This Game Is Too Realistic

"Have you met the manager?"

"Yes."

In the wasteland in the north of Xizhou City, a few wolf howls can be faintly heard in the distance.

Standing next to the simple tent, Xavier held the phone in his hand, his expression full of respect.

The person speaking to him at this moment was none other than Sigma, the uncrowned king of the Bugla Free State and the president and chairman of the Firestone Group.

After briefly asking about the manager's situation, Sigma continued to ask about what he was most concerned about.

"Where's Dillon."

Xavier said with a heavy tone.

"Dillon...is dead."

There was a brief silence on the communication channel.

Sigma asked slowly.

"How did you die?"

Xavier answered truthfully.

"The New Alliance people said that he died on the battlefield and was buried in a trench near the pine forest..."

Xavier's mood was filled with tension when he said these words.

Although the Rift Valley is the suzerain of the Bugla Free State, the Legion is the main trading partner of the Firestone Group.

He didn't know what agreement the boss had reached with the Legion, but his intuition told him that Dillon's identity should not be simple.

Fortunately, the boss was a sensible person and did not take his anger out on him.

After taking a moment to calm down, the voice on the other end of the communication channel continued to ask.

"……trade agreement?"

Xavier said ashamedly.

"We haven't reached an agreement... They only agreed to give us certain concessions on tariffs, and only for non-arms products. As for exploration rights and mining rights, they don't plan to talk to us."

"How strong are they?"

There was a hint of sharpness in the voice, like a sharp blade.

Xavier's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and spoke cautiously.

"They have about two thousand-man teams. They are not many in number, but their individual strength is very strong. The other one is weapons. Although their equipment is not advanced, it is sufficient in number and has a very special design... The Ya clan did not lose unjustly. ."

The other end of the communication channel was silent for a while.

He seemed lost in thought.

After a long time, his boss slowly spoke.

"I understand. Come back first. I have other tasks for you."

Xavier felt relieved and said respectfully.

"As commanded."

…

Three days have passed since the auction ended.

real world.

At the Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a certain laboratory is working overtime.

"...how...how is this done?"

Staring at the pictures on the computer screen, Academician Liu Yiping's face was filled with expressions of disbelief.

A soft artificial SEI film with a thickness of less than 100 nanometers is like a magical barrier.

Yes.

That series of magical properties is simply like magic.

It has extraordinary mechanical strength, high stability and a single ion channel.

The highly electronegative and thiophilic perchlorate groups on the open metal sites in the coordination polymer channels can effectively improve the transfer number of Li+ in the composite membrane and the conductivity of individual ion channels.

This series of exquisite designs enables it to effectively suppress the generation of side reactions, adjust the deposition pattern of Li+ on the negative electrode, and effectively suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, thereby maintaining the stability of the positive and negative electrodes of the battery.

It’s incredible!

"...Professor, the data analysis results from the charge and discharge cycle group have come out." A researcher wearing glasses walked over, with the same expression as if he had seen a ghost on his face with dark circles under his eyes.

Professor Liu Yiping looked away from the screen, looked at his students, and said immediately.

"Bring it to me quickly!"

"Here..." The researcher handed over the USB flash drive.

Three days is certainly not enough time for the entire research team to read all the documents.

But it was completely enough for them to use the most advanced equipment to restore the [Artificial SEI Film No. 404] in the laboratory according to the method given in the information.

After the membrane is produced, the next step is to test the performance of the membrane.

The scientific research dogs in the project team quickly produced a simple lithium battery model, using lithium sheets as the negative electrode.

These materials are not difficult to obtain. The most indispensable thing in the entire laboratory is electrochemistry-related things.

After disassembling the bagged battery at the end of the cycle and transferring it to the observation area under non-air conditions through an in-situ transfer box, they quickly obtained a 3D image of the sample surface under a scanning electron microscope and a 2D projection under a transmission electron microscope.

And all of this is to get more information about that membrane.

These tasks may sound simple, but in fact they take a lot of time.

During these three days, his research team did nothing and devoted all their energy to those 10 gigabytes of data.

In fact, after getting such results, there is no need to continue the project they did before...

Plugging the USB disk into the computer and looking at the images on the screen, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Academician Liu Yiping's face.

He pinched his sore eyebrows and muttered that sentence over and over while sitting in the office chair.

"...How on earth is it done?"

The researcher standing aside said nothing, but it was obvious that he also wanted to ask this question.

Three days ago, when they first got the information, everyone in the entire project team thought it was a joke.

An unresolved question in academia.

Even at the last academic conference, they were still discussing possible directions that might work, and whether the lithium battery road is worth continuing.

