736: When I asked you to play, it was like I was harming you.

Exterminating the Guang Yao is a technical job.

After thinking it over and failing to come up with a better idea, Yang Dian decided to first resolve the war currently breaking out on Niu Ru Ren Star.

Judging by the current situation, the Niu Ru Ren can be considered good people.

Good people shouldn't have to endure so much fear and anxiety; the right thing to do is to restore Niu Ru Ren Star to its former harmony and stability as quickly as possible.

While lost in thought, he returned to the outer space of Niu Ru Star.

As soon as he appeared, Ya Zi began reporting the battle results to Yang Dian.

"Commander, 98% of the Guang Yao Civilization's ground forces have been destroyed. The remaining 2% have hidden deep underground and underwater. We are currently dispatching Machina and Expeditionary Force soldiers to pursue them. We expect to completely eliminate the remaining Guang Yao Civilization resistance forces on Niu Ru Star within three days."

"36% of the Guang Yao Civilization's fleet in the cosmic environment has been destroyed. The Guang Yao Civilization's will to resist and their fleet's combat capabilities are stronger than we imagined."

"Our ground forces lost 37,653 various Machina mechs and 3,563 stealth fighters. Due to delayed rescue efforts, 166,366 Niu Ru Ren died. Expeditionary Force combat casualties are zero, but 369 individuals have activated [Expeditionary Force Auxiliary Cultivation System Function One] for various reasons."

"That is, when encountering a life-threatening crisis, the space-time energy within the auxiliary cultivation System is activated, teleporting them to a safe area on the Emerald Dragon Star."

"In the space battle, we lost 7 star destroyers, 72 early warning and control ships, and 1,336 special-grade mechs..."

"After analysis, we have identified 36 shortcomings in the space battle. We have recorded the relevant information, which can be avoided in the next war, or used to exchange the minimum cost for the greatest war advantage."

"For example, using a large number of decoy units to disguise main combat units, attracting the enemy's heavy firepower..."

"Additionally, in the ground war, 96.206% of the death crises could have been avoided."

"However, because of the existence of [When encountering a death crisis, System Function One: Ultra-Long-Distance Teleportation will be activated], some Expeditionary Force soldiers have become careless, failing to notice or avoid dangers that should have been noticed and avoided, leading to the activation of Function One."

"This mindset is very dangerous."

"The Universe is incredibly dangerous, and there's no telling when Function One might fail."

"Therefore, I believe we should train and warn the Expeditionary Force soldiers so they don't lose their sense of awe toward the Universe and other civilizations just because they know [Function One] exists."

Yang Dian nodded upon hearing this: "What you say makes a lot of sense."

"Treat this problem as a serious matter to be resolved."

"Not only should we train and warn the soldiers, but we must also make it a rule."

"If [Function One] is activated due to their own carelessness, there will be a public reprimand across the entire army."

Thinking of this, Yang Dian decided that for all Systems issued in the future, [Function One] would be hidden directly.

There are too many little daredevils in Huaxia.

If these little daredevils knew [Function One] existed, they would truly find ways to court death, just to experience personal interdimensional teleportation and see what the Emerald Dragon Star is all about.

Recording Yang Dian's words in its work log, Ya Zi continued: "Additionally, through this war, we have discovered many shortcomings."

"For example, Huaxia's ground defense is too monotonous; it can only defend against tangible attacks, has limited defensive capabilities against intangible attacks, and has almost no means of resistance against close-range, light-speed level attacks."

"Although the Planet Destroyer Cannon researched by Dr. Bai is powerful, its attack frequency is too low, and the angle adjustment of the muzzle is too obvious, making it easy to dodge."

"Based on combat experience and suggestions from the live stream comments, the existence of the Planet Destroyer Cannon in the form of a 'cannon' is a failure."

"Perhaps we can optimize the way the Planet Destroyer Cannon exists by building it into the ship's plating and inside the hull."

