Chapter 746 The beginning and end of identity, elimination rules!
"You guys, if you had Su Youzong's ambition, the territory wouldn't be in this situation today."
"Forget it, what's the use of these hindsights now?"
"It's all gone."
After admonishing everyone, Chen Shen felt bored for a while when he saw everyone bowing their heads and obeying.
Taking the bet that Sumo had just signed in his hand, he first raised his head and looked around at everyone's faces, then walked back to his desk, reached for a thick stack of official documents and started processing the approvals
.
The night was slightly cool, and gusts of cool breeze poured in from the open window, blowing the hair next to the mask and lifting it slightly.
The warm yellow light reflected on his face, making him look peaceful and peaceful.
After being stunned for a while, everyone in the standing crowd immediately looked at Chen Kai, and he stepped forward slightly.
"Mr. Su, it's getting late. Let's go out first and then talk about it?"
"good!"
Putting away the agreement on the table, Sumo put it in his pocket and followed a dozen first-generation Chen family members out of the office.
Before coming, he didn't expect that the progress would be pushed to this point tonight.
Not only did he successfully obtain the trading license and get in touch with Chen Shen and others in the Chen family, he also successfully resolved the hidden dangers brought about by his status as the manager of Baoyu County.
And with the information and game rules provided by people like Chen, even if the bet he made is indeed a bit outrageous, it is still possible to complete it.
All the way out of the office, everyone went down the elevator to the first floor.
It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoyu's figure appeared in the field of vision that the silent atmosphere was broken.
She walked forward and first looked at Somo, who was surrounded by everyone and seemed to be the center.
Then he asked tentatively:
"Uncle Kai, do you need me to help you arrange a quiet place?"
"Okay, let's go to the pub we often go to. It just so happens that I haven't had a good drink in many days."
Sangtian Town is the closest to Hope City, and Chen Kai is obviously more familiar with it than other Chen family members.
The two said a few words, and Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, picked up the pager on his belt, and started giving instructions.
After a while, when the sound of arrangements came from the opposite side of the pager, Jiang Xiaoyu, who was walking in front, slowed down and unconsciously landed next to Sumo.
"Mr. Su, Miss Zhang, we will send it back for you, you don't have to worry."
"Ah, okay, you can also bring this trouble to him and let him take it back together." Sumo nodded, took out the previously stamped trading license and handed it over.
The other party took it and left obediently along the other side of the aisle.
All the way out of the mayor's building.
Four dark cars had already parked in front of the building and were waiting. When they saw the crowd approaching, the driver got out and opened the door.
Sumo has never enjoyed this kind of standard treatment, whether in the civilized era or in the real wasteland.
At this time, Su Mo followed Chen Kai and got into the lead car. For a moment, Su Mo was quite surprised.
The performance cars used for pick-up and drop-off are also fifth-generation performance cars, which are almost perfect in terms of safety and maneuverability.
Moreover, the specially made window covering turned out to be a screen, showing four cars driving on the road from a high position.
"Are there drones following us?"
A suspicion flashed through his mind, and Sumo immediately clicked on the screen to see if there were other functions.
Unexpectedly, not far after the vehicle exited, Chen Yi, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly made a sound in embarrassment.
"Mr. Su, I have to apologize to you first. It was just a test before. I didn't expect you to be so well prepared."
"Chen Yimeng is in trouble."
Being called to the office late at night by Mayor Chen Shen for a talk was a unique treatment even in the past few years when talent recruitment was widespread.
On the way to the mayor's building, everyone was still wondering whether tonight there would be a like-minded partner or an enemy with a different political orientation.
But what they never expected was...
Su Youzong completely convinced Chen Shen just by "painting a big cake".
Suddenly, he was neither a companion nor an enemy, but his boss?!
"It's okay, I didn't take it seriously."
"When I go to Baoyu County in the future, I will have to rely on your help. It's too boring to say this."
Turning his head and looking at Chen Yi's sincere face, Su Mo's amused expression remained as usual.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kai on the side let out a long sigh of relief and quickly added: "I'm just telling you, You Zong will definitely not care."
From Su Youzong, to Mr. Su, and then to Youzong, Chen Kai's attitude also changed unconsciously.
But at this time, no one cared about this matter.
Seeing that Su Mo was curious about the screen, Chen Yi directly volunteered to explain.
"This "Eagle Eye" high- and low-altitude cooperative tracking system is a masterpiece developed by our territory at the end of 2006. It can not only be used for territorial defense and security in peacetime, but can also cooperate with ground troops in wartime to create surprises for the enemy.
Effect"
"One of the drones happens to be manufactured by our Xishou Heavy Industry. If you like it, I can have a few sent to you later, so that you can go to Baoyu County with great safety.
"Guarantee"
"Hawkeye?"
While Chen Yi was introducing, Su Mo continued to click, and sure enough he saw the corresponding eagle eye logo on the main interface.
