[Chapter 416 Digging and Digging]
“Simulator?”
“You know, the VF-25 is the latest fighter, and there are many new technologies applied to it. Let you get familiar with these new equipment with the simulator.” Michael explained the situation to David enthusiastically, with a bright smile on his face, as if he was really explaining the situation to David: “In addition, some preparations need to be made for the fighter to fly. Instead of waiting here, it is better to experience the simulator first.”
“That sounds like a good suggestion.” David also had a smile on his face, but anyone could see that the expression on his face revealed a taste of “I just want to see how you can get around it?”
This posture made Michael feel under great pressure, and he always had a sense of being caught by his girlfriend when he was cheating on multiple women.
Fortunately, although the other party saw through his thoughts, he did not refuse.
It seems that this rich young man of unknown origin is not difficult to deal with. Seeing
Michael leading the young man named David Glamorgan to the direction of the simulation training room, Ozma also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he is not unreasonable and unable to communicate, it’s fine.
Perhaps, after learning how difficult it is to fly a VF-25 through the simulator, this person will give up…
“This…”
Through the external screen, Michael, Luca, Eva, and Saotome Art can clearly see the simulated flight conditions.
David does not need any additional instructions. After entering the simulator, he quickly successfully takes off the “plane” and flies quite smoothly.
From the smoothness and stability of the fighter’s takeoff, it can be seen that David really knows how to fly a plane – the simulator inside SMS is not a game console, and the operation is no different from driving a real VF-25.
SMS pilots also use simulators for training, so being able to successfully take off and land on the simulator means that when driving a real plane, as long as the mentality is stable, these operations can also be completed.
Seeing this situation, Michael immediately went to greet Captain Ozma and made various preparations for the plane to take off.
“It seems that we all underestimated this guest.”
Although real flying is still risky, since the other party has proved that he knows how to drive and has a special identity, they can only accompany him.
“Go and prepare, fill the plane with propellant (flying in space requires propellant), and don’t carry ammunition.”
In order to prevent any accidents, Ozma prepared to accompany him personally. When issuing a series of orders, he also asked the logistics personnel to prepare their fighters for takeoff.
The captain was going, and Luca must go with him. The remaining Guilliam and Michael thought they would just go with him.
So when David came back, the whole team of the Skull Squad was ready to go – a standard VF-25A was prepared for David.
That is, the yellow-green painted VF-25 that often moves with the fleet and flies in formation at any time in the animation.
Generally, this fighter has another name: a miscellaneous soldier plane.
David didn’t mind arranging a miscellaneous soldier plane for himself. Anyway, there is no difference in performance between the standard VF-25 and the models used by the Skull Squad, but some of the equipment is different.
At the same time, SMS did not install an external backpack for the plane he was driving.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s more flexible this way.”
He came here to race cars, not to experience space wars. He can’t do without a super backpack! This way he can fly faster.
After watching David put on his flight suit and sit in the cockpit, Eva and Saotome Alter were led by SMS staff to the SMS’s combat command center: the bridge of MACROSS QUARTER.
Here, Eva met the captain of the battleship, Jeffrey Wilder, and the trio of Monica Lange, Ram Hoa, and Mina Roshan who were responsible for radar, communications, fire control, and battleship status monitoring.
Through the screen on the bridge, everyone could clearly see the situation of the Skull Squad and the fighter plane driven by David.
“Welcome aboard MACROSS QUARTER! Miss Eva McKenna, Mr. Saotome Alter.” Captain Jeffrey Wilder was quite polite to the two guests and did not put on an unhappy cold face.
To be able to reach the position of captain, he must have come into contact with so many different kinds of people. His interpersonal skills are many levels higher than that of Ozma, who has a sister complex.
David was not here at the moment, otherwise he would have thought of poaching him again.
“Nice to meet you, Captain Wilder.”
Saotome Art seemed a little reserved, but his good upbringing prevented him from being rude. He greeted everyone politely. In addition, as Michael and Luca’s friend and classmate, the people on the bridge were more enthusiastic about him than Eva.
While they were greeting each other, Skull Team No. 1 and No. 2, Captain Ozma and Michael had already taken off.
David was next, and after David successfully took off, it was Skull Team No. 3 and No. 4, that is, Luca and Killiam.
“I hope that Mr. Glamorgan won’t be too nervous when flying a real plane.”
