The entire star cruiser has a total of five floors.
The top floor is the battle deck, which is filled with various space weapons and radar systems.
The second layer is the communication layer, which is mainly responsible for communication inside and outside the cruise ship, and is mainly stationed with radar operators and communication technicians.
The third floor is where she is, which is the command level.
Under normal circumstances, battleship pilots, navigators, combat commanders at all levels, senior officers, and star fighter pilots are all on this floor.
It can be said that this is where the elite are located, no wonder it is placed in the safest middle layer.
But this time it was a special operation, and there was only her, the captain, and the eight pilots and two navigators on the third floor. There were no other commanders, senior officers, or star fighter pilots.
The fourth floor of the cruiser is the territory of the Space Marines.
They are the most basic sergeants in the Starfleet, all ordinary people, and there are no genetically evolved ones.
Because this is a search and rescue operation, the space cruiser is not fully staffed at the moment and only carries 500 space marines.
If there is a special situation in the asteroid belt that requires landing and fighting, they will be there.
The fifth floor is the belly with the largest area and the highest ceiling.
Various types of space fighters, military aircraft, interstellar airships, as well as various weapons, ammunition and supplies are stored here.
Of course, this time, in order to rescue the students, a small half of the entire fifth-level cabin was vacated to leave space for the students' more than 100 star fighters.
Xia Chu saw other things, but he stared at the fourth floor where the Star Marines were for a long time.
"They're all just ordinary people..." Xia Chujian muttered, "Aren't they just cannon fodder..."
She sat alone in the captain's room of the space cruiser, pulled out the virtual display screen, and began to carefully look through the resumes of the space marines on the fourth floor.
There were five hundred people in total, all from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
However, Xia Chujian discovered that these 500 people had actually been in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet and were then transferred here.
And judging from the time, he was transferred here four years ago.
If Xia Chujian remembered correctly, Meng Guanghui told her that four years ago, Huo Yushen was leading the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, but was betrayed by a traitor and fought against the Interstellar Fleet of the Southern Cross Principality, leaving only three people.
But how did these five hundred Space Marines survive that battle?
Xia Chujian felt a mixture of confusion and interest.
She thought about it and decided not to ask the starship pilots and navigators here, but to ask these space marines directly.
She turned off the virtual display, emerged from the captain's room, and said to a guard at the door, "I want to see the Space Marines. Can you take me to the fourth floor?"
The guard said hurriedly, "Yes, Captain! This way, please!"
He nodded to the other guard at the door, then took Xia Chujian down the corridor to the stairs.
There is an elevator and stairs leading down.
The guard asked respectfully, "Captain, would you like to take the elevator or the stairs?"
Xia Chujian said, "Just go down one floor, not take the stairs?"
The guard scratched his head, his face flushed, and whispered, "Although it's only one floor, it's quite high... There are over three hundred steps..."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
Are you showing your weakness?
This shows that the scale of the Star Cruiser is not B-sized!
Xia Chujian didn't feel embarrassed and said with a smile: "Is that so? Then let's take the elevator. Thanks for reminding me."
The guard gave her a surprised look.
I didn't expect this new female captain to be so humble...
In the past, when encountering such situations, if these sergeants acted as if they knew more than the officers, they would either be reprimanded on the spot or be given a hard time afterwards.
Few officers would take it lightly.
He just didn't expect that Xia Chujian, the "captain", was only temporary.
Moreover, she was used to being a grassroots person, and never felt that her grassroots status was shameful. She even wanted to spread the word so that some people would not have too high expectations of her...
Of course, Xia Chujian had just graduated from high school and had been a poor student for many years, so it was normal for him to not understand some things!
How could he get so angry when someone corrected him?!
If you get angry so easily, you'd better not live anymore. You'll be so angry that you'll be out of the Three Realms and out of the Five Elements.
Xia Chujian walked into the elevator nonchalantly, still in the mood to ask the guard, "...Why is the fourth floor so high?"
Seeing her easygoing nature, the guard patiently explained, "Because it's for the Marines. Marines use it more during wartime. The fourth floor is supposedly just one floor, but when it's actually used, it can be divided into sixteen floors, quadrupling the troop transport capacity."
Xia Chujian calculated silently in his mind.
The troop transport capacity is quadrupled, which is sixteen times as much. Calculated based on the height of 300 steps, that is to say, the fourth level with a height of more than 50 meters can be divided into layers with a height of more than three meters.
Wow, that’s incredible.
The operation to suppress the rebels near the city of Jialuo on Kanli Star was indeed just a small-scale action.
Xia Chujian had a preliminary idea of the scale of the interstellar war.
"There are only 500 Space Marines now, so is the fourth floor very empty?" Xia Chujian asked curiously.
The guard nodded. "Yes, because we're not actually going to fight, five people are in a cell this time. There are only a hundred barracks occupied, and most of the fourth floor is empty."
Xia Chujian said: "Actually, we don't need space marines when we go to the asteroid belt to rescue people this time."
