Meng Lichuan's brain is in a mess.

She knows the impact of this summit.

Before the start of the war, the team leader and even some senior members of the dark moon foundation solemnly explained to them that the success or failure of this strategic exercise will not only influence the reaction of public opinion, but also affect the voting results of the parliament.

The future of countless people is in their hands.

That's why Meng Lichuan is so desperate. She doesn't hesitate to burn her brain. She has to squeeze out the ultimate computing power to complete her mission.

In the middle of the war, the result of browsing the forum is also true. Public opinion surveys are closely related to the progress of the war.

When the "moon demon team" has a slight advantage, more people support sending troops. When the "blood shadow team" gradually forms an overwhelming victory, more people oppose sending troops.

Now, the defeat of the moon demon team represents the total annihilation of the federal expeditionary army. Shouldn't the result of the public opinion survey plummet? How can it be that more and more people support sending troops, showing a one-sided trend?

"What on earth happened?"

Meng Lichuan asked foolishly, "sister peach, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"

"I didn't say it wrong, and you didn't hear it wrong. The result is really unexpected. I'm still in a daze, and I don't know the name of it."

Jiang Baitao said with a smile, "however, the result of the poll is obviously not like this for no reason. During the three days when you were in a coma, no, since the summit duel just started five days ago, a lot of things have happened. Let me explain them to you one by one.

"First of all, there is a little game on the forum."

"Little game..."

Meng Lichuan frowned, "what do you mean?"

"You know, the summit duel between the moon demons and the blood shadow has been strongly supported by the government, and has even become a tool for the government to explain the situation and policies to the people. All major sects in the Federation, including the dark moon foundation, the military and the Yaoshi group, have set up propaganda machines to let almost all the people in the Federation know and participate in it, Tens of billions of people watched the game online at the same time, setting the most exaggerated record in the history of civilization. It became the focus of attention and broke through the sky.

"It can be said that every federate knows about it, and in the past few days, even if they don't watch the live broadcast, they will pay attention to it through forums and news."

Jiang Baitao said, "however, to be fair, the expansion of" glorious expedition "is too professional. It's more boring and complex than the military's wargame deduction and simulation sand table. It's all data, information and icons. It takes a long time. It's not enough to fight a battle in three or five days.

"Ordinary people can't understand what we're doing, let alone spend a few days and nights on such boring things. In order to attract attention, relieve people's fatigue, and enhance their participation, the organizer, the dark moon foundation behind us, has launched a small game with the production team of civilization game.

"No, I learned later that this" little game "is not small at all. It can be regarded as a sister chapter of the glorious expedition, called" invasion of darkness. "

"The invasion of darkness?"

Meng Lichuan murmured, "new expansion?"

"Yes, the target group of" brilliant expedition "is professional players, practitioners and military personnel with excellent computing power. Because of the level of confidentiality, ordinary players simply can't access the key data -" dark attack "is much more approachable. Its target group is tens of thousands of ordinary users. It doesn't have too complicated calculation and operation, The acousto-optic effect is also delicate and real, which makes people feel immersive in the dark. "

Jiang Baitao brought out the introduction of the "dark expedition" of the "glorious expedition" from the portable brain, showing the characteristics of the game to Meng Lichuan, and then said, "the quality of the game itself is excellent, playing the gimmick of the" glorious expedition "sisters, and taking advantage of the Federalist's attention to our summit. In the relevant forums and live channels, big ads were launched, and even directly pushed to users' eyes. Sure enough, once launched, it attracted countless eyeballs within a few hours, becoming the most popular expansion film on the platform of "civilization" that day.

"The audience originally came to see our summit duel, but they couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time. When they were impatient, they were suddenly pushed by the government with such a" sister story ". Anyway, they were idle. Let's have a try, don't you think?"

Meng Lichuan seriously thought about it, nodded and said: "yes, if it were me, I would definitely try two games with such a gimmick. Then, what does this little game really say? How can it be related to the results of the poll?"

Jiang Baitao smiles and points out the detailed introduction of "dark invasion".

Meng Lichuan was immediately attracted by the scenes of corpses in the wild and blood flowing, and even scared.

