Tao Pao didn't buy it, and just said angrily: "Why does Xia Chujian have to be in such a difficult situation?!"
"Did she fabricate her military exploits?"
"Did she desert?"
"Did she backstab her comrades?!"
“None at all!”
"On the contrary, she fought with honor! She bravely advanced! She rescued all her comrades!"
"So, why suppress her military exploits?!"
"The military and the emperor are not doing anything, and they still think they have the right?!"
"Qiu Zijun is indeed very brave to bring this matter up openly."
"But who now remembers the exploits of the first encounter, which were suppressed?"
"Everyone is standing up for Qiu Zijun now!"
Chen Yanjun sighed and said, "...There's nothing we can do about it. Online public opinion is like that. There's always a new hot topic that overshadows the old ones."
"So, if we want to help the squad leader, we can't always rely on online public opinion."
“We have to do something tangible.”
"For example, last time, we fought for the class monitor's student status back!"
"This time, we want to do something truly meaningful."
Chen Yanjun's words made sense, so Tao Pao stopped refuting.
She was thinking, because Chen Yanjun really hit the nail on the head.
Online public opinion is indeed effective, but if you rely solely on it, it will eventually backfire and be exploited by others.
So, how can they help Xia Chujian?
There was a heated debate online, with people sympathizing with Xia Chujian and Qiu Zijun, with one hot topic overshadowing the next.
Xia Chujian was mentally prepared for this.
She was indeed quite annoyed that she had only been awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
But I don't mean to make trouble directly.
She knew that in order to move up in this system, she still needed to abide by certain rules.
She has pushed for changes to the unfair rules.
The rest depends on your own actions to gain corresponding military merits and ranks.
For the first time, these people suppressed her military achievements.
However, she would not give them a second chance.
Besides, Xia Chujian is very busy now and has no time to continue paying attention to the ups and downs on the Internet.
Lieutenant Colonel Li of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet had successfully sold off all of her remaining medium-sized Zerg corpses. Not only had he set up a special fund for her to manage, he had also given her an additional double amount of anti-aircraft weapons and guns and ammunition, enough to equip one hundred asteroids.
Because Xia Chujian is now the squadron leader, according to the organization of the Star Marines, she has to command one hundred teams.
If each team garrisons an asteroid, there are a total of one hundred asteroids under her jurisdiction.
At present, in addition to the fifty asteroids that were attacked by the Black Mantis Clan, another fifty asteroids have also become under her jurisdiction.
She already has a hundred teams under her command, a total of one thousand people.
She had just gathered these people together and held a swearing-in ceremony.
Then she applied for funds from Lieutenant Colonel Li to send the more than 900 conventional mechas to Beichen Star and asked Su Buyan's mecha studio to help her reinforce them.
She told Su Buyan her idea for reinforcement, which was to use the shells of low-level Zerg nest builders as materials and apply them to the fuselage of conventional mechas.
Su Buyan has also gained a lot of experience in studying the bodies of low-level Zerg nest builders.
It is very easy to use this material for defense.
But it is not easy to develop other uses for it.
For example, he wanted to use this material to develop a bulletproof vest, but he has not been successful so far.
Because the new type of bulletproof vest he required should be as light and close-fitting as nano-level bulletproof vests, and should not cause additional burden on the body.
So he began his experiment by crushing the shell and drawing it into threads.
If the silk thread is pulled into a thin layer like silk, it can be used to weave cloth to make bulletproof vests.
As a result, it failed in the wire drawing process.
After the shell of the low-level Zerg nest builder was crushed, the silk pulled out had no toughness at all and crumbled into powder with the slightest touch!
This is more troublesome than breaking it!
However, if it is added to the mecha shell, it is relatively easy.
But it is only relatively easy, because Su Buyan can only use the most primitive method at present.
It is to split the shell of the low-level Zerg nest builder into small one-centimeter square pieces, and then stick them on the outside of the conventional mecha.
Doing so can indeed greatly increase the defensive effect of conventional mecha.
However, in this case, these conventional mechas cannot be switched into star fighters.
