Evolution of Beyond the Stars Volume 1: The Beginning of Eden o1226RTs time March 22, 2o24.
There is a lot of traffic outside the Metropolitan Opera House in the United States. A grand opera performance will be held here tonight, and a famous speaker from China will also perform a world tour here.
The repertoire of opera performances includes not only classic operas such as "Turandot" and "La Traviata", but also famous modern opera performances such as "Cats" and "Red Tide".
But none of the above is the highlight of tonight. The week-long performance did not really reach a full house until Friday.
Because tonight, Li Lin, a famous speaker from China, will kick off his world tour speech performance here.
The reason why the first tour was arranged in the United States instead of his hometown in China is because Li Lin believed that as a wanderer who had studied abroad since he was thirteen years old, he should complete his speech and performance by returning home.
Therefore, in terms of the entire performance schedule, Li Lin placed China, his hometown, last.
The United States was the starting point for him to study abroad with his father.
…
"Please come this way."
The Grand Theater was packed with seats, and many guests who came here came with smiles on their faces. The overall atmosphere gave people a very harmonious feeling.
However, Chu Yichen's seat was still occupied by an unruly person.
Although he was a little angry, the other party's amicable tone of discussion forced him to give up his due rights and silently choose to give in.
After being taken to a corner by the staff and sitting down, Chu Yichen looked at the crowd around him and silently took out his asthma spray and took a sip.
The woman sitting next to him looked at him with a slightly surprised expression.
Chu Yichen's expression was very indifferent. He put away his asthma medicine, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
After about ten minutes, as the music sounded, the noise in the theater gradually disappeared, and the host came on stage to do some brief procedural work.
As a burst of laughter rang out, the music suddenly turned up louder, and when Chu Yichen opened his eyes, he saw Li Lin walking to the stage.
…
——The following is the content of the speech——
Although...um...wait a minute.
As you can see, I don't seem to be suitable for this stage. Especially when I came today, I was thinking whether I should ask my assistant to dress like a medieval nobleman. In this case, I would stand on the stage area.
If I am nervous, I can also use bel canto to cover up my nervousness, and the vibrato will be well hidden!
just kidding.
I believe that some of you here today know me, and some of you don’t, so I will give a brief introduction to myself.
My name is Chu Yichen.
Well, very brief.
To be honest, I really don’t feel like giving a complicated self-introduction, because it can easily remind me of some bad memories of being arranged on a blind date after I returned to China.
Um, do you know what a blind date is?
Oh! Some friends know this! It seems like it’s not easy for you, brother!
In fact, rather than saying a lot about my academic qualifications, rewards and punishments, which can add authority to what I said and delivered, I hope to bring you something more real, like the two
A passer-by friend who seemed to like the other person and chatted for a while.
I don't hope that I can change anyone's mind, I just feel that I want to say something, I want to say something, so I came here, um... I spent a lot of money to rent such a big theater, and I invite everyone to come and listen to me.
Well, it seems quite willful.
Okay, let’s get to the point.
Look at the title.
Today's title is "RTs".
Is there any friend who would like to tell everyone on my behalf what RTs are?
Well, my favorite interactive session! Moreover, this beauty is really beautiful!
Have you ever been on a blind date?
Um, no.
Oh, that's a pity. No, I mean, you must not try it. Although China now has many concepts that are worth learning, but to be honest, you should not learn such things as blind dates.
Okay, okay
So, can you tell everyone loudly what RTs are?
Well, RTs is the abbreviation of Rea1-Timestrategygame, which means real-time strategy game.
Hmm! You're great! I was just thinking that I could help you if you couldn't explain it clearly, but it seems that I overthought it, and I seemed to have spelled the word wrong subconsciously.
OK thank you. Please sit down.
So, many people may be wondering, why did I spend 300 dollars to come here, but I have to listen to a Chinese talking to me about RTs, or in other words, about games?
Have I been cheated?
Um?
Yes, you have been deceived. I will also talk to you about rap and hip-hop in the next two days, but unfortunately, I heard that one of the principles of met is that there is no refund!
This is very similar to a certain men's club in our country.
But you can call the police.
Okay, no more joking, let’s get back to the topic.
