40,000 Years of Cultivation

"It turns out that the so-called'Nine-Nine-Six' Work System will cause such a devastation to ordinary people. It is simply not a life for people!"

"The entire economic system operates on the basis of high welfare. If you rush to carry out drastic reforms, it will indeed cause great turbulence to the lives of ordinary people. In the economic report, they are just a line of numbers that can weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice at any time. , But in real life, they are real people, people who have seven emotions and six desires, who will complain and even resist!"

"I went to the resource planet to mine in Xinghai Beach, and faced endless darkness for years and years, and the threat of a high mortality rate. Every ton of spar was mined with blood stains. No wonder most Panlong people are frowning! "

"Panlong civilization has not developed too many star-sea navigation technologies for thousands of years. It is too difficult to build a star-sea fleet from scratch! Ordinary people may not be able to see the obvious after they have reduced food and clothing for more than ten or twenty years. The progress is like roaming in the dark night, always unable to see the direction of dawn, and no one can stand it!"

When Long Yunxin saw her role as a young and beautiful, energetic girl, she gradually became described as haggard, wrinkled, and overwhelmed by the burden of life, she couldn't help but feel very entangled in her heart. Thoughts.

This girl was born in the "golden age" before the scarcity of resources. She grew up in a honeypot since she was a child. She was innocent and carefree, taking all happiness in life for granted.

However, just three days after she married her innocent and kind-hearted husband, the government announced that Panlong civilization had entered the era of "Glorious March". It would drastically cut benefits, extend working hours, force savings and purchase national debt, and all citizens tightened. Trouser belt, to support the construction of the Xinghai Fleet.

When Long Yunxin saw this, she felt quite self-conscious.

Because of the same policy, she had issued orders several times when she was the top consul just now.

At that time, she was also very upbeat, looking at the future of Panlong civilization with an overall attitude, but she had never thought about what such a change would mean to ordinary people.

After entering the era of "Glorious March", the ordinary Panlong woman she played was ruthlessly shattered from the life of the exquisite glass house.

Working hours have been greatly extended, but salary has been cut in half-even if it is the poor half, it must be divided into half and stored in the designated account of "Xinghai Development Bank" for a period of ten years. If you want to get it in less than ten years Come out, not only there is no interest, but even the principal will be reduced by a large amount!

A lot of resources have been invested in the construction of the Xinghai Fleet, and social prices have soared, the currency has depreciated, and people have been panicked.

Inflation and economic crises will break out every two or three years. In the end, a strict rationing system has to be implemented to barely stabilize the situation.

The veil of warmth between her and her husband was soon torn to pieces by the harsh reality. The husband, who was drained of blood and sweat in the factory during the day, became more and more silent, more sensitive, and more inaccessible.

Both their marriage and their family relationship are on the verge of collapse.

One day, there was bad news from the outside world. The latest mining starship, which cost a lot of money to build, once again declared a test failure. In the big bang, the resources that countless people tightened their belts were wasted!

People finally couldn't contain the anger in their hearts, and one after another took to the streets to protest, including Long Yunxin's "husband"!

Long Yunxin knew that her "husband" company was facing bankruptcy due to shortage of raw materials. He was in a bad mood these few days, occasionally facing the wall with straight eyes and muttering to himself.

Long Yun felt uneasy and went to the street, calling out her husband's name in the crowded crowd.

A scorching wave of air suddenly rose in front, and a thick cloud of black smoke evaporated!

Accompanied by a burst of heart-piercing exclamations, Long Yunxin heard the scream of spar bombs tearing the air-that was the last sound she heard in this game.

"what!"

Long Yunxin was awakened from the game suddenly, and he did not know when he broke away from the mentality of the bystander and fell completely into it.

She seemed to have just escaped from a nightmare, breathing for nearly a minute before her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

However, after filtering the details of this ordinary person's life one by one, her breathing became rapid again.

Because she discovered that this happened to be the story from suppression to massacre when she played the second game?

"That's how it is, everything that I have experienced as an ordinary person was created by myself just now!"

Long Yun's heart faintly figured out the true meaning of the game "Civilization".

She doesn't like simulation management and strategy battles, but she is not disgusted with role-playing.

Next, she played more than a dozen different roles in the Panlong civilization, but they have one common feature, all of them are small people who follow the trend, ordinary people.

Among them is the chairman of the trade union who is desperately trying to fight for more rights and interests for the members.

There are also ordinary soldiers in the army who participated in the suppression and massacre.

There were also miners who went to the resource planets near the sea of ​​stars to mine, and finally died in the depths of the veins due to an accident, with no bones left.

And the closest relatives of these miners who died.

