Chapter XXIV: The Truth of the Era

After relaxing for dozens of hours, Pan Wen was sitting at the star chart table in the captain's room at this time, pointing his finger at the point of light representing the MR241 galaxy, frowning.

It is true that he can be indifferent to the changes in the situation in MR241 like other NPCs, but there really are no high-level bosses to interfere with the player's development, and they may have the strength to sweep through all obstacles before the end of the era, including him Pan Wen and the satellite far away in MR251. So he hopes to do something, preferably to get Segeise to support him for a while, even for a day, as long as he doesn't put himself in a desperate situation.

Pan Wen has always wanted to wreak havoc on the player, and he and his fleet have spent a lot of time on this project, judging by the size and the damage they have done, but he understands that the damage he caused is a bit pitiful to the player, and the situation is somewhat similar to that of a mayfly shaking a tree.

It seemed like a good idea to join forces with other tier 1 members to hunt for players, but he had considered that the dangers outweighed the benefits.

The chain of command of the joint hunt is not smooth enough and not to mention, once the bosses die, although they can have enough reserves to resurrect, but the memory will disappear except for the basic knowledge, which is not good for the reorganization of the fleet, because the resurrection may be affected by the change of memory, which may lead to personality deviations, and may not recognize the need to reorganize the fleet and turn to work!

If you just go to work, in terms of the number of personnel, the BOSS still gives full play to the advantage of its own license attributes, but what is more serious is that Pan Wen is worried that the BOSS will "fall off"! Class Decline is a change that only occurs during the respawn process, and is one of the heaviest punishments for NPCs other than the Memory Seal, which essentially reduces Segois' resistance.

Perhaps "worrying that his teammates will die in battle due to his unfavorable tactical choices" is a matter of concern to Pan Wen, but the most important factor in his abandonment of hunting with other first-tier members is mainly due to the player's ability to bear it.

As an Awakened One, Pan Wen knows players very well, and it can even be said that if he has the right to go offline and enter and exit the forum freely, he is also a special player, and it is precisely because of this that he is easier to think about problems from the player's perspective than others.

The second world is not a real world in the eyes of players, but a playground, or another way of life with multiple choices that replaces all the functions of the real world. They will not be resistant to the word "destruction", and once they are stimulated too much, it is very likely that they will customize a free strategy regardless of the strategy of their own faction, such as gnawing Segois directly. And this kind of stimulation can be shown by a very intuitive data, that is, the number of players/ships that die at the hands of high-level NPCs compared to the number of high-level NPCs destroyed, or more simply as the surplus and deficit of experience punishment and reward.

Obviously, at this stage, players dare to drag a mixed formation of two or three hundred patrol ships and frigates to simply hunt down Pan Wen's fleet, and if they go to unite the fleets of other first-level members to make trouble, the mobile star base will not be able to protect them.

If you unite the last twenty or thirty first-level members, you can make some fame, but there is no point in doing that, the combined fleet composed of twenty or thirty first-level members' own fleets, where to fight is not to fight, why bother to go to MR241 that is already controlled by the player, if the battlefield is the Death Sea Particle Storm Zone, the pirate's custom livery can also have additional concealment capabilities, in addition, the energy field of the particle storm zone itself will also mask the radiation generated by the large fleet during maneuvering.

Do you want to leave the player alone and let them develop until they explode the mobile star machine and then swim freely in the dead sea?

That's impossible, and if you can't think of a good way in the remaining days of the acceptance of the new ship, then you can only use "that" move.

After a simple process safety assessment of "that" move, Pan Wen's finger left the MR241 point of light on the star map and placed it on the point of light representing MR243, and when his middle finger also touched the star map board at the same time, a separate holographic projection of the MR243 galaxy was displayed on the star map table.

After the fall of Segeis, it was when the real trouble came.

The importance of MR243 and its own power are too asymmetrical, and it is unknown what it will become in the future.

MR243 is the only jump node between the MR Cluster and the KT Cluster, and forty percent of the cargo transported in space will pass through here, once Segeis is defeated, MR243 will become a leveling ground for players, and it will immediately cause an economic impact on several galaxies in the future of MR244, and this impact, not only at the Star Coin level and the space industry associated with Star Coins, will also inevitably cause a major blow to the resident Star Economic Circle.

For example, K7E1 on the Resistance Front is a gold planet with a clarity of 65%, and due to the difficulty and low cost of extracting from the thin atmosphere, it is also the lowest gold mining cost in the area controlled by humans, even if it includes the war damage caused by the struggle for mining rights! There are only two stops from K7 to MR243, and if you continue to spread outward, you will be able to spread to all the countries of the MR cluster in one or two stops. If MR243 loses its material circulation function, with the physical properties of gold itself, it will have to be mined locally at a higher cost in industry, or find more expensive synthetic materials as substitutes, and its radiation effect can create a large area of price increases, and then derive more radiation effects.

From point to point, dozens of raw materials, including gold, which account for a large proportion of interstellar commerce, cannot be leveled in the entire human world, and it will naturally breed a "specialty" society. Products produced in existing galaxies cannot be made in other galaxies, or the cost is not even thought about.

