It was Thursday morning of the second week when everyone gathered again under the Pentagonal Platform at the School Field.
This time, Pei Zijing once again ascended the high platform to address them.
"Fellow students, you have completed all the learning and assessment for the Ground Fighter program, and you have also completed the theoretical knowledge learning for the Starry Sky Fighter."
"Your Instructors have already said in class that for the Starry Sky Fighter, we will only assess two aspects: Warplane piloting and practical weapon operation. The theoretical knowledge of construction, maintenance, and testing will not be included in the assessment."
"Starting today, we will begin Starry Sky Fighter piloting training."
"Since it is a Starry Sky Fighter, this Flying Base is not suitable."
"Next, the base will dispatch an Interstellar Spaceship to take you outside the atmosphere of Kanli Star for standard Starry Sky Fighter operation mode training and assessment."
"The entire training and assessment period will last for eleven days, from today until Sunday next week."
"Now, go back and pack your luggage. In one hour, enter the Starry Sky Fighter assigned by the base and fly to Sky Harbor at the Kanli Star Interstellar Terminal."
"From there, enter the Interstellar Spaceship, which will take you to the Small Asteroid belt between the orbits of Kanli Star and Cangge Star for practical Starry Sky Fighter operation training."
"You must remember that the Small Asteroid belt between the orbits of Kanli Star and Cangge Star is the largest known Small Asteroid belt in the Beichen Star Region."
"There are many Star Rocks, metals, and ice crystal fragments left over from the formation of the Beichen Star Region, all of which are residual materials that did not form complete planets."
"Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Beichen Star Region was affected by a super-strong supernova explosion, which began to evolve and eventually formed sixty habitable planets suitable for human habitation."
"The excess rocks, metals, and ice crystals left over from that evolution fell into the Star Region, forming countless Small Asteroid belts."
"There are countless underdeveloped planets in the Small Asteroid belt, called Small Asteroids. They are the main component of the Small Asteroid belt and also form a particularly difficult star region to navigate in space."
"There are also comets, mainly composed of ice crystals, Star Dust, and Star Rocks. The movement of comets in the Small Asteroid belt is irregular, often appearing and disappearing without a trace. If an Interstellar Warship encounters a comet and cannot avoid it in time, the only outcome is the destruction of the ship and the death of the crew."
"The kinetic energy carried by a comet is more powerful and destructive than any Space-Based Weapon."
"This time, we are sending you into this Small Asteroid belt to assess your Starry Sky Fighter piloting skills."
"Here, we not only emphasize speed, but also efficiency!"
"Whoever can pass through the Small Asteroid belt the fastest and reach the Cangge Star Interstellar Terminal on the other side will be the winner!"
Then, Pei Zijing waved his hand and said, "The coordinates of the Small Asteroid belt have been sent to your Smart Bracelets. Remember, there is no navigation there. The detection function of Mechanical Intelligence may be useful, or it may not be, because the magnetic field in the Small Asteroid belt is very unstable and can cause all navigation systems to lose accuracy."
"In addition, communication between you is not stable. It goes without saying that you won't be able to contact each other if you are far apart. If you are close, you may be able to contact each other. But if there happens to be a magnetic storm in the middle, even if you are very close, communication will be difficult."
So, in the end, there is only one sentence: external forces are completely unreliable, and you can only rely on yourself to break through the Small Asteroid belt.
After Pei Zijing finished speaking, everyone scattered with a bang and ran towards their dormitories.
Because there was only one hour to pack, but they had to stay in the Small Asteroid belt in space for eleven days! They definitely had to bring enough Advanced Nutrient Solution, otherwise, let alone break through the Small Asteroid belt, they would likely starve to death halfway.
This time, Xia Chujian ran very fast. Of course, she still couldn't compare to those Gene Evolvers students.
They disappeared in a flash.
Xia Chujian looked at the direction they disappeared in, feeling envious, jealous, and everything in between.
Yu Fei drove over in a car and beckoned her and her three roommates to get in.
"Get in! Save some time!"
Xia Chujian, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi immediately climbed into Yu Fei's convertible without hesitation.
The five of them quickly drove towards the dormitory area on the other side.
Along the way, Yu Fei instructed, "It doesn't matter if you can't make it through. You will be issued a signal device. As long as you launch the signal device, an Interstellar Airship will pick you up."
Xia Chujian and her three roommates were all determined to be in the top twenty, so how could they give up? They smiled tacitly and got out of the car in front of the dormitory area.
Yu Fei knew from their expressions that these were four girls who refused to give up.
He shook his head and quietly sent a message to Xia Chujian.
[Yu Fei]: Always be vigilant. There are not only randomly flying and colliding Small Asteroids, but also open and hidden attacks from your own people...
When Xia Chujian saw this message, she silently went to the bathroom, put on the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha under her flight suit, and also put on the Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat Huo Yushen gave her, wearing it inside the helmet that came with the Starry Sky Fighter flight suit.
Her roommates were not surprised at all to see her fully armed like this.
Because they were also fully armed.
Mao Yonggui was even a little nervous.
