This Game Is Too Realistic

"...This is the Gemini. We have received orders from [Command] and will assist you in executing the 'Final Battle' plan. Please open the deflector shield, guide our landing ship to land, and handover work with our personnel. ”

"This is the Orion... We have accepted your request and are confirming it with the command..."

"... Gemini number received [... (noise)... please reply as soon as possible..."

"The Orion received... We are unable to confirm the legality of the order, and the application is submitted to the Military Commission for arbitration..."

"...The request is rejected. This is a time of war. Our enemies are slaughtering our people. We do not have time to wait for the committee's arbitration. Please execute the order immediately!"

"...(noise)..."

"...Hello Orion, what are you doing? Our ship is detecting unstable gravitational field fluctuations. Please turn off the warp engine and deflector shield immediately! Repeat, turn off the warp engine and deflector shield immediately. Accept Check!"

"...(noise)..."

"……Good night."

Zhao Tianhe didn't have many choices.

He was almost certain that from the moment he disobeyed the order, the neutron torpedoes on the Gemini had been aimed at him and his men, and would definitely attack him before he entered the hyperspace channel.

If he chose to resign himself to his fate, it would be tantamount to committing suicide with the entire crew of the Orion, and handing over the tens of thousands of neutron torpedoes on the ship to those blood-eyed lunatics.

For the sake of the Constitution he was loyal to, and for the sake of survival on the surface, he had no choice but to start the warp engine and fire the neutron torpedo on the launcher at friendly forces.

This is his decision alone.

However, we did get the tacit approval of all the officers and soldiers of the Ministry.

They and Zhao Tianhe are the same type of people, they are both traditional soldiers who are not so conservative among the conservatives.

They would rather turn their guns on themselves than on their unarmed compatriots.

Under the cover of gravitational field disturbance, the torpedo successfully hit the Gemini.

The continuously accelerating torpedo can resist the rejection of the deflector shield, and the warhead penetrates the hull armor and releases a high-energy neutron beam.

The crew of No. 3000 will die in an instant, they will not even be aware of their own death, and this process will be painless.

At the same time, the Orion cruiser also jumped into the hyperspace channel at the same time.

Everything happened in an instant, and except for a few crew members who participated in the "rebellion", the vast majority of the crew on the ship had almost no idea.

This is actually for them.

After all, no matter what the reason is, it is true that the Orion sank friendly forces.

That's also three thousand lives, and it can't be easily dismissed with a word of extenuating circumstances.

Those who issue orders and those who execute them will eventually be judged by the law, and Zhao Tianhe has never thought of excusing his crimes.

He just hopes to put as much responsibility on himself as possible and let his subordinates bear as little as possible, so as to reduce or avoid punishment.

As for now, what he has to do is to bring the truth back to the solar system as soon as possible and stop the so-called "end war" conspiracy of the top brass of the Aerospace Forces.

That is not a war for the future of civilization at all, it is simply a replica of the "Torch Project"!

This is what the Orion cruiser said before entering the hyperspace channel.

And what happened after that was a strange situation witnessed by all the crew members on the ship.

They got stuck in the hyperspace channel...

Zhao Tianhe frankly told Luo Yi and Wu Xinghuan the entire incident.

Regardless of whether the two of them can accept it emotionally, they have no other choice now.

"...I don't expect my frankness to gain your forgiveness or understanding. My faults will naturally be judged by the law, and I have no intention of escaping. But now is not the time to do this. We must Let’s get through this difficult time together.”

"One of you is a known survivor, and the other is the most knowledgeable scholar on the ship. You are the ones most likely to break the situation."

When he said this, Zhao Tianhe looked at Dr. Wu and said seriously.

"Especially you, I want to hear your advice...whether the method I mentioned is feasible."

"Deceiving the observer who opened the box... There is no precedent for this kind of behavior, and there is no 'successful example' left."

Wu Xinghuan touched his nose and felt the trembling of the tip of his index finger.

