Chapter 487: This amount of resources, right?


    "This is torture of my soul."


    Zhuge Jun was slightly shaken, but soon made up his mind.


    Just pretend you didn’t see it!


    After all, he and Hou Ji are good buddies. Although this is a mechanism allowed in the game, it will still have a certain destructive effect on the friendship between buddies in reality.


    When the time comes, it’s so inappropriate just to have my own ending CG in the game!


    Even if it is done, it must be done after the two good brothers have discussed it.


    In addition, there is another very important reason: Zhuge Jun’s surname is Zhuge!


    If this was a conspiracy to usurp the throne, he would not be ashamed to continue with this surname. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to change his surname to Sima.


    Therefore, Zhuge Jun no longer paid attention to this small window and continued to do his own thing seriously.


    …


    But just because he doesn''t use this function doesn''t mean that other Archon players don''t use it either.


    After all, there are still very few real-life friends like Zhuge Jun and Hou Ji playing this game together.


    If it is online, and two anchors are looking for each other to play games, one party may deliberately take advantage of this function for the sake of program effectiveness.


    If it is a player matched online, it is even more uncontrollable. After all, matched players are more likely to have friction, and once friction occurs, they are more likely to avenge themselves.


    This function is a typical "guard against gentlemen but not against villains".


    Li Wenhao''s development is going very smoothly.


    In particular, all the indicators he set were successfully achieved.


    Li Wenhao was still a little puzzled, could this guy really have something?


    You should know that Li Wenhao basically determined the resource production figures based on the approximate level when he was a consul.


    At the beginning, the King of Strong Mouth was still struggling, and the goals he set were often delayed.


    But later on, he seemed to be getting better and achieved his goals very smoothly.


    Li Wenhao tried several times to slightly increase the target, but the result was successfully achieved.


    It was almost unrealistically smooth.


    "If things continue like this, there seems to be a good chance of passing the level this time, right?


    "Sure enough, this has nothing to do with my wise leadership."


    Li Wenhao continued to plan the next content with great pride.


    Solving the problems of extreme heat and cold does not mean that the game will end safely, but it will create new problems.


    When the underground space is almost fully developed, players must strengthen the structure of the comet and continue to expand to the surface. After all, there is not enough space.


    Whether the environment on the surface is extremely cold or extremely hot, it will be more extreme than underground, so higher technology is needed to maintain it.


    Not only that, there is one of the biggest pitfalls in the game, which is the "resource trap".


    Because it is just a small comet, the resources that can be used on it are extremely limited, and it cannot afford too much waste.


    If the player doesn''t plan well, it''s possible to run out of resources and still not make it out of the comet.


    This leads to a resource trap, and they can only be trapped on the comet and wait to die.


    Li Wenhao has rich experience in playing this type of game. As the head of state, he can keep thinking about the specific plans after setting up the production line.


    This problem can be clearly inferred through the later technologies on the technology tree.


    “Not only do we have to leave enough security redundancy, but we also have to be careful with our budget, which is really difficult.


    "But it''s also a lot of fun."


    Li Wenhao set the goals for the next stage, briefly considered the development policy, and then had nothing to do, watching the strong king carry out construction.


    However, after watching it for a while, he always felt that something was wrong.


    “This resource yield, right?


    “It seems right at first glance.


    "But why do we feel that the number of resource mines and smelting plants is not up to par?"


    Li Wenhao felt very puzzled.


    If we only look at the resource production and reserves on the panel, these two data are generally consistent, and there are no obvious flaws.


    According to the output per hour, minus the consumption per hour, the approximate time can indeed be roughly matched with the final reserves.


    but…


    The number of mining sites and smelting plants seems a bit small?


    Li Wenhao himself has been an executive and can see the production speed of these mining sites and smelting plants.


    He always felt that the number of these mining sites and smelting plants seemed to be small and could not support such high production figures.


    Of course, this is just a feeling, he is not sure.


    Because in this game, mining sites, smelters and even conveyor belts, these buildings or equipment are also divided into levels, and different levels have different mining speeds, smelting speeds and transmission speeds.


    Low-level factories cannot be directly upgraded to high-level factories. They can only be demolished and rebuilt. This is a disadvantage. Unless the land is particularly scarce, it will be used as a makeshift factory.


    This results in the current existence of both low-level and high-level mining areas.


    Moreover, the King of Strong Mouths also likes to place things randomly. The divisions are not obvious. Many buildings are hidden in a bunch of nooks and crannies, making it difficult to find them.


    So at first, Li Wenhao didn''t feel anything was wrong.


    But now, this strange feeling has strengthened. In order to dispel this suspicion, he decided to check it out. As for how to check?


