Chapter 133: Chapter 116 Zhao Ming: You Really Think I Used a Photonic Supercomputer to Do This? (3.1k)

Looking at the battlefield on the real-time map, it’s not just Mo Xiaomo who has become curious about the upcoming developments.

Many netizens are analyzing it online, and numerous military experts are reluctantly stepping in, treating it as a real war.

Analyzing what the Axis Powers will do next?

Why does the Empire choose to open a new battlefield at this time?

Because, from the division of the colored regions of powers.

The United States of America, as a neutral force, has a strong presence on ’Earth’, and if they really attack the United States now.

Wouldn’t that be giving the Allies a significant advantage?

Or does Japan have some deeper thoughts?

However, despite the analysis from these military experts, no one seems to understand Japan’s move to gather forces in the Pacific Ocean.

With the neutral standing, you wouldn’t really go for a sneak attack, would you?

Bringing an enemy out of nowhere?

Is it because the current enemies of the Axis Powers are not enough?

Yet, because this game lacks logic, no military experts dare to jump to conclusions; incidents like the ’Dunkirk Evacuation’, ’London Bombing’, and ’Berlin Bombing’ don’t adhere to logic.

There’s also the cautionary tale of Shi Jun, so even if they find Japan’s actions somewhat outrageous, these experts won’t rush their judgment.

After all, there have been many illogical moments before, and guessing wrong this time would be embarrassing.

But some have found other angles for analysis.

As the [Pacific Theater] lights up, players from the Imperial Camp and Federation Camp realize they can now randomly encounter the United States of America and Southeast Asia after restarting.

From the information gathered by players on both sides, the Axis Powers are not in a favorable situation.

And players who randomly encountered the United States of America found newspapers reporting that the United States and the British Commonwealth are jointly blocking some material shipments of the Axis Powers (including oil embargoes).

In this context, initiating an attack on the United States of America seems reasonable.

After all, in the ’Earth’ setting, oil is a crucial strategic resource. If oil is blocked, warships, planes, and tanks might all be at a standstill.

Of course.

These are just analyses by Blue Star players based on limited information.

For in-depth research, they’ll have to wait for Japan to truly attack the United States of America and see if it impacts the European Battlefield.

But looking at the map with such distance, it seems like it might not affect much.

As Blue Star players speculate fervently.

...

Donghai City.

Polestar Game Company is conducting team-building activities.

At this time, a dozen employees from the company, including Zhao Ming and Shen Qinghan, have come to the seaside resort in Donghai City.

The entire resort floats on the sea, gently rising and falling with the waves.

Beneath the transparent floor of the resort are projections of various marine creatures swimming, chasing, and feeding, just like the real thing.

Zhao Ming lies on a sunbed looking at the night scene of Donghai City, while below the vacation island, the company’s employees are surfing on floating devices with half of their bodies immersed in the sea.

Listening to the sound of the sea breeze blowing past, Zhao Ming rubs his eyes and puts on sunglasses:

"I feel like the light pollution is quite severe. Watching for a long time might not be good for the eyes, right?"

Shen Qinghan, lying on the adjacent sunbed, gives Zhao Ming a sideways glance:

"You spend all day in the office staring at screens, and you never say it’s bad for your eyes. But when you come out to enjoy the scenery, you find it bad for your eyes?"

"Relax, if your eyes wear out, just replace them."

"Current prosthetic eye technology is advanced, even if you’re born blind, it can allow you to see again."

Zhao Ming picks up the juice beside him and says:

"That’s not necessary."

"I still prefer the original ones."

"What’s the status of other Federation agents? Haven’t negotiated yet?"

Currently, among other Federation agents, only the Antarctic Star Federation has finished negotiations and successfully set up servers, relying on the main servers of the Great Xia Federation.

That’s why Zhao Ming has brought people out for team-building activities.

In fact, even without their supervision, everything would run smoothly with the current technology, but he just feels uneasy.

Shen Qinghan speaks:

"Currently, other Federations have rather mediocre conditions, mainly because a concept CG alone can’t impress them, and imitations have started appearing on the market."

"Many smart game developers or companies have started independently creating a game background inspired by ’World War II: Empire’s Rise’."

"They all have photon supercomputers, simulating complete background stories."

"They even support customization, so although the game is popular, the conditions compared to their customizable options are still somewhat lacking."

Zhao Ming just nods without much reaction, Shen Qinghan asks:

"You seem utterly unperturbed."

Zhao Ming’s expression is peculiar:

"Worried about what?"

"’Earth’ is unique, it’s not something they can simulate similarly with just tens or hundreds of people wielding photon supercomputers."

"What they simulate with photon supercomputers can never compare to the stories occurring within ’Earth’."

