Chapter 63

Chapter 63

The people responsible for this assessment were two A-level instructors from the mecha department and the wingman department.

The instructors who can come to teach at the Alliance Military Academy are undoubtedly the elites of the military.The S-class instructors in the academy are all retired and recovered officers. Everyone has fought with live ammunition in the insect wave and will not participate in this kind of assessment like playing house.

Although A-level instructors have no battlefield experience, they are also elite members of the top troops in each theater. They are specially hired to teach, and they will still return to the team after the end.

For the students of the military academy, if an A-level instructor can survive the fifteen minutes when facing the mecha's performance limit of 30%, it is worth showing off.

Even Shi Ji, the number one observer in his heyday, only got a tie when his partner Sheng Yi challenged the A-level instructor.

The current best performer in the academy is Ye Hanfeng. During the six months since Shi Ji disappeared, Ye Hanfeng and his partner have remained at the top of the list.Just half a month ago, through tactics, he forced the instructor to increase the wingman's suppression performance to 35%.

In the challenge, this can be regarded as a glorious victory.

"Why bother? You go up here to lose a game, and you don't want to let the operator get rid of you?"

Next to Ye Hanfeng, his mecha operator sneered: "You look decent, and you even have a prosthetic leg. If it's useless, it's useless..."

Ye Hanfeng couldn't help but frown.

"Okay, I won't tell." His mecha operator shut his mouth. After a while, he couldn't help but ask Ye Hanfeng, "What do you think of him? Can he really get the quota?"

Ye Hanfeng said: "I don't know."

Because of Sheng Yi, he never had a good impression of Shi Ji, but that didn't mean that he wasn't wary of Shi Ji's original strength.

Even in this final assessment, Shi Ji's score had obviously dropped a lot. Ye Hanfeng still instinctively felt that Shi Ji's true strength should not be limited to the level he showed when he was paired with Sheng Yi.

…

But these words undoubtedly cannot be said in front of Sheng Yi.

When they first entered school, Ye Hanfeng and Sheng Yi were not familiar with each other, and they mentioned it once accidentally.

Sheng Yi's reaction was particularly fierce, and the two almost became enemies because of it. After that, whenever they met, they would inevitably have a tit-for-tat fight.

On the contrary, in the past six months, Sheng Yi's grades have plummeted. He has lost his arrogant temper and his eyes are no longer on the top of his head. The relationship between him and Sheng Yi has inexplicably eased a lot.

A few days ago, Sheng Yi had a fight with someone who didn't know who he was. He was left with a bruised nose and a swollen face.Sheng Yi was so angry when he heard that Shi Ji was going to be paired with some automatic mecha for the test, that he rushed over to question Shi Ji regardless.

Ye Hanfeng forcibly pulled him back and pinned him down in the audience.

"What are you so angry about?"

Ye Hanfeng still can't understand it. He turned his head and looked at Sheng Yi: "Don't you just hope that he will no longer control you?"

Sheng Yi was speechless for a moment, gritting his teeth, his face turning green and white.

Ye Hanfeng looked at Shi Ji's inconspicuous wingman.

If Shi Ji can really tie or even win this battle, he will become their opponent and compete with them for a spot in the special team training.

Ye Hanfeng needed more information, so he asked Sheng Yi: "You said that he received special training from your father. Did the special training at that time bear fruit?"

"Of course!" Sheng Yi said angrily, "All his strength was given to him by my father! It's because he didn't raise him well! He's a wolf with white eyes! He turns his back on others and doesn't recognize anyone..."

Ye Hanfeng frowned.

Sheng Yi's mecha was inherited from his father, and Sheng's father's training should also be the same as Sheng Yi's fighting habits - single-soldier breakthroughs, using strong force to open gaps, he is a standard assaulterstyle of play.

But what Shi Ji chose now was obviously the sniper's blade mode.

Ye Hanfeng asked: "Who is he? Before he came to your house..."

