January 5th, 60th year of the federal calendar.
The first mecha competition of the Federation Fleet has begun, and the people attending the opening ceremony are really a bit beyond Lin Fan's expectations.
In addition to Liang Xingchen, a large group of senior military and political officials, including Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet Sanders, Federal Vice President Ed, Dean of the Interstellar Military Academy Li Fulai, etc., all came over. The people on the entire rostrum were extremely valuable.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet, the final participants in this competition were also students from the Federation Fleet's Lunar Headquarters and the Interstellar Military Academy.
However, these two places only sent a small number of the most elite pilots, and they only participated in single-player and small-team competitions. Only the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet participated in the legion competition.
"Lin Fan, is this the first time we've met?"
Old Marshal Sanders came to Lin Fan and greeted him kindly!
"Yes, Marshal Sanders, you are the anchor of the Federation fleet, and you have always been the person I admire the most!"
Lin Fan's words were not hypocritical, but he truly admired the old marshal.
You know, the person in front of you is no less famous than Liang Xingchen. Sanders's military career can be said to have witnessed the history of the entire Federation. He joined the army at the age of 16 and is now 88 years old. His military career has spanned 72 years. , longer than the history of the Federation.
In particular, the old marshal in front of him was the first commander of the first fleet of the federal fleet, and was also the commander who led the fleet to capture Proxima and Barnard.
However, after Sanders captured Barnard, he returned to the Moon Headquarters after being promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Federation Fleet, and therefore did not participate in commanding the subsequent battle against the Oaks Empire.
There is even a saying in the Federation that if Sanders had still commanded the fleet at the forefront, the outcome of the entire battle might have changed. Even if humanity was still defeated in the early stage, it would not have been defeated so quickly and miserably. !
There is another thing that few people know. Liang Xingchen was taught all his skills by Sanders. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as a close disciple of Sanders.
"What a sea-fixing needle, it's too exaggerated. Speaking of which, I still want to thank you!"
"Thank me?"
"Of course, you have to know that as a veteran of more than 70 years, I have witnessed the history of the Federation! I have witnessed the glory and decline of the Federation fleet! I thought I didn't have much time left, but now because of your genetic enhancement potion, I can I have at least an extra hundred years of life, so that I can continue to witness the rise of the Federation fleet again, shouldn’t I be grateful to you?”
"Marshal, don't worry. In the future, with the further development of gene-enhancing drugs, human lifespan will continue to increase. Marshal will not only witness the rise of the Federation fleet again, but also witness humanity's dominance of the Orion Arm, the galaxy, and even Finally dominate the entire universe!"
"Okay, okay, okay! I'm relieved to have a young generation like you in the Federation fleet!"
After Sanders heard Lin Fan's heroic words, his eyes widened. Even he had never had such an ambition to dominate the entire universe!
But then he immediately thought of what Lin Fan had accomplished in the past few years. Whether it was technological research and development capabilities or fleet command capabilities, he could be said to be the most evil being in the entire history of mankind.
Maybe with Lin Fan, the federation might one day be able to dominate the universe. Sanders also had greater expectations in his heart, and couldn't help but shout three good words in a row!
Shortly after chatting with Sanders, the first mecha competition of the Federation Fleet officially began.
In this competition, more than 380,000 people participated in the individual competition, more than 8,000 teams participated in the team competition, and the first fleet and the fourth fleet participated in the legion competition.
Due to the large number of participants, even though the schedule was scheduled for three months, it was still very stressful.
Especially the group knockout matches are played at a very fast pace. As long as they are not eliminated, more than 10 games will be played every day!
In the Kuiper Belt, the staff has already divided 40 areas, divided into 32 combat areas for the individual group stage and 8 areas for the team group stage.
Each group area in the individual knockout competition is subdivided into 100 small areas. Therefore, each group can conduct 100 individual knockout matches at the same time!
A group of big guys also came to the Ouranos to watch the battle.
"Lin Fan, this tiger must be the captain of the Guards Mecha Squadron on your ship!"
Liang Xingchen pointed to a venue in the virtual projection where a personal knockout competition was taking place and said.
One of the mechas defeated the opponent in less than 10 seconds. Liang Xingchen's eyes lit up. After looking at the names of the two people on the screen, he remembered that this seemed to be Lin Fan's Ouranos. Captain of the Guards Mecha Squadron.
"Yes, it's him!"
Lin Fan smiled and replied.
Lin Fan was not surprised at all by Zhang Hu's performance. This guy had to compete with Lin Fan almost every day.
Although he has been abused by Lin Fan all the time, with a score of 1705 battles and 1705 losses so far, his strength has steadily improved during the abuse. According to Lin Fan's estimation, Zhang Hu's strength can now be classified into the A+ level of the system. They can be regarded as the strongest group of pilots in mankind.
"This guy here is not bad. According to the information, he is only 19 years old. He is younger than Lin Fan, and he is also a student of the Interstellar Military Academy!"
Sanders pointed to another part of the virtual screen with some excitement. One mecha was fighting another mecha. It seemed that the winner would be determined soon.
Although he was not as quick as Zhang Hu to defeat his opponent, Lin Fan's judgment showed that this pilot, who was still a student, had the same A+ level driving skills as Zhang Hu, but his opponent was also an A-level elite pilot, so he It took a little longer.
"Yes, this little guy's name is Li Cangqiong. Although he is not as comprehensive as Lin Fan, he should be no less evil than Lin Fan in the mecha field!"
Li Fulai also said with a proud face, after all, this is a participating student of the college, and his face looks bright!
"Lin Fan, what do you think?"
Liang Xingchen looked at Li Fulai's proud look and asked Lin Fan.
After all, in terms of mechas, Lin Fan is now the strongest among everyone here!
"It's really good. He's about the same strength as Zhang Hu. The key is that he's only 19 years old, and he has such strength without having been baptized in actual combat. He can indeed become a monster!"
"How does it compare to you now?"
"Well, you can already hold it in my hand for 2 or 3 minutes!"
"Pfft, is your mecha so powerful? Why didn't I know?"
Li Fulai was shocked by Lin Fan's words and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.
He knew about Lin Fan's scientific research prowess, and also knew about Lin Fan's commanding ability, but Lin Fan's mecha driving ability was equally monstrous? I really don’t know this!
"Dean, Lin Fan is called the strongest pilot in mankind. Do you really think this is a gimmick by the Federation?"
"Is not it?"
Now everyone was shocked by Li Fulai. Do you really think so
Thanks to [Science Fiction Fan Best] for providing the name "Li Cangqiong" in the name collection activity.
