In order to solve this problem, Zhou Heng began to consider the problem of cutting personnel. Some of these people have been removed from their superpowers to do some research and logistics, some of them have been sent back to fantasy world to continue colonization, and some have been repatriated home - but for the sake of secrecy, their memories have been erased after consulting themselves.

However, in contrast, the NSA side is more troublesome.

At first, Zhou Heng's plan was for these people to be laid off according to the standards of the executive department; Even the part that remains, because it is impossible to send it to the Atlas Colony, will not continue to use the rule protection, but will try to use the 'Mist of Chaos' to protect them with the rules. 'Mist of Chaos' is supplemented by matching magic, which can have a similar effect to the protection of rules, and has recently been improved, this kind of magic will no longer pollute the user's mind, nor will it disperse black smoke everywhere like a chimney, although there is a prerequisite for believing in chaos, but it is obviously much more convenient than Zhou Heng's rule protection.

But even so, these people would not directly agree with Zhou Heng's thoughts.

Not only do you have to cut off most of your new strength, but you also have to believe in a guy who is not very reliable at first glance. Even if Lei Tianheng is in the way, these people still don't buy it when it comes to wantonly depriving themselves of their abilities. This is true at home, and it is also true abroad—expansion and domination are inherent in the ideas of any group, and it is difficult to change this general trend, even if it is controlled by some individuals. In desperation, Zhou Heng had no choice but to give in to them -- he had no choice but to bring these people to rescue them after he had brought them in. If you take it back now. Something is not bright in the end.

Hear Feng Yixin's report. Zhou Heng nodded thoughtfully. "Then let's follow the backup plan."

"You mean...... Do you agree that they will keep a part of the superpowers protected by the rules? Feng Yixin was stunned, "Won't there be chaos in this way......

"No, if they don't agree to that treaty, they'll be forced to recycle."

"But it's just a treaty, and we don't have the ability to monitor them all......"

"It doesn't matter, we're just symbolic oversight. As long as they keep each other in check, there will be no chaos. ”

What Zhou Heng said was a backup plan discussed with Feng Yixin before. These guys may not agree to the cutting plan, Zhou Heng had thought of it before, in order to deal with this possible situation. The last thing that came to mind was this - to threaten them with the protection of the rules, so that they would agree to use these superpowers in moderation in the future. Amnestics are administered to any normal person who sees a superpower, and no use of this ability to harm ordinary people, and no words or images are used to record anything related to this. If Zhou Heng needs it in the future, they must help unconditionally.

These conditions may sound like a given, but in reality there is no need for these organizations to follow such rules; Superpowers are inherently a way to kill, and with them, it's almost inevitable that these organizations will harm other humans. In particular, some people who live in antagonistic relations have a similar ability - there are no more cultists to provide monsters to share the enemy, and wartime high-pressure policies such as manipulating the media cannot be maintained forever; Giving them some superpowers without letting them show off or hurt ordinary people is like giving them a big knife that can only be used to sharpen pencils.

This kind of time. Only individuals like Zhou Heng will consider this kind of thing, try not to let more people know their strength. Once these guys poke out the superpowers, they may even drag Zhou Heng himself into the water. Therefore, the three chapters of the covenant are carried out in advance. In Zhou Heng's opinion, it is still very necessary. And this is Zhou Heng's plan - it is not unacceptable to give up part of the quota protected by the rules and leave the power to them. Moreover, it is not entirely without its benefits.

The members of these superpower organizations established by the state are much better than the guys Zhou Heng found from criminals or people who are dying; After long-term training, Zhou Heng will be able to exert stronger combat power when he needs them in the future. And handing over power to the state may really be able to promote world peace -- of course, this is not something that Zhou Heng can consider. And the only question is whether these guys will abide by such an agreement after they agree.

Of course, people's hearts can be punished; As Feng Yixin fears, it is basically impossible to expect such a hugely involved interest organization to keep its promises or be bent on good; But even so, as long as they don't do anything wrong, it's acceptable to leave these things to them. It is impossible for Zhou Heng to fully supervise what they do, so let them contain each other.

The time for negotiation was in the evening of the same day, and after thinking about it, Zhou Heng gave Feng Yixin a list.

"If a party is found to use superpowers in violation of regulations or information leakage, the number of rule protection places for all forces will be reduced......" Feng Yixin looked at what Zhou Heng gave him and said thoughtfully, "Isn't this the system of joint sitting?" ”

"That's right."