As a result, now, suddenly someone claims to have found the standard answer.

And it’s in a direction that no one has tried before.

This unbelievable thing seems like an April Fool's Day joke no matter how you think about it.

This is not an impossible question, but it is logically difficult to establish.

If we use existing technology to design a product according to specific needs, whether it is a weapon or a water bottle, it will not be difficult to keep it secret.

Research in cutting-edge fields, however, is completely different.

This is not a question of whether it should be made public or not, but simply cannot be done behind closed doors.

After entering the 20th century, scientific research has become a systematic thing.

The role of an individual in the system is more like a "wafer" on a CPU than a bsp;

Except for the occasional genius in the field of mathematics who can work hard behind closed doors and make the same progress when going out, research in most fields is already a "legionary operation."

Although there are some teams that, in order to take the lead in their own research directions, suppress the release of phased results and hold back a big move to release a nuclear bomb, basically what their peers are doing cannot be hidden.

"... There is a detailed description of the reaction mechanism on page 27 of Document No. 13, but we did not observe it on the equipment."

"Is it not observable, or is it not observed?" the old gentleman asked carefully.

The researcher hesitated and spoke slowly.

"To be precise...it's the former. Our equipment can observe the deposition process of lithium dendrites on the control group, but how Li+ passes through that film...We can't capture its path. We may need to focus on this Seed membrane materials and redesign a set of experimental methods."

"On our own, this would take a long time...unless we can find the research team to produce these results."

"But it's so strange. I just looked through the records of the last two academic conferences, and I couldn't find any discussion on this research direction. The only ones that are similar...if you look closely, they are completely different."

At this time, the researcher sitting at the table next to him suddenly sighed.

"I don't know which boss suddenly dropped the nuclear bomb."

"Are there any such talented people in the field of materials science?"

"I counted on my fingers, but I couldn't figure out who it was..."

"Speaking of which, what should we do next? Should we continue with the previous projects?"

"I guess we should change the direction... It will take a while for the industry to fully digest this, let alone raise new questions."

"Hey... three years of hard work have been in vain. Fortunately, I finished my graduation thesis a few years ago."

"It can't be said that all the hard work has been in vain. Some of the phased results are still very interesting. But as for the SEI film... there is really no way out."

Listening to the students' discussion, Professor Liu Yiping said nothing. He was also thinking about a lot of things.

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

He picked up his phone and walked outside.

The call was connected, and an urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Liu, what happened?"

Liu Yiping said.

"The membrane has been made."

After hearing this, the voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little more excited.

"Is it easy to use?"

Liu Yiping said with emotion: "It's not only easy to use... it just shocked me."

Strictly speaking, even the lithium-ion batteries now popular on the market can benefit from this technology.

And if it is to design a new battery for pure lithium anode, it will not be technically difficult.

The electrolyte, cathode materials and separators, the industrial chain of these components are all ready-made.

It is equivalent to changing the battery cathode industry chain and adding an additional "paint" production line on the basis of the original industry chain, and this technology can be put to use immediately.

He could even imagine the crazy expressions on the faces of his friends in the industry after learning about this technology.

That must be wonderful.

The old man on the other end of the phone continued to ask: "What about the cost? Is it difficult to industrialize it?"

Liu Yiping quickly answered.

"The specific cost is a problem for the industry. Laboratory preparation and industrial preparation are two different things. However, I took a look at the process flow given in the information. According to my understanding of the industry, it should not be very easy to make. Disaster."

"Great! Hahaha, thank you for your hard work this time!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with obvious joy.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do," after a moment of pause, Academician Liu suddenly said, "By the way... I have a request, I don't know if it's appropriate to make it."

The old man on the other end of the phone said immediately.

"Please tell me! If I can help, I will definitely help!"

"If possible, I would like to meet the team that researched those materials, or meet their person in charge." After a pause, Academician Liu briefly omitted the complicated technical details and continued, "There are many things. , I want to ask him for advice."

What the industry is interested in is the membrane, and what he is interested in is how the membrane was made and how he came up with the idea.

Know how it is, know why it is so.

It doesn't take much time to copy an assignment, but it's not that easy to understand the assignment and understand the ideas for solving the problem.

For a scientific researcher who seeks the truth, results, methods, and ideas are indispensable.

In three days, they only understood half of the information.

The remaining half may take three months or even three years to fully absorb.

Academic progress is not just the accumulation of results, but also the improvement of tools and methods while obtaining results.

He wanted to have a good chat with the man who defeated them.

He believed that he would benefit a lot from being an academically accomplished person.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

"Old Liu...if it's something else, forget it. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Academician Liu hesitated and said seriously.

