Ling Lan finally stopped at the front. She turned around and looked at the ten team leaders. She said calmly, "Report the results of the mission."
Yang Mingzhi, who was ranked first and deserved to be called the big brother of the ten teams, suddenly took a step forward and shouted, "Team 01, 24 members, successfully captured 52 recruits."
Then, all the teams reported their results one by one until Li Yingjie from Team 10 finished reporting.
Ling Lan nodded. This time, the ten teams had all performed quite well. Even though they had some minor flaws, Ling Lan still magnanimously let them off the hook.
The 250 mecha operators were elated when they saw their regiment commander nodding. They knew that they had passed the mission. Just now, they were afraid that Ling Lan would not be satisfied with their performance today and punish them with a new round of training. For the past few months, they had been doing the same thing. This made them feel that they were going to die again every time they were tested.
Now, it seemed that it was not impossible for their regiment commander to let them off. They just didn't understand what made their regiment commander satisfied. The mecha operators were all smart people. In order for their regiment commander to let them off a second time, a third time, or even countless times in the future, they had to understand what made their regiment commander satisfied.
Performance of their strength? Bullsh * t, their strength was not that much stronger than before.
Performance of completing a mission? It was barely satisfactory. The mecha operators were not very confident about their performance. They felt that they were not much different from before.
They thought for a while but still couldn't find the reason. The mecha operators saw their regiment commander walking towards the new recruits who were beaten up badly by them.
Suddenly, a thought flashed past their minds. Their regiment commander was a ruthless devil. He killed two mecha operators at the start of the mission. (Because they were cold to each other, the mecha operators didn't know how many mecha operators there were in 250 Ace Mecha Clan.) They must have been too soft-hearted in the past so their regiment commander didn't like them. That was why he tortured them over and over again. Just now, they wanted to vent their anger so they were a little ruthless. They tortured the new recruits … Was this the truth?
The mecha operators instantly understood. In the future, when they were on the battlefield, in order to satisfy their regiment commander, they would become more ruthless. This made Ling Lan think that they were under too much pressure on the battlefield so she tried to make them relax. Thus, Ling Lan's attitude towards them became gentler.
This made the mecha operators believe that they were on the right path. Hence, their actions became even more vicious. Ling Lan was worried so she had to be more gentle. Just like that, 250 Ace Mecha Clan became a devil on the battlefield. Of course, this is a story for the future. Let's not talk about it now.
The dejected new recruits saw the highest commanding officer of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, their regiment commander, standing in front of them. Faced with Ling Lan's cold gaze, all the new recruits were frightened. Although Ling Lan didn't say anything, they could feel the cold aura around her. They knew that this regiment commander was a scary and cruel person.
At this moment, there was only one thought in the minds of these new recruits, and that was, would they be directly sent back by this terrifying regiment commander?
The new recruits were assigned to a mecha clan by the mainframe but it didn't mean that they would definitely enter the mecha clan. If the commanding officer of the mecha clan wasn't satisfied, he could send them back to the new recruit camp. The new recruits that were sent back to the new recruit camp would be retrained for three months. Then, they would be sent back to their original mecha clan. If they were still not satisfied, they would be sent back to their original mecha clan. This meant that they would be deemed as useless by the military. In the future, it would be difficult for them to find a job or find a marriage partner. They would be ruined for life.
Since they chose to serve in the military, other than the children that were thrown into the military by their parents, most of them wanted to have a future in the military. If they were sent back this time, they believed that their regiment commander wouldn't be satisfied the next time they came. They would definitely be sent back to their original mecha clan. This wasn't the result they wanted to see.
Knowing that their future was bleak, a few young men with weak hearts actually started to cry. After all, they were just young men who had just reached 20 years old. They couldn't take this kind of blow.
"As expected, they are very weak." Ling Lan saw some of the new recruits crying and instantly frowned. She angrily expressed her opinion of this batch of new recruits.
The moment she said this, the new recruits who didn't break down all broke down. Almost all of them started to cry.