This will be a huge gamble.

But it seems to be the only chance of winning.

They must take the initiative to give up all the things they are destined to give up, which may not only be their lives, but also other things including glory and faith...

And the only settlement in exchange is to let "the part that can survive" survive.

In other words, it is the unobserved part, or the part whose death is uncertain.

After serving on this starship for so long, this was the first time he felt such heavy pressure.

Facing the pairs of eyes, he took a deep breath and continued calmly.

"First of all, we have to change the layout of the ship, including the coating and markings on the outside of the ship... and send away the people who opened the box before leaving the hyperspace channel."

"But these are actually small details. We and the Gemini are sister ships, so it's not difficult to pretend to be each other... What's really difficult is the other two things."

Looking at the three people who were listening carefully, Wu Xinghuan raised two fingers and continued calmly.

"First of all, we must understand the heavenly beings. At present, we only understand them from the few words of "opening the box" [They are a fusion of a group of digital beings, and we have no intention of the survivors on the earth."

Zhao Tianhe frowned.

"Isn't this enough?"

Wu Xinghuan shook his head.

"Of course it is not enough. First of all, the 'box-opener' is only one of the 'observers', and the information he understands is neither equal to the information understood by all the observers, nor is it absolutely accurate information."

"If you want the two pieces to be spliced ​​together perfectly, every edge and corner must match...otherwise we will run into trouble at the other level."

Wu Mengke asked thoughtfully.

"What's the trouble on the terrestrial level?"

"This is unknown, and anything is possible. After all, the person we meet cannot tell us," Wu Xinghuan shrugged and continued, "Maybe we fell into a black hole, maybe we were hit by a meteorite... Of course, these It’s too childish. I’m more inclined to think that we will be trapped in a hyperspace channel and completely lost in the gap of time, or become a ghost in the quantum state. Some people can see [us] and some people can’t.”

The three of them looked at each other.

This kind of situation is so weird that they really don't know what kind of state it is.

In fact, let alone Wu Xinghuan himself, he also wanted to do it.

Everything he said was theoretical speculation, and what he described theoretically was theoretically invisible.

Zhao Tianhe was silent for a while and continued.

"We can simulate a digital life and hide behind it. This is not difficult...then what?"

Wu Xinghuan nodded and continued.

"Then the key is, we have to send the observer away, and send him away as soon as possible... Only by letting him return to his own timeline as soon as possible, and reducing his observations of us, can we have enough preparation time to deceive the observer. , which changes our future in the box without changing the observation of the future. "

"In this process, the more he knows about us, the less room we have to operate. Of course... in turn, we must use him. The more we know through him, the higher our winning rate will be."

Wu Mengke asked seriously.

"Then the question is, how can we send him away safely?"

Wu Xinghuan said in an uncertain tone.

"If our speculation is correct, as long as we let him return to the research ship and lie back in the sleep cabin... then we close the door and leave the area, it should be fine. Next time he wakes up, he should be fine Just go back to your own timeline."

After a pause, he looked at Captain Zhao.

"The point of disagreement is right here. What we brought into the hyperspace channel should be something else, such as the landing craft sent by the Gemini? Didn't you say that they sent a landing craft to take over our starship? That one The landing craft should have set off."

Zhao Tianhe nodded thoughtfully.

"I see... close the overturned box and open it again, and we will return to each other's timelines."

Wu Xinghuan snapped his fingers.

"That's right."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Tianhe and Wu Mengke's expressions softened a bit, as if they were relieved, and their moods were not as heavy as before.

Especially the last one.

She pressed her index finger between her eyebrows and said with a wry smile.

"Although it is a little difficult to understand, the situation does not seem to be as pessimistic as we thought."

Zhao Tianhe also nodded.

"Instead, we get revelations about the future from future observations..."

But at this moment, Luo Yi, who had been silent, raised his hand.

Seeing three pairs of eyes looking at him, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"I don't really understand...but I probably understand a little bit. In other words, if we want to survive, we must become the 'celestial beings' that the child calls us?"

