"Nuclear radiation can indeed cause serious Genetic Diseases! That Captain Xia is right!"
Some more cautious individuals had already contacted the Starry Sky Marines on the other Cruisers.
They had friends or relatives on the other Cruisers.
Now they were all arriving at Senze Star via Interstellar Airships.
These people also chimed in, "I contacted my cousin-in-law in the Second Interstellar Fleet, and they are indeed undergoing Mecha piloting training!"
"Their Captain said that if they can't pilot a Mecha, they can't go out on missions!"
Another said, "I also contacted my friend in the Third Interstellar Fleet, and they are also undergoing Mecha piloting training!"
"And they said that Mechas aren't that difficult! Twelve hours of training is more than enough!"
Earlier, some people could dismiss Xia Chujian's words as alarmist.
But now, with both witnesses and evidence, Chu Qingchen and the others couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
At this moment, Seven Lù suddenly unlocked the external communication system of Chu Qingchen and the other Captain's Room.
These people had been panicking because they had discovered that their external communication system wasn't working.
When the communication system suddenly opened, they immediately roared, "Xia Chujian, what do you want?!"
"You're interfering with military affairs! Your future in the Military is over!"
Xia Chujian said unhurriedly, "Fellow classmates from the base, you're overthinking it. I'm just thinking about the safety of your subordinate soldiers."
"I think you're underestimating the level of nuclear radiation on this planet."
"The moment your soldiers leave this Starship Airship, their attrition rate will be one hundred percent."
"Without these soldiers, how do you plan to find the Longevity Flying Fish?"
"Just the five of you?"
"This planet is almost as big as the moon of Kanli Star, are you really going to rely on yourselves?"
"Well, if that's your intention, then I've overstepped my bounds."
"I will report the situation to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet myself."
"I will return control of the Airship to you, and after twelve hours, when these Starry Sky Marines have learned to pilot Mechas, you can control the Airship."
"Fellow classmates, we are not in a competitive relationship. Don't forget, the Military promised us that as long as we return alive, we will all be promoted!"
Previously, Chu Qingchen had always used the competitive relationship to reject her suggestions. Xia Chujian didn't want to argue with him, so she never exposed him.
This time, the situation was urgent, and she was bound to offend him severely, so she decided to throw all pretense aside and expose everything.
As expected, Xia Chujian's words directly shut Chu Qingchen down.
Chu Qingchen wasn't good with words. Although his status and position were the highest among this group of Nobles students, he always hid behind when it came to verbal battles.
Now that Xia Chujian had rendered him speechless, Zhuo Hanchen immediately followed up, saying, "Is Captain Xia not allowing others to speak after overstepping her authority?"
"We were originally holding a meeting to discuss this issue. Everyone was thinking of sending people out to scout the way first, and then decide whether or not to let them learn Mechas."
"You're rushing in like this, are you really trying to ride on our heads?"
"Yes, we may not be in a competitive relationship, but we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship either!"
Zhuo Hanchen's words were much sharper. He even tried to argue that they were considering letting the Starry Sky Marines practice with Mechas!
Wasn't that nonsense?! Xia Chujian wouldn't tolerate him.
She calmly released the previous call with Chu Qingchen.
The cunning Seven Lù probably recorded her every action, then picked and chose, deleting unimportant things and archiving important ones.
Of course, if Xia Chujian said she didn't want something to be known, Seven Lù would delete it completely.
It was still very obedient to Xia Chujian's orders, as long as her orders were not related to her own life safety.
Soon, it released the previous suggestion Xia Chujian made to the Captains of the three Starry Sky Cruisers, clearly stating that all Starry Sky Marines should be equipped with Mechas.
Lin Xiaoxiao's D235 Starship and Xu Teng's D337 Starship immediately agreed, but only Chu Qingchen's D499 Starry Sky Cruiser explicitly refused.
In the recording, Chu Qingchen even coldly said to Xia Chujian, "Captain Xia, this is the second time. Please do not interfere with the command of other people's troops."
"You are only the captain of your own Cruiser, not the overall captain of all Cruisers."
"Please have some self-respect!"
Once this conversation was released, the entire Starry Sky Marine Corps exploded.
One by one, they shouted directly at Chu Qingchen and the others.
"Captain Chu! We know we are at the bottom of the Interstellar Fleet, and we also know that our casualties don't even count in the attrition rate!"
"If it's during a war with the enemy and we need to sacrifice ourselves, we accept it!"
"But why should we be sent to our deaths like this?!"
"Is there an enemy we can't defeat?!"
"Is there equipment that can't be provided?!"
"If none of these are true! Why won't you let us equip Mecha!"
Zhuo Hanchen didn't expect that Xia Chujian would ignore him and continue to focus on Chu Qingchen.
He originally wanted to delay, pretending to indicate that they were already considering equipping the Starry Sky Marines with Mecha.
But once Xia Chujian released this recording, who would remember what he had just said?!
The five thousand Starry Sky Marines immediately rushed into the bottom-level armory.
And for ease of transport, those Starry Sky Fighters had already switched to Mecha mode to be brought down.
