Chapter 9 New Dungeon: New York Drop
Chapter 9 New Dungeon: New York Drop
Similar scenes occur in almost every country in the world.
The impact of games on real life, military deployments and arrangements within games, the effectiveness and potential risks of laboratory functions, and other issues are common topics of discussion in all countries.
The differences are related to each country's economy, military, population, geographical location, and international status.
Countless politicians and military strategists held meetings in conference rooms, some calmly and some excitedly, analyzing the present and planning for the future.
Main island, Tokyo.
Around the large conference table sat two rows of people dressed in almost identical suits.
The one sitting at the very front is naturally the Prime Minister.
"If that really is the future."
"For us, I think it's a catastrophe."
"The first island chain can defend China, so conversely, if the enemy comes from the other side of the ocean, it will also become their barrier."
"And we will be the first to face those Zerg."
The Prime Minister's expression was serious, and his voice was even slightly hoarse.
"Moreover, we will definitely find ourselves in a situation where we are attacked from both sides."
"On the Pacific side, there are the Zerg and the US military."
"On the other side of the island, besides the US military and the Zerg, China is also highly likely to take action."
"To use an analogy, we are the city wall. The moment the city wall collapses, they will be directly facing the enemy."
"Therefore, if I were the decision-maker in China, I would definitely attack the island the moment we encounter an enemy, regardless of whether it is friend or foe."
"Only in this way can we wear down the enemy as much as possible, far from our homeland!"
After a moment of silence in the room, an elderly man with gray hair spoke with a glint in his eyes, as if he had already foreseen that scene.
He had barely finished speaking when another person tapped the table and said:
"So now is the key."
"It's about determining whether that's truly the future."
"Which country or aliens were behind all of this?!"
"We need the truth in order to make decisions."
Instantly, a younger-looking middle-aged man with slicked-back hair sneered:
"The truth you want will never come."
"Such technology is absolutely impossible to find anywhere in the world right now."
"No matter how much we investigate, we won't get any results."
The vast majority of people present seemed to agree with this statement, and the Prime Minister, sitting at the front, coughed lightly and said:
"We will plan according to the future."
"The investigation is also underway, but we shouldn't have too high hopes."
At this point, he looked at the middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and said:
"Yamamoto, tell me your thoughts."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the conference room, the middle-aged man referred to as Yamamoto said:
"Then let me share my thoughts."
"First, we need stronger military power."
"Secondly, the United States can no longer be relied upon by us."
"I would even say without reservation that the weaker the United States' military power is, the better it is for us in the end times."
"Third, we must find a way to acquire a piece of land!"
"This island is our home, but it's not a good place when the end of the world comes."
"It goes without saying that we would be surrounded by enemies. If the shipping lanes were cut off, we would instantly lose all our industrial capacity."
"At that time, destruction was inevitable."
Before he could finish speaking, the other man flew into a rage!
"Slap! Nonsense!"
"Do you intend to lead the people of this island to destruction?"
"Land? A piece of land? A piece of land with strategic depth?"
"Where are we supposed to look? Do you want to start another unjust war?"
"I'm telling you, I absolutely won't allow it!"
Faced with the roar and questioning, the middle-aged man with slicked-back hair actually smiled, then waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Hatoyama, you're too excited."
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those people whose minds are filled with war."
"I am a true pacifist."
"Indeed, land is precious, and no country will give it to us for free."
"Given the current situation, we certainly can't resort to robbery, but we can exchange for goods!"
At this point, he stood up abruptly.
"Everyone, computing power!"
"I believe this is the key to dealing with the apocalypse."
"Actually, the camera has already provided a perfect solution."
"Become a player, save the future, win computing power, conduct scientific research, and achieve the ultimate results!"
"Therefore, computing power will definitely become a strategic resource that far surpasses oil and gold in the future."
"As long as there is sufficient computing power, then everything is not a problem."
"And what we need to do is make full use of this."
"On the one hand, we need to increase computing power; on the other hand, we need to make full use of computing power."
"Once we master computing power and technology, we can negotiate with countries around the world, pay a sufficient price, and acquire a better piece of land!"
At this moment, he appeared incredibly excited, and amidst the remarkably calm gazes of the others, he raised his fist and exclaimed:
"The end of the world is both a challenge and an opportunity!"
"If we seize the opportunity, we will no longer have to live on such an island."
"When the Zerg arrive, and everything depends on strength, countless unclaimed territories will naturally await our reclaim!"
"Gentlemen, aren't you all agitated by this?"
Faced with his almost roaring voice, the conference room fell silent once again.
......
Northern University.
Wang Zhenyi's dormitory room has now been transformed into a "war command post".
Even though the lights were already off, it didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm at all. After all, for male college students, the most important topics for late-night dorm room chats were politics, military affairs, and games.
Now, this live stream has brought together all three topics.
"Brothers."
"How long do you think we can hold out in the next round?"
"Hey, I think we might win right away."
"Impossible, right? The Zerg seem pretty strong."
"Think about it, the previous destruction was because humans were unaware of it. The Americans were completely caught off guard, and the Zerg won by fighting to sustain their war effort."
"Yes, now we know the plot!"
"Not necessarily. Judging from the live stream, our weapons are still not powerful enough."
"Shall we team up next week?"
"Okay, but what should we do? The camera says we can only play ourselves."
In the dark dormitory, students were excitedly discussing the situation, not only from their own dorm but also from other dorms, and there were countless similar cases throughout the entire floor.
Wang Zhenyi lay on the bed, listening to everyone's casual conversation while diverting most of his consciousness to the war space.
I'm also looking forward to the next round of the game.
Emotionally, he genuinely hoped that humanity could defeat the Zerg.
But reason told him that it was absolutely impossible.
So, at this moment, he is creating a game instance in the war space.
Future games will have multiple modes, such as the Earth Online mode, which can be participated in by people all over the world like in the next round, as well as some dungeon modes with limited numbers of participants or only national teams can participate.
A dungeon is a special experience for a small number of people.
Wang Zhenyi hopes that these dungeons will provide inspiration to countries around the world, especially China, to adjust their combat strategies in future Earth Online modes.
As for the materials used in these dungeons, they weren't made up by Wang Zhenyi himself, but rather were wars that actually took place in past timelines.
"The Nellis Air Force Base instance, which is experiencing a swarm outbreak, can be postponed."
"After all, the vast majority of participants were Americans."
"This time..."
Let's do a "New York parachute drop"!
In a past timeline, after the fall of New York, the largest city in the United States, China and Europe organized a rather crazy joint military operation to gather intelligence on the Zerg.
That would be to send strategic transport planes to airdrop troops into New York!
