Chapter 9 Departure
The small aircraft continued to rise and slowly approached the air port.
I didn't think it was far away before, but when I got closer, I found that the entire air port covers a very wide area and has a diameter of at least nearly 100 kilometers. If there were no lighting devices, the metal platform below would not be able to get any light.
And this kind of giant is now floating steadily in the sky with magnetic levitation technology.
However, for the Mingchao Stars who can hang up all seven continents... it is really nothing to send this "gate" to heaven.
At the edge of the port, ten tall black cylindrical metal bulges stretched out. The ends of the ten manned spacecraft were connected with these bulges. The two seemed to be perfectly integrated. The manned spacecraft relied on such a small fulcrum, and almost all of the hull floated in the air regardless of gravity.
"Wow..." Ye Daifei looked at the air port that was getting closer and closer through the window, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so big."
"Xiao Fei, you blocked me!" A complaint sounded, and then a burgundy little head squeezed over from Ye Dai Fei. It was Batanli.
The silly girl blinked her gem-like emerald green pupils, stared at the huge air port for a while, and suddenly said blankly: "That's a large area... it must be very pleasant to practice sniper rifles on it, right?"
For a sniper, the most troublesome thing is that the venue is not large enough during practice, and the land resources on the floating continent are very scarce. Therefore, the practice venue has always been a troublesome thing for Batanli. Every time, I need to "get rid of" the special driving range rented by my teacher Xue Ranmiao.
It’s not that Batanli hates practicing with her teacher Xue Ranmiao, but for her generous gifts that are not inferior to men, she still wants to have a free space for her. Therefore, a large driving range that only belongs to her is what this silly girl wants most at this stage.
As friends, Ye Daifei and Ji Feiya know this.
"Hey, I'll say..." Ye Daifei first moved the sniper muzzle behind Batanli, which was about to poke on his face expressionlessly, and then glanced at his close friend speechlessly, criticizing: "Why does it become useful when the air port is used to park and repair manned spacecraft when it comes to you? Can you have some success?"
"What's the matter? The venue is just used..." Batanli looked indifferent, but at the end, he seemed to think that this was a bit inappropriate, so he gave in and changed his words reluctantly: "Even if half of the seats are used, it would be fine?"
Uh...it seems not much different from before?
Ye Daifei held her forehead speechlessly, feeling funny and angry.
"You should practice gun fighting skills first." Ki Feiya, who was holding three blades in his arms, and was leaning against the wall, closed her eyes to rest in peace. Her long white fingers lifted her long sea-blue hair on her left shoulder. She glanced at Batanli and said lightly: "At this stage, you use a laser sniper rifle to conduct long-range strikes, and then cooperate with the ability to accelerate indiscriminately, which can pose enough threat to opponents of the same level. So... what you need to focus on practicing and making up for should be gun fighting skills to deal with close-range crises. A qualified warrior will not let himself have such a big weakness."
"As for combat machinery, although I have not learned it, I have also learned it from books. This must be accumulated and learned for a long time to play a certain role. In the short term, it is not realistic to rely on it to solve the problem of melee combat."
This statement can be said to be a sharp pain and hurt people invisibly!
Beautiful statement!
Ye Daifei raised her eyebrows and almost couldn't help but clap the drummer.
Ki Feiya's words are not wrong at all. The shortcomings of close combat are Batanli's biggest shortcomings now.
It’s not that she has no talent, but the main reason is that. As an ordinary academy in a small city on the Seventh Floating Continent, Rashen Academy has too few things to teach this silly girl. It is already her luck to meet a teacher like Xue Ranmiao.
Unfortunately, Xue Ranmiao could not teach her close combat methods to Batanli, because most of them needed her own god-given abilities to cooperate.
"Hmph..." Batanli looked back at Ki Feiya, but what surprised Ye Daifei was that she did not retort, but pouted and muttered: "I also know that I can't fight in close combat, but wait... I will ask you to take back what you say now in the future!"
After speaking, her pretty face showed a confident look, as if the girl who was so domineering that when Ye Daifei was injured on the face at first, she was back.
No... To be precise, Batanli has always been so generous and unconventional, otherwise he would not have been loved and admired by many men and women from Rasho Academy. The reason why this girl feels a little stupid is that she thinks that she has the most trusted person around her, so she will reveal her most sincere side without any concealment.
"I'll wait and see." Ji Feiya's mouth bent in an arc, and she closed her eyes again and stopped talking.
While the three of them were talking, Solingya, who was standing next to her, didn't interrupt and kept watching quietly with interest. When Kifiya showed the shortcomings of Batanli, the beautiful woman smiled and nodded; Rin and Yue stood by the side without getting the order; as for the third-level non-commissioned officer... he pretended to have heard nothing, standing at the edge, looking at the nose, looking at the heart, and becoming a qualified subordinate.
Soon, the small aircraft arrived at the air port, and then approached the No. 3 manned spacecraft under the control of the soldier in the pilot seat, and finally slowly stopped at a somewhat inconspicuous opening below it.
It is inconspicuous, but it is only relative to its entire huge hull. For everyone in the small aircraft... this opening is simply a big hole more than three meters high and two meters wide.
