Chapter 410 Test
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Lord Xiao Wen, but don't you and Lord Chen Shan belong to the mid-level officer system? Don't you live in the upper city?"
Xiao Wen shook his head and replied: "Most of our people live in the lower city, how can we live in the upper city by ourselves. The level of the position is only for better displaying our own abilities, not who is more noble! In addition, in the lower city, there are tasks It is also more convenient to go to the training area and the combat area.”
After Su Mo listened, he secretly admired Xiao Wen a little bit more. Not many people can do this these days.
"Well, Mr. Xiao Wen, you are right."
Lin Yue replied in full agreement.
"What are you talking about, go to the dormitory and put your luggage away."
Chen Shan didn't care at all.
"Well, disband on the spot and follow the text message prompts to find their own rooms."
Xiao Wen turned his head and gave orders to his subordinates behind him.
"yes!"
The people who followed up responded one after another.
Then Xiao Wen led Su Mo and the others towards a metal building.
Not long after, Xiao Wen brought Su Mo to a small single room. He pushed open the door, and there was a bed, a desk, and a small independent bathroom in the metal room. The entire room was only about fifteen square meters.
"Su Mo, this will be your room from now on. Conditions are limited, so make do with it."
"No, it's pretty good."
Su Mo glanced around and was very satisfied. At least it is an independent room, although it is a bit narrow, the privacy is not bad.
Xiao Wen then said to Su Mo: "As long as you are satisfied, I have something else to tell you."
"you say."
"Since you decided to participate in the expedition on a temporary basis, I didn't prepare too many daily necessities for you. If you don't bring enough, you can ask Chen Shan to accompany you to the trading market in Zhongcheng District to purchase some. There are two types of currency used here. One is federation coins, and the other is star coins, of course, it is enough to use federation coins for general things, and star coins will only be used to buy more expensive things."
Xiao Wen reminded Su Mo.
"I know, but I'm a little confused. Didn't the federal government go out to mine this ship? Why did you set up such a large free trade zone? From your posture, it seems that private sales are allowed."
Su Mo asked in confusion.
"This is for economic prosperity and some balancing needs. Fifty percent of the people on board this ship are professionals like us. The remaining 50 percent are not. There are production personnel, private scientific researchers, scholars, and outsiders, and most importantly, there are a large number of private development companies. These private development companies are also allowed to board the ship and follow the mining after paying a high entrance fee to the federal government. Of course, the minerals or other resources they mined have to pay taxes. But after the taxes are paid, the goods are owned by private individuals and can be bought and sold freely. In fact, there is nothing surprising about it. History has proven that blindly planning and dictatorial policies are harmful to the market. The economy is not good, and a certain amount of free capital is still needed.”
Of course, Xiao Wen didn't tell Su Mo the most important point. Most of these people are big chaebols who live in seclusion behind the scenes, and all of them are existences with powerful hands.
"Oh I see."
"One more thing, you boarded the ship as a consultant, so your next actions will be bound to our team. Your salary is 20,000 federal currency per month, but I also know that you are not a real professional soldier after all, So in terms of work, rest and attendance, I won't be too harsh on you. When there are no important tasks, you can arrange them freely."
Xiao Wen explained the general things to Su Mo. Others don't know Su Mo's ability, but Xiao Wen is still very clear. He really admired Su Mo, so he, who has always been very strict, was rarely so tolerant to others.
"Thanks."
Su Mo nodded in response.
Chen Shan patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There is nothing to thank, we will be brothers fighting side by side in the future. If you have any needs or troubles, just come to me."
At this moment, the radio sounded, and a steady voice sounded.
"Dear passengers, I am Li Ruiqi, the captain of the Hei Yao. Please return to your room as soon as possible. The Hei Yao will officially take off in five hours. At that time, after six hours, the flight at the speed of light will start. , During this period of time, there may be severe turbulence inside the ship, please pay attention to safety."
"Another friendly reminder, during the sublight flight of the Hei Yao, in order to save energy, the gravity system will partially work, covering only the living area and the control area. Other areas will be in a state of weightlessness, and at the same time, some areas of the ship will not be covered. The life support system is covered, please do not leave your living area without authorization, run around, or break into areas that you should not enter. If you really do this, you not only have to bear the corresponding risks, but also accept the relevant risks. punishment."
Lin Yue was a little surprised and said: "It will take off so soon, I thought it would be at least 24 hours later."
"It's really a bit hasty, let's not talk about this. Su Mo, you rest here first, we are going to inspect the situation of other people's placement."
Xiao Wen thought for a while and said.
"good."
Su Mo replied.
Then Xiao Wen and the others left, leaving Su Mo alone in the room.
Looking at the unfamiliar room, he stretched deeply, and felt a faint excitement in his calm heart.
