Ze Vantoff space station is located on the outer edge of the geosynchronous earth orbit in a relatively stationary position with the earth, and happens to be in a straight line with the more distant constellation of satellites orbiting the geosynchronous earth, and it is also the forefront of UNS and KPL contact, once hostile to the KPL, UNS in order to ensure the safety of the front line and KPL and UNS interstellar route hub to establish such a space station, the space station is equipped with various levels of military facilities, and as the relationship between KPL and UNS gradually enters the spring, the original role of this space station has become used to welcome diplomats from the KPL, so it is really unreasonable to continue to equip such a level of armament forces.

Therefore, UNS and this year, ordered the evacuation of 80% of the troops from the Ze Vantoff space station, and transferred these troops to an increasingly unstable orbit close to the moon, and according to astronomers' calculations, in another year, the position of Mars will reach a very close distance from the position of the Earth, so the UNS top management believes that it is necessary to deploy defensive troops in the direction of Mars, and this force can only be drawn from the original defense of the KPL.

After all, the troops on the border between the UNS and the KPL have now become alert, and the top management of the UNS believes that there is no need to keep so many alert troops, which will cause resentment on the KPL side and is not conducive to the normalization of relations between the two countries.

After more than a day of sailing, the shuttle carrying the AUT-yearning candidates finally reached the approach orbit of the Ze Vantoff space station.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Ping allowed the candidates who applied for the mecha pilot exam to move freely, and Li Kunxi and Dafeng soon met Wang Ruifeng, Lucy and Liu Yang, who were looking for them everywhere. And with Ivan's permission, he went to the observation room on the lower level of the bridge, after all, it is always more direct to look through the viewing window than to look through the screen.

Facing Wang Ruifeng, Luxi, and Liu Yang's shocked expressions, Dafeng and Li Kunxi looked at each other and smiled, the two of them were not like this before, but even if it was not the first time to see it, the kind of shock brought by nature was still difficult to calm down.

Dafeng came to the window and gently leaned against the wall by the viewing window, his hands gently wiped the arrows that had been taken out of the ship's space before, Liu Yang noticed Dafeng's movements, and blinked suspiciously and looked at Li Kunxi, Li Kunxi felt Liu Yang's expression, and then followed Liu Yang's gaze, and saw Dafeng holding a steel arrow in his hand and constantly wiping it, while looking at the scenery outside the window. immediately understood Liu Yang's doubts, and then came to Liu Yang's ear and said, "That big brother Ivan, you should have seen it yesterday." ”

Liu Yang nodded, he had indeed seen that sturdy officer, and in the same way, he finally understood what level Dafeng's strength was, and why did AUT directly skip the level and admit him, after all, that kind of power is really something that humans can control? Liu Yang couldn't help but think like this.

Li Kunxi saw Liu Yang nodding and whispered, "Little child, it's so active, Brother Ivan found a toy for Dafeng to play with." ”

Liu Yang suddenly looked at Li Kunxi with wide eyes, in his eyes, the thing in Dafeng's hand was not as simple as a toy, Dafeng could use this thing to kill anyone on the shuttle easily.

Li Kunxi spread his hands helplessly and said, "Dafeng has a very gentle personality, and he won't do the kind of thing you think." Hearing Li Kunxi say this, Liu Yang couldn't help but think of Dafeng's appearance like a cute girl next door when they met for the first time, and immediately nodded approvingly.

Dafeng enjoyed the feeling of losing gravity very much, looked at the arrow in his hand, and muttered, "What will happen next, I am really looking forward to it more and more." Will there be any surprises for me?"

At this time, Ivan's voice sounded from the loudspeaker at the top of the viewing hall: "Okay, rookies, your activity time is coming to an end soon, I hope you are ready now, of course it is useless if you are not ready, we will officially enter the Ze Vantoff space station in two hours, please find your examiner to gather now, otherwise you will be directly judged to have given up the exam at that time." Now you have to use the standard of a soldier to restrain yourself, understand? Understand and start acting now!"

Hearing such a voice, Liu Yang said, "Then let's go first, and we'll see you again when we have a chance." Li Kunxi nodded, and waved his hand at Wang Ruifeng and Lucy at the same time. Dafeng also raised his head and waved his hand.

After seeing the three of them leave along the hall door, Li Kunxi said: "Let's act too, go find Brother Ivan, I always feel weird to stay like this." ”

Dafeng looked at Li Kunxi suspiciously, and then said, "Okay, I also want to see what the ・・・・・・ spaceship in this state looks like when it enters the military port." ”

After the two of them got a common answer, Dafeng first gently kicked the ground and floated towards the center of the viewing hall. The bridge is on the upper floor of the viewing hall, and if you want to reach the bridge, you must pass through the viewing hall, because the space of the bridge is not small, and if you want to set up the viewing hall, you can only be in the opposite position of the bridge, at this time, in order to save space, and because the shuttle reduces the atmospheric resistance when breaking through the atmosphere, the aerodynamic design is adopted, and the nose of the shuttle presents a cone design, which also leads to the fact that the position of the nose is not suitable for the design of the living cabin, so an observation hall is arranged here.

