Chapter 16 How to play the sandbox game

2days ago traverse Novels 5
In Linghu Wetland Park, outside the abandoned sanatorium, wooden stakes of varying thicknesses and sizes stand.

I heard that if the wood that has just been cut is not processed, it will crack and deform.Looking at the logs piled up randomly on the wall and holding an axe, Lao Bai frowned.

Fang Chang asked.

How to deal with it generally?

Lao Bai said.

The moisture in the roasted wood, or the wood such as painted at both ends is naturally air-dried.You can also throw it into water and soak it, but it will be more difficult to deal with when you pick it up... I hope it won't rain these days.

Lao Bai roughly estimated that, including yesterday's labor results, cut all the wood into 3 to 4 meters long logs, sharpened the two ends and tugged into the soil, and built the walls on the north and west sides of the sanatorium more than enough.

However, these woods are untreated logs, and their strength is difficult to guarantee. They may rot after a few rains.

So he discussed with Fang Chang and decided to change his mind and use cement as building materials.

There is a large amount of concrete waste on the wasteland, and there are even a lot in the nursing home.

After time weathering, thermal expansion and contraction, wind and rain, most of these concrete blocks peeled from the steel bars have become fragments.

It is not to be expected to count on how reliable these materials are.

But there is no problem to build simple concrete fortifications by mixing these materials and cement and fixing them with some steel strips removed from the ruins.

Although it is a tofu project, it is much better than wood.

I don't plan to build a skyscraper anyway.

However, if you want to use this concrete waste, you must first have cement.

To refine cement, they first need enough coal and a furnace that can withstand high temperatures of 1450 degrees.

It happened that at this time, Qianfeng and Yeshi came back.

Fang Chang noticed that the plastic bucket in Qianfeng was carrying was filled with a bucket of even-textured mud.

There is a river on the east side of Linghu Lake, which does not exist on the map. It should have been formed in the past two hundred years.We have explored the entire lake shoreline from the east to the south, and the areas of the heterogeneous active species and the locations of suspected nests are marked on the map.

As he said that, the strong wind asked Ye Shi to take out the map, and some marks were drawn on the map with charcoal.

With this map, it will be much safer for them to get water by the lake.

But Fang Chang's attention was in the bucket in his hand.

In this bucket is...

I found it by the river and put the bucket on the ground. The wind continued, and suddenly I thought that I could use this thing as building materials and brought it back.

This thing cannot be used as a building material, and it will disappear as soon as the water flushes. Squatting on the ground, Lao Bai reached out to pick up some mud, rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, and suddenly an excited expression appeared on his face. However, this thing is a good thing, and our kiln has a place.

Kiln?Ye Shi was stunned.

Lao Bai and I discussed it and planned to refine cement.Fang Chang said.

The wind looked at him in surprise.

Is this... OK?

What's wrong?Isn't this a sandbox game? Lao Bai stood up and said excitedly, "Just pour the mud here. You can get a few more buckets back. Fang Chang helps me pick up some branches and move quickly."

OK.Fang Chang went there with great enthusiasm.

Qianfeng and Ye Shi looked at each other and left in a daze.

……

The river is not deep, but there is a lot of silt next to it, and it is not far from the sanatorium. It takes less effort to get a bunch of them back.

Lao Bai surrounded the mud in a circle, dug two holes next to it as air inlets, and then placed the charcoal and dead leaves left by burning fire and cooking in the mud circle, and lit it with the matches left by the manager.

The fire rose quickly.

The surrounding mud is slowly dried.

Lao Bai digs the new mud with his hands, and builds it on the wall of the furnace while baking. It is not until the stove is high enough to his thigh that he starts to stuff the wooden stick as thick as his thumb into it.

What is this for?Fang Chang looked curious. Although he had played survival games, he had never done such meticulous work in the game.

Burn charcoal!Without coal, we can only use carbon instead.If you want to refine cement, burn wood is not possible. We have to start with the most basic ones.

Why do you still understand this?

I played in my hometown when I was a child.

……

It's okay to play it.

