Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 112

[one hundred and twelve.]

Start immediately?

No, this statement is not accurate. According to the time in the middle of the game, although it has come to the day when the Sino-Japanese naval battle took place in real history, the Chinese and Japanese players have carefully adjusted their progress so that the final battle will be put online. On the weekend with the largest number of people, although the two sides are now at war with each other, they have consciously disengaged from contact.

This is the first thing Lu Zhenyu discovered after entering the game.

As the game has been in operation for more than a year, more and more players are fighting in the game, and mature players automatically play the roles of regulators and controllers.

Chinese players have gone through a lot of wind and waves, and many of them have admitted that the performance of Japanese players in this extremely collective game is far better than that of Chinese players.

There are quite a lot of Japanese players who did not play the Japanese Warring States-themed game “Wind Forest and Volcano” on their own territory, but entered “Rise”, which is open to the world.

No one can say clearly what attracted them, the larger map scene and richer character settings compared to the Warring States period in Japan?

Or the scary figure of up to 4 million people online at the same time?

However, it is these less than 50,000 Japanese players that have repeatedly caused the Chinese players, who are dozens of times their number, to swallow the bitter fruit from the very beginning of the game.

At the beginning, the harassment war in the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River dragged hundreds of thousands of Chinese players there, which indirectly led to the scene of the two Opium Wars. The overall strategy of the West ultimately failed.

The situation of breaking the historical barriers has not yet occurred…

On the contrary, the performance of Chinese players has not been very good all the time.

Most people do have a great time playing the game, and those who take the combat route and the non-combat route are also excited by the richness of the game.

However, as a whole, the performance of Chinese players is lackluster.

Although some senior players have always tried to organize a player structure that can coordinate and develop healthily from business, technology to military force, but due to various reasons, they have never been able to succeed.

The biggest problem is that there are too many people and too many ideas, and the personal interests involved make unity an impossible task.

In the two Opium Wars, the main forces of the Chinese side were divided into several factions. Some advocated active resistance and continuous fortification, some advocated lure the enemy to go deep into guerrilla warfare, and some advocated gathering players from all over the world to fight in one go. Quite a few, even in this game based on patriotism, there are still capitulation factions who are wise and protect themselves, regardless of the personal level… When no one can convince anyone, everyone fights their own way. There have even been many encounters between the troops belonging to the two factions, and it took a long time to find out that it was their own.

Players like this, coupled with various turbulent currents that conform to historical facts, have become an extravagant hope to break the historical barriers.

In the historical scene of the Sino-Japanese naval battle, due to the experience of players who have broken historical barriers in the closed test, plus a year of running-in, domestic players have formed several large factions, and finally they have come up with a set that looks good. It’s a reasonable plan.

Except for a few NPCs that cannot be changed, the Beiyang Marines are now all mid-level and high-level players playing roles ranging from the second mate of an ironclad ship to a small sailor at the dock. The average level can be said to be frighteningly high.

Due to the concentration of players, it is also possible to take favorable measures by themselves regardless of the orders issued by the NPC when necessary.

Most of these mid-to-high-level players are the original team who have entered the Beiyang Navy in the closed test. The new players are also screened by these old players, and they must be skilled.

Since many players held relatively high positions in the Qing government, the

current Beiyang navy is more than one point stronger than the Beiyang navy in real history in terms of logistical supplies and armaments.

In terms of strategy, in order to gain the upper hand, the elite troops among the Chinese players have already sent troops to North Korea to fight against the mixed army of Japanese players and NPCs with a strong force of 550,000 people. Every day, there are large and small battles, at least So far, China still maintains the advantage.

However, these powerful troops are rebellious in the view of the Qing government as a side of the NPC, and the Qing court’s expeditionary forces actually played the role of Qing rebels.

If it weren’t for the battle between the Qing army and the Japanese army, perhaps this force composed entirely of players would have already achieved greater results.

In this atmosphere where everyone feels that this is the most likely chance to break the historical barrier points, and this is the most likely chance to be shamed in the game, time is slowly moving towards the weekend.

Since “Rise” has been running for more than a year, this game, which has poured into the digital totem game group and various marketing and marketing departments, has been affecting everyone’s hearts.

Although the employees of Digital Totem cannot enter the game because of the principle of game fairness, they can still understand what is happening in the game through various channels.

The online game team even set up a special room for colleagues from other departments to come to guest GM to learn about the events in the game.

Most of the employees in the company are still optimistic about the Sino-Japanese naval battle in this game.

For the people involved in the production of “Rise,” they will have deeper thinking.

Because they understand the game better than others, the meaning of the victory and defeat, and the consequences of the division between victory and defeat.

Because they see farther than others, but they can’t tell others what they know. During this time, the members of the online game group seemed a bit bleak and deep.

When this weekend came, for the first time, many employees in the headquarters did not leave work, but returned to the company after a hurried dinner in a nearby restaurant, not for overtime, for work, but for the Those who are restricted and unable to enter the game in person, watch the entire battle process as a bystander.

Although the foreshadowing of the entire war is so long, as long as the fleets of both sides catch fire, it may take more than an hour to decide the outcome.

After all, everyone is just a player, and everyone does not care about death, but to express their determination in some way.

In order to allow everyone to see the whole picture of the entire battlefield, to see the entire process of the war.

The game department sent more than 40 GMs this time, and they will shoot with virtual cameras from all angles.

