Chapter 2113 Finally boarded the starship!

Granny Liu visits the Grand View Garden and is dazzled by the sight.

This is Ye Ye’s truest feeling at this moment.

He, a traveler from Earth, had felt a little uncomfortable with this blue planet that had ushered in the era of beastmasters. However, when he actually stepped into this huge space station, the discomfort became even stronger.

From time to time, some unnamed high-tech machines rushed past like meteors, their speed was so fast that it was astonishing, as if showing people the infinite possibilities of technology. In this seemingly virtual space, everything seemed so real that people could not help but feel awe at the power of technology.

Ye Ye's mood was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, complicated and indescribable. He was amazed at the advanced technology here, but also felt sorry for the relatively backward development of the Blue Star technology tree.

However, with Lu Yue's patient introduction, Ye Ye had a general understanding of the structure of the entire space station. It turned out that this space station was mainly divided into two major areas: one was the administrative area with integrated offices, where various management and operation facilities were concentrated; the other was the berth for starships, where many starships were neatly arranged, like a fleet waiting to go out.

In this simulated world, one is responsible for the start and stop commands of the starship, and the other is responsible for the launch and docking of the starship. However, this is just a simple scene presented by the starship simulation cabin. The real space station is much more complicated than this.

At this moment, Ye Ye and Lu Yue came to a landing gate where the starship was docked. The structure of this place was similar to the boarding gate of an airport, with a long corridor and a platform at the door to confirm the information of the two people. When they walked to the platform, they quickly determined the model they were going to drive according to the instructions of the staff.

Since Ye Ye was here to learn how to drive a starship, Lu Yue did not choose to directly use the highest-level starship available in the advanced training cabin, but specially selected a medium-to-large shuttle as a teaching tool. After confirming the relevant information with the staff, the two walked through the corridor and finally came to an elevator door.

"Under normal circumstances, all the external hatches of starships are kept tightly closed. This is to ensure the safety and sealing of the interior of the starship and prevent the external environment from affecting the starship. If someone needs to board the starship, there are usually two common ways."

"One way is to board the starship via the elevator at the bottom of the starship. This elevator is usually located at the bottom of the starship, connecting the inside and outside of the starship. Passengers can use the elevator to enter the interior of the starship and then go to the area they need to reach."

"Another way is that some large starships will have special starship hatches. These hatches are usually larger than ordinary hatches and can accommodate small starships. Passengers can drive the small starship close to the large starship, and then use a special docking procedure to connect the small starship with the hatch of the large starship to enter the interior of the large starship."

"In addition, for general frigates and even large cruisers, their operation usually requires at least two pilots at the same time. This is because the starship's operating system is relatively complex, and it is difficult for one pilot to take care of all operations at the same time. For example, when the pilot is manually driving the starship, he may not be able to operate the weapon system or the protection system at the same time. If there is only one pilot, then in an emergency, some functions of the starship may not be able to be used normally due to the inability to switch operations in time."

"Therefore, according to the clear markings in the guidelines, any starship should be equipped with at least two pilots to ensure the safety and normal operation of the starship."

"In the freshman exam, the genius class academy, as the chief commander and captain, needs to command the freshmen and start a frigate of at least a thousand-meter level to engage in combat. If you want to get a good score, Brother Ye, the first thing you need to do is to understand the responsibilities of each department."

Before the elevator came down, Lu Yue gave Ye Ye some basic knowledge.

These principles are not complicated. Ye Ye understood the meaning after a little thought, so he nodded to show that he understood. Then, he looked at Lu Yue and said softly, "Well, I understand. Please continue."

At this moment, the elevator door slowly opened, making a slight "ding" sound. Seeing this, Lu Yue stepped into the elevator, and Ye Ye followed closely behind. The elevator door slowly closed behind them, isolating them from the outside noise.

After entering the elevator, Lu Yue paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts, and then he continued.

"Starships vary in shape, purpose and layout, but in order to maintain a certain degree of uniformity, starships of the same race usually have very similar cockpit layouts. In other words, as long as you are familiar with the cockpit layout of a certain starship, then whether it is a Chinese starship or a U.S. starship, you can basically master how to operate them with a rough glance. However, if you want to cross races to drive starships of other races, it may take some time to adapt. After all, the design concepts and operating methods of starships of different races may be very different. Like me, I have only learned to drive human starships. If I were asked to drive a starship of the Zerg, the Monster or other races, I might also need to spend some time learning and adapting before I can start it smoothly."

Lu Yue continued to say that the elevator was very fast, and after he finished speaking, the elevator door opened directly.

After the two walked out of the elevator, Lu Yue continued to introduce Ye Ye.

"As the temporary captain, you don't need to pay too much attention to the living area, entertainment area, and logistics area inside the starship. Instead, you should understand the external structure of the starship, just like the shuttle we are in now. It has an irregular prismatic shape as a whole."

As Lu Yue spoke, he pulled up the structural diagram of the starship from the optical computer and showed it to Ye Ye. He pointed at the structural diagram and explained.

"When we face an emergency and need to maneuver to evade, such as avoiding attacks from torpedoes and starship main guns, if you cannot avoid them completely, then you need to consider adjusting the position of the starship to allow some relatively unimportant parts to withstand the attack."

Lu Yue particularly emphasized the engine at the tail and the warp cabin at the belly. He said,

"These two parts are very critical and must not be hit. Once they are damaged, the starship's power system and navigation capabilities will be seriously affected."

Ye Ye listened to Lu Yue's explanation attentively, nodding from time to time to show that he understood the key points. Lu Yue was also very pleased to see Ye Ye so focused, and he continued to introduce in detail the other structures of the starship and how to deal with emergencies.

