Kiju Island, Blue Star Building.

At this time, the training hall seemed a little deserted, and nearly 50 people used to live and train here, but at this time, there were less than 20 people, including the staff.

There are fewer and fewer familiar faces, and the comrades-in-arms who once trained together have long gone their separate ways and become stars in the spotlight, while they are still hiding in obscurity in the Blue Star Building......

…… However, at this time, there was not the slightest dissatisfaction on the faces of the trainees.

On the contrary, their faces were filled with excitement, excitement, and a slight nervousness.

“…… It may be a little different from when you usually fly the simulator, but don't be nervous, don't be nervous, fly boldly, Xiaoxiao is already waiting online, and if there is an accident, it will take over the fighter at any time. ”

Chen Zheng stood in front of the big screen, looking at these energetic prospective pilots in front of him, and felt a little emotion in his heart. However, at this moment, he didn't make any long speeches, just talked about the precautions a little, and then encouraged these novices not to put too much pressure on them.

"So...... Who's the first to come? ”

"I'll come." Brother Cheng stood up, glanced at Brother Dong and the little fat man, and was the first to walk into the cockpit.

"Hoo ......"

After sitting in the simulation cabin, Brother Cheng took a deep breath and pressed his hand on the touch screen.

After experiencing the "open class" with on-the-spot demonstrations, all the trainees' sense of identity with Bluestar and the Desert Star Base behind Bluestar has risen sharply.

In addition, the "Sky Leak" incident may be repeated at any time, and the earth is likely to become a battlefield, so cleaning up the Desert Star and building the Wild Star into an unsinkable "Ark" is not only for your own safety, but also for your family and friends.

Their own identity, combined with external pressure, allowed the trainees to quickly integrate into their new identity – a pilot who fought for himself, his family, and the world.

This is both the pressure they face and the motivation that makes them stronger.

"The system is activated, the login name is Dai Zhicheng, and the number is ACE003." Brother Cheng skillfully touched the joystick and used voice recognition to start the simulator.

"Landing confirmed, welcome to Captain Dai Zhicheng." The computer-synthesized female voice sounded in Brother Cheng's ears.

"Apply for the right to use Z01." Brother Cheng said calmly.

The Z01 is a Viking fighter that has been modified separately in manned/unmanned dual-pilot mode. It was first specially modified for Chen Zheng, and was later teleported to the earth. Xiaoxiao used to drive away the Meiguo aircraft carrier formation, and it was also this fighter.

"Please enter the purpose and time." The electronic female voice asked.

"Actual flight test training, 1 hour."

"Application Accepted......

“…… The review is passed, and the connection is being synchronized......"

“…… Synchronization is complete. ”

"Hum—"

With the characteristic starting sound of the electric jet engine, the originally dark screen lit up, and Cheng Ge soon found that he knew the place around him.

"Huh? This is...... Earth!? Brother Cheng was surprised.

This is not just the earth, but also a place that Brother Cheng is very familiar with - the surrounding scenery is the same renovated warehouse that was used for military training for them before!

At this time, a 300-meter-long track was opened up in the center of the playground, and Z01 stopped quietly at the starting point of the run.

"That's right." Chen Zheng's voice suddenly sounded, "This Viking fighter is by our side now. ”

“…… Hiss...... Whew......"

Brother Cheng took a deep breath here, and then slowly exhaled ...... The pressure in my heart seemed to be slowly exhaled with the breath.

"According to the rules...... Fuck the rules! ”

At the beginning of the runway, the Viking fighter numbered Z-01 suddenly spread its wings, like a frog ready to jump, and then Cheng Ge pushed the throttle valve violently......

"Buzz ————"

Z-01 is like a dragon piercing the sky, soaring upward, as if a rocket that has just been launched is flying higher and higher.

One Viking fighter flew to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then the throttle valve was closed, the wings swung lightly, and the whole plane turned down and slammed down on the ground......

…… The dive speed of the Viking fighter became faster and faster, and even began to faintly turn red on the wings and impact angles, and when the plane was about to fall to the ground, it suddenly spread its wings and changed out and flew flat less than 50 meters from the ground......

"Boom-roar-"

The majestic power and the realism of the wings carrying the air made Cheng Ge feel a kind of refreshment that he had never felt before, and began to fly in tricks.

