Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 202 Simulation Test

As Chen Ming took the initiative to connect his consciousness to the simulation equipment already under his control through normal methods.

He found that a scene gradually appeared in his mind, a scene in the main control room of a spacecraft.

However, his consciousness is still free and he can still control his body movements normally.

After briefly adapting to this strange perspective, Chen Ming devoted his attention to this simulated scene.

He was the only one in this bustling scene in the main control room of the spacecraft.

However, there are still 300 spaceships that can be seen through the portholes arranged neatly outside.

This is a small-to-medium-scale simulation, three hundred versus three hundred, fifty expulsions plus two hundred and fifty escorts.

The environment is set to the most ordinary cosmic environment, with almost no physical interference except for the light provided by a star.

The settings that Chen Ming just mentioned were basically implemented in this simulation.

It's just that some of the settings are not too extreme, so those destroyed spaceships are not set to return to the battlefield with Chen Ming's spiritual energy.

However, Baiquan also set up three damaged spaceships with no more than 50% damage, which can be combined into one intact spaceship, which does not completely limit Chen Ming's psychic abilities.

Of course, Chen Ming couldn't just rely on materials and could only choose a sample from the original spacecraft to reproduce.

Otherwise, Bai Quan doesn't know how Chen Ming's team can win when everyone on the other side starts to rain heavily.

Moreover, this kind of small-scale simulation is different from the large-scale long-term simulation that requires all aspects to be considered. Generally speaking, logistical issues are not considered and it is purely a test of one's battlefield command skills.

Therefore, among these three hundred spaceships, there is neither a fuel ship nor a cargo ship.

In the case of unlimited logistics, Chen Ming's strength can be displayed to terrifying levels.

What's more, the possibility of accidents in small-scale combat is even smaller.

If Chen Ming's outrageous ability was not restricted, Bai Quan even thought that Chen Ming could win a battle and blow up all the ships on the opposite side, and end the battle without losing any of his own ships.

Of course, after the restrictions, Chen Ming couldn't go so far.

After he entered the simulation equipment and confirmed that the restrictions were met, he dispatched thirty frigates normally.

The three ships were divided into ten groups, evenly opened the angle, and began to explore forward.

When the simulated battlefield just started, although Chen Ming could not see the opponent's fleet from the sensor, the positions of both parties in this small-scale battle were fixed, right in front.

The distance at the beginning also gives the warring parties an opportunity to deploy different tactics.

Therefore, Chen Ming must test it out at the beginning to understand the other party's plans.

His biggest advantage is fighting head-on, but the opponent may not always do what he wants.

Understand the opponent's information and find a way to drag the battlefield into the situation he wants to see most. This is what he will do next.

Therefore, Chen Ming's own fleet stayed where it was, and was just constantly arranging new three-ship teams to go out to explore and look for traces of the enemy fleet.

Although Chen Ming's search attempts were unsuccessful, he was unable to find any trace of the opponent's fleet.

However, the other side seemed to have found a three-ship team that he sent out.

Because Chen Ming suddenly discovered that one of the teams he sent out was suddenly blocked from communication signals.

Although signal shielding is a type of electronic warfare, electronic warfare is more than signal shielding.

Chen Ming had no settings at the beginning and was naturally affected.

However, influence is influence, and the scope of this influence is limited to command through normal communication channels.

Chen Ming does not rely on communication signals at all. He can directly and intuitively grasp the situation of each spacecraft, even if the signal is blocked.

At the moment when the signal was blocked, the sensors of Chen Ming's three spacecraft immediately scanned the enemy fleet approaching.

A small fleet consisting of five destroyers and twenty-five frigates appeared near Chen Ming's three-ship squadron.

Since the fleet cluster has a certain bonus to the spacecraft's sensing equipment, they can scan a larger area, so they discovered the three escorts in advance and surrounded them.

Within a few seconds when the sensors of the three escort ships detected the small fleet, they were violently attacked and wiped out almost instantly.

But from the moment the signal is blocked.

Chen Ming's flagship was still receiving normal signals from the spacecraft returning.

This means that the other party has deciphered the communication code of his command contact, pretending that everything is normal now, and is preparing to cause trouble.

But it wasn't a big problem, Chen Ming didn't even bother to change his password.

This password may even become a way for him to fight back later.

But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly thought of something.

He said to Bai Quan: "Even if my psychic spacecraft is destroyed and only one iron atom is left, I can still control this iron atom and perform any operation I want."

Bai Quan already knew what Chen Ming was going to do the moment he heard this outrageous description, and Chen Ming's next words did not surprise him.

"I just saw some debris from the spacecraft hit the spacecraft opposite, leaving some debris on it..."

Bai Quan pinched his eyebrows and said with a headache: "This simulation is mainly to test your command ability. Use less psychic power."

