Build Madness

Zhang Wanhai used to be an ordinary salaryman.

After graduating from junior college, Millennium joined an electronics company and engaged in sales of microcomputers due to her inappropriate major.

At that time, microcomputers were still a new thing in high schools, and the market was extremely blank, easy to fool, with high commissions, and the monthly salary was extremely impressive in second- and third-tier cities.

However, with the rise of Longtian Technology, the SG series became the mainstream in the sub-region, and the microcomputers gradually declined, which led to a precipitous decline in its performance.

In addition, the requirements of overseas computer manufacturers are becoming more and more demanding, squeezing the agents from all aspects. In order to make profits, the agents minimize the operating costs. As employees, the salary is far lower than before.

However, Zhang Wanhai is also a game lover.

In the millennium, when money was ample, he went to and from Internet cafes every day and became a member of thousands of troops attacking sand.

In the same year, he participated in the tens of billions of sand attack activities, and was very lucky to win an SG host, and has since become the "resident resident" of Dragon Continent.

The guild he belongs to is called Iron Hands.

The president is the owner of a cut-resistant glove factory. It is said that the other party joined the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce in the early days, followed Lao Ge to open the Wadao market, and made a lot of money. At that time, his personal net assets were conservatively estimated to be at least 100 million.

The president of the iron hand is very serious in dealing with people, but he is very generous to the members of the guild, including the employees of the cut-resistant glove factory.

Weekly online gatherings, monthly offline dinners, constant red envelopes during the New Year and holidays, and SG pads for birthdays.

For a while, Zhang Haiwan even wanted to quit his sales job and join the boss of Tieshou, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to operate the workshop.

Later, Legend of the Dragon launched a cross-server battle, and the Iron Hands Guild was promoted to the Legion, and the number of members was expanded from 200 to 2,000. As an ordinary soldier, Zhang Wanhai became even more inconspicuous, and since then he has given up the idea of ​​joining the Iron Hands boss.

Even because of not being taken seriously in the guild, coupled with the increasingly unsatisfactory real life, the idea of ​​​​retiring came up.

However.

A few days later, late at night, the boss of Tieshou actually sent a private chat.

The other party spoke concisely, saying that the cut-resistant glove factory increased capital and expanded production, and was preparing to develop other markets outside Dongshan, and urgently needed to recruit overseas personnel.

"This kind of good thing can't be cheap for outsiders. I remember chatting in the past. You said that you have been doing sales in Jiangbei for a long time. Now that you have been in the guild for so long, we both know each other better. Why don't you let me do it."

Zhang Wanhai still remembers these words that changed his life.

From then on, he became the salesman of the 'Shaking Gloves Group' in Jiangbei, and then rose all the way, sales supervisor, sales manager, marketing supervisor, product manager, operations supervisor, branch general manager...

In just three years, from the beginning it was difficult to get by, and now the monthly income exceeds 10,000, and the distribution of cars and houses is like a dream.

As for the Iron Hand Legion, in recent years, it has shifted from the legend of Shenlong to the cultivation of Shenlong, the world in VR, and the "restart of civilization" in virtual reality.

Today, Zhang Wanhai has also become a captain in the game, in charge of the T-TS-7-103 team, with 200 stable online elite players and 300 reserve players.

However, just yesterday, the iron hand boss suddenly decided to invest in the interstellar industry.

Even transferred the 'Shaking Gloves Group', intending to stud directly.

This made Zhang Wanhai very uneasy.

It's not against this decision. After all, the big boss of Iron Hands has never failed, like the magical Ge.

In other words, as long as you follow Lao Ge, Luan Mang can win.

The reason for anxiety is because I am full of confusion about the future.

Although the big boss of Iron Hands stated that the employees, including members of the guild, collectively retain their current positions and their salaries will be paid as usual, but... what will they do when they enter the interstellar industry?

Zhang Waihai also chatted privately with general managers of other regions, who were also confused.

Until today, the boss of Iron Hands arranged for a courier to deliver the medical cabin.

God!

This is a treasure worth millions of red notes!

The point is, the market is out of stock, not to mention loans, you need qualifications or discount coupons to buy if you have money.

Don't look at Zhang Wanhai's monthly income of tens of thousands, but Tiancheng Industrial Chain entered Jiangbei relatively late, and there is no large discount coupon at hand.

And now...

Iron hand big boss sent it directly? !

