Chapter IV
"Grandma, a bear! I'll flash and I'll flash again......" Tang Long sat in a simulator with a holographic helmet, holding the control handle of the plane with both hands, and his body swayed with the swing of the body. He's using his break to play a game.
The body shook suddenly, and Tang Long clenched his fists from top to bottom, "Yay! Then he stretched out his middle finger in the air in front of him, and scolded in a very dragging tone: "Damn, haven't you chased me cool these days?" Now drag it to me, hahahaha......" Before he could finish scolding, his body stiffened suddenly. He suddenly hugged his helmeted head and shouted frantically, "Is this true? You didn't lie to me, did you? …… Wow! Great! I've been upgraded to S-Rank! yes yes yes! After Tang Long finished speaking, he stood up, and regardless of whether he was in the cockpit, he raised his hands and twisted his ass and danced.
At this moment, in the 23rd regiment, the only instructor lounge that Tang Long had never broken into, the five robot instructors of ** were full of threads and stood motionless. Behind them was a large row of instruments, and the signal lights on the instruments were constantly flashing.
The robot standing in a convex shape did not move, and the green light in its eyes disappeared, but their conversation continued. This is talking directly through the computer.
"Why did Tang Long, this stupid guy suddenly dance?" From this sentence, it can be guessed that the movements of the entire 23 regiment are under the supervision of these machine instructors.
"Don't even know that? Didn't he say that his level became S-class? ”
"Oh, that space fighter fighting game that Tang Long played. But I'm very strange, what's so fun about the game, Tang Long actually runs to play whenever he has time, and he can't even sleep. Like the last time I was training in live ammunition evasion, I was shot by a laser in my legs, but as soon as I stopped bleeding, I limped and ran to play. ”
"Humph! Playthings are demoralized! It's just because he's always addicted to games, and he hasn't learned these aspects well in strategy and command. ”
"Hehe, but because of the game, his martial arts, the piloting of space fighters, and the use of weapons, these achievements can catch up with us."
"What's the use of that! Learning these is not the most important thing to be a good soldier! We want him to be an outstanding soldier, a soldier who commands a great army! Without strategy and command skills, he can only be a soldier forever! ”
"But no matter what method we use, that guy Tang Long can't listen to the knowledge of strategy and command. That guy would rather go a day without eating, and would rather be whipped a few times than memorize that knowledge. ”
At this time, the signal light on the instrument went out, and the eyes of the five robots lit up green at the same time. The robot standing in the first place pulled out the thread on his body and said: "This is our negligence, Tang Long's thinking belongs to a single cell, that is to say, he has to practice through his body in order to master knowledge." These knowledge, such as strategy, command, etc., are completely ideological and theoretical, how do you tell him to master them? ”
At this time, a robot next to him asked suspiciously: "But now there is no war in the Federation at all, and it is impossible for our base to configure warships, and the virtual program is not advanced enough to outline a simulated battle." Even if it is simulated, it is useless, the real enemy is people, people who can't even analyze what will happen next even on an intelligent computer. The simulators of these military bases can only do some kind of desert, wilderness, and terrorist combat battlefields. ”
"Yes, there is too much data in space warfare, and it is impossible to simulate a battle with a computer." Another robot also said as he pulled out the thread.
"As I just said, even if the simulation is useless, the main thing is that the computer cannot be compared with the real human brain, and the results of such training are completely useless on the real battlefield!" The second robot who spoke just now was busy.
The chief instructor had already removed the thread and began to put on his military uniform, and as he put it on, he said, "This can be solved through the Internet." ”
Immediately, an instructor interjected: "Like the online fighting that Tang Long played? But now the most advanced network terminals can only support one million users at the same time, and an ordinary fleet has hundreds of thousands of people, so what's the use? ”
The chief instructor ignored it and continued, "Our friends and I have invented a terminal capable of supporting 1 billion people at the same time, and it can also receive information from the entire universe simultaneously. As he spoke, he passed the information in his head to the other robot instructors.
