It's not just Cheche and his friends who are suffering from withdrawal reactions due to being disconnected from the Internet for three days. Basically, all players have an indescribable "feeling of emptiness" after being forced back to reality.
In Transia, they are warriors, heroes, village chiefs, master craftsmen, and respected people.
But in the real world, they can only stay in their homes, hoping that this damn pandemic will end soon, and have to accept the sore throat feeling once a day, and even move their legs and feet can only be done inside the house.
It's like being trapped.
But everyone is a reasonable person, and if life is full of inconveniences, they will not complain or slander them at will. After all, happiness has always been a matter of comparison.
There are new posts on the forum almost every few minutes, and on the first night while waiting for the server to restart, good news spread on the forum, about a third-party platform funded by some rich brothers and sisters.
"Transia Tavern" will be online soon, and the data connection with the forum may be completed tomorrow.
This means that in addition to the forum, everyone will have a second place to share and have fun.
After all, the forum of "Real World" is just a place for exchanging information and for players to communicate with the development team. Although this thing is great, it does lack many entertainment functions. After all, in this era, visiting the forum has become a
It’s a backward pastime for uncles who can’t keep up with the trend.
Of course, the Transia Tavern APP allows more than just players to enter.
It is open to all "potential players" who have filled out the game application. It is essentially a tool to attract traffic to "Real World", so many players have expressed concerns about the social environment of this APP on the forum.
It is the same with any circle. Once there are too many people, it will no longer be pure. But if a small circle wants to develop and does not attract people to join from the outside, it is destined to only enclose the territory and grow by itself.
In the past, Fa Ge's test team screened new players to join the game. Now that this APP is online, each guild can use it to select more members. This is obviously an opportunity, but it is also a challenge.
Since the development team allows players to develop third-party APPs, it means that they intend to delegate the authority to select new members to the players. If the game environment suddenly deteriorates due to the entry of new players, the development team will not be blamed.
Already.
The investors, Brother Xiaofu, Lao Huo, Mrs. Shui and Xiao Weiming, all feel that they have a heavy responsibility.
They discussed it privately, and when handing over the management of the APP to Zhong Zhongge, they repeatedly emphasized that the threshold must be set. It was not that the player groups were treated differently, but mainly that the current hard-won game environment in Transia must be good.
maintain.
There is a group of Hunxie who are not recognized by their relatives. Not to mention the safety issues of NPCs, just a series of cunning operations performed during the black disaster are enough to greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the player group.
Brother Zhongzhong agreed wholeheartedly, so the day before the APP was launched, a group of "professionals" settled on the platform that was undergoing final testing and began the management work skillfully.
At Brother Zhongzhong’s workplace, the members under his command are working normally.
Everyone wears a mask and must undergo a nucleic acid test before going to work. In the context of a nationwide lockdown, public officials still have to shoulder their responsibilities to ensure the operation of the system. What is even more difficult is that they have to work overtime today to complete the safety inspection of the APP.
sex test.
Jie Wei Chi Ke and Lang Zi Ge brainstormed there to add more items to the original 199 test questions to ensure that all people who enter the APP have some understanding of "Real Alien World" and that the game tendency is order.
camp.
At the very least, it must be neutral.
As for Brother Zhongzhong himself, he is currently participating in a high-level video conference in his office.
Master Qin is also among them.
He was the convener of the meeting, but it was not an internal meeting. Representatives from other brother units were also listening to Brother Zhongzhong's report.
"Currently, according to our understanding and calculations, the number of potential players of "Real World" has exceeded 100,000, and this is despite our information control.
The 'potential players' mentioned here refer to the number of people who have learned about this rumor and will actively search for information and pay attention. In addition to the current player and reserve player groups of about 5,000 people, there are also more than 200 large and small social groups.
The group is built around discussion of the game.
These groups are all under our monitoring.
However, Alpha Company has not actively recruited more players to participate in the operation codenamed "Alien". On the contrary, they have maintained a rather passive strategy and have been deliberately controlling the speed and number of players entering the game.
According to the calculations of the actuaries of our team, the number of players and the number of residents of Transia are in a standard ratio of 1:100. This ratio has not changed from the beginning to now.
Therefore, it can be determined that the population ratio of warriors to residents claimed by the development team in a previous announcement is true.
This may explain Alpha's recruitment strategy."
