Xia Chujian has always been wary of the other eight elite pilots.
The 500 space marines may not be as capable and knowledgeable as those pilots and navigators now, but they are not really incompetent, they just didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with these things before.
Moreover, Xia Chujian had already given them four hours to train on the virtual system and another hour to rest. Now it was time to test the results.
Because Xia Chujian also believed that the best training for troops was not exercises, but real combat.
Before starting the call, Xia Chujian carefully asked Qi Lu, "If we want to perfectly blow up those ten decommissioned cruisers converted into starships without affecting other ships, how much explosives would be needed?"
After careful calculations, Qilu Mengdada told her, "Master, if each ship had 50 kilograms of high-energy plasma explosives buried in the power systems of those starships, we could perfectly destroy these ten starships converted from scrapped cruisers."
Xia Chujian nodded, immediately activated the fourth-level communication system, and said to the five captains, "There is a mission."
"Now, select two hundred elite soldiers, the most capable in mecha operation. Within two minutes, each of you must don your mechas and go to the supply warehouse to retrieve a semi-automatic submachine gun, one thousand rounds of ammunition, fifty kilograms of high-energy plasma explosives, and a Divine Punishment 0937 electromagnetic cannon. Stand by on the fifth floor."
"The remaining three hundred people, led by three captains, will all be wearing mechas. Each person will carry an assault rifle and one hundred rounds of ammunition. They must reach the third floor within two minutes."
The five captains were confused by this order.
In particular, the requirement that each person carry 50 kilograms of high-energy plasma explosives is simply unbelievable.
Because this kind of high-energy plasma explosive is usually used on the battlefield and is calculated in milligrams.
One milligram of high-energy plasma explosive can blow a space fighter into pieces.
Now the entire team consists of 200 people, each carrying 50 kilograms of high-energy plasma explosives, which is enough to fight an interstellar annihilation war!
Who are you targeting?!
But they only dared to mutter in their hearts, because Xia Chujian had already established her prestige, and they now subconsciously obeyed her orders.
"Yes, Captain! Coming right up!"
The five captains have been working together for a long time and have a good understanding of each other.
Time is running out now, and the captain's orders are calculated in minutes, so they don't waste time.
"Team 1 and Team 3, go to the fifth floor, put on your mechas, equip yourself with weapons and ammunition, and stand by. After Team 2, Team 4, and Team 5 put on their mechas, go to the third floor and listen to the captain's orders." Team 1 captain Sun Jiahao was obviously the leader of these people, and he assigned the tasks quickly.
Under his arrangement, everyone went to the fifth floor to put on their mechas again and choose their weapons.
The fifth floor is a warehouse filled with weapons, ammunition and storage materials, which requires Xia Chujian's permission to open.
She should have come down in person, but with Qilu around, she was a little lazy and asked Qilu to copy her authority to take over the automatic control system of the fifth-floor warehouse, open the door and let them get their weapons and mechas themselves.
Anyway, there are surveillance cameras there, and Xia Chujian can see the situation in the material warehouse from the captain's room.
Of course, she didn't have time to watch the surveillance camera, and Qilu was the one who "multitasked" and helped her watch.
Without Qi Lu's warning, Xia Chujian knew that these Space Marines went to the supply warehouse without any intention of "lining their own pockets" and were just following her instructions.
Teams 2, 4, and 5 quickly reached the third floor.
Xia Chujian didn't even need to leave the captain's room. He just said to everyone on the intercom: "All pilots leave the cabin. My marines will take over."
As soon as she finished speaking, the space marines in mechas pushed open the door of the cabin with a fierce look in their eyes.
"Everyone, please come out. We are taking over the side room under the captain's orders." Wang Hu, the captain of Team 2, raised his loaded gun with great momentum.
No matter how angry the driver in the cabin was, he couldn't fire at the semi-automatic submachine gun.
They looked at the fully armed space marines in mechas at the door with wooden faces.
If they were not wearing mechas, even a hundred of these marines whose genes could not evolve would not be a match for one of them.
Because these pilots are all genetically evolved, and the highest one is at the peak of Class B.
But those marines are now wearing mechas, and the mecha helmets have a certain mental defense function, which can just prevent the peak B-level mental attacks, so these drivers now have no advantage at all.
Among them, the rear driver A2 attempted to resist. He refused to leave the cab, claiming that "I am in the cab as long as I am in it." However, Wang Hu knocked him unconscious with the butt of his gun and dragged him away.
After these pilots came out reluctantly, some of them tried to make some small moves, and some genetic evolvers were even eager to try to knock off the helmets of these mecha warriors.
It was Tanaka Jin who quickly stopped them, saying, "This is the captain's order, not the Marines' own will. Are you planning to go against the captain?"
"But none of us are here, who will control the cruiser?! Are we going to rely on these Marines who know nothing?!" said the starboard pilot A1 indignantly.
Gu Zhongjin glanced at him and said, "Since the captain has given such an order, he must have a backup plan. Are you still worried about no one to pilot it? Our cruiser's mechanical intelligence is not weak."
Gu Zhongjin roughly understood why Xia Chujian did this.
Even though he had some complaints in his heart before, thinking that Xia Chujian was making a fuss out of nothing, after seeing these drivers who really disobeyed orders, he was also impressed by Xia Chujian's foresight.
Gu Zhongjin could see that among the eight pilots, only four truly admired Xia Chujian, the temporary captain.