At this time, a robot instructor asked, "What's the use of making such a powerful network terminal?" Aren't we talking about Tang Long's training? How did you get to this point? ”
"When our friend and I were developing this terminal, we also developed a game called War. ”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted: "Oh, it turns out that I used this game to teach Tang Long, hehe, so that the enemy is also a real person, and this is a game, Tang Long will also be very enthusiastic to learn." ”
The leader instructor nodded: "That's right, this game can reorganize the real cosmic war." Except that there is no real death and no real material loss, everything is exactly the same as it really is. ”
It's a pity that his words were interrupted again: "But even if we have this game and this terminal, how can we find so many people to play?" It's impossible for us to make a release! ”
When the chief instructor was about to say something, a voice with a female surname and a somewhat synthetic feeling sounded: "Hehe, this is no problem, I can form a company." ”
The robot didn't make much of a fuss about the sudden sound, and the robot that spoke only asked strangely, "Form a company?" That's money. ”
The female voice continued: "It's simple, just apply for an account, and then embezzle a little public money? ”
"Oh, I forgot that you are in charge of the finances of the entire federation, but there is still a problem, you need an ID card to apply for an account number, and you also need an ID card to apply for starting a company, do you have one? Or are you going to make up a fictional one? ”
"It's not simple, this terminal and the company are all for training Tang Long, can't you just use his ID card." The female voice said flatly. Because of this sentence, Tang Long inexplicably owned an online game company, the first in history to cover the entire universe. Because of this sentence, Tang Long became a soldier who had never been seen before or since, and had invested the most in recruit training expenses.
The robot didn't give up and continued to ask, "How to solve the company's address and employees?" ”
The female voice was obviously impatient, and the synthesized metal voice had a puffy change: "With money, everything is not solved, you must know that I control all the computer agencies in the Federation, these little things." ”
The boss robot then spoke: "Our friend, how are you going to get started?" ”
The female voice laughed: "First use Tang Long's ID card to apply for a bank account, then allocate some money to go in, then apply to open a company, then recruit personnel, and then let these personnel go to other countries to apply for companies, and finally release that terminal and the whole universe of the game simultaneously." Okay, I'm not going to tell you, I'm going to work on something fun for the first time in hundreds of years. The female voice disappeared.
At this point, a robot said to the boss robot, "How did this friend of ours become weird?" Like a little human girl. ”
"Because she's been so close to a human for the first time in hundreds of years, and for the first time in hundreds of years she's done things with her feelings," said the Instructor Chief, "and she's now curious and excited, according to humans. After speaking, the chief instructor snapped and straightened up, and said coldly: "Okay, repair each." Tomorrow I have to exercise Tang Long. The four robots hurriedly snapped and stood up and saluted and said, "Yes!" "And Tang Long, who doesn't know how to die at the moment, is continuing to pursue upgrades.
Tang Long knew that he was going to be unlucky again today, and in the past few months, every time he saw the instructor holding a whip in his hand, he knew that it was the training of strategy and command ability. Tang Long was puzzled, he was just an infantryman, and it was reasonable to say that he could learn those fighting and spy skills, but weren't these strategic skills only opened in the staff training camp?
Tang Long, who was unwilling to let his brain cells die anymore, immediately voiced his doubts, and the result in exchange was three lashes and the instructor's cold words: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Don't you want to be a general? The instructor's green eyes were all staring at Tang Long at this time.
Tang Long, who had been whipped three times and was like no one, immediately said loudly with both legs: "I want to be a marshal!" ”
It could be found that the green light in the robot's eyes suddenly shrank when Tang Long said this, but it soon shone brightly again. The chief instructor picked up the whip and patted it on the palm of his hand, and said coldly: "Since your goal is to become a marshal, then you must work hard to learn command ability, with your current command ability, you may not even be able to command alone!" ”
Tang Long first answered loudly, and then said to the chief instructor with a bitter face: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to study hard, but when I see those words, I will be dizzy, and I can't even read it, let alone study." ”
The instructor ignored him, and said coldly with both legs: "From now to the end of the training, in addition to continuing to exercise physically, Private Tang Long will spend the rest of his time on strategic command learning!" He turned around and left.
Tang Long shouted for help in his heart, but his face was still calm, he just stood in a daze and didn't follow behind the instructor. At this time, an instructor standing beside him kicked him fiercely and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Come on! ”
Tang Long, who sighed for his life, hung his head and followed the instructor, and only after stopping did he find that he had come to the recreation room. Although Tang Long was strange, he didn't speak, just looked at those game consoles pitifully, secretly feeling pitiful for them. Tang Long thought that the instructor was going to destroy these things.
The chief instructor came to the base of a wall, and at this moment the wall suddenly parted, revealing a room of more than ten square meters, and six shiny round cabins arranged in the room.
Tang Long couldn't go back with his mouth open, he didn't know that there was this place after staying in this entertainment room for a few months, it seemed that the spy course he learned not long ago was thrown away!
