Chapter 388: Preparations

"You think I'm pouring cold water on me?" That's right, I'm just pouring cold water, and only pouring cold water now can be a little useful, it's bad if it's late, and you know what kind of dangerous planes we often have to go to in the future, many of which are long-term missions. A slight mistake by the team members is enough to cause serious casualties, and any arrogance and complacency is the way to die......"

Shen Chao replied with a little imperceptible worry on his face, although his face was no longer as rigid as when he spoke on the podium before, he was not completely relaxed before he had recovered.

Although the current development of the space-time expedition seems to be very rapid, and it seems to be a great leap forward in the scale of the organization, in fact, all the core members know that the development of the expedition has entered a bottleneck period of low-speed development.

Taking a huge risk as in the Mass Effect world before, the operation of developing the strength of the expedition by leaps and bounds will not be the mainstream in the future stage, and the expedition has fully entered the stage of long-term development in the Legendary Plane and the establishment of the main base.

At such a stage, they will inevitably face heavy pressures in terms of talent, logistics, and organizational training, and they will not be able to transfer these pressures to high-risk plane exploration missions.

Because the focus of dimensional exploration has shifted from looting tactics and strategic materials to recruiting technical personnel. Rather than decreasing in difficulty in the coming years, exploring new worlds will become more difficult as mission objectives increase and equipment progress slows.

Of course, the difficulties are only temporary. The members of the expedition were not masochists, and the relatively difficult task of exploration in the coming stage was to prepare for a new round of great development even further. And the current group of students is the key to this turning point.

Four hours later, inside the command building, the trainees lined up in a long line outside the building in the order of the announcement, and received their own establishment sheets and mission briefings in small teams.

Due to the large number of students, the queue of students was very long, from the conference room on the 4th floor to the stairwell could not accommodate everyone, the queue went all the way to the outside of the building, and the students who had not yet been called by the radio were waiting nearby to be called, and then quickly joined the end of the line.

And at the very front of the line. The first batch of trainees who were called up have been divided into teams ranging from 4 to 9 by the instructors. Eight conference rooms on the fourth floor have begun to receive their own ad hoc and mission briefings.

Eight chief examiners, including Shen Chao, and 26 deputy examiners were briefing and explaining different tasks to different teams in eight conference rooms on this floor.

"Your first plane reconnaissance mission is very simple, locate and investigate these locations and search for these people. Then follow the orders to board the station and locate the equipment we need and the terminals of these systems. Cover its position and keep it as undetected as possible......"

Shen Chao pointed to the images in the hologram in the No. 1 conference room. The following group of 9 improvised trainees explained in detail the mission objectives and local basic situation of their first mission world.

Since it was the first interdimensional mission of this improvised squad. Therefore, the danger and difficulty of the first mission world assigned to them are not high. At this time, he was introducing the 9 students in front of him to a low-danger mission in a C-level low-danger plane.

Like many low-danger planes, this target world is militarily weak and has no interstellar capabilities. The economic order of the whole world is also very chaotic.

What's worse is that the gap between the rich and the poor in this world is still quite strict, and household registration management, medical services, etc. only serve the rich, so the government's ability to control the grassroots is extremely weak.

There are a large number of densely populated areas around the world, which are very suitable for hiding places and observation base stations. It is especially suitable for rookies who are crossing for the first time.

Due to the lack of first-hand information on the specific details of the target plane, Shen Chao spent a few minutes to introduce the basic overview of the mission plane, and gave the students a time to ask questions after playing the video materials. One of the cadets, who was appointed as a temporary squad leader, first raised his hand and raised his own questions.

"Captain, you mean to say that this plane hasn't been explored in any way?" In that case, our team will be the first to enter this plane? If that's the case, shouldn't we go in and do a preliminary reconnaissance first? ”

The temporary squad leader asked cautiously, although his personal training results were the best among the students in this group of improvised patchwork, but like the other students, he also had no experience in cross-dimensional reconnaissance, so he could only quote the discussion on the stages of dimensional reconnaissance mentioned in the reconnaissance course that Shen Chao gave them again.

According to this theory, in order to effectively and safely carry out plane exploration and follow-up missions, the expedition team must classify each target plane in detail according to the known conditions, and conduct preliminary reconnaissance at the time of the initial crossing to confirm whether the previously deduced profile of the target plane is true.

