He found that a scene was gradually appearing in his mind, a scene in the main control room of a spaceship.
However, his consciousness is still free and he can still control his body's movements normally.
After simply adjusting to this strange perspective, Chen Ming focused his attention on this simulated scene.
In this spacecraft's main control room, which should have been bustling with activity, he was the only one there.
However, there are still 300 spaceships neatly arranged outside that can be seen through the porthole.
This was a small-to-medium-scale simulation, three hundred versus three hundred, fifty destroyers and two hundred and fifty escorts.
The environment is set to the most ordinary cosmic environment. Apart from the illumination provided by a star, there is almost no physical interference.
And the settings that Chen Ming just mentioned were basically realized in this simulation.
However, some settings are not too excessive, so the destroyed spaceships are set up so that they cannot rely on Chen Ming's psychic power to return to the battlefield.
However, Baiquan also had three damaged spaceships with damage levels not exceeding 50% that could be assembled into a complete spaceship, which did not completely restrict Chen Ming's spiritual power.
Of course, Chen Ming couldn’t just make it based on the materials he had, he could only choose a sample from the spacecraft that was originally used as the material to reproduce it.
Otherwise, Bai Quan wouldn’t know how the opponent would win if all the players on Chen Ming’s side started to use heavy rain.
Moreover, this small-scale simulation is different from large-scale, long-term simulations that need to take all aspects into consideration. Generally speaking, logistical issues are not taken into consideration. It purely tests a person's command skills on the battlefield.
So among these 300 spaceships, there is not a single fuel ship or cargo ship.
With unlimited logistics, Chen Ming's strength can be exerted to a terrifying level.
What's more, small-scale operations are less likely to cause accidents.
If Chen Ming's outrageous ability was not restricted, Bai Quan even felt that Chen Ming could destroy all the enemy ships in a battle while ending the battle without losing a single ship on his side.
Of course, after the restrictions, Chen Ming couldn't go that far anymore.
After he entered the simulation device and confirmed that the restrictions had been met, he dispatched thirty frigates normally.
The ships were divided into ten groups of three each, evenly spaced out, and began to explore forward.
Although Chen Ming was unable to see the opponent's fleet from the sensors when the simulated battlefield just began, the positions of both sides in this kind of small-scale battle were fixed, right in front.
This distance at the beginning also provides an opportunity for both sides to deploy different tactics.
So at the beginning, Chen Ming must test the waters first to understand the other party's plans.
His biggest advantage is fighting head-on, but the opponent may not do as he wishes.
What he has to do next is to understand the opponent's information and find a way to drag the battlefield into the situation he most wants to see.
Therefore, Chen Ming's own fleet stayed where it was and did not move, but he kept arranging new three-ship teams to go out and explore, looking for traces of the enemy fleet.
Although Chen Ming's search attempt was unsuccessful, he was unable to find any trace of the enemy fleet.
However, the other side seemed to have found a three-ship team he had sent out.
Because Chen Ming suddenly discovered that one of the teams he sent out had its communication signal blocked.
Although signal shielding is a type of electronic warfare, electronic warfare is not limited to signal shielding.
Chen Ming was naturally affected because he did not set up anything at the beginning.
However, although the impact is an impact, the scope of this impact is limited to the command conducted through normal communication channels.
Chen Ming doesn't rely on communication signals at all. He can directly and intuitively grasp the situation of each spacecraft, even if the signals are blocked.
And at the moment the signal was blocked, the sensors of Chen Ming's three spaceships immediately scanned that the enemy fleet was approaching.
A small fleet consisting of five destroyers and twenty-five frigates appeared near Chen Ming's three-ship squadron.
Because the fleet cluster has a certain degree of bonus on the spacecraft's sensor equipment, they can scan a larger range, so they discovered the three escort ships in advance and surrounded them.
Just a few seconds after the sensors of the three escort ships detected the small fleet, they came under fierce attack and were almost instantly wiped out by concentrated fire.
But from the moment the signal is blocked.
Chen Ming's flagship was still receiving normal signals from the returning spacecraft.
This means that the other side has cracked the communication code of his command and contact, pretending that everything is normal now, and is preparing to cause trouble.
But it’s not a big problem. Chen Ming is even too lazy to change the password.
Even this code may become his way of fighting back in the future.
But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly thought of something.
He said to Baiquan: "Even if my psychic spaceship is destroyed and only an iron atom is left, I can still control this iron atom and do whatever I want."
The moment Bai Quan heard this outrageous description, he already knew what Chen Ming was going to do, and what Chen Ming said next was not beyond his expectations.
"Just now I saw a bit of spaceship wreckage hit the opposite spaceship, leaving some debris on it..."
Bai Quan pinched his brows and said with a headache: "This simulation is mainly to test your command ability, so use less psychic energy."