"Tang Long!" Hearing his name, Tang Long's conditioned reflex responded, "Yes!" ”
The leader instructor nodded very satisfied with Tang Long's reaction, pointed to the round cabin and said: "This is the latest online game simulator, the name of the game is "War", and you will learn strategy and command in the game in the next few months. ”
Tang Long, who was originally weak, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and eagerly threw himself next to a round cabin and stroked it. While looking for the button to open the door, he asked, "Big brother, I haven't seen this thing, how do you use it?" Also What is that War? New to the market? …… Yes! Damn! Tang Long, who got carried away, suddenly screamed.
Tang Long grinned his teeth and touched his buttocks, which had been cracked by the electric whip, and was about to turn around and scold, but found that the five instructors were all looking at him gloomily, and those swear words came to his throat and then swallowed back into his stomach.
The chief instructor's eyes shone brightly, and he said viciously, "What was your name just now?" Eldest brother? Do you think this is the underworld? As he spoke, he whipped again.
Tang Long remembered that he had forgotten for a moment and said the popular name he had used to chat on the Internet before joining the army, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Sir, I'm sorry, I want to know how to play with this thing, I said the wrong thing in a hurry, please punish the sir!" "Gritted his teeth and was whipped twice. Because Tang Long has mastered the robot's surname in the past few months, as long as he apologizes and says that he knows that he made a mistake, the punishment will soon become very light.
Sure enough, when the leader robot heard this, he stopped whipping, and coldly pointed to the circular cabin that suddenly opened the door and said, "Go inside, and the computer will naturally instruct you how to do it." ”
Tang Long, who had long wanted to enjoy the new gadgets, also forgot to scold the robot angrily in his heart, and immediately got into the circular cabin after saluting. Tang Long found that there was nothing inside except for a very comfortable driver's chair, a holographic helmet, and a set of electronic gloves. Tang Long couldn't help but look around and muttered to himself: "Strange, there is only a helmet and electronic gloves, how to play this game?" ”
At this time, the door slowly began to close back, and Tang Long found that the five instructors were already sitting in the other five cabins with helmets on. "Wouldn't it? Are those chiefs going to play games too? Tang Long leaned at the door and probed his brain to himself.
After a while, the door closed, and it was dark all around, so that you could not see your fingers. If Tang Long had been screaming in panic before, Tang Long, who had been in the Grim Reaper game "Fear" for a month, of course groped his way on the chair and put on his helmet and gloves casually.
As soon as he put on the helmet, Tang Long knew that this helmet was different from other holographic helmets, not to mention the metal that clinged to the whole part of the head, but the style of the helmet was also different, not only much larger, but also much lighter.
After Tang Long took it, it was still dark in front of him, and he couldn't help but curse and fumble on the helmet, he wanted to find the switch. It's a pity that there is not a single button on the outside of the helmet except for countless wires connected to it. Just as he was about to scold, a light slowly appeared in his eyes, and it took a while for Tang Long to find himself in the universe, surrounded by stars, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
"Whew, it's really fascinating, I didn't expect to be able to develop such a realistic visual experience, it seems that I haven't been in contact with the outside world for a few months, and the game's technology has developed by leaps and bounds." Tang Long sighed for a long time. He's played so many games that he's never seen such a perfect view, so it's no wonder he's amazed.
At this time, a sweet computer-synthesized voice came into my ears: "Welcome to this game, the scene of this game is space warfare, this game rarely controls manually, most of it relies on your brain waves to complete every command." You are a first-time visitor, so please enter the name of the game. ”
Tang Long stared blankly at the appearance of a keyboard and a screen in front of him. However, Tang Long, who was used to playing games, immediately typed the name "23tl" on the keyboard with his hand with electronic gloves, which was his login name when playing games in this 23 group. After pressing the OK button, a huge battleship appeared in front of me. The picture that was as realistic as the real one made Tang Long's eyes widen.
At this time, the synthetic female voice continued: "This is your battleship, 500 meters long and 150 meters wide, with 20 main guns and 100 secondary guns, no missiles, no fighters. The crew is 2,000 people, and the class is C. ”
Tang Long originally looked at the battleship in front of him obsessively, and listened in a daze, but after hearing these numbers, he immediately croaked: "Is there a mistake!" C-class battleships are in these configurations? The C-class warships of the Federal Army are several kilometers long, with tens of thousands of crews, thousands of main gun fighters, and tens of thousands of missiles! How do you set your level here? Tang Long just shouted to himself angrily, not expecting the computer to answer at all.
