Meng Lichuan's mind was in a mess.
She knew the impact of this peak showdown.
Before the war started, the captain and even some senior officials from the Dark Moon Foundation explained to them very seriously that the outcome of this strategic exercise would not only influence the reaction of public opinion, but would even affect the voting results of the parliament.
The future of countless people is in their hands.
That's why Meng Lichuan worked so hard, even if he burned his own brain, to squeeze out the ultimate computing power to complete his mission.
In the middle of the battle, browsing the forum results showed that this was indeed the case.
Public opinion polls were closely related to the progress of the battle.
When the "Moon Demon Team" had a slight advantage, more people supported sending troops.
When the "Blood Shadow Team" gradually formed an overwhelming victory, more people opposed sending troops.
Now, their Moon Demon team has been completely defeated, which means that the entire federal expeditionary force has been annihilated.
Shouldn't the poll results have plummeted?
How could it be that more and more people support sending troops, showing a one-sided trend?
"What exactly happened?"
Meng Lichuan asked stupidly, "Sister Taozi, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"
"I'm right, and you heard it right.
The result is indeed unexpected.
I'm still dizzy and haven't figured out what it means!"
Jiang Baitao said with a smile, "However, the poll results obviously did not become like this for no reason.
In the three days when you were in coma, no, since the peak showdown just started five days ago, a lot of things happened.
Let me explain it to you.
"First of all, a small game popped up on the forum."
"Small game..."
Meng Lichuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"You know, this peak showdown between the Moon Demon Team and the Blood Shadow Team has received strong official support, and has even become a tool for the official to explain the situation and policies to the public, regardless of the Dark Moon Foundation, the military, or the federation including the Yaoshi Group.
All the major sects have activated their propaganda machines, allowing almost all people in the federation to know and participate in it.
Tens of billions of people are watching online at the same time, setting the most exaggerated record in the history of the "Civilization" game and becoming the focus of everyone's attention. , the heat breaks through the sky.
"It can be said that every federal person knows about this matter.
In the past few days, even if they don't watch the live broadcast, they will pay attention to it through forums and news."
Jiang Baitao said, "But, to be fair, the 'Glory Expedition' expansion pack is too professional.
It is simply more boring and complicated than the military's war games and simulation sandboxes.
It is all about data, information, icons, etc.
It takes a long time, and three to five days is simply not enough to finish a battle.
"Ordinary people simply don't understand what we are doing, let alone spend days and nights on such a boring thing.
So, in order to attract attention, relieve people's fatigue, and increase their participation, the organizers—— The Dark Moon Foundation behind us has teamed up with the production team of the "Civilization" game to launch a small game.
"No, I later learned that this 'little game' is not trivial at all.
It can be regarded as a companion chapter of 'Glorious Crusade', called 'Dark Invasion'."
"Dark Invasion?"
Meng Lichuan murmured, "New expansion pack?"
"Yes, the target group of 'Glorious Expedition' is professional players, cultivators and military personnel with excellent computing power.
Due to the confidentiality level, it is impossible for ordinary players to access the key data - 'Dark Invasion' is approachable.
More, its target group is tens of thousands of ordinary users, it does not have too complicated calculations and operations, and the sound and light effects are also delicate and realistic, giving people an immersive feeling of being immersed in the dark. " Jiang Baitao called up the introduction interface of "Dark Invasion", the sister chapter of "Glorious Crusade", from his portable computer, pointed out the characteristics of this game to Meng Lichuan one by one, and then said, "The quality of the game itself is extremely outstanding, and it has excellent performance.
The gimmick of the "Glorious Crusade" sister chapter, and also took advantage of the whole When everyone in the Federation was paying attention to our peak showdown, they advertised heavily in relevant forums and live broadcast channels, and even pushed it directly to users.
Sure enough, once it was launched, it attracted countless eyeballs within a few hours and became the " The most popular expansion pack on the Civilization platform.
"The audience originally came to see our peak showdown, but they couldn't understand it after watching it for a long time.
When they were impatient, they were suddenly pushed by the official to have such a 'sister chapter'.

Anyway, you have nothing to do, so let's give it a try Well, what do you think?"
Meng Lichuan thought about it seriously and nodded: "Yes, if it were me, I would definitely try a little game with such a gimmick.
Then, what is this little game about, and how could it be consistent with the polls?
Did it end up being related?"
Jiang Baitao smiled slightly and clicked on the detailed introduction of "Dark Invasion".
Meng Lichuan was immediately attracted by the scenes of corpses and rivers of blood, and was even a little frightened.
"Since it is a sister chapter of the 'Glorious Crusade', there is of course a certain internal connection.
The setting background of 'Dark Invasion' is that after the failure of the 'Glorious Crusade', the victors in the center of the star sea integrated the resources of hundreds of rich worlds.
