 minutes]
In two months, except for 30% of the electricity consumption in the industrial zone, almost the remaining surplus electricity was supplied to Zero Charging.
With sufficient power, artificial intelligence, which was originally ignorant, has recently begun to show its prowess.
"Hey, I noticed that after you have enough battery, you seem to like asking me questions lately?"
"Master, I'm not ashamed to ask, but this is the best way for artificial intelligence to evolve."
No. 0 explained glibly, and then quickly changed the topic:
"89% of the computing tasks you gave me have been executed. Do you need No. 0 to speed up the operation?"
"So fast?"
Sumo raised his eyebrows, and with a thought in his mind, he immediately opened the No. 0 operation panel.
Not surprisingly, the progress of the computing tasks that had been dormant for a long time has indeed improved by leaps and bounds.
I remember that it was only 35% a few days ago, but now it has suddenly soared to the point where it is almost completed.
"There was no mistake this time, right?"
"Nothing has been found yet."
"Output and verify the finished product as soon as possible. I have been waiting for this for a long time!"
I know in my heart that the system upgraded program will be 100% successful, but when I see the gratifying green verification progress bar.
Sumo was still a little surprised that he couldn't suppress.
In the wasteland, for ordinary people, two months may not be enough for them to plant a crop and harvest it.
But for him, there were too many things that could be changed.
Based on the current daily fixed base of one thousand survival points, plus additional achievement rewards from time to time.
From September 25th to now, a total of 100,362 survival points have been obtained in sixty-seven days.
Amortized every day, there is a gratifying income of nearly 1,500 points.
Of these, more than 80,000 points were contributed to the territory’s most core technology.
"Virtual God"
At first glance, the name of the technology sounds contrary to the way humans name new technologies, and is quite mysterious.
But a method that is immortal and can reduce the cost of errors to almost zero can already be called a "god".
Of course, the limitation of electrical signal distance loss has not yet been completely solved.
In order to achieve ultra-long-distance lossless or low-loss transmission of electrical signals carrying data in atmospheric pressure, there are too many technological breakthroughs that need to be made.
The system is not a game, so there is no chance for "bugs" to play out.
For technologies that have already been developed, if you want to upgrade items, the prices are very favorable.
But for technologies that don’t exist at all, or technologies that are too far apart, the prices are ridiculously high.
Not to mention 80,000 points, the system had previously given an upgrade route, and it actually required a full 600,000 points to meet the requirements.
Therefore, Sumo could only choose to settle for the next best thing and use trickery first.
Finally, a special signal transceiver device was upgraded, named:
‘Life Connector’
The connector can relay electrical signals within a very short distance (110m) with extremely low loss.
That is, player A generates an electrical signal one kilometer away. If he wants to send and receive it, he only needs to lay a connector every sixty meters.
About 9 to 10 can successfully transmit the electrical signal generated by the player in the virtual world.
It is easy to increase the distance and range, just keep increasing the number of connectors and the coverage area.
In addition, of the remaining 20,000 points, 15,000 points were upgraded to Zero.
The original signal transceiver module has been quadrupled from five kilometers to twenty kilometers.
Not only has the signal strength penetrating buildings increased a lot, but the delay rate has also been reduced from the initial 680ms to 190ms.
In addition, the information processing speed has also been improved to a certain extent, reaching about five times the original basis.
Use control.
When the player generates an electrical signal in the virtual realm.
The signal will first be transmitted in a straight line through the [Life Connector] and enter the sending and receiving range of No. 0.
At this time, No. 0 transmits the data wirelessly to the receiving controller in the "biological body".
After the creature reacts, Zero then receives the corresponding signal and transmits it back to the virtual realm through the connector.
Thus achieving the purpose of remote operation.
In the entire process, there are only two restrictions that limit the distance and range of play.
One is the laying range of connectors.
The second is the signal sending and receiving range of No. 0.
