Yan Xiaocang didn't speak, and Suo Minni kept talking to herself. Her physical fitness was very good. The traveling speed of this team was about ten kilometers per hour, which was about twice the normal speed of ordinary people. Look. A girl with a very thin body can easily keep up without affecting her speech.
The history of the emergence of Qimeng Paradise alone can be discussed for an hour.
In 1965 AD, a strong meteor shower broke out. Thousands of meteors turned into brilliant brilliance in the atmosphere, but more than 20 of the largest meteors still fell to the ground. Fortunately, half of the meteorites that fell to the ground entered the sea, and the tsunamis they caused did not invade the land. The other half fell into deserts, wastelands, and mountains.
Meteorites have always been the best material for humans to study outer space. Astronomers, cosmologists or experts who study extraterrestrial civilizations from various countries will not give up the excellent opportunity. They quickly formed a scientific research team to search for meteorites.
When they entered the large crater opened by the meteorite at the landing site, they were surprised to find that there was no trace of the meteorite at all, and what appeared in front of them was a dark hole. On the other side of the cave entrance is an unknown world.
Gravity, environment, and air quality are no different from the Earth. Even the sun during the day, the moon at night, and the Milky Way are the same as the Earth. However, the oceans, plains, mountains, and deserts in this world do not exist on the Earth. superior.
What surprised the scientists even more was that the meteorite crash sites they investigated were all over the world, including the Himalayas in China, the Sahara Desert in Africa, the tropical rain forests of Brazil, Alaska in the United States, and Siberia in the Soviet Union. No matter where they entered, they appeared in the same world after arriving. a place.
Soon, the news was known to all parties, and the military and intelligence agencies took over the search work and fought for ownership of this unknown world through diplomatic means. With the most powerful force, the United States mobilized tens of thousands of Marines to cover and took the lead in carrying out investigation work. Countless unmanned reconnaissance aircraft flew to every corner of the world like flies, and elite troops protected all kinds of elite intelligence. Personnel carried the most advanced equipment and headed in all directions. The Soviet Union followed, mobilizing even greater numbers of troops.
Who knows, these people have encountered all kinds of beasts and monsters that have never been seen on earth. They are either physically strong and not afraid of bullets, or they have lightning speed, and some monsters can spit out fire or ice. . Heroic warriors usually train for humans, not monsters beyond human common sense and abilities. In the first two months, the United States and the Soviet Union lost all their intelligence personnel and more than 90% of their troops.
The casualties of up to 30,000 people exceeded the capacity of the US President and Congress, and also exceeded the psychological endurance of the American people. The Pentagon, with the support of Congress, authorizes the military to use weapons of mass destruction.
Aluminum-magnesium incendiary bombs, cloud bombs, these terrorist weapons second only to nuclear weapons have been used in the new world. Because the plane could not pass through the not-so-wide door, the soldiers could only endure huge casualties, manually place it, and remotely detonate it.
After several tests, they discovered to their dismay that the damage caused by these weapons to monsters was minimal. Even the plants that were supposed to be reduced to ashes in the explosion miraculously saved their lives. The tall and tall ones remained tall and the weak ones remained weak. , after several heavy rains, the smoky black traces disappeared, and the jungle was still lush and full of vitality.
The Soviet Union simply used tactical nuclear weapons. After the mushroom cloud that could destroy everything rose, it did leave nearly a hundred square kilometers of scorched earth. However, the radiation that originally took tens or even hundreds of years to eliminate became destructive in a few days. Do it quietly.
The weapons relied on to dominate the world failed to achieve the expected results, and the politicians who were thick-shouldered because of their strength were panicked. At this time, two combat assessment reports with similar content were submitted to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Soviet Kremlin.
The investigation found that in the first battle, 90% of the results were achieved by 10% of the most elite soldiers. And very few soldiers found that their strength and speed had increased to varying degrees.
"Operation Blade" mobilized the most elite members of the army, police, and agents to fight in the new world. They disassembled heavy weapons such as tanks, tanks, and self-propelled artillery into parts, and then reassembled them after entering the new world. The team started working, and this time the results were remarkable. Although most of them were still lost, the results achieved were several times more than at the beginning.
