Chapter 158 Players’ Revenge (Second Update)
After determining that they needed to increase the technological ceiling as much as possible, the squirrels temporarily changed their development goal to excavating technological relics.
Almost all the ancient ruins within the Tiandao network have been excavated, so they can only venture to the shadow area and excavate here.
The special force field shield equipped on the ship can temporarily isolate the erosion of the shadow, but every time the shield is turned on, the load of the ship's reactor will increase rapidly, and it will soon enter an overheating state.
If it does not stop within two minutes, the only outcome for the spacecraft is that the reactor is overloaded, the furnace shell melts due to the high temperature, and the spacecraft is annihilated in the shadows.
Due to technological gaps, the squirrels were unable to solve this problem. They could only allow the driver to enter and exit the shadow-shrouded area as quickly as possible in these two minutes, search for all relics, and bring them back.
Since the two minutes also include the return time, the squirrels' range of activities is not large. After all, they can only bring things back alive.
But for players, as long as things come back, people are not necessary.
After getting the new main quest and acquiring ancient technology, some players quickly worked out the corresponding version of the answer.
The body must be the fastest Kuafu. This kind of spacecraft has the lightest mass and can make repeated space jumps, which allows it to quickly enter the shadow and start scanning.
In the chip that can be inserted into the body, scanning and extreme calculation are necessary. The former can make the scanning range larger and the scanning speed faster, so that the surrounding situation can be quickly understood and various relics can be found quickly.
After finding the ruins, just jump the ruins directly towards the matrix range and continue searching.
Since players do not need air to drink water, the air equipment, circulating water equipment and constant temperature equipment need to be removed when the spacecraft is modified to increase the speed again.
The modified spaceship is almost like a coffin. The maintenance personnel will tremble subconsciously when they look at this thing. But when they see the players entering it without caring, then heading towards the shadow and starting to search for the ruins, they tremble even more. .
God be damned, these apostles of foreign gods are really terrifying.
For players, this process is jokingly called drawing cards.
The price of VR flight simulation cabins has dropped. You can have three lives at 5 yuan at a time. If you play these three lives in normal mode, you can play for about half an hour, but if you play in treasure hunting mode, you can only play for six minutes.
In these six minutes, players need to drive the Kuafu to scan and flee frantically within the range of the shadow, and find as many ancient ruins as possible before the body explodes, and send them back.
Some ruins only have some storage media that cannot be restored, but some may contain complete new weapons. This kind of card-drawing behavior makes some players enjoy it, and they have received a lot of points rewards.
The addition of new modes has caused the "coin swallowing rate" of VR simulated flying chess to increase again. Many video game arcades even specially found Kirin Industries to introduce the machines, and then made a lot of money.
Every time the player's body explodes, a brilliant colored light will be left in the shadow. This light symbolizes the passing of life, and due to the slowing effect of the shadow, a light bridge will stay in the air for a long time.
Seeing the light bridge should be a very sad thing for the squirrel, but it is completely different now.
Tens of thousands of players piloted the Kuafu to "draw cards" crazily. The explosions of the spaceships brought light one after another. In the dark shadows, light balls were almost everywhere, dyeing the outside world with brilliant colors like light pollution. .
The squirrels in the past would never dare to do this.
The mortality rate of relic hunters is as high as 21%. Every time they enter the shadows, there is a 21% chance of never coming back.
Not to mention the possibility of being captured by the shadows and chased by monsters transformed from the shadows. Even the ace hunter Glacier Team was almost torn apart by the hands of the shadows. If they were not lucky enough to fall into the black hole and return to their home planet, they would not be where they are now. of them.
The ultra-high mortality rate means that their detection frequency is only dozens of times a day, and their spacecraft will not regenerate and the astronauts will not come back. The huge loss is a heavy burden that weighs on the squirrels.
But they have to do it.
The gap in technology means that they must use this method to get the opportunity to develop. Living in this universe is a very luxurious thing, and it is an opportunity that the mice must do their best to seize.
