doomsday beta

"You mean, the United States declassified a batch of game pods that sunk in the sea, and analyzed that they were in use before they were damaged in the sea, and suspect that there are still survivors in Japan?"

"Yes."

"Only you got the news?"

"No! I think that a student like me who has no connections other than money can know about it. Then it will not be difficult for successful people with a little bit of power to get news. After all, it is a capitalist country with free speech. "

Guo Jia was silent.

In the past few days to salvage the corpses, it is not that the soldiers have violently dismantled the game cabin.

I thought that the well-preserved remains of the Chinese people could be fished out from inside, but when I opened it, I found that the inside was empty, so I only thought that the traces of the lock of the cabin were the water ingress and malfunction of the machine, and it was unimaginable that there were players who disappeared out of thin air inside.

"There is no doubt that this is corroborated.

Just now, at 23:[-] Beijing time, the East Nine District crossed zero and entered March [-]st. The US government intercepted the special signal fluctuation of the holographic online game from the Japanese ruins. Although they used a helicopter to carry the game cabin to hover over the ruins to land After investigation, it was found that there was no connection to the Japanese service area at all, but signal fluctuations continued to occur.

It took only half an hour for the news to reach the White House, and a rich man I met was able to tease me: Thank you for this era when news spreads faster and faster!At the donation reception that just started on the Upper East Side, many guests broke their wine glasses on the spot and left in a gaffe. You know that the rich there are always inseparable from the government.Leaving aside the question of where the player is teleported to now, at least it can be reasonably judged that there are indeed survivors who still exist in the "Noah's Ark" online Japanese service area. "

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Come in and report the latest news: "Chairman! We have monitored that a large amount of funds have flowed into the account of Genesis Company just now."

The visitor handed out a list of bank accounts.

Guo Jia was astonished to discover that among them were Chinese nationals who had been stranded in Japan and were regarded as dead. The key words that coincided with the list of people without exception were:

Registered players of Noah's Ark.

After closing the file, Guo Jia calmed down his shock, and looked at Jiang Cheng who had just returned to China and asked to meet him alone.

"You said that you want to bring back an important news about "Noah's Ark", that is, about the possibility of players surviving in the game?"

"Of course not. That's just the beginning."

Jiang Cheng took out the materials prepared in advance, started the playback, and showed it to Guo Jia.

"Then it's time for dinner."

Before Guo Jia's eyes was a dynamic video.

At first glance, it is a flat map of the world, which can be played along with the screen. Countries in the world are divided into different service areas, and each area occupies a layer.

These seemingly integrated worlds have long been isolated in layer spaces that do not interfere with each other.

Anyone who has used painting software can understand this concept.

The text next to it explains: "Conceptual diagram of the game service area."

Then, like the branches of the tree diagram, each service area is divided into independent units by administrative units such as provinces or states. Each unit corresponds to a Xinshou village, and these Xinshou villages still occupy a single layer , do not interfere with each other.

Until the player leaves Novice Village and enters the town, similar to the merging of layers, players in the corresponding areas converge.

For example, in China, the East, South, West, and North districts meet each other.

"Now the US server players have passed the town-level test and successfully opened the map of the ancient continent. At this level, the player's activity range has penetrated the fifty states of the United States. It can be seen that when the player continues to improve and crosses layer barriers time and time again, In the end, the service areas of various countries will face each other frankly and restore them as a whole, without any 'separation'. Literally.

And if we use another method, we can temporarily break the layer isolation, which is also the root of my speculation about layer theory. "

"What is it?"

"When I was a player in the US server, I used my spare time to study the game structure of "Noah's Ark" and published related papers. On February 2, the wheel of fortune opened.

Even though St. Valentine's Day brought a lot of trauma to players earlier, and relevant departments prohibited players from participating in large-scale online activities, there are always some young people who are afraid of chaos and like to use rebellion to flaunt themselves.

Before the effective organization of countermeasures, the turntable was caught off guard and turned.

The authorities took some action, if somewhat recklessly, to prevent the expansion pack from being released.They tried to use violent means to crash the game and then terminate the activity, although they were unsuccessful.

The mosaic area on the edge of the game town collapsed due to malicious destruction.

