"These amateur players actually wiped out three makeshift fleets?!"
Although the attack was a surprise, catching the three temporary fleets off guard, it was still quite shocking.
It's important to understand that the Space Force has an advantage in equipment and has received systematic military training, while the players are entirely on their own.
"How were they able to pinpoint the vital points of each warship in the temporary fleet so precisely? Knight William, could you explain this to us?" The Japanese representative turned to William and raised his question.
He didn't believe that a group of players could so easily wipe out several space force-controlled fleets through a surprise attack.
The Japanese representative felt there must be something fishy going on, since the idea of the player fleet was proposed by Wallfacer Feng Taylor, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that SG Company President Knight William was Feng Taylor's unofficial subordinate.
It's possible that SG Company secretly revealed the key parts of the Space Force warship to the players, which allowed those amateur players to successfully launch a surprise attack!
The more the Japanese representative thought about it, the more convinced he became that way.
The German representative shook his head. "There's no need to explain. The players' warships are all assembled by themselves. They are all warship engineers. As for the warships of the Space Force, they can tell which parts of the warship are weak points and which parts are vital just by looking at them."
“Representative of Japan, please, along with certain individuals, refrain from so readily questioning the impartiality of SG Corporation. To ensure impartiality, the data streams are monitored by the cyber forces of each permanent member state,” the Russian representative added.
The Spanish representative looked grim, because he could already picture someone mocking him.
"Feng Taylor, is this where your confidence in those players comes from? Just using such petty tricks won't deal with the Trisolarans, and there's no way you'll have the chance to plant and detonate those nuclear bombs. Sophon isn't blind."
The rotating chairman began, "I must remind you, Spanish representative, that this is a virtual war, and the players have proven through their actions that they do indeed possess creative thinking."
"That's exactly what you wanted to say, isn't it, Mr. Wallfacer?"
The rotating chairman turned his gaze to Lin Feng and smiled. He would respond to the Spanish representative on Lin Feng's behalf, simply to smooth things over between the two.
Lin Feng was at a loss for words. He had been too lazy to pay attention to the Spanish representative, as there were countless people looking to cause him trouble, and he didn't care about adding another Spanish representative.
What do you mean I wanted to say? I didn't want to say any of that!
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and chose to quietly observe the battle, since his core objective was always to deceive ETO.
Representatives from various countries are discussing the future direction of the virtual battlefield.
"The Space Force will soon find out that these players' advantage won't last long."
"But the Space Force lost 30,000 men, while the players' casualties are still only in the hundreds, not even a thousand. Local battles are victories for the Space Force, but in the macro strategy, the players maintain a numerical advantage. They are trading distance and surprise attacks for the Space Force's personnel losses."
"If the Space Force discovers the enemy too late, the player can use their numerical advantage to suppress the Space Force, at which point the Space Force will be in a very passive position."
"Those players who survived the failed battles went to the rear to mine resources and build new warships for other fleets. Strictly speaking, the players did not suffer much loss."
"I feel as if I'm witnessing yet another Pacific battlefield..."
All the delegates turned to look at the two representatives from the United States and Japan, leaving the two speechless for a moment.
"Why are you looking at us? It's not like we're the ones commanding this war!" the two representatives thought to themselves.
"Wait! Look! There's something new happening on the players' side!" someone exclaimed, pointing at the screen.
Some of the players who escaped to the asteroid belt installed thrusters and electromagnetic cannons on meteorites with diameters of over ten kilometers, clearly intending to transform these meteorites into warships for combat.
Good heavens! This hands-on skill is incredible!
Without relying on a dock, they used small spaceships to build warships directly from the local materials, a feat that refreshed the understanding of traditional space warfare among representatives from various countries.
"What's going on with the Space Force? What are our Space Force doing? Why haven't they gone to sabotage the players' production lines yet?"
"They got tangled up, and in a really funny way, you wouldn't want to know."
……
Ten space force fleets are currently in a standoff near Jupiter's orbit with ten extremely large player fleets.
Their total number of warships was more than ten times that of theirs, which made the ten space forces' temporary fleets feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. They engaged in combat with them several times and retreated on several occasions.
However, in reality, there were indeed ten player fleets engaged in combat, but their scale was not as exaggerated as the Space Force had imagined; nine out of the ten warships were fake.
Many of these warships are actually stunt doubles made of steel bars and iron sheets, with their antennas extended so they can be remotely controlled from over ten kilometers away.
