Soon a month passed.

Twenty months have passed in the game.

During this period, Li Dong launched a series of diplomatic actions, the contents of which were roughly the same: for neighboring countries, he expressed the hope of establishing bilateral relations of mutual nonaggression and long-term peace, strengthening bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and even establishing regional economic and trade organizations, learning from each other's strong points and complementing each other's weaknesses to bring about economic growth.

It just so happened that the surrounding kingdom of Bregsloh was mostly small countries, and its military strength was far inferior to that of the kingdom of Bregslow, and Li Dong thought that his invitation to strengthen economic and trade cooperation should receive a positive response.

"I'm sorry, but there is no need to strengthen economic and trade cooperation between the two countries."

"Our country's industrial and agricultural industries cannot withstand the onslaught of cheap goods in your country, so we can maintain the status quo."

Even more arrogant remark: "Our country has no interest in your goods, but there is a disputed territory of 300,000 square kilometers, and if Bregslow is willing to return it, the two sides can establish comprehensive economic and trade ties." ”

- This led to a large number of voices in the Kingdom of Bregslow using force to punish provocateurs, which made Li Dong feel quite stressed.

"Don't I just hope to use economic cooperation to make everyone's cake bigger and increase the resources and wealth in each other's hands? Although the economic growth brought by this is only equivalent to a few percent of GDP, it has made the cake bigger. ”

Li Dong shook his head, a few percent is also progress, almost none of the modern wars have brought huge wealth, and generally only blood losses.

Like Li Dong, he can get some positive ratings.

It's just that the players who control other countries don't look down on that little profit at all, and they are bent on eating a fat man in one go and dominating the entire planet.

So only a dozen or so small countries that are not adjacent to each other responded and agreed to strengthen economic and trade ties.

But after finding enough casus belli, war was still inevitable.

However, in order to avoid underscoring or dropping out of the game, the major powers signed the "No Use of Nuclear Weapons Treaty", which was intended to use only conventional weapons and fight a war with limited destructive power.

Three superpowers, 15 large countries, 48 medium-sized countries, and more than 10 billion people are all involved.

All kinds of stealth fighters, mecha legions, heavy tank legions...... and other sharp weapons, after being put into the battlefield, the efficiency of harvesting human lives is still terrifying.

After only one month of fighting (the equivalent of 20 months in the game), more than 200 million people were lost, and the participating countries were all in flames, and there were many voices about whether to use nuclear weapons.

Li Dong set up a "coalition of neutral countries", in which three large countries and ten medium-sized countries joined, strictly abiding by the principle of neutrality, but maintaining a state of "all the people are soldiers", once that neutral country is invaded, other neutral countries are obliged to help, that is, "joint self-protection...... Li Dong used this to pull up a larger force.

The closed beta was conducted until the 66th day.

A player posted a fried post on the forum:

"The Alien Forces Are Coming"

The post said: "I'm in control of a superpower in the game, with the ability to build large observation facilities in space. ”

"Yesterday the officials of the astronomical department told me that the space telescope had spotted a large alien fleet that was rapidly approaching the planet Nedru."

"It is expected to arrive in three days, and if a complete defense is not established within this time, the alien fleet will drive straight in, like a sword, piercing the heart of the planet Nedru, killing all the forces and occupying the planet."

"I think the purpose of Xinghai Technology is like this, human beings are not a threat inside, aliens are the biggest enemy, the ultimate challenge!"

"If we can't agree in a short period of time and concentrate all our resources and forces to fight the challenge, there is no doubt that destruction will befall you! As for the rating of the game, it is impossible to get much. ”

"Hurry up and stop fighting! Don't consume too much resources in cannibalism, gather all your forces together, and be sure to withstand the attack of the alien fleet before the end of the closed beta, and the system will reward us with a score at that time! ”

Alien fleet.

All the players were taken aback.

"What kind of god turn is Xinghai Technology playing? The aliens have all come out, and I just destroyed five countries. ”

"Now that the main enemy is aliens, stop the ongoing war immediately?"

"In my closed beta game, the astronomy department also said that an anomaly was found in space, and a lot of red dots were observed."

"Stop the war? Impossible! The country I control is a democracy, and now the parliament is controlled by fanatical soldiers, and if I stop the war, I will be out of power immediately! ”

"I've already killed the red eye, and I can't stop at all."

"Not good! All the nuclear weapons are used, and it is impossible to stop the aliens. ”

……

"There are even alien forces arranged?"

"The so-called 'ultimate challenge' is probably the wave of aliens."

Li Dong shook his head, Xinghai Technology's intentions, he understood it, he wanted to tell players through a small test: war, you must not simply solve the problem, but also have wisdom in other aspects.

For example, diplomacy, economic and trade exchanges, cultural exchanges...... And so on and so forth.

This is the true meaning of "Galactic Age", and it is also in line with the specific situation in reality.

It's not just pure war.

……

Soon.

The closed beta test is on its 93rd day, so it can be said that it has come to an end.

Of the 50 million players who participated in the test, less than 1 in 10,000 are still working hard in the game.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Dong took off the virtual helmet he was wearing on his head and wiped the sweat from his head.

Cai Qinghai hurriedly poked his head over and asked, "How is the boss, how many ratings did you get?" Did you survive that wave of aliens? ”

"Nope."

Li Dong said helplessly: "The aliens are too strong, it is useless to integrate all the forces and launch all the nuclear weapons, the alien fleet is only half destroyed, and finally fought a guerrilla war on land for a few days, and everyone is GG." ”

"How many points did you get?" Roommate Liu Yichen asked.

"Resources are 0 + prestige is 87,000 + time is 9,300...... A total of 96,000 points, got an A- evaluation. ”

"I'm rubbing the boss, your prestige is too exaggerated, isn't it? 87,000, according to the conversion formula, you unite 8.7 billion humans around you, obey your orders, and inflict heavy damage on the aliens...... How did you do that? Cai Qinghai exclaimed.

"President, among the people I know, the one with the highest rating only scored 36,000 points, are you exaggerating?" In the chat group, Mu Wanqiu was also very surprised.

"So-so."

Li Dong smiled modestly, "I very much agree with what Big Brother Chen said: the most valuable resource is nothing else, it is always people!" If this principle is followed, some unexpected results can always be achieved. ”

Especially in times of crisis, the importance of people is even greater, and when enough people are united, enough resources are gathered.

"Hmm."

Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen, and Mu Wanqiu all nodded thoughtfully.

The closed beta of the large-scale virtual online game "Galaxy Era" has basically ended here.
