Ding ding ding!
The opening music for the new chapter was solemn and urgent.
The Minister of Defense's heavy voice rang out: "Everyone, the nuclear missile has been launched towards the East Coast. We can't save the Palace anymore."
Sheffield: "We rebuilt the Palace once, so let's rebuild it again."
"Estimated casualties?"
"About thirty to fifty thousand. All systems will be destroyed by then."
"General Sheffield, you warned us. We should have listened to you then."
Sheffield: "We cannot be seen by the people as those who stood by during the nation's crisis. We must expose Makarov."
Minister of Defense: "Lieutenant General, say whatever you need. Everything is in your hands now."
The beginning was a series of baffling dialogues.
Mò Zhī listened, completely bewildered.
How did it seem like Sheffield ended up with more power from this crisis?

Fú lì was still resisting desperately.
"There are too many enemies!" someone in the squad began to despair.
Fú lì resolutely said, "Hold the position!"
Then,
Mò Zhī's vision became dazzling, as if she had been hit by a flashbang.
At this moment, the camera switched to the sky above Blue Star. Judging from the environment, this should be the astronaut's perspective.
International Space Station: "Hengxing One, please respond. This is the International Space Station. Transmit the footage from your helmet camera. Over!"
"Hengxing One, can you turn slightly to the right?"
"Okay, Hengxing One, we see your footage. Ground command, please respond, are you receiving? Over!"
Ground Command: "Received, International Space Station. Very clear."
The astronaut carefully completed every instruction.
International Space Station: "Command, we weren't supposed to launch any satellites today, were we?"
Command: "International Space Station, please hold position. We might be in trouble."
In the astronaut's field of vision, an unknown flying object trailing a beautiful point of light was flying in a parabolic trajectory at the edge of the atmosphere.
From afar, it looked like a rising satellite.
International Space Station: "Command, this is the International Space Station, uh..."
Boom!
A massive mushroom cloud exploded in the upper atmosphere.
The scene of the explosion was like a bright, orange-red sunset, instantly illuminating the dark space.
Then,
In less than a second, a powerful electromagnetic pulse spread out at a visible speed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The astronaut panicked, gasping for breath, and retreated in a frenzy.
Of course, it was in vain.
He was instantly engulfed by the EMP.
"Holy cow!"
Mò Zhī witnessed the entire process and was still in a daze when she returned to the battlefield.
It was too realistic!
Perhaps a real nuclear explosion in reality wouldn't be much different from this.
'Astronaut: I surrender to you old schemers!'
'Shortest-lived protagonist in Call of Duty history is born!'
'Look carefully, Mò Zhī's red dot sight has failed. Such attention to detail!'
'High-altitude nuclear explosion, also known as EMP attack. It causes a nuclear bomb to detonate in the upper atmosphere. Gamma radiation separates electrons from atmospheric molecules, producing the Compton effect. The separated electrons are captured by the Earth's magnetic field, generating a vast, diffused electron pulse. The result is fatal to electronic devices. Any device with an electronic receiving unit will have its circuit board completely burned out after receiving the electron pulse attack. My evaluation is: rigorous!'
'The background for the high-altitude nuclear explosion experiment was during the Cold War. The protagonists were precisely these two major powers in the game. The development team's knowledge base is too rich. As a deep military enthusiast, I haven't found any logical flaws so far. This is definitely a masterpiece worth deep consideration. Selling it for 258 is too cheap!!'
'There are quite a few big shots among the viewers. Your knowledge base is also outrageous!'
......
Tch!
Ji Lǐ, a doctoral student, snorted coldly at the flattery in the comments. Does the knowledge of his supervisor need your approval?
"Little Ji, find some time to contact the designer of this game."
Zhang Lunshan withdrew his gaze from the game and looked at Ji Lǐ behind him, saying gently, "Our VR equipment research technology is becoming increasingly mature. In the future, when VR games are released, only a game design team can perfectly unleash the essence of VR games."
He pondered for a moment and looked out the window: "Even though some phenomenon-level games have recently appeared in the nation, it doesn't change the fact that our Dragon Country's gaming industry is severely lagging behind other countries. To overtake them, VR is an opportunity, and we must seize it!"
As a doctoral supervisor for both the Precision Electronics Department and the Game Design Department at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, Zhang Lunshan deeply desired to witness the day when domestic games would reach the pinnacle of the world in his lifetime.
He knew very well that with traditional games alone, there would be no chance even in another hundred years. VR games were the one and only opportunity.
He had to seize it!
Although the VR era was still two years away, he had to scout for excellent design teams as early as possible.
Only through strong alliances could there be a glimmer of hope.
"But... Professor, this Lu Li team has only released two games, and you've already confirmed it's them?"
Ji Lǐ was confused. Wasn't this a bit too hasty?
"Hehe... continue watching the stream."
Wang Lunshan smiled, shook his head, and didn't explain further, his gaze once again immersed in the live stream.
At this moment, due to the EMP generated by the missile explosion, Mò Zhī and the others had all their electronic equipment destroyed, greatly reducing the equipment gap with the enemy.
In the darkness, having lost their night vision goggles, memorizing the map became Mò Zhī's key to victory.
Apart from being brutally beaten, everything else was perfect.
After eliminating the last wave of enemies, she arrived at the secret passage leading to the Palace.
Due to information errors, the command center believed Huá Shèngdùn had fallen and was preparing to implement a devastating airstrike.
The order received a prompt: unless a green signal flare was lit within two minutes.
"Two minutes left, brothers!"
Mò Zhī stood before the ruins, full of heroic spirit, "We righteous men, though in a foreign land, still have chivalrous hearts!"
"To save the Platinum-Han Palace Hotel, it is our duty!"
Speaking solemnly while dressed in a Gothic lolita maid outfit, Mò Zhī's performance sent the viewers off-screen into fits of laughter!
ps: Guess which game was foreshadowed? (Weighty!)
