Chapter 178 Simulation

Qin Yiming’s computer screen displayed the data battle program he had personally written. On the screen, two opposing forces were engaged in combat, and as the battle grew increasingly fierce, even Li Tianran, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Boom!"

A booming electronic sound blasted from the speakers, and the words "endofsimulation" appeared in large letters on the computer screen, indicating that the simulated war had ended.

"What's the result?" Li Tianran asked softly.

"In ten simulated battles, we won seven times and they won three." Qin Yiming shifted his gaze from the screen and rubbed his temples wearily. "Overall, our chances of winning are better."

Indeed, as his strength soared, Li Tianran wanted to know where he stood in the world and what kind of enemies he could face and remain undefeated!

So he had Qin Yiming run a test in his simulation program. The opponent chosen was the Second Division of the Eastern Military District of Russia, a division with a full complement of 19,000 troops, consisting of two mechanized infantry brigades, each with an armored composite regiment, a naval aviation regiment, and an air force squadron!

This was a mixed division. To be precise, it did not belong to any one branch of the military, because it simultaneously possessed all three: land, sea, and air. Moreover, the division commander had the authority to directly request the launch of intercontinental missiles. It could be said to be the most special and perfect division in the Russian army, with almost no weaknesses in firepower. To defeat it, there was no room for trickery; only a head-on, hard-fought battle could crush it!

"Seventy percent... that ratio isn't high enough." Li Tianran frowned, dissatisfied with the simulation result. He felt that with the current strength of Kuangxi Island, the win rate against a division composed purely of traditional weapons and conventional troops should be at least ninety percent, if not one hundred.

Qin Yiming also looked troubled. He stared at the computer screen and said helplessly, "Boss, the results of this kind of simulation aren't accurate enough anymore. Whether it's tanks, fighter jets, or even aircraft carriers, their combat power and destructive capabilities are fixed! They can all be perfectly replicated with data!"

"But it's hard to replicate the Evolvers in the Pioneer Legion with rigid data because they're people, Evolvers with special abilities! Many factors influence their combat effectiveness, such as emotions and environment. It's possible for two Evolvers with identical data to have drastically different kill counts due to differences in their emotional states."

"And it's hard for the program to grasp the direction of these abilities. These different abilities... when used at different times, the final results are also different."

"To take all factors and variables into account and arrive at a final win rate, we'd need at least hundreds of thousands of simulated battles."

"Only that result would be closest to the true probability."

Qin Yiming said softly, "Perhaps that result would meet your expectations."

Li Tianran thought seriously for a moment, then asked, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Qin Yiming raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat astonished, and stammered, "Boss, you... you're not really treating Russia as our hypothetical enemy, are you? Isn't it a bit too early, given our current strength?"

"Early? I don't think so!" Li Tianran shook his head, speaking with great determination. "We need to think long-term! I'm not only going to treat Russia as a hypothetical enemy, but all the world's strong nations could become our enemies. We have to prepare in advance for war with anyone, so that we won't be caught off guard when war really comes."

To make the whole world your enemy?

Well, it sounded pretty chuuni… (delusional).

But on second thought, Li Tianran had already offended the top three world powers, so a future war with the whole world wasn't impossible.

Qin Yiming stole a glance at Li Tianran and sighed with some sympathy.

Saying to think long-term, wasn't it just because he had offended too many people and was feeling a little insecure and scared?

Li Tianran didn't notice Qin Yiming's gaze. The world situation had changed greatly recently, with friction constantly occurring between several major powers, and some crazy warlords and terrorist organizations were using large-scale radioactive water to create Evolvers among the civilian population, forming their own Evolver teams.

Every force was frantically expanding its power.

During this time, the Evolver squads of Russia and the EU had clashed several times. The cause was said to be that the teams from the two countries had simultaneously chosen a ruined city as a training ground, and a dispute over the division of spoils had led to a major fight.

But this was just the superficial appearance.

Li Tianran knew very well that behind these accidental conflicts, the two major powers wanted to test how armed and powerful each other's Evolver squads had become.

And in this chaotic world, some warlords and terrorist organizations were also taking advantage of the chaos to seize territory and desperately build momentum for themselves, constantly provoking powerful nations, showing a tendency to rise up in the chaos.

The most famous of these was the terrorist organization known as the "Kingdom of Heaven." Their leader was a major warlord from the Saudi region who used cruel methods to create a large number of Evolver troops. Relying on his past wealth, he quickly rose to prominence after the Destruction Era, constantly clashing with the EU and carrying out numerous attacks against them.

Whenever EU troops were attacked in a certain area, regardless of the size of the incident, the leader of the "Kingdom of Heaven" would immediately jump out and claim responsibility for the attack. Even when the EU President was discovered to have some stains on his suit at a press conference a few days ago, the leader of the "Kingdom of Heaven" announced that he had sent someone to secretly smear them on.

This kind of bottomless attacks and "蹭热度" (ceng re du - trend-chasing) behavior infuriated the EU, but they didn't have a good way to deal with the "Kingdom of Heaven" because the leader was very cunning. With the world's three major powers standing in a balance of power, he only provoked the EU and never offended the other two countries.

Russia and Yan Huang were both watching and restraining the EU. If the EU sent out a large number of troops, they would definitely be blocked by these two strong countries. If they sent out a small number of troops, it would be difficult to inflict any significant damage on the "Kingdom of Heaven."

In this situation, the "Kingdom of Heaven" organization, despite jumping around so fiercely, had not been eliminated. Instead, as its popularity rose, it gathered a large number of deserters and followers, and its influence grew stronger.

"Damn, so that's why the EU never thoroughly investigated the fighter jet incident where I shot down those planes. Turns out someone was taking the blame for me..." Li Tianran rubbed his nose and smiled. "Good!"

Sizzle!

A burst of static came from Li Tianran's walkie-talkie, indicating that someone was about to speak to him. He pressed the button and said, "Go ahead."

From the other end came Lan Ning's hoarse and weary, yet excited voice:

"Boss Li, I've finished your nuclear weapon encryption system and the new control system for the White Swan!"
