Liuli was delayed in the office of the organizing committee all morning. As a result, the preliminary round of the mecha fighting competition that I wanted to see has ended. Okay, there's nothing to do with her here for the time being. Liuli can still go to the finals.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Liuli went to the hall on the first floor of the Science and Technology Museum. The big screen shows the list of finalists. Liuli looked at the 30 places that entered the finals. Most of them were divided among the contestants of the Intermediate Military Academy, which is named after the four bases. Of the ten people who participated in the Capital Star Intermediate Military Academy, only five of them made it to the finals.

This result was not surprising to everyone, including the participating players. The Intermediate Military Academy, named after the four bases, is located on a planet close to the four bases. So every now and then, there will always be fish from the front line that slip through the net and end up on their planet. Therefore, even if they are all trainee mechs, those who have participated in actual combat and those who have only practiced on the star network have different levels of actual combat. Especially in terms of some on-the-spot reactions, and micro-manipulation of mechs in the face of danger. There really is a world of difference between the two.

The five finalists of the Capital Star Intermediate Military Academy are all classmates from Class A. They were able to make it to the finals. Or thanks to the mission, from time to time to participate in the actual combat. But even then, they don't rank much higher. Among them, Jiang Hongjie ranked third in the preliminary round. Another Song Qingchu ranked tenth. The other three were all twenty away. Ruri looked at the first and second place. are all familiar names, and the first place is Guan Zihao of Qinglong Intermediate Military Academy. The second place went to Sun Yi of the White Tiger Intermediate Military Academy. Both of them participated in the same Federal Scout Academy's comprehensive ability competition as Ruri. At that time, these two people were the leaders of the Qinglong Scout Academy and the White Tiger Military Academy. The two also participated in the celebration of the Capital Star Scout Academy. For Liuli, these two are also acquaintances. Liuli still knows a lot about Jiang Hongjie's ability. Seeing that he lost to these two, Liuli took it for granted.

At the Qinglong base, Liuli saw Guan Zihao driving a mecha to fight. In Liuli's opinion, Guan Zihao's fighting style is quite neat. It is completely honed from actual combat. And Sun Yi, who can be as famous as Guan Zihao, how weak can he be? Even those who are behind Jiang Hongjie. The points between them are also about the same. Until the last minute, the final ranking is unpredictable. Moreover, the fourth place behind Jiang Hongjie is Yue Haoqiang of Baishaxing Intermediate Military Academy. This is also a master with a lot of practical experience. Liuli suddenly looked forward to the arrival of the finals. The best players in this age group will definitely give her the best game.

When the finals began, Ruri sat in the viewing room. Put on the helmet-like lander, and in an instant, you are in a huge space. Liuli has a feeling of seeing a large piece of real landscape. This TM is more 3D than 3D.

Look at the thirty mechs in the universe. Although they are all junior mechas, when they are in it, they always feel that these mechas are very powerful. As an audience, Liuli doesn't know which person is sitting in each mecha? You can only admire their heroic appearance here.

Liuli found that yesterday's Commander Contest was on a virtual battlefield. The same is true for today's mech combat matches. Does this mean that the federation pays more attention to their training in actual combat? Ruri's right hand touched it in the void. The void was like an invisible, transparent screen, rippling at the touch of glass. Then this time the mission of the final also appeared on the screen.

The task of the final is not to require the mechs to play in pairs. Instead, they were asked to wipe out as many Zerg as possible on the battlefield within three hours. The points are then calculated based on the number and level of the Zerg destroyed. Finally, they are ranked according to the number of points.

Although it is a virtual mecha, all the data is the same as the real mecha. The power of the mecha is the same as that of a real-life junior mecha. The loss, including being hit, is also calculated on a practical basis. The energy consumption of the mech is also calculated based on the actual situation. Therefore, when competing, it is not just a matter of blindly trying to kill the Zerg. If you are hit by the Zerg, you will be judged to be dead, and the match will end early. If you don't pay attention to the protection of the mecha and the consumption of energy, it is likely that the match will end early.

So it's a game based on the real situation. It not only tests the ability of mech warriors to control mechs to kill enemies. It also tests the familiarity of the mecha warriors with the mecha and their mastery of the mecha situation in battle. How do I kill enemies on the battlefield and avoid getting hurt? How to kill enemies effectively with minimal energy consumption? How do you know your ability to kill the Zerg you can kill? This is the competition held by the organizing committee this time, so it must be really assessed.

Ruri is going to be a commander, though. But the commander also needs to know about his mechs. Besides, his brothers are all mecha warriors. So Ruri can't even become a mecha warrior. But her vision is still very good. She could tell at a glance how capable these mech warriors were. From the perspective of an onlooker, she could even see the weaknesses of some mechfighters. This is the kind of eye she has cultivated from countless battle images.