In the combat area, inside the slowly rising protective shield.

Shi Ji flicked the flashing light on the wing twice.

This is the military's special light language for requesting communication. The A-level instructor on the opposite side was ready and opened the communication: "What's the matter?"

"Hello." Shi Ji said warmly, "This is my first time partnering with this mecha, and I'm not very skilled at it yet."

The A-level instructors are used to this kind of assessment and don't take it seriously: "Don't worry, we have the people and we will control it."

"I don't have any."

Shi Ji apologized a little: "Sorry... I haven't been allowed to fight like this for a long time."

The A-level instructor was stunned for a moment.

They began to look at the wingman for the first time. Before they could see any clues, Shi Ji had already lifted the joystick and hovered at the upper left side of the mecha: "If possible, please let go of the strength restrictions and turn on the defense system."

Shi Ji: "If you need to stop, please tell me anytime."

The two A-level instructors were a little surprised. They had also heard of Shi Ji's reputation and had seen Shi Ji and Sheng Yi fighting together.

Looking at the number one observer who once had great success but unfortunately declined due to injury, they could hardly tell whether Shi Ji was serious or making harsh remarks.

…

The next moment, Shi Ji's wingman disappeared directly from their radar.

The professional wingman instructor was shocked.

When he realized this, cold sweat had instantly soaked through his training uniform.

He raised the joystick and asked the wingman to fly up immediately, pulled off the communicator, and informed the main armor: "Defense! The enemy wingman has entered the radar blind spot, exchange detection fields -"

At the same time that the mecha's view was cut, his wingman shook violently, and the alarm light on the control panel lit up.

The infrared detection on one side was destroyed.

Shi Ji's wingman appeared directly behind him, and the mecha piloted by the instructor immediately took over. The huge metal shell roared, aiming at one side of Shi Ji's wing, and fired a highly destructive tracking missile.

This kind of missile has an automatic positioning and tracking system. Under normal circumstances, it will not be used on students during assessments.

But after just one meeting, they quickly realized that this was by no means the flying ability that a military academy student should have.

The mecha instructor activated the jet, preparing to seize the opportunity to respond to the gap between the tracking bombs and enter the same altitude as his own wingman.

The next moment, Shi Ji's wingman had already made an action that completely exceeded their expectations.

The wingman's nose was tilted up to the limit. The tail of the entire aircraft was in front of the nose and almost flattened in the opposite direction. At the same time, it quickly moved its head to the left.In the ultra-high-speed flight state, the tracking missile had no time to react, and even had no time to re-aim, and still maintained the original trajectory of high-speed advancement.

In the gap that was opened, right in front of the tracking missile, the academy instructor's wingman had just leveled off.

The missile originally aimed at Shi Ji shot straight towards his own wingman!

The mecha instructor's expression changed, and the speed of the propeller was turned to the limit, and the huge mecha was firmly blocking his wingman.

The missile hit hard on the high-strength metal shell that had experienced many battles.

…

The smoke slowly dispersed.

There was silence in the auditorium. Ye Hanfeng's mecha operator had his eyes widened, his face turned pale, and his mouth was open and speechless.

Ye Hanfeng frowned silently and slowly clenched his palms soaked in cold sweat.

Fifteen seconds.

Shi Ji directly used the Cobra maneuver that they were strictly prohibited from trying, and re-improved this performance move that was more gimmick than actual combat significance, giving it the most straightforward tactical significance.

If the tracking missile launched by the instructor's mecha had not been narrowly blocked by the mecha at the last second, it would have directly destroyed the instructor's wingman.

Shi Ji didn't even cooperate with his mecha. He just used his flying skills, supplemented by his strong combat awareness——

Ye Hanfeng suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at the field and stood up quickly.

That silver-gray mecha...hasn't moved at all!

Shi Ji didn't give any coordination instructions to the mecha at all. He only relied on his own wingman. In just fifteen seconds, the instructor's mecha almost blew his partner down with a missile!

