Long Yunxin had heard about the battle of Kalan.
That was Wu Yingqi's most critical link on the road to the pinnacle of power, and all subsequent hegemony and changes were due to this.
In this battle, Wu Yingqi "sacrificed" eight million civilians and wounded soldiers on Karan, wiped out the Supreme Command of the Holy Alliance's invading army, and took advantage of the opportunity to receive a large amount of Holy Alliance's military supplies and firmly Controlled more than a dozen border worlds.
Is it worth it to "sacrifice eight million to save tens of billions"?
This rather tangled question is also a popular debate topic that often appears in Feixing University's debate competitions.
Long Yunxin also thought about it briefly.
But at that time, she was sitting comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the comfortable temperature and exquisite food, with three or five close friends, either from the perspective of a member of the Star Sea Republic or even the speaker, or from the perspective of Black Star Emperor Wu Ying Qi's perspective, even from the perspective of "posterity people" who transcend Wu Yingqi and the top leaders of the Xinghai Republic, is purely a talk.
She had never tried to look at this matter from the perspective of an ordinary person who lived on the planet Karan at that time.
No, we can’t say “see” it, but “feel” it personally and become a witness to history.
Long Yunxin swallowed hard, feeling that his throat was fishy and ice-cold, his soul felt like it had fallen into an ice cave, and his internal organs were completely frozen.
But the whole body was extremely hot, and the skin emitted a burning pain, like an arc attack in an illusory world, which still remained deep in the bone marrow until this moment.
She stretched out her trembling hand and selected game characters with different identities.
These people...
Or they are the miners who have been living on the planet Karan, in the dark mines, dedicating their lives in obscurity and digging out raw crystal minerals.
Or the families of miners and smelting experts, teachers, doctors, nurses, and waiters living in the living area.
Even soldiers and combat heroes who were seriously injured in the previous stage of the battle and could not be transferred in time.
Although they are the most inconspicuous little cells in the entire civilization, there are countless wonderful and touching stories about them.
The ordinary young man who was originally just a miner at the lowest level, after the Holy Alliance invaders occupied the Karan planet, picked up a light energy impact pickaxe and a raw ore crusher, and became an elusive guerrilla deep in the underground mine tunnels covered with dense cobwebs and criss-crossing roads.
The doctors, nurses, and waiters who originally worked in the living area hid a large amount of supplies secretly and secretly supported them to the deepest part of the mine tunnel.
The seriously injured combat heroes held hands, shoulder to shoulder, leaning on crutches, supporting each other, and rushed towards the overwhelming Holy Alliance starships.
The one who impressed Long Yunxin most deeply was a young female teacher on Kalan Planet.
After the war invaded this small planet, she stepped forward to protect more than 20 primary school students in her class.
She secretly hid a flag of the Star Sea Republic and taught the children to sing the national anthem of the Star Sea Republic over and over again.
When the deafening roar of starships came from outside, these young voices condensed into the final city wall.
As she sang, she would say with tears in her eyes: "No matter where you drift in the Star Sea, never forget your hometown.
Remember, we come from the Star Sea Republic, from the Karan Star, and we are all Karan people!
" But all this
No matter the tenacious resistance of the guerrillas, the bravery of the disabled soldiers, the small persistence of the civilians, the crisp singing of the teachers and children... none of them were of any use.
Because, no matter what the "victory conditions" of each game character are, they cannot persist until dawn.
Everyone had the same ending: they were completely swallowed up by the thunder storm from the underground, and they were turned into dust together with their home planet Karan!
There are no miracles, no superheroes, no twists and turns and desperate counterattacks.
Destruction is their only future!
This is a game that will never win.
It can't even be called a "game", but some kind of holographic simulation and "cut-scene" that penetrates the human heart.
But there is an indescribable attraction that attracts Long Yunxin to play over and over again, and experience again and again the last joys, anger, sorrows, emotions, longing and disillusionment, hope and joy of the residents of Kalan when the end of the planet is approaching. despair!
The last cutscene focuses on the female teacher.
When Wu Yingqi's crystal bomb, which had been planted deep in the Karan Star, detonated all the purple thunder crystal resources on the entire planet, setting off a huge wave of thunder on the horizon, the female teacher was the first to discover it.
She immediately jumped up, opened her arms, faced the thunderous waves, shouted loudly, and protected all the children behind her.
Just like in the "Eagle and Chicken" game they used to play, she acted as the eagle and guarded every "chick" behind her butt.
The female teacher used this gesture to compete with the Black Star Emperor who was about to establish the true human empire.
Even though the bright light made her blind for a moment, there were still balls of magnificent flames dancing in the depths of her eyes.
