There were mecha operating suits prepared in the changing room. Ling Lan and her team members quickly changed into the suits that were suitable for them.
The operating suit had the function of reducing pressure and preventing shock. It would protect the mecha operator to a certain extent. Every mecha operator had to wear it before boarding the plane.
However, if the situation was urgent, this step would be omitted. However, the result of this was that after a big battle, the mecha operators who came back alive would be seriously injured. Without the protection of the operating suit, the mecha operators would have to rely on their own body to fight. This would cause a lot of damage to the mecha operators.
Ling Lan and her team members ran all the way back to the waiting area. They also did some warm-up exercises so that they wouldn't be unable to stretch their bodies because of the sudden battle. This would affect their operating speed.
Every mecha had its own operator. Ling Lan and her team members also had their own mecha. This was arranged from the very beginning.
Ling Lan took out the activation key that belonged to their mecha and scanned it on the sensor in the working area.
"Ka ka ka …" Suddenly, a flat metal wall in front of them suddenly rose up, revealing a groove-like space. Inside, there was a well-made and majestic huge mecha. It was even bigger and more exquisite than the mecha outside. With one look, it was obvious that the two mecha were on a completely different level.
Ling Lan knew that it was her mecha. No wonder she only saw mechas below special-class. She was still thinking about where the Feiyang Ship hid her mecha.
She didn't hesitate and went under the mecha in a flash. At the same time, she pressed the activation key.
"Bam!"
The cockpit door suddenly opened. Ling Lan exerted strength in her legs and jumped into the air. Then, she stepped on the outer shell of the mecha and jumped into the cockpit in a blink of an eye. This was the effect of Ling Lan restraining herself. If not, Ling Lan wouldn't even need to use strength. She could just fly into the cockpit.
"Ka!" The cockpit closed again. Ling Lan activated the ace mecha that belonged to her now. After the mission was completed, it would truly belong to Ling Lan.
Ling Lan's ace mecha was a standard balanced mecha. Actually, at the start, Ling Lan also considered if she should choose a close combat mecha. However, when she saw that Zilong and Zhao Jun didn't hesitate to choose close combat mecha, Ling Lan had no choice but to give up.
In order to ensure the power of their long-range mecha, Ling Lan could only choose a balanced mecha. With Li Lanfeng's balanced mecha and Lin Zhong-qing's, their battle team's long-range and close combat Ling Lan was a balanced mecha...
. why there were so many violent people in her team. Why? Why were there so many violent people in her team?
At this moment, Ling Lan still hadn't realised that the reason there were so many violent members in the team was entirely because she, as the leader, was very violent. Wasn't there a saying that the kind of general would lead the kind of soldiers? It was rare for Ling Lan to engage in close combat, and her performance was extremely ferocious. This greatly stimulated her team members, making them admire this kind of barbaric, fierce, and unreasonable close-combat style that used force to oppress others.
The commotion here instantly alerted a staff member in the waiting area who had just finished monitoring the previous mecha. He didn't dare to stop, hugging his A.I. and running over.
When he saw that the mecha activating was an ace mecha, he was just about to cry out in surprise when he realized what he should do. He quickly swallowed the sound that had already reached his throat and looked around quickly. Seeing that his companions had not noticed this, he excitedly connected with the activated ace mecha.
"Serial number: L6-W1." Although the staff member tried to calm himself down, the first sentence he said still revealed a hint of excitement and nervousness. He was trembling when he reported the serial number of the mecha.
It couldn't be helped. Although Feiyang was a warship in her previous life, it was a normal warship. The mechas that were assigned to it were only special-class mechas. As a mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier who had only served on one warship his whole life, he never thought that he would be able to serve an ace mecha one day. If they could return to the Federation alive and return to the military, he would definitely show off to the other mecha monitoring and maintenance soldiers on other warships.
The highest goal of a mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier was to become the exclusive mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier of an ace mecha.
