Chapter 148 The competition on the planet base begins
Kalki smiled slightly.
He never thought about living until the age of 75 and going to the "Island of Blessings" for retirement. At that time, he was gray-haired and senile. Every day, his comrades who were as old as him chatted under the trees, reminiscing about the glorious past, and then died there.
in a military nursing home.
"Growing old slowly is a pity for a famous general." He suddenly said, "I long for the dazzling moment like a supernova explosion, throwing all the energy into the universe, shining brightly and illuminating everything in an instant." Krishna saw that his face radiated a kind of light, and idealism gave him a youthful air, allowing the French beauty of the sculptural facial features to show a kind of divinity.
"Your soul is so special, Kalki..." Krishna could only sigh softly.
The large canteen at the Keto base is still a temporary canteen, like a smart tent that can be extended extremely deep and wide. Hundreds of thousands of newly arrived defense fleets and various engineering brigades were crowded with humans
From the entire perspective, collective life is ubiquitous in the military.
"The terraforming of Keto Base has just been completed. When we first arrived, we lived in a small ecological sphere and could not move freely at all. Now it is still a little cold and has not reached the optimal human body temperature." The staff officer of the Second Fleet.
Captain Nario said with a smile, since they were about to return home, everyone was in a very relaxed and happy state.
"Are you feeling cold?" the chief of staff asked.
"Oh, no, just right." Captain Kalki replied immediately, showing a friendly smile.
"Our knight's robes look very thin, but they are actually made of special materials that can keep the body's body temperature at an optimal state." Krishna explained. He also touched the fabric with his hand, showing a special dense texture.
Come.
"Thank you for bringing us the much-needed supplies!" Budi gracefully raised the simple wine glass in his hand and paid tribute to the two group leaders and the young deacons with the alcohol-free amber liquid.
The supply problem of huge space bases is always troublesome, which is why the Platons have never established any interstellar bases for centuries.
The atmosphere between the two parties seemed very harmonious, and as they drank and ate, the conversation was lively. Commander-in-Chief Budi began to talk about his experiences in various bases.
"It's so difficult to build the underground maintenance factory in Versa. Chuck talked to me several times and said he was going crazy. He said there was something wrong with the foundation he chose, but he had already dug it in. Now he doesn't know how to continue the construction.
It is better to refill the land and choose a new site to build again." Budi said, "He always said that there is an 'invisible void that I can't detect with any instrument.' The foundation of Versa's construction always collapsed, and finally
Use special support methods to allow construction to continue..." Commander Budi kept talking about the construction anecdotes of the Versa underground military maintenance base.
"So there is such a thing." Kalki was a little surprised, "HO-52 is a rocky dwarf planet, and its foundation should be very solid."
"At least two ground collapse accidents occurred, causing casualties." Nerio added.
"Perhaps in large-scale base construction projects, this will inevitably happen." Young Krishna said.
"The engineers once put in a detection robot from the collapsed hole, but it never returned, and there was no abnormal signal." Another young staff officer said boldly.
"It's strange..." Kalki muttered.
Budi saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became strange. Everyone seemed to be guessing what the problem was. The commander-in-chief was a person who loved lively scenes, so he immediately started to stir up the atmosphere.
"Let us guess, who is the new commander-in-chief of Ceto Base?" He raised his voice, "Who will the Senate ultimately decide to become the commander-in-chief of the first interstellar base in Plato's history?"
Krishna glanced meaningfully at Kalki, whose deep eyes were filled with colors like the waves of the sea.
It would be great if Ahir Defense History could win him the commander-in-chief of Ceto Base. Kalki thought secretly, but if he really left the Knights, he would spend several years on such a desolate and strange rocky planet.
Ten years have also made people feel extremely sad.
"No one will know this, but I think there should be no one willing to take the initiative to come here." Shankara turned to look at Kalki, as if speculating on his psychology, "Who would voluntarily give up the comfortable life in Plato?
?"
Everyone is whispering
"Garrisoning troops is a strange idea."
"A large number of maintenance personnel and logistics personnel need to be transferred from Plato..."
