Chapter 733 Disaster announcement, chaos is coming!
The darkness of night in the dark fields is constantly driven away by the spreading lights.
These spotlights absorb enough thermal radiation energy during the day and consume very little. As long as it is not cloudy, they can basically maintain a balance between positive and negative expenditures.
Bathed in such light, tens of thousands of workers were not afraid and immersed themselves in working in the fields.
Completely different from wheat in the conventional sense, the reason why Xinghuo No. 3 wheat is so popularized in the territory is that it is planted in an extremely wide area.
Not only because of its extremely terrifying yield, which can produce about two thousand kilograms per mu, but also because of its taste.
unique!
In the civilized era, any variety with increased output will face a huge problem, that is, the taste will plummet.
The greater the yield, the more limited the nutrients absorbed by the plants per unit area are, and the worse the taste.
But this magical Xinghuo No. 3 is different. The flour ground with it will be 30% more fragrant than ordinary wheat flour no matter what kind of pasta is made.
And the higher the yield of this variety, the better the taste.
For example, the price at the Earth King's auction in previous years was hundreds or thousands of times the price of ordinary wheat!
Of course, these are the advantages of Xinghuo 3. If we want to talk about its shortcomings, it can only be that it is too difficult to harvest.
For this variety, whether it is cut with a harvester or harvested manually with a sickle, as long as the wheat ears leave the main pole, there will be a direct "explosion" effect, causing many wheat grains to be scattered directly in the field.
And this corresponds to the word "spark" in its name.
When gathered it is a ball of fire, when scattered it is a sky full of stars.
Countless wheat grains rolled down the wheat field. If the harvester rolled back and forth one more time, the wheat grains would be crushed directly.
Even as a developer, Sumo didn't think of how to better replace manpower to complete the task of collecting the burst wheat grains on the ears of wheat. He could only use manpower to push them up first and study them later.
However, we only need to collect the wheat grains on the ground. Compared with previous years when we had to both cut and harvest, and we had to worry about stepping on the wheat, I don’t know how much easier it was.
It can be seen from the happy expressions on the faces of these people in the field that they are extremely satisfied with the balance between work and income tonight!
"If only I could do such an easy job every day, I could scrape together the materials to build a strong underground shelter in a year."
"Nowadays, you still have to cultivate it yourself? Don't you want to think about how to buy a better identity?"
"Identity? That thing is too far away. The most basic identity in Tianyuan territory requires 3,000 points. I have to live without food or drink for decades before I can afford it. Is that possible?"
"You can work in official plantations. Doesn't it mean that it only takes five years to obtain status?"
"Official? If they had this harvester, maybe I would actually be willing to work on it!"
"."
While picking up wheat grains on the ground, they chatted.
In order to avoid being too lonely when working at night, many workers have a simple pager around their waist, which allows them to speak freely on a fixed frequency.
Everyone said something to each other. Although the work was hard, it didn't feel lonely at all.
Compared with the panic during the disaster, I don’t know how much better it is.
"The clock is turning soon. I'm going to have a late-night snack nearby. Are any of my brothers going with me?"
"I'll go. Wait for me over there at the edge of the field. It's been such an easy day at work, so I have to reward myself."
"Hey, is this a reward? I know there is a restaurant that makes a batch of fried skewers. I will go there later."
"It's so classic. You really spend it wherever you make money. This way you can save a lot in a year!"
"."
It was approaching twelve o'clock, and many workers who had eaten in the afternoon felt hungry and started making noises on their pagers in advance.
Especially when they smell the aromas wafting over from the night market, many people find it even more difficult to control their desire to consume and want to go there and have a big meal right away.
It is true that they also know the importance of saving money.
But if you can come to work in a private Liangfang, how many people will take care of it in the next five or ten years? Without statistics, you can know that at least 80% of the people in the company have the idea of having a drink today and getting drunk tomorrow.
The current efforts are just to live a better life now.
