Cheng Xing's game development will take some time to complete.

Therefore, Lin Xuan first uploaded "Star Wars: Dark Campaign" created by Yun Tianming to the database.

He then tried out the actual gameplay.

The entire game begins with the Dark War.

More than two thousand star-class warships were arrayed in formation, densely scattered throughout space. The blue tail fins spewed from the spaceship engines looked as if they had ignited more than two thousand blue stars in the cosmos.

Their metallic hulls reflected the sunlight, making the entire fleet look imposing. The streamlined design perfectly highlighted the aesthetics of violence, as if no enemy could defeat them.

But the game's mission is quite interesting; it actually requires the player to escape!

Yes, players need to randomly take on a role and control the spaceship they are on to escape. The spaceship that escapes the slowest will be obliterated by an unknown force of rules.

The system will calculate the distance the spaceship escapes based on its original coordinates. The faster and farther it escapes, the more points you will get in the game.

Lin Xuan's first role was as a helmsman on the ship "Eye of Truth".

The Eye of Truth is positioned in the third echelon of the entire space fleet, slightly to the left.

After the game started, Lin Xuan tried to forcefully turn the ship's rudder according to the game's instructions, causing it to deviate from its original formation.

The spaceship then accelerated sharply, attempting to break away from the group and head into the distance.

As a result, the "Scepter of God" behind them launched an attack on them immediately.

Two red laser beams swept across the bridge of the Eye of Truth, cleaving the spaceship in two as easily as cutting tofu.

Before the crew on the spaceship could even react to what was happening, their bodies were exposed to the sky because the temperature control system had been lost.

In this absolute zero environment, the liquids in their bodies began to boil and evaporate rapidly, ultimately leading to their death from ruptured blood vessels and internal tissues.

The word "failure" appeared in large letters in front of Lin Xuan.

He then played another game, and the outcome was the same as before.

This time, he chose to take on the role of captain, successfully maneuvered his ship, and activated the defensive shields ahead of schedule.

However, a heavy cargo ship blocked its way, preventing it from passing smoothly, and it was ultimately eliminated by the rules.

After testing the game several times and confirming that there were no problems, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

……

Crisis Era 6, April.

Cheng Xing was faster than expected, and in less than four months, he handed over the last two games in the Star Wars series to Lin Xuan.

After a simple test, Lin Xuan was quite satisfied. Indeed, it was the right choice to have Yun Tianming work for her. Whether it was the construction of the Super Dream World or the release of the Star Wars game, Yun Tianming played a crucial role.

"Zhang Xiang, help me contact the PDC and tell them I need to hold a hearing for the Wallfacers."

Lin Xuan called out for a long time, but found that no one answered her, which surprised her.

"Zhang Xiang is on vacation, and he said he wants me to go with you."

Shi Qiang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked out from the house next door.

After a year of recuperation, Da Shi's health looked much better than before, and Lin Xuan also gave him some medications to improve his physical function during this period.

Shi Qiang is now even more physically fit than he used to be.

"Hey bro, what have you been doing to scare that kid like that?"

Shi Qiang said with a smile.

"He told me at the time that he would rather go to the narcotics division than be your handover officer anymore. I was very surprised. Is being your handover officer that scary?"

"Maybe he just wants to take a vacation."

And so, Lin Xuan and Shi Qiang traveled together to New York, and almost nothing happened along the way.

This hearing for the Wallfacers was rather quiet.

Of the five wall-faced individuals, one gave up, one was arrested, one went into hibernation, and one took a vacation.

Lin Xuan was the only one who attended this hearing for the Wallfacers.

With the Wallfacer Project having reached this point, even the PDC (Programme for the Development of the Wallfacer) was unsure whether it should continue.

However, what made him feel a little gratified was that an old acquaintance was standing on the stage at this meeting.

"Ms. Sai, it's been a long time."

Lin Xuan still remembers that three years ago, she received her file from Ms. Sai here and became a Wallfacer.

Sai also nodded slightly to Lin Xuan in acknowledgment.

“Mr. Lin Xuan, it’s been a long time. You look almost the same as you did three years ago, still so young.”