"If the Keto base is built, it will become an endless battle front."
"Yes, the Gaians will definitely fight back."
"Captain Kalki, Commander Krishna, the day after tomorrow, let's hold a martial arts competition between our two sides, that is, the Media Fleet and the White Tiger Knights!" Commander-in-Chief Budi suddenly suggested, his eyes shining brightly.
Very excited.
"Okay!" Krishna said with a smile, and there were happy echoes all around.
"As a farewell to the Median fleet, there is nothing better than a contest." Chalki also said.
Everyone's emotions were aroused, and the atmosphere at the scene changed from slightly worried discussions to elation.
It is a long-standing tradition to hold tourneys when two or more fleets of Plato's army met to rest during battle.
The tournament is very attractive to young soldiers. Everyone will sign up enthusiastically and then be selected by the artificial intelligence system to enter the competition. This time, each side will send 800 elite soldiers to fight.
The organizer of the competition will select and modify the competition location, in a sealed photomask, to simulate various terrains and environments. The two sides will attack each other. The winner is whoever captures the opponent's headquarters first and presses the ball in the middle of the headquarters. The registration age limit is under 25 years old. The purpose of the competition is to allow capable young people to stand out and to eliminate the embarrassing situation of high-ranking commanders joining in the fun.
Both sides must wear special white competition clothing and use special competition guns, so that the location of the shot and the severity of the injury can be calculated. Once "injured", the competition clothing will become heavier. If it is judged as "death", the weapon will
It will become invalid immediately. The helmet will prompt the participants to leave the battlefield immediately and go to the established safe area. If the fight continues, the ranking will be cancelled.
If the enemy is "killed" or "injured", points will be scored, so the competition field can also show the personal combat ranking of the day. This is a very interesting practical game, full of fun, and there is no life-threatening, so young Kshatriyas
They are all happy to participate, and if they rank among the best in individual competitions, they can also achieve great success.
"It's finally a competition! It's been a long time since I've had a competition!"
Early that morning, the young people all got up excitedly and started making noises in the dormitory of the camp without even turning on the lights.
Kalki's three military retinues, Dothras, Swalin and Mantilfari, all happily put on special competition uniforms. The competition uniforms of the White Tiger Knights were naturally a pale white fantasy color, which attracted the attention of the young people.
Their bodies looked more upright and graceful. The three of them were still discussing their experiences from the last competition, and seemed eager to give it a try.
"Come on, fight hard and bring glory to the Knights." Luo Hu said feebly. He seemed a little disappointed because he was just overage and couldn't compete. This is the most popular competitive sport among young people.
"We finally have a chance to perform!" Even Amati, who has always been quiet, made a few gestures with a competition gun.
"We will definitely win!" Shankara, who was wearing a martial arts uniform, adjusted his helmet and looked confident.
"Kalki, I'm going to participate in the competition!" Siddha greeted her lord happily, and happily ran to the knights participating in the competition.
The situation at Captain Krishna's place was similar. A group of young people under his command were all smiling and hurried to join together.
Competitions during the rest period of combat will attract a lot of people, not to mention the boring garrison period.
"We old people are so pitiful! We have become the commander-in-chief!" Karki and Krishna joked. Almost all the entourage of the two captains ran away.
"When we were young, we also liked martial arts competitions very much. This is a good opportunity for young people to become famous. Kalki, I remember you walked faster than anyone else when you participated in the past! One time, you even bumped into the head of Ravana.
, he can’t do anything to you at all.” Krishna replied.
Kalki let out a deep laugh. He rarely laughed out loud like this. It seemed that when people looked back at themselves a few years ago, they would really feel ridiculous when they saw how dumbfounded they were.
"I still remember that you were always invincible in long sword competitions. What did they call you at that time? The King of Cold Weapons?" Krishna continued, "There seems to be a nickname for hot sword competitions... Let me
Think about it."
"The king of the pig charge... Mad dog Kalki." Kalki said self-deprecatingly, and then laughed heartily "Hahaha". After the age of 25, he rarely laughed anymore.
