Chapter 92: Start as a maintenance soldier
The learning life in the training base is busy and boring, there are new challenges every day, and the performance of the students will also be recorded by the instructors and become a reference for the final test, so you can't let your guard down every day.
Today, everyone can finally enter the fighter, but not as a pilot, but as a maintenance personnel of the fighter.
The hundreds of fighters of all kinds in the training base need to do daily maintenance and maintenance, and they have to help these maintenance personnel today and participate in the maintenance of the fighters.
"Hell, I've been at the base for so long, and the first time I touched a fighter plane was actually a cleaner? I'm a good pilot, when have I ever done this kind of work? One of the cadets couldn't help but complain.
This is also inevitable, every pilot here can be regarded as the pride of the sky, in the past in the ground military academy or in the flight group on the earth, the existence of the stars and the moon, has never done this kind of rough work, it is normal to be a little dissatisfied in my heart.
"In the past, the fighter was responsible for the maintenance of fighter planes, but now that I am a space pilot, I actually do the work of a maintenance soldier, which is really an insult to our pilots."
This sentiment is prevalent among the more than 100 trainees, many of whom scoff at this subject, and only a few of them can hold on to it and honestly help the maintenance soldiers.
Mu Chen didn't care, he used to do these things often on the Giant Whale, simple parts maintenance, and he was more skilled than some maintenance soldiers, and the maintenance soldiers next to him were stunned.
"You've done this before?" The maintenance soldier beside him asked curiously.
"Well, I've done it a few times with the people in the maintenance team." Mu Chen replied modestly.
"Your proficiency is not something that can be practiced a few times." This maintenance soldier is also a familiar hand, and he can see Mu Chen's flaws at a glance.
These maintenance soldiers are also human beings, and they can feel the attitude of the pilots around them towards their work, and most of the pilots enjoy their services with peace of mind, but there are only a handful of pilots who can really afford this type of service.
There are even pilots who often replace the maintenance personnel who are responsible for the maintenance of their fighters because of their preferences, which is also their right, but it invisibly creates a natural gap between the pilots and the maintenance soldiers.
Mu Chen doesn't have this kind of discrimination, he was a bartender in a bar not long ago, and the citizen level is only E-level, so he is secretly happy when he is not looked down upon by others, where will he have the idea of underestimating the maintenance soldiers. When he saw Hou Yong using his maintenance technology to open a repair shop with good income, he didn't know how envious he was.
The mood of the maintenance soldier next to him is also much better, it is rare to have a pilot who sincerely follows his own learning, and naturally he has put a lot of effort into it, while carrying out the work in his hand, he took the time to give Mu Chen some guidance, and the work progress of the two people was very fast and smooth.
Mu Chen is one of the few people who can get along with his own maintenance team members on the Giant Whale, and he also knows the importance of daily maintenance of the fighter, and he humbly asks Lao Zhang for advice at every opportunity, even the trainee maintenance soldiers in the group He did not despise the attitude, which also spread among the maintenance personnel of the Giant Whale, and many maintenance soldiers hope to work in his crew one day.
This Mu Chen is really not a pretentious appearance in the eyes of others, he is really learning from the maintenance soldiers next to him, Lao Zhang They don't have such good eloquence, Ba Songkun is a mallet who can't beat a fart with three sticks, and he can't necessarily have any answers for a long time. For a while, Mu Chen talked and laughed with the repairman next to him, and the miserable maintenance work in the eyes of others was done by him with relish.
The other students also noticed the situation here, and at first they were still laughing at Mu Chen in their hearts that he was a hypocrite, but later they found out that Mu Chen was really enjoying it, not like pretending.
"There's a traitor between us?" All the students thought so.
Leohard was also a little strange, although he was also patiently doing the work of a maintenance soldier as much as possible, but in his heart, like most students, he hated this job. These damn parts don't look like they grow much, and when they are removed, they can't find their previous position, causing him a lot of trouble.
"How did that guy do it?" Leohard didn't think there was anything wrong with Mu Chen's relationship with the maintenance soldiers, but he was just wondering why he was so proficient that he could only do the simplest parts maintenance, and the maintenance soldiers were responsible for disassembly and assembly. But that guy is proficient in the work of the maintenance soldiers, and can even use some special instruments to test the fighter, which is really a bit incredible.
The instructors in the distance also watched everyone's performance, and as expected, the pilots were very resistant to the job, but there were exceptions.
Mu Chen's performance made this fighter maintenance instructor very satisfied, and his proficiency could even get a full score from himself, so he did not hesitate to mark an A-level score on Mu Chen's evaluation, which was also the highest score.
"Student Mu Chen, you don't have to use it to study this subject in the future." The instructor walked up to Mu Chen's side and said.
Other students just exploded, and there is this kind of operation? Aren't they doing chores for a long time, and this work is actually a training subject that is credited to the grade? This is terrible, and the previous performance will not make a good impression on the instructor.
"Instructor, I still hope to continue to learn some knowledge about repairing fighters." Mu Chen said unexpectedly.
"Oh? Can you tell me your reasoning? The instructor in charge of grading asked a little strangely, knowing that this job is not easy, and many repairmen don't really like their work.
Mu Chen thought for a while and said: "The fighter is the comrade-in-arms of our pilots, and it is not a big mistake to know more about the situation of some comrades-in-arms, and when you really go to the battlefield, you can understand some things about the maintenance and repair of the fighter, which can play a life-saving role at critical moments." ”
Mu Chen's words shocked everyone's hearts, this is the real insight.
Leohard also reacted quickly, the space battlefield is not comparable to the earth, there has been no war on the earth for many years, and almost none of their pilots have experienced actual combat, so no one has experienced the situation when the fighter plane is hit.
However, the space battlefield is different, there are interstellar pirates near many routes, and there will be some friction and battles from time to time, and sometimes there will be large-scale clean-up operations like the one Mu Chen encountered before, and casualties will definitely occur.
And the damage to the fighter will also appear on the real battlefield, sometimes you can master some repair techniques, and you can really save the pilot's life, after all, the maintenance soldiers will not go to the battlefield to repair the fighter for you.
