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 that was already under his control in a normal way.

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

However, his consciousness was still free and he could still control his body normally.

After simply adapting to this strange perspective, Chen Ming focused his attention on this simulation scene.

In this scene that should have been lively in the main control room of the spaceship, he was the only one at this time.

However, there were 300 spaceships neatly arranged outside that could be seen through the porthole.

This was a small-to-medium-scale simulation, 300 to 300, 50 destroyers and 250 escorts.

The environment was set to the most ordinary cosmic environment. Except for the light provided by a star, there was almost no physical interference.

And the settings that Chen Ming just mentioned were basically realized in this simulation.

It’s just that some settings are still not too excessive, so the destroyed spaceships cannot rely on Chen Ming’s psychic power to return to the battlefield.

However, Baiquan also set up three damaged spaceships with a damage degree of no more than 50% to be assembled into a complete spaceship, which can be regarded as not completely restricting Chen Ming's spiritual power.

Of course, Chen Ming cannot just rely on materials to build, and can only choose a sample from the spaceship that was originally used as material to reproduce.

Otherwise, Baiquan doesn't know how the opponent will win if Chen Ming's team starts to use heavy rain.

Moreover, this small-scale simulation is different from the large-scale long-term simulation that needs to consider all aspects. Generally speaking, it does not consider logistics issues, and purely tests a person's battlefield command ability.

So there is no fuel ship or cargo ship among these 300 spaceships.

With unlimited logistics, Chen Ming's strength can be exerted to a terrifying level.

Moreover, the possibility of accidents in small-scale operations is smaller.

If Chen Ming's outrageous ability is not restricted, Baiquan even thinks that Chen Ming can do a battle in which all the ships of the opponent are blown up, and his side ends the battle without losing a single ship.

Of course, after the restriction, Chen Ming can't be so excessive.

After he entered the simulation device and confirmed that the restrictions had been met, he dispatched thirty frigates normally.

Three ships were divided into ten groups, evenly spaced, and began to explore forward.

Although Chen Ming could not see the opponent's fleet from the sensor at the beginning of the simulated battlefield, the positions of both sides in this small-scale battle were fixed, just in front.

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

So at the beginning, Chen Ming must first test and understand the opponent's plans.

His biggest advantage is frontal combat, but the opponent may not do as he wishes.

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

So Chen Ming's own fleet stayed where it was and did not move, but just kept arranging new three-ship teams to go out and explore, looking for traces of the enemy fleet.

Although Chen Ming's search attempt was unsuccessful, he had not been able to find traces of the opponent's fleet.

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

Because Chen Ming suddenly discovered that one of the teams he sent out had suddenly blocked the communication signal.

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

Chen Ming was naturally affected because he did not set it up at the beginning.

However, the impact is an impact, and the scope of this impact is limited to the command conducted through the normal communication channel.

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 shielded.

And at the moment when the signal was shielded, the sensors of Chen Ming's three spacecraft immediately scanned that the enemy fleet was approaching.

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

Because the fleet cluster has a certain bonus to the sensor equipment of the spacecraft, they can scan a larger range, so they discovered the three escorts in advance and surrounded them.

And when the sensors of the three escorts detected the small fleet within a few seconds, they were attacked fiercely and were almost instantly destroyed by concentrated fire.

But from the moment the signal was shielded.

Chen Ming's flagship still received all normal signals returned from the spacecraft.

This means that the other side has cracked his command and communication code, pretending that everything is normal now, and preparing to make trouble.

But it's not a big problem. Chen Ming is too lazy to change the code.

Even this code may become his way to fight back in the future.

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

He said to Bai Quan: "Speaking of which, even if my psychic spaceship is destroyed, only one iron atom is left. I can still control this iron atom and do whatever I want."

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

"Just now I saw a little wreckage of the spaceship hit the opposite spaceship, leaving some fragments on it..."

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

"Just treat her spaceship as a permanent part of your field of vision. Don't do anything else. I'll give you permission..."

"That's fine."

Chen Ming agreed with Bai Quan.

And soon he completely locked the location of the thirty spaceships through Bai Quan's temporary changes.