Thirty mechas, under the control of mecha warriors, fought a battlefield full of zergs. The mechs on the entire battlefield can be divided into two types, ranged mechs and melee mechs.

Ranged mechs are good at attacking Zerg with thermal weapons. Judging from the entire arena, eleven mechs are long-range mechs. They are on the periphery of the battlefield, attacking the Zerg from a distance with lightspeed guns or sniper shells. Liuli can see that these people's marksmanship is very good, and the shooting accuracy is very high. Basically, every bullet, every shell hit the Zerg. The attack of the long-range mecha staged a visual feast for the spectators. The shells and the beams of lasers are intertwined and shining dazzlingly on the battlefield. It was as if the starry sky was completely illuminated.

Although the attack of the long-range mecha is majestic and shocking, the battle of the melee mecha is even more exciting.

Melee mechs generally use cold weapons. They wielded giant Ionic Shock Swords. The weapon itself shines. This makes their attacks look particularly dazzling, as if they have magical effects.

Liuli could see at a glance that the No. 4 mecha was Guan Zihao. First, the fighting style of this mecha is consistent with the fighting style of Guan Zihao driving the mecha in Liuli's memory. I haven't seen it for two years, and the mecha's movements when attacking have become more and more clean. And as long as it's the Zerg attacked by Mecha No. 4. In addition to fending off the attacks of the Zerg. Mecha No. 4's attack moves are always directed towards the Zerg's weakness. This is only possible for those who have participated in actual combat and fought many times against the Zerg.

Liuli found that most of the mecha in the arena fought like this. Presumably, they are all contestants of the Intermediate Military Academy named after the four bases. Only those who have been fighting with the Zerg all year round will practice this kind of combat skill that the knife is going to the weakness of the Zerg.

Liuli looked around for a while before finding the mecha controlled by Jiang Hongjie. Liuli is very clear about Jiang Hongjie's fighting style. So she recognized at a glance that the mecha warrior in the No. 20 mecha was Jiang Hongjie.

Jiang Hongjie's combat effect is good, and he is very talented in mecha manipulation. But compared to the contestants of the intermediate military academy named after the four bases. The mecha he manipulates is not so agile in its movements. The killing action is not clean enough, and there are always some habitual small movements. It may not be obvious in normal times, but during the competition, his mechs will consume energy a little faster than others. If the energy is enough, he'll be fine enough to last three hours of fighting. Otherwise, he will be the first to leave the battlefield because he runs out of energy.

Putting aside those subtle details, Liuli had to admit that Jiang Hongjie's battle was really a knife into the flesh. When the Ionic Oscillating Sword made contact with the Zerg's hard forelimbs, the sound echoed around it like metal colliding. and the point of light that burst out like a spark at the collision site made these audiences enthusiastic.

Even a commander like Ruri, who is known for his calmness. Seeing such a battle, there was also a burst of blood boiling in his chest. At this time, all the audience felt a kind of regret that they could not be born as mecha warriors. Liuli also had such regrets in her heart. But it soon calmed down. Although he and she had to go to the road of commander because of their physical conditions. However, as early as two or three years ago, she had already experienced the ups and downs of the profession of commander that were different from other professions. She genuinely loves the profession. Maybe she can't become a mecha warrior, and driving a mecha makes her feel a little regretful. After all, as a time-traveler in the 21st century, there is always a trace of longing in my heart for mecha that have not existed in the previous world. But now, if someone tells her that she can choose to become a mechwarrior, she just has to give up being called a commander. Ruri will also choose to become a commander without hesitation. Because becoming a Legendary Commander is no longer just a goal. It has become the ideal in Liuli's heart.

Liuli's efforts have changed from striving to achieve the goal to striving for the realization of the ideal. It's a sublimation on a spiritual level.

Liuli tried hard to suppress the blood in her heart. She began to observe the game with the attitude of a commander. She pondered if she was the commander of this battle. In the face of these mecha warriors, how should she deploy them so that they can give full play to their abilities in battle.

Three hours passed in a flash, and a few people ended the race early. Jiang Hongjie's mecha lasted three hours after all. Liuli analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each mecha in her heart. Then prepare to wait until you go back and tell your teammates.

In the evening, the results of the game came out. There are no changes to the list of those who made it to the top 10. Jiang Hongjie is still in third place. It's just that Song Qingchu played well in the afternoon, and he advanced a few places and ranked fifth.

After the award ceremony, Ruri looked at the college's points. The Capital Star Intermediate Military Academy, plus the points obtained today, has a total of thirty-four points. Although it is still ranked first, the points of the intermediate military academy named after the four major bases are very tight with their school. The second-ranked Qinglong Intermediate Military Academy has 32 points. The third-place White Tiger Intermediate Military Academy has 31 points. The two intermediate military academies, Xuanwu and Suzaku, tied for fourth place with 30 points. Therefore, whether they can win the team championship is still unknown for several of their top-ranked schools.