"Just think that her spaceship will remain in your field of vision forever. Don't do anything else. I will give you permission..."

"also."

Chen Ming agreed with Bai Quan's statement.

And soon the positions of these thirty spacecraft were completely locked through Baiquan's temporary change of settings.

After the small fleet left, Chen Ming's three originally destroyed spaceships immediately gathered together and flew directly along the path of the local fleet, trying to investigate.

Then Chen Ming calculated the fleet's sailing speed, and then sent fifteen spaceships to each side of his fleet to continue searching for traces of the enemy fleet.

Except for two of the nine small fleets he had sent out before that had not yet been found, they continued to explore.

The other seven gradually moved towards the direction of the enemy's small fleet.

Although the signal shielding method used was very smooth, if Chen Ming had used communication equipment normally, he would and indeed might have been fooled.

But having said that, it is certainly impossible for the other party to completely rely on signal shielding methods that cannot be sure whether they will actually work.

The sudden appearance of this small fleet is most likely a bait actively released by the opponent.

So after thinking about it, Chen Ming chose to step in directly.

This should be the most effective way to contact the local fleet.

Just as he thought, several of Chen Ming's three-ship squadron that went out to explore turned towards the enemy's small fleet.

Another fleet of thirty ships killed Chen Ming's two fleets using the same method.

Chen Ming really didn't have the ability to reliably counterattack when the opponent did this.

But he also marked the spaceship on the opposite side.

The positions of another sixty ships appeared in his eyes.

Coupled with the spacecraft sent by Chen Ming himself, one-third of the simulated battlefield range was completely unable to hide the traces of the main fleet on the opposite side.

It won't take long for Chen Ming to completely discover the opponent's position and force the situation into the situation he wants to see.

Soon another fleet of thirty ships was discovered by Chen Ming.

There are a total of 300 spaceships, 120 in total, and a total of four fleets are wandering outside. It is obvious that the other side wants to fight guerrillas to the end.

However, the opponent still doesn't know his position. After all, who would have thought that Chen Ming's main fleet has not moved since the beginning.

Therefore, the fleet on the opposite side has been running around. In addition to looking for Chen Ming's main fleet, it is obvious that they do not want to give Chen Ming any chance to drag this simulation into a frontal battlefield.

The opponent just wants to gradually encroach on him by relying on the involvement of multiple fleets.

Chen Ming observed for a moment, then directly chose to mobilize the main fleet and surrounded one of the small fleets that was wandering outside.

Although the opponent's constant appearance and attacks by small-scale fleets affected Chen Ming's search process, Chen Ming's several three-ship squadrons obtained various complex and redundant information.

If he really wanted to integrate and sort out this information, he would definitely get numb, unable to figure out where the opposing fleet was, and would be completely passive.

But with the help of psychic powers, Chen Ming is now no different from having clairvoyance.

He has even roughly analyzed the enemy fleet's movement trajectory.

And the fleet that was his first target would soon be isolated in order to interfere with the search fleet sent by Chen Ming.

This was the opportunity he needed to take.

Less than five minutes had passed, and before anyone knew it, the enemy fleet had been surrounded by Chen Ming's main fleet.

And when the other side scanned Chen Ming's fleet, it was just like Chen Ming's three-ship squadron scanned them.

There was no time to react and escape, and they were instantly wiped out by the firepower output of Chen Ming's fleet of three hundred ships with unlimited ammunition and no cooling time, with lightning speed.

And at the same time.

The headquarters of the Fourteenth Army Corps.

Cheng Xinghai, who was lying in a specialized instrument using analog equipment, stared blankly at Chen Ming's fleet, which seemed to be pouring ammunition endlessly, and fell into confusion for a moment.

But she reacted immediately, reached out and touched the terminal next to her, and dialed Bai Quan's number.

"Uncle Bai!"

Bai Quan was also observing the situation on the battlefield through the external interface of the simulation equipment at this time. Of course, he knew why Cheng Xinghai called at this time.

But he could only say: "I warned you."

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about, he just has such ability."

"..."

"I understand."

Cheng Xinghai put down the terminal, and his previous idea of ​​fighting Chen Ming, who defeated Cheng Xinghe, so that he could turn around and mock Cheng Xinghe was thrown aside.

There was only competition in her eyes, and she refocused her consciousness on the simulation device.

The decision she made at the beginning was correct. The guerrillas must fight to the end. Once Chen Ming really dragged her into a frontal battle, she would definitely lose miserably.

After Cheng Xinghai made her decision, she completely divided the main fleet that had been quietly lurking behind Chen Ming's fleet into several small fleets.

They were completely dispersed throughout the battlefield, relying on their keen sense of the battlefield to avoid Chen Ming's main fleet, and continuously killed the small spaceships that Chen Ming released to explore the way.

