~13 min read 2,463 words

The six major federations on Blue Star truly underestimated the war potential of "Earth"."

And they didn't expect that war would develop like this."

Fighting and not fighting are ultimately different."

Their battles that only existed in fantasies, and small-scale frictions, how could they be as ruthless as the fighting in [2022]."

Starting from the [World War II] series, they were shocked beyond measure."

Training frantically."

Thinking they had gotten used to the rhythm of war."

As a result, [Modern Warfare] not only stunned the people of "Earth", but the speed of the push, and the atrocities in the war refreshed the worldview of Blue Star."

When they got used to [Modern Warfare]."

When they started training for [2022], they realized that war is really getting more progressive and more cruel the more it is fought."

At the beginning of [2022], the tactics of the Russian Federation and the Ukraine Federation, perhaps because they hadn't fought for many years, still had the shadow of World War II."

But after a few months of conflict between the two sides."

The battlefield situation began to change."

First, it was a war of attrition, a war of public opinion; even if the tactical value of [Bakhmut] was greatly reduced, no one retreated."

Because this represented the "political determination" of both sides."

It taught the soldiers of the six major Blue Star federations a lesson."

Watching countless lives fill this bottomless pit, just because both sides needed political propaganda."

The impact this brought to the soldiers of the six major Blue Star federations was not small."

Immediately followed by the appearance of drones."

And with the appearance of drones, they suddenly found that their previous training seemed to have no effect."

This drone thing... is too omnipotent."

The cost is also too cheap."

Who researched it?"

An armored tank worth millions of dollars is traded off by a drone worth a few hundred to a thousand dollars in one charge."

There was no such tactic before."

Perhaps it was because the technology wasn't enough before."

But after fighting for a few months, it updated to this extent."

The soldiers of the six major Blue Star federations."

Had to admire the creativity of the "Earthlings"."

After all, they watched the whole process of this war starting from the battle for [Antonov Airport], and the strength of the Russian Federation and the Ukraine Federation at that time."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were evenly matched."

One side used the decapitation tactic that only had miraculous effects in World War II."

One side had already fought to the capital Kyiv, and it took 4 hours to mobilize troops."

But that was the situation."

A few months later."

It had evolved into a drone war between the two sides."

The soldiers, tanks, and armored troops below were basically judged to be destroyed when they encountered drones."

Since the six major Blue Star federations were all on the receiving end."

They didn't discuss any effective tactics for a while."

After all, dealing with drones requires high-tech equipment; although Blue Star doesn't lack such equipment, it cannot be brought into the game."

But fortunately, the six major Blue Star federations asked Shen Qinghan about it."

Shen Qinghan replied that it would be promoted in stages; now they are experiencing the plot of being targeted by drone tactics, and subsequent drone-related content will be opened."

Having received such a reply, the six major federations accepted it."

Otherwise, according to this plot, there is really no way to fight."

They can only continue to train, and then think about whether there is any good way to reduce casualties when facing drones."

On the other side."

Polar Star Game Company, Headquarters."

In the President's office."

Shen Qinghan and Zhao Ming sat on the sofa, Zhao Ming looked at the company's revenue for this month, and Shen Qinghan looked at the Federation Headlines and said: "Are you going to the [Anti-War Competition] awards ceremony, or am I?"

"This year is expected, we didn't win the championship."

After all, we already won the championship last year; if we won it consecutively, I'm afraid people would say there was some black box operation."

And the games participating this year."

Are also extended from the [World War II] series."

Two years."

For games with the same theme, it's too difficult to win consecutive championships."

But we still made it into the top three."

For Polar Star, that's enough."

After all, the works participating this year are of the same theme as last year."

Zhao Ming said: "You go."

"I'm not interested."

"I need to research the next development direction."

Zhao Ming looked at the company's financial report."

The [Huaxia] series of gourmet restaurants are making money."

The [World War II] series of Earth surroundings are making money."

And the game has also brought a huge player base to Polar Star Company, plus the game platform, game forum, although the games are not charged."

