695 – 33 Sky Wing Wars.h.i.+p
TL : GoldenLung
The pirate crew’s name was simply 33 Sky Wings. It was the same name as their Sky Fighter team, so they had deliberately changed the paint on this wars.h.i.+p. The dark blue wars.h.i.+p with 33 white wings as its symbol was extremely eye-catching.
Deng Bo was already waiting for them at the wars.h.i.+p. When he saw Lan Xuanyu’s group, he walked over and pointed at the wars.h.i.+p behind him. “How is it? Not bad, right?”
The wars.h.i.+p in front of him was about 90 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 28 meters tall. It was streamlined and had extended wings on both sides. It looked like a gigantic soul wars.h.i.+p, but it was slightly bloated. However, it was naturally for the sake of carrying more weapons and personnel.
“Meteor grade a.s.sault wars.h.i.+p. It’s one level higher than the previous wars.h.i.+p. Pirate crews that have a Meteor grade a.s.sault wars.h.i.+p are at least slightly famous. This wars.h.i.+p can bring 300 people to battle at the same time. Of course, you guys don’t need that many people. It’s easy to control and isn’t much different from your current wars.h.i.+p. Its weapon system is equipped with a 720-mm super cannon, eight 160-mm cannons, and various high-tech equipment such as interference missiles, capture missiles, and missiles. Its radar is very advanced and can detect invisible wars.h.i.+ps within a certain range. It also has an invisibility function. After going through the Douluo Hall’s special approval, we have equipped all of you with four G.o.d Killer Antimatter Soul Ammunition. They are more than ten times stronger than the one you used previously, but I hope that you guys will try not to use them. This thing can cause great destruction on planets. A wars.h.i.+p below the rank of War G.o.d won’t be able to block off with their protective s.h.i.+eld. But the price for a single missile is extremely high. You guys will have to purchase it if you want more in the future. I can tell you the price now, ten purple emblems for one. And this is after taking into account a special discount for you guys. We’ve also taken care of the fuel for you this time. You just have to put some rare metals in the furnace to activate the motors. Same for providing energy to the weapon system.”
Lan Xuanyu: “Will there be no support for our energy in the future?”
Deng Bo said, “The sect has already given you a lot of support. Not counting the wars.h.i.+p itself, just the equipment and setting up on the wars.h.i.+p alone are worth more than 100 purple emblems. Your Sky Fighter mission depends on you guys. Unless you guys contribute to the sect, it is only one-time use for your team. The wars.h.i.+p can be rented to you guys until you graduate from the Outer Court.”
Lan Xuanyu sighed and said, “The sect has already given us a lot of support. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the first place! But Captain, I have a question. Look, can you directly give us the 100 purple emblems worth of resources? We won’t be doing the team missions anymore and will be doing ordinary missions instead, alright?”
Deng Bo stared at him in shock. “You…”
“I was just joking, just joking.” Lan Xuanyu quickly smiled apologetically.
Deng Bo said in annoyance, “You little brat, I’m telling you, be careful. This wars.h.i.+p is equipped with the latest technology from Tang Sect. If you really encounter danger, we’d rather destroy it than let it fall into the hands of the pirates. Understand?”
“En, I understand.” Lan Xuanyu nodded. “Why don’t you come with us to play?”
Deng Bo’s lips twitched. “Follow you guys? And let you kidnap and cheat another wars.h.i.+p? Dream on. Let’s go, get on the wars.h.i.+p. I’ll explain to you how to use it and you guys can fly by yourselves. The piloting method is basically the same as your wars.h.i.+p, but it has more functions.”
He wasn’t willing to move with Lan Xuanyu and the rest, mainly because he was afraid of being angered to death.
With regards to this, Lan Xuanyu was helpless! Trust wasn’t established at the start, and it wouldn’t be easy to establish it again.
After boarding the wars.h.i.+p, it was indeed much more s.p.a.cious than their own. After all, they were not on the same level. The internal configuration of the wars.h.i.+p was very rich. Different systems required different personnel to operate.
