Chapter 134: The Ghosts
Shen Chao now has a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the mainstream Marine Corps of the Star Alliance. In addition to having more powerful weapons and equipment, the mainstream troops of the Star Alliance, both in terms of technical and tactical level, are only slightly higher than the average level of the professional armies of the main plane. But with the bonus of Mass Effect weapons and equipment, their ground combat effectiveness is dozens of times stronger than that of the main plane army.
Although it sounds good and powerful, in reality it is a small threat to him. Because these advanced weapons did not bring the balance of strength between soldiers of different primitives closer. On the contrary, these weapons and equipment widened the gap between the soldiers. Because of their sharper skills and reflexes, it is easier for more experienced fighters to control the situation on the battlefield.
Powerful shields allow super soldiers to not have to worry about being killed by a low hand. Their skill and experience make it easier for him to kill his opponents in an instant, and as long as there is room for tactical detours, a super soldier can burst out with several times the enemy's powerful combat power, often requiring dozens of times the strength to defeat a handful of such super soldiers.
And the ghosts are undoubtedly representatives of this super soldier. All of them were the best in the army, and they had to fight countless battles to get the qualifications to be selected. Shen Chao knew that Sister Xue's table yesterday was far from her limit. For the safety of future operations, he needs a more detailed investigation.
Follow almost the last passengers aboard the Normandy. Shen Chao put down his luggage in his dormitory and went to Shepard's room, as the first mate in Normandy, her single room was much larger than the bunk bed that Shen Chao was currently assigned to, although the living conditions of the Star Alliance's warships had improved significantly compared to decades ago. But the space of the battleship is still not very spacious. There are only 3 private rooms on the ship. One of them was temporarily given to the turian ghost of Nerus. The room vacated was for the Marines, who were designed in Normandy to have a full Marines of eight.
So now there is only half a Marine team in Normandy, and Shen Chao, Jenkens, Cayden, and Shepard are all made up of this Marine team. Shen Chao opened the sensor door. As soon as he stepped into Shepard's room, he felt a gust of wind coming from the side, and he almost hit him with a fist. Shepard ambushes him at the door! Before he could run out of the door, he felt a huge force pull him and nail him to the wall. Sister Xue is cheating with her abilities again.
Shen Chao was once again defeated by Sister Xue's ability, and he didn't try to resist at this time. That doesn't make sense. Sister Xue's ability field was very powerful, and she could pin Shen Chao to the wall like this for several minutes without any problem. This is something he had already experienced yesterday. "In the future, there must be a special person in your team!" He shouted in his heart, and then, smiling, he said, "You won't come to me just to fight again." Commander ......"
"No, I have a question for you. Corporal, why do you think you're qualified to compete with me for a place on the ghost? Sister Xue said such a sentence viciously. She didn't know where she heard the news.
"What? Shen Chao was confused, but yesterday Anderson told him that he would recommend him to train in the N7 training camp after the mission. But "ghosts"? Where is this?
"Don't lie to me, soldier. Do you know how hard I've worked to get to where I am today? You think you're qualified to fight with me......" Sister Xue began her own violent interrogation. This is the powerlessness of ordinary people in the face of the supernatural. Even with Shen Chao's current physique, he can only resist for a while longer, so that he will not be knocked out by her casually. But combined with the current situation, he wished he would faint as soon as he fell. It's so painful to be thrown up and down like a toy. …,
At the same time, Anderson, who was in the captain's room, looked at the image in front of him with a gloomy face. Nerus stood right in front of him, and the image on the screen was captured by the camera that Nerus had installed in Shepard's room. He is in charge of monitoring Shepard's watch in order to make a final evaluation. This camera is what he secretly installed. The Council of the Citadel will ultimately decide whether Shepard is eligible to be selected as a Ghost based on his evaluation. And he will investigate Shepard's su zhì as fully as possible.
"Wouldn't Star-League interfere with this kind of violence, and would someone who was so violent to his colleagues really qualify for being selected as a ghost?" Nerus commented.
"It's her private business. You're here to put her fighting skills to the test......" Anderson tried to divert the conversation. He also wondered where Shepard had heard the wind. About the Phantom's candidate is still a secret, and only a few people know about it. Although he informed Shepard, Shen Chao's matter had only just been put on the agenda. Even if it is a qiēshun lì, it will take several years for him to be eligible to be promoted. It stands to reason that Shepard would not have known. Unless......
