254 First Battle
254 First Battle
The Mercury flew back to that strange planet, and countless robots flew down from the Mercury and busily worked on the land.
After a general understanding of the situation in Xinghai, Zhong Yun made a preliminary decision to find a place to settle down and develop his strength. In this chaotic sea of stars, if the strength is not strong enough, it will be destroyed in minutes. So strengthening yourself is a top priority.
And the countless instruments and raw materials in the Mercury warehouse, if used well, can greatly enhance his strength in a short period of time.
Moreover, many of the 8,000 passengers of the Pearl are mecha divisions, and arming them is also a help. There aren't many others on the Mercury, and a supply of a few thousand high-level mechs is not a problem.
Moreover, Zhong Yun also wanted to solve the mystery of the layer of rocks on this planet, and he always felt that there was a huge secret hidden in that circle of rocks.
Under the tremendous pressure of survival, the 8,000 victims rescued by Zhong Yun all went to work. In order to organize them to the maximum and play the maximum role. Zhong Yun carried out militarized management, and selected people with management experience to act as managers.
However, people will not always be obedient, especially when they grow up in a civilized society, and freedom and democracy are already deeply ingrained in their hearts. They refused to obey some orders that they considered unreasonable.
As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh, the Mercury is all up to Zhong Yun, plus with the support of George, he used some small divisive means to isolate the uncooperative elements, and locked them up on the charge of not obeying orders. And reward the best people for their work.
With such a pass, 8,000 people became obedient.
Although Zhong Yun has not participated in specific management work, these methods can be said to be self-taught.
However, the complete establishment of prestige depends on a long period of accumulation, and Zhong Yun has indeed put a lot of thought into these people, which is his team to survive in the sea of stars. Naturally, it is very important.
Of the 8,000 men, 5,000 were women and 3,000 were men. There were more than 500 children and 1,000 elderly people. Most of them are not combatants. However, there are many experts in various industries.
In the end, Zhong Yun could only barely form a mecha team of about one hundred and fifty people, most of whom were rookie level.
In order to improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time, Zhong Yun gritted his teeth and let them enter the "actual combat simulation training" for high-intensity training. Only in a situation close to actual combat can they quickly form combat effectiveness.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, a base soon took shape on the planet. There are countless high-quality metal minerals here, and Zhong Yun has made great efforts to refine dozens of high-performance alloys, and the base built with these alloys can be said to be indestructible.
After the construction of the base was completed, Zhong Yun moved down the machine on the Mercury to make energy blocks, and all kinds of materials needed for energy blocks could be found nearby. This also means that he will no longer have to have a headache for the lack of energy in the future.
When the construction of the base was in full swing, Zhong Yun received a warning signal and decided to settle here, and after he decided to settle here, he set up warning devices at a distance of one billion kilometers from this planet, in all directions, forming a warning network without missing anything. If a ship approaches from either direction, it will be spotted.
Zhong Yun immediately convened an emergency meeting, and in addition to the six people of Chu Tiange, Ming Yunyu, and George, there were also five engineers who had performed well in the construction of the base.
"How many ships does the enemy have? What level? Ming Yunyu spoke first.
"The enemy is two in total, and judging by the model, it should be equivalent to a battleship of the Kiriyama class." Zhong Yun said.
The so-called "X-Mountain-class" is the standard warship of the first stage of the intermediate civilized country, which may be called differently, but the level is the same. Everyone here knows this.
"That shouldn't be a threat to us." They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Although they don't know what level Mercury is, at least it is also at the "satellite" level. It is not easy to deal with two "Kiriyama-class" warships.
Zhong Yun was not as optimistic as them, he said in a deep voice, "They should just come to explore the way, and the real main force has not started yet." We need to be ready to fight tough battles. ”
War? A scorching light flashed in the eyes of the six of Chu Tiange at the same time, after being away from the battlefield for several years, the blood in their bodies was boiling hot at the thought of returning to the battlefield again.
Among the people present, except for a few people from Davao, the others had never experienced the battlefield, and their faces were unconsciously a little nervous.
"We only have one warship capable of fighting, and it is difficult to deal with the army of an entire country." Zhong Yun said and looked around at everyone, "We have more than 6,000 laborers, and we can barely form a fleet. But there was a serious shortage of battleships. The enemy will not give us time to build new ships. The only way to do this is to capture it from the enemy. ”
"However, it is not easy to capture intact warships from the enemy." Twenty-one said with a frown.
"I have a way to do this." Zhong Yun clapped his palms, "That's the situation, now I'll arrange the war, Ming Group, Captain George, during our expedition, the base will be entrusted to you." ”
Ming Yunyu and George learned from Chu Tiange and them, stood up, and made a courtesy, "Yes, captain." ”
Zhong Yun turned to the five engineers and said, "The progress of each project cannot be delayed, and it must be completed on time." ”
The five of them should get up.