And then... there was no more.

Every time Cheng Xinghai kills one of Chen Ming's three-ship squadrons, one of her own fleets will be completely exposed to Chen Ming's sight, making it impossible to hide.

This allowed Chen Ming to quickly gather his forces and destroy two more small-scale fleets wandering outside.

When Cheng Xinghai arrived here, he also noticed something was wrong.

Chen Ming seems to have the ability to accurately locate, and all interference is in vain.

If she continues like this, she will only be divided and broken by Chen Ming. The key is that this "division" was "divided" by herself.

So Cheng Xinghai could only let the fleet regroup, and the remaining fleet of about two hundred spaceships stayed in place and reorganized.

She was now forced by Chen Ming to have the only option of fighting head-on, and she had to face it in the best possible condition.

This is what Chen Ming wants to see most.

Moreover, his spaceship does not require wartime maintenance and can maintain the best condition at all times, but the opponent's spacecraft obviously needs time to rest after experiencing several battles.

Therefore, Chen Ming will not give his opponent a chance to breathe.

The remaining fleets he had on hand gathered together, the battle line opened, and they ran over towards the direction where the opponent's fleet was gathering.

Then Cheng Xinghai felt what Cheng Xinghe had felt.

The bullets on the opposite side were endless, and the shield on the opposite side was like an iron wall. It was difficult to defeat the shield and penetrate the armor by focusing the fire.

If you don't pay attention, all the results you just created will disappear, and it is no different from fighting a new spaceship.

At this time, Cheng Xinghai had a deep understanding of why Bai Quan said before that he should not come to him if he was beaten to tears.

She was almost crying now as she looked at the recovering fleet in front of her.

Of course, it was impossible to shed tears. Cheng Xinghai still remained calm.

The defense line was deployed as soon as Chen Ming's fleet approached, and at the same time, it was able to decisively maintain a stable formation and retreat under the unreasonable pressure of Chen Ming's fleet.

She even used the gaps created by the details on the battle line to attract Chen Ming's spaceship to press forward directly, and then focused its fire.

In this way, several Chen Ming's spaceships were indeed killed on the frontal battlefield.

And her own losses will be even smaller, at least for the time being.

Then Cheng Xinghai saw the wreckage of the spaceships that she had clearly destroyed suddenly merged together to form new spaceships appearing on the battlefield.

"you!"

This scene, which was like cheating, made Cheng Xinghai completely unable to maintain his image.

But now that she is alone in a room using analog equipment, she doesn't need to maintain it.

Bai Quan, who was watching the battle, did not stop this scene from happening. Obviously this was a normal situation.

At this moment, Cheng Xinghai also suddenly imagined the scene where she turned around and was ridiculed by Cheng Xinghe after losing to Chen Ming.

So she quickly calmed down when faced with this outrageous situation.

Her fleet has not disappeared yet, and she still has the possibility of finding a chance to make a comeback.

Since Chen Ming chose to take the initiative to attack, there will always be flaws.

In Chen Ming's feelings at this moment, although he was pressing down on the opponent, he felt a pressure inexplicably.

Because his opponent had maintained the stability of the entire front, even though he had been retreating, the front itself was very stable, so Chen Ming could only choose to break the surface.

However, all the seemingly breakthrough opportunities on all fronts are false and traps.

If he dared to command the fleet to rush forward rashly, what happened just now would happen. His spaceship would be set on fire and directly scrapped.

If even half of the wreckage was destroyed, Chen Ming would not be able to build a new spaceship based on the settings of this simulation.

So much so that he couldn't find any chance to directly break through the battle line and end the battle.

And although his live ammunition weapons and missile weapons have unlimited use, energy weapons also have no cooldown time.

But weapons with unlimited ammunition must at least be able to hit people.

As the enemy fleet continued to distance itself, the three hundred escort ships seemed to be driving away a lot, but on a cosmic scale, it was still impossible to achieve sufficient shooting density.

The method that Chen Ming is best at cannot produce its due effect at all when the opponent keeps retreating and shrinking.

The feeling given to Chen Ming was a bit similar to when he fought against Cheng Xinghe.

In the same way, he quickly analyzed the shortcomings of Chen Ming's psychic abilities, and then cracked them in a targeted manner based on the shortcomings.

But compared to Cheng Xinghe's confrontation with Chen Ming in a military spaceship, the opponent he faced this time was more rational and oppressive.

Yes, it is oppressive.

Chen Ming felt as if all his thoughts on the battlefield had been seen through, and he had instantly figured out how to solve them.

All the commanding techniques he learned would be meaningless if he were to use them directly. He had to think of more flexible ways to use them.

No matter how strong the output is, if you can't touch anyone, it's all in vain.

So Chen Ming directly took advantage of the situation and focused his attention on the spaceships in the front row of the battle line. While trying to break through the battle line, Chen Ming actively created some opportunities for his spaceship to be easily focused on fire.

