Octopus has found something strange in the game these days.

When the time acceleration button disappeared earlier, the number of people online changed from double digits to tens of millions. After the test of time, it can basically be confirmed that it was the number of ancient NPCs.

This number has been on a steady upward trend, which has exceeded 15 million some time ago, but in recent days, it has been a downward trend.

It’s not strange to say it’s strange. As for the game, it’s normal for online volume to fluctuate.

However, after looking at other sections of the forum, the octopus found that this fluctuation seemed to be caused by the ancient players' monster invasion script.

If the association is established, will the failure of ancient people to crack alien technology or fail to catch up with the progress of the gamers' AI eventually disappear?

There is little difference between players in the early days. Now octopus often needs to contact some monsters that cannot be found in the forum. There are some tasks that have a high chance of death but must be done. Players with resurrection ability are particularly suitable.

In addition, future OS development will also depend on ancient players, and ordinary NPCs cannot do it due to violations.

Speaking of OS development, after a period of tossing and chasing, the coders and players in the base have already created the first version of the unmanned shuttle.

I can't say it's too bad, it's useless!

Yesterday, the only shuttle machine that completed equipment modification and OS reset during daily defense was not yet flying to the battlefield. I don’t know what bug caused the thruster to lock and flew wildly above the atmosphere.

Finally, the octopus almost left the remote control range of the elevator track station and started the self-destruction program.

It turned out that it didn't explode!

It is speculated that the entire OS was paralyzed at that time, but now the mecha is not sure where it flies.

In this accident, the octopus required that subsequent versions pass a full set of performance data collection and testing in the vehicle laboratory before they could be placed outside.

However, with this efficiency, the unmanned shuttle is not expected in the short term. What should I do if the unmanned version of other models are used?

Should they learn programming?

No, they can program, but they have never been exposed to four-phase languages ​​on the "setting".

Or call the person to ask.

The person in charge of managing the coder players is a team of fifty people. The character in charge of the general manager is called "My Wife Que Nai". Maybe the name is a bit awkward, so gradually they all call him Lao Qi.

My wife Que Nai was called to the command area to meet the octopus.

"Commander, I'm sorry for the accident yesterday. We didn't do a good job of checking the bug."

Like most players, Lao Qi was expressionless when speaking, and could only hear a little emotion from his voice, and there was also an inexplicable background sound.

"I'm not going to hold you accountable. I want to know more about which aspects of programming are the most difficult."

"Oh! The difficulty mainly lies in two aspects. One is that the team's tacit understanding is not enough. Putting the codes of several groups together always create some inexplicable conflicts; the other is that the binary to four-phase language is translated through the converter we wrote, and some syntax, functions and other problems will always occur when compiled in the game."

After hearing this, the octopus nodded and said he knew.

After thinking about it, I took the tablet next to me and started operating it. After working on it for a while, I pushed the tablet in front of Lao Qi.

"You can only slowly get started with the tacit understanding problem. Use this binary translator."

Lao Qi operates the character switching mode to see the content on the tablet clearly.

It's a bit like the software introduction page on the APP market.

The software is called "Ancient Tunnel (Soft)". The following introduces the function. There are two uses of this thing. The fool mode is to directly run ancient programs as an emulator, and the advanced mode can compile ancient software into a four-phase language for further development.

"Ah! This!"

Lao Qi was shocked.

In fact, when the team was formed, they thought about looking for translation help from the game. The reason was very clear, because the game could run on a binary machine and connect to an external network to run other games on the in-game terminal, so it must have its own transcoding capabilities.

The game also comes with software and e-book market, which mainly provides simple tablet games and enriches tablet functions.

But because there are too many things, you can only search for keywords.

Everyone started to use their brains to search for binary, alien, C language, etc., but none of them matched the numbers.

Now the octopus commander pushed a tablet and saw that the name was actually called "Ancient Tunnel". Who would have thought of it? Even if you searched it, you won't click on the introduction page even if you look at it!

When I switched back to the operation mode and looked at the commander who changed his posture, I felt that I was worthy of being the highest rank in the entire game, and I had studied the game thoroughly.

"How is it? Do you think it can be used?"

"Ah, it should...it must be useful."

"That's good, I hope the next version will at least not get out of control."

Behind the screen, the programmer named Luo Shan blushed. He really had to take the blame. As one of the project managers, he didn't care about the quality in order to catch up with the progress.

When my wife Que Nai was sent away, the octopus shook his head.

"Planet Strategy" itself is a virtual platform game equipped with a shuttle module. Ancient tunnels are one of the most important components of modern shuttle modules. Without it, ancient games cannot be run on in-game terminals.

It’s no wonder that ancient players couldn’t find it. Their background logic is that unless they happened to click on it and posted it to the forum, it is hard to think that the “Ancient Tunnel” would be a translator.

