Chapter 851: Chaos Star Field
Therefore, they needed to be extremely careful when performing real tasks. However, they also needed to experience real danger to improve themselves. Thus, the Douluo World had always been the training ground for students studying space warfare in the Federation. Here, they could experience what they dared not easily experience in real combat.
At that moment, the meteor-class assault warship that Lan Xuanyu and his classmates were riding on had been a pirate ship they had exchanged with their merits and had undergone some of their custom modifications. Although it couldn\'t compare with the power of the Thirty-Three Sky Wings warship and didn\'t have anti-matter missiles, it was still quite good among the warships of this level.
In the Douluo World, there were different scales of battles between various forces. There were large-scale battles that were similar to international wars in the true sense, but most were small tasks and daily frictions. There were also specific areas, such as the one that the Thirty-Three Sky Pirate Group was about to enter, which was called the Chaos Star Field, a chaotic world of fighting. When entering here, strength was the only thing that mattered; there were no friends, only opponents. The warships of various forces would appear in this area, but rarely did organized fleets appear. If there was an organized fleet, it would inevitably be attacked by all forces in the Chaos Star Field.
At the same time, the situation in the Chaos Star Field was special; there were a large number of asteroid belts here, and large warships could hardly be used. Most of the ships here were medium and small-sized warships.
And the biggest advantage of the Chaos Star Field was that many of the meteorites in this area contained rare metal deposits, and some special rare metals that only existed in the Chaos Star Field could also be encountered. Therefore, if one could survive and obtain resources here, it was also possible to become rich overnight. But the premise was that one must have enough strength.
This was a jungle law, a place where the weak were prey to the strong.
For Lan Xuanyu and his classmates, such a dangerous area, if it had existed in the universe, the academy would have never allowed them to go there. But in the Douluo World, it was their best training ground.
Every week, the whole class had to act together and engage in a space battle in the Douluo World. This happened every week and took about a whole day. This was also their most important training.
Each space battle faced various changes, and such training was very practical.
Sitting in the main control position, Lan Xuanyu wore the main control helmet and closed his eyes, feeling the flow of information from the radar. He also listened to his teammates\' reports at any time.
"Ten minutes away from the Chaos Star Field. Countdown begins," Ding Zhuohan\'s voice came through.
When Lan Xuanyu was present, he was in charge of the main control radar, and when he wasn\'t there, he was the captain.
"Check the weapon equipment, check the energy situation and the main thruster," Lan Xuanyu gave orders.
"Weapon equipment is normal."
"Energy reserve is 96%."
"Main thruster is all normal."
After receiving responses from his teammates, Lan Xuanyu immediately ordered, "Prepare for battle!"
That\'s right, entering the Chaos Star Field, there was no other possibility but to fight. Any warship appearing in front of them would be the enemy. And destroying the enemy warship would earn them some merit and resources from the wreckage. Even capturing prisoners had no meaning here because there was no way to take the captured warship away. There was only battle and destruction.
"Preparations complete!" A series of responses sounded.
"Enter stealth mode," Lan Xuanyu shouted sternly.
The warship quickly entered stealth mode, with faint lights and shadows flashing by, and the interior of the warship entered into a silent state.
Ahead, a large asteroid belt appeared in their vision. These asteroids floated aimlessly in space, some as large as asteroids and some as small as a fist. As far as the eye could see.
Occasionally, fire lights and energy fluctuations were transmitted from the asteroid belt.
When they first arrived here, Lan Xuanyu and his team suffered a great loss. At that time, they thought they were already quite skilled in piloting warships. But when they came here, they realized that the ways of star warfare were so varied.
Some warships disguised themselves as asteroids and suddenly ambushed them as they passed by. There were also those unreasonable ones that directly fired their main cannons from afar, causing collateral damage to them.
Two warships that were originally engaged in battle suddenly turned their turrets and fired at them together.
Anything bizarre could happen here. Therefore, no matter when they had to be extremely cautious to survive the various crises they faced here.
The invisible warship arrived at the edge of the asteroid belt, not in a hurry to enter the Chaos Star Field, but slowly cruising along the outer layer of the asteroid belt. This was the result of accumulated experience. They needed to find the most suitable entry point before entering.
There were many different magnetic fields within the asteroid belt, and it was difficult to maintain the invisible state after entering. After all, this was not the real world. Their most important goal here was to obtain resources. At least, they must obtain resources that exceeded their losses before they were destroyed.
Tang Zhenhua\'s requirement for them was to preserve themselves as much as possible while obtaining resources. It was better to obtain fewer resources than to fall easily. After all, in actual combat, there was no chance to come back to life.
Today, all thirty-two members except for Lan Mengqin were present, and everyone was eager to go. This was also the first interstellar combat training they had conducted after Lan Xuanyu\'s return.
Everyone knew that this subject would be included in their graduation exam, and it was also the most important part for them to score points. Each collective exercise was a significant experience.
Despite being over 18 years old on average, they did not possess the immaturity that young men and women at 18 years old should have. Each person\'s eyes were firm, and their expressions seemed to have been tempered by the flames of war. They all appeared calm, full of fighting spirit, yet not at all nervous. Their six years at Shrek Academy truly helped them to grow up.
The warship flew cautiously along the edge of the asteroid belt, maintaining a distance from the magnetic fields inside the belt, and feeling the changes in the atmosphere within the belt.
The radar was already at full power, and with Lan Xuanyu\'s mental sensitivity, it extended outward.
In the universe, spiritual detection was very effective, and in a vacuum environment, the extension of spiritual senses was even faster. When combined with radar, it could often produce unexpected results. This was also a necessary ability for an excellent warship commander.
Some higher Star Wars command schools in the Federation first considered spiritual power for their students.
They sailed like this, and half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye, but everyone was calm and patient, waiting for an opportunity.
There were many opportunities in the Chaos Star Field, but more were traps. No one could say that they had absolute strength here. This was a place where people ate without spitting out bones.
Just then, suddenly, a burst of strong light erupted in the asteroid belt, and the light rushed out from the gaps between the asteroids. Some small asteroids melted, and some asteroids scattered under the shock wave.
Lan Xuanyu commanded the warship to retreat further away, judging from the strength of the shockwave, at least one meteor-class assault warship had exploded. That was the only way such a strong shockwave could have been produced.
The opportunity had arrived!
"Prepare to enter. Shield up, charge the main cannon," Lan Xuanyu immediately ordered.
As the light from the shockwave gradually faded, it became possible to see that the surfaces of the meteorites that had been washed by the shockwave but had not disappeared were emitting a faint metallic sheen. The rare metal content of all the meteorites here was extremely high.
Moreover, impurities were easily removed in the high-temperature and high-pressure shockwave environments. Therefore, the closer to the core area of the meteorite field, the higher the purity of the rare metal. This was also why this place was so dangerous but still had a strong attraction for all the warships.
