Chapter 155: Thought Guidance

The content of the document shocked everyone:

"Federal Hero Epic" will be an immersive historical experience module.

Players will play heroic figures from different historical periods, experiencing their growth journeys and spiritual realms.

But these "historical figures" all share a common trait: they embody the lofty qualities of collectivism, sacrifice and dedication, and service to the people.

Moreover, the prototypes of these figures all come from the history and culture of Yanhuang Guo.

"The first chapter: 'For the People', players play an ordinary soldier who gradually grows in the battle to defend the homeland."

"The second chapter: 'Iron Will', players experience the hardships of industrial builders, learning to sacrifice personal enjoyment for the collective good."

"The third chapter: 'Star Dream', players participate in space development, feeling the great aspiration of striving for humanity's future."

Each chapter is carefully designed with many emotional impact points.

When players see the "hero" sacrifice himself to save comrades, they will be deeply shocked.

When players experience the great sense of achievement from collective cooperation, the notion of individualism will quietly loosen.

When players immerse themselves in the grand narrative of striving for all humanity, narrow nationalism will naturally dissolve.

More importantly, the game uses the most advanced neural feedback technology.

Every emotional response of the players, every value judgment, will be precisely recorded and analyzed.

The system will dynamically adjust the plot content based on the players' responses to ensure the best "educational effect".

Thus, half a month later, the "Federal Hero Epic" went live officially.

"I heard this new module is especially shocking, better than all previous content!"

"I can't wait any longer!"

The first batch of testers were soldiers from the Eagle Sauce.

James is a typical American soldier, worshipping individual heroism, believing he is a born leader.

He put on a VR headset and entered the game world.

The screen shifted, and he found himself standing on a battlefield engulfed in war.

Around him were countless comrades, ahead lay vicious enemies.

"Soldier! Your mission is to cover the retreat of the main force!" the commander's voice rang in his ears.

James's first reaction was: "Why not let me go to the front to kill the enemy? What's the point of covering a retreat?"

But as the plot progressed, he gradually understood the meaning of this task.

Among the retreating soldiers were wounded comrades and civilians.

His covering action saved not just dozens of people, but the future of the entire unit.

When the last personnel withdrew safely, yet he himself was surrounded by the enemy, James first experienced the lofty feeling of fighting for others.

"This is the true hero," he silently said in his heart.

Similar plots are also happening to other players.

A noble officer from the OZ Alliance, in the game experienced the hard life of the working class, began to understand what true equality is.

A soldier from the Non-Union, in the virtual world participated in a grand construction project, felt the greatness of collective power.

Even more miraculously, the changes brought by these experiences are subtle and imperceptible.

The players did not realize their thoughts were changing; they just felt the game was very fun and meaningful.

Two months later, the first batch of test results came out.

"The effect exceeded expectations," reported the psychological assessment expert, "the soldiers who participated in the test showed significant improvement in collective cooperation ability, sacrificial spirit, sense of mission, etc."

"Most importantly, they identified with this change, even actively pursuing it."

"What are the specific numbers?" Lao Luo asked.

"Individualistic tendencies decreased by 60%, collective identity increased by 80%, loyalty to the Federal increased by 60%."

These numbers shocked everyone.

"This is more effective than any political education," Zhang Yunfeng exclaimed.

"Because this is not forced indoctrination, but an emotional experience."

Qin Hao explained, "When a person truly experiences fighting for the collective interest, he can never return to a selfish state."

But some also raised concerns.

"Is this perhaps... immoral?" an official asked cautiously.

"Morality?" Lao Luo countered, "Faced with the impending interstellar war, do we still have room to choose?"

"Moreover, we have not forced anyone to change anything. We merely gave them an opportunity to experience different lives, and they themselves chose to identify with these values."

Qin Hao added:

"Besides, the values we implant are themselves the finest qualities of human civilization. Unity, bravery, sacrifice, dedication—what's wrong with that?"

Soon, over two hundred million Federal soldiers worldwide completed the experience of the "Federal Hero Epic".

Not only them, the game is also open to all humanity. Ordinary civilians can also participate.

However, what they do not know is that this game also has something added.

That is—the consciousness virus.

This thing is a result researched from extraterrestrial precursors; it can accelerate the ideological transformation of people from other countries.

Qin Hao originally did not want to do this, but considering future development, he had no choice.

As time passed, the "Federal Hero Epic" game module, like a spiritual furnace,

will gradually transform soldiers and civilians from all over the world, with diverse thoughts, at the level of consciousness, into members sharing the same faith and values.

They no longer fight for a particular country, but for a common name—human civilization (that is, Yanhuang Civilization).

They no longer pursue the empty fame of individual heroism, but have come to understand the true meaning of collective honor and sacrifice and dedication.

Blue Star, Federal Command.

Luo Lao, Zhang Yunfeng, and the others looked at the reports in their hands, smiles of relief appearing on their faces.

"Success."

Zhang Yunfeng sighed, "We took only a few months to achieve the ideological unification that other civilizations might need decades to accomplish."

"Only now does this situation truly deserve to be called the Human Federal."

"This is all Xiao Qin's achievement."

Cheng Haitang looked at Qin Hao, who sat silently to the side, and said, "Using games to guide thought, plus a few little tricks, is nothing short of a stroke of genius."

However, Qin Hao's face showed little joy.

He looked at these reports, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Luo Lao, everyone,"

Qin Hao spoke slowly, breaking the relaxed atmosphere,

"What we are doing now is merely equipping this army with the strongest armor, teaching them the most effective tactics, and unifying their will."

"But this is not enough."

Everyone's gaze focused on him.

"Not enough?"

Zhang Xianzhong was somewhat puzzled, "Our army now, whether in physical quality, weapon equipment, or mental outlook, has reached the pinnacle of human history."

"Even facing that star empire, we would definitely have a fighting chance."

"I'm not talking about the physical level."

Qin Hao shook his head, his expression solemn, "Everyone, have you forgotten how that pioneer almost led to our entire army being wiped out?"
