In the machine combat simulation cabin, Fang Shi communicated with Nana for a while, and then began to compete in the 4A rank, which is also the main purpose of entering the simulation cabin, to continuously improve his machine control level while being entertained.

Nana did not disturb Fang Shi during the rank challenge, but waited until his challenge was over, and only began to speak, according to Fang Shi's operation just now, he established a specific three-dimensional data analysis model and presented it on the light screen, pointing out the mistakes or deficiencies in the operation, and at the same time giving a lot of suggestions for specific control.

Fang Shi listened carefully and carefully, to be honest, Nana's powerful data analysis ability has helped him tremendously, for nearly three years, he has basically only used his free time to devote himself to simulation machine control training, and he is currently close to the level of a four-star pilot, although this speed cannot be compared with those super geniuses, it can be regarded as very fast. Sometimes, he thought that if he had devoted a lot of time to machine control training, he might be a high-level pilot now.

After the fifth challenge, Fang Shi did not continue after listening to Nana's narration, because it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and tomorrow there would be a space test of the Phantom. As a member of the working group, he still needs to rest well and stay in good shape, but he can't hold everyone in the group back for personal reasons, so he has set a strict schedule as he did in the No. 6 experimental test base before. You must go to bed before 12 o'clock every night to ensure sufficient sleep time, get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, exercise in the morning, have breakfast, and welcome the work of the Phantom Working Group in a good state.

"Nana, I'm going back to sleep."

Look at the cute Nana in the light screen. Fang Shi was a little reluctant in his heart, and the communication with Nana could definitely be regarded as a relaxed and pleasant thing.

Nana pouted, her expression was slightly lost, but she was still quite well-behaved, and said, "Brother, good night." ”

Fang Shi smiled and nodded, retrieved the silver card in the card slot, and left the machine battle simulation room.

The battleships at night were slightly deserted, and there were very few soldiers coming and going in the corridors, in fact, there was no difference between day and night in this space area. If it were seen with the naked eye. The space outside the battleship was just black all the time, and nothing could be seen at all, as if you had fallen into endless darkness. However, the light screen of the battleship reflected that the space scene outside was as bright as day, and it was extremely clear. It was an empty and barren void with no end. This special visual technique is actually a rather simple and conventional technique. And human beings only need to wear a pair of special space glasses to see space in the dark.

It took Fang Shi nearly ten minutes to get back to the room from the combat simulation room, as the two were on different levels. In addition, there is a corridor from the elevation staircase to the accommodation for almost five minutes.

Back in the room, Fang Shi washed up and went to sleep.

At six o'clock the next morning, Fang Shi got up, went to the activity area similar to a small playground for morning exercises, and after breakfast, rushed to the test command cabin.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the test of the Phantom mecha began again, and the content of the test was still the flight performance of the mecha, but the content of today's test was slightly changed, on the one hand, the test flight time was slightly longer, becoming forty-five minutes, and on the other hand, the difficulty of the flight had increased, and many flight orders of medium difficulty needed to be completed.

Flight testing is probably quite a painful thing for ordinary people, because testing is almost a repetitive task, but for the Phantom team members, it has long become a habit.

In the morning, a total of three flight tests were carried out, and the piloting mecha was carried out by Bai Wei and Yu Le in turn, and the three tests were all good, and the effect points were about 96 percent, although it was not as good as yesterday, but it was also an ideal state.

At noon, the Phantom team members have a two-hour break, and in addition to lunch, they basically choose to take a lunch break to ensure that they are in good working condition during the afternoon test.

Fang Shi was no exception, after lunch, he went back to his room for an hour's lunch break, and then brought up the test command module more than ten minutes early.

In the afternoon, it was still a flight test, but some more difficult flight commands were added to the difficulty of the flight.

The flight test lasts a total of ten days before it is over, and the flight performance is the basic performance of the mecha, and it is also an important foundation, and often a little flight advantage may play an unexpected role on the battlefield.

At the beginning, when the old man Huang Shujian designed the Phantom Mecha, he focused on the flight ability of the mecha, and made many improvements, and the ideal result of the design was that the flight speed of the Phantom Mecha was ten percent or more faster than the Flying Eagle MAX mecha, which was currently the fastest flying speed in the Empire, of course, both were based on ordinary flight conditions under the same conditions.

