Chapter 305 The company's recent situation
The underground research institute was specially set up by Zhou Heng not long ago in order to conceal it. First, the previous building was too small to be used as a place to live, but it could be difficult to continue to expand. Second, if you develop on the ground like this, you will inevitably face all kinds of problems - not to mention that Hu Yu was like that day, he could provoke a fire truck with a casual otherworldly combat skill; Just such a house with closed doors and windows and suspicious people entering and leaving every day is likely to arouse the suspicion and curiosity of some ordinary people. In order to eliminate this unnecessary trouble, Zhou Heng set up an underground research institute to move all these things beyond common sense to the ground.
At the time, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with such behavior. Since then, the underground research institute has managed to avoid some of the problems – at least it seems. During the war that had just ended, the number and work of the institute had increased several times; What's more, there is also the situation of being attacked by the enemy - if it weren't for the underground, Zhou Heng couldn't imagine how much trouble it would have.
But even so, Zhou Heng was still not very satisfied with this underground research institute.
Of course, underground research institutes may avoid some unnecessary troubles; But the last war itself was actually a problem because of the geographical location. Whether above ground or underground, the institute itself is in this world; And after Hu Yu returned to the research institute, his causal line was also linked to this world. Later, those cultists came to the door and took the lives of ordinary people on the earth as a threat, which made Zhou Heng directly fall into passivity. If we could separate research from the cause and effect of the earth, we would be able to avoid this problem.
This time the cultists were not difficult to deal with, but in the future, Zhou Heng would inevitably have to face other invaders from the other world, if he had the combat power of Ziwei Xingjun. And again the techniques of these cultists. Then it wasn't as easy to deal with as it is now. Although now Zhou Heng has obtained the space technology of these cultists. Most of the intruders should be able to handle it; But fantasy worlds have infinite possibilities, and once you encounter such an enemy one day, it will not be easy to manage.
It's not too late to make amends; Using the usual methods to restrain these intruders is not only troublesome to operate, but also the actual effect will not be very good - after all, the rules of the other world are different, and the way of invasion will be different; As long as the act of colonizing the fantasy world does not stop, the possibility of enemy invasion cannot be ruled out; As long as the Institute is still on Earth, it is impossible to completely eliminate invasions from other worlds. Zhou Heng thought of a solution that would transfer the institute again - if he could make the institute disappear from this world. Then you don't have to worry about being approached by enemies.
So where should the institute be moved? Zhou Heng's initial idea was to find a colonial world rich in resources and move there; However, there are many inconveniences in traveling through the world, and the biggest problem is that the main god cannot follow the past - the main god himself is rooted in this world, and it is impossible to go to the other world.
However, the appearance of these cultists found some solutions to Zhou Heng's problems.
These cultists are able to find some spatial rifts—which are themselves just pieces of space debris that have been stripped from the current universe, and are not fantasy worlds in nature; It may be a bit of a hassle to let the Lord God move over, but it's not impossible. And after arranging the research institute in this kind of spatial rift, once some space shuttles with similar cultists come to the door, they can only find the research institute, but they can't find the earth; In this way, the threat from chaos is greatly reduced. Whether it's facing the enemy or calmly retreating, you will have a more convenient choice. And it won't be led by the nose like last time, and it will be disturbed by some of the lowest monsters.
borrowed some technology from the other world. These cultists had developed several spatial rifts in the afternoon—as their old job, they were familiar with this kind of work.
came to the spatial rift with everyone, and Zhou Heng saw that kind of scenery. Looking at the metal earth and the pure black sky, even the others have a strange sense of immediacy.
"In the future, I'll call this the main god space." Zhou Heng said.
"Don't say it, it's a bit like that." Feng Yixin next to him grinned, "It's just a big ball of light." ”
"Big ball of light...... I'm looking at it soon. Zhou Heng thought for a while and said, "About a month at most, there will be a big ball of light here." ”
Feng Yixin hurriedly said: "I'm just talking about ...... casually."
"I'm serious. Although it's not necessary, it seems to be quite interesting to get some main god space to play with......" Zhou Heng teased, "But forget it, let's step up the time transfer." ”
Once the transfer is complete, no one will come to trouble again.
No matter what kind of enemy he is, once the other party has time to take all the earthlings as hostages, it will inevitably pose a great threat to Zhou Heng. Now that the worries have been eliminated, even if the enemy is very strong, Zhou Heng can find a way to deal with it slowly. Prevention is never a bad thing, and it can often save a lot of unnecessary work.
It happened that Leilia was next to him, and Zhou Heng asked him about other questions—"What did you do last time to eliminate the causal clue?" ”
Last time, Zhou Heng caught the causal clues of these people, and thought that he had the chance to win, but he didn't expect to be almost drawn from the bottom of the kettle in the end, and the traces of cause and effect were completely eliminated by these cultists, and almost let the victory in hand disappear; Although in the end, the location of these guys was found with the 'Red Thread of the Old Moon', but the methods used by these cultists to eliminate the causal clues made Zhou Heng remember it vividly. Now Zhou Heng intends to completely eliminate the connection between the institute and the earth, so he asks Relia about their approach.
