Restart the Gaming Era

At the end of the first stage of the plot, the protagonist continues to discover more traces of rampant Zerg activities during the exploration process, and follows the commander's orders to continue exploring. But while investigating a suspicious location, the protagonist's team suddenly encountered a large number of bugs. They hurriedly wanted to retreat, but the sea of ​​bugs had completely surrounded them.

After a fierce battle, the protagonist's team finally found a way out and met up with the team that came to rescue them. But at this moment, a sandworm suddenly emerged from the ground without warning and bit the protagonist's left side. arm and dragged him into the ground.

The protagonist was separated from his team. When he came to his senses, he had arrived in an underground cave, which was one of the Zerg's lairs.

From here on, the game enters the second stage of the plot.

The protagonist uses the stealth ability of the protective suit to carefully find an exit in the Zerg lair. The gameplay has also changed from FPS to stealth-based and shooting-based. Only when a small number of enemies are not discovered can they be shot to eliminate the enemy.

The protagonist has to avoid the powerful Zerg in the Zerg lair, and at the same time, he has to constantly look for an exit. During this period, all his supplies come from human warriors similar to him who were dragged into the Zerg lair.

These people were not as lucky as Luo Zhou. Basically, they could not escape from the Zerg nest. After the Zerg devoured their corpses, the tattered protective suits, armor plates, energy blocks, etc. were left behind. All piled up in the lair.

Every once in a while, Luo Zhou can find some Zerg garbage dumps, where he can find some supplies that can be recycled to maintain the energy of his protective suit and the supply of bullets.

In the second phase, players are basically completely alone. Communication with the outside world was cut off, and it was impossible to determine how to leave the Zerg nest. Supplies were extremely scarce, and the number of Zerg was completely beyond imagination.

At this stage, the difficulty of the game increases slightly, but not to a very high degree. Without the support of teammates, the protagonist must solve all the troubles by himself, which may remind players of the kindness of teammates; even if they get resources, they cannot be exchanged for supplies. If you want to get supplies, you can only dig through the garbage dump, whether it is bullets. Energy must be particularly conserved; when you see Zerg, you cannot shoot blindly. Instead, you must decide whether to assassinate, shoot, or avoid based on the characteristics of the enemy.

The second plot is similar to the structure of a traditional maze. Players can freely choose their routes, but they will eventually reach the correct route. After successfully escaping from the Zerg lair, the protagonist successfully restored contact with the team and learned that the Zerg army was continuously launching attacks. Only by finding the location of the brainworms in the lair could the Zerg army be contained.

So the protagonist returned to the Zerg nest again, and finally blew up the brainworm hiding underground, and escaped in a very thrilling way.

After this incident, the protagonist and team members were commended and continued their mission.

Time flashed forward to several years later. During this time, humans continued to expand the actual scope of control, and at the same time, the tasks of dismantling parts to repair the spacecraft and building planetary engines also continued to move forward.

Walking out of the military camp again, Luo Zhou looked up and could see the planetary engine being built in the distance. It was a huge mountain of more than 10,000 meters, which could be seen from a long distance away. This is the first batch of planetary engines built. So far, only a large frame has been built, and countless small spacecraft can be seen busy around it.

Even for a project of this level, humans are progressing very quickly. After all, they are racing against death. As the game progresses, every time players look at the planetary engine, they will be surprised to find that it seems to be a small part completed.

The protagonist was appreciated by the commander for his outstanding performance in destroying the Zerg nest. He was even able to directly face the Supreme Archon, the ultimate person in charge of the Interstellar Spark Project, and directly receive some extremely special tasks from there.

This time the protagonist received a mission that surprised him. He had to work with other soldiers to assist in the repair of the starship and be alert to accidents.

The idea of ​​repairing the starship has been on the table since the beginning, but only now has work begun on it. The so-called "repair" is nothing more than piecing together the intact parts of the spacecraft, demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, and making up a small part of the interstellar battleship that can operate normally. Because mankind's current technology is not enough to produce the core and key components of those starships.

