Chapter 293 I won’t pursue what happened today, but this won’t happen again!
"My name is Brent, Master Pioneer!" Another recruit was also a little nervous. He stood straight with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Sterkar glanced at them, was silent for a few seconds, and then said calmly: “I don’t care what differences you have. On the training ground, all disputes can only be resolved through legitimate means.
This is a simulation of a battlefield, not your private fighting arena.
Understand? "
The two recruits nodded immediately and said in unison: "Understood, Master Pioneer!"
Stekar narrowed his eyes and said, “Okay, I won’t pursue what happened today, but I won’t do it again next time.
If something like this happens again, Leo will deal with you personally, understand?"
Leo chuckled at the side: "That's right, it won't be so easy next time!"
The two recruits nodded again, then were waved away by Leo.
The surrounding soldiers quickly resumed normal training order, as if the dispute had never happened.
Sterkar looked at their departing backs, turned to Leo and said, “Discipline on the training ground must be strict, this is the bottom line of the battle.
You have to pay attention to yourself too!"
"Yes, yes, I will strengthen supervision, Lord Pioneer!" Leo answered seriously.
"Okay, then you continue with your work. I'll go check out the progress on Elena's side!" Stekar nodded, then turned and left the training ground.
On the way to the research base, Sterkar's communicator suddenly rang.
Tomoko's voice then rang in her ears: "Master Pioneer, there are some new developments in Elena's research team. Do you want to go over now?"
Sterkar paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, I was just planning to go take a look.
Any concrete progress?"
"They have made some breakthroughs in the testing of weapon systems. The accuracy of plasma missiles has increased by 12%, and they have developed a new type of antimatter warhead with considerable power!"
When Sterkar heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yes, this news is very timely.
I'll be right there!"
Soon, Sterkar arrived at the gate of the scientific research base. When the guard at the gate saw him, he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Master Pioneer!"
Stekar waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite, and then walked straight into the scientific research base.
In the corridor, Elena was discussing something with several researchers. When she saw Stekar coming, she immediately stopped what she was doing and came to greet him.
"Master Pioneer, you've come at the right time. We have just completed an important test!" Elena pushed her glasses and a rare smile appeared on her face.
"Oh? Tell me about it!" Stekar smiled.
Elena opened the data pad in her hand, pointed to the data on it and said: "We have made significant improvements in the accuracy of plasma missiles, and now we can accurately hit targets 50 light years away.
At the same time, there has been a breakthrough in the research and development of antimatter warheads, which are equivalent to 80% of the most advanced destructive weapons of the current Terra civilization! "
"Eighty percent?" Sterkar raised his eyebrows, a satisfied look on his face: "Not bad, it seems that you are very efficient!"
Elena smiled faintly: “This is the result of teamwork, all researchers are working hard.
Next, we plan to test the actual combat effectiveness of these new weapons on a simulated battlefield!"
Sterkar nodded: "Very good, actual combat testing is very important, all data must be based on the battlefield.
When are you going to start?"
Elena thought for a moment, then replied, "We have arranged a practice test, and it can be conducted this afternoon!"
"Okay, I'll go and watch the test myself!" Stekar said with a hint of anticipation, "I hope to see satisfactory results!"
The live broadcast room's bullet screen became active again:
[Oh my god, an antimatter warhead? How powerful is this! ]
[Stekar's technology tree has finally made a breakthrough! This time he will definitely be able to severely suppress the Terra civilization! ]
[The Terra civilization's most powerful destructive weapon is almost here. This is simply incredible! ]
[But don't be too happy too soon, 80% of the power is not enough, the Terra civilization is blessed by the power of the Emperor! ]
[Hey, don't worry about it. This is already a big improvement! I look forward to the next test! ]
[Sure enough, the dungeon designer, Blue Star 009, is really a genius. The growth rhythm of this technology tree is too exciting! ]
Stekar nodded slightly and looked at the busy scene in the scientific research base.
The scientific research team led by Elena is making final preparations in full swing, and the atmosphere of the simulation test is tense yet orderly.
In the center of the experimental site, several huge and complex devices were running, and various blue lights were flashing continuously.
"Elena!" Stekar spoke slowly, his voice low but with unquestionable majesty: "Since you are almost ready, let's not delay any longer and start testing immediately. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of effect these new technologies can produce!"
Elena nodded and immediately turned to her team and ordered: "Prepare to start the test! Lock the target, check the system, and make sure everything is running normally!"
After hearing this, the researchers quickly began to work at their respective workstations. Complex numbers and parameters kept jumping on the screens of several supercomputers.
The energy reaction tower on the field began to emit a slight humming sound, as if the entire room was shaking slightly with the vibration of this energy.
Stekar stood aside, watching all this quietly, with his hands behind his back and a sharp look in his eyes.
Elena looked at the data on the console from time to time to confirm that everything was going well.
After a few minutes, a researcher finally looked up and said in a slightly excited voice: "Director Elena, the system is ready! We can start the simulation test!"
Elena nodded slightly, then turned to Sterkar: "Master Pioneer, everything is ready, you can give the order to start!"
There was a flash of excitement in Sterkar's eyes, but his expression remained calm: "Okay, let's get started!"
Elena turned around and waved: "Start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge energy reaction device in the center of the entire experimental site began to rotate rapidly. Then, a bright blue beam shot out from the middle of the device and rushed straight towards the virtually projected target battleship model.
At the same time, the antimatter warhead was fired. The warhead, flashing with a faint blue light, drew a dazzling arc in the air and hit the target accurately.
"boom-!"
A dull explosion sounded, and the entire venue was instantly enveloped by dazzling light. After the light dissipated, the target warship model had been completely destroyed, and the warship structure diagram displayed on the projection screen instantly turned into wreckage data.
