Global Monopoly of Technology

【Building a new host】

【Waiting for players to join】

Han Cheng saw [Player: 3/25] through the information on the panel. The newly established host needs a minimum of 25 people to open it, and it is also possible to open the mode where new players can be added in the middle, and the upper limit can be 1000 players.

After the game starts, the timeline will not stop until all players quit. Players who join in the middle will suffer because other players have been developing for a while, but this is also a game mode.

Players who quit halfway can enter the game again as long as the game is not completely over and closed.

[Is about to enter the world of catastrophe in the sky... Three, two, one]

With the end of the system's countdown voice, the scene of void space appeared in another scene when a dazzling gaze forced Han Cheng to close his eyes subconsciously, and then opened his eyes again.

When entering the game world, there will be an independent timeline, and players will feel that the time flow in the game world is significantly slower than that in the real world, and different game time flow rates are also different.

This is actually a deceptive behavior of the virtual brain machine on the brain nerves. People who enter the virtual world will deceive their vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch and perception, just like a dream, and the feeling of being in a dream has spent a long time. It was only noon after waking up, but the dream of the virtual world was more real and not easy to forget.

Han Cheng entered the game world and clicked on the panel information to see his character attributes. The character he was playing was an ordinary citizen, and he was a depressed single dog.

"No way, Arthur, you will be targeted for playing a game?" Han Cheng complained when he saw the identity of the character he played.

At this time, the sound of the system sounded in his mind. Han Cheng knew the sound of the system, and the NPCs in the game would not notice it.

[The super solar storm will hit three hours later, X-rays and high-energy particle streams will take the lead in paralyzing satellites in orbit, disrupting the ionosphere, and short-wave communications will be completely interrupted...]

[Mission goal: to survive in the chaotic and disordered world after the catastrophe in the sky]

...

At the same time, the Science and Technology Complex Building.

Luo Sheng also has a virtual brain computer in his basement laboratory. He also entered the virtual world and came to the game world of "Sky Cataclysm". He happened to enter the server host where Han Cheng was, and came to his game world. .

However, Luo Sheng didn't come to play games in a hurry. He came to OB. Simply put, he is now an observer and an administrator with the highest authority in the entire virtual world.

The strongest authority Wang.

Entering Han Cheng's game world will not interfere, and no player will be able to perceive his presence.

At this moment, Luo Sheng happened to follow Han Cheng and observe his every move, but Han Cheng didn't know all of this.

"Xiao Na, how many players of Cataclysm are online at the same time? How many foreigners are online?" Luo Sheng asked.

The virtual brain machine was just released today, and it was also the first day of the opening of the Internet Cafe under Xingyu Company.

There are only three games that can be played now. It is "Hundred Schools of Masters", "Three Kingdoms" and "Sky Cataclysm". Most people are experiencing virtual games.

After a while, Xiaona responded: "There are a total of 528 ongoing games in "The Cataclysm of the Sky", 357,525 players are in the game, 13,546 players are idle in the game lobby, and 45,463 players are matching, of which there are 45,463 players. 2,628 players are expats."

Virtual brain machines are currently being released in China, and in first-tier metropolises like Shencheng, foreigners can be seen everywhere.

The identity of a foreigner can be identified so quickly, of course, through the background identification of the Internet cafe's system. Foreigners need to show their documents to unlock the machine when they want to go online.

Obviously, the foreigners in the game are some foreigners in China.

Basically, they went to the nearest Internet cafe to experience it, and some of them were diverted to this game.

Luo Sheng used administrator privileges to call up the information of Han Cheng's game console. The console mode opened in this game allows you to join halfway, and immediately said: "Well, there are currently more than 300 players in the game, all of them Chinese... ...Xiao Na, let the foreigners who are matching match the rules of the game, all of them will be arranged."

Xiaona: "Okay, the plug-in is being activated."

In the virtual world, only Luo Sheng can do whatever he wants.

Han Cheng didn't know that while he was playing a game at the moment, he also became an experimental observation made by the boss.

Luo Sheng is now using his authority to do this experiment secretly, including the survival game "Sky Cataclysm", which was born for the real solar storm three years later.

Even the development team of this game does not know that there is such a secret mission. Only Luo Sheng and a very few people know that this survival game is not only a game, but also a simulation experiment field. A sneaky guide to surviving natural disasters.

The matter of the solar storm cannot be directly disclosed and popularized with precautionary knowledge, which will cause social unrest and panic.

Therefore, Luo Sheng and the response team of relevant departments chose virtual games to popularize the knowledge of natural disaster response, which not only achieved the goal, but also shielded the negative effects as much as possible.

Behind a player is often a family, a group of relatives, who can save many people.

At the same time, it is also possible to observe human community psychology and group behavior through virtual games, and what choices will they make when faced with natural disasters? There is rigorous scientific evidence to back it up.

It is equivalent to an advance rehearsal, which has great reference value.

From the official launch of "Sky Cataclysm", each game will be retained as a sample for statistical analysis through supercomputers. The purpose is of course to provide a reference for decision makers, so as to make changes when the real storm comes three years later. effective coping strategies.

