Under the bewildered gazes of other players who thought they were acting like fools, they were completely won over by the realism of this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, the Moon Eclipse Clan's technology has made a leap forward; to think they could create such a realistic game world,\" the white-haired elder standing beside Yang Tianxuan exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianxuan did not respond to these words; the shock in his heart was already beyond description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long harbored the idea of testing weapon performance in a virtual environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once conducted weapon tests in \"Sin Land,\" a virtual game released by the Moon Eclipse Clan five years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the results were unsatisfactory, and he eventually chose to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, wanting to create a game that perfectly replicates real-world physical performance is harder than ascending to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had carefully analyzed the series of problems that needed to be overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the terrifying server load capacity required for this game, standards in all other aspects would have to be absolutely perfect, such as interaction frequency, data processing volume, and even image rendering quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, a virtual world needs to simulate all physical phenomena of the real world, including but not limited to gravity, lighting, materials, and sound; this requires computing power beyond human cognition to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of the physics engine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve perfect realism, every detail in the virtual world must be finely simulated, including buildings, vegetation, terrain, and weather changes; these details would greatly increase the burden on the data processing center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the massive amount of data generated in the game at any time needs to be processed and fed back in an extremely short period, including information generated by player input.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if a player destroys the environment in the game, the information needs to change the environment in real-time after being collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering various variable issues, creating a completely realistic game was nearly impossible in Yang Tianxuan's conception, because this is equivalent to creating a brand-new world, and the amount of resources consumed would also have to be 1:1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, creating a game that perfectly simulates Earth would theoretically require consuming the resources of one Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything before his eyes could not be fake; the Moon Eclipse Clan had truly used some unknown technology to create such a perfect virtual game without any flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While lamenting the huge technological gap between the Human Federation and the Moon Eclipse Clan, a flame rose in Yang Tianxuan's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of such a realistic virtual environment, they could fully exert themselves without worrying about environmental damage, personal safety, or a series of other troublesome issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I checked the shop; there is no equipment for sale that can support our weapon research, everything has to start from scratch... However, there are spirit stones for sale in the shop, perhaps we can first produce a batch of spirit energy firearms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yang Tianxuan nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Manufacturing powerful technological weapons requires solving a series of problems such as forging equipment, processing equipment, and measurement and calibration tools; starting from zero requires going through a tedious process of building from nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, without sufficient resources, they had no way to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But spirit energy firearms are different; this is one of the early weapon technologies provided by the Moon Eclipse Clan to humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weapons can be forged by changing the energy path of spirit ore, then inlaid with spirit stones to act as bullet drives, with spirit energy compression arrays inscribed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling the trigger, the firearm automatically draws spirit stone energy to compress it into a bullet shape inside, and launches it accompanied by the propulsion of internal spirit energy. Upon contacting the target, the unstable spirit energy bullet will instantly explode, forming area-of-effect explosive damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For early-stage land reclamation, this technology is clearly more practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's manufacture a batch of spirit energy firearms first.\" Yang Tianxuan affirmed his subordinate's suggestion at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a scruffy middle-aged man in the team asked in confusion:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, the problem is that all items in the shop require sacrificial power to purchase, and I searched the game's function panel and couldn't find a top-up function. Where are we going to get the startup capital to buy materials to make spirit energy firearms?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Tianxuan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the problem of having no startup capital, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you contacted Qin Ye? He entered the game before us; ask him how much sacrificial power he has that we can borrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just added him as a friend, I'll ask right now.\" A middle-aged man in his 30s in the team said, then summoned the friend list to try to connect with Qin Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the middle-aged man looked at Yang Tianxuan and said slightly awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He only has 239 points of sacrificial power on him, which is completely insufficient for us to use as startup capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's first acquire sacrificial power from other players; we'll pool the costs ourselves for now, and won't submit a funding application.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an idea, they immediately began to act, and dozens of messages for acquiring sacrificial power appeared in the regional channel, with an acquisition ratio of 1:20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these few messages were quickly drowned out by messages posted by other players, interspersed with a few teasing comments from players who thought they were dreaming, asking what the difference was between the price offered and robbery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Yang Tianxuan and the other members of the Weapon Research Department realize that the acquisition price they offered was too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chose to gradually raise the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From 20:1, it gradually climbed to an acquisition price of 100:1, but still, no players were willing to sell sacrificial power to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Yang Tianxuan completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately contacted Qin Ye, who had entered the game earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer he received surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of sacrificial power in the game had already risen from 50:1 to 150:1, and not many players were willing to sell the sacrificial power in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are mainly two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the consumption rate of sacrificial power is far greater than the production rate; the sacrificial power in players' hands is not even enough to improve their own strength, let alone sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, the price of sacrificial power has been maintaining growth, and players generally believe that the price of sacrificial power will continue to climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many \"brick-moving\" players also think that they should first consume sacrificial power to improve their strength, and then earn more sacrificial power after their strength is strong; the act of selling sacrificial power in the early stage will cause their own strength to fail to keep up with the growth rate of other players, leading to a sharp shrinkage in later gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the reason from Qin Ye, Yang Tianxuan fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to increase the acquisition price, their salaries could not withstand such consumption, and the process of applying for funds was too cumbersome and required time to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a top-up channel and unable to acquire sacrificial power at a reasonable price, Yang Tianxuan, who could not think of a solution, had to connect to Qin Ye via voice again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Ye, are there any ways to earn sacrificial power quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this stage, there are three ways to earn sacrificial power. The first is to go out of Imperial Tomb Village to hunt various types of monsters; secondly, it is to be very lucky to encounter mineable spirit plants during the process of exploring the world. Compared with the first two methods, I recommend the third method to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What method?\" Yang Tianxuan asked immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to the Gloomy Cave to mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1397,"2026-06-17T18:40:33.513Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","215010a256b7e8501fbe4fd6b487c319a148d3628dfba8f1391c736cbff25702","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-31","the-monsters-are-coming-chapter-29",373,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