This, and those who are only willing to work in official plantations, form two extremes with obvious differences.
Of course, in the eyes of the territory, the uncertainty of such people will increase several times accordingly.
Like now, as it gets closer to twelve o'clock, the guards standing by the fields become more nervous. Some of them have even put their hands on safe positions, just waiting for the riot to break out and suppressing it immediately.
"Twelve o'clock is three minutes away. Let's go. Come back after eating and continue."
Someone said something on the pager, and with a bang, dozens of people put down their shovels at the same time.
And the next second, like a tide, more and more workers began to take a break.
Some people choose to go to the night market, while others take out the dry food in their pockets and eat it with water.
Before the clock was turned, the originally peaceful place suddenly became noisy.
only
"Everyone, sit still and observe martial law for ten minutes."
At 11:58, before the first person to put down his shovel stepped out of the field, a strong male voice began to sound uniformly from the speakers in all directions.
After listening clearly to what the voice said, many people panicked, thinking that yesterday's attack was about to happen again.
However, due to the clearly prohibited movement standards, everyone had no way to escape. They could only sit uneasily on the dirt and wait for the so-called ten minutes to end under the surveillance of loaded guns and live ammunition.
At 11:59, the order was conveyed. Under the surveillance of high-altitude drones, all migrant workers stopped moving. Only the harvesters in front were still faithfully performing their work, leaving behind pieces of finished crops.
Cornfield.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
There were only ten seconds left before the clock turned, and the loud bells in the town rang, indicating that the next day was coming.
But now, after hearing this strange bell, many people who knew the inside story finally changed their expressions wildly!
In the Tianyuan territory, there is a thick wall clock called the "Disaster Clock" in the center of every town.
This bell rarely rings, and will only ring during the three-day notice period before the disaster, one hour before the disaster begins, and one hour before the disaster ends.
In the past four years, this disaster bell has never sounded once every summer and autumn harvest, so that 80% of these migrant workers do not even know that this thing exists.
Only those social bulls who like to brag and communicate with locals understand the function and significance of this thing.
"Disaster is coming!"
In the last few seconds, many people wanted to pick up their pagers and communicate.
But when they picked it up, they discovered that the frequency of the call had been blocked by the escort's jammer, leaving only disorderly noise ringing in their ears.
Obviously, the Tianyuan Territory had already received the disaster information and had even made preventive preparations in advance, but they just did not tell these outsiders.
"Damn it!"
Without the only means of communication, everyone is like falling back to the isolated island in the early days of the wasteland, with uncontrollable fear in their hearts.
But no matter how they resisted, with the final thunk sound, the familiar game panel finally slowly popped up!
[Record]: Wasteland time: June 17, eight years

[Record]: I wish all players a happy game!
Wow!
The sudden pop-up of disaster notice boards and the influx of disaster information are no longer unfamiliar to all humans who have lived in the wasteland for eight years.
Frequent disasters have occurred a full 198 times in eight years, each time representing a large amount of death and suffering.
With real-time monitoring by the escort team, many people were eager to shout and angrily denounce why the territory had concealed information until now, and why it didn't notify them half a month ago.
But when the intensive gunfire rang out, they could only sit down numbly and lower their "cheap" heads.
Yes, they are humble outsiders with no identity.
Tianyuan Territory does not have the obligation to inform disaster information in advance, nor does it have the obligation to help them cope with the disaster.
After all, this is not a welfare home for humans, nor is it the last refuge.
Like thousands of ordinary territories, it is ruthless and powerful.
There is no room for bargaining.
"Disaster, oh, another independent disaster, and this high-sounding excuse for murder."
"In three days, besides Zizailiangfang, who else can finish harvesting the wheat!"
"The price of food this year may be high"
Sitting in the ground of Zizailiangfang, Ge Jian'an, a tall man with a dark complexion, numbly looked at the information that popped up on the game panel and murmured in his mouth.
