Qianye felt his stomach churning violently, and the other two young people were obviously not much better than him. Just like that, half an hour after the airship lifted off, the three young men couldn't hold on any longer and vomited.
In the evening, the airship bypassed the Yellowstone Great Fjord and landed at the Red Scorpion Headquarters Base at the northern end of Qinlu. But the three little rookies are not so lucky to be able to witness the mysterious Red Scorpion headquarters in real time.
Before they got off the airship, they received their first rookie task: cleaning. They have to clean the troop compartment, and even the inside and outside of the airship, and the standard is spotless.
Only after Qianye got started did he realize that this job is not at all easier than fighting.
The vomit and dirt in the boat room is nothing more than the greasy dirt accumulated over the years on the engine room and the inner and outer walls of the airship that are really difficult to deal with. Although the three rookies were given special cleaners to clean up oil stains, they needed to change a large bucket of water every time they wiped a small area.
In this way, the three of them carried water back and forth to clean it. After one night, the 20-meter-long airship was only half cleaned.
Each area of the airship is strictly divided into three days of work. If the task is not completed, there will be no food or sleep.
So the three little rookies spent the first three days of their arrival at the Red Scorpion in hunger, fatigue and sleepiness. Later, they could no longer smell the strong smell of oil on their bodies. After finally cleaning the airship, the three of them fell asleep straight away when they returned to the dormitory. I can't take a bath, and I can't take care of eating.
During these three days, Qianye showed consistent patience and meticulousness, not letting go of every corner, even wiping off every bit of oil, cleaning and maintaining the airship's power and transmission machinery perfectly.
This is due to the maintenance of firearms he has learned, using a meticulous attitude towards weapons to maintain that big guy, the effect even the bald captain who is known for being picky is full of praise.
The other two rookies performed well in the first half of the day, but there were obvious omissions later. Seeing that Qianye was as serious as ever, they intentionally or unintentionally left the hardest and dirtiest place to Qianye. Although on the surface it seemed that the three of them did about the same amount of work, in fact Qianye alone did more than the two of them put together.
Qianye didn't care about this little gain or loss, he learned to follow the instructor's orders to the letter in the Huangquan training camp. The so-called "out-of-the-box" does not just refer to the literal meaning, but also includes the spirit of the instructor's order.
In Huang Quan's dictionary, there is no such word as opportunism.
Seeing Qianye like this, the two rookies were also happy to push the boat forward and put more work on Qianye's head. The two of them are the proud children of their respective families, and they have successfully passed the one-in-a-million selection to become the Red Scorpion. The future is boundless. Such a young man can endure the pain of bleeding and wounding, but when did he do such dirty work
When the three rookies were sleeping soundly, five people were having a meeting in a small conference room at Red Scorpion's headquarters, and there was the bald captain in it.
The bald captain quickly wrote down the scores on three forms and handed them out to the others.
After the soldiers passed it around, the form was in Wei Lishi's hands. He glanced at it, and said to the bald captain, "Although I think this should be the result, the scores are too disparate, right?"
"I rate them centimeter by centimeter! 'Scorpion Tail' is just like my child! Even a little change on it can't escape my eyes. Those two little guys want to play this kind of trick in front of me, after a while Let’s talk about it in a hundred years! This little guy Qianye is not bad, very smart, hardworking and down-to-earth, I like it!”
Seeing that the bald captain was so persistent, Wei Li nodded immediately, signed his name on the form, and said to the other three soldiers: "The test result is like this. You decide for yourself!"
"Qianye." One person said first.
The other objected immediately: "No way! Last year you were the first to pick, but this year it's our team!"
The third one said leisurely: "That's not what you said, your team used up the priority selection rights for this year last year. Are you planning to use up the right for next year as well?"
After arguing for a long time, the three of them finally divided up the three rookies. In the end, the bearded man promised a lot of personal benefits with a painful expression on his face, and only then did he succeed in getting Qianye.
The total score of the initial test is 100 points, of which Qianye alone got 65 points, and the other two got 35 points together.
Red Scorpion's points are very versatile. Rank promotion, resource allocation, and even task selection will consume these points. However, the total score given by the initial test was very high, and there were few opportunities to encounter tasks with such a high score throughout the rookie stage.
Of course, Qianye and the others didn't know this yet. Those two little fellows thought they were smart and did everything well, but as the bald captain said, no one could hide their little tricks from them. In front of those big people, playing tricks is tantamount to self-destructive career.
Early the next morning, Qianye was awakened by a violent knock on the door.
"Get up, rookie! How long are you going to sleep?!"
Qianye jumped off the bed, rushed out and opened the door. Standing at the door was an officer with a beard. He was extremely tall and tall, standing at two meters three four! The slender Qianye stood in front of him, as petite as a doll.
The bearded man sniffed vigorously, frowned and said, "Go take a shower and get rid of the smell of motor oil on your body! Have you..."
He looked at his watch before saying, "You have five full minutes! Clean yourself from top to bottom! I'll be right here waiting for you!" The officer said all in roars.
