The entire Star Cruiser has a total of five floors.

At the top is the battle deck, which is filled with various space weapons and radar systems.

The second layer is the communication layer, which is mainly responsible for communication inside and outside the cruiser, and is mainly stationed with radar operators and communication technicians.

The third layer is the one she is on, which is the command level.

Under normal circumstances, battleship pilots, navigators, combat commanders at all levels, senior officers, and star fighter pilots are all on this level.

It can be said that where the elite are located, it is no wonder that it is placed in the safest middle layer.

It's just that this time it's a special operation, and the third layer only has her, the captain, and the eight pilots, and two navigators, and there are no other commanders, senior officers, or star fighter pilots.

The fourth level of the cruiser is the territory of the Star Marines.

They are the most junior sergeants in Starfleet, they are ordinary people, and there are no genetic evolutionaries.

Because this is a search and rescue operation, the star cruiser is not fully manned at present, and only carries 500 star marines.

If there is a special situation in the asteroid belt that requires a landing battle, they will have to go to the top.

The fifth floor is the largest and highest belly.

Various types of star fighters, military aircraft, interstellar airships, as well as various weapons, ammunition and supplies are stored here.

Of course, this time, in order to rescue those students, a small half of the entire fifth-level cabin was vacated, leaving a place for more than 100 star fighters for the students.

Xia Chu saw that nothing else was enough, and stared at the fourth floor where the Starry Sky Marines were for a long time.

"It's actually all ordinary people...... Xia Chujian muttered, "Isn't this just proper cannon fodder......"

She sat alone in the captain's room of the Star Cruiser, pulled out the virtual display, and began to look at the resumes of the Star Marines on the fourth floor.

There were five hundred people in total, all from the Fourth Starfleet.

However, Xia Chujian found that these 500 people had actually been in the Fifth Starfleet and were transferred over.

And looking at the time, it was transferred four years ago.

If Xia Chujian is not mistaken, Meng Guanghui told her that four years ago, it was when Huo Yushen was betrayed by a traitor with the Fifth Starfleet and fought with the Starfleet of the Southern Cross Principality until there were only the last three left.

But how did these 500 Star Marines survive that battle?

At the beginning of the summer, there was a strong sense of confusion and interest.

She thought about it, and she didn't plan to ask the starship pilots and navigators here, but planned to ask these starship marines directly.

She turned off the virtual display, came out of the captain's quarters, and said to one of the guards guarding the door, "I want to meet those Star Marines." Can you take me to the fourth floor? ”

The guard hurriedly said, "Yes, Captain! This way, please! ”

He nodded to the other guard at the door, and then led Natsu Hatsumi down the hallway to the staircase.

There is an elevator and there are stairs that you can walk down.

The guard respectfully asked, "Captain, do you want to take the elevator or take the stairs?" ”

Xia Chujian said: "Only go down one floor, don't take the stairs?" ”

The guard scratched his head, blushed, and whispered, "Although there is only one floor, the height is not low...... Take the stairs and there are more than 300 ......"

Xia Chujian: "!! ”

Lu is timid, isn't it?

This is a performance of the scale of the Star Cruiser without a B number!

Xia Chujian didn't feel ashamed, and said with a smile: "That's it? Then let's take the elevator, thanks for the reminder. ”

The guard looked at her in surprise.

I didn't expect this new female captain to really have no shelf......

In the past, if these sergeants showed that they knew more than the officers, they would either be reprimanded on the spot or put on small shoes afterwards.

Very few officers would be inappropriate.

He just didn't expect that when he first saw this "captain" in the summer, it was only temporary.

And she herself is used to being grassroots, and she has never felt how shameful her grassroots identity is, and she even wants to publicize it so that some people don't expect too much from her......

Of course, the first time I saw Xia was because I had just graduated from high school and had been a scumbag for many years, so how normal it was to have something I didn't understand!

How can someone correct it and become angry?!

If you get angry so easily, you still don't want to live, and your phosgene will be so angry that it goes beyond the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements.

Xia Chu walked into the elevator when he saw that it was not the right thing, and was still in the mood to ask the guard: "...... Why is the fourth floor so high? ”

Seeing that she was easy-going, the guard patiently explained, "Because it's for the marines." When fighting, the marines used a lot, and the fourth layer was said to be one layer, but when it was really used, it could be divided into 16 layers, and the amount of troops transported could be quadrupled. ”

Xia Chujian silently calculated in his heart.

Quadrupling the number of troops is sixteen times, according to the height of 300 steps, that is to say, the height of the fourth layer of more than 50 meters can be divided into layers of more than three meters high.

Tsk, that's amazing.

