This Game Is Too Realistic

"The acting was pretty good."

In the captain's room of the Heart of Steel, Chu Guang drank black tea with milk and watched the stage play on the holographic screen with an interesting expression on his face.

"The acting is on point and the script is okay."

"There are too many hammers and mothers in the lines... This thing was actually written by the locals themselves?"

He has long been tired of watching real-life film and television works, and most of the local works that players have carried are awkward. In contrast, he was more curious about some of the new ones played by the survivors in the wasteland.

For example, "Bol the Awakener" written by Sberg made his eyes shine. Earlier, there were also the "doggerels" written by Hal, and even the picture book dedicated to him by the little princess Honey Badger - "The Hairy Thickness". "Father and Son".

Compared with "imported products", these locally produced works can better reflect the spiritual world of the wastelanders.

As a manager, his responsibility is not only to guide, but also to "understand".

In the latest sociological research report on Borneo Province from Ms. Han Mingyue, there happens to be such a representative work attached.

Although the old-fashioned stage play does not go well with the too modern viewing equipment, it is surprisingly reasonable to put it in the wasteland.

Back to the stage play itself.

The name of the play is "The Story After the Heavy Rain". The screenwriter is a poet from the Niu tribe. The creation of the script, the design of the lines and even the music in the stage play were all completed by him alone.

All the stories of the entire stage play take place in a house on Tulip Street, and according to the depiction in the play, that house is actually Nihak's Governor's Palace, and the heavy rain refers to both the rain outside the window and the golden gallons blowing in. The "wind" of Hong Kong.

However, the entire stage play is not about Governor Nihak and his servants, nor does it have anything to do with current events or the overall situation. It just witnesses the end of an era from the perspective of a minor nobleman, and highlights two love stories that ended in vain. The protagonist’s confusion in the “exploration period”——

Everyone around him was leaving him, but he himself didn't know where to go, let alone where he was.

In a sense, the spiritual world of the protagonist in the play is very similar to the mental state of the old local aristocrats.

After landing in Borneo Province, although the alliance did not plunder the property of the locals, those nobles no longer had any of the privileges of the old era, and they were no longer respected and worshiped by the people around them.

Even if their lives are not bad for the time being, if they cannot adapt to the times, they will sink into the tide of the times sooner or later.

At the end of the video attachment of the stage play, Han Mingyue left her views as a researcher.

"...What interests me is not the plot of the stage play, but the shadows of existentialism and nihilism that appear simultaneously in this stage play. I think this work is as representative as Red Earth, which is the voice of radicals, The former are conservatives, they all belong to this period, and they are also a microcosm of the unique cultural manifestations of this period."

Turning off the holographic image, Chu Guang continued to look at the report written by Ms. Han Mingyue.

According to the views mentioned in its latest research report, the new cultural movement in Jingallan Port is in full swing, and its enthusiasm is no less than that of the local large-scale infrastructure.

The germination of two art forms, romanticism and realism, appeared in Golden Gallen at the same time.

Even more than that, the former also went a step further - as for the leaping evolution, and on this basis the prototype of existentialism was born.

That is, apart from human survival, there are no natural virtues and external souls. Both virtues and souls are created by humans in the process of survival, that is, people are not obliged to believe in specific religions and etiquette.

These things have appeared in the history of the People's Federation, but it is really rare to see them in the Wasteland Era after the Prosperity Era.

Of course, there is another extreme that appears in Golden Gallen Harbor at the same time - nihilism.

That is, the denial of all meanings and the belief that everything people do is powerless and in vain.

The survivor culture in Borneo originated from Camp Lowell, and the proud culture of local survivors covers 4 million square kilometers. In comparison, the area of ​​Haiya Province, which affects the sensitive nerves of the three "fallen empires", is not even as large as a state in the empire.

Even slaves on a farm can hold their chests high and say that the "Fallen Empire" and the "War in Heaven" are just a few strange-looking giant crabs fighting in a cricket cage.

However, facing an emerging survivor force that had just emerged two and a half years ago, their pride was completely shattered to the ground.

