Homo sapiens.

This addition is that electromagnetic rifles are usually paired with exoskeleton armor, and the energy core of the exoskeleton armor is a cobalt nuclear battery.

In the event of an emergency and the power of the solid-state battery is completely consumed, the energy core of the exoskeleton armor can also be used to temporarily supply energy.

At this time, Zhou Ran and others were stuffed into the training camp of the orbital paratroopers in the virtual world.

They were wearing exoskeleton armor, paired with electromagnetic rifles, and started the game in hell mode.

Unlike the easy teaching of the closed beta, the open beta game started with the space fleet of the six-claw civilization suddenly appearing near Neptune and establishing colonies on Neptune's satellites.

The Homo sapiens company in the game had to implement mandatory conscription in order to deal with this sudden enemy.

Now these players are the "cannon fodder" who were forced to be recruited. They only got exoskeleton armor and some light weapons, and then they had to learn various skill data packages by themselves.

Yet war has broken out in the asteroid belt.

Now they can only go to the battlefield with their faces covered, take a space battleship to the asteroid belt and fight against the six-clawed people.

A group of public beta players directly complained that the operating operators do not pay attention to martial arts, which is completely different from the slow pace of the internal beta players, and it is a fierce battle.

Chapter 613 The Interweaving of Virtual and Real

After more than a week of fermentation, the public beta of "Deadly Dark Star: Defense of the Earth" is in full swing.

And the other side.

The operator also pulls some players into a special synchronization server through the internal network of the space business department.

The so-called synchronous server, which looks like a game on the surface, is actually connected to a synchronous communicator behind it, which can directly mobilize synchronous robots to work in various space bases.

As part of the players who like to farm, they are pulled into the sync server.

real world.

Jupiter - Jupiter 4.

This large satellite, about the size of Mercury, has built a huge dome structure on its surface.

This dome structure is composed of seven regular hexagons with a height of 1000 meters and a single regular hexagon with an area of ​​about 30 square kilometers.

After the player Wei Bo logged into the game, he was placed here with dozens of other players.

The game career he chose was an engineer, so he was assigned here.

After data reorganization, the colleagues they see in their eyes are actually synchronous robots one by one, but the faces of these synchronous robots use special anthropomorphic headgear, which looks like themselves.

This is also one of the second generation technologies of synchronous robots.

Wei Bo, who didn't know the reason, and other players thought it was a holographic game simulation, but it was real.

The base commander and engineering director, who appeared as the game's "intelligent characters", appeared in front of all players.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Wednesday, the base commander of the Europa 4 base. Now I will introduce the mission to you..."

"You are all elites of the company. You were recruited to resist the invasion of the evil six-clawed people. Now you have five missions. The first mission is to explore the ground around the base and find ways for humans to build warships and weapons. resource."

"The second task is to complete the expansion of the base under the leadership of Captain Watt..."

Soon a group of players chose tasks according to their own interests, and these tasks were very long.

Suddenly Wei Bo saw one of the clauses, and he felt very strange in his heart.

[...Task terms and conditions 22, virtual gold dollars obtained from missions are equivalent to electric energy gold dollars...]

"How is this possible?" Wei Bo muttered to himself.

Jin Guangzi, a colleague at the side, asked him: "Hello, I am Jin Guangzi from the Suez branch."

"Uh oh... I'm Wei Bo from the Ceylon Island branch, and my real job is a metallurgical researcher." Wei Bo subconsciously replied.

"Weibo, let's go to the raw material production workshop!"

"Okay." Wei Bo suppressed the doubts in his heart, and then followed to the raw material production workshop.

Standing on the podium, Wednesday, the base commander, and Watt, the captain of the engineering brigade, looked at these ignorant players with a smile without saying a word.

Turning work into a game is indeed a good idea for the company.

Although there is no overtime on the surface, in fact, the company has allowed a group of players to work overtime for the company for several hours through the game.

Of course, the company will pay the wages.

Since many players treat these jobs as games, it's all a job for fun.

What is a win-win situation?

This is a win-win situation.

After more than ten days of operation, the current daily online audience of "Deadly Dark Star: Defense of the Earth" is around 3700 million to 4500 million.

Although the synchronization server can only accommodate 5 players at present, go to various space bases for real "games".

However, the production line of synchronous robots on the earth is already at full capacity, and 5 synchronous robots will be added every month in the future.

The supporting facilities of other synchronous robots are also being rapidly improved.

The virtual world will gradually transform into the real world with the development of time.

Including the lunar space battleship shipyard, the Mars space battleship shipyard, the rare metal refining base in the asteroid belt, the second Pangea project of Europa 4, the Yungong floating island of Venus, etc.

These things will be put in place one after another with the synchronous robots, spaceships, and space battleships, so that many things in the virtual world will directly appear in the real world.

……

Keeping in the dark, Wei Bo and others are checking the production of column materials in the workshop.

At the same time, radio and television programs in the virtual world, as well as various cultural products, are full of the atmosphere of war.

This makes the player feel like they are really in a state of war.

In order to prevent players from feeling that the game playability and experience are not good in the boring work.

Game operators are also trying to find ways to increase fun, plot conflicts, and a sense of participation.

For example, in some bases in the game, sudden murder cases will randomly appear, allowing players to participate in solving the case, or be directly framed as the murderer.

There are also all sorts of strange emergencies, including asteroid raids, solar storms, spacecraft lost, biological weapons leaked, and internal rebellions.

In this way, the player has a sense of participation.

Of course, this is also indispensable for the setting of random cheats.

Many players will obtain cheats designed by the game operator in certain links, but these cheats are within a reasonable range and will not disrupt the balance of the game too much.

