From the moment life was born in this universe, war has undeniably become the most terrifying form of art, a true Destruction that no one can claim to escape from, and no one can resist the allure of this Destruction!
Because it is also arguably the greatest art in the world!
There is no exception!
At this moment, Lin Yuan quietly focused on the various battle reports transmitted back from the Intellect, as well as the vast amounts of data calculated by the Main Control Center.
Those battle reports were one thing, but the data provided by the Main Control Center was simply too frightening—not because it was particularly shocking, but because it was unimaginably vast. It had even formed towering data structures within Lin Yuan's Intellect!
Or perhaps, they were swirling data vortices, refreshing over a billion times every second!
What a joke; Lin Yuan felt like he was about to collapse!
To be honest, he never considered himself to be particularly foolish; his intelligence was not low. Like any normal person, he understood that intelligence is an abstract concept—just empty talk where no one can truly convince anyone else!
Especially now that Lin Yuan had the assistance of the a180 Punisher System, he felt it wasn't anything extraordinary!
But at this moment, he was genuinely humbled—humbled in every sense of the word!
Even when Claire could still openly exist within his Intellect, he had never seen her go this crazy!
How could he describe it? It was like having your head forcibly split open and then continuously stuffed with all sorts of advanced mathematics, higher geometry, and a jumble of molecular formulas. Function curves—basically, all the most tedious, obscure, and abstract exam questions in the world were being thrown at him, refreshing a hundred billion times per second!
If you think that sounds like a hellish nightmare, it actually gets worse because you also need to forcibly solve them and analyze their relationships. For example, whether Montesquieu and Cao Cao are related or how braids relate to social political studies. The bisector between trigonometric functions and athlete's foot, and so on.
This is how Lin Yuan currently felt; he almost thought Claire was finding new ways to torment and torture him!
Fortunately, Lin Yuan could also multitask; he chose to ignore those rapidly generated data towers and instead focused on the battle situation.
In his view, the changes in the battle situation were far less interesting than the grand fireworks in the starry sky, though he knew this was a rather annoying thought. In fact, at this moment, aside from Lin Yuan, no one else seemed to have the heart to appreciate the dazzling displays of the Main Cannon level performances.
Eighteen Starships from the Seventh Training Base of the a-11 Sub-base were rapidly approaching. The concentrated fire from their Main Cannons relentlessly bombarded the Pirate Alliance's Main Base, with every shot hitting its mark. The energy barrier of the Pirate Alliance's Main Base was visibly diminishing, having already dropped to 85%.
However, the counterattack from the Pirate Alliance was rather lackluster. On one hand, this was due to the slightly inferior shooting skills and trajectory calculation capabilities of the Ninth Training Base's top sharpshooters. On the other hand, they were targeting moving targets!
These weren't simple moving targets traveling at hundreds or thousands of kilometers per hour; they were moving at a staggering speed of one hundred thousand kilometers per minute.
In such circumstances, only those with top-tier sharpshooters and elite calculation teams stood a chance of successfully hitting their targets.
Thus, after tentatively firing a round of Main Cannon shots, the Pirate Alliance had already issued orders to temporarily cease fire. After all, Starship-level Main Cannon strikes were limited in number and could not be wasted at this critical moment.
However, this did not mean that the Ninth Training Base was left without means to retaliate.
"Latest battle report: The enemy fleet has formed a U-shaped Hexagonal Array and is rapidly approaching within fifty thousand kilometers. Our Radar has locked onto all enemy Battleships. As of now, eighteen enemy Starships are about to exhaust their respective Main Cannon firing counts. All squadrons, pay attention! All Main Cannon design teams, focus on locking onto enemy ships k-1, k-2, k-3, and k-4. When they approach within one hundred thousand kilometers, launch a concentrated fire attack to ensure we take them down in one strike!"
...
"All combat units of squadron d-11, I am Commander L. Aside from all Main Cannon units, prepare for action. It's time for those damned guys to witness the might of our Ninth Training Base. Listen up! Their Starships will lose tactical effectiveness once they come within fifty thousand kilometers. From then on, they can only rely on fighter clusters and assault groups to breach our Main Base. This will be our best opportunity to strike while they're down; if we hit them hard now, victory will surely belong to us!"
...
In an instant, the tense atmosphere escalated rapidly because what lay ahead would be the most intense and crucial part of the entire battle.
The Main Cannons of Starships could not target anything within fifty thousand kilometers; this was a rule set for the Year-End Assessment. Therefore, from fifty thousand kilometers out to the Main Base that Lin Yuan and his team were guarding represented a process akin to an amphibious landing. Whether they could deliver a decisive blow at this moment was critical.
