Chapter 2158 Everyone has their own duties and strives for the assessment!
Various thoughts kept flashing through Ye Ye's mind. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. This plot development was completely beyond his expectations. What secrets were the Ning family hiding?
Ye Ye's thoughts were interrupted by Su Ziwu's voice at this moment. He came back to his senses and looked at Su Ziwu, only to see that she frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"what happened to you?"
Ye Ye felt a little guilty, and he didn't know how to answer Su Ziwu's question. What he had just said seemed to have aroused Su Ziwu's vigilance. She instinctively felt that something was wrong with Ye Ye. Especially when combined with what Ye Ye had said before, Su Ziwu couldn't help but start to wonder if Ye Ye had made any new discoveries.
Ye Ye hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to keep it a secret from Su Ziwu. He didn't want Su Ziwu to have too high expectations; after all, if it turned out to be an accident, Su Ziwu would probably be extremely disappointed. So, he casually said something.
"nothing……"
Then he changed the subject, trying to hide his uneasiness.
If Su Ziwu's mother got involved with the Ning family, then...
Moreover, Ye Ye had a lingering premonition: Wu Yuan might very well be Su Ziwu's mother. This premonition wasn't without basis. Wu Yuan's special care for Ye Ye, and that meaningful look, had left Ye Ye with the impression that Wu Yuan had a special impression of him. Could it be that Wu Yuan knew he was from Blue Star? Or even had some connection to Su Ziwu?
How is this possible? But if it's not like this, it's hard to explain!
In the midst of one unexpected incident after another, Ye Ye's understanding of certain things gradually deviated from the correct direction... Although Su Ziwu noticed that Ye Ye seemed to be hiding something, she did not care too much. After all, Ye Ye had always been a very measured person. He must have had a reason for doing this, perhaps because he was thinking of something uncertain.
In short, after dozens of days of separation, Ye Ye's team finally reunited. This made Ye Ye feel a little unbelievable, as if everything was so unreal.
"So, our task now is to take the freshman assessment, right?"
At this moment, Tong Chengcheng suddenly spoke, as if wanting to temporarily change the subject and ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Lu Yue also keenly noticed this, and he quickly took the opportunity to speak.
"That's right. The freshman assessment will be held in about three days, followed by the opening ceremony, and then we'll officially start school. The rewards for this freshman assessment are quite generous!"
"During the freshman assessment, the students in the gifted class will face an extremely challenging task—serving as the chief commander and captain, piloting a frigate of at least a kilometer in diameter to engage in combat with other students."
"Although this level of frigate isn't among the fleet's top combatants, it's certainly not something ordinary students can afford. To give students the opportunity to practice and train, the school provides some training ships for them to use. However, most of these starships are obsolete from a century ago, and their performance and equipment are relatively outdated."
"Despite this, the vast majority of gifted class students still choose to use their own starships for assessment. They would rather choose frigates, shuttles, or attack ships of slightly lower tonnage levels than use the training ships provided by the school."
"According to the local teacher, the rewards for this freshman assessment are exceptionally generous, even more attractive than in previous years. As for the reason..."
Lu Yue couldn't help but think of some rumors. It seemed that the Supreme Starship Inspection paid special attention to this assessment and even added a lot of resources.
At this point, Lu Yue glanced at Ye Ye thoughtfully. He had a feeling that this matter seemed to be somehow related to Ye Ye, or rather, inextricably linked to Li Lingzhi. Could it be that Li Lingzhi was so certain that Ye Ye would win first place in the assessment?
"Rewards are generally divided into two categories: cash and materials. The cash rewards are self-explanatory, but the materials rewards are even more enticing. As far as I know, the top-ranked freshman in last year's assessment received all the materials needed to build a medium-sized spaceship! Not only that, but the school will also cover all the construction costs. It's simply pie in the sky! You know, this kind of spaceship is capable of interstellar travel, and its value is inestimable."
Lu Yue excitedly told Tong Chengcheng all the information he knew in one breath, leaving her stunned and completely stunned.
"Give so many things?"
Tong Chengcheng couldn't help but say.
"No wonder Ye Ye is so concerned..."
However, just as she was still immersed in her anticipation for the generous reward, Lan Yunsheng suddenly spoke.
"Can we do it? Aren't we too few people..."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the enthusiasm in Tong Chengcheng's heart.
Indeed, Lan Yunsheng's concerns were not unfounded. After all, with such an attractive reward, competition was bound to be fierce. Their team was relatively small, and their strength might not be comparable to other teams. Under such circumstances, standing out in the freshman assessment was undoubtedly a daunting task.
"For some special reasons, Brother Ye actually obtained an extremely powerful battleship-class cruiser! This is a very powerful warship! If we were fully manned, we would definitely be as invincible as the big boss in the freshman assessment! Unfortunately, we are seriously short of manpower. Even if a cruiser of this level is manned with 100 or 200 people, it would not be too much. Even if Brother Ye's driving skills are superb, it will still be very difficult for him to win the assessment."
"Also, you may not have heard recently, but we've had some minor conflicts with some students in the gifted class. There's a high chance we've been targeted."
Lu Yue said this with a serious expression, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered a very tricky situation.
At this time, Tong Chengcheng looked at Ye Ye in surprise, as if to say, "Can you drive a starship?"
However, before Tong Chengcheng asked, Zhao Ling said disapprovingly.
He waved his hand nonchalantly.
"What are you afraid of? Just do it. We are not easy to bully!"
His voice was loud and firm, revealing a fearless aura.
After hearing Zhao Ling's words, Lan Yunsheng and Tong Chengcheng also echoed.
"that is!"
