Chapter 5
There are more than hundreds of thousands of known civilizations in the universe, but after thousands of years of conquest, they have been unified into 356 large and small countries. The cultures of the countries of the universe are very close, except for the difference in political systems, there are some strange religious beliefs. In this way, there will be countries that are founded on religion, which of course accounts for only a very small number of countries in the universe. The national political system in the universe is generally divided into: boiled politics, imperial politics, and peculiar clan politics and religious politics. And Tang Long's country is the Wanluo Federal Political Axe of Mingzhu Politics.
A clan state is a country ruled by several surname families or a single surname family, these countries are relatively weak, generally several planets are united, and can also be said to be allies. Although it is a family world, it is different from the imperial state, the power of these countries is held by the family members, and any major matters are discussed and decided by the elders or several family heads, and there is no absolute power of the imperial state. Of course, there are also family members who defeat the rest of the family and thus gain absolute dominance over the country, but in this way the country becomes an imperial state.
Maybe the process of the birth of life in the universe is similar, and there is nothing particularly strange about the human race in the whole universe. If there is a planet that was originally in the age of the ape, after being forced into contact with the developed civilization by the neighboring higher civilizations, it has become a bit of a non-class. Although the theme of the universe is now the equality of life, these apes have also mastered a certain amount of technology. However, because of their own unevolved appearance, they are ridiculed by some developed countries as barbarians, and these so-called barbarians exist in all countries.
Most of these barbarians can only stay on the planet of their origin, working for their own country while slowly evolving. In the Ming Cook country, they are only treated inferiorly, and they still have civil rights. However, in some imperial countries and all clan and religious countries, they are completely in the status of slaves, and they are not even worth as much as a computer.
Don't wonder why slavery still exists in the cosmic age, although the process of cosmic civilization is similar, but the progress of civilization in some countries is slow, and the superstructure has not yet reached the point of destruction. Moreover, because communication technology cannot reach the point of enveloping the whole universe, information in some remote places is still very closed.
Information-rich areas are generally superstructured, so the leadership has a monopoly on the flow of information, which makes it impossible for those people to gain knowledge. In addition, no one will run to those backward places to lead these slaves to rise up and rebel. Of course, even if they want to resist, they can't resist, because the people in power in these countries have the same technology and force as other countries.
Now the countries in the universe are getting along very well with each other, and some countries have even proposed the establishment of a cosmic joint political axe. However, since the emperors of some imperial states were unwilling to give up their power, while some of the Ming boiled states were vying for the leadership of the United Political Axe, and the clan and religious states were not willing to accept other countries at all, the proposal was scrapped.
The population of the known civilization in the entire universe is about 20 trillion, with a total of more than 560 galaxies, and the administrative planets of the entire universe have reached more than hundreds of thousands. Tang Long's Wanluo Federation has 11 galaxies, more than 6,700 large and small administrative planets, and a population of about 3 trillion, which is a medium-sized country among the countries in the universe.
Administrative planets are planets that have had civilizations for a long time, as well as habitable planets where civilizations did not exist before. The Barbarian Ape Star also belongs to the administrative planet. Whether a country is strong or not depends on the number of administrative planets, and planets that are not suitable for human habitation are not administrative stars.
There are simply too many uninhabited planets in each galaxy, the environment is harsh, and only a few are suitable for mining certain materials. Therefore, these unmanned stars are just like the barren mountains and deserts on the planet, and some unmanned satellites will only be used when the war needs them, and no one cares about them in peacetime.
Originally, the administrative planet with several galaxies isolated from the center was difficult for the center to control. However, with the development of science and technology, spaceships and information transmission systems have the function of space jumping. Because this function shortens the distance between the central government and the regions, the country is not divided. And it is impossible to manage such a large population and territory by manpower, so a management system has emerged - intelligent computers. This kind of system has such a set in all countries in the universe, and the difference is only in whether it is strong or not.
While spacecraft and information transmission systems can span hundreds of thousands of light-years in a split second, they are not at stake enough to traverse entire cosmic civilization galaxies. Because technology limits the range of space jumps.
After a spacecraft jumps a certain distance, it has to sail normally for a period of time before it can make the next jump. This jump distance and sailing time are determined by the level of the spaceship. In other words, the higher the level of the spaceship, the farther the jump distance, and the shorter the sailing time to recover the ability to jump.
When the information is transmitted to a limit distance, it will stay in a fixed receiver placed in this place for a moment, and then immediately jump to the next receiver. So usually the information is much faster than the speed of a spaceship. These receivers can be a fist-sized instrument or an entire giant uninhabited planet.
