This Game Is Too Realistic

"100,000CR..."

Sitting in front of the computer in the shelter’s residence hall, Chu Guang couldn’t help but sigh while looking at the manual for the plasma CNC machine.

It is good stuff.

But it’s so damn expensive!

If only it were 100,000 silver coins, he would buy it without any hesitation.

If that was really not possible, splitting the payment into several installments would also be fine.

According to Luo Hua, Ideal City had a stock exchange. It made him wonder if he could list his Shelter 404 on that stock exchange… Chu Guang did not dare to guarantee other things, but investing in them would definitely be more reliable than sending an expeditionary force.

His attention returned to the manual.

Although the professional content in it was beyond his knowledge, Chu Guang still understood roughly based on some key information that Little Seven helped sort out.

Although high-precision plasma cutting technology existed as early as the end of the twentieth century, and some people had combined it with CNC technology and applied it in the field of CNC machining that required high precision, in the end the precision was limited due to the nature of plasma itself. As a result, CNC plasma cutters’ usage were often limited to cutting patterns and parts that were flat steel plates which required only two axles of motion.

One main reason for this was because the cut made by the plasma torch was too wide, and the cutting was still essentially done using thermal energy.

Even if manufacturers made smaller nozzles and smaller plasma arcs, the accuracy could only reach the lower standard of laser cutting at most.

But the machine that Li De showed him was different.

From the most fundamental technical principle, the plasma used by this machine tool was not the same thing as the blowtorch in the other world, but a variant of the magnetic confinement controllable nuclear fusion device.

It could not only heat the inert gas as a working fluid to hundreds of millions of degrees to form ultra-high-energy plasma, but also used its own magnetic field to constrain it.

It was like a fusion reactor without any inefficiencies!

The plasma jet containing terrifying energy was condensed into a single-atom-wide cutting line.

According to the precise control of the ejection speed and ejection amount of the plasma jet, it could not only achieve nano-scale cutting of solid materials, but also accurately control the cutting depth. Moreover, almost no obvious burrs or burned marks would be produced on the cutting surface.

Compared with traditional mechanical tools, the gaseous single-atom knife formed under magnetic confinement had almost no error when it came to matching.

As long as the preset parameters were entered, it could produce geometric figures without any changes to the properties of the material itself through simple cutting and welding, whereas traditional machine tools would need to go through multiple operation procedures to achieve that.

For the Pioneer, the significance of the old antique may not be so important. After all, the machine tool was not suitable for mass production, but was only suitable for high-precision processing of traditional solid materials that had been formed, which was equivalent to the final step in the process. In contrast, they not only had more advanced and safer cold gas single-atom cutting technology, but also were closer to the pre-war society in terms of mass production.

However, for Shelter 404, which lacked tools, its significance was equivalent to the mother of all industrial machines!

In any case, I must get this machine!

Chu Guang thought to himself.

Although it was a bit shameless to say this, it was also for the sake of his players so they could have a better gaming experience.

"I have to find a way to shake them down a bit more!"

...

On the forum of the official website.

Makka Pakka: ??? Why did I get disconnected? The screen went black as soon as I opened the cabinet? Is this a bug? Yo! Dev, can you help me take a look.

Elf Wang: Brother, you didn’t get disconnected, you died on the spot.

Midnight Pubg : +1, I saw with my own eyes. You were blasted into pieces, and the walls were splashed with your blood. The administrator even mourned in silence for a long time.

Irene: Don’t pretend to be dumb, brother. It’s not the first time you died. Others might not know what’s wrong with the black screen, but don’t you know? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Makka Pakka: ???

Yaya: Hahahaha! Noob! Hahahaha! Weak! (*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓

Escaping Mole: I think the official website should add a new special achievement, recording the number of deaths by monsters. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Night Ten: Smh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Makka Pakka: *#@%!

There was a jolly vibe throughout the post.

Just when everyone was joking about how Makka Pakka was going to die next time, the official website suddenly posted an announcement.

[Announcement: Temporary adjustment of expansion activities]

[1. In order to test the taste and cooking effect of the updated ingredients in the latest version, a new series of Lifestyle Profession missions are now available. Luca, who is located in the operation camp, seems to be in a little trouble. A yellow exclamation mark has appeared on the map. Those who are well-versed in the arts of culinary, please go online to receive the mission.]

[2. Due to abnormal data of the newly added monsters in the expansion that caused a difficult-to-fix technical bug, players who died because of content related to the expansion will be unable to revive temporarily. At present, our technicians are doing their best to investigate this bug, and have worked overtime for 24 hours. But don’t worry, our boss has purchased additional insurance for each employee. All the developers have promised that they will not get off from work until this bug is resolved!]

[Because the bug is extremely difficult to fix, and it cannot be fixed within the short term, we are compensating players who may have missed out on the expansion. We will be giving out 100 silver coins to the affected accounts, as well as a chance to win a guaranteed lucky draw for weapon accessories. The compensation will be released within three days after the expansion event ends.]

[However, we strictly prohibit the abuse of game bugs including malicious suicide to scam compensation from the shelter. If it is determined that there is deliberate intention, no compensation will be given to the offending accounts, and in severe cases, an additional 300% of death penalty will be imposed on the offending account.]

Tail: Sisi! Kill me when you get online!! ∑(??Д??ノ)ノ

Sisi: Do you want to get me banned?!

Makka Pakka: What the hell?! What does this update mean? Does it mean that I won’t be able to play the game in the next few days??? (horrified)

Elf Wang: Damn, brother, can you finish reading the announcement! You’ve just hit the jackpot!

Midnight Pubg: Wtf! Why is it not me who opened that cabinet? Is it still too late to do it now? T.T

Eye Owe Money: Got it! The Buffed class in this version is corpses!

Irene: Anyone wanna team up to be corpses? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Escaping Mole: Wait a minute, don’t rush to die! The reward of 100 silver coins seems to be a lot, but there is no doubt that dying at this time is a loss! The event point of the expansion can already allow you to participate in the lucky draw after the expansion ends. And the compensation lottery chance will only guarantee to give you weapon accessories! You must know that in addition to the scope, the hammer grip, bracket, and bayonet are also accessories!

Ample Time: Indeed, there is no specific time when the expansion will end. If it ends after half a month, the compensation of 100 silver coins and a chance to draw a lottery is really not worth it. So I don’t recommend you die for this small compensation.

Makka Pakka: Damn it! Based on what you said, I feel like I suffered a big loss! I was only happy for damn 5 minutes! QAQ

Lightning Professor: Disagree! If it is the last day of the expansion, and the bug still cannot be fixed at that time, you can fully experience the content of the expansion and also get compensation. Isn’t it a total win?

Escaping Mole:...

Ample Time:...

Night Ten: Damn it, you idiot! Why do you have to say it out loud?!

Lightning Professor: ?

Several familiar IDs instantly went offline.

Players who were qualified for the alpha testing either went to their other groups to chat privately, or went online to receive the mission from Luca. Everyone knew very clearly that Light was always lurking in the forum. No one knew when he would jump out all of sudden. He was more frightening than the class teacher who appeared by the window in the evening self-study sessions.

There were only non-test players and newcomers discussing how to die in a reasonable manner without being judged by the devs to be maliciously abusing the bug.

After all, once it was determined that they were maliciously abusing the bug, not only would they not receive any compensation, but their punishment would be three times worse, which was really not worth it.

But from another point of view, as long as their acting was realistic, they would make a fortune!

And think about it, as long as they didn’t act too exaggeratedly, even if they failed to cheat, the probability of being punished should not be high, at most, they would receive no compensation at all.

It’s a game after all!

Isn’t death a common occurrence?