"Yes!" Ling Lan's calm voice made the staff member shiver. His originally excited heart suddenly calmed down. Sob sob sob, as expected of an ace operator. Just one sound was enough to make people calm down. The staff member looked at Ling Lan with admiration. In the eyes of these monitoring and maintenance soldiers, ace operators were legendary figures that they looked up to.
"Beginning the monitoring of the mecha..." The staff member instantly got into character and began to seriously examine the data sent back by the mecha. His gaze was fixed on the images displayed by the A.I., afraid that he would miss something. The work that had initially made him feel somewhat numb now brought him endless pressure. He was afraid that if he missed something, it would cause an irreparable regret in the end.
Sweat started to appear on the staff member's forehead. The monitoring only lasted for a few seconds. However, in these few seconds, he was actually drenched in sweat. His entire uniform was soaked with sweat.
"Serial number: L6-W1. Check passed. You can go out now." The result was that everything was okay. The staff member immediately disconnected the connection. He pulled down the earpiece behind his ear and shouted loudly.
At this moment, he finally dared to heave a sigh of relief. He finally understood how much pressure it was to be the exclusive mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier of an ace mecha. The staff member felt that if he were to do this a few more times, he would definitely die young from the pressure and nervousness.
The mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier looked very relaxed, just looking at the data. However, his responsibility was not light. He was the most important line of defence for the monitoring and protection of mecha operators. Sometimes, when a mecha was activated, it would not be able to detect hidden problems. However, the optical supercomputer connected to the mecha would be able to see these hidden problems clearly.
Historical experience told everyone that the hidden problems of a mecha were more terrifying than the enemy. In the past, mecha monitoring and maintenance soldiers were not as important as they were now. Usually, a mecha clan would only have one mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier. Some simple mecha clans would even only have one monitoring and maintenance soldier in the entire clan.
The price of neglecting the importance of this soldier was painful. Once, a fleet from the Federation met with an enemy fleet that was hiding in plain sight. A huge battle broke out because there weren't enough mecha operators to perform emergency monitoring during the battle. One of the mecha clans decided to go out and fight without any pre-battle monitoring …
In the end, they didn't die in the hands of the enemy. Instead, they died from a virus that had already existed in their mecha system. In the end, out of the 380 people in the mecha clan who were infected, only less than 10 people survived. These people were able to survive because their mecha had just been infected by the virus. It didn't act up in time. That was why they were able to survive that battle.
This tragedy made the Federation no longer dare to ignore this seemingly insignificant but actually related to the lives of mecha operators. Although the final result of the inspection was partly due to the monitoring and maintenance soldier's dereliction of duty and neglect several abnormalities, the final result was that the monitoring and maintenance soldier had neglected a few abnormalities. However, if a mecha clan had more than one monitoring and maintenance soldier, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened.
This lesson made the Federation decisively increase the number of mecha monitoring and maintenance soldiers. They lowered some of the physical requirements and also allowed some commoners to have the opportunity to join the military.
Later on, there was an outstanding mecha maintenance soldier who had followed a certain marshal. During a mission before the marshal had made his name, before the reinforcements had arrived, they had already run out of supplies and their mecha was already broken beyond repair. Thus, when they were in a desperate situation, he displayed his amazing mecha maintenance skills and extended the lifespan of the mecha again and again. In the end, they relied on this point to persevere until the reinforcements arrived.
When that marshal really reached the top, this mecha monitoring and maintenance soldier then became a high-ranking military officer and held the rank of major general. Just like that, an ordinary civilian, without a strong physique and amazing intelligence, had turned into a general that ordinary people looked up to just by relying on his solid monitoring and maintenance skills. This was definitely a living example of a civilian's struggle to turn the tide.
This also made mecha monitoring and maintenance soldiers instantly become the most popular soldier type for commoners who wanted to change their lives.
Now, although normal mecha operators couldn't reach the standard of having one soldier per mecha, they still reached the standard of having one soldier per mecha. Special-class mecha operators also reached the standard of having two soldiers per mecha. As for ace mecha masters, they even reached the standard of having one soldier per mecha. In other words, ace mecha masters had their own mecha monitoring and maintenance soldiers who were only responsible for that ace mecha.
