Text Chapter 1309 Illusion and Reality
Long Yunxin had heard about the Battle of Karan.
That was the most critical link on Wu Yingqi's road to the peak of power, and all the grand plans and vicissitudes of the future came from it.
In this battle, Wu Yingqi "sacrificed" eight million civilians and wounded soldiers on Karan, wiped out the Supreme Command of the Holy League's invading army, took advantage of the opportunity to receive a large amount of military supplies from the Holy League, and firmly Controlled more than a dozen border worlds.
Is it worthwhile to "sacrifice eight million to save tens of billions"? This rather entangled question is also a popular debate topic that often appears in the debates of Feixing University.
Long Yunxin had also thought about it briefly.
But at that time, she was sitting comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the comfortable temperature and exquisite food, and being with three or five close friends, either from the perspective of the members of the Star Sea Republic or even the speaker, or from the perspective of the Black Star Emperor Wu Ying. From a strange perspective, even from the perspective of "people of later generations" who surpassed Wu Yingqi and the high-level officials of the Star Sea Republic, it was purely talk.
She had never tried to look at this matter from the perspective of an ordinary person who lived on Karan at that time.
No, you can't say "see", but "feel" this event yourself, and become a witness of history.
Long Yunxin swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, feeling that his throat was fishy and icy, his soul was like falling into an ice cave, and his internal organs were completely frozen.
However, his whole body was extremely hot, and his skin was in a burning pain, like an electric arc attack in an illusory world, which still remained deep in the bone marrow until now.
She stretched out a trembling hand, and chose a game character with a different identity.
these people……
Or the miners who have been living on Karan, in the dark mines, dedicated their lives in obscurity, digging out the raw crystal ore.
Or the family members of miners and smelting experts, teachers, doctors, nurses, and waiters living in the living quarters.
Even the soldiers who were seriously injured in the previous stage of the battle and were too late to be transferred, the battle heroes.
Even though they are the most inconspicuous little cells in the entire civilization, there are countless wonderful and moving stories about them.
Ordinary youths who were originally low-level miners took up light energy impact picks and raw ore crushers after the invaders of the Holy League occupied Karan Star, and became elusive guerrillas in the depths of the underground mine tunnels covered with dense cobwebs and criss-crossing paths.
The doctors, nurses, and waiters who used to work in the living area were vain and obedient, hiding a large amount of supplies and secretly supporting them to the deepest part of the mine.
The battle heroes who were seriously injured, arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, leaning on crutches, supporting each other, rushed towards the overwhelming starship of the Holy League.
What impressed Long Yunxin the most was a young female teacher on Karan Planet.
After the flames of war invaded this small planet, she stepped forward to protect more than 20 elementary school students in her class.
She secretly hid the national flag of the Star Sea Republic, and taught the children to sing the national anthem of the Star Sea Republic over and over again.
When the deafening roar of the starship came from outside, these immature voices condensed into the final city wall.
As she sang, she would burst into tears and say: "No matter where you drift to in Xinghai, never forget your hometown, remember, we are from Xinghai Republic, from Kalan Star, and we are all Kalan people! "
but all this
Whether it is the tenacious resistance of the guerrillas, the bravery and unyieldingness of the disabled soldiers, the little persistence of the common people, the crisp singing of teachers and children...all are of no use.
Because, no matter what the "victory condition" of each game character is, they cannot persist until dawn.
Everyone's ending is the same, being completely swallowed by the thunder storm from the ground, and turned into powder together with their home planet Karan!
There are no miracles, no superheroes, no twists and turns and Jedi counterattacks, destruction is their only future!
This is a game that will never win, not even a "game", but some kind of holographic, penetrating "cutscene".
But there is an inexplicable attraction that attracts Long Yunxin to play over and over again, experiencing the last joys, sorrows, emotions, longings and disillusionment, hopes and dreams of the residents of Karan when the end of Karan Star is approaching. despair!
The last cutscene focuses on the female teacher.
The female teacher was the first to discover when Wu Yingqi planted the spar bomb in the depths of the planet Karan in advance, detonating all the amethyst crystal resources of the entire planet and setting off a thunderous wave on the horizon.
She immediately jumped up, opened her arms, faced the thunderous waves, shouted loudly, and protected all the children behind her.
It was like in the game of "Eagle and Chicken" they used to play, she played the eagle and guarded every "chicken" in the back of the ass.
The female teacher used such a gesture to contend against the Black Star Emperor who was about to establish a real human empire.
Even though the strong light blinded her for a moment, there were still clusters of magnificent flames dancing in the depths of her eyes.