"But if we punish them like this, it's likely that they will come against us with the same hatred." Feng Yixin said, "You should know the story of Qin Shi Huang's implementation of the law of joint sitting, right? ”

"What is it?" Zhou Heng didn't know much about this kind of thing, "Are you saying that even sitting on the law will make them dissatisfied?" ”

"Not really. The king of Qin ordered the criminals to report each other, otherwise the criminals' neighbors would also be killed together. Therefore, most people began to frequently supervise the behavior of their neighbors in order not to be beheaded for no reason; At first, the neighbors were wary of each other, but later, it made the people more united. Feng Yixin patiently explained, "So the later uprisings were mostly based on villages and villages, and that's the reason." If we now apply this kind of indiscriminate punishment, we may be able to unite them against us. ”

"I didn't expect you to know a lot about history." Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders, "But that being said, our current situation should be different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"First of all, do you think they will share the same hatred for each other because of interests?"

"You mean ......"

"We've limited the number of people they can use though. But in essence, there is no substantial threat to their interests. It is other countries with which they have a conflict of interest. But one wins, one loses. Once punished, other forces will also suffer the disadvantages of this aspect, which is not actually unacceptable behavior for them. ”

Wouldn't anyone obey it? Besides, they are already powerful, how can they not take advantage of loopholes and think of some other way to bypass this rule? The punishment is not very heavy anyway. ”

"Then let them go around, there is this kind of bottom line, don't let ordinary people know about the existence of this kind of thing, don't let ordinary people get injured a lot because of superpowers, it's enough. If there is such a basic rule, it is a good thing for everyone, and I think they can understand it. ”

"Okay." Feng Yixin shrugged. "Then there's the belief in the Cursed Dragon, which they don't think is appropriate."

"If you don't think it's appropriate, don't do it." Zhou Heng said, "When the time comes, you will look good, and there will definitely be no one who will give up this opportunity." After all, the number of places is limited, and this utilitarian belief itself is not too demanding. ”

"That being said......"

"Do you think Lin Feng looks like a believer in the God of Light?" Zhou Heng said, "But his strength can at least rank in the top five among the high-level knights in that world, so you should know, right?" ”

Feng Yixin nodded, and this conversation ended like this. After taking a look at the layout of the real yàn area again, Zhou Heng left the research institute. And next to the space door, Luo Tiansheng has also returned.

Neat hair and clothes were blown into a mess. The two next to him were also a little wolf--one still had some black ash of the explosion on his body, apparently in some other trouble besides the sea breeze; Fortunately, there is a 'silver moon' deposit. So there were no injuries.

The world that Luo Tiansheng went to was the fantasy world found by Wang Lu and those people, and they were all worlds that were based on history or overhead cities, and they were no different from the earth in terms of rules; It just so happened that Luo was born to do this kind of thing, so Zhou Heng found a similar world for her to experience.

After coming back, Luo Tiansheng seemed to have gained a lot, but he seemed to have some insights that were beyond Zhou Heng's expectations-he didn't know how much Zhou Heng understood in the naval battle Luo Tiansheng, but she obviously used her mind elsewhere. After meeting, Luo Tiansheng did not talk to Zhou Heng about how fierce the naval battle was, but mentioned that he intended to make a superpower war game next.

The situation seemed to be developing in a strange direction, but Zhou Heng had no choice but to send her back.

In the evening of the same day, Feng Yixin successfully completed the negotiations with the representatives of various countries. After hearing the content of that treaty, these people objected surprisingly little, and quickly agreed to the rules mentioned by Zhou Heng. There are some differences in the discussion of the number of superpowers in various countries, but this is not something that Zhou Heng needs to consider. When they discuss the results, Zhou Heng will protect them according to the standard recovery rules.

During this period, the people from the National Security Bureau also specially approached Feng Yixin, wanting to test whether it was possible to obtain some convenience with the convenience of the home country, but Feng Yixin discussed it with Zhou Heng, and finally did not agree. Zhou Heng's goal is to make them try to be as peaceful as possible and not fight with each other, and deliberately taking sides will be counterproductive. Anyway, my base camp is in China, and I have a lot of exchanges with these people on weekdays; When you need help, it's not impossible to find a few people from the executive department to help with personal relationships.

Once this side is settled, there is nothing to worry about. A few days later, Zhou Heng came to the company and saw the game that had changed a lot.

Entering the game and entering the familiar command room, the game interface seems to be no different from before; The only difference was that the radar next to the cab disappeared and was replaced by a beautiful lieutenant in military uniform. In front of the beautiful lieutenant is some sonar analyzer and the like, and the information from the war will be analyzed by her.

Zhou Heng grinned, where is this real, how can there be such a beautiful correspondent in the real war?

The sound of the boiler mixed with the sound of the waves was several times louder than before, and it was only after turning off the noise option that the surroundings cleared up.