"Can you give me a reason?"

The person on the other end of the phone sighed.

"...How do you feel after reading that information?"

Academician Liu put it bluntly.

"Incredible."

the old man asked.

"How incredible is it?"

Academician Liu was silent for a while, then coughed slightly and said.

"...Don't laugh at me if I tell you."

The old man said with a smile.

"Say it, your opinion is also important to us."

After hesitating for a moment, Academician Liu finally expressed his truest thoughts.

Although in a joking tone.

"...It's like it was made by aliens."

The phone was silent for a while.

Academician Liu was slightly embarrassed.

Just when he was about to say something to ease the embarrassment, a soft sigh came from the other end of the phone.

"...I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone. I happen to be planning to come over too. Please wait for me for a while."

After saying that, a busy signal came from the other end of the phone.

Academician Liu, who was holding the phone, was stunned for a moment, and his expression gradually became weird.

Are they really aliens?

It's not like that...

…

"...It seems we are not the only ones who think so! Academician Liu also feels that these technologies do not look like they were developed by a research team on Earth."

"Speaking of which, Academician Gao we consulted last time seemed to have said so."

"It appears our initial speculation was correct."

"I didn't expect Close Encounters of the Third Kind to unfold in this way. It's incredible!"

Somewhere, in the office, the discussion was heated.

The leader of the task force just received a call from Academician Liu and has now gone to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the old team leader, the "reverse work" on the membrane material went very smoothly, and the cost was within an acceptable range. It won't take long for the product to be available.

Everyone on the task force was very happy when they heard the news, which showed that their work was effective.

"By the way, is there any news from Academician Gao?" a colleague suddenly asked.

The colleague sitting next to him answered.

"Academician Gao? Are you talking about the mining expert we consulted before?"

"That's right. Didn't Lao Li give him the website? I wonder if he has gone up to check it out."

"I didn't ask. It's not easy to ask."

At this time, a staff member spoke.

"I think our strategy is still too conservative. We should propose it to our superiors to control the players."

This is indeed one of the options.

However, his proposal did not receive support from many people.

Someone soon said.

"I object. What about the risks? Have you considered it?"

"If you've done your job well, what's the risk?" the man retorted, "And don't you think it's more efficient?"

"I don't think at all that the efficiency you think is just what you think. Moreover, people trust their own organizations, and organizations trust their own people. What does it mean to control people? Do you not trust the organization, or do you not trust the people? This kind of thinking There’s a big problem!”

Not only is it a big problem, it’s simply reactionary!

However, considering that this comrade had good intentions and was just a little impatient, the colleague who objected did not say it so seriously.

Seeing that the commonplace topic was about to be debated in the office again, the man with the Chinese character coughed lightly, interrupting the argument between the two.

"...Okay, let's not discuss things that have already been discussed. The above means to remain cautious and maintain the status quo. The team leader and I also have this idea."

"To rashly intervene in the game process not only commits the error of outsiders guiding experts and interventionism, but also easily leads to uncontrollable results."

"Since the current rules are beneficial to us, what we have to do now is not to change the rules and upset our own table, but to maintain the rules and maintain our advantage."

After looking around at the colleagues present, the man with the Chinese character continued.

"Let's talk about something practical. This 'technology introduction' actually exposed our lack of preparation."

"The platform for purchasing foreign exchange was opened a long time ago. The other party actually gave us a long time to prepare, but no one paid enough attention at that time, so they rushed to purchase together on the last day, and ended up being embarrassed that we couldn't buy it. Instead, speculators who entered the market early took the opportunity to make a fortune.”

Originally, this transaction should have been completed by a central enterprise with a state-owned background, so that the technology transformation could begin immediately after the technology was introduced.

However, the time was too short.

In such a short time, there was no time to connect with specific companies.

They can only act urgently, buy back the technology first, and then decide how to use it, specifically which unit and person in charge.

There are too many things involved behind this.

The man wearing glasses nodded.

"Indeed... we can't improvise every time. Especially with this precedent, next time there is news, speculators active on the trading platform will definitely push the price up."

The staff member who had previously proposed to control the players sighed and said.

"If it's just that the price is more expensive, it's not a problem that money can solve. Even if it's temporarily suspended like last time, even if you have money, you won't be able to buy it."

The trader who was operating before also nodded and said.

"That's right, and with the kind of accumulation method of chasing ducks to the shelves, even a blind person can see who is buying. If I were a speculator, I couldn't help but come up and take a cut."

If it is a slow increase in holdings, it is impossible to tell who is buying.