His home is in the Dragon Phoenix territory.
A territory four hundred kilometers east of Tianyuan Territory, with a name that sounds domineering, but in reality is a territory that is only three times the size of Sangtian Town.
There, he had a small yard, five acres of thin farmland, a wife, and children.
The pressure of survival from the family, if there is no disaster, then this field can support a family of four without lack of food and clothing.
However, due to frequent disasters, he had no choice but to leave his hometown and come to Tianyuan territory to work every summer and autumn harvest in an attempt to earn some points and buy supplies to fill the empty reserves at home.
In the past years, every time he was successful, he was able to successfully earn a suitable remuneration, buy enough disaster relief materials, and bring them back to the Dragon Phoenix territory until the next harvest season arrives.
But if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
This time, he was not surprised by the sudden independence disaster. He was just a little worried about whether his wife and children at home would be in danger.
"Fortunately, the temporary shelter I built under the house is very strong. Even if ordinary hail breaks through the thick wooden boards of the house, it will never be able to do anything to the layers of steel plates I erected in the temporary shelter."
He was the first to pull it down. After reading the code name of this disaster, Ge Jianan was slightly relieved.
But then, when he saw the information next to the disaster code, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, quickly pulled it back to the first one and started to read it carefully.
Disaster notification information has appeared in the wasteland too many times, some are long and some are short, some are detailed and some are brief.
At most times, such as when a version is updated, there are usually two to three pages and thousands of words in length to notify.
At least sometimes, such as during a series of disasters, there may be only two or three sentences, and no other detailed descriptions.
This time, there are not many descriptive sentences, only a few hundred words.
But what does this mean?
"Oh my God, this time the game went crazy and rewarded so many out-of-print items in a small indie disaster."
"Damn, cards, props, equipment, territory buildings, territory gains, Bodhisattva on top, what are these things!"
Glancing at the list of newly added rewards, Ge Jianan would have stood up in shock and shouted if the guards hadn't still been standing nearby.
During the eight years of playing in the wasteland, cards only frequently appeared in the early part of the wasteland in the first half of the first year, and in the reconstruction of civilization in the second half of the fourth year.
At other times, this thing is very rare, and it is a rare item that only needs one piece.
Taking the current market price as an example, even the lowest level one card can easily be sold for hundreds of thousands of points.
In the Tianyuan territory, there are also explicit regulations.
As long as anyone brings a card about "resource recovery", he will immediately receive a reward of one million trading points, ten permanent identity permissions, and can enjoy the protection of a 30-person guard team alone, as well as own a
Villas in Hope City and other luxury rewards.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can get one, it will definitely change your life.
As for the rest, it was even more astonishing. For example, Ge Jianan had never seen or experienced the special benefits of the territory.
But looking at the literal meaning, he could also imagine how terrifying the value of this thing would be.
"It's incredible, what is the origin of this hail disaster, and why are you given so many rewards?"
After looking at the rewards for a few more times, Ge Jianan eagerly turned off the notifications and clicked on the disaster panel to start checking.
After a delay of two or three seconds, a new panel appeared in his field of vision.
【Disaster Code】: Hail Doomsday
[Disaster Difficulty]: Blue
【Disaster time】:72 hours
[Disaster description]: When a disaster strikes, the wasteland will produce large-area covering hail, which will fall at hourly intervals. Every 24 hours, the frequency and volume of hail will continue to increase in proportion to the distribution. Until the end of 24 hours, the hail will
Return to its original form and continue to accumulate changes.
【Disaster Details】:
Initial hail frequency: 5,000 hailstones/square kilometer/minute (increase by 10% each time, that is, 5,500 hailstones for the second time, 6,000 hailstones for the third time, 6,500 hailstones for the third time, and 11,000 hailstones for the twelfth time)
Initial hail volume: diameter 3.0cm (increase by 25% each time, that is, the second time is 3.25cm, the third time is 3.5cm, the third time is 3.75cm, until the twelfth time is 6cm)
[Ranked Mode]: Confrontation: During the hailstorm, players will use the ground as a horizontal line. When they are above it, their scores will automatically start to be counted. According to the number of waves resisting the hail and the performance of the resistance, the higher the accumulated points, the higher the reward will be.