"What about the bomb load of this thing? If we send out hundreds of them at once, wouldn't it be able to carry out coverage bombing?"
"Amount of ammunition?" When it comes to the military industry, the manager Chen Yi is a little confused.
Chen Zheng, who had been in contact with him next to him, answered: "We have divided the models and specifications of drones into four categories, namely young eagle, male eagle, eagle, and flying eagle. Among them, the young eagle cannot be mounted due to its size.
In addition to the ammunition, which can only be responsible for range surveillance, the other three levels can load ammunition to a certain extent and complete the bombing mission."
"But this thing, if you want to complete the bombing mission, it's too far to rely on it alone."
"You Zong, let me give you the simplest example and you will understand."
After saying that, Chen Zheng thought for a moment, and then simply took Wuya Mansion as an example.
"Wuya Mansion, they have also developed drones. Although the technology is very rough and the system is rubbish, there is no such thing as saying after going to the battlefield. They only play offense and defense, and the difficulty of defense is much less than that of attack.
"
"Our air defense forces can defend against their drone formations. Similarly, theirs can also defend against ours using electromagnetic interference and other stupid methods."
"If it is not used in wartime, or if it is used against aliens, this thing can be used suddenly to have miraculous effects. But if there is a territorial dispute, bombing will be used."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zheng shook his head, his meaning self-evident.
When dealing with alien races, humans can certainly use all their firepower, and they can use whatever means they have.
But among humans, there are originally few survivors, and buildings are expensive to build.
If you continue to crush them with bombings for several rounds, even if you win the battle, the goods received will be far outweighed by the losses.
"We can do without the arms race, but we cannot live without it."
"Besides."
After pointing out the key points, Chen Kai continued to pick up the conversation.
"Because of Lord Sumo, we share many technologies with the Longqi Territory, but as far as the current progress is concerned, they have completely crushed us, especially in terms of weapons and equipment, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
"The bigger"
"But I can't blame others for this. We have been competing steadily over the years to excavate ruins. We have not dared to take risks like other territories and make big ones. Naturally, the harvest will not be comparable."
"So that's it." Su Mo frowned slightly: "This is somewhat different from what I thought before. I thought that their technology was developed by themselves, but I didn't expect that it was inherited from the ruins."
"How can we develop it ourselves? Among the top thirty territories, in addition to the three major territories, we have the Academy of Sciences." Chen Kai showed a slight sense of superiority on his face: "If you want to develop new technologies from scratch, not only
It requires a lot of geniuses, but also supporting equipment and sufficient time. Disasters in the wasteland are too frequent. Before the problem of survival is solved, how can you have the energy to sink funds in it?"
"Our Tianyuan Territory believed too much in the past few years that technology is king, which led to us going astray later and giving up territory."
"Oh, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Recalling the past, Chen Kai looked solemn and seemed to be very taboo about what happened in the past.
Seeing his appearance, Su Mo couldn't continue to ask, so he could only change the topic: "As for grain harvesting, no matter how poor the technological research and development level of the Academy of Sciences is, it is impossible not to be able to do this. Why have we continued to harvest manually all these years?
"
"If we had implemented machine harvesting and vigorously planted grain in the early years, it would be impossible to only have this small grain inventory now, right?"
"Huh? That's the question."
As if he didn't expect Sumo to ask such a direct question, Chen Kai thought for a moment: "You are right. Even though the harvesting of Xinghuo III wheat is not easy, with our R&D capabilities, we want to make a matching harvest."
Machine, hold the handle in your hand."
"But in fact, as early as the first year of Summer Harvest, we used Virtual Realm's data deduction capabilities to deduce the benefits and risks brought by different choices."
"Have you ever used the virtual realm to deduce it?" Somo also became serious.
Various situations that occur within the limits of the rules, if there is no miracle of "man can conquer nature", basically cannot escape the limited laws.
In virtual reality, even if there is only one set of servers, it can be deduced almost exactly through repeated simulations, not to mention the number of new sets of servers that have been added now.
The derived data is definitely of reference significance!
"Exactly." Chen Kai nodded.
“When we conducted our deductions at that time, we had many different options, among which the two most frequently used were the use of human power and the use of machines.
Using human power, we have deduced it 70 million times, and we can basically achieve our goal of accumulating a certain amount of food.
Using machinery, we have conducted 150 million deductions, and half of them resulted in various accidents, resulting in the territory not only failing to save food, but also experiencing a deficit." At this point, Chen Kai changed his subject.
"We can't afford this risk, so we can only continue to use manpower."
"Risk." Hearing this word again, Somo sighed.
In eight years, he did not expect that the impact he left would be so serious, and help was like a big invisible hand, firmly grasping the throat of the territory's forward development.
With virtual reality deductions, the territory is trying its best to avoid anything risky.
This is also the most moderate way to maintain success.
"What about identity? If we could keep all the foreign people who participate in the summer harvest every year, how could the population be what it is now? It wouldn't be a problem to at least exceed one million people, right?"
