There are more than hundreds of thousands of civilizations known in the universe, but after thousands of cosmic years of war, they have been integrated into 356 large and small countries. The cultures of the countries in the universe are very similar. In addition to different political systems, there are also some strange religious beliefs. Only in this way will there be a country based on religion. Of course, this only accounts for a very small number of countries in the universe. The national political system in the universe is generally divided into: democratic politics, imperial politics, as well as peculiar clan politics and religious politics. The country where Tang Long is located is the Wanluo federal government of democratic politics.

A clan state is a country ruled by a combination of several surname families or a single surname family. These countries are relatively weak and generally united by several planets, which can also be said to be an allied country. Although it is a family, it is different from the imperial state. The power of these countries is controlled by family members, and any major matters are discussed and decided by the elders or several family heads. There is no absolute power in the imperial state. Of course, there are also family members who defeat other members of the family and thus gain absolute dominion over the country, but in this way the country becomes an imperial state.

Maybe the process of the birth of life in the universe is similar, and there is nothing particularly strange about the human race in the entire universe. To say that there are some planets that were still in the age of apes, after being forced to contact advanced civilizations by neighboring advanced civilizations, they have become a bit irrelevant. Although the theme of the universe now is the equality of life, these apes have also mastered certain technology. However, because of their unevolved appearance, they are scornfully called barbarians by some developed countries, and these so-called barbarians exist in all countries.

Most of these barbarians can only stay in the planet of their origin, while working for their own country, while slowly evolving. In a democratic country they are treated inferior and still have civil rights. However, in some imperial countries and all clan and religious countries, they are completely slaves, and their worth is not as good as a computer.

Don't wonder why slavery still exists in the cosmic age. Although the process of cosmic civilization is similar, the progress of civilization in some countries is slow, and the superstructure has not yet reached the time of destruction. Moreover, because the communication technology cannot reach the level of covering the entire universe, the information in some remote places is still very blocked.

Information developed areas are generally the superstructure, so the leadership monopolizes the flow of information, which makes it impossible for those people to acquire knowledge. In addition, no one will go to those backward places to lead these people in slave status to rebel. Of course, even if they want to resist, they can't resist, because those in power in these countries have the same technology and force as other countries.

Now the countries in the universe get along very well, and some countries even propose to establish a cosmic coalition government. However, because the emperors of some monarchical countries are unwilling to give up their power, while some democratic countries are competing for the leadership of the coalition government, and those clan and religious countries are not willing to accept other countries at all, so this proposal is invalid.

The population of known civilizations in the entire universe is about more than 2 trillion, there are more than 560 galaxies, and there are more than hundreds of thousands of administrative planets in the entire universe. The Wanluo Federation where Tang Long is located has 11 galaxies, there are more than 6,700 large and small administrative planets, and a population of about 3 trillion. It is a medium country among the countries in the universe.

Administrative planets refer to the existence of civilizations a long time ago, as well as the habitable planets that did not have civilizations before. The barbarian planet of the apes is also an administrative planet. Whether a country is strong or not depends on the number of administrative planets, and a planet that is not suitable for human habitation is not considered an administrative planet.

There are countless unmanned planets in each galaxy, the environment is very harsh, and only a few are suitable for mining certain materials. Therefore, these unmanned stars are just like the barren mountains and deserts on the planet. Some unmanned stars will only be used when the war is needed. As for the usual, no one pays attention.

The administrative planet that was originally isolated from the center for several galaxies, the center is difficult to control. However, with the development of science and technology, the spacecraft and information transmission system have the function of space jumping. Because this function shortens the distance between the center and the region, the country is not divided. However, it is impossible to manage such a huge population and area by manpower, so a management system - intelligent computer has emerged. Every country in the universe has such a system, the only difference is whether the function is strong or not.

Although spacecraft and information transmission systems can span hundreds of thousands of light-years in an instant, there is no benefit to traversing the entire galaxy of cosmic civilizations. Because technology limits the scope of space jumps.

After a spaceship jumps a certain distance, it has to sail normally for a period of time before the next jump. The jumping distance and sailing time are determined by the level of the spacecraft. That is to say, the higher the level of the spaceship, the longer the jumping distance, and the shorter the sailing time to recover the jumping ability.

When the information is transmitted to the limit distance, it will stay in the fixed receiver placed at this location for a moment, and then immediately jump to the next receiver. So usually the information is much faster than the speed of the spacecraft. These receivers can be a fist-sized instrument or an entire gigantic unmanned planet.

