His Excellency the Archon has been paying close attention to the whole process of the lawyer's conversation with the other party, and with the help of the most advanced analysis technology, he can even observe the Changxing speaking in real time, as well as the changes in heartbeat, respiratory rate, and brain waves when he speaks......

But this is still far from the information that His Excellency the Archon needs, too far and too far.

"Rubbish!" When he saw that the lawyer actually began to listen to Changxing's tirade, the archon knew that this waste obviously had no chance of success.

"What about the authorization of the EEG reader?" His Excellency Archon turned his head to the legal counsel and questioned, "Why haven't you got it yet?" He's the only clue now, the only one you know? Also, the authorization on the second side of the earth......"

"They refused, Your Excellency," the Advisor reminded the Archon, "the government of the Second Earth is a very weak government...... The arrest operations that we have cooperated with before are already the maximum range of their capabilities. The data of everyone in the game is protected. ”

"People? Who? Whose people? Are aliens also human? The consul didn't care about his image in the slightest, picked up the communicator in his hand, and hammered the table in front of him like a hammer, "Their laws are even aliens...... Is even just alien data protected? ”

"No, but from the perspective of game design, the data of those three aliens belongs to the background data of the game, and it is more difficult to modify the game data in the virtual world than to mine the mass on the earth, especially the setting of this basic world...... Referendums are often required. ”

"Then let them vote quickly!" The act of referendum on the full name, from the beginning of the war to the present, the consuls have pushed it no less than hundreds of times, anyway, it is a matter of making everyone make a choice question......

"Even if you push for a referendum...... The result won't be as we like," the political adviser's face was a little ugly, "and they're aliens, and in the virtual world, they're more ...... than us Much more popular. ”

Since the Federation entered modern civilization, how many works of art have been made through a variety of means, words, pictures, movies, music, games, ...... Almost all the possibilities of aliens, are depicted one over and over again.

Take the savior-type alien as an example, just the name that the political adviser can say in one breath is not a dozen or so ...... Now, all the enthusiasm for these works has converged on the new ones that have emerged, these analogue data bodies......

Even if they are not real aliens yet, they are just virtual personalities simulated based on alien memory data.

Why would the KPA be willing to help them? It's not optimistic about the peculiarities of their identities.

A long time ago, there was an archon who said when he was in office that if there were really aliens in the universe, he would not need to start a war, and he would directly come to the consul election to rule the federation.

"Your Excellency, it's time to consider Plan C," the Counsellor proposed again, "and we can't put our hopes in the Second Federation...... On the Second Earth, the Second Federation is nothing more than a mascot. ”

Although the names are all the same as in reality, they are called the Confederation, and the name of the consul, but in reality, the power gap is too great. The Archons of the Second Federation can't even investigate the specific state of a player, let alone direct other players to cooperate and take specific actions.

If it weren't for the Second Federation being such a waste, how could a simple arrest operation fail?

The alien named Wu Xiaoqing, the time and place of his memory can almost be determined, but in the end he still didn't catch anyone - it is said that it was because several policemen involved in the operation had something to do temporarily, and went on strike to play other games...... This reason sounds simply ridiculous......

At the end of the day, the essence of Second Earth is still a game, not reality. Even if the player lives there much longer than they have in the Federation. However, it is impossible for people to get serious in the game......

"Didn't you say before that the planning team of Plan C is a bunch of idiots who only know how to do addition?" The consul looked at the government advisor in surprise and said, "Moreover, several fleets are very short of manpower right now......

"It's really because of the lack of manpower that we urgently need to complete this mission, if we don't hurry up now, when the other party is not familiar with the environment, quickly take it down, and wait for them to begin to understand the world...... There's almost no chance we'll catch them! "For this reason, we can even stop some military operations on the front line......

"The front line is already tight!" The consul had just attended an operational meeting three hours earlier, at which he was desperately urged by a dozen fleet commanders to fulfill their promise to replenish them with enough manpower. However, judging from the current situation, instead of supplementing, it is necessary to draw a considerable part of the existing service personnel to carry out additional operations outside the military......

The Archons could almost imagine the faces of those commanders by now—definitely no better than their own expressions.

"At this time, the Zhiti has no plans to attack further, and the staff believes that he is still stockpiling the number of warships for the next attack...... We have at least twelve days left," the Chief of Staff reported, "if the operation is guaranteed to be completed within twelve days......

"How many people can we pull out to participate in Plan C in 12 days?"

"Seventeen million four hundred and twenty thousand, Your Excellency." The Chief of Staff reported to the Archon the calculated figures, as well as the source from which they were generated, through a communicator.

