Federal 9, March 1.

The world's first virtual online game "Galaxy Era" is officially open for public beta.

At this time, Xinghai Technology's "Dream III" virtual helmet sold more than 1 billion sets, and players who have a strong interest in "Galactic Era" have basically bought the helmet they want.

……

Nine forty a.m.

Twenty minutes left to start.

"The starting point of the Open Beta is to start with the supreme ruler of a planet, and each player has a planet."

"And the impact of the closed beta on the open beta is almost negligible, and players who participate in the closed beta will not bring any obvious advantages except that they are more familiar with the operation of the game...... In this regard, Xinghai Technology does take care of the interests of most players. ”

"Qinghai, Yi Chen, Late Autumn, let's all seize the opportunity and do a good job!"

Li Dong said in the chat group.

"Understood!"

"This time we have to do a nice job."

"You must become a god who is worshipped!"

Looking at the time again, Li Dong put the game helmet on his head, clicked to enter the game, and his eyes were snow-white.

……

Galaxy.

The panorama of the Milky Way, like a flat disk and full of bright stars, was presented in front of Li Dong.

Standing in the midst of a dark void.

Li Dong heard the system's prompt tone.

"Player, please set your ID name." A translucent, luminous panel sits in front of him.

"Higashi-no-ki."

"The ID name 'Higashinoki' has been set successfully. Players are asked to adjust their appearance. A glowing 3D mannequin spinning in front of Li Dong was exactly what he imagined.

But for the sake of secrecy, players generally don't use their own image in reality, and they will adjust it.

Li Dong thought about it, increased the height of the 3D character model to 1.8 meters, and slightly trimmed his face...... The appearance has increased by about 20%.

"It's almost enough, if you're too handsome, you won't be able to live in such a world, no matter how cold the reality is, you still have to face it bravely."

The basic personal information is set.

The system unfolded a huge star map and introduced:

"Player Higashi-no-Ki, this is a star map of the entire Milky Way, including more than 200 billion stars, but according to the Green Bank formula, the star system with living planets is about one millionth; The star system with water-rich planets is about one in a thousand: the star system rich in heavy elements is about one in ten. ”

"Water is the prerequisite for life, and heavy elements are the necessary components of civilization."

"Players have three types of factions to choose from: living galaxies, colonial galaxies, and exploitable galaxies."

"The value of the living galaxy is the highest, and the population can reach 100 billion; Colonized galaxies are migratory places that have been easily modified to be habitable by humans, with a population limit of more than 10 billion; Exploitable systems are places that have a certain amount of resources and potential for settlement, but do not have a main planet and have a low population ceiling of only about a few billion. ”

And in terms of social structure, it is also roughly divided into three categories: there are civilization consuls similar to the Earth Federation, colonial spaceship captains who carry scientific and technological data and human bombs, and independent pioneers who carry a small number of technological data and population...... There is a big difference in the starting point of the three. ”

Li Dong nodded, the gap was too big.

The consuls of civilization manage more than 10 billion human resources; The captain of the colony ship, in addition to a spaceship and a few crew members, has to use the human bomb to breed a civilization.

The worst is probably the independent pioneers, who only had a few people around them at first, and after opening up the situation, it was quite difficult to increase the population...... It can be said that the starting point is the lowest.

According to the Green Bank formula, the number of living galaxies is only about 20,000...... That is, there are only about 20,000 players who have a chance to become civilized archons.

Divide by billion.

The lucky one who embraces the "golden opening" has a probability of only 2 in 1,000.

"Player Higashinoki, due to your good performance in the closed beta, your closed beta experience score ranking 9992, as a reward, the system will assign you a living galaxy to become the supreme archon of a complete civilization...... This is a reward that can only be obtained by 10,000 players. ”

"So please choose the point of light that belongs to you on this star map and start your journey."

The huge galaxy star map, with tens of thousands of blue light points suddenly brightened, like dazzling night pearls.

And the blue dot of light keeps turning into a red dot, indicating that it has been picked up by other players.

"I'll just pick that!"

Li Dong pointed to a blue point of light on the edge of the spiral arm of Perseus and said, "I want this galaxy." ”

He didn't know which one was best, but he followed a simple rule: don't join in the fun.

Corners and corners are better.

"Okay, you chose the name of the galaxy as KO-13687095, you can choose a convenient name for it." The system says.

"How's it going?"

"The name has already been named by a player."

"How's East Jupiter?"

"Yes, dear player, the settings have been completed, I will teleport you to your planet, and I wish you a happy life."

"Okay, thanks."

Li Dong's eyes lit up again, and the white light like a torrent lit up.

……

When I open my eyes again.

It is a hat-shaped building that looks like it is floating in the sky.

Li Dong stood in a large, empty and simple space that resembled a control hall.

A row of silvery-white consoles was placed on the edge.

Walking to the transparent window, the probe looked down, and countless rows of modern buildings surrounded the tall towers at your feet, forming an extremely prosperous city and symbolizing the political center of the planet.

The tallest tower.

That's the name of the tower at your feet.

Opening the console in front of him, Li Dong queried some basic information:

East Jupiter: A living planet with a diameter of 14,500 kilometers and a land area of 50.5%.

Population: 10.58 billion

Science and technology level: Type I civilization (advanced), has mastered controllable nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence and other technologies, and initially has the ability to explore the universe

Governing structure: Supreme Consul > Federal Assembly > City Council...... It is currently operating stably

Military strength: 2 million joint standing forces

and other information, all of which I looked up.

"Yes, that's off to a pretty good start."

"Take control of a civilization, inherit the culture that this civilization has accumulated for thousands of years, and accept massive knowledge and resources...... These rare riches are impossible for most players to obtain. ”

"This starting point is no less than opening a plug-in, and the starting line is much more than others...... Qinghai they will definitely be very envious. ”

"In the next journey, I also have to make full use of these advantages to make some good-looking results, so that others will no longer be underestimated!"

"Ah~ I'm an ordinary person in reality, just here, let's explode my potential."

Li Dong opened his arms, and at this moment, his chest was full of spirit.
