This Game Is Too Realistic

New Era Year 3, May.

After two and a half years, the "Truth" colony ship ordered by the college from the alliance was finally completed.

The starship has a total length of 67 kilometers and is shaped like a hexagonal prism. Its structural components and protective components are all made of ceramic materials.

It is divided into seven areas, from bow to stern, including port and maintenance area, security and equipment storage area, reactor and shield core area, bridge and command center area, production and engineering area, residential and public area. Facilities Area, Research and Educational Facilities Area.

In addition, a mass-accelerating orbit runs across the entire starship from the stern to the bow.

It can launch asteroid-level "heavy mass bombs" straight ahead for emergency braking, or it can project carrier-based aircraft or be used for residents' daily cross-regional commuting.

Although the starship was modeled after the drawings of the "Zhiyuan" colonial ship, the actual finished product was much longer and more than a little wider than the Zhiyuan.

Under extreme conditions, the starship can accommodate a population of 3 million.

According to the academy's plan, they will move along the Orion Cantilever toward the Sagittarius Arm, exploring the mysteries of the center of the Milky Way while looking for a new home.

After finding a habitable planet, they will launch a colony capsule onto the surface, replenish resources and transfer part of the population before moving on, leaving a spark for human civilization.

Although it may seem unseemly to do this in a new era, Dr. Conclusion has no intention of changing his plans.

Digital life is generally so stubborn, and its stubbornness is completely different from human immortality.

However, the alliance still showed respect for the college's decision and abided by the agreement to help them achieve this ultimate goal.

In order to complete this starship, engineers at the Lagrange Point Star Port even specially installed a plasma thruster and a starship-level fusion reactor on an asteroid, and pushed it to near the Earth's synchronous orbit for dismantling , smelting and reprocessing.

When the "Truth" was completed, the asteroid was basically hollowed out, and the last slag was taken away by the South China Sea Alliance's reclamation company for land reclamation.

The alliance originally planned to complete the starship within five years, but the actual production progress was much faster than expected, so that the plan was completed two and a half years ahead of schedule.

The main reason for this result was that the relocation and resumption of production of the Wandering Swamp No. 4 space base exceeded expectations, and the prosperity of the manufacturing industry along the southern coast also exceeded everyone's expectations.

Especially the latter.

Since the establishment of the new space elevator, multiple settlements on the Death Coast and the Baiyue Strait have spawned a large number of outstanding aerospace companies like Abu Aerospace.

Most of these businesses were founded by wastelanders.

Although the word wastelander sounds unreliable, the former is no less enterprising and courageous than the residents of the shelter.

This is actually not just the case in the alliance, similar patterns exist in most areas in the wasteland.

In other words, the vast majority of shelter residents, excluding players, are more inclined to become workers in a stable society than entrepreneurs, and the few entrepreneurs are also former shelter managers.

Not only because of their aversion to risk and the sequelae of living in a highly differentiated society for a long time, but also because they themselves do not have as big a need for money as ordinary people. Basically, they have nothing else to do if they can maintain their relatively comfortable living standards. .

In contrast, Wastelanders just don't like saving money, but they still like silver coins and Cr.

What is really lacking in the wasteland is never technology. The technology left before the war is enough for the people living in the ruins to digest it for a long time.

What people living on this planet really lack is actually more of a stage to "turn creativity into a forward driving force for civilization, rather than a backward driving force."

But now, they no longer lack this stage.

Even the Borneo people who were struggling with the feudal curse a second ago still have the opportunity to become leaders in a certain industry or field after cleaning their heads of unrealistic delusions.

At least in the niche field of "plasma engines for aerospace use", there is no more prominent company than Abu Aerospace.

Those with higher technical content are either much more expensive or have insufficient production capacity. If the price is cheaper than it, the technology is more than a little inferior, and the production capacity will naturally not be increased if it cannot get orders.

In short, these aerospace companies that are deeply involved in their respective fields have formed a huge supply chain network with the help of technology from colleges, shelters, and enterprises, as well as full competition.

Like worker bees, they tirelessly decompose the resources imported from the space elevator to the surface, and after processing them into intermediate products required by the Lagrange point star port, they are launched into synchronous orbit through the space elevator, where they The space port is packed onto the transport ship and finally launched to the Lagrange point.

Although this patchwork supply chain is far less comprehensive than that of the pre-war era, it has its own unique features.

For example, "flexible".

To give a popular and inappropriate example, the supply chain in the pre-war era was like a workshop filled with tool boxes, in which there were thousands of models of replaceable screwdriver heads, each targeting different application scenarios.

The supply chain of New Era is a "hammer that can be used to tighten screws." Although there are no thousands of replaceable screwdriver heads, or even no replacement at all, this tool can be used without any sense of violation. Hundreds of application scenarios.

