Upon hearing that voice, Chǔ Qìngchén's face turned green with shock! It was a slap in the face! Utterly humiliating!
This Xia Chujian hadn't disappeared?! He thought those warplanes that hadn't been found by the base's airships were as good as gone...
But before he could dwell on it, other trainees were already exclaiming...
"What?! Am I hearing things?! Did I just hear Xia Chujian's voice?!"
"Am I hallucinating?! Was that the public communication channel?!"
"I miss our Sister Xia so much... I must be mistaken... Sister Xia, Sister Xia! Where are you?!"
Many trainees and instructors became excited, asking in their groups if everyone else had heard it too.
Yu Fei, feeling like he had escaped death, directly and excitedly shouted at Xia Chujian on the public communication channel.
"Xia Chujian?! Is that really you?! You didn't disappear?! You really brought the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Falcon-class Star Cruiser to save us?!"
The trainees here were all elite pilots from the Interstellar Fleet, so they knew what level of weaponry the Interstellar Fleet's Falcon-class Star Cruiser represented!
Although the Falcon-class was the lowest level of Star Cruiser, compared to their Starry Sky Fighters, it was a weapon of a geometrically higher order!
It was like the difference between conventional weapons and Space-Based Weapons! The Star Pirates' ships looked to be about the same size as a Star Cruiser.
But could Star Pirates be more powerful than the Regular Army?! Xia Chujian had brought a Star Cruiser from the Regular Army! Everyone's morale soared.
Hearing Yu Fei's voice, Xia Chujian immediately said, "Instructor Yu, this is Xia Chujian. I didn't disappear. I arrived at Cangge Star's Interstellar Terminal long ago. After learning that you lost contact in the Asteroid Belt, I volunteered to come and assist you."
"We have limited time, so I'll get straight to the point. You must follow my orders."
"First, all of you must relinquish control of your warplanes and airships to allow our Star Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence to take over."
"Second, anyone unwilling to relinquish control should leave immediately. I will not rescue such people."
"Third, no rebuttals will be accepted. If you have any objections, wait until you can return alive and sue me in Military Court. Over."
Xia Chujian came in with three axes, stunning everyone.
She had no choice.
Because there were Star Pirates' spies among those trainees and instructors.
She couldn't give them time to contact the Star Pirates.
If the Star Pirates knew the Regular Army was coming, they would run away immediately. How else could she pretend not to know the Star Pirates' plan and annihilate them all!
Moreover, without the cooperation of those one hundred and ninety-odd warplanes and ten Interstellar Airships, she wasn't confident she could deliver a devastating blow to the Bodhi Leaf organization.
She didn't even dare to tell them that she only brought one Star Cruiser...
After all, the Star Pirates had eighteen ships. If those people knew she only had one, they probably wouldn't be willing to risk it with her.
After Xia Chujian said these three things, no one objected, but those troublemakers from before spoke up.
"Sister Xia is awesome! Now that Sister Xia is here, we don't need to install the Brain-Computer Interface, right?!"
With these people taking the lead, the trainees who had been forced to agree before also expressed their unwillingness to install the Brain-Computer Interface.
Xia Chujian had actually known about the Brain-Computer Interface from Seven Lù long ago, but at this time, she could only pretend not to know, coldly saying, "With the situation so urgent, where is there time to install a Brain-Computer Interface?!"
"Enough talk, I'll count to three, and you will all relinquish control of your warplanes and airships. The Cruiser's Mechanical Intelligence will quickly take over. If anyone doesn't relinquish control, please leave immediately!"
Last time, Xia Chujian only united one hundred and fifty warplanes. Those Nobles and their supporters did not accept Xia Chujian's command.
But this time, Xia Chujian couldn't allow any warplanes to escape her control.
After all, the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates had three Starships of true Star Cruiser level, and a total of six Space Ion Beam Cannons that could be fired!
And she only had two Space Ion Beam Cannons here...
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she began to count.
Actually, this was just a ruse.
Just as Xia Chujian spoke, Seven Lù had quietly taken over those one hundred and ninety-one Starry Sky Fighters and ten Interstellar Airships, following the electromagnetic field of the public communication channel.
And luckily, Seven Lù took over early, because it really discovered that someone in an instructor's Interstellar Airship was trying to send up a signal flare!
Seven Lù disrupted the program for sending signal flares on that Interstellar Airship, preventing the other party's signal flare from being sent successfully.
If it was just one second later, the Star Pirates would have received the news and might have retreated immediately...
Xia Chujian didn't want such a huge "military achievement," which she had worked so hard for, to slip away from her grasp!
And Xia Chujian's "do what I say" crazy style in the base had a certain deterrent effect on those nobles and their supporters.
Even Lü Luyu, who was most at odds with her, reluctantly relinquished control of the Warplane when she counted to three.
And the one hundred and fifty trainees who had trusted her from the beginning relinquished control as early as when she counted to one.
Chen Yansheng even shouted excitedly in the public channel: "Sister Xia! Sister Xia! I am Chen Yansheng, your loyal dog! Let me tell you, there may be Star Pirate spies among us! Don't trust anyone!"
