"100,000CR..."


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


    <em>It is good stuff.</em>


    <em>But it’s so damn expensive!</em>


    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.


    ording 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.First of all, the machine was really high-tech.


    Although high-precision sma cutting technology existed as early as the end of the twentieth century, and some people hadbined 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 sma itself. As a result, CNC sma cutters’ usage were often limited to cutting patterns and parts that were t steel tes which required only two axles of motion.


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


    Even if manufacturers made smaller nozzles and smaller sma arcs, the uracy could only reach the lower standard ofser cutting at most.


    But the machine that Li De showed him was different.


    From the most fundamental technical principle, the sma used by this machine tool was not the same thing as the blowtorch in the other world, but a variant of the maic confinement controble 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 sma, but also used its own maic field to constrain it.


    It was like a fusion reactor without any inefficiencies!


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


    ording to the precise control of the ejection speed and ejection amount of the sma jet, it could not only achieve nano-scale cutting of solid materials, but also urately 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 maic 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, whichcked tools, its significance was equivalent to the mother of all industrial machines!


    <em>In any case, I must get this machine!</em>


    Chu Guang thought to himself.


    Although it was a bit shameless to say this, it was also for the sake of his yers 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 ck as soon as I opened the cab? 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 sted into pieces, and the walls were sshed 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 ck screen, but don’t you know? ( ?° ?? ?°)


    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. ( ?° ?? ?°)


    Night Ten: Smh ( ?° ?? ?°)


    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.


    <strong>[Announcement: </strong>Temporary adjustment of expansion activities<strong>]</strong>


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


    <strong>[2. </strong>Due to abnormal data of the newly added monsters in the expansion that caused a difficult-to-fix technical bug, yers who died because of content rted 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!<strong>]</strong>


    <strong>[</strong>Because the bug is extremely difficult to fix, and it cannot be fixed within the short term, we arepensating yers who may have missed out on the expansion. We will be giving out 100 silver coins to the affected ounts, as well as a chance to win a guaranteed lucky draw for weapon essories. Thepensation will be released within three days after the expansion event ends.<strong>]</strong>


    <strong>[</strong>However, we strictly prohibit the abuse of game bugs including malicious suicide to scampensation from the shelter. If it is determined that there is deliberate intention, nopensation will be given to the offending ounts, and in severe cases, an additional 300% of death penalty will be imposed on the offending ount.<strong>]</strong>


    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 y 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 cab? Is it still toote to do it now? T.T


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


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


    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 thepensation lottery chance will only guarantee to give you weapon essories! You must know that in addition to the scope, the hammer grip, bracket, and bay are also essories!


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


    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 thest 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 getpensation. Isn’t it a total win?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    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.


    yers 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 ss teacher who appeared by the window in the evening self-study sessions.


    There were only non-test yers and neers 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 anypensation, 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 nopensation at all.


    <em>It’s a game after all!</em>


    <em>Isn’t death amon urrence?</em>