Even if they counted the thousand pillars of the City of Thousand Pillars ten thousand times, they still could not understand why when the Alliance fought with the Torch, the wind that was inadvertently blown up by just a fist wave destroyed what the Empire was proud of and regarded as The "grey wolf" at the head of the spear.

Although arrogance and inferiority are two extremes of self-perception, they are not contradictory when they appear in the same person. It can even be said that the two attributes go hand in hand.

Compared to the City of Thousand Pillars, the commanding Rowell Camp is the real spiritual totem in the minds of the survivors of Borneo. Even if the locals have never prayed to it, they will not even pray to it when passing by its door. He lowered his head consciously and quickened his pace.

However, few survivors in Borneo truly realize that prayer is only a "expression" for believers to express reverence to gods, and is not the whole of faith, let alone its essence.

People in primitive societies compiled myths out of awe for mountain fires and thunder, performed dances to gods and offered sacrifices to totems out of awe...

Myths, dances and sacrifices are not enough to sum up the essence of faith. Heartfelt awe - or fear - is.

Due to the coming of the Alliance, the majesty of Camp Lowell was trampled underfoot. The old local nobles not only lost the income brought by the slaves, but also lost their spiritual sustenance.

The current trend of nihilism is popular among the local upper class and is mainly reflected in the two fields of music and painting.

After all, these two fields have a higher "accuracy threshold" than writing. The residents of Jingallang Port who have just learned to write are still at the stage of learning the "League-flavored" Renlian language.

"..."Story after the Heavy Rain" is just a small episode in my research report. I know that you are more concerned about the voice of progress rather than the groans of conservative forces. But I believe you are sensible and should know There is only one step between radical and extreme, and the Torch is the most spectacular example.”

"Currently, the survivors of Golden Gallen Port have formed a consensus to demolish the thousand pillars of the City of Thousand Pillars. All sectors of society are united as never before because of the same consensus. Although I prefer to think that the majority of people's opinions are spiritual. Demolition, not in a physical sense, but I am worried that this movement will eventually develop control and cause damage to important cultural relics and research materials.”

"Before it was destroyed there, I thought it would be best to leave some video materials and so on during the local investigation. This is valuable sociological research material... Although my research results cannot immediately reflect any practical effect, but I still want to ask you for regional permission to relax the mission, as well as a Viper transport aircraft and a twelve-man tactical team.”

Chu Guang read the report to the end, tapped his index finger on the desk, and finally rejected her request.

"...I don't mean to despise sociological research. On the contrary, I despise it extremely, but we have signed an armistice agreement with the empire. Rushing across the ceasefire line may involve the legion in already complicated regional affairs, and even jeopardize the current situation." The Adhesion Community, which should go all out on the front line, has been dragged into a new quagmire, and I cannot approve your request."

"Of course, I will seriously consider your suggestion and urge the local residents of the shelter to support your research through indirect intervention and protect the new legacy of the 'post-Prosperity Era'."

The Torch Church is waiting for change, and the Community has only completed its siege. It will take some time to completely solve this problem.

If the Alliance increases its interference in the Borneo region, the Legion will immediately follow up to expand its influence and territory in Borneo, which may not ultimately be conducive to the spontaneous changes of local survivors.

It is better to maintain the status quo, use Golden Gallon Port to contain West Sail Port, and let the local survivors decide their own future.

Moreover, the local survivors actually did not do a bad job.

The officers transported from Jin Gallen Port to the interior turned the tide of the Yue tribe's resistance army and were passing through Huzhou and advancing towards the northeastern corner of Borneo Province.

According to Fang Chang's report to Xiaoyu at the "hearing", the "military strongman" they invested 10 million silver coins to support has won the first round of popular support from the people of Jingallang Port and Potato Chips Port. Investment, leveraging nearly 20 million silver coins in capital, and preparing to build a "new Golden Gallon Port" at the mouth of the Tasan River in Mammoth State.

The economic potential of this port may not be as high as that of Golden Gallon at the mouth of the Yongliu River, but it can also radiate to two or three inland states adjacent to the Tasang River.

Although the cake did not fool Xiaoyu, several shareholder representatives who attended the hearing were indeed greedy for the cake, and they sided with Fang Chang without hesitation.