The air in front of the bar became quiet.

Faced with this question, the three of them fell silent.

Become a celestial being…

In other words, we are going to destroy the world 200 years from now.

But not long ago, they sank the Gemini in order to prevent the destruction of the world.

If they were going to do the same thing as the Gemini, then why bother to sink the latter and wait 200 years before doing the same thing?

Zhao Tianhe could not answer this question, so he could only put it aside for the time being, and spoke after a moment of silence.

"The relationship two years later is too far away. I still prefer to think that we are in different parallel worlds from them, and our destinies may not be completely connected."

After a pause, he made a decision.

"Let's verify Dr. Wu's conclusion first and ask about the situation of the Celestial Being Organization."

"Then, send that kid home."

…

I don't know if it's because people in the Prosperous Era live in a pampered environment, but Ye Shi always feels that these guys are a little too crazy.

A guy who drove a "civilian spaceship" into a military stronghold and almost injured an active soldier while wearing a combat prosthetic body didn't have to squat in a dark room. He could still run around on the spaceship with great arrogance.

In fact, it's not right to run around everywhere. There are places he can't go.

Such as other decks and collision accident sites.

In contrast, except for the fact that he was not allowed to go to these places, he could walk around at will in various areas of the lower deck, and almost no one followed him.

In addition to the protection of personal freedom, his other basic rights are also protected to the maximum extent, almost the same as the crew members on the starship.

Before figuring out his true identity and background, they first recognized his identity as a human being and treated him as one.

The management department on this starship also considered the uniqueness of his situation and arranged a separate dormitory for him, and even gave him a bill-based meal card.

In the case of the person who issued him the meal card, if he really came back from the future, this debt would probably be eaten up by inflation in the distant future, which means he would not have to pay it back.

If he didn't come from the future, they would give him a bill after getting off the ship, and he could pay it back slowly after he returns to Earth and finds a job.

Although academic qualifications are an issue, many research institutes should be interested in him.

Every time I think about the staff member who always thinks about himself, Ye Shi, who holds the meal card, can't help but sigh.

This is not conservative.

It's so much better than Ideal City!

He even couldn't help but wonder how radical the rebels in the colony had to be in order to turn these old people in his eyes into conservatives.

On the other hand, the attitude of the crew on this ship towards him was also quite interesting.

Some people thought he was indifferent, and some people believed what he said, but whether they believed it or not, they all showed great enthusiasm for him, and they all wanted him to say a few more words about his future love.

Bar on the lower deck.

There was a circle of people around Ye Shi who was sitting in front of the bar. Both the number of people and the noisy environment here were incomparable to the elegant bar on the middle deck.

Listening to this time traveler who claimed to be from the future talking about his future love affairs, the crew members around him all widened their eyes with disbelief written on their faces.

"Yunjian Province has actually become the most prosperous region?! Just that old industrial area?! This... is unbelievable!"

While drinking the wine invited by others, Ye Shi said casually.

"After all, the Zhiyuan landed there, and they were on the hook from the very beginning, so I didn't do anything to get on board."

A woman with large breasts crossed her arms and shook her head.

"The Weirant people... It seems that the War and Construction Committee is not a bastard. They even moved out slavery."

Ye Shi replied.

"You have to look at the problem in the context of the times...Forget it, I don't know them and I'm too lazy to clean up their ground."

There was also a young man who was stunned for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses and shouted.

"Wait a minute, I just wanted to ask...you mean there are people living in Borneo again?! So where are the animals?"

Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows, people can't live anymore and still care about them. But thanks to you, a guy named Rowell, he is a real environmental protector. Thanks to him, it is still a zoo, and it is no different from before. ”

"That's too silly."

The young man looked relieved, but Ye Shi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What the hell is wrong with this!

In a sense, he has experienced celebrities in this "town of three thousand people".

