Chapter 334: Chapter 334
The main interface that comes into view is almost like World War II, except there are only "Start" and "Settings" buttons.
Fang Ming clicked on settings for a quick look, just like World War II, it’s about pain, touch, or body fine-tuning, none of which are very useful.
Fang Ming backed out and clicked "Start".
The page then switched.
What appeared before him was a topographical map, laid out like the Four Crossings of the Chishui River.
However, the various Blue Army units were in place, and the original location for the Red side was vacant, marked as free to choose a location within the area.
Fang Ming clicked in the center of where the Red side originally was.
After choosing the starting location, the page flashed.
A setup page appeared, which made Fang Ming’s eyes light up.
Because although the number was still set at 30,000 people, there was much more freedom in choosing equipment, and Fang Ming quickly equipped his side.
The page flashed again, but this time it was an introduction to the Blue side’s troops, like....
"Chang Kaishen (Blue side commander-in-chief)"
"Personality: Obstinate, suspicious, changeable, both wooing and wary of local warlords."
"Military style: Encirclement with heavy troops, wary of warlords."
"Wang Jialie (Qian Army leader)"
"Personality: Indecisive, addicted to opium, dissatisfied with relying on the Central Army, but has to follow orders."
"Military style: Passive defense, little coordination."
"Zhou Hunyuan (Central Army second column commander)"
"Personality: Cautious and conservative."
"Military style: Sticking to orders, dependent on superiors."
Looking at these introductions, Fang Ming seemed to half understand:
"Is Polestar.... giving us individual personalities and styles to find a breakthrough?"
"For example, with cautious and conservative ones, we can create a diversion?"
"But it feels like something is off."
"Anyway, let’s start first."
Saying this, Fang Ming clicked again, this time fully entering the game.
Appearing in the mountains surrounded by peaks, Fang Ming called up a map screenshot, looked at it in the livestream, and commanded the troops to move out.
Time passed little by little.
Until noon, confused voices came from Fang Ming’s livestream room:
"This time I’ll arrange more heavy weapons."
Another afternoon passed.
Seeing himself bounced back to the main interface, Fang Ming rubbed his face:
"Too many heavy weapons slow down the march, there’s a gap in the southwest, I’ll try to break through from there."
Saying this, he started again.
Not only Fang Ming was facing challenges.
On the Sky Shark Live Platform, in just the "World War I," "World War II," and "Sequels" sections, nearly one-third of the streamers were challenging.
However, after battling for a full day.
Initially, being able to freely choose places and weapons brought some confidence.
After experiencing the day’s setbacks, everyone went crazy.
Some players thought Polestar would not make mistakes, so they used photonic supercomputers to throw in data on dozens of the Blue side’s generals.
Trying to find a breakthrough this way.
But without simulations, the photonic supercomputers made a mess of analyzing personalities and styles like "obstinate" and "waiting for orders."
Some just renewed photonic supercomputers and used up that month’s computing power in half an hour, without any results.
Keep in mind, this computing power is enough to simulate and create dozens of "World War II: Empire’s Rise," but now it’s consumed by a single battle inside....
The whole internet was buzzing.
Were it not for Polestar’s reputation, someone would have cursed already.
It was because of Polestar’s reputation that Blue Star players were self-doubting, am I really that bad?
But hell, even photonic computers are nearly burning virtual cabins analyzing this with no winnable outcome found.
Although photonic supercomputers have strong computing power, maybe a word or an action from a general can generate tens of thousands of possibilities.
And those tens of thousands of possibilities.
Coupled with the generals’ personalities like "obstinate," "waiting for orders," "passive defense," lead to countless more possibilities.
Virtual Body Sensing Pods are highly configured, but can’t withstand such consumption, even though photonic computers have infinite computing power, virtual cabin hardware has limits.
On Federation Headline, aside from the Federation military exercise, the topic of "Four Crossings of the Chishui River" was the hottest.
Because more than 20 million players have tried the challenge, yet no one has succeeded so far.
Sky Shark Live Platform.
In Mo Xiaomo’s livestream room.
At this moment, Mo Xiaomo, wearing a camouflage t-shirt and tactical gloves, was chatting with viewers in a very professional-looking manner:
"Got it, still me and Celestial Secret."
"I’ll unlock it live for everyone when the time comes, hhhhh."
"I feel like I could get a professional host certificate~"
"The voting is about to end."
"The first two are settled, just the last one left."
"Soviet Union brothers against the USA brothers, go go!"
"Only three minutes left!"
In Mo Xiaomo’s livestream room, the voting page of the Polestar Official Website was displayed.
Apart from the undisputed first place, the Republic, and the second, the Empire, only the third place was being contested between the players of the Soviet Union Camp and the United States Camp.
Almost every two or three seconds, the third place position would change.