Brother Zhongzhong, who was wearing a mask, turned the document in his hand to the next page. He looked at the big guys who were listening carefully in the video interface in front of him and continued to report:
"Now I would like to report to you the results of the current tracking and lurking work on this project. Thanks to the assistance of our brother units, we currently have more than 200 lurking personnel in Transia, and have already cooperated with several major players in the game.
The guild has reached a cooperation agreement, and a fixed quota will be obtained every month.
Our lurking personnel are professional and efficient. At present, they have penetrated into the military industry, military, commercial and management levels of Transia. They can basically ensure that any information in any aspect can be reported and summarized as soon as possible.
And through contact with the player community, we have now mastered the management rights and part of the operation rights of the third-party APP that will be launched soon.
Considering that the APP will further share the review and entry rights of game players in the future, I can responsibly assure you that the impact of the "Real World" game on the social level is still under control.
We are confident that we will continue to maintain this low-intensity information control so that it will not have more impact on the social level."
The big guys in the video nodded, obviously very satisfied with the results of the working group, but Brother Zhongzhong knew that these big guys gathered here today were not here to listen to what he said.
So he closed the document and said:
"Then, next, the scientist Xiaolin of our working group will report to you some of the eye-catching discoveries we have made on the 'Alien World' project."
Brother Zhongzhong handed over the right to speak to Mengha, who had to report on her work today, so she packed it up. Wearing a mask, she did not waste time on greetings, but picked up the summary in her hand and went straight to the topic of the report:
“Based on the tracking and inspections that my colleagues and I have conducted over the past few months, we can confirm that the area where the ‘Alien World’ project is located is an external space beyond current scientific understanding.
We cannot be sure whether the target world is within our detectable star field. Several colleagues who are familiar with astronomy and I have conducted a series of tracking and inspections of the starry sky in Transia. We can confirm that the star sea there is different from what we currently know.
The similarity of the star sea will not exceed 1%.
In other words, it is very likely to be located in deep space that we cannot explore.
Maybe even on the other side of the physical universe.
Although there is no solid evidence, I actually don't think that the target world is in the same dimension as ours.
My guess is that the target world should be located outside our universe, because the 'spiritual energy' existing in the other world is completely inconsistent with any laws we currently know that apply to the entire universe.
In a sense, it even challenges the speed of light, the universal standard value in the universe.
In other words, the theory of parallel worlds or multiverses has actually been confirmed by this project. Outside the universe we live in, there are indeed other parallel universes, in the terminology of psionicists, that is, other dimensions!"
This conclusion caused a stir among the big guys present at the meeting.
The surprise and uneasiness could be felt across the screen, but they did not interrupt Mengha's report. Mr. Qin stretched out his hand to signal Mengha to continue.
As the person in charge of the project, Mr. Qin knew that the "material" Mengha had in hand was far more than just announcing that "physics no longer exists."
"What I want to report to you next are some practical findings. Different from the previous conclusions that have no evidence to support, the various findings I mentioned below have been proven to be valid by various teams in the working group.
The first is the alchemy project that exists in the other world.
Although most of the alchemy drawings we have collected so far cannot be revealed due to the inability to find alternative materials and lack of psychic support, our team of herbalists has indeed perfectly reproduced the opponent's alchemy in the past five months.
Thirty-seven potions in the system.
Most are used to cure a specific disease, and there are six boosters and three antidotes."
Mengha paused, as if she wanted to surprise the bosses on purpose. After a few seconds, she said in a serious tone:
"The greatest significance of this study is to announce that seven severe allergies, acrophobia and motion sickness, which were difficult to alleviate before, finally have a cure. In addition, our researchers are using these alchemical extracts to treat
Treatment of patients with schizophrenia and depression.
The progress so far is encouraging.
The brother unit is selecting subjects to test six physical and mental enhancers. According to current reports, four of them have been proven to be effective.
Although the effects of physical augmentations in our world lacking psychic influence are not as pronounced as in Transia, when thirty volunteer subjects were injected with the drug, their strength, reaction speed, and ability to withstand blows increased by more than
20% improvement.
This experiment also proved that our world and the other side's world are completely consistent in at least some basic physical laws, but the other side has special factors such as psychic energy.
I guess those mysterious third-party observers did not randomly choose the two planets for their 'social experiment', but they purposefully connected the two worlds."
