Chapter 52: Hyper Lock-on (2/2)
Since his childhood, Wang Tong was not a playful person, not to forget that he had also spent a rough year on Norton. He knew well that life was not a game, and this line of work had to be taken seriously. He had to master everything to pilot a Battlecraft if he really wished to join the troops. As a student of the Command Force, one had to be able to do so, regardless if you were interested in becoming a Crew Captain or not.
Wang Tong has had enough theories so he wouldn’t waste any rare opportunities for practical simulations.
Soon, students began to leave as the bell rung. After all, virtual simulations were not as addictive if they were curricular-arranged; and Space Battle training wasn’t like video games, it might be interesting during the class, but students definitely lose interest in it after class. Eventually, they would be submerging into the happiness of virtual games as soon as they reached home.
“Wang Tong, you are not going back?”
“It’s okay, you can go first. I’m staying back for a little longer since it’s a rare chance to practice more,” Wang Tong replied without even looking back. He was busy implementing his theories into the simulator, ha was enjoying the moment, just like how he enjoyed the rush of adrenaline every time he defeated a new species of Zergs. Nevertheless, the blood in his body was the blood of a warrior.
Ma Xiaoru was mesmerized by Wang Tong’s attentiveness. A strange feeling emerged as she looked at how focused he was, she never felt like this before. After that, she left the practice room in silence on her own, knowing that Wang Tong wouldn’t want to be disturbed.
Ma Xiaoru actually was the type of person that would act like she didn’t care when she saw the guy that got her attention, yet Wang Tong was the first guy to treat her like a normal person, and she appreciated this comfortableness very much. For the first time, she was happy to spend time with someone of an opposite gender.
On the other hand, Wang Tong’s face was full of different expressions. He was busy applying his own thoughts onto the theories he had learned from the books, even though some things were set to be done according to the rules. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to try out a few changes, and even if it were a failure, Wang Tong would put in every effort to find out why. Two hours had passed, and yet, Wang Tong had no intention to leave, he wasn’t even hungry after skipping dinner, and of course, he had also forgotten his night shift as the Caretaker. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure entered the practice room without him noticing.
The monitor was showing a simulation which was preset to the toughest scenario: the army of mankind was surrounded by Zergs Space Hives, and Zergs’ β - WH type Bio-Cannon was charged and locked on to the Space Battlecraft. The Battlecraft was stuck in a helpless situation, even if the Battlecraft were to open fire, it would only be able to destroy a few Hives.
Zhou Sisi came in to have a little practice on her own. Her operating skills needed to be improved, but she definitely had what it takes to be a tactician. It was a hopeless scenario. So, instead of wasting her time watching, she decided to proceed with her own practices.
But to her surprise, the “OVER” sign did not appear on the monitor. The Battlecraft fired every single Energy Ray Cannon at the same time in a flash; meanwhile, Sisi was able to hear the machinery roaring in the control room.
“BOOOMMM!”
Hundreds of cannons fully locked onto every target within seconds!
All of a sudden, the Space Hives were bombarded into a sea of flames. Zhou Sisi couldn’t believe what she had witnessed. That... that was impossible!
Things like this required tens of men to achieve, but there was only one person in the control room, this was absurd!
“No way...” murmured Sisi as the word “PERFECT” appeared. What happened was flawless indeed.
Who on earth was sitting in the control room?