But just relying on these huge bases, the peripherals brought, and the benefits of gourmet food."

It is enough to support Polar Star Company to survive forever."

As long as we don't do anything stupid and keep updating the DLC, Polar Star Company can continue forever, and even become one of the top 100 companies on Blue Star."

But it seems there is nothing else to do."

Zhao Ming looked at the financial report."

After all, as long as we update a DLC every once in a while, there is really nothing to toss about."

Zhao Ming thought for a moment and looked up at Shen Qinghan: "You say..."

"How is the movie market?"

Shen Qinghan was stunned, then said: "The movie market is not small."

"But compared to games, it's a bit small."

"Why?"

"Do you want to start a film and television company?"

"What about the game aspects?"

Zhao Ming said: "I'm considering whether to make some special plot dungeons next, or develop the expansion of the movie aspect."

"Mainly the characters in 'Earth'."

"Many people's legendary experiences can be made into movies."

"And..."

"Playing games can only experience and contact the deeds that some celebrities participated in."

"And movies can show the life of celebrities in 'Earth'."

"It can bring different impacts from many aspects."

"The most important thing is."

"These plots have already been completed."

"Just let the photonic supercomputer render it, and then through editing, it can be presented completely."

"We are equivalent to having a complete plot library."

"As long as we pick some from it and render them, we can harvest a lot of feedback and praise from the audience, of course... there is also a possibility of being sprayed as a bad movie."

Zhao Ming said with a smile."

But Shen Qinghan took a slight breath."

No other reason."

This method is really feasible."

The photonic supercomputer on Blue Star has overflowing computing power and can render any plot at will."

But the plot movies rendered by individuals are mostly crudely made."

That is, the picture is passable, but the plot is a mess; personal appreciation is barely watchable, but no one will watch it when taken outside."

Because everyone can render, if the plot cannot attract people, then who will watch your movie."

That's why Shen Qinghan said the movie market is small."

Because in this era where everyone can make movies, only those movies rendered by geniuses or teams after careful plot production can be accepted by the public."

And this also led to the high threshold and small quantity of the film industry."

Although Blue Star has a large population."

But not everyone has the leisure to carefully carve the script; the photonic supercomputer is an aid after all, although one sentence can be expanded into ten sentences, barely retaining the original meaning."

But when expanded to a hundred sentences, a thousand sentences, it has already changed beyond recognition."

So the movies on the market are almost all produced by teams, and a small number of personal movies are also carefully polished and rendered by some geniuses."

But Polar Star here."

There is no such cumbersome procedure at all."

Because from the [Huaxia] series starting from the Qin Dynasty, to the later versions of Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang... etc."

These can find countless characters to show individual deeds."

Integrating the lives of some popular historical figures into a movie or biography can be completed just by editing."

Not to mention the historical celebrities in [World War II]."

Blue Star players in the past contacted them through the plot, or short CGs, to understand the highlights of those characters."

But what if you watch their experiences completely?"

Showing the life of those celebrities, from the dreams and hardships of childhood, to the confusion and struggle of youth, to World War I, World War II, until the end of the hero, etc."

Hiss—"

The more Shen Qinghan thought about it, the more she felt the feasibility of this movie."

Because unlike other people or teams, who need careful polishing."

If Polar Star makes movies, the script is in "Earth", just pick out the data of any person and render the past."

And with the current computing power of the photonic supercomputer."

As long as Zhao Ming selects the tasks to be rendered and retrieves the life data of the relevant characters, he can render as many as he wants."

Batch rendering."

For the kind of careful polishing by individuals and teams, it is a dimensionality reduction strike."

After all, there is no precedent for this."

And the player stickiness of other games is not as high as the [World War II] series, but if this is done, other large games will probably imitate it."

After all, they all have a complete worldview; they didn't think in that direction before and didn't detail the life of NPCs."

Starting last year."

With Polar Star Company, a game company that even fully renders the life of ordinary NPC residents."