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

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

And the nine small fleets he had sent out before that had not been found, except for two, continued to explore forward.

The other seven gradually circled in the direction of the enemy's small fleet.

Although the opponent's signal shielding method was used very smoothly, if Chen Ming used the communication equipment normally, he would indeed be fooled.

But having said that, the opponent certainly could not completely rely on the signal shielding method that could not be determined whether it was really effective.

The small fleet that suddenly appeared in this fleet was most likely a bait 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, Chen Ming's three-ship squadrons that went out to explore turned to the enemy's small fleet.

Another fleet of thirty ships killed Chen Ming's two fleets in the same way.

Chen Ming did not have the ability to reliably counterattack when the opponent did this.

But he also marked the opponent's spacecraft.

The positions of another sixty ships have appeared in his eyes.

Combined with the spacecraft sent by Chen Ming himself, one-third of the simulated battlefield range this time can no longer hide the traces of the opponent's main fleet.

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

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

A total of 120 of the 300 spacecrafts and a total of four fleets are wandering outside. It is obvious that the opponent wants to fight guerrilla warfare to the end.

However, the opponent is still unclear about his position. After all, who would have thought that Chen Ming's main fleet has not moved since the beginning of the game.

So the opponent's fleet has been running around. In addition to looking for Chen Ming's main fleet, it is obvious that they don't want to give Chen Ming any chance to drag this simulation into the front battlefield.

The opponent just wants to gradually erode him by involving multiple fleets.

Chen Ming observed for a moment and directly chose to mobilize the main fleet to surround one of the small fleets that was floating outside.

Although the opponent relied on the continuous appearance and attack of the small fleet to affect Chen Ming's search process, Chen Ming's several three-ship teams obtained various complex redundant information.

If he really wanted to integrate and organize this information, he would definitely be numbed, and he couldn't figure out where the opponent's fleet was at all, and he fell into a passive position completely.

But with the help of psychic power, Chen Ming is now no different from turning on perspective.

He has even roughly analyzed the trajectory of the enemy fleet.

And this fleet, which is his first target, will soon be isolated in order to interfere with the search fleet sent by Chen Ming.

This is the opportunity he needs to seize.

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

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

There was no time to react or escape, and they were instantly wiped out by the unlimited ammunition and no cooling time firepower output of Chen Ming's 300-ship fleet.

At the same time.

The headquarters of the 14th Corps.

Cheng Xinghai, who was lying in a special instrument using simulation equipment, looked at Chen Ming's fleet, which seemed to be pouring ammunition endlessly, and fell into a moment of confusion.

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

"Uncle Bai!"

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

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

"But..."

"No buts, he just has this ability."

"..."

"I understand."

Cheng Xinghai put down the terminal, and the idea of ​​fighting with Chen Ming, who defeated Cheng Xinghe, so that she could turn around and taunt Cheng Xinghe was thrown aside.

There was only a desire to win in her eyes, and she refocused her consciousness on the simulation device.

The decision she made at the beginning was correct. Guerrilla warfare must be fought to the end. Once she was really dragged into a frontal battle by Chen Ming, she would definitely lose miserably.

After Cheng Xinghai made the 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 killing the small spaceships that Chen Ming sent out to explore the way.

And then...

There was nothing else.

Every time Cheng Xinghai killed a three-ship team of Chen Ming, one of her own fleets would be completely exposed to Chen Ming's vision, and there was no way to hide.

This allowed Chen Ming to quickly gather forces and wipe out two small fleets wandering outside.

Cheng Xinghai also noticed something was wrong when he got here.

Chen Ming seemed to have the ability to accurately locate, and all interference was useless.

If they continued like this, they would only be divided and defeated by Chen Ming. The key was that this "division" was still "divided" by herself.

So Cheng Xinghai could only let the fleet regroup, and the remaining fleet of about 200 ships stayed in place and re-equipped.

She was now forced by Chen Ming to have only the choice of frontal combat, and she had to face it in the best condition.

This was the situation Chen Ming wanted to see most.

Moreover, his spacecraft did not need wartime maintenance and could be kept in the best condition at all times, but the opponent's spacecraft obviously needed time to rest after several battles.

