Chapter 484 Question Mark


    The other party was quite polite at this time: "Hello, how will the roles be allocated?"


    Li Wenhao thought for a while: "Anyone is fine, you choose first."


    The strong-mouthed king decisively chose the head of state and pressed the OK button.


    "Okay, that''s good." Li Wenhao naturally chose the remaining executive officers.


    Although the ID of "King of Strong Mouth" and the identity of the head of state made Li Wenhao feel vaguely unlucky, he didn''t think much about it.


    After all, I am a top player. Even if there is a strongest king who is holding me back while BBing, I should be able to pass the level easily, so it won''t be a big problem.


    What''s more, since my level is so high, the king of strong-mouthed people should be conquered by me soon, right?


    After both of them are ready, the game officially begins.


    The initial planning is very simple, which is nothing more than getting familiar with the operations, finding low-level resources, mining and storing resources, and climbing the low-level technology tree.


    Even a novice player can complete these contents very well, let alone an experienced player like Li Wenhao.


    He first rotated the mining machine to cover as much ore veins as possible, and then smoothed the conveyor belt, properly placing the smelter, warehouse and manufacturing machine on both sides of the conveyor belt, mining, storing, and processing everything in an orderly manner.


    And the "King of Strong Mouth" is also conscientiously completing his work and setting development goals.


    In the early days, the cooperation between the two could even be described as seamless.


    Li Wenhao couldn''t help but feel proud: "Look, look, don''t judge people by their appearance, oh no, don''t judge people by their ID.


    "This guy, hasn''t he been having a good time so far?


    "The development goals are very reasonable, and the technologies that should be developed are correct. In addition, many of the marks he puts on the map are very similar to mine!"


    Li Wenhao didn''t know that he had already initially fallen into a trap.


    Because the initial design of "Star Project" was like this.


    Since the technology level is relatively low and it is at the bottom of the technology tree, no matter how the leader player chooses, he will not go wrong.


    In the early stage, it is nothing more than mining more resources and developing technology trees related to mining and storage. The location of the relevant mineral veins on the map is also clear at a glance, so it is difficult for two players to have a particularly big conflict.


    Unless they are the kind of players who start trouble and are just having fun when they first start, normal players will not have too many conflicts in the early stages.


    When the leader player has nothing to do, he can type or mark points on the map, but since there are only so many favorable locations for mineral veins and construction, it is easy for the two to reach an agreement.


    After the leader player marked the mark, he found that the consul player quickly started building in that direction, so naturally he didn''t say anything else.


    Of course, there are still areas where contradictions may arise, namely "development indicators."


    Using 10,000 comet hours as a unit, the leader player can set the development indicators for the next stage, including which technology point to unlock, the output of various resources, the amount of reserves, etc.


    If the leader player sets the value too high, conflicts may still arise between the two parties.


    But there is no conflict at this time, because the head player is also a new player, and he doesn''t know how much to choose.


    If the setting is set low, the goal will be exceeded, and everyone will be happy; if it is set high, the leader players may not necessarily think that this is the Archon''s problem.


    As long as the Archon''s operation is generally acceptable, the Head of State player will take the initiative to take half of the blame, thinking that he overestimated it when setting the indicators, so there will be no friction.


    Only after the head of state players have played for a period of time and have a clear understanding of technological progress and various indicators will conflicts arise.


    In short, the two people, who are not yet familiar with the game mechanics, spent the initial stage of the game in full harmony.


    Ten thousand comet years have passed, and the technology of this comet can continue to advance to the next stage.


    The weather is also getting colder, which can be seen very intuitively from the temperature indicators.


    In "Project Star", the initial temperature of players is the same, ranging from -70 degrees to -40 degrees.


    In the basic settings of the game, this is a temperature that is more suitable for the survival of silicon-based life.


    In fact, this temperature range is consistent with four points in the entire comet''s orbit.


    Therefore, there will be four different scenarios for future temperature changes.


    It may be an extremely long period of severe cold, a long period of intense heat, or it may be a short period of cold first and then hot, or a short period of hot first and then cold.


    Using temperature changes to estimate which range you are in is also a big pitfall in the early stages of the game.


    Shen Guang and Qiu Qinghong stumbled over this when they tried it out before.


    However, Li Wenhao and King Zuiqiang were obviously lucky. They encountered the most optimistic of these four situations: the long and cold.


    This means that the comet is moving towards aphelion and will not face the problem of extreme heat until it has passed through more than half of the comet''s orbit.


    Although during this long journey, the temperature of the comet will drop to extremely low levels and the living environment will be equally harsh, the cold is always better than the heat.


    Because the severe cold can be kept warm in various ways, including the simplest and crudest methods of digging holes, consuming fuel, building insulated shelters, etc.


    The extreme heat can only be solved through a few means, such as genetic modification and advanced technology.


    With a long period of freezing temperatures, players have plenty of time to climb the tech tree or plan genetic modifications to prepare for the heat.