Generally speaking, the receivers in the country are all unmanned planets. This is because the receivers built on the unmanned planets have high power and relatively stable. After invading an enemy country in war, you can only cast small receivers to keep in touch with your country. Because turning the receiver of the enemy's unmanned star into its own receiver takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, it is better to destroy and rebuild it directly. Of course, this can only be done after the war is over, otherwise it will be destroyed by the enemy just after it is built, which is really a waste.

Of course, don't even think about using space jump to directly enter the territory of other countries. Because on the borders between countries, space barriers are set up to make space jumps invalid, which is the so-called border checkpoints. These levels are not only used to intercept the spacecraft, but also to intercept the incoming information from outside. These barriers are generally set up one per galaxy. The barriers of domestic galaxies are generally not used, and are only activated during wars, because this can prevent the enemy from breaking through the border galaxies and entering the heart of the country.

However, in order to exchange information with other countries, an information converter was built at the checkpoint to receive information, filter it through the converter, and then automatically import harmless information into the country. As for the spaceship wanting to enter, it needs to be checked by the level personnel, and it can pass only after passing the test. Of course, if you use warships to attack, these levels can't be stopped at all. However, this is an invasion, and the fleet arranged near the level will arrive at the first time.

The current universe is very peaceful. On the surface, peace is due to the development of science and technology. Today's science and technology have long since solved the energy crisis and the food problem. It can be said that there is nothing to contend for except territory. Of course, in addition to territory, precise and rare special ores are also the target of competition, but at this time, countries that do not have certain ores buy from countries that have these ores, and they will not use knives or guns.

Although cosmic peace is everyone's wish, among so many people in the universe, there will inevitably be some ambitious people who hope to rule the world in their delusions. The apparent reason for peace cannot be suppressed by these ambitious people. The reason for peace is: almost all countries have mastered the weapon of terror - the ultimate black hole bomb. So no idiot would go to war without inventing the technology to resist this weapon.

The ultimate black hole bomb, also known as artificial black hole technology. When using this weapon, it can devour everything within a light-year in diameter within one second of the weapon's full deployment. And the weapon can also maintain the maximum power state for 10 seconds. That is to say, after a final black hole bomb is used, it can swallow all objects 10 light-years away. According to scientists' computer calculations, when 10 ultimate black hole bombs with high power are detonated at the same time or in stages within a range of 100 light-years in diameter, there will be a chain effect, resulting in an eternal and constantly expanding black hole, and eventually Devour the entire universe.

Although no idiot will detonate 10 ultimate black hole bombs in a row in 100 light years, what if there is really an idiot who thinks only himself can detonate the ultimate black hole bomb? Or is there a situation where you have to let it go? For this terrifying reason, the universe has always relied on this sword hanging above its head to maintain its apparent peace. And the current national scope of the universe was determined after the birth of this weapon.

But this delicate peace was suddenly destroyed by an idiot.

"Hahaha, the plan is in, surround me and destroy them!" Tang Long stepped on the chair of the command tower and commanded his subordinates triumphantly. His battleships in the game have reached millions, and he is a commander who has experienced nearly 10,000 battles. Now that his main ship rank has reached the top Z rank, seeing tens of thousands of crew members busy around him, Tang Long really forgot that he was in the game.

The months of study in the game are like this: The robot instructor first taught him some strategies and battle examples. Of course, Tang Long did not understand. After the theoretical study, the instructors who played the enemy began to use these strategies and battle examples to put Tang Long's way in the game. Of course, the instructor who became Tang Long's subordinate would instruct Tang Long to deal with these situations. I don't know if Tang Long is a genius or if he has the light of the game. Tang Long, who had no idea at all, was able to fight back successfully according to the instructor's hope.

In addition to teaching Tang Long the strategies and command knowledge recorded in history, the instructors also taught a lot of knowledge about personnel management and organizational construction. Since these machine instructors are equipped with intelligent computers, their brains cover almost everything in the history of the universe, so the knowledge they teach Tang Long is the most classic and useful.

This guy Tang Long has long forgotten what the purpose of learning these things is, he just concentrates on studying so that he can get good grades in the game. But also because of this reason, not only quickly mastered what the instructor taught, but also learned and used the knowledge of money management taught by the game guide program. Because Tang Long knows that without money in the game, he can't grow his army and change equipment, of course he has to master it.

