Chapter 32: Faster-than-Light Engine

Professional virtual gamer.

This is the profession that Li Dong is engaged in...... Of course, you can add the prefix "Ashes".

And he is a professional player who has been working in the first virtual online game "Galaxy Era" for more than 20 years.

No one knows the game better than he does.

And in the golden development period of this game, he earned millions of income by writing game guides, selling scientific and technological materials, and exchanging various resources...... That's enough to live a fairly comfortable and comfortable life.

However, young people are greedy for enjoyment, and they have no plans to buy a house or a car, so they just care about being chic everywhere.

In a few years, the money has basically been squandered.

At this time, the popularity of "Galactic Era" gradually cooled down.

More exciting and fun virtual online games have emerged, such as magic, immortal cultivation, mecha, etc., with novel gameplay and more exciting senses, attracting a large number of players.

Naturally, the number of players in Galactic Age has lost a lot.

After more than ten years of golden development, players have generally matured, resource transactions have decreased, money is no longer so easy to make, and it has entered the "Silver Age".

Li Dong's monthly income has been reduced from more than 100,000 yuan per month to 10,000 yuan.

Life is getting harder.

Of course, this is also an inevitable law, no matter how fun the game is, it will be popular for a maximum of one or two decades, and then gradually weaken.

In addition, "Galactic Age" has a fatal flaw, that is, due to the high degree of simulation, even if the execution efficiency of the game is more than ten times that of conventional circumstances, to fight an interstellar war spanning more than a dozen light years, it will take more than ten years (real time) just on the road.

It takes several years or more to fight a war.

Not many players can afford such a long wait.

After all, in this fast-paced era, people are more willing to pursue those ten minutes, minutes, or even tens of seconds of sensory stimulation.

"Galactic Age", which has been labeled as an "old game" and "outdated", is an inevitability.

But Li Dong never gave up, and he became even more excited in the past two days, and explained to his wife in front of him:

"Wife, I think my great opportunity has come, and life will continue to get better."

Mu Wanqiu glared at him: "You mean that you agree to go out and find a job, and through hard work, improve the current situation at home, right?" ”

"No, I think in "Galactic Era", there is still a chance for me to develop, haven't you read the update announcement of the game, the annual income of 2 trillion is evenly distributed to 200 billion star systems, and each star system can bring ten yuan of income."

"What's the use of that?"

Mu Wanqiu said with a cold face: "Ten yuan can't even buy a tube of noodles, do you still expect this to make a fortune?" ”

"Of course, at present, my 'Dongmu civilization' probably occupies 180 star systems, and its sphere of influence covers most of the stars within a radius of 25 light years, multiplied by 10, and the annual dividend income is about 1,800 yuan."

"Hehe, one thousand eight, you want to starve a whole family to death, right?"

"But in just one year, I am sure that the star system under my control will increase to 10,000, and the annual dividend will reach 100,000, which is not much different from your work."

Li Dong said confidently, as if he had mastered some secret to success.

"How is this possible? You can't occupy so many star systems in a hundred years, regular starships can accelerate to 0.2 times the speed of light at most, and the general economic speed is only 0.1C, and the slow pace of the game of "Galactic Age" has become its dead end. ”

Mu Wanqiu is also a veteran player who has been in "Galaxy Era" for more than ten years, and he still knows the characteristics of the game, and concludes: This is a boring farming game, and it will gradually become less played.

Only Li Dong is still addicted.

"After the version update, the problem of slow pace has been solved."

"Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the announcement, the era of 'all-out interstellar warfare' is indeed coming."

"An interstellar battleship with a maximum speed of 20 times the speed of light, multiplied by 3.3 times the execution efficiency, in a year, my radius of influence can reach about 100 light years, control nearly 10,000 star systems, and increase a good income."

Mu Wanqiu was stunned: "Twenty times the speed of light? It's impossible, can't it? ”

"The faster-than-light curvature engine, some players have made a significant breakthrough in this regard, which directly induced the version update."

Li Dong said that in fact, the pace of "Galactic Era" is too slow, because the speed of the starship is too low, and the speed of light flight technology has not progressed.

Over the years, a large number of 'science and technology stream' players have entered the field of 'space technology' in the hope of finding solutions to problems and bidding farewell to the era of inefficient communication.

The hard work paid off, and countless brains and ideas finally made a breakthrough in 'space technology' because of a genius's flash of inspiration.

The faster-than-light curvature engine has the potential to become a reality.

The change brought about by this is revolutionary.

"With the faster-than-light curvature engine technology, in an interstellar war, the mobility of the dispatched warship will be hundreds of times that of ordinary warships, not only can it smoothly occupy the advantage of troops, even if it faces a strong opponent, it can also easily escape, and the generation gap is thus formed, with the big swallowing the small, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and the all-out war is about to begin."

"It's like you've mastered this technology, if it's just someone else who has it and you don't, what are you going to do to conquer tens of thousands of star systems?"

Mu Wanqiu glanced at her husband, not knowing where he got his confidence.

"Who says I don't? A good friend I know gave me a free copy of the curvature engine, and if I sell it to someone else, I will have to charge at least 1 million, but because I have helped him a lot, I gave him a big gift of friendship. ”

Li Dong looked at her and asked, "How is it, can you give me another chance to show my strengths?" ”

This one......

Mu Wanqiu was silent for a while, and nodded for a long time: "Okay, I'll give you another year." ”

She agreed to let Li Dong try.

One, she is very familiar with the game "Galactic Era", although the pace of the game is slow, but the realism and intelligence are still complete to other virtual games on the market, and the potential is still there.

Second, she believes in Li Dong's ability, after all, in the past twenty or thirty years, through this game, Li Dong has earned at least tens of millions from it, so that the family can live a good life. Now that Xinghai Technology has cast such a big bait, there are not many senior players left in the "Galactic Era", and there is less competition, if Li Dong goes all out to gather wool, the 10,000 star system is indeed very easy.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly.

"My own man,It seems that he's been bound to the game for a lifetime.,Including me, I was also deceived by him.,Hmph.,I knew I wouldn't play any games.。

……

The other side.

Since the decision to turn the core asset income right of Xinghai Technology into a reward in the game.

Chen Jin immediately got into trouble, and his head grew big.

Ming gradually said

There's been something going on these days, and my head is a little messy
