Chapter 765: Chapter 228 Total Domination_3
The current style of space warfare makes the chances of large ships colliding with each other very small, but it is indeed the most effective method.
After the mother shipâs jump failed, the last remaining single main ship was besieged relentlessly by the six main weapons of Duskâs three main ships, as well as tens of thousands of other Dusk ships, meeting its demise.
Soon, it followed in the footsteps of other Mechanical Race ships.
Meanwhile,
the spectator channel of this simulation battle had already fallen into silence.
Yet just a few minutes ago, when the government forces successfully exploited the Mechanical Raceâs disturbance, the channel was filled with praise.
Even the mentors on Chen Mingâs side were not stingy with their compliments, refraining from criticism despite the opposing side gaining an advantage over their students or behaving unethically.
Winning in a simulated battle was evidently the most important thing.
Chen Mingâs opponent managed to use a main ship, already neutralized by the enemy, as a resource to lure the Mechanical Race into the field. They had also prepared subsequent countermeasures and even executed the first step, showing that this plan was feasible enough.
This plan was therefore successful.
However, when Chen Ming turned around and revealed the more powerful Dusk fleet, the spectator channel instantly went silent.
As a judge, Bai Quan had the judgeâs perspective to observe the whole situation and knew the full picture of the battle. Of course, he also knew about the Alpha-level Dusk core that Chen Ming had set up on the first day.
Chen Ming simply hadnât used it. Bai Quan could see that Chen Mingâs intention was not to use it under normal circumstances, so he never brought it up.
However, others were merely spectators with only viewing privileges, able to observe only alongside participants of the simulation.
So, no one entered to spectate on the first day and didnât notice Chen Mingâs small actions on that day.
Even though they watched Chen Mingâs perspective every day thereafter, they couldnât see what Chen Ming had done on the Dusk side.
Therefore, when the overwhelming Dusk fleet appeared in the blink of an eye, everyone felt an indescribable surprise and shock.
But this surprise was also reasonable, given that theoretically, Chen Ming did have such capabilities. They just hadnât seen it with their own eyes, nor noticed Chen Ming taking any actions regarding Dusk, thus they subconsciously overlooked this point.
Seeing it now in the simulation was, in a way, an indirect affirmation of witnessing Chen Mingâs spiritual energy prowess.
Nonetheless, there were still dissenting opinions.
For instance, Lou Wei, the mentor of Di Jia, who had left earlier but suddenly returned: "Developed to this extent in less than a month?"
Bai Quan naturally detected Lou Weiâs sarcastic tone and explained to the others, "The circumstances and format were different. In reality, he was spotted by Dusk very early on. Initially, he only controlled several Gamma-level cores, so it was impossible to develop so quickly."
"But in this simulation, Chen Ming obtained the Alpha-level Dusk core from the first day, and his presence was never exposed to Dusk. The simulation equipment calculated Chen Mingâs control efficiency over Dusk based on these two points, resulting in such rapid development."
"If you suspect him of cheating, then go ahead and suspect."
"First, doubt whether the equipment is at fault before doubting me."
"Chen Ming is my friend. I can vouch for him that he wouldnât cheat in such a simulation."
"If you want to question him, then question me first."
Seeing the tension grow between the two, others quickly tried to mediate, saying, "We still trust Vice Admiral Bai. Chen Ming is currently at the division, working with Vice Admiral Bai to achieve some accomplishments, so he definitely wouldnât cheat in such trivial matters."
With mediators stepping in, Bai Quan didnât continue to confront Lou Wei.
Lou Wei still wanted to speak, but was promptly stopped by others.
Soon, someone in the spectator channel raised another topic, asking, "Has Chen Ming confirmed his joining?"
"Vice Admiral Bai already said it. Heâs already at the division, assisting with the research on the Purgatory Core. What do you think?"
"Then what about Cheng Xing..."
Bai Quan coughed lightly to interrupt their discussion.
Although he didnât say much, everyone understood Bai Quanâs intention.
Those who had a good relationship with Bai Quan privately envied him.
With Chen Ming, Bai Quanâs status within the Fourteenth Legion would surely stabilize.
Replacing Bai Quanâs former superior to become an influential figure in the Fourteenth Legion seemed inevitable.
At this moment, Song Puâs mentor, Pang Dong, cooperated exceptionally well, saying, "Then letâs continue watching the simulation. However, I feel that since Chen Ming possesses such strength, the simulation is basically over. The strength gap bulldozes to victory."
"Thereâs no need for the subsequent roundup. Setting aside who is encircling whom, as long as Chen Ming states his capabilities and officially joins the Empire in the simulation, all rebellious actions by the rebel army can be directly erased."
A younger mentor, unfamiliar with this background storyâs simulation battle, asked, "Is that even allowed?"
"There isnât just one way to complete the final encirclement."
"So letâs end it sooner and get some rest."
At this moment, Bai Quanâs mentor didnât agree with Pang Dongâs suggestion.
"Letâs wait a bit longer. If we end it now, the few kids from Chen Mingâs opposing side might feel discontented. Without going through defeat, they wonât understand the pain."