"Are you..." Qianye asked cautiously.
"My surname is Nan, and everyone calls me Nan Batian!"
Hearing another mighty and domineering name, Qianye was stunned for a second, but was immediately overwhelmed by the deafening roar that followed.
"You don't need to know your original name! From now on, you will be a member of my Tiger Scorpion Battalion. Rookie! Go take a bath, now!"
Qianye immediately gave a military salute: "Yes, sir!" Then he rushed into the bathroom like flying.
It took Qianye three minutes to wash himself off, then rushed out again, and changed into a brand new military uniform outside.
This set of military uniforms continues to use the pure black background of the Great Qin Empire's military headquarters, but the collar and placket are decorated with red lines, and at the same time, there is an additional pattern of a scorpion on the upper arm.
It was a black and red scorpion with an eye-catching scarlet tail needle. This is the red scorpion that can be seen on every continent, a small thing only the size of a palm, but one of the most poisonous creatures on land. An ordinary adult who is stung by a red scorpion will die from the poison within ten seconds.
Seeing Qianye coming out, Nan Batian turned around and left. His stride was half as long as that of ordinary people, and Qianye quickly trotted two steps to keep up.
"There are a lot of things to do today! You go with me to get the equipment first, and then I will take you to your own room. Our Tiger Scorpion Camp has its own barracks, so we don't have to live in this damn place. Then I will take you to the camp Go around a few important places in the city, and you will know where to repair guns, where to get some cheap good things, and even accept some missions privately, if it does not conflict with your combat missions. But privately The task will not come until you leave the rookie stage, so don’t even think about it now!”
At this time, Qianye had already adapted to Nan Batian's way of speaking, and kept the main points in his heart.
Soon Nan Batian took Qianye out of the temporary barracks, and walked into the official headquarters of Red Scorpion.
Stepping into the thirty-meter-high, one-and-a-half-meter-thick metal giant gate, Qianye's heart felt as if it had been hit hard, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak at the scene in front of him. Even though he had already had a bird's-eye view of Xiangyang's military industrial city, he was still overwhelmed by this huge war machine.
A thousand kilometers away, Red Scorpion's headquarters building is 600 meters high, erect like a sail, and the red paint on the outside has been rusted, revealing the metal background. But this does not affect the grandeur of the building, but adds a lot of historical dignity and precipitation to it!
Several batwing airships are rising from the top of the headquarters building, flying in different directions quickly.
In the distant sky, a giant airship slowly emerged, with airbags hundreds of meters long above it!
On the right hand side, is a huge airship base. Many airships are taking off and landing. There are small airships, medium and large airships, and even two warships over 100 meters long. On the other side of the base, seven old-fashioned airships that rely on airbags to lift off are parked in a row.
Next to the base, there are rows of tracked combat vehicles parked in rows, hundreds of them in number! And the number of trucks is too many to count.
Qianye had seen pictures and models of these basic armaments in class, and felt the unparalleled visual impact only after seeing the real thing.
On the left are large and small functional buildings, and Qianye even saw a factory that can accommodate giant airships.
The roof of the 100-meter-high workshop was arched, and it was opened to both sides at this time, revealing the mast and the upper part of the hull of a medium-sized airship. Many workers climbed on it like ants. And the steel flower flashing red flames flowed down from the huge metal surface like a glacier, obviously intense work was going on.
Farther away, there are connected energy facilities.
It is a group of buildings in the shape of perpetual towers. More than ten giant chimneys are like the legendary Kunlun giant trees that connect the sky and the ground. air mass.
Just by looking at it from a distance, one can imagine how turbulent energy should be coming along the pipeline, driving such a huge base of Red Scorpion.
Nan Batian led Qianye towards the parking lot, jumped into a small off-road vehicle with the door open, and drove towards the armament warehouse on the left. It is really not easy to do something in such a huge camp without a car.
In the hall of the armament warehouse, Nan Batian yelled directly into it: "This is a rookie from our Tiger Scorpion Battalion! Here is a set of standard equipment, plus a sniper kit!"
After a while, a large backpack and a black suitcase were thrown out of the window, and no one spoke or showed their faces during the whole process.
Nan Batian caught the things one by one, roared "Thank you!" He turned to Qianye and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Tiger Scorpion Camp!"
The Tiger Scorpion Camp is at the northeast corner of the headquarters base, next to the Blood Scorpion camp.
Just looking at the appearance of the two camps, Qianye felt that the situation of Tiger and Scorpion was not very good. Not to mention that the camp was half smaller than the Blood Scorpion, and all the vehicles parked outside the camp were half-new and half-old, completely incomparable to the brand new vehicles of the Blood Scorpion. Moreover, the tiger and scorpion camp seemed deserted, unlike the blood scorpion where people came and went.
Nan Batian scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Well... let's put it this way, I am indeed a bit behind that fellow Blood Scorpion in terms of command. So Blood Scorpion often dispatches the entire battalion to do some big business. Our tigers and scorpions don't have enough funds. Well, that's it."
