Chapter 163 Mission Change (4K)

"This matter, I have to start from the beginning of Pangu... Ahem, let's get down to business."

Shen Fei coughed twice, and said seriously: "Do you still remember the background introduction that was like a child's play in the base information? After reading it, the first feeling is that it looks like the opening CG lines of an inferior game?"

"Then what if I say that this world might be a game?"

"Impossible!" Bullet Piaoling retorted subconsciously: "I have analyzed the resolution of this world, and this is definitely the real world. Even if we are in a brain-computer connection, the details of everything around us cannot be faked."

It seemed to grab Shen Fei's painful foot, which made him quite excited: "Do you know how much computing power is needed to virtualize a world? Not to mention the current technology, even if it continues to develop for hundreds of years, according to Moore's Law It’s hard to imagine such a realistic world.”

There was a sarcastic look on his face, like an insider looking at an outsider.

Shen Fei smiled slightly, knowing what he meant, according to Moore's Law, that is: every 18 to 24 months, the performance of the processor will double.

With existing processors, it is extremely difficult to simulate a real world using Unreal Engine. To restore the appearance, texture, and physical properties of any item requires a lot of data calculations.

It is indeed impossible to achieve it with the current human technology, but if he looks at the world of plane killing with the thinking of ordinary people, is his brain broken?

Besides, when did Shen Fei say that this is a chip simulation world?

After his sneer ended, Shen Fei calmly said: "When did I say that this world is fake?"

"Didn't you say this is a game..."

Before the bullet casings were floating, Shen Fei interrupted: "The game can't be based on the real world? You can explain this base that can be upgraded, and then you can explain the firearms with unlimited ammo, and then you can explain Let’s talk about the fact that the power of the gun can be changed.”

"I don't know what kind of mentality you have, so you use the current technology on the earth and Muggle thinking to speculate on the killing field of the plane. I'm just curious, how did you survive to Lv13?"

The bullet casings were scattered and he was stunned speechless, and at the same time, his heart was greatly shocked.

He vaguely remembered that he was not like this before, he would not be full of complaints about life, he would not use his mind to restrain himself, he was full of enthusiasm for life, and remained curious about everything.

Since when did he become so decadent and stupid, he tried hard to think back, perhaps after he joined the Supernatural Foundation, saw too many geniuses, and saw too many excellent players trained by those in power...

Shen Fei didn't have time to redeem him, but continued: "Do you still remember the surprise in the first phase of the mission? That raider, what did you feel when you first saw it?"

Aletta was contemplating deeply, the bullet casings were falling and she just came back to her senses, as for the black Bianhua, she had no intention of talking to Shen Fei at all.

"Okay." Shen Fei shrugged boringly, this is the worst class of students he has ever taught, and they don't know how to speak enthusiastically.

"It has a biological beauty, like a species that has survived many thousands of years of natural selection, and the outbreak of the zombie virus in just three years can only produce that kind of inferior existence at best." Shen Fei pointed That three-handed and four-legged zombie.

"A series of mutated zombies such as raiders, spiters, and mutants are more like the products of systematic gene editing, with their own complete biological structures."

"Before that, I had doubts about their existence until I used a probing skill. The base under my feet was made of an unknown energy."

"And the energy of this base radiates outward. Everything in the entire city within my field of vision is connected to this base through energy flow. In other words, it may control everything in the city."

"And all the mutated zombies we found, except for the one brought back by the black Bianhua, all have traces of being transformed by the energy of the base."

"So I made a bold assumption. For this city, the base is an invader, using its ability to control everything in the city, and the purpose may be to receive outsiders like us."

"This may be a game, or it may be a laboratory. We may be testers, or they may be observed. Maybe the existence of the creation base is watching our every move behind a certain screen."

Aletta no longer remained silent this time: "Even if these are true, is there any change for our mission itself?"

Black Bianhua, who has been out of everyone's discussion, said with a smile: "The mission goal is not static. The system will dynamically change the mission according to the information obtained by the current player and the development of the situation."

"If our goal is no longer relying on the base to defend against the continuous wave of zombies, but to find a way to destroy the base, then the mission objective may be adjusted accordingly."

Shen Fei looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the thoughts of the two coincided with each other.

And it can be seen that she came back with that weird-looking zombie, which in itself contained some kind of purpose.

It seems that to verify the words of the black Bianhua, the system prompt also came at this time.

【Mission objective has been changed】

[Second stage task: Help the city get rid of the fate of being controlled]

[Task time limit: none]

[Task reward 1: 1500 experience points]

[Task Reward 2: 2000 Game Coins]

[Task Reward 3: Excellent Quality Random Item*1]

[Mission Reward 4: Rare Quality Random Item*1]

【Mission Failure Penalty: None】

Shen Fei couldn't help raising his eyebrows, is this a coincidence?Or did the black Bianhua do it on purpose?Her understanding of the plane killing field seems to be very deep.

After being questioned by Shen Fei, the bullet casings were floating and he did not speak again. He just listened quietly to Shen Fei's narration, but at this moment, he finally couldn't help it, and asked eagerly: "You know that telling the truth will change the mission, right? Why do you want to do this? Do? What good does it do us?"

He was still a little crazy in his heart. He could understand the previous mission goal because it clearly stated that he could survive for three days, but he couldn't understand how to complete the current mission at all.

"A benefit? Letting you not be fooled counts as a benefit?" Shen Fei mocked slightly.

"Haven't you ever thought about why there is a zombie wave? Have you ever wondered why mutant zombies appear in large numbers during the zombie wave? Will there be new mutant species later? If the difficulty of defense increases exponentially, you can handle it ?"

"In order to use the base's firepower as a boost, we will submit the loot to the base one after another, and the base uses the recovered energy to continuously transform the zombies, creating more difficulty for me."

