Interstellar Energy Tycoon

The brutal interstellar war is about to begin.

Zhang Xiangfeng, who only had 20 Tier 1 warships in hand, was faced with a problem: With this strength, could he withstand the incoming invasion fleet?

Obviously it is unstoppable. Since the opponent dares to fight, he will definitely not send only a little force.

Fortunately, he still has three days of buffer time.

He can continue to build tier 1 battleships frantically. After three days, the number of tier 1 battleships can increase to about 200, with an average of more than 50 ships built every day.

But Zhang Xiangfeng felt that it was still not safe. What if the opponent's fleet had a large number of tier 3, 4 or even tier 5 warships?

Only relying on Tier 1 battleships, how can they stop those giant battleships with explosive combat power?

I also thought about the consequences of losing the battle, that is, losing everything I have managed in the past two months. I have recharged more than 5,000 in total, and once I lose the battle, it will all belong to others.

purchase!

I can only recharge 2,000 yuan, and bought 20 level 5 warships in the war mall.

"It should be very safe now, right?"

Zhang Xiangfeng murmured in an uncertain tone, and asked the smart assistant Madara: "Blade, do you think twenty level 5 warships are enough? Do you want to charge more money?"

"That depends on how much this account is worth in your eyes? It depends on how much you are willing to pay to protect your energy empire? And if you recharged two thousand yuan, does it mean that this account is only worth two thousand?"

Madara asked him back, the words were very realistic.

"Of course it's more than that. My account, the game achievements I have made now, even if others spend 10,000 yuan, I will not sell them!"

Zhang Xiangfeng said quickly.

"Then I won't say more, you should know how to balance." After Madara finished speaking, she fell silent.

This put Zhang Xiangfeng into a dilemma.

Of course he understands what Madara means. Since he thinks this account is worth 10,000 yuan, he'd better invest no less than 10,000 yuan to build a defense system, because in the eyes of invading opponents, since the value of the attack target is 10,000 yuan About, then invest 10,000 yuan! To build a powerful interstellar fleet, as long as the occupation is successful, there will be no loss. If the invasion fails, the cost of building an expeditionary fleet will be in vain.

Therefore, there are generally two strategies for the invasion: either send a small fleet to test; or bet heavily and strive to win!

"Family, do you think I should buy more Tier 5 warships? Do you think it's safe enough?"

Zhang Xiangfeng had no choice but to ask the audience in the live broadcast room for their opinions.

There were comments from the audience in the barrage soon:

"I don't think it's safe. If I were an invader, I might spend 3,000 yuan to buy 30 Tier 5 warships, and I would be able to destroy you and get an energy empire worth tens of thousands. I also made a few bucks." thousand."

"Don't pick on the anchor, just throw another 10,000 in, and don't regret it then."

"That's right, I'm also playing this game, and I'm almost crushing the energy giants. I've recharged more than 8,000 yuan. Fortunately, the online mode is only for players who have already cleared the level. I'm a little shivering now, and I don't dare to clear the level so quickly. "

"Indeed, if you lose, you lose everything. This model is a bit cruel."

"Forget it, anchor, just take care of your wallet. After three days, I'm looking forward to whether you will show a broken expression."

"Haha, I am also looking forward to it. I don't know whether it is a tentative attack or a large-scale invasion. Anyway, our anchor is suspended."

"One thing to say, I have been playing this game for more than a month. The more I play, the more I feel that the energy development model in the game is very likely to be applied to reality. As long as there is a company that can integrate light energy harvesting converters, Light sail reflectors, energy relay satellites, these three things can be manufactured to collect a large amount of high-density light energy, which can be used for interstellar mining, used to occupy the electricity market, and bring different energy application models. It even entered the era of great voyages in the universe.”

"I asked in Wenxin Qianwen that the energy density of sunlight in the space environment near our blue star is 1360 watts/square meter, but at a place 10 million kilometers away from the sun, the luminous energy density is nearly 4600 kilowatts/square meter. 3375 times that near the Azure Star, such a high-density light energy, even if only 1% can be utilized in the end, it is very impressive, and then use the main energy road for long-distance transmission, embracing infinite energy is not a dream.”

"That's right, Azure Star only accepts 1/6 billion of the total amount of light energy radiated by the sun. If we adopt the light energy utilization mode in the game, the utilization rate of sunlight can be increased to 1/1,000,000. , that is also equivalent to the sum of the light energy received by 6,000 blue stars, which is terrifying and has great potential!"

"If, I mean if! Our scientists can develop highly reflective materials, more efficient light-absorbing materials, and then manufacture high-specific impulse ion engines. As long as these three core technologies are resolved, energy in space The empire can be established, but I don't know if the breakthrough of these three technologies is difficult?"

"It's not difficult! In terms of photovoltaic materials, I heard that some research institutions can produce photovoltaic panels with a light conversion rate of 37.5%; in terms of reflective materials, the most common glass at home can also reach 88%. More than 99%, I think it is not difficult, as for the high-specific impulse ion engine, the principle is not too complicated, as long as the thrust-to-weight ratio can be more than 10, an energy empire in space can be established.”