Flying speed surpassing is only one aspect of the Phantom Mecha's flight ability, and its most important design is its variable speed flight ability, which, combined with its ideal stealth ability, is likely to become a powerful killer on the space battlefield. In addition, there are many other improvements in the flight ability, such as the speed flight mode of the mecha, the current speed flight mode of the Empire's conventional mecha can only last for three seconds, and some special mecha may be able to reach five seconds, while the reservation target of the Phantom mecha is six seconds, which is twice as much as that of the conventional mecha, for the mecha, the speed mode is often the flight mode that will be enabled at a critical moment, and in just a few seconds, I am afraid that it is a matter of life and death, so even a second of improvement is definitely a huge progress.

During the ten days of flight testing, the working group tested the flight capabilities of the Phantom Mecha, but not all the tests reached the booked goals, and there were three small test effects that were different from the booked effect points, such as the speed mode flight, after many consecutive tests, its speed flight time has always been maintained at 5.5~5.9 seconds, and the scheduled six seconds time is still a small gap. Of course, a small number of tests did not meet the scheduled target, and the fact that many other important flight capability tests still met the scheduled target, or even exceeded the target by a lot. For example, the variable speed flight ability, the effect points reached 95%, which is five percentage points higher than the predetermined 90% effect value, which means that the speed change design of the Phantom Mecha is completely successful; Another example is the flight ability of the ordinary state, the flight speed of the Phantom mecha is twelve percent higher than the Flying Eagle MAX model mecha, which is currently the fastest flying speed in the empire, and two percent higher than the predetermined target, but don't underestimate the speed of two percent, on the battlefield, a little bit of advantage accumulation can become the key to determining the outcome of life and death.

After ten days of flight tests, everyone in the Phantom Working Group was slightly relieved. At least judging by the space test data obtained. The Phantom Mech still achieved what they expected, which means that the Phantom Mech has been successful so far.

After the continuous flight test, Ye Zhiqiu gave everyone in the Phantom Working Group a day to rest, after all, everyone worked continuously for many days. A small adjustment can make everyone better prepared for the various space tests that follow.

The rest of the day did make Fang Shi a lot easier. However, his schedule has not changed in the slightest. The morning is still the same morning exercise, but this rest time has become a relaxing and leisure activity. He watched a rather touching love movie, but unfortunately it was Yule with him. If Su Shi'er is together, it can definitely be called perfect, but unfortunately lewdness is lewdness after all, it's not that the two don't know how to choose a movie, because there is no choice for a movie theater on the battleship. In addition, he also enjoyed a simulated beach sunbathing, which was very realistic, but still felt like something was missing. At night, Fang Shi did not change much, and chose the machine combat simulation room, these days, he will go to the machine combat simulation room for training almost every day, but the length of time is slightly different.

Soon, the rest of the day drifted away, and the Phantom working group re-entered the space test again, at the beginning of a few slightly simpler project tests, one test that took time to test only took three days, and the rest were basically successfully completed in one or two days, and several tests were also smooth, and basically reached the scheduled test standards.

After a few simple tests, the space test moved on to a key test similar to a flight test – a combat test. The so-called combat test can also become a pseudo combat test, the reason why it is called a pseudo combat test is because it is not a real combat test, but a simulation of some combat scenarios to test the actual combat ability of the phantom mecha.

Combat testing is one of the most difficult and expensive tests in space, and it requires the full coordination of all forces. Among them, the simulation of the most combat scene, it is not a fictional simulation of the Internet, but a real physical simulation, which is obviously difficult to do with a dozen or so members of the phantom working group, and this combat scene is completely responsible for the military, before Ye Zhiqiu and Gao Zixuan have reached relevant agreements at the No. 32 military base. The Phantom Working Group only needs to provide specific test plans and requirements, and then the military arranges specific combat scenarios according to the plans and requirements, which requires close coordination and cooperation between the two sides.

The actual combat test is mainly divided into two aspects, namely the attack test and the defense test, the two are very easy to understand in the literal sense, that is, to test the attack and defense capabilities of the mecha, but it is quite difficult in actual operation, and the probability of accidents or emergencies in the test is relatively high.

Since the battleship formation arrived at the predetermined space test area, Gao Zixuan and the senior officers of the fleet began to actively prepare for the actual combat test of the mecha.

