Chapter 746 Identity and 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 began to process it. Reply.
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 was indeed a bit outrageous, it would still be possible to complete it.
All the way out of the office, everyone followed the elevator down 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 stepped 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 from his waist, and started giving instructions.
After a while, when the sound of arrangements came from the other 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 into the lead car and was quite surprised for a while.
The performance car used for pick-up and drop-off is also a fifth-generation performance car, with almost perfect safety and controllability.
And 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 you up there?"
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 into the office late at night by the mayor, Chen Shen, for a talk was a unique treatment, even in the past few years when talent was widely recruited.
On the way to the mayor's building, everyone was still wondering whether there would be an extra like-minded partner tonight or an enemy with a different political orientation.
But what they never expected was.
This Su Youzong completely convinced Chen Shen just by "drawing a big cake".
Suddenly, he was neither a companion nor an enemy, but his boss? !
"It's okay, I didn't take it seriously."
"In the future, when I go to Baoyu County, I will have to rely on your help. It's too crude 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 said quickly: "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 it.
Seeing that Su Mo was curious about the screen, Chen Yi directly volunteered to explain.
"This "Eagle Eye" high-altitude and low-altitude tracking system is a masterpiece developed by our territory at the end of six years. 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, except for the young eagle, which cannot be mounted due to its size, The bombs can only be responsible for range surveillance. The other three levels can load ammunition to a certain extent to 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 that after they go 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 it 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 just use whatever means they have.
But among humans, there are originally few survivors, and buildings are expensive.
If you continue to crush them with bombings for several rounds, even if you win the battle, the goods you receive 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 don't dare 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 are the only ones with 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, 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, in the past few years, we believed too much in technology, which led us to go astray later and let the territory go."
"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 technology 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, we wouldn't have only this little grain stock now, right?"
"Huh? This 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 3 wheat is not easy, with our R&D capabilities, we want to make a matching harvest." Machine, hold the handle."
"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 used the virtual realm to deduce it?" Sumo 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 accurately deduced through repeated simulations, not to mention the number of new sets of servers that have been added.
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 most frequently used ones were the use of human power and the use of machines.
Using human power, we have performed the simulation 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 had various accidents, which resulted 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 the word "Risk" 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 for the first time.
“Where do they have the money to pay the high price of status?”
"Cancel, no, can't we lower the points required for identity?" Su Mo asked.
But this time, Chen Kai did not answer.
And all the people sitting in the car looked at monsters, and their faces looked like they were listening to a fairy tale.
"Don't you know that the points for identity are set by the game? The money for purchasing the identity is also paid directly to the game, and we can't get it at all?"
"What?" Su Mo was shocked and subconsciously exclaimed.
He thought that the identity system was a new function forced by the game, from which high intermediary fees were charged, and humans were forced to move forward continuously.
He also thought that the territory was willing to participate in it and get this money for continuous development.
But Su Mo never thought about it.
The identity system was proposed by the game from beginning to end, and all the points received were taken into the pocket, and not a single cent was provided to the territory.
"Isn't this robbery? The game only uses one identity to confiscate human resources?"
"Yes, you can understand it this way," Chen Kai said, "In addition, the identities are not all exploited by the game. According to the different levels of each territory, if we sell more identities, we can also get some special rewards. Although these rewards are not fixed, if we can open a good one, its value is enough to be 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 energy car, Chen Kai stopped talking and laughed.
"The craft beer here is unique. Even the military commanders in the Dragon Flag Territory always want this one every time they contact me!"
Pushing the door and getting out of the car, the middle-aged shop owner with a tuft of mustache obviously received the news in advance and was waiting at the door.
Seeing everyone coming, he greeted them cordially: "Mayor Chen, all the bosses, please come in. There's nothing else tonight, but beer is free!"
"Very good! Baojin, I've been waiting for you to say this!"
Slapping the other person on the shoulder excitedly, Chen Kai walked in front, and the group walked in in a mighty manner.
In the wooden house, the place had been cleared under Jiang Xiaoyu's advance arrangement.
It's just that the smell of alcohol in the air and the slightly messy tables and chairs can make people vaguely see that the business here was also very good before.
Walking in along the aisle, not long after, more than a dozen people were divided into three private rooms and sat in.
Following Su Mo in a private room.
They are Chen Kai of Sangtian Town, Chen Yi, the manager of Xishou County, Chen Jie, the manager of Longkou County, Chen Hou, the manager of Anzai County, and Chen Zheng, the manager of Tianyuan City.
The status of the five people is the highest among the first generation of Chen, and their abilities are also ranked at the forefront.
But.
Just after they sat down, before the beer and snacks were served, Su Mo couldn't wait to continue asking.
Seeing him so anxious, Chen Kai could only sigh:
"No wonder the clan leader attaches so much importance to it. With your dedication, we are ashamed of ourselves."
"But identity is a long story. You have never been exposed to this aspect before, so I have to talk to you slowly."
"No hurry, just start from the beginning." Although he said he was not in a hurry, Su Mo's eyes were eager to burst out.
In this case, Chen Kai could only tilt his head and think for a while, then slowly spoke:
"As we all know, identity is a new gameplay launched in Wasteland 4 along with Wasteland version 0 'Extreme Survival'. Initially, it only notified the lords of each territory to collect the gameplay details and regulations. It was not until the end of Wasteland 4 that it was officially launched with the trading point system of version 5."
"After the launch, identity is only used to demarcate camps, and the price is very cheap. No matter which territory the identity is from, it only takes 10 trading points at most to buy, and after the purchase, it needs to be verified by the territory manager before it can take effect, which provides a lot of convenience for communication between humans on the New World."
"But no one expected that in the end of Wasteland 5, with the start of version 0 'Survival Competition', this thing has undergone earth-shaking changes and has become a butcher's knife."
"Game Statement: The Development of Human Territory Being too large has the effect of covering the sky with one hand, causing small territories to survive under it and unable to start new changes, so the identity begins to be redefined. The larger the territory, the better the development, and the greater the cost of buying an identity. On the contrary, the smaller the territory, the cheaper the identity, which can help small territories quickly accumulate population and make a comeback."
"Also, identity is not a one-shot deal. Take our Tianyuan territory as an example. Every year, we need to pay a huge amount of taxes to the game according to the population. The more people, the more we pay."
"Once the taxes cannot be paid in full, the last place will be eliminated. Starting with the people with the cheapest identity, they will be forced out of the territory by the game overnight, causing the previously purchased trading points to vanish."
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 foreign population into the territory is not a problem.
But it is a big problem to support these people.
This is also the fundamental reason why Tianyuan Territory has always controlled its permanent population at around 500,000 for so many years.
