40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao was about to continue questioning, but the shuttle dropped slowly. Ling Xiaole looked back and smiled: "We are at the center of the world's largest "Civilization" in the sky ring!"

Looking from the distance, the whole world in front is occupied by a large shiny silver ball. The surface of the silver ball is divided into hundreds of light screens, which is playing a courageous and **** picture-that is Thousands of starships are fighting and fighting, burning and exploding, fleeing and chasing between the blood-stained galaxy.

The aggressive sound and light effects cover dozens of miles in a radius. They have not yet entered the center, as if they were immersed in the burning universe first. The big silver ball has almost turned into a small black hole. Li Yao and others, swallow them all!

On the upper right corner of each huge light curtain, there is a small logo, some resemble the "Samsung Blitz Flag" of the real human empire, but it is more hideous and terrifying than the empire's flag, with murderous and destroying everything. taste.

Ling Xiaole told Li Yao that they came by coincidence. The latest version of the "Civilization" war expansion pack "The Empire Strikes Back" will be released at the same time in the Seven Worlds today. There is also a huge live conference to be held here, even from all directions. A crowd of game masters came from the core world, and tourists from nearby resource planets and planetary surfaces also heard the wind. It was an unprecedented festival.

Sure enough, Li Yao saw that the density of shuttles here is more than five times higher than that in the downtown area. Congestion is very rare. There are also a large number of teenagers wearing colorful "flying fins" shuttle dexterously among the traffic. , Both in the air and on the ground, there are lights and festoons, big horns engraved with anti-gravity amulets and sound-transmitting amulets are spinning around the world, and countless **** and energetic sounds are mixed together, simply It's even more turbulent than the fight in the light curtain!

Li Yao knows "The Empire Strikes Back", which is a war expansion that they have conceived a hundred years ago. It mainly focuses on the military aspect and how to fight against the invasion of the empire, especially the content of starship operations.

According to Ling Xiaole’s introduction, after a hundred years of rapid development, countless iterations and data updates, especially in the battle to save the Firefly ten years ago, a large number of imperial soldiers and even imperial warships were captured, and more accurate data support was obtained. After that, the brand new "The Empire Strikes Back" has developed into an extremely professional war simulation game. Under 100% realism, it is not a "game" at all, but a wargame deduction system that can be directly used by the military.

Today, "Civilization" has derived as many as tens of thousands of different expansions and mission packs, ranging from "Simulation Farm", "Simulation City", "Transport Ship Commander", etc. to the smallest details, as large as "Challenge for Speaker" ", "A Thousand Years in the Future" and the likes of a high-pitched chess game that spans thousands of years, there are everything that can satisfy all the interests of any player.

However, war has always been the first element of the development of civilization, and the military-focused "Empire Strikes Back" has become the most popular one among all expansions.

I heard that this time the federal government has declassified a large number of Imperial Claw fleet data captured ten years ago. In the latest version, more than a dozen 100% realistic Imperial starships and crystal armors have been updated, which can be freely manipulated by players. It is considered in recent years. A more critical version upgrade, no wonder it will become a carnival festival!

"Really..."

Li Yao, Hei Yelan, and Ling Xiaole got off the shuttle car and looked at the crowds of flowers and demons dancing in front of them. Whether he came from the old man of the Three Realms of the "Old Federation" or the elite female fighters from the real human empire, they all gave birth to dazzling, I don't know. Feeling overwhelmed.

They know very well that the "heaven and earth" they are in is only the "1st floor" of the ring world. Above the sky above their heads and below the ground they step on, they are all the same scene, a frenetic ocean!

"The Secret Sword Bureau has arranged a special passage for the two distinguished guests, and there are thousands of secret sword envoys around to ensure safety. Don't worry about them."

Ling Xiaole smiled and said with a familiar appearance.

"I'm not worried about safety."

Li Yao took a breath and murmured, "I just didn't expect that so many people would come here to play...a game."

"In fact, most of the Federation people have immersive game pods in their homes, often more than one. Oh, in the Federation, we no longer use the term'game pods'. Everyone calls them'future pods.' Furniture as popular as the previous "bed"."

Ling Xiaole said, "Although you can play at home, many people still like to gather in the'game centers' in various cities and communities. How can I say, this is a social need, after all, people are still social animals. Well! For the new generation of federal people, the game center is like the concept of "civil square" and "banquet hall" long ago, and it is the most important social occasion.

"In large and small game centers, not only do you have a more powerful master control crystal brain, the latest model of the "future cabin", you can enjoy a better gaming experience and faster connection to the network, and there are often Masters hold meetings and signing meetings. The masters of "Civilization" this year are like a mixture of stars and heroes a long time ago. They are very popular!"