Everything is ready to go.

The actual combat test of the Phantom mecha began non-stop.

The first part of the actual combat test is not very difficult, it is some simple tests, which are basic tests, such as fixed-point strikes, the military warship will place the target in a predetermined area, and then the phantom mecha will attack one by one, which is somewhat similar to a test gun target.

With the successful completion of one project after another, the actual combat test has become more and more in-depth, and its difficulty has become more and more difficult, from the initial simple attack or defense test to the corresponding test task in a complex environment with a mixture of attack and defense, the degree of difficulty can be described as all the way to the end.

As the combat tests continue. The tense heartstrings of the Phantom Working Group are getting tighter and tighter, and they know that the actual combat test of the Dao Mecha will become more and more difficult and important the further backwards it goes, but to everyone's relief, the actual combat tests that have been completed have passed the basic goal of the booking, which can be regarded as an invisible increase in confidence in the subsequent tests.

On the fifth day of the actual combat test, the Phantom mecha had an unexpected situation for the first time, accidentally touching a space mine during the test. The space mine exploded at a key part of the mecha, causing a certain degree of damage to the mecha, although the damage did not have much impact on the entire phantom mecha, Ye Zhiqiu still decisively stopped the test. A complete overhaul of the Phantom mech was carried out.

Overhaul is not a difficult task for the Phantom Working Group. They were prepared before preparing for the actual test, Ye Zhiqiu and Fang Shi can be regarded as the actual participants in the design of the phantom mecha, and their understanding of the phantom is naturally very clear, and as mecha designers. Naturally, they also have a certain amount of mechanical ability. What's more, there is also Xiao Lingyun, a special mechanic. Naturally, the maintenance work has become much easier.

Two days later, the Phantom was overhauled and put back into combat testing.

According to Ye Zhiqiu's estimate. If everything goes well in the actual combat test, it should take about fifteen days, it is full of many small project tests, which need to be completed one after another, and the two-day overhaul naturally lengthens the time of the experimental test.

Once again, the Phantom Working Group was engaged in a slightly intense battle test.

Time passed quickly in a hectic and somewhat tense atmosphere.

A few days later, the Phantom team concluded a series of routine combat tests and entered the actual combat tests of the Phantom mech's potential to become a new generation of mechs related to its own combat style characteristics.

The Phantom Mecha is similar to other mecha that are known for their speed, and while pursuing speed, the configuration of some conventional weapons has been reduced accordingly, but the old man Huang Shujian has given up some of the conventional weapon configurations, but he has tailored two slightly special weapons for the Phantom Mecha to make up for the corresponding lack of Phantom vitality. These two slightly special weapons are the Gauss gun and the ion cannon, of course, this weapon was not developed by the old man Huang Shujian, but he asked the weapons manufacturing experts of the Snow Flower Company to create it according to the characteristics of the phantom.

The Gauss gun is a weapon developed by the empire in recent years, which is a single weapon used in ground combat, and the Gauss gun for the phantom mecha is naturally not a small Gauss gun for individual soldiers, to some extent, it can be said to be an enlarged version of the Gauss gun, and it has been improved and designed by weapons experts, which is full of power and can have a great threat to machine warfare and fighters.

The ion cannon is a kind of main anti-ship weapon of the space submarine, and the power is huge, of course, the ion cannon mounted on the phantom mecha is not the kind of large ion cannon of the space submarine, but a reduced version of the ion cannon, and the power is naturally reduced, but the weapon that is relatively and configured on the mecha can definitely be regarded as powerful.

The second half of the combat test is to test the combat potential of the Phantom Mecha on the battlefield, which is also the most important part of the Phantom Mecha combat test.

In the flagship test control cabin, the Phantom working group carried out their work in a tense and orderly manner. Ye Zhiqiu's eyes were staring at the light screen in front of him, and he quickly gave command orders one after another, and the phantom mecha in the light screen flew rapidly, launching attacks from time to time, and was conducting the second half of the actual combat test.

While the Phantom Working Group was in full swing conducting space tests, in a remote space corridor somewhere in the Eastern Region of the Star Luo Empire, three gray-black warships were swimming quickly in a formation like ghosts.

The hull of the three gray-black warships was painted with the star symbol of the Star Luo Empire, but the strange inside of the warship was not wearing the military uniform of the Empire, and their military cap badge was a strange animal, like a snake but not like it, because the snake had no horns, no whiskers, and no claws.