Red-haired Ram looked at the VF on the screen and made a casual complaint, which immediately caused Monica to cough. At the same time, Mina with purple hair beside him also used her eyes to remind her partner not to talk nonsense, because there were outsiders here!
Realizing that he couldn’t be sarcastic today, Ram decisively shut up and watched the VF on the screen take off smoothly and rush into space.
David controlled the fighter to merge with the two fighters that took off earlier, and soon the other two fighters caught up.
Five fighters protected him in the middle in a “surrounding” manner to ensure that his guest would not encounter any accidents – of course, it was also to prevent him from causing any problems.
According to this formation, David did not need to observe the surrounding environment. If he flew honestly behind Skull No. 1, there would be no accidents.
“Follow me, we will fly around the fleet.”
Ozma’s stinky face appeared on the communication interface. David looked at the captain of the Skull Squad and said something that made his blood pressure soar: “Okay, why don’t we see who can complete this circle first.”
“What?”
Ozma was cut off by David before he could open his mouth to object.
Then the members of the Skeleton Squad saw the VF fighters that were “protected” in the middle rush out from the top of the formation, and then rushed straight forward.
“…”
The other three people all had an expression of “I knew it wouldn’t be that simple”, and veins appeared on Ozma’s forehead.
At this moment, everyone on the bridge saw this situation and glanced at Eva at the same time. Seeing that she looked indifferent, they didn’t know whether to worry about the safety of Mr. Glamorgan? Or complain about the two guests’ carelessness.
In any case, there will be excitement next.
The angry Ozma wanted to blow the disobedient guy into fireworks with a wild circus.
But even if he brought real ammunition, he couldn’t do it. He could only chase after it with a displeased look on his face. Until this time, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
“Huh?”
Although the VF fighter in front flew according to the set course and did not deviate from the flight route they set in advance, it did not fly in a straight line. This swaying posture seemed to be a provocation, and it seemed to avoid being locked by himself.
The experienced pilot Ozma immediately determined the situation: it was definitely the first one!
But he soon discovered that the maneuvering method of the VF fighter in front was a bit too outrageous. This flight route was not something that a manned aircraft could fly.
“How is this possible?”
Ozma observed for a while, and after discovering that the VF fighter in front of him was swinging towards him provocatively from time to time, he finally made a decision: “Luka, Killiam, you are responsible for retrieving the backpack, Michael, throw down the backpack and follow!”
While giving the order, the external backpack had been detached from the fuselage, and then the fighter accelerated to catch up with the VF in front.
“Alas, the situation has become more troublesome.”
Michael complained, but his hands were not slow, and David Glamorgan did arouse his interest. As an excellent pilot, it was inevitable that he wanted to compete with him.
Michael also removed the external backpack and drove his Skull 2 to catch up.
The three lightly equipped VFs disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, leaving Luka and Killiam responsible for retrieving the external backpack and bringing it back to the base.
“Luca.”
“What’s up, Senior Killiam?”
“Who is that Glamorgan?”
“LAI is discussing cooperation with him… As for why he has such good driving skills, I don’t know.” Luca realized that David’s words “the strongest pilot in the Kingdom of Winter” were not bragging. His Majesty’s flying skills were indeed very good. Luca believed that he would never be able to catch up with the fighter plane piloted by David. “
I wonder who will win in the end?”
“It should be the captain, right?” Although the Majesty’s skills were very good, Luca still thought that the winner in the end would be Captain Ozma Lee.
But when he and Killiam flew back to the base with the recovered backpack and rushed to the bridge, they found through the screen that the leading fighter plane was still the one piloted by David Glamorgan.
Ozma actually failed to catch up and overtake? This situation surprised the two.
Is the captain letting it go?
But when the two planes on the screen gradually flew away and left the “shooting distance” of Skull 2, everyone had the answer in their hearts: Ozma had tried his best, but still couldn’t catch up with the VF piloted by that person.
Who is this young man named David Glamorgan?
Captain Wilder suspected that David Glamorgan came from the GALAXY fleet, which is famous for its biochemical and human transformation technology, because the various flying movements David made when flying the fighter plane obviously exceeded the human body’s tolerance.
At this time, David, who was the first to drive the plane back to the base, was looking at Ozma with a stinky face and threw out the first bait: “Do you want to be as powerful as me?”
