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 device 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 spaceship.

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 the destroyed spaceships are not set to return to the battlefield with Chen Ming's spiritual power.

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

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 of consideration. 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.

And 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 powers."

"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 temporarily changed 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 method of blocking signals from the other side 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 blocking 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 guerrilla 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 rely on the involvement of multiple fleets to gradually encroach on him.

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 no different now than if he had 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 or escape, and they were instantly wiped out by Chen Ming's three hundred fleet's firepower output 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 see."

Cheng Xinghai put down the terminal, and his previous idea of ​​fighting Chen Ming, who had 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 scattered throughout the battlefield, relying on their keen sense of the battlefield to avoid Chen Ming's main fleet, and constantly killed the small spaceships that Chen Ming released to explore the way.

Then……

There's no after that.

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. He finally defeated the shield and penetrated 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 had 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 the opponent had maintained the stability of the entire front. Although he had been retreating, the front itself was very stable. 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, there was still no way to achieve sufficient shooting density.

The method that Chen Ming is best at cannot exert 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 played 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 the solution to them was instantly figured out.

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 spaceships are arranged on the flanks of the spacecraft that serve as breakthrough players. As long as they are focused on fire, they can find opportunities to directly counterattack and storm the front.

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 to fight on the front battlefield, Chen Ming himself entered the command mode of the front battlefield and gradually became familiar with the actual command method.

Chen Ming gradually was able to intentionally or unintentionally release several prominent baits at any place on the entire front line.

And her bait placement methods became more and more sophisticated. Many times Chen Ming did not think about placing baits subjectively.

He simply found that a certain place was suitable for doing so, and it was definitely beneficial to do so, and then he did it.

He could feel that he was getting better and better.

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

The opponent was thinking about whether these forward-protruding spacecraft were baits.

Cheng Xinghai did feel a little scalp tingling at this moment.

She could feel that Chen Ming's command skills were very rough at the beginning, and there was no difference from beginners in many places.

But in the battle with her, Chen Ming's skills were improving at a visible speed.

From the beginning, he could only make a fool of himself, or just wanted to make a fool of himself, to the end, he could pull back and forth with her in the overall situation.

Even in some details, she was forced to think, so that she could distinguish whether some arrangements were Chen Ming's mistakes or his special arrangements.

And after her mistake caused the instant loss of more than ten ships,

even if she really saw some opportunities that might not be bait, she could only give up.

But soon, she found another opportunity.

In Chen Ming's dispatch of the fleet, the ships around the fleet that he pressed in the center of the battle line as a follow-up reinforcement had all been pressed forward unconsciously.

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

This must be a bait, but it was also her chance to turn the tables.

Cheng Xinghai knew that her fleet had frequently begun to malfunction after a long period of high-intensity combat, and on Chen Ming's side, at least she had not seen any malfunctions yet.

If she continued, she would only be dragged to death by Chen Ming.

So after considering it, Cheng Xinghai made a decision.

Suddenly, the battle line formed by her fleet shrank sharply, and a large distance was left at one time.

Although this temporarily relieved her of the pressure on the front line, it also meant that her own front line could not be maintained again.

And Chen Ming's fleet also took advantage of the situation to press forward, and was about to end the battle completely.

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

Cheng Xinghai's fleet suddenly regrouped with an unpredictable efficiency, and took advantage of the situation to attack the left wing where Chen Ming's front line was the loosest.

Her fleet broke through by force and rushed towards Chen Ming's reinforcement fleet, which had no time to turn around.

As long as this batch of reinforcement fleets could be killed, the situation on the battlefield would be instantly equalized, and Cheng Xinghai would have more opportunities to win.

Chen Ming could notice all the spacecrafts on the entire battlefield, and the reinforcement fleet here was exposed as a trap.

So when Cheng Xinghai chose to break through here, he immediately asked the front charge fleet to turn around, so that he could counterattack Cheng Xinghai's fleet from the flank at any time.

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

The fleet had to fight against the damage caused by the reinforcement fleet and Chen Ming's other fleets from the flank attack, and also pulled out a new battle line from the side of the reinforcement fleet to the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.

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

He was in the flagship at the back of the entire fleet.

The opponent pretended to fall into a trap just to find this opportunity.

As long as the flagship was destroyed, Chen Ming would lose.

And Cheng Xinghai did accomplish her idea.

After losing one-third of the remaining fleet, the less than 100 remaining spacecraft went around the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.

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

On Chen Ming's side, most of the ships were in front, and at most they could only temporarily turn the bow, and there was no time to return to defense.

He only had ten frigates and two destroyers to escort him, but he had to face the output of nearly 100 frigates and destroyers in this short period of time.

When Cheng Xinghai issued the final firing order,

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

"You're done!"
