This game is too real.

Chapter 772 Progress on the South and North Routes
"It's not bad."

In the captain's cabin of the Iron Heart, Chu Guang watched the stage play on the holographic screen while drinking black tea with milk, with an expression of interest on his face.

"The acting skills are online, and the script is not bad."

"There are too many hammers and mothers in the lines... Is this stuff written by the locals themselves?"

He has long been tired of watching real film and television works, and the localized works carried by players are more embarrassing.In contrast, he is still more curious about some new tricks played by the survivors in the wasteland.

For example, "Boll the Awakened" written by Sberg made his eyes shine. Earlier, there were those "lime poems" written by Hal, and even the picture book dedicated to him by the little princess Honey Badger-"Thick Hair father and son".

Compared with "exotic products", these locally-born works can better reflect the spiritual world of wastelanders.

As a manager, his duty is not only to guide, but more to "understand".

In the latest sociological research report on Borneo Province from Ms. Han Mingyue, such a representative work happened to be attached.

Although the old-fashioned stage play does not match the trendy viewing equipment, it is surprisingly reasonable to put it on the wasteland.

Back to the stage play itself.

The name of the play is "The Story After the Rainstorm". The playwright is a poet of the Niu tribe, including the creation of the script, the design of the lines and even the music in the stage play.

All the stories of the entire stage play take place in a house on Tulip Street, and according to the depiction in the play, that house is actually the governor’s mansion in Nihak, and the rainstorm refers to both the rain outside the window and the gold blown into it. The "wind" of Gallon Harbor.

However, the whole stage play is not about Governor Nihak and his servants, and has nothing to do with current events and the overall situation. It just witnesses the end of an era from the perspective of a small nobleman, and it is highlighted by two love stories that ended without a disease. It explained the confusion of the protagonist in the "exploration period"——

Everyone around him was leaving him, but he himself didn't know where to go, let alone where he was.

In a sense, the spiritual world of the protagonist in the play is very similar to that of the old local nobles.

After landing in Borneo, although the alliance did not plunder the property of the locals, those nobles no longer had any privileges of the old days, nor were they respected and worshiped by those around them.

Even if their lives are good for the time being, if they cannot adapt to the times, it will be a matter of time before they sink into the tide of the times.

At the end of the video appendix of the stage play, Han Mingyue left his opinion as a researcher.

"... what interests me is not the plot of the stage play, but the shadow of existentialism and nihilism that appears in this stage play at the same time. I think this work is as representative as Red Earth, which is a radical voices, the former are conservatives, they all belong to this period, and they are all a microcosm of the unique cultural phenomenon belonging to this period.”

Turning off the holographic image, Chu Guang continued to look at the report written by Ms. Han Mingyue.

According to the point of view mentioned in its latest research report, the new cultural movement in King Gallen Port is in full swing, and its enthusiasm is no less than that of the local large infrastructure.

The sprouts of two art forms, Romanticism and Realism, appeared in the Golden Galleon Harbor at the same time.

Even more than that, the former has gone a step further—as for the leaping evolution, and on this basis, the embryonic form of existentialism was born.

That is to say, apart from human existence, there is no morality and soul outside the body. Morality and soul are created by human beings in the process of survival, that is, human beings are not obliged to believe in specific religions and rituals.

These things have appeared in the history of the People's Federation, but it is too rare to see them in the Wasteland Era after the Prosperous Era.

Of course, at the same time, there is another extreme--nihilism.

That is, the negation of all meanings, and the belief that all things that people do are powerless and futile.

The survivor culture in Borneo originated from the Lowell camp, and the proud culture of the local survivors covers 400 million square kilometers.In contrast, Haiya Province, which affects the sensitive nerves of the three "fallen empires", is even smaller than a state of the empire.

Even slaves in farms and manors can puff up their chests and say that the "Fallen Empire" and the "Battle of Heaven" are just a few strange-looking big crabs fighting in a cricket cage.

However, in the face of a new survivor force that has just risen for two and a half years, their pride was completely smashed to the ground.