Because of my fame, I acted as a consultant to guide them from where to attack more effectively, and I was fortunate to witness the collapse. "

Jiang Cheng said: "Through the collapsed pit, we can enter the layer diaphragm area, which sounds like a clear and tangible thing.

But in fact, this magical isolated space is more like a flowing medium, which can reach any position in an instant.

At that time, some soldiers accidentally fell into the pit, and fell into a white layer of diaphragm area along the cracks at the bottom of the collapse. They all felt that they had been to other places, similar to the feeling of being separated from their souls. before the eyes.

But in just a moment, they were forcibly kicked off the assembly line.

That moment is the BUG repair time caused by the collapse.

A soldier who got half of his leg stuck in the pit was repelled by the hole when he was repairing himself at the collapsed place, and one leg was squeezed and broken by the reconstructed soil.I imagine this layer medium as a barrier like a portal, as long as you cross the barrier, you can reach any location where the medium exists.

But apparently, it's displacing everything but itself.Therefore, no matter whether it is used for rescue or inquiring, it needs to be completed very quickly. "

"You seem to mean something?"

"I won't say, Chairman, you must have heard the news a long time ago. The United States may launch a second world immigration plan. Although it is still in the discussion, or debate stage, there are already signs in many aspects. For example, there are US server players Troops were found to be stationed online."

Jiang Cheng said: "China is not the only one who has experienced the sinking of Japan and awakened from the illusion of prosperity of holographic games."

Guo Jia was silent, and then said: "Whether there are survivors or layer theory, it is all speculation. It is unknown and uncertain for the time being. Using this as a basis to persuade everyone to carry out relevant large-scale operations is not easy."

Jiang Cheng shrugged: "Then we can only leave it to time."

Apart from one word, it seems that there is no other way to further confirm it.

Fortunately, in just one hour, the signal fluctuation of the Japanese ruins had the result.

The turning point is when Beijing time passes zero o'clock, saying goodbye to February and welcoming March.

"Noah's Ark" officially announced that the public beta has ended successfully, many new rules have been updated, and the shopping mall system has been opened. Players from all over the world can share the platform and purchase goods.

Clicking on a product at random will pop up an information prompt originally used to promote sales and drive purchase desire:

[The player Zhao Yuhang from the Japanese service area has just purchased 995 items]

Then click on another product and pop up the purchase information again:

[Player Sun Hai from the Japanese service area, just bought 995 items]

Then you will find that no matter which product you click on, there will be similar purchase information:

[Player Zhang Xi'an from the Japanese service area, just purchased 995 items]

[Jin Feifei, a player from the Japanese service area, just purchased 995 items]

These Chinese-sounding players all bought 995 items. What kind of signal do they seem to want to convey?

Nine nine five!

Nine nine five!

In Chinese homonym, it means save me.

The survival of Chinese nationals in the Japanese online service area is already obvious.

Relevant departments quickly counted the total number of accounts flowing to Genesis, which turned out to be over one million.Among them, there are so many users from China. Such a turnaround not only exceeded Guo Jia's imagination, but also made the old leaders at the high-level meeting sit up in shock!

Those players who are left behind in the Japanese online service area and cannot go offline don't know what's going on!

Immediate rescue is obviously imminent!

Guo Jia paced back and forth in the conference room.

"Noah's Ark, "Noah's Ark", it turned out to be like this..."

In myths and stories, the great flood will destroy all living beings, and the gods created Noah's Ark to carry survivors and male and female pairs of birds and beasts to escape the disaster, leaving behind the fire of life.

But in reality, Japan is facing destruction, with 1.03 million citizens sinking into the sea, and only the six-figure players hidden behind the 3 survived after logging in and going online.

Perhaps the launch of "Noah's Ark" has explained everything with its name:

Beyond that, everything is doomed.

It uses a posture beyond imagination, like a miracle, as the only place where disaster can be avoided, it will carry the survivors who have the opportunity to land, and pass on their lives again...

Looking back at the product description at this time, the original cookie-cutter content has a heavy feeling of crying blood.

Guo Jia has vaguely noticed that behind every word, there is a real and heavy weight beyond ten thousand gold.

"This is a sandbox game full of human nature, which can change and create the world with a high degree of freedom."