At present, the number of active players in "Sky Cataclysm" has reached 400,000 to 500,000, while the current users of the entire virtual world are only about 1.5 million, and this game accounts for nearly one-third.

The main reason is that the game content is too small. At present, there are only three games that can be played, and the other two games have to be charged. Only "Sky Cataclysm" is a free game. This game was not developed for the purpose of making money, but the outside world does not. Just know.

As Xiaona used her super administrator privileges to secretly and temporarily modify the matching algorithm, Han Cheng's game quickly filled up. In a few minutes, more than 600 foreigners were matched into the game, and the number of people reached the upper limit of 1,000. .

"What the hell? Why are there so many foreigners here?" Han Cheng was suddenly confused. Seeing that the system prompts new players to enter the game, he opened the information panel and saw that the public chat room inside the game suddenly became lively.

All are written in English. Han Cheng can't understand English, but the system has a translation function, so communication is not a problem.

Hundreds of foreigners poured into this server, and the public chat channel suddenly became popular.

As for Luo Sheng, who is now like a god, he is watching the game's progress with great interest. With the arrival of the solar storm, the order collapsed, and the players and even the NPCs in the game have officially opened their way of survival.

After a period of time, the contradiction gradually aroused.

Public chat channel: "It's really fucked up. The foreigner who is raised by Gou Liang is too insidious. The labor and management kindly distributed his supplies and he killed him. Wait for the labor and management, and the labor and management will not kill you when they come back, Ma De."

[Player 'Passenger 5' has died]

The rhythm of the player exploded with rage, and then rejoined the game decisively. At present, this game has opened a mode that can be joined in the middle, just in time to come back for revenge.

After the player hangs up in the game, they can respawn without actively ending the game, but after respawning, playing the game again as a new player will randomly spawn and restart quickly.

The game macro mechanism of "Sky Cataclysm" is that resources will be continuously consumed. If the order is not restored and production is reorganized, resources will become less and less as time goes by, and NPCs will also consume resources, especially precious consumables, resulting in The impact will enter the involution trend.

But players can change that trend.

With the passage of time, the game has gradually opened the "dark forest mode". Foreign players follow the doomsday survival rules, plunder naturally in the game, and at the same time release the desire to kill, and the game gradually begins to differentiate.

Public chat channel: "These foreigners on horses are out of control. They burn, kill, loot and abuse, even NPCs. These despicable foreigners, brothers first form an alliance to kill these bastards."

Public chat channel: "Agree! Form an alliance first! Clear out the foreign troubles before deciding who is the eldest brother!"

Public chat channel: "It's a private channel for players from China. First confirm your identity. You need voice verification to confirm your identity. Text answers are invalid. Foreigners will search through cloud songs. As long as it is a Chinese question, it can be answered in seconds, if it exceeds the time, it will be judged as a foreigner and a traitor.

Luo Sheng, who was observing from God's perspective, was also very interested to see the situation in the game evolve here.

interesting.

At this point in the game, foreign players do not trust each other, they firmly believe in the law of doomsday survival, and human nature is the most untrustworthy, while Chinese players are the opposite and begin to form an alliance.

Because Luo Sheng secretly interfered with the matching algorithm, he specially let foreign players have a large number of players, which increased the difficulty of the game for domestic players.

Soon, domestic players established the "Red Army" and began to form a group.

Han Cheng also opened the public information panel and entered the 1131 private channel.

Receptionist: "The new one, the one with the ID Xiaoyangjun, is from China? Listen to the voice."

Han Cheng: "What the hell, a domestic product with eight classic roots and a red seedling."

Receptionist: "I hear your accent is from Sichuan and Shu? Then you have to follow the rules. Now there are a lot of foreigners who are learning Chinese. Check the number. If you can't answer within three seconds, you will immediately kick... Heavenly King Gai Dihu!"

Han Cheng replied in seconds: "Pagoda Town River Demon!"

Receptionist: "This is not a traitor, but one of my own. Let me explain one thing first. When you join the Red Army, all the materials on your body will be confiscated. If there is no resource group to allocate, the restrictions will be difficult times, and the collected resources must also be turned over. Then you have to obey the organization and not fight alone."

Han Cheng: "No questions."

Receptionist: "Where is your current location? Send me your coordinates privately, and someone will be sent over to pick you up at the base headquarters immediately."

Han Cheng: "Send it."

Receptionist: "Where are you staying first, temporarily answer the password, ask Lu Xun, and answer Zhou Shuren."

Han Cheng: "Ouki got the grams and calcium!"

It is worth mentioning that the birthplace of each player is random, and it is difficult to be discovered by other players without actively revealing it.

However, the macro mechanism of the game gradually increases the probability of collision between players in the way of continuous consumption of resources as the game duration increases.

Luo Sheng, who was observing secretly, was not less interested. He suddenly became more and more confident in the country of China. He could see the big from the small and see the leopard from the inside. The natural disaster was really coming. He believed that under such an environment, the Chinese people were absolutely among all human beings. It is the most competitive and survivable one.