Dafeng pushed open the hatch, and happened to see Ivan's posture of opening the door, and froze there. Ivan said solemnly: "I was about to call you two, come to the bridge, although this precautions for entering the spaceport will be covered in a later lesson, but it is better to listen to it a thousand times than to see it once." ”

Seeing Dafeng's puzzled expression, Ivan paused and said, "Dafeng, is there anything you are suspicious about?"

Dafeng looked at Li Kunxi and said, "Will we drive the kind of combat machinery in the game in the future?" ”

Li Kunxi tilted his head and said, "Of course it's a mobile suit." ”

Dafeng turned his head to look at Ivan and said, "Na, Brother Ivan, we don't need to know about this matter. ”

Seeing Dafeng say such a sentence with a serious expression on his face, if someone else said this sentence Ivan would definitely slap him to death, but it was Dafeng on the other side, and he also knew that not only Dafeng, but even Li Kunxi was completely unclear about the main points and many problems of space operations. In desperation, Ivan could only explain with a full face: "That's the case, it's absolutely impossible for us to fight only on Earth in a mobile suit, right?"

Dafeng nodded, according to what he knew about the current situation in the world, once there was a war, then the battlefield would inevitably appear in space as soon as possible. Therefore, after becoming a soldier, the possibility of serving in space is far greater than the possibility of being on the ground. After seeing Dafeng nodding, Ivan turned his head to look at Li Kunxi, who was stunned for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Ivan smiled and said, "You come with me first, and we'll talk as we go." After saying that, the arm that pulled the handrail in the passage was forced, and the whole person floated upward. Dafeng and Li Kunxi also followed.

Seeing Dafeng and Li Kunxi follow, Ivan said: "Since it is a space operation, then you will inevitably leave the battleship to fight in a mobile suit, right?" Dafeng nodded clearly, Dafeng knows the relationship between mobile suits and warships very well, this is like the relationship between aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, how can there be carrier-based aircraft fighting on aircraft carriers?

Ivan smiled and said, "Dafeng really wants to understand it." Dafeng nodded seriously and said: "Yes, I am the mother of the aircraft carrier, I understand the matter of aircraft carrier operations very well, think about the relationship between the battleship and the mobile suit is similar to the relationship between the aircraft carrier and the carrier-based aircraft, right." ”

Ivan thought for a moment: "Aircraft carrier." Think about it. Ivan suddenly thought of what was mentioned in the history books, aircraft carrier: as an ancient human surface ship, it will carry a large number of carrier-based aircraft, used for aviation operations, the effect is equivalent to a moving airport, is called the most deterrent surface ship of mankind in the information age. Ivan thought to himself: "Carrying a large number of carrier-based aircraft for aviation operations is really similar to the truth of battleships and mobile suits." ”

Thinking of this, Ivan nodded and said, "That's right, that's the truth." Since you are leaving the battleship, you must return to the battleship, and of course, if you go out and die, that's another matter. Dafeng nodded again. Li Kunxi also nodded and said, "Ah, yes, that's right." ”

Ivan glanced at Li Kunxi and continued: "Actually, the principle of driving a mobile suit in space is similar to that of driving a shuttle, but the volume and mass are larger, and the matters that need to be paid attention to are basically the same. You must know that warships move all the time, and the same is true for the space station, and the operation method of driving a shuttle into the space station is actually exactly the same as the operation method of driving a mobile suit to return to the battleship. It is the operation of the shuttle that requires more precision. ”

Dafeng immediately understood, nodded and said, "Brother Ivan wants us to understand the operation process of the shuttle into the space station first, so that it will be very easy for us to master the operation process of driving a mobile suit, right?"

Ivan nodded and smiled, "That's it." Do you understand?

Li Kunxi, who was thinking, was interrupted by Ivan's words, and then turned his head to look at Ivan: "This is really important, ah, be careful!" Hearing Li Kunxi's words, Ivan looked at Li Kunxi suspiciously, and first heard "knock" , and then I felt a pain in my head, although it was weightless, but under the impetus of Ivan's power, Ivan's forward speed was not slow, which directly led Ivan to keep looking down at Dafeng and Li Kunxi who were following him, and did not see that he had reached the end of the upward passage, and hit his head against the wall.

Obviously, this place has been ergonomically designed, and there are no handles or anything like that at this turn, but it still hurts to hit him like this suddenly, and Ivan's face changed as he covered his head, and a large bag visibly bulged from his head.

Ivan rubbed his head, looked at Dafeng speechlessly, and complained: "Li Kunxi is stunned, I didn't see it, why don't you say it." ”

Dafeng spread his hands innocently and said, "Dafeng has really been thinking about his eldest brother's words very seriously and hasn't noticed it." ”

Ivan saw Dafeng's innocent expression, and instantly felt that he was adored by Dafeng. But as an upright big brother, Ivan felt that even if Dafeng was cute, he shouldn't show any strange reactions, only young lads would be funny about this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Ivan rubbed his head and said, "Okay, we're about to get to the area of the Ze Vantoff space station, let's hurry up, the others on the bridge are still waiting for me to command." After speaking, he pulled the handrail not far in front of him and floated towards the sensor door in front of him. Seeing that Ivan acted first, Dafeng and Li Kunxi also followed.