And beside them are the elites carefully selected from the entire visual art department. They will be responsible for selecting appropriate shots from the numerous and complicated pictures, and recording the most impactful side of the entire war, not only It is for the appreciation of colleagues in the company and for leaving precious records.

All major events in the game were recorded by them in this way. Most of these records were edited more finely and made into UMD movies, which were widely circulated in the circle of players and non-players.

This medium invented by Sony has become an important channel for digital totem output culture.

In addition to the digital totem company, at this time, players all over the country and even the world are paying attention to this Sino-Japanese naval battle in the game.

Various portal websites and professional game sites have dispatched war reporters to broadcast live broadcasts to players who cannot participate in the war and ordinary netizens who have not entered the game.

This battle will be the largest war in the history of online games. From soldiers on the front line to logistics support, technology research and development, strategy and command departments, etc., the total number of players and NPCs involved has reached 1.2 million , I believe this record will not be broken for a long time to come.

Compared with the “Sacred Chronicle” operating in Europe, the scale of the Sino-Japanese naval battle is a miracle.

In the eager anticipation of everyone, the fleets of the two sides finally met at more than 8 o’clock in the evening.

Since both sides knew each other’s identities well, and because everyone had waited for this moment for too long, without any semaphore greetings or threats to each other, everyone started their naval guns just as they entered the longest range of each other. hit each other.

Everyone’s ships were ordered from Britain, France and Germany, and the development of science and technology is similar. The fleet size of the two sides is not too far apart. This will be an evenly matched naval battle.

Wonderful?

No, not likely.

To what extent can the tactics of the fleet be mastered by these untrained players?

Although there are officers and soldiers who have retired from the navy on both sides, they still have some understanding of naval battles, but how well can they understand their correct tactics in the hands of players who are not familiar with naval battles?

Compared with the defeat of the Japanese fleet in the closed test, those old players clearly felt that this time, the other party’s fleet with a large number of players also participated in it was much stronger than the NPC fleet that was confronted at that time.

The accuracy and density of the shelling were good.

This may be the difference between players who can level up and NPCs who can’t level themselves.

Historically, the defeat of the Yellow Sea naval battle was largely attributed to the mistakes in the formation adopted by the Beiyang Naval Division during the engagement, and in the naval battle in this game, the Japanese fleet still adopted a column formation.

The Beiyang Navy’s ships, under the unified coordination of the players, adopted a double-column formation.

As a result of the choices of the two sides, the fleet quickly entered a very untechnical fighting method of rowing naval guns.

The first turning point in the battle was when the Beiyang Navy sank the Japanese “Naniwa” in the sixth salvo.

A hole was struck in the Japanese column formation.

The Beiyang Navy immediately attacked with light cruisers and torpedo boats in an attempt to divide the Japanese fleet.

Both sides began to have lighter ships losing combat effectiveness one after another.

The battle between players and players, regardless of life and death, is extremely tragic. Ships that lose their combat effectiveness, have their gun positions destroyed, or begin to show signs of sinking into water, none of them retreat to a safe area, but directly turn the ship itself into a weapon. Conduct suicide attacks.

This is the same whether it is the Japanese fleet, which has a tradition of suicide attacks, or the Chinese fleet, which has long waited for this day to kill red eyes.

Death, for these people, is almost a feast.

While the melee was still going on, the most astonishing events took place on the Korean battlefield.

5000 Japanese senior players successfully raided the Qing army camp, and the Qing army retreated 100 kilometers.

The supply line of the army of Chinese players fighting on the Korean battlefield was also cut off at the same time. Although the number of troops was much larger than that of the Japanese army, the army of Chinese players was in danger of being encircled.

If it were in reality, none of this would happen that fast, or, if it did, the news wouldn’t spread that fast.

After all, there were not many developed means of communication at that time.

However, this is in the game, the map and time are proportional rather than the actual size, 100 kilometers of retreat, hundreds of kilometers of raids are no longer impossible.

And no matter good news or bad news, it will reach the ears of all players as soon as possible.

After hearing the news, the Beiyang Fleet, who was a little excited, was escaped from the encirclement by the Japanese fleet in that brief chaos, and re-formed a column.

What’s more serious is that the main ship Zhenyuan of the Beiyang Fleet was hit and sank by the Japanese cruiser Akitsuzu…

After the Beiyang Fleet was cut off with 4 lighter tonnage ships under the efforts and coordination of extremely experienced players, UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com Slowly back up to regroup.

And those four ships were instantly hit by countless shells, and they sank without even room for a suicide attack.

The ferocity of the battle was far beyond everyone’s imagination. So far, the entire naval battle has lasted for nearly 2 hours, but who has the upper hand on both sides is really a question.

Undoubtedly, this is the most united and best performance, the highest morale, and the least emotional impact of Chinese players who have always been famous for their scattered sand since the beginning of the test in “Rise”.

Everyone is willing to sacrifice for the victory of this war, whether it is a worthless name in the game, or a little excessive self that they have never given up in any game in the past.

It is these sacrifices and giving up. At least, now the Beiyang Navy has become more agile and sharp after suffering the sinking of one of the main battleships, Zhenyuan.

Just when the two sides who had reorganized the formation began to slowly advance, and were about to start another round of fierce battle, the third turning point of this war came quietly.

I don’t know which player was looking at the sea level where the sky and the water meet, and found a mysterious shadow. The shadow was slowly raised and turned into towering masts.

A fleet that has never appeared in history. At this critical time, a key location appeared…
