Ze Vantoff space station, because its name means 'frontier', is also called 'frontier' or 'frontier' space station by people in the know. It was once UNS's first line of defense against the KPL and, as such, part of the outermost ring of the Earth's defense system.

The main body of the Ze Vantoff space station is disc-shaped, with a protrusion in the middle used for communication, command, and dispatch, and the upper and lower parts of the protrusion add up to exactly the diameter of the disk. The space station is mainly divided into: the interior is divided into the outer defense area, the inner defense area, and the four main functional areas of the space station in the internal space, as well as the command center, dispatch center and energy core area in the protruding tower.

The station has a total of four passages for ships to enter, all of which lead directly to the living and transportation areas. The layout of the living transport area is very different from the other areas, because it is directly connected to the external passage, so for the sake of safety, 11 small platforms are set up, and each platform is connected by passages, and each platform is closed, only the same closed passages can be passed, and at the connection between the passage and the platform there is a Carmen that can defend against the attack of medium-level beam weapons.

The other three directions are: individual ordnance area, large arsenal platform: multi-fold adjustable gravitational training area. Three major regions. Extending outwards are a variety of defensive facilities, such as the anti-MS assault wall of the internal defense belt, which is equipped with an incredible number of defensive weapons to counter the infiltration and assault operations of combat mobile suits, and the outer defense belt of the space station, which is equipped with dozens of SS300 heavy pulse cannons to counter attacks from enemy warships, and is also equipped with heavy armor that is sufficient to withstand the main gun level weapons of the battleship, as well as various types of miniaturized and lightweight turrets that are obviously added later.

Ze Fanteoff space station once reached 50,000 permanent troops, now due to the development of science and technology, the control of various turrets has been completely completely out of human control, they can turn on the alarm at the same time automatically lock on any metal objects in the periphery of the space station for indiscriminate design, although this technology has not been recognized by the front-line officers and soldiers, but because the Ze Vantoff space station will be transferred away is a huge number, such a huge number of batteries if in the face of a sudden attack, there is not enough manpower can not play its due roleTherefore, the UNS management decided to install this system on the Ze Fanteov space station.

Now on the Ze Vanteoff space station, there are 3,000 permanent troops. It is equipped with 15 heavy mobile suits of the Kanza 105 type, 25 of the melee Gulei 32 type, five mobile suits of the training model Kanza 3 type, and 10 Gulei 1 mobile suits. Although the number of troops has decreased greatly compared with the number of troops in the past, but because of the improvement of technology, the combat capability of this space station has not decreased too much, and the fixed weapons as the main body can still play their due role, that is, the number of mobile suits has decreased significantly, but the mobile suits equipped here are all new mobile suits that have been put into mass production by UNS.

Therefore, Ze Vantoff can be said to have withdrawn a lot of troops, but only its fundamental role has changed from a fortress to a fortress.

Eleven platforms in the living transportation area are altogether: A, B, C, D, E, F, H, S, N, R, U, these platforms are interconnected, C, D, E are transportation platforms, and the transportation platform area is larger and also share a part of the storage function, B, H, F three platforms are the platforms of storage warehouse functions, S, N, R, U are residential areas, and A is the personnel transportation platform.

Platform A is directly connected to one of the main passages of the entire space station, so only when it is very clear that the personnel entering the station are your own personnel, will the first channel be opened for those who request to enter the space station. Platforms C, D, and E are connected to Passage 2, Passage, Passage 3, and Passage 4, respectively, but all three passages must pass through at least two platforms to reach the station, and these passages are only used during times of tension or when cargo ships arrive.

Shuttle bridge.

Dafengtong Guò viewing window looked at the slowly receding steel wall outside the window, reached out and took out a piece of aluminum from the ship's space, and put it in his mouth without the people around him paying attention. Ivan noticed Dafeng's small movements, but the surrounding operators didn't see it, so he didn't say anything, just patted Dafeng's head lightly and whispered: "The bridge is not allowed to eat, you can't do this next time." ”

Dafeng shrunk his neck, sticking out his tongue like a child who had been caught stealing something. Seeing Dafeng's expression, Ivan turned his head and said, "Pay attention to the height, prepare to touch!" After speaking, he reached out and hung up the seat belt on the seat. Dafeng also reached out and grabbed the armrest on Ivan's chair after seeing Ivan's movements, and Li Kunxi also reached out and grabbed the other side of Ivan's chair when he saw this.

Then, in the process of slowly moving forward, the entire shuttle was grabbed by a group of huge robotic arms and fixed to the parking track of Platform A. At the moment when the shuttle stopped, Dafeng suddenly felt a forward inertia, and the powerful inertia guided Dafeng's whole person to float, and Dafeng hurriedly held the armrest on Ivan's seat tightly. At this time, Dafeng heard an exclamation, turned his head to look, and happened to see that Li Kunxi was almost exactly the same as himself, both of them floating forward with their feet.

