"This method is not only applicable to conventional weapons, but also to Space Weapons."
"I hope you can not only load conventional weapons onto the Mecha, but also Space Weapons, and that the accuracy and firing speed meet my standards."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she led them to another training room.
"There's no need for real Mecha here; this is a Mecha simulation training room. You need to strengthen your skills in both areas simultaneously, and this training method is more effective."
This training method was nothing new to Xia Chujian.
She had practiced this stuff at the Special Security Bureau Branch Station training ground in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star.
It was virtual reality, practicing the body's own reaction capabilities.
But for these fifty people, it was both exciting and apprehensive.
Li Dali said to Xia Chujian uneasily, "...Are we, too, allowed to use this system for training?"
Xia Chujian blinked. "Of course, why do you ask?"
"...But, we Starry Sky Marines are not allowed to access this training module." Sun Jiahao explained honestly, "Doesn't this violate military discipline?"
Xia Chujian was puzzled. "...The military has such a rule?"
"Yes..." everyone murmured.
Although they were very envious of this system, they still didn't dare to use it, fearing it would cause trouble for Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian hadn't expected this problem.
She frowned, walked around the training room a few times, and said, "Which regulation is it? Can you tell me specifically?"
She wanted to see if there were any loopholes to exploit.
Everyone turned their attention to a middle-aged man among them who had a more scholarly air.
Xia Chujian looked at the badge on his chest: Second Lieutenant Wu Shanfeng, Captain of the 4th Starry Sky Marine Team of the Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruiser.
She simply called out his name: "Second Lieutenant Wu, do you know which military regulation or discipline it is?"
Wu Shanfeng wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
He stepped forward, stood at attention, and saluted Xia Chujian, saying, "Captain, specifically speaking, there is no clear regulation or military law, but this is a customary rule in the Interstellar Fleet. Because we Starry Sky Marines are the largest group in the Interstellar Fleet, and this kind of training equipment..."
He pointed to the virtual reality systems in the training room and continued, "...Even the upper-level pilots and officers have to queue to use them, so we have even less chance. Later, the superiors made it clear that we Starry Sky Marines cannot use these training devices, because it's useless for us anyway."
Xia Chujian was relieved to hear this, and said with a smile, "So there are no specific laws or regulations, then it's fine. There are two hundred training systems here, and there are only fifty of you. You can use one, watch one, and still have some left over!"
Everyone stood there looking at each other, but still didn't dare to step forward and use them.
Xia Chujian was a little anxious.
They only had four hours left, and she didn't know to what extent they could train. She was just acting on the principle of grabbing whatever she could and not missing out on any advantages, urging them to improve themselves quickly.
Her voice turned cold: "What are you waiting for? Does my word not count?"
Sun Jiahao stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Captain, although there are no clear laws or regulations prohibiting it, the entire Military from top to bottom recognizes this restriction. If you let us use it, we'll actually be fine, because we're already at the bottom, and can't go any lower."
"But you have unlimited potential, so don't let this incident cause those people to target you and add black marks to your military record."
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows. "...Who would be so bored as to remember this? - It's okay, I have people above me, you can use it as much as you want. Hurry up, in four hours, I want to see results!"
Hearing her say that she had people above her, everyone was a little tempted.
Li Dali tentatively asked, "Captain, are you familiar with any officers?"
Xia Chujian smiled and brought out the names of two Nobles families she had taken advantage of: "I'm quite familiar with the Zong Family and the Quan Family."
"Ah?! The Captain has such a strong backing! Then it's okay, hahaha!" These simple and honest men were overjoyed when they heard this.
Without saying a word, they entered the training room, got on the virtual training system, put on their helmets and goggles, and began training.
Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the time; there were still five hours before they reached their destination.
When these people finished training, it would be almost time to go to the battlefield.
Xia Chujian guided them from the side for more than an hour, and was gratified to find that these people were really smart.
After only an hour or so of training in the virtual system, their skills and techniques had improved significantly.
This showed that they all had potential before, but they just didn't have the opportunity to compete equally with the Nobles.
Seeing that they were on the right track and didn't need her to watch them anymore, Xia Chujian asked the five captains to be responsible for the following training projects, and to come directly to her if they had any problems.
She returned to the Captain's Room on the third floor and began to ponder what those eighteen Falcon-Class D1 Starry Sky Cruisers were, which side they belonged to, or which country's forces.
At this time, two Navigators opened the communication system and requested to speak with her.
Xia Chujian pressed the accept button.
A virtual display screen rose in front of her, showing the face of Navigator A1 Qi Hongsheng.
He looked disapproving and frowned, saying, "Captain, did you let those Starry Sky Marines touch the Mecha?"
Xia Chujian said coldly, "Is that your place to ask? Shut up, say one more word and you can get out of the Navigation Room."
Qi Hongsheng looked at her in surprise, completely unexpected that this young female Captain would be so unreasonable.