After confirming the timeline of the target plane, the level of scientific and technological development and other indicators meet the requirements of the mission, the follow-up exploration and development plan can be carried out, and if the basic conditions are not met, the plane should be withdrawn as quietly and safely as possible to prepare for the next reconnaissance.

"That's right, you're right, you'll be the first visitors to this plane. And according to the normal processing procedures, you do have to carry out systematic preliminary reconnaissance, however, this operation in this plane is a joint operation, and your team is not the only test team to enter this plane, before and after you enter, other teams will also enter this plane in batches according to their own schedules. The task of the initial reconnaissance of the plane was given to them, and you ......"

In order to answer his question, Shen Chao introduced some details of the operation to the students, and he didn't take this student's worries seriously at all, because the first plane of the students' test was really a low-risk world.

If one of the students can hang up in this low-danger plane with the current level of equipment and organization, then that student is really not the material for the work of plane exploration.

While Shen Chao was briefing this team, several other chief examiners in several other conference rooms were also doing the same work, but each of them gave each different team a different task, and the planes they were going to were also different.

Because it was the first time for a newcomer to "fly" on a large scale with no practical experience, there were only 3 planes in the first batch for examination purposes, and the danger range of these planes was not high, all of them were C-level.

The only thing that is challenging is that none of these planes have been explored by the expedition team before, and the specific situation needs to be determined by the trainees.

And in order to further reduce the difficulty of this stage of the exam, the examiners also split the more complex tasks in the exam into a number of different action stages and action steps, which were assigned to different teams to perform.

This will not only increase efficiency, but also allow each team enough time to observe and adapt to the specific situation of the target plane after entering the target plane.

In this way, the students entered the command building in groups, received their own compilation sheets and briefings like the previous team, and began to go to the examination plane in batches under the guidance of the instructor.

To do this, they first need to take a shuttle back to the space station where the plane's fixed space-time gate is located, and go through that space-time gate back to space station 0.

Although with Shen Chao's current ability, it is easier and faster to teleport these hundreds of them in batches, but with the increase in the frequency of planned tasks and the number of planes explored in the future, it is impossible for him to act as a dimensional vehicle for all team members all the time.

Therefore, if there is no emergency in the future, anyone can only cross the plane through the fixed space-time gate network set up by Guò. The fixed portal of this plane, like most other planes that have passed through the space-time gate, has been set up in space since the first phase of testing.

Anyone wishing to get through the space-time gate set up there can only use a small spacecraft to board the small relay space station with the space-time gate installed and go through at least two security checks in Guò before they can pass through the space-time gate on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, these are all theoretically existing systems, and for a long time before that, there were no security personnel and equipment at these test gates, and even some of the fixed gates that had just been established were only guarded at the end of the energy supply for the space-time gates.

However, such a relaxed system has come to an end with the end of the training of the first batch of trainees, because just as Shen Chao cannot act as a means of transportation for the team members forever, it is also impossible for him to guarantee that these space-time gates will not be discovered by official or unofficial organizations of the alien plane in future operations.

Once these space-time gates are discovered by the official organizations of those planes, the space-time council that has not yet grown up can easily fall into strategic passivity, and may even have to abandon some important plans.

Therefore, with the start of the test of these newcomers, the space-time gate plane security check management system was also officially established, and the trainees became the first batch of people to undergo a comprehensive security check when they passed through the space-time gate.

In orbit 3,000 kilometers outside the Earth's atmosphere on plane 024, a small combined space station is operating at full capacity, and in its only small air port, shuttles are constantly coming up, dropping down a small group of students in the cabin, and then leaving quickly.

The students had all been here when they came to this plane before, so they were not unfamiliar with this place. After getting off the plane, the trainees quickly left the not spacious airport under the guidance of the instructor and arrived at the rest areas in the combination cabins, where they were ready to go through the security check while forming a team.

"Finally, we're ......," a squad leader wearing heavy assault armor who had just taken off his sealed helmet in the rest area suddenly sighed. He is a Chinese from the I Am Legendary Plane named Lu Feng.

In the training camp, he was appointed Squadron Leader of the Second Squadron of the First Group due to his outstanding tactical command ability, rich experience in fighting and commanding mutants, and excellent ability to pilot multiple vehicles. (To be continued......)
