Chapter 52 On the Fictional Battlefield

On the second day after the assembly, the entire reserve supplementary unit assembled in the specially assigned briefing room of the training center.

After the routine process was over, Diao Youming started: "I am not the chief military officer. In theory, I shouldn't be here to host this briefing. But the military chief cannot do without Ceres, so he can only entrust the task to me.

"In order to avoid disputes over my judgment, I will try my best to use the form of competition to decide who passes the assessment. All the links that need to be scored will be scored by computer.

"I'm not going to test your basic skills, saying that the basic skills are not accurate. In fact, I'm not going to test most of the practical subjects, and I don't even plan to take an intellectual written test."

Whispering voices finally sounded in the originally quiet briefing room.

"Quiet!" Diao Youming knocked on the blackboard in the briefing room with the pointer. The electronic blackboard was completely discolored, but it returned to normal immediately.

He continued: "Today is our first assessment. The main content is to drive a small combat boat in a variety of preset battlefields for simulated confrontation! It is mainly a single-machine confrontation, and two people in the same crew share points.

"Tomorrow we will conduct two-on-two, and the day after tomorrow will be a group battle. The day after tomorrow will be an in-ship battle under the condition of jumping gangs, the fifth day will be an attack on an asteroid base, and the sixth day will be a cruiser-level simulated confrontation.

"All the confrontations and drills are based on a point system, and the total score will be summed up at the end. Half of the people! Note that half of the people will be screened out.

"Wang Ping'an, do you like to raise your hand so much before the questioning session?"

Wang Pingan put down his hand: "Then I'll wait for the questioning session."

Diao Youming pursed his lips and held back for a few seconds before asking, "Is there any question?"

"What are you doing on the last day?" Wang Pingan asked.

"It's the last day of the holiday. You should go shopping, eat well, and record greeting videos for your home. When you arrive on Ceres, you can only eat in the hall every day, and the communication delay with the earth is also relatively slow. Mars is much higher here.

"And there are only a few locals on Ceres, and there is not as much fun on the Internet as on Mars. Online games are only updated when the cargo ship brings a new version. The only fun there is to fight wits and bravery with the pirates."

Wang Pingan said "Oh": "Understood."

"Any questions?" Diao Youming looked at the others.

No one raised their hands again.

Diao Youming: "Very good, Zhai Dengshan, lead the team to the simulated training center. I have obtained the right to use the training center for seven days."

**
The simulated training center is set on the central axis of the space station, so there is only a weak simulated gravity—this kind of gravity simulated by centrifugal force, the closer it is to the central axis of rotation, the smaller it is.

This kind of attention is actually not necessary, because the simulation system can hardly reproduce the G force when the battleship accelerates. After all, virtual things are virtual after all, and can never replace real machine training.

However, real-machine training is not only expensive, but also potentially dangerous, so it can only be the next best thing.It is said that the latest generation of human-computer interaction systems can simulate acceleration in virtual reality by interfering with the human brain.

However, that is just a legend, and it should be far from being practical.

The training center has one hundred Type 42 simulators, which can simulate all small space vehicles from maneuvering engineering modules to small combat boats.

After Zhai Dengshan led the team to the No. 42 training ground where the 1-type simulator was installed, he took out the tablet and started the battle group: "Today we mainly play 1V1. In theory, each group should fight 99 games today. Randomly extract seeds from the map seed library of the simulator to generate.

"In addition, the computer will automatically balance, and there will be no situation where a certain battlefield situation appears more."

When Zhai Dengshan was speaking, Diao Youming appeared in the main control room on the top of the No. [-] training ground, overlooking the entire training ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main control room.

Wang Pingan glanced at the main control room distractedly, but missed a few words.

Zhai Dengshan: "That's it. People without a partner can form a team by themselves, or they can seek advice from the computer. Those with a partner can use the simulator."

Angeli: "Let's go."

Wang Pingan: "Huh?"

"You're distracted again!"

"Sorry, the simulator is for us to choose by ourselves? Shouldn't we assign the location?"

An Geli was about to answer when someone beside her said, "Isn't this a famous scourge? You finally abandoned that noisy little one and changed to a partner with a protruding front and back?"

Wang Pingan looked at the speaker with hostile eyes, and then replied in a low voice: "Xiao Fang is dead."

The guy who came to provoke was embarrassed, and finally he could only scratch his head: "Okay, blame me. My condolences will change."

Wang Pingan: "You don't have to force yourself, haven't you kept shouting that people like us will definitely die a miserable death?"

Angeli probably saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, so she stepped in and asked, "Who is this?"

"Lin, we call him Wumu, he's an idiot who always looks down on me."

