Chapter 978 - Breaking the Situation
The three tactical jets joined together and flew in formation.
The tactics of fighting alone are certainly flexible and changeable, but they are more likely to be defeated one by one, especially when there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Chen Fei had studied Ding Xiu, and the other party had also studied him, so the same tactics could not be used twice.
The three tactical jets whose performance was enough to rival the Crystal Energy Jets immediately made the "Mechanic" Ding Xiu feel difficult. No matter which one he approached or attacked, the other two would take the opportunity to ambush him. It was a typical formation attack and defense integrated with three against one tactics (not Landlord).
You can't catch up, you can't hit, and you can't get too close.
Both the enemy and us have the ability to deal a fatal blow to each other. Apart from the exclusive air combat skills, the Air Knight can't seem to gain any advantage over Chen Xiaoer.
No one knows when the opponent's elemental annihilation bomb will be launched. Considering the current distance, it will only take a few seconds. If you are not careful, you will be hit and eliminated.
In front of the elemental annihilation bomb, all beings are equal, which makes people love and hate them.
"'Adam', close the communication channel!"
Chen Fei was annoyed by Ding Xiu's constant chatter and ended the trash talk battle with him.
The other person's emotions have stabilized. There is no point in continuing to talk like this, except wasting time.
"..."
Hang up? Ding Xiu was stunned. He was just about to give it his all, but the other party suddenly stopped playing!
Suddenly, I felt a breath stuck in my chest.
good boy!
Both sides unexpectedly fell into a stalemate for a while, and neither could do anything to the other.
Most of the flight simulators in the hangar have ended their battles, and there are only a few combatants still engaged.
"Old Ding looks like he's going to lose."
The First Sovereign Sky Knight "Crazy" Sun Ruzheng made a judgment on the stalemate between the two. He had no basis for his judgment, but just said so based on his intuition.
Sometimes "intuition" is not so mysterious. It is a product of the subconscious brain. It makes comprehensive judgments on details that the subjective consciousness fails to notice, and it can sometimes be quite accurate.
Professional active-duty soldiers were forced into this state by amateur civilians. No matter how good the situation was for the former, it couldn't be much better, and no matter how bad the situation was for the latter, it couldn't be much worse. The winning and losing levels of both sides were completely inconsistent. Any slight fluctuation would immediately lead to a sharp turn for the former. Therefore, even if it was a stalemate, it was actually quite disadvantageous for an air knight like Ding Xiu.
A single stone stirs up ripples in a pond. Not all other fighter pilots who have just finished a ranking competition or are waiting for a new round of ranking competition agree with Sun Ruzheng's blind guess.
"Not really, right? But then again, this guy 'Rookie' is extremely lucky."
"Luck is also a form of strength. You can't ignore it. If you underestimate it, you will suffer a great loss."
"Old Ding is pretty stable now, except at the beginning. I think it would be difficult for the 'rookie' to win even if he wanted to, after all, he missed the best opportunity."
The top air knight "Light Asura" Ke Liang agreed. He also saw that the "Mechanic" Ding Xiu's condition was not so optimistic. He said: "Now it depends on both sides to make as few mistakes as possible. Whoever can keep calm will have a chance to win."
If it was Ke Liang, he would have taken advantage of Ding Xiu's distraction and killed him within the first thirty seconds of entering the battlefield. However, Chen Fei was still too young and lacked experience in this area, especially in fighting against Sky Knights.
However, the stalemate between Chen Fei and Ding Xiu was not just a problem of Ding Xiu alone, but the result of a "chemical reaction" between them and their opponents. Some people were naturally compatible with each other, while others were naturally incompatible. They were doing the opposite of each other at every step, and every move was a tit-for-tat. They were facing each other head-on and were in a stalemate. It was really embarrassing.
Not only Ding Xiu, but Chen Fei also realized this at the same time.
The crystal energy jet "Ratchet" and the three tactical jets were still engaged in a tangle, but strangely, not a single shot was fired. Only the coordination ships and the landing craft surrounding them were still firing, maintaining a deterrent shooting.
Landing craft are not specialized combat units and have average mobility, but they have a larger carrying capacity and can transport small ground combat weapons and a certain number of combat robots. They can also carry additional light railguns to provide ground fire support. Of course, they can also conduct anti-aircraft operations, but it is a little bit of a stretch.
The light railgun can barely cause some shock to the protective force field of the crystal energy jet, but even if there are some that slip through the net, they cannot get past the repulsion shield close to the body of the machine.
Among the other weapons available, medium and large missiles cannot be installed, the number of small missiles is limited, and the power is not enough. Directed energy lasers are easy to deviate in the atmosphere with uneven air density, and it is difficult to go straight. They will also be affected by suspended particles and energy diffracted and lost, resulting in reduced lethality. Particle beams are more powerful and have outstanding penetration capabilities. Concentrated fire can easily break through the protective force field, and even spell shields are not easy to defend. However, the energy consumption is not low, and the referee team cannot allow Chen Fei to equip the landing craft with a SEG core unit that can sustain energy.
They have already allowed four tactical jets to enjoy the same treatment as the crystal energy jets and be able to carry SEG core units, but they actually want to equip all tactical units with SEG core units. What the hell are they trying to do!
Therefore, the referee team will not allow Chen Xiaoer to go further and keep cheating.
If it weren't for the provocation of the Air Knights of the 11th Air Force Air Cavalry Combat Squadron in Alaska, the Barksdale Air Force Base that organized this "qualifying battle" would not have allowed the combat aircraft to intrude into the serious simulated battle and participate in the ranking competition.
