Chapter 125 Bad News
Time flies.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye.
By the time Qin Lang came to his senses, the lively super-test was over. The players had been back in the real world for more than a month.
September 15, 9526, was the day when the cat girl Yan Xiaoyou returned from her examination.
After a period of study, this cat girl has become an excellent mecha engineer. Not only can she deal with the maintenance problems of various mechas, but she is also able to independently manufacture standard mechas.
On the way to pick her up, Qin Lang made a special trip to the e101u space hub and bought her a lot of delicious food.
At that time, the cat lady asked him why he was suddenly so nice to him. Qin Lang just laughed.
In fact, she didn't know that during the half month of her research, the Spark organization had ushered in six star destroyers.
Two Tuna-class ships were built according to the drawings, and four T-class ships were smuggled from the Black Steel Republic. Although they have passed preliminary inspection, whether further modifications can be carried out depends on Yan Xiaoyou's suggestion.
Six star destroyers are a just right number for the e99u galaxy.
There are only five planets in the entire star system, and there is only one living planet, "Emerald V". Six destroyers serve as standing armaments and can complete various tasks with relative strength. Even if an enemy fleet attacks, for such a small star system,
, and can easily ensure the safety of the planet.
With them, Qin Lang has the remaining power to expand outward.
But, to be honest, he doesn't have enough money.
There are 6 billion assets left in the account. 1 billion Galaxy coins will be used as liquidity for Fire, and 5 billion will be reserved for emergencies.
Currently, the entire Fire's source of income is only the Spark Space Station, so he has to tighten his pockets temporarily.
There are many ways to make money, but the only drawback is that these ways to make money are still being paved.
Before the player enters the game, these shops and supply stations on the Emerald Planet are pure expenditures.
Although Zike also mines on several planets in the galaxy, the mines cannot be built instantly.
Affected by the new version of the mechanical monster, Qin Lang stopped letting it go to trade outside for the time being, but focused on the development of this galaxy. This monster is quite powerful. Perhaps it is because of his love for mining that he has taken root on five planets.
Thirteen mining bases were established.
It still costs its own money.
During the more than a month before he went to the Milky Way, Qin Lang didn't pay much attention to Jike's movements. Who knew that this guy really made a fortune.
He led his fleet to dozens of star systems, specializing in digging for various rare metals and expensive materials. Without making a sound, he added more than a billion to his account.
If Qin Lang hadn't threatened him with the bird feathers on his head, Jike would have been reluctant to hand over the money. Qin Lang argued with him for a long time, and finally decided that the money this guy will earn in the future will be divided 30-70 and 30-30 against the organization.
Keep it to yourself and give 70% to the public.
The game version of "Deep Space" was updated to 0.8.0 on the last day of July.
There are no special changes to the specific content, but the player interface has been further improved and a "Legion List" has been added to the list. It is something similar to a "Team" that is common in various online games.
Another notification is that all super-test players have been offline. The next version update is scheduled for New Year's Day, and the new version number is 1.0.0.
What interests Qin Lang is that the update announcement states that in the first few days of the game's public beta, the optical computer will intelligently intercept the status of each novice village and produce images to promote players*.
This is very interesting.
For Qin Lang, this kind of publicity is undoubtedly an opportunity to recruit players to come to his place.
If you remember correctly, these videos will also be uploaded to the player forum. By then, you may also be able to see promotional videos about your own base.
The player forum was already open on the day the super test started.
Different from the sparseness during the super beta, there are obviously a large number of newcomers in the recent forum. Almost all posts are similar to "newcomer reports", "how to play this game" and the like.
Qin Lang made some calculations and found that it should be the day when the official website goes online in the real world.
In my previous life, the promotion of "Deep Space" appeared suddenly and exploded.
There was no news at all on the first day, but the next day it was suddenly overwhelming. You can see "Deep Space" on various web pages, platforms, forums, from domestic to foreign countries, from airplanes to subways, wherever there is advertising space.
》Advertising.
Known as the most powerful, realistic, exciting and diverse large-scale first-person virtual reality game in the world, it has directly carpet-bombed people all over the world.
Players all over the world were blown away.
There was just a movie released a few years ago, a virtual reality game that can be played all over the world, with countless people online, and has sold the highest box office in the world. Now that it has suddenly come out, everyone's appetite has been whetted.
It was then that Qin Lang paid attention to "Deep Space".
Now that I think about it, the first wave of promotional videos released at that time seemed to be a collection of the game history of various super-test players?
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If he could know about super-testing and novice village applications in advance, he might be able to catch the first wave of publicity?
…
The words are divided into two parts.
At the end of September, some not-so-good news came from Nidhogg's official news.
When mechanical monsters first appeared in space, Nidhogg organized the first ship formation of the Third Fleet to go to the depths of space to investigate the cause.
After three months of investigation, the fleet sent a report.
They discovered a special Death Star in the no-man's land on the outskirts of the seventh star sector.
On the Death Star, there was a ruins of an unknown civilization that had been detonated. At the same time, they also found a small base that had been used recently in a hilly area fifty kilometers away from the ruins.
The structure in the base is quite complete, but low-end manufacturing technology is used, and the building structure is quite simple.
What surprised the fleet was that they found the spacecraft manufacturing platform that had been affected and destroyed in the wasteland.
Combined with the small base and the simple vehicles modified from spaceships in the base warehouse, Nidhogg speculated that there was probably someone here who specifically caused the explosion of the planet.
So, what does the explosion of this planet have to do with mechanical monsters?
The reason is that at the center of the explosion, the ruins of an unknown civilization, investigators from the fleet discovered a high-frequency signal transmitting device. After being restarted by special means, the mechanical monsters in the surrounding space sent out a response signal with a consistent structure.
.
Qin Lang broke into a cold sweat when he saw the news.
After all, you can tell with your feet that the Death Star mentioned in the news reports is the garbage dump planet where you woke up when you were reborn! And the so-called unknown civilization ruins are obviously Edith's ruins!
He was very worried that Nidhogg and his group would track him down.
However, at the end, the conclusion given by the fleet was ridiculous.
They saw a cemetery near the base, and a row of uniforms and glass hoods of the Abyss rebels were neatly placed under the tombstones.
So I subconsciously thought that this was a base built by the Abyss Rebels. The ruins of the explosion and these mechanical monsters all over the universe were also the work of the Abyss Rebels.
Seeing the news anchor righteously accusing Abyss of unpardonable crimes, Qin Lang burst out laughing.
【Update Announcement】
Update announcements are a special feature only available to players. Every time the game is updated, an update announcement will be sent to the player panel, as well as a countdown to the next update.
Qin Lang's character template when he was reborn was an NPC template, but because it was out of control and underwent double error judgments by the optical brain and the rules system, he had the authority of both NPC and players.
In other words, he now has the panel with the most complete functions and the most content in the entire game. From the perspective of character identity, he is a player who is not recognized as a player and an NPC that is not controlled by the optical brain. As for why this bug exists,
Chapter completed!
