mandatory military uniform

the next day.

"Students No. 21 to No. 41, please get ready. In 10 minutes, there will be a fighter operation competition."

Today is the first round of the fighter aircraft operation competition. Early in the morning, after breakfast, the trainees took a suspended military vehicle to the competition location—a temporary silver-gray building.

Ding dong.

Following the beep, the closed glass door of the hall opened, and the students who were waiting at the corresponding positions stood up one after another after hearing the beep. Most of them had eager expressions on their faces.

"Finally it's our turn."

"Yes."

at the same time.

Ding--

【Your schedule has been completed. Please refer to the lobby screen for specific results. The complete ranking will be announced after the competition for all participants. Thank you. 】

The glass door on the other side of the hall opened, and the former No. 20 students who had already participated in the competition came out of the glass door one after another.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the seniors he knew had finished competing, a certain student who was waiting in the hall stood up quickly and walked up to inquire about the status of the competition.

"Oh, forget it."

Seeing the confident junior coming up, the boy who was called the senior by that student smiled wryly.

"What's the matter, senior, isn't it...not ideal?"

Although it was very rude to ask, he still had to take offense for the sake of his own participation.

"...Well, what is the specific situation, you will find out after a while, junior, this year's mech competition, I think you should ask for more blessings!"

Shaking his head, the student left unwilling to say more.

what?

How lucky are you? !

Standing blankly in the hall, the student pricked up his ears and looked at the students behind him who were about to listen to what [the person who came here] had to say.

They are all the elites of each school, and whoever can stand here has been selected through layers of selection, which can be said to represent the strongest strength of their own school.And looking at the boy's uniform, it can be seen that his school is not bad. How can this kind of person say "seeking good fortune"?

[Students from No. 21 to No. 41 are asked to get ready, enter window No. 1, and prepare for the competition. 】

At this time, the instructor's voice sounded from the loudspeaker again.

"..."

At this moment, all the initial excitement was swept away, and the second batch of students who were taking the assessment couldn't help but walked into the examination window with doubts.

***

With the end of the morning competition, the top 800 students in the competition number have almost all finished the first round of the competition, and their results were subsequently announced on the Fengji panel.

[No.1, Ling Weilan, from Hollatz Military Academy, first round score, 89.2]

[No.2, Will Hollen, from Holletts Military Academy, first round score, 88.3]

[No.3, Luo Jinting, from Hollatz Military Academy, first round score, 84.5]

Under the premise of the 1-point system, Ling Weilan, No.89.2, only scored [-] points. It is conceivable how miserable the results of the others are.

"I really can't imagine that this year's fighter operation competition is so abnormal!"

"Yeah, this is only the first round, and it's the easiest combat aircraft operation competition in the single competition. Anyway, I don't have much expectations for the subsequent team competitions."

I couldn't help whispering after each round of the competition. These students, whose first round of competition would be easier anyway, couldn't help being surprised after participating in the first round of competition.

Originally, according to the usual practice, although the annual mech competition is not easy, it is not so difficult that it will be "killed by thousands of people" in the first round. Seeing the scores lower than the previous ones, the students couldn't help but sigh. It's with the mood of watching a good show, and half of self-comforting complaints are not that they are not good at learning, but that the title this time is too abnormal.

"Luze, how are your grades?"

Just when it was Luze's turn and the group had just finished the game, a cadet from the Hangling Military Academy who was waiting aside couldn't help asking.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Ze said with difficulty, "I only scored 70 points in the first round."

"70 points, it's not bad."

The strength of Hang Ling is not bad, but almost all the troops were wiped out in the first round. "This year's fighter plane problem is really too difficult. Compared with previous years' problems, it is not at the same level at all."

"Yes."

Nodding, Lu Ze said, "I heard that this year's fighter plane test questions were personally posed by the new commander of the Federation, Raymond Cowell. Every question comes from actual war cases, especially the final comprehensive test. The blockade is based on a famous battle in which both sides suffered, so no matter how you manipulate the fighter plane, you can't escape the final blast, it's really..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Luze sighed enviously when he saw the top three places being taken by Holletts.

