My Global War Game

Chapter 8 Doomsday Response Comprehensive Department

The live stream has ended, but the global "celebration" continues.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"I never imagined I'd be alive and live to see this day."

"Hey, what are you all so happy about? The world is going to end in six years!"

"Destroy it if you want, I'll be a beast of burden every day and enjoy myself as I go."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I played Earth Online for six years and then died. I feel like my life wasn't wasted."

"And it's not necessarily going to be destroyed. Didn't the camera say that we still have a chance?"

"I've successfully registered! Hahaha~"

On the Chinese internet, opinions from all angles emerge endlessly.

Moreover, the majority of people's emotions are not fear of the impending apocalypse, but rather excitement that the cyber age has arrived.

Of course, a large part of this is because there are more young people active on the internet, and their opinions dominate, while middle-aged people, the elderly, or many low-key people do not comment, leading to a seemingly one-sided public opinion.

Besides the eager anticipation from Earth Online, many people are also paying attention to the "conducting scientific research" function.

"Can you start your own scientific research simply by having computing power?"

"Holy crap, that's insane!"

"As expected of an advanced civilization, their technology completely surpasses ours."

"Indeed, if they invade Earth, we will either be destroyed or enslaved."

"Hehehe, maybe even alien slaves have to abide by an eight-hour workday."

"I already know what I want to research! Hahaha~"

"Once I get into the game, I'll fucking get a gun first, and then I'll kill that idiot boss of mine."

"Brothers, can't you have some sense of perspective? We were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze; we must fight for the rise of China!"

"Take over Australia first, and then the 'south' in the south will be the south of the Southern Hemisphere!"

Game enthusiasts, apocalypse enthusiasts, war enthusiasts—all sorts of enthusiasts make up the overwhelming amount of news on the internet.

But everyone shared the same thought: they were all incredibly excited for the next round of the game a week from now!

at the same time.

On the Gobi Desert of Siziwang Banner, China.

The unit, fresh from the battle, was heading towards its base.

Inside the carriage, some soldiers were receiving counseling and reassurance from professional psychologists, while others were still being questioned.

"How's it going, Battalion Commander Chen?"

Inside a Mengshi military vehicle, Chen Xiao had just opened his eyes when the captain next to him quickly asked a question.

Chen Xiaogang organized his thoughts and said:

"It's roughly the same as the training ground."

"It was a huge and vast space. I ran at full speed for five minutes and couldn't find the boundary."

"Or rather... this space is centered around me."

"There is no such thing as a boundary."

At this moment, we are conducting an investigation into the game system, including three-dimensional attributes, training grounds, laboratories, and so on.

"I understand, please continue."

The captain nodded. There were cameras recording the scene, and staff members were taking notes.

"The usage is similar to that of the training ground."

"It's about controlling it with your mind."

"Whatever you think of, you can reproduce directly."

"However, there are some differences. The training ground can only reproduce some things from my memory, such as weapons and equipment, our training ground, and various other things from my memory."

"And a laboratory can be used to create and imagine things."

"Actually, it's not just any thing; it can appear as long as you can imagine it in your mind."

"But there's a problem with this kind of fantasy: it has to be very realistic, otherwise the result will be flawed."

"I've envisioned a three-story-tall war machine."

"But many parts are blurry because I didn't think of those things."

"And it's empty inside, because I didn't expect the internal structure."

As Chen Xiaogang spoke, the captain nodded, until Chen Xiaogang paused slightly, at which point he quickly asked:

"The camera said the lab can do research and development."

"How should we perform in this regard?"

Faced with this question, Chen Xiaogang took a sip of water and continued:

"I think there are two main aspects."

"I had visited a military factory before, and I recalled the ammunition production process inside. Then the whole set of equipment appeared."

"Unfortunately, I only know the surface and not the inner workings, so this equipment cannot be used."

"I think if they are professional technicians, the equipment they reproduce must be real, so they can use this equipment to produce various weapons and ammunition."

"If we use other, more advanced equipment, wouldn't it be possible to develop it?"

Upon hearing Chen Xiaogang's words, the captain's eyes lit up.

"And the second aspect?"

He quickly pressed for an answer, and Chen Xiaogang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:

"The second aspect feels a bit surreal to me."

"I was thinking to myself, I want to develop a gun that can easily pierce through the Zerg's shell."

"Then, a virtual screen appeared, telling me that the research project was ready."

"Ask me if I want to start."

"When I looked at it, it showed that it required hundreds of millions of computing power!"

"Then I tried other things, such as a high-explosive grenade, a shell that could cause mass destruction, an insecticide that could kill monsters, a handy dagger, and so on."

"These projects require different amounts of computing power, with the least requiring several hundred points."

"The most numerous ones have so many zeros after the number that they're uncountable."

The captain's eyes gleamed, clearly indicating that he was pondering the deeper meaning behind Chen Xiaogang's words and their possible future developments.

"Commander, how much computing power do you have left?"

"12!"

This point has already been established: whether in the training field or the laboratory, computing power is required for its use.

"Okay, okay."

"Then, Battalion Commander, please lean back and rest for a while."

Finally, the captain reassured Chen Xiaogang and began typing rapidly on the computer.

Hundreds of kilometers away.

In Yanjing, a special department was established at the fastest possible speed.

"Doomsday Response Comprehensive Department"

It is considered special because this department is directly under the state and has priority in coordinating various departments.

At this moment, there were more than twenty leaders sitting in the conference room, some in civilian clothes and some in military uniforms.

"Everyone, that's all the intelligence we've gathered so far."

"Everyone is welcome to speak freely."

The person who chaired the meeting was one of the two giants of this department, named Yang Jian.

Primarily responsible for various arrangements and coordination at the practical level.

The other person is Wang Chuan, the chief person in charge of the Red and Blue military exercise. He is mainly responsible for the in-game war and related arrangements, but he is not currently in the conference room, but is participating remotely.

"I have two questions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a leader raised his hand to signal.

"First, the camera said that everyone can sign up for the next round of the game."

Should we impose restrictions at the official level?

"If everyone goes to games, won't reality come to a standstill?"

"I think this is a big problem!"

"In the future, if games like this are held every day, does that mean such a large country with so many people will just do nothing but play games all day?"

"If that's really the case, I think the cameras are designed to destroy human civilization!"

"Secondly, he said that laboratories can be used for scientific research."

"I am strongly opposed!"

"We have no idea who owns the cameras, or even whether this could be a conspiracy orchestrated by the United States."

"If that's the case, then wouldn't all the technology we use for research in the lab eventually be leaked?"
