Federation Year 9, March 1.
The world's first virtual online game, "Galaxy Era," was officially open to beta testing.
At this time, Xing Hai Technologies' "Fantasy: Third Generation" virtual helmet had sold more than 1 billion units. Players with a strong interest in "Galaxy Era" had basically bought the helmet they wanted.
…
9: 40 in the morning.
There were 20 minutes left.
"The starting point of the open beta is the supreme ruler of a planet. Every player has a planet.
The impact of the closed beta on the open beta is almost negligible. Players who participate in the closed beta do not have any obvious advantages except for being more familiar with the operation of the game. In this regard, Xing Hai Technologies has indeed taken care of the interests of most players.
"Qinghai, Yichen, Wanqiu, let's all seize the opportunity and do a good job!"
Li Dong said in the chat group.
"Understood!
We have to do a better job this time.
We must become a great god worshiped by people! "
After looking at the time again, Li Dong put on the game helmet and clicked to enter the game. Everything before his eyes was white.
…
The Milky Way.
A panoramic view of the Milky Way, which was like a flat plate and covered with bright stars, was presented in front of Li Dong.
He stood in the void with a dark background.
Li Dong heard the system prompt.
"Player, please set your ID name." A translucent glowing panel was placed in front of him.
"Dong Zhi Mu."
"ID name 'Dong Zhi Mu' has been successfully set. Player, please adjust your appearance. "A glowing 3D human model rotated in front of Li Dong. It was his own imagination.
But for the sake of confidentiality, players generally would not use their own appearance in reality. They would make some adjustments.
Li Dong thought about it. He increased the height of the 3D character model to 1.8 meters and slightly trimmed the face. His attractiveness increased by about 20%.
"That's enough. If I'm too handsome, I won't be able to get out of this world. No matter how cruel reality is, I still have to face it bravely."
The basic setting of personal information was completed.
The system unfolded a huge star map and introduced:
"Player Dong Zhi Mu, this is the star map of the entire Milky Way galaxy, including more than 200 billion stars. But according to the Green Bank Formula, the number of star systems with life-bearing planets is about one in a million; the number of star systems with water-rich planets is about one in a thousand; and the number of star systems with rich heavy elements is about one in ten.
"Water is the prerequisite for life, and heavy elements are necessary components of civilization."
"Players can choose from three forces: life star systems, colonial star systems, and exploitable star systems."
"A habitable star system is the most valuable, with a population capacity of up to 100 billion. A colonized star system is a migratory place suitable for human habitation after simple modifications, with a population capacity of more than 10 billion. A developable star system refers to a place with a certain amount of resources and potential for development, but without a main planet, the population capacity is relatively low, only about a few billion."
"In terms of social structure, it is roughly divided into three categories: there are civilization archons similar to the Earth Federation, colonial spaceship captains carrying technological data and population bombs, and independent pioneers carrying a small part of technological data and population … There is a big difference between the starting points of the three."
Li Dong nodded. The gap was too big.
The Civilization Consul managed more than ten billion people; the captain of the colonial spaceship, in addition to a spaceship and a number of crew members, had to use the population bomb to reproduce a civilization.
The most pitiful were probably the independent explorers. In the beginning, they only had a few people by their side, and after they opened up, it was quite difficult for them to increase their population … It could be said that they had the lowest starting point.
According to the Green Coast Formula, there were only about 20,000 star systems with life … In other words, only about 20,000 players had the chance to become a Civilization Consul.
Divided by one billion.
The lucky ones who embraced the "golden start" had a probability of only two in a thousand.
"Player Dong Zhimu, because of your good performance in the closed beta, your closed beta score is ranked 9992. As a reward, the system will assign you a star system with life, and you will become the Supreme Consul of a perfect civilization … This is a reward that only 10,000 players can get."
"So please choose the light spot that belongs to you on this star map and start your journey."
On the huge Milky Way star map, tens of thousands of blue light spots suddenly brightened, like dazzling night pearls.
And there were constantly blue light spots turning red, indicating that they had been picked by other players.
"I'll choose that one!"
Li Dong pointed to a blue light spot at the edge of the spiral arm of Perseus and said, "I want this star system."
He did not know which was the best choice, but he followed a simple principle: Do not join in the fun.
It would be better to stay in the corner.
"Okay, the name of the star system you have chosen is Star KO- 13687095. You can give it a convenient and easy to use name," the system said.
"How about Star Zhiyuan?"
"This name has already been given by a player."
"How about Eastern Jupiter?"
"Yes, dear player, the settings have been completed. I will teleport you to your star. I wish you a happy life."
"Okay, thank you."
Li Dong's eyes lit up with a strong white light.
…
When he opened his eyes again.
In a hood-shaped building that seemed to be floating in the sky.
Li Dong stood in a huge, empty, and simple space that looked like a control hall.
A row of silver-white consoles was placed on the edge.
He walked to the transparent window and looked down. Countless modern buildings surrounded the tower beneath his feet, forming an extremely prosperous city. It also symbolized the political center of this planet.
The Tallest Tower.
That was the name of the tower under his feet.
Opening the console in front of him, Li Dong inquired about some basic information:
Eastern Jupiter: A life-supporting planet with a diameter of 14,500 kilometers and a land area of 50.5%
Population: 10.58 billion
Science and technology level: I civilization (advanced), has mastered controllable nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, and other technologies, and has preliminary ability to explore the universe
Management structure: Supreme Consul > Federal Parliament > City Parliament … Current operation is stable
Military strength: United standing army of two million
As well as other information, he looked through all of them.
"Not bad, this is a good start."
"Controlling a civilization, inheriting the culture of this civilization for thousands of years, receiving a huge amount of knowledge and resources … These rare riches are impossible for most players to obtain."
"This starting point is no less than opening a plug-in. The starting line is much higher than others … Qinghai and the others will definitely be very envious."
"In the next journey, I have to make full use of these advantages and make some good results so that others will no longer look down on me!"
"Ah ~ the ordinary me in reality, right here, let me unleash my potential."
Li Dong opened his arms. At this moment, his chest was full of energy.