To be honest, if we can really build another gold-gallon port, will we lose 10 million silver coins?

It’s not a loss at all!

Ideal City's family is rich enough not to engage in expansion, and can live a pleasant life behind closed doors, and still have spare money to reward the wasteland, but does Dawn City have this kind of wealth?

Overseas business must be expanded!

Now that we have food and mines, we just need people.

If that Lashi can really turn the animals in Borneo into humans, who cares? Who is he? No matter how outrageous it is, can it be more outrageous than that witch camel?

After looking at the series of "physical evidences" presented by [Fang Chang], Xiaoyu didn't say anything in the end, and the subpoena was lifted after the former supplemented the complete plan.

In fact, her approach was completely based on the alliance's charter, and there was no deliberate favoritism or deliberate suppression.

Chu Guang was also very pleased with this result.

Whether it is Baiyue Company, Xiaoyu, or the changes that are taking place in Borneo under the guidance of players.

It's all wasteland there, there's no such thing as a front-line wasteland or a branch-line wasteland.

The corrosion of Jinchuan Province originated from the torch of Haiya Province, and in the final analysis, it lies in Qingquan in the River Valley Province - or Qingquan's mother's nest and Vault 117.

The Naguo in Haiya Province comes from the Baiyue Province, and the key to solving the problem of Nagoya - type B Nago strain also comes from this province, or in other words, from the Baiyue province that has not yet been discovered by players. The slime mold mother nest in Yuexing Province.

The reclamation of the Baiyue Province is inseparable from the support of survivors in the southern seas, including research on the ruins of the sunken Tianting, the alien species on the seabed, and their mother nests.

The same is true if you want to develop the great desert. The Alliance must bring together the survivors who "have escaped there before and escaped from there" to solve their problems, or at least bring along people who are willing to escape there again.

Every item found in the wasteland seems to be separated, but in fact they are all interlocked.

If they don't take every step forward, no matter how much inheritance they inherit, they will never be able to return to the starry sky they once touched...

At least he will probably be hard to see in his old age.

…

The sun and moon on the battlefield are like snails on the leaves, and the northern front moves slowly and permanently.

Time slowly arrived in late September.

The coalition forces on the northern front have successfully controlled the entire Laishan territory, and have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Haiya Province in the form of flowers blooming on three sides.

Empirical evidence shows that the coalition’s war of attrition approach is effective. Even though the representatives of the legions always criticized the alliance for enriching their own pockets and taking advantage of the opportunity to develop their own business.

But after seeing the Alliance's injuries on the front lines - especially the injuries suffered by the shelter residents, they couldn't say those harsh words.

Enterprises have no objections. Stable and continuous investment and predictable output are their pursuits. They only worry about unexpected risks, not the expected ones.

As for the academy, no one can guess what they are thinking. Chu Guang himself can only guess 10% or 20% at most. Those people are as paranoid about secrets as they are about knowledge.

The Church of the Torch seemed to be waiting for a change, continuing to increase its leverage in the southern sea area, and sent an advance force to the east in an attempt to burn the Prancing Pony Province.

This advance force, led by a Forerunner and hundreds of Apostles, happened to run into the Enterprise's 99th Mechanized Infantry Division.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides in the plains, and in the end the latter, whose equipment became more and more flashy, gained the upper hand, and the advance team was defeated in despair.

A few new players participated in that battle as mercenaries, and it is said that they got a lot of equipment as a result.

However, in the end, most of these equipment were recycled at high prices by companies such as Jushi Army and others.

After all, those big guys in the military gave too much.

In addition, there are also mercenaries from the Legion and even the Hound Special Forces. Some players who are keen on "unusual paths" even summarized the rewards given to various forces on the official website forum, and The most cost-effective way to catch fish.

Among them, the alliance's income is the most stable and its growth curve is the smoothest, as if it has been carefully designed.

After all, it is the "corner force" officially designated by the game. Naturally, it serves most people. It is suitable for ordinary players who don't want to use swords and slants, as well as large corps.

