Looking at Zhao Zijie, who remained calm, Commander Qi nodded slightly and let out a muffled "hmm" through his nose.
"Good day, Commander Qi!"
After hurriedly finishing tidying up the last bit of clutter, Gao Yang jogged over to Zhao Zijie and greeted Commander Qi: "Commander Qi, what brings you here?"
"What? You're not welcoming me?" Perhaps in a good mood, Commander Qi revealed a somewhat sinister smile. "Then I'll have another team do this mission?"
"A mission?!" Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly shut his mouth and stood up straight.
"Reporting, sir! Trainee Captain Gao Yang is willing to accept any mission assigned by the organization!"
Zhao Zijie's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He simply straightened his posture and looked at Commander Qi in front of him with anticipation.
"Trainee Captain Zhao Zijie!" Commander Qi's expression turned serious as he shouted.
"arrive!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Zijie's loud voice rang out.
"Trainee Captain Zhao Zijie, you will be accompanying Bai Yixuan's team to Mars to oversee the construction of the Martian city!" Commander Qi said solemnly. "You have one day to prepare. Be at the assembly point promptly at 8:00 AM tomorrow!"
Upon hearing Commander Qi's words, Zhao Zijie's heart skipped a beat.
A mission has arrived!
He quickly stood up straight and gave a standard military salute.
"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"
"Commander Qi??? What about me?!" Gao Yang stared blankly at Zhao Zijie and Commander Qi in front of him, on the verge of tears. "You can't expect me to be left alone in the dormitory, can you?"
Commander Qi glanced at Gao Yang, who had a bitter face, and then a "ferocious" smile appeared on his face again. He reached out and patted Gao Yang's shoulder: "You come too, but you are Zhao Zijie's deputy."
...
The thought of getting to touch the real Luan Bird Starship the next day kept the two new recruits so excited that they didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, the two of them, sporting panda eyes, waited on the tarmac.
They need to travel to Jianmu Spaceport aboard Xuan Nu II.
As for why we didn't take the space elevator...
At this point, the space elevator is accelerating at a speed that is completely unbearable for humans, unless they enter a hibernation pod and use deep-sea fluid for assistance.
But that's clearly a bit too wasteful.
Time passed by little by little, and soon it was time for the scheduled meeting.
Zhao Zijie turned his head and glanced around.
Besides them, about fifty trainee captains were selected.
Like the two of them, the fifty-odd trainee captains also had dark circles under their eyes, clearly because they were too excited and hadn't slept all night.
Footsteps came from behind.
Zhao Zijie's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly turned around to look.
"White Team..."
Looking at the tall man walking at the front, he muttered to himself.
Upon seeing Zhao Zijie, Bai Yixuan, who was walking in front of the group, paused for a moment, then smiled and waved to Zhao Zijie.
"Zhao Zijie, we meet again!"
Standing next to Zhao Zijie, Gao Yang looked at his "familiar" roommate with a bewildered expression: "???"
"Holy crap? Zijie, you know Captain Bai?"
Zhao Zijie nodded slightly, his lips moving slightly: "We met during the entrance exam."
...
[Jianmu] Outside the spaceport.
Ten Luan Bird starships, fully loaded with supplies, were lined up in a V-shape.
At the forefront was naturally the Luan Bird Starship piloted by Bai Yixuan's team.
Unlike the other nine Luan Bird starships, the Luan Bird starship piloted by Bai Yixuan's team underwent zero modifications and was equipped with advanced quantum long-distance communication equipment.
Simply put, the main task of this starship is to maintain communication between the entire fleet and the Martian city.
Sitting in the captain's seat, Zhao Zijie gazed intently at the scenery outside the porthole.
"This is the universe..."
He muttered to himself.
The next moment, Bai Yixuan's voice came through the radio, interrupting his thoughts.
"Attention all personnel, the fleet is about to enter [Advance 4] mode."
"Immediately enter deep-sea mode. Repeat, immediately enter deep-sea mode!"
As the radio crackled to life, the holographic image on the control panel turned a warning yellow.
[WARNING: The starship will enter [Advance 4] mode in ten minutes. Crew, please immediately enter Deep Sea mode!]
Zhao Zijie's expression turned serious. He quickly stood up from his seat and followed the other drivers to the wall at the far end of the cockpit.
Inside the walls are six streamlined deep-sea cabins.
Although its structure is similar to that of a hibernation pod, it has many additional functions added to the hibernation pod, serving as the pilot's second seat.
First, this deep-sea cabin allows personnel to start it up when not in hibernation.
In addition, the deep-sea cabin has another crucial function.
Human-computer interaction.
The Deep Sea Capsule's most unique function is to allow the pilot to maintain constant control of the starship by reading their brainwaves while they are awake.
"Facial recognition complete. Hello, trainee captain Zhao Zijie."
With a mechanical electronic sound, the deep-sea hatch in the center of the wall quietly opened.
Zhao Zijie took a deep breath and stepped inside.
The hatch closed, and a harmless disinfectant was sprayed onto the surface of his tight-fitting spacesuit.
Then, he reached out and picked up something that looked like a breathing mask and put it on his face.
A tingling, itchy sensation came from my nasal cavity.
That's nanorobots building lung tubes.
Although the human body can breathe deep-sea fluid on its own when awake, it is still necessary to construct pulmonary tubes in order to reduce the body's rejection reaction to inhaled fluids.
A few minutes later, a holographic image appeared on the inner wall of the hatch in front of him.
[Lung duct construction completed]
[Brainwave reading in progress...]
As this line of text appeared, a helmet slowly descended from above the deep-sea cabin and was placed on Zhao Zijie's head.
[Brainwave reading successful, now initiating deep-sea fluid injection]
The text on the hologram changed again.
A chill ran through my feet and lungs at the same time.
Based on past experience, Zhao Zijie held his breath at this moment.
As for the reason...
Although deep-sea fluid can be breathed, the feeling of mixing it with air and then inhaling it into the lungs... he learned his lesson after trying it once.
He took a deep breath only after the deep-sea liquid had completely covered his head.
There was nothing unusual about it.
[All occupants detected entering deep-sea mode]
[Luan Bird Type I, Advance Four]
As the text in the holographic image changed, an extremely powerful, dark blue light shot out from the stern of the ten Luan Bird Starships!
Target: Mars!