The story of the massive invasion of the Federation on the border of the Star Sea and the complete annihilation of the Federation.”
Jiang Baitao said, "Although it is a small game, it has a high degree of freedom and realism.
You can choose to become an ordinary soldier of the Federation Army, face overwhelming, dense enemies that cover the stars, and fight until you run out of ammunition and food.
Until the blood dries; you can also pretend to be Play as a helpless federal civilian, trying to save his family in the post-war purgatory; you can also play the captain of a civilian transport ship, fleeing hastily with tens of thousands of people and limited supplies, towards an even colder world. and fleeing from the depths of the barren sea of stars.
"And the most interesting plot is the origin of the name of this mini-game.
In 'Dark Invasion', you can play the manager of a refuge.
In order to avoid the ravages of powerful enemies in the center of the star sea, you and your tribe have Hidden in underground shelters for thousands of years and even Tens of thousands of years have passed, and under the squeeze of extremely harsh environments, your humanity has been peeling off, your emotions have gradually become distorted, and even your appearance has been distorted beyond recognition.
You are like lizards and poisonous snakes, enduring The never-ending invasion of darkness."
Jiang Baitao said and clicked on a video advertisement for the mini-game "Dark Invasion".
The ad is not long, but it extravagantly uses ten seconds of darkness and silence to attract attention.
When Meng Lichuan wondered whether the video was stuck, a sharp and sharp scream suddenly came from the depths of the darkness.
Then, a monster that looked like a human but not a human, a ghost but not a ghost, and wrapped in a black carapace, suddenly burst out of the darkness.
It jumped out, and with the three-dimensional special effects, it almost jumped into Meng Lichuan's face.
"ah!"
Meng Lichuan was startled, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated by half a beat, "Sister Taozi!"
"Ha, it's a surprise.
I was also shocked when I played it for the first time - basically, this game was made as if it was deliberately designed to scare you, make you angry, and make you extremely depressed and desperate. " Jiang Baitao said, "No matter what role you choose or what plot line you take, the result will be a dead end.
"You choose to be a member of the Federation Army, or even the commander of the Federation Army or a cultivator who can move mountains and seas.
What's the use?
Faced with the attack of millions of starships that have integrated all the resources in the center of the star sea. , even if I give you dozens or a hundred giant weapons, I won’t be able to crush you, it will be a complete crushing!
"What about the civilians?
Not to mention, no matter whether the enemy is a member of the Holy Alliance or a cultivator, they will not let go of even a single civilian.
Although the Federation is big, where can we escape?
The result is that people will not be killed for me, but for me, no matter what.
Died by a thousand swords by the enemy?
"Escape to the depths of the Star Sea.
Ha, we are already at the end of the Star Sea.
If we escape further, it is even less likely to find any resources.
The size of one or two starships is simply not enough to support the effective operation of a society. , in the end, it was a tragedy of people killing people and people eating people - were there many such examples in the flying star world in the past?
"Escape to a shelter deep in the earth and not come out for hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years?
Yes, both the Holy Alliance and the Empire pay attention to the rate of return on resources.
It is really not worth it for just a few hundred civilians. , turning over the entire earth's crust - but the result of doing so is It is the theme of this expansion pack, 'Dark Invasion'.
Darkness invades not only the human body, but also our most precious emotions and hearts.
When tens of thousands of years later, our descendants emerge from the darkness again, Will anyone admit that they are real human beings?"
"this……" Meng Lichuan looked at the "Dark Invasion" game videos uploaded by countless players, especially the endings full of pain, terror and despair.
The more he watched, the more chilled and trembling he became.
He whispered, "This, this is not like an ordinary one." game."

"It really doesn't feel like a game, but rather like history that has happened countless times, and the future that seems inevitable and is about to come again."
The smile on Jiang Baitao's face disappeared without knowing when, and was replaced by a faint haze.
Her eyes were filled with black mist.
Behind the mist, there may be unwillingness or fear, "If we don't send troops, or We sent troops but lost.
This is the outcome that we, all our relatives and the entire civilization have to face. " "boom!"
Thousands of "dark invasion" videos flooded into Meng Lichuan's mind, turning into turbulent waves and bombarding her fragile faith, causing her to subconsciously say, "This is impossible!"
"How is it impossible?"
Jiang Baitao spread his hands and said, "Do you think it is impossible for the Holy Alliance to continue to advance towards the Federation after devouring the Empire, or do you think that all the resources of the Holy Alliance and the Empire are not enough to crush the Federation?
"Please, even now, the power of the Federation and the Empire may not be able to defeat the Holy Alliance, let alone when the time comes, twice as many Holy Alliance will destroy a small and helpless Federation!"
