Xia Chujian still looked sulky, and said, "Since you all haven't found it, what can I do?"
"Didn't your Smart Bracelet take a Star Chart? Export that Star Chart from your Smart Bracelet, maybe it can be used."
"What if it can't be used?"
"Then you're on your own."
"I also sent you the picture I took, can you use it?"
"The resolution of the photo you sent me is too low to restore it."
"Then I can't restore it either!"
Xia Chujian almost had three black lines on her forehead.
Huo Yushen was still calm and composed, and said, "Some photos are automatically compressed by the system when they are exported. You have the original picture you took, maybe you can restore it."
As Huo Yushen spoke, he had already pressed a button on his desk.
The office door opened, and Kang Shanxing stood at the door, saying to Xia Chujian, "Second Lieutenant Xia, this way please."
Then, he handed a backpack to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips, and said to Huo Yushen with grief, "Marshal Huo, I really can't pilot a Starry Sky Cruiser. This trip is definitely fraught with danger."
Her tone carried a bit of sadness: "If I don't come back, please give my pension to my Aunt. My family has many people and many animals, and the family burden is very heavy. I hope the organization will ensure that all my family members and all animals can live a life without worry about food and clothing after my death, until the day they leave this world."
"Oh, right, I need to prepare a will."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she really pulled out a virtual display screen from her Smart Bracelet and began writing a will on the spot.
Huo Yushen stood up at this time, and said leisurely, "No need to be so troublesome, or I'll go with you."
Xia Chujian's hand trembled, she couldn't continue acting, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? What do you mean by going with me?"
"Didn't you say you can't pilot a Starry Sky Cruiser? I can, I'll go with you." Huo Yushen looked like it was a matter of course, smiling at her with his arms folded.
It was as if an iceberg had melted, but the water rushing down from the iceberg drenched Xia Chujian, giving her a shiver...
She immediately retracted the virtual display screen, waved her arms, and shouted like a slogan, "Then no need, Marshal Huo is in a high position of power, the small Starry Sky Cruiser can't bear the burden, it can't hold your great Buddha! - I'm leaving! Anyway, if I don't come back, my leader will definitely help me fight for more pension money!"
Saying that, she had already quickly walked out of Huo Yushen's office.
Kang Shanxing glanced at Huo Yushen, turned around and said, "Second Lieutenant Xia, go down this way, you're going the wrong way."
He was going to take Xia Chujian to the huge, palace-like belly of the Bat-style Fighter Jet.
Kang Shanxing picked a Ghost-class Starry Sky Fighter there, and said, "You pilot this, and join up with the Starry Sky Cruiser over there. Your Warplane model is already noted there, you are the captain, you can fly in directly."
Xia Chujian didn't want Huo Yushen to know her secrets, so she went straight to the Ghost-class Fighter, and said, "Please send me the Starry Sky Cruiser's pilot manual, I learn very quickly."
The corner of Kang Shanxing's mouth twitched.
He also didn't understand Huo Yushen's decision, because he knew that Xia Chujian had no experience piloting a Starry Sky Cruiser at all.
Being able to quickly learn how to pilot a Starry Sky Fighter was not uncommon, after all, Xia Chujian had piloted a Flying Vehicle before.
But a Starry Sky Cruiser was a completely different kind of large spacecraft, that kind of behemoth, only a little smaller than their Bat-style Fighter Jet.
Moreover, it wasn't something that one person could pilot the entire Starry Sky Cruiser.
Huo Yushen looked at Xia Chujian's departing back with deep eyes, thinking, she really has secrets.
...
Xia Chujian angrily piloted the Ghost-class Starry Sky Fighter and flew directly into the Starry Sky Cruiser from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
Before getting off the Warplane, she opened the backpack that Kang Shanxing gave her and looked at it.
Inside were actually some daily necessities, a dozen tubes of Advanced Nutrient Solution, and several sets of military uniforms.
Different from the Special Security Bureau's military uniforms, they were the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's military uniforms.
She wore this kind of military uniform at that Flying Base.
Xia Chujian hurriedly took off the Special Security Bureau's military uniform on her body, wore it inside out, and then put on the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's military uniform on the outside.
Then she looked through the Starry Sky Cruiser introduction and driving outline that Kang Shanxing had just sent her.
It turned out that the general level of a Starry Sky Cruiser was between a Starry Sky Fighter and a Starry Sky Battleship.
It was many times larger than a Starry Sky Fighter, requiring a team of ten people to operate it simultaneously. One person could not pilot it alone.
The captain's role was usually not daily piloting, but providing routes, controlling direction, and making strategic decisions.
Xia Chujian had been uneasy and worried, wondering if she could master the piloting of a Starry Sky Cruiser in a short time.
After reading the introduction, she realized she had been worrying unnecessarily.
Because she didn't need to pilot it herself at all!
Did Huo Yushen not have a mouth?! He didn't explain it clearly, making her worry for so long!
