My empire of stars

Speaking of aircraft carriers, we have to mention the new carrier-based aircraft.

The new carrier-based aircraft adopts a shuttle-shaped design. The head of the fighter is a laser drill used to dig underground passages. Once necessary, the new fighter can enter the enemy warship by drilling holes.

This new nose can also allow the fighter to drill into the ground, and its fuselage also hides two pairs of X-shaped cross wings. Once it enters the planet's atmosphere, the wings will unfold to provide it with lift and save energy.

The new carrier-based aircraft can be said to be omnipotent. When the manufacturing cost of dimensional armor decreases, these carrier-based aircraft will also be equipped with dimensional armor.

In the year 2203 of the Imperial Calendar, the Empire suddenly issued a recruitment letter to the active and retired soldiers of the Imperial Marines.

The Empire is about to hold a competition that all soldiers in the army must participate in. The content of the competition ranges from fighting skills, shooting, weapon use, vehicle driving, field survival ability to mental endurance limit, etc.

Once you get the top 100 in the competition, you will be recruited into the Spartan force.

That's right, this Spartan unit is a special unit designed by Li Mingze based on a game he played on Earth before, "Halo".

Each Spartan warrior will be equipped with the Empire's S-shaped power armor (an upgraded version that can run away without damage), and their armor will be coated with a layer of dimensional armor on the outer layer.

Each Spartan warrior will also be equipped with a 1.5-meter-long sword, which can not only perform physical attacks, but also create a light blade at the blade, and the entire sword can be heated to a high temperature of 4,000 degrees.

In addition to this sword, each warrior also has two light blades that pop out of his arms and two fully automatic shotguns.

The long-range weapon is a Gauss rifle, the ammunition of the rifle is a special armor-piercing bullet, and the inside is also filled with high-explosive energy modules.

Each bullet is a combination of armor-piercing + high-explosive bullets.

………………

A month later, combat skills competitions ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself began to be held in various imperial colonies.

Each military region will compete in this competition first, and two winners will participate in the competition on their planets.

The top three soldiers on each planet will advance to the star zone competition, and each star zone will select the top 500 to participate in the final imperial finals.

The imperial finals will finally select the top 100 to join the Spartan troops.

On the Imperial Ring World, as the most elite force of the empire, the Imperial Guards started the first round of competition in a military base.

Because the Imperial Guards were originally selected from the best to protect Li Mingze, and each Imperial Guard was once the first in the army, the Imperial Guards were treated as a separate star zone, and the top 500 best soldiers will be selected from them!

In the huge training ground, hundreds of thousands of elites who have been selected from various classes stood neatly on both sides of the training ground.

"Dear elites of the empire, you will compete in close combat next!"

"The training ground will be divided into 100 zones, with 10 soldiers in each zone. We will deploy combat robots into the venue, and hitting the fatal parts of these robots will paralyze them!"

"You will get one point for each robot paralyzed. The total time of the competition is five minutes!" After the host finished speaking, 100 zones appeared in the middle of the training ground, and the Imperial Guards who were ranked in front walked into the training ground in groups of ten.

The Imperial Guards are worthy of being the strongest soldiers of the empire. As soon as the robots were put into the venue, they could see that robots were constantly knocked down and paralyzed on the ground.

"Five minutes have passed! The highest score is 630 points! On average, two robots can be knocked down in one second!"

"The lowest score is 480 points! The gap with the first place is a bit obvious, but the points lost in close combat can be regained from shooting and other events. Don't be discouraged, contestants!" The highest and lowest scores appeared on the big screen behind the host.

The combat competition was soon over, and the next was the shooting competition.

Because the weapons have a long range, the competition venue was moved to the wild. A plain was divided into 10,000 pieces. All the contestants needed to take a spaceship to go to their own venues.

"The second item is the moving target shooting competition!"

"The competition lasts for a total of five minutes. The moving speed of the target in the first minute is 20 meters per second! The moving speed in the second minute is 40 meters per second! The moving speed in the third minute is 60 meters per second! The moving speed in the fourth minute is 80 meters per second! The moving speed in the fifth minute is 100 meters per second!"

"One point for each target in the first minute, two points for each in the second minute, three points for each in the third minute, and so on!"

"The competition begins now!" The host yelled, and drones rushed out of the underground passages one after another. Because it was the first minute, the speed of each drone was only 20 meters per second.

The contestants held the guns with both hands and kept pulling the triggers around and in the air. Everyone hit the target with every shot!

The same was true in the second minute. The shooting accuracy and speed of all soldiers did not decrease at all.

But in the third minute, some people began to make occasional mistakes.

By the fourth minute, the contestants' shooting speed had been greatly reduced. Originally, they could hit six or seven targets per second, but now they could only hit two or three targets. By the fifth minute, most people's shooting speed had dropped to two targets per second, and the error rate began to rise.

"Overtime! The target speed is 120 meters per second! If you hit the green light, you will get five points, if you hit the red light, you will lose three points!" The host suddenly shouted, and lights began to appear on all the drones.

The sudden changes did not disturb the players. Their extraordinary reaction ability prevented them from making any mistakes, and no one shot the red light target.

"This competition is evenly matched. It seems that everyone has trained the most on shooting. The next competition will test your ability to use various weapons."

"The best soldier is the one who can master various weapons as quickly as possible!" After the host said, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers began to squirm and turned into a variety of brand-new weapons.

However, this was not difficult for the elite soldiers of the empire. They got used to the recoil and accuracy of the new weapons in just a few seconds.

After the shooting competition is completed, the driving competition will follow. All contestants will switch to a total of twenty different means of transportation on a two-hundred-kilometer-long track. The first place to reach the finish line will receive a full score of one thousand points. After that, one second will be lost every night!

The entire track includes cities, waters, deserts, mountains and other terrains of all planets. Even gaseous planets are simulated in an indoor venue!