"Stay? One million people?" Chen Kai was stunned, and his mind didn't turn around immediately.
“Where do they have the money to pay the high price of status?”
"Cancel, no, can't you lower the points required for your status?" Sumo asked.
But this time, Chen Kai did not answer.
Moreover, all the people sitting in the car looked at the monster with expressions on their faces, as if they were listening to a fantasy.
"Don't you know that the points for identity are determined by the game? The money for purchasing identity is also paid directly to the game, so we don't get it at all?"
"What?" Su Mo was shocked and subconsciously shouted.
He has thought that the identity system is a new feature forced by the game, charging high intermediary fees, and forcing humans to continue to develop.
He also thought that the territory would be willing to participate in it to get the money for continuous development.
But Sumo never thought about it.
The identity system is proposed by the game from beginning to end, and all points received are included in the bag, and not a single point is given to the territory.
"Isn't this just plain robbery? The game only uses one identity to confiscate human resources?"
"Yes, you can understand it this way," Chen Kai said: "In addition, the identity is not all exploited by the game. It is divided according to the level of each territory. If more identities are sold, we can also get some special rewards. Although these
The rewards are not fixed, but if you can find a good one, its value is worth hundreds of millions of points."
"We're here, let's go in and talk."
Pointing to the small wooden house with warm lights in front of the car, Chen Kai stopped talking and laughed.
"The craft beer here is outstanding. Even the military commanders in the Long Banner Territory, every time they contact me, they still want to drink this beer the most!"
After pushing the door open and getting out of the car, the middle-aged store owner with a mustache had obviously received the news in advance and was waiting at the door.
Seeing everyone coming, he greeted them cordially: "Mayor Chen, all the big guys, please come inside. There's nothing else tonight. Just have enough beer!"
"Excellent! Baojin, this is what I've been waiting for!"
Excitedly, he patted the other party on the shoulder. Chen Kai walked in front, and the group walked in in a mighty manner.
The wooden house has been cleared under Jiang Xiaoyu's advance arrangements.
Just the smell of alcohol in the air and the slightly messy tables and chairs can give people a hint that the business here was also very good before.
Walking along the aisle, not long after, a dozen people were divided into three boxes and sat in.
Sharing a box with Somo.
They are Chen Kai from Sangtian Town, Chen Yi from Xishou County, Chen Jie from Longkou County, Chen Hou from Anhui County, and Chen Zheng from Tianyuan City.
The status of the five people is the highest among the first generation Chen family, and their abilities are also at the forefront.
only.
They had just sat down and before the beer and snacks were served, Somo couldn't wait to ask more questions.
Seeing how eager he was, Chen Kai could only sigh:
"No wonder the clan leader attaches so much importance to you. We are ashamed of your dedication."
"But identity is a long story. You haven't been exposed to this before, so I have to talk to you slowly."
"There's no rush, just start from the beginning." He said there was no rush, but the urgency in Sumo's eyes was almost ready to burst out.
In this way, Chen Kai could only tilt his head and think carefully for a while, then slowly said:
"Identity, as we all know, is a new gameplay launched in Wasteland Four Years along with Wasteland Version 4.0 'Extreme Survival'. At first, the lords of each territory were notified of the gameplay details and regulations, and it was not followed until late in Wasteland Four Years.
Version 4.5 of the transaction point system is officially launched”
“After the launch, identities are only used to delineate camps, and the price is very cheap. No matter which territory the identity belongs to, it only requires 10 trading points at most to purchase it, and it needs to be verified by the territory manager after purchase.
It took effect and provided a lot of convenience for communication between humans in the New World.”
"But no one expected that in the late five years of the wasteland, with the start of version 5.0 of the 'competition for survival', this thing would undergo earth-shaking changes and become a butcher's knife."
"Game statement: The development of large human territories has become too large and has the effect of overwhelming the sky. As a result, small territories can only survive under the conditions and cannot start new changes. Therefore, the identity begins to be redefined. The larger the territory, the better the development. Purchase the identity
The greater the cost, conversely, the smaller the territory, the cheaper the identity, which can help small territories quickly accumulate population and generate counterattacks."
"Furthermore, identity is not a one-and-done deal. Taking our Tianyuan territory as an example, we need to pay a huge tax to the game based on the population every year. The more the population, the more we pay."
"Once the taxes and fees cannot be paid in full, they will start to be eliminated from the bottom. Starting from the cheapest people, they will be forcibly kicked out of the territory by the game overnight, resulting in the transaction points purchased before being wiped out."
Speaking of the cruel reality, Chen Kai sighed slightly, picked up the beer on the table and took a big sip.
Population, in the current environment, is both delicious honey and deadly poison.
Recruiting outsiders into the territory is not a problem.
But if you want to support these people, there are big problems.
And this is also the fundamental reason why Tianyuan Territory has always controlled the permanent population at around 500,000 for so many years.
