Chapter 307 - It's Not Just Her Who's Clueless

Chu Qingjuan saw Xia Chujian's slightly nervous expression and, assuming she was afraid, released her hand, saying softly, "Don't talk about the Special Security Bureau outside, whether it's good or bad. Got it?"

Xia Chujian nodded obediently, "Got it, thank you, Sister Chu, for the reminder."

Chu Qingjuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, class is about to start."

As she spoke, today's Instructor walked onto the podium.

This was a female Instructor, looking to be in her thirties, but judging by the Captain insignia on her shoulder, she was only a Captain.

With a stern face, she entered and closed all the doors and windows of the classroom, also lowering the blackout curtains.

The classroom immediately darkened.

Then, she turned on the virtual display screen of the physical Quantum Optical Brain teaching equipment on the podium.

The podium immediately shone with light, the virtual display screen as large as a movie theater screen.

Immediately afterward, three-dimensional holographic images of three gray-black Ground Fighters appeared on the virtual display screen.

The female Instructor then said, "I am your Instructor, Yang Ling. You only have two weeks to familiarize yourselves with the theoretical knowledge of Ground Fighters and Starry Sky Fighters, so I won't waste any time and will start lecturing directly."

"Also, it's not enough for you to just listen to the lectures. Every day when you go back, you need to spend a few hours reading the assigned textbook content. If you don't finish the assigned textbook content by the final assessment, you will definitely fail."

After she finished speaking, she ignored the quiet discussions below and continued, "This week, we will cover Ground Fighters, mainly the Harrier-type, Owl-type, and Eagle-type Warplanes. As the names suggest, the characteristics of these three Warplanes are related to their names."

"The Harrier-type Warplane is small and lightweight, very suitable for surprise attacks, using speed to gain an advantage. The disadvantage is that it is easily shot down by the enemy. However, because the Harrier-type Warplane only flies under the Empire's starry sky, no enemy within the Empire currently has the ability to shoot down a Harrier-type Warplane."

"The Owl-type Warplane is larger and heavier than the Harrier-type Warplane, and its speed is slightly slower, but its firepower is more ferocious, capable of carrying twenty small Missiles simultaneously. The operating system of this Warplane also has certain technical flaws, namely, the fuselage will tilt to some extent when launching Missiles. However, skilled pilots can perfectly overcome this flaw."

"The Eagle-type Warplane has both the speed of the Harrier-type Warplane and the firepower of the Owl-type Warplane, and the construction materials use special metals that even Missiles cannot penetrate, making it very safe. The disadvantage is that the operating system is very complex. The people in the Star Region Guard are not qualified enough, and it generally requires two pilots to operate together. And you need to master the technology of single-handedly piloting the Eagle-type Warplane."

"Next week, we will cover three types of Starry Sky Fighters, including the Thunder-class, Aurora-class, and Ghost-Class. Most of you are Chief Pilots of Thunder-class and Aurora-class Warplanes, and a small number of you… to be precise, there are six people, who are Chief Pilots of Ghost-class Fighters. Because you already have some foundation, the theoretical knowledge of these three types of Warplanes will focus on the repair and maintenance of the Warplanes."

"Alright, we will now discuss the internal structure of the Harrier-type Ground Fighter."

...

As the female Instructor Yang Ling lectured, the classroom was silent. Everyone watched the internal structure of the Warplane displayed on the super-large virtual display screen with rapt attention, while frantically recording their insights and experiences in their electronic notebooks.

There were also automatic recording devices in the classroom. After a class, they could re-watch the content of the class through the small Quantum Optical Brain devices on their seats.

This special training base did not allow them to record the lecture content themselves, and of course, they could not post it on the Star Network. Such behavior was considered a serious leak and would be punished with severe imprisonment.

Xia Chujian was originally apprehensive and unconfident because her physics grades were very poor, and many of these Warplane structures involved physics knowledge.

Although Xia Yuanfang had given her more than two months of intensive tutoring, she was not that bad anymore.

Unfortunately, as Instructor Yang Ling lectured more and more deeply, Xia Chujian found it very difficult to understand.

Those complex mechanical structures, cutting-edge material compositions, and the Warplane's flight characteristics, various parameters and constants, were like overwhelming black mosquitoes, swaying in front of her eyes.

She became more and more nervous, but when she secretly looked at her roommates on the left and right, as well as other students, she found that most of them were like her, with empty eyes, probably dizzy...

Xia Chujian instantly calmed down.

It seemed she wasn't the only one who was clueless.

Everyone couldn't understand.

Two hours later, most of the students walked out of the classroom with empty eyes and weak legs, heading to the Ground Fighter training room for on-machine training.

Xia Chujian secretly asked Chu Qingjuan, "Sister Chu, did you understand?"

Chu Qingjuan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "... I haven't had much contact with Ground Fighters. The first class was so full of information. I won't sleep tonight. I must finish reading the assigned textbook!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

Mao Yonggui said, "I don't plan to sleep either, but I'm worried that even if I don't sleep, I won't be able to finish reading so much assigned textbook content!"

Sang Yadi nodded, "Me me me... me too."

Xia Chujian was silent.

She seemed to be living in a Try-hard Dorm...

