I Make Games in the Interstellar Era

Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.

Chapter 105

Of course, Xu Piao also saw the fleet of spaceships that covered the sky.

The spacecraft of the interstellar wanderer cannot land in the proper docking channel of the third-magnitude star, and can only semi-land above the third-magnitude star.

The strong wind caused by the descending spacecraft blew her hair back. Xu Piao put her hair behind her ears, stood up straight and looked at the group of people walking out of the nearest semi-landing spacecraft.

Each of them was well-equipped. After landing, they moved quickly and swiftly to control the guards and the person from the first-class star, and then looked at her with curiosity.

The young man in the lead was Li Sheng, the leader of the interstellar wanderers.

"Get on spaceship No. 3 and evacuate within two hours." Li Sheng looked at Xu Piao. After a while, he probably confirmed something. After saying this, he gave instructions to his subordinates, and the people in the other spaceships also got off.

Xu Piao did not immediately board the spaceship as Li Sheng arranged. After hesitating for a moment, he asked him, "How much combat power did you bring?"

"What do you think?" Li Sheng asked back.

——Since they are not siblings in essence, Xu Piao and Li Sheng naturally would not call each other brother and sister. Therefore, when there is no need to call each other's names directly, they simply communicate with each other as "you".

"My idea is..." Xu Piao said calmly, "If the conditions are met, can we get a third-class star?"

She did not inquire in detail whether the combat power of the interstellar wanderers was sufficient to capture the third-class star, nor did she ask whether they could stop the alliance from attacking after they captured it, and whether the benefits of capturing it were enough to offset these troubles. These were all things that Li Sheng, the leader of the interstellar wanderers, would consider. She just came up with such an idea based on her own understanding.

As far as Xu Piao knew, in order to prevent people from escaping, there were no other nearby planets around the third-magnitude star, and the most important passage was towards the first-magnitude star. In other words, if it was taken down, the entire planet would have a protective and counterattack system, making it a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The basic equipment and weapons depots on the third-class star are all ready-made. As long as it can be defended after being captured, it will be the best base.

But the most important thing is the relatives of criminals on the third-class star.

These people have few opportunities to come into contact with the holographic game cabin. It can be said that they are the people who are least influenced by her game among all the people on the planet. However, if it really comes to the point of going to war with the Alliance, these people are the most likely to be pushed to the front line.

It was after much consideration that Xu Piao proposed to Li Sheng the idea of ​​obtaining the third-class star under such circumstances.

"Leader, let's do it!" The interstellar wanderers following Li Sheng were so excited that their blood boiled and they were ready to fight. "Two-thirds of us are here. It shouldn't be a problem to take down a third-class planet. After we take down a third-class planet, we'll have the rest of the people come over. We'll use this planet as a base and arm it. Even a first-class planet won't be able to break in!"

"Really? Really? Are you going to do something big? We haven't done something this big in a long time!"

Li Sheng was unfazed by his men's excitement. He pondered the feasibility of this action, then weighed the pros and cons before making a final decision. He instructed his men, "Dak, have all our combat personnel disembark. Leave only basic control personnel on each spaceship. Then have them fly the spaceships back and forth to the city several times. However, they must not use the heavy weapons on the spaceships. Combat personnel can only use laser weapons."

"Without affecting any unrelated personnel on the third-class planet, take down the planet's control center."

Instructions were passed down quickly after the battle plan was determined.

After the instructions were issued, Li Sheng turned to Xu Piao and was about to ask her to go to the spaceship to wait for the results. Suddenly, the interstellar wanderer member following Li Sheng alertly raised the laser cannon launch port and pointed it at the right housing area in front of him, "Come out!"

079, who was in charge of controlling the small robot and the sniper from the first-class star, walked out of the defense zone. Even though he looked like a human on the outside, the energy reaction inside the robot could not escape the detection of the detector, especially since the thermal weapons modified on 079 were still exposed.

The Star Exiles members became more alert, warning and ready to press the ready launch button.

"This is my robot." Xu Piao said, "Put it away."