Also made many people pay attention."

Because currently on Blue Star, games like the [World War II] series, where every NPC has a detailed process of life, are unique."

Other companies have paid attention."

But it is also detailing some important NPCs."

And if Polar Star's movies really get started, there will definitely be no shortage of imitations."

Then the first batch must produce a lot of character movies and biographies."

Shen Qinghan was more and more moved, and asked: "Do you have a plan?"

"What are you going to render first?"

Zhao Ming said: "That must be the heads of state of the [World War II] series."

"Or biographies of some famous generals."

"For example."

"The three famous generals of the Empire."

"Manstein, Guderian, Rommel; in the previous plot, players only contacted them from the player's perspective."

"If rendered into a personal biography."

"Players can see the inner activities, choices, and the ending of this character when commanding a famous battle."

"These are angles that players have not experienced."

"And it is also a complete display of a flesh-and-blood 'character'."

"No longer the high-ranking famous general in the plot."

"Players will find that they also have troubles, and they also have times of hesitation."

"This will make the characters in the plot more three-dimensional."

"For example."

"The President of the American Federation, the one who crossed World War II."

"Players only felt the power of the American Federation from the American Federation at that time, and didn't know that the American Federation President at that time was also a ruthless character."

Hearing this."

Shen Qinghan became interested: "How ruthless?"

According to her understanding of the World War II plot, the heads of state of various countries in the world at that time seemed to be very powerful, whether it was the Empire, the Soviet Federation, or the British Commonwealth..."

But it seems that the one from the American Federation was ignored."

Now that I think about it."

It seems that the American Federation President at that time was also very powerful."

After all, he was standing in the C position at that time."

How could such a "plot character" not be a simple person."

Zhao Ming touched his chin: "You have seen Polar Star Company's financial report, right?"

"Is the tax law of the Daxia Federation reasonable?"

"But do you know that at that time, the American Federation in the plot, to what extent did it collect taxes from those ladies?"

Shen Qinghan was stunned and said: "Hmm... 49%?"

It's already close to half, it can't be more than half, right?"

Zhao Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Turn it over."

Shen Qinghan was stunned, then widened her eyes:"

"94%?"

"Hiss—"

"Really?"

"Will anyone pay taxes like this?"

"Are they not afraid of rebellion?"

She thought 49% was already a lot, nearly half, but Zhao Ming said 94%!"

94% of profits turned over, the remaining 6% probably all need to pay wages."

Working for nothing?"

Will anyone really do this?"

This time."

Shen Qinghan was really interested in that American Federation President."

Especially his life experience and his means."

Zhao Ming said: "Of course not afraid."

"Because of the world environment at that time."

"Either be sent to the Empire's gas chamber, or be hung on the Soviet Federation's street lamp; if you compare it like this."

"The American Federation at least lets you live."

"Looking at it this way."

"Is it very good to collect 94% of your tax?"

Shen Qinghan's mouth twitched."

Indeed."

Compared to being sent to a gas chamber and hung on a street lamp, although 94% of the tax was paid, at least they were still alive... just... Shen Qinghan thought of something: "Speaking of which."

"I remember he died before World War II ended, right?"

"Could it be..."

Zhao Ming shook his head: "That's not it."

"It's just normal aging and death."

"After all, he was already in a wheelchair, and his illness was sudden."

"But later the Roosevelt family was basically suppressed."

Shen Qinghan nodded."

This is understandable; who made the situation of World War II special? Both sides were dead, only the American Federation could live, so you have to accept it no matter how you are cleaned up."

But the war is over..."

The power of money is also terrible."

From Shen Qinghan's perspective, she could endure paying 94% tax when her life was at stake, but once she recovered."

There was no threat to life."

Then..."

I'm afraid it's not just her who thinks so."

The other guys who were taxed 94% are probably thinking the same thing."

After all, no one wants an ancestor on their head."

Shen Qinghan said: "You organize it first."

"What about the special plot dungeons?"