Then Zhong Yun said to Wang Xiaoer, "Xiaoer, after we go to war, the security of the base will be handed over to you, is there any problem." ”
Wang Xiaoer stood up abruptly and said loudly, "No problem, Captain." ”
"Good." Zhong Yun shouted, "As long as we are united, we will definitely be able to defeat any enemy." ”
Zhong Yun led Chu Tiange and them into battle, the defense system near the base has not yet been completed, and it is impossible for him to let the enemy go deep and threaten the safety of the base, so he must take the initiative to attack.
The Mercury moved at an ordinary speed, and in order to prevent the two "prey" from being frightened, the Mercury was moving forward in stealth mode.
In the main control room, Zhong Yungao sat on the command platform, looking at Chu Tiange and them below, the five of them all looked at the operation console intently, and he said, "Do you know why I took you out?" ”
"Is the captain trying to train us?" Zeng Xiaosan turned his head and guessed.
Zhong Yun was noncommittal, "Have you ever entered the main control room of a battleship before?" ”
"We are all just pawns, we only have the life to go to the front line, how can we be on the spaceship." Ruomeng smiled bitterly.
Zhong Yun nodded, just as he expected, "I believe you are all very good fighters. Among our more than 8,000 people, there are only six of you who have been on the battlefield, and you are the only ones I can trust. ”
"In war, no matter how powerful a mecha is, it is difficult to change the direction of a war. Only warships can decide the outcome of a war. It's just a waste to have you as mechs. I need you to be a qualified ship commander. ”
The five people below glanced at each other, and they all saw ecstasy in each other's eyes, and none of the soldiers did not want to become a battleship commander. Like the saying, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. It's the same now.
Listening to Zhong Yun's meaning, he wanted to train them to become a battleship commander, why not make them ecstatic.
"I'm going to teach you how to be a good commander, and it's up to you what you can do in the future. But I want to believe that you will not disappoint me. Zhong Yun looked them in the eye tightly.
"Boss, I'm going to make a great commander." Zeng Xiaosan was so excited that he almost jumped up, becoming a battleship commander was a dream he had since he was a child, but this dream was too far away before. Now that his dream can come true, how can he not be excited.
"We won't let you down." The five of them roared in unison, and the majestic voice echoed in the main control room.
Zhong Yun nodded with satisfaction, what he lacked most now was talents who could fight, and if there were no ready-made ones, he could only cultivate them by himself. These six people barely met his requirements, and they were also chasing ducks to the shelves.
The enemy was already about to enter the firing range, Zhong Yun sharply increased his speed, and the two enemy warships immediately spotted the Mercury. Suddenly, they saw a huge ship appear not far ahead, but they did not panic, not only did not retreat, but accelerated towards the Mercury.
"The commander of the other side is a talent." Inside the Mercury, Zhong Yun said to the five people, "If you suddenly encounter a powerful enemy, if you are very close, you must not panic, let alone turn around." That will only be a target for the other side. The most correct choice is to rush towards the enemy. ”
"The fact that the enemy was able to hide from your controller and was discovered by you at such a close distance means that the opponent is either a stealth ship specializing in sneak attacks, or a level higher than yours is very fast. If it's the former, there's still a fight, if it's like this...... That's only to blame your bad life. ”
At this time, the two opposing warships opened fire, shooting at the body of the Mercury, and two small sparks exploded.
The five of them all looked at him, Zhong Yun ignored it, such an attack couldn't even rub off the skin of the Mercury. There was no intention of firing guns.
"Commander, why don't you fire back?" Xiao San couldn't help but ask, after getting on the spaceship, they all changed their names, not calling Zhong Yun the captain, but the commander.
"It's not the time yet." Zhong Yun shook his head, he looked at the large screen, which showed the distance between the Mercury and the enemy. As the distance quickly closed, the enemy's artillery fire became more and more intense.
The Mercury's energy shield was also activated, and a burst of light cannons burst into circles and ripples on the silver-white energy shield. But it can't hurt the Mercury's hull in the slightest.
"In fact, there is no trick in war, it depends on who has more warships and is more advanced. And stratagem can only be useful when the strength is equal. Zhong Yun said.
By this time, the Mercury was already less than a thousand kilometers away from the enemy.
"Prepare ——。" Zhong Yun waved his hand and gave the order quietly.
A baffle at the front of the Mercury opened, revealing a huge cannon port, and the surrounding layer of silver-white energy shields disappeared, and the rain of cannon fire poured down on the Mercury.
"Launch." Zhong Yun gave the order, and the space in front of the huge cannon muzzle was slightly distorted. Almost at the same time, the two battleships on the opposite side suddenly burst into flames, and rushed towards Mercury in such a strange way.
The five people who were staring closely at the big screen all felt a little inexplicable, first the cannon on the Mercury failed to fire, and then the other party collectively muted fire. Is it time for the enemy's cooldown? Or is the energy exhausted?
The Mercury changed direction slightly, dodged the two enemy ships that were rushing straight ahead, turned around, and caught up with the two ships that had been flying forward.
Two huge robotic arms stretched out from the Mercury and seized two enemy ships.
"Go over here. Be careful.
