Chapter 14: Under the Dandelion
This is the final scene of the most popular e-sports game in the world today, "Kill Bugs", and the scene is extremely hot. That's because the tournament will be played on stage by two of the most prestigious professional gaming teams in the global esports world today: WE and OMG, in an era where each of their members is a household name and has an influence that rivals the top superstars of the past, and almost 90% of the world's esports population supports this huge market.
In 2020, in the era of crisis, the mainstream cultural entertainment trend of this era is no longer dominated by cultural media such as film, television and novels, but by online e-sports.
Under the tremendous pressure brought by the Zerg to human beings, blood and war are full of human society in this era, and there is no longer a stage for the sound of the sound in this era, and there is no longer a text such as you and me. But the huge pressure on the human world from the Zerg not only did not make human beings give up entertainment, but let the violent and belligerent factors in the blood of human beings in the troubled times fully burst out, although people can not kill and war wantonly in human society, but as an alternative, in some aspects can meet the needs of human beings, these ** e-sports games have also shown a leap forward.
War e-sports games have become one of the mainstream cultural characteristics of this era, human beings in the information society, the way of work rarely requires manual labor, replaced by a large number of various machines, and people's entertainment mainly relies on network intelligence, although, most people can not participate in the war with the Zerg on the battlefield, but they also need some kind of medium to vent the pressure and emotions that envelop the entire human race.

On the stage, under the watchful eyes of the public, the two teams of WE and OMG played an exciting game.
www.xstxt.orgg side defeated the Zerg Scythe Beast, www.xstxt.orgg's main ship has killed the Plague Queen with the help of the fighter plane, and finally, both sides almost killed the Zerg Lord at the same time, and finally OMG chess is high, preemptively killed the Lord, eliminated the Zerg attack force, and became the winner of the final.
When the captain of OMG, the eldest brother, picked up the lush cup, the audience cheered, and under the cover of various high-decibel noises, on the stage, the eldest brother heard Captain WEr, who came up to shake hands, say in his ear:
"Did you get it too?"
The eldest brother was immediately stunned, not understanding what Ruofeng meant, Ruofeng put his hand into his jacket pocket and took out a piece of something, revealing a corner on it, so that the eldest brother could clearly see the pattern, it was a shining doji!
"You got it too?" The eldest brother immediately asked rhetorically.
Ruofeng pointed to his ears at him, signaling that he couldn't hear, and the two happened to take a curtain call together and walked backstage.
"We've got a call-up order! What about you? ”
"Of course we received it, you have, how could we not have it?" Ruofeng's eyes shone with a light of refusal to admit defeat.
The eldest brother smiled,
"Haha, what? Do you still want to have a real war in which there is no winner in the game? ”
"Why, you don't dare?"
The eldest brother shook his head, he looked sideways at the brothers of OMG behind him, Xiao Umbrella, Sunset, Yuzu, Allen, and Stateless,..., all of them were bright-eyed and eager to try.
"Of course we are not afraid, OMG has never been afraid of anyone!"
"Well said!"
Others agreed.
The eldest brother continued,
"From the very beginning after knowing the inside story of this plan, I knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, and every one of us in OMG was always preparing for this day, in the game, we won, it was nothing, we trained so hard, not for fun and games, we were for - war.
"Yes, so are we!" Ruofeng nodded loudly, and together with the eldest brother and others, his face showed joy.
――――――――――
The plan that esports elites such as OMG and WE are talking about is exactly what the Dandelion Project is talking about.
What they call up is the call order issued by the PDC human space fleet to the e-sports elites of the "Killing Insects" game, they are actually the backup that Zhang Beihai expects, with the huge base of millions of professional e-sports personnel in the world in today's era, it can be said that it is easy to extract tens of thousands of electronic elites from them.
The Dandelion Project is actually a plan to cultivate the reserve force of the space fleet by promoting e-sports games in human society. At the beginning of the implementation of the plan, almost no one expected him.
The background of this plan is based on the fact that almost all the machines in human society are intelligent machines, and so are all weapons, and the space fleet built on this basis is the culmination of human intelligent control technology. The so-called warplane, driving a battleship, is to a large extent no different from video games, both of which are mainly faced with screens and other auxiliary exchange signals, the only difference is that video games are only virtual sensory stimulation of sound and light, while the actual fleet soldiers are really on the battlefield.
But in fact, even when they appear on the battlefield, the soldiers are wearing thick armor, and almost all sensory signals rely on the indirect input of external devices, and do not directly leak on the battlefield. So, in theory, war in the modern age is no different from video games.
In fact, in the super network real-time strategy game "Killing Insects", due to the development of virtual three-dimensional audio-visual technology, multi-computing technology, real scene reproduction and other technologies, the rapid progress of computer technology has been able to simulate the real battlefield to about 90%. The complexity of the battlefield is due to the large number of participants and the accumulation of computing resources, and its complexity is still higher than that of the real human participation in the Zerg battlefield.
In other words, the theory is that as long as the competitive elite who are used to the game "Killing Insects" can also adapt to real warfare, these game enthusiasts who are ostensibly just playing online games are actually receiving professional killing training. That's why there was such a proposal in the first place.
However, this proposal has not been taken seriously by the PDC Council and the federal leadership, and the generals who have come through the past war years are still not interested in such child's play. Most people insist that only those who come out of traditional barracks training can have the iron nerves that only soldiers have, and even in the future, in the space age, only such fighters can adapt to the battlefield.
These people, unbeknownst to them, are actually in this era, in terms of the degree of gore, in fact, many heavy-tasting online games are more exaggerated than the real battlefield, and modern virtual reproduction technology has also ensured that netizens accept scenes that are not much different from the real scene. The psychological complexity of the new generation of people on the earth, who have grown up under the rapidly developing pluralistic and complex information network, is no longer as simple as it was in peacetime.