"When firing, instead of extending a muzzle to aim at the Alien Planet fleet, it would fire directly through the star destroyer's deck and plating, attacking the target directly and maximizing stealth."

"The muzzle can still exist, but it would serve more as a decoy device to attract the enemy fleet's attention..."

...

Huaxia had never fought a space war before.

Regarding space warfare, most of it had been various simulations conducted in virtual environments based on Huaxia's own understanding of war.

This war against the Guang Yao Civilization has brought extremely valuable war experience to Huaxia.

According to Ya Zi, it could write a report tens of millions of words long to elaborate on the shortcomings of the Huaxia space fleet in cosmic warfare and supplement how to optimize those shortcomings with tactics or technological upgrades.

In the outer space of Niu Ru Star, Yang Dian did not offer any comments while listening to Ya Zi's exposition.

Leave professional matters to the professionals.

He is just strong; he isn't omnipotent.

Space warfare is something that should be left to the AI or other relevant personnel to optimize.

He doesn't need to use his brain; he just needs to sit quietly on the wreckage of the starship and wait for the war to end.

Yang Dian lay down comfortably, even pulling the Little Black Cat out of his pet space, and started petting the cat, one stroke after another.

Most people watching the live stream were also satisfied.

After all, you don't usually get to see starship-level, super-sized fireworks.

But a very small number of people, watching the images in the live stream, saw their expressions gradually turn ferocious.

Earth - Huaxia - Northwest - The recently established Huaxia First Military Academy.

At first, Lu Shaoqiu, who was sitting in his dormitory watching the space war live stream on his computer, was excited.

After all, the major he chose was Space War Command, and what he would do in the future was to command countless fleets across the sea of stars.

The scene on the screen was what he would experience in the future.

"Lao Yu, you have to know."

Lu Shaoqiu was on a video call with his childhood friend: "My life should be as brilliant as the explosion of a star destroyer in war."

"There will eventually be a grand, magnificent, and perfect war that will make me appear before the eyes of the entire nation."

"In the future, I will command countless starships across the sea of stars and conquer one cosmic territory after another for Huaxia."

"I will become a hero."

On the other side of the video, Yu Le, who was also watching the live stream with boiling blood and had rewarded himself with 800 push-ups under 80 times gravity in his excitement, rolled his eyes: "Commanding countless starships across the sea of stars, conquering cosmic territories, and becoming a hero."

"Lao Lu, you damn well better graduate first."

"I heard that nobody has ever graduated from your major."

Lu Shaoqiu was indignant: "What do you mean nobody has ever graduated? How long has our school been established? Isn't it normal that nobody has graduated yet? Let me tell you, I..."

Watching his childhood friend suddenly freeze on the other side of the screen, Yu Le waved his hand in front of the camera: "What? Lagging?"

"That shouldn't be."

"What era is this? Still having bad signal?"

Coming back to his senses from Yu Le's words, and looking at the class assignment text message he had just received, Lu Shaoqiu's high-spirited face gradually wilted.

[Class Assignment: Using the (Huaxia Expeditionary Force - Guang Yao Civilization Fleet War) as a blueprint, elaborate on our army's strengths and weaknesses in space warfare, and explain how to amplify the advantages and resolve the disadvantages. Using this as the topic, write a war thesis of at least 100,000 words, to be submitted within two days...]

Sharing his class assignment with his childhood friend, Lu Shaoqiu began to distressingly mangle his own hair: "Damn it, a 100,000-word essay in two days, and it has to be well-structured, can't communicate with other classmates, have to think of it all by myself."

"Is this an assignment that a human could come up with?"

"Is the mentor even human~"

Yu Le, who had started doing squats in the multi-gravity environment on the other side, laughed: "I told you to take the Martial Arts Academy entrance exam with me back then, but you wouldn't listen, insisting on taking the Space War Command major."

"Know what it's like to be annoyed now?"

"Back when I asked you to play, it was like I was trying to harm you."

"Just go and write it..."