"Deadly Dark Star: Battle for the Earth" is actually an open virtual world. As long as the game operator is willing, they can play a wave of doomsday crisis, spiritual recovery and other activities at any time.

To some extent, Homo sapiens has planned to operate this virtual world as a second world.

However, in order to avoid affecting the work and life in the real world, the virtual world has a daily online time limit, which can only be online for 6 hours a day, which is consistent with the daily working hours of Homo sapiens.

unknowingly.

Wei Bo and his team have participated in the construction of the Second Pangu Realm, and they are still enjoying it.

Several other space bases also ushered in the first batch of player employees, which to a certain extent promoted the progress of the projects in each base.

Through the game, the average working hours of the company's employees has been increased, which is very subtle.

But this is only the early stage, and the company will definitely announce the truth to everyone in the later stage.

It’s just that Homo sapiens company’s technical level is not enough at this stage, there is no way to determine the technical level of the six-claw civilization, and there is no way to guarantee that it can defeat the opponent 100%, so this method of “overtime” is chosen.

In the game, Homo sapiens entered the wartime mode, and this part of the wartime mode will quickly be realized in the real world universe as time goes by.

At the same time, the advantage of doing so is to prevent the earth from directly entering a wartime state, which will affect the lives of employees.

After all, if Homo sapiens directly announces that it has entered a wartime state, saying that an alien civilization may threaten human civilization, it is very likely to cause panic in an instant and cause internal panic.

But now through the game, some people can adapt to the rhythm of confrontation with the six-claw civilization as players.

Human beings are afraid of the unknown, which is determined by genetic instinct.

And to overcome this fear is to face the fear and know the true face of fear.

As long as everyone knows the details of the six-claw civilization, then human civilization will not be caught off guard.

And the free world didn't care too much about the holographic virtual game that Homo sapiens company suddenly launched internally. They are still licking their wounds, hoping that the employees of Homo sapiens company will be entertained to death.

Chapter 614 Going to Deep Space

Galaxy 5 November.

It has been more than a month since Homo sapiens launched "Deadly Dark Star: Defense of the Earth".

During this period, the number of daily players of the game has been steadily increasing, with an average of 5700-6300 million players per day.

In the dark, Homo sapiens quickly invested in more sync robots and sync servers.

There are currently a total of 12 players, unknowingly, being included in the synchronization server.

Although many employees with bright minds have more or less noticed some information hidden in this game.

After all, those six-claw civilizations have too much technology and cultural information, and it doesn't look like a "virtual civilization" made up at all, but like a real six-claw civilization.

It's just that these employees who are aware of the problem are also smart people. They know that since the company transmits information in this way, the company must have the company's ideas and plans. They had better not talk too much and just watch the company operate quietly.

And the game "Deadly Dark Star: Defense of the Earth" is indeed very attractive.

After all, this is the second world created by Homo sapiens with all its efforts, and there are thousands of professional science fiction writers, sociologists, scientific researchers, and intelligence agents behind it.

These small stories and dungeons weaved make the plot conflicts in the virtual world ups and downs.

Many employees, who can eat and drink comfortably, pursue excitement and a sense of accomplishment, which can also be realized in this virtual world.

Under such a silent development, Homo sapiens company's bases and industries in outer space also expanded rapidly.

Moon.

The huge circular track on the back has completed the laying of the last part of the solar panels.

The three towers connected to the ring track also connect the last part of the track into the ring track.

But after these circular orbits and tower orbits are connected together, it means that the spacecraft accelerated by electromagnetic can fly from the tower orbit to deep space.

The orbital directions of these three towers are also different, because this is to facilitate the flight of the spacecraft when it leaves the moon during the launch process.

The tower track itself can only adjust the direction in a small range. For the direction of a large angle, the tower track obviously has no way to adjust.

Therefore, it is necessary to build three towers.

In fact, the three towers are only preliminary. According to the planning and design, there are a total of six launch towers for the lunar mass projector.

But three are enough for now.

The reason why we want to build a mass projector on the moon is actually to carry people to alien planets such as Venus and Mars.

This is also an option.

Even if Homo sapiens has completed the development of high-power nuclear plasma thrusters, the speed of the spacecraft is still an obstacle to the development of the universe.

The high-power plasma thruster can increase the speed from 1.5 to 0 kilometers per second in 35 years.

This speed is basically the limit of the plasma thruster.

It's not that it can't exceed this speed, but it's not necessary.

Space navigation is not blindly reckless. If you keep accelerating, not only will the speed increase a little bit, but the fuel of the spacecraft will also be consumed quickly. When the spacecraft reaches the target area, it needs to brake.

Therefore, to a certain extent, if the spacecraft can be given a relatively high initial velocity when it is launched, it can save a lot of fuel or working fluid.

And this task of endowing the spacecraft with initial velocity can only be given to the mass projector.

As for the nuclear explosion propulsion scheme, which was the specialty of the Homo sapien company's space division, there is definitely no way to use it in manned spaceflight.

In the final analysis, the nuclear explosion propulsion scheme is too simple and crude. It can instantly give the spacecraft a speed of more than ten kilometers per second in a sub-vacuum environment. Continuous nuclear explosions can directly increase the speed of the spacecraft to the limit of 1200 kilometers per second.

The problem is that this method can only be used to transport objects and non-mammals, otherwise, even the newly transformed human beings will not be able to withstand the terrifying instantaneous acceleration.

And the acceleration through the circular orbit of the mass projector belongs to uniform acceleration, which will not cause too much pressure on the body.

The same is the muzzle velocity endowed by the mass catapult, which can also reach 15 kilometers per second.

The sub-vacuum environment on the back of the moon has a very good effect on the blessing of the mass projector.

With the closure of the three tower tracks and the ring track, it means that the mass catapult can be officially put into use.
