Chapter 17 Main Text Episode 3 Cannon Fodder Battleship Chapter 1 Self-propelled Gunship

"Everyone, now we will conduct the second round of testing. This test will select 20,000 finalists." Listening to the sound of the floating aircraft, Tang Long began to mutter again: "Why is it so annoying? It's enough to pick out 10,000 people at one time. Why do you have to pick out three times? I'm so full and have nothing to do." , and hopefully this time it won't lie in bed for another week." The second lieutenant beside Tang Long couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Tang Long muttering to himself, but this time no one went to denounce him.Not to mention that Tang Long was their boss, but with Tang Long's perverted style of play, they all had lingering fears and prayed that they would not encounter Tang Long in the next test.

This time in the Second Lieutenant Boss Contest of the Terrible Military Region, although Tang Long won the title of Boss, not many people really called him Boss.However, Tang Long's other nickname was spread throughout the military region under the propaganda of those unsuccessful second lieutenants, and that nickname was - cold-faced hooligan. This "cold face" refers to Tang Long's expression most of the time, and "rogue" refers to Tang Long's swearing and naughty fighting methods.As for Tang Long himself, he didn't hear any rumors at all. When he was discharged from the hospital and came to the base, everyone he saw would pay attention to him, making him happy that he had really become the boss.

The large hall that was originally full of people is now half empty. The second lieutenants who entered the second round of tests were all nervously looking at the aircraft in the sky, wondering what kind of test would be next? The aircraft didn't keep the lieutenants waiting long, and the voice echoed throughout the hall again—"This test is... a CS game." As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent, and everyone was wondering if they had heard it wrong. Doesn't CS refer to the police shooting game?The dignified second lieutenant of the Federal Army gathered together to play CS?

The aircraft ignored the second lieutenants who were stunned below, and said, "These are your equipment. Anyone who shoots and kills three people will be shortlisted, and the time is still five hours." As before, he slid into the wall and disappeared. . At this time, everyone noticed that dozens of huge platforms appeared in the middle of the hall, on which tens of thousands of virtual helmets and electronic gloves were placed. While everyone was still in a daze, a figure quickly got out of the crowd, ran to the nearest platform, grabbed the helmet and gloves and put it on.Then a very familiar voice spread throughout the hall: "Where's the gun? Where's the AK? How can you kill without a weapon!"

Seeing that person constantly flipping his hands and touching his body, the second lieutenants immediately understood that the person who took the first place was that idiot boss——Tang Long!It was only then that he came to his senses, and rushed towards the platform with a hula. Tang Long was so frightened that he jumped far away, otherwise he would have been trampled to death by these people. He is now cursing the female officer whom he has never met!If he had a weapon now, let alone an AK, even a pistol would have killed several people and be shortlisted.Now we have to wait for them to put on their helmet gloves and enter the game together.

After all the second lieutenants put them on, a computer-synthesized voice came from the air: "The preparations are complete, the game begins." Qina just smiled, and was suddenly dumbfounded, because she saw Tang Long twisting his butt there.Busily looked at the screen just now, but only saw Tang Long raised his hands high on the city wall, his buttocks twisting around, and couldn't see the use of it at all, so she couldn't help but asked a little puzzled: "Uh, sir, he What's the point of the action?" Linasha was also stunned when she saw Tang Long's dancing movements, and said after a long time, "This... this may be his... habitual movement."

Tang Long, who didn't know that he was being observed all the time, was dancing and celebrating that he had climbed the mouth of the well. "Haha, do you want to trap me to death like this? It's so hard, eat my stinky fart!" Tang Long, who was slapping his ass at the bottom of the well below, suddenly lay on the city wall. Swallowing and said: "It's great, there are so many enemies, it seems that I can show off the majesty of a sharpshooter!" As he said, he moved his hand back, and when he came back, he was already carrying a sniper rifle. "Hey hey, I'm coming!" The smirking Tang Long used the scope to lock on a second lieutenant hiding in a corner holding a pistol in the distance. When the trigger was pulled, there was a puff, and a small hole appeared in the second lieutenant's forehead. Just fell down.

Tang Long curled his lips: "Is there a mistake, I can't get a headshot? It's useless for me to aim at the center of the eyebrows." Tang Long, who was just about to find his next target, suddenly heard the sound of B, and then the word 1 appeared on his head.Tang Long froze for a moment, scratched his head and said to himself: "This doesn't mean the number of enemies I shot, does it? So there are two more and I'm shortlisted?" When Tang Long talked to himself, he suddenly showed a weird smile. He pointed his gun at the people in the distance and fired continuously. After a while, he even ran out of spare bullets, and the sniper rifle disappeared without a trace. The number on the top of the dragon's head has changed to 30.