She put on the helmet that came with the flight uniform in front of the mirror and said, "This helmet is shockproof, and of course, bulletproof. It can also defend against Rank B Mental Strength attacks. I just don't know if the road through the Small Asteroid belt is easy to navigate..."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "Haven't you guys traveled through the Small Asteroid belt before?"
Chu Qingjuan shook her head regretfully, "No, our combat missions are directly against the Southern Cross Star Kingdom, or occasionally against the Interstellar Warships of the Ximanielli Federation. The battles take place in the orbits around those barren stars."
Mao Yonggui said quietly, "I've inquired about the previous training content. They never had everyone travel through the Small Asteroid belt before..."
"This training is indeed much more difficult than before," Chu Qingjuan also took out a helmet and put it on.
Sang Yadi said from the side, "I I I... think this flight training is related to the Special Military Operation."
Xia Chujian looked at Sang Yadi in surprise.
Sang Yadi was indeed smarter. No wonder an ordinary person with such physical defects could be accepted by the Fifth Interstellar Fleet.
Mao Yonggui and Chu Qingjuan really hadn't thought of this.
Now that Sang Yadi reminded them, they exchanged glances and nodded together, saying, "Yadi is right!"
Xia Chujian said, "The difficulty of that Special Military Operation doesn't seem to be ordinary."
"That's right!" Mao Yonggui put on the flight uniform that came with the Starry Sky Fighter, and said, "A Special Military Operation where you can be promoted to School-level if you come back alive can't be easy!"
That made sense.
Xia Chujian stopped talking and concentrated on tidying up her flight uniform.
This was her first time wearing a Starry Sky Fighter flight uniform, and it was indeed completely different from the Ground Fighter's.
The main thing was that the Starry Sky Fighter's flight uniform could prevent cosmic ray radiation.
Even if you jumped out of the Starry Sky Fighter like this, your body wouldn't suffer any damage from cosmic ray radiation.
The key was that this flight uniform wasn't bulky at all. She didn't know what special material it was made of.
Finally, she had to carry a forty-centimeter square backpack.
The top half was an oxygen compression pack. It looked like a small cube, but it contained compressed oxygen equipment that could last for a month.
The bottom half was a real backpack for everyone to put some personal changes of clothes, or small snacks, simple equipment, and so on.
Then, she stuffed thirty Advanced Nutrient Solutions into the specially made pockets of the flight uniform.
Xia Chujian looked in the mirror and suddenly thought of a question.
What would she do if she wanted to go to the bathroom in space? Eleven days!
She wanted to ask, but she was worried that she would expose her ignorance.
In the end, she secretly opened the Starry Sky Fighter structure data that Yang Ling had given her and checked it herself.
It turned out that there was special equipment under the seat of the Starry Sky Fighter, which was specially designed for these personal needs.
You could solve it by sitting there.
And it would be cleaned automatically after a while.
When the Starry Sky Fighter was transformed into a Mechanical Mecha, this device would be cleaned again automatically, then sealed and packaged, and carried on the back.
When it was transformed back, it could be repackaged under the seat and continue to be used.
Xia Chujian was amazed.
The Ground Fighter seemed to have a simpler device with the same performance, but Xia Chujian had never used it.
Because her time in the Ground Fighter was less than two hours at most.
Before, when flying to the Southern Hemisphere of Kanli Star, the Peng-type Transport Aircraft transported the Ground Fighter back and forth.
These personal problems could be solved in the Peng-type Transport Aircraft's bathroom.
While Xia Chujian was pondering these details, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi exchanged glances and asked uneasily, "Chujian, we said we would go through the levels together, but we didn't know we would be going through the Small Asteroid belt. Can we still be together?"
Just like Pei Zijing said just now, the magnetic field of the Small Asteroid belt was particularly unstable, which would interfere with the communication between the Starry Sky Fighters.
Therefore, they didn't even have navigation, only a general direction of flight, and then they had to use their Starry Sky common sense to detect an Interstellar route and fly over the Small Asteroid belt.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi all wanted to team up with Xia Chujian. Putting aside everything else, just her excellent warplane repair and inspection skills could increase their success rate by at least 30%!
But now that there was a problem with communication, how could they act together?
The entire Small Asteroid belt, despite the word "small," wasn't actually small at all.
The entire stretch of starry sky from Kanli Star to Cangge Star spanned 21 million kilometers.
And that was just the area between two points.
Once you actually flew into it, it was a separate star region!
Xia Chujian understood what they meant.
She hadn't thought about this problem before.
Of course, she knew nothing about space flight at all. Not to mention the Small Asteroid belt, even outside the atmosphere of Guiyuan Star, she had only passed through once when she was on an Interstellar Spaceship.
In her urgency, Xia Chujian sent a message to Meng Guanghui.
[Xia Chujian]: Chief! Is there any way to keep my three roommates in smooth communication while flying through the Small Asteroid belt?! This is our Starry Sky Fighter on-machine operation training and assessment!
Huo Yushen saw this message, thought about it, and replied to her using Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain.
[Meng Guanghui]: Why do you need to maintain smooth communication with your three roommates? Isn't this assessment scored individually? This is the second update. There will be a new update at 00:05 tonight.
