Chapter 653: Co On, Let’s Go!
Editor: Henyee Translations There were operator suits readily prepared in the changing room.
Ling Lan’s group of six quickly changed into the operator suit that fit their body sizes.
The operator suit had anti-pressure and anti-shock functions.
This suit was required to be worn by all cha operators who were about to board a cha.
However, if the situation was dire, this step could be omitted.
However the results of that would be that the cha operators who survived the ensuing battle would be severely injured.
Great harm would be brought to the cha operators if they battled without the protection of the operator suit and just relied on their flesh and bones.
Ling Lan’s group of six ran back to the holding area and ward up their bodies along the way.
This way, their operating speed would not be affected by warming their bodies up first.
Every cha had its own corresponding operator.
Ling Lan and the others also had their own chas.
This was the arrangent from the very beginning.
Ling Lan took out the activation key that belonged to their chas and scanned the key at the sensors in the holding area.
“Clink, clank, clunk…” Suddenly a flat tal wall in front of them suddenly rose up and showed a groove like area.
Inside it, there was a well-made, epic-looking and massive cha.
Compared to the chas outside, this cha was more beautiful and detailed.
One look would make anyone know that this cha was on a completely different level compared to those outside.
Ling Lan knew that this cha belonged to her.
It was no wonder that after looking around, Ling Lan only saw chas below special-class level.
She was still thinking where Feiyang had hidden the cha that belonged to her.
She didn’t hesitate and walked to the feet of the cha.
At the sa ti, she pressed activation button on the cha’s key.
“Bam!” The cockpit suddenly opened.
Ling Lan put force into her feet and jumped into the air.
After that, her foot stepped on the outer parts of the cha.
Using this force, she got into the cockpit in an instant.
This was the result of Ling Lan showing restraint.
Otherwise, Ling Lan didn’t even need the extra step and would instantly fly into the cockpit.
“Clank!” The cockpit closed once again.
Ling Lan activated the cha that currently belonged to her.
After finishing the mission, this cha would be her very own ace cha.
Ling Lan’s ace cha was a balanced cha with standard equipnts.
At the start, Ling Lan did also consider whether or not she should choose a close combat cha.
However, when she saw that Qi Long and Zhao Jun not hesitating in choosing the close combat type chas, and Li Yingjie also chose close combat, Ling Lan couldn’t help but painfully give up on the thought.
In order to make sure they could cover long range fights, Ling Lan could only choose a balanced cha.
Additionally, with Li Lanfeng’s balanced cha and Lin Zhong-qing’s long range cha, their battle team’s composition was balanced.
This outco saddened Ling Lan a little bit.
Why did her small team have this many violent individuals?!
At that mont, Ling Lan hadn’t realized that the reason why there were so many violent individuals in her team was because of how violent of a captain she was herself.
Wasn’t there a saying of so sort where people would say ‘Soldiers are the spitting images of their generals’?
The few chances that Ling Lan had shown her close range abilities, her performances were quite ruthless.
These performances stimulated her team mbers to beco more ruthless.
This stimulation made them greatly admire the rciless, unreasonable and powerful pressure close combat brought upon an opponent.
The activity in the holding area instantly alerted a staff mber who had just finished inspecting a cha.
He didn’t stop for a second and brought his optical supercomputer with him as he walked over to Ling Lan.
When he saw that the activated cha was an ace cha, he was about to shout in excitent.
However, he realized that that would be a show of poor behavior, he quickly stopped his voice from coming out of his mouth.
He looked around quickly and discovered that his comrades hadn’t discovered the ace cha.
He then excitedly walked to this ace cha that was activated.
“Serial number: L6-W1.” Although the staff mber tried his best to contain his excitent, but the first few words that he said showed a hint of excitent and nervousness.
When he said the serial number of the cha, his voice was trembling.
It couldn’t be helped.
Feiyang was once a military starship, but it was only a standard warship.
The chas that were paired with the warship only had special-class chas as their highest level chas.
As a maintenance personnel who worked only on one warship for his entire life, he never thought he would one day be able to service an ace cha.
If he returned to the Federation alive, he will definitely brag about this fact to other maintenance personnel from other warships.