"The boss is mighty and domineering!"

"Boss, I will be yours from now on!"

"Boss, from now on, if you say to intervene, I will never set fire!"

"boss……"

Open the group chat, all kinds of flattery are full of eyes.

Zhang Wanhai was very disdainful, rubbed the keyboard, and replied:

"Dad, what are you doing today?"

Tie Shou: "Grass, why don't you play tricks on me, hurry up and unbind the old equipment, bind the medical cabin, and half an hour later, we will gather at the south square of C City, and the 'Shaking Star Group' will officially start today!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

Zhang Wanhai quickly got off the assembly line, inserted the smart card into the previously used virtual helmet, extracted personal 'brain imaging information', then put the helmet into the courier safe at the door, and logged into Tiancheng Online Shopping to choose second-hand equipment for transfer.

In an instant...

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wanhai inserted the smart card into the card slot of the medical cabin according to the instructions of the medical cabin, and loaded his personal 'brain imaging information'.

Then, according to the personal information prompt, I purchased matching nutrient solution, genetic medicine solution, and genetic medicine from Tiancheng online...

Fifteen minutes later, Tiantian courier personnel came to the door, first helped to adjust the medical cabin, installed bottles and cans, and then took away the virtual helmet.

Zhang Wanhai finished washing quickly, and lay down in the soft medical cabin within the specified time. While feeling his whole body being wrapped in warmth, his scalp tightened and he fell into a coma.

Immediately, my eyes brightened, and I had come to the world of virtual reality.

The characters, after three weeks of training, have now learned elementary fighting, elementary cold and hot weapons, mining machinery driving, and biped mecha driving.

Of course, these technologies are also learned in reality, but the virtual helmet + body sensory suit + drinking nutrient solution and genetic medicine solution greatly reduce the effect of realization. In reality, only 20% of the ability of the game character is far inferior to the medical cabin + injection nutrient solution , Gene medicine is effective.

After Zhang Wanhai went online, he summoned the elite team members and reserve members, and then rushed to the city transfer station, using the expensive teleportation function, to come to City C.

Until then, Zhang Wanhai suddenly discovered that the atmosphere in the game today is very different from the past.

All the players came and went in a hurry, and there was a long queue in the already crowded training center.

"What happened?" Zhang Wanhai contacted another captain.

"You don't know? What have you been up to recently?"

"I am busy processing orders during the day, and become stronger at night when I am addicted to mining."

"...", "Our company got internal information from Tianji, saying that at noon today, Tianji will release the first plot dungeon since the 'Civilization Restart' public beta. The gap, before death, warns this time and space.

After receiving the news, the mother star joint meeting immediately decided to mobilize the main force of the three major security groups of the mother star to save the future mother star through the space-time gap. And we are the main force of the three major security groups on the mother planet. As for the rewards... it is not clear, but it will certainly not be less. "

"..."

Tiancheng's coquettish operation made all the players confused whether the virtual reality game is virtual or real.

Speaking of virtual, the last time I almost collapsed the North American game...

To be honest, everyone is in the game again...

Zhang Wanhai wanted to ask a few more questions, but the boss of Iron Hands was online.

At this moment, 20,000 elite members and 50,000 reserve players all arrived at the south square of City C.

Iron Hand:

"As early as the beginning of entering the game, I gave everyone priority to learn mining equipment driving, fighting skills, and biped mecha operation. Now that we have completed it collectively, it shows that we have already established a foundation for the 'Shaking Star Group', and the TC medical cabin is It’s a work-from-home device.”

"Today we got our first business, which is related to combat."

"I'll assign first..."

"The numbers are T-TS-0, to 89, and they will be divided into three batches in order, and there will be three shifts in the future, 90-99, as reserve members."

"That is to say, from 13:00 today, brigades 0-29 will be online, and eight and a half hours later, brigades 29-59 will be online...and 90-99 will also be divided into three batches and remain online."

"Unless there is an emergency, no changes."

"If you are not satisfied, you can submit an application to the administration for a small-scale exchange, but in order to maintain combat power, I hope this kind of thing can be avoided, and it is best not to happen. Because our teams, at least two years of running-in, more In four years, from command, to team leader, to team members, he has already formed his own team's combat style..."

"Next, let's talk about the treatment."

"The rewards in the game belong to the individual. After completing the tasks assigned by the company, which is the so-called business, the company will issue additional rewards, mainly red notes."