Ye Shi actually enjoyed their pursuit, and he knew all about their problems. He talked about them from the east to the west of the Central Continent, and even talked about the Antarctic, the North Pole, and the New World, which he had never been to.

There are other players who have been there, but they didn't cause any big waves.

Those experiences have been written in travel note-style guides and updated on the official website forum.

If he successfully survives this crisis, he will probably write about his experience on the forum.

He once sat in the bar of the People's Alliance Era Starship 200 years ago and chatted with a group of ancient people.

But what to say?

His mentality was probably like chatting with a dead person to relieve his boredom. He would gather some information while giving advice, but other than that, there was nothing else, and he didn't pay much attention to the situation of these people.

After all, from his standpoint, aren't these people who lived more than 200 years ago just dead people?

Even if there is no accident, he will die of old age!

"The so-called alliance... is an alliance where survivors unite. In fact, there is nothing mysterious at first. We are not as great as you think. We are not doing anything with the idea of ​​​​saving the world. We just don't want to be eaten by predators. ”

The girl with big breasts blinked curiously.

"Eat it?"

The young man who was not in his right mind also said in an uncertain tone.

"Is it the kind of eating that I understand? Or... the annexation of territory in a broad sense?"

Ye Shi chuckled.

"Annexation? You mean swallowing it to your stomach?"

After hearing his words, there was a sound of exclamation all around, and many people had surprised expressions on their faces.

Some guys with poor mental endurance even turned pale, making people wonder how such cowards got into the army.

"The predators also eat people..."

"These guys...haven't they ever thought that they are also human beings?"

Listening to the idiot question, Ye Shi replied casually.

"If you expect the predators to understand this, you might as well expect the slime mold to treat you as a human... Well, but then again, we really encountered that kind of slime mold. In the end, the mimicry completely changed our shape, even better than ours. People still look like people.”

The crew members gathered around looked at each other, and a man who looked burly shook his head and said.

"I still can't believe that our children... people in the future will be so barbaric."

Ye Shi took a sip of the cocktail and said with a sigh.

"People... this concept is too broad. People and people are not the same, and the definition of people also changes with the times. So I say that the alliance is actually not great, it is just relatively normal. You may be more suitable for the ideal. Let’s live in the city, but there are also many people from Ideal City who have joined us because they can’t stand Ideal City.”

The sister with big breasts whistled and said jokingly.

"So you win."

Ye Shi shook his head.

"I dare not take it seriously, but we did survive the current crisis. It is the result of the compromise between several forces."

Humanity and Gaia can no longer fight.

The same goes for the survivors and the Valantians.

The same is true within Survivor.

These three contradictions exist in a progressive sequence and together form the main line of the Wasteland Chronicles.

And when they are all solved, the Wasteland Era will naturally end.

Ye Shi always has a feeling that he is actually redundant. The history he personally promoted may be far inferior to Elder Brother Fang, and the role they play together is actually more similar to the catalyst rather than the fuel itself.

But after thinking about it, this is actually normal.

Everyone plays a different role in the tide of the times. Some people will always bear a little more responsibility, and some people will bear a little less, but there is no such thing as saying that someone is dispensable.

Only Fang Chang could not sing this scene, including the manager who was regarded as a god by countless wastelanders.

Together with the survivors in the wasteland, they completed this epic poem that can be sung by future generations.

Honor belongs to every survivor.

Just when everyone still wanted to ask something, Luo Yi walked in through the crowd.

"Sorry everyone, I have to borrow your 㱕伭星 for a while."

A burly man looked at him and whistled.

"Haven't you fought enough?"

Luo Yi shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Our misunderstanding has been resolved a long time ago, but there are some things that we need to talk to him about, which are very important to him."

The man put his hand on Ye Ju's shoulder, patted it, and said with a grin.

"If this guy is in trouble, just tell me."

Ye Shi didn't know the name of this "fan", but he still said "thank you" to him, then jumped off the bar stool, followed Luo Yi out of the crowd, and went to the room at the other end of the corridor. .