Traces of enemy ships appeared on the radar, and the battle soon began. A shell landed on the side of the ship, causing the hull to shake violently. Artillery fire and gunsmoke filled the air. The enemy ships in the distance are already completely invisible. Plus it seems to be more cumbersome to operate. Compared to the previous version, this version is obviously worse for players. not only made Zhou Heng's command in the battle a mess, but also specially added some unknown special events - bad news such as shell jamming, hull tilting, and engine water ingress one after another; Zhou Heng was not the only one on his side in this battle, Zhou Heng took the lead in withstanding the enemy's superior firepower, and Lu Xianlong and two other members of the development team next to him manipulated their warship to sink the enemy and won the final victory.

Harsh conditions, poor combat operations, headless battles. In the end, Zhou Heng watched a botched movie and ended the battle in the smoky captain's room. After the battle, Zhou Heng received a medal, which could be hung in the captain's room, and was of little use except for decoration.

In the battle, Zhou Heng's battleship completely failed to hit the enemy, and lost the ability to continue the battle when it was wounded prematurely and the turret was stuck due to unexpected circumstances, the black smoke was full of black smoke and it was completely impossible to see the enemy's position, and the radar was also blurry, making it difficult to distinguish the enemy's position. compared to previous versions. Games are obviously more depressing and heavy now, with less to see and less to do. Most of the time, there is a lot of gunsmoke outside, and while those unexpected events add uncertainty to the game, it also makes the game lose the possibility of becoming a star competitive game like Dragons.

No matter how you look at it, this change doesn't look like a successful one. But after the end, I unexpectedly had a feeling of unfinished -

Zhou Heng took off his helmet, and Luo Tiansheng and the others, who were waiting next to him, asked, "How is it?" ”

"Very good." Zhou Heng said, "Although the boat was about to capsize after being beaten, and the sight was also very poor, it felt very interesting." ”

"Are you serious?" Lu Xianlong complained, "I can't hear it at all, this is praise." ”

"Of course it's serious...... Zhou Heng shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know why, but I always think it's going to be funny." ”

Just as the problem was perceived before, the way to solve the problem now is also unpredictable. However, whether the game is interesting or not is an inexplicable thing, and Zhou Heng has always trusted Luo Tiansheng in this regard.

And this time the problem was solved. After that, there are some follow-up development tasks such as plots, and Zhou Heng has no intention of continuing to meddle in these things. The company is on the right track, someone else is responsible for the construction of the research institute, the invading cultists are co-opted, and there will be no inexplicable enemies suddenly coming to make trouble. But even so, Zhou Heng was not completely idle - the next stage of the Lord God's evolution was about to arrive.

The next stage of evolution, which was still at least half a year away, took a turn for the better due to unexpected changes. After freeing up a large part of the energy consumption and finding a magic from the Atlas that can forcibly increase the speed of rule chaos recovery, the next stage of evolution, which was originally far away, seems to be just around the corner. This is of course a good thing—by the time this evolution is over, there will be only one step left before the final perfection of the Lord God.

What does the Lord God look like when he is finally fully formed? The Lord God himself is not very clear about this question. And the energy required for the next stage of the main god's upgrade will also be an astronomical amount. Nowadays, though, more and more help can be obtained from the fantasy world; Moreover, with more and more colonized worlds under his control, it is only a matter of time before these energy sources are collected.

With the growth of the main god, the power in Zhou Heng's own hands is getting stronger and stronger. Zhou Heng himself is not a person with a strong desire to dominate, but from the depressed appearance in the past to the current Cheng dù, the ability of the main god is indispensable; Although the new abilities obtained after each evolution are inconspicuous, they are a leap forward for Zhou Heng himself. So for the situation after that, Zhou Heng was also a little curious. What will the main deity of the final journey be like?

However, in contrast, the main god was obviously much calmer, and mentioned to Zhou Heng the problems that he might face next.

"Aliens?"

During the conversation with the Lord God, Zhou Heng heard this special word.

"Have you forgotten? I told you a long time ago that there is an unmanned probe from another civilization hiding in the nearby asteroid belt, which has been observing your human every move. The Lord God explained, "Because I only happened to see it when I was passing by, I don't know much about it. ”

"Oh......" Zhou Heng said, "are you saying that it is possible for it to perceive our existence?" ”

"Yes, because there are no intelligent beings on it, I didn't actively contact it at the time, but I can feel that it has this ability."

Regarding the reminder of the main god, Zhou Heng was still a little unimpressed: "But you have evolved so many times before, why didn't it find out?" ”

"It's a bit of a fluctuation this time, and I suspect it might notice." The Lord God said solemnly, "This time I will dissociate the fragments structurally, and the energy that escapes will be easily perceptible throughout the galaxy." (To be continued......)