It was well-suited for the Star War Experiment cla.s.s. They had long learned how to pilot a wars.h.i.+p, so they were naturally familiar with it. Lan Xuanyu quickly made the allocation and a.s.signed the students to different positions.
The greatest advantage of the Tang Sect’s wars.h.i.+p was its piloting. This wars.h.i.+p that could accommodate 300 people only required at least 20 people to pilot smoothly.
There was a special resting area in the rear cabin, as well as a leisure area. There was also a special meditation room. According to Lan Xuanyu’s request, there was even a special forging room. This was what Lan Xuanyu had specially requested when he requested for the wars.h.i.+p. The journey back and forth during every mission was very long and there wasn’t much he could do other than meditate. He could use this time to forge! Practice forging alloys and forging metals to prepare everyone’s Two-Word Battle Armors in the future.
The Tang Sect was truly powerful. They completed the modification within two days. Not only did they have a forging room, but they also had a special room for meditation, a comprehensive battle room, a quiet design room, and a manufacturing room. It was not a problem to make Battle Armors directly on the wars.h.i.+p. They were very thoughtful.
100 purple emblems were only the value of the various weapons and energy on the wars.h.i.+p, not the wars.h.i.+p itself! Lan Xuanyu felt that the value of the wars.h.i.+p itself was not an exaggeration.
After checking the strength of the weapon system, the students from the 33 Sky Wings truly fell in love with this wars.h.i.+p. It was much better than what they usually used when learning how to pilot a wars.h.i.+p. In the next two years or so, this wars.h.i.+p would belong to them. They could pilot it on their own and travel in s.p.a.ce to complete their Sky Fighter missions.
This was something that the other schools would never have imagined. If a normal student from the s.p.a.ce Command faculty wanted to pilot a real wars.h.i.+p, they would have to wait until they graduated and start from the lowest level wars.h.i.+p to familiarize themselves with it.
As for Lan Xuanyu’s team, it was equivalent to them owning a wars.h.i.+p that they could command. Although it was rented, who else would dare to rent it to them other than the Tang Sect?
This was not only the Tang Sect’s wealth, but also their trust in them! If they lost their wars.h.i.+p, it would be a huge loss for ordinary forces or the military. But the Tang Sect was rich and imposing, so they really didn’t care.
After introducing the various functions, Deng Bo quickly realized that no one was paying attention to him. Looking at these excited youths, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
It was only when he was 25 years old that he was able to command a wars.h.i.+p. Even so, he was still a very young wars.h.i.+p commander of the Tang Sect. But at that time, he was only commanding a Meteorite-cla.s.s reconnaissance wars.h.i.+p!
The Douluo Hall’s special approval this time gave these children a meteorite cla.s.s wars.h.i.+p. There was a difference of one rank and it was a world of difference.
In the military, the captain of a meteorite cla.s.s a.s.sault wars.h.i.+p was at least a colonel. The Tang Sect really valued these children!
This was what they meant by one could die from anger comparing oneself to others. However, according to Deng Bo’s estimation, there was a high chance that more than 10 out of these 33 children would be able to get into Shrek Academy’s Inner Court. If they really succeeded, the Tang Sect’s investment would definitely be worth it.
“Captain!” Lan Xuanyu suddenly appeared by his side and hugged Deng Bo’s shoulders as he smiled.
“What?” Being stared at by Lan Xuanyu like that, Deng Bo felt a little guilty. It seemed like this was a replay of the scene before they kidnapped him.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Captain, it’s like this. If we can bring back some resources from this mission, can we directly exchange them for the resources needed for the wars.h.i.+p at our Tang Sect? Shrek shouldn’t have these.”
Deng Bo said, “This should be possible, and it is very welcomed by the sect. The sect also needs all sorts of resources and will definitely not let you guys lose out in terms of exchange. It can be considered that you guys have contributed to the sect. You are very welcome.”