Even if they counted the thousand pillars of the City of Thousand Pillars ten thousand times, they still couldn't understand why when the alliance and the torch fought, it was just the wind blowing inadvertently with punches, which destroyed the empire that the empire was proud of and regarded as The spearhead of the "gray wolf".

Although conceit and inferiority are two extremes of self-cognition, they are not contradictory when they appear in the same person. It can even be said that the two attributes are actually hand in hand.

Compared with the City of Thousand Pillars, the Lowell Camp, which symbolizes authority, is the spiritual totem in the minds of the survivors of Borneo Province. Even if the locals have never prayed to it, they will not even pass by it. Consciously lowered his head and quickened his pace.

However, few survivors in Borneo truly realized that prayer is only a "form" of worship for believers to express awe to the gods, and it is not the whole of faith, let alone its essence.

People in the primitive society compiled myths out of awe of wildfires and sky thunders, offered dances to the gods out of awe, and offered sacrifices to totems...

Myths, dances, and sacrifices are not enough to sum up the essence of faith, and awe-or fear is from the heart.

Due to the arrival of the alliance, the majesty of the Lowell camp was trampled underfoot, and the old local nobles not only lost the income brought by slaves, but also lost their spiritual sustenance.

The current trend of nihilism is popular among the local upper class, and it is mainly reflected in the two fields of music and painting.

After all, these two fields have a higher "entry threshold" than writing, and the residents of Port Camgallon who have just learned to write are still at the stage of learning Renlian, which is full of "union flavor".

"..."The Story After the Rainstorm" is just an episode of my research report. I know that you pay more attention to the voices of progress rather than the groans of conservative forces. But I believe you are sensible and should know the radical There is only one step away from the extreme, and the torch is the most intuitive example."

"Currently, the survivors of King Gallon Port have formed a consensus to demolish the thousand pillars of the City of Thousand Pillars. Because of the same consensus, all walks of life are united like never before. Although I prefer to think that the opinions of the majority are spiritual. Demolition, not in a physical sense, but I worry that this movement will eventually grow out of control, resulting in the destruction of important cultural relics and research materials."

"Before it was destroyed there, I thought that it would be better to leave some video materials for a local investigation. This is a valuable material for sociological research... Although my research results cannot immediately reflect any practical effects, but I I still want to apply to you to relax the regional authority for mission release, as well as a Viper transport plane and a 12-man tactical team."

Chu Guang read the report to the end, tapped his index finger on the desk, and finally rejected her request.

"...I don't mean to belittle sociological research. On the contrary, I attach great importance to it. However, we have signed an armistice agreement with the empire. Rushing across the ceasefire line may involve the army in the already complicated regional affairs, and even put it in The sticky bodies on the frontlines are going all out and dragged into a new quagmire, and I cannot grant your request."

"Of course, I will seriously consider your suggestion and urge the shelter residents who are active in the local area to support your research through indirect intervention and protect the new heritage of the 'post-prosperity era'."

The Church of the Torch is procrastinating, the Cohesion has only completed its siege, and it will take some time to completely resolve this trouble.

If the alliance intensifies its intervention in Borneo, the Legion will immediately follow up and expand its influence and territory in Borneo, which may not be conducive to the spontaneous change of local survivors in the end.

It is better to maintain the status quo, use Jin Gallon Port to contain Xifan Port, and let the local survivors decide their own future.

And, the local survivors are actually not doing too badly.

The officers transported inland from Jin Gallon Port were passing through Huzhou and heading towards the northeast corner of Borneo Province as soon as the Yue tribe's resistance army declined.

According to Fang Chang's report to Xiaoyu at the "hearing", the "Military Strongman" they invested 1000 million silver coins to support has successfully obtained the first round of venture capital from the people of Jin Gallon Port and Potato Chips Port. A capital of nearly 2000 million silver coins was invested, and a "new Gold Gallon Port" was planned to be established at the mouth of the Tasang River in Mammoth State.

The economic potential of this port may not be as good as the Golden Gallon at the mouth of the Yongliu River, but it can also radiate to two or three inland states next to the Tasang River.

Although the pie did not fool Xiaoyu, several shareholder representatives who attended the hearing at the same time were indeed enticed by the pie, and stood on Fang Chang's side without hesitation.