Xia Chujian was wondering how to hint to everyone that there were spies among them, but she didn't expect Chen Yansheng to hand her a ladder directly.
Chen Yansheng's words were actually in the hearts of many trainees, but they had no evidence, just a little suspicion.
Xia Chujian immediately seized the opportunity and said loudly: "Ah?! Then I have to be more careful!"
"Now change the second rule! Anyone who refuses to relinquish control of their Warplane or Interstellar Airship will be treated as a Star Pirate spy and killed on the spot!"
Then she closed the communication channel with them and ordered Seven Lù separately: "Identify Chen Yansheng's Warplane that just shouted and give it special protection."
She was worried that Chen Yansheng would be retaliated against by the Star Pirate spies.
And although she had Seven Lù take over everyone's Warplanes and Interstellar Airships, Xia Chujian was still a little uneasy about taking over so many at once.
In case Seven Lù's computing power suddenly had a problem and allowed some Warplanes to slip through, it would cause trouble.
Seven Lù's little child's voice became serious, saying in a milky and solemn tone: "Master, don't worry, Seven Lù can control these Warplanes and Airships!"
Xia Chujian somewhat treated it as a child and praised it casually: "Good boy."
Unexpectedly, Seven Lù was as excited as if it had been injected with chicken blood and immediately compiled a plan for Xia Chujian, mainly on how to use the one hundred and ninety-one Warplanes and ten Interstellar Airships to annihilate the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates organization's eighteen Starships.
It put the general process on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display screen.
Xia Chujian glanced at it, thought it was reliable, and nodded, saying: "Use your plan after I destroy the opponent's Space Ion Beam Cannon."
Saying that, she gave orders to the two hundred Mecha warriors she brought through the communication system in the Mecha.
Five seconds later, the two hundred Mecha warriors instantly divided into several groups and flew to their respective destinations.
Xia Chujian quietly hovered high in the air, checking the direction those people were heading.
In front, the eighteen Starships of the Star Pirates organization were still unaware, still neatly arranged in a spherical shape.
At the highest point was the largest and most complete ship among the eighteen Starships.
Below it, two slightly smaller and equally complete ships were arranged on the left and right.
Then there were the ten Starships converted from scrapped Cruisers, which could only be used as transport planes, and were now there to make up the numbers.
They formed the widest band in the encirclement.
Below them were the five outdated old-model Cruisers converted into Starships, which were a little stronger than the ten scrapped ones, equipped with some Space Weapons, but far inferior to the three Starships at the top that were converted from Regular Cruisers.
But no matter how bad they were, they were still eighteen Starships of the Falcon-class Star Cruiser level.
They were like eighteen mountains standing in the empty void of the Asteroid Belt.
Compared with them, the two hundred six-meter-high Mecha warriors looked like moths flying into a flame.
But Xia Chujian was full of confidence, and through Seven Lù, she kept in touch with the captains of the two hundred people.
The fastest one hundred people, under the coordination of the captain, and the remaining people divided into nine groups, each group of eleven people, quietly stepped onto the Starships numbered from nine to seventeen.
These were the nine of the ten Starships converted from scrapped Cruisers, which had no combat power at all.
And the eighteenth Starship was the Star Pirate ship that Xia Chujian had already dealt with. She didn't send anyone over, intending to keep it for herself.
Moreover, because Seven Lù had already controlled the Mechanical Intelligence system on the eighteenth Starship, the Star Pirates on the other Starships had not yet discovered that something had happened to that Starship.
They only thought that the magnetic field of the Asteroid Belt had affected the communication system again, which also happened frequently. In short, the Starship was still floating there normally without any change, so they were not worried.
Also, because of their current location, even in the Asteroid Belt, it was very remote. They really didn't worry about any accidents happening.
Because they were always the accident for those Interstellar Spaceships, they never thought that someone would become their accident...
When those Starry Sky Marines of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, following the positions Xia Chujian had given them in advance, entered the gravity fields of those Starships, stood firm on the top decks, and sent signals one by one.
"Report to the Captain, Squad 3, Group 1/Group 2/…/Group 9, have reached the target ships. Report complete."
Only then did Xia Chujian issue the mission: "Plant explosives and blow up the power systems of these ten Starships."
Then, she transmitted the locations of the power systems of these ten Starships, which had been modified from decommissioned Cruisers.
Each Starship had four cabins, and the power system was located in the center of the cabins.
For these decommissioned Cruisers, which could only be used as transport ships, these four cabins were their most important structures.
Therefore, they would definitely be heavily guarded.
Xia Chujian did not give specific instructions on how to do it.
She gave them enough trust and freedom.
These people were all ordinary soldier kings whose genes could not evolve, and they might not be of much use in Starship battles in Space.
But when they boarded the Starships for close combat, and wore Mecha that could defend against a certain amount of Mental Strength, even high-level Gene Evolvers could fight them.
This is the first update, the second update will be at one o'clock in the afternoon.
