Chapter 123: Games(1/2)
"The Hall of Heroes?" Li Zhengchu was a little confused, "Is it that place in Nordic mythology?"
Xia Lian smiled and nodded, "Want to go out with me for a visit?"
"Of course." Li Zhengchu said with a smile, "Who hasn't imagined that they can take a trip to the future?"
Then, Xia Lian and his group walked out of the biological research institute, and the warm sunlight shone through the dome above, shining on them.
Li Zhengchu raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, as well as the sci-fi cities and light rails around him, and opened his eyes slightly.
“Is this the city of the future?”
Xia Lian smiled, then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. When he went to the main control room before, he had already gained control of York City.
With the snap of fingers, the sky changes in an instant and turns into a transparent film through which people can see the starry sky outside.
Seeing the Destruction Star and Eternal Night Star that were extremely close to them, although York City was a rare giant structure, it was still very small compared to the planet.
Looking at the stars occupying most of the sky on both sides, Li Zhengchu's breathing stopped slightly.
If the person standing here at this moment had a phobia of giant objects, he would probably be paralyzed on the ground at this moment.
"The one on the left is called the Destruction Star, and the one on the right is called the Eternal Night Star." Xia Lian explained for him, "The reason why the Eternal Night Star is called the Eternal Night Star is that you must have guessed it from this situation."
Li Zhengchu nodded and said in disbelief, "With these two planets so close, are they really not attracted to each other's gravity and then collide together?"
"We had similar doubts at the beginning, but now we see that the gravitational pull between the two maintains a delicate balance."
"However, this is not something we should care about now.
On the Evernight Star, there lives a human civilization that is independent of the current civilization..."
Xia Lian spoke slowly and began to explain to Li Zhengchu the conflict between frozen soil and paradise, and their layout in Yongye Star these days.
Li Zhengchu fell into deep thought, then nodded, "So, this is what your "Hall of Heroes" means. The promised land is about to go to war with the frozen soil, and the frozen soil cannot face the promised land."
"The existence of the fifth element may be decisive for us to face the unknown disaster in the future."
"I agree with this." Li Zhengchu nodded. He looked around and sighed, "Fantasy materialized. If we had had such power back then, maybe the outcome would have been different..."
"And the heroic spirits I sent are "you"." Xia Lian said.
Li Zhengchu raised his eyebrows in surprise, but soon he understood what Xia Lian meant, "As long as the host is not destroyed, we are "immortal".
With characteristics like this, he is perfect for becoming a warrior.
I agree with your idea."
"This is why I came to you." Xia Liandao, "Since you don't want to expose the truth that they are virtual beings, then we need to find other ways to make them our soldiers."
"My initial idea is to disguise the real world into a surreal "game."
"Game." Li Zhengchu thought for a moment, then nodded, "It works, the immortality we have just matches the immortality of the game.
Moreover, because they think it is a game, the "players" will be more fearless and fearless of death, and behave chaotically. To the enemy, such warriors are very scary.
But...there is still something wrong with this."
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows. He did not speak, but waited for Li Zhengchu's answer to see what opinions he could offer.
"How qualified are you for this game?" Li Zhengchu asked.
"Players who enter the Eternal Night Star will definitely be able to use the fifth element. However, due to the advancement of the fifth element, if only the genes of the Eternal Night Star people are used to clone the bodies of the "players".
Every time you die, your level will be refreshed. In this case, it will be difficult to take advantage of your immortality.
So, the best option is to make a contract with me.
But for now, I can only contract five." Xia Liandao.
"But I will find a way. After a while, I will go to the Age of Gods."
"It was a dangerous era." Li Zhengchu said.
"Have you been there?" Xia Lian asked curiously.
"I probably died more than ten times in that era and witnessed several divine battles." Li Zhengchu said, "Those were scenes of destruction of heaven and earth."
"Can stars collapse?" Xia Lian asked.
Li Zhengchu thought for a moment and said, "Alaya told me about this.
The gods were born on the stars, and they were also bound to the stars.
It is difficult for power to break through the boundaries of stars."
Xia Lian nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Li Zhengchu continued.
"In this case, we cannot use the open recruitment method of ordinary games.
My suggestion is that since the quota is so scarce, it is better for us to directly select the right people and let them join this "game"."
"Forcing them to participate?" Xia Lian asked.
Li Zhengchu nodded.
"If that's the case, what's the reason?"
"Just like you deceived those Eternal Night Stars, just say it is a game of gods, a kind of game held by powerful existences beyond their knowledge."
"Similar to the Lord God game?"
Li Zhengchu looked at Xia Lian with some surprise, "This was a popular saying in the last century."
After a pause, he said, "It seems that I can probably guess what era you came from in your previous life."
Xia Lian smiled.
"It can indeed be played in the way of the Lord God's game." Li Zhengchu nodded.
"But compared to the cruel elimination mechanism of the Lord God game, this "game" will be more free, with no mandatory tasks and unlimited resurrection.
You can return to your own world at any time."
"But if we use the method of the Lord God Game, we can use absolute power to force the people we choose to play this game.
Fundamentally speaking, the "entertainment" of the game is lost. Everyone likes to play it, but if I was forced to play this game, not many people would like it.
This will make "players" lose their enthusiasm." Xia Liandao.
Li Zhengchu nodded, "That's true. Therefore, we must give them "positive feedback" from other directions to let them maintain this enthusiasm."
"How to give positive feedback?" Xia Lian asked.
Li Zhengchu raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "What if the power gained in this "game" can be used in "reality"?"
"But we..." Xia Lian's words paused, and he obviously realized something, "You mean..."
"That is a virtual world. We can make the fifth element exist in that world at any time, and we can even let a person have the power to destroy the world at will." Li Zhengchu said.
Xia Lian fell into deep thought. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "It's feasible. The temptation of possessing supernatural power is not something that ordinary people can resist.
But the question is, will the appearance of such a person in your world cause unnecessary panic?"
"I can add some rules to restrict those who possess the fifth element from doing whatever they want.
No matter what happens to us, it is actually under our control, isn't it?" Li Zhengchu said.
Xia Lian nodded repeatedly, with a little excitement in his eyes, "I will let people transmit the fifth element information to that world.
Thank you, you helped me a lot!"
"You're welcome, it's not you we are helping." Li Zhengchu looked at everything around him with deep eyes...
Xia Lian fell silent.
Li Zhengchu came to his senses and said, "In that case, I will go in and select the right candidate."
"I'll go in with you," Xia Lianda said.
Li Zhengchu nodded, "Okay."
Then, the two returned to the research institute. Li Zhengchu controlled the body to lie back into the nutrition compartment, while Xia Lian also sat down on the armchair on the side.
The two of them connected to Fenrir's Rubik's Cube computer through the Internet, and entered the earth where more than 10 billion consciousnesses live.
Li Zhengchu and Xia Lian stepped on the streets of the eastern country on earth together.
Looking at the people coming and going around him and looking at the familiar building, Xia Lian's eyes flashed a little, and some past memories emerged in his mind.
"Is this a floating market?" Xia Lian asked.
Li Zhengchu nodded.
"I was just wondering why it's so familiar." Xia Lian sighed and looked around, "But the changes are really big."
He pointed in a certain direction, "That used to be a bay, I remember."
Li Zhengchu nodded, "We have more mountainous areas and far less cultivated land than in the West. The cultivated land area accounts for 7.7% of the world's total cultivated land area, but we have to feed 20% of the world's population.
After the advent of thermonuclear fusion technology, we started the project of digging in the west and filling in the south.
Exchange energy for land.