He frowned and said, "Captain, now is not the time to lose your temper. You have talent and a bright future, why sacrifice your beautiful future for this group of...Marines?"
Xia Chujian didn't indulge him and said directly, "Navigator A1, you are now dismissed. Leave the Navigation Room immediately and go to Confinement Room 01 on the third floor to await orders."
Qi Hongsheng was completely stunned. This Captain didn't even mention his name, and didn't take him seriously at all!
Because he was too shocked, it took him a while to say, "You can't dismiss me."
Xia Chujian's anger was also about to get out of control.
Was this really the Interstellar Fleet?! Was she really the Captain?! These people didn't take her seriously at all!
She wasn't afraid of facing five hundred Starry Sky Marines alone on the fifth floor just now, so why would she care about this one person?
Xia Chujian took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and connected to Navigator A2's communicator, saying, "You escort Navigator A1 out of the Navigation Room. He has been dismissed."
Unexpectedly, Navigator A2 also said, "Captain, you can't dismiss him! We need two Navigators to navigate, otherwise we won't be able to control the course."
Xia Chujian finally became furious: "Nonsense! The Cruiser has a navigation system controlled by Mechanical Intelligence! Do you really think you are more useful than Mechanical Intelligence?! You are also dismissed. You're not coming out, are you? I'll personally send you to the Confinement Room!"
She stood up abruptly and walked towards the Navigation Room.
The Navigation Room was also on the third floor, not far from the Captain's Room.
Xia Chujian walked over quickly, but found that the door of the Navigation Room was locked from the inside.
Xia Chujian was almost laughed at by her own anger.
Did they think that as long as she couldn't open the door, they could be safe and sound?
This Fourth Interstellar Fleet was indeed full of oddballs! Xia Chujian directly took out the Qu Zhong 110 Handgun, aimed it at the door's smart lock, and with a bang, directly shot through the smart lock, even penetrating the bulkhead, creating a hole.
From this hole, you could see the situation inside the cabin.
Of course, Xia Chujian wouldn't bend down to look at this small hole.
She kicked open the door of the Navigation Room, and pointed the handgun at the two flustered Navigators, saying, "Now, I'll count to three. If you don't leave this Navigation Room, I'll treat you as Rebels."
The two Navigators then panicked and got up, running out quickly.
After running out of the door of the Navigation Room, Qi Hongsheng said, "Captain, now is not the time to act on impulse. Without a Navigator, who knows where this Cruiser will fly!"
Xia Chujian sneered: "Then let the heavens see where it will fly! - Now, you go to the Confinement Room, within one minute, or I'll shoot."
The two Navigators didn't even have time to look at each other, and immediately ran to the nearest Confinement Room.
After they went in, Gu Zhongjin, the pilot who once admired Xia Chujian the most, ran over from the control panel panting, and said, "Captain! What happened?!"
Xia Chujian looked back at him, still holding the handgun in her hand, her finger on the trigger, and said, "You lock this Confinement Room."
Gu Zhongjin scratched his head and said, "But I don't have the key!"
"Where is the key?"
"Captain, your fingerprint can open and close all the cabins and system equipment here."
Xia Chujian: "..."
I was careless, I had no idea the Captain had this privilege.
But she wasn't too regretful.
It was her first time being a Captain, and she was rushed into the position without any experience.
Not knowing wasn't shameful.
Xia Chujian nodded and walked over to study the smart lock on the Confinement Room door.
Then, from the half-open door of the Confinement Room, she heard the two Navigators laughing contemptuously inside.
"...What a bumpkin, she doesn't even know how to use a smart fingerprint lock, and she's using a gun..."
"How would I know she doesn't know how to use it? Actually, whether it's locked or not is the same to her, and she actually fired a gun..."
How much resentment did they have about her firing a gun?
Xia Chujian didn't even look at them, she just raised her hand and fired two shots, *bang bang*, into the bulkhead above their heads.
The two of them were sitting cross-legged on the floor, with their backs against the Confinement Room bulkhead.
Xia Chujian's two shots scared them so much that they wet their pants on the spot.
Gu Zhongjin smelled a urine stench, clicked his tongue twice, and waved at the two inside: "...If I were you, I would stay put and not continue to cause trouble."
Even if they had more opinions, they didn't dare to say another word at this moment.
Xia Chujian finally got the smart fingerprint lock working and locked the Confinement Room.
She changed the setting program of the fingerprint lock, confirming that only her fingerprint could open the door.
Then she said to Gu Zhongjin, "Go in and search them. They can't carry any guns, daggers, or controlled knives. Also, they can't have any food."
Drinks were fine, Xia Chujian didn't plan to take them away.
This is the first update. The second update will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
My dearies, you can cast your guaranteed Moon Tickets! It's Monday, so I'm also asking for a wave of Recommendation Tickets! Thank you, dearies, for catching the bugs, I've revised the previous chapters.