"Does it sound familiar? Have you noticed that this is like the life of a social animal in the real world, which continuously generates value, obtains a small reward, and is harvested again, and the cycle repeats."

As for what the forces behind the base need?Perhaps, as Shen Fei said, the internal testing or observation experiment of the game may require the hands of the players to clean up all the ordinary zombies, who can say for sure.

Aletta has always been more practical, and she is more concerned about her own interests: "Then how should this task be accomplished now?"

Regarding this, Shen Fei had thought about it. He and the black Bianhua exchanged a glance, looked at the base under their feet together, and then smiled at each other.

Watching the actions of the two, Aletta also seemed to understand: "You mean to destroy this base?"

The black Bianhua nodded, expressing affirmation, but Shen Fei disagreed: "Not all, who said that there is only one base in this city?"

Aletta cast her eyes on him, and even the black Bana was a little surprised.

Shen Fei called up the map in the base panel, and took out the city overlooking map on the Pad for comparison.

There is basically no difference between the two maps, the difference is that the map in the panel is clearer, while the one in Shen Fei's hand has many lines added by him.

When the three of them saw this map, they instantly understood what Shen Fei meant.

According to Shen Fei's lines, the urban area delineated by forests, rivers, etc. as boundaries is roughly an ellipse, and the base under their feet is at one of the focal points of the ellipse.

As we all know, the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the two focal points is equal, so the eyes of several people naturally fall on the other focal point.

Shen Fei explained: "The range of this city is very close to an ellipse. If the base is really an invader, in order to ensure that the radiation range is sufficient without causing a lot of waste of resources."

"A better option would be to have two small power bases at two focal points rather than one high power base at the center of the circle."

The black Bianhua suddenly asked: "Have you investigated the other place?" Since the distance between the two focal points is about [-] kilometers, it takes a long time to investigate one back and forth, so she asked this question.
Shen Fei called up a few other photos from the Pad. It was a small three-story building. Its shape was just like the base when they first met.

"This is the base I found at another focal point, let's call it the No. [-] base." Shen Fei didn't answer her question directly, nor did he explain the source of the photo, but just stated lightly.

For the established facts, Aletta quickly accepted, and continued to ask: "Then do we have the ability to destroy these two bases? How should we implement it? Blow up the buildings?"

Shen Fei seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said unhurriedly: "This base itself contains a huge amount of energy, and it stands to reason that we cannot shake it."

"However, what's interesting is that I found that most of its energy is located at the core, forming a certain structure. This structure is quite firm and immovable. It seems to be supporting something. Maybe it's its underlying structure." Shen Fei shrug.

"It means that the base itself doesn't have much energy to mobilize, and it still needs to use this energy to erode this kind of city. It's not difficult for us to destroy it."

This is also the reason why Shen Fei used the adjective of low power to describe the base before. He found that there is not much movable energy inside, and there is not enough redundancy.

"The blasting of the base you mentioned is also a way, but it consumes too much, and there is a more efficient way."

"Perhaps it is to set up a reward mechanism. After killing the mutated zombies, some props will explode like in a game. The energy contained in these props is far greater than the energy consumed by transforming zombies."

The bullet casing drifting finally came to his senses this time, and continued: "In other words, we need to kill a large number of mutant zombies, and do not submit props to the base, so as to consume the available energy of the base."

The black Bianhua poured cold water at the right time: "The premise is that killing monsters and exploding props belongs to its underlying logic, and even so, when the available energy is exhausted, it should not produce props anymore. In the final analysis, it still needs to use enough energy. Attack, sabotage the base."

Shen Fei didn't deny it, this was also the part of his words that he hadn't said yet, its solid core structure still needed external force to destroy it.

But at this time, the biggest trouble for the few people has turned into a helper, that is, a large number of ordinary zombies.

They no longer need to defend the base. On the contrary, ordinary zombies can also help them destroy the base.

As long as the base still needs to repair the building body, it will consume part of the energy that can be used, and the change of the mission goal will inadvertently turn the enemy into a friend.

After clarifying what to do, Alita and Bullet Piaoling are much less confused than before.

Without further ado, they were about to launch an action. After several people's discussions, they decided to divide the troops into two groups. Shen Fei volunteered to go to another base alone, while the few people were staying at this base.

When there are no mutant zombies attacking, a few people will destroy the main body of the base first, otherwise they will be idle if they are idle, even if the effect is not strong, at least it is better than nothing.

Shen Fei jumped off the rooftop and headed towards another base.

The black Bianhua looked at his leaving back, thoughtfully, there was a question that both of them were avoiding.

That is the problem with the abnormal energy circulation mode of the base.

The transformation of the city by the base requires energy consumption, and even with the item recycling mode, the consumption is greater than the harvest.

The energy of the props comes from the base, and the energy of transforming the zombies has indeed been consumed, including the ammunition used by several people and the repair of buildings. These energy-consuming vacancies have not been filled.

And a perfect system, either has a good energy cycle to ensure that the energy of the whole system will not decrease; or, it needs external energy input to maintain the operation of the system.

According to the current model where energy can only come out but not in, even if the four players do not make trouble, this system will not be able to run for too long, and one day it will stop due to exhaustion of energy.

That is to say, when Shen Fei's bullet casings were scattered before, there was actually a sense of using the information gap to intimidate. Even if the mission goal does not change, it may not be difficult for a few people to stick to it for three days.

On the contrary, if the base has some kind of protection mechanism to counterattack when threatened, the task at this stage will be more dangerous.

While speeding in the street, Shen Fei was also thinking about the attitude of the black Bana flower. Shen Fei felt that she realized that she was hiding something, but she didn't expose it. Maybe she had the same purpose.