"Pilot Song" is the best interpretation of their philosophy. All fear and despair will be eliminated in this song, and in the end only the courage to go forward despite knowing that it is death will remain.
But things are different now.
The joining of players has continuously increased the speed of exploration, and also allowed technology from ancient ruins to continuously flow into the base, making squirrel scientists the most urgently needed job.
Before the newly rescued squirrel understood the situation, he was put on a white coat and small glasses, dragged into the research ship and hung with a work badge, and a new scientist was born.
Take your plague chicken, find a room and join them, they will tell you what you need to research.
When you are sleepy, take a bite of the chicken. When you are tired, take a bite of the chicken. If you can't read the book, take a bite of the chicken. You are an omnivore and the chicken is too lazy to eat with a smile!
This strange atmosphere also made players look at them frequently, feeling that these squirrels were really weird.
In this situation where both sides feel that the other is weird, and when a large amount of ancient technology has been unearthed, the technological explosion has finally arrived.
Room-temperature superconducting materials were discovered, a new reaction furnace manufacturing method was discovered, a new force shield generator was discovered, new... The
originally broken technology was finally completed on this day, and the squirrels' technology tree was finally opened up. A small main stream.
Next, this main stream will bring together all the industries of the Squirrels, allowing them to finally conduct formal research and begin to connect other industries.
After confirming that it was correct, a large number of squirrel scientists burst into extremely loud cheers. The cheers in the spacecraft matrix came one after another. Many young squirrel scientists even fainted. In the end, they were saved by a mouthful of plague chicken.
It was a blessing in disguise for them this time. The natural disaster on their home planet actually became the reason for them to obtain a complete technology tree. This gave them a new understanding of the saying that blessings and disasters depend on each other.
When Sir Big Tail excitedly told the news to the players, they didn't have much reaction.
After the bald squirrel explained the significance of this matter, the player's legion leader roughly understood, and then asked excitedly: "So, we can go beat up that tragic lady?" "
Well... almost That's what I mean!"
"Long live!"
Looking at the belated apostles, Sir Big Tail felt that no one should offend these apostles.
Too vindictive.
Battlestar is still the most advanced spaceship, but new technology can rearm the ship and evolve it into a new cosmic weapon, the Star of Destruction.
Each star of destruction has a diameter of more than 1,300 kilometers, and inside it is some kind of ancient instrument. Currently, squirrels only have the method to make this instrument, but they don't know the principle.
When it is created, its inner core only weighs one kilogram, but as long as it is thrown into any range, it will continue to absorb the surrounding material, and then convert the material into armor, growing layer by layer. A star of destruction.
Weapons, reactors and even force shield generators all grow from its core, and the terrifying growth rate makes it an almost indestructible fortress, symbolizing the strongest combat effectiveness of the squirrel civilization.
It is also a large military station, where players' spaceships can be stored and ready for battle at any time.
It also has a special gravitational field. Spacecraft that are not marked by it will be eroded by a shadow-like gravitational field within its gravitational range, and it can also provide additional boost to the marked spacecraft.
When the Destruction Stars appeared one after another, the huge and perfect creations made every picky player widen their eyes, intoxicated by these perfect weapons full of destruction. Ten Stars of Destruction correspond to ten battle groups. Players' space fortresses are placed on the Stars of Destruction, and they use the Stars of Destruction as vehicles to prepare for an expedition against the Tragedy Lady.
In order to regain the ancient instrument and the king, the squirrel and the players unite.
The spaceship matrix is not of much use in this kind of war. These squirrels can only stay near the home star and wait for the return of the expeditionary force.
Amidst the exciting music, Sir Big Tail looked at the majestic satellite-like weapon in space, and his heart was filled with intoxication.
It usually has two biggest wishes. One is to see the day when the squirrels obtain a complete technology tree, and the other is to see the day when the squirrels obtain supreme power.
Today, its wish finally came true, filling its heart with pride and glory.
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord."