But what surprised Tang Long happened, the computer's synthesis voice actually laughed coquettishly: "Hehe, the level of this game is set like this, the A-class battleship is the lowest, and the Z-class battleship is the highest." The length of the Z-class warships is more than ten kilometers long, and the main guns and fighters are tens of thousands. Ah, I almost forgot, there is also this game that can support 1 billion users online at the same time, and our terminals can be said to be all over the universe, which means that there are 1 billion users from all over the world online. Each user has only one battleship, so you can fight in teams, and if you're good, you can command tens of millions of ships. ”
Tang Long was so shocked when he heard this that he didn't know what to say, he was a fan of the Internet, and it was great to be able to support a terminal that could support one million users online at the same time, but the game speed was very slow, and it had to be partitioned. But now listening to the tone of the computer, it seems that 1 billion people can be online in the same area, and now I don't feel any slow action in this game at all, both the picture and the voice are so real, it's like I'm in the real world.
Because Tang Long was attracted by these, he didn't notice the voice of this synthetic computer at all, and he actually answered his questions, and his tone seemed to have feelings like a human. And those words that introduce the game system, they are usually said at the beginning, and they don't make up for it halfway through as if they suddenly remembered. Tang Long, a single cell, will not think of other aspects even if he notices something wrong, he will only think that this game setting is very powerful.
In fact, in front of other gamers, the bootstrap program of this "War" is very normal, and only Tang Long's six machines will be a little abnormal. The reason is simple, the machine instructor's friend, the Federal Computer, plays the role of these six bootloaders.
At this moment, Tang Long was already in the conning tower of the C-class battleship, and he was touching those virtual machines while looking at the busy virtual crew members around the conning tower. Whether it's the touch or the sight, it all feels real, too real.
At this time, BBB's voice suddenly sounded, and a virtual officer ran forward and saluted Tang Long: "Sir, there is a signal to contact, can I answer?" ”
Tang Long looked at the officer who was the same as a real person blankly, and suddenly with a wow, he reached out to touch it, but he touched it. At this time, the computer-synthesized voice sounded again: "Hehe, don't touch the virtual soldiers, be careful that they rebel and kill you." If the ship is destroyed, or the player is killed, even if the game is over, points will be deducted. In the future, all contact players and inquire about the status of the game will be carried out in this control tower. ”
These words made Tang Long so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, he was most afraid of the word deduction. At this time, the officer asked again, and Tang Long hurriedly said, "Well, take it in." But in his heart, he muttered: "This game is so well designed, isn't it very easy to sell?" ”
Five stereoscopic images suddenly appeared on the screen of the battleship, which made Tang Long scream, because it was the images of the five robot instructors. Tang Long's conditioned reflex stood up and saluted: "Hello, sir!" ”
The five robots also reflexively replied, and then the robot instructor in the middle said, "Tang Long, now start the training of strategy and command." In order for you to be able to master these abilities more realistically, we will divide them into two sides and use every means to defeat each other. I'm in a faction with the other two instructors, and you and the other two instructors are in a faction. From now on I 23-3c41 and 23-3c42 and 23-3c43 will be your enemies. Please do it yourself. As he spoke, the images of the three instructors disappeared.
While Tang Long was still stunned, the remaining two instructors saluted Tang Long and said, "23-3c44 and 23-3c45 will be under the command of Chief 23tl from now on!" ”
Tang Long was stunned at first, but when he heard this, he hurriedly jumped: "Listen to my command?" You call me sir? The two robots nodded and said, "In this game, you are our commander, and you will lead us to destroy those people, and we will assist you in learning the ability to strategize and command." ”
Tang Long waved his hand with joy when he heard these words: "I order, you will join me immediately." Seeing those two robots standing upright and saluting and leaving with their mouths calling for obedience, not to mention how happy Tang Long felt in his heart, can he be unhappy to see these chiefs who bully him all day long and call themselves chiefs? Tang Long had already made up his mind that he must defeat the other three instructors and make them bow down.
Just as Tang Long was uncontrollably ready to laugh, the computer's synthetic voice came again: "Don't be too happy, the battleship that comes over in the future may be an assassin sent by the enemy, and when your troops are strong, you also have to distribute duties, such as army control, logistics support, enemy situation monitoring, warship maintenance and management, and a lot of tedious things, this game is not just about fighting." ”
"Ahh Is there still so much trouble? Tang Long, who was accustomed to finding the enemy and starting to fight, was shocked, and when he asked what to do with the computer, the computer that was originally very good at talking suddenly fell silent, and he only said when he was in a hurry: "Don't ask the computer about everything, these only ask your teammates!" Tang Long had no choice but to pout and say stingy.
