"It's a good performance."

In the captain's room of the Iron Heart, Chu Guang was drinking black tea with milk while watching the stage play on the holographic screen, with an interested expression on his face.

"The acting is online, and the script is okay."

"Even there are too many hammers and mothers in the lines...... The locals actually wrote this thing themselves?"

He has long been tired of watching film and television works in reality, and there are many localized works carried by players. In contrast, he was more curious about some of the new tricks that the survivors of the wasteland had come up with.

For example, Sperger's "Pol the Awakened" made his eyes shine, and even earlier there were those "limericks" written by Howl, and even the picture book dedicated to him by the little princess Honey Badger - "Father and Son with Thick Hair".

Compared with "imported products", these locally born works reflect the spiritual world of the wastelanders.

As a manager, his role is not only to guide, but also to "understand".

In the latest sociological research report on Borneo Province by Ms. Han Mingyue, such a representative work is attached.

Although the old-fashioned stage play and the overly trendy movie-going equipment don't go well, it makes surprising sense to put it on the wasteland.

Back to the stage play itself.

The name of the play is "The Story After the Heavy Rain", and the screenwriter is a Niu poet, including the creation of the script, the design of the lines and even the music in the stage play.

All the stories of the whole play take place in a house on Tulip Street, and according to the portrayal in the play, that house is actually the Doge's Palace in Nihak, and the rainstorm refers to both the rain outside the window and the "wind" blowing into the port of Golden Gallen.

However, the whole stage play is not about Governor Nehac and his servants, nor does it have anything to do with current affairs and the overall situation, but only witnesses the end of an era from the perspective of a minor nobleman, and uses two love stories that ended without a problem as clues to highlight the protagonist's confusion in the "period of exploration"-

Everyone around him was leaving him, but he didn't know where to go, let alone where he was.

In a sense, the spiritual world of the protagonist in the play is very similar to the mental condition of the old local aristocracy.

After the landing in Borneo, the alliance did not plunder the property of the natives, but the nobles no longer had any of the privileges of the old days, and were no longer respected and worshipped by those around them.

Even if their lives are not bad for the time being, if they can't adapt to the times, it will be a matter of time before they sink into the tide of the times.

At the end of the video attachment of the stage play, Han Mingyue left her perspective as a researcher.

「…… What intrigues me is not the plot of the stage play, but the shadow of existentialism and nihilism that appears at the same time in this stage play. I think this work is as representative as Red Clay, the latter is the voice of the radical and the former is the conservative, both belong to this period, and both belong to a microcosm of the cultural phenomena that are unique to this period."

Turning off the hologram, Chu Guang continued to look at the report written by Ms. Han Mingyue.

According to the points mentioned in his latest research report, the new cultural movement in the port of Golden Gallen is in full swing, and its enthusiasm is no less than that of the local infrastructure.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

There is the other extreme - nihilism.

That is, the denial of all meanings, the belief that everything man does is powerless and futile.

Borneo's survivor culture has its roots in Rowell Camp, which covers 4 million square kilometres of culture. In comparison, the Haiya Province, which touches the sensitive nerves of the three "fallen empires", is even less than a state in the empire.

Even the slaves on the farm and manor can puff out their chests and say, what "fallen empire", what "battle for heaven", is just a few strange-looking big crabs fighting in cricket cages.

However, in the face of a new survivor force that had just risen for two and a half years, their pride was completely thrown to the ground.

Even if they counted the thousand pillars of the City of a Thousand Pillars 10,000 times, they couldn't understand why when the Alliance and the Torch fought, it was just an inadvertent wind that blew with their fists to destroy the "gray wolf" that the Empire was proud of and regarded as the spearhead.

Although conceit and inferiority are the two extremes of self-perception, they are not contradictory when they appear in the same person, and it can even be said that the two attributes actually go hand in hand.

Compared to the City of a Thousand Pillars, the Lowell Camp, a symbol of authority, is the spiritual totem in the minds of the true Borneo survivors, even if the locals have never prayed to it, and even when passing by its door, they will unconsciously lower their heads and speed up their pace.