This is actually the effect of taking RX cell division and regeneration fluid.

Not only Lin Xuan, but also Ding Yi, Wang Miao, Chang Weisi, Luo Ji, Zhang Beihai, and some key members of the Space Force, all took this drug.

Their growth has been suppressed to a very, very slow pace; there has been almost no noticeable change in the past three years.

At the meeting to reinforce the future, almost all the attendees took this potion, which extended their lifespan by about a thousand years.

This matter ultimately had two outcomes.

First, all of these people were appointed to high-ranking military and political positions. After all, longevity is a good thing for the upcoming Trisolaran War four hundred years from now.

Secondly, Lin Xuan handed over the formula for this medicine to PDC, but they soon discovered that it was almost impossible to replicate the same product. They conducted three or four experiments in a row, all of which ended in failure.

The meeting began quickly. Since Lin Xuan had taken the initiative to propose the meeting, some representatives from other countries were unable to attend in person and had to participate in the hearing remotely via projection.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, you may begin."

After Sai gave the signal, Lin Xuan played a video on the screen.

It was an endless sea of ​​stars, with countless space warships advancing in formation. The overwhelming pressure made everyone present feel their blood boil.

They realized that Lin Xuan was simulating a future space force. The appearance of these fleets was almost identical to the space force envisioned by mankind in the future, as if they were bringing their imagined space war to the screen.

"This is a game I designed based on the Mewtwo database, and I named it the Star Wars series."

"This is the first game in the series, called Dark War, which is a game I made to simulate an interstellar war between the Trisolarans and the Trisolarans in the future."

As Lin Xuan explained, she demonstrated how to play the game to the representatives from various countries.

Representatives from various countries were quickly drawn to this unique gameplay.

"It can simulate the operational procedures of the entire crew on board, and it's an immersive experience?"

Representatives from various countries quickly recognized the value of the game.

Perhaps it can be considered a training game for the space force, adding more officers who are familiar with warship operation in the future.

This is not the first time such an operation has been carried out. Before the Three-Body Crisis, various countries would develop military-themed games to allow soldiers to familiarize themselves with the battlefield environment in advance.

"Can we try it out?"

The Chinese representative was the first to ask the question that everyone was thinking about, as they were all very interested in this so-called Star Wars game.

Since the outbreak of the Three-Body Crisis, some similar interstellar war-themed games have emerged on the market.

But...how to put it.

After playing it, one can only feel a sense of indescribable disappointment.

Some game designers even doubted whether he had ever finished junior high school, because the warship, after being destroyed in the vacuum of space, could still make a "boom boom boom" sound.

Some games are simply riding the wave of popularity, releasing old game modes with a different theme, offering nothing new.

The game that Lin Xuan showcased, aside from anything else, immediately piqued the interest of the representatives from various countries with its extremely realistic and hardcore gameplay.

"can."

Lin Xuan had several consciousness extractors handed over to representatives from various countries.

Thanks to Hines's technological improvements, this thing has transformed from its original crude appearance of a large iron ring into something that truly resembles a gaming helmet.

The representatives from various countries had actually heard about this thing made by Lin Xuan before, but today was the first time they had seen what it looked like.

Soon, representatives from various countries put on the helmets and tried them out.

About an hour later...

The representatives took off their gaming helmets, their expressions revealing a complex mix of emotions.

"This……"

Sai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped. Everyone turned their attention to Lin Xuan, and the entire venue fell silent for a moment.

"Let's vote then."

In the end, it was the representative from China who spoke, easing the awkward atmosphere at the scene.

"Representatives from all countries, please vote on whether or not to approve the release of the Star Wars game."

"The US representative: Opposes."

"Representative of the island nation: Opposes."

"Representative of the Russian Bear: Opposed."

"The British Empire's representative: Oppose!"

"Representative of the Will: Objection!"

"The Gallic Rooster representative: Opposes..."

In the end, only the Chinese representative had not yet voted.

After much deliberation, the Chinese representative ultimately failed to vote against the proposal.

"The representative of China abstains."

Six votes against and one abstention.

This sudden turn of events shocked the rest of the audience, who were all completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.

