The threat of aliens has accelerated Blue Mercury's military science and technology research, and the financial allocation is also very fast, and even because some key technical problems must be solved by Tianming himself, he has to spare two to three days a week to go to the Ministry of Science and Education.

In addition to occasionally dealing with some government affairs and accompanying his wife and children to play around, most of the time, Tianming continues to study his sand table world.

……

Sand Table World No. 3.

Area: 80 sq km

Genre: Battle game

In the No. 3 sandbox world, there is a game world similar to "League Heroes", which can be used for 5v5 game battles.

Of course, the sand table world still abides by the laws of reality after all, even if there are any characters in it, Galen, the goddess of war, Mondo, Sparta and other characters, but when fighting, they are basically hard to PK, and they can't release any dazzling skills, so much like a muscular man hand-to-hand combat.

This sandbox game is a failure, and a few little guys don't like it very much after playing it a few times.

Tianming has improved this world a bit and created a new mecha battle game, which is also a 5v5 mode, and the gameplay is similar to "League Heroes...... It's just that the characters have become mechas.

The game, called Mecha World, is so popular that they play a few games almost every day when they come home from school.

It's just that this kind of sand table game, although the objects controlled are real, the destructive strike effects seen are all real and very cool.

But sandplay still has a huge weakness...... Players cannot attend in person.

Presumably, although the scenes inside are virtual, the player's experience is real, and it feels similar to that in reality, so many people love to play virtual games.

At present, there are more than 20 popular virtual online games in Red Giant and Blue Mercury, among which the most players are "Ice and Fire Continent", "Immortal Continent 2", "Glory Continent 2", "Ace Machine Battle", "Gunfight World" and so on. Each one has millions of players.

This has a magical phenomenon, in order to maintain the smooth network with the earth, on the side of Wuyang City on the earth, there is an optical fiber connected to the red giant, to ensure that the network between the two planets is smooth at the same time, in the red giant running more than a dozen virtual online games, the earth can also play.

But because the ratio of time flow is not the same, one day has passed on the Earth's side, and three days have passed on the Red Giant's side.

Take a game as an example, if the server is in Red Giant. The game helmet is on Earth, so will players have a feeling of "time travel" in the process of playing the game?

Will players experience the magical experience of 8 hours outside and a day in the game?

Indeed, there is this experience, players on the other side of the earth, after entering the game, the speed of brain processing information will be instantly three times faster! Some players can't get used to this feeling of time being too fast to play the game on the Red Giant side.

But some of the brains are faster and have slowly adapted to the feeling that time has been turned up. Ability to play virtual online games from another universe...... The proportion of these players is about 50%.

This gives Red Giant's native players an advantage to those who land in from Earth and can play the game non-stop for a day. Local players don't have this ability, and they have to take a break after playing for six or seven hours.

Because of this advantage, Earth players have reached the level of advanced players in various virtual online games. With all kinds of advantages, local players can't suppress it!

even suppressed the hatred, forcing those earth players to be online for 48 hours. Desperately leveling up, it is easy to counterattack in the end.

The reason is simple, Earth players are online for 48 hours in a row, which is equivalent to 16 hours without eating or drinking.

If local players have been online for such a long time, they can't stop drinking for 48 hours, and it's no wonder that people don't go hungry and die half-dead.

Therefore, for those earth players, local players call them "open dogs".

……

Although they are not yet adults, Chong Chong Chengcheng and they all play virtual online games, and one of the virtual online games that Chong Chong likes to play is "Ace Machine War", an online game of the mecha war type.

After playing a few games of the "Mecha War" game in the sand table world, Chong Chong said to Tianming: "Uncle, since the mecha in the sand table world are all real, why can't we directly enter the pilot mecha battle, so that it is more enjoyable to play than a virtual game, right?" ”

Tianming hurriedly shook his head, "This can be okay, but it's too dangerous!" After all, the game is just a game, and it doesn't matter if you die in it, if someone really dares to play like this in reality, it is dead, and if you die, you don't even have a chance to be resurrected......"

"You don't want to play this kind of death game, do you?" Tianming stared at Chong Chongdao.

"No, no, of course not!" Chong Chong hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle, my idea is, isn't it very good to link our consciousness to the game of the sand table world, similar to a virtual game, to control the real equipment in the sand table world, and then operate these equipment for combat and training?" ”

As soon as Chong Chong said this, Tianming's eyes immediately lit up.