However, few of the Borneo survivors truly realized that prayer was only a "manifestation" of the believer's reverence for the gods, and was not the whole or essence of the faith.

The people of primitive societies compiled myths out of reverence for mountain fires and thunderstorms, danced to the gods out of awe, and offered sacrifices to totems......

Myths, dances, and sacrifices are not enough to encapsulate the essence of faith, but reverence – or fear – from the heart.

Due to the arrival of the Alliance, the majesty of Camp Lowell was trampled under their feet, and the old local nobles not only lost the income brought by slaves, but also lost their spiritual sustenance.

At present, the trend of nihilism prevails among the local upper class, and is mainly reflected in the two fields of music and painting.

After all, these two fields have a higher "entry threshold" than writing, and the residents of Jingallen Harbor who have just learned to write are still in the stage of learning the "Mengweier" people's language.

"......'The Tale After the Rainstorm is just a minor episode in my research, I know you're more concerned with progressive voices than with the moans of conservative forces. Recite. But I believe you are sensible and should know that radical and extreme are only one step away, and the torch is the most intuitive example."

"At present, the survivors of the Golden Gallen Harbor have formed a consensus to tear down the thousand pillars of the City of a Thousand Pillars, and all sectors of society are united as never before because of the same consensus. While I am more inclined to think that the majority opinion is a spiritual demolition rather than a physical one, I fear that the movement will eventually spiral out of control, leading to the destruction of important relics of civilization and research materials."

"Before it was destroyed, I wanted to go to the local area, and it would be better to leave some video materials or something, which is valuable material for sociological research...... While the results of my research are not immediately effective, I would like to ask you for a relaxation of the regional clearance granted to the mission, as well as a Viper transport and a twelve-man tactical team."

Chu Guang saw the report at the end, nodded his index finger on the desk, and finally rejected her request.

「…… I don't mean to despise sociological research, on the contrary, I attach great importance to it, but we have signed an armistice with the Empire. I cannot grant your request for a hasty crossing of the ceasefire line, which could involve the Legion in an already complex regional affair, or even drag the Commune into a new quagmire that should be fully committed to the front line."

"Of course, I will seriously consider your suggestion and urge the inhabitants of the Vault operating in the area to support your research and protect the new legacy of the Post-Prosperity Era through indirect interference."

The Torch Church is dragging its feet, and the Adhesive Community has only completed the siege of it, and it will take some time to completely solve this problem.

If the alliance increases its interference in the Borneo region, the legion will immediately follow up with the expansion in the Borneo province

Influence and territory may not ultimately be conducive to spontaneous change by local survivors.

It is better to maintain the status quo and use the Golden Gallon Port to contain the West Sail Harbor, and let the local survivors decide their own future.

And the local survivors are doing just that.

The officers who had been transported inland from the port of Golden Gallen were turning the tide of the Moon Resistance and were advancing through Huzhou towards the northeastern corner of Borneo Province.

According to the report made by Fang Chang to Xiaoyu at the "hearing", the "military strongman" they invested 10 million silver coins to support has successfully obtained the first round of venture capital from the people of Jingallen Port and French Fries Port, leveraged nearly 20 million silver coins of capital, and is preparing to build a "new Jingallen Port" at the mouth of the Tasang River in Mengluo Prefecture.

The port's economic potential may not be as high as that of the Golden Gallon, which is located at the mouth of the Yongliu River, but it can also reach two or three inland states bordering the Tasan River.

Although this cake did not get the small fish to the lake, several shareholder representatives who attended the hearing at the same time were indeed greedy by this cake and did not hesitate to stand on the side of the chief.

To be reasonable, if you can really play another gold gallon port, will you lose 10 million silver coins?

It's not a loss at all!

The ideal city has a strong family foundation without expansion, and can live a good life behind closed doors, and there is spare money to go to the wasteland to reward, but does Dawning City have this family background?

