Chapter 246: A Part of the Spoils
Of course, Shen Chao can also choose a professional first mate to command the battleship instead of him, and then completely ignore the daily affairs of the battleship, just like Sister Xue did.
But this did not meet his need to fully control the battleship. It is not in line with his long-term development in the future. Besides, Sister Xue also told him that it is not difficult to pass through such an exam!
Isn't it difficult? It's not hard for a superwoman like her, right? Shen Chao looked at a large stack of books nearly 2 meters high in front of him, and suddenly felt that he had been cheated by Sister Xue. The knowledge in these books is all kinds of theoretical knowledge that must be mastered to be a qualified starship captain.
Aerospace, Astronomy, Navigation, Introduction to Battleship Engineering System, Communication ...... in Complex Jamming Environments A large number of tomes were placed in front of Shen Chao.
4 years! This is the time it normally takes for the Star Alliance Navy to train a qualified warship commander, and Shepard's record when receiving battleship command training is 2 and a half months. But she's no ordinary person!
Seeing the large stack of books in front of him, Shen Chao finally understood why it took 4 years for normal people, in theory, a qualified battleship commander should memorize all the contents of these books, that is, memorize them!
What is this concept? This is equivalent to asking a person to memorize more than 20 books equivalent to the amount of words in a Xinhua dictionary! This is the amount of hundreds of millions of words, and Shen Chao finally understands why such a big organization as Starlink will launch preferential policies every year to recruit ship control talents.
Although there are many talents in the Star Alliance Navy, all kinds of cattle emerge in an endless stream. However, it is necessary to master the navigation, engineering, and communication of warships in the vast sea...... It still takes a lot of time to acquire knowledge and skills in professional courses.
Shen Chao has a month to prepare before he officially takes office, which also means that he only has one month to master these theoretical knowledge.
Fortunately, he made up for the engine part when he was on the Normandy, and he had also learned a lot of other materials before, so he now needs to specialize in courses such as navigation and communication.
After learning that he wanted to personally master the art of commanding a battleship, the Star Federation also fully cooperated, and assigned him more than a dozen professional instructors in one go. Help him master basic warship command skills before he officially takes command of the Budapest.
After a month of professional guidance, practical operation on the ship, theoretical lessons and 18 hours of study every day, Shen Chao finally passed the junior battleship command exam with his now monster-like memory and energy.
Now he is a certified junior battleship commander, setting a new record. And in the meantime. Alice, Custer...... They also conducted their own N7 standard tests in the N7 training area on the space station.
Alice and Castelton Guò are more relaxed, after all, their level is very long. Dr. Neville barely crossed the line, and Jonathan was only slightly better, but they both did get through.
Therefore, now Shen Chao can be sure that his team has reached the level of ordinary N7 fighters at least when they are engaged in land battles. Shen Chao was barely satisfied with the two of them.
Of course, Shen Chao was only barely satisfied, but the others would not see it that way, and the N7 trainer in charge of testing them was surprised that Shen Chao could find so many strongmen who had reached the N7 level.
N7 is a one-in-a-million master. There are only about 1 in 10,000 fighters in the Star Alliance Navy who can reach the N7 level, and it is really difficult for Shen Chao to find so many players of this level.
Alice, in particular, scared the instructor in charge of the test as soon as her test count came out. Because the level of her abilities in the test is far beyond that of ordinary N7 abilities, only the legendary Sister Xue can match her. This caused great concern among all the N7 fighters on the space station.
Anderson, who had just returned to Arcturus, even came over directly to ask for someone, he saw Sister Xue's shadow in Alice, that powerful and unrivaled potential ......, he wanted to be a Bole again, and then train a super soldier for the Star Alliance. Maybe it's the third ghost?
Of course, both Shen Chao and Alice politely rejected his request. They are not interested. It's even more time to get ready for the return trip, the loot of this trip has arrived, and it's time to collect the loot and go home.
On the day the test is completed. Shen Chao took his team to receive his battleship at a dock on the Arcturus space station, and the Budapest was quietly parked in the dock outside, waiting to set sail.
"It's a beautiful ship, but it's a pity that we can't take ...... away" In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the docked port, Alice, who was leaning on Shen Chao's arms, looked at the huge hull outside the window and said.