This report made the bosses feel less uneasy, and even two of them smiled.
They are representatives of the medical community. Now that the working group has announced this result, it proves that they have another batch of "specific drugs" in their hands. This is great news for patients who are suffering from diseases.
But Moeha’s report is not over yet.
She continued:
"The following are some details worthy of attention hidden in the medieval fantasy background of the target world where Transia is located. We can now confirm that a 'super civilization' existed in the target world a thousand years ago!
They called it the 'Age of the Creator' or the 'Golden Age'.
At present, players have not progressed far enough in the game to reveal the true appearance of the Golden Age, but we have already got a lot of clues.
The technology that is now confirmed in that golden age is extremely high biological modulation science. They have surpassed the stage of genetic engineering and entered the extremely unscientific level of 'gene grafting', which can create new ones by rewriting the genetic structure of life.
life.
In the game, we saw with our own eyes that a group of cultists named "Dusk" seized the knowledge of the Creator and created a biological weapon called "Rat Man" through large-scale genetic engineering.
My assistants and I have carefully reviewed the diaries and genetic engineering roadmaps we seized. We cannot be sure whether there is psychic involvement in those creation technologies, but what is certain is that if we can obtain those creations related to bioengineering
Technology, then our genetic research in reality will surely obtain quite amazing reference materials.
Based solely on the scientific research value, my suggestion to you is to send more professional researchers to Transia to issue a more professional conclusion report.
After all, I am not a researcher majoring in biotechnology, and my conclusions may have some subjective biases.
In addition, in a previous battle, the main NPC of "Real World", Mr. Murphy, the vampire lord who was suspected to be concerned by observers, used a technological device from the Golden Age.
I recorded an image for you to check out, and then I will explain to you how this device works.
It must be stated in advance that although the way it works seems magical and not scientific at all, the fact is that it is entirely possible that this thing can be produced at some point in the future by our current technology."
After saying that, Mengha projected an unprocessed picture on his video. In the picture, it was Mr. Murphy who activated two matrix generators to adjust them to kinetic energy neutralization mode, and then caught the three meteorites.
Amazing picture.
Mr. Qin was a little embarrassed.
Because he appeared on the screen, and he was shouting slogans very well, and he was leading the players to attack the jackals.
This discovery made the big guys laugh kindly, and made Master Qin cough helplessly.
After the CG was played, Mengha reappeared. She did her homework and explained to the bosses the working principle of the kinetic energy neutralization force field in a very simple but truthful tone, and said with great certainty:
"Although it is completely impossible to create a similar shield structure based on our current scientific level, and the relevant research is only in the stage of theoretical accumulation, the effects of these two defense devices are in line with those predicted by many colleagues.
The effective method matches perfectly, which can also prove the existence of the "golden age".
It was definitely an advanced civilization supported by certain scientific principles.
Now that we have confirmed that the target world really exists, this means that we can search for some knowledge from those relics of the Golden Age that may have a beneficial impact on our development.
But unfortunately, Transia and even the entire continent are currently under the threat of war. Before the war called the ‘Black Disaster’ ends, it will be difficult for us to mobilize player forces to conduct in-depth exploration of the Golden Age.”
Mengha's report ends here.
Next is Mr. Qin's report, which is concise and to the point.
"The results of the working group are remarkable. They discovered so many points worthy of attention only after peeling off the cocoons with limited manpower and financial support. I will simply share my thoughts after conducting a 'personal investigation'.
No matter what the other party’s purpose is, or what the other party wants to convey to us, the technological power contained in this gaming helmet alone is enough to make us determined to upgrade the scale of the operation.
As everyone knows, I am a cripple myself. I have spent thirty years in a wheelchair, but I can move automatically there. This alone makes me unable to give up this comfort helmet.
Not to mention the experimenter Afeng who is currently under our care and observation.
His situation is unsolvable in the real world, but he got a second life in Transia. The same example is Xiao Ashina.
I think we should not set such ambitious goals to explore the legacy of the Golden Age, but start with the principles of this helmet! Once we figure this thing out, the rewards we can get will be enough to greatly benefit the country."
"But didn't you say that you can't conduct in-depth research on this helmet?"
A very high-level boss said doubtfully:
"If it can't be dismantled, then why not study it in depth."
"We can't help it, but there is someone who can."
Master Qin whispered:
"Maybe we should find a way to take that lady home."