Overseas business must be expanded!

Now that there is food and mines, there is a shortage of people.

If that Rasi can really turn the animals of the province of Borneo into a man, who cares what he is, no matter how outrageous it is, it can be more outrageous than that witch camel?

After seeing the series of "physical evidence" presented by Fang Chang, Xiao Yu didn't say anything in the end, and lifted the summons order after the former supplemented the complete plan.

In fact, her approach is entirely based on the constitution of the alliance, and there is no deliberate favoritism or deliberate suppression.

Chu Guang was also very pleased with such a result.

Whether it's for Baiyue Company, or for Xiaoyu, or the changes that are taking place in Borneo Province under the guidance of players.

It's also a wasteland, and there's no such thing as a mainline wasteland and a side wasteland.

The corrosion of Geumcheon Province originated from the torch of Haiya Province, and in the final analysis, it was in Qingquan City, or Qingquan City, or Qingquan City, and Vault 117.

The Naguo of Haiya Province comes from Baiyue Province, and the key to the final solution of Naguo, the Type B Naguo strain, also comes from this Province, or from the slime nest in Baiyue Province that has not yet been discovered by the player.

The reclamation of Baiyue Province is inseparable from the support of survivors in the southern seas, including the study of the sunken remains of the Heavenly Court, xenomorphs and broods on the seabed.

The same goes for the Great Desert, where the Coalition must bring together survivors who have "gone there and fled from there" to solve their problems, or at least bring people who are willing to go out of there again.

Everything that happens in the wasteland seems to be disconnected, but it's all interconnected.

If they don't take every step well, no matter how much inheritance they inherit, they will never be able to return to the starry sky they once touched......

At least in his lifetime, I'm afraid it's hard to see.

……

The sun and moon on the battlefield are like snails on the leaftops, and the battle line on the northern front moves slowly but constantly.

It's late September.

The coalition forces on the northern front have successfully controlled the entire territory of Laishan City, and have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Haiya Province in the form of flowers on three sides.

Facts have proved that the war of attrition of the coalition forces is actually effective. Even though the representatives of the Legion always criticized this as the alliance taking advantage of the system of the Commune to enrich themselves and take the opportunity to develop their own industry.

But after seeing the Coalition's casualties on the front lines, especially those of the Vault residents, they couldn't say anything mean.

Enterprises have no opinion, stable and continuous input and predictable output are their pursuit, they only worry about unexpected risks, not the expected

。

As for the academy, no one could guess what they were thinking, Chu Guang himself could guess one or two percent at most, and those people were paranoid about secrets as much as they were about knowledge.

The Torch Church seems intent on delaying the situation and continuing to increase its leverage in the southern seas, sending an advance force east in an attempt to burn the fire to the province of Prancing Horse.

This advance force, led by one Precursor and hundreds of Apostles, happened to run into the 99th Mechanized Infantry Division of the enterprise.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides on the plains, and in the end the latter gained the upper hand with more and more bells and whistles, and the advance team was defeated.

A handful of new players participated in the campaign as mercenaries, and it is said that they were able to get a lot of equipment mixed in as a result.

However, in the end, these equipment were basically recycled at a high price by companies such as Jushi Military Industry.

After all, those veterans who are engaged in the military industry give too much.

In addition, there are also those who go to the Legion or even the Hound Special Forces to be mercenaries, and some players who are keen on "going off the beaten path" even summarized the remuneration for working for various forces on the official website forum, as well as the most cost-effective way to fish.

Among them, the alliance's earnings are the most stable, and the growth curve is the smoothest, as if it were carefully designed.

After all, it is the "protagonist force" officially hand-picked by the game, and the service is naturally for most people, suitable for general players who don't want to go off the rails and a large number of legions.

As for the enterprise, as the local tyrant in the background board, the first to get rich in the wasteland, even ordinary soldiers may become NPCs who send tasks, and at the same time the money given is also the highest, the only fly in the ointment is that the actual combat value of the equipment given is a little lower.

