Hector carried the two cubs directly to the hangar on the lower floor.
"You pick one."
Fighters and bombers of various types were parked in an orderly manner. The two cubs were dazzled by the sight and finally picked out a black X-wing fighter.
Hector lowered the protective shield, carried the two cubs into the fighter, fastened their seat belts for them, and said, "Are you ready? We are going out."
The two little cubs squeezed into the passenger seat and nodded excitedly.
The hangar door slowly rose, and the fighter jet started up, driving into the dark space.
The universe is vast, and the fighter jets, which are so huge for the little guys, are just a drop in the ocean. Looking out of the window, all you can see are blurry lights and shadows.
The operation of a fighter jet is much simpler than that of a battleship. Hector first explained the functions of various buttons and driving skills to the two cubs, and then demonstrated the basic operations one by one: "Do you remember?"
The two cubs nodded vigorously.
Hector was slightly satisfied, and then he led them back to the hangar.
When they got off the fighter plane, the two cubs were slightly disappointed: "Is that the end?"
"This is just the beginning." Hector said, "Who will go first?"
The cubs looked at him blankly, and suddenly they understood what was going on.
Hector leaned against the fighter, patted the fuselage of the fighter, raised his eyebrows and asked: "I have just told you the key points of flying a fighter. Don't you want to try it yourself? You can't learn it just by watching."
For the dragon race, theory is a waste of time. The fastest way to learn something is to just try it out.
Just rush in and it's done.
As long as you are here, nothing will go wrong.
Nota was the first to raise his hand: “I’ll go!”
"You go first." Hector sat down in the co-pilot seat and looked at the waiting dragon cub: "You can't fly a fighter plane in your current state. Remember to change back to human form."
The little dragon stood there, swaying its tail back and forth hesitantly.
If it changes back... Notaken will know.
But seeing the fighter jet leaving the hangar again, he was eager to try.
The little dragon clenched his claws and transformed into a human form. At worst... At worst, I could ask Nota to keep it a secret.
"Next, follow what I say, step by step, and don't panic." The fighter jet drove out of the hangar and Hector ended the autopilot mode.
The little fox nodded, grasped the joystick with both hands and pulled, and the whole fighter plane rushed forward suddenly.
The fighter plane was extremely fast, and her body suddenly leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair due to the weight. When she was about to hit a meteorite, Hector said, "Don't be nervous, go left."
The little fox pulled the joystick to the left as instructed, and the fighter suddenly turned left before hitting the meteorite and rushed out again at sub-light speed.
The black X-wing fighter, like a black bird with a good sense of direction, rushed and flipped wantonly in the dark space.
The little fox used up all his strength to steady himself, but Hector, who was in the co-pilot seat, remained seated steadily, his posture calm: "It's still too hasty. The reaction speed is good, but you have to learn to control the rhythm and make predictions in advance. You are the one controlling it, not letting it control you."
Glancing at the unhurried man from the corner of his eye, the little fox bit his lip, and the big tail on his body stood up nervously. He loosened his hands that were tightly gripping the joystick a little, and took a deep breath, trying to control the rhythm by himself as he said.
After countless 360-degree or even 720-degree flips and sharp turns, the fighter plane finally stabilized. The little fox's ears, which were tightly stretched forward, relaxed a little and he quietly wiped the sweat from his palms.
"The progress is not bad. We can go back now and let Heri take over." Hector nodded with satisfaction and stretched out two fingers to gesture: "It's only a little bit worse than when I was a kid."
The little fox took a look and wagged its big tail, which was standing erect nervously, happily.
The fighter jet drove into the hangar again and the protective cover fell. The little fox jumped down excitedly, eager to share his feelings with Hurry. However, he did not see Hurry, but only a strange boy.
The other person was much more attractive than her, with wheat-colored skin and a pair of golden eyes like Harry's.
She looked up at the other person, her silver eyes narrowed, and she took an attacking posture: "Who are you? Where is Heli?"
He Li, who had transformed into a human form, stared at her with pursed lips, his hands awkwardly behind his back, unable to speak.
Hector, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of interest: "When Heri turned into a human, you couldn't recognize him?" He pulled the little fox's ear and said, "The nose is not very good."
Dodging the father's hand, the little fox hesitated and walked forward, sniffing. It was indeed the smell of Harry.
She slowly widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "How did you grow up secretly?!!!"
He was obviously so much shorter than her before!
The little fox was angry.
Now, except for Snowball, she is the shortest person in the family!
Heri, who was a little nervous at first, immediately became interested after hearing her say that. From this point of view, growing up is not a bad thing, at least now he looks like Nota's brother!
He grinned, walked up to Nota, raised his hand to gesture their bodies, and said, "You're only at my thigh now."
ah!!!!!