The dream of a cha maintenance personnel, and his goal in life was to beco a maintenance personnel exclusively for a single ace cha.
“Yes!” Ling Lan’s calm and collected voice made the staff mber tremble.
His originally excited and jumpy mood suddenly cald down.
As expected of an ace operator, just the sound of his voice was enough to calm a person down.
The staff mber showed an expression of admiration.
In the eyes of a maintenance personnel like himself, ace operators were legendary individuals they looked up to.
“I will now begin the inspection…” The staff mber instantly got into his role.
He began to carefully examine the data of the cha.
His eyes fixated on the images shown on the optical supercomputer.
he was afraid that he would miss sothing.
The work that made him felt numb originally, now gave him imnse pressure.
He was afraid that he would miss sothing and in the end cause a regrettable outco.
Sweat began to drip from the staff mber’s forehead.
The inspection only lasted a short 10 seconds, but in these 10 seconds, he actually had sweat all over his body.
His work clothes was also soaked in sweat.
“Serial number: L6-W1, check is complete!
It is able to join the battle!” After examining that everything was fine, the staff mber imdiately pulled out the connecting wire, pulled down his microphone and shouted out that the inspection was complete.
At that mont, the staff mber let out a sigh of relief.
Also, he finally got to know what it felt like to be a maintenance personnel exclusively for one single ace cha and the amount of pressure that he needed to endure.
The staff mber believed that if he continued doing this, he would definitely die young because of the imnse pressure.
The cha engineer made it seem as though his job was very simple as he only looked at so data details.
However, his duties were not that easy.
His job was the most important last line of defense in protecting cha operators.
Sotis, when chas were activated, the cha wouldn’t be able to detect hidden malfunctions.
The optical supercomputer connected from the outside was like a bystander who could clearly see all the problems.
History had taught everyone that malfunctions of a cha was even more terrifying than an enemy.
Back then when cha engineers were not valued, there would only be a single cha engineer for a large team of chas.
Those smaller cha teams did not even have a single cha engineer.
The price these cha teams paid were painful after they overlooked the importance of cha engineers.
Once, a starship fleet encountered an enemy fleet.
A large scale battle would take place.
Without enough cha engineers on board doing ergency inspections, one of the cha teams didn’t have their chas inspected and went into battle… In the end, these cha operators didn’t die by the hands of their enemies, but rather by a virus that was hiding within the cha’s operating system.
At the end of the battle, the entire cha clan consisted of 380 people only had less than 10 people survive.
The only reason these people were able to survive was because their chas had just gotten the virus in their system.
The virus didn’t take effect yet.
That was why these few cha operators were able to survive the battle.
This painful truth made the Federation no longer be neglectful and looked down on the soldiers who were cha engineers.
Although the final investigation of the situation showed results that the cha engineer on duty was partially responsible due to neglecting the odd behaviors of the chas’ operating systems, a tragedy like this perhaps wouldn’t have happened if the cha clan had more than just one cha engineer.
The lesson learned from this bloodshed had made the Federation decisively increase the amount of cha engineers.
The Federation lowered the necessary requirents and also gave commoners chances to join the military.
Afterwards, there was one outstanding cha engineer, who was following a certain general, had shown amazing skills in cha repair during one of their missions.
Before the reinforcents had arrived, the group had very little resources left and their chas were also damaged beyond repair.
This cha engineer managed to extend the life of the chas using the limited amount of resources they had.
In the end, through this act, the group managed to hold out until reinforcents arrived.
After that general had climbed to the top of the military rankings, that cha engineer beca one of the higher-ups of the military as well and was given the rank of Major General.
Just like that, a commoner, who did not have a strong physical constitution nor high intelligence, used his own skills in repair and observation to beco a general that people admired.
This was a real story about how a commoner beca a part of history.
This individual made cha engineer to instantly beco a sought after job for commoners who were aiming to change their fate.
Afterwards, becoming a cha engineer beca a popular choice in the military.
Even now with all the cha engineers within the Federation, standard operators still couldn’t have the luxury of having one engineer for their cha.
However, the number of engineers was still enough for one engineer for one group, one engineer for two special-class chas and one engineer for one ace cha.
Only ace operator had their own cha engineers.
The staff mber who checked Ling Lan’s L6-W1 reported to the holding area’s JMC.
