Pei Zijing's heart clenched suddenly, then expanded just as quickly.
The amount of blood flowing from his heart seemed to have doubled! His heart pounded, the sound emanating from Pei Zijing's chest. He figured Xia Chujian could probably hear his heartbeat through the internal communication system.
But Xia Chujian had no time to listen to his heartbeat at the moment.
Her full attention was on maintaining the warplane's top speed.
If she could hold this seventy-two kilometers per minute for thirty seconds, it would be an official record.
And for the Eagle-type warplane's engine, Xia Chujian felt she was already pushing it to the limit.
Any faster, and the engine would probably explode...
Xia Chujian stabilized the speed, then gradually slowed down, flying back to the base.
Pei Zijing looked at the internal time system and discovered that Xia Chujian had maintained this seventy-two kilometers per minute for three minutes!
As long as the warplane safely reached the base, and the internal data and training recorder were uploaded and archived, this record was a sure thing.
Breaking the speed records of three types of Ground Fighters in two days...
This new recruit was fierce! Pei Zijing couldn't have been more excited.
...
Xia Chujian piloted the Eagle-type warplane back to the training hangar.
Yu Fei, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi had just come out of the adjacent simulation training room.
Pei Zijing got out of the warplane first, smiling as he said, "Yu Fei, you take the recruits and continue training. I need to take Xia Chujian to the office to handle some procedures."
"What procedures?" Xia Chujian also jumped out of the warplane, asking curiously.
Pei Zijing turned back, looking at her with a smile, and said, "You've broken three records. Today, I'm going to report them all to the Military. They should send someone down to double-check soon, so be prepared."
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi were overjoyed, rushing over to hug Xia Chujian.
If Pei Zijing and Yu Fei weren't here, they would have lifted her up and thrown her into the air! Xia Chujian was also happy, but she maintained her composure, asking Pei Zijing, "Chief Instructor Pei, what about my classes?"
Pei Zijing said, "Today is Tuesday, and it's only morning. After I report this, the Military should have people at the base by tomorrow morning."
"There will be an assessment tomorrow. From now until tomorrow, you can stay in the simulation training room to consolidate your flight experience, and also write three flight experience reports."
"They will probably ask you in detail, especially about the Eagle-type warplane. You've increased the actual top speed to the point of exceeding the theoretical top speed. The Chief Engineer of the Eagle-type warplane's research and development might even come to see you."
Xia Chujian was curious, "...Why would the Chief Engineer come to see me?"
Pei Zijing explained carefully, "Because the theoretical top speed is proposed by the Chief Engineer. Since it's the theoretical top speed, that means it's theoretically impossible to exceed that speed. And the theoretical top speed means a speed that can't be reached in a real-world environment. You not only reached it but exceeded it by so much, they'll definitely want to know why. This can also promote the research and development of new generation warplanes."
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up, "Really?! Is there a reward?"
She was thinking of Su Buyan. She had given the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha two suggestions, and Su Buyan had given her so many rewards! Pei Zijing choked, "...Reward? You will be remembered in history, isn't that a big reward?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Yu Fei chimed in sarcastically, "Remembered in history? Xia Chujian, the name you'll leave behind is: 'A Kanli Star Flight Training Base Recruit.' -- Do you think the three words 'Xia Chujian' will be written in the Military records?"
What he didn't say was that even the test pilot who had sacrificed himself only left behind the three words "test pilot."
Name?
Heh, did a commoner really think they could be remembered in history?
Dream on...
Xia Chujian didn't really care whether her name would be left in the Military records, and she was very clear that this was a fake identity. If she really became famous in history, and then her identity was revealed to be false, that would be a huge joke...
She wanted real material rewards, not empty promises.
Xia Chujian asked calmly, "Instructor Yu, I only made a small contribution, being remembered in history is too much, I won't join in the fun. Chief Instructor Pei, are there any other rewards?"
Pei Zijing's mouth twitched.
He could tell that this girl probably wanted material rewards, not the honor and merit he valued.
Coming from a common background, her vision was just not good enough.
Pei Zijing sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on the surface, smiling as he said, "The base will consider appropriate rewards, and will also notify your fleet."
Xia Chujian: "..."
I'm screwed.
She had to contact Meng Guanghui quickly.
Xia Chujian put on an embarrassed expression and said, "Thank you, Chief Instructor Pei! Thank you to the fleet for the cultivation! Thank you to the base for the opportunity! — Could I go back to the dormitory to rest first?"
"No problem, you go back first. Is half an hour enough? After half an hour, come to the Chief Instructor's office at the base." Pei Zijing nodded and left first.
After Pei Zijing left, Xia Chujian said to Yu Fei and her roommates, "Then I won't disturb you, I'll go back to the dormitory first."
She had to contact Meng Guanghui quickly! ...
Still on the way back to the dormitory, Xia Chujian used her Smart Bracelet to send a message to Meng Guanghui.
[Xia Chujian]: Urgent, reply ASAP!
Then, it wasn't until she entered the dormitory that Meng Guanghui's message finally arrived late.
[Meng Guanghui]: Just in a meeting, what's wrong?
[Xia Chujian]: Chief, I don't know if I'm causing you trouble...
[Meng Guanghui]: Just say what's up! Quickly!
