Chapter 347 The minefield you dare not touch
All in all, everyone said they were a little confused about the policies introduced for this game this time.
Because these policies are too harsh, I gave you a chance to make corrections in the past, but I will not give you any chance to improve this game.
And the most bizarre thing is that this matter is not only implemented in one place, but is implemented simultaneously all over the world, and some local policies are even much stricter than here.
And everyone has understood one thing through this period of experience, that is, this game is an absolute minefield.
As long as you dare to touch this minefield, the punishment for you will be very severe.
Some places even treat you to peanuts directly.
Through this incident, everyone can see clearly what kind of status this game will have in the entire world in the future.
Are these policies reasonable? At least for ordinary people, it is a bit too harsh, but for those people, it is not harsh at all and they even think these policies are too gentle.
Because they never dared to be careless about this matter, nor did they dare to muddle along like before.
Like before, they might have allowed these things to develop. After all, they knew very well how difficult it was for ordinary people.
Working from 9 to 5 every day, the work of 996 itself is very suppressed. If they are not allowed to vent on the Internet, then sooner or later something will happen if they are suppressed for a long time.
So it's not that they don't care about many things, it's that they know they can't care about it, but it's different now. This game is directly related to whether their civilization can continue.
If Jiang Yao really gets upset and opens a dungeon on their planet, something will happen.
So they don't dare to continue to let those stupid young people cause trouble. Of course, it doesn't matter if you make trouble on a small scale, but this matter must not get too big.
Once this matter becomes fermented, then you will be asking for blessings.
The punishment for you will definitely not be small. After all, you are dancing on the tip of a knife with the safety of the entire civilization. If they don't kill you directly, they will be considered merciful.
And during this period of time, they have been constantly testing Jiang Yao's bottom line, and then using various channels to understand Jiang Yao's attitude towards other civilizations.
Of course, the way they learned about it was also very simple. They opened a separate TV channel for gamers.
The channel mainly invites players in the game to conduct interviews. On the surface, it allows these players to provide everyone with game development ideas.
In fact, they wanted to use this program to understand clearly what the players had done under Jiang Yao's command during this period.
They wanted to understand under what circumstances Jiang Yao would instruct these players to attack others.
And when their plan started to be implemented, something interesting happened. The players talked about it on the show with all kinds of excitement, and they felt chills down their spines when they heard it.
First, they learned through the players that the universe contains a large amount of energy ores.
These energy ores are the objects of competition for various civilizations.
To put it simply, the war between civilizations on the planet is about fighting for money, while the war between civilizations in the universe is about fighting for ores.
Whoever has more ores and who has a higher utilization rate of ores will have a greater advantage if there is not much difference in strength.
From the players' mouths, they learned about the powerful alien race in the universe, and also learned about the cockroaches who did not understand the ore and became a mining tool for other civilizations.
I also heard the experience of binary star civilizations fighting each other for survival for countless centuries, and also witnessed the entire process of the powerful star ring civilization from prosperity to desolation.
After they learned about these things, their fear of Jiang Yao became even deeper.
In their understanding, to start a war, you must be forced to have no other choice, and the conflict between the two parties has reached an unadjustable state.
And what about Jiang Yao?
His reason for starting the war was simple and crude.
I met you, so I want to kill you.
What an unpretentious reason.
Although most of them instinctively define Jiang Yao as evil at this moment, what they don't know is that in this universe, this is the most essential way of survival.
The reason why they cannot understand this way of living is like a newborn baby who cannot understand why his parents have to go out to work every day.
Blue Star is too small for the entire universe. Now they are like ignorant babies, so they do not understand the cruelty of this universe.
There are many civilizations similar to theirs in the universe, and these civilizations entered the universe with the same naive ideas and were destroyed.
Because the enemy will not be kind to you just because you have just arrived.
They will teach you a lesson about the cruelty of the universe, and the tuition for this lesson is the destruction of civilization.
Therefore, if a civilization wants to set foot in the universe and develop to a certain extent, it needs cognitive changes and luck.
If there's one thing missing, there's a high chance that someone will set up a monument for you after you step into the universe.
Although Blue Star does not understand the cruelty of the universe now, they now know Jiang Yao's cruelty very well, so they have been handling this matter very carefully.
And because of their active cooperation, Jiang Yao's layout in Blue Star was also carried out very quickly.
At present, Jiang Yao has 250,000 players, and the number of people entering the game in Blue Star has exceeded 10 billion. For this, Jiang Yao specially transformed the five areas of the star ring into Blue Star's appearance.
All areas have been restored one-to-one with reality.
Of course, the purpose of his doing this is also to make it easier to manage Blue Star in the future.
In this way, everything was progressing steadily with the efforts of all parties. After everything was on track, half a year had passed, and during this six months, Jiang Yao also successfully hatched twelve thunder beasts.
As for the ore in the meteorite belt, it has almost been mined.
Because now it is not only players who mine ores, but also black insects and ordinary people who enter the game.
After these ordinary people entered the game, some of them chose to learn how to drive a mining ship.
After several months of study, some of them were able to barely control the mining ship, so Jiang Yao asked them to go out to mine with the civilized people of Star Ring.
The images these people enter into the game are clones of their real-life images.
So there is not much difference between the two realities in the game. Of course, the only difference is that the world in the game is much grander. It was also because of the arrival of these people that Jiang Yao also began to intentionally cultivate the business competition between Starlink Civilization and Blue Star.
All in all, the entire Halo and Blue Star are now on the right track.