The little fox was so angry that his fur exploded. He ran to the steps, swishing his tail, and stood there with his hands on his hips, saying, "Just wait, I'll soon be taller than you!"
"Okay, continue training." Hector clapped his hands, interrupting the cubs' childish quarrel and motioning for Harry to enter the cockpit.
Heri made a face at Nota before entering the cockpit.
While the two cubs were learning how to fly a fighter jet, the little mermaid was also receiving training from Rong Heng in the cockpit of the flagship.
The main battleship has many functional modules, and the control is more complicated and delicate. It is not like a fighter jet, where you can just rush in. In order to control the main battleship, the little mermaid must first memorize all the functional divisions and modules of the main battleship, and know how to mobilize and coordinate them, so as to give full play to the main battleship's greatest advantages.
Controlling the flagship depends on strategy.
The little mermaid sat in the cart, looking at the cockpit curiously. Everything here made her feel strange.
"Have you recognized all the characters?" Rong Heng came over holding a thick stack of books.
The little mermaid nodded.
"Just finish reading these first." Rong Heng placed a pile of books in front of the little mermaid: "If you read all these books, you will know half of it."
The little mermaid nodded ignorantly, looked at the thick pile of books in front of her, pursed her lips, and obediently held the book and started reading.
Rong Heng was slightly satisfied seeing how obedient he was.
Finally there is someone willing to learn.
Two days passed in a flash, and the cubs' training life had just begun when it was temporarily stopped.
—In the early morning of the third day after arriving at the jump channel of Balem Star, five transport ships arrived as scheduled.
Rong Heng brought the little mermaid into the combat command room and let watch from the side.
The little dragon and the little fox followed Hector into the fighter plane and prepared for battle.
The main battleship activated the jamming equipment and cut off the communication; forty fighter jets activated their cloaking devices and ambushed near the jump exit.
The giant transport ship slowly sailed out of the jump channel.
One, two, three, four, five.
After all transport ships had left the jump channel, Rong Heng issued an order: "Gunboats, block the jump exit, open fire!"
A gunboat quickly blocked the exit of the jump channel, and five gun turrets were raised, with their muzzles aimed at the transport ship; at the same time, forty fighter planes rushed towards the five transport ships and launched a fierce attack with full firepower.
The transport ship was attacked unexpectedly and was in a panic for a moment before calming down.
The laser cannons and ion cannons on the ship were raised one after another, ready to attack.
"This is a heavy turbolaser cannon. It takes 1 second to charge its energy, which is 0.3 seconds longer than that of a light laser cannon. But once it charges and fires, it only takes 0.08 seconds to hit the target." Hector drove a fighter jet and deliberately made a provocative gesture towards the transport ship.
The transport ship's slowly rising gun barrel was locked as expected, and a light flickered at the muzzle.
"So the reaction must be fast." Before he finished speaking, he pulled the joystick sharply and made a beautiful side move. The laser cannon that missed the target exploded on their transport ship.
"See, that's it. There's an old saying, 'Use your own spear to attack your own shield'. As long as we grasp the time difference, we can let them fight each other." Hector snapped his fingers, approached another transport ship, and continued to provoke.
Follow the same method and trick the two transport ships into firing at each other.
After several times, the transport ship finally reacted and dared not fire at will.
Although there was a protective shield on the ship, no matter how strong it was, it could not withstand the fierce attack of its own artillery fire.
The enemy's fire was contained, and the fighter planes' fire suddenly became more intense.
After finding that their communications had also been cut off, the transport ships decided not to sit still and wait for death, and tried to break out by force. The five transport ships seemed to have discussed something and evacuated in different directions.
"They want to run away." Hector's voice came from the communication channel.
"Got it. The gunboat cooperates with me and blasts us back." Rong Heng quickly turned the direction of the turret and locked the target: "Fire."
The first two transport ships to evacuate were forced back by the fierce fire from the battleship and gunboat. The other three transport ships saw that the fire was concentrated on the other two ships and wanted to take the opportunity to evacuate. However, they did not expect that the fighter planes roaming around formed a defense line and blocked the retreat. In this delay of ten seconds, Rong Heng changed the target again and locked the remaining three transport ships with his guns. At the same time as he issued the evacuation order, the battleship and gunboat opened fire.
The evacuating fighter jets tacitly blockaded the two transport ships that had just been forced to retreat.
The battleship, gunboat, and fighter jets worked in perfect harmony and successfully forced the five transport ships back into the blockade.
A communication request came from the other party in the communication channel. Rong Heng rejected the call and said to the little mermaid who was staring at him intently, "The captain of a battleship should not only be able to fly the battleship, but also be good at using it. Do you understand?" He tapped his temple with his finger.