It was just a sentence that the Mu Kui people often said, and through communication with the Mu Kui people, Sir Big Tail also learned the name of the outer god.
No, that is no longer an alien god.
That is the Great God.
Now Sir Big Tail has become a loyal believer of the Great Heavenly Lord. He will transform into the Great Heavenly Lord's sword, cut through obstacles for the Great Heavenly Lord, and defend the name of the Great Heavenly Lord to the death.
Even if the Great Heavenly Lord doesn't accept it, it's okay. This is its choice and the choice of thousands of squirrels.
Standing in the cabin, Sir Big Tail looked at the ten destruction stars in space and saw them starting to charge up and preparing to make a space jump.
It cannot stand on the Star of Destruction because it shoulders the responsibility of guarding here, but even if it cannot go, it will still pray for those brave warriors and pray that the blessings of the Great God will accompany them as they move forward.
The Star of Destruction is finally fully charged.
Their shadows disappeared like a mirage, and the huge spherical spacecraft appeared dozens of light years away the next second, then disappeared again and jumped again.
Although it is huge, its jumping speed is comparable to that of the Kuafu.
Following the previously recorded coordinates of the appearance of ancient instruments, they arrived at the first stop.
The Tiandao area is divided into more than a dozen rings according to the distance from the center.
The middlemost area is the center, which is the territory of the gods. It is always sacred and noble. Ordinary beings are not even qualified to enter it and can only watch it worship devoutly.
After that comes the first ring.
That is where the supremely powerful people are. Those who have transcended the shackles of life of their own race are qualified to settle there, compete in martial arts, and improve the power given by the gods.
After that, there are areas where various powerful races are allowed to live.
Powerful races were allowed to stay close to the center, where they were close to the gods and could easily feel their light.
The further you go outside, the larger the area of the ring is, but the less attention the Tiandao network pays to it, and the squirrels living in the seventeenth ring are undoubtedly the least important part of this network, and they will not matter even if they are destroyed.
But today, the squirrels are going to give the world a little shock.
Directly crossing the scope of the third ring, the ten Destruction Stars directly crossed to the position of the fourteenth ring, and saw the planet where the Tragedy Lady had stayed before.
This is the home planet of a race of foxes whose cunning and greedy nature endears them to the Tragedy Lady.
After getting the ancient instrument, Lady Tragedy stayed here for a while, and because she was in a good mood, she taught some cunning knowledge to the races here to make them more cunning.
Although the Tragedy Lady has left here, her generosity still made this race become believers in the Tragedy Lady and decided to defend the name of the Tragedy Lady.
Therefore, when the Star of Destruction appeared, they were shocked by the terrifying appearance of the Star of Destruction.
However, worshiping the tragic lady made them full of confidence, and they even shouted through the radio: "This is the place where the tragic lady stayed. You can't stay here." "
Is that your satellite factory over there?" A planet of destruction Star's player captain asked.
"What?"
"Is that your factory?"
The satellite factory on the horizon began to highlight, and the entire satellite was surrounded by a layer of white light, making it look very conspicuous.
The supernatural situation made the sender hesitate for a moment, but he still said hesitantly: "Well... yes."
"Very good, it is not now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the factory began to disintegrate.
All the workers were controlled by force fields and flew across space and landed on their home planet.
Seeing their factory disintegrated and turned into dust, these foxes were furious. A large number of spaceships were about to fly out to fight, but a Destruction Star flew out and very accurately tore all the spaceships about to set off into pieces through the force field. of powder.
The disappearance of the spacecraft means that the foxes are completely disarmed and they have lost the ability to go to space.
Faced with this situation, the fox king decisively chose to surrender.
After asking about the next stop of the Tragedy Lady, Destruction Star immediately began to prepare to jump.
Before the jump, a captain said harshly: "Don't believe in any god, it will only harm you." "
I understand. May I ask you heroes, what are you going to do?"
"Ms. Tragedy."
After that, With these words, the Star of Destruction jumped again and disappeared in front of the foxes.