It wasn't that she didn't want to stay up late to read the textbook, but she was worried that even if she stayed up late, she wouldn't understand it. What to do? Xia Chujian wanted to ask her Aunt if she could let her Aunt look at her textbook and then organize an outline for her? Xia Chujian was making wishful calculations, following everyone into the Ground Fighter training room.

This Ground Fighter training room was more like a row of huge three-story-high warehouses.

Each floor of the warehouse could accommodate ten Ground Fighters side by side.

With five rows of warehouses, each floor held fifty fighters, and three floors accommodated three types of Ground Fighters, totaling one hundred and fifty.

...

Today, their training would begin with the Harrier-type Warplane.

The group entered the first floor of the first warehouse, where ten Harrier-type Warplanes were lined up in a spacious, undivided training room.

The chief Instructor, with his hands behind his back, walked out and said, "According to your dorms, you'll be in groups of four, sharing one Warplane for training."

"Each Warplane will be randomly assigned an Instructor, who can only take one student up at a time. Coordinate your turns yourselves."

After speaking, the chief Instructor walked to the first Harrier-type Warplane and said, "I'll take this one."

Standing in front of that Harrier-type Warplane were the four girls from Ji Nabi's dorm.

Xia Chujian and her roommates were next to the second Warplane, directly to the right of the first.

The Instructor who came to teach them was relatively young, with the rank of only Second Lieutenant.

The chief Instructor who had assigned the tasks earlier held the rank of First Lieutenant.

Xia Chujian knew that the chief Instructor must be more skilled.

He was teaching Ji Nabi's dorm, and after Lin Xiaoxiao's incident, everyone knew that dorm was full of Noble Ladies.

Heh, this order was truly "random"...

Xia Chujian silently retracted her gaze and discussed with her roommates, "Who wants to go up first?"

Mao Yonggui suggested, "Draw straws?"

Xia Chujian's lips twitched. "Is it even worth drawing straws for this? I'll go last, you guys decide."

Mao Yonggui quickly said, "Then I'll be second to last."

Chu Qingjuan said, "I'll be second, Yadi, you go first."

Sang Yadi looked at them and didn't decline, saying, "Okay, I... I'll go up first."

The young Instructor was already sitting inside the Warplane.

Sang Yadi followed and sat in the seat behind the Instructor.

Because the Harrier-type Warplane was so small, it originally only had one seat, but since it was a training aircraft, a seat had been temporarily installed in the back row.

So, to learn how to pilot the Warplane, one could only watch from behind.

Fortunately, everyone was an experienced pilot. The principles of Starry Sky Fighters and Ground Fighters weren't that different, making it easy to understand by analogy.

After being taken up for ten minutes, Sang Yadi was able to take over herself.

After flying for twenty minutes, she went to another training room with a Warplane simulation system to reinforce what she had just learned.

Next were Chu Qingjuan and Mao Yonggui, who were also talented Warplane pilots. Their previous experience piloting Starry Sky Fighters allowed them to quickly familiarize themselves with this type of Ground Fighter.

Once they had both gone to the adjacent Warplane simulation system training room, it was finally Xia Chujian's turn.

Each person had roughly thirty minutes.

Xia Chujian nervously boarded the Warplane with the young Instructor.

As the Warplane took off, Xia Chujian immediately felt the rapid acceleration.

But thankfully, she felt that it was slower than the Combat Aircraft she had piloted, which used a Controllable Nuclear Fusion reactor as a generator.

Looking at the operating system demonstrated by the Instructor, Xia Chujian felt relieved.

She had previously thought that her lack of Warplane piloting experience would put her far behind the other students.

But now that she was in the Warplane, she realized that the Quan Family's large Flying Vehicle's operating interface was actually that of a Warplane...

Coincidentally, she had comprehensively studied "driving skills" on that Quan Family's large Flying Vehicle.

Now, watching the Instructor's operations, she actually felt that she could do even better...

Her eyes flickered, and she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She couldn't be blindly arrogant.

Whether she could pilot better than this instructor would depend on her actual operation.

That time on the Quan Family's large flying vehicle, she had only studied their operating system and had no real driving experience.

She listened attentively to the instructor's explanation, occasionally asking questions about things she didn't understand.

The instructor blushed, because Xia Chujian's questions were exactly what he didn't understand himself...

In his experience, he was still in a state of "knowing what it is, but not why it is" on many key issues.

He felt that Xia Chujian asked much more in-depth questions than the previous three students!

Therefore, he could only answer the questions he knew, and glossed over the ones he didn't know the answer to.

Xia Chujian seemed to understand something, and didn't ask any more questions, only paying attention to his operation.

Ten minutes later, it was Xia Chujian's turn to drive.

Her hand rested on the mode control panel, she recalled the instructor's operation just now, and then started the warplane.

The Beichen Empire's civilian flying vehicles and civilian aircraft have already achieved 100% automatic driving.

As long as you set the starting and destination addresses, they can fly automatically and safely take you to your destination.

But warplanes are different. Whether it is a Ground Fighter or a Starry Sky Fighter, even if the operating system can be fully automatic, it cannot really be fully automatic.

Because the enemy will not fight according to your established program, Mechanical Intelligence must act under the control of the pilot.

In a word, it is still people fighting, not Mechanical Intelligence fighting.

The second update is at 1 p.m.

The number of people in the previous chapter was wrong, it should be 160 men and 40 women. It has been modified. Thank you for catching the bugs.