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, we still have Guan Wei on our side, he is the strongest among us, and he has every hope of hitting the top three!"

Seeing him sighing while looking at the leaderboard, the student said comfortingly.

"Guan Wei?...I hope so."

Nodding, a smile barely appeared on Lu Ze's beautiful face.

[...No. 1108 Zhao Yumin, No. 11 cabin, No. 1109 Guan Wei, No. 12 cabin, No. 1110 Ling Tianen, No. 13 cabin, No. 1111 Fang Tianhua, No. 14 cabin. 】

[After being seated, check the equipment. If you have no doubts, please wear the central control earphones. To confirm, please press *]

drop--

Finally, it was Ling Tianen's turn, and he went straight to his No. 13 position. Ling Tianen put on the central control earphone, and simply pressed the [*] button.

The full name of the central control headset is the central control headset. After wearing it, its automatic connection function allows the brain to enter the virtual environment set in advance in the headset's connector after one-third of a second. Fighter plane competition is to conduct actual fighter plane operations in a virtual state according to the pre-set war scenes.

【You have 30 seconds to familiarize yourself with the environment. When you are ready, press 1 to start the game. 】

drop.

The background of this mock exam is that during the battle between the two armies, the trainees of the vanguard fleet need to operate a single-man fighter to pass on the information obtained from the enemy's first round of blockade.Since the background of the setting is that the students' single fighters do not have powerful firepower and only have limited escape functions, so it can be used to test the students' proficiency in the buttons of the fighters and their understanding of the functions of the fighters.

[You have enabled the start mode, ready for 3, 2, 1——]

boom -

The original virtual screen, which stood still in front of my eyes, began to move drastically in an instant as the game started.The virtual picture created by the central control earphone makes every vibration of the simulated fighter plane, including the explosion sound near the ear, extremely real.

"KN23, contact our communication station, KL11, turn on the virtual radio wave, and make the sound file into a virtual file for transmission."

Calmly giving instructions to the fighter's terminal computer, Ling Tianen slowly curled the corners of his lips.

How should I put it, even though he knew that this was just a simple virtual match, the realistic picture still revived Ling Tianen's long-lost fighting spirit.

moment.

[Warning, failed to contact our communication station, lost contact with our communication station] The mechanized sound of the terminal sounded in the cabin.

—he knew it would be so.

"YH984, the radius of the scanning blockade. KEEN2 contacts the enemy warship and broadcasts the stealing sound wave mark."

Unhurriedly giving instructions, Ling Tianen watched the time at the top right of his line of sight decrease continuously.

[YH984 received. KEEN2 is being executed. 】

[Scanned blockade radius is 3.5 kilometers, KEEN2 has sent the stolen information to Fang Ship Port. 】

"Excellent, speed up toward the south gable, H111, get ready to pop out of the rescue pod."

【H111 is ready. 】

As the [Fighter] continued to drive towards the middle of the concave shape, the entire virtual cabin shook even more.

It's no wonder that the entire blockade is in a concave shape. If you want to break through the concave shape, more people choose to break through the middle, because compared to the two sides where the firepower is more concentrated, the front in the middle is longer. If it is good, it is also possible to find weak points.

however.

Drop drop-

As it got closer and closer to the edge of the concave shape, the warning lights of the entire virtual cabin began to flash continuously, and the terminal of the fighter plane also started to emit a warning sound.

[Hint, arrive at the scheduled coordinates in three seconds. 】

3--

2--

1--

"H111 pops out of the rescue cabin."

【It has been executed. 】

boom--

Like a huge jellyfish, the entire rescue capsule popped out from the tail of the fighter plane and instantly floated in the virtual space.

However, the next second the rescue capsule popped up.

Bang bang, bang bang—

Intensive firepower attacked the rescue capsule without a single person. In less than half a second, the entire sturdy rescue capsule was wiped out by the firepower of the photon shells.

And this time.

drip-drip-drip-drip-

[Congratulations, successfully escaped the blockade, contestant No. 1110, your first round of fighter assessment is over. 】