……

"Talented." On the side of the desolate star, the man with glasses was also paying attention to Dai Zhicheng's first flight.

"Hmm." Chen Zheng nodded.

"Although it seems that it is not as good as 'Wind' for the time being, it is much stronger than our current pilots. If we have a few more pilots like this, we can take out the large bug base of the F717. ”

The man in glasses counted with his fingers.

"If nothing else, there is one more at the same level as him, and 12 others who are slightly worse than him." Chen Zheng replied.

"Great! I can't wait! The glasses man's face was filled with the urge to try.

In fact, among the people above the desolate stars, the aliens such as the glasses man are the ones who can feel helplessness and despair the most. After all, they are not like other earthlings, they still have their own hometowns, and there is a way out, most of them don't even have a home to go back to, so they just go with the flow on the star road.

Now they have "flowed" to the Desert Star, and there is no means to leave the Desert Star for the time being, which means that the Wild Star is their "home" at this stage.

And the appearance of insects has made their "homeland" precarious, and the feeling of helplessness of having nowhere to go and homelessness is indeed not something that ordinary earthlings with a motherland and a hometown can feel.

And now, the duckweed-like life of the glasses man finally sees the hope of stability in these trainees, and the excitement is far from what ordinary earthlings and refugees can experience.

"Hmm...... Me too. Chen Zheng looked at Brother Cheng flying all over the sky and said thoughtfully.

……

An hour passed quickly.

Brother Cheng, like Little Fatty, did not go through the so-called "run-in period", except for being a little jerky at the beginning, he quickly mastered the piloting skills of real drones.

But before he could fly, Didi's prompt sounded - he had timed out.

"When the time comes, the little takeover lands...... Next. As soon as Chen Zheng's voice fell, Brother Cheng's screen dimmed.

"......" Brother Cheng got out of the cockpit slowly, and looked at Chen Zheng and raised his mouth several times, but the sentence "boss add another hour" still didn't say it after all.

After Brother Cheng completed the first test flight in his life, he was followed by Brother Dong.

For such a powerful weapon as the Viking fighter, it cannot be completely handed over to the trainees for the time being, so the trainees do not have their own Viking fighters at their disposal, they are all temporarily deployed through a complex authorization system, and they will also be supervised by other pilots during the pilot, as long as there is any problem in the flight of the trainees, they will immediately pass the pilot.

For the time being, except for the little fat man, Chen Zheng can't fully trust this batch of trainees, so a complicated application system is inevitable, but this also eliminates the trainee accident factor - if a certain trainee suddenly has a whim, a neuropathy or something like that, it will not cause any damage to the Desolate Star Base.

Dong Ge also revealed his name and military rank, and after applying for the purpose and time of use, he did not "take off the rocket" like Brother Cheng, but accelerated, got off the ground, and climbed in a decent manner.

Although it only runs to a short 300 meters, for a Viking fighter with a full wing and a super-power electric jet engine, it is romantic to take off on the spot, and 300 meters or something is simply too redundant.

Dongge quickly pulled up the fighter, and after doing a few sharp maneuvers to warm up, he stretched out his wings and flew slowly around Kiju Island.

"Old lady! So slow! "Brother Cheng obviously doesn't like Dongge's style.

But Dong Ge still went his own way and was not affected by him at all, and after flying around Kizhou Island for a while, he flew into the air, and after completing multiple sets of large overload maneuvers smoothly and continuously at ultra-high speed, he drove the Viking fighter and slowly fell back to the tarmac before the time for application was exhausted.

……

"That's not a bad quality, isn't it...... But what does he mean flying around? In the channel, the glasses man was a little strange about Dong Ge's behavior.

"Hehe, he's checking to see if he's flying a real Viking fighter." Chen Zheng smiled casually, he had already seen through Brother Dong's moves.

Although he said it very well before, and Brother Dong has never made any abnormal statements, this kind of person is the most difficult to convince, and he is also skeptical of what Chen Zheng said.

And just now, Dong Ge deliberately drove a Viking fighter plane at a low altitude near the Blue Star Building...... It wasn't until the distinctive sound of the jet engine passed around the Blue Star Mansion that he truly believed that there was a powerful fighter outside.