The more he comes into contact with the bottom of the Panlong civilization, the corners of all aspects, Long Yunxin's mentality becomes more tangled and complicated.

"The resources on a planet are limited. If you want civilization to survive and continue, you must jump out of the planet!"

"However, jumping out of the planet is not easy, it is very possible to waste decades of time, consume astronomical resources, stage scenes of tragedies in countless families, but in the end it is still nothing!"

"If a civilization wants to develop, it doesn't even talk about development. Just surviving in the sea of ​​stars is too difficult, too difficult, too difficult!"

Long Yun was full of emotion.

She originally wanted to choose more civilizations and try the life of ordinary people in the medicine fork world, the Wuying world and even the sand barbarian world.

However, a line of glittering small characters appeared at the bottom of the main interface, which attracted her attention.

It seems that during the game just now, she met some specific trigger conditions and opened a brand new module of the game.

This module is an expansion piece of the "Civilization" game called "The Rise of an Empire".

On top of these five big characters made of steel and faintly exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke, there is also a black blitzkrieg flag that shields the sky from the sun, and under the battle flag is a black silhouette of a top helmet and brazier.

In recent years, some rumors about the real human empire have spread in the streets and alleys of the Three Realms, including the rise of the Black Star Emperor. There are dozens of versions of the story flying all over the sky.

Long Yunxin immediately guessed that this expansion should be about the history of Wu Yingqi's rise to the Xinghai Republic step by step, stealing the highest power, and finally ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor, establishing a true human empire.

Sure enough, the introduction of the expansion said that "The Rise of an Empire" is a brand new world derived from the huge database and computing power of "Civilization". The main map is concentrated in the most prosperous Xinghai Republic in the human world.

Players can freely choose the role they play, either as a member of the Parliament of Xinghai Republic, or as the lord of a major sect with a long history, or as a general in the central army guarding the capital, or as an indigenous leader in a semi-independent border world...with different identities , To accelerate, delay, support or prevent the emergence of real human empires.

Of course, if you want, you can also directly play Wu Yingqi himself, and experience the road to the rise of black from the perspective of "Black Star Emperor".

However, most of the functional modules are still being improved, and all the above identities have not yet been realized. There are only a few roles that testers can play.

Long Yunxin chose one randomly from a list of ordinary names, and the light and shadow flashed in front of him, as if he had appeared in a whole new world.

A large amount of information flowed continuously into the depths of her brain.

She is an ordinary citizen of Xinghai Republic, and her husband is a senior expert on mine tunnel structure.

Ten years ago, she followed her husband to this small resource planet and settled down. She worked in an elementary school attached to the mining area. She also gave birth to one child, one daughter and two lovely babies. Life was warm and peaceful, as if It’s good forever.

The war shattered their peaceful life, the resource planet was occupied by menacing enemies, and their own command headquarters originally set up here hurriedly evacuated, but they were all civilians here.

They did not give up resistance, and many young and middle-aged soldiers and civilians went into the depths of the intricate mines and persisted in fighting, defending the dignity of Xinghai Republic in vain.

Although her husband did not directly join the underground resistance forces, he used his expertise to help the resistance forces and risked his life to use their home as a secret meeting place for the resistance forces.

The game has invested a lot of computing power and rendering special effects in this unknown little character story, creating a world that is indistinguishable from the real and the fake, giving Long Yunxin a sense of illusion and truth.

She seemed to "see" holding her daughter, holding her son, and pretending to take a walk in front of the house, but she was helping members of the resistance organization at home watch the wind.

She can even clearly feel her feelings of tension, worry, anger, and hatred mixed together, which cannot be described with pen and ink.

"Will the enemy discover the existence of the resistance organization? If it is discovered, how will they retaliate against us?"

"Will our army return?"

"I don't care about it myself, but can my son and daughter return to the embrace of the motherland and grow up safely and healthily?"

Long Yunxin completely substituted himself into the game character, thinking anxiously.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the earth tremble slightly, and then she smelled a strong burnt smell. Hundreds of faint blue electric arcs sprang up on the horizon, as if ten thousand were filled. The thunder volcano erupted at the same time!

She saw countless enemy starships taking off in a hurry, and was overtaken, torn and shattered by the arc before breaking through the shackles of the gravitational circle!

But before she had time to applaud, the thunder and lightning turned into a huge wave that swept across the entire planet without discrimination, swallowing all enemies, resistance fighters, and all civilians including her and her two children!

Long Yunxin struggled out of the game again.

The whole body was as cold as a dead person, only the teeth collided fiercely, making a "click" sound.

She knew who she was playing.

It was one of the eight million civilians "sacrificed" by the Black Star Emperor in the "Battle of Karan".
