Chapter Seventy-Five, Mock Interstellar Warfare 1

The afternoon class was a new experience for Li De, which was a conducting simulation course.

In order to train future commanders and generals, the army has developed a combat system similar to the strategy. It's just that the details of this system are simulated more realistically, and all kinds of real environments, the abilities of various races, and so on are set according to reality.

At the same time, countless battles of mankind over the past hundred years have also been imported into it. The computer-simulated bugs or Puldos will react as they are recorded in the classic battles and respond to the most appropriate ones on the go.

And as a commander, on a huge projection screen, it is possible to command the army with gestures and even voices. You can also directly manually operate a tactical squad to achieve sneak attacks or other tactical purposes. There are also three battle scenes: land battles, planetary orbital space battles, and space interstellar battles.

Of course, in order to give the trainees a better understanding of their opponents, in this simulation system, the commander can also choose to control the Puldo or the bugs. The best way to understand your enemies is to be them.

The afternoon begins with an hour-long analysis of the classic battle. An instructor in his sixties analyzes a previous battle between humans and Puldos on a planet codenamed 327 from the podium.

"As you can see, this is a classic battle commanded by Admiral Kent. The distribution of the entire force shows that he is trying to occupy this high ground, and after occupying it, it will play a decisive role in the whole situation. The old instructor commented in monotonous language.

Li De was listening to the instructor's analysis while looking at some details of the battlefield on the virtual screen in front of his seat. Suddenly, the computer on his wrist vibrated and he received an email message.

"Boy, you'd better drop out of school now. Don't think Karin can cover you. There is a kind of evening to come to the gymnasium. "This is from Robben. It seems that he still has a bad grudge against his ambush during the exam.

"You kid, you taught Mary the tactics of the previous exercises, right? Who made you nosy? Come to the gym at night, or else...", another email, from Jason, the class leader.

"You're pretty good at making enemies! Son of the class leader and the principal, it seems that you are busy in the evening. Goth said with a smile in Lid's mind. He could tell Eva about the contents of the email.

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. ā€

"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?" ā€

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

"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?" Li De suddenly thought of the garbage he had spent an all-night picking up 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. ā€

"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 yƬ 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.

"Damn! Where is it possible to go to the battlefield like I am now? That's going to come later. What can be obtained now is some civilian equipment, so pay attention to using it first. Li De replied to Goth in his heart.

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

"Huh? Why with me? Li De was a little puzzled. He also knew the power of beauty, and he didn't want to get into any trouble for the beauty in front of him. He himself has a lot of trouble in the class, and there are two "dates" after class.

"Huh! The tactics you taught me during the last exercise were quite effective. I think you have a lot of interesting tactics. Mary smiled and talked to Li De, this action really made many boys in the class stare at Li De, and Mary's initiative to talk to Li De also caused a lot of discussion.

"Okay, you sit across from you. The battlefield is yours to choose. Li De ignored the unkind eyes on the side, said to himself, and pointed to the desk opposite him.

Mary didn't say much and sat down at once. The virtual screen on the desk lit up, projecting the operation interface of the simulated battle, and the two began to arrange 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. The general requirement of combat is equal combat effectiveness, and as for the combination of arms and the choice of tactics, it all depends on the commander's personal quality.

At the beginning of the battle, Mary chose the interstellar battlefield to which she was accustomed, and both chose a force of 2 million combat strength.

In a simulated interstellar battle, the combat power of a B-class main destroyer is as high as 1 million. Both A-class battleships and heavy cruisers have a combat strength of more than 5 million, and when they first started using the simulation system, the instructors did not allow them to use such fleets.

Mary chose one capital destroyer as her flagship, then three frigate ships and two fast D-class combat patrol boats. A number of other D-class and E-class reconnaissance ships and other functional ships were selected, as well as a large number of attack aircraft and fighters as auxiliaries.

Mary's grasp of the battleships and the configuration of the fleet even the old instructor who had just explained the battle seemed to nod again and again. It seems that the Keane tradition continues in Mary's generation.

And Li De's choice is completely incomprehensible. He chose a hundred D-class combat ships. Each such combat ship has only more than 10,000 combat strength. Traditional interstellar torpedoes were used, and the artillery range was limited.

The simulated battle between Li De and Mary also attracted the attention of many people. After all, Mary is the leader of the younger generation of the Keon family, known as the battleship family among the ten major families, and is also quite famous in the fleet. It is said that she has inherited from her family and is very talented in commanding battleships.

The second is that there are too many opponents of Li De, and there are not a few people who pay attention to Li De. The squad presidents, Jason Statham and Robben, both have bad intentions towards Li De, and when they see Li De doing simulated battle exercises with Mary, they will naturally pay attention to it. In addition, the old instructor was also asked by the principal, Rubin Snyder, to focus on observing Lide.

Therefore, after Li De chose so many D-class battleships, all the people watching from the side were surprised. Many people are wondering if Li De, who was born in the army, has never seen destroyers and frigates, so he thinks that this seemingly good D-class battleship is the main force of the war.

"I think this kid picking up garbage is just playing around." Robben Snyder said unceremoniously, while looking at Li De with disdainful fire-breathing eyes.

"It's also thanks to Miss Mary's kindness that she played with this kid for a while, so that he could see for a long time and know what interstellar warfare is." Said a man who was clearly Mary's suitor.

However, after choosing a hundred D-class warships, Li De did not choose another ship. A hundred battleships are lined up in a square formation in the corners of a huge spherical simulation screen.

The time to select a ship is five minutes, and when the time is up, the system automatically goes into combat readiness. Combat readiness is three minutes and is used to set the flagship and give combat orders to the fleet. Once the battle begins, all commands are issued by the flagship, and the troops receive orders based on the simulated situation.

Mary made the destroyer the flagship, frigates and combat patrol ships around it, and there were reconnaissance ships, landing craft and fighter formations on the outermost periphery, forming a standard combat shape.

At the beginning of the battle, Mary organized a fleet to approach quickly. Her forces are absolutely superior, as long as she is crushed like this, Li De's side will be crushed like an elephant stepping on ants. However, what she saw was that Li De's fleet was all scattered, and all the hundred D-class warships fled in different directions at high speed.

Such a tactic made Mary completely confused. His battle formation couldn't judge the position of Li De's flagship, and in order to maintain the battle formation, the speed of her pursuit was definitely not comparable to that of a D-class battleship fleeing with all its might. Although the D-class ships have weak firepower and weak shields, they are faster and more maneuverable than large destroyers.

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 a hundred identical warships fleeing like dandelions blown by the wind, she felt that she had nowhere to start.

The crowd watching the battle also opened their mouths wide, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