The reason why this bill has not been taken forward until now is because there have always been differences and disputes among high-level officials. Luo Zhou learned from the Supreme Consul that although on the surface it seemed that the top management had reached an agreement on the Interstellar Spark Plan and began to develop fusion technology and build planetary engines, there were always private objections.

During the execution of the mission, Luo Zhou roughly figured out the whole story through eavesdropping and collecting information.

The current top management has been split into three factions: the spaceship faction, the neutral faction, and the planetary faction.

Currently, the Neutral Faction is temporarily on the side of the Planet Faction, the Supreme Archon, and the Spaceship Faction has the smallest number of people. However, there are a large number of senior officers and technical elites in the spaceship faction. Although there is no wrongdoing for the time being, the possible destructive power cannot be underestimated.

The reason why these people firmly choose the spaceship faction seems to be very good: "The planetary engine is a huge gamble with the fate of all mankind. Once it fails, mankind will be in catastrophe. As the elite of mankind, they should evacuate first, and No needless risks should be taken here.”

After several years of fruitless political operations, the people from the spaceship faction have begun plotting to rob the spaceship and defect.

At this stage of the game, the player's main area of ​​activity is in the damaged fleet area. A large number of engineers were dismantling and repairing the spacecraft, while soldiers like Luo Zhou were responsible for patrolling and standing guard. On the surface, they were wary of the threat of the Zerg, but in fact they were to guard against the people sent by the spacecraft.

After the first batch of spacecraft were successfully repaired, traces of Zerg activity were suddenly discovered near the planetary engine. Soldiers were urgently recruited to fight against the Zerg, while Luo Zhou continued to protect the spacecraft in accordance with the commander's instructions. Sure enough, the Spaceship Faction launched a rebellion and wanted to seize the spaceship. The protagonist's team had a fierce exchange of fire with the rebels. Finally, through joint efforts, they successfully defeated the rebels and shattered the Spaceship Faction's plan.

The content of this battle is a relatively long cinematic process, all taking place in the scene where the star battleship is located.

Outside the interstellar battleship, large combat weapons are strictly prohibited from entering the restricted area, but a large number of rebels still sneak in through various methods. The purpose of these rebels was to seize the star battleship and defect. Luo Zhou's team and other soldiers fought fiercely with the rebels inside the star battleship, and eventually eliminated them all.

However, at the end of the battle, the angry rebels made a desperate move and used special biological and chemical weapons. Although the battle finally ended, Luo Zhou and many soldiers suffered heavy losses.

The Archon decided to put these warriors into hibernation and repair their bodies through new technologies such as mechanical prosthetics so that they could be resurrected at some time in the future.

Although the Spaceship Faction's plot was successfully disrupted this time, the Archon realized that this was probably just a test. The real Spaceship Faction organization must be hidden deeply and may make a comeback in the future. Therefore, he secretly gave these hibernating warriors a special mission, which was to ensure that the Interstellar Fire Project could be carried out smoothly even after his death.

The content of the third stage ends here. This stage can be regarded as a small climax in the first half of the plot. The cinematic process can stimulate the player's emotions to the maximum extent, and the creation of various grand scenes can make the player's adrenaline surge. During the battle, elements such as vicious rebels, injured teammates, explosions and chaotic scenes can well arouse the players' emotions, allowing the suppressed emotions in the second stage to be released.

The content of the fourth stage is the plot after Luo Zhou’s hibernation ends.

Decades have passed since the protagonist hibernated. After he woke up from hibernation, the entire human world had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under the guidance of the hibernation center service staff, Luo Zhou received new protective clothing and reported to the military camp. After leaving the hibernation center, Luo Zhou discovered that humans had now moved underground, and the outside world had also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original consul has died, and the new consul is now slightly inferior in terms of skill and ability. On the surface, everything is calm, but in fact, the situation at the top is already in chaos.

Only one of Luo Zhou's original team members hibernated and woke up together with him. The other team members either died of illness, old age, or died in battles with the Zerg, and have all passed away.

However, Luo Zhou was quickly assigned new team members. As a sergeant major who had made immortal achievements, Luo Zhou received great respect in the military camp.

