Chapter 48, Simulating Interstellar Wars

The last two hours of the afternoon course were reserved for the students to familiarize themselves with the simulated battle system and fight each other. With Eva's help, Li De quickly became familiar with various operations.

After learning about the whole simulation system, both Li De and Goth were amazed by it.

"No wonder you humans can compete with those two races. You've done a better job of studying war than the Purdos. If our people had done this kind of research, maybe the results would have been different. Goth sighed. Ever since he came to the military academy, he has discovered that when it comes to military research, humanity is in a state of leadership.

"Each race has its own strengths. The Poolords have their special space technology and soul arts, and the bugs have strong flesh and large numbers. We human beings can only develop our own science and technology and continue to accumulate experience to progress. ”

"Purdo's soul technique? That's stealing from us too! Goth said nonchalantly.

Li De ignored Goth's tantrum and asked Eva, "Eva, can you do this simulation system?" ”

"No, his console is too computational. I still have at least 100 times the speed of scaling and a thousand times more storage. ”

"So powerful? But someday you will. I'll give you more."

"Trash?" Before Lide could finish speaking, Eva added.

"By the way, what's going on with those things?" It occurred to Li De that he had picked up the garbage he had picked up all night the night before school started. Now in the bracelet space, Eva is operating the construction machine, and people are sorting and processing garbage.

"That's pretty much the same thing. It should be possible to form two more engineering machines. But in terms of performance, it is much worse than what the owner bought. ”

"If you have it, you can do it. Now it's the number of tubes. Looks like more materials are needed. Li De had a headache. He picks up garbage all night, and there are very few parts that can be used, and they are all old. And the price of new parts is too expensive, and he is reluctant to buy them.

"I build yì you can find opportunities to go to the battlefield, where there is a lot of war garbage. Firearms, machines, and even chariots. Goth said to Reed. He was also anxious to recover his soul power.

"Classmate Li De? Is there time? Let's practice our tactics? A crisp voice came. It was Mary who came to Leed's side.

"Huh? Why with me? Li De was a little puzzled. He also knows the power of beautiful women, and he doesn't want to get into any trouble for them.

"Huh! Upload drills and the tactics you taught me are quite effective. I think you have a lot of interesting tactics. Mary smiled and talked to Lide, which really caused a lot of discussion.

"Okay, you sit across from you. The battlefield is yours to choose. Li De said, gesturing to the desk across from him.

Mary didn't say much and sat down at once. The virtual screen lit up, and the two began to set up the army face to face.

In the academy mutual practice system, each person has a certain number of troops. The combat effectiveness of the army is different depending on the branch of the army. The combat effectiveness of the average giant mantis is set at 10, and the combat power of the Marine is 20.

At the beginning of the battle, Mary chose the interstellar battlefield to which she was accustomed, and both of them chose a force of 100,000 combat power.

In an interstellar battle, the combat power of a capital battleship is as high as 50,000. Mary chose a capital battleship as her flagship, then a number of destroyers and two fast A-class frigates. The destroyer needs 20,000 combat strength, and the frigate is 10,000. Of the remaining 10,000 combat strength, she chose a dozen fighters.

And Li De's choice is completely incomprehensible. He chose twenty D-class frigates. Each such frigate has only 5,000 combat strength. Traditional interstellar torpedoes were used, and the artillery range was limited.

At the beginning of the battle, Mary organized a fleet to approach quickly, and the fleet that saw Li De was all scattered and fled in different directions. The scope of the interstellar battlefield is huge, and such tactics make Mary completely confused.

Because the judgment of victory or defeat in battle is to defeat the opponent's chain of command, that is, the flagship. But when she saw Li De's twenty identical frigates, she felt that she had nowhere to start.

The D-class frigate was extremely fast, breaking away from Mary's fleet in an instant, always swimming outside the effective range of her laser main guns. Because the laser cannon is produced by the concentration of laser energy, in the case of too far away, the energy escape will greatly reduce the attack effect.

With the speed of a D-class frigate, it was still easy to avoid the pursuit of the main battleship, and Mary did not dare to send the fastest A-class frigate alone to pursue it. Because this is undoubtedly sending a lone wolf into the dog pack.

While Mary was hesitating about what to do, Lid's frigate took the lead in attacking. Twenty frigates fired forty interstellar torpedoes. The target was the area around Mary's flagship.

The speed of the interstellar torpedo is also extremely fast, although it is less than the speed of light, but it is still easy to catch up with the starship. Moreover, interstellar torpedoes have an automatic positioning and tracking system, and the firing range is only above the effective range of laser weapons.