    In fact, it''s easy to do. You just need to count the number of mining farms of different levels.


    How much each mining farm can mine per hour, and how much difference there is between a low-level factory and a high-level factory, if you really calculate it, you can calculate an exact number.


    Li Wenhao simply took out a computer from the side.


    "Return to return to return to zero!"


    After clicking the button: "Equal to, 38954."


    "Huh? Isn''t that right?


    "Isn''t this calculated number a bit low?


    “It’s not a little low, it’s very low.


    “The output target I set in the previous stage was obviously 50,000, and the current output shown on the panel is 52,000.


    "No matter how you look at it, it doesn''t seem right?"


    Li Wenhao was stunned. He didn''t think too much at first. He just had nothing to do, so he wanted to check the calculation. He didn''t expect that he could actually make an error.


    Logically speaking, this is quite nonsense. Who would have thought that the data panel in this game can also lie to people?


    "Wait a minute, maybe he secretly hid the mine somewhere?"


    The King of Strong Mouth places buildings more casually, so this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.


    Li Wenhao searched for another long time on the map, but he only found one primary mine. Even if this mine was added, the output was still far less than the displayed figure.


    "What''s going on?


    "Besides, if the output is wrong, then the reserves should also be wrong, right?"


    Li Wenhao hurriedly clicked on the warehouses on the map one by one to calculate the actual reserves of various resources.


    But after doing the math, I found that this was roughly right.


    Although the two numbers are not completely consistent, after all, his statistical method is rough and there will be errors, so this is within the acceptable range.


    But here comes the problem. Production is low, but reserves have not changed. What''s going on?


    The only explanation is that consumption is also low.


    Li Wenhao couldn''t help but suddenly realized, no wonder he feels that the speed of technological research and development has been very slow recently!


    The technological research and development in this game is not completed all at once, but will be conducted slowly based on the current amount of resources.


    Each technology has a ring-shaped progress bar. It will not consume all the resources in the warehouse at once, but will slowly research based on the production and reserves of the resources.


    The specific speed of the research is not displayed at all, so it is difficult to identify with the naked eye whether it is faster or slower.


    Based on all the available information, Li Wenhao came to a rather outrageous conclusion.


    The production figures he saw at this time were inflated;


    The resource consumption figures are also exaggerated!


    These two numbers are artificially high together, and they have reached a strange balance, so that the amount of resources in the inventory is not much different from the normal data.


    As for whether it is almost the same or exactly the same, it is not clear, because this number changes from time to time, and it is almost impossible for Li Wenhao to calculate it by himself.


    The scientific research in the game does not show a specific rate, but will slow down the progress based on the actual output, so it is almost impossible to tell with the naked eye.


    Even Li Wenhao couldn''t determine when this difference began to appear.


    "The data in the game is wrong?


    "Can''t?


    "Or is this game just trying to trick me?"


    Li Wenhao was completely stunned. He couldn''t figure out what was going on.


    I was sure that my calculations were correct and I had already checked them all; there was no hidden mechanism in the game that I didn''t know about; there were no buildings or technologies on the map that could change the output.


    It''s simply baffling.


    This can''t be blamed on Li Wenhao for being stupid, the main reason is that he didn''t expect Ni Tiantang to be so shameless and allow another player to modify data privately.


    This kind of setting is simply too outrageous in a strategy and management game. Li Wenhao was in a blind spot and couldn''t react for a while.


    I wanted to ask the King of Mouth Strongness if he thought the data was wrong, but he deleted it all halfway through typing.


    On the one hand, he was instinctively wary of the King of Strong Mouth, and on the other hand, he felt that even if he told the King of Strong Mouth, he might not take it seriously, and it would be in vain.


    What to do?


    In a business simulation game, data errors are a huge problem. As the head player who formulates policies, Li Wenhao is even completely unable to play.


    "Hey, wait.


    "I have never paid attention to the technology tree of this political system before..."


    Li Wenhao suddenly discovered that the technology tree actually included government options.


    This inspired him.


    “Why should there be a government technology tree to choose from?


    "The only explanation is that these political systems also have an important impact on the game mechanics.


    “But what impact can it have?”


    Li Wenhao browsed these technology tree options carefully.


    He didn''t take a serious look at it before, because these options wouldn''t be unlocked until the middle of the game.


    Moreover, the technology tree of the political system also needs to consume resources to unlock. In the early stage, resources are very tight, and serious productivity buildings cannot be built. How can it be possible to fix this kind of nonsense.


    But now, Li Wenhao probably understands what this political technology tree is used for.


    It turns out to be a PVP technology tree!