Around the big hole, there are many small metal platforms floating in the air. One by one, the maintenance mechas stand on the platform, and ten close robotic hands are stretched out under the operation of the soldiers sitting inside to inspect and maintain important parts of the hull.
The power devices of the manned spacecraft, the main weapon and the secondary weapon, the defense system, the stealth system, etc., are all places that need to be checked. The manned spacecraft will not take off until it is confirmed that there is no problem at all.
At this time, the space behind the small aircraft opened, and the stairs extended out, just connected to the cabin door of the manned spacecraft. Everyone in the car followed the stairs and entered the interior of the manned spacecraft.
When the stand was about to stand, Ye Daifei and the other two looked around curiously.
Very ordinary, unexpectedly ordinary.
This is a long corridor, with no end to the front and back; around it are walls and floors painted with white paint, giving people a clean and tidy feeling; the light tubes on the head are distributed in the corridor with the same spacing, emitting a faint white light.
It's just a very ordinary corridor.
"Please follow me." The third-level non-commissioned officer said, walking forward, and everyone followed behind.
Ye Daifei followed the last without saying a word, but she became more and more surprised as she walked.
This place is like a maze, with the corridors connected in various directions in complex directions, and there is no text description on the wall. People who are not familiar with the terrain will definitely lose their direction here. But the third-level non-commissioned officer was obviously very familiar with this place. He took them around without hesitation along the way, and finally came to an extremely wide space.
Arriving here, there was finally a faint blue projection from above the head to illustrate the purpose of this place - the teleportation center.
The ground in the teleportation center is full of teleportation pedals. If you count carefully, there are at least hundreds of them. The space above the head is infinitely wide. You can even see metal plates hundreds of meters high when you look up. There are circles of floors around, blocked by circles of metal fences.
In addition to the corridor where Ye Daifei and others came out, there was a dark corridor every half meter around the teleportation center. They were densely covered with dense surroundings of the teleportation center. Soon, someone would walk out of a corridor like them and come here as usual. Then he looked at it briefly and walked towards one of the teleportation pedals, took out a card and pointed it at the center of the pedal, and then was taken up by the pedal.
The atmosphere here has changed from the silence and silence that were before in their corridors, and it was so lively that people came and went.
The third-level non-commissioned officer continued to walk forward with everyone, and finally came to the row of unwelcome golden pedals at the end in surprise or envious eyes of others, and stood above one of them.
He squatted down and groped in his arms for a while. A unique blue card was taken out. He pointed the card at the pedal under his feet and swept it. With a "click", the transparent wall unfolded from the edge. The golden pedal flew up smoothly with everyone, and finally arrived at the top of the manned spacecraft.
Walking down the golden pedal, an extremely luxurious hall was exposed to everyone.
The hall is very wide, with dark red carpets on the ground, which are soft when stepped on; and on the left and right sides of the end, there are two stairs converging towards the center of the second floor, where there is an arc-shaped platform. The platform has a metal door every distance, with a total of seven doors, and above the door there are numbers from one to seven.
On the first floor, several exquisite sofas and glass coffee tables were placed. Several men and women dressed as waiters were standing motionless in the corner. When they saw everyone coming, they immediately bowed their heads respectfully and saluted silently.
"You hold this card." The third-level non-commissioned officer handed the blue card to Solingya and said seriously: "During the time of crossing the mainland, it is your pass to enter and exit the VIP cabin. Your room is No. 6, and it is also opened with it."
As he said that, he pointed to the No. 6 door on the second floor.
"Okay." Solingya nodded and took it. After the third-level non-commissioned officer gave another military salute, he turned around and walked to the black pedal with the "Military Special Passage" written in the right corner, and took it to leave.
"Let's go, let's see how the room is. I usually don't want to sit in the VIP cabin. This time I'm going to be the one who's going to get rid of yours." Solingya smiled and turned to Ye Daifei and the other two and said.
"You are polite." Ye Daifei replied quickly.
Everyone stepped on the stairs to the second floor and came to door No. 6. Solingya brushed the groove with the blue card in her hand, and the door rang and opened automatically.
They walked into it and looked around and looked at the interior space.
The layout of this VIP cabin is somewhat similar to the military hotel I stayed in before. It is also a second-floor space with a bedroom above and a living room below, a dining room below. In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be a practice room here.
The conditions for VIP cabins are so complete and spacious. If it were other ordinary cabins, it would be just a small space of several hundred square meters, and the two were completely incomparable.
"Because we have to travel across two continents, we have to stay in the Sixth Floating Continent for a while on the way, which will probably take about an hour. You can go to the top to choose a bedroom to rest, or go outside to take a look and move around freely." Solingya said gently.
"Okay, Teacher Suolingya." Ye Daifei and the other two nodded, put their luggage on the first floor, and then stayed in the room for a while. After about twenty minutes, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in the room.
"The spacecraft is about to set off, and the hull will shake slightly during takeoff. Please prepare and pay attention to your own safety."
The three women who were chatting stopped talking immediately, and after a few seconds, they felt a slight shaking.
The manned spacecraft... set off.