In the field, Shi Ji's wingman returned to normal flight status, circled briefly, and returned to his own mecha.

Shi Ji turned the communicator back on.

"Next, I will wait for ten seconds and then enter the official combat state."

His tone remained unchanged, still serious and gentle: "Please lift the restrictions and do your best to protect yourself."

…

Across the protective shield, the two instructors looked at each other silently, and at the same time canceled the 30% attack power limit program.

The professional wingman instructor urgently dealt with the destroyed infrared detector on one side. Still sweating on his forehead, he reset the parameters and looked up at the countdown on the sidelines.

The students could only see that Shi Ji was terrifyingly strong, and there was no way for them to have a clearer understanding until they came into contact with a real battle.

The instructors who specialize in wingman are also elite observers. They are from the wingman corps directly under the imperial capital, have won rankings in the military region, and once reached the third level in the selection of the special forces team.

Just now, he almost had a vague delusion.

He seemed to have re-encountered those ridiculously strong freaks who had been carefully selected from the special operations team, had top talents, and had been polished bit by bit through countless training and actual combat.

…

Shi Ji and his mecha were silent together.

The silver-gray mecha has streamlined blade wings and a fully camouflaged anti-detection coating. It is almost half the size of the instructor's mecha.

The mecha is completely commanded by an AI program, and there is no one in the cockpit. On the empty seat is a frontal photo of a kind-hearted dolphin provided by an anonymous enthusiast.

...The two instructors could no longer distinguish between their moods. They thought the photo was outrageous or funny.

The timer on the sidelines jumped to the last "10".

The mecha's bright red taillight, which represented its resting state, suddenly went out, its jet thrusters turned on, and its speed instantly reached its limit.

The professional wingman instructor focused his attention and stared intently at Shi Ji's movements.

This time, Shi Ji did not perform any difficult flight operations.

In the observer, the wingman and the mecha together formed an indestructible blade, which cut straight into the core energy area of the instructor's mecha.

The wingman issued an urgent warning, and the mecha instructor responded immediately. The huge anthropomorphic mecha quickly retreated, with one arm firmly blocking the energy zone on the chest.At the same time, the instructor's wingman quickly cooperated and swooped down to intercept the silver mecha behind Shi Ji.

The silver mecha swept up and fired back, briefly separating from Shi Ji's wingman, creating an extremely slight gap.

The huge humanoid mecha reacted quickly and fired two medium-range bombs at Shi Ji's wingman.

In the hot air current close at hand, the wingman climbed to the limit at a high elevation angle.

The wingman's professional instructor's eyes lit up: "Now!"

No matter how high the wingman's level is, as long as he dodges attacks, he will inevitably lose his speed and altitude advantage.

Shi Ji and the self-piloting mecha have not gotten along, and the AI pilot has always lacked maneuverability. As long as this gap can be used, it is possible to directly shoot down Shi Ji's wingman!

The instructor's operation was far more precise than that of the students. Following the guidance of the observer's hand, the seemingly clumsy mecha was incredibly nimble, ducking neatly to avoid it, and inserting itself into the gap.

In the cockpit, Shi Ji's expression was quiet, but his eyes were deep and sharp.

At the moment when the wingman stalled, the silver machine opened its air cannon and was bombarded by extremely compressed ultra-high-speed airflow on its own wingman.

Shi Ji's wingman circled with the help of airflow, and his flight path instantly reversed.

The wingman's professional instructor had never seen such an operation before. His eyes widened in astonishment, and his expression changed instantly: "It's a trap, open the protective shield, and retreat to the 8 o'clock direction—"

He had no time to give further instructions.

Shi Ji had just destroyed the infrared detector on his side, and there was no warning from the radar, but the blinding laser emitted by the silver mecha had already appeared in his field of vision.