(Note: When the player is in a building that was not built by himself, points will not be counted)
"confrontation?"
"What kind of monster ranking is this? Who would stand outside when it hails and wait to be hit?"
"How about leaving it here to survive the tribulation?"
Looking at the weird ranking mode, Ge Jianan complained repeatedly.
Whenever a game provides a ranked mode during a disaster, everyone will be weird and die.
For example, during an earthquake, the longer who can stay on the ground without falling, the more points he will get.
Another example is that during a hurricane, whoever runs in the opposite direction will come out on top.
Each time, these ranking patterns are different, but one thing is for sure.
These methods are extremely anti-human!
"But fortunately, with this size of hailstorm, as long as you hide underground without thinking about rewards, there should be no safety issues."
After calculating in his mind for a while, Ge Jianan felt relieved.
Although after this hailstorm, his self-built house will definitely not be saved, and the vegetables in the field will probably be smashed to pieces.
But hiding in a temporary shelter, as long as there is no danger to people, nothing will happen if the things are gone!
"By the way, the ranking list that has been closed for more than a year seems to have been opened."
"I don't know whether Xuanwu Judge Yu Tiena is first this time, or Northland Cold King Herbert is better. Oh, and there is also the Sun God Louis Relf. These three people have been competing for many years!"
After spitting out two nicknames that were slightly middle-of-the-road, Ge Jianan chuckled and clicked on the panel repeatedly to jump to the ranking page.
Eight years have passed, and the names on this ranking have become more and more frequent and have basically become fixed.
Those at the forefront, if you look at it, are almost all representatives of super territories. It is rare to see small and medium-sized territories anymore, let alone lone wolves.
For example, Yu Tie is the well-deserved number one in combat power in the Dragon Banner Territory, and Herbert is the special trainer of the Frozen North. The remaining Louis Relf, named Sun God, is the golden giant eagle.
's leader.
These three people can always do something beyond ordinary people's understanding in disasters, and they are always far ahead of others in the standings, constantly competing for the first place.
However, in the past two years, Herbert from the Northland has temporarily taken the lead due to his geographical advantage, and the other two can only follow closely to avoid being left behind.
"Hey, how come Yu Tie is number one? I remember that he was still more than two thousand points behind Herbert last time, right?"
At first glance at the standings, Ge Jianan was a little surprised when he saw that the territorial symbol at the back was the Chinese Queen.
This standings is the most discussed thing after dinner, and many people will even get into fights over the rankings.
When he was bragging last time, he kept in mind what one person loudly said about the characteristics of the three people, as well as the specific points difference.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tie surpassed him without saying a word!
"Not bad, not bad!"
With words of praise, Ge Jian'an habitually looked down, wanting to see how many places Huaxia could occupy in the top thirty of the rankings this time.
But looking down, he was confused.
In the third position, he actually saw another Chinese symbol, which meant that another Chinese person had reached the top three.
"What the hell, isn't Zhao Changxiao sixth in the clear sky in Zixiao's territory? Why is he third?"
Moving the panel forward, Ge Jian'an muttered and looked at the third name.
But this time, he was even more confused.
The name of this third person is none other than Xuanwu Judge Yu Tie.
"No, the first one is not"
Ge Jianan raised his eyes and looked up.
In the first second, when he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar name, his mind was still a little confused, so he only sifted through the names of people that were often mentioned.
The next second, no match was found, so he whispered the two-letter name and thought about it in his mind.
The third second.
boom!
Ge Jianan's brain was completely fried!
Give away a thousand words, the tips and disaster information released by the game are all free. Thank you all for your long-term genuine support. I love you~~~