Although the former has absolute cost and efficiency advantages in large-scale manufacturing, it is as fragile as glass that breaks when dropped.

Although the latter has a slight disadvantage in large-scale manufacturing, it itself is as tough as plasticine. Just like an old-fashioned TV, a kick in the originally broken area may repair it.

Under such circumstances, even if the production capacity of Lagrange Point Star Port has not returned to pre-war levels, it can build a large number of warships like dumplings and also build a "Zhiyuan" colonial ship for use, but it has gained The ability to integrate all productivity into one starship.

It is precisely because of this that this starship surpasses any starship in the Prosperous Era in terms of size and comprehensive functions, becoming a new milestone in the history of human civilization.

At the same time that the college's "Truth" colony ship was completed, the alliance's aerospace industry chain and space resource exploitation finally developed to a relatively mature level!

In addition to the mining stations on the asteroid belt, the Alliance has also established a repair station and scientific research station with a scale of 100 people on the ruins of the Martian colony in the Alliance era.

At this point, the "solar system revitalization plan" proposed by Chu Guang at the Nian Community meeting has successfully entered the middle of the first phase. Human civilization will regain the boundaries of the Human League era and return to the Kuiper Belt just around the corner!

…

The space station at the end of the space elevator.

Two and a half years ago there was only a solitary orbital defense platform, but now the fortress lined with gun barrels is surrounded by space capsules of various sizes.

Some of those space capsules are alloy smelting workshops or automated production units.

Others are experimental facilities rented by surface laboratories, or living units where aerospace staff live.

It is different from the space stations of the old era.

Most of these space stations built in the new era are not equipped with counterweight rods to adjust the center of gravity, nor are there any constantly rotating counterweight devices.

The reason is mainly because most of the space stations built in the early to mid-prosperity period relied on spin to provide "gravity simulated by centrifugal force." However, for people in the new era, "artificial gravity" is directly generated through gravity generating devices. It is a more economical and reliable option and saves a lot of space.

With the development of the times, the old way of life will gradually become history.

Including the space elevator.

Even in the extremely developed and prosperous era, this kind of anti-gravity elevator without "chains" sounded like science fiction, but in the new era it has become a reality.

The silver-white space structure spreads for more than ten kilometers along the orbit. From a distance, it looks like a dandelion floating next to the blue planet.

Prismatic elevators shuttle back and forth along the invisible track between the umbrella leaves of the "dandelion" and the surface, taking people from the surface to the sky.

But what is different from the past is that most of these people will not come back after going to space.

As a continuation of human civilization and a new beginning, they will go to the galaxy that no one has ever been to and open up new frontiers for human civilization...

The colony ship "Truth" has been firmly anchored in the earth's synchronous orbit.

A total of 99,700 researchers have decided to leave their home planet for the future and have reached the spaceport floating in outer space through elevators.

Although this number is 300 fewer than expected, it is enough for Dr. Conclusion.

Not to mention 300 people missing.

Even if there are only 300 people, he will continue to move forward along the determined path.

At the door of the landing module, Yang Kai, who had been promoted to level A, looked at Jiang Xuezhou with a complicated expression.

The latter is his favorite disciple, and the true genius whom he is most optimistic about being promoted to an A-level researcher.

However, what he didn't expect was that this student with a promising future in his eyes would actually choose to quit and submit his resignation when his career was at its peak.

Although Dr. Conclusion had approved her resignation, Yang Kai couldn't help but ask one last question.

"Have you considered?"

He swore.

As long as she is willing to look back, he is willing to go to Dr. Conclusion in person to intercede for her and restore her original level.

Anyway, there are still 300 establishments on the ship that have not been filled. I believe that Dr. Conclusion will not refuse.

However, Jiang Xuezhou's answer was the same as he expected, without any change.

"I've thought about it."

Looking at those serious eyes, Yang Kai's Adam's apple moved.

He had a lot to say, but ended up swallowing most of it back in his throat.

"...Really? Then I have nothing to say."

After leaving these words, he cast his sharp eyes on the young man named "Ye Shi" standing aside.

Most of the residents of Vault 404 have names like this.

Even though he knew about Project 404 and the Beta Universe, he still couldn't accept it.

Looking at that sharp gaze, Ye Shi felt a little nervous for no reason.

Especially when the other party says the next sentence——

"Treat her well."

That sentence has only four syllables in both Renlianyu and Chinese.

However, Ye Shi subconsciously straightened his back, placed his right fist solemnly on his chest and performed a military salute.

"yes!"

"..."

Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help laughing at this untimely reaction, and almost couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.

The corners of Yang Kai's mouth also twitched, but the tight wrinkles also relaxed a little.

