42: Fully Virtual Online Game

“The significance of flint, I believe everyone here understands better than I do. It is not just a technology, but a key that can unlock a new era.”

“However, history has taught us that a precious key often needs to be accompanied by a sword and shield capable of guarding it.”

“When we use this key to open the door to the future, we must ensure that no force can take it from us.”

Space-based Orbital High-Energy Laser System.

The moment all the researchers in the hall saw this title, someone immediately couldn't sit still.

“Space-based weapon system?”

An expert in the aerospace field whispered in disbelief, his face filled with astonishment.

Technical overview began to scroll on the screen.

“Strike range covers the globe, from target lock to precise strike takes no more than 1.8 seconds.”

“It can effectively intercept ballistic missiles in mid-course and terminal phases, as well as hypersonic vehicles in near-space and within the atmosphere…”

“Is this an anti-missile system?”

The voice of a white-haired old academician trembled slightly.

“1.8 seconds!”

“With a strike range covering the entire globe, this will absolutely revolutionize the rules of modern warfare…”

No. 2 Leader took in everyone's reactions below the stage, chuckled, and spoke slowly again.

“Key and sword-shield, the two are one, indispensable.”

“This is the most glorious and arduous historical mission we are about to shoulder together!”

After No. 2 Leader left, the tense atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, but another emotion, a mix of shock and fanaticism, was silently spreading.

Zhang Haotai, a heavyweight in the aerospace field, found his breathing quickening, his old face almost crumpled together.

Because the project group he led was close to completing the development of a space-based laser weapon system called 'Haoshi,' and had already entered the final assembly and experimental stage.

But compared to the parameters of the Space-based Orbital High-Energy Laser System on the big screen, 'Haoshi' was like a child's toy, completely incomparable.

His worldview had been completely shattered. How could such a weapon appear in this era?

“This laser system is unscientific. How could it possibly be built?” Zhang Haotai finally managed to squeeze out this sentence after a long pause.

Beside him, a doyen in materials science stared at the data on the screen and retorted, “Old Zhang, think about it, before, our materials couldn't keep up.”

“But now, Star Sea has developed carbon nanotube t-4. What's impossible?”

“That's right, plus flint, it's definitely possible to build it,” someone immediately chimed in.

Zhang Haotai realized that now that Longguo had mastered T-4, as long as flint was developed, it was indeed theoretically feasible.

He took deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

“Who on earth developed this black technology?”

“It must be a researcher secretly cultivated by our Longguo.”

A gray-haired physics academician-level big shot gave a wry smile.

“I've worked on fusion my whole life, and flint so easily turned the lifelong efforts of our generation into old antiques in history textbooks.”

For a time, discussions erupted in the hall.

Everyone was guessing who had developed these three great inventions, capable of driving civilization's leap.

They naturally couldn't guess that these black technologies were all truths He Ming obtained from his notebook.

And He Ming himself was not idle at the moment.

Cloud Deer Garden, in the study.

He Ming put down his pen and aimed the camera on his watch at the densely packed program code on the notebook.

“jarvis, scan the data.”

Ten minutes later, the last page of data was scanned and recorded by jarvis.

jarvis's voice came to He Ming's ears.

“Sir, the data has been organized. Do you need to create the program immediately?”

“Create.”

“Virtual Network Battle Platform Construction Program - Executing.”

“Program has been generated.”

“Integrate all data from the Hai Star fleet to create corresponding models, and set the moon as the main battlefield.”

“Data loading… Completed.”

“Based on the data I gave you, infer Blue Star's technological progress five years from now, set an extreme value, and create corresponding models.”

“Data loading… Completed.”

He Ming tapped the desk, deep in thought.

Before Longguo unveiled the Space-based Orbital High-Energy Laser System, flint and carbon nanotube t-4 could not be widely applied worldwide.

The mere advent of flint alone was enough to trigger World War III.

The answer given by the notebook and jarvis's deduction were highly consistent.

Therefore, during this vacuum period, He Ming decided to create a virtual battle game to allow Blue Star's people to adapt to combat against the Hai Star fleet in advance and accumulate sufficient practical experience.

Of course, the main purpose was to screen out reserve pilots capable of operating mechs globally.

This was the only answer given by the notebook: only by developing flexible single-soldier combat power could there be hope of defeating the Hai Star fleet.

After organizing his thoughts, He Ming no longer hesitated.

“jarvis, send the design blueprints for the virtual helmet to Jiang Zhonghua.”

“Tell him to immediately drop everything he's doing and use all the connections Star Sea has. I want to see the first batch of 100,000 virtual helmets on the market within a month.”

star sea knight: enlightenment.

This was the name He Ming gave this simulated battle platform.

Aside from reducing the impact of extreme negative states like death on the user's psyche, in other aspects, especially physical rules, battlefield environment, weapon effectiveness, and enemy behavior patterns, it was a completely realistic virtual world.

In the vast universe, such virtual platforms used for military training, technological verification, and even civilizational exchange are actually very common. Advanced civilizations can even use them to achieve seamless connections between different star systems.

The bad news was that Hai Star also had such a virtual network platform, which meant their combat capabilities would become extremely terrifying.

The good news was that the virtual platform He Ming obtained from his notebook was a significant step up in terms of technology compared to the Hai Star Civilization's virtual platform.

Environmental simulation, physical rules, and all aspects were far superior.