The Interstellar Exiles member thought that the words "put it away" were directed at him, and looked at Li Sheng hesitantly. The next moment, he saw the robot obediently put away its weapon.

It turns out that I didn't tell him.

When Li Sheng's team of interstellar wanderers began to take action to capture the third-class star, Xu Piao also arrived on their spaceship, waiting for the result.

When Li Sheng arrived with a team of interstellar wanderers, in order to express his trust and gratitude to them, Xu Piao temporarily separated from 079 and let 079 follow them to help control the intelligent mechanical products and reduce the difficulty of overcoming them.

Looking at the familiar third-class star city below in the spaceship, Xu Piao sighed in his heart.

From today on, her life of playing games and browsing the discussion forum every day is gone forever.

The game relies on the Star Network for its existence, and the Star Network is under the control of the Alliance. In this case, even if she makes a new game, she has nowhere to release it... What a pity, the activities of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have only just brought out Fuxi, and even the progress in civilization brought by Fuxi has not yet been shown, let alone the Yellow Emperor period.

I just feel a little sorry for Lake. Lake has put a lot of thought into "Distance Between Hell" and she didn't put too much personal opinion into this game, but it was still blocked. I will compensate him if I have the chance to contact him again.

"ch!"

Xu Piao was sighing in her heart when she suddenly heard someone calling her name excitedly.

Xu Piao turned around and saw the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who had come to her paradise to look for her before... What was his name? Xu Piao couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Ch, do you still remember me?! I'm the Hall who looked for you before!" Hall greeted her happily, "I finally meet you in real life!"

"I remember you." Xu Piao nodded.

Hall was obviously even happier. He talked a lot about his admiration for her and said that they had been paying attention to the comments of the player Jiu Shiguang who had played her games on the Star Network. It can be seen how much influence her games had on those people. He praised her so much while talking.

"But they have all been blocked now, and there is still a lot of content that has not been uploaded," said Xu Piao.

"You want to see how they react, right?" Hall understood. "Wait, I'll find you a fake address and create a pseudonym to log in to the Star Network. The Alliance has banned quite a few people from posting."

Wow, there’s even a vest.

Xu Piao perked up a little and watched Hall skillfully turn on the light computer and operate it. By the way, he also pulled her into the local area network inside the Star Wanderer.

When entering the form to create a vest, Xu Piao casually entered a string of numbers as a code, and then saw a completely different star network.

The user who logged in with this fake address can enter and exit various discussion forums normally, see what everyone posts, and can also see a line of text behind the ID of each person who posted a discussion, which cannot be seen on the normal version of StarNet. That line of text represents the real address of the speaker.

"This was done by Zhuang Yin. Although he's not a very good person, his technology in network information is quite good." Hall muttered beside him.

Xu Piao listened to what Hall said, thought for a moment, and asked him, "Can this method be reversed, allowing Star Network users to access a local area network like yours?"

"There is no such function in the current local area network, but it should be possible to develop it if he spends some time to work on it," Hall replied.

Xu Piao seemed to be lost in thought.

If she could instead lure StarCraft players to a specially designated LAN, and then put her game there, wouldn't that allow people to play while the Alliance couldn't do anything about her game? Of course, as long as there was a fixed network address where StarCraft players could access it, it was only a matter of time before the Alliance came looking.

But in this case, the LAN can be set up in many locations, and if one is caught, it will be transferred to the next one, just like a hacker's zombie machine.

In this way, it almost becomes a cyber guerrilla war.

She looked through the discussions of the players in the forum - the discussion forums for her four games had all been blocked, and if players wanted to discuss something, they could only do so in the general discussion forum.

However, as the players continued to discuss, more and more people were blocked, and the remaining players seemed to realize something, and the discussion area fell into an eerie silence. Only a few people who didn't know what was going on looked at the discussion area, which was so lively that it was about to explode, and then so cold that it was about to freeze, and were confused.

"Mute them?" Xu Piao looked at the situation and felt like laughing. "This is a stupid move."

"Huh?" Hall was a bit bewildered. "This is the league's usual approach. Just ban it completely, and once no one talks about it, it'll naturally disappear. How could they have come up with such a stupid move?"