The cost of the former is not expensive. After the first upgrade, the price of subsequent materials for remanufacturing is 168 survival points.
The village sent someone to use a tape measure to calculate the distance from the territory to the western suburbs of Qinggang City, meter by meter.
The straight line is approximately 112.7 kilometers.
Um.
Only 1024 connectors are needed to lay all the way, and villagers can sit in the territory and control the characters to wander around Qinggang City.
At this stage, using all survival points to upgrade and manufacture, which requires 170,000 points, is still too extravagant, and making a living animal that can receive signals is also quite expensive.
Therefore, before the Territory Academy of Sciences has completely deciphered the manufacturing technology, if you want to "play the game", you can only go to the border.
There, the twenty kilometers covered by Zero will greatly reduce costs.
At the same time, this technology will only be available to the head residents of the territory, and will be gradually opened to everyone in the future.
"Master, just as you were thinking about it, the progress increased by another percent."
When Soma recovered from his absence, the No. 0 in his hand naughtily sent a reminder.
It has reached 90% progress, and no one knows what kind of changes it will cause in the wasteland after completion.
But now that he had regained consciousness, Somo looked towards the direction of the plantation.
Players who chose the farmer route have already received the news in advance and are now getting ready and heading to the plantation excitedly.
After two weeks of holding back in the house, their physical strength has returned to its prime.
Don't look at the waves of wheat rolling on the earth, and you can't see the boundary at a glance.
But under the passion of this group of people, Sumo was completely convinced.
It won't be long before the dozen or so large warehouses built behind Hope Village will all be filled with grain.
And the entire Tianyuan territory will also officially enter the wealthy.
2.0 era!
The fog disappeared.
If someone could look down from the heights of the wasteland, or observe through satellite cloud images.
You will definitely find that in the white mist of the New World, there is an area the size of a fingernail exposed that is extremely eye-catching.
The sun has regained 90% of its power, sending out warm sunlight streaming down from the exposed areas.
The light pillar formed by the Tyndall effect is like holy light, bringing a different feeling to this dark world.
From December 1st to December 5th.
The happy and sunny days have lasted for four full days.
Early morning, seven fifty.
[It has been detected that the host has changed the territory's weather four times in a row. The risk value of this change will continue to increase by 11.67%]
[Current information shielding level: Level 4 (10,000 points), current threat level: 19.12%]
[It is expected that after this change of territorial weather, the threat level will increase by 9.65% to 28.77%]
Sure enough, the game is not vegetarian.
Changing the weather control point is really not expensive, it only costs five cheap points at a time.
But the information threat level is increasing faster and faster, from 2% on the first day to nearly 10% now.
You know, this is a shielding level of 100,000 points!
Calculated in terms of survival points, the cost of changing the weather this time is almost 10,000 points.
And once the 100,000 shield points are used up, the next time you want to improve, you can only accumulate one million points.
Ahem.
The points awarded by the system have not expanded to this level.
Looking at the latest prompt that popped up on the system territory interface, Sumo shook his head and finally gave up the idea of continuing to pay.
"Fortunately, we have almost harvested the food in the past four days. It doesn't hurt even if the rest rots."
When you walk out of the underground city gate, the morning breeze blowing in your face carries a sweet smell of wheat.
After working in shifts for four consecutive days, 90% of the crops in the plantation have been harvested.
Through drying and threshing, the granary in Hope Village has been filled with bags of precious grains.
Even the fourth and fifth floors of Tianyuan Underground City, which are currently unoccupied, have been transformed into temporary food storage areas, and they are almost full!
However, in the sky that had not closed yet, the morning sun cast a ray of morning light.
There are still several acres of wheat and rice spread out to dry in the square at the entrance of the village, as if covered with a layer of golden armor.
Like an "oasis" in the wasteland.
No one could have imagined that a few months ago, the territories and villages were frugal in food and clothing.
By now, the ground has been luxuriously filled with food, to the point where it can no longer be returned to the warehouse!