"The ghost's body and mind must be in harmony, and there is no doubt that Commander Shepard is very powerful and can throw an adult up and down like a toy, but is this the best soldier of the Star Alliance?" Nerus made no secret of his disappointment. But Anderson could hear the schadenfreude in his tone, it was he who did it. It must have been him who sued Sù that Shepard Star United was preparing a second candidate. Thinking of this, Anderson very much wanted to give the Touareg in front of him a hard straight hook, but in the end, he gave up the idea of doing so and said in as calm a tone as possible
"You and I both know that it has nothing to do with attitude, if the council cared about the way the ghosts worked, Saren should never have been elected. He's killed almost as many innocent people as criminals......" Anderson reminded that ghosts are never immaculate angels. With extrajudicial powers, they often do everything they can to hurt the innocent.
"He always gets the job done," explained Nerus, who was a Touareg and a friend of his like him, and although he didn't like Saren's way of working, Saren's efficiency and results were unquestionable, and he was a legendary agent of the Citadel. Whatever the crisis, Salen is there to help the Council resolve it.
"Shepard is the same, give her a chance and she'll make you realize how good she is. Anderson argued.
"Well, I'll retract my opinion, but you'd better persuade your apprentice, Anderson. She's too impulsive. Nerus left the captain's room with a few words. He hadn't expected Shepard to be so easily provoked to anger, and he almost burst out laughing at the sight of Shepard throwing the soldier up and down like a rag doll. It's just that in order to maintain his image, he forcibly held back. After leaving the captain's room, he happened to meet Shen Chao, who had just come out of Shepard's room, and Nerus smiled and walked away.
Shen Chao's sister Xue's contradiction is just a small episode, Normandy is rushing to her destination little by little according to the predetermined plan. They all had tasks to do, and there wasn't enough room inside Normandy for them to fight. So until they arrived at their destination, there would be no new fights, and Shen Chao could observe the Normandy as carefully as he hoped.
The Normandy is a typical frigate, of course, in terms of size. More than 200 meters in length, 3 deck structures. Both firepower and protection are at the level of a corvette. But her cost is more than 500 million star coins. What is the concept of 500 million Star Coins? Shen Chao is now a Normandy crew member, with a high salary, 600 star coins per month! Don't underestimate this little bit of income. With the purchasing power of Star Coins, this is at least $18,000 on the main plane. Therefore, if converted into US dollars, the cost of a single ship in Normandy has reached 15 billion US dollars! It is an absolute big seller, and only the intelligent races of the interstellar era can build and afford this kind of warship. …,
However, even according to the standards of the interstellar age, Normandy is too expensive, because such a large sum of money is almost enough for Starlink to build another dreadnought, which is the kind of super firepower platform with a length of more than 1 kilometer, powerful firepower, extremely thick armor, and hundreds of crews. However, Normandy was not built to take on the task of that kind of firepower.
As a real warship, Normandy was financed by the Touareg and the human government, the joint technical force, the Citadel Council. It is currently the most advanced penetration warship in the galaxy. Theoretically, Normandy is able to penetrate the detection of any known race without being detected. Perform reconnaissance and assault missions behind enemy lines.
After Shen Chao came out of Sister Xue's room, he went straight to the infirmary, ready to accept biochemical transformation, Anderson had already asked his opinion, he was still a little hesitant before, but after understanding Sister Xue's violent tendencies through the past two days, he decided to accept the transformation as soon as possible, at least to improve his recovery strength. Don't let yourself be beaten by Sister Xue next time and vomit blood.
When he arrived at the infirmary, Dr. Chakoworth checked his condition. This time Shen Chao was not injured. Dr. Chakoworth gave him a full physical examination. I have to say that the basic medical facilities in Normandy are really complete.
"Got into trouble with the commander again, corporal?" Dr. Chakovos asked with a smile when he saw him. She is a very kind old lady, according to the standards of the main plane, the old lady of this age should have retired at home a long time ago, but thanks to the powerful medical care technology of this era, in addition to the wrinkles on her face, her body is not much worse than that of a young person. With decades of medical experience, she is one of the best resident physicians in the Star Alliance. Not only is he proficient in various medical and surgical methods for human beings, but he also has a deep understanding of the physiological structure of the major mainstream intelligent races, and has a lot of experience in rescuing alien races.