What troubles the White House and the Kremlin is that their tactical adjustments are seen by all countries. The experience gained by the United States and the Soviet Union with the blood of tens of thousands of soldiers has been easily learned by other countries. Soon, various countries mobilized their domestic elites to enter the new world. The United States is the well-deserved leader in terms of overall combat effectiveness, but a small number of elitesIn terms of power, China, Europe, Japan, and even Israel are not inferior to the United States. In the new world, the situation of one country being dominant or two companies competing for hegemony no longer exists.
¡°While governments of various countries are conducting diplomatic mediation overtly and covertly, scientific researchers from several countries have successively developed new results.
Strange ingredients have been discovered from different monsters in the New World, which are effective medicines for treating AIDS and several types of cancer. It was even discovered that the leaves of a plant have ingredients that can prevent bird flu. The economic benefits contained in this make everyone excited.
"The New World, which stretches tens of millions of square kilometers, exceeds the combined territory of several major countries. It cannot be effectively developed by relying solely on elite soldiers selected from thousands of miles away."
Finally, with the intervention of the United Nations, countries reached an agreement to jointly develop and share information.
After the end of the Cold War, countries found that it became increasingly difficult for them to explain the constant casualties of soldiers, and it became increasingly difficult to replace the vacancies left by the fallen soldiers. It takes several years to train an elite agent, but death only requires a claw from a certain monster. At the same time, with the advent of the Internet age, various rumors about the new world appear from time to time, and it becomes impossible to suppress them.
In order to reverse this situation, the United Nations Security Council took the lead and participated in several large multinational companies with relevant interests to formulate the "Dream Paradise" plan to attract private forces into the new world and let them work hard. Capital from various countries and large multinational companies jointly formed a joint venture The "Qimeng Paradise Entertainment Company" is responsible for recycling resources.
Since the official opening of Dream Paradise in the Millennium, millions of retired soldiers, retired special police officers, practitioners, and adventurers have poured into this world full of opportunities, challenges and dangers, using their blood, sweat and lives to contribute to the "Qimeng Paradise Entertainment Company" "Having earned astronomical amounts of wealth, of course, there are also a handful of people who have become rich and become idols worshiped by the world.
"Now, after sixteen years of data accumulation, people have a full understanding of the dangers of Qimeng Paradise. However, due to the development and application of alpha particles, the mortality rate is lower than before
The climate has dropped a lot, so the number of people taking risks with the dream of getting rich has not decreased, but has actually increased. "When he said this, Suo Mingni was also a little tired. Yan Xiaocang never expressed anything. It was very boring to talk to himself all the time. Suo Mingni's patience reached the limit and decided that if Yan Xiaocang still Don't speak and ignore him.
When at home, the little princess in San Francisco¡¯s Chinatown is everyone¡¯s beloved baby. For many people, not to mention talking to her, just seeing her smile is something worth being proud of and showing off. Suo Minni herself didn't understand why she was so patient with this boy she met by chance.
After waiting for a few minutes, just when Suo Minni was completely disappointed and considering whether to step on the idiot next to her, Yan Xiaocang finally spoke: "What are alpha particles?"
Suo Mingni almost fell down, and she finally confirmed that Yan Xiaocang was an idiot who knew nothing.
"Even if you don't know the hunter's profession, the smart terminal, or the pet Zuma, you should still know about alpha particles, right?"
"I heard the old lady mention it, but I forgot to ask her." Yan Xiaocang said calmly. The girl kept talking for a long time, but he was not moved at all. When he wanted Suo Minni to drink some water, he realized that the water he brought from home had been drunk before entering the Wanggui Gate.
"Alpha particles are a special component filled in the air of Qimeng Paradise. Experts have shown that the monsters, beasts and plants here have special physiques and abilities, which are directly related to alpha particles. After breathing for a long time, we humans Alpha particles entering the body can improve certain abilities, such as physical strength and speed." Suo Minni seemed happy to be Yan Xiaocang's teacher and taught tirelessly.
"So, the life-saving liquid is also based on the same principle?"