Who is fine to play this?

Standing up, Lao Bai clapped his hands and began to cap the stove before the fire in the stove could ignite the fire.

This step is very critical.

Before the firewood is lit, he needs to leave a hole on the top, wait until the temperature in the stove is high enough, and then seal all the holes with mud to let the wood inside be stuffed for a day, and then you can harvest a full stove of charcoal tomorrow.

If you fill all the holes, the fire inside will be extinguished.

It will not be destroyed immediately, and this is the effect you want.

Lao Bai wiped his sweat and patted his long shoulder.

Don’t be idle either. Let’s build a few more kilns and get the cement boiler tomorrow.

good……

Not only Fang Chang joined Lao Bai's construction team, but even Qianfeng and Ye Shi were recruited after moving enough mud.

The four players worked together to build four charcoal-refined earth kilns, and built a slightly larger one with aluminosilicate-containing clay dug by the river.

In Lao Bai's words, they can try to refine some cement tomorrow.

What he planned to refine was wood ash cement.

The cement refined by this earth method has no technological content and is not very reliable, but it is definitely better than wood.

And with wood ash cement, he can try to build a cement kiln that withstands higher temperatures.

Lao Bai has made up his mind and goes online to check the information when he goes offline.

Damn... I understand now why the manager asked us to find a way to build a bathhouse.Smelling the smell of sweat, Ye Shi, who was already a little obsessed with cleanliness, felt that he was almost stinking to death.

This game is so hardcore.

Why don’t we go to the lake to take a shower before going offline?Lao Bai suggested.

I agree...but what about managers?It's time to go offline soon, why haven't he come back yet?Qianfeng asked.

Maybe something is wrong.

So how should we let him know the fruits of our labor this afternoon?Ye Shi asked hurriedly.

Fang Chang glanced at the sanatorium behind him.

There is no need to worry about this. I have already told the robot named Xiaoqi. It said that our results have been counted and will report the situation to the manager truthfully.

After hearing this, Ye Shi finally felt relieved.

……

Just as the players were offline, taking off their helmets and getting up, and preparing to start a new day, Chu Guang, who was still on Bet Street, was carefully removing the plastic bucket under the water purifier.

There are public wells on Bet Street, and each household has its own water collector, and Chu Guang is no exception.

In addition to the luminous rain wrapped in radiated dust, or the clouds obviously seem abnormal, the rain level on the wasteland is still safe, even safer than before the war.

After all, this is two hundred years after the decline of civilization. Specialties such as acid rain, haze, etc., are difficult to see here.

Of course, even so, it is not wise to drink rainwater directly.

By cutting the plastic water bottle from the middle, Chu Guang put a layer of dried pine needles and tess on the bottom of the bottle mouth, and then added crushed charcoal ash on it.

In this way, a simple water filter is completed.

Chu Guang doesn’t know whether graphite can absorb radiation, but in the remote suburbs far away from nuclear bomb craters, radiation is not the main threat to survival, diarrhea and dehydration are the ones.

He still remembered that the month he just lived here, he pulled water almost once the next day, and did not die on the hands of a different species, but almost died on his stomach.

Less than 10L... A drop in the bucket.

Looking at the bottles and jars in the room, Chu Guang sighed.

After saving up supplies for a few days, the player has just been here for a few days and has almost used them.

You have to think of some solutions.

At this time, a knock on the door came from the door.

Chu Guang got up and walked up, pulled out the pin, and opened the door.

I saw Xiaoyu standing at the door, with his hands behind his back, staring at him with big black eyes without turning around, without saying a word.

Chu Guang, who was about to say hello, suddenly remembered the second son of the Yu family, and the marriage he had told him before, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Let’s take a step back.

If there is no refuge No. 404, no system, no players, and he is isolated and helpless, he can only try to integrate into the society here... He can't do that!

Too thin.

At least I will support it for another two years.

Is there anything wrong?Chu Guangxin said calmly.

Yu Xiaoyu stretched out his arm hidden behind him.

