Chapter 50 The Longest Night (2)(1/2)
October 5th, 5:30 pm, sunny, outside Shiqian City, at the WE-271 Station between the Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road.
Information communication is an extremely important part of any society.
Even in this era, the original scientific and technological communication methods have been semi-disabled, human beings still use the technology of the new era to complete the information layout within the sphere of influence of the big city.
"Since we can only use wifi-level networks, then we should establish enough sites."
A very simple and straightforward idea. On the main outer ring road outside the city, there are countless small inns. The distances range from the shortest three to five kilometers to more than ten or twenty kilometers. The size and specifications are also adapted to local conditions.
They are not only network nodes, but also inns and inns for travelers along the way to rest. They are even reconnaissance posts that serve as warnings.
Especially leading to some important towns on the fifth and sixth rings, the inns there also function as military fortresses. Many elite hunters are stationed for a long time, and active offensive support is needed when necessary.
But we-271 Station is obviously not included in this list.
Although it is included in the military's information network site, there are no strategic points or resource points in front of it. It is also off the main road leading to other towns and big cities, and there are not many tourists coming and going.
Not to mention oil and water, there is no sour water to drink. I can only survive by occasionally fighting a few strange beasts that bump into me.
Material supplies? The wage subsidy is very generous, and the rations are guaranteed. Luxury goods such as tobacco, alcohol, and the like are so expensive. With twice the salary, I really can’t bear to buy them when faced with five times the amount of unscrupulous businessmen.
But today, it's not dark yet, and the guards here are already having a bonfire party happily.
The reason? Today I met a kind-hearted wealthy traveling businessman. He just made a fortune and was about to return to the city to replenish supplies. So he simply took out the supplies he had stored for everyone to have fun with.
This kind of thing is also common. After all, long-term travel supplies must be replenished and replaced regularly. It is also a good thing to make good friends with the fellows at the stations along the way. But for the remote WE271 station, I can only hear about it.
"Little Yinghuo, why don't you come down and have a drink?"
"Auntie, I'm not underage yet."
The voice of an angry girl with a hint of a childish voice came from the top floor window of the cart, making the uncles and aunts below burst into laughter.
There were bonfires, barbecues, beers, and happy folks who were good at playing the piano and dancing. When it was just dusk and the Zodiac constellation Fire Dragon just appeared from the east, the scene was already getting happier and happier.
Only the organizer of the banquet was still making some messy things in his cart.
"It's okay if you don't drink. Miss Yinghuo, let's come down and play together."
There was no answer to this inquiry. The electronic music playing on the speakers above was the clearest answer.
"Haha, I really don't know what the point of young people today is to always be locked in a room."
"Ha, you are a bastard who has been eliminated by the times. They are not locked in the room, but surfing the Internet in the room. We have military lines here, and the speed is super fast. She might be chatting with her family. You didn't
Have you seen that large transmitter? Young people know more about it than you do. Maybe you can have a "frank" relationship with your boyfriend in the room and have a remote party!"
The place he was pointing to was a large external spiritual network receiver, similar to WiFi. When the truck first arrived, it was placed under an open signal tower. That was the place with the best signal in the station.
.
But his unbridled speech also annoyed someone.
"bang"
The wrench dropped from the window hit the talkative guy firmly on the head, causing him to hold his head and cry out in pain, while also making the people around him laugh.
"I told you, I'm not an adult yet! You bad uncles!"
The girl's angry voice will only make the bad uncles laugh even more happily.
It was not surprising that she could hear the conversation outside.
After all, the entire cart is an extension of her body. Considering the size of the cart, maybe the bonfire scene next to the cart is within her territory.
It goes without saying that there are dangers in traveling these days, and it goes without saying that vehicles are valuable and practical.
In the wilderness where space shocks and alien beasts can attack at any time, being able to have a peaceful and peaceful sleep is more useful than any supplies.
But when it comes to cultivating car-type spiritual weapons, in a sense, car-type spiritual weapons, house-type spiritual weapons, and city-type spiritual weapons are the same thing. They are all areas based on self-domain abilities. Space stabilizers, car-type spiritual weapons
The weapon also comes with certain mobility and defense capabilities.
Not to mention that ordinary spiritual weapons consume ten times as much. According to functional classification and usage tendencies, resource consumption starts at least a hundred times.
As for a super big car like Yinghuo, even a starting price of 10,000 times is not too much. It basically sucks up all the savings of someone after making crazy money, not including the cost of studying abroad for professional training of the Eldar.
Yes, it is a super large car, not a large truck or the like. This is a super RV unique to this era, or to be more precise, it is similar to the specialty mobile base vehicle in the old Red Alert game.
The huge car body resembles a moving castle, the huge tires are taller than a person, and there is even a warm little garden and an open-air music stage on the top floor.
This type of super RV basically has a multi-story structure, and Yinghuo's body has four floors and more than a dozen large and small rooms.
Now, just by parking at the parking spot of the inn, it is no longer a matter of how many parking spaces she occupies, but directly occupies half of the parking lot, allowing many vehicles to move.
No one would think that there is anything strange about such a large vehicle, because they often see stranger and larger vehicles, and there are far more large vehicles than this that can travel between big cities.
The most common ones, the giant trains passing through towns and going between the rings, are super monsters much larger than fireflies.
