StarCraft In the Palm of Your Hand Chapter 169

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight emitted by the artificial sun is at its strongest in the day. In order to give the trained mercenaries a harsher environment, the temperature in the City of Warriors is generally higher, with an average daily temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. , at two o'clock in the noon, it was hovering around forty degrees.

At this temperature, ordinary people will sweat profusely if they are exposed to the sun for a while, and only the indoor air conditioner can temporarily relieve the burning oppression.

According to Yusuf Gu, Worrell consumes a lot of energy in the city's central air-conditioning facilities every year to maintain this temperature.

Originally, in a place like the asteroid belt where there is insufficient light, it is difficult for the space city to be self-sufficient. The energy in the city can only be partially solved by solar power generation, and the remaining part must be made up by purchased energy ingots.

For a space city to be self-sufficient, at least it must be within the orbit of Mars, where there is sufficient sunlight.

If it weren't for the fact that the asteroid belt is rich in minerals, after excluding the consumption of energy ingots, there would still be a surplus, and there would never be any space city stationed here so far from the sun.

The location of the military exercise is not in the barracks, but...in the city, an exercise field specially prepared for various military exercises.

The training ground covers an area of ​​30 square kilometers, which takes up one-fifth of Worrell's land.

One can imagine how important its role is in Vorrell.

Both Yang Ying and Yusuf are sitting in the stands, and it is the private room on the top floor of the stands. There are the most luxurious facilities here. Twenty holographic screens can switch the images in the exercise field, and their signals are from the exercise field. The one hundred mobile cameras scattered in the field covered almost every corner of the entire field.

There is also a large holographic sand table in the center of the private room. The formation and battle process of the two parties participating in the exercise can be easily seen from the sand table.

The stands were crowded with people, almost over 50,000 people, crowded like ants.

"This is really a good place." Yang Ying sat down on a pure black high-end leather swivel chair and praised.

Brian and Katerina also found a seat beside Yang Ying, while the two ghost agents stood behind them without saying a word.

"This training ground is Vorrell's pride. The facilities are better than here. There will be no more than five in the entire solar system." Yousuf stretched out a palm and gestured. He was sitting on the other side of the room.

"After listening to what Mr. Yusuf said, I thought this military exercise was specially arranged for me, but seeing so many people in the field, I'm afraid this has already been arranged, right?" Yang Ying looked at Yusuf.

"Indeed, but this box is specially prepared for Your Excellency. If I didn't come with Your Excellency, even I wouldn't be qualified to come here." Yusuf explained.

Yang Ying looked into the field, and saw rows of buildings standing on the periphery of the practice field, some tall, some short, and the streets were intertwined, like a maze, or like a spider's web. In the center was a large park. There is a small lake with irregular shape, about one kilometer wide at its widest point, and a solitary pavilion is quietly built in the center of the lake.

"There is a flag in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. The two troops participating in the exercise need to start from their respective bases at both ends of the exercise field, go to the center of the lake to grab the flag, then capture the enemy base, and then plant the flag in the middle of the lake. The highest point of the enemy's base is considered a victory," Yusuf said.

"Here, is every exercise this project?" Yang Ying asked.

"Of course not." Yusuf said with a smile, "This practice field has many functions, and changing the terrain is one of them. Although it costs a lot, it is feasible. We can use twenty-four hours to transform the field It is not a problem to adjust to any known terrain, whether it is a city, a desert, a grassland, a mountain, or even an iceberg."

"I see." Yang Ying nodded.

Yousuf continued: "Commander Yang Ying came at the right time. Today is a special day. The party involved in the exercise is not from the mercenary camp, but from the military."

"Oh, I would like to hear the details." Yang Ying said.

Yusuf said in a chatty tone: "The front line of the battle between the Earth and the ancient legion has just stabilized in the orbit of Saturn. In order to launch a counterattack, the Earth Army has started to recruit troops again, preparing to rebuild the two major fleets that were lost on the defense line of the Double Kings. Recently Another special forces unit has finished training, and before they officially start to go on the battlefield, the top military officials wanted to find an opponent to test, so they found us."

"The Mercenary Alliance agreed to fight with them, and set up such a big venue?" Yang Ying asked casually.

"Of course they didn't agree casually. The military paid a commission and wanted to hire us a team of *-level mercenaries to carry out this battle." Yusuf snorted, "They thought the *-level mercenaries were Ordinary people walking all over the street are not enough, even in Worrell, there are no more than 500 top-level mercenaries, and each has their own affairs, so it is too busy to recruit them all to fight this battle with the special forces? "

Yang Ying listened on the sidelines without saying a word, waiting for Yusuf to continue.