Generally speaking, the receivers in China are all unmanned planets, because the receivers built on unmanned satellites have high power and are relatively stable. After invading an enemy country during a war, the only way to keep in touch with it is to use a small receiver. Because turning the receiver of the enemy's unmanned satellite into your own receiver consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, and it is better to destroy and rebuild it directly. Of course, this can only be done after the end of the war, otherwise it will be destroyed by the enemy just after it was built, which is really a waste.
Of course, don't try to use space jumps to directly enter the territory of another country. Because on the borders between countries, there are spatial barriers that make space jumps ineffective, that is, the so-called border gates. These levels are used not only to intercept the ship, but also to intercept incoming information from the outside. These barriers are generally set up one for each galaxy, and the barriers of the domestic galaxy are generally not used in peacetime, and are only activated in times of war, because this can prevent the enemy from breaking through the border galaxy and driving straight into the heart of the country.
However, in order to exchange information with other countries, an information converter was set up at the checkpoint to receive information, filter it through the converter, and then automatically transmit harmless information into the country. As for the spaceship to enter, it needs to be inspected by the checkpoint personnel, and it can only pass after passing it. Of course, if you attack with a battleship, these levels can't be stopped at all. However, this is an invasion, and the fleet placed near the level will arrive as soon as possible.
The universe is peaceful now, and on the surface it is due to the development of science and technology. Now science and technology have long solved the energy crisis, and also solved the food problem, so to speak, there is nothing to fight for except for the territory. Of course, in addition to territory, precision and rare special ores are also the target of contention, but at this time, countries that do not have some kind of ore buy from countries that have these ores, and they will not use knives and guns.
Although the peace of the universe is the wish of everyone, but among so many people in the universe, there must be some ambitious guys who want to dominate the world in their delusions, and the reason for peace on the surface cannot suppress these careerists at all, and the real reason for peace is that almost all countries have mastered the weapon of terror - the ultimate black hole bomb. Therefore, no idiot would wage war without inventing the technology to resist such weapons.
The ultimate black hole bomb, also known as artificial black hole technology. When using this weapon, it is possible to devour everything within a light-light radius within a second of the weapon's full power. The weapon can also be maintained at maximum power for 10 seconds. This means that an Ultimate Black Hole Bullet, after being used, can devour all objects for 10 light-years. According to scientists' calculations using computers, when 10 high-powered ultimate black hole bombs detonate simultaneously or in batches within a diameter of 100 light-years, there will be a chain effect, resulting in an eternal and expanding black hole, and eventually swallowing up the entire universe.
While no idiot would detonate 10 Ultimate Black Hole Bombs in a row within 100 light years, what if there really was an idiot who thought that only he could detonate the Ultimate Black Hole Bomb? Or is there a situation where you have to let it go? For this terrible reason, the universe has always relied on this sword hanging overhead to maintain a semblance of peace. And now the national scope of the universe was determined after the creation of this weapon.
But this delicate peace was suddenly destroyed by a fool.
"Hahaha, I'm in the middle of the scheme, surround me and destroy them!" Tang Long stepped on the chair of the command tower and ordered his subordinates triumphantly. He has millions of warships under his command in the game, and he is a commander who has experienced nearly 10,000 battles. Now that his main ship level has reached the top Z-level, watching tens of thousands of crew members busy around him, Tang Long really forgot that he was in the game.
The learning in the game for several months is like this: the robot instructor first taught him some strategies and combat examples, of course, Tang Long did not understand this guy. After learning the theory, the instructor who played the enemy began to use these tactics and battle examples to lay out Tang Long's way in the game. Of course, the instructor who became Tang Long's subordinate would guide Tang Long to deal with these situations. I don't know if Tang Long is a genius or if he is stained with the light of the game, Tang Long, who originally didn't know anything, was able to fight back victoriously according to the instructor's hope.
In addition to teaching Tang Long all the strategy and command knowledge recorded in history, the instructors also taught Tang Long a lot of knowledge about personnel management and organizational building. Since these machine instructors are all equipped with intelligent computers, and the things in their minds include almost everything in the history of the universe, the knowledge taught to Tang Long is the most classic and useful.
Tang Long had long forgotten what the purpose of learning these things was, he just wanted to concentrate on his studies so that he could get good grades in the game. But also because of this, not only did I quickly master what the instructor taught, but I also learned and used the money management knowledge taught by the game bootstrapper. Because Tang Long knew that without money in the game, he couldn't strengthen the army and change equipment, of course, he had to master it.