Seeing the state of the two, Ivan smiled helplessly, pointed to the seat belt on his body and said, "Got it, this thing is still very useful, remember to buckle this thing when you turn on the mecha." After saying that, after feeling the forward inertia acting on his body disappeared, Ivan pressed the unlock button of the seat belt, and the seat belt was instantly pulled back by the torsion spring, Ivan stood up, straightened Dafeng and Li Kunxi, pressed a button on the armrest, and then said: "Okay, we have arrived at the destination, all the staff will leave the shuttle within fifteen minutes, and stand in line on the parking platform according to the predetermined plan." ”

Dafeng said suspiciously, "What about us? What are we going to do?"

Ivan smiled inexplicably and said, "No, it's not you, it's you." Li Kunxi, you go to Li Ping now to report! Your training during this period is the same as the project that the candidates are going to carry out. Li Kunxi was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, when he saw the expression of "this is an order" on Ivan's face, he immediately stood up straight and saluted and said, "Yes, I'll go now." ”

Seeing Li Kunxi's raised arm, Ivan didn't wait for Li Kunxi to make other movements, came to Li Kunxi's face, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Kunxi's arm down, the upper part of the entire arm directly became a drooping state, and adjusted the posture of Li Kunxi's arm slightly, and then said with satisfaction: " This is our way of saluting, remember, we are soldiers, not performers, we don't need the kind of military salute of the honor guard, whether it is a battleship or a mobile suit, space is extremely precious, there is no room for you to do the honor guard etiquette. Got it?"

Li Kunxi nodded and said, "Yes! ”

Ivan nodded and said, "If you understand, go ahead." ”

After seeing Li Kunxi leave the bridge, Ivan turned his head to look at Dafeng, smiled and said, "I have prepared a big training plan for you, are you ready?"

Dafeng didn't react like Li Kunxi, but his eyes burned with a flame called battle intent and said, "Then let's go, the goal set also requires action to accomplish, isn't it?"

Ivan nodded, then reached out and pulled the handrail and floated outward, after seeing Ivan's actions, Dafeng also followed with a slight kick on the ground, and floated out at a speed that was not much faster than Ivan.

The moment he left the shuttle, Dafeng was shocked by the scenery in front of him, is the scenery in front of him really the environment in a space station?! Through the transparent cover like a light curtain, Dafeng saw the lush greenery inside the space station, like a dense forest, and from time to time he could see one or two small birds flying through the dense trees. Dafeng subconsciously walked to the edge of the platform in front of him and walked over, looking at a high tower that "penetrates the sky and the earth" seen in one direction of the platform, of course, this is a space station, it may not be correct to call it a tower, but it is indeed the appearance of a tower.

I saw that in the center of the tower there was a pillar of light that kept emitting white light. Dafeng narrowed his eyes, the slightly soft light made Dafeng unable to see what it was, then Ivan came to Dafeng's side and patted Dafeng's shoulder, and said: "Don't stare at the artificial sun for a long time, although I don't know if it's the same for you, but I still remind you that it may hurt your eyes." ”

Dafeng nodded slightly, he just looked at it for a while and felt that his eyes were a little sour, it was indeed harmful to his eyes. Then Dafeng rubbed his eyes and said, "What is that, isn't this space station said to be a military facility? Why do you want to make it look like a forest?" ”

Ivan asked suspiciously, "Why, don't you like this? Actually, there is no way, human beings, they always have to breathe oxygen." Without the photosynthesis of plants to produce oxygen, it would be too expensive to transport oxygen to ensure the oxygen concentration inside the space station. ”

Dafeng nodded clearly It turned out to be for this, Dafeng had also learned about the problem of breathing from Li Kunxi before, but he didn't think about the necessary factors for human beings to survive in space, Dafeng, and his first reaction when he saw this lush area before was to not do his job properly and go gardening as a soldier. Now after listening to Ivan's explanation, Dafeng realized that if he wants to be a part of the space station, learning gardening is also a compulsory course.

In fact, Dafeng doesn't know that this is not gardening, but learning vegetation cultivation, and there is really a warrior on this space station who understands how to plant trees.

Dafeng pointed to the pillar of light that had been emitting white light and asked, "Then what is this thing?" ”

Ivan followed Dafeng's fingers, then quickly turned his head and said, "That's the artificial sun, it's the energy source of the entire space station, do you want to go and see it? ”

Dafeng shook his head slightly, he just knew what it was for, why did he go to see it? Dafeng didn't understand it very much, but Dafeng didn't say it.

Ivan saw Dafeng shaking his head, obviously losing interest in the artificial sun and the forest used to supply oxygen, and said a little boringly: "Then since you don't want to understand, then come with me, and I'll take you to meet someone in a while." After saying that, he floated towards a hovering car, and Dafeng nodded and followed.

Ivan came to the hovercar, opened the co-pilot's door and said, "Dafeng, you go in first and wait for a while, I'll make a military training speech first." Dafeng nodded, a picture of me being a good boy. Ivan nodded, turned and walked to the shuttle that was parked on the parking track.