"Is that enough?" The archon turned his head, his eyes fixed on the Chief Intelligence Officer's face.

The intelligence officer pursed his lips and shook his head lightly against the eyes of the archon.

"How much is the minimum?"

"There are more than 18 billion people living on the entire Second Earth, and of course, a large part of them are intersecting populations that overlap with other virtual communities...... These populations are highly dispersed across more than 200 million games based on Second Earth...... On average, the number of people in a game is six. ”

"However, considering the highly discrete distribution of the game population, in fact, 83% of the game population is concentrated in less than 20% of the games, and the most mainstream games even concentrate more than 5 billion people......

"They are "The Cage of Skyrim" and "Mapping Crossing...... Here's the list, sir, and you'd better see for yourselves. ”

The intelligence officer directly projected the icon and played it publicly in the room, and then jumped to the point: "There are more than 200 million games, and they are only second-level games...... In many games, there will be a third level of simulation, as well as a fourth and fifth level ......"

"Because many games have a secret system, we can't know the specifics of each game at this time. But in the past, the Ministry of Health Care conducted a brain health survey of the entire federal citizenry, and the content of the survey was related to the critical information of the brains of all citizens......"

"Time is limited......" Speaking of this, the intelligence officer skipped several pages full of data and frame diagrams in a row: "You don't need to know the technical details, but this conclusion, I think it's really the ...... we need for this mission" The intelligence officer stopped the picture, "It mentions that the amount of information shared by the citizens of the Federation is now less than 5 percent, and although the physical distance has hardly changed, and we still live on these fifteen planets, the distance in consciousness is expanding rapidly, just like the overall expansion of the universe." , and the pace of discreteness is accelerating. ”

"In this mission, it means that most people don't communicate at all in the game, and some games are really more popular...... That's true, but at the same time, more and more people are choosing to play alone, and one prefers to experience as many games as possible......"

"According to some data analysis provided by the Ministry of Information, we have made a conservative estimate that the number of games in Second Earth has exceeded 30 billion...... In other words, with our current manpower, each military member needs to search more than two thousand games...... That's an average of 200 games per day over a 12-day period...... It takes almost 5 minutes to complete a check. This is beyond our capabilities. ”

The consuls were stunned by this string of numbers, three tens of billions of games: "Is this the literary and artistic achievement of the entire federation in the last few hundred years?" ”

"Yes, more than 90 percent of games are born within 150 years...... Due to the limitations of energy and storage technology, the rate of growth is now slowing," the intelligence officer further explained, "and now you should be able to understand why we can't collect the mass of the earth for war, right?" Because the vast majority of the Earth's mass is used to develop memory and calculators...... Simulation games consume more than a dozen times more energy than all fleets combined. ”

"Is this just a second earth? And what about the third and fourth? ”

"More of them! Your Excellency," said the intelligence officer, "but the servers on Earth are mainly located on the Second Earth, and the Third and Fourth Earths are mainly laid in space orbits...... Celestial and Mercury ...... More than half of the mass has been carried into orbit by them, and in a century or two, the two planets may cease to exist and will become completely discrete artificial asteroid belts. ”

The Archon stared blankly at the communicator, and for the first time felt as if he were a freshman in school - he was dealing with completely new knowledge.

"Our planet is going to be ...... Why hasn't anyone informed me? ”

"It was a spontaneous referendum by the inhabitants of the planet, Your Excellency," the Governor reminded, "and the federal government has no jurisdiction. ”

"Plan C......" said the archon, his lips trembling, "I can allocate up to five million more...... Urgently alert a group of soldiers from the reserves...... How far is this from the planned requirements? ”

"It's impossible to do a search in the game in real life, you can search house by house...... There is no spatial isolation within the game...... You can imagine this scene, our servicemen have just finished searching a room...... "Obviously, the intelligence officer was very reluctant to answer a number directly, but began to mention the difficulties of the mission in a rambling manner......

The archon sighed, "It's impossible for me to send more people in a short period of time...... Let's do it like this, if there are only about 20 million people, what do you estimate the success rate can be? ”

The intelligence officer pointed to the virtual report in the air, and soon the automatic calculation program came to a conclusion based on the latest data - a 49% chance of success.

"So low?" There was indescribable disappointment in the archon's tone.

"It's so high?" The intelligence officer's tone was diametrically opposed, and he seemed to have some disbelief.

"Is less than half a success rate high?"

"Relative to the difficulty of this mission, it is already very amazing."