Yusuf continued: "So after discussing with the military, we decided to send a group of B-level mercenaries to carry out this battle, that is, the group of mercenaries in the barracks where your Excellency is temporarily staying, who want to challenge the * level certificate. They are better than ordinary B-rank mercenaries, and they also hope to prove themselves in the battle with military special forces."

"I'm afraid the special forces of the military think so too." Yang Ying guessed.

Yusuf nodded: "That's right. The mercenaries have always believed that the first-level mercenaries surpassed the most elite special forces in the military, and the military has always been unconvinced. The special forces that came this time, although they have not yet formed an army , but the rank is very high, it belongs to the ranks of the ace special forces, and it is only the last test. Using the troops that will become the ace special forces against the troops that may become the first-level mercenaries, obviously, the military also wants to take this opportunity to prove something. "

Yang Ying looked at the lively scene in the stands below, and said: "It seems that this is a highly anticipated match, and there is a lot of pressure on both sides."

"The result of this battle has indeed attracted the attention of many people, both the military and the mercenary alliance. Even the largest gaming companies in the solar system have set up a gamble for the result of this exercise, and the flow of funds is hundreds of millions Note. I wonder if Captain Yang Ying is interested in taking a gamble?" Yusuf suggested.

"Did Mr. Yusuf also participate in the game?" Yang Ying asked back.

"I bet 10 million on the mercenaries. As a committee member of the alliance, of course I have more confidence in my own people. Hehe..." Yusuf patted his chest and said very confidently.

At this time, a loud and clear voice sounded in the arena: "The exercise will start in five minutes, and the exercise will start in five minutes. Please take part in the exercise!"

Yang Ying turned his gaze to the twenty holographic screens, which showed the preparations of the two sides in their respective bases.

Yang Ying looked at it, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. Two familiar figures appeared in the special forces base on the screen.

"How could it be them, Qingfeng and Mingyue from Taiji Temple? How did they go to join the army?" Yang Ying gradually stood up. He was deeply impressed by these two Taoist boys who had a relationship with him once.

Yang Ying was a little surprised. The Tai Chi Temple was located in the deep mountains, isolated from the world, and had never been associated with the army. It was something he had never imagined to see the breeze and bright moon again in the army.

"Captain Yang Ying, have you seen someone you know?" Yousuf has been dealing with people all year round, and he has already developed a pair of piercing eyes, and he can tell what's going on just by Yang Ying's expression.

"Indeed, there are two acquaintances." Yang Ying said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Yusuf is betting on the wrong side. This battle will end with the victory of the military special forces."

He still knows a little about the group of mercenaries in the barracks. Although they are well-trained, skilled in combat, and have their own advantages, none of them have personal memory, and they have inherent disadvantages when fighting the awakened ones.

"Your Excellency is so sure?" Yousuf asked displeasedly, he didn't understand why Yang Ying immediately concluded that the mercenary would be defeated when he saw two acquaintances.

"Yes, I'm sure." Yang Ying nodded. He looked at the figure of Qingfengmingyue on the screen, made up his mind, and asked, "Mr. Yusuf, where is the place to bet?"

"In the temporary tent on the east side at the bottom of the stand." Yusuf came to the window sill and pointed to a villsized white tent under the stand. The tent had an exit and an entrance.

At this time, the entrance was being crowded with swarms of people.

"Hey, there are so many people who are interested in this gamble, it's beyond my expectation." Yusuf frowned, and then added: "If you want to bet, you have to act faster. The drill will start in three minutes, and the betting will stop at that time."

Yang Ying listened~www.mtlnovel.com~ immediately took out a platinum card from his pocket, and handed it to a ghost agent: "Go and bet two billion on the special forces for me, and it will be completed within three minutes." .”

"Yes, sir!" Agent Ghost took the platinum card, immediately left the private room and ran away.

"Two billion? Do you want to burn money?" Yousuf glanced down again and saw hundreds of people crowded at the door of the tent. Said: "It's not easy to squeeze in. Captain Yang Ying should not have too much hope. In addition, I really don't agree with your statement that mercenaries must be defeated. The strength of B-level mercenaries Still trustworthy and I know them very well.”

"But you don't know this group of special forces, do you?" Yang Ying asked with a smile.

Yang Ying also looked down the stage, and saw that the ghost agent had rushed to the stage and squeezed into the crowd, like a swimming fish, parting the flow of people in front of him. There was no gap in front of him, so he squeezed out a gap. Then he rushed through the crowd of hundreds of people.

"Hey, master!" Yusuf's eyes widened in an instant. From his perspective, he had seen many first-level mercenaries, and in his opinion, the skills of the ghost agent had the strength of a first-level mercenary.