"It should be noted……"

"Our guild is different from ordinary player groups. Whether they regard 'Civilization Restart' as a game or as a tool to make money, I want to say that we are for work!"

"So... most of the tasks, or business, are mandatory. If you can't accept this, you can return to the TC medical cabin within 24 hours and go through the resignation procedures."

"Therefore, we need to sign a new labor contract..."

Along with these words, Zhang Wanhai received a document.

The content is almost the same as the reality, but there are a few more interstellar regulations...

Zhang Wanhai flipped through it carefully, called out the smart card, and entered his personal 'brain imaging' imprint.

This is a virtual visa in Tiancheng's standard, which is protected by Chinese law and the joint meeting of the mother planet.

Not long.

Iron Hand:

"So, then we will start working on the first day, and the T-TS-0-29 brigade, as well as the reserves 90, 91, and 92 will stay."

"The main members call up the game settings, stare at the blank space in the lower right corner for five seconds, and then enter their respective member codes in the prompt. It's not the Shenlong account, but our company's internal employee number."

"Reservists look at the lower left corner..."

Zhang Wanhai operated according to the requirements, and after the silent recitation was confirmed, the surrounding environment suddenly changed...

This is a super space battleship that is sailing.

The interior is densely packed, displaying countless silver-white biped mechas. (spray rhenium metal paint finish)

As for himself, he was in one of them, with the captain's badge on his arm.

On the operation page, the small map is black, and the God's perspective is temporarily closed. However, the logistics support has been opened, corresponding to the company's reserve team 90-107.

President Iron Hands did not appear, and the sound of empty impact echoed in his ears.

"team leader?"

At this time, a team member called from the communication channel.

"Yes, wait a minute, there should be a task." Zhang Wanhai responded.

in a minute.

A system prompt sounded next to your ears: "You have ten minutes to familiarize yourself with the TC-L biped mech you are driving on the spot. You can walk around, but you can't move because you haven't left the platform."

Zhang Wanhai heard that, based on what he had learned in previous exercises, he started the gravitational field inverter engine with his mind...

To learn how to operate a biped mech, one must first understand its history.

Only Boss Ge and the R\u0026D personnel have actually driven the first-generation machine.

It is a machine with the mechanical arm of the excavator as the legs, the hydraulic pump as the transmission system, and the communication module attached to the GLONASS navigation satellite as the driving monitoring. The machine needs to hang the driver in the crotch. It can't be called a mecha, it has an operation delay beyond imagination, and can only use its legs for synchronous operation.

Wait until the first generation machine.

The R\u0026D personnel replaced the driving computer with Tiancheng's self-produced car-grade chips, installed the Shenlong system, optimized the hydraulic transmission on the basis of the original machine, and changed the driving mode from hanging under the crotch to holding it on the crotch.

Thus, the semi-horizontal operation was born.

However, the operation of the first-generation machine has been changed to a lever, just like operating an excavator, controlling the movement of the mechanical legs by hand. If you want to do other actions, you need to switch the joystick, which is more cumbersome than the first-generation machine.

However, the first-generation machine improved the operational delay and enabled the driver to "swipe like an arm". Later, this model was used for mountain exploration and transportation on a large scale.

When the second generation machine project was established, Tiancheng already owned the Zigbee network.

Therefore, the second-generation aircraft is divided into light and heavy.

Light is controlled by artificial intelligence.

Heavy duty still requires a driver, but with the addition of remote auxiliary remote control, the driver can make certain actions that are affected by the cab and cannot be made.

For example, if you press the running button, the driver does not need to run, as long as he controls the direction, he can easily control the heavy legs.

However, the pilots of the third-generation aircraft must have excellent physical fitness and sensitive response nerves, otherwise the aircraft will easily crash and kill people during difficult maneuvers.

For example, while running on a hillside, and suddenly turned over, without the anti-gravity device, the driver will become a gourd seed in a gourd, crashing... very few survive.

As a result, the third-generation machine was quickly eliminated, and a three-and-a-half-generation model was launched.

This is a brand new biped mech with micro-anti-gravity technology.

Well, finally got the name of Mecha.

Its body size has been adjusted from three meters to five meters, and the cab has been changed to a cockpit.

The difference is that the former is like a car cab, while the latter is a cable-suspended driving suit.