The virtual online game "War", because of its realistic graphics and settings, as well as a very free control system, swept the entire cosmic civilization in a short period of time, and almost everyone knows this game. Newspapers around the world have published this unrivalled terminal system in large headlines. The powerful functions of the system not only shocked the world, but also attracted the attention of some interested people. Because this is the first system that can envelop the entire universe, although the current communication is very fast, it is within the country, and the connection between countries still needs to be connected through a complex information exchange system.
At first, these well-intentioned people were just political axes and businessmen from various countries and some hackers. It's a pity that hackers can't attack this system after spending countless skills, and they have no choice but to announce to the world that the security level of this system is superb! As a result, the military of various countries and various forces hiding behind the scenes are watching this system. However, the good news is that these people cannot find the owner who developed this system by any means, only that the system was designed by the president of the company, and the name of the president is a mystery, and no employee has ever seen this president. When the various forces could not find their target, they had to slow down.
The most cutting-edge Bone Dragon Cloud galaxy of the Federation, the skeleton can be on the planet. In a city in a "war" game chain. Countless circular cabins are arranged in large halls, and due to the popularity of the game of War, there are only a handful of cities without this game.
At this time, the door of a cabin opened widely, and a tall woman with blond hair in a well-fitting military uniform walked out, she kicked the cabin fiercely with her military boots, and scolded angrily: "Damn! Defeated by him again! ”
The five or six cabins beside her also opened at this time, and the people who came out were all beautiful women in military uniforms, and after they came out, they all gathered around the blonde woman with an angry face. At this time, a woman with the rank of lieutenant on her shoulder said to the blonde woman: "Sir, don't be angry, with our strength, it is normal to be completely wiped out by the 23TL Legion." ”
The other female soldiers also said nonsense: "That's right, that 23TL Legion has millions of warships, how can we fight these few warships, only the 23-3C41 Legion can match him." Why don't we join this legion next time? "That 23-3C41 and 23TL seem to be in the same group, last time the two legions teamed up to destroy the largest fleet not long ago." "Really, why do the top few on the list have a 23 in their names?"
At this time, the lieutenant realized that his commander did not seem to be angry about losing the battle, so he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you know the man named 23tl?" ”
The blonde officer raised his head and pulled his hair down, revealing a beautiful face, but that look gave people the impression that this beauty was very strong. At this moment, you can see the rank of major hanging prominently on her slender shoulders, as well as the armband of the fighter pilot on her arm. She shook her head and said in a lost tone, "I was shot down by a guy named 23TL a few months ago while playing Space Fighter Combat Battles. ”
These words made the group of female soldiers exclaim, and the lieutenant was even more shocked and asked, "Sir, you are the youngest ace pilot of the Federal Army, and you were actually shot down?" Could this 23TL be the ace driver of other countries? ”
The major beauty continued to shake her head: "I play domestic net, I can conclude that he is not a driver, because when he first started, he didn't have any special skills, and I easily shot down several times." But then his skills became more and more sophisticated, and I was far behind him in just a few days, but he never appeared again after he knocked me out. The next time I saw the name was in this WAR game. ”
The lieutenant beauty knew why in the past few months, the commander had pulled a large number of people to play this game whenever he was free, and she asked with a smile: "Sir, have you contacted him?" Is the leader of this 23TL regiment the one who shot you down? Could it be a mistake? ”
The major beauty gritted her teeth when she said this: "It's him!" I spoke to him by voice, and as soon as he saw my code name, he shouted that he had lost his men and boasted about shooting me down. But when I challenged him, he smiled and refused on the grounds that he didn't have time to play these things. He didn't give me a chance to take revenge at all! Damn it! As he spoke, he kicked the cabin next to him again.
When the lieutenant beauty heard the words of shouting and boasting, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "So that 23tl is still a child?" It's not that children don't know how to do these things. She looked at the puffed chief and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This commander is so strong, but fortunately he was defeated in the game, if he is shot down on the battlefield, can he still have a chance to think about revenge?" ”
The female soldiers saw that the major and the beautiful woman were busy stepping forward to comfort her, and scolded that 23tl was not a thing, that she was a coward who actually refused the opponent's challenge, and that she didn't need to have the same knowledge as him, and so on. The major beauty raised her head and glared fiercely at the words written on the first line of the leaderboard on the screen in the hall - the one with the highest war merit: 23tl, the main ship rank Y, and the 3,542,345 warships under his command. couldn't help but snort coldly: "Let me know who you are, you are good-looking!" Go, go back. As he spoke, he took a beautiful female soldier and left the game hall under the gaze of many men.
