The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 679 Intermission
After a considerable period of back and forth, both sides finally completed their lengthy preparations and stood facing each other in front of their respective defensive lines.

The five mechs stood facing each other across a distance of nearly 500 meters, creating a tense atmosphere.

Still somewhat undecided about the next step, 011 didn't take immediate action. Instead, it directed the mechs to lead the way, with smaller squads arranged in a goose-shaped formation, the two vanguard mechs positioned on the left and right flanks. Putting everything else aside... the atmosphere and momentum on the scene instantly rose.

Of course, the other side was equally formidable. Although they were missing one mech, they had something extra: this half-ruined base tower. While it might seem somewhat shabby and dilapidated on its own, it could still be considered a significant piece in this context of opposing forces.

In addition, although there was a difference in the number of people between the two sides, it wasn't too much of a difference. The small teams occupying their respective camps between the opposing camps actually looked quite convincing.

The two teams stood facing each other, tense and waiting to see how the other would react before responding.

Of course, Jiang Hui was getting increasingly anxious. What was going on?! This group of people was posing endlessly. Hurry up and fight! What are they dragging on for? If they dragged it out any longer, they might attract some other troublemakers, and she wouldn't be able to control the situation.

Although Jiang Hui knew that it was indeed not advisable for either side to act impulsively, given their limited resources, as any action could have far-reaching consequences, their cautious approach was understandable. It was impossible for them to engage in a fierce battle as she described.

However, for her, every second counted. The longer it dragged on, the greater the variables would become, so she naturally had a lot of calculations in mind, hoping to resolve the matter quickly.

Seeing that both sides were starting to do something again, Jiang Hui felt a little helpless.

Oh dear, this is driving me crazy!

"What? Why did he deflate again? He was so passionate just now..." They all thought a fight was about to break out.

A chorus of boos erupted from a corner of the Joint Military Academy's conference hall.

Well, actually it can no longer be considered a corner. After more than twenty days, the teachers who were originally sitting upright in their respective positions have gradually become lax.

The teachers from the different departments, who were originally clearly separated, gradually mingled together. The students from the Mecha Department and the Logistics Department stood together, while the students from the Individual Combat Department and the Pharmacy Department chatted casually. Even the aloof Command Department students were rarely seen among the crowd. If a student happened to walk in at this moment, they would probably be surprised to see those usually aloof teachers engaged in lively discussions. The scene was exceptionally lively, comparable to a vegetable market.

"No way, Xiao Ye, look at the students in your major. They're being completely fooled and don't even realize it. Now they're about to have their entire knowledge copied." A top expert in the field pointed and said, not giving anyone any face.

He was a veteran, a seasoned warrior in his youth. To him, these people were just kids; perhaps their parents had even been saved by his acupuncture. Therefore, while his words were unpleasant to hear, no one dared to contradict him. However, some were less tactful. Seeing the old man's words, they assumed they could speak too, mocking the command department candidates as useless, only to be completely outmaneuvered by Jiang Hui's trickery.

"Is he an ordinary person? And Lieutenant Colonel Gui, why don't you check your own ranking in the professional pool before you speak..." Ye Min glanced at the oblivious guy.

The mechs had only been lost for a short time, and the students hadn't even had a chance to use the new ones they received, let alone repair or modify them. The mech students were still just there to coast along and get points.

This situation allowed Jiang Hui, who could score in all areas, to rise to the top without any pressure. She scored here and there, racking up points here and there. As a single-soldier specialist, she ranked among the top in the mecha major's score pool, almost pushing their second-best prospect out of the competition. Under these circumstances, how could Gui Cheng still have the nerve to laugh at them?

Guicheng was just being sarcastic and didn't realize he'd gotten himself into trouble. He could only mutter "crooked ways" before falling silent in frustration.

Ye Min ignored the short-sighted person and thoughtfully stroked her chin: "That child does seem to have a good commanding talent, but he hasn't figured out his own path yet. Who knows what path he will take in the future? Maybe—" Maybe he will change his mind and choose their major.

"Hey, did you guys even consider the reality when you were discussing this? Those are our individual combat students, when did we say we were going to give them to you?" One of them was already quite annoyed when he heard this.

Ye Min looked over and saw that he was the deputy head lecturer of the individual combat department. He hadn't been there long. He had been delayed outside because of something, and hadn't been sitting down for more than two weeks.

However, the astute man had already discerned from the chaotic scene that the command department officer seemed to have taken a liking to one of the interesting students who had applied to their individual combat department.

He glanced at some clips and immediately concluded—this wouldn't work. Putting aside the fact that the kid did seem quite capable, wasn't he applying for the individual soldier training program? Instead of asking for others' opinions, this bunch of old guys outside were jumping up and down, making decisions for someone else.

As for the other two leaders in the individual combat system, they naturally stood by and watched the show, including the old-fashioned Xu Dinglan. They knew that this man was not someone to be trifled with. In terms of eloquence and temperament, if we disregard qualifications, the two of them combined couldn't match him.

Ye Min had served in the military for many years. Although the military emphasized the hierarchy and the importance of following orders from superiors, veteran soldiers were fearless. Especially when dealing with soldiers who were not affiliated with each other and served different factions, they would argue back if they disagreed with each other.

This female major general, though holding a high rank and possessing considerable seniority, had been challenged by various arrogant and domineering colonels, lieutenant colonels, and even majors. If she got angry every time, wouldn't she seem petty? She didn't actually value military rank much; she only admired capable people. Like the one before her, she had considerable seniority but lacked luck; otherwise, she wouldn't still only be a colonel. Despite being so mercilessly rebuked, Ye Min remained completely unconcerned.

Moreover, there wasn't much conflict of interest between the two, and the other party's blunt rebuttal was probably just part of their job as a teacher in the individual combat department. Ye Min found it quite amusing; she hadn't expected to encounter such an interesting scene on her first teaching assignment.

In the past, she had seen many people fighting for resources, merits, and territory on the battlefield, and there were also people vying for special talents... She had never seen such a scene of fighting for an undeveloped talent. After all, there were countless talents on the real battlefield, and they could be picked up and used at will. There was no real emphasis on patiently cultivating them.