Ling Lan was speechless. Originally, she thought that the mecha operators in 250 Ace Mecha Clan were bad enough. She didn't expect this batch of new recruits to be even worse. Also, why did they look as if they saw a demon? Damn it, she was clearly not bad looking. No, it was even better than not bad. She could definitely be called a handsome young man. Erm, something seemed to have entered her eyes. In short, she was very good-looking. Was there something wrong with the eyes of these new recruits?
Ling Lan felt depressed. She didn't understand why she wasn't liked. She didn't know that when she appeared, only those who were stronger than her could ignore the cold aura around her. No one else could withstand the suppression brought by her strength. They would only remember Ling Lan's cold aura and her cold and indifferent eyes.
As Ling Lan's gaze became colder and colder, all the new recruits almost thought that they would definitely be sent back. Crying was the easiest way to affect the people around them. Instantly, all the new recruits started to cry.
Damn it, men bleed but don't cry. Why were these men so weak? Ling Lan snorted unhappily. Instantly, all the new recruits were frightened. They didn't dare to cry and only dared to cry silently. Their young and tender faces looked pitiful with tears.
Forget it, out of sight, out of mind. Ling Lan shouted helplessly, "Lin Zhong-qing!" “
"I'm here!" A voice suddenly sounded in the square. A figure suddenly appeared behind Ling Lan. It was Lin Zhong-qing. Before Boss called him out, he had been hiding at the side.
"I'll leave these people to you. I'll give you three months. If any of them start crying again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ling Lan was afraid that she would teach these people a lesson. After many years of training, Ling Lan hated seeing people cry the most. It would make her angry and her hands itch.
"Yes, regiment commander!" Lin Zhong-qing accepted the order.
After throwing these useless people to Lin Zhong-qing, Ling Lan walked towards Chen Yifan, who was the only one who wasn't intimidated by her.
When Chen Yifan saw Ling Lan walking towards him, his heart skipped a beat. Actually, he was only calm on the surface. However, he was actually very nervous inside.
"Chen Yifan?" “
"Yes!" Chen Yifan instinctively raised his head and puffed out his chest. It was just like the first time he met a combat instructor in the military academy. He was very respectful.
"I know that you're an ace operator. If you pass the team assessment, I can let you become a member of a mecha operator team." Ling Lan of course wouldn't let Chen Yifan waste his ability so she gave him a chance.
Chen Yifan was hesitant. He instinctively looked at his younger brother Chen Yi 'an. After all, he joined the military mainly for his younger brother and not for himself.
Ling Lan sensed Chen Yifan's thoughts and gave a mocking smile. She said calmly, "A logistician is to serve a mecha operator. Whether you want to serve or be served depends on whether you have the ability. Also, if you want to protect someone, you need to have enough ability. If not, you can't do anything. " “
Ling Lan was reminding Chen Yifan how to take care of his younger brother. At the same time, she was warning him not to treat himself as a treasure. If he didn't meet her requirements, he could go back to where he came from. So what if he was an ace operator? Ling Lan didn't mind letting an ace operator become a logistician. She could afford to waste his ability.
Chen Yifan was shocked. He was smart and understood Ling Lan's words. At the same time, Chen Yifan saw another way to protect his younger brother. That was to become a mecha operator and protect his younger brother under his wings. He could become a logistician.
"I understand, regiment commander!" Chen Yifan's eyes lit up for the first time. It was as though he had found a new goal to work towards.
Ling Lan smiled. This Chen Yifan, how long was he going to keep lying to himself?
Ling Lan didn't look at him anymore. She didn't care whether Chen Yifan was a dragon or a worm. Ling Lan didn't care. Although Ling Lan wanted to take him into her battle team, she wouldn't treat him as well as she treated her friends like Zilong and Luo Lang. If Chen Yifan proved that he was a dragon, Ling Lan was willing to give him a chance to become a member of Lingtian. Of course, this all depended on Chen Yifan's performance in the future.
Ling Lan walked past Chen Yifan and walked to the front of the team. She said, "Disperse!"