"Just think of her spaceship as being permanently in your field of vision. Don't do anything else. I'll give you permission..."
"That's fine."
Chen Ming agreed with Bai Quan's statement.
And soon, through Baiquan's temporary changes to the settings, the positions of the thirty spaceships were completely locked.
After this small fleet left, Chen Ming's three destroyed spaceships gathered together and flew directly along the path of the local fleet, trying to investigate.
Then Chen Ming calculated the fleet's sailing speed, and then sent fifteen spaceships to each flank of his fleet to continue searching for the traces of the enemy fleet.
Of the nine small fleets he had sent out before that had not yet found the target, only two continued to explore forward.
The other seven gradually circled towards the enemy's small fleet.
Although the other party's signal blocking method was very smooth, if Chen Ming used the communication equipment normally, he would indeed be fooled.
But having said that, the other side certainly cannot completely rely on signal blocking methods that cannot be confirmed to be effective.
The sudden appearance of this small fleet is most likely a bait released by the other side.
So after thinking about it, Chen Ming chose to step directly in.
This should be the most effective way to contact the local fleet.
Just as he thought, Chen Ming's three-ship team that went out to explore turned and headed towards the enemy's small fleet.
Another fleet of thirty ships used the same method to destroy Chen Ming's two fleets.
When the opponent did this, Chen Ming really had no ability to fight back reliably.
But he also marked the opposing spaceship.
The locations of another sixty ships appeared in his eyes.
Combined with the spaceships sent out by Chen Ming himself, one-third of the simulated battlefield area was completely unable to hide the traces of the opponent's main fleet.
It won’t take long for Chen Ming to completely discover the opponent’s position and force the situation into the one he wants to see.
Soon another fleet of thirty ships was discovered by Chen Ming.
There are a total of 300 spaceships, 120 of which are from four fleets wandering outside. It is obvious that the other side wants to fight guerrilla warfare to the end.
However, the opponent is still unclear about his position. After all, who would have thought that Chen Ming's main fleet has not moved since the beginning of the game.
So the opposing fleet has been running around. In addition to looking for Chen Ming's main fleet, it is obvious that they don't want to give Chen Ming any chance to drag this simulation into a frontal battlefield.
The opponent wants to gradually erode him by involving multiple fleets.
Chen Ming observed for a moment and directly chose to mobilize the main fleet to surround one of the small fleets that was free.
Although the opponent affected Chen Ming's search progress by the continuous appearance and attacks of small-scale fleets, several of Chen Ming's three-ship teams obtained various complex redundant information.
If he really wanted to integrate and organize this information, he would be in a state of panic and would not be able to figure out where the opposing fleet was, and would be completely passive.
But with the help of psychic powers, Chen Ming is now no different from someone with the ability to see through things.
He had even roughly analyzed the movement trajectory of the enemy fleet.
And this fleet, which is his first target, will soon be isolated in order to interfere with the search fleet sent out by Chen Ming.
This was the opportunity he needed to seize.
Less than five minutes had passed, and before they knew it, the enemy fleet had been surrounded by Chen Ming's main fleet.
And when the other side scanned Chen Ming's fleet, it was the same as when Chen Ming's three-ship squadron scanned them.
They had no time to react or escape, as they were instantly wiped out by the firepower output of Chen Ming's fleet of 300 ships with unlimited ammunition and no cooldown.
And at the same time.
Headquarters of the Fourteenth Army Corps.
Cheng Xinghai, who was lying in a special instrument using simulation equipment, stared blankly at Chen Ming's fleet that seemed to be pouring out ammunition endlessly, and fell into a moment of confusion.
But she reacted immediately, reached out to the terminal next to her, and dialed Bai Quan's number.
"Uncle Bai!"
Bai Quan was also observing the situation on the battlefield through the external interface of the simulation device at this time, and of course he knew why Cheng Xinghai called at this time.
But all he could say was, "I warned you."
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about, he just has this ability."
“…”
"I see."
Cheng Xinghai put down the terminal, and put aside the idea of fighting with Chen Ming, who defeated Cheng Xinghe, so that he could turn around and mock Cheng Xinghe.
Only competitiveness remained in her eyes as she refocused her consciousness on the simulation device.
The decision she made at the beginning was correct. The guerrilla warfare must be fought to the end. Once she was really dragged into a frontal battle by Chen Ming, she would definitely lose miserably.
After Cheng Xinghai made the decision, she completely divided the main fleet that had been lurking behind Chen Ming's fleet into several small fleets.
They were completely dispersed throughout the battlefield, relying on their keen sense of the battlefield to avoid Chen Ming's main fleet and constantly destroying the small spaceships that Chen Ming released to explore the way.
Then……
Every time Cheng Xinghai destroyed one of Chen Ming's three-ship squadrons, one of her own fleets would be completely exposed to Chen Ming's sight, with no way to hide.