It was then that Chu Guang saw that she was holding a small piece of black cake in her hand. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been made of green wheat.

My second brother asked me to give it to you, and he told me to say I did it for you.Words are pronounced one word at a time.

The subject-predicate relationship between you, you, me, and me surrounded Chu Guang for a long time and then sorted it out for a while. It was Yu Hu who asked her to give this cake to herself.

Thanks?

Need not.

After stuffing the cake into Chu Guang's hand, the little fish turned around and ran away, leaving Chu Guang alone in the wind.

……

In the world.

Jinling.

After taking off his helmet, Yanfeng rubbed his nose bridge, reached out to grop on the bedside table, and found his glasses to put on.

After sitting beside the bed and brewing for a while, he got up and went to the bathroom, washed up and put on his coat, went downstairs and stepped onto the bicycle, and slowly swayed to the cafeteria.

It's now half past five.

Except for students who take the postgraduate entrance examination, few people will come to the cafeteria at this point. The entire hall is empty, with only a few windows near the door open.

The canteen aunt who was busy behind the window recognized the regular customer at a glance and said with a smile.

Professor Yan, this is so early today.

Well, I slept quite early yesterday... I got two buns.

The buns have just been steamed, you have to wait a while.

Don't worry.

Yanfeng took out the meal card and swiped it on the card reader.

The mist wafted out of the steamer was very fragrant.

Yanfeng likes this smell very much, which makes people feel very comfortable, but unfortunately, it is not friendly to him wearing glasses.

Taking off his glasses and rubbing the fog on it, Yanfeng couldn't help but think of his role in Wasteland OL.

Although the initial power of self in the virtual world is slightly inferior, it is much stronger than that of self in reality.

And the most important thing is that the person in the virtual world is not myopia.

At this time, someone patted his shoulder.

Yanfeng put his eyes on and turned around and saw that it was Professor Wang Haiyang.

Have classes in the morning?

I had no class and I got up when I couldn't sleep.

I thought you would be very late for physics.

That was an illusion. I rarely brought my work home. I pushed my glasses and Yanfeng suddenly thought of something and looked at him and said, "By the way, I want to consult you in something."

Professor Wang Haiyang raised his eyebrows.

Is it the topic yesterday?

Yanfeng nodded.

Um.

Wait a minute, let me ask first, the novel you mentioned must have been written by you, Professor Wang Haiyang smiled and said, "It's good that novels are just like something wrong, but they really have to be exactly the same as in reality, but they are not good-looking."

Actually, it’s not a novel, to be honest, it’s…a game.

game?

Well, after taking the bun from the canteen aunt, Yanfeng peeled off the plastic bag and took a bite. A game of the end of the world.

Professor Wang Haiyang became interested and asked.

What about specific?

I don’t know much about the specifics. I don’t know much about the game at the moment in the closed beta.Yanfeng paused for a while. You said that in such a developed society, it was possible to make cars not even powered by power.

No power supply?Professor Wang Haiyang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Do you want to use remote power supply technology instead of fixed power supply?"

Is it very difficult?Yanfeng asked.

I don’t know whether it is difficult or not. From my professional perspective alone... wireless power supply technology is not difficult. What is difficult is how we obtain clean and cheap energy, so that even if the energy loss reaches 90% or even more, the cost is still within an acceptable range.

Speaking of this, Professor Wang Haiyang paused and continued in a joking tone.

Apart from the controlled nuclear fusion depicted in science fiction, I can't think of a better solution.

Nuclear fusion?

Yanfeng looked thoughtful.

So Ah...

It seems that the story background in the setting of "Wasteland OL" is even more grand than he imagined.

There should be a lot of things to dig deeper here.

When will your novel be published?Can you show it to me?Professor Wang Haiyang joked, "I can't say I can give you some advice."

Yanfeng glanced at him.

I said it was not a novel.

OK, if you say no, then you are not.

He took his breakfast from the canteen aunt's hand, and Wang Haiyang smiled and patted the colleague's shoulder. I still have class, so I'll take a step first.Good luck!
