Chapter 702 Smuggling on the Rails
The Duchess got into some conversation, waving her fan and said: "Not to mention the lower five districts, even if the entire E27 wormhole point district is included, District 011 is considered peaceful and stable. There are still some districts that have fallen to alien species. All life in the subdivision is devastated, and the remaining humans are huddled in a few small safe zones. It is difficult to drink water or eat. "
“Madam, have you been to these places?” Selin asked.
“District 011 also needs to establish diplomatic relations with other districts, and communication is essential.” The Duchess said calmly.
She did not say what value it had for establishing diplomatic relations with District 011 in a subdivision where most of the area was occupied by alien species.
“I have been to many places, and it seems that Area 011 is the best.” The Duchess sipped her wine, “If all game zones in the future become like Area 011, then the world will be really peaceful.”
Xu Huo and Selin both smiled and said nothing.
Have they all become like District 011?
District 011 is not as peaceful as it seems. There are conflicts between foreign players and local forces, and the battles between different factions of the government are also fierce. In order to divert these conflicts, District 011 is directing attention to other game zones.
To put it bluntly, it is a foreign war. Area 011 can rely on advanced weapons and strong player strength to plunder resources. Otherwise, there would not be a situation where several game zones are combined to form today''s Area 011.
The Duchess seems to hate games, but in fact she is the same kind of person as Ran Ying. The reasons are different, but the purpose is the same.
"By the way, you have just inherited the castle. According to tradition, you should hold a banquet. If you want to do charity, this is the first step." The Duchess said.
Xu Huo nodded, "We are already making preparations, and we will invite the Duchess to visit us when the time comes."
The Duchess covered her lips and smiled, "I will bring more friends with me then."
After chatting for a few more words, the duchess left, and Xu Huo went directly to the game base.
??Crossing the warning tape outside the base, he walked over to pick up two boxes and rescued Wan Tingfang, who was almost buried.
"You''re back!" Wan Tingfang''s eyes lit up and she said quickly: "Come on and help me, these things are so heavy!"
Xu Huo also weighed it, "Is there stone inside? Why don''t you use a cart to transport it?"
“All the indoor cars have been requisitioned,” Wan Tingfang said: “The director doesn’t allow the use of props for these things, so I have to do it myself.”
"This thing is heavier than a stone. I heard Captain Shi say it is a rare ore. I brought it back to sample it."
?Xu Huo helped move two boxes, "Did you bring this back from a previous mission?"
"That''s not true." Wan Tingfang said: "This is the first time I''ve heard of smuggling of ores. Dimension train, it''s amazing that there are people smuggling ores."
“The conductors on the train work without pay, so it’s not surprising that some people bring smuggled items to make some money,” Xu Huo said.
??However, ores like this can be placed in the luggage compartment.
"You''re right, it was the flight attendant who did it." Wan Tingfang told the whole story in one breath, "Originally we were notified that the track was being repaired, but who knew that when we went over to take a look, we discovered that the dimension train was overweight. !”
“It’s overweight, can you believe it! The dimensional train is also overweight!”
“Even Captain Shi found it strange. He checked several nearby stations before intercepting the car. Good guy, the whole car was carrying ore. We blocked a station before catching it.”
"But I heard from the director that it may be because these ores are mixed with some radioactive ores that can cause orbital interference. We brought a batch back for final inspection." ??? "Radioactive ores? Will they not cause harm to the human body?" Xu Huo asked.
“I checked it and said the impact is very small.” Wan Tingfang said nonchalantly: “Besides, we are in and out of the game every day. We have been to many places with mutated mines, but we haven’t seen anything bad.”
The two of them went upstairs while talking, and met She Ping and Cai Xiangxiang on the way. They were also helping to sort the ore. Several offices were occupied by the ore, and the members of the Orbital Supply Department were all disgraced.
?Shi Youzhi was holding a testing instrument to classify each piece of ore. When he saw Xu Huo, he just nodded and gave him an instrument to help him along.
?Xu Huo took an instrument and sorted the ores in the box with the help of Wan Tingfang. After the instrument scanned the box, the number and classification of the ore would immediately be displayed on the screen.
? He ??scanned for a while and found that these ores had no specific names, and were all replaced by numbers composed of letters and numbers.
“Does the inability of the instrument to detect it mean that it is a new type of ore?” Wan Tingfang asked Shi Youzhi, “Then if we discover a new ore, will we be rewarded?”
Cai Xiangxiang laughed at the side, "Why do you think about such a good thing every day? The inability to scan out is probably because there are too many elements contained in it. Elementary instruments cannot classify it, so more precise instruments must be used to test it."
“Those that can be classified using the instruments we have are usually those in which a certain element accounts for more than 30%. The classification is actually not accurate, but it is enough for our preliminary screening.”
?Wan Tingfang sighed, "I knew it."
"But the ore that can affect the orbit is also very powerful, hasn''t it been discovered before?" She thought for a while and then said: "If there is this kind of ore everywhere and the orbit cannot run, wouldn''t we not need to make a copy?"
“Did you forget the first trial train?” Xu Huo asked beside him.
They did not enter the station when they got on the train for the first time.
Wan Tingfang reacted and shook his head helplessly, "That''s right."
“Since trains can be used for smuggling, will anyone use trains to transport weapons?” Xu Huo asked.
"This is different." Shi Youzhi replied: "Players cannot bring some weapons on the train. This is a mandatory rule of the train. Even if you bring them, they will be scraped off when you enter the station."
“The game has different detection capabilities for weapons and ores. Even if someone brings the weapon onto the car through special means, it cannot run very far on the track.”
“If there are a large number of weapons and high lethality, the game government will send people to deal with them as soon as possible. Maybe they will be caught before they can get from the previous station to the next station. The gain outweighs the loss.”
“If the quantity is small, it won’t be of much use if you carry it in the car, and it might as well be an ordinary prop.”
? Shi Youzhi is right. The higher the player level, the more props and features they get. Ordinary thermal weapons are useless. Not to mention dodging bullets at 360 degrees, catching them with bare hands is not a problem.
Since weapons cannot be placed in the luggage compartment, the weapons that players can carry with them are very limited.
“It’s better not to have guns than to have props.” Wan Tingfang said: “If you don’t have two guns on your waist when you get on the train, it will be expensive. It’s better to bring props. They are compact and convenient.”
“When I become an advanced player in the future, I will definitely buy two high-end props so that they look good and are easy to use. I don’t have to be like now, where I want to hang all the props on my body and look like a Christmas tree when I go out.”
