Seven Lù understood and didn't answer immediately.
A minute later, it said, "Master is so smart! Seven Lù just copied an independent operating program for the Starry Sky Fighter. What does Master want to do?"
Xia Chujian was overjoyed and quickly said, "Now I want all the Marine Corps' Mecha to be converted into Starry Sky Fighters. But they don't have time to train their piloting skills."
"So I need you to copy this program into their Warplanes, which is equivalent to upgrading the Mechanical Intelligence of those Starry Sky Fighters, to achieve complete autopilot!"
"Then those Starry Sky Marines only need to operate the weapon systems in the Warplanes and directly engage in aerial combat with those Floating Turrets. Do you think it's feasible?!"
Seeing the Floating Turrets in front getting closer and closer, and a continuous stream of rockets, Missiles, and Electromagnetic Railguns shooting in their direction.
Seven Lù had already maneuvered the five Interstellar Airships to dodge several times.
Xia Chujian asked urgently, "Is it feasible or not?"
Seven Lù didn't speak for a moment, directly manipulating the Mechanical Intelligence of the five Interstellar Airships to achieve another increase in speed.
This time their speed was so fast, it was really close to First Cosmic Velocity.
But the people in the five Airships had no complaints.
They knew something was wrong outside, so they didn't say a word.
It wasn't until Seven Lù brought the five Interstellar Airships to a relatively safe place that it had time to answer Xia Chujian.
"Master, this is no problem."
"Seven Lù can immediately copy the autopilot program of the Starry Sky Fighter over."
"But in that case, how will Master explain the automatic upgrade of the Starry Sky Fighter's piloting program?"
Xia Chujian frowned and said, "We'll talk about it later, survival is the priority now."
Seven Lù felt that anything related to survival made sense.
It immediately said, "Okay, Master, please wait a moment."
As it spoke, Seven Lù used the communication system on the five Airships, using an electronic synthesized sound system to simulate Xia Chujian's voice, and asked everyone to open the Mecha communication system.
Then Seven Lù took control of the Mechanical Intelligence of those Mecha through the communication system, which was also the Mechanical Intelligence of the Starry Sky Fighters, and quickly completed the copying and upgrading of the autopilot system.
Three minutes passed, and Seven Lù said, "Master, the Mecha Mechanical Intelligence systems of everyone have been upgraded."
"As long as they switch back to the Starry Sky Fighter, they can achieve complete autopilot."
"But the weapon systems are still operated by the pilots, because the intelligent system for weapons requires too high a chip, and the chips of these Warplanes are not the most advanced, and the energy is also insufficient."
Xia Chujian said, "The weapon systems of the Warplanes don't need Mechanical Intelligence to operate, this is the advantage of those Marine Corps."
Just like playing Star Network combat games, Xia Chujian didn't believe these Starry Sky Marines hadn't played them before.
Once ready, Xia Chujian asked Seven Lù to exit the communication system of the five Airships, and she took over.
Her voice rang out again on every floor of the five Airships, and at the same time, huge virtual display screens were hanging down from the public areas of each floor.
What was playing on them was the situation outside just now.
"Everyone, listen up! Pay attention!"
"Just now we were attacked by the latest weapons of the Shang People and Haidagong!"
"Yes, you heard right!"
"The Shang People and Haidagong really have newer weapons!"
"What's chasing us are Floating Turrets. Produced by the Southern Cross Star Kingdom, equipped with rockets, Missiles, large Electromagnetic Railguns, and energy shields!"
"They were the ones who fired at us just now, almost hitting our Airships!"
"If this intensity of energy cannons is focused together, it can even destroy our Interstellar Airships!"
"Our Mecha are no longer suitable for such battles!"
"At the same time, the enemy has activated the Global Laser Defense System, blocking the atmosphere!"
"If we don't destroy their laser defense system, we can't get out!"
Xia Chujian's words, along with the scene shown in the video outside, left the more than fifteen thousand five hundred Marine Corps, pilots, and Captains on the five Airships in silence.
This shows that they seem to want to retreat, but they can't!
After a while, someone suddenly roared in the silence: "Then we won't retreat! Let's fuck them up!"
"Yeah! Let's fuck them up!"
"So what if we die! It's worth it to take all these bastards with us before we die!"
Xia Chujian raised her voice and said, "I support everyone's idea, but the key is, how do we fight!"
"Mecha can't deal with these Floating Turrets now, but Starry Sky Fighters can!"
"Our Mecha are all switched from Starry Sky Fighters, and they can also switch back to Starry Sky Fighters!"
After she said this, the Marine Corps in each Airship slumped again, clamoring: "But we don't know how to pilot Warplanes!"
"Mecha are easy to learn, but Warplanes are not so easy to learn!"
"Even if we want to learn, where can we find twelve hours for us to train?!"
"Don't mention twelve hours, do we even have one hour?!"
Xia Chujian didn't know when the Shang People and Haidagong's Floating Turrets would catch up, but she didn't need these people to learn how to pilot Starry Sky Fighters.
They just needed to know how to operate the weapons in the Starry Sky Fighters and strike those Floating Turrets.
Xia Chujian raised her voice again and said, "Everyone, don't worry."
"I have already copied the autopilot program of the Starry Sky Fighter into everyone's Mecha program."
