Chapter 264: Ten Thousand Years of Pseudo History, Phantom of War
Ren Zhong rejected Ma Xiaoling's invitation to the celebration banquet.
In his opinion, the "victory" of using twice as many troops to fight the enemy and almost losing all the troops was not really worth celebrating.
He is slightly more interested in "A History of Ten Thousand Years".
After receiving the reward for opening the "Ten Thousand Years of History", he immediately quit the game and returned to the sleeping space.
Ren Zhong did not open "Ten Thousand Years of History" immediately, but considered the Hewitt Augustus approach in his mind.
At first, he thought that this person had learned ancient and modern military techniques, and thought that the opponent's methods were rigid and nothing more than that.
After chatting with Ma Xiaoling, he found that this person was most likely self-taught and figured out the method of fighting formations on his own.
Coupled with the identity of the other party, things become interesting.
A super-rich second generation who was born with a diamond key in his mouth and could inherit one of the nine major groups actually spent so much time studying the art of war on his own. Since there is no war in reality, he simply used it in a super-high degree of simulation.
The deduction in the game is so meaningful.
Ren Zhong went to check the equity status of the development company behind "The Savage Age".
It is also a listed company, and the announcement can be seen online.
Shenzhen Xun Group’s shareholding ratio is actually not the first, but the second.
The person with the highest shareholding ratio is not a company, but an individual. It is the current chairman of the Mengdu Group and the father of Hewitt.
Ren Zhong continued to search through the corporate yearbook and discovered that Hewitt's father suddenly decided to invest in the game company about twenty years ago, increased investment, and developed "The Savage Age" about fifteen years ago.
Hewitt was just six years old at the time.
This game has been running for fifteen years.
Hewitt himself started to enter the game about ten years ago, when he was sixteen years old, and founded the Golden Lion Army from scratch, and five or six years ago started a long-term expansion of the Second Continent Region.
It has been absolutely dominant for several years and has won the first place in the server many times.
The Golden Lion's overall combat power ranks among the top three in the entire game, but Hewitt's total krypton gold amount is only a few hundred million, not even in the top 50.
He spent a total of hundreds of millions of krypton in ten years, with an average of only tens of millions per year.
Such strength is truly remarkable.
This time, Ma Xiaoling was able to compete with him in a similar way, mainly because of Ren Zhong's 200 million krypton gold, the advantage brought by the version update bonus, and Ren Zhong's own surprise attack, otherwise he would have suffered a disastrous defeat.
"I'm afraid he and I will have a battle sooner or later. A real war."
Ren Zhong thought this in his heart, and immediately opened the thousand-year false history with the thought of being better than nothing.
From the moment he opened the first chapter of Ten Thousand Years of Pseudo-History, Ren Zhong felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment.
Although there are many evocative stories and many crucial turning points of civilization in the 10,000-year history, its main line is the same as Xiao Xingyue's brief statement in the previous timeline.
It all starts with the Pioneer spacecraft that arrived at the Source Star 10,000 years ago carrying millions of frozen embryos.
Human beings fled here, but they became foreign invaders again.
What ruled the Origin Star at that time was the Ruin Beast Civilization established by the small Legion Beast clan.
One side is a representative of carbon-based civilization, and the other side is a silicon-based civilization, and they only have a planet with limited resources. There is no way for the two to communicate. As soon as they came into contact, the war started directly.
In the early days of the war, humans sitting on starships had an absolute technological advantage. With the ships as the core, they gradually expanded and established strongholds, and then began to use frozen embryos to reproduce the population in large numbers.
In order to break through the invader's stronghold, the Ruin Beast civilization has worked hard for hundreds of years, but it is really unable to cross the fire defense line constructed by the interstellar war-grade weapons on the ship. It can only watch the stronghold and the humans inside continue to grow.
Five hundred years have passed. Starting from millions of frozen embryos, humans have multiplied hundreds of millions of people in their stronghold, and expanded the stronghold into a huge super city.
On the surface, it seems that humans have the absolute upper hand, and domination of the Source Star is just around the corner.
But the starship's energy module finally failed after supporting hundreds of years of continuous consumption.
The large amount of high-tech materials stored on human spacecraft have also been exhausted.
In the past five hundred years, human beings living in super cities have not been able to promote any technological advancement, but have regressed.
After losing the protection of the ship's invincible firepower network, humans gradually fell into a disadvantage, and beasts began to break into the city to cause damage.
Of course, it is not that mankind has not made any progress.
In the past five hundred years, humans have used interstellar-level individual weapons to form headhunter teams, and they have continuously gone out to assassinate powerful high-level legion beasts.
By this time, there were not many Legionmon left.
Nine thousand five hundred years ago, the last top-level legion beast king led hundreds of eighth-level legion beasts, controlled an astronomical unit-level number of ruin beasts, formed an unprecedentedly large army, and launched a desperate attack on the super city.