Although Lin Yuan did not have the opportunity to operate a Main Cannon, he felt quite anxious as he intently focused on the unfolding battle situation ahead.
As expected, when they approached the Main Base at a distance of one hundred thousand kilometers, the enemy's Main Cannon also came to a halt, reaching its attack limit. At this moment, the mission of the eighteen Starships transformed into delivering all the Target Students from the Seventh Training Base to the position of Fifty Thousand Kilometers. Of course, in a real battlefield, things wouldn't be so rigid, but that was the rule for the Year-End Assessment! Relying too heavily on powerful equipment and weapons would fail to reflect the true significance of the evaluation.
"Steady! Steady! Lock on the target, wait for the countdown, prepare to concentrate fire! Steady! Steady! Lock on the target, wait for the countdown, prepare to concentrate fire!" The commander's booming voice echoed as Lin Yuan suddenly received a warning from the Main Control Center.
"Beep! Severe warning: The enemy is about to use Tactical Jump. The jump point is being calculated..."
"Shit!"
Lin Yuan felt a cold sweat break out. Although he didn't fully understand Tactical Analysis and was hearing the term Tactical Jump for the first time, he knew that while everyone on their side was anticipating a concentrated fire to take down four enemy Battleships, this Tactical Jump would undoubtedly cause their round of concentrated fire from the Ninth Training Base to miss!
If they attempted another concentrated fire, it would be impossible; after all, charging an attack of Main Cannon caliber was enough to drive anyone crazy!
But Lin Yuan couldn't believe that the Tactical Analysis team from the Ninth Training Base hadn't figured this out.
He absolutely trusted the Main Control Center or Claire, but at this moment, speaking up would be useless. Without knowing the enemy's specific jump point, even if he brought it up, it wouldn't matter; moreover, no one would believe him!
At that moment, countless data towers within Lin Yuan's Intellect that had been continuously growing suddenly collapsed, transforming into an ocean of data.
This collapse didn't feel like watching waves on the sea; it was his Intellect—there was no way to ignore it. The collapsing data swirled around him like countless Black Pieces of sunlight or cosmic turbulence, nearly causing his system to crash and even affecting his very soul. These data were equivalent to countless memories—some of them obscure and deeply complex. Imagine if a normal person suddenly thought they were someone like Sister Fu Rong or even Sister Feng; wouldn’t that drive them insane? Now imagine having ten thousand or a million thoughts like Sister Feng’s—wouldn't that create utter chaos?
That Lin Yuan could struggle to maintain his sense of self amidst this data turbulence was already quite an achievement!
"Damn it, Main Control Center! Claire! What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?"
"Shh, sir, keep your voice down. I just overstepped a bit and nearly touched the power of the rules here, so I can't calculate the opponent's jump point for you. That would be almost like cheating. If I get targeted by that power of the rules, the consequences would be dire. However, there are still other options. You can calculate the jump points yourself now. I've already stored all the data in your Intellect. This way, even if that power of the rules is suspicious, it won't detect my presence. Don't worry, sir, good luck!"
Claire's voice flickered past, but Lin Yuan couldn't help but spit out blood again. What kind of joke was this?
Letting him calculate the jump points? Are you kidding me? The countdown for concentrated fire had already passed ten seconds!
Just as Lin Yuan was about to complain, he suddenly noticed that the chaotic data stream in his Intellect began to rapidly return to order, ultimately consolidating into one thousand nine hundred eighty-eight data towers. Each data tower resembled a massive bottomless vortex, incredibly mysterious, seemingly capable of devouring everything in the universe.
At this moment, Lin Yuan felt a little better, but it was only slightly better because facing these colossal data towers made him feel like an illiterate; all he could do was stare blankly.
"Well, whatever. This isn't my war alone. The Ninth Training Base has been brutally defeated before; it's not the first time."
Lin Yuan comforted himself and decisively abandoned the idea of calculating the jump points. With that mindset, he might as well prepare for battle immediately because once the opponent initiated a Tactical Jump, they could very likely launch a close-range assault right after.
"Wait? An assault!"
At that moment, a lightning bolt of inspiration struck Lin Yuan's mind. That's right! He was such an idiot! A complete fool! Claire had already given him the most basic answer, and he almost missed it!
In this heavily restricted camp battle, having already determined that the opponent was about to initiate a Tactical Jump was a significant gain in itself. As for where the specific jump point was located—was there really any need to dwell on it? (To be continued...)