This group actually believes ’Earth’ was made by him using photon supercomputers; they’d need the memory for that.

But it looks like the deception worked.

Fooled a batch of ’genius’ producers, they all fell into the trap....

The concept of quantum computing, he has tried to use it for deduction, but there are too many limitations, especially in situations like the "Bloody Battle of Sanshuli," which surpass human endurance.

Even if you command the quantum computer, it would refuse to produce anything, citing illogicality.

Because events like these haven’t occurred on Blue Star, if placed in myth-based games, it might produce something logical through other means.

However, from a realistic standpoint, the quantum computer simply cannot deduce it.

As no precedent exists for such occurrences.

Unless detailed brainwave data similar to Zhao Ming’s is provided, it’s impossible to produce based on available data, but do others have that?

Clearly, no one else does....

Shen Qinghan nodded on his side:

"As long as you’re confident, that’s good."

"By the way, the products of the ’Earth’ series IP, the manufacturing factories have all been found, we’re just waiting for your command to launch and promote them."

"Approximately when?"

Zhao Ming thought for a moment, then said:

"After the Battle of Moscow concludes."

"It’s coming soon."

"The ’Morning Star Day’ seven-day holiday is about to end, and by then we’ll settle a batch, and rewards for players will be given out, using those products and commemorative photos."

Though food, alcohol, and beverages from Earth don’t hold an advantage on Blue Star.

This stuff is mainly tied to the game; as long as someone plays, there will be buyers. Besides, last time a streamer was brought down by just a shot of vodka.

As a result, even though vodka hasn’t gone on sale yet, its search volume has increased.

Commemorative photos are selected moments through searching player data within the game, which can trigger segments of storyline CG through scanning.

These CG storylines might belong to the players themselves, or could be the continuation of another NPC’s story.

Zhao Ming chatted with Shen Qinghan about the company’s development in the next two months and the subsequent game content release:

"The Battle of Stalingrad is expected to be released by the end of next month, this instance is a brutal street fight, suitable for testing individual soldier qualities."

"This could be pitched to other Federations to see who’s interested, perhaps it can be live-streamed across the network...."

...

The other side.

Compared to the fierce battles across the Moscow battlefield.

Leningrad is much quieter.

Though there are constant attacks from the Imperial forces, with heavy snowfall, even the Empire has eased its offensives these past two days.

At this moment.

In Duan Yu’s live stream room.

[Leningrad Survival Challenge, Day 29/100.]

So far, it’s been nearly a month.

A month has allowed Duan Yu to gradually familiarize himself with Leningrad at this time. He is currently hiding in a temporary shed built in an alley on the city fringe.

There’s a bonfire before him, burning several pieces of wood for warmth. He took a bite from a hard piece of bread and introduced the situation to newcomers in the live stream:

"The situation in Leningrad isn’t too good right now."

"A large storage site in the city was bombed by the Empire’s aircraft."

"Now, the daily food distribution isn’t enough."

"This small piece of bread was issued yesterday. If I just lie down after eating, it can last for a day, but even just getting up to use the restroom will quickly consume that sliver of energy from the bread."

"But the good part is.... eating this thing hardly requires going to the restroom."

Duan Yu bitterly smiled, taking another bite of the palm-sized bread, crumbs falling with every bite.

The comments from viewers in the live-stream floated past, jokingly.

[Streamer, I came here on reputation, heard you know thirteen ways to eat bear~?]

[Correct above, the streamer is a survival expert, not only knowing thirteen ways to eat bear, but also teaching you how to stretch a piece of bread to last two days while staying at home!]

[Two days with one bread, a year.... just a bit over a hundred breads, how much meal money can that save?!]

[Why doesn’t the streamer go hunting? With hands and feet, catch some game and eat it.]

[That’s hilarious, that little body might end up being eaten by the wildlife instead.]

[Wolf: Thanks to the streamer for delivering over a hundred pounds of meatless bones~]

[Darn meatless bones!]

Duan Yu shook his head, not responding to the teasing in the live stream.

Mainly because he had no energy.

Suddenly.

From outside the alley, there came a burst of shouting and the cries of a child.

Duan Yu originally didn’t want to meddle.

But as the noise approached closer, viewers in the live stream kept egging him on.

Duan Yu could only put down the hard bread he was holding and grabbed a stick with a dagger tied to the end from inside the shed.

He stood up and walked out of the shed.

A gust of cold air suddenly swept over, and Duan Yu shrank back, luckily he had spent his last money on clothes, otherwise he might have frozen directly to death.

Duan Yu walked out of the alley.

In front of him was a man who looked to be in his forties, holding a child who was crying and kicking another child who was trying to pounce on him with his right foot.

"Damn thing, get far away from me."
