Superman, the Man of Steel, female, 6 years old!

The silver lining is that these fleets can still receive Ansible communications from Earth in hyperspace, so those human warships that are now old can further speed up their current deceleration process.

This would allow these previously departed fleets to reach their destination earlier than their original destination and slightly further away from the Zerg, allowing humanity's new fleets to use artificial wormholes and space gates to rendezvous with the Zerg fleets before they could be discovered.

……

……

Buzz! ~Buzz! ~Buzz! ~……

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

With the start of an unprecedented 'exchange' activity.

The superpower school, or in other words, all human schools, stopped all theoretical courses. Society, the military, and all departments that were not important to production stopped their original functions and turned their full attention to starting the largest military simulator games in human history.

All news media are reporting on this super sports event in a continuous manner.

All of humanity's buses, billboards, various vehicles, subway station entrances, space gate station "boarding gates", outer space stations, all government buildings, national squares, and all military camp exterior walls were broadcasting the total points competition in turn.

Wherever there are humans, the sounds of space fighters from different perspectives flying and shooting on simulated battlefields can be heard.

The monitors in each unit will monitor the performance of their own team.

The billboards in the community will broadcast the outstanding results of the contestants in the community and their ranking points in the city.

Even primary school and kindergarten teachers organized the children to try their skills in the simulators in the school, and after being eliminated by the adults, everyone cheered for the people they were familiar with.

Every small circle of acquaintances and friends, every village, every neighborhood, every city, and even every class in school has its own team participating in the competition and cheering for it.

In addition to production and life, human warships and unmanned fighter production lines throughout the solar system, as well as automated factories equipped with artificial intelligence cores, are still in operation.

Almost all human beings have been pulled into this "Simulator Games" with the highest level of participation by the global governments.

Human beings in this world have benefited from the continuous development of production technology. Therefore, although humans only had some space stations in the solar system, a colonial city on the moon and several developed asteroids, they still have a population of more than 200 billion.

The number of participants this time accounts for one-tenth of the total population.

So when all the news media were broadcasting the virtual battle scenes of different space fighters on the first day, almost everyone felt like they were back to a total war.

Because for every ten people, there was one person they knew who went to the battlefield. There was one person they knew who was blown up by other competitors and space fighters on the battlefield.

The battle game in this simulator is not fair.

Although all contestants have 10 chances to try again.

However, the number of fighter jets they can control each time is different.

To be precise, everyone can have as many fighter jets in the game as they can control in the first stage.

As long as your thinking speed and command ability can keep up, no one will limit the upper limit of the number of fighter jets you can control in this battle.

So even if all the participants and teams were randomly thrown into a map the size of the solar system, large and small clusters of space fighters would instantly appear in various places on the map. These professional players or students from the superpower school who had formed teams in advance, like a swarm of bees, formed a dense formation and swept across the map. All visible players and opponents in front of them were swept away.

Russia's superpower school and the Terminator team led by Savior Ender also participated in this national competition.

Now, besides daily spiritual training, the entire school was busy competing with other players in the simulator and racking up points. Even meals and rest breaks seemed to be rushed.

And it is also to train their ability to withstand fatigue and their ability to resist counterattack when working at high intensity.

Anna and the American School of Superpowers had both implemented the Da Vinci Sleep Method, which had been around for centuries. This method involved sleeping for 15 minutes for every 4 hours of work, resulting in less than 1.5 hours of sleep throughout the day.

Of course, Anna now replaced these 15 minutes of deep sleep with meditation and sitting on the training platform. After all the students tested it, the effect they achieved in the past few days was probably even more effective than that of Leonardo da Vinci himself.

Chapter 424: The Terminator Team's Journey

Before the national competition began, the stingy president of Anhui University finally equipped the school with holographic simulators. So, every student and team in the school had their own dedicated simulator on 24-hour standby.

Therefore, people like Ander who came from the combat school and were outsiders who were small and weak did not have to worry about those big students who could not get the right to use it on weekdays coming to trouble them.

As expected, the superpower schools in the United States and Russia grabbed the top spots in the overall standings on just the first day.

In this six-month three-stage competition.

There is no set time limit for all players to participate, and there is no so-called kill limit for all players. So they can go online whenever they want and kill as many people as they want in the virtual battlefield.

Except everyone only has 10 lives.

This unregulated melee will continue until the required number of people for the overall standings is decided, and only then will the chaotic and disorderly first stage end.

In the past few days, Ender and his friends' Terminator team have spent almost all their time on simulator competitions and sweeping points, except for the daily 4-hour mental training classes.

They only go online for four hours at a time, or try to decide the winner within four hours, and then use the remaining 15 minutes to solve personal problems and meditate to restore energy.

In every collective action, the Terminator team's space fighter cluster is always the best coordinated echelon in the overall standings.

After being trained by the psychic master Principal Anna for several months, all the members of the Terminator team can now control nearly 537819336 space fighters to fight, but they did not do so.

After each entry, they would free up some redundant mental energy for communication and mind-sharing. Therefore, the standard number of fighters in the entire Terminator team was 537819336 per expedition.

In the first one or two days, the Terminator team felt like a fish in water.

Because the situation on the entire battlefield was extremely chaotic during these two days.

There were no rules, and the first reaction of all participants upon seeing one another was to attack with all their might. Consequently, countless people were killed by the Terminator Squad, pushing them down to tenth place in the overall standings.

During this period, the Terminator team encountered enemies who flew space fighters better than them, and also encountered clusters with more space fighters than them.

However, when encountering an enemy whose space fighters flew dazzlingly and whose various tactics and maneuvers shocked Ender and his team, these elite and skilled fighters among the common people were often easily eliminated due to the lack of fighters. The unprecedented tactics and maneuvers used by these enemies on the battlefield became nourishment and teaching materials for the Terminator team to absorb continuously in the war.

