Chapter 262: The second update of the game
Just when Lao Jiu was invading, the currency issuance of the Empire, and the development of the domestic economy. After more than a month of firefighting and first aid, the Russian Empire finally extinguished the fire in the southeastern plateau. But immediately after that, the Russian Empire and the Mongol Empire experienced natural disasters that should not have happened.
On March 1, the third year of the game, it has been more than a month since the beginning of spring, but the two empires have snowed heavily, covering almost all the territories of the two empires, which directly formed a natural disaster. Maybe that's the consequence of the destruction of the ecological environment!
On March 3 of the same year, the game was updated online, and relevant improvements were made according to a series of bugs that existed in the game after running for a long time. In fact, it can't be regarded as a bug, but it is just to make up for some problems that exist in the control of various empires.
The first is the punishment for destroying the ecological environment! In the case of the empire's inability, the system will impose a certain penalty on the player who causes the ecological balance. Depending on the state of the damage to the environment, and the extent of the damage, the method of punishment varies.
In terms of trial situations, it is mainly divided into fines, account bans, and deprivation of authority in reality. As far as Lao Jiu's ecological destruction this time is concerned, if it happens in the future, it may be deprived of all rights by the Skynet system and directly hit before liberation.
In addition to the ecological balance issue, the content of the system update, and the improvement of the player's personal strength. Mainly for players above level seventy, the ability to fly was directly canceled, and the ability to volley was raised to level eighty.
At the same time, for each city, the forbidden sky update has been made. All the cities with walls are forbidden to the sky, which greatly strengthens the defense of the city, eliminates the possibility of air raids on the city, and improves the defense of the city from the side.
In addition, the system has also been updated for the teleportation array. All teleportation arrays between transnational countries must be super teleportation arrays, and relevant agreements need to be signed between the two countries, otherwise they cannot be directly transmitted through the teleportation array.
As soon as this update came out, Lao Jiu directly got big. He used to use the teleportation array to do a lot of foreshadowing, but now that the system is doing this, it directly makes his follow-up plan die in the womb, which makes Lao Jiu's whole person unhappy.
Finally, there is the renewal of recruitment and outcasts. All soldiers, later abolished direct recruitment, can only be screened from the population of the empire. This has greatly increased the importance of military strength in the future, and has put an end to the possibility of using large-scale wars to train troops.
Because in this way, it is likely to bring huge losses to the empire. If an empire does not have the corresponding military strength. Then the problems that this empire will face will be very serious. And this highlights the importance of the population base.
As for the renewal of the homeless, it is even more unexpected. Depending on the size of the empire, the number of displaced people recruited by the empire each year was also limited. Take the Xiaoyao Empire as an example, occupying such a large territory, the number of displaced people recruited every year is only 10 million.
At the same time, the level of equipment has also been clarified, and gold equipment and above have been characterized as purple gold equipment. And the so-called artifact in the past is just a sub-artifact. And the real artifacts all have special effects.
And in the game, for the real artifact, there is finally a qualitative, that is, the colorful god costume! The so-called colorful god costume is equipment made of colored copper. This is almost non-existent in the entire game, except for the original ones in the game, and the ones that have been built later.
Because so far, the colored copper veins in the game have hardly come out. As far as Lao Jiu knows, the copper veins under the extinct volcano may contain colored copper, but I have not heard of it, and that empire has also discovered colored copper veins.
Even if it is the copper vein under the dead and alive mountain, so far, after more than a year of mining, there is no granular colored copper. This is enough to show the preciousness of colored copper. Therefore, the real colored copper veins are almost non-existent.
The last update in the game is about the growth of NPCs. For ordinary NPCs, one year in reality is equivalent to ten years for them. For NPCs, they can only join the army after the age of twenty.
This is equivalent to the fact that the new NPC has to go through two years of growth before they can officially join the army. Only after joining the army can you improve your own strength. Generally, the level of an adult NPC is equivalent to level ten, and after joining the army training, it can be upgraded to level twenty.
And the NPCs after level 50 grow at the same rate as the player, and a year in reality is equivalent to a year for them. This seemed to be a bit chaotic in Lao Jiu's feelings, making him a little confused.
However, he still clearly realized that it was almost impossible to want large-scale captive troops in the future. If your own troops have suffered huge losses because of a certain war, it is not easy to replenish the population that will be lost.