In a conference room-like room on one of the battleships in the center, a middle-aged man with a mild face sat directly above, with a steaming cup of tea in front of him. The tea is very light and light, and at the bottom of the cup is a green tea leaf, as if it has just been plucked from the tea tree, lying quietly.

The middle-aged man gently picked up the teacup, first put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, then took a sip gently, put down the teacup, his eyes squinted slightly, as if he was savoring, and showed a look of enjoyment.

"Good tea!"

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth showed a faint smile, and he praised it quite satisfactorily, and then swept his gaze to the left and right.

There were several people sitting on the left and right below the man, both men and women, most of them young people in their twenties, their expressions solemn and serious.

"Adjutant Ling, let's give a general explanation of the current situation first." The middle-aged man still maintained a faint smile and said unhurriedly.

"Yes, sir." Behind the middle-aged man, a woman in a military uniform in a short skirt stood behind him, and immediately replied.

The woman in the short skirt and military uniform was the Adjutant Ling in the mouth of the middle-aged man, and I saw her gently press the button in her hand, and immediately a wide light screen appeared in the center of the audience. In the light screen is a huge star field map, with various star field markers, and a red slightly curved shoulder.

Adjutant Ling glanced at the light screen in the center, took a step forward slightly, took a light breath, and then said in a rather steady voice: "We are now located in the Eastern Region of the Star Luo Empire, and we have successfully bypassed their frontline area of the Eastern Region, and the red arrow in the map is where we are now......"

The female lieutenant spoke for five minutes before she stopped and retreated back to where she had been standing.

The male and female officers sitting on the left and right below were shocked and puzzled at first when they heard Adjutant Ling's words, but when Adjutant Ling finished speaking, the surprise on their faces had subsided a lot, but their faces were still full of doubt.

One of the young men with a thin face looked at the middle-aged man in the upper seat and hesitated for a few seconds before asking tentatively, "Sir, what is our specific mission this time?" It actually went directly to the rear of the Star Luo Empire, once it is discovered, we are afraid that we will ......"

The last words, the young man did not speak, because everyone understood the result - there is no place to die, from the beginning of this operation, he didn't know what the mission of the Dao was from the beginning, only knew that the Dao was a secret operation, so he didn't inquire about anything from the moment he set off, until this time he knew that the Dao ship had infiltrated the Star Luo Empire and bypassed the front line defense area of the Eastern Region of the Empire, which was considered to be deep into the Star Luo Empire, in this case, if they were discovered by the Star Luo Empire, I was afraid that they would be caught in the urn, and there was no way out.

The rest of the people sitting below were more or less dignified, and their eyes were also focused on the middle-aged man above, and what the interrogator man was worried about was only what they were worried about, although they didn't know why the fleet of Lu Dao would successfully evade the surveillance of the Star Luo Empire and go deep into the interior of the Eastern Region, but they knew that when Lu Dao was in a critical situation now, once they found out, they might have no way to escape, and until now they didn't know what kind of mission this secret operation mission was, I'm afraid that only the person sitting above knows it, because he is their commander and the supreme commander of this operation, and I believe that no one knows better than him about this secret operation.

The middle-aged man's face was calm, he glanced at the young man who was asking, and said lightly: "Will you die, right?" Hehe, it seems that today's young people are really a little unreliable, as a soldier, you should not care about life and death, but whether you can complete the task with honor. ”

The young man who asked the question just now heard this, his face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time in his heart just now before asking, most of the people who were on the mission with him this time were people who had just come out of the non-commissioned officer academy for less than a year, and when he heard the words of the adjutant Ling, he already had a faint feeling of bad feelings in his heart, such a dangerous thing as going deep into the Star Luo Empire, I am afraid that he would treat them as outcasts from the beginning, at this time, listening to the words of the middle-aged man who was calm and calm, he was still slightly ashamed of himself.

"Yes, sir." The young man said.

The middle-aged man chuckled, raised his right hand and touched his chin, revealing some thoughts, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said slowly: "Presumably you all have the same worries, but now that we have entered the Star Luo Empire, it can be regarded as a ruin, some worries I think you had better let go first, we have no way out, we can only move forward, forward, and then forward." (To be continued......)