When encountering a large number of enemy space fighters, Ander and his men can often easily defeat them with higher organization and tacit cooperation than these people.

Almost 20 hours of continuous online time a day.

This allowed them to easily surpass 99% of the other contestants.

The vigorous battlefield in the simulator, the satisfaction after repeated victories, and the enemies constantly being blown up by their own space fighters, make their lives feel like fireworks in the sky that are constantly being sublimated.

There are too many participants.

Each person will have as many fighter jets as he can control.

And everyone has 10 chances.

Therefore, on the battlefield in the past two days, it was difficult for Ander and his Terminator team to encounter opponents who could match them in terms of technical level or number of fighter jets.

The enemies they beat up were often ordinary people who were constantly resurrected and randomly refreshed, and non-professional players who participated just for fun.

In the most 'dangerous' time...

The Terminator team only encountered a team ranked outside the top 200 in a Russian superpower school on the edge of the battlefield.

Moreover, when these people met Ender and his friends, they didn't even need Ender to say hello to them. These people who were still fighting for the simulator usage time in school didn't even care about the enemies they had just fought halfway through, and ran away directly in front of Ender and his friends.

However, the first stage of the competition has been going on for more than a week.

The good days when Ender and his Terminator team could easily score points on the battlefield are over.

Because it's time now.

Players who come in to have fun.

Those players with poor skills.

And those players who obviously don't have enough controllable fighters...

In the first week, more than half of them had been eliminated by the various killers on the battlefield. This made it obviously take Ander and his team longer to find easier enemies.

Moreover, when the Terminator team was wandering around the battlefield, they encountered more than once that all the contestants were national-level contestants who were suspected to be an army of ordinary people.

These clusters of large numbers of space fighters on the battlefield have very obvious characteristics.

Because of the number of these space fighter clusters, each wave has at least 10 aircraft.

But because the members are basically ordinary people.

So, when these massive swarms of space fighters fought Ender and his team, although some of their individual fighters had even higher combat capabilities than Ender and his team, these swarms clearly lacked the feeling that Ender and his team had become so familiar with at school: the feeling of all the fighters working as a whole, all being able to be controlled on the battlefield with ease.

Although when the number gap was not big, Ander and his men were not afraid of these enemies at all.

However, when the number gap reached more than 10 times, the attack of these fighter clusters did not cause them much damage, but still caused a lot of trouble to the Terminator team.

Furthermore, regardless of the number of members in each team, their points are calculated uniformly...

So it was less than a week.

Even the Terminator team fights for nearly 20 hours every day, far exceeding the national-level contestants composed of ordinary people.

But their total points...

In the end, it fell outside the top 50.

During the previous week, these large number of national-level contestants, who were organized by ordinary people or even active military personnel, did not show up.

It’s just because, even these countries and armies participated collectively after hearing the order.

During their regular training, they also held various internal competitions every year and every month... Therefore, before these people worked together to bully outsiders, they also had to compete for supremacy among themselves.

Chapter 425 The world's top 500 are determined

After two weeks of fighting in the simulator, those scattered individuals and teams of non-professional players were basically eliminated.

In news broadcasts from all over the world.

It is also obvious that various powerful and prominent teams have begun to emerge.

In two weeks, Ander's team killed more than 5 million fighter planes, with an average of more than 500 deaths per team member, ranking 59th on the overall points list.

And the one who ranks first in the overall standings...

It was the 'Invincible Vika' that everyone in the Terminator team and the superpower school had become so familiar with that they were numb.

During the first two weeks.

Miss Vika, who lives alone, eats, practices, and plays games every day.

And it will only be online for 12 hours every day.

However, he undisputedly took the first place on the record list with the incredible achievement of killing 1096 million fighters without even using up his initial 'first life' of controllable fighters.

The other 200 or so teams in the Russian Superpower School are also all ranked in the top 500 of the world standings.

Nearly 40 teams from the American superpower schools have made it into the top 500 of the world rankings.

Like the other 8 teams in the school that are stronger than Anders and his team.

All of them died once or twice, but the number of fighter jets killed was more than 700 million, occupying 8 positions from 22nd to 46th in the performance list.

The other teams in the top 100 of the standings are basically national-level participating teams with at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of members.

As for the other small teams with seven or eight members, or around twenty, even the best-performing teams from the Russian School of Superpowers had their scores ranked outside the top 100.

And apart from the teams from the two superpower schools, there is no other team in the top 500 with fewer than a thousand members.

After the world's top 500 were decided.

This world-class event has officially entered its second stage.

Among the top 500.

Two superpower schools take up 240 places.

National-level forces account for 173 of them.

Other super-conglomerates, various local associations, various labor unions, sports clubs, or fan clubs with strong organizational capabilities, etc., these large-scale participating teams organized by social groups with a large number of manpower, have divided up the remaining 87 places in the top 500.

Of course.

The national-level forces here refer to the large-scale participating teams organized by governments and official forces, and do not mean that there are 173 countries that have advanced to the top 500 in the world.

Like the second-ranked team in the standings.

It is a team of more than 20,000 people composed of all the currently "unemployed" fighter pilots in the international fleet.

Ranked third to fifth.

The US Navy Air Force, the US Air Force, and the Russian Space Force also have over 10,000 or 20,000 personnel...

Basically the top 10 position in the standings.

Apart from Miss Vika who is at the top of the list and the fighter division of the international fleet standing there unmoved, the next 8 places have actually all been monopolized by the large-scale participating teams organized by different branches of the two superpowers, the United States and Russia, such as the Army Aviation, Aerospace Forces, and the Fourth Class Manpower.