In the speech promotion I published, I said that I would use three days and three speeches to explain two books to you in detail.
One is "Unknown Desert" written by me and "Freedom Awareness" written by You Gege.
Many people here should have read these two books. Of course... there are also many people who have not read them. For example, the three hundred guests I invited today probably have not read them, because I can see that they are sitting on the
This friend in the row already wanted to call the police.
Is it sir?
Okay, I know you are a little restless, but trust me, in the next two hours, you will definitely...
I regret not calling the police at the beginning.
Speaking of these two books, I will not mention the ones I wrote myself for the moment. The book "Freedom Awareness" about Ms. Yougege is much more famous than me.
So... unfortunately, I sent her three invitation letters, but she politely returned them all.
Hmm... I think she should be busy on a blind date. I can understand that this is a pain point for every contemporary young person.
Seriously.
How many people have played RTs type games?
Oh! Friend! You are great! Thank you for participating! I really mean it, but please put your hands down, I have done my research in advance.
Only more than 900 of the 3,175 spectators present had played this type of game.
Therefore, I need to take some time to explain to you what an RTs game is and why I used the title RTs on the first day.
assistant.
Speaking of RTs games, or games...it seems that it has never been so acceptable to the public, just like in our banquets in China, dog meat is generally not on the table.
Because of what? Not just tradition.
It also contains prejudice.
But I am not here to prove the game today, but I hope that you will temporarily put aside your prejudices about games, or the established inertial thinking, listen to me, follow me, and experience the relationship between some RTs games and these two books.
.
When it comes to RTs games, we have to mention two relatively representative classics.
"StarCraft" and "Warcraft".
They are all games owned by Blizzard.
It has a history of nearly thirty years since it was sold.
Thirty years is a very long time and also very incredible.
Maybe these games seem to have become more and more perfect today, but what I want to say is that even after thirty years, the core of some things will not change.
More specifically, the game mode of RTs will not change.
Just like "StarCraft".
In this game, players as commanders can choose one of the three forces of humans, gods, and insects as their own force system, and build their own army according to the rules of the game to compete with other players or AI.
But what I want to talk about today is not how to play this game in detail, but to peel off its outer skin and extract its inner bones for everyone to take a look at.
Take the human race as an example.
In the game, as the commander, we start with an interstellar base and several scvs that can collect resources and build other infrastructure. Players are commonly known as "peasants".
It is the most basic existence of this game.
Because only if there are enough "peasants" to collect, can we have the resources needed for construction and development.
There are two types of resources in the game, one is crystal ore and the other is gas.
But these are not the key points. We can regard these as a unified concept, that is, disposable resources.
With the collection and accumulation of resources, players as commanders can build their own barracks, scientific research facilities, and military factories according to the game settings for subsequent army production.
This is a very simple architecture, but it is also very rigorous and complete.
When facilities are built and resources continue to be collected and accumulated, players as commanders can build their own armies. At the same time, they can also improve and strengthen their own army system by tilting and investing resources in research.
Finally build a powerful army to win the game.
The above is the core structure of this game.
After talking about the core structure, let’s briefly talk about how junior players will play this game.
How do you think it should be played?
Okay, let me give you a simple example.
We must use as many resources as possible to create "peasants" to saturate our resource collection.
Then we have to start building barracks, upgrading technology, and creating an army.
The next step is to order our troops to go to the battlefield and fight according to our command.
And fighting inevitably involves losses, and it’s hard to say whether you’ll win or lose.
Then you can only continue to collect resources, and then continue to build an army.
This is how beginner players play.
What about players at a slightly higher level?
From the early stage, they will send small forces to massacre the other party's resource gatherers, also known as "peasants". This can greatly reduce the other party's resource collection efficiency and volume, thereby limiting the other party's development.
degree in order to widen the gap between the two sides and establish one's own advantages.
Take the earliest tactics such as "field camp" and "base to hide your face" as examples, which are typical examples of early harassment gameplay.
Even if more advanced players will not harass others, they will try their best to prevent enemy harassment. At this time, the game will easily enter the later stages.
Pay attention to this "late period".