As soon as Ivan left, Dafeng took out the crossbow from the ship's space, hit an arrow engraved with the word "colorful clouds" on it, and pulled the trigger outside the car window, and in an instant the arrow was bounced out by the powerful crossbow string, turning into a small green propeller plane in mid-air.

Driven by Dafeng's soul network, the Caiyun-type reconnaissance plane flew to the other side of the shuttle with a blue light mask above the platform, and saw a crowd of people under black pressure, and soon Dafeng found Li Kunxi, Wang Ruifeng and others standing in the crowd through the amazing observation ability of Caiyun.

After a few moments, Ivan finally came to the candidates, stood on a bulge on the shuttle, looked down at the candidates and said, "You guys, you want to enter the AUT? want to become an officer?"

The candidates below said in unison, "Yes!" The voice was unusually loud, but very uneven.

Ivan smiled: "I don't think you can do it, you don't even have the basic quality of a soldier now, so you want to become an officer?"

At this time, I don't know who shouted in the crowd: "Even if we can't do it now, after hard work and training, we will be able to become soldiers one day!"

The corners of Ivan's mouth turned up, clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, I like to hear this, who said it? ”

As soon as Ivan's words fell, a yellow candidate with a slight length floated forward. Seeing the young Ivan, he smiled and said, "Who are you, what's your name?"

The examinee immediately straightened up, saluted a very beautiful military salute and said, "Report sir, I'm a Mobile Suit pilot examinee, Yu Bo!"

But seeing Yu Boyi's demeanor, Ivan frowned, and saw that it was a standard salute that was obviously not the way of saluting the combat troops. He smiled disdainfully and said, "I think you should go to the honor guard, such a standard salute, you have practiced for a long time." ”

Seeing Yu Boyi's somewhat confident expression, Ivan continued: "But these are useless, the standard salute can't make your enemy surrender, let alone make your enemy defeat, and even on some ships or mobile suits with relatively small cockpits, this salute of yours can't be used at all!"

Yu Boyi was nervous for a while, Ivan saw Yu Boyi's expression fluctuate, and then said with a disdainful face: "Although your salute is wrong, it's not a problem, I'll teach you." You can also see clearly, from today onwards you must salute like a soldier! I don't want to see the kind of military salute you had before, do you hear that?"

Ivan put his hand down and said: "Salute is just a form, and the talents that we AUT will cultivate are all the elite of the army, not rice worms who live together!

The candidates below said in unison, "It's done!"

Ivan tilted his head sideways, put his hand to his ear, and said in confusion: "Did anyone speak just now? Why do I want to hear a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing?" answer me!"

Again, the candidates said in a louder voice, "It's done!!"

Ivan nodded, glanced at the luggage carried by each candidate by the way, and then pointed to Li Ping on the ground and pointed to Li Kunxi with the big bag he took out of the shuttle when he just came out, and then said: "Mmmm, it's done, that's good, now all of them are there!, head towards the gravitational training area, run 10,000 meters per person, let me see your efforts!"

At this time, Li Ping came to Li Kunxi, who did not carry any luggage, and handed the big bag to Li Kunxi, Li Kunxi carried the big bag with a bitter face, because it was weightless, so he couldn't feel the gravity in it, but Li Kunxi knew very well that when he arrived at the gravitational training area, he would feel very clearly the 'gift' that Ivan had prepared for himself.

Seeing that under the supervision of various examiners, the candidates were marching towards the gravitational training ground with their luggage on their backs one by one, the corners of Ivan's mouth turned up slightly and smiled evilly, at this time, Li Ping, who had settled his team, came to Ivan. He said: "Is it really okay to do this kind of training as soon as you come? I know you've made the same mistake again, but you can't ・・・・・・ after all, it's not all candidates who apply for the Mobile Suit program." ”

Ivan smiled and said, "No, no, don't you often complain that the gang on the ship always drags us back?

Li Ping shook his head, it is true that in the previous war, the personnel on the ship often did some things that Li Ping felt unacceptable, so that Li Ping often complained that the personnel on the ship dragged him back, after all, Li Ping was the trump card, and few people dared to say anything, but they still strictly guided the decline in the combat effectiveness of the fleet. Now Ivan suddenly mentioned this matter, which made Li Ping confused for a while.

Seeing Li Ping's puzzled expression, Ivan patted Li Ping's shoulder and said with a smile: "Look, the eldest sister only knows that there is a problem, but she doesn't know what the problem is." The problem is that we have indeed undergone rigorous training, but the people on the ship have not undergone such training, and the previous education only thinks that they are the training of the personnel on the ship, so as to focus on the fleet command and operation, but this is useless, how can Su zhì without iron and blood bear the heavy responsibility of the life and death of the entire warship?"

Hearing Ivan say this, Li Ping nodded in agreement. But there was still some hesitation, Ivan turned around with a smile and said: "Don't worry, as far as I know, this is how the KPL army is trained, and I have also discussed it with that bad old man, and he also agrees with my training plan, so you can put your heart in your stomach." ”・・・・・・