Otherwise, there is not enough space to bring enough armed and elite soldiers while also performing the duties of a freight transporter (low freight frequency and high freight due to high risks in the wild).
The huge body is painted in elegant blue and red, and a huge mural and logo are painted on one side of the car body. It is a bonfire painting that creates light in the dark night.
A little fire lights up the night and points out the way.
The wanderers keep warm by the campfire and sing, hoping that one day they will return to their hometown.
Campfire? Firefly? When uncles and aunties see this picture and hear this name, they can understand the beautiful expectations and blessings of the sword master who made it.
The only thing that makes people strange is that Xiao Yinghuo's humanoid appearance is a bit too young, and there are no other merchants or protectors in her car. You must know that the car Eldar is almost a symbol of zero combat effectiveness. She said that the previous one was a big one.
At the station, all the passengers went down to take a rest, and waited for them to go to Shiqian City to load the goods, and then pick them up on their return trip.
Although I can't understand why it's time to move to the city. Instead of going to the city to rest, no matter how good the service at the inn is, can it be as good as the city? There are too many strange people and things these days, and the travelers who come and go do not have secret talents.
It's a minority, especially business-related, and uncles won't delve into it.
However, what the uncles and aunts don't know is that Little Yinghuo is currently in her room, scolding her creator.
"You bastard stinky dad actually asked me to do such a thing. I hope that once exposed, the uncles will not be implicated and their bonuses will be deducted. Well, even if they are really held accountable, it will not be big. Those materials can be compensated in advance."
In a room filled with various electronic devices, the Eldar girl with short red hair was biting a chocolate bar and tapping the keyboard frantically. There were six monitors around her, up and down, showing different pictures.
Amidst the deafening electronic sounds, she was full of energy, wearing short-sleeved shorts, an upside-down baseball cap covering the spiritual seal on her forehead, her little feet stepping on the pillow, and two hanging chairs hanging on the couch with colorful lights.
With the earphones, he looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his real age is less than half of his appearance.
While waiting for the appointed time, she can play games comfortably and safely and enjoy the convenience and happiness brought by electronic devices. This is one of the main reasons why this type of RV is worth the money.
"6:20, has it started?"
I turned off the dinging alarm and glanced at the contact list. An agreed-upon dating post had appeared on the agreed-upon forum, indicating that the plan was underway as planned.
A new virtual live broadcast platform with site coordinates of node we271 outside the city was successfully launched, but there was only one live broadcast room.
But soon, many navy accounts logged in, broadcast rooms on major live broadcast platforms were opened one after another, and the footage from the new live broadcast room was broadcast across the entire network.
Next, the names of all live broadcast rooms were uniformly renamed [Justice Beheading Demon Online Beheading.]
And this is only the first part of the job.
"Let me see, account number: BLQ2123, password: SQZSSG, uh, 'District Chief Sun is a fool'? How much resentment does the guy who manages the official account have towards his boss?"
I entered the official release account of the Bailu District Government's official website and successfully entered the backend management interface. Several security measures have been rendered meaningless with the help of insiders.
Open a list of plans in a window, and Firefox starts executing them one by one.
"First of all, it is to issue an official announcement, a notice of major power outage in two districts."
Three minutes later, an official announcement appeared on the main page of Bailu District's official website. As usual, all major media and platforms rebroadcast it one after another. Even people in Bailu District who are still chatting, watching live broadcasts, and watching movies can see the message floating at the top of the screen.
Past announcements.
"This area has suffered a sudden high-dimensional attack, and there are problems with the power lines. They will be repaired as soon as possible. Please wait patiently. Because the attack method is more complicated at this time, the repair time is expected to be more than eight hours. Please do not go out.
Avoid unexpected losses.”
Such an announcement is nothing in itself. It is difficult to defend against various troublesome high-dimensional attacks. The third and fourth ring belts have always been the hardest hit areas. Everyone is used to power outages. The announcement itself is also a familiar standard format for official documents.
Sometimes the power station explodes and something goes wrong. If the resistance is changed to the point where there is no alternative route, the repair time will be extended.
There was even one time, after waiting for three days and still not getting it done, a temporary public line was finally pulled out, and everyone was connected to the line to use electricity. Within a few hours, Attel switched it back again, which made everyone angry at the time.
The "temporary linemen" went on a rampage and demonstrated in front of the embassy, scaring the other parties so much that they dared not go out.
Considering the number of backup lines now, such announcements are rare, but there are still a few times every few months. Seeing this, many people were ready to go to bed early, only to find out
"Huh? There's a power outage? Why are the lights still on?"
Indeed, the bright lights overhead seemed to mock the announcement.
"Whoosh!"
After two minutes, the blackout announced in the announcement finally came, and the whole room and the whole street were dark, which made people suddenly realize it.
"Ah, this high-dimensional strike actually comes with an advance?"
At the same time, a certain car Eldar was covering her face. She had just read the work list carefully.
"Ah, we actually had to wait for the second signal. When the signal came, it was five minutes early. It's okay, it's okay."
She didn't know yet that the prophetic announcement would become a new meme on Shiqian City's network in the future.
But now, she has no time to think about this. Every minute is precious now, and there are a lot of work tasks.
To be continued...
