My Players' Second Playthrough

#349 - The tide of the times

"Three, two, one, turn off the heat!"

Under the nervous attention of countless people, the miniature controllable nuclear fusion reactor code-named "Xihe" completed its first ignition test.

After burning continuously for 168 hours, this micro-reactor of less than 60 cubic meters, like a hard-working old scalper, smoothly completed the ceasefire and cooling.

"Successful?" The head of the base stayed here for seven days, eating and sleeping with the researchers, witnessing this historical moment together.

The white-haired commander-in-chief calmed down, opened the thermos cup and blew on it. After taking a sip of hot tea, he said calmly:

"It's not certain yet, but the effect of the new magic pattern steel exceeds expectations."

The chief noticed that the commander-in-chief’s hand holding the thermos cup was shaking, so he continued to ask:

"Just make an irresponsible judgment casually and tell me, a layman, when will it be installed on the spacecraft?"

The commander-in-chief glanced at the leader and said half-jokingly:

"I'd say it's okay now."

He gave an extremely exaggerated time, and worried that laymen would take it seriously, he immediately added:

"I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. A spaceship carrying controllable nuclear fusion is not a fat man that can eat it in one bite. It will take at least two years to start."

"Isn't there ready-made information? Why does it take so long?" The chief became a little anxious.

Although they can block domestic information, the blocking time is limited.

Those guys abroad have noticed something is wrong with that game.

In less than two years, and probably at most two months, drawings of miniature controllable nuclear fusion will appear in research laboratories in other countries.

It's a race against time.

The commander-in-chief also knew that time was running out, and after hesitating, he simply explained:

"There are two problems. One is that the loss of magic patterns is highly uncertain, and the other is that our nuclear fusion facilities have not been tested in the space environment. Human lives are at stake, and there are too many unknown variables."

"Fortunately, the progress is going smoothly. If human life can be ignored, we can already start designing the spacecraft. However, in order to prevent accidents, at least five 'Xihe' reactors must be prepared on the ship."

Look, a miniature nuclear fusion reactor can provide energy for an entire spacecraft.

But just in case, prepare five on the spaceship!

This is the value of the word "micro"!

The leader can't wait to let these scientific researchers design the spacecraft immediately. When the time comes, he will personally take command and be the first to fly to space to explore.

But he also knew that not only could he not be the master of this matter, but no one dared to be the master of it.

As early as 1961, when humans first set foot in space, space was already a blue ocean. 89 years later, space is still a blue ocean, but its importance has always been unquestionable.

Humanity mastered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion more than 20 years ago.

At that time, humans enthusiastically believed that they had endless energy.

However, the alarming losses of controllable nuclear fusion have gradually extinguished human confidence.

The loss of nuclear fusion is not in the fuel, but in the materials of the reactor.

Now, combining magic from other worlds, a new "magic pattern steel" has been created, which seems to have solved the most troublesome material problem.

This is a technology that can change the world. It is one of the most critical periods in the entire history of mankind.

But humans are never satisfied.

After shrinking a nuclear fusion facility as big as a mountain into a reactor the size of a water tank, anyone can imagine transporting the furnace into space and establishing a production base in the universe.

It is not difficult to imagine that maybe in 50 years, the solar system will become a prosperous "vegetable market" like the novels of the Golden Age.

People are building cities on Venus, mining ores on asteroids, there are daily flights to Jupiter, and there are rampant space pirates...

"We are in the wave of the times." The chief couldn't help but sigh.

According to the time on the announcement, the new version will not be updated until early in the morning.

But if you are a player who has been online, you will find that the game system has already changed drastically before the announcement was issued.

The first is the eight times speed, which is much faster than the three times speed of a normal holographic helmet.

A day passed in the game, but only three hours passed in reality.

It can be said that if you don’t count sleeping time, as long as you play this game every day, your life will be eight times longer than others.

The discussion on the Internet is very intense, and it has exceeded the previous popularity. Especially those game anchors with a certain appeal are going crazy and opposing the change in the flow of time.

After all, their jobs are at stake.

The eight-fold time acceleration they spread will cause irreversible damage to the brain.

Most of the fans watching their live broadcast were passers-by who were not qualified to play. Naturally, they didn't mind watching the excitement and started cheering along with them.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

But for real players, eight times the time speedup is a good thing.

Those supporters and opponents were scolding each other on the Internet, with all kinds of backhanded and outrageous remarks emerging in an endless stream.

"What the hell, after decades, these people on the Internet are still like this."

Li Li looked at the scolding on the forum and felt his mood became impetuous. He immediately made a major modification to his official forum.

"Specially Check Your Tax Avoidance" was having a heated exchange with netizens when it suddenly discovered that the forum was under maintenance, indicating that major changes were about to be made.

He had no choice but to switch back to the game, pinched his eyebrows, and sat on the boat sulking.

Because "Expedition" protects the player's information so well, he couldn't open the idiot's box. He could only question the thickness of the opponent's household registration book, which made him even less than happy to scold him.

"Why are you fighting with them? Who knows if those people are getting paid." "Brother Hedgehog" swung his fishing rod and advised with a Buddhist look on his face.

"I'm tired of being stupid." "Specially investigate your tax avoidance" took a deep breath, reviewed the achievements just now, and sneered: "I scolded him ten times and asked him about his household registration, and he just said "haha," That’s why eight times acceleration is not good.”

"Brother Hedgehog" put away his fishing rod, and as expected he caught nothing. He sighed:

"With an eight-fold acceleration, you can work in the game in the future, finish a day's work in one hour, and then enjoy the game again."

"I even want to get the dead eunuch author I know to come in and let him write a book in this game, but sleeping every day is too terrible."

"Yeah..." "Specially investigating your tax avoidance" frowned.

They are on their way to the Starlight Islands, planning to activate the main city there so that others can teleport there.

Players have activated 3 main cities and can now teleport between the Fertile Continent.

Originally, the major guilds had been planning for a long time, as to what kind of big boss would be near the main city. However, when a group of top combat forces arrived, they found that there was an ordinary monster spawning point.

This left everyone speechless and realized that the game company's production capacity was insufficient.

but……

"Brother Hedgehog" raised his head and looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, knowing that the lack of production capacity was a lie.

The "Stars" map opened above is much more exaggerated than several bosses.
