Xia Chujian said, "Thank you, Instructor Yang, for the praise. I won't let you down."
Yang Ling nodded, and after a long while, said quietly, "Then can you tell me why you were so indifferent to my suggestion?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
Holy crap!
This instructor is amazing!
First, a sweet date, then a big stick!
She doesn't even know how to refuse...
She thought Yang Ling really didn't care about Ji Nabi's provocation!
Xia Chujian's expression was quite rich at the moment.
Yang Ling knew what she was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with Ji Nabi. I saw your actions and just wanted to ask you. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to say."
Xia Chujian thought about it and felt it was her own problem.
Even if she didn't agree in her heart, why did she have to be so cheap and admire her nails at that time!
Since the instructor saw it, she might as well say it.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to say, "Instructor Yang, I was just wondering, is it because our soldiers aren't working hard enough that we can't recover those occupied Habitable Planets?"
Yang Ling: "..."
This girl is really sharp, hitting the nail on the head.
No wonder she didn't take her words just now seriously.
Yang Ling sighed and said, "You asked a good question, which is why I hope a real general can appear..."
Xia Chujian felt like she understood, and said softly, "...What you hope for is a general who dares to say no to the Military high-level, right?"
Yang Ling was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Is that hope very slim?"
Xia Chujian thought for a while and said seriously, "If one day I can call the shots, it definitely won't be slim."
Yang Ling laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "The younger generation is to be feared, I have high hopes for you!"
Xia Chujian herself didn't even know if she could climb to such a high position.
Because her current goal is only Huo Yushen.
And Huo Yushen can't compete with the Military high-level.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been transferred out of the front-line troops after a great victory and sent to the Special Security Bureau.
But since Yang Ling was so good at talking, Xia Chujian also returned the compliment, speaking excitedly, as if she could climb to the Military high-level as soon as she was given a ladder! The two walked out of the classroom together, already talking and laughing.
The person hiding in the dark observing them couldn't help but frown.
It seemed they were wrong, Yang Ling really didn't punish Xia Chujian.
...
Xia Chujian returned to the dormitory, ate the dinner her roommates had bought for her, and then received the course outline sent to her by Yang Ling, as well as some key points that had been re-summarized.
This time, Xia Chujian found that she remembered much more.
She seemed particularly suited to this point-to-surface learning method, and not suited to the mode of completely relying on herself to chew through the textbooks in an all-round way.
In the evening, she unusually studied with her roommates until eleven o'clock. Even after the dormitory lights went out and the internet was cut off at nine o'clock, she still used an LCD Flashlight to read the outline and knowledge points in the quilt for two hours.
...
The next day, like the learning progress of the Ground Fighter, Yang Ling began to explain the internal structure of the Starry Sky Fighter, the composition of materials, as well as the flight characteristics, conversion functions, and constant parameters of various Starry Sky Fighters, and even some basic maintenance and testing common sense.
It can be said that Starry Sky Fighters can be converted into Mechanical Armor, but not every Mechanical Armor can be converted into a Starry Sky Fighter.
The reason why Starry Sky Fighters can be interchanged with Mechanical Armor is because their structure and materials are several orders of magnitude more complex than Ground Fighters.
However, Yang Ling also said in class that the requirements in this regard are not as strict as those for Ground Fighters.
The construction of Starry Sky Fighters is too complex and high-end, and Starry Sky Fighter pilots are not required to master it.
They only need a general understanding; it won't be part of the assessment.
In short, for Starry Sky Fighters, there's no written test, only practical operation assessment.
However, practical operation is closely related to theoretical knowledge. A deeper and more thorough understanding of the theory will bring unexpected benefits to practical operation. Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief, but she still wanted to focus on understanding maintenance and testing common sense.
She didn't want to know how the Starry Sky Fighter was made, but she desperately needed to know how to repair it if it malfunctioned.
Of course, the key was how to repair the Mechanical Armor if it malfunctioned...
The two were interconnected.
After class, Xia Chujian quietly sent a message to Yang Ling, expressing her desire in this regard.
Yang Ling was very happy and sent her the content she had carefully prepared, all of which were very simple and profound maintenance and testing knowledge.
This time, what she sent to Xia Chujian was not pure text, but a 3D Holographic Projection video with both pictures and text.
Watching this video allowed her to fully grasp the maintenance and testing of the Starry Sky Fighter, and even the structure and materials of the Starry Sky Fighter.
Especially when the Starry Sky Fighter transformed into a Mechanical Armor, what kind of changes occurred in those key structures! This allowed her to better control the Mechanical Armor, and even reach the point where she could do whatever she wanted.
Xia Chujian was pleasantly surprised.
This learning method was actually more suitable for her than the outline and knowledge points that focused on one aspect! She only watched it once and memorized all the video content in her mind.
On the third day, when they went to the Starry Sky Fighter training depot on the other side of the base to watch the Maintenance Instructor conduct on-site teaching, Xia Chujian was already able to repair the Starry Sky Fighter while watching.