Just a moment ago, all the countries were very interested in Lin Xuan's game, so why did they suddenly collectively oppose it?

Because of the nature of the Mewtwo database, no one knows what the representatives from various countries experienced in the game during that hour, and naturally, no one can understand why they collectively voted against it.

This sudden turn of events shocked Lin Xuan greatly.

After organizing his thoughts, the Russian representative spoke in fluent Chinese.

"Mr. Lin Xuan, your game... is incredible. The controls are so realistic that I felt like I had just experienced a real interstellar war."

The Chinese representative also nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed a very good game, but..."

"But you're going in the wrong direction."

The representative from the United States then took over the conversation.

Representatives from the other countries nodded in agreement.

"This is utter escapism. Why is the game's objective to pilot a spaceship to escape the fleet, instead of fighting the enemy, or something else?"

"Once this game is released, it could cause the morale of the Space Force, which has been built up with great effort, to collapse, and humanity's confidence in defeating the Trisolarans will also suffer a heavy blow."

Unsurprisingly, representatives from all seven countries collectively opposed the release of the game.

Although everyone knows the technological gap between humanity and the Trisolarans, this approach of starting to run away without even knowing where the enemy is is indeed a bit too outrageous.

However, Lin Xuan seemed to have known this would be the outcome all along, and his face did not show much surprise.

"Everyone, this is just the first draft of the game Dark Campaign. I have also designed a second version, which you can try out."

As Lin Xuan spoke, she uploaded the second game to the Super Dream database.

Upon hearing this, the representatives from various countries picked up their helmets again and began their trial experiences.

Unlike the first version of Dark Campaign, in this version, the player's spawn ship is already sailing in space.

Along with it were about a dozen other ships of different types.

As you can see, although the second version lacks the grand scale of more than two thousand warships in the first version, the details are depicted with great care, and the gameplay is also quite unique compared to the first version.

Just like in the first version, players can become anyone on the ship, and their mission is to maneuver their ship further into space and face various problems that may arise.

For example, if your spaceship is running out of energy, you can choose to borrow from other ships, or you can launch a decapitation strike against other ships and seize their energy reserves.

Alternatively, you might encounter food shortages during your voyage. You could choose to cultivate plants using the spaceship's internal ecosystem, or you could choose to hunt other members of your species and eat their flesh.

In short, the game depicts the entire process of several spaceships forming a new social system in space.

Different choices will lead to different results.

While the island nation representative was playing, due to a shortage of spaceship energy, he launched an infrasonic hydrogen bomb attack on a ship. After collecting the opponent's energy, the radar system detected a nearby atmospheric planet that could replenish the spaceship's missing energy.

This highly ironic plot unfolds repeatedly as players play the game.

Three hours later, the representatives from various countries took off their gaming helmets and remained silent.

"Vote."

The second round of voting began quickly, and ultimately, the G7 voted 4 to 3 in favor of releasing Lin Xuan's game.

"Well, while some of the choices in this game did shock me, such as the option to have children and then cannibalize each other, it seems more acceptable compared to the escapism of the first version," the representative of will commented.

"Indeed, this game is quite well done in many details, and the gameplay is better than the first version. Just think of it as a simulation sandbox game for raising animals that can travel long distances and survive in space."

Because of the deal between Zhizi and Lin Xuan, everyone had long ago decided that the future development direction of the spaceship would definitely be radiation engines.

This means that ships may be capable of navigating extremely long distances.

In space, anything is possible. Lin Xuan's Dark War, while somewhat bizarre, does have its merits and opens up a thought-provoking topic for everyone.

The question of how we would survive if we were stranded in the universe.

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, things unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

The reason he presented the first version of the game was to make the representatives from various countries accept the second version.

If I were to show them the second version directly, they would definitely object on the spot.

However, after seeing the first version, the representatives from various countries felt that compared to this bizarre choice in the face of survival, escapism seemed more unforgivable, so they naturally accepted the second version of the game.

Just like what Xun said.

Human nature tends to favor compromise and moderation. For example, if you say the room is too dark and a window needs to be added, everyone will definitely object. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and agree to add a window.
