Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 719 - 347: [Blue Star Netizens’ Reflections, Polestar’s Development]

Watching the scene where the 60-year-old Jiang Weiping brings large bags and parcels of medicinal herbs and medicines to join the army.

For a moment.

The viewers from Blue Star were also shocked.

At this age.

He still resolutely joined the military.

People from that era didn't know how long this war would last.

Moreover, it was already the most dangerous time.

The 60-year-old Jiang Weiping.

Despite his old age and the various dangers he might face in the future, he joined the army to save the country.

In the scene.

After joining the Eight Route Army, Jiang Weiping utilized his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and walked between steep cliffs, collecting various herbs.

While also teaching his young apprentices who followed him, how to identify various herbs and poisons.

The young soldiers behind him watched with admiration and earnestness, memorizing everything Jiang Weiping taught. The mist swirled around the mountain, and the sunlight filtered through the forest, casting a golden glow over Jiang Weiping.

In the following time.

Jiang Weiping, already past sixty, moved among the soldiers daily.

After each battle.

Jiang Weiping would carry his medicine chest and treat the wounded. With silver needles in hand, he could precisely puncture acupoints to stop bleeding, while in the distance, medicinal decoctions were boiling over the fire.

He greatly reduced the casualties in his unit.

Watching the scene.

Those soldiers who survived after being treated.

Everyone sighed that "having an elder at home is like having a treasure" really is true.

Since the elderly Jiang Weiping joined.

The casualty rate in his unit clearly decreased, and many of the wounded were healed by the elder.

And by evening.

In the post-battle camp, Jiang Weiping was still teaching soldiers simple medical arts.

And when encountering various plants in the wild, as he spoke, Jiang Weiping took out a book with drawings of herbs and told those soldiers:

"This herb is scutellaria, it is excellent for stopping bleeding."

"This herb..."

The firelight flickered on the faces of Jiang Weiping and the young soldiers around him.

For a moment.

Blue Star viewers in the live stream felt a bit dazed.

The firelight reflected on those smiling and serious eyes seemed not just like firelight, but also filled with infinite hope for the future...

The scene transitioned.

Jiang Weiping not only gained the admiration of many locals and soldiers in the area and the units.

Later, he also responded to the call.

Volunteering to go to places like Nanniwan and Jiulong Spring to reclaim land, organizing woodworking factories, and providing strong logistical support for frontline soldiers.

Moreover, the farm where Jiang Weiping was located had a bumper harvest in 1945.

In addition to meeting the daily needs of the entire group.

It also ensured the drug supply for the brigade and pharmaceutical factories.

And at this time.

When the Liberation War ended.

Jiang Weiping was already 72 years old.

But he still fought on the front lines.

Until 1955, when Jiang Weiping was awarded the rank of major, the third-class Independent Freedom Medal, and the third-class Liberation Medal, he was already 77 years old.

He was the oldest recipient of honors in the Republic.

And Blue Star viewers watching all this believed these medals were indeed well-deserved.

After liberation.

Jiang Weiping kept working in the hospital, even up to the age of

eighty-plus, never resting, always saying:

"Saving patients is urgent!"

"Any hobby can be changed, but work cannot be abandoned."

Until 1964.

At the age of 86, Jiang Weiping was hospitalized due to illness.

The scene shifts.

Returning to the very beginning.

Tick-tock—tick-tock—

When the sound of the instrument rang.

The broadcast continued to play.

But the hospital room was already empty, as the camera slowly zoomed in, only the light in the emergency room remained.

The scene slowly dimmed, leaving just one sentence.

"Worth it...."

The [immersive experience mode] ended.

The host of the live room exited, and the viewers from Blue Star also came to their senses.

The words of Jiang Weiping, 'Worth it.... worth it....' echoed in their minds.

Indeed.

For Jiang Weiping.

The goal in mind was pursued, and in the end, it was achieved.

Isn't this worth it?

Unknowingly.

In Fang Ming's live stream, Blue Star viewers were reminded of Xin Qiji.

The one who had a goal in his heart but never could fulfill it, ultimately shouting 'kill the traitors, kill the traitors, kill the traitors!' before dying.

A very clear contrast.

And also reflecting on, this life was quite legendary indeed.

Joining the army four times, four different teams, but ultimately finding the right path.

Jiang Weiping's experiences and the viewing versions of [Li He] [Xin Qiji] made many Blue Star viewers realize that there are so many legendary lives and experiences.

In the past, there was too much focus on the upper layers, thus missing them.

Now looking at it.

There are many more places waiting to be explored in the [World War II] series and [Huaxia] ancient series.

Everyone was discussing in the live stream.

And the hosts Yu Feng and Fang Ming, watching the stable live stream numbers, breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems this [Republic of China Figures Series] has stabilized.