However, the smile on Xia Chujian's lips hadn't had time to settle when she suddenly froze.
She had been tricked!
Huo Yushen was testing her...
And Huo Yushen succeeded because she had revealed herself.
Xia Chujian was annoyed, but she didn't show it on the surface. She just opened the hatch of the Ghost-class Fighter, jumped down, and said with a smile to the ten Cruiser Sergeants who came to greet her, "Hello, I am Xia Chujian, temporarily assigned to participate in the search and rescue operation. I'll be relying on you for piloting this warship."
Welcomed by these Fourth Interstellar Fleet warship Sergeants, who couldn't hide their excitement, Xia Chujian strode into the captain's room and sat grandly behind her large desk.
Then, the youngest-looking pilot in front of her said with shining eyes, "Did you really break so many Warplane flight records at the Kanli Star Flying Base?!"
"And flew across the Asteroid Belt in just twelve hours?!"
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Yes, I broke the Warplane flight records, but I crossed the Asteroid Belt thanks to the new Wormhole, not by flying across it myself."
"That's still your achievement! You're amazing!" The pilot puffed out his chest, revealing the nameplate on his chest.
Xia Chujian saw that it read—Major: Gu Zhongjin, Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser Port Side Pilot A1.
Xia Chujian said, "Major Gu, although luck is part of strength, we can't rely on luck alone."
"Alright, now, would you like to introduce yourselves?"
So the ten of them lined up and introduced themselves to Xia Chujian one by one.
It turned out that there were four consoles on this Starry Sky Cruiser, each requiring two people to operate.
The consoles on the Starry Sky Cruiser were called "Sides," namely Port Side, Starboard Side, Fore Side, and Aft Side.
Of course, of the two people operating, one was the official operator and the other was the backup operator.
Then there were two navigators, responsible for instrument observation and tracking routes to ensure the Cruiser was traveling in the correct direction.
In other words, even without a captain, this Starry Sky Cruiser could set sail.
The captain's main role was to coordinate everything and make decisions about fighting or retreating at critical moments.
Xia Chujian glanced at the "Driving Outline" Kang Shanxing had sent her and fell into thought.
It really was an outline, so simple that it was only the size of a regular sheet of paper.
But it covered the essence, and Xia Chujian had nothing to complain about.
She felt it was quite suitable for her.
For some reason, Xia Chujian felt that she liked making decisions, especially in the heat of battle. She had a beast-like intuition for danger and victory.
Of course, she couldn't rely on intuition to command such a large Starry Sky Cruiser.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the basics of Starry Sky Cruiser piloting, Xia Chujian felt relieved and said, "Then prepare yourselves, we'll depart in half an hour."
"Ah? Depart in half an hour? We haven't received orders from the Military yet..." Gu Zhongjin said blankly.
Xia Chujian's face darkened, "Am I the captain, or are you the captain?"
Gu Zhongjin immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Of course, you are, Captain Xia!"
"Then stop talking nonsense and prepare to depart!"
Gu Zhongjin immediately nodded, "Yes, Captain!"
He turned and left, leaving the nine members to look at each other. Eight of them followed, leaving the last one, who appeared to be the oldest.
His name tag read: Lieutenant Colonel: Qi Hongsheng, Navigator A1 of the Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser.
He hesitated and asked softly, "Captain, this rescue operation is led by the Military. Our Fourth Interstellar Fleet will depart from Cangge Star, while the Special Security Bureau's Hong Group elite team will depart from Kanli Star, and together we will enter the Asteroid Belt to carry out the search and rescue operation. —Are you really not waiting for the Military's orders?"
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and said, "Did the Military say we had to wait for their orders?"
Qi Hongsheng shook his head, "They didn't say that, but they gave a general plan. Also, the Military instructed that the search and rescue operation be moved from Monday to Sunday."
Xia Chujian said, "My understanding is that our mission is to save people, not to wait. Since we can start on Sunday... and now it's..."
Xia Chujian looked at her Smart Bracelet, which showed the time as 11:40 PM on Saturday.
She smiled, "In another half hour, it will be 12:10 AM on Sunday. We are not violating the Military's orders."
Qi Hongsheng's lips twitched. He thought, This captain is really good at exploiting loopholes...
But being able to exploit loopholes meant she wasn't breaking any rules.
Since there were no violations, they should do whatever was convenient.
Why make things difficult for a young girl? He also stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, Captain!"
Xia Chujian nodded. After those people left, she reviewed the general structure of the Starry Sky Cruiser again.
Based on the information she saw on the name tags of those pilots and navigators, this Starry Sky Cruiser was a Falcon-Class.
It was the lowest level in the Starry Sky Cruiser series, but it was already very large, and could be considered a veritable small town on land.
This is the second update.
At the beginning of the month, I have to remind you all every day for Moon Tickets!
There will be a new update at 12:05 AM tonight.
PS: I secretly sneaked into the Qidian book review section to read everyone's book reviews. They are so well written. If you can talk, say more, I love reading them ().
