Xu Hao returned to the Force Academy, and the virtual battle pod for the Force had been installed.

The virtual reality technology of the Sima Empire is extremely widely used, and the military exercises of various military units are carried out in the virtual system. Except that there is no psychological pressure to face death, that kind of military exercise is no different from a real war.

Battles between the Force can also be conducted through a dedicated virtual system, which is still a bit different from actual combat, but it is also one of the ways to accumulate combat experience.

In the second semester, teaching has shifted to actual combat, and the college has equipped each new student with a virtual combat pod, which is expensive and worth up to 800,000 credits.

Fenix said excitedly: "This battle cabin is very timely, next month is the decisive day, you hurry up and practice, help me and Sister Yun on the decisive day, if we get good results on the decisive day, Sister Yun and I may be able to become official students of the military academy." ”

Xu Hao nodded, turned his head to Lu Ruoyun and said: "At the family meeting, I reached a preliminary intention with Wanfang Group, and they will transfer 50 million to me later, and 200 million per year in the future, which is enough for you to arm the Firebird." ”

Lu Ruoyun and Fenex were overjoyed, and Lu Ruoyun smiled and said, "Then I will immediately buy another batch of slave soldiers to supplement them and let them train for another month." Finney and I are preparing for the final day, and when the final day is over, we'll open the Fire Island to rob the space pirates. ”

Xu Hao shook his head: "Is the decisive day really that important to you?" ”

Phinex immediately said: "Of course, this is a major event in the Empire, especially since we are students in the online class of the military academy, this is our chance to come out." ”

The Seema Imperial military, the Force Committee, and the Game and Entertainment Bureau have jointly developed a large-scale virtual battle platform interface. This platform can connect to several esports games such as MechTroopers, Sniper, Space Fighters, Fleet Battle, and many more, all of which are based on reality and extremely realistic.

This is one of the channels for the military to select talents in the civilian sector, and the best players are close to the military masters. These games have professional leagues, and there are a large number of teenagers involved in these games.

The Four-Star Federation also has a similar platform, and a neutral Level 5 civilization country has put forward a proposal to dock the two large-scale battle platforms of the Sima Empire and the Four-Star Federation in their country, so that they can compete across borders.

This suggestion was echoed by both countries, and as a result, young people from both countries joined the battle. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and later even the Force's virtual battle platform is also connected, and the Force can also compete across borders to increase their actual combat experience.

After thousands of years of development, that neutral country has now integrated the platform interfaces of more than a dozen level 5 civilization countries.

Every two years, the Empire and the Four-Star Federation hold a "Great War" on the virtual platform, which is known as the "Day of Decisive Battle" by the people of the two countries.

Originally, it was just a folk game competition, but now, although the regular armies of the two countries do not participate, military cadets and reserve soldiers have intervened, making this "big war" show a high military level, more and more regularized, and more and more intense.

The Sima Empire and the Four-Star Federation are both in the late stage of the 5th level of the Lunar Empire, and they are the two most powerful countries in this vast star field.

Other countries in the middle and early stages of Level 5 civilizations, as well as a large number of countries with low civilizations, are very concerned about the two-year "Armageddon". They can learn the military strategy, operational thinking, and direction of weapon development of advanced civilizations.

The "decisive day" is also a way to carry out patriotic education and increase national cohesion. Under the promotion of the media of the two countries, the "decisive day" has become a culture.

Lu Ruoyun and Phoenix, who studied at the military academy, were also deeply influenced by the culture of "Decisive Battle Day". This is a grand stage, military cadets, militia elites, professional e-sports players, and game hardcore players are all involved, some piloting mechs and fighter planes, some commanding fleets, and some using shipboard weapons to form a "ragtag army" and fight for national honor.

It can be said that this is a "decisive battle" in which the whole people participate, and even if they cannot participate in person, they will watch the live broadcasts of various media and cheer for their country's "army".

There are many grand events in this vast star field, among which the most influential is the "Century Gathering" of the Force, in addition to the "Knighthood", "Interstellar Special Warfare Competition", "Interstellar Sports Event" and so on, and this "Decisive Day" is also one of the grand events that attract countless attention, and it is the largest number of participants.

Students like Lu Ruoyun and Fenix in the online class of the military academy have the opportunity to become regular students if they have excellent performance on the "decisive day".

Phoenixes made up her mind to pull Xu Hao into the "Decisive Day" to help herself, and either the apprenticeship or the official apprentice could participate in the "Decisive Day", but the Force Warriors could not participate.

Xu Hao didn't object, he also wanted to experience this kind of interstellar war.

As the day of the showdown approached, a variety of media outlets reported on the news. As long as you go online, you can see the scenes of the "decisive day" over the years. The freshmen of the Force Academy were also aroused, and most of them were ready to log in to the platform on the day of the decisive battle and have a big battle.

There were still two or three days before the decisive day, and Lu Ruoyun and Fenix got together all the time to mumble in a low voice, check the map on the Internet from time to time, and compare and contrast on the star map.

During this time, Xu Hao often logged in to the Force's exclusive virtual battle system to fight against other Forcers, and also accumulated a lot of combat experience.

The day before the decisive battle, Lu Ruoyun came to find Xu Hao.

She looked a little sullen: "Finnie and I have been arranged in the cannon fodder unit, and the first wave of charges from the flank command will not play much role in the overall battle situation." Either you don't have to help us, you can join the Force squadron and play a bigger role. ”

Xu Hao said categorically: "I will join your team and help you fight more enemy battle damage, which is also the credit of your team." You have a problem with your mentality now, the pawn in chess seems to be less important than the rook and horse, but the key to winning chess sometimes depends on a pawn. Every soldier on the battlefield has his role, depending on how you command and use it.

"You are students in the online correspondence class, and you are only in the first grade, so you should be able to understand that they can't give you too important a position. But as long as you play well in this position, I believe that you will also find out when you evaluate the performance of the military academy. You need to adjust your mindset. ”

Lu Ruoyun attaches great importance to her performance on the day of the decisive battle, but she is very frustrated that she is placed in such a position. Xu Hao was a bystander, and said a few words of encouragement, Lu Ruoyun was a soldier after all, so he quickly put aside his negative emotions and calmed down to make a detailed battle plan.