[Xia Chujian]: Okay, it's like this. I broke the actual top speed and theoretical top speed records for the Harrier-type, Owl-type, and Eagle-type Ground Fighters, except for the Harrier-type Fighter's theoretical top speed, because the Harrier-type Fighter's engine design has problems, and its theoretical top speed is derived somehow, but it's about to explode before it even reaches that speed. Finished.
[Meng Guanghui]: !!! What a mess! Say it in a video!
As he said that, Meng Guanghui initiated a video call invitation.
Xia Chujian clicked accept.
Then, a virtual display screen appeared, showing Meng Guanghui's background in a conference room.
Meng Guanghui asked her, "Explain clearly, what exactly is going on? Do you not use punctuation marks when you send messages?
Xia Chujian looked slightly aggrieved: "You told me to just say what's up, and quickly! I could only say everything in one breath, I didn't have time to add punctuation marks."
Meng Guanghui waved his hand with a headache: "Alright, alright, say it again, explain it clearly, what record breaking? You've only been there for two days, how did you break another record?"
He didn't say the words out loud, which were that you went to practice flying, not to compete in shooting, how could there be so many records for you to break!
If it was breaking a shooting record, Meng Guanghui wouldn't be surprised at all.
For example, when they first entered the base, Xia Chujian broke the record for killing Remnant Species with a gun, and Meng Guanghui thought it was normal.
But a flying record...
Meng Guanghui felt that if he didn't have senile dementia yet, he remembered that Xia Chujian only knew how to drive Flying Vehicles.
Fighters? That didn't exist, the Dark Night Hunter Association didn't have such awesome things for their Hunters to practice with.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to say again: "These past two days, we've been learning to drive Ground Fighters. After I got into the cockpit, I broke the actual top speed record for the Harrier-type Fighter, and then I broke the actual and theoretical top speed records for the Owl-type Fighter, and finally I broke the actual and theoretical top speed records for the Eagle-type Fighter."
"I couldn't break the theoretical top speed record for the Harrier-type Fighter, I think it's because the Harrier-type Fighter's engine design has problems. When the speed increased to fifty kilometers per minute, the engine exploded. Oh, right, when I was training yesterday, I blew up a training plane, a Harrier-type Fighter. But I'm fine, I parachuted, don't worry..."
Xia Chujian intentionally or unintentionally put the matter of her Fighter exploding and her having to parachute at the end.
Because she felt a little guilty, like the kind of guilt of accidentally doing something wrong and worrying about Aunt's punishment.
Meng Guanghui was completely stunned.
She had only been at the base for two days, and she was about to blow up the base... no, turn it upside down?!
Meng Guanghui murmured, "Let me take a breather..."
He closed the video call and said to Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing in the conference room, "Marshal Huo, Shan Xing, let me tell you something, guess if it's true."
Then, he repeated what Xia Chujian had just told him, word for word.
Before Huo Yushen could speak, Kang Shanxing blurted out, "That's impossible! I still have some understanding of those three types of Ground Fighters, the actual top speed and theoretical top speed records have been around for twenty years! How could she break them as soon as she went?! Has she learned this kind of driving technology before?!"
Meng Guanghui shook his head frantically: "No, no! She definitely hasn't learned it before! She's only eighteen years old, she joined the Dark Night Hunter Association four years ago, and she only learned how to drive Flying Vehicles!"
Kang Shanxing recovered and said thoughtfully, "Then she still has some driving experience, I feel it's more reliable. If she doesn't have any flying experience at all, and she breaks the record as soon as she gets into the cockpit, then she's not human, she's a god, the god of Fighters!"
Meng Guanghui smiled wryly, glanced quickly at the silent Huo Yushen, and said, "Actually, she only has preliminary Flying Vehicle driving experience, no Fighter driving experience at all. What we arranged for her was the Flight Training Base on Kanli Star. Shan Xing, you also know that base, it's actually a base for special training for the Chief Pilots of the Starry Sky Fighters of the Starship Fleets, not a base for training recruits."
These words left Kang Shanxing speechless.
The two of them looked at Huo Yushen together.
Huo Yushen then said, "What exactly did she want from you? To show off that she broke the record?"
Meng Guanghui suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Let me ask again!"
Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing: "...".
Meng Guanghui smiled embarrassedly and reconnected the video call with Xia Chujian.
This time, he allowed everyone in the conference room to see and hear Xia Chujian speak.
Of course, Xia Chujian didn't know that others were present when she was talking to Meng Guanghui.
She just said anxiously, "Chief, why did you suddenly drop the line? I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Meng Guanghui awkwardly told a lie: "There may have been a starry sky magnetic field storm, which affected the network connection between the Star Network. It's fine now, go ahead."
Xia Chujian said, "It's like this, didn't I break the record? The chief instructor of this Flying Base said that he would report my results and also pass on the good news to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet where I am... I'm worried that they will investigate my personal history, or identity!"
Only then did Meng Guanghui understand that Xia Chujian was worried that her identity would be exposed! This is the first update. It's the first day of July, hurry up and cast your monthly votes, everyone! There will be three updates today. The second update is at 7 am.
The third update is at 1 pm, it's the bonus update for 300 monthly tickets in June!