The little mermaid looked up at , her blue eyes shining, and she nodded heavily.
This battle lasted for a day and a night.
Rong Heng spared no effort and continued to launch fierce attacks.
The transport ship's firepower was restrained, and it could only stay where it was and take the beating. Sometimes it couldn't hold back and opened fire, but each time it missed and hit its own people. After repeating this several times, they finally lost fire and could only send out surrender signals repeatedly, trying to communicate with the main battleship.
Rong Heng refused all of them, and then ordered the gunboat to attack the transport ship with the weakest protective shield.
The shaky protective shield was finally breached. Rong Heng narrowed his eyes and tapped the console with his fingers: "Hector, prepare to land and seize control of the transport ship."
"receive."
Hector drove a fighter jet close to a transport ship that had lost its shield protection, blasted open the opponent's hangar door with a twin laser cannon, and forced a landing in the opponent's hangar.
Several fighter jets followed closely behind.
The noise in the hangar attracted the guards on the transport ship. Teams of armed guards hurried over. Hector turned around and told the two kids to stay in the fighter, picked up two laser guns, and jumped out of the cockpit.
Fierce beeps rang out in the hangar, and the two cubs observed the situation outside through the monitor.
On the screen, Hector was sweeping across the area with a laser gun, invincible.
There were not many guards on the transport ship.
Most of the time, these transport ships traveled in groups, relying on their sufficient firepower and not being afraid of interstellar pirates, but they never expected that they would run into a tough opponent this time.
Hector led his men across the field and rushed directly into the cockpit.
The pilot raised his hands above his head and handed over the controls.
"Tie them all up, and search their weapons and communication equipment." Signaling others to tie up all the surrendered people, Hector took over the transport ship, entered the operations room, and began to cooperate with Rong Heng's actions.
The gunfire from their teammates made the other four transport ships panic, and soon two of the transport ships could not help but open fire, but accidentally shattered the protective shields of their teammates.
The transport ships were lost one after another. By the time all five transport ships fell into Rong Heng's hands, time had already advanced by one night.
"Leave one transport ship to transfer the hostages, and take all the other transport ships away."
Everyone cheered, leaving behind a transport ship that had been bombed beyond recognition and had its navigation and communication devices removed. After transferring all the production equipment in the transport ship, they threw all the remaining prisoners over.
The broken transport ship drifted aimlessly in the interstellar space. If these people were lucky enough, they might be found by the search team from Balem soon; but if they were not lucky enough, it would be impossible for them to drift in the interstellar space for a month.
With no navigation system and communication equipment, but insufficient fuel, these people were trapped on the transport ship and drifted.
By the time they were found, Rong Heng would have already finished the finishing work and would not leave any clues.
"Return." Rong Heng turned the battleship and headed towards the direction of star B3024. Behind him, four transport ships with a lot of harvest followed in formation.
The little mermaid followed beside him, her face full of longing.
On the eighth night after the cubs left home, Ruan Shiqing received a text message from Mr. Rong, informing them that their mission had been completed and they would be returning soon.
Then I received several text messages one after another. Judging from the tone of their voice, they were all sent by the cubs.
[Dad, I learned how to fly a fighter jet!]
[I learned it too!]
↑This must be from Nota and Heri.
Ruan Shiqing understood for a moment, and then became a little worried. How come they were flying fighter jets just after the training
He looked hesitant, but the kids' tone was full of excitement, so he didn't question it.
[Great, stay safe.]
The message from the little mermaid was completely different from that from Helinota. She sent two photos: [Dad, I read a lot of books!]
In the photo, the little mermaid is reading at a desk, with a pile of thick books beside her.
Ruan Shiqing enlarged the picture and found that the book at the top was titled "History of Military Wars of the Galactic Empire".
I looked at the title of the book in confusion. Could the little mermaid really understand such a book
[Is the book too profound? Can I understand it?]
[There were some things I didn’t understand, but Mr. Rong explained them to me.]
The little mermaid looked back at Rong Heng and pursed her lips slightly.
After arriving from Balem, the little mermaid had one more person to worship.
The first one is Dad, and the second one is Snowball.
The kids huddled together, heads touching each other, and took turns chatting with their dad using Rong Heng's smart computer.
When Dad asked why Snowball was not there, the little mermaid looked at Heli and Nota and quickly gave an answer: [Snowball went to practice alone.]
Ruan Shiqing didn't suspect anything and chatted with the cubs for a while. He put down the intelligent computer and turned around, and saw the cubs sitting on the bed, staring at the intelligent computer.
"This is an intelligent computer." Ruan Shiqing put the intelligent computer into his hand and let him take a good look at it.
