"Okay." Lan Xuanyu nodded again. He was a little confused whether the rule of not displaying military rank was specifically for him. But he did understand that it was a bit unreasonable for a general to receive school-level officer training.
Shen Junkai said: "Okay, then accept the training first. After the training, the tasks will be assigned."
After saying this, Shen Junkai left. He Qingyi took Lan Xuanyu and the others to another car. The Dragon King-class frigate is over 4,500 meters long and huge in size, but it is not as wide as the mothership. It is relatively narrow and long, and more flexible.
He Qingyi invited Lan Xuanyu and the other seven people to board the shuttle bus and said, "Major General Lan Xuanyu, during the training, all trainees need to live together. For now, four people in one room. After the training is over, we will assign accommodation. Please understand."
"Yeah, I understand." Lan Xuanyu nodded. They were all new here. Military rank meant level, but here, military rank alone was probably useless. This could be seen from the attitudes of several general-level officers they had met. Most of the officers of the Seventh Fleet were somewhat dismissive of them. After all, Lan Xuanyu and his men were too young. A lieutenant colonel was fine, but he, a major general, was really at the center of controversy. So, it was useless to say anything more now. In the military, if you want to have a say, you have to rely on your strength.
The training area of Long San is in the middle of the battleship, which is a separate area. He Qingyi first assigned rooms to the seven of them, and then distributed combat uniforms and the communication codes exclusive to Long San battleships, so that they can use their soul guide communicators to enter the internal communication system of Long San Fleet. Of course, the communication can only be within the Seventh Fleet, and the satellite signal will not open long-distance communication to them.
Two days of combat uniforms, no weapons or equipment. This was all they received in Longsan.
Lan Xuanyu, Yuan Enhuihui, Qian Lei and Liu Feng shared a room, while Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin and Tang Yuge shared another. He Qingyi asked them to change out of their military uniforms and put on combat uniforms. They would gather together in an hour.
"Boss, do you think they are trying to intimidate us?" Qian Lei asked Lan Xuanyu while changing into his combat uniform.
Lan Xuanyu chuckled, "This is human nature. After all, we are outsiders and have high military ranks. It is normal for them to be reserved about us before they get to know us. Anyway, we will just do whatever they ask us to do."
Yuan Enhuihui said: "That's right. When we carry out missions in the future, they will know our strength. I don't know what the next training will be about."
Lan Xuanyu said: "We have not received formal military training. Everyone has taken this training seriously, especially the knowledge about the space fleet. We are here to learn and gain experience. Even if other trainers are repulsive to us, we should bear with it for now."
The other three nodded. This was not a college, and as latecomers, it was very necessary for them to keep a low profile.
The combat uniforms of the Seventh Fleet are also dark blue. Just as He Qingyi said, there are no military ranks on the combat uniforms. All combat uniforms are the same. They are made of special materials and have an automatic temperature control system. They can adjust the temperature by themselves and are very comfortable. There is also an automatic oxygen supply system inside the combat uniform, so they can survive for a short time even in space. These are all the crystallization of the Federation's technology.
An hour later, a sharp bell suddenly sounded, waking up everyone who was resting. They quickly walked out of the room and saw dozens of soldiers wearing combat uniforms like them walking out of their dormitories.
Although Lan Xuanyu and the others didn't know where to gather, they would naturally be able to find the gathering place by following these people.
The seven people gathered together first, then followed the others and walked quickly.
There was an open space in front of the dormitory, and the others quickly lined up in front in an orderly manner. It was obvious that this was not the first day they had come here for training.
Lan Xuanyu and seven others stood at the back. Through observation, he found that these officers who were receiving concentrated training included both men and women. Everyone had a serious expression, did not talk to each other, and their military appearance was strict.
He Qingyi and another colonel came from not far away and came to the front of the crowd. Compared with when he met Lan Xuanyu and the others before, the colonel looked more serious this time.