Please also keep in mind that the topic I want to talk about today is not about games, but about using the concept of RTs to discuss the two books written by Yougege and I.
In the later stages, resources gradually dried up and investment in science and technology reached a bottleneck. What the two sides competed with at this time was their respective military strength and strategic deployment.
At this time, the "population limit" that was originally not of much concern began to attract people's attention.
Especially when all resources disappear, the "peasants" who are important creators in the initial stage will be given away by players, and sometimes they will be disposed of themselves.
Because only in this way can more troops be created within the limited "population" constraint.
The above is the core and gameplay of RTs games, and all these skeletons are also part of its charm.
From the shallower to the deeper, this is my consistent writing style.
I am used to using well-known or simpler concepts to extend a relatively complex point of view.
To this end, I specially invited 300 special guests.
They come from three different classes.
One hundred of them are people from the lower class, including farm workers, cashiers in the market, factory operators, and glass cleaners in buildings...
They sit in the front row.
Behind them, these one hundred people are representatives of middle-class families, including fast food restaurant owners, bus drivers, bank managers, stock brokers, etc.
They sit in the second row.
In the third row, which is the area now illuminated by lights, these people are representatives of the elite.
Note that I am talking about elites, not aristocrats or management, but the elite class in the true sense.
Among them are airliner captains, famous lawyers, artists, oil company presidents, Nobel Prize winners, special forces and astronauts from NASA, etc.!
I personally invited these three types of people from all continents in the United States.
I am honored that you can come to my speech, and I sincerely thank you for coming!
Then someone may want to ask.
I talked about RTs and invited these three types of guests. What is the purpose? Who is it to belittle? Or is it to criticize the ugliness of capital?
No no no.
neither.
My dear friends, the title of my speech today is "RTs", but the theme of my speeches for these three days is "The Future"!
By borrowing the concept of RTs, I want everyone to have a more thorough understanding of our human social structure.
In other words, the rules of the game for our human social civilization.
This kind of rule is simply "class character", but it is different from the "class character" that we are usually familiar with and understand. It can even be said that it is not the same concept at all.
Because our social structure is more complex.
It is obviously impossible that only the four structures "peasants", "buildings" and "army" and "commander" exist.
But what I want to say is that in RTs games, the rules we set are to win a war and win the game.
In real life, the rules we set are ultimately to "serve people" and seek happiness for more people.
In other words, no matter what kind of system or country we exist in, the concept of society has been designed to satisfy the desires of more people since its birth. It is a concentrated expression of human will to pursue ultimate happiness.
The only difference from RTs games is that in RTs games, every move of any unit is directly ordered by the commander. They have no personal will and will only obey orders mechanically.
This is completely different from our society and our real human beings.
Therefore, using RTs to describe society can only describe a concept abstractly and roughly, but cannot truly reflect the true face of our society.
Why?
Because our world is composed of countless variables.
Especially in the United States, which advocates freedom and democracy, my words are not ironic.
I'm just talking about a reality.
Here, everyone's spiritual will is greatly respected and satisfied, but this cannot be directly linked to happiness.
It cannot be said that I am happy if my personal will is absolutely respected.
This point can be described with an example among the people at the bottom.
For example, the mayor hopes to build a railway to solve the problem of urban traffic congestion. However, because personal will is absolutely respected, when a painter thinks that he does not need to use the railway to commute to get off work, he firmly refuses to build a railway. When he gave way and never allowed the railway to pass through his door, his personal will was absolutely respected, but there was no doubt that the needs of more people could not be met.
What I said is not just a random fabrication, but a specific example. I believe that some of the hundred guests must feel the same way, right?
Okay, okay, please don't pay attention. I don't mean to stir up disputes, and I hope everyone can stay calm enough today.
I hope everyone can listen carefully instead of rushing to express.
So next, will the middle class be absolutely happy if their personal will is absolutely respected?
I think Mrs. Mills must agree with this point.
Because I know that she has to work overtime every day. If her will is absolutely respected, she can go to and from get off work on time, so that she does not need to see a psychologist or take antidepressant drugs every day.
Right? Mrs. Mills?
You are right... Before I came, I was still hesitating whether to go to the appointment... But it seems that I came to the right place...