Although the number of online players in ancient times was tens of millions of online numbers, the chances of happening were very low. The software market in the game, including built-in mini games, small software, e-books, a large number of external interface programs, especially external interface programs, will also lead to some external content being searched in the game, so that the total number of software is extremely large.

Octopus just didn't think that transcoding was a problem for ancient AI. In short, introducing the required software to them should be better in the future.

After seeing off Lao Qi, the octopus turned its attention back to the third-level vision.

In the past week, this guy has had two attempts to break through the blockade, causing damage to twenty live wires.

The damage is mainly caused by the physical strike of the summoned thorn tentacle. The combination of basic repair and repair beams can be used. The loss is limited after calculation, but the ammunition loss is greater.

But the problem is about to be solved.

All the time and space balls that have been played in daily life in recent days are used to supply the second largest island in the island chain. After the electricity exceeds 1,000, the mine will begin.

The underwater military power is temporarily unable to take into account the patrol and defense of the second largest island and the base island, so the first batch of mines there are concentrated in shallow water areas of nearly 1,000 square kilometers.

There is no mixed or chemical mine in the entire shallow water area. It is so barren that there is no base wreckage with such excellent terrain.

The problem is not particularly big for octopus. The ore returns on the base island are good, so you don’t expect a reverse blood transfusion there.

The first batch of mines were three, namely natural gas wells (poverty), silver, and titanium.

This natural gas well is not a helium well, but it can barely produce helium worth 30 crystals every day, which is equivalent to one-twentieth of the helium well next to the base.

It is mainly used to solve fuel problems to support the deployment of more ammunition trucks on the second largest island, and the self-propelled cannons fly fire. If you still cannot find a chance to kill Level 3 Vision, you may also need to build a short airport to deploy leaping and floating drones.

I won’t introduce silver and titanium anymore. The combination is just a mine with a production capacity of more than 70 years.

The total electricity consumption of three mines exceeds 1,000. In addition to supporting ammunition storage, the output can also provide a little help in the development of island facilities.

However, the expansion and addition of the island facilities are still mainly for Ro-ro ship transportation.

There are not many octopuses, and they transport two batches of four ships a day, with 6,000 mines above. Some of them are used to strengthen the fixed defense power of several major waterways in shallow sea areas. The rest are still the old ones, building expansion, electricity, and production capacity.

Of course, the Octopus hopes to kill Level 3 Vision as soon as possible and turn back to a group of people who are in the fire line to enhance the guards of the island, but that guy doesn't give him a chance, so he's very upset.

The steam shield of Level 3 Vision is too annoying. As it moves, the steam shield will soon become a condensation zone spanning more than ten kilometers. The nuclear bomb that has lost power slows down very quickly in this environment. Only after a few shots can one of them use the opportunity of shock waves and high heat effects to rub the edge of Level 3 Vision.

Nuclear bomb explosion has a high probability of causing the detonation mechanisms of other nuclear bombs to be completely destroyed, and the upper limit of the number of nuclear bombs is limited. Therefore, when Level 3 Vision is more accustomed to using steam shields, the nuclear bomb tactics are almost ruined.

Now there are two more directions to win Level 3 Vision.

First, the unmanned shuttle...it is obviously impossible to catch up now.

The second is to start from space.

After opening the level 9 main technology heavy equipment, a new blueprint was opened and built on the track station, which will immediately give Level 3 Vision a good look.

As for the main technology heavy facilities, the effect is a bit unexpected.

With this technology, most power/production buildings, armored buildings (including turrets and base exterior walls), and a few units can be heavy-duty.

For example, the artificial sun with 10 tanks of 2,000 electricity will become a monster with 20 tanks of 6,000 electricity by heavy duty. Heavy production workshops, etc. can also be heavy duty, not only to increase production capacity, but also to build larger units.

Just do it casually, the facilities in the base are fully heavy-duty, and they are also a project worth hundreds of thousands of mines, so they can only take it slowly in batches.

There are very few units that can be heavy-duty, and cannot be upgraded directly, and they all need to be newly built. Including the Ruby Civilization version, the Mecha Transporter Temple version, the Zhurong Giant version, and the Sky-Sky Valkyri are all special versions of the main military equipment provided by the main technology. There is only one combat unit, Ruby.

Ruby civilization version, the combat weight jumped from just over 70 tons to 130 tons, the size was completely different, the structure was slightly adjusted, and the level was an eighth unit. The firepower value in the production list showed that it was really "civilized", with 600,000 in one minute!

The output of 600,000 per minute is actually only eight shells, or live ammunition! The normal Ruby 30mm electromagnetic cannon has no single damage even 1,000. With the extension of the weapon acceleration zone of the entry "Trail" and the bonus of Monster Technology, it can barely exceed 1,000.

Yes, this is a "upgraded version" redesigned for the tough battle, specially used for surface fortresses. For this reason, it also comes with two sets of shield systems with separate power supplies.
Chapter completed!