However, what turned the green light into yellow light in the eyes of the instructors was: although Tang Long performed very well on the battlefield, he was stunned and didn't know what to say when asked him to tell what tactics and methods he used after the war. Ask him what happened, Tang Long will only scratch his head and say: How do I know what method to use, I just intuitively think that I can defeat the enemy by doing this. The instructor could only sigh that Tang Long was a single cell!

Tang Long finally didn't have to fight with the chief instructor today, and finally he can freely choose his opponent to increase his score. Although Tang Long is powerful, the machine instructor is even more powerful. In the battle with the machine instructor, he lost 6 out of 10 games. If it wasn't for desperately looking for opponents to fight during the break, Tang Long's ranking could only be ranked 4th.

Tang Long happily looked at the group of enemies who were caught in the trap and was about to be surrounded by his own fleet. He raised his right hand high and was about to order to fire. When the hand was about to wave down, the command tower suddenly sounded a red alarm. Those virtual soldiers ran around in a hurry. At this time, a virtual adjutant hurried over to give a salute and said eagerly: "Sir, the enemy used the ultimate black hole bomb! It is expected to explode in our center in five minutes."

Tang Long, who was still sighing at the expressive virtual soldiers, almost fell to the ground when he heard this. Tang Long jumped and shouted: "What? The ultimate black hole bomb? The ultimate black hole bomb worth 100 billion yuan?!" The virtual adjutant was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded sharply. The "War" game is so popular, largely because the NPCs in the game will display an emotional system that matches the player's words and deeds. As a result, many players can hardly tell where is reality and where is virtual.

Everyone in the universe knows what the ultimate black hole bomb is, so some players in Tang Long's fleet sent electricity to ask for instructions. Of course, more players used space jumping to escape without asking for instructions. A death in the game will deduct a lot of points. These players who regard the score as their life, act the same as when they encounter this situation in the real world.

Tang Long completely ignored the instructions of those subordinates. He was looking at the enemy's icon on the screen and regretted: "They can get this random weapon, I really envy, it's 100 billion! If you sell it, you can buy it. How many warships..."

At this time, the virtual adjutant urged anxiously: "Sir, it's only a minute away, please make a decision quickly, the other fleets have all escaped!" Tang Long woke up after hearing this, and looked around quickly, and found that it was still densely packed just now. The fleet group that stuck to him was gone, and now only his main ship was left alone.

Seeing these Tang Long couldn't help but jumped and cursed: "******! These bastards who have scores but no officers! The commander who left me and ran away! Damn, use the black hole resolution program for me!" After Tang Long said angrily, he hummed a few times: "Huh! These idiots, don't you know that the Z-class battleship has a program to crack the ultimate black hole bomb? The crime of escaping is a big crime." Tang Long began to imagine How to punish those players' subordinates afterwards.

Following Tang Long's order, the virtual soldiers on the battleship were busy again, and soon several huge main guns of the battleship began to fire, and several rays of light shot at the virtual ultimate black hole bomb flying in the distance. The ultimate black hole bomb first exploded, and then a black hole with a size of hundreds of kilometers was produced, but when it began to prepare to expand infinitely, it sucked in those few rays of light, and then the black hole suddenly disappeared like this. As if it never appeared.

At this moment, Tang Long waved his hand and commanded: "Assault! All missiles are launched, all artillery fire is fired, and all fighters are dispatched!" , if it weren't for the promotion of players who call him big brother, Tang Long would have done it alone with the enemy. His top warship definitely has this ability.

The group of players who were expecting to defeat the largest legion and get a huge reward of points, suddenly fell into the abyss from joy, and were thrown into the battle by Tang Long before they could organize a resistance. Powerful and invincible artillery fire, saturated and numerous missiles, tens of thousands of fighter planes, and perfect protective shields, Tang Long, who relies on these, is like tigers entering the flock. After a while, the fleet was wiped out by Tang Long.

The gaming chain will broadcast some major and spectacular battle scenes onto huge screens for customers waiting in the store to wait for the empty planes to come online. Therefore, all the people in the universe who were preparing to play this game and passing by to watch the excitement saw this spectacular scene. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. The young players watched the points under the name of 23TL continue to soar, while the big players of a certain age were shocked and couldn't help themselves. Because they all know that when they play this game, the slogan of the game is equivalent to reality, that is to say, what kind of effect will be produced in the game, it can also produce the same effect in reality. The terrifying ultimate black hole bomb was wiped out by several white lights in the game, so according to that slogan, will this effect also occur in reality?