The professional wingman instructor hurriedly dodged, but Shi Ji was faster than him. He quickly turned around with the tail nozzle as the axis, firmly blocking his retreat.

At the same time, the huge humanoid mecha was unable to dodge and collided with the silver mecha.

This kind of extreme hand-to-hand combat, which is almost face-to-face, finally highlights the advantages of AI-controlled mechas.

——The machine has no fear. In the most dangerous situation, the instinct of self-preservation will not affect its operation accuracy. It will only destroy the most important target first.

With a loud bang, the energy tank on one side of the humanoid mecha was blown up, and half of the thrusters were instantly extinguished.

The silver mecha took to the air again and circled steadily back behind Shi Ji's wingman.

The professional wingman instructor stared blankly at the situation in front of him in disbelief, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

He made a mistake.

The gap provided by Shi Ji was too confusing. He directed the mecha to attack, but led the mecha into a trap.

Why would an observer of this level... serve as a wingman for so long to an assault mecha that only knows how to fight bravely?!

In the cockpit, Shi Ji distractedly checked the performance of the silver mecha and then raised his head again.

…

In the sea of consciousness, Yu Tang had just finished chewing the third tablet of motion sickness pills.

He had intercepted more than a dozen rounds of stern instructions issued by the anti-OOC program, breathed lightly, and rubbed his sore wrists.

"Host, an abnormality has been detected in the auditorium."

The system said: "It's the mecha operator who is partnered with Ye Hanfeng... his name is Xin Qiang. He doesn't want Shi Ji to win."

If it was the strength that Shi Ji originally showed, Xin Qiang wouldn't be so nervous.

But Shi Ji's current performance has simply exceeded the understanding of these students. Once he enters the training, he will become the most terrifying and powerful opponent.

"He wants to use a high-power searchlight. Being exposed to such intensity of light will cause a person to temporarily lose his vision."

The system asked: "Should we handle it in advance?"

Yu Tang knew it well and shook his head: "No need."

The system was a little worried: "Although it is not a formal battle and there are protective measures, this situation is still very dangerous for the observer in blade mode..."

The sharpest thing about a knife is the blade, but the most vulnerable thing to damage is also the blade.

If an accident occurs, even if they are able to protect Shi Ji's body, it may cause Shi Ji's wingman to be injured and unable to successfully participate in the subsequent training.

"Our little S7 was killed from the insect wave."

Yu Tang slowly rubbed his wrist. He was still staring at the screen distractedly, ready to intercept the next wave of program instructions at any time: "The mecha made by Senior Zhan will not be just a knife."

The system failed to understand, and flashed a small red light in a daze, floating next to him.

Yu Tang raised his head and glanced at the screen.

…

The combination of Shi Ji and the silver mecha has already locked the winning rate of this battle.

In the battle, Shi Ji even had some remaining strength, giving the AI a full opportunity to demonstrate its intelligent control.

After half of the energy warehouse was destroyed, the mecha completely lost its air territory, and the power of the weapons it assembled was also greatly weakened.Without the protection of the mecha, the wingman was flanked by Shi Ji and the silver mecha, leaving almost no room for resistance.

In just a few minutes, Shi Ji had destroyed all the wingman's detection radars.

"Why are you just hitting my radar?!"

The professional wingman instructor had no radar and his eyesight was all black. He could only rely on the narrow field of vision to circle around in the air in vain. He even said angrily: "You shot me down!"

Shi Ji was startled.

He has never been allowed to exceed the limelight of the main armor. This order is too strict, and even in the case of being intercepted, it has become a subconscious habit for him.

He cannot cross the line and destroy the opponent's wingman until the mecha's battle is over.

Shi Ji was quiet for a moment and asked softly: "Is it okay?"

Wingman instructor: "..."

Yu Tang knew who he was asking, so he couldn't hold back his smile and coughed in the sea of consciousness: "Okay."

