Chapter 95

The silent and intense data oscillation spreads quietly from an origin.

The whole world is sleeping at night. There is no moon tonight. The vast dome is dark and silent, and the clouds are so dense that no stars can be seen.

In the quiet and almost solid air, the wind began to flow slowly.

…

Yu Tang opened his eyes among the pillows.

Zhan Chen is maintaining the data order of this world.

He is directly connected to the eye of the storm. Unlike the magnificent and gorgeous aurora in Yu Tang's sea of consciousness, Zhan Chen's sea of consciousness is a sea of stars that can completely suck people in.

If you look closely, you will find that those "star points" are actually shimmering fragmented data streams.

Zhan Chen's body also lost its physical state, and countless data continued to flow and converge, converging into his current body.

Those marginal data that were shattered by the shock are being repaired and intact under his maintenance, reinforced again, and built into a strong fortress, protecting the entire world.

Yu Tang didn't say anything. He moved his body and sat up leaning on the pillow.

The impression Zhan Chen gave him had always been too real. This was the first time he clearly realized that Zhan Chen had become a set of data.

It is not an importable data schema that is temporarily converted into by the host when executing the task.

Zhan Chen's body, like those broken and repaired data, is completely composed of data, glowing with a light blue cold light, and you can even see the other side through the gaps in the data.

There was also a stream of shimmering data in his eyes, and his brows were intertwined by the constant flow of light. They were handsome and cold, like a three-dimensional model with superior data in all aspects.

The terminal's countless breakthrough attempts were firmly blocked by the rapidly built data fortress, failing to stir up any butterflies in this world.

Yu Tang watched quietly for a while, then lay back on the pillow that was carefully set up, covered him with a thin blanket, and closed his eyes.

The deep and dark cosmic night sky revealed layer by layer the deep blue of the approaching dawn.

In reality.

The holographic game equipment was distributed and handed to each trainee.

Still in fear of the truth, Wu Ming got the gaming helmet and was stunned: "Commander Shi, do you want us to play games?"

Shi Ji nodded: "Yes."

"This is a holographic system that completely simulates an insect wave battle."

Shi Ji said: "There are 139 known Zerg types in it. After you log in, you can create your own account, set character-related data, and choose individual or team combat modes."

Someone asked in a low voice: "Can I still use mechas?"

"Yes." Shi Ji said, "The technology tree in the system is completely consistent with the real world. You can choose your own wingmen and mechas, modify them at will, and equip them with any weapons you like."

"In the system, everything is completely realistic." Shi Ji said, "As long as a mecha can be made that conforms to a scientific structure, it is allowed to be assembled and used."

When several junior officers in the active army heard this sentence, their eyes lit up unconsciously.

None of them had ever used non-standard mechas. Even after hearing those words, they felt very creepy, but at this time they still couldn't help but feel instinctive excitement.

The future described by Shi Ji does sound scary, but it is too far away after all.

It's so far away that many people can't even have concrete imaginations, and even still take chances, thinking that it's just a hypothesis and that the real situation is not so serious.

…

In the monitoring room, Dean Nie couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"It's not surprising." Pu Ying said, "Everyone's ability to accept is different, and it is difficult for some people to overcome their own inherent cognition."

These young mecha operators have always received the education that only the strong are qualified to move up. They grew up in arena competitions and mecha battles.

They are used to the added strength of mechas, and they have considerable confidence in their own strength.

Wanting to rely on Shi Ji's words, everyone suddenly woke up and completely woke up from this dream that had been painstakingly woven for many years, but it was a bit whimsical.

"The instructor is using his own methods to solve the problem."

Pu Ying looked at the monitoring screen: "We have to take care of other tasks."

Dean Nie was stunned for a moment: "What mission?"

"Find out the position of each conservative," Pu Ying said. "Most people here are here to satisfy their own selfish desires."

For example, Sheng Tiancheng, the senior military officer and Staff Officer Shi who tried to disrupt the exercise.

The research and development of mechas is almost a bottomless pit of funds. Precious minerals, cutting-edge technology, and new energy sources. Over the years, the alliance's military expenditure has increased year by year, and a large part of it has been swallowed up by mechas.