"Today, seven new members will join the training. As the training is about to enter the second phase, the new members must self-study the military regulations, military discipline, and officer duties of the first phase. The relevant information will be sent to your communicator. The second phase is more of a test than a training. Each of you will face a task and complete it in a dedicated simulation cabin. The completion of the task will determine your subsequent assignment. Being able to come here means that you have performed your duties well in your previous positions, but if you want to go further and take a further step, you need to make more efforts. Everyone, turn left and enter the simulation cabin."
Lan Xuanyu was listening carefully in the back. They did need to learn about military regulations and officer duties, and then they would study on their own. Is the current training more about assessment? As for assessment, they had never been afraid of it, as they had passed the graduation exam of Shrek Academy. The military assessment would not be more difficult than that.
Normally, to become a soldier in the space fleet, one needs to undergo years of training. Regular military academy training, various tests, at least five to ten years of training, and only the best can join the fleet. The space fleet is the most powerful force of the Douluo Federation, and the requirements for every soldier are very high.
Lan Xuanyu even suspected that the military regulations and discipline mentioned today were mainly aimed at them. They joined the army directly without any military training and became officers.
Of course, the fleet will not use them like normal soldiers. They will definitely be assigned to exploration teams to perform some special tasks.
There are people who join the army as Dou Tian Zhe, and this is basically how they are handled. This is called making the best use of one's talents. However, there are very few people who are born as Dou Tian Zhe and can eventually get to the point of commanding a warship in the army. Of course, in a fleet, the top strong still plays an extremely important role, and their status is no worse than that of the commander.
Like the seven major fleets of the Federation, each fleet's mothership is almost always manned by a god-level strongman. Although the power is relatively small, the status is very high. Doutianzhe generally belongs to this category.
The training that Long San arranged for Lan Xuanyu and the others this time was actually to test their strength and arrange tasks for them. This was already the green light. Under normal circumstances, when a Doutian joined the army, even if he had a certain rank, he would need to undergo a certain period of training, and it was even more impossible for him to enter a Dragon King-class battleship to perform tasks right away.
The military simulation cabins are very unique, without any fancy decorations. They look like metal coffins...
To enter the simulation cabin, you need to connect with special connectors on your wrists and ankles. There is also a special connection device on your head. It feels a bit like the spirit tower.
Since this was the first time that Lan Xuanyu and his team had come into contact with such a simulator, under He Qingyi's command, other school-level officers participating in the training taught them how to connect it.
The person in charge of teaching Lan Xuanyu was a female officer. After receiving the teaching order, she turned around and came to Lan Xuanyu.
A cold voice sounded, "Four clips are clamped on your wrists and ankles respectively. The connection is smooth and the clips will turn blue. Put on the hood, make sure your forehead, temples and the conductive patches on the hood fit together, and tighten the back. After entering, lie flat. The pain in the simulation cabin is 100%, no different from the real world. If you die, it is likely to cause a shock to your nerves, so don't treat it as an ordinary simulation cabin with low pain sensitivity."
The female officer in front of him had a neat brown ear-length hair. As she spoke, she lowered her head and picked up the corresponding items in the simulation cabin to signal Lan Xuanyu, but she didn't even look at Lan Xuanyu. Her temperament was just like her voice, with a bit of coldness. It was obvious that she was keeping people at a distance.
Lan Xuanyu stared at her intently, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked tentatively: "You are..."
The female officer raised her head, her pair of light green eyes looking coldly at Lan Xuanyu, but when her eyes met Lan Xuanyu's, she was also slightly stunned.
Lan Xuanyu's beautiful big black eyes made her feel very familiar, and the coldness in her body dissipated a little, "You..."
"Ye Lingtong?" Lan Xuanyu asked tentatively with some uncertainty, while looking her up and down.
The female officer was about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender figure, a delicate and beautiful face, and a cold temperament. She was definitely a rare beauty in the army. She looked to be about the same age as Lan Xuanyu and the others.
"Lan Xuanyu?" Ye Lingtong couldn't believe his eyes.
