[Kang Shanxing]: That’s no problem. Your subordinate is quite capable, so it shouldn’t be too troublesome.
[Meng Guanghui]: Good deeds, give you two seconds to rethink the definition of "trouble".
【Kang Shanxing】:…….
[Meng Guanghui]: Actually, I've already asked Marshal Huo to take care of it. But Marshal Huo is so busy, and if he has something urgent to do, like being summoned by the Emperor, I hope you can help pass on a message!
Kang Shanxing: That's no problem. Although Xia Chujian is your direct subordinate, he's also a member of the Special Security Bureau. It's reasonable and proper for me to take care of him.
Meng Guanghui: Thank you very much. This is Xia Chujian's smart bracelet number. She'll be at the flight base for two months, and I need your help looking after her. By the time she returns, she'll be going to college, so everything should be fine.
[Kang Shanxing]: Oh, just two months, that’s okay.
[Meng Guanghui]: Because of the confidentiality of this mission, I've also given my quantum optical computer to Huo Shuai. If Xia Chujian contacts me directly, Huo Shuai will know. You, too, should add Xia Chujian as a friend. If she truly has a life-threatening emergency and can't reach me or Huo Shuai, she'll probably contact you.
[Kang Shanxing]: ...No problem.
He received the smart bracelet number forwarded by Meng Guanghui and casually sent a friend request with his own name as the remark: Kang Shanxing.
Meng Guanghui now had nothing to worry about, so he sent a message to the elite team he had assembled, set off overnight, and left Beichen Star.
…
It was only Sunday afternoon here when Xia Chujian came. She had just returned from Posa City in the southern hemisphere of Kanli Star and still needed to continue her classes.
Now I have finally started learning about star fighters.
In the classroom, it was still the female instructor Yang Ling who was giving the lecture.
On the podium, three-dimensional holographic images of star fighters were displayed in front of them one by one.
Yang Ling said, "As you can see, there are four major types of star fighters, but our base only provides training in three types: the Thunder, Aurora, and Ghost."
"From low to high difficulty, the Thunder class is the lowest level, and the Ghost class is the advanced star fighter."
Xia Chujian is the chief pilot of the Ghost-class star fighter.
Her three roommates were flying entry-level Thunder-class star fighters.
When Mao Yonggui and the others saw the ID cards on the dormitory doors at the beginning of the school year, they were quite curious.
After all, Xia Chujian is the youngest, but he can fly a high-level ghost fighter among the star fighters.
But after a week of study, and witnessing Xia Chujian's flying speed in defeating ground fighters and her ability in dogfights, they calmed down.
He was already convinced of Xia Chujian's identity as the chief pilot of the Ghost-class fighter.
Yang Ling said at the podium: "Compared to ground fighters, the star fighters have seen exponential improvements in both technical specifications and combat firepower. Even the most basic star fighters are countless times more powerful than the most advanced ground fighters."
"Because the harsh environment faced in space combat is completely incomparable to the environment inside a planet."
Yang Ling began to explain the technical indicators of the Star Fighter.
"Look, this is the Thunder Star Fighter. This entry-level star fighter has some features common to all star fighters."
"For example, all the engines are ultra-micro controlled nuclear fusion engines, because only this kind of power can provide continuous endurance in various space or atmospheric environments and will not fail during combat."
"Also, during interstellar battles, space fighters are often the vanguard, ready to land on desolate planets with harsh natural environments. Therefore, they must have the technical capabilities to fight both in space and under the skies of planets with different gravity levels."
"The weapons carried by the Star Fighter are similar to those of the ground fighter, but also different."
"Similarly, the Star Fighter will also be equipped with weapon systems used by ground fighters, such as conventional missiles, smart machine guns, bunker-buster bombs, and so on."
"But these weapons alone are not enough."
"Because the natural environment faced by the Star Fighter is ever-changing. For example, in space, where there is no air at all, conventional weapons that require oxygen for combustion will not be effective."
"Even if it were a nuclear weapon, exploding in space, because there's no atmosphere, it wouldn't produce a huge flame or shock wave. Instead, it would release a massive neutron and gamma ray burst, generating an extremely strong electromagnetic pulse that could disrupt an enemy's starship communications system."
"Nuclear weapons have a certain power in space, but compared to the power of a nuclear weapon detonated in the atmosphere, it is completely different."
"Also, the vast distances in space cannot be compared to the ground environments of any planet. No matter how big a planet is, it is not as vast as the starry sky."
"So, laser weapons are only effective in close combat in space. If the distance to an enemy interstellar battleship exceeds several light years, even the most advanced laser weapons will be ineffective."
"Why? Because the power of a laser weapon is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In other words, the farther the distance, the lower the power."
"At distances of several light years, it's no different than scratching an itch. So in interstellar battles measured in light years, laser weapons have become obsolete and obsolete production capacity."
"That's why the Star Fighter needs to carry two weapon systems at the same time."
"One suitable for ground warfare is a weapon system similar to ground fighters."
"The other type is weapon systems suitable for space combat, such as quantum clutch bombs, pulse cannons, ion beam cannons, electromagnetic railguns, and gravity weapons, etc."