"Yes, the life-saving liquid itself does not have the effect of treating injuries, but it can absorb alpha particles from the air and the human body, and produce miraculous therapeutic effects after a series of chemical reactions. Similarly, a metal light produced by Qimeng Paradise Silver can also absorb and transform alpha particles. After being created through special processes, the weapons produced are more powerful than high-tech products. All professions use light silver weapons made using different methods."
The girl took a breath, took out a bottle of water from her backpack, took a few sips, and handed the plastic bottle to Yan Xiaocang. Yan Xiaocang hesitated for a moment, thinking that his refusal to accept "Nightmare in Paradise" almost caused the two of them to fall into a cold war. He did not dare to repeat the same mistake and let the newly eased relationship enter a deadlock again, so he accepted it.
"The third function of alpha particles is the most magical. Some people with particularly strong mental power can gather and transform alpha particles through a combination of words and movements to form an effect similar to magic. This kind of?It can both attack and defend, and can also treat injuries of companions. There are not many monk hunters, so they are the most sought-after talents. "
Yan Xiaocang was thoughtful and raised the water bottle to drink water. He felt the slightly sweet and salty liquid flow into his mouth. Just one sip relieved his thirst.
"What kind of water is this? It seems to quench your thirst."
"It is specially made compressed water. Each sip can provide people with the equivalent of 300 ml of water and the corresponding calories, salts and trace elements. It also tastes good. Ah, drink less. If you drink too much, you will burst. I only bought one bottle because it was too heavy, and the two of us drank it back and forth, so we had to save a little."
Yan Xiaocang was embarrassed for a while, then he realized that he and the girl drank from the same bottle of water.
Fortunately, the girl is still young and does not have the habit or need to wear makeup. Otherwise, will there be traces of her lipstick on the mouth of the water bottle?
The gap between the two teenagers was easily eliminated, and the two chatted happily - if it didn't involve family, money, etc., Yan Xiaocang was still very talkative. After all, people in Bathing City are the most honest with each other. When they chatted, Yan Xiaocang heard many stories and jokes that were suitable or not suitable for his age. Picking out a few at random made Suo Minni giggle non-stop. In the past, when he was in school, he had to go home early after school to help his mother with work, cook and take care of the housework. Yan Xiaocang rarely interacted with his classmates, even when he was in school, because his classmates in small cities knew each other's details. He also didn't want to be friends with Yan Xiaocang, who "always smelled of disinfectant and inferior shampoo", so it was the first time he told the stories he had been holding in his stomach, and it was also the first time he met Suo Minni. This gives face to the audience, and the speaker speaks with great enthusiasm.
The others in the team didn't speak, and just kept busy on their way silently. Yan Xiaocang spoke in a low voice, but the girl's laughter seemed particularly clear. At first, some people looked back at them, but later they probably thought they were a young couple coming for an adventure. Since the temporary captain didn't stop them even when he looked to the southeast, no one cared about them.
Someone murmured in a low voice: "A child of such a young age doesn't go to school well and comes to this place, thinking it's Disneyland?"
As we chatted, we didn¡¯t feel tired or far away from walking. Soon it was noon. Southeast Wang stopped and said, ¡°Everyone, rest here and have something to eat. We will continue to set off in half an hour. This time on the road It¡¯s not going to be peaceful anymore, so be prepared for battle.¡±
"Prepare for battle? Isn't this journey a safe zone?"
¡°You didn¡¯t tell us when you announced the mission.¡± People who had not spoken for a long time started shouting.
Yan Xiaocang frowned. Just when he was about to say something, his arm was pulled by someone. Suo Minni motioned for him to sit on the roadside and rest.
"Ignore them. The safe area around the log square is only fifteen kilometers. We have walked twenty kilometers and have already exceeded it. It is only half past eleven. The normal rest time is twelve o'clock. We rest half an hour earlier. Just to prepare for possible dangers they may encounter in the future, they don¡¯t even know this basic thing, and they still have the nerve to shout.¡±
Yan Xiaocang said awkwardly, "I don't know either."
"Uh" the girl paused and said quickly, "But you didn't make random comments."