About three minutes later, in the bridge, Dafeng and Li Kunxi each found a seat and sat down, and a huge artificial creature in the shape of a disc in front of the shuttle was quietly moving with the orbit of the earth, and the shuttle also adjusted the output kinetic force to keep the two relatively stationary.

At this time, a window suddenly appeared on the screen in front of the command position where Ivan was sitting, and a yellow man with thick eyebrows and a murderous aura appeared in the window, Ivan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Long time no see, Xiao Yiyi." ”

The officer who was called "Xiao Yiyi" by Ivan suddenly turned dark, and said angrily: "Oh, it turned out to be a strange Shu Xiao." Why is it strange that Shu Huang hasn't kidnapped Lori recently?"

Ivan's facial expression also became very ornamental at this time, obviously smiling very gently, but it gave people a chilling feeling, Ivan said: "Captain Zhao, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Captain Zhao's face suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly said, "Ah, it turned out to be Executive Officer Ivan, is it a student from AUT?"

Ivan said with an expression that let you go this time: "Yes, yes, I brought you a little fresh meat from AUT and handed it over to you to train well." Remember, train well, there's a problem, you know. Ivan deliberately accentuated the four words "train well", and the expression of the evil smile at the end gave Dafeng a feeling that Big Brother Ivan was originally this kind of person.

Ivan obviously felt the strange gaze from Dafeng, and quickly adjusted back to his normal state and said, "Since you know the identity of our ship, then please close the defense system and open the passage." ”

Zhao Yi also clearly felt the change in Ivan's speaking attitude, looked at the screen in puzzlement, and then ordered: "Turn off the defense system and anti-impact scanning, open the main passage of Port No. 1, and let the civilian shuttle temporarily numbered 5319 enter the space station." ”

After a few moments, the flickering pillar of light on the surface of the silver saucer suddenly disappeared, and a hole appeared in a raised plane at the edge of the disk, and six yellow pillars of light shot out from the inside of the hole.

At this time, the voice of the conductor from Ivan was heard: "The lower power room is open to fifteen percent of the output power, the output of the main thruster is increased by ten percent, the lifting altitude coordinates are 4456, and the forward coordinates are 3368." After reaching the coordinates, the upper spout is opened, and the spray volume is maintained at 5% for 30 seconds. As soon as Ivan's order was given, Dafeng saw the two operators sitting in front of him slowly push the control valve in front of him forward.

Almost at the same time, Dafeng felt the gravity from the backwards, Dafeng judged that this should be the acceleration generated when the shuttle accelerated, although there have been several orbital changes and dozens of speed changes in the voyage for more than a day, but Dafeng still has not fully adapted to this acceleration, but Dafeng can be sure that if it is in battle, Dafeng himself will never be affected by this acceleration.

After about ten minutes or so, the shuttle managed to reach the center of the six yellow beams of light emitted by the Yuze Vantoff space station, at which point Ivan gave another command: "Main thruster, fifty percent power, on, advance coordinates 85681." Once the coordinates are reached, turn off the main thruster and turn on the deceleration nozzle. Now start turning on the steady dìng device. ”

I saw that several vents were opened on the left and right sides of the shuttle, spraying flames outward, and at the same time, the light at the tail of the shuttle suddenly lit up, and the entire shuttle began to slowly accelerate forward. Before coming to the entrance of the space station, the speed of the entire shuttle was already very fast, at this time, the main propulsion device of the shuttle suddenly turned off, followed by several small vents in the front of the shuttle continuously spraying light, and slowly reducing the relative speed between the shuttle and the space station.

Looking at the shuttle on the holographic screen slowly trying to move forward accurately in the first passage of the space station, Li Kunxi said: "There is no air in the universe, and the navigation of the same ship is completely free of any medium, and there is no friction without the medium, and without friction, you can't rely on the normal deceleration method on the earth to slow down and stabilize the shuttle, so this qiē needs to be adjusted with a small nozzle, which is really complicated." ”

Ivan heard Li Kunxi's words, walked over and patted Li Kunxi's shoulder: "Young man, it's okay, just look at the side and say it quite clearly." But there are a few points to note: first, the amount of propulsion is the difficulty of this positive, how much main propulsion you use, you have to use the corresponding small vent to slow down, if your deceleration ability is too weak, it will lead the deceleration distance to be too long, so as to directly hit the space station or other things inside the ship; second, the relative speed, you have to take into account, because if you are in battle, your enemy will lightly let you board your own warship? Both you and your ship can be attacked, and you can't avoid it if you're attacked, but that's something you can figure out for yourself in battle. ”

Dafeng heard Ivan's words and silently remembered them in his heart.