Outside the window, the Budapest looks very new, with the white hull sprayed with the Star Alliance Navy logo, and the bow of the ship has the word Budapest written in the letters of a three-story building.
"Be patient, baby, and wait until the next time we come." The ship will be in our complete control. Shen Chao hugged his girlfriend in his arms and said regretfully.
Shen Chao also wanted to bring the Budapest back to the main plane immediately, it was really unpleasant that he couldn't take it away immediately when he had such a powerful warship.
Because as long as such a warship is under his control, there will be no more power in the main plane that can threaten them. The government, the military, and the technological level of the five hooligans will not threaten them at all.
Of course, the idea is good. But that's not something they can do right now. Because there are so many technical issues involved, crew loyalty, daily maintenance conditions......
These were all things he didn't have on the main plane, especially the crew. The crew members selected for him by Starlink will undoubtedly do their job well, but these people are loyal to Starlink.
But with what method. The consequences of rushing them to the main plane are unpredictable, which is the main reason why they can't take the Budapest away immediately.
Of course, this crossing was not in vain, and by this time, the cargo hold of the Budapest was already full of the trophies of their crossing.
With these trophies, they were able to quickly recruit enough men to return in the near future to complete control of the Budapest.
"Are you all right, don't forget our schedule......" Custer's voice interjected, he was reminding Shen Chao to hurry up and finish today's plan. He couldn't wait to get back to base, and then flew to Vegas to relax.
"Alright, don't rush, let's go." Shen Chao said and let go of Alice, sorted out his military uniform, and then led a few people to the boarding bay on the other side of the port of the Budapest. They're all light now.
After some standard boarding procedures, they smoothly entered the interior of the Budapest, which was the No. 3 deck of the Budapest, and Shen Chao rushed directly to the CIC location after boarding.
CIC is the core of a battleship, which is the core control area of the communication, fire control, and command organs, and the location of the captain when he directs the operation, which is equivalent to the brain of the Budapest.
Shen Chao rushed here for the first time because the acting captain of Budapest was here, and he had to complete the handover of the command of the battleship in order to truly obtain the command of the battleship.
After passing through the two hatches, Shen Chao arrived at the CIC and met the acting captain, and it was amazing that the acting captain of the battleship was Anderson.
Anderson had just been promoted to the rank of admiral a few days ago, and it was said that it was the result of Sister Xue's kind words to him within the Star Federation after the Battle of the Divine Castle.
"Ah, Major, I'm wondering when you'll come. Anderson, who was dressed in a military uniform, greeted Shen Chao and his group after entering.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Admiral. Shen Chao saluted him and said apologetically, if he hadn't stirred up the situation, Anderson might have been pushed to the lofty position of human ambassador by Sister Xue at this time. So most of his apologies are for this.
"Oh, no, no, no trouble, we've only been in port for two hours, but if you're a few hours late, maybe I'll take your captain's room for sleep." The old man looked at Shen Chao and made a joke.
Captains are generally very concerned about the maiden voyage of their warships, and even if they don't care about the maiden voyage, they are usually very concerned about the right to use their captain's room for the first time.
After Anderson finished speaking, he began the handover procedure with Shen Chao, he first notified the crew of the ship through the whole ship that their captain had boarded the ship, and then began the handover of the captain's security code.
"Alright, she's yours. Anderson said and saluted Shen Chao again, he had just handed over his captain's security code to Shen Chao through the universal tool.
This is a thousand-digit password combination, and the person with this security code can gain supreme control over all systems of the entire battleship.
Theoretically, this kind of security code is almost impossible to crack, at least the time cost of cracking no one can afford. After all, no one can afford to wait for a supercomputer to count centuries of cracking time.
With this security code, Shen Chao can freely open and close or adjust the various systems, hatches, and weapons on the ship, and no one else can use his limited control authority to get past the captain's control.
After Shen Chao obtained this permission, he immediately opened the control interface of the whole ship in the star map section of the CIC, and quickly checked the status of the various systems all over the Dapest.
Communications, Weapons, Engines...... It took him a few minutes to inspect several large systems, and it was finally determined that it was a battleship in good condition.
"It's a good ship, Major, take care of her. Anderson took his leave after waiting for Shen Chao to check all the systems, he knew that the new captain of his battleship needed some personal time, especially Shen Chao with his girlfriend.