And when they were on the right track, Jiang Yao knew very well that he would start planning for the next step.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to officially announce the information about the new arms.
Jiang Yao originally planned to announce these two arms a long time ago, but due to a series of recent events, the announcement period was delayed.
But it’s not too late to announce it now. After all, after all aspects have stabilized, players’ desire to buy these new arms has become even stronger. The main reason is because the people behind them are adding fuel to the fire.
Because of a series of reforms, players are no longer simply the same as before. There are various special organizations behind them.
The purpose of establishing these organizations is mainly to advise players, carry out various military unit planning, etc.
They analyzed Jiang Yao's previous arms and the evolution of the arms, and sorted out the advantages and disadvantages of each arm and the lineup. Compared with the previous up masters in the strategy area, they were more professional and detailed.
They also conducted in-depth research on new arms.
All in all, compared to personal strategies, their strategies will be more comprehensive. After all, they are also part of an official organization.
So when Jiang Yao announced the information about the two new arms, they immediately listed the characteristics of these arms, their positioning in battle, and the matching lineups for players to choose.
With the help of these people, players will have clearer plans for choosing and purchasing troops.
Of course, when players purchase units, they will not provide any financial help, because they know very well that providing this help for a long time will make players dependent.
The consequence of doing this is that Jiang Yao will most likely be dissatisfied with the players' future combat capabilities. In order to avoid this kind of thing happening, they are still more cautious in all aspects.
But this time inside the star ring.
Jiang Yao is studying the situation of the insect nest.
This time the insect tide has evolved to the sixth stage. Not only has its own strength been greatly improved, but it has also unlocked a new ability.
Space jumping ability.
Of course, this kind of space jump is not a random position. This kind of space jump still needs guidance, so the insect nest now has a special ability, which is to generate a special kind of guide insect.
This kind of bug can form an induced force field in the area by self-destructing, and with this induced force field, the insect nest can connect with it and perform long-distance space jumps.
So when the insect nest unlocked this function, Jiang Yao immediately spread hundreds of millions of these induced insects into the universe.
Anyway, the cost of this kind of inducer is relatively cheap, and if you want to increase the distance, they also need to carry out a long interstellar voyage, so they need to be prepared in advance.
After solving the problem of inducing insects, Jiang Yao began to study other changes in the insect nest. If the previous insect nest was described as a small snake, Jiang Yao's current insect nest can be called a giant python.
The current insect nest is at least three times longer than the previous insect nest, and the diameter has also increased by almost the same amount.
Although the current insect nest looks extremely large, it still looks very small inside the star ring.
The cost of this evolution of the insect nest is also very expensive, consuming a total of 100 million energy phagocytosis and 10 billion evolution points.
And most importantly, it consumed half a million of his energy-devouring crystals.
The above two resources are not stressful for him. After all, it is relatively easy to obtain these basic resources, just like his current situation.
It is enough to solve the basic resources required by a star-ring civilization by himself. The most difficult thing for him is this energy-devouring crystal.
He has always been in short supply of the energy-devouring crystal resource. He had just traveled through time in order to give the insect nest basic interstellar navigation capabilities.
At that time, he tried his best to collect thousands of energy-devouring crystals that could barely evolve the insect nest.
From then on, he was always in a state of scarcity for this resource. Later, it improved because he attacked the Taylor civilization. There was a starry beast on their side that allowed him to get more than 1.6 million energy-devouring crystals.
However, the two evolutions of the insect nest consumed a total of 600,000 crystals, plus the previous creation of the Cyclops and the fourth-level cockroach also consumed part of it.
The next step is to produce the Thunder Beast. To create a Thunder Beast with the ability to evolve, more than 30,000 energy-devouring crystals need to be consumed.
This is not a small amount. He made a preliminary estimate and found that if he invested all the energy-devouring crystals in his hand, he could only produce about thirty pieces at most.
After investing in it, his energy-devouring crystals were basically consumed, so if he wanted to continue to advance in his insect nest, he would need to find ways to get more energy-devouring crystals.
Although now he has found the starry sky beast again, he also knows very well that this is just a starry sky beast in his youth.
There were not many energy-devouring crystals produced by this starry sky behemoth. He estimated that the crystals produced after killing one of them might not be enough for the next stage of evolution of his insect nest.
If he wanted the insect nest to evolve to the next stage safely, he would need to find another one.
This also made Jiang Yao worried to death. After all, this starry sky beast was not just a cat or a dog. First of all, it was rare in number and secondly, it was very powerful.
It’s not that difficult to find a suitable one.
In fact, Jiang Yao, who now owns the star ring, is not very dependent on the insect nest. After all, this star ring can meet all his needs.
Although it looks like this on the surface, Jiang Yao actually knows very well that for him, the star ring is just an auxiliary item.
Although its intensity is relatively high now, its upper limit is only this, and it cannot be raised much higher.
The insect nest is different. The strength of the insect nest will undergo earth-shaking changes at each stage of evolution.
According to Jiang Yao's estimation, if you wait until your insect nest evolves to the tenth stage, then the strength of the insect nest will definitely not be worse than the civilization flagships of those advanced civilizations.
Therefore, Jiang Yao still wants to build a high-ceiling insect nest rather than a star ring with a lower limit.
When his insect nest becomes strong enough in the future, he will be able to fight against the enemy's civilization flagship team.
Otherwise, just relying on the star ring to collide with the civilization flagship of the advanced civilization is purely to deliver meat.
Although Jiang Yao didn't know much about this civilization's flagship, he knew that the strength of this warship was so incredible that even the insect swarm in its heyday was very afraid.