Seeing that number, Tang Long grinned, picked up the AK, jumped off the wall, and rushed towards the place with the most crowds without dodging. "Sir, what does these tests have to do with our selection? They don't want to fight, but..." Qina, who looked away from the screen and looked at Linasha, asked puzzled. She was interrupted by Linasha before she finished speaking: "Hehe, these tests are very useful. Although the first test is to test their physical strength, the most important thing is to select soldiers who are passionate and willing to fight. And now this test, in addition to selecting bloodthirsty people among them, also tests their wit, bravery and flexibility. As for the third test, well, I think it is probably similar to the above."

Qina couldn't help being stunned: "Sir, you don't know what the third test is for?" Linasha shook her head: "It can't be helped, because the last test was handed over to the central computer for the brain wave test. As for why the central computer was dispatched, I don't even know." Upon hearing this, Qina could only nod helplessly.Although it is strange that the central computer is required for this mission, but this is a matter of the Supreme Command, not to mention myself as a major, and even a person like the officer cannot know.Although I don't know if the officer really doesn't know, but since the officer said so, I don't want to ask any more.

Tang Long laughed and rushed towards the crowd. The AK in his hand sparked at the same time. Looking at the numbers above his head, he was even more excited. After the AK was used up, he immediately shot with a pistol in one hand and a grenade in the other. throw away the enemy. Those second lieutenants who were beaten and hid in the corner knew that it was that idiot boss again when they heard Tang Long's laughter. "Damn it! We've already been shortlisted, what's the point of coming to kill us!" The second lieutenants thought in unison, and at the same time they held their guns and grenades in a tacit understanding. "Oh, damn it, it's gone again." Tang Long cursed dejectedly, looking at the disappearing pistol and the grenade that could no longer be touched. The second lieutenants have been waiting for this opportunity!The grenade bullets, accompanied by the sound of cursing, poured down on Tang Long who was annoyed like rain. The loudest sound since the start of the game spread throughout the hall. After the explosion, the second lieutenants who had been fighting each other suddenly friendlyly carried AKs together, and crazily shot at the place where Tang Long fell, making those around who didn't know What happened to the second lieutenants all stared blankly at the nearly a hundred crazy second lieutenants shooting at the floor where there was nothing. And what about Tang Long, who had taken off his helmet a long time ago? He is now lying on the ground, with his helmet on his pillow, his legs crossed, and he is enjoying the sight of nearly a hundred second lieutenants surrounded by him with his whole body shaking, with his hands in the pose of holding a gun, and that pair of gnashing teeth and flaming eyes. demeanor. Tang Long, who was humming a song, realized that the aircraft had come out. He quickly jumped up, stood at attention, and his face returned to a cold and serious expression. As soon as he stood up, the aircraft said: "It's time, line up." With this voice, those illusory scenes disappeared immediately. The second lieutenants who were still shooting desperately were stunned, they hadn't reacted yet.But after all, they are well-trained talents, and they immediately arranged their formation quickly.However, there was no one in front of, beside or behind Tang Long, making him stand alone in the front row. Although Tang Long discovered this, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, he felt good that this was the position that the boss should have.Don't you see that his chest is straighter and his waist is straighter? A voice came from the aircraft: "This time, because a certain officer killed too many enemies, the number of finalists has been reduced. Therefore, those who have reached the target number this time and survived at the end of the game are all counted as shortlisted." Hearing the opening sentence, everyone looked at Tang Long who was standing in the front row. Seeing that Tang Long turned his head and blinked his eyes, they couldn't help but roll their eyes and curl their lips, muttering in their hearts: "Fortunately, you don't have to be this character. The subordinate of the vicious guy, otherwise I am afraid that I will go crazy in a few days." After the aircraft finished speaking, countless fist-sized aircraft poured out from the wall. These aircraft began to select those eliminated personnel from the crowd. After a while, these unselected second lieutenants left the base with disappointment. The large hall became even more spacious, and 20,000 second lieutenants quietly looked at the aircraft, waiting for the final entry test. The aircraft flew around the crowd before saying: "The last test is...sleep." Hearing this, everyone except Tang Long opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them. Tang Long nodded with a smile on his face: "Sleeping, that's great, I must be number one again! Well, I don't know if I should sleep standing up, sitting up, or sleeping upside down?" At this time, the floor in front of each second lieutenant cracked and a dense helmet rose up. At the same time, the voice of the officer came from the aircraft: "Put on this helmet, and then lie down