Ten days later.
The base camp of the Society of Light.
Zhou Guangyuan and his group, who had been "traveling merchants" outside for nearly three months, finally returned.
When they saw their cycling team, the three members who stayed behind were so excited that they almost cried.
"Boss, you are finally back."
"I thought you had fallen into your comfort zone and completely abandoned us."
"If you don't come back, I don't want to take care of those ten acres of corn anymore. I'm going to run away!"
They all complained and had a lot of resentment in their hearts.
After all, they had agreed to be away for about a month, but Zhou Guangyuan and the others didn't come back until the corn they planted was almost ripe.
"Xiaojian, Caicai, brother, we are back now. We encountered an accident that time and were detained by someone. Fortunately, we escaped safely. We also promise that this situation will not happen again."
Zhou Guangyuan patted their shoulders and made repeated assurances.
All in all, after a series of separations and twists and turns, the ending was ultimately good, and joyful sounds soon rang out in the camp.
I sorted out what I gained during this period.
In the next half month, they not only harvested the corn in the fields, but also got better farm tools, reclaimed hundreds of acres of land, and planted a large number of fruit trees, corn, wheat and some vegetable crops.
Although the disputes outside are getting bigger and bigger.
There are even groups of players with more than a thousand members. They are fighting for some unknown resource. Many places are bloody and violent, and scenes of Jianghu stories are being played out.
If the death penalty in this game wasn't so severe, the server would probably be engulfed in war and the killing would be fierce.
But Zhou Guangyuan found it a little hard to understand. He didn’t understand why those player forces were killing each other.
"To monopolize dungeon resources? To monopolize certain precious minerals? But there are no dungeons or minerals in the Tectonic World, only endless grasslands."
"To occupy more land? But the map of the constructed world is almost boundless, with an average area of over 7,000 square kilometers per person. It's absolutely vast and sparsely populated, so there's simply no way to occupy all the territory. It's no problem to move to another place after shooting. There's room for you everywhere."
"It's not about competing for rare equipment or magic weapons. It's completely different from other virtual games. Everything here is created by the players themselves. Players are the most core resource, but these resources are engaged in a war of attrition."
Zhou Guangyuan shook his head, feeling that those player forces that were engaged in fighting and killing each other were not competing for resources at all, but were wasting and consuming resources meaninglessly.
During these days of farming, I have experienced the fulfillment and joy of the construction process. I have watched brick and tile materialize and take shape in my hands. The ever-improving beautiful life is about to become a reality. The sense of accomplishment is really indescribable.
But I am really happy in my heart.
Even if there are a few teammates who always complain, say they are tired, and try various ways to be lazy during the work process, this is also part of the happiness.
He likes this kind of life.
He felt that this should be the true meaning of the game.
Farming.
He likes this pure kind of farming very much. Deep down, he may be a farmer.
But the same old saying still applies: wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
Even if there are no dungeons, magic weapons, monsters, cities, etc. to compete for resources, the "evil" and "goodness", "greed" and "duty" among the players will eventually conflict and stage scenes of grievances and hatred.
If you don’t have strong enough self-defense capabilities, the next time you encounter an overbearing and brutal force, you won’t be able to farm in peace even if you want to.
So while reclaiming farmland and orchards and building brick and tile houses, Zhou Guangyuan and his team were also thinking hard about how to improve the self-defense capabilities of the "Light Society" so that when faced with threats and intimidation from player forces of more than a hundred people, they could use force to repel them instead of considering abandoning the camp and moving elsewhere.
This requires self-defense weapons with sufficient deterrent power.
However, apart from sharp cold weapons, Zhou Guangyuan and his team couldn't even construct a pistol. After all, they had hardly ever come into contact with any hot weapons in reality.
As for automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and even light and heavy artillery, it is even more impossible to construct them because they simply don't understand them.
Fortunately, one day when Zhou Guangyuan was browsing the official website forum, his eyes lit up and he saw a very magical weapon designed by a player.
This weapon has a simple structure and its principle is clear at a glance. Most importantly, its power is far greater than that of conventional thermal weapons.
Laser gun.
A cane-shaped high-power laser gun.
It's about the size of an ordinary walking stick.
The instantaneous power exceeds 5.
The shooting range is over 2000 meters.
The maximum duration is more than 5 seconds.
Because it is a direct-aiming weapon, its accuracy is far superior to that of bullet weapon systems that are easily affected by humidity, temperature, wind speed, gravity, and recoil.
It can be said to be a super weapon that can eliminate thermal weapons.
The design principle of this weapon is even more amazing.
Zhou Guangyuan took the schematic he had drawn and said to his teammates:
"I have to say, the player who designed this game is, even if he's not a genius, at least he's a brilliant genius."
"He came up with the idea of placing a special glass material with a light reflectivity of 100 into a cane. This would allow light to continuously reflect inside, ultimately allowing all photons to converge and be emitted from the end at the same parallel angle."
"As for how to generate a large number of photons, that player came up with the idea of a reaction between matter and antimatter, converting everything into light energy. Every time we gently pull the trigger, billions of antimatter atoms enter the reaction chamber and react with the common nitrogen in the air, releasing a large amount of energy."
