The assessment requirement was to survive in the Chaos Star Field for 72 hours. They had to destroy at least ten warships of the same level. The longer they lasted, the more points they would get.
This was a team mission. Originally, everyone should have their own assessment. But they were a team. The academy considered their integrity, so they gave this team mission.
Was it difficult to survive for 72 hours in the Chaos Star Field? It was very difficult. This galaxy was the most difficult training ground for small and medium-sized warships. Even if it was an experienced warship commander, it would be easy for the ship to overturn. This was because no one knew what kind of opponents they would encounter in the Chaos Star Field.
There were only two kinds of people who could come here to practice. One was extremely confident in their warship control ability. The other was to plunder resources.
Those who plundered resources usually ran away after getting some rare metals. Those who practiced control skills didn't care about that. They purely practiced their own abilities.
There was a ranking list in the Chaos Star System. The battleship in the first place had a survival time of two hundred and eight hours.
It was also a meteor-class attack ship, but he had brought three supply ships into this star field. Relying on his own strength, while killing his opponent, he had done his best to protect his supply ship. In the end, he had lasted for such a long time.
It seemed that the difference between 72 hours and 208 hours was quite big.
But in reality, Lan Xuanyu's warship didn't have any supplies. Under normal circumstances, the warship's energy could fly in the universe for a month. It could even last longer. But this was under the premise that they didn't fight.
Once they entered a combat state, whether it was the protective shield or the attack energy output, they would consume a large amount of the warship's energy.
Why did a fleet need a huge mothership as the core? It was because the mothership could store a large amount of energy.
Lan Xuanyu and the others were even required to not carry more than three tons of rare metals as energy in the warship. This greatly limited the amount of time they could continue fighting.
Under such circumstances, it was definitely not an easy task to last for 72 hours in the Chaos Star Field. They had to accurately calculate every bit of energy.
Moreover, they were required to defeat ten warships. Battles were indispensable, and the energy consumption in battles could be imagined.
Therefore, not only did they have to fight, but they also had to plunder rare metals that could be used as energy. Only then would they be able to persevere.
One could imagine the difficulty of this mission. Even among the Federation's officially commissioned meteor-class assault ships, only the most elite fleets were capable of such a feat.
Lan Xuanyu sat in the main control seat of the warship, silently receiving various data summaries.
"Twenty-one minutes until we reach the Chaos Star System," Ding Zhuohan reported.
"Alright. Keep moving at a constant speed. "A constant speed is the most energy-efficient.
They had been to the Star Field of Chaos many times. They were very familiar with the situation here. However, it was different this time. Because they had no chance of failure.
This was a test for them as if they were actual combat, and only once. Because in the real world, failure meant death.
Lan Xuanyu calmly sensed the changes in the outside world, his spiritual power completely connected with the warship. At this moment, everyone was fully focused. Before the warship took off, Lan Xuanyu had told everyone to forget about gains and losses and give it their all. Everything else would be left to him.
In the Star Combat Experimental Class, everyone trusted Lan Xuanyu without any hesitation. This was because he had led everyone to create miracles time and time again. Hence, this time was no exception.
Twenty-one minutes passed in the blink of an eye. They had already arrived at the border of the Star Field of Chaos.
They were still not in a hurry to enter. The warship began to slowly circle around the Star Field of Chaos, looking for the best entry point.
However, the 72-hour countdown that appeared on the upper right corner of the screen did not start. This countdown would only start from the moment they entered the Star Field of Chaos.
The Star Field of Chaos was very quiet today. There were no explosions or rumbling sounds.
They were very patient. Soon, half an hour of cruising time had passed.
Cruising did not consume much energy. However, the longer they continued to drive, the greater the strain on the students' spiritual power. Continuously operating for 72 hours without rest did not require much physical strength from a soul master. However, they had to be fully focused on operating the warship, which required a lot of spiritual power.
At this moment, Ding Zhuohan's voice suddenly rang out. "There are slight energy fluctuations ahead to the right. I suspect that an invisible warship is approaching."
There was no movement inside, but there was movement coming from outside.
"Silence the entire ship." Lan Xuanyu gave the order without hesitation.
His voice could not only be heard by his companions, but also by the teachers who were watching the battle outside.
Hearing the words "silence the entire ship", Ying Luohong almost jumped up. The assessment had not officially started yet. How could Lan Xuanyu take such a risk?
The entire ship was silent. Naturally, it was not easy to be detected. However, the problem was that once the warship entered the silent state, it would take time for it to start again! If by any chance they encountered an indiscriminate attack from the opponent, they would be found out from the void. They would be in big trouble. It would be very difficult to counterattack.
However, Lan Xuanyu's order was issued so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
The warship quickly entered the silent state. All the energy systems were shut down. Only the stealth system was still maintained. In this case, it was very difficult to be discovered.
They were already very familiar with each other. When Lan Xuanyu gave the order for the entire ship to be silent, his classmates understood what he was going to do.
They were waiting, waiting for the same invisible warship to reveal itself. When the other party was about to enter the Star Field of Chaos, it would inevitably remove its stealth.
Their judgment was correct. Luck was also on their side.
A few minutes later, a battleship stealthily entered the Star Field of Chaos, revealing its true form.
"Main cannon charge. Warship start. "Lan Xuanyu immediately gave the order.
When the warship entered the Star Field of Chaos, it would be affected by the magnetic field of the Star Field. Not only would the warship's stealth be ineffective, but all kinds of detection radars would also be disturbed. This was also the reason why Lan Xuanyu and the others had to wait for the best opportunity to enter the Star Field of Chaos. Once they rashly entered, they would be attacked in the process. This was the most dangerous situation.
An opportunity like the one in front of them was really too hard to come by. The Star Field of Chaos was extremely vast. To be able to encounter a warship about to enter while cruising outside was absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. From this point of view, Lan Xuanyu and the others' luck in this graduation exam was absolutely quite good.
When the main cannon charged, it would naturally emit a strong energy fluctuation. However, the warship had just begun to enter the Star Field of Chaos. It was the time when all kinds of detection were at their weakest.
In the dark space, following Lan Xuanyu's order, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, almost chasing after the previous warship's butt and fiercely bombarding its tail.
Since the warship dared to enter the Star Field of Chaos, naturally, it was not weak. However, at this time, it had no choice. It could not even dodge, and was hit by Lan Xuanyu's main cannon.
In the violent explosion, the protective shield at the back of the warship exploded with an intense rain of light. The protective shield instantly became much more illusory. This was a direct hit from the warship's main cannon. There was no way to dodge or resist at all.
"Accelerate!" Lan Xuanyu gave the order to fully activate the thrusters. The more important it was at this time, the more they could not afford to be stingy with their energy reserves. Because once they entered a state of entanglement with the enemy, they would consume even more energy. It was definitely not as good as ending the battle quickly.