In the control room of the Hei Yao ship, a number of operators are busy making final preparations before takeoff. They keep checking the status of each line and listening to reports from patrol personnel in each area.
"The situation in the power zone A1 is normal!"
"The situation in the integrated circuit area is normal!"
"The situation in the freezer area is normal!"
Li Ruiqi sat firmly on the command chair, listening to the reports of the people below.
Putmi (the vice-captain of Hei Yao) who was standing aside at this time frowned and said, "Is this too anxious, a little too hasty."
"Where it is possible to compress time, compress it as much as possible. Otherwise, when encountering irresistible factors, it will be too late to cry. You should know better than anyone else how tight the time is for our voyage. Now that everyone has come up, The preparations have also been completed, so let’s set sail as soon as possible.”
Li Ruiqi didn't intend to change at all.
"All right."
Putmi's expression changed for a while, and he finally said nothing.
Li Ruiqi raised his hand and looked at his watch, seeing that the time was about the same, he opened his mouth and said.
"The time is up, close all the entrances, send a message to the ground crew of the interstellar airport, and ask them to evacuate everyone on the surface!"
"Yes, the message has been sent!"
An operator responded.
In the next second, the ground crew of the huge interstellar airport immediately received an order to evacuate, and the commander shouted loudly.
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"
Numerous ground staff pushed some equipment and began to evacuate one after another.
Long Ming and the others stood on the high-level observatory of the interstellar airport terminal, looking at the Heiyao that was about to take off.
Everyone looked extremely serious. This was not just a mining mission, but also carried the hope and future of the Federation.
And this mission will be fully commanded by Augustus and Spade.
It didn't take long for the invisible Black Glory to activate, and a huge roar resounded through the entire area, and then the Black Glory began to float slowly.
The anti-gravity device is running at full capacity, and the energy shield is opened to the maximum.
The height of the ascent is getting higher and higher, each unit is running at full capacity, the tail injection port is opened, and the hot tail flame is sprayed out.
Then the huge mothership began to fly towards the vast universe, and the figure gradually became smaller.
Looking at the mothership that was gradually moving away, Long Ming let out a long breath, and said to the people around him: "They have already set off, and it is time for us to do our own thing. I look forward to the formal rise of the Federation in three years' time!"
"clear!"
Estherine and the others responded one after another.
A few days later, Su Mo was still sleeping in the living area of Hei Yao, Xiacheng District.
buzz~
Suddenly his phone vibrated.
Su Mo took a look at it, then sat up, and the collective training began.
He washed up a little bit, although Xiao Wen said before that he can participate if he wants to participate, and stay idle if he doesn't want to participate. But he has not been to the training camp several times in a row, which seems a bit unreasonable, especially since he is still receiving a high salary.
You must know that the normal salary is only about 3,000 federal currency, and this price was raised because participating in the expedition was life-threatening.
After a while, Su Mo bit a nutrition bar and ran towards the K52 training area.
After a long time, after going around and around, Su Mo finally found the K52 training area.
This ship is really too big, and the terrain is extremely complicated. If this is really hidden in some corner, it's really hard to find.
The entire K52 training area is super lively. There are at least tens of thousands of people gathered here, and ten different teams are training.
hey yo! hey yo!
Teams are running for regular physical fitness.
Although we have entered the interstellar era, the power of individual people has become very small, and various mechanical weapons have become mainstream. But having a strong physique is still the foundation to support everything.
"Hurry up, didn't you guys have breakfast?"
A training officer scolded loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
A soldier responded loudly.
Just hearing the sound makes one's blood boil.
...
Su Mo walked around in the training area, attracting a lot of attention, but the training officers ignored him when they saw the style of military uniform on him.
They could tell at a glance that Su Mo was hired from outside. Generally, there are two types of people who are hired from outside, one is related households who come to eat welfare and dawdle, and the other is those who have real skills.
Either way, external hires are very free.
Not long after, Su Mo found Xiao Wen and the others in the corner.
I saw Xiao Wen and the others forming a big circle.
Inside, a soldier is engaged in physical confrontation, free Sanda hand-to-hand combat.
"good!"
There was warm applause from time to time.
Su Mo also passed by at this time, Chen Shan saw Su Mo coming, and said with a smile.
"Why do you get up so early? We originally wanted to let you rest for a while before calling you."
"There's nothing to do when you're idle."
Su Mo sat directly beside Chen Shan and replied.
"You can visit the living area if you have nothing to do."
"Forget it, it's more interesting to be with you."
"Well said, why don't you go up and try it."
Chen Shan asked with a smile.
Lin Yue came over at this time, and complained: "Chen Shan, did you do it on purpose, and Su Mo is not a regular employee, so how can he know how to fight in hand-to-hand combat?"
"Uh, isn't this forgotten?"
Chen Shan was also embarrassed.