"Since it is the sister chapter of the glorious expedition, there is a certain internal connection. The setting background of the" dark invasion "is the story before and after the failure of the" glorious expedition ", the victor in the center of the star sea integrated the resources of hundreds of rich worlds, invaded the Federation on a large scale, and wiped out the Federation completely."

Jiang Baitao said, "although it's a small game, it has a high degree of freedom and authenticity. You can choose to become an ordinary soldier of the federal army. Facing the overwhelming, dense and starry enemies, you can fight until you run out of ammunition and food and your blood runs dry; He can also play a helpless federal civilian, trying to keep his family in the post-war purgatory; You can also act as the captain of a civilian transport ship, with tens of thousands of people and limited supplies, rushing to the colder and barren depths of the sea of stars.

"And the most interesting part of the story, which is the name of this little game, is that in" dark invasion ", you can play the manager of a refuge. In order to avoid the fierce enemy in the central star sea, you and your people have been hiding in the underground refuge for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years. With the passage of tens of thousands of years, under the pressure of extremely harsh environment, Your humanity is constantly peeling off, your emotions are gradually distorted, and even your appearance is distorted beyond recognition. You are like lizards and poisonous snakes, enduring the endless invasion of darkness. "

Jiang Baitao said, opened a video advertisement of the little game "dark invasion".

Advertising is not long, but very luxurious with a full ten seconds of darkness and silence to attract attention.

When Meng Lichuan doubts whether the video is stuck, a sharp and sharp scream suddenly comes from the dark. Then, a monster, which looks like a human, a ghost, and is wrapped in a black shell, pounces out of the dark. Under the contrast of the three-dimensional special effects, it almost pours on Meng Lichuan's face.

"Ah

Meng Lichuan was startled, and her heart beat faster. "Sister peach!"

"Ha, it's a surprise. When I played it for the first time, it was also a surprise - basically, when this game was made, it seemed that it was intended to scare you, annoy you, make you extremely depressed and desperate."

Jiang Baitao said, "no matter what role you choose and what plot line you follow, it will be a dead end.

"If you choose to be a member of the federal army, or even the commander of the federal army, or an omnipotent cultivator, what's the use? In the face of millions of star warships attacking, which have integrated all the resources of the Central Committee of Xinghai, even if you are given dozens or 100 giant soldiers, it's a complete crush!

"The common people, not to mention, will not let go of even one of them, no matter whether the enemy is a saint or an immortal. Although the Federation is big, where can we escape? As a result, it is not a man-made butcher who will cut the enemy to pieces for us?

"To escape to the depths of the sea of stars, ha, we are already at the end of the sea of stars. To escape further, it is impossible to find any resources. The scale of a small star ship or two is not enough to support the effective operation of a society. In the end, it is the tragedy of human killing and cannibalism. Are there few such examples in the flying star world in the past?

"To escape to the refuge in the heart of the earth, not to come out for hundreds of years, thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years? It's true that both the Holy Alliance and the Empire pay attention to the rate of return on resources. It's really not worth turning over the whole crust for the sake of just a few hundred civilians - but the end of doing so is the theme of this expansion film, "invasion of darkness". The invasion of darkness is not only the human body, but also our most precious emotions and hearts. After tens of thousands of years, When our descendants come out of the darkness again, will anyone admit that they are real human beings? "

"This..."

Meng Lichuan watched the video of "dark invasion" uploaded by countless players, especially the ending full of pain, terror and despair. The more she looked at it, the colder she felt, the more she trembled. She whispered, "this is not like a general game."

"It's not like a game. It's like a history that has happened countless times, and a future that is inevitable."

The smile on Jiang Baitao's face is disappearing, replaced by a layer of light haze. Her eyes are filled with black mist. Behind the mist may be reluctance or fear. "If we don't send troops, or if we lose, this is the end we, all our relatives and the whole civilization have to face."

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of "dark invasion" videos poured into Meng Lichuan's mind, turned into waves, bombarded her fragile belief, and made her subconsciously say, "it's impossible!"

"Why not?"

Jiang Baitao spread out his hand and said, "do you think that after the holy alliance has swallowed up the Empire, it is impossible to continue to advance towards the Federation, or do you think that all the resources of the Holy Alliance and the Empire are not enough to crush the Federation?

"Please, even now, the power of the Federation and empire may not be able to defeat the holy alliance, let alone the time when it is twice the holy alliance to destroy a small isolated Federation!"