    On the other hand, if the comet repeatedly jumps between cold and hot, the difficulty of the game will be greatly increased.


    “Let me look at the goals for the next phase.


    "Huh? Artificial breeding? Is this, is this right?"


    Li Wenhao couldn''t help but be stunned when he saw the development goals for the next stage.


    Obviously, he and the Führer had obvious differences on this goal. This is an early stage of technological selection: if artificial breeding is chosen, the number of silicon-based villains can be rapidly increased.


    If you choose mechanized construction, you can use part of the machinery to replace the silicon-based villain.


    Although silicon-based life itself is naturally close to robots, there are still obvious differences between the two: ordinary silicon-based life cannot go out to work in extremely cold or extremely hot conditions, while robots can withstand extreme cold or hot conditions. Much better.


    In addition, in terms of cost and scientific research difficulty, it is obvious that silicon-based villains are cheaper, while robots are more expensive.


    This choice is very critical, it is likely to directly determine the game experience for a period of time in the future, and may even directly affect the ending of this archive.


    To be on the safe side, Li Wenhao typed and asked: "Are you sure it''s artificial breeding and not mechanization?"


    The King of Strong Mouth: "?"


    "Nima!"


    Li Wenhao felt a little high on the spot. If he hadn''t been live broadcasting, he would probably have been half red at this time.


    It can only be said that the effect of the program always comes when the host does not expect it.


    Li Wenhao also didn''t expect that the opponent''s opening move would be a classic question mark. How could any Landlord throw Wang Zha at the first move?


    Okay, okay, you are the matched netizen, I don’t know you the same.


    If interpreted seriously, this question mark has too many meanings.


    For example, you don’t understand such a simple question?


    Or, I am the leader and you are the executive. Are you qualified to ask me?


    But no matter how you interpret it, you will definitely not be able to interpret it as a good thing.


    Li Wenhao actually wanted to discuss which policy is better, because both routes have their own advantages and disadvantages.


    In the case of artificial breeding, these silicon-based mini-humans are cheap and easy to use, and the production line can be rolled out quickly in the early stages. There is more power with more people.


    But the problem is that as the weather gets colder, if you want these silicon-based little people to work properly, you have to invest more energy to maintain the temperature, or build more shelters and heating systems.


    Even in extreme cases, these silicon-based villains can no longer go out at all, and may become a pure burden.


    What to do then? You can’t just draw them all, and use silicon-based villains as raw materials, right?


    Not to mention whether the game mechanism is supported or not, this thing is too anti-human.


    Therefore, choosing a route is only the first step, and more long-term planning is needed later.


    Including other technology trees, including the amount of resources to be mined, corresponding arrangements must be made to ensure that the transformation can be successfully completed before some extreme situations occur.


    Li Wenhao just wanted to discuss this matter, but the other party directly asked him a question, leaving him speechless.


    “Okay, you are the head of state, you have the final say.


    "I shut up."


    Li Wenhao just complained and didn''t type anymore. It was already like this anyway, and there was no need to intensify the conflict anymore.


    Just follow the head of state''s indicators.


    The Archon itself has a lot of operations. If we have to type and argue, we will end up with internal friction, which is not good for anyone.


    Li Wenhao began to build breeding centers in batches to produce silicon-based villains on a large scale, while also stocking up on fuel and food, which were special minerals for these silicon-based villains.


    After processing, it is all stored in the warehouse.


    As a result, while playing around, another question mark appeared on the map.


    "?"


    Li Wenhao was speechless. The map marker function of "Star Project" was quite powerful. There were dozens of marker types, including short-term markers and long-term markers.


    Players don''t even need to type, they can use markers to let the other party know roughly what it means.


    But this "King of Strong Mouth" is obviously not very good at using this marking system. He prefers to use these particularly simple symbols, such as question marks displayed on the map.


    This time, Li Wenhao didn''t tolerate him anymore, and he responded with a question mark on the spot.


    "?"


    The other party paused for a while and typed: "Why do you build so many warehouses?"


    Li Wenhao was speechless: "If we don''t build more warehouses, where will we put the fuel and ore?"


    The King of Strong Mouth: "There is no need to collect so many of these."


    Li Wenhao: "It will get colder and colder in the future. Are you going to let these people freeze to death and starve to death?"


    The King of Strong Mouth: "?


    "Why did we freeze to death and starve to death? The resource production is already enough now, even if the temperature drops in the future.


    "Even if it''s not enough, just build another batch when the time comes. Why are you doing this so early?


    "You''re building so many more warehouses now that they''re not needed, and it''s also delaying the start of the production line."


    Li Wenhao was speechless. The two of them were obviously not on the same channel.


    If we don’t build it now, will it be too late later?


    After the temperature drops, we still have to seize the time to build shelters and expand the heating system. If there are not enough warehouses and fuel by then, is it too late to expand from the mining site?


    He wanted to argue, but after thinking about it carefully, he stopped typing.