Because this was a Carp-Class Interstellar Airship, if this equipment was still in Starry Sky Fighter form, each Carp-Class Interstellar Airship could only carry two hundred Starry Sky Fighters.
But converted to Mecha mode, it could carry one thousand Mecha.
Now, the bottom-level hold armory of each Interstellar Airship has one thousand conventional Mecha converted from Starry Sky Fighters.
These Marines each selected a set of Mecha, and without anyone's guidance, they began to explore the operation of the Mecha themselves.
Before long, the smarter ones among these Starry Sky Marines had learned how to activate the Mecha and began basic operation practice without any instruction.
Watching all of this, Ji Nabi remained silent, but had already begun to quietly pack her things.
Lü Luyu hated Xia Chujian the most.
At this time, seeing Xia Chujian not only confronting her most admired Elder Brother Chu, but also inciting the bottom-level soldiers to rebel, she was even more furious.
She directly shouted into the communicator, saying, "Xia Chujian! If you have the ability, come at your grandmother! Inciting these bottom-level soldiers, are you trying to rebel?!"
Xia Chujian completely ignored her.
Giving this kind of crazy person even a glance would be a loss for her.
Hui Zhifeng, who had been silent all this time, then said, "Marines of the First Interstellar Fleet, I now authorize you to use Mecha. If you need practice, you can find me."
"I'll come down immediately to provide you with technical guidance."
Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow.
This was one of the five-person group. Was he defecting, or was it a matter of expediency? Xia Chujian did not comment.
She said, "Second Lieutenant Hui, please wait twelve hours before going down to provide guidance. I have locked your Airship's program for twelve hours. After twelve hours, it will automatically unlock."
Hui Zhifeng warned Xia Chujian through a private communication channel, saying, "Xia Chujian, don't go too far! This is, after all, our Airship, not yours!"
"If you unlock it now, I can guarantee that we will treat it as if nothing happened."
"Absolutely no one will hold you accountable afterward."
"Have you thought about what would happen if we were attacked from the outside during the locked time?!"
Xia Chujian thought, since I've already done it, do I still care about these things?
Do you think I haven't thought about these consequences?
But after thinking about it, I still want to do it, which means I'm prepared to accept the consequences.
Xia Chujian said with a light laugh, "If attacked, the Airship's Mechanical Intelligence will automatically organize a counterattack, so you don't have to worry. It's better at fighting than you are at commanding."
Xia Chujian typed her Smart Bracelet number on the virtual display screen on every level of these five Airships.
"This is my Smart Bracelet number. If you're unlucky, you can send me a message."
"Whether you can send it or not depends on fate. Whether I reply or not depends on my mood."
"Just like I said, it will automatically unlock after twelve hours. I'm leaving, no thanks needed."
Her crisp laughter flashed through the five Airships.
Those who admired her felt their hearts surge.
Those who hated her felt a little nauseous.
As far as Xia Chujian was concerned, her goals were achieved.
Did she really expect those who hated her to praise her after hearing her words? She would have thrown up herself.
Xia Chujian turned and sprinted north.
Seven Lù asked quietly in the fully enclosed helmet, "Master, why do you have to lock it for twelve hours?"
Xia Chujian said, "To give those Starry Sky Marines plenty of practice time."
"Because I don't trust their five-person team."
"They are all Gene Evolvers, and those Marines are just ordinary people. Although they have numbers, without Mecha protection, those five Gene Evolvers can kill them all..."
Ordinary Starry Sky Marines can only fight Gene Evolvers with the advantage of numbers under the protection of Mecha or Starry Sky Fighters.
Otherwise, they are just cannon fodder.
Mao Yonggui and the others had already explained this knowledge to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian only hoped that within these twelve hours, the vast majority of those five thousand Starry Sky Marines could master piloting Mecha.
At that time, even if the five-person team were Gene Evolvers, they would not be able to defeat five thousand Starry Sky Marines armed with Mecha.
...
Half an hour later, Xia Chujian returned to the Captain's Room of her Interstellar Airship without being discovered by anyone.
She breathed a sigh of relief, planning to take another shower.
Suddenly, her movements froze.
"Seven Lù, where's A Wù?"
"Have we seen A Wù since we came back?"
Seven Lù's childish voice sounded uncertainly, "...A Wù, is it on the bedside table in the small suite inside?"
Xia Chujian rushed into the small suite and saw that the Starry Sky Blue coffee cup, fifteen centimeters high, on the bedside table was already empty.
"A Wù! A Wù! Where did A Wù run off to?!" Xia Chujian was a little panicked.
Seven Lù was also scanning and probing in this small room until it said to Xia Chujian, "Master, on the bed..."
Xia Chujian's gaze immediately turned to the small single bed.
There was a thick feather pillow on the bed, and a Down Quilt that was just as soft.
Right at the junction of the feather pillow and the Down Quilt, a fluffy little white head poked out.
And round eyes that shone like black crystals, and a round black nose, formed a cute expression, as if to say, "... Elder Sister, are you looking for me?"
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 00:05 tonight.