The staff member who was monitoring Ling Lan's L6-W1 reported to the JMC in the waiting area. The next second, the JMC in the waiting area connected the call to Ling Lan. "L6-W1, please take note. L6-W1, please take note. You have been arranged to be at port number three. Please prepare to attack."
Following this, Ling Lan's mecha was sent to port number three.
The JMC in charge of port number three noticed that there was a new mecha in her area. She immediately looked up and then screamed, "Ah!"
Her scream scared the JMCs beside her. "Little Qing, what's wrong?"
"Ace mecha. It's an ace mecha." The JMC called Little Qing pointed at the mecha on the screen in front of her and shouted.
Her shout made the other JMCs instantly excited. They all looked over and saw that it was indeed the Federation's standard balanced ace mecha. They also shouted excitedly.
Their squad leader saw this and her face darkened. "It's wartime now. Why aren't you guys guarding your positions?"
The JMCs knew that they were in the wrong so they didn't dare to say anything. They all focused on their work.
"L6-W1, everything is ready. Requesting to attack!" Ling Lan did a quick check and found that everything was ready. Then, she pressed the button to contact the JMC of ejection port number three that she was already connected to.
"Yes, please wait for a moment!" The JMC's voice was trembling but it was still clear.
"Final check. B17's power is normal. Oxygen system is normal. Weapons and equipment are basic. There are no errors. Ejection is allowed!"
"Lastly, please do your best!" The JMC in port number three suddenly added this sentence. Although she couldn't see what the mecha operator in the helmet looked like in the video, the other's cold and calm eyes made her heart skip a beat. She actually impulsively took the initiative to say this sentence.
The moment this sentence left her mouth, Little Qing woke up. Her face turned pale. She actually went against the code of conduct of JMCs. If this ace operator complained about her, she would definitely be expelled from the military. Little Qing seemed to have seen the mocking and disdainful looks of the people around her. Her eyes turned hot and crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks. However, she gritted her teeth and held it in. Since she made a mistake, this was the result she had to bear. What right did she have to cry?
Ling Lan was stunned. This was against the rules … She raised her head and looked at the small window of the JMC's avatar on the mecha's screen. She saw the JMC's face full of fear and the tears that were about to fall. It looked like she also knew her mistake. That sentence seemed to be just her impulse. She didn't mean it …
No matter what, this was the other party's encouragement to her. Ling Lan lowered her eyes and politely replied, "Thank you!"
The cold voice with the word 'thank you' went straight into Little Qing's ears. It was like the sound of nature, almost making her faint. Ah, that master didn't scold her. He even thanked her. Little Qing felt that she was too lucky. This was the first time she was receiving an ace operator. He was actually so understanding and didn't pursue her violation of the rules.
Since the master had already helped her, she couldn't make any more mistakes. Little Qing took a deep breath and sucked back the tears in her eyes. Then, she pressed the countdown button.
The entire ejection port and the mecha's screen started the countdown at the same time.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1 … Launch!"
"Boom!" The mecha was ejected out of the ejection port. At the same time, the mecha's engine roared and the mecha flew into the sky like a bolt of lightning.
Right after Little Qing sent away her ace operator, her comrades, the other JMCs, also exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that they had also received their service targets. They were actually also ace mechas. Their class's ejection ports 1 to 4 all had an ace operator appear. Little Qing received another ace operator, which meant that there were five ace operators. This surprised them. Why would there be five ace operators on this simple transport mission? What kind of important mission did they receive? If it was so important, why would they be given this normal warship?
The appearance of the five ace operators and the excitement of the young ladies were all seen by the class monitor. A trace of worry appeared on her mature face. Only she knew that the other class of JMCs at ejection ports 5 to 8 had received six ace operators earlier than them.
Since 11 ace operators had appeared at the same time, and when she thought about how their warship had been secretly modified for a year, the class monitor knew that the mission they received was not an ordinary one. She just hoped that under the escort of these 11 ace operators, they would be able to complete this transport mission safely.