"No matter how difficult these three technologies are, can they surpass high-performance chips, controllable nuclear fusion, and high-thrust aeroengines? I think the challenge should be lower, and even using our existing technical reserves, can't we create Create such a space energy system? How do you know if you don’t try it? Anyway, at the principle level, it’s not impossible!”

"Yeah, it's a pity that I don't have the funds, otherwise I really want to spend tens of billions to try it out. The creativity in this game is indeed too reasonable. If we have the level of technological development, we can easily develop three core devices. , Maybe someone will try to monopolize the sun soon.”

"I think with our current technological capabilities, we may be able to handle all three core equipment in five to ten years at the most. At that time, we will crowdfund a 'Monopoly Sun Project', and each person will contribute tens of thousands of yuan. If people carry out this plan, doesn’t the sun belong to us?”

"We krypton gold players, don't we charge thousands of dollars in this game? If the boss who developed this game goes to build a real energy empire, our recharge behavior will not Did you make a wedding dress for him?"

"Fuck! It seems to be the case. It turns out that what we are playing is not a game, but a crowdfunding plan. But after Sun is monopolized by the game boss, will it give us players shares?"

"Divide a chicken feather, why should you share it with us? Isn't it good to monopolize the sun by yourself? Which onion are we players?"

"No, absolutely not! You must share some shares with us, and you must give me one hundred millionth of the sun, otherwise I will not deposit money into this game, and I will prostitute this game for nothing!"

The audience and the players chatted and chatted, not knowing where the crooked building went.

In fact, similar discussions take place in many places.

Someone also built a game forum for "Energy Tycoon", which not only contains various game strategies, messy guesses, discussions about technical feasibility, and even some conspiracy theories, it can be described as a miasma, and there are blind monks every day Claiming to have discovered Huadian, which attracted a large number of players to participate in the discussion.

There are a few high-quality hot posts with 100,000+ hits. Li Xingyang read it himself, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

But there is no way.

This is the attractiveness of a game with tens of millions of active players, and it is normal for it to cause phenomenal discussions, or occasionally to be popular on the Internet.

...

three days later.

Zhang Xiangfeng started the game live broadcast as usual, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

inside the game map.

The edge of the Oort cloud.

He arranged a hundred tier 5 battleships into a three-tiered 'snake array' to maximize firepower.

There are also two hundred self-built Tier 1 battleships scattered around the two wings to deal with side raids by enemies who may have an advantage in strength.

At this moment, the direction of the high-energy beam of light is very clear, and a huge black shadow is approaching at a slower speed, and it will arrive soon.

"I listened to people's persuasion to eat enough. I followed the advice of my family members, poured 10,000 yuan into the game, and bought a hundred level 5 warships. I should be able to win this battle against player invasion, right? "

Zhang Xiangfeng secretly said.

At this time, the game pops up a prompt: The invasion fleet led by the player "Despicable Six" has arrived, the full-scale war mode is on, please protect your homeland!

Zhang Xiangfeng was shocked, coming, finally coming!

The giant transport carrier on the opposite side stopped, and the hatch on the side opened, and battleships flew out one by one, lined up, and appeared in front of him.

Level 5 main battleships, about 200 ships, are arranged in four layers and four rows, each row has fifty ships.

There are 5,000 Tier 1 battleships densely packed all over the surrounding area.

The entire battle formation can be described as overwhelming, and the black clouds are about to be destroyed.

Zhang Xiangfeng was dumbfounded, and immediately shouted on the public channel: "You despicable sixth son, you spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to come and beat me, you are crazy, is it necessary?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The despicable old Liu said: "I just want to experience the feeling of beating tens of millions of fans and anchors in the game. I just want to abuse you in front of hundreds of thousands of live broadcast viewers. Spending a little money is not a big deal at all."

"You bastard, you are crazy!"

Zhang Xiangfeng scolded his mother angrily, and hurried into the War Mall, intending to buy another 100 Tier 5 warships, but because he had already entered a state of war, the mall was temporarily closed, and he couldn't even buy it.

boom boom boom~

Lasers! Nukes are flying!

A tragic interstellar war broke out.

Zhang Xiangfeng, who was obviously at a disadvantage, tried his best to resist. The fifth-level warships were fired, and the first-level battleships were also fired. Later, a large number of energy relay satellites were pushed up, and the satellites launched laser attacks, but it had no effect. It can only block one level 1 or 2 warships.

After two hours of fierce fighting.

The word "defeat" floated up in the middle of the screen.

"Despicable old sixth! You wait, I will never end with you, I will definitely come back and kill you!"

Zhang Xiangfeng, whose mentality was broken, cursed and yelled for more than half an hour, and couldn't accept the ending of defeat and exile.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"

The despicable sixth child of the player laughed wildly, feeling refreshed. It also made the majority of players who played this game realize that the cruelty of the online mode may exceed their expectations. The business results will only become the wedding dress of rich players.
