Federation Year January 5, 60.
Federal Fleet The first mecha competition 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 high-ranking military and political officials, including Commander-in-Chief of the Space Fleet Saunders, Federal Vice President Ed, Dean Interstellar Military Academy Li Fulai, etc., all came over. The people on the rostrum were extremely valuable.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to First Fleet and Fourth Fleet, those who finally participated in this competition were later joined by students from Federal Fleet Lunar Headquarters and 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 team competitions. Only First Fleet and Fourth Fleet participated in the legion competition.
"Lin Fan, is this the first time we meet?"
Old Marshal Sanders came to Lin Fan and greeted him kindly!
"Yes, Marshal Saunders, you are Federal Fleet's Dinghai Shenzhen, and you have always been the person I admire the most!"
Lin Fan These words are not hypocritical, but true admiration for this old marshal.
You know, the reputation of the person in front of you is no less than that of Liang Xingchen. Saunders'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. Saunders's military career has been a full 72 years, which is longer than the history of Federation Year.
In particular, the old marshal in front of him was the first commander of the first fleet of Federal Fleet, and the commander who led the fleet to win Proxima and Barnard's Star.
It's just that after Saunders captured Barnard's Star, he returned to the Lunar Headquarters because he was promoted to Commander-in-Chief Federal Fleet, so he did not participate in the subsequent battle against the Oakes Empire.
There is even a saying in the Federation that if Saunders 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 learned all his skills from Saunders. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as Saunders's disciple.
"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 Federal Fleet! I thought I didn't have much time left, but now because of your genetic enhancement potion, I have at least an extra hundred years of life, so that I can continue to witness the rise of Federal Fleet again. Shouldn't I thank you?"
"Marshal, rest assured that with the further development of gene-enhancing drugs in the future, human lifespan will continue to increase. Marshal will not only be able to witness the rise of Federal Fleet again, but also witness humans dominating this Orion Arm, dominating this Milky Way, and eventually dominating the entire universe!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Federal Fleet With a young generation like you, I feel relieved!"
Saunders's eyes widened after hearing Lin Fan's heroic words. Even he had never had such an ambition, to dominate the entire universe!
But then I immediately thought of what Lin Fan has done in the past few years. Whether it is technology research and development capabilities or fleet command capabilities, it can be said to be the most evil existence in the entire human history.
Maybe with Lin Fan, the Federation might be able to dominate the universe one day. Saunders also had greater expectations in his heart, and he couldn't help shouting three good words in a row!
Shortly after chatting with Saunders, Federal Fleet's first mecha competition 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 First Fleet and 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 Kuiper Belt, the staff department 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 tournament 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 Uranus to watch the battle.
"Lin Fan, this Zhang Hu is the captain of Guard Mech 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, which made Liang Xingchen's eyes light up. After looking at the names of the two people on the screen, he remembered that this seemed to be the captain Guard Mech Squadron on Lin Fan Uranus.
"Yes, it's him!"
Lin Fan smiled and replied.
Regarding Zhang Hu's performance, Lin Fan was not surprised at all. This guy had to compete with Lin Fan almost every day.
Although he has been abused by Lin Fan, and his score so far is 1705 battles and 1705 losses, his strength has steadily improved during the abuse. According to Lin Fan's estimation, Zhang Hu's strength can now be classified as the A+ level of the system, and he 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!"
Saunders 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 did not defeat his opponent as quickly as Zhang Hu, after Lin Fan's judgment, this pilot was still a student, and his driving level was the same as Zhang Hu's A+ level. However, his opponent was also an A-level elite pilot, so 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 field of mechas alone!"
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 point is that he's only 19 years old, and he has such strength without being 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 knows Lin Fan's scientific research strength, and he also knows Lin Fan's commanding ability, but Lin Fan Mech Piloting's abilities are equally evil? I really don't know this!
"Dean, Lin Fan is called Humanity's Strongest Mech Pilot. Do you really think it is a federal stunt?"
"Isn't 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.
