"I don't know, they didn't reveal anything." Qi Tongda shook his head.
Ding Naiqing lowered his head, "Do you think Sister Tu Ran knows that we have also come to this world?"
Zhou Ming tilted his head and said sarcastically, "Why, do you think she will come to save you?"
Ding Naiqing glared at him. Since they lived next door to each other, he could only see half of Zhou Ming's face, but that was enough: "Shut up, I'm not talking to you."
"Tsk." Zhou Ming rolled his eyes. He was too disdainful to talk to him. He returned to his bed, half leaning on the pillow, crossing his legs, and swinging them leisurely.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry since there are so many people accompanying him.
Several people were speechless for a moment, and they all returned to their beds, either sitting or lying down.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for these people.
…
The next day, Tu Ran was awakened by Tang Ying at dawn.
Tu Ran packed up simply and followed her sleepily towards the helicopter parked at the training ground.
Ye Hongci was already waiting for them in the cabin.
There were only three of them and a pilot in the car. The helicopter took off smoothly and flew towards its destination facing the rising sun.
"How did you sleep last night?" Ye Hongci put aside the pile of paper documents in his hand and looked up at Tu Ran.
"It's okay." Tu Ran yawned. It would be better if she could sleep a little longer, although she had already slept enough.
"You will have less time for sleep in the future, so you must be prepared." Ye Hongci reminded in a gentle voice.
Tu Ran nodded, "I know."
Ye Hongci didn't say anything else. He leaned back slightly, leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and rested.
The helicopter landed.
Fully equipped soldiers stood around the tarmac with weapons in hand, on high alert.
Ye Hongci jumped out of the helicopter, followed closely by Tu Ran and Tang Ying.
"Hello, Chief!" The soldiers saluted Ye Hongci in unison with loud voices.
Ye Hongci nodded slightly in response.
Tu Ran followed Ye Hongci and walked towards the special car parked not far away. On both sides of the road were soldiers with straight postures and serious faces. Their eyes followed Ye Hongci with undisguised respect and admiration in their eyes.
The golden light of the morning sun shone on Ye Hongci's figure, casting an extremely long shadow. For the first time, Tu Ran truly felt that she was a leader, a leader who could lead thousands of troops and gallop across the battlefield.
After getting in the car, they drove for more than half an hour. The car windows were closed during the journey and Tu Ran could not see the scene outside.
When I got off the bus again, a huge human-made building appeared in front of me. Against the backdrop of the endless wasteland, this steel and iron building was like a steel lion lying on the wasteland, towering and awe-inspiring.
Facing this building, all the man-made buildings Tu Ran had seen before pale in comparison. Even though she had experienced two worlds before, no building had ever given her such a shocking feeling.
Ye Hongci was invited to another place by the soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time, while Tu Ran was led by Tang Ying to select the mecha to be used on the battlefield.
In the mecha hangar, Tu Ran stood among many mechas, looking up at the towering mechas like a mountain, unable to move his eyes away.
These mechas are several times larger than those used in previous training, and are comparable to a hundred-meter-high building.
Tu Ran couldn't imagine how much mental energy a tiny human would have to consume to drive such a large mecha to fight against a monster of the same size.
"This mecha is a light mecha. It's easier to control, more flexible, and has a quick reaction speed, but its attack power is not as good as that of a heavy mecha." Tang Ying introduced Tu Ran to the pure white mecha in front of them.
Tu Ran: It turns out that such a large mecha is just a light mecha.
They walked to another larger mecha, "Heavy mecha, twice as powerful as light mecha, can tear monsters apart with bare hands, and has extremely strong defense, but lacks flexibility."
Tu Ran looked around the mechas, and Tang Ying stopped and said, "All the mechas here are of these two types. The values of each one may be slightly different, but the overall usage experience will not be much different. Do you want to choose the heavy one or the light one?" Without a doubt, Tu Ran chose the light one.