The researchers cheered immediately, and Elena breathed a sigh of relief, with a rare hint of excitement in her eyes.
She immediately looked at the data report on the console: "The target was successfully destroyed, with an accuracy of 99%. The power... Well, the power of the antimatter warhead has achieved the expected effect, which is about 80% of the destructive weapons of the Terra civilization.
This is already a very good result!"
Sterkar nodded, his eyes flickering slightly: "Yes, this power is enough to deal with ordinary enemies.
However, facing the main battleships of the Terra civilization, we still need more improvements!"
Elena looked up at Sterkar and said solemnly, "Master Pioneer, I understand. We will continue to work hard to further improve the power and stability of the weapon in the shortest possible time!"
“Well, let’s continue to optimize.
Also, how about the plasma missile test?" Sterkar was obviously looking forward to the next test.
Elena quickly turned around and instructed the researchers: "Prepare for the next round of testing, activate the plasma missile launch system, and lock the target!"
Following Elena's instructions, the researchers became busy again. The lights on several operating tables suddenly became brighter, the plasma missile system was activated, and blue spots of light flickered on the screen.
"Ready!" a researcher reported loudly.
"Fire!" Elena ordered in a deep voice.
With a low roar, a plasma missile shot out from the launcher, cutting through the void at an extremely fast speed and heading straight for the target battleship model.
The missile splits into several small warheads in mid-air and simultaneously delivers precise strikes to multiple targets.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!”
Explosions continued, and the virtual target warship was instantly split into countless pieces. The data on the projection screen began to decrease rapidly, showing the precise strike effect of the missile.
"The missile accuracy has increased to 97%, and all targets have been hit!" a researcher reported excitedly.
Elena nodded with satisfaction: "The performance of the plasma missile this time exceeded expectations. Both its accuracy and power have been significantly improved!"
Sterkar walked forward and looked at the data on the screen carefully, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes: "The missile's accuracy is very good, but in actual combat, the enemy's defense system will not allow us to hit it so easily.
Have you ever considered the anti-missile defense system of the enemy ship? In the world of Warhammer 40K, the warships of the Terra civilization are equipped with extremely advanced anti-missile systems! "
Elena was slightly stunned, then thought seriously for a moment and replied: "Indeed, the anti-missile system of the Terra civilization is very advanced, especially on their flagship battleships, our missiles may be easily intercepted.
However, we can increase the chance of hitting by adding camouflage technology or increasing the number of warheads!"
"Disguise technology?" Sterkar's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very interested in this idea: "Be more specific!"
Elena paused, then explained: "We can add a special energy shielding device to the missile to make it show an extremely low energy response on the radar and scanning system, which is equivalent to making it difficult for the enemy's detection system to detect it.
At the same time, the missile's split small warheads will attack at different angles simultaneously, further dispersing the enemy's defensive firepower!"
Sterkar nodded, obviously approving of this plan: "Very good, this idea can be further studied.
The defense system of Terra civilization is indeed powerful, we must do everything we can to break their defenses!"
"We will conduct research in this area as soon as possible!" Elena responded immediately: "However, it may take some time to perfect the shielding technology. After all, it involves very complex energetics and materials science!"
"Time is not a problem. The most important thing is the result!" Sterkar said firmly, "Do your best. I hope we can have enough advantages in the confrontation with Terra civilization!"
Elena nodded, with a hint of determination on her face: “I understand, we will do our best!”
At this moment, Sterkar's communicator rang again, and Sophon's voice rang in his ears: "Master Pioneer, Xavier has completed the reconnaissance mission, and he has discovered some patrol ship activities of the Terra civilization!"
Sterkar frowned slightly: "Patrol ship? What are their movements?"
"They seem to be surveying the nearby star field and don't seem to have noticed us, but Xavier believes that this may be a routine action of the Terra civilization in the border area, and the purpose is still unclear!"
Sterkar hesitated for a moment, then ordered: "Let Savile continue to observe and don't act rashly.
But if necessary, be ready to evacuate to avoid detection!"
"Understood, Master Pioneer!" Tomoko's voice disappeared, and the communicator fell silent.
The barrage in the live broadcast room emerged again:
[A patrol ship of the Terran civilization? Isn't this a warning? ]
[Why do I feel like the Terra Civilization is warning Stekar not to mess around? ]
[Not necessarily, maybe just a routine patrol? But this kind of coincidence makes me a little worried]
[Stekar, be careful! The Terran civilization is ruled by the Emperor, so don't take it lightly! ]
[Hahaha, this is the beauty of the designer of Azure Star No. 009, he always creates a sense of tension for you! ]
[Don't worry, Sterkar will definitely be able to handle it. He is a man who has completed countless difficult dungeons! ]
Sterkar was silent for a moment, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Elena: "The scientific research will continue to move forward, I have to go back to deal with some intelligence issues.
If there is any new development, please inform me immediately!"
"Okay, Master Pioneer!" Elena nodded, then turned around and continued to direct the scientific research team to conduct the next round of testing and research.
With a solemn expression, Stekar left the research base.
After Stekar stepped out of the scientific research base, the air outside was a little dull, and the surrounding sky was gray, with a sense of impending tension.
In the distance, mechanized factories are still busy, huge cranes on construction sites are running non-stop, and the entire planet is working hard to improve its combat effectiveness.
However, Sterkar knew that all this was far from enough, especially when facing a behemoth like the Terra civilization.
He walked slowly towards the command center, his mind constantly thinking about the information he had just received.
The patrol ships of the Terra civilization are operating at the border. It seems to be just a routine patrol, but what is hidden behind it makes people suspicious.
The Terra civilization would not appear in the marginal area of the Raider planet for no reason.
"Tomoko, contact Xavier and ask him to report the situation in detail!" Stekar walked and turned on the communication.