But the Space Force doesn't know these things. They are the same size and the same metal, but they are hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart. How can radar distinguish which one is real and which one is fake?
Even if you send out reconnaissance satellites to take pictures from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, you won't see any problems. Even if the distance gets closer, the lasers of the player's fleet are not just for show. They can't let the reconnaissance satellites take pictures randomly. The player's radar is a military product just like that of the space force, and its accuracy is not inferior to that of the space force.
The Space Force mistakenly believed that the player wanted to gather superior forces and eliminate one-tenth of their combat power first. So they planned to turn the tables and use their one-tenth of warships to attract the player's superior forces, allowing other temporary fleets to break through the player's other battle lines.
Finally, they surrounded and annihilated the player fleet that had gathered its superior forces.
One-tenth of the Space Force's combat power was thus ironically pinned down near Jupiter.
Chapter 79 The world is so absurd and laughable
"What? You're still alive?"
"That's a fucking miracle!"
"Damn it! I should have bought a lottery ticket today!"
In the players' public chat channel, the commanders of each player's fleet were astonished.
Because the waaaaa fleet, which they initially thought would be wiped out the fastest, actually managed to wipe out the boss fleet for the first time.
Moreover, they wiped out three fleets in one go!
The Waaaaa fleet is the most insane of all player fleets. Their favorite thing to do is to take down the enemy with them, which is to achieve an extreme one-for-one trade.
To put it more vividly, in the game, other players treat death as nothing more than eating and drinking, but in the eyes of waaaaa fleet players, death is like breathing. They feel uneasy if they don't PK with someone and die a few times a day.
If there's a problem, let others solve it; if I'm willing to die, I'll be the first to step in.
"What kind of talk is that? Shouldn't we be allowed to survive?"
Mangmangmang originally wanted to show off their first kill to these people, but they were quite annoyed by the various criticisms they received.
If it weren't for the fact that we all have a common boss that we haven't defeated yet, Mangmangmang would have already turned his attention to these inhuman guys and started fighting them.
Moonlight Madman rolled his eyes and said, "Everyone in the server knows that other fleets eliminate the enemy and save themselves, but the waaaaa fleet is keen on killing both the enemy and itself. I thought you guys would be wiped out soon, and I even found replacement fleets for you."
"Damn it! If we trade one fleet for one with the AI, we'll lose everything!" Mang Mang Mang exclaimed.
This is exactly what the waaaaa fleet players are thinking. Since the opponent is a military AI, there is not much sense of accomplishment in trading one for one at the limit, so they prioritize their own survival.
If they had known the other side was soldiers, the outcome would have been different.
The pink bunny asked worriedly, "What are you going to do next with your waaaaa fleet? Even the bounce pods have been blown up, and the players can only wear closed outer armor. It's a question of when you'll all die from lack of oxygen. Besides, you don't have much fuel left."
To maintain realism, game participants will die from lack of oxygen in space, which is why they wear exoskeletons; without them, they would immediately die in the virtual universe.
"It's just oxygen, can't we just pick up an oxygen cylinder? We can pick up fuel cylinders too," Mang Mang Mang replied matter-of-factly.
"???"
Mang Mang Mang explained, "Our warships are intentionally designed to explode upon being hit. Many components inside the warship have been effectively preserved, though they will fly around everywhere. Even if they are hit or damaged, the damage will not be severe; they will just be difficult to find among the wreckage..."
Their warships are very special. When the electromagnetic cannons of the Space Force's temporary fleet come into contact with the outside, the sensors detonate the bombs inside, destroying the vulnerable parts of the hull and leaving the entire warship partially intact but broken apart.
This is why those three temporary fleets destroyed the waaaaa fleet so quickly.
"Good heavens, do you guys dare to go any crazier?" The corner of Moonlight Madman's eye twitched slightly.
Mang Mang Mang said, "There are many parts in the wreckage area. If we modify the wreckage of the boss's warship, we can have another batch of warships that can fight. Just wait for our reinforcements."
"Remember to send us the weapon blueprints for the boss fleet. We'll see if we can copy them. It's too difficult to fight with outdated equipment."
The commander of the player's industrial fleet anchored in the asteroid belt added in the channel.
Throughout the solar system battlefield, the player's fleet is being constantly pushed back by the space force. At first glance, it seems like the space force is winning one victory after another. The space force's temporary fleet leaves behind wreckage wherever it goes. The entire solar system seems to have an extra layer of 'cloud'. These clouds are composed of the wreckage fragments of the player's fleet. Under the sunlight, they appear hazy and illusory, as if they are a whole, similar to the principle of Saturn's rings.
