Chapter 2: Tianjing's Right Eye
The three-week voyage passed quickly, and the 13 pilots were all familiar with each other, but there was a faint undercurrent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Actually, to put it bluntly, it's still jealous around Shirley's rivalry.
Although Shirley has made it clear that she will not be in a relationship during her service, that can't stop other male drivers from wanting to be close to her. Taking a step back, even if you can't confirm the relationship with her at this time, it doesn't mean that you won't have a chance in the future, in short, it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship first, and it doesn't hurt to be intimate with her.
On the other hand, according to military practice, pilots in the same phase usually form a number of five-man squads according to their own style. In other words, if Shirley becomes a pilot, she will have four other teammates from the same period who will spend the years to come. Although Shirley doesn't have the final say on how to form a team, it doesn't prevent others from wanting to get close to her.
Of all the male drivers, only Fengyu is an exception. Maybe it's because he's late blooming, and he still doesn't have much interest in women at this time, and he only contacts Shirley out of appreciation, unlike others who are somewhat purposeful.
The sensitivity of women made Shirley feel that he was different, but because she was less stressful to get along with him, she became closer to Fengyu.
This has brought a lot of trouble to Fengyu, and a group of male drivers regard him as rivals in love, although they will not do anything out of the ordinary on the surface, but they all secretly have plans, nothing more than to defeat Fengyu in the next training and make themselves appear better than him or something.
Anyway, the method that men use to attract girls' attention is just a few fixed routines, either to show their attention, or to be willing to spend money, or to show their talents and abilities. Everyone is an iron ball driver, which means that they can't have a good family background/scene, and everyone is dedicated, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior by these two points, so in the end, the most convincing thing must be to show ability. There is such an opportunity in front of everyone in front of you, to become a pilot, and to become an excellent pilot who overwhelms others.
Overall, there is some entanglement and competition among these drivers, but they are all benign. As comrades-in-arms in the Battle of Taiya WH, they share the same honor and shame, and override the love between men and women. As the elite of iron ball pilots, they have their own pride, and will never tarnish their honor as soldiers.
So when the high-speed ship arrived at the Tianjing Star Domain, it was a new stage in front of them, not only to win Shirley's favor, but also to realize their own value and future.
The Space Force's advanced training base is not on the capital star, but on the L5 Lagrange point between Tianjing and the star Tianyang. After the high-speed ship stopped at the training base for a short time, it continued to fly to Tianjing Star and went to the military headquarters to report on the battle situation of Taiya.
The training base itself is a space city belonging to the military, to be precise, a fortress-type space city, and another space fortress located in Tianjing-Tianyang L4 forms the gate of Tianjing, defending the last habitable planet of the New Asian Republic. Both space fortresses were built after the fall of Jikyo, SC0078.
At that time, the UAC, which was still called the New American Federation, had already reached the side of the new Asia, the TD1 star field, which was only 3.7 light-years away from the Tianjing star field. At that time, due to the stubborn resistance of New Asia and the war in the New African Galaxy at the last moment, New America was eager to compete for the Cape of Good Hope, a habitable planet in New Africa, so it shifted its focus. In SC0084, the UAC Federation was at odds with the new European Union due to the Cape of Good Hope, and had to further reduce its forces in the New Asian system.
Since then, New Asia has begun to counterattack, and at the same time, it has also begun to build these two space fortresses in times of peace to ensure the safety of the capital star.
After five years of construction, the forts have been used as the headquarters and training base of the new Asian Space Force, respectively, after five years of construction. In the past eight years, thousands of pilots have come out of here to join the various theaters under the jurisdiction of the Space Force, and have made great contributions to the defense of the new Asian galaxy and the counterattack on Dijing.
The fortress where the training base is located has a name, called "Tianjing Right Eye", and the corresponding fortress located in L4 is naturally called "Tianjing Left Eye", and is called "Tianjing Double Eye".
The "Eyes" is each equipped with a zero-angle electromagnetic railgun, and the 2000mm armor-piercing projectile fired is a kinetic weapon, ignoring the R-particle shield, and can cause powerful fragment damage inside the battleship. Whether it's hitting a battleship's power furnace, bridge, main gun, or engine, it's basically a one-hit kill. I'm afraid that among the existing warships, only the new America-class mothership of the UAC Federation will be able to hold out until the second launch.
In addition to the electromagnetic railgun, the "Twin Eyes" naturally has several large-caliber particle main guns as auxiliary means of attack, as well as countless small turrets to prevent mobile suits from close combat.
The diameter of the "Tianjing Right Eye" reaches 10 kilometers, which is slightly smaller than that of the civil space city, and the overall shape is incomplete and spherical. The opening of the air port is facing the direction of Tianjing, which can be completely closed in wartime, and can temporarily contain five capital ships or ten destroyers. There are a total of 1,000 mobile suit silos in the fortress shell, which can be used to catapult 5,000 types of mobile suits stationed in the fortress.
According to the principle of the establishment of the armed forces of the New Asian Republic, a standard fleet has 10 capital ships of all classes, 40 destroyers, 5,000 mobile suits, and 10 troop carriers carrying mobile suits. The "Tianjing Right Eye" fortress is equivalent to the fleet establishment, although there are no warships, it is also equipped with 5,000 mobile suits for fortress defense.