"If things really disappeared, how did you interstellar wanderers come about?" Xu Piao pointed his finger at the silent discussion area. "Perhaps, you want to know the story of a man named Dayu who controlled the floods? I originally planned to include it in 'Records of Mountains and Seas', but I haven't had time yet."

Hall sat up straight in an instant, even changing his address, "You go ahead."

"During the Five Emperors period, floods were rampant. The then-human leader sent a man named Gun to control the floods. Gun simply thickened and raised dams where the floodwaters passed, but for many years, the floods were still unresolved," Xu Piao recounted the story of Dayu's flood control. "Later, Gun's son Yu continued his mission to control the floods, but Yu didn't use Gun's methods. Instead, he dug many branch channels next to the main river channel to divert the floodwaters through these channels, thus reducing the flood."

"This is what we call 'it's better to unblock than to relieve, and it's better to guide than to relieve.'"

With the Alliance's gagging technique in hand, the only solution I have is like Gun building a dam. As the dam gets thicker and higher, one day the flood will break through the critical point, and then with a "boom", the dam will burst.

Hall was deeply shocked after hearing this and was lost in thought. After a long while, he sighed sincerely, "It's so great that you are on our side."

"You are a man of great wisdom!"

Xu Piao: “…Not really.”

On Earth, this kind of thing is clearly a truth that everyone who has read history will know.

I don’t know how many hours have passed, but the spaceship Xu Piao was riding on had already flown slowly back and forth above the third-magnitude star several times. Suddenly, a bright blue light appeared in the direction of the third-magnitude star’s planetary control center.

The protective shield that originally wrapped around the entire third-magnitude star turned blue after a brief fluctuation. Outside this protective shield, several more sturdy protective shields rose up. The logo of an interstellar wanderer team could be vaguely seen on the protective shield.

"We've got it! Leader and the others have taken control of the center!" Hall, who had been talking with Xu Piao for a long time, stood up suddenly with joy on his face. He rushed to the control panel and pressed several buttons. A blue exclamation mark appeared on the big screen in front of the control panel.

Several of the channels on the third-magnitude star that were originally closed slowly opened, and the spacecraft No. 3 that Xu Piao was riding on, as well as other spacecraft, flew into the docking channel and landed normally.

At the same time, on the alliance's planetary map, the area representing third-magnitude stars suddenly dimmed.

"What's going on?!" the surveillance personnel were shocked.

"What's wrong?"

"The third-class star... the third-class star is gone!"

"What?!" Everyone in the control room exclaimed in surprise. Some people rushed to the planetary map in disbelief, only to find that the third-magnitude star was really gone.

[Notice! Notice! The third-magnitude star has been occupied by interstellar exiles. All personnel heading to the third-magnitude star have lost contact. Notice...] 01 Intelligence issued a timely notification.

Now, there is no need for monitoring personnel to report it, everyone who should know knows that the third-class star is gone.

Someone among the alliance's senior officials crushed a pet gadget. "Xu Changping and Li Leran have been dead for so many years, and you still let those two kids cause so much trouble? They are useless!"

"What's the point of saying this now?"

"The impact of those games is far greater than what those two created in the first place. Who was it that suggested placing that girl on a third-class star to lure out Xu Changping's son and the remnants?"

"Didn't you agree to it at the beginning?"

"That's enough. Let's urgently send out the second generation combat robots first."

...Just with these words from the top, the second-generation combat robots were transported to the third-class star and launched an attack on the third-class star in the intention of reclaiming the planet.

But soon, this group of second-generation combat robots all returned empty-handed, and many of them were even left directly on the third-class stars.

Not only the Alliance, but also the Star Wanderers were extremely surprised by this game.

The top leaders of the alliance held another emergency meeting.

"You said there's an intelligence on a third-class planet that's almost on the same level as 01? How is that possible! 01 is the one we learned from...!"

"To say it's impossible is not absolute."

"Wait, you mean..."

"The robot that ran away with the spark earlier? Even under the influence of the spark, it shouldn't be possible..."