The scene from five years ago seemed to flash before his eyes. He was still playing what he now regarded as child's play, killing everyone with Varuna and his younger brothers.
In order to press the light ball in the "enemy" headquarters, he jumped up among countless simulated light bullet beams, but was "killed" by the defenders at the last moment. The game came to an abrupt end and they won the victory.
Varuna came over and pulled him up from the ground. The two of them took off their masks and looked at each other like brothers, smiling so happily.
Kalki's laughter gradually subsided. After 25 years old, he has completely grown up.
Youth and life are so short. It feels even more so after obeying the system's arrangements and being forced to get married. It's like when I saw Xuanji for the first time in Mangxing City, the gorgeous Yae Sakura fell behind her.
In the large square specially opened for the competition, nearly 120,000 spectators from the two fleets gathered together enthusiastically.
Surrounded by extremely high and wide ion display screens, a large group of "overage" senior commanders gathered together. The fleet personnel were wearing casual casual clothes of the fleet, while the personnel of the White Tiger Knights wore Sheva robes according to the old tradition. Everyone
Standing closely to watch, like the tradition of any sporting event, requires the kind of intense and intense atmosphere.
The battle situation was also broadcast live to other non-combat units of the fleet and various engineer units. This was an extremely attractive entertainment program for Plato's army. According to the teachings of Yuanjiao, Plato people are not allowed to have any entertainment, but human nature cannot be violated, so the competition became
The traditional entertainment items of Plato's soldiers are regarded as a sideline behavior.
The quota of 800 elite soldiers is selected by the system from all applicants based on their combat performance and training results.
Unsurprisingly, the entourage of the two captains were all selected, which attracted Kalki and Krishna to pay more attention to the battle situation. Budi's situation was similar, with hundreds of thousands of people excitedly paying attention to various angles around them.
Play the battle situation.
The battle site was a rectangular area 5 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide, with a light shield covering it, cutting off any external contact. 1,600 people were fighting in it, which was quite like raising worms.
The organizers will also build various fortifications to make the competition more interesting. For example, the venue designer this time imitated some classic battle locations in the three battles of Cetus. The non-life-threatening actual combat competition is not only good for participants but also for observers.
Both are very interesting, and it’s no wonder that this sport was so popular among Plato’s armies.
The knights of the White Tiger Fleet wear light white competition soft armor, and the soldiers of the Media Fleet wear light blue-gray competition soft armor, both with helmets. This soft armor has a sensing device that can sense various types of simulated lasers.
It has the strike point and strike strength of similar weapons. The soft armor also comes with a hood and a mask on the front. Participants can see some simple enemy situation prompts and can communicate with their own side via radio. This special soft armor for competition is not meant to be worn.
It is mainly used for scoring and simulating the inconvenience caused by injuries.
Therefore, the 1,600 elite soldiers from both sides wore this special combat uniform and entered from their respective sides of the draw.
At this time, hundreds of thousands of people outside the stadium cheered loudly, cheering loudly for their own team.
"Commanders at all levels and personnel in various positions have come out!" Krishna said. Even in Plato's competition, the artificial intelligence system allocates combat positions.
These messages will appear directly on the huge display screen at the observation site. Shankara is the supreme commander of the "White Tiger", and almost all other subordinate commanders come from the military retinue camp of the two regiment leaders.
"It's Kiak!" Nelio, the chief of staff of the Second Fleet, called softly. The face of a handsome young man with black hair was displayed on the display screen of the "Media" side.
"Kijak is good...he is very solid defensively."
Kalki heard the opponent's command team's observation team whispering. The significance of the tournament is also a good opportunity for the huge Platonic military group to get to know each other and communicate with each other.
"Boys, let's start the fight. Use all your strength! Don't embarrass me!" Fleet Commander Budi roared softly.
Next to him, Kalki and Krishna looked at each other understandingly.
It is very stressful for most fleet special forces to fight against the White Tiger Knights. Some fleet commanders even suggested that it is unfair to compete with the number of knights, and that there must be at least 1,000 people.