"After switching to Starry Sky Fighter, the Mechanical Intelligence will completely take over the piloting of the Starry Sky Fighter, you don't need to worry about how to pilot it."
"What you need to do is, within half an hour, learn how to operate the weapon system in the Starry Sky Fighter."
"Also, simple voice control of the Starry Sky Fighter."
"Just remember two commands: 'Depart', 'Return to Cabin'."
"'Depart' will activate the autopilot function of the Starry Sky Fighter."
"'Return to Cabin' will make the Starry Sky Fighter return to the Airship."
"Do you have confidence?!"
Among the fifteen thousand five hundred people, the five thousand people from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet and the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, which Xia Chujian had been leading, unconditionally believed her words.
Sun Jiahao and Li Dali immediately said, "Yes!"
"Captain, quickly open the hatch and let us go out and try!"
Xia Chujian didn't waste any time and said, "I will now open the hatch, Fourth Interstellar Fleet and Fifth Interstellar Fleet Marine Corps, step forward!"
Sun Jiahao and Li Dali first led five hundred people from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet and flew out of the hatch.
Then four thousand five hundred people from the Fifth Interstellar Fleet flew out of the hatch.
They were all in Mecha state.
When they flew to the open space outside, they said the first command: "Depart!" Then the Mecha on their bodies switched back to the Starry Sky Fighter state.
And each of them became a pilot sitting in the pilot's seat.
Xia Chujian's voice came from the helmet earphones of each person.
"Everyone, don't panic, now look at the main control panel in front of you."
"The Starry Sky Fighter will identify safe flight paths and take everyone to fly."
"You just need to familiarize yourselves with how to use the various weapons on the Warplane."
The weapons that the Starry Sky Fighter can carry are much more than in the Mecha state.
In addition to fully automatic heavy machine guns, Micro Missiles, and Grenade Launchers, there are also Electromagnetic Railguns and energy shields.
Of course, without the size of the opponent's Floating Turrets, the power of the weapons carried is not as great as the Floating Turrets.
But the ammunition supply is very sufficient.
After these five thousand Starry Sky Marines flew in the open space outside for a while, they quickly got the hang of it.
They were shouting in the public channel temporarily set up by these five airships.
"Comrades of the Second and Third Interstellar Fleets, Lieutenant Xia is not bragging!"
"The Mechanical Intelligence of these Starry Sky Fighters can really drive automatically!"
"We just need to be familiar with the weapon systems!"
"It's just like playing a Star Network battle game! There's no difference!"
With the personal testimonials of these five thousand Starry Sky Marines, the remaining ten thousand five hundred people also flew out of the Interstellar Airships one after another.
And Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Sang Yadi, Chen Yansheng, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Xu Teng, as well as the other eight pilots, who were in the same group of trainees as Lin Xiaoxiao and Xu Teng, also went into battle one after another.
They were originally Starry Sky Fighter pilots, and with the automatic driving program, they would only be more powerful.
Because Xia Chujian had copied the automatic driving function to all the Warplanes, these pilots, who were already elites, unanimously chose the highest-end Ghost-Class Starry Sky Fighter.
The speed of this Warplane is qualitatively improved compared to the previous two grades.
Moreover, the Ghost-class Fighter has more abundant energy, and the charging time for those Electromagnetic Railguns is also greatly shortened.
Xia Chujian stayed alone in the Interstellar Airship, watching the fifteen thousand five hundred Starry Sky Fighters flying freely in the airspace ahead, without any aviation accidents, and knew that Seven Lù's automatic driving program was indeed good.
But it couldn't be called a complete success.
Xia Chujian said, "Seven Lù, when the battle starts later, the enemy's air power will continue to launch shells. Are you sure these Starry Sky Fighters can dodge them?"
Seven Lù said, "As long as the energy is sufficient, it is still possible to deal with the weapons launched by the Floating Turrets."
"But if the other side fights a war of attrition, we can't defeat them all at once."
"Because the defense of the Floating Turrets is very solid, destroying one would probably require a lot of ammunition."
Xia Chujian knew that what Seven Lù meant was that if they were to fight head-on, it would depend on how many Floating Turrets the enemy had.
Just now, the vanguard of the densely packed Floating Turret group had thousands of units, and it was not known how many more would follow.
Although they had many Starry Sky Fighters here, it might take two or three, or even six or seven, to deal with one Floating Turret together...
Xia Chujian gritted her teeth and said, "Don't their Floating Turrets need energy?"
Seven Lù was silent for a while, and said, "According to Seven Lù's database records, the Southern Cross Star Kingdom does not seem to have broken through small-scale Controllable Nuclear Fusion technology yet."
"In other words, their Controllable Nuclear Fusion generators are still very large."
"The weapons, equipment, and flying equipment they use with Controllable Nuclear Fusion as power will also be larger."
"These Floating Turrets are not small in size, and there is a high probability that they are equipped with large Controllable Nuclear Fusion energy systems."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She knew how powerful this thing was.
If the other side was really using large Controllable Nuclear Fusion generators as energy, then it would really be impossible to fight a war of attrition with them.
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said, "Seven Lù, my Mecha can convert external nuclear radiation into energy, can those Warplanes..."
Seven Lù's childish voice had obvious regret: "Master, no. Because the materials of the Starry Sky Fighters are not as high-end as the Shao Siming Mecha."