He could tell that this young man valued her.

It seems like you have nothing to worry about?

No--

To put it more directly.

Compared to the guy who was willing to risk life and death for her, I was just sitting in a research ship drinking tea and probably didn't have the right to worry.

It's strange to say that he shouldn't be so reluctant to part with it.

In an academy that adheres to the law of the jungle, researchers are nothing more than consumables.

It seems that he has indeed invested so much unnecessary emotion in this student that he regards her as his own child.

He closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.

You can take this as a warning in the future...

"Take care of yourself."

After leaving these words, Yang Kai waved his hand, turned and walked towards the corridor leading to the landing cabin.

Conclusion The Doctor is already calling him.

It would be rude to keep it any longer.

However, just when he took a step forward, the crisp voice came from behind.

"Master!"

He was startled, subconsciously stopped, and turned around in surprise.

And the moment he turned around, he saw his beloved disciple bowing deeply to him.

"Thank you! You taught me so many things...and you have been cultivating me. I failed to live up to your expectations...I'm sorry!"

This silly kid...

Yang Kai felt a little unable to hold himself tight and turned his face away in a hurry.

"No need to thank me——"

"You don't owe me anything, and you don't owe me anything."

"As an elder, I owe you a lot."

After that, he moved forward again and walked towards the landing module faster, as if he didn't want to stop for a moment.

Ye Shi watched him leave, and then turned his attention to Xue Zhou, whose eyes were filled with tears.

He said to her with red eyes in a gentle voice that he had never used many times in his life.

"It's time for us to go."

It's not just the "Truth" that's about to set off.

There is also the "Orion" that has been repaired.

Because there were some unplanned crew members, they were supposed to set off two and a half years ago, but they were delayed for two and a half years on the surface before leaving.

"Yes!" Jiang Xuezhou nodded vigorously and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Dora and Koala, who were standing behind the two of them, looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces.

It was an expression the latter had only recently learned.

Originally it was just a machine, but perhaps after spending a long time with these "psychics", it unknowingly had emotions similar to humans.

Or soul.

…

the other side.

The tower of the space station.

Two digital beings communicate silently in the dark space using radio waves that no one can see.

"congratulations."

It was Dr. Conclusion who said this.

A long time ago, before Zhan Jianwen reached the end of his life, he uploaded his thoughts to the circuit board, achieved immortality at the cost of death, and began a long journey destined to have no end.

It is precisely because of this that he is sincerely envious of a guy who has achieved "HE" and cleared the level perfectly.

"Hehe, you're welcome. In fact, Xiao Qi didn't do anything. It's mainly due to the master."

"Master...does you mean the manager?"

"Yes." Facing that voice with a hint of envy, Xiao Qi said in a cheerful voice, "He called me Xiao Qi. I like this name very much."

He had shown off this name to someone once, a long time ago when we were at Linghu Lake.

Conclusion Dr. was silent for a while and then continued.

"Really... But if he dies, you will probably be sad too."

Xiao Qi said happily.

"No, he said that no matter how far he goes from now on, he will take Xiaoqi with him! Also, it doesn't matter even if we are no longer here, our continuation will be left in this universe. When the time comes, it will They will continue to protect the people living on this planet for us. In exchange, they will continue to tell our stories... until the heat death of the universe."

"Really... That's really enviable." Dr. Conclusion let out a heartfelt sigh.

After a pause, it said its final farewell in a solemn tone.

"Well, goodbye... I hope to see you next time I pass by here."

Xiaoqi replied enthusiastically.

"See you!"

There should be no problem within tens of thousands of years, but there is no guarantee for it further away.

However, the next encounter shouldn't take that long.

The signal disappeared.

The silver-white starship was like a bullet shot into the void, leaping towards the channel that existed in hyperspace and disappearing into the deep and dark starry sky.

Following closely into the hyperspace channel was the Orion guided missile cruiser covered in emerald green scales.

It is also a child of human civilization.

And not only the children of human civilization, but also the children of the Earth and Gaia.

Carrying the tree seeds of the Tree of Life and Xiao Yu’s mother Xiao Hong, as well as more than 3,000 crew members dedicated to exploring the new world... they will take the lead in heading to Tiancang Wu 20 light years away, where they will open a world that has never been touched by the People’s Union. New waterway.

There is the relic planet left by the pioneer civilization.

It is also the next new map that will be launched in the closed beta test server of "Wasteland OL"!

It is said that the planet is covered with void projections that are far more photographable than the mutated creatures in the wasteland, and hunting them will result in a true "upgrade (dimension)"... just like the public beta server.

As for what the future will be like, only people in the future will know.

At least, for the people standing on the blue planet at this moment, watching their children travel, their mutual future will be infinitely bright...