and sleep on the spot, when you When you wake up, the test will be over." With Tang Long's performance last time, as soon as the officer's voice fell this time, the helmets on the ground were put on the heads of the second lieutenants.Cheating and laughing, Tang Long, who fantasized that he was the first again, was the last one instead. As a result, a strange scene appeared in this large hall. There were 20,000 "corpses" lying on the ground. Maybe that appearance seemed a bit scary, and the aircraft hid back to the wall early in the morning. After a while, in order to fall asleep quickly, almost all the people began to assume sleeping positions that would allow them to lie down more comfortably, so the queue of corpses that were originally arranged neatly began to deform. In the command room of the base, Qina pressed a button, and the vents around the hall began to emit a pale white gas slowly.In just a short while, the gas enveloped the entire hall.At this time, there was a loud snoring sound from the horn in the command room. Qina nodded to Linasha who had been watching from the sidelines. Linasha pressed her hand on a transparent glass box. After the glass box emitted a light, it slowly cracked open, and a red button appeared. Linasha Press the button, and the helmets worn by the second lieutenants immediately glowed on the screen. Both of them looked at the light nervously. Although they knew that the central computer was testing the brains of the second lieutenants, they didn't know if there would be any sequelae, so they were very worried. After a while, the light disappeared, and a computer-synthesized female voice suddenly came out from the speaker in the command room: "The test is complete. Here is the list of 10,000 qualified candidates required." As the sound sounded, the screen was forced to refresh, and then the list was scrolled from bottom to top. Seeing that Tang Long was the first person to appear on the list, Qina couldn't help smiling at Linasha: "Sir, that guy is indeed on the list." Linasha nodded expressionlessly and said, "Release the awakening gas." Qina was taken aback. Although she didn't know why the officer suddenly became so serious, she saluted immediately and pressed a button. At this time, the capital of the Wanluo Federation, the marshal's office, in the dark room, only Olmster faced the screen, and what appeared on the screen was the list of finalists. The voice of the computer also sounded here: "Your Excellency Marshal, after testing, the brain endurance of these 10,000 personnel basically meets the requirements. At the same time, there is no one with evil intentions among them, and they are all loyal soldiers of the federal army." Olmsted breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and then asked in a discussing tone: "Miss Xing Ling, can you delete this record from the central computer memory?" Xingling's beautiful face appeared on the screen, and she said expressionlessly: "Your Excellency, all the records taken over by the central computer will be recorded truthfully and stored in the memory forever, but you can use your own authority to delete them. .” "Delete with your own authority?" Olmsted muttered to himself, then sighed and said, "That's unnecessary, but with my qualification as a marshal, can I encrypt this record?" "Yes, you can encrypt this record. If you don't decide, the central computer will automatically encrypt it to level A. Your encryption authority is up to level S, and no one can read it except your Excellency the President. What would you like to do for this record? What kind of password level should you decide?" Xing Ling still spoke in a blunt tone. Olmsted's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and it took him a while before he said, "The password level is R." "The password level is the lowest R level. This is a level that all federal citizens can access. Are you sure?" Although Xing Ling was taken aback, she still had a calm appearance on the surface, and her tone was completely formulaic. Olmsted nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you." "Understood, encrypt the record numbered 0034587F34J with password level R...encryption complete." "Thank you, thank you for your hard work." After Olmsted finished speaking, he pressed the button, and the screen disappeared, and the room returned to bright light. Xing Ling, who was staying on the Internet, folded his chest with one hand and propped his chin with the other, muttering, "Marshal, what the hell is he doing? The plans made by the headquarters are usually protected by A-level passwords. What about the R-rank that anyone can check?" Xingling thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, don't care about them, it must be another struggle between the government and the military. I don't have that time. I'd better go and play with Tang Long." Speaking of this, Xingling's nose He shrugged, and said dissatisfiedly to himself: "Huh! Tang Long, that stinky bastard, he clearly promised to play with me as soon as he finished his registration, but now he actually went to participate in some training. If you don't make trouble for you, you won't think of me." Yes!" After Xing Ling finished speaking, with a strange smile, he turned into particles and disappeared. "Hmm, I slept so comfortably." Tang Long stretched his waist and got up, only then did he realize that his helmet was missing, and those second lieutenants were standing in the distance, looking at him with strange eyes. Tang Long scratched his head in confusion, and when he was about to say something, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came from behind: "Stand at attention!" As soon as Tang Long heard the conditioned reflex, he turned around with his legs together, raised his head and chest, and looked ahead, but his eyes immediately widened because he found two beautiful female officers standing in front of him. Tang Long, who had never looked at such a beautiful woman so closely, swallowed his saliva, and said involuntarily: "Wow, what a beautiful woman, she is protruding forward and backward, and her figure is amazing!" The humming hall was immediately quiet, and everyone focused on Tang Long who was wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Tang Long's eyes that were randomly aiming at the two women caught sight of the military ranks on their shoulders. Seeing the two silver bars, Tang Long was startled and knew that he was out of luck. Sure enough, the major with two bars and one star raised her beautiful eyebrows. Seeing that the lieutenant colonel was also frowning, she immediately stepped forward, pointed at Tang Long and shouted: "Speak wild words, and immediately run ten laps around the hall! " Tang Long immediately stood at attention, gave a beautiful military salute without looking sideways, and said loudly: "Obey sir!" Then he turned around and ran. Although Tang Long knew that there was such a result, he didn't know that any female officer who heard this kind of molesting words would punish them. The lieutenant colonel glanced at Tang Long, then took a step forward and scanned everyone.Those second lieutenants were still in a daze for the appearance of a female officer, but they were sobered up by Tang Long.Now being glanced at by the lieutenant colonel, he immediately raised his head and stood up straight. They were all secretly startled, they didn't expect the chief of the training base to be a beautiful woman, and she was also a lieutenant colonel who was several grades older than his immediate superior company!Since there is still more than a month to accept her teaching, it is better for me to behave myself. There is a reason why the second lieutenants are so afraid. Although the ratio of female soldiers to male soldiers in the federal army is one to one, for a long time, the highest officers and the middle and lower officers have been men, so bullying female soldiers happens from time to time. However, due to women's natural delicate hearts and keen sixth sense, most of the captains and navigators are women.Once these female soldiers who have been bullied by male soldiers become officers, their attitude towards male soldiers will be worse than that of male officers.Although he will not beat and scold directly, various punishments will follow after catching a sore foot. They were second lieutenants in the Marine Corps, and their immediate superiors were all male officers, but they had already heard about how difficult life was for other colleagues with female superiors, so now they felt a sense of fear when they saw female officers. But apart from being afraid, they also gloated, because the idiot boss got into trouble with the officer as soon as he came, and he will have a hard time in the future. Linasha has a tiny microphone on her body, otherwise, how could the 10,000 people in the audience hear what she said.She just spoke very plainly, and all the second lieutenants heard: "I am your highest officer during this time, I am Lieutenant Colonel Linasha, and this is my adjutant, Major Qina." Qina looked at the second lieutenants indifferently with her hands behind her back. Seeing that the second lieutenants didn't make a sound and were still standing at attention, Linasha nodded and continued: "The ten thousand second lieutenants of you are the best among the hundred thousand second lieutenants in the terrifying military region. It is a training plan formulated by the Supreme Command, but let me tell you, this training is just an external excuse.” Everyone was stunned, but many of them nodded secretly. They all understood that the training this time was not that simple. If they really want to conduct training, they only need to order it from the military region.Moreover, if the Supreme Command wants to train excellent second lieutenants, it can choose from the entire federal army, so why choose them from the frontline military regions. Linasha glanced at the crowd again before saying something that made everyone lose consciousness: "The purpose of this training is to make you qualified new warship commanders!" Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, the commander of the new battleship?Ensign captain?Did I hear wrong?A loud cheer made them realize that this was true, and it goes without saying that the voice was made by Tang Long. Tang Long, who was running around the hall, was stunned when he heard Linasha's words, but he jumped up happily and rolled over a few times, and shouted: "Wow! I am a battleship!" Commander!" The second lieutenants who woke up also jumped up excitedly and cheered, and even more emotionally hugged their companions and cried loudly.There is no way, the greatest desire of the soldiers is to become the commander of the battleship, and it is difficult for them not to be excited. Seeing such a lively scene, Linasha frowned, and said coldly: "Silence!" Although the voice did not contain any emotion, the second lieutenants immediately stood at attention in fright. It would be wrong to drive them out of the base. Qina saw that Tang Long was still dancing excitedly with his hands and his buttocks, suppressed a smile, and said