Strategizing Between Reality and Reality

In 2028, a full-scale war breaks out in the Middle East. The Islamic extremist religious alliance army set out from Syria with 1.28 Million people in an attempt to rule the entire Middle East. The alliance army was retreating steadily. In desperation, a secret operation called "Project Prism" was launched - connecting real-time battlefield footage to the global gaming network, allowing 3.8 Million players to sit in front of the screen and control drones, mechanical dogs, and long-range firepower. They thought they were just playing games, but every missile could determine the life or death of a group of people in the real desert. After four years of fierce fighting, the enemy was defeated one after another. But on the eve of victory, infiltrators sneaked into the player system and leaked the ground deployment to the extreme armed forces. Starlink was forced to cut off, and 3.8 Million players were "blind" in front of the screen at the same time. The "Eye of the Desert" was besieged by 30,000 enemy troops in an isolated desert city and narrowly escaped death. Siege, sacrifice, betrayal, despair - the twelve-man team was scattered and reunited in the blood and sand. Finally, the moment Starlink was rekindled, 3.8 Million player portraits lit up at the same time. They formed the largest "cloud rescue" in the history of human war, using drones to cover the sky and tear open the encirclement, and finally won the war.