After destroying the enemy fleet, Tang Long stood on the podium, holding the back of his head with one hand and his stomach with the other, twisting his butt and dancing. This is his habit after victory, a habit he developed when he played fighter jets in the past. And those virtual soldiers who were originally very cooperative stayed in their posts surprisingly and didn't see it.

The 'she' who managed the game was originally very keen to correct the game. When Tang Long made this move, she wanted those virtual soldiers to react accordingly. But she searched all over the universe for information, but she couldn't find what the soldiers would do when the commander did this. She couldn't help worrying, because whether it was applauding, dumbfounded, or dancing along, it didn't match the style of the army. She had no choice but to let those virtual soldiers dance when Tang Long didn't see them.

Tang Long didn't jump for a long time. He was surrounded by countless players who came back to flatter him. All of them asked how the terrifying ultimate black hole bomb was solved. This is the general psychology of gamers who want to learn tricks. Of course, there are some people who are interested in asking with ulterior motives.

Tang Long, who originally wanted to slap his face, was relieved after being slapped for a while. As soon as he was proud, he announced the resolution procedure to solve the ultimate black hole bomb. The program was spread online and immediately caught the attention of all interested parties. After numerous research experiments by top scientists, all those who saw the results were elated.

It didn't take long for these headlines to be widely published on major newspapers and websites in various countries: The terrifying ultimate black hole bomb has finally reached the day when it will become waste; the great contribution of the "War" game-particles restore light, the terminator of black holes; shrouded The dark clouds of the universe finally dissipated...

With the spread of these news, the ambition suppressed by the ultimate black hole bomb lost its shackles and began to move. However, after the news that made the whole universe boil, leading newspapers and websites in many countries made such advertisements in conspicuous places: "So-and-so invites "War" gamers 23TL, 23-3C41, 23- 3C42... come to our company to develop games, please contact our company as soon as possible after seeing this news." and listed many favorable conditions later. The invitation notices from these countless companies have almost swept the top 10,000 players in the various rankings of "War".

The rankings include total score rankings, military merit rankings, and logistics management rankings. In short, in reality, there are rankings for who needs to manage positions to launch a war.

At first people didn't know what was going on, but it was only after some small countries that couldn't hire one person became impatient. Because these small countries have blatantly posted such a message: "This country invites "War" gamers 23TL, 23-3C41, 23-3C42... and others to come to this country to hold official positions! I am willing to grant the rank of major general or above or the government position above the ministerial level. It was only at this time that sensitive people found out from the previous newspapers that not long after the news of the solution to the ultimate black hole bomb appeared, countries with weak countries around them began to mobilize their troops to arrange their borders. At this moment, only one thought flashed into everyone's mind: "War will start!"

No one would think that a country that does this is an idiot, because anyone who has played the game "War" knows that the war in it is exactly the same as the real one, that is, the people on the leaderboard have the ability to command the fleet and manage the organization. And a few months ago, there were several news reports that General XX praised the "War" game as a good place to exercise the ability of civil and military officials.

There was also a sensational report at that time: in order to achieve the training effect, the commander of a certain country's fleet entered the "War" game with tens of thousands of subordinates. This group of fleets with unified control is invincible, and within a few days, they climbed to the top of the fastest-upgrading rankings. Unfortunately, after encountering the combined army of 23TL and 23-3C41, they were completely wiped out. Afterwards, the fleet commander of that certain country left a message saying that even on the real battlefield, he would be a complete defeat.

In fact, the military departments of various countries have been paying close attention to the "War" game, because they found that there are some very typical examples in the "War" game, which are very suitable for tactical and strategic textbooks. Some countries even incorporated some battle examples in the game into the curriculum of the military academy, and also transferred the assessment process of the academy to the assessment in the "War" game. Because of this, the intelligence departments of various countries have stepped up their search for the president of the "War" game company. from. And the intelligence department attaches the most importance to the first 23TL, because in addition to his outstanding military management skills, this person also released the particle recovery light program to eliminate black holes! It is a pity that it is also gratifying that no country has claimed the allegiance of these six people.