Her advantage lies in her speed. If the mecha's speed cannot match hers, it will only drag her back and reduce her combat effectiveness.
"There are two types of light mechas. One type has wings and can fly, like the red mecha your instructor is driving. It is suitable for air combat and is generally used to deal with flying monsters. The other type is the combat mecha you have used in training. It can only fight on land, but its land combat capability is stronger than that of flying mechas."
"I've never learned how to fly a mecha," Tu Ran said, "Let's choose one that's suitable for ground combat."
"Okay. Now there are several that meet your requirements." After Tang Ying finished speaking, a light curtain appeared in front of the two of them, with mechas of various colors and shapes on it for Tu Ran to choose from.
Tu Ran flipped through the pages for a few times, feeling a little dazzled. She finally returned to the pure white mecha they saw when they entered the room, pointed at it, and said, "Let's take this one."
Tang Ying only looked up and said calmly, "This mecha has great flexibility and high speed, but its defense is not good and it cannot withstand damage. It has been returned to the factory for adjustment four or five times, and the data has always been bad. Are you sure you want to choose this one?"
Tu Ran hesitated for a moment, then quickly changed to the next one, a golden mecha that looked very luxurious.
"This mecha's data in all aspects is outstanding, but it consumes 1.5 times the mental energy of other mechas."
Tu Ran: “…” I can tolerate anything except wasting my mental energy.
She changed into a purple-gold mecha that was low-key yet luxurious.
Tang Ying took a quick look and said, "This mecha has no obvious flaws."
Tu Ran was delighted, finally finding the right one: "Then this is it——"
"But it's not outstanding either," Tang Ying interrupted her. "It's mediocre. It's not as fast or as agile as the first one you picked, and not as defensive as the second one. It consumes only slightly less mental energy than the second one."
Tu Ran looked around the entire mecha hangar, "So there isn't a single mecha here that is good in every way and doesn't consume a lot of mental energy?"
Tang Ying looked up from the screen, expressionless, "No."
Tu Ran: Well, she is a poor girl but she has a lot of demands.
"Then let's go with the white one." Tu Ran still chose the first one.
There is at least one advantage.
Speed is enough, she tried her best to prevent the monster from touching the mecha.
When she has enough mental strength, she will definitely try out how much energy the golden mecha consumes.
After selecting the mecha, Tang Ying took Tu Ran to the departure point.
A large open-air teleporter.
Seen from a distance, a giant blue ring rose from the ground. The light curtain emitted by the giant ring covered the ground, with silver light flowing freely through it.
Tu Ran drove the mecha and stood outside the circle, and Tang Ying also stood outside the circle with her.
Tang Ying was driving a fiery red light mecha. Different from the stock mecha that Tu Ran selected in the mecha warehouse, Tang Ying's mecha was tailor-made based on her years of combat data. It was more in line with her own abilities, played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses, and had a more exquisite appearance.
"Which ball are we going to?" Tu Ran asked while connected to Tang Ying's mecha in the mecha cockpit.
"4344 stars."
The Harnden Galaxy does not have only six stars. The main star and five subsidiary stars have large land areas and are more suitable for human habitation, so it has become a densely populated star.
There are hundreds of small stars in the Harnden galaxy. Most of these small stars are less than one-tenth the size of the big stars. Some have harsh environments that are unsuitable for human habitation and have no value for cultivation. Even if some are inhabited by humans, the population is sparsely distributed and has a very low population density.
These small stars are randomly distributed among the big stars and are named with numbers.
The so-called front line of the battlefield is on these small stars.
The real showdown between humans and alien beasts is over the battle for these small stars.
Every time a strange beast occupies a small star, it will use the small star as a base and spread to the surrounding areas.
If the alien beasts occupy the small stars near the big stars, the next place they will reach will be the densely populated main star, and Desolate Star No. 2 and Desolate Star No. 3 fell from this.