This allowed Chen Ming to quickly gather forces and destroy two small fleets roaming outside.
When Cheng Xinghai got here he also noticed something was wrong.
Chen Ming seemed to have the ability to accurately locate, and all interference was useless.
If she continues like this, she will be divided by Chen Ming. The key is that this "division" is made by herself.
So Cheng Xinghai had no choice but to regroup the fleet, and the remaining fleet of about two hundred spaceships stayed where they were and regrouped.
She has now been forced by Chen Ming to have only the option of fighting head-on, and she must face it in the best condition.
This is the situation that Chen Ming wants to see most.
Moreover, his spaceship does not require wartime maintenance and can be kept in optimal condition at all times, but the opponent's spaceship obviously needs time to rest after several battles.
So Chen Ming will not give his opponent a chance to breathe.
He gathered the remaining fleets at his disposal, opened up the battle line, and headed straight towards the direction where the enemy fleet was assembled.
Then Cheng Xinghai experienced what Cheng Xinghe once felt.
The opponent's bullets were endless, and the opponent's shield was like an iron wall. It was difficult to defeat the shield and penetrate the armor by concentrated fire.
If you are not careful, all the results you have just achieved will disappear, which is no different from attacking a new spaceship.
At this time, Cheng Xinghai had already deeply understood why Bai Quan had said before that he should not look for him if he was beaten and cried.
She was almost crying as she looked at the fleet that was recovering in front of her.
Of course, it was impossible to shed tears, and Cheng Xinghai remained calm.
The defense line was set up as soon as Chen Ming's fleet approached, and at the same time, they were able to decisively maintain a stable formation and retreat under the unreasonable pressure of Chen Ming's fleet.
She even took advantage of the gaps created by the details on the battle line to attract Chen Ming's spaceship to press forward directly, and then concentrated its fire.
Relying on this method, several of Chen Ming's spaceships were indeed destroyed on the front battlefield.
And her own losses would be smaller, at least for the time being.
Then Cheng Xinghai saw that the wreckage of the spaceships that had clearly been destroyed by her suddenly merged together, forming new spaceships that appeared on the battlefield.
"you!"
This cheating-like scene made Cheng Xinghai completely unable to maintain his image.
But now she is alone in the room using the simulation equipment, so she doesn't need to maintain it.
Baiquan, who was watching the game, did not stop this from happening. Obviously, this was a normal situation.
At this moment, Cheng Xinghai suddenly imagined the scene where she lost to Chen Ming and was ridiculed by Cheng Xinghe.
So she quickly calmed down in the face of this outrageous situation.
Her fleet has not been completely destroyed, and she still has the possibility of finding an opportunity to turn the tables.
Since Chen Ming chose to take the initiative to attack, there will always be flaws.
At this moment, Chen Ming felt that although he was suppressing the opponent, he inexplicably felt a sense of pressure.
Because the opponent maintained the stability of the entire front line, although it had been retreating, the front line itself was very stable, Chen Ming could only choose to break through the surface with a point.
But all the opportunities for breakthroughs on all fronts turned out to be false and were traps.
If he dared to command the fleet to advance rashly, the same thing would happen just now. His spaceships would be targeted by concentrated fire and destroyed.
If half of the wreckage is destroyed, Chen Ming will not be able to build a new spaceship based on the settings of this simulation.
So much so that he could not find any chance to break through the front line and end the battle.
Moreover, although his live ammunition and missile weapons have unlimited uses, his energy weapons also have no cooling time.
But a weapon with unlimited ammunition must at least be able to hit people.
As the enemy fleet continued to distance themselves, three hundred escort destroyers might seem like a lot, but on a cosmic scale, there was still no way to achieve a sufficient firing density.
Chen Ming's most skilled method was unable to produce the desired effect as the opponent continued to retreat and shrink.
The feeling Chen Ming got was somewhat similar to when he had fought with Cheng Xinghe.
In the same way, he quickly analyzed the shortcomings of Chen Ming's spiritual power, and then cracked them specifically based on the shortcomings.
But compared to Cheng Xinghe who relied on his military spaceship to confront Chen Ming head-on, the opponent he faced this time was more rational and more oppressive.
Yes, it's oppressive.
Chen Ming felt as if all his thoughts on the battlefield had been seen through and ways to crack them had been found in an instant.
All the commanding techniques he had learned would be meaningless if he simply used them directly. He had to think of more flexible ways to apply them.
No matter how strong the output is, it’s all in vain if it can’t hit anyone.
So Chen Ming directly focused his attention on the spaceships in the front row of the battle line, and while trying to break through the battle line, he took the initiative to create some opportunities for his spaceships to be easily targeted.