In fact, the emergence of a specialized-type society is a kind of degradation, and smuggling and dumping will become very serious. Although it will be beneficial to the expansion of the pirate camp, in fact, standing on the level of Pan Wen, the trouble is more than good. Take the manufacture of modern warships as an example, the manufacture of a frigate will almost use all the first 110 places in the periodic table, including hundreds of derived isotopes, not to mention that the products in some galaxies cannot make up all the elements at all, and even if they can be made, the cost is astronomical, and the result is that the cost of building a ship will fly.

The only two star crystal sources for mankind are MR241 and KT14, which will be closed on the day MR243 is invaded, and the net worth of several galaxy coins in the back of MR244 will also increase, with the result that more materials are needed to obtain the same amount of star coins.

More supplies are needed for Star Coins, more Star Coins are needed to buy ships, and it is not surprising that a frigate in the next few galaxies of MR244 will rise to the equivalent of fifty or sixty thousand Star Coins.

The only weapon MR243 can use to protect itself is its importance as a starbridge, and if captured, the occupier will become the enemy of all mankind! Unfortunately, this does not seem to be a deterrent to players, and even if the Empire and Federation officials try to stop it, they will presumably be attracted by MR243's huge ship traffic. In that case, MR243 will probably be in a state of sneak attack and counter-sneak attack for a while, and may become a permanent point of resistance for another force.

Pan Wen thought about it a lot, and always felt that MR243 had a great possibility of becoming another resistance front, because according to the situation that all events in the second world will have a linkage effect, coupled with the fact that the individual abilities of the boss and the player in the Galactic Era have been reduced, the later the power of the resistance player, the smaller the control area, the more powerless the resistance will be, and the bugs on the CT nebula also need time to develop to the extent that they can block the player's footsteps.

In addition to these reasons, Panwen's speculation also refers to the entire platform function of the Second World.

The Second World Classification as a Whole has three functions: to allocate resources among human settlements to maintain the overall economic vitality of mankind, to stimulate the development of real technology (especially high-speed space mobility technology that can help humans colonize outside the solar system), and to reduce the demand index of human beings for the environment for the continuation of the universe.

In the case of whether MR243 is likely to be swallowed outright, the main reference is to stimulate the development of real technology.

The technical level of the Galactic Age is higher than that of the real society, and it is precisely because of this that a series of values such as acceleration, space dust destructive power, and hyperspace technology have to deviate from reality, because there is no corresponding real technology, so some completely fictional things Real AI will only be made according to the machine without understanding its principle, which has actually begun to deviate from the original intention of stimulating the development of real technology. In the era of the great galaxy, human beings only tossed between two star clusters, and did not even occupy a cantilever of the galaxy, which reflects that the computing power of the hardware structure of the second world is close to the limit, and it is impossible to provide a larger-scale realistic environment by simply increasing the number of terminals!

Then it is conceivable that when the real technology is barely developed, and the era of the second world is pushed to the point that it has to be transferred to the next era, it is likely that the real technological capabilities cannot meet the needs of the dormant people of the earth for "real", forcing the second world to return to the first era and start over! Of course, the story doesn't repeat itself exactly.

What's wrong with returning to the First Age? Dormant people can only passively accept it anyway, right? Players may want to go back to a time when their abilities were more prominent.

Of course there is a problem!

The laboratory built by the real world in the second world is either a marginal planet or exists in a different dimension, and in the next era, whether it is to return to the Flood Era or enter the real galactic travel era, the laboratory can exist in its current form, but the knowledge popularization of the galactic era obviously has the advantage of national development.

It is true that the 20 billion compatriots of Pan Wen on the earth have no human rights, but their creativity as human beings is not limited by memory, and only in a higher social and technological environment, the earth, which still occupies the homeland of the majority of members of human society, has enough gold content, and only in an environment where all people are exposed to realistic technology, the four major regulators can better reflect the value of their "supervision" of creativity, not just a large management machine.

Therefore, if the next era cannot be technologically advanced, the human management will definitely hope that the Second World will last a little longer in the Galactic Age, in anticipation of breakthrough technological innovations.

According to this line of thinking, no matter how long Segeis can hold out, MR243, 244, and 245, the three galaxies that can jump to 242, will inevitably form a stronger resistance front, and at the same time, the outside management may also use its privileges to influence the decision-making of various forces, and suppress the so-called "wheel of history" in the player's mouth without affecting the "experience".

Pan Wen's little fart Gada will bother with this kind of big thing, for his own sake, because if MR243 is a point that must be swallowed, with its importance, and the current situation that the pirates on MR241 are almost emptied, he must immediately start urging his friends to start hoarding raw materials that are lacking or difficult to mine on the satellites around Hemer.

However, although his current derivation result is that a new resistance front will be formed, the matter of hoarding raw materials still needs to be done, and it will take some time for the chaos caused by the bite of MR243 to the formation of the resistance front, and there are bugs peeping on the other side, and the eventual rise in prices is inevitable, but if things really develop according to his expectations, there is no need to be too tight, at least it can ensure that the expansion of the fleet will not stop.

Pan Wen's brows had just loosened a little, and the voice of the second host Doudou sounded in the captain's room.

"Captain, the cells collected in CT156 have progressed."