"It's okay, I just want to exercise my muscles."
Su Mo looked at the hand-to-hand combat on the field, and his hands were a little itchy. He hadn't fought with anyone for a long time since he left the teacher.
"Su Mo, you don't have to force it. Don't listen to Chen Shan's nonsense. It won't be good if you get hurt later."
"It's fine."
Su Mo was still very confident, so he stepped forward.
Xiao Wen, who was watching his subordinates fight hand-to-hand, was a little surprised to see Su Mo coming up, but he reacted immediately.
So he blew his whistle.
"Pause, does anyone want to try it with Mr. Su Mo?"
"me!"
All the soldiers on the field were eager to try. Except for the upper-level non-commissioned officers who knew Su Mo better, the others didn't know him at all. Therefore, I have always maintained a curious attitude towards this externally hired officer.
But due to Chen Shan and the others, no one dared to raise objections.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, you can try this guy's skills, one by one is like a chicken blood.
In fact, in the army, it is very simple to gain the respect of others, that is to show one's own ability.
"Qi Hang is yours, remember to click till the end."
Xiao Wen stretched out his finger and pointed to a big man who called him the most lovable.
"Don't worry, sir."
Qi Hang responded eagerly.
The others below booed one after another: "Qi Hang, don't lose, it would be embarrassing."
"Fuck you, I'm so good at fighting, when did I ever lose?"
Qi Hang scolded with a smile.
Then Qi Hang walked up to Su Mo, and the two saluted at the same time, Xiao Wen blew the whistle directly, and the duel began.
"Sorry, sir!"
After Qi Hang finished speaking, he punched Su Mo with a howling wind, not to mention that Qi Hang's fist was extremely fierce, especially since he was a Type I gene-enhanced person.
Even if this punch is an ordinary steel plate, he is confident that he can make a notch.
But in Su Mo's eyes, this punch was like a 10 times slower movement, and Su Mo felt it was very novel. Originally, he could easily dodge, but by accident, he wanted to give it a try, what would happen if he got hit.
So there was no dodging.
So Qi Hang punched Su Mo in the chest.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yuexin was also taken aback.
"Su Mo!"
Chen Shan's expression also changed slightly, it's a bad dish!
The people present were also puzzled, but Su Mo didn't escape. However, in the next second, a still surprising scene appeared.
Qi Hang, who punched Su Mo's chest, withdrew his hand suddenly, with a painful expression on his face.
The entire right fist was bleeding, and he felt like he was smashing into an alloy wall.
At this moment, Su Mo moved, he instinctively kicked it, and the moment he kicked it out. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he withdrew most of his strength in time.
But even so, Qi Hang raised his left hand to block!
Click!
The whole left hand made a crisp cracking sound, and then the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the ground heavily.
Su Mo's face changed suddenly, and he hurried forward to check.
"Are you OK."
"It's okay, it's just that my hand is broken."
Qi Hang covered his hands, with cold sweat on his face, and said while enduring the pain.
Seeing this, Xiao Wen turned his head and said to the subordinate next to him, "Send it to the medical room!"
"yes!"
Two soldiers hurried up to help Qi Hang leave.
Everyone present looked at Su Mo's eyes immediately changed, there was no contempt or doubt in their eyes, and they were full of admiration.
Xiao Wen was surprised to see that Su Mo could fight so well, so he asked.
"Another game?"
"No."
Su Mo resolutely refused, and he found that his body was out of the category of ordinary people. If it was changed to before, although he could defeat that person named Qi Hang, it is absolutely impossible to be so easy.
No matter what, you have to pass twice, instead of crushing. I can't fight anymore, there will be problems later, and it's hard to explain why I am so strong.
"Well, continue the free confrontation training. A strong body is the foundation of all of us. Only when you are strong can you better control the mecha. Tonight, the Black Glory will end its first sub-light flight, and then the ship will stop to rest. At that time, we will conduct mecha training in rotation, and those who have outstanding physical training during this period will give priority to mecha training at that time."
Xiao Wen said to everyone.
"clear!"
Everyone replied excitedly, it was as if they had been spat out, and finally they could touch the real mecha.
When Su Mo heard this, he became even more curious. He retreated to Lin Yue and Chen Shan, and asked in a low voice, "Are we assigned to a mecha?"
"It has been allocated, but the number is pitifully small. A total of 10 generation I mechas have been allocated, and not even one generation II mecha has been allocated."
Lin Yue said with a sigh.
"It's okay, there will be later."
Su Mo was also extremely surprised that even a second-generation mecha was not assigned a road.
"There's a fart. Because the number of II-generation mechas and III-generation mechas is extremely scarce, the higher-ups decided to use meritorious exchange. That is to say, whichever team completes the mission best in the next few days can be exchanged for high-level mechas first. , is it a competition after all?"