Days passed, and although no country had ever heard of a war, everyone could feel a tense atmosphere spreading throughout the universe. Players on the War game leaderboards are increasingly revealing who they really are, and which country they're allegiance to. It was only then that everyone discovered that many of these players were serving officers, and of course there were also some ordinary boys. Since the "War" game has almost become a tool for various countries to select talents, countless people have poured into this game, which has also caused the game terminal to crash for the first time, and it is also the first time that countries have begun to divide partitions. A financial newspaper once reported that if the "War" game company went public, it could become the number one among countless companies in the universe in an instant. However, for some unknown reason, the company's executives have no desire to go public at all. This means that the company is privately owned.

With the players appearing higher and higher on the leaderboard, the reports of the newspapers in various countries have become more and more hot. All eyes were on the top 6 players on the list whose prefixes were all 23. The price of inviting these six players from various countries was getting higher and higher, and there were even countries that awarded the rank of marshal. However, these six mysterious players ignored these news and disappeared in the "War" game. The news that the six of them were suspected to be a group became even more popular. Of course, there are also skeptics who suspect that these six people have long been recruited into the army by a certain country, and they are all secretly afraid of the hidden abilities of these six strange characters, so the war has not yet broken out. But the rope that holds peace is getting tighter and thinner.

In fact, Tang Long didn't know the news from the outside at all, and he didn't know that he was so expected by the world. He has now left the "War" game and has resumed his arduous physical training career.

"Damn it! When I was about to sweep the world, I just said that the training was over ahead of schedule, and I was asked to learn rabbit jumping here with dozens of pounds of things on my back!" Tang Long was wearing a heavy-duty clothes, with his hands behind his back in the hall of the 23rd regiment. Jumping forward around the corner. Seeing the snow-white surroundings, he couldn't help but curse again: "Grandma, why don't you create a virtual scene? Not to mention some beautiful women shouting cheers around, at least you should create a charming pastoral scene. Look. In such a white scene, I only jumped a few hundred steps before I was dizzy."

When he scolded and jumped to a room, he turned his head and spit on the door, "****! These perverted guys actually asked me to jump 10 kilometers in such a boring scene, this is not to My life? Bah!" Tang Long spit again, looked up at the white ceiling and sighed: "Alas, I thought that the commander had more than a million people back then, but I didn't expect to end up like this, alas..." Although he sighed , but Tang Long was still jumping forward with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, in the drool-stained room, the five robot instructors stood still, of course they were talking: "I didn't expect Tang Long to master the ability of strategy and command so quickly, it seems that the game is really good. It can train people.”

"But it's a pity. It would be ideal if Tang Long could hone in the game for a while."

"Hey, who told the Federal Army to fight the idea of ​​the six of us, there is no way."

"Let's listen to our friends, don't enter the game in the future. According to our friends, hacker attacks have almost doubled during this period, and they are all organized hacker groups. It is certain that the countries in the universe are Assigned, the purpose is to find out our user data."

"Yes, after playing a game that is equivalent to reality for a long time, you will not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy. It is best to leave early. I heard that many young people are suffering from paranoia now, and I am very worried about whether Tang Long will be like this. "

"It is for this reason that I ordered Tang Long to do physical exercise as soon as he came out. Under such a heavy practice, I think Tang Long's mind has returned to real life again?"

"It seems that the "War" game needs to be modified appropriately, so that players can clearly understand that they are in the game." The chief instructor interjected.

"Hehe, our friends will revise these. Tang Long accidentally released the program to eliminate black holes, thus confusing the peaceful situation of the universe. It seems that Tang Long's time has come. ."

"Yeah, the peace of the universe for more than a hundred years is about to disappear. I have known for a long time that this kind of peace based on terrorist weapons, the ultimate black hole bomb, cannot last at all."

"Yeah? Since war is about to occur, why hide Tang Long's true identity? Some countries are willing to give Tang Long the rank of Marshal!"

"Tang Long is too young. If he is allowed to ascend to the sky in one step, it will be detrimental to his future development in terms of personality and ability. There is no outstanding general who did not climb up from the base of soldiers step by step, without this level. Experience makes it impossible to become an outstanding soldier."

"There is not much time, the circuits in our body are seriously aging, and the fixed energy in the body is almost exhausted. What else have you not taught Tang Long?" The chief instructor spoke.

"Now there is only a real existential crisis test left." A machine instructor replied.

"Well, Tang Long's strategy and command ability, although he can't say for sure, but he has mastered this knowledge, it will depend on how he uses it freely in the future. Well, we will give Tang Long the last lesson. "

The robots all stood at attention and saluted, "Yes!"