In addition to the mobile suit pilots, the fortress is home to a total of 50,000 military personnel of various types. There are a lot of people, but for this huge fortress with a volume of more than 400 cubic kilometers, it is not a problem to accommodate more than ten times the population. As a result, the interior of the fortress is not as cramped as a battleship, and the main passage inside can even pass two humanoid mobile suits side by side. The internal living area of the fortress is the same as the civil space city, with an ecosphere and sunshine simulation system, so that the daily life environment of the fortress is as comfortable as a civil space city.
For the soldiers of the New Asian Army, it is an honor in itself to be able to climb the "eyes", not to mention that Fengyu is here to participate in the training and assessment of pilots, and as soon as they arrive at the airport of the "right eye of Tianjing", there will be a special liaison officer to receive them. The pilot of the humanoid mobile suit is second only to the high-end combat power of the space force, and who knows if there will be a future ace pilot in it.
After entering the "Tianjing Right Eye", the treatment of the drivers was improved as soon as possible, and each of them was assigned a single room, which was the treatment only for officers. Of course, in the military system of New Asia, non-commissioned officers are junior officers. It's just that non-commissioned officers of other branches of the military do not enjoy the treatment of a single room, which is the prerogative of pilots. As prospective pilots, they enjoyed this privilege in advance, living in the quarters of junior officers in the living quarters of the fortress.
Living in the "Right Eye of Tianjing" gives Fengyu a sense of intimacy, he himself is a space human born in the Landan-Deon-L4 Space City, and he is almost 17 years old this year, and he has not yet set foot on the surface of the planet.
In this era, the planetary surface is similar to the mansions in the prime location of the metropolis in the old days, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to live in. After the normalization of interstellar travel, the most strategically valuable planets are habitable planets, and then agricultural planets and mineral planets rich in rare minerals. In order to compete for a habitable planet, the new European Union and the New American Federation did not hesitate to wage a protracted war against the new African kingdom and the new Asian republic.
So for Fengyu, Space City is his life, and the planetary surface is another world that is out of reach.
On the first day of coming to the "Tianjing Right Eye", the base did not assign tasks to them, but let them relax on their own and reverse jet lag.
Compared with the space city and space fortress with the sunshine simulation system, the major fleets do not have a clear concept of day and night, the crew of the ship is on duty in three shifts, and the mobile suit pilot works and rests according to his own rules. A day is not necessarily 24 hours for them, some are shorter, some are longer, and only during the war will there be unity. So it's a necessity to get them jet-lagged.
Feng Yu was lucky, and his work and rest time for a while was basically the same as the sunshine simulation system of "Tianjing's Right Eye", so he walked around the living area alone. In fact, it is not entirely a matter of luck, but he has recently arranged his daily life according to the standard time of the New Asian Army.
The so-called standard time of the New Asian Army is determined by the time zone where the military headquarters is located on the surface of Tianjing, and this time is displayed on the battlefield recorders of all military personnel. All space fortresses or space bases with a sunshine simulation system also follow this standard time to schedule "sunrise and sunset", which is actually very easy to synchronize.
In fact, except for a few guys who lack eyes, almost all of the 13 drivers who came to receive training and assessment have adjusted their schedules in advance.
Walking through the streets of the living quarters, he put his hands on the pergola and squinted his eyes to look up at the sky. The "sky" is very blue and blue, as clear as the best sapphire, a few "white clouds" with a very comfortable shape are floating slowly, and the orange-red "sun" hangs obliquely in the sky at the end of the street.
"How long has it been since you saw the sky?" Fengyu struggled to recall his life in the Landanum Dela's L4 Space City. Although the "sky" in the space city is made by the sunlight simulation system, for him who has lived in the space city since he was a child and has never set foot on the surface of a planet, this is his sky. Even if you know it's fake, you still like it.
At this time, a full year had passed since he left the Landanum Deonos L4 Space City, and when he saw the "sky" again after a year, he couldn't help but stand on the street and look at the "sun" that was slowly setting westward for a while. I don't know how long it took for him to feel a little thirsty, so he came back to his senses and turned his head to look around, trying to find a place to sell drinks.
After all, the "right eye of Tianjing" is a military fortress, the living area is no better than the civilian space city, and the leisure and entertainment facilities are very few.
The soldiers of the New Asian Republic basically do not need cash before retiring, and their allowances are a set of numbers presented on the battlefield recorder, which are automatically issued by the system according to each person's rank, military type, position, and length of service, and Fengyu, who has been in the army for less than a year, is no exception.
According to his allowance standard, there should be tens of thousands of Asian dollars in the account at this time, and in the fortress living area where the consumption level is relatively low, as long as it is not too extravagant and extravagant, the consumption power is still quite high.
Walking into this multi-functional restaurant called "Right Eyelash", it was the afternoon time, the bar was not open, and it was too early for dinner, Fengyu chose a good position by the window, and asked for a glass of ice cappuccino, while tasting the rich fragrance, while watching the artificial sunlight on the street.
The depression of the closed life of space voyages in the past year, as well as the shadow of Taiya's WH rout, seem to have been dispelled a lot by the warm sunshine.
At this moment, a beautiful figure in the uniform of the Space Force appeared on the street, the slightly petite figure wrapped in the fitting uniform, looking exquisite, it was the same batch of Shirley who came to train.