At the same time, reinforcement spacecraft were arranged on the flanks of the spacecraft that acted as the breakthrough point. As long as they were focused on fire, they would find opportunities to directly counterattack and storm the front line.

However, the opponent just wasn't fooled.

Chen Ming simply refused to eat the bait he arranged on his own initiative.

Several times, he would rather have no results in order to preserve the effectiveness of his fleet, so he forced himself to delay.

The opponent could even pay keen attention to the traps set by Chen Ming several times or even a dozen times in a row without even looking at it, wasting the opportunity for Chen Ming's spaceship to output.

However, as Chen Ming's fleet began a frontal battlefield confrontation, Chen Ming himself entered the frontal battlefield command mode and gradually became familiar with the actual command methods.

Chen Ming was gradually able to release several prominent baits anywhere along the entire front, intentionally or unintentionally.

And her methods of placing baits have become more and more proficient. Many times, Chen Ming does not think about placing baits subjectively.

I simply found a place where it was appropriate to do it, and it was definitely beneficial, and then I did it.

He could feel himself getting better.

And he also noticed that his opponent's command gradually began to hesitate.

The opponent is wondering whether these protruding spacecraft are decoys.

Assassin Cheng Xinghai did feel some numbness in his scalp.

She could feel that Chen Ming's commanding skills were very rough at the beginning, and in many ways they were no different from those of a beginner.

But during the battle with her, Chen Ming's skills were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From the beginning, I only knew how to do things, or in other words, I only wanted to do things. Later, I was able to compete with her in the overall situation.

It can even force her to think about some details, so that she can tell whether certain arrangements are Chen Ming's mistakes or his special arrangements.

And after one of her mistakes resulted in the loss of more than ten spaceships in an instant,

Even if many times she does see some opportunities that may not be bait, she can only give up.

But soon, she found another opportunity.

In Chen Ming's dispatch of the fleet, the spacecraft around the fleet that he placed in the center of the battle line as follow-up reinforcements had all moved forward unknowingly.

This has caused the augmented fleet to gradually move away from the core position, and some are exposed within the attack range of her fleet.

This must be bait, but it's also her chance to make a comeback.

Cheng Xinghai knew that her fleet had frequently begun to malfunction after a long period of high-intensity battles. As for Chen Ming, at least she had not seen any malfunctions yet.

If she continues, she will only be dragged to death by Chen Ming.

So after thinking about it, Cheng Xinghai made a decision.

Suddenly, the battle line formed by her fleet shrank sharply, giving way to a large distance at once.

Although this allowed her to temporarily relieve the pressure on the front, it also meant that her own front could no longer be maintained.

And Chen Ming's fleet also pressed forward to completely end this battle.

And just as Chen Ming's fleet pressed forward, his own battle line also became loose to a certain extent.

Cheng Xinghai's fleet suddenly regrouped with an unpredictable efficiency and attacked the loosest left wing of Chen Ming's front.

Her fleet forced a breakthrough and rushed towards Chen Ming's reinforcement fleet, which had no time to change direction.

As long as these additional fleets can be taken advantage of, the situation on the battlefield will be instantly leveled, and Cheng Xinghai will have more opportunities to win.

Chen Ming was able to notice all the spaceships on the entire battlefield. The reinforcement fleet here was of course a trap when exposed.

So when Cheng Xinghai chose to break through here, he immediately changed the direction of the charging fleet in front, so that he could counterattack Cheng Xinghai's fleet from the flank at any time.

But what he didn't expect was that the moment Cheng Xinghai was about to attack the augmented fleet, the direction of her entire fleet suddenly changed.

The fleet fought against the battle damage caused by the flank attack by the reinforcement fleet and Chen Ming's remaining fleet, and a new front was drawn from the side of the reinforcement fleet to the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.

Chen Ming instantly understood that his opponent's target was him.

He is the rearmost flagship of the entire fleet.

The opponent pretends to be in a trap just to look for this opportunity.

As long as the flagship is destroyed, Chen Ming loses.

And Cheng Xinghai did complete her idea.

After losing one-third of the remaining fleet, the remaining spaceships, less than a hundred, circled to the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.

Successfully found the opportunity to focus on Chen Ming's flagship.

On Chen Ming's side, most of the ships were ahead. At most, they could only temporarily turn their bows around, and there was no time to return to defense.

He only had ten frigates and two destroyers left to escort him, but he had to face the output of nearly a hundred escort and destroyer mixed fleets in this short period of time.

The moment Cheng Xinghai gave the final firing order.

She finally couldn't hold back her anger when she saw all kinds of operations that were almost the same as cheating, and shouted in the room what she had always wanted to say to Chen Ming.

"You're finished!"
