Chapter 10 Military Industry, Energy, and Food Issues
It's 11 p.m.
Huaxia, Doomsday Response Department.
In the brightly lit conference room, the discussion about all the changes and work arrangements of the day finally came to a temporary end.
"Xiao Li, read it again to everyone and see if you've missed anything."
Minister Yang Jian, sitting at the head of the table, pinched his brow and spoke.
Secretary-General Li Wenxi, who was in charge of the meeting minutes, nodded and stood up with the report in hand.
The meeting resolutions are as follows.
"First, considering the self-consistency of social operation, we will not interfere with the public's voluntary participation in games from an official perspective for the time being."
As soon as the meeting began, a leader raised this question.
However, after discussion, it was decided not to interfere for the time being.
The reason is simple: human society needs a material foundation to function.
Although everyone can participate in the next game, the premise is that people need to live, eat, and maintain a normal daily life. Therefore, it is impossible for the whole country to become "addicted to games" and cause society to come to a standstill.
"Second, game time limits will be imposed on military personnel, police officers, teachers, firefighters, and various civil servants, public employees, employees of state-owned enterprises, etc."
"You can play, but it must be done on rest days and during rest time, and it cannot affect your daily work."
"Otherwise, we will deal with it severely."
"Third, establish an in-game discipline, behavior monitoring and management department."
"The game world must never become a chaotic paradise."
"Players can relax to some extent, but extremely serious illegal and criminal acts and inappropriate behavior by official personnel need to be restrained."
Fourth, establish an in-game war mobilization department.
"To provide assistance and services to all players who wish to participate in the 'Saving the World' operation."
"To concentrate the power of the masses."
Fifth, coordinate with and assist the scientific research and testing team members to access the game and unlock the system panel.
"..."
The secretary-general's voice continued in the conference room.
Even though it was late at night, countless staff members throughout the building were still busy preparing and carrying out various tasks for the nationwide game that would be held a week later.
at the same time.
At the military base in the Fourth Prince Banner, the military's in-game operational meeting, corresponding to the General Affairs Department, was also underway.
"Reporting to the commander, I, Chen Xiaogang, am requesting to be deployed!"
"Reporting to the commander, I, Wei Shan, request to be deployed!"
"Reporting to the commander, I, Xu Jie, request to be deployed!"
"Sir, I'd like to give it a try too..."
The director's command center had been transformed into the game's combat center, where the commanders of the elite First Battalion, who had just completed their physical examinations and inquiries, submitted their applications.
Even other units participating in this red-blue exercise, including commanders at the brigade commander level, also submitted applications.
"You just experienced a war this afternoon."
"I even experienced death."
"I think it's better to take a break for now."
Commander Wang Chuan pondered for a moment before speaking.
Although everyone can participate in the game, it's definitely not feasible for the military to have everyone playing it, as that would instantly create a huge vulnerability in national defense.
Therefore, the solution is to move a portion of the troops into the game and let them experience it first.
This is a very conservative but reliable solution.
"Sir, we're fine!"
"It's not that delicate. Besides, even though it died in the end, it didn't hurt."
"Moreover, I have combat experience. If we go in, at least we can provide basic training and guidance to our comrades."
"Sir, please let us go. That battle this afternoon was truly frustrating and unsatisfying!"
"We have no ammunition supplies, no fire support, no radar, nothing."
"That's not our true fighting strength!"
Upon Wang Chuan's refusal, Battalion Commander Chen Xiaogang's eyes instantly reddened, and he looked as if he was about to cry.
"Old Sun, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Wang Chuan's voice, Sun Bo thought for a moment and said:
"I just went to check on the soldiers."
"Although the experience of dying was indeed very bad, after waking up and receiving professional guidance, they seem to be in good spirits now."
Overall, I feel that everyone is in good condition.
The Chinese military today is no longer what it used to be; its management in all aspects is now highly scientific and meticulous.
One issue that was once overlooked has now become very important: the soldiers' mental state and health.
As for the elite first battalion, they had no idea about the game.
If one only thinks they have crossed over and encountered a bizarre enemy several times their size, then the mental impact of fighting to the death and dying will be enormous. If not handled properly, it will leave psychological trauma. Not to mention subsequent military service, even if they are demobilized and return to civilian life, it will continue to interfere with their lives.
This is also why Wang Chuan wanted them to rest.
But Sun Bo's idea was clearly different. In his view, the soldiers had recovered quite well, and instead of letting them rest, it would be better to let them face their former enemies again. Only by truly defeating the enemy from the heart could their minds be clear.
Only then can that deep-seated fear be truly eradicated.
"And the observer also said that."
"Since everyone is participating this time, I guess the plot will most likely start with the outbreak of the insect swarm."
"In that case, the initial battlefield must be the United States."
"It will be a long time before we really start fighting, and they can rest and recuperate in the game during that time."
"We could also provide guidance and training to other units, as Xiao Chen suggested."
Finally, Political Commissar Sun Bo thought for a moment and then spoke.
Chen Xiaogang nodded quickly, indicating that the political commissar was right.
"Okay, let's do it that way."
"Also, have the medical department prepare the life support system."
"Whether or not we can quit the game to eat in the middle is still undecided."
"We need to be fully prepared!"
Upon hearing Wang Chuan's words, Chen Xiaogang and the others immediately stood at attention and saluted.
The next few days.
The debate surrounding the fourth natural disaster and saving the future continues to unfold.
It has become so well-known that almost everyone in the world knows about it, except for some primitive tribes in Africa.
Everyone is looking forward to the next round of nationwide gaming, and the real world has been stirred up by this event.
US stocks, defense industry stocks surge!
Perhaps the poor performance of the American military in the game has led investors in the real world to have high hopes for military industrial groups. They believe that if the game represents the future, then the military industry is bound to boom.
Meanwhile, global energy prices continue to rise.
The energy problems caused by the Persian Wars continued to worsen, causing great suffering to Europe and the island.
Besides that, there's the issue of food.
The global food shortage was already a foregone conclusion this year due to the natural gas shortage caused by the Gulf War. The emergence of the "Save the Future Game" has only made the situation worse.
After all, everything was too realistic. Almost everyone believed that the scenes in the game were the future. And in any situation, food is the number one problem. Coupled with the instigation of the four major international grain traders, a global food crisis has emerged again.
The outside world is noisy and chaotic.
Only China remains unchanged.
Besides online discussions and real-life conversations about the upcoming game, including how to play it and how to approach it, everyone is also discussing these topics.
However, daily life seems to be completely unaffected.
......
Wang Zhenyi is very busy.
While preparing his graduation thesis, he also took time to design a new copy.
At night, I also need to study the caseless ammunition rifle in the war space. Although there is no computing power to support it, it can only be operated manually, and the progress is very slow. But moving slowly is better than standing still.
Soon, Friday arrived.
A new round of games is about to begin!