However, what made the green light in the instructors' eyes turn into yellow light was that although Tang Long performed very well on the battlefield of the game, he was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say when he asked him to say what tactics and methods he used after the war. When asked him what was going on, Tang Long would only scratch his head and say, "How do I know what method I used, I just intuitively think that I can defeat the enemy by doing this." The instructor can only lament that Tang Long is a single cell!
Tang Long finally didn't have to fight with the chief instructor today, and he was finally free to choose his opponent to increase his score. Although Tang Long is powerful, the machine instructor is even more powerful, and he started a war with the machine instructor, and lost 6 out of 10 games. If it weren't for the desperate search for an opponent to start a battle during the break, Tang Long's ranking could only be ranked fourth.
Tang Long happily looked at the group of enemies who had fallen into the trap and were about to be surrounded by his own fleet, and he raised his right hand high and was about to give the order to fire. Just as the hand was about to be waved, a red alarm suddenly sounded in the conning tower. The virtual soldiers were running around in a hurry. At this time, a virtual adjutant hurriedly ran over and saluted, and said in an eager tone: "Sir, the enemy has used the ultimate black hole bomb!" It is expected to explode in our center in five minutes. ”
Tang Long, who was still sighing at those virtual soldiers with rich expressions, was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground in fright. Tang Long jumped to his feet and shouted, "What? The ultimate black hole bullet? The ultimate black hole bomb worth 100 billion yuan?! The virtual lieutenant looked stunned when he heard this, and then nodded violently. The popularity of the game is largely due to the fact that the NPCs in the game will have an emotional system to match the player's words and deeds. As a result, many players almost can't tell where is real and where is virtual.
The people of the whole universe knew what the ultimate black hole bomb was, so some players in Tang Long's fleet sent messages to ask for instructions, and of course, more players escaped with space jumps without asking for instructions. A lot of points are deducted for dying once in the game, and these players who value their lives as high and low as they would in the real world behaved in the same way as they would in the real world.
Tang Long completely ignored the instructions of those subordinates, he was looking at the icon showing the enemy on the screen and regretted: "They can actually get this random weapon, it's really envious, that's 100 billion!" If I sell it, how many warships can I buy......"
At this time, the virtual adjutant anxiously urged: "Sir, there is only one minute, please make a decision quickly, the other fleets have escaped!" Tang Long came to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around, and found that the fleet group that was still densely clinging to him just now was gone, and now only his own main ship was left alone.
Seeing this, Tang Long couldn't help but jump to his feet and scolded: "Fuck! These bastards with scores and no chiefs! He left me, the commander, and ran away! Damn, use the black hole solver for me! After Tang Long finished speaking angrily, he snorted a few times: "Hmph! Don't these fools know that Z-class warships have a program to crack the ultimate black hole bomb? It's a great sin to get away with it. Tang Long began to imagine how to punish those players' subordinates afterwards.
With Tang Long's order, the virtual soldiers on the battleship were busy again, and after a while, several huge main guns of the battleship began to fire, and several rays of light shot towards the virtual ultimate black hole bullet flying in the distance. The Ultimate Black Hole Bomb first exploded, and then produced a black hole hundreds of kilometers in size, but when it began to prepare for infinite expansion, it inhaled those rays of light, and then the black hole suddenly disappeared with a head and no tail, as if it had never appeared.
At this moment, Tang Long waved his hand and ordered: "Assault!" All missiles are fired, artillery is fired, and all fighters are dispatched! "He wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, in fact, Tang Long's flagship can be said to be the only Z-class battleship in the game, if it weren't for the promotion of those players who call him big brother to upgrade the level, Tang Long would have done it alone with the enemy. His top-tier battleship definitely has this ability.
The group of players who had originally expected to defeat the largest legion and obtain a huge score reward suddenly fell into the abyss from joy, and before they could organize a rebellion, they were thrown into the battle by Tang Long. With powerful and invincible artillery fire, saturated and numerous missiles, tens of thousands of fighters, and a flawless protective shield, Tang Long, who has these dependents, is simply like a tiger entering a flock. In just a few moments, this fleet was wiped out by Tang Long.
The game chain will broadcast some of the biggest and most spectacular battles on a giant screen for guests to enjoy as they wait for their empty planes to go online. Therefore, the whole universe is ready to play this game and the people who pass by to see the excitement have seen this spectacular scene. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, the young players watched in a daze as the points under the name of 23tl continued to soar, and the older players of a certain age were shocked beyond their control. Because they all know when they play this game, the slogan shouted by the game is equivalent to reality, that is, what kind of effect will be produced in the game, and the same effect can be produced in reality. That terrifying ultimate black hole bullet was destroyed by a few white lights in the game, so according to that slogan, will this effect also appear in reality?
