Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 659 - 201: Simulation Test 2

"Just keep her spaceship permanently in your sight, forget everything else, I’ll give you access..."

"Alright."

Chen Ming agreed with Bai Quan’s proposal.

He quickly locked down the positions of these thirty ships through the temporary settings Bai Quan altered.

After this small fleet departed, the three ships Chen Ming had previously lost reconvened, moving directly towards the enemy fleet’s previous course, attempting to investigate.

Subsequently, Chen Ming calculated the fleet’s speed, and dispatched fifteen ships to each flank of his fleet to continue searching for signs of the enemy fleet.

The nine small fleets he sent out previously, aside from two that continued forward,

the other seven gradually looped towards the direction of the enemy’s small-scale fleet.

Although their signal jamming techniques were quite adept, had Chen Ming used standard communication equipment, he might have been deceived.

But under such circumstances, the enemy couldn’t completely rely on signal jamming tactics that may or may not be effective.

This suddenly emerged small fleet was likely a bait intentionally put out by the enemy.

Having considered this, Chen Ming chose to step directly into the trap.

This should be the most effective way to make contact with the enemy fleet.

As he expected, on the way to the enemy’s small fleet, one of Chen Ming’s three-ship teams was intercepted by another thirty-ship fleet.

Repeatedly, a thirty-ship fleet eliminated two of Chen Ming’s ship teams using the same tactics.

Facing such actions, Chen Ming indeed lacked reliable counter-attacks.

However, he marked their ships as well.

Now, positions of sixty ships were apparent in his view.

Along with the ships he had sent out, one-third of the simulated battlefield’s range could no longer conceal the enemy’s main fleet traces.

It wouldn’t take long for Chen Ming to completely expose the enemy’s location, forcing the situation into his desired position.

Shortly, another thirty-ship fleet was discovered by Chen Ming.

Out of a total three hundred ships, one hundred twenty in four fleets were wandering outside, clearly intending to harry until the end.

However, the enemy had no clue about his location, since no one would think Chen Ming’s main ship had remained completely still since the start.

The opposing fleet kept roaming everywhere, not only searching for Chen Ming’s main ship but also seemingly to avoid giving Chen Ming any opportunity to drag this simulation into a direct battlefield.

The adversary aimed to gradually disassemble him by spreading multiple fleets.

Chen Ming observed for a moment, then chose to mobilize the main ship to surround one of the small, isolated fleets.

Despite the opponent’s small fleets’ continuous appearances and attacks affecting Chen Ming’s search progress, which resulted in several three-ship teams obtaining complex and redundant information,

If he truly wanted to consolidate and organize this information, it would definitely make his head spin, entirely confused about the enemy fleet’s whereabouts, ultimately falling into a passive situation.

Yet with the assistance of Spiritual Energy, Chen Ming now had the equivalent of x-ray vision.

He had even roughly deduced the movement trajectory of the enemy fleet.

As his first target, this fleet would soon, in its interference with Chen Ming’s reconnaissance fleets, find itself isolated.

This was the opportunity he needed to seize.

In less than five minutes, unbeknownst to them, the enemy’s fleet was already surrounded by Chen Ming’s main ship.

And when the enemy’s scanner detected Chen Ming’s fleet, it was just like how Chen Ming’s three-ship team detected them.

Before they could react or escape, they were wiped out at lightning speed by the relentless firepower of Chen Ming’s three hundred-ship fleet.

Meanwhile,

At the Fourteenth Legion’s headquarters,

Cheng Xinghai lay within a specialized simulator machine, staring blankly at Chen Ming’s seemingly endless salvo of ammunition, momentarily bewildered.

However, she quickly came to her senses, instantly reaching for the terminal beside her, dialing Bai Quan’s number.

"Uncle Bai!"

Bai Quan, who was also observing the battlefield through the simulator’s interface, of course, understood why Cheng Xinghai called at this moment.

But he could only say, "I warned you."

"But..."

"No buts, he genuinely has this ability."

"..."

"I understand."

Cheng Xinghai put down the terminal, abandoning the previous thought of challenging Chen Ming to mock Cheng Xinghe afterward.

Her eyes now showed only determination, refocusing her consciousness into the simulation device.

Her initial strategy was correct. Guerrilla tactics must be employed to the end; if she were truly dragged into direct combat by Chen Ming, the defeat would be devastating.

After Cheng Xinghai made her decision, she completely divided the main ship, which had secretly infiltrated behind Chen Ming’s fleet, into several small fleets.

Thoroughly dispersing across the entire battlefield, relying on keen senses to avoid Chen Ming’s main ship, continuously taking out the small reconnaissance ships Chen Ming deployed.

And then...

That was it—no more.

For every three-ship team of Chen Ming’s she took out, one of her fleets would be entirely exposed in Chen Ming’s vision, unable to hide.
