Chapter Ninety-Five: It's Better to Play a Game
In 1960, Eisenhower, the president of the Eagle Nation, was preparing to meet with Soviet President Nikita Khrushchev to negotiate a disarmament agreement that included the limitation of strategic nuclear weapons.
As a result, on the eve of the talks, the Eagle U2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane invaded the Soviet Union without the president's authorization and was shot down, and relations between the two countries fell to a freezing point, and Eisenhower was furious.
The following year, at the end of Eisenhower's term, in his famous "farewell address," he warned the American people to be wary of the dangers posed by the "monster" of the "military-industrial complex."
The military, the military-industrial complex as a defense contractor, and a series of entanglements within the government, including the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives, together form a vast military-industrial complex.
The defense contractor described the terrible enemy to everyone every day, let everyone know that the world is not safe, and there will be demons threatening the "free world" at any time, and then the congressmen who took the money made a generous statement, asking the government to approve more military spending, sending more soldiers overseas, provoking more people, so that the eagle country has more enemies, and then the enemy attacks the eagle country, and the defense contractor continues to describe how terrible the world is......
From the time of Eisenhower to the present, the Eagle Nation has suffered from the "enemy deficiency syndrome", and the military-industrial complex has almost kidnapped the country.
The nuclear torpedo incident at the Arctic Stone Statue gives defense contractors an excellent reason.
The national missile defense system and the theater missile defense system, which had already come to a standstill, will immediately be put on the ground again, and they may have stronger brains and sharper insight.
In addition to Taylor, many defense contractors have taken advantage of the gargoyle plague to start selling all kinds of military chemical protection supplies and even gas masks.
There are also many laboratories that want to put the gargoyle virus into practice and find out where it can be used.
Of course, robot soldiers who are not afraid of viruses and radiation have been tested in the Middle East theater for many years, and now they are naturally the best weapons for many people.
And a series of actions by the Eagle State have caused a chain reaction, so that other major powers have also begun to secretly develop their own missile defense systems and other weapons.
For a time, the international situation became tense......
In a small courtyard on the outskirts of Thai City, Shen Feng lies on a deck chair on the terrace and looks at the night sky, next to something similar to a bank teller robot.
After destroying the Arctic Stone Ruins, he received a bracelet reminder again, and got a special reward for the game, which was to be able to bring a local existence to the mission world (one-time) without the need for a quantum backpack.
It's just that the subsequent changes in the international situation made the teenager a little depressed.
"Jingwei, do you think I'm doing something wrong? Maybe the crisis should be made immediately apparent, at least hundreds of thousands of people will die, and millions of people will be killed in order to make those arrogant guys have a sense of awe......"
The destruction of the remains of the stone statues has caused a panic military expansion war by governments around the world, who is to blame for this.
The bank teller bot immediately said:
"Hundreds of thousands of millions are not numbers, they are living human lives, even if they are not in front of your eyes, you can see the corpse on TV, can you bear it? To be honest, I can't bear it...... Also, can you give me a better look? Even if it's a temporary dormitory, this thing is too stupid, and it's not as good as a Haidilao food delivery robot...... Knife cutting robots are also OK. ”
Shen Feng sighed and said:
"That's ...... too"
Watching humanity pay for its stupidity is not the same thing as making humanity pay for its stupidity.
Although he is not a virgin, he is not a madman who kills indiscriminately, otherwise he would not have prevented the end of the world at all.
Then Shen Feng moved his finger in the void, and a piercing radio wave immediately came from the computer next to him, which sounded completely white noise.
Although no one is operating the computer, the software on it is running automatically, quickly stripping away the background noise of the audio file, leaving only a piece of audio track.
Immediately, a hoarse and muffled voice appeared:
“…… Let's be great again ......"
The screen round face of the teller robot where Jingwei lived couldn't help but show a cartoon-shaped surprised expression, and asked:
"Where did you find this thing? Whisperers? ”
Shen Feng nodded:
"Just when you were playing the game, I divided some consciousness tentacles and intercepted them in the mobile phone signals of some high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Eagle Country...... I was about to send them a gaming terminal. ”
It's like a thief stealing something from a certain house, and before you even enter the door, you see a colleague's butt exposed.
It's a little embarrassing.
"These signals don't have any direction of origin, as if they appeared out of thin air, and I tried to trace the source, but I couldn't find the direction of the data flow at all......"
Jingwei immediately became cautious, and Shen Feng's words showed that the Whisperer could also directly exert influence on the reality level.
Even, many of the higher-ups may themselves be pawns, allies, or slaves of the Whisperers.
Shen Feng scratched his head and said:
"Originally, I wanted to directly have a showdown with the high-level leaders of several big countries, but now it seems that it is better to take it slowly, I am in a hurry, and I don't know how to die."
Jingwei said angrily:
"Correction, we both don't know how to die, my main consciousness is imprisoned in your body, if your server burns down, I'll be unlucky. Also, I think you've been a little anxious lately and need to see a psychiatrist. ”
At this moment, the advertising light wall on the building in the center of the city flickered in the distance, revealing a few lines of large characters and the bright smiling faces of several farmers and herdsmen:
"The farm robot is a good helper for farmers and herdsmen! Squint, explore black technology, and live for life! ”
The first generation of farm robots has begun to be marketed in the past few days.
Except for the photos burned by Shen Feng, many things that should have come have not changed yet.
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's go, play games, play games." Shen Feng said, put on the headphones, and closed his eyes.
The teller robot where Jingwei was sheltered was also silent for a moment.
The consciousness of one man and one bird has entered the internet, sending a signal to the 10,000 players selected around the world.
"Nuclear War Wasteland World Mission, Begin!"
……
"Buzz......" Li Tongchen's mobile phone shook suddenly, and he immediately picked up the mobile phone, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
What appears on your phone is a reminder of a real apocalyptic game!
Originally, a few days ago, an update reminder suddenly appeared in the "Real Doomsday Game", saying that a nuclear war wasteland mission was about to start, and Li Tongchen has been looking forward to it.
It's just that after the reminder was issued, there has been no new reaction.
He also carries his phone with him all these days, for fear of missing something.
And now, a prompt has finally appeared on the phone, and the second phase of the game mission, the nuclear war wasteland apocalypse, has begun!
Thinking of the crisis caused by the Arctic nuclear torpedo during this time, Li Tongchen looked forward to this game task even more.
The previous Gargoyle Apocalypse warned of the terrible scene after the outbreak of the Gargoyle plague, and the nuclear war wasteland apocalyptic mission should not be much worse......
Li Tongchen took a deep breath and clicked on the "start".
Immediately, a picture appeared on the screen.
is a game character playing with a mobile phone.
The game character is dressed in gray pajamas and is sitting in a study with a lamp on the table and a row of bookcases behind him, with gray hair and glasses.
Wrong......
Li Tongchen suddenly looked up and looked around, in his study, the lamp, the bookcase, and even the decorations on the table were exactly the same as in the game.
Turning the angle, he saw the faces of the game's characters.
The character of this game is himself!
He suddenly realized, and looked up at the window, but there was only quiet night.
Looking at the phone again, the game characters in it also looked out the window, but outside the window in the game, there was a scorching white light that could compete with a thousand suns, and a mushroom cloud rising in the center of the city!