This aspect is very intuitively reflected in the game: everyone in the military camp respects Luo Zhou, and you can also enjoy good discounts when shopping at merchants.

Afterwards, Luo Zhou resumed his identity as a soldier and once again led his team to explore the surface.

After returning to the surface, Luo Zhou discovered that the familiar scene had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The more than 10,000-meter planetary engine has been completely built. It was just an empty frame before, but now it has turned into a huge steel mountain. It is still spraying blue particle tail flames. The strong light makes the surrounding area forever. daytime.

The originally reddish-brown wasteland has turned into a vast white snowfield. In fact, strictly speaking, it is not snow, but dry ice formed by carbon dioxide condensing under extremely cold conditions. The environment has fallen into absolute cold.

The temperature will be much higher near the planetary engine. If you are at the foot of the planetary engine, even if the protective suit is damaged or the energy is exhausted, you will not be frozen to death. At most, you will get frostbite. But if you are far away from the planetary engine, then the constant temperature of the protective suit will Losing energy to the system means death.

The game content of the fourth stage is somewhat similar to the first stage, and it is also a semi-open world gameplay.

Luo Zhou and his team performed tasks in the vast snowfield, such as rescuing trapped transport convoys, going to some very remote places to encircle and suppress the remaining Zerg, searching for resources that could be recycled under the thick ice, etc.

During the startup of the planetary engine, the planet's crust still experienced some vibrations. Many large mines collapsed, and some nests dug by the Zerg collapsed. There are still some resources available in these places, but they are already difficult to search for. Only a small team like Luo Zhou will search for them.

By comparing the scenes in the first stage and the fourth stage, players will have a feeling of being in another world. When Luo Zhou was performing his mission, he could still vaguely recognize the place where he fought against the Zerg decades ago, and he also found the remains of a mecha he had flown under some ruins. But times have changed, and the Zerg that used to be so numerous that it was disgusting are now just hanging on, and the probability of encountering the Zerg has dropped a lot.

But this does not mean that the Zerg are no longer a threat. On the contrary, they have learned to hide themselves even more. In the past few decades of evolution, they have acquired some specialties specifically for human weapons, and have even given birth to many new types of weapons. Zerg.

Compared with the first stage, although the fourth stage is also a semi-open world gameplay, the difficulty is much higher. The Zerg are stronger and many new units have appeared; players can search for fewer resources in the wilderness; the environment is even harsher and the temperature is always extremely low. Once the protective clothing is damaged or the energy is used up, the Zerg will be destroyed. May be life-threatening.

In addition to the Zerg, players may also encounter attacks from rebels. These rebels are eager to get rid of Luo Zhou, and the enemy's situation becomes more complicated.

As the quest line progresses, players gradually learn about the current background.

In order to allow the planet to gain sufficient speed, the Supreme Archon decided to use a gravity slingshot approach and use NGC-X-3 for acceleration. But this is undoubtedly a big gamble. If it fails, the planet will collide with NGC-X-3, and mankind will be annihilated.

At this critical juncture, the spaceship faction, which had been dormant for decades, was once again ready to take action.

The previous action of the Spaceship Faction to seize the spaceship was obviously just a speculation. The real leaders of the Spaceship Faction were hidden among the top officials and were waiting for opportunities. They were not idle. In the past few decades, they had been secretly developing members of the Spaceship Faction to prepare for the next step. Prepare for the plan.

As for the spaceship faction, their reasons are also very good. They still believe that the risks brought by the gravity slingshot are completely uncontrollable. Once it fails, human civilization will usher in catastrophe. Therefore, these self-proclaimed elite spaceship factions are even more eager to seize the interstellar spacecraft, escape from the planet immediately, and continue the fire of mankind.

This time is the last chance for the Spaceship Faction. Many core members of the Spaceship Faction have completely lost their minds. This rebellion will directly determine the future of mankind.

During an investigation, Luo Zhou accidentally discovered that the spaceship faction had infiltrated the upper echelons of the military. They even targeted the planetary engine in an attempt to destroy the planetary engine and cause chaos, thereby seizing the interstellar spacecraft.