Seeing the cubs staring at the intelligent computer with their heads down, I suddenly remembered that I had been so busy chatting with the cubs that I forgot to tell them that there was a new friend at home.
Forget it, it’s the same thing when I get back.
After all, we have already returned, so we should be back in a few days.
The artificial moon outside the window slowly rose to mid-sky. The two moons reflected each other. The cold light penetrated the clouds and cast mottled shadows on the ground.
At midnight, some people have fallen asleep, but others are still wandering around awake.
The place where light and darkness intersect and dark shadows surge is a hotbed of crime and death.
In the bedroom, Ruan Shiqing was sleeping soundly, but the cub, who had been lying beside him, suddenly opened his eyes, and the tentacles on his forehead moved rapidly, as if he had sensed something.
He climbed out of the bed, stood on tiptoe and looked out of the bedroom window.
But the moonlight was dim, and nothing could be seen in the pitch-black night. Only the faint smell of something made him feel the danger.
The thin tentacles on the forehead moved regularly, quickly and hastily. In the dark red eyes, the black pupils shrank, and finally only a thin line remained.
After a long time, the cub's rapidly waving tentacles finally stopped, and then fell down lifelessly.
The cub opened its eyes wide and stared at the invisible dark area outside the window for a long time.
The next morning, Ruan Shiqing got up and washed, but found that the cub, who always got up with him every day, was still sleeping soundly in bed for the first time.
The tentacles on the forehead hang down softly, rising and falling with the breathing, which is very cute.
Ruan Shiqing couldn't help but reach out and touch the soft tentacles.
The tiny tentacles seemed to have some sense, and they curled up quickly, not letting anyone touch them. When Ruan Shiqing withdrew his fingers, they stretched out softly.
What a cute little cub! Ruan Shiqing was delighted and went to the bathroom to wash up in a happy mood.
After washing up, I took a nutrient supplement and went downstairs, but found that there was no one in the yard.
The door was open, but there was no sign saying "open for business", and neither the Xiong brothers nor 09 were anywhere to be seen.
After walking around in confusion and preparing to go out for a look, Ruan Shiqing happened to run into three people who were returning together.
The Xiong brothers looked heavy-hearted: "This is too cruel. How many years has this happened in the outer city?"
Even the little robot looked frightened: "This method is too cruel. It reminds me of some murderous demons."
Ruan Shiqing was confused when he heard this: "What happened?"
"Three people died in the outer city overnight." Xiong Fangfang frowned and said, "They were all homeless vagrants. They were torn into pieces and thrown into the garbage dump. The method was very cruel."
"It's only about a hundred meters away from us, and it was discovered by someone who went to the garbage dump to dig for things this morning. Now the whole outer city is in an uproar," Xiong Yuanyuan added.
"It's really scary." Although he didn't have human skin and wouldn't get goose bumps, 09 couldn't help rubbing his arms.
This little robot who loves life saw such a cruel scene for the first time.
"Has the murderer been found?" Ruan Shiqing frowned.
Although the law and order on planet b3024 was chaotic and murder and robbery were common, the homeless people wandering in the garbage dump were penniless and poor, and even if they were often bullied, their lives were not threatened. After all, everyone was busy making a living, and generally would not kill unless it was for profit.
Just like when I first came to planet b3024, the threats from others were more of a threat to my survival than the lack of food and clothing.
In the past few months since I came here, there have been no such vicious incidents of murder and dismemberment.
No wonder the entire outer city was in an uproar.
"Yes." Xiong Yuanyuan said, "People outside are in a panic now, wondering if there is a murderer on planet B3024."
Such a gray planet is simply a breeding ground for sin.
"For safety reasons, you'd better stay out of the house after dark," said Xiong Fangfang.
He killed three Bis people in a row. Although they were all relatively weak vagrants, the fact that he was able to kill and dismember them silently was enough to show how dangerous the other party was.
"Well, the repair shop should close early recently." Ruan Shiqing nodded in agreement.
…
Because of this vicious murder, the outer city was in an uproar for a while. But the dead were all homeless people with no relatives or friends, so after just two days, no one cared about it anymore.
As more people died, everyone's tense nerves relaxed.
That evening, Xiong Yuanyuan sent away the last customer who came to get his car repaired, and muttered, "It looks like the murderer is planning to kill again."
As a result, early the next morning, the body of a customer was found in a garbage dump not far from the repair shop.
The opponent's body was torn into pieces and thrown into the garbage dump. The shuttle motorcycle that was just being repaired in Ruan Shiqing's shop was broken into two pieces and thrown aside.
Ruan Shiqing's face suddenly became as gloomy as water.
The cub that was left at home sat under the eaves, its tentacles on its forehead waving anxiously.