Chen Shan complained.
"All right."
Su Mo didn't say anything. Given the extreme shortage of resources, this might not be a good idea. Good steel should be used wisely.
"Su Mo, would you like to try the mech together tonight?"
Lin Yue asked Su Mo expectantly.
"Of course I will."
Su Mo himself hadn't touched a mecha for a long time, and he was feeling a little itchy.
At night, Su Mo and others were waiting in the training area.
At this time, a multi-purpose transport vehicle drove over, and then a brand-new black mecha was removed.
Everyone gathered around excitedly.
Su Mo also leaned over curiously, and looked up and down these I-generation mechas and iron guards.
In fact, from the appearance, these mechas are similar to the green shields, but their volume feels much lighter than the green shields, and there are six launch ports on the back.
It is relatively flexible and should be more suitable for space operations.
"A real mecha! It feels so cool!"
"Look at you, this is just a generation I mecha."
At this moment, a dull sound of footsteps woke everyone up.
Su Mo and the others turned their heads and looked over, only to see a 12-meter-tall black steel mecha with black and shiny armor, which was completely larger than the I-generation mecha by a whole circle.
"Wow, wow, the second-generation mecha!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.
"All line up and go up for a test drive one by one."
Xiao Wen's voice sounded inside the black steel mecha.
Immediately, everyone shouted excitedly: "It's Lord Xiao Wen, Lord Xiao Wen has a second-generation mecha!"
The excited shouts immediately attracted the other training teams nearby, and the other sergeant chiefs suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"Old Xiao, why do you have a second-generation mech, but we don't."
Xiao Wen turned to them and shouted, "Go and buy it yourself."
"Damn! You're awesome."
Hearing Xiao Wen's words, the Master Chiefs were all downcast, how could they have money to buy them, the ones were as expensive as dogs.
Chen Shan patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said, "Let's go up and try the Tiewei mecha together."
"good!"
Su Mo walked towards an iron guard.
Soon Su Mo climbed into the cab of Tiewei. He saw that he was familiar with the operation interface, and it was very easy to get started.
He closed the cockpit, tried to pull the operating lever, and the entire Iron Guard mecha moved.
Su Mo began to drive the iron guard to move a little bit, and he obviously felt a little jerky. I don't know why, but the degree of simulation in Star Ring is 100%, but when driving in reality, it still feels a little different from Star Ring.
No, it should be more of a psychological barrier.
Su Mo soon discovered the problem.
At this moment, there was a loud bang!
One Iron Guard Mecha had just walked a few steps and fell down.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shan scolded with both distress and anger: "I told you, there is still a little difference between reality and virtuality. Don't think that you can control mechs in the star ring, and the reality will be very easy. Muscles need memory. Yes, mechs need to be adjusted, cheer me up and don't make such low-level mistakes."
"Yes, Chief Chen Shan."
The subordinate who fell panicked and controlled the mecha to get up.
The non-commissioned officer of the other teams next to him smiled and said to his subordinates: "Have you seen it? That is the best lesson from the past. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, cheer me up and get familiar with the mech a little bit. Don't pull the power with your hands. full."
At this moment, Su Mo pushed the power lever to the end, and the power unit of the Iron Guard mecha hummed.
At the same time the rear jets are opened.
In the next second, Su Mo drove the iron guard and rushed out at low altitude, and circled the entire training ground twice.
The movement is very light and flexible. From time to time, Su Mo even controls the mecha to test other functions!
"How handsome!"
The soldiers present applauded excitedly and whistled!
At this time, the sergeant chiefs stretched out their hands and patted the heads of the booing soldiers one by one.
"What are you talking about? They have the ability to open it like this. Don't open it like this, you idiots. It will break and I can't fix it!"
"Uh, it's the officer."
"But Grandma Xiong, who is that guy? His skills are so good, but it's a pity that he's not my soldier."
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo drove the iron guard to an emergency stop in mid-air, and fell heavily. The whole mecha stood on the ground with one hand, and then stood up steadily.
"Officer Su Mo is mighty!!!"
Many soldiers were extremely excited watching Su Mo driving the mecha.
Chen Shan also said with emotion: "I feel that Su Mo's technology is getting better and better. Although theoretically, I can drive like this. But I really dare not do it as soon as I touch the mecha."
Lin Yue replied with a smile: "It's not easy, Mr. Chen Shan, you also have times to admit cowardice."
"Go, go, I can get acquainted with it."
Chen Shan couldn't hold back on his face.
In the cab, Su Mo touched the buttons on the console, feeling extremely comfortable, although the performance of this iron guard is really not good. It uses a high-enrichment fuel engine, but its operability is still good in the first-generation machine.
In addition, Su Mo found that since the injection of the genetic medicine, his nerve response became faster.
Can easily do some difficult tricks.