So Chen Ming would not give the opponent a chance to breathe.

He gathered the remaining fleets on hand, opened the battle line, and ran head-on in the direction of the opponent's fleet assembly.

Then Cheng Xinghai experienced what Cheng Xinghe had felt before.

The bullets from the opposite side were endless, and the shields from the opposite side were like iron walls. It was not easy to defeat the shields and penetrate the armor by focusing fire.

If you don't pay attention, all the results of the battle just made will disappear, which is no different from attacking a new spaceship.

At this time, Cheng Xinghai has deeply understood why Bai Quan said before that if you are beaten and cry, don't look for him.

She is now looking at the fleet in front of her that is constantly recovering and is about to cry.

Of course, it is impossible to really cry, Cheng Xinghai still remains calm.

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

She even used the gaps pulled out by the details on the front line to attract Chen Ming's spaceships to press forward directly, and then focus fire.

In this way, she did kill several of Chen Ming's spaceships on the front battlefield.

And her own losses were smaller, at least for the time being.

Then Cheng Xinghai saw that the wreckage of the spaceships that had been destroyed by her suddenly merged together, forming new spaceships that appeared on the battlefield.

"You!"

This cheating-like scene made Cheng Xinghai completely unable to maintain her image.

But she was alone in the room using the simulation equipment now, so she didn't need to maintain it.

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

At this moment, Cheng Xinghai suddenly imagined the scene of her losing to Chen Ming and being ridiculed by Cheng Xinghe.

So she quickly calmed down in the face of this outrageous situation.

Her fleet had not disappeared completely, and she still had the possibility of finding a chance to turn the tables.

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

And at this moment, in Chen Ming's feelings, although he was suppressing the opponent, he inexplicably felt a pressure.

Because the opponent maintained the stability of the entire front line, although he was retreating, the front line itself was very stable, and Chen Ming could only choose to break through the surface with a point.

But all the opportunities that seemed to be able to break through on the front line were false, and they were all traps.

If he dared to command the fleet to rush forward rashly, then the situation just now would happen, and his spaceship would be concentrated and directly scrapped.

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

So he could not find any chance to break through the front line and end the battle.

And although his live ammunition and missile weapons were unlimited, and energy weapons had no cooling time.

But weapons with unlimited ammunition had to at least hit people.

As the enemy fleet kept pulling away, three hundred escort destroyers looked like a lot, but on a cosmic scale, there was still no way to achieve a sufficient shooting density.

Chen Ming's best method could not play its due effect at all in the enemy's continuous retreat and contraction.

It gave Chen Ming a feeling similar to when he had fought with Cheng Xinghe before.

It was also the same to quickly analyze the shortcomings of Chen Ming's psychic power, and then crack it in a targeted manner according to the shortcomings.

But compared to Cheng Xinghe's side, who relied on his military spaceship to fight Chen Ming head-on, the opponent he faced this time was more rational and more oppressive.

Yes, oppressive.

Chen Ming felt as if all his thoughts on the battlefield were seen through, and the way to crack them was instantly thought of.

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

No matter how strong the output is, it is useless if he can't hit anyone.

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

At the same time, he arranged reinforcement spaceships on the flanks of the spaceships that served as breakthroughs, so that as long as they were focused, they could find opportunities to directly counterattack and attack the battle line.

However, the opponent was not fooled.

The bait that Chen Ming actively arranged was not eaten at all.

Several times, he would rather have no results than preserve the manpower of his fleet, so he just dragged it hard.

The opponent could even pay close attention to the traps arranged by Chen Ming several times or even more than ten times in a row, without even looking at them, wasting the opportunity for Chen Ming's spaceship to output.

However, as Chen Ming's fleet began to engage in a frontal battle, Chen Ming himself entered the command mode of the frontal battlefield and gradually became familiar with the actual command method.

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

And her bait placement methods became more and more sophisticated. In many cases, 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 between him and a beginner in many places.

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

From being able to make a fool of himself at the beginning, or just wanting to make a fool of himself, to being able to pull back and forth with her in the overall situation later.

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!"
