As the interstellar fighter dived into space, Lan Xuanyu felt as if all the pores in his body were relaxed.
His mental power merged into the fighter's control system. In his perception, the control system was like an amplifier of his thoughts, allowing him to feel the conditions in the surrounding space.
The first requirement for an interstellar fighter pilot is not soul power, or even physical strength, but mental strength.
The advancement of soul guide technology has enabled ordinary people to become mecha pilots, and even fly interstellar fighters through training. However, precisely because of technological advancement, the role of mental power has become more and more obvious. Powerful mental power is amplified through special instruments, and it plays a role in controlling any product of soul guide technology, and it can be amplified exponentially.
For example, the mental power requirement for a basic interstellar fighter pilot is fifty points, which means that one must at least reach the spiritual level of mental power to be qualified to fly a real fighter.
Why did Yin Tianfan dare to let Lan Xuanyu try to drive the interstellar fighter simulator at such a young age? It was because his mental strength was strong enough to accept it.
With over 200 points of mental strength, he has already exceeded the basic requirements for driving an interstellar fighter. After more than three years of continuous learning, Lan Xuanyu has become as familiar with interstellar fighters as his own body.
However, when he first flew a real fighter plane into space, he still felt something different.
The cold touch of each button and joystick, the more realistic feeling of mental power, and the more sensitive body's every feedback from the fighter plane are all quite different from those in the simulation cabin.
In this real fighter plane, there is no pain reduction system, everything is real. Lan Xuanyu feels that his adaptation and sense of everything have become more acute, and the fighter plane seems to have become more flexible.
Therefore, when his thoughts extended and sensed the battlefield in the distance, due to distraction, the driving of the fighter plane suddenly became unstable and shook slightly.
At this time, the two sides had already fought on the battlefield. Twenty mechas that emerged from the five pirate warships had already faced twelve mechas head-on. For a moment, artillery fire flew in space, and the two sides were entangled in a fight.
It must be said that Tang Le's bodyguards were quite capable. Not only were the eight of them strong individually, but they also worked well together, not inferior to the experienced pirates on the other side. But the level of the four security guards was much worse. From time to time, the armor shields emitted light marks caused by being hit. In a situation where they were outnumbered, it was only a matter of time before they were completely defeated.
What's more, there were five pirate warships providing fire suppression.
As soon as the interstellar fighter piloted by Lan Xuanyu left the cabin, it was immediately noticed by the pirates. They sent out four mechas and immediately headed towards him.
On land, interstellar fighters are not as useful as mechas, but in space, interstellar fighters with faster speeds and stronger firepower are obviously more powerful, so allocating four mechas to deal with the situation is obviously for the sake of safety.
After being startled by his own abnormality, Lan Xuanyu quickly regained control of his combat skills. The four mechas were already coming towards him aggressively.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Xuanyu had simulated the starry sky battle countless times. He repeatedly told himself to stay calm and forget that this was a real war. Instead, he should treat everything in front of him as a drill in a simulation cabin.
With the rhythmic movement of his hands, he controlled the interstellar fighter to make a sudden and gentle turn, draw a small arc, and then turn around and run away.
Yin Tianfan once said that if an interstellar fighter faces a mecha, then the first thing it must do is to play to its advantage, which is speed.
Therefore, before the speed of the interstellar fighter is fully increased, it will never collide head-on. Once the speed reaches a certain level, the mecha will only be beaten.
This of course refers to the case of mechas and fighters of the same level, but it also shows how confident Yin Tianfan is in interstellar fighters.
Lan Xuanyu had just entered space and naturally had not yet reached the optimal speed. Turning around and leaving at this time was to better increase his speed.
With a lateral tailspin, the interstellar fighter turned around instantly, and a powerful impact force acted on the cabin. Although most of it was absorbed by the balancing device, some of the impact still fell on Lan Xuanyu.
But Lan Xuanyu didn't feel anything at all and instantly pushed the thruster lever to the head.
The tail flame spewed out, emitting a blazing light, and the interstellar shuttle accelerated instantly, shooting out almost like a catapulting missile, flying into the distant space.
The force generated by this U-turn and acceleration was far beyond what an ordinary person could bear. The strong push on Lan Xuanyu's back pressed him firmly on his seat, but his emotions had completely stabilized at this time. He stared at the front with burning eyes, and his mind extended to feel every subtle change of the interstellar fighter.
He was towing four mechas here, and on the other side of the battlefield, the pressure on the mechas belonging to the civilian spacecraft was reduced a little. However, the five pirate spacecraft did not care about the main battlefield at all, but slightly bypassed it, aimed directly at the spacecraft, and continued to bombard it.
More than ten seconds later, Lan Xuanyu's interstellar fighter finally reached its maximum speed. He controlled the fighter to make a large arc in the air and flew back in the direction it came from.
In order to prevent the spaceship from being destroyed, he had to lead the pirate warship forward. Otherwise, without the spaceship, the interstellar fighter would be rootless and it would be impossible to fly in the universe for a long time. What's more, his parents were still on the spaceship!
The four mechas were originally chasing closely behind, and when they saw Lan Xuanyu flying back, the four mechas accelerated and rushed towards the interstellar fighter piloted by Lan Xuanyu from four directions. They all had heavy soul guide cannons specially used in space battles.
Beams of light shot straight towards the interstellar fighter.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath. He knew that the time had come to test himself. The winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit.
Facing the attack, he did not slow down at all, and just kept flying at the highest speed. Yin Tianfan said that any fighter pilot who needs to slow down to avoid the opponent's attack is unqualified. An interstellar fighter without speed is nothing at all.
Seeing the enemy's attack coming, Lan Xuanyu's hands suddenly moved rhythmically like a butterfly flying through flowers, completing a series of complex operations.
Interstellar fighters also have protective shields, but once a starfighter is hit, its speed will inevitably be affected.
The four mechas on the opposite side instantly made a series of evasive moves that made them dizzy.
Without slowing down at all, the starfighter suddenly flipped 90 degrees, with one wing up and one wing down. The two beams of light attacking it missed.
This is a high-speed vertical flip, textbook simplicity. The key is that there is no deceleration and no deviation from the original route.
Then the interstellar fighter suddenly rolled to the left and avoided the two light beams again. This was a full-speed single-direction roll. Anyone can roll, but it is not easy to roll so smoothly and perfectly without deviating from the route.
What shocked them even more was that after one roll, the fighter plane did not continue to roll in that direction, but rolled in the opposite direction.
Completely controlling the fighter's rolling inertia and completing the reverse roll is not easy to do! Not to mention flying at full speed, even flying at low speed is extremely difficult to complete such a move without any flaws.
But Lan Xuanyu completed it in a split second, and this series of evasive actions also allowed him to avoid all attacks. The interstellar fighter had already reached a place close to the four mechas.