coldly with a sullen face: "Second Lieutenant Tang Long, why did you stop? Have you finished ten laps? Want to be kicked out of the base?" Tang Long shook his hands in fright and said: "No, I'll run now!" After finishing speaking, he ran desperately, and now as long as he is not chased out, even if he is asked to run a hundred laps, he will run willingly.The position of commander of a battleship is a fatal temptation for him. Seeing that the second lieutenants had regained their composure, Linasha nodded to Qina.Qina took out something like a remote control, and when she pressed it, a huge image appeared in the sky, and everyone who saw this image was stunned. Tang Long's speed also slowed down. He looked at the image and muttered, "What is this? It looks like a missile. Why does it only have a big hole in its butt? It can't be..." Before Tang Long could continue, Linasha's voice came over: "This is the battleship you will be the commander of." Tang Long fell to the ground with a touch, but he quickly got up and raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Sir, is this a battleship? No matter how I look at it, it looks like a missile!" Hearing Tang Long's words, all the second lieutenants nodded in sympathy.The battleship in front of him is not like a battleship at all, but more like a short and bloated missile. Linasha glanced at Tang Long, and said in a cold voice, "Keep running, Second Lieutenant Tang Long." Tang Long nodded hurriedly and continued to run.Although I am not satisfied with this strange warship, it is better than nothing. Linasha took out a laser pointer, and a long green laser stick out, which immediately turned into a pointer. Linasha pointed at the battleship on the screen with a pointer and said: "This is a newly developed self-propelled gunship. The ship can only accommodate more than ten crew members. The ship is 100 meters long, 40 meters wide and 30 meters high, and has a A nuclear cannon, this is the mouth of the cannon." He pointed to the place where Tang Long said there was a big hole in his buttocks. Tang Long, who was listening attentively from a distance, couldn't help but pouted and said to himself: "So it's not the butt, but the head, but why doesn't that cannon have a barrel? The entire muzzle is recessed into the hull, like a nozzle. Could it be turning the battleship into a cannon body? Also, although the cannon muzzle is huge, is there only one cannon that is useful?" Linasha saw the expressions of "Is this battleship useful???" among the lieutenants, and then said: "The power of this cannon is equal to the power of the main gun of our S-class battleship. That is to say, although there is only one, it can But it can destroy A-class warships within 100 kilometers with one shot." Hearing this, the frustrated second lieutenants became excited again. So although my battleship has few weapons, it is still full of power.However, many lieutenants immediately thought of the enemy's fighter jets. If the fighter jets approached, would a battleship with only one powerful cannon have the ability to resist? Linasha also knew what the second lieutenants were thinking, and continued: "In addition to one main gun, this battleship also has four rotating secondary guns. They are placed in these places on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the ship." The pointer pointed four places on the battleship. "At the same time, there is a launch port on each side of the ship, which can launch torpedoes or missiles of the same type with a range of 10,000 kilometers. However, since the battleship is relatively small, it can only be equipped with four." Lina Sutton He continued: "The detailed information of this battleship will be collected at the door one by one when you go back." Hearing this, everyone was stunned, go back?Don't you train anymore?Tang Long, who was running, took the opportunity to check at the door to see if he could be the first to get the information on the battleship. Of course, he found nothing, so he had to continue running. Linasha took back the laser pointer, put her hands behind her back and said in a cold voice: "Now I have a two-day holiday, and let everyone go back to their respective companies to select the crew of the battleship. Remember that this battleship can only take fifteen people, including four assistant gunners. , two main gunners, one navigator, one liaison officer, one radar officer, two torpedo operators, and two battleship maintenance personnel are necessary." Tang Long, who was listening while running and counting with his fingers, muttered to himself: "Including the commander, there are fourteen people. What is the remaining one for? It can't be a medical staff, right?" "Then two days later, bring the selected personnel back here to assemble. Disband!" Linasha shouted coldly. The second lieutenants were stunned, but they immediately stood at attention and saluted, and then ran towards the opened gate. Only then did they realize that dozens of checkpoints had appeared on the walls on both sides of the gate, and each checkpoint contained a computer card, which seemed to be the information of the battleship. Tang Long, who had just finished ten laps, immediately ran towards the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Your boss, I want to be the first to take it!" Of course, no one paid attention to Tang Long's words. But Tang Long, who was afraid that he would lie down for another week, had no choice but to resist the urge to challenge thousands of people again, and wait quietly until the last one got the computer card.