As the two of them walked, they gradually approached the cab opposite the elevator door. During the introduction, Lu Yue also showed Ye Ye the location and functions of some control panels and instruments based on actual conditions.

Ye Ye carefully absorbed the knowledge taught by Lu Yue, knowing that this was crucial for him to serve as the temporary captain. He not only had to remember this information, but also be able to use it flexibly in actual operations to ensure the safety of the starship and the crew.

Entering the cockpit, Ye Ye actually found it somewhat familiar. Although it was smaller in size, its structure was almost exactly the same as the cockpit of the Dreadnought, including the frigate that Lu Yue was on.

"The driving position is undoubtedly the core of the starship! All the operational instructions of a starship are issued and transmitted from here."

Lu Yue pointed at the driving seat in the center of the cockpit with excitement on his face and said to Ye Ye.

When Ye Ye heard Lu Yue say this, his curiosity and expectation were instantly ignited. He couldn't hold back any longer, so he walked towards the driver's seat without hesitation. When he finally sat in the driver's seat, an indescribable feeling came over him.

The driver's seat was a little cold, so Ye Ye leaned back gently, letting his body fit completely on the seat, and then naturally placed his hands on the armrests. At this moment, a surge of excitement suddenly surged in his heart, and this feeling was exactly the same as the moment when he first put his hands on the steering wheel when he was learning to drive.

Then, Lu Yue began to introduce to Ye Ye in detail the duties of some operating consoles under the driving seat. He talked endlessly, covering the communication system, weapon system, protection system, cruise system, etc. Of course, these complex operations were not something Ye Ye needed to perform personally. Usually, these tasks were completed by the deputy and other crew members in the cockpit.

After communicating some necessary procedures for takeoff, Lu Yue's eyes fell on Ye Ye expectantly, as if waiting for his reaction.

"Although it's just a simulation, the realism of this starship simulation cabin is almost limitlessly realistic. You can apply to the tower for takeoff."

After Lu Yue finished speaking, Ye Ye nodded and followed Lu Yue's instruction. He lightly tapped the button on the armrest of his right hand and a virtual screen instantly appeared in front of Ye Ye. After uploading all the data of the starship, he communicated with the tower.

"Training aircraft No. 471 is ready for takeoff. Energy is %. Request to take off."

Ye Ye's voice was a little nervous, which made Lu Yue want to laugh, but the tower was very efficient and responded quickly.

"Permission to take off, safe journey."

The tower's response was very concise, and Ye Ye breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Lu Yue turned into a busy man, bustling back and forth at the various workstations under the captain's seat, doing some preparations before takeoff. Seeing this, Ye Ye sighed, he could be the top scorer!

Soon, with the help of Lu Yue, the entire starship entered the stage of preparation for takeoff. The engine began to roar, and a slight vibration came from Ye Ye's butt. Seeing Lu Yue looking at him, Ye Ye knew it was time.

"Ahem...Training aircraft No. 471 is ready to take off. Destination navigation has been activated. It will enter warp flight thirty seconds after leaving the space station."

"Three, two, one, fire."

Ye Ye spoke, and at the same time he finished lighting the ignition, Lu Yue also sat in the first mate's seat and pushed the push rod above directly upwards!

At that moment, Ye Ye suddenly realized that the shuttle seemed to be moving. He looked closely and found that the huge spaceship was slowly moving away from the berth where the starship was parked. At the same time, the glass of the observation window began to show a real-time dynamic route, clearly showing the shuttle's trajectory.

Ye Ye stared at the route map closely, and saw the shuttle ship sliding out of the berth smoothly and slowly according to the runway route given by the tower. The whole process was like a carefully choreographed dance, and every movement seemed so elegant and precise.

Finally, the shuttle successfully reached the end of the runway, and then quickly disappeared from sight like a light bird. Standing in front of the observation window, Ye Ye could clearly see the vast sea of stars in front of him through the glass.

However, unlike the push-back feeling he had expected, although they left the space station at an extremely fast speed, Ye Ye did not feel anything unusual. The whole process was extremely smooth, as if they were not traveling at high speed in space, but leisurely boating on a calm lake.

"Countdown to warp speed flight, ten, nine, eight..."

The shuttle has left the space station, and Lu Yue began the countdown diligently. As the countdown reached zero, blue light instantly filled the entire observation window, and the surrounding sea of stars turned into silver threads, rapidly passing by.

"Okay, we have completed the first step. Our destination is the weapons training ground more than ten light years outside the space station. At the warp speed of this shuttle, it will take about an hour to get there."

Lu Yue set the curvature of the warp flight and kept it on autopilot. Then he stood up from his workstation, walked to Ye Ye, and spoke, adding one more sentence at the end.

"How is it, Brother Ye? Are you excited about driving a starship for the first time?"

Hearing Lu Yue's words, Ye Ye smacked his lips and said uncertainly.

"It's okay... It's easier than I thought."

Hearing Ye Ye's words, Lu Yue rolled his eyes.

Is it really that simple? If he hadn't run around, it would have been impossible for Ye Ye to operate this starship without artificial intelligence by himself.

However, there are not many people like Ye Ye who can directly become a captain without having any experience in subordinate work. In addition, the captain does not need to do those more tedious tasks, so Lu Yue did not attack Ye Ye again.

"Captain, this is the case. Compared to the busy work below, the captain's duty is to issue the most accurate and correct orders, and lead a ship of dozens, even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of crew members to travel safely and return safely."

"The captain has the heaviest burden on his shoulders, because a single wrong order from you could lead to the annihilation of your entire army."

Lu Yue spoke, and Ye Ye nodded at Lu Yue's words.