As for the company, as the tycoon in the background, the first to get rich in the wasteland, even ordinary soldiers can become NPCs who issue missions, and the money they are given is the highest. The only flaw is the equipment they are given for actual combat. The value is a bit low.

In addition to the large size of imitation crystals and some implanted prostheses, things like exoskeletons or light weapons are really not as good as selling them for money.

If you are pursuing equipment, the academy and the Bugla Free State are better choices. The former's own technical reserves are the ceiling of the wasteland, while the latter has the support of the Great Rift Valley and no one dares to attack it. In the past century, it has somewhat stolen from the former.

As for the legion, the money given is not much and the equipment is mediocre, but there may be unexpected gains, just like that guy from the [Battlefield Atmosphere Group].

After Chu Guang read the post written by the player, he couldn't help but like it.

This guy is really fooling around with the new version. At least he has to be a house slave with five surnames.

Of course, as long as it does not violate the "Player's Handbook", Chu Guang has always been encouraging for players to take action.

However, these small details had minimal impact on the entire battle situation. Chu Guang only learned about it through Xiao Qi, and did not let his perspective go to observe carefully.

At present, the area of ​​Haiya Province's "purification zone" has expanded to 70,000 square kilometers, which is close to one-tenth of the total area of ​​Haiya Province of 670,000 square kilometers.

Its significance is probably equivalent to gnawing off the first hilltop of Shifeng Mountain. There are more "hilltops" that are difficult to gnaw on, and each one is more dangerous than the last.

It would be a waste if the southern front could open a breakthrough, Chu Guang, who was commanding from the front, thought this more than once.

Especially if the Conch submarine carrier has been completed, the Meissner effect armor has been successfully installed on the flagship of the South China Sea Alliance, and the radar base stations and missile launchers on Shazhou Island have been deployed one after another, the opportunity for a decisive battle has never been greater.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to urge his allies in the south to take action, a telegram with a combat plan was suddenly sent to Xiao Qi through the dedicated line of Fries Port.

The codename of that plan was "Laken" - that is, the most ferocious sea beast in the southern seas, probably similar to the Death Claw of the River Valley Province.

The author of the plan was none other than the South China Sea Alliance Navy Commander Kuai Hui, and the South China Sea Alliance authorities gave him all command rights over the Anle Island naval base and the garrison fleet.

"...the fishing boats and harpoons hunting Laken have been polished, and the South China Sea Alliance fleet has been prepared to recapture everything or sacrifice everything!"

"We plan to launch the final decisive battle in early October to completely annihilate Charas and his gang who are holding the residents of the North Island hostage! And completely banish the Torch Cultists and mutants on the island!"

"This operation will affect the future of all of us, and we need your support!"

The telegram only contained three short paragraphs, but the accompanying battle plan was more than a dozen pages long.

Including the captured Reef as a bait to create loopholes to lure the battleship "Haiya" to leave the port, including suppressing the anti-aircraft firepower on the island, covering the landing of alliance ground troops on the island, etc.

Since there are Torch troops in the North Island, the South China Sea Alliance hopes that Dawn City will be responsible for the ground combat.

After the completion of the alliance, the close cooperation between the South China Sea Alliance and the alliance will continue. At that time, the North Island will serve as the alliance's logistics transit base and can be used as a springboard for the alliance to attack the south coast of Haiya Province.

After reading the entire battle plan to the end, Chu Guang suddenly burst out laughing.

"Well done!"

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, tilted her head.

"㹏人, do you think their plan is good?"

It feels that this plan still has certain risks, and the South China Sea Alliance has almost all the chips on it.

Chu Guang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, clicked a few times on the holographic screen with his index finger, and sent the battle plan to the staff and the commander of the corps on the southern front.

"...Wrong or good, you can't tell with a map. You have to try it before you know whether it works or not."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoqi and issued two orders in succession.

"Notify players on the southern route to make connections with French Fries Port! No matter how specific the notification is, it's just that there is a new event on the server!"

"In addition, let the Burning Corps and the Goblin Corps enter the battle preparation stage immediately! Be ready for deployment at any time!"

Seeing the excitement flashing in Chu Guang's eyes, Xiao Qi also enthusiastically performed an alliance salute.

"receive!"