After Tang Long eliminated the enemy fleet, he stood on the command platform, holding the back of his head with one hand and his stomach with the other, twisting his ass and dancing. This is his habitual action after victory, and it is a habit he developed when he used to play fighter fighting. And those virtual soldiers who were originally very cooperative surprisingly stayed at their posts and didn't see it.
The 'she' who manages this game was originally very keen to correct the game, and when Tang Long appeared in this action, she also wanted those virtual soldiers to react accordingly. But she searched all over the universe, and she didn't find any movement of the soldier when the commander did this. She couldn't help but feel distressed, because whether it was clapping, or stupid, or jumping, it didn't match the style of the army. She had no choice but to let those virtual soldiers dance when Tang Long didn't see them.
Tang Long didn't jump for long, he was surrounded by countless player subordinates who ran back to slap their ass, all asking how to solve the terrifying ultimate black hole bomb. This is the mass psychology of gamers who want to learn tricks, and of course, there are some people who have a heart and ask with ulterior motives.
Tang Long, who originally wanted to pull his face, was slapped for a while, and his mood was already refreshed. As soon as he was complacent, he announced the resolution procedure for solving the ultimate black hole bomb. This program was spread on the Internet and immediately attracted the attention of everyone who cares. After countless research experiments by top scientists, all those who saw the results were overjoyed.
It didn't take long for the major newspapers and websites of various countries to publish these headlines in large numbers: The day has finally come when the ultimate black hole bomb of horror will become waste; The great contribution of the game "War" - particles recover light, the terminator of black holes; The dark clouds that have enveloped the universe have finally dissipated......
As these news spread, the ambitions that had been suppressed by the ultimate black hole bomb lost their shackles and began to stir. However, after the news that made the universe boil spread, the leading newspapers and websites in many countries made advertisements in prominent places: "So-and-so company invites "War" gamers 23tl, 23-3c41, 23-3c42...... If you want to develop a game with our company, please contact us as soon as possible after seeing this news. And there are many generous conditions listed later. These invitations from countless companies have swept almost all the top 10,000 players in the various charts of War.
The rankings include total score rankings, combat merit rankings, logistics management rankings, and in short, in reality, there are rankings for which people need to manage positions to start a war.
At first, people didn't know what was going on, but after some small countries that couldn't hire a single person began to get anxious, it dawned on them. Because these small countries blatantly posted such a message: "My country invites "War" gamers 23tl, 23-3c41, 23-3c42...... Wait for others to come to their own country to take up official positions! I would like to confer the rank of major general or above or the post of political axe above the ministerial level! At this time, sensitive people found out from the previous newspapers that not long after the news of the solution to the ultimate black hole bomb appeared, countries with weak countries around them began to mobilize their armies to deploy on the border. At this moment, only one thought flashed into everyone's minds: "War is coming!" ”
No one would think that the country that does this is stupid, because anyone who has played the game of War knows that the war in it is exactly like the real thing, that is, everyone on the leaderboard has the ability to command fleets and manage institutions. Moreover, a few months ago, there were several news reports that General XX praised the "War" game as a good place to exercise the ability of civil and military officials.
At that time, there was also a sensational report: in order to achieve the training effect, the commander of a certain country's fleet entered the "War" game with tens of thousands of subordinates. This fleet with unified control is invincible, and in a few days, it took them to the top of the list of the fastest upgrades. Unfortunately, after encountering the combined legions of 23TL and 23-3C41, they were completely wiped out. Afterwards, the commander of the fleet of that country left a message saying that even on the real battlefield, he would be defeated.
In fact, all [***] departments have been paying close attention to the "War" game for a long time, because they found that there are some very exemplary examples in the "War" game, which are very suitable for tactical and strategic teaching materials. Some countries even incorporate some of the combat examples in the game into the curriculum of military academies, and also transfer the assessment process of the academy to the assessment in the game "War". Because of this, the intelligence ministries of various countries have stepped up the search for the president of the "war" game company, and they have also spent a huge amount of manpower to find the real identity of the top six players on the leaderboard, because those classic battles were played by these six people. And the Ministry of Intelligence attaches the most importance to the first 23tl, because this person, in addition to his outstanding military management skills, has also issued a particle recovery light program to destroy black holes! Unfortunately, it is also gratifying that none of the countries have declared the allegiance of these six men.