The operation to exterminate the rebels near the city of Kanli Xingara was really just a small fight.

Xia Chujian had a preliminary idea of the scale of the interstellar war.

"Now there are only five hundred Star Marines, so isn't the fourth layer empty?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.

The guard nodded: "Yes, because we don't really want to fight, this time there is a small room for five people, and there are only 100 barracks in total, and most of the fourth floor is empty." ”

Xia Chujian said: "Actually, we didn't need starry marines to save people in the asteroid belt this time. ”

According to the manual she read, the Star Marines were sergeants who were fighting interstellar wars, and after breaking through the opponent's outer space defenses, they were transported by aircraft to the opponent's atmosphere to carry out landing operations.

It is a veritable "marine".

The guard smiled: "The situation in the asteroid belt is ever-changing, so it's better to be careful." ”

Xia Chujian didn't think so, but she also knew that since she was the captain of the ship, these five hundred starry sky marines were her responsibility.

She's going to have to bring them all back.

……

The elevator stops on the fourth floor.

Xia Hatsumi walked out with the guards.

She wore the Fourth Starfleet uniform and appeared in front of the Star Marines on the fourth floor.

Because they had received a notice in advance that Xia Chu had seen the guards, these people had already lined up and stood in a square waiting for her to review.

Xia Chujian was not polite, and walked directly onto the high platform and glanced at the team in front of him first.

When she looked at these starry sky marines, these people also lazily looked at Xia Chujian on the high platform.

They just messed around in the Fourth Starfleet.

This time, the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Starfleet directly named them to participate in the military's search and rescue activities, and it was said that if they were lucky, they could get a cheap military merit.

At first, they were quite excited.

But then they heard that the captain this time was a yellow-haired girl who had only turned eighteen, so they didn't have much to look forward to.

They didn't know as much information as the pilots of this cruiser, and they thought that Xia Chujian was like those noble children who came to brush up on their military achievements.

There is no reverence at all for the first time in the summer.

But when Xia Chujian walked up to the high platform and stood in front of them, they found that this girl was not weak at all except for her slightly lower rank.

Moreover, these veterans have also fought many times in the Fifth Starfleet, so how can they tell if this person is really capable of fighting, or is it a showman?!

Therefore, when Xia Chucha glanced at him, they all stood up straight.

A little girl who has only turned eighteen years old has such a murderous aura, either she is talented, or she is really experienced in a hundred battles.

Either way, they deserve their respect!

Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows, a little strange about the change in the expressions of these sergeants.

Is this a compliment?

She didn't do anything......

Just glanced at them.

Xia Chujian put his hands behind his back and said a few high-sounding clichés.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xia Chujian. The captain of the Fourth Starfleet was temporarily drawn. ”

"In the next time, I will lead you to search and rescue the pilots and fighters of the lost Kanlixing Flight Base in the Sester Asteroid Belt."

"I was also training at that flight base, and this time, I was lucky enough to fly over the asteroid belt from a newborn wormhole with three comrades."

"But the rest of our base wasn't so lucky."

"I hope that everyone will work together with me to successfully complete the search and rescue activities."

"Now, please ask the captains of each team to go to Conference Room 400 to discuss today's search and rescue matters."

Xia Chujian waved his hand, walked down from the high platform, and followed the guard into the 400 conference room on the fourth floor.

Not long after, the five captains also walked into the conference room.

Xia Chujian learned that the original Star Marines were in a team of 100 people, each team had a captain, and the rest of the people, in groups of three, were horns for each other when they were fighting.

Of the five hundred, there were five captains.

She sat down at the top of the conference room and asked everyone to sit down before asking curiously, "Guys, I have a question that I hope you can help me answer." ”

The man who sat at the bottom of her left looked to be in his forties, his face was covered in signs of wind and frost, and his complexion was a sun-kissed bronz.

The sign on his chest reads: Second Lieutenant: Sun Jiahao, Captain of the 1st Marine Team of the Saker-class D1 Star Cruiser.

Sun Jiahao seems to be the leader of these captains.

He smiled innocently and said, "Captain Xia, may you ask." We must have something to say. ”

Xia Chujian and Yan Yue asked, "I just want to know, you all transferred from the Fifth Starfleet to the Fourth Starfleet four years ago, right?" ”

Everyone nodded together.

Xia Chujian asked curiously: "But I know that the Fifth Starfleet, which is said to be a fleet of more than 5,000 people, fought four years ago and only the last three people remained, and they almost lost their numbers, so ...... Was it before that battle that the transfer to Starfleet IV? ”

Because if it had been turned around after that battle, where would there be five hundred people left in the Fifth Starfleet?

The five captains didn't expect that Xia Chu would ask about this matter.