Their voices were in unison, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
Even the usually calm Fu Yu couldn't help but nod, expressing his agreement with Zhao Ling's point of view. Although his expression was not as flamboyant as Zhao Ling's, he could still see the confidence and determination in her heart.
Along the way, they'd faced countless difficulties and challenges, each time managing to overcome them. How could they possibly be timid facing a group of students? Especially Zhao Ling and Fu Yu, who were the ruthless individuals who had willingly sacrificed their lives to take Olmid away. Such courage and determination were not something that ordinary people possessed.
"Okay, then there's nothing more to say, just do it!"
Ye Ye slammed the table, stood up and said in a decisive tone.
"The seven of us are definitely enough!"
His eyes swept over everyone present, his gaze firm and confident.
Then, Ye Ye paused for a moment, then looked at Tong Chengcheng and the others, and asked with a smile.
"By the way, how's your recent training in the simulation chamber going?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Chengcheng and others started talking at once as if their mouths were opened.
"We are indeed undergoing special training, but the system here is completely different from what we learned before. It's really hard to learn!"
Tong Chengcheng frowned and said with a bitter face.
"One person in particular is completely clueless!"
After saying that, Tong Chengcheng deliberately glanced at Lan Yunsheng with a playful smile on her face.
Lan Yunsheng was immediately displeased when he saw this. He glared at the man and retorted.
"How come I don't understand anything? I just need some time to get used to it!"
However, although Lan Yunsheng said he was not convinced, he knew in his heart that after coming to Qimingxing, a planet with a technology tree far superior to Blue Star, their study career would be like walking on thin ice, full of difficulties and challenges.
In contrast, Tong Chengcheng, the hacker prodigy, thrived here. He absorbed new knowledge and techniques so quickly that everyone else couldn't help but look at him with new eyes. Tong Chengcheng could grasp any tutorial in a flash. In just three days, Lan Yunsheng felt like he had learned nothing, while Tong Chengcheng was already a seasoned expert, mastering almost any project.
"I mainly learned map drawing and navigation, as well as assisted steering. Although I'm not very proficient, I think I should have no problem assisting you."
Su Ziwu's voice was clear and firm, as if he was full of confidence in his abilities.
At this moment, Lu Yue suddenly realized something and quickly pulled out his laptop from his pocket, quickly opening it and starting recording. His fingers slid across the screen quickly, as if afraid to miss a single word Su Ziwu said.
At the same time, Fu Yu also spoke.
"I'm in charge of logistics and medical services, but it looks like there's no medical care on board..."
Her tone was somewhat helpless, and there was a bitter smile on her face.
Logistics management sounds simple, but it's actually incredibly complex. It not only involves arranging personnel movements but also ensuring food safety, medical care, energy allocation, and other aspects of the operation. However, with such a limited crew, Fu Yu's role is clearly limited.
"Zhao Ling and I studied weapons systems and defense. While we can't claim to be proficient at them, we can still manage simple aiming and firing. As for defense, we can only ensure we don't cause trouble at critical moments..."
At this point, both Zhao Ling and Lan Yunsheng looked a little embarrassed.
Obviously, they were not very good at learning this kind of skills, which made them seem a little lacking in confidence when facing Ye Ye's questions.
Finally, Ye Ye's gaze fell on Tong Chengcheng, who was standing with his head held high and chest puffed out with pride, seemingly full of confidence in his own abilities.
"I'm number one on Blue Star! Now that I'm here, I want to be number one too!"
Tong Chengcheng's voice was clear and loud, revealing an undisguised arrogance.
Then he continued.
"I've systematically studied the entire Starship Piloting Manual. And it's not just theoretical knowledge. I've personally operated no fewer than five different starships! So, no matter what you ask me to do, I can handle it!"
Tong Chengcheng's words left Ye Ye somewhat confused. He didn't know how to assign specific tasks to Tong Chengcheng. However, Lu Yue, who was standing by, was frightened.
"The entire Starship Pilot Manual? Are you talking about the one issued by the Starship Supreme Procuratorate?"
Lu Yue's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Lu Yue opened his mouth in astonishment, his mouth wide open, as if it could fit an egg. His voice trembled slightly with surprise: "What? The starship pilot manual of the highest starship inspector?"
You know, starship piloting manuals aren't exactly rare, and many institutions have their own versions. Take high school teachers, for example, who even compiled a special manual to make starship piloting easier and more intuitive for students!
However, this so-called highest-level starship piloting manual is vastly different from other ordinary manuals. It is not just a guide, but the benchmark for all piloting manuals, the most difficult to learn and the most profound of all manuals.
Many Starfleet Academy students, even upon graduation, had only scratched the surface of this manual. After all, it contained descriptions of every position in the Starfleet, and its content was so complex and profound that it was simply staggering.
"of course."
Hearing Lu Yue's words, Tong Chengcheng answered as a matter of course.
This shocked Lu Yue. You know, how long has Tong Chengcheng been at Qimingxing?
After more than ten seconds, Lu Yue seemed to come back to his senses suddenly. He took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.
"That's much easier now... For the next three days, we just need to focus on getting the ship up and running. After all, having seven people pilot a battlecruiser is certainly a challenging task, but it's not completely impossible. Of course, there may be some difficulties during actual operation, such as the slower response speed of certain functions and reduced sensitivity to the outside world."
Lu Yue's voice became more and more excited, as if he had seen the dawn of success. He continued.
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let's get started! Let's go straight to the simulation chamber and start training!"
At this moment, Lu Yue was extremely excited. He was originally worried that this mission would be in vain, but he did not expect to receive such an unexpected surprise!