To be reasonable, if it is possible to create another Golden Gallon Port, will it be a loss to spend 1000 million silver coins?
Not bad at all!

Ideal City has a strong family background so that it doesn’t need to expand, and you can live a happy life with the door closed, and you still have spare money to go to the wasteland for rewards, but does Dawn City have this family background?

Overseas business must expand!

Now that we have food and mines, we are short of population.

If that Lassi could really turn the animals in Borneo into people, who cares what he is, no matter how outrageous it is, can it be more outrageous than that witch camel?

After seeing a series of "material evidence" presented by Chief Fang, Xiao Yu didn't say anything in the end, and lifted the summons after the former added a complete plan.

In fact, her approach is entirely based on the alliance's charter, and there is no deliberate favoritism or deliberate suppression.

Chu Guang is also very pleased with this result.

Whether it is for Baiyue Company, Xiaoyu, or the changes that are taking place in Borneo Province under the guidance of players.

There is also wasteland there, there is no such thing as the wasteland of the main line and the wasteland of the branch line.

The corrosion of Jinchuan Province originated from the torch of Haiya Province, and in the final analysis, it is in Qingquan City in River Valley Province—or the mother nest of Qingquan City and shelter 117.

The Naguo in the Haiya Province comes from the Baiyue Province, and the key to finally solve the Naguo - the B-type Naguo strain also comes from this province, or from the Baiyue province that has not yet been discovered by players. A slime mold nest in the province.

The land reclamation of Baiyue Province is inseparable from the support of the survivors in the southern sea area, including the study of the sunken remains of the Tianting, the alien species on the seabed, and the brood.

The same is true if you want to develop the Great Desert. The alliance must bring together the survivors who "went there and escaped from there" to solve their problems, or at least bring people who are willing to go out from there again.

Everything that happens on the wasteland seems to be separate, but in fact they are all intertwined.

If they don't take every step well, no matter how much inheritance they inherit, they will never be able to return to the starry sky they once touched...

At least it will be hard to see in his lifetime.

……

The sun and moon on the battlefield are like snails on the tip of a leaf, and the front on the northern front moves slowly and permanently.

Time slowly arrived in late September.

The coalition forces on the northern front have successfully controlled the entire territory of Laishan City, and have penetrated into the hinterland of Haiya Province in the form of flowers blooming on three sides.

Facts have proved that the coalition forces' war of attrition is effective.Even the representatives of the legion always criticize that the alliance is taking advantage of the cohesion system to enrich its own pockets and take the opportunity to develop its own industry.

But after seeing the Alliance's casualties on the front lines—especially those of the Vault residents—they were less able to say those harsh words.

Enterprises have no opinion. Stable and continuous input and predictable output are their pursuit. They only worry about unexpected risks, not expected ones.

As for the academy, no one could guess what they were thinking. Chu Guang himself could guess at most [-] to [-] percent. Those people's obsession with secrets was the same as their attitude towards knowledge.

The Church of the Torch seems to be waiting for changes, continue to increase chips in the southern waters, and sent an advance force eastward, trying to set fire to the Prancing Horse Province.

This advance force led by a pioneer and hundreds of apostles happened to collide with the 99th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Enterprise.

A fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides on the plains, and in the end the latter, who was equipped with more and more fancy equipment, gained the upper hand, and the advance team was defeated.

A small number of new players participated in the battle as mercenaries, and it is said that they got a lot of equipment because of it.

But in the end, these equipments were basically recycled at high prices by enterprises such as Jushi Military Industry.

After all, those bigwigs engaged in military industry gave too much.

In addition, there are also mercenaries who went to the Legion or even the Hound Special Forces. Some players who are keen on "unconventional paths" even summarized the remuneration and cost-effectiveness for working for various forces on the official website forum. The best way to catch fish.

Among them, the income of the alliance is the most stable, and the growth curve is the smoothest, as if carefully designed.

After all, it is the "protagonist force" hand-picked by the game official, and it naturally serves the majority of people. It is suitable for ordinary players who don't want to take the lead with swords and large corps.

