"bite!"
In a noodle shop, the four men clinked their glasses together.
"This battle was a great success. Don't be complacent, and keep up the good work in the future."
Wang Zhuoxi smiled smugly at the corners of his mouth and laughed at the other three.
"Haha, Captain, don't be so official! We won a great victory this time! Now the government will definitely give us more funding, and maybe with a little more effort we can forge even better equipment!"
Zhao Kuangyi laughed heartily, downed the beer in his glass in one gulp, and then generously refilled it.
"Equipment can't be made just because you want to. The current equipment is sufficient. Instead of thinking about that, we should recruit more capable people."
Su Lingling frowned slightly.
She doesn't want the members of Morning Bell and Evening Drum to focus too much on superior equipment and neglect the crucial role of talent.
Every individual possesses exceptional abilities in one or more areas.
Nowadays, although humanity's shortcomings in equipment are still obvious, they are not that important.
More importantly, and obviously, is humanity itself.
The Tengshe must be driven by a person.
The three Peregrine aircraft also require human pilots.
In that case, the original number of combat personnel would not be enough.
This is based on the premise that the equipment will always follow this pattern.
Therefore, Su Lingling believes that the current Morning Bell and Evening Drum must recruit enough personnel.
At the very least, some form of substitutes is needed.
"Talented?"
Jiang Yexi narrowed her eyes.
In fact, Jiang Yexi is a very nostalgic person.
She didn't actually want anyone to come and chant morning and evening prayers anymore.
Because no matter who came, she always had the illusion that they had replaced Tu Xiaohei.
Of course, Jiang Yexi knew that this was just her own illusion, but her heart said so, and it was clear that it would not change.
"The younger generation has not been fully cultivated yet. The first invasion by Jetton wiped out all of China's elites. The talents of the new era are too inexperienced; they simply do not have the mindset to understand the importance of enlightenment."
Yes, what Wang Zhuoxi values is not the members' academic qualifications or outstanding achievements in any particular area.
It is the mindset of the members.
Here, "mental state" refers to the negative effects that occur during combat.
Wang Zhuoxi valued Tu Xiaohei back then and wanted to recruit him because of this.
At that time, Tu Xiaohei was determined to die, and he had almost no ties to anyone.
Every battle was fought with the attitude of "if I die, I die".
To be honest, this kind of personality is exactly what frontline combat organizations like Morning Bell and Evening Drum need most.
However, in peacetime, the number of such people is extremely small.
Of course, while Jiang Yexi and Su Lingling are not as extreme as Tu Xiaohei, they would not be cowardly if a fight really broke out.
Zhao Kuangyi was not actually recruited by Wang Zhuoxi.
Those were civilian staff members airlifted from above.
However, since he was just an office worker, Wang Zhuoxi didn't push him too hard.
"We don't have enough people... Hopefully, the monster can delay us a little longer."
Su Lingling sighed helplessly.
She is well aware of the current situation.
Although Morning Bell and Evening Drum have achieved two good victories in battle, human technology itself is quite weak.
Furthermore, humanity's talent pool was once snatched away by Jetton.
This resulted in only Wang Zhuoxi surviving from the previous generation of combat elites.
Otherwise, how could the morning bell and evening drum have ended up in such a state?
"Su Lingling, don't worry so much. Monsters are just paper tigers; they're weak when you're strong and strong when you're weak. As long as we don't boost the morale of others and diminish the prestige of our own people, there will be absolutely no problem!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yexi hugged Su Lingling tightly and said with a smile.
This is necessary encouragement; constant criticism will not benefit a small team at all.
"That's true, maybe I'm overthinking it?"
Su Lingling chuckled and accepted Jiang Yexi's offer of a way out, then stepped down.
However, the worry in Su Lingling's eyes did not dissipate much.
"Speaking of which, how did you feel after piloting the Peregrine in its high-octane mode?"
Suddenly, Zhao Kuangyi spoke up and asked.
What's it like to drive the Peregrine in Passion Mode?
Su Lingling was stunned, clearly not expecting Zhao Kuangyi to ask such a question.
"The physical burden was enormous; the pressure from the Peregrine was many times greater than I had anticipated."
Jiang Yexi answered Zhao Kuangyi's question.
Her expression was very serious.
Because these are Jiang Yexi's true feelings.
This also reflects the importance attached to the Peregrine.
It's quite rare that this seemingly unremarkable weapon could put so much pressure on her, a highly trained individual.
"As for me, I think I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable, right?"
Wang Zhuoxi scratched his head and added with a laugh.
"Of course, it's also possible that it's because I haven't exercised for too long, and my body might have become rusty?"
Of course, whether this was Wang Zhuoxi's true statement or a joke he made on a whim remains unknown.
After the two of them spoke, Su Lingling did not say anything.
Because the feeling of piloting the Peregrine is actually quite subtle.
Unlike Jiang Yexi and Wang Zhuoxi, Su Lingling's personality was different. She needed some time to sort out her thoughts and figure out how to explain things in a way that Zhao Kuangyi could understand.
"It feels like our physical abilities simply haven't been able to unleash the full potential of the Peregrine. We've always been driving it in the most primitive and brutal way."
Su Lingling's words were much simpler than those of Wang Zhuoxi and Jiang Yexi.
However, the meaning it represents is far more than expected.
"I see..."
Zhao Kuangyi nodded slightly.
"Speaking of which, why are you asking this? Have the higher-ups ordered you to go to the front lines to fight as well?"
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yexi would be the one to say such a thing.
However, this time it was different.
It was not Jiang Yexi who said these words, but Wang Zhuoxi.
"No, it's just that the higher-ups asked me to ask about the piloting experience of your Peregrine Falcon. I don't know what they're going to do with the data."
Zhao Kuangyi shrugged.
He didn't really understand what the people above were thinking.
However, it's up to the people above to do the work, and he, the person below, just needs to complete it.