"It's a kind of magic that's still in the real yàn, although it's not very mature, but"
"I want to eliminate all the causal threads between the new base and Earth, just like you did against us last time. In addition, in the future, all the causal exchanges between the research institute and the earth will be eliminated, can it be done? ”
"Are you afraid that the enemy may find Earth in the order of cause and effect?" Leilia immediately realized Zhou Heng's intentions, "Of course it can be done, but I don't think it's necessary. ”
"Why?"
"There are many worlds connected to research institutes. The energy-harvesting instruments that the Exploration Department that you took us on that day have a causal relationship with thousands of worlds that are emitted every day. Who do you think will have the patience to pick one of these worlds that you will come from to focus on? ”
So to speak. Zhou Heng reacted. For an intruder who has never been in contact with it before and is intent on hijacking the Earth. Even if it's like the cultists, they're themselves wreakers of sabotage; In the face of thousands of worlds, it is impossible to find out the earth at once, and it is impossible to immediately grasp the weakness of the emptiness behind Zhou Heng - they don't know where Zhou Heng's rear is. It is impossible for thousands of worlds to suffer immediately, and taking advantage of this depth, Zhou Heng will have plenty of time to react.
After that, Relia added, "The process of removing the traces of cause and effect is cumbersome and unnecessary. Rather than simply removing all traces of cause and effect, it should be enough to eliminate the causal clues in your important people. Of course, that's just my opinion......"
"Let's do it."
After the decision is made. Relia and others began to put in the work; This aspect of the work is the old business of these cultists, and although it may be a little troublesome, it is not difficult to achieve. And Zhou Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief - the problems exposed in the last war were completely solved now. From now on, neither Ziwei Xingjun nor this kind of cultist will appear on Earth again.
Of course, there may be cases where someone else has found Earth by mistake – but it's all too unlikely. It's incredibly unlikely that a unit with the ability to travel through space will land in a certain timeline in a certain world. Even those space mages who had been living in chaos for hundreds of years had never met anyone other than Zhou Heng who had mastered this technique. As the Lord God said, civilization and the world in chaos are originally a kind of existence similar to Schrödinger's cat; If you don't explore. It won't save zài.
The work in the 'Main God Space' continued, but Zhou Heng didn't plan to stay any longer. Go through any door and return to Earth. The institute is already getting busy. The machine and some coolies from the executive department were preparing for the relocation, transporting complex instruments and tons of materials to the space door. This space gate is also something scavenged from cultists, although it consumes more energy, but it is better to be stable; Even if no one is casting a spell, space travel can be performed.
Before coming to the elevator, several combatants from the executive department respectfully helped Zhou Heng open the elevator; Let Zhou Heng walk in. Returning to the ground and leaving the commercial building, the familiar streets of Yanjin City returned to his eyes, Zhou Heng took a long breath, and he actually had a feeling of being separated from the world.
It's finally over.
Since the last time he was in trouble, he began to prepare for battle non-stop; Although he often returned to the ground during this period, there were still thousands of people in the executive department who listened to his orders and shouldered such heavy responsibilities, and it was difficult to relax no matter where he was. Now that those cultists have completely surrendered under the instruction of the cursed dragon, and the worries that may be targeted by the enemies of other fantasy worlds are about to be solved, Zhou Heng himself can be considered to be idle.
There was an accident last time, of course, Zhou Heng was not thoughtful; After Ziwei Xingjun chased after him, he should have realized the problem in this regard, but Zhou Heng did not react, which led to the fact that these cultists followed Hu Yu's causal clues to find the earth. But fortunately, these guys are not strong, although it took a lot of work, but in the end, not only did they settle the problem, but also accepted a large number of capable younger brothers. These space mages look no different from ordinary people, but in a sense, they are all old scholars who have been studying the rules of space for more than decades; The role it can play in future research will certainly not be less than that of ordinary people.
And Zhou Heng himself, it's time to relax. During this time, except for Gu Xiao, Zhou Heng has not contacted anyone. When I got home, the house was cleaned by organic qì people, clean and tidy; His sister went to travel to another world at public expense, and Zhou Heng was too lazy to stay at home alone; I just remembered that Luo Tiansheng had contacted him some time ago, but because of the urgency of the war, he was pushed over by Zhou Heng; Thinking about it today, Zhou Heng made a phone call back-
"Luo Tiansheng, what did you do with me last time?"
"Mr. Zhou?" Received a call from Zhou Heng. Luo Tiansheng was taken aback. "Are you done?"
