Chapter 93: War Is Close

"Cut, it's so alarmist, as if it's dangerous to get on a space battleship, how can there be so many battles for us to fight?" One of the trainees said dismissively.

This is also the thought in the hearts of most of the cadets, many of whom have flown ordinary fighter jets on Earth for many years, and have hardly encountered any real battles.

For them, becoming a space pilot is more about honor and aura, knowing that this is the profession that all women want to marry the most.

Once you become a space pilot, not only will your status rise a lot, but more things will be attached, as long as you can wear a uniform to any bar, you will definitely become the target of women's crazy pursuit.

As for war and danger? No kidding, the Earth has not experienced a large-scale war for many years.

In the future, at most, I will fight interstellar pirates and escort warships, how can there be any danger?

Mu Chen was so disappointed in these students who had stayed in their comfort zone for a long time, he didn't even have a sense of crisis, and he actually wanted to be a space pilot.

You must know that the current situation of the Earth Federation is not good, there are many groups of interstellar pirates on the route to various immigrant planets, and the combat effectiveness of the two of them is not as vulnerable as reported in the media, and even with the private support of various countries, their strength is increasing day by day, and many space warships have been harassed by them.

There are also Proxima Centauri people who are about to arrive at Titan, Mu Chen doesn't think they are good at it, and there will definitely be no less friction and contradictions in the future.

In this situation of internal and external troubles, the students are still dreaming of peace, which is simply a nap on the bomb, and if they are not sober, then they will only regret it when the matter comes.

The instructor was also very dissatisfied with the negative mood of the students, and said angrily: "Don't dream here, do you really think you are here to gild?" ”

"Interstellar pirates are not far from us, and their strength is far stronger than you people imagined, you will all encounter them on the space battlefield sooner or later, with your current attitude, you will be sent to death when you go to the battlefield!"

The students were a little nervous, but they still didn't pay too much attention to it, this was just a means for the instructor to scare themselves, it was nothing more than to make the matter more serious and want everyone to be more vigilant.

Mu Chen saw everyone's reaction, and his heart was even more disappointed, and he simply didn't say anything more, those who should be eliminated will be eliminated sooner or later, and it is better to rely on himself to hope that these wastes can protect the safety of the Earth Federation in the future.

Leohard pondered without saying a word, he didn't disdain the words of Mu Chen and the instructor like the others. On the contrary, in his opinion, he is destined to go to the battlefield, and only on the battlefield can he get more honors.

But he didn't think that interstellar pirates were a big problem, they were just a group of outlaws, and under the fire of the Federation's high-level fighters, it was estimated that they didn't even have a chance to resist.

Turning his head to look at Mu Chen not far away, he saw that he was still doing maintenance work seriously, and he didn't seem to listen to other people's words at all, and was completely unaffected by the outside world.

Leohard thought about it, or continue to complete the work in hand, no matter what, this maintenance subject can't be avoided, since it is related to his own assessment results, it is better to take it seriously.

……

After the maintenance class, Mu Chen came to the space dock in Sky City to see how the battleship was assembled.

showed his ID, and the security personnel at the door let him go, and only reminded Mu Chen not to affect the work inside.

Entering the dock, Mu Chen was a little surprised by everything in front of him, the huge mechanical arm was hoisting the parts of the battleship, and the workers were also surrounding the battleship, debugging some equipment with the instruments in their hands.

The half-assembled warship is clearly a new model, with a length of only 40 meters, which is a bit larger than the Hurricane.

The shape is somewhat like a submarine in the ocean, with twin engines in the tail propulsion, which is obviously full of power.

Since the weapon system is not installed, Mu Chen can't be sure what level of warship this is, and can only roughly judge that this is a small frigate, which is estimated to be designed to protect large warships.

"Who are you, and who brought you here?" A staff member said to Mu Chen, obviously a little dissatisfied with Mu Chen's appearance.

Mu Chen hurriedly told him his identity, so as not to have any unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

"It turned out to be a student from the base, what, interested in this new model?"

"yes, I haven't seen this battleship before, I don't know what level it is?" Mu Chen asked curiously.

"It's still in the concept stage, and this is the first test ship. The designers designed it according to the requirements of the B-class frigates, but in my opinion, it is almost at the level of the quasi-A-class. The staff said proudly.

"Oh, it's amazing, I just don't know when it will be installed, I can't wait." Mu Chen said expectantly.

This frigate is obviously much stronger than the Hurricane, just from the power parts that are still being assembled, it can be seen that it is powerful, and the two fusion engines can at least give it twice the speed of the Hurricane.

"This matter is in a hurry, after the assembly is completed, it will be necessary to wait for the test pilot to test the flight before it can be determined whether it will be mass-produced, and if it is to be installed on various space carriers, it will take half a year later."

Mu Chen heard some information from his words, it turned out that it wouldn't be long before he could test fly, I don't know if he has a chance to be a test pilot?

"How can I become a test pilot?" Mu Chen humbly asked.

"You still want to be a test pilot?" The staff said in surprise, but still explained a few words to Mu Chen:

"The test pilots are not selected by us, they are all recommended from various space battleships, and one of your students probably has no chance to participate in the test flight."

"That's it......" Mu Chen was a little regretful, this kind of itchy feeling was really uncomfortable, such a good battleship actually didn't let him drive, Mu Chen's heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

"Just watch it here, I'm going to be busy." The staff said hello to Mu Chen and walked away.

Fortunately, none of the people in the dock rejected Mu Chen, an outsider, especially after knowing that he was a space pilot, he more or less answered some of Mu Chen's questions, which also made Mu Chen know more about the information of this battleship.

This Thunder I. frigate, built to make up for the lack of firepower of the Hurricane fighter, will be installed on the laser cannon caliber larger, the power has also been increased by a notch, can cause damage to the energy shield above level B.

The particle cannon is also the latest upgraded Tomahawk Type III, and its lethality has been greatly improved compared to the previous Type II.

The most important thing is its long-range strike capability, it is said that a new type of weapon will be installed on it, which can carry out precise strikes on targets 1,000 kilometers away, and this range can be farther than any current space weapon, which will be very significant in improving combat effectiveness.

Mu Chen is looking forward to it even more, I hope it can be completed as soon as possible, and it will be equipped as soon as possible, so that he will have the opportunity to drive it sooner.