Mary frowned, fired the cannon, and shot down the torpedo.

An explosion rang out, and fiery red light shone on the starship. After the firelight, Mary saw more torpedoes.

Without having time to think, Mary gave orders to destroyers and frigates. Moving away from the area at high speed, he fired at the pursuing torpedoes.

Rumble! It didn't take long to escape before Mary's main battleship ran into a situation. A D-class frigate appeared in her channel at some point. Mary was only concerned with dealing with torpedoes, but neglected to set the course.

The main battleship after being hit was damaged. Li De's D-class frigate turned out to be fully loaded with ammunition and blew half of the tail of the capital ship away.

"45% of the power remains, and 37% of the ......weapon system can be used." The computer quickly gave combat losses. The students who saw it around were also surprised!

Rumble! Another frigate, ramming into the wrecked capital ship. This time it hit the position of the bridge directly.

"The flagship is destroyed, the battle is over."

A battle ended quickly. Mary stared at the virtual screen with wide eyes, her mouth wide open, and she couldn't speak for a long time. Whether it was in the Air Force School or Starfleet before, Mary never thought of such a tactic.

In the past, in military academies, it was taught that it was necessary to reasonably match firepower, and to choose the main battleship with high defense as the flagship to ensure the survivability of the commander. So, under the conditions of limited combat effectiveness, Mary chose one capital ship and three battleships as escorts. It is also deliberately paired with light fighters to increase the flexibility of combat.

But in the battle just now, Reed's twenty D-class frigates appeared at once, so that she instantly lost the focus of the attack. And with limited attack power, it is impossible to spread out and chase it. Thinking about it now, Mary still felt that the tactics used by Reed were almost incomprehensible.

"What do you think of this play?" It was a long time before Mary asked.

"Before, when I was on the planet of Seleone, I participated in the war against the Zerg. I discovered that the Zerg have a flying insect that can explode on its own, which is a great blow to our troops. ”

"So you're following the example of the Zerg? It's insane! Mary was shocked when she heard this.

"My fleet is quickly dispersed, and the firing of torpedoes is actually to distract you and confuse you. Get your capital ship moving. Then I was able to take the frigates that I ambushed at the front by surprise. Li De patiently explained to Mary.

"Very good idea." The old instructor was also attracted by this battle between Li De and Mary. After all, Mary is known as the genius girl of this year's interstellar warfare, but she didn't expect to lose the first time she found someone to simulate the battle.

Actually, Li De also knows. If he had chosen to play hard-fought with a battleship, he would not have been able to defeat Mary in any case. So he opted for an opportunistic approach.

But if this method is used a second time, he doesn't know. If Mary's capital ships had not moved, but had relied on defensive artillery to shoot down all the torpedoes, Lid's attack would not have had any effect at all.

"Come on, you're playing with me." Jason walked up. Li De's cousin just now let him know that the tactics that Li De gave to Mary during the exercise were definitely not a line of inspiration for this kid. He has identified Li De as a dangerous person, a dangerous person who threatens to become the first in his age.

"I'm sorry, I don't like to fight men." Li De directly put it up and refused.

"What? Are you scared? I'm more than a land war with you. You should also be from the Army, right? Jason demanded strongly.

But Li De was unmoved. It's like not seeing Jason on the side, so he called up a video of a classic battle and watched it to himself.

Jason, who had eaten the closed door, did not move, and stared at Li De. All of a sudden, the situation became very deadlocked.

"Alright, all the students are back to their seats." When did the old instructor come out and relieve the situation. Whether he wanted it or not, Jason still had to listen to the instructor. He also hopes to be awarded the title of best cadet without leaving a stain.

"Classmate, have you seen the video of Admiral Mark Keane's battle when he was young? That's why I came up with this tactic. In that year, he also led the base's low-level warships to defeat the fleet of the Puldons. But that battle was even more thrilling. The old instructor said thoughtfully.

"That's, that's." Where have Li De seen any Mark Keane videos, but when the ready-made steps are given, he won't go down.

"It turned out to be grandpa's tactic, huh!" Mary snorted softly, thinking of her grandfather, who was recognized by the Federation as the first person in interstellar warfare. It seems that he is not wronged if he loses, but it is obviously my grandfather, and I don't even know about the battle video, how could he have seen it?

"Well, there's one last hour. Dear students, our task this semester is to complete at least 100 simulated battles. Each time you fight, your own soldier code can be automatically recorded. In addition to this, a dissertation is to be completed, requiring "

The afternoon of classes ended quickly. Still ignoring the angry gazes of Jason and Robben, Li De walked to the door of the classroom. But then, he regretted it.