Li Yao thought for a while: "I can understand stars, but where do you start with the word'hero'?"

"It's very simple. Every wise decision made by these masters in the virtual world may be applied to reality. Many brand-new tactics and operational concepts were first created in the virtual world, which ultimately saved hundreds of millions of dollars. The funds for the project have saved the lives of thousands of people."

Ling Xiaole said, "Don't those who contributed to these decisions have the right to be called a'hero'?"

"Yes."

Intellectually, Li Yao knew that Ling Xiaole was right, but the strong visual impact in front of him still made him emotionally unacceptable. He suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, if the public has been immersed in "Civilization". In the world, are there fewer people who work hard to cultivate?"

"How could it be? Stirring brain power and colliding wisdom in "Civilization" is also a kind of cultivation, and it is the highest level of cultivation!"

Ling Xiaole laughed again, "As early as more than a hundred years ago in the old federation era, our fathers had the technology to use the illusion to exercise spiritual root development and increase the strength of the brain. There should be a corresponding technology on the Firefly. Technology, right? "Civilization", a unified platform, will only increase the development of ordinary people's brains faster and faster, and the chances of awakening spiritual roots are getting higher and higher!

"According to expert statistics, since "Civilization" became popular, the chances of the Federation people awakening spiritual roots have increased more than five times compared with a hundred years ago. Of course, there are various factors of the "strengthening plan", but "Civilization" The contribution is also obvious.

"According to the analysis of many brain doctors, meditation masters, and spiritual wave experts, this is a principle similar to...resonance, because the process of immersing in "Civilization" is a process of integrating one's own brain waves into the spiritual net, and other people's brains. The process of electric waves colliding and shaking each other, when there are tens of billions of people, everyone's brain waves are blended together, and resonance occurs, it is the best practice!

"This kind of cultivation method was not enjoyed by Yuan Ying bosses a hundred years ago. Think about it, no matter how powerful Yuan Ying is, it is impossible to use the brainwaves of tens of billions of people to cultivate, right?

"Cultivation gives birth to new technologies, and new technologies change the old practice and even survival mode. This is the era of the surging and surging spirit web that we live in!

"There are indeed many people like you who have put forward a lot of views on "Civilization" and raised a lot of worries. There are even many diehards who completely deny the obvious benefits of "Civilization" and believe that humans should not allow themselves to be completely integrated into the illusory. In Lingwang, it is said that this technology will eventually drag the Star Federation and even the entire human civilization into destruction. The most extreme people regard "Civilization" as a more terrifying hidden danger than the empire and the Holy League!

"However, no matter how they deny and prevent it, "Civilization" has developed uncontrollably. The Lingwang era has come, and no one can stop it. Whether we want it or not, we can't go back to the era without the Internet. "

Li Yao smiled and said: "You seem to be a firm supporter of the'Lingwang Great Era'."

"Of course, there is no "Civilization", there is no unified spirit net, and there is no new federation today!"

Ling Xiaole squeezed his eyes at Li Yao and said with a smile, "Go, didn't you say you want to experience the daily life of ordinary federal people, let you experience the most important ceremony before ordinary federal people play "Civilization"! "

Ling Xiaole bounced around and led Li Yao into the bustling crowd.

Li Yao’s tour route was arranged in advance and was not a temporary intention. Therefore, there were already many secret sword bureau agents in the crowd to protect their safety. They had already arranged an unobstructed passage for them so that they could pass through all the way smoothly. Arrived unimpeded...In front of the center of "Civilization", a magnificent bronze statue with a height of five or six meters.

The statue is a man wearing a portable Xuanguang helmet, concentrating on the game, while the colorful and varied Xuanguang next to him outlines a bustling city, a **** war, a large-scale fleet... dozens of different scenes. .

It is not uncommon to have a statue of a pestle here. What is surprising is that there are countless people around the statue, their hands folded, their expressions solemn, and they are chanting, they are actually worshipping!

It's really weird!

Li Yao knows that the Federation is an atheist country, and the cultivators go crazy, but gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and destroy Buddhas. Under the background of mass cultivation of the whole people, who would be foolish to believe in gods and Buddhas?

This guy who is playing the game, who is the God of Mao, can make so many people worship, and look at their meticulous expressions, they are all quite pious!

"Could it be that some cult has arisen in the Federation, this guy is the demon of the cult that deceives people's hearts?"

Li Yao secretly said that wherever he went, something would happen, and it seems that this time is no exception!

"Would you like to pay respects, it's very clever!"

Ling Xiaole faced the statue, folded his hands together, muttered something, then turned his head and said cheerfully, "This is the creator of "Civilization", and in the eyes of many in-depth players of "Civilization", including me, the new federation is in the true sense. "Father of the Nation"——Li Yao!"