Facing the huge thunder waves, she remained motionless, refusing to give in. Until she and her children were torn into pieces by the electric arc and turned into smoke, she still maintained such a posture, like a statue made of some mysterious substance .
"Whirring whirring……"
Long Yunxin tightly covered his face, letting tears flow from between his fingers, trembling silently in the game room for a long time before recovering a little.
This is simply a poisonous game!
But she can't wait to try more game content.
Even a girl like her who doesn't like to play military strategy games, after experiencing everything on Karan, can't wait to play the entire game, and wants to choose to become a member of the Star Sea Republic and a general of the Central Army , the lord of the frontier world, do everything possible to stop Wu Yingqi, stop the Black Star Emperor, and stop the True Human Empire!
Taking a long breath, he felt a dull pain in the depths of his brain. Long Yunxin knew that this was a sequelae of a severely distorted time perception after staying in the game cabin for a long time.
Can no longer play.
She glanced at the time and was about to exit the game cabin.
"Hey, it's been half a day!"
Long Yun secretly clicked his tongue.
She is a person with strong self-control ability, and she has no habit of indulging in the game world.
But the game "Civilization" does have an indescribable magical power, which makes people want to stop and can't stop at all.
Leaving the game room in a daze, many students around have also completed the test, but they are not as chattering and excited as they were when they came here just now. They curled up in the corner, thinking silently, with expressions on their faces that were sometimes in a trance, and sometimes Confused, sometimes epiphany, wonderful.
There were even a few emotional girls who shed pearly tears like Long Yunxin.
Perhaps, they also played the expansion pack "Rise of the Empire", but what they saw was not "Rise of the Empire", but the destruction of ordinary people!
"Teacher Long!"
Seeing Long Yunxin approaching, several girls seemed to be grabbing straws in the torrent, and they all surrounded him.
"This game is too scary, the continuation of civilization, is it really so difficult?"
"I, I really don't know how to choose! When I first played Wuying Civilization, I thought the Shamans were so hateful, and the Wuying people were too kind, almost too kind! But when I changed the role and played a Seven or eight of the sandman women who lived, aged, and died in the desert were devoured by monsters. After being killed by the disease, I felt that as long as my children could live like the Wuying people, I was willing to pay any price. You can do anything, and any gods and demons are willing to believe in it!"
"Kalan Star! Karan Star! Is the destruction of Karan Star really inevitable? I never knew what the concept of 'eight million people' is. Now I know, maybe..."
The girls burst into tears.
Usually, at this time, enthusiastic boys would come over to "save the beauty", comfort the girls with playful smiles, and eat tofu by the way.
But today, some boys who have just finished the test are also sitting next to the game cabin, with sunken eye sockets and straight eyes, thinking quietly, wandering in the sky, and lost their minds.
Long Yunxin was a little overwhelmed, and reluctantly found an excuse to go to Li Yao, and fled the game center under the guidance of the staff.
Li Yao was in an elegant house behind the game center, talking and laughing happily with a benevolent, fairy-like, white-haired elder.
Seeing Long Yunxin coming in, he immediately greeted him.
"How did you develop such a magical game?"
Long Yun didn't care about politeness, and went straight to the point, "It's not a 'game' at all, is it? All the civilizations in the game have existed in real life, and all of them have been destroyed, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yao admitted frankly, "After we took over the war base of the True Human Empire, we disassembled and studied each magic weapon unit. Among them, the secret room used to brainwash the cultivators and transform them into immortal cultivators is what we studied. Focus!"
"We found that in this 'brainwashing room', not only the history of the decline and decline of three civilizations is stored, but dozens of different cultivation civilizations."
"Perhaps, immortal cultivators can choose the most suitable brainwashing material according to the characteristics of the brainwashing target!"
"Based on these brainwashing materials, we added the materials that the cultivators boasted about the great martial arts of the Black Star Emperor, and continued to improve and strengthen them, and finally became "Civilization" and its first expansion pack "Rise of the Empire" !"
"As for whether the content of the game is real, of course it's not completely real."
"On the one hand, in the original data of the real human empire, there must be a lot of added oil and vinegar, subtle elements, and we can't fully believe it."
"And in the process of adapting it into a game, we also hope to add more diversified content, so that the reasons why each world is 'destroyed' are richer and more universal."
"So, it's not 100 percent historically 'true'."
"However, all the calculation logic and the various reactions of the virtual characters are infinitely close to 'real', that is to say, in the depths of the vast sea of stars, it is indeed 'possible' for these things to happen!" (To be continued.)