That is to say, the driving suit is connected from all directions with elasticated ropes with attached signal transmission lines.

The driver puts on the driving suit and is hung on the crotch of the biped mecha. Lifting his feet is equivalent to moving the legs of the mecha, and doing his hands is equivalent to operating the arms of the biped mecha.

And it has aiming system, positioning system, intelligent voice prompt...

This model is widely used in the battlefield...

The most glorious record should be that the West Asian militia bought a second-hand car from Nanyang at a high price, modified it, and fought alone on a highland in North America. With the harsh terrain and flexible evasion, they beat three M1s to the ground within five minutes.

A year later, Daqin Bingfeng launched the fourth-generation biped mecha.

In this generation, the two legs finally have a sci-fi shell.

Smooth sheet metal painting, rounded oval head (crotch), domineering twin rocket launchers, bluffing fully automatic machine guns, and the most advanced AR assistance system.

Unfortunately, the fourth-generation aircraft failed to enter the battlefield.

Because Tiancheng signed a cooperation agreement with North America and started their honeymoon...

Later, the neuron connection technology appeared, and the fourth-generation machine became the TC series. At this time, although Tiancheng still had conflicts with North America, they still failed to fight...

The development speed of TC series is much faster than previous generations.

Photon communication, 'swarm' assistance, holographic driving, spaceflight mode, replaceable pulse armament, laser armament...

And in terms of operation.

The TC series canceled direct driving and changed to brain imaging virtual driving.

That is to say, the driver can complete the synchronous operation of the real biped mecha by remotely controlling and driving the virtual biped mecha.

The space behind the cockpit is cancelled, which is used to install the gravitational field inverter device and store spare, switchable energy blocks.

The mode of operation is:

Move your arms with a wave, walk or run with your legs up.

Brain thinking operation, no need to worry about physical fitness, naturally no need for one-key driving, this can save calculation, and use it to explore the surrounding environment in a 'swarm'.

Find the target, move the weapon by hand, lock the target according to the visual prompt and the front sight, and attack manually.

If the enemy attacks, you can move your legs back, forward, crouch, evade...

There is no need to worry about the damage to the internal structure caused by rolling, and there is no need to worry about being directly destroyed by the enemy. As long as it can do its own actions, the biped mecha can also do it.

If you are very confident in your fighting ability, you can even draw out the titanium alloy electric knife on your back and fight the enemy hand-to-hand...

This is the TC series biped mecha.

It is silvery white, but with an extra layer of wear-resistant rhenium metal paint, which is no different from black.

But when Zhang Wanhai was familiar with it, and after the system prompted that it was being launched...

Seeing the scene outside the battleship, I was stunned.

This is an abstract planet, black earth, painted sky, huge mountains and rivers...

However, he saw this kind of wallpaper on the forum some time ago, and he already had a little tolerance in his heart.

The horror is...

At this moment, a huge hole that is visible to the naked eye and whose radius cannot be calculated is broken in the sky! (The expedition fleet forcibly broke through the ionosphere, causing charged particles in the universe to flood into planet 3, forming a large-scale 'aurora' phenomenon)

Not only that, super arks are breaking into the planet from giant holes, and pouring down a silver-white waterfall...

And I seem to be just a small drop of water in the silver waterfall!

"Drip, the combat mission has been delivered..."

"Eliminate all the aliens and restore the home planet of the human race!"

Hearing the prompt, Zhang Wanhai took a deep breath, feeling that his soul was shocked by the scene in front of him.

But then I wanted to complain, how the hell does this look like a mother star?

Click...

The two legs of the TC series land gently, and the gravitational field inverter automatically switches to the surface state.

Immediately afterwards, the swarm system was passively triggered, forming a holographic combat system in the field of vision.

"gather!"

Before Zhang Wanhai had time to think about it, he immediately set up the team flag on the map, called on the team members, and at the same time contacted the superior team leader, "Report, the T-TS-7-103 team is on standby!"

"Kill all the aliens within your range, remember to collect the spoils and wait for the transport spaceship to arrive."

"receive!"

hum...

The conversation ended, and the energy fluctuations of the magnetic explosion came from all directions.

That's when other teams are fighting.

Looking at the frequency of fluctuations, it is very intense.

Zhang Wanhai quickly raised his vigilance. At this moment, a giant black tree came into view in the distance. The auxiliary system did not respond at all, but...

The other party... seems to be moving? !