As for the company, as the local tyrant in the background board, the first rich man in the wasteland, even ordinary soldiers may become NPCs who send missions, and the money given is also the highest. The only fly in the ointment is the actual combat equipment The value is a bit lower.

In addition to the great use of bionic chips and some implanted prosthetic bodies, things like exoskeletons or light weapons are really better than selling them for money.

If it is the pursuit of equipment, the Academy and the Buguera Free State are better choices.The former's own technical reserves are the ceiling of the wasteland, while the latter is backed by the Great Rift Valley and no one dares to fight. It has somewhat stolen from the former in the past century.

As for the legion, the money given is not much, and the equipment is average, but there may be unexpected gains, just like the guy in the [Battlefield Atmosphere Group].

After reading the post written by the player, Chu Guang couldn't help but like it.

This guy really understands the new version, and at least he has to be a five-surname house slave.

Of course, on the premise of not violating the "Player Handbook", Chu Guang has always encouraged players to take the initiative to "go out".

However, these small details had little impact on the overall situation of the battle. Chu Guang only learned about it through Xiao Qi, and did not put his perspective on it to observe carefully.

At present, the area of ​​Haiya Province's "purification zone" has expanded to 7 square kilometers, which is close to one-tenth of the total area of ​​Haiya Province's 67 square kilometers.

Its meaning is probably equivalent to chewing down the first mountain top of Shifeng Mountain, but there are more difficult "mountains" to chew, and each one is more dangerous.

It would be great if the southern line could open a breakthrough, Chu Guang, who was in command of the front line, thought so more than once.

Especially now that the submarine mother of the Conch has been completed, the Meissner effect armor has also been successfully installed on the flagship of the South China Sea Alliance, and the radar base stations and missile launchers on Shazhou Island have also been deployed one after another. The timing of the decisive battle has never been better.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to urge his allies in the south to make a move, a telegram with a battle plan was suddenly sent to Xiao Qi through the special line of Potato Chips Port.

The code name of the plan was "Laken"—that is, the most ferocious sea beast in the southern seas, probably similar to the Death Claw of the River Valley Province.

The author of the plan is Li Minghui, the naval commander of the South China Sea Alliance. The South China Sea Alliance authorities have given him all the command powers of the Anle Island Naval Base and the garrison fleet.

"...The fishing boats and harpoons that hunted Laken have been polished, and the South Sea Alliance fleet is ready to take everything back or sacrifice everything!"

"We plan to launch the final decisive battle in early October to completely wipe out Chalas and his henchmen who are entrapping the residents of the North Island! And completely exile the Torch Cultists and mutants on the island!"

"This action will affect the future of all of us, and we need your support!"

The telegram was only three short paragraphs, but the accompanying battle plan had a full dozen pages.

Including using the captive Reef as a bait to create a loophole to lure the battleship "Hai Ya" to leave the port, including suppressing the island's anti-aircraft firepower, covering the landing of the Alliance ground troops, and so on.

Since there is a torch force on the North Island, the South China Sea Alliance hopes that Dawn City will be the main force in the ground battle.

After the event is completed, the close cooperation between the South China Sea Alliance and the alliance will continue. At the same time, the North Island will serve as the alliance's logistics transit base, which can be used as a springboard for the alliance to attack the south coast of Haiya province.

After reading the battle plan in its entirety, Chu Guang suddenly burst out laughing.

"Good job!"

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, tilted her head.

"Master, do you think their plan is good?"

It feels that this plan still has certain risks, and the South China Sea Alliance has almost all the chips on it.

The corner of Chu Guang's mouth slightly raised, and he tapped the holographic screen a few times with his index finger, and sent the battle plan to the staff and the regiment commander on the southern front.

"...wrong or good, you can't talk about it with a map, you have to try it out if it works."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Qi and gave two consecutive orders.

"Notify the players on the southern line to gather at Potato Fries Port! You don't need to be very specific, just say that the server has a new event!"

"In addition, let the Burning Corps and the Goblin Corps enter the battle preparation phase immediately! Be ready to be dispatched at any time!"

Seeing the excitement flickering in Chu Guang's eyes, Xiao Qi gave an alliance salute energetically.

"Roger that!"