"yes...... It's over. Zhou Heng said. The enemy I told you last time has been submitted, and the earth is safe. ”
"You're all great heroes who saved the earth, why don't you have a party to celebrate?"
"Excuse me...... Your senior brother has gone back to the master's gate, and he shouldn't be back for a while in the future. Zhou Heng said, "Besides, what was the matter with you looking for me last time?" ”
"It's not a big deal, some problems with the development of new games have been solved through the submission channel in the Guò developer channel." Luo Tiansheng said, "Now the game has been released. Tonight's celebration banquet is being held, do you want to come and see Mr. Zhou? ”
"Okay."
Now Zhou Heng's game company is also on the right track, although it has not been managed for a long time, but it seems to be making good progress - in addition to the virtual drawing software, Zhou Heng also provides an upload channel for the company's developer port; Luo Tiansheng will sort out some planning problems and send them over. In the past, Zhou Heng needed to see these numbers in person, but now that he is familiar with them, he doesn't need Zhou Heng to look at them again. General problems: Luo Tiansheng can be submitted directly from the developer port, and then processed by the main god and then returned; During this time, Zhou Heng was busy himself, and the programming work of the game company was solved in this way.
Called Gu Xiao to come to the hotel together, and the company's celebration banquet has begun. It's only been a month. The company has changed dramatically – even at the reception. Some of the company's top executives left, and the casserole girl opened a subsidiary with some people. Concentrate on running their card games; Han Jun couldn't get more opportunities because of his lack of ability, so he jumped to other companies. A foreign shareholder fell out with Luo Shengtian and withdrew his shares not long ago; Chen Xueliang was involved in a scandal again and almost lost his reputation, and was finally sent by Luo Tiansheng to a subsidiary abroad to hang up his idle job.
On top of that, "Wind Country" has gradually reached player saturation after several promotions, and the virtual reality version of "Dragons" has become more and more popular with the rise of professional leagues, and the development trend of "Golden Melody" is also very attractive. On top of that, there are two games that have been released recently.
One is called "Square World", which is a virtual reality parkour game; Although the character is simple, the basic gameplay is to let the player control a gray villain to jump forward in a collapsing world; The special effects are cool, the world is huge, and it is very exciting and interesting to play; With the update of the new generation of virtual headset plugins, this game is considered to be the flagship product of the very game company in this quarter.
However, because the hardware is updated too quickly, the player's configuration is not up to date; Coupled with the fact that other game companies in the world have gradually adapted to the virtual environment and have gradually begun to launch their virtual reality games, the sales of "Square World" are not particularly outstanding in the case of market saturation. On the contrary, it was the effect of another game that made the company a little unexpected.
Havoc in Heaven is a 2D single-player game released on a home computer, with a game engine similar to The Land of the Wind, which is also a side-scrolling fighting game. Players will take on the role of the Monkey King and take a group of baby monkeys to the heavenly palace, and the story content is also not new - such a game is obviously not very up-to-date in this era. In fact, the game was just something that the company's artists used to practice, and it didn't have much expectation in itself; However, in the case of excellent technical conditions, this game has caused a great response among players because of its excellent gameplay and painting quality.
It just so happens that terrorist attacks have been everywhere recently, and people who don't want to go out are looking for ways to pass the time; Non-veteran gamers often don't have virtual headsets, so this new PC game has come into the spotlight with its gorgeous colors and likable human (monkey) design. Bringing a group of monkeys and monkeys with different personalities, both male and female, to the Heavenly Palace is obviously a very interesting game experience for players. Not long after the game's release, sales have already surpassed that of "Block World". What's even more ridiculous is that because of the likable character, some players have already begun to draw monkeys' R18 fanbook.
Listening to Luo Tiansheng's report, Zhou Heng couldn't help grinning; Not only because of the strange response of the new game, but I didn't expect Chen Xueliang's waste to really be beaten away - in the past, Zhou Heng could still take the time to 'guide' him, but now that Chen Xueliang has been sent abroad, it seems that this grudge between him and He Lei has completely failed. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng asked:
"How's the Six Dao Literature Network going?"
"Not long ago, he was wildly slandered by a hired navy, and Chen Xueliang was later involved for this reason. However, the overall reputation has been affected to a certain extent, and Penguin has recently entered the online literature competition strongly, so the prospects of He Lei's company are not optimistic. ”
"It looks like half a pound and eight taels......"
After learning about them, there was a commotion at the door, and several foreigners walked in, seemingly important guests of the company; Just as Zhou Heng's question was also asked, Luo Tiansheng went there to socialize. After that, Luo Shengtian reported the recent situation, and the banquet began. Recently, the company's two new products have been sold well, and the atmosphere in the company is very high; However, next to Zhou Heng, the expression of his old friend Lu Xianlong was a little sad, and while eating with his head bored, several people next to him came to toast and he pushed them away. (To be continued......)