This battle lasted for nearly ten years.
Ten years later, the legion beasts were slaughtered, and the ruin beast civilization officially collapsed.
Humanity has also exhausted its last interstellar weapons.
Super cities were also razed to the ground, archives were destroyed, and all data stored in the cyber world were lost.
Humanity has also suffered heavy losses.
Human beings who lost their homes were forced to break up into pieces and wander around the source star.
Moreover, due to the loss of all electronic equipment, human beings experienced a cultural gap, and their civilization began to regress and entered the barbaric years.
Small settlements were established one after another on cliffs, mountain peaks, islands, lake centers and other difficult terrains that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In the earliest "history", the underground city of the Qishan Huangren tribe was probably a small settlement at that time.
The territories of humans and beasts began to intersect.
In order to keep the race from extinction, mankind began a dark era of reproduction that lasted for three thousand years.
During these three thousand years, human beings have been trying their best to reproduce, but their settlements have always been invaded by beasts, and villages have been massacred.
Civilizations are constantly being hatched and constantly being destroyed.
It was not until about seven or eight thousand years ago that Xia Yu collected a large amount of historical materials, re-summarized the words used to record knowledge, and then sent brave and unnecessary desperate envoys to carry the words and spread them around the world, and knowledge returned to history.
stage.
After that, one after another amazingly talented and beautiful people took the lead in mastering the method of using the remains of the beasts, and humans began to build larger settlements.
Four to five thousand years ago, a talented politician named Ying Zheng gathered a large number of tribes through alliances to establish the Qin Dynasty, the first small dynasty in the first continent. Humanity entered the era of walled cities.
The historical background of the game "Wild Age" is the period when Ying Zheng was not yet born and the Qin City-State Alliance gradually expanded and developed.
In the following years, I basically watched Ren Zhongdao in full on my watch.
After reading this thousands-year-old pseudo-history, Ren Zhong has to lament that it is too fake to be mistaken for the real thing.
That is to say, he, if it were anyone born on the Origin Star, he would firmly believe in this.
Especially when people insert themselves into those magnificent stories through the retrospective function of "Ten Thousand Years of History", they will be moved to tears by the strong impact of the stories.
Even if he knew it was false, he would still fantasize in his heart, "How wonderful it would be if the story of the humans on the Source Star were really so tragic."
well.
…
On the 118th day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the team that had been training outside for several days drove back to Xinghuo Town.
Ren Zhong called the middle and high-level managers into the small conference room that had just been built by Spark Resources. He didn't say much, only explained some summary things.
"I have told you the complete strategic plan in advance. The next step is execution. In these days, you should have seen my strength, and I have also seen your progress. I am very satisfied and have a guaranteed victory."
"Of course, the odds depend on the odds, and everything still has to be created with our hands. Of course, in the war, I am not your nanny. Whether the people in Spark Town can survive, and how much they can survive, depends on how talented you are.
effort."
"Go! Show the results of our bloody battles these days to your brothers, sisters and friends. Tell them your experience and experience, and also teach some of the tacit cooperation you have developed to others. Don't hide it.
Privately, every deserter in Spark Town is your comrade fighting side by side."
A total of more than 700 people went out this time, 708 came back, and more than 20 people died.
This is unacceptable based on the concept of letting go of the past.
But he compared it horizontally in his mind, and he knew that it was all worth it.
He can be sure that the soldiers who have experienced such intense training will have a high survival rate in the battle of Spark Town.
They can also share their gains with others.
This time, I will go all out, and the number of casualties will definitely be lower than last time, much lower!
…
On the 121st day, at 8:30 in the morning, as the giant jellyfish beast disintegrated on its own, Ren Zhong, wearing a red-fronted armor, personally went into battle to capture the legion beast. The war was over.
Ren Zhong glanced at the battle report of the whole town.
Number of killed: 657.
Number of seriously injured people: 2,655.
Number of minor injuries: 31,222.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed a complete victory.
His eyes swept over the death list, which was neither long nor endless, and he thought to himself, I have achieved my best.
I tried my best.
But war always kills people.
The difference between now and before is that I will make everyone's death as meaningful as possible.
…
Ren Zhong met Xiao Xingyue in his office.
Xiao Xingyue: "Congratulations."
Ren Zhong: "Same joy."
"No wonder you refused our assistance. You did more than we imagined."
Ren Zhong smiled confidently, "It's beyond the imagination of countless people."
"Yes. By the way, as a reporter, I want to ask you a few questions."
Ren Zhong waved his hand, "I'll answer directly."
"ha?"
…
About twenty minutes later, Xiao Xingyue left with her head buzzing again.
What is this!
Not far after she walked out, the voice of the president of the promotion association came through her communicator again.
"I will come to Spark Town tonight to interview him."
"Uh...Okay, President, do you need me to make an appointment with him?"
President: "No need... wait, let's inform him in advance. I must give him enough respect."