Because if you want to make up for the population lost in the war in the future, you must recruit troops from your own country, which is to consume your own population base. Just like during World War II, little Japan directly led to a serious shortage of its own country and population because of the war.
In the end, a corresponding plan had to be implemented, stipulating that fourteen-year-old girls must start a family and have children, in order to compensate for the lack of population in the empire. This seriously damaged the foundation of the empire, and in the ensuing war, it could only be reduced to a sword.
In Lao Jiu's opinion, this update of the game seems to be forced out by him. Maybe the system was punishing itself, so that Lao Jiu's many secret teleportation arrays in Huaxia were directly paralyzed, so that his losses almost reached tens of billions of gold coins.
As soon as the system was renewed, Lao Jiu had to hold an emergency meeting. Because of this system update, almost all of Lao Jiu's plans were disrupted, and his direct loss reached tens of billions, not counting the losses in other aspects.
In the conference hall of the imperial capital, Lao Jiu summoned almost all the important personnel. In addition to his confidantes, there are also dozens of army commanders such as the Forty Great Thieves, Erhei, Shishi, Guan Ping'an, and Ma Jun.
"This update of the system almost caught me off guard, and almost all of my original plans were stillborn!" In the conference hall, Lao Jiu looked at the important personnel of the empire below, frowned, and said with a solemn face.
"In the face of this system update, we must come up with a corresponding plan, adjust ourselves as soon as possible, and then plan the future development from the new plan. Ruyu, you can first talk about the development and construction of the empire. ”
"Due to the limitations of population growth, the future development of our empire may enter a period of delay. At present, the empire's labor force is limited, which limits the development of the empire, what are your views on the future planning of the empire? ”
"The current population of the empire has reached about 550 million, and as for the labor force, it is more than enough at present. Due to the vast territory of the Empire, the area we currently develop only occupies one-third of the Empire. Bai Ruyu thought for a moment and said.
"Just this third, also because of the climate, as well as environmental factors, is mostly concentrated in the south of the imperial capital. And the three thousand miles of woodland north of the imperial capital are almost undeveloped. And the snow wolves in the northern wasteland have only cleared more than half. ”
"The most important task at present is to complete the defense of the entire Empire and the coastal walls within three months. According to your original plan, the length of the entire city wall has almost reached more than 30,000 kilometers, and now the labor force has exceeded 50 million. ”
"And the construction of other aspects of the empire has been basically perfected. The current economic system has also basically stabilized, and as for the future development, it may slow down, because the demand within the empire has approached saturation. ”
"The construction of the Great Wall is urgent, this is the guarantee of the security of our empire!" Lao Jiu said in a solemn tone, "Before the summer, we must complete the construction of the entire city wall. Sifeng, what arrangements do you have for the later development of the empire? ”
"At present, the industrial development of our empire has been basically qualitative." Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu and said, "Our main task this year is agricultural planting and the expansion of animal husbandry. This was a condition that the empire had to meet for self-sufficiency. ”
"This year, we plan to build tens of thousands of large-scale breeding bases in the north of the empire. Due to the sparsely populated nature of the north, a large amount of land has been abandoned. So, we expect to implement the livestock planning for the north of the empire this year. ”
"And the climate in the south is suitable, and we have begun to expand the fertile land in large quantities, build a reasonable grain production base, and increase the grain production of the empire. to solve the problem of food reserves, and also solve the problem of economic income of local NPCs. ”
"For the time being, the economy of the Empire is completely driven by the construction and development of the empire. If we want to better improve the strength of the national economy, we still need to implement ocean trade, which is the long-term solution. ”
"I also know the importance of ocean trade, but our strength does not allow it at the moment." Lao Jiu frowned deeply and said, "With our current strength, how many warships can we build in a year?" ”
"Ocean trade is easy, but it mainly requires a certain amount of military strength as a guarantee. After all, this is a game, and anything can happen. Before ocean trade, we must have enough confidence, otherwise we will be delivering food to others. ”
"Even everything in the game is built much faster than in reality. However, the construction of warships is not easy! Long Sifeng said helplessly, "Unlike transport ships, warships have higher quality requirements, more complex operation designs, and high material requirements. ”
"In more than three months last year, the top ten dockyards each built a complete Huya battleship. And the level of the entire battleship has only reached the peak of silver, not yet the gold level. And the weakness of these warships is also obvious, that is, they are afraid of fire attacks and scuttling ships! ”