Next are other characters being streamed successively.

....

On the other side.

Polestar Company Headquarters.

Zhao Ming had just visited the movie studio for a look around.

The third batch of the [Movie Edition] is already one-seventh complete. At this rate, the third batch of the [Movie Edition] will be released in a week.

Meanwhile, other companies on Blue Star are also intensively producing.

However, their scripts need to be conceived on the spot, and the plots require discussion. Even if some companies discuss while producing, their speed is still not as fast as Polestar's.

Although some large gaming companies, with their rich game narratives, also released a good number of movie promotions.

Currently, though, Polestar still dominates the film market.

Moreover, these are just personal life stories, biographies.

Zhao Ming plans to release famous battles and war [Movie Editions] in the later stage.

But before that.

We still need to take advantage of the current momentum to release personal stories first and capture the market.

Back in the office.

As soon as he entered the room.

Zhao Ming saw Shen Qinghan waiting. Zhao Ming asked:

"How long have you been here?"

"Why didn't you come to call me?"

Shen Qinghan replied:

"I just came in too."

"Saw you walking back."

"The movie sector is now stable."

"Next step is to continuously release [Movie Editions]."

"Looking at it this way."

"Movies will also become a mainstay of the company."

"We still need to clarify the company's next steps."

Games remain the main focus.

However, the 'Earth' series and the [Huaxia] Gourmet series restaurants have basically become independent.

Since the 'Earth' series mostly features World War II-era, retro-style toys, they have captured a significant market, while even those who do not play games rave about the [Huaxia] Gourmet series restaurants after trying them.

They have become regulars of those restaurants.

There is less reliance on the game itself, though necessary advertisements have to exist, but not excessively.

To avoid annoyance.

Then there's the movie sector.

Although it only came online recently, it has already taken the Blue Star market by storm with its quantity and storyline, and with this beginning, future developments need careful study.

After all, the movie sector is too deeply interconnected and can't be separated from gaming.

Zhao Ming had previously discussed this with Shen Qinghan and thought about it further over the past couple of days, and said:

"Games, merchandise, dining, these proceed as usual."

"In terms of movies."

"I plan to link them with games."

"In the later stage, when characters interact in-game, I will add a marker to NPCs, indicating they have a personal biography associated with them."

"So if players are interested in them, they can directly search for their name or code in Polestar's Viewing Library."

"To find the corresponding personal biography."

As for this.

Zhao Ming's idea is simple.

Directly link them.

Of course.

This also relates to Blue Star's technology.

On Earth, they make various films, and sometimes a single character can have multiple different versions filmed.

Although each has its unique features.

It inevitably seems confusing.

But things are different here on Blue Star.

Since they are all rendered using photonic supercomputing and backed by the [Earth Database], one could say it's a 1:1 restoration of the plot.

The characters in the games and in the [Movie Edition] share the same storyline and face, just that the [Movie Edition] isolates them.

So when players become interested in a character during the game storyline.

If they find that this character has a [Movie Edition] biography.

They click in to watch.

That's the character's life from the game, with the same face throughout, perfectly blending together.

This advantage.

Makes Polestar's movies naturally integrate with the games.

There's no situation of a character appearing differently in size and shape across movies and TV shows.

That kind of scenario is not only jarring but also hard to become immersed in.

The advantage for Zhao Ming is that he controls everything, so linking them directly is no issue, and there are no other fan-made versions, always maintaining individual character focus.

Zhao Ming continued:

"And not just that."

"In the later stages, the [Movie Edition] will feature many battles and wars."

"Not just individual biographies."

"The advantage of such biographies is that they can showcase collective character portraits."

"For example, during a battle."

"At the most crucial moment, if a commander suddenly issued a wrong command."

"That sudden wrong command led to the annihilation of the whole army."

"When netizens see this, will they not get engrossed and furiously scold that character?"

"If they search for that character."

"And find out there's indeed more, wouldn't they want to see his complete biography?"

"To see what that character was thinking at that time?"

"How could he issue such erroneous orders?"

Such matters, inciting people's outrage are plenty, reminiscent of incidents like Zhuge Liang weeping and executing Ma Su; how could anyone seeing it not criticize whether he could lead an army."

Since criticism occurs, curiosity will arise.

And out of curiosity, they will watch, anyway, in Blue Star's understanding, these are all fictional characters.

After the scolding, it'll be forgotten.

Zhao Ming aligned with Shen Qinghan on the company's upcoming development process to quickly steer movies onto the right track.

Once Shen Qinghan left, Zhao Ming once again looked at the movie production progress.

After ensuring there were no issues, he began researching new exclusive scenarios.

The Six Major Federations have been experiencing the [Modern Warfare] version for quite some time now, something intense needs to be introduced to them.