In the next second, the JMC in the holding area connected with Ling Lan’s communicator: “Attention L6-W1.
Attention L6-W1.
You have been arranged to be ejected out of port number three.
Please prepare to join the battle.” After the JMC finished, Ling Lan’s cha was moved to port number three.
The JMC who was responsible for port number three saw that her work area had a new cha that had arrived.
So she imdiately raised her head, then shouted with surprise, “Ah!” Her voice startled the other JMCs beside her, “Little Qing, what’s wrong?” “Ace cha.
It’s an ace cha.” The JMC called Little Qing pointed at the screen in front of her as she shouted.
Her words instantly excited the other JMCs.
They all looked towards her direction.
After seeing that it was indeed a Federation standard-issue balanced ace cha, the other JMCs all joined in and scread in excitent.
Their team leader saw them and imdiately had a serious expression on her face, “This a war zone, why aren’t you people at your posts?” The JMCs knew they did sothing wrong.
They didn’t dare to make a sound and all went back to their posts.
“L6-W1 ready!
Requesting to join the battle!” Ling Lan quickly examined the cha and found that everything was ready.
She then pushed down on the communication button to port number three’s JMC.
“Yes, please wait for a mont!” This JMC’s voice was trembling a bit, but it was still clear.
“Performing final checks.
B17 movent normal.
Oxygen system functioning normally.
Weapons standard type.
Checks completed, ejection permitted!” “And I’m rooting for you!” The JMC from port number three suddenly added these few words.
Although she couldn’t see the appearance of the cha operator who wore the helt in her video feed, her heart still skipped a beat from the calm and collected gaze of the operator.
She impulsively shouted out those words.
After saying those words, Little Qing woke up from her trance and her face beca pale.
She actually went against the rules regarding actions of the JMC.
If this ace operator was to formally complain about her, she would definitely be expelled from the military.
Little Qing seed to have already begun to feel the mockery and disdain from those around her.
Her eyes began to water, but she could only hold it in.
Since she had done sothing wrong, then she must accept the result.
Why should she be crying at this ti?
Hearing the JMC’s words, Ling Lan was stunned for a second.
This was against the rules… Ling Lan raised her head and looked at the JMC’s image on her cha’s screen.
She saw that this JMC had an expression of terror along with the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
It seed that she understood that she had made a mistake.
Those words seed to be said accidentally, not purposefully… However, it didn’t matter.
This was the JMC’s encouragent to Ling Lan.
Ling Lan closed her eyes and politely replied, “Thank you!” The cold and calm voice shot the word of thanks straight into Little Qing’s ear.
It was like the sound from heaven and almost made her faint.
Ah ah ah, that operator didn’t bla her and even thanked her.
Little Qing felt she was very lucky.
Her first ti servicing an ace operator actually had her t such a reasonable person who didn’t complain about her breaking the rules.
Since the operator was already so busy, she couldn’t continue taking his ti.
Little Qing took a deep breath and sucked in her tears back into her eyes.
Then she pushed down on the countdown button.
The port along with the cha’s screen began the countdown at the sa ti.
“5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Take off!” “Whoosh!” The cha shot out through the tunnel.
Simultaneously, the cha’s engine roared as the cha moved through space like lightning.
Right as Little Qing had sent off the ace operator from her side, her comrades, the other JMCs, all scread in excitent.
It turns out that they had also received the individual they were going to service and they were all ace chas.
Ports one to four all had one ace operator appear and Little Qing received yet another ace operator.
That ant that there were a total of five ace operators.
This surprised all of the JMCs.
Why would such a simple transport mission have five ace operators appear during the mission?
What important mission did they accept?
Since it was that important, why would the mission be given to a standard warship such as theirs?
The excitent of the girls from the appearance of five ace operators was all seen by the team leader.
Her mature face showed a hint of concern.
Only she knew that another group of JMCs at ports five to eight had serviced six ace operators long before this current group of JMCs.
Since there were 11 ace operators appearing at the sa ti, along with how their warship was modified in secret for an entire year, the team leader knew that the mission they had taken up was not any average mission.
She only hoped that with the protection of these 11 ace operators, they would be able to complete the transport mission.