And this is also the reason why Chen Zhengwei wanted to choose the first flight of the trainees on Earth - although he has no plans to disclose the Viking fighter for the time being, at least it can be regarded as a reassurance for them at this time.

Watching Dong Ge get out of the cockpit, some people just excitedly waited for their turn, while others looked out the window thoughtfully......

"Tried it? Finally relieved? Brother Cheng smiled at Brother Dong.

"Hmm." Dong Ge clasped his hands to his chest, and then turned his attention to the big screen in response.

“…… You said...... Will those real bugs be hard to fight? Brother Cheng, who was slightly excited, asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Dong Ge is concise and to the point.

"I was a little nervous...... I'm really shameless if someone beats me down...... Why don't we team up? Brother Cheng whispered an invitation to form a team.

As early as before the signing of the confidentiality agreement, Cheng Ge and others had already learned that the formation mode of Viking fighters was generally a two-plane formation. And so far, most of the tactics against boss-level flying units have also been two-plane formations.

On the one hand, this is because Chen Zheng and Xiaoxiao are strong enough, and two Viking fighters can tear through the defense line and kill the key units of the bugs, and on the other hand, it is indeed because there is no one.

Without qualified and powerful pilots, Chen Zheng and his small two-plane formation would not be able to expand, let alone any practical tactics.

Fortunately, after having more little fat people, Chen Zheng and the others are gradually exploring the tactics of the three-plane formation.

Brother Cheng's invitation to Brother Dong was based on the two-plane formation tactic - after all, the two of them were the strongest among the remaining trainees, and it was logical to form a team.

However, it was such a logical thing, and Brother Dong actually refused: "No, I can't team up with you." ”

“…… Why? Who else but me? The two of us are together to call a strong alliance......" Brother Cheng still asked without giving up.

"Hehe......" The corners of Brother Dong's mouth moved slightly, and he pulled out an arrogant smile, "I have teammates." ”

"Who!?" Brother Cheng was taken aback.

"Little Wind." Dong Ge still maintained the posture of holding his hands on his chest, as if he didn't care about anything...... It's a pity that after he squeezed those two words out of his mouth, the expression on his face became a little cheap, which made Brother Cheng angry when he looked at it.

"You! Depend on! How I didn't expect that! Brother Cheng said annoyedly.

Truly...... He didn't turn this corner, and the little fat man admired Brother Dong more, so the two of them formed a CP...... Ahem, forming a formation is really logical.

As one pilot after another completed their first flight, the first flight ceremony, which lasted a full 13 hours, came to an end.

Among these test flight trainees, in addition to Dong Ge and Cheng Ge, three more students with super adaptability emerged, and they flew at a level that was almost the same as the usual simulated flight.

The remaining pilots are slightly less talented, showing a certain degree of decline in strength.

Next, after a few more test flights, they will enter the actual combat link of marshalling. From the current point of view, except for Chen Zheng and Xiaoxiao; In addition to Little Fat Man and Dong Ge, there are two other strong combinations.

The appearance of Dongge's little fat group alone has greatly strengthened the strength of the Desert Star Base, and if you add Brother Cheng's squad and the other six battle formations, the strength of the Desert Star's air force can be said to have more than doubled.

That night, Chen Zheng led everyone to hold an internal celebration banquet, in addition to praise and encouragement, the banquet was nothing more than eating, drinking, chatting and fartizing.

I have been in intense training all along, and it is rare to relax today, and the actual flight experience is far more exciting than the simulated flight, so the scene is a little uncontrollable for a while, and several instructors have been poured a lot of wine.

Just when everyone was in full swing, Chen Zheng did not participate in this banquet.

Because, he finally waited for that call.

“…… Although we are happy to help you, and several academicians themselves have a strong will, but considering the risk issues, this makes the above very hesitant......"

Lao Xue's voice sounded in the microphone.

"Well, I know, they're all national treasures." Chen Zheng smiled, "But since you called me, then you must have a result over there, right?" ”

"Yes...... Old Xue's voice hesitated slightly, "...... I wonder if we can send security guards? ”

"No problem."

To Lao Xue's surprise, Chen Zheng didn't ask for anything, and readily agreed.
