Judging from the feedback at the scene, Great Lord Luo Mei had probably emphasized this point countless times already, to the point of becoming a cliché.
The reasoning seemed fairly straightforward as well.
Ronan could not say whether he truly understood it, but his current thoughts leaned more toward the level of Configuration. Roughly speaking:
No matter the scale of a battle, the entire battlefield was essentially an enormous, expanded Configuration framework. Things within it could be added or removed, altered, or worn down, but the Configuration Logic of the Tian Yuan System had to remain consistent throughout.
Whether it was the "Xuan Crystal Array," the "axis" Configuration, or the Level One and secondary "nodes" emphasized everywhere, together they formed from top to bottom the ideal model for the efficient operation of this systemic logic. All strategic planning, along with the tactical application principles for ships, bases, and personnel, unfolded around this "ideal model."
It even sounded somewhat like the rigid, stereotyped, and notoriously infamous "battle formations" from a certain period in Earth's history.
Yet these clichés and simple principles were the core that everyone in such a vast war had to grasp and uphold at all times. From them grew countless complex problems that required flexible responses.
There was a lifetime of learning in that alone.
Truly, a lifetime: on brutal interstellar battlefields, who knew how many people had turned to ashes along with collapsing warships and fallen bases before they could truly turn this theoretical knowledge into practical ability.
Likewise, many understood this principle. Even if it meant throwing away their lives, they would desperately carry out seemingly meaningless tactical orders, all to preserve some tiny possibility that might help the "ideal model" fully unfold.
Ronan's failed "Offline Test" last time, and the "Interactive Test" now underway, were