“…”

The Interstellar Wanderers were unaware of the Alliance's top management's discussion about 079. They only knew that their leader's sister was very good at spreading ideas through games, and that her robots were also very powerful, capable of controlling the second-generation combat robots sent from the first-class stars.

As a result, the alliance would be much more cautious if they attacked this side again, and for a while, a stalemate was formed where no one acted rashly.

On the third day after taking over the third-class star, the temporary jump channel was opened again. This time, one-third of the interstellar wanderers who stayed behind in the original base also came over. The spacecraft parking area of ​​the third-class star was filled with spacecraft of the interstellar wanderers.

The original residents of the third-class planet were very uneasy when the Interstellar Wanderers first occupied this place. However, after they learned that the leader of the Interstellar Wanderers had originally escaped from the third-class planet and came back this time because he stayed in the Alliance to attack his relatives who remained on the third-class planet, and after the person in charge of ideological propaganda in the Interstellar Wanderers team gave several speeches and propaganda, the natives of the third-class planet basically calmed down.

Those who were placed on the third-class stars had no sense of belonging to the alliance and had not enjoyed many benefits from the alliance. Naturally, they had no particular resistance to accepting a new management team.

Now Xu Piao doesn't have to worry about the holographic game cabin being stolen when she opens an "Internet cafe" on a third-class planet. This is because the local area network of the interstellar wanderers first covers third-class planets. After Xu Piao uploaded the four games to the local area network, it was the residents of third-class planets who had never played her games before who started playing them first.

On the third day, the situation on the third-class star had basically stabilized and the alliance did not launch any more rash attacks.

Li Sheng freed up some time and called over the main members of the Interstellar Wanderer team who were responsible for network information. Then, with Xu Piao present, he temporarily arranged for those members to help her.

"For the time being, the network information will be handled by others. You will all be responsible for helping Xu Piao build a stable virtual network that can be used openly." Li Sheng said, looking at Zhuang Yin who had been summoned. "Ah Yin, you too, don't be lazy this time. We need to build the virtual network as soon as possible."

"Okay." Zhuang Yin, who was specially named, agreed straightforwardly.

Xu Piao didn't interrupt Li Sheng while he was making arrangements. When he finished explaining everything he needed to, Xu Piao realized that he didn't have anything else to say. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let me tell you about my needs for this virtual network."

"First of all, this virtual network must be able to withstand the traffic of at least 10 billion people. This is the most basic. At that time, I need people from outside to come in through an address and a string of passcodes, and when the alliance discovers an attempt to attack the virtual network, they can be transferred painlessly. The transfer process has no effect on the operation of the game in the virtual network. Oh, by the way, because it will probably be transferred many times, one or two such virtual networks are definitely not enough. There must be at least a hundred or more spare ones. This step can just clone the data." Xu Piao said all his needs in one breath without any hesitation.

Zhuang Yin, who was originally quite calm, listened and the relaxed expression on his face gradually disappeared.

He even showed a look of disbelief.

"You want a few of us," Zhuang Yin pointed at the thirty or so people, including himself, "to build you hundreds of virtual networks capable of handling over 10 billion datagrams in just a few days?"

"Actually, it's safer to increase the reserve to more than a thousand. Ten billion might be an underestimate. Some people may have to wait in line a little longer." Xu Piao thought for a moment, "How about increasing it to 20 billion?"

"No one can do it." Zhuang Yin didn't even care that the leader was watching beside him, and simply denied it.

Xu Piao remained calm, "079 will help with it."

Even Zhuang Yin was speechless for a moment, "...then why don't you just let your robot do all the work?"

Xu Piao looked at Zhuang Yin who was objecting for a while without saying anything. He didn't say anything until Zhuang Yin felt uncomfortable all over. Then he looked away and said, "If there is no problem, let's start."

Even if Xu Piao trusts 079, such an important matter will not be handed over to 079 alone. After all, no one knows what accidents will happen in the future. If 079 completes it alone, then if something goes wrong on his side and the virtual network crashes, then the whole thing will crash. With the participation of other people, at least only part of it will crash, and those who participated in the production can still be rescued.
