The battleship was officially named Apocalypse. Although the middle-aged man made it sound like a punishment against aliens, how could Xiao Ran not feel this guy's hatred for the Alliance? Perhaps this name also reflected the middle-aged man's deepest thoughts, which was to punish and destroy the Alliance.
Xiao Ran didn't think there was anything wrong with this name. It was a good name and very symbolic. If it were Xiao Ran, he would have just used Minerva's name, and then the auxiliary battleships would be named No.1, No.2, No.3, and No.4. Xiao Ran was helpless when it came to naming. Hahaha.
It was only a 700-meter-long battleship with one main ship and four auxiliary ships. The crew configuration required was also extremely exaggerated. Apart from its small diameter, it was about 2,000 meters long. It was basically an aircraft carrier for strategic use. Of course, this was only in this world. Such a battleship was nothing compared to a MANOX-class battleship like the Burning Legion. Apart from its length, it was far behind in all other aspects.
The entire battleship was fully equipped. At least a thousand people were required to operate this battleship. After all, there was no such thing as a super AI in this world.
After Xiao Ran looked at the rough information of the entire battleship, he also looked at the others who were also looking at the information, such as Patrick and Siegel.
Patrick seemed to have sensed Xiao Ran's gaze. He nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran, "I didn't expect to build such a battleship in the end. The number of people required is indeed a bit too much. I will try my best to make up for the number of people needed for this ship. But you know, after all, we are now at war. The Zaft needs experienced people to serve as the backbone in all aspects. We also need to replenish our manpower, so we can only fill the gap with more recruits."
Xiao Ran glanced at Patrick and nodded helplessly. "The standard configuration is 1,200 people. I'm afraid it won't be easy to fill up the technical class and logistics team with 200 people. Okay, we'll do as you say. Also, ask Aube to send more people to fill up the positions."
A rare sincere smile appeared on Patrick's face. He nodded and said, "I'm very grateful for that. Aube has indeed helped us a lot by sending people over. Although we were responsible for the battleship in the beginning."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He could see Patrick's intention at this time. He clearly wanted to fill in some of the new recruits to take up other positions on the ship and learn how to pilot the MS from him.
There were a total of five virtual training rooms on this battleship. It was obviously deliberately made. If a normal pilot trained in the battleship, they could use the training machines.................................
"Well, ask Aube's people to come over in a week." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I've given those little guys a week to rest, and then another week to let them familiarize themselves with the body and the battleship. Your people and Aube's people also need to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the battleship in these two weeks. In addition, they need to be equipped with individual uniforms. Whether it's Aube's uniform or ZAFT's uniform, they won't be suitable. I'll send you the styles. The new uniforms must be ready before we depart."
Siegel quickly said, "These are all small problems. A few thousand uniforms can be solved in a day."
Lax smiled as he watched the three of them finish talking. Finally, he tilted his head and looked at Xiao Ran. "Are you going to take them for their first combat training in half a month?"
"It's just a simple training. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that there are many unknown bodies on Earth now." Xiao Ran nodded. Lax asked, "I'm also very curious about what their first combat training will be like. Can I go with you?"
Xiao Ran smiled. "Of course, but with this battleship, the original plan may have to be changed slightly."
…
A week later, the battleship named Apocalypse began its official internal operation and testing. After Aube was notified, it only took him three days to secretly send 400 people to PLANT. This included 50 mid-level and low-level technicians from the Dawnlight Coven. They were fully capable and qualified to act as trainees. In fact, when Aube's trainees were sent over, they had already sent over a number of trainees. Sending another batch of trainees would not affect the normal operations of the Dawnlight Coven.
The rest of the trainees were mostly normal operators in various positions, such as supervisors, soldiers, trainees, and so on. The trainees had it the hardest. Not only did they have to undergo MS training, but they also had to take on different jobs at other times. In short, these trainees were sent over after a discussion between ZAFT and Aube. Together with the manpower provided by PLANT, they made up for the normal manpower needed by the Dawnlight Coven.
On the surface, it seemed like PLANT and Aube were helping Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran was grateful for their help. However, the truth was that they were helping themselves. Xiao Ran needed to plan and cultivate the talents he needed. He needed a combat team that he could control. Now, the Apocalypse had fulfilled his needs. PLANT and Aube had also gotten what they wanted. Technology, friendship, and skilled combat personnel. To a certain extent, it could be considered as mutually beneficial.
Besides, PLANT was very sensible. They did not say anything about the positions of the bridge personnel. It was all up to Xiao Ran's preferences. In the end, Xiao Ran still added an adjutant to the Apocalypse. The first mate was Colonel Hugao from Aube. He was usually in charge of commanding the bridge. The second mate was from ZAFT. He was mainly in charge of logistics and support work. His name was Li Yougui. When Xiao Ran saw him, he realized that he was the guy who killed Patrick in the normal storyline. But now, he was here.
Originally, in the SEED world, although Aubrey and PLANT weren't enemies, they were at least indifferent. But now, because of Xiao Ran's appearance in this world, although Aubrey and PLANT still looked the same on the surface, they had secretly established a good relationship. This was all because of Xiao Ran's change.
All the trainees rested for a week. Those from Aube arrived at the Apocalypse early in the morning under the guidance of the instructors. Aslan and the others were also secretly sent over. When they saw the huge Apocalypse, they were shocked.