She faced the thunderous waves, motionless and unyielding.
Until she and her children were torn into pieces by the arc and turned into smoke, she still maintained this posture, like a statue made of some mysterious substance. .
"Huh...huh...huh...huh..."
Long Yunxin covered his face tightly, letting tears flow from his fingers.

He trembled silently in the game room for a long time before recovering slightly.
This is simply a toxic game!
But she can't wait to try more game content.
Even a girl like her who doesn't like to play military strategy games, after experiencing everything on Karan Planet, can't wait to play the entire game, and wants to choose to become a member of the Star Sea Republic and a general of the Central Army. , the world lord of the border world, do everything you can to stop Wu Yingqi, stop the Black Star Emperor, and stop the True Human Empire!
He breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a dull pain deep in his brain.
Long Yun knew in his heart that this was the sequelae of staying in the game warehouse for a long time and severely distorting his time perception.
Can't play anymore.
She glanced at the time and prepared to exit the game room.
"Hey, half a day has passed!"
Long Yun secretly clicked his tongue.
She is a person with strong self-control and does not usually have the habit of indulging in the game world.
But the game "Civilization" does have an indescribable magic that makes people addicted and unable to stop at all.
I left the game room in a daze.
Many students around me had also completed the test, but they were not as chattering and excited as when they came just now.
They were huddled in the corner, thinking silently, with expressions on their faces sometimes in a daze, sometimes in a daze.
Confused, sometimes enlightened, and extremely wonderful.
There were even a few emotional girls who shed pearly tears just like Long Yunxin.
Perhaps, they also played the expansion pack "The Rise of an Empire", but what they saw was not the "Rise of an Empire", but the destruction of ordinary people one by one!
"Teacher Long!"
Seeing Long Yunxin approaching, the girls seemed to be grasping at straws in the torrent, and they all gathered around him.
"This game is too scary.
Is the continuation of civilization really so difficult?"
"I, I really don't know how to choose!
When I first played Wuying Civilization, I thought the sand barbarians were so hateful, and the Wuying people were too kind, almost too kind!
But when I changed the role and played a person in the hot A sand barbarian woman who grew old, got sick and died in the desert.
Seven or eight of her children were devoured by monsters and diseases.
After their lives were taken away by diseases, I felt that as long as my children can live a life like the Wuying people, I am willing to pay any price.
You can do anything, and you can believe in any gods or demons!”
"Karan Star!
Karan Star!
Is the destruction of Karan Star really inevitable?
I never knew what the concept of 'eight million people' was before.
Now I know, maybe..."
The girls burst into tears.
Normally at this time, enthusiastic boys would already come over to "Heroes Save the Beauties", comforting the girls with playful smiles, and eating tofu by the way.
But today, some boys who had just completed the test were sitting next to the game room, with sunken eye sockets and straight eyes, thinking quietly, wandering and wandering.
Long Yunxin couldn't resist, so he reluctantly made an excuse and said he wanted to find Li Yao.
Under the guidance of the staff, he escaped from the game center.
Li Yao was chatting and laughing happily with an elderly man with kind-faced features, fairy-like demeanor, and flowing white hair in an elegant house behind the game center.
Seeing Long Yunxin coming in, he immediately greeted him.
"How did you develop such a magical game?"
Long Yun didn't care about politeness and went straight to the point, "It's not a 'game' at all, right?
All the civilizations in the game really existed, and they were all destroyed, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yao admitted frankly, "After we took over the war base of the True Humanity Empire, we took apart each magic weapon unit and studied it.

Among them, the secret room used to brainwash cultivators and transform cultivators into immortal cultivators was what we studied.
The point!”
"We found that what is stored in this 'brainwashing room' is not just the history of the decline and fall of three civilizations, but as many as dozens of different cultivation civilizations."
"Perhaps, immortal cultivators can choose the most suitable brainwashing materials based on the characteristics of the brainwashing target!"
"We used these brainwashing materials as the basis, coupled with the materials of immortal cultivators bragging about the Black Star Emperor's illustrious martial arts, and continued to improve and strengthen them, and finally became "Civilization" and its first expansion pack "The Rise of the Empire" !”
"As for whether the content of the game is real, of course it is not completely real."
"On the one hand, there must be a lot of embellished and subtle elements in the original data of the True Human Empire, so we cannot completely believe it."
"In the process of adapting it into a game, we also hope to add more diversified content to make the reasons for each world's destruction richer and more universal."
"So, it's not 100 percent historically accurate."
"But all the calculation logic, as well as the various reactions of the virtual characters, are infinitely close to 'reality'.
In other words, in the depths of the vast sea of stars, these things are indeed 'possible' to happen!"
