Chapter 34 Start-up Capital
One hour later.
White light flashed one after another, and 52 figures logged in at the resurrection point of Dizhong Village.
The first time they entered the game, Yang Tianxuan and other members of the weapons research and development department were shocked by the scene in front of them. It was hard to believe that this was actually a game world.
As a matter of profession, they immediately started testing the realism of the world.
Gravity perception test, throwing stones to observe the parabola trajectory, smell test, body coordination test... When other players looked at fools, they were completely impressed by the realism of this game.
"Boss, the Lunar Eclipse clan's technology has made great progress, and they can actually create such a realistic game world." The white-haired old man standing next to Yang Tianxuan exclaimed.
Yang Tianxuan did not respond after hearing these words, and the shock in his heart could not be described in words.
He has had the idea of testing weapon performance in virtual scenes for a long time.
He once conducted weapon testing in the virtual game "Sinful Land" released by the Eclipse clan five years ago.
But the effect was unsatisfactory and I finally gave up.
In fact, it is even more difficult to create a game that perfectly replicates the physical performance of reality.
He carefully analyzed a series of problems that needed to be overcome.
Not to mention the terrifying server capacity required for this game, the standards in other aspects must be absolutely perfect, such as interaction frequency, data processing volume, and even image rendering quality.
Secondly, the virtual world needs to simulate all physical phenomena of the real world, including but not limited to gravity, lighting, materials, sounds, etc. This requires computing power beyond cognition to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the physics engine.
In order to achieve perfect realism, every detail in the virtual world must be carefully simulated, including buildings, vegetation, terrain, weather changes, etc. These details will greatly increase the burden on the data processing center.
Secondly, the huge data generated in the game anytime and anywhere needs to be processed and fed back in a very short time, including information generated by player input.
For example, if a player destroys the environment in the game, the information needs to be changed in real time after being collected.
Taking into account various variables, creating a completely real game is almost impossible in Yang Tianxuan's vision, because it is equivalent to creating a brand new world, and the amount of resources that needs to be consumed must also be 1:1.
In other words, creating a game that perfectly simulates the earth theoretically requires consuming the resources of an earth.
But everything in front of me cannot be false. The Lunar Eclipse clan really used some unknown technology to create such a perfect virtual game that can't find any flaws.
While lamenting the huge technological gap between the Human Federation and the Lunar Eclipse Clan, Yang Tianxuan felt a fire rising in his heart.
With the help of such a real virtual environment, they can fully exert themselves without worrying about environmental damage, personal safety, and a series of troublesome issues.
"Boss, I checked the mall. There is no equipment for sale in this game that can support us in developing weapons. Everything has to start from scratch... However, there are spiritual stones for sale in the mall. Maybe we can make a batch of psychic firearms first."
Yang Tianxuan heard this and nodded in agreement.
Manufacturing powerful technological weapons requires solving a series of problems such as forging equipment, processing equipment, measurement and calibration tools, etc. Starting from scratch requires a tedious process from scratch.
At this stage, they don’t have enough resources and they can’t get started.
But psychic firearms are different. This is one of the early weapon technologies provided to humans by the Eclipse tribe.
Weapons can be forged by changing the energy path of the spiritual minerals, then inlaid with spiritual stones to act as bullet drivers, and with spiritual energy compression formations engraved inside.
After the trigger is pulled, the firearm will automatically absorb the energy of the spiritual stone and compress it into a bullet shape internally, and then launch it with the push of the internal spiritual energy. After contacting the target, the unstable psychic bullet will explode instantly, causing a range of explosion damage.
In the early stage of land reclamation, this technology is obviously more practical.
"Then make a batch of psychic firearms first." Yang Tianxuan confirmed his subordinate's proposal at this time. At this moment, a middle-aged man with unshaven beard in the team said doubtfully:
"Director, the problem is that all items in the mall require sacrifice to purchase. I searched all over the game's function panel and couldn't find a recharge function. Where do we get the startup capital to buy materials to make psychic firearms."

Yang Tianxuan:......
Faced with the problem of no start-up capital, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.
"Have you contacted Qin Ye? He entered the game one step ahead of us. Ask him how much of his sacrificial power we can borrow."
"I just added a friend, so let me ask." A middle-aged man in the team, about 30 years old, finished speaking and called up the friend list to try to connect to Qin Ye.
Not long after, the middle-aged man looked at Yang Tianxuan and said slightly embarrassed:
"He only has 239 sacrificial points, which is not enough for us to use as starting funds."
"Then let's purchase sacrificial power from other players first. We'll raise the cost ourselves for the time being, so we won't submit a funding application."
With the idea in mind, they immediately started taking action, and dozens of messages about purchasing sacrificial power appeared on the regional channel, with the acquisition ratio being 1:20.
However, these messages were quickly submerged by those posted by other players, and there were also several ridiculing messages from players, thinking that they were just thinking about eating shit, and there was no difference between the price they gave and the price they offered.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This made Yang Tianxuan and other members of the weapons research and development department realize that the purchase price they gave was too low.
They chose to gradually raise prices.
From 20:1, the purchase price gradually climbed to 100:1, but still no player was willing to sell their sacrifice power to them.
This made Yang Tianxuan completely confused.
Feeling something was wrong, he immediately contacted Qin Ye, who had entered the game earlier.
The answer surprised him.
The price of sacrifice power in the game has already risen from 50:1 to 150:1, and not many players are willing to sell their sacrifice power.
There are two main reasons.
First of all, the consumption rate of sacrificial power is much faster than the production speed. The sacrificial power in the hands of players is not enough to increase their own strength, let alone sell it.
Secondly, the price of sacrificial power has been growing, and players generally believe that the price of sacrificial power will continue to rise.
The idea of many brick-and-mortar players is to first consume sacrificial power to increase their strength, and then earn more sacrificial power when they are stronger. Selling sacrificial power in the early stage will cause their own strength to be unable to keep up with the growth rate of other players, which will lead to problems in the later stage. Income has shrunk significantly.
After understanding the reason from Qin Ye, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.
If they continue to increase the purchase price, their wages cannot bear such consumption, and the process of applying for funds is too cumbersome and requires time.
With no way to recharge and no way to purchase sacrificial power at a reasonable price, Yang Tianxuan had no choice but to connect to Qin Ye via voice again:
"Ono, is there any way to quickly earn sacrificial power?"
"At this stage, there are three ways to earn sacrificial power. The first is to leave the Imperial Tomb Village and hunt various types of monsters outside. The second is to be lucky enough to encounter mineable spiritual plants while exploring the world. Compared with the first two methods, I recommend you the third method.”
"What method?" Yang Tianxuan asked immediately.
"Go to the Dark Cave to mine!"