It has been thoroughly investigated how much of the research funds actually went to the institute, and how much was pocketed and divided among layers.

It is an indisputable fact that these conservative people, for their own interests, disregard the future of the entire federation and even the interstellar world.

Dean Nie frowned: "Besides this, is there any other position?"

Pu Ying: "Yes."

He took the initiative to apply to participate in the investigation of this military incident. Before that, he had another case that had not been fully concluded.

Investigate those high-level alliance officials who paved the way for Wen You, provided support, sheltered Wen You, and blocked all inquiries and complaints from the military on his behalf when Wen You became the head of the General Scientific Research Institute.

The most bizarre aspect of the investigation was the motive.

Research related to electronic storms, at least on the surface, is still scientific. It cannot bring more immediate returns like mechas, and it is difficult to provide enough benefits to attract these moths.

Wen Er did it because of his perverted obsession, and his mentor did it because of his ambition to renounce.But the network of relationships extended by them must have a more real and reliable reason.

Pu Ying was never able to come up with this answer until he applied to the military department and got the truth about the research on androids.

"Internal moths are easy to clean, but Captain Zhuang and Instructor Shi are looking for ways to solve the external aggressive pressure."

Pu Ying: "What we want to stop for instructor Shi and the special forces team is the knife coming from behind."

Dean Nie had already understood what he meant. His gray eyebrows were twisted tightly and he said nothing.

"Why do all the Stars choose the mecha mode when facing the Zerg?"

"Why should sane people be wiped out, and people who can change the status quo be eliminated?"

"Why did this clearing happen before the insect wave arrived and everything started?"

Pu Ying's tone was still somewhat rigid. He spoke slowly and continued word for word.

"What we need to find out is whether someone among the top leaders of the alliance has already betrayed our planet."

Pu Ying: "Has someone traded our interstellar space to the Zerg?"

After the meeting, this newly released large-scale holographic insect swarm simulation battle game was distributed to all trainees of the special operations team.

The game can be played online, with no limit on team size, resources and funding.

Everyone has a unique account and can choose the mecha or wingman they like, perform any basic modifications, and adopt any combat mode.

Over the next half month, the insect tide will continue to attack from time to time.

Killing Zerg can get you rich experience points, and at the same time unlock more advanced weapons and technology trees to further upgrade your equipment.

No saving, no restarting.

Everyone's account is one-time use and will be canceled once they die and cannot be re-registered.

One student couldn't help but ask: "What if the insect wave suddenly attacks when we are not online?"

Nie Chi: "While you were sleeping, a swarm of insects suddenly attacked. What should you do?"

The student was speechless and retreated.

...It was only now that many students finally realized what the real purpose of the game given to them was.

This is an infinite simulated real war.

Nie Chi glanced around: "Any other questions?"

Ye Hanfeng put down his gaming helmet and raised his hand: "Instructor Nie, do all instructors also have accounts in the game?"

"Yes." Nie Chi said.

Both Zhuang Yu and Nie Chi will enter the game to provide practical guidance to the students and organize a battle against the insect tide when necessary.

If the students' accounts are upgraded high enough, they can also gain command rights and lead virtual active troops to resist.

After hearing this, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their expressions became much more relaxed.

Ye Hanfeng did not sit down immediately.

He knew his own strength, and he was considered a genius in the academy. But when he joined the special forces team full of talents, he could only be ranked in the middle of the pack in terms of physical fitness, combat experience and combat awareness.

In these days of extreme human training, he worked hard to keep himself from falling behind.When the body is exhausted to the limit, the mind becomes clearer and can see clearly those parts that were originally blocked by pride.

He didn't think Shi Ji's words were alarmist at all.

"Excuse me, will Instructor Shi also participate in the battle?"

Ye Hanfeng said: "If allowed, I would like to apply to be on the same team as instructor Shi."

Wu Ming didn't expect this. His eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately raised his hands: "I want it too! You can do whatever you ask me to do"

Nie Chi didn't know Shi Ji's plan either. He had already seen the video of Shi Ji's battle in the exercise and did not support Shi Ji's decision to still make these students dependent at this time.