At the same time, reinforcement spacecraft were arranged on the flanks of the spacecraft that served as breakthrough points, so that as long as they were targeted by concentrated fire, they could find an opportunity to directly counterattack and forcefully attack the front line.
However, the opponent was not fooled.
The bait that Chen Ming proactively set out was not eaten at all.
On many occasions, he would rather have no results than preserve the vitality of his fleet and just drag the enemy out.
The opponent may even pay close attention to the traps set by Chen Ming several times or even dozens of times in a row, without even looking at them, wasting the opportunity for Chen Ming's spacecraft to output.
However, as Chen Ming's fleet began the frontal battle, Chen Ming himself entered the frontal battlefield command mode and gradually became familiar with the actual command techniques.
Gradually, Chen Ming was able to place several prominent baits intentionally or unintentionally at any place along the entire front line.
And her methods of setting baits became more and more sophisticated, and most of the time Chen Ming did not think about setting baits subjectively.
I simply found a place where it was appropriate to do so and there were definitely benefits to doing so, and then I did it.
He could feel he was getting better.
And he also noticed that the opponent's commander gradually began to hesitate.
The opponent is wondering whether these advancing spacecraft are bait.
Cheng Xinghai did feel a little tingling on his scalp at this moment.
She could feel that Chen Ming's conducting skills were very rough at the beginning, and in many aspects there was no difference from that of a beginner.
But during the battle with her, Chen Ming's skills were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the beginning, he could only rush out, or just wanted to rush out, but later on he was able to pull back and forth with her on the overall situation.
It even forced her to think about some details so that she could tell whether certain arrangements were Chen Ming's mistakes or his deliberate arrangements.
And after one of her mistakes led to the instantaneous loss of more than ten spaceships, she had no choice but to give up even if she really saw some opportunities that might not be baits.
But soon, she found another opportunity.
While Chen Ming was dispatching the fleet, all the spaceships around the fleet that he had placed in the center of the battle line as follow-up reinforcements had unknowingly been pushed forward.
This resulted in the reinforcement fleet gradually moving away from the core position and being exposed to the attack range of her fleet.
This must be a bait, but it is also her chance to turn the tables.
Cheng Xinghai knew that her fleet had begun to malfunction frequently after a long period of high-intensity combat, but as for Chen Ming's side, at least she had not seen any malfunctions occur yet.
If she continues, she will be dragged to death by Chen Ming.
So after considering it, Cheng Xinghai made a decision.
Suddenly, the battle line formed by her fleet shrank sharply, and a large distance was opened up at once.
Although this temporarily relieved her of the pressure on the front line, it also meant that her own front line could no longer be maintained.
Chen Ming's fleet also took advantage of the situation and pressed forward, about to end the battle completely.
Just as Chen Ming's fleet was pressing forward, its own battle line began to loosen to a certain extent.
Cheng Xinghai's fleet suddenly regrouped with unpredictable efficiency and attacked the left wing of Chen Ming's front, which was the loosest.
Her fleet forced a breakthrough and rushed towards Chen Ming's reinforcement fleet, which had no time to turn around.
As long as they can take advantage of the situation to kill this reinforcement fleet, the situation on the battlefield will be instantly equalized, and Cheng Xinghai will have more chances to win.
Chen Ming could notice all the spaceships on the entire battlefield, and the reinforcement fleet here was of course a trap.
So when Cheng Xinghai chose to break through here, he immediately ordered the charging fleet in front to change direction so that it could counterattack Cheng Xinghai's fleet from the flank at any time.
But what he didn't expect was that at the moment when Cheng Xinghai was about to attack the reinforcement fleet, the direction of her entire fleet suddenly changed.
The fleet had to fight against the losses suffered by the reinforcement fleet and the rest of Chen Ming's fleet in the flank attacks, and also opened up a new front from the side of the reinforcement fleet to the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.
Chen Ming understood instantly that the opponent's target was him.
He was on the flagship at the rear of the entire fleet.
The opponent pretends to be trapped just to find this opportunity.
As long as the flagship is destroyed, Chen Ming loses.
And Cheng Xinghai did fulfill her idea.
After losing one-third of the remaining fleet, the less than one hundred remaining spaceships circled around the side and rear of Chen Ming's fleet.
Successfully found an opportunity to concentrate fire on Chen Ming's flagship.
On Chen Ming's side, most of the ships were in the front, and the most they could do was temporarily turn the bow, and there was no time to return to defend.
He only had ten frigates and two destroyers for escort, but he had to face the attack of a mixed fleet of nearly a hundred escort destroyers in such a short period of time.
The moment Cheng Xinghai gave the final order to fire.
She finally couldn't hold back her anger at seeing all kinds of operations that were almost indistinguishable from cheating, and shouted in the room what she had always wanted to say to Chen Ming.
"you are done!"