In addition to the usefulness of biomicry chips and implanted prostheses, things like exoskeletons or small arms might as well be sold for money.

If you're looking for equipment, the Academy and the Bougerra Free State are better choices. The former itself is the ceiling of the wasteland, while the latter has the support of the Great Rift Valley and no one dares to fight, and has stolen a little bit from the former in the past century.

As for the Legion, the money given is not much, and the equipment is average, but there may be unexpected gains, just like the guy in the [Battlefield Atmosphere Group].

Chu Guang couldn't help but like the post written by the player after reading it.

This guy really understands the new version, and he has to be a slave with five surnames.

Of course, on the premise of not violating the "Player Handbook", Chu Guang has always encouraged players to take the initiative to "go out".

However, these small details had little impact on the entire battle situation, and Chu Guang only learned about it through Xiao Qi, and did not put his perspective over to observe it carefully.

At present, the area of the "purification zone" in Haiya Province has been expanded to 70,000 square kilometers, which is close to one-tenth of the total area of 670,000 square kilometers in Haiya Province.

Its meaning is probably equivalent to gnawing on the first mountain of the Ten Peaks, and there are many more "mountains" that are difficult to gnaw, and each one is more dangerous than the other.

It would be nice if the southern front could open a breakthrough, Chu Guang, who was in command of the front line, thought so more than once.

Especially now that the Conch submarine has been completed, the Meissner effect armor has also been successfully installed on the flagship of the South China Sea Alliance, and the radar base stations and missile launchers on Shazhou Island have also been deployed one after another, the timing of the decisive battle is unprecedented.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to urge the allies in the south to make a move, a telegram with a battle plan was suddenly sent to Xiao Qi through the special line of the French Fries Port.

The proposal was codenamed "Laken" - the most ferocious sea beast in the southern seas, presumably similar to the claws of death in the province of the River Valley.

The author of the plan was none other than Li Minghui, commander of the South China Sea Alliance Navy, who was given all the command of the Anle Island naval base and the garrison fleet.

「…… The fishing boats and harpoons that hunted Laken have been polished, and the fleet of the South Sea Alliance is ready to take everything back or sacrifice everything!"

"We plan to launch a final battle in early October to completely wipe out the Chara who is holding the North Island hostage

Si and his henchmen! and banish the Torchists and mutants on the island once and for all!"

"This operation will be about the future of all of us, and we need your support!"

The telegram was only three short paragraphs, but the accompanying battle plan was a dozen or so pages.

This included using the captured Reef as bait to create a flaw to lure the battleship Haiya out of port, including suppressing anti-aircraft fire on the island, covering the landing of coalition ground forces, and so on.

Due to the presence of Torch troops in the North Island, the South China Sea Alliance hopes that the Dawning side will be the main force in the ground battle.

After the completion of the incident, the close cooperation between the South China Sea Alliance and the alliance will continue, and at the same time, the North Island will serve as a logistics transit base for the alliance, which can be used as a springboard for the alliance to attack the southern shore of Haiya Province.

After seeing the battle plan in its entirety, Chu Guang suddenly laughed out loud.

"Well done!"

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, tilted his head.

"Master, do you think they have a good plan?"

It feels that there are still certain risks in this plan, and the South China Sea alliance has pressed almost all the bargaining chips.

The corners of Chu Guang's mouth raised slightly, his index finger clicked a few times on the holographic screen, and sent the battle plan to the staff headquarters and the corps commander located on the southern front.

「…… It's not bad to be wrong, you can't talk about it, and you have to try it if it doesn't work."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Qi and gave two orders in a row.

"Tell the players on the southern line to assemble at the french fries port! You don't need to be notified very specifically, just say that there is a new activity on the server!"

"Also, let the Burning Corps and Goblin Corps start preparing for the battle immediately! Always ready to be dispatched!"

Seeing the excitement flickering in Chu Guang's eyes, Xiao Qi also made an alliance salute with great energy.

"Roger!"