"You're right. There are too many people in the academy who don't like you. Don't say it like I'm the only one. With your personality, it's normal to hate you. You just always show an idealistic look. The way you look makes some people think that your nature is not bad. I understand that people like you are rotten from the inside out!
"What idealism, it's just a rotten person's disguise!"

Wang Pingan shrugged: "Yes, I know."

"Just wait and see, unlike you who wasted your time in the transport team, I have been guarding the army, and I have actually dealt with 21 emergencies!"

Wang Pingan: "How many of them were drunk driving construction machinery? Driving a combat boat to stop the single-person work cabin running around, and after docking, the person's helmet was removed, and people were blown on the alcohol tester, right?"

Forest: "Fuck you!"

Zhai Dengshan interjected: "Enough! Whoever is more powerful will go to the simulator. I will arrange for you to fight first."

Forest: "I wish for it! Watch me teach you a lesson!"

Wang Pingan: "Hmph, you never won a mock battle with me at school."

"That was seven years ago! Orin, let's go!"

Speaking of forest, he took his partner and walked to the nearest simulator.

Wang Ping'an turned to Angeli and said, "Let's go too. I think that simulator is pretty good."

"Okay, let's go."

**
Inside the Type 42 simulator, it looks like a standard space force cockpit.

All small aircraft of the Space Force have this internal configuration, and this design greatly reduces the cost for astronauts to adapt to new types of aircraft.

Wang Ping'an and Angli put on spacesuits and sat side by side in the simulator.

Angeli smiled and said, "I thought about the time I took the silver star again. To be honest, I often dream about the scene at that time, dreaming that you were driving the spaceship with your head bare and only an oxygen mask on."

Wang Pingan: "So you want to say, have I become your Anima?"

"The ideal man in a woman's heart is called Animus. Wang harms comrades, you are not good at learning."

"Hey, it's just a few words, you just need to know the meaning. So what you said just now, did you mean that you fell in love with me?"

"If you don't ask so bluntly, I might really be able to." Angeli sighed, "Now, it's probably difficult, let's be colleagues."

"What the hell, your version is wrong, you should hit a straight ball, and I'll pull it off..."

Just as he was talking, the training ground engineer who was in charge of assistance outside knocked on the window of the simulator: "Are you ready to start?"

Wang Pingan gave a thumbs up.

So the engineer closed the outer door of the simulator, the entire simulator was sealed, and then began to pump air to simulate the low-pressure state of the spacecraft in combat.

Immediately afterwards, the entire cockpit began to shake, which was testing the dynamic reproduction ability of the simulator.

Angeli asked, "You won't take off your helmet and gloves this time?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to play 99 games today. I'm going to take off my helmet and gloves. After the beating, my hands are probably dead. I'm going to amputate my limbs and grow a new transplant from a pig."

The next moment, the holographic projection outside the simulated cockpit began to operate, and a fake sky scene appeared.

"The environment of the ruins of the space station was drawn at the beginning." Wang Ping'an muttered.

"What's wrong with this environment?"

"There are a lot of variables." Wang Pingan shrugged, "If it is an environment like 'open orbit', it is basically a matter of who can find the enemy's radiation from the background radiation carefully. It's different."

Wang Pingan looked at the large amount of wreckage of the space station outside, and continued: "This terrain basically depends on the resilience. Turn off the radar."

Angelie: "Huh?"

Seeing her stunned, Wang Ping turned off the radar by himself—this should have been the responsibility of the extravehicular operator.

The simulator simulates the mechanical noise of a combat craft's external radar antenna being retracted.

Wang Pingan: "There are so many debris, and the radar clutter is too much. Let's keep silent and float with the debris group."

As he spoke, he operated the virtual battleship and pasted a piece of wreckage.

Angeli: "Is this useful?"

"It's useful. The infrared signal of the body's heat dissipation will be blocked by debris. Although it is the first match, everyone expects to see a passionate bayonet fight, but unfortunately, I have to choose a tactic with a high winning rate. Just wait, fortunately, this is A simulated battle where time will fast-forward before the two sides find each other."

Angeli: "If that's the case, can't you judge whether you have been discovered by the speed of time?"

"Of course, so this is a simulated battle. In actual combat, you win the moment you sneak attack." Wang Pingan said with a smile, "but don't worry, Wumu and I have not won a simulated battle until now. Even if the simulation The rules of the war helped him, but it couldn't change the result."

Angeli: "You don't hate him too, do you?"

"you are right."

As soon as Wang Ping'an finished speaking, the computer issued a beep, indicating that the aircraft had received radar waves.

The fast-forwarding time on the display suddenly stopped fast-forwarding and became normal.