As the days passed, and although no country had started a war, anyone could feel a tense atmosphere spreading throughout the universe. More and more players on the WAR game leaderboards are revealing who they really are and which country they are loyal to. Only then did everyone find out that many of these players were serving officers, and of course there were some ordinary hairy boys. Since the game of "War" has almost become a tool for countries to select talents, countless people have poured into this game, which has also made the game terminal begin to crash for the first time, and for the first time, it has also begun to divide into countries for the first time. A financial newspaper once reported that if the "War" game company went public, it could become the number one company in the universe in an instant. However, for unknown reasons, the company's top management has no intention of going public at all. That is, the company is privately owned.
As the players who appeared higher and higher on the leaderboard, the newspapers around the world became more and more popular. People's eyes are on the top 6 players on the list with the prefix 23, and the price of inviting these six people is getting higher and higher, and even countries that award the rank of marshal have appeared. However, these six mysterious players ignored these messages and disappeared from the game of War. The news that it was suspected that the six of them were in a gang became even more popular. Of course, there are also doubtful people who suspect that these six people have been recruited into the army by a certain country, and they are all secretly afraid of the hidden abilities of these six strange characters, so the war has not yet broken out. But the rope of peace is getting tighter and thinner.
In fact, Tang Long didn't know the news from the outside at all, and he didn't know that he was so expected by the world, he has now left the game of "War" and has restarted his hard physical training career.
"! When I was about to sweep the world, I said that the training ended early, and I had to carry dozens of pounds of things on my back to learn rabbit jumping! Tang Long was wearing a weight-bearing coat and jumping forward around the corner of the 23rd regiment hall with his hands behind his back. Seeing the snow white all around, he couldn't help but scolded again: "Grandma, why don't you make a virtual scene?" Not to mention engaging some beauties around shouting cheers, at least you should have a charming idyllic scenery. Seeing such a white scene, I only jumped a few hundred steps before I became dizzy. ”
When he jumped into a room with a curse, he turned his head and spat on the door, "Shit! These perverted guys actually want me to jump 10 kilometers in such a boring scene, isn't it killing me? Bah! Tang Long spat again, looked up at the white ceiling and sighed: "Alas, I thought that there were more than one million under the command of Ben Shuai back then, but I didn't expect it to end up like this, alas, ......" Although he sighed, Tang Long still beat forward with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, in the room covered with saliva, the five robot instructors stood still in a daze, of course they were talking: "I didn't expect Tang Long to master the ability of strategy and command so quickly, it seems that the game can really train people." ”
"But it's a pity, it would be ideal if Tang Long practiced in the game for a while longer."
"Well, who told the Federation Army to fight the idea of the six of us, there is no way."
"Let's listen to our friends, and don't enter the game again. According to our friends, the number of hacker attacks has increased almost exponentially during this time, and they are all hacker groups with organized surnames. It is certain that the countries of the universe have assigned it in order to find out our user profile. ”
"That's right, if you play a game that is equivalent to the real thing for a long time, you won't be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy, and it's best to leave early. I've heard that many young people are now suffering from paranoia, and I'm worried about whether Tang Long will be like this. ”
"It was for this reason that I ordered Tang Long to do physical exercise as soon as he came out. Under such heavy practice, I think Tang Long's mind has returned to real life again, right? ”
"It seems that the game of War needs to be modified appropriately, so that players can clearly understand that they are in the game." The chief instructor chimed in.
"Hehe, these are going to be modified by our friends. Tang Long's guy actually unintentionally released the program to eliminate the black hole, thus confusing the peaceful situation in the universe. It seems that Tang Long's time has come for him to make a big difference. ”
"Yes, the peace of the universe for more than a hundred years is about to disappear. I have known for a long time that this kind of peace, which is based on the weapon of terror, the ultimate black hole bomb, cannot last at all. ”
"Yay? Since war is about to appear, why hide Tang Long's true identity? Some countries are willing to give Marshal Tang Long the rank of military rank! ”
"Tang Long, this guy is too young, and if he is allowed to ascend to the sky in one step, it will be detrimental to his future development in terms of personality and ability. There is no outstanding general who has not climbed up step by step from the grassroots level of soldiers, and without this level of experience, it is impossible to become an outstanding soldier. ”
"Time is running out, the wiring in our body is seriously aging, and the fixed energy in our body is running out. What else was not taught to Tang Long? "The chief instructor spoke.
"Now all that's left is the real existential crisis." A machine instructor replied.
"Well, although Tang Long can't say anything about strategy and command ability, he does master this knowledge, and it will be up to him to use it freely in the future. Okay, let's teach Tang Long one last lesson. ”
The robots all snapped and saluted, "Yes!" ”