After closing the door, he looked at Ye Shi and said.

"I have some news. We have found a way to help you get home."

I always feel that this copy is not that simple.

However, in order to advance the plot, Ye Shi followed his words and leaned against the table with his arms folded.

"Tell me about it."

Luo Yi repeated the method that Dr. Wu came up with, and the young man sitting on the table showed a subtle expression as expected after listening.

Guessing what he was thinking, Luo Yi coughed slightly and said.

"I know you're trying to say it sounds stupid."

Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You have already said it for me...but I still plan to give it a try with you. It doesn't hurt me anyway."

Unexpectedly, he was so cooperative. Luo Yi glanced at this guy unexpectedly, paused and continued.

"I'm glad you can cooperate. Besides... we want to cooperate with you."

Ye Shi raised his eyebrows.

"What cooperation?"

General Luo Yi had previously discussed the content with the captain and executive officer and made his debut completely.

"Some of our scientists believe that there must be a reason why you came to our timeline. That Celestial Being organization may be an important clue. Therefore, I want you to know the information about the Celestial Being organization. Tell us as much as you can.”

After a pause, he continued.

"This is very important. Maybe we can help you and face that... heavenly being together."

Ye Shi stared at him suspiciously, always feeling that this guy didn't tell him everything, and there might be a secret behind it that he didn't know.

But that's not necessary right now.

The main thing is that he doesn't think these people can reverse their destined fate.

"You are dead, I should say that is clear enough, unless you can change what happened."

Luo Yi didn't defend himself, just stared into his eyes and said.

"Have you ever heard of the Gemini?"

Ye Shi frowned.

"...What is that?"

Luo Yi said patiently.

"That's another cruiser. Its design drawings are the same as ours, and we even completed them on the same production sequence."

"Wait... my mind is a little confused," Ye Shi raised his hand to stop him and looked at him in astonishment, "You mean... there is another Orion?!"

Luo Yi said seriously.

"To be precise, you thought you were landing on the Orion, but it was actually the Gemini."

Ye Shi interrupted him without hesitation.

"This is impossible. I saw with my own eyes the name Orion written on the hull of their ship."

Luo Yi continued.

"The paint on the hull means nothing. They can pretend to be us and do the dirty work that we don't want to do."

Ye Shi asked with a frown.

"You don't want to do the dirty work?"

Luo Yi didn't hide anything, nodded and said.

"We rejected the Lagrange point's order on the 'Final War', and I think... the Heavenly Man you are talking about should be related to the 'Final War' plan."

Ye Shi looked at him blankly.

"What is the final battle..."

He had never heard of the word.

But it's actually normal. Even if he comes from the future, he can't know everything that happened in the past.

Looking at Ye Shi who knew nothing about it, Luo Yi felt relieved.

Maybe that drunkard's plan actually worked.

There is room for manipulation in history beyond the "horizon", and the space left for them seems to be quite large.

"The Lagrange Point Command did have plans to conduct a thorough cleansing of the surface. In their view, this would help the shelter to quickly complete post-war construction... But we rejected them and reported to the Twins Launched a neutron torpedo."

"So others don't believe that you are from the future, but we believe that you are from the future... and according to what you said, this war has not ended and has continued until two hundred years later."

Arriving in front of the stunned Ye Shi, Luo Yi put his hand on his shoulder and continued in a serious tone.

"This is our war, we will not leave you alone, we will continue to move forward on our timeline, and you will return to your timeline."

"We will meet up in 200㹓."

"For this I need you to tell me without reservation, everything you know about the gods."

Looking at those firm eyes, Ye Shi finally swallowed the words on his lips and nodded slowly.

No matter how fanciful this plan sounds, no matter how slim the odds are—

Because of their determination, he also planned to take a gamble with them.

And what if it works?

Not to mention Jiang Xuezhou being saved, the alliance will also get an extremely powerful helper!

"I promise you."