In reality, the Space Force suffered heavy losses due to various unexpected tactics employed by the players. By the time the Space Force fleet advanced to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, two-thirds of its personnel had already been eliminated by the players.
Only one-third of the warships remain.
Even at this point, the Space Force was unaware of the players' scheme to deliberately preserve their forces.
There's nothing we can do; the players are just too wicked.
To mislead the space force, the players prepared their own silicone dummies in the warship beforehand. Even when observed by the naked eye from a distance of more than ten meters, they would be mistaken for a charred corpse.
Even on the ground battlefield, it is only during the clearing of the battlefield that it is confirmed whether there are any other living people on the battlefield.
Needless to say, the space battlefield was even more chaotic. The captains of the temporary fleets were busy exchanging greetings with the player fleets across hundreds of thousands of kilometers with electromagnetic cannons, rushing to strategic locations to capture them, and discussing the next strategic tactics. They had no time to salvage a player's corpse to check if it was still alive.
All of this led to a serious misjudgment on the part of the Space Force, who mistakenly believed that although the players were fighting hard against them, they had been wiped out due to their inferior equipment, and that the Space Force was the one with overwhelming numbers.
After all, reality isn't a game. In a game, there's a player list where you can see the number of participants who died, but in reality, there's no such thing as a god-like perspective.
In the asteroid belt campaign, players dealt a heavy blow to the space forces.
The players hiding in the asteroid belt used military-grade electromagnetic cannons copied from the Space Force to wipe out three-tenths of the Space Force's warships in one fell swoop.
The massive losses left the Space Force bewildered and forced them to retreat and regroup.
But the players weren't going to let this opportunity slip by. Having planned this for a long time, they piloted a bunch of warships modified from meteorites and charged toward the space force, constantly bombarding the makeshift fleet.
Meanwhile, players' fleets also include ordinary meteorites mixed in with their fleets. These ordinary meteorites are simply equipped with thrusters and then remotely controlled by antenna towers.
This makes each player fleet appear to be extremely large, visually intimidating the temporary fleets. Much of the artillery fire from the temporary fleets hits the useless meteorites, with the meteorite warships that are actually directly hit making up only a small portion of the entire player fleet.
The Space Force was ultimately deemed a failure by the PDC. Although some warships remained intact, this number was far from enough to destroy the large player base.
The temporary fleet consists of combat warships and lacks significant industrial capabilities. Its onboard production lines are limited to mining meteorite ore to replenish electromagnetic cannon ammunition; it does not possess capabilities such as manufacturing warships.
Watching the live stream, at the very end of the battle, the representatives from various countries in the PDC all felt like they were going crazy, including the German representative who had previously said that the player might win.
He said they would win, but only on the 'possibility'; deep down, he still felt the players' chances of winning were slim, after all, the Space Force consisted of a group of highly skilled military personnel.
"I simply can't believe my eyes! Our space force, built at great expense, can't even beat a bunch of gamers!"
The Cuban representative slapped his forehead, looking as if to say, "How absurd and ridiculous the world is."
After watching this virtual battle, his first thought was to disband the space force and stop them from wasting human resources.
If a group of players can't even win, what makes them think they can fight the Three-Body Problem?
The German representative stated, "Our previous understanding of space warfare was too superficial. Space cannot only contain combat fleets. This virtual war clearly illustrates the shortcomings of our space force, which overemphasized weapons and equipment while neglecting other factors that could influence the outcome of the war."
"Who could have imagined it would turn out like this? In the past, naval engineers didn't have the technical capabilities to sail away an island. But in space, these players can take away meteorites to use as shields, decoys, or warships, and use a bunch of iron sheets and steel bars as camouflage to completely fool the radar of the temporary fleet," the American representative sighed.
He was now terrified. If players could play so dirty, would the future Trisolaran fleet be able to play just as dirty?
They formed a space fleet to deal with the incoming Trisolaran fleet. Even the players with outdated equipment couldn't win, so how could they expect to fight against the incoming Trisolaran fleet?
"The players' victory this time was only a combination of chance and luck. The main reason is that the Space Force's warships were designed specifically for the Trisolaran fleet. Since we don't know what the Trisolaran fleet actually looks like, the designers had to adopt a generalized design. If they had designed it in an extreme way like those players, the military personnel who emphasize unit coordination would have done a better job than the players."