Nie Chi turned his gaze sideways, waiting for Shi Ji's answer.

Shi Ji had been quietly listening to the students' discussion, and only stood up after hearing this.

"I'm in the fight, but you can't team up with me."

Shi Ji didn't wait for the students to guess, and directly gave the answer: "My role this time is the commander of the Zerg side."

The originally chaotic conference room suddenly became quiet.

Several students had already formed a group and were excitedly discussing the battle plan. They stopped talking and looked over in astonishment.

Wu Ming was speechless and smiled bitterly for a while: "Commander Shi, you are not leaving us any way to survive..."

Shi Ji asked: "You don't want to defeat me?"

Wu Ming was startled.

After the exercise, he actually never thought about this issue again.

There are few mecha operators who have reached this stage who are not arrogant. Even if they are beaten to the point of submission, there is always a sigh of relief in their subconscious.

When Shi Ji chose the Zerg commander, he gave up all the fighting methods he was best at, retaining only his combat consciousness and overall view.

But on their side, everyone's basic mechas are infinitely better than the military's standard mechas, not to mention that they can be modified at will and upgraded with experience points.Because it is a game simulation, the synergy between everyone and the mecha can naturally reach its highest level. With the presence of Captain Zhuang and Instructor Nie, it may not be as vulnerable as before.

Wu Ming was embarrassed, touched his head, and grinned: "Isn't it not good..."

Shi Ji shook his head: "It's not bad."

Shi Ji: "I also hope you can defeat me."

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

... For some reason, he suddenly remembered a real video of a battle that he organized to watch when he was still in the active army.

The videotape was already a few years old, the picture quality was not very clear, and the video angle was very confusing.

In the shaking screen, the Insect King, a poisonous fog bug, was leading a swarm of insects to attack the human defense line crazily, and when he was about to crash into a mothership, he suddenly paused briefly.

This kind of mothership is the unified habitat of mechas. It is a place where mechas repair, replace energy, and replenish supplies. It is also the safest place for mecha operators to rest.

Many mecha operators who have experienced war and are accustomed to wandering in the universe will call this kind of mothership "home".

The mothership is mainly heavily loaded and does not have a strong attack power. It was because the frigate's defense line was torn apart that the Insect King forced it closer.

They all thought that the mothership would be destroyed by the Insect King's crazy attack.

"It's strange that some insect kings are not very aggressive towards the mothership."

The researcher responsible for playing the video at the time said: "We have encountered this situation many times in our observations. When some insect kings encounter the mothership, they will give up the attack and try to dock."

The researchers said: "We speculate that perhaps the shape of this mothership is similar to the habitats they were familiar with in the past..."

…

No one has ever thought that these insect kings might have once been a powerful mecha, a top mecha operator and commander.

Accompanied by the researcher's voice, the insect king's movements on the screen became smoother.

It stopped in front of the mothership, its ferocious and chaotic compound eyes revealed an unprecedented brightness, as if the familiar sight in front of it had evoked some remaining memories with minimal margins.

It made a soft and short insect chirp, trying to dock back to the mothership it saw.

Countless artillery fire focused on it, hitting its undefended lower abdomen. The Zerg and humans were incompatible with each other. There were countless mechas being repaired on the mothership, and no one would be soft-hearted.

The Insect King screamed in pain in the gunfire.

According to the training received by mecha operators, the dying insect king will burst out with the strongest aggression and escape at all costs. Any mechas and frigates that try to block it will be destroyed into a pile of ruins by its crazy and out-of-control struggle.

But in the video, the insect king that was attacked rushed towards the core area where the artillery fire was more intense.

...It's like actively wanting to be killed.

"This insect king was later dissected. It was very strange. The outer shell was made of something more like a metal, and it was completely connected to the inside."

"These newly mutated Zerg are completely different from the Zerg we are familiar with."

The researchers said: "Through summary, we have been able to decipher the content of part of the insect chirping. When the insect king makes this chirping sound, the rest of the insect species will quickly retreat."

"It will actively choose to be killed. Before it dies completely, it will briefly have a very conscious human-like state."

"This is a final notice to the companions it leads."

…

"Don't anchor, this is not home."
