Chapter 459 Past Events of Bai Zhi Zhou
This starship is practically falling apart! How can it even be operated?
The first repairman to enter the starship recalled the scene of the Fifth Army's starship landing, and he even turned around to confirm it:
"You saw it just now, the starship is indeed flying perfectly well, right?"
"I saw it. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Sima Yan mentioned that she saw the Fifth Army's starship launch a missile. The starship should only need some minor repairs, right?
"No, no, no! Absolutely not! This is not just a local problem; the entire starship is almost completely rotten, not to mention the extent of damage to the internal systems and the cockpit."
Just look at this control handle, it's completely ruined. It can't drive properly at all. The angle is off by 12%. Let's not even talk about missiles, just finding the right direction to drive is a challenge.
Are you sure the missiles launched from this starship can hit the rebels' starship?
"Wait a minute, is it really that serious? From the outside, there's absolutely no problem. When the driver stopped, I saw that the direction was correct."
The next repairman entered the driver's seat, only glimpsed half of it, and was dumbfounded, just like the previous repairman.
Is this really a starship that can take off normally?
It is truly rotten to the core.
The two looked at each other, knowing they received payment each time they repaired the starship.
The reward came from the Fifth Army. They estimated the extent of the damage to the starship and didn't quote too high a price.
Who would have thought that the interior of a starship that could fly normally would be so badly damaged?
The quote was completely wrong.
Given the extent of the damage to this starship, it's truly a miracle that it managed to reach the Third Army; in fact, the starship was practically a total wreck.
Moreover, they noticed that the starship was running after the pilot forcibly shut down a large number of programs, and it had been running for quite some time, several days.
The pilots were even more familiar with the starship's internal structure than the pilots were. The shutdown of these programs not only did not affect the normal operation of the starship, but also reduced some fuel consumption.
The most crucial component is the steering handle. A 1% directional error can significantly impact the entire starship. An error of 12% would require an incredibly skilled pilot to maintain the correct orientation.
The two repairmen muttered to themselves from time to time, their shock palpable as they worked.
They showed more surprise than they had in the past year.
After the starship docked, the cultivators from Wanjue Academy and the remaining cultivators from the Fifth Army disembarked immediately.
Sima Bing, who came out to greet them from the Third Army, had already seen some of the battle videos of Sima Yan's starship. It could be said that the Fifth Army's starship pilots were quite capable.
Although Sima Bing hadn't discussed it with anyone else, he had the idea of poaching people. It was such a waste for such a driver to stay in the Fifth Army; he would definitely make him shine in their Third Army.
As Jiang He and the others left the starship one after another, Sima Bing waited and waited but did not see any soldiers wearing special piloting uniforms.
He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and when he saw Lan Gengzhong, Sima Bing couldn't help but ask:
"Lan Gengzhong, your team's drivers performed exceptionally well this time, but I didn't see them in the team."
Lan Geng felt slightly disappointed upon hearing Sima Bing's words again:
"All of our drivers have been killed."
Lan Gengzhong's answer was unexpected. Just as Sima Bing was about to offer some words of comfort, Lan Gengzhong left.
He silently gazed at Sima Yan.
According to Lan Gengzhong, all the drivers were killed...
"Hey sis, do you know who the pilot is on the Fifth Army starship?"
Sima Yan was curious as to why Sima Bing would bring up this topic, but considering the starship pilot, she guessed that her brother Sima Bing had already seen the video.
"He is a cultivator from the Wanjue Academy, a promising talent."
"But don't even think about it. His major isn't piloting. Wanju Academy doesn't have a flight technology major. He's a sword cultivator; there's no way he'd go with you to pilot a starship."
Sima Yan originally intended to dissuade Sima Bing, but to her surprise, Sima Bing became even more excited after Sima Yan finished speaking:
"Sword cultivators, huh? Sword cultivators are great! They can directly join our army. I'll contact the dean of the Sword Cultivation Academy at Wanjue Academy. It would be a shame if he didn't come to our army in the future."
Sima Yan rolled her eyes and said, "They're bringing their army again."
Sima Bing's idea is good, but whether it can be implemented is still a mystery. Those old-fashioned people are always stuffing their connections into the army, making things chaotic. In addition, their Third Army has never cooperated with Wanjue Academy. When Wanjue Academy cultivators enter the Third Army, the graduation school review process will take a long time.
Those in the Third Army might suspect that the Fifth Army had sent them as pawns to ambush them.
Sima Yan did not say anything on the spot to save face for Sima Bing.
She genuinely wanted to get his contact information to see if she could learn some driving skills; that was a really good move.
While Sima Yan and Sima Bing were discussing matters concerning Bai Zhizhou, the cultivators from Lingqing Academy overheard their conversation.
Their expressions shifted from initial confusion to uniform astonishment:
"You mean the person piloting the starship is not only a sword cultivator, but also a student at the Myriad Absolutes Academy?"
"Wow, I never thought of this before. This guy is pretty impressive."
"It's more than that. We ordinary cultivators have never even been on a military starship like this, and he can already drive it skillfully. If he really had a driving-related major, I wouldn't think much of it. The key is that he crossed over from a different major, which is a bit outrageous."
"Ah, who is it? Which cultivator from Wanjue Academy is so amazing that he can even pilot a starship?"
"I went to Wan Jue to inquire, and it turns out to be Bai Zhizhou, a second-year sword cultivator at Wan Jue Academy."
"Bai Zhizhou? I think I know him. He was on the same team as Jiang He in the academy competition."
"Let me tell you another bombshell. I heard from other cultivators that the Fifth Army's starship cockpit is so badly damaged that it's unrecognizable. The sensitivity of the controllers is even 12% different. When I heard this, I was stunned. If that's the case, are the pilots even human? They're practically superhuman beings."
"Damn, this news is really explosive. By the way, is he really not going to pilot a starship? That talent is amazing."
……
Bai Zhizhou was the last to disembark from the starship. Zhong Liyu saw Bai Zhizhou and the other person and rushed up to them. His curiosity was truly boundless.
"Bai Zhizhou, how did you come to know how to pilot a starship? I had no idea."
You've been hiding your true intentions well, haven't you?
Bai Zhizhou paused slightly, clearly this was the first time someone had asked him this question.
With a dim look in his eyes hidden behind his glasses, Bai Zhizhou suddenly remembered dropping out of school eight years ago to look for his grandfather.
This was actually not his first time arriving at the Third Army.
Eight years ago, my grandfather was in the Third Army. He came here to visit through the Bai family’s connections, and that’s when he learned to pilot a starship.
His cultivation level was not high, and his grandfather had not returned home for many years. After arriving at the Third Army, Bai Zhizhou had only seen his grandfather twice.
The first time was on the day he arrived.
And this second time...