The five of them looked at each other, it was really too strange that the two enemy ships were obediently caught by the Mercury like this. They couldn't figure out what was going on.
Now that Zhong Yun gave the order, the five of them could only obey the order, and they were divided into two groups. The strongest Chu Tiange and the twenty-one group, Ruomeng, Xiaosan, and Yuwan are in the first group. Go to the launch bay and board the respective mechs and carefully follow the arm to enter the enemy ship.
The first time they attacked the enemy ship, they were very nervous, their attention fell to the limit, and with the tacit cooperation, they slowly moved forward.
Soon, they discovered the strangeness, and along the way, they couldn't see the shadow of an enemy. They drove straight into the enemy's main control room.
Strange, they were also relieved, as long as the main control room was occupied, the overall situation would be settled.
Opening the door to the main control room with the decoder Zhong Yun gave them, they pointed their guns inside, only to take a look at them and be taken aback.
In the main control room, there were people in every seat, but everyone was crooked, as if they were dead.
After searching the spaceship, thousands of corpses were found in the launch module, and it turned out that all the people rushed to the launch module, apparently trying to board the mecha to fight.
At this time, the five of them were so impressed by Zhong Yun's unpredictable methods that they threw themselves to the ground, silently killing the entire spaceship, but did not hurt the spaceship. This is unheard of.
No wonder Zhong Yun was so confident at that time, saying that he would capture these two enemy ships, and he did it.
Returned triumphantly with two intact battleships. George: They all found it incredible. In particular, George, as a captain of a ship, had formal military training and knew how difficult it was to capture enemy ships.
Unless the enemy surrenders on his own initiative, it is even more difficult to capture a battleship intact than to ascend to the sky.
But Zhong Yun didn't bring back a single prisoner this time, and at first George thought that Zhong Yun had killed all the people who surrendered, and his face was extremely pale. The act of killing prisoners would be absolutely frowned upon by everyone in the civilized world.
But after questioning Chu Tiange and them in detail, he knew the truth of the matter. He was stunned at the time, there is such a weapon in this world?
It is true that killing the people inside the battleship without harming the battleship also has such a weapon in the Yanbin Empire, but the effective range is less than a hundred kilometers. If you can break through within 100 kilometers, you will already be able to distinguish the winner and loser, and you can still use this weapon?
So, no warship would be equipped with such weapons.
And according to Chu Tiange, as soon as the enemy entered a thousand kilometers, Zhong Yun ordered the launch and killed all the enemies.
The effective range of a thousand kilometers is ten times that of the Yanbin Empire.
Who is Zhong Yun?
Such a question became stronger and stronger in George's heart, and he heard Ming Yunyu say that Zhong Yun came from a country in the first stage of intermediate civilization. He didn't believe it at all.
To be able to have a spaceship that is more advanced than the Iwain Empire, and a weapon that is more advanced than the Iwain Empire, if such a person is from Davao, it will be a big joke.
It is more likely that he came from a high-level civilized country, and the level of civilization was higher than that of the Ge'an Empire. Perhaps, it's another galaxy.
George would never have imagined that Zhongyun was indeed from another galaxy, from a planet billions of light-years away from the Omi Galaxy.
Zhong Yun asked the people who had been captured from the Beast Country to identify them, and sure enough, the two warships were from the Beast Country.
In order to meet the imminent and more violent attacks, Zhong Yun accelerated the construction of the defense system, and even slowed down the construction of other aspects first.
At the same time, Zhong Yun selected some people who could operate the spaceship among the eight thousand people, which was not difficult, there were quite a few surviving crew members on the Pearl, and with a little training, they could do it.
Chu Tiange and Wang Xiaoer were pushed to be the first two captains, and the other four were assigned to study on two warships as trainee captains.
In order to get them into the state as soon as possible, Zhong Yun turned on the "War Simulation" function in the "Actual Combat Simulation Training", which is a function upgraded after Xiao Zero's second restart.
Chu Tiange's six people fought online every day, and Zhong Yun also brought in George to spar.
As a regular captain of the Iwabin Empire, Saji has a high level of tactics, because it is never too peaceful in space, so every captain has to undergo five years of military training. Military literacy is high.
The command level of the six people has improved rapidly, commanding more than a dozen battles every day that are infinitely close to reality, and even the most stupid people will make rapid progress.
They may not have extraordinary command talents, but war is also an empirical discipline, and a commander who has not been on the battlefield will never be able to become a qualified commander.
In ordinary military academies, there is no such thing as a command specialty, and even if there is, it is not training battleship commanders.
Such courses are available only in training institutions for senior officers in the army, and the students in them are military personnel with high ranks and potential.
There is no commander who is a commander as soon as he comes out, he has come up from the middle level step by step, without decades of qualifications, coupled with a strong background, it is absolutely impossible to become a commander.
Chu Tiange's six lives were good, and when he met Zhong Yun, a freak, he trained in an almost real environment like "War Simulation Training". Even the most powerful countries cannot provide such learning conditions. A war exercise will cost enormous manpower and financial resources. Not to mention a real war. No country can afford to consume it.