After saying this, Ling Lan disappeared. It was as though she was never here. All the mecha operators were sure that they had escaped death. Their regiment commander didn't punish them. Everyone cheered, and the entire square was suddenly immersed in a sea of joy. It was a stark contrast to the sad and sorrowful recruits.
Chen Yifan narrowed his eyes when he saw Ling Lan disappear. He couldn't even see her movements. Without a doubt, Ling Lan's physical skills had reached another level. He also knew that Ling Lan must have hidden this point. The Federation's mainframe didn't update the record of the youngest person to advance to the domain realm.
As expected, 250 Ace Mecha Clan wasn't a useless mecha clan. It might even be the mecha clan with the highest potential in the 23rd division. Chen Yifan looked at the confused Chen Yifan and the hesitant Zhou Yu. He sighed in his heart. The three of them were really lucky. With such a powerful regiment commander, their future wouldn't be bad.
After the recruits calmed down and were informed that they had not been sent back, they walked out of their sadness and despair. However, their happiness did not last long, as they were tortured by the terrifying training that followed. Originally, what was even more terrifying than being sent back was that they could neither live nor die ….
Time passed quickly. Another two months passed quietly. In these two months, 250 Ace Mecha Clan carried out their training in an orderly manner. At this moment, no one knew that a terrifying beast was slowly awakening in the 23rd division.
Ling Lan sat alone in her office and looked at some documents. Without Little Four's help, Ling Lan could only do it herself. This made Ling Lan miss Little Four even more. When he asked Floret about the situation, Floret would only say that Little Four's evolution was going smoothly. She just didn't know when he would finish evolving. After all, Little Four and Floret were two different intelligent entities. She could only feel whether the evolution was going smoothly but she couldn't know the details of the process.
"Beep beep!" The optical supercomputer of 250 Ace Mecha Clan rang. It indicated that it had received a new message.
Ling Lan opened it and frowned. It was actually a land clearing mission. “
A land clearing mission referred to when the Federation discovered a new planet that was level five or above and had the characteristics of life forms. The military would inform the major armies to send their divisions to cooperate with the entire army to explore and explore the newly discovered planet.
The land clearing mission followed the rule of whoever discovered the planet would own it. Of course, this rule was only valid for five years. After five years, the nation would take back the resources that the mecha clans found. After ten years, the nation would return all the resources, minerals, life forms, plants, etc., to the nation.
The reason why the various divisions were given such preferential treatment was because land clearing missions were extremely dangerous. Many mecha clans would even be wiped out on the new planet. If there weren't enough benefits, how would the various divisions be willing to send their mecha clans to the new planet? Of course, this was also a reward system. The various divisions couldn't give up on these benefits. Every time they discovered a new planet, they would eagerly send their ace mecha clans to the new planet. They wanted to obtain more benefits.
Whether or not a division could maintain its strength was not something that could be satisfied with just the funds allocated by the Federation's military. Divisions often relied on the benefits of these new planets to increase the strength of the division. It should be said that this was a way of teaching people how to fish. It allowed the various divisions to have a sense of competition and at the same time, be self-sufficient. Although this might make the divisions more individualized, to the Federation, this was the only way to not let the huge division become a burden that would be passed on to the ordinary people.
It should be said that this method had its pros and cons. However, from the looks of it, the pros outweighed the cons.
In reality, the mecha clans that were able to receive land clearing missions were all powerful mecha clans that were trusted by their regiment commander. Although the mission was dangerous, it was a mission that would allow the mecha clans to gain benefits openly. According to the rules, if a mecha clan discovered a new planet, they only needed to hand over 80% of the resources. If it was a sustainable energy source, the mecha clan would receive 10% of the profits for three years.
It didn't seem like a lot but if they really found a sustainable energy source, they would be able to earn trillions of credits. 10% of the profits for three years was enough to make a mecha clan filthy rich.
If a mecha clan wanted to become a powerful mecha clan, they needed to have all sorts of advanced equipment. All these equipment needed to be paid with credits. If they just waited for the mecha clan to distribute the equipment according to their needs … Haha, who knows how long they would have to wait. After all, the headquarters needed to consider the combat power of the entire mecha clan and not the combat power of one mecha clan.