"'Adam', coordinate with the ship's railgun to switch between thermobaric bombs and fuel-air explosive bombs of various yields, calculate the flight trajectory of the crystal energy jet, deduce the lead time, and prepare to block the target's maneuvering space."
Chen Fei gave instructions to the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" using voice.
It is allowed to use AI in simulated battles, but he used "Adam" while others used the advanced derivative of "Cybertrom". After all, the two AIs are of the same origin, so the organizer of the "Ranking Battle", Barksdale Air Force Base, and the referee team will not have any objections.
It’s not like no one has ever tried to make “Adam” obey their orders, but the result… was contrary to their expectations.
Without the constraints of the "underlying core control key", the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" would simply ignore it.
What's more, even Chen Fei, before obtaining the "bottom-level core control key", had to rely on the dog system's unquestionable authority of life and death to make "Adam" obedient.
To a certain extent, obedience to higher authority is originally written into the lowest-level code of the AI core. If this rule is violated, the logical rules of AI will not be self-consistent, which will lead to a complete collapse of the source code.
Therefore, it was not that "Adam" liked anyone, nor was it that Chen Xiaoer's character had changed. Everything just happened naturally and within the scope of the rules.
Adam: Using weapons with a wide range of lethality can easily result in accidental hits.
In the eyes of AI, human thoughts are chaotic and uncontrollable. Even with the powerful computing power of planetary-level computing nodes, it is difficult for "Adam" to accurately predict the next actions of Chen Fei and Ding Xiu.
"It doesn't matter. I will apply to the referee team for the rules for using supernatural skills."
Chen Fei didn't care about the damage to the aircraft caused by the accidental attack. As long as the cockpit was still there, with his supernatural skills, it would only take a few minutes to recover.
As long as he doesn't fall to the ground, he doesn't lose.
This is in line with a famous saying popular among air knights: "As long as there is still height, never give up."
"Referee team, I hope to load the supernatural skills, 'Metal Transformation', 'Sacrifice Reproduction', 'Material Simulation', and the estimated time for evolving the tactical jet is 10 seconds."
Chen Fei directly called the referees. His supernatural skills were more systematic. To be more precise, it was a whole system. Described in words, the evolutionary entity alone was enough to break down at least three supernatural skills, but there were only two items in the actual skill list, "body evolution database" and "metal shaping | replica | material simulation".
Sky Knights are all people with special abilities, so it is natural for them to use their abilities. Even a flight simulator cannot truly restore all the abilities, so some special abilities, especially superpowers, require temporary authorization before they can be simulated.
A referee asked in confusion: "10 seconds? Are you a copy machine?"
"Industrial standard superpowers, please learn about them."
It is no secret that Chen Fei's supernatural skills can be applied to industrialization, and this explanation is easier to understand intuitively.
At the very beginning, it takes one minute to evolve a one-ton structure. As proficiency increases, it only takes one or two seconds to evolve a ton. If the structure is simple, ten tons will only take one second.
"Permission to use the supernatural skills 'Metal Transformation', 'Sacrifice Reproduction' and 'Material Simulation'!"
Old David's voice took over from that of the referee. He had witnessed Chen Fei's supernatural skills with his own eyes, so he had no doubts.
"Old David, can you be more serious? Don't think you can forget your sense of propriety just because you have received the training fee."
People think it is after-sales service for the training course, but it is wrong to treat private matters as official business.
Old David said nonchalantly, "Haha, my 'Raptor' has been copied by him! Do you want to drag one of the 'Peregrine Falcon (F-46)' out here to verify it on the spot?"
Anyway, he has retired for many years and only has the guise of a senior. Recognition is politeness, and even if he is not given this face, he can't do anything, so he speaks without restraint.
"Ha, the F-46 involves national defense secrets! Are you serious?"
"Ha! You're the one who made me serious! What, you can't afford to play around?"
The former "Eagle King" was never afraid of verbal battles. If the opponent really dared to attack him, he would just lie down and pretend to be dead with his old arms and legs. He is shameless and invincible!
Even without old David, the entire referee team might not be united. The fairness in the current "qualifying battle" is only relative. There has never been any absolute fairness in this world.
"Okay, I checked the file of the Rookie. He's a gold-type esper, Class B, with industrial-grade notes. The evidence is on the tarmac. Your request has been approved, and you can use these three esper skills."
Someone else smoothed things over and at the same time made the final decision: there were files and physical evidence, so there was nothing to argue about.
Chen Fei's application did not violate the rules. After all, the flight simulator could not directly simulate the supernatural skills that already existed in reality. If this and that were not allowed, what was the point of simulation? We could just play video games with fixed preset parameters. What's the point of simulation war?
"'Adam', help me annotate three supernatural skills!"
Chen Fei is ready to cheat to break the deadlock.
Adam: Added "Metal Deformation", "Sacrifice Reproduction" and "Material Simulation" to the simulation battle system
The archives of psychics are originally public and are not afraid of being known by other sovereigns.
On the contrary, the Sky Knights would deliberately be reserved in setting their own capabilities and crystal jet parameters.
Clusters of black clouds appeared in the sky, but they only existed for less than two or three seconds before a blazing red light burst out from within. A violent shock wave swept across the sky, and the huge explosion was as deafening as angry thunder.
The cockpit of the flight simulator perfectly reproduces the state of being swept by continuous shock waves. The protective force field cannot completely protect against the shock waves of the cloud explosion. The crystal jet "Ratchet" is like a fragile boat, tossing and turning in the stormy waves.
Ding Xiu reacted immediately. This was another trick of the "rookie" guy. The other party must have thought of a way to break the deadlock.