But with the same posture as yesterday, they could calculate how many cards the opponent had in their hand without even using a pen to count.

"... We currently have 2 million silver coin reserves, which is still too low. My suggestion is to set up a 'technology introduction fund' and mobilize a few professional traders from the financial system to provide long-term stability." Overweight.”

"Are we just going to build foreign exchange reserves?" a colleague sitting at the desk next to me joked.

the trader said with a smile.

"Why not? Although we don't know what they need, they have the technology we need. If you understand players as labor exports, we should also pay those workers who help us earn 'foreign exchange'."

The man's eyes lit up.

"It makes sense. This is a good suggestion. I will write it in a report and report it to my superiors!"

Seeing that his opinions were taken seriously, the trader also opened up the conversation and continued talking.

"...Besides, let's not just establish a normalized foreign exchange purchase mechanism, we must also clarify the method of purchasing foreign exchange. For example, money for introducing technology cannot always go from state funds. We must encourage those who benefit from technology Enterprises use part of their profits to purchase technology, only in this way can a virtuous cycle be formed."

On the surface, the money they use to buy silver coins is distributed to players, but in fact it is the companies that obtain the technology that are subsidized.

You can do this once or twice, but if you continue to do this for a long time, problems will definitely arise.

Frequent micro-management, not only will there be opinions from above,

Everyone was making suggestions, and the man with the Chinese character took notes meticulously. It didn't take long for several pages to be filled, and the pen was almost smoking.

The specific details of this "Extraterrestrial Civilization Technology Introduction Fund" still need to be decided after detailed communication with other departments, but the general direction has been determined.

Looking at the notebook full of notes, the man with the Chinese character face was filled with emotion and suddenly had a strange idea.

By the way, is Aguang’s usual work like this?

While staring at the forum, taking notes, and then playing games.

If this is the case, it seems that the planning of "Wasteland OL" is indeed not that easy...

…

While relevant departments from various countries are meeting to discuss countermeasures, the official website forum of "Wasteland OL" is busy.

"Uuuuuuu, Brother Aguang, when will your bank exchange open?"

"Gan! It's been locked for three days. The network won't fluctuate for that long, right?"

"I'm crying. If I don't open the plate, my family will be unable to open the pot! QAQ"

"It's so funny, I almost believed it!"

On the day when the previous expansion pack ended, any player who had silver coins in their pockets, as long as they were not too greedy to hold on to them, or imitating others who sold high and bought low, and repeatedly jumped horizontally to earn the price difference, basically all I made crazy money with that wave.

Can't open the pot?

nonexistent.

Even a newbie who just entered the game and only had a few hundred silver coins in his pocket took advantage of the price increase and made a profit of ten thousand to twenty thousand.

Although this means having to work hard to move bricks in the game again, it is all worth it!

The war is over and all industries are waiting to be prospered. It is the time to work hard to produce and consolidate the fruits of victory. How can we spend money on enjoyment?

For the alliance!

Awesome!

Browsing the official website forum, Chu Guang was pleased to see that his little players had just come off the front line and ran to the construction site non-stop.

He also shared his work experience on the forum like a show off.

This is indeed something to show off.

In the past, the qualification for closed beta testing was not worth much, but now a helmet is worth at least one million, and even more is worthless.

Of course, "going to the construction site" is just a figurative way of saying it.

There are still many ways to make money in Wasteland OL.

Although there are many power-type players moving bricks on the construction site, more players still take their loot to nearby survivor settlements such as Honghe Town to run businesses.

In order to give his little players something to do, Chu Guang also overcame all opinions and approved an infrastructure plan with a budget of 200 million silver coins under the surprised eyes of old Charlie, Luca and other logistics officials!

This plan covers the railways of the new alliance, as well as the construction of Auroville. Relevant resources will be given priority to companies run by players, followed by companies run by NPCs.

I believe that young players will be grateful for their generosity!

As for the silver coin trading platform that was suspended due to "network fluctuations," Chu Guang was not in a hurry to open it.

On the one hand, players now have no extra spare money in their pockets, and those participating in transactions at this time are speculators.

On the one hand, the "big investors" in reality are still studying strategies for the next stage, and it will take some time for new funds to enter the market.

The opening of the market at this time has no meaning other than letting those speculators cut leeks.

Whether you are a cloud player or a player, it takes time.

And Chu Guang is also waiting for an opportunity.

He is waiting for the technology in the game to be projected into reality, waiting for the seeds he has sown to sprout.

This shouldn't take long.

After all, it was a technology he personally selected based on actual needs.

Not to mention that the people he cooperates with come from the same place as those outstanding young players...