The sand table world can be used as a kind of combat test equipment.

No matter how realistic the virtual world is, it can't compare to the real world, and it is better to fight 100 wars in the virtual world than to fight once in reality.

However, in reality, the problem is that the environment is easily damaged, and the cost of carrying out the implementation is relatively high, which is not very cost-effective.

You don't have to worry about so many problems in the sand table world, this is a miniature world, and the area in the room is only 8 square meters, and it doesn't matter if it collapses inside.

"You can give it a try."

……

Tianming found Yang Haobo, a military general, a professional soldier in his forties.

In addition to the four major fleets in space, the empire's army does not have many troops on land, and after two reductions, the Blue Star people only have 3 divisions of 60,000 people, and the earthlings have only one division of less than 20,000 people.

"General Yang, how many Storm III and Lightning II mechs are there in the First Division of the Royal Army?"

"Well, there are 500 Storm III. and 600 Lightning II, a total of 1,100 mechs."

The First Division of the Imperial Royal Army is the only army unit in the Tianming Empire, an all-mecha equipment division, except for more than a thousand mechas, there are only five hundred heavy tanks and some auxiliary equipment left.

As for the function of this army division, in addition to guarding the security of the future city of the capital, the rest is used for the military parade on the road on the National Day every year.

"From the arsenal, get me 20 Tempest III and 30 Lightning II, I'll be useful."

Yang Haobo was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want these mecha for?" ”

"You just have someone bring the mecha over, why are you asking so much?"

"Yes, yes."

After a while, the soldiers drove the mech over and stopped at a training ground.

After putting all the mecha into the ability space, thinking that he didn't know how to drive these mechas, he picked out ten soldiers with good driving skills and asked them to follow him to the Golden Palace.

……

"What is Emperor Ming trying to do?"

After coming to the noble and gorgeous Golden Palace, Second Lieutenant Zhang Wei and the second monk were puzzled.

He has been in the army for three years, and he has a different yearning and love for the army, and after passing the recruitment assessment, he trained for more than a year, and finally became a qualified mecha soldier.

However, because it is the Royal Army, and Blue Mercury does not have the existence of hostile forces, in addition to training, the biggest task is to defend the capital.

But after two years of such days, he regretted it very much.

It's so boring!

Train, eat, rest...... Almost every day, it is three o'clock and one line, except for the National Day when I have to participate in rehearsals and complete a good-looking military parade...... There are hardly any tasks.

At this time, he was a little envious of the crews who served on the starships, "Although they don't have a mission, they can patrol the boundless space every day......

"Well, when will such a boring day be a head?"

The Imperial Army practiced a career non-commissioned officer system, and once enlisted, the service period must be completed for 30 years before they can be discharged...... What kind of torment is this for Zhang Wei and other army soldiers?

It's just that I don't know why His Majesty brought them to the Golden Palace on a whim?

……

After resting for two days, on the third day, Zhang Wei and nine comrades-in-arms were taken to a room in a building.

The room is very large, with an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and it is very empty.

There were a few pieces of equipment in it, and twenty things that looked like virtual cockpits...... Not far from the cockpit of the game, there are more than a dozen machines that look like people...... That's supposed to be a machine.

An expert explained to Zhang Wei and others: "These 20 virtual cockpits are control cabins, and you will have to lie down in them later......

The expert walked up to the ten machine people standing in a row and said, "These machine people are all simulator people, the structure of the body is very similar to that of humans, and the flexibility and strength are also similar to those of humans...... They are controlled by those virtual cockpits. ”

The expert walked to the center of the room, pointed to a sand table device, and said, "This is a sand table world...... Wait a minute, your majesty will put ten mecha and ten simulators into the sand table world, and then you can control the way of the simulator qì people, operate the ten mechas, and team up to fight in the sand table world......"

"Don't worry, your lives will not be in danger, we are just using this method to test the equipment performance of the storm mecha and the lightning mecha, the actual combat performance."

Zhang Wei They didn't seem to understand, but they still obeyed the order, entered the virtual cockpit, and after five minutes to familiarize themselves with the control of the simulator and become proficient, His Majesty Ming Emperor threw all ten machines into the sand table.

"Alright, you guys find your mechs and start fighting."

Tianming clasped his hands and stared at the huge screen on the wall of the room, looking lively.