In the end, the Maintenance Instructor stopped repairing it himself and stood aside to watch Xia Chujian repair it, occasionally asking questions and offering opinions and suggestions, as if he was communicating with Xia Chujian on an equal footing, rather than Xia Chujian learning from him...
After this round of practical operation, Xia Chujian had completely mastered the video that Yang Ling had sent her.
After the maintenance class, when she returned to the dormitory, Mao Yonggui said, "Chujian, have you learned maintenance in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet before?"
Xia Chujian knew that she had mastered it too quickly today, and the Maintenance Instructor kept praising her, making it impossible for her to get through this without telling a lie...
Xia Chujian nodded calmly: "I have learned it. You all know that our Fourth Interstellar Fleet doesn't fight much. Our daily training is actually how to maintain our own Warplanes."
That made sense.
The three roommates smiled at each other.
Chu Qingjuan said, "Then we must be together for this Starry Sky Fighter combat training!"
Mao Yonggui nodded: "It's a great advantage for us to have a mechanic by our side!"
Sang Yadi stammered, "Chu... Chujian, I... we... a group."
"No problem!" Xia Chujian agreed readily.
In fact, although she could control the Mechanical Armor and even repair it, she still knew nothing about the training content of the Starry Sky Fighter.
She had to ask her roommates indirectly: "Do you usually go out for combat training in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet?"
Mao Yonggui was more talkative, and said with a smile while changing into casual clothes, "Our fleet has the most combat missions, where do we have time to train?"
Chu Qingjuan wiped her face in the mirror with a tissue, and followed up, "That's real fighting, not training."
Mao Yonggui looked at the time and continued, "Every time we are transported to the battle location by Interstellar Spaceship, it is an exploration of the unknown. Our Starry Sky Fighter Squadrons are all vanguards, fighting on the front lines."
"Whether it's close combat with enemy warships in space, or breaking through the enemy's blockade and attacking the enemy's planetary atmosphere."
"And competing with the enemy for resources on countless satellites and Small Asteroid belts are common occurrences!"
Xia Chujian was amazed: "...In that case, there is no such thing as an Ejection Seat and parachuting, right?"
"Of course not." Chu Qingjuan rubbed her sore shoulders and said with emotion, "Didn't we say before? Our Fifth Interstellar Fleet has a normal attrition rate of 30%."
"Fighting in space, either you are bombarded by the enemy's Space Weapon and there is no trace of your body, or you jump out of the Warplane and float into a dried corpse in the vast universe..."
Xia Chujian was horrified: "Ah? Then do you have to prepare some Suicide Device... In case you float into the universe, you can end yourself in advance, so you don't have to suffer..."
The three roommates laughed together.
Sang Yadi stammered, "She... they... are scaring you. It's not... not that scary."
Xia Chujian thought, the truth is probably more terrible than they said.
But therefore, she respected these roommates even more.
Because they are the real combat heroes, the ones who have truly fought the enemy in the vast universe!
Xia Chujian felt a little guilty whenever she thought of her fake identity.
So what if she could pilot a Mechanical Armor? Without real combat experience, even the best skills are just a reflection in the mirror, a castle in the air.
Therefore, she felt that she had to do even better than them to avoid tarnishing her rank.
But she seemed to understand and not understand her roommates' answers, which made her very irritable just thinking about it.
When everyone was studying in the evening, she couldn't help but send a message to Meng Guanghui.
[Xia Chujian]: Chief, what should I pay attention to when piloting a Starry Sky Fighter in actual combat? I only learned today that the Starry Sky Fighter can be transformed into a Mechanical Armor!
Less than three seconds after she sent the message, the other party replied, much faster than Meng Guanghui's usual response speed.
[Meng Guanghui]: You didn't know that the Starry Sky Fighter could be transformed into a Mechanical Armor? [Xia Chujian]: I didn't know, you never said...
Of course, it was Huo Yushen who was replying to Xia Chujian's message at this moment.
He pondered while holding Meng Guanghui's Quantum Optical Brain, thinking that this content should have been explained clearly on the Interstellar Spaceship to Kanli Star.
The spaceship journey was sixteen hours long, how come they didn't even talk about this?
Huo Yushen tentatively asked her.
[Meng Guanghui]: Didn't say it? The Interstellar Spaceship for sixteen hours...
[Xia Chujian]: The Interstellar Spaceship for sixteen hours, you only remembered eating! Then a cat wags its tail and glances sideways in a GIF.
Expressing Xia Chujian's dissatisfaction.
Huo Yushen's mouth twitched, and he replied like this.
[Meng Guanghui]: Before the Starry Sky Fighter transforms, it is no different from a Ground Fighter. After the Starry Sky Fighter is reassembled into a Mechanical Armor, it is the mode you trained in at the Special Security Bureau, but the key is how to cooperate with the Mechanical Intelligence that comes with the Mechanical Armor.
This explanation was concise and to the point, and Xia Chujian understood it instantly.
She sent a GIF of a cat with a big red heart popping out of its head to express her gratitude.
This is the first update. The second update will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