Yu Tang had already moved his wrists and rolled up his cuffs: "Don't worry, this amount of work will be enough."

When he gave his answer, Shi Ji could still vaguely notice that the familiar strict prohibition jumped out in an instant, but he failed to issue an early warning of erasure like every time.

——Almost at the same moment, the ban was completely blocked and intercepted, reduced to basic data, leaving no trace of the aftermath.

As long as the opponent's wingman is shot down, the battle will be over.

Shi Ji raised his hand and held up the sight of the laser weapon.

…

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

A dazzling white light that was extremely dazzling shot out from the auditorium.

Shi Ji's eyes suddenly glowed with snow.

The wingman instructor had not encountered such a strong opponent for a long time. He was not angry because of the failure. He was about to contact the dean when a dazzling light flashed and his heart sank.

...These bastards!

In the normal battle mode, the auditorium uses bright lights to interfere with the battle, which is indeed the academy's tacit approval. After all, the battlefield is surrounded by dangers and anything can happen.

But just now, he urged Shi Ji to knock him down as soon as possible.

Temporary blindness caused by high-intensity searchlights will last at least two to three minutes within the scope's field of view.

"Don't move, we'll handle it!"

The wingman instructor pulled over the communicator and said quickly: "Don't move anything. The wingman should be able to stay in the air for one minute. We will send a rescue plane to pick you up..."

"No need." Shi Ji said warmly.

The wingman instructor was stunned.

Shi Ji closed his eyes. He didn't have to fumble and grasped the joystick exactly.

He is very familiar with this control panel.

During the battle just now, Shi Ji had already imprinted the entire battle area in his mind.

He circled in the wingman for half a circle and asked the wingman instructor: "Do you still need me to shoot you down?"

Wingman instructor: "?"

Shi Ji aimed the laser weapon at the instructor's wingman again.

When the radar detects an enemy target, it will give a short "beep" sound.

In a fixed sector-shaped area, the scanning speed of the radar is fixed. By starting the scan and giving the interval between the prompts, the angle of the target on the plane can be judged.

By overlapping the detection areas of the three radars and modeling them three-dimensionally in your mind, you can get the exact location of the target.

This was a skill that observers needed to master a decade ago.

The technological content of wingmen and mechas at that time was far inferior to what it is now.When the insect swarm is at its densest, it can block almost 90% of sunlight. In an environment that is close to total darkness, observers need to use such complex calculations to guide the mecha most accurately.

The wingman instructor was stunned for a long time, then laughed angrily: "Okay, okay... let's fight quickly. It's better to be beaten down than to admit defeat."

Shi Ji pressed the laser transmitter.

The instructor finally finished the fight. He breathed a sigh of relief and landed with the rickety and smoking wingman: "The last time I was beaten so badly was more than ten years ago when I participated in the special team training and met a man.Wingman No. S7...who are you?"

Shi Ji was about to control his wingman to land when he heard the question from the communicator and was suddenly startled.

His men missed the mark for the first time.

The wingman's flight path deviated slightly and narrowly missed the protective shield. Before the rescue aircraft below could react, the silver mecha had already taken off again.

Like the dolphin, the silver-gray mecha turned off the combat mode on its own initiative. The sharp bladed wings that tore open the shell of the opposing mecha and smashed the energy tank were all docile and retracted, catching him steadily.

…

In the audience, Ye Hanfeng turned off the high-intensity searchlight.

He didn't expect his partner to do such a thing, so he pulled Xin Qiang and threw him down hard, then looked back at Sheng Yi.

"This is not something your father could teach him."

Ye Hanfeng: "If he doesn't serve as an observer for you, he can defeat a small insect swarm by piloting a wingman alone."

"Although your father is affiliated with the military, he is only a senior colonel. Why can he support an observer of this level in his own name?"

Ye Hanfeng frowned and looked at Sheng Yi, who was blushing and looking dazed and embarrassed: "Have you ever asked, who is he?"
